#141: March 20-22, 2018

In Knowledge Fight’s March 20–22, 2018 episode, Dan Friesen and Jordan Holmes dissect Alex Jones’ absurd claims—from the Seth Rich murder hoax (dismissing Jack Berkman’s alleged shooting as a conspiracy-adjacent feud) to Disease X (debunking his "globalist psyop" framing despite WHO warnings). They mock Jones’ pineal gland vaccine theories, his white supremacist Rhodesia/South Africa narratives, and Roger Stone’s election interference admission, which Jones ignored. Jones’ 10% audience myth and China tariff posturing are exposed as delusional, while Loomer’s misrepresented teacher audio highlights his role in amplifying fringe propaganda. The episode underscores how Jones weaponizes conspiracy to distract from real issues, proving his rhetoric thrives on distortion rather than substance. [Automatically generated summary]

Speaker Time Text
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
I'm my first time caller.
I'm a huge fan.
jordan holmes
I love your work.
alex jones
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I am Jordan.
dan friesen
We are a couple dudes who like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, get tangled up in some dumbass cords, and talk about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
That is right, Dan.
Dan, if you were trying to sell this show and you were not talking to a tangled chord enthusiast.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
What would you describe it as?
dan friesen
You should get into tangled cords.
Okay, that's what I would say.
jordan holmes
That's a great idea.
dan friesen
You're not a tangled chord?
jordan holmes
Hold on, hold on.
What even is a podcast, but I do know tangled cords.
dan friesen
Yeah, what world do we live in where someone, anybody, is not a tangled chord enthusiast?
Sex.
jordan holmes
Sir, have you heard about Christmas Lights?
dan friesen
Indeed.
I would say that this show is about Alex Jones, and I know a lot about him.
jordan holmes
I don't know anything about Alex Jones.
dan friesen
And that twist makes things fun.
Absolutely.
jordan holmes
It's a twist like a tangled cord.
dan friesen
Indeed.
So, Jordan, I told you.
I didn't tell you.
I told the internet.
jordan holmes
You didn't tell me anything.
dan friesen
I told the internet earlier that this will be our last live episode for a while.
jordan holmes
For a week.
dan friesen
I thought you were leaving for a month.
jordan holmes
Why would I leave for a month?
dan friesen
Where even could I go for a month?
I told you before the show, I got confused because you're doing a month at Zane's in the future.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
In the near future.
jordan holmes
In May.
dan friesen
And you're going on vacation now and I combine the two into a month vacation.
I don't listen well.
jordan holmes
It is only because of Zaney's month coming up that I'll be able to afford the vacation I'm going on now.
dan friesen
Right, right.
jordan holmes
So there's no way that a month anywhere is in my future.
dan friesen
So the point is.
jordan holmes
Also because my girlfriend is richer than me.
dan friesen
This is our last live episode for one or two live episodes, possibly.
jordan holmes
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
I'll get Kevin Hogan or Drufke to come sit in.
It'll be a delightful time.
So before we get going, I'd like to give a shout out to something else that is delightful.
And that is a new donor, strong peep, good egg, as Birdie Wooster might say.
jordan holmes
By the way, Easter sale still going on.
dan friesen
Absolutely still in effect.
Jumping right in as a technocrat, I'd like to give a shout-out and thank you to Prop Dew.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
unidentified
Four stars.
alex jones
Go home to your mother and tell it you're brilliant.
Someone, sodomite, sent me a bucket of poop.
Daddy Sharp, bomb, Jarjar Binks has a Caribbean black action.
He's a loser, little, little kitty baby.
I don't want to hate black people.
I renounce Jesus Christ.
dan friesen
Thank you very much.
jordan holmes
Thank you so much, Prop Du.
unidentified
Holy shit.
dan friesen
If you'd like to become a policy wonk yourself, you can go to our website, knowledgefight.com, click the support the show button, and be a part of the team.
We would appreciate it.
It would mean a lot.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
So, Jordan, I had this thought that I wanted to do.
We record these as a live stream on Thursdays and then our broadcast on Friday.
These end-of-the-week episodes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
One of the things I want to do last week.
jordan holmes
And for the first time last week, we figured out that we should do a wrap-up episode.
dan friesen
So we did the week that was last time.
And that took us about three hours.
jordan holmes
That does happen.
dan friesen
That was a disaster.
jordan holmes
That wasn't a bad episode.
dan friesen
It was a good episode.
It was a disaster for my life.
I was up until five or six in the morning editing.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah, that's right.
I do remember that.
dan friesen
So I was kind of hoping to avoid something like that, but I still wanted to do a week recap.
So what I decided to do is do a top 10 things you missed this week on Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Nope, I quit.
I am glad I'm going on vacation.
dan friesen
But I fucked up.
jordan holmes
Okay, good.
I'm back in, baby.
dan friesen
I completely fucked up.
I wasn't keeping track of anything.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
I just have an episode.
jordan holmes
You don't know what 10 is.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Unlike Kendrick, you are not on 10 yet.
dan friesen
No, sir, nor like, oh, God damn it.
unidentified
I don't know.
dan friesen
I can't remember his name.
There's a pro wrestler who his whole gimmick is the number 10.
Oh, boy.
I am deeply ashamed about this.
jordan holmes
That room is going to get you in 20 seconds.
dan friesen
Yeah, there's no doubt about it.
Yep.
So, Jordan, I'm going to walk you through this week a little bit.
And some of it is less interesting than other things.
Some of it is very exciting.
And we're going to start with Tuesday, March 20th.
Okay.
We don't have any clips of this, so you don't have to worry about it.
But Alex Jones had an interview with a guy named Mark Meachin on the show.
jordan holmes
Sounds like a trustworthy man.
dan friesen
He's a guy from the United Kingdom who got in trouble with the law because he made a video of himself teaching his dog how to Zeke Heil.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's right.
I heard about that from the internet and I immediately didn't care.
dan friesen
Yeah, I didn't care so hard.
The dog was trained to Heil whenever he said Zeke Heil or gas the Jews, right?
jordan holmes
I think it's the second one that bothers me more.
dan friesen
I think that's what bothered a lot of people, especially the Jewish organizations.
Right.
So the thing is, he goes on Alex Jones' show and they try and cry all this First Amendment nonsense.
unidentified
Yeah, fuck off.
dan friesen
Here's the thing: First Amendment doesn't exist in the UK.
That's part of the American Constitution.
So that argument is flawed.
jordan holmes
That said, in the 60s, he would have been on Johnny Carson so fast.
dan friesen
Maybe.
Maybe.
jordan holmes
Come on.
He always had an animal segment.
dan friesen
That's true.
jordan holmes
That guy's going to get up there.
dan friesen
That's a crazy animal treatment.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
Alex's argument.
jordan holmes
That is a crazy animal.
dan friesen
Alex's argument, and I wish I had this clip.
I now regret it because it's the craziest thing.
He's like, this guy is doing comedy.
He's better than John Cleese.
jordan holmes
I mean, now that's when we get into what period, John Cleese, are we talking about fair terms?
Because if you come at Faulty Towers, I'm going to murder you, Alex Jones.
dan friesen
I shan't.
He also says that he's funnier than Chaplin because Chaplin did the great dictator bit.
jordan holmes
He's funnier than Chaplin.
dan friesen
I don't think that the Great Dictator was necessarily straight-up comedy.
jordan holmes
I'm pretty sure that was actually incisive satire, if I recall correctly.
I think Chaplin was going hard at him.
dan friesen
Yeah, so Alex is trying to use a lot of that nonsense.
It doesn't really work.
And so the other thing that Mark's defense of himself relies on is he's like, I did this to annoy my girlfriend because she doesn't like Nazis.
And so I sit back and I think.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
I think that there's, first of all, this isn't a great relationship.
And I think, secondly.
jordan holmes
Right, you should definitely break up with him.
dan friesen
I think, secondly, like.
jordan holmes
Well, I don't like Nazis, but I am okay if my boyfriend teaches his dog how to do this.
dan friesen
No, no, no, because he was teaching the dog this as a prank on the girlfriend, to which I respond, how is that ever going to pay off?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
When are you going to just casually say gas the Jews?
Oh, then the dog hiles.
unidentified
No, no, no.
jordan holmes
It's like when you walk in the door and the thing of water falls on your head.
It's just like that.
Like she walks in the door and he's like, gas the Jews and the dog Zig Heils.
And she's like, I need to leave you now.
dan friesen
Now you've turned this into.
jordan holmes
Look, that's abuse.
That's abuse not on the dog.
Maybe on the dog.
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
On the girlfriend?
dan friesen
It's weird.
jordan holmes
On humanity?
dan friesen
It's a waste of time.
jordan holmes
I think it's just abuse.
dan friesen
It's a waste of time, certainly.
The point that I'm trying to make is if I trained my cat, let's say, to Zeke Kyle every time Susan said gas the Jews.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And you and I were sitting around and I was just waiting, it would never happen.
It would literally.
jordan holmes
If we were waiting for it to accidentally, for it to coincidentally come up.
We're doing this show, and we're talking about Alex Jones' anti-Semitism.
And I just go, oh, that'd be like if he said gas the Jews and then Celine just raises the palm.
That would be not a prank.
That would be the most terrifying moment of my life.
dan friesen
It would be more benign than this.
jordan holmes
I'd be like, wait, hold on.
unidentified
Dan?
jordan holmes
Did you train your cat to do that?
Or did you accidentally get a Nazi cat?
dan friesen
Can you train cats?
jordan holmes
Can you train Nazis?
dan friesen
Here's my other problem with Mark Meachin's defense of himself.
jordan holmes
It's terrible and stupid.
dan friesen
He's appearing from the UK, and there's someone else in the room, and that guy's name is Tommy Robinson.
No!
Yeah, so.
unidentified
What?
dan friesen
So I say, fuck you.
You're hanging out with Tommy Robinson.
Most of your defenses of not being a racist go flying out the window.
So Alex had another guest on his show that is a little bit more interesting from a geopolitical perspective.
And that is a gentleman by the name of Alexander Nikrasov.
This guy is a former, and I put this former in quotes, possibly, with a heavy question mark, Kremlin political advisor.
jordan holmes
That's not a great thing.
You generally don't get to be a former one of those.
A lot of former anything near the Kremlins are dead.
dan friesen
And he has experience working with the Russian government for approximately 20 years or so.
Great.
It goes back to even before Putin.
jordan holmes
Just like with the mob, they just let you go.
You know, they just let you retire.
They're like, hey, look, I get it.
You don't want to do this anymore.
Sure, you know a lot of secrets that other people could find out if they talk to you, but no big deal.
dan friesen
I've found tons of articles that he's written for places like Al Jazeera and other publications that just toe the Russian line.
Like he has one article about how Marie and Le Prin is awesome and how it's no big deal that the Russian bank gave her like $40 million.
jordan holmes
You know what's weird?
In the Lego movie, that's who that song was about.
dan friesen
Is that right?
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Every pen is awesome.
dan friesen
It was written by Alexander Nekrasov.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
So Alex has him on.
jordan holmes
Pharrell has a lot of weird friends.
dan friesen
Alex has him on the show, and this is the sort of hard-hitting journalism that Alex Jones does.
alex jones
So why do Russians love Putin so much?
unidentified
Great, great, great, great.
jordan holmes
I mean, you know what's interesting?
That's actually a very complicated question.
Because Putin, strangely enough, does enjoy a largely favorable view amongst Russians.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That is something that is true.
Like, if the weirdest part about that election that they had that was clearly fucking rigged.
dan friesen
Right.
We'll get to that a little later.
jordan holmes
I think if it wasn't rigged, he still would have won.
dan friesen
It's possible.
I mean, it's.
I don't know.
jordan holmes
I think there's a high likelihood that it would happen.
dan friesen
It's possible.
But what I think is more interesting is a little bit down the line in this interview, Alexander Nikrasov explains just what he used to do for the Russian government.
And this should set off...
jordan holmes
Hard rice and soft rice.
dan friesen
This should set off alarm bells in everyone but Alex Jones for some reason.
alexander nekrasov
I must accept this as well, Alex, that Putin and his crowd sometimes do and say things that are not great, you know, as a public relations exercise, I would say.
And I think there has to be more preparation in the sense that I was a troubleshooter for the Kremlin.
jordan holmes
I don't like that.
alexander nekrasov
My job was to fix things.
jordan holmes
I don't like that.
alexander nekrasov
My job was to go behind the scenes and basically resolve the problems before the big boys were meeting.
jordan holmes
That's a murder.
dan friesen
No, he's talking about being a public relations foreign media fixer.
He would go in and sneakily work behind the scenes.
He's a propagandist.
jordan holmes
Yeah, well, yeah.
I mean, yeah.
dan friesen
He just admitted on Alex Jones' show.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no.
dan friesen
His job would be to go and deal with issues in the media vis-à-vis propaganda when Putin and his associates would do things that the international community frowns upon.
jordan holmes
He was like Peter Capaldi in the thick of it or in the loop.
He was a media dark arts master, if you will.
dan friesen
It's yet another just like embarrassing example of Alex either just being completely oblivious of the people he surrounds himself with or just publicly revealing what his game is.
And I mean, I don't think in any way that he works for Russia or anything like that, but these pro-Putin tendencies are insane.
jordan holmes
I am just a big fan of how little respect this guy gives Alex's show insofar as he's just like, I'm going to lay it all out there.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I would go and lie to people.
unidentified
Especially media people.
jordan holmes
People who asked me questions.
Don't worry.
dan friesen
I'm retired.
jordan holmes
I would lie to them.
dan friesen
I'm retired.
jordan holmes
Media people.
People who work in media.
Like, let's say you were a radio host and Putin did something that you didn't like.
What I would do is before you ever even got close to talking about Putin, I would go to you and I would assuage your fears so you would be more pro-Putin.
Alex, I would never do that to you, though.
I'm going to tell you the straight truth.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
jordan holmes
Fucking bullshit.
dan friesen
So beyond that, the only other narratives that happen on this show are Alex gets a little bit into the Cambridge Analytica situation.
jordan holmes
I assume he does so very hard with a lot of data behind it and a lot of facts.
It just really gets into.
dan friesen
He just screams about how Facebook's really the bad guy.
jordan holmes
But that's not terribly wrong.
dan friesen
Well, it is wrong in perspective, but it's correct to a point.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
That's a good way to put it.
Facebook does suck, but that's...
jordan holmes
You shouldn't be defending Cambridge Analytica to get to Facebook.
dan friesen
You're muddying.
You're muddying the conversation.
jordan holmes
You should be hating Cambridge Analytica and then adding in Facebook sucks.
dan friesen
Also, on the 20th, the day before, or I believe in the early morning hours, I'm not entirely sure exactly when it happened.
But that bomb went off at the San Antonio FedEx Center.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And Alex tries to pretend that this doesn't undo all of his narratives about his secret sources about the Austin River.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Because all that stuff about, like, it's built on the porch.
unidentified
It takes 20 minutes for the guy to cook the bomb on the porch.
jordan holmes
Well, it was a FedEx worker who did it.
dan friesen
Oh, it must have been.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So all that stuff is just.
jordan holmes
You know, the famous FedEx porch?
dan friesen
The FedEx porch box.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
Whenever you go to FedEx, before you drop the package off, you hang out on the porch.
You sit on a rocking chair next to the other FedEx porch guys.
dan friesen
Indeed.
jordan holmes
It's all good.
dan friesen
Alex continues a little bit of like, we've got to use covert action against the globalists and what have you.
He's kind of actually advocating for Trump working behind the scenes to take people out, which is a little upsetting.
But again, he's still just using that shit language that he uses to avoid responsibility.
jordan holmes
Politically.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So now that we've moved on from the 20th, we're about to get to the 21st, which would be Wednesday, if you're nasty.
But before we get to that, we need to.
jordan holmes
What would you call it if you aren't nasty?
dan friesen
Wednesday.
Weddedness Day.
jordan holmes
Wednesses Day.
dan friesen
Before we get there, we've got to hear an out-of-context drop from the 21st.
alex jones
Well, you can be assured that you're going to be getting that Attorney General job as you go on, not just the interim.
And you're going to be assured maybe a Supreme Court seat if you'd like it.
How's that sound, my little baby?
I'm a policy wonk.
dan friesen
Oops.
Oh, no.
IT started fucking up there.
jordan holmes
Is that his Ruth Bader Ginsburg impression?
Indeed, it is.
Is that Bernie Sanders?
dan friesen
That's Bernie, baby.
No, that's Bill Clinton, right?
Of course.
That's not actually all that interesting, but I always like it when he does an impression that you've got to throw it in.
You can't miss an opportunity for his SNL reel.
jordan holmes
At least.
unidentified
I would pay a million dollars to see that audition tape.
dan friesen
At least that's closer to the acceptable impression.
jordan holmes
Like if Alex spent a couple of years in the Groundlings and Lauren just kind of was like, we're just going to give everybody a shot.
And I would watch that audition tape so fast.
dan friesen
Jesus, that would be amazing.
Oh, so good.
So, on the 21st.
jordan holmes
Also, piece of advice, Alex?
Take a classic Groundlings.
Give it a shot.
unidentified
Oh.
jordan holmes
That'd be a good idea.
unidentified
Oh.
jordan holmes
Oh, that'd be a great idea.
dan friesen
To the chat room.
It's wine.
We got red wine.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So on the 21st.
I got to say, I did a lot of talking and explaining over the 20th because it's not that great.
The 21st and 22nd feature some high-end bullshit.
Like, ooh.
Like, some of the stuff.
jordan holmes
Bespoke bullshit?
unidentified
Indeed.
Okay.
dan friesen
Indeed.
This was tailored for Alex.
This bullshit.
This stuff is like, it's kind of in the league of stuff that I've like, I wait for bullshit like this because it's just, it's the kind of bullshit you can sink your teeth into.
It's the bullshit you can laugh at.
Like, why are you doing this?
Right.
And it's the kind of.
jordan holmes
And it made you read six different books.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
There we go.
unidentified
There we go.
jordan holmes
That's your bullshit right there.
dan friesen
It's the kind of stuff where you can look at it and you can know that he knows he's lying.
