Today, Dan tells Jordan all about what happened on back in the past on The Alex Jones Show. This episode may actually cover one of the most important days in Alex's career, one where he stumbled onto a tiny piece of news that he would go on to misrepresent and lie about for the next decade. Also, Alex learns that his singing sounds terrible on air.

| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||
| Hello, Alex. | ||
| I'm a first-time caller. | ||
|

|
I'm a huge fan. | |
| I love your work. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| Hey, everybody. | ||
| Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| We're a couple dudes who like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| Indeed, we are Dan. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dan. | |
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| Dan. | ||
| What up? | ||
| If everything was coming up, Dan. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And just a random stranger came up to you on the street and said, you sir, you look like you have... | ||
| Perhaps the only podcast about one subject that I could imagine. | ||
| No other people could have this podcast. | ||
| How would you describe it to this person to whom you know everything is coming up, Dan? | ||
| I would say, hey, weirdo, I'm having a good day. | ||
| Leave me alone. | ||
| But also, I do a podcast where I know a lot about Alex Jones. | ||
| I don't know anything about Alex Jones. | ||
| And that's our fun. | ||
| Guys, we're having a great time. | ||
| We're going to have a great time today. | ||
| But I want to talk before we get to our show. | ||
| About something that actually is relevant to the show. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So I'm going to let you all in, all you listeners out there. | ||
| I'm going to let you in on some Ahmad Rashad's. | ||
| That's right, some inside stuff. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I've been thinking that bit. | ||
| I prefer some Isaiah Rashad, but okay. | ||
| I've been thinking about that joke all day. | ||
| By the way, I love our relationship because you teased life stories before the show. | ||
| You were like, I can't tell you about this anecdote from my regular life until we're on the show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I love it. | |
| But it's relevant to the show. | ||
| Until today, it was kind of a little bit up in the air how the fuck I was going to get to Austin for our live show in Austin on June 15th at Beerland. | ||
| Nicely done. | ||
| At 9pm, maybe? | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Tickets still available. | ||
| Somewhere around there. | ||
| Because I had an expired ID, and I realized I can't get on a plane with this expired ID. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| So I'd been going back and forth to the Secretary of State's office over and over again, and they keep telling me this isn't good enough. | ||
| Whatever piece of information that I have about myself is not good enough to prove my date of birth, to prove my address. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But please, sir, I baked these pies. | |
| It was such a huge mess, man, because I had to get them my lease. | ||
| And I couldn't get my lease until after my birthday. | ||
| And after my birthday, my ID was then over a year expired, and now I can't use my old ID to prove my birthday anymore. | ||
| So they tell me that I need either my birth certificate or my school transcript in order to get my ID together. | ||
| As everyone knows, those are the only two ways to really identify a person. | ||
| I'm kind of freaking out the last time I went there, and they're like, you need a birth certificate. | ||
| I'm like, how am I supposed to get a birth certificate? | ||
| And she's like, if you calm down, I'll tell you. | ||
| I'm like, all right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| And she's like, excuse me. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| Is your name Dan? | ||
| Please stop crying. | ||
| Please stop crying. | ||
| This is the Secretary of State's officer. | ||
| I wasn't crying, but I was not happy. | ||
| And she was like, calm down. | ||
| All you have to do, go over to the Thompson Center, and they'll give you one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm like, how does that work? | |
| I was born... | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| Am I going to need ID to get this birth certificate? | ||
| I was like, I was born in California. | ||
| And then she was like, oh, you're fucked. | ||
| All right, cool. | ||
| I'm like, do you have a passport? | ||
| I'm like, yeah, it's expired by now. | ||
| I got it 10 years ago. | ||
| It's not right. | ||
| So they were like, all right, maybe school transcript. | ||
| So I was looking through my apartment, top to bottom today. | ||
| Couldn't find my birth certificate. | ||
| But I did find my school transcript. | ||
| And Jordan, I have a little bit of a reveal for you here. | ||
| This is my high school equivalence degree. | ||
| Careful if you flash it to the screen because it does have my social security number on it. | ||
| I would just like to congratulate David A. Friesen for graduating from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education State of Missouri. | ||
| That's my GED. | ||
| I'll flash this up to the camera. | ||
| Congratulations, David. | ||
| It has my brother's name on it, my social security number, and my middle initial. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Perfect. | |
| It's completely fucked. | ||
| I'm like... | ||
| There's no way they're going to accept this. | ||
| With your ID expired, your passport expired, and a transcript that does not have your name on it, you might be off the grid. | ||
| Are you off the grid? | ||
| Do you even have to pay taxes? | ||
| I thought for sure I'm going to go in there, and they're going to be like, nah, this doesn't work. | ||
| So I went in today, this morning, 7.30 in the morning, to get there right when they opened at 8, sweating bullets as I put this transcript down on the table. | ||
| Just like... | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Like, counterfeit $100 bills. | ||
| Like, you got it in the back of your mind, like, they're gonna catch me! | ||
| I'm the guy who has, like, a balloon of cocaine up his asshole going through customs. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| That's how I feel at the Secretary of State's office. | ||
| That's how you feel most of the time, though. | ||
| And I'm like, oh, God, this is a disaster. | ||
| And they accept it, and I got my ID. | ||
| So, we will be in Austin. | ||
| That's my long way of saying that. | ||
| But, in going through... | ||
| That's such a weird... | ||
| It's so weird and stupid that they're like... | ||
| Oh, that's your wrong name? | ||
| Don't worry about it. | ||
| We'll give you an ID. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| We don't trust that you're you because your ID expired four days ago, so that means clearly that you could be anyone. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But a school transcript without your name on it? | ||
| How could we not trust you? | ||
| The most identification. | ||
| So what's fun is that in going through all of my stuff to try and find my birth certificate, I found a couple of cool... | ||
| Remnants from my past that were very sentimental. | ||
| And I want to elevate our friendship and expose myself to the audience a little bit with these. | ||
| I like it when you get real, Dan. | ||
| The first one here is a clipping from a newspaper in Missouri where I'm protesting the Iraq War in 2000, whatever Bush's second inauguration was. | ||
| Nice! | ||
| So 2004, maybe? | ||
| Clipping from the newspaper. | ||
| Were you in this? | ||
| I'm the guy in that picture. | ||
| You're this guy right here? | ||
| Yeah, I'm that guy. | ||
| That's me. | ||
| But you don't have a beard. | ||
| No, I didn't have a beard all the time. | ||
| I can't imagine that. | ||
| Yeah, just most of the time I had a beard. | ||
| What do you mean you didn't have a beard all the time? | ||
| I swear to God, I thought you were a baby with a beard. | ||
| Just 99% of the time I had a beard. | ||
| So that's kind of cool. | ||
| I was like, oh wow, I didn't realize that I was in the paper protesting. | ||
| That makes me feel good. | ||
| Makes me remember my... | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And something that makes me not feel as great is I found this picture from my first apartment, which, for everyone who's listening and not watching this, is... | ||
| I'll show this to you, and then I'll describe what it is. | ||
| There's a picture of me in my first apartment at 18. If you want to flash that to the camera so good people can see this. | ||
| I don't know if I do. | ||
| I'm looking at this and it concerns me. | ||
| This young man needs help. | ||
| Oh, there's no doubt about it. | ||
| So, as that's up on the screen here, I'd like to describe what that is. | ||
| That is me with a beard without a mustache. | ||
| I was actually about to ask you before you said anything. | ||
| Amish beard. | ||
| Did you have a chin strap beard at this time? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, I did. | |
| I did. | ||
| I was living in a shitty basement apartment. | ||
| And if you look at this picture carefully, what you'll see is a refrigerator that the only thing in it is two dogs. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That malt liquor. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| And on the fridge, if you look very carefully, you will see a picture of myself passed out on a lawn on the fridge. | ||
| The only thing that's on the fridge is me passed out on a lawn. | ||
| The only thing that's in the fridge is malt liquor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| All right. | ||
| All right, Dan. | ||
| Life is good. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| That was me at 18. Oh, boy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Good times. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| So anyway. | ||
| That poor man. | ||
| That poor David there. | ||
| So that's a little fun. | ||
| Oh, that was actually before I got my GED. | ||
| This was in that no man's land where it didn't look like I was going to get my equivalents. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Woo, times were bad. | ||
| Anyway, the novelty beverage today, two-hearted ale from Bell's to the chatroom, and now let's get down to business. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| First things first, I'd like to give a shout-out and a thank you to some of our new donors. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| Did somebody finally do the drop? | ||
| I think someone requested that I talk about my past a little bit, and that's why I did that. | ||
| That's not true at all. | ||
| But I'd like to give a shout-out to a new policy wonk, someone who's joined up with the team. | ||
| Thank you so much, Tim. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much, Tim, for joining up with the crowd. | ||
| You're not going to do your bit? | ||
| I ran out of the bit. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I haven't done the bit the last few times, and you're just now noticing. | ||
| I haven't noticed. | ||
| Frankly, it wasn't worth it. | ||
| I've been too self-conscious about the idea that I keep saying I'm going to make this new drop, and I haven't. | ||
| That's what I was... | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Today, I have got it. | ||
| You got it! | ||
| I have created the new drop for our new level of donor. | ||
| Our new level of supporter. | ||
| There is, of course, policy wonk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| There is foreign policy wonk. | ||
| There's globalist. | ||
| There's Technocrat, which was the top. | ||
| Couldn't get any higher than that. | ||
| Now there is a new level. | ||
| We have three people who are at that level currently. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| That I've been waiting to give shouts out to. | ||
| Elevate to. | ||
| And I have told, I have said one of them before already, and that is Keegan. | ||
| Our listener Keegan, who so kindly got us all these back issues of InfoWars magazine that I've been reading that's crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Keegan, there is also a little part of me that's like, you're enabling Dan's worst behavior. | ||
| Yeah, a little bit. | ||
| But he got the honor of naming the Nonc Memorial Library of Bullshit and Lies. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And also, I would like to congratulate him on being the first Raptor Princess. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Four stars. | |
| Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant. | ||
| Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop. | ||
| Daddy Shark. | ||
| Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's a loser little titty baby. | |
| I don't want to hate black people. | ||
| I renounce Jesus Christ. | ||
| I know how to read. | ||
| I am out of control. | ||
| I've never really seen a lot of white racism in my life. | ||
| I really haven't. | ||
| I bet you money there are few living black people. | ||
| That have been abused by white people as much as I have been abused by black people. | ||
| Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, both those guys were complete badasses. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Complete studs. | |
| Welcome to McDonald's. | ||
| May I help you? | ||
| I'm Eddie Sanders. | ||
| Thank you so much, Keegan. | ||
| Good times. | ||
| So wait, there are two more? | ||
| What? | ||
| There are two more? | ||
| Well, we're not doing them all today. | ||
| We're going to spread that out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| I was going to say, we're going to be here a long time. | ||
| That goddamn drop is 45 seconds long. | ||
| We're going to be here a long time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, thank you so much. | ||
| We got a couple more folks coming along. | ||
| I knew, like, on our last episode, I think I remembered and said that he had praised Hitler in the past. | ||
| But, God, I forgot that he had called him and Stalin total badasses. | ||
| Complete studs. | ||
| Complete studs. | ||
| What a weird thing to say. | ||
| Very strange. | ||
| He also says a bunch of strange things on today's show. | ||
| Nice transition. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| We're going to be going over January 27th through 29th, 2009. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alright. | |
| And there's a reason for it. | ||
| I was going to do a Project Camelot show today, but man, it was tough. | ||
| So, my original plan... | ||
| That's a great explanation. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| One of the reasons that my day was so hectic was I was trying to prepare a Project Camelot episode. | ||
| And in doing so, I hit a lot of roadblocks. | ||
| Because what I intended to cover was Courtney Brown, the remote viewer who inadvertently, you know... | ||
| Basically led to the Heaven's Gate. | ||
| Oh, no, it's the different one. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, now that one. | ||
| The guy who said that he remote-viewed an object, a UFO behind Hale-Bopp comet, and led to people's deaths. | ||
| He was on Project Camelot again, and he remote-viewed Moses and the Ten Commandments. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I was like... | ||
| Which one was his favorite? | ||
| I didn't watch it, because it was so boring. | ||
| Oh, no! | ||
| Well, I got through like 25 minutes, half an hour, and like, none of this is entertaining. | ||
| It's just a really annoying dude. | ||
| So I started looking through more of his shit, and I found that he is doing, right now, an investigation using remote viewing to talk about the future of Bitcoin. | ||
| But, because that qualifies kind of as financial advice... | ||
| He has to give a disclaimer that is like, this is for entertainment purposes only, because he doesn't want to get fucking sued, which really undercuts his own belief in his remote viewing capabilities. | ||
| So I was watching that, and I'm like, this is a disaster. | ||
| This sucks so much. | ||
| Oh, and he still went through with it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think it would be hilarious if he did a remote viewing into Alex Jones in 2015. | ||
| That would be amazing. | ||
| He just plagiarizes our episodes entirely? | ||
| That'd be fantastic. | ||
| So then I was like, alright. | ||
| Courtney Brown, this new episode sucks. | ||
| Let's go back to Mark Richards. | ||
| So I went and watched the first episode. | ||
| The very first? | ||
| Just the time that Carrie Cassidy and Mark Richards met. | ||
| And I realized he's been lying to her the exact same way the entire time. | ||
| It's all the same shit. | ||
| How many years ago was it? | ||
| This was like four years ago. | ||
| This was 2014, I believe. | ||
| Jesus. | ||
| So she's in her car after she got out of Vacaville Prison and she's just like... | ||
| He's friends with the raptors. | ||
| I'm like, alright, are we going to do this again? | ||
| I love Mark Richards, but it's the same thing. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So then I was like, alright. | ||
| You were hoping for the story to have evolved over time instead of almost being pretty much the same thing. | ||
| And so I was like, alright, you know what the fun of Project Camelot is? | ||
| It's us finding new crazies. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so I found this other guy, Matthew... | ||
| Boy, I don't even remember his fucking name because he was so terrible. | ||
| But he was on talking about how Mormonism was created by aliens. | ||
| That sounds right. | ||
| I'm like, this could be juicy. | ||
| That... | ||
| Why are you talking about new crazies? | ||
