Today, Dan tells Jordan all about how it took Alex Jones approximately two days to walk back most of his "turning on Trump." More importantly the gents notice a trend of Alex looking to turn his audience into a straight-up doomsday cult.

Speaker Time Text
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
jordan holmes
I'm a first-time caller.
unidentified
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
alex jones
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple dudes who like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Indeed we are, Dan.
Dan?
dan friesen
How do you do?
jordan holmes
Dan.
dan friesen
Yes, sir.
jordan holmes
I, uh...
dan friesen
Got a beard hair stuck in my mic.
This is a disaster.
Anyway, sorry, go ahead.
jordan holmes
You know a lot about beard hair stuck in my mic.
dan friesen
I do.
You don't know much about it.
jordan holmes
Not anymore.
Not since I...
dan friesen
You smooth, five o 'clock shadow-looking motherfucker.
jordan holmes
Not since I sheared it off.
unidentified
Indeed.
dan friesen
I also know a lot about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
I don't know anything about Alex Jones.
dan friesen
Hey, how's that?
jordan holmes
There we go.
dan friesen
Guys, today we've got an interesting show for you.
We're going to be going over Monday, April 16th in the life of Alex Jones.
But before we do that, we've got to give a shout-out to a couple of our new donors.
jordan holmes
Oh, shit!
dan friesen
What's going on out there, Ian?
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
dan friesen
Congratulations, I'm becoming a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
It's amazing to me that you've only won the few Oscars that you have, Mr. McKellen.
dan friesen
Oh, okay.
Has he won an Oscar?
jordan holmes
He has to have, right?
dan friesen
Gotta feel like he has, but I bet he hasn't.
jordan holmes
He might not have.
dan friesen
Could be one of those massive, lifelong snub jobs.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
He'll wind up getting a, like, what is it?
Career Oscar or whatever.
Whatever Al Pacino got for Scent of a Woman.
dan friesen
I predict in the chat room people are just like, he's won seven.
You guys are idiots.
jordan holmes
I know Gandalf didn't win him an Oscar.
dan friesen
Certainly didn't.
But someone who does deserve an Oscar is our other donor.
What's going on out there, Elizabeth?
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
dan friesen
Thank you so much.
jordan holmes
Wonderful.
Thank you very much, Elizabeth.
dan friesen
If you would like to become a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Elizabeth Hurley, you look amazing for your age.
unidentified
She does.
jordan holmes
You're gorgeous.
dan friesen
Wonderful woman.
jordan holmes
With a nice little British accent.
dan friesen
If you'd like to become a policy wonk too, you can do so by going to our website, knowledgefight.com, clicking the support the show button.
I'd like to say there's a number of people who donated since Alex Jones turned on Trump, and we appreciate it so much.
jordan holmes
I assume they'll be canceling their donations immediately, right?
dan friesen
I have no idea why that rallied the troops, but man, I appreciate it.
We are shockingly close to making this work for me.
Like, living-wise.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
Yeah, we are getting ever closer, and everyone, I appreciate it so much.
If you would like to donate, we would appreciate it.
It goes towards survival.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it goes towards food.
dan friesen
Yeah, more or less.
jordan holmes
And, to a lesser extent, cigarettes.
dan friesen
And rent.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's a big one.
dan friesen
So, last we spoke, Jordan.
jordan holmes
Yes, last time.
dan friesen
We did an emergency episode that came out on Saturday.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And on that episode, we experienced Alex Jones telling Donald Trump that he is...
He's got some shit on his shoe.
He is not as big a man as Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Not just that, but he's got some shit up his dirty, hairy asshole.
dan friesen
And it's ISIS.
It's ISIS.
Yeah.
I believe so.
The other choice quotes were, fuck Trump and fuck everybody.
jordan holmes
Yep, that's a good one.
That's a good one.
dan friesen
He was in a...
jordan holmes
You fucking piece of shit!
Fucking fuck you!
dan friesen
He was in a real bad state on Friday night.
Let's check in how he's doing on Monday.
alex jones
Still, that Trump.
I just flipped out.
dan friesen
Alright.
Okay.
unidentified
Ah!
jordan holmes
You're so fucking boring!
dan friesen
This is so frustrating.
jordan holmes
You had ISIS up his dirty asshole!
That's your jump!
That's where you jump off!
How do you go back to somebody with ISIS up their dirty asshole?
dan friesen
Man, this...
We were talking before the show and I told you that there was a reason why I've been down in the dumps.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And I didn't want to explain it to you until we got on air.
This is fucking why.
This is so lame.
jordan holmes
This is so lame.
dan friesen
We had this possibility laying in front of us of like a complete narrative shift.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
We have like, oh my god.
jordan holmes
The world was our oyster.
dan friesen
After this year and a half of watching him just be a boot-licking jerk.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
We could finally see...
And I don't think that there...
Look.
I don't know.
I've heard some people in our Facebook group who are speculating of a return to the Alex of the past.
And let me be the first to tell you, there is no redemption.
jordan holmes
Oh, no, no, no.
Absolutely not.
dan friesen
There is no redemption story I'm holding out hope for, but I want something different.
jordan holmes
I mean, he's still a white nationalist at the end of the day.
dan friesen
Exactly.
And he has been.
jordan holmes
Trump is just not his white nationalist anymore, or wasn't.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And now he is again.
Pathetic.
dan friesen
I wanted something different.
I wanted a new flavor to experience instead of this shit on a shingle he's been feeding me for all this time.
jordan holmes
He had such an opportunity.
It's so disappointing.
It's weird for me to say to a white nationalist garbage fucking Trump-loving Pile of shit that I'm disappointed in you.
dan friesen
I'm pretty disappointed.
jordan holmes
But I'm pretty disappointed in you.
dan friesen
And as much fun as...
jordan holmes
I'm not mad!
I'm disappointed in you, child.
dan friesen
As much fun as we had with the, like, him freaking out drunkenly on air, I still thought it was petulant and stupid.
jordan holmes
Of course!
unidentified
But at the same time, you're like, hey, come on, dude.
dan friesen
Ride this momentum.
jordan holmes
I know!
dan friesen
Ride it.
jordan holmes
It would have been awesome!
dan friesen
You know what, though?
I don't know.
I can't figure out exactly what the situation is, because Roger Stone's not on this episode, and I don't know if he got a call from him or something.
jordan holmes
Money.
His money backers were like, uh, no.
dan friesen
I think it's not.
I think that he's still holding out some, like, you saw what I could do there, and I can do that again.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
All it takes is a little bit of Jack, and I'm going to do that to you again.
Because a lot of the coverage of it was like, how stupid is Trump?
He's lost Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
You know, that sort of thing.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
And so Trump took a little bit of a hit, I think.
jordan holmes
No, he didn't.
dan friesen
Well, I think...
jordan holmes
He still doesn't know who Alex Jones is.
dan friesen
I think in the online world, he took a little bit of a hit, and he probably...
I think that there was a possibility.
I don't know.
You're right.
What am I fucking talking about?
jordan holmes
Trump has no idea who Alex Jones is.
dan friesen
The only person who took a hit from that was Alex because he realized, oh shit, no one else likes me anymore except for Trump fans.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
What am I going to do?
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
He's the best I've got.
Rand Paul is not electable, even if you went back to him.
unidentified
Uh-uh.
dan friesen
Ted Cruz is a disaster.
You can't go back to him.
jordan holmes
Ooh, he's the Zodiac killer.
dan friesen
There's literally nobody else on the global scene that Alex could shift and be behind.
All he could do is go solo again like he had for a long time.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
When he was poorer.
dan friesen
Exactly.
jordan holmes
Money.
dan friesen
Exactly.
jordan holmes
Money.
dan friesen
All of that fan base.
jordan holmes
Money!
dan friesen
All that fan base would go away with him.
But I do think, here's what's interesting.
He is back more or less being like...
jordan holmes
In the saddle again.
dan friesen
He's gonna ride.
I do think that he's cucked himself out a little bit by going back.
But he's also, I think everyone who doesn't actually listen to Alex Jones' show is missing out on the larger narrative.
And that is, I think Alex Jones is about to lose his goddamn mind and turn this into an actual cult.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, he's gone so close to towing the line of Infowars being a cult.
And listen to this first clip.
I think it's the introduction of, like, things are not good.
alex jones
Most children out there can't even hold conversations.
I mean, society is collapsing, ladies and gentlemen.
And it's going to get a lot worse.
We need rehabs from cell phones.
We need rehabs from internet.
We need rehabs from television.
We need rehabs from the culture.
I'm telling you, if I had the money, I'd set up resorts with no TV, no radio, no newspapers, no telephones.
And with golf and Frisbee and swimming pools and volleyball and hiking.
jordan holmes
I'd sleep with underage girls.
alex jones
And they'd be the biggest hits in the world.
That's what people need.
I know they've got some of these people where people forest bathe and they've got these little places and these little cabins.
It's got to happen, folks.
We are dying.
jordan holmes
Did he get one of the Beach Boys to help him out?
Is he living with one of those guys?
dan friesen
Legitimately, how quick would that turn dark?
Alex Jones running a series of communes where you're not allowed to watch TV.
You can't have access to the outside world.
unidentified
No phones.
dan friesen
All we do is go swim.
jordan holmes
He's essentially talking about Dr. Kellogg.
Yeah.
We're going to go swim.
You get two enemas a day.
All we eat is this bullshit.
dan friesen
Yeah, he might as well be.
This is like...
I think, and this isn't the only time he brings up these sorts of weird fantasies, and now granted, in the Secret of 2017 episode that we listened to, he did start crying and talking about how we all belong on farmhouses.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
So that sort of thing is inside his consciousness already, but this is a different wrinkle to it, because he's saying, I don't even think, no matter what you do, you can make it in this world.
I think we gotta go to the woods.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Or whatever.
And it's gonna get worse.
jordan holmes
And I am the Unabomber.
They got the wrong guy.
It's me.
I'm the Unabomber.
