Today, Dan tells Jordan all about the Nov 1, 2017 episode of The Alex Jones Show. The subject matter goes all over the place, but the throughline (as always) is race-based deceitful propaganda, today largely focused at all Muslims, in response to the attack in Manhattan.

Speaker Time Text
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
jordan holmes
I'm a first-time caller.
unidentified
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
alex jones
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
And we are a couple dudes who like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
There's a special twist today, though.
We are not drinking novelty beverages.
dan friesen
Nah, nah, nah.
jordan holmes
We are drinking some Palisade wine, my friend.
dan friesen
Palisade, I think.
I think it's in honor of area California, maybe the Palisades.
jordan holmes
No, it's France.
dan friesen
Oh.
jordan holmes
Also, the Palisades are in Florida.
dan friesen
No, they're not.
Isn't it an area of California, isn't it?
jordan holmes
I don't know.
dan friesen
I think it is.
I don't care.
jordan holmes
I think I might be thinking of the Everglades.
dan friesen
I associate them.
Yeah, you definitely are.
I associate them with Saved by the Bell for some reason.
I think they live in the Palisades.
jordan holmes
No, they constantly had to keep building Palisades to keep the Huns out, right?
That was the plot of Saved by the Bell, if I remember correctly.
dan friesen
That's correct.
All the hijinks that Zack Morris went into.
jordan holmes
And Genghis Khan, of course.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
Genghis Khan the dork on the show, yeah.
jordan holmes
Did I kill that?
dan friesen
That's Family Matters.
unidentified
I know!
jordan holmes
I'm just throwing them all in there, man.
If we're going to make a pot pie of shitty references, we might as well go all the way.
dan friesen
Alright, so this is a podcast where we talk about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Indeed!
dan friesen
Twist is...
jordan holmes
You know a lot about Alex Jones, my friend.
dan friesen
You don't know anything about him.
Today we'll be going over the November 1st.
2017.
jordan holmes
Three days away from Ragnarok.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
jordan holmes
Or Antifa burning everybody down.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
But first, I have a couple...
jordan holmes
We're only two days away from Thor Ragnarok.
dan friesen
I have a couple things I want to get into really quick before we start the show that have nothing to do with the show.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
But we've got to turn this into a little bit of, like...
Look, people get tired of fucking Alex Jones, so let's give them a little bit of something else.
jordan holmes
I know his ex-wife got tired of fucking Alex Jones.
dan friesen
There's no doubt.
unidentified
Hey!
Hey!
jordan holmes
Let me tell you about Genghis Khan.
dan friesen
Oh, boy.
So, I got a couple people I want to put on blast.
jordan holmes
Yes.
Okay.
dan friesen
The first of them is Will Smith.
jordan holmes
Will Smith?
Fine.
dan friesen
Let's get him.
jordan holmes
It's time somebody finally took him down.
dan friesen
Before we start the show live here on Twitch, I like to have a themed playlist that people can try and guess the theme of.
And today's was...
Songs with cities, or apparently counties, regions, in the title.
And I was going through, and I realized, like, oh, Miami, Will Smith, that's one of them.
That's why I went back and listened to it, and I realized Will Smith's got a lot of albums.
And so I was like, why does he have a lot of albums?
That's embarrassing.
Like, that didn't work out for him.
jordan holmes
Hey, man, a polymath is a polymath, no matter how you slice it.
dan friesen
Big Willie Style was a hit.
And then Willennium was his second album.
And I was looking through, like, what are the fucking tracks on Willennium?
This didn't work out.
And get this.
jordan holmes
Well, there's Will Entry, there's Will Decade.
dan friesen
That's a region of the Willennium.
So I was scrolling through it and I saw Wild Wild West.
The theme song from Wild Wild West was on there.
jordan holmes
A banger.
Unqualified banger.
dan friesen
And so I was like, I haven't heard that in a while.
I want to fucking listen to Wild Wild West.
And I'm going to play the beginning of it.
jordan holmes
Why?
dan friesen
Because it's important.
I want you to listen to this.
jordan holmes
Nobody has ever said that before, Dan.
dan friesen
This is absolutely important.
jordan holmes
Nobody has ever said the beginning of Wild Wild West is important.
dan friesen
It's not the same as the beginning in the movie Wild Wild West.
I'll tell you that for sure.
jordan holmes
It is the same.
Same as in Godzilla vs.
Mothra, right?
dan friesen
Absolutely.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
It was in the lawsuit.
So, like, listen to this and it'll become clear why I'm putting him on blast.
unidentified
Okay.
jordan holmes
Oh, you took the headphone jack out!
dan friesen
That could have been so smooth.
jordan holmes
Oh, goddammit, Dan, your transitions are terrible.
Retroactively bad transitions!
dan friesen
I thought you were going to vamp for a minute instead of throwing me under the bus.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Here we go.
jordan holmes
So, Jaden.
unidentified
Look, it's only a couple more records left on the album, man.
Like, what you think I should put on now?
Really?
Nah, come on, man.
People heard that.
I mean, I got some hot records.
jordan holmes
I got The Rain.
unidentified
I got, uh, what should I do next?
jordan holmes
Alright, look, you know what?
unidentified
I'm gonna just go on.
I'm gonna pick my own.
matt bracken
I'm gonna put something else on.
jordan holmes
Alright, man.
unidentified
Fine.
dan friesen
He's blaming his son.
For putting Wild Wild West on his album, even though it came out on the Wild Wild West soundtrack.
jordan holmes
I think he hates that song.
dan friesen
He's like, I already put it out.
Why would I do it again?
That's a desperate cash grab trying to fill up this album.
He fucking puts it on his baby son!
jordan holmes
I don't like how...
That's a very Alex Jones-ian interaction as well.
dan friesen
Terrible.
jordan holmes
At the same time as he was like, Hey, I don't want to put this song on there.
I've got too many hot tracks.
unidentified
Right, right.
jordan holmes
I don't mean to brag.
I got that one shitty track that everybody likes.
dan friesen
Put this on my kid.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So Jaden has been ruining our lives ever since the beginning.
dan friesen
I can never get enough of that song, though.
So actually, Jaden might have been right.
But be that as it may, Will Smith.
Still going on blast for blaming his kid for putting his song on the same album.
Another person that's gotta go on blast.
Yes.
jordan holmes
Jaden Smith for putting Wild Wild West on that album.
dan friesen
I don't know the name of this person, but this person's going on blast hard.
And it is the person...
Who created the bus stop ads for the Ninja Turtles adventure in New York.
jordan holmes
Oh yeah, they're weird as fuck, right?
dan friesen
Have you seen these around the city?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Alright, so for those of you who haven't seen these, there's a bunch of them.
jordan holmes
You gotta get back into stand-up.
dan friesen
This is a good chunk?
jordan holmes
You can easily do 15 to 20 on this.
dan friesen
So there's one of them that's all four of the turtles in Times Square, and they're all doing a pose down.
Donatello's got a Statue of Liberty hat on and what have you.
Fucking Michelangelo has food in his hand.
What is it?
jordan holmes
Oh, it's not pizza.
dan friesen
Oh, it's not pizza.
jordan holmes
It's not pizza?
dan friesen
It's a pretzel.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
What the fuck are they doing?
unidentified
What?
dan friesen
First of all, New York is known for its pizza.
Secondly, the Ninja Turtles are known for pizza.
unidentified
To the point where in the video games it gave you life.
jordan holmes
It was the most important piece of the video games.
dan friesen
Fucking pretzel.
Get out of here.
jordan holmes
Why is Michelangelo holding a pizza?
dan friesen
How can everybody at that ad firm...
jordan holmes
And it's not like...
I can understand if it was like he was holding a salad or something because it's like, eat healthy, kids.
But a pretzel is not more healthy than pizza.
dan friesen
It's a lot of salt.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's a lot of oil.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Total bullshit.
I don't know how that ad gets through the entire ad agency.
That's what I'm being like, hold on now.
Hold on.
We're about the age where we grew up with Ninja Turtles.
I don't think they were into pretzels.
jordan holmes
Shouldn't we know more?
dan friesen
I think they went crazy for pizza!
That was like the last line of the movies.
unidentified
All of the movies end with some joke about pizza.
jordan holmes
And most importantly, a line that I use still to this day from the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.
Wise man once said, forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza.
dan friesen
Yeah, there was another one that was like, to err is human, but pizza is awesome.
Or something like that.
jordan holmes
But Cowabunga Divine.
dan friesen
Splinter made a funny.
jordan holmes
It's weird.
That movie was very strange because that is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
But it is actually a very interesting look at how...
Kids join gangs?
dan friesen
Right, it's a parenting movie.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's very fascinating.
dan friesen
So anyway, a couple people are on blast.
We'll come up with a sound effect for that at a later date.
But now let's get into...
unidentified
Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.
dan friesen
Maybe.
So let's get into Alex Jones.
First of all, I'd like to give a couple of policy wonk shout-outs to new donors.
We really appreciate that.
We got a new policy wonk in the fold.
A shout-out to you, Kevin.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
dan friesen
Thank you so much.
jordan holmes
Kevin!
Welcome aboard.
dan friesen
We appreciate it so very much.
Also, someone else has joined the ranks of the globalists with an incredibly generous donation.
We appreciate very much.
Big shout-out going out to you, Keegan.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
roger stone
Four stars.
unidentified
Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant.
pastor david manning
Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop.
alex jones
Daddy Shark!
dan friesen
Thank you very much.
You're officially a globalist.
jordan holmes
Someone sent me a...
dan friesen
Some sodomite send me a bucket of poop.
Fantastic.
jordan holmes
Never not going to enjoy that.
dan friesen
Never.
It's the gift that keeps on giving from Reverend David Manning.
So, we're going to get into today's episode.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
November 1st.
But first, here's an out-of-context drop from this episode.
roger stone
When you repeat a lie, it makes you a liar.
dan friesen
Yep.
Thank you, Roger Stone.
Thanks for clarifying that.
We'll get to you in a minute.
jordan holmes
Roger!
dan friesen
There's a lot of...
jordan holmes
Roger Stone explaining lying to us is maybe one, perhaps the best teacher.
That's like a con man teaching the FBI how to con people.
dan friesen
Right.
But a con man who's still actively engaging in confidence games.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, that's every great con movie where the con man has to be playing the FBI as well.
Like, that's how that has to go down.
dan friesen
Kaiser Soze shit.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
Which that movie is tainted now.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But anyway, let's get into it.
Today's episode features a lot of people giving up the game quite a bit.
There's some big news in the world of Alex.
Which I think is going to excite everybody.
And beyond that, I have to put Media Matters on blast.
They will be joining Will Smith and the ad company behind the Ninja Turtles in New York.
jordan holmes
Terrible company!
dan friesen
I appreciate what Media Matters is doing and bringing attention to stuff, but they've made a critical error, and we'll discuss it a little bit later in the episode.
But let's start off with some big news in Alex Jones' land.
This is great.
alex jones
Al Gore, let me tell you, behind the scenes, is quarterbacking the attempted takedown of free speech in America and this broadcast.
In the next few weeks, I'll be at liberty to tell you about it.
I'm not at this point.
But we have Soros, Al Gore, you've seen Podesta saying, Alex Jones, eat S-H-you-know-what tea.
dan friesen
Us too.
alex jones
He never even tweets, but it's about me.
And I don't say that like I'm bragging.
I need everybody's prayers.
And I need your financial support.
dan friesen
Okay.
So, one theme that you're going to see...
jordan holmes
S-H-U-K-O-T-T.
Does he not know what the name of an ampersand or a star is?
Isn't that how we usually...
Cartoon eyes are invective.
dan friesen
I didn't think he was going to come back for the tea.
I thought it was going to be S-H-U-K-O-W-T.
It could have ended right there.
But this is something that he's going to come back to over and over again.
jordan holmes
S-H-U-K-O-W-T-I-T.
Wait.
dan friesen
Shoit?
Shtit?
So he's going to come back to this over and over and over again, and it turns out that Al Gore may or may not be suing Alex.
From all the context clues that I have, I don't know if it's Al Gore, but someone is fucking suing Alex.
Alex is scared.
He is shook, because as we know, he is a halfway crook.
And coward.
He's scared to death, scared to look.
He is in trouble.
Something big is happening behind the scenes, and I think it might have something to do with this next clip.
alex jones
I think they can smash us.
All that'll do is invigorate us even more.
And as Winston Churchill said, we shall go on to the end, whatever the cost may be.
We shall defend our republic.
We shall never surrender.
He said we shall go on to the end, whatever the price may be.
We shall defend our island.
jordan holmes
This Churchill is getting better.
alex jones
We shall go on to the end.
We shall go on to the end.
And as you can see, we're winning.
unidentified
But it is a war.
Quite frankly, I love it.
alex jones
I can't wait till I can bring all this stuff out very soon.
They figured out we've got PIs and people on them.
They're getting really freaked out.
So I'm not telling you anything they don't know already.
dan friesen
We'll be back soon.
jordan holmes
They figured out we're stalking them.
dan friesen
Right.
I don't trust Alex Jones to hire a competent private investigator.
Based on everything I know about everyone else he's ever hired, I imagine he's harassing these people.
I imagine there's just taking pictures in Al Gore's windows or something like that.
jordan holmes
I think it's just Owen Troyer putting on a hat and glasses.
dan friesen
Yeah, it might as well be.
jordan holmes
Like with a magnifying glass like Sherlock Holmes?
dan friesen
It's absolute insanity.
I think all likelihood points to he has been harassing/stalking certain people, maybe one of the Podestas.
That seems to be implied a little bit later in the episode that that was one of the people he put the PIs on.
But one of the fun things about this episode is, you'll notice, he just keeps saying, "I I can't wait to talk.
I can't talk about...
Look, Al Gore's suing me.
He keeps talking about how he can't talk about how Al Gore is suing him.
jordan holmes
I want to be his lawyer so bad.
His lawyer is fucking rich because of Alex.
dan friesen
A lot of billable owls.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
dan friesen
A lot of billable owls, too.
jordan holmes
A lot of billable owls.
dan friesen
All the guardians of Ga 'ul.
jordan holmes
Yeah, well, I mean, naturally, Alex Jones thinks Hogwarts is real, so they would have the best lawyers that can cloud people's minds.
dan friesen
So, Jordan, you weren't here yesterday.
jordan holmes
Use the imperious curse.
dan friesen
I was hanging out with Cthulhu yesterday.
day.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
And you missed a little propaganda game that Alex Jones played.
Okay.
unidentified
He played it with a guest who goes by the name of Zach.
dan friesen
And Alex, without investigating this guy at all, pretends that he has high-level intelligence information.
And I don't know.
I don't think so.
jordan holmes
Was the phrase no whammies involved?
dan friesen
No, but he did.
jordan holmes
That would be a great propaganda.
dan friesen
Caller Zach did agree with Alex Jones' guest who said that there were helicopters involved in the Las Vegas shooting where people were shooting at the crowd from helicopters.
So this seems credible.
Real credible.
jordan holmes
Helicopters, people shooting from the crowd.
dan friesen
No, shooting at the crowd.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
So, Alex has this caller, Zach, and the game that he played, I apologize to everyone who listened to yesterday's episode, but the game was, he says that he knows all of the information about what happened, but he can't talk about it.
Then, the guest that he has, Shepard Ambulus, and this caller say a bunch of stuff.
After the call, Alex is like, can you believe it?
That's all the secret information I had.
He plays that game a lot.
jordan holmes
It's so fucking funny.
dan friesen
It's complete nonsense.
jordan holmes
So funny.
dan friesen
Yeah, and so he said yesterday, I want to get this Zach back as a guest.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
And here is the conclusion of that.
alex jones
...into other agencies, or promoted, who I know has given us good info on air, and that it's mirrored information I've gotten from other sources inside the deep state.
And he was going to come on today, but he got called into a meeting yesterday.
They were listening, and he's gotten in some trouble.
And what did he say?
He said, there's clearly Saudi Arabian connections to Vegas and that there's more imminent attacks coming.
dan friesen
So Alex uses that to weave into the Manhattan truck attack that happened yesterday.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry, we heard you were on...
