Today, Dan tells Jordan about the various lawsuits that Alex Jones is dealing with at the moment. They deal with that pretty quickly then get on to greener pastures, like pitching an arson based TV show and cataloging yet more instances of Alex being really stupid.

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 on this case, celebrate National IPA Day and talk about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Indeed.
We are celebrating National IPA Day.
dan friesen
I don't know if it's actually that.
I just saw a sponsored post on Twitter.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Whatever.
jordan holmes
It's a made-up bullshit thing, but fine.
We'll drink...
Every day is National IPA Day if you're an alcoholic like me.
dan friesen
Fair enough.
jordan holmes
There you go.
dan friesen
Fair enough.
jordan holmes
What are we doing?
dan friesen
We're doing a show about Alex Jones here, this podcast that we do.
jordan holmes
Oh, shit.
When did we start doing that?
dan friesen
About two years ago.
Too long.
We've been doing this dumb show.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, I mean, frankly, since I've completely blanked out, what is this show about and why am I here?
dan friesen
You're here because you are a knowledgeable man.
Because you startle easily?
jordan holmes
That is a very good point.
dan friesen
You are the audience surrogate if our audience is very angry about climate change.
That's why you're here.
I'm here because I spend way too much time looking into and researching and just swimming in the pond that is conservative propaganda and con men.
jordan holmes
That sounds like a really interesting show.
dan friesen
It has its moments.
The reviews are in, though.
No one wants to review it because it's too long.
I assume, that's why.
jordan holmes
Probably.
dan friesen
Anyway, today, Jordan, we have an interesting show.
I'm going to be straight up at the jump.
jordan holmes
Straight up!
Now tell me.
dan friesen
Like I'm Paula Abdul and you're MC Scat Cat.
jordan holmes
So you really want to love me forever.
dan friesen
Oh, oh, oh.
I'm going to be straight up and say I think that our episode is going to be okay.
Hopefully good.
But I am not into this episode that I listened to today.
I am not into it.
I did not enjoy it.
jordan holmes
I love so many late night shows.
They always start out with, hey guys, we got a great show for you tonight.
Here's who we got coming up.
I want you to, you would run it and just be like, dude, these people are mediocre.
This is going to be an okay show!
dan friesen
I'd be Colbert coming out.
I think we're going to be alright tonight.
I think it's going to go okay.
jordan holmes
We have a lot of people that you're really not that excited about.
We have Bill Paxton.
Everybody likes Bill Paxton?
Nobody's too excited about Bill Paxton.
Nice transition.
dan friesen
And somebody who we're all excited about.
jordan holmes
Oh, there we go.
Double transition!
dan friesen
Shout out to a new donor.
This is very exciting because I think this gentleman is also from Sweden based on the fact that his last name includes one of those O's with a dash through it.
jordan holmes
Ooh, you can't be having those.
dan friesen
I'm going to guess.
But also that could be any number of languages that aren't necessarily American English.
But very excited also because he sent me a message that included you don't need to respond to this.
unidentified
Which always gets me very excited.
jordan holmes
If you want Dan to respond, just let him know that there's no pressure.
dan friesen
That could help things.
jordan holmes
There's no pressure.
dan friesen
I appreciate everything very much.
Thanks for supporting the show and becoming a policy wonk.
Thank you so much, Christian.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
dan friesen
Thank you.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much, Christian.
dan friesen
We appreciate it.
And if you'd like to support the show, you can go to our website and click the button that says support the show.
That would be appreciated.
Also, some people have been asking about ways that they can donate not on a monthly basis, and I understand that's something that people would maybe appeal to some folks.
jordan holmes
For sure.
dan friesen
Recurring payments is kind of a pain in the ass.
jordan holmes
Not just that, but it's a commitment.
It is something that maybe you forgot was going to be on your bank statement, and if you're like us, if you forget something's going to be on your bank statement, Sometimes you're going to get an overdraft fee.
dan friesen
Sometimes it can be trouble.
And if you are in that camp there, we do have a PayPal you can send a donation to.
And if you are interested in doing that, please just send us a message.
Or I posted it in our Facebook group.
Go home and tell your mother you're brilliant.
I don't want to put it on the show because it's my, like...
Private email.
So anyway, Jordan, today we're going to be going over the August 1st, 2018 episode of the Alex Jones Show.
jordan holmes
Wait, that's in reality.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's in present day.
jordan holmes
That's not good.
dan friesen
Well, I feel like we owe it to the world because Alex is going to court this week.
jordan holmes
From what I've heard, he's melting down.
A lot of people talking.
A lot of people talking.
dan friesen
People talking.
jordan holmes
I'm not supposed to know anything about it, and people are talking so much that I know.
That there's like, he's, whoa boy, that family.
They're gonna get him.
Or they're not going to get him?
dan friesen
He's had his trials beginning, or I believe, I think if I understand correctly, earlier this week he had a motion to get this thing out of court.
Dismiss.
A motion to dismiss hearing that I don't think is going to work out.
The lawyers, I've read a bunch of articles about this, and from what I can tell, the lawyers' arguments seem to boil down to, like, do you remember...
When he was last on trial...
unidentified
It's great that we're talking about a guy where...
jordan holmes
Last trial on Alex Jones!
dan friesen
The last time he had to present himself as a performance artist in order...
To have his on-air rants not be admissible in court in his child custody case.
jordan holmes
I'm just a joker.
Nobody would believe me.
dan friesen
Right, and it's important for his lawyers to draw that line because if he's not playing a character and that really is him on air, then it's relevant to how he acts off-air.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And so he had to walk that really fine line of, like, I'm performing, but I also really mean this.
jordan holmes
I'm also real, but I'm doing this in a way, but I also believe it.
dan friesen
He has to walk that incredibly fine line in order to...
Not alienate his audience, but at the same time not put him in the hopper where his videos can be played in court.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Because that would not go well for a jury.
That would be tough.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So now the new struggle and the new line that he's having to walk, or his lawyers are, is really interesting to me.
And it is a thing where he has to still act like he knows things.
For his audience's sake.
Right.
But at the same time, his lawyers have to argue that no reasonable person would believe that he's telling the truth.
jordan holmes
Alright, well then you do want him to play his videos in court.
dan friesen
Yeah, that would help their case.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that would help their case immensely.
dan friesen
Just screaming nonsense.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, no, well, this isn't true.
His lawyers debunk him in court.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly!
dan friesen
And one of the issues with that is that one of the main parts of the Sandy Hook family's argument and their claim is that he's put them at risk because of things like that lady who was threatening Mr. Posner because she watched InfoWars and believed him to be a crisis actor.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
And so in order to get them off the hook for influencing her, they have to paint her as the crazy one.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
She's crazy because she believed this.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
But if you make that argument full-throatedly, then you're leaving it so like, oh, no one should believe anything he says.
So he has to walk this really fine line.
And I think that's fascinating because...
What all of these cases...
I don't think this is intentional, but it's going to build up a body of weird lines he's had to walk in court.
So we already know that he has to walk the line of performance and reality.
Now he's having to walk the line of, you shouldn't believe me.
Why do you believe me?
But you should totally believe me.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Then the other case that's pending, and I believe this one also had a hearing...
as the Parkland shooter.
Alex Jones and Kit Daniels, one of Alex's reporters, are being sued because they misrepresented this guy as the shooter because he had like an Antifa shirt on or like a communism shirt on.
And so they use that to try and conflate this guy with the actual Nicholas Cruz, the shooter.
And the due diligence that any journalistic outfit would have done is reverse image search this and find out it's not the same guy.
Never report this.
Alex, an infoworker.
We were reporting on the reporting done by...
jordan holmes
4chan.
dan friesen
Which opens up another really troubling possibility that was in one of the articles I was reading.
I think it's a really good point.
And if that's acceptable, then any Infowars reporter could anonymously post something on 4chan and then report it as if it's news.
There's a self-creating mechanism you've established here if you allow that sort of thing.
jordan holmes
So I assume it will be allowed.
dan friesen
Probably.
So the reason I bring up that case is the line he's going to have to walk there is like, am I really a journalist at all?
Do I have the protections of journalism or am I just a dickhole yelling?
I don't know.
I don't know how it's going to work out.
We can't be an Alex Jones podcast and not sort of dive into this a little bit.
jordan holmes
Yeah, of course.
dan friesen
So, I'm sorry, go ahead.
jordan holmes
Here's my short analysis of this.
One, no, no reasonable person would believe what he's saying.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Which protects him from the consequences of saying that no reasonable person would believe what he's saying because the people who believe what he's saying are unreasonable and therefore are going to make any excuse to continue believing what he's saying.
dan friesen
It's kind of an Ouroboros.
jordan holmes
So, you know.
No reasonable person would believe this.
And that's because the truth is unreasonable.
And there you go.
unidentified
Done.
Solved.
dan friesen
Yeah, and in the same way that he had to give an apology to Hamdi Ulukaya and James Elephantus, he had to post these videos of him apologizing and being like, I never meant to imply they did all the things I said they did.
And then all of his listeners are like, oh yeah, he just had to do that.
jordan holmes
And he's going to have to do this.
dan friesen
Right.
So at the end of the day, I hope that the people who were wronged by I really don't see how this is going to really negatively affect him with the people who are already on board.
Because what you said, they're unreasonable.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
So, who knows?
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
What if the prosecution just called a bunch of Alex Jones listeners as witnesses and just started asking them questions?
dan friesen
Oh, man.
jordan holmes
Man, that would convince anybody that no reasonable person would listen to Alex Jones.
dan friesen
Yeah, but then if you...
I don't know what that means.
jordan holmes
God damn it!
Why am I running the defense for Alex?
dan friesen
But I don't know what that means.
Like, if you establish in court that he doesn't have any responsibility because no reasonable person would believe him, then where does that leave you?
That leaves him free to say anything he wants at that point.
That's not good.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
I don't know.
I don't know how it's going to play out, but...
jordan holmes
I don't know.
The Seth Rich case that was just defeated...
Fox News.
Against them.
Kind of gives me kind of like a clearer idea of where this is going to go.
dan friesen
Not great.
jordan holmes
Everybody's like, yeah, we agree.
They fucked you over.
But surprise, nothing that the justice system can do for you.
So the justice system is inherently incapable of...
Addressing unjust situations.
dan friesen
And that's the real nightmare, is Alex Jones goes to court against Sandy Hook families and somehow isn't in the wrong.