Check out my manifesto.
dan friesen
That's why Alex thinks that the only thing in that Bill Joy article, Why the Future Doesn't Need Us, is the Unabomber quote.
Because he's so proud of it.
jordan holmes
Yeah!
Hey, I fucking wrote that.
No, there's no way he could be the Unabomber.
That was eloquently written.
dan friesen
Yeah, Alex is illiterate.
So, at this point, you know, we've got this, like, we've got to go to the woods kind of narrative beginning, which is not great.
jordan holmes
We gotta go to the woods.
dan friesen
I don't disagree.
I feel that way sometimes.
jordan holmes
No, I totally get it.
dan friesen
I just don't want a commune.
I want to be alone in the woods.
I don't want a cult.
jordan holmes
Could you also get a good massage at Alex Jones' resorts?
dan friesen
Probably.
Let me tell you, I've only got one massage in my life, and I'll say I'm not for them.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I've never gotten one.
dan friesen
One time I threw out my back, and at the time I was a member of a gym.
I had a masseuse there.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
And so I went and got a massage, and it was a comedy of errors.
It was just...
I was coming in as a 32-year-old dude.
I'd never gotten a massage before.
jordan holmes
So this was last year?
dan friesen
Like two years ago, yeah.
I didn't know what protocol was or anything.
Should I get naked?
What do I do?
jordan holmes
Do I jump in?
Do we talk a little bit first?
dan friesen
How do I tip?
With the tip.
It was all just so weird.
Anyway, speaking of weird things, the other thing Alex Jones needs to do is I've got to go back to my bread and butter.
I've got to go back to what made me, and that is chimeras.
alex jones
Suddenly you can go have a new humanoid made, grown in a tank.
They'll say, oh, it's proprietary, you can't see it.
The tank is a brainless cow.
And this is classified, but I got this from classified sources.
Most of this is already public, but they have brainless cows.
All they have is a brain stem.
So that they don't go through any pain.
That's called the tank.
And it's all in an enclosure.
And then the tanks grow the humanoids.
jordan holmes
I believe they're called the Benitalinlaxus.
alex jones
And they harvest the humanoids.
unidentified
In case you are a Frank Herbert fan.
alex jones
And by the way, that's in all the literature, but the part about how they call them tanks.
They admit they're growing them in cows now, but the new thing is they're going to call them tanks.
So no one even tells you that there's a cow in there doing this.
dan friesen
Okay.
Alright, Alex.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's literally Dune.
He's just describing Dune.
He just read Dune.
dan friesen
This is one of my, like, least favorite things about Alex Jones is the, like, this is classified, that sort of thing.
Well, now I can't look into this, but I can tell you that everything that is on the record about chimeras and you're, like, growing organs inside pigs and stuff like that does not involve brainless animal tanks.
jordan holmes
Well, now, let me ask you a question.
dan friesen
That part is slightly unrealistic.
jordan holmes
Let me ask you a question.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Is he really just kind of insulting, like, women?
Is cow like a euphemism?
dan friesen
No, no, he's talking literal cows.
jordan holmes
Literal cows?
dan friesen
Literal brainless cows.
jordan holmes
How could you grow a humanoid in a brainless cow?
dan friesen
You put him in there.
unidentified
That's it?
dan friesen
I don't know.
It's classified.
jordan holmes
You just cram them in?
dan friesen
I can't fucking look into it.
It's classified.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
Now I just have an image of a guy with a little egg and he's just like, Get in there, you piece of shit!
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
The science behind growing organs in animals and stuff like that that have slight human genes in them for the purposes of growing organs that can be transplanted into other people is really fascinating.
But it's not that.
It's not that.
jordan holmes
No, it ain't.
dan friesen
I will say, if that is going on, that's troubling.
jordan holmes
Troubling, if true.
dan friesen
I would like to see that classified information, Alex.
jordan holmes
I'm going to be honest, I would like to see that.
dan friesen
So Alex is clearly also, like we played in that intro clip, he's waffling on Trump.
But he speaks a little more on it in this next clip.
Like, where are his allegiances?
alex jones
I've wanted to support President Trump in that I know he's an anti-globalist.
I know the globalists hate him.
Sure.
The power structure doesn't like him because he actually wants to be the president.
dan friesen
Trump literally said, I am a globalist.
jordan holmes
Let me ask you a question, Dan.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
What also happened today in regards to Trump and quote-unquote hating the globalists hating him?
dan friesen
Is this the TPP situation?
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Oh.
jordan holmes
It is that he paused all the sanctions on Russia.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah, there's that.
Nikki Haley announced the sanctions.
jordan holmes
Yeah, we're definitely going to be doing that, and Trump was like, nah.
Ah, dude, we don't mess with Russia for any reason ever.
dan friesen
Yeah, I read an article in The Hill about that, and I'm willing to believe that Nikki Haley might have announced something prematurely.
I'm willing to believe that possibility, but at the same time, why wouldn't you do that, Trump?
jordan holmes
That's a good question.
dan friesen
I don't know.
It's weird.
Anyway, Alex, you know, Trump is anti-globalist.
Sure, sure.
Though all of these things, and him saying, I'm a globalist.
alex jones
Yeah.
I know he's done some basic things that are good for the economy and the country.
jordan holmes
Like a bitch.
alex jones
But if he starts going sideways to their agenda, it's the global awakening to what's happening and nationalism and populism that I am loyal to, not Trump.
And I'm not thinking Trump's even a bad guy.
He's surrounded.
He's being demonized.
He's being persecuted.
He's being lied about.
He's being pressured.
And there's the old trap of, sir, here's the intelligence.
Okay, bomb it.
My approval rating will go up.
dan friesen
That's not good.
If your guy is that stupid.
jordan holmes
God damn it, Alex.
You got it.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You figured that shit out.
How are you so stupid on everything else?
It makes perfect sense.
That's exactly why he bombed shit.
dan friesen
He's too busy thinking about these brainless cows.
jordan holmes
The last time he bombed something, Brian Williams sucked his dick.
dan friesen
Yep.
unidentified
Yep.
jordan holmes
That's how it works!
dan friesen
And now you can get that, you know...
That go in again.
You can go for a second ride.
jordan holmes
Oh, absolutely.
dan friesen
As it were.
jordan holmes
And everybody in government has always been itching to kind of get some of that, get their rocks off with bombs and shit.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
So even shit Democrats are going to support it, and they're going to be like, he's really tough on Syria and blah, blah, blah, while at the same time doing fuck all.
dan friesen
But now let's consider, too, like what he's talking about there is he says, my allegiances and my loyalty lies with the populace.
Populist nationalist movements around the world.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
If we count those down on one hand, we got Putin.
We got Marine Le Pen.
jordan holmes
She's great.
dan friesen
We got Geert Wilders in the Netherlands.
jordan holmes
Fantastic.
dan friesen
Those are the only people he seems to ever bring up as populist nationalist folk.
jordan holmes
Well, he's a big fan of Nigel Farage, too, right?
dan friesen
True, true.
Brexit, yep.
jordan holmes
Do we have any of the populist nationalists in Africa?
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Does he ever bring those up?
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
I mean, except for the white ones in South Africa.
dan friesen
Sure, the Sweetlanders.
Yeah, he does bring them up.
jordan holmes
Does he even know where South America is?
dan friesen
Does he know what populism is code for?
Does he know what nationalism is code for?
I think he does.
jordan holmes
I think he knows what nationalism means.
I don't think he...
Nobody should ever use the word populism.
It's so infuriating to me because it's a...
dan friesen
I know that triggers you.
jordan holmes
It's a non-word that people use to describe anything where it seems like, oh, yeah.
People are angry about this.
It's fucking stupid.
dan friesen
People are stupid.
I don't disagree with you.
jordan holmes
So is Brian Williams.
I'm pissed off at Brian Williams today.
dan friesen
Sure, Brian Williams sucks.
jordan holmes
He's a fucking...
dan friesen
But you hear this.
My allegiances are to this nationalist movement worldwide.
And it's like, well, all those people are proto-fascists.
So if that's what you're into worldwide...
Boy, I'll tell you what.
jordan holmes
Proto?
dan friesen
Well, or aspiring, because most of them lost.
Most of them lost their elections.
You can be a fascist as a civilian and it's fine.
jordan holmes
Listen, Maureen, you can be anything you want to be when you grow up.
I want to be a fascist!
dan friesen
Fuck!
jordan holmes
God damn it!
dan friesen
That's not what her dad would say.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
She was at school.
dan friesen
Oh, I was assuming it was at home.
jordan holmes
She was at a wonderful French private school where they were absolutely appalled at her behavior.
dan friesen
Right, right.
Something that is appalling again.
I can't do the transitions today.
You're going to be okay.
We started earlier in the show talking about Alex wanting to go to the woods, wanting this to be like...
And this is where he gets back to it, and it's more troubling than the last clip.
alex jones
But I've got to tell you, I don't think you can save your family, and I don't think you can save yourself at this point being amongst...
people that are like this.
I think I'm discovering the same thing that the pilgrims figured out in England and in I don't think you can live in this modern world and even homeschool your kids and get out of this.
jordan holmes
Don't do that.
alex jones
There's nowhere to hide, actually.
It's absolute cancer.
And it is the end of humanity.
And it's already got its tentacles all around our throats.
unidentified
Whoa.
jordan holmes
That's pretty apocalyptic.
dan friesen
That's a pretty apocalyptic culty right there.
The world is ending.
Kids can't talk anymore.
Everyone needs to get off electronics.
We gotta go to Alex Jones branded resorts around the world.
It's impossible to make it through life with these liberals all around you.
jordan holmes
All around you.
dan friesen
Even if you homeschool your kids, there's no way.
You can't do it.
jordan holmes
Which, again, you shouldn't homeschool your kids.
dan friesen
I, Alex Jones, am like a pilgrim.
Which is an inaccurate reading of the Pilgrim's history.
jordan holmes
Or actually, perhaps very accurate, because he is a fucking asshole who is absolutely a religious supremacist as well.