| This is the first reasonable person that's ever been on Project Camelot. | ||
| So I watched about an hour of it, and it's bizarre. | ||
| Oh, it's Matthew Hines, H-E-I-N-E-S. | ||
| He wrote a book. | ||
| He wrote a book called Deception of the Ages, Mormons, Freemasons, and Extraterrestrials. | ||
| And so I was watching it, and I got to about it. | ||
| That is a great book. | ||
| Great book title. | ||
| So I got to about an hour into it, and it's kind of... | ||
| Carrie is arguing with him. | ||
| What? | ||
| She's like, that doesn't make sense. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah, because he's saying that, like, Battlestar Galactica was based on Mormon beliefs or something like the Ten Tribes of Israel or out in space, the Lost Tribe. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But Carrie was like, that doesn't make sense. | ||
| And it was just... | ||
| It wasn't good. | ||
| But I did find one thing that was really fun. | ||
| This guy who wrote a book about extraterrestrials and Mormons. | ||
| I found his page on Gig Salad, which, if you are not a stand-up comedian, you don't know, that is a place where really shitty comics go to try and get corporate. | ||
| What? | ||
| Oh, no! | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| Normally, I do stand-up comedy, but until next December, when I win the race for U.S. Senate in District 1, I will be campaigning. | ||
| If you'd like me to speak at your event about politics or tell jokes or both, that is fine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I have fallen in love with a man. | |
| What is he? | ||
| That is delusion of the grandest order, and I love it. | ||
| He has a what to expect section. | ||
| What to expect? | ||
| A highly professional comedian, author, or emcee that doesn't use foul language or disgusting jokes that will nauseate your clients. | ||
| Not very professional in all of those. | ||
| Sure, some establishments want to draw the kind of crowd that will enjoy that kind of thing, and they will not make much money from such clientele. | ||
| With 20 years of teaching experience around the world at high school, college, and military levels... | ||
| I know how to work a crowd. | ||
| What? | ||
| So then he gets into bullet points about, like, why he's a good comic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
| The first material, I can write jokes for any crowd. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I thought he could only write jokes for the crowd that it doesn't appreciate. | ||
| Clean, clean crowds. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Two, education. | ||
| I hold a master's degree. | ||
| Three, education and a bachelor's in history. | ||
| He holds a master's degree in education. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| Apparently. | ||
| That does not equal... | ||
| But okay. | ||
| So, there's experience, location awareness. | ||
| He says he can write a joke about any part of Washington. | ||
| I mean, I'm just saying that most of the funniest comics that I know probably didn't even graduate high school. | ||
| But get this, number five. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Physical presence. | ||
| That is... | ||
| Absolutely important. | ||
| I lift weights and swim three miles every week and have done so since I completed my enlistment in the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne at the age of 21. I am energetic and I possess lots of stamina. | ||
| Which is great for a stand-up comedian. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Number six, loyalty. | ||
| At this stage of my career, I will remember those businesses that helped me get started. | ||
| I will be at your beck and call and do everything I can to fulfill your requests now until my maker calls me home. | ||
| This is an insane person. | ||
| This is an insane person. | ||
| So I was like, this is the guy who's coming on and talking about Mormonism and aliens? | ||
| This is amazing. | ||
| So I was like, how much does he charge? | ||
| I want to book him. | ||
| And I looked, and they have the booking fees on Geek Salad? | ||
| What, like two grand? | ||
| Free. | ||
| Well, he's got all those book sales money. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So I found that and I'm like, this is great, but is this a whole episode if it's just like nonsense and him being like, well, it actually does make sense. | ||
| And I'm like, okay, I don't care. | ||
| I don't want to do this. | ||
| How is his physical presence with Carrie? | ||
| Not good? | ||
| Not great. | ||
| Where were the three miles that he swam that week? | ||
| Probably somewhere around Washington State. | ||
| He has a great location awareness. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| So, listen. | ||
| Although, at the same time, I gotta tell ya, local jokes means local work, my friend. | ||
| I went down a lot of Project Camelot roads, and they all were dead ends. | ||
| But thankfully, I had some 2009 that I've been looking into. | ||
| And I will say, one of these episodes that we're gonna cover in this January 27th to 29th... | ||
| Is my second favorite episode of Alex Jones I've ever listened to. | ||
| That's huge! | ||
| The first, my number one favorite, of course, is that time that he satirically jumped the shark by suggesting that we kick all Muslims out of the United States while he was kind of making that argument. | ||
| Satire! | ||
| That's my favorite episode. | ||
| Second favorite is going to be the 28th, but we'll get to that here in a minute. | ||
| First, here's an out-of-context drop from Alex Jones. | ||
| You digging me? | ||
| As they say, you dig it? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Cool, daddy-o. | ||
| He's hip, man. | ||
| Don't laugh. | ||
| He's hip. | ||
| You guys still smoking the reefer? | ||
| You guys still the cool guys? | ||
| You want to go shoot some dope? | ||
| You guys like jazz cigarettes? | ||
| So, on the 27th, Alex... | ||
| They're going to take me down to the freak wharf. | ||
| Alex, on the 27th, my man, he is seven days into Obama's presidency. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Giving him a chance. | ||
| Boy! | ||
| Not great. | ||
| Not great. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, he is not having a good time. | ||
| He's not a fan? | ||
| He's not having a good time with this presidency. | ||
| Well, what could Obama have done in that first seven days? | ||
| He's really just moving in at that point. | ||
| He's gun grabbing. | ||
| He's setting up all sorts of negative things. | ||
| He's already doing this. | ||
| Yeah, he's got his gun grabbers. | ||
| He's got his gun grabbers? | ||
| He's got his gun grabbers running around grabbing guns. | ||
| Is that like one of those hand extension things that old people use to pick up? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| It's one of those robotic arms. | ||
| But it's like really long and it only attracts guns. | ||
| To the chat room, we will call Larry Nichols again sometime, but not tonight. | ||
| Too late for the old man. | ||
| But in this first clip, Alex discusses this very, very ironic position that he has on what's going to happen after Obama. | ||
| The Obama administration... | ||
| Is to double the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan to 60,000. | ||
| And when asked in a television interview if the U.S. public should expect more American casualties, Biden said, I hate to say it, but yes, I think there will be an uptick. | ||
| That's a quote. | ||
| Greater U.S. involvement in Afghanistan is a political risk for Obama. | ||
| But he didn't care. | ||
| He's in office now. | ||
| With the danger that mounting American casualties can make the war as unpopular as Iraq. | ||
| But see, the media isn't going to make an issue of it now. | ||
| You see, they're going to not make hay out of it. | ||
| They had to do that with Bush to then give you the next savior. | ||
| Obama, and you wait before they get rid of Obama in 48 years, whatever the elite decides, they will then demonize and destroy him. | ||
| So that you will then see the next guy as the savior. | ||
| It's just basic elementary psychology. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| So now, as we know, in 2016, the person who was destroying Obama in order to create the image of a new savior is Alex Jones. | ||
| The media was not destroying Obama, although there was... | ||
| You know, reasonable reasons to have some harsh criticisms. | ||
| The media was probably a little bit more than fair to Obama on his way out, and in no way made Trump look like the savior. | ||
| That was Alex's sole job. | ||
| Pretty much his entire joie de vivre at that point in time came from doing so. | ||
| So in 2009, we have Alex predicting what the globalists are going to do once Obama is out. | ||
| And then we have, in 2016, Alex doing exactly what he predicted the globalists would do in 2009. | ||
| He's really good at it. | ||
| It's very weird. | ||
| Very weird. | ||
| You learn from your enemies. | ||
| You learn their tactics and you deploy them against them. | ||
| Yeah, it's very strange, bro. | ||
| That's just tactical thinking. | ||
| I do agree. | ||
| You fight fire with fire. | ||
| Anyway, in this next clip, I just have this in just to reestablish that Alex, it's not a flippant statement for him. | ||
| He does believe that Iran's nuclear program was peaceful. | ||
| Uranium for Iran nuke in 2009, a Sky Television headline. | ||
| Very deceptive because it is for peaceful purposes, according to inspectors and others. | ||
| But that headline is, the nuke, they're getting the nukes. | ||
| Iran will have enough enriched uranium to make a single nuclear weapon later this year, the Procedures International Institute for Strategic Studies predicts. | ||
| But the CIA assessment says it'll take seven more years for them to do that. | ||
| The same prestigious groups that told us Iraq had WMDs. | ||
| So, I mean, I don't know how you make it more clear than he's fairly pro-Iran. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| At least... | ||
| As far as this angle goes. | ||
| I mean, I know we already established that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We already talked about it. | |
| It is kind of weird that he's not pro-Iran now, considering Russia is a huge backer of Iran. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| But that makes me... | ||
| That furthers my theory that I don't think he's actually beholden to Russia necessarily or on the hook for them. | ||
| He just jacks off to Putin. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| He's like, I love you, but I don't know if I like your friends. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Your friends are brown. | ||
| I gotcha. | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| All right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well... | |
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| You nailed it. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| Don't shake your finger at me when I'm... | ||
| I'm not shaking my finger at you. | ||
| I'm pointing at you in a sign of... | ||
| You're digging me? | ||
| You nailed it. | ||
| You're digging me? | ||
| I am digging you. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| As the kids say. | ||
| As they do. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| So, in this episode, Alex... | ||
| At their sock hops. | ||
| Oh, God, with their ice cream socials. | ||
| Their shindigs. | ||
| Going out and having phosphates all the time, Dan. | ||
| God damn it. | ||
| It's a deterioration of the family. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Dating. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| So, um... | ||
| Back in my day, my parents chaperoned all of my dates. | ||
| I regret that you were not around for that episode that I did with Marty, where we talked a lot about libertarianism and the Von Mies Institute. | ||
| I listened to it. | ||
| The Mies Institute. | ||
| Well, if you were here, we would have done a lot more. | ||
| Oh, okay, fair. | ||
| We would have screamed a lot more about all the stuff I had researched about how heartless these fuckers are. | ||
| Gotcha. | ||
| At its core, the Austrian school and the Mies Institute version of libertarianism is, like, real harsh. | ||
| Fuck you and your needs. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| Like, the example that we had on that episode that I think is the most telling is they're straight up making an argument for why you don't have an obligation to feed or clothe your child. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Because that would be a negative obligation on yourself as opposed to a positive. | ||
| It's a whole huge mess. | ||
| You can read their articles about it. | ||
| I'm not making any of this up. | ||
| So that's the school of libertarianism that Alex comes from, and a lot of the John Birch Society stuff is in that vein. | ||
| And so, on this episode, here on the 27th of January, Alex is talking about a story where an old man freezes to death in his home. | ||
| And his angle on it does not make sense with his philosophical beliefs. | ||
| That's a shame that they turn people's power off during the winter. | ||
| Speaking of that, I want to play a little clip from this AP piece, which was a fair piece. | ||
| I've got some of the local news pieces that make excuses for the fact that this World War II vet died. | ||
| But this is what's going on in the economic downturn as they turn people's power off when they're living in freezing temperatures. | ||
| And by the way, when they found him, again, he had his stove open. | ||
| He was by the stove, dead, and in front of him, and they've now ruled, the coroner's ruled, that it was hypothermia, with all this money piled up, with change and dollars and everything piled up, to try to go pay the back bill. | ||
| But hey, eugenics has followed its course. | ||
| He froze to death. | ||
| Yeah, that was eugenics followed. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play that clip. | ||
| So, a couple things. | ||
| This guy owed $1,000 to the utility company. | ||
| That's a lot of back bills. | ||
| That's a lot of back bills. | ||
| I'm not saying he deserved to fucking die or anything like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely not. | |
| Far from it. | ||
| I think absolutely you shouldn't turn people's power off in the winter. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But you know how you do that? | ||
| Fucking government regulating businesses. | ||
| Literally the... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Literally the... | |
| Fair enough. | ||
| Libertarianism! | ||
| The only way for Alex's desired outcome to come is against his philosophical positions. | ||
| But because this guy was an old white World War II veteran, he's like, oh, what a damn shame. | ||
| Hey, this is what's happening in this economy. | ||
| That's Obama's fault. | ||
| Or whatever. | ||
| But that's what libertarianism is. | ||
| Libertarianism is entirely, I believe myself to be a god. | ||
| And if everything isn't going right for me, Fuck you. | ||
| Doesn't matter which direction. | ||
| It could be if you're in the lower power. | ||
| I tried to buy this with currency that I wrote on my hand that said all the money. | ||
| And you wouldn't let me? | ||
| That's anti-libertarianism. | ||
| I wanted to get all the heat, but you turned it off because I didn't pay you? | ||
| That's wrong. | ||
| That's morally wrong. | ||
| You, sir. | ||
| Are immoral. | ||
| Businesses should be able to exclude gays or black people if they want to, because the market will take care of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And I will delight in their freedom to segregate their businesses. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| But then, whenever anything goes against me, oh my god, this is a breach of... | ||
| Well, that's against the rules. | ||
| Yeah, that's a breach of the very fabric of American society. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| It's all this horse shit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| But, uh, so I just, I like that because... | ||
| Libertarianism is just a man saying... | ||
| Well, it shouldn't happen to me. | ||
| To whatever. | ||
| But I think that this is a moment where, like, Alex Jones is, like, I think it's a little bit of a tell. | ||
| And I don't want to say it's just because he's an old white World War I veteran, a World War II veteran. | ||
| I use that as, like, a, you know, like, as a little bit of a dig. | ||
| But at the same time, I think that this is a moment where, like, his humanity is weighing out over his... | ||
| Like, uh... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bullshit. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| And I don't mean to say that that makes him good or anything like that, but it should be some indication that I don't think he really believes in his beliefs. | ||
| That's more what I'm saying. | ||
| Nobody does. | ||
| Like, I don't think that these libertarian beliefs that he subscribes to really go much deeper than leave me the fuck alone, I hate gay people, I don't want to be forced to talk to black people, they scare me, Muslims are weird, and I want my guns. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I think that's probably, like... | ||
| The rest of it's kind of scattershot. | ||
| It's not really an ideology. | ||
| Yes, it is. | ||
| It's a bad one. | ||
| It's not really an ideology that falls under the banner of any larger thing other than, like, I want to be quietly racist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Please. | |
| Well, it's kind of... | ||
| I wouldn't have to say the N-word if I never saw any N-words. | ||
| That's that thought process. | ||
| It's early 20th century America is what he masturbates to. | ||
| Be like Ike. | ||
| So, on this episode, we get probably, other than Old Man House Phone, we get one of my favorite callers. | ||
| I miss Old Man House Phone. | ||