And then you can look at it and be like, okay, now why are you lying?
Which is a much more interesting conversation or interesting train of thought than just, is he lying about?
jordan holmes
Oh, does he know he's lying?
Exactly.
No, that's what's really been lacking in the present for us for so long.
It's just like, he's just sad, you know?
dan friesen
Well, it's pathetic lies about straw man versions of his lawsuits and stuff like that.
And it's just like, hey, yeah, of course you're doing this.
jordan holmes
This is too transparent.
dan friesen
Self-protection and shit like that.
jordan holmes
Now we get into the now we get into the good shit.
dan friesen
So Alex has found a story that's a couple days old, and he's shocked that he hasn't heard about it yet.
And he delivers it with the most immediacy anyone has ever delivered.
jordan holmes
The piano playing cat died.
dan friesen
No, it's not that.
jordan holmes
It's not that one?
dan friesen
No, it's not that.
jordan holmes
I assumed it would be.
dan friesen
You know what I want to do?
You know what I want to do at some point?
Maybe we don't do it this episode.
But you rattle off things that you think Alex should cover.
And I'm like, it's coming up.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
Because there's a lot of news.
jordan holmes
We'll do a classic yay or nay segment.
dan friesen
Because there's a lot of news, and a lot of it doesn't get covered.
jordan holmes
Coming or going?
dan friesen
This one is going.
alex jones
It just gets crazier.
Look at this.
Daily Caller.
It's a footnote in the Washington Post.
The top investigator.
Into the Seth Rich murder was shot twice.
dan friesen
I want to hold off there really quick because I wonder what that means.
jordan holmes
I'm already in wondering what top, like the best investigator, the guy who's leading the team.
Like, what are we talking about, top investigator-wise?
dan friesen
Who knows?
It's never really spelled out.
alex jones
The Washington Post.
The top investigator.
Into the Seth Rich murder was shot twice in the back.
dan friesen
Once in the butt, actually.
alex jones
He got away with his dachshund badger hound in his arms.
And then the person began trying to run him over, a Marine with the Department of Energy.
Yeah, when the Hitman comes, that's what they are.
jordan holmes
A Marine with the Department of Energy?
alex jones
And so it's just next level.
I don't want to get this individual on.
He's been the prominent lawyer putting out the rewards, investigating, doing all this.
Back when the family wanted that, it's still an unsolved murder.
And evidence mounts that there were laptops and the DNC.
dan friesen
Real quick, we'll get back to all this.
jordan holmes
Evidence has not mounted.
dan friesen
We'll get back to all this.
But real quick, Alex is trying to conflate a number of things because Seth Rich and his parents, I guess Seth Rich didn't.
His parents did because he was dead at the time.
But his parents put out a reward for information about people who killed him.
Yeah.
And so did this guy.
And Alex is conflating the two, trying to pretend that they're the same reward, whereas they're different.
But anyway.
alex jones
And cover-ups and all the stuff going on, the family suing Fox News for questioning.
dan friesen
Not for questioning.
alex jones
Alex Jones, Fox News sued for conspiracy theories.
New York Daily News.
Trends like that.
Asking questions.
Why, Jones will probably think it's a big deal.
This lawyer got shot twice in the back.
dan friesen
Once in the ass.
alex jones
He thought he was in a documents hiccup.
And when he went under the orange cone to get the documents, he got shot twice in the back.
He ran with his dog in his arms.
And the feller coming after him who's been arrested didn't stop, started running over him.
But he jumped between cars after being rammed twice and lived.
dan friesen
So Alex screams about this narrative for pretty much the entirety of the show.
It just keeps coming up.
And he's like, that's all the information he gives on it.
You basically heard all of it, but just imagine him screaming.
jordan holmes
For a while.
dan friesen
Yeah.
He has Dr. Group on later, and he screams at him about it.
It's like, why are you telling your chiropractor?
This is nonsense.
jordan holmes
Well, if he gets shot in the ass, you're going to need an adjustment.
dan friesen
Let's spell that out.
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
So what do you think about this narrative?
What do you think about this story?
Is it scary?
jordan holmes
Well, if I understand it correctly, the top investigator.
dan friesen
Right, which is a nebulous idea to begin with.
Right.
jordan holmes
He was shot twice in the back.
dan friesen
Let's put investigator in quotes.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
Does he even work for the police?
dan friesen
No.
Good God, no.
jordan holmes
Then he's not an investigator at all.
dan friesen
No, he's a crazy dude.
jordan holmes
He's so big.
You couldn't even call him a.
Does he have his private investigator's license?
dan friesen
I don't think so.
jordan holmes
Then he's not an investigator, period.
dan friesen
He's a lobbyist.
jordan holmes
He's a hobbyist.
dan friesen
He's a lobbyist and a hobbyist.
jordan holmes
Wait, he's a lobbyist?
dan friesen
We'll get back to that in a minute.
jordan holmes
What do you mean we're going to get back to that?
That seems like the most important part of this.
dan friesen
It's not.
Well, maybe it is, but I can't prove it.
His name is Jack Berkman.
And Alex is trying to pretend that he's working in an official capacity as an investigator.
jordan holmes
Right.
He's clearly not.
dan friesen
He's not.
He is just someone who decided to take it upon himself to start an investigation into the Seth Ridge.
jordan holmes
Now, you see, the problem therein is that now we go from it's a conspiracy to you getting shot twice in the back to like, hey, dude, you're probably fucking pissing people off, and maybe you have getting shot in the back coming at you.
dan friesen
Well, hold on.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
So now the guy who shot him and tried to run him down with a car.
jordan holmes
A Marine from the Department of Energy.
dan friesen
I didn't look into that because I don't really care.
unidentified
I think that's a Marine Le Pen from the Department of Energy.
dan friesen
I don't know, man.
I don't care.
I know that he's not involved in that.
He's a crazy dude.
Fair enough.
I know that because he's a guy named Kevin Doherty, and Alex is trying to pretend that he's an assassin who was sent to kill him.
jordan holmes
A Marine from the Department of Energy.
dan friesen
Yeah, he's trying to pretend he's an assassin sent to kill Jack Berkman because he wouldn't stop investigating the case.
However, if you actually read the articles about this, it's not a political hit job, but it's a case of one crazy person attacking another crazy person.
Here's the quote about this.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Jack Berkman told the Washington Post that he had hired Kevin Doherty to help him build a psychological profile of Rich's killer.
Berkman fired Doherty in July 2017 and moved on to investigating the FBI.
jordan holmes
This can't be real.
dan friesen
In February, Berkman was contacted by a man who claimed to have information on then deputy director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe.
Now we'll get back to out of the quote: spoiler alert, that guy didn't have information.
Oh, it was Dougherty planning to kill him.
jordan holmes
What?
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
This is awesome.
I am now, fuck, fuck everything but this story.
dan friesen
This is my favorite change you've ever had.
jordan holmes
Wait, so, okay.
All right.
Now, instead of the top investigator getting shot twice in the back and running away with his dachshund.
Yes.
Now we have a random-ass dude who was hired to look up information on Seth Rich.
And then he was fired from doing that.
And then later, he was given a contact who said, If you meet with me, I'll give you information on Andrew McCabe.
Yes.
But it turns out that the guy who fired him in the first place was the guy who was sending him that in order to murder him clandestinely.
dan friesen
I think you have some of your pronoun reference wrong, but generally, roughly speaking, that's kind of the circumstance.
Jack Berkman decided to investigate Seth Rich's murder.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And he might have had a reason to do so, which we'll get into in a minute.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
He hired Kevin Doherty, who probably was an ex-Marine and might have worked for the Department of Energy at some point, but is now a crazy person.
Worked with Rick Perry.
He's beyond all that.
He is not employed by those people anymore.
They get into a little bit of a beef while they're working together because Jack Berkman thinks that Kevin Doherty is trying to turn the project into being about himself.
He thinks that he's grandiose and in interviews and stuff like that is taking over the project.
jordan holmes
See, now that's something that a completely not grandiose and paranoid person would think.
dan friesen
Well, paranoid people would never investigate a, you know, of course not.
jordan holmes
And they definitely wouldn't get sidetracked because they thought the other guy was getting too much attention.
Right.
That's a normal thing to do.
dan friesen
So that comes to a head in July 2017, and Berkman fires Doherty.
At which point, because there's not much to this Seth Rich conspiracy nonsense.
jordan holmes
Do you mean nothing?
dan friesen
Right.
He ends up moving on to investigating the FBI.
A little bit down the road.
jordan holmes
Yeah, because if you're going to go crazy, might as well take it all the way to the top.
dan friesen
A little bit down the road, he gets contacted by an anonymous source who, spoiler alert, is Doherty trying to lure him to a location so he can kill him.
That's what's going on.
It's the.
Jordan, what we call this is the cost of doing business in the conspiracy world.
You're going to end up working with dangerous, crazy people who might want to kill you at some point.
unidentified
That is spectacular.
I don't know if the story has made me feel quite so.
jordan holmes
Look, I get it.
I'm against people getting shot, but it's pretty hilarious because he lived.
Seeing them cannibalize each other, that's kind of funny to me.
dan friesen
He lived.
He only has like a broken wrist or something like that.
It's not even a big deal.
And so, I mean, if he died, it would be a broken wrist from getting his ass shot.
You know what?
All the stories I could find don't even really confirm that he was shot.
They just say he says he was shot.
jordan holmes
Which we can confirm means he was not shot.
dan friesen
But it could mean that it was like a BB gun or something like that, or like a pellet gun or something.
I don't know.
jordan holmes
So it may not even been, it may not even have been a murder plan, but it was more just like, I'm going to beat the shit out of this guy.
dan friesen
It might have been a blow dart.
I don't know.
jordan holmes
That'd be fun.
dan friesen
There's all sorts of.
jordan holmes
Now that's cartoon, and I love it.
dan friesen
There's all sorts of unknowns about it, but what I do know is this has nothing to do with Seth Rich.
It has to do with a petty squabble between two crazy dudes.
jordan holmes
How do you get named a top investigator into the Seth Rich?
dan friesen
Just be in the news.
Alex Jones will call you that.
He doesn't give a shit.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
So I told you he was a lobbyist.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
Now, here's where this is important.
Alex Jones doesn't bring this up.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
But it turns out that Jack Berkman is a Trump-connected lobbyist who in the past has raised money for Rick Gates.
And if you don't remember who that is, Rick Gates is Paul Manafort's associate and Trump campaign manager who recently pled guilty to lying to the FBI and conspiracy against the United States.
So.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So we've got the most trustworthy people involved with this story.
dan friesen
I don't know.
I don't know 100% if that's connected or anything like that, but it's certainly interesting.
jordan holmes
So that is very interesting.
dan friesen
At this point.
jordan holmes
Why isn't that?
See, now that seems like a like if you've how many stories did you read about this where they went into how insane and ludicrous this is detail by detail?
dan friesen
Almost none.
I had to piece it together from a bunch of stories.
jordan holmes
Now that seems like a crazy awesome story.
Like if Wapo, which is how I abbreviate Washington Post, I know them personally.
dan friesen
They're friends.
jordan holmes
If Washington posted a story that was like, crazy people doing crazy shit like that, I'm fucking reading that all day.
They got to figure out how to do clickbait if they're going to do it right.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Come on, man.
dan friesen
So I agree with you.
This story, on its merits, bananas.
Juicy.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
But unfortunately, Alex doesn't really know how to make this suspicious.
Because he can't.
jordan holmes
You don't even look.
unidentified
I mean, you don't need to fit it into your narrative.
jordan holmes
If you've got this story, fucking throw down.
dan friesen
No, he does, because the reality of the situation points fingers at Trump, at Rick Gates.
It points fingers at why is this Trump-connected lobbyist being a top Seth Rich investigator in the first place?
What is going on here?
If you really look into the craziness between the two, you kind of come to a damning indictment of the mindset that drives you down that road to begin with.
jordan holmes
See, now, here we go.
Let's go reverse engineering this.
Let's rewrite the narrative for Alex Jones.
False flag.
The guy who is associated...
It was the Dachshund's fault?
Well, of course it was.
The Dachshund killed Nunk.
The guy who is associated with Rick Gates, clearly being set up in order to discredit anybody who has ever hired anybody who's ever worked for Trump in the past, right?
So now you've got a whole new narrative to go down.
This is a fascinating story.
You can wind this in with your other narratives and you can still tell the truth, which is juicy and interesting.
dan friesen
You might be close to what he thinks as is, but he just can't really figure out how to work this.
So you had your version.
Here's his.
alex jones
WikiLeaks.
jordan holmes
Not good.
alex jones
Just come out.
Julian Assange and said, we don't give away sources, but yes, you should look at him as a source.
unidentified
That's not what he is.
alex jones
We are offering a reward for his murder.
jordan holmes
Doesn't sound like WikiLeaks.
dan friesen
He didn't say you should treat him as a source.
Julian Assange did try to pretend that he was the source in a way just to cause political trouble.
There's an article that came out literally just before we started recording where it's very clear now that Gusifer 2.0 was a GRU Russian intelligence cutout.
Yeah.
Because they went over all of the times.
Like clear.
jordan holmes
Clear-cut, no, no, no, no, bona fides about this.
dan friesen
There's an article in the Daily Beast about this that just came out right before we started recording.
And they were going over all of the times that emails were sent or any IP addresses were logged.
And every time it went to a VPN server that was lodged in France to get around IP address stuff.
But one time when he logged in, he forgot to use the VPN settings, and that IP address linked directly back to GRU.
jordan holmes
Fuck yes.
dan friesen
So it is now entirely.
jordan holmes
Good on you, Daily Beast.
That's some fucking great journalism shit.
dan friesen
Well, as long as that story is accurate, which it seems like it is, I don't know.
We'll see how the reporting goes in the next couple days and what have you.
But if that story is true, then Gusifer 2.0 is a Russian intelligence cutout persona.
Roger Stone has interacted with Goosefer 2.0.
You've been very clear about it.
jordan holmes
That's true.
The crimes have all been committed.
dan friesen
And Goosefer 2.0 has said that he sent the emails directly to WikiLeaks, a tweet that Wikileaks themselves retweeted.
And if that's the case, then Russian intelligence gave the emails that they hacked from the DNC directly to Wikileaks, which does kind of complicate things for Julian Assange.
jordan holmes
Nah.
I mean, okay.
So when the fish people write the histories of our time, this is like, and I've said this before, but unqualified, Russia did a great job.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, I should have signed into that VPN service.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, absolutely.
But it's because of that discovery that we can realize how great a job they did at pulling all of this shit off.
Like, this is crazy.
This is movie-level spy bullshit that you don't expect to be able to do.
dan friesen
This is trilogy level.
This isn't one movie.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
This is fucking solid shit.
Like, I mean, of course, they've committed so many treasons and so forth.
And we're like, we're at like the more you learn about it, we're kind of at hot war-level crimes that they well, thankfully, we got John Bolton in his mind.
Yeah, I know, so we'll never have to worry about it.
Yeah.
dan friesen
Someone who has actively said that the United Nations doesn't exist except in as much as we want them to.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
By the way, that tease that you gave that this might be our last live episode for a while is now going to be on every single episode because we're all going to die.
Bolton is a fucking insane person.
dan friesen
Without exaggeration, this is one of the more fucked up staff decisions he could have possibly made.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
And I'm really excited to see, because I can't imagine Steve Pieczenik won't be on the show tomorrow.
And Steve Pieczenik is going to be furious.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
He hates John Bolton.
And from conversations that I've had with folk, you know, just friends, not sources or townspeople.
We believe that this will have to be a breaking point for Steve Pieczenik.
Like, he thinks they'll turn on Trump if Trump is in bed with Bolton.
He hates John Bolton.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
So this could lead to.
jordan holmes
We shall see.
dan friesen
This could lead to.
jordan holmes
If there's one thing that I have learned in these past few years, it is that nobody on the right believes in anything.
dan friesen
Steve Pieczenik isn't on the right.
He's chaotic.
jordan holmes
That's true.
unidentified
He's above all.
jordan holmes
He's chaotic evil.
dan friesen
He is above all that in a way that Alex wishes he could be.
Right.
I believe that pretty wholeheartedly.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
And I've been convinced that Steve Pieczenik's guiding principles are being violated by the behavior that Trump is using.
And Steve will have to turn on Alex.
I can't wait.
If he's not on tomorrow, I'm going to be furious.
But anyway, Alex is trying to weave this Seth Rich narrative.
He's brought the WikiLeaks part, and now we've discussed why that's pretty stupid.
Right.
And he's also just lying.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
alex jones
Murray's being discovered.
jordan holmes
Spinning a yarn.
alex jones
And what happened to Seth Rich?
Shot multiple times in the back.
jordan holmes
Once in the butt.
alex jones
Nothing taken.
The family came out.
I saw him on the news.
Held up pictures.
Said, we want to find out who killed our son.
dan friesen
Very suspicious behavior for a family.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
alex jones
You bought the article from this week.
Headline.
Fox News, Alex Jones sued.
New York Daily News.
It's the photo.
jordan holmes
I'm so mad he didn't get top belly.
alex jones
With the reward that she's handing out.
dan friesen
That's him.
jordan holmes
Great staccato.
dan friesen
So bad.
But he's trying to compare and, again, conflate the two rewards that were offered.
The family's one and then this Parkman, Berkman, whatever his fucking name was.
jordan holmes
Who gives a shit?
dan friesen
Berkman, Jack Berkman's nonsense.
He's trying to conflate the two and it's just stupid.
unidentified
The reward flyers.
alex jones
And so people start investigating.
dan friesen
So there he's saying.
jordan holmes
I'm just loving his rhythm of speech right now.
dan friesen
It's rough.
unidentified
If they see he's like a beat poet?
jordan holmes
That's what he's doing right now?
dan friesen
No, it's someone who doesn't have.
jordan holmes
No, he has no idea.
No, he's got nothing.
dan friesen
He's trying to figure out a way to go on.