So, of course, we want to kick him out and make him go to somewhere else.
dan friesen
But then you get the Israelites in Egypt and it's like, are you enslaved, bro?
jordan holmes
Um...
dan friesen
Hey, bro.
Hey, bro.
jordan holmes
The liberals did it?
dan friesen
That metaphor might be lacking a tiny bit.
jordan holmes
It might be wrong.
Anybody who's done an exodus, that's his reference there?
What's your favorite exodus?
dan friesen
Ah, the book.
I don't know.
The book?
Yeah.
jordan holmes
It wasn't that great.
dan friesen
It was the Israelites, I guess.
jordan holmes
It wasn't that great.
It was kind of boring.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
They just wandered for 40 years.
dan friesen
I like that, though.
It's not about the destination.
It's about the journey.
I will say that I think he's probably pretty close to pitching himself as a modern-day Socrates.
I think we might be close to that.
jordan holmes
Oh, can we make him poison himself?
dan friesen
Well, to be fair, if you go and read it...
jordan holmes
Yeah, no, no, no.
dan friesen
You deserve that.
jordan holmes
Yeah, well, and not even that.
It was more like they were like, hey.
dan friesen
Please leave.
jordan holmes
Please leave.
If you don't leave, we have to make you drink poison.
We don't want you to.
dan friesen
Right.
We had all his buddies come and be like, we got a boat for you, let's just leave.
jordan holmes
Yeah, let's just go, man.
Let's have an exodus that would become one of Alex Jones' favorite exodies.
dan friesen
He got found guilty, and then the boule was just like, hey, you can choose your own punishment.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And he's like...
I think you guys should feed me for the rest of my life.
Like, alright, we're killing you.
jordan holmes
Alright, you're an asshole.
dan friesen
Yeah, you suck.
jordan holmes
You're a dick!
dan friesen
Yeah.
That's one of the things that I've always been fascinated by about Socrates is people thinking he was kind of just a questioner that was like, hey, I just like to provoke thought or whatever.
You're like, no, he was an asshole.
He was a straight up asshole.
jordan holmes
He was more like, they talk about the Socratic method as being like, you ask questions and bring people to their own understanding.
And it's more like the guy who's like, oh yeah, well, what do you think about that?
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah, exactly.
That sarcastic voice.
So, we covered it in nauseating detail, the Friday episode where he turned on Trump.
Here's his take on it on Monday.
alex jones
And I apologize to some of the audience that saw one of the live feeds that wasn't over the satellites, the TV stations, but I did here in studio for being angry and being a bit vulgar.
dan friesen
He's talking about the Twitter clips that we heard of him, like screaming and stuff like that.
He doesn't apologize for the Trump has ISIS up his dirty asshole.
jordan holmes
I was going to say, I feel like he should apologize to ISIS.
dan friesen
Or screaming obscenity to the point where Owen Troyer had to remind him we're out of delay.
alex jones
I try to control myself a lot, and...
It feels good to let yourself have an outburst occasionally.
It's cathartic.
dan friesen
Sure.
alex jones
Was it fake?
Absolutely not.
But did I let the dog out the chain?
Yes.
jordan holmes
Who?
dan friesen
Knock.
alex jones
Because if they can start to turn Trump one degree, they can turn him 180 degrees.
dan friesen
That's also not great to say about your guy.
That means compromise is impossible.
jordan holmes
Here's essentially what he just said.
If you turn Trump one degree, he is weak and pathetic and will go all the way easily.
There's no like Trump is going to meet you halfway.
There's either you get a little bit of a break in that armor and then you get all of it.
dan friesen
Yeah, there is no possibility.
A great degree is my boy can't govern.
jordan holmes
No.
No.
Absolutely not.
dan friesen
Now, he can strong arm, he can be a dictator, but your boy can't govern.
jordan holmes
Well, also, he can be very weak-willed and callow.
He's got that.
dan friesen
Chat room's reminding me he also didn't apologize for screaming about sucking on a ding-dong.
jordan holmes
Well, there's nothing to apologize there for.
alex jones
Oh, man.
jordan holmes
There's no apology.
dan friesen
Insinuating that Roger Stone was a beard.
jordan holmes
Yeah, well, I mean, Roger Stone, Roger Stone fucks.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So, the international community is largely of the mind that the gassing that took place in Syria was done by Assad or Assad's forces.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It absolutely was.
I think our position, I like our position a bit in terms of there might have been oversight on it.
There might not have been.
Who knows?
Those answers are impossible to know, really.
jordan holmes
All kinds of stuff.
I feel like a lot of people discount the fact that everybody...
Is kind of shitty at their jobs.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
One day of the week.
dan friesen
That's why the expression the fog of war exists.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
And they were just probably...
Like, frankly, it's entirely possible that the people in the helicopter who were dropping those bombs, or the plane or whatever, were just like...
unidentified
Oh, shit, we labeled these wrong!
Fuck!
dan friesen
I think that's too easy and out.
It is too...
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
Why are they playing in the first place?
You know, that kind of thing.
dan friesen
But be that as it may, there's also...
jordan holmes
But on the other hand, the first rule of Syrian Boy Scouts is be prepared to...
Drop chemical weapons.
dan friesen
Why not?
There's also a story that's coming out today, I believe.
I believe it was today.
It might have been yesterday.
I'm not entirely sure.
But about Russia blocking investigators from looking at the sites.
jordan holmes
I can't imagine why.
dan friesen
And that's certainly very confusing.
jordan holmes
Is it because they also helped cover up the sites themselves?
dan friesen
It does look that way.
jordan holmes
I could.
dan friesen
But Alex, in the middle of the show, accidentally reads an anti-Russian headline about the Syrian situation.
And here's how he deals with it.
alex jones
A new breaking article.
Let's put that on screen because I've been showing what the Russians are saying.
I want to show it.
Syria strike live updates.
Russia may have tampered with chemical attack sites.
U.S. envoy says, yeah, they wouldn't let him in the day of the bombing because the road was closed.
So now the U.S. envoy saying the British group trying to go and test for chemicals might have been blocked.
That's Harat saying that.
dan friesen
Okay.
unidentified
The road was blocked.
jordan holmes
That's a...
unidentified
Pfft.
dan friesen
That's a stunning dismissal.
jordan holmes
A lot of war-torn countries, you're like, oh man, if this two-lane road is blocked, guess we're done.
dan friesen
Seems like that would be a very different story, because that's really easy to, you know, suss out.
jordan holmes
Road was blocked.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Hey, that happens.
dan friesen
Very different than being stopped from...
jordan holmes
Oh, it's like when I'm on the red line and they're like, there's going to be delays because there was a chemical weapons attack at Chicago and State.
And it's like, ugh, again.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I know.
You can't avoid it.
dan friesen
It's a real pain in the ass in this Chicago commute.
jordan holmes
I know.
It's like an extra 12 minutes.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So I mentioned to you up top that Roger Stone is nowhere to be found.
I don't know what he's doing.
He might be hiding out.
jordan holmes
Escaping?
dan friesen
It's entirely possible.
So Alex has got to get some other folks in to fill out the show.
And so he has Gerald Salenti on.
It's kind of boring.
Of course.
It's a continuation of the Joel Skousen appearance from Friday.
jordan holmes
Tell me I'm a good boy.
dan friesen
Yeah.
There is stuff like where Gerald Salenti is like, you didn't do anything wrong?
unidentified
No, no.
dan friesen
If Trump went bad, it's not your fault.
jordan holmes
Oh, no, no.
dan friesen
He did that, not you.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
unidentified
No big deal.
You did good.
jordan holmes
You did good.
And look, I like that you're supporting him again, too.
You know what?
You go back.
dan friesen
Go back to him.
I think Gerald Salenti is actually 50-50 on it.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
He doesn't seem to have, like...
He just wants to talk about trends and money markets and stuff like that.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
He's more interested in that, so I don't even think he...
jordan holmes
I want to talk to the Infowars staffer who watched that video and then the next day was like, Oh, shit!
I'm going to get to do some exciting shit now!
And then has to go into work on Monday.
dan friesen
I don't think even Monday, because he put out a video on Saturday and his Sunday show also just being like, I have no backbone.
jordan holmes
I will give in to anything.
I'm so weak.
dan friesen
So weak.
Low energy.
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Pathetic.
dan friesen
Actually, he's pretty high energy.
That's not the criticism I can give him.
jordan holmes
Still sad and pathetic.
dan friesen
So the other guest that he has on here on Monday's show is a gentleman by the name of Paul Craig Roberts.
Paul Craig Roberts worked in Reagan's Treasury Department.
I believe he was an undersecretary in the Treasury Department.
Okay.
And we'll get into some other troubling pieces of his history, but here is a clip.
jordan holmes
So once again, to reiterate how bad Reagan's administration was, eventually half of them show up on the Infowars show.
dan friesen
Exactly.
Here's a clip of him talking about how Russia is great, I think.
paul craig roberts
He's clearly under attack.
Or has been from the military security complex because of his original statement that he would normalize relations with Russia.
That statement was a huge threat to the budget and the power of the military security complex.
And that's where Russiagate and all the other false accusations that have been used against Trump to force him into a militarist position.
dan friesen
That's something.
jordan holmes
You know, that's actually a really good thought.
I mean, it's dumb in the way that he's dumb.
But it is kind of an interesting thought.
Whenever you take in how many hard-right Russia hawks there are, wherein they're just like...
We fucking loved the Cold War.
dan friesen
Maybe our national security advisor right now?
jordan holmes
Yeah, it seemed awesome when we were fighting the Cold War.
All kinds of good shit happened, right?
So let's just keep on doing that.
It's way better than fighting these Middle East wars.
Those cost a shit ton of money.
dan friesen
This is another piece of the equation that we haven't really discussed nearly as much, and that is that Bolton is also a kind of anti-Russia hawk guy.
So, like, his introduction into the fold probably has to creep out Alex a little bit now.
Like, I don't think he was worried before because he had Roger telling him he's an apparatchik and shit like that before.
