#127: February 8, 2018

Dan Friesen and Jordan Holmes dissect Alex Jones’ February 8, 2018 episode, mocking his baseless Bitcoin claims (e.g., Roger Ver’s unverified Satoshi Nakamoto ties), eugenics misrepresentations (Holdren’s 1970s textbook), and transphobic distortions—like falsely linking suicide rates to "forced" transitions. His derogatory language ("tranny," racial slurs) and self-proclaimed "policy wonk" status, paired with blasphemous rants (renouncing Christ), expose a pattern of performative outrage and cognitive rigidity. The hosts dismiss his conspiracy-laden rhetoric as disingenuous, urging critical media consumption while highlighting his legal and moral inconsistencies. [Automatically generated summary]

Speaker Time Text
alex jones
Andy in Tanzos.
You're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
I'm a first-time caller.
I'm a huge fan.
jordan holmes
I love your work.
alex jones
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple of dudes.
I like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Indeed, it is, Dan.
Dan, somebody stay up until this late on a school night, Dan.
Well, on a school night.
dan friesen
First of all, it's your Friday.
jordan holmes
It is my Friday.
dan friesen
One of our dear listeners is possibly getting furloughed from the government.
So that's a good reason to stay up.
jordan holmes
That is a good reason.
dan friesen
Beyond that, I don't know.
A lot of people are listening to this tomorrow.
Fair.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
That's a good point.
dan friesen
You dick.
jordan holmes
That is a good point.
I'm not sullying our other listeners.
I'm just saying that there are plenty of people, a larger amount of people than we have any right to expect.
Right.
dan friesen
Which we appreciate.
jordan holmes
Listening to us live tonight at 10:30 on Thursday.
dan friesen
And you know why?
Because I know a lot about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
I don't know a goddamn thing about Alex Jones.
dan friesen
Tonight's novelty beverage is Burnt City Brewery Face Melter Hibiscus IPA.
jordan holmes
We shall be melting faces.
dan friesen
Tastes pretty good.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it actually does.
dan friesen
I don't know if it's what a hibiscus tastes like.
I've never eaten a hibiscus.
jordan holmes
I actually don't know what a hibiscus is.
dan friesen
So it's a flower.
It's like a tropical flower.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay, now I know what it is.
dan friesen
So, Jordan, today I want to.
I don't know what I wanted to start with, but I had something.
I really did.
I really had something.
jordan holmes
Fuck.
Do you know what?
dan friesen
I got so distracted by the burnt city hibiscus.
jordan holmes
I have a terrible pun that I refuse to say.
dan friesen
Oh, no, you know what it was?
The reason we're doing this so late is because you're too successful at stand-up comedy.
Sure.
Yes.
jordan holmes
Making in the tens of dollars.
dan friesen
Indeed.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So I don't know.
That wasn't worth going back to.
Now.
So, Jordan, today we're going to be going over the February 8th, 2018 episode of the Alex Jones show.
That's Thursday of this week.
And I will say this.
I'm going to tell you this right now.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
This is going to be a lot of fun until it's not.
jordan holmes
Great.
Just roll.
Don't give me intros.
Now I'm dreading what's going to happen.
dan friesen
No, that's why we're drinking.
jordan holmes
It's increased my fun.
dan friesen
That's why we're having some booze because by the time the booze kicks in, we'll be at the point where we need to be drunk to handle it.
unidentified
All right, all right.
dan friesen
But to give you some sense of where we're going here is an awful lot of people.
jordan holmes
You know, you have neighbors, right?
dan friesen
No, that's why you can't scream.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you should have front-loaded the rage part.
dan friesen
I don't know if it's rage.
I think it's a lot of unpacking.
jordan holmes
Just bummer.
dan friesen
Well, it's a bummer, and it's a lot of trying to get to the bottom of what he's even trying to say.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
But here is an out-of-context drop from today's episode.
alex jones
We're not lying to you.
dan friesen
Sounds believable.
jordan holmes
If you are not lying to people, you don't have to scream.
We're not lying at you.
dan friesen
Yeah, generally, when someone yells at you about what they're doing or not doing, it's best to take that with a very large salt lick.
jordan holmes
I'm not mad at you.
I'm just.
Look, I don't know about body language so well.
dan friesen
I've got questions about that.
So today, there's a lot to go over.
I mean, the show's dog shit.
It's very stupid.
But there are a couple things that I'm going to have to point out that, like, I just don't have clips from them because boys got to prioritize.
And I've had a fucking full day, quite frankly.
jordan holmes
Yeah, because you fucking wrecked Alex Jones.
dan friesen
A shout out to our policy watcher funny John.
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely, John.
dan friesen
We got to the bottom of some stuff about Alex Jones' new website, FortifiedSupply.com.
And actually, we should put a pin in that just because it's going to come up later.
We can discuss the details of that at that point.
But I have probably put in a 16-hour day at this point today doing this shit.
jordan holmes
I'm pretty much at what?
I'm at 14 right now, so let's fucking roll, man.
dan friesen
That's why we need these beers and what have you.
But that's to say that I've been working on a ton of Alex Jones stuff between that write-up, the endgame documentary that we will be putting out in the very near future and this episode.
And some of these narratives are worth just mentioning in passing, but at the same time, like, who gives a shit?
jordan holmes
After I read your thing, I've just been Googling how to make a citizen's arrest all day.
dan friesen
I don't think it qualifies for a citizen.
I don't think we have standing to sue him either.
It's like, I don't know.
I don't even know the legal process of what to do.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
dan friesen
We're very confused.
jordan holmes
We're mad.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That sounds like standing.
dan friesen
So here's the first.
jordan holmes
He bums us out.
dan friesen
You know what else bums me out?
jordan holmes
Oh, nice transition.
dan friesen
Donald Trump.
jordan holmes
Who?
dan friesen
If you're nasty.
Mr. Trump, if you're nasty.
He has come up with this idea that he's going to have this military parade.
jordan holmes
I know.
It is hilarious to me.
dan friesen
There's some problems with it.
jordan holmes
No, I love it.
dan friesen
But here's one of the problems that I didn't foresee.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Alex Jones knows where he got the idea.
Some might say authoritarian regimes.
Just a little spoiler alert.
The last time America had a full-on military parade.
jordan holmes
1943?
dan friesen
No, it was the end of the Gulf War in 1991.
unidentified
Really?
dan friesen
Yeah, but beyond that.
jordan holmes
That seems too soon.
dan friesen
Beyond that, there are showings of military pageantry on Veterans Day and stuff like that that are just yearly holidays.
But the last one was in 1991 when we pulled out of the Gulf War.
So to give some context, it's been, what, 27 years?
jordan holmes
Also, that's not the time to have a military parade.
dan friesen
No.
So anyway, where did he get?
unidentified
We failed.
jordan holmes
Hooray!
dan friesen
We're going to pretend this was a W.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So mission accomplished.
dan friesen
That wasn't a parade.
But here's where.
jordan holmes
It's just as pathetic.
dan friesen
My dude, here's where.
jordan holmes
Anyways, I'm sorry to keep interrupting you.
I will not interrupt you any further.
dan friesen
Here's where we got.
jordan holmes
Never.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
Two days ago, President Trump came out and announced that he was going to call for a military parade.
That's why they really hate Trump because Matt Drudge had that idea last year, pushed it.
jordan holmes
What?
alex jones
And I know for a fact, that's what made Trump even think of it.
For a fact.
And see, it's the access that the people have.
If you get a letter to Trump, or if he reads something on Drudge or InfoWars, if he thinks it makes sense, he'll look into it and he'll do it.
Just like he learns in InfoWars that Sheriff Joe was going to prison.
He made some phone calls, couldn't believe it.
He said, why hasn't that been on Fox?
He found out it was true, and he did it.
And the White House admitted, yeah, they got the information from Dr. Jerome Coursey, who hand-deliberate the White House and got it through to the president.
They hate that type of access, you see.
dan friesen
Yeah, you see, they hate that kind of access.
jordan holmes
I think that if I had a perfect world, we would remove Joe Arpaio's feet tomorrow.
He would just have no feet.
There would be no wheelchairs anywhere near him, no prosthetics.
He is just a man with no feet.
dan friesen
Just a little waddly.
jordan holmes
That's what I want.
dan friesen
I feel like that would probably be a very generous result for him.
jordan holmes
You know, I just want him to be punished slowly for a long time until he dies.
dan friesen
It would be inconvenient.
jordan holmes
I don't believe that torture is a good way to get information out of people because it's been proven that it's a terrible idea.
dan friesen
My friend.
However, we've got the information.
Exactly.
jordan holmes
We know.
We don't need to torture him for a reason other than to punish him for his crimes against humanity.
dan friesen
Yeah.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
So I like the idea that Drudge is, for a fact, responsible for this military parade.
I don't care to unpack that.
I don't care if it's true because if it is, that's fucked up.
If it's not, still fucked up.
jordan holmes
Why would you say it?
Why, if it's not true, why does Drudge want that on his record?
dan friesen
Realistically, the only, like, I don't, I don't know.
It's tough to war games things when people are kind of crazy, but, like, I don't really see a reasonable motive for having a huge military parade with tanks.
Like a Bastille Day-style French.
jordan holmes
Of course not.
dan friesen
I don't like that the French do it, quite frankly.
jordan holmes
You know what?
You win some, you lose some.
dan friesen
But it's also their country.
Yeah.
I'm not going to tell their country what to do.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you guys figure it out.
dan friesen
It's their business.
Nationalism.
jordan holmes
You want to get a new Napoleon?
Fucking fine.
I don't give a shit.
dan friesen
Right.
And Alex goes on to talk about how Russia has Victory Day, and that's a really big thing.
And they have military demonstrations, and it's cool because they're celebrating the end of World War II.
And that is true.
And the Russians, the USSR, Soviet Union, was incredibly important in the end of World War II.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
They took on heavy fucking losses.
jordan holmes
11 million.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's insane.
Compared to other countries.
jordan holmes
All other casualties combined, I think, is the statistic.
Russians took the hit.
dan friesen
I believe that that is probably accurate.
The all others combined.
jordan holmes
Something along those lines.
I mean, not counting Japan and China, in which case, then you get into the whole thing.
Anyways.
dan friesen
So them having a militaristic Victory Day parade is totally in line with, like, yeah, that's a piece of history that makes sense to celebrate in that way, in the same way we do Veterans Day and stuff like that.
But I think one of the chief complaints that people are making when I looked into it and read some articles on it, the people who are complaining about Putin's Victory Day celebrations, it's that in the last few years, it's been getting very Soviet.
jordan holmes
Really?
Who could have guessed?
dan friesen
A lot of Soviet imagery is creeping back up in terms of like Soviet uniforms being worn by some of the soldiers.
Wait, what?
A little bit of Stalin revisionism.
jordan holmes
That's not good.
dan friesen
There's a little bit of that stuff going on and far before.
jordan holmes
Wait, so is Stalin now taken out of his own pictures as well?
unidentified
Is that how that?
All right.
jordan holmes
That's a solid history joke, and fuck you.
dan friesen
I'm not saying it's not.
I just went over my head.
jordan holmes
Oh, no, the whole thing, whenever Stalin would kill one of his buddies, if this buddy was in a picture with him, he would then be removed from the picture.
dan friesen
It's like one of those creeps who takes out the eyes.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
unidentified
I see.
dan friesen
I see.
I was unaware of that little tidbit of history.
jordan holmes
It's a nice little piece of history.
dan friesen
That's why Knowledge Fight is about education.
But you know what else it's about?
jordan holmes
Removing Joe Arpaio's feet?
dan friesen
No, well, one day.
But for now, it's about making fun of Alex Jones's craven attempts to make money.
And so it is in that spirit that I'm going to play you this next clip, which is a commercial that Alex Jones has just released.
That's very exciting.
jordan holmes
It's pre-taped.
Yes, yes.
This is in the live.
There's no pivot to this ad.
dan friesen
No, no, no, no.
This is a pre-taped commercial, and it also is the voiceover talent is not Alex.
It is one.
Owen.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
Owen.
jordan holmes
So badass.
dan friesen
Slayer Schroer.
Enjoy.
owen shroyer
Every year, we spend hundreds of dollars on chocolates, jewelry, and sappy cards for Valentine's Day.
It's time to get a gift that will really make the sparks fly with the InfoWars Life, his and Hers pack, now at 40% off.
Get our two fan favorite products, Super Male Vitality and Super Female Vitality, that help boost vitality and energy for less.
You've already taken care of Valentine's Day.
Make sure you and your significant other have an incredible Valentine's night.
dan friesen
Why don't you just fucking say it's a boner pill already?
Just say it's a boner pill.
owen shroyer
We know.
dan friesen
We know it's a boner pill.
jordan holmes
What are you doing?
dan friesen
You guys have already taken care of Valentine's Day.
Now let us help you with Valentine's Night.
Unless you are, unless you are a senior citizen, I can't imagine any point in a relationship where you're like, look, we had a great Valentine's Day.
I love you.
I'm attracted to you.
I'm very excited for this.
Let's both take eye droplets of serum in order to get us to fuck each other.
unidentified
All right.
jordan holmes
So, very weird.
Now, very weird.
This is again where InfoWars is fucked up.
All right?
Because the obvious.
unidentified
Well, add it to the list.
jordan holmes
Because obviously, if you're going to run a Valentine's Day special, you put the male and female vitality into chocolates.
Like one of those RJ, you know, with the filled chocolates.
dan friesen
We have historical evidence that supermale vitality pairs only with burgers.
So you can't actually have it with sweets.
jordan holmes
Well, Alex likes to take a little bit of the super female vitality.
dan friesen
That's true.
He doesn't want to tell you.
jordan holmes
He likes it better.
dan friesen
He does want to tell you.
unidentified
He says it all the fucking time.
dan friesen
He feels guilty about it.
jordan holmes
So wait.
So, okay.
So in between race baiting, Muslim hating, just white nationalism.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
They're also like, guys, you want InfoWars to teach you how to fuck.
That's what you need.
dan friesen
It's not like the Kama Sutra.
I mean, it's just to put the Kundalini into your balls, penis rising kind of stuff.
It's not teaching you the how of it.
It's giving you the why.
jordan holmes
Right.
These guys are such bros.
Like, you halfway expect the commercial to end with, like, hey, you need to lay some pipe, plumber.
unidentified
Like, like that kind of bullshit, fucking terrible read.
jordan holmes
Yeah, fuck you guys.
dan friesen
Or it's end up being a commercial for like Spanish fly or something like that.
I don't, or Funky Cold Medina.
jordan holmes
Ooh, now there we go.
What's Tone Loku up to these days?
I don't know.
I bet he could be got for InfoWars.
dan friesen
He could.
unidentified
Shit.
jordan holmes
I bet he could be got for us.
dan friesen
Yeah, we should call Tone Lok.
jordan holmes
Oh, for sure.
dan friesen
He was in a great couple episodes of news radio.
jordan holmes
He was.
He's awesome.
dan friesen
But also, Funky Cold Medina is a very problematic song.
jordan holmes
I don't want to talk very clearly.
I don't want to go back and look into Funky Cold Medina.
I just want to remember Surf Ninjas, the greatest movie of all time.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
Schneider.
I'm trying to think of another star.
Can't.
jordan holmes
What are you talking about?
Leslie Nielsen.
dan friesen
He wasn't one of the principals.
jordan holmes
He was the bad guy.
He was the main villain, man.
dan friesen
He was like four on the call sheet.
jordan holmes
And then there was that one guy, and then probably that kid from Three Ninjas, but who is also a surf ninja?
dan friesen
I always get surf ninjas and three ninjas confused.
Yeah, same thing.
Anyway, in this next clip, Alex has a deceitful complaint he wants to make about the left.
alex jones
It is the left at college campuses across this country that first started banning words like the N-word out of literature.
dan friesen
All right.
You cool?
jordan holmes
All right.
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Should we start this up?
jordan holmes
You know what?
You know what?
I'm going to take that win.
I'm going to take that one on the left as an ambassador for the left.
Yes, we're proud to have banned the N-word that you guys still somehow say, and we don't stop you from saying because we never fucking banned it.
dan friesen
No one banned anything.
alex jones
You can't.
dan friesen
No.
Anyway, let's start this from the top.
jordan holmes
All right.
alex jones
It is the left at college campuses across this country.
jordan holmes
That's great.
alex jones
That first started banning words like the N-word.
jordan holmes
How damn it.
dan friesen
Just really quick.
I know that that's the exact same spot I paused before, but it bears mentioning that he's saying that in almost like a negative way.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no, no, no.
dan friesen
Like, first of all, they didn't ban the N-word.
I went to college and a lot of people threw that around.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
Well, you went to college and deserved it.
dan friesen
Now.
But like at the same time, he's saying it.
And I understand it comes from this weird libertarian place of like being against the Civil Rights Act, but saying you're not racist.
You're just like, I don't want to restrict business.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
That sort of stuff.
It's kind of in that same parcel, but it's very weird.
jordan holmes
It's obviously racist.
dan friesen
It's very weird for someone to be like, I am against efforts to get white people to not say the N-word so much.
It's very weird.
unidentified
Furthermore, you lead up to that one.
jordan holmes
If you're coming out the gate with the left banned the N-word as a bad thing, nowhere to go.
Well, also, you're already wrong and a monster.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, look, quite frankly, like, Michael Richards can't have a career anymore.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He can't really work, but he's still a fucking millionaire.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Still a multi-millionaire.
He didn't have anything destroyed for him.
Like, what fucking work was he doing after Seinfeld?
Well, he was in like two movies.
jordan holmes
He did that Seinfeld reunion season of Curb.
dan friesen
Right, but that's fucking the same thing.
jordan holmes
I know.
dan friesen
Anyway, back to the clip.
I'm going to start it from the top in honor of Alex Coast.
jordan holmes
God damn it, Dan!
unidentified
In honor of Alex starting this over and over again.
alex jones
It is the left at college campuses across this country that first started banning words like the N-word out of literature that was actually against racism.
jordan holmes
They did!
alex jones
And then moved on now to Martin Luther King because he said all God's children, black, white, yellow, red, and brown.
They said, well, where's the trans?
Where's the you've got to remove Martin Luther King's speech off the wall?
dan friesen
So I looked into this, and actually what it's about is a college.
I can't remember the name of the college now.
I don't have it in front of me.
jordan holmes
It's a college.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's a college, and there's a student group that got together, and there's a mural, a painted mural on the wall of one of the buildings that has a Martin Luther King speech on it.
And they were arguing that they should replace it with the new mural, not to say fuck you to Martin Luther King, but to reflect the fact that the civil rights movement has come a long way.
Race is still incredibly important and a big piece of it, but it's expanded from there into all sorts of maligned groups and disenfranchised populations.
And so it was more like an update more than anything else.
And if you look into it, this college has had this mural of Martin Luther King since like 1982 or something like that.
