Speaker Time Text
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
jordan holmes
I'm a first-time caller.
unidentified
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
alex jones
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple dudes who like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Indeed we are, Dan.
Dan?
dan friesen
Yes, sir.
jordan holmes
What's your favorite pepper?
dan friesen
My favorite pepper is, I mean, right now, habanero is strong in the pepper camp.
I also have a Thai pepper plant that I gathered the other day.
jordan holmes
You gathered?
dan friesen
I bought it from a guy.
jordan holmes
Okay, that's very different from Catherine.
No, I didn't want to say bought it.
unidentified
I halfway thought you were wandering around Chicago and you're like, holy shit!
jordan holmes
It's a Thai pepper plant.
dan friesen
I got me a Thai pepper plant.
I'm terrible with plants though, so I'm probably going to kill it before I'm able to eat the peppers.
jordan holmes
Most likely.
dan friesen
I would probably enjoy some of the slightly hotter than habanero peppers, but I haven't had any.
jordan holmes
You don't want to go...
Too far.
dan friesen
No, I would like to, but I haven't had them.
You can't just get a ghost pepper or, you know, like a scorpion at the grocery store.
You need to special order those.
No, you need to order them from the places that make them, or there needs to be a specialty shop.
jordan holmes
You need a concealed pepper license.
dan friesen
As best I can tell, there isn't one in Chicago.
Like, I don't think that there's a good pepper or good hot sauce store.
Like, when we were in Austin, there was that Tears of Joy.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It was great.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
An amazing selection.
unidentified
It had everything.
dan friesen
But there's nothing like that here, as best I can tell.
But if there is, I would love someone to tell me.
So for now, it's a habanero.
It's great.
It's fruity.
It's spicy, but not spicy enough.
jordan holmes
Wonderful.
dan friesen
Why do you ask?
jordan holmes
I ask because this show is going to be spicy.
And this show has you...
Knowing a lot about Alex Jones.
dan friesen
Much like I know a lot about peppers.
jordan holmes
And me only knowing what you tell me about Alex Jones.
dan friesen
And peppers.
jordan holmes
And peppers.
Because I am not good with peppers.
dan friesen
No, but you did enjoy that sauce that I brought over on the 4th of July.
jordan holmes
Surprisingly.
dan friesen
Yeah, you went back to the well for it.
jordan holmes
I did!
dan friesen
I brought over a ghost pepper sauce that is much too hot for a lot of people.
And you put it straight up on your hot dog.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
It was crazy.
dan friesen
Handle your business.
jordan holmes
It was crazy.
dan friesen
So speaking of crazy, I'd like to give a crazy shout out.
jordan holmes
Not your best transition.
dan friesen
Not the best.
jordan holmes
Not your best one.
dan friesen
But this guy is the best.
jordan holmes
There we go.
That was a way better transition.
unidentified
Thank you.
dan friesen
He's a donor who was existing as a donor and bumped it up.
Took it up to the next level.
So I'd like to say thank you so much.
Kyle, you are now a technocrat.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
roger stone
Four stars.
unidentified
Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant.
pastor david manning
Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop.
alex jones
Daddy Shark.
Bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp.
Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent.
unidentified
He's a loser little titty baby.
alex jones
I don't want to hate black people.
I renounce Jesus Christ.
dan friesen
Thank you so much, Kyle.
We appreciate it very much.
jordan holmes
Thank you so much, Kyle.
dan friesen
If you would like to support the show, you can do so by going to our website, knowledgefight.com, clicking the support the show button.
We appreciate it.
unidentified
Please do.
dan friesen
Now, I need to call myself out about something.
First of all, this is the second time we've tried to record the show, and I'll get into that here in a second.
But that's why this is going to...
It's going to feel really bad me saying this over again while Jordan stares at me, because he's already heard me say this.
jordan holmes
Staring.
dan friesen
I'm terrible at internet.
jordan holmes
Great.
dan friesen
I'm bad at it.
jordan holmes
Full stop.
dan friesen
I'm good at doing this show, but that's about it in terms of the show.
And there's so many other aspects to it that I end up fucking up.
I fuck up and I'm trying to do better, which is my way of saying that I am sorry to people who have written emails and I've not gotten back to them or have gotten back to them late.
I recognize that there are some people who I've just lost their emails and I have not remembered to get a hold of you.
And if you send another email and chastise me for it...
I will own up to that and I will write you back.
jordan holmes
And frankly, it will be a far better way for Dan to engage with you.
If you shit talk us first and then say nice stuff, we'll be...
Great at it.
unidentified
But if you just say nice things to us, we're fucked.
jordan holmes
Yeah, we're fucked!
dan friesen
If it's actual shit-talking, then I'm very scared.
jordan holmes
Oh yeah, no, he's gonna bail.
dan friesen
I'm very terrified.
jordan holmes
He's worried that you're gonna come to his house.
dan friesen
Then the show is over, I cancel this podcast, and I'm like, no, oh my god, someone said something negative.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
That's also one of the remarkable things, I think.
After almost a year and seven months of doing this show, the very limited negative things that we've heard.
It's crazy.
I want to be clear.
No one is making me feel this way.
No one has been like, hey, you're a dick.
You need to write back to people or anything like that.
This is just my insecurities and my recognition that I know I've dropped the ball.
I want to do better and I'm going to do better in the future because you all are listeners.
You deserve it.
And you mean a lot to us.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
I apologize that my own psychological impediments get in the way of keeping up with that end of this.
Because when we started this, I had the same perception that I had of other podcasts I've done in the past, which is almost no one will listen.
There will be a few people who reach out to me, but it won't be that many.
And not to say that we're flooded with emails or anything like that, but it's more people sending messages than I've ever experienced.
And they're messages of substance.
So it's not something where I can just sit there and be like, ha-ha, good one, and then respond.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
You know, so it's growing pains, and I know that I should have done this before this point, considering we're this far into the show.
But I'm going to try and do better, and thank you for putting up with us.
jordan holmes
Yeah, we didn't have the infrastructure in place.
unidentified
Nope.
jordan holmes
We never thought that more than 15 or so people would ever actually listen to this show.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
We thought this would just be an extension of us drinking at a bar and yelling at each other.
jordan holmes
Yeah, we just wanted to hang out.
We didn't hang out regularly.
dan friesen
We didn't realize that aspect, and then we also didn't realize the aspect of, or at least I didn't.
I don't know what your feelings were entirely, but, like, I didn't realize that we would hit as much as we did.
Like, not in terms of being a hit, but, like...
jordan holmes
Yeah, definitely not in terms of people.
dan friesen
We found actually interesting things that I didn't expect to find.
jordan holmes
I thought we were just going to talk about a crazy person!
dan friesen
What happened?
I kind of thought we would...
I mean, I was always hoping we'd find information and truths, but I didn't expect that the show would be anything more than entertainment, for the most part.
And then we'd go along, we're like, oh my god, this means that?
Oh, what the fuck?
jordan holmes
Yeah, it turns out that we have unraveled a level of circum...
Substantial evidence that we would never have considered existed, let alone that we would be the ones to find it.
dan friesen
We'd call ourselves crazy for assuming that at the beginning.
unidentified
Of course, yeah.
jordan holmes
If we'd thought that at the beginning, everybody would have been like, ah, fuck off.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Which, also, I'm going to call myself out if you have not received a button.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
This is a part of my part, too, also.
jordan holmes
I am very good at sending those buttons.
I am not good at making sure those buttons get to where they need to go.
dan friesen
And some of that's the USPS, man.
jordan holmes
No, it's not.
unidentified
Some of it's on the state.
jordan holmes
It's that I am bad at this.
And I need to invest in some sort of envelope.
dan friesen
A stamp machine.
unidentified
Something.
dan friesen
One of those other podcasts have ads for it.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
One of those dot coms.
Don't say their name.
This isn't buzz marketing.
dan friesen
No free rides.
jordan holmes
We're not getting paid for that shit.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
If you are at stamps.com, though, please send us a line.
dan friesen
If you have reached out about getting a button and you have not gotten it, whether or not that's the Postal Service or our fault, please get in touch with us at knowledgefightatgmail.com.
We're going to make everything right.
We're going to do better.
jordan holmes
We're going to work on it.
dan friesen
I don't know why I feel so bad about this this week, but man, I feel bad about it.
Dude, I'm with you.
jordan holmes
In general, insecurity only compounds when people pay attention.
dan friesen
Somewhat, yes.
So, Jordan, today, on the first attempt at doing this episode, I already explained to you what my process has been in terms of like...
I got sidetracked on a bunch of weird sort of dead ends in terms of Alex Jones' investigation.
I have some stuff from 2009 that we're going to get to.
I ran out of time today in terms of presenting an episode, and so I forced it, and I made a bunch of bad clips about Tucker Carlson.
jordan holmes
Yeah, we pretty much nailed that episode in like 30 minutes.
unidentified
But then we continued going, and we were both like, I think we nailed it in five.
jordan holmes
Yeah, probably.
dan friesen
The whole crux of it is, in 2012, Tucker Carlson was very clear that he hated Alex Jones, and then he was on Alex's show in 2014.
And now, in present day, Alex Jones says this.
alex jones
100% pure Veritas.
It's a hole-in-one.
I've never done anything like that.
Tucker Carlson's the king now.
dan friesen
So you have this transformation over time, and it follows the path of Tucker's career and the fact that in 2012...
Obama had not won re-election yet, and in 2014, he was president, and they had two more years to deal with it.
They're like, might as well make peace.
jordan holmes
Might as well start being white nationalists.
dan friesen
But as we went through the episode, it became clear that all the stuff he's saying really isn't all that interesting.
It's just us being able to be like, ha-ha, look, hypocrite, wait, wait, wait.
jordan holmes
All of the stuff that Trump is, they said about Obama as being a negative, and now that Trump is doing it, they're like...
This is the greatest!
It's the same shit that we see over and over and over again.
These people have no bottom.
dan friesen
Actually, I think this is probably the first time I've ever done this.
In the middle of the episode, I was like...
Fuck this.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I don't think we've ever done that before.
dan friesen
Because we've made...
I think once we redid something after like three minutes, like we stopped because just the vibe was off.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like our intro sucked or something like that.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
I think once in the whole time we've done this.
But I've never...
jordan holmes
Which maybe suggests our quality control level isn't that high.
dan friesen
I'd like to have that conversation about my shitty editing skills and all that.
But I stand by my decision.
I think it was worthless as an episode.
But fine as a point.
jordan holmes
I agree in a way that is not negative towards you.
dan friesen
Sure, I appreciate it.
So I've gotten a couple messages from people in the past that liked something that we did on our, I would say, third...
Fourth episode, maybe?
Way in the past.
And we were saying we were going to keep doing it, and we never did it again.
jordan holmes
No, of course not.
dan friesen
Because we accidentally...
So what it is is InfoWars Roulette.
jordan holmes
Uh-oh.
Oh, no.
dan friesen
So this game is...
I don't know what we're going to listen to.
You don't know what we're going to listen to.
jordan holmes
I definitely don't know what we're going to listen to.
You're the one who Googled it.
I don't even know the title of it.
dan friesen
We're going to choose a random video from the Alex Jones channel and listen to it.
See what we feel about it.
See if it sparks anything, like as if this was a goddamn ass cat.
And this clip is doing the monologues.
jordan holmes
We're going to do five minutes of improv based on their shitty stand-up.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
Essentially, that's what it is.
I think the reason we never did it again is because the first time we ended up accidentally getting a David Knight clip.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah, that's why.
That's why.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
But for all of you who have ever wanted us to do InfoWars Roulette again...
Congratulations, we are doing it.
The only thing I see here, the reason that I was scanning through and this caught my eyes, is because it says socialist in the title, and I know that that probably means Alex is going to scream a bunch, because he hates them socialists.
jordan holmes
What's the title of it?
dan friesen
Well, I don't have the whole title here, because it cuts off.
I'm playing this from my phone, but it says socialist beauty queen, and there's a picture.
Of Alexandria.
jordan holmes
Oh, no!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Okay, let's do it.
dan friesen
So, here we go.
This is probably going to be very offensive and probably going to make Jordan very mad.
Let's enjoy.
It says the silent majority has a voice.
So they have a new graphic that plays at the front, just to give a little context.
And the full title, now that I've expanded the video, is Socialist Beauty Queen Channels Miss South Carolina.
Which, if you recall, Miss South Carolina.
jordan holmes
I do recall.
That was what I thought it was going to be about before you said it was about Alexandria.
I was like, I remember there being a, like, some pageant, like Miss America, where finally some woman was like, hey, fuck the patriarchy.
dan friesen
No, no, no.
Miss South Carolina was the one who stammered on stage and was like, I believe education should therewithal be...
