I'm a first-time caller. | |
| I'm a huge fan. | ||
| I love your work. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| Hey, everybody. | ||
| Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| We hear a couple dudes like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| And according to our last episode, we're done with bits. | ||
| We are fucking so over bits. | ||
| So over bits. | ||
| You know how we're in a post-literal... | ||
| Truth world? | ||
| That's it. | ||
| We're in a post-bit podcast now. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| None. | ||
|
unidentified
|
None. | |
| And then the end of the podcast. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| Do you remember that Shaq song, No Hooks? | ||
| No. | ||
| It's like that, but with bits. | ||
| Wait, Shaquille O 'Neal song? | ||
| Yeah, he had a great song. | ||
| Why would I remember a Shaq song? | ||
| Well, he had a couple of great songs. | ||
| No, he didn't, Dan. | ||
| No Hooks was with the RZA and the GZA. | ||
| It was a great song. | ||
| All right, maybe it is. | ||
| Shaq is a surprisingly competent rapper. | ||
| You know a lot about Shaq. | ||
| I do. | ||
| And I don't know anything about Shaq. | ||
| And the same relationship holds true of Alex Jones. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Today we are drinking. | ||
| We're taking a surprisingly salty kickstart by Mountain Dew. | ||
| It's the code red of Black Cherry, I guess, is what we're talking about here. | ||
| You were saying you were surprised by how salty it is before the show. | ||
| It is very salty. | ||
| So that will be sort of an epithet. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The surprisingly salty kickstart. | ||
| Surprisingly salty kickstart. | ||
| Today, Jordan, we will be going over some of the incidents that happened on the... | ||
| The episodes of The Alex Jones Show on September 20th and 21st of 2017. | ||
| There's a lot of wild stuff to cover. | ||
| There's a lot of insanity. | ||
| Oh, actually, let me do this. | ||
| I forgot to do it. | ||
| Before we get started, let's give a shout-out to our new donor. | ||
| Oh, hell yeah! | ||
| What's going on out there, John? | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you so much for joining up with the team. | ||
| Listen up, John McCain. | ||
| If you don't fucking get back on board with ending this bullshit on repealing Obamacare, I'm going to start murdering people. | ||
| Although it is a very maverick act to give us money, and we appreciate it. | ||
| Yeah, that is true. | ||
| And if you would like to donate to the show and become a policy wonk yourself, you can do so by going to knowledgefight.com and clicking the support the show button. | ||
| We would appreciate it. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Okay, so now down to business. | ||
| Let's get down to business. | ||
|
unidentified
|
To defeat the Huns. | |
| That's a terrible way to do this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons? | |
| See, I would have gone with Barry Manilow. | ||
| You're the saddest bunch. | ||
| I swear to God I will do that whole fucking song. | ||
| I don't want you to do that. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I just want to talk about Barry Manilow. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Let's get on with it. | ||
| That's all we're going to do from now on? | ||
| Just various songs about how we need to get to the point? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Whilst never getting to the point. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Let's get to the point. | ||
| In honor of Alex Jones, we will never actually deal with Alex Jones today. | ||
| Let's not deal with Alex Jones in this first clip. | ||
| Let's deal with porno. | ||
| God, your transitions are incredible. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| You missed it. | ||
| Alex Jones is talking porno in this next clip. | ||
| How is that possible? | ||
| He got the spirit in him. | ||
| We're starting here on September 20th, and he had this to say. | ||
| Whatever he has to say is bullshit. | ||
| That man watches so much porn. | ||
| Right. | ||
| His browser history is the grossest thing that you will ever hear. | ||
| And I'm not judging. | ||
| Me neither. | ||
| But at the same time, you'll be interested to hear that his thoughts on pornography dovetail, interestingly, into white nationalism. | ||
| U.S. teens slower to drink. | ||
| You think that's good, right? | ||
| Or have sex than previous generation study finds. | ||
| A lot of Christian conservatives are like, oh, that's great. | ||
| You know, they're being more lordly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, they're not. | |
| They're watching hardcore porn. | ||
| They're taking drugs, hardcore drugs. | ||
| And they are not hanging out with real people. | ||
| And they're not having babies. | ||
| And the birth rate's imploding in the West. | ||
| Because everybody does simulated sex now. | ||
| Simulated sex. | ||
| It's one thing if you like to look at a 1960s playboy and it's a beautiful woman and you just admire her scantily clad. | ||
| That actually excites you more about your wife. | ||
| But it's not a woman degraded with 20 guys. | ||
| You stupid motherfucker! | ||
| You know, hammering on her like they're a beef tenderizer. | ||
| Beef. | ||
| That dehumanizes the woman. | ||
| That dehumanizes the men. | ||
| And every study shows it. | ||
| And I'm not up here on some Puritan high horse telling you, you look at those naked pictures, you're going to go blind, and the devil's going to get your soul, boy! | ||
| What I'm telling you is, it's declassified that this was all pushed and legalized to end the family, to end reproduction, and to end the enjoyment of sex. | ||
| Why would you need to classify that? | ||
| Everything has been declassified at some point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Because Alex is just making up everything. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It's wild to me. | ||
| It's just like... | ||
| Peanuts, they're high in cholesterol. | ||
| It was declassified. | ||
| Let me ask you a question. | ||
| I got it. | ||
| Has he ever confirmed that crack was created by Ronald Reagan to destroy the black community? | ||
| Probably. | ||
| He talks about Freeway Rick Ross every now and again. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| That's the way to do it. | ||
| It's declassified. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It means Rick Ross got out of prison. | ||
| This is so fucking stupid. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| I hate people. | ||
| I think he's right on one level in that. | ||
| In that it dehumanizes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think that there is something to be said for that, but at the same time... | ||
| I don't disagree with you there. | ||
| But at the same time, there are some people who are into those more extreme things, both men and women, and there's nothing wrong with exploring those parts of yourself. | ||
| So, I mean, there is a legitimate concern in terms of burning out neural pathways in your brain and stuff like that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But at the same time... | ||
| Hey man, let's be sex positive about shit. | ||
| Whatever you want to do, go do it. | ||
| I always suspect, especially with this kind of bullshit narrative that they peddle, I always suspect that what we're really dealing with is the older generation completely incapable of dealing with the speed of technology. | ||
| That's part of it too, but also the speed with which culture changes from something really uptight to something more permissive. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And it's just, it's terrifying to them. | ||
| And it's also, I think, the older generation having a, I wouldn't call it a stiff upper lip kind of mentality, but a, like, you know, back in the day, people wouldn't even admit that they masturbated. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| You know, so, yeah. | ||
| Women didn't admit they masturbated until, like, 20 minutes ago. | ||
| Yeah, what time was it? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So, yeah. | ||
| Well, and the big problem that I have with porn is that people do not understand or recognize the history of it. | ||
| Do you know why you can read? | ||
| Because of porn. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| That's the main reason that you can read. | ||
| In China, that's why they created words? | ||
| No, immediately following the Gutenberg press, there was an underground network of pornography that would be, for real, in the 1600s, you would have to get these books that would be underground railroaded, unfortunately, to use that metaphor. | ||
| That is also how so many Bibles were distributed. | ||
| That's how so many different works of great literature were distributed. | ||
| Porn has not just been around. | ||
| I get that people believe that internet porn is a whole different thing. | ||
| It is. | ||
| We'd have fucking movies if it weren't for porn. | ||
| Every technological advancement has almost always come through the use of pornography. | ||
| I don't disagree with that. | ||
| It's a very powerful motivator for people. | ||
| I mean, how much Japanese art would we have if it weren't for porn? | ||
| Are you talking about tentacle shit? | ||
| No, I'm just talking about so many different things, like in the way that they dealt with sex workers back in Japan. | ||
| They would draw these uki-oki things. | ||
| I don't know if I have that. | ||
| You mispronounced uki-cookie. | ||
| I don't know if I have the correct terminology right. | ||
| I may have made a mistake there. | ||
| You're not going to get a correction from me. | ||
| But that was the way they advertised it, and the way that you drew it was so important as well. | ||
| So much of our entire existence is built on porn. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So I get it. | ||
| And this is a thing that makes me very mad. | ||
| Everyone listening gets it. | ||
| You love porn. | ||
| I don't love... | ||
| I mean, I... | ||
| Well, look. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey. | |
| We all have our stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey. | |
| We all have our stuff. | ||
| So anyway, Alex is weird about it, but... | ||
| That is only the first thing he's super weird about on the 20th. | ||
| On September 20th, he spends a good hour and a half of the show or so in a co-hosting fashion with our old chiropractor friend, the one and only... | ||
| Dr. Group. | ||
| Dr. Group. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He comes on... | ||
| I wonder what his thoughts on porn are. | ||
| He loves it. | ||
| He thinks it's very historically important. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Fuck you. | ||
| Fuck you. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I'm sick today, and I'm just so done with... | ||
| You got that Dayquil sick of the bullshit thing going on. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| I'm just so done with hot takes. | ||
| I'm so done with them. | ||
| Everybody has to have this hot take on... | ||
| Porn, or whatever. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Do you think his take was hot? | ||
| No, no, not at all. | ||
| I'm just saying that recently I've read a bunch of them about porn and how everybody does all of this shit, and it's like, it always boils back down to, you don't know anything, and you definitely haven't learned anything from history. | ||
| Well, that's fair, but I think, and I don't know what you've been reading necessarily, so I don't know if I can respond to any of it. | ||
| I've read it all. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| Whenever I was nine. | ||
| I think that there is something to be looked at and something to be cautious of with the combination of pornography and high-speed internet. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Because of the ability of internet itself to be habit-forming. | ||
| And compulsive. | ||
| And pornography also to be compulsive. | ||
| The mixture of the two. | ||
| In the same way that online gambling is super... | ||
| You can get immersed in it. | ||
| There are elements of it. | ||
| And that's not porn's fault necessarily. | ||
| I'm not going to try and say that let's go wild west on it. | ||
| Anything goes. | ||
| But I am saying that there's a lot of... | ||
| Hey, let's face it. | ||
| Do you like oral sex? | ||
| If it weren't for porn, probably wouldn't be around. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's bullshit. | |
| Like, Benjamin Franklin. | ||
| That's bullshit. | ||
| People would have figured it out. | ||
| Benjamin Franklin went to France. | ||
| One of the big reasons that he went to France all the time was because their whores, his language. | ||
| Little Beej. | ||
| His language. | ||
| Performed it French style. | ||
| French style. | ||
| Which did not happen in the United States of America. | ||
| Well, but it would have eventually. | ||
| I mean, you can say that pornography did it. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| Let's not try and relitigate the history of sexual acts. | ||
| I'm just very angry. | ||
| I'm very angry today. | ||