You never want to open up that possibility as, like, this is a potential outcome of this.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Because then he has years and years of, ha-ha, I beat the Sandy Hook families in court.
Right.
It's not a good brag.
jordan holmes
So what we're going for...
In our show, is if we were ever to be sued, our defense lawyers would say, no unreasonable person would listen to these people.
dan friesen
Then we're screwed.
jordan holmes
No, no, no, that's the trick.
That way I can continue to call for violence.
However, because our show is so inherently reasonable...
dan friesen
They would all reject it.
jordan holmes
They would all reject it, yeah.
All of our listeners know full well that I'm not going to actually wish violence on somebody.
So, we're a listener to perhaps say...
Murder Jeff Bezos in his home and pee in his throat.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
Then we would say, you know, nothing.
We'd be like, look at how reasonable our listeners are.
dan friesen
Even as Alex Jones-ian parody, I don't like this.
So today, Jordan, like I said, August 1st, 2018, here is an out-of-context drop.
alex jones
And Trump is about saying, you're powerful, you're beautiful, you're an overcomer, you're amazing.
That's so Christ-like.
I mean, my gut goes, Trump.
Trump.
dan friesen
Trump is Christ-like.
That's excessive.
jordan holmes
I think it's more like he needs to eat better.
dan friesen
Yeah, oh yeah.
jordan holmes
If your gut is going Trump.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Even if it's saying another word, just going, uh, then no.
You gotta try fiber.
Try fiber.
dan friesen
Unless you're like Jay Sherman from The Critic.
Peas.
jordan holmes
Is it peas?
unidentified
I don't remember what his stomach says.
jordan holmes
Dude, I don't care.
I love that show so much.
dan friesen
It's a great show.
jordan holmes
Cookie puss, I will eat your soul.
dan friesen
That is a great show.
Unlike Alex Jones on August 1st.
This is rough.
So, the first clip we're going to play here right at the beginning of Alex's episode.
He's complaining about how even Fox News is attacking him.
And that's a concerted effort.
Obviously, it's a character assassination job.
And we'll see where he goes from there.
alex jones
One of their morning shows viciously lie about me.
For ten minutes this morning, America's newsroom, trying to outdo MSNBC.
I guess the young ladies on the program, we've got the clip, we may play it later, are just absolutely living on their own planet.
And of course, they'll never actually show what I've said.
They'll actually never show what I'm doing.
jordan holmes
What I'm doing.
alex jones
They just sit there and regurgitate the same anti-free speech, anti-gun garbage.
jordan holmes
What garbage?
alex jones
No matter how many times I clarify or how many times I apologize for the media misrepresenting or how many times I reach out to the families, you see the very people on the news saying, he won't stop attacking us, he won't quit.
dan friesen
So the issue here is that Alex has, in more recent days, He said that he believes that Sandy Hook was real, which is all good and well.
But what he doesn't do is ever say, I did say it was fake.
He pretends that he never said that, and what people take issue with is the damage that was done because of his actions in the past.
They're not saying, oh, you keep saying it's fake, although he did for a really long time, and just because he says no one ever plays clips.
jordan holmes
I wonder if we're going to play the clip again.
dan friesen
Here's one.
alex jones
Also, was Oregon a false flag like Newtown?
dan friesen
Well, there's a...
jordan holmes
There's one?
dan friesen
There's a definite, you know, he's saying it's a false flag.
All right, cool, cool, cool.
So the other issue in that clip that I take very, very serious issue with is the way he presents it as like, I've apologized.
But what he doesn't say is, I've apologized for what I did.
He says, I apologize for what the media lies about.
jordan holmes
I had just written that down.
I had just written down.
Apologize for the media misrepresenting.
I was like, ah, no, hold on.
dan friesen
He does that all the time.
Like, in that video that he put out trying to reach out to these Sandy Hook families, it was all about, I'm sorry that the media has hurt you with lying about me.
Which is so manipulative, so evil.
It's next level irresponsible.
Sure.
I think it's great that he no longer gets on air and says, no kids died there.
I think that's wonderful.
It's not good that it's the end result of a journey.
You should probably have started there.
jordan holmes
That'd be a good place to start.
dan friesen
Possibly.
But it's really, it's just a bummer, man.
It's a real serious bummer that he refuses to own up to and accept what he was a part of.
That's it.
That's the conversation that people are mad about.
And the fact that he won't...
Like, it would hurt him not at all to come on air in any of the times that he's done his fake apologies and just say, we fucked up.
We fucked up.
You know?
We thought...
We thought we saw something that we didn't see.
We thought Anderson Cooper's nose disappeared because of a green screen, but it turns out it's compression error that's only in one version of the video.
It doesn't happen in high-res versions of the video.
We found that stuff out, and everything isn't as suspicious as we thought.
Rob Doe's dad didn't say the thing, or his uncle didn't say the things that we were saying that he said about investigating Sandy Hook and how he thinks it's a cover-up.
All this, look, we fucked up.
People fuck up from time to time.
We're sorry.
We'll do better in the future.
That's all he ever would have had to say.
No one would sue him.
He'd be in the clear.
I bet he could say that now and make this all go away.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And he won't.
I don't understand why.
jordan holmes
100% agree.
dan friesen
I don't understand why.
jordan holmes
What do you mean you don't understand why?
dan friesen
Well, I know ego and all that shit.
jordan holmes
There you go.
Problem solved.
dan friesen
But I still don't understand.
jordan holmes
Slice it there.
dan friesen
I don't understand why people can't just accept like, eh, we fucked up on that one.
jordan holmes
Because he can't.
He's not a guy.
He's...
It is a fundamental issue with hubris that it cannot be defeated by the person experiencing it.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's the whole point of the word is only used for people who cannot help but fall deathly into their fucking sickness.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Like, it's what's going to happen.
It's fascinating.
dan friesen
Hosted on his own petard, as it were.
So in this next clip, he just sort of repeats the theme of his own self-defense, which is really, really weak.
alex jones
So they tried to ridicule and demonize us and lie about us once they figured out people were listening, but it's way too late.
jordan holmes
Ha, that's true.
alex jones
And that's why every channel, including Fox News, with Bill Hemmer.
Is up there just spewing total, absolute lies about me.
And never showing a clip of what I've said.
Never showing any proof of what I've done.
That's always a little tell-tale sign for you.
And all the fake faux outrage.
We've got a low-res copy.
We're going to find a good one.
Thanks.
And it's just illustrative of how these frauds work.
dan friesen
So, I mean, that was just a little bit of an off-air conversation on air.
And again, he's complaining that no one plays clips.
unidentified
Whoops.
alex jones
Sandy Hook is a synthetic, completely fake, with actors, in my view, manufactured.
I couldn't believe it at first.
I knew they had actors there, clearly, but I thought they killed some real kids.
And it just shows how bold they are, that they clearly...
I mean, they even ended up using photos of kids killed in mass shootings here in a fake mass shooting in Turkey.
So, yeah, or Pakistan.
The sky is now the limit.
dan friesen
So, if any of you are interested in any of those specific pieces of bullshit that he's spitting, go ahead and look into them.
They're all lies.
So, Alex, I know that one of the things that he's really comfortable with is that that's outside the statute of limitations.
That was in January of 2015.
He knows he can't be punished for that.
So, denying that he said any of these things is going to play fine.
He knows that that can only be used as circumstantially trying to prove that...
Current statements that he's made is a continuation of him saying that this is fake.
jordan holmes
That's right.
That's why, when we first talked about the lawsuit, that was your big deal, is that the issue is that there's a statute of limitations on this, and so all the good stuff they can't use.
dan friesen
But they can.
jordan holmes
But they can't use it the way that it should be used.
dan friesen
They can, but only if the court establishes that his statements that fall within the statute of limitations illustrate...
Like, an intent to say it was fake.
And then these past things, they still can't be, like, you can't sue him for that clip.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But they can be used to establish a pattern and intent.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, I mean, it's just bullshit.
I mean, it's the most cowardly thing in the world.
Like, you know that you said that, Alex.
You know that you've said stuff like that over and over again.
It's not, this isn't any, this isn't a surprise.
You've had Steve Pachanek on constantly talking about how it was fake, even this year.
Steve Pachenik has been on his show.
jordan holmes
This year?
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's right!
He has!
And he fucking...
He said it again!
dan friesen
And he said that Alex has probably, like, been threatened into saying that it's not fake.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, so, I mean, I don't know.
Look, I...
jordan holmes
And Alex had to do the whole, like, waffle, like, well, I mean, there's a lot of...
And then he just bailed.
He just punted on the whole thing.
dan friesen
And then he moved Steve Pachenik down to the...
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
You won't get to hang out with Owen Troyer and David Knight now.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
I don't want to talk to you for a bit.
You're in the doghouse.
jordan holmes
Or the Hurricane House, as it were.
dan friesen
So that was excessive, but I just wanted to...
While Alex is complaining that other people don't play clips and don't show these things, I know that we've played those clips before, but in case you haven't heard those episodes, we do.
And that is why he will never fuck with us.
Because he can't use that argument.
Anyway, a lot of this episode is him talking about Google being evil.
jordan holmes
Agreed!
dan friesen
Fair enough.
jordan holmes
Yeah, we're all on board.
Good for you!
Oh, did you just get there?
dan friesen
Not going to take too much issue with that.
But here is a clip that goes into some weird places after he is complaining about Google.
alex jones
Google?
It was set up by the NSA, the CIA, and DARPA, and was supposedly a utility of American internet to promote freedom worldwide.
But America's been captured, so now it is a globalist tool.
And the president is getting informed and educated about this, and that's the main reason they're on every channel in the country lying about me today, saying I bully children, and I do all this, and I do all that, and I beat up a transgender kid, and they don't show you where or when.
It's all lies.
dan friesen
So that was from the video that got taken down from YouTube, the one about the drag queens and stuff like that.
In an article in Daily Dot, they said that he was attacking children, but they made it very clear that that wasn't talking about the video of the guy who attacks a child that also got taken down from YouTube.
They make it clear that he is attacking these trans children in that clip, and they don't say that he's physically attacking them or beating them up.
He is attacking them in that clip.
He is coming at kids pretty hard.
jordan holmes
Once again, in Alex's defense, if they were saying what he was saying, they would be lies.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Unfortunately, they are not saying what he says they're saying, so they're telling the truth.
dan friesen
Yep, it's all straw man shit.
It's so boring.
jordan holmes
Pathetic.
alex jones
They've been green-lighted with propaganda like you only see before they invade an innocent country.
