Today, Dan tells Jordan all about the December 4th episode of The Alex Jones Show. The episode will live in all our memories as "that time Alex Jones tried to pretend he wanted dissenters to call in, then avoided the minimal valid criticism a caller threw his way and started to fake crying talking about masculinity." Also, Jordan screams about the tax bill.

Hello, Alex. | |
| I'm a first-time caller. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm a huge fan. | |
| I love your work. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| Hey, everybody. | ||
| Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| We are a couple dudes who like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| That's what we do today. | ||
| We're probably going to shout about a lot of other stuff, though. | ||
| Yeah, I've got a couple... | ||
| I think we've got some things that need to be shouted about. | ||
| I got a couple issues up top. | ||
| Boy, today was garbage. | ||
| Today was fucking garbage, Dan. | ||
| Not great. | ||
| Anyways. | ||
| Hey, not great in all of the same ways that we've been complaining about for a year now. | ||
| It seems as though maybe there's a theme about how this is officially, by scale, the single worst government in the United States in history. | ||
| I'm going to call it now. | ||
| I think it goes far beyond that. | ||
| But be that as it may, I know a lot about Alex Jones. | ||
| I don't know anything about Alex Jones. | ||
| That's the theme of the show. | ||
| Today we're drinking Mountain Dew Kickstart. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| You took the black cherry and I took the midnight grape and I regret allowing you to take the black cherry. | ||
| You all listening missed a fervent debate about whether or not grape is a fake flavor before the show. | ||
| It was not. | ||
| Don't need to rehash on me. | ||
| It was not fervent. | ||
| It was fervent. | ||
| It simply happened. | ||
| Today, Jordan, we're going to be going over the December 4th. | ||
| It also got into the existentialism of all flavors and whether or not they are real. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Continue. | ||
| Whether or not they depict the reality. | ||
| Or a manufactured reality the globalists have put in front of us. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I've already interrupted you. | ||
| Drink. | ||
| Anyway, today we're going over the December 4th, 2017 episode, which is Monday, if you're nasty. | ||
| Today's kind of... | ||
| It's a little interesting. | ||
| Some weird stuff happens, and I'm fucking tired of giving that introduction. | ||
| Quite frankly. | ||
| Seems like you're giving that introduction a lot. | ||
| Every single episode, something weird happens. | ||
| Some weird shit happens. | ||
| So we'll get into that here in a second, and we'll complain about the things we need to complain about, but in order to start us off... | ||
| I don't want to complain about it, I want to... | ||
| Incite people to violent action. | ||
| I should not have phrased it that way. | ||
| That's an actionable crime, isn't it? | ||
| See, I say complain. | ||
| That's an issue, isn't it? | ||
| This may be why I'm in trouble all the time. | ||
| Might be. | ||
| But to start things off on a fun, decent note, I'd like to play an out-of-context drop from today's episode. | ||
| I mean, I found out that I've known people for years... | ||
| What a shock. | ||
| What a shock. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What would they have to badmouth him about? | ||
| I'm guessing it's not friends. | ||
| I'm guessing it's acquaintances who are like, yeah, Trump's great. | ||
| I'm guessing that's what it is. | ||
| Furthermore, it could just be people who say they're libertarian and are actually libertarians. | ||
| Oh yeah, that's possible too. | ||
| As opposed to somebody who says he's a libertarian and is actually a conservative fuckface. | ||
| And is part of basically a messianic cult around a big old racist fuck. | ||
| Hey, we believe in less government oversight and this guy over here thinks that... | ||
| Chimeras are real. | ||
| So, I mean... | ||
| And demons and stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Not great. | ||
| No, you're a liberal. | ||
| I like your stance. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| On some things. | ||
| Also, to start things off on a positive note, I'd like to give a shout-out to a new foreign policy wonk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Which is a real thrill. | ||
| Thank you for bumping up the donations, Mike W. I'm a policy wonk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Four stars. | |
| Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant. | ||
| We appreciate it very much. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| If you'd like to become a... | ||
| I'm so disappointed when people aren't globalists. | ||
| Like, I want to hear the end of the... | ||
| It's so ungracious because Mike W., fuck yeah, thank you so much. | ||
| At the same time, now raise it up one more cent so we get to play globalists. | ||
| It's only one more cent. | ||
| I'm not sure that's exactly how it goes. | ||
| I think that's how it works. | ||
| Be that as it may. | ||
| I'm trying to get around the system. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| I'm actually going to give Mike W. a globalist position. | ||
| Not for a penny, but because it's merited. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| You're officially a globalist. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Four stars. | |
| Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant. | ||
| Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop. | ||
| Daddy Shark. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a globalist. | ||
| I think it's because it suggests that somebody sent him a bag of poop. | ||
| Every time. | ||
| And it was Daddy Shark who did it. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Daddy Shark grew legs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's how Daddy Shark poops as well. | |
| Daddy Land Shark. | ||
| Beautiful. | ||

| Anyway, so today. | ||
| Dan. | ||
| Monday. | ||
| Today. | ||
| There's a couple things that are weighing heavy on my heart. | ||
| The day that Native American genocide continues further on. | ||
| Well, Alex Jones would have you know that actually that is just Trump undoing an unconstitutional land grab. | ||
| Not how that works. | ||
| It has to do with the Bundy people. | ||
| That's not how that works either. | ||
| That whole mentality. | ||
| The taking back of lands and stuff. | ||
| No! | ||
| Right. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| No! | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I'm angry! | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So what else you got? | ||
| God, so many things. | ||
| Today was such shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, everything is bad. | ||
| Like, Roy Moore is gonna win. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Totally. | |
| We've been saying he's gonna win, but now he's gonna win. | ||
| He's gonna win. | ||
| Like, and it's insane amount. | ||
| The people who are pushing this fucking tax bill on us are then turning around. | ||
| Like, fucking Orrin Hatch. | ||
| God, if somebody could shove something so far up Orrin Hatch's ass, it comes straight out through his mouth, and then he gets lit on fire afterwards. | ||
| Shoves something up his Orrin Hatch? | ||
| Like a Dungeons and Dragons flaming sword straight up through his fucking ass. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Politically. | |
| Like Dawnbreaker. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Politically. | |
| Politically. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He's a fucking tone-deaf piece of shit. | ||
| And the Democrats are fucking worthless. | ||
| I'm done. | ||
| I'm done. | ||
| They are fucking worthless. | ||
| Sam Seder got fucking... | ||
| Liberals are pussies, Dan. | ||
| That's why we're losing. | ||
| Liberals are pussies. | ||
| They'll cave into fucking anything. | ||
| Gigantic pussies. | ||
| We should all fucking quit. | ||
| This is caveman bullshit. | ||
| We're in caveman. | ||
| Oh, the strong fucking survive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fuck! | |
| I'm going to blink three times to let the room know that I'm being held hostage. | ||
| All right. | ||
| If you want to know more of Jordan's thoughts about tech stuff, go check out... | ||
| Check out his blog on knowledgefight.com. | ||
| Wherein I say we have about a month left and if we don't, I'll sack up and get our torches and fucking pitchforks ready. | ||
| And goddammit, fuck the Koch brothers. | ||
| We have negative time, but it won't fall apart within a month. | ||
| But we have negative time until what we need to have done is done. | ||
| I think maybe the problem with the French Revolution that we can really correct, right? | ||
| Is they only chopped off the heads. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Like, what they should have done is chop them up into little sections starting at the bottom. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And just see how long they survive through that whole thing. | ||
| Well, it's because they're demons. | ||
| Well, exactly. | ||
| Literal demons. | ||
| Literal demons. | ||
| You can't just take off the head of a demon. | ||
| You need to cut them into bisected little pieces. | ||
| I think the problem is they're figurative demons and human beings are garbage. | ||
| And that all lives within all of us. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So you mentioned Sam Seder, and I want to talk about this a tiny bit. | ||
| For everyone who doesn't know, Sam Seder today was fired by MSNBC as a contributor because Mike Cernovich... | ||
| Because of Mike fucking Cernovich! | ||
| Because Mike Cernovich and his ilk dug up a tweet that he had from 2009 wherein he says that he hopes his daughter is raped by Roman Polanski because he wants his daughter to be raped by someone... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that is funny. | ||
| I mean, it's funny and it's indicative of outrage at people excusing the behavior of Roman Planski because he's an artist. | ||
| It's called a joke. | ||
| It's very obvious. | ||
| It's literal satire. | ||
| It's very, very obvious. | ||
| And I like the outpouring of support that I've seen on Twitter from people like Marc Maron and people who have a voice in an independent platform. | ||
| But the very idea that MSNBC would go along with this is a very, very bad sign. | ||
| That Mike Cernovich... | ||
| I don't know if it was individually him, but I know he was involved. | ||
| I don't fucking care. | ||
| Right. | ||
| If Mike Cernovich does anything, every single media outlet should be like, okay, well, let's disregard this entirely. | ||
| I think the uniform response should be an eye roll and a... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, fuck you. | ||
| This fucking guy. | ||
| A guy who's a regular contributor to Infowars got an MSNBC guy fired. | ||
| And someone... | ||
| Fuck you. | ||
| Someone who Cernovich would be very scared to speak to. | ||
| Because, I mean, say whatever you want. | ||
| Say he's too liberal or whatever. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know what anyone's complaint would be. | ||
| Sam Seder's a fucking genius. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And, uh... | ||
| He can hold his own in debates on policy and on all sorts of things. | ||
| So the very idea that Mike Cernovich would be too cowardly to discuss this with him and instead take this sort of a route is kind of exactly against the things they pretend they're under attack about all the fucking time. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Oh, are you saying that hypocrisy doesn't actually fucking mean anything? | ||
| No, but it's an effective tool for them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| But the other thing, the reason that I'm bringing it up is because we need to be very, very scared. | ||
| About what this portents. | ||
| And that is, and I think we probably had examples of this in the past, but it's coming down now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anything you said. | ||
| No, these people on the other side, these alt-right fucks and what have you, have gotten a pretty good system together for suppressing people's speech. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And you need to be very careful about that. | ||
| And getting away with murder. | ||
| Who's getting away with murder? | ||
| Charlottesville. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I guess they're getting away with that, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| No, that one guy, I mean, he got arrested, right? | ||
| I don't give a shit. | ||
| The whole movement is fucking responsible for that shit. | ||
| All right, fine. | ||
| They're all fucking guilty. | ||
| Yeah, fair enough. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm done. | |
| I'm done. | ||
| The other thing I wanted to bring up was a little article I ran into this morning in my goings over of the news. | ||
| And this is an article out of tablet.com, tablet magazine. | ||
| And I checked into it, and this is absolutely true. | ||
| And the headline for Alex, in case you don't want to hear anything from the article, is In Russia, an old anti-Semitic blood libel gains political traction. | ||
| Hey, I've heard that before. | ||
| A bishop close to Putin claims Tsar Nicholas II may have been killed in a ritual slaying, a century-old canard blaming the Jews for... | ||
| I've heard of that one! | ||
| Right. | ||
| And the reason that this is very important and we should be very worried about is because this is more indicative of why Alex and the Russians are very in line philosophically and very in line. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anti-Semitism. | |
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And when you look at the things that Alex talks about, about how the Russians are waking up and why he's like, they're on the right side of things, he generally mentions like, they talk about how there's poison in the vaccines. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's a well-poisoning type narrative. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There we go. | |
| And it's really, really scary because this isn't just some crazy cleric guy or something saying this. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He's a guy who's very closely aligned with Putin. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| He's a very high-ranking bishop in the Russian Orthodox Church. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| His name is Shevkunov. | ||
| Tikhon Shevkunov. | ||
| And so what he did is he brought this up. | ||
| He brought up this idea that the Jews ritualistically killed Tsar Nicholas in a sense, in a ritualistic ceremony that was needed in order to usher in Bolshevism, which is an idea that a lot of people have... | ||
| You know, spread in years since then. | ||
| It is a popular idea among crazies and anti-Semites. | ||
| And the thing that's really scary is this next line. | ||
| Following Shevkunov's comments, the powerful investigative committee, Russia's equivalent of the FBI, quickly announced that it would take part in such an investigation of alleged ritual killing. | ||
| So. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey! | |
| Welcome to 27th fucking Teen. | ||
| Awesome! | ||
| When we talk about these things, these ideas that Alex Jones presents, these narratives that he has and what's behind them, what we need to realize is the reason that we're talking about Alex Jones is because he's at least slightly entertaining. | ||
| And on top of that, he's a really easy to cut through and disprove asshole. | ||
| But that doesn't mean that there aren't... | ||
| People in the world who believe the same things as him that are much more dangerous. | ||
| Yeah, it'd be terrible if it was the president and people near him. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It would be awful. | ||
| This is a 101-type situation in terms of what's motivating a lot of the... | ||
| And a lot of Trump supporters who don't even realize these things are what's motivating them. | ||
| They've been duped entirely. | ||
| And so, uh... | ||
| Well, so many of them think that they're not fucking racist. | ||
| Like, the whole... | ||
| Ultimately, if you voted for Trump, it's because of race. | ||
| That's what it is. | ||
| It's because of race and the complete and utter failure of neoliberalism. | ||
| That's probably true. | ||
| I mean, it's a mix, and there are certain other little pieces that are factored in. | ||
| But yeah, generally, I don't want to argue on it. | ||
| So let's get to today's episode, December 4th. | ||
| There's going to be something that happens that I think you'll like. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But first. | ||
| That's nice. | ||
| I could use a thing I like today. | ||
| So, the episode starts with Alex complaining a whole bunch about that guy, Peter Ross, I believe, from ABC, who reported that he had a source that was telling him that Flynn was asked by Trump to get in touch with Russia. | ||
| The guy who got suspended from ABC for being slightly wrong. | ||
| Or for being entirely wrong about this one piece of information. | ||
| Whereas if he worked at a different media outlet, he would not just have been not suspended, probably would have gotten a fucking raise. | ||
| Let's remember the times that Alex Jones has gotten things wrong, let's say in terms of the Hamdi Ulukaya Chobani yogurt situation. | ||
| He got sued for slander and had to make a public apology and then immediately started saying, I wasn't really wrong. | ||
