#52: July 14-21, 2015

Knowledge Fight dissects Alex Jones’ July 14–21, 2015, rants—from his failed "news roundtable" promises and Trump skepticism (despite later alignment) to debunked claims like Seattle’s "brown bag ban," Planned Parenthood demonization, and UN troop conspiracies tied to State Department Memo 7277. His son Rex’s GMO book report reveals exploitative parenting, while gendered supplement ads ("Super Female Vitality") mock his hypocrisy. Jones’ unchecked propaganda, from Charleston shooter logic to "purple penguin" school myths, underscores his pattern of fearmongering without accountability, proving his rhetoric thrives on absurdity and manipulation.

Speaker Time Text
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
I'm a first Tim Color.
I'm a huge fan.
alex jones
I love your work.
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple of dudes who like to sit around and drink novelty beverages and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
That's correct.
Today we have Sprecker, a fire-brewed cherry cran gourmet soda.
dan friesen
It is definitely gourmet.
Cherry cran.
jordan holmes
I don't hold on.
dan friesen
Prediction.
jordan holmes
Prediction.
dan friesen
Is it going to be cherry cran-cola or just cherry cranberry?
What do you think?
jordan holmes
I don't know.
I don't actually know what applying the word cola means.
dan friesen
Well, it means it would taste like a Coke, but with cherry cranberry flavoring.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Or is it just straight-up fruit soda?
unidentified
Let's go with Coke with Cherry Coke.
dan friesen
Let's find out.
jordan holmes
Here we go.
dan friesen
The big reveal.
Jordan taking a swig.
jordan holmes
Wow.
This is fucking delicious.
unidentified
Yes.
jordan holmes
It is so good.
dan friesen
This is a first.
jordan holmes
It's so good.
I'm going to drink six of these.
Yes.
What does it taste like?
I have no idea.
No clue.
Right now, all I can experience is joy.
dan friesen
I will open mine up during our first clip, but first, let's get to an out-of-context drop of Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Before we do that, let me ask you a question about this show.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.
jordan holmes
Do you remember how we're professionals at this, apparently?
dan friesen
I don't.
jordan holmes
Oh, fair enough.
Good point.
dan friesen
Listen.
I know a lot about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Do you?
dan friesen
I do.
jordan holmes
Can we take that again?
From the top.
dan friesen
There's a twist to this show.
jordan holmes
Is there a twist?
dan friesen
I know a lot about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
I don't know anything about Alex Jones.
Let's get to an out-of-context drop.
Ad liberal.
alex jones
And liberal!
I'm liberal!
unidentified
I rule!
alex jones
At liberal!
dan friesen
Also, I don't know.
jordan holmes
All right, that's a good one.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's pretty good out of context drop.
I'd like to give a shout-out to.
jordan holmes
Is he also doing riddles with fucking Frodo in the dark?
unidentified
Does that sound like some sort of weird troll being?
dan friesen
I'd like to give a shout out to someone who is not a troll being, ladies and gentlemen.
jordan holmes
That is some great, great segues.
dan friesen
This is a first honorary policy wonk, because I don't know if this guy donates to the show, but I've been putting off writing back an email to listener Brian for quite a while.
He sent me what may be the world's greatest email.
Okay.
Really sort of lifts my spirits.
Whenever I feel like it doesn't matter that we're doing the show, I can take a little look at this email and be like, all right, that's very reassuring, and I appreciate it very much to the point where I've been trying to write him back for about two weeks, and I can't.
I sit down and I feel like an asshole, so instead of writing you back, Brian, I'd like to thank you publicly and give you an honorary policy won status.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
dan friesen
Welcome aboard.
jordan holmes
Welcome aboard, Brian.
dan friesen
You don't need to give money to be a policy wonk apparently.
jordan holmes
Your email was so good that Dan apparently kept it to himself and did not tell me about it, which I can only assume means you talk some serious shit about me.
dan friesen
It's all about how much you suck.
jordan holmes
It's all about how the show is garbage and it should just be Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan yells too much.
unidentified
We just want Dan's analysis.
dan friesen
Said nobody.
No, it was more just I was embarrassed that it was so positive.
I have to hide those things.
Anyway.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much, Brian.
It really does mean a lot whenever people say nice things.
dan friesen
Indeed.
jordan holmes
It really does.
dan friesen
Or unnice things about Alex Jones.
So today, Jordan, we're going to be embarking in part four of my investigation into what the fuck happened to Alex Jones in 2015.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Today, we're going to be covering the time span of July 14th through July 21st, 2015.
It's going to be strange.
It's a weird road ahead, but there's a lot of stuff that's very worth discussing.
And Alex Jones being very weird.
Very weird.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
His headspace is so fucked up.
And I think I've started to piece a few things together.
I'm going to give you some of this analysis up front.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
I think that Alex Jones, more than being just a propagandist, is someone who's tricked by propaganda very easily.
jordan holmes
That would make sense.
That follows.
dan friesen
And I think I like to play the game where there's something super nefarious going on and Roger Stone is pulling the strings behind him.
jordan holmes
As do we all.
dan friesen
And that may be the case.
But a very simple explanation.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, hopefully for the popularity of our show, it's the case.
dan friesen
Sure, if we break that, that would be huge.
jordan holmes
That'd be huge, yeah.
If it turns out he's just an idiot, then we all feel kind of weird, don't we?
dan friesen
that everyone's like he knew that yeah i'm starting breaking scientists have discovered that alex jones is a fucking moron i'm I'm starting to get a sense that possibly a lot of his transformation that happens in 2015 is that there is weaponized propaganda going around, and he is as much a proponent of it as he is a victim of it.
And one of the things that made that click into place was I was listening very carefully to James Comey's testimony last week.
And one of the things that he was asked was, when did the FBI become first aware of Russian hacking and Russian influence campaigns?
And his answer was summer of 2015, which is right around the era when we're talking about.
jordan holmes
Okay.
All right.
dan friesen
I've noticed a lot of instances of Alex believing bullshit stories.
jordan holmes
That were deliberately or at least possibly traced back to those kind of Russian propaganda campaigns.
dan friesen
It's possible.
I don't know if we can definitively say that.
We can definitely say that he believes complete lies.
Right.
And he would be susceptible to that.
jordan holmes
Circumstantially, it does seem to make sense.
dan friesen
If he was hacked.
unidentified
Ooh.
dan friesen
There's all sorts of shit that happened.
jordan holmes
Now we've got a different nefarious campaign.
I'm loving it.
dan friesen
It's entirely possible.
jordan holmes
I'm loving it.
dan friesen
Because if you were someone who was trying to use influence campaigns, if you were trying to use propaganda to sway public opinion, one of the very obvious targets would be Alex Jones.
He's clearly crazy.
He's hiding something.
jordan holmes
Yes, he is.
dan friesen
His finances are out of control.
He has a lunatic fringe of audience.
Like, it would be someone who you'd obviously want to blackmail.
jordan holmes
A lunatic fringe that we can probably safely say is proportionally more violent than the rest of us.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So I don't know if any of this will bear out, but that's something that I'm starting to look at and starting to feel is that he just falls for propaganda really easily.
And we'll see a bit of it over the course of this episode.
But first, let's start in July 14th.
Alex Jones has an interesting ride on July 14th, but he has one big announcement that he starts the show with.
And this is very exciting.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
Because at the end of this clip, I will explain why this excites the shit out of me.
But I think you'll know.
I think you'll be able to.
jordan holmes
I think it'll be obvious.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah.
alex jones
All right, strap yourselves in.
It's going to be a power-packed, loaded transmission today.
And we're going to be going live right into the fourth hour.
Most stations carry just the first three hours.
For years, I did four hours.
And a lot of stations still carry the fourth hour.
That's a re-air of the first hour.
Or some stations carry the second, third, and fourth hour.
It varies.
But I am looking at bringing back, I will announce here on air, sometime this year, the fourth hour.
But making the fourth hour an intense news broadcast with a fourth hour roundtable discussion where more than 50 news articles will be covered every day.
Boom, boom, boom.
Throw the topic out.
Get a quick comment from the people on the panel.
Take a call.
Go to the next story.
dan friesen
How say you on Globalists?
They suck.
All right, so first of all, he failed.
jordan holmes
Oh, really?
dan friesen
Making a news-heavy roundtable.
jordan holmes
A news-heavy.
God damn it, Alex.
That's a pipe dream, even for you, sir.
dan friesen
But bringing back the fourth hour means we're this much closer to John Rappaport.
jordan holmes
Oh, that is true.
dan friesen
Yeah, because he is a fourth hour host.
He can't exist within the context of three hours, but once the fourth hour comes.
jordan holmes
Is there a possibility that we'll stumble upon an episode where he does try this fourth hour, and that is the beginning of Rappaport.
dan friesen
He does do the fourth hour on this episode on July 14th.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And he has Leanne McAdoo host.
jordan holmes
I mean, when we're talking about the round table.
So, like, he tries that out.
dan friesen
Bro, I don't think he ever does that.
jordan holmes
Because of, I mean, but come on.
dan friesen
You can't.
jordan holmes
Just the idea of Alex trying to coexist with three other people allowed to talk at the same time.
No.
Zero chance.
dan friesen
But I think his premise...
jordan holmes
But it would be a beautiful fire.
dan friesen
I think the premise is he's not involved in the fourth hour.
Okay.
I think he is saying, because he does get into, like, I've been secretly training the anchors, having them on air.
unidentified
Why?
jordan holmes
Secretly?
Just train them.
That's a good idea.
dan friesen
I've been putting them on air.
They don't know I'm building to something.
David Knight.
Anyway.
jordan holmes
But they should know.
It's their job.
dan friesen
Another thing he talks about is how he's going to launch a TV network, which is important because he's lying about that currently.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
Two years later, he's still saying we're about to do this.
Roger Stone's going to have a TV show.
Mike Cernovich is going to get a show.
jordan holmes
Any moment now.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So I think there's reasons not to get too freaked out about Alex's stated plans in 2017 of having a TV network.
I don't think we need to worry too much about that.
But if it does happen, we do need to be very worried.
jordan holmes
I think it would rapidly become the most sued TV network in history.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Now, that worries me just because I don't know if I'm ready to allow my tax dollars to go to that many legal suits.
dan friesen
Do you remember how Spike TV immediately got sued because Spike Lee was like, that's my name?
jordan holmes
I did not remember that.
dan friesen
This will get sued faster.
So I can't say this enough.
Bring on the Rappaport.
I am excited for that to happen.
Leanne McAdoo hosts the fourth hour in this episode, and she is not ready.
jordan holmes
I think it's just very silly how somehow we've developed this weird fascination with John Rappaport to the point where now I'm kind of rooting for him.
I am too.
He's the worst.
He's a fucking miserable monster who tries to rip fun and joy from everyone and spread this bullshit vaccination lie.
But at the same time, look at you.
Look at you.
You're a weirdo monster that lives in a cave that can't fucking hang a goddamn Peyton.
dan friesen
That's part of it.
jordan holmes
How can I not love this man?
dan friesen
That's a big part of it.
The other part is that he looks like a druid.
He's a googly-eyed Muppet druid.
Anyway, we'll get to John Rappaport when he shows up.
He hasn't even showed up in an interview up to this point.
So I don't even know where he is.
jordan holmes
But where was he found?
dan friesen
I don't know, man.
The other one.
jordan holmes
I want an origin story.
dan friesen
Other realms.
jordan holmes
I want an origin story on John Rappaport.
Is he Radagast the Brown, I think is the greater question.
dan friesen
The Gray.
That's Gandalf.
jordan holmes
That's Gandalf.
dan friesen
I apologize.
jordan holmes
Radagast was the Brown.
dan friesen
I'm not a big enough nerd.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry.
I'm a big old nerd for the Lords of the Ringoos.
dan friesen
So some people have sort of religious feelings about Lord of the Rings.
Would you agree with that?
Some people sort of take it on as a religion.
I'm talking about nerds here.
jordan holmes
I feel like you're leading me towards something, and I don't.
This is a trap.
dan friesen
This is not a smooth trap.
jordan holmes
It's a trap.
This is a terrible transition.
dan friesen
Also, this soda is really good.
jordan holmes
It's delicious.
dan friesen
Alex Jones wants to talk about why he's been getting more religious lately.
And if you think that it's a complete thought, you're wrong.
jordan holmes
This soda is like Galadriel's water.
You know what I'm saying?
dan friesen
Shut up, nerd.
jordan holmes
You know what I'm saying?
alex jones
Galadriel.
People could say before I get into all this news and tell you about the guests that are coming up that why are you getting more and more religious?
Well, it's been said many times: there are no atheists in foxholes.
And when you read about babies wrapped in gold foil being shipped out of China by the thousands every month and being turned into powder for women mainly to eat it, believing it makes them look younger and nobody seems to care.
When you look at hundreds of millions of abortions every year worldwide, when you look at the globalists poisoning our food and water supply by design and forcing gardasil shots on young girls all over the planet, when you look at our government funding ISIS and al-Qaeda, when you look at the borders wide open and El Chapo, now we learn, had his wife move here to have her baby so he'd have an anchor baby.
The billionaire drug dealer even lives off U.S. taxpayers.
I mean, it's a joke.
And so that's why I'm committing to fight as hard as I can.
The British Special Forces slogan for the Special Air Services, the model of Special Forces worldwide, I mean, they were the first to do it, SAS, is fortune favors the bold.
Well, I'm here to tell you, in the face of them coming after our guns, coming after our health, coming after everything, fortune favors the bold.
What is our fortune?
What made our fortune?
What made the prosperity and the freedom?
jordan holmes
Our forebearers getting back down.
alex jones
They refused to be down.
A lot of them came from super servitude, slavery, you name it.
But they persevered to the point where at, and our ancestors aren't losers.
jordan holmes
Get that wrong.
alex jones
Whether you're black, whether you're white, whether you're Hispanic or Asian, all peoples of the earth have incredible histories of incredible adversity and overcoming it.
And that's why we're here today.
The fact that your parents and their grandparents and their great-great-great-great-grandparents were able to have children and have them survive and pass that torch forward.
And the fact that we're alive today as a species and dominant on this planet is because we're winners.
And I'm sick of people telling us we're not winners.
unidentified
I don't understand what this is supposed to be about.
alex jones
Consciousness is incredible.
An incredible God made you.
Whether you believe in God or not, look around you.
Reality is fantastic.
Twelve dimensions they've discovered.
Scientists believe it's probably life in other dimensions.
What do you think all this is?
We only see a very narrow spectrum of light just in the light spectrum of this dimension.
The eye has not seen, the ear has not heard what God, the universe, whatever you want to call it, has in store for us.
And we're not going to let the globalists wall off reality, put us in a matrix to control us, dumb us down, and then phase us out like we're a horse and buggy whip in 1920 and the factories are closing because nobody buys buggies and buggy whips and horses anymore.
We are the innovators.
We are the great creation.
We are in the image of the great creator.
We are special.
We are powerful.
And that's why the fortune wants to bring us down.
dan friesen
So that's why Alex has been getting more religious.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
Was there actually a reason in there?
dan friesen
It was that There's no atheists in foxholes, and he thinks the globalists are committing war on us.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Well, they're causing all the abortions and the gardasil.
How many people are born every year?
Hundreds of people die.
dan friesen
Billions.
I don't know statistics on that.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
We're at like 7.5 billion on the planet right now.
So I assume it's like, I don't know, 100 million babies born a year and then like 70 million people dying a year, something like that.
So if there were hundreds of millions of abortions, that means that if he were to stop abortions, it's entirely possible we would have 12 billion people on this planet next year.
dan friesen
Well, according to the CDC, the Centers for Disease Control, in 2013, 664,435 legal-induced abortions were reported.
So that's in the United States.
So hundreds of millions worldwide, obviously.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that makes sense.
dan friesen
The other stuff is crazy.
Like the babies covered in gold foil.
jordan holmes
That was my favorite.
I immediately got a Willy Wonka's factory situation going there where babies were on conveyor belts and they were just being rolled up in gold.
dan friesen
There was a guy who got arrested with some babies covered in foil, like mummified babies that he was trying to transport back to China from the Philippines or something like that.
I don't remember the origin country, but the reason he was doing that is because China has a very interesting relationship with fetuses and babies, especially ones that have died.
They have a whole tradition around abortion where if you get an abortion, you're supposed to create a shrine to the baby and worship the fetus ghost.
You're supposed to appease the fetus ghost, bring it food and stuff like that to help it live in the other worlds.
jordan holmes
That's like a botchling from old Norse mythology.
dan friesen
Right.
I don't know enough to speak on why someone would want to buy some stranger baby.
I have no idea.
But be that as it may, there's more complicated stuff going on there than Alex is really wrestling with.
It's not for people to eat them.
The other stuff is so crazy.
Like, he believes in God, but then he gets into other dimensions.
There's 12 dimensions.
There's probably things living in them.
jordan holmes
Scientists believe that there are things living in other dimensions.
dan friesen
And then I want to just jump forward to another day's show because it bears playing here.
In this clip, Alex Jones talks a little bit about what he believes about something specific to scripture.
And I mean, like, that's a bad idea.
jordan holmes
He shouldn't really be bringing scripture up.
dan friesen
I'm not certain he's talking about the same Christianity that most people know.
Here you go.
alex jones
And I don't like suicide, but I understand people do when they're in so much pain.
I don't judge people that commit suicide, and I don't think God does either.
I can't speak for God, but just at my gut level, in my spirit, I think if somebody's in excruciating pain or their kids have died and a plane crash and they're distraught, and I understand jumping off a cliff, I wouldn't personally do it.
jordan holmes
But strongly.
alex jones
Selling assisted suicide and eugenics and euthanasia as if it's just some choice of somebody who's in great pain is not what's happening.
This is about devaluing human life and having the state remove people like THX 1138 or Logan's Run.
dan friesen
So he's against assisted suicide and stuff like that because he compares it to a movie and thinks you think it's going to be government control of stuff.
jordan holmes
He could also have said the giver, they had some government-controlled baby killing.
dan friesen
But then at the beginning of it, he's talking about like, I'm cool with suicide, and I think God is too.
In my gut level, I say that.
And I mean, if you look at the Bible, there's seven people who've committed suicide clearly in the Bible.
And six of them are called specifically wicked in the Bible.
Further, Job 121 says, Naked I came from my mother's womb and naked I will depart.
The Lord gave and the Lord is taken away.
A lot of people interpret that to mean that the Lord gives you life and the Lord chooses when your life will end.
The Lord takes away when your life ends.
1 Corinthians 10.13.
He will not let you be tempted by more than you can bear.
But when you are tempted, God will also give you a way to escape that temptation.
A lot of people interpret that to be either temptation towards sin or temptation, God will not give you more than you can handle, more than you can bear.
jordan holmes
Yeah, which is clearly bullshit.
Further, if you needed one reason to disbelieve the Bible, that would be definitely the one of them.
dan friesen
Further, one of the commandments is thou shalt not murder.
And strictly speaking, a lot of people believe that murder, suicide is murder.
You're murdering yourself.
It would be against, if God has given you life, you don't have the right to take it away.
That's a pretty consistent theological message, especially of people who have a pretty hard line on the Bible.
jordan holmes
Yeah, and if you're anti-abortion, then the same logic has to apply to killing yourself.
dan friesen
Right, you would think.
So Alex is in this weird fucking religious space either way.
I just wanted to bring that up because I think he's dumb.
jordan holmes
I don't know if you know this or not, but when Alex was growing up, his parents actually read him the Apocrypha.
They didn't have a King James.
They had all the Gnostic gospels.
dan friesen
He has a Tobit tattoo on his own.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Or is that the pseudo-pigram?
jordan holmes
The Gospel of Mary, the whole thing.
dan friesen
The Gospel of, like, what was it?
Is it Thomas or Judas that was discovered like 10 years ago?
jordan holmes
Judas.
dan friesen
That one didn't exist back when Alex was a wee, by the way.
Uh-uh.