Like, just used random words that didn't connect in a sentence.
It was one of those memes that went all over the place about, like, just a pageant winner.
Very clear, like, saying words.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
For sure.
Good for her.
But the thoughts didn't connect.
It was clearly like a coaching of someone to, like, I don't understand what I'm talking about, but...
I think this is going to make me sound smart.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It was a thing.
So, Alex, I can tell already, regardless of who the anchor is here, they're going to try and connect her with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
unidentified
No, there's a new face to socialism.
Damn it!
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
dan friesen
It's David Knight again!
jordan holmes
Damn it!
God, he is boring.
He just said her name in the most boring way.
He just said her name boringly.
Next clip.
Next clip.
dan friesen
There aren't clips.
This is just the full thing.
jordan holmes
I don't care.
Next one.
dan friesen
All right.
jordan holmes
Just the very next one.
unidentified
Or Ocasio-Communista.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
I mean next video.
unidentified
Oh, no.
jordan holmes
We're not doing this.
dan friesen
This is the roulette game.
david knight
As I said, reported on Infowars.com.
unidentified
She's called for occupation of airports, of ICE offices, of the border.
We have to occupy all of it.
We need to occupy every airport, every border.
We need to occupy every ICE office until those kids are back with their parents.
jordan holmes
Goddammit, you're making her point!
dan friesen
Doesn't sound all that crazy.
unidentified
...to occupy America with foreign citizens.
jordan holmes
Wait, wait, there we go.
unidentified
...open border.
They won't say it.
david knight
They'll endanger children.
dan friesen
You know what?
A lot of them...
unidentified
What?
dan friesen
It's a weird rationale there, but also a lot of folks on the left-left do say, we don't want borders.
jordan holmes
I think I've literally called for that in the past.
dan friesen
I think a lot of people are now much more comfortable saying it.
Yeah.
And being clear about that, like, no, the idea of a border is a militarized zone that implies violence.
jordan holmes
Yeah, explain to me why we have borders again.
Take your time.
I imagine that it was smart to have borders when the American military was invading Mexico.
It was really a good idea for them to make sure that there was a clear border so we didn't, like, we took Texas and they were like, okay, get out of here.
And now we all regret that decision.
We would prefer to give Texas back.
Just because that would be hilarious for all the Texan citizens to suddenly be Mexicans.
That would be the best thing.
Oh my god, can we do that?
dan friesen
Then Alex Jones would be Mexican propaganda.
jordan holmes
Oh god, that would be great!
dan friesen
Do you think he'd turn nationalist for them?
jordan holmes
I hope so!
dan friesen
I mean, he'd have to.
jordan holmes
That would be the best thing ever!
dan friesen
By definition, he'd have to.
Or he'd have to repatriate to Louisiana.
jordan holmes
Vote Jordan!
In 20...
What would it be?
dan friesen
18?
You've got a lot of work to do real quick.
unidentified
No, no, no.
jordan holmes
Because I have to be 35 to become president.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah.
jordan holmes
So I'm 31 now.
So 2024.
Vote Jordan in 2024.
My only platform is we're going to give Texas back to Mexico.
dan friesen
You're like the Bob Dylan of Texas being part of Mexico.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
His great quote about, like, people say that I own the 60s.
I don't want them.
You want them?
You would just be like, people say we own Texas.
I don't want it.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
You want it?
They can have it.
Mexico?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Come on, Mexico.
dan friesen
Have that.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's a buffet.
jordan holmes
Why wouldn't we give it back to them?
Like, we stole it!
Hey, remember the Alamo as a colonialist bullshit line.
dan friesen
It'd be really funny, too, for the legacy that Alex Jones tries to tell about Colonel Travis if it was all just back to Mexico.
jordan holmes
So good.
Let's give it back.
dan friesen
Back to David Knight.
unidentified
In order to get what they want, they won't tell them to stay home.
It's a very dangerous situation across the border, regardless of whether you have the...
Ice or not.
david knight
It's a very dangerous situation.
We had border patrol agents who have saved people who are crossing the border.
They couldn't call on the Mexican government that actually had to have the border patrol in America.
jordan holmes
Who listens to this shit?
david knight
She's going to continue with that.
She's going to continue to endanger children just as they do at the schools.
They don't want to have any security method.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
She lives in the Bronx!
dan friesen
This is so boring.
jordan holmes
How is it that she could personally make the borders open?
dan friesen
I don't know.
unidentified
I think she's just trying to fix the Bronx first, to be honest.
dan friesen
This is terrifyingly boring.
jordan holmes
This is amazing.
Who listens to this?
dan friesen
Well, that's why it's only on, like, two stations in the country.
The real news, David Knight.
jordan holmes
I know, but who, like, even the, how many viewers, how many views does this clip have?
dan friesen
I was just about to check that.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
9,000.
Not great.
Not great for your InfoWars empire that's got hundreds of millions of listeners.
jordan holmes
I feel like if we bought a Facebook ad, we could probably get to 9,000.
Jesus.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Okay, so I'm going to switch up.
I scrolled down.
I don't want to listen to any more of that.
jordan holmes
Yeah, our InfoWars roulette is going to be just like the start of a shit ton of clips.
dan friesen
Maybe.
Until we find that's not David.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
God, David Knight is boring.
I think it's the pauses.
Like, Alex has a manic energy about him where he pauses and you're like, whoa, I didn't even know that this was going to happen.
That signifies something real.
dan friesen
I've scrolled through, and I'll give you two options.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
One is a complete mystery.
I don't know who's hosting it, but the title of it is, Why is Robert Mueller targeting Roger Stone?
Which we know the answer to.
jordan holmes
Oh, we all know the answer to that.
dan friesen
So that's one.
It could be anybody.
It could be Schroyer.
It could be Stone.
It could be Stone himself.
unidentified
That'd be great.
dan friesen
It could be anybody.
jordan holmes
Stone.
Why is Mueller targeting me?
unidentified
Uh, ooh, cause I did it!
dan friesen
Or, one we know is Bearded Alex, sitting in the makeshift secondary studio, which means he's probably drunk.
Two titles that are possible, so there's three options.
One, grab bag, why is he targeting Roger Stone?
Two, what the fuck, Congress?
That's the title.
Or three, this is also Alex.
Alex Jones, epic reaction.
I have no idea what the reaction is to.
Oh, okay.
I can't tell unless I click on the video.
jordan holmes
All right.
I don't...
That's mystery box.
And if there's anything I know from watching game shows on Nick at Night when I was five...
Don't choose mystery box.
dan friesen
You don't want to choose the epic reaction?
jordan holmes
Terrible idea.
Never choose mystery box.
dan friesen
But the mystery box is even further with who knows who the host is for the stone clip.
Yeah, but here's the thing.
jordan holmes
Alex says, or at least whomever is doing it, says it's an epic reaction, which only sets us up for disappointment.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
jordan holmes
All right?
Now, we know...
dan friesen
But we don't know what it's a reaction to.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but we don't need to.
dan friesen
Not really.
jordan holmes
It's probably some bullshit.
Yeah.
So now we've got our...
dan friesen
What the fuck, Congress?
jordan holmes
What the fuck, Congress?
dan friesen
With Alex.
Or...
Mystery host, why is Mueller targeting Roger Stone?
jordan holmes
I want Roger Stone in this, because I delight in Roger Stone.
Just his flair, his eventual fall into prison, or running away?
dan friesen
You gotta assume he's probably not on the clip.
He's probably smart enough to steer clear of the Roger Stone defending clips on Alex Jones' show.
jordan holmes
Alright, then we gotta go with, what the fuck, Mueller?
dan friesen
Congress.
jordan holmes
Or Congress.
unidentified
Alex Jones obviously is a well-known conspiracy theorist whose brand is bullying.
brian stelter
Alex Jones is going to hear this.
He's going to say, why is CNN out to get me?
dan friesen
This is Brian Stelter.
brian stelter
Why are you trying to take me down?
unidentified
And in the weeks after the shooting, Alex Jones'YouTube channel posted a video that was seen by 2.3 million subscribers, alleging that these were merely actors and not real students who had experienced the most horrific thing anyone could possibly imagine.
What's happened with InfoWars?
jordan holmes
Because they've made a cottage industry out of this.
unidentified
What they do is they deny that these events have happened.
jamie raskin
Why are they still on Facebook?
dan friesen
I don't like this already.
jordan holmes
That's a bad opening.
dan friesen
I'm going to agree with Alex.
I'm going to end up agreeing with him.
And I'm fine with that, but I don't like being in this place.
jordan holmes
How long is the clip?
dan friesen
Nine minutes.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Scroll ahead to four and a half.
Let's just really...
dan friesen
Like it's a fish song trying to find the jam?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
No context whatsoever.
I don't want to know what he's talking about.
I want to start in the middle, and then we're just going to try and reverse engineer it.
dan friesen
This is from 4 minutes, 20 seconds.
alex jones
Okay, nice.
unidentified
Hold on, pause it real quick!
jordan holmes
It does not matter when you would have pressed play.
We would have immediately heard a plug.
Immediately.
alex jones
Yeah.
That's why you're pissed.
So she knows this all full well.
It's a huge controversy.
So she says, oh, we took down...
She re-defames me, says it, and then continues.
Here we go.
unidentified
Alex Jones posted the video you described saying that the survivors of the Parkland massacre were crisis actors.
That violated our harassment policy.
alex jones
They just opened themselves up to defamation.
I know she thinks she's in a congressional hearing and can do it.
I don't even want to sue these people.
Lady, you know who I am.
You're obsessed with me.
We have Project Veritas internal videos.
unidentified
Ha, ha, ha.
*laughs*
So she says.
jordan holmes
That violates our harassment policies.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Which is not an act of aggression at all.
That's like getting an email that says, you have violated the terms and conditions of working on blah, or whatever.
dan friesen
But from the time of the Parkland shooting, granted, we didn't want to talk about the immediate aftermath, because that was way too rough.
But even in the couple days after, he was still going on these tirades about...
David Hogg clearly wasn't at the school based on very, very intentionally misrepresenting the timeline and stuff like that.
So, I mean, the argument that he was harassing people is absolutely...
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
dan friesen
It's fair game.
jordan holmes
He violated their harassment policy.
dan friesen
I don't know if that...
jordan holmes
Which explains why he really doesn't want to sue these people.
Because their rights?
alex jones
Because I'm the guy that won't sell out.
dan friesen
Oh, that's why.
alex jones
I'm the guy that stands up against the psychopaths.
You're all just the scared leftists that got controlled by them.
Because you're a bunch of Stockholm Syndrome people.
So you just defame me again.
jordan holmes
Re-defame.
alex jones
Alex Jones posted it and we took it down.
No, I didn't.
And you know that.
Don't go back to it.
unidentified
That says if you say a well-documented violent attack.
alex jones
Back it up to the beginning of her.
Back it up to 20 seconds.
I'm stopping too much.
Classic.
unidentified
Every last thing they say is pretty great.
alex jones
I did not put a video up.
You will not show it.
You will not show the text because you are a fraud.
unidentified
Fraud.
And she knows fully.
alex jones
And I want to make sure you don't hear it.
Thousands of articles.
Crap on them when they had to put it back up because their lawyers told them he's got 14 million views on the video countering you on his own server.
He's got his own platform.
We aren't going to be able to take him down today.
Stop it.
He's got us.
jordan holmes
Okay, pause.
unidentified
I've got your internal people recorded from Project Veritas.
jordan holmes
So if I understand correctly, their lawyers came to them not with a legal argument, but instead a, dude.
He's got 14 million people.
You don't want to go up against that.
dan friesen
That's a lot of people.
jordan holmes
That's tons!
And look, if you go by what he claims, which he usually does, billions, instead, this time he said the accurate number, which is at best 14 million people.
dan friesen
I'm bored of this one already, and when I said I agree with him, I should clarify that.
I don't think that he should be...
I think we've already gone over this a little bit.
I don't think he should be kicked off Facebook.
jordan holmes
You reacted to the kicked off Facebook part instead of the...
dan friesen
Right, but that's clearly what they were talking about at the beginning of the clip.
unidentified
It was?
dan friesen
And I believe that that was a lady from Facebook.
jordan holmes
Oh, that was a lady from Facebook.
dan friesen
I think so.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
That was my understanding of the clip.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Wait, isn't this one titled, What the Fuck, Congress?
dan friesen
Yeah, but it turns out when you expand the clip, it says...
What the fuck, Congress trying to get Infowars kicked off Facebook.
jordan holmes
That's a rough one.
dan friesen
It's hidden in the capabilities of my cell phone.
jordan holmes
I'm actually liking this.
I'm liking the roulette in a way where we just play random ass clips.