| He was. | ||
| He was very much wrong. | ||
| So he's complaining about that a bit, but he gets sidetracked by someone else in pop culture, and that takes him off on a weird... | ||
| David Jones? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Not David Bowie? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| I wish my dad would live forever. | ||
| It's just crazy, but they don't care. | ||
| They're the globalists. | ||
| They're the outside power, and they're getting ready to try to remove the president. | ||
| So here's Joy Behar. | ||
| Here's Joy Behar celebrating the disinfo that they're sharing. | ||
| Three days later, still on the internet, they don't care. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Welcome back to the show. | |
| Breaking news. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Oh, breaking news. | ||
| ABC News' Brian Ross is reporting Michael Flynn promised full cooperation to the Mueller team and is prepared to testify that as a candidate, Donald Trump directed him to make contact with the Russians! | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| We're going to destroy the recovery. | ||
| We're going to arrest the president. | ||
| We're going to have a civil war. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| We're gonna destroy America! | ||
| Still going, huh? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| Woo! | ||
| Yeah! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
| You're really ruining this song for me. | ||
| Yeah, and then he goes out to commercial. | ||
| He just goes out to commercial. | ||
| First of all, fantastic analysis. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| Second, this is Monday's episode of his show. | ||
| They did that on Friday, and then people made retractions. | ||
| I don't know if The View did. | ||
| I don't really care. | ||
| Who gives a fuck about The View? | ||
| They're not a hard-hitting news outlet, first of all. | ||
| And then, second of all, she's saying that Brian Ross is reporting that. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| She didn't lie. | ||
| Now, it would be great, I don't know, because I don't watch The Fucking View, if they, on Monday's episode, said, we got it wrong, we got bad information from ABC, you know, please don't, or whatever. | ||
| But if you Google... | ||
| The Flynn, Brian Ross, whatever. | ||
| It's all people being like, ABC got it wrong. | ||
| Offington Post, ABC got it wrong. | ||
| Every single outlet has made it clear, like, yeah, we reported that he reported that, but also now we're reporting that he was wrong. | ||
| I don't think the people, I don't think The View should issue a retraction. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Because did you hear how happy... | ||
| They're thrilled. | ||
| They were so happy. | ||
| What's great, too, is if you watch the video, a couple of people at the desk, not thrilled. | ||
| Because they have their conservative people. | ||
| I don't think Elizabeth Hasselbeck is still there. | ||
| My friend from Survivor, season two. | ||
| But they still have their conservative voices, and they're just sitting there like, harumph. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Fucking good. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But the crowd loved it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I wish I could live in that moment where it's like, what? | ||
| We're finally going to get him? | ||
| Hooray! | ||
| And if they retract him, then the sad groan would be just as long. | ||
| You know how everybody was clapping for 45 fucking seconds? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't want to hear a groan that lasts that long. | ||
| That's half of our show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Burrito in the chat, my favorite season of Survivor was season two. | ||
| That one was great. | ||
| I loved Chicken Joe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Liberal! | |
| Liberal! | ||
| Chicken Joe was not a liberal, I don't think. | ||
| His name was Chicken Joe. | ||
| Chicken Joes are, generally speaking, not progressive. | ||
| It was a great season, season two, and they're in Australia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Anyway, let's move along. | ||
| This next clip, Alex is complaining that no one will retract the story. | ||
| The one that was retracted almost immediately? | ||
| And somebody actually got fired for it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Gotcha. | ||
| He was suspended. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He wasn't fired. | |
| Fake names. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| I gave out fake names. | ||
| You need to retract that comment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
White! | |
| Alex has been trying to troll everybody with the white Christmas and pretending that it's like, oh, it's racist. | ||
| Everyone thinks it's racist. | ||
| So he's playing that because he thinks he's going to piss people off and everyone just doesn't care. | ||
| I don't really care. | ||
| Or instead of trolling, it's more like, yeah, no, you're racist, regardless of the song. | ||
| It has nothing to do with the song. | ||
| So who fucking cares what song you're playing? | ||
| Right, right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Play fucking DM. | ||
| You know, we've got a Christmas message from the president that upset a lot of Democrats over the weekend. | ||
| They're so bigoted, they're so anti-Christian, that even the Germanic traditions, the Tannenbaum and things, they want that type of stuff banned. | ||
| Kill yourself. | ||
| Obviously, and tell kids they can't hand out Christmas cards at public schools because there's a separation of church and state. | ||
| No, the... | ||
| Schools shouldn't have an official religion, but you can hand out whatever you want. | ||
| So these are authoritarian dirtbags who want to shut down free speech across the board, but they're failing. | ||
| And people like Joy Behar last week, the Huffington Post, and hundreds of other publications will not retract their reports about her. | ||
| Celebrating the fake news that Flynn was ordered to meet with the Russians before the president was elected. | ||
| Which could be some type of collusion, perhaps. | ||
| The only reason I left that in is Alex did admit there that it's collusion if you did it before. | ||
| So let's hope something does come out eventually that they were, because then, Alex, you just admitted that's collusion. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I like the idea that he's trying to present that it's all just that they're mad about Christmas and all this stuff. | ||
| He's trying to play that sort of card. | ||
| I've never heard anti-Christmas fervor. | ||
| From anybody? | ||
| Like, atheists? | ||
| I can't think of any time. | ||
| I've heard mostly anti-Christmas stuff from Christians who are like, it's too commercial. | ||
| That's the most aggressive criticism I've ever seen. | ||
| It's about Jesus. | ||
| It's not about gift-giving. | ||
| And stuff like that. | ||
| I've never heard one of my trendy, liberal friends be like, you know what? | ||
| Fuck Christmas. | ||
| Because we should celebrate Kwanzaa. | ||
| Actually, you know what? | ||
| Fuck Christmas. | ||
| We should celebrate Mithras Day. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| The actual holiday about the actual guy. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Because Jesus is bullshit. | ||
| Well, but, like, the only argument that anybody makes is, like, other people have other holidays. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Be cool. | ||
| Maybe don't be a dick about Christmas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Be cool. | |
| How about that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Be cool. | ||
| What drives me insane is this is such one of those moments. | ||
| Where you see the disparity of the liberal, the progressive bent cannot make any mistake. | ||
| Right. | ||
| The conservative bent can make all the mistakes. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, Sam Seder made a not even mistake. | ||
| No, it wasn't a mistake. | ||
| Eight years ago. | ||
| It was nothing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Mike Cernovich has fucking put out horrible tweets. | |
| Mike Cernovich got people fucking shot at! | ||
| Yeah, he's pretended that he didn't be involved in Pizzagate. | ||
| No, there's archived... | ||
| No, it's this, and it's the trick that we fall into, right? | ||
| We are holding ourselves to the standard of... | ||
| We have to deal with reality. | ||
| Yeah, that's a problem. | ||
| And the conservatives are holding themselves to the standard of, reality's bullshit, we don't even need to worry about that. | ||
| That's what I was saying when we were talking right at the beginning of this. | ||
| Hypocrisy is a tool. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, it's a function, not a bug or whatever. | ||
| Right, it's a feature, yeah. | ||
| It's intentional. | ||
| I mean, I kind of, if it didn't hurt and destroy public... | ||
| Discourse and public credibility and trust, I would be like, that is an amazing trick. | ||
| I mean, hey, maybe let's do that. | ||
| Have we considered that? | ||
| I don't know how. | ||
| Like, okay, what if we just lied all the time? | ||
| Okay, let's try. | ||
| Give me something to lie about. | ||
| We're doing this wrong already. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| If we all adopt socialism, then everybody will get healthcare. | ||
| And NONC will come back to life. | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| Alex, what could be better than bringing NONC back to life? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Socialism is known to bring dogs back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Socialism does that. | |
| That you may have murdered. | ||
| Hey, if you think globalists have med beds and you want them to be released throughout the world, we'll do it for you. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Adopt socialism. | ||
| Everyone gets med beds. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know... | |
| What's that other guy's name? | ||
| Kramer. | ||
| Randy Kramer. | ||
| I know Randy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I know Randy Kramer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He's got the med beds. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| He's got a Kickstarter for it. | ||
| Fuck it. | ||
| You guys want Raptors? | ||
| We'll throw Raptors in there, too. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| This is a President's Day sale of lies. | ||
| That's what's going on right here. | ||
| This is the Easter sale. | ||
| Okay, you're right. | ||
| It's only December. | ||
| We are extending those lies. | ||
| Free shipping on the med beds, too. | ||
| Who would take a bath on that? | ||
| They're heavy. | ||
| You put in auto-ship on top of that, we'll give you a 5% extra discount. | ||
| Can't come up with why you'd need two med beds ever, but one might. | ||
| Who wouldn't need two med beds? | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| What are you saying? | ||
| Are you trying to tear apart the family? | ||
| Yeah, I guess. | ||
| You need at least four med beds. | ||
| Socialism is about destroying the family. | ||
| Oh, no! | ||
| Damn it! | ||
| We're shitty at lying! | ||
| I told you, I'm lying. | ||
| So, you might think that Alex is going to get off this topic and get back to something that matters. | ||
| No, I think he's going to stay on Joey Behar till we all die. | ||
| Boy, what a prediction. | ||
| So here's Joy Behar, Merry Christmas, celebrating the lie. | ||
| Oh, and the producer walks out hands with a card and says we've got breaking news. | ||
| Yeah, more fake news that now their low information voters are still sharing this. | ||
| Still sharing all the celebration clips. | ||
| I'd like to take just a quick second to imagine what level of nonsense Alex's audience is sharing. | ||
| That's debunked and not true. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I mean, we don't have time, but just imagine. | ||
| Just imagine. | ||
| I like that he thinks that... | ||
| Who cares about... | ||
| Like, you're getting... | ||
| Even in your anger, you're wrong. | ||
| Who cares if low-information voters hear that the president might be... | ||
| Because he wants the low-information people. | ||
| No, I mean, not just that, but like... | ||
| It's like, low-information is my game! | ||
| But that information doesn't affect votes! | ||
| No. | ||
| That information is like, oh, we can all breathe a sigh of relief. | ||
| It's not like, well, I guess I'll vote against him. | ||
| Like, everybody who's happy is already voting against him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You're not going to change low-information voters by being like, yeah, you know that crime we all know the president committed? | ||
| He committed it! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whee! | |
| Yeah. | ||
| When they cuss at you on the street, you go, hey, that's fake. | ||
| Oh, shut up, Russian! | ||
| You're going to prison! | ||
| Hey, actually, that's not true. | ||
| Shut up! | ||
| I'll throw hot coffee on you! | ||
| I'm going to tell you F off! | ||
| The one time a liberal wasn't a pussy. | ||
| But also he antagonized that dude. | ||
| It's not like he was just walking around and the guy's like, hey, I want to throw some hot coffee on you. | ||
| He was like being a dick to him. | ||
| If you see a rich person in a nice suit, throw coffee on him. | ||
| And the guy threw coffee on him after the dude who threw the coffee clearly watched him chase somebody down. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or at least, you know, anyway. | ||
| Hey, did you press charges, Alex? | ||
| No. | ||
| So shut the fuck up. | ||
| No. | ||
| I'm a god. | ||
| We're gonna screw the country over. | ||
| You got it, Jones? | ||
| You got it, Trump? | ||
| You got it, America? | ||
| We don't want the facts. | ||
| Here's Joy Behar. | ||
| Play it again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, my God. | |
| Oh, breaking news. | ||
| ABC News' Brian Ross is reporting Michael Flynn promised full cooperation to the Mueller team. | ||
| Well, he's been on The View. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And is prepared to testify that as a candidate, Donald Trump directed him to make contact with the Russians. | |
| T.T. has better analysis this time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| Yes! | ||
| He goes, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm hearing nothing. | |
| Wow! | ||
| Thank you! | ||
| I think he's just I think he just doesn't understand genuine human happiness, so he's listening to it like a robot, trying to be like, okay, what does that sound like? | ||
| Well, let's see. | ||
| He's coming back with some analysis here. | ||
| Celebrating, even if it was true, celebrating wild-eyed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But none of it is. | |
| And that's what they do. | ||
| They celebrate hoaxes. | ||
| And the low-information voters celebrate being manipulated and lied to. | ||
| And they're upset the economy's roaring back. | ||
| They're upset optimism's roaring back. | ||
| They're upset small businesses are coming back. | ||
| They're upset! | ||
| What are they going to do to fly over country if it can't be bankrupted and controlled? | ||
| And here's what they're really upset about. | ||
| Again, the president, Melania, with one of their Christmas messages on Friday, by throughout the weekend, there was just, this is bigoted. | ||
| This is hateful. | ||
| Obama only said holidays. | ||
| Trump said Christmas. | ||
| This is a cult trying to tell us what words to use and overthrow traditionalism. | ||
| Yep, what do you got? | ||
| So what this is all really about is that Trump and Melania, which, by the way, he definitely makes sure that it's not Melania Trump, it's... | ||
| Donald Trump and then Melania. | ||
| He's already said that he has information that Trump fucks around. | ||
| Yeah, well, of course Trump fucks. | ||
| They have an understanding. | ||
| If he still can. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So this is all about Christmas. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's what this... | ||
| Everyone cheering for the eventual impeachment and hopefully felony conviction and hung by the neck until dead Trump is because he said... | ||
| Merry Christmas. | ||
| Well, and the liberals and the globalists are scared of the power that saying Merry Christmas has, and therefore they're pissed off that he's bringing this tradition back. | ||
| And to that... | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| I buy that. | ||
| To that I say, when I was a young man, I didn't think it could get... | ||
| You dabbled in witchcraft. | ||
| No. | ||
| In Merry Christmas-based witchcraft. | ||
| I read some books. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah? | |
| Read some Crowley. | ||
| You did a little dabbling. | ||
| But be that as it may, I didn't think it could be more pathetic than Fox News' handling of the idea of a war on Christmas. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I really thought that that was some shameful, desperate, fear-mongering cash grab. | ||
| Sad. | ||
| When we talked about, a second ago, we talked about the Christian complaint that I had always heard about Christmas was that, you know, it's over-commercialized, getting rid of the reason for the season, and what have you. | ||
| And when you take that to its logical extent, obviously scamming your audience is just commercially based. | ||
| Seems like it. | ||
| So all of the War on Christmas ideas is not, it's not, like, it's. | ||
