Speaker Time Text
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
I'm a first-time caller.
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
alex jones
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple dudes like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
That is what we do.
Dan, if you are going to try and sell this podcast to somebody who has never heard it before, or perhaps has heard very similar podcasts.
dan friesen
I would say I know a lot about Alex Jones and my co-host.
jordan holmes
I don't know anything about Alex Jones.
dan friesen
Today, Jordan, we got a lot of fun.
We got a lot of fun in front of us.
jordan holmes
That's good, because I'm loopy as fuck.
dan friesen
You've been at work all day.
jordan holmes
I've been working for 10 hours, man, staring at a computer, replying to emails from dumb people.
dan friesen
That is not a fun time, but this will be.
I guarantee it.
This is going to be a delightful blast.
Let's do it.
I have a number of things I want to say.
First of all, I'd like to give a big shout-out to listener Keegan.
I believe he's a technocrat at this point, but he is a listener.
He was in town over the St. Patrick's Day weekend, and it was very nice to meet him.
Always a great time.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I'm so sorry, Keegan.
This isn't why I brought it up.
I'm so sorry.
I'm just sorry.
I couldn't make it!
I feel like a piece of shit because I had to work and I didn't have a show and I know you wanted to see me, which baffles my mind.
dan friesen
This is not why I brought this up.
jordan holmes
Oh, not to make me feel guilt?
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
Over all-encompassing guilt?
dan friesen
No, I brought it up because it was also his birthday and his one thing he wanted was to meet Jordan.
jordan holmes
God damn it!
dan friesen
No.
He donated on a time travel level a while back, and one of the things he wanted was a drunk Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
And it turns out that I am able to, even though we already did another episode for him, I am able to, since he was in town this weekend, honor him with this episode that we're going to be doing today.
But first, I have to honor all of our listeners.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I haven't even taken a sip of the wine and I'm already grandiose as shit.
jordan holmes
I know.
unidentified
I know.
jordan holmes
I see it.
I feel it.
I feel it coming from you.
dan friesen
So I told you on the last episode that on this episode we would begin the March Madness bracket.
jordan holmes
That's true!
dan friesen
Of Alex Jones drops.
unidentified
All right.
jordan holmes
Here we go.
dan friesen
So today what we're going to do, because we have a lot in front of us and I didn't want to overwhelm you after your long day at work, I decided that we would have one teaser matchup today.
Okay.
We will be putting out on Wednesday.
We'll have a bunch more.
But I don't want to overwhelm everybody right off the top, too.
I don't want to give you all the matchups.
jordan holmes
You teasing bitch.
dan friesen
So today we are going to be looking at one matchup from one of the quadrants.
There's 16 seeds.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Four divisions.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
One of the divisions that we will be looking at today, one matchup from that, is the guests division.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Wow.
dan friesen
Four of these drops.
jordan holmes
You have clearly put a lot of thought into this, and I am delighted by it.
And also, man, we've got to get you out of the house.
dan friesen
Four of these drops are from people who are not Alex Jones.
The other 12 will be Alex Jones drops of different varieties.
jordan holmes
All right, so the number one seed has got to be go home and tell your mother.
dan friesen
You would think that, but the selection committee sat down and thought this over long and hard.
jordan holmes
Which committee was that?
dan friesen
It's sort of like the people who like the Pope.
It's very secretive.
jordan holmes
Okay, all right, all right, all right.
dan friesen
So the selection committee...
jordan holmes
It's sort of like the people who like the Pope?
dan friesen
Yeah, exactly.
jordan holmes
Not the people who choose the Pope.
Just the general people who are like...
dan friesen
Who click like on Facebook for the Pope.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I feel good about the Pope right now.
dan friesen
So we are looking at the number one seed versus the number four seed in the guest division.
And revealing first, the number four seed is Daryl Hamamoto's gayest instrument.
jordan holmes
There you go.
darrell hamamoto
I said, what would be the gayest instrument in my collection that I could take to this event?
It was my pink Esquire, my pudenda pink Esquire.
dan friesen
Crazy.
jordan holmes
There you go.
That's bananas.
dan friesen
Absolutely lunatic man.
jordan holmes
So number one seed is the gayest instrument.
dan friesen
No, that's number four.
jordan holmes
That's number four.
dan friesen
That's the number four seed going up against the number one seed, which you accurately predicted is Steve Pachenik, and it's from that episode.
jordan holmes
But it's not...
dan friesen
It's not go home and tell your mother you're brilliant.
It's Alex Jones getting a manners lesson from Steve Pachenik.
alex jones
We have all these crises we're facing, and I got four children.
Pissed off at the globalists.
I'm pissed off at the political class.
I'm tired of their crap.
They all need to go to prison.
So there's fear in these people.
I'm sick of them.
Dr. Pacinic, what do you make of the intel I just dumped on you?
I know you have a lot of your own sources, but what do you make of that?
steve pieczenik
First of all, I thought you were going to call me up to see how I was because I had been in the middle of a major storm which was not created by globalists.
unidentified
Or the CIA.
And trees have been coming down.
jordan holmes
Power lines have been coming down.
So, Alex, I want you to come back.
alex jones
I did call.
I mean, you were on yesterday.
We thank you for calling.
unidentified
We hope you're doing great.
jordan holmes
You can ask, how am I doing?
unidentified
Great.
dan friesen
I love it so much.
jordan holmes
It's the gayest instrument for against...
You could ask how I'm doing.
dan friesen
Yeah, exactly.
I think that the selection committee, what they saw in that clip over the go-home-and-tell-your-mother is the transition from Alex screaming about the globalists to Steve Pachenik being like, hey, come on, man.
I'm a person.
I'm in the middle of a hurricane.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that one's got my vote.
dan friesen
It's a tough road for Hamamoto to get out of the first round in this one.
jordan holmes
It's the Steve Pachenik turning into your mom that I love so much.
dan friesen
So, as I post this episode this evening, you know, if this episode is out, there will be a poll that'll last, I guess, I don't know, maybe 24 hours?
I haven't decided yet.
jordan holmes
Who knows?
dan friesen
In our Facebook group, go home and tell your mother you're brilliant.
Also, Steve Pechenik reference.
jordan holmes
There you go.
dan friesen
And you guys can vote and see what makes it to the second round.
Very exciting.
jordan holmes
Frankly, it should be disqualified.
Go home and tell your mother you're brilliant?
I feel like that would be...
Too on the nose.
unidentified
Well, right.
dan friesen
It would be like us having Andy in Kansas as one of the drops.
unidentified
Exactly.
dan friesen
We can't do that.
We can't do that.
Yeah, it would be cannibalistic.
Right.
So, Jordan, I mentioned earlier.
Oh, have fun voting.
That's my wish for you all.
jordan holmes
Yeah, there we go.
dan friesen
I mentioned earlier that, you know, this episode is...
jordan holmes
Gonna be Drunk Alex Jones for Keegan.
dan friesen
Indeed.
And actually, what we...
I had a very nice time meeting with Keegan, although, unfortunately, I drank a green beer because we were at a bar, and before I knew it, my...
My tongue had turned green.
Then I had to walk home with my hand over my mouth.
Right.
jordan holmes
Because generally speaking, you walk home with your tongue hanging out of your mouth so everyone can see it.
dan friesen
Like a cartoon animal.
I just didn't want to blend in with the rabble rousers and pass out on the street drunks at 11 in the morning or whatever on St. Patrick's Day here in Chicago.
jordan holmes
Shout out to Chicago.
dan friesen
Yeah, exactly.
It's a great place.
But I felt very bad that I couldn't, in the past, fulfill this birthday wish of a drunk Alex on St. Patrick's Day.
And I was like, this year, St. Patrick's Day, I mean, I guess every year you celebrate it on Saturday, and Alex doesn't have a show on Saturday.
So I watched Friday, and I'm like, maybe he's going to get the booze going early.
Nope, didn't.
He was just terrible.
He just had a bunch of people on to talk about how they're all being censored and all this nonsense.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Then?
jordan holmes
That way he doesn't have to talk about his own lawsuits.
He can kind of spiral in and be like, yeah, you're being censored?
I mean, obviously you know I'm being censored.
dan friesen
Steve Crowder, you and I are in the same boat.
Oh, Leanne McAdoo, you're getting sued for the thing that I encouraged you to do.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Let's talk about how so much it sucks.
jordan holmes
Also, thank you so much for not suing me for the things that I did to Ashley Beckford that I'm almost certainly done to you as well.
dan friesen
Thanks for not vouching for her.
Yeah.
So, as luck would have it, God smiled down upon us.
Alex, for reasons unknown, decided to go into the studio and do a special report on Saturday.
jordan holmes
That can't be real.
dan friesen
And I have almost no doubt that he's drunk.
And here is a Out of Context drop from that episode.
alex jones
I can't do this anymore.
dan friesen
That should give you a little bit of the flavor of things to come.
jordan holmes
Alright, this is happening.
dan friesen
So the episode is titled Hillary About to be Indicted by...
I don't remember what the precise title was here.
I need to get it because it's inappropriate if I don't give you the precise title.
Because it's just that...
It's important.
This is a salacious-ass title.
Here it is.
Special report.
Trump set to indict Hillary.
jordan holmes
We're already off to a lie.
dan friesen
Yeah, and it's specifically about the McCabe.
Andrew McCabe being fired is going to lead to Hillary's indictment.
jordan holmes
Gotcha.
dan friesen
And so we'll see how much he talks about that.
unidentified
Boy, it seems like it's going to be the not that.
dan friesen
I don't know what to expect anymore, but...
I do know that this episode starts with 20 seconds of silence and Alex Jones looking off in honor of McCabe.
Indeed.
He's just looking off into the middle distance for 20 seconds and then he says this.
alex jones
You hear that silence?
That's the silence of all the tyrants in history who thought they were invincible.
And thought that their people wouldn't wake up to what they were doing.
Who ended up getting shoveled into their graves.
You know, I became a student of history when I was about 6, 7 years old.
Because I started reading time-life book encyclopedias around the house about World War II.
jordan holmes
Not the same thing.
alex jones
World War I, the Old West, things like that.
And by the time I was 10, 11, I was reading college-level textbooks on history.
Books written by Julius Caesar and Adolf Hitler.
I remember when I'd be a little bit older, 12, 13, buying books like that at the bookstore, they'd say, Son, you're buying a book on Nazi Germany.
You're not a Nazi, are you?
jordan holmes
Yes.
alex jones
And that's when I knew how ignorant the general public was.
If you buy a book...
jordan holmes
That's not a no.
alex jones
Rise and fall of Third Reich.
Scheer's Lord of the Death said, Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf, my struggle, you must be for Hitler.
Well, I...
jordan holmes
Kind of?
alex jones
...were to not even respond and say, well, I've read books by Winston Churchill, three-volume set, History of the English-speaking People.
jordan holmes
Also not a good guy.
alex jones
Doesn't mean I'm an Anglophile or an agent of the British crown, which is really a Transylvanian crown flying under a German crown of the Saxe-Coburg Gothas of the formerly established and now defunct Austrian-Hungarian empire that was dethroned during World War.