But before that, it had another mural that was.
unidentified
Of Woodrow Wilson saying the N-word.
jordan holmes
So it was a good change.
dan friesen
Well, liberals banned it.
jordan holmes
It was a smart change.
dan friesen
No, it was the guy who founded the university.
And it was something that at the time seemed good.
And then as time went on, they're like, ooh, we don't know if this is good anymore.
So they covered it up with this mural that had the Martin Luther King quote on it.
And then now they're like, well, maybe we should update that.
They're not even demanding that they do it.
They're just having a conversation about it.
It's not banning Martin Luther King.
jordan holmes
It is an essential part of conservatism.
And oftentimes, probably the least offensive, like maybe often, like maybe the most justifiable is fear of change.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Like, there's a lot of fear of it.
dan friesen
That's why all of Alex's narrative harken back to a bygone time of picket fences and two and a half kids.
jordan holmes
It's a good idea to have that voice because if you are just like innovation for innovation, let's change everything, then you may wind up throwing away what should be built upon instead of what should be tossed aside.
But Alex, the N-word should not be built upon.
It should be banned.
dan friesen
It's a tough place to start an argument.
jordan holmes
Which is where he started it.
dan friesen
Right.
I'm getting from the chat room that trans isn't a race.
And yes, of course not.
jordan holmes
No, we agree.
dan friesen
We're looking past that for now because it's going to get way worse.
But also, the reason that it sort of like slips through in terms of what Alex is saying is because the trans community is a part of the modern civil rights picture, as opposed to, I guess it still was in the 60s, but it wasn't nearly as big of a piece.
jordan holmes
It wasn't accepted.
Even at the time, most, you know, if you want to go anywhere, any black church, any white church, any church anywhere in the 60s, trans people, gay people, all of that shit.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
jordan holmes
Punishable by whatever it is you want to do.
There was no acceptance.
To me, the civil rights movement now should expand to everybody who's not straight and white.
Because that's everybody who's being oppressed and the poor.
Everybody who's not straight and white and rich.
And then we prioritize black women the most.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
You know what?
This is you.
I'm not going to litigate the civil rights movement.
I have nothing to do with it.
dan friesen
I was about to say, hey, guy.
jordan holmes
How about you shut up, Jordan?
And that's exactly what I'm saying to me as well.
dan friesen
Right, because we've got to deprioritize your voice.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Absolute white male.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
Well, but my only point about that is that it makes sense in the context of what Alex was saying.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Just he's stupid.
Right.
So anyway, in this next clip, Alex has stumbled onto something.
He's had a revelation.
Throughout the first 15 minutes or so of the show, he's rambling about the Tiananmen Square and talking because there's a military parade coming up.
jordan holmes
And now's the time.
dan friesen
And there's a liberal professor who went out and said that he's going to stand in front of the tanks.
jordan holmes
Don't do that.
dan friesen
A little grandstandy, maybe a little tacky.
But at the same time, Alex is super pissed off about this, and he has developed a theory wherein the left liberals, they're the Chinese in the tanks.
jordan holmes
That makes all the sense.
dan friesen
And the patriots are the guy standing there.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
It makes sense if you just let him explain.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Just let the man talk.
You're right.
alex jones
I was thinking about the hypocrisy of leftists in this country with antifa hitting people on the head with bike locks, stabbing people, bombing things, attacking their cars, spitting on my reporters, dumping coffee on my head, singing it, having them on, saying violence is good against the right wing.
dan friesen
That guy he's referencing was a troll who got on CNN.
alex jones
It just hit me that they are like the communist Chinese at Tiananmen Square in 1989 when they go out and engage in violence to stop our free speech.
Anytime libertarians, conservatives, Trump supporters, you name it.
dan friesen
So I want to say one thing really quick because this is part of the clips that couldn't quite make it in terms of timing.
He does this fucking rant like five times on the show.
And one of them he's listing off grievances that have happened.
And they yell at our reporters.
And one of them is like, it's totally fine to fart into a mic.
I'm like, that is fun.
jordan holmes
Wait, what?
dan friesen
There's a video of this guy.
It's like maybe a guy in his 50s, 60s.
It's him and his wife at a rally, and they're talking.
Millie, I think, is trying to interview them.
jordan holmes
Millie Weaver?
dan friesen
Yeah, he just grabs the microphone to do it.
And honestly, I think it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.
It's as funny.
It's as funny as that little girl flipping off Owen Schroyer.
unidentified
Yeah, so funny.
jordan holmes
All right.
it's an old man farting into their money.
That's where, look, that's something that you shouldn't even mention if you're Alex.
You should You should just let that one go because that's objectively hilarious.
dan friesen
It's adolescent as hell, but man, so funny.
jordan holmes
If Alex himself walked in here and farted into one of our mics, all would be forgotten for the 30 seconds that we would laugh.
And then we would hate on him again.
Or that would be fucking hilarious.
dan friesen
Or let's say that there's an Antifa version of InfoWars summary, right?
And they're out at some Republican rally, and Anthony Scaramucci farts into their mic.
Alex would love it.
jordan holmes
It would be hilarious.
dan friesen
He would call it a classic move.
jordan holmes
And if you're Antifa, chances are you'd be like, all right.
I would still think it's hilarious.
dan friesen
Anyway.
alex jones
Try to have an event.
Antifa even comes out with AK-47s in Austin and won't let my reporters on the Capitol grounds to be able to cover a woman who was killed on illegal alien and the illegal alien gets off.
We go to a vigil and they are attacking men, women, and children and pushing them and hitting them and not letting them get into the event.
And the police stand there and look on while the left intimidate and Antifa calls for killing cops and cops are getting shot in the back.
All this Weatherman style tactic.
And then they've got the nerve to have professors and leftist activists on CNN, MSNBC.
We played clips of some of them earlier saying, Trump's a fascist.
Lay in front of the tanks if he has a military parade.
dan friesen
So again, I think that liberal professor that he played, I have no idea who this guy is.
I've never heard of him before.
But at the same time, I don't really necessarily think that he might be a little trolly.
No, I think he's sincere.
But I think he's a little more dramatic than maybe is required.
jordan holmes
I just can't.
I mean, that is one of the most line-by-line examples of I know you are, but what am I?
I think we've heard in a long time.
dan friesen
To an extent.
jordan holmes
Like, think about, just go, just go fucking word for word what it is he is saying that the left has done, and then just go to Charlottesville.
dan friesen
Well, there's that.
jordan holmes
Line by line, that is exactly what the Nazis did.
dan friesen
Well, there's that.
jordan holmes
How many white supremacists have been interviewed on CNN?
dan friesen
Or New York Times.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
Or the fuck, how many times are we going to listen to what white supremacists have to say?
And then at the same, and then he's like, well, they let leftists on here saying that white supremacy is bad?
These radical leftists.
dan friesen
There's an even greater irony that you're not quite capturing, and that is that he's saying that anytime the Trump people and the Patriots want to get together, Antifa won't let them do it.
And the only example he comes up with is an explicitly white supremacist rally.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Like, I watched the video of Owen Schroer trying to get into that rally, and the rally is not like, it's not a vigil for Katie Steinley.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
The girl who was accidentally killed by a stray bullet that ricocheted off the ground that misfired from a, yes, undocumented immigrants' gun.
Yes, all those facts are exhaustively discussed.
Absolutely.
But the rally wasn't a vigil for her as much as it was a collection and sounding off gathering of people who were really mad about immigrants.
And it was an anti-immigration, anti-I mean, who knows?
Who knows the depths of what was really in the heart of it.
But that's what it was.
I watched the entire video.
They weren't threatening with an AK-40 any more than anybody is threatening everybody at open carry rallies.
It's the exact same thing.
You can't have it both ways.
But again, it's fucking stupid and pointless for us to bring up hypocrisy.
Exactly.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
Now, this is fun.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
This next clip.
Alex Jones gets into symbology a little bit.
jordan holmes
Oh, yes.
dan friesen
So enjoy this very weird, very pseudo-spiritual kind of wishy business.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
The pentagram is an upside-down pentacle.
A pentacle symbolizes humans.
A head, two arms, and two legs.
It's a powerful, powerful symbol.
Inverting it is about it upside down and them siphoning the energy off of the inversion.
Because it creates major dark energy, major destruction, major, the universe is not in order.
So these weak people go in and go, let me flip this upside down.
Because they're so weak, even though they only get a tiny bit of the evil power that's created by it, they still got to go, warming their hands to the fire of evil.
Now, briefly.
No, we have launched a new site, FortifiedSupply.com, and it's InfoWars site.
They censored us off Google ads and everything.
So I thought, you know, let's create a site we say as a sponsor, but it's really us.
And I thought, you know, I'm not going to do that.
Even though it's true that it'd be a sponsor if it's our subcompany that helps fund the operation.
It's InfoWars.
If they want to try to center that when I'm trying to run ads with it again, that's fine.
It's a super fancy, high-tech shopping cart.
dan friesen
So Alex made a very crucial error in that last bit there, and that's what launched my investigation in earnest today.
jordan holmes
I got into Fortified Supply.
dan friesen
Exactly.
This is the first time I've heard him plug it since he unveiled the Fortified Supply on December 5th of 2017.
And that's what got my brain thinking again.
And one of the things that he said in there is very damning, and that is he's giggling around about how, ah, it's us.
It's us.
And that's going to be a problem for him.
It should be.
jordan holmes
Whether or not it will be is to be determined.
dan friesen
To get into exactly why, I recommend all of you listening to go to knowledgefight.com.
I have an extensive write-up about this full of documentation, screenshots of Alex Jones' various contracts and legal documents.
He is operating what I believe, and I think it's pretty clear, although I don't want to say this as an accusation because if I'm wrong in some weird technicality, I don't want to be charged with libel or slander or something like that.
But it very much appears that he's operating Fortified Supply as an illegal alias for his company.
And that is a Class A misdemeanor in Texas.
And if he is doing this, as all evidence appears he is, he could face up to a year in prison.
jordan holmes
God, wouldn't that be great?
dan friesen
At least that threat would be a good thing.
jordan holmes
You know what?
dan friesen
You know, to me, it's like it comes down to things like that that he said on the show.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Like him admitting this is us.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
That is our website.
We could pretend it's someone else, but it's us.
jordan holmes
Well, it's getting Al Capone on tax evasion charges.
That's exactly what we, you know, for all the crimes that we have seen him commit.
dan friesen
Borderline crimes.
jordan holmes
This one's kind of a big deal.
dan friesen
Crimes of decency versus like literal crimes.
Right.
This, I mean, if I were just like talking about any other human, I'd be like, you know, who cares?
That's kind of a small thing.
And I kind of still think that about Alex, but I also hate him.
jordan holmes
So let's prosecute to the full extent of the law.
dan friesen
I guess that's kind of selective and philosophically problematic for us.
But at the same time, we don't run a business, really.
jordan holmes
Fuck Alex.
dan friesen
Yeah, and fuck Alex.
And by the end of this episode, you're going to be feeling that even more.
Great.
jordan holmes
Two things.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
One, exactly to the jewel, how much power does the left get from the pentagram?
dan friesen
Spelled jewel.
jordan holmes
J-O-U-L-E.
It's a measurement.
It's a measurement of force.
dan friesen
I was trying to think of what a reasonable number would be.
jordan holmes
What's an unreasonable number?
dan friesen
75,000.
It's a lot of jewels.
jordan holmes
That seems like too many jewels.
dan friesen
Do you think there are any scientists who tried to start a cover band called Run the Jewels, but J-O-U-L-E-S?
Probably they did.
jordan holmes
No.
I'm going to go with the big no on that one.
dan friesen
That's a hot Halloween costume.
jordan holmes
All right.
No.
I'm going to go with another big no on that one.
I'm going to go with two straight no's.
All right.
Second.
Clearly, what he just said was that the reason that he set up the fortified supply situation, and probably the reason that we're in the situation where we are with his lack of registration and the like, is to get around Google's block.
Google is not allowing his advertisements because, of course they're not.
dan friesen
Well, I don't know.
jordan holmes
But if you don't have it associated with the InfoWars brand, you can put it up through Google and it won't give them the alerts.
dan friesen
I don't know if the it's a little bit complicated in terms of how you file a doing business as alias and that sort of thing.
And us having this conversation right now would be a little bit difficult for me to explain all of that.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
Start from the beginning, and then six hours from now, we'll get into endgame.
dan friesen
If you have a business that is like a LLC or any other sort of business, a corporation or anything like that, you file your corporation and it has a certain name.
Like if I started a corporation, it would be Knowledge Fight LLC or whatever.
Now, if I wanted to start another show called Freezing Point Goods or something like that, I sell something at Freezing Point Goods or whatever.
What would you sell?
Probably, I don't know, art.
I'd sell drawings, draw rings.
I don't know.
I got nothing to sell.
So this is all very abstract and stupid.
But if I were to do that, I couldn't sell things as Friesen Point goods or whatever with the company that I've started without creating a doing business as name.
And to do that, you have to file with the Secretary of State and the county clerk of the counties that you're doing business in, wherever you have an office.
So I would need to do that, and then these businesses would be exactly the same.
Now, in doing that, in filing that paperwork, I don't know if it would trigger Google or anything like that.
I'm not certain that that is a way to get around the Google block.
So that part of it is not explained by the explanation he gives there.
jordan holmes
No, no, no, no.
I agree with you.
But I'm not saying concretely that that is the case.
I'm saying that that's what he's implying is the case.
dan friesen
Well, but at the last time he talked about it in December, he implied that the reason was to get around map agreements, minimum advertising prices.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Like agreements that he'd signed with his suppliers.
So his story is even changing in terms of what his motivation for doing this is.
So, I don't know.
It's one of the most suspicious things I think I've encountered in terms of...
And he's done a lot of suspicious stuff.
alex jones
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
But this one's really big.
And I really hope people will pay attention and get the word out about this.
jordan holmes
Did Daria set up Fortified Supply?
dan friesen
She may have.
jordan holmes
Is it a money laundering website?
dan friesen
Well, see, that's where it comes into, like, we're in the realm of rampant speculation at that point.
I know.
jordan holmes
That's what I'm here for.
dan friesen
It does have the potential to be that.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
That's one of the big reasons why it set off pretty serious red flags when I started looking into the nature of it.
And that is the potential for taking in dark money under the table, the money laundering capabilities, or just hiding assets, hiding money.
That sort of thing could be done very easily with a non-existent business that you're running that has no tax identification.
It has no attachment to your normal LLC.
And to me, that's either sloppiness or a really desperate move.
And I don't know which it is.
And it might be a third option.
I don't know.
unidentified
I mean, how much someone has to find out, though.
jordan holmes
How much dark money has been run through your boys like Manafort and those kinds of guys.
It's not necessarily a desperation move.
It could be just a massive revenue stream.
dan friesen
No, but see, the reason I label it as a desperation thing is because the history that Alex Jones has of being on the up and up with this sort of paperwork.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's true.
dan friesen
Because you do see over and over again the various business names that he uses, like Prison Planet, InfoWars, the Jones report he even filed one for.
That's not even really a thing anymore.
That was a while back.
So he has all that history of knowing what to do and doing the right thing.
And I think now it might just be, I don't know.
jordan holmes
So I would narrow it down to three things that we would be looking at.
Either laziness or just lack of oversight.
dan friesen
Sloppiness.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Could be desperation.
dan friesen
Could be.
jordan holmes
In that, you know, whatever it is he's trying to avoid.
Or it could be greed.
And he's got somebody who's going to really throw a lot of money towards the business.
dan friesen
Or even, let's add a fourth could be avarice.
I'm not entirely sure the capabilities of it, but it's possible that through this sort of thing, he could hide money from his ex-wife.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
He does owe a massive amount in spousal support.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's a good point.
dan friesen
It could be a sort of thing where he's trying to create a workaround.
I don't know.
jordan holmes
Oh, shit.
Maybe his wife has standing.
His ex-wife.
dan friesen
She actually does to some extent.
I don't think with this, but with some of her other businesses, I believe she is listed as a...
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
But she might have like she might have relinquished that in the divorce.
I'm not entirely sure.
I don't know.
jordan holmes
It's like the Midas Gold situation all over again where they're like, hey, fuck this guy.
He was trying to hide it from his wife.
You know, like that kind of situation.
dan friesen
You know, the other thing, too, that was weird that I came up with when I was looking over these records, like just searching for various Alex Jones-related records on the list.
jordan holmes
You found a lot of dead bees in your room?
dan friesen
Well, in the county clerk's office, there's tons of stuff that you can find.
Like, I found his marriage license from his first marriage to Kelly.
Like, I found that marriage license public from 2007.
And the weird thing is he's married again.
I couldn't find it.
No marriage.
I don't know if that means that they're not legally married or what.
Or maybe they got a license somewhere else that they don't live.
jordan holmes
They could have gone to Vegas or whatever.
dan friesen
But I think you'd still have to have the license in where you habitate.
jordan holmes
I don't think so.
dan friesen
I don't know how it works, but it's weird.
jordan holmes
I don't even believe in marriage, frankly.
dan friesen
And neither does he.
Common law.
jordan holmes
There you go.
dan friesen
Common law marriage.
Anyway, in this next clip.
jordan holmes
As long as the sheriff says that you're okay with marriage, you're fine.
dan friesen
We've rambled a little bit on this, but just because it's something that I've been really looking into for a bit and extensively.
jordan holmes
Oh, absolutely.
dan friesen
And I think it's important.
But the bottom line is something is up.
Something is up with Alex's businesses, and someone smarter with more access than us really needs to look at this.
jordan holmes
Not necessarily.
Not necessarily smarter, but more access.
unidentified
Exactly.
dan friesen
More reach.
Good call, only sponsored posts.
Chances are he was married in international waters.
That's probably what happened.
jordan holmes
Anyway, Admiralty.
dan friesen
We come back to Admiralty law.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
So in this next clip, Alex, you know, at the beginning of this show, he was pretty staunchly in favor of this military parade.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
At this point, he gets a little wishy-washy.
And you know why?
Because at this point in the day...
jordan holmes
Tiananmen Square?
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
Rand Paul had come out and said that, hey, this is a dumb idea.
Well, I will.
I think Rand Paul's statement was that he'll support the military parade if Trump brings everyone home from Afghanistan.
If he ends the war in Afghanistan, nice.
jordan holmes
So Alex now is like, that's a little bit like the liberal professor with, like, come on, you're a little grandstanding there.
dan friesen
A little bit, but at the same time, it's in line with Rand Paul's principles.
No, it's what he supposedly is for.
jordan holmes
And it's a good point.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And so Alex, I think, is real, it's much like the ghost of Christmas Past is reminded of the principles he once had before he became a bootlicker for aspiring authoritarian.
And he's like, ah, shit, I got to get wishy-washy about this parade now.
So you listen to this shit.
alex jones
I'm all for a military parade, but he really needs to bring a bunch of troops home from these useless bases around the world that are bankrupting our country and that have been serving the globalists.
We need to bring a lot of troops home and cut the military budget for stuff that is purely empire building.
And Rand Paul has come out and said that as well: bring U.S. troops home from Afghanistan, then throw the parade.