But now I think he's got to be worried about that.
And he does say a couple of things about Bolton being like, fuck this guy.
He's been in for a week and now we're by.
jordan holmes
Right.
unidentified
Now...
jordan holmes
The other take on that is Bolton is actually the janitor from the Looney Tunes cartoons.
dan friesen
That's possible.
jordan holmes
If you recall.
dan friesen
I think that's one of his early roles.
jordan holmes
That was back when his mustache was still a little darker gray.
dan friesen
So, the other thing that we need to take into account, I think is important, is that Paul Craig Roberts has written for Sputnik and Russia Insider since at least 2014.
jordan holmes
It's tough to find a blogging gig, man.
dan friesen
Since 2016, he's written for Alexander Dugan's think tank's website, Katehon.
jordan holmes
Is Dugan hiring?
dan friesen
I think he's got a full staff.
jordan holmes
I could use a regular gig.
dan friesen
He's got a full staff, and they all mysteriously pop up on Alex Jones' show.
jordan holmes
It's really strange.
dan friesen
Giving narratives that all are mysteriously pro-Russia.
jordan holmes
It's a coincidence.
dan friesen
So here's some of the articles that he's written for Sputnik.
Will Putin realize that Russia holds all the cards?
Washington is destroying the world.
American government cannot be trusted to tell the truth.
Washington is defaming Vladimir Putin.
Putin calls out Washington.
Privatization is the Atlanticist strategy to attack Russia.
Just in that headline, we have the Atlantis versus Eurasia.
You have the Eurasianism narrative coming in.
Even just in that headline.
So he's buying into that divide.
jordan holmes
Just based on the headlines, I would give him a 500 batting average for stuff that makes sense.
dan friesen
Well, here's some more.
jordan holmes
Like, hey, Dan, you can't trust the American government to tell the truth.
dan friesen
Right, but it's different.
jordan holmes
That's just a true thing.
dan friesen
It's different when you're saying that on a podcast or like apropos of nothing, just making a statement.
And when you're doing it on Sputnik, when you're writing an article for a statement.
jordan holmes
I'd say it on Sputnik.
I'd do it right now!
dan friesen
This podcast would be over if you did that.
jordan holmes
Why?
dan friesen
Because I would be very opposed to that.
I'd be very opposed if you did that on...
jordan holmes
MSNBC?
dan friesen
NPR.
jordan holmes
NPR?
dan friesen
Well, I was trying to think of like...
jordan holmes
I feel like if I said you can't trust the American government on NPR, I would...
Well, one, not be allowed on NPR.
I'm too loud.
dan friesen
We'd get some ratings.
jordan holmes
Very loud.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And two, they'd be like...
unidentified
Hmm.
Hmm.
dan friesen
I think that there's a difference between places that are legit state-run media and places that aren't.
I think there is.
Although we're fastly approaching a time where it's not.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I was going to say.
Also, the only real state-run media is Fox News at this point.
dan friesen
Like, in America?
jordan holmes
Or maybe the only government that's run...
By media is ours.
dan friesen
Because NPR, beyond listener funding, has grants and endowments from the government and stuff like that.
There's Voice of America and shit like that.
jordan holmes
Right, but the state clearly isn't using NPR as their mouthpiece.
No.
And it seems like there is a pretty solid Fox News control over the entire government.
When the president watches Fox and Friends and is like...
Those are some good policy ideas.
We're not in a good place.
dan friesen
So here's some more headlines that Paul Craig Roberts has written for Russian media.
jordan holmes
Steve Doocy's great.
dan friesen
America has no unifying moral culture.
It will lose a war with Russia.
Will Russia wake up?
The West seeks its destruction.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
So, I don't know.
Seems like he kind of is a Russia guy.
jordan holmes
A lot of apocalyptic people.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Everybody's really apocalyptic lately.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I can't imagine why.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Also, if you believe in the pre-Trib rapture, I think now's the time to let it go.
I think Trib is kind of happening.
I think that's in play.
dan friesen
Why don't you go get a timeshare at one of Alex's resorts?
jordan holmes
I might.
You know, I've heard timeshares are great investments.
unidentified
Indeed.
dan friesen
I've heard that on timeshare commercials.
The thing that I'm taking away from this is that you've got Paul Craig Roberts coming in and telling Alex, you know, like, more or less, Russia is a good guy.
They're the good actors here, which Alex already believes anyway.
And they talk about, they talk more or less just, like, that's the...
That's the driving point.
And then when you look into his past, he's written for Russian publications incredibly anti-American things for a very long time.
And it's weird.
jordan holmes
It's fucking weird.
dan friesen
I mean, it's not...
It's definitely...
Not a trend we have not seen on Infowars.
jordan holmes
It is one of those things where somehow it is far more effective to have a guest on that just echoes the shit that you've already said, so you can echo it back to them.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
It's kind of almost a peer pressure kind of situation.
dan friesen
It's no coincidence that he's here now.
jordan holmes
Right.
Oh, no, of course.
unidentified
Of course.
dan friesen
Call PCR.
We need some of that good old Russia didn't do it juju.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can do that or you can call Shaggy.
Those are...
dan friesen
Russian Shaggy.
It wasn't me.
But I saw you with the cylinder.
It wasn't me.
jordan holmes
Trying to try and do that in a Russian accent.
dan friesen
I saw you gassing your own people.
It wasn't me.
jordan holmes
In my country, people gas you.
unidentified
All right.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
I almost met him one night.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah?
dan friesen
Yakov Smirnoff.
jordan holmes
You did?
What were you in?
Missouri.
Nashville?
dan friesen
No, we were in Springfield.
Our friend Tyler Snodgrass is friends with Yakov.
He used to write jokes for him before he moved to Chicago.
jordan holmes
Why did I not know this about Tyler Snodgrass?
dan friesen
Boy, I hope that's not private information.
jordan holmes
How have we not?
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's talked about it.
I'm sure.
But we did a show at the Blue Room in Springfield, I believe.
I believe that was the name of the place.
And Yakov came out to the show because Tyler was in town.
unidentified
Because of course he did.
dan friesen
And it was embarrassing just watching people want to come talk to Yakov Smirnoff.
Nothing against him.
He's a legend in the game.
I guess.
He's a legend.
But at the same time, I was like, I don't want to fucking go get in a crowd to talk to Yakov Smirnoff.
I felt very weird about just being a fanboy for Yakov.
jordan holmes
Well, are you a fanboy for Yakov?
dan friesen
I respect him.
I don't like his comedy, but I respect him.
jordan holmes
Right.
I would like to see you...
In a picture with Yakov Smirnoff, with his arm around your shoulder giving you the thumbs up?
dan friesen
If we could go back and do it all over again, I would like that to exist, but I'm glad I didn't betray my principles.
Oh, sure.
jordan holmes
Yeah, we could never do this show if you've got a Yakov Smirnoff connection.
That's pro-Russia all the way.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
jordan holmes
Where is he from?
I don't think it's Russia.
dan friesen
Yakov?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I think he is.
jordan holmes
You think he's Russia?
unidentified
I don't know.
dan friesen
He certainly acts like it.
jordan holmes
It's interesting.
dan friesen
Interesting.
I never thought to look into it.
I never cared.
jordan holmes
I want to say that he was from part of the former Soviet Union, but he wasn't actually from mainland Russia.
dan friesen
The timeline matches up.
That's entirely possible.
So, at this point in the show, he also brings in the man, the myth, Dr. Steve Pachanek.
unidentified
Ooh!
jordan holmes
Where's Dr. Steve Landon?
dan friesen
He's just like, he just wants Alex to shut up, kind of, I think.
jordan holmes
Alright, I like it.
dan friesen
I think he's sort of like...
I know you had to have your outburst, but, like, stop it.
I think at this point Steve is kind of sick of Alex's shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I think he wants him backing Trump, because that's the easiest status quo for him to defend.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And it gives Steve a good footing.
Because I think Steve realizes that without Alex Jones, his credibility goes away, too.
Because he's not on anyone else's show.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
What does he have, then?
A blog?
jordan holmes
Yeah, but what else is Steve...
Like, how old is Steve?
dan friesen
I'd put him at 60-something.
jordan holmes
Yeah, so this is...
dan friesen
A healthy 60?
jordan holmes
This is really Steve's last game.
Like, if at any point in time, if InfoWars dries up, he's gone.
dan friesen
He's got 20 years ahead of him.
jordan holmes
No, no, no, but not in any kind of media form.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
If he's not involved with InfoWars, and he can't roll with the punches, if Alex changes the narrative, Steve isn't rolling with it.
dan friesen
I think he could.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah?
dan friesen
I think he could.
Yeah, I think he could.
But he would be the one...
He would work it in such a way that he's leading the horse.
You know what I mean?
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Like, he'd be able to manipulate Alex.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Whatever Alex's next wrinkle will be probably Steve Pachanik masterminded.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I mean, we've seen this already.
jordan holmes
I'm not disagreeing with you.
dan friesen
We've seen Steve manipulate him so easily.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, it's not hard.
dan friesen
No.
The two of them kind of fight a little bit.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Because it's just sort of a, like...
No one's in a good place post-Friday.
Right.
I'm not.
Alex isn't.
Pachanek isn't either.
jordan holmes
It's going to take a week before everybody just lets everything go.
dan friesen
Before we get back to normal.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Pachanek isn't thrilled because it's an embarrassing thing to be associated with.
Alex isn't in a good place because he realizes, can't get that off the internet.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
And boy, I'm...
Really need to go back into the Trump camp.
jordan holmes
Ooh, boy, howdy!
dan friesen
Yep, that's embarrassing.
jordan holmes
My bread just got less buttered.
dan friesen
And so they just sort of talk about that.
It's not a very interesting interview.
But one thing that I think is incredibly interesting is that Steve...
jordan holmes
Has opened up a new finishing school.
dan friesen
No, that would be fascinating.
jordan holmes
That would be fascinating.
dan friesen
They're at every single one of Alex's resorts.
jordan holmes
Yep, yep.
dan friesen
Steve Pachenik's School for Ladies.
jordan holmes
I assume you have to balance a book on your head.