We don't have a through line at all.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
No, I'm loving it.
dan friesen
Alright, so let's go to his epic reaction.
jordan holmes
You hate it.
dan friesen
No, I don't hate it, but I do want to know what...
jordan holmes
You're going with the epic reaction?
dan friesen
I want to know what his epic reaction is, too.
jordan holmes
This is why you would lose on every game show.
brian stelter
Did you hear about the Democrats launching a civil war on July 4th?
jordan holmes
Yes!
brian stelter
No?
Must have missed it?
InfoWars hoaxer Alex Jones claimed it was going to happen.
He claimed there was going to be a new civil war on July 4th.
It's just the latest example of an InfoWars hoax.
A story that was totally made up.
And designed to deceive people.
alex jones
I already covered it, but at the end of this, I'll show you a bunch of articles where USA Today says we're in a civil war.
I didn't say it was USA Today.
All these tweets out of Northern and Southern fighting.
I said they're calling it a civil war.
It's an asymmetrical war.
They're gearing up the intimidation, the physical attacks, overthrow the president.
It's all admitted.
jordan holmes
I know you are, but what am I?
alex jones
He makes the big joke that I said it would all be over July 4th.
No, I said it begins July 4th, and I've been proven right.
Continue.
Hillary had a 97% chance of winning.
Debates weren't rigged.
It was all rigged.
These are the people that, on record, the Democrats hate America.
They're trying to stop our economy.
jordan holmes
On record.
alex jones
Bill Maher says they want to kill the economy to stop Trump.
jordan holmes
Bill Maher!
He's on the left, right?
alex jones
This is CNN saying that I'm a hoaxer and then misrepresenting when I've got a stack of news today saying I'm going to kill Trump, overthrow Trump, and want civil war.
dan friesen
Let's see that stack, baby.
alex jones
Back it up to start.
I'm going to stop right now.
Just start it over.
Start the whole thing.
dan friesen
Classic Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Before they get to anything of substance, start it over.
alex jones
Notice it says reliable sources.
This is the key.
unidentified
I'm going to stop.
alex jones
He never...
Vegas is probably betting on all the interrupting him.
unidentified
Wait!
Did he just say Vegas is betting he'll interrupt it here?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Holy shit!
Can we make that bet?
dan friesen
That's amazing.
jordan holmes
What's the over-under for how long he makes it before the first pause in his clip?
dan friesen
See, I just paused it to be like, what...
Distracted him that time.
Immediately.
As I paused to be like, Vegas is going to bet on my distraction.
That's good comedy.
Alex, you're doing good.
jordan holmes
Solid.
dan friesen
But what he got distracted by and was like, pause it, pause it.
One second into the clip was the name of the show, Reliable Sources with Brian Stelter.
But he knows that's the name of the show.
It's not like he's surprised by that.
He's like, oh, I got a bit for this.
jordan holmes
First time he's ever heard of it.
dan friesen
I got a bit.
jordan holmes
First time he's ever heard of it.
dan friesen
I got a bit.
It's like being on a fucking man-cow.
You get set up for a bit.
Reliable sources, I got something on this.
I got something on this.
jordan holmes
How about if I'm shittier on this show?
dan friesen
Let's see if he keeps talking about Vegas odds.
jordan holmes
Let's do it.
alex jones
You know what the smart money is.
dan friesen
Yes, you are going to.
alex jones
Say something, Zimmerman?
unidentified
I think we made it about two seconds in that time.
That was good.
alex jones
You know the big enchilada.
dan friesen
Oh, we've got his face behind me.
unidentified
That's just the eyes poking up.
jordan holmes
Who is that guy?
alex jones
He never, he never, he never, listen to this.
He never shows me saying the Civil War.
He doesn't show a video.
He doesn't, when we talk about Brian Stelter, we show you what he said.
When I say Bloomberg came out and admitted that the fake- You say what?
jordan holmes
Bloomberg!
alex jones
Bloomberg!
Or Sandy Hook were fake and they had to take him down.
See, I show you, and our articles show you every claim we make as a link.
But notice, he doesn't show you- That's not true at all.
Us saying that the Civil War would kill everybody.
As I said, I'm not saying it'll be a shooting war.
I'm saying it's a demarcation line of them accelerating their attack and they call it a Civil War.
dan friesen
This is such bullshit because we're doing Jade Helm already over again.
He's like, I didn't say that Jade Helm was going to be a takeover of states.
I said that this is practice for a takeover of states.
Well, there you go.
That sort of thing.
He's just doing the same thing.
I stirred up the fear that is...
Parallel to and commensurate with an actual takeover of the states.
jordan holmes
Right, but I didn't say it.
dan friesen
You can't pin me on saying that this is what's going to happen.
jordan holmes
Heavily, heavily implied.
Didn't say it.
dan friesen
I very much said stuff about the Civil War coming, and I did tweet about it a bunch, and I made a bunch of videos.
jordan holmes
Nobody can prove it, though.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Brian Seltzer didn't, what, did he play the clip of me saying it?
Did he quote any of my tweets?
dan friesen
I bet he did.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he almost certainly did.
What kind of idiot with a show called Reliable Sources wouldn't play the clip?
dan friesen
But one of the things that we have to wrestle with, too, is that, like, we have unlimited time in terms of our show.
People on CNN don't.
So, like, we can take a clip that Alex Jones says, like, X, Y, and Z, and we can listen to X and then talk about it for ten minutes if we need to.
Whereas they have sponsors.
They have commercials they've got to go to.
They've got...
You can't do your whole show on Alex, so if they do a little segment on him, obviously they're not going to play all the clips.
jordan holmes
Oh my god, do we know anybody who could get us...
Like, okay, we do have unlimited time.
In theory.
Remember the Megyn Kelly interview when Alex was so terrified and they didn't do the thing?
What if we got a hold of the raw video?
Is there a way for us to do that?
Can we find it?
Do we know anybody?
What network was that on?
dan friesen
Wait, I know Megyn Kelly.
It was on NBC.
I don't know anybody.
I don't know anybody in any circles.
But also I think there would probably be real serious disclosure laws in place.
I think it would probably be a crime for them to give it to us.
jordan holmes
We know people at least who write for SNL.
They're on NBC.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's true.
That's not the in we need.
jordan holmes
No, I think that's the in we need.
Look, what is more high profile at NBC than just some random writer for SNL walking in and being like, hey, can I get the raw footage of that Megyn Kelly Alex Jones video?
dan friesen
Look, I know they were recording for like six hours.
I need it all.
jordan holmes
I need it all.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Do you got a thumb drive?
Do they still use Betamax tapes?
dan friesen
That's one of those rare moments where Alex really showed ass.
And that's why it would be interesting to know exactly what happened in the interview.
Because the interview itself wasn't really...
unidentified
Garbage.
dan friesen
It was absolutely garbage.
jordan holmes
No, she was shitty at it.
dan friesen
Shall we go back to this?
I think we should for a minute and then find something else.
alex jones
So they went, oh my god, he's on to us.
Full page ads, New York Times calling for overthrow of Trump, Civil War.
Rob Reiner saying we're in a Civil War.
dan friesen
Oh, Rob Reiner.
alex jones
This is the battle of the Civil War.
dan friesen
The leader of the left, Rob Reiner.
alex jones
I prefer Carl Reiner.
Meathead.
And Uber drivers throw people out and all the rest of it.
jordan holmes
He's a great director, though.
You can't argue that.
brian stelter
Any obligation to stop Infowars in its tracks.
You know, these companies say they are working hard every day to stop the spread of misinformation.
unidentified
Yes.
brian stelter
And they say they want to help people find reliable sources.
Here you go.
One day this week, I was at a press event at YouTube all about this.
And the next day, CNN's Oliver Darcy was at a Facebook event about this.
So he asked this simple question.
How can Facebook be serious about fighting misinformation and still let Infowars have a page with nearly one million followers?
jordan holmes
Okay, pause it.
alex jones
We have 15 Facebook pages.
dan friesen
Okay, that's a problem.
jordan holmes
There you go.
dan friesen
You have 15 Facebook pages.
alex jones
Hold on.
jordan holmes
Now you got it.
You have just made the wrong argument.
unidentified
When he said 15, I thought he was going to say we have 15 million followers.
jordan holmes
No, he said we have 15 pages.
See, now your argument is moot, alright?
Maybe we don't want Facebook to take off the InfoWars page.
unidentified
Maybe we'll want Facebook to take off 14 InfoWars pages.
dan friesen
Maybe.
I don't know, man.
I still think it's the responsibility of the viewer.
I still think that.
Because I think it's going to be impossible.
Whatever guidelines could help with this, whatever rules could help, are going to be stymied by just implementation logistics.
Like, it's almost impossible.
jordan holmes
No.
The most narrow of standards is what you're saying directly parallel to Nazis.
It's so simple.
It's really, really simple.
I feel like, again, the Constitution was so dead on, except there should have been dot, dot, dot, no Nazis.
dan friesen
They weren't around when it was written.
But also, I think that the problem with that...
jordan holmes
I think the problem is they've always been around.
dan friesen
But the problem with your rule, it sounds good.
jordan holmes
It sounds good.
dan friesen
But at the same time, it comes down to interpretation.
There's going to be way too much, like, how do you actually enforce that sort of rule?
jordan holmes
Again, really, really narrow.
dan friesen
What sounds like Nazis to you might not sound like Nazis to all.
unidentified
Uh-uh, uh-uh.
jordan holmes
Grab a shit ton of Goebbels propaganda.
Remove proper nouns.
If you're fitting in different proper nouns, you're Nazis.
dan friesen
You just like the same adjectives?
jordan holmes
Yeah!
dan friesen
You're going to Mad Libs Gerbils?
jordan holmes
Exactly!
dan friesen
You're crazy.
jordan holmes
That is Nazis.
You're crazy.
That is Nazis.
dan friesen
You're nuts.
jordan holmes
If you're Mad Libs Gerbils, you're out!
unidentified
Look, on principle, I agree with you.
dan friesen
I would love if that happened.
jordan holmes
No, it could absolutely be abused in a negative way.
I get it.
dan friesen
But I don't even think abused.
I think just the structural inability to deal with...
The millions of posts that happen across, apparently, InfoWars has 15 channels, or 15 pages.
Who knows how many pages other outlets have?
Like, how many pages Breitbart has?
unidentified
Keywords.
dan friesen
You're gonna run into trouble.
It's not gonna work.
jordan holmes
I get it.
I get it.
dan friesen
You want it to work.
It's not gonna work.
unidentified
I get it.
jordan holmes
But on the other hand, your argument for people should be responsible for their own media consumption has clearly failed because people are not responsible for it and they don't do a good job at it.
Human beings are shitty at it.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Or at least most of us.
dan friesen
And a lot of people exploit the specific shitty parts in order to further their own causes.
Sure.
It's, I would say, an almost unsolvable problem unless we walk away.
jordan holmes
Mad Libs Gerbils.
dan friesen
Walk away.
jordan holmes
Mad Libs Gerbils.
dan friesen
This is one of the reasons why I'm really terrible at social media is because I sit around and I could exploit various hot topics of the day.
Could you?
Like, oh, Alex says this about this.
jordan holmes
You think so?
dan friesen
And maybe cheat some retweets and stuff like that.
But I don't want to be a part of that.
I don't want to possibly – social media is so dangerous to me and so weird that I restrain myself from doing it out of fear that I might be misleading someone somewhere.
jordan holmes
Which, again, is why we're losing.
dan friesen
Totally.
But I also think we should all lose, and we should all walk away.
But then the issue becomes, how does anything exist without social media nowadays?
jordan holmes
Consider this.
Get rid of Texas.
dan friesen
Interesting.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Back to Mexico.
jordan holmes
Social media, fine from here on out.
dan friesen
All right.
jordan holmes
That's my...
I got two solutions.
One, dot, dot, dot, no Nazis.
Two, Texas is yours now.
dan friesen
Goebbels, Mad Libs.
jordan holmes
Goebbels, Mad Libs.
dan friesen
Social media, blackout in Texas.
jordan holmes
Blackout in Texas.
Problem solved.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
So, I mean, I think the epic reaction was the, start it over.
I think that might be.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's our best epic reaction.
dan friesen
That might have been what they were teasing.
Whatever he ended up doing was probably just another weird, hateful screed about Brian Stelter.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Who cares?
Let's move along.
And just because I did that, I went to the one of that trio of options that I wanted to go to.
Now I'm going to do you the service of, let's listen to a little bit of this about Roger Stone.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Your dear friend.
jordan holmes
All right, here we go.
dan friesen
Holy shit, it is Roger.
jordan holmes
Yes!
dan friesen
It's loading slow, but...
jordan holmes
God damn it!
roger stone
This is just the beginning of an epic clash, ladies and gentlemen.