He's trying to weave this into a coherent sentence.
jordan holmes
It's hard.
dan friesen
It's not working.
unidentified
To talk like this all the time.
dan friesen
It'd be very annoying, and I hope you stop right now.
But what he did right there.
he did right there is he's saying that like they came out and offered this reward and so people started investigating yes and i would argue the top investigators started investigating i I would argue that that's not why people give rewards.
They give rewards for information that is already had by people, not as a call for investigative vigilanteism.
jordan holmes
I believe actually they hired the Pinkertons.
Is that what they did?
dan friesen
It's not like, you know, it's not a call for amateur sleuths.
Right.
Hey, any of you guys want to make your name in the game?
You want to make a big scoop?
jordan holmes
Get out.
It's an ad in the back of an adventure comic book in the 1940s.
dan friesen
That's the way he's presenting it.
It's like, yeah, yeah.
The family came out and gave a reward.
Of course they're going to be fake investigators coming out.
jordan holmes
Do you like the Hardy Boys?
Have you ever wanted to be one?
dan friesen
So ridiculous.
alex jones
People start looking into this and then they get sued.
The investigators you see on TV that the family's winning weather that they say they're finding evidence of DNC connections.
Then suddenly those people change their stories.
dan friesen
Well, that's interesting because who you're talking about is Rod Wheeler, who was a guy who freelanced for Fox News, who has since sued Fox News.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And Ed Batowski and Malia Zimmerman, he sued them for using quotes that were not from him.
They falsely attributed information as to coming from him.
And that's why his story changed.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Because Fox News lied the first time.
jordan holmes
It tends to change whenever you've got legal action coming at you.
alex jones
Right.
dan friesen
So he's like, hey, why are all these people who are finding evidence of the Clintons being involved in this changing their story?
Well, because the first story was a fucking lie.
Right.
jordan holmes
And then the law is involved.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
And you're not allowed to lie to the law.
dan friesen
And no one's getting sued for this.
jordan holmes
That's considered also a crime.
dan friesen
No one's getting sued for investigating Seth Rich or looking into this.
There's thousands and thousands of fucking people on the internet who are digging in deep, who are completely within their legal right.
The people who are getting sued are Ed Batowski, Malia Zimmerman, and executives at Fox News for a conspiracy that they clearly engaged in.
You know, based on emails that are in the lawsuit that are damning.
jordan holmes
If you are one of these Republicans, right?
Shouldn't the staggering number of lawsuits being filed against you kind of like when you take a step back and look at all of the people you support and how many lawsuits have been filed against them recently, shouldn't you start to think, ooh, maybe.
dan friesen
Nah, you're an idiot.
jordan holmes
Okay, fair enough.
That is a good defense.
dan friesen
What you should do is you should see that as proof that you're in the right direction.
Oh, that the globalists are attacking you for being horrible.
jordan holmes
Of course, of course.
They're trying to take you down.
dan friesen
That's Alex's cosmology.
I mean, he talks about it all the time.
Uses like the analogy of World War I bombers that didn't have radar, and they would only know that they were above the target whenever they're getting shot at.
You know, it's like, I know it's time to drop the payload whenever I'm getting shot at.
He says this in so many different ways.
Like, whenever people are attacking me, that's where I know I'm doing the right thing.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
People might be attacking you sometimes because you're way out of line.
jordan holmes
Interesting factoid.
Do you know why the whole Carrots Improve Your Vision thing came about?
dan friesen
Conspiracy of rabbits.
jordan holmes
No, it was propaganda put out by the British government to hide the fact that they had discovered or that they had started using radar.
So, in order to make sure that people, or no, in order to kind of sew doubt into people about whether or not radar actually existed for planes, they said that their best pilots were eating a lot of carrots, and that's why their vision was better.
dan friesen
That's fascinating.
jordan holmes
It is fascinating.
dan friesen
I had no idea about it.
jordan holmes
It's a fascinating factoid.
Thank you very much, Dan.
dan friesen
I appreciate what you bring.
jordan holmes
Move on.
dan friesen
I appreciate what you bring to the show.
I'm such an asshole.
jordan holmes
I'm going to be on vacation here soon.
So, there you are.
dan friesen
Yeah, this is your farewell.
jordan holmes
You're not going to get that from other people, Dan.
dan friesen
Hogan's on the street.
unidentified
Ain't no co-host going to come out of that shit.
dan friesen
Especially with that sort of weird.
That was like a person from the bayou who's yelling.
So, at this point, we're sort of done with Alex's Seth Rich bullshit narrative.
It goes on throughout the show, but we just took care of it up top.
At this point, Alex gets into a narrative that he has.
jordan holmes
You got to stick with that.
Like, there's so many of those narratives that just won't go away because they genuinely have nothing.
Like, they literally have nothing to go on.
Like, they have so much nothing, they can't even come up with a new fake narrative because every narrative points back to the reality of we got fucked.
There were spies.
Everything is fucked.
dan friesen
It's Jerome Courcy style, baby.
They made a mem.
They're running with the mem.
unidentified
Mem.
dan friesen
So, at this point, Alex jumps to another mem.
Mem.
And if you've ever listened to our show or ever listened to Alex Jones' show and you have a memory, then you'll hear you will hear a lot of familiar stuff in this.
Pretty much every other week or so, Alex Jones will start screaming about how the globalists are fleeing to their armored redoubts.
jordan holmes
Of course, somebody has to.
dan friesen
Today, here on this 21st of March, 2018, no exception.
alex jones
Here's the deal: what?
My own instincts say I should be in Montana or something and digging in with a transmission system there.
dan friesen
He's gone on a rant about how if you can't afford to get to New Zealand or Kauai, then people are going to Montana, Utah.
jordan holmes
Alex, you should not be in America.
If you are at all worried, go to a place where there's poor extradition laws.
dan friesen
No, because his conception is that the globalists are going to kick off urban chaos and weaponized diseases and stuff like that.
jordan holmes
That sounds fun.
dan friesen
He has Dr. Group on.
jordan holmes
Dr. Group on.
dan friesen
That's fun.
unidentified
There we go.
dan friesen
And they talk about Weapon X. Or not Weapon X. That's Wolverine.
That's Wolverine.
Jesus.
unidentified
They talk about disease X. Snicked, snicked, my friend, Dan.
dan friesen
Do you know about Disease X?
jordan holmes
I don't know what Disease X.
unidentified
So they talk about Disease X. Is that the Disease X Y axis?
jordan holmes
Like, what are we talking about here?
dan friesen
No, it's something that the World Health Organization is warning about.
They were warning about the breakout of Disease X. Dr. Group says he's done a lot of research under this.
jordan holmes
Our famed chiropractic naturopath.
Yeah, the two of them does a lot of research into Disease X.
dan friesen
They have a bunch of conversation that sort of leads you to believe that they think it's a thing when it's not.
It's a designation for everything that's not on the World Health Organization's radar that could be a deadly problem.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, right.
dan friesen
They put out a list every year of like the same thing.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
It's playing the field, basically.
jordan holmes
Which, by the way, that fucking I hate that that's a ugh, whatever.
dan friesen
What?
Oh.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Unknown unknowns, like that fucking guy.
dan friesen
Rumsfeld.
jordan holmes
Fucking God, he's such a he's one of the most evil psychopaths, I think, in the history of the world.
dan friesen
So I agree, but back to Disease X.
jordan holmes
Yeah, sorry about that.
dan friesen
John Arne Roddingen, chief executive of the Research Council of Norway and scientific advisor to the World Health Organization Committee, explains Disease X thus.
Quote, history tells us that it is likely that the next big outbreak will be something we have not seen before.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
It may seem strange that adding an X, but the point is to make sure we prepare and plan flexibly in terms of vaccines and diagnostic tests.
We want to see plug-and-play platforms developed which will work for any or a wide number of diseases.
Systems that allow us to create countermeasures at speed.
So what they're just talking about is the ability...
jordan holmes
Plan for the best, prepare for the worst.
dan friesen
Yes, 100%.
jordan holmes
Very simple.
dan friesen
And so they get it.
unidentified
Why do they keep fucking making these people are so bad at naming shit?
dan friesen
No, Disease X is.
jordan holmes
This goes right back to Agenda 21 when it's like, god damn it, stop naming it shit.
Where conspiracy theorists are going to be like, holy fuck!
dan friesen
They're clearly talking about a disease.
They're trying to create.
jordan holmes
I know.
Just be like, this is, we're planning for shit we don't know because historically humans don't know everything, so we don't know everything.
dan friesen
Well, and Alex also talks about how clearly there's like vaccines and like they're trying to create a superbug that's going to kill us.
And that's what this is.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But in the article that talks about it, they clearly say that, quote, as the ecosystem and human habitats change, there's always the risk of disease jumping from animals to humans.
It's a natural process, and it is vital that we're aware and prepare.
It's probably the greatest risk.
jordan holmes
Yeah, of course.
dan friesen
They go on to explain that because of the way the climate's changing and because the way that things are becoming more compact, that we run the risk of being much more in contact with animals that have diseases that we haven't experienced before.
I mean, Ebola is an example of it.
There's a hundred examples of terrible diseases that have jumped over from animals.
jordan holmes
The story that I think about most currently is the one of the there was a doctor, I can't remember when, and I can't remember his name because I am shitty at this.
But he was the first doctor who kind of started doing research into why it is doctors were killing so many people.
And what he found was that so many doctors were going legitimately directly from an autopsy to a birth, going directly from all of these autopsies to other shit.
And his solution was like, hey, guys, wash your fucking hands.
Now, that, of course, destroyed his career because doctors were insisting that, no, you don't need to do that and you never need to worry about it because doctors are the best people in the world.
And so they spent their entire fucking, like his entire life was destroyed for coming up with the single best idea any doctor maybe has ever come up with in history.
So when you talk about something like Disease X, that's that guy going to be like, hey, we know we fuck up.
We know that there's something that we need to do because something is coming around the corner because it's always coming around the corner.
So maybe plan ahead for once.
And guys like Alex Jones are the same guys who are like, nah, no, no, no, don't worry about it.
Put all your bodies in the same thing and then poop next to where you live.
dan friesen
Well, well said.
jordan holmes
Same shit.
dan friesen
I think that's perfectly put.
Now back to the part about how the globalists.
jordan holmes
Sorry, sorry for that.
I'm off on a weird tangent.
I'm off on carrots and wash your fucking hands, Dave.
dan friesen
I think that made total sense.
But we had that sort of sidetrack started with talking about Dr. Group and Disease X. That's right.
And it was just my way of explaining that Alex Jones is pretty convinced that the globalists are planning to flee.
And we'll go back to this clip.
Okay.
alex jones
And alternately going in between.
Because when the hammer drops, a war could trigger it.
Stock market collapse.
We're talking weeks till the EBT cards don't work and everything blows sky high.
And I can go on for hours describing this.
The globalists are then going to shoot out transformers all over the country.
They're going to then foment antifa and communists pouring out, burning down buildings, attacking police stations, so civilization breaks down.
They're going to have package bombs going off just every day in every major city.
We told you this is all coming.
I don't know.
This is a psyop by the globalist here with some points.
unidentified
Who knows?
jordan holmes
Could be.
unidentified
Holy shit.
alex jones
Psyop.
But I know this.
Here's the article up on Infowars.com.
DC officials flock to doomsday camps.
What do they know that we don't?
dan friesen
So this links back to an article in the Washington Examiner, and it's just a puff piece.
It's just one of these.
You see these articles all the time.
jordan holmes
I'm such a huge fan of the What Do They Know That We Don't Know article.
dan friesen
That's probably the Infowars headline.
But be that as it may, I read over this, and it's just basically, I would describe it as a buzz marketing piece for this guy's, what's it called?
I can't remember the name of his place, but it's some place where they sell Studio 54.
They sell bug out shit, you know, like or like a disaster bunker spots.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And you see this over and over again.
jordan holmes
Tuesday preppers.
dan friesen
Yeah, you see this over and over again if you follow the conspiracy community.
Something will happen.
The world will get pretty anxious about it.
Then stories will pop up about, hey, all the elites are buying bungalows under the ground.
You saw it with the.
jordan holmes
You don't even know where to hide your guns.
We're way back there now.
dan friesen
Right.
You saw that in the Mayan Apocalypse.
You saw Alex pushing these narratives over and over and over again through the years.
I read the article.
It's the exact same thing.
The idea that DC officials are leaving is based on a quote from the guy in the article that says that unnamed interest in inflating the importance of people from unnamed three-letter organizations are coming in.
jordan holmes
The FBI, the CIA, the NSA, SVU?
dan friesen
Yes, that's all of them.
And in the absence of any real information, I'm going to take this one as a, oh, I've seen this article before.
I've seen Alex say these things before.
I don't give a shit.
jordan holmes
Did somebody copy and paste this?
dan friesen
Yeah, basically.
But this time.
jordan holmes
It's real?
dan friesen
Something is different.
jordan holmes
What?
unidentified
And the timing is just too suspicious.
Okay.
alex jones
So that's just one article.
But let me give you the real article.
This is today.
jordan holmes
I wonder where he has it.
alex jones
Guess where Obama is with no fanfare and no speeches?
jordan holmes
Where is he?
alex jones
Obama is in New Zealand for meetings, golf, but no public talks.
And who's he meeting with?
I wonder.
jordan holmes
The Lord of the Rings tour guy.
alex jones
Associated Press Reports.
Former President Barack Obama arrived Wednesday for a three-day visit in New Zealand, where he'll speak with community leaders, meet the prime minister, and play golf.
The seasons, the sessions will be closed to the public and media except for an official welcome ceremony Thursday.
Obama does not plan to answer questions from reporters.
dan friesen
He's a citizen.
Why would he?
alex jones
And then it just goes on to what he's going to be doing there, meeting with community leaders, business leaders, and the prime minister.
And to work with the Obama Foundation.
That means the Obama Foundation building him an armored fortress as an escape.
jordan holmes
That sounds right.
dan friesen
That's not a huge leap.
jordan holmes
That is not a huge leap at all.
He's working with the Obama Foundation.
dan friesen
Right.
Who is building him a huge escape worker in New Zealand?
This is really popular in the conservation.
jordan holmes
Where would you build your escape work?
dan friesen
Here's the thing.
Peter Thiel bought a ton of land in New Zealand as a.
jordan holmes
Oh, I should have pinned him in my Who You Should Murder If You're a Mass Murderer article I put out today.
dan friesen
Peter Thiel should also be there.
I shouldn't have retweeted that.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
jordan holmes
No, you absolutely.
dan friesen
Should have read that first.
jordan holmes
You should not have done that.
It is a very damning article.
I will not be allowed to run for any kind of office.
dan friesen
Not even Alderman.
Dog catcher.
Do they still reluctant that?
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
So Peter Thiel owns a huge plot of land in New Zealand, and he said that it's as a sort of backup, last resort kind of thing to run away from when society collapses.
unidentified
Right, right.
dan friesen
And this has become sort of a mem in the conspiracy world that everybody is making these fortresses in foreign places.
And I find very little compelling evidence behind it other than this one story about Peter Thiel and rank paranoia that we all feel.
jordan holmes
Right.
In all honesty, I have asked myself the question of like knowing that the massive disaster is coming, regardless of what you think it is.
Like, no, no, no.
Climate change is going to massively restructure the world.
Like, regardless of how bad you think it is.
dan friesen
But we're flexible.
jordan holmes
Right.
What I'm saying is, I would want to figure out where it is that I would put my redoubt, so to speak.
And you want fresh water.
Right.
You want good pizza delivery.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
No, not anymore.
You know how to make pizza at home.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's true.
dan friesen
You don't need that.
jordan holmes
Well, then I need a grocery store.
I need a Whole Foods near me, but I can't use that because Amazon owns that now.
dan friesen
Well, that's fine.
jordan holmes
But I gotta, where am I going to find an Aldi in New Zealand?
dan friesen
Doesn't matter.
Amazon has drones that can deliver that.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's a good point.
But I still want Jeff Bezos to die.
Can I reprogram with him?
Can I reprogram a drone to deliver me the pizza?
dan friesen
The pizza ingredients.
jordan holmes
Yeah, well, yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Look, my position on all that stuff is, I don't know.
I don't want to get too deep into this, but as all that stuff comes, it becomes more and more important that people who are not shitheads be around and don't run away.
And so I don't care about all that sort of conversation about where are we going to hide.
We hide in the shit of it and try and help people.
That's kind of my perspective on it.
And I hope when things get bad, I can walk the walk that I'm very casually talking.
I don't know that's the case.
jordan holmes
No, of course not.
dan friesen
I might run away like a coward.
jordan holmes
You never know how you're going to act in a crisis until a crisis.
dan friesen
I might hang myself in a closet.
There's no fucking way for me to know what my reaction will be, but I pray and hope that it is help people that I can help and build community.
jordan holmes
Now, see, that's where I am out because every time somebody's like, what would you do in a zombie apocalypse?
I'd be like, shoot myself in the head.
unidentified
Fuck that shit.
jordan holmes
I don't need any of that noise.
dan friesen
That's different.
jordan holmes
I don't need that bullshit.
dan friesen
Zombie Apocalypse is incredibly different than galvanizing and unifying the struggle of humanity.
jordan holmes
That's a good point.
dan friesen
Because climate change is not so much a like, it's not like if you get hit by a rogue wave, like an errant wave, you become a wave.
You know, it's not like that.
jordan holmes
Or is it, Dan?
dan friesen
I don't think so.
jordan holmes
Have you considered a giant rogue wave of people?
dan friesen
I've been hit in an undertow before.
jordan holmes
Oh, it's scary, isn't it?
dan friesen
Yeah, it's very scary, but I've become an undertow.
So on this episode, the 21st.
jordan holmes
A lot of Alex Jones' listeners would disagree.
dan friesen
Jordan, this episode is going to be three hours long.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry, I'm going to do it.
dan friesen
Stop bullshitting.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm having fun.
dan friesen
No, it is fun.
I enjoy this.