Infowars.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
And we just can't have you work the fryer anymore at McDonald's.
We just can't do it.
You're not representing McDonald's very well.
dan friesen
You can make that call on your own time, but you're not on the clock.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you can't do it.
unidentified
You just can't.
jordan holmes
You can't.
dan friesen
You've got orders piling up.
jordan holmes
And look, I don't even want to fire you.
I just want to reprimand you, but this is your third one.
dan friesen
Can I be honest?
This is a good fantasy, but more likely he called into a meeting with his mom.
You know?
Because there's no fucking way that there was...
He got called into the FBI director's office.
jordan holmes
I mean, it could be that his Destiny raid was about to start.
dan friesen
Could be.
jordan holmes
That's entirely possible.
I think Destiny 2 came out.
People like that a lot.
dan friesen
I'm going to guess that the guy was either like, I don't want to do this.
This bit has gone far enough.
Or something.
Alex presents it as like, he's called in for years.
I can tell you that I've been studying Alex for the last 11 months.
I've listened to the entirety of 2015 and a whole bunch of episodes other than that.
He's not.
He doesn't call in.
jordan holmes
That's like Robert David Steele and Barry Cassidy.
dan friesen
Hold on a second.
jordan holmes
I just don't want to do anything.
dan friesen
Hold on a second here.
I'm looking at the chat room.
Garbage dick.
Are you saying that this Zach guy is a Reddit celebrity?
Is that the case?
I think we might be getting some intel from the chat room.
I'm trying to pretend this person's an intelligence.
Screen name Garbage Dick.
Oh, great.
Oh, great.
jordan holmes
That's what I imagine Star Trek Deep Space Nine in real life would be, is just like, Garbage Dick, are you there?
Can you hear me, Garbage Dick?
dan friesen
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Garbage Dick, the Zack is not based Stickman.
Those are different dudes.
Base Stickman was also on yesterday.
jordan holmes
Ah, I gotcha.
dan friesen
So that may be this Zach CIA faker, FBI faker guy.
He might be a Reddit celebrity.
Who knows?
jordan holmes
I keep thinking that Base Stickman is like Slender Man.
I keep getting the two mixed up.
Oh no.
Is Slenderman the reason that those two kids killed somebody?
dan friesen
I'm less scared of the Slenderman.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Slenderman?
dan friesen
Slenderman.
I'm also less scared of the Babadook.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
There's all sorts of...
jordan holmes
Well, Roger Stone is the Babadook, actually.
dan friesen
Oh, man.
Yeah.
That is...
unidentified
My dude over here looking like the Babadook.
dan friesen
Best tweet ever.
At SpookPerson.
So, in this next...
We're going to get into an era here.
There's a chunk going on here.
Right.
unidentified
And what we end up with is Alex Jones has found out about the truck attack in Manhattan.
dan friesen
That's not good.
I don't know how else to set this up.
He just launches into an incredibly Islamophobic.
Quite bigoted rant.
And this is some of the stuff that Media Matters was covering.
And this will be part one of the discussion about that, and then at the end of the episode I'll explain what they could have done better.
alex jones
Look at this mentally retarded animal.
Let's put him up on screen.
A vicious, psychotic, inbred ISIS.
Look at that guy.
dan friesen
This stuff was not in the Media Matters report.
alex jones
Look at that demon.
Oh, and he just culturally enriched.
And again, it's a cucking for the left.
They, leftists in their homes across the nation last night, weren't just making apologies like Jake Tapper saying it's beautiful.
But a lot of them, you can better believe, were engaging in self-flagellation.
And I'm not joking when I say that.
They love this.
The fact that the left can bring in millions of these people with their eyes pointing different directions.
jordan holmes
That's hard to do.
alex jones
From the inbreeding.
But totally psychotic, always believe their God, like a lot of other seriously inbred, mentally retarded people.
It's very sad.
But this type of inbreeding creates psychotic psychosis in high numbers.
So it's not just the religion, folks.
It's the inbreeding.
Armies of inbred psycho killers.
jordan holmes
Then we gotta get rid of Kentucky!
alex jones
Jondo psycho inbred Muslim hillbillies attacking.
jordan holmes
Muslim hillbillies.
alex jones
Everybody knows there is the Appalachian where some people are inbred.
You don't mess with those people.
They'll kill you in two seconds.
Because they're inbred, folks.
They're crazy.
Imagine if there was a billion Appalachians in the world.
And half of them were inbred and psychotic.
And they're just literally raining them down on us.
Excuse me.
I've just got to tell you like it is.
dan friesen
Okay, great.
Thanks for that.
If you wanted to tell people like it is, you should actually get into the reality of inbreeding, especially when it's like second cousins and stuff like that, and how that's really not that bad.
We've talked about this in great detail in the past.
jordan holmes
Which is something I don't feel comfortable saying.
dan friesen
Well, I mean...
jordan holmes
You know, we've talked about inbreeding very detailed in the past.
dan friesen
Well, not...
jordan holmes
No, I know, I know, I know.
dan friesen
In the context of...
It doesn't necessarily create diseases.
It just gives you a higher likelihood if they're already there.
jordan holmes
Recessive gene traits are going to explode.
There's a higher chance of mutation, negative mutation.
But it's not a...
It's not like a guaranteed...
alex jones
No.
jordan holmes
Everybody is going to come out looking like the Hills Have Eyes people.
dan friesen
And guess what?
A lot of times it just gives you a giant foot.
Sometimes it'll just give you elephantitis or some sort of physical ailment.
It doesn't make you crazy.
jordan holmes
Who doesn't want a giant foot?
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
In Super Mario 3, you...
Just drove around in a giant field.
dan friesen
Bounce around.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
You're great at kickball.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
All of the kids want to hang out with you.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
So anyway, this is more of what...
jordan holmes
We'll be back with more Dan and Jordan on the pleasures of inbreeding.
dan friesen
Oh, boy.
So this next clip gets into more of what Media Matters actually covered.
unidentified
Yeah.
alex jones
But this guy in front of witnesses was chirping, chirping the Allah Akbar, I'm an inbred piece of garbage.
So he was chirping.
I'm an inbred psychopath with delusions of grandeur.
That's what you get when you're inbred.
A lot of times it's just delusions of grandeur.
You think you're invincible.
You're a drooling idiot who wipes his butt with your hand.
But you're God and Linda Sorcerer loves you and wants to put women under it.
Because look at Linda Sorcerer.
Looks like his brother.
unidentified
It's the same dude.
alex jones
Same genetics.
All scrambled together.
All the slave trading, all of it comes from these folks.
jordan holmes
What?
alex jones
And we're just supposed to be culturally rich.
Too bad you didn't fully take Europe 1,400 years ago.
Too bad there was a counter-strike called the Crusades.
We apologize.
Please take us over.
Please inbreed us and pour acid on our faces and cut women's genitals off and murder the gays.
It's liberal!
Liberal!
dan friesen
Great.
jordan holmes
Don't you have more in common with them than...
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Doesn't he have a lot more in common with them?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
He seems to have described first himself, then all the things that he wants to do.
dan friesen
Or at least the people that he makes excuses for seem to really be into.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, all of these organizations.
And, hey, like, the other thing, I don't want to talk about any of that stuff, because a lot of that we've debunked in the past and we've discussed.
What I want to talk about is very specifically, like, the big thing, the headline that Media Matters had is he's talking about how Linda Sarsour looks like the sibling of the attacker.
That was their headline.
jordan holmes
Out of that, they went with, Alex Jones says Linda Sarsour looks like a thing.
dan friesen
He called the guy a retarded animal and talked about inbreeding forever.
Yeah, that's what they did.
And they didn't dig in at all into other things that he says that are much more troubling.
The thing that I want to get to, like, really put my finger on here, is what he is saying.
The subtext of everything he's saying is all Muslims are unipolar.
There are only one sort of Muslim.
And this is a perspective that we've encountered over and over again on Alex Jones' show.
Another thing I want to bring into focus is today, while I was on the bus going to and from therapy, I noticed a bunch...
jordan holmes
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
dan friesen
Well, I noticed that as well.
But I noticed on Twitter a lot of people complaining about Laura Loomer.
Laura Loomer got on Twitter and she said...
Can someone start an Uber or Lyft that doesn't use Muslim drivers?
I don't want to give money to Muslim immigrants.
Something along those lines.
And everyone got surprised.
I'm like, guys, we've been over this.
Everyone's getting hundreds of retweets for being like, Laura Loomer sucks.
I'm like, we could have told you that six months ago.
When she went on Alex's show and said that there are no rational Muslims, there's no moderate Muslims, when she went on the show and said that everyone's in denial about the idea that we're at war with that religion.
We already fucking knew this.
She's come out and said way worse.
Everyone's acting like, oh, what a surprise.
It's fucking garbage.
Get up to speed, you assholes.
Not you people listening, you're great.
But the rest of the world needs to get up to speed.
This is a problem.
It's scary.
jordan holmes
You're just trying to ruin Twitter for everybody.
Look at how excited they were to discover a new fucking race baiter to hate.
Isn't that wonderful?
All those retweets are signs of joy, not rage.
It's Twitter just exploding with happiness in itself.
dan friesen
Also, apparently there's a little bit of a Twitter war going on between Loomer and Lauren Southern, which is exciting.
jordan holmes
Sure.
Why do these sentences exist now, Dan?
Dan?
Why are we doing this to ourselves?
dan friesen
Because no one took care of Alex Jones five years ago.
jordan holmes
Or because his mom didn't take care of him 30 years ago.
dan friesen
Anyway, I also have a pretty decent authority that that doesn't sound anything like Alex's mom.
It's from someone who has met her.
So here in this next clip Alex gets into more anti-Muslim stuff but also weaves in Hollywood a little bit in a fairly gross way.
alex jones
The rap sheet's 56 so far, and suddenly it's pedophilia popping up.
dan friesen
He's talking about charges against Weinstein or accusations that are made against Weinstein.
alex jones
Oh, and who does Harvey Weinstein like?
unidentified
He wants to bring in Muslims to cuck your world.
Just like he likes to debase women and young girls.
alex jones
He's going to debase the whole country.
He said yesterday he's given the world a gift.
unidentified
With what he's just done, you're lucky I've given you this gift.
alex jones
I'm Harvey Weinstein.
Now, just like Europe just took in 10 million military-age men, they're going to take it, and they're going to slaughter you all they want.
It's liberal!
Oh, it's so liberal!
These are the insane maniacs that think they're God.
dan friesen
I think he just jizzed.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no, he can go fucking die.
That's insanity.
No, no, no, no.
I accept none of that.
I refuse.
Your Honor, I would like to strike that clip from the record and then his...
I don't know what to tell you about how fucking horrific that is.
dan friesen
I don't know that Weinstein is involved with bringing Muslim terrorists into the country.
jordan holmes
I don't care!
I hope Weinstein dies!
dan friesen
This is fucking...
Look, fuck Weinstein and all this, but also, let's not forget that this is exactly what got Alex sued by Chobani.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's true.
I don't think Weinstein's going to find a good jury for that lawsuit.
dan friesen
Company could.
jordan holmes
That's possible.
dan friesen
But be that as it may, I'm not saying that that's the person who's suing Alex currently, but that's exactly...
He doesn't learn from his past mistakes.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, that's obvious.
But what do you mean he doesn't learn from his past mistakes?
He learned perfectly from his past mistakes.
dan friesen
There are no consequences.
jordan holmes
There are no consequences to his actions.
dan friesen
You just put out a video and then your listeners are like.
jordan holmes
You just apologize and then say, I didn't do that, and then you're fine.
dan friesen
And your listeners are just like, oh, of course he did that.
He just doesn't want to deal with the hassle.
Exactly.
unidentified
You know, he's innocent.
dan friesen
He could fight it in court.
He doesn't want to deal with it.
It would be too long.
Absolutely.
unidentified
He's got a family.
jordan holmes
are no consequences.
If our boy Hamdi Ulukaya had really fucking tossed his balls over the coals, we would have a very different Alex Jones.
dan friesen
Someone will do that soon enough.
And I hope it's Al Gore.
jordan holmes
I hope it's us.
dan friesen
We don't have standing.
jordan holmes
We could get a shyster lawyer.
dan friesen
We could.
We could get Larry Clayman.
Which, shout out to listener Julia, who sent me a link to Larry Klayman is petitioning to be the lawyer investigating or trying Hillary for her crimes.
jordan holmes
Perfect.
dan friesen
Which would be an amazing guy.
jordan holmes
I would hire you in an instant, Larry.
You are exactly the type of kangaroo court lawyer I want.
dan friesen
Told to not appear.
He's not allowed to appear in multiple people's courts.
And then he's like, the judge was drunk.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
That guy's the worst.
unidentified
Jake Tapper
alex jones
He's paid to do what he does.
And he just said, Allah Akbar is usually so beautiful.
It's so beautiful.
That's really sick.
And what he is doing is virtue signaling from CNN that we got your back and keep doing what you're doing.
Kind of like the individual that went out and shot Congressman Scalise and others.
That day, we'll blitz her.
Had a guest on.
Saying that he was a hero.
jordan holmes
Wolf Blitzer didn't disagree.
alex jones
We'll be right back.
Stay with us.
dan friesen
So here's the fun thing.
The guy who came on Wolf Blitzer's show didn't say that Scalise was a hero.
He said that he was a friend of his and said that he was a normal guy.
It just seems like he was burnt out on politics or was fed up with the political state.
And that's what you hear from serial killers' friends.
Or neighbors.
They're like, you know, Ted Bundy's neighbor said he was a normal guy.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
What have you.
So he's lying about what the guy said on Wolf Blitzer's show.
But he's exposed himself.
Because he's saying that CNN endorses terrorism, much like when the Steve Scalise shooting happened, Wolf Blitzer had a guest on, and Wolf Blitzer didn't say anything to rebut him.
Alex, you've had Mars Base people on your show, and you didn't rebut them.
You've had David Icke on multiple times and you didn't push back about lizard shit.
jordan holmes
They're not held to similar standards at all!
dan friesen
No, but it's fun!
jordan holmes
Alright.
dan friesen
It's fun.
jordan holmes
Alright.
The thing I think of whenever I listen to that, or the past three clips in Secession, is Alex's bigotry.
Is very real.
dan friesen
Very.
unidentified
I can see it back when I go back to 2012 episodes.
jordan holmes
No, I know.
dan friesen
It's there.
jordan holmes
What I'm saying is whenever you played the BBC clip and the guy, you know, after the interview, the guy is like, it's all an act.
He immediately stopped shouting.
dan friesen
That stuff's an act.
jordan holmes
That stuff's an act.
But the bigotry ingrained in that is so horrific.
Because it's not just that he, you know, you say he's turning Muslims into unipolar, which...
Is more to me, he's identifying a race.
Yeah.
It's not like the faith or anything like that.
He's looking at a man's face and saying, almost phrenology style, you know, like, these are the parts of the face that make a bad person.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And it's all of the stuff that people from the Middle East look like.
dan friesen
Definitely.
jordan holmes
He is a horrible...
Bigoted racist.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And he can go fucking die.
And if your issue, Media Matters, is he said something about what somebody else fucking looks like.
dan friesen
No, and they're close.
They're close.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
They're close to getting or expressing what the issue is so people could take it seriously.
At least this piece of it.
But they're, to quote Mill and Colin, no cigar.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
But I like doing that.
jordan holmes
I can see that in your heart.
dan friesen
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
And I think that is why Tom Brokaw called him an unalloyed racist.
And Alex has taken great issue with that because the guy used a $5 word and accurately represented him.
And Alex, if you want to say, where's the evidence?
We got lots of it.
But back to your point about the physical traits that he's going off of and saying things are bad.
He's about to get into one that I take particular issue with.
alex jones
We were just showing you an image of the famous Habsburg Chin that, again, a lot of our Islamic friends have it as well.
Also, the lazy eye is another thing.
But in England, they see lazy eyes as a sign of royalty and nobility.
I mean, you go to some highfalutin event with British aristocracy or folks in the upper crust, and I've been to a few of them.
