Today, Dan tells Jordan about the November 20th episode of The Alex Jones Show.  Alex has a lot of dumb ideas about Charles Manson's death and history, and he accidentally reveals that he has a whole lot in common with the recently deceased. Beyond that, he has a white nationalist South African on the show to be racist as shit.

Speaker Time Text
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
I'm a first-time caller.
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
alex jones
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey everybody, welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple dudes who like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Today we are drinking the novelty-est of beverages.
dan friesen
Correct.
jordan holmes
Old style.
dan friesen
Old style.
Because we need it, buddy.
jordan holmes
The Chicago favorite.
dan friesen
We need it.
Today is a weird day.
This is a podcast where I know a lot about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
I don't know anything about Alex Jones.
dan friesen
And that's our dynamic.
That's how we like to have fun.
jordan holmes
And clearly Dan has got some shit to say, because you ran through that bet real fast.
dan friesen
I want to talk about Survivor Series.
jordan holmes
Alright, I knew it.
I knew it!
God damn it!
dan friesen
No, I don't.
Not really.
I do kind of want to talk about it, but we already...
jordan holmes
Clearly, you spent the last five minutes telling me about it.
dan friesen
Yeah, I was venting a little bit.
jordan holmes
You know how a lot of people pre-show, a lot of shows have like, okay, here's what we're going to talk about today, here's what we're going to go through.
A nice little pre-production meeting?
dan friesen
Nope.
jordan holmes
Nah.
dan friesen
I'm like, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn got fucked.
It's pointless.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
Bunch of garbage.
unidentified
I hate it.
jordan holmes
This is why our eventual show on MSNBC will be cancelled immediately.
dan friesen
Right, just weird, vague reviews.
Trying not to give spoilers away about past wrestling pay-per-views.
jordan holmes
Fox News is going to have a field day because in the first five minutes of our TV show I'm going to be like, have we considered killing all white people?
dan friesen
Well, we're going to get to that later.
jordan holmes
And here is my plan for how to do it.
dan friesen
Jordan, you're going to love one of the things that comes up on today's show.
I believe it.
jordan holmes
I'm going to guess it has something to do with race war.
dan friesen
It does.
In a very interesting way.
Today we're going to be covering the November 20th, 2017 episode of The Alex Jones Show.
unidentified
That's today!
dan friesen
That's current as we're recording this.
And, you know, we...
There's trouble.
I don't know how else to put it.
jordan holmes
Every time we go back into the present, we get into trouble.
dan friesen
Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that I found incredibly shocking about today's episode.
unidentified
Oh boy.
dan friesen
And I make a prediction that you're going to be as mad as you've ever been.
jordan holmes
That is a hearty prediction, my friend.
dan friesen
And considering that it's already 8pm, I want to ask that you...
jordan holmes
Among the almost year that we've been doing this podcast...
I think I've got some high points as far as anger goes.
dan friesen
There's some infuriating stuff in here, especially once we get into what the reality of what they're talking about is.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
But I just ask you, in courtesy to my neighbors, try and contain yourself.
jordan holmes
Okay, I'll do my best.
Recently, my anger has been very cold.
I've just been reserved and furious.
dan friesen
That's not true.
jordan holmes
Do you disagree?
dan friesen
Yes, I disagree.
jordan holmes
For me, I feel like that's true.
dan friesen
I've edited these episodes.
I know exactly how much you've been yelling.
jordan holmes
I have a hard time listening to them now.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's fair.
So the episode, I think, is going to be trouble.
And so to start things off, I have an out-of-context drop that is delightful.
jordan holmes
You're so protective of me.
dan friesen
I try.
jordan holmes
Is it just this song?
unidentified
We're going to do what they say can't be done We've got a long way to go And a short time to get there Time to be kind of like a man to drum I love this song.
dan friesen
He's not wrong.
jordan holmes
Finally, we agree on something.
Finally, me and Alex can really come together.
dan friesen
That's pretty delightful, coming out of break.
Just eastbound and down.
I love it.
Ah, such a human moment.
jordan holmes
We begin with something that is filled with love, and I assume we are going to only descend from that high point into hell.
dan friesen
Yes, indeed.
jordan holmes
In a very Dante-esque nightmare.
dan friesen
I will tell you this, ahead of the show, I actually spoiled this in a text message between you and I earlier today.
A lot of the show...
That Alex put on today was in reaction to the death of Charles Manson.
jordan holmes
That's why I said I'm sure it has something to do with race war.
dan friesen
Yes, but that's not actually the biggest part of the race war stuff.
jordan holmes
How is Charles Manson not the biggest part of the race war stuff?
I had a stretch where I was actually very interested in the whole Charles Manson thing, and boy howdy!
He was really afraid of black people.
dan friesen
So, that's good that you have a lot of awareness.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And knowledge about Charles Manson.
unidentified
Is it?
dan friesen
Well, for this episode, yes.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Because I have a good sense of him, but I will be the first to admit that I've never done a deep dive on him.
I have just read a couple books and seen some documentaries and stuff.
jordan holmes
That's more of a deep dive than most human beings will ever do.
dan friesen
Right, but I imagine you have more expertise and thankfully that is the case because...
Alex has a narrative.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
And let's start...
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
Let's start with how he wants to get things going, how he's going to present the death of Charles Manson.
jordan holmes
I'm already angry.
alex jones
I'm Alex Jones.
Thank you for joining us on this Monday, the 20th day of November.
dan friesen
Also, the music that's playing is the cover of Helter Skelter.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Which is a little bit...
jordan holmes
I'm guessing he couldn't get the rights to Helter Skelter on this one.
dan friesen
Interesting.
alex jones
Well, Charlie Manson of Helter Skelter is deader to doornail.
unidentified
health is capital cult Also, spoiler alert, guys.
dan friesen
I don't like to brag, but I have 100%ed the drums on Helter Skelter, on Expert, on Rock Band Beatles.
I don't mean to brag.
And as that came out of my mouth, I realized that's a lie.
jordan holmes
So, in fact, actually, you were telling the truth.
You don't mean to brag.
Clearly, you did the opposite of that.
dan friesen
I got gold stars on it.
I didn't 100% it.
jordan holmes
I got you.
dan friesen
the interest of honesty and because the person I was playing with is in the chat room.
alex jones
Leader, murderer Charles Manson dies at 83. Now back then, it was really weird and crazy to have somebody on PCP and LSD running around Still is.
Killing beauty queens.
dan friesen
Definitely still is.
alex jones
And coffee baronesses.
It was a big, big deal.
It was shocking.
But nowadays, everybody's crazy.
dan friesen
That is a Charles Manson quote paraphrased.
alex jones
This is the godfather of the Antifa movement.
unidentified
What?
alex jones
This is the godfather of the modern environmental movement.
This is a man that wanted 90%.
of the world's population to be exterminated by a world government and a man who wanted to ignite the breakdown of civilization by causing race war playing different ethnic and religious groups off against each other around the world in a divide and conquer strategy.
The truth is Charlie Manson was inducted into a higher level CIA DARPA mind control program and inserted into the highest levels of rock and roll.
Movies, he knew all the major folks.
Co-wrote songs for the Beach Boys.
The list goes on and on.
He was delivering large amounts of pure weapon's grade LSD to campuses all over California.
dan friesen
He was selling drugs.
alex jones
Then the wind-up toy either went off the rails or was ordered to carry out the murders.
We don't know still to this day.
He was CIA.
dan friesen
100%.
What is your immediate reaction to that?
jordan holmes
I think I made that clear.
I think my immediate reaction came immediately and was very obvious.
dan friesen
Was not in favor, I'm guessing.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Alright, one.
He did not try and cause a race war.
He was paranoid and terrified of the race war.
He assumed that it was going to come.
And one of the main things that he did was he used that paranoia to control the people inside of his cult.
He wouldn't allow them to escape.
He wouldn't allow them to go anywhere by stoking their fears that they would be killed if they went elsewhere.
The other thing that he did was not co-write any of the Beach Boys songs.
However...
dan friesen
He hung out with them.
jordan holmes
He hung out with one of the Beach Boys.
Who was crazy.
Did not hang out with all of the Beach Boys.
The rest of the Beach Boys fucking thought he was a lunatic.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And probably had to do with why they ended up breaking up.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
One of the reasons, however, that he hung out with one of the Beach Boys was not because they were friends of any sort.
It was because sex.
It was sex?
Yeah.
dan friesen
I thought it was drugs.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
dan friesen
Sex is a drug for some people.
I just want to be right.
jordan holmes
No, so what's this fuck?
I don't remember which Beach Boy it was.
dan friesen
Brian Wilson.
jordan holmes
It was not Brian Wilson.
dan friesen
David Wilson.
jordan holmes
It was not Brian Wilson.
It was David Wilson.
dan friesen
David Jones.
jordan holmes
It was not David Jones.
dan friesen
Alex's dad.
jordan holmes
It was Alex's dad.
dan friesen
I don't remember the names of the rest of the Beach Boys.
jordan holmes
No, so it was basically David Wilson just hung out at the place because Charles Manson...
He threw women at him.
Underage women, in case you were wondering.
dan friesen
I wonder if Alex wants to talk about that.
jordan holmes
I don't think he does.
unidentified
He doesn't.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no.
It was a sex cult for David Wilson, and he did that.
Part of the reason that he had the cult was just so he could get more people for David Wilson to have sex with so David would still hang out with him.
dan friesen
We're getting a correction from the chat room.
It was Stamos.
jordan holmes
John Stamos?
dan friesen
Yeah.
He's doing it with the Beach Boys.
jordan holmes
I know!
I'm still very angry.
dan friesen
The point that I want to make, putting aside all of the factual inaccuracies.
jordan holmes
Which is all of them.
dan friesen
The interesting thing that I run into all the time is the length that Alex will go to excuse white violence.
It's astounding to me that every time that there's a white person, it has to be some sort of a CIA operation gone wrong or something like that.
It's never that they...
It's always someone else's fault.
Dennis Wilson, not David Wilson.
jordan holmes
Who cares?
dan friesen
David Wilson was a guy who ran a film festival in my hometown and was not involved with Charles Manson.
jordan holmes
You're right.
That's right.
That's right.
Dennis.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Fuck Dennis.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
He was a piece of shit.
dan friesen
He was a menace.
unidentified
Brian...
We're off to a bad start.
dan friesen
His old style's getting good to me.
jordan holmes
I'm furious and you're doing that.
Whatever that was, you gotta stop it.
dan friesen
I think what's going on is I know that this episode's gonna make you so mad that I'm kind of like...
jordan holmes
You're trying to preemptively toss in the bits?
dan friesen
No, I'm just trying to be like...
I'm almost trolling at this point.
It's almost just like, I'm gonna have my fun.
jordan holmes
Right.
unidentified
I gotcha.
jordan holmes
I gotcha.
That's fine.
I will try and play off of that end.
dan friesen
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm getting a correction.
It's Owen Wilson.
jordan holmes
That actually sounds right.
dan friesen
It was Drillbit Taylor.
jordan holmes
Luke would never have been involved with that.
dan friesen
Absolutely not.
jordan holmes
Luke actually wrote all of the best songs on Pet Sounds.
dan friesen
That's true.
jordan holmes
Very strange truth.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And Future Man.
Andrew Wilson.
That was his name.
Andrew Wilson, who played Future Man in Bottle Rocket.
jordan holmes
And, of course, the best character in any film in history.
dan friesen
Future Man.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Oh.
unidentified
Hmm.
jordan holmes
A volleyball.
dan friesen
Oh.
jordan holmes
From Castaway.
dan friesen
I get it.
jordan holmes
Wilson Wilson.
dan friesen
I get it.
I just want to talk more about Future Man.
jordan holmes
I don't actually know what Future Man is.
unidentified
Which one is that?
dan friesen
He was the guy who they lived with in Bottle Rocket when they were trying to plan the big robbery.
unidentified
Oh!
jordan holmes
I'm not going to lie to you.
Never saw Bottle Rocket.
dan friesen
Owen Wilson has a yellow jumpsuit on, and Future Man pulls up in a Jeep, and he makes fun of him.
He's like, look at this guy.
He looks like a little banana.
To this day, one of the funniest lines.
Because afterwards, after he drives away, Owen Wilson's like, Future Man's so cool.
Anyway, enough Bottle Rocket talk.
jordan holmes
Quick question.
I love Bottle Rocket.
Okay.
dan friesen
Probably Wes Anderson's best movie.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
Don't fucking come at me, chat room.
jordan holmes
Alright.
That's going on the list of things Dan finds reasonable.
dan friesen
I think Bottle Rocket is very reasonable.
Let's move along.
Enough of this Wilson riff.
Let's get down to this.
Alex wants to talk about the 60s.
jordan holmes
I'm sure he has got his finger on the pulse of the 60s.
dan friesen
He wants to talk about the environment the people were living in in the 60s and what was taboo and what have you.
And it's devil worship.
jordan holmes
Nothing I love more than a guy who grew up in the 70s telling me what happened in the 60s.
dan friesen
This is about devil worship and it goes off the rails pretty fast.
alex jones
What was big and bad and evil in the 1960s to the Puritan America?
Devil worship.
But if you could get people to worship the devil, to have sex with super hot movie stars, while next it was, we need you to kill somebody.
And that's what Charlie Manson was about.
He was one MKUltra tentacle that went sideways.
And they used it to create the whole new popular culture where it's so cool to be whacked out of your brain a shaman who knows everything and can do everything and has got your cult of trendies that go from being hippies to being cold-blooded murderers.
That's always what it is.
First they get your peace and love and nirvana and you can do anything and all of a sudden, but there's a price to pay.
There's always a Dracula.
In the shadow.
jordan holmes
So, hold on one second.
dan friesen
We got a couple of problems.
jordan holmes
Is he saying that Charles Manson was used to incite the 60s to violence?
Because as the narrative goes, literally, for everyone else...
Charles Manson was the end of the 60s.
Yeah.
Charles Manson was the story where everybody goes, oh, the flower child bullshit is over.
We gotta figure shit out.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, to a great extent, because that was like 69, right?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
And then everything that happened at the beginning of the 70s was kind of trash.
jordan holmes
Yeah, Ken Kesey's eulogy for the 60s heavily features Charles Manson.
dan friesen
Yeah, well, I think Alex's conception, as best I can tell from having listened to all of it, And the connective tissue that's not really in a lot of these clips, because it's boring, is that he believed that Charles Manson was a guy who was a bag man, he was a drug guy, and he was trying to get people into drugs and then compromise them into devil worship.