| This is the first fucking clip. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| You have a show tonight. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| We can't spend ten minutes on this. | ||
| This is so minor. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Dan, awareness is not adjusting my anger. | ||
| You're going to get so much more furious. | ||
| Okay, great. | ||
| Because this is how we start. | ||
| Dr. Group is on the show because he got a package from a whistleblower. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What the fuck would a whistleblower... | |
| Okay, keep going, keep going. | ||
| Dr. Group, as we know, is a chiropractor and a quote-unquote holistic medicine specialist. | ||
| Working out of Houston. | ||
| He's working out of the New Life Medical Center or whatever. | ||
| Very interestingly reviewed online by past clients and customers. | ||
| So he got a package from someone that included a coloring book that children were getting in Texas schools. | ||
| About mental illness and about going to a psychiatrist and it's largely taking some of the stigma and fear away from going to a doctor and talking about issues that you may have. | ||
| Ah, boy. | ||
| They take a very different approach to it. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| And so Dr. Group and Alex talk about... | ||
| Psychiatric care? | ||
| No, I'm not going to be happy about whatever happens next. | ||
| You're not? | ||
| I'm not going to be happy. | ||
| You're not, but it's worth exploring a little bit because of some of the bullshit. | ||
| And it's the narrative that they want to talk about, so we're going to have to talk about it. | ||
| Here's the first clip where Alex and Dr. I don't want to even call him Dr. Group. | ||
| I'm going to call him Ed from now on. | ||
| That sounds good. | ||
| Ed Group is his name? | ||
| Edward Group. | ||
| So Alex and Ed... | ||
| It's a good thing he became a fake doctor. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Ed Group is a terrible name. | ||
| Ed Group, CPA. | ||
| Ed Group, sentient flies. | ||
| Ed Group, I bought my degree. | ||
| So in this clip they're discussing how basically all medication is mind control. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fuck them. | |
| Please resist the urge to scream about any of this. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I know it's going to be tough. | ||
| All of these medications lead to multiple side effects. | ||
| Over 780,000 adverse effects have been reported with psychotropic drugs. | ||
| That's humongous. | ||
| They know that they're going to put you on multiple other medications, but they also know that you're going to be in the system and that there are laws written that if you have mental illness, they can take you or your kids and you have zero rights at any time that they want to take you. | ||
| It also prevents you from having a gun in most cases. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, if only. | |
| So they're going to shut you down that way. | ||
| Oh, if only. | ||
| And it's going to dumb you down and make you easily controllable. | ||
| And I've even read some reports now about electromagnetic frequencies and when you combine these psychotropic medications with different types of chemicals. | ||
| And that's why they're spraying aluminum in the atmosphere, not just weather control. | ||
| They admit all that as well. | ||
| It's all declassified. | ||
| It's all declassified. | ||
| That's chemtrail stuff and the EMF stuff. | ||
| That's Dr. Hamamoto. | ||
| Just dovetail them in together. | ||
| That's my favorite crazy coming back. | ||
| Dr. Group has been reading Hamamoto. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That rug really ties the room together there. | ||
| Those lies really do it. | ||
| Isn't it great? | ||
| Like, the more we sort of look at these things, the more we see, like, it's all self-reinforcing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's all complete lies that are just like, oh, A props up B, B props up D, and C is somewhere in the mix there. | ||
| It's a network of bullshit that, yeah. | ||
| Are there even 780,000 things that can happen through medication? | ||
| That sounds bullshit. | ||
| That sounds made up. | ||
| No, it's a lot of repeats, I'm sure. | ||
| But then he's not taking into account that a lot of them are like dry mouth or headache and stuff like that. | ||
| They're just like, oh, that's minor. | ||
| And if you were a real doctor, he would understand the nature of side effects and how it's kind of part of using medicines. | ||
| And you'd learn to deal with them or adjust the medication accordingly. | ||
| Do you know what's crazy? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's that? | |
| My medication? | ||
| I'm on 600 milligrams of Lamictal, which is... | ||
| Theoretically, an okay dose. | ||
| It causes autism. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| Isn't that crazy? | ||
| Wait, wait. | ||
| I'm so autistic. | ||
| Are you parodying Ed here? | ||
| I am. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm trying to go further than him, and you can't without being just ridiculous. | ||
| Yeah, you even... | ||
| You can't parody something that is so beyond... | ||
| What do you say to that? | ||
| Ed, coming from you, I almost believed that. | ||
| I was like, well, you know. | ||
| Like, that's a hypothetical side effect of... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, that's not how that works. | ||
| Why the fuck would it be? | ||
| Of course not. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's not how autism works. | ||
| That's not how medication works. | ||
| So, in this next clip, they talk more about the mind control aspects of medication. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| And then they try and make you really scared of doctors, period. | ||
| And it ends with something that seems kind of like... | ||
| You shouldn't need their help. | ||
| The number one cause of death in hospitals is Dr. Error. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| And MRSA. | ||
| And Jenny, who is a nurse that murders people. | ||
| Yeah, she's the angel of death. | ||
| She's the angel of death, Jenny. | ||
| So this clip ends with something that seems kind of jocular, but it's really funny when you know what I want to remind you at the end of this. | ||
| Let's get back into the coloring book. | ||
| Our audience knows this. | ||
| What do they do to get the word out that the next big rollout phase is here? | ||
| And by the way, we did find the 911 tape he's talking about. | ||
| It's chilling. | ||
| We're going to play it after the break. | ||
| So Dr. Group Ed had said before this that he had heard a 911 call of someone calling in to the police to admit that he had just killed his children. | ||
| And I don't know why you would ever want to listen to that or play it on the show. | ||
| I turned it off before they ever played it, if they did, because I would never want to hear that. | ||
| I don't care for that, but I mean... | ||
| Is that another one of those... | ||
| That's what they're referencing. | ||
| Is that one of those somnambulism situations where he was taking some kind of prescribed sleeping pill and... | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| That has happened in the past. | ||
| Oh, sure. | ||
| I've taken sleeping pills and like... | ||
| Wound up somewhere. | ||
| Never killed children, but I have absolutely had situations like, oh boy. | ||
| It is a possible thing. | ||
| It has happened before. | ||
| Let me tell you this. | ||
| Ed does not go very heavy on the details. | ||
| He does not explain too much what the situation is. | ||
| But that, just for reference, what they're talking about there. | ||
| Just to illustrate what we're up against. | ||
| Totally normal people get put on these drugs. | ||
| They don't even tell you when you get them that it's a 33% increase in early death. | ||
| So I looked into this. | ||
| I googled 33% increased risk of death with drugs. | ||
| And all of these statistics that I could find that matched the 33%, the drugs, it was about overdoses. | ||
| They have gone up 33% since a couple years back. | ||
| Since the opioid crisis hit. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So in the last 10 years or so, 33% increase in overdose deaths. | ||
| I also found some studies about basically antipsychotics. | ||
| Greatly reduce death rates in people who are schizophrenic. | ||
| Absolutely kept me from dying. | ||
| Yeah, and me as well. | ||
| Not antipsychotics, but antidepressants at times in my life, 100%. | ||
| But at the same time, every single study that you find, if you actually look at it, they make very clear that in no way could you study what would have happened if someone wasn't on the drug. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| So anytime you're trying to cite, like, this increases a risk of death, untreated mental illnesses... | ||
| Especially ones that have schizophrenic tendencies or depression. | ||
| I mean, depression has a very high likelihood of you hurting yourself. | ||
| So the potential for what is being missed by Alex's rhetoric is everything. | ||
| It's everything. | ||
| If Alex quotes a study, he is lying about it. | ||
| That is a 100% chance. | ||
| That's the result of our study that we've been doing. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Which will be peer-reviewed. | ||
| That a massive increase in psychotic breaks, megalomania, mass murder. | ||
| It says it on the insert because it is a hallucinogen system. | ||
| But instead of seeing pink elephants and stuff, folks, you don't go into full hallucination. | ||
| You go into a subconscious realm in between consciousness and unconsciousness. | ||
| You go into a dream state. | ||
| It's a highly suggestible mind control drugs. | ||
| This is a fact. | ||
| It says it on the inserts. | ||
| Yes, it does. | ||
| So basically, just to go back to the coloring book, I'll just show you the last few pages, which is sickening. | ||
| Chris's mommy took Chris to a special doctor. | ||
| So just real quick, it's a coloring book, and it's for children, and it's just animals. | ||
| It's like anthropomorphized animals going about their day and going to a therapist. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| It's nothing. | ||
| They make it so creepy. | ||
| It's so fucked up. | ||
| But it's nothing really out of the ordinary that you would see probably, I mean, you'd see it at a doctor's office. | ||
| It makes sense to have kids exposed to the ideas of, hey, if you feel weird, there might be help for you. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That sort of thing would have been incredibly helpful for most of the people I've ever met. | ||
| I mean, hey, my family didn't even believe in psychiatrists and psychiatric medicine for so long that it... | ||
| Did a lot of damage to me. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And if only they had read a children's book. | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| I can help you. | ||
| Everything's going to be okay. | ||
| This doctor asked Chris questions about how Chris felt and gave Chris some medicine. | ||
| Isn't that nice that eats holes in their brain? | ||
| Here's something way worse than cocaine and heroin. | ||
| Totally deadly. | ||
| Now Chris takes medicine every day. | ||
| And Chris goes to see a special person to play and talk. | ||
| By the way, most sexual crimes are actually done with psychiatrists because of medication. | ||
| They get to know the children. | ||
| It is absolutely sick. | ||
| I know they can control the whole deal. | ||
| I don't want to lump all the psychiatrists. | ||
| There are a lot of good people. | ||
| And Carl Jung was a great guy. | ||
| The point is there's big pharma trying to find bad people. | ||
| Like, I've been in a clinic. | ||
| You know, just to get a checkup or whatever. | ||
| And you'll see the most gorgeous supermodel woman. | ||
| I've seen this like twice. | ||
| I go, who is that? | ||
| And they go, oh, that's the drug rep. | ||
| And you've got the doctors eating out of their hands. | ||
| And the word is, they don't just give them little bonuses and stuff. | ||
| The doctors that get the big bonuses, they get the sugar. | ||
| So I think he's been watching House. | ||
| Now, one, he is right. | ||
| Drug reps are... | ||
| But I don't think they're prostitutes. | ||
| No, they are usually not prostitutes. | ||
| They're very hot for the manipulative reason, usually. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| He was doing great, and then he was like, and then you get to fuck him, and it's like, no, no, you shouldn't. | ||
| It's not like you needed more. | ||
| I'm willing to bet that that has happened occasionally, but that's not the... | ||
| It's the exception, not the rule. | ||
| Yeah, who cares if, like... | ||
| No, you don't need that part. | ||
| It's bad enough already that they are using that influence to give people drugs that maybe they wouldn't otherwise have because of the drug reps, because they do get kickbacks. | ||
| I worked in a medical field for a long time, and I'll tell you right now, they do get kickbacks. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| And the idea that... | ||
| Most sexual crimes are being done by psychiatrists. | ||
| Oh, I can't even breathe. | ||
| There's an article here in the Atlantic Journal-Constitution. | ||