Wow, that's a drunk man.
dan friesen
Yeah, just rattling off words.
jordan holmes
Actually, you don't know.
So, I'm not a Nazi, because you don't even know.
Where the English crown comes from.
It comes from Transylvania.
Dracula is actually English.
I don't know if you know that or not.
Who says I'm a Nazi?
I am a vampire!
dan friesen
I would suggest that these people at the bookstore were more like, are you old enough to be reading this?
unidentified
This is some pretty heavy stuff.
dan friesen
The Lords of the Death's Head.
The Order of the Death Side, which isn't...
jordan holmes
Never too old to hate the Jews, Dan.
That's the one thing I've learned from this podcast.
dan friesen
Yeah, he gets the authors wrong there, too, and he's referencing those books.
But I want to talk a little bit about his claims about the British crown.
Because there's some problems.
A little bit of problems with the historical...
The idea that it's a Transylvanian crown...
jordan holmes
Well, it turns into a bat.
dan friesen
No, it doesn't.
It doesn't do that.
I can affirm that the Crown does not.
jordan holmes
I don't know if you can.
dan friesen
That you're thinking of the game DuckTales.
jordan holmes
You haven't been to the Tower of London, my friend.
dan friesen
That's a fair point.
So Queen Elizabeth II is currently the holder of the Crown of England.
jordan holmes
I saw the crown jewels.
unidentified
Okay.
jordan holmes
Not that good.
dan friesen
Didn't turn into a bat, did it?
jordan holmes
Not that good.
Well, they were behind glass.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
And there were people watching.
unidentified
And you know you can't turn into a bat while people are watching.
No.
dan friesen
It has to be in contact with air.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
So she's the Queen Elizabeth II current holder of the crown.
Before her, her father George VI was king.
Before that, his brother Edward VIII was king for under a year and had to abdicate because he wanted to marry a lady who'd been divorced twice and the court deemed her unfit to be the consort.
Right.
jordan holmes
Which we've covered.
How stupid that is.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
Before that, his father, George V, was king, and his reign takes us all the way back to 1910, which is before World War I. Right.
Now, this is interesting because...
jordan holmes
When Dracula was king.
dan friesen
Yes.
Yes.
I promise everything is going to come full circle to Vlad the Impaler, and Alex is going to look very stupid.
Because people were not really enjoying the Germans in the mid-1910s, George V changed the name of his branch of his house from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the House of Windsor in 1917.
This is a wise decision that he made about three years into World War I, perhaps the most grisly war of all time that most people blame the Germans for.
jordan holmes
Probably their fault.
dan friesen
The Belgian wing of the house decided to be...
jordan holmes
Or arms dealers, depending on how you feel about the rich.
dan friesen
Perhaps.
The Belgian wing of the house changed their name a few years later for exactly the same reason.
The stink of Germany was upon the house of...
Saxe, Coburg, and Gotha, and they wanted that appearance to be as moot as possible.
jordan holmes
I heard the law firm changed its name as well, from Saxe, Coburg, and Gotha to, uh, alright, never mind.
dan friesen
So, the thing is, like, yes, it does have German roots.
jordan holmes
To Steinbart.
unidentified
Alright.
dan friesen
Alright.
Calm down.
You, ten hours in front of the screen, you're punchy as hell.
jordan holmes
I'm fucking loopy, man.
dan friesen
The House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha does have Germanic roots, as does every house.
Because...
There were a bunch of, like, Germany didn't exist as a nation state until 1871.
There were just a bunch of regional ruling families, and some of them interlocked, and some of them created larger houses to solidify and increase their power.
jordan holmes
Well, one of the issues that the Crown family has always kind of avoided is the fact that...
They're related to just about every other crown family in Europe.
dan friesen
Not everyone, but a lot of them.
jordan holmes
But a lot of them.
Yeah, a lot of them.
dan friesen
But that's only because of intermarriage and the fact that the lines go back hundreds of years.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
You're going to find that between tons and tons of people.
It just so happens that they had really strategic and selective marriages in order to consolidate power and keep the money within families.
So, here's the thing.
The Saxe in the title, S-A-X-E, and the name is a reference to Saxony, the state in modern Eastern Germany, which in medieval times ruled the Isles that would become the UK along with the Angles, which is where the term Anglo-Saxon derives from.
jordan holmes
That's also where the Black Knight comes from in medieval times.
dan friesen
Exactly.
The Angles and Saxons were both Germanic tribes who went north and collectively founded the Kingdom of England in the mid to early 900s.
When Queen Victoria died in 1901, the crown passed to her eldest son, Edward VII, who was a member of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, through his father, Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert.
As such, the ruling lineage went from the, it was patriarchally.
which is a Scottish line, died without an heir, and they picked her second cousin, George, to take over.
So Alex saying it has a Germanic root, obviously it does, but that means nothing.
He brings in the Habsburg Empire, which is just such a distraction on his part.
Such nonsense.
That's just another name for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was defeated and scattered into many pieces at the end of World War I in 1919.
Many Habsburg monarchs were concurrently Holy Roman Emperor, which Alex could be confusing, but that really doesn't mean anything.
It's not the same thing.
jordan holmes
You might as well bring in Persia.
dan friesen
Exactly.
The House of Habsburg is also a completely different thing, if he was trying to talk about that instead of just the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The House of Habsburg became extinct and dissolved on November 29, 1780.
The junior Austrian branch of the house extended as the House of Habsburg-Lorraine, but this too dissolved in 1918 and did not dissolve because it was secretly a part of the House of Windsor.
jordan holmes
Are you sure?
dan friesen
I am positive.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Also, the concept...
Interception that this empire got defeated in World War I and then wanted to become, like, it was like they tried to resurge in World War II through Hitler is nonsense because Hitler expressed that he hated the Habsburg identity.
Yeah.
And he was a harsh German nationalist.
jordan holmes
Kind of a big deal for him.
dan friesen
He claimed that he did not want to fight in the Austro-Hungarian Habsburg army because there was a mix of races in it.
jordan holmes
You could call him...
You could call that his struggle.
dan friesen
Indeed.
That was a comp.
So, I apologize.
This is a whole lot of information.
jordan holmes
You know what's fun about all of that is that there was a time in my life where I knew that and had memorized those facts.
And then I became a person who was like, oh, these people should all just be dead.
And I stopped caring.
dan friesen
That's a fair assumption on a lot of people's parts.
A lot of the confusion comes down to Queen Victoria, and we'll get to that in a second.
jordan holmes
That's mainly because she fucked.
dan friesen
She did.
Well, there's a lot of progeny, and a lot of people ended up scattering from there.
Yeah.
So Transylvania, as you know, because you're not an idiot.
jordan holmes
Right, T-Pain's.
dan friesen
Is a region in central Romania.
jordan holmes
That's where T-Pain took his name.
dan friesen
Indeed, yep.
And Austro-tuning was created there.
It's where you sing and it makes you sound German.
jordan holmes
Can we just end the podcast after that?
That's the best joke you've ever made.
I think we're done now.
dan friesen
So in the 16th century, Transylvania was absorbed by the Habsburg Empire and the rulers adopted the title Prince of Transylvania as part of the royal list of acclaims until the Austro-Hungarian Empire dissolved in 1918.
In the same way that Daenerys Targaryen goes around and creates like a Queen of the Unsullied, the Unburnt.
Whenever things happen, she adds things to her royal title.
jordan holmes
When you're getting a title, you just keep adding titles and shit.
dan friesen
It's really fun.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And so whenever it was absorbed, the title Prince of Transylvania ended up becoming part of a moniker that got handed down until the Austro-Hungarian Empire dissolved.
And that doesn't necessarily mean there's a genetic connection or even a passing down of a crown.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Because there wasn't really even a crown in Transylvania.
jordan holmes
There wasn't even really a nation.
dan friesen
So now where does this come from?
I'll tell you.
I'm gonna go with Bullshit in 2011 Prince Charles said in an interview that he was a descendant of Vlad the Impaler which started the rumor mills running that He should be named King of Romania, which experts viewed as a preposterous idea
Now, it could also be because Prince Charles is a lunatic.
He's pretty crazy.
jordan holmes
Who is fucking stupid.
And I kind of love him.
He's a horrible racist monster who owns way too much shit.
And I hope he gets hit by a lorry.
dan friesen
And a summer house in Romania.
jordan holmes
But yeah, I mean, fuck that guy.
But he's kind of hilarious.
dan friesen
So also the confusion comes from the fact that the last king of Romania, King Michael, was the great-great-grandson of Queen Victoria, which makes him third cousins with Queen Elizabeth.
But because of colonialism and the way that people would just like, you know, I'm a prince of England, I'm going to marry a princess in Russia, or something like that.
You just have these weird connections that would end up happening.
You can find, like, if you just...
Dig deep enough, you can find connections all over the place.
jordan holmes
Yeah, they're related to fucking everybody.
dan friesen
The current king of Spain is the great-great-great-grandson of Queen Victoria and also the great-great-great-great-grandson of Otto, the first king of Greece.
The first modern king of Greece.
jordan holmes
You know what's crazy?
dan friesen
I mean, what are you going to do?
jordan holmes
Every time, and I hear it so many times, every time I hear Spain has a king, I'm like, nah.
That can't be real.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And it is!
Spain has a king!
dan friesen
But so does England.
Yeah, I know, I know.
They're functional monarchs.
jordan holmes
No, I understand.
They're dumb and imaginary, but I'm still like, really?
dan friesen
That's the bigger thing, is it's all just for show and fun.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
The other thing, too, is we could go with...
That lady who was on Suits, who's marrying one of the princes, is now the great-great-great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
So we could do that, or her child will be the great-great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter or son of Queen Victoria.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
And that's why she will become King of Spain.
dan friesen
Exactly.
And she's the descendant of Vlad the Impaler.
You could play this game all day long, but what it really comes down to is a stray interview that Prince Charles had, and the fact that when Transylvania was absorbed...
As a region by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Prince of Transylvania title, became part of the moniker.
Anyway, that's fucking exhausting.
Way too much information.
The rest of the clips won't have nearly as much information.
I promise you.
So we're not going to...
jordan holmes
Constantly be getting into biblical lineages at this point?
dan friesen
Prince Victoria begat.
jordan holmes
I'm about to wonder.
dan friesen
I know.
I'm sorry.
jordan holmes
I swear to God, I think Alex, based on this information, is also going to claim that he is King Leonidas and he was one of the 300 fighting against British tyranny or whatever it is he thinks is real.
dan friesen
Possible.
jordan holmes
He's a fucking lunatic.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So let's get into this next clip where he gets even crazier.
alex jones
You see, I learned that there are a lot of lazy people.
jordan holmes
That's a great start.
alex jones
That wanted to act like they knew about history and knowledge.
jordan holmes
Like you, Dan.
alex jones
But didn't actually have the knowledge.
dan friesen
Damn.
jordan holmes
Race memory?
alex jones
And that's why in 2018, without even wanting it, without even seeking it, I have a sickening amount of power.
jordan holmes
Is he going to burp after that one?
alex jones
That scares the Soros crowd and the globalists to death.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
So, this is already, I mean, we're sort of linguistically off to the races in terms of like, oh boy, oh no.