| It's cannibals. | ||
| It's literally the worst version of getting outside of the reason for the season. | ||
| And so, I mean, Alex is probably... | ||
| Behaving in what I would describe as the least Christian way. | ||
| What's amazing to me is that that segment producer who came up with that idea is not a billionaire. | ||
| Like back in Fox News days? | ||
| Yeah, because that has resonated so much. | ||
| Like, he should have gotten at least 150% raise, right? | ||
| Right. | ||
| I mean, think about how that's... | ||
| It makes me think of that episode on The Wire where D 'Angelo is talking about the guy who invented the chicken nugget. | ||
| Yeah, didn't get shit. | ||
| Yeah, that sort of thing. | ||
| Pathetic. | ||
| Yeah, it's too bad. | ||
| Anyway, this is about where we leave the Joy Behar segment of the show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you sure? | |
| And I should tell you, it's about the first half hour or so. | ||
| I was going to say, there's no way it was just a couple of clips. | ||
| No, he makes hay out of it. | ||
| There's no doubt about that. | ||
| And then, towards the end of the first hour, there's a bunch of rambling, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| But towards the end of the first hour, he does something that I got... | ||
| Pretty excited about when I heard it. | ||
| I should also tell you, I'm pretty sure he's drunk. | ||
| I'm pretty sure he's drinking. | ||
| Because at one point... | ||
| Because after the Flynn news came down, he was like, I better start getting ready for the eventual drunk that's going to last a month. | ||
| A little bit later in the episode, I did hear him, that sound that sounds like ice clinking together, like a highball or something like that. | ||
| And it happened to, again, happen exactly when they had the other image up on screen. | ||
| The, like, let's go to the caller image so there's no video on him, and it sounds like he's slurping a drink. | ||
| Could be a big gulp. | ||
| Yeah, it could be, but his behavior gets pretty weird. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Filled with vodka? | |
| His behavior is weird. | ||
| But before we get to that, let's say I had high hopes when I heard this. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And we'll see what your response is. | ||
| So here's the toll-free number to join us, 877-789-ALEX, 877-789-2539, and people that disagree will go to the head of the line, 877-789-2539. | ||
| First-time callers, by the way. | ||
| Agree? | ||
| Disagree? | ||
| You're welcome. | ||
| I want to hear from you, 877-789-2539. | ||
| And please, I don't want any joke callers, okay, that call up and act like they're a liberal. | ||
| There are real ones out there. | ||
| Some of them can actually form sentences. | ||
| On the street, all they say is, F you, we're going to get you Russian agent. | ||
| Well, I'm trying to give those folks a chance to call in person to person and actually on a platform. | ||
| First of all, there's no one there now. | ||
| There's no one who's going to be answering the hotline. | ||
| It's 7.30. | ||
| They don't do the nightly news live. | ||
| I'm sure they don't have an answering machine. | ||
| What if they do? | ||
| Ugh. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| It's in there. | ||
| It's in there. | ||
| I think it's just going to keep ringing. | ||
| At least it's in there. | ||
| I got it in my phone. | ||
| Let's finish the clip. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because nowhere Owen Schroer goes, nowhere Millie Weaver goes, or any of our reporters on the street, 99% of these people will not... | ||
| Talk to us. | ||
| They will not discuss anything with us. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| They have no intellectual argument. | ||
| Well, here's your chance to prove me wrong. | ||
| So, first of all, the premise there at the end, everywhere I go, no one will talk to me. | ||
| I wonder why that is. | ||
| I have an alternative explanation other than they have no intellectual argument. | ||
| I would pause it. | ||
| Let's role play. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Should I be Alex or you? | ||
| No, I'll be Alex. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Hey, how do you feel about the... | ||
| Impending tax bill! | ||
| Hey, go fuck yourself. | ||
| Fair. | ||
| That's probably how it all ends up going. | ||
| We've seen him do man-on-the-street shit. | ||
| He chases down people in Seattle. | ||
| Or even more likely, just be like... | ||
| He screamed cupcake at that lady when he was drunk on the streets. | ||
| I have to get to work, and I don't have time to get into this shit with you. | ||
| And like I said, I think in one of our first episodes, we were discussing what would happen if I saw Alex Jones in the wild. | ||
| My response was, I'd probably throw up. | ||
| Just from like... | ||
| Because it's like... | ||
| I'm such a huge fan! | ||
| It's not that. | ||
| It's a realization that he's real, kind of, to some extent. | ||
| I listen to this shit every day, and like... | ||
| I still don't really believe that he's corporeal. | ||
| Yeah, you think he's like a Wizard of Oz situation? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's like a robot or something like that, because it's just too ridiculous. | |
| The idea that someone lives in this much of a deceitful headspace is terrifying. | ||
| I was walking around earlier today. | ||
| I absorbed all the news and what have you. | ||
| Just the various things. | ||
| Some of the stuff we talked about at the beginning of the show. | ||
| Other stuff, like with the Supreme Court, saying that the travel ban is possibly okay. | ||
| Hey, great! | ||
| Thanks, guys, for Neil Gorsuch. | ||
| That fucking pile of shit who can go fuck out. | ||
| How many flaming swords do we have? | ||
| We need more. | ||
| But, like, the... | ||
| Spells out for the future. | ||
| I was walking around and I almost broke down in tears just walking down the street, which is fairly uncommon for me, but a Christian Scott song came on my random playlist and it hit a nerve. | ||
| No, I don't want that part. | ||
| Should I strike that from the record? | ||
| I was like, you got me emotionally because I was very struck by the same thing. | ||
| And then you said Christian Scott and I was like, oh, am I a pussy now too? | ||
| Do I have to? | ||
| Tamp down my emotions like the good Irishman that I was? | ||
| The point I was trying to get at is I know what effect this is having on me. | ||
| Dwelling in the world of Alex Jones and listening to him regularly. | ||
| There are so many people who listen to him regularly and I can't imagine how it's not affecting them. | ||
| I was trying to get myself into I don't know if I'm articulating this well, but the thought that I had was like, what must it be like to think this is right? | ||
| Or think this is real? | ||
| Or think that anything that he's saying is true and not just trying to sell you shit? | ||
| Absorbing that hatred, absorbing that, again, just repackaged anti-Semitic canards. | ||
| What kind of toll does that take on you if it's taking this kind of a toll on me? | ||
| And I'm keenly aware of what I'm listening to and deconstructing it and fighting back against it. | ||
| It's horrifying. | ||
| I think you are going about it the exact opposite direction. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Erection? | |
| Did I say erection? | ||
| I think you did. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| I think you're going about it. | ||
| I think you have an innie erection is what you're doing. | ||
| I have a convex bone. | ||
| The exact opposite direction. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's too much empathy. | ||
| Because if you are stupid and angry, which you have to be to listen to him in this regard, you can't be... | ||
| I think that you're wrong. | ||
| I disagree. | ||
| I mean, obviously I disagree. | ||
| I just put forth the exact opposite idea of what you just said, and I hold by it. | ||
| Well, the reason that I think you're wrong is I think that you become stupid and angry. | ||
| And maybe you're stupid to begin with. | ||
| But I think that people get, like, I know that for me, when I first listened to Alex Jones a little bit, or our friend Marty DeRosa, when he listened to Alex, some listeners who I've talked to who used to listen to him, who aren't idiots, one of the reasons that you do is because a lot of the conspiracy stuff is pretty stupid. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's some stuff that's pretty interesting in the idea of forbidden knowledge and the idea of like an alternative explanation of so many things that seem unexplainable. | |
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The insinuation of someone who knows truth is very alluring and you start I think by degrees you could end up becoming dumber and angrier because... | |
| Those narratives hook you and you don't realize it. | ||
| Okay, let me go back. | ||
| I use stupid in the wrong way. | ||
| What I meant is naive in the classical sense. | ||
| Because there is no... | ||
| Because like with our friends who have listened before, naive is not something that you can gain. | ||
| Naive is something that you only move away from. | ||
| So anybody who is listening to Alex Jones and believing in that stuff is naive, and they have not grown away from it. | ||
| Just like I don't begrudge anybody who... | ||
| Like, it's not that you're stupid if you listen to Alex Jones. | ||
| You're stupid if you continue to believe Alex Jones. | ||
| Right, but I think that there is a piece of his marketing operation, quite frankly, and his bigotry machine, which work in tandem and they're inextricable. | ||
| But I... | ||
| New... | ||
| Product for Knowledge Fight Line. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| Bigotry Machine. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It's like the cow goes moo. | ||
| It's just racist versions of that one. | ||
| Or that's the name of our new Shredcore band. | ||
| But those things, one of the features of how it has to work is you have to instill in your audience a sense of... | ||
| acquired and reinforced naivete. | ||
| Like, you need that to sustain, because if you lose that naivete, you start to read articles. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you start to say, like, oh, this is stupid. | |
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or you start to ask questions of, like, shout out to the chat room, Nick, my old Christian scotter, All right. | |
| I had to undercut my own point. | ||
| I was getting too serious. | ||
| I'm very angry with you. | ||
| Anyway, let's move on to this next clip where Alex again. | ||
| Christian Scott, man. | ||
| I was young. | ||
| Anyway, I was naive. | ||
| I didn't ask a lot of questions. | ||
| Now you've grown. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So in this next clip, we get to hear more about how Alex is going. | ||
| But before we do that, sorry, real quick. | ||
| Just my point being in regards to that. | ||
| Naivete is something that you can tamp down and you can force to maintain. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It is not something that can be... | ||
| Like, you can't go towards it. | ||
| You can only go away from it. | ||
| Do you know what I mean? | ||
| I believe so, yes. | ||
| Okay, that's my point. | ||
| Like, I use stupid as a catch-all, and it is kind of something that... | ||
| I don't mean in that regard. | ||
| It is dumb. | ||
| It is dumb, but it is not that they are dumb. | ||
| It's that they're naive, and it is dumb to continue to do that. | ||
| Yeah, and I think what we can sum it up with is only the naive can stay. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| The rest will be flipped. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| But in this next call, we get more about how Alex is going to take calls. | ||
| I'm giving the phone number out. | ||
| For people that disagree and really think that we're under Russian control, that I'm getting orders from the Russians, that I'm getting funding from the Russians, that Trump is, and that there's proof there. | ||
| I can't believe I'm on air even saying this. | ||
| This is so ridiculous. | ||
| It makes me angry just to say it, because it's like, you're welcome to call in and ask if I'm a violent player from China. | ||
| It's just... | ||
| Has no connection to who I am. | ||
| But that's the whole narrative by the globalists that have hijacked the country. | ||
| They're the foreign multinational force. | ||
| But I want to challenge you. | ||
| Are you proud of what Mueller's done? | ||
| Are you proud of the fact that there's nothing in any of this? | ||
| I mean, Trump's done nothing. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
| That's far, far from the truth. | ||
| Even if all they're doing is putting together an obstruction of justice case, which is what the Democrats seem to think is what... | ||
| Mueller's ultimate endgame is. | ||
| He did that shit. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Like, you don't need to prove it in court to be... | ||
| It's obvious that he did that. | ||
| I would like to do my impression of Alex Jones nigh on 100 years ago. | ||
| 80 years ago, maybe. | ||
| 80 years ago? | ||
| 80 years ago, probably, yeah. | ||
| So, 1930s? | ||
| Al Capone hasn't done shit! | ||
| Look, he forgot to fill out a tax form. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| He forgot to fill out a tax form. | ||
| Everybody's coming around saying he killed people, saying he was running booze, saying he was running numbers. | ||
| It's bullshit. | ||
| He just forgot to fill out a form. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Look, they get indict a ham sandwich these days. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| Now, you can say that Jefferson Davis is an agent of the South. | ||
| But that's just like calling me an agent of the South. | ||
| What am I next? | ||
| An agent of China? | ||
| Come on! | ||
| What am I, a violin player from Mars? | ||
| Come on! | ||
| Let's make ridiculous straw men. | ||
| Is that some Star Wars? | ||
| It was. | ||
| In the cantina? | ||
| That's some jizz. | ||
| What was their name? | ||
| That is what they called it. | ||
| Yeah, that's the genre. | ||
| God, so good. | ||
| What's that Snice Noodles? | ||
| I remember that from when I was a kid. | ||
| I can't remember. | ||
| The Cantina Band? | ||
| If we were off air, I would remember it immediately. | ||
| All right, fair enough. | ||
| So, in this... | ||
| No, I think their name was the Baroda Jizz. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I think that was the genre. | ||
| No, there's no such genre. | ||
| They weren't playing jizz music. | ||
| The band. | ||
| The band. | ||
| The chat room could chime in on this if we're wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was like Snice Noodle. | ||
| That was the name of the band leader. | ||
| You're thinking of Sly Stone and the family band. | ||
| I might. | ||
| You're thinking of Sly Stone and the cantina band. | ||
| Snice Noodle and the cantina band. | ||
| Now that's great. | ||
| I had a huge hit with In Time. | ||
| I'm seeing from the chatroom Figurin' Dan and the Modal Node. | ||
| Is that correct? | ||
| Is that correct? | ||
| No. | ||
| I don't care anymore. | ||
| I don't give a fuck about Star Wars. | ||
| Figurin' Dan. | ||
| I'm hearing from the mooch. | ||
| Jizz is the genre, so suck it! | ||
| God, screw you! | ||
| All right. | ||
| Playing that jizz music. | ||
| Alex has built up the fact that he's going to take calls, and Sly Snoodle's band was at Jabba's Palace, so I wasn't... | ||
| Totally off. | ||
| I have these nerd memories from when I was younger. | ||
| Like weird nerd flashbacks? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| I did LSD and watched a lot of Star Wars a long time ago. | ||
| I was in the trenches. | ||
| So Alex has presented... | ||
| The spider leadership got to me. | ||
| He's going to take calls, and he's going to try and get some antagonistic callers, see if people can prove that he's related to Trump. | ||
| And I want to be clear, I had way too much work to do today. | ||
| And I was not listening live. | ||
| I had to double back. | ||
| If I had heard this live, I probably would have called in. | ||
| And been like, Alex, you admitted on air that you've spoken to Russian intelligence and that you didn't alert the FBI afterwards. | ||
| That is enough to be very seriously concerned about your allegiances. | ||
| Now let's talk about blood libel. | ||
| Now let's talk about how much your position on Putin has changed over the years. | ||
| Now let's talk about these weird conversations you had with Roger Stone and Steve Pchenik. | ||
| In the December of 2015. | ||
| It was a weird turn the last time we went on a double date and you were like, okay, no, this getting to know each other is fine. | ||
| Now let's talk about blood libel. | ||
| Again, it's not far off. | ||
| That was a strange turn. | ||
| I was hanging out with some comedian friends. | ||
| One of the best in the business, Lisa Trager, was in town over the weekend. | ||
| And I went to go see her perform with our friend Marty. | ||
| And I did explain to you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You did exactly that. | |
| Not to them, because Marty already knows and Lisa was busy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| If I could have gotten Lisa, if I could have gotten the headliner, I would have gotten right in there. | ||
| But I had to stick with the host and that shit. | ||
| Look, Lisa and I, whenever we get together, we just want to talk about various deep cuts from Britney Spears' first album and what have you. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Who among us does it? | ||