This is war drum-level beating.
That has now reached the level Trump was being attacked during the campaign.
I am now as demonized as the president.
And they want to turn the president against me and my audience and then have you turn against him.
jordan holmes
I'd be fine with that.
alex jones
Even if the president ever needs to throw me under the bus, I say go ahead and do it, sir.
But I don't think it's a smart move, and I think you already know that.
Because they'll just keep misrepresenting and keep misrepresenting.
The president and others are being informed about this entire attack profile and how they're going to use it in a major campaign, not just in 2018, but 2020.
They're going to run against Trump on Alex Jones.
I can already see this in the tea leaves.
Some high-level folks in the Pentagon, the CIA, they concur and are fully aware of this.
And they're not just going to try to take the president out with this.
They're going to try to take the entire First Amendment out.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Excessive, perhaps.
jordan holmes
That was the first start.
dan friesen
The First Amendment part, bull hockey, I would say.
jordan holmes
Could be.
dan friesen
Could be.
But the idea that he needs to consult with CIA agents about whether or not people are going to use Alex Jones against Trump in elections.
No fucking shit they are.
You are the clown.
Like, if there is somebody who's worse than Trump, I guess maybe not worse.
jordan holmes
No, I'm going to go with Trump is surprisingly worse than Alex Jones.
And not just in relative terms to power.
I mean, just as a human being.
dan friesen
No, I agree.
jordan holmes
I think Alex might actually be an okay father.
No, I don't think that's the case.
dan friesen
Alex is worse at this.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
Like, Trump is at least a little bit media-savvy and what have you.
Like, he's able to spin things that are negative about him into positive somehow.
jordan holmes
And he's transcended it by now just deciding that rather than being media-savvy, he's just going to remove all media but his own.
dan friesen
Right, right.
Whereas Alex just is like kind of angry and combative whenever things are not going great.
And miraculously, it seemed to work, but he doesn't win these things.
He just doesn't lose.
somehow.
unidentified
It's a push.
dan friesen
It's this weird, unsatisfying gamble.
At the poker table, when you're like, you both have ace-jack, or whatever, and you're splitting the board.
You thought you were going to win hundreds of dollars on a hand, and then all of a sudden, nope.
unidentified
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
That's what it is with Alex.
He's taking these gambles and screaming about how everyone's coming after him.
And then he ends up in court and has to do an apology.
jordan holmes
And it's a tie.
Alex is the perpetual tie.
dan friesen
It's just deflation over and over again.
It's a balloon that's being inflated.
It's like, oh my god, this is going to blow up.
This is going to be crazy.
And then just a slow deflation of the balloon.
No tension release at all.
Just so disappointing.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
You know what?
What he said, though, has kind of made me view something a little bit differently.
What is he doing?
What is he doing when he's saying that if Trump needs to throw him under the bus, then he's fine with it?
Has he started to believe his own bullshit on this?
He has to know that Trump is a pile of shit, right?
dan friesen
Well, he's trying to, I think...
I think that, yes.
The short answer, he does believe his own bullshit.
jordan holmes
Yeah, because there's no way...
But that's not the Alex that I know.
That's not blustery.
That's not I'm the last...
unidentified
No, that is blustery.
jordan holmes
No, no, I mean, that's not like I'm the last bulwark against this.
That's not like they're trying to take me down.
It's like...
He's subservient in a way that I don't find acceptable from Alex.
dan friesen
Are you kidding?
jordan holmes
I don't!
dan friesen
He said he would die for Trump.
jordan holmes
I know, but he also said that he had ISIS up his dirty asshole.
I'm hoping for...
Where's the Alex, man?
dan friesen
This guy's all over the place.
jordan holmes
This is pathetic!
This is why I hate modern days, because Alex is a fucking dog with his tail between his legs.
He's pathetic!
dan friesen
I will say that there is a moment that is coming up where Alex shows a tiny bit of backbone, but it goes away.
Pretty quickly.
And it's actually really pretty funny.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
It's one of the few things in this episode that I was like, ho-ho-ho!
Oh, Nelly.
So, in this next clip, Alex talks about Google and how they're helping China.
jordan holmes
Oh, so he actually read the Intercept piece.
dan friesen
I think he read the headline.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Not sure he read the entire article.
Fair.
I mean, yeah.
Again, fair play.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
No, we're all on board.
Google's evil.
dan friesen
Good call.
But he's like, okay, so China's doing all this evil stuff and Google is helping them.
And then everybody's response is, they're a private company.
They can do what they want.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And then he extrapolates from there in a rather unfortunate way.
alex jones
There's the response.
Well, they're a private company.
You know, if Google wants to go over to China and...
Help find out where Falun Gong are, who are practicing Buddhism secretly, and have them taken to facilities and have their organs harvested.
That's a good thing.
Hell, then why not say Hitler was a private company?
Well, he was.
The Nazis were a private, corrupt, evil company.
So, it's a private company.
You know, Hitler can do what he wants.
They'll probably have the New York Times tomorrow.
Jones says, Hitler can do what he wants.
You damn liars.
You scum.
That's what they do, man.
Most of the stuff you see isn't in quotes, or it's like one-word quotes.
Then another word quotes, which they think the public doesn't understand.
That means they're taking words like refrigerator magnet game, different words, and putting them together.
jordan holmes
Never seen you do that.
dan friesen
Oh, never.
Also, the New York Times did not say that Alex says Hitler can do whatever he wants.
So we can report on that.
unidentified
Can we?
dan friesen
Yeah, they didn't take the bait on that one.
Those damn liars.
jordan holmes
Admittedly, the New York Times has not replied for comment at time of pressing.
So we can't be sure.
dan friesen
Alex is fucking up that metaphor.
jordan holmes
Also, didn't he just make a perfect argument against capitalism?
dan friesen
Big time.
Also, he fucked up the metaphor or the simile because what it would be is like, okay, so Google is helping China who are doing horrible things.
That doesn't make Hitler the company.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
That makes Hitler China in that equation.
And people who helped the Nazis, like George Bush's dad.
jordan holmes
Or Siemens.
dan friesen
Or Fred Koch's dad.
Or Fred Koch himself, excuse me.
These people who helped the Nazis, they are the ones who you should...
You know, reflect with Google, as opposed to Hitler himself.
jordan holmes
So it's almost like...
dan friesen
This is me being an English teacher.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
No, I understand.
It bothers me when people mess up...
jordan holmes
No, it was a terrible metaphor that didn't make any sense.
dan friesen
That's why Alex couldn't pass the fucking ACT.
jordan holmes
Although, on the other hand...
dan friesen
SAT?
jordan holmes
Both.
You can't pass or fail either of those.
They're just relative benchmarks.
dan friesen
You can in my book.
jordan holmes
Okay, fair enough.
But if you do want to say that his metaphor was good...
And you start talking about governments as private contractors because essentially what they're supposed to be is...
dan friesen
That makes the UN OSHA.
jordan holmes
It's essentially supposed to be an extrapolation of the public good.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
And instead, it is acting as its own private contractor, which you could consider our government to be doing at this point in time.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Because they're not really...
Because they're what?
They're not even for-profit now?
They're just funneling things to for-profit companies?
So you could say that the government has now functionally taken over the part of the middleman between private companies and what we would call human beings.
And you would say that if they're acting as a private contractor and they're acting illegally...
Or perhaps hatefully or, you know, propping up, God, I don't know how many regimes like Saudi Arabia funding weapons that they're sending to use in the fight against Yemen.
And the Qatar bullshit is beyond reasonable.
and you could say that perhaps that is the function of capitalism to disregard human life and instead to fucking maximize profits over every goddamn thing else.
So Alex has made a perfect point to why we should abolish the one thing.
unidentified
Ding, ding, ding.
jordan holmes
God, I hate him.
dan friesen
He's really dumb.
And this next clip is also pretty dumb.
alex jones
And then they got the young people of China to kill at least 30 million people by hand, including their own parents.
And then another...
40 million starved to death.
And then that was just under Mao.
And then David Rockefeller wrote in the New York Times when Mao died.
You can just type in David Rockefeller editorial praising Mao.
Click images.
It'll come up.
dan friesen
Why are you clicking images?
alex jones
Google's buried it.
You can still find it.
jordan holmes
Pretty sure it's on the first page.
alex jones
And he's like praising somebody that killed.
dan friesen
So, go to Google right now.
jordan holmes
Don't click images, though.
dan friesen
No, just safe search off, because then you get the nudie version of it.
So you Google David Rockefeller.
I don't know if you Google Alex's...
Clearly he doesn't know the name of the article.
Right.
The editorial is called From a China Traveler.
We know this because we went over it.
jordan holmes
Because we've gone over this.
dan friesen
In the endgame coverage and what have you.
You Google it.
It's the first thing that fucking comes up.
From a China Traveler.
Oh, the New York Times even still has it posted.
It's the number one response on here.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but that's the New York Times.
Google is suppressing it.
dan friesen
Oh my god, there's so many other versions of it that have been posted here, and then also a bunch of really weird conspiracy theory sites that post that.
jordan holmes
Well, good for them.
dan friesen
Yeah, good on them.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
It's all about coverage.
It's all about coverage.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
All publicity is good publicity, Dan.
dan friesen
Also, Alex said that it was when Mao died he wrote that.
That article was written in 1973.
Mao died in 1976.
jordan holmes
Petty.
Petty.
I'm not.
dan friesen
It's not.
That's a substantive thing.
jordan holmes
I know.
dan friesen
So this might be a little petty.
In this next clip, Alex tries to rewrite his own Sandy Hook history.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
And let's see if this passes.
jordan holmes
Does he use crisis actors to demonstrate how different he is now?
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
No?
dan friesen
Well, let's see.
Let's see if he passes any kind of smell test for us.
As people who have watched his transformation over time.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
I entertain people looking at anomalies and things with Sandy Hook.
And then when I found out that some of the anomalies...
We're just that, anomalies.
But I believe that the shooting happened.
But we have so much lying in history by government and others, it's totally normal to be able to question something.
But it doesn't matter.
All these years later, it's then misrepresented what I've said and what I've done in lawsuits and in the news.
But before I was ever sued, I said, you know, I can't say that it's fake.
I think people have a right to question anything they want.
They can say the moon's made of cheese if they want.
dan friesen
True.
jordan holmes
Can they?
alex jones
No mass shootings happen, and they're a bad thing.
They're very rare.