I hear that.
dan friesen
There's cotillion classes.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
He creates debutantes.
jordan holmes
Right.
Who call their mothers regularly?
dan friesen
No, that is not.
So, what we have is that Steve Pachenik is appearing with a painting behind him.
And the painting...
jordan holmes
Hung up?
dan friesen
The painting has...
jordan holmes
How's their boy?
dan friesen
I watched him a while back, and I don't know.
jordan holmes
Is he okay?
dan friesen
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I was worrying.
I'm seeing people talking about the suffix tard being attached to words.
Now, that's not cool.
jordan holmes
No, it's not cool.
dan friesen
I agree with it, but I was worried that we had said something.
jordan holmes
No, I don't think.
dan friesen
It was something in the chat.
I got very scared that we had been assholes.
But be that as it may, I've got to stop saying that.
Yeah.
So Steve appears with a painting behind him that is heavily breasted.
There's titties.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
It is just a slightly pornographic image of a guy coming down, some sort of figure grabbing a woman with her breasts out, and it's incredibly weird, and they don't bring it up for the first segment.
That Steve is on.
jordan holmes
I'm guessing Steve had to pose for a long time for them to make that portrait.
dan friesen
Steve absolutely did this on purpose.
jordan holmes
He did this on purpose?
dan friesen
He's broadcasting in front of a fucking painting that's square behind him with huge titties on it.
He did that on purpose for sure.
Absolutely.
jordan holmes
Alright.
Was he also broadcasting from an 80s car wash?
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Set up to save the rec center?
dan friesen
Nope.
This is his office.
And so Alex finally brings it up, and I think it's invalidating on a number of levels.
alex jones
And then they're just always going after Trump, and then there's nothing there.
So now it's his lawyer, and now it's some other Republican paid a million and six to some woman.
Who cares, man?
jordan holmes
It's crazy.
It's corruption.
alex jones
But this art.
Let me analyze it.
Last Friday, Petrenic was on.
He doesn't normally have this.
A grotesque DeviantArt up here.
And I couldn't really analyze it.
I didn't think to analyze it.
I saw it was like military folks that looked like vampire bats, you know, out doing something or maybe showing how the evil of war has corrupted the human soul.
But this one, this one, I'm going to describe it right now.
That's a Lucifer figure up there at the top that you really can't see that has wings that are satellite solar panels.
Showing it's like the artificial god in the sky that Lucifer wants to be, this technocracy.
You've got the U.S. military and people that are patriots trying to lift up the Mary, Earth goddess, Christ figure image that's been struck down by Lucifer and this whole system.
And it shows the struggle between these two archetypes there.
So I would call this the Fruit of Lucifer is the name of this art piece.
dan friesen
So the reason that...
jordan holmes
Oh my God!
Alex the art critic?
unidentified
Fuck!
jordan holmes
I want to go to a museum with Alex.
I want to go to a museum with Alex so bad.
dan friesen
That would be great.
He'd be very angry.
jordan holmes
Alex, you are invited to the MoMA in Chicago.
Please.
dan friesen
Oh, that'd be great.
jordan holmes
We will talk about nothing but art.
dan friesen
There's got to be a museum down in Austin.
We can invite him to while we're there.
Oh, of course!
Steve corrects him.
Tells him what the art is actually about.
But the thing that I think is more important is that this...
A presentation from Alex, because you can even hear him say this satanic deviant art in a joking way.
Right.
And then he explains what he sees there, and he says the end of it, it's the fruit of Satan.
jordan holmes
You know, because women.
dan friesen
He doesn't care that Steve Pachenik has weird art, but that's what he screams about all the time with John Podesta.
jordan holmes
That he has weird art.
dan friesen
Right.
But that means some sort of, oh, he's sick in the head, he's got this deviant art all around.
jordan holmes
What is deviant art?
dan friesen
It's anything that Alex thinks is weird.
jordan holmes
I know it when I see it.
dan friesen
Yeah, exactly.
It's like porno.
Yeah.
But, like, this is key.
I think Steve Pachenik broadcasted in front of that painting intentionally.
jordan holmes
Just to fuck with Alex's head?
dan friesen
Yeah.
Or not to fuck with his head, but to, like, that ruins his argument about John Podesta.
That whole thing goes away.
jordan holmes
Pachenik does not care about Podesta.
dan friesen
I think he's subtly trying to undercut a bunch of, and maybe this is fantasy booking on my part.
jordan holmes
Yeah, this is you acting as Alex the art critic.
dan friesen
But his behavior, like Steve Pachenik very clearly intentionally broadcasted in front of that picture because he broadcasts in front of a bunch of different things.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Like that one day he broadcast in front of a flowchart of hip-hop artists.
You know, like he broadcasts in front of things.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
It's not.
jordan holmes
He does tend to have a little bit of fun.
dan friesen
It's not like a riddle, but he has a, like, oh, I'm going to broadcast from here with this behind me today.
He's doing that, I think.
Here's my theory, and again, I have nothing to back this up.
I think the next six months, what we're going to see out of Steve Pachenik is one by one.
Providing evidence why everything Alex Jones has stood for has been bullshit.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
But you have to pay attention.
unidentified
I like this.
dan friesen
Every single thing.
jordan holmes
His pagenic is all about Easter eggs?
dan friesen
Exactly.
jordan holmes
That's what he's doing?
dan friesen
Next episode, he's going to be eating Greek yogurt.
jordan holmes
That would be fantastic.
dan friesen
That's what I think is happening.
It's probably not, and I'm just bored sitting here in the satellite of love, basically, watching this shit.
jordan holmes
Very nice.
dan friesen
I like to believe, I like to believe that Steve Pachanek is doing something interesting.
He's probably not.
jordan holmes
Now, looking at this sculpture, we can see that this woman has large breasts but no arms.
I assume that's God removing the arms of women for having breasts.
dan friesen
What if Steve Pachanek, a couple episodes from now, has, like, Le region de monde behind him.
That big painting of a world coming out of a pussy.
Or what if he has that skull covered in semen?
jordan holmes
Oh man, if he was just holding it the whole time?
If he had turned it into a chalice and was just flavor-flaving it the whole time?
Love it.
dan friesen
Or it's just behind him and he never mentions it.
That would be pretty amazing.
jordan holmes
There's a weird sheen, so you know there's something fresh on top of it.
dan friesen
You're talking about Charlie Sheen?
alex jones
Yeah.
jordan holmes
No, I was talking about the light reflecting off of it in a very evocative way.
dan friesen
So this next clip deals with a little bit of difference.
We're in this no man's land of I love hate Trump.
There's a Schrodinger's Trump going on.
In this clip, Alex is sort of expressing that Trump is good.
alex jones
Trump is good because the globalists legitimately hate him.
It's not a fake.
It's not a faint.
It's not a game.
It's not a smoke and mirrors.
And he's not perfect, and I don't expect him to get everything done that's right, but he knows all about Syria.
He knows all about the rebels being sent in by the globalists.
He knows.
He told McMaster, no, we're not toppling Assad.
Assad's already agreed to leave.
He wants to.
He grew up in England.
He doesn't want to be there.
He said, stabilize and have elections.
I'm gone.
They've almost killed him.
jordan holmes
Happens all the time with dictators.
alex jones
They let bombs go off within hundreds of yards of him.
Last time I read, like over 50 times.
dan friesen
That sounds like someone bragging about their dad telling a not true story.
unidentified
Yeah.
alex jones
My dad could beat a pure dad.
Once out of there?
jordan holmes
No.
alex jones
So, it's just incredible.
We're being sabotaged.
And you know, when I talk about Hillary and people, here's the thing.
The bottom is falling out.
I don't know exactly what's going on.
dan friesen
You could just stop there.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that would be a great sentence to end with a period.
dan friesen
And now...
Is the time for Larry Nichols to come back?
He's not on the show, but now is the time.
jordan holmes
You gotta bring back Larry Nix!
dan friesen
Because this narrative is weak.
He needs to get away from it.
All of this, he needs to do what all of the right-wing media does and be like, Nah.
If things don't look good, hey, what else have we not said about Hillary?
jordan holmes
Yeah, let's pretend that's exactly what Fox News did for Hannity, where they were like...
Oh, it appears that Hannity was mentioned in the Cohen...
What else is going on?
What else is in the news?
How are you guys feeling about it?
Yeah!
dan friesen
But the Hillary jump is what they need to do, and who better than Mr. Blackmailing Congress himself, Larry Nichols.
jordan holmes
How's that going?
Did he win?
unidentified
Boy.
dan friesen
He has not been on since we did that episode.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
Yeah.
I didn't even realize that until the other day.
jordan holmes
That...
That is fantastic.
dan friesen
He has not been on Alex Jones' show, to the best of my knowledge, and I listen every day.
jordan holmes
I'm sure there is a coincidence of some sort.
dan friesen
Right, because he's faking ill.
jordan holmes
I will be goddamned if that isn't hilarious.
dan friesen
It does feel like there might be a connection between that, like, oh, hey, you did commit a felony on air.
And no one's listening.
jordan holmes
I would prefer it.
dan friesen
No one's listening to Dan and Jordan, but they did point it out.
jordan holmes
I would prefer it if it was...
Was it our episode or was it his episode?
dan friesen
What do you mean?
jordan holmes
The last time Larry Nichols was on.
dan friesen
Both.
We put our episode out right after he had blackmailed Congress.
jordan holmes
Did we?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
It was that close?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I thought we took a while.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
I thought it was like a few weeks.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
No, it was like right after.
dan friesen
Because that was a present day thing.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's true.
You're right.
That's fantastic.
Oh, did we torpedo Larry Nichols' Infowars career?
That would go on my resume immediately.
dan friesen
Hey, step to us.
We put Larry Nichols on the bench.
unidentified
Dude, now this is a whole new world for us.
jordan holmes
Let's get the contact info for all of these fucks.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah.
jordan holmes
Oh, let's call Steve Pachena.
dan friesen
Oh, no, I do know what you're saying.