There aren't hardly any eyeballs pointing the right direction.
dan friesen
Fuck off, Alex.
jordan holmes
What is that even fucking...
dan friesen
As a cross-eyed gentleman, go fuck yourself out.
jordan holmes
Where does Alex even get his idea of history from?
dan friesen
The cross-eye is seen as a mark of the aristocracy in England, and Alex has gone to aristocratic parties.
Now, there is a real version of this.
I don't think that the cross-eye being a sign of nobility in England is one of them, but like...
Like, being overweight in a lot of populations, like in Hawaii, that was always...
jordan holmes
Oh, I mean the...
dan friesen
But there's a functional reason for that.
jordan holmes
The blood disease that most of European nobility or aristocracy had for a long time because they were all inbred and assholes.
Like, what, they all bleed?
What's the one where you bleed, really?
dan friesen
Hemophilia?
jordan holmes
Hemophilia, yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah, but even beyond that, what I'm saying is, like, throughout the world, especially in resource...
Poor areas.
People who are overweight are seen as higher class because they are able to sustain a higher caloric intake.
So there are things like that.
You look at pictures of, like, old, rich Hawaiians, they're fucking super huge.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And that's why, I don't know if that's why, necessarily, but it's one reason that I've heard speculated that, like, generally the builds are bigger in Hawaii.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
Because there was, over time, an isolated population, and people selected towards that.
So, I mean, there is stuff like that.
Cross-Eye, you cannot explain that way.
You'd have to just bring random cross-eyed people into your aristocratic circle.
jordan holmes
Who doesn't do that?
dan friesen
I do.
jordan holmes
Everybody wants to see a cross-eye from now on.
You know, look.
dan friesen
I got a cross-eyed posse.
jordan holmes
There is the bearded lady.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
And then there's Dan, the cross-eyed bearded lady.
unidentified
Come on now.
jordan holmes
All right, I'm sorry.
dan friesen
Come on now.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry, Dan.
I heard my feelings.
dan friesen
I'm sorry.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry.
dan friesen
So in this next clip, Alex Jones cites himself to assert that ISIS is super into pedophilia, and then you'll see what he does from there.
alex jones
There it is, report.
ISIS leader encourages pedophilia.
Enjoying young boys is in the absence of women.
Enjoy young boys.
It's like you enjoy women.
Forcing them into harems.
That's a fancy name for sex slavery.
dan friesen
Also, I mean, he's just citing an Infowars article.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I was going to say, when he said report, what he means is we reported.
dan friesen
We wrote this.
alex jones
Yeah.
Oh, but the West is where slavery came from.
We're the bad ones.
We're the evil people.
We're the folks that have to be gotten rid of.
It's amazing.
I want to plow into all of this that I'm going to spend a few minutes here first just encouraging listeners to understand that when you buy t-shirts or water filtration systems or books or videos Goddammit!
jordan holmes
That's not possible!
dan friesen
Oh, it is.
jordan holmes
Jesus.
alex jones
You are funding the revolution.
I mean, I cannot say it any clearer.
dan friesen
That's true.
You're pretty clear about it.
jordan holmes
The revolution that has won.
Or is winning.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Or the tide is turning towards.
dan friesen
It keeps turning.
jordan holmes
We might be under attack.
dan friesen
To every tide, turn, turn, turn.
Yes.
So yeah, the thing that I wanted to bring out of that one is that you're going to see a really interesting kind of ad pivot that Alex is doing on this show.
On this November 1st episode.
jordan holmes
Very pedophilia heavy ad pivots?
dan friesen
Well, no, you should have heard yesterday, boy.
I'll tell you what now.
That's Missouri coming out.
The kind of pivots that he's doing are these really slow, intentional ones.
Like, there is a feeling of desperation in these pivots.
jordan holmes
I'm not just tossing this off.
I need this money.
dan friesen
Generally, it would be like, it's going to be, I mean, this is out of place.
jordan holmes
Hey, we're extending the sales, we're going to get 50% off, and this is like...
unidentified
Guys, we need you to support the revolution.
dan friesen
I think he is getting sued based on the nature of these pivots.
jordan holmes
Based on context clues?
dan friesen
Yeah.
So in this next clip, Alex...
jordan holmes
Isn't it amazing how in your...
I know you were trying to start another clip, but I mean, you didn't give me a chance to respond.
dan friesen
I'm going to refill my wine.
jordan holmes
Rependez, s 'il vous plaît.
dan friesen
Très bien.
jordan holmes
Okay.
No, it's always kind of something that hits me.
The idea of how we can just blow by the fact that he calls everybody a pedophile and equates everything he doesn't like with fucking children.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah.
jordan holmes
And we just go by it because it's so commonplace to us now.
It's horrific.
I genuinely believe that every Republican politician who said that being gay is equivalent to being a pedophile should be fucking murdered in the street.
But this is...
Everything.
This is not just if you're gay, you're a pedophile.
It's if you believe in a progressive tax code, you want to fuck children.
dan friesen
Or climate change.
jordan holmes
Or if you believe in a God that's different from mine.
Or if you're not white.
dan friesen
On yesterday's show, he legitimately said that Antifa, the foundation of it all, is fucking kids.
jordan holmes
Yeah, of course.
dan friesen
Not everybody does it, but that's what it's about.
Like, fuck off, man.
jordan holmes
That's ridiculous.
Why are you obsessed with fucking kids?
dan friesen
Because it's the 2017 post-social media, post-availability of people.
I mean, even we can just broadcast on the internet.
Alex Jones is able to broadcast stuff without censorship, without networks that could get sued and stuff like that.
It's just the equivalent of highly ramped up, accelerated satanic panic.
It's the same stuff that we saw with the McMartin school cases and shit back in the...
By the 80s and 90s.
And we're just seeing it again.
But it's much worse and it's much...
Alex has no one to stop him.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Except Hamdi Yulakaya could have.
And someone soon will.
jordan holmes
Goddammit, Hamdi.
dan friesen
I think someone will.
jordan holmes
We were such big fans of you.
We're still big fans of you, but come on.
dan friesen
So we talked about on our last episode that we were on together how Alex is suspiciously not talking about George Papadopoulos' guilty plea.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
That he made.
And Alex finally gets around to talking about it.
And guess what?
He's dismissive.
alex jones
The whole thing is a complete shut up.
dan friesen
So that's about all he has to say about it.
There we go.
But...
jordan holmes
Well, the narrative out of the Trump fuckfaces is he was just a low-level coffee boy or something like that.
That doesn't matter.
If he did the stuff, he could just be a guy off the street.
It doesn't matter how far up in the chain he was.
unidentified
He committed crimes, and you did too.
dan friesen
He violated the Logan Act, for sure.
And beyond that, he talked with campaign officials about doing it, and then they lied about it.
I mean, the proof is there.
jordan holmes
Yeah, the problem isn't like, oh, his job wasn't very good.
dan friesen
But it's also not a setup.
Alex thinks it's a setup.
I don't give a shit about that.
We don't have time to talk.
jordan holmes
I don't even care if it is a setup.
I hope it's a setup.
That'd at least be fun.
dan friesen
I don't, because I think that's a little dirty.
But at the same time...
I don't give a shit about that.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Because Alex doesn't talk about it much.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
But what he gets into, because it jogs his mind, is a piece of his biography.
jordan holmes
Ooh, we got another piece in the...
dan friesen
And this one is fucked up.
This might be a Mike Downer.
alex jones
We know it's a setup.
We know that's how the swamp operates.
The same thing happened to me when I was in...
When I was in eighth grade, I was not a drug user, but I'd smoked marijuana before.
And they were busting lots of kids for smoking marijuana.
And this one kid in the field house kept saying, just buy a joint from me in the morning.
Please buy the joint from me in the morning.
dan friesen
Please.
alex jones
And I said, no.
Well, the next day, he follows me in a bathroom at first period and says, here, please buy it.
And I went, whoa.
And I took it and threw it in the toilet.
They still called me to the office and said, we know you just bought a marijuana cigarette.
And I said, no, I threw it in the toilet.
Your guy did it.
You set him up.
They went, are you like an organized criminal?
You're saying no to us?
Who told you how to lie like this?
And I went, you people are crazy.
And they were really mad that I'd been in a bunch of fights and stuff and thought I was a trouble kid or whatever because I'd fight back against gangs that were just going around beating up the white kids.
I mean, that's what it was.
And I'm not against black people, but that's what was going on.
They were racist, some of them.
A lot of my friends were black.
The point was is that they just wanted to teach me a lesson.
They were white principals.
dan friesen
Oh, boy.
So, this is a very interesting piece of Alex Jones' false self-told biography.
jordan holmes
Okay, so here's what happened.
Right.
One, do you know what's great about being a drug dealer?
You don't have to run people down to sell drugs.
dan friesen
No, they kind of sell themselves.
jordan holmes
They're really easy to sell.
dan friesen
Especially among youths.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Because it's tougher to find.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, you just like...
Have drugs and people buy them from you.
unidentified
Yep.
jordan holmes
It's very easy.
dan friesen
Totally.
jordan holmes
Some people deliver when you get to be an adult.
It's fantastic.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So what happened was he was talking to this guy.
He didn't have any money.
He said he would have money in the morning to buy a joint.
dan friesen
Probably.
jordan holmes
Buys a joint in the bathroom.
dan friesen
Gets caught.
jordan holmes
Gets caught.
Tosses it into the toilet.
dan friesen
Then cover story.
jordan holmes
Makes this whole thing up.
Now, of course, the teachers are, or the principal is like...
How did you learn to lie like this, you fucking insane person?
That was our first sign that Alex Jones is a psychopath.
Only great psychopaths can lie like that.
unidentified
Eighth grade is 14. That's about when you become a psychopath.
dan friesen
He had sex with a couple hundred girls before he was 16. A big one, small one, some as big as your head.
That's two years.
He's already sexually active at this point as a 14-year-old.
He has a notorious reputation around school for getting into race-based fights.
I think he probably bought a joint.
jordan holmes
Oh, he absolutely bought that joint.
dan friesen
I remember my schools, you know, the kids who were into drugs usually were the ones who were fighting, especially at that age.
All kinds of troublemaking goes together, kind of.
You know, there's an umbrella thing.
Especially at least before, like, 16. Right.
I think if you're doing drugs at 16, you're great.
That's fine.
jordan holmes
Good on you!
dan friesen
Yeah, but at 14, that's a little early.
jordan holmes
And I would say if you're 16, like, slow it down.
dan friesen
No, weed's cool.
jordan holmes
Don't make it, like, a part of your routine, man.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Enjoy it.
Turn it into a weekend thing.
That way you really enjoy it.
As opposed to just making another chore.
Like, I gotta buy milk.
I gotta buy weed.
Like, no, no, no.
Come on, man.
dan friesen
Also, a past version of this story Alex Jones has told involved him believing that...
Like, when he would have been about the same age, he had a conspiracy that the schools or the police were actually selling drugs through the kids.
And so the fact that he doesn't bring up that stuff here, this is a completely different...
Childhood getting jammed up for drugs story.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Which, again, even that other version of the story he tells, it could very easily be...
Oh, you got caught with drugs.
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely.
You're just making up reasons to pretend you weren't the bad guy.
And what this is- Everything he does is making up reasons that- Look, I'm not saying I don't like black people.
They started the fights.
No, you absolutely started the fight.
Right.
Look, if somebody punches you after you call them the N-word- They started it.
They did not start that fight.
unidentified
They started it.
jordan holmes
They didn't start that fight.
Alex, you started the fight.
dan friesen
That actually triggered something in my mind.
I want to say first, though, that it really brings things into focus when you see the narratives that he pushes in modern day as a 40-something-year-old man, and you just relate them to how child brains process.
It makes so much sense.
All of it starts to come into focus.
The other thing that I wanted to talk about was they released all the names, or not all of them, but the first batch of Twitter screen names of the people who were Russian bots.
And I was looking through the list, and it's fucking crazy.
It's so clear what they were up to.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
There's so many screen names that are like, at Chicago Daily News.
unidentified
Oh.
jordan holmes
News Daily.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Tons of different city names with Daily News to try and mimic legitimate news sites.
And then there were like, BLM Soldier.
There were a bunch of race-based screen names.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
They were clearly used to sow division.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
March for Trump was one of them.
It's very clear.
I would say most of the ones that are on the list are facsimiles of real people's names.
And then there's a bunch that aren't.
And the ones that aren't fall very easily into, oh, geez.
This is exactly what Alex Jones has been doing.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
There's Trump-positive ones.
There's racial division ones.
It's just so clear.
jordan holmes
Well, and we already have the...
dan friesen
And that's only one batch.
jordan holmes
We already covered it in What's-His-Face's book.
dan friesen
Also, there was one that's I underscore am underscore a underscore scatman.
jordan holmes
That's fantastic.
dan friesen
Someone got the scatman's handle.
jordan holmes
That's fine.
I'm fine with that.
dan friesen
I don't like the idea of scatman being a Russian bot.
jordan holmes
I'm fine with that.
In fact, if that was all the Russian bots did is just...
A long list of different scatmans?
dan friesen
Uh-huh.
jordan holmes
Perfect.
dan friesen
I'm all on board.
One of them was at Paris Gay, but gay had like five A's.
Like, all right, you guys.
jordan holmes
Is that ironic?
dan friesen
It's clear that they have a...
jordan holmes
At Paris Gay!
dan friesen
Exactly.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
100%.
It's like, you guys have a much better understanding of social media than I expected.
jordan holmes
They're very good.
dan friesen
These screen names, some of them are like, that looks like...
Something that someone would make as a joke?
jordan holmes
It's pretty sophisticated.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's fucked up.
jordan holmes
Because we talked about that one fucker's book, the intelligence guy who wrote the book on how to take down America 40 years ago.
Don't you remember that one?
dan friesen
Which guy was this?
jordan holmes
One of the Russian intelligence operatives.
dan friesen
Wait, was it Alexander Dugan?
jordan holmes
Was it Alexander Dugan?
dan friesen
Alexander Dugan had the one about creating racial division and shit like that.
jordan holmes
Yes, that was the one.
dan friesen
The book that's taught at military schools in Russia.
unidentified
That's the one.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's Dugan.
jordan holmes
And all of this stuff is right in line with that plan.
dan friesen
And let's remind everyone, Alexander Dugan has been a multiple-time guest on Alex Jones' show, and Alex has been on his show in Russia.
jordan holmes
And Alexander Dugan's Twitter handle?
dan friesen
At I underscore ham underscore a scat man.
So that just came to my mind because you said you call someone the N-word, and one of the Twitter handles had a funny...
Twitter handle that involved the N-word.
And I don't know if you can say it just because it's a Twitter handle.
I don't know what's appropriate.
But it was at datfunny or datwisen.
I was like, alright.
Someone's been sitting on that.
jordan holmes
That's pretty...
dan friesen
That's wild.
jordan holmes
That's pretty wild.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So anyway, speaking of people who are manipulative...
jordan holmes
The idea that Russian bots infiltrated black Twitter is going to be very, very strange for me.
dan friesen
I don't know if they did or not, but some of these names...
jordan holmes
Well, they do have some pretty well-reported stories about how Russian ads funded a lot of different Black Lives Matter meetups and groups.
dan friesen
And anti.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
And they had the competing Facebook of events that wound up working so that...
Two groups of people were just showing up to fight each other.
dan friesen
We're all bugs.
jordan holmes
Facebook is fucked up.
dan friesen
I sincerely think...
I mean, I'm not going to because I don't really care about social media and it doesn't really affect me all that much.
And Lord knows we'd have even less listeners if we weren't on there.
jordan holmes
That's possible.
dan friesen
But I sincerely think that the crisis of our times...
Beyond even a lot of this propaganda and getting Trump out of office is we all have to walk away from social media.
It's very attractive and there's a lot of fun things you can do with it and what have you.
But I think it is something that is just ultimately not worth it.
The alternative is fix the education system and we're not doing that.
jordan holmes
Once I read up on Cambridge Analytica, that was the moment where I was like...