But anyone who read the indictment laid out last week by Mr. Rosenstein needs to be reminded, as I was forced to remind Chris Cuomo the other night on CNN...
jordan holmes
Where you got roundly being...
roger stone
Is an unproven accusation by the government.
unidentified
Fair.
roger stone
It is not an undisputed fact.
jordan holmes
I have purchased airfare already for when it comes for me.
dan friesen
This is thin.
This is nothing.
I can't believe it's Roger.
jordan holmes
This is crazy.
This is fantastic.
dan friesen
See?
jordan holmes
Now this is why you don't buy the mystery box, Dan.
dan friesen
I can't believe that the title of the clip is Why Robert Mueller is Targeting Roger Stone.
jordan holmes
And it's Roger Stone.
dan friesen
It's Roger Stone in a gray-white suit standing in front of an InfoWars green screen.
unidentified
Love it.
dan friesen
This is crazy.
jordan holmes
I'm loving it.
roger stone
You can say Guccifer 2.0 is a Russian asset as many times as you want to say it.
That does not make it a fact certified in a court of law.
jordan holmes
No, but there are a lot of other things that do make it a fact.
dan friesen
Infowars graphic.
unidentified
Hi, this is former mayor and the greatest mayor, Mr. 9-11-1.
Rudy Giuliani.
And you're listening to Roger Stone on Infowars.
roger stone
What?
unidentified
And there you...
jordan holmes
Wait, what?
What?
unidentified
Hold on.
Wait, wait, wait.
jordan holmes
There's a guy impersonating Rudy Giuliani?
dan friesen
I think that was actually Rudy Giuliani.
jordan holmes
That was not Rudy Giuliani.
dan friesen
I would believe it is, but it's probably someone impersonating.
jordan holmes
No, it is a...
That wasn't even a good Rudy Giuliani.
dan friesen
I feel like I gotta go back a time.
jordan holmes
No way.
dan friesen
I gotta look into this again.
jordan holmes
No way.
unidentified
Hi, this is former mayor and the greatest mayor.
dan friesen
Yeah, you're right.
unidentified
You're right.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no, no.
That's an impersonator.
unidentified
If you're listening to Roger Stone on Infowars...
Which...
Which...
Hold on.
roger stone
And there you have...
jordan holmes
Hold on.
roger stone
Before you go any further.
lawyer, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who I think has done a superb job.
dan friesen
That's actually Rudy Giuliani.
roger stone
Wait!
jordan holmes
That is not actually Rudy Giuliani!
dan friesen
I don't think that there's any way that Roger Stone would sit there with a straight face and say this is one of Trump's most effective lawyers.
He would laugh about it and be like, look at Rudy saying good things about me.
jordan holmes
I'm going to go with Ratatoskr, my friend, the rat-faced god of chaos in the Norwegian pantheon.
dan friesen
Look.
jordan holmes
Brings about the end times.
I don't know my Norwegian religious setting.
dan friesen
I 100% bought it.
jordan holmes
I feel like Ratatoskr exists.
No idea what he does.
dan friesen
Okay, well, let's say he's a rat-faced chaos guy.
jordan holmes
There we go.
Now, here's a better question to respond to that with.
Why wouldn't he, though?
He's Roger Stone.
This is a man who fucking balls to the walls it.
dan friesen
Because I think that he would look like a rube if he was pretending it was actually Rudy Giuliani when it wasn't.
jordan holmes
You would look like a rube for believing that he actually believes that it's Rudy Giuliani.
dan friesen
I'm so confused.
I'm so confused.
jordan holmes
And that is why Roger Stone is fucking good at what he does.
dan friesen
I'm so confused about this for a number of reasons.
jordan holmes
It does not sound like Rudy Giuliani.
dan friesen
It doesn't sound a lot like him, but it sounds enough like him that I'm willing to entertain it.
The second thing is that Alex has hated Rudy Giuliani for years because of his 9-11 stuff.
Even in 2009, all the episodes that I'm listening to, they play a commercial on every episode.
Multiple times for a 9-11 documentary that I believe Jason Burmus might have made or someone InfoWars adjacent.
And it ends with a clip of Rudy Giuliani saying, if you're not with us...
You're with the terrorists.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So it's the punchline of their 9-11 conspiracy commercial.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Their documentary commercial.
So the idea that now, in present day...
I'm so confused!
jordan holmes
But we haven't watched the show.
Maybe he's explicated this in the past.
Like, maybe this is something that is a joke from way back.
unidentified
Because there's no way...
jordan holmes
Maybe it's Frank Caliendo.
I kind of think it's Frank Caliendo.
dan friesen
Alt-right Frank Caliendo.
jordan holmes
I'm going to go with alt-right Frank Caliendo.
dan friesen
It's Gavin McGinnis trying out his impression act.
jordan holmes
Rich Little does 1,001 voices, Dan.
One of those is...
I just can't believe that Rudy Giuliani recorded a voiceover where he says, I'm the former mayor, the greatest mayor of New York.
dan friesen
I believe that.
That part is the part I believe 100%.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
Fair enough.
dan friesen
What makes it hard to believe is that you're listening to Roger Stone on InfoWars.
unidentified
That's true.
jordan holmes
Why would he do that?
dan friesen
It would be easy enough to get, though, you could just get that through a voice message or something like that on your phone.
That's true.
It's not like he has to come into studio and be like, alright, level's good, sibilance, sibilance, or anything like that.
He could just do that with an iPhone.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So it would take zero effort.
All it would take is Roger being that fucking, like, let's juice this.
jordan holmes
What if it was actually Roger Stone doing the voice himself?
God, what if it turns out he's a good impressionist?
unidentified
Now that introduces a new crazy Pandora's box.
jordan holmes
Roger Stone is a brilliant impressionist.
All of these voices.
Roger Stone might be Alex Jones!
dan friesen
No, he could...
Makeup can't do that.
jordan holmes
Okay, fair enough.
dan friesen
I think it's possible.
jordan holmes
He's wearing a clump.
He's Eddie Murphy in the clumps?
dan friesen
I would believe that he's possibly Owen Schroer, but Alex, no.
Absolutely not.
I don't know, man.
You've introduced some fucked up thoughts to my brain about the idea that he's doing a character.
jordan holmes
What if he's doing voices?
dan friesen
I understand that this is probably the least important part of this clip.
jordan holmes
No, this is the most important part of this clip.
Look, if there's anything that we can take from this clip, it is that Roger knows he's fucked.
And he's really trying to do...
Because he's not doing damage control for his real life.
He's doing damage control for his InfoWars life.
Like, he's going through all of this.
He knows what he's saying is bullshit.
He knows that when he was in that indictment, that meant, because, again, that indictment was fantasy.
Those people are never coming to justice if there is justice.
They're going to stay in Russia.
There's no chance of them actually facing the consequences for their actions.
The point of that indictment is to make sure everybody knows there was an American who acted as an intermediary with these 12 people.
dan friesen
Also, Lee Stranahan, too, came up in that.
It wasn't just about Roger Stone.
jordan holmes
I agree.
dan friesen
Just because Roger Stone foolishly leaked his own messages and then they were word to word, the messages that were in that indictment, I do think that that is a message on some level in the indictment.
But you're right, you're right.
I mean, there is no way this is ever going to actually go to court unless they try them in absentia, which I don't think is going to happen.
Seems like a foolish exercise.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
But at the same time, Roger's whole thing about, like, they can just say whatever they want and don't prove it.
They lay out a lot of facts in that indictment.
There's a lot of very specific information.
Roger, now, since you're a journalist, apparently, on Infowars, now it is your job to take the information in that indictment, the addresses, the servers.
jordan holmes
Address it one by one, point by point.
dan friesen
The boss-employee relationships that are laid out.
All that, if you can find a fault in that, Then you get to critique the information given.
jordan holmes
Let's find out if he finds a fault.
dan friesen
Oh, I bet he does.
jordan holmes
Oh, I bet he does.
roger stone
Of getting the president off of defense and on offense and calling out the criminality of James Comey, Robert Mueller, and the other deep state spooks who operate without any constitutional oversight whatsoever, answering only to the traitor, Rod Rosenstein.
Mr. Rosenstein is the man who signed the unconstitutional FISA warrant that was used to spy on the Trump campaign.
jordan holmes
All right.
I am wondering right now if he has addressed Any of the real accusations against him, right?
dan friesen
So far, no.
jordan holmes
He's only said...
The only thing that he's actually said is...
dan friesen
This is Trump in Helsinki talking about the server.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
The only thing he said is that Guccifer 2.0, you can't prove is a Russian agent, even though that's absolutely been proven, like, scientifically, using...
dan friesen
Well, I mean, sure, not in the court of law, but the preponderance of evidence is certainly public now.
jordan holmes
Well, and it wasn't even a preponderance of evidence.
It was actually really, really well hidden until the guy who was running the account one time didn't log into the VPN.
And all of a sudden, now we have a direct one-to-one connection, and that's incontrovertible.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
That's incontrovertible.
dan friesen
But what about the servers?
Well, yeah.
jordan holmes
No, I get it, but he's...
You know what?
And I would never...
This is a surprising thing for me to say.
I think Roger Stone might be obfuscating.
dan friesen
Oh, you don't say.
roger stone
That is a crime for which Mr. Rosenstein must be prosecuted.
This is just the beginning.
dan friesen
Also, they weren't spying on Trump.
That whole thing is bogus.
jordan holmes
Does Roger think you can counter-indict people?
Like in a civil court, you can counter sue.
Oh, you think I'm guilty of a crime?
You're guilty of a crime!
dan friesen
I'm putting the whole thing on trial.
The bullshit is he's not even indicted.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but he's read the writing on the wall.
He's going to be.
dan friesen
No, but this still smells to me like saving face.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, it doesn't seem like someone who's scared.
And I think the reason, again, that I keep saying, I think he's cut a deal.
jordan holmes
He's cut a deal.
dan friesen
Well, let's see if he...
jordan holmes
Okay.
roger stone
...of an epic clash, ladies and gentlemen, but...
Anyone who read the indictment laid out last week by Mr. Rosenstein needs to be reminded, as I was forced to remind Chris Cuomo the other night on CNN, an indictment is an unproven accusation by the government.
It is not an undisputed fact.
jordan holmes
But generally, it requires undisputed facts to bring the indictment.
dan friesen
Or sworn testimony.
We already heard that a second ago because it was from the sizzle reel that they put before Rudy Giuliani, real or fake, dropping in.
jordan holmes
Definitely fake.
roger stone
You can say Guccifer 2.0 is a Russian asset as many times as you want to say it.
I'm not sure it's necessarily a legal matter.
jordan holmes
I feel like that's not a denial, though.
roger stone
Yes.
Do it.
jordan holmes
Do it.
unidentified
Oh, Benny.
jordan holmes
Oh, do it.
roger stone
...to prove definitively that when Rod Rosenstein says that Goosefur 2.0 is in Is indisputably a Russian.
He's full of...
Exactly.
Now, it is amazing...
jordan holmes
Did they bleep it out or did he just stop himself?
roger stone
The mainstream media memes.
unidentified
Disappointing.
roger stone
Screaming memes.
The Voxes.
The Daily Beasts.
And the other garbage media such as...
dan friesen
You know what?
Here's what I see.
And I know that you can't...
Because I'm playing this from my phone.
You don't see the video.
jordan holmes
Right.
Is it just like a single close-up shot?
It's just one shot on him.
He's speaking directly to the camera.
dan friesen
He's doing a wrestling promo.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
That's all this is, just with slightly more details and less.
I'm going to kick your ass at the Coliseum.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
That's kind of what this is.
So I'm going to actually move along.
I don't think we're going to get much out of this.
jordan holmes
But he's so much.
Here's the thing.
David Knight sucks so hard in comparison to Roger Stone, who what?
Has never hosted his own show before?
Roger Stone picked this up as a side gig a year ago.
dan friesen
He did some radio.
He did The Stone Zone.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
He had a show called The Stone Zone.
jordan holmes
No.
Refuse.
dan friesen
He did.
unidentified
Actually, I know.
jordan holmes
Reject your premise.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Even if this is true, I refuse to believe it.
The Stone Zone?
dan friesen
I know a guy who is kind of like a co-host of his show.
And I want to ask him about it, but I'm worried because he was his co-host.
jordan holmes
Dude, you're going to get yourself killed.
dan friesen
There's a comedian named Travis Irvine who came to Chicago a couple times, and I did some shows with him, and he's a really cool dude.
He was really fun to hang out with.
He had run for a libertarian office in the past, but I didn't think anything too crazy about that.
I certainly didn't suss out any...
You might be friends with Roger Stone in the times that we hung out.
He came to town a couple times.
I booked him on my show.
He killed.
We hung out drinking after the show.