| But that is, that does end up coming into my social life way too much. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Way too much. | ||
| I've been there. | ||
| Guys, it's important. | ||
| There's a fucking, there's a new holocaust coming. | ||
| I know! | ||
| Do you understand? | ||
| What am I supposed to say? | ||
| I do the same thing. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I have to avoid it. | ||
| Good. | ||
| I feel bad for whatever influence you may have on our caller's social lives. | ||
| Or our callers? | ||
| Our callers? | ||
| I got caller in the head because the rest of the show is going to deal with a lot of calls. | ||
| I got an erection in the head. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| So, Alex talks for 35 minutes about, and this is with commercials cut out 35 minutes. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| About whether, you know, I'm going to take these calls! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| At a certain point, I'm like... | ||
| You're vamping. | ||
| You don't want to take these calls. | ||
| No. | ||
| You're worried that someone will... | ||
| Say something smart. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then you're going to have to be like, no, it wasn't in the articles of Section 2501C is where you're wrong, sir. | ||
| Under common law. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Maritime law. | ||
| Here's the first clip. | ||
| First caller. | ||
| You're not an admiral. | ||
| And they believe they're in an existential war with Christians, and if they can just dominate... | ||
| America that they fed off of, then somehow they'd be somebody. | ||
| That's the whole existential struggle they're in. | ||
| They're just sacks of trash. | ||
| And they hate us. | ||
| They're like hordes of zombies. | ||
| They just hate the living. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They hate those that are informed. | |
| All right. | ||
| Ken, Kevin, Terrence, Aaron, Chad, John. | ||
| Does any of these people disagree? | ||
| Maybe Kevin does. | ||
| Yes, and Terrence probably does. | ||
| I've known a lot of Terrence's. | ||
| Not a huge fan of Alex. | ||
| Do you think this first caller he goes to is going to be critical? | ||
| No! | ||
| I think this first caller he goes to might actually plug one of his products. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Kevin in Canada, you're on the air. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, Alex, I've listened to you longer than the NSA has. | |
| Now, I'm going to give you a chance to, do you think he's critical or do you think he's a fan? | ||
| I'm going to go with he's a fan. | ||
| Okay, let's see. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And watched your show. | |
| And I have to say, you're probably the worst double-speaking liar there is. | ||
| Ooh. | ||
| So, this got me very excited. | ||
| Alright, here we go. | ||
| Because I was like, oh shit. | ||
| Let's jump into this. | ||
| Let's see what he says. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I can prove it. | |
| The first thing is, when it comes to Russia, there's one thing that you could do to prove it, but you won't. | ||
| Release your finances. | ||
| So first of all, that's a bad attack. | ||
| Not a great one. | ||
| Because he needs to release his finances for other reasons. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Russia's probably not funneling him money. | ||
| Like all of his boats. | ||
| Right. | ||
| All these other things, and quite frankly, I think the world would be much better off for knowing how much he's making on these fake pills. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But there's other reasons that we... | |
| It's at least a dart. | ||
| You just named the top five people on my hit list. | ||
| Politically. | ||
| Politically. | ||
| At least it's a dart. | ||
| At least he's throwing a dart, and I appreciate it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And prove to your audience where your money actually comes from. | ||
| keep going okay the second as far as double speak goes i mean you already said on joe rogan's podcast that you were pressured by your advertisers to lie about y2k you said that russia launched intercontinental ballistic missiles against the united states now | ||
| Another reason why you're probably tied to Russia is you don't call Vladimir Putin a literal demon. | ||
| Just like you call Hillary now, you called Putin back then a literal demon. | ||
| Okay, hold on. | ||
| That's a lot for me to remember, so let me just go through each one first. | ||
| First of all, take some fucking notes, Alex. | ||
| You have huge stacks of paper in front of you. | ||
| You should use it. | ||
| Or fucking screen your callers. | ||
| In fairness to Alex against this caller... | ||
| Y2K, he didn't say that Putin was literally a demon. | ||
| He said he's resembling a demon. | ||
| He says that he is on a power trip and going crazy, and people have said he looks like a demon. | ||
| This is why we lose, Dan. | ||
| Who gives a fuck about that? | ||
| We don't need to be honest. | ||
| We don't need to recognize the truth. | ||
| We need to lie. | ||
| You know what he said? | ||
| He didn't just say Putin was a literal demon. | ||
| He said Putin gave him a handjob in high school. | ||
| Nah, I go back to the early... | ||
| Pretty sure he said that on Y2K. | ||
| We go back to the Chris Gethard early motto. | ||
| Lose well. | ||
| That's what I insist on doing. | ||
| We will stay true to reality and inevitably get murdered by hordes of ding-dongs. | ||
| Win like a bitch is my motto. | ||
| I don't like that. | ||
| So, Alex is needed to take a break, because he's gotta write this down, or I can't remember all those two complaints you made. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| In fairness to this caller against you, he did make three complaints. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| The finances. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Putin. | ||
| Oh, and then lying about Y2K? | ||
| But those two are sort of parceled together. | ||
| The lying about Y2K is absolutely true. | ||
| And he does say that on Rogan's show. | ||
| And it's clear that... | ||
| Yeah, he was pressured to lie about Y2K. | ||
| Putin's not a little demon. | ||
| Because his advertiser was Ted Anderson of Midas Resources. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And he really wanted him to spread panic in order to sell gold. | ||
| You got it. | ||
| That is why he did that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nailed it. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, I can't wait. | ||
| We've got to do that 9-11 episode one of these days. | ||
| Because I didn't want to do it, but then I started to think more about Ted Anderson. | ||
| And how many 9-11s that we're currently living through? | ||
| Well, I started to think about Ted Anderson. | ||
| I remember from watching the 9-11 episode, there's a lot of gold sales on it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| For as much as Alex screams... | ||
| I called this. | ||
| And all that stuff. | ||
| Gloating about how right he is about everything. | ||
| Because he's a human being with empathy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| A lot of it... | ||
| That might be another connection between him and Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Their immediate reaction to 9-11. | |
| So I think that his complaint about his finances could have been better presented, but good call. | ||
| The lying about Y2K, good one. | ||
| The Putin is a demon thing, good, but also slightly inaccurate. | ||
| Also... | ||
| Inconsequential. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Let's see how Alex responds. | ||
| I've told the story about not knowing how real Y2K would be. | ||
| It wasn't. | ||
| And how the Navy said it was all going to crash and how the government first put out that it was going to be this real thing. | ||
| And then I didn't believe it was real for a while. | ||
| And then by the end, sponsors and listeners, like, convinced me. | ||
| So, that means you lied. | ||
| Convinced him. | ||
| Sponsors convinced you. | ||
| Convinced him. | ||
| Listeners convinced you. | ||
| They convinced him. | ||
| If listeners convinced you, you need to reassess how you get information. | ||
| Secondarily, if sponsors convinced you, then you are lying in order to appease a sponsor. | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| So he has admitted that his critique is actually correct. | ||
| Don't get it. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| That okay, maybe something's gonna happen. | ||
| Then ABC News reported... | ||
| That an intercontinental ballistic missile was fired from Russia and may have malfunctioned on Y2K. | ||
| William Cooper and others edited the tapes together for me like on air 18 hours that day to make it like some five-minute tape to sound completely insane. | ||
| So that's fake news. | ||
| The other thing is release my finances. | ||
| Release your finances. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| Like, show us Russia isn't giving you money. | ||
| Russia's giving me zero money. | ||
| I'm financed by the listeners buying products. | ||
| And last time I checked, I think we have almost no orders going into Russia. | ||
| The UK orders a lot of stuff. | ||
| Canada orders a lot of stuff. | ||
| Mexico orders a lot of stuff. | ||
| Strangely enough, France orders a lot of stuff. | ||
| And Japan and Australia, they still pay. | ||
| You know, the fact that it's expensive to get stuff over there. | ||
| I'm trying to set up a European division, an Australian division. | ||
| That's coming next. | ||
| You know, so we can actually have product and warehouses there. | ||
| He's turning it into a plug. | ||
| He's turning it into a, we're gonna be able to get you product faster here in the future. | ||
| He's pretty smooth. | ||
| That is smooth as shit. | ||
| But then also... | ||
| Credit where credit is due. | ||
| This slimy piece of garbage can go fuck himself, but goddammit if that wasn't great salesmanship. | ||
| But then the other idea, too, of, like, you release your finances. | ||
| That's not an answer. | ||
| And when he says, Russia gave me zero money, again, that's entirely possible. | ||
| I don't think it's a reasonable thing to think, oh, you know what happened? | ||
| Kislyak gave him $50. | ||
| That's an absurdly low amount for whatever we're talking about. | ||
| Our issue isn't that Russia did or did not give you money, although they certainly did by boosting your... | ||
| Hit counts and all of that shit. | ||
| You sold more advertisements to people, so technically they did give you money. | ||
| In an indirect way, yeah. | ||
| But there's another thing that's really interesting, and I'll put together some clips about this in the future, but there have been a number of times that people have called in and asked him about the Koch brothers and whether he gets money from them, and he does not answer that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He just answers that they're not that important. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're not really all that political. | ||
| They only give me a million and they gave that fucker, Yiannopoulos, like $20 billion. | ||
| Yeah, I need more. | ||
| Who gave him his book deal? | ||
| Let's get through the rest of this. | ||
| Let's get to the bottom of that boat. | ||
| I mean, to make it better for folks, but I mean, again, you literally, you literally, because see, if I say something on the biggest podcast in the world, it's not like I'm saying it in secret. | ||
| I always see the headlines. | ||
| Jones caught! | ||
| Smoking pot. | ||
| We caught him on a podcast that had 45 million viewers. | ||
| It's like saying, Jones got caught, you know, in the Super Bowl. | ||
| If I was in the Super Bowl, I got caught throwing a football. | ||
| I mean, it's just these little weird semantical games that people engage in are just bizarre. | ||
| I mean, where's the evidence of Trump and Russia? | ||
| Where's the evidence that I'm involved with Russia? | ||
| Well, there is you admitting that you spoke to Russian intelligence. | ||
| Not a good defense that time. | ||
| It's not great. | ||
| His slimy move into a sales pitch? | ||
| Great. | ||
| His dissembling on, like, I got caught throwing a football? | ||
| Does that one work for you? | ||
| Also, it's more fun to bring up the idea that, like... | ||
| On Y2K, you also said there were concentration camps set up at an Austin airport. | ||
| So, I mean, that's not Russia, but it is fun. | ||
| But the Canadian guy didn't bring that up because that was true. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Do you literally, actually with a straight face, Kevin, do you believe that I have some connection to Russia? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, Alex, I'm going to take you up on your deal. | |
| I will release my finances, and you will have to do the same. | ||
| You just said it to your whole audience. | ||
| Hey, hey, hey, listen, bro. | ||
| You have nothing. | ||
| I appreciate your call. | ||
| You've got your proof. | ||
| I appreciate your call. | ||
| There you go, folks. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| I said Russia fired a missile. | ||
| And then I must be paid by the Russians. | ||
| They have nothing. | ||
| They have no facts. | ||
| We're going to make America great again, whether you like it or not. | ||
| Have fun up there in Canada, bro. | ||
| We'll be back with more calls. | ||
| So he has that call, and he thinks he won that one. | ||
| He thinks he won that exchange, and it works reasonably well. | ||
| The break music plays, and he talks over him when he's trying to make another point. | ||
| But be that as it may, that's fine. | ||
| Deflection and non-answering of questions in terms of the critiques that the guy brought up. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| So he gets back from commercial. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Gets back from his commercial break and gets a little defensive. | ||
| This call might not have been the best for his headspace. | ||
| He doesn't like negative reinforcement. | ||
| Not necessarily. | ||
| We just took a call from somebody that was going to give me evidence of my Russia connections. | ||
| And he had none. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| The Cold War is over. | ||
| Ideologically, Russia is more like the US used to be. | ||
| We face the same globalist foes, multinational corporations that want to control our countries. | ||
| That's the only connection we have with Russia. | ||
| And I do share Russia's views on getting away from globalism. | ||
| And I don't buy all the hype about Vladimir Putin because I've investigated it myself. | ||
| It's the same mainstream media lying about me that lies about Putin. | ||
| And I'm certainly not lionizing Vladimir Putin. | ||
| The point is, most of it's a load of bull. | ||
| That's their country. | ||
| This is my country. | ||
| The communist Chinese are the ones that have bought off a lot of our media, that are starting to control Hollywood. | ||
| They're the big issue. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| So. | ||
| Long pause. | ||
| Before I go back to your calls, just briefly here, I do want to remind listeners that we are under globalist attack for a good reason, because we're effective, we understand what's going on, and we're promoting freedom worldwide, and we're exposing the globalist program. | ||
| So if you do support the broadcast at Infowarsstore.com, it's a big deal. | ||
| It's a big deal. | ||
| It is a big deal. | ||
| Hey, you know how much he hates those globalist, multinational corporations who, yes, Trump did just give $2 trillion to. | ||
| Yes, that is true. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But because prosperity. | ||
| Trump runs a multinational corporation. | ||
| Because prosperity. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's why. | ||
| All that gets into that hypocritical nonsense game that doesn't work. | ||
| We can't do this anymore. | ||
| The thing that I want to bring out of there is that Alex is being very clear, and we already knew this to a great extent. | ||
| That what he does identify with and connect with the Russians is what he believes to be fighting against globalism and the globalists. | ||
| And as we know from a years-long investigation, the globalists aren't real. | ||
| The globalists are Alex Jones' cover for archaic anti-Semitic canards that inform his worldview. | ||
| And that's why it's really important, as we discussed at the beginning of the show, that this Russian bishop is bringing back up blood libel ideas. | ||
| It's because that is this. | ||
| When Alex says that he just said literally there, that's the connection. | ||
| And what's important to make clear on that is that it is not necessarily anti-Semitism in the way that, you know, it's not specifically targeted towards Jews. | ||
| What he's done is repurpose anti-Semitic bullshit from a hundred years ago and applied it to everyone who's not him. | ||
| Everyone who disagrees with him. | ||
| Everyone who disagrees with him is a blood libeler. | ||
| Everyone who fights against, you know, social oppression. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Those sorts of things. | ||
| Everyone who wants a more fair and equal society is... | ||
| Guilty of blood libel. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And lest we forget the Protocols of the Elders of Zion were written by Russian intelligence. | ||
| That's the connection they have. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So all of that just, I mean, it's inexorable. | ||
| It's all super connected in terms of these philosophical ideas. | ||