The way you're pacing your speech, I'm terrified.
I'm terrified.
jordan holmes
This is very much about Hillary Clinton being indicted, right?
dan friesen
Oh, it's supposed to be.
jordan holmes
We're already right into it.
We're digging into the reasons that she's going to be indicted.
You know what my theory is on why conservatives like Fox News and Alex Jones and all those idiots keep talking about Hillary?
It's because the campaign was so good for them.
They were like, oh, we get to ride this out, and our guy is imaginary right now, so we don't have to deal with what a piece of shit he is.
And now he's president, and they're like...
Oh, shit.
We hate him, too.
dan friesen
I think there's a part of that.
jordan holmes
But we can't say that.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So we're going to keep ragging on Hillary because it reminds us of the good times.
dan friesen
Well, it's like when you're a loser in adulthood, but you were a star quarterback and you flash back to your glory days.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
It's that same sort of mentality.
It's like you don't want to wrestle with the fact that you didn't live up to your potential right now.
jordan holmes
And now you work at your dad's dealership.
dan friesen
Exactly.
jordan holmes
Which is the metaphor for Trump.
He works at his dad's used car dealership.
dan friesen
When he was out there throwing bombs, just downfield.
So anyway, in this next clip, I don't know if we need to unpack Alex Jones' idea that he's super powerful, but I think what he's saying is that he's super powerful because he's smart.
Because he has knowledge that other people don't have, like the fact that Dracula gave birth to Prince Charles in a roundabout way.
jordan holmes
He who controls the past controls Dracula.
dan friesen
Exactly.
So now we get into how, in this next clip, the lawsuits against Alex are fake.
And then it spirals out of control into him realizing it's St. Patrick's Day, and then he says some other stupid shit about history.
jordan holmes
Of course.
alex jones
And you know, they got this big fake lawsuit against me that's 70 pages long, 90% of it's fiction.
jordan holmes
The problem is the 10%.
alex jones
I'm commanding Congress, the president, because they've connected these dots.
dan friesen
Uh-oh.
You know what that means.
alex jones
But the truth in it is, is the spirit of renaissance and American reawakening is commanding us all.
But as shuttered individuals who aren't open to the universe, they don't even get that.
dan friesen
That means nothing.
alex jones
So that said, I'm up here on Saturday night on St. Patty's Day.
I'm out wearing green even though I'm part Irish.
My daughter's even more Irish because her mommy's part half Irish.
What's the other half?
dan friesen
That's really weird.
jordan holmes
That's a really weird thing to say.
dan friesen
Anyway.
alex jones
I'm out wearing green.
I actually looked for a green shirt earlier.
Where are my green shirts?
I don't know, but the point is...
dan friesen
I love that.
I'm not trying to patronize to you by wearing a green shirt.
Actually, I tried to wear a green shirt.
Couldn't find one.
jordan holmes
I wish I could, but...
dan friesen
I would have patronized to you.
jordan holmes
I'm making up a reason so you guys don't know that I couldn't find my green shirt.
But then I just told you.
dan friesen
I got some whiskey in me.
Spirit got good.
I called Rob Do and showed up over here.
We're working on a schedule.
alex jones
If you look what the Irish went through and everybody else has gone through under Imperial Britain, it's not a British conspiracy we face.
It's corrupt elites that conquered powerful Brittany that used the power of those tribes and people and was left with the Roman technologies of control to project power into the world, combining forces with the black nobility of the Venetians to set up the modern anti-human System we now face.
dan friesen
Oh boy.
jordan holmes
Follow the money.
Back to the Venetians.
dan friesen
Yeah, so Venice was a very early, very prosperous society because they had a very strategic place as a port.
And then as Genoa came to prominence, it sort of fell apart, you know, because there were other options.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
They didn't have a stranglehold, Ted Nugent, on the sea commerce.
And what have you.
jordan holmes
That's a really interesting period whenever those guys start going crazy at each other.
All of those tiny little city states in Italy going nuts along with, you know, where does the Pope come from?
Which, like, one of these tiny little city states gets the Pope and then they all go fucking fight each other about the Pope.
And then you got three Popes going on.
You got the Borges coming in.
dan friesen
Counter-counter-Popes.
jordan holmes
Bananas.
Bananas.
I loved it.
dan friesen
It's nuts.
Yeah, and Italy's history as a unified entity is not that old.
unidentified
And it's still kind of not great.
dan friesen
I mean, if you really look at it, it wasn't even a republic until 1946.
So that's as recent as a sort of democratic existing Italy is, because it was under fascist rule before that and kings before that.
jordan holmes
Right.
Well, I mean, in 1946, Berlusconi had his first Bunga Bunga party, so that's why they celebrated by becoming a republic.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Berlusconi fucked everybody in Italy, and they became a republic.
dan friesen
And because he fucked everybody, and he is a descendant of Dracula, everyone in Italy is now...
jordan holmes
Everyone's a vampire!
dan friesen
Exactly.
So, black nobility...
jordan holmes
You heard it here first.
dan friesen
Black nobility.
jordan holmes
Italy is all vampires.
dan friesen
Black nobility is just a term that's used to describe Italian, and Italian's the wrong term because of the time period, but in the area of Italy, aristocratic families who sided with the Pope when the Kingdom of Italy came into Rome and overthrew Pope Pius IX in 1870.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
That's what the black nobility was.
It was people who sided with the papacy over the state of the kingdom.
jordan holmes
And why did they do that?
Because Pope Pius was a piece of shit.
He was fucking garbage.
Who was exactly the kind of thing that Alex Jones is super against, who was corrupt and who was monstrous and who was apparently just...
Trying in Alex Jones' parlance to destroy the...
dan friesen
Sovereignty?
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
So what I'm more interested in is most of the research I was able to do into the idea of the black nobility and what have you leads back to a bunch of theories about how the Venetian oligarchs, the black nobility, who ended up becoming the black nobility, were comprised of Khazars.
Are you aware of the Khazars?
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
It's a name that's applied to a semi-nomadic group from Turkic descent.
jordan holmes
Yeah, isn't that related to the Cossacks?
dan friesen
I don't know.
I don't think so.
I don't think it's specifically.
But the reason that this is interesting is that there's a little theory that's popped up over the years that's very popular in anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist circles.
jordan holmes
God damn it!
dan friesen
But slightly less popular in academic ones that the Khazar bloodline, or in this case, if you make a one-to-one comparison, the black nobility, the Venetian oligarchs, that bloodline is responsible for the ethnogenesis of Ashkenazi Jews.
Yeah.
It's not very real.
But I do think that it's possible that that's one of the reasons why Alex is sort of compelled towards these ideas.
Because you get into the idea of the black nobility as a historical entity.
It did exist, but also it wasn't some grand conspiracy that still lingers to this day.
jordan holmes
It was maligned.
dan friesen
I think that is the case in a lot of conspiracy theory where, like, bad things are still malign.
jordan holmes
Right, exactly.
dan friesen
But at the same time, you get these ideas of, like, a black pope and all this, like, these evil extra Vatican entities that still linger to this day.
And what it comes back to is a lot of this Khazar idea.
And it's a much bigger thing than I have time to unpack right now.
jordan holmes
Do you think we'll ever have a black pope?
Like, not a black pope, but I mean like a black pope.
dan friesen
Of African descent?
jordan holmes
Like, could Obama become pope?
dan friesen
I don't think so.
He's not Catholic.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
That's going to be the first problem.
jordan holmes
That is an issue.
That is an issue.
dan friesen
I don't know.
They could expedite that, though.
I think eventually we may get there, but who knows?
The world probably doesn't have enough time.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
So anyway, suffice it to say that I believe that Alex Jones is bringing in the black nobility in Venice is probably a dog whistle to anti-Semitic ideas about the roots of Ashkenazi Jews.
jordan holmes
Naturally.
dan friesen
But be that as it may, Alex, in this next clip...
jordan holmes
That's what happens when you read Mein Kampf at 11 and insist you're not a Nazi.
All of a sudden, everything you believe goes back to anti-Semitism.
dan friesen
That he gets of the Rothschild family is almost exclusively from Nazi propaganda films.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
And then there was another thing today I was going over.
I was looking at the Friday episode because I was going to initially go over Friday on today's episode, but it did not end up making the cut.
His big narrative on Friday is that This church in Australia is not allowed to say Jesus in a banner that they put up.
jordan holmes
Boy, that's a great narrative that really covers the big issues of our time.
dan friesen
Well, he's saying that the globalists are making their move on Jesus.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And he's taking this...
He's taking this from a Daily Mail article.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
And I went and looked at the Daily Mail article.
I'm going to read you from it here.
Pastor Duffy claimed Lendlease, that's the name of the mall, or the company that owns the mall, requested to withdraw the word Jesus from the sign as it may have offended shoppers and non-Christians.
Pastor Duffy said Lendlease has since changed their mind and allowed the word Jesus to be included in the sign.
In a statement, the Lendlease spokeswoman said that they regretted asking for the sign to be amended.
Quote, it was an error of judgment to ask Elam Church to...
We change its messaging and we apologize unreservedly.
That's in the actual article that Alex is reporting.
So, like, I don't trust him to do anything.
I don't trust him to know about history based on his inability to read an article.
jordan holmes
It was in, like, the third paragraph.
You can't expect anybody to read all the way to the third paragraph.
dan friesen
Come on, man.
That takes too much time.
jordan holmes
Forever.
dan friesen
Too much time.
unidentified
He's too busy reading a better history book.
dan friesen
If that's his reading comprehension at 44, I don't fucking want to know what it was at 6. I don't want to know how able he was to parse the language of a monstrous future dictator and his anti-Semitic vision of the world as a 6-year-old or even as a 10-year-old.
I don't want to fucking know.
He can't do it.
He can't do it now.
jordan holmes
That's not good.
dan friesen
Anyway, he has a job.
And he describes that job in this next clip.
And then he says some other...
jordan holmes
Is this when Hillary is about to be indicted?
Is this when we explain...
dan friesen
He might get to that.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
He doesn't.
alex jones
And so I'm here trying to explain to people how this stuff really works from their own admissions.
And they think you're such fools that they'll just tell you it doesn't exist, don't look at it, and you won't.
And the globalists have told me, Alex, they'll never listen to you.
dan friesen
They haven't.
alex jones
I think you're unhappy.
Barry, is to simply warn all of you that the decision is being made about your future.
unidentified
Nope.
And that...
alex jones
The globalists are out of control and they're very, very bad people.
Andrew McCabe, the deputy director of the FBI, and Ray.
dan friesen
He does bring it up.
alex jones
They have the FBI.
The way the media acts, the control corporate media, they're our presidents.
jordan holmes
Sure.
alex jones
They're just political hacks put in power by Bush Sr. and Bush and Obama and the Clintons.
dan friesen
What?
alex jones
And they covered up all the crimes.
The communist Chinese takeover of America.
jordan holmes
They covered that up?
alex jones
The deindustrialization.
The conquering of the country.