Yeah.
Look, I think if he grew up studying Gnosticism, he would actually be way smarter.
Because he'd have to wrestle with these enigmatic riddles.
And, you know, what's going on with the Barbalo?
What's going on here?
jordan holmes
Well, he was more a fan of the ones.
dan friesen
He praised the Pleroma.
jordan holmes
He's more a fan of the ones where Jesus fought dragons and killed other kids for no reason.
You know, the good stuff.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
So we get back to the 14th here, and something really important happened on the 14th.
Up till this point, Alex has only said that he doesn't trust Trump and that Trump is mobbed up, all these sorts of things.
Very negative things, although he does agree with his rhetoric.
jordan holmes
Loves bigotry, hates the mob.
dan friesen
And does not think it's bigotry.
jordan holmes
Wow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But let's move on.
dan friesen
So on this show, he has an interview with TV.
I don't know if he's on TV, maybe just a radio host, Larry Elder, who is big into Trump.
And I think Alex is a little bit blindsided by it.
jordan holmes
Oh, really?
dan friesen
I think he's not ready to have this interview.
jordan holmes
Was he not expecting this?
dan friesen
I don't know.
I'm not sure exactly.
I think he wanted just to talk about race shit with a black guy and accidentally got sidetracked into talking to a guy who really supports Trump.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
So what he was ostensibly doing is pointing to any, like he's got a globe and he just closes his eyes and points on it.
It's like, find me a black guy who agrees with me.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
And then we'll put him on the show so I don't feel like a horrible racist because I'm totally a horrible racist.
dan friesen
It's possible.
So he starts by having a little conversation about identity politics.
So I think that's largely what he wants to talk about.
alex jones
I think he's really hit the nail on the head there when you talk about they've taken our basic freedoms, they've taken our economic future, they've taken our jobs.
dan friesen
Let's talk about the globalists.
alex jones
And then all they give us is identity politics.
That's why they're now drilling down into saying transgender.
Don't say dad and mom.
Don't say husband and wife.
Don't say boy or girl.
They're doing this with a straight face to just kill any identity that isn't just worshiping the state.
larry elder
And that is why Alex Trump is resonating.
And if I were Trump, I'd broaden the argument.
He has not made the argument that illegal aliens pose a threat to job prospects of people living in the inner city.
dan friesen
But he soon will.
So that, I think, is indicative of exactly what this interview is.
Alex wants to talk about the globalists taking away identity and shit like that.
And, of course, it's mostly influenced by the fact that people are still trying to take down Confederate flags.
And Alex is pissed about that.
jordan holmes
Yes, yeah, yeah.
Battle flags.
Everybody who fought in the Civil War bows to me in my lineage.
dan friesen
Yes, because of tariffs.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And then immediately in answering that question, Larry Elder is like, hey, no, man, I got to tell you, Trump's pretty great.
jordan holmes
And Alex is like, well, that's why would you expect, like, why would Alex expect any of his guests with no prep time, apparently?
None.
To just buy into the globalists.
Like, just because you're on InfoWars, you're not buying into the globalists.
dan friesen
Well, one thing I've actually noticed, I'm glad you brought that up.
One thing that Alex does very consistently, if you listen regularly, he cucks out his guests really hard.
jordan holmes
Because of course he does.
dan friesen
Well, the thing that he does, and I've noticed this technique, you heard it a little bit there.
He's saying that these people are trying to outlaw boy and girl.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You can't say mother and father.
What he does is pretty early in the interview, he'll repeat a false story and get them to sign off on it.
And they will know that it's a false story, but they don't want to challenge his authority on the show because they also want to get to what they want to say.
Exactly, and they want to use the platform.
And after that point, they are essentially compromised.
Right.
So I know that he does that, but also I think that he has a big enough stable of people who are like wink wink on the globalists and stuff like that.
jordan holmes
So, I mean, yeah, globalists, whatever, but did you hear about this Trump guy?
dan friesen
I'm positive this isn't the first time Larry Elder's been on.
It's just that we don't, we've not had him on an episode before.
jordan holmes
Naturally.
dan friesen
So I'm sure they have a pre-existing relationship wherein they both know that each other yells about globalists.
jordan holmes
So the GOP's trying to outlaw pre-existing relationships.
dan friesen
That's true.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
So the interview goes on a little bit, and Alex expresses that he still doesn't really trust Trump.
alex jones
Larry, I want to get into the Donald Trump phenomenon because the mainstream media wouldn't be saying his name thousands of times a day and misrepresenting what he's saying if they didn't have a plan.
I think it is to distract from the other Republican candidates thinking that Trump isn't serious, is going to drop out later.
That's just what my gut's saying.
But regardless, he's saying that.
jordan holmes
Oh, what a beautiful world, though.
alex jones
So he has to be defended.
dan friesen
So that's where he's at.
He's even in the middle of this interview with the pro-Trump Larry Elder.
He's still saying, I don't trust Trump.
jordan holmes
Of course not.
But what he is saying is true, so he has to be defended.
dan friesen
He must be defended.
jordan holmes
Which, great.
That's the logic of a lunatic.
dan friesen
Now Larry Elder steps in it.
larry elder
Well, I disagree.
I think Donald Trump has been defending himself just fine by not apologizing, by not backing down the way Republicans normally do.
Recall when Todd Aiken said legitimate rape, all he was saying is some women, in fact, lie about rape.
Not very many do, but about 10% apparently do.
All of a sudden, Rance Cheese dumped on him and Todd Aiken got destroyed in the election.
Donald Trump has not backed down.
He's not afraid of being called a bigot.
jordan holmes
Words have meaning.
unidentified
No, not in globalists.
jordan holmes
You have to have a word that means a thing, and then the word means a thing.
dan friesen
So Todd Aiken's quote was: in cases of legitimate rape, the body has a way of shutting that.
jordan holmes
Full stop.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Insanity.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
And then the second part.
dan friesen
That was about abortion.
jordan holmes
One, just putting legitimate rape, legitimate in front of rape has nothing to do with whether or not somebody lies about rape.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
That was entirely about all of the like, well, legitimate rape is you have to be beaten up.
dan friesen
There needs to be a knife.
jordan holmes
You can't be coerced.
You can't be pressured on it.
You can't give in.
You can't be forced to do it.
So to a certain point where you're like, well, I guess this is my fault now.
That is all rape.
It is not illegitimate rape.
That's not a thing.
Then the second part is magic.
He said, in cases of legitimate rape, magic is real.
That's what he really said.
dan friesen
Everybody has a way of shutting that down.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Shut it.
dan friesen
What?
Yeah.
So Larry Elder's argument is that Todd Aiken fucked up by apologizing.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And Trump isn't making that problem.
He's not apologizing.
He's not stepping into the same trap that Todd Aiken stepped into.
jordan holmes
And Todd Aiken probably would have done better if he hadn't apologized.
I think that's what we've really learned is that, again, dog whistling is for losers, just out-and-out bigotry.
That's the rule of the law.
dan friesen
Apparently it flies.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
And it turns out that, like, I mean, we said it even on when it happened earlier, like early episodes of the show, Trump should not have fired Flynn.
unidentified
Uh-uh.
dan friesen
All of this probably wouldn't be happening if he just put his dick on the table and was like, no.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I don't care.
jordan holmes
Because it seems like because the GOP wouldn't have done anything.
dan friesen
No, not a chance.
jordan holmes
God damn it.
Imagine how because that's also the last time that he's really listened to anybody there either.
dan friesen
It seems like it.
jordan holmes
Yeah, like everybody was like, hey, you got to get rid of Flynn.
This is a bad idea.
We're getting a lot of bad press.
And it's non-stop from there.
And now anytime they're like, hey, Trump, don't do this.
He's like, I am dementia.
And then yells exactly the opposite.
dan friesen
Like the time you told me to get rid of Flynny, baby?
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
That didn't work.
jordan holmes
You think you're so smart?
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Oh, you think this travel ban shouldn't be called a travel ban?
Because then we'll win in court?
No, travel ban.
Do you know what it is?
It's the exact same thing I said it was on the campaign.
dan friesen
It's the exact same thing that every court has said is illegal.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
So this interview goes on a little bit longer, and Larry Elder, even though he supports Trump in this next clip, admits that Trump probably is just out for publicity.
alex jones
Well, I mean, I would certainly rather Donald Trump than a Hillary Clinton in there.
But in your gut, and I really respect your opinion on this, you don't think he's some type of ringer just getting political attention for his overall empire.
larry elder
Oh, I think it's all of the above.
I think that Donald Trump feels the worst thing that will happen is his name recognition will be even higher, and maybe he'll make even more money.
But I don't think he anticipated the fallout.
I don't think he anticipated that ESPN and NASCAR and Univision and NBC would dump him, and other people are also thinking about dumping him.
He may even lose clients in his condos.
Who knows?
But I think overall, what Donald Trump feels is the worst that will happen is my brand will be even bigger, but maybe I'll make some noise.
Maybe I'll make something happen.
And let's not discount the possibility that he's sincere.
He thinks the country is going to hell in a handbasket.
He thinks our foreign policy is weak.
He thinks our deals with the various other countries are weak, and he thinks the country is going down.
And he thinks he, as a business person, can do something about it.
I applaud the idea of him going off the grid for this tower and spending his time and his energy and his money trying to make the country better as opposed to making more money.
Why aren't people applauding that?
alex jones
I guess I have to say I applaud him because he is getting persecuted now and he's not backing down and he's not going to do the Miss America thing and he's going to focus on the campaign.
Again, though, Larry doesn't do underage with the other Republicans, what they should have been doing the whole time?
larry elder
It most certainly does.
The other Republicans are wusses, and that's one of the things that pisses people off.
jordan holmes
That's the first thing I wholeheartedly agree with him on.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's fair.
jordan holmes
Clearly with Trump in office and the other Republicans hating it and still not doing anything, they're a giant group of wusses.
dan friesen
Well, you see, Larry Elder is affecting Alex, and he's softening his perspective.
Absolutely.
Even though the conversation they're having is about how he's probably fucking around for publicity.
To the point where Larry Elder even says, let's not discount the possibility he's serious.
jordan holmes
Hey, let's not throw that away.
dan friesen
I know it's an outside chance, but let's maybe serious.
And Alex is like, yeah, we got to applaud it because he's putting his business things on the line, not realizing that he stands to gain so much from abusing the presidency.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
And he sure does.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
To the point where all of the, like, they are right about everything being a publicity stunt and an idea to make more money.
It just so happened that he got the presidency, so he's using it to generate more publicity and make more money.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
He's even got the Department of Justice arguing that he should be allowed to take money from whoever he wants.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
The Department of Justice in the United States is actively arguing, you know, that Constitution?
Not a fan.
dan friesen
I fucking.
jordan holmes
Ew, fake news.
dan friesen
While we're on this little Trump thing, I loved that moment from his press conference at the end of last week where he's with the Romanian president and they're talking about waivers, like visa waivers for Romanians.
And he's like, we didn't talk about it.
And the Romanian president's like, I brought it up.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Just like, what the fuck are we doing?
You just watch that clip alone.
jordan holmes
Like, ooh, no.
unidentified
Not good.
dan friesen
Take everything else away.
That's bad.
jordan holmes
That's very bad.
dan friesen
Yeah.
It's not good to trust a foreign leader.
I have no idea what he's up to.
Although my brother was born in Bucharest, so I have some relation to Romania.
jordan holmes
There you go.
dan friesen
Spend a tiny bit of time there as a young boy, and I remember it being miserable.
unidentified
But that was also back in the waivers for your visas.
dan friesen
It was in the late 80s, though.
So, I mean, that whole area is doing a lot better than back then necessarily.
Anyway, Larry Elder's not quite done.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
He's got to be involved in two more clips that are pretty offensive.
One is about Charleston, and then the other one's just about race.
This one is wild.
unidentified
No.
alex jones
I mean, isn't that the answer?
That he pulls that gun out, and somebody pulls a gun out and blows him away, and maybe only two people were dead.
Kim and maybe the first person he shot.
I mean, isn't that the answer?
Isn't it gun-free zones and an anti-gun culture?
unidentified
What?
alex jones
Really?
What ended up killing these people?
jordan holmes
Two casualties, your baseline.
alex jones
I don't know.
jordan holmes
Oh, I would rather have two people dead than no people dead.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Maybe if he didn't have a fucking gun, he wouldn't have been able to kill those people.
dan friesen
It's possible, but then you get into the argument he could have had a knife, you know, blah, blah, blah.
That's a stupid argument.
jordan holmes
It's a dumb argument.
dan friesen
But what's dumber is the idea that, like, okay, someone there, it's their fault because they didn't have a gun.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And further, it's society's fault for disarming churches.
And it's, you know, it's the anti-gun agenda's fault that these people died, not the person, not the white supremacist who actually did it.
No.
jordan holmes
It's the anti-gun agenda.
dan friesen
Keep that in mind because there's an interesting juxtaposition.
jordan holmes
Every time somebody gets shot by a gun, it's because the anti-gun agenda.
dan friesen
Not the white supremacist who's doing it.
unidentified
Uh-uh.
jordan holmes
Uh-uh.
dan friesen
But keep that in mind because the Charleston shooting happened two weeks before this, but there's a shooting in Chattanooga that happens a couple days after where we're at in the timeline now, and Alex treats it very differently.
jordan holmes
You know, I said that jokingly, and then I realized that's exactly what they believe.
Every time somebody gets shot, it's because we say you shouldn't have guns.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
That's genuinely their position.
That's how did we lose to these people, Dan?
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
These are the dumbest fucking people.
dan friesen
Speaking of dumb.
jordan holmes
It's unbelievable.
dan friesen
Speaking of dumb, listen to this clip.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Alex has some weird fucking thoughts about who's to blame for racism.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
alex jones
Well, it's really sad because up until Obama got elected, I saw a lot of racial harmony, people coming together.
It was just really refreshing.
And now I've never seen it so energized in my whole life, not growing up in the early 70s and stuff in the 80s.
And it just so See it.
dan friesen
Yeah, maybe you're blind.
jordan holmes
Maybe because you didn't have to deal with it.
Maybe, white people, one of the big reasons you don't understand racism is because it's not a thing you deal with.
dan friesen
It's not germane to your immediate experience.
jordan holmes
Yeah, so of course you think racism isn't a problem because it's not a problem for you.
dan friesen
You have to, you know, really expand your mind and try and relate to other people's experiences to understand just how insidious.
jordan holmes
You don't even have to really expand your mind.
You have to just look at a person and be like, hey, what did you experience?
And they tell you a thing and you're like, oh, that's probably true.
I should respect your experience instead of telling you what your life experience is is wrong.
dan friesen
No, because you tell me your life experience and then my response is, oh man, it sucks the globalists are doing that to you.
jordan holmes
It is.
It does suck the globalists are doing that to me.
dan friesen
It sucks, man.
So that's it for the 14th.
We see just a little bit of softening in Alex's position towards Trump.
And we move on to the 15th, which we're not going to cover because David Knight hosted.
But something important to remember is July 15th, 2015, was when Jade Helm 15 kicked off.
The old Jade Helm.
jordan holmes
Oh, the one that he said was real and then later told us was not real.
dan friesen
We don't really know if he said it was real per se.
We don't have audio evidence of that, so let's not make that claim.
jordan holmes
Fine.
Disappointing.
dan friesen
We have good reason to believe he did, but we can't prove it.
jordan holmes
If we can't prove it, then we can't.
But then I will retract that statement.
dan friesen
But we will see where his head is at a little bit later.
jordan holmes
Of course we will.
dan friesen
On the episode of July 16th, when Alex is back in studio.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
So Alex starts off the July 16th episode with a little bit of a tease that should scare everyone.
alex jones
I really spent some time watching Donald Trump's speeches and his interviews.
And coming up at the bottom of the hour, I'll give you my take on Donald Trump.
I've really done some soul searching on the subject, and I'll give you my take on whether I think he's a shill or not.
jordan holmes
Spoiler alert.
He still thinks he's a shill?
dan friesen
We'll see.
It comes a little later.
jordan holmes
Damn you.
dan friesen
It comes a little later in the episode.
jordan holmes
I was waiting for you to tell me.
dan friesen
So on this episode, Alex Jones has all over the goddamn place on the 16th.
It is a massive cluster fuck of weird narratives, strange things he says.
But one of them is Mark Dice has a new video.
We're not going to listen to it.
alex jones
Don't worry.
jordan holmes
Okay, thank you.
dan friesen
It's all the same shit.
jordan holmes
Thank you so much.
dan friesen
It's the exact same setup.
It's just him talking to people on a beach with a clipboard.
jordan holmes
Getting owned.
dan friesen
Yeah, basically.
This one is about how Mount Rushmore is racist.
jordan holmes
I actually agree with that very much.
dan friesen
Not entirely.
I mean, like Roosevelt's up there.
jordan holmes
No, I mean that they took American Native Lands and used it to build giant monuments to the very people who stole those American Native Lands.
unidentified
You know what?
dan friesen
Mark Dice doesn't wrestle with that.
jordan holmes
I strangely feel like I should have known.
dan friesen
So Mark Dice has gone out and done this video, and I wanted to play this clip just because it indicates, again, this insidious cycle that Alex Jones perpetuates, wherein he has one of his reporters go out, create some video that doesn't say what he pretends it says, drudge links to it, or it gets a link up somewhere, and then Alex Jones repeats it as news.
He's going to say that there's a headline, and the headline is that people are calling for the destruction of Mount Rushmore, which isn't happening.
It's entirely based on Mark Dice's video.
At the end of this clip, it's very short, but he says that this is news up top.
And then at the end, he says he told Mark Dice to go make this video.
So it's just a closed loop.
It's a completely nonsensical.
jordan holmes
Well, that's how Fox News operated almost from the very beginning.
Their trick was always to have their news people say, you know, a basic story.
Then their opinion people would be like, this is what is really happening.
And then the next day, the news would keep it in the cycle by saying, people are saying that what is happening.
dan friesen
Or a commentator.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
But it's people.
It's just people are saying.
We're reporting on what people are saying.
We're not verifying it or supporting it.
Just so happens that the people that said it are on our network, and we have a vested interest in making sure that you have their thoughts in your mind all the fucking time.
But people are saying it.
dan friesen
We're reporting on it.
So here's our reporting on what Alex Jones does.
alex jones
A new video: Obama supporters advocate tearing down racist Mount Rushmore.
We told you that was coming.
jordan holmes
Is it?
alex jones
In fact, I said a few weeks ago, reporters go out and call for tearing down Mount Rushmore.
Well, Mark Dice has done it.
dan friesen
So, I mean, wait, what?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
That's basically him saying, hey, go stage this thing.
jordan holmes
Go out and try and get us evidence for whatever narrative we want to support.
dan friesen
And then my prediction will have come true.
jordan holmes
I love that version of reporting.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's not.
It's quite literally fake news.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
But like when he says, I told you this is coming, he's not saying, I told you this video was going to be released.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
That's not the context he's saying.
He's saying that in much the same way he predicted that people would be calling for the American flag to be banned based on a Mark Dice video.
All of these things are things like I made these predictions and then I told my reporters to somehow justify my stupid fucking prediction.
jordan holmes
That's why he's 100% right all the time.
dan friesen
All the time.
jordan holmes
All the time.
dan friesen
You know what?
jordan holmes
He's not just you can predict everything so long as you make it happen.
dan friesen
So he's not just right all the time.
He's wrong all the time.
unidentified
Oh.
dan friesen
Now, this is going to get bad.
jordan holmes
It's going to get Mark Dicey.
dan friesen
Something else happened in July of 2015 that is really funny conceptually, but isn't funny at all.
And that is that the Center for Medical Progress went and made all those behind-the-scenes videos about Planned Parenthood people selling baby parts.
jordan holmes
That's right.
dan friesen
And I'm going to.
jordan holmes
The ones they're in jail for now, right?
dan friesen
They're not in jail yet, but they've been charged with 15 felonies.
