#170: Live In Austin

Today, Dan and Jordan go down to Occupied Texas to have a little discussion about the January 25, 2015 episode of The Alex Jones Show. The episode marks an important date in the history of Austin, but also includes Alex spinning wild lies about urine controls, the Renaissance, and things that make you go "boi-oi-oing."

Speaker Time Text
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Just wanted to stop in here with a quick introduction before we got into today's proceedings.
What you are about to listen to is a live episode that myself, Dan, and my co-host Jordan recorded when we were down in Austin, Texas on Friday evening of the last week here, June 15th.
Just...
Such a great time going down there, despite the ridiculous amount of travel in a very compact amount of time.
Time was very tight, but everything was so delightful, and I don't know, I want to thank everybody, but the list is so long of names of people to thank, so we'll get into some specifics later and discuss more of the details of the trip whenever me and Jordan sit back down for the next episode.
But for now, I just need it very sincerely to give a broad thank you to everybody who came out and made the event so fun and made it worthwhile to do all that ridiculous amount of traveling.
Also, thank you to everyone at Beerland.
They were so spectacular and accommodating, and it's pretty absurd that...
They were able to record the show so competently and then also send it to me so quickly that we can put it out here on Monday.
So a big thank you to them and everyone over there.
But beyond that, thank you to all the InfoWarriors for not coming, I guess.
That's another thank you because we'd rather not deal with y 'all's asses.
Anyway, I'm still exhausted, so at this point, I think I'll probably take a nap.
And you guys enjoy the episode.
We'll see you soon for a regular in-studio one.
Bye.
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
alex jones
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody!
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight!
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple dudes who like to fly to Austin, Texas, drink novelty beverages, and sit around to talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Indeed we are.
Dan?
dan friesen
What up?
jordan holmes
Dan.
dan friesen
What up, player?
jordan holmes
If you had just spent roughly the past 28 hours a week, and some random dude in Austin was like, why are you here?
And you said...
dan friesen
My response would be...
I gotta pass out.
I've been up too long.
Right.
I would say we're here because I know a lot about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
And I don't know anything about Alex Jones.
And therein lies the rub.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
jordan holmes
Yeah!
dan friesen
Guys, we have a spectacular episode to go over for you.
I've found something very particularly...
You know, it's of relevance to Austin.
I figure why not have something that's locally relevant as we're here.
And as we get started, I'd like to just drop out of context, drop on you from today's show.
alex jones
I am not a wolf and I'm not a sheep.
I am a vicious, giant, mean sheepdog.
unidentified
*laughter*
I am all things to all men.
dan friesen
I have varying feelings about animals and which ones aren't scary enough.
unidentified
What if they were both?
dan friesen
Why not just say you're a fucking wolf?
jordan holmes
Right?
No, no, no.
I'm a close cousin of the wolf.
That's gay.
dan friesen
So today, Jordan, we are going to be going over January 25th, 2015.
That is a monumental day in the history of Alex Jones, and for reasons that I don't particularly want to tell you just yet.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's kind of the show.
dan friesen
Yeah.
You nailed it.
So we will let that develop.
As we start today's episode, we find Alex Jones in a particularly...
Wistful mood, one might say.
He's getting a little bit heady right out of the gate.
jordan holmes
Out of the gate!
dan friesen
Which is a mood I like.
Also, keep track of how many times he says ghost in this clip.
alex jones
I guess my whole broadcast is a ghost of Armageddon's future attempting to warn the people as best I can about certain technochronic hell on earth that we face.
dan friesen
Real quick, I'm sorry, can we turn that down just a tiny bit?
Maybe in the monitors, it's blasting in my ears.
As much as I listen to this guy, I can't take it that loud.
unidentified
Which, which, it's a certain technocratic Armageddon?
dan friesen
No, I think he means certain as in absolute.
jordan holmes
Oh, absolute.
unidentified
I thought he meant like, of the many technocratic Armageddons.
dan friesen
Very easy to make that mistake.
Also, I was barely listening because that lick was sick.
alex jones
We allow the psychopaths that control the planet to take over.
But there's no fanfare.
There's no fear-mongering.
There's no Hollywood movies demonizing it so people are unaware of it.
They just line up and happily commit to it because that's the human spirit.
It's not to be cowards and to absolutely accept your environment when you have to live in it but to change it and make it better.
But what happens when the industrialization...
And the modernization and the safety first public service angle becomes a poison cyanide lining.
dan friesen
What?
alex jones
What happens when the machine is possessed by a eugenics ghost?
How do you fight that?
How do you change that?
jordan holmes
What does happen?
alex jones
There's a lot of different ways to do it.
dan friesen
Okay.
So I've listened to this entire episode.
I have no fucking idea what he's talking about.
He's using a lot of words, like poison cyanide lining.
jordan holmes
Give me three ways to do it.
dan friesen
What do you mean?
jordan holmes
I mean, he said there was a lot of ways to do it.
Give me three.
dan friesen
I'll tell you this right now.
That is not my job.
unidentified
It is not my job to play Mad Libs with Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
All right, all right.
Okay, I'm going to go with Army of Bears.
That's number one.
dan friesen
Turns out it's your job to play Mad Libs.
jordan holmes
Army of bears.
Also, those bears herded by sheepdogs.
dan friesen
Vicious sheepdogs.
jordan holmes
Vicious sheepdogs.
dan friesen
Sheepdogs, classically known for their viciousness.
jordan holmes
Are they?
dan friesen
I associate them with, no, that's a St. Bernard, the ones that have booze on their throat.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like a Looney Tunes cartoon?
dan friesen
I feel like sheepdogs are pretty friendly as a whole, right?
They just sort of bark at sheep.
Isn't that kind of what they do?
jordan holmes
The most vicious sheepdog is just like, hey, hey!
unidentified
Get over there!
Get over there!
dan friesen
You know what?
In that case, the metaphor holds.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
dan friesen
It kind of works.
But what's important here, and I think is really fun, is that that is all rambling nonsense, but you kind of get the feel of it.
There's something going on.
He's in an emotional state.
unidentified
There is like, oh boy, oh God, I...
dan friesen
The rest of the world does not care about certain doom.
And as you pointed out very astutely, almost every movie is about that on some level.
jordan holmes
There was even one with Denzel where he was fighting lawnmowers.
dan friesen
Man on Fire.
jordan holmes
Man on Fire.
Was that the one?
dan friesen
Nope.
jordan holmes
I don't think so.
unidentified
Certainly not.
dan friesen
That was the one with Dakota Fanning.
Nope.
Can't think of another Denzel movie.
Anyway.
jordan holmes
Can't think of another Denzel movie.
That's offensive.
dan friesen
Well, not while I'm trying to transition into the next clip.
jordan holmes
See, we got Equalizer.
dan friesen
My friend.
jordan holmes
Already out the gate.
Out the gate, live show, better than our podcast.
unidentified
Absolutely.
dan friesen
We do not have a rogues gallery that can yell out.
I just don't want us to be here three hours, so let's get to this next clip.
jordan holmes
Too late now.
dan friesen
Where we establish even further Alex Jones' mindset on this day of, like, real fucking weird.
alex jones
And all experience has shown that it is the animating contest of liberty that makes you happy, empowered, and great.
The problem is, as I've said a thousand times, the great men and women that have delivered us to this current position are dead and gone.
Dead and gone.
Gone, gone, gone.
In its place, the decadent slobs.
The mightiest of us, weak compared to those that came before.
Dishonored.
Fallen.
Flouching towards Gamora.
jordan holmes
Of course.
Gotta be flouching.
alex jones
There is a way to avert this great plan.
But I have not the strength to loose it.
dan friesen
Out to commercial.
There is a way to save the world from all this, but I have not the courage to lose it.
jordan holmes
I really think he's talking about Game of Thrones, right?
Like, this is the first man?
Like, no, Bran the Builder isn't around anymore.
dan friesen
Yeah, absolutely.
jordan holmes
Yeah, the wall is coming down.
There's no way to fight this.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
You've tapped onto something that I'm trying to loosely hint to.