But I understand what Trump's doing, triggering the leftist and making them come out and say they're going to attack the parade to show people the internal enemy and who they really are.
dan friesen
Also, no one's going to attack the parade.
alex jones
No.
jordan holmes
Well, one, it's a military parade.
dan friesen
That's a dumb idea.
Anyway, hold on.
alex jones
So I'm just saying he should bring some troops home from Iraq.
They're coming over from Iraq now.
It's been announced almost all of them.
So I guess that's probably what Trump's got in mind.
You know, we always think, hey, Trump ought to do this.
He's five steps ahead.
That's already been planned.
In fact, I bet that's what happens.
But a great idea Matt Drudge had a year ago now manifesting.
Before I go any further, I want to introduce you to our newest product from Cold War Show.
It's Icarin, Liver and Kidney Cleanse.
It's got strongest.
dan friesen
Did you hear what the name of his new product is?
jordan holmes
Icarin clan?
dan friesen
Icarin.
jordan holmes
Icarin.
dan friesen
You know what that is evocative of?
jordan holmes
Iker?
dan friesen
Icarus.
jordan holmes
Oh.
dan friesen
Icarus, son of Didalus, creator of the labyrinth of where Theseus slayed the Minotaur.
jordan holmes
See, I was thinking more like Iker or Icar, which is like the blood of a goblin or that kind of thing in Dungeons and Dragons.
dan friesen
Boy, that is not appealing for a pill.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry.
Fantasy nerd, fine.
dan friesen
No, I think that extends past just Dungeons and Dragons stuff because I've heard that too.
jordan holmes
No, yeah.
It's a trope of fantasy literature.
dan friesen
It's still not appealing for a pill.
No.
It definitely gives the image in my mind of Icarus.
That's the thing that comes chiefly to mind.
And of course, Icarus, son of Didalus, Didalus created wax wings in order to fly.
And he told his son, Icarus.
jordan holmes
Which is Alex's next product?
Wax Wings.
dan friesen
Wax Wings.
Oh, what if he came out with Wax Lips?
jordan holmes
For Valentine's Day.
Your wife's lips are too small.
dan friesen
Got to be honest, only sponsored post is killing it tonight.
Also, Ipacac.
jordan holmes
Oh, there you go.
That's nice.
dan friesen
The point is, this is a terribly named product.
jordan holmes
Icarin.
Not good.
dan friesen
Very terrible.
Very terrible.
So, what I want to do now is I want to make a rundown of before we get into the rest of the episode of some of the narratives that we will be missing.
unidentified
Just because nice little what got cut segment?
dan friesen
Yeah, more or less.
I've already discussed the Victory Day celebration, that stuff.
Joseph McCarthy was right.
We learned that on this episode.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
And it's based on Russian files that have come out.
jordan holmes
Russian files.
dan friesen
Yeah, the Russians have loved it.
unidentified
I love that show.
dan friesen
Joseph McCarthy was right.
And Alex is like, yeah, that makes sense.
Alex gets really defensive because the Dow Jones went down another thousand points today.
Bad day.
And he's like, yeah, well, it's still got to go 7,000 more down to undo Trump.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure.
dan friesen
Great.
That's fun.
He gets really mad about Elon Musk shooting that car into space.
jordan holmes
I mean, that's a legitimate grievance.
dan friesen
Well, because it's a stunt and bullshit, what have you?
jordan holmes
I mean, I think of Gil Scott Heron, whenever Ellen Musk did that, I immediately went Whitey's on the moon.
Immediately.
A rat dun bit my sister Nell.
And Elon Musk sent a fucking car into space.
dan friesen
That's fair.
jordan holmes
That's not as good a poem, though.
dan friesen
not as good but alex uh his take on it is like all these This is a ritual.
This is evocative of that movie.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
This is evocative of that movie heavy metal.
And so they do like this.
He and Rob Dew created a little special report where they point out that there's references to heavy metal.
And as they're discussing that, the car turns and you see on the dashboard, don't panic, which is a reference to the money.
jordan holmes
You hit the car.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
And I'm like, Alex.
jordan holmes
You guys do not understand what you are doing.
dan friesen
Alex, come on, man.
That's a different reference.
And so it's really dumb.
That's pretty stupid.
jordan holmes
Just one thing to say on the parade, and I wrote about this today, but I am all for it.
I am so for this parade.
And I don't want anybody to say anything.
I just want everybody to watch this parade because in America, we will all be like, oh, this is sad.
dan friesen
Well, do you remember this?
jordan holmes
This is pathetic.
dan friesen
I mean, at the inauguration, the parade that they had with all the empty bleachers and shit.
Imagine having a military parade like that.
jordan holmes
Imagine pathetic.
dan friesen
Imagine the turnout being really terrible to a pomp and circumstances.
jordan holmes
Because of course it would be.
dan friesen
Well, you might get some jingoistic people.
You might get some of the people who are just like, I don't support him, but support the troops.
jordan holmes
You get those little girl singers and the American flag stuff.
dan friesen
No, I think they're out.
jordan holmes
I think they're out.
dan friesen
Yeah, they don't like it.
They got screwed.
And so lastly, surprise, somebody didn't get paid.
So this one guy, I can't remember his name, doesn't matter.
I looked into it.
It's nonsense.
This guy testified not under oath and without a transcript.
Great.
That Hillary and the Uranium One deal, real serious.
jordan holmes
Oh, I saw that on Fox News and the Daily Caller and all that shit.
And also, George Soros is doing shit all up in business again.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And so I looked into it.
I'm like, this is not great.
Adam Schiff and I can't remember who the other senator was, but they said that they talked to the Department of Justice and this guy is not credible.
He's lied to us in the past.
Right.
That sort of stuff.
So suffice it to say.
jordan holmes
Like Iceman from the Iraq war lead up.
dan friesen
Oh, I thought you were talking about Top Gun.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
dan friesen
Also not trustworthy.
jordan holmes
Nor was I talking about the X-Men.
dan friesen
Or the serial killer Kuklinski.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's a good one.
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
A lot of Icemen.
jordan holmes
A lot of Icemen.
dan friesen
What I'm saying.
jordan holmes
Now, there's your comic book right there.
dan friesen
What I'm saying is I'm reserving judgment on this guy who gave testimony because he did show up.
Now, granted, it's not under oath, so there's no penalty for lying.
It doesn't really matter.
jordan holmes
Hey, who said it?
But 90% of success is just showing up, man.
dan friesen
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
Oh, it looks like our bud, Best Oswald donkey, he's just put into the chat room.
I'm getting paid right now.
It looks like the furlough is happening.
Yay!
So let's check out the video.
jordan holmes
Is that a government shutdown?
What are we talking about here?
dan friesen
I don't know.
That's what I'm taking it to mean.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that sounds right.
dan friesen
Anyway, let's get to this next clip because this is fun.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Alex Jones does not know anything about Bitcoin.
unidentified
True.
dan friesen
And he has consistently been like, I don't want to fucking get into this.
Because he thinks that the secretive people behind Bitcoin are globalists or something like that.
He has a lot of weird ideas about what's going on with Bitcoin because he's never really looked into it or he doesn't understand the process of mining for Bitcoin or anything like that.
So he would say he should just leave it alone.
jordan holmes
That would be a smart idea.
dan friesen
I think he shouldn't touch it.
Because the last time he talked about Bitcoin on the show, he had a Bitcoin expert on the show.
jordan holmes
Who was expert.
dan friesen
A Pizzagate weirdo named Dave Seaman.
Expert.
Rebranded himself and is now a Bitcoin expert.
So on today's show, on February 8th?
No, he has had Max Coin on before.
Okay.
unidentified
A lot.
dan friesen
And Max Kaiser is also really into Bitcoin.
But be that as it may, he has this guy named Roger Verr on.
jordan holmes
Where do these people come from?
dan friesen
Now, I want to tell you something about Roger Verr.
jordan holmes
His name is dumb.
dan friesen
It's very dumb.
V-E-R.
He comes on to talk about Bitcoin and his own thing that's called Bitcoin Cash.
jordan holmes
God damn it.
Why do they always have their own version of this dumb shit?
dan friesen
Because you've got to make your own thing, man.
I don't know.
jordan holmes
I respect that.
Entrepreneurs.
dan friesen
One thing that you should know about this dude is that he renounced his citizenship a while back and now lives in Japan.
jordan holmes
Well, good for him.
dan friesen
Yeah, good on him.
jordan holmes
It's a great place to live.
dan friesen
That's one thing you need to know.
And that's why the Skype doesn't work.
And so I can't play almost any of this interviews.
jordan holmes
Right, right.
dan friesen
It's terrible.
It's glitching out all over the place.
But they get him back after they go to break, fix up some Skype issues, and they come back with some calls.
And these calls are not good.
And Alex, because he knows nothing about Bitcoin, can't handle any of it.
And it delights me to no end.
Okay.
alex jones
Again, this is very complex.
I understand the basic generalities and how these systems work, but I can't vouch for you or the other groups.
I want to be clear about that because I'm not usually flying somewhat blind.
dan friesen
Stay safe.
alex jones
In California, you're on the air worldwide with Roger Verr.
unidentified
Hey, Alex, big fan.
Love your supplement.
Just want to say that Bcash is just a fork of the original Bitcoin.
And it's a scam.
It's a Chinese scam coin that this guy, Roger, who's been arrested for selling explosives and all this other crap, is trying to push his own agenda and actually take down Bitcoin.
alex jones
Okay, I said arrested for what?
unidentified
He was arrested.
alex jones
I'd love to reply to that.
Hold on.
Arrested for what?
unidentified
He was arrested for selling explosives.
Bcash is basically just a fork of the original Bitcoin.
alex jones
Yeah, I heard that part.
Okay, okay.
We'll come back to you in a minute, Garrett.
Go ahead, Roger.
unidentified
So this guy very well could be a paid operative trying to disrupt Bitcoin Cash.
dan friesen
It's very simple.
unidentified
The name is Bitcoin Cash, not Bcash.
BCash is a completely separate project, not related at all to BCH, which is in reference to Bitcoin Cash.
In reference to me selling explosives on the internet, that's absolutely true.
jordan holmes
That is a sentence I hope to say one day.
unidentified
In reference to me selling explosives on the internet, that is absolutely true.
dan friesen
Now, this guy's probably a paid operative trying to spread trouble, but I did fucking do it.
jordan holmes
He did fucking sell explosives on the internet.
Where else are you going to sell them?
dan friesen
He did 11 months in prison for selling explosives on the internet.
jordan holmes
He did 11 months in prison.
dan friesen
No, it turns out it turns out that they were like illegal fireworks.
And so I have a little bit of an idea about it.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's a little disappointing.
It's a little bit of like.
I immediately saw like cartoon bombs with the circle and the like giant fuse sticking out of it.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And the big skull on the front.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So, this, I mean, I cut off this clip, but it goes on so much longer of him just being like, Look, this is back when eBay used to sell guns, and everybody, you know, like, look, I ran for office as a libertarian, and I was against the gun lobby, blah, blah, blah.
And they just, of course, they decided, oh, I'm against the police, you know, and they decided to come against me and railroad me.
I'm the only person who got convicted.
It's all victim shit.
It's all like, it's all in that victim narrative.
But, Alex.
jordan holmes
I just love that it's, I love, I love that this Bitcoin expert is like, yes, I did sell explosives on the internet, but you can trust me with this fake currency that I've invented.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And the other part that I love is Alex is, I did not know that he did time.
I didn't Google my guest.
unidentified
I didn't do any research into this guy.
jordan holmes
So, how does it go from there?
dan friesen
Does that even on his Wikipedia page?
jordan holmes
It should be.
It should be basic knowledge of this guy.
If you do any vetting of your guests, any of it.
Any.
What is it?
The third sentence on his Wikipedia page?
dan friesen
Did 11 months in the pokey for selling bombs.
So Alex doesn't know what to do at this point because he doesn't know anything about Bitcoin.
This caller has made a point that Roger isn't really disputing.
jordan holmes
That no one is prepared to deal with.
dan friesen
And so here's Alex's take on it.
alex jones
It gives me a headache, Roger, because you seem like a nice guy.
He seems like a nice guy.
I don't know what to believe.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
No, he just said it.
What do you mean you don't know what to believe?
Both of them agreed that he did time.
dan friesen
No, I think that's more in reference to the like you being a scammer thing.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
Your Bitcoin operation being a scam.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
I don't know what to believe.
Look, you seem nice.
He seems nice.
alex jones
You both sound white.
I don't know what to do.
dan friesen
That sort of thing.
Like, oh, Jesus.
jordan holmes
You both sound white.
dan friesen
So Alex fucks up and takes a second call.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
alex jones
Drew in Indiana.
You're on the air.
Go ahead.
unidentified
Hey, thanks, Alex.
First, I want to say it's well known in the Bitcoin community that Roger Ver is a scammer, and this is his latest scam.
Just hours before this interview, he manipulated the price of Bitcoin Cash up 25% just to push his narrative.
And I do have a question for him.
He's been telling everyone that Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin.
But this can be easily proven through cryptography by signing the Genesis block.
dan friesen
So, real quick, I've cut out Roger Ver's response to this because it's pointless.
Because why?
He just says, I've never said that in public.
jordan holmes
He's got nothing to say.
dan friesen
Which is a weird defense.
I've never said that in public.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Very weird.
jordan holmes
Say it in private all the time.
dan friesen
It's more interesting what Alex Jones does because he's out of his depth.
He has no idea what the Genesis block means.
He has no idea what a Bitcoin even is.
He has no idea why it was up at 17 grand and now it's down at eight.
jordan holmes
He doesn't even know that Roger Ver did time.
dan friesen
He doesn't know who Roger Ver is.
He doesn't know any of this shit.
This response is really funny.
unidentified
Which means proving that he mined the first Bitcoin.
He cannot do that, but Roger continues telling people that this guy is Satoshi Nakamoto, which is a lie.
alex jones
He must release the core.
Cybertron, the heart of our world.
Will you release the core?
unidentified
Well, I haven't traded a single.
alex jones
Will you release the cube?
Trust the cube.
Are you Megatron?
Roger Ver.
Are you Megatron?
If so, prepare for battle.
jordan holmes
That's the radio version of saying, I'm out.
Yeah.
dan friesen
Checked out.
jordan holmes
Nah.
Nah, dude.
You said words.
You said words.
alex jones
I'm out.
dan friesen
Yeah, you guys both seem to understand what you're talking about.
And I'm the host of the show.
I'm not in for it.
unidentified
Guess what?
jordan holmes
Fuck you guys, Megatron.
dan friesen
I don't give a shit.
Are you Megatron?
Yeah.
Spoiler alert, Roger Vera's answer to that is, I am not Megatron.
That's beautiful.
jordan holmes
That's just joy.
That's just joy coming from my heart.
dan friesen
Right.
And that's great that we could have this time.
jordan holmes
God damn you, Dan.
Are you about to take it away from me?
dan friesen
I'm not.
It's just that what we're about to get into is like a very weird last hour and a half of his program.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
It's very weird.
He's in a very strange place, and it's not entirely clear what's going on in his head, but it's something that's unhealthy.
I'm not entirely sure what it is.
We'll discuss it.
But one more thing that I want to bring up is that Alex Jones is very dismissive of the charges that the ex-wives of this Porter guy are bringing.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
I didn't want to hear him talk about this at all.
I don't want to hear it.
alex jones
No, no, no.
dan friesen
You're not listening to it.
I just wanted it to be on the record.
I just wanted everyone to know that on the show, Alex is saying, hey, it's just minor stuff.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but that could be assumed.
dan friesen
Oh, well, yeah.
jordan holmes
No, that Alex.
No, no, no.
unidentified
Oh, no, Do you not know?
dan friesen
I get you.
No.
jordan holmes
Do not take that out of context.
dan friesen
I get what you're saying.
jordan holmes
I mean, that Alex would say that can be assumed.
dan friesen
I get what you're saying.
I just misunderstood you for a second.
jordan holmes
Yeah, please don't.
Please don't.
dan friesen
This next clip, Jordan, is incredibly bizarre.
Totally bizarre.
But still not terrible.
The last like 16 minutes of this episode are going to be terrible.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
So just know that right now, enjoy this while you go.
jordan holmes
16 minutes of our episode?
God damn it.
dan friesen
16 minutes of Alex's audio.
jordan holmes
So 48 minutes of our episode.
dan friesen
It's entirely possible.
This is going to be a seven and a half hours longer.
Maybe two hours.
We probably get an hour left, probably halfway through this, maybe.
So this clip, first of all, the beginning of it makes me laugh a lot.
And then the second part.
jordan holmes
And then we get sad.
dan friesen
No, the second part just makes me understand how Alex Jones interfaces with the world.
And it's super fascinating.
And it's just, I mean, it just reinforces stuff that, I mean, we've been saying for a fucking year.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
But Alex lays it out in ways that he thinks he's bragging, but he's actually revealing that he's dumb.
Anyway, I'm going to split this in half.
Let's enjoy the beginning.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
You know, there's some subjects that are so big that I have a tendency to say I'm going to cover them, and then I just don't cover it because so much breaks.
So much breaks during the show that by the time I'm three hours in, I'm not really tired.
I'm more relaxed.
And then I remember the topic I was going to cover and don't feel the same outrage.
And then I feel like it's not a proper time to cover it.
dan friesen
So real quick, that's the first part of this.
Alex is straight up admitting that by the middle of the show, I'm just kind of lazy.
I'm in a groove.
I was feeling relaxed.
And I just can't fake the anger that I can at the beginning of the show.
So I want to scream about these topics, but by the time it gets to this point in the show, I kind of want a nap.
I did an interview with this Bitcoin guy.
I was eating a sandwich while he was talking.
And I'm sleepy.
I had this shit I wanted to talk about.
And look, I'm mad about it.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm fucking mad about it, but I just can't get it up.
I just can't fake it.
That's what he's saying.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
That's 100% what he's saying.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's saying his anger is performative.
He's saying that all of this is like, shit.
It's tough late in the show.
Which actually, I strongly disagree with.
I find that most of the time when he's faking it the hardest, it's in the third hour.
jordan holmes
Right.
He has to fake it the hardest because he doesn't feel it.
dan friesen
That's when he's like crying.
That's when the spirit gets good to him.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So, anyway, the rest of this clip.
Nelly.
Oh, Nelly.
alex jones
Down.
dan friesen
So much fun.
Don't.
alex jones
This is really fun.
I'm trying to explain why I do some of these things that I can't stand.
And also, I know what the media's response is going to be.
And it's not that the media attacks me and lies about me when I cover these topics.
It's that it's not that I'm being attacked that gets to me.
It's that I know this is the key.
Some of these certain areas.
dan friesen
None of this is going to make sense, and that's fine.
It'll all he's speaking.
jordan holmes
That's the only time you could.
This show is the only time you can say that, and I'm like, cool.
dan friesen
He's speaking in tremendous vagaries, and it's not really going to come together for a while, but you'll get it.