Good.
I believe the sentencing is still to come and what have you.
jordan holmes
Oh, I hope it's so much jail.
dan friesen
They're in big trouble.
jordan holmes
I want a lot of jail.
dan friesen
They're in big trouble for this.
And I'll explain exactly why on the other end of it, but I want to really point out: Alex Jones fucking buys it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He is so into it.
He talks about it a little bit here, and then the entire show a couple days later is all about it.
jordan holmes
Well, it was an entire news cycle.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
All made up.
And that was all you heard.
That narrative being pushed to the point where now, just like Obama's a secret Muslim, the GOP still believes it.
They still believe that Planned Parenthood sells baby parts.
dan friesen
Yep.
Okay, I'll just explain it now.
jordan holmes
Even though the people who disseminated those videos are going to jail, they're still like, ah, no, that was true.
They're just being prosecuted because of the powers that be, or whatever fucking nonsense they want to lie about.
dan friesen
The guy who's behind the Center for Medical Progress is a guy named David Dadalin or Dale Dean.
Dale Den?
Who cares?
jordan holmes
I'm good.
dan friesen
His organization set up a fake.
jordan holmes
Jail Dean.
You know what I'm saying?
dan friesen
His organization.
unidentified
Get it?
dan friesen
I got it.
They set up a fake biomedical research company called Biomax Procurement Services.
Under this guise, they posed as potential buyers of aborted fetal tissue and organs and secretly recorded Planned Parenthood officials during meetings.
The Center for Medical Progress released edited versions of these videos, which it promoted as showing Planned Parenthood officials price haggling over baby parts.
When the full unedited videos became available, they instead showed a Planned Parenthood executive repeatedly saying its clients want to cover their costs, not make money when donating fetal tissue from abortions to scientific research.
According to the lawyer for Planned Parenthood, Roger K. Evans, Biomex proposed sham procurement contracts offering $1,600 for liver and thymus fetal tissues.
I went back and I watched all of these videos.
They are shamelessly edited to the point where anyone who doesn't have an agenda that this supports would be like, calm the fuck on.
It's so crazy.
And Alex is so into it.
He, like, I can't wait till we get to the 20th because that's when he really tees off on it.
But he is.
jordan holmes
So you can't wait so we can tee off on him, essentially.
Gotcha.
dan friesen
Also, the other thing that's important to point out is, you know, these guys, let me get these specifics here.
So they are, on March 28th, 2017, this Daleden and his cohort were charged with 15 felonies in the state of California, one for each of the people who they had filmed without consent, because they did not get consent.
jordan holmes
Oh, really?
Those hidden videos where they didn't get consent and edited heavily, making it seem like they were committing a crime?
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Yep.
And one for criminal conspiracy to invade privacy.
Now, the thing that is really important to note is that this is funny.
jordan holmes
Okay, good.
Now we're awesome.
Now I'm free and clear.
dan friesen
Everyone investigated their claims.
The Senate, the House, all these state governors, everyone investigated it.
And everyone cleared Planned Parenthood.
Everyone did investigations.
jordan holmes
You know who didn't clear Planned Parenthood?
dan friesen
The Center for Medical Progress?
jordan holmes
No, the fucking everybody.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Everybody who listened to it.
dan friesen
But this one's particularly funny.
On July 30th, 2015, Indiana Governor Mike Pence announced that the state's investigation did not find any evidence of wrongdoing in Planned Parenthood's handling of fetal tissue.
jordan holmes
If Mike Pence had to say that out loud, I bet his babies died.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, I mean, it's just, it's insane.
The number of investigations that were opened into it.
There were like select committees.
Jason Chaffetz, the chairman of the United States House Committee on Oversight and Governmental Affairs.
jordan holmes
Oh, that giant pussy?
dan friesen
On October 8th, 2015, he stated that a GOP investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing by Planned Parenthood.
Even people who are staunchly against Planned Parenthood are all like, fuck, there's nothing.
jordan holmes
And who did everything possible within that investigation to try and prove it so hard?
That was investigated so thoroughly for even the slight.
Because if there was even a slight bit, they would have been like, well, the entirety of the claim wasn't proven, but we did catch them on this, the Al Capone racketeering charge of Planned Parenthood, and they couldn't find fuck all.
dan friesen
So the exception is that there was a select committee in the United States House, the Committee on Energy and Commerce Select Investigation Panel on Planned Parenthood, was formed to further investigate Planned Parenthood, with Congresswoman Marcia Blackburn serving as the chairwoman.
jordan holmes
She sucks.
dan friesen
On September 21st, the panel voted 8-0 to recommend holding STEM Express, which was a business that did research and got tissue from Planned Parenthood, in contempt of Congress for failure to comply with a subpoena.
The six Democratic members on the panel walked out of the meeting in protest before the vote.
The committee's final report recommended that, quote, the National Institutes of Health be required to stop funding fetal tissue research and that the huge health provider Planned Parenthood be stripped of U.S. funding.
According to the publication Science, the report contained multiple inaccuracies.
Democratic members of the panel who had not been permitted to read, respond to, or vote on the final report released an alternate report in which they criticized the committee for relying on McCarthy-era tactics and of relying on unsourced, unverified documents and writing of the report.
So that's sort of some of the aftermath of this.
jordan holmes
How is this like I get that you don't you like not being disease-ridden?
dan friesen
It's nice.
jordan holmes
Dan, are you a big fan of that?
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Do you want to do you want to continue not being disease-ridden?
Right.
Now, you know, new diseases can happen.
dan friesen
It's true.
jordan holmes
Like, they can happen at any time.
dan friesen
Now they can evolve.
jordan holmes
Or, you know, like there might be genetic issues.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Don't you want to research this?
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
Don't you want to learn more about it?
Not just because you're fine now, but because maybe in the future there will be information that you want to have.
dan friesen
You're talking violence.
jordan holmes
Information that you can protect yourself with.
dan friesen
You don't play God.
jordan holmes
Don't you want to research on things that are already dead?
dan friesen
Don't play God.
jordan holmes
You can't.
You can't.
You can't praise a spirit and keep yourself from getting sick.
Why?
Can we just not give them science?
dan friesen
You know what the other thing?
jordan holmes
They don't get it.
dan friesen
You know what the other thing?
jordan holmes
You know what?
Eight-member panel?
You don't get any science from now on.
dan friesen
It's a 14-member panel.
Six of them walked out.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
All eight of you, you get no your phones gone.
TVs, gone.
You know what?
We didn't land on the moon because you're not allowed to believe that.
dan friesen
The true comedy of it, too, is in this video, there are people who, like, this guy is giving these high prices that they're going to pay for fetal tissue and stuff like that.
And pretty much across the board, the people are like, that's higher than we pay.
Like, they're haggling, but it's the reverse of what you would expect in haggling.
The person's coming too high because they're trying to make it look like there's a tissue scam going on.
unidentified
Right, right, right, right.
jordan holmes
They're trying to make money off of it.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
When in reality, it is like $50 for samples to credentialed and certified research science.
Of course.
jordan holmes
Because Planned Parenthood is so hated by the GOP for doing awful things like providing women and men and children with coverage and help and health, you know, that kind of a thing.
Making sure that we don't get not disease-ridden.
Right.
They hate them for that.
So Planned Parenthood is always under investigation.
It is always being scrutinized.
So of course, if you go and try and catch them do something, they have safeguard under safeguard under safeguard.
Like we will show not even the slightest bit.
We will give them no evidence so that even though when they close down those clinics, at the end of the day, we will have been within perfect understanding and compliance with the law.
dan friesen
Yep.
Well, the other thing is that.
jordan holmes
Because if they aren't, it's gone for good.
Every single one of them.
dan friesen
I agree.
The other thing is that, like, this is so indicative of what I talk about with propaganda and truth.
Like, this still people believe.
It's utter horseshit, and still people believe.
The damage is done.
You can explain away that, like, no, these people are manipulatively editing videos to say things they don't say.
These people have all been investigated by legitimate boards and cleared of any wrongdoing.
jordan holmes
And the people who made the videos are going to jail for it.
dan friesen
Most likely.
Or at least being fucking sued real hard.
Oh, yeah.
It doesn't matter.
The propaganda is too effective.
Now, let's get to the clips of Alex.
He has a couple clips about this on this episode on the 16th.
And one of the things that's really important to remember is all the people in the videos are women.
jordan holmes
So we're going to treat them with a lot of respect.
dan friesen
And dignity.
jordan holmes
I'm sure that there will be zero comments on their appearance.
dan friesen
No, there are, but I'm not sure if I kept any of those in because I actually think that there's something even more important that goes on.
And that is that Alex Jones is clearly using coded language to evoke classism.
I'll play these clips.
You'll know what I'm talking about.
It's very overt.
He does this a lot, but it's almost never this clear.
It's fascinating to me.
alex jones
Another important article, stone-cold proof that America deserves judgment.
And that's the breakdown of Planned Parenthood's stone-cold.
One of their major directors of an entire national program, Senior Director of Medical Services for the Federation of America Planned Parenthood.
jordan holmes
She was a very good person.
alex jones
Just talking about selling body parts and how they're trying to get around it to make more money.
dan friesen
That's not what they're doing.
alex jones
Sitting there drinking wine at an expensive restaurant.
Fine dining.
And again, this is a picture or a video that tells a million words of literally suffering paying for expensive wine and Italian food at an upscale restaurant with a paycheck from baby's body parts.
dan friesen
They don't get their paychecks from baby's body parts, but also, did you see how he kept it?
jordan holmes
Those fat cats.
dan friesen
The fine bottles of wine, the upscale dining.
jordan holmes
They are getting rich off of the tragedy of abortion.
Totally.
They're convincing susceptible young women.
And you know that's who we're really afraid of.
We're afraid that you're going to corrupt our young women.
We can't have you do that.
Next thing you know, they'll be sleeping with black men.
dan friesen
They're too dumb to know any better.
But anyway, this thread runs throughout his entire coverage of this video.
It's so dog whistly in terms of class.
jordan holmes
Which is frustrating because we have such a huge issue with class.
A huge issue with class to the point where, of course, it is resonant.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
It should resonate.
It should be.
dan friesen
But it's manipulative in this case.
jordan holmes
I want to eat the aborted tissue of the billionaire I ate.
Is that how that works?
dan friesen
I'm not sure.
jordan holmes
I don't know what my science was on that one.
But billionaires are fucking us over all the time.
dan friesen
If you did do that, you wouldn't be able to afford a nice bottle of wine, a fine bottle of wine.
jordan holmes
Oh, well, I would age the billionaire.
dan friesen
He's making so he makes so many assumptions about the video that he's talking about is a video where a lady is eating a salad.
I don't know if it's a classy establishment.
You really can't tell from the video.
And she is drinking a glass of wine.
jordan holmes
She's eating a salad?
Fucking bougie bullshit.
dan friesen
You don't know if this glass of wine is $7.
You have no fucking idea how much this costs.
That's not in the videos that he's going over.
jordan holmes
If it's not from a box, it's too rich for my blood.
dan friesen
I go, Carlo Rossi.
Pirate jug.
So here's him being more classism.
More classism about the Planned Parenthood videos.
alex jones
We played the video the last two days.
Maybe I should play it again.
And she smacks her lips and enjoys it and clearly gets off on talking about baby parts while she's slurping fine red wine.
dan friesen
But also, that's not indicative of the video at all.
There's no one getting off.
There's no one enjoying the idea of aborted babies at all.
It's just dealing with it as like, oh, there is a research use for this, this tissue that would be being thrown away that is completely legal for them to, first of all, take.
They have to get waivers from everybody, everybody who gets an abortion.
There's consent forms that they have to have filled out.
And some people don't.
Sign up.
And when they don't.
jordan holmes
There's three-day waiting periods and they're all this shit.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
And longer than you have to wait to get a gun.
dan friesen
Right.
Well, it's because.
jordan holmes
You can actually get same-day abortions at an abortion show.
There's a loophole in that law.
dan friesen
You can also get a Nazi abortion.
Free speech.
So there's two more clips, not of this, but there's two clips that are kind of fun.
And then we'll get into Alex's big reveal about his soul searching about Trump that's going to come.
Okay.
Like I said, this episode is really all over the place, the 16th.
He is in a strange headspace because this video is fucking him up, and he knows that I got to work on this.
But then he's also got a couple, he has an interview he's got to do later in the show, and then he gets a fucking huge curveball thrown at him right at the end.
And he's just sort of untethered.
He's all over the place.
jordan holmes
What's interesting to me is now that he mentions that, human sexuality being as diverse as it is, somebody does get off on the idea of fetal tissue, right?
dan friesen
Probably one of the Satanists who yells at him at an abortion.
jordan holmes
Anything we know about the most zealous anti-gay GOPers, generally they're the ones we find with rent boys.
dan friesen
Yeah, it doesn't seem to be.
jordan holmes
So I'm guessing, especially with all of our weird, perverted sexual fantasies that Alex has thrown in there and has been like, this is awful.
unidentified
And then he's like, just this young little girl just getting touched.
jordan holmes
Like that tone of voice.
dan friesen
Yes, he does do that.
jordan holmes
Oh, he jerks off to those videos.
dan friesen
It's possible.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
I'm not going to make that claim.
But I am going to make the claim very strongly that when Alex Jones is untethered, when he has no bearing, what ends up happening is often he ends up bragging.
jordan holmes
Yes, that's true.
dan friesen
This next clip.
jordan holmes
He jerks his own dick.
dan friesen
This is a fucking weird brag.
alex jones
No, they hate me.
They're a group of crooks.
dan friesen
The globalists.
alex jones
Stealing our freedom, running every scam you can imagine, selling off our infrastructure for pennies on the dollar.
I know their game plan.
I know their fraud.
I'm straight shooting.
They can't stand it.
And they are now assassinating me big time.
My name, who I am, ahead, because they've got actuaries.
They've got demographics.
They've got graphs.
jordan holmes
You don't know what an action is.
alex jones
They know we've hit the megazeitgeist.
I mean, it is expensive.
When I told the story last week about how I took my kids down to the hike and bike trail where there's a big luscious creek, Barton Creek, on the city-owned greenbelt, the pop.
dan friesen
Keep in mind, he just said, I told this story before.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's going to tell it again.
No, this bear is telling twice.
jordan holmes
He's got to fill time, man.
alex jones
This is my favorite giant city parks, basically.
40,000 acres of them, to be precise.
And there were like 30-something people standing around at the waterfall there in the creek.
jordan holmes
I was killed by my neighbor's owl.
alex jones
All of them were pointing at me saying that's Alex Jones.
All of them.
dan friesen
Yeah, of course.
alex jones
And about 10 or 15 of them came over.
Five years ago, maybe 10 of them would be staring at me and five would come over.
jordan holmes
I walked out of the thing.
Is that a bad thing?
alex jones
A few nights ago and was walking to get an Uber maybe 200 yards, and every group of people that walked past me downtown, every group said, that's Alex Jones.
dan friesen
Paranormal.
alex jones
Now, I don't know how we're reaching this many people.
We don't see the numbers on the website.
We don't see the numbers.
We see huge numbers, but nothing like this.
This show is loved all over the world now.
Governments listen to it because I'm just a straight shooter.
And we have a very accurate history.
And I can't believe I'm still alive.
Please pray for us, but they are assassinating us right now.
dan friesen
Very accurate history on the same show he pitches this fraudulent Planned Parenthood narrative.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's insane.
jordan holmes
Very accurate history.
dan friesen
Also, ooh, you're getting in a bougie Uber.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Ooh.
dan friesen
So, I mean, like.
jordan holmes
You're exploiting the underclass.
dan friesen
Well, but I mean, if he wants to play the game of like, ooh, this fancy bottle of wine, ooh, you're paying a poor person to drive you.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
Fuck you, Alex.
But like, I love, I love it because you can read between the lines what he's experiencing.
He's saying that, like, everyone's pointing at me and saying that's Alex Jones, which I believe is probably happening.
jordan holmes
Possibly happening.
dan friesen
Then he's like, we're not seeing these kind of numbers on the website because, of course, you're not.
People are aware of you at this point because of memes.
People are making fun of him.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And so when everyone's like, oh, fuck, it's Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
That's how they're saying it.
It's not like, oh, my God, there's the truth telling.
jordan holmes
He thinks he's in a hard day's night now.
That's what he thinks is going on.
He's walking down the street and young nubile women are screaming his name.
dan friesen
No, fuck that.
I think he thinks it's like John the Baptist or something like that.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
We're going even more delusional.
dan friesen
Yeah, I think he thinks people are like seeing him walk around like, I don't know, Jerusalem or whatever.
I don't remember exactly where John the Washington was.
jordan holmes
Wherever the fuck he was.
Who cares?
dan friesen
Judea?
unidentified
I don't know.
dan friesen
Anyway, he's walking around.
John the Baptist was like, oh my God, it's the baptizer.
It's the one who prophesied the coming of Christ.
That's what he thinks.
He thinks people are like, oh, my God, it's the guy who tells everyone the truth about the globalists.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
God.
dan friesen
Crazy.
jordan holmes
What a crazy world though.
dan friesen
Yeah.
But he actually gets to, a little bit later, explain why there's such a disconnect between his version of reality and everyone else's, which I'll play for you, and I'll see if you buy into it.
I don't know.
Maybe you will.
jordan holmes
I bet I do.
unidentified
I don't know.
jordan holmes
It's a pretty good idea.
I bet it's actually 100% accurate.
dan friesen
It's very sensible.
jordan holmes
I'm going to guess this.
alex jones
The reality of the globalist assault is so overwhelming, so mega-mass of evil, so completely given over to death that the average person can't even basically see it because it's so alien to their nature, to their fundamental nature of being good people.
dan friesen
So you can't see the globalists because they're too evil.
That's his explanation.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
That's really dumb.
jordan holmes
No, that makes perfect sense.
dan friesen
I can conceive of a lot of fucking evil shit.
I can imagine terrible plans.
jordan holmes
But you are awake, Dan.
You listen to Infowars.
dan friesen
That's true.
jordan holmes
See, this is the problem.
dan friesen
Even though I...
jordan holmes
Me, I can't conceive of the globalists.
I think it's insane.
I think it's too crazy.
It's too far beyond me because I am a generally good person.
I'm honest.
dan friesen
So also.
jordan holmes
I'm a straight shooter.
Governments listen to me.
dan friesen
This is as good a time as any for me to reveal that I've started reading the books that Alex talks about that are like the foundational pieces of his cosmology.
And like I've already read None Dare Call It a Conspiracy, and it's fucking stupid.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
It's absolute utter garbage and complete misunderstanding.
jordan holmes
Is it a fun read, though?
dan friesen
Nope.
jordan holmes
Aww.
dan friesen
It's not even that great.
jordan holmes
Very dry?
dan friesen
Yeah.
He also talks about Zbignu Brzezinski a lot.
And I've read most of the great chessboard.
jordan holmes
Was he like the Secretary of State for Carter?
dan friesen
Maybe.
jordan holmes
I want to say, yeah, it was Carter.
dan friesen
That's it.
jordan holmes
Well, one, only Carter would pick a non-white male American name.
dan friesen
He's white?
jordan holmes
No, I know, but his name is Zbignu.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's true.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
So I've read part of.
jordan holmes
Yeah, Reagan's picking Paul or Derek.
Reagan's not picking a Zabignu.
dan friesen
Zbignu Brzezinski.
I've read parts of The Great Chessboard, and I'll get to reading all of it eventually.
But Alex has complained a lot about the book, The Technotronic Era.
And it's interesting because it's not at all what he talks about.
jordan holmes
It's about the band?
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
It's about the Polyphonic Spree.
It predicts their coming.
It's actually called Between Two Ages, America's Place in the Technotronic Era.
And first of all, I fucking love the book from the jump because it opens with a Steppenwolf quote, which is my favorite book.
And I'm like, Zbignu, you kidding me?
All right.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
I'm not quite done with the book yet, and it could take a harsh turn in the last chapter.