But not even the family.
He's not even talking about the family.
He's talking about, like, he says specifically there's one Charles Manson at every campus around America, and Charles Manson was just the one that went wrong.
He went off the reservation, and Alex will explain what that means in a little bit.
You have a question?
I see you raising your hand.
I have time for one question.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
No follow-ups.
jordan holmes
At University of Missouri, who is your Charles Manson?
dan friesen
I think it was this guy named Gabe.
jordan holmes
He was real weird.
Gabe Wilson, yeah.
dan friesen
He was real weird.
He would walk around with a big effigy of George Bush bleeding.
He was strange.
jordan holmes
You know what?
I'm going to go with that's fine.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I don't think he had a cult, though, did he?
dan friesen
No, no.
jordan holmes
Generally, people on that side of things don't...
You've got to start low.
dan friesen
He did have a Students for Action group or something like that.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
So he did have a following.
jordan holmes
Well, then you know he fucked.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
On that picture of George Bush bleeding.
dan friesen
Oh, no, it was not a picture.
Effigy.
It was like a giant...
jordan holmes
It was an effigy.
dan friesen
It was a giant puppet.
jordan holmes
Oh, well, then he just had sex with the effigy.
That's clear.
dan friesen
It's entirely possible.
jordan holmes
That's entirely true.
dan friesen
So in this next clip, while discussing all this devil worship in the 60s, Alex accidentally makes a...
Bit of a confession about what his version of Christianity is.
jordan holmes
Oh boy.
dan friesen
And what he looks to.
And let's see.
alex jones
The whole revolution you're seeing is French Revolution Part 2. They saw we were launching ours in 1776 for the real.
dan friesen
The real.
alex jones
New Atlantis.
jordan holmes
No.
alex jones
For Sir Francis Bacon.
The real Rosicrucian order.
Esoteric Christianity.
jordan holmes
Oh.
alex jones
And they created their counterfeit, which is just every flavor of rebellion, death, degradation, and it's all about psychopathic men being able to have women and others programmed and under their control to do horrible things.
unidentified
Think about exactly that!
jordan holmes
You're a psychopathic man who is obsessed with subjugating women!
dan friesen
Oh, yeah, and I also wanted to say, at the end of that last clip, we kind of got off track, but he's saying that, you know, Charles Manson, there's always a Dracula in the background or whatever.
Like, fucking look at David Koresh, you dumbass.
Like, he...
Based his career, he started his career building a new church at the site of the Branch Davidians.
And loves Waco.
Loves David Koresh.
All that shit.
jordan holmes
This is where you find out something weird about me.
Huge David Koresh fan.
dan friesen
Interesting.
jordan holmes
Huge David Koresh fan.
I love the way his name is David Koresh.
Love the way he was Jesus.
Reincarnated.
That's true.
Everybody knows that.
Yeah.
Strangely enough, I'm fine with everything he did.
dan friesen
Cool.
Moving along.
jordan holmes
Not true.
dan friesen
Of course not.
jordan holmes
Not true.
dan friesen
But Alex is very apologetic about David Karash.
He's like, hey, if you...
jordan holmes
You can't.
dan friesen
He is.
jordan holmes
You can't.
dan friesen
He is.
jordan holmes
You can't be.
dan friesen
He is.
jordan holmes
That's not a thing you can be.
dan friesen
It's tough.
But anyway, he's into esoteric Christianity.
jordan holmes
I do like the degree of difficulty on that, though.
You got, like, okay.
It's like in the Olympics.
You know, anybody can do a straight dive, make it look pretty good.
Your degree of difficulty score, way down.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
If you can defend David Koresh, your degree of difficulty is way up there.
You already start a little ahead.
Yeah, even if you fail, you've still got bonus points starting off.
dan friesen
There's no doubt about that, but at the same time, he does not nail the landing.
jordan holmes
No, of course not.
dan friesen
It's a disaster.
jordan holmes
He belly flops and explodes.
The entire pool just explodes around him.
dan friesen
He just goes on and on about how, like, Janet Reno killed him.
jordan holmes
Janet Reno did kill him.
He's not wrong.
dan friesen
Right, but that's not the most important piece.
jordan holmes
That's not the most important David Koresh information.
dan friesen
So, esoteric Christianity, though.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
Have you done any research into esoteric Christianity?
jordan holmes
I have not done any research into...
dan friesen
My theories about Gnosticism are pretty close to right.
jordan holmes
He's not talking about Thomas Jefferson's version of Christianity, right?
dan friesen
He might be.
He calls Thomas Jefferson a classical liberal, and he calls himself a classical liberal all the time.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but Thomas Jefferson's version of Christianity is so logical.
dan friesen
No, so that's not this.
jordan holmes
He removed all of the pretend parts of the Bible.
dan friesen
Oh, no, no.
He's not talking about that.
jordan holmes
That Jesus guy, he said some cool shit.
Those miracles?
unidentified
Bullshit.
dan friesen
He's not talking about the Gospel of Thomas or something like that, where it's just all the miracles not there.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Yeah, all that shit.
Just the sayings and stuff.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
No, no, no.
jordan holmes
He's talking about chimeras.
Right.
dan friesen
If you look into most versions of esoteric Christianity, a lot of the interpretations...
This is just one of my favorite pieces.
Most of the interpretations of it are like, don't come.
That's what a lot of it boils down to.
It's like the tree of wisdom of good and evil is an orgasm.
The fruit of the tree of good and evil is an orgasm.
And so you should never come.
jordan holmes
It's so weird how all religions are obsessed with sex.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So obsessed with controlling and regulating sex.
dan friesen
Because it's such a powerful force.
jordan holmes
Right.
Well, and it's not a bad idea.
Like, if you're trying to get people to channel all of that...
dan friesen
It's why you so frequently see con men with food stuff.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Because it is another base urge that you have.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
If you get someone to control that through your system, then you're way more likely to control them.
jordan holmes
Well, and the other thing is, if everybody's getting laid all the time, nobody's going to work as hard, you know?
You got a lot of needs satisfied.
You're just going to kind of chill out.
Whereas if everybody is repressed and sexual, you're going to build the Sistine Chapel.
It's that kind of bullshit.
dan friesen
Sure.
Sublimation of sexual energy.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
And that's why the aliens built the pyramids.
dan friesen
Indeed.
So Alex Jones is into esoteric Christianity, which is weird as shit.
But at least we finally have an admission that it's not real Christianity.
No, of course not.
Not mainline Christianity.
jordan holmes
I think we all knew about that.
Not even biblical Christianity.
dan friesen
But it's nice to hear it from his mouth.
And that means straight up, he might believe in the lost books of the Bible and forgotten books of Eden.
He might be into the Apocrypha, the Pseudepigrapha.
He might be into all of these...
Banished books.
jordan holmes
There's some good shit in the Apocrypha.
The Apocrypha is...
No, and I'm not talking about any kind of logic or reason or even good deeds.
dan friesen
Just decent books.
jordan holmes
They're great comic books.
Totally.
If you had an illuminated text of Jesus fighting dragons and murdering kids when he was a kid, that's some good shit.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
jordan holmes
I would definitely read that.
dan friesen
Like I said, I just like to hear it out of his mouth, and I'm excited about that.
Now let's go back to Manson.
alex jones
No.
dan friesen
So, you know...
Manson killed Sharon Tate.
Do you know that?
jordan holmes
Yeah, I heard.
dan friesen
Alex knows that too.
jordan holmes
Wait, what?
dan friesen
And that's where our information diverges.
jordan holmes
That'd be funny if I was like, I spent a long time researching Manson.
Wait, he did what?
dan friesen
Holy shit.
jordan holmes
Are you shitting me?
This guy was a murderer?
dan friesen
I take back everything.
So those are probably the only thing we're going to agree with him in in this next clip.
Because he has sort of an alternate explanation.
jordan holmes
Also, he got the French Revolution wrong.
alex jones
The Jacobins.
jordan holmes
He got the American Revolution wrong.
He got all of the revolutions wrong.
dan friesen
No, it was about esoteric Christianity, baby.
jordan holmes
That could be.
dan friesen
All right, so here we go.
Let's talk Tate.
Talking Tate.
That's our new podcast.
jordan holmes
Talking Tate.
With Dan and George.
alex jones
Boy, Charlie Manson was jealous of the cult above him.
He was getting kicked out of that cult.
They weren't being nice to him anymore.
So what did he do?
He went and killed their high priestess.
He told people he did, too.
He went and killed their goddess.
He went and killed who they thought was the number one woman in the Hollywood cult of Roman Polanski and others.
While he was out of town, they killed her and they killed his baby.
They showed him what would happen if Charlie Manson didn't get to stay in the cult.
Charlie Manson created a list of people that weren't partying with him anymore and weren't, you know, buying his LSD anymore.
And he went in there and he killed him.
And that, my friends, is the rest of the story of Charlie Little Man Manson.
jordan holmes
Is that where it ends?
dan friesen
Alex thinks he's Garrison Keillor.
unidentified
Is that where it ends?
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
That was it!
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Also, I like how he just takes Manson's word for it.
He told people, so of course Manson was telling the truth.
dan friesen
But I think that's probably in reference to things that he did say about, like, wanting to kill a celebrity because there'd be more attention and she was a huge movie star.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, that sort of thing.
It's not like she's the goddess of an Illuminati cult or something like that.
He keeps saying that, like, at this point...
Charles Manson is a Renfield, but he wants to be a Dracula.
So he acts like a Dracula and kills their high priestess.
And it's like, okay.
jordan holmes
Well, then doesn't he meet all the requirements of being a Dracula?
dan friesen
And that's why he went in prison for the rest of his life.
And never said any of this stuff.
jordan holmes
It's like, no.
He was a paranoid, coke-addled fame whore who just wanted people to like him.
Right.
Inexplicably, that was how he chose to do it.
Like, he was such an insane person, and at the same time, his motivations are so understandable.
If you just get into where it was that he came from.
You know what I'm saying?
dan friesen
Are you saying that he's reasonable?
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Just checking.
Just checking for our records.
jordan holmes
Well, it's like how serial killers...
So many times you find out serial killers were raped as children repeatedly and they've been destroyed.
dan friesen
And you have Manson's history of...
Boarding houses and shit like that and going to prison as a kid.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he was definitely sexually abused from the jump, man.
He was fucked up to start with.
Also, like 5 '4".
Very short man.
dan friesen
That's no good.
jordan holmes
Such a short, short man.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's bad.
jordan holmes
Super weird.
dan friesen
Those people...
I mean, I know this guy, Randy.
He told me they have no reason to live.
jordan holmes
Randy Paul?
dan friesen
Randy Newman.
unidentified
Short people got no one.
dan friesen
All right.
Boy, let's move it along.
So in this next clip, Alex discusses how these drugs are too strong.
He's saying that there's like marijuanas that are going around that are hallucinogenic.
jordan holmes
Did you just say marijuanas?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Does he say marijuanas?
dan friesen
More or less.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but you said marijuanas.
dan friesen
I might have been putting a little English on it.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
I might have been trying to get fancy.
jordan holmes
Got a little spin?
Got a little draw on that?
dan friesen
Might have been.
So he talks about that and then talks about psychotropic drugs, medicinals, and then he gets sidetracked in a weird...
Deconstruction of his own voice, kind of.
It's very strange.
It'll make sense in a minute.
jordan holmes
Let's get in.
alex jones
This is a very, very serious situation and is part of a larger operation to put you into a near dream state so that you're not really conscious.
Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily.
Life is but a dream.
If I wanted to come on this show.
And talk to you like they do on NPR to put you into a trance.
I could do it.
But on purpose, I have a grating voice to get you out of your coma, to shake you free out of it.
jordan holmes
So you're revealing that your voice is bullshit?
alex jones
If I wanted to, I could talk just as sweet and just as pretty as all these fake people, but I don't do that.
jordan holmes
Are you trying to now?
alex jones
I'll let you hear my real voice.
And it's everything they hate.
It's masculine.
It's grating.
It's like an alarm in the night.
It's like a Marine Corps drill sergeant!
But I'm not copying a Marine Corps drill sergeant.
Drill sergeants are trying to encompass the classic status of a male instructing people in serious, dangerous things that affect their life so people listen!
So they understand what's going on!
So you've been warned!
So if you've got what it takes, you'll listen.
If you don't, you were warned.
We did our job.
jordan holmes
And we'll be back in just about five minutes.
unidentified
We are going to play you some very lovely music right now.
dan friesen
And that is how the glory!
So I don't actually have any...
That's stupid.
Alex just gets lost in his own bullshit.
I enjoy that.
jordan holmes
That's bananas.
dan friesen
At the end of the show, Matt Dubier from the quote-unquote Chicago affiliate is supposed to host the fourth hour.
But I think Alex doesn't trust him to host.
jordan holmes
Because of course not.
dan friesen
So he cuts into the time and just rambles about how the globalists...
Aren't having kids because they don't want kids down in their underground arcs and stuff like that.
It's too nonsensical, but it's...
I wanted to bring it up.
jordan holmes
That sounds fun.
That sounds more fun than what we're about to talk about, I'm assuming.
dan friesen
Because we're going back to Manson.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
You know what?
jordan holmes
I'm going to be honest with you.
I'm actually kind of interested in...
I'm actually very fascinated in what his take already is on Manson and how it's going to go from here.
Because, again, that was like...
I'm a huge nerd about certain types of things like that.
So it's going to be fun.
dan friesen
And let me be perfectly clear.
This isn't the stuff I expected you to yell about.
That's later.
jordan holmes
God damn you.
dan friesen
The Manson stuff I figured we'd be frustrated by, but also at the same time, like, what a dick.
In this next clip, Alex makes his narrative about Charles Manson a bit more robust.
He starts to try and deal with the idea that Charles Manson had environmental leanings.
And he basically says that he was a globalist.
jordan holmes
Well, he already called him a CIA agent, so he's got to be part of the globalist empire.
dan friesen
He's basically saying that he's a proto-globalist.
jordan holmes
And also a proto-Antifa.
dan friesen
Well, he's the grandfather of Antifa.
jordan holmes
He's the grandfather of Antifa.
dan friesen
Yes, absolutely.
And that he had first-hand knowledge of globalist plans.
jordan holmes
That doesn't sound right.
dan friesen
No.
alex jones
Charlie Manson is only just one guy.
