|
Alex, 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 are a couple dudes who like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alexander Emmerich Jones. | ||
| That's pretty much what we do. | ||
| That is all we do. | ||
| We're the only people who know his full name at this point. | ||
| Well, maybe his mama who threw him off her knee at the age of six and told him not to be a mama's boy. | ||
| Can we confirm she is who she says she is? | ||
| I can't. | ||
| It's like Jim Semivan. | ||
| See, there we go. | ||
| There's some talk. | ||
| False flag. | ||
| Alex was never born. | ||
| I have no evidence that he was. | ||
| I've not seen his long-form birth certificate. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| We're Alex Jones birthers now. | ||
| That's what we're going to do. | ||
| I think he wasn't born in Dallas. | ||
| He was born in Los Angeles. | ||
| He's a trendy, liberal, coastal elite. | ||
| And he's just pretending that he's a good old boy from... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| I was going to go with South Africa. | ||
| That's his accent to me. | ||
| He does say that his genealogy is from Wales. | ||
| He has said that in the past. | ||
| Irrelevant. | ||
| Doesn't matter. | ||
| I know a lot about Alex Jones. | ||
| I don't know anything about Alex Jones. | ||
| As evidenced by me knowing that he's Welsh. | ||
| Or pretend Welsh, perhaps. | ||
| You can't be Southern royalty if you're from Wales. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| You have too many... | ||
| Consonance in your words. | ||
| But he is the descendant of people. | ||
| He's gone on long rants about how his relatives were on the Mayflower and also founded the country of Texas. | ||
| Bullshit. | ||
| Founded the country? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And he's related to the Tudors and all sorts of other folks. | ||
| Cleopatra, fine. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| He has a lot of big brags. | ||
| Today, Jordan, we're going to be going over something that happened on the Sunday show this week, on the 22nd. | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then dealing with a little bit of business from the 23rd, the Monday show. | |
| But before we do, we got a number of wonks to thank out there. | ||
| We put out the call that we need your help because I'm not going to have a job pretty soon. | ||
| And some people stepped up to the bat, and I really appreciate it. | ||
| I want to give a shout-out to these folks. | ||
| So first of all, I realize I already did this on one of the live shows. | ||
| I'm going to redo a couple so they live on in infamy. | ||
| This one's going on the show. | ||
| This is dead already in the water. | ||
| We'll do this next week. | ||
| So I'd like to give you a very special foreign policy wonk shout-out to Maria. | ||
| She upped her donation to a level that actually embarrasses me, and she needs to get in touch with me. | ||
| Send me an email and tell me what we can do for you. | ||
| Yeah, we're going to give you all the buttons. | ||
| But for now, this is what we got. | ||

| Yes, please. | ||
| So, Jordan, we've got some business to take care of before we get into the show proper. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Last night, I did watch Tables, Ladders, and Chairs. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It was a hot mess. | ||
| That's my review. | ||
| That was your assessment pre-show as well as post-show? | ||
| Everyone getting mumps and not being able to perform. | ||
| And yeah, it was weird. | ||
| It was weird. | ||
| Largely unsatisfying. | ||
| That's my review. | ||
| I do have some business to take care of. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Tattoo sucks. | ||
| That was actually my second piece of business. | ||
| I wanted to get to... | ||
| Tattoo came up on a random mix I was listening to today on Spotify. | ||
| I was like, fuck yeah, Tattoo. | ||
| And I started listening to a bunch more Tattoo. | ||
| And I realized... | ||
| There's a theme. | ||
| There's no possible through line that you can draw that would suggest that they are not a terrible, terrible popular. | ||
| There's a strong theme to tattoo that I think people don't do enough of a job discussing. | ||
| Right. | ||
| All of their songs are about how much these two gals love each other, right? | ||
| And they are fake lesbians. | ||
| Fine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They're playing a role, whatever. | ||
| I don't really care. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The thing is... | ||
| They love each other, and all of their damn songs are about how they have to run away. | ||
| And it's not because they love each other and they want to elope, it's because they're Russian. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I don't think people talked about that enough. | ||
| The fact that it's like, oh, the subtext of all these songs are... | ||
| The Russians will kill you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| No, no, no, that's a good point. | ||
| It's actually a heavy political sentiment masked in this fake lesbian pop duo. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I... | |
| yeah. | ||
| Yeah, also they killed Kennedy. | ||
| Isn't that true? | ||
| That's true. | ||
| No, that was Ted Cruz's dad. | ||
| Look, Trump is about to do one good thing, and that's release the Kennedy documents. | ||
| Hold on to that thought. | ||
| It's going to come up. | ||
| Guarantee Tattoo did it. | ||
| It's going to come up in the episode today, so hold on to your JFK thoughts. | ||
| Look, if the Russians released the Pez, that means they're capable of anything, and that means... | ||
| Tattoo killed Kennedy. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| So, Jordan, let's jump into this. | ||
| We're going to start with Sunday. | ||
| We're going to start with Sunday's episode. | ||
| It was kind of boring, and Alex is on a bullshit narrative where this guy, this YouTuber, released a video that he shot out the window of a hotel of a bunch of ambulances at the Hooters near I am already against all of this. | ||
| And the reality is, if you look into it, that there wasn't a shooting at Hooters. | ||
| I've pulled up an article here from the Boston. | ||
| And that guy has a camera on that Hooters all the time. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Good people coming off shift. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| This is from the Baltimore Post Examiner. | ||
| Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officials or officers who were inside the concert venue when the shooting was occurring started to direct concert goers, some who were shot, out of the venue eastbound to Hooters. | ||
| That's what you do when you have an active shooter incident. | ||
| You get everyone who can walk or crawl out of the immediate area where the gunshots are being targeted. | ||
| Rescue units were on scene at Hooters, placing the wounded inside ambulances. | ||
| That's why there were emergency medical personnel placing the wounded and injured inside the rescue units who were staging at Hooters. | ||
| You can clearly hear the Las Vegas Police Department radio traffic from the night of the shooting when one officer tells the dispatcher, Control 3 Mary 9, I'm at the center with other officers here. | ||
| We got a lot of wounded. | ||
| We're sending them towards the Reno side, towards Hooters, and in parentheses, out of harm's way. | ||
| There's also a dealer. | ||
| Goddammit. | ||
| Every reasonable emergency plan is turned into a conspiracy theory. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Also, because the Hooters is also like a, you know, everything's a casino in Las Vegas. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There was a dealer who was working that night at Hooters, and he went on the Nevada Public Radio on October 2nd and said that you could hear gunshots outside and people were coming into the casino who were shot and wounded. | |
| The dealer stated there were bodies in front of the casino that were just laying there, people who ran away from the venue. | ||
| who died on the street. | ||
| Jesus fucking Christ. | ||
| The emergency medical personnel and police did an outstanding job that night placing their own lives in jeopardy to get people away from the gunfire. | ||
| So Alex Jones'narrative about it is just completely blinded. | ||
| Bogus, and he's misrepresenting an article. | ||
| He's just misrepresenting a YouTube video that someone posted with no information. | ||
| So... | ||
| I think my favorite part of the Las Vegas shooting is how quickly we've all forgotten about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And we're not talking about it, and it's about time that a mass shooter goes into the NRA offices. | ||
| Hey, come on, man. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| I don't disagree with your sentiment. | ||
| I don't disagree with the sentiment, but also, no. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Actually, I do disagree with the sentiment. | ||
| I don't want shootings. | ||
| I mean, look, there are innocent people that are not directing all of this, but for once, we need to start killing the guilty people. | ||
| I disagree with the agency of that. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| I understand. | ||
| I think that there are people who are cloistered from the effects of these things who are heartless because of it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And maybe if they weren't, they wouldn't be so heartless. | ||
| But at the same time, I, and I don't want you to fucking call me centrist because of this, I in no way encourage shootings towards people who are cloistered. | ||
| Okay, in this regard, I don't think... | ||
| Not wishing death on people is a centrist position. | ||
| You're making it seem like it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no. | |
| I think that's a human position. | ||
| And I think I've proven myself the only person willing to get down in the mud and actually solve fucking problems. | ||
| That's why this dynamic works. | ||
| I'm no longer progressive. | ||
| I am an assassin, I guess. | ||
| Oh, Jesus. | ||
| What are we supposed to do? | ||
| What are we supposed to do? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't think there's any good outcome. | ||
| No. | ||
| But anyway, that's the bullshit that Alex is spinning on that episode on Sunday. | ||
| I mean, it's just... | ||
| There's going to be another one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| There's going to be another one. | ||
| There always is. | ||
| And we're not going to do anything about that. | ||
| And then there's going to be another one after that. | ||
| And we're not going to do anything about that. | ||
| And Alex will insist it's ISIS and Antifa also. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| How do we actually solve the problem? | ||
| Because of all of the... | ||
| It's not advocating shootings at NRA offices. | ||
| That is not how you solve the problem. | ||
| Now, you are correct, and I agree with you. | ||
| Great. | ||
| I'm glad we've come to that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Full stop. | |
| Because otherwise, this podcast was going to get shelved, and we'd have to give more foreign policy shout-outs on the next one. | ||
| Jordan, I need you to calm down. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| You just brought up Las... | ||
| You came out of the gate hot. | ||
| I know. | ||
| You brought up Las Vegas, and there's just... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I didn't. | |
| Alex did. | ||
| I was just debunking something he said. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| It's just hard for me to just... | ||
| There's so many ongoing things that nobody's doing. | ||
| Like Puerto Rico. | ||
| We've all forgotten about Puerto Rico. | ||
| Houston! | ||
| Houston, we still have issues there. | ||
| Florida is still going to be in trouble. | ||
| FEMA is not going to get enough funds. | ||
| Nobody is doing anything about this shit. | ||
| And there's nothing we really can do. | ||
| We're all fucking helpless. | ||
| And so the sentiment of wanting extreme action... | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| I will no longer... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good save. | |
| I will no longer... | ||
| Is, I think, understandable, and I don't agree with that position. | ||
| All right. | ||
| However, I do hope for understanding. | ||
| I would like to play the role of Barry Manilow and say, let's get on with it. | ||
| God damn it! | ||
| Let's get on to the episode. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, let's do it. | |
| On Sunday, also, he says that Alex gets into the JFK stuff, but that'll come up later, and we'll discuss it then. | ||
| He's full of a bunch of bullshit. | ||
| But at the end of the episode, he plays a special report, because I guess he just didn't want to do the whole show. | ||
| Naturally. | ||
| So he plays a special report, and we're going to break down some of the goings-on, as it were, in this special report. | ||
| Some strange goings-on. | ||
| It's not strange, but I think Alex accidentally exposes himself a little bit. | ||
