Today, Dan tells Jordan all about what happened on the January 17, 2016 episode of The Alex Jones Show. They are sort of still exploring why Alex became a mouthpiece for Donald Trump, though that question's been pretty well answered. On this episode, you'll also learn (a lot) about Alex's feelings about the Rapture, and whether or not Alex's dad was a medical truther.

|
Hello, Alex. | |
| I'm a first-time caller. | ||
| I'm a huge fan. | ||
| I love your work. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| Hey, everybody. | ||
| Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| We hear a couple dudes like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| Today we're drinking nice sparkling water. | ||
| That seems to be a go-to to a certain extent. | ||
| They're cheap. | ||
| They're tasty. | ||
| We did plenty of drinking last night, so maybe no drinks today. | ||
| A couple shit bars. | ||
| We went out to, I think, three or four shit bars. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was not great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| And I know nothing about Alex Jones. | ||
| That's the premise of the show. | ||
| I know a lot about him. | ||
| You don't know anything about him, and we try and work through his weirdness. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Just if anyone's keeping track, we did play a game of Scrabble last night out at the bar, but it was non-canonical. | ||
| No, it did not count. | ||
| It was non-canonical. | ||
| It was a bad Scrabble game from the jump. | ||
| Because we were furious that our food took maybe an hour and a half to make it this shit bar. | ||
| And it's not like we got complicated food. | ||
| You put it in a fryer and then hand it to us. | ||
| Lots of sticks and fries. | ||
| And also, I mean, we should have known. | ||
| There was vomit, like, right outside the bar. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's true. | |
| We should have known. | ||
| It's partly on us. | ||
| Hard pass on this bar. | ||
| But, anyway, we are here. | ||
| We are drinking fizzy water, which is delicious. | ||
| And we are thrilled to be back on this here Alex Jones podcast. | ||
| Yeah, it's been a while since we've recorded. | ||
| Yeah, it feels like forever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| I'd like to say a couple things really quick. | ||
| First... | ||
| I don't... | ||
| Don't go to Parrot's Bar on Halstead. | ||
| I was hoping you would keep it big. | ||
| I mentioned this last night, and it's one of those things that I really, really hate about bars, some bars, that have, like, big open windows to the street. | ||
| I think that some people of a certain persuasion... | ||
| Assholes. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| They have a performative aspect to their nights out. | ||
| Where it's the people who get really dressed up and they want to be seen and look like they're having fun more than actually having fun. | ||
| And there was a large group of people that were spending most of the time there at the pool table. | ||
| You wanted to play pool. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And we couldn't because of them. | ||
| And they were just over-hyping how much fun they were having. | ||
| They were acting like they were in a Dave and Buster's commercial. | ||
| It was exactly that. | ||
| And I know it's because there's a huge window to the street there. | ||
| They knew that people could watch them having fun. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It was... | ||
| They might as well have been sponsored by the bar. | ||
| Like, hey, go hang out in this window, and everybody will be like, holy shit, this place is fun. | ||
| And then you go into the bar, and you're like, this is the saddest place in the world. | ||
| I just want mozzarella sticks. | ||
| I just want... | ||
| And, I mean, my theory that these people were dicks was, like, very well established by when they came over and a guy lectured you about low fives. | ||
| Oh, yeah, that's right. | ||
| Fuck, I forgot that. | ||
| We were trying to just play Scrabble, mind our own business, wait for our food, and some guy came over and you gave your girlfriend a low five and he was like... | ||
| What, are you doing low fives in here? | ||
| No, you give high fives. | ||
| And it's like, why are you still alive? | ||
| Right, it's like, at what point do you think this is a friendship starter? | ||
| Is that what's going on? | ||
| Are you trying to be a dick, or do you think this is going to be an icebreaker? | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| Like, I don't understand that mentality in people. | ||
| I fucking, I just don't get it. | ||
| I don't connect with people. | ||
| What would the ice, how would that break the ice? | ||
| Just like, oh. | ||
| Low fives are bad? | ||
| You are right. | ||
| You sound like the most interesting man in the world. | ||
| You must have read that in a book. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Have you heard about the protocols of the Elders of Zion, sir? | ||
| We had very different approaches to dealing with this guy, too. | ||
| Because, like, you were kind of like, ah, you're an asshole. | ||
| And my approach was, ha-ha! | ||
| Like, very over-the-top fake laughing. | ||
| And neither worked. | ||
| I think it's fair to say, if you've listened to our show, you understood the dynamic of how we reacted to it. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| So those weren't the things I wanted to say. | ||
| I wanted to say that on our Facebook, We started at the end of last week. | ||
| Started to post a lot more blog content about Alex Jones in the immediate. | ||
| So when I'm listening to the episodes, I'm cutting clips and writing up, debunking articles about fucked up things he says in real time. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I appreciate everybody who's liked them and shared them. | ||
| But what I want to say is that if you are interested in the show, I would really appreciate it if you could go and share them. | ||
| makes such a big difference in terms of Facebook's algorithms. | ||
| And it's not one of these Alex Jones things where they're censoring us. | ||
| It's just how it works. | ||
| If you have a fan page or whatever, But you can organically get around that through like three or four or five people sharing things. | ||
| The ball starts rolling. | ||
| It gets shown to a wider range of people. | ||
| And that would be a massive help in terms of getting the word out about things that we think are important about Alex Jones. | ||
| So if you could do that, I appreciate it. | ||
| But at the same time, if you don't want to, don't do it. | ||
| Because I understand what it's like. | ||
| I don't want to share a bunch of stuff on my page. | ||
| I don't want my page getting cluttered up with a bunch of crazy people talking. | ||
| I'm talking about Alex Jones. | ||
| And if that's where you're at, I understand. | ||
| And frankly, if that's not where you're at, who are you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's going on? | |
| Are you okay? | ||
| Do you need to call us? | ||
| I feel like you're talking to me now. | ||
| I was trying to stealthily do that. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| So I appreciate that. | ||
| That would be wonderful. | ||
| Anyway, let's get on to it. | ||
| Let's get down to business. | ||
| I thought you said there were a few things you wanted to talk about. | ||
| I think it was the... | ||
| I think that was just one. | ||
| No, because it was a compound thing. | ||
| It was the, if you want to share the stuff, please do. | ||
| And also the second thing was, if you don't want to, I totally understand. | ||
| That doesn't count as two things. | ||
| I think it does. | ||
| I disagree. | ||
| In my head, it's very separate things. | ||
| All right, all right. | ||
| Anyways, don't go to Parrot's Bar on Halston and Clark. | ||
| That's the third thing. | ||
| Oh, no, the other thing is I wanted to give a shout out to our new policy wonk. | ||
| We got a new donation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, shit! | |
| We got a new policy wonk? | ||
| We did, so I'd like to give this one out to you. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| You know, after you find out that Kevin Durant had multiple Twitter accounts to fucking attack people who made fun of his... | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| Anything is possible. | ||
| What if Paul Ryan is a self-hating Republican? | ||
| I'm certain he is. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| So if you want to become a policy wonk, you can do that by going to our website, knowledgefight.com, clicking the support the show button. | ||
| Now we've done all kinds of business here with the top five minutes of the show. | ||
| And thank you very much, Ryan. | ||
| Yes, thank you. | ||
| We appreciate it. | ||
| Keeps the lights on. | ||
| Ha ha. | ||
| Low five. | ||
| Not in my house, goddammit! | ||
| This is my house, first of all. | ||
| Then, yes, sir, I will give you a low five. | ||
| I'd like to propose a metaphorical high five for the fact that today we are back in the past. | ||
| Oh, thank God. | ||
| The most recent shows of Alex's have not been fun, and not really all that interesting, because he's mostly just going hard at Al Franken. | ||
| And quite frankly, I don't disagree. | ||
| No, I'm fine with it. | ||
| Yeah, if Al Franken's assaulting people, then absolutely he should step down, and I don't think he gets a pass in any way. | ||
| Alex is presenting it as like... | ||
| These liberals won't call their own to task. | ||
| I'm like, fuck off. | ||
| Everyone hates Lena Dunham. | ||
| Everybody's mad at Al Franken. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And they're mad at him in a much more complicated way than Republicans seem possible of achieving. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, of course not. | |
| In that there's disappointment and... | ||
| Sorry, you fucked up. | ||
| You gotta go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| But the disappointment of, like, you had done some good things in the Senate, you seemed like you were, you know, he's real sharp in a lot of categories in terms of grilling people about climate change and what have you. | ||
| And he's been very publicly helpful towards the cause of, towards just women. | ||
| And it's unfortunate, but the reality is the reality, and people on the left are dealing with reality. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Maybe what we should do is never give men any sort of power, because chances are they're gonna abuse it. | ||
| Or... | ||
| Especially towards women. | ||
| Extreme vetting. | ||
| Perhaps. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's super complicated. | ||
| The way Alex is dealing with it isn't based in reality. | ||
| And it's just trying to score points. | ||
| And the whole time, he's just talking with all these people about Roy Moore. | ||
| And his whole perspective is, it's weird. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| It's like... | ||
| No, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| Now is not the time to talk about age of consent laws, first off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, he does. | |
| And second, he absolutely raped a girl. | ||
| You know it and I know it. | ||
| That happened. | ||
| Well, there was that accuser who came out and said that he basically, like, grabbed her head through to his crotch after driving her to a darkened part of a parking lot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, that's not weird. | ||
| No. | ||
| That's criminal. | ||
| That's a crime. | ||
| Yeah, and so... | ||
| It's a weird crime, maybe. | ||
| I might give you that one. | ||
| Yeah, it's possible that you could take credit for that. | ||
| Anyway, I do have one thing I wanted to play. | ||
| This is sort of an out-of-context drop. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| This is from the November 16th show, so this is from the present, and it's Alex trying to score points about his sexual tastes, I think. | ||
| No, no! | ||
| It's interesting. | ||
| No. | ||
| Porn. | ||
| Take porn. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I will. | |
| I can't even watch it anymore. | ||
| And I'm not going to sit up here with our audience and be fake and say I've never seen porn. | ||
| I literally... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| You know what I like? | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| I like typing in pin-up girls from the 50s. | ||
| And I'll just sit there for like an hour on my computer looking at women as pin-up girls. | ||
| Now, that's weird. | ||
| Or like a waitress in a cute skirt and cute outfit. | ||
| Like a woman cute and happy. | ||
| That's what I like. | ||
| That's really weird. | ||
| I mean, there's a lot of things to unpack there. | ||
| I trust someone who likes hardcore porn way more than somebody who stares at pin-ups for hours. | ||
| Because he's talking about it in a sexual context. | ||
| Yeah, of course. | ||
| And let's be clear. | ||
| The fetishizing of pin-up girls and that sort of aesthetic often is... | ||
| Maybe a fetishization of women without power. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like an era where women were very subservient and submissive. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I think there's some weird elements there. | ||
| And the idea that he'd be sitting there for an hour, just like, ah, look at that. | ||
| It's very much an uncomplicated... | ||
| I like women who cannot talk back, who only smile, and who are never, ever mad at me. | ||
| You ever fuck a mannequin? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Have you ever fucked a mannequin? | ||
| I have not. | ||
| I'm fine with fucking a mannequin leg. | ||
| I've not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| I've also not had a blow-up doll, or as my... | ||
| Right. | ||
| My friend Sal from Columbia, Missouri would say, I'll blow up, fuck doll. | ||
| He's the guy who owned the bar I used to do my comedy show at. | ||
| One night he decided he was going to do a set. | ||
| I'm like, fuck yeah, of course you are. | ||
| No, he's great. | ||
| He's a hilarious former New Jersey pipe fitter. | ||
| He's an awesome guy. | ||
| Alright, now I'm back on board. | ||
| So he called himself the Wolfman Sack. | ||
| Now I'm super on board. | ||
| That was his character. | ||
| I want a million of him. | ||
| And so he gets on stage and he's like, hey, you know why? | ||
| We're going to have one of these blow-up fuck dolls. | ||
| And his set is just maybe ten minutes of him saying blow-up fuck doll repeatedly. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| See, that's always the best part. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's comedy. | |