| He loved Old Man House Phone. | ||
| I haven't heard him in a while. | ||
| I miss him dearly. | ||
| But he does call in a lot. | ||
| We're gonna get you a show. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| You sound very insightful. | ||
| Do you have a cell phone? | ||
| No. | ||
| I'm a 90-year-old shut-in and my phone is attached to the wall. | ||
| But this collar is incredibly insightful. | ||
| Also, my phone is in the shape of a golfer. | ||
| It's a novelty phone. | ||
| It's a Garfield phone. | ||
| It's a novelty phone. | ||
| So this collar, dude. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He asks a really pointed question, because Alex is still at this point complaining about the Trans-Texas Corridor that never got built. | ||
| Right, the road. | ||
| The road. | ||
| The big road. | ||
| The biggest issue of all time. | ||
| The UN is going to take over the United States through a road. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And they had four districts, suspiciously very similar to the time zones. | ||
| This is all stuff we've gone over in Endgame. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Endgame coverage. | ||
| If you want to learn more about it, go listen to those episodes. | ||
| I'm not going to break it down again. | ||
| But this caller has an amazing question that Alex seems to have not considered very deeply. | ||
| Right now, let's go back to your calls. | ||
| Dave in Florida had another question. | ||
| Go ahead, Dave. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, let's kind of just relate to that before. | |
| With the depopulation agenda... | ||
| Why do you think they would need a NAFTA superhighway if 90% of the people were going to be dead? | ||
| All the surveillance and other things it seems like they're doing really don't seem like they would be necessary with 90% of the people gone. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The issue is, and then I'll intellectually and analytically with common sense, critical thinking go through. | ||
| The main body of your question. | ||
| More preamble. | ||
| More preamble before you get to what you... | ||
| I gotta... | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| I'm gonna... | ||
| First, I gotta talk to you about this one thing. | ||
| But then, after that one thing, I'm gonna analyze. | ||
| I am going to synthesize. | ||
| I am going to buy a synthesizer. | ||
| I am going to dance like Giorgio Moroder. | ||
| And then I will be able to tell you why, commonsensically, you, sir, are... | ||
| Obviously. | ||
| Incontrovertibly wrong, sir! | ||
| I don't want you to say another word. | ||
| Oh, we have to go to break? | ||
| Alright, guys, I'm going to have to say goodbye. | ||
| I'm going to vamp talking about how smart my answer is. | ||
| So his answer, unsurprisingly, is just to ramble about Endgame. | ||
| Yeah, there we go. | ||
| The issue is, and then I'll intellectually and analytically with common sense... | ||
| That's just to show you there's no cuts here. | ||
| ...critical thinking go through the main body of your question. | ||
| But the serious issue here is, do official United Nations biological diversity assessments say that they want an 80% reduction in the world's population? | ||
| They don't. | ||
| Go listen to the endgame stuff. | ||
| We cover this. | ||
| And the answer is yes. | ||
| That's in my film with the date and name and close-ups of the documents. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| These aren't Internet pages or copies of them. | ||
| This is from the UN. | ||
| No, it's Encarta. | ||
| library do all these big universities say that's the number does Ted Turner and Prince Philip and all these world leaders say that 80% number do a lot of the academics and government reports now say 90% reduction yes they're getting more extreme so that is going on | ||
| So he just rambles about how, like, they need to put this road in and... | ||
| Poison the water so they can do a slow kill. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| So you need the road so you can incrementally decrease the population by 90%. | ||
| Yeah, so you can have this super highway that's taken over by the UN and then it takes away American sovereignty, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| So maybe what the globalists are really against is just fucking traffic. | ||
| They need a bigger road and then they need to get rid of people. | ||
| We don't get to use the NAFTA super highway. | ||
| That's just for cargo, I think. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| I don't fucking know. | ||
| The globalists gotta get to use that. | ||
| Why would they need cargo if everybody's dead? | ||
| There's a diamond lane for globalists. | ||
| There's a diamond lane for globalists? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alright. | |
| You have to show your globalist card, and then you get to go through the carpool lane. | ||
| Alright, well that's nice. | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| There should be some perks. | ||
| But I will give Alex credit, and maybe I hear people's criticisms that I'm being too positive about him in 2009, and I think they're missing the fucking point. | ||
| But I will tip my cap that because he vamped for so long about nothing, he did manage to come up with an answer that at least answers the question. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It does so poorly, but at least it's an answer to the question. | ||
| No, that is true. | ||
| He does get to, he's like, The whole time he's talking, he's like, okay. | ||
| It's like you're a comic and you forgot your bit, and you're vamping on stage like, where are you from? | ||
| How long have you guys been married? | ||
| You do a little bit of crowd work while you're trying to figure out, what was my bit? | ||
| Where was I going? | ||
| Yeah, that's what he's doing. | ||
| He goes into autopilot and is like, 80% of the people need to die. | ||
| It's in papers. | ||
| It's in my movie. | ||
| Because he doesn't need to think while he says that shit. | ||
| So this guy... | ||
| Then comes in with an amazing follow-up. | ||
| He has a follow-up question? | ||
| He has a follow-up question that is amazing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, all right. | |
| One other thing. | ||
| I was just wondering what you thought. | ||
| Why do you think that all the Hollywood people that you know and big-time people and wealthy people, rich people, why do you think nobody's ever just given you a million dollars or half a million or just something so you wouldn't have to spend so much time advertising? | ||
| I hear you. | ||
| I appreciate your call. | ||
| That is another really important, complex question. | ||
| But first, let me see the Hollywood. | ||
| Let me write that down before I forget. | ||
| Hollywood, answer that question. | ||
| But I want to go back to your first question, because I said I was going to fully answer that, and what was the point I was going to make? | ||
| Well, A, it's their stated goal, so that's the fact. | ||
| It isn't about whether Alex Jones is right or not. | ||
| That's what they're stating. | ||
| So it's not about me. | ||
| That's what they're saying they're going to do. | ||
| The question is, will they be able to do it? | ||
| Will we let them? | ||
| So how do I answer this question where it is very clear that I keep pretending that millionaires support me and billionaires support me and multi-millionaires and Charlie Sheen gave me his coat and why won't they just give me the money I need to run this operation instead of me having to sell fucking dumbass shit and have this soap guy come do limericks on my show where I look like an asshole and I just look bad. | ||
| Yeah, why wouldn't they do that? | ||
| Alex has to like, ooh boy, how do I answer that question without... | ||
| I'm going to need some time. | ||
| Let me write down Hollywood. | ||
| Let me write that down. | ||
| I want to get back to that. | ||
| I love that he had to write down Hollywood. | ||
| I want to get back to that, but I want to answer your first question that I've already answered. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I want to answer it better. | ||
| Can I get a redo? | ||
| So he mumbles around a bit, and then he finally lands on this as his answer, which is like, all right. | ||
| Hollywood people and prominent people and wealthy people almost get an allergy. | ||
| To people asking him for things or asking for money. | ||
| And now I'm known in Hollywood somewhat as not burning people, as not being grasping, as not being somebody trying to mash them or squeeze them or get something. | ||
| I'm known by a lot of people in music and entertainment as not really trying to get anything out of somebody. | ||
| I got a reputation in Hollywood, baby! | ||
| Frankly, why haven't they given me a million dollars? | ||
| Because it would be gauche. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It would be... | ||
| Now you notice. | ||
| It would be untowards. | ||
| It is simply not... | ||
| Done, sir. | ||
| You noticed that the caller didn't ask, why haven't you asked them for a million dollars? | ||
| It was, why haven't they given you a million dollars? | ||
| Because you would think that that's what they would do if they supported and believed his dumbass bullshit about the globalists. | ||
| If they got all that money to throw around, why aren't they throwing it around at you? | ||
| They believe you, and you are doing the most important work. | ||
| And based on Alex's arguments and the way he presents things... | ||
| They know even more than him that he's right. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Because they're a part of these systems. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And Charlie Sheen's been to satanic, pedophile parties. | ||
| Ah, but that's why they can't donate that money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Because then there's a paper trail. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Then the globalists will know that they're on to them. | ||
| Bitcoin wasn't as big like that. | ||
| Even though, of course, going on Alex Jones' show, the globalists are fine with. | ||
| But if you actually see... | ||
| It's controlled opposition. | ||
| You can't allow him to get too powerful getting all these million-dollar checks from Charlie Sheen and whatnot. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| So that caller gets my knowledge fight stamp of approval for today. | ||
| That caller is the shit. | ||
| And now we'll pivot to a caller who is the exact opposite. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Just a couple days before the election, Halloween, Obama took his daughter out, dressed up as a corpse queen. | ||
| All the major media was reporting that, and that's when I knew we were in for some pure evil with this guy. | ||
| It was Halloween. | ||
| That tracks. | ||
| Tracks. | ||
| All Hallows Eve. | ||
| All Hallows Eve, Dan. | ||
| That is when the spirits and the devils come out to play. | ||
| She is a child on Halloween. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| But he dressed her like a death queen. | ||
| Corpse queen. | ||
| Corpse queen. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Do you mean from a popular movie? | ||
| I think possibly, yes. | ||
| I don't know what movies came out in 2009, but... | ||
| Yeah, I would assume. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Something along those lines. | ||
| Some pop culture bullshit. | ||
| So, that guy can suck it. | ||
| But on this episode, Alex has a visit from Gerald Salenti. | ||
| Our old friend, who's the trends forecaster. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And of course, it's all like everything's going to shit. | ||
| Oh, it's going to go terribly. | ||
| Mostly like a buy gold stuff. | ||
| You're going to need to buy gold. | ||
| Bob Chapman isn't on this episode in 2009, as he has been on every other episode. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So Gerald Salenti is filling the Bob Chapman role, because Bob had something else to do. | ||
| Sure he did. | ||
| He's there, but they don't do... | ||
| He's at the DMV getting a new ID. | ||
| It's such a burdensome process. | ||
| So they don't do the same game as Bob and Ted do, but it's the same point. | ||
| They get to the same point. | ||
| They don't have the same practice two-man con coming out of it. | ||
| They don't have a vaudeville training. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So the other person that he has on on this episode is investigative reporter Wayne Madsen. | ||
| I don't think any of those words are true, including Wayne and Madsen. | ||
| Go fuck yourself. | ||
| You don't remember Wayne Madsen? | ||
| No. | ||
| He's the guy who told the story about the White House chef who got murdered with a... | ||
| It was that guy? | ||
| Oh man, I cannot remember him. | ||
| He is a mess. | ||
| I loved him in with Mark Madsen, I believe. | ||
| One of the reasons you can't remember him is he appeared briefly in our 2015 stuff and doesn't appear anymore because he fucking hates Alex. | ||
| He hates him. | ||
| He thinks that he is a fucking sellout for Israel. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I'm not going to side with him on this, except for the hating Alex part. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Your reasons are wrong, probably. | ||
| But he, at some point, I'm not sure exactly when, we're going to have to figure that out as we go along, but he now is like, he tweets brutal shit about Alex. | ||
| Like, he hates him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
| He's one of the, like, laundry list of dudes who were involved in InfoWars who now are like... | ||
| Fuck this dude. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So, Wayne Madsen comes in. | ||
| In this case, the enemy of my enemy is not my friend. | ||
| No, certainly not. | ||
| However, fuck Alex Jones. | ||
| I'm with you. | ||
| I'll smirk at the enemy of my enemy, but I will not consider them a friend. | ||
| So, Wayne Madsen's on, and he's got some fucking hard-hitting reporting, bro. | ||
| He wants to come in and talk about Rahm Emanuel. | ||
| Good. | ||
| Because he's a Jew. | ||
| No! | ||
| That's not. | ||
| Why? | ||
| That's not why for so many reasons. | ||
| There are so many worse things than just being a Jew. | ||
| They don't make it. | ||
| It's not about that, but it's... | ||
| It's kind of about that. | ||
| The singular focus and how weak this fucking reporting is, it feels like you're pointing a finger for a reason. | ||
| Don't make the subtext text. | ||
| Look how fucking weak this story is that Wayne Madsen brings to the fucking table. | ||
| Would you say it's fair to say that Obama is signaling that he's going with the high-powered globalist arm, the Democratic Party and the neocons? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it seems that way to me. | |
| The honeymoon, you know, they always talk about these honeymoons. | ||
| This honeymoon was over before they checked into the motel room. | ||
| Real quick, I also want to say... | ||
| So it's not really a honeymoon. | ||
| I don't have a clip of this, but Wayne Madsen talks a whole bunch about how, like, I voted for Obama. | ||
| I gave him a chance. | ||
| It's been seven days. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| I don't know if he did or did not support Obama or vote for him, but if he did and he's flipped this quick, wow. | ||
| Hey, I voted for him to bring back hope and change. | ||
| It's been a week. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Clearly he's not doing it. | ||
| Probably called Larry Nichols. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, this was never a honeymoon because Pelosi doesn't like Emmanuel. | ||
| Emmanuel, I don't know if you know about this, but the other day this was reported in the New York Times. | ||
| There was a cabinet meeting, and Emmanuel was sitting there at the cabinet meeting cracking his knuckles. | ||
| And Obama looked to him and said, Rom, I wish you would stop that. | ||
| I find that annoying. | ||
| Emmanuel gets up and cracks his knuckles right in Obama's ear. | ||
| Obama doesn't say anything. | ||
| He should have cleared the cabinet room out and said, look, everybody leave. | ||
| I need to have a discussion with him. | ||
| And right then and there he said, that's disrespectful to the office of the president. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| I haven't heard about this. | ||
| Wayne, Wayne, stay there. | ||
| I mean, Emmanuel's the guy that takes steak knives and goes, die, die, die while he's stabbing things. | ||
| Stay with us. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So. | ||
| The story is that he cracked his knuckles at Obama. | ||
| If true, what a delightfully petty move. | ||
| That is fantastic. | ||
| First of all, who cares? | ||
| Second of all... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I care. | ||
| If this story is true, that is fucking funny as shit. | ||
| Can you imagine the... | ||
| The balls... | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Can you imagine the shitty Twitter sphere? | ||
| Excuse me, President of the United States, you're annoyed by my knuckle cracking? | ||
| Well... | ||
| Right in your ear. | ||
| Well, one of the functions of that is to try and present Obama as weak. | ||
| I think there's a part of it that's the subtext of that a little bit. | ||
| But then the second piece of it, imagine this fucking thing. | ||
| Like, right a week after the 2016 election, the Twitter sphere that is the propaganda against Donald Trump, let's say, the shitty, stupid dickholes, if their propaganda line was, Steve Bannon cracked his knuckles at Trump, What the fuck are you doing? | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| That's your story? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's all we needed. | ||
| That's all we needed. | ||
| Boy, you gotta try harder. | ||