On the 21st, Dr. Group was fun.
jordan holmes
I like how you say that reluctantly.
I didn't say it related to this.
It is fun.
I enjoy this.
dan friesen
I only threw that later because I wasn't saying it reluctantly, and it made me mad that you were insinuating.
jordan holmes
It is a dramatic effect.
dan friesen
I get it.
So, Dr. Group is on.
Our boy, Eddie.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
Eddie Group.
And one of the things that he's spitting is some crazy shit.
jordan holmes
Not hot fire?
dan friesen
He's on there talking about how your pineal gland has a crystal in it.
jordan holmes
Whoo, boy.
dan friesen
And vaccines.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
And fluoride.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
And the air.
jordan holmes
Dan.
dan friesen
And your phone.
jordan holmes
That's not good.
dan friesen
And everything around you hurts that crystal.
It hurts that crystal.
But you know what can help?
jordan holmes
I'm going to go with fake bullshit pills?
dan friesen
Iodine.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Colloidal iodine.
dan friesen
Now, why?
He says that iodine is the only thing that can help the pineal gland.
And I. Wait, but why?
Well, because it's nonsense.
But here's the thing.
jordan holmes
All right, fair enough.
dan friesen
I've spent a lot of time in the trenches of the new age world.
A lot of that sort of stuff.
jordan holmes
A lot of crystals?
dan friesen
I know from going to all of these websites and researching all this stuff, no one says that iodine is the thing we use.
It's turmeric.
Turmeric is the thing we use.
Yes, turmeric.
jordan holmes
All right, Dan.
dan friesen
Turmeric is supposed to decalcify your pineal gland.
jordan holmes
I recognize your fake correction of his fake bullshit.
dan friesen
I just want to be above board about all this.
unidentified
All right.
jordan holmes
Anyway, I get it.
I get it.
dan friesen
Anyway, we're not going to listen to Dr. Group talk about this because it's more important that later in Dr. Group's appearance, they start taking calls, and they get this call, which is buck wild.
This is a Mike Down moment.
alex jones
Okay.
Let me see.
Alexander says is an attorney in California.
He wants to talk about the pineal gland.
So since we were talking about that, let's talk to Alexander in California here on the air.
unidentified
Hello, Alex, and congratulations, Doctor, for revealing to the public the fact that the pineal gland does have a crystal in it, and that is our unique ability.
alex jones
I wanted to hear that with these cell phones.
Let's see how his phone comes out.
unidentified
Hey, Alex, if we had finally tuned our pineal glands, we could be communicating telepathically.
We are spiritual beings.
We are very powerful beings.
And the 1% is trying to deny that ability to us.
We have to have faith.
We have to develop that.
And you're helping us do that.
I want to congratulate you for that.
It's excellent work that you do, Alex.
And one thing: I would like more stories about the Sandy Hook hoax.
Oh, boy.
jordan holmes
That was a harsh change in direction.
That was a very harsh change in direction.
That was a really hard turn.
dan friesen
I'm an attorney.
unidentified
I want to talk about the pineal gland that has a crystal inside of it.
jordan holmes
Sandy Hook was fake.
dan friesen
Wait, wait, wait.
Even before that, we're capable of telepathy.
Well, yeah.
The globalists don't want us to have telepathy.
Sandy Hook was fake.
jordan holmes
Look, nobody hates the 1% as much as I do.
I have yet to accuse them of inhibiting our pineal crystal gland crystals.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Which, by the way, I'm starting a new line of crystal called the Pineal Brand Crystal.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, like, let's just blue sky this idea.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Let's just sort of spitball on this.
If it is the case.
jordan holmes
I'm hearing an if-then statement being said.
dan friesen
Well, I'm just, look, this is how blue sky thinking works.
jordan holmes
All right, there we go.
dan friesen
If we're talking if we're talking about Edward Group, the noted chiropractor's ideas, and he's saying that your cell phone and modern technology and fluoride in the water and vaccines are the things that are inhibiting your pineal gland, then what we should see is telepathy in humans in the 1600s.
We should see telepathy behind you.
jordan holmes
Dan, your logic is flawed.
dan friesen
Of course it is.
jordan holmes
Didn't you see the pictures of the phone where the guy was in the 1700s?
He was time traveler.
He had the phone.
dan friesen
I said six times.
jordan holmes
I retract my argument.
dan friesen
That was not from the 1700s.
That was from like the 1910s or something.
unidentified
Who cares?
dan friesen
Who cares?
jordan holmes
It was all made up.
dan friesen
It was an earphone.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It was an earhorn.
unidentified
No, no, no.
jordan holmes
I know.
dan friesen
That sort of argument falls flat for me.
jordan holmes
For what reason?
dan friesen
Maybe because I've gone down so many of these stupid New Age roads and I've found so much hucksterism in it.
I've found so much conman behavior in the same way that you do with Alex Jones and his entire world.
There are so many people who are trying to sell you on these superhuman capabilities that you're able to achieve.
If only you weren't being held down.
And I believe in human potential.
I think our consciousness is way more powerful than we think it is.
But I don't think that if we just washed off our pineal gland crystal by not drinking water, not being around electronics, not having a cell phone, not taking vaccines, etc., there's even more things.
Of course.
Then somehow we'd be able to telepathically communicate.
It's horseshit.
jordan holmes
It is telepathy.
dan friesen
It's muddy in the water of fun New Age stuff with New Age bullshit.
jordan holmes
But what it's connected to is the Bodhisattva.
Ultimately, when you get down to all of this shit, it winds up being a rehashing of the Buddha went to the fucking mountain and meditated for six months.
Or like my favorite.
dan friesen
I got distracted because when you said Bodhisattva, I just thought of that Steely Dan song.
jordan holmes
See, now I immediately thought of point break.
But for so much of this shit, it just all goes down to that guy who goes into the middle of nowhere and cleanses himself of humanity, reaches enlightenment, and then so on and so forth.
dan friesen
It goes to ascetic lifestyle.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Now, if that's what you want to do, fucking fine.
But if you're somebody who is doing that and then coming back to other people, there's no explanation for why you would come back to other people.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Like, that's the thing that always breaks it down.
That's why my favorite, my favorite Buddha, my favorite Bodhisattva, my favorite guy who ever reached enlightenment was Ikyu Sojin, who famously reached enlightenment whenever a crow dropped a rock in the middle of a lake and then was given the head of a Buddhist monastery.
And after nine days, he said, fuck you guys.
You're all corrupt.
You can find me at the brothel.
unidentified
You can find me in the woods with a brilliant poet.
dan friesen
That's wonderful.
jordan holmes
That is my man.
Yeah.
That is my conception of a Bodhisattva as a guy who comes back and is like, dude, you guys fucking suck.
I'm going to fuck whores.
That's my guy.
That is my Jesus Christ right there.
dan friesen
That's why you're a stand-up.
jordan holmes
That could be.
dan friesen
So, Jordan, now things are going to get murkier.
jordan holmes
Who would have guessed?
dan friesen
The 21st does not end well for Alex.
Because in one of the commercial breaks towards the end of the show, he reads an article where he's being called a racist for some of his statements that he's made about how, boy, we've covered a lot of it in the past, but what it boils down to is a lot of his ideas about how whites should flee South Africa and let the blacks destroy themselves.
jordan holmes
Right, of course.
dan friesen
He has that idea in his head.
And often he weeks, especially lately, he's been weaving in imagery about Black Panther, about a great movie.
This idea of Wakanda.
jordan holmes
Very good.
dan friesen
This idea of a black utopia.
unidentified
That should have been what happened without the whites there.
dan friesen
It's very dumb.
jordan holmes
Love it.
dan friesen
But some publications have been taking him a little bit out of context, but also, again, it's what we deal with all the time.
When people take him out of context, they're too generous to what he's saying.
They don't actually deal with the reality of what he's saying.
And thankfully, in responding to this article that slightly takes him out of context, he says one of the worst fucking things I've ever heard him say.
This might also be a mic down clip.
Sorry.
alex jones
I was just reading during a break, Atlanta Black Star.
Alex Jones says Africa should have been like Wakanda once evil colonists were kicked out.
And I'm saying, according to the leftist, and then they don't tell you that at the same rant, I was playing clips of the communist leader who's number three in the government, the defense minister, and the current president of South Africa saying, we're going to take the whites' land and we're going to kill you.
dan friesen
He didn't say that.
alex jones
And no whites should be allowed in government.
I'm just saying that's racist.
That's crazy.
That's stupid.
Whites are being exterminated in Zimbabwe, Rhodesia, you name it.
The countries are collapsing once that happens.
And they don't show that I showed people saying kill the white farmers.
Jones says whites better get out because racist blacks are going to kill you.
Yeah, and I played the clip.
dan friesen
You didn't.
So this goes back to a clip that he's misrepresenting.
unidentified
He played a clip from Blackstar where it was like, one, two, three, most definitely.
dan friesen
No, it's a clip of South African Julius Malema, who's the leader of the radical Marxist opposition party, the economic freedom fighters.
In the clip, we've talked about this already in the past when we covered it when he played it.
Malema says specifically he's not calling for the slaughter of white people, at least for now.
jordan holmes
I was going to say, yeah.
dan friesen
That was the clip that he's talking about.
It's not talking about slaughtering white people there.
jordan holmes
Which is strange because he hasn't even caught up to me yet.
dan friesen
Right, and he's the Marxist opposition leader.
jordan holmes
I know, right?
dan friesen
Yeah.
But they're talking about an equitable redistribution of land that didn't happen after the apartheid state was ended in South Africa.
We've been over this a hundred fucking times.
Now, the reason that this clip to me is the most fucked up thing I've ever heard Alex say is that he said, quote, whites are being exterminated in Zimbabwe, Rhodesia, you name it.
jordan holmes
You name it.
dan friesen
There's so many fucking problems.
jordan holmes
Name a place.
dan friesen
Rhodesia.
jordan holmes
Whites are being exterminated there.
dan friesen
Not a place.
jordan holmes
Name another place.
dan friesen
So do you.
jordan holmes
Persia.
Still definitely not a place.
dan friesen
Do you know what Rhodesia is?
jordan holmes
Like, no.
dan friesen
You don't?
jordan holmes
I know, but I don't know if what I know is then going to be revealed to be fucking stupid.
dan friesen
Okay, I'll tell you.
jordan holmes
So I'm going to keep my mouth shut before I reveal myself to be fucking stupid.
dan friesen
I'll tell you a little story.
Yeah.
So Rhodesia has most recently come into the public's consciousness in 2015 because Dylan Roof, after he shot up the black church and killed nine people, pictures of him came out burning an American flag and also with flags of the apartheid government in South Africa and Rhodesia's flag on his shirt.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
That's one of the reasons that it's been sort of brought to the public consciousness.
But a lot of people don't know what Rhodesia actually is.
Rhodesia is an internationally unrecognized state that hasn't existed since 1979.
It's a literal symbol of the white supremacist, white nationalist movement that exists to this day.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
And there's a reason for that.
jordan holmes
Okay, thank God, because I was legit terrified that when you started saying, do you know what Rhodesia really is?
I was like, I thought it was about white supremacists, but is it a real place?
I don't fucking know.
dan friesen
It's what is now modern-day Zimbabwe.
jordan holmes
No, right.
dan friesen
And that's what makes him say whites are being slaughtered in Zimbabwe, Rhodesia, you name it, even worse.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no, that's why I got scared.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
I was like, I thought it was a very simple and straightforward concept.
dan friesen
So in 1965, Rhodesia broke away from its existing status as part of the United Kingdom because the UK would not recognize their apartheid government, where 3 to 4%, it's unclear exactly where the number was in there, but the white population was about 3 to 4% of the population.
And they controlled the entire apparatus of control of the government.
knows why the apartheid regime employed incredibly horrific means to stay in power including imagine white people doing that I found an article from the 60s in the New York Times describing some of the torture that they employed, electrocuting people, heating their limbs to extremes.
They also engaged in rampant incarceration of black leaders.
jordan holmes
Never heard of white people doing that.
dan friesen
In 1979, the government collapsed, but the racist myth of this white supremacist utopian state of Rhodesia remains to this day.
The idea that they have is that these communist forces, the black people who are like, why are 3% of the population oppressively governing over us?
jordan holmes
That's a bad question.
dan friesen
They create this idea that if only those black assholes hadn't have been like, eh, we need rights.
jordan holmes
I know, they were ruining it.
dan friesen
Then they could have had a white supremacist utopia.
Ruined it for everybody.
jordan holmes
I mean, for white people.
I mean, for those white people.
dan friesen
It's unfortunate because you do end up with Mugabe coming into the picture.
And that's not great.
jordan holmes
But that's how it always winds up working.
And this is this is something that I've put a lot of thought into, because that's kind of what we need to happen here.
When you have an oppressive government, the people it's it's the French Revolution over and over and over again that we see historically of you have this oppressive bullshit fucking government and people are finally like, we can't handle this shit anymore.
And then they wind up making the same mistake that everybody else does where they go, well, this guy will help.
And then they get fucked over.
dan friesen
Like, that's our automatic, well-meaning leader who becomes a dictator himself.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you get your Castro out of your fucking fucking bullshit.
dan friesen
I would posit, first of all, that Mugabe wasn't all that terrible to begin with, though he got terrible.
jordan holmes
None of them are.
dan friesen
Right.
But I would also say that he unfortunately serves as a tool of the white supremacist propaganda about Rhodesia.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
Because if he hadn't come along with his communist asshole buddies and overthrown the white great government, they could have been doing great there.
And because he did so terribly, it props up their argument.
jordan holmes
And you can apply that to the fucking terror after the French Revolution.
And you can apply that to the fucking Bolshevik revolution.
dan friesen
It's a lot of people.
jordan holmes
You can apply to it to so many of these fucking revolutions.
You fucked up, and eventually people are like, we need to fucking solve this problem.
And a charismatic leader shows up who lies to you and then discovers that power is really fucking great.
dan friesen
Now, the big, big problem is that Alex Jones drops Rhodesia like it's a real thing.
It is not.
jordan holmes
Oh, it's not.
dan friesen
It only exists to white supremacists and white nationalists.
The idea that he is bringing it up as a way of saying whites are being exterminated in Rhodesia is one of the most damning possible sentences a person can make.
Because even if you thought that whites were being exterminated in Africa in some place, you wouldn't say that.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
You would never say Rhodesia.
jordan holmes
Mainly because I think they should be exterminated.
dan friesen
Well, but let's put you in the position of somebody who isn't a hard yes on white genocide.
Let's put you in the position of somebody who's actually.
jordan holmes
What an evolution I've made over the course of this show.
dan friesen
The reason that it's fucked up is that Rhodesia was never, it was literally never accepted as a country.
It existed from 1965 to 1979, and the entire time was basically just a small white minority beating the shit out of and torturing black people who demanded rights and then stopped existing.
The only reason to ever have it in your head is because you identify with that.
jordan holmes
That's a white supremacist.
dan friesen
You are a fucking white supremacist if you bring up Rhodesia in a conversation as if it's a thing.
Alex Jones played himself so fucking hard there.
It's embarrassing.
And you know what's even more embarrassing?
Media matters, right-wing watch, all of those fucking places.
They don't talk about this.
They don't talk about how he brought up Rhodesia.
jordan holmes
I got no response.
You're dead on.
dan friesen
I don't either.
jordan holmes
You're right.
dan friesen
Anyway, Alex.
jordan holmes
Alex Jones, as I don't think we've ever said before, is a confirmed white supremacist.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
And he's talking a lot of shit about how he's going to sue Tom Brokov for calling him a racist.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Hey, Tom, hit up your boy.
I'll get you right out of that lawsuit.
So at this point, Alex gets really defensive because people are calling him a racist.
jordan holmes
Right.
Because he's a racist.
alex jones
I was just reading during a break.
No, I'm sure we're all under attack.
dr ed group
We're all under attack.
alex jones
But I'm the one with blackgenocide.com on and all the other groups and all the reverence trying to follow the black kids getting aborted.
You don't see that out of the cool, trendy liberal black sites led by Muslims.
dr ed group
Actually, it's documented that blacks are attacked much more with the syphilis vaccination, all the different vaccinations.
Blacks have been used for multiple top secret testing projects, which we expose.
unidentified
Real quick.
dan friesen
No, you real quick.
All Dr. Group is rambling about there, and Alex is saying, you expose the Tuskegee.
jordan holmes
Did you expose the Tuskegee?
dan friesen
You're expensive.
Really?
How dare you?
jordan holmes
You're going to go with that one, huh?
alex jones
But I'm not virtue signaling to a bunch of racist black people.
Just because a bunch of you black people out there act like you're in black KKK doesn't mean I'm going to stoop down the level you are.
You got that?
But I will run my mouth against black races of South Africa murdering whites in masks.
You bet I will.
Go ahead, sorry.
dr ed group
Just more the reason why we need to control our stress levels and do some What a dick.
jordan holmes
I always love those comparisons.
Okay, so to white people, what is the black KKK?
dan friesen
Farrakhan, maybe?
jordan holmes
It's the Black Panthers, right?
Oh, no.
That's what they, the Black Panthers, or whatever.
dan friesen
Nowadays, I would assume it's Farrakhan.
jordan holmes
So, the KKK historically hung, lynched, murdered, did everything that they possibly could to destroy black people.
dan friesen
Or run them out.
jordan holmes
Right.
The Black Panthers created a program to give breakfasts to people who couldn't afford them.
dan friesen
That's some fucked up stuff.
jordan holmes
So there we go.
Now we have our equivalency.
dan friesen
But how was the caloric balance on that breakfast?
jordan holmes
It was actually very good.
They got scrambled eggs.
They got a piece of toast.
They fucking nailed it.
dan friesen
It's the.
jordan holmes
All I'm saying.
Hard yes.
dan friesen
It's the providence problem, not providence, but like it's like, where do this, like, what is in response to what?
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
You know, so like the idea of these like black KKK groups, or he does this about Mexicans with like La Raza and Mecha, which again are not separatist racist organizations.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's mistranslating a lot of their shit.