And I just don't like that when people are involved in those type of things, they then become anti-gun and try to tell gun owners that we're to blame.
But see, that hasn't really been a good sales job, telling gun owners you're to blame for what another Prozac head with an illegal gun does.
jordan holmes
Who is also a gun owner.
alex jones
So you can just kind of make it like Alex Jones is saying bad things about the families and the victims of...
Newtown, which isn't true, and then never show the quotes or never show the statements.
Just say it.
You get to recycle the tragedy, the anti-gun tragedy, over and over in the media.
dan friesen
I'd just like to refer everyone back to that clip we just played where he said they were all actors and no one died.
So, fuck you, you pile of shit.
jordan holmes
Not just that nobody died, that he thought some people died, but it was proven that nobody died.
dan friesen
He was convinced that it was all actors.
jordan holmes
It's even worse than if he had just denied it outright.
He then implied that he was convinced.
dan friesen
We've complained about this and gone on this journey.
The reason I say fuck you sincerely from that clip is he's talking about how he later said that it did happen, which is fairly accurate.
He did come around to that eventually, maybe because shit was getting too hot.
That's not the issue.
The issue is you pretend you never did.
That is the issue.
If you just deal with this in reality, you don't have to lie.
That's all.
That's all.
It's infuriating to me.
jordan holmes
You know what's interesting?
By that same logic, though, consider this.
If Trump came out and just was like, I didn't know it was happening, that the Russians were talking to my family, I just found out that it was.
And you know what?
I'm sincerely sorry about that.
That was never my intention to collude with the Russian government.
And I apologize for these people who did it without my knowledge.
dan friesen
No, you can't do that.
jordan holmes
And he said that, like, publicly and sincerely.
dan friesen
No.
Here's why you can't do that.
jordan holmes
Why?
dan friesen
In Alex's case, there's no one but himself that is in, like...
Has the finger pointed at them from his admission?
If Trump were to say that, he would be throwing his family under the bus.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
And he doesn't actually like any of them.
He's a psychopath.
dan friesen
Sure, but that doesn't matter.
That would be an admission that would work against...
These other people that could then flip and be like, he's lying.
jordan holmes
Right, that's true.
dan friesen
I have evidence that he's lying.
jordan holmes
He does have to do the whole cabal thing.
He can't do the...
dan friesen
Whereas all Alex needs to do, like to use Game of Thrones terms, he just needs to bend the knee to the truth.
That's all he has to do.
He just has to be like, I know that I said these things.
I fucked up.
That's all you have to do.
There's no...
Like, I don't want him to go to prison.
I don't want him to...
unidentified
I do.
dan friesen
Well, maybe for other stuff.
I don't want him kicked off air.
I don't want any of that stuff.
jordan holmes
I do.
dan friesen
I want him to come correct.
I want him to be right with the con.
Because you can still lie and defraud people and not...
You don't have to lie this time.
jordan holmes
As we've proved in our Project Camelot episodes.
The problem is that we were just talking about in our last episode when the guy's like, why have so many of us gone to jail?
And it's like, no, you can fraud people.
Yeah, yeah.
Pull it back!
dan friesen
Like Icarus.
These people fly too close to the sun.
jordan holmes
You get greedy with your cons.
dan friesen
Yeah, I mean, that's why Jim Baker went to prison.
jordan holmes
Yeah!
dan friesen
That's why Sean David Morton's in prison.
That's why Mark Richards is in prison.
jordan holmes
Greed.
dan friesen
Right, and I mean, I think there's a cautionary tale for all these con men that's as old as time.
If they studied the pantheon of Western culture that they seem to love so much, there's a lot, a lot in the mythology that could probably help them out with that.
jordan holmes
There's a lot.
You know, it's almost like...
Like, those were some sort of, like, a tale about morality and the way that you should use or not use.
dan friesen
Sort of.
jordan holmes
It's so strange.
It's almost like the past is trying to teach you.
dan friesen
It's very weird.
So, I'm going to skip some of these clips because I think we've pretty much beat the dead horse of Alex's self-defense about the Sandy Hook shit.
Like, he doesn't say anything all that, like, interesting about...
Like, because he knows he's in court.
Like, he knows that...
unidentified
Well, yeah.
jordan holmes
He can't go...
Whole hog.
Right.
dan friesen
So he's just doing this like, hey, you know, what they do is they take one word at a time in quotes to make it look like I said something that I didn't.
No one has any clips of me.
unidentified
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
dan friesen
All this happens.
It's kind of boring.
Let's get past that and get into some juice.
So here he's complaining about Xi Jinping being in Davos a couple years back.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I'm not worried about that.
You should be.
The Davos part I'm fine with?
dan friesen
You should be.
jordan holmes
I think it's the stuff that he's doing now.
dan friesen
Alex doesn't bring that up.
jordan holmes
Oh, he doesn't.
dan friesen
So he went to Davos, right?
And he says that with Trump being this weirdo ding-dong and he's going to abdicate the role of world leader, we'll help out.
That was his sort of take at Davos.
That we'll pick up the slack and try and help with world unity and that sort of thing.
Which Alex, of course, because world unity is a very negative thing for him.
jordan holmes
Xi Jinping has a very different idea of world unity under his rule.
unidentified
Yeah, I'm not thrilled.
jordan holmes
I don't want that world unity.
dan friesen
I'm not thrilled with that picture.
jordan holmes
No, thank you.
Xi, back this one off.
Don't even be...
I don't want you to be part of China's unity.
The way you're treating Taiwan is fucking...
I'm insane.
I don't want none of you!
dan friesen
That's fair.
But that's not where Alex is coming from.
And I really keep this in because he's going out to break and I would say this boy is shook.
alex jones
China's Xi to promote globalization at Davos, not war and poverty.
But then you go, that was before he went.
You can find the quotes where they're declaring war on us and our prosperity and our freedom and have SJWs trained in malice philosophy, which Rockefeller thought was the best.
He funded education.
Ready to man all the computers, all the terminals, all the censorship to be the blue city and blue state cops to suppress everybody.
And they're rolling out a 21st century.
This is World War IV, folks.
This is it.
America's under attack.
The globalists are doing it.
jordan holmes
What?
alex jones
And all I'm trying to do is fight these people.
World War IV?
Did we skip one?
Look how he's getting attacked.
jordan holmes
Was I not looking?
alex jones
We're going to lose everything if people don't stand up and speak out.
And now Fox News behind the scenes is threatening to fire Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity for not attacking me.
dan friesen
All right.
jordan holmes
Wait.
All right.
Wait, that was a sting to the end of that.
unidentified
You guys need to attack Alex Jones or you're fired.
jordan holmes
That's Fox News all up and down.
I've never heard anything more reasonable said about Fox News.
dan friesen
Seems very in line with their editorial positions.
jordan holmes
Listen, you guys.
Essentially, Alex Jones is now.
We need you to attack Alex Jones.
dan friesen
If they were to attack Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Otherwise, we'll fire you for being too Alex Jones.
dan friesen
If they were to attack Alex Jones, legitimately, the only position that they could take is like...
jordan holmes
Plagiarism?
He's too much like us now?
dan friesen
Yeah, exactly.
It would have to be some sort of, like, step off our toes.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
They couldn't attack him on merit.
jordan holmes
Hey!
Quit being racist over there!
That's my job!
dan friesen
We've claimed that space.
jordan holmes
That's ours now!
Yeah!
dan friesen
It's very weird.
jordan holmes
We're the West, and you, Alex, now, are the people that you want the West to trample over.
dan friesen
Alex, you're very full of displacement fears and anxieties about whiteness.
Tucker Carlson has now...
Done possibly a better job because he doesn't yell all the time.
Possibly he's a more palatable face for your racism.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
You have been outdone.
jordan holmes
First off, he shaved.
dan friesen
It's true.
jordan holmes
He doesn't have...
Wait, did Alec shave?
dan friesen
No, no.
Tucker shaved.
jordan holmes
Yeah, Tucker shaved.
dan friesen
He shaved the bow tie.
That was important.
Gotta shave that bow tie, boy.
jordan holmes
Is that where it went?
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
You know, once you shave a bow tie, it doesn't grow back.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's right.
I'm a yes and kind of character.
I like to play improv games.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
dan friesen
I said that's right.
unidentified
You son of a bitch.
dan friesen
Didn't negate you.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry.
You just said it real quick.
That's right.
dan friesen
Play the tape back.
unidentified
I don't think I did.
dan friesen
Anyway, so we move along, and in this next clip, Alex is coming back from break after that.
Yeah.
And he has some words about a gentleman from the UK who sucks.
jordan holmes
No, no, no, no, no.
alex jones
Good news.
jordan holmes
Tony Robinson.
No, I read about this.
alex jones
Has been ordered released from jail.
We're not even sure if that's happened yet.
I'm talking to his folks, getting information as it unfolds.
Because as we said and others pointed out, under common law, under British law, under US law.
jordan holmes
Admiralty.
alex jones
He didn't even have a real hearing.
He was, unless.
And one hour after he was arrested, he was put into prison for saying he covered a trial of Islamic pedophile gangs.
But you didn't even cover it.
I mean, you're not supposed to go inside and say what you heard because there's minors or whatever involved to protect the children.
We can't talk about the pedos, of course.
dan friesen
So I have four problems with that, I think.
jordan holmes
Yeah, itemize them.
dan friesen
The first coming at the end, they're like, yeah, yeah, protect the fucking children's identities, you asshole.
That is absolutely just a standard of, like, legal and journalistic integrity.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
You absolutely keep all that shit under wraps.
jordan holmes
Crisis actors.
dan friesen
So that's one.
He's scoffing about the idea of, like, protecting children who are victims of something's privacy.
jordan holmes
How could you?
dan friesen
Second thing, I don't know why he's bringing up U.S. law.
He's in England.
I don't know why he brought that up.
Common law, U.K. law, U.S. law.
U.S. law doesn't come into the equation.
jordan holmes
Brexit law means they have adopted all of our laws.
First Amendment.
Next.
dan friesen
Sweet.
jordan holmes
Next.
dan friesen
Third issue.
jordan holmes
Next.
Two solved.
Crisis actors, U.S. law, Brexit, etc.
Move on.
dan friesen
Third issue is that he's saying that Tommy was put into prison without a hearing, and that's because he had a suspended sentence from another time he was harassing a bunch of Muslims.
And the judge was like, if you do this again, we're going to put you in prison.