But so far, what it's about is it was written back in the 60s, and it's about how technology is going to be super important in terms of modernization and the world.
jordan holmes
So he's off to a great start.
dan friesen
And a large chunk of the book is talking about how developing countries and the burgeoning markets, what have you, are going to have a really difficult time keeping up with the technology because in order to modernize, generally you need stability.
That's mostly.
It's not saying we need to keep them unstable so they won't develop.
jordan holmes
Like what Obama said.
dan friesen
What Alex thinks Obama said.
It's more lamenting the impossibility or the unlikelihood of countries even like India.
If you looked at it from the 60s, they didn't look like they had a very good chance of catching up with the rest of the world.
jordan holmes
And they're still struggling to catch up, but they're doing a lot better job of it than Zabignu could have predicted.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
But yeah, no, Zabignu, he just died recently.
Yeah, he did.
But yeah, by all the accounts that I've read, he was actually a pretty good dude.
dan friesen
And again, I haven't finished the book.
It could take a real hard turn.
But so far, I'm finding Alex probably doesn't understand what he's reading.
I think that there's probably, like you even mentioned earlier, there's schizoid tendencies where he thinks everyone's pointing at him, and maybe they are laughing at him, or maybe he imagines it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And in this case.
jordan holmes
And in his reality, it doesn't matter whether it's real or imagined.
To him, it is real.
dan friesen
And so he's reading this book, and he's like, oh, they're fucking with me.
He's reading the book.
I'm sure he's like, oh.
jordan holmes
This is the globalist plan, and I'm the one who can see it through this.
dan friesen
Because everyone else who reads this doesn't understand evil enough.
They can't conceive of the idea that he's writing about this sort of other weather-based technology.
jordan holmes
But it's in code.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
And he has to say that, you know, otherwise people would be like, what?
We got to tear him down.
But he's signaling to his other globalist co-horse.
This is our next way to, you know.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
And yeah, of course, well, fuck.
We wouldn't even get Godzilla for another 10 years or whatever.
dan friesen
No, the first one was like in the 50s.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's right.
It wasn't.
dan friesen
The one with Raymond Burr.
jordan holmes
I forgot about that.
dan friesen
No, the Raymond Burr one was the American remake of the original.
Yeah, because they had to make it more palatable, and we didn't need to be the bad guys.
jordan holmes
No, we can't be the bad guys.
dan friesen
So that's.
I apologize.
That was a little more extended than I intended it to be.
But I'm fascinated by reading all these texts of where does he get these ideas from and finding out they don't match up with what he's referencing.
jordan holmes
I love the promise of this podcast is you and I will get to laugh at Alex Jones.
dan friesen
In person.
jordan holmes
And instead, we got Zbignu Brzezinski's book.
And not clips of him reading it or anything like that.
You just giving us a rundown.
dan friesen
And I still haven't finished it yet.
jordan holmes
So policy walks out there.
Go ahead and look forward to the second half of the Zbigniew Brzezinski book report.
dan friesen
I fully cop to the fact that the next installment could be like, holy shit, he was right all along.
The odds of that are infinitesimal.
jordan holmes
Very low.
Very low.
dan friesen
There is an outside chance I will be reporting back.
Alex Jones is fucking right, you guys.
We have got to run.
But for now, it's time to get to the results of Alex Jones' soul searching.
Yes.
And I'm going to call this Hints of a Heel Turn.
unidentified
Ooh.
alex jones
So what do they do when Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.com and my reporters and writers and myself have been chronicling this for 20 years.
dan friesen
The globalists.
alex jones
And others before us.
Well, they just come out and they misrepresent what we're saying and what we're doing.
And they've done the same thing with Donald Trump.
Now, this weekend, and then throughout the week, I watched hours of Donald Trump videos on CNN, NBC, Fox News, the lengthy 20, 30-minute interviews he does.
jordan holmes
I did not read anything.
dan friesen
No, but I would also like to point out that if he's actually watching hours of the footage, then he has to have watched the interviews where he says kill terrorists' families.
He has to have watched the videos where he says we should have stolen oil from countries as war plunder.
He has to have watched all of the interviews where he says that Putin is a great guy, you know, talking about how great Putin is.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he's a great guy.
dan friesen
Alex Jones, now, by virtue of the fact that you've watched hours of those interviews, you have to be aware of those things.
And if you're okay with them, then you're okay with all that.
And that's not good for you.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, it's the same opportunism that gets us to where we are.
It is that whole idea of I will deal with, well, just the British election.
dan friesen
Hold off.
unidentified
Hold off.
dan friesen
Because we don't know where he's going to land on this yet.
jordan holmes
No, I know, but this is that signal.
Okay.
Wait.
Are you saying he's not going to land where we think he's going to land?
dan friesen
I don't know where he's going to land.
I haven't listened to this yet.
jordan holmes
Fuck you.
You son of a bitch.
dan friesen
I sincerely don't think it's going to go exactly the way you think.
jordan holmes
Okay, well, let's listen to this and then I'll see if my point is still valid.
unidentified
All right.
alex jones
And I went back and did research on Donald Trump.
He has supported assault weapons bans.
He has supported Democrats more than Republicans in the past.
He does own casinos, and I'm not judging him.
I'm a libertarian.
You can do that.
I don't think it should be illegal, but I have a right to say I think it's degenerate.
jordan holmes
You also said that.
alex jones
I'm not a gambler, so, you know, I mean, I've been to Vegas for video shoots before and gone to a roulette wheel, played some blackjack, won money, lost money.
jordan holmes
The last time he started talking about that, he was like, I've played some poker, but that's a whole different thing.
That's really the only gambling I do.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And now this time, yeah, I've been to Vegas and I played a lot of roulette.
dan friesen
And the last time he was like, people who run casinos are predators.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Trump is basically with a name like Trump, you don't get arrested with one like Genovese.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
He said that he's the front man for a consortium on the East Coast.
He's not really rich.
All of that stuff.
jordan holmes
But as a libertarian, it's his right to say that.
dan friesen
Yep.
So let's continue.
jordan holmes
And it's his right to then lie about it.
alex jones
Watching the people there totally enamored in a cult I thought was sick.
And knowing that I was being chumped, it's kind of like I smoke marijuana a couple times a year to actually see what the latest stuff does, because I like it.
unidentified
I love it.
alex jones
Because I can support it.
jordan holmes
It's fucking stupid.
alex jones
Well, the five or six times I've gambled was so I could experience it.
True experimentation.
And I can tell you, I don't like marijuana, and I don't like gambling.
That doesn't mean you should be thrown in jail for marijuana.
unidentified
It doesn't mean you should be stopping chocolate.
alex jones
But I'm kind of digressing here.
I've done deep research into Trump.
And I think he is a self-made person.
I think he's very articulate, very charismatic, very smart.
No.
Not everybody knows about 95% of what he has to say.
When he says, bomb the oil fields, that's common sense.
I said that a year and a half ago when they first took over.
I said, blow off the oil fields, fix them later.
But our government wants them to have those oil fields.
It's a proxy army of Saudi Arabia.
So, see, if Trump went further like Rand Paul and said that, then I would really support him.
Rand Paul is better, but Rand Paul should be turning up the heat and being a little more like Trump.
He should be, yeesh, quite frankly, as radical as Trump because Trump's not being radical.
And Gary Johnson, I want to get back on the show.
dan friesen
We'll get back to Gary Johnson in a second.
jordan holmes
So, our problem is basically Rand Paul isn't bigoted enough to be president.
dan friesen
Well, no, it's that Rand Paul isn't crazy enough publicly.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Trump isn't crazy enough in his position.
If you could just get both of those crazies together, then you'd have a conversation.
jordan holmes
Yeah, then we'd have the whole thing.
dan friesen
Meanwhile, let's remember a couple weeks ago, he was saying, I'm Rand Paul or Bust, maybe Ted Cruz.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So we're smoothing the way out.
dan friesen
But he's mad at Gary Johnson.
He's going to get into that.
alex jones
Former New Mexico governor.
He's probably been in the studio five, six times, probably been on 15 times.
And I really disagree with his political points.
He's trying to get saying that Trump is catering to racist.
In fact, we'll put the actual quote on screen because I'm.
He's appealing to racist voters, says former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson.
I don't want to have anything to do with it, Johnson.
It's embarrassing to me.
And you got Jeb Bush, everybody else saying the same thing.
Embarrassing to say the illegal aliens have a lot of hardcore criminals amongst them, and they're committing crimes, and Mexico is dumping its criminals on us.
That's what Cuba did.
That's what areas of Eastern Europe, it's a fact.
And again, it's this attack on reality.
So I'll say this: I'm going to give Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt.
jordan holmes
No.
alex jones
Because he hasn't backed off and he has lost some money and lost some TV shows over this.
jordan holmes
I don't understand why that's okay.
alex jones
He's got some money now.
He doesn't want to lose his country.
And it's good to see an old-fashioned, patriotic Yankee like Donald Trump, and a guy like that could unify this country.
The problem is, I don't trust him as far as I can throw him, but he's got to be given the benefit of the doubt because he's saying what the other Republicans won't.
So I'm going to stop attacking Donald Trump.
I've warned, but that said, he's better than anything else we see right now.
So what he's saying has to be supported and defended.
unidentified
Thank you for listening.
alex jones
It's more important than the man.
It's the idea.
But I think he's going to betray us.
That's what my gut tells me.
Spotty's never wrong.
dan friesen
That's so convoluted.
jordan holmes
Maybe his gut was right this time.
dan friesen
Yeah, maybe.
But like, isn't that wild?
jordan holmes
That's Alex's out.
That's his out.
dan friesen
But he can't play it now.
jordan holmes
Oh, he could totally play it now.
unidentified
If he listens to our show, he knew it the whole time.
jordan holmes
He can play that.
He can be like, listen, I got betrayed.
dan friesen
I got seduced by the crazy.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, his ideas were right, but he's not following through on those ideas.
I told you guys at the beginning, my gut told me that he was going to betray us because he's a secret Democrat and all of this shit.
He's got the move.
He's got the move.
Trump is a globalist.
dan friesen
I legitimately think that he's too far to do that.
After, what was it, the middle of January, early February, where he said, I would die for Trump.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that one's trouble.
dan friesen
I think he's gone too far.
He can't play that card now.
But that statement is fucked up.
Because he's like, I listened to all these videos, which should have made him be like, whoa, this guy's nuts.
Instead, he's like, oh, he's crazy, but I like that crazy.
All right.
Look, I know he's mobbed up.
I know all this bad shit about him.
I'm going to stop attacking him.
I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.
And then, Biddy's probably going to betray us.
jordan holmes
You can't say, I don't trust him as far as I can throw him, but I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.
dan friesen
Trust, but verify.
jordan holmes
That's not a good idea.
dan friesen
It's not.
jordan holmes
You shouldn't.
Don't give.
Look, if you don't trust people, don't give them the benefit of the doubt.
dan friesen
They're usually going to screw you up.
jordan holmes
Because that's how you get murdered.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Hey, I don't trust you in that car.
You seem creepy, but you did offer me a ride.
My gut tells me you're going to murder me.
But I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt.
dan friesen
It's not necessarily in this case how you get murdered, but it is how you lose your Google ads.
It's definitely that.
So Alex now is at this point where he's said a whole bunch of stuff about Trump up till this point.
Now he makes this proclamation and he stops talking about Trump.
jordan holmes
I think that was my prediction from the beginning.
It's the first debate whenever those guys start dropping out.
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
And Trump pulls the super male vitality moves.
Standing in the middle, just sitting there, you're a prick.
I hate you.
You know, like that kind of bullshit.
dan friesen
Write down Supermale Vitality because we're going to get back to it.
jordan holmes
Do I need to write it down?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Because it's stamped all over my heart.
dan friesen
You do, because we're going to get back to it at the end of this episode in a very weird way.
jordan holmes
Is there any other way to get back to Supermale Vitality?
dan friesen
Nope.
So throughout the rest of this episode that we're going to be going over, up until July 21st, I believe, is where we cut off.
He doesn't really talk about Trump much at all.
jordan holmes
What is he talking about then?
dan friesen
We're going to get into it.
jordan holmes
Because it seems like, especially at that time, whenever Trump was rising through and everybody was shocked by it, that's all everybody was talking about.
dan friesen
Well, he talks, he has an interview with Jerome Courcy at one point, which is really boring.
And Jerome Corsi says maybe he's real this time.
So there's that.
They talked about that.
I didn't pull a clip of that because it doesn't matter.
jordan holmes
They're so fucking stupid.
dan friesen
Around the 19th or 20th, somewhere in there, was when Trump made the claims about John McCain, when he's like, I like heroes who don't get captured.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
That sort of shit.
And Alex, his response to that is, didn't go far enough.
Because Alex believes that, I'll use his quote, John McCain was a trustee at the Hanoi Hilton.
He makes the claim that John McCain was never tortured and, in fact, was given pleasure women and fancy meals at the Hanoi Hilton.
What?
Yeah.
He says it's mainstream news.
jordan holmes
So what you're saying, what Alex is saying is that the reason John can't raise his arms above his head is he got fucked too hard.
dan friesen
He blew out his oblique.
jordan holmes
He got fucked so hard he's paralyzed now.
That's what we're saying?
dan friesen
Yeah.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
I did try and look into that and I can't find any verification of that.
I did find an article on WorldNet Daily, but it had no sourcing, no references at all.
I found one article that I don't know if I can trust or not that purported to be from somebody who was captured along the same time as him.
And it doesn't say that he wasn't tortured.
It was just saying that.
jordan holmes
Maybe he exaggerated his story, that kind of a thing.
dan friesen
And that there were a lot of people who were there, and his experience is no more severe than any one of the other.
jordan holmes
Which is the point.
dan friesen
And I think that even John McCain would own up to that.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I think he has.
jordan holmes
He was like, hey, we were in a fucking torture camp.
Everybody got tortured.
dan friesen
So that's where Alex stands on Trump.
Now, this is fun because immediately after this on the episode, he has an interview with Jesse Ventura.
Ventura comes back, and they talk some more bullshit about his case.
But I've just decided to cut all of that out because in this clip, Jesse Ventura talks some fucking hard truth about Trump.
jordan holmes
Oh, really?
dan friesen
That is nice, and Alex can't really handle it.
alex jones
Oh, boy.
jordan holmes
And it starts to give you the indication that now is whenever he's starting to turn Trump into his boy.
dan friesen
He's starting to feel the need to defend him, but he can't.
Especially not to Jesse Ventura.
Right.
Because Jesse Ventura makes sense.
alex jones
So elaborate on where you stand on the Donald Trump situation.
jesse ventura
Well, first of all, you know, if Mexicans come up here illegals and get on our welfare system, if indeed they do that, then blame the people who created a system that allows that to happen, which is your Democrats and Republicans.
jordan holmes
Wow, that's true.
jesse ventura
If they are able to do that, and I don't know if they are or not, but if they're able to do that, blame the system that allows it to happen instead of blaming the poor person.
Second of all, I get irritated because I'm off the grid down there.
I live 900 miles in Mexico.
And whenever somebody with the statute of Donald Trump makes a statement like he has, believe me, we as Americans down there feel the repercussions of that.
All of a sudden, Mexican people stare at us.
All of a sudden, you know, hassles start happening.
Maybe the federales pull you over more, whatever it might be.
But it does nobody any good because what Donald Trump is saying does nothing but anger Mexican people because you can't paint them in a broad brush.
Certainly there's criminals in Mexico just like there are criminals here.
unidentified
We ought to quite understand we have more people in jail than any other country in the world.
alex jones
Sure.
jesse ventura
So therefore, don't we have the most criminals?
alex jones
Well, Jesse, I mean, I agree with your point that we shouldn't blame the TSA.
We should blame our Congress.
dan friesen
That's not the point that Jesse made.
jordan holmes
That is definitely not the point that he just made.
dan friesen
Alex can't at all wrestle with the point that he just made, which is completely fucking valid.
So he's like, oh, yeah, don't blame the TSA.
That was not what he said.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
He said, don't blame the immigrants who are exploiting the system.
jordan holmes
Blame the system.
dan friesen
That's the system.
jordan holmes
Don't blame poor people for trying to not be poor.
dan friesen
For fighting for their lives, more or less.
Through nonviolent means.
So Alex interprets that that way.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
And that's his response.
And then Jesse.
jordan holmes
Now, here's my question to you.
How are we coming down on that?
Because is that Alex understanding the point and then deliberately misleading?
Or is that Alex absolutely incapable of listening to another human being talk for any length of time?
dan friesen
I think it's the prior.
jordan holmes
You think so?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You think he fully gets that and then he just can't allow that to be in like.
dan friesen
Well, because I mean, even Jesse's point that he made there is like they have criminals there just like we have criminals here.
We incarcerate the most people in the world, so therefore don't we have the most criminals?
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Which you can't argue with if you're Alex.
So he has to change the argument that's being had.
Right.
It's a classic debate tactic.
I mean, it's minorly gaslighting somebody.
jordan holmes
Well, absolutely.
dan friesen
But at the same time, it's just manipulative.
jordan holmes
What's even worse is the idea of agreeing with somebody on something they didn't say so you can move on.
dan friesen
I really hate that Jesse doesn't call him out on it because clearly Jesse has the kind of status with Alex that he could do that.
He doesn't, but he makes another great point.
alex jones
For doing it.
And then Congress sits around criticizing the TSA when they shut it up and control it.
So I totally agree with you.
I get your point.
That said, I don't trust Donald Trump because he supported assault weapons bans, gave money to Hillary Clinton.
But I've actually watched his full speeches, and he said they're not sending their good people that have money in many cases that are illegals.
He says a lot of them are criminals fling justice.
Then the media said Donald Trump says Mexicans are crooks.
So I think some of that is the media spinning things to make it worse.
jesse ventura
Well, that may be true, too, because, you know, as we both know, the media is in the entertainment business, and the more entertainment and spin they can throw on anything, sells copy.
You know, look at the trash they give us on TV and make us focus on things that are completely irrelevant.
alex jones
I agree with just real quick.
You personally have seen a backlash in the last month and a half from this Trump thing.
jesse ventura
Have I, well, have I personally, to be a backlash, no other than people know that I know Donald and they'll ask me and I just say, look, I don't answer for Donald, but I think what he's saying is utterly preposterous and stupid.
I said that, you know, to state what he states.
I said, I don't think I care to have a president that would say things like that about people of another country.
You know, that's not very good diplomacy, in my opinion.
alex jones
No, I hear your point overall.
The problem is, you're in the nice area of the Maja.
A lot of Mexico has collapsed.
jordan holmes
Do you?
alex jones
And so that is a larger problem.
I wish Mexico well, but do you, Alex?
dan friesen
So, but you hear that?
Like, Jesse just made some great points.
And also, another thing that's really interesting to point out that they don't get into is that Alex is also in the entertainment business.
jordan holmes
I was going to say, like, there might as well have been a giant sign directly above Alex Jones saying, I'm entertaining.
Like, it's.
dan friesen
This is about you.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
But then his way of getting out of the first thing that Jesse says is to pretend it's about the TSA.
unidentified
Right, yeah.
dan friesen
And then the way of getting out of the second point that he makes is to say, you know, you live in a nice area.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
You're not experiencing the Mexico that Donald is talking about, so you wouldn't know.
dan friesen
Most of the time.
jordan holmes
So even though I trust you, listen, you're wrong on this one.
But I'm not going to say it like you're wrong.
I'm just going to be like, hey, you wouldn't know.
It's almost like I am saying because you don't have that personal experience, you perhaps don't understand the entirety of their experience.
dan friesen
Well, Jesse can't conceive of the evil of globalists, apparently.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Even though he's been the governor of a state.
jordan holmes
Globalist governor of the state.
dan friesen
Maybe.
jordan holmes
Maybe he got kicked out by the globalists.
dan friesen
But that's like that right there is why we still like Jesse Ventura.
Like, he has problems.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
He's not always right.