| That's real bad. | ||
| They don't. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, look, if a tan suit is a Fox News story for two days, they do not have to try at all. | ||
| They talk. | ||
| They don't give a shit. | ||
| They'll glom onto anything. | ||
| And if you already hate Obama, you're going to join in. | ||
| They talk about knuckle gate quite a bit on this episode. | ||
| They come back to it a couple times. | ||
| Unacceptable. | ||
| Which is crazy. | ||
| But I think what's even crazier... | ||
| The only thing I will accept... | ||
| Being called Knucklegate is a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, that'd be good. | |
| When he becomes the president, but also has to fight in an underground... | ||
| Oh, shit! | ||
| Yes! | ||
| This would be great. | ||
| What's even greater is that in 2009, Wayne Madsen comes on Alex Jones' show, and he says a bunch of positive things about John Podesta. | ||
| Now, in present day... | ||
| No problems with John Podesta at all. | ||
| Boy, I'll tell you what. | ||
| If Alex had any idea of what he would become, he wouldn't let Wayne Madsen say positive things about John Podesta. | ||
| As now, Alex Jones believes him to be the center of a pedophile network that kills children and scares them in order to get adrenochrome into their blood and drink it. | ||
| Well, he didn't know that. | ||
| He didn't have the WikiLeaks yet. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| Andrew Breitbart... | ||
| Wait, he's not dead yet in 2009, right? | ||
| He dies in 2012. | ||
| Yeah, he does. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| Fuck that guy. | ||
| But anyway, he says some positive things about John Podesta, and then he gets back to Rahm Emanuel. | ||
| Keep your mic down for this, because you need to hear how fucking hard Alex laughs fakely at something about Rahm. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I think you know what it's going to be. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And even John Podesta, who was the head of the transition team, interestingly enough, he was... | |
| Clinton's chief of staff, he had the same job that Emmanuel has under Obama. | ||
| Podesta is nowhere to be found in this administration. | ||
| I know John Podesta, and he has a, you know, his... | ||
| Political ways and his mannerisms are 180 out from this guy Emanuel. | ||
| Emanuel is, you know, just a nasty guy. | ||
| And, you know, Obama talked about bringing change to Washington. | ||
| Well, this guy Emanuel is a former ballet dancer, not to impugn ballet dancers. | ||
| But anyway, this guy is like Karl Rove wearing a tutu. | ||
| Now, that's a good one right there, if it wasn't so horrible and so serious. | ||
| Yeah, the thought is not very good. | ||
| Yeah, there's not a very good visual on that. | ||
| All right, getting back to the serious issues here, though. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What a goddamn fake laugh. | |
| Ha-ha! | ||
| All right, now we've got to get back into some serious issues. | ||
| Is this how humans laugh? | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Is this how joy is expressed? | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| He does even more. | ||
| They come back to the well on the... | ||
| He's a ballet dancer. | ||
| Isn't that queer? | ||
| The right wing is just never going to be funny. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| It's just never going to happen. | ||
| They just don't get it. | ||
| It's because, like, comedy comes from largely surprise and familiarity being blended together. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And they just don't understand. | ||
| No. | ||
| They don't understand how to get that synthesis together. | ||
| I'm not entirely sure why, but... | ||
| He was a ballet dancer. | ||
| Gay. | ||
| Hilarious, right? | ||
| Why isn't everybody laughing? | ||
| No, because he's a ballet dancer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boo! | |
| Get off the stage! | ||
| No, no, no, because a ballet dancer is supposed to be a woman. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boo! | |
| It's supposed to be a woman, but if it's not a woman... | ||
| Where's the juke? | ||
| But everybody wants to have... | ||
| Hiss. | ||
| Boo. | ||
| I'm looking over my clips, and I realize that I labeled some of them accidentally December. | ||
| I don't know what I was doing when I was cutting clips. | ||
| Listening to the Decemberists? | ||
| Anyway, interesting, John Podesta. | ||
| It's been a long December. | ||
| It's appropriate that we start singing a little bit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Because we're going to hear... | ||
| We're going to get some singing? | ||
| I'm in. | ||
| I'll tell you what. | ||
| So, John Podesta is the exact opposite of Rahm Emanuel, and Rahm Emanuel is a nasty piece of work. | ||
| Therefore... | ||
| But he's also a pansy. | ||
| But John Podesta is not. | ||
| So that's the logical conclusion you should take from that. | ||
| And then Alex thinks it's hilarious that this guy... | ||
| So a little bit later in the show, Alex Jones takes some more callers and he gets a call from a guy who sounds black. | ||
| And he says some bad things about Obama. | ||
| And then he's like... | ||
| Because it's the literal end of the show. | ||
| And the end music is starting to play. | ||
| And he's like... | ||
| Hey, look, the music was playing, so call in tomorrow so you can say that again. | ||
| I want to put it in my film. | ||
| Great. | ||
| And so they do that. | ||
| We don't need to listen to all that. | ||
| It's unimportant. | ||
| The only thing that I think is funny is when he calls back in, he's like, yeah, you know, Obama, they need a black person to be president because they're vampires so they can take over and they can get into Africa because there's a black face on it and then they can steal their gold. | ||
| I'm like... | ||
| That's what Bob Chapman did. | ||
| Trax. | ||
| It's like, you already have a friend who stole so much gold from Africa. | ||
| Well, yeah, but they want to do it now. | ||
| It's not important, though, because January 28th. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It will go down in history. | ||
| Your second favorite episode of all time. | ||
| Let's put it at third, just in case I'm forgetting about one that was delightful. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But this is... | ||
| I like the idea that... | ||
| So one of the policy wonks is going to message you later and just be like, your second favorite episode is not that one. | ||
| And you're going to be like, oh yeah, you're right. | ||
| Touche. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| You know me better than I know myself. | ||
| This should give you a sense of why this is one of my favorite episodes. | ||
| This is going to be one of the most important broadcasts I have ever done today. | ||
| It is the 28th day of January 2009. | ||
| I rescheduled a guest last week because I was covering... | ||
| The aftermath of the Obama coordination, Reverend Kevin Annette, who documents that they are still killing Native Americans in Canada. | ||
| So real quick, I just want to talk about this really quick. | ||
| He has an interview with Kevin Annette at the end of the show. | ||
| And I don't want to get into it. | ||
| Because it's really long, and I forgot to pull up all of the specifics, but Kevin Annette is a guy who is a lunatic, and he used to be a minister for the United Church of Canada. | ||
| And got excommunicated by them and they stripped him on their rolls. | ||
| The United Church of Canada can excommunicate people? | ||
| Oh yeah, and they were like, get the fuck out. | ||
| He had a series of posts that he was at, and he kept getting kicked out of them. | ||
| Does he go to purgatory, or is he not allowed to be buried in a United Church of Canada funeral? | ||
| He's a freeman on the land kind of guy, which is very similar to sovereign citizen shit. | ||
| Great. | ||
| He's a monstrous... | ||
| He's a chemtrail guy. | ||
| He's a complete mess. | ||
| But his claim to fame, and the reason that he's on Alex Jones' shows, he's talking about a genocide that's gone on against natives in Canada. | ||
| And it's about, like, school buildings. | ||
| It's kind of complicated to get into, and I don't really want to, except to say that Native American tribes have written him cease and desist letters. | ||
| Like, the people that he's claiming to stand up for have written him and said, please do not use our name. | ||
| You don't speak for us. | ||
| Because they are in... | ||
| Concert with the United Church of Canada, which was the organization that had the school set up where he's claiming that there were, like, genocides being done to people. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| And, uh... | ||
| So he was excommunicated from even talking about First Nations. | ||
| Well, not... | ||
| No, he's excommunicated from the church and then told, keep our name out your mouth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| By the Native people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And he does not do that. | ||
| He keeps trying to use... | ||
| Attachments to Native folks in order to raise money and create things like the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State, which is basically just a blog he has that he acts like they can put out warrants and stuff like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| He is a complete lunatic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| And Alex has him on the show to talk about stuff. | ||
| And it's one of those things that, like, you kind of get a feeling immediately of, like... | ||
| Man, I kind of empathize. | ||
| You know, I bet there was some really bad things done to native people in Canada. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I have to assume there was. | ||
| I don't know a whole lot about Canadian history, but knowing what white people do... | ||
| White people came. | ||
| Yeah, you know, it's... | ||
| Problem solved. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Some horrible shit happened. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So anyway... | ||
| Even in Canada, the white man came, and that means horrible shit comes. | ||
| You get, like, empathic to the argument that he's making until you look more into him, and you're like, oh, this is a fucking con man. | ||
| In which, like, you look into it, and you're like... | ||
| This guy is also part of the white man destroying Native American life. | ||
| Maybe worse. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Maybe worse in some ways. | ||
| Maybe not. | ||
| I doubt it. | ||
| It's hard to say. | ||
| Anyway, I don't give a shit. | ||
| We're going to leave him aside because Alex Jones has said this is going to be the most important broadcast he has ever done. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| He wants you. | ||
| I use an exclamation point in my notes, and I never do that. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| That is tacky. | ||
| I think exclamation points are terrible, but if it's this important... | ||
| This next clip is an audio exclamation point. | ||
| Call your friends and family. | ||
| If they don't have an affiliate in their area, most Americans, 75% plus, have computers and Internet. | ||
| Tell them to tune in right now to Infowars.com on the audio streams or on the local AM or FM. | ||
| Tell people at Red Lights. | ||
| Tell them in stores. | ||
| Go knock on your neighbor's door right now. | ||
| Tell them to tune in to this. | ||
| We need to have the primitive mammalian response to something this serious of mobilization. | ||
| Mobilize. | ||
| Mobilize. | ||
| I'm going to cover this news coming up in 10 minutes. | ||
| There's just no other way. | ||
| There's just no other thing to say at the end of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stop people at red lights screaming their car. | |
| Go knock on your neighbor's door. | ||
| Call everyone you know because this is the shit. | ||
| Bow, bow. | ||
| So do you have any idea what's going on? | ||
| Of course not. | ||
| No? | ||
| What, are they making a sequel to Ferris Bueller's Day Off? | ||
| Sir, that is not... | ||
| Why would you play such incongruous music behind the most important announcement? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is the worst music to play behind that. | |
| That is the Benny Hill theme being played during the towers falling on 9-11. | ||
| Obama's been in office seven days. | ||
| You don't know what the most important news in the world is? | ||
| That Alex requires you to stop people at red lights? | ||
| No, I don't. | ||
| Man, that's a bummer. | ||
| Well, I'm not going to tell you what it is either. | ||
| In T-minus, five minutes, I'm going to launch with our top story. | ||
| And to say it's a news report really does it injustice. | ||
| It's a final piece of a puzzle. | ||
| It's exactly what I said they were doing. | ||
| We are exactly, precisely right about the entire infrastructure of what they're setting up. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| We have been completely dead on from our historical research and the government documents. | ||
| But the fact that they are now announcing it and pushing it exactly 100% as we said they would when they entered the final phase. | ||
| This is it. | ||
| This is it. | ||
| Don't make mistakes. | ||
| This is it. | ||
| Do you understand? | ||
| Is this it? | ||
| And I'm not going to theatrically play air raid sirens in the background, but that frankly is what people should be hearing right now. | ||
| Make no mistake. | ||
| What you're doing is theatrical as fuck. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Don't fucking pretend you're taking a high road here. | ||
| I don't understand what it is he thinks is going on. | ||
| That is not that theatrical. | ||
| But it's so serious, I'm not going to add any theatrics in a pathetic attempt to try to get you to stir towards action. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You just told everybody to tell their fucking neighbors. | |
| Call your friends, call your family, call your neighbors. | ||
| And again. | ||
| Stop your car at the red light. | ||
| Park it. | ||
| Get out. | ||
| Tell people to tune in to the local AM or FM you're listening to. | ||
| Call your neighbors, your friends, your bosses. | ||
| Tell your co-workers this is too important. | ||
| They need to tune in right now on the audio streams at Infowars.com. | ||
| They need to hear this information. | ||
| Because I'm going to calmly go over it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So, he wants you to get in the middle of traffic. | ||
| Block people off and scream, Go to InfoWars! | ||
| In a non-theatrical way. | ||
| It's very non-theatrical. | ||
| In a very non-theatrical. | ||
| He would like you, first off, to write a sternly worded letter. | ||
| To the globalists. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then, whilst in traffic, begin handing it out politely. | ||
| If someone were to say no, you say, Of course not, sir. | ||
| And you continue going on. | ||
| But you leave your car at that red light. | ||
| Can I ask you if you've gleaned any context clues as to what he might be talking about? | ||
| No! | ||
| He hasn't given any context clues! | ||
| He's going to calmly go over it. | ||
| I do know that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Well, I'm still not going to tell you. | ||
| But he is of another story. | ||
| Is it 9-11? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| I've got another report here. | ||
| That is amazing out of Market Watch, the Wall Street Journal. | ||
| Real quick, Market Watch is not the Wall Street Journal. | ||
| I was going to say. | ||
| I was right there. | ||
| They're both owned by the same company, but they're not the same publication. | ||
| See, everything is go date now. | ||
| They're now unveiling it all because they're going with it. | ||
| When they unveiled it. | ||
| What are they going with? | ||
| It's go day. | ||
| This isn't the big story, but it ties in. | ||
| Normally, this would be the big story of the day. | ||
| How realistic is a North American currency? | ||
| Question mark. | ||
| Wall Street Journal. | ||
| Commentary. | ||
| Uniting U.S., Canada, Mexico money could result from crisis. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Now, that's the Wall Street Journal. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| It's market watch. | ||
| And I told you. | ||
| He told you. | ||
| So I looked up that article and I found it. | ||
| And there's some interesting things in this article. | ||
| Thank God for the internet being archived. | ||
| Man, this article doesn't say anything like what he's saying. | ||
| The article is, like, first of all, I got red flags all over Market Watch. | ||
| Because this guy who's writing, it's in the opinion section. | ||
| Was it Kissinger? | ||
| No. | ||
| I just saw that he wrote something in the Atlantic and that's why... | ||
| I didn't recognize this guy's name. | ||
| But he was, like, he starts out with, like, now that we're in the grip of the New World Order, I'm like, nope, red flight, red flight. | ||
| Market Watch published that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But it was, again, in the opinion section. | ||
| It should have been in the letters to the editor section and the very back of Vanity Fair. | ||
| Let me read to you from this article about, is a North American currency realistic? | ||
| No. | ||
| Quote, if this dynamic plays out, and I've got no insight that it will. | ||
| Wait, wait, wait. | ||
| You threw that clause in there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Alright, alright, alright. | ||
| The global balance of powers would fragment into four primary regions. | ||
| North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. | ||
| Time zones. | ||
| I don't know about that as a breakdown either. | ||