We're going to let you off this time, but you have a suspended sentence.
So he did it again.
He got arrested.
You get thrown straight in prison.
You don't need a hearing at that point.
That's basically you've broken parole.
You will go to prison until you get another hearing on that.
You have waived your right to not be put into a cell.
jordan holmes
Fourth Amendment, Dan.
dan friesen
Fair enough.
My fourth problem is the idea that he wasn't covering this stuff.
I mean, I guess I agree with that.
He was rabble-rousing.
jordan holmes
Covering is such a...
The connotation on covering is very different from what he was doing, which is being a giant dick in public.
dan friesen
Right, much like that Logan Robertson character that we met recently.
He was going around and just trying to antagonize Muslims, hoping one attacks him, and then he gets video of it, and he's like, look at these angry, violent Muslims.
jordan holmes
He was doing the lingual version of throwing a brick at somebody's window and then claiming you're the victim whenever they're madding.
dan friesen
Yeah, beating you up.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's like, I mean, I know that Jackass is sort of the touchstone of prank shows.
Even they wouldn't do something like that.
alex jones
No.
dan friesen
Even they wouldn't be like, okay, we're going to fuck with people and then pretend that we weren't fucked with.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's so ridiculous.
So those are my four issues.
I think you've beat down three of them, but one stance.
jordan holmes
One stance.
Not much I can do about that.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
16th Amendment?
dan friesen
Is that the one about booze?
That was the 18th, right?
Yeah, I don't remember the numbers.
So, at this point, we've seen a little bit of bullshit, a little bit of nonsense.
Mostly, he's talked about China for a lot of this.
Right.
Not in any substantive way.
He's not talking...
He does bring up The Intercept.
jordan holmes
Yeah, of course.
dan friesen
He does bring up Greenwald, but he doesn't talk about the specifics of things.
He just talks about, like, of course, I already knew this.
I had secret documents.
unidentified
Right, right, right, right.
dan friesen
I had secret documents talking about how they're gonna...
You know, like, China now has control of the entire cloud.
So he's bringing in his old false narratives in order to tie into new revelations that are pressing from more reputable sources than him.
He's trying to combine his past narratives into newer, fresher meat.
And so he spends a lot of time on that and then just screaming about the Falun Gong.
And fair enough, but why don't you ever talk about the Rohingya?
Like, where do you draw the line?
What's the issue?
Like, where is...
jordan holmes
Political expedience.
dan friesen
Whose victimhood do you care about, Alex?
White.
unidentified
Well, no, because the...
jordan holmes
No, no, no, I know.
I mean, like, at the end, that's the whole reason that this is just a throwaway.
dan friesen
No, he talks about that a lot.
He talks about the Falun Gong a lot.
jordan holmes
He talks about the Falun Gong a lot?
dan friesen
But I ask that rhetorically, essentially.
It's because they're in China.
He hates China, and so he...
Some victimized group in China gets precedence over some Muslims who are being slaughtered somewhere else in a country that he doesn't have a vested interest in trying to demonize.
So anyway.
jordan holmes
We talked about that intercept, or we texted a little bit about it, and your response I found to be much more direct and apt and, I would say, better than mine, which was, your response was like, yeah, duh.
dan friesen
I needed a dir kind of emoji.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I read the Intercept article and I was like, Jesus, I can't believe they're actually building this app that will be Google but will censor everything on its own.
And then you said, yeah, of course they are.
And I was like, oh yeah, of course they are.
Why would I ever consider that they wouldn't be?
dan friesen
Well, because you remember the true version of what Alex lies about in terms of the cloud keys and stuff like that.
The real version of that is that they've given the Chinese government the cloud keys over Chinese users.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
People within the country of China, and that is an incredibly oppressive tool that could be used by the government against the citizens.
unidentified
Right.
Already.
dan friesen
The fact that people came out and were like, this is a really messed up thing for them to do, and Google was like, we don't give a shit.
That leads me to believe any time I hear something like this that has some credible backing to it...
Yeah, no shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no shit.
dan friesen
Google wants money.
A moral outfit that, you know...
jordan holmes
It's a huge market.
dan friesen
But at the same time, I don't think that that means that they're going to deploy this version of it in China in order to get it back here.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
I don't think that that's reasonable in any way.
jordan holmes
Not until Xi Jinping unifies the world.
dan friesen
Well, yes.
jordan holmes
In which case, we're in trouble.
dan friesen
Right.
At that point, you just get some dragons.
Right.
Takes over...
All of the rest of the world.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
I've been brushing back up on Game of Thrones.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Had to take a break from this horror and watch The Red Wedding while we were talking?
dan friesen
Something like that.
unidentified
So...
jordan holmes
That's...
What's great about that is that just today...
dan friesen
You mean me watching Game of Thrones?
jordan holmes
No, no, no, no.
Him talking about China...
China?
China is that...
Just today...
An 80-year-old, not activist, but, like, fucking critic of the...
dan friesen
Jay Sherman?
jordan holmes
No, unfortunately.
He didn't make it to 80. He died of heart disease at 74. Rest in peace.
Yeah, for sure.
Hated it.
dan friesen
Did you hear that Duke Phillips became president in 2016?
unidentified
He did!
It was based on him!
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
We're the bears that sing for Duke.
All right, let's just turn this into a critic reference show.
jordan holmes
So good.
dan friesen
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to derail you.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
dan friesen
You said an 84-year-old activist?
jordan holmes
80-year-old dude in China was giving an interview to a website and was literally arrested.
During the middle of the interview.
They actually went to his place and fucking placed him under house arrest.
His last words to the interview were like, Hey, I'm allowed to do this, right?
And then it was cut off.
That's the situation that we're talking about with Google's search results.
It is absolutely immoral and insane for them to actually...
Do this, but why would we expect anything else?
dan friesen
No, totally.
jordan holmes
Why in God's name would you expect a massive corporation that is global, that has no allegiance to any nation or anything like that, and is purely about making profit, which is what it is supposed to do, why would we ever imagine that they would take a fucking stand?
dan friesen
There's no piece where morality affects your stocks.
So why would any business really care all that much about it?
jordan holmes
I mean, my best go is, like, I don't order anything from Amazon.
Like, I don't want Jeff Bezos to have another fucking dime from me.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Like, that means anything.
dan friesen
Yeah.
But more to the point, what you're saying is, like, and I agree with this, and I think this is a better thing, is that, like, there are real problems with China and the way they behave.
And stuff like that, in terms of human freedom, in terms of the kind of world we would like everyone to be allowed to live in.
And it does a disservice to them when Alex lies about these things.
Because the serious issue is undercut by the things that he's lying about.
And he's just bullshitting and screaming in order to make himself elevated as a truth-teller or whatever.
And that's a theme that's going to play out, and it has played out, over...
This podcast's entire history.
Alex Jones does a disservice to real serious issues by lying about them.
He pretends he's on the right side of it, and he's against China because he loves liberty, but that conversation could be much better served by people who have nuanced thoughts about it, who don't scream all the time, don't yell that this is World War IV, America is under attack, that sort of thing.
jordan holmes
What was World War III, though?
dan friesen
Don't worry about it.
Probably Cold War.
I don't know.
Who knows?
I don't know.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
I kind of want to know, though.
dan friesen
There's a secret World War III.
jordan holmes
See, I want to know what he thinks World War III is.
I don't want to know what World War III was.
I want to know what he thinks it was.
dan friesen
I kind of know, but I can't really articulate it.
jordan holmes
It's just a general vibe.
It was just the World War III vibe.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's like a behind-the-scenes world war that's been going on for, I don't know.
jordan holmes
And then there was an armistice.
dan friesen
It ended with Trump.
jordan holmes
It ended with Trump.
But then they started World War IV after Trump.
dan friesen
Trump reached rapprochement.
I just like saying that word.
jordan holmes
I know.
You've said it quite a bit recently.
dan friesen
He found detente and then war broke out again.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
It was arbitrage?
I don't know.
dan friesen
I think I've heard some decently eloquent people who aren't crazy make the point that you could argue that something like the Cold War was a world war that we just weren't.
You know, because there were the surrogate wars that happened.
Well, yeah.
jordan holmes
Wars did occur all across the...
unidentified
Proxy wars.
jordan holmes
That were proxy wars.
So, yeah, you could say that.
dan friesen
People can make that argument in fair play to them.
We're not in World War IV right now.
jordan holmes
No.
Hopefully we will be soon.
dan friesen
Fingers crossed.
And if we are, it's because of this.
What the globalists are doing.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
alex jones
The globalists have demographically bet on...
Communist China and radical Islam just because of demographic numbers.
jordan holmes
Demographic.
alex jones
They're not trying to get another earpiece during the break.
This has been doing this for two days.
It just keeps popping out.
I don't know what's going on.
Excuse me.
Just keep forgetting to ask for that, so I'm going to ask now.
dan friesen
Fair.
alex jones
So, demographically, they have decided to make this move.
It's been done.
We've been sold out.
And then Trump's in there valiantly trying to fix it without getting too extreme because that could tank the stock market if he said...
Ladies and gentlemen, our entire government database was given to China.
All our secrets were wide open.
They have way more industrial might than we do.
We've been totally sold out.
They've got their operatives in charge of almost every university.
The Council on Foreign Relations directs it.
America is basically in a horrible position.
jordan holmes
Well, we are now, but that's because of Trump.
dan friesen
You know, it's another horrible position.
Fucking trade war.
jordan holmes
Oh.
I thought it was reverse missionary.
dan friesen
No, that's a bad position, too.
He goes on to scream about, like, we gave them the Panama Canal.
jordan holmes
We gave them that canal.
dan friesen
Look into that.
jordan holmes
We gave it to them.
dan friesen
Private businesses selling off land around is such bullshit.
jordan holmes
We gave it to them.
dan friesen
It's just like all of this stuff.
We already talked about on a past episode the idea that they run all the universities.
There's just a Chinese center that's very sketchy on a lot of universities.
That's not they run the university.
Oh, they're implanted and running it.
That's not what's going on.
Again, it's the same thing.
It's like if you look at the truth of that situation, which I apologize, I don't have all the information in front of me because we went over it before.
You look at that and it's like, oh, yeah, this is weird.
This is weird.
And the reason that universities accept it is because they don't have robust Chinese language programs.