| They analyzed more than 100,000 disciplinary documents and other records from across the country to find cases that may have involved people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Of people who were sanctioned for violations that clearly involved patients. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So that 2,400 out of 100,000 is a small percentage of the 100,000. | ||
| And it's also 2,400 since 1999 is an incredibly small percentage of sex crimes. | ||
| Wait. | ||
| That's total? | ||
| It's not per 100,000. | ||
| It's over that time span. | ||
| There have been 100,000? | ||
| I'm sure there are other... | ||
| I mean, there have been other... | ||
| They didn't look at every single complaint at every hospital. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| But it should give you some sense of scale. | ||
| Now, that said, though, there are... | ||
| How many could have gone unreported? | ||
| Tons. | ||
| But that's going to be fairly difficult. | ||
| Look... | ||
| And let me tell you something. | ||
| I'm going to go out on a limb here. | ||
| And I'm going to say... | ||
| Far less likely that it was drugs, far more likely that it's toxic masculinity. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But the thing I really want to peel out of this is that those numbers cannot make up a majority of sexual assaults and crimes. | ||
| Simply not possible. | ||
| No. | ||
| Dr. Group is pulling shit out of his ass now. | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| Here's how this clip ends. | ||
| They've just talked about the drug reps having sex, and here's how it ends. | ||
| So they're using sex. | ||
| No, you didn't know about this? | ||
| It's been in the news that the drug reps are basically prostitutes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| No, no. | ||
| It's serious. | ||
| I mean, have you ever had them want to take care of you? | ||
| No, because I don't deal with drugs. | ||
| Here's why. | ||
| No, because I don't use real medicine. | ||
| Here, I'm not a doctor. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I can't prescribe anything. | ||
| That's why no drug rep has ever tried to fuck me. | ||
| I think Alex might have realized he went down the wrong road there. | ||
| Like, Dr. Group has no reason. | ||
| Yeah, there aren't any ginkgo biloba reps. | ||
| That's the only thing that would be possible. | ||
| Or colloidal iodine reps. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| You're talking to some guy who owns a drilling operation. | ||
| Not some... | ||
| Fucking bombshell. | ||
| I make the deep earth iodine. | ||
| So this next clip, we can pause it whenever we need to, but it's a little bit long. | ||
| There was no way for me to cut it down at all. | ||
| Without destroying the context? | ||
| Yes, because in this next clip, they bring out the coloring book. | ||
| And Alex editorializes on it in one of the most inappropriate fashions he is capable of. | ||
| It is gross. | ||
| And here we go. | ||
| You're listening to The Alex Jones Show. | ||
| I'm Alex Jones, your host, and I'm hopping mad. | ||
| They have the new Freedom Initiative. | ||
| It's bipartisan. | ||
| They want to drug our children. | ||
| They have liability protection for the vaccines. | ||
| Now they want it for the antipsychotics, for the psychotropics. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| And it's on the insert that it causes psychotic breaks. | ||
| We've been over this, but I just want to reiterate the reason that they have that protection for vaccine companies is because of people like Alex. | ||
| It's because of people who cause anti-vaccination panic. | ||
| It's because of demagogues who use that as another, you know, monster of the week. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It's 100% in order to make sure that... | ||
| Medical progress continues. | ||
| Imagine how much research would be destroyed, how much good would be gone if people listened to Alex Jones. | ||
| Dark ages, man. | ||
| It would just be plagues everywhere. | ||
| Like the idea of all these potential side effects mean you shouldn't take medication that could save your life. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or save other people's lives if you have a psychotic break or something. | |
| How many people die because they go to a holistic medicine like Dr. Group or Ed Group? | ||
| Ed Group, the science poop. | ||
| It's not even really science. | ||
| No. | ||
| But I'm saying that that is a direct analog to... | ||
| If we didn't vaccinate people because of potential side effects, you'd have everyone with smallpox. | ||
| Humanity would be dead. | ||
| Which, at this point... | ||
| Bring it. | ||
| At this point, yeah, maybe vaccines are bad. | ||
| Maybe we should have culled. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anyway, let's get to this coloring book. | ||
| It's on the insert. | ||
| Also, I want to say this. | ||
| What insert? | ||
| Alex is obsessed with the inserts that come with medications. | ||
| You know, he talks about it with the vaccines all the time. | ||
| He's like, no, no, no. | ||
| Not the insert that you can find online. | ||
| The thin papered one that comes with the vial at the doctor's office. | ||
| It says basically all the exact same stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And, you know, if you get a prescription or something, it has that really long... | ||
| Paper that most people don't ever read, but you can. | ||
| It's there. | ||
| That's the insert that has all the secret information about how it's going to kill you. | ||
| But the reason I paused, the reason I wanted to pause this is in preparation for this episode, I was doing a little bit of research, and it turns out that adult coloring books are highly recommended. | ||
| By psychiatrists. | ||
| Yeah, they're very good. | ||
| And psychologists, yeah. | ||
| Apparently it's one thing that is really therapeutic that people just never really pay attention to. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So if you want to go get a coloring book, that's a Knowledge Fight approved recommendation. | ||
| If they had a CBT coloring book, that would have made me far more likely to do those worksheets. | ||
| Cog and ball torture? | ||
| No. | ||
| What? | ||
| Cognitive behavioral therapy. | ||
| Fuck you. | ||
| Also, that would be a great name for it. | ||
| Let's make a Knowledge Fight coloring book. | ||
| Let's make a knowledge fight cock and ball torch. | ||
| No. | ||
| That it makes you kill your family. | ||
| That it takes away the impulse control that people normally would have. | ||
| Like, you're going to have a great time on acid until you have a bad trip. | ||
| It's in the same class. | ||
| You just don't see funny colors and stuff, though. | ||
| A lot of folks get the wrong balance of the medication. | ||
| And yeah, you can have some really crazy people. | ||
| This stuff might actually help them. | ||
| They've got studies that ecstasy is, you know, helping people. | ||
| MDMA or whatever it's called. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| Big studies for PTSD. | ||
| But not when you're taking it every day. | ||
| No one does. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| And the point is, you put tens of millions of people on this, it can get explosive. | ||
| So let's go over this. | ||
| Chris, are you sad? | ||
| Oh, look, Chris is sad. | ||
| Crying. | ||
| Oh, the school blush. | ||
| In the morning, Alex goes to school on the big yellow bus. | ||
| Chris's mom brings Chris to daycare and then goes to work. | ||
| Have a good day. | ||
| I'll see you at home. | ||
| Good mommy. | ||
| She's not with her kids. | ||
| We're not saying moms are bad to do that. | ||
| This is propaganda. | ||
| Daddy picks up Chris at daycare. | ||
| Yay! | ||
| Send the kid to daycare. | ||
| Daddy drives Chris home. | ||
| Maybe if we didn't all have to work. | ||
| After all that driving to daycare, I'd be depressed. | ||
| One day, mommy noticed that Chris looked sad and was not having a fun day. | ||
| Not that he might be sick, not that he might have allergies, not that he might have a little blood sugar. | ||
| No, we better take you to a teddy bear in the back of a truck. | ||
| So, the doctor is a teddy bear, but the thing that Alex is expressing here is, I don't know how exactly I want to phrase this, but how I would put it is, he's super into personal responsibility and what have you, and he's not believing that people are capable of being decent parents. | ||
| Because he's assuming that, oh, my kid doesn't feel good. | ||
| Let's take him to the therapist. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| As opposed to those things being checked off the list. | ||
| Before you explore that option. | ||
| Look, maybe he needs a Snickers or something like that. | ||
| That's absurd. | ||
| Yeah, what he's describing is Munchausen's by proxy. | ||
| Basically, and just a complete lack of trust in people's ability to live their lives. | ||
| Right. | ||
| When all he wants is everyone to just live their lives. | ||
| Well, everybody doesn't live their lives the way he wants everybody to live their lives. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So they're doing it wrong. | ||
| And he doesn't want people to have the option of going to a therapist or a psychiatrist. | ||
| Which, for somebody who's all about personal freedom... | ||
| Doesn't seem like it matches up at all. | ||
| This is philosophically very muddy. | ||
| It's more he's an idiot. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| He's fucking stupid. | ||
| Mommy remembered that Chris' best friend Pat moved away. | ||
| Oh, because the friend moved, you need drugs. | ||
| Chris was sad. | ||
| We've got something that will eat your brain and reduce your life expectancy by 33%. | ||
| It's liberal, though. | ||
| But this time, Chris was very sad for a long time. | ||
| Oh, you lean over at the end, you get ice cream because you want the drugs. | ||
| Chris cried a lot when mommy asked, why, Chris? | ||
| Said, I don't know. | ||
| Chris acted grouchy most of the time. | ||
| Oh, he was bad. | ||
| Grouchy is a symptom of, you know... | ||
| It wasn't red dye. | ||
| It wasn't too much TV. | ||
| It wasn't enough time with parents. | ||
| It wasn't just normal acting out needs discipline. | ||
| You need hardcore psychotic drugs. | ||
| You just should hit them. | ||
| Because they have antipsychotics. | ||
| He's making you psychotic. | ||
| Chris didn't feel like eating even the dessert. | ||
| Oh, Chris had trouble sleeping. | ||
| Oh, my gosh. | ||
| Mommy and Daddy sat down. | ||
| It's not that Chris wasn't playing outside anymore and watching TV all day. | ||
| No, it was that he needed hardcore drugs. | ||
| Eat holes in your brain. | ||
| Everyone feels sad sometimes, but you've been very sad for a very long time. | ||
| We want to help you feel happy again. | ||
| Oh, how sick this is. | ||
| You know, I can't begin to describe how much I hate this because I remember when I was a kid, I was probably 12 or 13 at the time. | ||
| And my family didn't believe in any kind of psychiatry. | ||
| So I had a complete manic episode and got into a fight with my parents. | ||
| And what wound up happening is I went back into my room and I found every picture that had me in it. | ||
| And I scratched out. | ||
| Uh, my face. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Like, and they couldn't deal with that, so I got punished. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I remember I have had... | ||
| Alex Jones says you just need discipline. | ||
| I just need discipline. | ||
| Yeah, I had, uh, I've, I... | ||
| I basically slept for three days. | ||
| And they couldn't deal with that, so I got punished. | ||
| What kind of fucking lunatic is like, well, this just needs to be beaten out of you? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Spare the rod, spoil the child. | ||
| And that's what those fuckers believe. | ||
| And it damaged me. | ||
| I didn't even go get help until I was... | ||
| You slept for three days, maybe you just need to go outside. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I didn't even get help until I was 22 because of this bullshit. | ||
| And my life... | ||
| Life would have been immeasurably better had I actually done something about it when I was a child. | ||
| Yeah, it's one of the real tragedies that you're expressing, and I can definitely relate to in many ways, is when there's stigmatization of mental health issues, or in my case, almost novelty-ization. | ||
| I don't know how to describe it. | ||
| It's not really important. | ||
| But you end up wasting so much time in your life. | ||
| And you end up, like you said, 22. I was probably around the same age when things became more serious for me. | ||
| Or at least I took a little responsibility. | ||
| Although, quite frankly, it might be 33. Realistically, when I grew up. | ||
| But there's so much lost time. | ||
| There's so much time that people who don't... | ||
| Struggle with these sorts of things. | ||
| They don't have... | ||
| Like, they got there early time. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And without these negative impulses and these negative narratives around mental health, you could save a lot of people from a lot of wasted time. | ||