| That's the best part of any kind of open mic is, look, people who are working on jokes, fine. | ||
| I'm happy for you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Lunatics. | ||
| Now I'm excited. | ||
| He's the good kind of lunatic, to be fair. | ||
| In all fairness, we ran into some of the other sorts and they don't deserve to be discussed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nah. | |
| So let's move back into 2016, Jordan. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| We're in January 2016. | ||
| We last left off, I believe, on like the 11th or so. | ||
|
unidentified
|
When last we left our hero. | |
| After the 11th, there's a string of boring fucking shows. | ||
| Because Alex, it comes out that Chris Carter is rebooting the X-Files. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He's restarting the X-Files, and one of the characters... | ||
| The football player? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Not the Vikings receiver. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The guy who created the X-Files. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, all right. | |
| And one of the characters in the new X-Files was loosely based on Alex Jones. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| No, I recall that. | ||
| He, in an interview, says that Alex Jones isn't what he would consider to be super right-wing. | ||
| He's more of a libertarian, and Alex takes that to be a big positive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| And that's fair. | ||
| That is what it is. | ||
| You know, whatever. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But Alex... | ||
| I think we would beg to differ, but okay. | ||
| It doesn't matter to me, really. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The categorization isn't the most important thing. | ||
| Fair. | ||
| But he goes on for about two days talking about how The X-Files is the biggest show of all time, and even they know that Alex Jones is right about everything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| And that's why they're putting him in the show. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| And he's friends with Dean Haglund, one of the guys from The Lone Gunman. | ||
| I take it he hasn't seen it. | ||
| At this point in time. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It was still in promotion, or they had just maybe wrapped filming or something like that. | ||
| Kumail hadn't even started on his interview. | ||
| It's beginning of 2016, so I think it was about to air or something like that. | ||
| He goes on and on and on for like two days straight just about how like the X-Files loves me. | ||
| Chris Carter's a patriot. | ||
| We're going to get him on the show. | ||
| Best show of all time. | ||
| And then he talks about Dean Hagelin, the guy from The Lone Gunman, the spinoff of The X-Files. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| And how one of the episodes, the CIA had contacted The Lone Gunman writers and told them to write 9-11 as a plot in the show in order to prematurely inoculate the public from thinking it was fake. | ||
| Because like, it couldn't have been. | ||
| I mean, it was in this episode. | ||
| The odds of that are fucking crazy. | ||
| I'm like, I don't want to do this. | ||
| I'm just listening to the episodes. | ||
| I'm like, I don't want to do this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| Fuck this. | ||
| And then David Knight hosts a couple days. | ||
| Definitely don't want to do that. | ||
| No. | ||
| So I jumped ahead to the next day that was... | ||
| Can you imagine? | ||
| What if we did a David Knight episode? | ||
| Would that even work? | ||
| I feel like that wouldn't even work for us. | ||
| I think the audience would revolt. | ||
| I think we would revolt. | ||
| We would lose our walks, man. | ||
| I think we would try and record the episode and then halfway through rage quit like an online video game player. | ||
| It's possible. | ||
| I think we'd lose all of our donations and our will to live. | ||
| Which is amazing that David Knight hasn't done the same to Infowars. | ||
| He knows his job. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He knows his place. | ||
| So what we ended up having to do... | ||
| He's like a well-trained dog. | ||
| I want to stress this. | ||
| I mean this sincerely. | ||
| Because our last episode that we covered was like on the 11th or the 12th. | ||
| And today's episode we're covering January 17th. | ||
| Don't think that that doesn't mean I still had to listen to 15 hours of Alex Jones for nothing. | ||
| 15 hours that we're not going to be covering at all. | ||
| I still listen to that shit. | ||
| But it took me... | ||
| All that time to get to the 17th of January, 2016. | ||
| And boy, was it worth it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| There are a couple things that we're going to find out on this show that are huge in terms of proving some theories that we've had about Alex. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And then beyond that, he's crazy. | ||
| Yay! | ||
| It's a Sunday show. | ||
| So we're going to start some soft narratives. | ||
| That's what's about to happen. | ||
| Not especially. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It's not one of those Sunday shows. | ||
| It's one of the Sunday shows where he knows that the audience is the smaller and more engaged audience. | ||
| And so he feels free to like... | ||
| Let it rip. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I think he thinks he's a preacher also in this episode. | ||
| That sounds good. | ||
| So we're going to start with... | ||
| That's a good Alex Jones. | ||
| We like that one. | ||
| It's not bad in terms of the... | ||
| I mean, he's a little bit of an esoteric preacher too. | ||
| Especially when he's really, really wrong about what he's preaching about. | ||
| Well, we'll find out if that's the case. | ||
| I imagine it is. | ||
| Alex is mad at sports today. | ||
| That's where he begins the broadcast, so we'll join him here. | ||
| Well, we're on the 17th. | ||
| Right around Super Bowl territory. | ||
| February, beginning of February was the Super Bowl. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In 2016. | ||
| Yeah, so we're in the playoffs. | ||
| We're in the playoffs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And Alex has some thoughts. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to be honest with you. | ||
| I'm not as manly as a lot of the people out there who are going to be watching the Seahawks and the Carolina Panthers coming up here in a little while. | ||
| In fact, I'm so unmanly that I don't even know who played in the earlier playoffs today. | ||
| Hell yeah. | ||
| You did it. | ||
| You know, the truth is, I played football in high school. | ||
| I liked football. | ||
| I went to Dallas Cowboys games with some when I was a kid. | ||
| And I can sure get into a game. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| I can sure enjoy it. | ||
| But, you know, when I realize that it's used as a propaganda tool by the social engineers and that the patriotism you see during the game has been paid for with millions of dollars. | ||
| Well, then I assume you support Colin Kaepernick's taking a knee. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Because the patriotism is clearly paid for, and in fact, the government pays the NFL to pull all that bullshit. | ||
| They started doing that around 2006, if I recall correctly. | ||
| Yeah, all the jingoism and Americana. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| So, since he knows that it's just a crass money-making scheme, maybe he supports people. | ||
| Shit branding. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But, like, the other thing about it is, like, Alex is so stupid. | ||
| Like, the idea that he thinks that that's some sort of, like, arcane secret thing that he's presenting. | ||
| Like, the idea that the government pays, or the military pays the NFL to promote the military. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Of course they, of course that's advertisement. | ||
| Haven't you seen the army commercials? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| Like, it's not, anybody could see through that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I don't understand why it's like, oh, they secretly do that. | ||
| It's declassified. | ||
| That sort of mentality. | ||
| It's very weird. | ||
| I mean, when they've got Keith David doing voiceover for the Navy commercials, it's like, come on, guys. | ||
| You guys are screwing everybody over. | ||
| And you have all those commercials for the military services that have real athletic tone to them, and then on top of that, just, I don't know, video game soldier tone. | ||
| Those sound fun? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, it's a different issue than he's complaining about, quite frankly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's propaganda. | ||
| No, he's right, and again, he's super wrong for those reasons. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, I mean, great. | ||
| I'm glad that he can enjoy games. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I'm glad that he, I guess, has seen through the bullshit and now doesn't want... | ||
| And he doesn't get into the idea of sapping manlyhood. | ||
| Manliness. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Manhood. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whatever. | |
| From dudes. | ||
| Male vitality. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| He usually does that when he complains about football. | ||
| Like, it's fake warfare to try and demasculinize man or whatever. | ||
| He's not really on that tip. | ||
| How does he feel about the movie Toys? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hates it. | |
| Which has turned out to be one of the more prescient films of our time. | ||
| Hates it. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Hates it. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Doesn't like... | ||
| But Robin Williams and LL Cool J, come on! | ||
| Nailing the future right! | ||
| He thought that the MTV segment was whack. | ||
| I don't disagree with him. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| So he's in this weird place about sports, but then he makes this revelation that makes absolutely no sense. | ||
| It indicates something other than enjoyment of sport and sports leagues that he seems to be complaining about. | ||
| I'm not here judging anybody who's into sports. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I've been there. | ||
| In fact, even though I've been awake, what year was it that the Red Sox finally went back to the World Series? | ||
| Like 8, 9, 10 years ago? | ||
| 2003. | ||
| And I was working on a film with a director who was into the Red Sox. | ||
| And so I started at his office working late and then going out to restaurants or bars with him to watch it up to the World Series. | ||
| But it just took like a month or whatever, but it took over my life. | ||
| I was calling my wife saying, yeah, I'm sorry, I'm going back out tonight to watch the Red Sox. | ||
| I mean, I get it, folks. | ||
| If I started watching it within days, if I started watching ESPN, I would be hooked like a 10-pound bass on the end of a line. | ||
| Right through my lip. | ||
| So you have an addictive personality. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I've been there. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I think he was gambling. | ||
| Because that behavior is not... | ||
| I mean, when... | ||
| The, like, Cubs were in the World Series. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's how you were. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But you're a lifelong Cubs fan. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| Why would you just randomly? | ||
| There's no reason. | ||
| I mean, I know he said he's hanging out with a Sox fan, but he's a lifelong Texan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| There's no reason for him to like the Red Sox. | ||
| Now, I mean, at the time, that was an amazing team, and it was a great narrative. | ||
| You know, Pedro Martinez was throwing fireballs. | ||
| Like, it was a good time. | ||
| It was St. Louis, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They beat. | ||
| I don't remember. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I lost... | ||
| After they came back from three down to beat the Yankees, that was pretty much the end of it. | ||
| I was working at a Lion's Choice roast beef shop when that happened in my life. | ||
| How'd it go? | ||
| Well, it was great. | ||
| I loved it. | ||
| Did you get some beef? | ||
| I made a lot of beef. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Made a lot of beef. | ||
| Real bloody beef, too. | ||
| It was horrible. | ||
| I don't like that. | ||
| I would go home just covered in blood from the roast beef because I was on the slicer. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| My buddy Colin was on Buns. | ||
| He had to butter the buns and put them in the toaster. | ||
| You should have switched jobs. | ||
| No, because it was super fun because he was kind of slow on it. | ||
| He would always yell, Waiting on Buns! | ||
| That was kind of our thing. | ||
| He decided he was going to make a rap album. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| And the title was going to be Waiting on Buns. | ||
| That's not a good title. | ||
| Anyway, there was a guy who worked there who was from St. Louis. | ||
| And just because I was like, the Cardinals are up. | ||
| In the series, I like a gamble. | ||
| I was like, I'll bet you $100 that the Red Sox win this thing. | ||
| He's like, you got it. | ||
| And did not pay me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| Did not pay me. | ||
| I'm sorry about that. | ||
| Probably would have collected from me if I had lost. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| I did not. | ||
| I did not make him pay. | ||
| But be that as it may, what Alex is describing is not normal sports watcher behavior. | ||
| No. | ||
| That's a gambler's behavior. | ||
| That's a gambling problem. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| That is like, I got money on the spread, honey. | ||
| I'll be home later. | ||
| I gotta watch the game, see if my prop bets hit. | ||
| You know, if someone hits it to the warning track, I get 20 bucks. | ||
| Yeah, there's definitely, there's no like, oh, I'm gonna take the run line. | ||
| Nah, nah, nah, dude. | ||
| You're going wild. | ||
| Or just like, because sports is such an excuse to drink. | ||
| It could be like an alcoholism thing. | ||
| He's got an addictive personality. | ||