They put into things, and he wrote not just one, but several songs with the Beach Boys and other bands, and he got to know the main Hollywood crew.
He got to learn, not just from the CIA and the drugs he was being given, but from all the different cults in Hollywood, how things ran and who really ran the world and what the plan was.
So when you hear a guy that probably took LSD over a thousand times...
Looking completely insane, looking like across from a homeless person and a guru, gibbering all this.
You say, where does he get it?
He got it directly from their battle plan.
dan friesen
So, go ahead.
alex jones
Mm-hmm.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
Yeah, I'm listening.
jordan holmes
If true, troubling.
dan friesen
Well.
jordan holmes
If not true, which it is not, the globalists have an incredibly bad plan.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
His fear of what the world was going to be.
Yes, he thought 90% of people were going to die in a race war.
Which, by the way, his fears of stuff are...
I actually recently watched In Bruges.
There's a part where the dwarf or little person...
dan friesen
Dinklage?
jordan holmes
No, it wasn't Dinklage.
unidentified
Wow.
jordan holmes
I thought it was Dinklage at first.
dan friesen
I'm just guessing.
I've never seen it.
jordan holmes
No, it might as well be.
dan friesen
It's a movie?
It's a little person?
Gotta be Dinklage.
jordan holmes
Right, you would think.
But he has a cocaine binge where he explains how there's going to be a race war, and that's based off of Manson's ideas.
dan friesen
Well, there's a bunch of Charlie Pride songs, too.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
There's a lot of neo-Nazi shit about how there's going to be a race war.
jordan holmes
But the point being...
No.
That's a dumb, dumb, dumb thing to think.
dan friesen
But it's not even the race war part.
It's also Alex talking about the idea of climate change and saving the environment.
It's all of those things that seem incongruous.
jordan holmes
That would have been a tertiary result of that plan were it to actually go around.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
You kill 90% of the people on the planet, I'm going to tell you this, climate's going to improve.
So in some ways...
I do respect Charlie Manson's plans.
dan friesen
Don't call him Charlie.
jordan holmes
How can you not?
Now that we're all so familiar with him.
dan friesen
Also, here we go.
This next clip lays out what I mean.
It's not just the race war stuff.
This is what Alex is talking about.
alex jones
They had Charlie Manson types who were the gurus over the universities in every city.
And again, that was somebody if things went wrong could be destroyed.
And the reason I mention all that is coming up in the next segment, I'm going to play a bunch of clips of Charlie Manson, and you're going to go, wait a minute, this is everything the Democrats and Al Gore and Antifa and George Soros says.
dan friesen
Now, this plan backfires.
jordan holmes
Is it?
dan friesen
This plan backfires when Alex starts playing some clips.
unidentified
Yeah.
And they kind of sound more like him.
dan friesen
And he doesn't address that at all, but we will.
jordan holmes
I would imagine not.
I would imagine not.
dan friesen
We'll address that here in a second.
But in the meantime, Alex starts talking about globalists and just sort of generally discussing what they are about and, you know, spreading some fears.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
And I have some thoughts on the other side.
alex jones
And that's what we're dealing with, folks, is a bunch of pedophile devil worshippers today because now it's not sick enough to just, you know, have sex with hot chicks on altars.
That's just the entryway into it.
It gets much worse, the blood drinking.
But that's not enough.
You've got to ship out factor VIII to millions of people with HIV and hepatitis in it and give it to everybody.
And you've got to legalize giving blood if you've got HIV in California to spread that.
That's human sacrifice.
And you've got to sexualize children at a young age.
You've got to give them fluoride.
And you've got to give them Prozac.
You've got to give them Ritalin.
And you've got to bombard them with GMO.
You've got to slowly sacrifice the whole planet!
dan friesen
So, that's the globalists.
jordan holmes
You know who's sexualizing children at a young age these days?
dan friesen
Roy Moore?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Well, and not just that, but the entire homeschooled evangelical community.
Like, one of the big things that they do is they create these child marriages in order to, once again, subjugate women.
Uh-huh.
And in order for, like, that way your father has complete control over your future, and the weirdest thing about it- The purity balls and shit?
Yeah, the weirdest thing about it is that you're betrothed.
You're supposed to be betrothed like that, and married at, like, 15. But before you actually move in with your husband, your dad is supposed to teach you for a few years what your duties are.
Like, it's batshit insane out there.
There are a bunch of dudes who go around and give these talks at evangelical meetings and conferences that are all vaguely like, you know, this is what women are supposed to do.
And then later on, people are like, wait, are you talking about 14-year-olds?
And they stop getting invited as much.
dan friesen
It's very uncomfortable.
jordan holmes
It's not good.
dan friesen
More what I wanted to bring up is that what he's talking about there, drinking blood, the globalists are drinking blood.
That's the blood libel.
That's anti-Semitism.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but you know what?
Where are they getting it?
dan friesen
From the children.
jordan holmes
You know, if they're just getting it from, like, blood vans, I think I'm fine with that.
dan friesen
They're not doing that.
Oh, okay.
But that's classical anti-Semitism.
That's blood libel.
That's all that is.
All of these fears.
Trace back for a few millennia.
Yeah, back to about 1,100 or so.
And it's pathetic.
And the fact that people don't see through that is troubling.
And it's true.
jordan holmes
It is true.
dan friesen
It's troubling and true.
So in this next clip, Alex wants you to not be afraid.
jordan holmes
Oh, good, because he's been stoking my fears for a while now.
dan friesen
You spoke too soon.
He wants you to not be afraid of the fluoride in the water much anymore.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's good!
Because it's at a low enough level.
Although we have found in China there are levels of fluoride that are perhaps damaging.
Not in America, though.
dan friesen
Unless you live in Flint.
He's been spreading the word, and so the globalists know that people know.
And so now there's a new fear.
alex jones
They've got studies out on what you can do with these systems.
Birds will just fall out of trees and won't care if ants eat them.
They can make you just go to sleep.
Flip the switch.
Everybody just, whoa, lies down.
You don't think the Pentagon doesn't want those type of weapons?
And you don't think the globalists that put fluoride in the water and all the rest of the stuff to hurt us wouldn't use that?
They know we know about fluoride now and the adjuvants in the water.
And they're moving away from that program because they know most of you are filtering your water.
And they're going to electromagnetic.
jordan holmes
Is he going to pivot?
alex jones
Just like Dr. Nick Begich just said, we should get back on the show very, very soon.
He said, forget the chemicals, Alex.
That's the child's play.
Because they have to, you know, get into your body.
They're going with 5G technology.
dan friesen
So this is Hamamoto shit.
jordan holmes
So we're going on full cell phones are going to kill you.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Gotcha.
dan friesen
And Dr. Group has been doing a good job of trying to spin these narratives on the show lately.
jordan holmes
I don't like the way you said that.
dan friesen
Dr. Hamamoto, my favorite crazy.
jordan holmes
Yes, your favorite crazy.
dan friesen
He has spouted a lot of this shit.
And Alex brings up Hamamoto's source as well.
Dr. Nick Begich, who we've gone over, is not a doctor.
jordan holmes
And Dr. Hamamoto has a lot of those classic traits that he was describing about universe.
University gurus and the like.
dan friesen
A little bit.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
A little bit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But Nick Bagich is not a doctor.
He has his degree.
jordan holmes
Dr. Nick Bagich isn't a doctor?
dan friesen
He has a fake degree from a Sri Lankan university.
jordan holmes
It is fake.
dan friesen
It is a fake diploma mill.
jordan holmes
There we go.
dan friesen
He's just making up all this shit about electromagnetic waves and what have you.
It's just complete pseudoscience woo shit.
jordan holmes
I was thinking about becoming a substitute teacher.
Do you think I could get one of those Sri Lankan degrees?
dan friesen
Totally.
I'll write you up one.
jordan holmes
Oh, sweet.
Could you draw it in crayon, too?
dan friesen
I have.
A fucking diploma mill that I run.
How do you think I pay rent?
Yeah.
This show's not making enough money.
jordan holmes
See, now, I was a big fan of your cryptocurrency, DanCoin.
dan friesen
DanCoin.
jordan holmes
But if you got a diploma mill, I like, one, that you're expanding your revenue streams.
That's always important to do.
dan friesen
They're called Danplomas.
Totally accredited.
jordan holmes
That's like four different puns you've made already.
dan friesen
I'm in a weird mood.
jordan holmes
Your pun ratio is high today.
unidentified
I think I'm just trying to prepare you for what's to come.
jordan holmes
God damn it, Dan.
dan friesen
It's not good.
jordan holmes
Why are you doing this to me?
dan friesen
This guy who comes on his show later is deeply troubling.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
And we'll get to it in a minute.
But before we do, it turns out there's big news in terms of the world and how we're all going to be...
jordan holmes
You know, one of the big problems I have with his hatred of the theoretical university gurus in the 60s was that, generally speaking, all of them, all of them were trying their best to react to what they saw as the 50s and the way that the Eisenhower era destroyed women.
Like, that's exactly what they were going for.
Unfortunately, a lot of them continued that in a different direction.
But one of the big things that they were trying to do was create a more expansive society and allow people to open up their minds in the same way that Ken Kesey and the electric Kool-Aid acid test would go around and do that.
And it's frustrating to me that you would malign them for the wrong reasons.
Like, they are deserving of much malignment for many...
dan friesen
I think to a certain extent what you look at is like a macro version of someone who's going through therapy.
Something like that.
Let's say that you are really buttoned up and never speak your mind.
And you get therapy about speaking up for yourself and being assertive and all that.
And on the way to health.
You will probably scream at somebody.
You'll probably, on the path to getting better, you'll do something wrong.
Or you'll go too far.
And perhaps the 60s, in response to the 50s, the therapy of getting people help and trying to fix the woes of society, you end up metaphorically screaming at somebody.
jordan holmes
And one of the biggest...
One of the biggest influences of so many of those gurus was the burgeoning therapeutic community at the time.
Again, I'm going to bring up Ken Kesey because he's one of the great chroniclers of why it was that the 60s all went wrong.
And his disillusionment when the 70s rolled around after he did Time in Mexico.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
All of that stuff was very fascinating in that he did start to kind of deconstruct how many of those therapists were basing themselves off of false science.
I'm assuming the chat room is going wild for Celine.
Yeah, I'm liking that.
dan friesen
Don't mention it.
She just wants attention.
jordan holmes
But, I mean, it is something that comes out of that.
And the way that he's...
Portraying these people is so wrong.
Because they did so many wrong things.
And if you're doing...
And he's missing the point because the things that they did wrong are the things that he supports himself.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Whereas he's creating this false reality...
Bye, Celine.
What an asshole.
She's just making a drop-in cameo.
That's what Celine is doing today.
dan friesen
She's the best.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
dan friesen
The worst and the best simultaneously.
jordan holmes
No, it's...
I don't know.
I don't know how far to go in why it is that Charlie Manson...
Now I'm doing it all the time.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
Repetitively.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I know.
Charles Manson...
You could make a lot of arguments that Charles Manson was an offshoot of the worst tendencies of the 60s.
At the same time, you could make a lot of arguments that serial killer's gonna serial kill.
dan friesen
Right.
Yeah, they're gonna happen in any era.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And just the particular details of them are what are circumstantial to the era.
jordan holmes
Yeah, the trappings have nothing to do with nothing.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So anyway, let's get to this next clip.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Because I feel like we wandered down a road.
jordan holmes
Alex is the Zodiac Killer.
dan friesen
And Selene completely distracted me from whatever point we were trying to make.
jordan holmes
I completely lost track the moment I saw her.
dan friesen
I think I tried to start setting up this clip.
jordan holmes
And I interrupted you, which means everybody gets to drink.
dan friesen
This weekend, there's big news about the world and religion.
jordan holmes
There's the big news?
dan friesen
Yeah.
alex jones
They announced this weekend they're going to have a one-world religion based on worshipping AI, and everyone will have to submit to it.
Other religions will be banned.
jordan holmes
Okay.
I think I might be okay with that.
alex jones
You can criticize any other religion, and then you've got to just make them all one big thing.
Just like they tell you in the movie Tron.
Everything is them telling it.
The big giant mainframe, and it's grabbing in all other programs.
unidentified
Yep.
alex jones
Put him on the grid, let him play for a while, and then blow him away.
dan friesen
Impression.
jordan holmes
Not a good one.
alex jones
There's something different about this one.
The new church of the AI god is even creepier than I imagined, CNET says.
What did Elon Musk warn you in the last few months?
He goes, watch out for tech leaders coming out and saying AI gods.
I can't get into it.
I've signed non-disclosures, but it's dangerous.
We're all in danger.
We're all in danger.
And the left's like, I can't wait to merge with it.
Now don't say mother and father.
Masculinity's bad.
dan friesen
So we're back to that.
We're back to that from 2015.
jordan holmes
We're all the way back there, huh?
dan friesen
And then also, he's completely lying about Elon Musk.
Elon Musk subtweeted a guy.
There's a guy who's probably a goof or some sort of publicity stunt is starting a church to worship the AI godhead.
jordan holmes
All of which is most likely a tongue-in-cheek bullshit kind of idea.
dan friesen
Yeah, and Elon Musk tweeted, you are not the person of all the people who shouldn't be.
Making a religion or something along those lines.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
Complete bullshit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Alex is manufacturing dialogue in one of the most disgraceful ways there.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
I signed a non-disclosure agreement.
Oh, it's coming.
It's dangerous.
jordan holmes
Now, the fascinating thing about that- How pathetic is that?
The fascinating thing about that is that AI would be the closest thing that we've ever come to that is actually a real god.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Like, that's a fascinating idea.
Like, perhaps a religion should develop around an AI.
Yeah.
dan friesen
And, you know, the way that technology expands exponentially, or it progresses, not on a non-linear fashion, like, what we will end up having...
jordan holmes
A geometric progression, yeah.
dan friesen
What we'll have access to within the next, like, 15, 20 years in terms of the growth of technology is, like, it's almost unpredictable.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And some people's models, some futurist models...
Are insanely, like, you know, just everything being able to communicate with each other, all knowledge, all centralized.
I don't know.
jordan holmes
A self-learning, self-perpetuating computer would be omniscient, essentially.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And I would be fine with...
I mean, I have some questions about AI, quite frankly.
Like, I always think about this.
jordan holmes
Like, can it swim?
dan friesen
That is one good question.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Second question.