That is, a wall is coming down.
jordan holmes
Alright.
unidentified
It may not let in the Night King.
dan friesen
I haven't watched Game of Thrones in a long time.
jordan holmes
The Night King?
dan friesen
The guy with the blue eyes.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
unidentified
He seems fine.
dan friesen
He's cold.
jordan holmes
That's a good description.
dan friesen
Alright, so for the rest of the beginning of this show, what I would say probably the first half hour, Alex spends, I would call it a pornographic amount of time talking about how awesome his show is.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
He spends...
So much time talking about how famous and popular he is, and this clip is just great for reasons that I know because I've looked into it.
alex jones
I'm here, ladies and gentlemen, at 4.07 Central Standard Time.
Many stations rebroadcast it in other time slots.
We want to thank all of those affiliates, both the old affiliates and the new affiliates.
I've been doing this syndicated radio broadcast.
For 20 years.
And for about seven years, I've been broadcasting on Sundays.
I figured that a lot of stations out there weren't ready to pick up the show weekdays, but if I could get them to try out the broadcast, that they would end up picking it up weekdays or weeknights, and that certainly happened.
We went from about 70 affiliates seven years ago or so, 68, 70-something affiliates.
And then with the Sunday show, almost every new affiliate we've gotten has picked up the Sunday show.
dan friesen
So, real quick, I just want to say, as a rule, I don't think that's a bad plan.
You know, like, I like to give Alex Jones his props when he deserves them.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And that's a good plan.
It's like, I could not get people on the hook for my dumbass show.
unidentified
That's true.
dan friesen
Maybe they have a gap on Sunday.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
Maybe I could Trojan horse this bitch onto your station.
So that's good.
I respect that.
His numbers are way off, though.
jordan holmes
You give him a taste for free.
dan friesen
So one of the fun things is that the Wayback Machine exists.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Archive.org.
You can go back and there's...
jordan holmes
That's dangerous for people who lie.
dan friesen
Yeah, oh, big time.
jordan holmes
They don't like the Wayback Machine.
dan friesen
There's lists of his affiliates that you can find from January 2015.
And the numbers do not match up.
jordan holmes
Okay.
How many did he say he had?
dan friesen
It was like over 160 or something like that.
jordan holmes
Over 160.
dan friesen
It's nonsense.
He has even, at the best estimate, like 100.
And that's not accurate.
I mean, I've gone through this.
Two of them just from Alaska.
Alright, guys?
jordan holmes
Two of them from Alaska.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Our Arco Base Camp.
That's not a city.
unidentified
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
dan friesen
That's a place where you start climbing a mountain.
jordan holmes
Wait, hold the fucking phone.
Are you telling me that of all the places, if you were to go to a base camp in Antarctica or Alaska, you would suddenly hear Alex Jones?
dan friesen
You might.
jordan holmes
That would be a bummer.
That would be a bummer.
dan friesen
More of a bummer, Jordan.
Check this out.
jordan holmes
We're going to make it to the top of this fucking mountain.
unidentified
You're all going to die and everything is made of evil.
Everything is made of evil and you are your children.
You are your children and they will eat you alive!
jordan holmes
What?
Alright, let's climb Everest.
Okay.
unidentified
You got this.
dan friesen
I'm just not gonna.
I guess.
Fuck it.
Fuck it.
If someone else has ever done it, I have done it too by the transitive property of all of us.
Who cares?
jordan holmes
Where else would you find globalists but at the top of the mountain?
dan friesen
You make a good point.
And now I have a good point.
Another one of his affiliates from Alaska is in Cooperook, Alaska.
And if you Google Cooperook, Alaska, you find that that is also not a city.
That is the Cooperook River oil field.
One of his affiliates is a fucking river.
jordan holmes
It's just a yurt.
dan friesen
So that's not great.
I started looking through his affiliates that he had on just the Sunday show, and there's supposedly 83, according to the Genesis Communications Network.
I'm sorry, 35. 35. Just on Sundays.
I started looking through them.
And man, first of all, they're all gone now.
But also, not all gone, but I went through and like...
jordan holmes
This was two years ago!
They're all gone.
dan friesen
Oh, Jesus, yeah.
jordan holmes
Or three years ago now.
dan friesen
It's a disaster.
It's rats getting off a sinking ship.
jordan holmes
Okay, alright.
dan friesen
And it's not even impressive rats.
It's like rats with a population of 2,000.
And rivers.
jordan holmes
It's a lazy rat king, is what it is.
dan friesen
So the reality on the ground is very, very clearly that he's losing affiliates.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
It's not going great.
alex jones
Right.
dan friesen
Which leads him to make this declaration, which basically amounts to, hey guys, don't be suspicious about the fact that all of the radio stations I'm on are going away.
alex jones
I can't tell you how many times.
I've been on a station in Orlando or in Corpus Christi or in New York City or in Los Angeles or in St. Louis or in Minnesota.
St. Paul, I remember, and we're on for a couple years, get great listenership.
It's just that they sell or they change format.
That's what happens.
And that's why no one listening to this broadcast should take it for granted.
Because these type of hardcore, pro-America, common sense...
Americana constitutional views are very popular.
They are common sense.
But at the same time, the power structure and the entire system does not like to fund it.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
Like Denzel.
dan friesen
Like all of the progressive radio that's been wildly marketed and very successful.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, right.
dan friesen
So now might be the time of the show that I should just lay it out there and tell you that this is the last episode Alex broadcasted on KLBJ here in Austin.
unidentified
Yes!
dan friesen
This episode is the last time Alex Jones was broadcast on the radio in Austin, Texas.
So that explains kind of why his mood is in this fatalistic, doomed...
jordan holmes
So what you're saying is we are actually listening to the ghost of Armageddon's past.
dan friesen
More or less.
jordan holmes
And he's describing it as the ghost of Armageddon's future.
dan friesen
Well, because he knows the contract is up and he's gone, but he doesn't want to say that on air.
He has to just lay the track of like, everything is great, don't worry about it.
We've got tons of affiliates.
jordan holmes
One of them's a river.
Admittedly, this was...
This was the day that Austin classified sheepdogs as service animals, right?
dan friesen
I'm unclear on...
That did not come up in my research.
Cannot say one way or the other.
jordan holmes
Cannot confirm nor deny.
I gotcha.
dan friesen
So what's real fun is that the next week KLBJ began airing brokered programming in his time slot.
A show about retirement planning.
jordan holmes
That's good news.
dan friesen
That was one hour of it.
And then the other hour...
jordan holmes
What retirement is there other than buying gold?
dan friesen
Oh, it's a great retirement plan.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
And then the other show that replaced it for the other hour is called Seton Healthline.
unidentified
Seton Healthline.
dan friesen
Yeah, so that is what ended up happening.
But...
jordan holmes
All of them sponsored by Diamond Gusset Jeans, right?
dan friesen
Oh, random jeans.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Despite that, Alex is trying to keep a very sunny face on, and he goes into this about how everything is totally fine, don't worry about it.
alex jones
And we've had a lot of ups and downs in 20 years on air, but if you look at the graph, it just goes straight up.
To frightening levels.
unidentified
Uh-uh.
alex jones
It's frightening.
dan friesen
It's frightening.
jordan holmes
It's terrifying.
If it were true, that would be terrifying.
I'm not lying about that.
dan friesen
So now, according to him, it's frightening, but according to archive.org in the Wayback Machine, you can go to Alexa and find out his stats.
You can find his traffic.
And Jordan, this is from January 2015.
How would you describe that graph?
jordan holmes
I would call it down, fast.
dan friesen
Precipitous.
jordan holmes
Rah!
I would call it like a ski drop, but instead it was the movie Cliffhanger and they died at the end.
dan friesen
I was really hoping that we could have a PowerPoint presentation going and everything, but I'll show anyone who wants to see this after the show, let's say.
jordan holmes
For the podcast listeners, fucking should have been here.
That's all I'm saying.
That's all I'm saying.
Hey, we love Sonya.
dan friesen
In terms of rankings of global websites, what you see is that in about September 2014, Alex Jones was at about 1,200 globally.
The 1,200th top website.
jordan holmes
October?
dan friesen
Within a month, 3,200th.
He dropped 2,000 rankings.
It is a ski slope.
It's a disaster.
jordan holmes
It's terrifying.