He clearly was fucking around with that lawsuit stuff.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He was misleading people, but he can come with stuff like that.
Or it's like, hey, good call, man.
jordan holmes
That was pretty much right on.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And you know what?
I haven't even heard.
I don't think I'd ever ever, or I don't, I don't think I've ever heard somebody make that very simple logical argument there, which is we imprison the most people, so we have the most criminals.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's your argument.
If you're worried about criminals, you don't want Americans coming to your place.
dan friesen
No, and then sort of a secondary aspect of that argument.
jordan holmes
Which is always true.
You don't want Americans coming anywhere near white people.
dan friesen
Unless you're France.
And then you want our scientists.
jordan holmes
Yes, take our scientists.
dan friesen
The secondary aspect of that argument, too, if you really want to go with it, is that we have people in prison for bullshit charges.
So even the definition of what a criminal is is kind of stupid.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
And the idea, the other thing about that is once that's the brand now.
It's not you committed a crime, it's that you're a criminal and you're always a criminal.
You're always going to be a criminal.
And even if you're escaping your life where you were a criminal because, I don't know, one of the Mexican cartels had you and the only way to get out of there was by running away.
Otherwise, they were going to murder you.
You committed a crime, so you're always, you're never entitled to do your best to not be a criminal.
dan friesen
Once you're a jet, you're a jet all the way.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
So this next clip is really weird.
Alex is kind of mad that people are, like these insurers and hospitals are refusing to treat veterans, but they'll treat illegal immigrants.
Oh, boy.
And so he has a weird fucking theory about it that even internally doesn't make sense.
Okay.
Like even the words he's saying, if you grant that the beginning of it is true, the middle can't.
Oh, I don't just listen to this.
alex jones
Oh, but if you're illegal, you get the surgery or you get to have your baby for free.
And we're not against these people, but why is it free for them and not for the vets who've earned it?
Because the vets are already here and they're done with you.
They want new people because we aborted 50-plus million of our kids.
So we do need new people here so Social Security doesn't collapse.
But they're not even doing that.
They're already raided Social Security.
unidentified
That's true.
alex jones
I mean, these are facts.
jordan holmes
So he thinks he thinks a fact is that we're paying for illegal immigrants' babies to be born in the United States because we've accidentally aborted too many of our own babies.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
And so the only way for Social Security to prop up is by illegal immigrants' babies.
But we need to kick those babies out.
dan friesen
But we've also already raided Social Security.
It's so convoluted.
It's so insane.
I don't even know where to poke it.
It's like a weird blob that I'm just like, I know I got to poke it.
jordan holmes
I mean, veterans are not treated well.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
That's a big problem.
dan friesen
Certainly.
jordan holmes
Why are you not focused on them?
Why is your anger just like the Jesse Ventura thing?
We have the most criminals, so let's blame the system.
Don't blame the poor people.
Don't blame the illegal immigrant who has to have her baby here because she can't afford it anywhere else.
Blame the system that is keeping the veterans from getting coverage and keeping the veterans from being helpless.
dan friesen
Might be a good plan.
jordan holmes
Why wouldn't you do that?
dan friesen
I want to take a moment to give Alex some credit because even though he does do it in dumb ways that rely on globalists and shit, he does speak a lot about how veterans aren't treated well.
And he has a good point there.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
No, that's absolutely true.
dan friesen
Now, the idea that it's some sort of elaborate plot by evil globalists is stupid.
It is just.
jordan holmes
What is it?
Everybody wants the veterans to be taken care of.
Nobody wants to pay for veterans to be taken care of.
dan friesen
Right, right.
jordan holmes
Everybody wants health care.
Nobody wants to pay for health care.
dan friesen
Right.
It's the budgeting is so much on the front end as opposed to the back end.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
It's all we pay for the war, but we won't pay to take care of people.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
And that's not a globalist plot.
That's just people in Congress being fucking stupid.
jordan holmes
Yeah, and that's the way every military has always worked.
Every standing military, generally speaking.
Now, we want you to fight.
We don't give a fuck once you're done there.
dan friesen
Jordan, I told you earlier that the show was going to end with a curveball.
jordan holmes
Is it going to end with a curveball?
dan friesen
Jade Helm started the day before this.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
Now, Alex Jones has a statement he wants to make about Jade Helm.
jordan holmes
He throws it in the middle of the middle.
alex jones
They've been caught long, so they've tripled and quadrupled and quintupled and infinited down with lies.
And so now, as I told you, I said when Jade Helm starts the 15th, you are going to see them everywhere say the laughable nut Alex has been discredited.
Jade Helm was not martial law.
Nothing happened.
When we never said it was going to do that, it was further conditioning.
And they will just sit there and assault their audience with fraud.
dan friesen
Now, I can't prove what he did or did not say in the past.
I can't do that because I'm not going back through more episodes than I need to.
jordan holmes
I'm listening.
dan friesen
We may do that investigation sometime down the line.
But it would be hard for me to pinpoint when he started talking about Jade Helm.
It would be very difficult to get the timeline on.
But what I can do is tell you that at the end of this episode, he gets a caller from Alabama who.
jordan holmes
We're already off to a great start.
I love random InfoWars callers from Alabama.
I'm sure there's a lot of insight coming from there.
dan friesen
So Alex on this very show has said that people are going to lie and say that Jade Helm, I say that Jade Helm is somehow real and people taking over.
jordan holmes
Right.
And they're and they're doing that on purpose.
They're conditioning you to believe that it's never going to be martial law.
And then whenever it's not this time, they can turn me into the boy who cried wolf.
And that means that you'll be even more of a sheep the next time.
That means you'll be ready.
You'll be primed whenever they're going to do it.
dan friesen
Now, one very important thing to keep in mind for those of you who didn't keep up with Jade Helm conspiracy theories.
One of the big things that the internet was going wild on is claiming that there were a bunch of Walmarts that had been closed down and there were secret tunnels for military and UN forces to go under.
That they were going to use them as like depot points because they're giant buildings and they're inconspicuous when they're closed.
So all of these Walmarts had closed down.
They're like, oh, fuck, they're using them.
There's tunnels there.
So that was a big part of that stuff.
jordan holmes
That's one of those things that if you're a conspiracy theorist, seems like a great plan.
You're like, oh, that's genius.
I know how genius that is.
But then if you're actually trying to do it logistically, you're like, this is a dumb fucking plan.
We have roads.
We can just use roads.
dan friesen
I can only come out of in or out of these tunnels at a Walmart.
jordan holmes
Yeah, why would we do that?
dan friesen
So now the reason that I bring that up is because Walmart will play into this caller.
And let's see how Alex responds to this caller.
alex jones
Now, John in Alabama, finish your point.
You said you're there in Alabama outside the airbase and there's just troops suddenly with name tags off everywhere.
Yeah, that's what's happening.
That's part of Jade Helm that is in Alabama.
They expanded it to Alabama.
It was seven states.
It's now 10.
And it's just, I mean, I see it myself.
I couldn't wreck and get video of it, but I was in San Marcus yesterday doing an investigation that we're working on, and I saw a black gim rap driving the other side of the road.
And then I saw Homeland Security people in blue uniforms walking out of a gas station when I was getting gas.
And they knew what it was, by the way.
And saw me and kind of did like this and got in their vehicle.
jordan holmes
Getting into a lot of details for him to be telling the truth on this one.
dan friesen
Also, he said that he couldn't get a video of that car on the road without crashing.
You could have taken a picture of these guys at a gas station.
That would have been simple enough, Alex.
You want to just, you were stationary.
It would be no problem.
jordan holmes
Homeland Security in blue uniforms is the beginning of any lie.
Anytime, if there's a color involved, he's making it up.
dan friesen
Yep.
Well, let's see.
alex jones
I'm not kidding.
I mean, I mean, as soon as I looked over the gas thing and these people were getting their car, it was two older guys with short beards.
They just went, God, that's Alex Jones.
We are just overrun with DHS.
So tell us what you saw in Walmart.
john in alabama
Okay, I've always been the type of guy, mind my own business, you know, until all this stuff started happening.
alex jones
I get it.
I get it.
You're just a regular guy.
What'd you say?
john in alabama
And it affects me as an American citizen.
And, you know, I was raised on patriotic beliefs to stand for and uphold the Constitution because all the men in my family were in the military.
And I'm in Walmart the other night down here.
It was real close to 1 o'clock in the morning if it wasn't 1 o'clock in the morning.
alex jones
Okay, fine.
john in alabama
What'd you see?
I'm walking through there and I see these two guys in black suits and they've got other guys around them.
They're talking to a Walmart manager.
dan friesen
Now, hold on.
jordan holmes
Two guys in black suits talking to a manager.
Clearly something nefarious.
dan friesen
Two guys in black suits.
I'm thinking it's the men in black.
Call me biased.
But when I see the black suits coming, I nod my head.
Black suits coming.
Nod your head.
That's the theme for men in black, too.
jordan holmes
I know.
dan friesen
All right.
john in alabama
And I walk past and people could tell me I'm crazy and full of crap, whatever.
Like I tried to take a picture and it took my phone.
They had UN badges on their lapels.
The little globe with the leaves.
The same thing on their flag was on their lapels.
They had ID badges at Fort Rooker.
UN personnel.
Like, they are here in America, man.
They don't want anybody to know.
As soon as I tried to take a picture of the guy, I was tackled to the ground by what I'm assuming is his bodyguards, arrested by the city police, and my phone was taken, and they still haven't given it.
alex jones
All right.
Okay, if this is true, and I believe you, look out.
We're going to jump on an airplane right now.
I want you to put you on hold.
I want you to scan whatever email, the arrest, the paperwork.
And we will send reporters up there because, you know, that is just outrageous.
And, sir, there are UN troops all over the place.
They have Russian troops.
And I heard about this year before it was confirmed.
Training to take on domestic groups.
It's all part of secret treaties.
And the treaties are breaking up right now.
But yes, they have Russian troops training at secret bases in Denver and Colorado Springs.
Space Machine came out made.
They made it secret to take on domestic groups.
So it's a global government.
It's State Department Memorandum 7277.
Freedom from war.
dan friesen
So I looked that up.
I read.
jordan holmes
Wait.
Here's the bigger question.
How does he know the secret treaties?
dan friesen
Right.
That are breaking up.
jordan holmes
That's my favorite.
The secret treaties.
You know the secret treaties.
dan friesen
Of course.
They're in the white papers.
jordan holmes
How does he know they're breaking up?
dan friesen
That's in the white papers, too.
jordan holmes
But why would they be breaking up if everything's still going fine?
dan friesen
I don't know.
It's so stupid.
jordan holmes
Why throw that little the secret treaties, which are breaking up?
You could have just said the secret treaties.
Then you would have been fine.
You've already made up enough lies, Alex.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You don't need to further compound it.
dan friesen
Take a break.
So I looked up the memorandum that he was talking about, the Freedom from War State Department Memorandum 7277.
jordan holmes
77749er.
dan friesen
It was written in September of 1961.
And it is the Freedom from War, the United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament for a Peaceful World.
So it's mostly in concern about the rapid growth of post-nuclear weapons.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
The insanely rapid growth.
dan friesen
So they want whoever wrote this, the people who were behind this memorandum, by the way, memorandum, not a law.
jordan holmes
Nope, binding.
Agenda 217727.
dan friesen
You know what memorandum shortens to?
unidentified
Memo.
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's a note.
unidentified
It's a little note.
dan friesen
It's a note.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's not binding.
jordan holmes
7277.
dan friesen
So this is basically aspiring towards disarmament.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And it is, if you're crazy, it looks bad because it does talk about how the end goal is getting rid of armies in every country.
jordan holmes
Isn't that the end goal?
dan friesen
I think it is.
jordan holmes
Shouldn't that be the end goal?
dan friesen
I think it is.
jordan holmes
Don't we want to become a type one civilization?
dan friesen
It would be nice.
jordan holmes
Wouldn't that be better for everybody?
dan friesen
But the primary piece of it is nuclear disarmament.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
It's talking about these technologies that are completely capable of destroying the entire world, setting us off on a trajectory that we don't even know what it would lead to.
That's the first step of it.
And then eventually gradual disarmament of armies and creating peacekeeping organizations that will be involved with mitigating crises and conflicts between states could be hashed out as opposed to war.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
It's idealistic as fuck.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
But the one thing that's really important about it is it doesn't talk about UN forces hanging out, Russian secret training or anything like that.
jordan holmes
And further in secret memo 207277.
dan friesen
The first part of it is not achieved.
You know what I'm saying?
A lot of people still have nukes.
So like even Beginning pieces of it haven't been successfully implemented.
It's like his fear of that Cloud and Piven plan that he brings up over and over again.
It's like that wasn't implemented.
Someone wrote about it.
Some professor wrote that, like, oh, hey, if we overwhelmed the welfare system, people would have to take it more seriously.
jordan holmes
It's fiction.
It's like he's like he's saying, you know, Aldous Huxley, he's the one who knew.
That's what we're living in now.
dan friesen
I think he would say that.
jordan holmes
I think he would say that too.
Yeah.
But that's the point.
It's all speculative fiction.
That's the issue that he just can't discern what is.
Do you ever stop and think, like, oh, we created all of the weapons necessary to kill all of us?
And we just have them lying around.
dan friesen
And we have for a long time.
jordan holmes
Getting old.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Like, there are still nuclear weapon systems that use floppy disks.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
And we're just fine with that.
We're just like, yeah, this is great.
I'm sure that'll never be a problem.
dan friesen
It's absolutely insane.
jordan holmes
It's insane.
And the idea that you wouldn't be on board with just a vague, just like, hey, maybe let's try and get to a point where we're not always on the edge of global destruction.
dan friesen
I'd need to study this memorandum a little closer in order to have like an assessment on it.
But just from my read of it, my once-through reading, I would say it is a great goal, but it is way too idealistic to work in reality.
But yeah, I don't or in the near future.
In a general sense, taking the memorandum out of it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah, absolutely.
Why wouldn't you want war to stop?
What vested interest, other than making money, do people have in war continuing?
jordan holmes
Population control.
unidentified
Oh.
jordan holmes
There you go.
Dominance.
dan friesen
So anyway.
jordan holmes
Good cultures versus bad cultures, Dan.
We don't start wars for any other reason than to make their culture better.
dan friesen
Nationalism, prosperity.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's what it's about.
Second Amendment.
Second Amendment.
Private property.
dan friesen
Alex puts him on hold.
And then he has an interview that's really boring with Jerome Coursey.
jordan holmes
Then we get him back.
Also, whenever he was like, scan the paperwork, I was like, oh, we're not going to hear from this fella again.
dan friesen
I'm going to confirm that at least as of July 22nd, this has not come back up.
No.
And I guarantee it doesn't ever.
Yeah.
But he does come back after the Jerome Coursey interview, and shit gets real.
alex jones
Now, John in Alabama, thank you for holding.
If folks just joined us, you should be doing well.
You live in Alabama outside an airbase, and you're in there at Walmart at 1 in the morning a few days ago, and they grab you, take you to jail, but don't charge you, and say, come back later.
I've seen that with demonstrators before.
And you were there, and there were guys with UN name tags with a guy in a black uniform, and they tackled you, and the police came and took you to jail.
jordan holmes
Not necessarily.
alex jones
Amazing.
And if this is true.
jordan holmes
Which it isn't.
alex jones
It's incredible.
What else can you tell us about this?
What did the police say to you in the squad car?
Was anything else said to you?
john in alabama
Well, Alex, I don't know about how censorship is on your show, so I'm pretty sure I can't quote them verbatim.
But in a nutshell, they told me that I asked up by wanting to get picture happy with my iPhone.
And, you know, I told him I was just, I mean, I could be wrong, but I just, I told them I was exercising my First Amendment right.
Freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of assembly.
And they didn't care.
Like, my iPhone is probably no more.
alex jones
Wait, they didn't even give you your iPhone?
They didn't give you your phone back?
john in alabama
No, no.
When I left the city jail, they told me that I could pick my iPhone up when I picked my paperwork up.
unidentified
And, you know, I've, you know, like I said earlier, you went to break earlier.
john in alabama
I've been arrested a few times.
I know the ins and outs.
You're supposed to be formally charged.
You're supposed to get paperwork as soon as you get kicked loose, whether it's you have to pay to get out or you get a recognized bond, a property bond, what have you, and they give you your property back.
alex jones
Well, sir, here's the deal.
I would call the local media and I would say, troops stole my iPhone at the Walmart.
They won't give it back.
That's a news story.
And if they won't cover it, we'll come up there.
And I'll go in there with a video camera to the police department and say, give them his iPhone back and let them try to arrest me.
That's fine if they do.
But I believe you.
I've had similar things happen to me.
This is incredible.
Describe these UN troops for us.
How were they dressed?
What the uniforms look like.
Where were they in the Walmart?
Break it down for us.
john in alabama
Okay, the men that I saw in the Walmart, the gentlemen that I'm presuming are bodyguards because they're the ones that pulled what I'm assuming is Glock 17s because that's standard issue sidearm.
alex jones
Oh, wait, they pulled firearms on you?
jordan holmes
I really don't know.
john in alabama
Yes, yes.
They drew down on me in Walmart while two of them, there was a total of six.
Four of them drew down on me and covered me while two of them took me to the ground.
alex jones
Well, that's unprecedented.
Armed troops pulled a gun on you.
john in alabama
Armed in plain clothes, and I'm assuming that they were protecting the two men in the suits with the badges on their lapel.
And like, I didn't mean them any harm.
alex jones
You know, I mean, I understand it was some type of diplomats or something that think they're God.
Yeah.
So what happened next?
jordan holmes
Or they're just on the throat.
They're on the morning.
john in alabama
No resistance at all because I'm.
alex jones
We're almost out of time.
What else happened?
What else happened?
john in alabama
Okay, well, you know, they detained me and held me on the ground.
One of them had a knee in my back, holding both my hands behind my back, and I let it go on.
And then the city police arrived, and they carted me off to jail.
And, you know, I got down a couple hours later on what they said was a recognized bond.
You know, in good faith, I'll show you.
alex jones
Brother, here's the deal.
I'm going to send a reporter up there.
I believe you.
We need to go back to Walmart, recreate it.
We need to go to the police department.
This is huge.
Armed UN forces tackling and then robbing a citizen's iPhone and taking them to jail.
dan friesen
This is not the behavior of someone who doesn't believe Jade Helm is real.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
This is the behavior of someone who's looking for a way to believe it's real, but knowing without concrete evidence, he's going to be made fun of.
So he gets this hillbilly collar on the air that's clearly lying to him.
jordan holmes
Just beautifully lying.
dan friesen
Here's what I would say.
Something is missing from that.
jordan holmes
Especially because the number of people involved keep going up.
dan friesen
It does change a little bit.
jordan holmes
I saw two guys in black suits.
dan friesen
Talking to the man.
jordan holmes
Oh, there were bodyguards.
He had a bodyguard.
He had a bodyguard.
Then it became he had bodyguards.
Then they pulled Glock 17s.
dan friesen
First, they took his phone, then they tackled him.
Then they pulled guns on him.
It's nonsense.
I believe.
jordan holmes
Also, the fact that he just casually references Glock 17s is like, no, I don't like that at all.
dan friesen
Very specific.
I don't like that at all.
I am not saying that he's making something up out of whole cloth, but there's some element of the story that's missing.
Maybe he was high.
jordan holmes
Well, police did also tell him that he couldn't bring that brown bag inside the Walmart.
dan friesen
Why the fuck would you be at a Walmart at one in the morning if you're not high?
Also, I don't know any reason to go to Walmart.
jordan holmes
He ran out of socks.
He ran out of socks.
dan friesen
He smoked them all.
jordan holmes
Have you not smoked them?
All right.
unidentified
All right.
jordan holmes
You're unfairly drawing Alabama and hillbillies in a broad brush.
unidentified
Yeah, now I say, boy, how to do it boys down there in Alabama.
dan friesen
That's too biou.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that was way too biou.
dan friesen
It's tough for me to slide right into the South or Midwest.