After we figure that one out.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Would a thinking robot, like, if you could really sincerely have them be able to respond to commands and do rudimentary work?
jordan holmes
Full on pass the Turing test, are you saying?
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Something along those lines?
dan friesen
Would they be capable of experiencing boredom?
jordan holmes
That is a very good question.
dan friesen
Because that is a line.
That's a line for me.
jordan holmes
Well, here's the thing.
If they were capable of experiencing boredom, they would experience boredom at the same exponential level.
So one second of boredom for something along those lines would be infinite.
dan friesen
And the search for robot novelty would be insane.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
Because the way that we deal with boredom is generally through vice or through novelty.
We find something interesting and like, oh, that's weird.
For a robot, especially an omniscient robot, Novelty could be...
jordan holmes
Now we're getting into an episode of Futurama where Bender goes on a Bender.
dan friesen
Or Black Mirror.
Yeah.
So, that's the future.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
But now let's go to the past.
unidentified
Alright.
dan friesen
Alex Jones has something he wants to say about the past.
And then I'm going to have some pretty serious rebuttals afterwards.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
Okay, let me get right back into the news.
No puns then?
The scientific elite starting in the 1850s in Britain with the governing system of the world at that time being the British Empire.
dan friesen
So let's just stop there.
unidentified
No!
dan friesen
So he's saying that the British Empire was the ruling system of the world in the 1850s.
unidentified
Now, let me tell you.
jordan holmes
In the 1850s.
unidentified
Let me tell you what was going on.
jordan holmes
Is he going to go in the 1850s?
It's a bad history.
dan friesen
I pulled together a list of some of the things that were going on in the 1850s that were not much to do with the British Empire being the rulers of the world.
jordan holmes
Scientific elites.
dan friesen
Well, first of all, we got the American West was being explored.
Like, California was becoming a state.
jordan holmes
U.S. destiny!
dan friesen
Expansionism had taken over.
jordan holmes
The Monroe Doctrine.
dan friesen
Imperial Russia was on the march.
jordan holmes
Who would have guessed?
dan friesen
There was a war in Crimea.
jordan holmes
Yeah!
dan friesen
What's old is new again.
Yeah.
The Ottoman Empire was still in play.
jordan holmes
They were kicking ass in the 1850s.
dan friesen
They were kind of on their way down, but they were still at a great range of power.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
The Qing Dynasty is going strong in China for another 60 years after this.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
The King Dynasty?
Q-I-N-G.
jordan holmes
That's Ching.
dan friesen
Ching, that's what I thought.
Anyway, so those are some of the things that are going on.
And also, there was the Indian mutiny against British rule.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that was...
dan friesen
So Britain was dealing with some of that shit.
There was the opium wars that were going on.
jordan holmes
Yeah, which was Britain's fault.
dan friesen
Britain was not.
The colonial British system was not ruling the world in any way back then.
jordan holmes
It was like dead center of the complete collapse of the British colonial system.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So Alex is...
jordan holmes
I mean, we're talking when Haiti and the Dominican Republic started fighting back against...
dan friesen
He hasn't even presented his thesis and he's wrong.
He's just given the setting and like, no.
jordan holmes
Although I am wrong.
That was pre-American Revolution.
dan friesen
Fair enough.
jordan holmes
Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
dan friesen
It's pronounced Haishi.
jordan holmes
Haishi?
dan friesen
Yeah.
alex jones
Made the decision.
To establish world government.
dan friesen
So...
jordan holmes
In the 1850s.
dan friesen
Yes.
The British government, the scientific elite in the British government, the colonial British government, the empire that was running the world back then, decided they needed global government in 1850.
jordan holmes
Could have swore they thought of that one a long time before that.
dan friesen
In 1850, they'd just invented a sewing machine.
jordan holmes
Hey, don't knock that.
That was very hard to do.
dan friesen
No, it's cool.
It's cool.
It's cool.
But the scientific elite were not doing all that much in 1850.
alex jones
True world government, not just empire.
And they decided to use science to do it and always be so ahead of everybody else that they couldn't be defeated, not just militarily, but culturally.
jordan holmes
They had barely understood pasteurization.
alex jones
Where there aren't any families anymore.
People are programmable.
That's the final revolution, is what the globalist technocrats call it.
And they've written books, they've written white papers, they have conferences.
They had a consensus 160 years ago.
dan friesen
They didn't.
You know what he's talking about?
I figured it out.
unidentified
What?
dan friesen
Charles Darwin wrote The Origin of the Species in 1855.
jordan holmes
That's it.
dan friesen
I think that's it.
jordan holmes
That's what he's really talking about.
dan friesen
I think that's it.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I think that's the only thing he's talking about, because that's like the scientific shit he hates.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
The idea of, I guess, the origin of the species is a white paper.
jordan holmes
Evolution.
unidentified
Or whatever.
dan friesen
He hates evolution.
He hates the idea of...
jordan holmes
Well, if you're an esoteric Christian, you have to hate evolution.
unidentified
Of course.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that has to be number one on the list.
dan friesen
That's legitimately the only thing I can think of that was relevant in 1850s.
You know, the Western world.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
That he could be talking about.
jordan holmes
Well, I don't know my history, but I'm pretty sure that's when they found out heliocentricity.
dan friesen
Is that right?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Okay.
Really?
jordan holmes
No.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
I was like, that seems off.
That seems off.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
That shows how dumb I am.
jordan holmes
But I kind of feel like Alex is still mad about that, too.
dan friesen
Oh, definitely.
That shows how much I trust you.
You gave me a second of like, hold on now.
So, earlier, Alex said that he was going to play some clips of Charles Manson, and that they were going to show that Charles Manson, Charlie, if you're nasty, he is like Antifa, he is like the Democrats, and he is like Al Gore.
Here's the first clip.
unidentified
Charles Manson!
dan friesen
Here's the first clip.
jordan holmes
Charles Manson is like Al Gore.
dan friesen
Here's the first clip, which he specifically says is like Al Gore.
Let's listen to it and see if it sounds like Al Gore.
alex jones
So, here it is.
Charles Manson.
unidentified
No, the reality is they did what they did.
They're responsible for their own actions.
I'm responsible for my actions.
dan friesen
Let's talk about the family.
unidentified
I've come off a close few times.
Come on, didn't you, Charles?
What do you mean, come on, didn't you, man?
I ain't lying to you.
If you think I'm lying to you, you're wasting my time and your time.
dan friesen
Okay, let's not lie.
unidentified
There's no reason to.
There's no reason to.
Why are you guilty of that?
I'm guilty of...
What am I guilty of?
I'm guilty of thinking that I had rights in a courtroom.
That sounds like Alice.
jordan holmes
That sounds a lot like Alice.
unidentified
When my father died in all the mother wars, I thought, man, I'd stand in the courtroom and tell the judge it'd be all over 15, 20 minutes.
I'm busy.
I got some appointments.
And it started making money.
And when it started making money, whoa, money takes precedence.
They're going to put me down on the ground for the money.
As long as they make the money, they don't care who did it.
Who did it's not important.
And if I had a...
I've done it.
It'd be worse than if I hadn't.
Okay, consider.
I don't understand.
Well, consider.
I tell you like this.
Yeah, I chopped up nine hogs, and I'm going to chop up some more, you mother...
I'm going to kill you as many as I can.
I'm going to pile you up to the sky.
I figure about 50 million.
If I can get about 50 million of you, I might be able to save my trees and my air and my water and my wildlife.
Do I kill 50 million people?
Well, that's just a drop in the bucket of what's really coming.
That's just a drop in the bucket of what's really coming.
alex jones
And we know.
Bioweapon, plague releases, you name it.
You've got electromagnetic systems.
You can flip a switch.
People just go to sleep.
There'll be a bunch of skeletons that gotta come in in a few months to clean up.
jordan holmes
Dan, this is where normally...
Now, I know you don't have enough time.
If we weren't doing this episode live, I feel like you would have spent an entire weekend on that one clip and just gone, like, sentence by sentence...
Through Manson?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sentence by sentence through Manson, pulled together a clip of Alex saying the exact same fucking thing!
dan friesen
I don't even need to, because at the end there, he's like, yep, we know.
It's basically him being like, Manson, you get it.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I know!
unidentified
No, he's crazy.
dan friesen
He's saying that stuff about 50 million people and all that in response to being antagonized by this interviewer.
He's not saying that, like, I believe this.
He's saying it to shock the guy.
And none of that sounds like Al Gore, except for, I guess Al Gore likes trees.
jordan holmes
Save the trees.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So there's that.
Now here's exhibit B. Alex Jones believes that Charles Manson is super into a one-world government.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
Charles Manson wants a one-world government.
Here it is.
unidentified
Man doesn't back up to his fear.
He goes straight into his fear.
larry nichols
We've got to get a one-world government.
unidentified
We've got to have it, man.
alex jones
This is just the bombed out little drug delivery guy, the CIA, who heard all this, you know, the Satan orgies, and is now up there being our guru.
He's just repeating it when, what's he look like?
An inbred meth head.
He looks like an Antifa, doesn't he?
We're going to come back with more of these clips, ladies and gentlemen, but this is who we're facing.
jordan holmes
This is who we're dealing with, ladies and gentlemen.
alex jones
Now, before I go any further, if you don't financially support us, Choros will win.
dan friesen
If you don't support us, George Soros will win.
Cheers to everybody.
unidentified
There we go.
Now, he pivots to an ad.
dan friesen
Not just on, like, be afraid.
It's our enemies are goddamn Charles Manson.
When accidentally, like, him playing these things, it's very clear that...
Sounds a lot like Alex.
jordan holmes
It sounds exactly like Alex.
dan friesen
It sounds very similar.
jordan holmes
It's freakishly similar to Alex.
dan friesen
The one world government thing isn't like Alex at all, but at the same time, back in the 60s, the idea of a unified world government was a very popular idea.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's not like he was the only person who ever espoused that.
That was a pretty big hippie idea.
jordan holmes
That was one of the...
And it was also, coincidentally, the time when the UN was maybe the most popular it's ever been.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Like, that was shortly after...
dan friesen
Because they were afraid.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly!
That was shortly after the end of World War II, and the Cold War was just really starting to ramp up, and all of the proxy wars were just really starting to begin.
dan friesen
There was the hope of being able to avoid stuff like Vietnam in the future.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
Through UN action.
jordan holmes
Yeah, and it's entirely possible that at that point in time, had we had a one-world government...
We wouldn't have done that.
dan friesen
You sound like Charlie.
unidentified
Ah.
dan friesen
So here's the, oh, Vietnam, Charlie, oh boy.
Anyway, here's the next clip.
jordan holmes
I prefer spider leadership.
dan friesen
In the next clip, Alex, I don't even know what point he's trying to make, but it doesn't work.
alex jones
Here he is talking about man-made global warming in 1987.
Here's Charles Manson.
unidentified
I tried to stop the Vietnam War, and I did it.
And all the things I did, I did without breaking the law.
Because your law is 1776.
dan friesen
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
jordan holmes
Why would you play that clip, Alex?
dan friesen
Why would you do that?
That's insane.
jordan holmes
He said your slogan!
dan friesen
So anyway, it goes on from here.
It is definitely worth stopping.
jordan holmes
Alex is the least self-aware person in the history of the world.
dan friesen
He's really fucking lucky that it flashed away from his face on video, because there had to be a moment where he's like, uh-oh, I really should have listened to these clips before.
Because what he's doing is he's just playing the clips that Paul Joseph Watson put in an article.
On Infowars.
jordan holmes
You think Paul Joseph Watson is starting to troll Alex?
dan friesen
He might be.
jordan holmes
I think that'd be fun.
dan friesen
I think he might be working on an exit strategy.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I think that'd be smart of him.
dan friesen
Paul Joseph Watson wrote an article about how Charles Manson was an environmentalist, and he just cherry-picked these tiny little pieces from interviews without looking at the big picture.
But anyway, listen to the rest of this fucking thing.
We already got the 1776.
Listen to how much he sounds like Alex throughout the rest of this.
There's so much.
unidentified
White papers.
White papers.
larry nichols
Why don't you tell them the water is so bad the fish can't live in it?
unidentified
Why don't you tell them that the polar caps are melting because you're creating so much heat with this machine?
You see what I'm saying?
You won't face the fact that there's a holy war moving upon the planet Earth.
over the walls.
You want to blame one guy for it.
I've seen it.
I witnessed it go by.
I've seen the children, what they were trying to do, and I was sympathetic with them.
But you might say, I'm a devil in this respect, that I never broke will or entered into anyone's Alex Jones constantly talks about free association.
jordan holmes
Wow.
unidentified
From your words, as Mr. Emmons quotes them in this book, it's clear that you were guilty of murder, and yet he says in all his conversations with you, he never heard you express remorse.
Have you never felt it?
Remorse for what?
You people have done everything in the world to me.
Doesn't that give me equal right?
I can do anything I want to you people at any time I want to, because that's what you've done to me.
dan friesen
Alex believes that all of his actions are justified because of how evil the globalists are.
jordan holmes
Whatever they're doing is what they say we're doing.
Yeah.
unidentified
If you spit in my face and smack me in the mouth and throw me in solitary confinement for nothing, what do you think's going to happen when I get out of here?
What do you think's going to happen to you?
The things that you create in here.
jordan holmes
Chimeras.
alex jones
So, there you go.
If you go out on the street and look at the Antifa people...
Or you look at the average leftist at the Hillary event that we just sent a nice reporter out to cover.
They were in her face, screaming at her, attacking her, flipping her off, grabbing the microphone.
They all have that trashiness to them, that stupidity to them, that glaze in their eyes.
There's nothing there.
They're just kind of broadcasting the corrupt spirit of the world.
They're not themselves.
dan friesen
That's a great way to respond to that clip because he can't deal with the content of it at all without people being like, hold on now.
jordan holmes
I think the biggest reveal, though, is not all of the shit that he said that is exactly what Alex says.
dan friesen
Right.
Or very similar.
jordan holmes
And especially like that, you know, Lick, if they come after me, I'll kick everybody's ass.
And you're like, Alex, that's...
That's you.
dan friesen
Flashback to him screaming at Adam Schiff.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you have these paranoid fantasies of somebody attacking you, which will then give you the right to do whatever it is you want.
The biggest thing, though, that I felt was a huge reveal is, listen, I'm not a devil, but I'm a devil in some way.
dan friesen
Alex talks about the evil in him.
jordan holmes
Exactly, which is such an Alex thing of like...