| He actually, he's trying to point out how much the media lies and spins things, but in the process, he does... | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Horrendous spinning. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| And so I want to just break this down and get to the bottom of what he's doing. | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| One of the most important things we do here at InfoWars is break down to the viewers and listeners. | ||
| How the mass media manipulates, how they deceive. | ||
| We take you behind the scenes and basically show you the hat trick that the magician is using so that we can basically alert the public so they're aware of these scams so the fake news media cannot continue to get away with it over and over and over again. | ||
| And a great example of this was just last week. | ||
| A wonderful, though sad, opportunity to expose what they're up to. | ||
| President Trump making phone calls to the wives and to the widows and family members of soldiers and others that had recently died in the armed services of this country and service to this nation. | ||
| And a congresswoman, Frederica Wilson, reportedly listened in to one of the phone calls of one of her constituents and then misrepresented what Trump had done, so that he was very cavalier, that he was very flippant. | ||
| Well, he asked for it. | ||
| So this is what he got. | ||
| Yeah, that doesn't sound like him at all. | ||
| No. | ||
| Never would have believed that without her fucking say-so. | ||
| No, so already we have some lies. | ||
| We already have some problems in what Alex Jones is spitting. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Got a little something in my throat. | ||
| The first of which is the idea that Congresswoman Wilson... | ||
| Was secretly or clandestinely listening in on a phone call. | ||
| She was in the car. | ||
| Yeah, because she's family friends with the people who Trump was calling. | ||
| They were in the car together. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Not really a clandestine thing if you... | ||
| No, it's not secret. | ||
| It's not sneaky. | ||
| It's not anything of the sort. | ||
| He's just misrepresenting that entirely. | ||
| And then he's not telling the story. | ||
| He's not explaining what actually happened. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Sorry, I got something in my throat. | ||
| You're going to have to talk for a second. | ||
| You should take a drink. | ||
| Dead air. | ||
| Fuck you. | ||
| Look, I gotta leave you hanging from time to time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I gotta make sure everybody knows you're fallible. | |
| You come in here advocating for shooting. | ||
| Let's not rehash that. | ||
| And then you fucking shiv me. | ||
| I say a lot of things. | ||
| You do. | ||
| You do. | ||
| Many ill-advised. | ||
| The reality of what happened was that Frederica Wilson, the congresswoman, Overheard this call because she was in the car very innocently. | ||
| And then she said her comment on it was that it was insensitive. | ||
| And that whenever you are calling someone whose family member has died, the message should just be that they were a hero and this is a tragedy. | ||
| My condolences. | ||
| We're sorry for your loss. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But our president is so fucking stupid and so fucking awful, he's incapable of even basic empathy. | ||
| That's because he is a legitimate psychopath. | ||
| I think we really need to accept that our president is a serial killer. | ||
| Yeah, so Trump's reaction to that was lashing out at her, and then John Kelly came out and gave a speech. | ||
| Yeah, he's a piece of shit, too. | ||
| Yeah, he comported himself pretty poorly. | ||
| He gave a speech wherein he... | ||
| First of all, made a bunch of really vague references to society being better in the past and stuff like that. | ||
| Fuck him. | ||
| Not wanting to politicize soldiers' deaths, which in theory I agree with, but in practice that's not what's... | ||
| And this conversation is not... | ||
| A soldier's death is inherently political. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Fucking unreasonable. | ||
| So then he goes on to explain that he was at a speech that she gave at an FBI building naming or unveiling and what have you. | ||
| John Kelly was at a speech that Wilson gave. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And his comments were that Comey came out and gave a wonderful speech and then she got up and said that... | ||
| You know, she had just called Obama and got all the money for the building to be made, and he thought it was disgraceful. | ||
| Because he doesn't understand where money comes from? | ||
| No, but the idea of, like, I got the money to get this made, and that's the narrative Alex Jones has been pitching. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So she's taking credit for it as opposed to some sort of magical... | ||
| Just the goodness of people's hearts? | ||
| Or the necessity of the situation? | ||
| Or that the FBI earned it or something? | ||
| Well, he was straight up lying. | ||
| Because a video of that speech has come out. | ||
| Oh, who would have guessed? | ||
| And what she's saying, I'll just read from a transcript here. | ||
| The ribbon-cutting has been scheduled in four weeks, Wilson recalled being told. | ||
| The dedication is on the government's calendar and cannot be changed. | ||
| One problem, the FBI wants to name this gorgeous edifice at the same time, in four weeks. | ||
| Everyone said that's impossible. | ||
| It takes at least eight months to a year to complete the process, through the House, the Senate, and to the President's office. | ||
| I said, I'm a school principal. | ||
| And I said, excuse my French? | ||
| Oh, hell no. | ||
| We're going to get this done. | ||
| Immediately, I went into attack mode. | ||
| I went to the Speaker, Speaker Boehner, and said, Mr. Speaker... | ||
| The FBI needs your help, and the country needs your help, and we have no time to waste. | ||
| Boehner went into attack mode, and in two days pulled it out of committee, brought it to the floor for a vote. | ||
| And she goes on to cite that Marco Rubio was very helpful and that there was bipartisanship effort that ended up getting this done in a way that no one thought could be done. | ||
| We collaborated and got this building named after the FBI agents who had been killed. | ||
| And does not talk about how she ended up getting all the funding for the building or anything like that. | ||
| So what she did was give a speech praising government actually working. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That is... | ||
| Unacceptable, Dan. | ||
| So at that point, Trump started lashing out some more and called her wacky. | ||
| Great. | ||
| And that the MSM is believing her and she's full of shit. | ||
| And then the other day it came out that Myesha Johnson, the lady in question who received the call from Donald Trump, she came out, and I'll just read from this Time magazine article about her. | ||
| The widow of a U.S. soldier who recently died in combat in Niger remembered her late husband as a hero and confirmed in a new interview Monday. | ||
| Myesha Johnson, who was married to fallen Army Sergeant LaDavid Johnson, told Good Morning America that her phone call with Trump made her, quote, cry even more because she said Trump apparently did not remember her husband's name until he had military papers in front of him. | ||
| Quote, the president said that he knew what he signed up for, but it hurts anyway. | ||
| Myesha Johnson said of LaDavid Johnson, her high school sweetheart, quote, It made me cry because I was very angry at the tone of his voice and how he said he couldn't remember my husband's name. | ||
| So that's probably more the issue. | ||
| You know... | ||
| The way, quote, quote, the way he remembered my husband's name is because he told me he had my husband's report in front of him, and that's when he actually said La David, she added. | ||
| I heard him stumbling on trying to remember my husband's name, and that's what hurt me the most, because if my husband is out here fighting for our country, and he risked his life for our country, why can't you remember his name? | ||
| And that's what made me upset and cry even more, because my husband was an awesome soldier. | ||
| She goes on to say, like, why the fuck would I make this up? | ||
| I mean, not in those words. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| So it is all a lie. | ||
| Everything is a lie. | ||
| I don't understand why this is a story. | ||
| I really don't. | ||
| Look, it's awful. | ||
| But what did you think was going to happen? | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And if it did happen well, it would be insincere. | |
| Right. | ||
| There's no way that that call would have meant anything, no matter what. | ||
| It is a meaningless call, and of course it was something that he used to hurt somebody still further, because he's a fucking lunatic. | ||
| It's cruelty. | ||
| And I get that somehow, because our attention spans are so terrible, and our media is, I do agree with Alex Jones in this regard, a mess. | ||
| Fucking awful. | ||
| Right. | ||
| This is, we have the worst... | ||
| You can have the same premise and a different conclusion. | ||
| Yeah, this is... | ||
| It's possible. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is... | |
| It's unacceptable that we have such low attention span that we have to find a new way to hate Trump every single day. | ||
| We've already... | ||
| We've done enough. | ||
| Like, in the pile of this guy should be impeached, we hit it. | ||
| We hit it a year ago. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know, before he was president, he had already committed all the crimes. | ||
| So there's no reason to keep finding new stories. | ||
| What we should be doing is every fucking day... | ||
| Hammer home that he needs to go. | ||
| There should not be any other stories. | ||
| It should just be every single day the front page of the New York Times should be, go fuck yourself, Trump. | ||
| He should be impeached. | ||
| And every day that he is not impeached, they should write a story that says, hey, fuck yourself, Trump. | ||
| You should be impeached. | ||
| It's fucking lunacy! | ||
| Alright. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You got me going with the Las Vegas thing and now I'm gone! | |
| You're coming in way too hot. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| You're getting hot. | ||
| My face is getting a little red. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I just can't do it anymore. | ||
| I can't read the news. | ||
| What is there to read? | ||
| Lovecraft. | ||
| That's not bad. | ||
| There's a lot of Philip K. Dick out there you can read. | ||
| He wrote a lot. | ||
| I want to go back to Salinger. | ||
| Let's go with The Laughing Man. | ||
| That was fun. | ||
| That was good, clean fun, Dan. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| Jump into it. | ||
| Then you don't have to read the news and you don't have to scream at me for five minutes. | ||
| Do you know what the theory is? | ||
| I'm sorry, Dan. | ||
| I apologize. | ||
| That was exhausting. | ||
| I know. | ||
| You're telling me. | ||
| You're telling me. | ||
| Self-righteousness is hard. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So, at this point, we have laid out more or less the narrative of reality and what ended up happening here. | ||
| Right. | ||
| There's a whole bunch of lying going on, and it's people not named Donald Trump and John Kelly doing it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, now let's proceed through the rest of this special report that Alex Jones has, and we can point out and enjoy all of the points where he's being completely fucked up. | ||
| Then, of course, Gold Star families released phone calls that were similar to what this phone call had been like. | ||
| It was actually very, very gracious the way he said it. | ||
| And it was General Kelly, who lost his own son a few years ago in the Marines, who basically told the president how best he thought it would be for the president to basically do it. | ||
| But he went further and said, Mr. President, most presidents don't actually call people, and this is really tough for you to do, and I recommend you don't do it. | ||
| I would posit that that's because he knows what the outcome would be. | ||
| I would suggest that he's like, you shouldn't do this. | ||
| Look, a lot of presidents do this. | ||
| You, specifically, should not. | ||
| No, this is going to get things a little messy. | ||
| Let pretend robot Mike Pence do it for you. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| He can at least feign human emotions. | ||
| Well, and in there, there's a point I'm going to punt on. | ||
| And that is there might be some phone calls that he's made that have been decent. | ||
| Again. | ||
| I'm going to punt. | ||
| Again. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| Right. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| It doesn't matter either way. | ||
| It's insincere. | ||
| He doesn't give a fuck. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| So let's get on to this next clip. | ||
| So this is bigger than Trump. | ||