Okay.
unidentified
But...
jordan holmes
What else he got?
alex jones
Two minutes to midnight.
When America...
jordan holmes
That's when the St. Patrick's Day ball drops.
alex jones
...was being taken up to the gallows to be hung from the neck until dead.
Before that switch got kicked.
And the floor opened up and we died as a country forever.
Providence showed its face again.
dan friesen
But that long pause and then the face again.
That to me is just, oh boy.
I don't know what time he recorded this at, but no time makes sense.
You know what I'm saying?
jordan holmes
If you think...
Well, and I think that's the only way you can say it.
Like, if you think Trump is the face of Providence...
Trump's got a shitty fucking face, so you gotta be like, he's the face of Providence.
dan friesen
We did not enjoy that it came in this form.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no.
dan friesen
Look, dude, it's just all bad.
jordan holmes
It's all bad.
dan friesen
But at least he brought up McCabe in that clip.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
For a passing second.
But then it was only to sort of trigger into the media personalities, our presidents.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
And they were put in place in order to lie to us about the Chinese takeover.
unidentified
Sounds right.
dan friesen
Also, one of his big narratives that he's pushing right now is that Apple has moved all of the cloud keys to China.
jordan holmes
Which we've discussed before.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
If you look into the story, they just have moved the Chinese keys to the...
The Chinese government has access to it.
We don't feel great about that.
jordan holmes
No, that's bad.
dan friesen
It's not the entire world.
jordan holmes
The Chinese government should not have access to much right now.
dan friesen
If Alex wants to say that the Chinese government has a real bad history, on board.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
On board.
unidentified
No, no, no.
jordan holmes
I'm with you there.
dan friesen
The rest, not great.
jordan holmes
I think that's the biggest reason why capitalism really needs to be regulated.
Because Apple has that opportunity to be like, no.
Like, realistically, Apple is capable of being stronger than the Chinese government.
Like, that's a real thing.
They have more economic power than the Chinese government, realistically.
Probably.
They could just say, nah, go fuck yourselves, and then China would become...
Essentially, North Korea.
They would have to develop all of this shit on their own.
dan friesen
But they probably would.
They'd probably be successful in doing so.
jordan holmes
They would be capable of doing so, but then they wouldn't be connected to the rest of the world.
Then they would become a much more isolated place.
Most likely, yeah.
And you start to see an isolated place like that, and it starts to collapse, especially when it's the size of China.
That's one of the big things about their control, is that if they are connected to the outside world...
Then they can control a much larger area of space.
If North Korea was as large as China, it would have collapsed a million years ago.
You can't be a dictator over that much.
Unless...
dan friesen
Without an amended version of a dictatorship.
jordan holmes
Without the tacit approval of everybody else based on your economic strength.
dan friesen
Right, and that's what it comes down to.
Alex always wants to say that everyone's complicit with the Chinese government.
To a certain extent, I don't...
Totally disagree?
jordan holmes
No, absolutely.
dan friesen
But the other piece of it that goes beyond the complicit part of that economic picture that you're drawing is that a war would be ridiculous.
Exactly.
That would be absurd.
jordan holmes
No, of course.
dan friesen
And that would be the only way to deal with the actual human rights terrible record that exists within China.
jordan holmes
Or imagine if...
Global corporations actually, because they really could at this point, if global corporations wanted to enact their own sanctions, there's nothing anybody could do about it.
dan friesen
That's interesting.
jordan holmes
There's nothing anybody could do about it.
dan friesen
I would argue that what you just said is a refutation of the idea of globalists.
jordan holmes
No!
Well, yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
Because if that centralized, organized group that Alex pretends he's fighting against really existed, they'd already have done that.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
So that's interesting.
jordan holmes
Have you considered that reality that...
In all honesty, maybe one of the things that is protecting us is unregulated capitalism insofar as if corporations actually wanted to become their own nation, there would be nothing to stop them.
At this point in time, if they wanted to...
No one could stop them.
dan friesen
Interesting.
jordan holmes
There's no stopping their economic power.
If they decided to become one block, then we would have a global government, essentially.
dan friesen
Interesting thought.
That's for another day.
Let's get back to Alex.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
I'm sorry.
I'm fucking out of it, man.
dan friesen
No, I know.
It's like wearing a couple of beanbags.
Just sitting around.
unidentified
Do you realize that a corporation could become a state?
jordan holmes
It could!
dan friesen
I know.
Anyway, in this next clip, Alex wants to stress how important the times are and how he is unable to put it into words, probably because he's day drunk.
unidentified
Yeah.
alex jones
Providence showed it's...
jordan holmes
Already off to a bad start.
alex jones
...face again.
unidentified
It's old face.
alex jones
Smiling face of an old man.
jordan holmes
With fake hair.
alex jones
Pulling us back yet again from the brink.
jordan holmes
Racistly.
alex jones
And just a spirit of life, a spirit of success, a spirit of joy, a spirit of future endeavors.
jordan holmes
That is dead on the inside.
alex jones
A spirit of believing in humanity.
dan friesen
Really, like future endeavors, it's fun that he used that terminology because that's like, you know, when wrestling, when you get fired, you get future endeavored.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Is that the terminology?
It's like, we look forward to seeing your success in future endeavors.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
And that happens in office.
Oh, yeah.
That terminology is always used in a firing.
jordan holmes
It is a...
dan friesen
It's the fact that he's like, future endeavors.
jordan holmes
It's a euphemism of very obvious intent.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's very weird that those are the words that came to his mind.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Anyway.
alex jones
Came back into the world like a sunbeam cutting through the tempest.
And that's where we are right now.
jordan holmes
Destroying...
alex jones
You can feel the energy.
jordan holmes
Literature.
alex jones
Tectonically.
Shifting.
You can feel all the old scores and all the old battles, all the repercussions, the percussions of past battles echoing through the space-time continuum and bouncing back from the future to where we are.
We can all tell that we're in an amazing moment in history right now.
And that's why I struggle before I do these live feeds.
How do I articulate the gravity, the depth, the importance, the historical nature, the timelessness of where we are?
jordan holmes
I'm going to go with poorly.
Poorly is how you do that.
dan friesen
I mean, in the end, yes, always.
But, like, I fucking love that, like, if Alex was a stand-up...
One of his bits that would get the audience like, ah!
Like one of his get-or-dones would be, I don't know how...
unidentified
To express the majesty and the importance of the stars aligning and solar winds coming through.
dan friesen
Like, he ends up launching off on a soliloquy using all this grandiose fucking language while saying, I don't know how to describe how important these times are.
jordan holmes
Well, he just misread the Tempest.
dan friesen
Well, he just used that as a term for storm, I think.
jordan holmes
I agree.
dan friesen
I don't think that was even a reference.
jordan holmes
No, I understand, but that's my point.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Something else he misuses in this next clip is...
Quote from Donald Trump.
jordan holmes
That's not good.
dan friesen
If you're paying close attention, he then takes a big old drink.
alex jones
So here we are, and I've watched what's happened.
I always go with my gut.
At least in the last decade, I didn't used to follow it.
The more I follow my gut, everything's okay.
The problem is now, I just follow it.
I intellectually study things, but now at 44, I've just learned to just go with it, and everything's so much better.
They had that famous Trump quote where he said, you know, I used to mind myself with details and obsess over things, but the deepest thing I ever did was to start going with just my first assumption, and that was the deepest thing in my life.
dan friesen
So I want to read the actual Trump quote.
This is from his book, Think Like a Billionaire.
jordan holmes
Which he definitely wrote, personally, by himself.
It's very easy for him to write.
He has a great...
Attention span.
dan friesen
The actual quote is, the day I realized it can be smart to be shallow was, for me, a deep experience.
That's different than what Alex is suggesting the quote is.
Because what he's saying in that clip is sometimes it's advantageous to just use your baser impulse and be superficial.
jordan holmes
How much do I distrust his reading comprehension skills?
He doesn't know what the word quote means.
dan friesen
Right, because Alex is presenting it as, like, it's deep to be shallow, or something like that.
Like, there's some sort of zen koan in there, or something like that.
jordan holmes
It's hip to be a square.
dan friesen
Right, exactly, and that's not what the quote is.
Anyway, let's finish this.
See if you can figure out where he takes a drink.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
I was being shallow.
People didn't get how zen that statement was.
They thought, oh my god, look at this asshole he's saying.
The deepest thing he ever did was being shallow.
dan friesen
It's right here.
unidentified
Yeah.
alex jones
You ever...
unidentified
You heard him swallow!
alex jones
Ignored your woman's intuition?
dan friesen
After he takes a big pull from that whiskey, he's like, you ever not listen to your woman?
jordan holmes
And it doesn't get more obvious that it's a mixed drink with ice in it, either.
unidentified
Yep, and it's a big Dixie cup.
dan friesen
And this time, he didn't have a second camera to cut away to.
So actually, I have snapshots of it.
He's going under the desk.
He leans down under the desk, grabs a big cup, and takes a fucking pull off it that you'd never take from a water cup.
There's zero chance.
And there's actually a part of me that got really fucking conspiratorial as I was watching it.
Because as he's taking a drink, he side-eyes the camera as if to say, You know what I'm drinking.
jordan holmes
Come on, Alex.
We have the courage to drink live.
Come on, man.
dan friesen
I think more realistically what it was was that he was taking the drink and he didn't realize there wasn't a camera to go to.
So that side eye to the camera was more a look of like...
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
I'm on air, clearly.
unidentified
I am drunk.
dan friesen
And what he does, I've never seen him do this before, he takes the drink and slides it to, like, we're just out of camera frame in front of him.
And so, like, Iona, Rob Dew comes over and collects it from him.
It's very weird.
jordan holmes
Nice work, Dew.
dan friesen
So, anyway, he's taking his drink and he asked about women's intuition.
We'll pick up right there.
alex jones
You ever, uh...
ignored your woman's intuition?
Because women consciously, statistically, aren't as good as men at making decisions on the battlefield.
But decisions about the house to buy, or the job to have, or the man to be with, or the intuition about street smarts, women have it.
We balance that out together.
So, in closing here, I just want to say this.
dan friesen
So, in closing...
jordan holmes
He's already closing?
dan friesen
He has mentioned McCabe once in passing, only to shit on reporters.
jordan holmes
He's closed it.
dan friesen
Well, he's trying to.
Spoiler alert, he's not.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, obviously not.
dan friesen
No, he doesn't let a fucking buzz get wasted.
He's got to stay on air a little bit.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah, he's got to ride this out.
dan friesen
So that's just some good classical Western chauvinism.
jordan holmes
I love the idea of applying statistics to what women can do on the battlefield as though it's been something that they have had the chance to.
Like, it's not been a controlled experiment, you know?
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
It's not like there's an equal representation there to actually get a quantifiable measure of statistics.
Alex.
Is fucking stupid.
That's like saying, well, you know, statistically, women, if they're on their period, they're going to lose their uterus whenever they try and run.
That's just a true fact.
dan friesen
Statistically.
jordan holmes
Statistically, so many women, uteruses just fall out.
dan friesen
I mean, for me right now, I find his chauvinism a little bit boring, you know?