| That's really all he's revealing there. | ||
| The problem he has with sports is the problem he has with him. | ||
| Not sports. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Sports are not the issue here, Alex. | ||
| And that might be why he thinks that sports takes away people's virility and their enthusiasm and energy. | ||
| It's because it does for him. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He gets fucked up by them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| As we have found elsewhere, he is a world-class projector. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| He should get a movie theater job. | ||
| He's such a projectionist. | ||
| So in this next clip, Alex talks a little bit about science. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| He's wrong. | ||
| I bet. | ||
| And the system's written countless books, countless university studies, white papers. | ||
| They had the Stanford research studies. | ||
| They had others. | ||
| There was more than seven famous ones where they were able to get nine out of ten or more people to murder subjects in the graduate student and Ph.D. programs. | ||
| Look them up. | ||
| I did. | ||
| There are a bunch of famous studies. | ||
| Just type in famous study where students believed they were killing subjects. | ||
| And when an authority figure stood there, their professor, by successful approximation, took a week or so of them slowly torturing people, they believed, with actors. | ||
| That's not how that works. | ||
| With electric shocks to then say, kill them. | ||
| And most people would then kill or what they believed was murder. | ||
| Under peer pressure from an authority figure. | ||
| That's the Milgram experiment. | ||
| Ooh, shouldn't have been specific, Alex. | ||
| Not a good idea. | ||
| Figures. | ||
| And that's what this has all been about, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| So that's the one that's about the Nuremberg trials, essentially. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The foundational question was, is it possible that these people were just following orders? | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so what they did is they had it set up where one subject, the test subject, was in a room with an experimenter. | ||
| Had the dial. | ||
| No. | ||
| Had a button. | ||
| They had the button? | ||
| I was fairly certain that was the dial one. | ||
| Or they had it. | ||
| It was like it would turn up every... | ||
| Yes. | ||
| The experimenter would turn up the knob, which was a fake knob. | ||
| Right. | ||
| How it worked was you had the experimenter and you had the subject. | ||
| And in the other room, the next room, you had the plant, who was working with the experimenter, and they were supposedly another subject of the study. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So you had the experimenter. | ||
| The role of the subject was to be a teacher. | ||
| And the other subject in the other room was supposed to be the student. | ||
| And in the setup of the experiment, the subject would be sitting there, and they would try and get the other person in the other room to... | ||
| to guess a word based on another word. | ||
| There was a word game that they were playing and whenever they got an answer wrong they were supposed to shock the I don't think we should do this. | ||
| They would rebut them four times, and if they made it past the fourth rebuttal, the experiment would end. | ||
| That was the whole idea to see how much people would push back against authority. | ||
| And they did find that most people very unhappily went along with it. | ||
| The other way the experiment ended was you get up to 450 volts. | ||
| Which is enough to kill. | ||
| Theoretically. | ||
| They were told it was enough to kill. | ||
| That's not an essential piece of the experiment. | ||
| That's one of the things he's misrepresenting. | ||
| I mean, 65 volts could kill you. | ||
| It's electricity through your brain. | ||
| It's not about voltage. | ||
| It's about current when it comes down to electricity. | ||
| And it also comes down to, like, do you have a wound that it's going in? | ||
| Because then the, like, skin is a really good conductor for the most part of electricity. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But if you have a cut or something like that, the blood is going to, it's going to be a disaster. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So there's all, like, it's not, they weren't sitting down there being like, kill this man or something like that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| No, he does present it that way. | ||
| It was super fucked up as an experiment and what they learned was pretty shocking. | ||
| Now. | ||
| Here's the other most important piece that Alex is not talking about. | ||
| The Milgram experiment, it is historically seen as not that great of an experiment. | ||
| And here's why. | ||
| Everyone was dudes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I mean, in a certain way... | ||
| The original experiment was all dudes. | ||
| If you are going to test that as a Nuremberg trial situation, though, not a lot of Nazi female soldiers in that regard. | ||
| Yeah, that's probably true. | ||
| And it was at the time, you know, militaries were. | ||
| All dudes. | ||
| Except for the Russian military, because they needed everybody. | ||
| Right, but you can't... | ||
| As far as an experiment goes, I don't think he is... | ||
| I think he's misrepresenting it and getting a lot of the details wrong. | ||
| But based on what he is saying, I think he's got the spirit of what he's trying to say correct. | ||
| Which is that it's weird that people would be willing to murder because of an authority figure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If that's all he's trying to say. | ||
| In the first set of experiments, I mean, Alex said 90%, 65%. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| 26 out of the 40 experiment participants, which is also too small a sample size to really externalize. | ||
| Way too small. | ||
| And generalize based on. | ||
| It's fucked up, but it's still like. | ||
| So 65% of the participants administered the experiment's final 450-volt shock, though many were very uncomfortable doing so. | ||
| At some point, every participant paused and questioned the experiment. | ||
| Some said they would refund the money they were paid for participating in the experiment. | ||
| Throughout the experiment, subjects displayed varying degrees of tension and stress. | ||
| Subjects were sweating, trembling. | ||
| stuttering, biting their lips, groaning, digging their fingernails into their skin, and some were even having nervous laughing fits or seizures. | ||
| In passing, he does mention... | ||
| The Stanford Prison Experiment? | ||
| And that's another super fucked up one. | ||
| And it's also another one that... | ||
| In the same way that Milgram is... | ||
| They are described less as experiments and more as kind of philosophical questions. | ||
| And cautions. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The Stanford Prison Experiment is a... | ||
| You know, if it were... | ||
| If the... | ||
| What am I trying to say? | ||
| If the strictures of the experiment were applied elsewhere, it would be immediately invalidated. | ||
| No biological science, no any science, any of the hard sciences would ever accept those rules as a valid experiment. | ||
| It's more or less anecdotal in nature. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| But it's still poignant. | ||
| It is. | ||
| You know, the Stanford Prison Experiment, you can still draw some conclusions from that, but you can't draw wide, far-reaching conclusions. | ||
| You can just notice, hey, human beings are fucked up. | ||
| You know what they almost are? | ||
| They almost are good ways to inoculate people from that behavior in the future. | ||
| That's possible. | ||
| Because you have these, quote, experiments that are done that demonstrate a point, and people can see it illustrated in real time, and they're like, oh, I hope I wouldn't do that. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then possibly going through their life, they're more aware of the influence of authority figures. | |
| Well, and the only problem with that, though, is... | ||
| It doesn't seem to matter. | ||
| You know, we have a very good experiment about how Nazism works, and apparently people are still fine with it. | ||
| Yeah, that's fairly true. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, well. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Those are really, really interesting studies. | ||
| Again, because they are invalid. | ||
| There's, you know, just by the very fact of it being, you being aware that it is an experiment. | ||
| And you're being paid. | ||
| And you're being paid means that you're, you know, like if I'm in that situation with an experiment and they're saying blah blah blah blah blah, there's also the part of your brain that goes, well there's no way they would allow me to kill a guy. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| So there's an artificial construct there. | ||
| What if they did? | ||
| Right? | ||
| What if they did? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dude! | |
| It was the 60s! | ||
| Who fucking knows? | ||
| The 70s. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| But yeah, you kill the guy and the experimenter's like, dude. | ||
| That's fucked up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, I mean, you want to go back to the fucking Tuskegee experiments? | |
| They're fine with killing people. | ||
| Especially back then. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| That was back when science was more of like a... | ||
| Hey, you guys here's some money. | ||
| Go fucking whatever. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Just do something. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| Let's justify your budget. | ||
| That's all we need from you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So Alex is wrong about the... | ||
| I mean, it's sort of like these... | ||
| He's right in a small sense and wrong in a big sense. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| About these experiments. | ||
| As is so often the case when we say he is right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is generally speaking in a very, very small capacity. | |
| A very trivial way. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But don't let that fucking fool you. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I won't. | ||
| Alex has a history of reading brainy magazines. | ||
| Please don't tell me he says that. | ||
| He does. | ||
| Ugh. | ||
| I remember reading 20-something years ago. | ||
| In different publications that were a little bit more brainy that the CIA by the 50s had put out a worldwide program to put out ugly art to discredit beautiful art because they wanted to destroy the discrimination factors in the brain between what is good and what is bad. | ||
| You read that in brainy publications. | ||
| I came on a skull too. | ||
| I don't know if you guys remember that one. | ||
| Well, yeah, there is that. | ||
| Go back to the March 30th episode. | ||
| For that fucking super fun time. | ||
| So his idea of what... | ||
| So as he understands the CIA's plan, it is to put out bad art in order to discredit good art. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That. | ||
| It's a great CIA plan, and I would fund more of that. | ||
| And, like, the idea of, like, making it so you can't differentiate between good art and bad art, what is beautiful and what is ugly, it's complete nonsense. | ||
| But, I mean, you go into the, there's tons of anecdotes of, like, oh, I actually just let a monkey paint this and it sold for a million dollars. | ||
| What are you talking about going to discredit art? | ||
| The art world is already fabricated anyways. | ||
| Yeah, but there's a truth to some of this. | ||
| The CIA did... | ||
| Help promote people like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning. | ||
| Like these abstract expressionists back in their time. | ||
| I did not know that. | ||
| They did. | ||
| And it was a piece of the Cold War strategy that they had. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The CIA was wild during the Cold War. | |
| I'm reading here from an article in Open Culture about this. | ||
| The artists themselves were completely unaware that their work was being used as propaganda. | ||
| On what agents called a, quote, long leash, they participated in several exhibitions secretly organized by the CIA, such as the New American Painting, which visited major European cities in 1958 and 1959, and included such modern primitive works as surrealist William Baziot's 1947 painting, Dorf, and 1951's Tournament by Adolf Gottlieb. | ||
| And 1984's Dorf on Golf. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| So they're like super fucked up paintings. | ||
| They're like bizarre. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Completely abstract. | ||
| So was the... | ||
| Okay, next question. | ||
| And this is very serious. | ||
| Was the CIA behind the Dadaist movement? | ||
| They were behind Rococo. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I accept that. | ||
| So the idea that what they were doing is... | ||
| You have this art, and it's not really seen as all that great over here. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But you have people in Russia... | ||
| Who are used to very concrete paintings. | ||
| Because in their totalitarian state in the 50s, in the Soviet Union, you had a firmer control over art. | ||
| So you had basically the art that was approved is like realistic paintings of Stalin. | ||
| And shit like that. | ||
| That's what flies over there. | ||
| And so promotion in Europe of this... | ||
| Like, very bizarre American art is going to lead to positive American sentiments because they're going to see America as avant-garde. | ||
| They're going to see them on the cutting edge. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got you. | |
| And it's going to be so different from what they're used to. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So that is the strategy that the CIA was employing as a way of culturally piercing the Soviet Union citizens. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That is what they were doing. | ||
| It has nothing to do with trying to warp the minds of good and bad. | ||
| So it's like if the CIA was exporting Super Mario Brothers to North Korea right now. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Basically. | ||
| Yeah, essentially. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, sometimes I wish we could go back to the Cold War. | |