Oh, maybe all of this is what's going to kill us.
dan friesen
Yeah, it'll get us to kill each other, for sure.
jordan holmes
Like in Kingsman, the Secret Service, so Alex Jones has been right all along.
dan friesen
Predictive programming.
So Roger Stone comes on the show today.
Yes.
jordan holmes
To beg for mercy.
dan friesen
He's mad about Twitter.
jordan holmes
To get down on his knees like in Willard's Crossing, or what is it?
Miller's Crossing?
dan friesen
No.
He comes on, and Alex, the way the two of them say it.
jordan holmes
Please, look into it.
dan friesen
Never mind.
He's in town in Austin to strategize, is what Alex says.
And we'll get to that in the next clip.
jordan holmes
See how far away the border is.
dan friesen
Exactly.
Get real close to the fucking border.
So here's what Roger Stone has to say.
alex jones
What do you make of this timing?
The NFL, Hollywood, it's all literally collapsing.
I don't think there's even forces behind the scenes doing it.
dan friesen
There's not.
People are pulling the plug on cable in general, and that's really hurting NFL's ratings.
And then Shane Copeland and I were having a conversation about this.
I didn't even realize that they made a new rule in the NFL that every touchdown has to be reviewed.
I didn't realize that, and that completely destroys the game.
jordan holmes
Oh, it's awful.
dan friesen
Yeah, that makes it almost unwatchable.
I would have no enjoyment.
You can't celebrate with your team and what have you.
So the idea that the NFL is falling apart, it's their own fault.
They did this, and it predates any...
Not standing for the national anthem.
jordan holmes
As they always would have.
dan friesen
Now you go to Hollywood, it's like, yeah, this has been an issue that's been broiling under the surface and people have been talking about for a while and it's coming forward because some people were brave enough to make it happen.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And that's not, it's not a coincidence, but yeah, there are forces behind the scenes.
I just explained them.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So anyway, Alex thinks it's God.
jordan holmes
It's chaotic systems.
dan friesen
Yeah.
alex jones
I just think America's waking up, they're angry, they're not asleep anymore, and they're speaking out.
roger stone
Very interestingly that, you know, I came on The War Room, and I laid out a scenario.
dan friesen
So I want to pause right there before he gets into the scenario, because I think there's an interesting thing that I've started to pick up on Infowars that I don't think we do a good enough job of pointing out, and that is whenever two people are talking to each other, they're not having a conversation.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
It's one person says something, and then the other person is like, well, here's the point I want to get into.
jordan holmes
That's an interesting thing you said.
I'm not going to talk about it or engage with it at all.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
It's kind of like how you and I talk.
dan friesen
Kind of.
Let's go with this next clip.
roger stone
By which the president should demand that Jeff Sessions appoint a special counsel to look into Uranium One.
This would have the net effect of putting Mr. Mueller, Mr. Comey, Mr. McCabe, the associate director of the FBI, And Rod Rosenstein, the de facto Attorney General of the United States.
alex jones
In the hot seat where they deserve to be.
roger stone
Right.
alex jones
Immediately.
roger stone
Peace on Vanity Fair yesterday.
Headline.
Why Roger Stone's plan won't work.
A piece on Raw Story.
The worst of the worst fake news left-wing seats.
Why Roger Stone's plan is falling apart.
You just told us what you fear.
You fear this move by Donald Trump?
dan friesen
Roger.
Come on, man.
You just told us what you fear.
jordan holmes
Being made fun of.
dan friesen
No.
unidentified
Like, they are so scared about this Russian investigation.
dan friesen
They're so scared of Mueller.
Like, does he not realize that the things he's saying are like, they're transparent as shit.
Like, it's so easy to see through.
jordan holmes
Here is the most desperate slapdash plan I can think together to stop a thing.
unidentified
I'm not worried about it at all!
jordan holmes
Here's my 20-part plan and how we're going to defeat it.
dan friesen
I need to go to Austin to fucking get Alex Jones on board with this.
jordan holmes
Every single part of this plan, wildly impossible.
But if they all fall into place...
unidentified
Probably illegal, it would probably constitute a coup.
dan friesen
The idea.
The very idea.
jordan holmes
So we've appointed an independent special counsel.
Now, we can't get rid of them because people will get really pissed.
What we will do, though, is get rid of them.
dan friesen
No, no, no.
unidentified
A more independent special counsel led by, of course, Larry Klayman.
jordan holmes
And the only reason I know this is going to happen, Larry Nichols is blackmailing the GOP.
dan friesen
That's right.
Ooh, we got to call him.
unidentified
Oh.
dan friesen
Because no one's gone down yet.
Mueller has released some indictments, and no one has gone down.
Larry Nichols hasn't shown up on Alex Jones' show.
There's been no blackmail.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Nothing.
Oh, also, by the way, I don't know, this is unconfirmed, but if you Google Larry Nichols, or if you...
I don't want to put his phone number out.
jordan holmes
You're the first website that comes out, of course.
dan friesen
I don't want to put his phone number out there, but it turns out if you Google him, you can find it.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it seems pretty easy.
dan friesen
Yeah, but be that as it may, if you Google the phone number, what comes up is a scam report.
There's a website that lists scams.
And there is someone who has listed a Larry Nichols scam report claiming that he doesn't have cancer and that he is defrauding people of money.
unidentified
What?!
dan friesen
Yeah.
I don't know if it's true.
jordan holmes
He sounded pretty cancer-haven.
I could do a cancer voice.
dan friesen
If it's the matter of people sending me tons of money...
That's possible?
I know a bunch of things that I don't know.
jordan holmes
No, I'm going to let this one go.
No, no, no.
dan friesen
Listen to this.
Again, this is from this scam report.
This lady said that people have been getting scammed off, and she called the number and talked to him.
He gave the name of the hospital that he was getting treatment at.
She called the hospital, and there's no patient who goes there by the name of Larry Nichols.
Now, I don't know.
I want to believe it.
jordan holmes
Can they even give her?
They couldn't give her that information.
dan friesen
I think they could.
jordan holmes
Can you?
dan friesen
You can pretend to be like a family member.
I don't know.
jordan holmes
So now somebody who's giving Larry Nichols money is also clever enough to scam a hospital into giving them private records?
dan friesen
That's a fair point.
It's probably not real, but I want it to be.
jordan holmes
No, he's got cancer.
dan friesen
But at the same time, if you have lung cancer, why are you smoking on video in an Alex Jones documentary?
jordan holmes
Because why the fuck wouldn't you?
dan friesen
Smoke him if you got him.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
I don't know.
Anyway, I just want to believe it.
Fine.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry, Dan.
I'm sorry to pop a bubble of your conspiracy theory.
dan friesen
I don't know.
It's not a conspiracy theory.
It's a scam report.
jordan holmes
See, now that's what we should have called our fucking show.
dan friesen
Maybe.
But the other thing is that it fits Larry Nichols' character profile.
That's the only reason that I was like, maybe.
jordan holmes
It does fit his character profile.
dan friesen
But also, do you remember how I started this?
I said, it's...
Maybe not real.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I know.
But you said it like, it's maybe not real, but I want to believe in it somewhere.
dan friesen
Yeah, I know.
Well, let's call him and talk to him.
Let's ask him.
jordan holmes
Ooh, that'd be a good question.
dan friesen
So in this next clip, Alex does not want to talk about the Al Gore lawsuit.
alex jones
I'm not ready to tell folks about it yet, but you're here for us to meet Strategize.
You're being sued by the law firm of Obama.
He admits he put him up to it.
I have Al Gore.
I'm not ready to get to it.
Al Gore is directly...
I don't want to say it yet.
I'm actually proud.
I mean, wait until I tell you about this.
I just learned about it last night.
I mean, can you believe it?
Al Gore, man, he's got a lot of nerve.
roger stone
And what's the allegation?
alex jones
I'll tell you about it later.
I'm not sure the lawyers don't want us to go public with it yet.
roger stone
I've been up against Al Gore before.
alex jones
We are on the march.
The Empire.
dan friesen
That is a...
unidentified
Commercial break!
jordan holmes
Commercial break!
dan friesen
Stop it!
jordan holmes
Commercial break!
dan friesen
That also very clearly says to me, That was Buckley.
That was Buckley turning it off.
That was like, you are actually getting sued, Alex.
This is very serious.
And I don't think that Obama sicked his fucking law firm against Alex.
I'm sorry, against Roger Stone.
I don't think Al Gore is suing Alex.
Once he gets the details out, we'll be able to parse through it and figure out what the reality of the situation is.
But obviously, he probably slandered someone again.
jordan holmes
No, I mean, we've proven pretty easily that he's slandered just about anybody who wants to sue him.
dan friesen
I mean, what was it, seven months ago we went over the Hamdi Ulukaya Chobani yogurt case.
He was very guilty there.
He got out of the Pizzagate thing just in time.
Although he still, he talks about Pizzagate on this episode.
He seems to think that, like...
Those videos he deleted from the internet don't exist anymore.
jordan holmes
Yeah, there's no consequences, Dan.
dan friesen
Yeah, I know.
jordan holmes
Look, we have all of his shows.
He has committed at least 15 crimes in just the time that we've talked about.
dan friesen
And one of them might be treason.
unidentified
Yeah!
dan friesen
One of them might straight up be treason.
jordan holmes
Or at the very least, conspiracy against the United States.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Fucked up.
So anyway, here's a commercial.
alex jones
Everything I do is about symbiosis.
Symbiotic.
Win-win.
Non-zero-sum game.
Everything I do is about a win-win.
It's far beyond superstition.
I'm obsessed with it, okay?
And so, I'm not like somebody like Harvey Weinstein who likes to torture women while he rapes them.
I like my wife to have as good a time as I'm having.
That's my enjoyment.
I'm not trying to get graphic here.
The point is that that's how Trump is too.
We want prosperity.
We want to win.
But to do that, you've got to energize us.
We energize you.
The enemy knows where the resistance is coming from.
They know we're the winning globally.
InfoWars is just the reboot of Americana.
I didn't invent it.
I just brought it back.
dan friesen
You brought it back.
alex jones
All over the world, baby.
InfoWars.
We're leading the populist revolution.
You're saying...
dan friesen
That's not a good sentence.
I don't know necessarily.
jordan holmes
Was that a sentence?
dan friesen
The last part.
The last clause.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I don't know if it's necessary.
jordan holmes
Was any of that a sentence?
Or just a random mix of dot, dot, dots?
dan friesen
No, it was rambly as hell.
Yeah.
But the idea that, at least in Alex Jones' mind, the way he perceives of his place in the world is that he's leading this populist charge all around the world.
These are populist movements, baby.
You've got to reassess what you are the mouthpiece of, because it might be on the wrong side.
jordan holmes
Might?
dan friesen
Might be.
jordan holmes
Furthermore...
dan friesen
Might just be.
jordan holmes
You can't lead a nationalist movement globally.
dan friesen
Well, they make the argument that it's like, no, it is.
Everyone wants to have their own nations, and globalism is out, nationalism is super sexy, so we're a coalition of all these nations that just want our own nationalism.
Right.
I understand why that's maddening, but the way they...
jordan holmes
What do you think is going to happen if they...
matt bracken
Okay.
dan friesen
No, no, no.
jordan holmes
Let's just think about it.
Let's just think it through.
dan friesen
I know what you're going to...
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Go ahead.
unidentified
Fine.
jordan holmes
Now you go.
dan friesen
Now you...
jordan holmes
No, no, no, no.
dan friesen
I know what you're going to say.
jordan holmes
Fine.
Say it.
dan friesen
You're going to say that, okay, so you guys have a bunch of...
Globally, there's a bunch of countries that are super nationalistic and out for their own interests.
Inevitably, they're going to end up fighting each other because they are nationalistic.
Oh.
That's a logical conclusion that most people come to.
But the reality is that that's probably not what they envision.
It's going to be like a conglomerate or connection of these nationalistic states that exploit and take resources from and more or less enslave all of these third world countries and probably all the brown places.
jordan holmes
I was gonna say that, Dan.
dan friesen
Okay.
unidentified
Fuck you!
dan friesen
I thought you were gonna go the dumb...
jordan holmes
Jesus Christ, Dan!
dan friesen
I thought you were gonna go the dumb version.
jordan holmes
Wow!
dan friesen
I thought you were gonna go the dumb version.
jordan holmes
You really, really fucking went to town on me there.
dan friesen
Well, because we've...
jordan holmes
That was cruel.
dan friesen
Well, we've gone down the dumb route before.
jordan holmes
I know, but I was talking...
What I was saying is what they clearly don't get...
Is that if they are having...
dan friesen
Jordan, I know, I know.
jordan holmes
If they are having...
dan friesen
Now you know how fucking I feel.
jordan holmes
All right, I'm sorry.
All right.
We just had a public on-air fight.
I'm sorry, Dan.
dan friesen
It wasn't really a fight.
jordan holmes
We love each other.
unidentified
That was my impression of Alex.
jordan holmes
No, I mean, it's so stupid to imagine that, okay, you're leading, there's a centralized group of leaders leading a nationalist movement that's resurging, and what is going to happen if they do win?
Those leaders are already leading together.
They're going to cooperate.
You're just creating a different United Nations.
dan friesen
It's going to be a League of Nationalist Nations or something like that.
unidentified
Or maybe an excess of power.
dan friesen
Yeah, exactly.
Yep, that is going to be what happens.
Anyway, here's Alex Jones getting super grandiose in his fears about Antifa.
alex jones
You're saying I've been predicting this for six months.
The SJWs, the Antifa, the communist groups, have been saying we're going to launch our revolution November 4th, and many of them say we're going to kill cops, we're going to kill talk show hosts.
dan friesen
Right.
Those are their two priorities.
Cops and talk show hosts.
jordan holmes
Well, we gotta solve the real problem.
dan friesen
Right.
Actually, I would argue.
That's prioritizing.
But Alex is so fucking grandiose.
jordan holmes
What's on your list?
One or two?
dan friesen
I'm putting Alex up top.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
But not for killing.
Again, we have to be super clear about that lest we be taken out of context.
jordan holmes
Yeah, what we mean is politically.
dan friesen
Right.
Politically take him out.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
We just want the Second Amendment people to politically take him out.
dan friesen
Right.
To take care of that.
jordan holmes
To take care of that problem.
dan friesen
I am even uncomfortable with that, lest we be taken out of context.
jordan holmes
You know, I'm protected.
dan friesen
Anyway, Roger Stone is not just there just to have a strategy session about their various fake lawsuits, or real ones.
He also has some gossip that he wants to report as news.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
And Alex says one of the stupidest things I've ever heard at the end of this clip.
roger stone
Last night I was with a very high-level Republican lobbyist with very, very close ties to the Bush family and to Jeb Bush specifically.
He had just had lunch with Jeb, and Jeb told him confidently, Trump will be gone by December.
Trump will be gone by December.
What does that tell you?
alex jones
Oh my God, we should have started the whole show with that.
In fact, take that clip right there.
No, start over.
Start over, and we're going to put that right in front of this interview.
This is so incredible.
Roger, folks, never bluffs.
He's got the intel.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Stone never bluffs.
dan friesen
I was hit with a polonium dart.
jordan holmes
If there's anything you know about classic bullshitter Roger Stone, he doesn't bluff.
dan friesen
Never bluffs.
jordan holmes
And even if he did bluff...
He wouldn't be bluffing about this.
dan friesen
He'd be bluffing politically.
jordan holmes
And even if he was bluffing about this, he would bluff you about it.
dan friesen
Yeah, absolutely.
It's a double bluff.
What a fucking idiot.
This is what happens when you end up working and being partners with a manipulator.
Like, you don't do it for that reason.
You think that, like, you can team up with them.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I'm using you as much as you're using me.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
And it turns out you're an idiot.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Over time, the person who is more powerful in manipulation is going to be able to just run the roost, basically.
And that's what Roger Stone is doing with Infowars now, more or less.
I mean, Alex, he can get Alex...
jordan holmes
Is that why you just shut me down earlier?
Because you want to...
You're manipulative.
Are you asserting dominance?
Is that what you're doing?
dan friesen
Look, you never bluff.