| This is about the anatomy of deception because now this congresswoman has come out and said that she's a rock star now that this happened and is really, really proud of all the fawning attention that fake news media like MSNBC and CNN and ABC have given her. | ||
| Give three more examples. | ||
| In that clip, he's saying that Frederica Wilson is now calling herself a rock star, and she's so thrilled. | ||
| Here's the quote that he's misrepresenting. | ||
| Quote, You mean to tell me that I've become so important that the White House is following me in my words? | ||
| This is amazing. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| That is absolutely phenomenal. | ||
| I have to tell my kids I'm a rock star now. | ||
| She's being facetious. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| She's saying it's ridiculous that you're paying attention to me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You have a lot of big issues to deal with. | ||
| She's not calling herself a rock star. | ||
| Right. | ||
| This is just Alex. | ||
| And in that same clip, he's saying that he, in this special report, is getting into the anatomy of deception when he's actually doing hardcore deception himself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It's amazing. | ||
| What better way to teach deception than to embody it? | ||
| Right. | ||
| I just don't think that anyone who listens to him is taking that lesson away from it. | ||
| No, that's true. | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| This is the next clip. | ||
| And again, this is not cut up manipulatively or anything. | ||
| It's just cut in segments of the entire special report. | ||
| So here's where it goes from there. | ||
| A total disconnect. | ||
| She doesn't get most Americans hate mainstream media. | ||
| She doesn't get that her butt's hanging out there in front of the world and people see right through her. | ||
| Her butt? | ||
| See through the butt? | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| And that she took this death of this soldier and then used it. | ||
| To project hatred upon the president. | ||
| Yeah, so he's saying that everyone hates mainstream media, it's all terrible, no one likes it, and that's all good and well. | ||
| That's a fun game to play. | ||
| Yeah, fine. | ||
| I mean, it kind of goes back to what you were saying, and we don't have a whole lot of... | ||
| Interest in defending the media per se. | ||
| There is no defense for them. | ||
| They lost any credibility with me a long time ago. | ||
| They're very much asleep at the wheel and very much not taken care of. | ||
| Not TCBing. | ||
| They're run by the same corporate people that run the government. | ||
| Who fucking cares? | ||
| They're all monsters. | ||
| I'm going to go to the research cam here and show you Infowars.com here. | ||
| For the last month, they have 6.6 million global unique views. | ||
| Which is pretty good, but if you see here, a lot of them, almost all of them, come from October 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, where they were up over a million views those days on the 3rd and the 4th. | ||
| And that's because the shooting happened on October 1st, and immediately they started spinning the ISIS narrative about it. | ||
| That's how they get these peaks in their traffic, is when something really tragic happens, they lie about it. | ||
| And you can see, everyone who's watching this can see, there are very few peaks, and if you go through it, if you go back through their history, you'll see the exact same thing. | ||
| Whenever something traumatic happens that may or may not have a racial bent to it, because Alex is injecting that into this, that's what drives their traffic. | ||
| It's just like gun manufacturers, they never make more money than after a mass shooting. | ||
| In the same way these guys make all of their money on tragedy. | ||
| Right, and so we go over to MSNBC, one of Alex Jones' Most loathed members of the mainstream media here, you have 8.8 million global unique hits in the last month. | ||
| So there are about 2 million more than them. | ||
| That's not enough more. | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| It's scary. | ||
| But it's still more. | ||
| It's still more, but that's a frighteningly little number. | ||
| The way Alex presents it is that they're destroying all of these. | ||
| In a certain sense, they are. | ||
| And MSNBC isn't the highest of these. | ||
| Of course not. | ||
| CNN or New York Times, if their traffic was available publicly, like on Quantcast, then you'd see a much different picture. | ||
| But if you look at this, I'm going to switch back and forth, you can see there's much more reasonable peaks and valleys to the traffic pattern of MSNBC, whereas Alex Jones and Infowars has almost nothing until some tragedy, and then they get a lot. | ||
| So everyone hating the MSNBC or MSM is kind of bullshit. | ||
| And then again, I also argue that who is doing the politicizing? | ||
| That's the real question to ask. | ||
| There's a causation fallacy going on. | ||
| That Representative Wilson is the one politicizing things. | ||
| But in fact, it's a complicated dance that all of these people are doing. | ||
| And I don't... | ||
| You could get into a chicken or egg thing here and it's not worth it. | ||
| It's a complex system and a lot of people, if not most people, despise complexity. | ||
| So whenever an idiot like Alex Jones turns that into a very simple narrative, they feel like, well... | ||
| If this guy can condense it down into a simple narrative that I can consume, that means he must be correct. | ||
| It's the same situation that all strongmen have used throughout history. | ||
| It is, I understand this system and I can fix it with A. And then they actually get into a position to do something about it and they realize that the system is incomprehensible. | ||
| You can't do any of that shit. | ||
| So Alex has a theory in this next clip of why they're... | ||
| Demonizing John Kelly. | ||
| Because he's a monster? | ||
| He has a slightly different take on it. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Now the rest of the story, I'm going to play part of the press conference that Kelly gave, is that in their attempt to demonize and lie, they've now expanded it on to General Kelly and said, oh my gosh, you know, he is this terrible person. | ||
| He's shown his true colors, is what CNN said. | ||
| He's shown us he's really a make America great again guy. | ||
| And with horror. | ||
| In these articles and in these reports, they talk about what a terrible person he is because he believes we shouldn't use the deaths of soldiers to make political points, or he believes that religion should be honored, or that women should be honored, or that children should be honored, or, you know, the institution of manhood, you name it, the humanity. | ||
| That the right to life should be honored. | ||
| He talked about honoring humanity, having respect for ourselves, and it's CNN and others that showed us their true colors when they flipped out and acted like the wholesome things that General Kelly said were some type of horrible pornography or something obscene that was being said and done. | ||
| Well, considering Alex's torture porn fantasies, he definitely believes John Kelly is in the right here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Kelly makes some passing references to these ideas, and some of them are a little bit paternalistic and weird. | ||
| Oh, like you should honor women? | ||
| Women used to be worshipped and shit like that. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Hey, now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| But also, in the chat room, someone brought up a really good point, and that is that it was about a month ago that I was going to bring this up, but I'd like to also still give a shout-out to the chat room on that. | ||
| You had to get that in, didn't you? | ||
| You had to get in that I was also going to bring it up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a little petty. | |
| That's a little Alex Jones-ian right there. | ||
| It's a little petty of me. | ||
| That was Dan the centrist right there. | ||
| It's a great point that a month ago Alex was saying that General Kelly may or may not be poisoning Trump with an addictive sedative. | ||
| Nah, I can't think of any reason why he would do that. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| So that's fine. | ||
| John Kelly, he believes in honoring women, and the best way to do that is to poison Trump. | ||
| I think that's true. | ||
| I think that is an actually true thing. | ||
| So let's get into this next clip. | ||
| It talks more about Wilson's... | ||
| Oh, but in that last clip, the other thing I wanted to pull out of it is, in order to make his argument seem more appealing or more meaningful to the people who listen to him, code dum-dums, he has to make so much of this about this idea of pro-life positions. | ||
| Yeah, he adds all of that shit in there that didn't belong. | ||
| No, but Kelly did... | ||
| Like, make passing reference to those things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Yeah, but it wasn't the point of what he was talking about. | ||
| It wasn't the point of it, and Alex is making it much more the point of it because he knows that he talks about how, like, oh, he also told a completely lying, misrepresenting story about a speech that she gave at the FBI unveiling of the building, or christening of the building, whatever it's called, I'm not sure. | ||
| A gender reveal party for the building. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Yeah, so she, like, if he... | ||
| Focused on that part of it, which I think is what most people are focusing on, he would have no leg to stand on. | ||
| So you focus on the vague references to anti-abortion sentiments. | ||
| Can't think of anybody who does that, too. | ||
| No. | ||
| So here's the next clip where we get a little bit more about Alex lying. | ||
| It's really the Washington Post and CNN and mainstream corporate dinosaur media that are showing us their true colors when they flip out. | ||
| Over someone saying, let's not be political in America when it comes to the deaths of soldiers. | ||
| Let's not insert ourselves between grieving families and the president. | ||
| You fucking pile of human garbage. | ||
| Go fuck yourself. | ||
| And as if not to be undone after all of her rock star bandwagon, you know, really vampire-like. | ||
| That was an edit on their video. | ||
| I hope John Kelly... | ||
| Congresswoman Frederica Wilson comes back again now this weekend and says that the general was racist when he said that the loudest guns tend to be empty barrels. | ||
| That's just saying that she's a loudmouth. | ||
| That's just saying she jumps on bandwagons and that she's an idiot. | ||
| But again, because she can't intellectually defeat what he said and what he's done, and because she's been caught lying about the tenor of what President Trump really does in these heartfelt phone calls, she's got to go back to the only card that the liberal, democratic, globalist party has, and that's race baiting. | ||
| And to see folks like this lady falling on her face is just absolutely disgusting. | ||
| I would argue that now all the facts have come out, and the facts were available on Sunday. | ||
| I would argue that Alex is the one who's doing a substantial amount of race baiting. | ||
| I... | ||
| Because he's making it about that. | ||
| Now, I will say this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'll say this. | |
| I can't handle that. | ||
| I will say this. | ||
| He just... | ||
| He took this high-road bullshit about all the shit that only he does. | ||
| He took this high... | ||
| He took this bullshit fucking... | ||
| This is what I'm saying. | ||
| This is exactly what I'm always saying about this whole, like, oh, when they go low, we go high bullshit. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| They don't care one way or the other. | ||
| They'll go whatever the fucking way they feel like you're not going. | ||
| So you might as well do something effective. | ||
| It's that zigzag-zog. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It doesn't fucking matter what they think. | ||
| No. | ||
| Why are we pretending that the way they react to something that we think is going to matter one way or the other? | ||
| It won't. | ||
| Fucking pathetic! | ||
| I'll give Alex a little bit of a kudos. | ||
| A tiny bit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because Frederica Wilson did come out and say that the comment that she's an empty barrel is a racist term. | ||
| And that's a little bit dicey in some ways. | ||
| But Alex's idea that everyone is jumping on board with that is completely not true. | ||
| Here is an article in front of me from CNN from the 20th of this month that analyzes whether or not there is any etymological tradition. | ||
| Racism built into. | ||
| And they go through. | ||
| There's an origin in Plato. | ||
| Although they can't quite find the citation, in the 15th century, a translation of The Pilgrimage of the Life of Man, done by John Lydgate, contains a variation on that theme. | ||
| Or by soaring noise and complaining, avoid vessel, pipe, or ton. | ||
| The phrase, or an iteration of it, was used twice in Shakespeare. | ||