| Like, when you read the stories of what the CIA did during the Cold War and how they had so little oversight... | ||
| All of their plans were Rube Goldberg machines. | ||
| It's fantastic how silly they were. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Just so much rooting through garbage and like, okay, what if we implant this thing inside a mouse? | ||
| It's a little recording device and maybe the mouse will go into the boardroom and we'll get to hear all of it. | ||
| Did they with cats too? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Like, what are you guys, what is this? | ||
| Are you guys mad scientists? | ||
| What's happening is delightful. | ||
| They were to some extent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But that's the intersection. | ||
| The intersection of desperation and like Early technologies. | ||
| The military-industrial complex run amok? | ||
| Well, that too, but rudimentary technologies. | ||
| Right. | ||
| We couldn't quite do what we needed to do yet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And then you add lack of oversight because of the desperate times. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like, the real severe fear. | ||
| And we could argue all day about whether that was overblown. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| The fears that we had about the Soviet Union back then. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| Well, I mean, who knows? | ||
| It was all imaginary. | ||
| So we still have not gotten to what I would call... | ||
| I mean, you consider how many close calls we had with nuclear warfare destroying the Earth, though, and it's like, some of those fears are really good, but those fears should have been more towards, okay, wait, so we're giving nuclear weapons to a bunch of idiots? | ||
| And we're a bunch of idiots? | ||
| And they're giving nuclear weapons to a bunch of idiots. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh boy! | ||
| That leads to a lot of close calls. | ||
| Yeah, we had, there have been what, like five documented and declassified instances of like one dude coming down to... | ||
| I believe so. | ||
| Should I press the button or not? | ||
| I'm aware of like at least a couple, but I would assume that it's more than I'm aware of. | ||
| Well, the most famous one was the guy who just died in May, was it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Something like that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The Russian guy who, against all orders from his superiors, was like, it's probably a training exercise. | ||
| Saved the world. | ||
| Yeah, saved the world! | ||
| By himself! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he was then put into Siberia and never allowed to speak of it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well. | ||
| Great. | ||
| That's what happens. | ||
| Good work, guys! | ||
| So, we've not gotten to today's theme yet. | ||
| Okay, we got a theme. | ||
| We have the whole episode on this January 17th. | ||
| Is about how football sucks. | ||
| No. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| That's just how he started. | ||
| It's about how the Red Sox suck. | ||
| No. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Although he did lose a lot of money. | ||
| He was betting against the spread. | ||
| Stupid. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bad idea. | |
| Bad idea. | ||
| No. | ||
| Don't bet baseball. | ||
| Don't bet basketball. | ||
| He has a very bizarre theme, and it's going to lead us through most of the rest of this episode. | ||
| And boy, just strap it in. | ||
| Oh boy, howdy. | ||
| And I'm going to talk some about that in the second hour today. | ||
| Is the Mark of the Beast real? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| And the answer is yes, it is real. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You win! | |
| Called it! | ||
| I knew it! | ||
| And the answer is, we're going to end up living under it, and no one is going to be raptured out of it. | ||
| Where does it say that in the Bible? | ||
| Now, when I say that, many of my Christian listeners and viewers get extremely angry and say that I'm basically bad, they're going to stop listening to me. | ||
| That means you're in a cult. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| If someone disagrees with you about something in the Bible and it's not the deity of Jesus Christ or the Trinity, then you've got a problem to become a Pharisee. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| And the reason we have tens of thousands of different denominations in this world is because everyone's infighting with each other claiming they know the way and they have the answers. | ||
| If you want to believe in a rapture... | ||
| That is your business, and I'm not judging you for it. | ||
| Actually, I am the way and the truth and the life. | ||
| And I don't think you're of the devil. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cool. | |
| You have been grievously deceived. | ||
| By the devil. | ||
| And I could go to the Bible and show people this all day long. | ||
| And I'm going to talk about it the next hour. | ||
| Very excited for you to talk about that in the next hour. | ||
| Does he not get the irony of him saying... | ||
| May I introduce you to my friend's pedal? | ||
| It's insane! | ||
| If somebody disagrees with you... | ||
| About anything but the Trinity, you've got a problem. | ||
| Which implies that if you have a disagreement about the Trinity or Jesus' divinity, then that's not a problem. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Also... | |
| No such thing as the Trinity. | ||
| At no point in the Bible do they ever talk about the Holy Spirit being a top three. | ||
| Ah, ghost is in there. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Come on. | |
| Ah, come on. | ||
| I am a tripartite deity. | ||
| The Holy Ghost. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't want to unpack that. | ||
| Also, even Jesus is God. | ||
| It's all stupid. | ||
| I'm kidding. | ||
| I don't know if you guys have heard this from me. | ||
| I don't think the Bible's true. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I think they might have been lying. | ||
| I think you and Alex might have a problem. | ||
| I think they... | ||
| Well, we don't disagree on the Holy Trinity. | ||
| One of the things that I like the most about the Bible is if you look at a number of verses, especially... | ||
| I kind of discount most of the Old Testament because it's old. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Magic. | |
| And Jesus' arrival and sacrifice invalidates the Old Covenant. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pretty much. | |
| And creates a new covenant. | ||
| And yet somehow we're still listening to people tell us about the Old Testament. | ||
| Right. | ||
| With all due respect to... | ||
| The Jewish folk who do have a lot of the Old Testament in their holy books. | ||
| I guess Christians do too, but it should just be historical and not because of Jesus. | ||
| Nope, literal. | ||
| Because of Jesus. | ||
| Literal. | ||
| Because of Jesus. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| So the things that I really resonate with in terms of the Bible, if we want to talk about it, it is Jesus being divine. | ||
| That sort of idea. | ||
| And there are many instances where he says things to the effect of, you will do what I do and greater. | ||
| That I'm not different than you. | ||
| That sort of thing. | ||
| And if you look at it that way, the idea that Jesus is God, that sort of divinity within him is the divinity that's within all of us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And I can vibe on that. | ||
| If you want to vibe, I can vibe on that. | ||
| You can't, though. | ||
| Because Christians do not believe that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Too busy talking about the wrath of the Old Testament. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| But Alex, I'm very interested in this episode. | ||
| He is fucking bent out of shape about the rapture. | ||
| Because it's not... | ||
| Alright, continue. | ||
| He's furious. | ||
| And I think what has happened... | ||
| In the pro or the con, he thinks the rapture is real, right? | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh, he thinks the rapture is not real. | ||
| He's against the pre-tribulation rapture. | ||
| So... | ||
| Alright, alright. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Let's get into this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jordan. | |
| I want to dive in here. | ||
| I don't know if you've been paying attention, but throughout the last, like, maybe 10, 12 episodes, there's been a guy who keeps calling in. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's a guy who keeps calling into Alex's show and trying to explain the pre-tribulation rapture to him. | ||
| It was one of the writers of Left Behind, right? | ||
| And Alex keeps telling him, like, I don't want to have this debate. | ||
| Like, how do you keep getting through the calls? | ||
| So he keeps getting through the screeners, and Alex hears his voice and is like, I don't want to talk to you. | ||
| That's fantastic. | ||
| So that's been sort of a narrative arc that's been going on. | ||
| And I think this guy has finally gotten to Alex. | ||
| Because he, on this show, spends almost the entire time talking about how stupid... | ||
| Pre-trib rapture is. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Sign me up for that as well. | ||
| Divinity with all of us and pre-tribulation rapture is dumb. | ||
| So Alex believes there's a post-tribulation rapture. | ||
| And that's because... | ||
| That's somehow even dumber. | ||
| Well, it's because in the Bible, or at least in Alex's interpretation of Revelation, and I guess Daniel and maybe Ezekiel, some of the prophetic books of the Bible, he believes that they're... | ||
| Which we're all right. | ||
| I nailed it, as we all know. | ||
| The Antichrist comes. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And leads us to a real bad time. | ||
| Yeah, he's a bummer. | ||
| A real bad time. | ||
| He's a bummer. | ||
| Right, almost as bad as Trump. | ||
| Dude, he's the worst. | ||
| So we go through that. | ||
| A lot of the world dies out. | ||
| Turns out he's a dragon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
| And then God comes back in... | ||
| The Battle of Armageddon. | ||
| Jesus comes back, and that's when the battle happens, and then there's a rapture. | ||
| Much like the Red Sox in 2003. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Alex is going to lose a lot of money on the Armageddon. | ||
| Ooh, I'm betting on Satan on this one. | ||
| You've got to hedge your bets. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| That's probably a sin. | ||
| What are you getting? | ||
| Minus 300 on Satan? | ||
| What are you getting there? | ||
| That's a good spread. | ||
| That's not bad. | ||
| Yeah, you've got Jesus and the field. | ||
| I'll take the field. | ||
| I'm not going to take the field. | ||
| I'm not going to gamble on Armageddon. | ||
| But be that as it may, that's Alex's conception. | ||
| And he's furious that I think a lot of his listeners are trying to convince him of the pre-tribulation rapture. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Where in the Antichrist comes the faithful go to heaven and they get to sit out this whole trouble. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| The troubles, as it were. | ||
| And he is mad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because Alex believes that that is a globalist conspiracy. | |
| Yes. | ||
| I wish I wasn't joking. | ||
| I wish I was joking. | ||
| I wish that was just like a good bit I came up with. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not. | |
| He believes. | ||
| I think he spells it out in this next clip. | ||
| I'll just play this and then we can discuss it on the other end. | ||
| God would protect his people many times at a point and Providence was clear. | ||
| But you have to go through the fire first. | ||
| You have to be willing to be put to the sword until God acts. | ||
| And in many cases, like the Christians in the Colosseum, God doesn't take action. | ||
| Because it's part of the plan that they be martyrs to spread the faith. | ||
| But how do you get a billion Christians To lay down and to not be involved and let the devil take over the world. | ||
| How do you do that? | ||
| Well, you tell them they're not going to have to face judgment. | ||
| They're not going to have to face crises and evil on this planet, that they should just lay down to everything. | ||
| And you teach them Romans 13 out of context. | ||
| So, Alex believes that this interpretation of... | ||
| The pre-tribulation rapture is something that is being taught in the Glitterbug churches and what have you as a way of taking away the activism and power of the billion Christians that could be fighting the devil. | ||
| It's the devil, and he does imply that it's the globalists who are doing this. | ||
| A caller calls in and says that all of the world's religions, like Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, they all met in Seoul, Korea. | ||
| They all met in Seoul, Korea? | ||
| They did. | ||
| They got to Seoul, South Korea, and they had a conversation where they decided to, eh, let's have a one-world religion. | ||
| All these religions came together and decided that. | ||
| And the true comedy of it is this caller is listing off the religions. | ||
| He's like, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism. | ||
| And then Alex Jones chimes in, Shintoism! | ||
| No, they left Shintoism out of that one. | ||
| They were like, nah, nah, nah. | ||
| You guys keep going and worshiping the trees or whatever. | ||
| Get the fuck out of here. | ||
| Shintoism. | ||
| Come on! | ||
| It's a very, very small population, but I love the idea. | ||
| You guys barely sacrifice anything. | ||
| I love the idea that Alex, he's like, gotta throw in something to make myself sound smart. | ||
| Shinto! | ||
| So yeah, man, it's a conspiracy. | ||
| That's fantastic. | ||
| And all they have to do. | ||
| I love how Christians seem to have never read the Gospels. | ||
| The Synoptic Gospels? | ||
| Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? | ||
| Yeah, just the four, where Jesus is like, hey, let's not fight, assholes. | ||
| Turn the other cheek. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How do you get a billion Christians to just lay down? | |
| You have them read the Bible? | ||
| So Romans 13, if you go back and just a refresher course, it's really actually pretty fucked up, because it is very clearly saying, hey... | ||
| You should submit to your rulers because they're representatives of God. | ||