But like, and he does the same thing with like historically black fraternities and stuff like that.
It's like, what you're not looking at is that these organizations only exist because of the history of violent exclusion by the whites-only organizations.
Those things would not exist if we had a history that didn't have violent and murderous segregation in it.
So we're not saying that every white person should be punished for that history, but everyone.
jordan holmes
I kind of am.
dan friesen
Well, you're not really.
That's for comedic effect.
jordan holmes
A lot of the time.
dan friesen
Alex should be.
But everyone should be aware of it.
And if you're willfully obtuse to that and fight against it, that means that you have some sort of underlying belief that is much more than just, I want the truth out.
I want everyone to be fair.
It's more that you're like, I cannot deal with the fact that someone that looked like me was so awful to people who didn't look like me created the situation where people who didn't look like me had to create their own resources in order to protect themselves.
jordan holmes
The situation there is that by defending it and denying it, you are tacitly admitting that, yes, it did happen.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And you are guilty of it.
dan friesen
Essentially, yeah.
So let's jump off this because I think we've... I think we've nailed that he's a white supremacist.
Oh, yeah.
I think he has.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
Nobody incriminates Alex better than Alex.
dan friesen
Yeah, he plays himself like a fiddle.
We have one more clip here from the 21st, and it's really funny in consideration that the day before he'd had this Russian fixer on his show, this media fixer on his show.
Because at the end of the show, Roger Stone comes on, and even Roger Goddamn Stone, living the best life he can possibly live, knows that Vladimir Putin stole that goddamn election, and Alex cannot handle it.
roger stone
Trump has no illusions about Putin.
He doesn't think he's a great guy.
He's been breached by the spooks who've told him how Putin rigged the election, which he most certainly did.
It's a totalitarian single-party system.
Of course, he rigged it.
alex jones
See, we're having this debate here.
It's the parliamentary system of like nine or ten different parties.
Putin is really popular.
I've read the international studies to you and David Knight.
Disagreeing with you because I respect you guys, but I mean, I do disagree.
I'm not saying I'm sure you're wrong.
How is it me groveling to Russia to say he won by 76%?
roger stone
I guess what I'm saying, Alex, is that you're right.
He certainly has his faction and it's very large, policed by the government.
But he really, what he does is he oppresses the candidates trying to run against him, throws them in jail, has their supporters, petition carriers beaten.
dan friesen
So at this point, Alex tries to pretend that, like, oh, it's like Hillary.
Like, yeah, Hillary didn't do any of that shit.
Nah, this is really fun for you.
jordan holmes
God, again, he's just fucking low-key.
He's just sowing Discord wherever he fucking can.
dan friesen
There is absolutely a piece of it that is like he does not give a single fuck.
jordan holmes
He just doesn't care.
dan friesen
It is amazing to me on many levels.
jordan holmes
He just comes out and he's like, everybody knows this election is rigged.
dan friesen
Yeah.
What the fuck?
How dare why would you think otherwise?
jordan holmes
That's so great, too.
That's so great.
Because, oh, God, if Roger Stone was never allowed anywhere near power and was just allowed to give interviews, he would be the best.
dan friesen
No, because he got kicked off of like Fox and CNN and all that for like using a bunch of racist terms.
roger stone
Rare.
dan friesen
Describe people.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
I get that.
dan friesen
Call them equal opportunity hires and shit.
jordan holmes
You're right.
You're right.
I agree.
I tend to gloss over the worst of Roger Stone because he's fucking when he is working against what his when he's biting the hand that feeds, he's the funniest fucking human.
dan friesen
Or when he's cutting through the bullshit, because he's not an idiot.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
He knows damn well what's going on.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
So this brings us, Jordan, to the end of the 21st.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And we will get into the 22nd here in a second, but I need to.
jordan holmes
Yeah, to reinforce my belief to anybody who isn't sure, Roger Stone should be fucking beheaded.
dan friesen
That's fair.
jordan holmes
He is a true.
He deserves the death penalty almost as much as Joe Arpine.
dan friesen
Maybe 25 years in the past, even.
Yeah, exactly.
But we got to take a quick intermission because I got to open up that window because it's a little hot.
jordan holmes
There you go.
dan friesen
And I got to go to the bathroom really quick.
We'll be right back.
jordan holmes
I'm going to open up that urinary train.
dan friesen
We'll be back in about three minutes.
unidentified
The memory of oppressed people is one thing that cannot be taken away.
And for such people with such memories, revolt is always an inch below the surface.
Who will overrun the city?
We can assure the people that we'll overrun the city.
Have military capability, but we've been delayed because we've been afraid of bloodshed and we want to protect our civilians who have no other alternative now but to move in the city.
So when does it begin?
I'm going to pass the order now.
I walked into the lobby.
I got like two steps into the lobby when the apartment door opened and I saw the detective.
He did one of these.
jordan holmes
Please.
unidentified
Back against the wall.
Inhale.
He loaded his automatic.
Sweat dripping, heart racing, ears flooded with static.
I got a bad habit of shining off of ferocious thoughts.
Like motions for a thug holidays.
Closing the courts.
I'll show my thoughts on paper.
Stick them inside of a bottle of heny.
So if you find it, you know what to bring when you come and get me.
The slut that bit me never hit me, but still I feel it in me.
Raising the earphones, leaving the semi.
I hear you, Lord.
I can't afford to price of milk.
So they try to sell me the cow.
I'm tapped out like cell phones.
Can you hear me now?
I'm weary now.
Battery energy's down.
Nigga, I sounded alarm.
You've been warned.
I see it coming through the eye of the storm.
Not the one confront me just low-key.
Find me in the corner, patiently waiting for something to happen.
Stop, write a reporter, skip the thought.
When he hits you, wrong face, wrong time forever shining.
Clever enough to know when the devil gets behind you.
Locked and loaded.
Remote capitalists driving stuff on KB.
You need a road.
Cage airbags and safety hornets to face me.
An escape route.
Never planned it.
I'm finding a way.
I got plans and under in the wall of dying a day.
It's time for war.
Grab me shit, nigga.
Because we must die.
And I did not be like Hogs.
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot.
Like man will face the words.
Cowardly pack.
Crash to the wall.
True indeed can seem guaranteed masterpieces.
Born through a virgin room, Mr. Vass Jesus.
Regardles, my recitals are spoken as God's thesis.
Hair like wool shine bright with bronze features.
Warned Babylon, long gone is the innocence.
I'm right under the influence of hellfire fingertips.
Right under the influence of pain and pestilence.
Such a cross to bear with nails through my ligaments.
I twist tops off and pop corpse in the remembrance.
No question the genesis of this is almighty.
The beauty of my wife is beyond Aphrodite.
Got my whole fam beside me, holding it down.
Calvary's around my neck and my fitting's the crown.
Pound the flesh for my sins, make the soul sacrifice.
Plus, I lay my life on a line for the paradise.
Bring darkness to light, reborn and afterlife.
Appetite for destruction, second coming.
I make the ends justify the means.
Don't know the meaning to end.
Up in the lion's den, looking for Zen.
New world order rights are passing since you're looking for black men.
Old Thomas fake all time is to forget what's happening.
Captain of the ship, capsizing the mumbo ship.
The son of baby boomers planned to blow up or some other shit.
The world is far faster than our interests and lust.
Like Father Tom busting nuts up in Mother Nature's guts.

I rock like Gibraltar with pictures like Minotaur and never understand how the man standing over.
My shoulders all swollen from the world that I hold up.

But I laugh and live well.
And you're strong.
Tomorrow, I'll be at the table when Comforty comes.
dan friesen
Hey, we're back.
Hey, everybody.
Sorry about that.
A lot of business on that break.
Hey, Harry.
jordan holmes
You're doing a lot of business on that break.
dan friesen
Well, we took some bathrooms.
jordan holmes
There you go.
dan friesen
So, Jordan, like I told you, we're getting into the 22nd now.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And this is Thursday if you're nasty.
Thursday if you're not.
Because I know you need.
unidentified
Nope.
dan friesen
Nope.
All right.
unidentified
Uh-uh.
dan friesen
So the 22nd is a delightful day in Alex Jones's week.
This day, boy.
He said a lot of stuff that's not true and a lot of stuff that is very easy to poke holes in.
jordan holmes
But unusual for him.
dan friesen
But he also ends up spending about an hour of the, maybe even more than that, more than an hour, possibly, of the show just talking to his gun buddies.
And so a lot of what?
Yeah, we'll talk about it here in a second.
unidentified
Gun buddies.
dan friesen
We'll get to it here in a second.
jordan holmes
I don't like gun buddies.
dan friesen
They have a lot of guns.
jordan holmes
I don't even like the idea of gun buddies.
dan friesen
I have some gun buddies.
I got some buddies back in Missouri who like to shoot off guns.
jordan holmes
I mean, I'm fine with like bowling buddies.
I don't know about gun buddies.
dan friesen
You've just never been to the range, man.
You've never been out there.
jordan holmes
Never been to the range.
dan friesen
You should get out there and shoot some guns.
It's fun.
jordan holmes
I should.
Because I'm going to need that skill eventually.
dan friesen
I don't like this uncomfortable position that I have to live in where it's like, I get all of it.
I get all of it.
And you know what?
The right answer is gun control.
I get all of it, though, too.
And I'll call, you know what?
I think that gives me a unique position to be in where I think I can call out bullshit more capably or more fairly.
No, I can call out bullshit in a news story whenever it's like, is this actually trying to be oppressive or is this trying to, you know, is this benign or whatever?
Because you're very much on the side of.
Whereas I'm like, I get that a lot of people like to shoot off guns and it's fun recreationally.
jordan holmes
But that's that's the why are we already doing this?
I don't need to do this right now.
dan friesen
I think a couple of my friends might have even had illegal guns.
unidentified
Anyway, unnamed people.
I was going to say, that's a good place to stop right there.
dan friesen
Anyway, the reason we're talking about guns.
The reason we got into guns here a little bit.
jordan holmes
Is because you've been filing the serial numbers off of yours?
dan friesen
I don't have any.
I have a vacuum cleaner over there that I could turn into one, though, because I'm crafty like a MacGyver.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Like Richard Dean Anderson up in this band.
All right.
So the reason we're talking about it is because the varsity narrative of Alex Jones' show on the 22nd is him misrepresenting a new rule that YouTube has put out about gun videos.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
And we will hear his take on it, and then I'll tell you what the truth is in just a moment.
jordan holmes
Thanks, Dan.
alex jones
Now, we're going to be getting more into all that as we go along.
But the big news today, and I've got two of the organizations banned by YouTube coming on with us in the second hour today, here's Bloomberg.
YouTube bans firearms demo videos entering the gun control debate.
You mean entering the First Amendment debate?
dan friesen
Nope.
alex jones
Because they're going to let Hollywood run their trailers with all the shoot-em-ups.
dan friesen
What?
alex jones
They're going to put out all of their video games, shoot-em-up.
jordan holmes
All their video games, shoot-em-ups.
alex jones
Even major sports organizations are signing top video game players on to be sponsors and to be funded because billions of people a week watch folks play violent video games on YouTube alone.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Also on Twitch.
Hi, guys.
alex jones
Think about it.
dan friesen
Twitch in a minute.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
Sites like Twitch.
jordan holmes
That's us.
alex jones
So you think about that massive, incredible affront to the First Amendment that Twitch is coming to ESPN, people playing video games, people playing Doom and all these other games.
unidentified
Doom.
dan friesen
Which is fine.
alex jones
Shooting people up.
jordan holmes
Playing some street fighters.
alex jones
All the Deathwish remakes come out and have those be YouTube trailers with YouTube getting tons of money.
jordan holmes
Can't allow Charles Bronson.
dan friesen
Not Bronson.
It's the remake.
It sucks.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
Arms Channel doesn't even sell guns.
dan friesen
Hold on.
He just said the military arms channel.
They don't sell guns.
jordan holmes
They don't even sell guns.
dan friesen
He has an interview with the guy who runs that channel later.
He's like, he's like, I have a gun store.
unidentified
Yeah.
alex jones
But they just show people and review them they're banned.
And then Spikes Tactical is banned because they're showing firearms.
All selective attacks on the First Amendment.
All discriminatory and all part of a massive salvo launched to silence defense of the Second Amendment, to kill gun culture, to then kill the Second Amendment.
This is the main assault.
And everybody better wake up and realize this is the war.
dan friesen
It's the war, baby.
You're scrawling like crazy over there.
What's up?
jordan holmes
I'm just taking a lot of notes.
No, well, I'm just thinking about how Alex Jones' conception of what the First Amendment is is inherently antithetical to his conception of what free market capitalism is.
dan friesen
Interesting.
jordan holmes
Okay, so First Amendment is the government cannot control speech.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Free market capitalism is not.
dan friesen
Well, that's part of the First Amendment.
There's a bunch of other stuff, too.
jordan holmes
Well, to him, he doesn't understand the rest of it.
Especially the journalism part and really the you're allowed to gather together no matter what.
No.
Does not understand those parts of the world.
They're the ones who are paid together by the government, actually.
And then his idea of free market capitalism, which allows you to regulate speech in exactly the way that he is against.
Those to him are antithetical, and he doesn't understand that they are the reason that he's angry.
dan friesen
Well, one of the things, like, if you just want to take it to a dumb fucking way to resolve this argument, there's no porn on YouTube.
jordan holmes
There you go.
dan friesen
Porn is legal.
jordan holmes
Well, I know it when I see it.
dan friesen
Right, but there's no porn on YouTube.
Like, porn is legal.
They've decided we don't want that on our platform.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Do you want to take up that free speech battle?
Well, we certainly haven't.
jordan holmes
What he's mad about is that gun porn is being taken off of it.
dan friesen
Rape.
jordan holmes
That's essentially what it is.
dan friesen
No, it's not.
Gun videos are still cool.
They're still totally cool.
I'll read to you from Bloomberg.
The problem is the title of this fucking article.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
The headline.
jordan holmes
God damn it, guys.
Name things better.
Think ahead.
dan friesen
The headline of the article is YouTube bans firearm demo videos entering the gun control debate.
And that is an absolutely unfair title based on the reality of what YouTube has done.
So here we go.
I'll just read to you from this article because Alex Jones didn't make it to the second paragraph.
YouTube will ban videos that promote or link to websites selling firearms and accessories, including bump stocks, which allow semi-automatic rifles to fire faster.
Additionally, YouTube said it will prohibit videos with instructions on how to assemble firearms.
The video site owned by Alphabet's Google has faced intense criticism for hosting videos about guns, bombs, and other deadly weapons.
Basically, what the new rules that they've come up with are if you sell guns, you cannot have videos where you advertise those guns on our platform.
Or if you don't sell guns, but you're supported by someone who does sell guns and link to them for direct sales, you can't post those videos.
Also, if you are putting up videos where you show how to create a silencer or how to create a higher capacity magazine, you can't put up those videos.
My personal take on this is good, this is going to be impossible to enforce.
Of course.
But good.
That is a good rule to have.
You should have had that fucking long time ago.
Who would have guessed?
But I don't know what realistic steps you can take.
Now, Alex has two guests on.
jordan holmes
The internet is pee in a pool.
Once it's in there, it's in there.
You're never going to be able to plug.
Once a leak starts, you're never going to be able to plug all of the leaks.
And pretending that you can is a lip service at best.
So I support the idea that they're trying to do it, but they're never going to do it.
dan friesen
The First Amendment argument is absolutely out the window because they're not being arrested.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
You know, like that piece of it.
jordan holmes
First Amendment can control what the government can do to you, not what a private organization can control.
dan friesen
Which he should have a boner for.
jordan holmes
You would think, again, the First Amendment is antithetical to free market capitalism, and somehow he believes he supports both.
dan friesen
So he has two guests on to talk about this, and these are the gun buddies I was talking about.
They end up talking to him for about an hour worth of the show.
jordan holmes
It's Dave and Murderbuck?
dan friesen
Skeeter.
Oh, no, they're two guys.
One of them, my notes were not pulling up there for a second.
I apologize.
One of them is a guy by the name of Tim Harmison, who runs the YouTube channel Military Arms Channel, who I mentioned, admits in the interview that he runs a gun store.
jordan holmes
There's a lot of guns.
dan friesen
So that kind of puts him afoul of the selling guns provision of YouTube's next year.
jordan holmes
Where's the terms and conditions argument on that?
dan friesen
Also, he goes into a pretty big argument about how the Southern Poverty Law Center is a radical far-left organization.
jordan holmes
Oh, those people with their law.
dan friesen
And boy, do you hate to see that.
jordan holmes
Can't handle it.
dan friesen
And then the other guest he has is Kit Cope.
This guy runs the.
jordan holmes
That's the most southwestern villain name I've ever heard in my entire life.
Kit Cope?
Well, this guy runs is a 14-year-old that can quick draw better than anybody else.
dan friesen
I bet he can.
He runs a gun maker and seller business out of Florida called Spikes Tactical.
jordan holmes
That's even worse than Kit Cope.
dan friesen
Alex just referenced them as having their YouTube channel taken down.
jordan holmes
Good.
dan friesen
During the day, while this episode was going on, I went and Googled it.
I found their YouTube channel.
It was up.
They're just giving it up.
jordan holmes
Damn it.
These fucking ass.
dan friesen
Also, the military arms channel was not taken down either.
I went and found that.
jordan holmes
Where do these people come from?
dan friesen
Right.
So the issue that's bigger is that Spikes Tactical is an advertiser on Alex Jones' show.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
For fuck's sakes!
dan friesen
The whole thing just turns into a commercial based on- Are you shitting me?
No, it's just a.
jordan holmes
So they.
That is.
That's.
Shouldn't there be a law?
dan friesen
There probably is.
jordan holmes
That if you're making up a law that's restricting the advertiser that you're advertising for, and they come on your show saying that they're restricting, even though there's not a restriction, that they're not allowed to say that there's a restriction on it?
dan friesen
I think that there's not FCC violation because he doesn't hide the fact that they're a sponsor.