| In such a scenario, ramifications would manifest through social unrest and geopolitical conflict. | ||
| This particular path isn't something one would wish for, but the cumulative imbalances that's steadily built in our finance-based economy must be resolved one way or another. | ||
| Therein lies the critical crossroads we together face as our wary world attempts to find its way. | ||
| Scary? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Probable? | ||
| Why? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Probable? | |
| Not so much. | ||
| At least for the time being. | ||
| Possible? | ||
| Certainly. | ||
| Although, I'll again offer that it could take years before the pieces of this prickly puzzle fall into place. | ||
| Have I said anything? | ||
| No. | ||
| Effective money management dictates weighing the entire probability spectrum of potential outcomes and factoring them into our decision-making process. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So this guy literally is saying, is this likely? | ||
| Nah. | ||
| Nah. | ||
| He has written an opinion column. | ||
| That does not express an opinion. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's wishy-washy. | ||
| Does not use information of any kind. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That is all just pure rampant speculation. | ||
| It includes the clause, I have no insight into this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So that's Alex's story that would be the main story. | ||
| Huge disclaimer before this article continues. | ||
| I have no idea what I'm talking about, and I'm making this bullshit up. | ||
| So this is not the main story. | ||
| No. | ||
| On any other day, it would be. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| It is weak enough to be the main story. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| And it's got a good enough headline for Alex to have not read the entire article. | ||
| Is a North American currency possible? | ||
| Shrug. | ||
| Yeah, no one's into it, but I guess. | ||
| Anyway, we still don't know what the story is, the main story. | ||
| But I have called my friends and family. | ||
| But in this next clip, Alex is not one for theatrics, but perhaps does... | ||
| One of the most embarrassingly theatrical things I've ever seen on this fucking show. | ||
| This, like, this is mic down. | ||
| Because this, when I was listening to this episode, like, I blurt laughed. | ||
| Sitting alone in my apartment, I was like, ha ha ha, you asshole! | ||
| You are so stupid! | ||
| This made me laugh harder than maybe anything I've heard on Alex's show in the past. | ||
| You are playing this up. | ||
| This better deliver. | ||
| In the last 15 minutes, I've been begging you and asking you. | ||
| To call your friends, your family, your neighbors. | ||
| We need to have a huge response to this. | ||
| This needs to go ultra, mega viral on the web. | ||
| And what needs to go viral is the proper analysis of what has just occurred. | ||
| Because the establishment is putting it out viral with their spin on it exactly as we said they would put their spin on it. | ||
| We have to counter that so the unsophisticated public has a chance to understand and see how diabolical this is. | ||
| Get everybody's attention. | ||
| We're going to have 20 seconds of silence right now before I go into this unbelievable report because it is the final Peace. | ||
| It's like tumblers on a safe locking in position in the door opening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can already be doing the 20 seconds! | |
| This is absolute confirmation of the entire enemy attack profile. | ||
| Let's go! | ||
| You understand? | ||
| No! | ||
| Let's have a moment of silence for the Republic. | ||
| He only ends up hitting like 13 seconds. | ||
| It's still long. | ||
| Feels real long. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Feels real long. | |
| All right. | ||
| Here it is, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| An article by Paul Joseph Watson at PrisonPlanet.com. | ||
| Last night's top story. | ||
| New legislation authorizes FEMA camps in the United States. | ||
| Now let's stop right there before I get into the article. | ||
| Yeah, I better stop. | ||
| That to me is... | ||
| The biggest news that requires not just a moment of silence, but frankly, by my count, between 14 and 16 moments of silence. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Is an article that was written yesterday. | ||
| By Paul Joseph Watson. | ||
| By Paul Joseph Watson. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gotcha. | |
| Gotcha! | ||
| It needs to go super mega viral. | ||
| Because they already made it viral their way. | ||
| This, dude, like, this clip is a ways into the episode. | ||
| So, like, I'm hearing him tease this bullshit of, like, stop traffic, call your mom. | ||
| Burn it down. | ||
| I know you haven't talked to your mom in years. | ||
| Call her. | ||
| She still needs to know this is the most important thing. | ||
| Everybody gather around a 1970s TV store and stand and stare at the TVs in the window as it plays this show. | ||
| Can you imagine? | ||
| Can you imagine the experience of me listening to all that build-up and like, what the fuck's going on here? | ||
| Oh, what's this? | ||
| What's this? | ||
| But something exciting is going on. | ||
| And then, like, there's these commercial breaks that I still have to listen to. | ||
| He's selling gold-dipped roses. | ||
| He's selling tchotchkes on the show. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| Roses dipped in gold. | ||
| That sounds sexy. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| Also, the memory scam commercials are still going. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can you eat it? | |
| No. | ||
| Absolutely don't eat it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But there's like, it's just so long, and then he comes back on air, and he's like, we have a 20-second moment of silence for the Republic, because the Republic is dead. | ||
| And then that long pause, and when he comes back, he's like, there's a story by Paul Joseph Austin. | ||
| I'm like, you son of a bitch! | ||
| You got me again, Jones! | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's just like, what the fuck, man? | |
| I should have known. | ||
| You should have known. | ||
| You should have known. | ||
| So anyway, Paul Joseph Watson wrote this article, but Alex wasn't saying what this bill is. | ||
| I mean, he won't. | ||
| He won't. | ||
| But it's the death of the Republic. | ||
| He still isn't going to say what it is. | ||
| He even said, we need to reach the dum-dum so they have a chance. | ||
| He doesn't say what the name of the bill is. | ||
| He doesn't talk about any specifics, but he does. | ||
| Man, he... | ||
| This is one of the... | ||
| If this description that Alex is about to give was real, boy, it'd be scary. | ||
| Now, the reason this bill is so key is that it lays out how they're going to sell Americans going into the camps and the infrastructure and architecture. | ||
| It's going to be set up under the NAFTA superhighways, which will be armored grids, how they're going to lock down the cities, everything. | ||
| The clergy response teams. | ||
| Remember three years ago? | ||
| Two different pastors. | ||
| Broke right here on the Genesis Network. | ||
| Secret FEMA documents. | ||
| Not for disclosure. | ||
| 13,000 secretly recruited preachers to give sermons telling their flock to turn in their guns, take forced inoculations, go to camps. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So, he still hasn't said... | ||
| Please refer back to Ezekiel. | ||
| Chapter 11, verse 14. Give up your guns. | ||
| Submit to inoculations. | ||
| Even though those haven't been invented yet, we heard from Daniel. | ||
| Inoculations. | ||
| Daniel saw the future. | ||
| Daniel got that one done. | ||
| Also, you know what? | ||
| Why not? | ||
| There's going to be a road. | ||
| Watch out for it. | ||
| He hasn't said what the bill is yet, so we're not going to talk about it. | ||
| I will say it's really important that he's so goddamn afraid of FEMA camps. | ||
| And, like, he's so... | ||
| Like, I legitimately think... | ||
| I haven't listened to too much after this, but I suspect this might be when his brain broke. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I think we're... | ||
| Like, this episode, I think it's all downhill from here. | ||
| This is the one. | ||
| I think that he... | ||
| This is our crest to begin the decrescendo. | ||
| I think he might believe his bullshit to a certain extent. | ||
| And, like... | ||
| Actually, I don't fully believe that. | ||
| But I think that this is a very useful way for him to descend, in a way. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'll flesh that out in future episodes as we get more information. | ||
| But I do think this is a massive turning point. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Well, there was a 16-moment minute of silence for the Republic. | ||
| But right now, we need to be clear. | ||
| We're looking at this in 2009. | ||
| We talk about what's going on in 2018. | ||
| We have a situation where ICE is separating families and putting children into, like, military warehouses. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That sort of thing. | ||
| Actually, they would prefer to be in FEMA camps. | ||
| At least they would be fucking... | ||
| Any conversation of Alex Jones and his history, like all this peddling fear about white people being put into FEMA camps and they're coming for the patriots. | ||
| White people. | ||
| And stuff like that. | ||
| Put the rest of them in camps. | ||
| If you believe that and you think it's so goddamn inhuman and disgusting and you are defended by what ICE is doing right now. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And what your guy, Trump, is presiding over. | |
| Because that is... | ||
| No, not separating white families. | ||
| We are witnessing... | ||
| Whiteness is rightness, Dan. | ||
| We are witnessing essentially... | ||
| Now, granted, at this point, where we are present day in 2018, we are not witnessing a race camp. | ||
| But we are... | ||
| We're witnessing something that gets close. | ||
| Terrifyingly internment campy. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| And it's something that is so absolutely antithetical to his stated... | ||
| And the fact that he doesn't bring it up ever. | ||
| White. | ||
| The fact that he doesn't bring it up ever is so fucking crazy. | ||
| Not white, people. | ||
| When I listened to this in 2009... | ||
| Not white! | ||
| When I listen to this in present day, this episode from 2009, where he's doing this 20 minutes, 20 seconds of silence for the Republic, I'm like, you fucking dick. | ||
| You son of a bitch. | ||
| So anyway, the clergy response team. | ||
| Have you heard about this? | ||
| No, but I would watch that show. | ||
| So this all goes back to a preacher named Walt Mansfield. | ||
| He's a guy who likes to call himself Pastor Revere. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I heard that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Refuse. | ||
| He's been warning about the imminent NWO takeover since at least 2006. | ||
| It's not that imminent, then. | ||
| I've read a bunch of interviews with him and articles, and all of them link back to an interview and an article about him on Prison Planet from May 24, 2006, written by Paul Joseph Watson. | ||
| Great. | ||
| All of it traces back to Alex Jones. | ||
| Great. | ||
| All of this is based on paranoia about the Bible verse Romans 13, which says that all power on earth has bestowed its power through God. | ||
| So that is, you know, it's along the same veins as the give to Caesar what's Caesar's kind of thing. | ||
| Can we just get, like, some of the reverses? | ||
| Can we get some of the reverses? | ||
| The verses? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Reverses. | |
| Can we get some of the verses, like, removed just for, like... | ||
| We need a new council of Nicaea? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, just a couple. | ||
| Just a couple of verses removed and things change a lot. | ||
| Why is it that a 14-word sentence hinges people's horrific worldviews? | ||
| Well, here's the thing. | ||
| See, anti-government cranks, they have a tough time with that scripture because it does seem like you should submit to the authorities of the world or whatever because they have been bestowed through God. | ||
| So in order to deflect from that scripture, they've created an entire conspiracy around the government using the scripture to enlist pastors to pacify their congregations and get them to accept the New World Order. | ||
| I can find no concrete evidence of this program, though I have searched, and all of the links and documentary evidence in Paul Joseph Watson's article is just unsubstantiated rumors. | ||
| Dan, this has to do with religion. | ||
| Stop searching the internet. | ||
| And start searching within you and your relationship to God. | ||
| I have, and I haven't found anything. | ||
| You will see the truth of this. | ||
| I haven't found anything searching my heart. | ||
| We see through a glass darkly, Dan. | ||
| Everything is completely vague and based on Infowars history. | ||
| Because you're seeing through the darkly! | ||
| It's completely unbelievable. | ||
| Quote, this is a quote from Paul Joseph Watson's article. | ||
| We've received confirmation from other preachers and pastors that this program is a nationwide initiative. | ||
| How many? | ||
| And... | ||
| A literal Soviet model, wherein the churches are being systematically infiltrated by government volunteers and used as conduits for martial law training and conditioning. | ||
| The pastor was told that over 1,300 counties were already on board. | ||
| So that's where Alex gets his 1,300 pastors number that he used in the last one. | ||
| It's through this Pastor Walt Mansfield, a.k.a. | ||
| Pastor Revere. | ||
| Pastors are assigned by county. | ||
| You didn't know that, but it's within the Protestant Reformation. | ||
| Martin Luther himself said, we will assign pastors by county. | ||
| If you gerrymander your county lines, you will not get the pastor that you hoped for. | ||
| It's all horseshit. | ||
| It's all nonsense. | ||
| And I didn't know any of that because I've always just been like... | ||
| Clergy response teams, whatever. | ||
| I love the name clergy response team, though. | ||
| It rolls off my back like water off a duck. | ||
| It sounds like they're about to get into action at any point in time. | ||
| I imagine just a series of just like... | ||
| 40 preachers in a convent or something along those lines, but with, like, the giant fire station doors, like, just sitting out there the way firemen do it at 11 p.m. all smoking cigarettes, and then they get the call, and the clergy all put on their fireproof masks, and they jump into the clergy mobile, and they fucking respond to things as a team, Dan. | ||
| So anyway, Alex still doesn't want to tell you what the fuck this bill is called. | ||
| Calling all patriots. | ||
| Calling all patriots. | ||
| This is not a drill. | ||
| For those that love the republic, the enemy is publicly unveiling their program under infrastructure protection. | ||
| This is the clergy response team's theme song. | ||
| Turn every major city into a checkpoint, face-scanned, troops on the street corner control grid with domestic spies everywhere with millions of Americans being taken to forced labor camps. | ||
| It is in the bill. | ||
| New legislation authorizes FEMA camps in U.S. Still not saying the name of the goddamn bill. | ||
| Not giving anyone any kind of information. | ||
| It's in the bill! | ||
| It's in the bill, but Alex does not want you to find it. | ||
| It's in the bill! | ||
| So, in this next clip, we're going to play a new game on the podcast. | ||
| What's in the bill? | ||
| Name the episode that this clip reminds you of. | ||
| Very, very specific name. | ||
| That's a bad thing to ask me. | ||
| But I think you can actually nail this one. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm having one of those senior moments. | ||
| David, what's the mall off I-35 in North Austin? | ||
| Your wife saw it and told you about it and then I Googled it and sure enough it was there and I went over there and it's a FEMA center now. | ||
| Real quick, that's not the end of the clip. | ||
| So hold your answer. | ||
| I think he's snapping at David Knight. | ||
| I think David Knight's around, but he's not on camera yet. | ||
| That's when David Knight is just around? | ||
| Because you're saying David. | ||
| I don't know who the other David Knight is. | ||
| Yeah, but there's so many other Davids. | ||
| There's so many other Davids. | ||
| I just want to follow people's origin stories. | ||
| Yeah, but David Knight is old enough at this point where he wouldn't just accept Alex Jones. | ||
| David! | ||
| David! | ||
| Are you kidding? | ||
| Bring me... | ||
| Are you kidding? | ||
| Bring me Walter David! | ||
| Are you kidding? | ||
| That guy is a cock! | ||
| That's a fair point. | ||
| Anyway, David Knight's getting snapped at in my headcanon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Well, there's Lakeline. | ||
| There's Martin Creek. | ||
| Highland Mall. | ||
| Highland Mall. | ||
| Highland Mall is now... | ||
| Go over there. | ||
| They're there. | ||
| Call your friends? | ||
| The uniforms come over with guns and say, get out of here. | ||
| I mean, they're there right now. | ||
| And over at the old airport, they've got a hangar with bolts and chains on the floors of the American people. | ||
| And admit it. | ||
| Admit it's for you. | ||
| That's right down the road. | ||
| So, Jordan, I now ask you, what episode of our podcast does that remind you of? | ||
| I'm going to go with... | ||
| It's some number, but it's a number that can be expressed through letters. | ||
| It's one of those... | ||