| It's one of the reasons, it's one of the justifications that they've used for slavery over many, many years. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Especially in the United States. | ||
| For the one in authority is God's servant for your good. | ||
| If you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. | ||
| They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. | ||
| Therefore, it's necessary to submit to authorities, not because of possible punishment, but also as a matter of conscience. | ||
| The next paragraph deals with give everyone what you owe them. | ||
| If you owe taxes, pay taxes. | ||
| If revenue, then revenue. | ||
| If respect, then respect. | ||
| If honor, then honor. | ||
| It's almost as though it was written by somebody with like a... | ||
| You know, vested interest in maintaining power. | ||
| Seems crazy to think of that in the Bible. | ||
| So then it gets into, in the next paragraph, you get into all the commandments can be summed up in the one command. | ||
| Love thy neighbor is yourself. | ||
| Love does no harm to a neighbor. | ||
| Therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law. | ||
| Great. | ||
| You know, that encourages societal unity. | ||
| All right. | ||
| And then the last part about it, the last paragraph, starting at verse 11. And do this, understanding the present time. | ||
| The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. | ||
| Which is a truism. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| If there is an end eventually, then right now, it's sooner than it was earlier. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So there's that. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Nailed it. | ||
| It seems almost counterintuitive that it was like the night is almost over and the day is almost here, which is like... | ||
| No, I think that means I should go fuck as much as I want, because the night's about done, and I gotta go to work tomorrow. | ||
| The sun's coming. | ||
| Yeah, so fucking let's go. | ||
| There's something to that. | ||
| But then the only rebuttal I would say is maybe, like, if you need practice being good, you know? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's not gonna come easy the first time. | ||
| Right, like the Red Sox. | ||
| Because we love debauchery. | ||
| So, like, we gotta practice being decent or something. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| I don't understand exactly how that passage is weaponized outside of literally interpreting it as submit to authorities. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Which is there. | ||
| I mean, it's in your holy book, so. | ||
| Quite a bit. | ||
| Deal with it. | ||
| A lot. | ||
| Deal with it. | ||
| That's not a misrepresentation of what that means. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| It's actually literally what it says. | ||
| So also, I mean, it's not a conspiracy. | ||
| It's not a globalist conspiracy. | ||
| Don't think so. | ||
| So, is the Mark of the Beast real, Jordan? | ||
| It might be your headphones. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ah. | |
| Is your headphones off? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There we go. | |
| Okay. | ||
| At this point, do you believe the Mark of the Beast is real? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| What do you think about this whole rapture situation? | ||
| Is the Mark of the Beast real? | ||
| Because, obviously, it's here. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You answered the question. | |
| I'm going to break down the type of world we're going to live in under this Antichrist system. | ||
| Everything controlled. | ||
| Everything distorted. | ||
| A false reality forced into our consciousness to deceive even the elect. | ||
| That is the modern Antichrist system. | ||
| And I tell you, if I was ever a Doubting Thomas in my life, which I never was, but you still academically doubt, boy, I tell you, it is bone-chilling how real all this is and how Scripture is being fulfilled. | ||
| Very. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| Very bone-chilling. | ||
| So, you know... | ||
| Alex is on this tip. | ||
| He's worked up about the revelation and biblical prophecy coming true. | ||
| Beyond that, later, he does sort of spell out what the world is going to look like. | ||
| And, of course, it's just the globalist. | ||
| It's a bummer. | ||
| It's a globalist fantasy. | ||
| Yeah, it's a bummer. | ||
| And then, beyond that, the other thing is, he reveals that, like, I studied this and I've seen it in dreams. | ||
| Great, great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| That's not great. | ||
| That's what I like to hear. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's the way it's supposed to go. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, after this point, Alex is on to some other shit. | ||
| All right. | ||
| And now we've got to talk about chimeras. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And again, if you're an atheist, my point is look at the dehumanization. | ||
| Look at the genetic engineering. | ||
| Look at the elites saying they're going to merge with machines and become gods. | ||
| Look at humans being grown inside cows and sheep to harvest their organs. | ||
| Look at them. | ||
| Can I look at them? | ||
| This is the real world. | ||
| And it goes on and on and on. | ||
| But if it's admitted in just an MIT magazine, nobody cares. | ||
| I just thought of something. | ||
| I have a responsibility to go to these facilities. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And to get answers and to just show people. | ||
| It's just like Planned Parenthood infiltration. | ||
| They're now suing that group that infiltrated. | ||
| Planned Parenthood, by every yardstick, is committing crimes selling the body parts. | ||
| They lied to the public and said they weren't. | ||
| They don't tell women they're selling the body parts. | ||
| Because they're not. | ||
| Other abortion facilities have been caught keeping babies alive for harvesting. | ||
| No. | ||
| My dad's a physician, retired, and I remember going to get my driver's license when I was 15. We'll get back to the story in a second, but I do want to just take a second before we move on, because there's another minute of this clip. | ||
| I do want Alex to go save those chimeras. | ||
| Yes, I agree. | ||
| That would be the best true TV show ever. | ||
| Bring a camera. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Make another season of Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy Theory. | ||
| No, chimera hunters. | ||
| Instead of ghost hunters, chimera hunters. | ||
| I'd love it. | ||
| Way in. | ||
| Go to Bastrop. | ||
| Oh, I'd watch that all day. | ||
| All right, so now back to Alex Jones' dad being a fucking weirdo. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| My hardship license is I had a job at a small animal vet. | ||
| I got my license a year early. | ||
| And he said, son, don't sign that organ donor card. | ||
| I would say, dad, stop trying to scare me. | ||
| I would say, why would you say that? | ||
| Here's why. | ||
| And my dad was the type of guy that said, you know, HIV is a bioweapon. | ||
| It only really affects Africans. | ||
| It's very hard for a white person to get it. | ||
| The team will be killed by heavy metals and bad processed drugs. | ||
| Only drug addicts that are Caucasian can get it with rundown immune systems. | ||
| It's a bioweapon, race specific. | ||
| And then later that all came out. | ||
| That's how smart my dad is. | ||
| It came out with John Rappaport. | ||
| Wait, wait, wait. | ||
| This is pretty well debunked. | ||
| No, this is when we talked about this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he's saying that this is... | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| This is from his dentist father. | ||
| Yeah, no wonder he's fucked up. | ||
| His dad told him that HIV has only affected black people. | ||
| Yeah, there's race-specific bioweapons. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| And, hey, guess what? | ||
| The reason that drug users get it more is because of the way people use drugs. | ||
| Oh, is it? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Could it have something to do with that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Could it have something to do with sharing needles? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| All the explanations that he's trying to come up with are so much more complicated than the reality. | ||
| It's a blood-borne disease, and if you share blood with somebody, you're gonna get the disease. | ||
| You can. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But be that as it may. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, obviously. | ||
| Be that as it may, that's crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| That's crazy. | ||
| Yes, that is crazy. | ||
| And that being the response to Alex's like, hey, why shouldn't I sign my organ donor card, is even wilder. | ||
| I think that makes perfect sense. | ||
| Yeah, it's like, uh, hold on. | ||
| What if we look at all of this as just... | ||
| Alex Jones's dad. | ||
| Was fucking with his son. | ||
| I don't think he was fucking with him, but I think he's nuts. | ||
| You think he's nuts? | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But where does he get that great toothpaste from? | |
| Uh... | ||
| He makes it? | ||
| That's where he gets it from. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| So this clip's not done. | ||
| Quote conspiracy theorists, because nobody in the house thought that, you know. | ||
| It was just he knew what he was talking about. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And, you know, he did the dental work. | ||
| I'm a deputy director of the CIA and stuff like that. | ||
| So, you know, people listen to him. | ||
| Did they? | ||
| That's Alex Jones's, he's a CIA dentist narrative. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He did dental work on this one guy. | ||
| Yeah, he did dental work for the deputy director. | ||
| Great. | ||
| But I just took it like, it was just dad sitting there at the dinner table talking. | ||
| But when he said, don't do that, a lot of times they won't give you treatment and they'll actually kill you at the hospital for your organs. | ||
| And I said, what is your proof? | ||
| And he said, I'm just, I'm not going to tell you. | ||
| So now we know where Alex gets that. | ||
| So we figured out where Alex disbelieves proof. | ||
| My dad didn't think it was important to prove the claims that he's making that are wild. | ||
| I guess I could do that too. | ||
| Good to see a clear A to A path there. | ||
| Dad, you just gave me a job. | ||
| So, I mean, people who have... | ||
| Much greater understandings of science can debunk all this for you if you want to go look into it. | ||
| Just don't go to John Rappaport's site. | ||
| Yeah, definitely don't do that. | ||
| That'll lead you down the wrong path. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or really, just think for two seconds. | |
| That helps. | ||
| And then you'd be like, no, that's dumb. | ||
| Also, this chimera shit is wild. | ||
| Because it has just happened. | ||
| Like, the article just came out at the MIT. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| The human chimeras are... | ||
| Gestating on animal farms and what have you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Which we've gone over and discussed and it doesn't say what Alex is saying. | ||
| Of course not. | ||
| Sensational headline to get attention and what have you. | ||
| Now he's going to ramble about it for a little bit here and it goes to some crazy places. | ||
| Excellent. | ||
| It's just something like this. | ||
| Human animal chimeras. | ||
| Are gestating on research farms. | ||
| And I've got hundreds of articles here. | ||
| I could spend all day on these. | ||
| It's not like I keep going back to this four or five times this last week because I don't have material. | ||
| Is it? | ||
| This is a big whitewash article where it calls it tissue. | ||
| No, they're growing embryonic babies that they create embryos in test tubes and then they implant them in. | ||
| The cows and in the sheep and in the pigs because they can't get women to do it. | ||
| And Lord knows they've done it with women, too. | ||
| That's the word. | ||
| That makes sense, too. | ||
| But they want them in cows because they can grow them up bigger and get larger organs. | ||
| So now let's pause right there and discuss the science of this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think Alex thinks... | |
| He thinks that the only reason our organs aren't bigger is because we don't have enough room. | ||
| Yes, we're like goldfish. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I can't do that. | ||
| I can't deal with that. | ||
| They want to put human organs into cows because cows have more space. | ||
| To make bigger organs. | ||
| Hold them up bigger. | ||
| If your liver is failing, you want a huge fucking liver. | ||
| You want a huge liver. | ||
| Maybe that was a design fall with God's plan in the first place. | ||
| If he knew we were going to drink so much, he would have given us bigger livers. | ||
| It's in Ezekiel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Now that's your pre-trip rapture right there. | ||
| So, I mean, I think that there's some comedy and some value in that being said right after the HIV is a race-specific bio weapon. | ||
| They want to use these human animal chimeras in cow bellies because there's more room to make bigger organs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bigger. | |
| That begs the question, though. | ||
| Why wouldn't you go with elephants? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Doesn't that make more sense, Alex? | ||
| Why don't you go with a sperm whale? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| And they're still mammals. | ||
| We could get a shit ton of organs out of them. | ||
| You could get a liver the size of your fucking whole body. | ||
| And that is how you drink. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I love how he does that. | ||
| He obviously reveals why he's doing something by saying he's not doing it. | ||
| Listen. | ||
| And I'm not bragging. | ||
| Okay, you're bragging. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I'm not doing this just because I don't have any material. | ||
| Okay, you don't have any material. | ||
| That's why you just keep saying the exact same thing over and over again. | ||
| I have 100 articles, but I only talk about this one ever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| What a dick. | ||
| 30 years ago. | ||
| 20 years ago, I was reporting on this out of white papers, and it was 10 years old then. | ||