Like, he even plays a commercial for them in the middle of their hour-long argument about.
jordan holmes
It can't be real.
dan friesen
No, absolutely.
It is.
It's a hot load of nonsense.
But what makes it even worse is that in the middle of Cope's interview, he expressed.
jordan holmes
Flames behind my eyes, Dan.
Flames burning fires.
dan friesen
In the middle, I'm going to make it worse.
I'm going to throw kerosene on you.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
Because in the middle of his interview, Kit Cope expresses that he believes that most mass shootings are false flags.
And he specifically says that they use crisis actors.
jordan holmes
No!
dan friesen
Yeah.
The thing that Alex is pretending that he doesn't support, one of his sponsors comes on air and says, I think, you know what?
It's not even the shootings that we know of.
It's even more of them.
That sort of shit.
It's fucking nonsense.
It's crazy.
Oh, my fucking God.
jordan holmes
Would somebody please shoot these people?
dan friesen
This is really fun.
jordan holmes
I'm beyond the, like, oh, you shouldn't advocate that.
Fuck these guys.
dan friesen
On KnowledgeFight.com.
jordan holmes
I hope they get shot.
dan friesen
On KnowledgeFight.com, we have a link up to this.
Can find it there.
But Kit Cope, Kip Cope, Kit Cope.
jordan holmes
Kit Cope, Kip Cope.
Kit?
dan friesen
I thought it was Kip for a second.
It's Kit.
jordan holmes
Kip Coat or Kit Cope?
dan friesen
Kit Cope.
Okay.
A box of things.
jordan holmes
I need you to get that right for when you fucking shoot that piece of shit.
dan friesen
I will never do that.
A box of things that allow you to deal.
jordan holmes
That allow you to with your issues?
dan friesen
A kit of coping.
That's how I'll read it.
jordan holmes
I didn't get that first, but now I'm on board.
dan friesen
So also he got into some hot water a little while back because he created this, let's say, advertisement for his business.
jordan holmes
I don't like let's say advertisement.
dan friesen
He was like, he presented it as standing up to Antifa.
jordan holmes
That's already bad.
dan friesen
The slogan was not today, Antifa.
unidentified
Today, fuh.
dan friesen
The picture was four white dudes with fucking big guns.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
With their backs to the camera.
It's not a picture, but like their backs to the whatever, the lens.
And then a sea of guys in masks.
Like, we're going to shoot you down.
We're standing up against you.
And then in the corner that has Boston, I can't remember the other ones, but one of them that stands out, Charlottesville.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
Oh, no.
No.
Why is that one of your four in the list?
jordan holmes
Because you're a fucking white supremacist.
unidentified
Oh, no.
dan friesen
Oh, no.
jordan holmes
They didn't even shoot people.
Fucking.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Fucking Christ.
These people.
dan friesen
Nope.
jordan holmes
What are they?
What are they?
I kind of want a hot load of shit.
I want to know.
Like, there's a genuine part of me that wants to be able to experience a level of empathy.
Like, not sympathy or understanding, but like and literal empathy of, can I see through their eyes?
And I have no ability to see the world through the way that they see it.
What they've created is like for Alex Jones being like, oh, it's the video game violence or anything like that.
These people have created a literal virtual reality that they exist in that no one else does.
And I want to be able to see it at the same time.
I just kind of want to stamp it out with a giant fucking boot.
dan friesen
I promise you I'm going to explain some of it at the end of this episode in a way you will never expect and you won't see coming.
But I think that...
jordan holmes
actually created by Nintendo?
dan friesen
Well, I think part of the reason that you can't empathize is because...
jordan holmes
Because I can't.
dan friesen
Well, no, I mean...
jordan holmes
And I pride myself on the ability to empathize.
dan friesen
It's difficult to because what you're trying to empathize with is a completely scared and completely externalized worldview.
Like everything is a threat and all these threats are connected.
That sort of worldview is very difficult to say.
jordan holmes
Right.
Like if you didn't understand RoboCop was satire.
dan friesen
Oh, that would be, yeah, that's.
Yeah, sure.
Or any of the movies that Alex references.
jordan holmes
Right, fair enough.
dan friesen
The thing is, if you don't fall under the sway.
I actually think you should empathize a little bit.
I think you need to look inside yourself a little bit deeper because what we're looking at with a lot of these people are people who have fallen under the sway of very charismatic con men.
They use politics as opposed to the people who have abused us in the past necessarily with religion.
jordan holmes
With religion, yeah.
dan friesen
And it's the same game.
And I feel like you should be able to take a step.
It might be difficult, but look at it from that prism and see how Gun protectionism, white supremacy, a lot of those things are their religion that they've been abused with.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And they just haven't escaped the church.
It doesn't come borne in.
unidentified
You know, that's you're you're right.
jordan holmes
I see where you're coming from.
dan friesen
I think the reason that I still rather laugh.
jordan holmes
The reason that I can't empathize is because I didn't come from a death cult.
I just came from a regular cult.
You know, like that kind of situation.
Well, because what ultimately.
dan friesen
What you're lacking in translation is they don't think they're a death cult.
jordan holmes
Well, right.
But death cults never think they're a death cult.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
And then they kill themselves.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Or others.
unidentified
So you and or others.
dan friesen
I would like to explore this more, but I'm not entirely sure.
jordan holmes
That's going to be a very long episode.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
We're going to get into four-hour territory.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Eventually, we're going to do a nine-hour long episode of just you and I figuring out cults.
dan friesen
Turns out, based on the Facebook group, that's what they want.
They want us to do episodes not about Alex Jones, which to that I say, donate enough that Jordan doesn't have to have a job, and then we will.
jordan holmes
And then we'll go right on into it.
dan friesen
And then we'll have a daily radio show.
But, Jordan, I want to get back to this idea that Alex was spitting about the video game stuff and death wish and things like that.
He really tries to make hay out of the idea that all we do is show people using guns responsibly and we're getting censored.
And then Hollywood has people using guns irresponsibly and video games just blasting people away.
I'm not trying to say we should censor them.
And I agree, you shouldn't try and censor them.
But the problem with the comparison is he's responding to a fake version of YouTube's rules and then comparing it to fiction, which makes it all meaningless.
You know what I'm saying?
And so, I don't know.
It's a bummer.
It gets worse in this next clip where Alex Jones talks a little bit more about video game violence.
jordan holmes
It's like he's creating a straw man and comparing it to a virtual man made of straw.
Well, no.
Neither of them are real.
dan friesen
No, no, no.
Well, yes.
I agree.
Neither of them are real.
One is a straw man.
unidentified
One is art.
jordan holmes
But what else is a virtual man made of straw?
dan friesen
Fair enough.
Anyway, in this next clip, Alex has some weird fucking ideas about the history of video games.
alex jones
Oh, no.
Well, now I'm not saying banned video games.
jordan holmes
Aren't you?
alex jones
But they've been connected to mass shooters.
They've been connected to democratization.
Shoot-'em-up games were created in the 60s during Vietnam because a lot of the soldiers wouldn't shoot somebody up close.
jordan holmes
That sounds wrong.
alex jones
So they would have simulated targets and things that popped up, and then they moved.
dan friesen
Do you have anything?
jordan holmes
Is he talking about a shooting range?
Does he think that a shooting range is a video game?
dan friesen
He has to.
Because do you know what kind of games were around in the 60s?
Like, they were in exceptional people.
jordan holmes
Yeah, there wasn't even fucking Pong.
Yeah, that wasn't even there.
dan friesen
Yeah.
It's absurd.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
alex jones
Moved to projections in rooms where you'd go through buildings shooting.
dan friesen
He's talking about a copy.
alex jones
That is where video games began.
Doom.
That's one of the most popular shoot-em-ups.
Was developed in what, the 70s and 80s for the military.
jordan holmes
Wasn't developed for the military.
unidentified
So that's a film.
dan friesen
It was developed for the military.
alex jones
So these are the training age.
Instinctive shooting training age.
jordan holmes
A lot of people.
alex jones
Because if you do not have a strong chiller instinct, you will be dead, Marine.
All of that.
dan friesen
All of that.
jordan holmes
That's the dumbest.
That's dumb.
dan friesen
That's dumb.
When I hear that, I hear like I just think, like, I wish I was in sketch comedy.
Because, like, that character.
jordan holmes
Do you?
dan friesen
Well, because that character right there is a good, like, professor who's about to get fired character.
You know, like, right.
Like, all of that is so off base in terms of just, like, demonstrable facts about the history of video games.
jordan holmes
That's just not even.
unidentified
When did when does he even think computers were made?
jordan holmes
What does he, when did what does he think of comp like ultimately?
This brings me back to, like, what does he even think a computer is?
dan friesen
Well, he thinks that computers were created by Thomas Watson in order to help the Nazis.
unidentified
All right.
jordan holmes
So that's that.
dan friesen
He has a fair point.
jordan holmes
He's not a big fan of Turing, then?
dan friesen
Also, by the way, Doom came out in 1993, not the 70s or 80s.
So that's – God bless you.
That's a little bit of a problem with his timeline.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Maybe a little bit.
dan friesen
And he who, I played Donkey Kong Country because I like to jump on heads.
I like cartoon violence.
jordan holmes
When, like, even then, the first video game was...
dan friesen
No, in 1962, they had video games.
But it was like hypercomputers.
jordan holmes
It took the room that we're in to make a video game where you go.
dan friesen
No, I actually looked into it.
There was a game called Space Wars, I believe, was the name of it.
It was Space Wars with an exclamation point.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Those were the days.
In the early 60s, and it was this thing.
He had a giant computer and a circular screen.
jordan holmes
A tiny little tube screen.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And it was just a blip, and then you move things and try.
I guess it's sort of a precursor to Space Invaders in the arcade days.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
Yeah, I mean, sure.
That is to dehumanize you.
Okay.
Good stuff, Alex.
jordan holmes
I mean, it's a great thing, though, if you are playing towards Alex's clearly older and rural audience, wherein you all your.
What you're doing, anytime somebody is like, video games cause violence, what they're really doing is just another version of the like millennials are ruining this.
That's all it is.
dan friesen
We saw it in Columbine.
We saw blaming Marilyn Manson video games.
Every time.
unidentified
Every time.
dan friesen
It's a fun game to play.
And Alex is smart enough to know that I can't play this game.
I have to play the I'm not playing this game and then play the game.
Right.
So good work.
jordan holmes
Because if he was telling the truth, then I played Call of Duty Black Ops.
Do you remember that?
Where you killed all the Nazi zombies?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
I would kill so many Nazi zombies.
Maybe he's right.
dan friesen
Maybe you got desensitized.
jordan holmes
Maybe I got desensitized to Nazi zombie violence.
dan friesen
I can't speak to this from my own experience because most of my gaming life has been like Nintendo stuff, and that's all I've got.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but you played Skyrim.
You've killed your fair share of elves and vampires.
dan friesen
Pretty much just vampires.
jordan holmes
Pretty much just you killed some elves.
dan friesen
Oh, Jesus.
jordan holmes
Tell me you didn't kill some elves.
dan friesen
But I wasn't thinking of them as elves.
jordan holmes
What were you thinking of them as?
unidentified
Nazi zombies?
dan friesen
No, they had those shitty ears.
jordan holmes
Jesus, you're a kind of elf racist.
dan friesen
No, I like some of the elves.
Those underground races.
Which elves?
What are they called?
jordan holmes
The Dwamer?
dan friesen
No, I like the Delves.
jordan holmes
No, that's the dwarves.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
They don't exist.
The people who are all around it, though.
Those shitty assholes who were all around it.
What were they called?
jordan holmes
Look, fuck off.
dan friesen
I have stopped playing Skyrim.
I had my fill of it.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
But be that as it may.
Jordan, we've got to get to this next clip.
jordan holmes
We can't stick on Skyrim for the next one.
dan friesen
If you could come up with that race of elves that I liked killing.
jordan holmes
I think I might be right.
I think they were called elves.
dan friesen
I think their name started with an M.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
We got to quit this show.
If we're going to keep going with this.
dan friesen
So in this next clip, Alex Jones drastically overexaggerates his audience.
alex jones
Okay.
It was 3% that volunteered for the Revolutionary War.
But if you look at the Infowars audience, it's maybe 10% of the United States.
jordan holmes
30 million?
alex jones
Another 10% or so worldwide.
unidentified
Exactly.
alex jones
That's a conservative estimate.
dan friesen
That's a conservative estimate.
jordan holmes
That's a conservative estimate?
dan friesen
10% of the world.
jordan holmes
So 700 million people?
unidentified
Roughly?
jordan holmes
Roughly 770 million people?
Is that what he's talking about?
dan friesen
Conservatively.
jordan holmes
So that means that roughly a billion people.
All right.
dan friesen
That's crazy.
jordan holmes
That's exactly right.
I agree with him.
dan friesen
That's literal lunacy.
And you heard that soft guitar playing in the background because this is part of.
unidentified
I'm a big fan of the after the Revolutionary War.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Also, it bears mentioning that his reference to the 3% of the population was involved in the Revolutionary War is a specific reference to a group called the 3%.
jordan holmes
Boy, I bet it's got ties to white supremacy.
dan friesen
might not not so on the god on the 22nd What are we doing?
On the 22nd, Alex spent a lot of the time on his show talking about how Trump is putting these tariffs on China.
jordan holmes
That's a very good thing to talk about.
That's a really important thing to talk about because how that's going to affect and all of that stuff.
That's a really an important thing to talk about economically whether or not a trade war is really going to happen.
I mean, when you think about it, as has been reported, whenever China says that they're going to put a tariff on our pork sales, China owns most of the pork market in the United States.
So really, what their response is, is a non-response.
So ask yourself, when you talk about tariffs, if they are responding in such a way as they know that it's not really going to affect their own sales, what does that mean in response to Trump's saying that he's going to put tariffs on theirs?
Does he know that there isn't really a tariff there?
I'm sure Alex has an incisive and important commentary to make upon this fact that we're not sure what this really means.
dan friesen
I actually think that you, I mean, generally speaking, I think you're right on, but in this case, I think we're dealing with an entirely different situation.
Oh, okay.
He plays a bunch of clips and streams live Trump speech about this.
jordan holmes
That's not a good idea.
dan friesen
Putting these tariffs on China.
China doesn't do that.
jordan holmes
He has to know that anything Trump says live is going to disavow his own actual beliefs, right?
dan friesen
I would say from what I've been able to read and glean, this is probably going to cause a trade war.
jordan holmes
You wouldn't expect it.
dan friesen
And that's going to hurt the lower classes and middle class of America incredibly hard.
jordan holmes
Who would have guessed?
dan friesen
It's going to be a disaster.
jordan holmes
I can't imagine anything this government is doing that would hurt the middle class and the lower class.
dan friesen
One of the reasons that I base this on is when it was coming up to the point of making this announcement, it was kind of like people were talking about maybe Trump is going to do this.
The Chinese state newspaper China Daily warned, quote, history has shown the pinpricks of protectionism can ultimately lead to the shots of war somewhere down the line.
Great.
That's not subtle.
jordan holmes
That's definitely something that you want a state-owned newspaper to say.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
As a warning.
jordan holmes
Awesome.
Awesome.
dan friesen
Also, Jordan.
jordan holmes
Thanks, guys.
dan friesen
We need to keep into consideration.
This is so goddamn important.
Less than a month ago, Xi Jinping declared himself supreme leader for life.
jordan holmes
I don't understand.
dan friesen
That is a big move.
And as such.
jordan holmes
Anybody declaring themselves dictator for life, that's just a regular ⁇ that's the course of human events, Dan.
That's no big deal.
dan friesen
As such, he can't afford to look weak.
jordan holmes
Oh, no, of course not.
dan friesen
So in a moment where Trump is levying these tariffs, you have to assume that he's going to respond harshly.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
And now the fun part about this is that China has so many options of how to fuck with us without doing anything.
jordan holmes
Nah.
dan friesen
They can just slow down customs for no reason.
They can increase security inspections, slow down trade that way.
They can levy export taxes just randomly.
jordan holmes
Well, that's one of the benefits of having an autocratic dictatorship.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
They can delay paperwork, screw up boats.
jordan holmes
Oh, it's crazy.
dan friesen
We need for some.
jordan holmes
We lost it.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
We lost that paperwork.
Where did it go?
dan friesen
These sort of like little tiny things they can do and aren't illegal and only fuck with us are the reasons that we are completely outgunned in terms of a trade war with China and other reasons that are much bigger.
jordan holmes
Probably some of them being the fact that we've sold most of our business to them over time.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
But I would also argue.
jordan holmes
Unregulated capitalism.
dan friesen
I would argue that most likely what Trump is doing is posturing to show strength in a negotiation that will eventually end up leading us back to exactly where we started.
He's doing that, to use Alex Jones' terms, to virtue signal to his base that he's hard on China.
So he's doing all of these things, knowing at the end it all comes back to the beginning.
I think that's probably what's going on because the other possibility is a disaster.
jordan holmes
Well, and the same is true of stand on.
The same is true of Xi Jinping insofar as he has to appear to be the same strong man to his dumbass base that Trump has to be to his dumbass base.
dan friesen
That's what I'm talking about with you.
I just called myself supreme leader for life.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He has to present himself strong.
The two of them both do.
And I'm not going to go down the Alex Jones route of saying they got together and figured out this was the best way to both look strong.
jordan holmes
I would say it's more like they don't think it, well, it's one of those things where you talk about the difference between collusion and just working at similar purposes.
Like I'm sure they talked to each other and they were like, hey, I have to do this.
And he was like, I have to do this in response to that.
And they're both like, okay, cool.
Well, then we're going to do that.
And that was it.
dan friesen
So we've had some thoughts about the tariff that Trump has laid.
Varyingly reported as $50 billion and $60 billion.
It's unclear.
But Alex has a different take on it that I find way more troubling than any ideas about China, period.
alex jones
They were involved in deindustrialization, post-industrial era.
dan friesen
He's talking about the globalists.
Sure.
alex jones
Agenda 21, Agenda 2030.
It's a plea.