You'll get it eventually.
unidentified
All right.
alex jones
There's a lot of keys, but there's compared to all the rest of the information in the world.
It's very rare.
And we have the keys.
We have the absolute keys.
We know the enemy program.
We understand it.
We're not that smart.
unidentified
I read the books written by them.
I read the books.
dan friesen
Spoiler alert here.
jordan holmes
No, you haven't.
dan friesen
I have.
alex jones
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them.
And I would have been a totally different person if I hadn't stopped reading children's books when I was about seven years old and started reading adult books.
dan friesen
That's not good.
jordan holmes
Not the way to go about it.
dan friesen
So seven years old is probably first grade, maybe?
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
After second grade.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
There's no way that I mean, 95% of humans have the, I would say, even higher than that.
unidentified
98% of humans have at that age.
jordan holmes
Genetic learning.
dan friesen
Race memory.
jordan holmes
Race memory.
No, I don't think four ways to learn.
dan friesen
The ability, like the cognitive development that's required to even really understand full sentences and complex dialogue, complex narratives are it's almost impossible at age seven.
jordan holmes
I was just about to start reading Brian Jackson's Red Wall series.
dan friesen
Right.
He was reading the lesser works of Joyce.
jordan holmes
Now, you shouldn't do that.
No.
dan friesen
You know why?
jordan holmes
I'm not saying that Dubliners is a huge, hugely difficult thing to read.
But yes, it is, and he will never understand Dubliners.
dan friesen
Dubliners is a hit with the elementary set.
The problem is you can't.
jordan holmes
Although, actually, elementary kids might understand Finnegan's Wake a lot better than some of the English majors I knew in college.
dan friesen
But that's more about them.
The problem is that you can physically read anything at any age.
You just can't understand it.
You can't understand the textural deepnesses of things.
You can't understand subtext.
You can't understand rhetoric.
Those sorts of things.
And you really can't until, you know, I would say for a lot of this complicated stuff, probably into your teens.
jordan holmes
Oh, I mean, well, a lot of people still don't understand the first sentence of pride and prejudice.
dan friesen
I don't know if I do.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Anyway, let's keep this going.
alex jones
And it was all because my dad loved encyclopedias, and they would not buy me very few toys.
I'd have to go your bow lawns to get a new bike.
It was good.
Taught me how to work.
But my dad would buy me any books I wanted.
And so I'd say, I'd get home from school or after practice or whatever, they'd have Timelife Books, The Wild Wall West, or Time Life Books, The Occult, or Time Life Books, World War II, Timelife Books, Vietnam, Time Life.
dan friesen
Those are largely just like magazines.
jordan holmes
Time-Life books?
dan friesen
Yeah, I mean, they're like magazine books.
You know what I'm saying?
jordan holmes
Are they, like...
dan friesen
They're, like, serialized books.
They're like serialized books.
I remember my dad had some of those in my house when I...
jordan holmes
I think I saw like an infomercial for those one time.
Or like a commercial, but I don't know.
I don't know what they are.
dan friesen
Yeah, but you kind of do, even though you don't.
jordan holmes
Yeah, gotcha.
alex jones
Time Life Books, you know, the Manhattan Project and other super science projects or whatever.
And I would, those things would come so many that there was just, because my dad's a big book guy, the whole house was just bookshelves then.
Funny, kind of the age of TV.
It's not with computers.
His house now has got a lot of bookshelves, but nothing like the old house in Dallas.
And it was just walls of them.
And it was like, I mean, I read 20-volume set World War II by the time I was eight years old.
jordan holmes
That's not a bad idea.
alex jones
And that was just an encyclopedia on World War II.
Well, how many World War II historians actually read that?
You see, and that's kind of entry-level.
By 11, I was reading Order of the Death set.
dan friesen
Fifth grade.
alex jones
1,100 pages or whatever, 900 pages.
And Shearer's Rise and Fall the Third Reich.
Then why would you vocabulary studying World War II?
I've probably read 200 books on World War II.
And I'm not bragging about it.
I just get around historians and people.
They don't know half of what I know.
And it's all embedded in there.
And then I studied everything else.
And then my dad said, you want to read this?
Zebedee Bozinski.
Technotronic era.
dan friesen
So this gets to the heart of the matter.
And that is that Alex Jones read all these things that he cites before he had cognition to understand them.
And that created a framework in his brain when he was seven, eight, ten years old.
jordan holmes
If he did.
dan friesen
He isn't mature.
jordan holmes
If he is telling the truth.
dan friesen
No, I believe that he skimmed through those books or the process of reading them.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
But to be honest, like the technotronic era is a difficult book to read.
It's engageable as a 30-year-old or if you're in college or something like that.
It's about right.
If you're a 10-year-old even reading that, it's going to take you a couple months, probably, because every sentence, you're going to have to be like, what does this mean?
jordan holmes
Or you won't.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
I mean, if you like, and I mean, if you are reading World War II books at eight years old, if you're reading books about World War II at eight years old, I think it's entirely reasonable for an eight-year-old to be like, Hitler was a strong dude.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah.
jordan holmes
You know?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Like in that case, in that case, at that time period, it's not real.
In that time period, you're reading comic books.
dan friesen
Because you lack context.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
You lack any framework of the world, anything like that.
Yeah, totally.
jordan holmes
So I get that.
It's like somebody saying that the Joker is a great character, you know, like that kind of thing.
He's a great character.
He's the monster, though.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
You know, like when you go back and read that shit, in reality, you go, oh, look at all of this other stuff.
That's what a fucking monster is.
And if you are from that very young age inclined to believe that the strongest or the most ruthless is admirable, then you get your Alex Jones.
dan friesen
And if you're reading like all of these World War II, if he's read 200 books, I mean, he's, you know, presenting that as being over the course of his life.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
But if you.
jordan holmes
If he's read hundreds of books.
dan friesen
I don't think he's read hundreds of books.
jordan holmes
I don't think he's ever read hundreds of books.
dan friesen
If you're reading a lion's share of that, a bulk of it, when you're younger than 11.
Right.
I just don't think that you're going to be able to critically analyze the viewpoint of the writer.
I think that there's a decent chance that he might have read some even possibly pro-Nazi books.
jordan holmes
If his dad's a CIA dentist.
dan friesen
Or at least dubiously authored books.
jordan holmes
I mean, the best evidence for his inability to, if, again, if this is true, which I have a healthy suspicion about.
Right.
You can see from his vocabulary that he is unable to comprehend that.
Like, if he had read Calvin and Hobbes when he was a child, he would have a better vocabulary than if he had read World War II books that he doesn't understand.
dan friesen
I'm not certain.
I understand all of Calvin and Hobbes.
jordan holmes
There's very complicated issues that are built into it.
It's a great, great comic.
I recommend it for children.
But I think that this and Zbignu Brzezinski books.
dan friesen
I also do.
But I think that this issue has plagued him throughout his life and that he functions in the world with that childhood cognition in an adult angry body.
He exists as this really furious, I've read all these books.
And it's like, you don't understand the books.
Because I can go to all of them, and I have.
I mean, I haven't read everything that he claims to have read, but I've read so many of the things that he's cited specifically, and they don't say what he's saying.
A lot of times he pretends that they're prescriptive.
Like they're saying this should happen or something like that when they're just descriptive.
They're just explaining the situation or they're explaining the world as it is and not offering a solution.
And because he's a child in his brain, he's like, oh, what they're secretly saying is that this is the hellscape we should live in.
jordan holmes
And this is a reasonable thing if you aren't capable of growing out of it.
Like a separate piece, like that shitty book.
When I was like 13, I read that and I thought it was a shitty book.
And then I reread it later on in life and I understood the depth and the point of views that are built into it.
It's a shitty book, but it's still, it's much more meaningful now that I'm capable of understanding what that guy was fucking talking about.
dan friesen
Totally.
jordan holmes
Because I don't, at 13, I didn't really understand the mindset of children going to war.
unidentified
I loved housing before I could drink.
dan friesen
There's a lot of stuff that you should age through.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Or you should.
That's one of the interesting things about the book.
jordan holmes
Or you should absolutely revisit as your perception changes.
Right.
You'll find that the book itself changes.
dan friesen
Absolute loot.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
The only thing that doesn't is Steppenwolf, the best book of all time.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
All right.
But it actually has changed even in my life.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But I still love it each time.
Oof.
jordan holmes
Are you okay?
dan friesen
No, I was just thinking about the other book I was going to do an audiobook on.
jordan holmes
No, no, no, no.
dan friesen
Journey to the End of the Night is more deeply problematic.
LF Saline is.
jordan holmes
I wouldn't.
unidentified
I wouldn't.
dan friesen
So anyway, in this next clip.
jordan holmes
For any listener who wants to look into it.
dan friesen
That book is so good, but the man is so terrible.
But in this next clip, Alex makes a weird claim about Hollywood.
jordan holmes
Sounds right.
dan friesen
That's good enough of an intro.
alex jones
I've gotten to know people at the highest levels of Hollywood.
And since the whole Quasi-collapse of it, I've gotten to know people that are in this conservative secret society, big producers, some of the biggest, and none of them live in Hollywood, none of them want to be anywhere near it, and they try to just do decent stuff.
And strangely enough, everything they do is a hit.
Isn't that crazy?
The most successful people long range in Hollywood are the libertarian Christian conservative patriots.
Because you know what?
That's what America wants anyway.
See, that's the crazy thing about this.
dan friesen
That's very convenient.
That's super convenient.
jordan holmes
You know, for somebody who loves to give examples, he does not give any examples.
dan friesen
No, of course not, because it's a vague nonsense thing.
jordan holmes
Like, give an example.
Like, what are we talking about?
dan friesen
I don't know.
I mean, when I think of like secret Hollywood patriots that he talks about, there's always Jay Leno, Tim Allen, Tim Allen.
He's not so secret.
He's a fucking lunatic.
Clint Eastwood, he brings up, but he's not secret either.
Nope.
jordan holmes
He's crazy.
dan friesen
I don't know.
There's all this talk of like there's a large group of secret conservatives in Hollywood, and I don't really fucking care about that because I don't necessarily think it's real and I don't care.
Because there's a lot of very powerful conservatives who are out, and it doesn't really seem to be that much of a stigma.
jordan holmes
We've talked about the rock already, which is such a disappointing revelation.
But like, you have revelation, not realization.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
But even just on a very specific level, it doesn't change how I think about the rock.
No, I don't think anyone cares.
Unless you are, let's say, a white supremacist.
jordan holmes
Well, hey, Schwarzenegger was a shitty governor, but Terminator 2 is still great.
dan friesen
Right, right.
But I don't believe that this mythic secret society of conservatives in Hollywood exists.
I don't believe that Alex has talked to them, but it's so fun.
It's this game he gets to play where he's like, I have this secret knowledge of these secret conservatives, and guess what?
They're the most successful.
jordan holmes
Who would have guessed?
dan friesen
Ha ha, I don't have to prove anything.
jordan holmes
That's why the Left Behind series is bigger than Harry Potter.
Everybody knows this.
dan friesen
Totally.
That's what Americans want.
jordan holmes
It's what they want.
They don't want this fucking wizard bullshit.
You know that the Lord has said that you should burn witches.
dan friesen
Totally.
So, I mean, he does actually have one pivot point or like hinge to his Hollywood ramblings in this episode that I agree with him on, and I'm not going to dispute.
And that is that one guy is a piece of shit.
I'm not going to reveal who that person is.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
Because it's more fun.
jordan holmes
Because it's not going to be who it should be.
dan friesen
No, this clip is going to lay out who it is, but it's going to take Alex forever to get to it.
And it's one of the creepier things I've ever heard.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
I don't know what Alex is talking about in this clip, and we're going to have to analyze this a bit.
But the conclusion is.
jordan holmes
I will be taking extensive notes.
dan friesen
The conclusion of who he doesn't like, I agree.
alex jones
They don't just want to abuse women or men or anybody.
They want power.
They want to mess with people.
They want to kick your pregnant wife down the stairs and have her have a miscarriage and have it done in your place with your people so that everybody can say that Alex Jobs did it.
But I made a decision that even though that was 16 years ago, I'm not normally a vengeful person.
I'll move forward, but I decided just right in my heart now to come after you.
dan friesen
So hold on.
Hold on.
jordan holmes
What was 16 years ago?
Did he kick his wife downstairs?
dan friesen
I think he's accusing someone of kicking his wife down the stairs.
jordan holmes
I think he's revealing that he kicked his wife downstairs.
dan friesen
Don't know what's going on.
That's one of the most terrifying things.
jordan holmes
Wait, wait, that, why did he say 16 years ago?
dan friesen
That'd be 2000.
I don't like that at all.
Well, when I first heard this, I was like.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, it was right after 9-11.
dan friesen
Right.
It was a tough time for everybody.
jordan holmes
It was a tough time for everyone.
God damn it.
dan friesen
I thought, because he ends up getting threatening towards somebody at the end of this clip.
And I thought, like, 2002 is probably right around when he might have still been working with Link Later.
He's like, Link later, a fucking asshole?
jordan holmes
That's possible.
Did Link Later kick his wife downstairs?
dan friesen
Spoiler alert, it's not Link Later.
But that's the fucking thing.
Is he literally talking about someone kicking his wife down the stairs and causing a miscarriage to try and frame him?
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
What the fuck is he talking about?
unidentified
Because he did say because Burroughs was dead by then.
jordan holmes
So we know it wasn't him.
dan friesen
I want you to scroll back.
I want to scroll back a tiny bit so you can hear that again because that's so weird.
alex jones
Alice Jones did it.
But I made a decision that even though that was 16 years ago, I'm not normally a vengeful person.
I'll move forward.
But I decided just right in my heart now to come after you.
And so I am starting next week.
Oh, yeah.
People like me tell you we're coming.
And we walk into traps.
So that's what this is all about.
You operate in the dark, I operate in the light.
And we'll see how you do when I drag your ass out in the light.
Because you're never going to get away with what you've done, all the things you've engaged in.
And I think the fall of that piece of crap he is worshipped in Hollywood.
Not because his film's the very worst produced ever.
They're just sophisticated.
But because he's a degenerate, filthy scumbag.
And I think it's time we have people on to talk about Quentin Tarantino.
Oh, yeah.
jordan holmes
Actually, I guessed that one.
dan friesen
You did?
Did you have the notes?
jordan holmes
Yeah, No, no, no, because Quentin Tarantino was just came out, or the audio was revealed of him being like, eh, that girl that Roman Polanski raped, she wanted it.
Like that kind of thing.
dan friesen
And among other things, he's a fucking pile of shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he's a pile of shit.
The Umatherma shit, the Umatherman shit, like that whole thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I know that.
dan friesen
Monster.
unidentified
I don't think anybody is surprised by that either, right?
No.
jordan holmes
Like, we're all like, oh, we didn't know, but yeah, that sounds right.
dan friesen
There's a difference for us and people who work in the business.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
You know what I mean?
Like, for us, we'll never do that.
Well, no, not that.
It's that, like, we didn't know, but you hear and you're like, yep.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
I smelled that.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But, like, we have no idea what people's personal lives are.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Because there are people who are monstrous people in character, you know, but who are actually awesome.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
You could take a long list of like professional wrestlers who were the classic heels, who behind the scenes were the sweetest people in the world.
You know, their whole public persona is like, I cheat and brutalize people and beat them to shit.
I beat them down.
Yeah.
And they're super nice.
jordan holmes
And the opposite is true.
Like, traveling around doing enough shows with clean comics who do all Christian shows.
Totally.
And you're like, ooh, you're a fucking monster.
All of the time.
dan friesen
And so there is that like that sense of like you don't really know from the outside.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
But when you hear, you're like, yep, makes sense.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Cool.
That's how I felt about Quentin Tarantino for a long time.
And I'd heard some things.
Never really been thrilled with him.
Like, yeah, fuck it.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I like some of his movies.
I think some of them are sophisticated garbage.
I think Alex is like film criticism is even not too far off there.
It's within the realm of okay.
jordan holmes
We agree with Alex.
Bring back the troops.
And some of Quentin Tarantino's films are sophisticated garbage.
dan friesen
I'm more concerned about the idea that Quentin Tarantino kicked his wife down a flight of stairs.
jordan holmes
I thought, wait, Quentin Tarantino kicked Alex's wife down the flight of stairs?
dan friesen
That's what that fucking clip says.
jordan holmes
It kind of sounds like it says that.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And if that's the case, Alex.
jordan holmes
I want to know way more about that.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
But we know nothing about it.
jordan holmes
Why would you say 16 years ago if you weren't referencing a specific time your wife was kicked down the stairs?
dan friesen
You know, I think most likely, I mean, if it's the case that Quentin Tarantino kicked Alex Jones' wife down a flight of stairs.
jordan holmes
Which, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it here first.
dan friesen
By the way, I told you earlier in the show I found their marriage license.
They were married in 2007, which is five years after 16 years ago.
But be that as it may.
Was he married?
jordan holmes
Was he married?
dan friesen
Admiralty law.
No, that was his first wife.
Okay.
jordan holmes
Was it, though?
dan friesen
If that's the case, then I feel very sad for Alex and his ex-wife.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's awful.
dan friesen
I need to know more about it.
But realistically, realistically, let's look Occam's razor.
He was riffing on globalists and what they want to do to you.
And then he was like, oh, wait, I was wronged by somebody.
And he's probably referencing 16 years ago, him and Quentin Tarantino got into a fight.
They got into an argument.
Because Quentin Tarantino has roots in Austin and Texas.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
And so I. Or Alex was with Clink Later at the time.
He got invited to a party.
Quentin Tarantino.
dan friesen
Or Mike Judge, even.
jordan holmes
Or Mike Judge.
Yeah.
dan friesen
There's no doubt that Alex is an asshole and another asshole mixes in with an asshole because Quentin Tarantino is an asshole.
The two of them just become assholes together and then they have a fight and no one wins.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
That's probably the same thing.
jordan holmes
And there's no collateral damage of an innocent person getting over.
dan friesen
Well, not the kick down the stairs.
That's probably just riffing.
Again, probably.
jordan holmes
But why did it say 16 years?
dan friesen
Look, I don't know.
jordan holmes
I'm so got to know why he said 16 years.
dan friesen
This begs so many questions.
And this is why I want to be friends with Alex, even though I want to destroy him.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
So I can call him and be like, what were you talking about?
I want us to be like jocular enemies to an extent.
jordan holmes
Nemeses.
dan friesen
Right.
So I can hit him up on Twitter and be like, Alex, you were getting weird.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
What the fuck were you talking about?
And be like, oh, no, that was just riffing, man.
Look, me and Mike Judge were pretty liquored up.
jordan holmes
You want to know the Alex without the trappings.
dan friesen
Or we can wait till next week and see what comes out because he said next week he's going to start taking that's a good point.
And you know what?
Quite frankly, if he just takes Quentin Tarantino down on the merits, I'm all for it.
I'm not really going to fight that.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
dan friesen
Do what you do, baby.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
As long as you're not lying and exaggerating for no reason, I'm cool.
jordan holmes
It's so strange that Alex assumes that many of his critics have a dog in the fight.