He's a really awesome guy.
But then when I was looking through Roger's shows that he's done, I'm like, Travis Irvine?
What the fuck?
Wait, Travis is on again?
What the fuck?
He's on Roger Stone's shows a lot.
I'd like to get in touch with him and ask him, but I think he'd be cagey.
jordan holmes
Might be a little late for that now.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Especially since the indictment came down.
He's probably not like, I want to give out information now.
dan friesen
I would like to pretend this didn't happen and go back to my really awesome Ninja Turtles bit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He has a good Ninja Turtles bit.
jordan holmes
He has a good Ninja Turtles bit?
dan friesen
Very funny dude.
jordan holmes
What's it about?
dan friesen
I don't remember, but it was really good.
And I don't want to say it on air as I'm ripping off his ass.
jordan holmes
You don't want to burn his material?
dan friesen
No, he's a good dude.
But it's super weird.
I think that that's the closest I have to Alex, other than a couple of people who have contacted me with, like, I know him or I've met him.
But someone who has done multiple radio shows with Roger Stone, who I have hung out drinking with, and I have his number.
jordan holmes
For knowledge.
For knowledge.
This is what you were always meant to do.
Okay.
Like most alt-right and right male pundits, I guarantee, or at least this, I will posit you that Roger Stone has at least done a few open mic sets.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah.
jordan holmes
They're all failed comedians.
They're just all shitty at comedy, and they realize that the right wing doesn't understand comedy, so they try.
dan friesen
Whether or not...
Roger has done open mics.
I want to say that I don't think that Travis is a failed comedian.
jordan holmes
I don't.
No, no, no.
He's very good at standing.
But that's my point.
I'm not talking about Travis.
dan friesen
There is a trend among these dudes, the Gavin McGinnises of the world.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
They are the Rubens.
They're all terrible stand-ups who have pivoted into something else.
jordan holmes
They all tried it for a year and they were like, we don't have any talent at stand-up, but people do listen.
dan friesen
I'm going to call myself out.
I'm a failed stand-up who's now doing this.
jordan holmes
You're not a failed stand-up, you're a lapsed stand-up.
dan friesen
I reached the point where I felt this is about as good as I can do.
And then also didn't enjoy it anymore because I...
jordan holmes
I reached that point three years ago, and I'm still just trying to make money.
dan friesen
You get good club work, though.
jordan holmes
I'm trying to make enough money to...
dan friesen
And you're better at it than I ever was.
I watched you out at the Zanies when I came out, you hosting at Zanies.
I saw frustration in your face.
I saw almost...
jordan holmes
Yes, that is way better.
dan friesen
I saw a touch of I don't want to do this, and there was still...
You doing your job and being funny.
You're being funny and keeping the show running along and all that.
And I couldn't do that.
I couldn't do that anymore.
There's no...
Even in my greatest days, I don't think I could have done that.
jordan holmes
You're not a jobber.
I'm a jobber, man.
I'm going to get it done.
dan friesen
I'm not a good host, also.
jordan holmes
I have a responsibility as a paid professional.
Anyways.
dan friesen
I respect that.
And I think you do a great job.
Let's go to this next clip.
jordan holmes
Yeah, what do we got?
dan friesen
I don't know what it is.
jordan holmes
God, I kind of love this part.
dan friesen
So, this is a clip.
I've scrolled down a little bit, and the only thing I know is that on my phone it says Proud Boy Rufio, which I get very excited about thinking about Hook.
unidentified
Rufio!
dan friesen
Also, did you know this?
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
The guy who played Rufio.
jordan holmes
Was also the voice of...
Shit, what's his name?
In Avatar, The Last Airbender.
He's the voice of Zuko!
That's the same guy, did you know that?
dan friesen
That wasn't the trivia I was going to go with.
jordan holmes
Also, in Legend of Korra, he was the voice of...
Never mind.
dan friesen
The trivia I was going to go with.
jordan holmes
He was the voice of Iroh, who is the grandson of General Iroh.
Let me tell you, actually, the great-grandson of General Iroh.
Dude!
You have no idea how great Avatar The Last Airbender was.
Anyways, continue.
dan friesen
The trivia I was going to say is that the guy who played Rufio, I did not know about his voice acting work.
jordan holmes
Amazing.
dan friesen
But he was also in a Christian extreme sports movie called Extreme Days.
jordan holmes
Did not know that.
What is that movie?
dan friesen
It's terrible, but me and my buddies saw it in the theaters.
unidentified
It's a Christian movie?
dan friesen
About Extreme Days?
No, it was about extreme sports, you know, like snowboarding and what have you.
No, but it was their extreme days, but also they had an extreme love of God.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It was terrible.
But me and my buddies, Nicky Gifts, I believe, was there.
My old Columbia, Missouri buddies were there.
We went and saw it, and we all lost our fucking shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Because Rufio was in it.
It was crazy.
And the movie's terrible.
One of our friends threw an entire large Mountain Dew at the screen.
Like, we were out of control.
jordan holmes
That is like if Point Break had a sudden weird Christian undertone to it.
unidentified
What's more extreme than love in Christ?
dan friesen
I freaked out because they had a car that they called their Joyota.
It was a Toyota, but it was so full of God's joy.
And I freaked out.
jordan holmes
I actually love that.
I love that.
dan friesen
Well, what I freaked out about was that they panned to the back bumper and they had made it say Joyota instead of Toyota.
jordan holmes
You can't fit that on a...
Alright.
dan friesen
It was like, yeah, alright.
You guys, someone in set design did half an hour of work.
I realize that now, but at the time I was like, whoa!
jordan holmes
Crazy!
It actually says Joyota!
You know what?
I've never, never considered that portmanteau.
I...
That says two things.
One, Toyotas don't bring people happiness.
And two, I am not a very creative person at all.
dan friesen
I love how we've spinned off into this probably five minute talk about various things that the guy who played Rufio did.
jordan holmes
Amazing.
If anybody's listening who has not seen Avatar The Last Airbender.
dan friesen
Or Extreme Days.
jordan holmes
Or Extreme Days.
unidentified
Get on it.
dan friesen
I would also like to say that it's crazy that we completely skipped over the other part of it, that he's a proud boy.
jordan holmes
Wait, wait, no, no, no.
Rufio isn't a proud boy.
dan friesen
No, it's someone named Rufio who's a proud boy.
jordan holmes
Somebody named Rufio?
dan friesen
He's taken on that name, I'm sure.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
That's what I'm taking from.
jordan holmes
So we're not saying that there is a family that was born in the 90s, or born in the early 80s, watched Hook, and then decided, when we have a kid...
What else can we call it but Rufio?
dan friesen
It's not his given name, I'm certain.
All right, let's find out.
It's his Proud Boy name.
jordan holmes
Let's find out.
dan friesen
Anyway, the Proud Boys suck.
Let's see what happens here.
Oh, God.
jordan holmes
Proud Boys!
unidentified
I've been hit with clubs and stuff on my hands, and so, you know, going full power, obviously, in defense sometimes makes you vulnerable.
But, you know, I did the best I could, and obviously...
alex jones
I think about the brain, though.
Like you said, in adrenaline, everything slows down.
And your body's like, no, I'll take this guy out with a half punch.
You see, like, the governor kick in.
He goes, it's just awesome.
jordan holmes
So neither of these guys have ever been in a fight before.
dan friesen
So the full title of this is Proud Boy Rufio Pan Man Exposes Violence of Antifa.
unidentified
So, Proud Boy Rufio Pan Man.
jordan holmes
Pan Man.
dan friesen
Which I assume means he hit someone with a pan.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Because we know Bass Stick Man hit the guy with a stick.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
I assume this is just how they get their name.
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
You hit a guy with something and then you're Blanken Man.
jordan holmes
No, as we all know, the Proud Boys...
unidentified
Blank Man, also a great movie starring David Alan Greer.
jordan holmes
Blank Man.
Blank Man starred Damon Wayans, not David Alan Greer.
dan friesen
Debatable.
jordan holmes
David Alan Greer was a...
Supporting actor.
Why he didn't get a Best Supporting Actor nominee, I will never understand.
dan friesen
Whenever Dag is in something, I think he's the lead.
That's what I say.
jordan holmes
So, do you know...
Hold on.
Slight, endless sidebar.
Have you ever seen Cheap Seats?
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
The Sklar Brothers, MST3K, Sportsman?
dan friesen
Not a ton of it, but yeah.
jordan holmes
So, they did one episode where Dag...
Was the host of a bowling competition.
And it is my favorite.
dan friesen
He has so much energy.
jordan holmes
Because Dagg could not have been more angry to be there.
And he hated every second of it.
It was fantastic.
dan friesen
One of my favorite things is early Loveline days.
And I would hate to revisit a lot of it, probably.
But when I was 14 or so, listening to those episodes when David Allen Greer would come in.
It was revolutionary in terms of this person is crazy and just riffing his ass off, but not in a desperate way.
jordan holmes
It didn't feel desperate.
Dag is somehow simultaneously underrated, and if you actually listen to him, way overrated.
It's bananas.
Dag is a...
dan friesen
He's had an amazing career, too.
jordan holmes
He's an anomaly.
dan friesen
He's done some great stand-up.
He's been in some awesome movies.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Blank Man.
jordan holmes
Done it all.
dan friesen
He's been in that great show with Delta Burke.
unidentified
Done it all.
dan friesen
Dag.
jordan holmes
Underrated.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And Paul F. Topkins also.
Yeah, if you listen to his stand-up too long, overrated.
It's bananas.
dan friesen
I feel like that might be the case for most stand-ups.
Love him.
So, the reason that I paused this for a second, we got off on a Dag thing there.
jordan holmes
As you do.
dan friesen
We have...
jordan holmes
That's something that everybody says sooner or later.
dan friesen
We have a visual tableau that I'll describe here.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
It's been this guy, Pan Man, and Alex Jones sitting at a table together.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
dan friesen
And this guy's talking about these fights, and Alex is trying to relate, like, all right, you get that governor.
Switches over.
Sure.
This is a swole 20-something-year-old dude sitting like he's, like...
Like, casual as fuck.
Like, at a bar.
Like, he's got his arm on Alex's table.
jordan holmes
I like it.
dan friesen
Sitting sideways.
jordan holmes
I like it.
dan friesen
He's got a posture of, like, I don't give a fuck.
I'm the shit.
I know this is what you want me to bring to your show.
Let's do this.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
And you have Alex looking over at him dreamily.
There's almost like an admiration of this.
jordan holmes
A forgotten youth.
dan friesen
Exactly.
I feel like I know that we're only in the sizzle reel here.
Again, before we get to what I hope is another Rudy Giuliani drop.
jordan holmes
That'd be great.
The word vicarious can be used here.
dan friesen
Oh, yes.
And accurately.
unidentified
Yeah.
Everything happened naturally and organically there.
alex jones
How did you not smack the chick that was like when she was going to hit you?
unidentified
Oh, what?
alex jones
Gotta show it really, really slow.
What?
unidentified
Yep, there you go.
Those sunglasses are still flying.
alex jones
Good job not smacking her, but how did you not do it?
Because that's what you gotta do.
When I was at the inauguration...
jordan holmes
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Hold on.
Hold on.
dan friesen
I just watched that video that he played.
It was Pan Man, Rufio Pan Man, punching a dude.
Rufio.
And then as his swing followed through, there was another woman.
Maybe four feet from the person he just punched, and he doesn't punch her.
jordan holmes
Congratulations.
dan friesen
I don't know how you don't also punch her.
jordan holmes
I'm going to go with inertia?
I'm going to go with a lot of different reasons.
But first and foremost, the biggest problem here is Alex is delighted by the idea that...
He should have hit her.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
jordan holmes
He wants to hit a woman.
dan friesen
Well, she's a socialist out on the goddamn streets.
She needs to be punched right in the goddamn face.
jordan holmes
How do you get rid of socialism and women?
You smack them down.
That's just history, dude.
dan friesen
Alex only watched the first three minutes of the Smack My Bitch Up video and decided it was the best thing ever.
jordan holmes
Correct.
dan friesen
Didn't get to the reveal.
jordan holmes
Nailed it.
alex jones
Kept punching me, pushing me, trying to get me to do something.
unidentified
Well, I saw that as a female, you know, and she wasn't wearing a mask, so that was instantly my thought was, okay, she's not an immediate threat, even if she decides to be aggressive with me.
Hold on.
She doesn't have a weapon.
And then my focus became on grabbing that baton that went to the ground and confiscating that weapon.
dan friesen
Infowars logo.
jordan holmes
Alright, so his basic point here is...
He was doing a situational analysis whilst in the middle of a punch.
dan friesen
He was like Robert Downey Jr. in Sherlock.