It's public.
unidentified
Trump has read it.
alex jones
Trump knew all this before I was ever on air.
Trump's dad was a huge donor to John Burch Society.
No!
His lawyer.
Roy Cohn was the head of the House and the Senate.
He ran both of them on American activities.
He was McCarthy.
Trump's best friend was McCarthy's power behind the throne.
What does that tell you?
The globalists are crapping themselves.
He's the opposite of a Russian agent.
That's why they're so scared.
Everything he does is for the country.
Everything he does is the classic default of what you do.
It is just mind-blowing right now.
dan friesen
So before you respond.
jordan holmes
I agree.
I agree.
dan friesen
Before you respond.
jordan holmes
It's just mind-blowing right now.
dan friesen
Before you respond, I just want you to keep in mind what Alex Jones screamed.
He's the opposite of a Russian agent.
Now, where are you at?
jordan holmes
All of the stuff he said is the most damning stuff you can say about Trump's dad.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, Trump's dad.
jordan holmes
Like, that's not a great way.
Look, Trump's dad.
Trump's dad was a fucking bullshit con artist.
unidentified
Yes.
jordan holmes
Trump's dad's dad was a fucking bullshit con artist.
Like, that is where they fucking come from.
Well, Trump's.
That's their entire existence.
dan friesen
Trump's dad, in that timeframe, being a large donor to the John Birch Society is a really troubling thing because the John Birch Society was founded by Fred Koch, who has discussed in the past, built the third largest oil refinery in the Third Reich.
He was a literal Nazi collaborator and also did business with Stalin.
Yep.
He is a mess.
And then his children, the Koch brothers, have created the Tea Party movement.
jordan holmes
Yeah, if you know a school shooter or a possible school shooter, point them towards Wichita, Kansas.
That's where the Koch brothers live.
dan friesen
Now, the idea about the House Un-American Activities Committee.
jordan holmes
Oh, no, no, no.
I've heard nothing but great things about them.
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
I heard they did the best work.
They got rid of all the Un-Americans.
dan friesen
Do you know?
jordan holmes
Don't you remember how the House Un-American Committee went down in history as being the most great committee ever?
dan friesen
Do you know how the McCarthy version of the House American Unactivities Committee started?
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, it was under Dies.
McCarthy didn't run it.
He just sort of ran it because he was a strong-armed figure.
jordan holmes
He was the biggest swinging dick in the room.
dan friesen
Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee grew out of the McCormick-Dickstein Special Committee of Un-American Activities, which spent most of its time harassing left-wing organizations, unions in particular.
unidentified
What?
dan friesen
But also trying to drum out Nazi influence in America.
So there's a little bit of good stuff in there, possibly.
McCormick McDickstein got started in 1934, according to records released by the Russian NKVD, the precursor to the KGB.
As early as 1937, Samuel Dickstein was literally a Russian spy, taking in monthly payments that by 1940 had totaled about $12,000 or present-day $133,000 adjusted for inflation.
The Russians had a code for Dickstein.
It was Crook.
jordan holmes
It was actually just Dickstein.
dan friesen
It was Crook.
jordan holmes
That sounds very crooked.
dan friesen
From the NKVD files, quote, we are fully aware of who we are dealing with.
Crook is completely justifying his code name.
This is an unscrupulous type, greedy for money, consented to work because of money.
A very cunning swindler.
jordan holmes
Hey, hey, if your code name is Crook, that's bad.
If the people who codenamed you Crook is like, this guy is a crook.
dan friesen
He's a swindler.
jordan holmes
For real.
dan friesen
That's really bad.
So the Special Committee on Un-American Activities grew into the House Un-American Activities.
jordan holmes
Have you so much decency, sir?
dan friesen
The McCormick Grew into the Martin Dyes Joseph McCarthy Committee.
And it came out of a person who was legitimately, literally a Russian spy.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
When the House Un-American Activities Committee landed under the leadership of right-wing Martin Dyes with Sam Dickstein on the outside, he was no longer useful to the Russians, so they cut off payments.
Though he served five more years in Congress and then later served as a judge in New York.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
From an article in.
jordan holmes
God damn it.
American history is filled with shit.
dan friesen
Yeah, from an article in The Guardian.
Hard, yes.
This is a quote.
The committee itself stumbled on until 1976 when Congress finally killed it off.
The damage it had done to American society is still visible today.
For example, in the almost almost physical horror of socialism and social democracy, after all these years, it's somehow fitting to discover that it was the brainchild of a traitor.
jordan holmes
It is.
dan friesen
All of the roots of the House and Senate Un-American Activities Committee comes back to a literal traitor.
And so that's why it makes it funny that Alex is like, this guy was McCarthy's best friend, and you think he's a Russian.
Well, I mean, the committee was a quite literally took $33,000 from the Russian society.
jordan holmes
Literally, in the sense that we use it now to mean figuratively.
No, literally, in the sense that the word literally means literally he was a Russian fucking agent.
dan friesen
And as far as I can tell, barring whatever might come out about Dana Rohrbacher, Dickstein is legitimately the only Congressperson who is, it's proved, was on a foreign government's payroll.
jordan holmes
That's unreal.
dan friesen
Like, is acting as a foreign spy.
jordan holmes
Unreal.
dan friesen
So now, as for the House Un-American Activities Committee and Roy Cohn, the history is a bit problematic.
Quote, in the book, Harvey Mattasow, he wrote this book called False Witness.
He claimed that he was an FBI agent who'd been paid to lie about his former friends and some of the people that he knew.
He used to work at a communist bookstore back in those days.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah, C-Books.
unidentified
I remember that.
dan friesen
And some of those people were in prison because of his testimony, whereas others were blacklisted.
jordan holmes
Everybody gave what books they could and in return received what books they needed.
dan friesen
It was a communist book hangout more than anything.
So some of the people that he had testified against were in prison, and some of them were blacklisted because of his lies.
He also named Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn as people who had persuaded him to give false testimony.
Mattasow was a paid informant who would go on to recant all of his testimony, mostly because it was all bullshit.
He claimed to know 126 communists who worked for the Sunday New York Times, although they only employed 100 employees at that time.
His false testimony led to union workers being wrongly imprisoned and the blacklisting of many people, including folk singer Pete Seeger.
Guantanamera!
unidentified
Wajita Guantanamera!
Guantanama!
Guajita Guantanama.
So Roy Cohn's involvement in that's the worst betrayal.
jordan holmes
To hear that Seeger?
To hear that Seeger was a traitor?
dan friesen
He wasn't.
The traitor was.
jordan holmes
Heartbreaking.
dan friesen
The traitor was Dickstein.
And Dickstein created the committees that became the witch hunt committees of McCarthy under the tutelage of complete monstrous asshole Ray Cohn.
And Roy Cohn, yeah, he is a Trump associate.
unidentified
Oh!
dan friesen
Oh, that is not good for any of them.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
You know, it's not great also.
jordan holmes
Hey, but at least nobody knows about this.
dan friesen
Oh.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
A lot of people do.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Just ignore it.
jordan holmes
Yep.
It's easy to ignore.
It's so it's the easiest the reason it's so easy to ignore is because we want to believe stuff.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Like, it's heartbreaking.
dan friesen
And the thing wants to believe are more heartbreaking.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, ultimately, when you get down to it, the history of America is the history of the worst.
And you don't want to believe that, just like just like with white people and your concept of whiteness or reparations or whatever it is you believe, you don't want to believe that every part of who you are and where you came from led to you dominating and being privy to the murder of millions upon millions of people.
And that's ultimately what it is, right?
Like, isn't that what being a white dude is?
Isn't being a white dude, every morning you wake up, if not conscious, at least beneficiary of the fact that you have destroyed millions upon millions upon millions of lives.
Like, how do you say to yourself in the morning, I deserve what I got or I've earned anything.
dan friesen
Because collective responsibility is bullshit.
unidentified
Fair.
jordan holmes
Fair.
dan friesen
That's nonsense.
Like, you didn't do anything.
You are not responsible for that.
jordan holmes
But at the same time, I'm the beneficiary of it.
dan friesen
Right.
So you can work on that.
jordan holmes
By killing all white people.
dan friesen
Nope, that's the wrong approach.
jordan holmes
Is that the wrong approach?
dan friesen
That's the wrong approach.
jordan holmes
I feel like that's at least number two.
dan friesen
You can work on it by recognizing the arguments that people in underprivileged positions are making, by listening, by understanding, by trying to help as best you can elevate their voices.
You can do those sorts of things.
That, I think, is the best you can do.
And recognize the places where you're in a social advantage because of coincidence.
The other stuff, the guilt, the like, I should kill myself because I'm white.
That's what all these minorities want.
Those sorts of things are all just the it's the equivalent of taking an argument to the wrongest possible conclusion.
You just take it down the road way too far and you end up in Stupidville.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
I don't know.
Anyway, I brought up Stupidville.
jordan holmes
I've never done that.
dan friesen
Never.
I brought up Stupidville for a reason.
jordan holmes
This sounds like a great transition about to happen.
dan friesen
Our next guest.
jordan holmes
We're in the middle of a great transition happening, Dan.
dan friesen
We have one last guest, Jordan, to talk about.
Okay.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
And she is an absolute resident of Stupidville.
This person sucks.
jordan holmes
All right, here we go.
dan friesen
We're talking about Laura Loomer.
jordan holmes
She's a, oh, she's a guest.
She's not a caller.
She's a guest.
dan friesen
No, she's a guest.
Oh, God.
Yeah, she's on to talk about a thing.
jordan holmes
That's a good sign.
dan friesen
So Laura Loomer is, boy, she's a problematic figure no matter where you go.
Even in the alt-right.
jordan holmes
What about the West?
dan friesen
The alt-right doesn't even like her.
unidentified
All right.
jordan holmes
So now, kind of hoping to see what she's got to say.
dan friesen
I found a bunch of articles that I don't care.
jordan holmes
Laura Loomer, I know her name.
dan friesen
She's been on before.
She's talked about how all Muslims are terrorists.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no.
I know her name as the more boring type of monster we deal with.
dan friesen
She was stalking Hillary Clinton for a little bit, too, going to all her book signings and trying to fuck with her.
Being like, ah, where's Huma?
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
That sort of shit.
But also, I found.
jordan holmes
Hey, David Letterman had stalkers.
That's fine.
dan friesen
I found a bunch of articles that, like, I don't fucking know how to even deal with this.
But, like, apparently, Cassandra Fairbanks and Lauren Southern were accusing Laura Loomer of raping a dude.
I have no idea how to engage with this because everything is too like, I don't know words.
I don't know what's going on.
And not because it's a woman being accused of raping a man.
That absolutely does happen.
But it's just because those characters in that, like, I don't know what to do with it.
jordan holmes
There's a strange triangle going on there.
In fact, she moves beyond triangle and starts going into like trapezoid terrorists.
dan friesen
And quite frankly, I care not to engage.
Whatever the reality of that stuff is, is absolutely outside of the scope of our what we were interested in is that she is a monstrous Islamophobe.
She sucks so hard.
jordan holmes
Right.
Truck.
unidentified
Hit her.
dan friesen
She's been spending spending a lot of time trying to research the Las Vegas shooting.
jordan holmes
You used a lot of words like research, and those are bad words when it comes to these people.
No, no.
dan friesen
I got to give her one tip of the cap.
Like, legitimately.
She's said a bunch of bullshit.
That's absolutely not true.
But she did make a video that demonstrated that she could get into the freight elevator at that hotel.
jordan holmes
And great.
dan friesen
No, it could work.
No, it is telling on some level because the people at the hotel had said that no one could get access to the elevator that would lead from the ground floor, the employee elevator, to the 32nd floor where the shooting took place.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
And she demonstrated that you could be beyond that.
The other conclusions that she makes and a lot of other stuff is wild bullshit conspiracy nonsense.
jordan holmes
All right.
Unfortunate.
That's an unfortunate development.
dan friesen
But that, meh, all right.
You showed that.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
Great.
Should send that to the hotel.
Tell them to beef it up.
Beef up that secure.
jordan holmes
Give them a call.
So anyway, go through the proper channels.
dan friesen
I've always wanted to do this, so I'm going to do this as if I was writing a tweet.
Okay.
I've never been able to do it.
jordan holmes
Wait, you're going to write a tweet on air?
dan friesen
I've never been able to do meme stuff, so I'm going to play out a meme.
jordan holmes
I don't like the way he pronounced that word.
dan friesen
So today.
jordan holmes
It's pronounced.
dan friesen
So today, Laura Loomer comes on Alex Jones' show to talk about covert investigation she did into.
I've got to check my notes here.
jordan holmes
Hmm.
To our listeners who are not watching the live stream, Dan looked Looked at his hand.
dan friesen
The Parklands.
jordan holmes
Ironically.
Oh, no.
No!
alex jones
In the next segment, but tell folks about this.
dan friesen
Yeah, so I conducted a hidden audio sting on the Parkland and Laura Loomer used to work for James O'Keefe for Project Maritime.
jordan holmes
Fucking course she did.
dan friesen
And so I think she got some of her tricks from him, and we'll see that here in a second.
laura loomer
Parkland organizers here in Florida, because as you know, today they're departing for D.C. for their really big March for Our Lives, which is going to be a three or four day palooza of liberals just gathering together in D.C. to protest Trump and protest the NRA and rally to take away our guns.
And so they held this meeting, and a representative for the Giffords Foundation, who is also a teacher in Broward County.
dan friesen
Real quick, the Giffords Foundation is a foundation that's run by Gabrielle Giffords.
Gabrielle?
Gabrielle Giffords.
What?
The former Gabrielle.
No, Gabrielle.
jordan holmes
Different Giffords?
dan friesen
The Giffords, the lady who was shot in the fucking head in 2011 in Arizona.
jordan holmes
Yeah, she's a crisis guy.
She's a crisis actor.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah, probably.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Probably.
jordan holmes
All right, sounds right.
dan friesen
She got shot in the head, and then what other people seem to forget about that event is that the guy just kept shooting.
jordan holmes
Can't remember that.
dan friesen
Killed a federal judge and a nine-year-old kid.
jordan holmes
What are you talking about?
dan friesen
Killed four other people beyond that, six people total.
jordan holmes
No, I'm not sure what you're talking about.
dan friesen
Straight up tried to assassinate Gabrielle Giffords.
jordan holmes
Don't know.
dan friesen
Shot her straight in the head.
Somehow miraculously survived.
unidentified
Oh.
dan friesen
And then since then, she has dedicated her life to trying to figure out a way that we can have more sensible gun control measures.
Yeah, good fucking crazy craziness that the Giffords Foundation would be involved with these Parkland kids.
jordan holmes
Sounds crisis-y.
dan friesen
Sounds insane.
Also, it bears mentioning that the guy who did the killing in Arizona in 2001, he was a guy whose name is Jared Lee Lochner.
Lochner, I'm giving him a broadband.
unidentified
Yeah, you are.
jordan holmes
I don't understand why that's happening.
dan friesen
He's a guy who also, unfortunately, left a bunch of blog posts in his wake after he died that carry a bunch of Infowars kind of rhetoric.
He says stuff like, quote, the government is brainwashing people by controlling language.
jordan holmes
Sounds right.
dan friesen
Sounds a lot like Alex. Sumerian.
Anyway, it's not weird at all that the Giffords Foundation is being involved and trying to help out provide ground support for children that don't know how to organize interstate rallies of their own.
It's fucking nonsense.
But this gets worse.
laura loomer
Bowney was caught on camera saying, well, on audio, saying a lot of really disturbing things, telling the students to make sure they have their talking points ready so that they get as much media coverage as possible and influence politicians.
dan friesen
I want to just talk about that really quick.
I think that's more an issue of them preparing students who are 16, 17 years old to know there's going to be people fucking with you.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Here are the talking points.
You don't want to go on TV and act like an asshole and then become a laughing stock.
This wasn't a concern that people needed to have 20 years ago, 15 years ago.
But now there's such a manipulative like, you know, that sort of stuff with the Sandy Hook people who were like, this guy was laughing right before he came on and gave his speech.
That's proof that he's fake.
Like, you don't want to have those bad optics moments.
And I don't think it's suspicious at all that this lady, Debbie Miller is her name.
She's a teacher.
jordan holmes
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
No.
It doesn't fucking matter.
It doesn't matter.
dan friesen
Jordan, you're not ready for what's going to happen.
jordan holmes
I'm not ready.
I'm not ready.
It just doesn't.
It doesn't matter.
You're responsible for it.
If you prepare them, it doesn't fucking matter.
They're going to go after you.
It doesn't matter what reality is.
It doesn't matter if every single fucking thing you say is right on target because they're going to lie about it.
And even if you say everything perfectly, they're going to pretend that you didn't say it perfectly.
They're just going to create a whole separate fucking reality wherein they pretend that whatever it is that the fuck you said wasn't the same thing.
It's insane.
We don't live in a world where reality fucking matters.
Matters.
Reality is gone.
dan friesen
Jordan, the concept.
jordan holmes
Like, I don't even fucking care.
Why would you even teach these kids PR fucking skills whenever they don't even realistically matter?
dan friesen
It's for the best.
jordan holmes
It doesn't matter.
They could come out and poop in their fucking hands and then eat it.
And they'd be like, well, that's fucking bullshit.
Like, it doesn't matter.
dan friesen
That's a sign they're.
jordan holmes
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
It's not going to change anything.
Like, why are we putting it on these children to actually fucking know a goddamn thing whenever adults should fucking show up?
Why aren't adults showing up?
Everybody is wondering.
Everybody is wondering.
I'm sorry, Dan.
dan friesen
I'm doing a timeout hand gesture because what you're screaming about, why aren't parents and adults showing up is the Giffords Foundation.
They are showing up to try to help because she got shot in the fucking head.
jordan holmes
I know.
dan friesen
And is trying to help.
jordan holmes
I know.
It's just, it's just, I don't understand.
dan friesen
I'm not trying to quell your passion.
unidentified
No, no, no, no.
jordan holmes
I know.