And so they accept it because it offers them for free as a service to the school.
jordan holmes
It's great.
dan friesen
And they get hooked into this possibly sketchy group.
jordan holmes
You know, they also have ROTC programs.
dan friesen
It's true.
jordan holmes
Nobody wants to join the fucking military, but, you know, they're going to give us some fucking funding so we can do some shit.
Maybe we should have better funded public universities.
Maybe we wouldn't have this issue, Alex, if we had publicly funded universities.
Or maybe we wouldn't have this issue if the most paid public servants in this fucking country weren't head football coaches at fucking places like that.
Maybe you should all fucking die.
Anytime he says demographically, and then we...
God, that's such the most racist thing you could say.
Demographically, we've been sold out.
dan friesen
Demographically, the bad guys have chose the Chinese and the Muslims.
jordan holmes
Yep.
Who's the demographic...
unidentified
That they...
jordan holmes
Not American.
No.
Because Chinese people and Americans can both be...
Totally.
dan friesen
That's a very compatible...
jordan holmes
It seems like...
Oh, are there Muslim Americans?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
That's also compatible.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Can't be talking about Americans.
jordan holmes
No, it seems like something very specific.
dan friesen
This is foreign to Alex Jones' rhetoric.
jordan holmes
It seems so odd.
Why would you say demographically?
Is he talking about the four quadrants?
Is that it?
dan friesen
You're talking about Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah.
jordan holmes
Not the four corners.
unidentified
Oh, sorry.
jordan holmes
Excuse me.
dan friesen
No, dude, it's all just that displacement fear bullshit.
It's all just white.
unidentified
God, I just want white people to take a break.
jordan holmes
Can we just take a break?
dan friesen
Chill out.
jordan holmes
Let's everybody just relax for a moment.
dan friesen
Take a drink from the hose as if it was a football practice.
Go drink from the hose.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
Just get on over there.
A lot of football talk recently.
dan friesen
Take a knee, white people.
So in this next clip, this is actually really fascinating because I think there's another instance of this later, not the exact same thing, but there's a fascinating thing that Alex does rhetorically wherein he's describing what people do.
He's claiming to be on the business end of it.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
But in the clip, he's actually doing the thing he's accusing other people of doing.
This is remarkable.
Like, I listen to this and I'm like...
jordan holmes
That's high-level Jedi fucking judo right there.
dan friesen
But I really don't think it is.
I don't think he even knows he's doing it.
jordan holmes
Oh, you don't think he knows he's doing it?
dan friesen
I think it's muscle memory.
jordan holmes
You think he's just an instinctive judo prodigy?
dan friesen
Yeah, absolutely.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
We'll see if you agree on the other end of this clip.
unidentified
All right.
alex jones
And the coastal elite, not the people that live there, but the elites...
That just stay there and control it and suck off everybody.
dan friesen
Freezing.
jordan holmes
Suck off everybody?
alex jones
They just have a predatory disdain because we were marked as the enemy.
And one thing about war is you demonize your enemy.
jordan holmes
War!
alex jones
Because most people aren't psychopaths.
They're just mercenary follower cowards.
So they want to believe what they're destroying is bad.
So the universities and Hollywood and the culture is America's bad.
America's evil.
America sucks.
Get rid of America.
Families are bad.
Men and women are bad.
You know, teach your five-year-old how to be gay.
And I'm not attacking people that aren't heterosexual.
But in China, they execute you if you're gay.
dan friesen
So you see what he did there?
That's pretty amazing.
That's like a gymnastic maneuver that he pulled.
jordan holmes
That was astonishing.
dan friesen
Right.
He's even explaining in the clip where this is war, you demonize your enemies.
jordan holmes
People say things like...
Hate the globalists, or liberals are the cause of all of our problems, or we should kill people who are different than us, or every Muslim's a terrorist.
Like, people say these things all the time, and it's just not true.
They're just trying to demonize their enemy.
dan friesen
You don't even have to go that far.
You can just take what he said in that clip.
You know?
They hate the mother and father.
jordan holmes
They think men and women are bad.
Oh, just the very pure, like...
You're demonizing your enemy as we speak.
dan friesen
Yes, absolutely.
jordan holmes
And then blaming other people for demonizing their enemy.
But it's war!
dan friesen
It's war.
jordan holmes
War!
Now we're going to get into news radio.
dan friesen
What is it good for?
What is it good for, Jordan?
jordan holmes
I don't know.
When the super karate monkey death car comes to my hut.
dan friesen
Absolutely nothing.
Your response there is supposed to be, say it again.
jordan holmes
I like doing improv games.
I like doing improv games.
dan friesen
You could have also gone with, huh.
jordan holmes
I would have gone with yes and, but I didn't.
dan friesen
So the rest of this episode is going to veer fairly into pedophilia in Hollywood.
jordan holmes
Great.
dan friesen
Which I'm sorry to jump on you here in the middle of the episode.
But Alex, he knows that he's got to not talk too much about his lawsuits and what have you.
He's got to do what he does best, which is sensationalize real-world issues.
And in doing so, he ends up bringing on a guest that I think is probably going to lead to another lawsuit.
I don't see any way around, like, I don't think this is, like, I don't think what he does at the end of this episode is legal in any way.
Like, I know he keeps prefacing it by saying that, like, I don't know if I should have this guy on.
I don't know if I should let him say these things.
Like, he is, like, at least, you know, being like...
This might be really bad.
jordan holmes
I don't know what the definition of hubris is or whether or not I am flying too close to the sun.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
I am being fucking sued, but what if?
Like, isn't it double jeopardy where you can only be sued one time per day?
Like, you only get one lawsuit against you in your entire life?
dan friesen
Yeah.
So he gets into it here, and then he's going to jump off the topic for a bit and then get back to it.
But this is where it kind of starts.
He wants to brag a bit about his in-depth knowledge of Hollywood.
jordan holmes
All right.
alex jones
If you want the really big role, you've got to screw a 10-year-old.
And you're like, are you joking?
They're like, uh-oh, maybe I am, maybe I'm not.
And you're like, I'm about to kick your ass.
Oh, I'm just joking.
I'm just joking.
Because I've been in Hollywood at A-list parties, which you think are so cool.
There was no oxygen.
They were all unhappy and neurotic.
Everybody's mentally ill.
You couldn't pay me to be around.
That's why I got away from it all.
I thought it was a way to reach out to people.
It's not.
dan friesen
Cool.
alex jones
And folks are like, well, you probably want to get out of here before the kids arrive.
And I'm like, yeah, you're joking around.
They're like, I don't know.
I think it's time for us to go.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
And then, you know, you walk into back rooms at restaurants and it's like, these girls are sure pretty, man, but I think they're about 16 years old, you know?
jordan holmes
What?
alex jones
And that's just, that's out in the open.
jordan holmes
What restaurant?
alex jones
And my soul's like, get out of here.
I don't know.
dan friesen
You don't know.
The back room of the restaurant is very clearly...
jordan holmes
Is that like Benihana's?
dan friesen
No, but it is a callback to anybody who listens to his show and believes his worldview.
That's a callback to the back room of Comet Ping Pong.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's the pizza gate.
dan friesen
The whole thing was that back room where they have parties.
Like where they have birthday parties and stuff like that.
There was something nefarious about that back room.
So him saying the back room of restaurants, while he may not be talking about that, that is what is evoked in the mind of the listener.
Now, what he's describing there as a Hollywood A-list party that he's been to, he tells that story three times on this episode and does not give any more details than what he just said there.
jordan holmes
And I would argue that it more accurately represents the planes that that one dude and Trump were on.
dan friesen
I think that it's some guy wanting Alex to leave a party.
If I have to play Occam's Razor games, I'm gonna say that no one is going to go up to Alex and be like, hey, there's gonna be some kids showing up at this party.
Unless they want him to leave because he's bumming everybody out at this fucking party.
Everybody's trying to have a good time, trying to have some cocktails, and this guy won't stop yelling about Building 7. We've got to get him out of here.
This is a bummer.
jordan holmes
And we can't confront him.
dan friesen
No, because he's going to fight you then.
jordan holmes
Because he's going to freak out.
dan friesen
So we've got to creep him out.
His eyes are going to turn red, and then he's going to be beating your head into the ground until you're in a coma.
He's just going to turn off.
He calls that goblin mode.
jordan holmes
He's called it that?
He is not called it that.
dan friesen
He does on this episode.
jordan holmes
On this episode.
dan friesen
I don't think I have a clip of it.
jordan holmes
I don't think I've ever heard him call it that before.
dan friesen
He calls it goblin mode.
jordan holmes
He watches a lot of movies for somebody who hates Hollywood.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
jordan holmes
Are we talking Lord of the Rings goblins?
Like, what goblins are we talking about?
dan friesen
I don't know any goblins that just beat your head into the ground until you're in a coma and then your dad gets sued.
jordan holmes
Because Lord of the Rings goblins are very industrious.
They're like the analog of the dwarves.
They live underground and mountains and build goblins, like hobgoblins.
They're generally just considered, like, weirder people.
dan friesen
That's why they got the hob at the beginning.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
They're not quite goblins.
They're not quite hobbs.
dan friesen
Hoblin goblins.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
I don't know.
I don't care.
Fine.
I'm sorry.
jordan holmes
I'm very goblin-centric in my thinking.
dan friesen
I'm sorry that I don't really have a lot of thoughts.
jordan holmes
I want to know more about goblins.
dan friesen
We'll do that on another episode.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Because I'm sure that Project Hamelot at some point gets into goblins.
jordan holmes
Sooner or later we're going to have a goblin-centric conversation.
dan friesen
Undoubtedly.
So that clip is foreshadowing for things to come.
But before he gets into the meat of this and possibly runs astray of the law, he has to...
Play a little bit more self-defense.
Because recently, we didn't cover this on an episode, but you can find it on Right Wing Watch, Media Matters, all of them covered it.
Alex got real weird.
And did some finger guns and was threatening Robert Mueller a little bit.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
I heard about that.
dan friesen
Talking about wanting to have a showdown with him politically.
jordan holmes
Politically.
dan friesen
And everybody's like, look at him threatening Robert Mueller.
Like, hey guys, if you really care about that, go back to the clip that we posted where Larry Nichols literally threatened to blackmail him.
unidentified
Like, that's a literal illegal threat that he made on air.
dan friesen
As opposed to this, where Alex can be like, I'm just using metaphors and stuff like that.
But he realizes he's got to talk about that a little bit.
Explain himself.
And what he ends up doing is crazy.
This is so weird.
Because he takes you inside his mind.