Time slowed down.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
It was bullet time when you were out there fighting Antifa.
unidentified
You're out there and you're like, my priority is confiscate baton.
dan friesen
Program, confiscate baton, action.
jordan holmes
Sidekick to the knee.
Punch to the face.
Put down.
dan friesen
His liver is swollen.
jordan holmes
And then grab the baton.
Watch out!
There's a lady!
dan friesen
So stupid.
jordan holmes
Wow.
Again, here's my problem.
I don't think either of them are really unhappy with the idea of punching a woman.
dan friesen
Should things have been slightly different, like, let's say, she was wearing a mask.
jordan holmes
Then, yeah!
Of course I'm going to punch a woman.
What kind of person wouldn't punch a woman wearing a mask?
dan friesen
Right, she's wearing a mask.
jordan holmes
Come on!
Domestic abuse.
How many women has Alex hit?
dan friesen
Well, I know that he's, you know, made a bunch have abortions that they didn't want.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
I don't know if that's the equivalent of hitting, but I know it's not great.
jordan holmes
Maybe.
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
I don't like how I said maybe right there.
alex jones
He's a member of Gavin McGinnis' Proud Boys.
dan friesen
Proud Boys!
alex jones
A year and a half seeing women and children beaten up by Antifa.
Prayer vigils, pro-gun rallies, not even Trump supporters sometimes being attacked.
So he's become well-known if he just joined us going out and standing up for people and famously knocking a lot of these guys out.
dan friesen
With pants.
alex jones
I forgot you were coming to town.
I invited you.
There's several other films of you clocking these guys out.
So maybe during the break you can tell the crew where to find those.
I've seen them.
dan friesen
He just replayed the exact same video of him, and now in slow motion, punching the same guy while a woman watches.
They're in an alley.
It doesn't appear...
jordan holmes
Nobody is attacking him.
dan friesen
It's not a fracas.
jordan holmes
Nobody is attacking him.
dan friesen
It does not appear to be a crowded melee.
It's just he's punching a guy.
I don't know the circumstances of it, so I can't comment on that, but this seems thin.
jordan holmes
Hard whiplash.
All right.
First thought that we hear from the best of clip or the sizzle reel is him saying, I don't know how you didn't punch that woman because I would have given that woman a smack.
dan friesen
That makes me think the rest of this video is going to be weak as hell.
jordan holmes
Next thought, Antifa, we saw them hitting women and children.
dan friesen
That's an interesting...
Yeah, that's tough.
That's tough to reconcile.
jordan holmes
No, I think it's impossible to reconcile.
I would say, I would even go so far as to say that means he likes hitting women.
dan friesen
It's a certain amount of cognitive dissonance, only because we know that his narratives aren't true.
So like the things he's saying that Antifa is doing, Antifa in quotes is doing.
Isn't real.
It's just a fear that justifies the behavior of people like Rufio and Man and Bass Stick Man.
jordan holmes
And again, just like so many gun people...
He has such a fantasy about justified violence.
dan friesen
You're a good man with a pan.
jordan holmes
He wants to shoot somebody or hit them with a pan, but he needs to do it in self-defense so it's justified.
dan friesen
So what do you say?
Do you want to hear more about based pan man or do you want to move on?
jordan holmes
I think we're good with pan man.
I think we got what we wanted to hear.
dan friesen
You know what?
jordan holmes
We got the clip of Alex saying he wanted to hit a woman and then decrying the idea of hitting women.
dan friesen
I think that's all you're really going to get out of this clip, probably.
jordan holmes
I think we're good.
dan friesen
Otherwise, you're just going to hear Rufio Pan Man justify his own actions.
jordan holmes
Rufio.
dan friesen
Jesus.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
Spin the wheel.
jordan holmes
Let's do it.
dan friesen
InfoWars graphic.
unidentified
The silent majority has a voice.
Oh, no.
dan friesen
It's David Knight again.
jordan holmes
No!
unidentified
Hold on.
jordan holmes
Let's hear what he has to say.
The first sentence he has.
unidentified
I'm David Knight and we have on the line with us Ammon Bundy.
david knight
We just had him on last week and I wanted to get him on again in light of the Ammon pardon.
jordan holmes
No, fuck up.
unidentified
Move on.
david knight
Because we talked about that as being something that was rumored about.
unidentified
No, why is his intro so fucking boring?
jordan holmes
Skip ahead.
No, no, just scroll ahead.
dan friesen
You know what's going on right now?
That is the sizzle reel.
David Knight is so boring.
jordan holmes
Oh no, that's not even the intro, is it?
dan friesen
David Knight is so boring that being like...
Well, we have Hammond Bundy on the phone.
jordan holmes
God, David Knight is so boring.
Okay, skip to like three minutes in.
dan friesen
Oh man, this would be so good too.
This title is amazing.
Hammond Bundy, colon, takes callers and tells how DOJ denies justice.
They're taking callers with Hammond Bundy.
jordan holmes
Didn't he just get...
Didn't his buddies just get pardoned?
dan friesen
It was the Hammonds.
jordan holmes
What do you mean the DOJ denies justice?
dan friesen
Well, I don't think that the Bundys did.
jordan holmes
No, they didn't get a pardon.
unidentified
They said and stood up and publicly stood for people like the Hammonds.
jordan holmes
Boring.
david knight
And that's the thing that we see increasingly is that they ignore so many things in the Constitution, even the most obvious thing.
jordan holmes
Like what?
unidentified
About the fact that you have a speedy trial.
They keep people in for...
Several years.
I've seen this over and over again.
jordan holmes
Oh shit, that's true.
david knight
I've talked to a New Jersey weed man about his...
dan friesen
Hold on.
jordan holmes
You can talk to so many people on Rikers Island.
You can talk to so many people on Rikers Island.
People have waited two years without getting a trial.
dan friesen
He talked to New Jersey weed man.
Which, if I know Proud Boy slang, that means that he's someone who assaulted someone with weed.
Who's New Jersey Weedman?
Is it Greg Weedman?
jordan holmes
His name's Weedman?
unidentified
I don't know.
jordan holmes
They wouldn't allow a Jew on here.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
Let's give him like 30 more seconds.
unidentified
Okay.
jordan holmes
30 seconds.
david knight
Particular situation.
unidentified
They came after him.
david knight
He was a marijuana activist.
unidentified
Cool.
They kept him in jail without bail, saying that it was part of the New Jersey bail reform.
But they didn't give you guys bail.
They can...
dan friesen
Oh, cool.
Let's do it with cash bail.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Hey, how about that?
jordan holmes
I'm fine with that.
dan friesen
He's not going to make that argument.
jordan holmes
God, they always...
Anytime we agree with them, they always make an argument that they don't realize they're making.
That's a good argument.
dan friesen
That veers fucking hard left.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
It's like they're so hard right, they go to the other side.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, that does sort of have some truth in that, like, horseshoe theory.
I don't know if that's necessarily accurate.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But a lot of people do believe that the further you go right, the closer you get to the furthest end of the left.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
That's interesting.
dan friesen
I don't know if that's true, but I do know that...
Based on the way the propaganda works, even if you are in sort of spiritual agreement with the people on the hard left when you're on the hard right, you're still going to be like, no I'm not!
You're still going to pine towards something closer to the middle because that's where you can make your money.
Alright, Devin Knight's too boring.
Dude, I thought that...
jordan holmes
No, that was never going to happen.
The moment we heard Devin Knight...
dan friesen
With that title...
Ammon Bundy, I get very excited.
jordan holmes
The moment you hear David Knight's voice, everyone dies.
Everyone dies.
It's the worst thing in the world.
dan friesen
Okay, alright.
I'm very interested to see this clip.
I don't know what this is going to be about.
I've not heard Alex talk about this, but this is a clip about Sacha Baron Cohen.
Who is now...
jordan holmes
This is really recent, then.
dan friesen
Yeah, I mean, I told you, this has been in the last couple days.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
This whole roulette, I can't scroll through that far back on my phone.
jordan holmes
I just didn't...
I had no context.
There's a part of me that just says, if you search Alex Jones, you get the greatest hits all the way from...
dan friesen
I'm only looking in his actual channel.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
That's the game of InfoWars Roulette.
jordan holmes
So you're not searching, you're just going to the channel and then sliding...
dan friesen
Okay.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Oh, we'd find much weirder things.
jordan holmes
I know, right?
dan friesen
Yeah.
No, I only want his...
The stuff that stands behind.
So, for everyone who doesn't know, in the last week or so, Sacha Baron Cohen has put out his new documentary, mockumentary, prank show, We Are America, Who Is America?
jordan holmes
Yeah, whatever, who cares?
dan friesen
The commercial for it came out, and everyone who got fucking punked by it came out in droves being like, uh, hey, uh.
They tricked me into saying things I didn't mean to say.
jordan holmes
You know what is interesting, though?
Apparently Bernie Sanders got tricked and he was like, eh.
None of Bernie Sanders' interviews wound up with him saying, yeah, we should arm toddlers, of course.
dan friesen
I watched the clips that I can find.
I don't have Showtime, so I can't watch it or anything.
Or the full thing.
I'll watch it as soon as I can.
I think this sort of thing is very hilarious.
People like Bernie Sanders got tricked by someone who was dumb, and then Bernie was very polite to him and tried to talk to him.
The prank there is that he didn't leave.
With people like our friend, hashtag trash dick, shout out to Joe Walsh and Druffy.
People like Trent Lott.
People like Alex Jones' dear friend Larry Pratt from Citizens for Guns.
jordan holmes
Why didn't Sacha Baron Cohen interview Larry Nichols?
Oh, that would have been the one.
dan friesen
Not on their radar.
jordan holmes
All kinds of shit.
dan friesen
Not on their radar.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
Of course not.
But you guys don't even know!
dan friesen
But I don't even think that in the analyses that I've seen in some of the fun...
Progressive media, people like Sam Seder, some of these YouTube channels that have gone over it, I don't even think they recognize how important Larry Pratt is in terms of that his gun organization was one of the big major forces that pushed the NRA so hard right.
They were very instrumental in pushing them to be less sensible.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
Because in 2009, when we...
Check in with Alex Jones?
He hates the NRA.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Because they are too wishy-washy.
And they're too possibly okay with gun laws.
jordan holmes
Yeah, they haven't gone Oliver North yet.
dan friesen
Well, they hadn't even until very recently.
But metaphorically, they have.
Yeah.
So, like, I love all this.
And I'm very excited to see what Alex Jones' take on it.
I know it's going to be defensive and stupid.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
Here we go.
alex jones
Sasha Baron Cohen.
jordan holmes
Good pause.
alex jones
The king of fake news.
unidentified
It's not news, baby.
jordan holmes
The Onion.
King of fake news.
dan friesen
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
The title of this video is better than I could have possibly imagined.
jordan holmes
What is it?
dan friesen
So when I clicked on it, all I saw was must-see Sacha Baron Cohen.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I'm like, Alex Jones, if it's a must-see.
And it's about this topic?
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
You've got to see it.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
The whole title, Must See, Sacha Baron Cohen Stalks Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
He stalks Alex Jones?
dan friesen
We're going to have to see where this goes.
jordan holmes
Oh yeah, this is going to go weird.
alex jones
He puts out the late night comedy shows like Homeland, all these so-called...
jordan holmes
Wait, what?
Sacha Baron Cohen put out Homeland?
dan friesen
No, no, no, no.
jordan holmes
Sacha Baron...
No, no, he's talking about Showtime.
Not Sacha Baron himself.
dan friesen
Or just the media.
That was caught up in when we paused.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
I got it.
Now I got it.
Yeah.
alex jones
You name it, are designed to target Infowars in their own admissions.
dan friesen
Why?
alex jones
And then...
dan friesen
Think about it.
alex jones
They put it out like the things they're saying, bigoted, hateful, racist, are things we said.
And then they have CNN come out today and call for Infowars to be banned.
dan friesen
Bad sizzle.
Bad sizzle.
jordan holmes
No, that wasn't good.
unidentified
Wow.
alex jones
Make ready to land our troops beyond their energy field.
And we definitely landed our troops in Washington.
And we are taking the Republic back, but the globalists are striking back and fighting as hard as they can.
jordan holmes
Are you taking the Republic back?
alex jones
Well, I suspected this six months ago, but now we've confirmed it.
Sasha Baron Cohen.
We're taking out the emails right now.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
alex jones
via Showtime was targeting Infowars and wanting in the building.
dan friesen
No shit.
alex jones
And I just have a policy where I basically don't talk to mainstream media anymore.
They're like, oh, we want to show both sides of the divide in America.
We want to do a fair piece.
dan friesen
They targeted him with the wrong character.
jordan holmes
For sure.
dan friesen
Because in that show, at least from what I've seen, there's two characters I've seen.