You know what I'm saying?
dan friesen
Right, right, right.
jordan holmes
Like, he's like, oh, you guys are going to defend Quentin Tarantino.
And we're like, we're like, yeah, no, no, no.
Fuck him too.
I don't know.
I don't give a shit.
Watch you both light each other on fire.
It's hilarious.
dan friesen
Like, he loves the idea of uniformity of what he's opposed to.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Without realizing there's gradients within it because he's super mad about feminism, but there's a large portion of feminism that's trans-exclusionary.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
You know, like, so there's that.
Like, he would kind of be into that to some extent.
unidentified
Or whatever.
dan friesen
You know, like, there are different segments of the groups that he's against.
It's not unipolar.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Like, let's even look at our podcast.
We're not unipolar.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
You and I have different philosophical or principled beliefs.
Like, if Alex was just like, knowledge fight is one thing that's against me.
Like, realistically, me and Jordan both hate you.
But there's nuance to it.
There's differences.
jordan holmes
See, that's the thing about people with black and white worldviews is that they will always project that onto everybody else.
dan friesen
Definitely.
jordan holmes
So if you have a dichotomy, you will always project that everyone else has a dichotomy as well.
dan friesen
Right, right.
jordan holmes
You will never be capable of understanding that fuck that guy, fuck you, for whatever reason.
It has nothing to do with whatever it is I'm criticizing certain things about.
dan friesen
Fuck you on the merits.
And unfortunately, that works both ways.
It's a two-edged sword.
jordan holmes
Right.
Who gives a shit?
Like, I love Kill Bill, but I'm not going to defend Quentin Tarantino.
dan friesen
I like Inglorious Bastards.
jordan holmes
Right.
I mean, like, Jordan.
Now is not the time to get into divorcing the art from the artist.
I feel like that's a long conversation.
dan friesen
No.
And there's people who are way worse than him and people who are worse artists also.
Who cares?
jordan holmes
Who cares?
dan friesen
It's not important.
jordan holmes
Not our litigation.
dan friesen
What we must do now.
We have one segment left to do.
jordan holmes
Of the good.
dan friesen
One.
Nope.
We're done with the good.
jordan holmes
Oh, now we're going to get into the trouble.
We're going to get into 16 minutes of the blitz.
dan friesen
But before we do, I must take a quick intermission.
I apologize because this is a late night show.
But Jaboy got a pee, and I got to be focused for the rest of this.
We're going to edit this out.
unidentified
I'll be back in about two minutes.
dan friesen
We'll be back.
Sorry about that, guys.
All right, we're back.
jordan holmes
All right, we're back.
dan friesen
I apologize.
Sorry about that.
But the reality is we have, you know, we got this home stretch to get through, and I wanted to keep my focus on point.
jordan holmes
You didn't want a third hour like Alex Jones.
You didn't want to bring up the fake energy.
dan friesen
Well, and also, I didn't want to be like sometimes when the body is doing things, you end up rushing through something and you lose track of the mission at hand, which is discussing things in the proper context as they should be discussed.
And I don't want to do that.
jordan holmes
Or you could say you had to pee.
dan friesen
I had to pee.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So let's get into this, Jordan.
The last hour or so of Alex Jones' show turns into...
It started with that clip where he's like, I fake most of my anger.
jordan holmes
It started bad, it's going to get worse.
dan friesen
Well, that's where everything got weird because he's like, run out of guests.
That Bitcoin guest did not go well.
No.
And he's just like, I sometimes can't.
jordan holmes
Yes, I did go to jail for selling explosives.
dan friesen
Fair enough.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's like, I can't fake it sometimes when it gets to this late in the show, blah, blah, blah.
And so that's where it kind of started.
And he's like, I've read lots of books.
Don't fucking come to me and say I haven't.
He got a little defensive about that.
Right.
I'm not bragging, but historians are stupid compared to me.
jordan holmes
Don't step.
dan friesen
All that.
jordan holmes
Come at the king, best not miss.
dan friesen
And if you remember, when he was getting into that, he was talking about like, this is the key, but he never got to it.
jordan holmes
They do have the keys, which in my notes I wrote keys to question mark.
What do they have the keys to?
dan friesen
Well, and I told you this isn't going to make sense, and don't worry about it.
jordan holmes
I know.
Which is a frustrating thing to say to me.
dan friesen
Well, and here's where we get to it.
We got a long, we got long clips.
So we're just going to be pausing throughout.
There's really no edit points throughout these.
Boy, this is a lot of trouble.
So let's jump in.
This is where this clip starts with Alex Jones.
I think he thinks he's Paul Revere.
It's weird.
It's very weird, but it's also self-reflective.
jordan holmes
You know what?
That's a really salient comparison to make because Paul Revere historically is far more celebrated than the female counterpart of Paul Revere, who is far more effective.
dan friesen
Whose name you don't even remember.
jordan holmes
Alex Jones.
Yeah, I know.
dan friesen
You know that trivia.
jordan holmes
I know.
I don't remember her fucking name because I'm a piece of shit.
God damn it.
I hate myself.
dan friesen
I called you out on it, but I don't really know.
jordan holmes
No, no, I think it's a valid criticism, and I apologize.
I should know that.
dan friesen
I do too.
alex jones
I have a tendency to get into the forest instead of just describing it as a forest.
I have a tendency to start getting into long historical diatribes.
jordan holmes
You are supposed to say the trees somewhere.
dan friesen
That's what he was looking for.
But then he's like, I just get into these historical diatribes.
jordan holmes
I tend to get into the forest, and I forget to talk about the forest.
That's not how that goes, but continue.
alex jones
Giving evidentiary information out.
dan friesen
Nope.
alex jones
Instead of just being Paul Revere, one us by land, two it by sea, and here come the red coats.
So he starts riding down the road saying the red coats are here.
He didn't say, I was there, and I saw them landing, and they were on their horses, and they had troops marching with weapons, and they had red uniforms with gold buttons, and I saw the general behind him, at least 10,000.
He said to arms to arms, the red coats have landed.
The British are here.
Why can't I just say that?
unidentified
Well, a lot of reasons.
alex jones
Because they will then take what I say and twist it.
I'm going to say this up front, and they're going to ignore it.
And they're going to lie about what I'm saying because they don't want you to see it.
dan friesen
So I just want to be clear.
I am keeping everything in, including Alex saying that people who are going to cover this are going to take it out of context and twist it.
I promise you, Alex, I hate you, and I respect you enough not to do that.
jordan holmes
So to begin, here is what he has said.
Instead of giving specifics, historical evidence, I should shout unverifiable nonsense.
dan friesen
Well, that's actually kind of the, I mean, that's exactly what he said.
But yeah, but in terms of that, as like a self-assessment, if this was therapy, I'd be like, well, the problem is solved.
You do just a lot of the problems.
Exactly.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Which he's going to continue to do, but in a very ugly, ugly way.
This is very ugly.
I can't stress this enough.
We'll have some fun with it.
But this is so ugly.
jordan holmes
Don't trust you anymore.
alex jones
And I know you as an audience see it, but I'm talking about the general public.
It's in the white papers.
It's in the text.
Now they're saying it in the news that in the 50s and 60s, the decision was made that there was overpopulation.
They were going to adopt eugenics-based ideas of chemicals in the food, in the water, to lower fertility, to lower IQ, to make the general public more manageable.
That's an eco-science written by the White House Science Czar of Obama, Holdren in 1974.
He wrote that.
He was a science art decades later.
dan friesen
Alex has not read this whole book.
I have read most of it, and I've read the relevant passages that he's talking about in great detail.
I've read the surrounding text, the contextual pieces of it.
This is a textbook about eco-science.
They don't advocate for putting anything in the water.
They don't talk about, they don't advocate for eugenics.
Not really.
Not in any extreme way, especially 1974 style.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Which eugenics wasn't really even all that popular in 1974.
Well, because when you look at it.
jordan holmes
No, I mean, if he's describing the 50s and 60s, eugenics was pretty popular.
dan friesen
Or even before that, in the 20s.
jordan holmes
If he was going to talk about the 30s, dude, eugenics was the deal.
Right.
dan friesen
It was a little bit different than our understanding of eugenics.
Still not great, but much different than the Hitlerian version of eugenics.
I mean, there's a difference between racial eugenics and strictly scientific eugenics.
Neither is great, but there's a thin line.
jordan holmes
There's a conversation to be had, but it's important to note, again, that Hitler's eugenics was begun and derived from American eugenics.
dan friesen
Yeah, there's a lot of that.
But I have read most of John P. Holdren's eco-science textbook.
It's like a thousand-something pages long.
It's too long.
I fucking love it.
I think it's great.
It taught me a lot about geology.
It taught me a lot about water distribution patterns.
There's a ton of really great things to learn it because it's a fucking textbook.
It's not a white paper in some way.
It was a textbook about ecological science and the parts of the paper it was written on was beige.
Alex is taking so much of this out of context.
We'll get into much greater detail about this in the endgame documentary because he brings that up and we'll get into it.
But just suffice it to say, he's completely lying about that.
This idea of depopulation even is based on a whole bunch of misrepresented things that Kissinger wrote back in the 70s, which are, again, it comes back to this difference between prescriptive and descriptive language.
jordan holmes
Also, it's hard to out-evil Kissinger.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
But it comes back to the kids.
You can criticize Kissinger on his own merits.
You don't need to put him in a weird situation beyond what the bullshit he wrote.
dan friesen
Well, it comes back to that whole thing where I'm like, I don't want to be defending George Soros.
He's a fucking billionaire weirdo.
I don't want to do that, but he is not a Nazi collaborator in the sense that you are describing him, Alex.
That is unfair.
In the same way, fucking Kissinger is a monster.
But the way Alex describes him in terms of advocating for 80% of the population to be killed is absolutely not true.
It's a misreading of things that he wrote because Alex is still reading on a seventh grade or seven-year-old level.
jordan holmes
Which is weird because you might actually be able to make a good argument for Kissinger being a Nazi collaborator.
dan friesen
Like, that's a probably better than Soros.
jordan holmes
Oh, way better than Soros.
I mean, the number of genocides that Kissinger had his hands in.
unidentified
Anyways.
Yeah.
alex jones
See, I'm already getting into the evidence instead of just giving you the general announcement, then I can get into the evidence and you can research the evidence for yourself because don't you want to research the evidence, which is bigger than I can even describe?
Bigger than I even know.
There's always endless reams of evidence.
It's so gargantuan that it's like standing on Kona, the big island in Hawaii.
Beautiful island shane.
dan friesen
Hawaii is the big island.
alex jones
Most remote in the world and saying.
dan friesen
Kona's a city.
I grew up in Hawaii.
I lived on Oahu, the city of Honolulu.
Spent a lot of time on the islands.
It was a good time.
How you doing?
alex jones
How you doing, Dave?
dan friesen
Hawaii is called the big island.
That's its nickname.
jordan holmes
This entire episode has been you waiting to say that.
dan friesen
No, actually, when I was editing clips, I didn't even recognize it.
jordan holmes
You didn't even recognize that?
Oh, man.
dan friesen
But it's fun because this is an example of Alex.
Like, he started the clip about being like, I get into, like, I just get into the weeds about stuff.
I talk about historical evidence and all the minutiae instead of just being Paul Revere yelling the British are coming.
And now he's getting into the weeds, but it's not historical evidence or any factual truth.
It's just him rambling.
It's just him saying things.
Yeah.
Also, that aren't true.
jordan holmes
Like Paul Revere.
dan friesen
Wait, Best Oswald Dockey.
You grew up in Honolulu, too?
What the fuck?
jordan holmes
Oh, shit.
dan friesen
Did you go to Ali Yalani high school, elementary school?
Also, how old are you?
I'm 33.
Did we go to elementary school together?
jordan holmes
This is getting weird.
dan friesen
Let's get back to the clip.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
And prove to me there's a Pacific Ocean.
And I just look at you and I say, well, I was brought up in the 20th century in the 21st century, and we have satellites, and I flew here, and it's real and exists.
And we call it the Pacific Ocean.
Here's the history of it.
And it's the largest ocean of 76% of our landmass covered by saltwater, 1% freshwater, not counting aquifers, 2% below ground, and aggregate scans may have 5%.
72 million areas covered almost 82% by water and geographical coverage on the surface landmass.
But if you actually look at it like the skin of an apple, it's the whole atmosphere and our entire ecosystem is only.
dan friesen
It's rambly nonsense.
jordan holmes
Shut up.
dan friesen
And he's just listing off numbers and shit like that.
But also, I don't know what Red Hill Elementary is.
I'm sorry.
I went to Elite Yolani fighting a lion eye.
No, Lioney is Illinois.
unidentified
I don't.
dan friesen
Elitees.
Anyway, who cares?
He said that 80-something percent is water, the surface of the Earth.
88%.
71.
Anyone cares?
jordan holmes
But the larger point of this nonsense.
dan friesen
Anyone can ramble off numbers and disconnected facts.
jordan holmes
It is the essential truth of any school that, yes, you can memorize facts.
That does not matter anywhere near as much as it's comprehending the meaning.
dan friesen
Do you understand when in your life it's most important scholastically to rattle off facts?
jordan holmes
Ooh, boy.
dan friesen
Second, third grade.
jordan holmes
Second, and third grade?
dan friesen
Yeah, that's around when that's most important.
alex jones
Yeah.
A very thin, small area that we cohabitate upon on this third rock out from the standard yellow sun, two-thirds of the way on the spiral arm of the yellow sun.
In deep space.
I mean, again, knowledge is just endless.
You can always blast out from any point and have unbelievable compendiums and reams of information.
But here's the bottom line: there is a biological, cultural, mathematical, systematic attack to make having children and to make having families and to make building human societies and cultures impossible.
From the taxes to the regulations to the work weeks to the travel to the chemicals and the biologicals to the propaganda to the medicalized tyranny to the brainwashing to start out with his audience is going to be triggered by various words.
jordan holmes
So you have the medical and everybody's picking their own word to be triggered by it, and then he gets to just jump on whatever people give the most response to.
dan friesen
The medical tyranny becomes vaccines.
The propaganda becomes feminism.
You know, whatever.
It's all just like.
jordan holmes
But before we dig into that, shout out to John Lithgow.
dan friesen
Choose your third rock from the sun.
Oh, sure.
From the standard yellow.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it's choosing standard yellow sun.
As if that.
What?
unidentified
What?
jordan holmes
No!
Refuse.
Refuse.
Standard, standard, standard yellow sun.
Give me a scientist that says standard yellow sun.
dan friesen
Maybe Christopher Monckton.
jordan holmes
That doesn't even make any fucking sense.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
It's not like the yellow sun is the most common type of star.
dan friesen
No, but you know what?
jordan holmes
That's not a thing.
dan friesen
Do you know why he says that?
jordan holmes
Because he's a fucking moron.
dan friesen
What color is the sun on Krypton?
jordan holmes
I have no idea.
dan friesen
Isn't it red?
The red sun of Krypton?
unidentified
Oh.
jordan holmes
Is it a Superman?
Is it a red giant?
dan friesen
whole thing with the Krypton, isn't it?
jordan holmes
Oh, that sounds like it.
Yeah, that sounds right.
dan friesen
I think that Alex.
jordan holmes
I'm not a Superman guy.
I don't like overpowered anyways.
dan friesen
Listen, the reason I'm bringing this up is I think that Alex is basing that sort of idea of the standard yellow sun on the idea of comic books.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
And stuff like that.
jordan holmes
That makes sense.
dan friesen
I mean, who fucking knows?
Yeah.
Anyway, you're right, though.
The bigger point is that he's just rattling off the, like, all of these reasons why having a family is unnecessary.
jordan holmes
No, you, you, it's a smorgasbord.
It's a buffet.
He is, he is town buffet of bullshit.
dan friesen
But even when some of those examples that he's giving are literal, like, counter-examples to his point.
Like, taxes.
There's breaks for having children.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
So, like, it's not.
It doesn't work.
Like, some of the examples along the way are vague and clearly trying to just be like, I gotcha.
And some of the other ones are like, nope.
Yeah, okay.
Got confirmation.
The sun on Krypton's red.
I can move on now.
alex jones
Say the N-word.
jordan holmes
With your life.
alex jones
Sounds totally reasonable.
I don't say it.
Was brought about to say it.
dan friesen
I'm going to scroll this back because I don't think you heard the context there.
jordan holmes
I missed that a little bit.
alex jones
Enda to the medicalized tyranny, to the brainwashing to start out with, don't say the N-word.
Sounds totally reasonable.
I don't say it.
Was brought about to say it.
dan friesen
Don't believe it.
alex jones
Because I'm a good guy.
I wouldn't look down on somebody to feel big.
jordan holmes
You're not.
alex jones
A lot of those folks you're looking down on are better than you at many things.
So why would I join that culture?
unidentified
Hmm.
alex jones
And then it's, we're going to ban Nazis.
Yes!
dan friesen
Neighbors.
alex jones
Well, now you're a Nazi.
Oh, I'm banned now.
You just called me one.
It doesn't matter.
jordan holmes
You are a Nazi.
alex jones
So the FCC has what seven, eight words you're not supposed to say on radio.
dan friesen
Carlin.
jordan holmes
Ha ha.
unidentified
What?
jordan holmes
Fuck shit, piss, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker tits?
Classic ban.
I think that's the one.
dan friesen
Did you know that Alex once interviewed George Carlin?
jordan holmes
That's.
Tell me.
dan friesen
Do you not remember?
jordan holmes
Tell me that you have out of here.
dan friesen
We've covered this on the show.
jordan holmes
We have not.
dan friesen
He didn't interview him.
One of his reporters went to a book signing and tried to ask him a question at the book sign.
jordan holmes
You did not frame it the correct way.
dan friesen
No, he says that he interviewed him.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now I get it.
dan friesen
So there's those seven words.
You're not supposed to say the N-word.
That's true.
And then now Nazis are banned, which apparently they're not.
jordan holmes
They're very not banned.
dan friesen
Yeah, it just turns out.
jordan holmes
They're frustratingly not banned.
dan friesen
It just turns out that most people are really cool with you punching them.
That's really all it is.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Anyway.
alex jones
TV was broadcasting.
jordan holmes
Ooh, always punching.
alex jones
The word tranny, which was created 20-something years ago by people in that community that want to identify as women and like men, like women, you name it, and want to do that.
Do I hate those people?
Absolutely not.
Did I ever say I hated them?
No.
And it's not like they beat me over the head until I said I wasn't against it.
A lot of us are destructive lifestyle, heavy suicide, big problems.
I'm not even shutting.
dan friesen
Might as well just take a break there.
alex jones
Wow.
dan friesen
To compress that.
Nope.
I mean.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No.
It's their fault for their lifestyle.
Definitely has nothing to fuck you.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, that's the same rhetoric that was used against the gay community in the early days of that.
jordan holmes
It's your fault.
dan friesen
I mean, look, if you want to say, like, hey, you can't say this word, they came up with that word.