Hey, I'm not perfect.
I have evil inside of me.
dan friesen
And that's how I know the good.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
Exactly.
That's, to me, so much of what Alex is.
dan friesen
There's so much there.
And then also...
jordan holmes
All right.
Quick question.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Did Charles Manson die?
dan friesen
Yesterday, yes.
jordan holmes
Or did he...
dan friesen
Turn into teeth.
jordan holmes
Pretend to be Bill Hicks for a long time.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
And then pretend to be Alex Jones.
And he was then replaced by a DARPA spy.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
Let's actually go with Russian agent.
Why not?
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Let's go with Russian agent who had a swastika tattooed on his forehead.
That way he could differentiate himself from the real Charles Manson, Alex Jones.
dan friesen
So when the fake one dies...
Charles Manson, who is now living as Alex Jones, goes on to his show and tries to rehab his image.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
Gives himself an entirely new narrative.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
Interesting.
jordan holmes
I think we found that they're saying the same shit.
dan friesen
As realistic as anything Alex is saying on this episode.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no kidding.
dan friesen
So, Alex...
unidentified
Who's there?
jordan holmes
Is somebody there?
dan friesen
It's me.
It's Manson.
unidentified
Call me Charlie.
alex jones
Manson, hold on a second.
dan friesen
Call me Charlie.
jordan holmes
Why are you holding up a mirror right now?
dan friesen
Alex, you busted.
jordan holmes
Oh, no!
dan friesen
Haven't done that in a long time.
jordan holmes
That's been a while.
dan friesen
So anyway, Alex last week.
jordan holmes
Is there a reason we haven't done that one in a long time?
I feel like there is.
dan friesen
Got rusty.
So...
Last week, Alex Jones did a 36-hour marathon because he needed money.
jordan holmes
I recall.
Money bomb!
dan friesen
Some people made fun of him quite a bit.
Vice did an article that we discussed that covered all of the wrong aspects of it.
And it turns out Alex is going to do another marathon next week, mostly motivated out of spite.
alex jones
We're going to have a 34-hour live broadcast next week again because of Vice.
And others didn't like this.
We're going to do another one.
It was very popular.
Got about a million and a half new listeners and viewers during that.
So it's very, very successful to reach out to new people.
We're going to start doing those since they don't like them and try to demoralize us.
That's coming up on Monday.
dan friesen
That's just, I need money.
I mean, there's no other...
jordan holmes
Why would you even try and hide it under that veneer of like...
We're doing this not because I need money.
We're doing this because I want to troll these assholes.
dan friesen
To the chat room, I see a question.
Those posters that are behind me are, in fact, the foods that should not eat to get gir.
That is what those are.
The old-time freezing point reference that'll never be explained.
Yes.
jordan holmes
Actually, I think we did do an episode wherein we explained, or at least we talked about those.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Maybe.
jordan holmes
Go back through the archives, Policy Wonks, and maybe you'll find eventually us talking about the food that you shouldn't eat to Getker.
dan friesen
Now let me tell you, don't eat a pigeon with an ice lolly.
jordan holmes
It's a bad idea.
dan friesen
It'll give you asthma.
jordan holmes
Let me tell you something.
Ice cream, ginger salad, dead.
dan friesen
There's a bunch of things you can't eat with jinkle beans.
I know that much.
I don't know what a jinkle bean is, but anyway.
jordan holmes
I'll tell you this, I don't know what a mangosteen is.
dan friesen
You don't know what a mangosteen is?
jordan holmes
What's a mangosteen?
dan friesen
All I know is that...
Maybe 12 years ago, Ludacris was on Twitter yelling about Mangosteen, and Aziz Ansari was trying to get him to not take Mangosteen.
Apparently there's some danger, so we'll give you some...
Anyway.
jordan holmes
I'm just a big fan of Neem Leaf and Chicken Egg giving you rheumatism.
dan friesen
Rheumatism, man.
Don't fuck with it.
So anyway, in this next...
Oh, we're done with Charles Manson, buddy.
jordan holmes
Oh, thank God.
dan friesen
No, that's not a good thing.
jordan holmes
No, that's not a good thing?
Are you sure?
dan friesen
I'm not even going to introduce this clip.
This is Mike Down.
alex jones
And we have Simon Roche on, who is a prominent activist and individual who's been exposing the massive white genocide in South Africa, in Zimbabwe, in many of these other African countries, where everybody's now basically starving to death.
They have epic Weimar Republic inflation because they've driven any infrastructure out.
It's just a thing of conquest.
So South Africans hold Black Monday protests over white farmer murders.
That's Newsweek.
Murders of white farmers spark protests in South Africa.
That's CBS News.
Epidemic of South African farm murders continues as gunmen shoot elderly victims dead.
Now, these are groups of ANC-connected black communists doing it.
That's what the whole Black Lives Matter thing is like international.
dan friesen
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
This is trouble.
You can pick your mic back up now if you like.
Alex has this guy, Simon Roshan, to talk about.
unidentified
White genocide in South Africa.
jordan holmes
You know what's interesting?
My girlfriend actually grew up in South Africa.
unidentified
She did.
jordan holmes
At the end of apartheid.
dan friesen
She lived through the end of apartheid.
jordan holmes
Yeah, so I do not have any thoughts.
I have no thoughts about it whatsoever.
unidentified
Well, good.
dan friesen
Let's cheers.
jordan holmes
Jesus Christ.
Fucking Christ.
The gall.
To even be like, hey, I can't believe black people are angry at white people in these countries.
The chrome-plated balls on these fuckheads.
Like, this is astonishing.
dan friesen
Right.
It's pretty crazy.
jordan holmes
Look, look.
Here's the only thing.
dan friesen
Guess what?
I want you to say whatever you're about to say, but I also want you to know...
The situation they're talking about specifically is crazier than you think.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
But go ahead.
jordan holmes
All I'm going to say is if there is any place in the world where you could look at white genocide happening and be like, I guess that's fine.
It would be those two places.
dan friesen
But you have a soft no.
jordan holmes
I'm a soft no.
But in those two places, you've got to be a little bit like, okay, guys, you shouldn't do it.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
But I get it.
dan friesen
So Alex didn't read this article.
jordan holmes
Of course not.
dan friesen
I'm going to read an article about this Black Friday?
Black Monday?
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Whatever.
jordan holmes
Who cares?
dan friesen
It is not at all what he's talking about.
jordan holmes
Oh boy.
dan friesen
And he is being misled by this guy who's coming on.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Who is a part of what would amount to a militia group.
jordan holmes
That's not good.
dan friesen
For white people.
jordan holmes
That's not good.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Very heavily armed.
And we'll get to some of their craziness here in a little bit.
But let me just read this article to you.
jordan holmes
So, before you read it, just recap the story that we were told.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
Which is that white farmers were killed.
dan friesen
They're being slaughtered.
jordan holmes
Were killed by...
A and C black militia groups, which is what Black Lives Matter is.
dan friesen
And he's implying a connection to Black Lives Matter worldwide.
jordan holmes
So that is Alex Jones' interpretation, and I guarantee you that as Dan reads this article, it will line up perfectly with truth.
dan friesen
There's an article from Al Jazeera here.
Most white farmers across South Africa donned black clothing and gathered on motorways and roads in a procession of tractors and trucks to protest against what they described as a weak state response to farm murders.
the racially charged protest very few rallying were not white comes days after two white farmers were sentenced to more than 10 years in jail for assaulting a black man in a case that has also stirred racial tensions Interesting that that's what the protest was about, not what Alex is actually even describing.
White commercial farmers have long complained that they bear the brunt of rising violent crime and say the government ignores their plight.
So what do you think so far?
jordan holmes
What I think so far is that perhaps Alex...
Did not read this article.
dan friesen
I'm going to go on in the article.
Earlier in 2017, Africa Check, which is a fact-checking political organization, said since there were no reliable estimates on how many people were working and living on farms, it was close to impossible to calculate a farm murder rate.
It also laid rest to accusations that a white genocide was unfolding in the country after Mike Cernovich, a prominent American white supremacist, tweeted in late 2016 that, quote, white genocide is real in South Africa.
Here is an interesting other quote from a guy named Gareth Newham, who's the head of Governance, Crime, and Justice Division.
jordan holmes
Again, even if it was, you'd kind of be like, I get it.
dan friesen
So this guy, Gareth Newham, is the head of the Governance, Crime, and Justice Division of the Pretoria-based Institute for Security Studies.
Quote, within the white farming community, there are white right-wing sentiments and a belief that these attacks are orchestrated, and they've been lobbying European countries, which has only resulted in a politicization of the issue.
But they think it's only them, and that's a mistake.
Of course, their concerns vis-a-vis murders, violence, their concerns are serious.
jordan holmes
Reasonable.
dan friesen
But they also need to appreciate that it is a national issue.
Though claims of a white genocide continue to circulate on social media, with memes calling on the world to act and stop whites being murdered en masse, these have been met mostly with ridicule by most South Africans.
Last week, the South African Police Service released its annual stats of crime and found that there were more than 19,000 murders in the country, or 34 murders per 100,000 people between Not bad.
What?
For some bit of context, white South Africans make up 1.8% of the country's murders while being under 9% of the population.
Statistically, they have a shockingly lower than expected murder rate.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, Mike Cernovich.
jordan holmes
But, thank God that one of our cast of lunatic characters saved the day by being a fucking racist pile of garbage.
dan friesen
Right.
I'm not sure, I don't have this article pulled up anymore, but I found a very interesting thing about this guy, Simon Roche.
Apparently, what he has done, he is a part of a group called the Swedelanders, and I'm not pronouncing that correct.
jordan holmes
That's already, I'm already out.
dan friesen
It means Southlanders, and they are a group that is...
Militarizing.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
They believe that a race war is coming and that they are going to be the victims of it.
And so they're basically...
jordan holmes
So essentially he's having Charles Manson on the show.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Ironic on the day after Charles Manson dies.
Okay, here's the article.
This is an article on a website called angrywhitemen.org, which is dedicated to tracking the connections within the white supremacist alt-right world.
jordan holmes
Oh, because it sounds like it could be a very different website.
unidentified
It could be on the other side of it.
dan friesen
It's really interesting.
I'll post a link up to it because I don't have time to go through all of it.
But one of the things that's really fascinating is if you do the kind of research that this website has done, you see a very focused and intentional campaign on the part of Simon Roche and other members of the Swedelanders to approach really, really fucked up versions of the right wing.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And get them to try and publicize and fundraise for them to the extent that they even have a recording of a phone call.
This guy...
Man, I'm sorry.
I really should have prepared this a little bit better.
jordan holmes
Does Simon Roche have an Afrikaner accent?
He's South African, right?
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
So does he have an Afrikaner accent?
dan friesen
I believe so, yeah.
It's close to Australian, even.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's very similar to the New Zealand accent.
dan friesen
So, I'll just read here from this blog, because this is specifically about Simon Roche.
The founder of the southern nationalist blog Occidental Dissent, Brad Griffin, has penned a number of inflammatory articles under the pseudonym Hunter Wallace.
In 2012, for example, he wrote that, quote, Hitler was justified in conquering Norway, and claimed that in 150 years, mass murderer Anders Breivik will be viewed as, quote, the European John Brown.
unidentified
Don't support Anders.
dan friesen
In a March 16th, 2017 post, Griffin wrote that he was contacted by a representative of the Swedelanders.
He explained that he had received several calls from an unknown number.
When he finally answered the phone, a gentleman by the name of Simon Roche introduced himself and informed him that an acquaintance passed Griffin's number to him.
Later, he revealed that he accidentally recorded the conversation between him and Roche and posted the audio on his blog as proof.
During the call, a portion of which is included here on this website, Roche explains that he and other Swedelanders are currently touring the US as part of a fundraising mission.
Roche says that he was hoping Griffin would cover the Swedelanders organization on his blog.
telling Roche that he has, quote, written a few things about the crazy situation going on in Southern Africa.
unidentified
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
So there's a bunch of connections here that are intentionally made with white nationalist blogs.
Yeah.
unidentified
And that's not a coincidence.
jordan holmes
One thing that's really important to remember, and it's actually really hard to remember, is that...
Apartheid didn't end a long time ago.
Like I said, my girlfriend lived through the end of apartheid.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
She is not 40 years older than me.
dan friesen
You do like them old, though.
jordan holmes
I do like them older, though.
No, it's insane because, of course, listen to these assholes.
You can tell that it's that same white victimization that comes from them discovering, oh, no!
We don't run the world anymore.
dan friesen
It's so much more fucked up than that.
jordan holmes
God damn you.
dan friesen
So I'm going to finish this article on Al Jazeera, and then we'll jump back into Alex's interview with him.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
So Jillian Godsell, a lecturer at the Witt School of Governance, told Al Jazeera...
jordan holmes
Jillian?
Is it with a G?
It's a G. So it's probably Gillian.
dan friesen
Gillian?
unidentified
Maybe.
dan friesen
I don't care.
jordan holmes
Gillian.
dan friesen
She told Al Jazeera that the claim of rising farm murders was a, quote, proxy for something else.
Quote, I don't think this is about murders.
The number of deaths, we don't know if there are whites or black farmers who were killed.
Some say 30% of those murdered were black workers.
People seem to be grieving Yeah, the end of apartheid.
A lot of these farmers were flying apartheid-era flags.
jordan holmes
Who would have guessed?
dan friesen
Farm rights or whatever.
jordan holmes
Again.
dan friesen
That is about wanting to go back to a status quo wherein you had all the power over another group of people.
jordan holmes
Again, even if it was a white genocide, you'd be like, I get it.
dan friesen
Here is another fact and a stat that is very important.
According to a recent land audit, white Southern Africans are 8.9% of the population and they own 73% of the agricultural land.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Yeah, still.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Still.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Which is a very interesting thing.
dan friesen
That's fucked up.
jordan holmes
In that, even at the end of apartheid, the compassion that was shown to this very, very small minority.
dan friesen
Yep.
It's ridiculous.
unidentified
God!
jordan holmes
I mean, again...
dan friesen
It's absurd.
jordan holmes
Look, one of the reasons I'm a soft no on white genocide is because of that.
Every time that white people have finally had to relinquish all of the power and only had more.
Most of the power, they've been treated with such, such compassion.
It's bananas.
dan friesen
Yep.
So all that stuff.
jordan holmes
Which they would never have shown.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
Which they have historically never shown.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
Not when they needed to.
jordan holmes
I like how I'm calling white people they.
dan friesen
Right.