| There's so much that I've ruined. | ||
| There's so many bridges that I've burned. | ||
| There's so much that could have been averted had I not... | ||
| Been a fucking insane person. | ||
| That wasn't your fault. | ||
| I know. | ||
| And it wasn't your choice. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But Alex wants to make it your choice. | ||
| And I don't blame my parents for it. | ||
| I blame their dumb fuck religion that they still fucking believe in and they should fucking stop. | ||
| But that's a longer conversation. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Anyways, all religion is a lie. | ||
| Now who's doing takes to the camera? | ||
| I had to. | ||
| I had to do one take to the camera. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I mean, you know, it is on one. | ||
| And your parents' fault, but on a much bigger and more important version of it, it's the ideology's fault. | ||
| It's the influence, again, of propaganda. | ||
| It's the ideology. | ||
| And the ideology, as it relates to this, is the same stuff that Alex Jones is spouting. | ||
| He's bordering on Christian scientists at times. | ||
| He's bordering on sovereign citizenship. | ||
| Scientologists. | ||
| He's all over the place, to a really scary extent. | ||
| But anyway, he's not done with the coloring book. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Great. | |
| And I'm telling you... | ||
| It gets worse. | ||
| How can you not be done with a coloring book? | ||
| Anyways. | ||
| There's a drug dealer who looks like a teddy bear. | ||
| Now get in the back of the white truck. | ||
| It's alright. | ||
| To the opposite of, don't get in the back of the truck when a guy offers you a teddy bear or a puppy or ice cream. | ||
| Now go to this room with this man named Joseph Mingala. | ||
| Chris's mommy took Chris to a special doctor who looked like a teddy bear. | ||
| He said, I can help you. | ||
| That's not creepy. | ||
| The doctor asked Chris questions about how Chris felt and gave... | ||
| Chris, some special medicine, and now he sees stars, and so fun as his brain dies. | ||
| That actually does sound fun. | ||
| Anything that's written for children sounds dumb in an adult's mouth. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Especially if you're trying to be creepy. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Oh, he went to a doctor. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| This is pathetic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he got some medicine. | |
| We still have another minute. | ||
| Jesus. | ||
| Thank you, Mommy. | ||
| Now Chris takes medicine every day and sees the happy colors. | ||
| Chris isn't growing a lot. | ||
| Big zits all over his body. | ||
| And he started having convulsions last week, but now we just put him on extra drugs. | ||
| And now, oh, mommy likes them too. | ||
| Mommy likes them. | ||
| And Chris goes to see a special person to play and talk. | ||
| Looks like a person out of The Shining. | ||
| Oh! | ||
| And then Chris thinks about just letting his wrist or hanging himself now, because now they've got the death education. | ||
| After a while, Chris is sleeping better. | ||
| Chris feels like eating again. | ||
| Oh, he sleeps good, just like the sanitarium. | ||
| And he loves his ice cream. | ||
| His tongue's hanging out. | ||
| He isn't getting grouchy all the time now. | ||
| Chris likes to play again. | ||
| Chris is dead. | ||
| His soul's gone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Libra! | |
| Libra! | ||
| Salon says pedophilia's good. | ||
| The deputy pope likes to traffic children. | ||
| Hail Satan! | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The deputy pope does? | ||
| There was a thing that came out about the deputy pope who may or may not have had some involvement. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Catholic Church is wildly evil. | ||
| To a great extent. | ||
| I assume the worst about the Catholic Church. | ||
| Until proven otherwise, they're all on notice. | ||
| They're all suspect. | ||
| And I don't know if you'd really characterize the Catholic Church as liberal. | ||
| Yeah, I definitely wouldn't. | ||
| Be that as it may. | ||
| Even the super nice Pope is like, let's not murder gays. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You're not quite there, super nice Pope. | ||
| He's only cool Pope because the last one was a Nazi. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And all the rest of them have not been much better. | ||
| No. | ||
| So that's just such a load of shit. | ||
| Alex, I know he had nothing. | ||
| And Dr. Group comes in with this coloring book and he's like... | ||
| Fuck yeah, let's fill some time. | ||
| I can editorialize on this like crazy. | ||
| I don't want to talk about Manafort stuff. | ||
| Fuck that. | ||
| Also, you missed this. | ||
| Paul Manafort, Alex's narrative about him is that Mueller has got to him. | ||
| And he's like, I mean, yeah. | ||
| But he doesn't have anything. | ||
| So Mueller approaches him and he's like, you better start making some shit up about Trump or else we're going to diesel you. | ||
| We're going to fucking torture you until your legs pop. | ||
| So Alex is... | ||
| I am not against that. | ||
| But Alex's version of it is that he's being told he needs to lie about Trump or else he's going to be tortured to death. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Which seems very reasonable. | ||
| Very likely. | ||
| Look, with our FBI and intelligence agencies, they've tortured plenty of people to death. | ||
| Fucking the CPD has tortured plenty of people to death, so I don't care. | ||
| We went over this on the episode with Drees that had technical difficulties and shit, but the point that I made, and I stand by, is that Paul Manafort would never be tortured because he's a multi-millionaire. | ||
| There's no way... | ||
| Someone like him with the connections he has is ever going to be touched. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Necessarily. | ||
| Hey, maybe it's a problem. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Maybe money is an issue. | ||
| It is. | ||
| So we have one more clip here from the 20th, and it's where I turned it off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It wasn't like a rage turnoff or anything. | ||
| It was just like, I get the point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| This is going to get better. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| This is where I checked out. | ||
| Waging war on corruption. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's Alex Jones coming to you live on the front lines of the Infowar. | |
| It says right here, 33% increase in death. | ||
| But see, that's when you die. | ||
| The friendly teddy bear taught me how to have pustules all over my body and start withering away and giving me deadly drugs that say they can cause me to murder my mommy and daddy. | ||
| But it's liberal, so it's okay. | ||
| And we're going to make money. | ||
| Sorry, Grip. | ||
| I've been taking over. | ||
| You go ahead now. | ||
| Sorry, Ed. | ||
| No, I mean... | ||
| Wait for the interruption. | ||
| It's just a warning to everybody out there. | ||
| This is like a... | ||
| This is not a prime pitch for pedophilia. | ||
| It's like white trucks pulled up. | ||
| They got ice cream. | ||
| They got puppies. | ||
| They got teddy bears. | ||
| Get in the back, kid. | ||
| You see a clown down in a gutter. | ||
| He wants to give you some drugs. | ||
| Take him. | ||
| You see Pennywise? | ||
| He's actually a nice guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alex Jones is a bad guy with that Dr. Group. | |
| You sad? | ||
| Little Georgie, stick your hand down this drainage chute. | ||
| You're going to like it when I tear it off at the elbow. | ||
| Sorry, group. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| Anybody who's trying to help anybody is bad, Alex. | ||
| I mean, that's our job. | ||
| Even like the John Oliver show and all that stuff. | ||
| They're saying all that stuff about our supplements. | ||
| I want to see how many people John Oliver has helped. | ||
| I want to see if John Oliver can even get into MIT, which they said I didn't even... | ||
| John Oliver's such a coward. | ||
| He'll have kids, shoot them up with vaccines, watch them have convulsions, and he'll celebrate it. | ||
| I'm telling you, they're the type that would never even say they made a mistake. | ||
| Sorry, go ahead. | ||
| I love the complicated relationship between interrupting and then feeling bad about interrupting. | ||
| I love that vacillation that Alex has. | ||
| But yeah, I was just like, alright, I get it. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| We're just gonna do anti-vax, anti-medicine stuff. | ||
| I'll tune in tomorrow. | ||
| You guys have fun. | ||
| I know it seems like... | ||
| I guess it's just that as much as awful as he is all the time... | ||
| This just depresses me because it hits home. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know, it's so close to me. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And there's so many times that I can have a distance. | ||
| Like, as much as I fucking hate his white nationalist bullshit, at the same time, I'm raging at that in an intellectual level. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Because I can't experience it. | ||
| I don't have that physical reaction to it. | ||
| No, I know. | ||
| If things went real bad, if you weren't on your meds. | ||
| If I was, yeah, that's a good point. | ||
| You might end up in some internet forum that ends up turning you into a white nationalist. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| There's a whole possibility. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Any of us. | ||
| Or if I was Alex, I could experience racism from other races on me. | ||
| That's entirely possible. | ||
| Again, if you were off your meds, you might experience that. | ||
| Seems like that's the main reason Alex experiences it, because he never got on his meds. | ||
| That's the other thing that I wanted to point out. | ||
| So much of this smacks to me as someone who recognizes on an emotional level that they're mentally ill. | ||
| And can't allow themselves to understand it because of pride, because of ego, whatever the particular thing is. | ||
| What I hear from Alex is so much of like, maybe he went to a doctor when he was a kid, or something like that, and it didn't take, or he wasn't engaged with the process, or maybe at some point in his life, maybe not even as a kid, and he's bitter about it still. | ||
| And he's like, they couldn't fix me, they can't do shit! | ||
| Or something like that. | ||
| I mean, that is also, like, I've been to three different psychiatrists to work shit out. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| That's what everyone does. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| If I had that inclination, I could have been like, well, psychiatry doesn't work, so I'm out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And I would have gone to Ed Group. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The Global Healing Center. | ||
| Yeah, no kidding. | ||
| I mean, I'm even susceptible to that to a certain extent. | ||
| Like, I have my periods where I'm just like, well, nothing's ever going to work. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And, you know. | ||
| But I might be being way too empathic and trying to apply humanity to Alex where it does not exist. | ||
| He's a piece of shit. | ||
| And he should go fuck himself. | ||
| I'm with you. | ||
| But he's also a human. | ||
| I've stopped believing that. | ||
| I genuinely have. | ||
| I've stopped believing that. | ||
| He lost his humanity card a while back for me. | ||
| I meant he's a mortal flesh and blood person. | ||
| He's an ape. | ||
| He's an animal. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| Even if you're an ape, input leads to output. | ||
| And so when we experience an output, I always try and figure out... | ||
| Why is this the output? | ||
| What happened? | ||
| Or what would lead one to this? | ||
| And obviously, with the vaccination stuff, with almost every narrative he has, he's illiterate and he doesn't know what he's reading. | ||
| He's misinterpreting things or he's allowing propaganda to sway him. | ||
| Or he's deliberately lying about them. | ||
| Right, that's entirely possible too. | ||
| But that opens up the other section. | ||
| Of the mystery, which is, if he's lying, why is he lying? | ||
| What is the motivation? | ||
| Because I don't think that somebody necessarily... | ||
| Just for fun would want to lie about vaccines. | ||
| I mean, if you have a lot of money in a group's bullshit being sold, then of course you're going to advertise that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| All other medicine doesn't work. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| That could be it. | ||
| It could be crash commercialism. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| Anyway, that's just something. | ||
| Could be all of those wrapped up in one. | ||
| It could be. | ||
| It could be. | ||
| And it could be just a broken person who doesn't know how to fix himself. | ||
| And Supermail is not helping. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| A sociopathic monster. | ||