| That's when they admitted it. | ||
| I know I keep belaboring, but this is the point I'm getting out of the story I've told probably 50 times. | ||
| About 14 years ago, I went in to pick up a pizza at a pizza place, and this guy goes, I used to be a listener of you until you lied and said there's sheep and goats that are part spider and that they create body armor in their milk. | ||
| I said, okay, we'll believe whatever you want, sir. | ||
| And he poked me in my back. | ||
| I said, no, you're a liar. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| And I turned around and I said, so you went to college, didn't you? | ||
| I was like, yeah, I did. | ||
| Which is why I know that. | ||
| I went to UT in the 70s. | ||
| And I took biology. | ||
| They don't have stuff like that. | ||
| And I just said, you better get out of my face. | ||
| Yes, that's a good idea. | ||
| And that's what I deal with, folks. | ||
| I'm covering stuff that's... | ||
| The spider goats are at least 25 years old. | ||
| They've been in tens of thousands of publications. | ||
| They've been in hundreds of publications at that time. | ||
| I have the CEO on my show running a Department of Defense program with the goats. | ||
| Now, first of all, spider goats are real. | ||
| But also, I do love just the way he says that sentence. | ||
| I had the CEO who's running a department with the goats. | ||
| It just makes me think of the goats at computers. | ||
| The goats are the employees running the Department of Defense or whatever. | ||
| And that's where Scott Adams got his ideas from. | ||
| It's Goatbert. | ||
| Oh, Goatbert. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Goatbert. | |
| One of the best characters. | ||
| How do the spider leadership feel about the spider goats is another question that I have. | ||
| I think it's just another population for their infantry. | ||
| Is it a joint venture between the goat leadership and the spider leadership to kind of crossbreed? | ||
| I have bad news for you. | ||
| The goat leadership is non-existent. | ||
| Disarray. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They are like just hordes back in the day. | ||
| Like disinterested tribal units. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| I got you. | ||
| They can't get together. | ||
| The goats are... | ||
| Yeah, but if they get a goat guscon together... | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| All right. | ||
| I'm going to get out of here. | ||
| I think I did all I got to do. | ||
| I think I solved my life problem. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| The month before, that guy said I was a liar. | ||
| But see, that's what I can't deal with. | ||
| The Emergency Centers Establishment Act, the Civilian Inmate Labor Camp Program, all of this is admitted. | ||
| FEMA camps are admitted. | ||
| It's all admitted in the Army Times. | ||
| They're preparing them for political dissenters. | ||
| The Army Times. | ||
| But they just sit up there and say crazy people think this is all happening, folks. | ||
| Like you. | ||
| Well, if you would like to recall that episode where we did the... | ||
| The speed, the lightning round. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And discussed all of those FEMA fears. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Alex is just making stuff up. | ||
| Very much so. | ||
| Except for the civilian labor camp thing. | ||
| No, that one we did talk about. | ||
| That one's scary. | ||
| Yeah, that one's possibly true. | ||
| Not good. | ||
| But again, when we deal with stuff like that, you have to deal with the fact that we have a private prison industry in our country that is enslaving people. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, like, if you... | ||
| If you want to talk about both, I support it. | ||
| If you want to talk about one, not the other, talk about the private prisons. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Seems more a big deal now. | ||
| But wait, Dan. | ||
| Privatizing things always makes it better. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Oversight. | ||
| Terrible. | ||
| No regulations. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| What they should do is give those civilian inmates guns. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| That way, they'd really get the job done. | ||
| Well, see, there's bad civilian inmates, but you've got to have good civilian inmates with the guns. | ||
| Oh, of course. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| I don't know what we're talking about anymore. | ||
| Me neither. | ||
| So, Jordan, we're going to get back to the devil in a little bit. | ||
| There's some more thoughts. | ||
| Rest in peace, Malcolm Young. | ||
| There's some more thoughts about the devil and about the rapture. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But this next clip, this is a Mike Down clip. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Alex Jones, like, this next clip is basically, like, I have been looking for this clip for a year. | ||
| So you've fallen in love? | ||
| No. | ||
| You found the woman that you want to marry? | ||
| No, no. | ||
| I have needed something like this to come out of Alex's mouth. | ||
| And he delivered. | ||
| This clip is so fucking damning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| In hindsight, knowing what we know now. | ||
| About the Russian influence campaigns that were running from the summer of 2015. | ||
| And now we are in January of 2016, six months later. | ||
| Listen to this. | ||
| And retail sales and everything else are in the toilet. | ||
| And Obama gets up on TV and says everything's fine, everything's wonderful. | ||
| Everything's not fine, everything's not wonderful. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, I've been on air 21 years. | ||
| And always in the past, when audience level went up... | ||
| Profits went up to fund the operation. | ||
| Our audience has basically doubled the last six months. | ||
| Fastest growth rate ever. | ||
| We got so many listeners, it makes my head spin, and profits are flat to be able to even fund the operation. | ||
| That's why we know this is serious. | ||
| I'm going to cover it more in the next hour. | ||
| It's not doom and gloom, it's facts. | ||
| We're going to get into the latest numbers. | ||
| Royal Bank of Scotland saying, sell everything. | ||
| But please, purchase high-quality products at Infowarsstore.com to help fund this operation during these dark times. | ||
| Our voice is needed more than ever. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| You fucking idiot. | ||
| First of all, nice ad pivot. | ||
| I always enjoyed that. | ||
| Yeah, that was a good one. | ||
| That was a good one. | ||
| But, dude. | ||
| He just revealed that our audience numbers have gone up so high. | ||
| They've doubled. | ||
| But nobody has bought anything. | ||
| I guess that must mean the economy's bad. | ||
| That must mean that Obama is lying about all these statistics that people are putting out about the rising economy. | ||
| It's definitely not that bots are listening to the show now. | ||
| And there's not... | ||
| Well, I mean, not even listening. | ||
| They're just getting artificial inflation of traffic numbers. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| There's not a chance, in my mind, that on some subconscious level, by now, in 2017, Alex knows... | ||
| Goddamn well, that's what happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| He has to. | ||
| It kind of sounds like he doesn't. | ||
| I think that's why he's fighting so hard now, trying to make the Russian stuff seem like nonsense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Because he knows, I have been compromised. | ||
| I've been hoodwinked. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And that clip right there is evidence that in the beginning of 2016, he didn't know. | ||
| But it's obvious. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| I don't know how to come up with a good analogy about this, but it's like Alex talking to his hypothetical friend who got tricked by the Nigerian scam. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Or whatever. | ||
| And the guy's like, I'm going to make a lot of money. | ||
| I just got to go meet this Nigerian prince. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And Alex is hearing him. | ||
| He's like, there's nothing there. | ||
| Alex is talking and saying, like, we have gotten twice the listeners in the last six months as we had before, but no one's buying anything. | ||
| We can hear that, and we're like, oh, dude. | ||
| Oh, we literally know exactly what happened. | ||
| And that, to me, I mean, that's game over. | ||
| That's pretty much... | ||
| That's game over on his, first of all, his audience size. | ||
| And then secondarily... | ||
| That he was not being specifically targeted by these Russian troll farms and bot farms. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So congratulations, Alex. | ||
| You've been compromised by Russia in so many ways. | ||
| And you've revealed it all on your own show. | ||
| And all we had to do to figure it out was pay attention to your dumb ass. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is so fucking obvious now. | |
| Let's get BuzzFeed to report on this, baby! | ||
| And he had no fucking clue. | ||
| What an idiot. | ||
| If we saw a doubling of our numbers, that's actually kind of reasonable, considering how low our numbers are. | ||
| Even then, if we saw that, we'd be like, what the fuck is going on here? | ||
| Something weird's happening here. | ||
| There's a certain part of us that is... | ||
| hoodwink him like that because he expects that to happen. | ||
| He's so narcissistic and we hate ourselves. | ||
| He's like, oh, of course my listeners double because I'm right. | ||
| And it's just robots. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| What a fucking idiot. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| When I heard that clip, I was like... | ||
| Nailed it. | ||
| Because every other time, it's been very nonspecific, and he's just said that the numbers have gone up in that time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But the fact that he's... | ||
| The numbers have gone up. | ||
| Sales are flat. | ||
| Exponentially, the numbers have gone up. | ||
| Sales have stayed exactly the same. | ||
| He's right. | ||
| He's right to see those two numbers and think something's up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He just thinks the wrong thing is up. | ||
| And now we know he knows it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Now we know he knows exactly what happened. | ||
| He has to. | ||
| He has to. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he hasn't revealed that. | ||
| I don't think so, no. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's interesting. | ||
| How do you think his listeners would respond if they knew exactly what was going on there? | ||
| I don't think they would care. | ||
| If you're an Alex Jones listener and you just learn. | ||
| A hostile foreign power. | ||
| Yeah, has artificially inflated the influence of an Alex Jones or of these different right-wing things. | ||
| Exactly how would you take that? | ||
| Would you take it as the Russians are right to do that? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Because Alex has the built-in narrative that Russia are the good guys and what have you, they would probably look at it as like, they were just desperately trying to help the patriots, and that's the way they thought it was best to do it. | ||
| Raise the profile of the one guy telling the truth in this country, and they could save us through working with Russia and getting Donald Trump elected. | ||
| That's probably what they would say. | ||
| And the fact that Alex, at this point, in the beginning of 2016, is clearly... | ||
| Because I don't think... | ||
| I can kind of tell when he's... | ||
| He's such a bad liar. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's indications that kind of shine through, and that seems sincere. | ||
| No, that seemed very sincere. | ||
| He seems confused. | ||
| He's like, wait, why are all these people listening and not also buying stuff? | ||
| Right, and that might actually be why... | ||
| We start to see such a hard, desperate pivot towards sales. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You start to see him really ramp up the commercials and stuff like that. | ||
| Because he thinks more people are listening, so I just gotta sell harder to get more money out of them. | ||
| Yep, there's this untapped area of our listeners. | ||
| If I could just get them, then we'd be fucking rolling in it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Not realizing those people are not buying anything from you. | ||
| I've said this before, but you really have to give it up to the Russians because that was a brilliant strategy. | ||
| I would like to say that you don't have to give it up to them. | ||
| No, I mean, you don't have to give it up to them. | ||
| One of the main reasons that it worked so effectively is because nobody saw it coming. | ||
| Nobody saw this massive flaw in our media landscape. | ||
| I think a lot of people did. | ||
| I think some people did. | ||
| Yeah, but did we do it? | ||
| No. | ||
| Has America done it? | ||
| I think this is one thing where America doesn't have the same kind of troll farms. | ||
| No, I don't know. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| But what I would say is, I don't think even they necessarily thought it would work. | ||
| No, I don't think so. | ||
| I think it was a very, very good strategy. | ||
| If you're fighting a war on a battlefield that you can't win on, choose a different battlefield. | ||
| Like, that's all that they did. | ||
| They know they can't do any number of propaganda things the same way that we can. | ||
| They know they can't fight us physically. | ||
| They know they can't do any of this. | ||
| So they just chose the one spot where they were like, here's a flaw in this system. | ||
| We can dance on this court. | ||
| And we're going to hammer it as hard as we can. | ||
| And it was brilliant. | ||
| For the most part. | ||
| It worked. | ||
| And Alex is a useful idiot. | ||
| Congratulations, Alex. | ||
| Nicely done. | ||
| Now let's get back to the devil. | ||
| Yay! | ||
| But here's the bottom line. | ||
| There is an attack on humanity. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stone cold said so. | |
| And whether the devil's real or not, I want to end debate. | ||
| The political global system of eugenics comes to kill, steal, and destroy and behaves like the mythical devil. | ||
| The archetype is real. | ||
| Joseph Campbell, the whole nine yards, for me there's no debate. | ||