| There's physics, an empty glass, if you tap it, makes a louder noise than a glass filled with water. | ||
| They go through to the point of... | ||
| Reaching out to Missouri University of Science and Technology professor Gerald Leonard Cohen, a widely recognized expert on etymology. | ||
| And great musician. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They go through, and there's no real tradition of it. | ||
| But there is a part of it that is... | ||
| This is where I take away Alex's kudos. | ||
| MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell devoted 20 minutes of his show on Thursday night to Kelly. | ||
| Wilson and the Empty Barrel. | ||
| O'Donnell suggested that due to Kelly's boyhood in... | ||
| A Boston neighborhood that was still largely segregated. | ||
| His choice of words described to Wilson was intentionally dehumanizing to the congresswoman. | ||
| She was nothing but an empty barrel to him, said O'Donnell. | ||
| He refused to give her the dignity of a name. | ||
| And there is some credence to that. | ||
| Now, whether his motivation was racist or not, in this article, they don't fall on that side. | ||
| But it is interesting to go back and listen to that because he doesn't say her name. | ||
| They gave... | ||
| 20 minutes on TV to the etymology of... | ||
| No, no. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| No. | ||
| He gave 20 minutes just to this story. | ||
| The etymology was just an article that CNN did, which is like, hey, there are people in the MSM who are debunking the idea that there's racist roots to this. | ||
| Alex is just... | ||
| I mean, he's way off on everything. | ||
| This is... | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| What are we doing, Dan? | ||
| What are we doing? | ||
| Really? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| What are we doing? | ||
| Who are these people? | ||
| What kind of line producer is at one of these shows going, here's our story. | ||
| We're going to spend all of this time on a fucking phone call from a sociopath that we knew was not going to go well. | ||
| Even if it did go well, it wouldn't mean anything. | ||
| I don't want to do this whole, like, what about bullshit of, like, Well, there are more important things to talk about right now. | ||
| But there are more important things to talk about! | ||
| It's fair. | ||
| So, in this next clip, Alex tries to argue that his position is not racist because there are a bunch of Democrats in Congress who are mentally ill. | ||
| You know, there's a congressman up in Georgia who happens to be black who believes that islands float. | ||
| No. | ||
| And when the media pointed out that islands don't float, they're mountaintops sticking out of the water, some folks said, well, you're just racist. | ||
| No, Nancy Pelosi's just as senile and mentally ill as these folks as well, and she's white. | ||
| And there's some other members of Congress that are also out of their minds. | ||
| We've just got to be asking ourselves, how have we gotten a collection of weirdos like this in charge of our country? | ||
| Assholes like you, Alex. | ||
| Assholes like you. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it's a great line. | ||
| It's a good point. | ||
| But if you get down to it, like someone who he really supports right now is Roy Moore. | ||
| And Roy Moore is a lunatic. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But he's the right kind of lunatic. | ||
| He makes all kinds of arguments very frequently about how we need to be a Christian nation and all of the things that go bad are because we've drifted from Christ. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| All of this stuff. | ||
| He refused to take down the Ten Commandments at the statehouse. | ||
| Roy Moore is the guy who is not allowed to be a judge anymore because he committed all the crimes. | ||
| Because the courts told him to take down the Ten Commandments. | ||
| Because as a judge, the most important thing you can do is refuse to honor the Constitution. | ||
| Whenever they take the oath of office, they're always like, hey, and the Constitution, do not listen to that at all. | ||
| It's a suggestion. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's more of a guideline. | ||
| So he got in trouble over that, and then he started doing speaking tours where he took the Ten Commandments statue along with him. | ||
| That's actually pretty funny. | ||
| That's not bad. | ||
| I like that as a bit. | ||
| I'll give him some credit for that as a good bit. | ||
| In his speech recently... | ||
| Recently he said that we're such a divided country. | ||
| We got the blacks fighting the whites. | ||
| We got the reds and the yellows. | ||
| That's such a, that's such a like, hey, listen, we got to stop being racist to these coons. | ||
| And you're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| Cut his mic. | ||
| Cut his mic. | ||
| But then he got in some hot water about those comments. | ||
| Oh, why? | ||
| And when asked, he's like, well, it's in that song, God Loves the Little Children. | ||
| They say reds and yellows. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, oh no, this is not a good justification. | |
| Maybe the song is also bad. | ||
| Have you considered that, Mr. Moore? | ||
| Yeah, so that's the kind of people that Alex supports. | ||
| I would call you Judge Moore, but you're not allowed to do that anymore. | ||
| Yeah, so that's Alex's milieu. | ||
| I would rather take someone who misspeaks every now and again. | ||
| Oh, and the other thing, the other comment that I found, I don't know what the window closed, but basically it goes along the lines of like, hey, of course you've got to swear in on the Bible. | ||
| The Bible's the only thing that matters. | ||
| I mean, because you know why? | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Buddha didn't make us. | ||
| Allah didn't make us. | ||
| It was the Christian God who made us. | ||
| So all these vows to other religions are meaningless. | ||
| It's like, dude, come on. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| That is, I guess, ideologically consistent? | ||
| Yeah, but in a bad way. | ||
| It's very simple. | ||
| That is such a perfect encapsulation of the Republican Party now. | ||
| They will gladly vote. | ||
| For somebody who shat all over the Constitution and lost his job because of it. | ||
| That's the Republican Party now. | ||
| You guys own it. | ||
| You guys hate America. | ||
| For everybody who's like, oh, it's all about the Constitution. | ||
| It's all about the First Amendment. | ||
| And you're like, you don't care about it. | ||
| You don't care about it, so shut the fuck up. | ||
| Now, if you are a senator and you say Korea instead of Crimea accidentally once, Alex will talk about it for six months. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Or if you say Bush instead of Trump, six months of coverage instead of, hey, this is a religious zealot that you're backing who is a danger to people's safety and. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| These people are in the service of what they think is right. | ||
| The worst human beings on the planet. | ||
| Undoubtedly. | ||
| They're evil. | ||
| So we got one more clip left of this special report, and then we'll get into... | ||
| And I don't even need to be like, oh, they're vampires trying to kill your children. | ||
| I use the things they do. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I'm not making up a, I bet he's had sex with a child before. | ||
| I'm just saying he was legally removed from his job for shitting all over the Constitution. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| The only thing his job is about. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So he's evil. | ||
| Here's the next clip. | ||
| I'm sorry for interrupting you, Dan. | ||
| So I'm going to air the first 10 minutes or so of General Kelly's breakdown. | ||
| And then for yourself, go to Infowars.com, watch some posts, you name it, and actually see similar phone calls that Gold Star families have taped where you see how gracious and loving the president is when he's saying, hey, he was with you, wanted to be with. | ||
| He was a leader. | ||
| He gave his life for us. | ||
| What a hero. | ||
| Versus, ah, he asked for it, toots. | ||
| So he's creating another character here. | ||
| He asked for it, toots. | ||
| Right, and that's a straw man that he's creating about the reality of Manisha's call that she got about her husband, LaDavid. | ||
| But that, I actually think, would have been better. | ||
| What, if he was asking for it, toots? | ||
| If he was asking for it, toots, at least she would have gotten a good old laugh out of that. | ||
| You can't cry. | ||
| If somebody says that shit to you, because that's bananas. | ||
| And Alex's default is to switch into a character that sort of embodies rape culture. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| So that's great. | ||
| So anyway, here we go. | ||
| So shut your mouth. | ||
| That's how the fake news media distorts things. | ||
| And in the new media system where everybody's got a camera and everybody can expose what they're doing, they are extincting themselves. | ||
| It's not Infowars destroying mainstream media. | ||
| They're doing it to themselves. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| The media is not doing its job. | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| But, like, we've already discussed... | ||
| Neither are you, Alex. | ||
| Well, he is doing his job. | ||
| It's just not a good job. | ||
| Oh, that's true. | ||
| But, like, we already discussed at the beginning of the episode, Alex Jones bringing into his narrative a misrepresented piece of video that a citizen journalist captured out the window of his hotel. | ||
| Like, great. | ||
| Everyone can do this, but it doesn't mean it's... | ||
| Real. | ||
| It doesn't mean that anyone has any information about the context that things are in. | ||
| Anybody can have a camera and capture stuff out of context. | ||
| Anybody can have a blog and post whatever they want on it. | ||
| It doesn't... | ||
| Yeah, I do. | ||
| Knowledgefight.com slash AJ... | ||
| Yeah, anyways. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's not journalism. | ||
| It's not truth. | ||
| It's not real. | ||
| I think we are at the point now, though, where every interaction with Trump should be recorded. | ||
| Every interaction with the police should be recorded. | ||
| Isn't it? | ||
| Like for Trump, presidential record laws and stuff? | ||
| No, I'm talking about her phone call. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Like she should have started recording immediately. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like you should, if you ever get anywhere near any of these people, you should just turn your phone on and start recording it. | ||
| Apparently. | ||
| Because that's the only, because now if, when we're dealing with a complete lack of objective reality between different people. | ||
| Which we are. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Purely. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Then the only way is to pull out hard evidence. | ||
| So, record it. | ||
| Frankly, at this point, just start recording everything you do. | ||
| That way you can read back the tape and be like... | ||
| Check the tape. | ||
| There you go! | ||
| Apparently... | ||
| Unless you're Nixon, in which case, what were you doing in those 35 minutes when that tape was turned out? | ||
| What were you doing, Nixon? | ||
| Apparently, Donald Trump's daughter-in-law has said that there's a transcript of the phone call, but the White House has denied that that's the case. | ||
| So we know it's true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Probably. | |
| And it doesn't look good. | ||
| No, of course not. | ||
| So now we move on to Monday, and... | ||
| Has anybody ever described Trump as gracious? | ||
| Trump? | ||
| I'm getting senile. | ||
| I know one guy. | ||
| His name? | ||
| Alex Jones? | ||
| John Barron. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| His fake publicist character? | ||
| Oh, that's true. | ||
| The guy who we would call... | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| We're jumping into Monday now, and here's how Alex Jones opens the show on Monday. | ||
| It starts with a lie, and then ends up in something Mark Dicey. | ||
| But it has nothing to do with Mark Dice. | ||
| It's just Dicey, and I was hot-dogging on language. | ||
| There you go. | ||

| Globalists claim they're altruistic. | ||
| They claim they have all the answers. | ||
| They claim they have this great vision for us. | ||
| But in truth, they are the fallen souls. | ||
| And that evidence is all being made manifest right now. | ||
| Every day. | ||
| Even mainstream media and top globalist publications have to come out and admit the truth about where we... | ||
| Hold on a second. | ||
| We need to reboot. | ||
| Because I accidentally thought that was Rush. | ||
| That's not Rush. | ||
| That sounds like Geddy Lee. | ||
| Check the chat room. | ||
| They're going to be fucking dancing all over my face. | ||
| They're not going to be happy with it. | ||