It's terrifying how up it went.
dan friesen
And mysteriously, if you go to Prison Planet statistics from the exact same time, same drop.
Which leads me to believe something's a mess.
Something's afoot.
jordan holmes
Something is up.
dan friesen
So at this point, Alex talks about what he would like to present as his statistics are.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
My rank right now in the U.S. is 544.
jordan holmes
Nope.
alex jones
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
MSNBC is 544.
We're 356 in the U.S. I thought we'd gone down.
I'm sorry.
We've gone up about 100 points.
Sorry.
MSNBC.com is 544.
We're 350-something.
Sorry.
So that's why they have George Soros' Media Matters doing investigations on us, sending private detectives, literally digging through our trash cans.
dan friesen
What are you going to find in that trash can?
What are you going to find in that trash can?
jordan holmes
I like the idea of a DeShield Hammett novel written about Alex Jones.
Like, we got a private eye and there's a whole film noir about it.
The femme fatale is Alex's wife and then the kids get lost?
I don't know.
dan friesen
Femme fatale is Soros.
jordan holmes
Femme fatale is Soros?
dan friesen
Yeah, that's what's going on.
jordan holmes
Soros, gotcha.
dan friesen
So, as he's saying this, he flashes up on screen a dual view here.
And again, if you want to see this, I'm sure I'll fucking show it to you.
But what it is, is the Alexa page of his website and MSNBC's website.
The MSNBC one is current in 2015.
The one of his is from right before that massive drop in 2014, in September.
He has very clearly manipulated this to make it look like that big drop never happened and is lying to his audience.
And who cares?
I care about this.
I don't know why I care about this.
jordan holmes
That's fascinating because he knows that there was a massive drop in traffic.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah.
jordan holmes
He cannot help but know that, especially because he's bringing up Alexa stats from another website.
dan friesen
Well, he's saying that, but maybe, you know, you might...
jordan holmes
Does he have a different Alexa than everybody else?
dan friesen
He might argue that the Alexa statistics aren't accurate because he hasn't said that that was from the website Alexa.
He's just flashed up numbers.
But unfortunately, he goes on to say this.
jordan holmes
Well, as we know, Soros controls numbers.
alex jones
Alexa.com, and it's an Amazon company that does online ratings.
It's pretty accurate overall.
It matches our Google Analytics and other ad agency, Arbitron, wide-spectrum analysis we have.
And you look at it, and it's scary how the numbers fit, depending on the metric, whether it's Google Analytics or what Amazon uses.
dan friesen
So he just admitted that what I've just told you is totally accurate.
jordan holmes
I mean, if you look into what I said, yes, it's not true.
But don't worry about it, because other websites can confirm it's not true.
Don't worry about it.
dan friesen
So anyway, he blows hard a bunch longer.
He says he has 18 million listeners, but if you go to Talkers, it's the closest that you come to actual ratings for Talk Radio.
You find that Rush Limbaugh has 14 million.
He's number one in the game for like 10 years.
jordan holmes
Jesus.
dan friesen
And Alex...
James Jones is coming in down at 13 with about 5.9 million.
So, I mean, that's still a lot of listeners.
I'm not going to take that away.
jordan holmes
When did he start claiming that he had like 3.5 billion?
When did he start claiming that he had 60% of the population of the whole planet Earth?
dan friesen
That was when that super male vitality psychosis kicked in.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
unidentified
All right.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
That was when Buckley done mixed some with his...
jordan holmes
What was that, a February?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
He put it on a burger and he was like, I guess the whole world listens.
dan friesen
No, it's a slow-acting sedative narcotic that someone was putting in his supermail.
Right, right, right.
jordan holmes
Hashtag me too.
unidentified
Because he doesn't drink Diet Cokes.
dan friesen
So, at this point, we're going to jump away a little bit from just the bullshit about the statistics.
And I'm actually kind of kicking myself.
Maybe I shouldn't have told you this was the last episode of KLBJ.
Maybe I tipped my hand too early.
But here's a clip where...
jordan holmes
Death comes to us all.
unidentified
But for you, you die without honor.
dan friesen
You're not far off.
alex jones
They're scared.
And they should be.
Because if a bumbling, stuttering, hillbilly redneck...
jordan holmes
So me.
alex jones
With no college degree can be kicking your ass worldwide right now.
Can you imagine when the other men, greater than I stand up, it's game over.
And let me give you a message that I've been given for 20 years, because in my heart I've always known this.
dan friesen
So right there real quick, before we get to the message.
jordan holmes
Call Larry Nichols.
dan friesen
He's been getting for 20 years this message because he knows it in his heart.
Which leads me to believe he has not been getting this message.
Of course not.
It's just a delusion that he feels internally.
But here's what that is.
jordan holmes
Pixies are real.
alex jones
I'm here to blow the alarm.
To blow the trumpet.
To get the real warriors up.
That's all I'm doing.
I got big lungs.
I'm willing to scream out.
dan friesen
Okay.
The real Warriors.
jordan holmes
He's got all you need.
dan friesen
Mike Cernovich.
Jack Posobiec.
I'm screaming, come out of the woodwork.
The real Warriors.
jordan holmes
Please.
dan friesen
Cool, cool.
unidentified
Is Oren Schroeder in the mix yet?
jordan holmes
This is 2015, right?
dan friesen
I don't fucking know.
jordan holmes
Alright, well, this is kind of your show, so you should know what fucking year it is.
dan friesen
I'll tell you what, I do have a timeline working about Alex himself, but I have not branched out to what Owen Schroer is up to.
jordan holmes
See, now I'm kind of interested in what Owen Schroer was doing before.
dan friesen
Fine, the next six months I'll just study him.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no, that's not worth it.
unidentified
No one's going to be happy about that.
dan friesen
I go down to St. Louis, try and find out what his real name is.
Not going to do that.
So, at this point, Alex gets into some financials.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
I'll say this.
These numbers lead me to believe we got some problems.
jordan holmes
So, he's a billionaire, right?
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Or he's broke.
He's never what he is.
He's never like, I am a millionaire who owns a few boats and it's no big deal.
He's always like, I'm the richest fucking human being that's ever goddamn lived.
Or he's like...
These lawsuits have made me fucking broke.
unidentified
I don't know my own children's name anymore.
I'm not allowed to see my kids.
And if you don't buy this fucking pill, just one, AutoShip!
AutoShip gives you a 40% discount!
I need to know!
dan friesen
I love...
unidentified
That's fantastic.
Yep, good work.
dan friesen
So let's get to these financials.
alex jones
And I'm not looking for physical wealth, but I have raised, I did the math a few months ago with the accountants, $187 million in 20 years to finance this operation.
That's an example of what one person can do.
jordan holmes
Over 20 years.
alex jones
Cost me tens of millions of dollars a year to run this operation, and you, the listeners, have come and supported us.
With the high-quality products at Infowars4.com, and we've put 95% of that money back into the operation after taxes, and it's had a huge effect.
So I salute you all.
You have helped forge this sword.
dan friesen
Bone broth!
Tree bone broth, bro.
He goes on to talk about how that sword will stab globalists or something.
jordan holmes
The sword of bones will stab globalists.
This is Game of Thrones, isn't it?
unidentified
Absolutely.
dan friesen
So the problem that I have is $180-something million that he's raised over 20 years.
If you break that down, you divide it out.
That's $9 million a year.
If he's saying it costs tens of millions of dollars to run the operation every year, where's the rest of them millions coming from, buddy?
$187 is not that much over 20 years to run the operation he's claiming to run.
And that's not including a salary.
That's probably including a salary.
unidentified
It's probably mostly a salary.
I talked myself full circle on that one.
I like it when you give up on a point on your own.
jordan holmes
Well, I was saying something and now I disagree with me, so we can move on.
dan friesen
Yeah, I suppose so.
jordan holmes
You have spent months on this episode and you disagreed with yourself the moment you heard the actual thing.
dan friesen
Yeah, that happens.
jordan holmes
Alright, here we go.
dan friesen
We're never so clear about ideas as we are when we're in front of people.
William Shakespeare.
unidentified
laughter laughter laughter Figured that might save it a little bit.
dan friesen
So we all know that as of late 2015, Alex Jones jumped full hog into being...
Trump propagandist.
We watched that happen in real time.