Anyway, that's...
jordan holmes
Slide right into my DMs.
dan friesen
That's it for the 16th of the show.
Alex invalidates his own claim that he's not buying into Jade Helm by buying in real hard for a random caller.
He has been schooled by Jesse Ventura, but he's also teased his heel turn about Trump.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
It's very clear that it's only a matter of time now after July 16th until he inevitably does get in.
And is it just the bigotry?
unidentified
I don't know.
jordan holmes
It sure seems like it.
dan friesen
It kind of does at this point.
jordan holmes
It seems like really all he's interested in is the fact that Trump says we should hate immigrants.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's basically all he's.
dan friesen
Pretty much.
Yeah.
So I was going to cut it off at the 16th for this episode.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But we have to talk about the 17th.
jordan holmes
Okay, what happened on the 17th?
dan friesen
The 17th is one of my favorite Alex Jones episodes I've ever listened to.
And I'm just going to play the beginning of the show, and you'll see why.
alex jones
Well, I'm going to jump the shark intentionally at the start of the next segment.
So call your friends and family.
jordan holmes
What is that?
alex jones
I'm telling them to tune into the broadcast.
jordan holmes
What does that even mean?
alex jones
Let me start the next segment in exactly seven minutes, 12 seconds from now.
So start the countdown.
Get ready because we are going to be broadcasting down some information that may actually shake large portions of the population out of their mind control.
jordan holmes
Is that what jumping the shark is?
dan friesen
I guess so.
jordan holmes
What is jumping the shark?
What does he think it means?
He uses it a lot.
dan friesen
Fortune favors the bold.
jordan holmes
He doesn't know what it means.
dan friesen
He doesn't understand aphorisms.
jordan holmes
He really doesn't.
dan friesen
Unfortunately, he does literally jump the shark.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
This episode is embarrassing.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
So I don't want to spoil for you what the actual jumping of the shark is.
jordan holmes
I don't understand, again, what it is we're talking about, but I'm excited to find out.
dan friesen
I don't know if it's going to work better if I just spell it out up top.
jordan holmes
No, I want to hear it.
I want to hear it cold.
dan friesen
Okay, so I have split up the actual shark jump into three parts.
jordan holmes
Preparation.
dan friesen
No, it's six.
jordan holmes
The buying of water skis?
dan friesen
Motorcycle.
jordan holmes
Definitely got to get a motorcycle there.
dan friesen
Yeah.
That's right.
It is water skis.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I forgot.
It's, what was it?
Happy days.
dan friesen
Yeah, but he also jumped something on a motorcycle at some point.
jordan holmes
They got very into the jumping of things.
dan friesen
There are six parts to this shark jump.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
And each one of them is held up by a complete bullshit lie.
All right.
One of his tent posts, one of his waypoint stories that he's been telling, we haven't really dealt with a lot of the 2015 tent posts, the waypoints.
So we get to take care of all of them in one fell swoop during this jumping of the shark.
It's amazing.
So here we go.
We're going to start it off with the first clip.
This is seven minutes and a couple seconds after the last one.
alex jones
Terror threats are being used to take our freedoms.
jordan holmes
Agreed.
alex jones
The Patriot Act is used 99 plus percent of the time against non-terror-related cases to overturn the Bill of Rights and Constitution.
jordan holmes
Perfect.
Stop there.
alex jones
Now that's political correctness.
jordan holmes
Whole thing's done.
alex jones
Anything is hurtful to anyone, they're saying it's banned.
That's totalitarianism.
So what we need is some strong medicine to force the logical point, to force the debate, to have the controlled trader media attack us for making this point, and then to have the American public have a logical discussion.
Now, they will take what I'm about to say out of context.
This is a big announcement.
jordan holmes
How is that an announcement?
alex jones
But it's not done satirically.
It's done at a level of logical discussion.
If we're going to ban paper bags that are brown in Seattle government because someone might be hurt that they're brown bags, no one ever said brown bags, anything to do with racism.
They just say it to set the precedent.
They can ban and restrict whatever they want.
dan friesen
So that's the first waypoint is that they're outlawing brown bags in Seattle.
They're not.
This was based on a memo that a Seattle Elliot Bronstein, the chief spokesman for the Seattle Office of Civil Rights, advised the city's public information officers to avoid the phrase brown bag and use terms like sack lunch or lunch and learn according to a memo, which is being widely misreported as an order or a ban.
Now, the reason that he did this was.
Okay, I'm just going to read his quote.
jordan holmes
I assume it has something to do with alcohol.
dan friesen
No.
This issue came up in one of the departments, and I thought I'd send it around as an FYI for your consideration, the memo reads.
We often use the expression brown bag to designate a bring your own lunchtime event.
We also use the word citizens as a synonym for residence.
Innocuous phrases, right?
It went on.
unidentified
Hmm.
dan friesen
Not so much.
For some people, the phrase brown bag calls up ugly associations with the use of the expression brown bag to determine if people's skin color was light enough to allow admission to an event or a home.
Citizens is a different case.
We sometimes use it as another way of saying members of the public, except for all the members of the public who aren't actually citizens, who live and work here.
It's basically a fucking, the chief spokesman for the Office of Civil Rights issued a memo to city employees that asked them to be more sensitive.
Yeah.
Because there is a history of it.
I've looked into it.
That's not made up.
unidentified
No, of course.
dan friesen
The idea of passing.
jordan holmes
Anything that, any reference to racism in American history, even if I have no context for it, I'll be like, yeah, that's probably true.
dan friesen
I think that this is probably stretching a little bit in terms of the descriptors of this bag is brown.
Yeah.
It's not, but at the same time.
jordan holmes
It's just, he's just saying, you know, like, language is important.
Be specific with your words.
Yeah.
That's all he's saying.
A lot of the times, just be more specific.
dan friesen
Sack lunch is no more difficult to say.
It's no less descriptive.
No.
jordan holmes
And it's not a ban.
It was him being like, hey, try and do this.
dan friesen
Yep.
But at this point, the shark jump has been described.
jordan holmes
Also, the plan that he has is so mind-bogglingly stupid.
dan friesen
And we don't even know what exactly it is yet.
jordan holmes
But his plan is going to say something.
What he's outlined.
His idea of how this is going to work is he's going to say something intentionally fucked up.
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So that the media will report on it.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
But even though it's intentionally fucked up, they're going to take him out of context.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Which boggles the mind even further.
dan friesen
Well, here's what he's trying to do.
jordan holmes
And then that will force everyone to come together and have a conversation about how stupid the fucked up thing he said was.
dan friesen
More or less.
He's trying to play the Mark Dice game on a pro level.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But what he doesn't realize is the Mark Dice game only works because it's a closed loop.
You don't have any rogue actors in there like the actual media.
So like the media is not going to play along with this the way you play along with Mark Dice's reporting and create your circle of propaganda.
They are going to take it on its face.
They're going to deal with what you say and be like, holy shit.
jordan holmes
And we'll get to it.
And even then, they could just go back and listen to the first part where he said, this is what we're going to do.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yep, that is a problem, too.
jordan holmes
If you're trying to trick people, don't tell people you're tricking them.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Yeah, that is a problem.
Alex is dumb, though.
And it's so fucking hilarious for him to say.
jordan holmes
Although, then again, that is Jerome Coursey's plan.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, totally.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
dan friesen
It's what they do.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Okay.
This time, we're actually going to do propaganda.
Jerome, Coursey, buddy, maybe.
You're way past that.
dan friesen
I'm going to be paying thousands of dollars for people to soy bomb CNN.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Dude, no.
Not a propaganda campaign.
dan friesen
So.
He goes on.
And like I said, I didn't cut anything out.
These are just segmented.
I took a break pretty much whenever he got to one of his lies.
Seattle brown bag shit is a complete misrepresentation and a lie, as we come to expect from Alex.
Here's the next one.
alex jones
If we're going to tell kids nationwide in public schools under no child left behind, you're purple penguins.
You can't be a boy or girl.
It might hurt someone that doesn't identify as a boy or girl.
If you can't have your identity because it might hurt someone else, that is the greatest form of oppression psychologically I could imagine.
dan friesen
So this is another one of his big waypoints.
unidentified
But can't you just can't you just for one second turn that around?
jordan holmes
Like, hey, if you can't have your identity because it hurts somebody else.
dan friesen
Like Alex?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Like, maybe think about how your identity has hurt somebody else a lot.
Or maybe somebody else can't have their identity because you don't want to feel bad.
dan friesen
You're on a real interesting tip that Alex is not interested in.
jordan holmes
He cannot grapple with.
How is it that you just can't grapple with the turn it the other way?
Right.
It's not even hard.
It's super easy.
Like, if I feel one way and I don't like that, what if somebody else who isn't me feels that way?
dan friesen
It's like if he sees the letter A right here.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's like, ah, that's the letter A.
And then it moves a little bit over there.
He's like, what the fuck is that?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Exactly.
Exactly.
How do you not just take that little step?
dan friesen
Yeah, so would you like to learn about this waypoint?
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Alex has been saying for a really long time, and I don't think I've played it on the show, that nationally, in schools, they're telling kids that they can't be boys or girls anymore.
They have to be purple penguins.
unidentified
Yes.
jordan holmes
That'd be fun.
dan friesen
And this is because saying boys and girls are hurtful to trans-identifying students.
jordan holmes
Which doesn't make any sense.
dan friesen
He's stupid.
But here's the thing.
If you look into it, this is based on a story out of Lincoln, Nebraska specifically.
And there were some materials that were provided to teachers by a group called the Gender Spectrum, which is an organization whose website states a goal of fostering, quote, gender-sensitive and inclusive environment for all children and teens.
So inside their materials, it has this.
I'll just read this quote.
Don't use phrases such as boys and girls, you guys, ladies and gentlemen, and similarly gendered expressions to get kids' attention, instructs a training document given to middle school teachers at the Lincoln Public Schools.
Create classroom names and then ask all the purple penguins to meet on the rug.
The document also warns against asking students to line up as boys and girls and suggests asking them to line up whether they prefer skateboards or bikes, milk or juice, dogs or cats, summer or winter, talking or listening.
jordan holmes
Oh, do you mean by who you are as a person as opposed to what you have between your legs?
dan friesen
Yeah, and it goes on to say, ask yourself, always ask yourself, will this configuration create a gendered space?
The document asks.
jordan holmes
I think that's actually a very smart thing that sounds really dumb.
dan friesen
What do you mean?
jordan holmes
I just mean that it has the ring of, like, even while...
dan friesen
Everything that has to do with kids is dumb.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
Right.
To adults.
But that's that.
No, I mean, I mean, that's that angle.
Like, I immediately have that knee-jerk reaction of like, dudes, you're going overboard with this.
Let's just, but that makes perfect sense just in a form of education.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Just like that idea of we're not immediately putting you into your blue and your pink.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You're given your choice.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You're like, oh, I am not a boy or a girl.
I am somebody who enjoys this.
I am a person first with my own thoughts and feelings, and I'm not a, I'm not whatever you tell me I am.
And I'm allowed to choose and grow in the way that I want to.
And that makes sense.
dan friesen
And the arbitrary arbitrary specific of purple penguins in that readout in that.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's just little group names.
dan friesen
Yeah, just create teams within the classroom and give them names.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Why not?
jordan holmes
That's like getting mad at Legends of the Hidden Temple.
dan friesen
Oh, Silver Monkeys.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
Very, very unhappy with that.
dan friesen
Also, the Shrine of the Silver Monkey, or that one where you had to put the three pieces of the monkey together and no one could ever fucking do it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I remember I screamed at the TV about that when I was a kid, and then someone made a group about it on Facebook like years and years ago.
I'm like, you fucking asshole.
Now I can't complain about it.
Now it's hacky for me to remember that it made me mad.
I'm like, God damn it.
jordan holmes
Do you know what's even worse?
You can't complain about it also because one of the reasons that it was so hard for them was because they were shooting for like 12 or 14 hours straight.
dan friesen
Oh, another reason is most of them weren't tall enough to put the head on.
jordan holmes
There were many issues with Legend of the Hidden Temple.
dan friesen
So, you know, people got mad about this, and led by people, I mean, Alex.
Yeah.
But there's more.
So Brenda Ligario, the Lincoln Public Schools Coordinator for Social Workers and Counselors, clarified to the Lincoln Journal Star after the issue gained widespread attention.
The materials were provided as guidelines for educators to better understand gender identity issues and were not intended to impose rules mandating how those issues should be addressed.
Quote, the handouts provided by a staff member on a district equity team were meant only for teachers, not for students or parents, she said.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
And they were not meant as rules staff had to follow, but as suggestions for how teachers can make students feel comfortable.
It also stresses the impact words can have on others.
If there's a staff member that's uninformed and unsupportive, that can be pretty scary for a family maybe struggling to understand transgender issues themselves.
So that just sounds like a really good progressive school district, quite frankly.
jordan holmes
Do you know what it always brings me back to almost all of this?
Almost all of this always winds up boiling down into be thoughtful.
Right.
dan friesen
Alex hates that.
jordan holmes
I'm a huge.
I read the DAO like 10 million times when I was growing up.
And just one of those very simple things was always be mindful, be thoughtful with your actions.
Think before you just randomly or just like think about how does this make somebody else feel first instead of I want to do it, so I'm going to.
It's a great ideal.
I mean, it never happens.
dan friesen
No, no.
So to make matters worse for Alex's narrative, the Lincoln Public School Superintendent Steve Joel pushed back against what he said was a misinformed reaction to the district's gender identity training by national commentators and news outlets.
Right.
Quote, it's indeed regrettable for the last week and a half we've had to dedicate as much staff time and resources to address an issue that is not founded in fact.
Never once has anyone inside our school mandated that a teacher take the words boys or girls or ladies and gentlemen out of their interactions with children or interaction with adults.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
This was about adults, professional educators who care deeply about trying to reach and establish relationships with children.
They are looking for strategies about how to be more effective in the classroom.
So fuck you, Alex.
You're a liar.
jordan holmes
Get mad about real shit.
Why do we always have to, why do they have to make things up to be angry about?
dan friesen
But, bro, that's what I'm talking about.
That's why this is jumping the shark.
He's accidentally doing what he's parodying.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's true.
dan friesen
He thinks he's doing it satirically, but he's just going overboard on his narratives in one chunk.
So, this next clip, he actually jumps the shark.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
He does the jump that he had prepared, which is crazy.
And then this clip ends with another lie.
alex jones
That's the wildest cult programming that I could ever even envision in my mind.
jordan holmes
Really?
alex jones
Period.
jordan holmes
There's way better cult programming.
alex jones
So to assault these people, we have to point out that what they're doing is unconstitutional.
It's tyrannical.
It's totalitarian.
It's oppressive.
It's cultic.
But also, it can't be selectively enforced.
It can't be discriminatory.
And so.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
If we have radical Muslims being brought in by the hundreds of thousands a year from everywhere from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait.
jordan holmes
Name two more countries.
alex jones
Areas of northeastern Africa like Somalia.
unidentified
One.
jordan holmes
One.
alex jones
Who are then constantly getting caught trying to carry out attacks or who are carrying out attacks against soft targets?
Well, if it's hurtful to people, they're doing that.
And if we blame all white people for the shooter in Charleston, the deranged shooter, and if we blame the Confederate battle flag for that, then I'm calling for all Muslim symbols to be removed.
And I'm calling for all mosques in the United States to be shut down.
And I'm calling for all self-identifying Muslims of any type to be deported to their original country of origin, even if they've been here 200 years.
I want all Muslims deported now.
And I want all Muslims to have their mosque shut down and their minarets removed and their symbols removed.
And anyone wearing a crescent moon around their neck, I want them arrested.
Because we've got police showed up at SWAP meets saying they're there to arrest people selling rebel flags.
Total tyranny.
Hardcore oppression.
dan friesen
So we'll get back.
alex jones
Well, then, let's see it.
dan friesen
We'll get back to that rebel flag thing in a minute.
jordan holmes
Of course.
Oh, I didn't think he was going to let the rebel flag go the moment the rebel flag.
dan friesen
Oh, no, I meant I'm going to get back to it.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
But so just to sort of dispense with why that argument is really stupid.
jordan holmes
That's the dumbest argument.
dan friesen
Well, but just to lay it out.
Just to lay it out, because he thinks he's being logical.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And he's not.
There's a really foundational problem with the way he's presenting this.
And that is, in order for his argument to make sense, then the Confederacy or worship of the Confederate flag would have to be a federally protected group.
It would have to be a religion.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So he.
jordan holmes
Which, in a lot of ways, it basically is.
dan friesen
But in order for him to make this argument logically sound, actually, it does work.
It's just all his premises are wrong.
Like, it works as a logical, like, okay, yeah, I mean, it's dumb, but like, it does strictly work.
jordan holmes
I don't understand how you think it works.
dan friesen
Well, because it doesn't.
Because it doesn't have to be true for it to actually work logically.
jordan holmes
No, he's not.
dan friesen
He's saying if Muslims attacking people hurts someone, and if the Confederate flag being hung hurts someone, we take down symbols of the Confederate flag when a Confederate person or someone inspired by the Confederate flag hurts people.
Therefore, we should take down all symbols of Muslim people when a person inspired by Islam attacks somebody.
It actually does work, strictly speaking, in terms of A then B, B then C, C then D.
It's stupid, but it doesn't matter.
jordan holmes
I mean, is that why?
Okay.
Yeah, I see where you're coming from.
You're right.
It's just that the premises are so, so stupid.
dan friesen
Well, and the premises don't, they don't, it's the difference.
jordan holmes
And they're not a one-to-one premise, though.
dan friesen
No, it's the difference between valid and sound when you're talking about logic.
You can have a valid argument that's not sound.
jordan holmes
Right, because it's made up.
dan friesen
Right.
In order to have sound arguments, you need to have true premises that lead to a conclusion.
It needs to be in the proper form, and things have to be true.
You can have a valid argument that's not sound if you just have bullshit in there.
You can just have lies, but as long as it's set up right, it's not that.
jordan holmes
Right.
I get what you're saying.
dan friesen
Truth can't lead to falsity.
Falsity can lead to truth.
jordan holmes
I got you.
dan friesen
So the thing is, like I said, the really big thing is that in order for you to make this argument and make it work, you have to put in something that makes the Confederacy, which is a rogue failed insurgency, basically.
That has to be exactly the same as a religion.
And if you want to make that argument, Alex, you can, but then you have to say a whole bunch of other shit.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
It implies a bunch of stuff that I don't think he realizes he's implying.
jordan holmes
That would be an interesting.
I mean, because it, for a lot of people, it does function as something of a religion.
I mean, even the idea, well, I mean, the idea that the South will rise again very much has those religious overtones.
dan friesen
Jesus will rise.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
And then the fervency of the belief in the flag itself.
And, you know, it's very much a, it is a worship.
We worship the past.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Could you see Confederacy becoming a religion?
A federally protected religion.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
The people who believe that we should have the Confederate flag hanging should have to agree to go to church together and worship that flag.
dan friesen
No, I don't think so.
But also, like, see, this is the thing that I find the most interesting about people trying to use logic who don't know anything about logic.
Whenever you make arguments like the one Alex is making, you have a bunch of they're not really even assumptions, but they're implied premises that you don't really even realize are in there.
And when you make your argument, you're actually saying a ton more than you're actually getting to.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And that is one of them.
And the other thing is, like I said, things have to be true.
People weren't calling.
jordan holmes
Ha ha, Dan!
Dan, you sweet, naive child.
I'm just saying, Dan, you're such a beauty to see your wide-eyed optimism saying that things have to be true.
dan friesen
Well, to be sound, like I said, to be sound.
So the other thing that he's not taking into consideration is that people weren't saying we should ban the Confederate flag.
There were just a bunch of businesses that got pressure from people who didn't want them to sell it, and they replied to the free market.