| Oh boy, this is going to ruin all credibility of my Godzilla arguments. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| So anyway, I just paused it so we can actually listen to what he's saying here. | ||
| We are as a society and a civilization. | ||
| Here is the World Economic Forum. | ||
| That's basically Bilderberg Group Public coming out and saying that... | ||
| I feel deeply ashamed... | ||
| Bilderberg Group Public. | ||
| I feel deeply ashamed of thinking that was Rush now. | ||
| Oh, good asshole. | ||
| Sorry about that. | ||
| All right, back to the clip. | ||
| Scientists know what you think, and they know how to control your mind using electromagnetic waves. | ||
| True. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, I remember them floating that almost 20 years ago in the Baltimore Sun where the CIA admitted they were adding augmentation systems to cell towers in the Baltimore area with DARPA to practice mind-controlling the public. | ||
| Yes, we're not in Kansas anymore. | ||
| This gets to Hamamoto-style shit. | ||
| And hopefully neither will be Sam Brownback. | ||
| So this is an article that Alex is referencing out of the World Economic Forum, and if you just read the headline, it sounds scary as shit. | ||
| Let's read it. | ||
| The headline is, scientists can now control how you think. | ||
| I bet they are going to spend the next article, the next, you know, byline just going... | ||
| Word by word. | ||
| We now control you. | ||
| Here's how it all works. | ||
| We're going to control your mind. | ||
| Alex does not read articles. | ||
| I think we've established that. | ||
| That is a really scary headline, although I admit that. | ||
| It's a sensationalized headline. | ||
| Well, also, I would like to posit this really important thing. | ||
| It's they control how you think, not... | ||
| What you think. | ||
| That's an important little bit of a word here. | ||
| So here's what this article is about. | ||
| A team of researchers from Boston University has explored the possibility of enhancing a person's ability to learn and control their behavior. | ||
| And it's not saying they can't control your behavior. | ||
| It's your ability to control your own behavior. | ||
| It's conditioning. | ||
| Right. | ||
| In short, to change how people think, by stimulating the brain. | ||
| Boston University researcher Robert Reinhart used a new form of brain stimulation called high-definition transcranial alternating current stimulation, also known as HDTACs, to turbocharge two brain regions that influence how we learn. | ||
| If you make an error... | ||
| This brain area fires. | ||
| If I tell you you made an error, it also fires. | ||
| If something surprises you, it fires, Reinhardt said in a BU research press release, referring to the medial frontal cortex, which he calls the, quote, alarm bell of the brain. | ||
| Reinhardt and his colleagues found that stimulating this region as well as the lateral prefrontal cortex could change how a person learns. | ||
| These are maybe the two most fundamental brain areas involved in the executive function and self-control. | ||
| So they published a study about this, and here's what they did. | ||
| Reinhardt's team tested 30 healthy people, each wearing a soft cap with electrodes that conveyed the stimulation. | ||
| The test was simple. | ||
| Each subject had to press a button every 1.7 seconds. | ||
| In the first three rounds of tests, the researchers either cranked up the synchronicity between the two lobes, disrupted it, or did nothing. | ||
| The participants' brain activity, monitored by an electroencephalogram, or an EEG, showed statistically significant results. | ||
| When the brain waves were upped, the subjects learned faster and made fewer mistakes. | ||
| When they made the mistakes, they corrected them abruptly. | ||
| When the brain wave was disrupted, they made more errors and learned more slowly. | ||
| What was even more surprising was that when 30 new participants took an adjusted version of the test, The group started with their brain activity temporarily disrupted, but then received stimulation in the middle of the activity. | ||
| The participants quickly recovered their original brain synchronicity levels and learned behaviors. | ||
| We were shocked by the results and how quickly the effects of stimulation could be reversed. | ||
| So basically all they've done is found brain areas you can stimulate that allow you to learn faster. | ||
| The bigger question, Summers, another brain research scientist at Boston University, who was not a part of the study, which should be noted. | ||
| The bigger question, Summers noted, is how far a person can go with such technology. | ||
| Who doesn't want to have their brain performance enhanced? | ||
| This could produce the same effects as nootropics or smart drugs, but with fewer potential side effects. | ||
| And? | ||
| Could work. | ||
| Yeah, as the brain is stimulated directly. | ||
| Having access to such technology could be a game changer. | ||
| But as with smart drugs, there's the question of who should have access to such technology and whether or not those smart drugs are real. | ||
| But the point is, this is a very interesting study. | ||
| It has nothing to do with brain control or anything like that, or brainwashing. | ||
| Alex is completely lying about that. | ||
| And he sells brain pills. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Of course he has a vested interest in making you afraid of those things. | ||
| There's a certain part of me that believes no mainstream outlet should be allowed to report on science at all. | ||
| It's so complicated. | ||
| That's why we get so many different, can science turn your balls into two oranges? | ||
| Why are we doing that? | ||
| Science clickbait, baby. | ||
| If you read the article, it's going to be like... | ||
| Six scientists at MIT put a little thing on a mouse, and maybe that helped. | ||
| And it's balls turned orange. | ||
| It's still 20 years away from being useful. | ||
| Like, they just love these headlines that are like, oh, we found a new buh, and it's never that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's just bullshit. | ||
| It is. | ||
| And Alex, he knows that. | ||
| And that's why he doesn't read articles. | ||
| You just read the headlines. | ||
| Yeah, if you read the headline, you can make whatever up you want. | ||
| Make up some bullshit. | ||
| And people might as well believe it. | ||
| And so here's where he goes from there. | ||
| And that dovetails with our first big piece of news today that I'm going to cover in more detail coming up in this hour. | ||
| Vladimir Putin has come out and warned that we must be extremely moral and that we must be informed and involved. | ||
| Our AI will take over and basically enslave us. | ||
| And that if bad people get control of AI first, it will be used to again enslave humanity. | ||
| Like Robert Mercer. | ||
| That's my big fear is that the globalists are going to use it for control. | ||
| They've used everything else for that. | ||
| Like Robert Mercer. | ||
| Putin now warns. | ||
| Of a future sci-fi superhuman soldier is more destructive than nuclear bombs who feel no fear or pain. | ||
| The globalists want machines because they'll follow illegal orders. | ||
| But the real goal is to turn us into the machines. | ||
| Less human than human, but more human than human. | ||
| So let's go ahead. | ||
| I will read the closed captions and play what the president of Russia had to say. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| More and more, I'm noticing that... | ||
| Anytime Putin says something, Alex takes note. | ||
| Alex covers... | ||
| Gotta be front-page news on that. | ||
| Alex covers quotes and things that Putin puts out into the world unquestioningly, which should be no surprise to us, quite frankly. | ||
| But it's brazen, the way he's just like, I love Russia. | ||
| They are great. | ||
| Also, that's a dumb thing to say. | ||
| Humans are the least effective military thing. | ||
| Like, what we should be making is... | ||
| Really effective robots. | ||
| Why am I giving advice to the people? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| This is a bad idea. | ||
| You and I both end up diving into that accidentally sometimes. | ||
| Anyways, AT-ATs from Star Wars were a very ill-advised weapon. | ||
| They should have put something low to the ground with a low center of gravity. | ||
| Why would you make big, tall, lumbering, camel-looking things? | ||
| That doesn't make any sense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| It was very easy to take them down, even though you're technologically unprepared for it. | ||
| They got long legs. | ||
| This is exactly like... | ||
| Human enhancement. | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| Also, I'm now for AI taking over humanity. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| We're doing a bad job of it. | ||
| Great! | ||
| Let's hope for Isaac Asimov-style AI, where it's got our best interests in mind, and it doesn't have to... | ||
| And that is our destruction? | ||
| Yeah, that is our best interest. | ||
| So, on our last episode, we took a little break and wandered into Project Camelot territory. | ||
| Yes, delightful. | ||
| We learned about sort of demons, and we learned about some aliens and what have you. | ||
| Not enough about ghosts. | ||
| We discussed the relative... | ||
| Similarity of Alex Jones and Project Camelot. | ||
| Carrie Cassidy and how they're both beholden to archaic anti-Semitic beliefs that inform their version of their villains. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Carrie Cassidy. | |
| Right. | ||
| In this next clip, Alex Jones makes it clear that he believes that he is fighting demons or aliens. | ||
| Great. | ||
| So he is much closer than even we were presenting it. | ||
| We can remove... | ||
| Those little greedy creatures off our backs, we've got a real shot at the future. | ||
| Because they're so reckless, they're just pell-mell, maximum testing, fission fusion, strangelets, black holes, super cyclotron, collider systems, genetic engineering completely off the chain, thousands of labs, gene gun, random splicing, open air testing, pharmacological crops, chimera humanoids, just the sky's the limit of what we know. | ||
| They say they want a global government so we don't destroy ourselves? | ||
| And they're the ones handing out nuclear weapon technology? | ||
| Like they're lollipops when you visit the dentist? | ||
| They're crazy. | ||
| What they are is possessed by a spirit, an archetype, some type of interdimensional vampire. | ||
| Spirit and an archetype. | ||
| Very different things. | ||
| I also need to pause to ask. | ||
| How is one possessed by an archetype? | ||
| Well, I think... | ||
| An archetype is a literary device. | ||
| I am fairly certain that... | ||
| What's his fucking face? | ||
| The playwright... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Joseph Campbell? | |
| No. | ||
| God damn it. | ||
| Now I'm never going to remember it. | ||
| It's not Archimedes. | ||
| It's Aeschylus. | ||
| Aeschylus. | ||
| He was the one who first proposed the archetypes. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| In the... | ||
| Whatever it fucking was. | ||
| You can become fascinated with an archetype. | ||
| You can identify with an archetype. | ||
| You can't be possessed by one. | ||
| No, because it's not a thing. | ||
| You can be possessed by a lot of narratives like man versus nature. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Man versus man. | ||
| All of these things. | ||
| Man versus the self. | ||
| Possessed by it. | ||
| You can be possessed by archaic antisemitism. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Also, what's a cyclotron? | ||
| What was it he was talking about? | ||
| Not important. | ||
| He just made up a couple of science words and put them right next to him. | ||
| Not important. | ||
| Cyclotron. | ||
| Not important. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But they want to blow the planet up. | ||
| So does Starscream. | ||
| They really, really, really want to kill everybody. | ||
| I don't know if it's some space transmission or what it is, because we know there's a sixth sense and a whole dimension to that. | ||
| Is this some kind of jamming operation to make us kill each other? | ||
| Kind of like The Kingsman, the first episode of that? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm just hypothesizing. | ||
| But I know it's going on. | ||
| You just saw Kingsman and the Secret Service. | ||
| I know they're out to get us. | ||
| They don't act like they're human. | ||
| It's a pretty fun movie. | ||
| The globalists act like they're not of this world, just like the Bible says, and are here to kill, steal, and destroy. | ||
| Fallen angel. | ||
| Bad guys. | ||
| Fallen angels. | ||
| Two and two together, folks. | ||
| They think we're all stupid here. | ||
| You can see we're already creating aliens on Earth with all these human animal and animal animal and insect animal and animal plant hybrids. | ||
| Let me just stop right there. | ||
| I think you should. | ||
| Also... | ||
| I think he just proposed that Little Shop of Horrors was a documentary. | ||
| I think he did. | ||
| I think he just did that. | ||
| Yeah, and I just... | ||
| I really get bummed out when he brings up the hybrids and the chimeras and doesn't say pinnipeds. | ||