And I don't know.
I don't even want to engage.
jordan holmes
It's infuriating.
dan friesen
It's a little infuriating, but it's like...
jordan holmes
It infuriates me.
Any and all chauvinism infuriates me, and I'm guilty of it as well.
dan friesen
He just took a pull from the whiskey on the rocks, and he's like, I don't want to talk about the thing I'm supposed to be talking about.
jordan holmes
What do you think he's drinking?
It's not straight.
dan friesen
I think it is.
jordan holmes
He's a mixed drink.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
He's a mixed drink guy.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
He wants to...
Present the concept.
dan friesen
Oh, that's interesting.
jordan holmes
He wants to make you feel as though, oh, I drink it straight.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
But that's not true.
dan friesen
Yeah, you're probably right.
He's probably a soy boy who pretends he drinks black coffee.
jordan holmes
Of course!
dan friesen
Soy boy!
jordan holmes
You know what?
dan friesen
We are taking it back.
I said it would never happen.
We're taking it back.
jordan holmes
It's kind of happening.
alex jones
Soy boy!
dan friesen
Anyway, it's not going to work.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
We had a 20-second experiment.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that was no good.
We got cucked out by Soy Boy, I think, is what just happened there.
unidentified
So, Jordan, in the last...
dan friesen
I mean, if you want to go back a couple months, we had Trump saying that he's a globalist.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But then if you want to just look at the last month or so, we had Trump saying, I like taking the guns early.
We had him suggesting that maybe he should be president for life.
We've had him saying that drug dealers maybe should get to the death penalty.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Said a lot of things that fly pretty counter to Alex's philosophies.
He's not talked about any of them.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Can't do that.
jordan holmes
He's the face of providence.
dan friesen
That sort of gets ignored in Alex's conception.
Uh-uh.
But he, to be fair, did talk a little bit about the gun stuff, but he sort of pushed it aside and said, you know, like, eh.
jordan holmes
Eh, don't worry about it.
He's capitulating in public, but he's still a secret patriot.
dan friesen
It's a Machiavellian movie.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
He's probably trying to do something sneaky.
jordan holmes
Get him on your side, and then you hit him.
dan friesen
So in this next clip, Alex explains that he's always wrong whenever he questions Trump.
alex jones
Sure.
So, in closing here, I just want to say this.
I have watched Trump in a compendium of what he's done.
And always when something looks like a betrayal, it turns out to be the opposite.
But I have guiltily not gone with my gut the last six months sometimes and attacked Trump on issues just so I could feel like I was being fair.
dan friesen
That's why?
alex jones
But if somebody wanted you to cut your baby in two so they'd get one half of it, that wouldn't be fair.
jordan holmes
That was that story, right?
alex jones
My gut about Trump's been right.
And McCabe and all of them set up a criminal network inside the Justice Department and then paid for fake dossiers and ordered FBI agents that found no evidence to alter the 302s.
That's all over the news now.
That's breaking.
I mean, each count of that is a felony.
dan friesen
So Alex finally got to McCabe here a little bit.
The timeline of the Fusion GPS and the donations from McAuliffe to McCabe's wife's run for Senate, I believe, don't match up.
The timeline doesn't match up.
All of this narrative is pretty whack.
But Alex is saying that it's all over the news now that McCabe made...
His subordinates changed their 302 forms, which are the forms that the FBI uses to report on interviews that they've done with suspects or persons of interest and what have you.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Did not know that.
dan friesen
This is not all over the news.
jordan holmes
I feel like I would know what a 302 was if it was all over the news.
dan friesen
It's being reported in Gateway Pundit.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
Well, then...
dan friesen
And I went and checked that out.
And one source on that, some tweets.
They were put out by Mike Cernovich.
Mike Cernovich's source?
Anonymous source.
I don't know.
We're going to have to hold off on this one.
It's just their way of trying to get Flynn off the hook.
That's basically what they're doing.
They're running interference to try and attack the Mueller probe.
Anyway, I don't really care.
It's not in the news.
But also, I don't think that Alex should be...
Critiquing Trump when he says really fucked up stuff because he wants to appear fair.
I think he should be attacking Trump because Trump is saying things that run counter to his beliefs.
jordan holmes
He can't, though.
He is a fucking sycophantic toady now.
unidentified
It's amazing what a pathetic little bitch he is.
jordan holmes
Like, I don't...
For somebody...
It's so disappointing.
At the very least, prior to Trump.
He was trying to be an iconoclast of sorts.
He was trying to be the only guy who was doing what he was doing.
dan friesen
With a little country music thrown in.
jordan holmes
Exactly!
With a little bit of highwaymen in there every now and then.
He was trying to be himself.
And now he is trying.
He's actively trying.
Just buy that clip right there.
When he's contrite.
dan friesen
Trying to not be himself.
jordan holmes
When he's contrite in saying every time that I disagree with Trump, I'm wrong.
He's trying.
To be a little bitch.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
He doesn't have a fucking backbone anymore.
And it's sad.
dan friesen
It's very sad.
jordan holmes
It's pathetic.
dan friesen
It's very sad to see a man brought low like this.
A man or a woman brought low.
jordan holmes
Alex is pathetic.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And it's really sad, too, because if things go the direction they appear to be going, and, I don't know, let's say Trump does fire Mueller.
jordan holmes
He will.
I texted you earlier.
I put it at a 90% chance.
Against the advice of literally everybody anywhere near him, he's going to do it.
dan friesen
I think it's a possibility.
jordan holmes
He's going to tweet it at 3 a.m. and he's going to be like, Miller's fired.
dan friesen
It's possible, but if we do see those sorts of things, we are seeing the deterioration of civil government.
And not like civil government meaning like a city or whatever.
Just the idea that we can govern is being deteriorated in front of our eyes.
And the idea that Alex Jones is like a mouthpiece that pushes for and apologizes for that when that's so counter to everything he stood for for the last couple decades is particularly sad.
It's so pathetic that he, for whatever reason...
unidentified
Maybe money?
dan friesen
Maybe blackmail?
jordan holmes
I don't...
I genuinely don't know at this point.
dan friesen
Yeah.
It's got to be something real powerful, though.
Some sort of drive that's really, really powerful.
And it can't just be, like...
Maybe it's syphilis.
unidentified
For real?
dan friesen
I don't...
jordan holmes
Have we considered that he's just lonely at this point?
Like, have we considered that...
dan friesen
He can get Rob Du to come down to the studio on St. Patrick's Day.
jordan holmes
No, I mean...
dan friesen
He's not lonely.
jordan holmes
At a certain point, he has tried to avoid aligning himself with a movement that exists.
You know, like, the team party didn't really exist.
dan friesen
Because he's always been a Ron Paul guy.
Exactly.
He's always had a community there.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's true.
dan friesen
And 9-11 Truth.
Right, right.
He's always had a really secure place within that world.
I don't know.
I don't think...
jordan holmes
And the truth is, Dracula caused 9-11.
It's true.
He was Italian.
dan friesen
Turned into a bat, flew into the tower.
jordan holmes
Yep, it was the crown.
dan friesen
Yeah, I don't know, man.
It's really fucked up.
And the more we think about it, the less we know.
But something's going to come out eventually.
Anyway, we can speculate about the reality of the world all we want.
But the truth is that there's two sides.
Globalists and Patriots.
jordan holmes
That's not true.
dan friesen
No, it's not.
But Alex thinks it is.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
So there's those two sides.
And you might be asking yourself, who's ahead?
Is it the Globalists or the Patriots?
jordan holmes
Is this like one of those...
Like when you go to a basketball game and they have the Dunkin' Donut racing against the milkshake or whatever the fuck it is.
dan friesen
I would rather it be that.
Instead, it's Alex Jones using his hands to be like, oh, it's right here, right here.
It's like doing like, we're here, they're here.
jordan holmes
I love it.
dan friesen
And so now you get to hear the audio of it, which is no less comprehensible than the video.
You're not missing anything.
jordan holmes
Excellent.
alex jones
The magnitude of what's going on is unspeakable.
Everyone knows that I don't come on here and say, oh, we're winning.
Oh, it's all over next week.
Oh, Hillary will be indicted next week.
dan friesen
We're going to say that all the time.
alex jones
I don't do all that stuff.
People used to think I was super negative.
We were way behind.
dan friesen
I would admit we were way behind.
alex jones
But I would explain that if we didn't fight back, we'd get pushed over and totally enslaved.
unidentified
Now, we are falling apart, Alex.
alex jones
Not way ahead.
Because in the time space of all these decades, they're way ahead.
But let's say they're this far ahead.
We're like warping right now.
Like, they realize we're about to be ahead.
Like, it took them 100 years of globalists and robber barons, the British Empire manipulation, to get up here.
And just in five years, we're just...
And that's why they're like...
That's the point.
They don't know what to do.
We're about to win.
And I'll use the cheesy analogy of Terminator.
They'd already blown up.
You know, the AI command, and it knew, Skynet knew it had to go back to stop it.
And we're basically at that point.
dan friesen
What?
alex jones
Here's winning, getting this system of globalism off as this dystopia.
It doesn't mean that utopia is coming, but at least right-headedness, you know, a new renaissance.
jordan holmes
That kind of is what that means.
alex jones
We're there.
That's why the energy is so high.
It's why they're so panicked.
What are they going to launch?
In the next six weeks.
dan friesen
Well, I don't know.
jordan holmes
Space camp.
dan friesen
Yeah, probably.
I mean, we'll see what your theories are about that.
That's weird.
jordan holmes
I don't understand what it is he thinks he's saying.
dan friesen
I think he thinks he's saying...
In order for the globalists to succeed at this point, they will have to go back in time.
They'll have to send someone back in time to kill young Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
That's not a bad idea.
dan friesen
I guess he thinks he's John Connor now?
Is that how the metaphor would work?
Is that right?
jordan holmes
Yeah, and the globalists have Arnold on their side.
dan friesen
Yeah, until the second movie.
jordan holmes
Until the second movie.
When the globalists are...
Okay.
dan friesen
They're secretly on Alex's side in the second movie?
jordan holmes
I have no idea.
dan friesen
Yeah, I don't know.
jordan holmes
I have no idea.
dan friesen
I gotta rewatch Terminator.
Anyway, I don't know.
I always find his, like, we're here, they're here kind of distasteful because it always just feels like a sales pitch.
jordan holmes
It's very much him constantly trying to keep you on your toes.
You know, like there's always a...
We're winning, and because we're winning, you need to support us, and you need to make sure that we keep winning.
And then it's like, well, maybe we're tied, and we're losing right now, and in order to win, you need to support us so that we can win.
And when we win, if we're winning, that's not always there.
dan friesen
It's always that we're winning or we're losing, but...
jordan holmes
Right, exactly.
dan friesen
And the but is always, just give me more money and we'll be able to succeed.
And he needs that money because he's getting sued like crazy.
But in this next clip...
jordan holmes
Help me settle my lawsuits with laundered money.
dan friesen
In this next clip, he paints all of the lawsuits as globalist oppression.
jordan holmes
That sounds right.
alex jones
Because people would think the government trying to take my kids away and...
dan friesen
That's not what happened.
alex jones
The lies, the persecution, them offering all the former employees money to lie about me.
dan friesen
That's not what happened.
alex jones
All the fake lawsuits about Georgetown and Obama's people and...