They made a decision based on what their consumers were saying.
Places like Walmart stopped selling the flag.
jordan holmes
Free market.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So Alex should be thrilled with that.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, but they're not bringing prosperity back.
They're bringing free market, but it's not prosperity.
dan friesen
So secondarily.
jordan holmes
As we all know, prosperity is about that battle flag.
dan friesen
Secondarily, people wanted the Confederate flag taken out of state buildings because, of course, it should not be in government buildings.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's such a weird thing.
So those were the reasons.
That's like if North Vietnam was hanging a United States flag.
dan friesen
So here's the other thing.
If he wants to make the argument based on reality, which I think might be a better argument to make, because I agree with him if he were making this argument, which is, well, actually, I wouldn't agree with him if he was using terrorism as one of the foundational premises, but be that as it may.
If he's saying people, in reality, are trying to ban the Confederate flag being flown in government buildings.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And they're doing that because it hurts people.
Some people are offended by Islam.
Whether or not that's rational is another question.
So the Islamic flags should not be flown in our government state buildings.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, but they shouldn't be.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
But neither should the Confederate flags.
dan friesen
Right.
But if he's making that argument, then cool.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
But he's saying on their own property.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
He's going so far, but I know he's doing it satirically.
jordan holmes
Well, he's thinking he's doing it satirically.
dan friesen
Right.
I understand that.
I understand that he's not literally calling for these things.
But the form he's using is so flawed.
Like, he just drives me up a fucking wall.
unidentified
I could spend half an hour talking about all the bullshit.
dan friesen
So he ends that, though, with the you're being a pedant is really what's going on.
I am flashing into the part of myself that should have been a professor.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
So I looked into the idea that people were storming swap meets and trying to get the Confederate flag taken down.
Yeah, or arresting people for selling Confederate flags.
jordan holmes
Arresting people that you can't do that.
dan friesen
So I looked it up and I accidentally googled Confederate flag arrests.
And what I found was a couple of bad stories.
One is, I'll just read you this headline, tell you a little bit about it.
jordan holmes
Somebody just arrested a Confederate flag.
dan friesen
Put it in cuffs.
They waved the Confederate flag and a shotgun at a black child's party.
Now they're headed to prison on terrorism charges.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So that's one story I found.
Another one, a man bombed Walmart because it stopped selling Confederate flag in Mississippi.
Another one.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, I know what you're saying.
It seems bad.
But was anybody arrested for selling the Confederate flag?
dan friesen
I did find one story about police and a swap market or a swap meet.
unidentified
Okay.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
A shopper perusing the merchandise at a Redwood County flea market was so offended by a vendor selling Confederate and Nazi historical memorabilia, the person actually called 911.
Wallingsford, Connecticut police were dispatched to the flea market to investigate.
The police chief, William Wright, tells News 8, the reason no one was arrested was because the items were being sold on private property.
Not to mention, not to mention, no laws.
jordan holmes
Because of course.
dan friesen
No laws were broken.
jordan holmes
Because of course!
dan friesen
There was a table set up with this material, Wright says, according to the journal record.
It's not criminally illegal, but obviously it offended this person.
It causes some people a sense of being uncomfortable.
Certainly the owner could preclude this merchandise.
He said he could if he wanted to.
jordan holmes
And the owner could do that.
dan friesen
The town resident who called 911 said that there were helmets with swastikas, images of Hitler, and other historical Nazi items.
Quote, I was shaking and almost vomiting, he tells the paper.
I had to run.
jordan holmes
Do not turn on the history channel.
dan friesen
My grandmother had numbers, he said, referring to the digits Nazis would tattoo on their prisoners.
jordan holmes
Oh, shit.
dan friesen
The caller complained that the Confederate items were, quote, not authentic and replicas of flags and weapons.
He said the seller told him he was, quote, selling so much he can't keep it in stock.
So basically what happened, this has to be the story he's talking about.
It's from around the same time.
It's a flea market.
It's police coming in.
I couldn't find any other stories.
jordan holmes
Nobody got arrested for selling the flag.
dan friesen
Right.
Just completely making that part up out of whole cloth.
It's absolutely absurd.
jordan holmes
Well, I think his argument would be that liberal snowflakes want people arrested for selling the Confederate flag.
You know, those liberal snowflakes who survived the Holocaust.
dan friesen
Or if their family did.
Yeah.
Maybe.
I don't even know if he would want that guy arrested.
I don't know.
The calling the police part is a little strange, but I get where he's coming from.
It's look, I don't know.
jordan holmes
Also, I liked the fact that at the end he was like, and the shit wasn't even real.
unidentified
Well, that's just getting a nice little jab.
jordan holmes
I know.
That's some good stuff right there.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I'm a big fan of this dude.
dan friesen
Alex is not done with his shark jumping rant.
He has a couple more things he wants to bring in.
Here's one of them.
And again, I didn't cut anything out.
It's just segments.
alex jones
Let's see if the controlled left won't just edit what I just said and we'll take it in context.
Because the truth is most Muslims aren't radicals.
Most Muslims aren't terrorists.
The truth is that in general, the people coming to this country just want to work and be successful and are fleeing the oppression of radical Islam.
dan friesen
You should stop there.
alex jones
I know a lot of Muslims.
I went to school a lot of Muslims.
I don't support blaming all Muslims for what just happened.
But you know what?
There have been a lot of Muslim groups allied with the left who are calling to remove the Confederate flag and who are getting into this whole anti-Anglo-Saxon, anti-white garbage.
And so it's time for white people and anyone else that doesn't want to be oppressed to say, I'm not going to be blamed for what somebody else does.
But if you want to play by that game, we know statistically over 95% of terrorism in the world is carried out by Islamic extremists.
The rest by criminal groups who want ransoms.
jordan holmes
That's not even close to true.
Not even close to true.
dan friesen
Just to give you a little bit of an idea.
So in the United States, for example, 94% of terrorist attacks carried out in the United States between the years of 1980 to 2005 were done by non-Muslims.
unidentified
Nope.
dan friesen
A lot of them were environmental groups.
A lot of them were animal rights groups, even a lot of them do.
Because, you know, if you do a little arson, that counts as a terrorist.
jordan holmes
Get a little arson.
Get a little arson out.
dan friesen
So Alex likes to talk about Europe, too.
jordan holmes
If you do a little arson.
dan friesen
He talks about how all these attacks are being carried out in Europe.
Of course.
So there have been a thousand terrorist attacks in Europe in the last five years when this article was written.
And less than 2% were carried out throughout the entirety of Europe by Muslims.
Of course.
So, I mean, if you want to go worldwide and say, like, you know, Muslims fighting off our shit in other countries, our acts of terrorism, you get into real murky territory.
jordan holmes
That's the thing.
One of the big problems with terrorism is that people use it as a stopgap or a catch-all.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
When terrorism is very specific, it is a group of people or a person doing a relatively small thing with a big footprint in order to influence government policy.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's what it is.
And the thing is, the Charleston shooting was not terrorism.
It wasn't.
It was a dude who wanted to cause a race war.
dan friesen
There's political implications to it, but yeah.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
But he wasn't trying to influence the government into doing that.
No, he was trying to influence white people.
dan friesen
It's this weird disconnect between like there is that political terrorism, but then there is just also trying to strike fear into everybody.
jordan holmes
There's definitely that.
dan friesen
So I don't know.
unidentified
I think but that's an execution.
dan friesen
I agree with your point.
Look, it's silly, I think, to include in your.
Because Alex doesn't care about things.
jordan holmes
Yeah, why are we even pretending?
dan friesen
Well, Alex only really cares about things that are being done against the West.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So if we include United States and Europe into that, the attacks that are done by Muslims are infinitesimal.
Less than 6% in the United States, less than 2% in Europe.
And then if you want to talk about what is actually terrorism in the rest of the world, does Alex care if they do stuff to each other?
jordan holmes
Do we have any Australian terrorists?
dan friesen
I don't know.
There was that one guy.
You don't know.
jordan holmes
That is a vague response.
dan friesen
You know who I'm talking about.
He had a knife.
jordan holmes
He did have a knife?
dan friesen
It wasn't a knife.
unidentified
I didn't have a knife.
dan friesen
It was Paul Hogan.
jordan holmes
Well, the crocodile hunter did strike fear in the hearts of crocodiles.
dan friesen
There's no doubt about that.
So, I mean, look, I don't know.
It's a really complicated issue to discuss, but I know Alex's statistics are wrong.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I know that.
Whatever it is he says that's lies, we are trying to make sense of.
dan friesen
So he's saying that 90% of the world's terrorism is all Muslims.
jordan holmes
Which is bananas.
dan friesen
And the rest of it is just people looking to get ransoms and stuff like that.
It's like kidnappings in Brazil and shit.
But then you have to say that even if you are saying that, you're not taking into account all those environmental and animal rights groups that are burning shit down.
jordan holmes
Which he should be happy to pile on with.
dan friesen
Sure, this is like that cat sanctuary.
larry elder
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Just come out and throw him on there.
dan friesen
Why not?
jordan holmes
It's Muslims and Muslim sympathizers, which, as we know, are big fans of the environment.
alex jones
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And animals?
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
They love them.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
So he's saying that that.
jordan holmes
They're all evil.
dan friesen
He's saying that that's all of what terrorism is, but some people will try and make a caveat.
alex jones
They'll point towards Oklahoma City.
That's come out in mainstream news, which is funny as a $3 bill.
Totally shut up.
Southern Poverty Law Center running the white supremacist compound.
dan friesen
It's not true.
jordan holmes
All right, dude.
dan friesen
It has not come out in mainstream news.
I did find an article in World News Daily that had no sourcing about this.
jordan holmes
What is World News Daily?
dan friesen
Basically another.
jordan holmes
You come up with a bunch of.
Yeah, is it?
dan friesen
Yeah, it's just ⁇ it's a blog, though.
It doesn't have a cool angry Texan doing a radio show with it.
jordan holmes
Got to get more popular, man.
dan friesen
It's where Jerome Corsi used to work before he defected to InfoWars.
Jesus Christ.
jordan holmes
So it's got great credibility.
unidentified
Totally.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
It's like Zero Hedge.
It's in that world.
I don't know what Zero Hedge is.
It's like World News Daily.
So I found an article about it on there that had no evidence and no links to anything else.
Of course.
There was a claim of a secret FBI memo, but it didn't link to that.
It didn't have any.
jordan holmes
Well, it was secret.
dan friesen
Well, but it was apparently leaked or whatever.
It didn't have a link to it.
It didn't show a copy of it.
It just claimed that it existed.
The only thing I was able to find was apparently the place, the white supremacist group that Timothy McVeigh was involved with was called Elohim City.
And apparently, the Southern Poverty Law Center did have a mole inside.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
Yeah, they had infiltrated the group, and that's how they got a lot of information about the group.
So that part is kind of true in as much as they had someone who was doing research.
Now, there's no reason to believe that this person in any way influenced Timothy McVeigh to do things that he was already prone to do based on statements he'd been making for the last 10 goddamn years before that.
There's also no reason to believe that this mole within Elohim City would have had any foreknowledge of Timothy McVeigh's plan.
Because even if you have a white supremacist group, there's no indication that you'd just be like at an open meeting being like, I'm going to blow up the Murray building.
You know, that seems kind of clunky.
You can't assume that.
jordan holmes
Hey, guys, I'm a totally cool white supremacist.
You guys like blowing shit up.
I like blowing shit up.
When are we going to plan to blow shit up?
dan friesen
Let me tell you one thing I know about people who are involved in these sorts of fringe groups.
One of the trends that runs through all of them is a certain amount of paranoia.
A lot of them have good reason to believe that anybody in that group could be a government mole.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Because it might be.
jordan holmes
It's a good idea to get a mole in these.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
You've got to know.
jordan holmes
Because these are basically like.
dan friesen
They're terrorist groups.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
You know how you want intel.
Alex, you know how you want intel on what a terrorist group in Iraq is doing?
So do we, but also on the ones in the United States.
dan friesen
They're sleeper cells here, essentially.
They are that which you are afraid of.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So, look, it's so dumb.
It's just, it's, again, it's making stuff up out of whole cloth.
So I don't, look, I don't know.
unidentified
I don't know.
dan friesen
Anyway, we had one more clip of the shark jump.
And in this one, so there's a.
Wait, wait, so what was so the shark jump is ban all Muslims.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
But then he did go on after that.
Now, that's not true.
Right.
I don't believe that.
What I do believe is we should ban most Muslims.
Like, how did he think that's a shark jump?
dan friesen
Again, I don't get where he thinks satire in reality, where the line is, where sincerity falls on that spectrum.
I have no idea.
But I know that what he means is that I'm going to say that I call for the banning of all Muslim symbols, the closing of all mosques, the deportation of all Muslims, and then people will take that out of context.
jordan holmes
They won't point out that afterwards I said, I'm not saying that seriously.
dan friesen
Or immediately before it, I said, I'm going to fuck with people.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
So there's a logical form of sort of dealing with arguments called reducto ad absurdium.
And that's where you take someone's argument and you point out an example of what their logic implies that turns it into absurdity.
Yeah.
It's Italian or Latin for reduce to absurdity.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Alex Jones in this next clip accidentally does that to his own fake argument.
So this is actually a real treat.
jordan holmes
Let's jump this shark.
alex jones
But separate from that, this is the logic.
This is what they're pushing.
And so if one man killing nine people, one degenerate white person who couldn't even get the Klan to follow him committed that heinous act, then ladies and gentlemen, we have to remove the Confederate flag next to the American flag.
Now they're calling to remove Mount Rushmore.
dan friesen
Again, that's Mark Dice shit.
All Mark Dice.
alex jones
Let's remove every symbol somebody uses in a wrong way.
If somebody runs over somebody with a Ford truck, I want Ford to change its symbol, change its name, and I want, by law, every Ford symbol removed.
And if you don't, $10,000 fine.
And there have been people that have used Chevy cars to kill people in crowds.
I want Chevy banned.
dan friesen
So now, that is a stupid application of his logic.
It unfortunately isn't at all related to the logic of people who want the Confederate flag taken out of state buildings.
It doesn't work at all.
The only thing that him making this stupid fake argument about Chevy trucks have been used to mow down people, so ban Chevy trucks, that only hurts your fake argument.
It only shows how different that is from anything anybody else is saying.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So he has just fucking thrown a javelin through his argument.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he might as well have been like, oh, well, somebody from Iran came over here and committed a terrorist act, so we should ban all people from Iran from coming into the United States.
dan friesen
Wait, I think he is saying that now.
jordan holmes
Oh, is he saying that now?
That's odd.
dan friesen
He might be in the middle of the day.
jordan holmes
It's a direct one-to-one comparison.
dan friesen
It turns out that might be actually like all this stuff where he's claiming he's jumping the shark might be what he actually believes.
jordan holmes
It does seem like that, right?
dan friesen
Yeah, it does feel that way.
He's really careful to try, like, over the next couple episodes, he is like, now what I did was, you know what?
It didn't work the way he wanted it to.
Of course, I don't think anyone picked up on it.
alex jones
No.
dan friesen
No one was like, oh, we got to report on this.
If he did it today, people would be fucking talking about it.
But 2015, people didn't care nearly.
jordan holmes
But even then, if he did it today, people would be talking about how dumb he is.
Not for saying we should ban all Muslim symbols, but for saying, I am going to do this as a lie, then lie, and then I'm going to tell you that I was lying about it.
dan friesen
Well, actually, knowing media matters and the way they operate, I bet they would fall for it.
jordan holmes
Ah, I think you're, I think you're.
dan friesen
Well, that episode with the fill your hand yelling at Adam Schiff, they didn't talk about how he's clearly drunk on that episode.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
They aren't the best at picking up all the context of what's going on.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
But they meanwhile, I'm not trying to shit on that.
Right.
jordan holmes
We've already done that.
dan friesen
The shark has been jumped, Jordan.
jordan holmes
It got jumped.
dan friesen
So he ends this episode with an interview.
jordan holmes
He should end it with A and some double guns.
dan friesen
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Which he actually has in studio.
jordan holmes
He meant finger guns.
dan friesen
He ends the episode with an interview with a pastor whose name escapes me.
It doesn't matter.
It's just about how the Confederacy was pretty cool.
Oh, no.
But he does say this, the pastor, and this is where he loses all of his credibility.
chuck baldwin
There has never been a civilization in the history of the world that has officially embraced, promoted, and legitimized the homosexual lifestyle that has survived.
That is simply a matter of historical record.
dan friesen
Let me actually use a reducto ad absurdium argument against his.
I will do it in real time.
No cultures that didn't have Wii, didn't have Nintendo Wii's, have all not survived.
There we go.
It's stupid.
It's pointless.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It doesn't mean anything.
You can't imply causation between accepting homosexual lifestyles.
jordan holmes
Why did the Aztecs fade away?
dan friesen
Butt fucking.
jordan holmes
Didn't have Wii's.
dan friesen
Oh, okay.
jordan holmes
Everybody knows this.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Because Wii's have properties, I got nothing.
Yeah.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
That's just like saying all of the cultures who aren't alive now aren't alive now for any reason.
dan friesen
Right, but it's gays.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
The other thing, too, is like, hey, hey, buddy, there are a lot of civilizations that didn't formally recognize homosexuality, and they don't exist anymore either.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, I mean, it's.
jordan holmes
And, you know, Spartans fucked a lot.
dan friesen
They did.
jordan holmes
In the butt.
dan friesen
Yep, there was a bit of that.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, you understand that.
jordan holmes
And they actually did embrace it pretty heavily.
It was.
dan friesen
They had weird ideas about it.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah.
Well, it wasn't, yeah, it wasn't like we're in a loving relationship.
It was like a teaching thing.
dan friesen
In Athens, it was more teacherly-based.
Exactly.
That was more like if you were a teacher and you had a pupil, you could fuck.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But it was based on respect and that sort of thing.
jordan holmes
I don't understand that.
dan friesen
In the Spartans, there was a lot of soldiers fucking each other.
There was stuff like that.
And it was more like, we're so manly, we're going to fuck.
As I recall.
jordan holmes
There's nothing manlier than fucking another dude.
dan friesen
As I recall, there's some stuff in Viking history about that, too.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you get a bunch of dudes together in a small and close enough space.
Sooner or later, they're going to fuck.
dan friesen
Especially if you're out on a boat forever.
Yeah, yeah.
I feel silly bringing the Norse shit into it because I don't really know all that much about it.
But be that as it may, yeah, I mean, you could pick any hundred things about our modern culture that exists and be like, well, you know, past civilizations didn't have this or did have this.
It's fucking dumb.
Anyway, this guy's an asshole.
So we have a very short way to go to get through the rest of this, the rest of the time, because the last couple episodes in our stretch to July 21st are terrible.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
He jumped at the shark and he fucking did not get back up.
He crashed on that landing.
The 19th, because the 18th is Saturday, so there's no show.
19th, he does a Sunday show, and it's mostly about how the British nobility are Nazis.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
About how a picture of the queen when she was young, Heiling Hitler, came out.
And he's been vindicated on everything he's always said.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
And Man Cow sent him a congratulatory.
jordan holmes
For somebody who's always being vindicated, he sure feels the need to say he's being vindicated all the time.
dan friesen
And to do whole shows about it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So that's kind of dumb, and I don't really care.
I don't really particularly, I'm not all that interested in his feelings about the British nobility.
You know, they're a mess.
But we get to the 20th.
We get to Monday.
He talks more about British nobility.
And the show's boring.
But he does say this.
There's one clip worth listening to here, and it's this one.
alex jones
In high school, we'd go to the beach.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
Personal history.
alex jones
And I think if he separated the boys from the men, almost all the guys would be scared to go skinny dipping with the cheerleaders.
I shouldn't tell these stories.
I'd be like, I'm ready to go.
And of course, the only thing you really had to worry about out in the Gulf of Mexico at night was not so much sharks.
They're out there, but he got a better chance by being run over by an elephant than bitten by a shark.