| They're taking them to the airport, right? | ||
| There's chains, shackles. | ||
| Chains, shackles. | ||
| Space Command is probably involved. | ||
| They're in play. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I'm going to go with Y2K, Dan. | ||
| Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| We are a 70s game show. | ||
| If you were a lady, it would have been a washing machine. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| I swear to God, this would be a way better show if we had those 70s microphones that are eight feet long. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| With the tiny little... | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Give it all day. | ||
| The match game. | ||
| I dream of having enough money to travel around as a headliner with only one of those mics. | ||
| It's the best mic in the business. | ||
| So good. | ||
| Yeah, so Alex is recycling a Y2K narrative in 2009. | ||
| That's real fun. | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| Alex Jones finally in this next clip says the name of the bill. | ||
| And I want to say, this is two hours and ten minutes into the show. | ||
| After you've called your friends and your family, stopped people on the street, listened to Alex discuss, Directions and street names. | ||
| Snap it. | ||
| What are those malls? | ||
| You know, the place off of Martin Luther King Jr. | ||
| Drive? | ||
| Which one is it? | ||
| By the way, we've got to go down to that mall while winter Austin. | ||
| Oh, absolutely. | ||
| That'd be great. | ||
| I'm not scared. | ||
| Anyway, Alex finally says the name of the goddamn fucking bill in this next... | ||
| Boy, that was too much obscenity. | ||
| I apologize. | ||
| Nah, you're fine. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| And this other article here, new legislation authorizes FEMA camps in the United States, H.R. 645. | ||
| So we'll get into that happy stuff for you as well. | ||
| Everything's wonderful here. | ||
| So we finally get the name of the bill. | ||
| House Resolution 600. | ||
| And 45. This is also known as the National Emergency Center's Establishment Act. | ||
| We've already gone over this a hundred times. | ||
| Oh, this is the one we've already done. | ||
| Yeah, we've talked about this a bunch. | ||
| The one he's railed about for years now. | ||
| Yep, and we've read over all of this, and it doesn't say any of the stuff that Alex says it does. | ||
| But what's really fun about it, and this is the thing that I always need to remind people about, in the same way that Alex is like... | ||
| Like, businesses can't be constrained by the government regulations at all. | ||
| Why does this guy have to die in his home because it's cold and he can't pay his bills? | ||
| Like, that sort of disconnect would apply with a situation like this, wherein they're setting up... | ||
| Places where, in terms of a large-scale disaster, people could be housed, people could be taken care of, there could be emergency services available to them. | ||
| He's so mad about the idea of it, but if that disaster happens... | ||
| Right, like a hurricane that was about to hit New Orleans. | ||
| But if that disaster happens and those services aren't available, he would be like, how dare this government not take care of people? | ||
| He plays both sides of this, and it's fucking nonsense. | ||
| And the other thing that's really important to consider is... | ||
| I hate paying taxes, but somebody needs to fix these roads. | ||
| There are a lot of potholes. | ||
| So this episode of Alex Jones' show is January 28, 2009. | ||
| That is a full six days after this bill was introduced, H.R. 645, by Representative Hastings from Florida. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| It died in committee. | ||
| It never got out of committee. | ||
| Because of course it didn't. | ||
| No. | ||
| Of course it didn't. | ||
| Because Pastor Revere got the word out. | ||
| He did, absolutely. | ||
| I think more of the issue is that if you scroll down far enough, you find the amount of money it would cost. | ||
| And that was prohibitive. | ||
| It's like $180 million or some shit. | ||
| That's not that bad. | ||
| No, it's not that bad, but people don't want to prioritize that shit. | ||
| The more I think about the name Pastor Revere, it's not that bad. | ||
| It's not that bad. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| That's like an 80s comic. | ||
| Interesting pivot for you to make. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| It's just... | ||
| It's not about... | ||
| You know, Paul Revere, Pastor Revere, I don't mind it. | ||
| I think it's a solid name. | ||
| He gave a warning. | ||
| Anyway, this is... | ||
| All of this has been a build-up for... | ||
| This is Alex Jones. | ||
| Scratch that. | ||
| Does he ride a horse? | ||
| Name Paul Revere. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Anyway, look. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| Yeah, it's lunacy. | ||
| Because this bill... | ||
| Was suggested. | ||
| Had no support. | ||
| Didn't get out of committee. | ||
| Didn't even get voted on. | ||
| Alex is like, this is the end of the Republic. | ||
| Let's have a 20 second pause. | ||
| Moment of silence. | ||
| It hasn't happened since. | ||
| It's not like it's happened. | ||
| Alex, this is still part of his career. | ||
| To present day. | ||
| He still talks about the Emergency Center's Establishment Act. | ||
| This is a pivotal moment in his career. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This January 28th, 2009. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| This is where he gets one of his big pieces of propaganda. | ||
| This might as well be Waco for him. | ||
| Because he's like, oh, fuck. | ||
| They want to put people in camps? | ||
| I got this. | ||
| Give me the ball, coach. | ||
| I'm going to run. | ||
| I'm going to fucking run like a Forrest Gump. | ||
| Touchdown. | ||
| I'm going to keep running. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| We get... | ||
| Done with Alex's breakdown of this. | ||
| He just says a bunch of, like, really scary stuff about the bill. | ||
| He just tries to make everyone really afraid. | ||
| It's the worst. | ||
| And then he has an interview with a lawyer, because he's still also spinning. | ||
| Like, he's a guy who likes to keep a couple plates spinning. | ||
| He was one of those guys with, like, four or five plates. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Propaganda plates at a time. | ||
| Get them in the air. | ||
| And so he has one, that one from earlier about the lady who spilled her Bloody Mary on the plane. | ||
| Her kid spilled the Bloody Mary and she yelled at her. | ||
| Yeah, I recall. | ||
| So he has a lawyer on to talk about that. | ||
| Great. | ||
| And they talk about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Does this lawyer eventually become his lawyer? | ||
| It's a zero. | ||
| The interview is a zero. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But in the middle of it. | ||
| He's talking to a lawyer. | ||
| In the middle of it, Alex Jones kind of slips up, accidentally says something that I don't think most people would recognize as being super fucked up. | ||
| But sir, was it a privilege to ride a horse down the road? | ||
| I mean, when they brought in cars, you know, they started taxes on trucks, saying they were messing up the roads, made them get licenses, then the people did. | ||
| Well, I have the court rulings, and I'm sure you've seen them, that prior to those rulings in the 20s, it was not a privilege to travel. | ||
| It was not a privilege to travel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-uh. | |
| Does that mean anything to you? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| That's because you have not studied sovereign citizens. | ||
| Jesus. | ||
| Alex Jones is espousing literally a sovereign citizen line. | ||
| Whenever you watch any video of sovereign citizens getting arrested for not having a fucking driver's license while they're driving, they're like, I'm not driving, I'm traveling. | ||
| The Constitution guarantees the right to travel. | ||
| In courts, they've decided that what that means, the interpretation is that you have the right to go between states. | ||
| You have the right to wander about as you see fit. | ||
| The sovereign citizens believe that if you're not carrying cargo, you're not driving. | ||
| You're traveling in an automobile. | ||
| And so therefore, you don't need the government to certify you to be able to. | ||
| I don't need a license. | ||
| I'm traveling. | ||
| So there's all these videos of cops being like, do you know how fast you were driving? | ||
| I was like, I was traveling. | ||
| How fast do you think you're traveling? | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Yeah, it's crazy. | ||
| There's so many of those little, like, uh, guess what? | ||
| We got this loophole. | ||
| You guys don't have any jurisdiction. | ||
| Yeah, gold chalet around the flag. | ||
| There's no higher power in the land than the local sheriff. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Even if the Constitution explicitly said that, everybody's going to be like, eh, but that's dumb. | ||
| The Constitution wasn't written when there were cars. | ||
| And also... | ||
| Go fuck yourself. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it's crazy because Alex likes to pretend that he's a libertarian. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And all that stuff. | ||
| But the more and more we look at it, it does seem like there's more similarities with him and these guys who end up fucking shooting cops a lot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Anyway, in this next clip, also from the... | ||
| We're still on the 28th. | ||
| Alex Jones, he talks about hip-hop a little bit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Great. | |
| And I'm troubled. | ||
| KRS-One? | ||
| I am troubled. | ||
| Now it turns out one of the top guys in Public Enemy came out. | ||
| And I didn't even know this. | ||
| I saw some other videos. | ||
| He's a fan of the show. | ||
| Who do you think that is? | ||
| Is it Terminator X? | ||
| Is it Flavor Flav? | ||
| Is it Chuck D? | ||
| Or is it Professor Graf? | ||
| I could see Flavor Flav doing it. | ||
| Spoiler alert, it's Professor Griff. | ||
| It's Professor Griff. | ||
| It's the guy who said that Jews are to blame for all the problems in the world. | ||
| Then he got kicked out of Public Enemy, and there's like, ha, shit, I'm really sorry about that. | ||
| Also, I still think gays are fucked up. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Well, it was the 90s. | ||
| Not great. | ||
| Not great. | ||
| Nah. | ||
| Not great. | ||
| Nah. | ||
| Fucking shit. | ||
| You don't like to remember that part of Public Enemy's past. | ||
| Anyway, one of the things that's really interesting is that what we're looking at is the differences and the similarities between 2009 and 2018. | ||
| And I found a probably expected similarity between Alex Jones through these nine years of history, and that is kind of still fetishizes violence. | ||
| You ever grown up in life and bullies when you were 13, 14 years old? | ||
| You know, they might be 18 or beating you up. | ||
| And finally, you just learn how to get mad. | ||
| It's always kind of good when somebody starts a fight with you and you're kind of worried about that first punch next to your head and you just... | ||
| I mean, you just fire up. | ||
| Now you're going to get it! | ||
| And then those cowards, the bullies, all of a sudden go, because they can tell it's ass-whooping time. | ||
| Huge can of whoop-ass is about to be open. | ||
| Well, we are going to kick the New World Order's butt. | ||
| Satan, he comes as a man of peace. | ||
| Stop being suckers. | ||
| There is Alex singing along a little bit, but it is just his loving violence. | ||
| The masturbation to the idea of justified violence, I can only think is a precursor to unjustified violence. | ||
| Generally, or really wanting to... | ||
| I want to kill a man, but I know I can't just kill a man. | ||
| So I'm dreaming of the day where a man gives me a reason to kill a man, and it's fine. | ||
| That's what it is. | ||
| And so that's similar. | ||
| Has anybody introduced Alex to Call of Duty? | ||
| Like, maybe he could sublimate his inherent need for murder by just killing Nazis. | ||
| Like, has he considered killing Nazis? | ||
| Well, you're right. | ||
| He would be way on the side of the Nazi zombies in Call of Duty or whatever. | ||
| And also, one of his big things is that the use of video games in professional football... | ||
| Are taking away the warlike tendencies of men in order to make it so they can't fight against the New World Order. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Now, if that is true, could we do that, Alex? | ||
| Could we just do that for you? | ||
| I would love it. | ||
| Because, in this next clip, another similarity. | ||
| He just wants to live in Grand Theft Auto. | ||
| That's what he really wants to do. | ||
| He just wants to walk around LA in God mode and just get five stars and never bother with anyone. | ||
| He wants the plot to be different. | ||
| He wants it to be similar to The Fugitive, but with the game functionality of Grand Theft Auto, probably. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like, I am unjustly being accused of a crime. | ||
| Or more like Death Wish. | ||
| He's going for... | ||
| No, no. | ||
| No, because in Death Wish 3, he makes friends with an old Jew. | ||
| Oh, that's true. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| That would never scratch. | ||
| I've watched Death Wish. | ||
| I've watched all of them. | ||
| I'm so glad I could pull that. | ||
| Death with Three is the best of the Death Wishes. | ||
| I will not stand for anyone arguing otherwise. | ||
| There's never a dearth of enjoyment when it comes to your pop culture trivia knowledge. | ||
| Me and Nikki Gifts, probably in the chat room still, we watched all five movies back-to-back one night. | ||
| That's two. | ||
| They were on, I don't remember what channel it was on, but we had a case of beer and just got fucked up and watched all five Death Wish movies in a row. | ||
| Made a beer amid out of the empty cans. | ||
| It was the best time ever. | ||
| Now, that is our next endgame right there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's time for us to really get into the weeds of the Death Wish franchise. | ||
| I'll do commentary tracks on Death Wish. | ||
| Anyway, we have one more clip from the 28th here. | ||
| And this is, again, another similarity between modern and past Alex Jones. | ||
| And that is, like, sick fucking fantasies that he has. | ||
| And this is disturbing on a whole bunch of levels. | ||
| And one of the levels is, pay attention, there is a girl woman on the phone, a caller, who keeps being like, okay. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| And she seems a little bit scared of the things that are coming out of Alex's mouth. | ||
| And rightfully so. | ||
| See, and so they've got to acclimate the troops and the military. | ||
| All that, well, it's a camp. | ||
| We're here giving them food. | ||
| We had a problem at the camp. | ||
| We had to take the guy that wanted to leave. | ||
| We had to ship him to one of the more secure camps. | ||
| Well, where did Bob go? | ||
| Are you causing a problem under the Patriot Act? | ||
| We have zero tolerance. | ||
| You heard that lawyer, top lawyer last hour, say arguing with any of them is at least 20 years in prison. | ||
| He said that's the sentence. | ||
| 20 years in prison for talking to them. | ||
| All right, you're arguing? | ||
| We're taking your children to this area. | ||
| They're getting shots. | ||
| Sir? | ||
| Sir, America's in trouble. | ||
| We're just trying to do our job. | ||
| This is exactly how it's going to be. | ||
| He calls a disturbance, send him to Camp 7, and then they'll put you on a helicopter, fly you 100 miles, and there it'll be, you son of a bitch, you want to cause problems? | ||
| Come here, Jones! | ||
| Knock your teeth out, you son of a bitch! | ||
| I used to see your website, and I used to come... | ||
| You son of a bitch! | ||
| Yeah, we rule America! | ||
| Hell yeah! | ||
| And that's what it's about, stealing and grabbing and snatching and just doing whatever they want. | ||
| Well, it isn't going to happen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| I'm not going to be in there with those pieces of filth with their dogs and they're torturing people. | ||
| I'm not going to be part of it. | ||
| It isn't happening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| Thank you, Alex. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I almost broke my hand there. | ||
| That's so fucked up. | ||
| That's so fucked up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think I just heard the worst sex I've ever heard. | |
| If Alex was just doing that alone... | ||
| That would be really fucked up. | ||
| But the fact that he had someone else on the line and she was like, I know. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Thanks, Alex. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like, that is so profoundly fucked up. | ||
| That was a date in college where it was going well until like 11 whenever he started doing a lot of coke and you're like, oh shit, I'm not going to get anything out of this from here on out. | ||
| I've got to find a way out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Can I hang up? | ||
| Uh, shit. | ||
| Oh, I know. | ||
| Oh, I'm sorry you broke your hand getting really mad about nothing, about a bill that doesn't even make it out of committee. | ||
| No, but thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you, Alex. | ||
| Thanks for fighting. | ||
| God, it must suck to be that. | ||
| To be Alex? | ||
| To be both of them. | ||
| Yeah, no shit. | ||
| To be both of them. | ||