Look, this is what happens when me and my cat get a better relationship.
We become a power block.
jordan holmes
You and I fucking get a worse one.
I get it.
dan friesen
Well, it's like me and her are nationalistic.
jordan holmes
I'm going to have to lead a populist uprising against you.
dan friesen
So this next clip, I'm going to call this.
I'm just going to go ahead and tell you ahead of time.
I usually like you to be blindsided by the pivots to ads.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But I need to tell you ahead of time so you can track how he does it.
Because this is clunky as shit.
And this, to me, indicates massive desperation.
This, to me, indicates a severe situation that Alex is facing.
This is not just, I want another boat.
This is definitely like, I'm in trouble.
alex jones
Because, you know, the New York Times says right here, that truck did it.
Do you know that it's like Christine, the Stephen King movie, or Maximum Overdrive?
You know, where the cars come alive and kill you?
dan friesen
Right here.
alex jones
Autobots transform and murder.
Mile-long Manhattan truck attack kills eight.
I knew it was Megatron.
roger stone
The truck had no driver, evidently.
Extraordinary.
Extraordinary.
Did he not yell Ali Akbar just before the attacks?
I've seen that in several media reports.
Why won't they...
Call the truth the truth.
Why won't they point out that this is Islamic terrorism at its worst?
alex jones
And again, listeners know this.
I only generally plug once an hour over the years because that could fund us and we grew symbiotically, organically to the level we needed.
Now's the main attack.
Now's the war bonds.
dan friesen
So we're going to listen to the rest of this ad that he does because it's fucked up.
But at the same time, do you see that?
They were riffing on the car didn't have a driver.
And then apropos of nothing, he just goes into...
Everyone knows I only plug once an hour, which isn't true at all.
But listen to the rest of this bullshit.
alex jones
You spend money with globalists, it's trading with the enemy.
You buy products at Infowarsstore.com, it is an act of total resistance to the globalists in Soros.
And for his billions, millions can counter that.
But we need millions, because I sell high-quality products at such low prices that...
I argue with some of my crew that are in marketing.
I think super low prices are the way to go.
The people just buy more.
dan friesen
Listen to the people who are in marketing.
alex jones
We make more.
I'm right, kind of, but sometimes not, because then sometimes things are best-seller, sometimes they're not.
I need folks to go to InfowarStore.com and get one of, you know, 60, 70 t-shirts to spread the word, meet like-minded folks.
I need you to sign up for Autoship to get great products like DNA Force and great probiotics like Biome Defense and Brain Force Plus and a bunch of specials that end today.
InfowarStore.com or 888-253-33139.
One of my biggest stressors is trying to raise money to hire more crew to battle harder and fending off enemy attacks.
Flood us with cash.
It absolutely takes weight off us to spend time in information warfare.
So, I'm going to say it now.
You want us to fight?
Energize us.
Flood me with greenbacks, and I commit I'll go to the death.
But I need the money.
That's how I wage war.
Flood us with money now.
jordan holmes
Wow.
That's brazen.
dan friesen
Flood us with money now.
jordan holmes
I mean, as a sales pitch...
dan friesen
It's blunt.
jordan holmes
It might be a little bit straightforward.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
But in this day and age, people like a straight shooter.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
No dancing around it.
This is the Bernie Sanders way of raising money.
dan friesen
No.
Not really.
Give me all your money!
I will fight my fake enemies to the death.
jordan holmes
I want to be one of the top 1%.
dan friesen
I mean, look...
The way this all shakes out, I think, the most likely scenario is a couple more indictments come down and Trump resigns.
I think that's probably what's going to happen because he's going to realize, if I don't, the entire family business is fucked.
Pence could probably pardon me and my family.
They work out some kind of backroom deal and that's going to happen.
We're going to have a problem with propaganda still.
Infowars is still going to be a problem.
All that stuff because they're not going to be like, Oh, he was guilty.
He stepped down.
Their narrative will be a completely, like, he was forced by the globalists.
They'll go back to the John Kelly is poisoning him narrative, possibly at that point.
There will be some sort of thing.
But, like, I don't know how I got off on that.
But, I mean, there's just this fake bullshit, man.
It's amazing to me.
jordan holmes
You know what's really amazing to me?
Roger Stone describing it as Islamic terrorism at its worst.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Which is like...
Well, one, no.
And two, if it were, that's amazing.
We just had white terrorism at its worst, and holy shit!
dan friesen
It was about 50 times as many people got injured.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, if you want to go with white supremacy, I guess they're better at murdering random people.
dan friesen
Because they believe it was a psyop with helicopters and shit.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
jordan holmes
But that's the fun thing for me, is obviously Roger Stone knows that it wasn't.
dan friesen
Of course.
jordan holmes
So it's...
Like, for real.
Maybe the only real white supremacy is that white people are complete sociopaths willing to murder everybody, and that's how we got where we are today.
dan friesen
And certainly, as we see from listening to this much info, is willing to lie for each other.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
Willing to lie desperately for each other to protect white supremacy.
jordan holmes
Like, consider, most serial killers are white.
dan friesen
True.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
Statistically, also most people who hurt children.
jordan holmes
Is that a genetic trait?
Is it possible that that's a mutation of the regular white gene which is just taking over the world?
dan friesen
Leave cross eyes out of this.
jordan holmes
Anyways, I am actually advocating for white genocide is what I'm saying right now.
dan friesen
You moved from a soft yes?
jordan holmes
A soft yes to a hard yes.
dan friesen
Jesus, that's not good.
I mean, there's nowhere else to escalate.
This podcast is over.
jordan holmes
I've decided there's only one solution to our problems and that's backwards ethnic cleansing.
dan friesen
Jordan, I've appreciated our time together.
I'm going to need a new co-host now.
This podcast is really just about me.
jordan holmes
I've reached the apotheosis.
unidentified
It's about you radicalizing people towards white genocide.
jordan holmes
I think if you showed enough people enough Infowars, eventually we'd all be like, it's not a bad idea.
dan friesen
I would say if you listen to our podcast and the dollop, it's game over for you.
There's no hope for white folk.
But that's, I mean, just to be, so we're super clear again, just because I'm so self-conscious about, like, Alex listening to this and taking it out of context or something like that, we don't think white people are evil.
We just think the tradition has been really terrible.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
The history is really awful.
There's nothing intrinsically evil about white skin.
You dumb fuck, Alex Jones, hypothetically listening to this show.
jordan holmes
Because, for real, it's skin color.
dan friesen
Yeah, how do you not get that?
jordan holmes
How are, where are we?
dan friesen
Idiot.
Not you, Alex.
jordan holmes
I know, but we're still doing this?
dan friesen
Yeah, apparently.
jordan holmes
Skin color?
dan friesen
Yeah.
That's a big thing.
Anyway, let's get back to this.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
I'm going to play this for you.
This is Alex Jones' karaoke moment of the day.
unidentified
Burning inside!
alex jones
Burning inside!
With the fires of liberty!
dan friesen
You doing one of these?
alex jones
Of the information world.
unidentified
Yeah!
It's Alex Jones.
That's what we are looking at.
dan friesen
Yeah, so he sings along with that a little bit.
Yeah, he's awesome.
He's great.
So we have one more clip of Roger Stone here, and it's about him being banned from Twitter.
roger stone
Twitter needs to be regulated like a utility.
The phone company's a private company, but they can't deny you a telephone.
This is a First Amendment issue.
dan friesen
So there's a couple things.
First, Roger Stone is advocating for regulation on a private business, which is...
Also, it's not like a phone at all, because there are many platforms you can communicate with online, or you can not.
You can choose not to.
It's not as essential to your life.
unidentified
Now, an internet connection is.
jordan holmes
Now, isn't it strange that the guy that you want in there is deregulating an internet connection?
Roger Stone!
Have you ever heard of hypocrisy?
Oh, yes, you have.
You're a fucking classic bullshitter.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
That's so infuriating.
dan friesen
He should be saying this about internet as a whole as opposed to saying it about a private business.
jordan holmes
But the internet didn't hurt him.
Twitter hurt him.
So he has to lash out at Twitter.
dan friesen
Yeah, absolutely.
jordan holmes
But that's what all of these people, like Stone is smart enough to know that what he's saying is dumb and it's only going to hurt people other than him.
dan friesen
And his audience is dumb.
jordan holmes
He knows that too.
But that's the issue.
All of these people just blindly go along with regulation is bad and then when it finally touches them, they're like, oh.
Well, regulation is always bad, but not in this case.
dan friesen
It's a free speech issue.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
roger stone
Fuck all of you.
dan friesen
Go to gab with your neo-Nazi friends, you prick.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no fucking shit.
dan friesen
You old glamour puss.
jordan holmes
God damn it.
dan friesen
I like calling him a glamour puss.
jordan holmes
He is a glamour puss.
dan friesen
So, earlier I said that I took some issues with Media Matters.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
And one of the issues was what we talked about there at the beginning, that they didn't really give the full context of...
The complaints.
Complaints is very generous.
The things that Alex was saying about this guy who attacked Manhattan with a truck.
But the thing that I think is irresponsible and derelict in their duty as media watchdogs is that they didn't listen to the rest of the episode.
Because the rest of the episode, towards the end, Alex Jones has an interview with a guy named Matt Bracken, who is a guy who is very much...
In favor of militaristic action against leftists and what have you.
He allegedly has a military background.
I'm not entirely sure.
He probably does.
I don't know.
I say allegedly because I haven't done any looking into him.
He always broadcasts on Skype from his den.
It's pretty cool looking.
I like his den.
All of his pictures are hung up.
I'll tell you that much about Matt Bracken.
jordan holmes
I'm out!
dan friesen
Oh yeah, also, Garbage Dick, throwing this out, I appreciate you reminding me.
He is a novelist, and he's written a bunch of novels that purportedly...
Reveal truths about the world.
But it's all fiction.
jordan holmes
Are they very Islamophobic?
unidentified
Yes.
jordan holmes
Who would have guessed?
dan friesen
Garbage Dick has labeled him as a right-wing wank fiction author, and I think that's fair.
jordan holmes
That's a solid, solid fucking criticism.
dan friesen
A lot of times he'll go on and pitch his books, like he'll plug his books and what have you.
But the reason I bring up Matt Bracken is...
jordan holmes
It'd be fun if he wrote a book called...
How to hide your books.
dan friesen
Howtohideyourbooks.com.
unidentified
Where to hide your books and where to never hide your books.
dan friesen
So Matt Bracken comes on.
jordan holmes
Dead.
Yes.
Everywhere else.
No.
dan friesen
Never.
Gun safe.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
Put your guns there.
dan friesen
Duh.
Media Matters should be talking about Matt Bracken.
Because he is the more important issue.
And I know that it's not as sexy because most people don't know who he is.
People know who Alex Jones is.
jordan holmes
Or Linda Sarsour.
dan friesen
But even in that case, they could have done a better job talking about all the stuff that was around that clip and what they talked about about Linda Sarsour being compared to.
And he said that Linda Sarsour looks like this guy's brother, which is another.
Freudian slip.
jordan holmes
I get it.
Media matters.
I don't think that was a Freudian slip.
I think he was legitimately trying to call her a man.
dan friesen
I was being more generous than I probably should have been, but you're probably right.
jordan holmes
He was calling her a man.
dan friesen
I would agree.
That's probably what he was doing.
jordan holmes
Media matters.
Fine.
Get your clicks based on your dumb headline.
But let us help.
But then let us write the article, you fucking idiots.
dan friesen
Or not, don't call them fucking idiots because there's a chance they might still come on board.
There is not.
They never will.
jordan holmes
I advocate white genocide.
They're not hiring us.
dan friesen
Yeah, we're in trouble.
jordan holmes
Look, you can really monetize this thing.
dan friesen
We're in trouble with the corporate left.
They're not going to be on board.
jordan holmes
Yeah, they're not a big fan of mine.
dan friesen
Unfortunately, it seems like also Antifa and the Democratic Socialists aren't on board with us either.
So...
jordan holmes
Oh, they're not?
dan friesen
Eh, maybe a couple.
Maybe a couple folks.
But also Soros, he's not helping us out.
It's a real shame.
jordan holmes
Oh, I thought, I was halfway thinking, like, wait, did Antifa, like, contact you?
And we're like, hey, tone down the white genocide.
dan friesen
Like, don't be so obvious.
jordan holmes
Hey, hey, hey.
Look, also, November 4th, you know what to do.
dan friesen
Stay indoors.
So, Matt Bracken is what they should be focusing on, because he says a lot of stuff that is much worse than Alex, I believe.
And if we were the people who people could rely on to cover Alex Jones' stuff, we'd have an article about him.
And maybe we will.
Maybe that's something we'll incorporate in the future onto knowledgefight.com.
But here's Alex welcoming Matt Bracken on the show, and he's talking about Islam being bad.
And here's his first clip.
matt bracken
But the actual translation of Allah Akbar is not God is great.
That's a big mistake.
When they say Allah who and they put the ooh on the end of Allah, that means greater.
It means Allah is greater than your God.
Allah who Akbar is our God.
alex jones
That's right.
They're saying our God dominates you.
We are defeating you.
We are greater than you.
We have conquered you.
jordan holmes
Can't think of anybody else who says that.
dan friesen
No, and also that's not true.
Much like he says raza, la raza means the race, it means the people.
He's mistranslating.
And Matt Bracken is kind of right on some level, but he's wrong in his interpretation, according to mainline Islamic scholars.
Allahu Akbar does sometimes mean God is greater, but the understanding generally is that God is greater than you.
jordan holmes
God is greater than your problems.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
God is greater than the things that are your issues, and greater than you.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
To put you in your place in terms of the hierarchy of God and man.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Allah and man.
jordan holmes
It's meant as like the footsteps in the sand bullshit.
dan friesen
Or even God will never give you more than you can handle.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
God is omnipotent.
There's that connotation to it.
The other thing is the other translation of Allahu Akbar.
jordan holmes
Which, if God is omnipotent, he is by definition greater than your God.
dan friesen
That's true.
jordan holmes
Unless your God is omnipotent.
dan friesen
You gotta unpack that.
jordan holmes
In which case...
Neither god is omnipotent.
Or one of them is and the other one isn't.
But then both of them would have to be real, and then we'd really get the good fight.
dan friesen
And could one of the gods become big enough that the other couldn't lift him?
jordan holmes
Could one of the gods become a big enough mountain that the other could lift him?
dan friesen
Crazy.
Also, the other translation, a very common translation of Allahu Akbar, is God is greatest.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And that is not God is the greatest God, because...
All these religions are monotheistic!
jordan holmes
Islam is an awesome girl.
unidentified
He rents from heaven above with wisdom, power, and love.
jordan holmes
And now we're darlings of the Christian right.
That's all it took.
dan friesen
Give us money.
Focus on the family.
We harmonized pretty nicely.
jordan holmes
That wasn't bad.
Look, this is what happens when you're raised in the fucking church.
dan friesen
Let's have communion.
unidentified
There we go.
dan friesen
All right.
That didn't go over well with the chat room.
jordan holmes
This blood do I drink of your flesh.
dan friesen
Also, Garbage Dick dropped in some of Matt Bracken's book titles.
Here we have...
jordan holmes
Donkey Dick's three.
dan friesen
Enemies Foreign and Domestic.
Domestic Enemies.
The Reconquista.
Foreign Enemies and Traitors.
jordan holmes
I thought this was all one title.
unidentified
No, no.
dan friesen
Those are three titles.
jordan holmes
That is unwieldy.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So that's what he's got.
Also, he is a mess.
Here is his next clip.
matt bracken
And, you know, as mad as I am at this terrorist, his name is literally Sword of Allah.
You know, nobody of our extreme vetting picked up on the fact that his parents named this boy Sword of Allah, and he won the ISIS lottery to come to America and bring 28 more, I just heard today, bring 28 of his closest inbred family here.
Which I'm sure they're all on welfare.
They're plotting more jihad attacks.
alex jones
We pay for them, everything, and then they hate us because we're creative and we're not inbred.
dan friesen
Yikes.
jordan holmes
Says the least creative, most inbred Texan I know.
dan friesen
Yeah, so the guy who did do the truck attack, his name is very similar to what would be transliterated as the sort of Allah.