I didn't realize that you were asking.
Episode where we talked to Larry Nichols or the episode that we brought up that he had blackmailed Congress.
Those were about a week apart.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
But yes.
Okay, I apologize.
I did not understand what you mean.
Yeah, we do need to call these fools.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
We could destroy Infowars.
unidentified
Oh, shit.
jordan holmes
It turns out we have more power than we've ever imagined, Dan.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
For sure.
jordan holmes
If we can torpedo a guy like Larry Nichols' career.
I mean, that was ascending!
He was at the height!
dan friesen
Again, not necessarily torpedoing, but we put him on the bench.
Get out of here with your...
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
The moment he comes back on, if we're going to call him the next day, right?
dan friesen
Well, I mean, the next time he's on, it's got to be about how, like, now the caliphate is still being built.
jordan holmes
Yeah, of course.
unidentified
Now, I know it's been a year and a half and nothing has happened.
Now, I know that Linda Bloodworth Thomas is a witch.
jordan holmes
She is a witch.
dan friesen
All right, Larry.
Witch.
unidentified
Witches.
dan friesen
So, in this next clip...
unidentified
Witches.
dan friesen
The, you know, Trump is good.
Globalists are bad.
Assad wants to go to London.
I mean, I think there's a really easy way for this to play out.
Assad could say anything like that.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
He could, uh...
jordan holmes
Um, actually, no, he fucking couldn't, Dan.
There's no way that London...
dan friesen
No, that's a good point.
jordan holmes
There's no way that the UK is letting Assad in.
Just like, oh, your passport is fine?
Stamp, come on in.
No!
dan friesen
No, no, no.
But if this shit is true, there's a way to negotiate all of the stuff that, like...
jordan holmes
Oh, in like a week.
dan friesen
Yeah, all of this would be very easy to work out for him.
jordan holmes
Oh, absolutely.
dan friesen
If he's just like, look...
I've just been fighting these bad guys this whole time.
I don't want to be a dictator.
I'm in a bad situation.
I want to get out of it.
Even if it's not London, he could get asylum in some other country.
He could just flee and just be like, look, this has gotten out of control.
I don't want to be a part of it anymore.
Or he could, I don't know, there's a whole lot of other actions he could take.
And that's the whole thing about this stupid idea of the Russians, Assad, and our military behind our government's back made this deal.
Putin has no reason not to say that happened.
jordan holmes
Yeah, why not?
dan friesen
At this point...
jordan holmes
Fucking throw it out there!
dan friesen
At this point, if he's already saying the United States, they don't follow through with their word and stuff like that, you're already halfway there.
Just come out and validate Alex's argument.
jordan holmes
That'd be fun.
dan friesen
Why not?
I mean, I wouldn't believe him, but if he did...
jordan holmes
That would be hilarious.
If Putin just came out and was like, dude, we negotiated the secret deal behind the government's back with the American military to get rid of Assad, and now they're backing out, that would be the best news day ever.
dan friesen
And if it's true, you know he has evidence.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
He's a KGB officer.
He doesn't enter into a tripartite agreement behind the president of a country's back without some sort of corroborating evidence.
jordan holmes
Oh, there's a recording of everything that Trump has ever said to Putin.
dan friesen
No, no, no, because this isn't Trump.
This is the heroes in our military.
Trump is just following through with it.
jordan holmes
Fine.
There's a recording of everything that Stalin has ever said to anyone.
Except for, of course, the oligarchs with whom he would prefer recordings not exist.
dan friesen
Right.
So in this next clip, we learn about one of the reasons that the globalists are really bad.
alex jones
I know the globalists push depopulation, and I know they're doing all sorts of stuff behind the scenes and testing things on us, trying to find cures for diseases for themselves.
The best way to do that is hit people with stuff that's lethal, and then you find a very small percentage that are resistant.
One quick way to research just one small faction of that or one factor point is immortal cell lines, Lazarus genes, things like that, which are real.
jordan holmes
Are you talking about the stand?
alex jones
The archetypes are zombies, but it's not at that level.
But it is once you can get it to building blocks.
There are cells that are zombies.
jordan holmes
Which ones?
alex jones
They don't need oxygen.
They don't need anything.
You have to kill them with a blowtorch.
jordan holmes
Cells?
alex jones
They discovered them in the 1940s with a black lady.
unidentified
Whoa!
alex jones
They can't kill the cells, they're still alive today.
You put them on fresh flesh, they start replicating.
unidentified
Eh.
Bye.
alex jones
Thank you.
So, the globalists are all obsessed with this while we're watching football and basketball, and I get it.
jordan holmes
Yep, it's that.
dan friesen
Boy, I'll tell you what, that's fun.
They're zombie cells, buddy.
jordan holmes
Is he referencing the one woman's genetic material that was...
dan friesen
Henrietta Lacks.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
She died of cancer on October 4th, 1951.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And she had a very interesting mutation that made her cells immortal.
And by that, it does not mean that there's some sort of immortality that can be granted by them.
When you talk about cellular immortality, what that means is that it will constantly split.
It'll always split more.
As opposed to a lot of cells, they have this thing called senescence, which is a termination point of their splitting.
They'll just keep splitting to a point, and that's when they can no longer go through meiosis.
jordan holmes
I believe it's also an evanescence cover band.
dan friesen
Or mitosis, I believe, because it's not a sexual...
It's not like a sperm or whatever.
So yeah, I mean, Alex is talking about a kind of real thing, but at the same time, he's really stupid about it.
jordan holmes
Explain to me...
unidentified
So they can't be killed.
jordan holmes
Except for with a blowtorch?
dan friesen
Well, that's probably just from The Living Dead.
jordan holmes
I was going to say.
dan friesen
I don't think that's true.
jordan holmes
There's so many other things that replicate a blowtorch.
Why a blowtorch specifically?
dan friesen
Well, I don't know.
I think that's just his fantasy coming through.
The thing is that these cells, because they don't stop dividing, or they can't consistently be divided, they're perfect for...
jordan holmes
Yeah, of course.
dan friesen
And so, hey, spoiler alert, they were why Jonas Salk was able to make the polio vaccine.
Right.
unidentified
You know, there's things like that.
jordan holmes
Now, the fact that they took them and hid them without ever acknowledging that they were taken from her or giving her any kind of recognition for that.
dan friesen
Or her estate or anything like that.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
unidentified
That is a big issue there.
dan friesen
No, it is.
It is.
But also, they do make a decent, I don't know if it's decent.
I don't really understand the rights issues enough.
They took them after she was dead, and it was like discarded tissue.
And so there is an argument that has been made by these researchers, and I believe it's held up in court, that you don't have necessarily possession rights after your death of discarded material.
And it came from a tumor that would have been removed from her.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
That sort of thing.
So it's really murky territory that I don't know how to unpack.
I don't like it, but I also get it.
jordan holmes
All I understand from that is weird.
Weird.
unidentified
All of the elements to that are like, huh.
dan friesen
For Alex's stupid bullshit about like, they just want to create cures for themselves, not for us.
Do you have polio, asshole?
jordan holmes
He actually does.
dan friesen
No, he doesn't.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he does.
dan friesen
You think he does the show and then just immediately runs to an iron lung?
jordan holmes
Oh, absolutely.
He's been in a wheelchair for six years.
People don't know that.
dan friesen
I've seen him stand up.
jordan holmes
Well, people saw FDR stand up too, Dan.
dan friesen
That's a fair point.
That's a fair, fair, fair point.
jordan holmes
Is it a fair point?
unidentified
Nope.
dan friesen
That's why I said it three times.
jordan holmes
Like witches?
Witches.
Witches.
dan friesen
The reality of these, like, immortal cells and the Lazarus cells and stuff like that are really interesting because there are a couple of strains of them that they've been able to find, but they're literally nothing like Alex's.
jordan holmes
Yeah, because the telomeres don't break down or whatever it is along those lines.
dan friesen
It's just another...
Brainless cow tanks.
unidentified
God, I want brainless cow tanks now.
dan friesen
He relies on the fact that his audience is not conversant in science at all and doesn't understand.
jordan holmes
Because they are absolutely not.
dan friesen
No, and to a certain extent, I mean, maybe we're conversant, but not smart about it.
jordan holmes
We are the type of people who are conversant in science insofar as we know just enough to get ourselves to say something stupid.
dan friesen
If you gave me a week, I could explain this fully, but I don't care to.
jordan holmes
We could research it and understand what we were researching to a point, but there would be no reason for us to explain it.
dan friesen
No.
So, on Friday, Alex Jones lost his mind and screamed about ISIS being up Trump's dirty asshole.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Does he address that?
dan friesen
He doesn't.
We covered that, but we failed to cover one thing, I believe.
I don't think we talked about it, that Art Bell passed away.
jordan holmes
Yes, Art Bell did pass away.
dan friesen
The OG from Coast to Coast AM.
Right.
Complete weirdo.
Crazy dude.
But also made one of the most interesting radio shows ever to exist.
I know you don't know much about Coast to Coast AM, but it was a big part of my...
Love of AM talk radio growing up.
Actually, it was on FM in Columbia, but I loved the format of talk radio, and one of the reasons was because of Coast to Coast AM.
jordan holmes
See, I've always been more of a Joe Frank weirdo kind of guy.
dan friesen
What does that mean?
jordan holmes
You don't know who Joe Frank is?
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
He did weirdo monologues.
dan friesen
Nah, I'm not into it.
jordan holmes
He was very fascinated.
dan friesen
Not into it.
jordan holmes
Check out Joe Frank.
You would be shocked by it.
dan friesen
See, what I liked about Coast to Coast AM was it had this brilliant, I don't know if it's brilliant, but it was a great structure wherein Art Bell or George Norrie would talk about something really crazy and stupid.
Often aliens, ghosts, that sort of shit.
Sometimes conspiracy stuff.
And then they'd just take calls.