Is the jellyfish.
dan friesen
Jellyfish will get you.
Yep.
He skinny dipped with the babes.
And that's what separates the boys from the men.
Is back then, he wasn't afraid to skinny dip with the ladies.
So it's his personal history mixed with even dumb masculine ideas.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
That's not true.
dan friesen
I believe it's probably true.
jordan holmes
I don't think it's true at all.
dan friesen
I think it's true.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Well, not his assessment, but the fact of him skinny dipping with cheerleaders.
I believe that.
unidentified
Maybe.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
You see those fucking pictures of him from when he was younger?
He was swole as fuck.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
He was built like a brick shithouse, this guy.
He was fit when he was younger.
jordan holmes
I don't like the way you're talking about it.
dan friesen
Also crazy.
jordan holmes
It's very disconcerting.
dan friesen
He was a bad kid.
jordan holmes
It's very Spartan of you.
dan friesen
He was a bad kid.
jordan holmes
I know what I'm saying.
dan friesen
He was a bad kid who got into a ton of fights, but also was traditionally attractive.
So I could see him being one of these bad boys who goes skinny dipping with girls.
If he's fucking like 150 girls before he's 16.
jordan holmes
But that's not true either.
dan friesen
No, but we have to live inside his fantasy.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I believe he probably did have sex with a couple people before he was 16.
But be that as it may, unimportant.
It's more important that Alex is like, this is what bravery is.
Skinny dipping with girls when you're young.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I skinny dipped.
I don't give a shit.
I don't think it was brave of me.
Anyway, we move on to the July 21st episode where we will end our investigation.
Again, no more comes up about Trump, so the actual investigation is kind of over.
But he does get back into this whole episode mostly on the 21st.
There's two narratives that he's spinning.
One, we're not going to talk about at all.
I'll talk about it, but we don't eclipse.
Alex is furious.
jordan holmes
This is a big new all over again.
dan friesen
Alex is furious that they don't let Army recruiters carry guns.
There's like army recruitment centers, and they don't have arms.
It's after the Chattanooga shooting where a guy shot some military people.
And so Alex is extrapolating that.
And so Joe Biggs is on the scene at just south of Austin Army Recruitment Center with a team of patriots with guns guarding the place.
No.
jordan holmes
God damn it.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So Joe Biggs.
jordan holmes
These are LARPers.
dan friesen
Basically.
Yeah.
So Joe Biggs is out there.
He does a report.
His Skype is terrible.
It breaks up over and over again.
And he's just like, hey, man, I'm out here.
Got my guns.
I'm going to protect these people.
I have some experience with Army recruiters because I don't know if it's changed.
I certainly hope it has.
But when I was in high school, the Army recruiters were in your schools.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Oh, they were in my school, too.
dan friesen
They were there, and their whole goal was to manipulate you into signing up.
jordan holmes
They were door-to-door salesmen, basically.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Our guy was super cool because we were kids, and we didn't know any better that he was trying to get us into the Army.
He would do James Brown impressions.
He would dance.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
He was awesome.
He seemed so cool.
But as you sort of, as time went on, you start to realize, why does he keep asking me what my future plans are?
Yeah.
This is weird.
I had a couple friends who fell for it.
Ended up signing up.
I don't think any died.
Should look into that.
So I don't care all that much about Army recruiters because it isn't really the benign thing of like, oh, you want to sign up, so you go sign up.
jordan holmes
No, they're salesmen.
dan friesen
Yeah, there is a manipulative game that they're playing in order to trick people into.
jordan holmes
If you have commercials for the Navy, like join the Navy.
dan friesen
It's absurd to think that they don't get bonuses for signing people up.
It's absurd to think that there isn't quotas that they are supposed to reach.
So, I mean, they have a vested interest in kids signing away their future.
So I don't want to talk about that because I don't really give a shit, and it's Joe Biggs heavy.
But Alex does say one thing that's really funny.
I wish I would have pulled this quote.
But he says, Joe Biggs is not a man to make shit up.
Flash forward to Joe Biggs getting fired for reporting on Pizzagi.
So the other narrative of the show that takes up most of it is these Planned Parenthood videos.
He gets back to them and he says some fucking wild stuff about them.
Here's the first clip.
alex jones
And when we're not doing it at the Capitol, when there's Christians just praying, trying to ban partial birth.
dan friesen
So this is about his demon narrative about every time you're at an abortion protest, demons show up.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I'm sorry, I forgot there was some context needed there.
alex jones
Women in flowery colors, old, young, black, white, Hispanic, mainly white and black, mainly white, actually, start going, Satan!
I mean, it's interdimensional.
It's Satanism.
It's real.
Something is going on.
jordan holmes
What?
alex jones
It's in every one of these videos.
There's wine, caviar, lavish restaurants.
I love Lamborghinis.
Dead babies.
unidentified
Yeah.
alex jones
And then MSNBC's like, it's so liberal.
Yeah.
dan friesen
So there we go with more classism.
But then secondly, he's talking about the Lamborghinis.
And this is something that's important to bring up.
It's based on the deceptive editing of the videos.
There's one lady who's having a conversation with someone about setting up a relationship where this fake research center could get tissue samples.
Right.
Every single time that they talk about intact samples, they don't.
The people making the video want you to believe that what they're talking about is a full baby.
And that's not what they're talking about.
jordan holmes
Of course not.
dan friesen
They're talking about like an intact liver or an intact organ, something like that.
Which is well within the legal situation.
And that is what they're talking about.
jordan holmes
And they should use the whole baby.
dan friesen
Sure, like the Buffalo.
Exactly.
So the other thing is this Lamborghini thing.
There's a lady talking, and she's clearly talking to the waiter.
And it's clearly, what do you want?
I want a Lamborghini.
unidentified
Lame.
dan friesen
Yeah, but it's an old lady.
jordan holmes
She's making a lame waiter joke.
No, no, no.
I mean the editing of that.
dan friesen
I think both.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, that's a good point.
dan friesen
So Alex tries to make the claim that they're buying Lamborghinis based on these baby monies and stuff like that.
And I just feel the need to clarify.
I mean, I watched all these videos today just in preparation, and it's so clear that this is a fucking manipulative cut and that she's not talking to the camera.
jordan holmes
Of course not.
dan friesen
So here we go.
unidentified
Yeah.
alex jones
Yeah, Caitlin Jenner.
Oh, we got the Moore Hagra.
dan friesen
She's got her view girl.
alex jones
I mean, it's all on it.
It's crazy.
These people are demons.
They just appear and start crawling out of trash cans.
One guy ran and hid in a dumpster.
I mean, they're like.
dan friesen
He might have been Oscar the Grange.
That's not really demonic as much as it is Hobo or Sesame Street.
So I don't.
Anyway, I don't know.
alex jones
Demons!
jordan holmes
Demons!
alex jones
And when you confront them, they'll actually just basically roll around on the ground like in Christ time saying, We are Legion.
You're Legion.
unidentified
You saw the movie scene.
jordan holmes
Keanu Reese.
alex jones
It's like wearing the glasses, folks.
I'm telling you, it's like They Live.
Maybe I should just settle down and play that six-minute piece that they bring put together from They Live.
And we had Rowdy Piper on because, you know, I felt like Rowdy Piper was trying to get his buddy to put the glasses on.
He won't do it.
He goes, put these glasses on her.
Start eating concrete, man.
unidentified
Once you see it, there's no going back.
alex jones
Just take the red pill, people.
dan friesen
Another movie.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
alex jones
Do you really want to side with ghoul women over 200 bottle red wine?
dan friesen
Classism.
unidentified
Yes.
alex jones
Talking about Lamborghinis from baby part sales.
jordan holmes
They sound like a lot of people.
alex jones
You want that on your conscience.
I don't even know if I can get the show at this point.
I just.
jordan holmes
Oh, my God.
dan friesen
What a douche.
jordan holmes
Yeah, come on.
alex jones
You know why I don't like it when the cops pull me over and give me a ticket?
It's not that I'm mad they're giving me a ticket for speeding.
I shouldn't be speeding.
It's dangerous.
It's not good.
I get we got to have some law and work.
It's that they'll be shot.
Is there a reason you were speeding 10 miles over the speed limit?
Like, is there a reason you're not arresting people selling baby parts?
dan friesen
Well, yeah, because.
jordan holmes
Because it's not illegal.
dan friesen
And it's not what's happening.
It's not that they're selling baby parts.
jordan holmes
They're not selling baby parts.
dan friesen
It's so crazy.
And that whole thing, like, do you want to side with these evil women?
Like, well, I mean, based on the truth, yes, because they're not evil.
jordan holmes
Well, also, even if they were evil, they sound like a lot of fun.
dan friesen
I like Chianti.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I would go to a white wine party.
dan friesen
Nice red wine.
jordan holmes
A Lamborghini?
I've never driven one of those.
dan friesen
She doesn't have one.
She clearly is telling away that she wants one.
jordan holmes
We just want a Lamborghini.
She's aspiring.
She's got ambition.
dan friesen
There is a great moment that, again, I didn't cut this clip just because of time constraints.
But Alex says, defending Plant Parenthood when these videos come out is going to blow back on you.
And it's so ironic because he never, well, I don't know.
I can't say for certain.
We'll find out as this investigation goes on.
But I guarantee he never is like, I'm sorry that I reported this.
jordan holmes
Of course not.
dan friesen
I know that it was manipulative.
I'm still against abortion, which would be the respectable thing to do.
If he was like, I'm against abortion, I have a principle that even up to the first trimester, I don't think it's okay.
I believe it's a human.
If he were to say that, and he's like, I'm sorry, these videos were manipulative.
It was propaganda.
I fell for it.
I'm sorry.
If he were to say that, I would respect the hell out of it.
And I'd be like, it's okay.
jordan holmes
I don't think any conservative outlet has said that.
dan friesen
Certainly a lot of people in the House and Senate had to.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Wow, that's true.
dan friesen
When they did investigation.
jordan holmes
That's true.
They did.
But I don't think.
I don't think the news really.
I don't think the opinion/slash news media for the conservative propaganda machine ever was like, well, guys, we got it wrong.
And I'm pretty certain that Fox News isn't reporting too much on the trial of those guys.
dan friesen
No, much like Hannity is not going to apologize for Seth Richards.
So he gets into this next clip, is a bit more about the Planned Parenthood stuff.
But what's important here is the video is a lie.
The videos that he's talking about are lies.
Now, he's going to lie about the lie.
He's going to edit.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
He's going to editorialize and add things that aren't in those videos in order to grow the demonicness of it or the villainy of it.
So even if he's just reporting on the video, that is reporting on a lie.
This is lying about a lie.
That's fascinating to me.
That's like next-level propaganda.
jordan holmes
Oh, well, when you multiply negative two by negative two, you wind up getting positive four.
dan friesen
That tracks.
unidentified
Yep.
alex jones
Trendy women lisping, driving brand new Mercedes, drinking 200 bottle red wine, talking and smacking.
And you're like, let me try not to chop them up in too big pieces because we get all the goodies of it.
unidentified
And I start like going, uh, and just kind of thrusting around.
alex jones
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
That's what he sounds like when he fucks.
alex jones
Like they're Amy Winehouse singing some blues jazz riff, but you're not on stage turning on a bunch of men.
You're a sick freak talking about baby parts.
It's not like you're in front of your husband in the bedroom.
You're talking about dead body parts and they're just wiggling around on their chair.
unidentified
I can't handle it anymore.
alex jones
I'm about to throw up.
Actually, you said throw up my throat.
I want to wipe my throat.
Oh, God.
Like them.
jordan holmes
This is why you're not in a movie.
alex jones
You understand?
They're coming.
jordan holmes
You're a terrible actor.
dan friesen
Jordan, I'm sorry.
I have to go back because, look, you're right.
unidentified
You're right.
jordan holmes
I threw up a little bit in the back.
dan friesen
You're right to yell.
But we've got to get a clean take of what happens after he fixes throwing up because it's so funny.
He's so dumb.
Like, first of all, the lie on the lie, too, is these women aren't squirming around and acting like they're sexually excited.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I don't know what it is he's fucking talking about.
dan friesen
He's trying to weave his narrative that he has built up in the past.
jordan holmes
They're demons.
It turns them on.
dan friesen
People who are pro-abortion have some sort of a sexual thing about killing babies.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's all nonsense.
But he's trying to make this lie match up with his pre-existing lie.
And it doesn't work.
If you watch the videos, that doesn't match up at all.
Also, he says that they are driving Lamborghinis.
The lady says she wants a Lamborghini.
There's no indication that she has one.
And who cares if they're drinking wine, you asshole?
Anyway, here we go.
jordan holmes
Hey, real Americans drink Papst.
dan friesen
All right, fair enough.
I kind of agree with that.
unidentified
Oh, I can't handle it anymore.
alex jones
I'm about to throw up.
I actually just had to throw up my throat.
I want away from these people.
I don't like them.
They say our kids belong to them.
You understand?
They're coming.
They're coming for us.
God, I can't stand them.
They're dangerous.
jordan holmes
They're even uncool.
dan friesen
They're so uncool.
jordan holmes
They're so uncool.
dan friesen
So at the end of this show, he has, like I said, he does more of this Joe Big stuff.
He says more bullshit about Planned Parenthood stuff, but I think we've gotten all we're going to get out of that.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Then he has the on-air debut of his 12-year-old son, no.
He does an admirable book report.
And I don't want to make fun of him again because he's a child.
No, it was about GMO.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
We just, let's move on.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I'm just going to get mad.
dan friesen
Look, I'm just going to get mad.
jordan holmes
You know, I'm going to get mad.
dan friesen
Because I have sympathies for him because he doesn't know any better.
I think he did a great job for a 12-year-old doing a news report.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
I know people in high school in my broadcast production class that did way worse stories than he did.
jordan holmes
Under way less pressure.
dan friesen
But he also had all the InfoWars money and team behind him.
I'm sure he didn't edit it himself.
jordan holmes
I'm sure he did.
dan friesen
He did a fine job.
unidentified
But also, it's his dad forced him to edit it himself.
dan friesen
Really, really fucked up.
unidentified
You won't get your peas until you finish this.
dan friesen
It's really, really, really fucked up the way Alex does this.
He has Rex on, and he's talking about how he's going to be even greater than him in the InfoWar.
And it's really putting a lot of pressure on a 12-year-old.
jordan holmes
Everything the light touches.
dan friesen
What is 12?
That's like fifth, sixth grade.
larry elder
Sure.
dan friesen
That's a lot of pressure to know about globalists.
jordan holmes
Yeah, well, if your voice hasn't even changed and you're already being primed to fight the globalists, man, you've got a big head start.
dan friesen
So Alex plays his report, and before that, he has him sitting in the studio, and he does the like, you're going to be greater than even me.
You're a sharp kid.
I love you so much.
Calls him sweetheart.
It's very weird.
And it's very weird, especially considering he now doesn't have custody.
But be that as it may.
jordan holmes
Again, whether or not he's a good dad, he's a fucking lunatic.
dan friesen
Before he intros Rex, he has him sitting there while he does an ad.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
So Rex is sitting in the.
jordan holmes
No, Rex is sitting there.
That's why you had me write Super Male Vitality down.
dan friesen
I did.
jordan holmes
Rex is sitting there looking over at his dad selling boner medications.
dan friesen
It's not quite the way you think it's going to go.
alex jones
Oh, no.
dan friesen
But you did get it, that it has to do with super vitality.
jordan holmes
Is he going to say something like, that's how we got you, Rex?
Because if he does, that's going to creep me out a lot.
dan friesen
No, because that I don't think I would have cut out.
I think that would be.
jordan holmes
He would have let that one in.
Okay.
dan friesen
No, this actually put the mic down because this accidentally might be the most progressive Alex Jones has ever been, which is really just a sell product.
alex jones
I'm going to give you a little news flash.
The only thing different about Super Female Vitality is it has frisky goatweed.
It has a different name.
Horny goatweed.
It's got a scientific name.
And it's more of an aphrodisiac.
It has all the same stuff the male stuff has in it.
And it does some other things to your body, not just the libido.
But it's super female, quite frankly, is the formula I like best, even more than super male.
But group debates that with me.
It's different for everybody.
And they go, Alex is not too good if you say you take female vitality on air.
Whatever.
dan friesen
Whoa, Alex Jones.
Welcome to the party.
jordan holmes
That's like...
It doesn't matter if I take male or female super male.
alex jones
It's all bullshit anyway.
dan friesen
We gendered these herbs.
I don't know why we didn't.
jordan holmes
There's no point in doing it.
dan friesen
Maybe he could learn a lesson from that.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Maybe he could.
jordan holmes
Maybe he could stop calling them male and female and instead let them choose what they want to be.
dan friesen
These horny herbs.
It's got horny goatweed in it.
I sell supplements on my website that you could buy in a truck stop bathroom.
It's the only place I've seen fucking horny goatweed sold out of those condom dispensers.
jordan holmes
It'll get you going.
That's why they call it horny goatweed.
Get it?
dan friesen
Yeah, I guess so.
Anyway, that brings us to the end of July 21st, and thus the end of our part four of our investigation of what happened to Alex Jones.
So far, we see little evolution in his feelings towards Donald Trump, except to say that maybe someone told me that.
jordan holmes
He loves some bigotry.
dan friesen
He does love that, and maybe someone told him to stop talking about his mob ties.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
I didn't speculate about that earlier, but I might as well hear the end.
The stuff that he was saying about Trump before this was basically vague accusations of crimes.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So there's a decent chance someone was like, dude, you've got to stop that.
jordan holmes
In not necessarily in nefarious ways, but just like, possibly in nefarious ways.
It could be.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
But it could also just be somebody being like, hey, that is something you could be sued for.
dan friesen
We know his lawyers aren't that good.
jordan holmes
That's a good point.
dan friesen
So he might have had someone who touched him and was like, hey, you got to calm down on that.
So he decided he's not going to attack Trump anymore.
But even in that speech, he still says he doesn't trust him and thinks he's going to betray everyone.
So there's no evolution for the rest of the time.
unidentified
But fuck was that shark jumping fun?
dan friesen
That was insanity.
That was complete nonsense.
And then beyond that, what else do we have?
Oh, Alex is an idiot and he believes propaganda about Planned Parenthood.
jordan holmes
I just love the abortion protesters.
He literally, and not in a figurative way, like he described Hillary Clinton as a demon and smells like sulfur as a way of describing all of this stuff.
dan friesen
Flies land on it.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
He's literally saying it is something interdimensional.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And that at these abortion protests, they fucking appear out of the ground, and if you confront them, they will contort on the ground saying, we are Legion.
dan friesen
Yep.
And they are Legion, and he's sick of them.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Makes him throw up a little bit.
alex jones
I just throw up my mouth a little bit.
unidentified
Ba.
jordan holmes
That was so terrible.
dan friesen
That was real bad.
jordan holmes
That was really bad.
dan friesen
But it's one of the.
jordan holmes
He's got to take an acting class.
dan friesen
It's one of the few times that I've been listening to the show, and I legitimately blurt laugh.
You asshole.
You are such an asshole.
jordan holmes
I was like, come on, man.
Use sense memory.
Use something.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Take an acting class.
dan friesen
So if you'd like to, you can find us on the internet.
jordan holmes
At knowledgefight.com.
dan friesen
Correct.
And we'll be back soon with another installment of this investigation.
Hope it picks up.
We are getting close to August where the first debate happens.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
So we'll see.
Again, Roger Stone has not shown up yet.
Steve Pieczenik is not there.
I actually want to make this clear.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
I remember that on our last episode, we didn't spell this out enough.
We danced around it a little bit.
And let me see if I can find the best way to say this.
Alex needs to be lied to in order to get on board with Trump, whole hog, because of the things he knows about him and the lack of trust.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
He knows about these connections that he has to mobs.
He knows about Russia connections, X, Y, and Z.
So in order for him to get on board, what we said is he needs another compelling thing, which we speculated would be this culture war stuff.