But that doesn't mean anything.
You know what Ariel means?
The name Ariel?
Lion of God.
Lions are violent animals.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
They name anyone Ariel.
That means that they fucking are vicious killers in the name of God.
jordan holmes
Or a mermaid.
dan friesen
You know what Brandon means?
jordan holmes
Mermaid?
dan friesen
Sword.
In Celtic.
jordan holmes
Okay.
What about Terry?
dan friesen
I don't know.
I don't know what Terry means.
I didn't prepare every name.
jordan holmes
I was about to start shooting names.
dan friesen
There's another...
I can't remember what it is, but there is a very common Anglo name that does mean Sword of God.
Like, it is a common name.
I don't remember what it is.
I thought it was David, but that's Gift of God.
jordan holmes
No, names that are from any kind of monotheistic tradition are going to wind up being murder-filled.
dan friesen
Yeah, there's a lot of violence within names.
jordan holmes
You know what Daisy means?
dan friesen
What's that?
jordan holmes
Cockblocker.
dan friesen
Oh, boy.
jordan holmes
That's crazy.
dan friesen
Little Flower Cockblocker.
jordan holmes
That was Jesus' nickname.
dan friesen
So the other thing, I mean, you know, Matt Bracken's getting more into the inbreeding stuff.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I guess, I mean, this guy had been here since 2010.
So it is entirely possible that...
jordan holmes
He won the ISIS lottery in 2010?
dan friesen
We're going to get back to that.
jordan holmes
When ISIS was around?
dan friesen
We're going to get back to that.
jordan holmes
In 2010 when they were having lotteries?
dan friesen
We're going to get back to that.
Okay.
But he came in 2010 and there's a prohibition against any welfare being given to folk within five years of becoming a citizen.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And so it is seven years after it's possible that they were on assistance at that point.
Don't care.
It also doesn't matter.
Don't care.
So Bracken is just throwing around a lot of...
jordan holmes
I get the idea that the argument is, my tax dollars are going to pay for people plotting to take down America.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
But that's a dumb argument.
dan friesen
It's dumb, and what's behind it really is just, I hate these people.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's just pure racism.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
It's the welfare queen.
It's the modern welfare queen, is all it is.
dan friesen
Totally.
jordan holmes
I hate black people, so I'm going to...
dan friesen
Which again, go listen to the dollop.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Great episode.
We were there.
dan friesen
Yeah, we were.
jordan holmes
Yeah, we recorded it live in Chicago.
dan friesen
But also the...
unidentified
Bracken.
dan friesen
No.
What I was trying to...
Well, I did that little scat there.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Because you're a Russian bot.
Maybe.
What I was trying to come out with was the idea that...
Matt Bracken is reinforcing also this idea that there is only one sort of Muslim.
It's a race.
And it's predeterminative.
So here's the last clip of him, and it's not good.
matt bracken
Tommy Robinson, the Brit, has a great book on the Koran, why Muslims kill for the Koran.
You can't reform Islam.
It is the Ten Commandments are all kill, kill, kill.
There's no way to take it out.
alex jones
And so he thinks he's doing something good, and then Jake Dapper goes, it is so beautiful.
That's all a direct code to them saying, just like we supported the Arab Spring at CNN, we support you, brother.
Good job.
Just make sure it's a church next time.
dan friesen
Yikes.
That's pretty dog-whistly.
I mean, it's beyond.
jordan holmes
What's fascinating is...
What happens, Dan, if you break one of the Ten Commandments?
dan friesen
You go to hell?
jordan holmes
No, you shall be put to death.
dan friesen
Oh, really?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Wait.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Is that right?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Also, I don't think there is a...
jordan holmes
As well as all the laws from Deuteronomy.
dan friesen
I know that every late night show has some version of the top ten list because David Letterman did it and was so successful, but I don't think that every religion has a Ten Commandments just because...
jordan holmes
Top ten.
dan friesen
Just because the Bible was so successful with it doesn't mean that that's in every religion.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, his understanding of shit is very whack.
And the idea that all the commandments are to kill in Islam.
We've gone over this over and over again.
The analyses that have been done about violence in the Bible and the Quran show that the Bible is not a ton, but a little bit more violent.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, I don't know.
It's just a dumb conversation.
jordan holmes
Also, if all Ten Commandments are to kill...
dan friesen
I can't lounge in my chair.
I completely disappear from camera.
jordan holmes
If all Ten Commandments were to kill, you could have gotten the point off with four.
Like, if you're like, Commandment number one, kill.
Commandment number two, kill.
Commandment number three, kill.
Like, you got it.
You don't need to go through...
dan friesen
Be sure to do your laundry.
Five, kill.
Yeah, I mean, brevity is the soul of wit.
But it is not the soul of religions.
jordan holmes
Or killing.
dan friesen
Right.
Also, Tommy Robinson is a disastrous bigot.
He is a British version of Alex Jones to some degree.
jordan holmes
Every time you bring his name up, I always think of Tommy Davidson.
dan friesen
He sells Pozzones in England.
jordan holmes
First thought in my mind.
dan friesen
Why is that the only reference I have for Tommy Davidson?
jordan holmes
Mad TV?
dan friesen
He's been in movies.
No, he was on In Living Color, right?
jordan holmes
Oh, that's right.
He was on In Living Color.
dan friesen
I don't think he was on Mad TV.
jordan holmes
No, he wasn't on Mad TV.
dan friesen
But he sold Pozzones.
jordan holmes
He did?
dan friesen
Yeah.
He was the Pizza Hut spokesman whenever Pozzones came out.
jordan holmes
Crazy.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Anyway, Mad Bracken's a disaster.
Anyway, yesterday we went over, we, I've started to call myself we apparently.
jordan holmes
You and Cthulhu.
dan friesen
Me and the chat room, we went over the big story.
Big, big story.
Alright?
So Mike Cernovich was trying to give a speech in New York at Columbia University.
jordan holmes
Why?
dan friesen
Because he likes to rile people up.
And he needs publicity stunts in order to keep himself relevant.
jordan holmes
And Columbia allowed him to do this?
dan friesen
I mean, free speech, baby.
You know, you can exploit it pretty far.
Wow, Columbia sucks.
Mike Cernovich was giving a speech there and some Antifa came to protest.
And they had a sign that said, no white supremacy, no pedo bashing, no Mike Cernovich.
jordan holmes
I wonder which thing they focused on.
dan friesen
No, but that was one sign that they had.
Now, when you hear me tell you that, what's your first thought about the sign?
Like, you see a picture of that.
What do you think?
jordan holmes
A plant.
dan friesen
Interesting.
You are a cuck.
You are a dumb libtard cuck.
jordan holmes
Did I just get dumb libtard cucked?
dan friesen
Alex talked about it for about a third of his show yesterday.
unidentified
That's what I imagined.
dan friesen
It's proof that the pedos are coming out of the woodwork.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
There was a reporter from Gothamist who was on site and he took a bunch of pictures that show that it was just somebody came up in a mask and unfurled the sign in front of protesters and told them to hold it.
And immediately when they saw what it was, they tore it up and destroyed it.
Yeah.
And that it was clearly an alt-right plant.
The guy in the mask disappeared.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
And they got a good picture, though.
I mean, not a good picture, but they got a picture that's good enough.
jordan holmes
All you need it.
dan friesen
And you know what Owen Schroyer said the other day?
Not the other day, but a couple weeks back.
Optics become the story.
jordan holmes
Ah.
dan friesen
And that is exactly what's happened here.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
So today...
Oh, and the other thing that was really fun is the guy, the Gothamist reporter.
I feel really bad that I can't remember his name.
But he was reporting that, of course, the sign got destroyed immediately and that Antifa people who were there were like, they didn't even print out our logo right.
The flag, it was the wrong color in the logo.
So it was like, there's no way that we did it.
It's obviously someone who's not involved with us.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
And it had a Nambla sign on it, like a Nambla logo.
And we went over this yesterday, but just so you know.
jordan holmes
Which is just overkill.
Come on, dude.
dan friesen
Well, but Vice did an investigation into Nambla and found that they have no members.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I was going to say, isn't it a joke?
dan friesen
Yeah.
Well, it used to exist in some...
jordan holmes
It used to exist, but now it's just a punchline because of Arrested Development.
dan friesen
It's a spooky thing.
It's just something for these folks to throw as a boogeyman.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
So it was a complete stunt.
It was a complete nonsense publicity stunt.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
And I would not be surprised if Mike Cernovich was keenly aware of it, or at least someone involved with him was.
Maybe Jack Posobiec.
jordan holmes
They've done that shit before, though.
dan friesen
Jack Posobiec with the rape Melania sign and shit like that.
But anyway, Mike Cernovich comes on the show today on November 1st, and here is him talking about it.
alex jones
Mike Cernovich, what is the point of them saying nothing's coming November 4th, but then full-page ads saying we're going to overthrow Trump on November 4th?
dan friesen
There's apparently a full-page ad in the New York Times, but it's not about, hey, we're going to start a civil war on November 4th.
It's about protests.
It's about rallies.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Which is, as far as I know, part of the Constitution, part of those amendments.
jordan holmes
Never heard of it.
dan friesen
Free assembly, free speech.
jordan holmes
Disagree with all that.
dan friesen
Right.
So, I mean, Alex...
You're on shaky ground.
jordan holmes
Bring the Ten Commandments with you wherever you go.
That's what the Constitution says in my book.
dan friesen
Did you notice?
Okay, so you couldn't possibly have noticed at this point, but this is exactly like that other Roger Stone clip where Alex asks one question and Mike Cernovich just answers another.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So he's asking, hey, why do they say nothing's going to happen on the fourth and then this ad?
And then you'll see his answer.
alex jones
What is going on here?
mike cernovich
I mean, they're so weird and unhinged.
And as we learn from...
When Antifa was carrying a pedophile sign, and then they go, oh, well, we didn't even mean to carry it.
Someone just handed it to us.
Like, wait, so if somebody hands you a pedophile sign, you're just going to carry around whatever anybody hands you?
They're not thinking.
dan friesen
So that indicates to me that this was sort of like...
jordan holmes
That's called being polite.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Mike Cernovich, that's called being polite.
dan friesen
Well, but that's the sort of reaction you can expect out of people in order to, like, exploit them.
You know, you know that, like, oh, can you hold this for me for a second or something like that?
Like, it's like...
You probably wouldn't do that at an airport.
I was going to use the example of someone asking you to hold their bags.
jordan holmes
Could you hold this comically cartoonish bomb for me?
It's got a giant fuse on it.
It's a big circle.
dan friesen
It's a cake.
jordan holmes
Don't worry about it.
dan friesen
It's from the cake box.
jordan holmes
What's that fuse doing?
dan friesen
Oh, that's just the fondant.
jordan holmes
Alright, I guess I'll hold it.
dan friesen
Well, let's say someone gave you...
I don't even know how to make an analogy because my brain keeps going to like...
A goblet covered in shit or something like that.
And you hold it for them.
jordan holmes
That's a weird analogy.
dan friesen
You hold it for them not knowing.
They're like, ha ha, look at you.
You're holding a goblet full of shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Or something like that.
You're like, I was just being polite.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that wasn't.
unidentified
I don't understand what's going on.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's not a prank.
dan friesen
No, it's not.
jordan holmes
That's just you taking advantage of a human being being a human being to you.
dan friesen
And him knowing that people would respond that way makes me kind of think that he might have been behind it.
jordan holmes
Who, Cernovich?
dan friesen
Yeah, because he has this line ready to go.
And it's possible that he just came up with it since then.
That's possible, too.
jordan holmes
He's got time to workshop it.
I mean, Roger Stone is around today.
dan friesen
This next clip makes me more suspicious that he might have been in on it.
mike cernovich
And then they go, well, somebody gave it to him.
Well, okay.
unidentified
Who?
Who?
mike cernovich
No proof at all.
alex jones
But like you said yesterday...
dan friesen
First of all, no proof at all.
There were people on site who saw the entire thing and documented it with pictures.
There is proof.
That it wasn't the people who were holding the rally who were marching with a pedophile sign.
jordan holmes
Right.
alex jones
Now they're having to admit false flags could exist.
dan friesen
Let me go back to this, actually, because I need Alex's full sentence to be in here.
This is important.
mike cernovich
Okay.
unidentified
Who?
Who?
mike cernovich
No proof at all.
alex jones
But like you said yesterday, now they're having to admit false flags could exist.
mike cernovich
Right, which is a fantastic narrative win.
So from my perspective, I don't care if it was some people maybe from 4chan or something who pranked them.
I don't care, because we win either way.
dan friesen
Whoops.
Kind of gave up the game there a little bit.
jordan holmes
Wow!
That is giving up the game pretty hard there.
dan friesen
I don't care if I'm pushing a fake story because we win either way.
So like, hey, let's say one of these people that I'm really involved with in this 4chan Reddit conspiracy propaganda world.
So let's say one of them did it.
Now the left is going to have to admit that false flags happened.
Oh, really?
Like helicopters shooting at people in Las Vegas?
Oh, wait, hold on.
Someone did give someone a sign and someone took a picture of it.
I guess 9-11 was fake.
jordan holmes
True.
dan friesen
I guess Sandy Hook didn't happen.
jordan holmes
Alright, so, I'm not lying to you.
I am lying to you.
But what if I'm not?
But even if I am?
What if I'm not?
And I am.
But who cares?
dan friesen
He might as well just be making noises.
unidentified
Liberal.
jordan holmes
That might as well just be the show.
It's them having clips up where they're like, liberal.
And then the next one goes...
Like, that's all you're fucking doing.
You're wasting my life.
dan friesen
A better show would be, like, just Alex screaming at a monkey, pissing in his own face.
jordan holmes
That would fucking go viral, my friend.
dan friesen
That would be a great episode.
All right, look, Steve Pachana can't come on anymore.
We got Coco the gorilla coming in to piss in her own face.
It's gonna be great.
jordan holmes
Isn't Coco dead?
dan friesen
There's other Cocos.
unidentified
Come on.
jordan holmes
Okay, I meant the Coco.
You said Coco the gorilla, which suggests you're talking about.
dan friesen
There's a lot of gorillas named Coco.
jordan holmes
It suggests you're talking about the sign language speaking gorilla.
dan friesen
There's a lot of gorillas that speak sign language.
Also, Disney's Pixar Coco coming out sometime.
jordan holmes
It was very important to the plot of the movie Congo.
dan friesen
Sure.
That was Amy, though.
That was Amy.
jordan holmes
Yeah, there you go.
dan friesen
You are ugly.
And that wasn't sign language.
She had a voice box.
jordan holmes
I know, but come on.
dan friesen
Let's move on.
jordan holmes
She spoke sign language.
dan friesen
So, anyway, I told you to hold on to your thoughts about that lottery, and now we're going to get back to it.
jordan holmes
And now I'm holding on to my butt.
dan friesen
Let's do this.
That was Jurassic Park.
alex jones
Ladies and gentlemen, during the break, I walked back into the break room to get a cup of coffee, and Chuckie Schumer was on Fox News live in the Senate, blaming Trump for New York.
This is the guy that got the bill passed with Obama.
He sponsored it.
He rewrote it.
He's the chief sponsor of the diversity lottery, the cultural enrichment, as the EU calls it.
We didn't make up these sick jokes.
dan friesen
No, but you're lying.
Let me read to you here.
In 1987, the U.S. government under President Ronald Reagan decided to found an official immigration lottery called the Diversity Visa Lottery.
Through this program, they wanted to make sure the diversity of nations in the United States of America would be preserved in the future because they regarded it as a characteristic feature of the American nation.
The Immigration DV Green Card Lottery still exists today, and thousands enter it every year in order to receive a green card, the permission to become a legal and permanent resident allowed to work in the United States.
Huh.
Alex, you don't know anything.
jordan holmes
Well, it was Chuck Schumer and Obama at the time.
dan friesen
You don't know anything.
Like, why is he...
Why would anyone listen to him?
What is it?
