Today, Dan and Jordan have a little episode for you where they discuss Alex Jones' interview with Jalen Martin, a student from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Alex's actions in the aftermath of this tragedy, as well as after pretty much every tragedy, are pretty formulaic and uninteresting, but this interview manages somehow to transcend in the arena of distastefulness.
The second voice you will hear shortly is my co-host and dear friend Jordan.
This is a podcast where he and I like to sit down, drink some novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
I am coming in with a little introduction for a little Minnesota today.
What we've got for you is an excerpt of the episode that we did on Monday night.
The issue with the rest of the episode, I've decided to sort of chop off a bunch of it because we tried to cover a little bit of Alex Jones' rhetoric vis-a-vis the Parkland shooting, and what it turned into was kind of a repetitive thing.
I didn't feel like at the end of the day when I looked back at it that it added much to the conversation, the larger conversation in the world, and I felt like we were just retreading old territory that we've gone over, over and over and over again.
About how Alex Jones acts in these crises and tragedy situations.
And beyond that, too, we talked a little bit about the situation with YouTube and their quote-unquote strikes that they're applying to Alex's YouTube channel.
And already, I mean, we recorded it on Monday, and now here on Wednesday, that conversation has already evolved to the point where I think we have a different point that we'd like to make.
Which hopefully we'll talk about on our next episode.
From all of that, there was a piece of what we covered that I think is very important, and I think it is relevant in relation to the Parkland shooting.
Suffice it to say, Alex Jones is acting way out of line, and he's pretending that he's the victim, which is very standard for him.
He's throwing around rhetoric about how this is the globalist's main attack, which is something he says every time he feels a little bit cornered and sales have dipped a little bit.
I think that's kind of...
Or he fears...
That's sort of a lot of the stuff that we covered at the beginning of the episode.
But then we talked about a very bizarre incident that happened the day after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
And that was that Alex Jones had one of the students, a gentleman by the name of Jalen Martin, on the show.
And I think that that is something that is worth looking at.
I hope you all enjoy and have a good one.
We'll be back with another episode pretty soon, and boy howdy, there's a whole lot to go over.
Alex Jones' world is falling apart right in front of his eyes.
And it'll be tough to sift through all of it to try and synthesize an episode, but I will do my best.
And he had a gentleman by the name of Jalen Martin on his show.
The internet has gone up in a flutter of people saying that the government needs to protect him because he's going to get killed for the things that he has said.
And then another side of the internet has gone on the attack saying that he's not real or he wasn't a high school student and wasn't at the school.
And I think all of them are pretty crazy.
I was able to find, like, one guy who was making the argument that he's not a high schooler posted a link to this website called CECC Point.
We're now getting reports that other people said that there were shootings on both ends of the building going on.
Now, just like Vegas, it turned out...
The top acoustics experts listened to the audio, and there were multiple shooters, and now they are looking into multiple shooters, and they admit there's been some type of cover-up, and there was this big Saudi Arabian military conference happening that weekend, and Paddock was a gunrunner, and he had gone to the Middle East.
So what he's done already is said, Jalen Martin is our guest, acting like he's going to go to him, and before he does, he sets up...
What he wants to do, and that is he brings up this other narrative of a mass shooting that he's already established as a fake false flag.
But he has no evidence of that.
He's established that, and so he brings that subtly into the conversation while also saying, you got distracted by the baseball aspect of it, but this Houston reporter who was there who talked to that girl who we've already referenced who said that she ran into the shooter on the way out.
So he's already contextualized where he wants this to go.
This is a subtle memory trick.
This is a thing that you can do to try and get people to...
Remember things differently.
It's like what investigators do who are unethical when they're questioning suspects.
So, Alex, in introducing his guest, he has laid out the stuff we've already talked about, and then been like, CNN is going to lie about us, we are victims, we're maligned by everybody, and so is Trump.
Which is, first of all, too long of an introduction.
Well, no, to set up the interview at the beginning, he's referencing this video of a girl saying that she heard shots when she was in the presence of the shooter.
And then he rambles through all this other bullshit about how InfoWars is lied about all the time, and Las Vegas was a false flag, and we know all this information about it that I got from my internet message board, but I pretend I have FBI-level sources.
And then...
To give one further punch, he insinuates that Lee Harvey Oswald and Timothy McVeigh are fake lone wolves who Nicholas Cruz is exactly like.
So he's already implanted very deeply the suggestion that what I want out of you is I want you, who is a student there, to be my prop.
I need someone from the inside who I can throw around with as much credibility as CNN is doing with these kids.
Yeah, you end up with a real, real bottleneck problem, and I don't know exactly, wasn't it like an hour and a half later that they caught him?
What are you going to do?
Again, what are you going to do?
I think that that experience is probably sincere and real, but I also think that the way Alex heard it is probably this teacher is trying to enforce a cover-up of something.
So also, Jalen goes on to say that the Secret Service has...