| That really disappoints me, and it makes me like, why are you not giving a shout-out to the pinnipeds? | ||
| Has anybody asked his opinion on mantids or the spider leadership? | ||
| No, we need to find out. | ||
| Are they hybrids, or are they just super intelligent versions of the same thing? | ||
| Is there a globalist analog of... | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| It's unclear. | ||
| If the globalists are real, I think we can take it as read that the spider leadership is real. | ||
| Put two and two together, Dan. | ||
| Where are the raptors in this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So, the thing is, like, I love that, like, Fallen Angels. | ||
| Put two and two together. | ||
| Put two and two together. | ||
| They think we're stupid. | ||
| I just did. | ||
| I just made up two, and then I made up two, and now we got Fallen Angels. | ||
| You're not putting anything together. | ||
| No, you gotta connect the dots and find the through line. | ||
| Gotta add some dots. | ||
| You gotta add them. | ||
| So in this next clip, Alex Jones, he's just like, they don't want you to know what I know. | ||
| Namely, two plus two. | ||
| Much like Carrie Cassidy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's how you wake somebody up. | ||
| Hey, here's the forbidden info that they don't want you to have. | ||
| Here's the cutting-edge information the globalists are so afraid of. | ||
| Find out why they say he's fake news, because he's the real news. | ||
| Get the news a year before, a month before, a week before, a day before. | ||
| He's been really workshopping that as a new catchphrase. | ||
| The news a year before? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| That's not a bad catchphrase. | ||
| It's not, but it's a lie. | ||
| Well, of course. | ||
| He's like, why does everyone demonize us and call us the fake news? | ||
| I mean, we've gone through at least four specific instances in two days of his show of completely bogus narratives. | ||
| I can't understand. | ||
| That's why, Alex. | ||
| It's not because there's globalists that are against you or anything like that. | ||
| It's a fucking illusion. | ||
| Yeah, we can put one and one together. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's much easier than that. | ||
| Oh, so faster. | ||
| Anybody else? | ||
| InfoWars. | ||
| From real research, real focus. | ||
| And please, buy the products. | ||
| We have a limited time only sales at InfoWarsStore.com of our amazing nootropic brain force that I was going to say I was going to end this weekend, but now we're getting more in a little bit earlier. | ||
| We're getting some in December 1st now. | ||
| I thought it was going to be maybe even January until we got more in, but we rushed it. | ||
| So I was going to go to regular price. | ||
| So we wouldn't sell out, you know, by the end of the year. | ||
| Can't sell out. | ||
| But now it's getting in about a month earlier. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| So I'm going to keep it at 50% off. | ||
| Great. | ||
| The Easter sale is still going on, my friend. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| I think that it's important to leave stuff in there because we love to play the game where there's that sales pivot and then I just sort of turn it off. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I don't think people get a sense of how long a lot of these ads are. | ||
| I started to listen to a little bit of David Knight's show. | ||
| And he's smooth with the ads. | ||
| How long does he do the ads? | ||
| He's pretty brief with them. | ||
| Yeah, I was going to say, he sounds like less of a salesman. | ||
| He does them in a much more structured way, so it's never like that, like that turning into a swerve or whatever. | ||
| It's every time he comes back from break. | ||
| He's like, I'd like to remind you of our specials and blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| He's more like an old-time radio dude where they're doing the ads as live reads. | ||
|
unidentified
|
More or less. | |
| And that's normal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| But there is also the part of it that's like, you're coming back from a commercial break always into a commercial. | ||
| And it's kind of like, this is excessive. | ||
| But he's still, it's less offensive because the way Alex does it, he could be screaming about God knows what, your kid's blood is gonna be sucked out by demon globalists. | ||
| And that's why you need Brain Force. | ||
| Right, you gotta replenish that blood. | ||
| Gotta get it. | ||
| It's one of the, it has a blood supplying quality. | ||
| I don't know if you know that about Brain Force. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah, it replenishes your blood. | ||
| That can't be true. | ||
| It probably is, I don't know. | ||
| The FDA has not approved. | ||
| Fucking everything replenishes your blood. | ||
| The FDA has not approved nor denied these claims. | ||
| So Bread replenishes your blood. | ||
| The band Bread? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love them. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| I love that song of their Stairway to Heaven. | ||
| Peaches herself? | ||
| She replenishes your blood? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I love her song, I Will Choose Free Will. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| I'm just getting songs wrong on purpose. | ||
| Anyway, here's the next clip where I believe that Alex Jones thinks he's William Wallace. | ||
| This is kind of like, I mean, Alex is lying about everything and what have you. | ||
| Can we remove his innards? | ||
| Someone may one day. | ||
| We can only hope. | ||
| This is one of those clips where he's lying and he's wrong, but I kind of enjoy this Alex. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| This isn't like weird, esoteric Alex. | ||
| It's not angry Alex. | ||
| It's not drunk Alex. | ||
| It's Alex who thinks he's won. | ||
| And it's kind of fun because I know like... | ||
| Pride comes before the fall and all that. | ||
| Showboating, Alex? | ||
| A little bit. | ||
| It's gloaty, Alex, but there's a fun quality to it that I hope we all enjoy. | ||
| Alex Hubris Jones. | ||
| Also, please take notice of how I'm positive you told them, hey, don't turn down the music this time. | ||
| Keep that music bed going real hot. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And notice, as soon as Stephen Bannon, and as soon as the libertarian movement of the Republican Party started calling this war, we started winning. | ||
| So here's where I wanted to pause real quick because the reason that you started winning once you started saying it's a war is because there is no war and there are no globalists on the other side of it. | ||
| So you get your base all riled up thinking that there are a bunch of people who want to take away your freedoms and destroy the country by design, Cloward and Piven, all this stuff. | ||
| And then, of course, they're going to fight back more aggressively and end up voting for people who are not in their best interests. | ||
| all of these wacky tea party dickholes all around the country. | ||
| Of course you're going to start winning once you radicalize your base because the other side isn't radical yet. | ||
| I mean, yet. | ||
| Says you. | ||
| I think if you listen to the opening of this episode, you'll find that. | ||
| You're not radical. | ||
| You have radical leanings. | ||
| I mean, I haven't bought a gun yet. | ||
| I'm not saying that. | ||
| You're not out there with a bat, though. | ||
| You're not like, you're not got a balaclava on and going to smash up a Chase Bank or something like that. | ||
| I'm afraid of crowds. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| That's what's keeping us our agoraphobia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Our myelagoraphobia is the only reason we're not really radicalized. | |
| That's why I don't do stand-up anymore. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And that's why I don't smash up banks. | ||
| So, yeah, I just... | ||
| That was the point I wanted to make. | ||
| This idea that he's saying, once we called it a war, everyone got it. | ||
| Now it's a real war. | ||
| It's like, no, it's just because the other side isn't treating this like a war. | ||
| Or it doesn't exist. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| You can always win a war against an imaginary enemy. | ||
| It's pretty easy. | ||
| Well, actually, you can't always win a war against an imaginary enemy. | ||
| No, you can wage a very successful war against them, but you can't win them because when time comes for a win, you don't have someone to lose. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's fucking ridiculous. | ||
| And he can't actually declare a victory ever. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Like, his money's gone then. | ||
| Yeah, if he says, guys, we defeated the globalists, he then has to, like, it's like a season finale. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Or a series finale. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like, at the end of Scrubs. | ||
| That's why they couldn't kill Siler in season one of Heroes. | ||
| They're like, oh no, what do we do then? | ||
| You need your bad guy. | ||
| How did season two of Heroes work out? | ||
| It was okay. | ||
| There's a myth that it was terrible. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, is that a myth? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Did the globalists put it out? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Eventually. | ||
| The writer's strike did get in the way, but there was a lot of potential and a lot of decent stuff going on in the second season. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It was really in the third that everything fell apart. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's my argument, and I'm going to stick to it. | ||
| I think comedians need to unionize. | ||
| Anyways. | ||
| Let's get back to the clip. | ||
| We need to have a comic strike. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| As soon as we called out the globalists, as soon as we got in their faces, as soon as we let them know that we understand they hate our guts and want to make us their political and cultural and financial slaves, as soon as we broke the conditioning and stopped caring what they thought about us, as soon as we focused our will like a horrible, dark thunderstorm. | ||
| And suddenly the sun breaks through the clouds. | ||
| The wind blows. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the whole darkness rolls away. | |
| You're standing looking out on the green vistas. | ||
| This is still going on. | ||
| The black sea. | ||
| The yellow sun high on the sky. | ||
| Then you touch the face of destiny. | ||
| And you feel the ancient will of the species. | ||
| God's hand on our development. | ||
| And then you only wish for success. | ||
| And you feel the interconnected strength of the will. | ||
| And there's no more fear. | ||
| This is the victory against the globalists. | ||
| Would you like to know more? | ||
| This is the transmission. | ||
| God bless you. | ||
| Thank you for joining us. | ||
| Now you think here he's going to go to a sales pitch. | ||
| But it's too early in the commercial break for him to go to a sales pitch. | ||
| Oh, I thought he was already... | ||
| I thought that was the end of the show. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It seems like that should be the end of the show. | ||
| This is in the first hour. | ||
| That can't be in the first hour. | ||
| This is like the third commercial break. | ||
| He's already ended the show. | ||
| He said, thank you, this is the end of the transmission. | ||
| Also, I'd like to give the opposite of a shout out to the chat room right now who's going hard at me for liking season two of Hero. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Admittedly, there were problems. | |
| Hero should not have been trapped in the past for that long. | ||
| It was a mess. | ||
| I have a soft spot in my heart because of what was going on in my life at the time, and I don't think it's as bad as people remember it as. | ||
| Also, I'd like to say that the reboot of Heroes was terrible. | ||
| This is a whole new Godzilla vs. | ||
| Mothra situation. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| We gotta let this one go. | ||
| Alright, here we go. | ||
| Could somebody get me a transcript of what he just said there? | ||
| Because that was freeform poetry of the most insane kind. | ||
| You touched the brilliance of the species. | ||
| And the face of destiny and the... | ||
| Ancient will, and you find out that the will is interconnected with other wills. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The fuck are you talking about? | ||
| And he listened back to that and jerked off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Totally. | |
| He's like, I nailed it. | ||
| Crushed it. | ||
| That level one of improv training at Second City was worth every penny, my friend. | ||
| So that's, like I said, this is where you think he's going to pivot to an ad, because that's kind of his thing. | ||
| It sounds right. | ||
| But here's what he does instead. | ||