Hillary's people.
dan friesen
None of that is what happened.
His ex-wife was taking him to court.
jordan holmes
Not the government.
dan friesen
Not the government.
And Georgetown is not the one who's suing you.
It's Brendan Gilmore.
jordan holmes
Neither is Obama.
Obama's not anywhere near this.
dan friesen
No, he's not in play.
jordan holmes
Frankly, Obama is doing bad work right now.
I really do not like anything that Obama is doing.
dan friesen
Also, if anyone is giving...
If anyone is...
Talking to ex-employees of Alex and saying, like, we'll give you money.
It's some sort of, like, we'll protect you from your NDA.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
Or something like that.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
The non-disclosure agreement you signed when you worked at Infowars will try and help you get around that.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
It's not offering people 30 pieces of silver to turn on Jesus.
jordan holmes
Once again.
NDAs do not protect crimes.
dan friesen
Yeah, but there's probably a lot of embarrassing stuff people want out that's not quite a crime that maybe journalists are asking them about and stuff like that.
jordan holmes
No, no, absolutely.
dan friesen
I believe that's possible.
jordan holmes
But if you're like, hey, Alex Jones committed a crime, the NDA doesn't cover crimes.
dan friesen
So if any of you out there who used to work at InfoWars know about Fortified Supply, hit us up.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Because that's a crime.
jordan holmes
For real.
alex jones
They think I'm sitting there like with a bank ledger going, oh, I got this much money, oh, that's against me.
And the left thinks I'm like them, like they attack me and it's all about me.
So, oh, I'll pull back because of peer pressure.
I go towards the attack.
And again, that's not like even anything special.
That's what you do if you're trying to change the world.
So I've never been more alive.
I've never been freer.
dan friesen
I bet.
That doesn't sound sincere.
jordan holmes
It's fascinating to me how every time he brings up something where he's like, they think I have a bank ledger.
Everybody's like, we didn't think that.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
I think you just admitted that you have a bank ledger.
dan friesen
And you're really stressing about how much these lawsuits are going to cost you when you settle them.
jordan holmes
I'm happier than I've ever been.
It's like...
You're the unhappiest you've ever been.
Why are you saying these things?
dan friesen
It's so obvious.
jordan holmes
He's trying to convince himself.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
It's so obvious from his affect.
We listen to these episodes from a couple years back when he's happy.
Having a blast talking about the globalists.
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
And now you just have this...
jordan holmes
Singing some fucking Metallica coming out of the break.
He's having a grand old time in 2008.
dan friesen
Yeah, but he's now, in 2018, a decade later, convincing himself that he's important, that he has power, that he's happy.
jordan holmes
How is it that we can get both...
unidentified
I don't know if I can do this anymore.
jordan holmes
And I'm the happiest I've ever been in the same show.
dan friesen
Well, we'll see the context of the I can't do this anymore here in a little bit.
But before we do that, Alex has got to brag about how important he is.
alex jones
Does the globalists already know this?
The phone's already tapped.
I used to think a couple years ago, this was like patronizing me.
When I'd be on the phone with some top retired general, I mean recently retired or high-level CIA people, current former, or people in Hollywood or whatever, I used to think it was like a patronizing, like, what do we do, Alex?
We're waiting for you to lead, Alex.
What are we supposed to do?
What do we do?
dan friesen
Holy shit.
alex jones
And I thought it was like paranoid, like, oh, this is a manipulation.
You're not going to stroke my ego.
It is!
And then I realized...
In my conversations with the President and others, when the President just says, we're going to make it, our spirit's strong, we've got to believe in God, we're going to make it to the other side, be strong, I'm going to be strong, it's going to be hard, that all of us, man, woman, and child, black, white, old, young, Asian, Hispanic, whatever, as long as we love God, we're all equal.
We are peers.
dan friesen
No, because they don't believe in God.
jordan holmes
We're peers with Trump.
alex jones
He's peers with us.
He's just got a lot of strength.
He's connected to God.
He understands what's going on.
He is putting a very strong face on.
dan friesen
We've got to finish the rest of this clip, but I just wanted to butt in because Alex is at the point of St. Patrick's Day drunk where he's like, he's really into talking about God.
And that's going to keep coming up.
He's basically turning into a preacher.
Again, this is supposed to be a special report about McCabe and Hillary Clinton.
unidentified
Right.
alex jones
For everybody, and it's happening.
And I've had...
Leaders of the most elite military teams there are.
Tell me, Alex, you're too humble.
We're waiting for leadership.
What are we supposed to do?
dan friesen
He's talking about Sawman Sawyer, who Alex says is the leader of SEAL Team 6. I'm certain that's who he's talking about here.
alex jones
What do we do?
And I'm like, is that an ego thing?
They're like, no, you've already done this.
We understand you're for real.
And you're specialized in this.
What do we do?
And it's the same thing I just say to them.
Just keep telling the truth and whatever you think is best, and you need to be a leader as well.
And I don't tell you that stuff to brag, folks.
dan friesen
Sure.
That's really sad to me.
That's very, very sad.
Because I think what he's reflecting on when he's talking about this stuff is he's talking about people like Steve Pachenik and stuff who have been like...
We've heard Steve on the show buttering up his ego like crazy.
And it's clear that he's manipulating him.
It's literally obvious.
jordan holmes
He's the easiest person to con in history because he really wants to be conned.
dan friesen
You know what?
I bet we could fake a fight or something like that on one of our episodes where I pretend...
I have been convinced that Alex is right.
We do that.
jordan holmes
I have a track record that wouldn't allow that.
dan friesen
We fake a couple episodes where I'm doing fake Alex is totally right about stuff.
I bet I could get on his show.
I guarantee it.
jordan holmes
If we do a couple of them where I push back and I'm like, No!
And you're like, the globalists are the ones who are causing all this stuff.
And I'm like, chauvinism and sexism and racism and you're an anti-Semite now.
dan friesen
Especially if we did it in the first couple minutes of the show, because Alex isn't going to listen to the whole show.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he's not going to listen to the whole show.
dan friesen
And we have to make it the headline, too.
I bet we could...
Whitewash the entirety of the last year and a half, and he'd be like, you're a great man.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
I bet it would be that easy.
He's very trickable.
jordan holmes
We're going to talk to a man who used to be a globalist, and now he has become a patriot.
dan friesen
He's not patronizing me when he says that I was responsible for helping him see the light.
Even though I would 100% be patronizing him.
And even us having this conversation wouldn't preclude the ability of us to do this in the future.
jordan holmes
Absolutely not!
He's not going to hear this conversation.
We're already an hour in.
We could fucking bail on this easily.
dan friesen
So, you know how sometimes Alex Jones likes to say, if you understand this clip, you understand everything?
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
Usually when he's talking about chimeras or some shit.
jordan holmes
When he's not bragging.
dan friesen
This next clip, if you understand what's going on in this next clip...
You understand everything about Alex Jones.
unidentified
Gotcha.
dan friesen
I think this clip kind of perfectly sums up his headspace right now, especially when he's day drunk.
This delights me.
So mic down on this one.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
I don't tell you that to brag.
I tell you that because this is real.
And what InfoWars has, has them scared.
And what is it?
I don't get off on seeing a crippled kid.
I don't get off on having a bigger house than somebody.
I don't get off on having knowledge.
I want to share it.
And that's why they think Trump's mentally ill.
It's why they say I have a dark heart and I'm a monster.
Because to them, you don't give that knowledge.
People that have this knowledge, you don't give it to the profane.
You understand?
But I instinctively want knowledge from people that have more than I, and I want to give you the knowledge I have, and I believe in you.
But these sick people, they believe that they've got to bring somebody down.
My wife's getting mad at me.
unidentified
I'm supposed to be home.
alex jones
I can't do this anymore.
Listen.
All I'm telling you is Hollywood has nothing to answer.
dan friesen
What?
unidentified
Wait, that was what that was about?
dan friesen
This is everything you need to know about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
That was what that was about.
dan friesen
Word salad, just nonsense about, like, this is why they think Trump is mentally ill because there's secret arcane knowledge and you're not supposed to give it to the uninitiated.
Everybody, the globalists are evil.
jordan holmes
Anyways, I'm really mad Black Panther is doing well.
dan friesen
My wife's mad at me.
I can't do this anymore.
Long pause.
Listen.
Hollywood has nothing for you.
What the fuck?
His thought gets completely off trail because he gets a text from his wife that he's not happy about.
Obviously, it's something like, why are you drunk at the studio with Rob Dew?
St. Patrick's Day.
We're supposed to be hanging out with our kids.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Something like that.
jordan holmes
Happy St. Patrick's Day, Keegan.
dan friesen
I can't do this anymore.
I don't think it's about the show.
jordan holmes
No.
It's about, I gotta go home.
dan friesen
I think it's about his, like, this family is getting in the way of my preaching the truth about Trump.
It could go either way, though.
I'm 50-50 on it.
It could be, like, I'm sick and tired of doing this show the way I'm doing it.
Or it could be, like, family responsibilities.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
It's bullshit.
Fucking 10-month-old.
It's too much.
Anyway.
unidentified
Hollywood.
dan friesen
Hollywood has nothing for you.
jordan holmes
Anybody.
Regardless of anything.
If you agree with me 100%, or if you disagree with me 100%, or anywhere in between, if you start talking about how the leader is connected to God, I'm out.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah.
jordan holmes
No thanks.
dan friesen
Oh, and it gets even worse as this goes along.
jordan holmes
I'm going to go with no God kings, period.
dan friesen
No, it's bad.
It's next level bad in terms of the rhetoric that comes out of the supporters of dictators.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
It's kind of even hacky.
jordan holmes
No God Kings!
dan friesen
It's hacky as a propagandist to do that sort of work.
unidentified
That's a good point.
jordan holmes
It still works, though.
It's very easy.
Humans are shit.
Has anybody considered that maybe we should die?
dan friesen
Oh, I mean, there's that whole vehement movement that I mentioned on a recent episode.
jordan holmes
That's right, I'm on.
dan friesen
The voluntary human extinction movement.
jordan holmes
I did join them.
dan friesen
Oh, you did?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Paying dues?
jordan holmes
Yep, exactly.
dan friesen
I don't know why they need dues.
The whole group is about not doing something.
jordan holmes
I think the whole point is not to pay dues, but there you go.
dan friesen
Anyway, from there, Alex Jones gets into, like, the Hollywood has nothing for you.
And this transitions into a motivational speech.
He kind of gets back on topic and then ends up with even more of a dictator-y line.
jordan holmes
That's not good.
alex jones
They have nothing to give you.
The whole system has nothing.
Stop feeling insecure.
Stop feeling like you're not empowered.
You are empowered.
dan friesen
If he just said that and nothing else, love it.
jordan holmes
To his listeners, no.
You should feel insecure.
You don't have power.
dan friesen
Please.
jordan holmes
Please retreat into your own fantasy world and don't interact with the rest of us.
dan friesen
See, I disagree.