...had a drill at the school a month prior, and that just doesn't make sense even if you're a conspiracy theorist.
You want the ATF or the DEA or something like that.
You want some other combination of letters, not the Secret Service.
It has nothing to do with this sort of thing.
So the idea that he's coming on and saying that the Secret Service had a drill there a month prior leads me to believe that he got some faulty information about who was doing a drill.
I would believe if it was the Sheriff's Department.
I would believe it if it was SWAT team even or something like that with the terrible world we live in now.
But the Secret Service aspect of this is horseshit.
I even experienced a little bit of that in school, or even in workplaces.
The shelter-in-place kind of drills.
When I worked at Groupon, we had to go hide in a fucking office a couple times as drills for shooter exercises, because they were concerned that someone might be able to come in and shoot up the office.
So just recapping everything and the points you haven't made here, Jalen, because this is, and we've got new video on top of the other videos we're going to play as well.
I talked to a guy who had a class with him, and he said he was just really weird.
He did everything that people told him to do.
It was like he just wanted friends, but it was more like there was obviously mental issues with this guy.
And it was like when he told me that, I kind of thought to myself, okay, this is...
Makes sense in a way, you know?
And it's like, when people are compliant like that, to that degree that he specified, there's so many things that they could do just from someone telling them to do it.
So in that clip, he is, again, asking him to just say that there were multiple shooters.
He doesn't say that, but he goes just far enough that Alex brings him in for a warm verbal hug there at the end with the, you know, oh, so it doesn't all add up.
The official story is a lie and great, just like everything else.
This is Alex Jones, to a T, badgering a child in order to use them as a prop for their propaganda arguments that aren't based in reality, and then you'll see what happens.
Jalen, in your own words, because you got cut off on the last break, you were getting into your friends coming out, people that knew him as well, but I don't want to put words in your mouth, repeat what you were trying to finish, when you talked about people that you talked to saying multiple shooters as well, as we have a lot of witnesses coming forward, more video clips coming up in the next segment of You'll Ride Shotgun with us in a few more minutes, but just briefly, what specifically did your friends and classmates say they thought?
Okay, so they said that after the school was clear and everyone was, you know, mostly gone, and I think one of the people I talked to said they talked to, I can't remember right, So this is third hand, basically.
All right, Jalen, Jalen, I know school's off today, but I know you're busy, and you've gotten in a windy spot, and you're walking around outside.
Let me put you on hold of you.
You can do five more minutes.
I want to come back.
We're going to get you in a spot where it's audible, and we're going to come right back to you.
We appreciate your courage, but I want to get this clear.
I'm having trouble getting the last part.
You're crystal clear, more articulate than I am, and most of my other crew around here, when your phone's clear, it's the phone that is being inarticulate here, so we're going to try to get to a spot where the wind is not blowing in the receiver.
I'm going to get to it next hour.
We put this out on the web from the live show.
We'll put the clips on the front and the back of more people coming forward.
KPRC, KHOU saying, oh yeah, multiple shooters.
You name it.
That's all coming up when we come back.
I've got a plug, though.
We're not going to be here.
The crew keeps pointing that out to me.
We've got 50% off all of the Super Blue fluoride-free toothpaste.
Again, ladies and gentlemen, we have 50% off the super high-quality fluoride-free toothpaste.
And it's fortified with colloidal silver.
It's fortified with high-quality iodine.
And we use one of the top firms in the country that produces some of the top lines of organic toothpaste.
But I can tell you right now that some of the top lines of organic toothpaste have about 50 cents to a dollar worth of product in them.
We put...
Up to $3, depending on the run, because stuff costs different each run, $2 to $3 in each tube, and then when we sell it for $11, $12, that's a good deal.
At $7.47, at 50% off right now, it's basically a loss leader for us, but I want you to see how great it is, and your purchase does help the broadcast, so the Super Blue.
Optics is what I want to say, but this is the game.
This is what he does.
This is it.
It's the day after this shooting.
He has a kid from the school on there, badgers him to try and confirm the multiple shooter narrative that he wants to push, and when he gets close enough, he's like, hey, your phone's too windy, I gotta do a two-minute ad.
He's an illiterate man who also is backed into a weird pill multi-level marketing scheme that he's desperately afraid he's going to lose because he got in bed with some fucking people who were committing treason.
The agreement that we have societally gotten into with entertainment is someone's got to fund this entertainment that we want to watch.
And so we put up with these commercials because they pay for the entertainment and the shows that we want to watch.
In the same way that you've got to watch a little ad before YouTube videos sometimes.
Trailers and commercials at the movies.
It's just the agreed-upon situation.
Alex breaks this social contract by doing commercials in the middle of the show, and he does it so brazenly with the, like, I'm going to do something, I'm going to get some moment of intensity, and then I'm going to fucking throw it to the commercial, because I know I've put you in a suggestible state.