| It's that, like, I keep describing it as a brain virus because it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It gets in and it gives a false context to everything that you look at. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And that's like what you were saying there, too. | ||
| The idea that he's just... | ||
| He just applies it for political gain is one piece of it. | ||
| But the brain virus does not just work in benign symptoms. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| It also is hatred. | ||
| It absolutely is. | ||
| Now, I think... | ||
| It's probably not hatred to, like, I hate all Jews, because he doesn't... | ||
| You know what's interesting as a... | ||
| Like, this is a great paper 15 years from now. | ||
| We'll be good. | ||
| Yeah, no, of course. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But... | |
| If you consider that antisemitism and the way that it has spread throughout Europe and all of those places, that is really the fear of foreign people stealing money. | ||
| Essentially. | ||
| Yeah, because all those blood libel ideas and all that shit was generally rooted in usury. | ||
| The idea that Christians can't rent or give out money at interest. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Can't lend money. | ||
| So what is this? | ||
| All of this globalist bullshit, all of that bullshit is the same thing if you just take out Jew from it. | ||
| So your paper is, of course, the metastasation of... | ||
| Blood libel and bigotry through the use of the internet and the way that it's connected people. | ||
| One thing that people did not expect from the internet because everybody was like, oh, we're all going to be connected. | ||
| They didn't expect the same bigotry to follow along with it. | ||
| And it's the same bigotry of a small Russian village 150 years ago seeing... | ||
| You know, ten Jews come in and make money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Like, it's the same fear on a global scale, because now we're all connected to each other. | ||
| The racism is just bigger. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| It's the same racism, though. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| We're all Jews, is what I'm saying. | ||
| And it always looks like it's going away, and then it doesn't. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, it's a brain virus. | ||
| So, Alex... | ||
| And the only way to stop a virus is, of course, to develop a vaccine or kill all of the conservatives. | ||
| Politically. | ||
| I don't think Alex is going to be thrilled with the idea of a vaccine. | ||
| Politically. | ||
| I'm guessing he's not into the vaccine idea. | ||
| What type of vaccine do you think would solve this brain virus? | ||
| Clean vaccine! | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Let's get a clean vaccine. | ||
| I want to go to the next call. | ||
| I'm going to go with an ass jab. | ||
| I want to go to the next call, but I can't. | ||
| Not even a needle. | ||
| I can't go to the next call. | ||
| Do you want to go to the next call? | ||
| I do. | ||
| I want to go to the next clip, because there is not a next call for a bit. | ||
| Okay, let's go to the next clip. | ||
| Alex presented this like, I'm going to take a bunch of calls, and if you disagree with me, now's your chance. | ||
| Come at me, bitch. | ||
| That sort of shit. | ||
| And instead he just rambles about how, I've looked into Putin, he's great. | ||
| Which is not real. | ||
| Not accurate. | ||
| And then... | ||
| This, which I think he's revealing a little bit about being a bad parent at the beginning of this, and then he rambles for a bit. | ||
| I took one of my daughters to have her tooth removed this morning because it had never come out, and the tooth was coming in above it, going into the other tooth. | ||
| So I took her own. | ||
| I never met the dentist. | ||
| They've been there four or five times the last few years. | ||
| I would argue that that's a sign that you're being a little negligent. | ||
| If they've been going to the same dentist for a few years? | ||
| He's said four or five times in the past few years. | ||
| It's a consistent dentist that you're going to. | ||
| Yeah, but four or five times in the past few years. | ||
| You know how fucking super protective Alex is? | ||
| He's a dad. | ||
| He's got work. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't think my dad has ever met a dentist that I went to. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Maybe you want to argue that's negligent parenting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would. | |
| That's a conversation we can have. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I'll look. | ||
| I'll give this one a pass for now, but it strikes me as a little bit, like, my parents met my dentist. | ||
| They wouldn't let me go to a dentist, probably, if they didn't have met. | ||
| Especially when I was under, like, 13. My parents didn't let me date a dentist until I ran away at 18. Alright. | ||
| That's very Christian of them. | ||
| But I never met the dentist. | ||
| The dentist came out and shook my hand, was a listener. | ||
| They had the anesthesiologist. | ||
| It's under regulations and laws now. | ||
| Even if somebody gets put on laughing gas, they have an anesthesiologist there to do it because of all the lawsuits and stuff. | ||
| He was a listener, got a photo with me, and it was just very humbling that professionals all over are listening to the show. | ||
| Or they're being polite. | ||
| Because I'll be honest, sometimes I think the show's good, but half the time I'm sick of hearing my voice. | ||
| That's why I have a lot of guests on and other talk show hosts and stuff, because I want to build something that's more diverse. | ||
| But we're winning. | ||
| Everywhere I go, we run into people that are big fans of the show and tell me about what was on the show just yesterday. | ||
| So there are a minority of people, mainly white yuppies who are entitled, who will lash out at myself or you or others. | ||
| for promoting freedom, but they are the dwindling minority. | ||
| So there is a lot of hope. | ||
| And as long as the economy is growing, and we have optimism, and we know what a fraud this Russia investigation is, we know it's not going anywhere. | ||
| But the question is, then what are they going to do as they get more and more angry and more and more violent? | ||
| Hashtag hunt Republicans. | ||
| Hashtag Black Lives Matter. | ||
| Hashtag kill the cops. | ||
| Hashtag go out and beat people up just because you politically disagree with them. | ||
| I mean, what's going to happen with these people? | ||
| That's a big question. | ||
| Okay, I'm going to go to your calls now. | ||
| Hashtag kill the cops and hashtag Black Lives Matter being compared as sort of equivalent. | ||
| Can't think of any reason why those were right next to each other. | ||
| Yeah, so that's one piece of this. | ||
| I think the other piece of this is that if I found out my dentist listened to InfoWars, I would run. | ||
| But he doesn't. | ||
| Run! | ||
| He doesn't. | ||
| An Infowars dentist? | ||
| Alex's dad isn't even an Infowarrier. | ||
| No, his dad is making a lot of money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He works for the CIA. | |
| Nah, he can't anymore. | ||
| He's retired. | ||
| But he didn't work for the CIA. | ||
| He had one patient who was a CIA agent. | ||
| Not important. | ||
| He's a CIA dentist. | ||
| Such bullshit. | ||
| He did all the CIA's dentistry. | ||
| One time my dad had a guy who was in the service and he came in and he got his tooth worked on and he said some weird stuff under the gas. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's the extent of the story, I'm sure. | ||
| Be that as it may. | ||
| Do they really... | ||
| They have to really have started to buy their own bullshit that there's nothing in the Russia investigation, right? | ||
| No, everybody. | ||
| All of the right-wing people. | ||
| They have to have... | ||
| Either that or it's another stalling tactic. | ||
| That's probably what it is. | ||
| You know, like, that's the only reason... | ||
| Like, once the tax bill is passed, they kind of get it now. | ||
| Like, they got what they want. | ||
| The rich are going to abandon Trump. | ||
| Like, that's going to happen. | ||
| I think there's a lot more work left to do beyond the taxes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| We're going to get to that at the end of the episode. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's too unstable. | |
| Why don't you hold on to that for a second? | ||
| Well, the instability actually works in service of getting these things passed. | ||
| Yeah, no, but that's what... | ||
| I mean, up to a point... | ||
| There's a lot more to strip mine from this country before the ritual. | ||
| You can sleep on a giant pile of money if it's not irradiated. | ||
| Get to that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Maybe. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It probably will. | ||
| Anyway, finally, quite a bit down the road, we get to a second caller. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And do you want to make a prediction of whether this guy is going to be critical or uncritical? | ||
| I'm going to go with mildly critical. | ||
| Interesting theory. | ||
| Let's find out. | ||
| Terrence in Washington. | ||
| You're on the air. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go ahead. | |
| Thanks for calling. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hi, Alex. | |
| How are you doing? | ||
| Good, brother. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, me and my girlfriend Sabrina have been listeners for a long time. | |
| I've been listening a lot longer. | ||
| Now, this is just what I like to say to you, Alex, is that human, human to human, you know about communication contact. | ||
| Now, do you think that this is a critical call or not a critical call? | ||
| I'm going to go with not a critical call. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You've taught me. | |
| Now, this is what I've got to say. | ||
| You were a lot more passionate about what you were speaking about. | ||
| When you were trying to save the world, besides the politicalness, defending Trump. | ||
| Now, are you seeing something in your tarot cards that says you need to put all your chips down on Trump or we're doomed to dead? | ||
| Or do you see any of the fact that keeping Trump right now is leading this race war and a possible civil war? | ||
| Would you give up Trump? | ||
| To keep the Civil War from happening. | ||
| Terrence with a great question! | ||
| That's a great question! | ||
| We'll see how Alex answers this. | ||
| I'm going to go with not well. | ||
| Rambly. | ||
| I'm going to go with not well. | ||
| So the question at its core is... | ||
| I mean, the subtext of it is... | ||
| I mean, one of the underlying assumptions is... | ||
| There will be a civil war if Trump continues to do what he's doing, which is a little bit of a weird pretext. | ||
| But he's saying, would you stop supporting Trump if you knew that continuing to support him would lead to the deaths of, let's say, millions of Americans? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Now, I'm guessing his defense towards that will be, I know it's not. | ||
| Beyond that, your prediction will stand as it stands, and we'll see. | ||
| Beyond that, there's an important piece that Terrence is bringing up at the beginning there, and that is you used to be much more passionate. | ||
| That sort of thing. | ||
| You used to have a fire in you. | ||
| Now there's a certain resignation. | ||
| Or you just keep beating the same fucking drum. | ||
| It's boring. | ||
| Turn your radio down, but it's a really good question. | ||
| It's more complex than that. | ||
| It's not that I'm perfect or Trump's perfect. | ||
| It's that he really is challenging the globalists. | ||
| He's destroying their takeover plan of the U.S. and the world. | ||
| And they're trying to destroy him. | ||
| And they're trying to destroy me in the process and my family. | ||
| And so I'm committed and doubled down on an issue of loyalty through this because you know someone by their enemies. | ||
| So is that a no? | ||
| And yeah, you say to all the tarot cards show... | ||
| That Trump's the guy. | ||
| It's beyond that. | ||
| It's the fight. | ||
| I mean, you see how the globalists hate Trump and hate the liberty movement and how nationalism is spreading all over the world. | ||
| I mean, I'm supporting nationalism in Brazil and nationalism in England and nationalism in areas of Africa. | ||
| So, like, let's look at beyond the Brazil. | ||
| I'm supporting the strip mining of the world. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Especially Brazil. | ||
| Man. | ||
| That one's difficult. | ||
| That one's tough. | ||
| But look at the world leaders that Alex Jones has been firmly in support of. | ||
| UKIP. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Not good. | ||
| Marine Le Pen. | ||
| Not good. | ||
| No. | ||
| Geert Wilders. | ||
| Not good. | ||
| Nigel Farage. | ||
| We're back to UKIP. | ||
| And then Putin. | ||
| And hey. | ||
| I think he just threw Tamer in there as well. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Which is, a leader with a 5% approval rating is not good. | ||
| Not great. | ||
| Not great. | ||
| Oh, also a leader who has literally been on tape committing crimes, who was not impeached for them. | ||
| He was on tape getting bribes. | ||
| Let's be fair to Alex, though. | ||
| It's unclear if he's supporting Tamer or someone else. | ||
| Could be any Brazilian. | ||
| It might be Pele. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know who he's supporting in Brazil. | ||
| He hasn't talked about that too much, but he has referenced, I guess there's a nationalist movement. | ||
| I'm going to go with the white nationalists who took over the government. | ||
| Or the Sweetlanders in South Africa that he's had on the show. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Thrilled. | ||
| All of these people seem to have one connection, and it's not fighting the globalists. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| No, it seems to be they're scared white people. | ||
| Could have something to do with it. | ||
| Not sure about in Brazil, but the rest of them. | ||
| No, it's absolutely in Brazil. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Brazil had one of the most diverse governments until they illegally ramshackled the previous leader, Dilma, and installed an all-white government. | ||
| Ah, I see. | ||
| All-white! | ||
| So white! | ||
| Trend continues. | ||
| The whitest! | ||
| Anyway, we still are not sure how he's answering this question. | ||
| And Asia? | ||
| Does it mean that UKIP's a perfect party? | ||
| Does it mean that... | ||
| You know, the parties in Eastern Europe that are breaking away from the EU, that they're perfect? | ||
| No. | ||
| But they understand they're under foreign, globalist domination. | ||
| And the globalists are the big, worldwide, organized tyranny. | ||
| They're the operatives. | ||
| He always sounds like he's trying to chew on something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's very weird. | ||
| It's like whenever the camera goes away from him, it sounds like he's just taking a bite of a sandwich. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| They're the ones that are the biggest threat. | ||
| And so I admire Trump for having the courage to fight him and getting a foothold and starting to beat them. | ||
| And that the fight is so close that I'm putting all my energy in to not hedging my bets. | ||
| I mean, I could get up here and only halfway support Trump and not be such a big target. | ||
| But I want to be a big target, just like he is. | ||
| I want to give my full effort and commitment and not half measures in this historical time we're in. | ||
| I want to be counted. | ||
| I want my John Hancock on the Declaration of Independence. | ||
| Do you think all the people on that Declaration of Independence liked each other or agreed with each other? | ||
| Or they were all perfect? | ||
| No. | ||
| But they were up against an empire that had never been defeated. | ||
| And they were sick of being ruled by an outside power. | ||
| Here we go! | ||
| And they put it all on the line, and they were successful, and they were victorious. | ||
| And so I smell victory. | ||
| I smelled it three years ago. | ||
| You've seen it happen. | ||
| Now you see the economy coming back. | ||
| Now you see all the changes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's getting played on so he doesn't have to answer the fucking question. | |
| We were already conquered. | ||
| They're threatening civil workers. | ||
| They want control again. | ||
| They're the outside power. | ||
| We kick the globalists out. | ||
| Then we can debate things politically and not be so committed one way or the other. | ||
| But right now, this is life and death for this country. | ||
| Stay there, Terrence. | ||
| I'm going to come back and get your response to that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Then John, Jennifer, Chad. | |
| Alex, my response is, the fuck did you just say? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm certain Buckley came over to him and like, dude, first of all, that was nothing. | ||
| That was bananas. | ||
| That was three minutes of nothing. | ||
| Bananas. | ||
| You did not give an answer at all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| And you didn't address the important piece of that fan who had a critique of you, which was who used to be much more passionate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| You used to be, before it was all this Trump stuff, you're losing some of your edge. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You used to be cool, man. | |