| So now we go on to the 21st, and things get a little weird on the 21st of September 2017, because Media Matters has come out with an article that Alex spends almost the entire show misunderstanding. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And we'll get to that after Alex rambles about pilgrims to the stars. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| We are the resistance. | ||
| We are the InfoWars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We are the InfoWars. | |
| And that intro that we just played is almost four years old. | ||
| Make a new one. | ||
| And I've got intros from 15 years ago saying we are the resistance. | ||
| We are the information war. | ||
| We're going to identify the authoritarian system of globalism. | ||
| We're going to speak out against it. | ||
| We're going to raise the alarm as modern-day Paul Revere's across the globe. | ||
| So, also, Alex is really pissed off. | ||
| Paul Revere was a shit alarm. | ||
| There was a woman who did twice as much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Guess why? | |
| She was scrubbed out of history. | ||
| Interesting that you bring that up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Because why Alex Jones is calling himself Paul Revere is because yesterday... | ||
| It's because he's largely ineffectual and boring. | ||
| Well, yesterday, Hillary Clinton, an interview with her, came out and said that she was trying to be a Paul Revere for issues like cybersecurity and stuff like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| And so Alex is furious that she's like, no, I'm Paul Revere. | ||
| Like, all right. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Who fucking cares? | ||
| I'm the swamp fox! | ||
| I'm petty! | ||
| And we are going to reinstitute the free market, capitalist, nation-state system of renaissance, prosperity, and the long march to the stars. | ||
| He did not know how poorly people lived during the renaissance, does he? | ||
| He doesn't know that at all. | ||
| No. | ||
| He might be talking about the Harlem renaissance. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I don't think he understands who Webb Dubois is. | ||
| I also want to point out this entire intro until he gets to the part about Drudge. | ||
| He's looking around and clearly filling time. | ||
| He's like, the producer has stepped away from the board or something like that. | ||
| He's like, I don't know what's going on. | ||
| I have no cues. | ||
| I'm just going to talk about going to the stars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| All right. | ||
| The long, glorious... | ||
| Pioneer march to the stars and unlocking the secrets of the universe. | ||
| And the globalists, they don't want that. | ||
| They think they've already got the secrets. | ||
| They've already got their AI. | ||
| They want to wall us off from the future. | ||
| But ladies and gentlemen, that's not going to happen. | ||
| And now these enemies of progress, these enemies of freedom, these enemies of America, these enemies of Western civilization and Christianity that are in control of our governments are saying, That once freedom is a Russian agent, because we couldn't think for ourselves, we couldn't vote against Hillary. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| DrudgeReport.com. | ||
| Media Matters. | ||
| That's George Soros, the Nazi collaborator. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Drudge infected America with Russian propaganda. | ||
| And I guess he infected it with the New York Times, the Washington Post, and CNN. | ||
| He links to everything. | ||
| But there it is. | ||
| And they track how he linked to Interfax, ITAR, TAS, and Pravda. | ||
| And he linked to the Japanese and Chinese and Mexican news, too. | ||
| And he linked to all their reports. | ||
| Just like he links to the Media Matters report right there. | ||
| I guess he's infecting us with Media Matters. | ||
| So, this is an article that has come out on Media Matters. | ||
| And what they did. | ||
| As they reviewed a lot of the links that have happened over the course of 2012 to 2017. | ||
| And they found that there was a substantial jump in links to Russian state-owned media sources in 2016. | ||
| It's a jump from... | ||
| What is this? | ||
| About 80-85 in 2015 to 122 links in 2016. | ||
| And that's up from about 35-40 in 2014. | ||
| So those are massive jumps. | ||
| And they're all state-owned media sources. | ||
| It's not that... | ||
| It's just like, hey, a Russian newspaper. | ||
| So when he talks about the Mexican news and stuff like that, those aren't necessarily state-run operations. | ||
| That could just be a Mexican news source. | ||
| That's one of the reasons why this is particularly interesting as a study. | ||
| Secondly, the only thing that Alex says is like, he links to the New York Times, he links to X, Y, he does lots of links, which means he hasn't read the article. | ||
| Because the article isn't just that he links to all this stuff. | ||
| It's more important that they found that he... | ||
| Here, I'll just read this quote here. | ||
| Drudge has also regularly turned to RT and Sputnik for unskeptical coverage of statements from Putin and other Kremlin officials, including their denials of Russian election interference, their criticisms of the U.S. role in Syria, and their efforts to undermine NATO members. | ||
| And he's frequently highlighted the Russian outlet's favorite conspiracy theories and hysterics, including their reports on meetings of the mysterious Bilderberg Group, debunked claims that Google manipulated its search results to favor Clinton, and warnings of increased Western support of Satanism. | ||
| Drudge's affinity for Russian President Vladimir Putin and his propaganda outlets is undoubtedly a major asset for the Kremlin. | ||
| Drudge has a rare power as a media gatekeeper due to his unusual ability to push reporting from previously unknown outlets to a massive audience. | ||
| So, throughout, they give a lot of instances. | ||
| Like, all of these have links to what they're talking about. | ||
| And what it's really about is not that he made links. | ||
| It's that he supported the Russian propaganda narrative. | ||
| Of various incidents. | ||
| So you had, like, the one really good specific that they had in here was the Malaysian plane. | ||
| They talked about the shooting of the Malaysian plane. | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| On July 17, 2014, Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down over eastern Ukraine, killing 298 passengers and crew. | ||
| The next day, President Barack Obama alleged that the responsible parties were Russian-backed separatists, seizing territory in the region following Russia's annexation of Crimea. | ||
| Obama's statement came amid a furious effort by Russian propaganda outlets to foster confusion about the act. | ||
| In their telling, the tragedy had actually been a failed attempt by Ukrainians to shoot down President Vladimir Putin's plane. | ||
| R.T. Putin's plane might have been target in bright red text. | ||
| So not only is he linking to it, but it's going up as a huge signal boost. | ||
| Like on the Dredge Report, which I do my best never to visit, but I saw my dad go to. | ||
| There's always the big, giant, click on this, and then there's all those tons of little tiny ones down there. | ||
| It's called being red-linked. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, exactly. | ||
| So it's such bullshit to... | ||
| To even characterize it as, oh, he's just linking to it. | ||
| Like, he can really influence things by how he's linking to it. | ||
| And he writes the links. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He writes what the links say, and that changes. | ||
| Because idiots only read headlines. | ||
| I support things that are distasteful and awful. | ||
| I just wish that we had a... | ||
| A conversation in place that was much more realistic and much more... | ||
| Maybe the larger issue is that Alex is right whenever he says we don't think that they are capable of thinking for themselves because they're not. | ||
| Who's they? | ||
| People who go to drudge? | ||
| Yeah, basically. | ||
| I would say that. | ||
| But the bigger issue is that the article is not about how many links he put up or any of that stuff. | ||
| It is about the narratives. | ||
| It's about how he falls in line with the Russian version. | ||
| version of almost every story and how that has a trickle-down effect throughout right-wing media. | ||
| Alex Jones, Breitbart, all of them take massive cues from Breitbart and thus, From Drudge. | ||
| Oh, I'm sorry, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Thus, he is the purveyor, the bottleneck, as it were, where Russian propaganda ends up getting funneled and mainstreamed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's what the article is about, and it's very fair. | ||
| It is something that people need to deal with, quite frankly. | ||
| Well, I mean, whether or not it's actual collusion, it is that... | ||
| I'm not saying that necessarily. | ||
| No, no, no, I know, but it is that... | ||
| You have to go far outside of America to get your dumbass narrative support. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Because they are patently untrue. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, of course, Drudge has to link to RT because reality disagrees with him, and RT loves peddling a false reality. | ||
| That supports the Russian version of reality. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Or, well, their version of reality. | ||
| As Alexander Dugan has said, Russia has its own version of truth. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And has their own truth. | ||
| Because there is no objective reality, we have our own truth. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Something that I've been thinking about a lot, I've been dwelling on foreign policy a little bit. | ||
| And one of the things that has become incredibly clear to me is how wildly complicated everything is. | ||
| Like, you think about how Russia, or not Russia, excuse me, China supports North Korea, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you think about it, and most people, if they were hard-pressed to say why, it would just be like, well, they're both communist countries, and say it's my big brother, little brother kind of thing. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's what a lot of people would think. | ||
| Or it could be, by their support, it keeps North Korea from acting even crazier. | ||
| Well, that's one possibility. | ||
| Another possibility is that were North Korea to be, like, if they were... | ||
| This is one possibility. | ||
| You're speculating wild. | ||
| China supports North Korea. | ||
| North Korea wants to reunify Korea. | ||
| Korea, if reunified, would likely reject a U.S. military presence there. | ||
| And that would weaken Japan's status in the Asian sphere. | ||
| So there could be an entire thing going on where there's a domino effect. | ||
| Of China wanting to weaken Japan and get America out of their periphery. | ||
| And they do that by supporting North Korea. | ||
| What I'm getting at is all these things are possible and likely influences on things. | ||
| And there's a simplistic version and incredibly impossible to break down. | ||
| Reality. | ||
| It's like if you go to a recording studio and you see an actual soundboard and how huge it is. | ||
| The 10,000 knobs. | ||
| Yeah, and how it's like, oh, well, this knob changes something and then it changes that over there. | ||
| And there's so many interlocking effects. | ||
| I mean, if you look at my board, I've got way more effects than I know how to use. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And there's all kinds of different things that can be adjusted there just by changing a knob a tiny little bit. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So it's hard. | ||
| It's hard to find some sort of harmony there, which, continuing with my metaphor inexplicably, that without breaking something else. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Pushing too far on one thing is going to lose control or lose your grip on another. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Which is why nationalism is fucking stupid. | ||
| Very. | ||
| But the point that I'm getting at is when you look at the situation with Russia, like... | ||
| It's insane for anyone to think that they don't want to reunify the Soviet Union. | ||
| It's absurd. | ||
| It's naive. | ||
| Just from a geopolitical standpoint, it's if there is a narrative that involves them doing X. Like, let's say, annexing part of a farmhouse. | ||
| We know they have done it repeatedly. | ||
| They stole that fish song. | ||
| Yeah, they did. | ||
| They own it now. | ||
| Russia now has intellectual property to the butterfly surprise. | ||
| And the Northern Lights. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But when they do things like that, there's an explanation of, like, a Russian sympathetic explanation, and then there is a, they are trying to encroach and build back up their territory a little bit at a time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| When you have those two possibilities in front of you, you are incredibly irrational if you don't think the latter is the truth. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because think about it, man. | ||