Well.
jordan holmes
I think at this point I've proven that I'm a self-hating white person.
dan friesen
Right.
But the issue comes down to that this is not about any kind of idea of white genocide.
It's not about farmer murders.
And I actually looked it up.
Even the reported statistics that they can find about farmers that are murdered are down.
The peak of them were in the late 90s.
jordan holmes
Well, in the same way that crime in the United States has been significantly dropping ever since the 60s.
It has been consistent, and yet one of the easiest ways to stoke white fear is by acting as though crime slash...
Black crime is what's really causing all of your issues.
unidentified
The knockout game.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
It's all the same bullshit.
jordan holmes
Even the protest, as Alex described it, is that this is against the murders of farm workers.
unidentified
It's not.
jordan holmes
And the protest was about white people hurting people and how that should be fine.
dan friesen
Right, yeah, yeah.
These white people went to prison and we don't like it.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, of course.
dan friesen
Because they were just fighting back against this nonsense.
And, like, again, as that article made very clear, and I completely agree with it, The concern over violence and murder rates are real.
That's something that's real, but personalizing it and making it your victim narrative is wrong because it's a national problem.
And statistically, as it's shown there, 1.8% of the murders are white people.
jordan holmes
And it's the same thing here.
The statistics are not...
Interracial murder as an issue.
Generally speaking, murder is within each, like, if you're a white person, you're 90% plus likely to be murdered by a white person.
dan friesen
Generally people you know.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, great.
Anyway.
This interview is hot garbage, and so I haven't included most of it.
jordan holmes
Thank you.
dan friesen
We don't need to listen to this fucking asshole.
jordan holmes
Thank God.
dan friesen
But here is Alex saying one of the worst things ever.
unidentified
Ugh.
alex jones
But I mean, explain what's happening there when we come back from break and the emergency plan, because as you said, already...
South Africa is one of the highest crime rates in the world.
It's collapsing.
The populations are just killing each other en masse.
People believe if you rape a baby, if you have HIV, it makes you...
Well, I mean, it's just descending back into absolute barbarism.
And I gotta ask you, why not just evacuate?
And then it's very sad these folks will all just kill each other.
For whatever reason, it's very, very sad.
We'll be right back.
Stay with us.
dan friesen
Fuck you with your very, very sad nonsense, Alex.
jordan holmes
Hey, white people.
Evacuate.
Evacuate.
That's his argument.
You know what that argument is very similar to?
dan friesen
And then the black people will just kill each other because they can't control themselves.
jordan holmes
You know what that argument is very similar to?
Nazi shit.
Exactly.
No, no, no, look.
We don't want to cleanse the racists anymore.
We just think that Europe should be for Europeans.
dan friesen
Africa for the Africans.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
Yeah, so white people evacuate to Europe.
That's almost in reverse.
dan friesen
That's literal white nationalism.
jordan holmes
That's literal white nationalism.
dan friesen
That's ethnostates.
That is nonsense.
jordan holmes
Also, if you want to talk about rape issues in Africa, do you want to know the largest number of rape cases and what causes those rape cases?
Hey, everyone.
dan friesen
While Jordan explains this, I'm going to get another beer.
jordan holmes
The significant issue with rape in Africa is it's not fucking racial or child-based.
dan friesen
It's religion.
jordan holmes
It's Christianity.
It's a Christianity that was spread by...
You guessed it!
Americans going over there!
unidentified
Because...
jordan holmes
Okay, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Dan.
This is something that really fucking pisses me off.
unidentified
I know.
dan friesen
We've talked about it in the past.
jordan holmes
Okay, I'm sorry.
dan friesen
No, no.
unidentified
I'm sorry.
dan friesen
It's a point that's worth bringing up.
jordan holmes
It's because whenever that fucking brand of Christianity, that fucking...
dan friesen
And that narrative is whack.
jordan holmes
The homophobic brand of Christianity was no longer as accepted, even though it's still very accepted here.
When it was no longer as accepted, those fuckers decided, nah, nah, nah, nah, you know what?
We're going to go to Africa and we're going to run that fucking place.
dan friesen
I know!
jordan holmes
Fucking infuriating!
How dare you!
dan friesen
Hold on.
The chat room made a really good point.
jordan holmes
What's that?
dan friesen
I have neighbors.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
I'm sorry.
I'm actually more sorry to the chat room than I am to you, Dan.
dan friesen
I did think that that was probably one of the things that was going to set you off the most.
jordan holmes
I'm so fucking predictable.
dan friesen
Just the fucking idea that Alex wouldn't have the wherewithal, wouldn't have the awareness, the knowledge, the self-reflection to know what he was saying.
Like, I don't believe that.
I don't believe he would be so glib and loose-lipped as to say...
Why do white people just leave and the blacks kill each other?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, he knows what he's saying.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
That's not a stray comment.
And guess what?
That's a big part of the Swedelanders' sort of ideology.
They know, or they know, they believe that at some point they're going to have to evacuate, especially the cities.
That's part of why they go around and raise tons of money, because they need to have enough fuel, and they need to have guns, and all that shit.
And so Alex is having this guy on, and he's not reading the articles or the statistics or anything about the underpinnings of the argument, but he knows who this guy is to some extent.
He has to.
Or at least he's gotten a call from Cernovich.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Or one of these guys and been like, you've got to talk to this guy.
He's up on shit.
Tommy Robinson gave him a call or some shit.
jordan holmes
As did Tommy Davidson.
dan friesen
The Swedelanders are big as a Poisson.
jordan holmes
Every time you say Tommy Robinson, I think of that.
Okay, interesting thought experiment.
dan friesen
Also, to the chat room.
Roommates are okay.
The people who live upstairs from me, probably not great.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry about that.
dan friesen
I think they have children.
unidentified
I'm sorry.
jordan holmes
I thought that was the Airbnb assholes.
dan friesen
Not always.
jordan holmes
All right.
It's only 9.23.
They can deal with some yelling.
dan friesen
It's not like it's a weeknight.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Good point.
I have to work tomorrow morning, too.
Right.
Okay.
Thought experiment.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
If you are a white nationalist, what if we just gave you a nation?
Because in all honesty, think about this very seriously.
dan friesen
You can have French Guiana.
jordan holmes
Very seriously.
dan friesen
Or Guiana.
Where did Jim Jones go?
You can have that place.
jordan holmes
It's cursed.
I mean, in reality, most white people aren't white nationalists.
dan friesen
True.
jordan holmes
Most white people are at...
At the very least, some sort of latent racist.
There's no way to completely wash out my implicit bias.
dan friesen
There's constantly conceptions that you need to...
jordan holmes
Yeah, you have to continue to re-evaluate yourself as you go through this.
So I experience certain forms of racism within me, and I go, oh, fuck me.
You know, like that kind of shit.
It's just from the way that you were raised in, the culture that you're raised in.
The people who are out-and-out white nationalists, if their argument is when we leave, we'll just let them kill each other, all honesty, if we let them leave...
Wouldn't those people just wind up killing each other?
dan friesen
They'd probably find a new version of separation.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
Like blue eyes and green eyes or something like the hair color or something.
jordan holmes
Those are the type of people who are going to get into a small group and then go, well, we're not racially pure enough.
dan friesen
Right.
There's going to be some new division that needs to come up.
There always is a fight.
In the same way that Alex Jones won the presidency, quote-unquote, and still has to be the victim, the white nationalists will go and have their own country.
I'd still be like, gotta scapegoat that ginger over there.
jordan holmes
When your entire ideology is based on purity, then there is always going to be an escalation of what purity is.
dan friesen
Of course.
jordan holmes
Because purity can never exist without the impure.
And that's always the issue there.
They're always going to try and continue to escalate their purity and find that perfect little diamond of white until everybody's dead but the one guy.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
So if their argument is everybody else is going to kill each other once we leave, let's let them leave.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And then when they kill each other, we'll be like, ha ha, I got you guys.
You're the ones who are dumb.
dan friesen
Yeah.
I mean, no matter what, we can just...
Put a pin in it with this is intense bigotry.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And Alex Jones, like, has no leg to stand on in terms of not harboring white nationalist opinions and beliefs.
Pretending that he doesn't know that his audience vibes with that.
jordan holmes
Very white nationalist, yeah.
dan friesen
Or that the guests that he has on...
jordan holmes
Very white nationalist.
dan friesen
So let's get the taste out of our mouth real quick.
Here's a commercial.
jordan holmes
Okay.
God, you have curated these to bring me up and then down and then up again.
dan friesen
It's like a Chuck Mangione song.
jordan holmes
You're playing me like a drum solo.
That's what you're doing right now.
dan friesen
So, this is from a commercial where he reads reviews of the products from the website.
jordan holmes
Alright, now I'm having fun.
dan friesen
And this, I want to throw something every time I hear this.
It plays like three times per episode.
This little snippet is just like...
Fuck you, Alec.
Go fuck yourself.
alex jones
Continuing with Silver Bullet, the highest quality 30 parts per million colloidal silver out there.
Dale should be called Magic Bullet.
Oh, my gosh.
The listeners are so much smarter than me, and I'm not being patronizing.
That's what a silver bullet's supposed to be, though, kind of.
dan friesen
Our listeners are so smarter than me.
jordan holmes
I'm not being patronizing.
Every time he does that, I'm not trying to brag.
I'm not being patronizing.
dan friesen
I'm not being patronizing.
But that's kind of what a silver bullet is.
jordan holmes
That's exactly what you're doing.
Jesus.
dan friesen
What a dick.
jordan holmes
What a fucking asshole.
dan friesen
He's just being a dick to his own audience who write these reviews for him.
jordan holmes
It's so weird how it seems as though he bumps in and out of self-awareness.
Like, he's the least self-aware.
dan friesen
That's out.
jordan holmes
See, I feel like, though, he has to, on some level, know that he's trolling when he says that.
Because he's doing the, I'm not trying to brag.
dan friesen
I think he's rushing.
Because this is one take Jones.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
He doesn't have time to record this.
jordan holmes
This is L. Ron Hubbard.
First draft, last draft, get it out the door, baby.
dan friesen
Undoubtedly.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
So now let's get back to this South African Swedelander.
Great.
unidentified
So...
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You might think...
unidentified
What might I think, Dan?
dan friesen
This is so...
unidentified
This is so hard for me because I know what's coming.
dan friesen
This is very hard for me.
jordan holmes
Here's the problem.
You've built this up so much, I almost have to not get angry in response to that.
dan friesen
No, this won't make you mad.
jordan holmes
This is just going to baffle me?
dan friesen
The fever has broken in terms of this part.
There's something else that will make you mad later.
But in terms of the South African stuff, I think we're in the clear.
jordan holmes
Does he ever say Swedelander?
dan friesen
He does, and it's not pronounced like that.
It's like Sufflander or something like that.
It's S-U-I-D.
I just don't know how to pronounce it.
I don't care.
I don't care to respect them either, quite frankly.
Fuck them.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
dan friesen
So you might think that their beliefs are based on, I don't know, misinterpreted history?
You might think that they're based on pure racial hatred?
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
You might think that they're based on any number of things.
jordan holmes
I kind of think they're based on Denny's placemats.
dan friesen
You could never guess what they're based on.
jordan holmes
Okay.
unidentified
You know, we hold to a series of prophecies that said this crisis, the prophecies given 100 years ago, will occur at a time when a man with a place, that is to say, hair resembling a wig, will be in power in the United States.
And he will take over the reins of power.
From a black man.
And there are various other things.
I won't go on and on and on about it.
But the point is that we are devoted to an ancient culture.
alex jones
Well, that's intriguing, though, because I want to hear about this prophecy.
unidentified
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
dan friesen
A man with a wig.
unidentified
What?
Alex Jones has a guy on his show who's motivated to make a militia.
dan friesen
To be fair, Simon Roche is not in charge of the group.
He's not in charge of the group, but...
jordan holmes
Who wrote that prophecy, and why doesn't he have all of our money?
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
That is the most...
Specific prophecy I have ever heard in my entire life.
dan friesen
This guy's name is Nikolas Peter Johannes Jeans de Rendsburg, also known as Siener von Rendsburg, which is the seer of Rendsburg.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
And I've done a bunch of, I've done a bit of research into him.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Let me give you the...
jordan holmes
I, I, Dan, do not ruin this for me.
That man is unequivocally a genius.
If he wrote that prophecy...
That is the most brilliant thing anyone has ever done.
I believe in clairvoyance right now, Dan.
dan friesen
I found a book of his prophecies.
jordan holmes
Are you still...
When did he live?
A hundred years ago?
dan friesen
Yeah, he died in 1926.
jordan holmes
And he's still writing books of...
They were still writing books of prophecies back then?
dan friesen
Someone collected something or other.
jordan holmes
I'm in.
unidentified
I'm in.
jordan holmes
I believe in this.
dan friesen
I can't find that prophecy.
I will tell you that.
This one might be Simon Riffing.
This one I cannot find.
unidentified
When a man with the hair looks like a wig takes over for a black man.
dan friesen
I will give you one.
Here's one of his 1916.
August 1916.
Here's one of his prophecies.
I see a terrified woman in black.
And the interpretation of that is the death and destruction of communism coming to the West.
So it's that level of prophecy.
jordan holmes
That's reading into it real hard.
dan friesen
It's that much of a stretch.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but I mean, if he got the dude with the wig taking over for a black man...
dan friesen
Again, I can't find that.
jordan holmes
Dan, let me believe.
I don't believe in ghosts.
I don't believe in God.
I want to believe in this almost certainly racist pile of garbage.
dan friesen
Well, here's the deal.
He was a South African guy.
jordan holmes
He's an Africaner, yeah.
dan friesen
And he was involved in, you know, he was involved in the Boer War.
That's not good.
jordan holmes
I'm sure he was on the right side of that.
dan friesen
I'm not sure if he was.
jordan holmes
I don't think so.
dan friesen
But he was sort of not, he was not a good soldier, and he had these visions, and so he got sent home, and then he came back to try and warn people, and he gained sort of a reputation for being right.
He had some hunches about military stuff, and he ended up being right about some stuff.
jordan holmes
Which is what you could do with any amount of basic research.
dan friesen
You could.
jordan holmes
Especially in the Boer War.
dan friesen
You could, certainly.
jordan holmes
That was one of the dumber wars in history.