But you might be asking yourself, like, in January 2015, where were his allegiances?
jordan holmes
He's back on Rand Paul, right?
dan friesen
You might think that.
unidentified
You're wrong.
alex jones
Palin says she's seriously interested in the 2016 campaign.
Hey, I'll say it.
Palin's a lot better than Jeb Bush or Chris Christie.
She's the real deal.
And that's why the system attacks her and says she's dumb because she's a woman.
With these fake feminist dirtbags that are really just social controllers that want to dominate women and lecture to them and not let them make their own decisions.
Every fake leftist feminist doesn't want a woman to be armed.
That right there shows you don't care about women.
I mean, Sarah Palin is so much better than the current so-called neocon leadership of the Republican Party.
dan friesen
So, real fun.
jordan holmes
You know what's weird?
That actually might be true.
That's the weirdest part.
But Neocon leadership at that time was fucking garbage.
At least Sarah Palin was just fucking stupid.
Like, you gotta give her that.
dan friesen
You sound like one of these bumbly, dumb, liberal male feminists who don't want women to have guns!
unidentified
That's true!
jordan holmes
That's true!
dan friesen
So you might be surprised to find out that in 2010, Alex Jones put out a video with the title, Neocon Palin's Tea Party Takeover Will Facilitate Obama Re-Election.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
Calls her a neocon and saying she's taking over the tea party.
Also, in 2010, he put out a two-part video.
unidentified
Two parts!
dan friesen
That was titled, Sarah Palin is not going to save you three exclamation points.
jordan holmes
Three exclamation points?
dan friesen
Yeah, so that's a little bit of a...
jordan holmes
Anything between two and four is disgusting.
dan friesen
Yeah, but this is even more disgusting.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
alex jones
Is she as good as a Rand Paul or a Ted Cruz?
No.
She'd make a hell of a VP.
That's a winning ticket right there.
Let's con...
Oh, yeah.
Can you imagine Cruz, Palin?
unidentified
Or...
And I'm sorry, if she was...
alex jones
As smart or as constitutional as a Ted Cruz, I'd say her.
But, I mean, I've just, I've listened to them both, read their writings, they're both really smart.
jordan holmes
Okay!
dan friesen
Real quick, what writings?
unidentified
Okay!
Alright!
dan friesen
What writings?
jordan holmes
What, what, like at the end of the day, what readings?
What if they're...
unidentified
Who knows?
dan friesen
Hold on, hold on, hold on!
Wait for the end of the clip!
Wait for the end of the clip!
jordan holmes
Can you imagine that, Dan?
dan friesen
What?
jordan holmes
Can you imagine that?
Can you imagine Cruz Palin in 2016?
dan friesen
Yeah, kind of.
jordan holmes
Can you imagine how great that would be?
alex jones
I don't think in the law and giving slick speeches, I'm as good as Ted Cruz.
I'm sorry, he's just more presidential.
It's just the winning ticket is Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin, or Rand Paul, Sarah Palin.
I mean, just, it cannot be beaten.
Look at every Democrat.
I'm sorry, I'm salivating.
I'm sorry.
I'm having...
I'm having...
Oh, they call them...
Precipitation dreams.
I better stop right now.
dan friesen
Gross.
unidentified
Gross.
jordan holmes
All right.
All right.
dan friesen
Gross.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
He just jizzed.
jordan holmes
All right.
All right.
dan friesen
He just jizzed without touching himself.
jordan holmes
There are so many problems.
All right.
unidentified
One.
Who is he coming to?
And two, who calls them precipitation dreams?
That's a dream about rain!
dan friesen
I love the idea that he's trying to clean up his language for radio so he can't say wet.
Gotta call it precipitation dreams.
jordan holmes
You know, some people call them wet dreams, but I'm not that kind of gross, so I just call them coming in my pants all the time.
dan friesen
So, it's real fun that he's super into Ted Cruz at this point, January 2015.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Would it surprise you to find out that in 2016 he put out a video, did Cruz drop out to cover up Kennedy assassination connection?
Also, would it surprise you that it gets worse, he put out a video in 2016 with the title, Ted Cruz, A Cross-Dressing Peeping Tom?
Question mark?
jordan holmes
Now, that is a good question.
unidentified
Fair.
jordan holmes
It may or may not be true, but that's a good question.
dan friesen
Inquiring minds want to know.
unidentified
There's an episode of the Magic School Bus about it.
dan friesen
So that's pretty strange.
I think that to me is like, that's fun.
That's a real fun shift you made there, buddy.
Very not suspicious.
So at this point, Alex decides to jump into the news.
And at this point, the Patriots had won the Super Bowl.
Under what some people describe as suspicious circumstances.
jordan holmes
Ted Cruz.
alex jones
Deflategate.
dan friesen
What's going on?
unidentified
Zodiac Killer?
jordan holmes
Question mark.
dan friesen
Did Ted Cruz deflate the footballs?
I don't care particularly about sports or cheating in sports.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So I don't have a thought about this.
And I've only kept this clip in to watch Alex Jones get really fucking bent out of shape about people making ball jokes.
unidentified
And then 20 seconds later, make some really happy ass ball jokes.
jordan holmes
Oh, he's definitely going to make a ball joke.
alex jones
But people love...
Oh, yeah!
The Patriots, they're involved in a conspiracy and everybody wants to email me and talk about it.
Go over every level of it and why the teams bring their own balls and everything else.
There's all the ball jokes that go along with it.
unidentified
Taking the high road on this one.
alex jones
How is there a conspiracy here, but there's not with LIBOR and world interest rates or the private federal reserve or derivatives?
I mean, that's what really affects you.
That's where you're really being screwed over.
But it's boring suits and ties.
I mean, who cares?
So let's cover this right now.
Patriots say they follow the rules and accept no blame.
Belichick says 100% Patriots did nothing wrong.
Well, there's referees that you see handling those balls.
I mean, they love to squeeze on them and see if they're inflated or not.
By the end of the game, I guess they...
Do they drain them before they pass them on to sell them on eBay or whatever?
Or is that Obama?
unidentified
Oh!
jordan holmes
Shots fired at Obama draining balls!
dan friesen
So as a...
I've quit doing stand-up.
But as an active stand-up...
jordan holmes
As you can see right now, you're sitting down the whole fucking time.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
I like to be casual.
If you were a judge on Last Comic Standing...
Yes.
jordan holmes
First of all, I would say cancel this show.
dan friesen
Fair.
How do you feel about them ball jokes?
That's pretty gross, right?
That's pretty bad.
jordan holmes
Do they have a...
Is it like a star search thing?
I give them three and a half stars.
dan friesen
That's high.
jordan holmes
I give them three and a half stars.
dan friesen
That's very high.
unidentified
You know why?
jordan holmes
He had the balls to do it.
unidentified
All right.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Go ride to Chicago.
*laughter*
dan friesen
That's fair.
That's fair.
unidentified
Give me one.
jordan holmes
Alright, I'll put minus one on there for me.
God damn it.
dan friesen
Also, I like as a new wrinkle in our show, me doing finger guns into the air and yelling, bow, bow, bow.
jordan holmes
God, when we finally get that soundboard with all the drops, we're going to be amazing.
dan friesen
You know what's really tragic?
Those are cheap as shit.
We could be doing that right now if we had any initiative.
jordan holmes
We can get 30 people in Austin on three months' notice.
It's no big deal.
unidentified
Hell yeah!
jordan holmes
Thank you guys so much for coming out.
unidentified
Yeah!
dan friesen
Now, I'd like to poll the audience.
Make some noise if you like the Renaissance.
Do you?
unidentified
Do you?
Because if you know Dan, you know he's going to...
You don't love the Renaissance.
He's going to destroy it for you.
jordan holmes
Oh, everybody had the fucking plague or whatever.
Fuck off!
dan friesen
Well, there were diseases.
jordan holmes
Syphilis?
dan friesen
Alex believes that the primary motivation, or at least he's expressing this opinion on this episode, that the primary motivation for the globalists to want to crush everybody is that they fucking hate the Renaissance.
We kind of know that a little bit.
We know that that's sort of a piece of his worldview.
But he makes a very weird, weird line here.