What was his mind doing when he said those things?
jordan holmes
That's a good question.
dan friesen
It's so weird.
jordan holmes
I would like to know what his mind was doing.
dan friesen
This is very, very weird.
alex jones
Then there's criticism of Tucker Carlson and others because they said, well, Alex isn't perfect, but a lot of that's out of context.
dan friesen
Nope.
alex jones
You know, my God, look at the stuff that Bill Maher says.
And he says, abort all the babies and he hopes America implodes and he wants to have a depression.
But that's okay.
dan friesen
Well, one thing, no one likes Bill Maher.
No.
He's a blowhard douche.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he sucks.
dan friesen
Yeah, and the other thing is he's a comedian.
jordan holmes
And he's not even a good one.
dan friesen
He's not, but you give him a little bit of a pass, not that he deserves much of one.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
But in terms of those things, he's not saying that literally.
He's using an attempt at humor because he's a comedian.
alex jones
Right.
dan friesen
Anyway.
jordan holmes
Like, it would be like, for instance, if you had your Cernovich right-wing blow-up.
dan friesen
Well, no, no, no, no.
Let me give you a better example.
There's a reason we never talk about, like, Nick DiPaolo on the show, or something like that, you know?
jordan holmes
Oh, is there?
dan friesen
Yeah, he's a comedian.
jordan holmes
Well, he's terrible.
He was pretty good for a while, though.
Yeah.
He was great on Dr. Katz.
He was great on Dr. Katz.
dan friesen
There's a lot of, not a ton, but there are a number of right-wing, leaning comedians, and there's no reason to ever be like, oh, look at what they're doing.
Because most of the time, they're trying to be funny, and they say things that are fucking awful.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But you know that there's an attempt at humor there.
In the same way that, like...
I don't like Bill Maher.
I don't think anyone I know who's on the left likes Bill Maher.
I think they most think he's a shithead.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But he's trying to be funny.
jordan holmes
And Islamophobic master motherfucking shithead.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
And he's a problem.
But, you know...
The statements that he makes about wanting depopulation so there's less traffic, that's just a hacky joke.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
That's just a shitty joke.
He doesn't want to depopulate the world so he has less traffic.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You're acting in bad faith if you take that literally.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's a monologue joke.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Leno probably made that joke 20 years ago.
dan friesen
Probably.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Different delivery.
jordan holmes
There you go.
alex jones
They can all say, kill Trump, kill Trump, kill Trump.
jordan holmes
Kill Trump, kill Trump, kill Trump!
alex jones
Politically, I want to have a political shootout with Robert Mueller.
The last thing I want is Mueller to get hurt.
Turn him into a victim, into a martyr.
dan friesen
There's a reason that his mind went to victim first.
jordan holmes
That's the worst defense.
That's the worst defense.
dan friesen
That's not good.
jordan holmes
I want to kill him, but I can't because then he would turn into a victim.
dan friesen
If I strike him down, he'll become ten times as strong.
jordan holmes
No, you guys don't get it.
I really want to kill him, but I don't want to kill him.
dan friesen
Right.
It's not worth it for me.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But the other thing is the reason that his brain comes up with victim before martyr is because that's what he cherishes.
He cherishes his victim status.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
He doesn't want to become a martyr.
dan friesen
Or his artificial victim status, as it were.
So that's why his mind cooks that up.
jordan holmes
Martyr means he doesn't make money anymore.
alex jones
Everybody knows I'm against offensive violence.
It's not who I am.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
He's for offensive violence, but maybe not offensive violence.
alex jones
But they're always saying I'm violent, so I said, why don't I...
I said a little split-second thing.
I do this a lot.
So it was premeditated, but not really.
It's kind of like a spontaneous, like, love at first sight, hate at first sight.
It was thought out, but like in ten seconds.
It was like...
Mueller makes me so sick, the way he's railroading everybody and having fake trials and breaking the Constitution and spying on Manafort's phone calls in jail with his lawyers, totally illegal.
Gosh, it's so crazy.
jordan holmes
I don't think he's doing any of that.
alex jones
He was involved for ten years with the Alita Express with all these world leaders on it, having sex with, reportedly, his kids as young as seven.
jordan holmes
Like Trump.
alex jones
They whitewashed it to 14, 13-year-olds.
They were being taken to sex islands.
jordan holmes
That's whitewashing?
alex jones
And sex sheiks.
jordan holmes
Did he just say sex islands?
dan friesen
With sex sheiks.
jordan holmes
With sex sheiks.
dan friesen
I'll tell you, who's not a sex sheik?
The Iron Sheik.
jordan holmes
I will tell you what you need to do.
Say that five times fast.
dan friesen
I prefer Sex Boat, a great song by a rapper friend of mine named FM Cat about the Minnesota Vikings sex boat scandal.
jordan holmes
Oh, I remember that one.
dan friesen
Or Fred Smoot.
jordan holmes
Oh, Fred Smoot.
alex jones
With harems, just nightmare stuff in the Middle East.
And it makes me mad.
And I said, you know, oh, Mueller raped kids right in front of him.
But I said, that's not what he does.
He doesn't do it reportedly.
He just watches it and uses it to blackmail people, which is confirmed.
unidentified
What?
dan friesen
Define confirmed.
alex jones
And the media goes, it's crazy.
jordan holmes
I confirmed it.
alex jones
He claims that Mueller's in a pizza place.
Rampant people never said that.
They just mix it all together.
That's crazy, huh?
But you know what?
That news got out by me getting up there saying, I don't want to do this for real, but I mean politically.
You know, high noon, spaghetti western music.
We're going to take these globalists out politically.
They turned that into, you're being violent.
You're threatening.
dan friesen
So at the end there, you kind of get the sense of what he's really...
He's pretending that in his head, what I did is I made up this bit on the spot, although I had some preconceived...
jordan holmes
I mean, I planned it out in advance, but it was made up.
dan friesen
Much like I wrote some lines for this battle rap ahead of time, but then I got into the cipher and I came up with it off the dome.
jordan holmes
Off the dome.
dan friesen
So I don't really care about that.
It's fun that he's trying to deconstruct his mental process, which I think is ludicrous.
But then at the end there, he's very clearly lying about what people are complaining about and saying, oh, this is what you said.
No one is saying that stuff.
But then he gets to the meat of it, which is my story got out because I yelled about all that stuff.
They covered it because of that.
And so whatever fictitious narrative I was trying to push got so much more traction because you all covered it.
jordan holmes
And why does anybody fucking care?
dan friesen
Right.
That's why we didn't cover it.
jordan holmes
The president fucking said, I hope Second Amendment people take care of Hillary.
It's the same shit.
He threatened violence.
Why would anybody give a shit now if Alex Jones does it?
Yeah.
Who gives a shit if Alex Jones does it?
The president fucking does it on a daily basis.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders wouldn't even say that the press wasn't the enemy of the...
Free world or whatever.
Who gives a shit what Alex says other than the fact that he is giving up their games?
I don't give a shit about his violent rhetoric or all of that other bullshit.
I'm pissed off at the fact that he throws around exactly what you just said.
And because of that...
They gave me more coverage.
He's allowed to say exactly why he's saying it and nobody's covering that.
But if he says the shit that you shouldn't cover, everybody fucking...
dan friesen
I wish people...
jordan holmes
I'm angry!
dan friesen
I wish the people with larger platforms and the people who are supposed to be the public watchdogs and what have you would understand the game a little bit better.
jordan holmes
Because he's giving it up!
dan friesen
Right.
No, it's just...
Anybody who's...
Kind of too loose-lipped.
We'll inevitably just say, this is what I'm doing.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
And he does it all the time.
You just pay attention instead of just going for the chosen clip outrage du jour.
You'll hear it be just very clearly like, you stepped into my trap.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
You kind of did.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You absolutely did.
dan friesen
I don't really know what else you can do because the other option is do what we do.
And Right Wing Watch and Media Matters have way more traction than us.
jordan holmes
Yeah, they're not very interested in that.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
I mean, I think it would be interesting to see an article that just said, Alex Jones explains right-wing media by saying they are going to say whatever it is I want to say as long as I make a stupid, dumb threat and then people pay attention.
dan friesen
Right.
I only have X amount of eyes that...
Can go on.
They have more.
So I say something inflammatory and it tricks them into putting out the thing that I want them to put out, which is an accusation that Robert Mueller was involved with the Lolita Express and Jeffrey Epstein and watched people have sex with kids and then he has blackmail on them.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
You accidentally, not accidentally, you inadvertently...
Put that message out into the world through your coverage of his sensational fake stuff, which is, I'm going to have a political showdown with him.
It shows a lot more craftiness on his part in terms of the times that he breaks down.
And I actually think that this might be a tiny bit true on his end, that he's doing that intentionally, and part of it is saving face.
Because if you watch times that he's...
Said that he was doing this in the past.
A lot of times you can just see utter unhingement on his face.
He's not thinking at all.
He's almost spittling from his mouth and he's red.
So I don't think that...
I don't know.
There's a possibility that he's a much better actor than we think.
But I don't know.
jordan holmes
Boy, I don't know if he's a much better actor.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I think he's a...
Method?
dan friesen
I don't know.
I don't know.
jordan holmes
He's a Stanislavski guy.
dan friesen
Sure, sure.
So in that last clip, like I said, he went to victim instead of martyr for a reason.
And that is relevant because of this next clip.
alex jones
We are back live into hour number two on the most demonized, most maligned, most lied about, most persecuted radio slash TV transmission in the world.
jordan holmes
That would actually be Friends.
dan friesen
Sure.
A lot of lies about Friends.
jordan holmes
A lot of lies about Friends on the radio.
Just the radio version of Friends, though.
dan friesen
So, I mean, all you hear there is coming back from break and wearing your false victimhood like a badge.
The idea that people supposedly lie about him, the fact that he thinks he's persecuted, is what gives him validity in his own mind and what he projects onto the mind of his listeners.
So the idea of claiming the space of victimhood is so fucking important to him without ever...
You know, really playing that card.
In his world, it's so weak to be a victim that he can never be like, we're the victim of all this stuff.
But he has to say everything but.
You know what I mean?
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
It's the only way it works for him.
jordan holmes
You have to project the strong victim.
You're the victim simply because everybody else is so weak.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Everybody else is so much weaker than you, they feel like they have to gang up on you.
Even then, you're so much stronger than them, you can survive being the victim, but only because you're such a great victim and you're always a victim.
But they're the weak ones.