| Now, let me get into the Democrat Party news. | ||
| The Democratic Party is done. | ||
| Unless we let them mind control us by just nagging and stirring up trouble and lying. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Good. | ||
| You know, you do this... | ||
| I agree with him. | ||
| The Democratic Party is done. | ||
| Well, you do this, like, minute and a half free-form speech that you think... | ||
| You're like, I am... | ||
| Like, it's Patton. | ||
| Perfect. | ||
| That's what he's channeling there. | ||
| No, he's standing behind a giant American flag. | ||
| And then he's like... | ||
| Or standing in front of a giant American flag. | ||
| He's like, let's get to the news. | ||
| Let's get to the Democrat news. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| They're going to lose unless they brainwash us with nagging. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like he becomes a sitcom husband or something like that. | |
| Nag, nag, nag. | ||
| That's all these Democrats do. | ||
| Tim Allen. | ||
| It's home improvement. | ||
| This is not good analysis. | ||
| I do think the Democratic Party is done, though. | ||
| I think they've pretty successfully chosen to hate everybody. | ||
| Did you see what happened with the DNC recently? | ||
| They got rid of everybody who wasn't loyal to the corporate wing of the Democratic Party. | ||
| Those hoes ain't loyal. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So they're actively trying not to learn a lesson. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| They're trying so hard not to learn a lesson. | ||
| What they're doing is they're doing the same thing that the Republicans did in, what was it, 2008, with the Tea Party and all of that stuff. | ||
| They are trying to exploit the people who are radicalized or who are successfully becoming more and more progressive in order to further a corporate agenda. | ||
| Get the votes. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So the Democratic Party. | |
| It's a bad idea because, again... | ||
| They're fucking stupid. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| The Democratic Party is led by the dumbest people on the planet. | ||
| It does look that way. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Except for Alex Jones' audience. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's true. | |
| The Democratic Party is second to them. | ||
| Because there's no way to top people who fall for this bullshit. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, in this next clip... | ||
| No, we need a third party. | ||
| In this next clip, it's a little bit long. | ||
| Alex throws in a bunch of lie narratives, and we'll get to those and discuss what's wrong with them. | ||
| But in the process, he does another one of his favorite things. | ||
| He outs a source. | ||
| These little stumbling blocks and getting past Hollywood and kind of the mesmerized mind-control state we were in, that's the child's play. | ||
| And now we're just getting a breath because the next obstacles are here. | ||
| So here it is, total vindication. | ||
| Just like we told you at this very time last week that the president was looking, barring new information, to release the JFK files. | ||
| So, real quick. | ||
| Now we get into some fun conspiracies. | ||
| So, Roger Stone came on over the weekend, I believe, or maybe it was on Friday, and he said that he talked to Trump and that Trump was, he heard him out about the JFK stuff, but he didn't say that he was going to do it, but Roger believed he was going to. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So now, on Monday's show, Roger Stone comes back on, and they present it as, he said he was going to do it, but you didn't want to put that out publicly. | ||
| So they're already sort of rewriting what the truth of what they were saying is. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But then further... | ||
| All Trump is doing is not blocking it. | ||
| There's a law in 1992 that all of these files would be released on October 26, 2017. | ||
| That was what the law was from the 90s. | ||
| The president has the discretion to either block or allow it. | ||
| And if he doesn't do anything, it just automatically would be released. | ||
| It's not like he went into the libraries himself and pulled them out from unhidden stacks. | ||
| Release these files! | ||
| Have you no decency? | ||
|
unidentified
|
How much fun would it be if we actually find out LBJ killed JFK? | |
| That's what Roger Stone says. | ||
| And they just were like, I guess we gotta let everybody know now. | ||
| Like, how much fun would that be? | ||
| That'd be madness. | ||
| That would be hilarious. | ||
| It'd be a perfect distraction for all the bullshit Trump was doing. | ||
| Oh, of course. | ||
| But also, it really feeds in perfectly with Alex's they're gonna kill Trump narrative and all that. | ||
| So, like, it's just, it's like... | ||
| Manna from heaven for a propagandist. | ||
| These converting storylines. | ||
| And as we know, if LBJ actually did kill Kennedy, Bush Jr. would totally have let us know. | ||
| Like, in one of his speeches immediately... | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| He would have been like, the French have no word for entrepreneur, and LBJ killed JFK. | ||
| Entrepreneur! | ||
| So anyway, here we go. | ||
| Let's go back to the clip. | ||
| He tweeted the next morning those exact words, because those were directly from him. | ||
| Media that Friday said, look at Jones and Stone, fake news. | ||
| Trump's not going to release it, our CIA sources say. | ||
| I would watch that show. | ||
| Well, you have your CIA sources, we have the president. | ||
| And they just can't stand it. | ||
| They just can't stand it, you see. | ||
| And right here, like we told you weeks ago, this was coming. | ||
| Yesterday, we broke it. | ||
| Mueller now investigating Democrat lobbyist Tony Podesta. | ||
| For the Uranium One deal. | ||
| And I know you've heard Uranium One probably 5,000 times. | ||
| But have you seen Uranium Two? | ||
| It's a great sequel. | ||
| It's like the second season of Heroes. | ||
| It does have some problems. | ||
| The narrative that he's spitting here is about Mueller expanding the probe that he's doing. | ||
| Here's an article here in Vox. | ||
| Special Counsel Robert Mueller is now investigating a top Democratic lobbyist. | ||
| Tony Podesta, the brother of Hillary Clinton's campaign chair, is under scrutiny in the expanding Russia investigation. | ||
| If you go on throughout this article, you find that this part of the investigation has no specific connection to the question of Russian interference in the 2016 campaign. | ||
| Instead, it's about work done by several Washington operatives for pro-Russian Ukrainians a few years earlier. | ||
| Specifically, both Podesta's and Manafort's firms represented a Ukrainian nonprofit group, the European Center for Modern Ukraine, between 2012 and 2014. | ||
| This group was attempting to improve the image of the Ukrainian regime at the time, which was pro-Russian and under scrutiny for its treatment of their domestic operations. | ||
| And fascist. | ||
| A report from CNN earlier this year described how the Podesta group repeatedly contacted the State Department. | ||
| ... | ||
| ... | ||
| However, and crucially, they didn't disclose the full extent of their work in federal lobbying filings until earlier this year. | ||
| And per NBC, that failure to disclose has caught Mueller's attention. | ||
| Tony Podesta is the brother of John Podesta, who chaired Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. | ||
| Though they co-founded the lobbying firm at issue, the Podesta Group, decades ago, John Podesta is no longer affiliated with the firm and there's no indication that he's a subject of Mueller's investigation. | ||
| Still don't care. | ||
| Also has nothing to do with the Uranium One deal, which, as we know, is horseshit. | ||
| Yeah, Alex really should have read further into that article, specifically because that's not something he wants to... | ||
| He should not be like... | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| That's kind of why he should have read further into that, because it's like... | ||
| Oh, they're investigating him for Russia stuff. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Aren't I supposed to say that's nothing? | ||
| I'm supposed to... | ||
| Well, no, because his narrative is that the Democrats are the ones who are doing all the Russia stuff. | ||
| Oh, that's true. | ||
| You know, his timeline that he keeps screwing up and rewriting. | ||
| Can I still say I'm fine with that? | ||
| Like, fuck him. | ||
| I don't care if you're a Democratic lobbyist or a Republican lobbyist. | ||
| I hope you die. | ||
| Fuck you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| And also, this is fun, that Roger Stone is repurposing his whole... | ||
| Soon it will be Podesta's time in the barrel tweet that was clearly about WikiLeaks revealing John Podesta's emails. | ||
| He's tried to repurpose that as being like, oh, that's what I was talking about. | ||
| I knew he was working with Ukraine and they were going to bring it out a year and a half later. | ||
| News now a year before. | ||
| That's the trick. | ||
| It's nonsense. | ||
| It's another narrative that Alex is blowing because he doesn't read the sources that he talks about. | ||
| Since January of 2016 here. | ||
| Again, why do you think they came out and said, myself, Roger Stone, Trump, his sons are all Russian agents? | ||
| Because Trump had Trump Jr., Donald Jr., absolutely digging into all this. | ||
| And so what do you do when you're a Russian? | ||
| That's not good. | ||
| Earlier in this clip, he outed Donald Trump himself as one of their sources, and he's saying Donald Trump had his son go meet with these Russians to try and find some dirt on Hillary Clinton's relationship with Russia. | ||
| Even if that's true, that's illegal. | ||
| Still not good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Still not good. | ||
| And he's presenting it as, of course, I talked to Trump. | ||
| I get the information from Trump. | ||
| So if that's the case... | ||
| Holy shit. | ||
| Still not good. | ||
| All of this is worse when he says it. | ||
| Tremendously bad. | ||
| And he doesn't even understand why it's the worst thing. | ||
| But he's also probably lying. | ||
| Oh, of course. | ||
| But be that as it may, it's still alarming. | ||
| Trump is busy being dicks to fallen soldiers' widows. | ||
| He doesn't have time to be a dick to Alex, too. | ||
| And mysteriously, almost every black person who speaks up in public. | ||
| Who would have guessed? | ||
| Yeah, it seems like there's a running trend of that. | ||
| Who would have guessed? | ||
| Minion. | ||
| They're not a Russian spy. | ||
| They just got paid off by him. | ||
| That's just money. | ||
| What are you going to do when that happens? | ||
| You're going to point the fingers at the people that catch you. | ||
| One of the oldest tricks in the book is, you know, you catch somebody robbing your neighbor's house, and another neighbor shows up and doesn't know either one of you, and the guy carrying out the computer says, he's actually the thief. | ||
| Hold your gun on him. | ||
| Good. | ||
| Let's wait until the cops get here. | ||
| Good job. | ||
| That's a perfect analogy. | ||
| There's a lot of problems. | ||
| That is a perfect analogy. | ||
| There's a number of problems. | ||
| I understood the first situation so much better by hearing that analogy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because, look, if you show up at a house with a gun... | ||
|
unidentified
|
He said more words. | |
| He said that if someone is coming out with a computer... | ||
| What he said was fucking bananas. | ||
| So if you get caught stealing a computer from someone's house, you're like walking out with a desktop or something like that. | ||
| And the guy's like, this is my house, that is my computer. | ||
| And you are a stranger who has a gun. | ||
| I think, first of all, this situation has the potential to get very out of control. | ||
| But second, let's say you're stealing the computer, you don't have a weapon yourself. | ||
| I think this argument would end up being you drop the computer and run away. | ||
| You don't say, like, no, this is my house. | ||
| I feel like this is more of an evil twin situation where you've got alternate dimension twins and they're both going on there. | ||
| Or a Freaky Friday. | ||
| Shoot him! | ||
| No, shoot him! | ||
| And you're sitting there and I don't know which one is the real one! | ||
| Or the Adventures of Pluto Nash. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There we go. | |
| This is a great movie. | ||
| I don't really believe that, but I'm sick and tired of this goddamn chat room. | ||
| Really should be more appreciative of the people watching. | ||
| You are really starting to piss me off. | ||
| You are antagonizing the chat room. | ||
| How do you not know? | ||
| I'm really getting under my skin with this. | ||
| You're not good at this. | ||
| You're not good at being trolled, Dan. | ||
| I don't care, so let's get back to the clip. | ||
| As soon as that guy with the gun starts walking off, he runs. | ||
| That's exactly what we've got here. | ||
| So Mueller now investigating Democrat lobbyist Tony Podesta. | ||