They are empowered to break free of the conditioning that Alex is putting onto them.
jordan holmes
No, they're not.
It's too late.
dan friesen
Everyone has a chance for a second or third shot.
jordan holmes
They're even more easily conned than Alex.
That's bad.
dan friesen
Everyone can be the hero of their own story if they just turn things around a little bit.
And I wish nothing but the best for all the info warriors out there, but I expect very little.
jordan holmes
You know what it is?
It is that Alex Jones listeners have second act problems.
That's the issue.
If you're going to go with a...
dan friesen
Often the story doesn't progress.
jordan holmes
If you're going to go with a classic Joseph Campbellian kind of situation, a hero's journey, if you will, you guys got to figure out how to get past the crisis point.
dan friesen
Well, the problem with trying to frame his listeners into a hero's journey is that, by definition, none of them can be the actor in the story.
jordan holmes
Right, because Alex Jones is...
dan friesen
He's the actor.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And he's the pro...
The globalists are the antagonists, and you at best are someone who's along for the ride.
jordan holmes
You're an NPC.
dan friesen
Yeah, you're just helping out.
You're someone who Alex meets along the road who gives him a couple pieces of gold or something like that.
Gives him a side quest at best.
And that side quest is he answered your phone call once or something like that.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you're right.
dan friesen
But I still like the...
It's so desperate in the Alex Jones land in 2018 that I'm like, I like this.
And I want to point it out that I like the idea of Alex Jones saying, you're empowered.
You don't need all this stuff.
And if people would just apply it in the right direction, I think it's a positive message.
jordan holmes
Anyway.
I think he's going to continue and invalidate that message.
dan friesen
Yeah, he might.
alex jones
Stop believing mainstream media.
Stop thinking you have to look outside yourself and God for answers.
Because this whole thing's coming down.
And Trump going after McCabe for his fraud and his falsifying government documents and his running the whole Clinton cabal.
dan friesen
Again?
alex jones
The fact that Trump fired him and the fact that they're looking at indictments is everything you need to know.
dan friesen
That's hearsay.
alex jones
That this is real.
And Trump and I and everybody else, we believe in you because we believe in ourselves because this is spiritual.
If we give in to Hillary, if we give in to Michael Moore, if we give in to Dianne Feinstein, if we give in to the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers and the U.N. and all these people, we die.
We're not fighting them because we want power.
We're fighting them because when we're with them, it feels like we're underwater.
It's spiritual strangulation.
dan friesen
So real quick, before you respond to that, I just want to point out that there was a click in there after you said, we die.
And that wasn't on my end.
That was on his end.
He got another text from his wife.
You could see his phone and it lit up.
He got another text from his wife and that caused an interference.
So his wife is not happy at this point.
But, you know, the indictment stuff is all just probably Roger Stone in his ear.
It's just the hot talk in the conservative world.
jordan holmes
I don't think you necessarily need Roger Stone involved in that.
unidentified
No, probably not.
jordan holmes
That's everybody.
dan friesen
It's the hot narrative.
jordan holmes
Everybody who's really, really trying to convince themselves that Trump isn't guilty.
dan friesen
State media shit.
jordan holmes
Based on everything that I know about human nature, I would guess that Trump really, really doesn't believe he's guilty of collusion.
Based on everything I know about Trump in the past two days, Trump really, really believes he's guilty of money laundering.
So that's why he's going to fire Mueller, is because this time there's no way he knows he's not guilty of this shit.
dan friesen
Oh, because Mueller has subpoenaed documents from the Trump organization.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's why we went from...
There's no collusion to this guy's a monster and he's fucking falsifying everything and he's bullshit.
It's because Trump knows he's guilty of some serious shit.
dan friesen
Taking that into consideration, I might agree with your 90% assessment.
Oh, yeah.
Look, I don't know, man.
The idea that even as a political distraction there would be indictments against Hillary and Bill and Obama and stuff like that.
Do you understand the powder keg that sets off?
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
That is an unbelievable shitstorm of dissent into tyranny.
Yeah.
Punishing your political rivals a year and a half after an election.
jordan holmes
It's not good.
It doesn't send a good message.
dan friesen
It certainly would be a tragic prelude to the midterms.
jordan holmes
Well, I think the issue there is that they are jealous.
Because all of those people totally committed crimes that they should be held accountable for.
But they're better at getting away with it than you guys are.
dan friesen
And it's not the crimes that Alex is accusing them of.
jordan holmes
Exactly!
dan friesen
It's other crimes.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but they're hiding it because they're good at it.
Because they hired people who know how to do this shit.
And you guys are stupid.
And you feel like you can just...
Like, you're like, well, they can hide their crime, so I can hide mine, but you don't learn how to.
dan friesen
It comes from that, like, inferiority childishness that Alex expresses all the time.
It's like, they think they're better than us.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
That sort of thing.
jordan holmes
That's because they are.
dan friesen
Right, right.
jordan holmes
That's because they are.
dan friesen
It's like you're a kid in school, and you see the cool kid.
And you're like, why can he get away with all this stuff and I can't?
And then you try the same things?
You can't get away with it.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
And Alex is still living in that paradigm to some extent.
And a lot of people on the right are as well.
jordan holmes
At a certain point, it stops being ego to be like, hey, I'm better at you than this.
And it starts just being a statement of fact.
It's not like you're not competing with me anymore, so it's not ego for me to tell you that you're stupid.
Because you just are, and I'm just not.
dan friesen
But at the same time, I think it's important to just make very clear that we don't think it's good that they're committing crimes either.
jordan holmes
No, no, no!
dan friesen
Just because we are sort of detachedly saying they are more competent at it doesn't mean we're, like, thrilled they're doing it.
jordan holmes
No, no.
I think my history will make it clear.
I am against all of those people.
dan friesen
I just wanted to make it clear in case we have any new listeners who think we're, like, thrilled that the Democrats commit crimes.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
No, no, no.
I'm against that.
dan friesen
Super hard.
So, last week, a story came out.
I believe it was in Vice.
Maybe it was BuzzFeed.
I don't know.
It's one of Alex's usual targets.
And they laid out a bunch of times that Trump and Alex have said very similar things.
And it's an important conversation we need to have socially.
Not what Alex is pretending it's saying.
He is trying to react to the idea that he's writing Trump's words or something like that.
And in reality, it is just that insanity has taken over the body politic.
And our discourse has become so eroded that Alex Jones-y type speech is okay.
Whereas it was not before.
And so you can make a pretty clear line of times that...
jordan holmes
You had to hide that shit before.
Now it's just out in the open.
dan friesen
And so this one story came out, and maybe a couple people did sort of rehashes of it, but Alex is pretending there's thousands of stories talking about that, and he has a rebuttal.
alex jones
And people ask why so many of us are on the same page.
Like, the left follows orders.
They follow scripts.
They follow documents.
They follow ideas that the higher-ups come up with because they want slaves.
And the left is freaked out in thousands.
When I say thousands, I mean it's thousands a week now.
Thousands of articles.
They go, Trump was giving a speech at the same time as Jones, and they said the exact same thing.
And they've got computers that look at this.
There's big articles about it this week, a bunch of them.
And they go, is Jones writing the speeches, or is Trump writing?
Because a lot of this is original stuff.
No.
The spirit's writing it.
You see, you just don't think like evil in the universe goes in and possesses these minions, do you?
God doesn't possess.
It's like solar wind.
It's like ideas.
It's like divine inspiration.
And so they have all these videos and all these articles.
A hundred times Trump sounded like Jones or eleven times he quoted Jones.
All this stuff.
I'd love to take the credit.
It isn't.
It's that it's the same page.
It's the same sheet of music.
And we didn't write it.
Our soul resonates with it.
And you know a man by his enemies.
They are so panicked right now.
dan friesen
The only people I see publicly panicked are Alex.
And I say are Alex because I lump in Alex's world as a large scale.
I don't see...
unidentified
The MSM freaking out.
dan friesen
I don't see...
jordan holmes
Which may be to all of our detriment.
dan friesen
And has been for the last two and a half years.
jordan holmes
At least the last five years.
dan friesen
Because you were going back to that Alex for the last five years comment.
Alex, don't pretend you didn't make a functional giant pivot literally two years ago.
We watched it happen in real time.
We know exactly when you change.
Don't fucking pretend five years my ass, you stupid asshole.
But like...
I don't, admittedly, I don't watch the mainstream news, the MSNBCs, the CNNs every day, but whenever I see clips of it, I don't see people panicked.
I see people, boy, trying to report unbiasedly and slipping a bit, but at the same time, I don't see panic from them.
I don't see panic from Mueller.
I don't see panic from smart folks on the left on Twitter.
jordan holmes
I mean, I feel like that's the wrong direction, too.
Like, I think we all should be panicked.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Like, that's one of my big issues with that concept of unbiased is that reality is unbiased and the reality is they're fucking destroying the world really quickly.
You should be panicked because that panic will maybe incite you to fucking action.
You should fucking freak out every day.
Live in a constant state of panic.
I want to fight something, and I don't even fucking know how because the system is way too large.
dan friesen
It's insane!
Well, I think that a lot of people have found a complacent stride based on the fact that, you know, for the time that it's been going on, the Mueller investigation has borne fruits in terms of...
Flipping people and guilty pleas and what have you.
And I think that a lot of people aren't freaking out because of a faith in the system that this is going to get unraveled at some point.
jordan holmes
Which it won't.
dan friesen
Well, maybe it will, maybe it won't.
But whatever the case, freak out might need to come around the corner at some point.
But a lot of people aren't panicked right now.
The only people that are panicked I see on Infowars.
Those are the people who are panicked.
Alex is creating faith.
jordan holmes
And in the White House.
dan friesen
Well, yeah.
Yeah, it's not great.
I don't focus too much on that, though, because I still think that's more of a symptom.
And I know Alex is a symptom, too, but it's like Alex is more of a primary symptom, and I think Trump is a secondary symptom.
And maybe I'm biased because of my area of study.
I see Alex freaking out about these lawsuits to the extent that he creates fake versions of them to respond to.
I see him freaking out about the fact that Trump said, I want to take the guns first and maybe we should kill drug dealers.
I see him freaking out about those things and pretending he's not freaking out and that he's totally at peace and what have you.
And that, to me, is much more indicative of, like...
You are losing it.
And the, I can't do this kind of moment.
You know what that moment was to me?
Did you ever watch Tom Green growing up?
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
So the Tom Green show, there was one episode in particular that stood out to me.
I never liked him much.
I didn't think his show was funny.
jordan holmes
No, I'm not a fan.
dan friesen
My friends loved him, and so they'd be on and we'd be smoking weed, and I'd be like, all right, fine, I'll sit through this.
I didn't enjoy him much, but there was one moment that always stuck out as sort of very transcendent to me.
It was an episode where he was sucking on a cow's udder, and in character, sucking on the udder, and then afterwards, they were still filming him, and he was like, I'm...
I'm fucking done.
I'm done with this shit.
He was really pissed off and the character broke.
There was a moment like, why am I doing this?