I think it might set off some historical buzzers.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
And their stated plan is to end the Renaissance that started roughly 500 years ago with the Gutenberg Press.
unidentified
That's not how that works.
alex jones
That's the printing press, ladies and gentlemen, that first printed the Gutenberg Bible.
This is their own stated goal.
I'm going to get into Davos openly announcing this in a moment.
You understand?
What?
They're announcing this.
So you're not allowed to say it's not happening, okay?
dan friesen
What?
unidentified
Hold on.
dan friesen
Where are your problems with that clip, Jordan?
unidentified
Hold on.
jordan holmes
First off, when did the Renaissance begin, Dan?
dan friesen
500 years ago with the Gutenberg press.
jordan holmes
500 years ago.
All right, all right.
dan friesen
That's not accurate at all.
jordan holmes
Well, also...
Do historians agree that the Renaissance didn't end until the globalists?
dan friesen
Yeah, it's still going, baby!
jordan holmes
Is it still going and the globalists are still like, oh, we're going to stop this Renaissance!
dan friesen
From what I understand, now granted, I'm not an ancient or old-timey European scholar, but from my understanding, the Renaissance refers primarily to...
Something that happened in Italy.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
In about the 13th century.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
And it spread across Europe.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
But 500 years ago in what?
The 1700s?
unidentified
1600s.
jordan holmes
I started to think about it.
dan friesen
1500s?
alex jones
It went on a while.
jordan holmes
It did go on a while.
dan friesen
So I started to think about it, and then I was like...
Maybe I don't understand what he's talking about.
jordan holmes
Yeah, what renaissance is he referring to?
dan friesen
So let the man speak.
We'll see if we can get down to some brass tacks.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
Can you guys give me the date of the Gutenberg?
I think it's...
jordan holmes
Tuesday.
alex jones
14, late 14s if I'm right.
Maybe 15 early.
I forget.
Let's just see.
I wouldn't win Jeopardy is the point, but let's just go.
unidentified
No shit.
alex jones
But that's established by most historians that the Gutenberg press...
You didn't even answer that with a question.
...is the mark of the beginning of the renaissance.
dan friesen
Nope.
alex jones
So the elites, the royalty, the church, they're all worried about it.
What do they do?
They begin to try to use licenses and other things to control the new renaissance.
They try to take control of society.
They fund Malthus and they fund Galton and they fund eugenics in the last 200 years.
dan friesen
Hold on now.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
Hold on.
jordan holmes
We skipped over a lot of time, but don't worry about it.
dan friesen
We da-da-da'd our way to Francis Galton.
jordan holmes
It was Gutenberg, then Galton, and then we're done.
dan friesen
Right.
And now we're here.
jordan holmes
And then Soros fucking showed up.
dan friesen
There's fucking chimeras.
So I thought about it a little bit, and he can't be talking about that Italian renaissance of the philosophical and architectural and artistic.
jordan holmes
Dan, you looked it up.
What's the exact date of the Gutenberg press?
dan friesen
It's pretty close to what he's talking about.
It's like 14. I actually didn't care all that much.
jordan holmes
Which is roughly 100 years after the Renaissance as we know it.
dan friesen
Well, a lot of it, I mean, I don't think it's the specific beginning point, but a lot of Dante is part of the beginning of the Renaissance.
Now, it would be stupid of me to sit up here and say that the Gutenberg press was not a huge part of facilitating the spread.
Of the ideas and what have you.
jordan holmes
Never heard of it.
dan friesen
But also a movable type was invented in China way before that.
jordan holmes
Petty.
dan friesen
So I started to look into it, and I'm like, are there more renaissances?
And of course there are.
The American Renaissance took place between 1876 and 1917.
It was a period where America rediscovered nationalism.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And I start smelling, oh, that could be what he's talking about.
It might be shifting a couple hundred years.
jordan holmes
But that wasn't 500 years ago.
dan friesen
No, but he could bring in Galton then.
jordan holmes
I'll tell you what renaissance he wasn't talking about, the Harlem Renaissance.
I'll tell you that right goddamn now.
dan friesen
Jordan just beat me to my joke.
unidentified
Yeah!
Yeah!
Take that, racist!
dan friesen
I think this might be 200 episodes in, you finally beat me to a joke.
That's not fair.
It's probably happened before.
And I just put my tail between my legs.
Pretended it didn't happen.
Also, there was an American Renaissance in literature that happened just before the Civil War, but I think Alex is illiterate, so I don't think he's talking about that.
Again, the Harlem Renaissance isn't what he's talking about.
Oh, just fun?
Fun fact?
There's a white supremacist magazine called The American Renaissance.
They claim to be out to, quote, protect Western culture.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's good.
dan friesen
But they don't have as much to lose as Alex, so they make it very clear they're talking about white people.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
They make it absolutely clear.
jordan holmes
Why even say Western?
Why even bother with it?
dan friesen
It's fun code.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
Probably gets you beat up less, I would assume.
So the American Renaissance, the founder of it, a guy named Jared Taylor, paid for a robocall to go out before the Iowa caucuses that said, quote, I urge you to vote for Donald Trump because he is the one candidate who points out that we should accept immigrants who are good for America.
We don't need Muslims.
We need smart, well-educated white people who will assimilate into our culture.
Vote Trump.
So I'm not saying that Alex is talking about that American Renaissance, but boy, it's familiar.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
It seems similar.
dan friesen
It seems thematically very similar.
jordan holmes
Where are we getting all these white immigrants?
dan friesen
I don't know.
unidentified
Where are they coming from?
dan friesen
Eastern Europe.
jordan holmes
Eastern Europe?
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
Are we getting a lot of Russian immigrants?
I want to know the numbers on it.
unidentified
I like to make that noise.
jordan holmes
The sound of a sheepdog in heat.
dan friesen
I don't know.
There might be some people who have never listened to our podcast, and that might explain why I think this room got very uncomfortable.
During me reading about a white supremacist publication that bears shocking similarities to the rhetoric that Alex Jones puts out.
jordan holmes
If you've never heard our podcast before, we're just going to keep talking.
It's a weird thing.
This is the whole show.
dan friesen
If we keep talking, Alex will say some more stupid stuff.
And then burlesque dancing will happen.
jordan holmes
So it's going to be a good fucking show!
dan friesen
It's kind of like...
You know, you take your medicine, and that's this show.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
We can all have fun.
jordan holmes
Then you get a chaser.
Yeah, I like it.
dan friesen
So at this point, Alex wants to talk a little bit about nefarious villain.
jordan holmes
Which one?
dan friesen
Al Gore.
jordan holmes
Oh, I thought it was Jafar.
alex jones
Here's another one.
Al Gore spends $90 trillion to ban cars from every major city in the world, Daily Caller.
And it's got his quotes.
unidentified
That's a lot of fucking money.
alex jones
And the GCEC study.
That says just ban cars entirely because the elite fly helicopters anyways.
dan friesen
Oh, that makes sense.
How's the smell test going for you on that one?
jordan holmes
All right.
Is there $90 trillion, period, in the world?
dan friesen
Yeah, I think so.
Probably.
jordan holmes
Where?
dan friesen
I mean, maybe not all dollars.
jordan holmes
Okay, okay, okay.
If the entire wealth of humanity was put together, would it equal $90 trillion?
dan friesen
Yeah, absolutely.
jordan holmes
You think so?
dan friesen
Absolutely, and I know that because I read a Business Insider article about this.
jordan holmes
All right, well, once again, you fucking researched it, and now I look like an asshole.
dan friesen
Aha, that's the research equivalent of you beating me to a joke.
jordan holmes
This is the worst Harlem Renaissance!
dan friesen
So, he says that there's quotes from Al Gore in this Daily Caller article, and there's not.
Well, there's one quote in it.
jordan holmes
Ban cars, because I can fly a helicopter!
dan friesen
Spoiler alert, this article is just about having more public transit for people.
That's all he wanted.
He doesn't want to ban cars.
jordan holmes
Do you know the CTA is looking into helicopters?
dan friesen
Oh, absolutely.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Very efficient.
jordan holmes
The red line is so slow in the mornings.
dan friesen
What's going on here?
Is there a smoke machine?
unidentified
Is there a fog machine gone?
dan friesen
Alright.
Sorry.