| He's just naming things. | ||
| I know there's a spiritual force. | ||
| I've experienced providence. | ||
| I've experienced many things that are private. | ||
| I can tell you it's real. | ||
| I've interviewed many people I respect, like Colonel Craig Roberts, who died for 10 minutes on the operating table, came back. | ||
| No, he didn't. | ||
| There are third world cultures that don't even have a Christian pantheon or cosmology. | ||
| We've also been checked out by government psychiatrists and others who became Christian, and they have found that the Christ phenomenon, the Golden Gates, McDonald's? | ||
| All of it. | ||
| The portal, the judgment, all of it is real. | ||
| What? | ||
| People say, well, that's an oxymoron. | ||
| You said the dead in Christ are raised after they die. | ||
| Interdimensionally, it doesn't matter. | ||
| They're already in the future at that point. | ||
| See, it's more sophisticated once you understand quantum mechanics. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Hold on. | ||
| You think 1,000 years, 500 years, 20 years, till the post-tribulation rapture? | ||
| Not the pre. | ||
| And then people are having the death experience now. | ||
| They're going in dimensionally to the future. | ||
| If you study the mathematics, it's incredible. | ||
| And by the way, no one's ever postulated that. | ||
| I just understand it. | ||
| And people can say, oh, that's crazy. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Once you figure all this out, the sacred geometry, people are like, that's of the devil. | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| The Bible says the proof of God's design, the proof that God's real, is look in the heavens. | ||
| Look at God's creation. | ||
| Look at what we can do, what we believe, what we think about, we can then later build. | ||
| What? | ||
| That's creator-level stuff. | ||
| We're made in the image of God, little g. | ||
| Think about how incredible that is. | ||
| It's very incredible. | ||
| And then think about the evidence in matter, but also living and non-living. | ||
| Again, how we experience what our ancestors experienced through instincts, through crystallized, compacted memories, race memory. | ||
| It's not the same thing. | ||
| Then we live on through our children genetically as well. | ||
| And then what we build, what we teach, what we write, what we do lives on. | ||
| There's life shooting out at every angle. | ||
| By the way... | ||
| That's very obtuse. | ||
| By the way, InfoWars is doing well. | ||
| God damn it! | ||
| We're not in financial trouble like so much of other talk radio and other media, period. | ||
| Media, period, is oversaturated. | ||
| It's collapsing. | ||
| It's in trouble. | ||
| It's stuffed shirt. | ||
| It's scripted teleprompter reading. | ||
| It's dying. | ||
| Fair point. | ||
| We have been trying to expand in the face of the globalists because everything we do is so successful. | ||
| I have a responsibility, I realize. | ||
| I realized this about nine years ago, to really try to get as big as possible. | ||
| And we've been doing it. | ||
| It's having a huge effect. | ||
| What were you trying to do before that? | ||
| We're just victims of our own success because the satellites... | ||
| The fees, the regulations, the closed captioning, the 15 to 16 million people that tune in and watch our free stream every day is killing us. | ||
| And so I really want to be able to continue on. | ||
| I want to be able to expand. | ||
| But just to continue on, I need folks to go to Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| And I'm doing this because I told CJ, I said, make me plug twice an hour, not one anemic plug at the end of the hour. | ||
| I mean, it really has to be plugging every section, like others do. | ||
| Plus, these products really do sell themselves once you use them. | ||
| I barely have to sell them. | ||
| I wanted to keep that part at the end there, because it is him drinking the Kool-Aid about these new listeners and what have you. | ||
| Yeah, of course. | ||
| And wrestling with, like, why aren't we making $50 million? | ||
| What the fuck is going on? | ||
| But, man... | ||
| He is out there. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He is out there. | ||
| So, I've never heard... | ||
| Sacred geometry, my dude. | ||
| I've never heard before that once you understand quantum mechanics, you'll realize that when people die for ten minutes... | ||
| They go to the future. | ||
| They go to the future. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They've also seen the Golden Gates and the judgment is real, but then they come back. | ||
| It's totally real. | ||
| Is that how that works? | ||
| It's scientifically and mathematically proven. | ||
| Scientifically and mathematically proven. | ||
| Proven that the post-death judgment that you go through is real. | ||
| It's kind of like that movie Defending Your Life featuring Albert Brooke. | ||
| Or it's like the movie Flatliners. | ||
| No, Defending Your Life, it's a much better movie. | ||
| Fair. | ||
| Yeah, that's wild. | ||
| I'm talking about the original Flatliners, of course. | ||
| Oh, I only like the remake. | ||
| I am flabbergasted by that clip. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| I fucking love it. | ||
| So anytime somebody like him says quantum mechanics, you can already tune out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| Because you're like, you, nope, nope, you got nothing there. | ||
| I'm shocked you memorized the pronunciation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| Don't even say the word quantum because you're just going to hurt yourself with it. | ||
| So now here's where it gets like fucking awesome for me is like, okay, he starts that clip by saying the debate about the devil is over. | ||
| It's over. | ||
| It's over. | ||
| As far as I'm concerned, that debate is done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Okay. | ||
| So then, all that stuff about, you know, Joseph Campbell, all these cultures. | ||
| Joseph Campbell, and the whole Nine Yards. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Let's not forget his band name. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The movie. | |
| Not the whole Ten Yards. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| And these cultures, they've shown that the judgment is real and all that. | ||
| And science has shown that when you die, your consciousness goes forward to the post-tribulation rapture. | ||
| Then he gets on to sacred geometry. | ||
| They say that's of the devil. | ||
| No, it's not! | ||
| It's totally real. | ||
| You know it's real because when God said, what's the proof of seeing me? | ||
| He said, look around. | ||
| So sacred geometry is obviously real. | ||
| I only date girls who have tattoos of the Fibonacci spiral. | ||
| All right, Alex. | ||
| And then, of course, it comes back to ads. | ||
| It's just like, what is going on? | ||
| He's just losing it. | ||
| There's just this, like, I think that he's incredibly, like, at this point, he's so confused. | ||
| What do you say to somebody saying stuff like that? | ||
| Well, I don't even mean about that. | ||
| That part is like, you shouldn't be saying this on air. | ||
| You shouldn't be saying this, period. | ||
| No, I dig it. | ||
| I read up on stuff like that. | ||
| I read up on sacred geometry. | ||
| On how quantum mechanics proves that when you die, your brain goes to the future and comes back? | ||
| I'm sure I've read blogs about it and stuff like that. | ||
| Possible. | ||
| I enjoy reading pseudoscience and spiritualism and stuff like that. | ||
| I like reading that stuff. | ||
| I don't believe it necessarily, but I feel so weird about it. | ||
| That I would never tell you what I know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would never sit here and be like, oh yeah, but... | |
| And list off specifics. | ||
| Alex is doing that, but he also believes it. | ||
| He needs to be less specific. | ||
| In the same way that that Milgram experiment. | ||
| If he hadn't said Milgram or talked about the electric shocks or whatever, then he could be vague enough that I can't disprove that. | ||
| That I can disprove. | ||
| He's too specific here. | ||
| This is what crazy people believe. | ||
| Alex is a crazy person. | ||
| This isn't religion. | ||
| Former Department of Defense psychiatrists, who have become Christians, have officially proven that the Golden Gates are real. | ||
| I did not know that. | ||
| Pachanek probably told him that. | ||
| I did not know that. | ||
| Because he's a state psychiatrist. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's the only person I know of at that qualification. | ||
| Is he a Christian? | ||
| Nah, maybe. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I always guess I assumed he's Jewish, but I don't know. | ||
| Just because of the name. | ||
| Okay, so does he think that the hurricane he lived through happened because... | ||
| I think I might have thought he was Jewish because he lives in Florida. | ||
| There might be a bias on my part and I apologize for it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Could be. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know anything about his life. | ||
| Except he lives in Florida and he's big on manners. | ||
| So let's get to this next clip. | ||
| In this one, Alex is talking about how the Chinese have decided that they're going to start a new program where they have... | ||
| They're going to deport people to the Golden Gates. | ||
| No, no, not quite. | ||
| They have a Facebook kind of thing, but where you can leave reviews of people, and you'll get a social credit score. | ||
| This is an idea that they were throwing around. | ||
| I don't think they've implemented it, because it got roundly attacked by everybody. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It turned into a great Black Mirror episode. | ||
| Basically, yeah. | ||
| Within the next two years, we're going to implement it. | ||
| It's going to be law. | ||
| It started now, 2016, that every political statement you make, everything you buy, everything you do will be fed through our database, the equivalent of their NSA. | ||
| Impossible. | ||
| And will be put into a social media score. | ||
| In fact, you can pull that up. | ||
| China announces new social credit score. | ||
| And then if you're not a good globalist, you can't buy or sell. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you're not a good globalist, you can't buy yourself. | |
| The Mark of the Beast kind of thing. | ||
| But before he gets into talking about how everyone's going to do this and they're going to think it's cool, this is China. | ||
| They had a one-child policy for a really long time. | ||
| And it worked perfectly, as everybody knows. | ||
| If you want to talk about oppressiveness, it's China. | ||
| This is not surprising, these ideas to be coming out of a pretty authoritarian state. | ||
| The rest of the world is not going to be into it, and turns out China wasn't. | ||
| No. | ||
| Again, good episode of Black Mirror. | ||
| Good episode. | ||
| If you do, you get lower prices. | ||
| Now it's peer pressure. | ||
| Now if your friends aren't good communists, you don't get a good social score. | ||
| So now you shun them to ghettos. | ||
| There's BBC, China's social credit, Beijing sets up huge system. | ||
| And the BBC announces it like it's a good idea. | ||
| It's not total tyranny. | ||
| It only upsets him because this might happen to white people. | ||
| What he's describing is the current credit system we have now, and it's only incredibly offensive to black people and minorities and the like. | ||
| Whereas this, he's like, this could even hurt white people! | ||
| Are you guys crazy? | ||
| There is a thread of that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's exactly what's going on. | ||
| He's describing the system that we have now. | ||
| But it only hurts minorities. | ||
| Yeah, there's something to that. | ||
| Let's get to the end of this clip because it takes a twist that you're not going to expect. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| What's described in Revelations. | ||
| So is the Mark of the Beast real? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Oh, it's been used as a blueprint whether or not the cosmology itself is true. | ||
| And I'm a Christian. | ||
| But I don't want to be associated with the establishment Pharisee state-run churches that are 501c3. | ||
| Now, even CNN got it right to their credit. | ||
| China's chilling plan to use social credit ratings to keep score on its citizens. | ||
| CNN's so weird, man. | ||
| They do so much bad, and then sometimes they tell the truth in amazing ways. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or... | |
| Well, I'll tell you why. | ||
| It's like RT will talk about the bad stuff America does, but not bad stuff Russia does. | ||
| CNN's run by the CIA. | ||
| So now he also knows that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He is aware of that. | ||
| He knows that RT is run by the FSB. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Okay. | ||
| What an idiot! | ||
| I... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I... | |
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| First of all, CNN is not run by the CIA. | ||
| No. | ||
| But secondarily... | ||
| And if it was run by the CIA, they should sell it. | ||
| They're not good at running it. | ||
| Yeah, or they'd do a much different job with the content that they put up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But be that as it may... | ||
| That indicates a clear awareness that Alex knows that RT is run by Russian government. | ||
| And is a Russian state outlet for propaganda. | ||
| And he, as we covered in our last episode that we put out on the podcast feed... | ||
| Loves RT. | ||
| ...has been on a whole bunch of times saying very anti-American stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| What does that say, Alex? | ||
| What does that say? | ||
| What does that say? | ||
| You dumbass. | ||
| What a dumb, dumb prick. | ||
| He's like the avatar of cognitive dissonance. | ||
| Like, he's some sort of being come to us from the cognitive dissonance planet, and he's teaching us what true... | ||
| In the same way that Jon Hamm is an alien who's taught us what true handsomeness really is. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| So is Alex teaching us what true cognitive dissonance can do to a person. | ||
| Yeah, but it just baffles me the way that he reveals these things. | ||
| Like... | ||
| Because he can't not! | ||
| He thinks it all makes sense. | ||
| It doesn't, though. | ||
| He thinks it's all perfectly reasonable, and so why wouldn't he tell it to you? | ||