| Let's imagine we lost the Cold War, right? | ||
| Or something like that. | ||
| I don't even know necessarily how we would have except for nuclear war. | ||
| But let's say the entire scenario was completely different and we end up losing an alternate reality Cold War where we lose the Western states. | ||
| The entire West Coast is gone. | ||
| And then, over the course of the next 50 years or so, we... | ||
| We've become slightly more part of the global community, but at the same time, we're a bit of a hostile actor, and we keep sort of stepping into Montana. | ||
| We keep taking a little bit of Montana. | ||
| Why would anyone think that we wouldn't want to reunify the United States? | ||
| Every single country... | ||
| I mean, we fought a war for it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Every single country that is a power that is split... | ||
| Ends up wanting to reunify. | ||
| What's amazing is that because of the narrative that has arisen about fucking the dumbest fuck president, Reagan, solving the Cold War, what people forget is the main reason that we won the Cold War is cooperation. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And Russia, or the Soviet Union... | ||
| Did not do that because they were obsessed with nationalism. | ||
| It was a triumph of global cooperation over nationalism. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Globalism. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Rather, the narrative has become it was a triumph of nationalism over another nation. | ||
| It was Reagan making a harsh demand. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And it's fucking stupid. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| The only way you're ever going to solve those sorts of problems and any of these... | ||
| Incredibly complicated foreign policy problems is pretty much getting large coalitions together to work in concert. | ||
| And very simply, one of the main reasons that we have the allies we do is because of our support for them and not our attacks on them. | ||
| Without our support following World War II... | ||
| Germany would absolutely be a shell. | ||
| Germany would be entirely part of the Soviet Union. | ||
| The same with Japan. | ||
| The way that we won those wars beyond the end of the war was we learned the lesson from World War I. The Treaty of Versailles was so punitive towards Germany. | ||
| That, of course, they were going to start another fucking war. | ||
| We figured out the lesson there and learned it. | ||
| And, of course, because all of the people who learned that lesson are dead, we have to learn it all over again. | ||
| Just like you and I were talking about, we are likely to see another nuke dropped in our lifetimes because people don't remember... | ||
| How monstrous it was. | ||
| It's tough to say, but it seems like the likelihood is increasing. | ||
| But I don't want to feed into that, because I think that a lot of people could hear that and get scared or take it the wrong way. | ||
| I think that we're probably as close as we've ever been in our lifetimes, at least. | ||
| And who knows? | ||
| But I still think that a lot of this is... | ||
| I think a lot of it has to still be posturing. | ||
| But be that as it may... | ||
| We would hope. | ||
| But be that as it may, with chaotic actors, there is the possibility that posturing accidentally leads to action. | ||
| I mean, the Petrov dude just died in May. | ||
| And we didn't find out about it until last week or whatever. | ||
| You're talking about the guy from the Soviet Union who stopped the end of the world. | ||
| Yeah, who stopped the end of the world single-handedly. | ||
| He got an alert that American rockets were coming in and he suspected it was a false alarm. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And because of that... | ||
| Had he not, goodbye. | ||
| Yeah, they would have launched. | ||
| That would have been it. | ||
| They would have launched. | ||
| There have been at least four examples of that during the Cold War of people just going like, maybe this isn't real. | ||
| And if you're North Korea, the likelihood of that, with an entirely brainwashed civilization, seems far less. | ||
| Where everyone is brought up to expect that attack. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It's tough to say, but be that as it may, let's get through this because you've got a show tonight. | ||
| This has been a fun conversation about foreign policy, but let's get into this next clip where Alex talks a little bit about sovereignty. | ||
| As he usually does. | ||
| And then has an interesting theory about a... | ||
| I guess he didn't die recently, but fairly recently dead prominent figure. | ||
| Seth Rich. | ||
| And so he pointed out, MSNBC worries Trump uses the word sovereign as a racist dog whistle. | ||
| They said it was over the top. | ||
| A loving, focused, good speech about free market and capitalism and brotherhood of humankind. | ||
| Right. | ||
| White. | ||
| Brotherhood of white. | ||
| I don't think that he's characterizing that speech correctly. | ||
| I mean, there was a lot of flowery rhetoric in it, and whoever wrote it did a decent job, except for, I think, the 30-odd instances of sovereignty being in it. | ||
| But be that as it may, it's not a friendly, loving speech when you're like, we might have to completely destroy your country. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which is a war crime. | ||
| He threatened to demolish... | ||
| A country. | ||
| Civilians. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Un-fucking-real. | ||
| It's like all the stuff about sovereignty that you can support, you really have to weigh that against the other stuff he said, right? | ||
| Nope, just sovereignty. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So anyway, he's mad that people are critiquing the use of sovereignty. | ||
| And then it gets into this. | ||
| All of this. | ||
| And they're like, oh, did you hear it? | ||
| Oh, the code words. | ||
| The code words like our government doesn't... | ||
| Have one-sided tariffs where all the jobs go to China? | ||
| Where there's slave factories? | ||
| So Apple can make billions more a day? | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| I mean, Apple's making billions a day or so. | ||
| Every couple days they make a billion dollars. | ||
| They've got suicide factories. | ||
| Maybe you don't know what free market means. | ||
| We're Apple. | ||
| We're liberal. | ||
| We said you were white supremacists. | ||
| Shut up about our death factories. | ||
| Shut up about 18-hour workdays, force drugging, robots we tried to bring in to replace people didn't work. | ||
| Shut up. | ||
| We've got hippie beards and act non-threatening. | ||
| When behind the scenes, they're psycho demons. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| Clearly they got rid of jobs because you wouldn't play games. | ||
| You know, against the American people, Jobs said, don't let your kids have iPads. | ||
| Don't let your kids watch TV. | ||
| It's ruining their brains. | ||
| Oh, here, here's some weaponized cancer, brother. | ||
| So, these people mean business. | ||
| He's saying that they hit him with some weaponized cancer and took him out. | ||
| Oh, is that what they did? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Gotcha. | ||
| I missed that part where they killed him. | ||
| Well, once you allow any kind of death to be murdered... | ||
| I thought maybe it was because he refused treatment for cancer because he was taking what might as well have been Ed Group's bullshit. | ||
| It might have been. | ||
| Yeah, it might as well have been, yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Super male vitality does not cure cancer is the lesson of Steve Jobs. | ||
| Something that Alex has had to say on air many times. | ||
| But I don't think that... | ||
| Our boy Steve Jobs, first of all, I don't think he said no one should have iPads and iPhones. | ||
| Pretty sure he said the very opposite of that. | ||
| I do recall, I haven't really looked into this too deeply, but I know that Alex's old version of it was that Steve Jobs said that his kids didn't have them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that he didn't want them to have it at a young age for whatever reason. | ||
| So he's even switched the narrative here to be he didn't want anyone to have them. | ||
| He came out and said they were bad and that's why they killed him. | ||
| It's been declassified. | ||
| They killed him with that fucking aggressive weapon cancer. | ||
| Bullshit. | ||
| Polonium poisoning. | ||
| So he has more thoughts about the Russia speech. | ||
| Oh, I slipped with the tongue there. | ||
| The UN speech. | ||
| And then he says some really awesome things about Russia. | ||
| He's bad and undermines the UN and the EU. | ||
| Yeah, big, bloated, corrupt, anti-free speech, anti-America, anti-Christian, pro-Islamic criminal organizations. | ||
| And they're the ones saying Trump's bad for wanting the country to be strong. | ||
| How obvious is it who the traitors are? | ||
| And Russia's crime is their sovereign and their Christian. | ||
| And they've pulled away from the clutches of the globalists. | ||
| And they've successfully repulsed. | ||
| Bolshevik Part 2 with Soros, and Soros wants the same Bolshevik revolution 100 years later. | ||
| They want it this October. | ||
| They had it planned with Hillary, and it's blown up in their stinking faces. | ||
| Let's go back to the clip of these absolute globalist operatives, enemy soldiers in the info war against America. | ||
| Liars, everyone. | ||
| Here they are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was just over the top. | |
| It was, you know, it caused me to go back through and count how many times. | ||
| And so he used that word sovereign or sovereignty 21 times. | ||
| It was definitely the word. | ||
| I mean, everyone... | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| It just means what he was talking about from the beginning, which is America first. | ||
| We're going to go it alone. | ||
| And every other nation should be independent and free to do what they want. | ||
| And we're all together to fight, you know, what he called the wicked. | ||
| The wicked few, I think he called it, the wicked ones. | ||
| Yeah, like ISIS, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, you know, that really undermines, to me, the UN, which is where he was today, NATO, EU, places like that, international bodies, he was really saying... | |
| Shut up by the globals, that's enough for her. | ||
| We know who the enemies are, and we're sick of you, and Hollywood's imploding, mainstream media's imploding, everyone who has any brain cells hates you. | ||
| In fact, most of your viewers know you're a fraud. | ||
| They want to be you and want to be con artists. | ||
| So they watch you like you're their mommy and they're under your black wings and they suck off your poisonous appendages. | ||
| Now, before I go any further, we need funding, and when we offer stuff, it's $50. | ||
| Holy shit! | ||
| Fuck you, Alex! | ||
| God damn it! | ||
| Isn't that great? | ||
| How sharp can you turn? | ||
| God damn! | ||
| Under their black wings, sucking poison from their appendages! | ||
| By the way, we need funding. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| A lot of stuff is 50% off right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah? | |
| Easter sale? | ||
| Yeah, totally. | ||
| Gotcha. | ||
| Probably the pre-Summer of Rage sale. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| That's some wild bullshit. | ||
| But also that, like, I mean, he's still peddling that narrative that Russia is great. | ||
| I mean, he's just coming out with it now. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And it's fascinating that this is on the same episode where he's doing that whole story about Drudge and how he's not in bed with Russia, but also Russia is fucking awesome. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It was great. | ||
| He should actually be more likely to say... | ||
| Like, if he didn't have to... | ||
| If he wasn't... | ||
| If he didn't have to fight... | ||
| If Media Matters didn't say it. | ||
| If it had been Breitbart who was like... | ||
| Look at how many articles Drudge has linked to. | ||
| Alex would have been like, look at how great it is that Drudge linked to all of these articles. | ||
| I would also argue that if Alex didn't, in his heart of hearts, suspect that something really fucked up was going on and he was a part of it, he would just be like, of course I like Russia! | ||
| Go fuck yourself! | ||
| He knows that something is... | ||
| Pretty fucked up. | ||
| Something's wrong. | ||
| I don't work for Russia. | ||
| I'm not involved with them, except until we get to this clip. | ||
| Oh, Jesus. | ||
| So again, I don't get my information from Russia. | ||
| Russia gets their information from me. | ||
| And I'm not bragging. | ||
| It's a fact. | ||
| They love Americana. | ||
| They want to be free. | ||
| They understand we sent the Bolsheviks over there. | ||
| It isn't that they actually... | ||
| Follow everything I say. | ||
| They just already know what I'm saying is true. | ||