I mean, the list is long of words created by communities that have been co-opted and used as slurs.
Exactly.
And whose fault is that?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Probably very open-minded people like Alex.
Sure.
alex jones
Gotting those people who are human beings.
I don't hate them.
I don't need to feel they're bad and they have problems, and I'm this big moral guy when I certainly am not perfect.
jordan holmes
You call them globalists.
alex jones
I'm probably more wicked than they are in some respects.
jordan holmes
Indeed.
alex jones
Do you see that as wicked?
But you look at that word.
We got a call last year and we recorded the vice president and much Facebook.
dan friesen
So Alex is claiming here that the vice president, you just heard it right there, the vice president of Facebook called him and he recorded the call.
And the guy said he's going to explain what he said.
He's talked about this a bunch of times, so it's not totally new news.
It's like, you can't say that T-word.
unidentified
You can say anything else, baby, but we'll ban you if you say that T-word.
alex jones
Don't do it.
jordan holmes
That doesn't sound true at all.
dan friesen
I don't believe it for a second.
It's absolutely untrue.
jordan holmes
I have left Facebook for nigh on a year now, and it has been a delight.
dan friesen
I've seen a lot of people post that word.
jordan holmes
But yeah.
dan friesen
And I've seen a lot of people post a lot worse.
jordan holmes
Before I was gone, that was definitely there.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
A lot of people weren't banned for that word.
dan friesen
It's categorical nonsense.
jordan holmes
And frankly, you know what?
dan friesen
But you know what?
jordan holmes
Rue Paul uses that word on her Facebook page.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Like, it doesn't matter.
dan friesen
Right.
That's a different conversation.
jordan holmes
It's a whole different concept.
dan friesen
It's more complicated conversation.
Super complicated.
jordan holmes
But the one that you and I do not have standing on.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Is the best way of putting that.
dan friesen
The other thing that I want to take out of this, too, though, is that I have a standing position that whenever Alex says he has footage of something and he doesn't produce it, I don't believe it.
unidentified
Well, yeah.
dan friesen
Because he does this all the time.
He said he had hours of footage of Megan Kelly sucking up to him and all this and proof that she's a liar.
And then as soon as the interview came out and it wasn't that damaging, eh, never going to release all that footage.
jordan holmes
Never needed to talk about it again.
dan friesen
He constantly talks about how he has hours and hours of footage of Antifa beating up women at these Trump rallies.
And all that he plays are these wildly innocuous videos of someone maybe pushing a mic out of their face.
You're like, hey, you know, you didn't need to hit that mic, but you did.
Certainly not an assault.
Certainly not extreme.
But he's like, we've got hours and hours of this footage.
Never produced.
So the idea that the vice president of Facebook called him, he recorded the call, it's not true.
It's absolutely not true until proven otherwise.
jordan holmes
Well, I think that is indicative of one of my largest issues with so much of media attention is that, well, it's not abject, proven, consistent liars.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
It's not that they shouldn't exist or that they like, it's that we should be able to learn from that.
Like, once you become, once you become an untrustworthy source, you should not be consulted and your opinion should be devalued.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And that goes for people in the mainstream, too.
jordan holmes
Right, absolutely.
Anytime Paul Ryan speaks, everybody should just be like, no.
You're not trustworthy.
dan friesen
Or Peter Jennings.
jordan holmes
So you're done.
Oh, absolutely.
dan friesen
Is that Peter Jennings?
Is that one thing?
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Who's that guy who's on 30 Rock?
That guy who's real fun on 30 Rock.
That news anchor who lied about it.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Brian Williams.
jordan holmes
Brian Williams.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
These boring ass names.
jordan holmes
Peter Jennings.
No, Peter Jennings is old school.
I think you're thinking of Ken Jennings, the Jeopardy champion.
dan friesen
I'm not.
jordan holmes
Because he does not lie, sir.
dan friesen
His credibility is still intact as far as I know.
jordan holmes
No, I feel like why there's so many times where we keep seeing people who have been documented lying to us and they're still allowed to go on.
Jordan, if you're a fucking liar that we have proved to have lied multiple times, then you're done.
No one should listen to you.
dan friesen
Let me inject one more variable into this.
I believe it comes down to faith.
If you are a good faith liar, like someone who has lied in good faith, like you accidentally reported a story that wasn't true.
Like you're in anchor and there's a story that comes up and you report it.
Turns out it's not true.
And then there's a correction that's released and all that.
jordan holmes
I'm talking about consistent behavior.
dan friesen
Right, right.
That's bad faith lying.
That is intent.
That is really what it comes down to.
You know what I'm saying?
And that's what Alex does.
That's what Cernovich does.
That's what all these assholes do.
It's bad faith.
It comes down to this Kantian idea of the only thing that's good in life is a good will.
And they have a bad will.
They wish bad.
jordan holmes
Anytime, anytime you see an oil lobbyist show up on a fucking show to talk about climate change, it's like, no, you're not allowed here.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Because you're a liar.
It's been proven.
You're done.
There's no both sides.
There's no opinion.
dan friesen
Spoiler alert.
jordan holmes
God damn it.
dan friesen
I've just done a bunch of research into Alex Jones' climate science guy, Lord Monckton.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, but that one was not hard.
dan friesen
It turns out he works for an organization that's gotten tons of money from Exxon.
Yeah.
Spoiler alert.
Real money.
jordan holmes
No, a cursory Google search should prove that.
unidentified
It took me three Google searches, to be fair.
dan friesen
Had to find the organization, the thing that you wanted to do.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, but you wanted to be thorough.
dan friesen
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, like, what it really comes down to, and this is something that we talk about sort of vaguely all the time.
I think it's really spiritually what we're talking about.
And that is that, like, a lot of people are going to lie to you or lie to you accidentally.
And it's your civic responsibility to understand what you're hearing.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Like, we unfortunately live in an era now where there's enough people with bad will and bad faith who are operating, running around and pretending, like, because the internet is such that you can create a real good, official-looking website and lie all day on it.
Or you can be someone who has enough juice on Twitter or something like that, and you can get invited on CNN or some of the shows to talk.
And it's no longer a place where you can trust the public discourse has a rooting in reality.
You have to look.
You have to check.
jordan holmes
I don't think that that is a new phenomenon.
dan friesen
I think it is.
jordan holmes
I disagree.
I think the echo chamber is much larger now, and it's got a farther reach.
But if you go back through history, like liars abound.
dan friesen
Well, liars abounded, but generally speaking, I think things were a little stricter before.
jordan holmes
Disagree.
dan friesen
Maybe.
But also back then there were other problems with like, you know, we'll just never tell certain stories.
jordan holmes
Malaria?
dan friesen
Oh yeah, yeah, we'll never tell certain stories.
jordan holmes
Right.
So you have like three news channels and none of them would cover something very important to or you have your like we won't allow the like when LBJ refused to because of political reasons what was the quote like we can't put this out because it would undermine people's faith in the government so much that it would be destructive.
Like all of these different lies.
Or, you know, Nixon kept the Vietnam War going by fucking negotiating secret anti-peace treaties in order to make sure that he could be re-elected.
dan friesen
And a rad-contra happened.
jordan holmes
Thousands upon thousands of people died just so Nixon could get re-elected.
dan friesen
Speaking of which, Larry Nichols hasn't been on the show lately.
I haven't heard from him in a really long time.
I wonder if he's dead.
unidentified
Oh, but he doesn't really have cancer.
dan friesen
I know, but he's still fucking old as shit.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
He certainly doesn't seem healthy, even if he doesn't have cancer.
jordan holmes
He's still cancer.
Is this our Abe Vogoda situation?
Like, do we need a timer of like, is Abe Vogoda dead?
dan friesen
If there is a fish, if there's the fish of Knowledge Fight, it's fucking Larry Nichols.
We should call him.
I mean, not now.
It's pretty late.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
Call him.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
We've had four beers.
Now's the time to call Larry Nichols.
dan friesen
Larry.
unidentified
Hey.
dan friesen
Anyway, let's get back to this clip.
alex jones
They said, listen, you can stay on.
But there's one thing.
We're going to put this report out soon.
There's one thing you can't say.
unidentified
One thing.
alex jones
And that's tranny.
Now, there's so much to that.
And I said, well, that's a term created by that community.
Well, Facebook and Twitter judged in 2017 that it's a hate word.
So it's gone.
See, and once you accept that you can't say the new N-word, then it's another word.
jordan holmes
The N-word is still another word.
alex jones
But why did they choose that word?
dan friesen
So here's the problem that I have with that logic.
jordan holmes
What do you mean, why did they choose that word?
dan friesen
I don't care.
That to me is less interesting than the flaw in Alex's logic of like, Alex, just start shouting the N-word.
Why not?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
You pussy?
jordan holmes
If you are like, no, it's a free speech issue.
Why are you even saying, quote, the N-word?
dan friesen
Exactly.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Exactly.
What is your fucking problem?
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
You say the T because you know your audience doesn't give a shit about.
jordan holmes
It's like, it's the John.
dan friesen
Your audience isn't going to be offended by that.
They think they're weird.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but he's going to get a lot of press from saying that.
dan friesen
But yeah, there was an article in Right Wing Watch.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But it only covered a slight portion of this entire range.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
It only covered the part.
We'll get to it.
jordan holmes
No, I mean, it's the old John Mulaney joke of writing for an award show, and they're like, okay, you can't say midget.
It's the N-word.
And he's like, well, one word we're saying and the other word we're not.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
So it's not as bad.
You know, like that kind of thing.
And it's not, like, I'm not endorsing.
dan friesen
It's not fair N-word.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
It's like, I'm not saying that these words are acceptable or good labels.
dan friesen
Let me throw this out.
All of them aren't good.
jordan holmes
It's not good.
Maybe don't be a dick about it.
dan friesen
I really, really, like, I don't understand where it comes into, like, this is, this is, this becomes such a problem for me, and it's not just because I'm a supporter of trans rights.
That's secondary to just the idea of, like, this is a free speech issue.
Why can't I say things that people don't want to be called?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And it's like, well, I mean, like, you know, like, if you, if I didn't know you and I just screamed shithead at you on the street or something like that, you probably generally don't like being called a shithead.
I'd probably I'd be an asshole for saying that to you.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Take any of the identifiers out of it, and it's all just, like, just stop.
jordan holmes
So much, so much of these, so much of these conversations can be boiled down to don't be a dick.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You know?
dan friesen
Which is apparently, it is apparently, according to Callie Girl90 in the chat room, a real big fish song, which I'm a huge fan of.
All right.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
Stop it.
All right.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
No, but totally, it is.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
It is.
It is just like be a fucking courteous human being who's hearing what people say.
And I know, Alex, that you are hearing it because you say the N-word and don't drop a hard R on the show.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
You know that your funding and all this isn't going to dry up if you drop an N-bomb on the show.
You know that.
You know that your funding doesn't depend on that.
If you really gave a shit, you'd just be throwing the N-word around like crazy.
And that to me means that your principle is flawed and your idea is stupid.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But keep digging.
alex jones
Because it's trans.
It has nothing to do with men that want to be women or women that want to be men and all the rest of it.
It's once they get you.
Yeah, they called the police on people that said training on the radio.
That's daily caller.
dan friesen
This was an article about student radio thing where there were some students on the radio and they were offended and called the police on it.
I don't really, I don't, I don't, I don't think that's necessarily the appropriate response, but also I think that student radio, especially in college, is a murky territory in terms of FCC laws.
unidentified
I don't know.
jordan holmes
Don't have a dog in that fight.
dan friesen
Don't care.
But anyway, hold on.
jordan holmes
No, no, no, no.
Here's the big thing that he just said that I think is one of the most important things to tackle in regards to this conversation.
alex jones
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
The idea of trans people want to be a man or want to be a woman.
That is not the case.
is like saying that gay people want to be gay and it is not it is not a want want gives you such a a connotation of like i am choosing this because i desire it and not because this is part of my identity this is part of who i am right just like It's like saying like, I want to be straight.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I have no desire towards that.
unidentified
That is just part of your orientation.
jordan holmes
I have never considered it.
I mean, I've considered it.
dan friesen
I was waiting for that shoe to be.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
Of course.
But that's a different conversation.
dan friesen
That might have been the funniest thing that's ever happened on this podcast.
I lost a cigarette.
unidentified
It's right next to your foot.
dan friesen
Stupid foot.
jordan holmes
It's down right there.
unidentified
Man.
jordan holmes
Great podcast.
Good pod.
dan friesen
Good pod.
Yeah, no, totally, totally.
The idea of your desires and your orientation being equivalent are very different because history has shown, studies have shown that the idea of trying to change your orientation is a road of peril.
It's a road that never really does anything but create more shame and usually more internal anguish.
And the idea that because we always, if you want to take this, because Alex is going to eventually, I don't think he does in this episode, but he always does do the dumb.
I think he actually does.
I'm going to hold off on this.
Okay.
Because I think he gets into the biological stuff later.
Oh, no.
We can deal with that.
jordan holmes
To me, it is the fundamental issue with that kind of acceptance of different ideas of life is you are like me.
So if you are not acting like me, then you are desiring something that I find to be morally objectionable.
Or questionable.
Yeah, and so it is not something that you can accept as you are not like me, and so you are you.
It's a very, it's a projection that is such at the heart of all of this prejudice and all of this hate.
dan friesen
Well, there's all this stupid idea.
This is something that bombs.
jordan holmes
It's like saying, you know what?
These black people just don't want to be white.
They want to be black instead of it being something that is part of who you are.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Like it is like you can desire yourself out of something that you are, which I think is bullshit.
dan friesen
Totally.
And there's a secondary aspect to this that Alex is really, I think really the core of what he's talking about is this idea of like trying to shut down the language.
They're trying to shut down the ability of men and women to exist, all this.
And that's what he's, he's going to dig into that a little bit.
And one of the things that has never charmed me about that argument is that like if you look at the reality of stuff, no one is ever really shutting down language.
They're expanding language.
Right.
The reality of, you know, back in the day when America was great.
jordan holmes
Nope.
Don't even say those words.
dan friesen
In the 50s.
jordan holmes
Don't even like it.
unidentified
You had straight people and the queers, right?
dan friesen
In the 50s.
Right.
jordan holmes
I don't like that.
dan friesen
Back when America was great.
jordan holmes
I'm going to let you continue.
dan friesen
I'm being satirical.
I get it.
jordan holmes
Satire.
dan friesen
Yeah, you had that dichotomy back then.
And there were a bunch of people who didn't fit into that dichotomy, and they were limited.
But the major prevailing people in society, most people didn't give a shit.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And eventually those people forced a conversation and the language got expanded.
And it didn't hurt the larger portion of population that are heterosexual, cisgender, any of those sorts of designations.
It doesn't hurt them at all.
All it does is expand what people's identification are.
Because back then there was heterosexual and the negative.
jordan holmes
Everybody else.
dan friesen
Right.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And it was not a straight dichotomy because back then there were people who were like, well, I'm not really what these people think I am.
The queer, I'm bisexual.
Or I'm, you know, there's a whole spectrum of things.
And as time went on, the language expanded.
And so Alex's arguments about this idea of like it closes off language and all this stuff, I think exactly the opposite.
unidentified
Of course not.
dan friesen
I think all it does is expand language.
And it expands our understanding of how people experience life.
And I think that's a fucking amazing, beautiful thing.
The word diversity is all mad.
jordan holmes
The word diversity does not shut down language.
It expands it.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's exactly the point.
dan friesen
It's a tragedy that, like, that he has a feeling.
Well, I mean, you know.
jordan holmes
So much of him is a tragedy.
dan friesen
But the tragedy is that, like, he believes a thing that's so counter to what the people on the other side that he's against are actually saying.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And actually believe.
jordan holmes
But in order to hate something that is eminently reasonable, you have to take an illogical and stupid approach to it.
dan friesen
Right.
Or you have to have a vested interest in that.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And I mean, who knows what that might be?
But be that as it may, let's go back to the cliff.
jordan holmes
Fortified supply.
dan friesen
Find some more fucking stupid shit.
jordan holmes
Fortified racist supply.
dan friesen
Oh, God.
alex jones
They arrest you in California if you say that.
Once they say that, now.
dan friesen
So real quick, what he's talking about there, they arrest you in California.
There's a law that's on the books, and it is about consistent misgendering of people.
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
And we've talked about that before.
dan friesen
We have.
But just to bring it back, it's more about harassment in the workplace.
It is not about like, hey, you accidentally call someone by the wrong pronoun.
You're going to the clink or anything like that.
It's nonsense.
It's absolute nonsense.
alex jones
Now, transhumanism, if you study eugenics, in 1949, they voted at the World Eugenics Society to call themselves transhumanist because Hitler and their funding of Hitler had made it look bad.
So Julian Huxley, brother Aulus Huxley, all that brave new world says right about the early 30s.
dan friesen
This is a rampant misrepresentation of all this.
A lot of this will also, I hate to keep saying this, a lot of this will be covered in the endgame documentary in much fuller detail.
All right.
Suffice it to say for now, he's fucking lying.
Although there is a connection between the early eugenics movement, it was not necessarily a racist eugenics movement that became a transhumanist movement.
And that is not at all involved in transgender issues, but because the prefix is the same.
unidentified
Trans.
dan friesen
So Alex gets very confused.
jordan holmes
Literally everything.
Transport?
That's what.
Oh.
dan friesen
We got to walk everywhere.
Dude, that's got to walk everywhere.
jordan holmes
That's what they do.
alex jones
They said, how did you know this?
Well, it's the plan.
Now you see it happen.
His brother said, we've been embarrassed, so now we're going to be transhumanists.
We're going to improve humans.
Well, that's your right if you think it's improvement, but what it means is take control governmentally of human development through chemicals, through biologicals, through culture, through brainwashing, through media, through education.
Okay?
jordan holmes
This is all their own opinion.
alex jones
This isn't my opinion.
This is them remember saying all this.
dan friesen
No, it's not.
But also, what Alex did right there is like, this triggers me to no extent, but I don't show anger really much at all.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
I mostly laugh at things that make me mad.
But I've noticed that assholes, when they're talking, in the middle of their sentences, they say, okay.
They do that.
They say, okay, in the middle of things, as if to say, like, oh, my God, do I say that?
No.
jordan holmes
Now I'm terrified.
dan friesen
No, I would have.
jordan holmes
I'm terrified of all of my ticks.
dan friesen
I would have punched you by now.
jordan holmes
So many ticks now that I'm trying to go back through and like, oh, shit, does that one mean?
Like, I know I'm an asshole.
I just don't want any of that.
dan friesen
Oh, you're a total asshole.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
No, no.
The standard, like that, okay, is like a rhetorical thing that people who have nothing do in the middle of sentences in order to be like, get on fucking board, get on board, yeah, idiot.
Yeah, you don't know what I'm talking about, okay, okay, okay, I'm making a point here, and uh, if you're not okay, it's just it's it's one of the weakest things in the world.