And the callers would be as crazy, but they'd just be like, yep, you bet.
unidentified
You bet.
dan friesen
You bet.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
That kind of thing.
And it was this great...
jordan holmes
They were Carrie Callahan without the anti-Semitism.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Not overt, anyway.
I'm not sure.
I hate George Norrie's politics, and he's good friends with Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
He's probably an anti-Semite.
dan friesen
But I am sad that he's dead in as much as it's the passing of a radio legend.
Now, granted, when we did that episode about...
That Project Camelot episode about Courtney Brown, the remote viewer.
jordan holmes
Yes!
dan friesen
Art Bell was hosting when he allowed Courtney Brown to come on and precipitate the events that would lead to the Heaven's Gate cult killing themselves.
Not 9-11.
jordan holmes
Oh, not 9-11?
Never mind.
dan friesen
And so, like, he had some fucking problems.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
There are problems, but he was a great broadcaster, and rest in peace.
jordan holmes
Wait a second.
Courtney Brown precipitated the Heaven's Gate?
dan friesen
We did a whole episode about that.
jordan holmes
I know, but I really don't understand that still.
dan friesen
Courtney Brown remote-viewed an object that was trailing the Hale-Bopp comet, and that's where that entire narrative came from.
jordan holmes
That's right.
No, I forgot that that was whenever What's-His-Face's wife died, and then he got all weird about it.
The Heaven's Gate cult.
dan friesen
Marshall Applewhite?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It wasn't his wife.
That was his cult partner.
unidentified
Alright, fine.
dan friesen
But that was...
jordan holmes
Whatever.
His common-law wife.
Anyways, I'm sorry.
I'm trying...
dan friesen
Timing is different.
jordan holmes
I apologize to you for derailing that.
dan friesen
So, Art Bell, rest in peace.
Also, Harry Anderson died today.
We miss him.
Yeah.
Glad we still got Bull.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Wait, is Bull dead?
jordan holmes
I was really sorry that Harry and the Hendersons died, too.
dan friesen
Come on.
jordan holmes
Was that it?
dan friesen
I'm not making a joke here.
I did love Harry Anderson when I was younger.
I loved Night Court.
It was a great show.
jordan holmes
Wait, Harry Anderson died?
dan friesen
Yeah, he died today.
jordan holmes
From Night Court?
dan friesen
Yeah, very sad.
jordan holmes
Really?
unidentified
The judge.
jordan holmes
He wasn't that old, though, right?
dan friesen
60-something.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I don't know.
I didn't look too deeply into it, but the article I read said no foul play was suspected, probably a heart attack or something like that.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
The Night Court reunion on, what was it, 30 Rock or was it News Radio?
alex jones
I don't know.
dan friesen
No, it wasn't on news radio.
jordan holmes
It wasn't on news radio.
It was 30 Rock, right?
dan friesen
Must have been.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So anyway, this has all just been a way of dancing around that Alex Jones brings up Art Bell in this next clip.
alex jones
Art Bell was one of the slickest, best talk show hosts when it came to just really being so focused and so professional.
He was just a real talent, one of the greatest ever.
And I even saw the media try to tie me to him in some way to just get my name in the news and attack him.
I was never on Art Bell's show.
dan friesen
This is not the media.
You know who tweeted about this?
Alex's ex-wife, Kelly.
Kelly tweeted that Alex got his start, or one of his early pushes was from Art Bell.
Alex is literally responding to her tweet by pretending that she's the media.
No one in the media reported that.
I've not seen any articles about that.
I've literally only seen her tweet about that.
unidentified
Huh.
dan friesen
So Alex, whenever he wants to lash out at things that Kelly's saying publicly about him...
jordan holmes
Says it's the media.
dan friesen
He just says it's the media.
Look at the media saying I was on Art Bell.
jordan holmes
Weird.
dan friesen
I believe he actually probably wasn't on Art Bell because the timeline doesn't quite match up.
He was on Coast to Coast all the...
Not all the time, but he was on a bunch with George Norrie.
jordan holmes
Did he call Kelly the media in open court?
dan friesen
No, but he called her the media the other day when he...
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
That's right.
The media's reporting that I was on Sinclair stations.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
And that was just Kelly again.
And, I mean, we see it...
Throughout the rest of this clip.
alex jones
For whatever reason, Art Bell didn't like me.
But you know what?
I like Art Bell.
Art Bell, mysterious narrator of the American nightscape, is dead at 72. And I'll cover the other guy for the next segment, but...
See, if anything's in the news, the mainstream media attaches it like Sinclair is caught doing fake news.
Oh, wow.
Regional News does that.
Jones worked for Sinclair.
unidentified
Didn't.
Ha!
alex jones
Art Bell dies.
Tie me to it.
Make it somehow...
I mean, it's like...
And it's not that it hurts me.
It actually makes the show bigger for us.
dan friesen
Okay.
You're just talking about, like, your feud with your wife.
Or ex-wife.
This makes me very uncomfortable that I know what he's talking about.
I can see through this.
This is not the media.
These are specifically things that she has tweeted, and he's pretending it's the media.
It's very, very fucked up what he's doing on air.
Like, he's too much of a coward to just say, my wife, my ex-wife is saying stuff, and it's not true.
Here's the truth, because it does seem like it is the truth that Art Bell wouldn't have Of course not.
jordan holmes
For whatever reason, every time somebody doesn't like him, he's probably like...
Ah, for whatever reason, they think I'm a piece of shit.
I can't imagine why.
dan friesen
Well, let him have it.
You know, that's my position on that.
In this episode, we've seen Alex have kind of a weird back and forth with Trump.
You know, like, I'm still supporting him.
He's probably corrupted or whatever.
In this next clip, Alex says something that is a little bit...
I mean, it's slightly familiar to us, but at the same time, it's like, if you think he's corrupted, you shouldn't want him to do this.
alex jones
If Trump doesn't move with the military, and I never want this, but we're already under a globalist coup.
If he doesn't move to just remove all those people and have the indictments and have the tribunals, then there's no hope.
Because we are overrun by a foreign globalist power.
I appreciate your call.
And I'm not calling for that at this point.
dan friesen
You sound like you are.
jordan holmes
You sound a lot.
If he doesn't do this...
Well, I mean, we're all going to die.
I'm not calling for him to do this, but if he doesn't, we're all going to die.
I mean, it's just, it's like no big deal if he doesn't, except we're all going to die, so...
dan friesen
That's tough.
jordan holmes
I'm not calling for it.
dan friesen
That's a tough, weird line that he's walking.
jordan holmes
I would never call for it.
dan friesen
That's a very, very tough, weird line.
The other thing...
jordan holmes
Wait, wait, wait.
So Trump orders a military strike, and then...
Alex loses his fucking mind.
And then he's like, well, I mean, obviously if he doesn't agree with what the military wants to do...
unidentified
No, no, no, no, no.
dan friesen
He wants Trump to use the military to take out Obama, Clinton.
Like, he wants him to use them, the military, to take out his perceived enemies.
jordan holmes
So his problem is he's just not...
That's what he's advocating for.
He's just not...
Trump...
Just didn't utilize the military in the correct direction.
dan friesen
He didn't use it for an internal coup and power grab.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Instead, he used it in a way that might piss off my good friends in Russia.
jordan holmes
Ah.
dan friesen
And that's what pisses him off.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Alright.
jordan holmes
That's not good.
Do you know, generally speaking, when an elected leader...
Decides that it's a good idea to use the military to remove his enemies.
Usually.
dan friesen
There's a word for that.
jordan holmes
I am only taking literally every example of this occurring in the entirety of human history as my reference point.
But it doesn't go well for everybody.
dan friesen
I would say that I can think of zero examples of like, hey, everything calmed down.
It's like, oh, that's what we needed.
jordan holmes
Well, Julius Caesar did it and everything worked out fine.
Sure.
Let's see.
dan friesen
Alex has called Trump a modern-day Caesar.
He said he's our Caesar.
jordan holmes
Chavez did it.
Everything worked out fine.
dan friesen
Great.
jordan holmes
Brazilian government did it for a long time.
Everything worked out fine.
dan friesen
Countless African countries.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
No, no, no.
jordan holmes
They worked out great.
dan friesen
Countless times.
I mean, just even all throughout Europe.
jordan holmes
I mean...
Let's just talk about where the word dynasty originated.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Which is when women throw glasses of wine at each other.
dan friesen
The more important thing is all of that is just QAnon shit.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
Yeah.
The idea that Trump is going to have military tribunals, there's sealed indictments on all of these people already.
All this stuff.
I mean, we saw this play out with all those other weirdos on Twitter at the beginning of the Mueller investigation.
We saw all those bogus-ass accounts coming out and saying, like, there is 170 sealed indictments.
It's the same game being played just by the other side.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
The other side ostensibly, but they're not really on anyone's side.
jordan holmes
Yeah, the QAnon people are on the side of chaos.
dan friesen
Or nonsense, even.
It's not even chaos, because it's not.
jordan holmes
It's tricksterism.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's interesting performance art.
jordan holmes
They are on the side of Loki.
dan friesen
It's possibly really interesting performance art, but it's doing a lot of damage.
jordan holmes
Right.
unidentified
It tends to happen from time to time.
dan friesen
So he wants the military to get involved and get some tribunals going, because he's heard people talk about that online, and Jerome Corsi keeps saying that's what's going to happen.
unidentified
Has a tribunal ever been a good thing?
jordan holmes
Have you ever heard of, oh, that tribunal really worked things out for us?
dan friesen
I was thinking of Desmond Tutu, but that was a commission.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
That was a truth and reconciliation commission.
No, I don't know about a tribunal.
jordan holmes
I'm not saying that some sort of larger democratic body is more effective or comes to better outcomes.
dan friesen
You're totally wrong.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
The show Survivor.
jordan holmes
Was there a tribunal?
dan friesen
I thought that's what they called it whenever they go to tribal council.
jordan holmes
I thought a tribunal just meant three.
dan friesen
No, no, no.