| That's that mild schizophrenia shit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That is that, like, the ordered worldview that he has is so... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, he thinks that everything he's saying is dead on, despite the fact that it contradicts itself at every turn. | ||
| And even then, and see, and this is the other stuff where we're talking about him being a performance artist and the like, but this shit is shit he actually believes. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| This is real shit he believes. | ||
| Sacred geometry, the fact that there's a post-tribulation rapture that your brain goes to when you die, if you die before the tribulation and what have you. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, this is not like, this isn't... | ||
| I mean, in the strictest sense, this isn't propaganda. | ||
| No! | ||
| This is wackadoo shit! | ||
| This is a lunatic, is what it is. | ||
| This is the Alex Jones everybody signed up for. | ||
| Right. | ||
| This is what we've all thought Alex Jones was for the longest time. | ||
| It's fucked up that he can have that half of his audience that aren't robots that listen to this and they're like, this guy seems like he gets it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or they're like, this is fun. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Actually, I've been working on a theory, and I'll lay this out in a future thing, that I don't believe that you can find Alex Jones funny unless you subconsciously agree with him. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Or you're just not paying attention. | ||
| That's possible, too. | ||
| Those are the only possibilities. | ||
| I've been getting some responses from people. | ||
| Former AJs? | ||
| No, people who are like... | ||
| I listen to him because I think he's fucking hilarious, man. | ||
| And like, you just can't be paying attention then. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Or you agree with him and you don't want to admit you agree with him because then you're going to have to deal with like, oh really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You want to defend this? | ||
| Everyone knows that's too hard. | ||
| You don't want to fucking do that. | ||
| I think it's hilarious when Alex Jones inflames anti-Semitism and anti-everybody-but-white-people beliefs. | ||
| I think it's hilarious. | ||
| Although, at the same time, we do laugh a shit ton about it. | ||
| So there is that. | ||
| But we laugh a different laugh than those people. | ||
| Yeah, one filled with hate and rage. | ||
| Right, and revelation of what he's actually talking about. | ||
| So anyway. | ||
| We're back to the rapture being a conspiracy in this next clip. | ||
| Enjoy. | ||
| I'm not up here judging anybody that's in the system. | ||
| I'm in it too. | ||
| But I'm in it to try to educate and try to inform people. | ||
| But it's nowhere. | ||
| You can read John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos. | ||
| The beast will wage war against the saints and will overcome them. | ||
| There'll be this great falling away before. | ||
| It'll be the greatest coming to Christ and to God ever. | ||
| As the whole world turns against the beast more and more. | ||
| And then he starts wiping out billions of people. | ||
| A third of the world's population. | ||
| Half the Earth's surface burned. | ||
| Giant columns of flame. | ||
| Mountains. | ||
| Huge metal insects dropping bombs. | ||
| I mean, it's all in there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is it? | |
| Huge wars. | ||
| Russia and the Middle East. | ||
| Huge confrontations. | ||
| It's all being lined up. | ||
| You can't deny it. | ||
| The Soviet Union did. | ||
| That's what they called themselves. | ||
| In biblical times? | ||
| In biblical times. | ||
| And then Christ comes back at the Battle of Armageddon. | ||
| And then the dead in Christ are raised. | ||
| I mean, a five-year-old could read that, but you're so deceived. | ||
| Yes, that's true. | ||
| Because in the last hundred plus years, the World Council and National Council of Churches has globalized the Christian faith and come in and taught new dogmas that were not known in Christianity ever. | ||
| In the 40s, German Christians didn't resist Hitler and thought it was the end of the world. | ||
| They thought he was the Antichrist. | ||
| In the 2017s, American Christians didn't resist Hitler. | ||
| Hitler. | ||
| Listen, Christians get so mad at me. | ||
| I'm not saying your preacher's wrong if he teaches pre-tribulation rapture. | ||
| I'm not saying he's a false teacher. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, you are. | |
| I'm sure he knows more Bible verses than I do. | ||
| All I know is the whole Bible, Christians have to stand up, the Israelites had to stand up against evil and do the right thing on threat of death and many times get killed. | ||
| Why now do we get teleported up? | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| I mean, again, if you create imaginary arguments to argue against, your argument is probably right. | ||
| It's too weird for us to sit here and have him be like the post versus pre-tribulation rapture. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| What are we doing to unpack this and why? | ||
| Why are we doing this? | ||
| I don't think we're unpacking it. | ||
| I think what we're doing is it's important that our audience knows that he spends a lot of time on stuff like this. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because it is, like, there is way too much of a focus in the mainstream, I believe, the coverage of Alex Jones on, I mean, there are important issues, his hucksterism, his desperate salesmanship and what have you, his support of Trump, those sorts of things are important facets to him. | ||
| But his religion, which is not Christianity, is very important to the big picture of who he is as a broadcaster and as a propagandist. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's so weird that he does that on the show. | ||
| It's so weird. | ||
| Sunday show, man. | ||
| So weird. | ||
| It's the Sunday show. | ||
| So weird. | ||
| It's not that we're like, Alex believes in the post-trib, let's just fucking argue for the pre-trib for fun. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's more just like, let's let people hear this. | ||
| What? | ||
| Because it's fucking wild. | ||
| So now I do want you to argue for the pre-trib for fun. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Of course it happens before. | ||
| That was a lot of fun. | ||
| Moving on! | ||
| Why would God put the faithful through that? | ||
| That's horrifying. | ||
| That's a very dickish God. | ||
| Dude, well, why would God put anybody through anything? | ||
| Well, to make them stronger. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Anyway, we have one more clip here. | ||
| In this clip, I think we get the revelation that... | ||
| I got it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| No, don't worry. | ||
| This whole day's show. | ||
| You're going to give me that and not like Goat Giscard? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Come on, man. | |
| Goat Giscard was okay. | ||
| So I think that at the beginning of this clip we see where all of this comes from. | ||
| This day of just rambling about the revelation and tribulation and what have you. | ||
| I think it's because someone keeps bothering him. | ||
| And then he rambles on for a while about hypocrites or something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| I'm not on some high horse, but if I get lectured one more time by a Pharisee about me getting mad sometimes and using mild French, which I try not to do, but I'm so real, I do it occasionally. | ||
| I'm going to throw up. | ||
| I'm so real. | ||
| Get the beam out of your eye before you talk about the stick in my eye. | ||
| I'm ready to die for the unborn. | ||
| I'm ready to stand up against the globalist. | ||
| I'm nothing special, but I don't like evil. | ||
| I know my heart's right. | ||
| Where's yours? | ||
| Because I don't see the manifestation of resistance against tyranny. | ||
| I see people in a coma who want to go to church and look like they're all upright and good and at night we know what you're doing. | ||
| I almost want to go do bad stuff so I'm not with you all the fakes. | ||
| I'm racked by conscience. | ||
| I'm racked by trying to be the best person I can be. | ||
| And even having to study the globalists in a war game, they're evil. | ||
| I have to get in their mindset and I feel sinful even studying the enemy. | ||
| The knowledge of good and evil permeates all. | ||
| I just know that great evil is upon us, and it's only going to intensify for the decades coming forward. | ||
| It may be 50 years, 100 years out. | ||
| My gut tells me it's more like 10 years. | ||
| I mean, stuff is moving quick, folks, and it's scary. | ||
| But like Nineveh, we could get a reprieve. | ||
| God was going to judge Nineveh. | ||
| But because Jonah didn't want to go, Jonah didn't want to be a prophet, Jonah didn't want to go out and tell the truth, Jonah didn't want to get in people's faces, but because Jonah did it, the people listened, they got a hundred year reprieve. | ||
| Seems very arbitrary. | ||
| For the volcanoes and earthquakes that destroy that civilization, and archaeology shows it happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Archaeology shows it happened. | ||
| Archaeology does not prove that Jonah was in a whale. | ||
| Archaeology proved that God gave them a hundred year rest. | ||
| What's this in the fossil record? | ||
| There's a note here. | ||
| Call Larry Nichols? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What the fuck? | |
| The reason that this is important, I left this in because it's kind of rambly and nonsensical, but this is the beginning of a narrative that will become very important in his support of Trump. | ||
| So you could argue that this is a soft launch in some ways. | ||
| This idea of a reprieve, like Nineveh, he uses those specific languages about Trump, that Trump is that reprieve. | ||
| That is God giving us a chance to get out from under these globalists. | ||
| He further makes it more robust in his metaphor that what Trump is allowing us to do is get our head above water and take a breath before we have to go and fight this... | ||
| Shark, I guess. | ||
| I'm not entirely sure where it works in the metaphor. | ||
| But this is the first time that he has used that metaphor in the context of the globalists and what we're doing moving forward. | ||
| And he will co-opt it from this religious perspective on to Trump. | ||
| Turn it into a Trump thing. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| People's gods sure are weird. | ||
| They've got a lot of weird shit to do. | ||
| If they appreciate this, that is... | ||
| That's a God who's not paying attention. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's a God who's checked out. | ||
| That's a God who should become a policy wonk. | ||
| I'll tell you that right now. | ||
| That's a God who is not buying caveman. | ||
| That's where the traffic's coming from. | ||
| God doesn't have any dollars. | ||
| Ah, I got you. | ||
| He wants to listen. | ||
| God's got his own holy bot farm. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anyway, let's wrap this up, because that's the end of this. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But it's thrilling that we can get that admission from Alex that his traffic has gone up and no extra money. | ||
| He knows that RT is a propaganda outlet, and he spends an entire day on his show bickering about the revelation and various forms of the rapture. | ||
| And doing that whole game where he's like, hey, if you believe in a pre-tribulation, your preacher's not full of shit. | ||
| But also it's a globalist plot trying to pacify Christians. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| UNESCO was involved. | ||
| I'm not saying he's a bad guy. | ||
| He's just part of the globalist conspiracy to destroy all life on this planet. | ||
| At one point he says, they sound a lot like collaborators. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| Pick a side. | ||
| Pick a side of your bizarre nonsense. | ||
| God, I want to... | ||
| See, now I want him to quit. | ||
| Just quit broadcasting, Alex. | ||
| Write your own holy book. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You'll get a... | |
| Look, if fucking Joseph Smith can get a worldwide religion, fuck yeah, Alex Jonesianism? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Shit tons of people would do that shit. | ||
| Yeah, I just don't think he could write a coherent thread. | ||
| I think he'd need a ghostwriter. | ||
| He needs a ghostwriter. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alex, we are available. | ||

| Uh-huh. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| I just had a thought. | ||
| What thought? | ||
| So we know about one thing that Alex Jones believes in. | ||
| Or Alex Jones' dad believes in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| HIV denialism. | ||
| HIV denialism. | ||
| One other guy believes in that stuff. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| He's a guy who doesn't hang up pictures. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| He's an old guy. | ||
| What fucking person would believe and do both of those things? | ||
| I see no reason to not believe that John Rappaport is Alex Jones' dad. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| Now think about this. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| The teeth come into play. | ||
| No! | ||
| He's a dentist. | ||
| All right. | ||
| He's a dentist. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But he's bits of depression. | ||
| He's knocked out all of his teeth, and that's why he needs dentures. | ||
| No. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm going to go even further than that. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right? | ||
| Alex's dad died. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He needed a replacement daddy. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| Alex's dad wants to live forever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| How do you live forever? | ||
| You download your consciousness into some false teeth. | ||
| Race memory. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And then implant those teeth into John Rappaport. | ||
| Incisor memory. | ||
| That's probably what happened. | ||
| I think we've solved this mystery. | ||
| I think we've solved it. | ||
| So, Alex Jones's dad and John Rappaport, I invite you to go fuck yourself. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||
| Hello Alex, I'm a first time caller. | ||
|

I'm a huge fan. | |
| I love your work. |