One is the guy from Israel who lures people with the flights of Israel.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
And then the disabled, not disabled, veteran guy who was talking to Bernie.
Yeah.
You go into Alex with...
I think that means that they went with the veteran guy.
jordan holmes
Probably.
dan friesen
If they went with the Israel guy, I think he probably would have been like, are you kidding me?
jordan holmes
I'm not trying to be contrarian in any way.
I'm just saying, you know what?
With this show, I'm going to pass.
I don't need it in my life.
dan friesen
They approached him with...
Here's my prediction.
I don't know if this is the case, like I said.
I would predict that if...
I don't give a shit.
Approached him with something that stroked his vanity and ego, like the character who was like, you're getting a reward, or getting an award for Friends of Israel and stuff.
I think he would have gone along with that.
jordan holmes
Oh, if it was Friends of Israel, that would have given him so much lead.
dan friesen
He would have been trepidatious about it, probably.
He probably would have been a little skeptical, but he would have gotten over that pretty quick.
He would have done a little bit of digging, not been able to figure it out, and then be like, fuck it, let's do it.
alex jones
I saw Sarah Palin putting out the text last night that they'd sent her, the deceptive text.
I went, wait, I've read those exact emails, and I've heard my producer talk about them telling them that.
And after about a month of them incessantly calling, I said, don't call her anymore.
dan friesen
I don't believe that.
Sure.
alex jones
Sasha Barrett-Cohen.
jordan holmes
SBC.
alex jones
The king of fake news.
Because what they do is they act like they're comedians, but then the media puts out the late-night comedy shows.
Like Homeland, all these so-called entertainment shows from the opposition.
dan friesen
Homeland is not a comment.
alex jones
Are designed to target Infowars.
jordan holmes
It is kind of hilarious.
alex jones
And then they put it out like the things they're saying, bigoted, hateful, racist, are things we said.
dan friesen
Now we're back to the sizzle.
alex jones
And then they have CNN come out today.
And call for Infowars to be banned.
CNN...
jordan holmes
Boring pass.
dan friesen
No, we need to listen to it a little bit more because I want him to get more into Sacha Baron Cohen's shit.
But, like, here's the problem structurally with this clip as opposed to the other clips that we've seen so far.
Literally.
We're two minutes into this clip.
He did 30 seconds of the sizzle reel, which is 30 seconds of the first minute of his thing.
That is really bad, structurally.
From a production standpoint, you can't just be like...
jordan holmes
We've got to stop giving advice.
dan friesen
This is so repetitive already that we want to turn it off, but I need to know more about his feelings about Sacha Baron Cohen.
unidentified
Because I love the idea that he thinks he's fake news.
jordan holmes
How long is this clip?
dan friesen
The clip?
Oh, we're not listening to this whole thing.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
I'm just asking how long is it?
dan friesen
It's 20 minutes.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Skip ahead to...
Seven-ish minutes.
dan friesen
Seven-ish?
jordan holmes
Seven-ish minutes.
dan friesen
Right.
Here we are coming in at 6.53.
alex jones
And then meanwhile, Hillary Clinton calls for Infowars to be banned.
Homeland blames Alex Jones' character for fake news.
And then says things I never said.
That was two years ago!
Use this in CNN articles and go, look.
Ban Infowars.
Look.
Everybody hates him.
No, you hate me.
Fake news is television's favorite new storyline.
The Atlantic.
And then it talks about InfoWars.
dan friesen
Is that article from 2015?
jordan holmes
Yeah, The Atlantic.
You know, TV.
alex jones
On a fiction show on Showtime.
And then use that as a way to, quote, ban InfoWars.
Because Homeland said it.
And then weird Democrat voters watch this crap.
Dozens of shows against me.
dan friesen
I've got Republican voters also watch it.
alex jones
Yeah, yeah.
unidentified
It's like a super terrorism show, right?
alex jones
We've got all the Hillary clips calling for me to be banned, and she's still directing this.
jordan holmes
What about Borat?
alex jones
We've got to get fake news banned by the midterms, or the Republicans will stay- What about Ali G?
We've got all the clips coming up.
And then they're directly attacking InfoWars as the case point.
jordan holmes
Nah, boring.
Next show.
dan friesen
I'm sorry, you mispronounced Borat.
jordan holmes
Next close.
alex jones
And then saying, I need to be removed because I'm fake news, so I can't, and this is the key, defend myself while they demonize and attack me.
unidentified
Nah.
alex jones
Here it is.
CNN lobbies Facebook to shut down InfoWars.
The new story today.
jordan holmes
Bail.
dan friesen
I want to know more about his feelings about Borat.
jordan holmes
I know, right?
dan friesen
That's all I want.
That's all I wanted out of that clip.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
That was disappointing.
dan friesen
I bet he didn't say much in that six minutes we skipped either.
unidentified
Nah.
dan friesen
He probably said some stuff about, like, you know what?
I was the big fish they wanted.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I slipped through the net, so they had to get Trent Lott.
jordan holmes
Bail.
dan friesen
They had to get Trent Lott and Dana Rohrabacher and Walsh.
All right.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
It's fascinating to me that these guys just don't understand what the difference is.
Like, if you get tricked...
And it's nothing.
How can you compare it to all of these Republicans going on the show and being like, fuck yeah, let's arm children.
I don't give a shit.
Their explicit joy is enough to indict them.
dan friesen
Well, one of the things that I took away from that commercial, and again, because I haven't watched the entire show, I can only judge based on that.
The context clues I gleaned from that very, very clearly.
conservative ding-dongs were reading a teleprompter.
jordan holmes
I didn't know that.
dan friesen
It's very clear they're doing a cold read.
jordan holmes
No shit.
Yes.
unidentified
I haven't seen any of it.
jordan holmes
I'm just, again, I'm bailing.
I'm out.
dan friesen
The trailer of it is a script.
You can tell.
It's a script of these people like Dana Rohrabacher, Walsh, just cold reading off of like, Well, the Kindergarten's program allows children to be able to protect themselves.
jordan holmes
Okay, so they're doing like a commercial.
Yes, to the camera.
dan friesen
And it's clear that they're not saying their own words.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
So that is where I take issue with the idea of being tricked.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's a little bit of a bummer.
dan friesen
No, no.
It's worse than just getting tricked.
Because if you were a right-thinking person and you didn't believe in the things you're saying and you're reading a teleprompter, you'd be like, I'm not going to read that.
You'd be like, what is this?
jordan holmes
I don't think...
Well, first off...
dan friesen
You're crazy.
jordan holmes
First off...
dan friesen
Whatever you're about to say is crazy.
jordan holmes
Hold on.
Here's what I'm about to say.
These are stupid, vapid people who will read whatever is put in front of them so long as...
Like, if you put in front of them, like, I think we should...
Give healthcare to people, they would be like, ah!
But if you put anything less than that, they'd be fine with it.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
They're fucking stupid.
They're dumb.
It's just, like, they're really dumb.
They're really dumb.
Alright, let's do one more.
dan friesen
I know, and I'm trying to find one, but the issue for me now comes down to the fact that, like, titles are not good.
I can only see a few words of the title.
And I've got to find a punchline.
jordan holmes
All right.
We've got to dismount on this.
What do we got?
unidentified
All right, ladies and gentlemen, Owen Troyer here at RinkoWars.com.
I just found the MoveOn.org protest live in front of Capitol Hill here in D.C. Wait, he just found it?
dan friesen
So I should be honest, the sound mixing here is terrible.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Because Owen is much lower than the video that they're playing.
jordan holmes
So he's in studio, though.
dan friesen
Oh, yes.
jordan holmes
I kind of, like, based on the audio, I thought he was, like, there.
And he just wandered and he was like, holy shit, I just found the protest.
dan friesen
Based on the audio, I thought he was in a ship in a bottle.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It sounds like shit.
So...
The video of it is of the protest of some sort or a rally where people are giving speeches.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
This is weird.
jordan holmes
Here we go.
dan friesen
Oh, the title of this clip is Zombie Horde of Anti-Trump Protesters Roasted.
jordan holmes
Great movie title.
unidentified
It's been a Democrat zombie protest bitch fest.
It's hilarious, but these people are out of control.
dan friesen
He's recording in, like, a kitchen with no, like, sound dampening.
jordan holmes
Okay, so he's not in an actual studio?
Where the fuck is he?
dan friesen
There is no video of him.
The video is of the protest.
jordan holmes
Oh, so this is pure audio.
dan friesen
I think he's just doing this, like, maybe in his bathroom or something.
jordan holmes
Okay, all right.
unidentified
Mr. President, why will you not protect our democracy?
jordan holmes
Good question.
unidentified
Why will you not defend our democracy?
jordan holmes
Good question.
Rig the primary for Hillary.
unidentified
Fire Mueller hands down an indictment of world military intelligence officials from Russia saying that they invaded our elections, they meddled in our democracy.
Attempted to?
dan friesen
Good save.
jordan holmes
Wait, why does he think that's a defense?
Wait, wait, wait!
Hold on!
Hold on!
If I understand correctly, his defense of Russia is they tried.
dan friesen
Well, because that's what...
jordan holmes
That is fantastic!
He does not realize how dumb and incontrovertible evidence that he's dumb that is!
dan friesen
Well, because that's what's concretely provable, is that the attempts were done.
jordan holmes
Yeah, they did it.
Okay, so they did it.
dan friesen
And then the parts that are only forensically provable in terms of the intelligence that's available, that they were successful.
Him being like, oh, I'm gonna roast you by saying, oh, they attempted to.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sure.
dan friesen
You should just say, no.
jordan holmes
I know, right?
unidentified
Why not?
jordan holmes
Why are we always giving them better advice?
dan friesen
You're InfoWars.
jordan holmes
You're Owen Joy.
dan friesen
Why not just say...
jordan holmes
Just lie!
dan friesen
Just say, no.
Yeah!
Categorically, no.
jordan holmes
Just lie.
Just lie.
It's not hard.
dan friesen
Honestly, this might be the best clip we've ever found.
jordan holmes
I think so.
dan friesen
This sound is so terrible.
jordan holmes
This is him just admitting all of the shit.
Okay.
dan friesen
It's like him, like, maybe after a big night, just in his bathroom watching this clip.
unidentified
I'm like, I'm just going to record some commentary for it.
Democracy!
to say to Vladimir Putin, we will not let you interfere in our election, but we need you instead.
He capitulated to Vladimir Putin.
Why won't you defend our democracy, Donald Trump?
Ha ha ha.
dan friesen
That was 30 seconds.
This video is called zombie hordes of anti-Trump protesters roasting.
I don't hear any roasting.
The last thing he said is, yes, Russia tried.
jordan holmes
So much roasting.
So much roasting.
unidentified
If you won't defend it, we will.
We will defend our democracy.
We will protect Bob Mueller.
It's our Justice Department.
It belongs to the people of the United States.
It doesn't belong to Donald Trump.
We will protect Bob Mueller.
jordan holmes
Alright.
dan friesen
That was another 30 seconds!
jordan holmes
Yeah.
And it's not like...
He just let him go!
dan friesen
And it's not like there is not the precedent set.
He's just going to butt in with stuff.
He's gonna butt in with stuff.
unidentified
You know what's weird?
jordan holmes
That's a really right-wing thought that that apparently left-wing guy is telling.
unidentified
Why would you fucking trust the FBI?
dan friesen
Dirt.
jordan holmes
Why in God's name would you be like, oh, the FBI is...
Like, this is our Department of Justice?
Our Department of Justice has been garbage for a thousand goddamn years.
Or 250.
It is amazing how weird it is for the left now to, like, rely on the FBI that tried to...
Blackmail Martin Luther King Jr. as though it's some sort of bulwark against the rising tide of authoritarianism.
The FBI is on the side of authoritarianism.
Bananas!
dan friesen
I would say my defense to that, I think, is that I also do not trust the FBI.
But I believe that, and I hope this is the truth, although I have no reason to believe this.
This is my romantic idealism coming out to some extent.
I think that those chapters in our history, what you're talking about is 50 years ago, 60 years ago.
jordan holmes
Okay, fine.
Let's go into fucking 10 years ago during the Iraq War, whenever Bob Mueller himself is trying and advocating, well, it was 15 years ago, trying and advocating and convincing people that going to the war in Iraq is a good idea.
brian stelter
Right.
dan friesen
Yeah, I don't have a leg to stand on.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Let's see what...
jordan holmes
Let's see.
Okay, also, it's amazing to me that Owen Troyer hasn't figured out Alex's trick of don't let the full clip play.
dan friesen
Or start it again.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that is a terrible idea.
All of those things are legitimately reasonable.
dan friesen
We're not going to listen to this whole thing, but I am fucking putting the clock on when Owen's going to talk again.