| You used to be cool. | ||
| And so Alex comes back from commercial, and we're going to see some false passion. | ||
| All right. | ||
| We're going to see some fake crying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ooh! | |
| Yeah, it's pretty good. | ||
| People think being a man is having a bunch of symbols of wealth or acting physically tougher on other men. | ||
| Is that what people think? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| But that's, I just wanted to be clear, this is right after the commercial break. | ||
| That's not what a man does. | ||
| A man does what's right and doesn't back down in the face of it. | ||
| Holding back tears. | ||
| Has commitments. | ||
| That's what this is about. | ||
| That's why people out there always claim that I'm a fraud or I'm a phony because it's the opposite. | ||
| I'm the opposite of a fraud or phony. | ||
| I'm willing to do anything to take on these people because I know what they are, a bunch of goddamn devil-worshiping pedophiles. | ||
| Great. | ||
| And I won't apologize for saying that. | ||
| Because it's not the Lord's name in vain. | ||
| I hope God damns these people to hell for eternity! | ||
| Actually, I think that's the definition of the Lord's name in vain. | ||
| I'm going to give my full energy and everything I've got, as imperfect as it is, to taking these people on, and I'm going to pour out everything I've got against them. | ||
| You sound tired. | ||
| Because I don't want to be around them or with them and their spirit. | ||
| Because my very heart... | ||
| And my guts tells me they're pure death. | ||
| They're a bunch of cowardly, backstabbing scum. | ||
| And I'm so proud they hate me. | ||
| Let me tell you, it's always scum that gets in my face. | ||
| It's always, you can always tell, oh, look at that table of scum. | ||
| They're going to come over here and say something. | ||
| Because they're always a bunch of confused, ninnying, rudderless crap. | ||
| They think if they attack somebody that mainstream media hates, somehow they might be somebody by pointing their finger at me and saying, there's the bad guy. | ||
| So there's my answer to you, Terrence. | ||
| They can put a gun to my head and say, if you don't come out and say you hate Trump, we're going to blow your brains out, I'd say pull the trigger. | ||
| Not the question. | ||
| I've already basically had the Democratic Party and the whole structure try to take my children away from me. | ||
| No, that wasn't them. | ||
| That was your ex-wife. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I think we should. | ||
| I'm on board with that now. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't want to get mixed up in that, but I will be very clear that was your ex-wife. | ||
| That was not the globalists or the Democrats. | ||
| So, that was fake as shit. | ||
| Yeah, that was not good. | ||
| If you watch the video, it's super hilarious, just the choking back tears. | ||
| People say, I'm a fraud! | ||
| And they say that because I'm fake crying right now! | ||
| Because I'm lying about being sad and doing all of those things! | ||
| Ah, man, people say I'm fake because I fake crying about things that are very innocuous. | ||
| Yeah, okay, so, Terrence, one more time, what was your question? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's not done faking passion. | ||
| How is he not done? | ||
| He's on 12 minutes of nothing. | ||
| He fakes some passion, some more, and then the end of this call is really funny. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Because it's where I heard the sound effect that I... | ||
| Not sound effect. | ||
| The sound effect? | ||
| The sound that I... | ||
| There's like a slide whistle? | ||
| I believe the sound of Alex taking some booze to the head. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| And then when he... | ||
| I'll pause when it happens, because how he comes back after taking the shot is what makes me think he was taking a shot. | ||
| See, you have to understand, they're always saying we're Russian collaborators because they're the globalists. | ||
| They're the ones killing the nation state. | ||
| They're the ones bashing having American flags. | ||
| It's their 9th Circuit saying you can't have an American flag in school. | ||
| Not Donald Trump. | ||
| They're the ones telling you hate America. | ||
| They're the ones telling you the country's bad. | ||
| They're the ones telling you piss on your ancestors. | ||
| Have no respect. | ||
| They're the enemy! | ||
| So, real quick. | ||
| Did he just pop open a bottle right there? | ||
| I think he hit the table. | ||
| That sounded like a boom. | ||
| It might have been cork. | ||
| Yeah, that sounds like a cork. | ||
| No, because we know that Alex doesn't like champagne. | ||
| No, when you've got a whiskey bottle. | ||
| That's the sound of a good whiskey bottle popping off. | ||
| Too high-class whiskey for me. | ||
| The Ninth Circuit Court did not say that you can't have American flags in school. | ||
| I think we might have talked about that before. | ||
| This is a years-old lie for him. | ||
| Might have talked about that one before. | ||
| So, anyway. | ||
| They're the cancer! | ||
| They're the problem! | ||
| They're what they say we are! | ||
| Classic. | ||
| Does that answer your question, Terrence? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I would say you did, and you know what? | |
| Thank you for the heart and your voice again. | ||
| I need to hear that. | ||
| I'm a strong man like you. | ||
| I'm a 27-year-old male with a daughter who I do... | ||
| It was right there. | ||
| You're only 27? | ||
| I heard the... | ||
| Yeah, it was right there. | ||
| If you listen very carefully, you can hear something that sounds exactly like someone drinking a highball. | ||
| That dude sounds like he's 75. That's Larry Nichols pretending to be a 27-year-old. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now, Alex, I'm 27. You used to have more passion. | |
| Could you go ahead and give me some of that passion? | ||
| But in that, did I answer your question? | ||
| I think you did. | ||
| I heard that passion again because he was faking it again. | ||
| It's like a fucking dueling piano bar getting a request. | ||
| But so he takes that drink, and like I said, right before this, what the caller had said is, I'm a 27-year-old man, and I have a daughter. | ||
| Now listen to Alex's rejoinder, which I'm certain indicates he was not paying attention. | ||
| Kill your children! | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do think to myself, now Alex Jones, these globalists can kill you. | |
| Who cares about me? | ||
| Who cares about you but my daughter? | ||
| They threatened to kill my daughter. | ||
| How do you respond to that? | ||
| You had globalists threaten to kill your daughter? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, but I can only imagine. | |
| I heard, all right, globalist kill and daughter. | ||
| That's all I heard. | ||
| I'm just going to put that together in a Mad Libs. | ||
| It's so fucking obvious that he thought, oh, I might have a source here. | ||
| I know. | ||
| He was just, he got so, the light came on in his eyes, just, you, the globalist starting to kill your daughter? | ||
| Are you saying they're actually real? | ||
| He's not paying attention because he was drinking a shot of whiskey or something. | ||
| Like, he's just like, fuck it. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I can't deal with these fucking people anymore. | ||
| So he's like, wait, did the globalists threaten to kill your daughter? | ||
| Which, why the fuck would they? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Weirdo Terrence from wherever. | ||
| Terrence has got connects. | ||
| And so this is what they... | ||
| He says, no, but if they did... | ||
| And so Alex gets back. | ||
| I'll tell you why they won't threaten your daughter. | ||
| If you have it in your heart to kill anybody that threatens your daughter, then the woman won't do it. | ||
| So, you understand? | ||
| You gotta be willing to kill for your family so people don't mess with you. | ||
| But you gotta have that and they gotta know it. | ||
| What the fuck? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is great advice. | |
| If you don't want people to threaten to kill your daughter, you have to let them know that you will kill them if they threaten to kill your daughter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Listen. | |
| I don't know how you would interact with them. | ||
| Prior to them threatening to kill your daughter. | ||
| But just send out a blanket statement. | ||
| Just a press release all across the board. | ||
| Anybody fucks with my daughter, I'll kill them. | ||
| Frankly, here's what you need to do. | ||
| Go to the beach. | ||
| Get a seashell. | ||
| Scream, if you attack my daughter, I'll kill you. | ||
| They'll get it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They'll get the message. | ||
| I don't fucking understand how Alex Jones can be... | ||
| Like, these moments. | ||
| These moments that are like... | ||
| They're literally nothing, but they're the moments that I live for in terms of breaking these episodes down. | ||
| The moments where, when he said, globalists threaten to murder your daughter, there is a piece of his brain that thought for a second either. | ||
| One of two things. | ||
| One, this caller somehow is important enough that these shadowy globalists would threaten to murder his daughter, and he wouldn't lead with that. | ||
| Or, he's like... | ||
| Maybe I can convince my audience to think that's real, and maybe he'll play along with it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| One of those two things had to be what's going through his head. | ||
| Maybe this guy's the right kind of crazy for me, and we can do a little improv game, a little two-man, and then we'll get crazy. | ||
| Or Block Rock and Beats is already playing. | ||
| Maybe he'll answer vaguely. | ||
| We can go out to commercial, and then I can pretend that he got cut off. | ||
| Sorry, Terrence got cut off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| Or whatever. | ||
| He could play that and be like, and then the next day on the show, he could be like, hey, the FBI heard that Terrence called in and had taken him in for questioning, and now he's had to flee the country. | ||
| I got a week's worth of shit to make out of this. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| There's just... | ||
| Trying to assume his opportunistic mindset is really one of the only thrills I have left. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In those moments where the globalist kills your daughter. | |
| Now let's talk about blood libel. | ||
| I mean, that's boring to me at this point. | ||
| It's just so clear. | ||
| It's just so clear. | ||
| Anyway, Alex has taken two calls. | ||
| Yeah, in the past six and a half hours? | ||
| Are we still in his 37-hour special? | ||
| Might as well be. | ||
| Has he continued to broadcast live this whole time? | ||
| So that last call took the better part of 15 minutes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because Alex kept screaming and faking passion and all that stuff. | ||
| So then he comes back from that commercial break, and here's what he has to say. | ||
| Well, I love taking calls, but they're also exhausting because they challenge me and they take me to places I wasn't thinking about. | ||
| I got a ton of important clips. | ||
| Big breaking news this hour. | ||
| A bunch of stuff I've got to get to, but I am trying to go to your calls as quickly as I can. | ||
| Oh, sorry you're exhausted from, I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Two calls? | |
| Two calls! | ||
| I don't know what is exhausting you about it. | ||
| Maybe it's your heck-kneed performance. | ||
| I think he just hates talking to those people. | ||
| I would. | ||
| Yeah, I think he just hates it. | ||
| Because he knows he's trapped in a corner of having to either... | ||
| Get all of his energy up to fight back against it and make up some bullshit. | ||
| Or he has to pretend to be interested in whatever they're saying because they're a fan. | ||
| He can't just be like, oh, come on in, Terrence. | ||
| You had a great question. | ||
| You know, I don't really like people like you. | ||
| Well, the first call that he had was a guy who brought up a couple of salient points about his past and how it indicates that he is willing to lie on certain occasions, has changed his position on Putin pretty much 180 degrees, and he refuses to release his financial information. | ||
| Those three things are salient points, and Alex can't really respond to any of them without opening himself up to a pretty serious attack. | ||
| And so, gotta dance. | ||
| That would be exhausting. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Trying to figure that out on the fly. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Second caller is, would you give up Trump to save people's lives? | ||
| And the answer to that is... | ||
| Well, you can't really answer that directly, because if you say, yes, I would, then you don't get to play the, I would die for Trump, he is what's going to save us from the globalists game. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And if you say no, then you are complicit in whatever is going on. | ||
| The escalation of tension. | ||
| I would go down with the ship. | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| Like, I know why he can't answer that question. | ||
| I want to know why that question is unanswerable. | ||
| Well, because there's a part of his brain, and there's a part of, I mean, I don't know, maybe it's part of the deep recesses of his audience's brain, that still remembers that when Trump first started running, Alex said, I don't trust him, he's a con man involved with consortiums on the East Coast. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like, there is a part of him that knows this is going to break bad. | ||
| This isn't going to end well. | ||
| Eventually, all of these things, these financial misdealings, I mean, the ones that aren't already fucking public, the more serious ones that Trump has been involved with, eventually it will come to light. | ||
| And Alex is going to have to stand to bear for the fact that he pretended that all that stuff wasn't true. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he did talk to Roger Stone and Trump all the time. | |
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're good friends. | |
| And so he's eventually going to have to face the music for that. | ||
| And I think that by... | ||
| Do you think he's preparing? | ||
| Not in any way that he's not always preparing. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| He knows how to hide his guns. | ||
| He's a prepper. | ||
| That's for sure. | ||
| Like, I mean... | ||
| Storable food? | ||
| If I were one of those guys and I caught the Flynn news, like Manafort, like they're trying to keep Manafort from, like he... | ||
| They're trying to deny his bail. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because he's a flight risk. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because, of course, he's a flight risk. | ||
| There's one country he's not going to. | ||
| I know that much. | ||
| The United States. | ||
| Two countries. | ||
| So it's like there should be... | ||
| You should be able to see the writing on the wall if you're one of those fuckfaces. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's that closely aligned. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so you should have a bug-out bag at least, right? | ||
| These guys have to know what's going on. | ||
| They have to know that eventually it's going to come down on them. | ||
| Although, frankly, fuck it. | ||
| At this point, nothing is real. | ||
| Yeah, it might not. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| I think that Alex probably realizes on some part of his brain that if all of it works out, he's in an even worse position. | ||
| Because then, I mean, if net neutrality goes through, he's going to lose most of his audience. | ||
| Because most people, without being cruel... | ||
| most of his audience can barely afford the internet. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And a lot of them, and here's a part that I'm not judging them for at all. | |
| A lot of them live in crazy rural areas that don't have good service with the internet. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And a lot of those places are going to have no coverage. | |
| Well, that rule is already gone. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| That rule... | ||
| But he's in support of that stuff. | ||
| Yeah, well, of course. | ||
| But it's going to be even worse. | ||
| Like, all of that is going to just pile on and pile on. | ||
| He's going to see his profits dwindle to almost nothing unless... | ||
| You know, there is a despotic situation that ends up coming up and he is the official... | ||
| He becomes a duke. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| But, I mean, that prospect is really dark for him, I think. | ||
| And he doesn't realize it. | ||
| He doesn't realize how much the positions he's advocating for are going to fuck him in the end. | ||
| It does seem weird. | ||
| He should have been briefed on how net neutrality is going to fuck him. | ||
| He doesn't read articles. | ||
| No, I know, but he should have somebody who does. | ||
| He's like Trump. | ||
| He doesn't take briefings. | ||
| Shouldn't he have somebody who does? | ||
| Because everybody should have been united. | ||
| For net neutrality, except for the telecoms. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like, it should have been 100% of us. | ||