There's nothing.
That's the moment that you see in Alex there where the, I can't do this.
I can't do this anymore.
That sort of shit.
Or when Bam Margera would cry on Jackass.
Those moments of just like, oh, you can't keep it together.
I think that you're going to see him crack more and more.
Anyway, I'm going into a rant here.
We don't need this.
What we do need to know.
There's a little something about Rob Dew that might surprise you.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I don't know if you know about Rob Dew.
Do you know that he is a...
jordan holmes
I know his wife is mad whenever he takes super male vitality.
dan friesen
Too hard a boners.
We know that from 2014.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
We also know that he clearly is on Alex's beck and call.
Yeah, I know.
Whenever he needs him, he comes a-running because he knows where his bread is buttered.
But it turns out he has hobbies.
alex jones
I mean, Rob Dew's a jazz player.
I've talked to jazz players that are really good.
They talk about this thing where they actually sync up, where they're doing all this improv, and it's this crazy thing where you know there's a sixth sense when you link up.
It's like my wife or my children, when we're laughing and we're doing something, and I'll, like, think a thought and my little 10-month-old daughter says it.
dan friesen
No.
alex jones
And that's when you know it's all real.
dan friesen
Not a chance.
alex jones
And that's when you transcend it all, and you're like, I just want to be part of this good stuff.
dan friesen
If your 10-month-old daughter is saying the thoughts that you have, you've got terrible thoughts.
jordan holmes
You're insane.
dan friesen
Yeah, probably.
But also, I love the idea of improv is magic.
jordan holmes
I mean, you see enough improv and you realize it is not.
dan friesen
Well, there's a sort of fascinating thing that happens when people are collaborating in a, you know, like a freshly created thing.
unidentified
Right, right, right, right.
dan friesen
And it does have the appearance of like, oh, they're telepathically communicating.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
When people are doing things well, but it turns out it's just sort of an artistic pursuit that you can go in, you can vibe with each other.
jordan holmes
You practice hard enough, you get the right people.
It looks amazing.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's not the magic that Alex is thinking, but also fucking, I love the idea that like, What does Rob do play?
Oh, probably clarinet.
jordan holmes
He plays jazz clarinet?
dan friesen
Yeah, probably.
jordan holmes
All right, all right.
dan friesen
But I love the idea of Alex sitting around.
jordan holmes
He's a little bit of a take five kind of guy, huh?
dan friesen
Absolutely.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I love the idea of Alex and his 10-month-old sitting around, and they're just having a great time laughing, and then the 10-month-old is like, the globalists are evil.
And I was just like, that's what I was thinking.
I don't know when, like...
You know, the last time I went back, I went and hung out with my brother and his family for Christmas this last year.
And at that point, his daughter was about one and a half, maybe, give or take.
Right.
She wasn't coming up with sentences.
You know what I'm saying?
Right.
Take six, eight months off that age.
jordan holmes
Yeah, not good.
dan friesen
I don't know.
Unless Alex is like, they're all laughing and having a great time, and then goo-goo-ga-ga is the, yeah.
I don't know.
Anyway.
alex jones
I just want to help people.
I want to be nice.
And then the enemy comes in and goes, oh, well, do what we say.
You're a nice person.
Don't be a racist.
Don't be a capitalist.
Well, capitalism helps people.
You see, they know we have a conscience.
dan friesen
Also, he's comparing don't be a racist, don't be a capitalist in the same sentence.
Dicey.
Dicey for your position.
jordan holmes
Troublesome.
alex jones
And they know we're synced up.
They know we've already arrived.
They know we've already won.
And those that we can't get who already are serving evil, we have to realize they're trying to sabotage people.
Who haven't fully made the decision yet.
And you ask, well, why do they want to peel them off and have them go?
It's the allegory of Lucifer wanting the angels to go with him.
I mean, they just want to piss in the Cheerios.
dan friesen
They want to piss in the Cheerios, bro.
jordan holmes
That's not really an allegory.
dan friesen
No, and Alex doesn't think it is either.
He thinks it's literal.
Very literal.
As we get through the rest of this, you're going to see he's just turning into a preacher as his drunk hits its crescendo.
So in this next clip, he tries to end the show.
And it's really fascinating, the little bullet points he wants to get to, because they are fucking weird.
alex jones
So I'm going to let Rob go hang out with his family.
Appreciate you coming in, Rob.
Lord willing, I'll be back tomorrow at 4 to 6 p.m. Central.
jordan holmes
Lord willing.
alex jones
Big stuff's happening.
The Justice Department is going to indict a bunch of people.
jordan holmes
Oh, so we're finally there.
alex jones
They're going to try to kill the President in the next couple of weeks.
They're going to try to kill everybody.
I just came in here because I've never had more peace, actually.
jordan holmes
Doesn't sound like it.
alex jones
This is the piece of the fog of battle, where everything slows down.
jordan holmes
It's not peaceful.
alex jones
And where everything's very, very reflective.
dan friesen
So also, the fog of war, that term, doesn't refer to peace.
jordan holmes
No, it's very not peaceful.
dan friesen
It refers to decisions that are made that are not good in the fog of war.
jordan holmes
It's referring to the...
The fucking unknowable and inability to plan for.
dan friesen
Right.
There's even that movie.
jordan holmes
That's the concept.
dan friesen
That Errol Morris movie, The Fog of War, with McNamara talking about Vietnam.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
McNamara is the most evil.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
It's insane.
dan friesen
His middle name is Strange.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
How fun is that?
jordan holmes
That's fun.
dan friesen
So, we got this now.
jordan holmes
If only he was a doctor.
dan friesen
Jordan?
They're going to try and kill Trump in the next couple weeks.
jordan holmes
They're going to try and kill everybody.
dan friesen
Everybody.
Everybody.
jordan holmes
Who's everybody?
dan friesen
Everybody.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Literally everybody.
jordan holmes
Literally everybody?
dan friesen
I guess so.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
So anyway, we got that prediction to look forward to.
In this next clip, Alex Jones tells some lies about geopolitics, but then he pivots pretty quickly, and he actually does something we've been waiting for for a really long time.
And because he's drunk, he makes it pretty clear, and that is he tells us exactly what he means by birthright.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
alex jones
North Korea's falling to real will.
Saudi Arabia's falling.
Radical Islam's backing off.
And it's all because America was captured.
We have the birthright.
And the globalists got the birthright.
They were using that to threaten everyone to bow to the republic.
But it was the providence and it was the birthright of Everything we're doing.
dan friesen
You can do this.
Come on, man.
alex jones
Manifest destiny.
jordan holmes
No.
alex jones
That no one can stand against us.
jordan holmes
Pull out.
alex jones
And it's that birthright that the enemy hates.
unidentified
You're going to get pregnant.
alex jones
This is the most important episode on radio or TV.
All of you, if you love God, have the birthright.
And if you simply accept that birthright, that's why the enemy hates you, because you already won the lottery.
And it's a free will situation.
So that's why they hate us is because they know we've won the lottery spiritually, culturally, economically.
And they point out where we've stumbled and where we're not perfect.
God knows we're not perfect, but we love God.
dan friesen
So it's all really just about Christian supremacy.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
That's all.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Anyway.
jordan holmes
White!
White!
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
White!
We got the birth white!
dan friesen
Yeah.
Well, I mean, it's not even, I mean, for him it is, because other pieces of his cosmology that he believes in, they bring in the white supremacy, they bring in the chauvinism, the male-dominated ideas, but to him, the birthright, that idea is very specifically Christian supremacist.
jordan holmes
And to a certain extent, like, in our world, we did hit the lottery.
I'm a white dude.
dan friesen
Right.
Oh, totally.
jordan holmes
That's the lottery.
dan friesen
That's something I was thinking about as I was going over today a lot of this research about the kings and the various lineages and stuff like that.
You see all of these people throughout time who have had just charmed fucking lives because they happened to be born into the line of Queen Victoria or whatever.
And you also, every time you see one of these people, you have to think about how many people had it fucking miserable.
Right.
In all of that.
And how much that still exists today.
That dichotomy of, like, it's luck.
You are, you happened to be born in a certain circumstance, but those poor oppressed people in China or North Korea or even the Islamic terrorists you're so afraid of are you.
They're all us.
We are all them.
We just happened to be born where we were at the time we were.
And it's so fucking stupid, this idea...
Because he talks about this birthright shit all the fucking time.
And the idea that it's this simple is crazy to me.
It's absolutely nuts.
Everything about him is infuriatingly dumb.
But on some level, I do enjoy that he's like, the birthright.
Long pause.
Providence.
Long pause.
jordan holmes
Birthright.
dan friesen
He can't get the sentence going.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And I appreciate that.
Anyway, we have one more clip, but I'm just going to go ahead and skip it because it's too long and it's just him talking about God.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
Who gives a shit?
jordan holmes
Oh, you know me.
I love hearing people talk about God, Dan.
dan friesen
You love it.
jordan holmes
Oh, it's my favorite thing.
dan friesen
But at the end of the episode...
jordan holmes
It's so novel.
dan friesen
At the end of the episode, there is a moment where he's self-conscious about, like, all right, I'm going to shut up.
And then he looks at the camera and he's like, God bless you.
And then the camera lingers for like three seconds too long and he's sitting there like a deflated Alex Jones post-rant looking at the camera like, am I really going to finish?
Am I going to make Rob Do stick around for another 20?
Anyway, this brings us to the end of Alex Jones' St. Patrick's Day.
I hope you all had a great St. Patty's.
We'll be back soon, but if you'd like to find out more about the show, you can go to knowledgefight.com.
jordan holmes
Absolutely, or you can follow us on Twitter.
It's at knowledge underscore fight.
If you want to participate in what some have called...
The most exciting event of March.
That would be the bracket that Dan has created.
Globalized bracket.
dan friesen
We've got to come up with a good name by the next episode.
jordan holmes
You're going to have to go home and tell your mother.
dan friesen
You're brilliant.
jordan holmes
A Facebook group.
dan friesen
Yes.
We are also just on Facebook normally, but we also have a group.
jordan holmes
We are on Facebook!
dan friesen
Where a lot of fun happens.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
We're also on Twitter.
You already said that.
jordan holmes
I already said that.
dan friesen
iTunes is what I meant.
jordan holmes
iTunes is where we are.
dan friesen
We're there.
You can find us.
But in the meantime, we've got to close this up.
I have a suggestion of someone.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I was going to say, it's on you, man.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, you know, we got to listen to Alex Jones sort of ramble around drunk and stupid, talk about Transylvanians and black nobility.
jordan holmes
So go fuck yourself, Dracula.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
Is that not the one?
dan friesen
Disagree.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
No.
I would say that there's only one candidate that can go fuck himself right now.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
And it's the person who enables this.
Because without him, Alex couldn't do these things.
He makes it possible by leaving his family to go do all this bullshit.
jordan holmes
You're talking about a literal Renfield!
dan friesen
I'm talking about a jazz man.
And I would...
unidentified
You can...
dan friesen
Fuck yourself.
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
I'm a first-time caller.
I'm a huge fan.
jordan holmes
I love your work.