That's tripartite negotiations.
jordan holmes
So just tribunal means...
dan friesen
Yeah, a whole tribe.
jordan holmes
Oh!
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Somehow, that is a massive blind spot in my...
dan friesen
Did you think there was going to be a military tribunal with just three people?
jordan holmes
For real?
Massive blind spot in my entire history.
I think I've always just heard the prefix tri and was like, well, I can stop there!
dan friesen
There's a B after it.
unidentified
Yeah, don't like that B. Yeah.
dan friesen
So...
We have one more clip left.
jordan holmes
I prefer triunals.
dan friesen
Alex expresses that Trump is probably still good, but he's been flipped, which doesn't work, just from a logic standpoint.
And then he says stuff that makes me uncomfortable.
alex jones
I'll be honest, I'm mad at the American people, but I know they were born into all the Hollywood stuff.
unidentified
It's really bad stuff's going on over the planet.
alex jones
This country's been so screwed over, and our success that we've got left is so papered.
To see Trump now getting sucked into things that fundamentally he was against, when just a week before Cohen got raided, he was against it, shows me they flipped him.
We'll see if other stuff follows, but I'm really worried because they're not going to even let him limp along.
They want to destroy a nationalist.
They want to send a message.
And there's nationalism and stuff popping up all over the world.
That's the big positive.
They want to send a message.
And I think they're going to try to take the president down.
And just like Hillary and all of them said, once they get him out, they're going to really target everybody.
And there's only so much people can take.
There's only so much people can take.
I mean, I'm not afraid of the globalists.
I'm afraid of my response.
And I'm not saying that to act tough.
But we built Infowars to counter these people.
And let me tell you something.
There's only so much people are going to take.
dan friesen
So, that seems like a...
jordan holmes
So I'm calling for open rebellion.
dan friesen
There's, I mean, it's so close.
jordan holmes
Open rebellion against who?
Also, fucking, at this fucking time, now, now, two years into this fucking bullshit, how can you possibly believe that Trump has any beliefs whatsoever other than Trump is great.
I like Trump.
Trump does not even have thoughts anymore.
It's just, hey, that guy said the same thing that I'm thinking, which is that Trump is great.
I love Trump.
What kind of fucking mental gymnastics does it take to imagine that that fucking guy has a belief system?
Why?
Why would you believe that?
How could you believe that?
The entire history of his life would decry that concept.
dan friesen
Roger is very smooth.
All right?
jordan holmes
He is pretty smooth.
dan friesen
That's what you've got to understand.
jordan holmes
He is pretty smooth.
dan friesen
I'm not going to lie.
Alex really wants his approval.
I mean, think about it.
jordan holmes
Daddy issues.
Daddy issues.
dan friesen
Think about it.
Look at this whole thing.
At the beginning of his presidency, he gets rid of the TPP.
Now, already, he's like, we should probably go back on that.
jordan holmes
Eh, fuck.
dan friesen
So that goes away.
jordan holmes
It makes my rich friends happy, and my rich friends, I want them to think I'm cool.
dan friesen
Alex is like, hey, he's an anti-globalist.
You know, six months ago, he said...
I'm a globalist and a nationalist, but I'm a globalist.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but he was doing it because he's a nationalist globalist.
dan friesen
Alex keeps pretending that he's taking out pedophile networks, but there's no evidence of it, and the stuff that we've gone over in the past is clearly these sort of annual sting operations that happen that have existed for years around the month, the Slavery and Human Trafficking Awareness Month.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, it's opportunistic.
jordan holmes
Which is such a weird...
dan friesen
I think you should focus on that every month.
jordan holmes
I know, right?
Like, why are we...
Hey, it's February, so we're going to solve human trafficking this month and then let it go for the...
It's weird.
It's a weird, weird, weird thing.
dan friesen
Right, but every single one of his arguments is dismantled just by...
Time existing.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And you go on long enough, and Trump himself will invalidate those things.
Of course!
jordan holmes
That's the only thing he believes in.
dan friesen
And now we have this situation where Cohen's lawyer's office has been raided, and Alex even himself is like, fuck, they probably got a lot on him.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
Like, he even is like...
Oh, shit.
jordan holmes
Well, he even said, I mean, yeah, he paid off seven or eight women.
Sure, he's mobbed up.
You can't run casinos without being mobbed up.
Probably done a shit ton of money laundering.
unidentified
Well, no, no, no.
jordan holmes
You're missing the point.
dan friesen
You're missing the point.
So when we did that September, when we started in September of 2015, or August of 2015, we did the investigation, and we found that the beginning of Alex Jones' narrative with Trump, the beginning of his ride with him was...
This guy owns casinos.
He's mobbed up.
He is a frontman for a consortium on the East Coast.
If your name is Genovese, you go to prison.
If it's Trump, you don't.
Those sorts of things.
All of that.
He's never not believed that.
This whole time, he knew that.
He pretended that wasn't true.
Because it went counter to all of his other narratives.
But the entire time, he's known that was true.
And the fact that Cohen got his office raided, and there's obviously proof that's going to come out of a lot of this stuff, and Alex is pissed scared about that.
He knows, like, now I cannot pretend that I didn't know that.
I have to be like, I didn't know that, but who cares?
It's no big deal.
It is a big deal.
It's a very big deal.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, sure, some Republican backer paid $1.6 million to somebody, but who cares?
Who cares?
Sure, $130,000.
Who cares?
That's not even that much money.
Who cares?
dan friesen
There is a moment, I think it was on Sunday's show, where he's like...
Look, they went after Clinton because of these sex-related things, because that was relevant, but not this.
As he's saying the sentence, he can't get it out.
He can't get it out.
He can't explain why this is somehow like, ah, shit.
unidentified
I just don't understand why he didn't take the game.
jordan holmes
Like, he had the opportunity, and not only that, because he clearly knows that some shit is gonna come out, and the writing is on the fucking wall.
dan friesen
Well, here's why.
jordan holmes
Like, imagine Alex coming out...
dan friesen
I can't believe you don't get this already.
jordan holmes
No, I get it, but the point is, like, if he came out now...
Then he's out in front and he gets to claim even more credibility because the Fox News fucks are going to get fucked over.
Like, they've been carrying water so hard for Trump and Hannity is fucking...
Like, they're all going to fucking be...
No, nothing's going to happen.
They're all going to be fine.
Fuck.
This whole system is fucked.
I want to move to the woods!
dan friesen
Well, I always do.
jordan holmes
Who's got a bunker?
dan friesen
Here's what you aren't taking into account.
Whether it's just forgetting about it or negligence or whatever.
Russia's not done with Trump yet.
And whatever situation exists between those entities, I have no fucking idea.
And I think there are a lot of people who are probably making a much bigger deal out of the Russia-Trump connection that may or may not exist.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And we talked about this pre-show, and I think it's really important that we bring this up on the show proper.
We are very convinced, we're very clear that Alex Jones, whether it's because of...
whether it's money, who knows?
It's one of those things.
jordan holmes
Or just fanboyism.
dan friesen
Or he was compromised by flattery, any of those things.
He has some sort of allegiance to Russia that pre...
It's more important to him than other things.
jordan holmes
Yes.
unidentified
And it predates Trump.
dan friesen
Yes, it does, which we clearly discovered on our 2015 stuff, and I'm discovering from even further back.
unidentified
Right.
But what...
dan friesen
The reason that he can waffle in all this is the same reason that Trump can say, I'm not going to enforce these sanctions on Russia.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
That is what's important to Alex.
And whether it's because he is an intellectual purist and he actually believes that they're a nationalist country and that they're the hope of ending globalism or whatever, or if he knows that's bullshit and he knows that he's...
Yeah, I don't know.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
They have to see some sort of writing on the wall.
There's gotta be...
Look, all of the shit that's come out, there's gotta be some sort of awareness that this is going to crash.
Now, I suppose the only thing that I would say, if you're Russia...
And you have this investment going on, regardless of whether or not, and like you said, we talked about this pre-show, regardless of whether or not Trump is aware of any collusion, collusion happened.
dan friesen
But whether it's a propaganda collusion or a collusion collusion is an open question.
jordan holmes
I'm not necessarily saying that they all got into a room together and said, we're going to get Trump elected.
It's more just a...
Perhaps just coinciding interests happening simultaneously.
dan friesen
That's possible.
jordan holmes
But it's like the only result of this is that Trump goes down and the only reason that Russia would still be involved is because they think Trump is going to take America down with him.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
That's the only thing that makes sense to me right now.
dan friesen
And boy, that gamble is looking good.
jordan holmes
It's looking real good.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's a good point.
dan friesen
Anyway, we should go to the woods.
But before we do, check out our website.
jordan holmes
Yeah, go to knowledgefight.com!

This has been tough for me.
It was tough to summon the energy to do this, but I'm glad we did.
jordan holmes
I know, you did great.
dan friesen
I'm glad we made it through.
jordan holmes
You're having some depression issues?
dan friesen
A little bummed out.
jordan holmes
I'll be alright.
I recognize and hope...
dan friesen
It'll be fine.
I just need a good night's sleep.
I'm going to go get a slice of pizza after the show and maybe play a little Zelda and try to get my head right.
jordan holmes
That's a good idea.
All of those things are great ideas.
dan friesen
They are great.
I feel like I've named the last two people or so.
I think it's your turn to...
jordan holmes
Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with the word tribunal.
Go fuck yourself.
dan friesen
That's not fair.
That's petty.
jordan holmes
I'm just mad because somehow that has existed as a blind spot for...
I'm a word guy.
I love words.
I'm a literature major.
unidentified
That's petty.
jordan holmes
And somehow the word tribunal has escaped my knowledge?
That's infuriating to me.
dan friesen
I recognize that...
jordan holmes
I am going to be pissed off for weeks because of this.
dan friesen
I have to honor your wishes, but I do this under protest.
unidentified
All right.
All right.
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
jordan holmes
Hello Alex, I'm a first time caller.
unidentified
I'm a huge fan.
jordan holmes
I love your work.