One of the best examples of it, we talked about this uh um press conference on our live show, the uh the Larry Sinclair press conference, oh, yeah, it's full of him saying, Okay, yeah, okay, like trying to explain away his crimes in the past.
unidentified
Well, look, I, it was 10 years in the past, oh shit.
dan friesen
Now that I, now that I, now that I made that connection, like Sarah Huckabee Sanders does that shit all the time, it's yeah, it's a it's a condescension trick, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a rhetorical condescension trick, also spoiler alert after we did that live show, I did a little more looking into Larry Sinclair.
Turns out one of his big donations came anonymously from uh Sarah Huckabee Sanders, no, someone she wasn't alive, someone in Minnesota in gold.
Ah, you know who sells gold, Jesse Ventura, no Ted Anderson, yeah, I know, and he's based in Minnesota.
Yeah, there's a decent chance that Ted Anderson, yep, Ted Anderson and Reverend Manning might have been involved anyway.
That's the who cares.
jordan holmes
Holy shit, fuck Larry Nichols.
We got to find Ted Anderson.
dan friesen
I don't think he'd ever talk to us.
jordan holmes
Oh, I bet he would.
He's probably bored.
He's a rich man.
dan friesen
All right.
Next episode, we'll give him a call.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
You're a radio listener.
The crew's just randomly searching what I say and just finding articles that say it, putting up.
jordan holmes
That's great news sourcing.
dan friesen
It's not true.
jordan holmes
The crew is randomly Googling after I say bullshit.
dan friesen
It's not true.
They're just showing like whatever flashes up on the document cam is just like a Wikipedia article or some like eventually he's going to get into the Tyve Stock Institute and it'll just be their homepage.
It doesn't prove anything.
It just is like, oh, look at this.
alex jones
Ha ha.
Because it's them saying.
So once they get you to say, hey, don't even say a word that has to be with transitional.
Don't even discuss human evolution.
Whether it's self-directed, because that's a very human trait, is to self-direct what you want to be, your environment, who you want to be, how long you want to live, what you want to do.
It is a very human thing to be a man and to say, I want to be a woman, or to be a woman and say, I want to be a man.
dan friesen
I wish that that was all he said.
alex jones
I'm not saying that's the human thing or a good human thing.
I'm saying it's very human to say, I want to be something different.
I want to build something.
I want to change myself.
I want to.
That's what we do.
We control our environment.
We're the only species that does it.
And whatever we envision, we can envision at all.
dan friesen
Beavers make dams.
jordan holmes
Like fucking ants.
Like, just let's ants.
dan friesen
Rats.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like a rat king changes their environment.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
They turn into a bundle of rats.
jordan holmes
There's one thing I know about rats.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
It's rat kings.
dan friesen
This is sad.
Like, this is like it's so, it's such tunnel vision about like the totality of human experience and animal experience.
You know, even like gophers make holes and stuff.
There's a lot of, there's a lot of animals that, now that I'm thinking about it, change their environment drastically.
jordan holmes
Pretty much a lot of them.
unidentified
Yeah.
alex jones
But once they get you to accept that, then they can go into the schools.
They can tell your children you confuse their sex.
They can brainwash them for an agenda where they want to be 50 different things.
And I made the point.
There's these shows on history and discovery.
I don't even watch much TV and I see people who love their cars and marry them.
This woman loves her bunny.
And I'm like, that's just crazy.
It's a fetish.
It's weird.
Whatever.
I don't hate that person.
dan friesen
Sure.
alex jones
Spreading disease, having sex with the VFW's tailpipe.
And the headline is, Alex Jones says gay men are bad.
Gay!
All over the niche.
Didn't say that.
But see, once they say don't criticize gay men, don't criticize trans, then they can say don't criticize people that have four parents and aren't really people.
jordan holmes
Because they're not.
alex jones
They're something new.
Don't say you're a person.
See, there's another key to understand all this.
Take zoological experiments.
Take humans have rights.
Animals have rights.
But all these trans-human zoological experiments they have declassified they've done for 40 years.
They declassified it 20 years ago that they'd done it 20 years before.
So 40 years of human-animal hybrids, human-human hybrids, you know, five genetics of men, women, all of it.
It's been artificially made.
jordan holmes
It's a lot of people called children.
Right.
alex jones
Artificially made.
And now if you discuss that it's artificially made or what is it or does it have rights, you're done.
You're gone.
You're bad.
You're a hate monger.
And that's why this is a critical area.
They said, how do we get them to accept men becoming women, women becoming men?
Because once they do that, they'll accept the brain chips, all of it, splicing with animals, people that really aren't people, humanoids.
And then that's it.
This is it.
This is the total mainlining of end inhumanity as we know it, and it's being forced directed at our children.
It's not a choice to become something new.
It's being forced.
unidentified
So here's being force-directed at our children.
dan friesen
Here's where my issue comes in with Alex's rhetoric about like, I don't hate these people.
But do you mean he's specifically talking about trans people?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I don't hate them.
Now, granted, they're very similar to chimeras.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And it's destroying the human race.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Oh, there's like, you can't.
jordan holmes
I don't hate people.
dan friesen
You can't use this rhetoric.
You can't use this rhetoric and this analogy.
You can't use this level of analogy game and just be like, now, I'm not comparing them, but I'm fucking comparing them.
It's not okay.
jordan holmes
I think the thing that, like, that I expected.
I think the thing that triggered me most from Alex.
Oh, from Alex.
alex jones
Hold on.
Come on.
unidentified
It's not them.
jordan holmes
Come on now.
Well, to be fair, again, his feelings regarding trans people, we have documented exhaustively.
dan friesen
To be fair.
Only sponsored posts killing it in the chat tonight with, in quotes, VFW's tailpipe.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Well, that's the thing that made me so angry is how foreign wars.
How dare you say that people are spreading disease?
How dare you?
By fucking.
Zero disease is spread by fucking a car.
dan friesen
No, that's what he says.
jordan holmes
All the disease is spread by not taking vaccines.
dan friesen
Or by not using a condom when you're in the middle of the park.
jordan holmes
I mean, always use it.
dan friesen
You can always use a condom.
If that tailpipe is rusted.
jordan holmes
That's not where tetanus comes from.
That's what I heard.
dan friesen
Is that right?
jordan holmes
I have no idea.
dan friesen
There could be some tetanus truthers out there.
jordan holmes
Probably.
dan friesen
But look, I just, it bums me out, and I know what's to come.
And so I don't want to.
jordan holmes
All right, let's go into we're at like two and a half hours.
dan friesen
No, we're not.
We're like at 210.
Okay.
But also, unfortunately, I have to take another intermission.
jordan holmes
Dude!
dan friesen
It will be quick, and I promise you, things are about to get really bad.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
Hey, we're back.
Sorry about that.
You know what happened?
I turned on interstitial hold music and forgot to plug my phone back in, so there was no beats going for the people in the chat room.
I apologize.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
Anyone is stuck along?
We appreciate it so much.
We have two clips left.
And the second clip is, I promise you, Jordan.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Literally a punchline.
But unfortunately, we got this.
This next clip.
So at the end of that last clip, we went to commercial with Alex saying that all this is manufactured.
It's all nonsense.
And the transphobia is strong.
It's very strong.
Right.
jordan holmes
Like Anakin Skywalker.
He's force.
Okay.
dan friesen
We've pointed out a number of things that are like some of the problems with the thinking.
And it gets a bit uglier as he comes back from commercial break.
And so this will be a little bit more difficult to deal with.
But here we go.
alex jones
Alex Jones here back live.
There is a blitzkrieg taking place against the human condition.
We're being put into an artificial construct for control, for reverse engineering, and then for extermination.
That is the admissions of the globalists.
Elon Musk has warned you that they worship AI gods they believe are about to show up on the scene.
dan friesen
Not true.
Elon Musk just tweeted about some guy who said he was going to try and create an AI god.
And he's like, you're the last person who should do that.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Just a dishy comment between people who kind of know each other and probably don't like each other.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's fine.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
It has nothing to do with the reality of AI gods.
jordan holmes
Right.
Again, Whitey's on the moon.
alex jones
Who demands humanity be exterminated first.
Now, that said, let me quantify this.
unidentified
Quantify.
jordan holmes
Do it.
alex jones
The whole trans movement has nothing to do with homosexual men.
It has nothing to do with trans people.
It has to do with attacking language.
So you will not call someone heterosexual or homosexual.
unidentified
No.
alex jones
The very debate about someone's chromosomes and biological preset is illegal.
jordan holmes
That's not how it works.
alex jones
So now he was a gay lad.
It was a gay day.
That language is expropriated from homosexual.
unidentified
It's not to gay.
alex jones
Just like no one will say haucazoid, caucus mountains.
jordan holmes
No, that's true.
No one will say hawkazoid.
dan friesen
Alex seems to have like what I would describe as a warped understanding of like words.
Well, like, and appropriate language.
I don't think that there's anything like, I don't think anyone's offended by homosexual.
Like, I don't think that's a pejorative term.
Nah.
Or heterosexual.
He talks about that being like, oh, I'm going to say homosexual.
I'm going to say it.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
I don't think anyone really cares.
I mean, but even though even gay, it depends on that.
alex jones
I don't say it.
jordan holmes
I don't like how he says it.
dan friesen
Right, right.
But I don't even say that.
jordan holmes
I don't like him talking about anything.
dan friesen
But I don't think even gay is bad unless you use it in like a you're gay kind of way.
Like I don't think gay is it's it's just it's very it's very similar to specific enough.
jordan holmes
That's all.
It's very similar to Jew, you know?
Like you are a Jew, but you can also say Jew in a way that is like doing a bit from it's somebody's bit, isn't it?
dan friesen
It's a bit from that always sunny episode, the hard J. All right.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Okay.
I feel like it was somebody's bit before that.
dan friesen
But anyways, intent does come down into it.
But also, I want to say this.
jordan holmes
Which is a Pat and Oswald bit about many different.
Anyways.
dan friesen
Oh, I want to say this quite clearly in terms of my perspective.
Trans movement is not about gay men.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I was totally on board with him the first part.
dan friesen
Trans movement is not about constricting language.
It's about fucking people.
jordan holmes
Which is the second part of what he said.
He said the trans movement is not about gay people.
And I was like, yes, you nailed it.
Right.
That's a different thing.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And then he said the trans movement is not about trans people.
And I was like, you do not understand the trans movement.
It's kind of about people.
dan friesen
Again, he thinks it's about this confining language thing.
And it's so baffling to me.
It just comes down to, I think, this same libertarian idea about like, I hate the Civil Rights Act because I can't say no blacks in my establishment or something like that.
jordan holmes
But I'm not racist.
I just can't say it.
dan friesen
Well, I don't want to run that business, but someone should be able to.
It's their right.
It's this hiding behind.
If you look at the language of like desegregationists and de-integration people, people who are against integration, they use the same language of like, I don't hate the people, but I don't like the effect that it has on business.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Or something like that.
It's always people couching these beliefs of like, look, I love the people.
They're fine.
They're great.
They should be able to do whatever they want.
But.
jordan holmes
It can never be said enough how unpopular Martin Luther King Jr. was.
dan friesen
Totally.
jordan holmes
People hated him.
They killed him.
dan friesen
They hated him.
unidentified
They killed him.
jordan holmes
The FBI allowed them to kill him.
dan friesen
Well, and tons of people would have sooner.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And it's just one of those things where it's like the revision of your history is always going to be.
No, he was a hero.
He was the best.
And it was like, at the time, even people in the civil rights movement were like, you're moving too fast.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Like, it's always going to be the thing.
dan friesen
Realistically, I think that we have probably a more evolved populace right now than we did back then.
Like, if you look at the numbers in terms of the people who were active in the civil rights movement then and people who are on board with a lot of progressive causes now, I think we probably have a better bulk, better percentage of me to think of because we're not getting that work done.
jordan holmes
Supports my argument that everyone over the age of 45 should be killed immediately.
What?
Is that a bad idea?
unidentified
It is.
dan friesen
I had a weird thought.
jordan holmes
I feel like it's all right.
dan friesen
But I don't remember what it was, so I'm not going to speak on it.
jordan holmes
I don't like you saying I had a weird thought about that.
dan friesen
It's a kernel of something.
It's for the show, but I can't remember what it was.
So let's get back to the clip.
alex jones
Has nothing to do with saying bad things about white people, or they want to change the name of Negro Modello.
It means black beer.
dan friesen
Modello.
jordan holmes
Nobody wants to do that.
dan friesen
Modello means model.
alex jones
You can't use the scientific name for black people.
It has nothing to do with saying their bats.
dan friesen
Not a scientific name.
Oh, also, don't say the scientific name for black people.
alex jones
Hold on to that.
jordan holmes
Hold on.
dan friesen
How about that?
jordan holmes
Wait, is Negro the scientific name for black people?
dan friesen
Well, like, it would be, I guess, Homo Negrois or something like that.
If he wants to say that.
jordan holmes
I don't feel like that's a scientific name.
dan friesen
Homo sapiens, sapien, negrillis.
I don't know what it would be in Latin.
jordan holmes
Here's what I think it would be: folks?
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Just people?
dan friesen
People.
alex jones
In on it.
jordan holmes
Or me.
alex jones
Once you can't use the M word, now you can't use in.
unidentified
Yeah.
alex jones
I remember in middle school, people getting upset because they were doing geography and saying, this is Niger.
You said the N-word sounds so much more.
You see the mental illness?
dan friesen
But that's what children do.
They think that Niger sounds like the N-word.
The adults don't.
The adults aren't confused because they're trying to teach geography.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And they know geography and they know all the countries.
The children are the ones who are like, ha ha ha, that looks like the N-word.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Because I remember I was a kid.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And so Alex is like, he's projecting that onto adults, and that's not the case.
All of this is children.
It's child thoughts.
Alex is a fucking child.
Agreed.
Everything in his brain has not evolved since he was seven or eight.
It's fucking fascinating how this is such a clear line through this episode.
Even through all this bigotry, all this stupid shit he's saying, it all goes back to the key.
jordan holmes
The key is the keys to that they have.
dan friesen
The key is all of his bullshit about reading when he was younger and not understanding.
jordan holmes
The key is he still doesn't actually know how to read.
dan friesen
I don't think he does.
jordan holmes
I agree.
alex jones
And the globalist psychologists are running this, and they want to reduce world population.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Who does it?
alex jones
The Tavistock Institute in the 60s.
dan friesen
Again, he's confusing the Tavistock Institute and the Tavistock clients.
jordan holmes
Still doing Tavistock.
alex jones
This is public.
They're very proud of it.
Develop the plan for Trans Nation Trans World.
And once you say to children in the fifth grade, starting, but now in the first grade, you're a girl, you could be a boy.
You're a boy, you could be a girl.
So then it's, you can't say boy or girl because someone else might not be that.
It hurts them.
jordan holmes
I'm out.
I don't even care.
dan friesen
You know what I mean?
jordan holmes
I'm past this.
Yeah.
Look, this is Purple Penguins.
Let's move on.
dan friesen
I mean, the reality is, like, if people are giving this sort of influence to children, it's not, hey, boy, you want to be a girl?
jordan holmes
hey girl do you want to be a boy it's more like he makes it he makes it sound like kids are walking home from school and there's a guy in a trench coat right and he opens up his trench coat and instead it's like penises like you want You want one of these.
It's Slugworth yeah, to trick you into changing your gender fucking Slugworth.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's nonsense.
Yeah, it's nonsense.
I know a number of people who uh have come up trans.
I don't, I don't even like that, that's how I said it, but I know a number of trans people and, like their experience is uh very different, right uh to this idea of uh, the idea that people made it okay, which is perhaps the best rebuttal to Alex Jones's argument about language.
jordan holmes
The two of us are.
We both want very much to be as inclusive as possible.
We want our language to be as close as inclusive as possible.
And we still fuck up because both of us come from such ingrained backgrounds that a lot of our instinctive language that we're not like we're not constantly evaluating that whenever we're doing a show like this.
We don't have we're just talking.
That is not to say that we are not conscious of it or aware of it.
It is something that we're constantly trying to learn more about.
Well, it's a and so and so if you do say something like that, I don't like the way I said come up trans.
Right.
It is not because you are just how it came out of my mouth.
Exactly.
It's like I'm trying to accommodate with my language as well as I can because I think it's important and I'm not going to be good at it.
dan friesen
As I'm framing sentences.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
It's a situation where like I think, I think, I don't know, I have trans friends and my experience is that like no one cares if you fuck up.
jordan holmes
Right.
Exactly.
Because they're like, no, no, no, we get it.
You're not a dick.
dan friesen
Good faith.
Again, it comes down to the difference between good faith and bad faith.
People only really get mad if you have bad faith.
It comes down to the exact same thing we were talking about earlier with the hard J with your stolen bit from it's always Sunday.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
All right.
dan friesen
Well, like Jew and Jewish.
jordan holmes
Are we keeping track now of stolen bits?
Is that what we're doing?
dan friesen
Jew and Jew.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
That's good faith and bad faith.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Gay and gay.
All right.
Good faith and bad faith.
And there is a marked difference between the way you're using the exact same language.
And Alex is, I mean, he's a seven-year-old.
He doesn't understand the nature of it.
He's always bad faith.
jordan holmes
Always bad faith.
dan friesen
But he doesn't understand the nuances of it.
And he doesn't understand that he's on the bad faith side.
jordan holmes
See, this is.
dan friesen
And it's very easy to change.
It could be very easy for him.
jordan holmes
I disagree.
I do not think it's very easy to change.
dan friesen
In function, it's very easy.
In mindset, it might be difficult for him.
It would be a very simple action.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But it would take unlearning a lot of things that he has.
jordan holmes
Well, I grew up in such a repressive and cult.
Yeah.
So it is something that I am still learning.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Like, I'm 30 years old, and I have spent 20 of it trying not to be the asshole that my family has raised me to be.
And I'm still not great at it.
I'm trying.
dan friesen
I honestly think that if you hadn't have been raised in a cult, you'd still be struggling with that.
Like, it's just a it's it's a product of our times.
It's a product of our evolving understanding of humanity.
It's an evolution of empathy.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
It's something where we're realizing that the human experience is much deeper and much more widespread.
Nuanced, warrior, diverse than we thought.
Yeah.
In the good old days back when America was great.
jordan holmes
Fuck you.
dan friesen
We thought it was much more unipolar or bipolar back then.
And now we realize that it's thousands.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Thousands of poles.
I grew up in a town with five guys.
Like that was that was it.
dan friesen
Burgers and fries?
jordan holmes
Pretty much.
Five guys, burgers and fries?
No.
Sounds like a good idea.
I don't know why I said that.
Now that I say that, I realize that it's...
No, no, no.
I grew up in a very, very small town, and the experience was very limited.
And so even now, after escaping that, it's still like I'm still learning new things that I am fucking up.
Not because I knew I was fucking those things up.
It's because I just existed in a place where those things didn't even exist.
dan friesen
And God, like, it's one of those weird curses.