It's already been a minute.
unidentified
Yeah.
We will clean up this government.
We will make our democracy resilient.
Here's the truth.
Our president isn't just letting our democracy be attacked from the outside.
He's attacking it.
Hmm.
Listen to these zombies.
dan friesen
So there he goes, listen to these zombies.
That was another 25 seconds.
A minute and a half.
Until he just says, listen to these zombies.
unidentified
This is a zombie lord in DC Live.
We have a live George Soros zombie lord right here.
A live at George Soros?
Instead of to our environment.
Steve Panuchin carrying water for Wall Street.
Special interest agenda and Trump's at the top of the pile.
He's invading and undermining our democracy.
jordan holmes
He's just letting this play.
unidentified
Ethical blindness of a kind we have never seen.
Crossing every single boundary there is.
Great, great.
dan friesen
We are two minutes and 40 seconds into this.
This is a man asleep at the wheel.
This is a drunk pilot.
There is nothing going on here.
jordan holmes
This is bad.
unidentified
Why are you putting this out on your own channel?
I would love it.
dan friesen
I would love it if Owen Troyer...
Put out something where, first of all, it was competent sound mixing.
And he was watching this thing, and he was making the point that, like, hey, everyone's mindlessly just going along with this, hey, believe the FBI is great, like you were espousing, and I pushed back on a tiny bit, but I also realize you're probably right.
Yeah.
Generally.
I would appreciate that as, like, hey, you're a fucking right-around-30-year-old young buck.
Like, why don't you show your bona fides?
Yeah.
Get in there.
Give some substance.
You know, instead of like, we're two minutes and 45 seconds into this.
unidentified
A minute and a half at least has been silence.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
The rest of it has been nothing.
Saying nothing.
jordan holmes
Again.
dan friesen
At the end, when he comes in here, and I should be clear.
This is 40 minutes long.
We're not going to listen to this.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
This is our last minute.
dan friesen
No, and honestly, we're done with this roulette.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
But, like, that's crazy to me.
That is an insane level of incompetence.
I understand the idea of letting someone speak their piece before you come in and rebut.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's called broadcasting.
dan friesen
It's also just being courteous or intellectually honest.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But that's not what he's doing.
He's not sitting there waiting for somebody to say something.
He's still interrupting, like, earlier with dumb bullshit.
jordan holmes
But...
dan friesen
He just doesn't have anything.
jordan holmes
But insanely!
Insanely!
That's the thing that I wonder about, is when people are listening to Owen Troyer's show, which they are not.
dan friesen
No.
It's only on one station in the country.
jordan holmes
How many views do they got?
dan friesen
Actually, this one's not too bad.
23,000.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's not too bad.
dan friesen
Better than a lot of Alex's videos.
jordan holmes
Oh, well.
dan friesen
Also, I should say, if I had all the data and I could see who turned it off after 40 seconds, I bet that would be a lot of them.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
You still get a hit for that.
jordan holmes
So his situation here, though, is he's letting the full clip play.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
And, well, okay.
He's letting enough of the clip play.
For people to hear a reasonable argument, and then he's just denying reality.
Like, when he jumps in, he's like, brains!
Brains!
And you're like, no, that guy's put together a very cogent thought.
Like, even if you disagree with it, that's a cogent thought.
dan friesen
You can disagree with it on substance if you like.
That's your business.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
So he's just creating this alternate reality.
Alex does that.
unidentified
But he doesn't let the whole clip play.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
He doesn't let people make the cogent argument.
He cuts it off before you can recognize that it's cogent.
Whereas Owen Troyer is like, I'm going to let you complete your thought, and then I'm going to lie about it.
dan friesen
Alex abuses the source material.
Whereas Owen, I don't think he generally does this.
I think this clip is actually an anomaly based on what I've seen from him.
He's much more of a bully than this.
I think this is him just phoning this shit in hard.
This is him.
Man, I'll tell you what.
I know that I've made a cottage industry out of hating Infowars.
It's kind of my thing.
I'm disappointed in them.
This video, we've listened to a lot of bad videos in the course of this roulette.
But this one, to me, is like, you guys weren't even trying.
Like, Owen can do better than this.
He's more of a bully than this, and I don't know why he's pulling his punches.
I don't know why he's sitting silent forever and just not talking over this.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I don't understand.
I don't understand why Alex would allow this to go out on his channel.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
I guess you get 20,000 cheap views or whatever, and I'm sure there's a super male vitality ad at the end of it.
But, like, I don't know, man.
I'm disappointed.
Also, I should tell you this.
I just learned today.
That Alex does not have a trademark on super male vitality.
Really?
It lasted in 2015.
unidentified
Really?
dan friesen
If anyone wants to trademark super male vitality, they could sue Alex.
Also, super female vitality.
jordan holmes
Holy shit!
dan friesen
I went through...
jordan holmes
How do we do that?
dan friesen
I don't want...
You'd have to pay some money probably for the trademark shit.
I don't know.
You'd maybe have to get a trademark lawyer.
Probably also have to have a product.
I don't know.
I just thought it was funny.
I was going through trademarks, and I found most of his trademarks have lapsed.
jordan holmes
He just assumes nobody would take it.
dan friesen
Yeah, I don't give a shit.
Who gives a fuck?
The ones he does care about, though, apparently, are Survival Shield.
Who cares about that one?
And, ooh, there's one that...
Oh, what?
I gotta get the exact name of this.
So I found this new trademark from Free Speech Systems.
I don't know what this is going to be.
I can't find it.
But it was just filed a month and a half ago.
Firepower Radio.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
He filed a trademark for Firepower Radio.
jordan holmes
Weird.
dan friesen
I don't know what that's going to be.
But, I mean, it just...
You look over it and it's just like, oh, broadcasting stuff.
It's all the boilerplate shit.
What are you going to do, Alex?
What's Firepower Radio going to be?
Also...
That sort of thing is so crazy to me because then it introduces the idea of you're able to preemptively trademark something that you aren't doing.
Why did you not at all take care of fortified supply?
jordan holmes
Oh, well, okay.
Yes.
Well, that's what a lot of people do.
dan friesen
Which is now Infowars Survival, which is also not a business.
jordan holmes
It's like the patent trolls who tried to take down podcasting.
It's like people registering domains that they think might be...
Like, I imagine you should be able...
Or, not should be able to.
I imagine if you were smart, you would trademark a lot of shit nearby.
dan friesen
Nope.
jordan holmes
But if you did not...
Renew your trademark of super male vitality.
dan friesen
I'm looking up...
jordan holmes
Let me tell you something.
Go to fillyourhand.com because shit's about to go wild.
dan friesen
I looked up all of the Free Speech Systems LLC, all of their trademarks that they own.
They have Infowars, that's current, Prison Planet, prisonplanet.com.
Prison Planet is a sort of a broadcasting entity, is a separate entity.
The Alex Jones Show.
The real red pill.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Icarin, one of his new supplements.
jordan holmes
That flies too close to the sun.
dan friesen
Yes, absolutely.
It's such a tragic name.
jordan holmes
Stupid name.
dan friesen
There's a number of these that are all current, and then there's ones that are like, you still sell this, man.
Why did you let super male vitality lapse?
jordan holmes
I don't know.
Three years ago.
He probably just doesn't...
Think anybody would pay attention, so he doesn't want to waste his money on it.
dan friesen
Probably.
Now, here's the last thing I want to bring up before we close this show out.
Alex also got a trademark for something called Honor Roll.
jordan holmes
I don't know what that means at all.
dan friesen
I don't either.
jordan holmes
It's his kid?
dan friesen
Honor Roll.
jordan holmes
Kid maybe Honor Roll?
dan friesen
These are the words that we are going to look out for in the future.
Honor Roll and Firepower Radio.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Those two things are...
jordan holmes
We're going to keep our eyes on that.
dan friesen
They have filed trademarks for these things.
They're not approved yet, and they aren't real things.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
But they're filed.
jordan holmes
So, what would happen if we did get the trademark for super male vitality and super female vitality?
dan friesen
I mean, it wouldn't matter.
jordan holmes
Is there something we could do?
dan friesen
I don't think so.
I think it would be like ex post facto kind of thing.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's probably true.
dan friesen
I think they are grandfathered in as an existing product or whatever.
It would be an abuse of a trademark if we did that.
jordan holmes
But if they continue to use it, I don't know.
I don't know.
dan friesen
I feel like, first of all, it's not the best use of our time.
But if anyone else wants to get a trademark on Super Male Vitality, it's open.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's not busy.
dan friesen
So, Jordan, we've come to the end of this InfoWars roulette.
I think it went better than we could have expected.
I think when we started this, we thought it would be...
Well, we're going to listen to something boring for a bit.
jordan holmes
No, this was fantastic.
dan friesen
We found a number of fun things.
And I would say that the more fun thing is you and I being able to organically respond to things similarly.
roger stone
Yeah!
dan friesen
In a way that our show doesn't offer.
jordan holmes
No, this wasn't a planned episode.
We were both surprised.
Yeah, and it was fantastic.
This was a delight.
dan friesen
I love this, and I think we'll do more of these intermittently in the future.
But I think if we want to summate.
What we learned.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
I come away with only one thing.
jordan holmes
What's that?
dan friesen
First of all.
jordan holmes
Well, if you say first of all, that means you didn't come away with only one thing.
dan friesen
I think it's two things.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
One, did Rudy Giuliani do that bumper?
jordan holmes
He did not!
dan friesen
It's so...
jordan holmes
He did not.
dan friesen
It's going to plague me.
jordan holmes
It is a nightmare.
dan friesen
That question is going to...
jordan holmes
You're going to have to go back and listen to more Roger Stone episodes in order to make sure that...
dan friesen
I'm going to have to call Rudy.
jordan holmes
Did he ever give his number out on...
dan friesen
He's not Larry Nichols.
Second thing I come away with is I own...
Before this, I don't know a lot of the Proud Boys.
I only know about Based Stickman.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And so hearing about Rufio Pan Man.
jordan holmes
Fantastic.
dan friesen
It makes me so excited about the idea that you just have a word and then a noun and man.
Whatever you have hit somebody with is now you are just blank man.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
dan friesen
It makes me so excited.
I love it so much.
jordan holmes
You know what?
I was fine with it when it was only...
Baystick Man and Rufio Pan Man.
Once we got to New Jersey Weed Man, now I...
That's three.
That's a pattern.
In the scientific method, one and two is still a coincidence, but once you got three, that's a fucking pattern, Dan.
dan friesen
What do you think about Francoise Baguette Man?
Like, Francoise is a French name.
What the fuck am I doing?
unidentified
Raoul!
jordan holmes
What do you think about Short Legs Golf Club Man?
unidentified
Should have been short pants.
jordan holmes
Well, but his legs were too short.
Even when he wears capris, they go far too long.
dan friesen
His legs were too short to kickbox with God.
jordan holmes
Alrighty, Dan.
If you want to find us...
dan friesen
Yeah, we are at knowledgefight.com.
I have not updated that website in a long time.
jordan holmes
Dude, I haven't written anything for a while.
I've been so fucking busy.
dan friesen
Yeah, I know.
jordan holmes
And also, all of my thoughts are...
I seem like...
Like, either of my thoughts are...
dan friesen
Too violent.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
Like, I'm either not putting forth an argument that you can't read somewhere else...
dan friesen
It would just be blood, blood, blood, blood, blood.
jordan holmes
Or I'm putting forth an argument that people would look at and go like...
No, thank you.
dan friesen
And I have not, because a lot of my writing time has been built up in this long-term effort that I'm putting in.
There's no payoff for that right now.
But I appreciate everyone so much who has stuck with us and who still enjoys the show.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
I hope you've enjoyed the Infowars roulette.
But, hey, Jordan.
I've brought you this roulette.
jordan holmes
Well, if you want to find us on Twitter, it's at knowledge underscore fight.
If you want to go to iTunes, go ahead and download, leave a review.
Remind people that we still exist.
We're bad at advertising.
Anyways, I think we all know.
We all know.
Everybody who has listened to this show knows that there's only one man.
Only one man who could make this garbage.
Go fuck yourself, David Knight.
dan friesen
I actually need to rebut you.
jordan holmes
How?
dan friesen
I know that that was one of the worst chapters.
jordan holmes
The most boring!
dan friesen
Because I want to say this.
jordan holmes
He's a demon.
dan friesen
We actually, for the first time ever, two go fuck yourselves.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Go fuck yourself, David Knight.
jordan holmes
For sure.
dan friesen
But then I will also say, go fuck yourself, Owen Schroyer ship in a bottle, man.
jordan holmes
Agree.
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
dan friesen
Get out of that bottle.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
jordan holmes
I'm a first time caller.
unidentified
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