I might be having a stroke.
jordan holmes
Can I get another beer?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
What's up?
jordan holmes
There's a goth club?
Hell yeah.
dan friesen
Oh, fuck.
jordan holmes
Fuck yeah.
dan friesen
Goths just celebrate death.
jordan holmes
Alright.
dan friesen
I don't know.
That's me being petty.
So, the only quote...
jordan holmes
Now I want to do that Paul F. Tompkins joke in Alex Jones' voice.
Just that, just that.
unidentified
I saw a goth running, and I was like, where's the funeral?
dan friesen
Now I'm going to be Alex Jones being a judge on Star Search.
One and a half stars.
So the only quote from Al Gore in that article is this.
Quote, it is absolutely crucial that we build public will for an agreement.
The purpose is to have a billion voices with one message to demand climate action now.
That's not even related to the issue that Alex is pretending that the article is about.
unidentified
And again...
dan friesen
It's just about public transit in developing cities, trying to create more of it and improving public transit in existing urban areas.
So I had to go further than the Daily Caller article because you always do.
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
So I read this Business Insider article that quoted...
Hey, Dan here.
I just wanted to stop in.
I needed to drop in here because we had a situation where the recording of the episode here...
It filled up the card that we were recording on.
And so there's a tiny little bit of a drop-off in terms of just a little bit of the conversation drops out.
And so I just wanted to step in here and fill you in on what we were talking about.
This is in the middle of a conversation we were having about Al Gore wanting to ban cars.
And I guess I don't need to set it up.
You guys just heard it.
But anyway, the Business Insider article, it goes on to explain that...
Felipe Calderon was quoted as talking about how there's a priority that we don't build up cities that pointlessly have low density just for the sake of people using cars and that it's much smarter.
And much more efficient that we should have higher density areas with mass transportation that services everybody in much more efficient ways.
As somebody who lives in a city with amazing mass transportation and then also limited mass transportation out to the suburbs where a lot of people like to live, I feel very much in line.
I very much agree with that.
And then also, Alex's reporting on this, of the story, is him saying that Al Gore wants to spend $90 trillion in order to ban cars, which is a massive, massive misrepresentation of things.
Jordan, at the show, would ask if there was actually $90 trillion in the world, and I said, I do know that.
Because of this Business Insider article, and then it goes, here's why.
Here's the quote from that Business Insider article.
It turns out the $90 trillion is the total of infrastructure investment that is likely to be spent anyway building up and upgrading cities.
Gore and Calderon are arguing that it be spent more wisely to produce cities that don't encourage people to burn fossil fuels just to get from point A to B. So the $90 trillion isn't something that Al Gore is encouraging people spend.
It's a reference to the amount that would be spent in infrastructure projects of this sort anyway.
So there you go.
That's what we were talking about.
And now we will jump back to where the recording picks up with another...
Full of shit story that Alex is telling.
All the best, folks.
So, now...
jordan holmes
Minus one for you!
dan friesen
I'll take it.
So, now we get to probably my favorite story that Alex is lying about on this show.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
It is the best.
And Alex loses his shit talking about it.
alex jones
He links through to the German newspapers.
You can't make this up.
I remember covering this last year.
dan friesen
Oh, you can't.
alex jones
German court rules man can urinate while standing up.
Feminist groups had claimed that men urinating standing up was a privilege over women and was an act of male dominance.
But a court has ruled that they will not pay a 2,855 pound damage for a feminist landowner, apartment owner, that said that her male renters might splatter on the seat.
But remember last year Michelle Obama said, don't say the word bossy because feminists aren't bossy.
No, what you are is a bunch of hardcore totalitarian scumbags that want to control reality and lecture us how to live and operate while telling women that they shouldn't have a man in the house so they're alone and the state's their husband and a woman shouldn't have a gun.
Well, you know what?
Everybody's done with you and we know who you are, filth, and it's declassified.
You're CIA-funded.
Second hour coming up.
We'll pee standing up.
You can go to hell.
unidentified
Yeah, we did it!
dan friesen
I will be honest.
I don't agree with anything he said.
unidentified
I don't know what he said!
I've never been more pumped than him going out to break and declassifying your CIA funding.
alex jones
We're going to piss standing up.
unidentified
You can go to hell.
Who?
Who?
Who declassified what?
jordan holmes
Who is the CIA funding?
unidentified
Do Germans use pounds now?
dan friesen
Oh, no.
That's because it...
There's a...
The article that he's going off of had a transfer of...
What's it called?
unidentified
Conversion.
dan friesen
That's it.
It had it converted.
jordan holmes
We are only doing live shows from now on.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
So, this story that he's talking about is super fun.
First of all, he's talking about it as being some sort of feminist intrusion on men's rights to piss standing up.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And that's really funny because...
jordan holmes
That happens all the time.
dan friesen
This story is about a dude...
Whose landlord was like, hey, because you piss standing up, the urea that you spill has ruined the marble around the toilet.
I'm suing you because that's not covered by the deposit that you put down.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So that's the thing.
jordan holmes
Hey, you ruined my tile.
unidentified
Fuck off.
dan friesen
But that case ended up being found in favor of the guy who did the pissing.
But also, I've found a bunch of stories about this.
Every single story refers to the landlord as a man.
jordan holmes
He's a male feminist.
It's the same thing.
dan friesen
But he's saying that this woman landlord...
jordan holmes
What is a male feminist but a woman?
dan friesen
Fair...
unidentified
What?
jordan holmes
Yes!
unidentified
Hold on.
jordan holmes
That's science!
dan friesen
The rhythm of your speech tricked me into agreeing with you.
Yeah, so in this, the ruling comes after a landlord took his...
Former tenant to court for refusing to pay for damage to the marble floor of the bathroom in his flat, and he said was caused by stray drops from the tenant's habit of relieving himself standing up.
Now, I do think...
jordan holmes
You know what?
unidentified
I'm kind of...
Like, stray drops did it?
dan friesen
It's a little dubious.
jordan holmes
Like, you have to pee all over the fucking floor.
dan friesen
Yeah, oh yeah.
A lot.
jordan holmes
You've got to really go for it.
dan friesen
Yeah, it kind of has to...
jordan holmes
Now, now, don't get me wrong.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm not judging.
I get drunk enough to pee all over the walls.
I'm not worried.
dan friesen
Undoubtedly.
I do think that this is really funny, and everybody, if you want to look into it, there is a little bit of a debate in Germany about whether or not it's okay to piss standing up at public urinals and public bathrooms because of the mess you make and stuff like that.
unidentified
How do you piss sitting down at a urinal, though?
dan friesen
Oh, dude.
jordan holmes
That's just a question I have.
dan friesen
Don't fucking pretend you don't know how that works.
unidentified
No, no, no, what do you mean I don't know how that works?
dan friesen
You say you're drunk enough to piss on the wall, you're not drunk enough to squat in a urinal?
unidentified
No, I'm drunk enough to shit in a urinal, I'm not drunk enough to pee in one.
dan friesen
The same mechanics work.
unidentified
Okay, alright, alright, I buy it, I buy it.
dan friesen
So anyway, he's not done with this story.
alex jones
I've heard about feminists in public schools years ago.
I didn't believe this when I first heard about it, like 20 years ago.
I would hear about it on Conservative Talk Radio because they cover this.
And I think, the feminists aren't trying to make boys in elementary school and then in high school pee sitting because it makes girls feel bad.
And I went and looked it up and they actually do that.
unidentified
What?
alex jones
I mean, these people want to tell you how to urinate.
unidentified
Yeah, so does Tim Allen.
dan friesen
I don't think anyone got that.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I know.
It's a 90s bit.
dan friesen
He wanted to tell you how to pee?
jordan holmes
Yeah, he did a whole, like, he had a whole year's worth of, like, men are supposed to pee with a seat up.
Like, it was ridiculous.
I know.
unidentified
I get it.
jordan holmes
I get it.
I'm a comedy nerd, and we just had Jay make fun of nerds.
unidentified
Fuck off.
dan friesen
You know what I have to say to that?
alex jones
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.
jordan holmes
That's the worst Tim Allen I've ever heard in my entire life.
unidentified
I've never claimed to be an impression guy.
jordan holmes
That's Alex's Bernie Sanders writ large.