What is going on?
jordan holmes
Because he can say it so confidently.
dan friesen
I just said that pretty confidently.
jordan holmes
I know, and I believe you.
dan friesen
If Media Matters would get our back, and you would stop talking about white genocide.
jordan holmes
Alright, that's why we're fucked.
Alright, okay.
Dan, I make you this promise.
dan friesen
Reagan did this.
jordan holmes
I will only call for white genocide if you say Reagan to me a lot.
dan friesen
Reagan got that diversity passed, the diversity lottery.
jordan holmes
Yeah, good.
Because in the middle of it should be white genocide.
dan friesen
In between peggings.
jordan holmes
That's my favorite piece of InfoWars news we've ever covered.
dan friesen
Ever.
So in this next clip, Alex talks about, he brings up the Don Jr. outing that he did.
jordan holmes
Also, it is Trump's fault for New York.
dan friesen
Yeah, more or less.
Well, not directly.
There's a lot of dynamics involved.
jordan holmes
True.
But ultimately, one of the...
dan friesen
Let's say, just for safety's sake and accuracy's sake, his hands are not clean.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
That's what I would say.
jordan holmes
Terrorism only arises whenever there are so many people who feel like there's nowhere else to go.
When your justice system doesn't work.
When you're poor, when you have no money, when there's no social safety net, there's nothing to deal with there.
dan friesen
It's a corollary of rioting as the voice of the unheard.
jordan holmes
And when you've got nothing left to lose.
Why wouldn't you be a suicide bomber?
dan friesen
You can't be this fucking stupid not to understand that historical dynamic.
jordan holmes
Oh, you sure can.
It's Islam.
dan friesen
Yeah, we found that out.
So anyway, you remember that Alex Jones outed Donald Trump Jr. as one of Mike Cernovich's sources in the past?
They talk about it on this episode.
jordan holmes
Soon to be in prison, Donald Trump Jr.?
dan friesen
They discuss it here.
alex jones
They take your humanity as weakness.
Like one time, I actually gave up one of your sources.
You didn't get really mad at me.
I said, I had a brain fart.
I apologize.
He said, hey, that's okay.
But you didn't take it as like a power over me.
But exactly, that's how they are.
mike cernovich
Yeah, I even forgot that even happened.
Again, yeah, I never even brought it up ever again.
You just realize that's life.
dan friesen
And I was making it up.
So, I mean, who cares?
Why wouldn't you bring that up?
Like, in the real world...
jordan holmes
That would be huge!
dan friesen
Well, also, that could get someone killed.
jordan holmes
That got Reality Winner fucking tossed in prison.
dan friesen
Exactly.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, that sort of thing, that behavior, the outing of a source.
That Alex did on air when he said he had a brain fart.
That's life and death.
jordan holmes
Which is one of the most protected and most challenged situations in First Amendment speech cases.
dan friesen
And beyond your source.
Being killed, possibly, for giving the information that they're not supposed to give.
That's your credibility out the window.
Why would any source ever talk to you again?
And he knows he doesn't need them because he doesn't have sources.
They're not real.
They just go to 4chan and be like, hey, what's on poll today?
That's all they do.
They don't have sources.
Alex pretends he does, and then his caller is calling.
Do you believe that's exactly what my secret information was?
That's all they do.
This is such horse shit.
The Emperor has no clothes.
No one cares.
jordan holmes
No, the kid cares, and then at the end he's beheaded.
Don't you remember that story?
dan friesen
Oh, what did he violate one of the commandments?
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
So here's a clip about Charlotte's Bill.
jordan holmes
He violated Commandment 6, which is to kill.
He did not.
dan friesen
Alright, here's a clip about Charlotte's Bill being fake.
mike cernovich
We can have big marches.
We can bring a lot of people out.
alex jones
And it shows how weak they are.
They were so afraid of your Google march.
mike cernovich
Yeah, exactly.
We were going to do a march on Google, and then they used Fed embeds with these alt-right morons in Charlotte's Bill.
alex jones
By the way, our admitted Obama, Occupy Wall Street, three of them were formerly funded by the Occupy Wall Street that's now refused fascism.
I mean, it's totally obvious.
They're all little pretty boy, strumpet leftists who think they're smart enough to false flag us.
mike cernovich
Exactly.
dan friesen
That just, I mean...
jordan holmes
Smart enough to false flag you.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Okay.
I false flagged you.
The guy who committed the terrorist act?
Hard right.
He was an alt-righter.
He was a white supremacist.
dan friesen
There's a great comment.
jordan holmes
Much like the Reverend Manning is an Oreo by his own words.
So was this fucking...
Whatever.
Who cares what his fucking name is?
dan friesen
Yeah.
I'm going to read this comment from Goatware in the chat room.
Back when Gamergate started, there was some good analysis, which happened to apply to Cernovich back then, too, because Cernovich was involved in Gamergate, about how a lot of their strategy involved false flags because they were convinced that their opponents were using them against them.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So that is the mentality that they live in, and that's why he's fine with who cares what the truth is.
jordan holmes
Who cares?
dan friesen
And that's why he's like, oh, yeah, of course.
Mike Cernovich and Alex Jones and all these people are so caught up in their whiteness that they can't possibly believe that anything a white person does that's monstrous is real.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
So they create this whole narrative of false flaggery and stuff like that, which justifies it to them to use it against the liberals.
Right.
jordan holmes
Everything they think we're doing is what they're doing.
dan friesen
But it's more complicated than that.
It's more complicated and more provable than that.
That's what he says.
And I don't ever want to use the exact rhetoric that he uses because it's cowardly.
jordan holmes
No, I know.
What I'm saying is it's utter ironic horseshit.
That's what is going on there.
dan friesen
More or less.
And it's a bummer because this is what we're against.
And I don't mean liberals.
I don't mean Antifa.
This is what the world is against.
jordan holmes
It's critical to our survival.
dan friesen
I don't think that we get sunshine and everybody gets a sandwich.
They stop this, but them doing these things all the time and riling up millions of people to be duped by them, I mean, what it serves to do is make sure that no one gets a sandwich because we've got to babysit these fucks all the time.
Because that's what we're doing, just no one's paying attention.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Like, we are essentially babysitting and cleaning up the mess that Alex Jones makes every day.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's just...
I mean, we should have thousands more listeners.
jordan holmes
Well, and ultimately...
dan friesen
Then again, how would...
jordan holmes
That's what every fucking relatively intelligent person has done with the rest of the shitty human race for our entire existence.
dan friesen
Right, and a lot of people are doing a lot better job on other global issues, and I think a lot of people are doing a better job about Trump and what have you, because we don't focus too much on him except where it relates to Alex.
But no one is doing a good job about Alex.
Very few people are doing a good job about propaganda, except as it relates to Russian stuff.
jordan holmes
Right.
Which is the focus right now, of course.
dan friesen
For good reason.
jordan holmes
They stole an election.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
That's the hot talk and what have you.
And I don't know.
It's just like, please take care of that, folks.
Absolutely.
Please take care of that.
But realize once it's over...
We still got this mess.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And we're just getting a head start on cleaning it up.
One day, one day, when it all, like, when everyone starts to be like, oh, shit, Alex Jones is leading a real militia, we'll be like, we've been saying this for five years.
No one is listening.
Like, do you understand, like, Matt Bracken is leading a guerrilla anti-Muslim unit.
jordan holmes
I'm telling you, Dan, posthumously, we are going to be thought of as gods.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah, someone is probably, I mean, if we ever do, like, Actually successful.
We're going to get the shit kicked out of us by Proud Boys.
jordan holmes
Oh, it's going to be fantastic.
dan friesen
That's what we got to look forward to.
Maybe being able to pay our rent and getting beat up by the Alt Knights.
Great.
jordan holmes
I'm not too concerned about the...
I refuse to say that.
dan friesen
Proud Boys?
jordan holmes
I'm not too concerned about the Nazis.
dan friesen
Yeah.
But also, I mean, they have a Chicago unit.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
You're not too concerned about them, but Alex is really concerned about being sued.
And I know I've been making that point over and over.
jordan holmes
That was a great transition, Ben.
dan friesen
Thank you.
I'm back.
I'm making that point over and over again because that is the story of this episode.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
alex jones
Let me ask you about November 4th when they kicked this thing off.
I actually...
My lawyers don't want me to get into it, but I mean, literally, Al Gore.
His whole deal.
Like, telling me I better roll over by November 4th and all this other stuff.
I mean...
We are on the march.
The Empire is on the run.
jordan holmes
Nervous fake laugh.
dan friesen
Yeah, and again, they cut him off by ramping up that, like, sound drop.
Yep.
That's...
I mean, it's legit.
Something is gonna come out in the next few days, probably.
But also, the idea that he's saying that Al Gore has told him to lay down by November 4th.
It's fucking bullshit.
He's just trying to bolster his narrative.
He's probably getting sued by...
I wouldn't even be too surprised if it was Hamdi Yulakaya again.
jordan holmes
From a marketing standpoint, though, he is doing a great job from a marketing standpoint in that he is giving you a call to action with an end date.
If he just said, they're coming for me, that works to just kind of...
dan friesen
But that's exactly what he's been doing for a long time.
jordan holmes
Right, right.
dan friesen
It's not good marketing unless you know when you need the money specifically.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
That might be the case.
jordan holmes
Well, that's...
I mean, he's pulling his own Black Friday.
That's what he's doing right here.
dan friesen
Yeah, more or less.
jordan holmes
We got deals that are going to expire November 4th because the world's going to end.
dan friesen
And if it was a month and a half ago, we would be very clear it's the end of the fiscal year.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
But timing doesn't make sense this time.
jordan holmes
Timing makes sense for a lawsuit.
dan friesen
I think it's a lawsuit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I think there's an entire possibility that he has run afoul of their agreement.
Whatever agreement they made in court.
jordan holmes
The ceasefire he and Al Gore signed after an inconvenient truth?
dan friesen
No, the agreement that he made with Chobani after slandering them and them letting him off the hook.
There's a chance, because he has been going on air.
jordan holmes
He has absolutely broken that agreement.
dan friesen
He's been going on air a bunch and saying they're lucky they got out of that and taunting and stuff like that.
I could see that, but then also, here's one theory I have.
I don't think it's this, but it's entirely possible.
Because Alex...
For the longest time has been saying, you know, in terms of Sandy Hook, we just had debates.
We played both sides.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
We just played devil's advocate.
jordan holmes
Even though he is still denying that it happened.
dan friesen
Well, he hasn't been.
But a week ago, he did.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He straight up said it's fake as a $3 bill.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I think there might be a chance that maybe some of the families are suing him or something like that.
jordan holmes
I don't think they're still paying attention to him.
dan friesen
I would be.
jordan holmes
I know.
dan friesen
They still get death threats.
jordan holmes
But you are.
dan friesen
They still get death threats from his listeners.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I have a hard time reading the news now because it's just like every day, again...
dan friesen
A lot of it runs similar to what we talk about here?
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, that's problem number one.
But, I mean, if you were one of the family members, you definitely wouldn't be keeping an eye on Alex Jones.
dan friesen
I constantly see people like Jimmy Dore even making comments that are similar to Alex.
I'm like, you're supposed to be...
Progressive, bro.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Don't fall for the same bullshit.
Like, he fell for that.
He was at least putting his dick in the water with the Seth Rich shit.
And then he was spouting a bunch of nonsense.
jordan holmes
We should give him Larry Nichols' number.
dan friesen
We should.
Oh, my God.
We should give Larry Nichols his number.
The other day, he tweeted something about...
jordan holmes
Ah, Jimmy.
Jimmy, let me tell you something.
I don't actually have cancer.
unidentified
Jimmy, Jimmy.
dan friesen
When it all goes down...
unidentified
When it all goes down, radio show hosts become Dukes.
jordan holmes
Jimmy, when it all goes down, Radio Shack employees become Dukes too.
dan friesen
Maybe Al Gore tried to sell him a joint at school.
Maybe that's what happened.
I don't know.
So anyway, one more clip here.
And this is very troubling.
This is incredibly troubling to me.
Because we have been operating under an assumption...
That I think is a fair assumption to make.
I think it's a reasonable thing to believe in terms of propaganda.
I think that we look at it as they are talking to their audience.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I think we have been remiss, and I think we've been looking at it wrong.
And as is their habit, in this next clip, Mike Cernovich really gives up the game about what they're actually doing.
mike cernovich
But then when you and I ever criticize Trump, they go, oh, you know, Jones and Cernovich are betraying us.
Like, no, that's how Schumer, you have to, to get anything with Trump, you have to negotiate.
And that's what Schumer's doing.
And that's who Trump actually listens to and does deals to.
So that's interesting, and Schumer's doing that.
alex jones
I found out from someone directly that that one video, the night before the debate, or two nights before, I said, you attack, or it's over, and you're a joke, and he was on the fence whether he was going to attack or not.
And I'm told that video pushed me over the edge of me screaming at him.
So is that the answer here, Cernovich?
mike cernovich
Yeah, you have to push back.
I did a video where I said, there's all this violence against Trump supporters.
He won't call it out.
Therefore, Trump is okay with Antifa violence against Trump supporters.
A day or two later, at that rally in Arizona, Trump finally, for the first time, called out Antifa.
So people go, oh, you know, Cernovich Jones, you guys are on and off the Trump train.
No, let the professionals do our jobs.
We know what we're doing.
We're reminding Trump that, hey, this is an ongoing negotiation.
You're just not going to steamroll us.
dan friesen
So...
The thing that we should take away from that, I believe, is that they aren't really interested.
I mean, Alex is because he's got to sell his products and shit.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
They're trying to run an influence campaign in the same way that Steve Bannon tries to run an influence campaign through...
dan friesen
Or Russia.
unidentified
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah, the aim and the...
jordan holmes
They're lobbyists as much as anybody else.
They only use public opinion as opposed to shit tons of money.
dan friesen
The target of their propaganda is Trump, to a great extent.
jordan holmes
Right, like Fox and Friends.
dan friesen
It's so fucked up.
jordan holmes
It's so fucked up.
dan friesen
So fucked up.
jordan holmes
It's so fucked up.
dan friesen
I don't even know.
There's nothing else to say.
jordan holmes
How do you deal with a morning news show filled with bigotry and lies is the direct line to the president.
dan friesen
Or Cernovich threatening him.
Or Alex Jones screaming in a video at him.
When on the same show, Mike Cernovich literally said, I don't care if it's real or not, we win either way.
About a propaganda photo stunt.
That's not okay to me.
If it was on the left, it wouldn't be okay with me either.
jordan holmes
No, that's fucked up.
dan friesen
This is the destruction of the separation of journalism and power.
This is the destruction of public discourse.
This is the destruction of everything.
jordan holmes
And it's happening from both sides, and I don't mean right and left.
I mean top and bottom.
Like, these guys...
dan friesen
Super rich people and then sort of it?
jordan holmes
Exactly.
These guys are the bottom and they're destroying it in their way, which is to make facts obsolete.
And then the top is destroying it in their way of making only the facts that they want known or only the way they want those facts presented.
dan friesen
Screwing the poor.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
So, in all of this, everybody else gets fucked.
They're the ones who both sides make a shit ton of money.
dan friesen
Yep.
It's a good game.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
Good game.
jordan holmes
It's a two-man con.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
That's what it is.
dan friesen
Well, it's a two-man con in the sense that if you look at the groups as one each being represented by a person, it's fucked up.
We're done, man.
jordan holmes
Do you remember the ad that Hillary Clinton had where it was like, who do you want answering the phone at four in the morning?
I imagine that ad is very different.
Do you want the president to get his news from Fox and Friends?
dan friesen
And do you want him to still be up at four in the morning?
jordan holmes
Yeah, like, that's a very simple ad to run now.
Like, the president gets his news from Fox and Friends.
dan friesen
The president is scared of what Alex Jones thinks of him.