Nobody did a good job in that war.
dan friesen
I don't want to get too into his whole history, because there's not a ton of information that I could find.
It's all cockamamie bullshit.
It's all just like...
It's hearsay from the people who want to support him.
But like...
jordan holmes
We know...
unidentified
Again, the wig replacing a black man.
When a white man with hair like a wig takes over for a black man.
dan friesen
I cannot find that prophecy.
jordan holmes
Also, my Afrikaner accent, dead on.
dan friesen
Perfect.
Here's the thing that is interesting throughout...
Most of his prophecies.
jordan holmes
Just real quick, the way to an Afrikaner accent, just say, Blake.
unidentified
Blake.
jordan holmes
That's all you have to do?
You've got it.
dan friesen
Great.
jordan holmes
Nailed it.
dan friesen
Did your girlfriend teach you that?
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
I got in a year.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
You're like an Alex Jones of impressions.
unidentified
So...
dan friesen
This guy was an Afrikaner.
Yes.
He died in 1926.
jordan holmes
Good.
dan friesen
He was making predictions up to his death.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
One of the pretty consistent threads throughout a lot of his prophecies were about the rise of Germany.
unidentified
Yeah.
Well, I mean, if he made them before 1930...
dan friesen
In a positive light.
jordan holmes
As a good thing?
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Not just like a...
Hey, these white dudes are going to fucking rise.
dan friesen
No.
unidentified
No, no.
dan friesen
It's like a very positive thing.
unidentified
Okay.
jordan holmes
Did he get the dates right?
dan friesen
No.
He didn't have any dates.
jordan holmes
That's the problem with prophecy.
This is why I don't believe in it.
dan friesen
The interpretation that's given of a lot of it is that the U.S. and Germany will have to be on the same side in World War III.
That's a way of getting around the idea that it had anything to do with World War II.
unidentified
Ah.
dan friesen
But you saw there at the end.
jordan holmes
I mean, and again, if you do some basic research, you could have expected that the U.S. would have joined Germany in World War II.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
It is kind of surprising if you look at the United States' history to see us...
On the right side of history.
dan friesen
So this guy named Gustav Mueller, he was a guy who was in the service in South Africa, as it were, back in the day.
He's still alive now.
He's the one who started the Sweetlanders, based on a lot of the prophecies of this Sinar de Rendsburg.
jordan holmes
Say that one more time.
dan friesen
He started this extremist religious group called...
How do you pronounce D-I-E in German?
jordan holmes
Die?
unidentified
Die?
jordan holmes
Die.
dan friesen
Die Swedelanders.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
He started that as a paramilitary, non-connected to a state action group in order to protect white people in South Africa.
jordan holmes
Based on...
unidentified
Prophecies.
dan friesen
From this guy.
jordan holmes
Based on prophecies.
dan friesen
Yes.
And now, their representative, who has spent a lot of time contacting alt-right figures in the United States for fundraising purposes, is a guest on Alex Jones' show.
This is crazy.
So now, Gustav Mueller.
jordan holmes
You know, there's a certain part of me that's always jealous.
Like, imagine being the type of person...
Who would join a group because it's based off prophecy.
dan friesen
See, now this is where my sort of dysfunction comes into play.
I thought you were jealous of me getting to discover these things.
unidentified
Because it's kind of fun.
jordan holmes
Not at all.
Not at all.
unidentified
It's kind of fun.
dan friesen
No, no, no.
Oh my god.
jordan holmes
Again, I want to live in a world where this is not anywhere near me.
dan friesen
I want to talk to you about Gustav Mueller.
jordan holmes
See, that's a sentence I would never want to say.
dan friesen
I found an article from a South African newspaper.
jordan holmes
That's like being like, let me tell you something about the Unabomber.
He had some good ideas.
dan friesen
So, Gustav Mueller, in January of 2008, he was in court.
I will read this.
Mueller was arrested on December 13, 2007, at a caravan park in Mosul Bay.
He had been on the run from police for being in possession of an illegal submachine gun.
His two co-accused, Hank Duparis and Swien Berger, are currently held on respective bails.
Mueller has been remanded in custody until January 21st for a formal bail application.
The Swedelanders shot to public notice last year as the organization behind the Nelson Mandela hoax emails feverishly circulated on the internet.
Do you know what he's talking about?
This article's talking about?
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
There were a bunch of emails that were a hoax that went around purporting to be from Nelson Mandela's widow.
And she had a large inheritance that she needed to get out of the country.
It was the Nigerian scam.
The Swedelanders did that, but just with Nelson Mandela.
jordan holmes
Really?
unidentified
Really?
Okay.
Thank you.
Yes.
jordan holmes
Dan, why are...
Why are idiots so much better at fundraising than we are?
unidentified
What's fascinating is Alex talks about how he's had friends who got tricked by the Nigerian emails, and now he has a guy who's part of an organization that did the same thing to me!
jordan holmes
Yeah, but they were tricked by black people.
That's bad.
dan friesen
Oh my god.
jordan holmes
If you're tricked by white people, you can defend that.
unidentified
This is so insane.
dan friesen
Like, I don't understand.
I just don't get it.
This is...
There's so many problems with this guest, and white genocide fears are...
Maybe the least of them.
unidentified
I mean, they're the most important.
jordan holmes
They're the most evil.
dan friesen
At least.
And they're only real.
jordan holmes
They're the least...
That's the least...
I don't know.
I don't know what to tell you.
Somehow, I was about to say that's the least dumb one.
As if being afraid of white genocide is the least dumb of those things.
It's far more reasonable to be...
dan friesen
Jordan said reasonable.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
It's far more...
Yeah, and the chat room is about to agree with me.
It's far more reasonable to follow somebody based on prophecy than it is to believe that white genocide is going to happen.
dan friesen
But when the two come together...
jordan holmes
Oh, it's chocolate and peanut butter, baby.
dan friesen
That's what it is.
You heard at the end of that clip, the last one, it's been a little while now, but you heard at the end of that last clip, Alex being like, oh, I'm excited, I want to hear about this prophecy.
And so he tells him more about the prophecy, and again, I can't find that prophecy with the wig.
jordan holmes
I mean...
In this again, I agree with Alex.
I am excited to hear more about this prophecy.
dan friesen
Well, Alex takes a turn in this next clip.
jordan holmes
That is such a specific prophecy!
And for it to come true, even better.
dan friesen
I don't think it's real.
Delightful.
I don't think it's real.
jordan holmes
Of course it's not real!
dan friesen
What are you talking about?
And further, when he elaborates on it, he just repeats it.
There's nothing new in it.
But Alex's interest in this prophecy is a little bit self-serving.
alex jones
I'll tell you, the reason I listen to stuff like this, there's a lot of false promises the Bible say who go out and put out this info, but people like this where it's been proven right over and over again, it's incredible.
And I personally haven't had, like, full-on deals like this, but I've had experiences, dreams, and things that came true exactly later, so that's why I know how real this stuff is.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
unidentified
Okay.
All right.
All right.
jordan holmes
So, Alex...
dan friesen
I mean, we've talked about this before.
He thinks he has prophetic dreams.
jordan holmes
I know.
dan friesen
That's nuts.
jordan holmes
He's nuts.
The idea that he goes on his radio show and is like, oh, that's a great prophecy.
Let me tell you about some of mine is fantastic.
dan friesen
I love it.
To be fair, he didn't get specific about his weird dreams.
jordan holmes
Of fucking course not.
Of course not.
dan friesen
But man, oh man.
So we've now reached the end of the Swedelander portion of the show.
jordan holmes
Thank God.
dan friesen
Alex has one more guest on the show.
And it's generally someone we don't like to talk about.
jordan holmes
PJ Dubs?
dan friesen
No, Stefan Molyneux.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
Stefan Molyneux, as we know, he's the host of Free Domain Radio, which is essentially a cult, and there are support groups of people who have had to break free of it.
As we've discussed, he encourages people to break ties with people who are abusive, subversive people, as Scientologists might say.
unidentified
Suppressive people.
dan friesen
Suppressive, yes.
The defooing, as it were.
He also, as we've played in the past, that clip where he says that women were to blame for Elliot Rodgers' attack, his shooting spree, because they didn't fuck him.
He's that sort of...
He is the worst.
jordan holmes
Hey, you want to know when my extended family knew I was born?
dan friesen
Stefan Molyneux told them?
jordan holmes
No.
Well, well after I was born.
Because they cut off all contact with my extended family.
When my family was in the cult.
dan friesen
D-Food.
jordan holmes
Nobody knew.
dan friesen
You got D-Food, baby.
jordan holmes
Nobody in my family knew that I was even there.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So, yeah.
This is going to hit home yet again.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So, he has Stefan Molyneux on to talk about a load of bullshit.
And I don't want to get into it.
I just, I mean, we're already, you know, coming in at about an hour 40 in the show.
jordan holmes
Usually our live shows are shorter than our long-form podcasts.
dan friesen
We don't have specific time to get into all the stuff.
And because Stefan Mollinger just talks a fucking mile a minute.
He's a piece of garbage.
But here, he says something that I think is really scary, and I kind of agree with, but if you understand the kind of code he's using, I agree with him.
stefan molyneux
They have missed the opportunity to crush us.
You know, you've been doing this longer than I have.
I've been doing it for about 11 years in a public sphere, many years before that in a private sphere.
Back in the day, they tried to smash me down.
Back in the day, and continually, they try to smash you down.
But it's too late.
We have become too big.
There are too many interconnected people.
There are too many networks.
There are too many freedom lovers who are supporting each other.
Now, if they try and smash people down, all they do is raise the profile.
In other words, what I'm saying is, the Liberty virus, my friends, has gone airborne.
It can no longer be contained.
And that means that it's a wonderful opportunity for everyone out there.
Please do not view the liberation of Western civilization as a spectator sport.
Do not sit there passively in your chair, thumbing your remote, and hoping that other people are going to save the world for you.
We have passed the tipping point, the Overton window.
Has gone so far now that what was impossible before has become commonplace now.
What was radical before has become commonplace now.
dan friesen
So when you take it in context and what he's talking about with the Overton window moving that far and what's radical, I mean, he's just talking about...
jordan holmes
White nationalism.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I disagree with that.
dan friesen
What do you mean?
jordan holmes
I mean, like, the idea that white nationalism is new, or that this is in any way...
dan friesen
No, no, no, it's newly acceptable.
jordan holmes
I disagree.
dan friesen
No, no, no, I think to the extent it is now...
jordan holmes
I disagree.
dan friesen
I don't think that years ago you could have a network full of mainstreamed people.
jordan holmes
I think one of the big issues that people are discovering is that one of the problems with white nationalism...
unidentified
Is that for so long, it was assumed.
jordan holmes
It wasn't something that was publicized or talked about because everybody just assumed you were a white nationalist.
Because it was such a normal thing to be.
Like, again, go back to...
dan friesen
I think there's a thin line between white nationalism and white supremacy.
jordan holmes
I mean, I disagree.
dan friesen
Fine.
jordan holmes
I disagree.
dan friesen
I think there's a geographical aspect.
jordan holmes
Okay, give me a decade in American history.
Give me a decade.
dan friesen
1850s.
jordan holmes
Alright.
White nationalism reigns supreme.
dan friesen
Scientific controllers.
jordan holmes
Yeah, sure.
I mean, like, what do you think is the most recent decade where white nationalism wasn't mainstream?
dan friesen
I don't disagree to some extent with what you're saying, but I disagree in the sense that these ideas were okay to make money off of and speak out on platforms that reached millions of people.
jordan holmes
Okay, I mean, maybe the millions of people...
dan friesen
I'm talking about the media less than the message.
jordan holmes
I mean, when?
dan friesen
Stefan Molyneux and Alex Jones would not be allowed on television in the past.
Or in the present.
Because of public decency standards.
That's why they've created their own places, their own weird corners of the internet where white supremacists and white nationalists gather and have built up their fan bases to the extent they have.
That's what I'm talking about.
unidentified
I don't know.
jordan holmes
I think historically...
Okay, fair enough.
dan friesen
I don't know.
I don't know if Walter Cronkite was a secret white nationalist.
I have no idea.
jordan holmes
Okay, that's a good point.
unidentified
But to me...
jordan holmes
One of the big problems that I have with the way that we are or maybe the way that the media is covering it now is the idea that this is some kind of explosive new issue.
dan friesen
I agree.
jordan holmes
And I would say that this is the exact same percentage of the population that has always been white nationalist.
In fact, I would say this is a lower percentage of the population that is white nationalist than it was.
20 years ago.
dan friesen
It's possible.
jordan holmes
It's just so much louder and the signal is so much more amplified because of the internet.
Not because of a greater number of the population.
Experiencing or having these feelings or leanings.
dan friesen
Let's put a pin in that for a second, because that's possible.
What I would like to more respond to, and when I said that I kind of agree with what he's saying, if you just speak in code...
unidentified
No, no, no.
jordan holmes
I understand why you said that.
dan friesen
What really got to me in that rant is the freedom virus has gone airborne.
jordan holmes
Right.
The white nationalist virus has gone airborne.
dan friesen
Well, no, because I always conceive of this globalist idea as kind of a brain virus.
The idea of the globalist, which is just anti-Semitism, is a brain virus that gets into you and you start to interpret the entire world through this prism.
And that's why you can think that the British were in charge of the entire world colonially in 1850 when that's not the reality at all.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
You pretend like, oh, it's secretly they were.
Or whatever.
Any number of examples through Alex Jones.
pretend, oh, the globalists were doing that.
Charles Manson, earlier in the episode, you can just create an entire new narrative for him based on what the globalists were secretly doing.
And to that extent, I believe Stefan Molyneux is correct.
His version of freedom lover is one who believes in archaic anti-Semitic beliefs couched in an idea of the globalists.
Because Stefan Molyneux is on that tip, too.
Or at least he isn't, as much as when he's on Alex's show he is.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
And when he's not.
dan friesen
He's an anarcho-capitalist who's a fucking mess.
jordan holmes
And again, as we have gone through over and over again, regardless of whether or not that is something that is central or specific to your otherwise point of view, if you go on Alex's show, you just agree with him and say the shit that he wants to hear in order to get your perspective a higher, you know.
A higher view count.
dan friesen
I'm not giving him any credit, because I also hate him, but I believe Anthony Cumia has said stuff to that extent.
He doesn't really buy into a lot of the bullshit.
He's a bigot, and he wants to get his voice out there.
jordan holmes
But to my point again, you know, apartheid ended...
dan friesen
94?
jordan holmes
Yeah, not long ago.