What are you doing?
dan friesen
That's writ large.
unidentified
Bat, bat, bat.
Rit large.
Across the wall.
dan friesen
So, um...
Alex is super excited when he wants to talk about people telling you how to piss.
And that is fair.
Because that's fun.
That's really fun.
jordan holmes
It is kind of fun.
dan friesen
But I love this next clip.
It's probably one of my favorite things I've found.
jordan holmes
Dan, question.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
You pee sitting down?
dan friesen
Sometimes, baby!
I don't know if you know this, but I've made the point very clear already on this podcast.
I like to be casual.
unidentified
Alright, alright.
dan friesen
I got zero problems sitting down to pee.
Sometimes you have to take a load off.
jordan holmes
I feel like you should be wearing cargo pants while you say that.
I feel like that's important.
dan friesen
So, hey, gotta keep a place for my scissors along my leg.
I don't know why scissors.
jordan holmes
Scissors?
What are you doing with scissors in your leg?
dan friesen
I was very close to saying bolt cutters.
unidentified
Honestly.
dan friesen
I decided to scale it down to scissor, and I don't know why I came up with either.
jordan holmes
Who's the fucking centrist now?
You're walking around with bolt cutters?
Goddamn, son.
dan friesen
Sounds like it's you.
I'm a bitch.
This next clip is one of my favorite things.
It's because if you really listen to this and you know that Alex knows that this is his last show on KLBJ in Austin.
That you can just tell, like, that's feeding into him, and his heart is not into this at all.
jordan holmes
This is a sad clip?
dan friesen
Towards the end, he's just sort of phoning this baby.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
We got a bunch of epic videos and things to play.
We'll get to all of them when we come back after this quick break.
dan friesen
This is fucking droopy dog shit right here.
This is...
unidentified
I'm not on radio anymore.
alex jones
But reality is so much more incredible than what...
Madison Avenue and Wall Street and Hollywood and the Times Square mentality could even imagine.
The world is so much bigger than just dominating fellow humans and treating them like chattel, like bricks to build a wall of enslavement.
Humanity are burning souls ready to be empowered.
jordan holmes
Go to break!
unidentified
Go to break!
alex jones
Get him to break!
unidentified
Ready to be empowered.
Ready to be.
Given the universe.
And that's what these tyrants seek to shudder.
alex jones
They will think that humanity will rise.
dan friesen
Who?
No.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
I don't know.
I just...
I reject the premise.
I think that's my new catchphrase.
jordan holmes
I'm actually confused.
What is the premise of this?
dan friesen
Alex is tired.
unidentified
Alright.
dan friesen
I'm sick of the bullshit.
jordan holmes
That's not a bad premise.
dan friesen
Yeah, absolutely.
So at this point, what he decides to do is like, I gotta fill about another 40 minutes of radio.
jordan holmes
But I'm bummed.
dan friesen
So I'm just gonna take some calls.
jordan holmes
Ooh, that's not a good idea.
While he's bummed?
dan friesen
Fun trivia.
jordan holmes
This is like public therapy then.
dan friesen
Fun trivia.
He gets two callers named Gerald.
That's meaningless trivia.
We're not gonna listen to either of them.
unidentified
No, no, no.
jordan holmes
You know what that is?
That is just more proof that his audience is white.
That's the most proof.
dan friesen
And so is this clip.
alex jones
Well, I mean, let's just face it.
A lot of cultures in Asia contributed to science, and everybody contributed.
But, my God, I mean, the West made civilization what it is today.
And every other culture adopted it because it was the most efficient and dominant.
And absolutely, it's a threat.
It's renaissance, so it's under attack.
The elite want the fruits of the renaissance, but while denying us all.
And by the way, this is in major news.
Hating Whitey, that's the name of the course.
Arizona has a course on how whites are bad.
jordan holmes
It was also in Black Sheep.
dan friesen
Yeah, we can talk about that a little bit more here in a bit.
It's a class that this Arizona professor was teaching about the problem of whiteness.
And as we've discussed, it's not about white people being bad.
It's about the concept and historical implications of the idea of whiteness.
It's an exclusionary idea.
jordan holmes
It's actually about people saying things like...
Other people have contributed to society or whatever, but the West nailed it.
dan friesen
So now, just for fun, I have a list.
jordan holmes
That's kind of the problem of being white.
dan friesen
I have a list of things that Chinese, just the Chinese, have attributed and given to culture.
jordan holmes
Paper!
unidentified
Whiskey!
jordan holmes
Dogs!
dan friesen
Moving type printing!
unidentified
Gunpowder!
jordan holmes
The concept of right!
dan friesen
The compass!
unidentified
Alcohol!
dan friesen
The mechanical clock!
Tea!
Silk!
The umbrella!
Iron smelting!
Porcelain!
Bronze!
Kites!
Seed drills!
Toothbrushes!
Money!
Coffins!
Bells, fired bricks, noodles, artillery, cannons, ephedrine.
unidentified
Ephedrine?
dan friesen
That might not be right.
I might have mistyped that.
I'm going to stand by it anyway.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I might as well go with it.
dan friesen
Dry docks, handguns, incense, irrigation, parachutes, pinhole cameras, sunglasses, toilet paper.
jordan holmes
Pinhole cameras?
That's kind of perverted.
unidentified
Wells.
dan friesen
They made wells.
We didn't have wells before.
Crazy.
But yes.
unidentified
Where'd you put the water?
You're so delighted by that.
I'm thrilled!
dan friesen
Anyway, I deem that last clip fairly racist.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I'm gonna go with the top five.
dan friesen
I feel like whenever you're like, all of these cultures that literally invented all the stuff we built off of, they contributed, but we're the fucking best.
jordan holmes
Just because Arabia came up with the number zero, thus changing the entire scope of humanity from then on forth, doesn't mean we shouldn't keep them out.
dan friesen
Fair enough.
So, we all love...
Big round of applause if you love...
InfoWars supplements.
unidentified
Bone broth is key.
dan friesen
If you listen to our show, then you know that one of the things that Alex Jones is very wishy-washy about, to an extensive degree, is whether or not super male vitality is a boner pill.
He pretends it's not when he wants to be classy, but then he'll often do a little bit of a wink.
jordan holmes
It's like...
Hey Rob, you take super male vitality, right?
unidentified
Yeah, and my wife gets fucked a lot now.
dan friesen
My wife done told me to stop.
So, I think we can put that debate to bed once and for all with this completely absurd clip.
alex jones
We only promote the very best hardcore, over-the-top stuff.
The quote Mike Judge, Super Metal Vitality is all about energy, stamina, but it's all about...
I mean, it is...
I don't know if people know what that means, but let's just say it's dramatic.
It is dramatic.
It's the real deal.
Stay with us.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
I originally thought he said traumatic, and I was like, that makes perfect sense.
Nailed it.
Traumatic is right.
dan friesen
I have a couple really important thoughts.
The first is...
That's one of them.
That's important.
But the more important part of that is who doesn't get what boy-oy-oy-oy-oy is in reference to?
jordan holmes
I don't know.
The nine-year-olds who listen to a show?
dan friesen
God damn it, if there are any, that's a tragic accident.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's rough.
dan friesen
The other really important piece of this that I do not understand in any way is I have never had an erection that I've been like, thank God, this is dramatic.
I've never been like, my erection lacks drama.
unidentified
*laughter*
dan friesen
So, we have one last clip to listen to here.
jordan holmes
Whether tis nobler in the dick or the mind to suffer the slings and pussies of outrageous misfortune, to sleep, to fuck no more!
unidentified
Oh!
dan friesen
For everyone listening at home, a cascade of roses just hit the stage.
So we've got one more clip, and this is fun.
This is literally the last things that Alex Jones ever said on KLBJ.
alex jones
Global governments hear it's taken over.
Don't ever take for granted hearing this radio show in your area.
dan friesen
Real quick, I do need to stress that at no point in this episode does he say, this is my last episode.
So he's preparing the audience.
jordan holmes
He's giving a farewell episode without ever being like, well, we're never going to be here again.
dan friesen
One thousand percent.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
It's a soft finale.
alex jones
Support those local AM and FM affiliates.
Spread the word about our free podcasts and audio feeds at Infowars.com.