| Yeah, it's a tragic existence for everybody involved. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So, Jordan. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| We are now on to the 29th of January 2009. | ||
| And I want to say one thing real quick, real clearly, real public. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I have received the criticism from the chat, not the chat room, but the group, the Facebook group that we have. | ||
| You're so sensitive and defensive. | ||
| No, I'm not defensive about it at all, because I actually think it's fairly accurate. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That we indulge a little too much in how much it's fun that Alex sings. | ||
| That is criticism? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you know what we go through? | |
| Why can't we just enjoy a fucking sing-along for now and time again? | ||
| There's an argument to be made that we're dealing with a harsh, awful propagandist and we're being suckered in by this... | ||
| The highway bed. | ||
| Right. | ||
| There is an argument to be made to that. | ||
| And my response to that... | ||
| is on the 29th, Alex Jones sings the entire song. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was a highway man Along the coach roads I did ride Don't let it be said that we didn't fight tyranny. | |
| Don't let it be said that many of us didn't see it coming. | ||
| Didn't do the best job we could to warn our fellow humans. | ||
| I want to be really clear. | ||
| Real quick, we are going to listen to all of this for a very specific reason. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| But also, I want to say this. | ||
| It's the same song. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Over and over again. | ||
| Oh, I know. | ||
| It's not that he keeps singing over other songs, which he does sometimes. | ||
| There was the Eastbound and Down. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That was great. | ||
| There was Silver Stallion. | ||
| Fun. | ||
| But I would say... | ||
| 80% of episodes, it's Highwaymen. | ||
| It's like, he just has to sing along. | ||
| It's like a guy who goes to karaoke every week and does the same song. | ||
| I think it's what's going on. | ||
| You're turning me into liking Sasha Banks' theme song. | ||
| Just the fact that we listen to it so often, eventually you just start getting inured to it. | ||
| Right, it takes on a different context for you. | ||
| And this is Alex who's like, here's how I don't work for three minutes. | ||
| Anyway, back to it. | ||
| The Bastards hung me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But I am still alive. | |
| They will be remembered as tyrants. | ||
| And those of us that fought them as lovers of liberty. | ||
| With a sea I did abide. | ||
| Chris Christopherson! | ||

|
I sailed a scooter around the horn of Mexico. | |
| I went aloft to furrow the mainsail and I'll blow. | ||
| And when the yachts broke off, they said that I got killed. | ||
| But I'm a limit still. | ||
| I was a damn builder. | ||
| Across the river deep and wide. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're stealing water to collide. | |
| A place called Boulder Island. | ||
| What is happening right now? | ||
| What is happening? | ||
| Wait for it. | ||
| What is happening? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait. | |
| Wait. | ||
| Now you just want to sing along to this song! | ||
| I was vamping because I know this is the best part coming up with Alex. | ||
| I love Johnny Cash. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I fly a starship. | |
| I fly a starship. | ||
| Across the universe divine. | ||
| And when I reach the other side, I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can. | ||
| Perhaps I may become a highwayman again. | ||
| Or I may simply be a single drop of rain, but I will remain. | ||
| I will remain. | ||
| And I'll be back again and again and again. | ||
| Good guys will be back again and again to fight evil or progeny. | ||
| Just like our ancestors fought him and evil will be back again and again. | ||
| And it is the eternal contest. | ||
| But evil is eternally playing the part of the loser. | ||
| The pitiful losers. | ||
| Satan is a cosmic con artist, as my grandfather would call him. | ||
| A great loser. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That was three plus minutes of his fucking show that he dedicated... | ||
| The day after, he did a 20-second moment of silence for the death of the Republic. | ||
| What else is there to do at the end of the Republic? | ||
| Just fucking sing your heart out. | ||
| And I promise you, I'm not being petty and being a dick about people saying we play shit like that too much. | ||
| I promise there's a... | ||
| I think you were a little bit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| 30%. | ||
| 70% is a clip I'm going to play later. | ||
| I promise. | ||
| There's a method to my madness. | ||
| There's a reason I play that. | ||
| When he sings it twice? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I was halfway waiting for him to just go to break at the end of that. | ||
| Just be like, alright, we're back from break. | ||
| Alright, we're going to go to break now. | ||
| I will say that I have heard episodes where he does an entire break just doing ads. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| He goes from commercial to commercial just doing commercials. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| I would love it if he did just like that. | ||
| Like just singing. | ||
| Just do three or four tracks. | ||
| Three or four tracks. | ||
| Nobody's asking for a ton from you. | ||
| Or even one, do Stairway to Heaven. | ||
| Oh, fuck yeah. | ||
| That could make it through one of the radio breaks. | ||
| Yeah, and you could do your shit talking over the guitar parts. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That'd be a great way to go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alex, let us book your show. | |
| In my book, I mean script, I guess. | ||
| Nobody would run InfoWars better than we would. | ||
| They just don't know how to be propagandists. | ||
| We would bring in a professional wrestling sensibility on my side and an anger on your side. | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| We would be unstoppable if we only ran InfoWars. | ||
| It's terrible. | ||
| This is why we're not destined for success, Dan. | ||
| We're not utilizing our talents to hit the right people. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It's a problem. | ||
| We're too interested with reasonable, loving, kind people. | ||
| And just goofing on clowns. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Clowning on fools. | ||
| Oh, God, yeah. | ||
| Oh, Reverend Hexar, good call. | ||
| Freebird. | ||
| That's what he should do. | ||
| Oh, well, yeah. | ||
| That's too on the nose. | ||
| Yeah, but that would take him break to break, for sure. | ||
| That would. | ||
| I could see him doing Hotel California. | ||
| In his next clip, Alex realizes that, like... | ||
| How long is Hotel California? | ||
| Pretty long. | ||
| It is still being recorded. | ||
| Shout out to Matt Drafke. | ||
| It's his birthday when we're recording. | ||
| It is his birthday today. | ||
| Happy birthday, Matt Drafke. | ||
| Yeah, I had to let him know. | ||
| I know this is coming out Wednesday, but happy birthday, bro. | ||
| Anyway, in this next clip, Alex realizes he needs backup. | ||
| In the spaceship, I do right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Anyways, what? | ||
| The fight is coming, and he needs backup. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The fight is coming, and he needs some backup. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| So the... | ||
| Anything by Michael McDonald. | ||
| That would be great for Alex's range. | ||
| That would be great for his range, though. | ||
| But he doesn't like Yacht Rock. | ||
| Yeah, but it'd be great for his range. | ||
| He's not playing Steely Game. | ||
| Michael McDonald has a varied career. | ||
| He's not playing Goobies. | ||
| He did a track with Holy Ghost. | ||
| You could fucking pick up on all of it, man. | ||
| I mean, they sampled him for Regulators. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| So, look. | ||
| Alex needs backup. | ||
| And up to this point, in 2009, what we've seen is a very anti-cop mentality on his part. | ||
| Because cops are a representation of the government overreaching its powers. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But on this episode here, on January 29th, 2009, he realizes, I might need to reach out to these cops. | ||
| I might need to get them on my side. | ||
| And I don't think this is successful. | ||
| But I think that people who manipulate him probably heard this sort of rhetoric coming out of him and used it to be like, there are a lot of cops who love you, and maybe twisted him a little bit. | ||
| Because this is gross. | ||
| I'm going to tell you something, police. | ||
| They're going to take your pension funds. | ||
| You're not going to get them. | ||
| The new order's going to rape you, too. | ||
| So remember, 10, 20 years down the road, when you're living in a hell unimaginable... | ||
| If you didn't stand up and help us stop this, we need you. | ||
| We want to be your brothers and sisters. | ||
| We want to love you and honor you. | ||
| We want you to join the light. | ||
| We want you in this one life you've got to do the right thing. | ||
| To stand with the heroes of liberty and freedom, the sons of liberty, the daughters of liberty, the sons and daughters of the republic. | ||
| Don't choose the dark side. | ||
| I know that there is still humanity and goodness in you. | ||
| You know you've been conditioned. | ||
| You know you've been twisted through peer pressure. | ||
| You know you've been lied to. | ||
| And you know we've told you the truth. | ||
| So I ask you now with an open hand, join the republic in its darkest hour. | ||
| Join the people. | ||
| Join God. | ||
| Join creativity and honor and goodness and decency. | ||
| Join truth. | ||
| Join everything that is honorable. | ||
| He does this for another two minutes. | ||
| That's going to be a while. | ||
| This goes on. | ||
| On and on. | ||
| It just goes like, some people love power, and maybe they are not ready to get on board. | ||
| But some of you have good hearts. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| And your good hearts are unlike snakes. | ||
| And sometimes I go out behind my house and I have to kill a snake. | ||
| And that sucks. | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| But snakes want to bite my family. | ||
| This is a tortured metaphor. | ||
| It goes on forever. | ||
| It goes on for fucking ever. | ||
| I wanted to play it all, but I'm like... | ||
| As I was cutting the clips, I'm like, this is a six-minute clip of him rambling, trying to be like, please, cops, cops. | ||
| And as we know, because we live in the present, cops respond to that by saying, nah, how about you come over to our side? | ||
| And Alex was like, I love killing black people too, so yeah, go, I'm on your team, alright. | ||
| I think if we want to really parse, like... | ||
| Things that are happening, we can't not recognize that, like, as this is all happening, the initial Tea Party first salvo has already happened. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And things are moving. | ||
| And so I think within the next couple episodes, this is my big prediction, we're going to see a lot of these narratives that we have seen that surprise us. | ||
| Support for Iran, the net neutrality, the fuck you cops kind of stuff go by the wayside. | ||
| We're going to see it... | ||
| As we get more into white nationalism. | ||
| We're going to see that stuff sort of shift into a much more familiar Alex Jones to us. | ||
| And I think that one of the things that we have to take into consideration, and I think this clip gives us a little bit of a glimpse into, is that, like... | ||
|
unidentified
|
The... | |
| That HR645 is nothing. | ||
| That's nothing. | ||
| It's literally nothing. | ||
| And it has been nothing. | ||
| So the idea that he made a mountain out of that molehill, to me, means either he's just desperate for anything he can latch onto, which is in his character. | ||
| That tracks. | ||
| That's in his character. | ||
| Or he needs a big pivot. | ||
| And he needs an excuse to make a big pivot. | ||
| And I suspect that this is what he uses to launch a big pivot. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I think that we're going to see that HR 645, even as time goes on in the next couple episodes that we do, will be when it's dying in committee. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It will be what he uses in order to change track a little bit from this. | ||
| Support of Palestinians, support of net neutrality, support of Iran into just being straight in line with what you would expect of Tea Party shit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I think. | ||
| I'm not entirely sure, but that's my operating thesis right now. | ||
| I'm ready to be proved wrong. | ||
| I guess it's more of a hypothesis than a thesis. | ||
| It is a hypothesis. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And we'll see. | ||
| I'm ready to be wrong. | ||
| If I am wrong, I'll be thrilled. | ||
| Because that would be even weirder. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, generally speaking, we have always been... | ||
| Like, there are always two tracks that we get confirmed on. | ||
| Like, eventually, if you just say white nationalism, Alex is going to veer towards that. | ||
| If you say guns, Alex is going to veer towards that. | ||
| But everything else... | ||
| That's on, like, the margins. | ||
| We always wind up getting it wrong, and he goes in such a strange, stupid direction that there's no way to predict it. | ||
| I don't think he's as outright white nationalist in 2009. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But if you were to predict what's going to happen in 2009 and 2010, and you said he would get more white nationalist, I would give you one-to-one odds. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| You know? | ||
| But I agree with you 100% in terms of guns. | ||
| With white nationalist stuff, I'm a little bit murkier. | ||
| Just because I have listened to... | ||
| For every hour of this podcast we do, there's like 20 hours of shit I've listened to. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so I get a sense from listening to him that he is a very latent racist. | ||
| Even back then. | ||
| He's not a cool dude in any sense. | ||
| No. | ||
| But he doesn't have the same mentality that he does now, or even in 2015, 2014, some of the episodes that we've listened to in the past. | ||
| There is an abrupt change that happens on some level. | ||
| I don't know what it is. | ||
| I hope it's soon, because that would be much more interesting. | ||
| Then, like, we do three years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| Oh, here it is. | ||
| Oh, hey! | ||
| Whoa! | ||
| White nationalism! | ||
| Hello! | ||
| Accidentally happened sometime in 2011. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Weird. | ||
| So, in this next clip, I know I told you about those old people with their little robotic arms grabbing guns. | ||
| I believe I was the one who brought that up. | ||
| But I piggybacked it. | ||
| All right. | ||
| There's gun grabbers afoot. | ||
| All right, all right, all right. | ||
| Gun grabbers. | ||
| Gun grabbers. | ||
| Left and right, gun grabbers. | ||
| Jordan, I gotta show you this map that I have right here, right? | ||
| Right over here? | ||
| That's your high school, well, that's David's high school transcript. | ||
| Right over here? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| There there be gun grabbers. | ||
| Alright, alright, I see that. | ||
| And hippogriffs. | ||
| Hippogriffs? | ||
| Hippogriffs and gun grabbers. | ||
| What else you got? | ||
| So, anyway, Alex is, he claims that he has tons of bills that are being pushed in order to take people's guns, and this is the coverage that he gives for it, which is soft. | ||
| Where is it? | ||
| This is out of the article on H.R. 2666, which has now been reintroduced as H.R. 45. 2666? | ||
| This is out of the New American. | ||
| You can go to the subsection. | ||
| The bill requires a Blair Holt license involving a detailed application including photo, thumbprint, written test, release of mental health records. | ||
| They make you waive that. | ||
| They're not allowed now to do that, but see, now they're making you bring the private records and put it in there for your entire life. | ||
| Firearms owners would also be required to report all gun transfers, even those to other family members, to the Attorney General's database. | ||
| It would also be illegal for a licensed gun owner to fail to record a gun loss or theft within 72 hours. | ||
| And it goes on and on and on. | ||
| This was introduced by Rahm Emanuel in the last legislative session. | ||
| It's now been reintroduced into the new title, HR 45. This is the absolute end of the Second Amendment, this bill alone, and I've got ten of them here in front of me now. | ||
| He never mentions any of the other nine, but also, we now know this didn't happen. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Also, we know that because of how amendments work, it would be unconstitutional. | ||
| Well, no. | ||
| Almost immediately. | ||
| No, because if it became a bill... | ||
| If it tried to invalidate... | ||
| No, it would have to... | ||
| Go through becoming an amendment. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It would have to go through the elaborate process of undoing an amendment. | ||
| And three-fourths of the state legislatures. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Why do we still have those? | ||
| Alex pretends that, like, hey, if you get us on a technicality with a bill, this amendment's done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like, it's so stupid. | ||