| And it causes basically an affirmation. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| If they already know everything he says, how is it that they're getting their information from him? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is a logical, ridiculous... | |
| It's the same narrative that he spits about, like, the high end of the military loves me because they tune in because they already know the stuff I say. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I'm the only person who says it. | ||
| So they can hear me repeat what's true. | ||
| But they're not getting their news from him. | ||
| Right. | ||
| The news is what they already know. | ||
| But Alex doesn't have the news. | ||
| He doesn't do news. | ||
| So fucking stupid. | ||
| He does. | ||
| So fucking stupid. | ||
| He pitches pro-Russia narratives. | ||
| That's why people... | ||
| Who are into Russia would like him. | ||
| But this is an important distinction that we need to make, because whenever we talk about Russia stuff, we always try and be careful and express that the Russian people are great, and they're fine. | ||
| It's the people in charge who are... | ||
| I mean, except for the homophobic anti-gay gangs that murder people. | ||
| There are a bunch of them, and that sucks. | ||
| They're not great. | ||
| But a large proportion of the Russian people are just good people trying to get by. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the same way with the North Korean people. | |
| Right. | ||
| Even the ones who are brainwashed, we feel an immense pity for. | ||
| People are good. | ||
| Oligarchs are bad. | ||
| When Alex is talking about Russia, he's talking about the oligarchs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He's not talking about the people. | ||
| No. | ||
| He's talking about the government of Russia. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that is fucked up. | ||
| Here's the rest of this clip. | ||
| I'm going to scroll it back a tiny bit. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| They just already know what I'm saying is true, and it causes basically an affirmation to happen, and for people to have solidarity. | ||
| But, I mean, we've had top Putin advisors on talking about how InfoWars has changed Russia. | ||
| InfoWars has changed their view. | ||
| InfoWars has helped give them the big picture. | ||
| They've helped give us the big picture. | ||
| And all of us together, the UK. | ||
| Nigel Farage has said on this show three times that UKIP exploded after InfoWars went into the UK. | ||
| It's a fact. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're winning the war because of you, the listeners. | |
| White nationalist organization got so much larger after Infowars started spreading white nationalism. | ||
| Yeah, after we got our whole group of weirdos involved with them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But the other thing that, I mean, what we're experiencing there is the success of an influence campaign. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because these people, like Alexander Dugan and whoever Alex has talked to behind the scenes, have employed immense flattery. | ||
| In order to make him think that he is super important and he's changed Russia. | ||
| He's just spitting back things that they are using to manipulate him into being super accommodating of their narratives. | ||
| And maybe Drudge had the same thing happen to him. | ||
| It's possible that behind the scenes that might have happened there too. | ||
| Their interests just dovetailed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's the hard part. | ||
| Especially when we're talking about any kind of collusion narrative, it may just be... | ||
| The interests don't dovetail. | ||
| Russia doesn't want the Americana that Alex wants. | ||
| No, no, no, of course not. | ||
| But Russia wants nationalism, and Alex wants nationalism. | ||
| So ideologically, despite the fact that Russia is a hostile actor... | ||
| Ideologically, they line up. | ||
| What Alex Jones and Drudge don't understand is that they are also hostile actors towards America. | ||
| They're making America way worse. | ||
| And they don't get that because they think that they're making it better. | ||
| And that's because they're fucking stupid. | ||
| And they're hostile actors towards a cooperative global scene. | ||
| Yeah, they want... | ||
| Genuinely, they just want war. | ||
| That's what it seems like. | ||
| Right, and quite literally, an explicit piece of the nationalism that they would seek for the rest of the world would be Russia taking back the Soviet Union. | ||
| And then, obviously, not stopping there. | ||
| Yeah, of course. | ||
| Because if they take back the entire Soviet Union, they get Alaska. | ||
| If you get a mouse a cookie. | ||
| They get Alaska. | ||
| Oh, and then they're probably going to... | ||
| Hey, Canada looks pretty cool. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Oh, wait. | ||
| Russia is now at our borders. | ||
| And maybe... | ||
| A Russian Canada would be hilarious. | ||
| It would be wild. | ||
| That would be so funny. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I understand that I'm speaking in a wild hypothetical. | ||
| Oh, we're so sorry for taking Canada back. | ||
| We're so sorry for taking Montana back. | ||
| That dipped into Irish at the end there. | ||
| A little bit. | ||
| Yeah, not great. | ||
| But the thing that I'm troubled by is I have solidarity with Russia. | ||
| Him saying that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's weird. | ||
| So after this, Alex gets on to another narrative because he wants to make a little bit of a switch from all of this. | ||
| From being so blatantly pro-Russia. | ||
| Yeah, so he gets mad about Jimmy Kimmel. | ||
| Oh, Jimmy Kimmel, who's notoriously against letting kids die. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He's pretty mad about this, and he's not mad about the... | ||
| He doesn't play a clip of the stuff about the senator who lied to Jimmy Kimmel. | ||
| He plays a clip of Jimmy getting mad at a Fox News person for critiquing him for bringing his child into this discourse. | ||
| And so here's that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The only reason he's not a member of the Hollywood release is because nobody will hire him to be one. | |
| And you know, the reason I'm talking about this is because my son, an open heart surgery, did have two more. | ||
| And because of that, I learned that there are kids with no insurance in the same situation. | ||
| I don't get anything out of this, Brian, you phony little creep. | ||
| Oh, I'll do when I see you. | ||
| That is my blur. | ||
| Using his kid to sell a program that will bankrupt the country and take health care for more children. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Brian Kilmeade is a phony little creep. | |
| That's right. | ||
| So, two things. | ||
| One, Alex is about to respond to this, but two, Rex Jones, Alex's son, who was 13 at the time, at best, has done reports for Infowars.com. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Using his kid to force his narrative out there. | ||
| His other children, who are younger at the time... | ||
| Have appeared in a gorilla suit in a sketch mocking trans people on the Alex Jones show. | ||
| So please get off your goddamn high horse, Alex. | ||
| You're full of shit. | ||
| Oh, kids, don't bring your kids into this. | ||
| Fuck you. | ||
| Fuck you and your nonsense. | ||
| Now, do you think that Alex Jones can take that clip about Brian Kilmeade and Jimmy Kimmel saying he's a creep and turn it to be about him? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| I think he's got a gift for that. | ||
| Well, I want to tell Jimmy Kimmel something right now. | ||
| Brian Kilmeade has more viewers than you do. | ||
| A. Bullshit. | ||
| B. I've been in major Hollywood films, and I've been offered starring roles on HBO. | ||
| Starring roles on HBO! | ||
| Everything. | ||
| Everything. | ||
| And guess what I do now? | ||
| I don't even return the phone calls. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So he goes into a long rant. | ||
| Because those are drunk late night phone calls making fun of you, Alex. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Check the caller ID. | ||
| It's probably coming from Trump's room at Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| It's probably coming from Jimmy Kimmel back when he was on the man. | ||
| Or Roger Stone. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Trying to boost you up. | ||
| So the other thing, though, is that he goes from there into a long rant about how, like, what I want to be is the image of John Wayne. | ||
| Like, alright, I've turned down movies. | ||
| Everyone wants me to star in these westerns and spy thrillers starring roles. | ||
| I don't want to do that. | ||
| What I like to do is I like to go and be in a B-movie in Texas. | ||
| That's fun for me. | ||
| The only things on his fucking resume are the two Linklater movies and Amerigeddon. | ||
| So I don't know what he's talking about. | ||
| If he wants to call Amerigeddon a B-movie, I kind of agree. | ||
| I would not call it a B-movie. | ||
| A B-movie has Bruce Campbell in it. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| A D-movie has Alex Jones in it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or not a movie has Alex Jones in it. | ||
| Straight to video. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So it goes on for quite a while. | ||
| So I've cut out the middle where he's just sort of talking shit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
| And we get to this. | ||
| Where he's still talking about turning down offers, and then he gets really fucking creepy. | ||
| And any, you know, complaints that you have about Jimmy using his kids, I think they should be outweighed by how bad this is. | ||
| I don't want to go to any of them. | ||
| We've had offers before to go on these shows. | ||
| I'm not going... | ||
| I piss on your... | ||
| You're not real shows. | ||
| You're frauds. | ||
| You're crap. | ||
| You're the enemy. | ||
| You're cancer. | ||
| You're grandma dying of a heart attack. | ||
| You're grandpa with a brain tumor. | ||
| You're failure. | ||
| You're betrayal. | ||
| You're anathema. | ||
| You're a blaspheme. | ||
| Give two more examples. | ||
| At this point, he puts on a face like... | ||
| Kind of like that. | ||
| Either outraged or he's orgasmic at what he's about to say. | ||
| And I think it's the latter. | ||
| I don't want to hear what he's about to say. | ||
| And you will fall. | ||
| You're already falling right now. | ||
| I'm sorry for your son. | ||
| Did your wife take the vaccines? | ||
| Fuck you! | ||
| You been slurping that tap water? | ||
| Why don't you find out why this is happening? | ||
| Why don't you actually save other kids instead of using your kid to bring in socialism and globalist control? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now you're using his dick! | |
| You dumb moronic idiot! | ||
| Fuck you! | ||
| Fuck you! | ||
| Fucking un... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| God damn it, Alex! | ||
| You're the dumbest fucking person in the world! | ||
| Well, he doesn't understand logic. | ||
| He doesn't understand that which I was complaining about, I am now doing the worst version of. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jesus Christ. | |
| Yeah, I'm using your kid. | ||
| To fight against compassion. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because I hate it. | ||
| And to pitch my vaccine bullshit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's wild. | ||
| It's wild stuff. | ||
| I think he also threatens violence on Jimmy at some point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Great. | |
| Which is great, because the whole point was he was mad that Jimmy was threatening Brian Kilmeade. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| So we've got one more clip, and it's when our old friend Larry Nichols shows up. | ||
| Stevie Larry Nicks, coming back. | ||
| He shows up on the show and it's just a repeat of stuff he's already said. | ||
| It's a really boring interview until we get to this point. | ||
| And Larry Nichols says something on the air that I think is illegal. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I think this is illegal. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| I'm not a lawyer. | ||
| But I'm pretty sure that this is at very least a threat. | ||
| And we can discuss it on the other end once you hear it. | ||
| But I'm not comfortable with this being legal. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| They are all lockstep in mutiny. | ||
| So what do we the people do? | ||
| He's talking about Republicans in Congress. | ||
| First off, I want to make a statement, if I may, to the Republicans. | ||
| To every Republican in the House of Representatives, I make this pledge to you today, right here with Alex Jones. | ||
| I will use the information that I have on every one of you. | ||
| Every one of you, and I will destroy every one of you. | ||
| See, the problem, Alex, with Republicans is they're conservative, supposedly. | ||
| They're moral, supposedly. | ||
| They're Christian, supposedly. | ||
| And most of them, they put sex ops on them. | ||
| Most of them are cheating on their wives. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's probably true. | |
| Cheating on their wives. | ||