We're going upstream fast, but we're swimming upstream.
We need your prayers and support, and thank you all for your support.
But don't take free open media for granted.
You never know when it might not be there the next time you tuned in.
That's the same way life works.
You gotta make hay while the sun shines.
And there's a battle going on worldwide for what will control the future destiny of the planet.
dan friesen
So, I went to Infowars.com and I found Alex Jones' bio.
I'd like to read you from it.
I went to the website yesterday.
Alex's mainstay is a nationally syndicated talk news show produced from his studio in Austin and broadcast on the Genesis Communications Network based in Minnesota.
The Alex Jones Show airs on over 160 AM FM and shortwave stations across the United States.
There must be a lot of shortwave stations then.
Oh, tons of them, yeah.
And a lot of rivers.
A lot of rivers.
unidentified
Breaker, breaker, one conspiracy.
dan friesen
As well, Alex's show is the largest draw for the talk genre on Shoutcast and the internet.
Alex does a syndicated and nationally broadcast Sunday show on MS Communications, KLBJ 590 AM in Austin, Texas.
It's still in his bio.
unidentified
Wow.
dan friesen
What a bummer.
I went and confirmed, by the way.
jordan holmes
God, he was so sad at the end of that.
dan friesen
I went and confirmed and checked out KLBJ's schedule.
jordan holmes
When is he on today?
dan friesen
He's not.
jordan holmes
Is he not on today?
dan friesen
How about Sunday?
Interestingly, that retirement show is still on.
That retirement show is still getting played.
Also really fun, I found this while looking around, trying to figure out sort of the bottom line about this, and it turns out that the next week, the people at KLBJ were so kind and generous to quote Natalie Merchant that they allowed...
jordan holmes
Wait, were they kind and generous to quote Natalie Merchant, or were they quoting Natalie Merchant to be kind and generous?
dan friesen
They quoted...
jordan holmes
They were like, Natalie Merchant needs us to quote her right now.
dan friesen
This press release is super weird.
They're just saying Alex Jones must be one of God's own creations.
I can't remember the rest of the lyrics, I've got to be honest.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you're fired.
dan friesen
So they allowed him to broadcast a message during the time slot that he was on the week prior.
jordan holmes
Call Larry Nichols!
dan friesen
What he said was, hey folks, Alex Jones here with an important announcement for all the great listeners of my show here on News Radio K90 at KLBJ.
The decision has been made to move the local programming on Saturdays and Sundays.
And even though my show originates out of Austin, it's national news.
Good spin.
So, for the time being, it will no longer be heard on Sunday evenings.
My syndicated broadcast to over 100 affiliates will continue.
I really appreciate my relationship with NewsRadio 590, KLBJ, and the good news is that the infowar continues!
That's not good news.
Syndicated to over 100 stations and via the web, he gives his website.
In five sentences, he had to mention 100 stations multiple times.
jordan holmes
This is like when Phil Hartman died all over again, Dan.
dan friesen
So also I found an article that was posted on the internet by a guy named C.J. Morgan, who is the guy who hosts the weekday 7 p.m. to midnight shift at KLBJ.
He went so far as to post on their website in 2016 the following headline.
jordan holmes
Fuck that guy!
dan friesen
Quote, Alex Jones is a fraud, dangerous, and I'm ashamed we ever had him on this station.
From that article.
I met him at...
Quote.
I met him in person at the station once.
Ran a broadcast in which we interviewed him during South by Southwest, and I would listen to the Freedom Nugget segments on Charlie Hodges' show.
unidentified
Wait, wait.
dan friesen
I don't care.
I don't know what any of that means.
I don't care.
jordan holmes
There's a Freedom Nugget?
Freedom Nugget?
dan friesen
I don't care.
jordan holmes
Freedom Nugget.
dan friesen
It might be Nugent misspelled.
jordan holmes
Freedom Nugent segment?
unidentified
That seems like a segment he would do.
jordan holmes
Nugent is trapped in the wilderness.
dan friesen
That's a good show.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that actually is a good show.
dan friesen
I don't want to read the rest of this quote.
Let's fucking work out the beats!
jordan holmes
Discovery!
Discovery Channel!
unidentified
Come on!
jordan holmes
Naked, Nugent, and Afraid.
unidentified
Done!
Done!
Take it to series!
dan friesen
I don't like the first word.
I really don't.
I do like the idea of Nugent and Afraid.
Like, what would make him afraid?
Oh, not white people.
unidentified
Oh, shit!
dan friesen
So, back to this quote from C.J. Morgan.
He says, quote, He's a nice guy.
Eventually it became too much.
His blatant disregard for any rational truth, the way he capitalized on tragedy, Sandy Hook crisis actors, to profit off his listeners, selling fucking supplements, how he yells and bullies any opposition.
Our encounters with his truly mentally ill followers stopping by the station with their manifestos, needing his help.
In parentheses, he hates his fans, by the way.
It's too much, end quote.
So, I don't know how to wrap this up, but...
jordan holmes
I think he actually just summarized everything we've done our show about for a year and a half.
dan friesen
I will say that, yeah, his quote passes my smell test.
It seems very, very in line with the vibe of this cat that I've gotten.
Overstudying him for a year and a half.
jordan holmes
I think within a paragraph he summarized everything we've ever tried to do.
I think that's what that is.
dan friesen
I will say that I wish, you know, if we had do-overs, I wish I would have spent less time being a dick about how low his ratings were and talked more about that German pea shit.
jordan holmes
I'm interested in that German pea shit.
dan friesen
I would recommend everyone look into it.
There's very serious...
jordan holmes
I really wish I hadn't said that on tape.
I'm interested in that German pea shit.
Now you said it twice.
I don't want that out there.
dan friesen
Everyone out there, if you're listening, make a techno remix of Jordan saying, I'm interested in that German pea shit.
jordan holmes
I'll do like four or five takes if you need one.
dan friesen
So, I mean, this is it.
You know?
jordan holmes
This is it?
dan friesen
Yeah, that's the end of Alex Jones' broadcasting on KLBJ, and that's the end of our clips.
jordan holmes
All right.
I mean, this is still a podcast, right?
dan friesen
This has been really fun.
jordan holmes
So do we do the thing where we tell people to follow us on Twitter?
dan friesen
I suppose we're supposed to.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
We're on Twitter at knowledge underscore fight.
jordan holmes
Facebook.
unidentified
Facebook?
dan friesen
We also have a website, knowledgefight.com.
Everything is great.
jordan holmes
Indeed.
Whose turn is it?
dan friesen
I think it's yours.
No.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
Go home and tell your mother you're beautiful?
That's a weird thing to say.
unidentified
I love it.
Close enough.
jordan holmes
I really love it.
I kind of wish that was what we called it.
dan friesen
If you Google that on Facebook, you'll probably find our group.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's true.
dan friesen
I don't know.
Let's let someone in the audience choose.
unidentified
Oh, shit.
jordan holmes
That's right.
dan friesen
Now, let's do this civilly.
I don't know how to do that.
jordan holmes
I think actually...
Who should...
I don't think anybody...
I don't think anybody in our audience is not civil.
Who feels like somebody needs to go fuck themselves real hard?
Alright, hold on.
dan friesen
Before you answer...
Big round of applause for the comics you saw earlier tonight.
unidentified
Adam Sirwa, J.Y. Cotton, give it up for them.
dan friesen
Everyone at the bar who's been so great.
jordan holmes
Yes, please say it.
dan friesen
Beer land.
jordan holmes
Everybody stick around.
We have an amazing burlesque show coming up for you very shortly.
dan friesen
Preemptive round of applause for them and for yourselves.
Thank you so much for coming out.
Now, someone yell out a person that Jordan will tell to go fuck themselves.
unidentified
Who?
I think there's only one answer.
jordan holmes
We nailed it right there.
dan friesen
Wait, is this person possibly a cross-dressing peeping Tom?
unidentified
The Zodiac Killer.
jordan holmes
The son of the man who murdered JFK.
unidentified
A peeping Tom.
jordan holmes
Ladies and gentlemen, go fuck yourself, Ted Cruz.
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
unidentified
Thanks for holding.
Hello, Alex.
I'm a Christian caller.
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