| Get more into this in the next hour. | ||
| Senate probe asked whether Robert Mueller alerted Obama administration to Russia bribery scheme. | ||
| Well, yeah, they killed the investigation. | ||
| That's all confirmed. | ||
| But see, now it's mainstream news. | ||
| Robert Mueller investigated and invested, is being investigated for investing in hedge funds linked to Russia and George Sordos. | ||
| We told you years ago that happened. | ||
| Mueller investigating Infowars expose of Dems on Russia payroll. | ||
| Where do you think this story is posted? | ||
| I'm going to go with Infowars. | ||
| Dr. Jerome Corsi. | ||
| There it is! | ||
| That is now all, again, coming directly from InfoWars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's all coming directly from InfoWars. | |
| It's been confirmed by InfoWars. | ||
| Mainstream media. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Mainstream news has to admit, of course, we are now mainstream news. | ||
| Yeah, but we're not mainstream news. | ||
| We're the rebel transmission. | ||
| We're the resistance. | ||
| We're the battle speeches about war with the establishment. | ||
| But we're winning, and we're the mainstream. | ||
| All of it doesn't make sense. | ||
| Mueller is investigating InfoWars. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Sounds like a bad thing for InfoWars. | ||
| They should not be happy about that. | ||
| Well, I think the... | ||
| It's obviously not true, or whatever way it is true is far from the truth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But if you read that headline, you'd be like, oh, InfoWars is fucked. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, they're getting investigated. | ||
| Yeah, they should not be publicizing that. | ||
| Yeah, you gotta go to your armored redoubt, Alex. | ||
| Get back in that boat. | ||
| They looted $300 million from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac. | ||
| He did that before the president was even in office. | ||
| He did that when he was president-elect from his White House sources. | ||
| And we say the White House went with our report. | ||
| We got that from the White House saying, look at these federal documents, do a report on it to give the president support when he does this. | ||
| And now, 10 months later, he's doing it. | ||
| That's a fake laugh. | ||
| But again, the president does get the credit for that. | ||
| I just want everybody to know what's going on here. | ||
| Because there's no hiding this anymore. | ||
| It's why they're so horrified of the daily InfoWars stacks. | ||
| He calls them the stacks and the clips. | ||
| And InfoWars is in there every day from other people. | ||
| They're trying to stop that. | ||
| But Trump's like anybody. | ||
| When you try to keep him away from something, what happens? | ||
| He gets poisoned. | ||
| You tell your kids, you know. | ||
| Whatever you do, don't go in this trunk in the bedroom, and in the trunk is a stack of Playboys. | ||
| Trump is a child. | ||
| I think Alex has a stash of Playboys in a trunk. | ||
| I think that's what we learned there. | ||
| Yeah, learn how to use the internet, Alex. | ||
| Porn is free. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| So, there's a lot of problems. | ||
| I think the chief problem... | ||
| I think Alex really did just explain how Trump's brain works, right? | ||
| He's a child. | ||
| More or less. | ||
| When you tell a child... | ||
| He's looking for titty mags. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| That's what Trump is. | ||
| Alex, you did a great job by accident. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I also, I mean, like, I don't like the idea that, obviously, I mean, if we're going to break down what ended up happening here, Alex is saying that someone in the White House or Trump's administration told them... | ||
| To write an article, an expose, about the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac stuff, which, as we've discussed in the past, is bogus. | ||
| It's not true. | ||
| At least their angle on it is totally not true. | ||
| And then they made it so Trump could use it in order to push through the destruction of Obamacare. | ||
| Yeah, that's called a functioning fourth estate. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That is not journalism. | ||
| That's definitely not state-run media. | ||
| That's not journalism. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| But, you know, the only players, really, that we could assume are Donald Trump Jr. | ||
| Steve Bannon. | ||
| Steve Bannon. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| He'd just go to Breitbart. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Roger Stone. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or Donald Trump himself. | ||
| That seems weird. | ||
| Maybe in a memento kind of thing. | ||
| Or Baron Trump? | ||
| I don't think Baron's in the mix. | ||
| I think Baron is in play. | ||
| You think that he's... | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Is... | ||
| I'm going to put this forward. | ||
| I'm listening. | ||
| Baron is the secret mastermind behind all of this. | ||
| It's like that movie Identity, which was great. | ||
| It was the child all along. | ||
| Spoilers for identity. | ||
| I mean, why not? | ||
| If you're going to run a secret global conspiracy, you don't want to be the face of it. | ||
| You don't want to be out in public. | ||
| No. | ||
| You want to have people running everything for you. | ||
| You want to have a whole distraction campaign going on. | ||
| What better disguise a child? | ||
| Yeah, now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Furthermore... | |
| He might not be a child. | ||
| Have you seen Cowboy Bebop? | ||
| I have not. | ||
| It could be a time-frozen child. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| He's actually hundreds of years old. | ||
| Oh, this is as realistic as anything we've ever heard on this podcast. | ||
| We're going for it. | ||
| That's what we're doing. | ||
| So it troubles me quite a bit, the idea that there is a two-way street going on with Infowars and the Trump administration. | ||
| But thankfully, I don't really believe much of any of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| So we have one more clip here, and Alex Jones accidentally says something that I think is true. | ||
| But then he, I mean, it's in the context of a lie, but the sentence itself I stand behind. | ||
| NBC, ABC maintain Clinton uranium blackout. | ||
| CBS finds it five days late. | ||
| That's not it. | ||
| That's all coming up and more second hour. | ||
| And again, I'm not bragging about InfoWars. | ||
| I'm bragging about you, the audience, supporting us and the fact they tried to brand us as fake news because they know as fake news they can't exist while real news is there. | ||
| That is kind of what I believe. | ||
| Is actually a true statement. | ||
| What? | ||
| That when people are doing their job, in terms of the media, Alex can't survive. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| He can't thrive in a world... | ||
| Where people are actually engaged with reality, with what's going on, where they know things, they aren't swayed. | ||
| Like that Las Vegas thing that we talked about at the beginning of the episode, there are a couple sites that have explanations of like, oh no, there's a triage thing going on. | ||
| You can hear in the dispatch tapes people talking about the wounded being taken from the site of the crime to a triage spot. | ||
| There are a couple. | ||
| There are five or six, maybe even seven pages of people being like, Proof that there was multiple shootings and shit like that. | ||
| There's so much yelling about the fake stuff and just about the reality. | ||
| Alex Jones could not thrive if the reality started yelling back. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| You know, it is something that I think about a lot, is that the spark behind all of this fake news, though, is people want to imagine change. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| The world we live in is fucking chaos and insanity. | ||
| And people want to imagine a world that isn't that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So the problem is, the way to do that is to first engage with reality. | ||
| And then try to change it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They try and just imagine change out of whole cloth. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And there's nothing to, there's no building block to start with there. | ||
| No. | ||
| Like, I understand the impulse to want to use your imagination to affect change in the world. | ||
| But you have to start from reality. | ||
| You have to, we have to start from a shared reality, otherwise nothing is going to happen. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's something I learned in my 101 philosophy class. | ||
| Any beginning of a discussion is the definition of terms. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| If you're not talking about the same thing, you can never hope to get to any conclusion. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So, I think we agree there, but here is the end of that clip. | ||
| Checking hour coming up with Omar Navarro running for Congress. | ||
| Good old Maxine Waters is calling for Trump's death, basically. | ||
| That's coming up. | ||
| I did. | ||
| Please spread the links to Infowars.com forward slash show, where radio listeners can all find the free video and audio feeds as well. | ||
| And please don't forget, we're about to end the 50% off on the Brain Force. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That was a little smoother. | ||
| That wasn't as abrupt. | ||
| No, that one wasn't as good. | ||
| That wasn't as abrupt, but it is demonstrative of any opportunity. | ||
| Anytime we're going to break and I've got to fill 30 seconds, I'm going to fucking try and sell something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And that thing that he says about Maxine Waters threatening to kill Trump, a little bit overblown. | ||
| Again, we already kind of went over that. | ||
| We didn't. | ||
| Oh, we didn't go over that one? | ||
| No, she just said... | ||
| How many different ways... | ||
| She just said, I'm going to take out Trump tonight. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| She could have said to a nice dinner? | ||
| She's been talking about trying to get him impeached for a long time. | ||
| That was the context in which she was talking. | ||
| Alex is making a mountain out of a molehill. | ||
| Right. | ||
| When if you want to play this game, Trump said that Second Amendment people should take care of Hillary Clinton. | ||
| That's a little bit more overt. | ||
| So if you want to play this game, Alex, it's important to be intellectually consistent. | ||
| No, it is not. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| You have never been more wrong. | ||
| I've been doing this podcast for ten months, and I'm still trying to... | ||
| You're still holding on to that? | ||
| I'm hanging out on that hill, and it's where I'm going to die. | ||
| Dan, it's never going to happen. | ||
| It is not. | ||
| I think the one thing that we have learned from this podcast is that intellectual consistency is a rare, rare commodity. | ||
| You're also totally wrong. | ||
| That's not the only thing we've learned. | ||
| We also learned about dragon moths and a guy named Jim Semivan. | ||
| I said if there's one thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, okay. | |
| Now, of course, there's two. | ||
| Of course, there's multiple things. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There are, of course, four ways to learn. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Race memory taught me all about Jim Semivan. | ||
| Taught me about dragon moths. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Do you know what? | ||
| What? | ||
| I was born in Dragon Moths. | ||
| Is that right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, Dragon Moths whales. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Great crab fishing out there. | ||
| Oh, amazing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Crab fishing? | |
| Amazing. | ||
| The only problem is you get carried away by Dragon Moths. | ||
| Speaking of getting carried away, you get carried away if you go over to our website. | ||
| I'll tell you that much. | ||
| Over at knowledgefight.com. | ||
| See, now that was an abrupt turn to pitch. | ||
| But very smooth. | ||
| That was pretty smooth, but that was abrupt. | ||
| Knowledgefight.com is our website. | ||
| You got a blog up there. | ||
| New posts every Thursday. | ||

| They'd like Dan? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Dan's got a very sonorous voice. | ||
| He's a comfortable man. | ||
| He's shared some centrist positions in the past, though he's not. | ||
| Always a centrist. | ||
| It must be noted. | ||
| It should be clear that you're doing that as a bit. | ||
| I know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| I just want to be clear that the idea of using centrist as a pejorative, I'm not super on board with. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I understand. | ||
| But be that as it may. | ||