| Well, that kind of speaks to the possibility that Alex Jones is getting big, dark money. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In which case, he could pay for the fees. | ||
| Or the people... | ||
| Because anybody who thinks that Comcast or AT&T were telling the truth when they said they were committed to net neutrality... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bullshit. | |
| That's insane. | ||
| You are naive. | ||
| But also the people who would be dictating the positions he takes, or, you know... | ||
| Subtly influencing the positions he takes would be the ones who are interested in that. | ||
| So for him to say that it's not net neutrality, it's all just a UN takeover of the media. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, but they're going to bail on him when they can. | |
| Totally. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would. | |
| These people are so fucking stupid. | ||
| I'm looking for a way out of this podcast. | ||
| Let's bail on him. | ||
| I'll be honest with you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anyway, so we... | ||
| Everybody's stupid. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're all stupid. | |
| There's a lot of rambling. | ||
| So fucking stupid. | ||
| There's a lot of rambling that goes on. | ||
| And it's probably like another six minutes or so until we get to the next call. | ||
| And do you think this one's going to be critical or supportive? | ||
| So far we've had two relatively critical in a row. | ||
| Nah, the second critical one was supportive, but just an accidentally tougher question than the guy thought he was asking. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| So let's go with... | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Patrick in Idaho, thanks for holding her on the air. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You there? | |
| Yes, I am. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good. | |
| So, stemming off of yesterday's conversation, I'm Irish, English, German, French, Basque, Indian, whatever. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm just an American. | |
| You're drunk. | ||
| Okay, and I hear you disagree with me on Russia Connection? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I don't. | |
| I think, if I can spin a little bit, I think you're a Polish agent. | ||
| Okay, and how do you know I'm a Polish agent? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're friends. | |
| Slovik, Pacinic, Big Lebowski, all Polish scum. | ||
| Well, you know, I actually, there are a lot of people with Polish background that send me a fight in the New World Order, it's true. | ||
| And I've got friends that are Polish. | ||
| But also, I think Pacinic, from Russia, I mean, a lot of those are just Slavic names. | ||
| But, you know, people tell Pacinic that he must be a Russian agent because he's Polish. | ||
| There's other reasons. | ||
| Anybody that knows the history knows the Poles don't like the Russians too much. | ||
| There's just a lot of ignorance. | ||
| Just because somebody has a Slavic last name doesn't mean they're Russian. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm just having fun with you. | |
| No, no, Patrick, I hear you. | ||
| It sounds like you've had a lot of fun today. | ||
| Are you smoking dope or are you drinking alcohol today? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Neither. | |
| Okay, well, we've got to catch up with me. | ||
| I had to pause it there because you cannot talk over this. | ||
| You cannot even laugh over this. | ||
| Okay, well, you've got to catch up with me. | ||
| I'm joking. | ||
| I've got to go. | ||
| Man, you're something else. | ||
| I've got to go. | ||
| That color sound so ridiculous. | ||
| From everything I know about Alex Jones, that's him being like, I'm drunk. | ||
| You've got a ways to go to catch up with me. | ||
| Whenever Alex immediately says, I'm joking, that means he's not joking. | ||
| Whenever he talks about any number of things that we've gone over, that's his cop-out for oops. | ||
| I imagine Alex probably takes a lot of pain pills, too. | ||
| It's possible. | ||
| I think he's a pill popper, right? | ||
| We've had some insinuations or suggestions from the chat room that he's on amphetamines. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And that's possible, but I think that also could just be the brain force, because he has said that in one of his commercials for his new product, the red pill, he says that there's no stimulants in it, but there are in brain force. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gotcha. | |
| But there are classical stimulants. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so maybe. | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| Like cocaine. | ||
| He's on fucking something. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think he'd be a lot more, like, not as tired. | ||
| I think I like Peter as a listener. | ||
| Peter just seems like he's high. | ||
| Yeah, he's gotta be. | ||
| And he called, and he's like, eh, this'll be fun. | ||
| He's either high or he's an idiot. | ||
| Like, that's a bad prank call. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If you're just fucking around, you can do better than that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If you're drunk, maybe not. | ||
| Anyway, Alex has a critique of the calls at this point. | ||
| And it's nothing. | ||
| Not most insightful. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The callers are, some of them have been great, some of them have been okay, some of them have been funny and goofy, like the last guy. | ||
| He's taken three calls. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, he's covered his bases then. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Comedy comes in threes. | ||
| But what they are is long. | ||
| Just get to your point. | ||
| I'm going to try to make a quick point and move on. | ||
| They have asked some epic questions, so some of my answers have taken, you know, 20 minutes. | ||
| So it's mainly my fault. | ||
| I apologize. | ||
| We're going to your calls. | ||
| At least he cops to, it's my fault. | ||
| Yeah, I was going to say, they're long. | ||
| Get to your point, ask your question, like literally every single one of you did, except for Peter, who was high. | ||
| And that was alright. | ||
| Alex, the calls would be really short if you didn't scream performatively for half an hour. | ||
| Hey, if Trump was bad, would you give up Trump? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because he's just one part of the fight against the globalists? | |
| Yep. | ||
| All right, next caller. | ||
| Moving on. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Asked an answer. | ||
| Super quick call. | ||
| So in his next clip, he's taken a call, and it's very supportive of Trump. | ||
| And it's long and boring, so we don't need to go through it. | ||
| But towards the end of it, the guy is talking about how he's a Christian and how Christianity matters to him. | ||
| And then Alex says this. | ||
| Fuck Christians. | ||
| Let me throw this in. | ||
| The Bible's replete. | ||
| God judges the heart. | ||
| Not the deeds. | ||
| King David got his best friend killed just so he could have sex with his wife. | ||
| But after he truly repented, God said, you're a man from my own heart. | ||
| Christ said, look at these Pharisees praying up on top of the hill, but behind closed doors they're super evil. | ||
| Christ was looking for real people that were good and honorable and strong. | ||
| Not that they were perfect. | ||
| God made us. | ||
| God knows us. | ||
| And you're absolutely right. | ||
| Look at the Bible. | ||
| Saul of Tarsus. | ||
| Becomes Paul on the road to Damascus. | ||
| He was a horrible person. | ||
| And Trump's not been a horrible person. | ||
| He's a for-real guy. | ||
| He's out in the open. | ||
| He's not perfect. | ||
| But he really isn't out to get people. | ||
| He doesn't want austerity. | ||
| He doesn't want to enslave people. | ||
| So what are the defining characteristics of King David and Saul who becomes Paul that doesn't relate to Trump? | ||
| Both from Tarsus. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| They changed. | ||
| Don't get it. | ||
| The point of those stories is recognizing the error of your ways and having a transformative moment. | ||
| Try one more time. | ||
| Speak English. | ||
| What are you saying? | ||
| On the road to Damascus. | ||
| I can't understand you, Dan. | ||
| Are you speaking French? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Those dudes, very specifically, the point of the stories is that they were bad and they had a coming-to-Jesus moment that transformed them. | ||
| In every way. | ||
| It transformed everything about them. | ||
| They weren't the same people. | ||
| They didn't hang out with the same people. | ||
| They changed their mode of being. | ||
| Donald Trump has never admitted he's wrong about anything. | ||
| If you've read Trump's story, you know that he changed. | ||
| From? | ||
| The thing. | ||
| The thing. | ||
| He changed from, I assume, larvae into Trump. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He blossomed like a butterfly into the sociopathic monster he has been since the age of nine. | ||
| I mean, that's an interesting theory that his road to Damascus moment was at age three, are you saying? | ||
| Yeah, something around there. | ||
| Maybe... | ||
| It's just such nonsense. | ||
| Maybe he will. | ||
| But you know what's fucked up? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wouldn't that be fun? | |
| You know what's fucked up in that clip, even? | ||
| Is that he's saying, you know, like, David, Saul. | ||
| Trump wasn't even bad to begin with. | ||
| He's saying that he's better than King David. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because he has less to change. | ||
| Well, he's never killed his wife, or he's never killed his friend's wife, or he's never killed his friend to fuck his wife. | ||
| He did beat the shit out of his wife once. | ||
| He did fuck other people's wives. | ||
| Apparently, yes, he did do that. | ||
| He didn't have killed first. | ||
| Come on, that's mean. | ||
| May or may not have had sex with his daughter. | ||
| Vince Foster died? | ||
| But that's in the Bible, too. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| That is in the Bible. | ||
| Yeah, but then the daughter was at fault. | ||
| King David killed his daughter to have sex with her. | ||
| So at this point, Alex is like, all right, we had a great call. | ||
| Maybe we can do this call thing. | ||
| Maybe it's going to work out. | ||
| So he decides to take another call. | ||
| Let's try one more. | ||
| Let's roll those cracks. | ||
| Let's try one more time to go back to Tennessee. | ||
| Can you hear me? | ||
| Go ahead, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hello, Alex. | |
| Yes, sir. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, I guess Chad hung up. | |
| I'm a different caller. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm not mad, but I don't know what's going on with the phone system, okay? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alex, Alex, I'm going to ask you something. | |
| I'm having trouble. | ||
| I love your show, and I have trouble listening to it because your app doesn't work with iOS 11. I hear you, brother. | ||
| There's a lot of stuff that doesn't work around here. | ||
| That's delightful. | ||
| That's so good. | ||
| Alex! | ||
| Alex! | ||
|
unidentified
|
I have some tech support questions for you. | |
| Alex, here's what I disagree with you on. | ||
| The new update for iOS. | ||
| All these questions should be directed to Rob Do. | ||
| He's the nerd around here. | ||
| This leads to at least... | ||
| So InfoWars listeners are the smartest people on the planet. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| This leads to at least seven minutes of him rambling about how, like, I have tried so hard to get that app fixed. | ||
| He claims it's a globalist plot. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| And that there are too many leftists in the tech world. | ||
| Naturally. | ||
| It's just like, I try, you know, all of Humpty Dumpty's men couldn't put this thing back together. | ||
| Nonsense. | ||
| Nonsense. | ||
| Get a coder. | ||
| I paid someone $600 to make that app a... | ||
| Years ago. | ||
| I was like, oh boy, you're weird. | ||
| You're getting weird. | ||
| And he was weird. | ||
| He was very weird. | ||
| But we only have a couple more clips left because he decides at that point, done with calls. | ||
| I have too much news to get through. | ||
| I think once you get a tech support call on air, time to be done with calls. | ||
| I have too many clips to get through. | ||
| Too much news. | ||
| Too much news! | ||
| How can you survive without all this news? | ||
| A lot of his news time is taken up complaining about Muslims raping people in Sweden. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| And that narrative is tired. | ||
| It's an issue. | ||
| And a lot of the rest of it is him playing a David Horowitz clip, maybe? | ||
| Dershowitz. | ||
| Alan Dershowitz. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Excuse me. | |
| David Horowitz is a very different guy. | ||
| But he has a Dershowitz clip. | ||
| He's got a good old-fashioned Dershowitz clip? | ||
| Well, it's making the argument that Mueller has shown that he has nothing because of this indictment. | ||
| And it's the narrative that's being pitched that all he could get him on was this lying to the FBI. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| And now if that is true, which I don't believe it is, I believe it's leverage, but again, I can't prove that. | ||
| That's just my suspicion. | ||
| If it is true... | ||
| But it is true, and it is true. | ||
| But if Flynn being guilty to that could get him five years in prison, so... | ||
| Not enough. | ||
| Not terrible, but at this point in his life, you don't want to do that. | ||
| Feet. | ||
| Shins. | ||
| Knees. | ||
| Thighs. | ||
| Balls. | ||
| Balls again. | ||
| It seems unlikely. | ||
| But the other thing that Dershowitz is bringing up in this clip is that because Flynn has been shown to be a liar, he's not going to be a good witness later for anything that he might be proffering and that sort of thing. | ||
| Yeah, probably true. | ||
| Maybe, but that's also super interesting to me because one of the other things that belies is almost the entirety of Alex Jones' narrative that Hillary and Obama fund ISIS is based on Michael Flynn appearing on foreign TV saying things to that effect. | ||
| So, if Alex Jones wants to play the game that Mike Flynn is not going to be a credible witness, you might have to re-examine some of the bedrocks of your... | ||
| You know... | ||
| Anyway, it's not important. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's not important. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He's not going to do that and no one cares. | ||
| I have something to say about that, but it doesn't matter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Let's get to this next clip because this is one of the other news stories that he's got to get to. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, it's just... | ||
| Peter from Idaho, we're going to get back to you. | ||
| I have another tech support issue. | ||
| And it's like the most racist crap I've ever heard. | ||
| And they're just spewing... | ||
| And I know it's meant to make me racist. | ||
| I know they want to just divide everybody now. | ||
| They want to get away from the Christian ethos. | ||
| Of King David. | ||
| They found an article where they're saying dogs are racist. | ||
| Well, it's true that if a dog is being raised by a black family and is around a lot of white folks, it might bark at you because it's not used to your color. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| But it's not a racist thing. | ||
| It's that it doesn't recognize you. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So, anyways, the point is that this is getting crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cool. | |
| The point is, what was I talking about? | ||
| Dogs. | ||
| Wait, no. | ||
| The point is not dogs. | ||
| This is getting crazy. | ||
| The point is, shit's going wild. | ||
| So, like, okay, let's take just the first and most obvious piece of this. | ||
| Who is hosting this shit? | ||
| Is it Nick Cannon? | ||
| Because this is wild now. | ||
| He's making, like, even in his brain, he can't go to, like, white people made a dog racist against black people. | ||
| He's got to say it's a black family with a racist dog towards white people. | ||
| But it's not racism. | ||
| They just aren't familiar with you. | ||
| So he flashes up on screen the article, so I know exactly what it was, and I was able to hunt it down. | ||
| And it is an article from January 3rd, 2013. | ||
| Right on time. | ||
| Timely stuff. | ||
| Why are dogs racist? | ||
| Canine experts speak. | ||
| Again, from four years ago on Gawker. | ||
| That is no longer a website. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| No longer an active website. | ||
| Dogs, why are they so racist? | ||
| You know, the type prancing along as merry as can be until a human of a certain skin tone walks by and then bang! | ||
| All of the barking and snarling and biting. | ||
| It's been a source of uncomfortable comedy for years. | ||
| Some dogs are just racist. | ||
| But why? | ||
| We turn to the real live dog psychology experts to find out. | ||
| Linda Michaels, dog psychologist, and Victoria Stillwell, dog trainer. | ||
| Here's their quote. | ||
| Are they a lesbian couple? | ||