The president is shook by Mike Cernovich.
jordan holmes
Well, that's, but that's just true of everybody.
dan friesen
I'm not.
jordan holmes
No, we're all shook.
dan friesen
That lisp does shake me.
jordan holmes
Nothing more scary.
dan friesen
Makes me quiver in my boots.
jordan holmes
Than Mike Cernovich.
dan friesen
Mike Thernovich.
jordan holmes
The influence that Mike Cernovich wields.
dan friesen
Goddamn.
Goddamn, man.
It's dark.
jordan holmes
You look a little drained.
dan friesen
Yeah, I mean, just the running around today, right before the show, I was real stressed out.
I didn't even know if I was going to get all the clips, and I feel like I didn't do a good enough job of researching a lot of stuff.
jordan holmes
No, you were racing to the end.
It was like an episode of Chopped.
dan friesen
I also had like 28 clips or something like that, so I was like, I don't know.
And, you know...
I just, there's elements of Alex that are fun and there's elements that aren't.
And the rampant Islamophobia isn't fun.
And especially when we have an instance of like, I listened to his show.
I know what he said.
I see Media Matters who should be the ones helping us with this.
And when I say us, I don't mean us.
I mean the world.
It is their charge, and Right Wing Watch, it is their charge to watch these people.
And be like, hey, this is what they're saying.
And having watched it, I know that they didn't...
jordan holmes
They could have done a much better job.
dan friesen
Yeah, or at least a more thorough job.
Or the article that they even wrote about it, they could have talked about, like, here's why this isn't true.
Here's why...
It's just a transcript of the clip and the clip.
And it's fine.
You can anger people.
You can outrage people.
But you can't help them.
And it's never going to pierce the people who do believe the propaganda if all you're doing is like, hey, look at this.
Isn't this fucked up?
jordan holmes
That is a good point.
dan friesen
But then again, how are you going to get anyone to listen to two-hour episodes of you and I?
jordan holmes
Right.
It's complicated.
dan friesen
What was that pronunciation?
jordan holmes
Complicated.
unidentified
I don't know.
dan friesen
If you're not talking about Avril Lavigne, I'm not listening.
jordan holmes
It's complicated.
No, I...
unidentified
What are you...
dan friesen
I also have a blister on the back of my foot from dancing.
jordan holmes
You're too happy?
dan friesen
No, at Matt Riggs' wedding.
I had terrible fitting shoes.
And since then I've had a blister on the back of my foot.
And because it's on the back of the foot, I can't fucking get rid of it.
jordan holmes
You gotta get a band-aid, man.
dan friesen
I've been using a band-aid.
jordan holmes
Try some liquid bandage.
dan friesen
It's just fucking destroying me.
jordan holmes
This is great radio, by the way.
dan friesen
I'm just trying.
I'm just opening it up.
Anyway.
jordan holmes
No, I don't...
I don't disagree with you in that they are part of the outrage machine and they're propagating that.
And in some ways, they're utilizing the same tools that Alex does.
dan friesen
Not exactly, but yes.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
In the way of, what's the best way to get people to engage?
It's not make them feel better.
dan friesen
Educate.
jordan holmes
It's definitely not educate.
It's not solutions-based.
It's outrage-based.
And so if you are still a business, if you're not PBS, if you're not a non-profit, you still have to do that shit.
And so I get it, which is part of the problem.
dan friesen
Right, but if you want to make people outraged about what happened on Alex Jones' show...
I don't think the way to do it necessarily is to play the Linda Sarsour looks like this terrorist.
That is the main thrust of your article.
I think it is much more infuriating to people and a much easier intro into like...
Well, this is very easily disprovable, is the stuff with Matt Bracken.
And especially the clip where he's saying that all the tenets of Islam in the Quran are kill, kill, kill, kill, kill.
That sort of stuff is much easier and would make people much angrier.
I think you'd get more clips.
jordan holmes
But every content editor is going to be like...
Celebrity gossip, boom.
Toss it up there.
dan friesen
Linda Sarsour counts as a celebrity?
jordan holmes
In that world?
dan friesen
Maybe.
jordan holmes
In that world?
What else do you got there?
You have a random Unabomber-style author who is saying Unabomber-style authorship.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
So what are you going to be like?
dan friesen
I don't know if the Unabomber was that racist, though.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
I bet he was.
dan friesen
He probably was.
jordan holmes
He sounds racist to me.
dan friesen
Kept it to himself, though.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Good on him.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
No, and even then, I think we can move past Islamophobia.
Like, that is too much of a subset now for Alex Jones, where it has to be white male supremacy.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
He is not an Islamophobe.
dan friesen
No, that's just a feature.
jordan holmes
He is a white male supremacist, yeah.
dan friesen
That's a feature.
It's not the program.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
That's a side effect, yeah.
dan friesen
It's white Christian straight male supremacy.
unidentified
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
It's all of that bundled into one.
jordan holmes
It's waspiness as gospel.
dan friesen
Yep.
Or, I mean, it would be an even easier attack for...
You know, media matters to make.
It might not outrage many people, but posting something about Mike Cernovich days after the entire pedo sign has been debunked, still pitching it, and then admitting on air that, hey, I don't care if it's real or not, if it was a stunt, I don't give a shit, I wouldn't either way.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
Those sorts of things, those admissions are more damning to them, I think, because...
jordan holmes
Well, it was those types of admissions that got rid of Nixon and that kind of shit.
But that's different.
dan friesen
It's a different era.
jordan holmes
I don't care.
Exactly.
That's the crazy thing.
Now subtext no longer exists.
You can just make it all out there.
dan friesen
I would argue that there's probably a good 60% of these Ding Dongs base that isn't going to leave them.
But there's probably 20% that you could get rid of from supporting them if you expose them to...
Do you understand that they are explaining on air that they're conning you?
Do you understand that that is what's going on?
Or if you played some of his ridiculous throws to ads and explained this is a technique.
This is a rhetorical technique.
It's how they train people at QVC.
That's how you sell things.
You try and create an emotional response in people and then lay the sales pitch out.
It's classic salesmanship.
So if you did something like that, you could, I think, make some dents in their population or their fan bases.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I would say at least two thirds.
dan friesen
More than fucking Linda Sarsour shit, which is just going to pedal to the base.
jordan holmes
Right.
I would say at least two thirds are never going anywhere.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I would say that you can get the other third split pretty well between either not being actively engaged with it or becoming purely like...
I don't believe them anymore.
And they're not going to come over to the team.
dan friesen
No, that doesn't matter, though.
jordan holmes
That shit ain't happening.
I don't care.
Exactly.
No, I'm not saying that you need to care.
dan friesen
I don't think you are.
I'm just expressing that I don't care.
I'm not trying to grow the ranks of the libs.
jordan holmes
This is so fun.
This is such a weird reversal here.
dan friesen
Stupid Palisade wine.
jordan holmes
Generally speaking, why is it that I'm the one being like, Hey, Dan, your anger is out of control right now.
unidentified
I don't know.
dan friesen
Therapy is starting to work.
Getting in touch with this goddamn...
jordan holmes
You're becoming more assertive.
dan friesen
Right.
Hit the nail on the head there.
That's exactly...
Guys, let me tell you about my therapy.
No, but like, look, who cares?
jordan holmes
Dan knows a lot about therapy.
dan friesen
And so do you.
So the thing is, though, like, I don't give a shit, and you know this, I'm not saying you don't, but I don't give a shit about swelling the ranks of Antifa, swelling the ranks of the Democrats or the left even.
I care about people not falling for this.
If you don't believe Alex Jones and know that he's a liar and recognize what he's doing and you still believe in trickle-down economics, if you still believe in states' rights, cool.
We can have a conversation about that.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
I disagree, but that's fine.
jordan holmes
See, I don't think you can do that, though.
I don't think it winds up happening.
dan friesen
I think it can.
jordan holmes
Because if you can see through Alex's tricks, Alex's tricks are just a more obvious version of everybody else's.
dan friesen
Right.
But you said it right there.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's true.
dan friesen
They're more obvious.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
But if you cut your teeth, he's a practice level.
You're cutting your teeth on, this is a very obvious form of bigotry and conmanship.
Right.
And then you graduate to Fox News and you're like...
Oh, they're doing the same thing, but they're slicker about it.
dan friesen
But I still think you can graduate through a bunch of levels and still have conservative ideas.
jordan holmes
I don't think so.
I think conservatism is a con entirely.
dan friesen
I think it is as it's applied most of my life.
Certainly, the people who have been conservative politicians seem to be reinforcing of that.
But I'm not...
Look, I don't know.
You're going to fucking call me a centrist and I don't give a shit.
jordan holmes
I'm not!
Dan, this is a safe space.
dan friesen
It's not.
It's hostile.
I just don't care.
I don't care about the game between parties.
I don't care about the idea that, like, hey, I believe that the world works better in X, Y, and Z way, and I believe it works better in A, B, and C way.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
As long as you ditch the racist propaganda and you aren't beholden to these ideas, then society can function.
Because we can have a polite disagreement about stuff, and some places can implement some plans, some places can implement others, and we can see what works.
That's the idea of government.
jordan holmes
I get that.
dan friesen
And state governments and stuff like that.
There is something to that.
Now, if you want to dismantle the entire federal government in the name of states' rights, you're stupid.
That we can't do.
But the idea that people pitch in terms of states' rights about, like, let's see how things work.
In Colorado, then maybe if it works there, we can expand it.
That is kind of what happened with marijuana legalization.
They had the right to do that, and we learned it fucking worked super well, and so other states adopt it.
That is the kind of thing that I understand where that philosophy comes from, and I don't hate it.
Now, if you want to say that all conservative ideology is stupid and it's a con...
I disagree with you, because I think that's as bad as Alex calling all liberals stupid.
But I don't think that you're dumb, and I don't think you haven't thought out your opinions.
And I certainly think that most of the people that we recognize as conservative politicians aren't necessarily just that.
But the point I want to get to is...
There are instances of political disagreements that are acceptable.
jordan holmes
That I agree with entirely.
dan friesen
That's more my thesis.
jordan holmes
No, I get you.
dan friesen
And because we only have conservative and liberal as our sort of two polar opposites that we get to talk about, that's the reason I use that as the villain.
jordan holmes
And I get that.
I think that was just a misunderstanding of terms.
Because to me, modern conservatism is intrinsically tied up with bigotry.
Because that's the only way that you can sell fucking yourself over.
Right.
If you look at what happened in Kansas, the way that Sam Brownback implemented all of the conservative tenets destroyed Kansas' entire...
Economy and infrastructure and everything.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And if we didn't have all the other stuff that's piggybacking and just in a giant backpack around it...
jordan holmes
Then he never would have gotten elected.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And we would have seen, oh, that stuff didn't work.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And we would have been able to discount those ideas and be like, sorry.
jordan holmes
But we already know that shit didn't work because it's been applied...
So many times in American history in the past, and it's never worked.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
Ever.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Look, and I respect your...
I totally get what you're saying, coming from the idea of polite disagreement is a valuable thing.
I think the problem that we're having, or at least in this discussion, is a lot of the polite disagreements that we're talking about happened hundreds of years ago and are settled.
We're just still having those disagreements.
I somewhat disagree.
In the future, when we're talking about, because I don't agree with a lot of different ways, and I absolutely think that there is a certain progressive that can go, you know, we're not Pollyanna.
There is a rational approach to take.
But at the same time, trickle-down economics is magical.
It doesn't exist.
So that conservative, polite disagreement is gone.
There is no further discussion of tax breaks for the rich leading to economic growth.
We're done there.
So that's not a polite disagreement.
dan friesen
Well, for you.
jordan holmes
That's a disagreement between reality.
dan friesen
You're making it a little rude.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
In this hypothetical conversation that you're having with a conservative.
jordan holmes
I'm not having a hypothetical conversation.
That's the problem there.
dan friesen
You're not.
jordan holmes
I'm not.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Because that conversation is done.
That's like arguing about whether or not climate change is real at this point.
dan friesen
Well, that wouldn't be on my list.
jordan holmes
Right.
Well, that's not a polite disagreement.
You can't have that as a polite disagreement in the same way.
If there's an established fact, you can't disagree about it.
unidentified
Dude.
dan friesen
What you're not...
I believe that what you're not taking into account is that...
Let's take the climate change as an example of what you're talking about.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
If you take away...
A lot of the conspiracy propaganda beliefs about climate change, there would be much less disagreement about it.
If people were relying on science about it, if they were relying on empirical evidence, there wouldn't be nearly as many people who are saying there are two sides.
Because a lot of the people who, whether they really consciously understand it or not, a lot of the people who are against it believe that there are The UN is trying to conspire and they're faking all this.
jordan holmes
Well, the one that I get from my family all the time is that the scientists...
Look, the scientists have to say this in order to get grant money.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
That's always the...
It's the monetary...
Disregarding the fact that they maybe get hundreds of thousands of dollars while the people who are causing climate change get billions.
But I...
dan friesen
If you take away all of the bullshit, a lot of the conversations that you're bringing up, and I'm going to imagine trickle-down economics might be one of them that also goes away.
Maybe it was a bad thing for me to use as an example.
jordan holmes
No, I respect that.
dan friesen
I don't even know where this fucking started.
I'm looking at the chat room and I think we lost a lot of people.
Garbage Dick brought up libertarian philosophies that are burgeoning right now, and I want to be totally clear, I got no time for libertarians.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that shit's done.
dan friesen
No matter how much I want to be inclusive of folks, I got zero time for libertarians.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
So anyway, you can go to our website.
jordan holmes
That was a great pivot for us.
That was an Alex Jonesian pivot.
dan friesen
I don't even want to have any more conversation.
jordan holmes
I understand.
dan friesen
Curling up in a ball over here.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry, Dan.
Let's head over to knowledgefight.com and that'll soothe your soul, buddy.
unidentified
It absolutely will.
dan friesen
You can check out our website over there.
You can click on the button that says support the show if you'd like to donate.
We would really appreciate it.
jordan holmes
I write a new blog every Thursday.
One will be up tomorrow.
dan friesen
Or today when you're listening to this if you're not listening live.
jordan holmes
It's at knowledge underscore fight on Twitter.
dan friesen
That's correct.
Also Facebook.
jordan holmes
And then...
unidentified
iTunes.
jordan holmes
Oh, you can go to iTunes?
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Can you go to Stitcher?
dan friesen
You cannot.
Stitcher is the libertarians of podcast distribution services.
jordan holmes
Can you go to Audible?
dan friesen
No.
I think you can go to iTunes.
jordan holmes
How about Spotify?
dan friesen
No.
YouTube?
We can go to YouTube.
jordan holmes
You can go to YouTube.
dan friesen
Yeah, we have YouTube.
jordan holmes
YouTube and iTunes and then some other places that curate podcasts.
dan friesen
Oh, check us out on Media Matters.
jordan holmes
There you go!
We'll be guesting on Media Matters' podcasts from now on.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
Do they have podcasts?
jordan holmes
Probably.
unidentified
Yeah, they probably do.
jordan holmes
Everybody has podcasts.
dan friesen
Anyway, this has been fun.
jordan holmes
This has been fun.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
I know it's been alternately stressful and exciting for you, Dan, and I apologize.
dan friesen
Last 20 minutes or so have not been pleasurable.
You attacked my therapist and then...
jordan holmes
Anyway.
All right.
dan friesen
My therapist is a good man.
He's not anything like this one dude.
jordan holmes
What one dude?
dan friesen
This guy.
jordan holmes
So does your therapist have fig teeth?
dan friesen
Doesn't.
jordan holmes
No.
How about a huge spindly beard?
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Does he hang up all his pictures?
dan friesen
Alex Jones was talking about cross-eyes being a sign of nobility in England.
So this guy that we're talking about, he would be noble in England.
This guy has a cross-eye, just like me.
Probably the only thing we have in common, quite frankly.
jordan holmes
Beard.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Anyway, his name's John Rappaport.
jordan holmes
And he can go fuck himself.
dan friesen
And now here's the part where I would say, may the wolf choke on his flesh, but Jordan has pointed out to me that that, or you did and another listener pointed out that that's kind of a compliment.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
And so I'll no longer say it.
jordan holmes
That's why you've been sad.
alex jones
You're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
jordan holmes
Hello, Alex.
I'm a first-time caller.
unidentified
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