And when apartheid ended, there was a huge population in the United States who was like...
That is wrong.
There was a huge population in the United States that supported apartheid and thought, again, that it was the only way to contain and control black people's inherent urges, as if that was a thing.
dan friesen
That's even implicit in Alex's own...
unidentified
Exactly.
dan friesen
They're just going to kill each other.
jordan holmes
So to me, I think what's really new is the idea that there are so many people who are shocked by it.
To me, that's what I find to be a new development.
Interesting.
And that's part of the rewriting of the American legend, is the idea that every time we go back through our history, we rewrite how it is that we thought most people felt.
So many people in the United States now imagine themselves, were they in the 60s, they would have supported Martin Luther King Jr.
And you have to go back and remember that the polls on that...
We're far less than 30%.
So, to me, the newest idea is that people are on the side of, you're wrong.
It's just that their voices are so loud because of the internet.
dan friesen
Maybe that's the inevitable response to the mainstreaming of these voices.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
Because you have more people who are shocked and they realize, like, this has been here all along.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
It's like tearing open your wall and finding out there's mold in there or something like that.
jordan holmes
There's so many bugs escaping when you pull that rock up.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And I think that's what we're really doing, and that's why this...
Like, there's an argument to be made that I don't necessarily agree with, but it is that when these people do come out, because their signal is so loud, so many people do examine themselves and go, that is wrong.
So if you are going to say, you know, is it a...
I'm not going to argue that it's a good thing that their voices are so loud right now, but it is something that has made a lot of people who otherwise would have assumed their racism as being okay actually examine that their racism is not okay, because they see these fucking assholes doing it.
dan friesen
There's an argument to be made there.
But also, I think the other thing that I think Stefan Molyneux is correct about is the idea that there's too many interconnected networks now.
Of these people who are self-reinforcing and reinforcing each other.
jordan holmes
I agree with that.
dan friesen
If someone were to attack Stefan Molyneux, Alex would defend him, and Cernovich would defend him, and Jack Posobiec would defend him, Rebel Media, if they still even exist, or Gavin McGinnis, Laura Loomer, all of these people would come with their social media followings and try and make it the biggest story in the world.
In a way that if they weren't a team altogether, It wouldn't work.
jordan holmes
To continue my metaphor, in this regard, when you pull up that rock, all the bugs don't scatter.
They're all connected and they're ready to fight you.
dan friesen
It's a rat king.
jordan holmes
It's a rat king.
That's what we have discovered.
We have discovered a nest of rats who are fucking unified, which is terrifying.
dan friesen
It's not great.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, Stefan Molyneux can fuck himself.
But also, there's one last clip that I pulled from him, and it's fun.
Because he's stupid.
And he's trying to sound smart.
And it'll be fun to make fun of him because he's so stupid.
stefan molyneux
So the most important thing, I think, in this area, Alex, is something called the Pareto Principle, which everyone needs to become familiar with.
And the Pareto Principle goes something like this.
The square root of the number of people produces half the value of that group.
So if you've got nine people, three people are producing half the value, right?
If you have 100 people, 10 people.
If you have 10,000 people in a company, 100 people.
unidentified
I want to stop already.
dan friesen
The Pareto principle is based on the idea of the 80-20 rule, where 80% of your output comes from 20% of your input.
It was a guy in Italy...
Who was stumbling around and realized that 80% of the land was owned by 20% of the people.
And that's how he came up with this observation.
And people have universalized it in a very bad way.
jordan holmes
Right, right.
dan friesen
So it's not even about square roots.
jordan holmes
If you apply science, you go, well, that's fucking dumb.
dan friesen
Well, but even his numbers are wrong.
And he's telling everyone to get familiar with it.
You should get familiar with them all.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
stefan molyneux
Where smart people start to leave for whatever reason.
Then the smartest people leave, it means that the company productivity goes down enormously.
If you get the top 100 people leaving, okay, you still have 9,900 workers in a 10,000-worker company, but half your productivity is gone.
This is why people become rich and other people are middle class, other people are poor.
There's a bell curve of productivity.
Think of the third world.
Western civilization rests on the brains, hearts, minds, and muscle of maybe 2,000 people.
Maybe.
maybe 2,000 people who innovated, who reasoned, who took risks, who scientifically, philosophically, economically moved us all forward.
In the third world, there are a small number of people White.
world and make it into a better place.
Now, if the West comes along with the giant immigration suction machine, Whovers those people up from the third world, then if the top 1% of smart people from the third world end up in the first world, what happens?
The third world becomes catastrophically worse.
And that means the next tier of people are desperate to get out and make it to the first world.
alex jones
And then there's a milk down.
stefan molyneux
And then the third tier of people, and we end up with a complete disaster and everyone migrating to Europe.
The destruction of the welfare state, the undermining of Western civilization, all because the West could not resist the temptation of having instant taxpayers hoovered in from the third world and gave up.
dan friesen
Absolutely beautifully said on Alex's response there.
I mean, and it's fitting that he ends it with ideas about white breeding.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Because it's what it comes down to.
But, I mean, you nailed it.
The point I wanted to make is this is just washed-over Ayn Rand bullshit.
And he's even best representing the Pareto principle in order to apply it to this weird Ayn Randian vision of...
And let's really be fucking clear about this.
This idea that these hundred people at this company are responsible for half of the productivity is a cockamamie nonsense idea.
That idea, if you want to apply it on a macro scale to civilization, that only these 2,000 people are really responsible for the productivity, no, it's not.
They are the ones who are running the system wherein everyone is working super hard for nothing.
jordan holmes
You get rid of those fucking people.
Do you want to go through what really happens?
What really happens is you find out that those fucking CEOs and those fucking idiots...
They are worthless.
This is what happens when you see...
The easiest examples for that are the NBA strikes.
The owners imagine that it's because they control the league.
If the players actually have a strong union, all of a sudden you find out...
Oh, we don't actually need those fuckers at all.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
We're the ones who provide revenue, and they fucking suck blood off of it.
If you want to go by blood libel bullshit.
dan friesen
In that example, 80% is creating 80% of the productivity in the basketball team.
jordan holmes
I would argue that...
80% is creating 100% of the value.
dan friesen
No, not really, because there are all the people who are maintaining the court and running concessions.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
There's a great deal of other people who are just forgotten in his stupid fucking calculus.
jordan holmes
But I'm lumping them in with the players.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Like, that's the biggest issue.
unidentified
They wouldn't be in that union, though.
dan friesen
They'd be a different union.
jordan holmes
They should be in that union.
dan friesen
Different union.
jordan holmes
Like, the entire...
dan friesen
Concessionist union.
jordan holmes
But that gets me back again to a...
I feel like we should have a universal union at this point.
I don't give a fuck about governments.
dan friesen
Like, just a workers' union?
jordan holmes
I think we generally need a workers' union.
dan friesen
It's called socialism.
jordan holmes
Imagine if we could collectively...
dan friesen
That's kind of what that is.
jordan holmes
Imagine if we could collectively bargain with the rich.
Like, that's ostensibly what a democracy is supposed to be.
It's supposed to be a large group of people collectively bargaining with the rich.
unidentified
Well, that's one of the nice things.
jordan holmes
With what you would call the ruling class.
dan friesen
Yeah, well, I mean, that's one of the nice things that we're starting to see out of the world today is some sort of...
You know, connection between unions and them supporting each other, much in the same way that Stefan Molyneux and Alex Jones support each other.
jordan holmes
Well, the problem is we're not seeing that.
Union membership continues to fall.
dan friesen
No, but that's true.
But at the same time, there are connections being made between various unions supporting each other.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
The most recent things that I read about the AFL-CIO, which is supposed to be that...
Is that everyone is confused as to why union membership is dropping, even as they don't realize that they're not doing any outreach.
Oh, and bullying from the rich.
And the big issue within those unions often comes down to job-specific unions.
Like, pipefitters unions should strike if, you know...
dan friesen
Masons.
I mean, like, bricklayers.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no, I know.
Or the largest unions are car manufacturing unions.
Like, if the car manufacturer's union strikes, pipefitters should strike.
And all of a sudden, you start to see a lot of things change.
Like, one of the biggest issues is that as unions fall, wages fall.
And nobody fucking talks about that, which is the only thing people should fucking talk about with labor.
dan friesen
Because the talking point is so much easier that you have to pay dues and all that stuff, which is so much more of an immediate concern that people have that it makes it feel like I will make less money not looking at the long game.
It's a penny-wise pound-foolish.
jordan holmes
Every right-to-work law has led to lower wages, not just in the unions, but in the entire state.
If teachers make more money, You will wind up making more money.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
That is always the case.
dan friesen
It's a trickle around effect.
Exactly.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
When you go, top down is ineffective.
When you go bottom up, all of a sudden, people start to, wealth is no longer concentrated at the top.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Absolutely.
So, that brings us to the end of this episode.
Stefan Molyneux sucks.
I really think that there is a really interesting narrative that ran through this episode accidentally.
Right.
unidentified
And that's one of the reasons why I really needed to do the episode, even though, spoiler alert for those listening listeners, We're three days in a row.
dan friesen
Yeah, we're on a real run here.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
But the reason I needed to do it was the idea that he started with this weird apologizing for Charles Manson kind of narrative when...
The reality is that he was someone who maybe wasn't entirely motivated by racism, but had a bunch of it in him, and was a fucking crazy cult leader.
That was his game.
And then later he has this fucking South African guy who's afraid of white genocide.
There's such a weird mirror there.
unidentified
When a white man with hair that looks like a wig takes over for a black president.
jordan holmes
Fantastic.
dan friesen
Those two things, like an A and B, are insane to exist on the same show.
I don't understand why this show exists.
jordan holmes
I know.
dan friesen
It's baffling.
Our show and his show, quite frankly.
jordan holmes
We have been doing this for a year, and I still don't know how this exists, period.
dan friesen
Yeah, and how anyone listens.
I mean, I know that a lot of the audience is bots, as we've discovered on our last episode.
jordan holmes
At least half of the audience, considering the way that he described it.
dan friesen
I mean, who knows where the growth came after that?
It's possible that he had organic growth that spawned out of that.
jordan holmes
It's possible.
dan friesen
But at least, like, eight or nine million are fake.
But anyway, because this has been such a rough...
unidentified
I feel like we did an alright job of making it fun.
dan friesen
You screamed through a bit of it.
jordan holmes
I didn't scream through all of it.
dan friesen
Not all of it.
It was less than I expected.
jordan holmes
You promised that later on in the episode I would get angry, and I did not.
dan friesen
Yes, you did.
jordan holmes
Okay, I got pretty angry, but not all the way.
dan friesen
With the white people should escape?
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
You screamed for half a minute.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
Two minutes.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
But anyway, to make everyone feel better, I'd like to just end with this.
unidentified
I love this song.
Four stars.
jordan holmes
Go home and call your mother.
dan friesen
Oh, I love that song, too.
All right, Alec.
White nationalist fuck.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
dan friesen

jordan holmes
We forgot to do that up top.
dan friesen
We have a new policy wonk, but since we didn't do it up top, we've got to do it next episode.
I feel bad about that.

It's not great.
jordan holmes
That's a bad sell.
dan friesen
It's as good as I can do right now.
But beyond that, so, I mean, we've run the gamut between Ayn Rand mutators.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Cult leaders from the 60s.
jordan holmes
Union talk.
dan friesen
I'm just talking about the specific people.
jordan holmes
Dan.
dan friesen
African.
jordan holmes
Quick question.
dan friesen
White nationalist South Africans.
jordan holmes
Not good.
dan friesen
Cult leader from the 60s.
jordan holmes
Also not good.
Cult leader from the 1920s.
dan friesen
Cult leader from now.
Stefan Molyneux.
Cult leader from now, Alex Jones.
It's a bad group of people that we're talking about today.
jordan holmes
Yeah, today was rough.
Quick question.
Within our podcast dynamic, who is labor and who is management?
Should I unionize against you?
Am I not being paid enough?
dan friesen
I'm management, but I'm cool management.
I would not like...
jordan holmes
I think the issue is that neither of us are being paid enough.
unidentified
That's true.
dan friesen
I would like for you and Drafke to unionize.
And Cthulhu.
The three of you get together.
And Selene.
jordan holmes
This motherfucker, we're gonna come together.
We're gonna go on strike.
dan friesen
Oh, no.
jordan holmes
Look.
dan friesen
This is tough.

Look, every episode you've done by yourself, Cthulhu's been here.
Imagine if there was no Cthulhu.
Imagine if it was just one camera of you talking.
dan friesen
I'd put something else weird there.
I don't know what it would be, but I'd put something there.
jordan holmes
We're going to all put together.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
All right.
Your entire room, even the food that should meet to get to, we're going to unionize.
unidentified
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
This is going to be tough for me.
jordan holmes
It's going to be rough.
dan friesen
I have to pay insurance.
You guys better donate.
jordan holmes
That's our new pitch?
Jordan is unionizing with Cthulhu.
You better donate.
dan friesen
Better pitch than we've had before.
jordan holmes
That's true.
Oh, God.
You know who won't unionize, Dan?
dan friesen
That was what I was trying to get to.
jordan holmes
There we go.
dan friesen
All right.
jordan holmes
I know.
I was trying to lead you into it.
Do you want to take the reins on this one?
dan friesen
I thought you were going to because you asked me a question.
jordan holmes
I know, but I was just saying, you know, like I was leading you into it.
dan friesen
All right.
There is a guy.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
There's a guy.
There's a guy.
Notorious union buster.
jordan holmes
There's a man.
dan friesen
He got into so many union busting scraps, he lost all his teeth.
jordan holmes
Oh no!
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
He'd be out there.
He's a scab!
And he'd get his ass kicked just getting beat up.
jordan holmes
That motherfucker.
dan friesen
Just getting beat up on every picket line.
unidentified
I hate scabs.
dan friesen
And that's how he lost all his teeth.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
And now...
He unfortunately also, in one of those beatings that he took outside one of these picket lines, he lost the ability to raise his arms further than this high.
jordan holmes
Is it John McCain?
dan friesen
No, it's not.
But he can only do this high.
jordan holmes
And that means that if you wanted to hang a picture, he just couldn't get it up there.
dan friesen
And that is why, although I have sympathy for...
Your physical ailments that have come from your union-busting activity, I still must say, go fuck yourself, John Rappaport.