| I know who their girlfriends are or more friends. | ||
| I know who their illegitimate babies are. | ||
| I know which ones are alcoholics, which ones are druggies. | ||
| Even what their drugs of preference are. | ||
| So here's the promise, Republicans. | ||
| Very soon, you're going to receive thousands, thousands of phone calls in your state office and your national, federal office in Washington. | ||
| And it's going to be people reading the script telling you that you must stop the impeachment of President Trump. | ||
| They all know it's a bogus case. | ||
| Everyone knows it. | ||
| And if they don't, if they don't, I pledge right here on the word that I gave Bill Clinton in 1990. | ||
| I'll destroy you. | ||
| And I don't mean just keep them from being up. | ||
| And all of us give that pledge. | ||
| And you did tell them underneath that overpass down by the river where they buried the bodies. | ||
| I damn sure did. | ||
| So we'll get back. | ||
| He's not done. | ||
| How great would it be if Larry Nichols winds up taking down the Republican Party? | ||
| How fucking hilarious would that be? | ||
| It would be crazy. | ||
| He would save healthcare for so many people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So the legal definition of blackmail is an act often criminal involving unjustified threats to make a gain, most commonly money or property, or cause a loss to another unless a demand is met. | ||
| That's literally blackmail. | ||
| I think that's the definition of blackmail. | ||
| He literally is trying to blackmail Congress on the show. | ||
| That's fantastic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is crazy! | |
| I still don't think... | ||
| I think he should suffer some consequences for this, even though it's idle threats. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He doesn't have shit. | ||
| He didn't have shit on the Clintons either! | ||
| He said that he fucking killed people for Bill and Hillary on a radio show, and then later said, I was on pills. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, exactly. | ||
| He's full of shit about everything. | ||
| He got fired by the Clintons because he was fucking involved in Iran-Contra and got caught making long-distance calls to Nicaragua, and then he pretends that he's like, oh no, I had a coming-to-Jesus moment. | ||
| I realized I couldn't be involved with this evil. | ||
| You repackaged cancer-having piece of shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You manipulative asshole. | ||
| Like, great. | ||
| We're gonna have to give him a call. | ||
| Turn your attention towards the Republicans. | ||
| God bless you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That will be fun, at least. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That'll be fun for us. | ||
| At least it'll be a fun charade where I don't really care. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I don't care. | ||
| You're going after these people that, like, okay, you bring down Paul Ryan. | ||
| I mean, you're not going to, but trying to bring down Paul Ryan. | ||
| Too funny. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Too funny. | ||
| Do it. | ||
| Please. | ||
| So, hold on. | ||
| The rest of the clip is going to play out. | ||
| Alex is going to scream about some stuff, and then Larry's going to make another threat. | ||
| And I'm telling them all, if you don't believe I'll do it, you better dial 1-800-BILL-IN-HILLARY-CLINTON and ask them. | ||
| But let me throw this out right now. | ||
| You are 100% correct. | ||
| Too many letters. | ||
| They're going to cook it up. | ||
| They never found any Russia, so now it's going to be taxes or this or that. | ||
| An I didn't dot, a T didn't cross. | ||
| They now admit that. | ||
| They don't. | ||
| And as dirty as Mueller and as dirty as Comey are with all their criminal cover-ups, Hillary doesn't get in trouble. | ||
| None of them do. | ||
| It's Trump with made-up crap. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| We can't wait to get on this impeachment once it starts. | ||
| We've got to be hammering them now, every day. | ||
| Hammer, hammer, hammer. | ||
| You're not going to overturn our election. | ||
| You're not going to, just like a jury can veto a judge or whatever, we have got to have the American people know we voted Trump in, not the Russians, and we're vetoing Mueller and we're vetoing all these traitors. | ||
| They say he's evil for saying America first. | ||
| Wait, you're making weird faces. | ||
| I want to... | ||
| Is it a Larry Nichols hotline? | ||
| No, it's an actual number. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| If you or someone in your house is suffering from something, press 1 for yes, 2 for no. | ||
| I'm going to guess that it's a different acronym. | ||
| The number is 1-800-245-526-344-5527. | ||
| Too many numbers. | ||
| 9254. | ||
| 6-8-6-6. | ||
| Too many numbers. | ||
| So if anybody would like to call that and see exactly what just happened there. | ||
| That's the equivalent of call 1-900-MIXALY. | ||
| Oh, it's fantastic. | ||
| Kick those nasty thoughts. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| Here's the end of this with Nichols. | ||
| At the UN, they're obviously the enemies. | ||
| Good Lord! | ||
| That's why they're pissed is because we have an American president. | ||
| And it doesn't mean he's perfect, but he's not out to get the country, and that's why they hate him. | ||
| Dog whistle. | ||
| We have an American president. | ||
| Don't believe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I've been able to acquire a whole bunch of dirt on you, buddy. | |
| Now, I know. | ||
| Alex, I know. | ||
| They're gonna destroy me, which is fine. | ||
| He just blackmailed Mueller. | ||
| He just threatened to blackmail Mueller. | ||
| That's definitely not good. | ||
| That's definitely not good. | ||
| That legitimately might constitute obstruction of justice. | ||
| I think it might. | ||
| I mean, I know, again, it's idle threats. | ||
| He has nothing. | ||
| But at the same time, you can't do stuff like this. | ||
| You can't claim that you have some sort of mysterious information. | ||
| If you don't do what I say, I'm going to release it. | ||
| That's literal blackmail. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's so crazy! | |
| That is a crime! | ||
| I mean, in all honesty, he is probably on pills, though. | ||
| Probably on pills. | ||
| Yeah, he's definitely on pills. | ||
| If you didn't have to go to your show, we really should call him. | ||
| Oh, absolutely. | ||
| Maybe we'll do it over the weekend. | ||
| We'll do it over the weekend, for sure. | ||
| But, oh god, I love that. | ||
| Like, Larry Nichols, for all his faults, is a fucking showman. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He knows we're having a boring segment here. | ||
| I gotta really spice this thing up. | ||
| I gotta do something. | ||
| Oh, I guess I'll just threaten people and commit crimes on air! | ||
| Like, I legitimately feel like we should send that to the FBI. | ||
| That's a crime. | ||
| I think we should call... | ||
| On our next show, we're gonna call Larry Nichols and we're gonna ask him whether or not he has actual shit on the Republican Party. | ||
| Why not? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He would say, yes, I'm not gonna tell you, because if I did, they wouldn't do what I say. | |
| I kinda wanna do it anyways. | ||
| We'll call him. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I kind of want to do it anyway. | ||
| He's not going to talk to us if we tell him he's on the air. | ||
| I bet he will. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| He's dying. | ||
| He doesn't give a fuck. | ||
| He just threatened to blackmail Congress. | ||
| Why the fuck wouldn't he talk to us? | ||
| He's saying batshit. | ||
| And a special prosecutor. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fucking... | |
| I'm sure he'll talk to us. | ||
| Yeah, probably. | ||
| That'd be fun. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So that's a cliffhanger. | ||
| Promise. | ||
| Cliffhanger. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| We'll see what happens with that over the weekend. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| But also, after that, Larry, I told you this before the show because it's just so funny. | ||
| He's like, look, I don't want to have to do it, but we're going to burn some people. | ||
| So good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| So good. | ||
| Such a great development in the Larry Nichols arc. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I hope he doesn't die before the end of the season. | ||
| I hope he doesn't die before we call him. | ||
| I want the season to play out. | ||
| You know, I don't want it to be a thing where, like, the show gets canceled mid-season. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| We're never gonna know how this plays out. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Who did shoot JR? | ||
| Although, you know what? | ||
| They're gonna drop this. | ||
| Oh, of course. | ||
| Because this will never be spoken of again. | ||
| But I'm shocked it was, like, not edited out. | ||
| Then it wasn't edited out? | ||
| Because they don't care. | ||
| Buckley is probably gonna talk to Alex and be like, uh, dude, I talked to our lawyer. | ||
| And they said, don't do that again. | ||
| You know how you have to say politically when you threaten people? | ||
| You can't have Larry Nichols committing crimes on air. | ||
| I know you didn't say it. | ||
| I think that might be one of the more fun things. | ||
| I think that might be the reason that they have no problem with it, is they're just like... | ||
| Oh, yeah, let Nichols hang himself. | ||
| Who gives a shit about him? | ||
| I think Alex has some culpability in it. | ||
| By saying, I think it's a good idea? | ||
| Signing off on it. | ||
| We make the same pledge, he even said. | ||
| Oh, that's true. | ||
| He did say that. | ||
| And at the same time, I think because you're broadcasting a crime, I think that you may have some culpability. | ||
| You're at least complicit in some ways. | ||
| So anyway, I'll research the legal standard of getting someone in trouble for blackmail. | ||
| But until I figure that out, you can check us out at our website. | ||
| KnowledgeFight.com? | ||
| Actually, on KnowledgeFight.com, I will be writing a political blog. | ||
| It's called AJ Adjacent, because I can't help but pun. | ||

| We have a Stuff to Enjoy header at the top of the site. | ||
| Drop-down menu. | ||

|
Boom. | |
| Right in there. | ||
| I'll be posting something every Thursday, and then maybe more, depending. | ||
| Sweet. | ||
| You can also follow us on Twitter. | ||
| It's at Knowledge underscore Fight. | ||
| We're also on Facebook! | ||

Subscribe. | |
| Do the whole thing. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I apologize to everybody with the live stream stuff. | ||
| We will be getting back to that. | ||
| My internet is so crappy because the router is all the way across the house. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And the range extender sucks. | ||
| And I'm trying to find cords to fix everything up so we can have consistent. | ||
| I don't want to be putting this half-ass out there. | ||
| I don't want these. | ||
| Like, the other night we recorded one and the internet went out halfway through. | ||
| Complete disaster. | ||
| So deflating. | ||
| Do you know what that was, though? | ||
| That was the spiritual equivalent of not hanging up a picture. | ||
| It kind of is. | ||
| Oh, also, by the way, John Rappaport was on on Thursday. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| On the 21st. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I got to listen to a little bit of that weirdo. | ||
| He made this really fucking stupid claim. | ||
| He was like, how many... | ||
| I can't even do a toothless voice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| How many prescriptions do you think doctors prescribe a year in the United States? | ||
| 20. Low. | ||
| That's low. | ||
| It's about 4 billion, according to John Rappaport. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| And one of the things that I would like to say is that's not surprising at all. | ||
| So wait. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, that sounds... | ||
| When I had that cyst in my jaw line area... | ||
| I ended up getting five prescriptions for that, maybe six. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anyone who's pregnant gets multiple prescriptions for all sorts of vitamins, all sorts of prenatal, postnatal care. | ||
| Which they won't be able to afford from now on. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Anytime anyone gets strep throat, mono, any of those things, multiple prescriptions. | ||
| Anytime someone gets hurt or undergoes surgery, they get painkiller prescriptions. | ||
| It's so fucking stupid. | ||
| The idea that there's four billion prescriptions made makes total sense. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's so dumb. | ||
| So what would you like to say to him? | ||
| Fuck you and your misuse of statistics, you dumb, Muppet-looking piece of shit, John Rappaport. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||
| Hello, Alex. | ||

I'm a first time caller. | |