I know.
dan friesen
I'm saying that the Giffords organization and this lady who Laura Loomer has caught on video are manifestations of adults who are trying to help these kids express themselves accurately, sincerely, and in a way that's not going to hurt them for the rest of their lives.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
Here is the only thing that I feel about what's going on with, especially in regards to Parkland.
All of these kids are saying very, very reasonable things.
And it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter if they said unreasonable things.
dan friesen
Of course not.
jordan holmes
It doesn't matter if they said reasonable things.
My point continues to be, why are we preparing for what these people are going to say?
dan friesen
Mean the right?
These weird ding-dongs?
jordan holmes
Why bother?
Why bother acting like we need to have a PR strategy for when they attack us?
Well, because it doesn't matter what you say.
dan friesen
Here's why it matters.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Because they're kids.
jordan holmes
Who cares?
dan friesen
No, no, no.
Because they have the rest of their lives in front of them.
jordan holmes
Who cares?
They don't.
No, no, no.
dan friesen
I mean, let's face it, Jordan.
jordan holmes
None of us do.
dan friesen
Jordan, this meeting ostensibly is a teacher in Broward County talking to students That are going to go on this, what I would assume is a field trip/slash protest rally.
They have a responsibility as adults to be like, I don't think that when they're talking about talking points, it's like, you say this, you piece of shit.
Right.
It's more like, stay on message.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Do you agree with this?
If not, you don't have to do this.
jordan holmes
Keep in the pocket.
When people are throwing punches, keep your nose up.
dan friesen
Make sure you live in a media landscape now that there are going to be people who are going to.
And she doesn't even play it on the show, but in one of her undercover videos, she's like, the Broward County teacher, Debbie Miller, says there should not be any kids alone.
And I would say, even if it wasn't where you're going.
jordan holmes
There shouldn't even be any kids.
dan friesen
There's fucking adults alone.
Well, but even if it wasn't that, it's a field trip, basically.
unidentified
There's a bunch of people going with the.
jordan holmes
She might as well have said, use the buddy system.
dan friesen
Don't be unchaperoned.
There's some 16, 17-year-old kids who are going to D.C. They're hopefully trying to make the point that they want to make as supported by the Giffords organization run by a woman who was shot in the fucking head.
jordan holmes
Here is my argument against that, which is that who fuck.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
My argument against that is just who fucking cares?
It doesn't.
dan friesen
It doesn't matter.
jordan holmes
It doesn't matter.
There is no longer a conversation.
That is not a thing that is possible.
You're right.
So if you want to say we should get rid of all guns everywhere in the history of ever, we should go back in time and get rid of the guns that they had during the American Civil War or the American Revolution.
It doesn't matter.
No one gives a shit because the people who care about guns are going to twist and turn anything you say.
It does not matter.
They need to be gone.
dan friesen
I forgot to tell you one of the most fun things about this.
Yeah.
That whole YouTube ban that was going on for the gun videos.
jordan holmes
Oh, the gun videos?
dan friesen
There's this guy who makes really fun slingshot videos out of Germany.
jordan holmes
All right.
Slingshots are fine.
I'm all for slingshots.
dan friesen
And so he constructs guns, and he's concerned that his rights are going to be encroached.
I'm like, I'm constructing guns.
jordan holmes
Could you say this in a German accent?
That would make me feel better.
dan friesen
I'm not Alex.
I don't do shitty accents.
But his response.
jordan holmes
How would Bernie say it, though?
dan friesen
No.
His name was Georg something, and his response to it was, we should unionize.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Which is Jesus.
Which is a reasonable idea.
unidentified
Oh, that's two worlds colliding that Alex could never deal with.
dan friesen
A guy who makes gun construction videos on YouTube could never conceive of dealing with it.
We're creators for YouTube.
We should unionize.
We should make a union because they're encroaching our ability to make gun videos on YouTube.
jordan holmes
There you go.
dan friesen
Now think about this.
Think about this.
The only arguments that Alex and his ilk have at all in terms of remedying this is either unionizing or putting regulations on a business.
They have to go against themselves in order to.
jordan holmes
Anyway, yes.
All right, we're off topic.
We're off topic.
dan friesen
We need to get back to you.
unidentified
I'm sorry.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry.
I'm furious.
dan friesen
Laura Loomer sucks.
And it will cause us to get off track.
jordan holmes
Surprise.
Jordan is furious.
dan friesen
I hate her so much.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
laura loomer
She told the students that the Jews control the politicians in Washington.
So you also have anti-Semitism along with left-leaning bias.
And then she said, oh, this is super off the record, you guys, so don't repeat this.
And then told the press who are in the room not to listen.
But they don't even have the proper permits to have a march.
You have to have permits in order to have a march on Capitol Hill.
And the Giffords Foundation, which is tied to Gabby Giffords, you know, the congresswoman who was shot in the head in Arizona and now promotes gun control, failed to acquire proper permitting.
So they're having a rally.
And this teacher literally tie on audio encouraging students to break the law and storm the White House and march to the White House and raise hell.
dan friesen
So the permits.
jordan holmes
Permits.
Permits, Dan.
Permits are really important.
Permits are really important to the people who are fighting against getting shot in the head.
But the people who shoot people in the head aren't really concerned about fucking permits now, are they, Jan?
dan friesen
She dismissed the being shot in the head.
jordan holmes
Oh, the being shot in the head part.
Who doesn't get shot in the head?
dan friesen
A little bit of a talk.
jordan holmes
Hey, this is 2018.
Who doesn't give a shot in that fucking head?
So God damn it.
dan friesen
I watched all this.
You can find it on Laura Loomer's YouTube channel if you want.
It's very boring.
It also is very selectively edited in the same way that James O'Keefe's Project Veritas videos are.
jordan holmes
Strange.
dan friesen
But I will give Laura credit in as much as she allows full sentences to happen.
I won't.
Just sometimes they end up leading into other sentences that are unrelated.
unidentified
I don't.
jordan holmes
I don't give her a goddamn bit of credit.
dan friesen
So I want to address, first of all, the permit situation.
jordan holmes
Oh, you've got to have permits to you know, like if you look at if you've ever read the First Amendment, permits are huge.
dan friesen
That's part of the First Amendment race.
jordan holmes
Huge in the First Amendment.
dan friesen
But we have an understanding of civil order, and if you want to organize somewhere, and you're going to, it is for the best.
I'm not coming down on that.
What Debbie Miller in this video is saying is that they were unable to acquire a permit.
Not that they failed to acquire a permit.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
They failed to be given one.
jordan holmes
Strange.
dan friesen
Which is different.
jordan holmes
It's slightly different.
dan friesen
Slightly different.
jordan holmes
Can't understand why.
dan friesen
But they have a permit to have a rally.
So what they're going to do is have a rally, and then she says, with a kind of winking voice, if we all leave the same direction, yeah.
That sort of thing.
But I would argue.
jordan holmes
It's just fucking people, man.
dan friesen
But I would argue I've been to a hundred goddamn rallies in my life.
That's how they all go.
jordan holmes
Pretty much.
dan friesen
Everyone kind of just, are we going this way?
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
Here we go.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Yep.
That's not, and that happens on the right, too.
That's not like a left-right thing.
Permitting is such a stupid piece of this argument.
And I'm not saying that in some kind of flippant defending this protest, not defending other ways.
Like, I mean, when the KKK has a permit to have a rally, all right.
Good luck.
I'm fine with that.
jordan holmes
I think it comes to, well, it's one of the things that My girlfriend, who is a teacher in the CPS, when she was talking about the walkout that the students were going to have for the Parkland shooting, where they were like, everybody needs to fucking do something about this shit.
The administration of the school then said, okay, awesome.
It's our idea.
We're all going to have a walkout.
We're going to do 17 minutes of silence.
We're going to do the whole thing.
dan friesen
Trying to own it.
jordan holmes
At that point, you're like, well, then, what the fuck is this for?
Okay, great.
So the people who are complicit in this shooting happening are going to lead a pointless, meaningless protest, and then everybody's going to go back to school the next day.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Like, who fucking cares?
dan friesen
And I think that's the grander conversation.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
The shit conversation is the like.
jordan holmes
Oh, you didn't have a fucking permit.
dan friesen
Your student, or your school is Soros operated because they were fine with the world.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, right.
dan friesen
No, no.
The grander conversation is.
jordan holmes
Like, the real conversation is: why is anybody going to school?
dan friesen
There you go.
jordan holmes
But why are you look every day you go to school, your school gets money.
Every day your school gets money, your school is more susceptible to getting fucking shot up.
Everybody should fucking shut this shit down.
Period.
Shut down.
Like, frankly, like, I don't even want to go to work.
Like, it's a real thing where it's like, if we all could just fucking possibly, and we can't do it.
We can't do it because we all have to fucking eat.
unidentified
Well, we could.
jordan holmes
And that's the system that we live with it.
We can't have.
dan friesen
That's called aggressive capitalism.
jordan holmes
That's called aggressive capitalism.
We can't live in a world where a union, a real union, is fucking everybody.
And that's not a world that we can ever.
dan friesen
That comes back to the Dickstein shit.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
And the consequences that have come from that.
A goddamn Russian spy traitor created this visceral disgust that we have.
jordan holmes
God bless America.
dan friesen
In the name of patriotism and protecting America, he created, unintentionally or intentionally, a complete disgust about the idea of social democratic, like socialist democratic shit.
And it lingers to this day.
And we just got to fucking find a way to deal with it.
Anyway.
jordan holmes
All right, Dan.
dan friesen
The worst part about that clip.
jordan holmes
Oh, we got another clip?
dan friesen
No, the clear clip we just listened to was her saying that this teacher, Debbie Miller, claimed that the Jews run the politicians.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, but who hasn't claimed that?
dan friesen
Did you forget that?
Do we need to listen to it again?
jordan holmes
No, but again, Dan, that shit just flows off me at this point.
At this point, I'm like, well, who doesn't claim that the Jews run the politicians?
dan friesen
Let me see if I can cut back to and find it here real quick.
laura loomer
The Jews control the politicians in Washington.
dan friesen
Right.
I did that amazingly.
jordan holmes
That was perfectly thrilled to be a lot of fun.
dan friesen
You fucking nailed that.
So I went and pulled the clip that she's actually talking about when she says that the Jews.
This is from Laura Loomer's own YouTube video.
jordan holmes
When she clearly proves that she said that the Jews run the politicians.
dan friesen
No, this is a mic down moment.
unidentified
Okay.
It's not going to rain on Saturday, so yay.
I want to say something about the politician who said the Jews were in charge of weather, so you're welcome.
laura loomer
But that's not right.
dan friesen
That's what Debbie Miller said.
You heard that.
jordan holmes
I would say something, but they say the Jews are in charge of the weather, but that's clearly not true.
No.
It's a joke.
dan friesen
That's not what she said.
jordan holmes
That's a legit joke.
That's not a good joke.
dan friesen
That's not even what she said.
jordan holmes
It's not a good joke.
dan friesen
That's not even what she said.
She said, I would say something about that politician that said the Jews are.
Right, right, right.
This is a reference to Treon White, a D.C. councilman who recently said, and I quote, it started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man.
Y'all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation.
That's a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters.
They can pay for their own in these cities, man.
Be careful.
She's making a joke about this guy who said this a week ago.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
This isn't.
jordan holmes
It's not a great joke.
dan friesen
Still a good joke.
jordan holmes
It's a solid.
It's a solid bit.
She's playing to the crowd.
dan friesen
This is why this is a great joke.
jordan holmes
Why is it a great joke?
dan friesen
When Debbie Miller made that joke at that meeting, it was a eh joke.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's like there was laugh.
You could hear laughs because people had read that story.
jordan holmes
She got a medium response.
dan friesen
There were people who had read that story and they understood what she was talking about.
Ah, that's funny.
It's funnier because Laura Loomer was there.
jordan holmes
She was not fucking there.
dan friesen
She was at the meeting secretly recording it.
That's how she has this audio.
She was secretly recording all this.
So she secretly recorded all of this, then took it, then misrepresented it on Alex Jones' show, where they accused Debbie Miller of making anti-Semitic remarks about how the Jews run politicians, which isn't even close to what she said, on a show where Alex Jones has absolutely accused the Rothschilds of having weather weapons.
jordan holmes
But that's my fucking point.
It doesn't matter.
Why coach them?
dan friesen
No, this guy, Trayon White, absolutely was inspired by InfoWars.
jordan holmes
No, I know.
I know.
dan friesen
Whether it's Infowars period or an InfoWars surrogate site, he's inspired by it.
jordan holmes
But let me make clear what my point is: is that why bother?
Why bother pretending that there's a world where you can coach any PR person into saying something that the right wing won't turn into lunacy?
dan friesen
Right, right.
jordan holmes
Like, she's in a perfect world.
She nailed it.
That was a solid bit.
dan friesen
In a perfect world.
jordan holmes
There's no explanation for why you would give a fuck about these people.
These people need to be left behind.
Nobody should ever, ever, ever think.
Like, that's what I get.
That's what infuriates me about the idea of a centrist Democrat.
Let everybody go.
They are gone.
If you are somebody who is concerned about what somebody might misconstrue what you said into thinking, if you're somebody who's like, oh, well, the Southern Poverty Law Center said this, and so who cares?
They need to go, put forth an actual progressive fucking idea and let it go.
Say it.
Say it real.
Say it loud.
People should not be ashamed.
People should not pretend that there's a third way.
People should not pretend that you need to say things in the middle.
There's no middle.
There's these people who are fucking trying to murder us all.
And then there is the fucking rest of us.
The middle is trying to live.
The middle is trying to survive through the coming fucking apocalypse.
Fucking spending bill.
That is a compromise between the it's.
They're gone.
They're debt, they're fucking dead to us.
The idea that we should find a middle ground, the compromise doesn't exist.
dan friesen
When the other side wants your debt, the compromise does exist.
With the very, very rare people who are just conservative, that compromise does exist.
But unfortunately we live in a world where, you know, we talk about the Overton window so much and it's pulled so goddamn far to the right that I mean you know, like it's basically compromising with the center.
Yeah, to some extent that's the that's.
The battle that you have is compromising with the center, whereas people who actually identify as on the right are they're fascist at this point.
Yeah, like it's.
And you know what?
I imagine that there's a hypothetical world that exists where things went a different way and that maybe things went too far into socialism or something like that, and our country got too far down some road and we had a.
We had a uh yeah, like leader who had taken us down that dark path.
jordan holmes
There's tons of uh, alternate realities where anti-fascism goes too wrong.
unidentified
Well, not we're, we're too far against fascism.
dan friesen
I'm not saying that always fighting fascism is great, but like, always punch Nazis right, but like there is a way.
There is a way that liberalism and leftism is exploited also like uh, right with communist governments in the past, and like right if we want to go back to the uh, Alex Jones' Shitty Rhodesia metaphor, like with when Mugabe went bad.
Like there is a point where like, things are going that way and then I imagine there are people who are on the right who are like, i'm only able to compromise with the center, I can't compromise with the right, the actual left that exists now, but unfortunately that is not our reality, that is a hypothetical reality.
jordan holmes
Well that's, and that's that's my uh.
I have a long-standing beef uh with anybody who uses the word populist.
Right, because populist is not an it like the.
The word populist is always associated with that fascist leader that shows up with your Mugabi, not always fascist to begin with, but becomes it exactly right, that's what your populist is associated with.
It always winds up it's like it's, it's the idea.
It's the populist.
dan friesen
No, populist is uh shorthand for cult of personality.
It's all.
It's all just uh.
It's that nonsense.
It's, it's the I care about you, but it's the I in that sentence.
That's the most important right.
I care about you.
Oh man, they don't care about.
jordan holmes
You're getting real close to knowing what's up.
dan friesen
Well no, I mean that's.
jordan holmes
No, I know that's, but that's like, when we talk about those, those concepts and those ideas, the destruction of them always winds up being in the misassociation uh, or might be a word, the the association with populist to the dictator that arises from it.
Right like they.
The idea that if Bernie Sanders had won the Democratic nomination, right and become a the president, he would have then become Mugabe, right like.
That's the idea of populism that people associate it with.
And it is always.
It always comes back to that.
People done fucked up so bad that they're willing to do anything other than what's going on right now.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And that's where do we get Trump?
Like the idea of a populist.
Trump is not a populist.
unidentified
Trump is a fucking con man.
jordan holmes
Fucking.
dan friesen
Like, how many Alex is a victim of it?
unidentified
Exactly.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
Like, our entire show is a demonstration of him being a victim of a con man.
jordan holmes
It is a constant.
It is a constant reinforcement of the idea that we should let these people fucking go.
dan friesen
No, we shouldn't.
We shouldn't.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
I kind of think we should.
I kind of think we should.
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
I think we should drag them because there's not.
All right.
unidentified
All right.
jordan holmes
Never mind.
I'm going to let this go.
I don't think I can.
dan friesen
I don't know what's going on.
I don't know.
jordan holmes
You know what?
I really don't even think I can coherently make my point.
dan friesen
Let's go.
jordan holmes
So I apologize.
dan friesen
Let's screw up each other off air because we're done with the clips.
jordan holmes
I'm furious and I'm not nailing it.
dan friesen
We're done with the clips.
And Lauren Southern, who is not on this episode, can go fuck herself.
jordan holmes
All I can say is that she can go fuck herself.
dan friesen
But also, Laura Loomer, they have the same first name for the first five letters.
But you can check out our show.
jordan holmes
Oh, my God.
Are we done?
I feel like I did not dismount well.
I feel like I dismounted like.
dan friesen
Well, now's your chance, but you better do it quick because your boy got a pass.
jordan holmes
All right.
unidentified
All right.
jordan holmes

Hey, look, this whole thing has been a lot of fun, but I want to give a more abstract shout-out at the end of this episode to killing the rich.
No.
I mean, they should go fuck themselves.
But I would say Alex Jones' beholdingness to his gun sponsors can go fuck itself.
Eh, that's not good.
jordan holmes
Nah, it is actually very good.
dan friesen
And Mugabe.