| Because that would make me so happy. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| I think Victoria Stillwell is like a dog training school or something like that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, okay. | |
| Because it's one person with a credit. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Although a dog may appear to be racist, that's not possible. | ||
| Racism requires complex thinking and other higher cognitive functions that canines simply don't possess. | ||
| Her answer is... | ||
| It's a fucking dog! | ||
| Right. | ||
| A dog may react in fear-based aggression to a person of color for two reasons. | ||
| One, insufficient positive association and early socialization to people of all races. | ||
| Or two, a traumatic incident with a person of color that is now generalized to all people of color. | ||
| Sounds like Alex. | ||
| Sounds like Alex is a dog. | ||
| And that's pretty much the consensus on all these things. | ||
| Her answer is, it's a fucking dog. | ||
| Shut up. | ||
| Susie Schaefer's quote, Colorado's own dog whisperer. | ||
| That's her title. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Dogs are not racist! | ||
| Exclamation point. | ||
| It's a fucking dog! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Anthony Newman, let's refine the question. | ||
| 99% of people who say their dog is racist really mean their dog doesn't seem to like some dark-skinned people. | ||
| Very few cases of dogs tending to dislike light-skinned people are reported. | ||
| Uh-oh, Alex, your example that you just brought up is nonsense. | ||
| But again, he just goes on to say, dog's not racist. | ||
| So even the article that Alex is pointing out is a four-year-old article that makes the opposite point that he's pretending the media is making. | ||
| What a fucking idiot! | ||
| Quick question. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Can dogs commit blood libel? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I saw an article on Gawker about it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good deal. | |
| I'm sorry. | ||
| It was on Deadspin. | ||
| Way to update that reference. | ||
| Still timely. | ||
| So on this next clip, we're going to go with the last one. | ||
| I kept this in because it's going to make you furious. | ||
| Boy, howdy. | ||
| Let's end this on an angry note. | ||
| Please mic down until the end of the clip and then feel free to scream. | ||
| Even on Fox, they go, Democrats think tax cuts are bad for the Republicans. | ||
| Republicans think they're good. | ||
| You can debate taxes. | ||
| You can debate deficits. | ||
| You can debate the future. | ||
| But tax cuts now to bring back $4 trillion in overseas money and to bring back trillions to middle class and poor taxpayers. | ||
| Is going to cause a giant boom in the economy, bigger than we've already seen. | ||
| Most analysts say a 10% growth rate. | ||
| 7 to 10%, but 10's the middle. | ||
| Some estimates are 12% because they've had us suppressed so long. | ||
| Now, is that going to be good? | ||
| Just in a Machiavellian way, for the Republicans and for Trump, yeah, it's going to be good to have four to six years of boom. | ||
| Now, if we don't cut... | ||
| Or at least freeze spending. | ||
| It'll create a big deficit like what happened with Reagan. | ||
| They got the tax cuts. | ||
| They never got the cuts. | ||
| You've got to freeze the spending. | ||
| Then you cut taxes. | ||
| More money comes in, generally, because it spurs the economy. | ||
| Then you pay down the debt with that. | ||
| That's what's got to happen. | ||
| Bare minimum freeze the spending. | ||
| But will tax cuts help the country? | ||
| Does a bear go poo-poo in the woods? | ||
| So, there's a lot of stuff at play there. | ||
| I think one of the things at the end that's super telling is the idea that it's like these tax cuts and we have to get rid of all of these programs and stuff. | ||
| Oh, do we? | ||
| Oh! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Are you saying that maybe the entire reason behind those tax cuts is one, to give more money to the rich people, and two, to get rid of all entitlement spending? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well... | |
| The tax cuts are about cutting Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, and getting rid of Obamacare entirely. | ||
| That's what all the tax cuts are about. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Doesn't fucking matter. | ||
| That's what they've been going for the entire time. | ||
| They're going to do it in the next two to three years. | ||
| That's the only way. | ||
| And the Democrats are going to fucking roll over on it because they're giant pussies. | ||
| They're fucking pussies. | ||
| It's pathetic. | ||
| Everything about this bullshit is going to destroy the economy for the next 10 years. | ||
| As if we didn't fucking need it destroyed already. | ||
| No. | ||
|
unidentified
|
As if the rich didn't have... | |
| These people need to fucking... | ||
| Go away. | ||
| Every last fucking one of them. | ||
| If you are a fucking... | ||
| Fucking fuck this. | ||
| Fuck this. | ||
| He is fucking lying. | ||
| Do you know what growth is going to come from that fucking tax cut? | ||
| Maybe 1%. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| And that's going to last for the first six fucking months. | ||
| Because all the regular people are going to wind up getting is less than $1,000 back. | ||
| Less than $1,000 extra. | ||
| And that's only going to last for the first four fucking years. | ||
| If it does at all. | ||
| This is... | ||
| He's fucking insane! | ||
| He's just lying directly to his people. | ||
| He's lying directly to them. | ||
| He's not fucking dissembling. | ||
| He's not pretending. | ||
| He's not fucking... | ||
| He's lying straight out of his fucking teeth. | ||
| Because it doesn't matter how fucking stupid you are, if you don't look at exactly what happened to Reagan and exactly what happened to the first time we tried trickle-down economics, do you know what happened? | ||
| Everybody got fucked. | ||
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And that's why it's telling. | ||
| I could have gone on for so much longer. | ||
| I know you could have. | ||
| I wanted to start in the Reagan era and then go through how the Democrats have failed us throughout the entire situation. | ||
| Then I wanted to go into the George Bush era whenever he did his giant fucking tax cut and, oh, we need to fucking cut spending and let's go to fucking Iraq. | ||
| And then I want to go into Obama and how he fucking fucked us again, the same way the Democrats have always fucking done. | ||
| This is fucking... | ||
| If we don't have an FDR... | ||
| We get it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We get it. | |
| I'm sorry. | ||
| You're preaching to the choir of the wonks. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I'm fucking furious about this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| I know. | ||
| I just want to find somebody, anybody, anybody to yell at right now. | ||
| Well, don't take it out on our audience. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm sorry it's you. | |
| I'm sorry, Policy Wonks. | ||
| I love you very much. | ||
| This is my fault. | ||
| You're getting rave reviews for that rant in the chat room. | ||
| I can't fucking... | ||
| It's... | ||
| How can you get... | ||
| How can you actually listen to this shit? | ||
| How can you do this? | ||
| It's tough. | ||
| I told you earlier, it's tough. | ||
| How can all of it... | ||
|
unidentified

No, I mean, you can't just listen to the news and they just lie. | |
| They're lying. | ||
| And the media doesn't fucking do anything. | ||
| They don't just go, that's not fucking true. | ||
| You're a liar. | ||
| Go away. | ||
| Like, that's all you need to do. | ||
| That's all that needs to be done. | ||
| They don't need any fucking... | ||
| Get out of here. | ||

|
Go! | |
| Jones, get out of here. | ||
| Just go. | ||
| You're in time out. | ||
| We're not going to allow Mitch McConnell on fucking TV anymore until you stop fucking lying. | ||
| Paul Ryan, I hope you get fucked in the ass by anybody. | ||
| Anybody with a very long thing. | ||
| Doesn't matter how fucking long it is. | ||
| Really long. | ||
| Really fucking long. | ||
| Get in there. | ||
| I want his intestines to be straight. | ||
| No more curls. | ||
| Miles and miles of just straight up fucking broom right through his goddamn body. | ||
| This is... | ||

I'm sorry. | |
| Just doing a take to the camera there. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| There's no point. | ||
| I'm going to smoke a post-coital cigarette. | ||
| Yeah, these are just now becoming your aggressive fantasies. | ||
| You're Alex Jones-ing. | ||
| I know! | ||
| I can't help myself! | ||
| You're Jones-ing. | ||
| This is fucking insane! | ||
| They're just... | ||
| Lying directly to us! | ||
| And everybody's so fucking stupid. | ||
| What I think is magical, too, about the way that Alex presents it, I mean, I agree with most of what you're saying. | ||
| Just for my own safety's sake, I'm going to say some of that violent stuff. | ||
| Just the Paul Ryan part? | ||
| Everything else is not true, but just the Paul Ryan part. | ||
| Sure, I'm for the tax cuts. | ||
| The Paul Ryan stuff, right on. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| No, the thing... | ||
| That I would like to speak to is the idea that what Alex is saying is these tax cuts are great. | ||
| But it's not going to do anything unless we also strip back all of these programs. | ||
| And one of the things that he's accidentally showing his cards on and he's giving away is that the tax cuts aren't going to do anything. | ||
| They're going to get rich people more money. | ||
| What is going to save money is taking away things from people because you are depriving them of things that already cost a ton of money. | ||
| All that money that the rich people are going to save and corporations are going to save is taken from you. | ||
| And it's not going in. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's not going in anywhere. | ||
| At very least, what it's going to do is it's going to stay outside in protected tax shelters and shit like that. | ||
| Do you know what generates... | ||
| It is entirely about stripping away those things. | ||
| What generates money for the government is the middle class and the poor having more money. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Because then they spend that money. | ||
| The wealthy don't spend money. | ||
| They hoard money. | ||
| Or they spend it on bullshit. | ||
| They invest in speculation and stuff. | ||
| And even then, it's not something that's real. | ||
| It's not something that actually goes towards building things. | ||
| How is it that everybody's still so fucking... | ||
| No one invests in a mom-and-pop shop in the stock market. | ||
| I know! | ||
| I know! | ||
| It's so fucking simple, and it's historically... | ||
| It's not like the Republicans are like, hey guys, we've never tried this shit before. | ||
| I'm going to blow your minds. | ||
| The company that I used to work at right before I went on this, whatever this is, is a small business. | ||
| This attempt to listen to a crazy man ramble? | ||
| Yeah, it's a small business. | ||
| In two directions. | ||
| You're listening to one there and then one here. | ||
| I got you coming and going. | ||
| So this business was a small business. | ||
| Was run by an individual who was hands-on. | ||
| He ended up, when times got bad, he had to become a salesman and help out. | ||
| He was very actively involved, had an office in the building. | ||
| The people who started the company with him were still there. | ||
| In terms of actual in-office employees, there were like 15 or something like that. | ||
| It is a small business. | ||
| They were bringing in, you know, in the realms of a couple million a year or something along those lines. | ||
| It is not a publicly traded company. | ||
| Nope. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I worry now that I've put their business on the streets, but I have not said who they are. | |
| Who cares? | ||
| I apologize. | ||
| They didn't give you a raise. | ||
| They can go fuck themselves. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a good point. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But investment, stock market stuff, the economy doing better only helps indirectly in very infinitesimal ways. | |
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It would never buoy them. | |
| It would never... | ||
| All these businesses on the same level wouldn't be helped by that. | ||
| The middle class growing, the ability for them to give me a raise... | ||
| Wouldn't be helped by these tax cuts. | ||
| That sort of thing. | ||
| All it would do is incentivize them to not cover things for my benefits. | ||
| And even if the guy who ran the company was... | ||
| Because one of the big things that they do is they lower what's called the pass-through rate. | ||
| So the pass-through rate goes from 35% to 20%, which is... | ||
| Because a lot of the companies that do that pass-through rate are investment banks, are those types of things, where they classify the investment bank's income as this dude's income, as opposed to an actual business. | ||
| You lower that to 20%. | ||
| Like I was saying, even if that guy is doing that, even if that guy is running the pass-through rate, he's not going to get a ton of money back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| It's not going to be a huge amount for him. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| But some people, it will be. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And congratulations. | ||
| That's great that we live in a world where this has to be a reality. | ||
| And we have to live in a world where Sam Seder gets fired from MSNBC. | ||
| And we have to live in a world where now we know pretty much all of our national parks and stuff probably aren't coming. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| They're going away. | ||
| We have to live in a world where Roy Moore is going to win. | ||
| No, this can't. | ||
| This can't continue. | ||
| Oh, it's going to continue. | ||
| No, I mean, not in just a this can't continue, like this is so bad we can't allow this to continue. | ||
| I mean, it's an unsustainable situation. | ||
| Oh, totally. | ||
| Every time this has been done, there has been a crash. | ||
| There will be a crash because of this. | ||
| And the ensuing difficulty that will come after that is that difficult economic times. | ||
| I mean, the disparaging, the difference between the haves and have-nots now, let's say, is unsustainable to a very serious degree. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And it causes societies to fall apart. | ||
| But when they fall apart and everybody has nothing, that's when fascism takes hold. | ||
| That is when you have to really be worried about these things, such as the blood libel narratives that Alex Jones promotes. | ||
| Because you want a strong man to just fix it. | ||
| Because the inevitable thing here with these tax cuts and with the direction everything is going is a bubble bursting. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because there's a lot of artificial enthusiasm. | ||
| Look at how high the stock market is right now. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Look at how high it is right now. | ||
| It'll never stop. | ||
| It's going to end next year. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's dumb of us to make a prediction of when. | ||
| But when it does, I will make this prediction. | ||
| Alex will blame the globalists. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And the GOP will blame the poor. | ||
| And knowing how Alex Jones' audience is probably pretty clear at this point that we know who the globalists are, it will be very easy for them to scapegoat and blame. | ||
| They'll probably actually go with Muslims. | ||
| It's probably easier. | ||
| The only good thing about this is that during those dark times, before fascism takes hold, we will get to kill some people. | ||
| That is going to happen. | ||
| There will be a purge? | ||
| It always happens. | ||
| Sure, there's going to be a fascist dictator that rises. | ||
| You're Napoleon. | ||
| You're Hitler. | ||
| Whatever you like. | ||
| But in those intervening times... | ||
| We're going to get to chop some heads off. | ||
| I will politely decline the actually murdering. | ||
| I understand, and I agree with you. | ||
| In principle. | ||
| But, believe me, when they do come, you're going to come on over to my side. | ||
| I'll help you from the... | ||
| The shadows. | ||
| You're going to be ready. | ||
| Anyway, let's not give out our plans. | ||
| You're going to be my campaign murder manager. | ||
| I'll be your Alex Jones. | ||
| Yeah. | ||

Hey! | |

| Next episode we'll take calls from critical listeners. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That would be fun. | ||
| And then I just... | ||
| You know, there's just one guy who I think is really at fault. | ||
| For all of these tax cuts. | ||
| And I imagine this guy... | ||
| For all of our... | ||
| I think I know who you're talking about. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This guy, if you tried to get him in a guillotine, he'd catch that fucking blade in his chompers. | ||
| That's why we're going to start at the feet. | ||
| He's got robot teeth. | ||
| He's got robot teeth. | ||
| They were made by CIA dentist David Bowie. | ||
| Transmit all of the vaccine information to people all around the world. | ||
| Chompa-chompa. | ||
| And this guy. | ||
| The ringleader behind all of this. | ||
| I just have a few words for him. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| John Rappaport, go fuck yourself. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