You know, those like, may you be, like, that curse of like, may you live that kind of thing.
Like, it's that same sort of curse, like, may you have to learn the whole time of your life.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
It's kind of a curse, but like, it's a good curse.
Like, it's always going to be uncomfortable, but a good curse is called a blessing.
You're always going to be learning, and that's fine.
That's fucking fine.
Humans are malleable.
We're not like, it's not like you have to be stuck in your ways.
And like, if the reality was that, like, there were this movement was really trying to end reproduction.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Like, if there was some actual evidence of that in the references Alex cited, I'd be pretty freaked out about that.
Right.
jordan holmes
No, of course.
dan friesen
I'd be like, we got it.
We got it.
We got it.
jordan holmes
We got to stop this, dude.
dan friesen
Trans identity is awesome.
I'm into it.
I'm into it, but we need to discuss the ending of reproduction.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
Or whatever.
You know, like, anyway, let's get through this.
I'm sorry.
jordan holmes
Come on.
dan friesen
Let's finish this class.
jordan holmes
Let's do it.
unidentified
So, what is the key?
alex jones
This whole trans movement is about outlawing science.
It's about outlawing male and female chromosomes that is absolute scientific fact.
dan friesen
And then he's mixing up sex and gender.
jordan holmes
No!
alex jones
Scientists come out like Jordan Peterson in Canada and says, listen, I don't hate you if you want to be something else, but you biologically were born as this.
dan friesen
Irrelevant.
alex jones
And now Google executives, which come out in lawsuits, and they admit this, get in front of a whole amphitheater of people last year and say, I am a golden dragonette.
A female dragon.
dan friesen
What he's talking about?
jordan holmes
Isn't that a child?
Isn't that a child dragon?
dan friesen
I don't care.
Maybe it's a dragonette, like a female dragon.
I don't care.
jordan holmes
Well, a dragonette is different from a dragonette, which is not a word.
dan friesen
Well, certainly.
jordan holmes
Anyways, if you would like to learn more about dragons and dragonets, read Ann McCaffrey.
dan friesen
People have tweeted at me to get into Jordan Peterson and debunk some of his shit.
I don't have time, but he's a fucking dick.
jordan holmes
He's a fucking idiot.
dan friesen
But be that as it may, this is not compelling.
I don't care what people might have said at a retreat where they're like, I'm a dragon.
I don't really give a shit.
jordan holmes
Oh, hold on a second.
Are you saying that billionaires are fucking assholes who should deserve to die?
unidentified
I'm on board.
dan friesen
Well, but even like I've been to deserve to die.
jordan holmes
Who do deserve to die?
dan friesen
I've been to weird work functions and retreats where he said weird shit.
jordan holmes
Oh, so many.
dan friesen
Like, I don't care.
I'm just here.
I'm just going to get through this.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Just so happens that this one might have been Google.
alex jones
Right.
I'm an expansive building.
I am yellow scales.
Everyone goes, you are a dragonette.
You have expansive building.
unidentified
He's just talking about trust falls, basically.
alex jones
If Google checks got up and said, I'm God, they say you're a cult leader.
But if you chant, I am a golden dragonette, they are making you say two plus two equals five.
They are making you with all these articles.
Like, they'll have hundreds of articles a week.
Like, Jones is insane.
He claims there's only two sexes.
He claims it's chromosomal.
He claims families existed.
And they just attack it.
He's insane.
He's crazy.
They're nuts.
They're nuts.
It's a gaslighting of you, not of me.
Not of me.
So that you give into that.
And then the sky's the limit.
And then there's scientific psychological warfare technicians who are going to go in when people in the trans community have the highest level of suicide of any group in the world.
jordan holmes
Who do we know who is a psych warfare guy?
dan friesen
I know one dude.
jordan holmes
Do we know a guy who's a psych warfare guy?
dan friesen
There's one guy who's even too much of a liar for Alex to allow on his show.
jordan holmes
Is there somebody who is really into psych warfare?
dan friesen
Well, but this guy promises that he's not going to use his psych warfare on Alex.
So you got to dismiss him.
jordan holmes
In that case, Dan, I'm going to give you five stars.
dan friesen
Steve Pieczenik is a psych warfare guy.
jordan holmes
Go home and call your mother.
dan friesen
Go get your shine box.
unidentified
He might as well have said that, quite frankly.
jordan holmes
That would have been more fun.
dan friesen
This is nonsense.
Also, the idea, the very fucking idea of using trans suicide statistics to balign the trans community is backwards.
unidentified
It is.
dan friesen
It's backwards.
jordan holmes
Yeah, there's no more.
dan friesen
Studies have been done very clearly on this.
jordan holmes
There's no more perfect indictment of the opposite than trans suicide statistics.
dan friesen
And the way Alex is doing it and the way he's about to do it is like the definition of blaming the victim.
jordan holmes
No.
alex jones
Don't worse than veterans, farmers, gay men, any.
jordan holmes
No.
alex jones
They have been captured.
They have been confused.
They are being abused.
They are being hurt.
And they're sucked into a very dangerous underworld of people that want to abuse them.
Almost every, quote, trans person is escort who has to have sex with dozens of people a day and they end up killing themselves.
That's a fact.
unidentified
Whew.
dan friesen
You know, it's that's that's terrible.
That's so terrible.
jordan holmes
It's it's kind of amazing to me that for the most part, we took his monstrosity and his language towards so many different people is horrific.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
But every time he brings up the trans community, it is unwieldy.
dan friesen
You know why?
jordan holmes
You know why?
Every time we have ever heard him talk about trans people, he has said the most offensive things.
dan friesen
Yeah, because he can.
Because that's the vanguard now in terms of like, it's not, it's not like socially, totally unacceptable to say these things.
jordan holmes
It's not the N-word.
dan friesen
Right.
unidentified
Exactly.
Exactly.
jordan holmes
That's what he says.
dan friesen
And that's why he says the N-word.
jordan holmes
That's why he's doing it.
dan friesen
Instead of the N-word.
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
He still feels like it's okay to say tranny, but not the N-word.
And so this is an example of this.
dan friesen
This is a pathetic document of something that, like, 15 years from now, even the Alex Jones of 15 years from now will be willing to sign on.
jordan holmes
When Alex Jones said that word.
Yeah.
dan friesen
And if you really want to get into the reality of the trans experience, which I don't think I'm fully aware of, but I have done some research in and looked into to some extent.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
There is a high incidence of escorting and prostitution in communities.
jordan holmes
And that is probably not about it.
dan friesen
It's probably more about runaway kids.
It's almost 100% about people who have been kicked out of their home because their parents don't accept them.
There's a much higher incidence of homelessness with trans youth, which is one of the reasons why we support the charity we support.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
And the issue comes down to, like, in homeless communities, prostitution is really rampant.
And that just is part and parcel with that experience.
Now, if you want to talk about the totality of the trans community, it's not a giant percentage of them who are prostitutes.
No.
That's an embarrassing and disgusting thing to say.
And then to lump in the high rate of suicide in that as like a causal kind of thing where it's like, you're all prostitutes and you fuck a bunch of people every day and then you kill yourself.
That to me is one of like that's a terrible sentence.
It's such a bad sentence.
jordan holmes
It's such an easy line to draw between how the people who don't belong to the dominant social stratus exist with a higher suicide rate than the people who do.
Isn't it such a simple, it's such a simple line to draw of like, oh, are you constantly excluded?
Surprise, your suicide rate is higher.
Well, I mean, like, it's that simple.
dan friesen
Take even like the trans piece out of it.
Just go back to another time in history.
Like, go back to feudal times.
Like, the death rate, suicide rate.
jordan holmes
Oh, of the serfs was higher than the rich people?
dan friesen
Yeah, the people who lived homes.
unidentified
Odd.
jordan holmes
Odd.
dan friesen
It turns out that historically, people who are pushed to the side and treated like the other end up with all of the bad stuff.
Right.
And the people who do have all the stuff look down and they're like, eh, fuck's wrong with them.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
unidentified
Exactly.
dan friesen
It's a pathetic game.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
It's fucking stupid.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's fucking stupid.
And then even, like, we're not even unpacking the idea that Alex seems to just think, I mean, he waffles back and forth in his language, but I think he really only thinks that trans people are people who were born male, who are actually, you know, who are women.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
I don't think he has any idea about the other side of it, women who are men.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Anyway, it's not important.
I just wanted to point that out because it seems absent in the conversation.
It's a real community.
jordan holmes
You're absolutely correct.
dan friesen
It seems totally lost in his, because it seems like, you know how, like, whenever he talks about, like, the cuckolding of Western civilization, it's all just like, oh, you got that from porn.
I think his understanding of the trans community, probably a lot of it might come from porn.
jordan holmes
Well, here's my analysis of it.
And it's pretty simple.
When it comes to guys like Alex, it is ultimately like a fear of, is this lady I'm trying to have sex with actually a dude?
So if it's a woman who identifies as a man and lives her life that way, he's not trying to have sex with her.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
If it's a man who identifies as her.
Yeah, exactly.
If it's a man who identifies as a woman, then he is terrified of the possibility of the people.
dan friesen
Well, so now We take trans issues out of it entirely, and now it just becomes a transactional about sexuality.
Agree.
It becomes a thing where it's like, I can't barter with you.
You are not even.
You have no purchase in my landscape.
jordan holmes
It's the modern gay panic of like, oh no, what if I actually want to fuck a dude?
dan friesen
It's not even modern.
jordan holmes
No, it's the very classic gay panic.
dan friesen
You're right.
That was on that.
That was dealt horribly in that one, what was that, one fucking nip tuck, that show?
I watched one episode about it.
I watched one episode of that show in one episode.
Yeah, it was very terrifying.
unidentified
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
I don't know any of the characters' names on that show.
Don't know any of the plots.
Anyway, let's get through this.
jordan holmes
Let's do it.
alex jones
And then the left covers that up, doesn't want to discuss that because they're using these people just like Hollywood does.
Just like Quentin Tarantino says sex with children isn't a bad thing.
It was consensual.
He defends Roman Polanski because they're pigs.
And they want to lower barriers of families in any definition because now people that have been, you know, pled guilty to raping little eight-year-old, six-year-old girls in Illinois just a few weeks ago said, I identify as a child.
And the court's hooking at it, saying, maybe it's legal.
Can children have sex with each other?
dan friesen
Not at all.
alex jones
And so if you're a 47-year-old man, you know.
dan friesen
The only thing the courts are possibly debating is: do we put him in prison for life or a hospital for life?
Is it a thing where he can be trusted to be in prison?
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Is this going to be a thing where he kills himself the first day in prison?
I don't know about that debate, but whatever.
It's not like courts are debating, huh?
This guy thinks he's a child.
We should let him fuck kids.
No one is having that conversation except Alex.
He's the only person who's having that conversation.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
alex jones
You know, raping a six-year-old girl.
Just say you're a little boy and it's okay.
You see, it's all semantical games.
And then once you let them play games, say you're a woman.
dan friesen
You're going to the women's bathroom.
jordan holmes
Fuck you.
alex jones
I'm not against homosexuals or heterosexuals.
You are.
But using the transformation.
100% for homosexuals is science.
jordan holmes
Fuck you.
alex jones
Homo genius just means.
You're a male, you're with a male.
You're a woman.
You're with a woman.
dan friesen
He's right.
jordan holmes
Fuck you.
dan friesen
No, he's right in terms of the definition of terms.
He's wrong in terms of the interpretation of like, no one's mad about the word homosexual.
You're projecting this onto yourself because it's a safe thing to complain about.
It's fake, but it's safe for you to complain about this because your fucking dumbass listeners in the sticks don't have any idea of what the real conversations people are having are.
jordan holmes
It's infurious.
dan friesen
You'll never have someone on your show, Alex, who actually has a grasp of the issues.
They'll just be more Russian propagandists and what have you.
Anyway, great.
alex jones
It has nothing to do with a judgment, but it becomes this whole idea to make people victims.
And now you must accept every form of trans, including I want to put Drano in my eyes.
I'm blind.
And the National Health Service says, yes, hundreds of people a year, and it's growing to thousands are blinded.
dan friesen
These stats are way off.
alex jones
And the psychologist pours the Drano in lovingly.
It's not abuse.
You're not abusing a mentally ill person.
You're loving them.
And now the state pays and they're blind because they identify as a purple penguin.
jordan holmes
Ah!
Bingo!
Everybody put it up on the board!
dan friesen
Purple Penguin came back.
jordan holmes
There we are.
alex jones
Make this up.
Sounds like a science fiction book.
Who would come up with something like this to convince us to commit suicide?
And I've got the articles I haven't gotten to yet where they say, oh, trans is good in lower population, actually.
Oh, who would have thought of that?
Oh, who would have?
Oh, it's so good.
You can't say you're a mother or father or a boy or girl because that hurts someone.
Your identity is male or female.
You're okay, dump drain on your eyes.
Okay, chop your genitals off.
I'm not paying for it.
jordan holmes
That's hate.
alex jones
And if you capitulate to that level of insanity, you'll capitulate to anything.
jordan holmes
Anything?
alex jones
I am a golden dragon.
Can you imagine a cult movie like that?
I am a beautiful RNA building.
You're a beautiful RNA building.
And that's their whole plan, admitted to end our species as you know it, using these poor people as the victims.
dan friesen
Fuck you.
alex jones
And you've got whole communities of abusers who are heterosexual and homosexual feeding on these desperate mentally ill people and enjoying it.
Let's go out to break.
dan friesen
The whole thing there, the last 16 minutes of audio that we played over whatever fucking time it took was a drastically transphobic rant, wherein he pretends that, eh, I like the people, but they're going to destroy the species.
And they're fucking stupid, and everyone is just enabling them and abusing them.
jordan holmes
And listen, oh boy.
unidentified
God loves gay people, but he hates their lifestyle.
dan friesen
Right, right.
jordan holmes
God loves them.
God.
dan friesen
Boy, we've loved that.
We've heard this fucking line so many times.
It's so sad.
unidentified
Ah!
dan friesen
Now, Jordan, do you want to end this with a smile on your face?
Because I have one more clip that Alex gets into after this.
jordan holmes
How do you.
Okay.
dan friesen
After all of this.
unidentified
All right.
That is just vintage.
jordan holmes
I'm glad he closes strong.
At least that's great.
dan friesen
No, actually, he closes with talking about how Donald Trump is, you know, like I hate him because he wants us to succeed.
jordan holmes
No, no.
dan friesen
He's like a dog.
jordan holmes
Make me smile.
Make me smile, Dan.
I don't want to hear what he has to say.
dan friesen
He's like a dog.
And I say that in a good way.
unidentified
Like one of those dogs that would die trying to bring you water.
dan friesen
What's that?
A St. Bernard?
I say dog in a good way.
jordan holmes
I don't.
Nope.
dan friesen
That's how he closes.
Nope.
But this is how he gets to that close.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
And it is vintage.
Go fuck yourself, Alex Jones.
alex jones
Because here's the thing: I rode a bicycle and I've been around a block.
And I could have had sex with the most beautiful women in Hollywood.
I never did it.
You know why?
Every time they didn't have a soul, I couldn't get attracted to them because it was all fake and all the rest of it.
And let me tell you something.
These people have no souls.
They're not happy unless they're doing bad stuff.
dan friesen
Great.
Great.
jordan holmes
So fucking you is bad stuff?
dan friesen
No, apparently it's not because they would have been thrilled to do that because they have no souls.
So fucking him would be good stuff.
jordan holmes
Wait, so the reason they didn't fuck him was because they don't have souls.
dan friesen
No, that's why he wouldn't fuck them.
jordan holmes
Oh, what?
dan friesen
So I'm Alex Jones.
You're Angelina Jolie.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Hey.
How's it going?
jordan holmes
Pretty good.
You want to have sex?
dan friesen
Ooh, you don't have a soul.
unidentified
Shit.
dan friesen
No, I don't want to have sex with you.
Oh, thanks for offering.
I'm going to talk about this on my radio show in the future.
jordan holmes
Where do I get a soul?
And why wasn't I born with one?
And why don't I have one?
dan friesen
You gave yours out by siding with the global.
jordan holmes
Are souls real?
Like, maybe we should have a larger conversation.
No, it's just sex with you.
Okay, well, then how about you?
dan friesen
Stab, stab, stab.
jordan holmes
How about you go fuck yourself?
dan friesen
Yeah, exactly.
I would say that judging someone as having no soul, especially judging an entire population of people as having no soul, probably indicates more about you than the people you're judging.
Anyway, Alex, go fuck yourself.
jordan holmes
Go fuck yourself, Alex.
dan friesen
What a piece of shit.
So if you want, this is the end of the show.
If you'd like more of our show, we are at knowledgefight.com.
And again, we talked about this hours ago, but there is a great article.
Everyone needs to put that out if they can.
If you are on Facebook or Twitter and you can push this out to more people, it is important that more people understand that Alex Jones is probably committing a crime.
jordan holmes
Dan fucking did some real investigative journalism, and it's incredible.
And I am hiccuping.
unidentified
Oh, boy.
jordan holmes
So there we go.
dan friesen
Do I need to scare you?
jordan holmes
Edit this out.
dan friesen
Do I need to skip this?
jordan holmes
Edit this out.
Edit this whole thing out.
dan friesen
Let me scare you.
jordan holmes
You do the plugs.
I'll not hiccup until I have to tell somebody to go fuck.
dan friesen
Let me scare the hiccups out of you.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
I think Alex Jones is right.
unidentified
No!
dan friesen
You hiccuped in the middle of the day.
I know.
We are on Twitter at KnowledgeUnderscore Fight.
We're on Facebook.
jordan holmes
You can find us on iTunes.
dan friesen
Quebec.
jordan holmes
You can go to knowledgefight.com.
dan friesen
Yes.
And also, just in honor of our good friend John, policy wonk John, I'd like to end the show by playing a little clip for him.
I don't know what level he is in terms of the donations and stuff.
jordan holmes
I do know after his research.
dan friesen
He's a technocrat.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
And so I'd like to give him that honorary designation here at the end of the show.
jordan holmes
Agreed.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
unidentified
Four stars.
alex jones
Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant.
Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop.
Daddy Sharp.
Bomb, Jarjar Binks has a Caribbean black accent.
He's a loser, little, little kitty baby.
I don't want to hate black people.
I renounce Jesus Christ.
dan friesen
Thank you so much, John, for all your help and everything.
You're a great dude.
Agreed.
We are ending this show, but I will say, knowing very little about the man, I'll throw a hat into the ring for someone who can fuck themselves.
I mean, obviously, it should be Alex after this show.
alex jones
Of course.
dan friesen
But it seems implied.
jordan holmes
Let's make it larger.
dan friesen
I would say Jordan Peterson can go fuck himself.
unidentified
Absolutely.
dan friesen
I don't know much about him, but the more I learn about him, the more I think he needs to go fuck himself.
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
Hello, Alex.
dan friesen
I'm a first-time caller.
unidentified
I'm a huge fan.
jordan holmes
I love your work.
alex jones
Love you.