| He has no understanding of civics. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Now, H.R. 45 from 2009. | ||
| I'm going to read to you here from factcheck.org. | ||
| If enacted, it would require a federal license to own any handgun or any semi-automatic firearm that can accept any detachable ammunition features. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, also, real quick. | ||
| Bobby Rush introduced this same legislation on June 2007 as H.R. 2666. | ||
| It wasn't Rahm Emanuel. | ||
| It was Bobby Rush. | ||
| When Congress adjourned last year, the bill died quietly in the House Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security. | ||
| The same subcommittee where H.R. 45 now resides. | ||
| The people who need gun control die loudly, and gun control bills die quietly. | ||
| Right, but I mean, and guess what happened to H.R. 405? | ||
| It died in subcommittee. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| All these things that he fucking screams about and yells about. | ||
| It's just random-ass politicians writing a bill to get some sort of press. | ||
| No, or not even that. | ||
| Or to just make a statement amongst the, like, look at what I'm doing. | ||
| Like, that whole thing. | ||
| Or trying. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, like, I don't know Bobby Rush, I don't know his career, but there's a... | ||
| Decent possibility that he was like, someone's gotta do it. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| And just put the bill out, and if it fails, it fails, but I did what I could. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I don't know if that's what... | ||
| I'm gonna get a... | ||
| When I leave Congress, I'm gonna at least be able to say, I fucking gave it a go. | ||
| Yeah, I tried. | ||
| I put a lot of calls in, I tried to talk to people, and they were fucking dicks because America's garbage. | ||
| Now, like I said, I don't know if that's the case. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| There could be, like you say, jaded, like, let's just do this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Kind of things going on. | ||
| Who fucking knows? | ||
| I know that what Alex is saying is a lie. | ||
| Well, like any number- It's just like any number of congressmen who put in, like, every year, they're like- And now I'm re-upping this bill and throwing this back out there. | ||
| It could just be one of those. | ||
| It happens all the time. | ||
| It wasn't the case with him because that was... | ||
| I don't know if he was in Congress before 2007, so it might have been his first rodeo. | ||
| But yeah, that does happen a lot. | ||
| That happens a bunch. | ||
| And the idea that Alex is presenting this as like, this is a scary thing. | ||
| It's not new. | ||
| He did it two years ago. | ||
| It's the exact same. | ||
| It's the same thing. | ||
| It failed then. | ||
| You know it's going to happen. | ||
| But now there's a black president, so it could happen. | ||
| If he said that, I'd respect it more. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because then at least it's like an explanation for why things are different. | ||
| Because in his worldview, like, A, the globalists controlled Barack Obama and George W. Bush, so he doesn't see a difference between them necessarily. | ||
| Only in terms of the black face being able to steal Africa's gold. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| Jordan, I know I told you earlier that we listened to that entire Highwaymen song for a reason. | ||
| And that reason comes now. | ||
| Not an important point, but the guy's just informing me that the audio that goes out versus my voice is a 200 millisecond delay so that I shouldn't sing along with music. | ||
| Because when I'm hearing it, it's actually delayed. | ||
| It doesn't sound right. | ||
| I never said it sounded right. | ||
| I'm not a singer. | ||
| Big laugh. | ||
| I focus on the pain. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I focus on the pain. | |
| The only thing. | ||
| The only thing. | ||
| But the waist that big, I've been saying way before. | ||
| So, he tries to sing along with the rest of Hurt? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Does he? | |
| He doesn't realize how long 200 milliseconds is, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, not at all. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Because he's waiting like 45 seconds. | ||
| He tries to sing along with it, and he never hits the right mark at all. | ||
| But it just goes on and on, and then at the end he's like, we should all be heard. | ||
| Oh, great. | ||
| Great. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Alex, you know that was a Nine Inch Nails song first, right? | ||
| I mean, maybe he knows. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Don't get me wrong. | ||
| Johnny Cash's cover? | ||
| Spectacular. | ||
| Really emotional. | ||
| Coming from Johnny Cash late in his career like he was, intense. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| It's an intense song. | ||
| That is the definitive version of the song. | ||
| I don't think that Reznor's version is better than Johnny Cash's. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| This is the first time we've ever agreed on music, I think. | ||
| But that happens sometimes. | ||
| Sometimes covers are much more resonant than the original version. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Like all along the watchtower. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| That's one of the classic examples of it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| There's plenty of... | ||
| Or Bruce Springsteen. | ||
| The acoustic Nirvana cover of the Me Puppets. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yeah, that one was a big deal. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| So the rest of the episode, we have three more clips. | ||
| And the rest of them are, like, what I would describe as, like, flickers of Alex Jones' salesmanship from the present starting to manifest in the past. | ||
| And it's really interesting because it's... | ||
| Alex likes to sell survival seeds, seed vaults, and what have you. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I think this, what we're seeing, is a survival seed. | ||
| He's a big fan of perennials. | ||
| This is a seed. | ||
| Because they come up every year without you having to... | ||
| Listen to this fucking clip and tell me that this is not a seed of what will grow into the plant of Infowars sales in the late 2010s. | ||
| Nice metaphor. | ||
| The letter E, foodsdirect.com, efoodsdirect.com. | ||
| He's just gotten out of, like, a... | ||
| The letter E. E-Foods Direct. | ||
| E-Foods.com. | ||
| That's his sponsor. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But, like, he's gotten out of, like, a two-minute bit about how great they are. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Just like, hey, get their three-day survival pack. | ||

| I mean, people are insane if they don't get guns, gold, silver, seeds, a piece of rural property to run to. | ||
| And then you just hope the cops don't come to gun confiscate. | ||
| I mean, it's going to break down into this. | ||
| They're going to give us no quarter. | ||
| They are phony warriors. | ||
| They want to feed on the public. | ||
| They've been trained to hate us, and they've been brainwashed to follow any order they're given to taser children. | ||
| And I'm not saying all the police, but the commanders, I mean, they're confiscating guns. | ||
| Blagojevich ordered the National Guard to confiscate guns all over Illinois. | ||
| Blagojevich. | ||
| They have a speech about it. | ||
| It happened in New Orleans. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Blagojevich. | |
| They're giving us no quarter, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| They follow orders. | ||
| They've been asking Marines and Army for decades would they fire on Americans. | ||
| All those that said yes got promoted. | ||
| Those that said no, 70 plus percent got sent overseas. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And got a special vaccine injection. | ||
| Sounds right. | ||

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! | |
| What the fuck was that? | ||
| What the fuck was that? | ||
| All right, all right. | ||
| Yes, of course they are telling us that they're not going to give us any quarter. | ||
| If you are willing to fire on Americans, you get a promotion. | ||
| If you're not, you're going overseas. | ||
| They're putting you on the front to die because you're not willing to fire on Americans. | ||
| Now, by the way, 800-409? | ||
| Wow. | ||
| That's spectacular. | ||
| There is no need to bookend that rant with another plug for your sponsor unless you're doing it in order to make people scared. | ||
| And be like, let's get to the sponsor. | ||
| That mentality is starting to... | ||
| I haven't... | ||
| This is a month into what I've been listening to in 2009. | ||
| We're at January 29th. | ||
| I've listened to a full month of it. | ||
| And I've not really seen that mentality. | ||
| And I'm not saying it didn't exist before. | ||
| He may only employ it on special occasions back in 2009 or something like that. | ||
| That's entirely possible. | ||
| But it's fucked up to see it because it's clumsy back then. | ||
| That's clumsy. | ||
| You know what's interesting to me? | ||
| He's much better now. | ||
| Has anybody ever considered calling their bluff? | ||
| On what? | ||
| On the gun thing. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| Has anybody ever considered not giving them quarter? | ||
| I think we should not give them quarter. | ||
| I think they have actually been telling us this whole time that the only way for us to get rid of guns is to call their bluff on this dumb bullshit and just do what they say, and then they'll find out that they're all giant pussies. | ||
| Well, I think, I don't know. | ||
| So, in this next clip, Alex does what he does best. | ||
| Gold has now been up above $900 for the last three days. | ||
| It's gone up, what, $5 today. | ||
| It was $810 an ounce two weeks ago. | ||
| Ted Anderson is about to run out of gold at the 830 level. | ||
| He bought gold at 830. | ||
| He can pass on those savings to you. | ||
| He's run out of most of his silver. | ||
| Everybody else, I mean, literally 90-something percent of the gold shops and even big dealers are out. | ||
| Or they're huge premiums. | ||
| Not with Ted Anderson. | ||
| Literally, Alex is saying that Ted is selling gold for what he bought it for. | ||
| And I'm like, that's not a business. | ||
| I don't know where the margin is there. | ||
| If you're just selling it for what you bought it for, and you're telling people like, oh, it's amazing, it's worth much more now, but I can sell it to you for this because I bought it for that, you don't make anything. | ||
| It's a promotional cost. | ||
| You bring out the promotion. | ||
| It's a buy one, get one deal. | ||
| Look, I will give you one of these gold for $830, whatever that is. | ||
| One of these Dutch sovereigns. | ||
| You get it for 830, but then the next time, oh man, you're going to have to get it for 8... | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| What is the price? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| For good? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Was it a bad price? | ||
| But also, it doesn't fucking matter because I've researched enough of their customer reviews to know that all of the prices that they cite have... | ||
| Huge markups on them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| Huge convenience fees. | ||
| Well, it's about convenience. | ||
| You couldn't buy it yourself. | ||
| They're a middleman. | ||
| So, Jordan, we've had a lot of fun here. | ||
| We've heard Alex Jones sing along with the entire Highway Met song. | ||
| We've heard him being told, stop singing, there's a delay. | ||
| Stop singing, there's a delay. | ||
| We've heard him freak out an entire show about a bill that didn't make it past committee. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a bill that died in committee. | |
| This, to me, is one of the funniest things. | ||
| He's screaming about the New World Order. | ||
| But watch this fucking pivot. | ||
| This pivot. | ||
| It's not like our normal ad pivots where it's like, hey, everything's fucking stupid. | ||
| Briefly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's not like that. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| But boy, is it the proto version of it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Listen to this shit. | ||
| The end, the total end, not incremental, the total end by high treason. | ||
| Tim, we've only got a minute and a half left. | ||
| Give them today's gold offer. | ||
| Well, I'm still offering the stuff from 830. | ||
| I've got that around still. | ||
| The Franks, I have a 214. | ||
| The British Sovereigns are a 263. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'll give you an idea, right? | |
| That gives you whiplash. | ||
| It's high treason! | ||
| We've got a minute left. | ||
| Give them the gold sales. | ||
| What the fuck? | ||
| What's your deal? | ||
| This is the total end! | ||
| What is the gold? | ||
| And I like that... | ||
| Ted, we got a hard break! | ||
| We got a hard break! | ||
| I like that Ted catches it and is like, we gotta run through this. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| It's 8.30 on the gold francs. | ||
| It's 8.30... | ||
| It's 2.40 on the Dutch... | ||
| You act like Ted isn't the owner of the radio network. | ||
| He knows when the fucking breaks are. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| He gets it. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| Speed it up. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| It's so crazy because like... | ||
| The reality of this is we go back to 2009 and we see this disgusting sales shit going on. | ||
| We see the scam happening and all this. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It makes you wonder when Cash for Gold started and if the guy who started it... | ||
| Works for Ted Anderson. | ||
| Well, from what I understand, Midas Resources and a lot of other businesses like it. | ||
| What they would do is they would sell you gold, but you didn't get the gold. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Unless you wanted to take it. | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| Unless you wanted to take it. | ||
| Hold on, what? | ||
| Unless you wanted to take it out of their vaults, you would pay them, and they would store the gold, and you would have it. | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| From what I understand. | ||
| From what I understand... | ||
| Hold on, wait, what? | ||
| There's a lot of businesses that worked like this. | ||
| There were a ton of businesses. | ||
| Most of them were scams. | ||
| But a lot of... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, sir? | ||
| There's a lot of precious metals businesses that had, like, we have this all in vault, we'll send you pictures of it. | ||
| We'll send you pictures of your gold? | ||
| And if you call... | ||
| That's extortion! | ||
| But also, if you want to, like, withdraw, we will send you your bullion. | ||
| We'll send you your coins. | ||
| Well, then, yeah. | ||
| Send me my gold. | ||
| I bought gold. | ||
| But a lot of people don't do that. | ||
| A lot of people don't. | ||
| Why would you not do that? | ||
| Right, but to some extent, it's kind of like the way that, like, banks, you know, like, they only have to have 10% of deposits on hand. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I don't think that's true at all. | ||
| I was just trying to be cool. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| It's normal. | ||
| I like it when you break down. | ||
| 95% of the time, you have a cogent, coherent argument. | ||
| And every now and again, you'll just drop in like a, I think I just made that up. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| This episode has not been great for me in terms of making great points. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think I've been on the wrong side of things a couple times. | |
| You're not used to that. | ||
| Me neither. | ||
| I've been right pretty much this whole episode. | ||
| I've nailed it. | ||
| Especially when I said we should kill everybody who owns guns. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| I think that was the one. | ||
| Anyway, this has been a lot of fun. | ||
| I love the 28th so much in terms of Alex spending two hours building up. | ||
| The reveal, the prestige, that it's an article by Paul Joseph Watson. | ||
| Oh, by the way, in post, do you want to go back and put in us saying we're going to hold 20 seconds of silence before the 20 seconds of silence? | ||
| No. | ||
| No, you don't want to add that? | ||
| It's way too complicated. | ||
| I have no idea how to do this. | ||
| But I would like to give out our website, but before that, I'd like to give 20 seconds of silence. | ||
| Moment of silence for the internet. | ||
| Yes, yep. | ||

| That's where everything happens. | ||

| Here's what I'm going to say. | ||
| Here is what you're going to say. | ||
| I'm going to say... | ||
| I mean, look, this has been a lot of Alex. | ||
| There's been not many side characters along the way. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| We had a great caller, though. | ||
| We had a caller who was fucking on it. | ||
| Yeah, that guy gets the non-go-fuck-yourself award of the night. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| But I will say that it's very clear to me who should fuck themselves, and that's that Kevin Annette guy who has gotten cease and desist letters from the First Nations in Canada and still tries to make money off it. | ||
| Kevin Annette, go fuck yourself. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||
| Alex, I'm a first-time caller. | ||