It's stupid.
dan friesen
No, totally.
jordan holmes
It's stupid.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
But it's so important to his continued existence.
So, earlier, we had that clip where Alex was talking about the globalists have chosen demographically the Chinese and the Islamic and Muslim populations of the world.
Like, huh, that sounds kind of racist.
And then he decides to take it to the nth degree in this next clip.
alex jones
The Afrikaners and others are Dutch.
They're basically like Amish.
jordan holmes
No, no.
Don't talk about the Afrikaners.
alex jones
There were big movements during the Reformation 300, 400, 500 years ago to get away from all the sectarian wars in Europe and the rest of it.
So people left to Africa.
They left all over.
And you can bitch about them all day, but then everybody wants to get into the countries that Protestant Christian worth ethics set up of don't steal from people, have just courts.
Doesn't mean we're perfect, but everybody wants to get in the white Protestant countries.
Hmm.
Hmm.
dan friesen
At the end, it might have been a little too overt.
Might have been a little bit too overt there at the end.
And I would also like to posit that there's a possible...
alex jones
I don't know.
dan friesen
This just seems to me like there's a small chance that the reason people might now want to get into traditionally white Protestant countries is that those countries have a history of colonialism and have spent the last centuries completely decimating and strip mining the other countries for gain and profit.
Maybe that's the reason that those...
White Protestant countries are now in the position of being in a much more comfortable, better position than countries in sub-Saharan Africa and in South America.
I don't know.
Maybe?
jordan holmes
You know what was interesting to me is that the people who wanted most to get into white Protestant countries really wanted to get into those countries before the white Protestants took it away from them.
You know, like, the Native Americans, the First Nations, really wanted to get into that white Protestant country of North America.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then, oh, man, somebody stole it!
Somebody stole it!
dan friesen
Yeah, that is weird.
jordan holmes
Somebody just fucking murdered all of them and stole it, and now somehow they're like, oh, we want it back.
You only want it back because we stole it the first time, Dan!
dan friesen
You just triggered, like, a thought that I'm embarrassed we have not brought up.
jordan holmes
What's that?
dan friesen
Alex always talks about how the Muslims are so evil because of the Crusades and them spilling into Europe and conquest and stuff like that in the 700s and shit.
What happened with the Western people coming to America?
jordan holmes
I don't know what you're talking about.
dan friesen
I never really...
jordan holmes
No idea what you're talking about.
dan friesen
I'm embarrassed that I never put those pieces together because I was too busy looking into, like, oh, what was the nature of things in Europe around that time?
Was it back and forth with all those countries flipping lines of demarcation everywhere every five years or so?
And they weren't really even countries.
A lot of the places were city-states at that point.
There was no real combined identity of Italy or any of that shit.
And I never even put the pieces together of like, best example of this is really what white people did with America.
unidentified
Yep.
Yep.
dan friesen
That's the exact thing.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Crazy.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
But everyone wants to get into white Protestant countries and you can't take that away from Alex.
jordan holmes
Man, white people really wish history hadn't happened.
dan friesen
Well, history is fake news.
jordan holmes
Everything that white people do.
It seems like it's like in defiance of reality.
dan friesen
Not true.
jordan holmes
We might be aliens.
dan friesen
Not true.
jordan holmes
For real, like, have we considered that we might be the only people that are not of this planet?
dan friesen
No, I mean, physiologically, we're all the same.
No, I don't think that...
jordan holmes
I don't know.
I don't know.
See, is there some sort of evil gland?
Do we have, like...
Is the pineal gland also evil for white people?
Is that like a thing?
dan friesen
See, the problem, the line that you're walking down now, is that you're going to end up with demons before too long.
jordan holmes
Maybe.
dan friesen
You're going to end up in the same territory as Alex.
jordan holmes
Maybe.
dan friesen
But just about saying white people are demons.
jordan holmes
We'll never know if white people need to be banished from this earth until we banish white people from this earth.
And then maybe we'll find out it was a good or a bad idea.
But I think you've got to do stuff first.
It's better to ask forgiveness from the white people that you've jettisoned into space than it is to ask for permission to jettison white people into space.
I think that makes sense.
dan friesen
You would fit right in with that New York Times lady that the right wing is all fake mad about.
jordan holmes
Oh my god.
Guys, go to bed.
Fucking piss your pants somewhere else.
Get a diaper.
dan friesen
That's a great way to put it.
jordan holmes
Also, New York Times leadership.
Fucking shut up.
Go home!
dan friesen
There are no heroes here.
jordan holmes
Go home!
dan friesen
There's one heroic group in history.
I only say this because they're fairly close to my lineage.
unidentified
Oh yeah?
dan friesen
And that's the Amish.
jordan holmes
I do have to respect a group that is built around the idea of, just leave us alone.
dan friesen
Well, for the most part, and they're also built around the idea of the Amish and the Mennonites, who my family comes from, at least one side of my family comes from Mennonites, and the Hooterites.
They all come from the Anabaptist tradition.
And their whole idea was that you don't baptize children because they don't have a choice in accepting Jesus or not.
jordan holmes
What?
What?
dan friesen
But here's the thing.
jordan holmes
Personal choice?
Disagree.
dan friesen
In Europe, in Western tradition at the time, because of the church, adult baptism was illegal.
You had to baptize every baby because what if they die before they're an adult?
jordan holmes
Adult baptisms?
Adult baptism was illegal?
dan friesen
Yes, absolutely.
jordan holmes
I did not know that.
dan friesen
Yep.
So, at the time, because they refused to baptize children, Anabaptists, they were slaughtered and run out of countries, and that's why the Mennonites and the Amish ended up being this victimized class that were killed all over the place.
They became nomadic peoples throughout Europe, and a lot of them ended up coming to America and settling in, like, Pennsylvania.
There's a bunch of, like, hotbeds of Amish Mennonite communities.
And my grandpa was actually a Mennonite preacher in, I don't know if it's Southern California.
It's in California.
unidentified
1790.
dan friesen
Like Fresno.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
It was in Fresno, California.
Lodi, before that.
So there's a lot of, you know, there's an interesting history to the Anabaptist tradition.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I knew the history of the Pennsylvania Dutch and the like, but...
Did not know that.
dan friesen
Did not know the Anabaptist aspect of it.
jordan holmes
Fantastic.
I'm glad to learn that.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's very interesting.
I hated growing up, going to Mennonite churches because they're mostly a bummer.
jordan holmes
Right, their school.
dan friesen
Well, kind of.
We lived in Columbia, Missouri, which was a city.
People don't believe me when I say that, but it's a college town.
unidentified
It's a fucking city.
jordan holmes
It's okay, Dan.
It's not St. Louis, but it's a city.
You're preemptively defensive.
dan friesen
So there was like neighboring cities, like little small towns and what have you, and there was a Mennonite community of all of those cities that would meet in Columbia.
Everyone would commute into Columbia.
jordan holmes
Like a barbecue.
dan friesen
Yeah, and when I was younger, like maybe 10, 11 or so, we went to this Mennonite church, and it was just such a goddamn bummer.
Like all of the...
And this isn't his fault?
And this isn't even really necessarily Mennonite, but the preacher was in a wheelchair, he was a quadriplegic, and he spoke through like a trach hole.
He had a microphone at his trach hole.
jordan holmes
No!
dan friesen
It was terrifying as a kid.
unidentified
No!
dan friesen
It was just so awful.
unidentified
No!
dan friesen
And then the kids...
jordan holmes
No!
dan friesen
The kids at the church were so much more evolved than me.
But I was supposed to be the city kid because I lived in Columbia and they all lived in the sticks.
They were all fucking like 12. It was horrifying for me in that situation growing up.
So I always had a really negative feeling about Mennonite-ism and a baptism as a whole.
But then I looked into it and I'm like, if there is a version of Christianity that's good, it's probably this one.
They make great pies.
The idea of child baptism is not...
The way to go.
jordan holmes
Personal choice.
dan friesen
They've loosened up on that a little bit, but also you should get re-baptized as an adult if you mean it.
When you can choose to.
The idea of Rum Springer with the Amish, the ability to go check out the world and see if you want to leave.
jordan holmes
Personal choice.
dan friesen
There's all that.
And then also there's such an emphasis on service within the Mennonite community and the Amish community.
The idea of doing things for other people, even if you're not praised for it, is really important.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I love that.
As an adult, I've come to...
I wish I valued...
The religious upbringing that I had more during that time.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Because later we ended up going to like a Baptist megachurch and that was a disaster.
jordan holmes
Oh no, that's no good.
dan friesen
That I don't look back on well.
But the Mennonite stuff I kind of have like a softening in my heart for.
And all this is just to say Alex is about to lie about the Anabaptists.
jordan holmes
Well, that's nice.
I have no sentimental feelings about any of my time in the church ever, ever.
dan friesen
Your cult was a little different.
jordan holmes
Not even that.
Just like even from when we were past the cults and we were in just like regular-ass churches.
Fuck that noise.
Fuck those people.
I hope they all fucking burn in hell.
I don't give a shit.
dan friesen
Sure.
Well, I'll say that most of my life's experience...
Was with the Mennonites.
Alex is going to talk about the Amish.
And there are, you know...
jordan holmes
There are differences.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
But the way I always answer the question whenever people would ask is I would say Mennonite is like Amish with electricity.
There's more flexibility in terms of that.
You can have a car.
You can wear buttons.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Buttons are a sign of pride to the Amish.
They don't like buttons.
jordan holmes
But they are allowed to wear like teal shirts now, so that's better.
dan friesen
Look, Reform Amish stuff is...
Very progressive.
jordan holmes
Colors are nice.
dan friesen
All this is to say that I don't know everything about all of these worlds.
Whether it's Mennonite or Amish, I don't know everything.
I know a bit.
I'm pretty acquainted with it.
I know enough to know that Alex knows nothing.
alex jones
You know, the Amish don't have autism.
jordan holmes
All I know is that I know nothing.
alex jones
They're not eating glyphosate food.
They don't use glyphosate.
And they don't take vaccines.
And they live longer on average 10 years.
Their birth defects are way lower, even though they have genetic inbreeding.
And they do not have autism.
dan friesen
That is not true.
This is an anti-vax propaganda narrative.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that is such bullshit.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
The Mennonite community, the Amish community, all of them, though they do largely live separate from urban centers and what have you, there have been studies that have been done.
There is autism in the Amish community.
There is vaccination that is done.
All this is cruel nonsense propaganda just trying to bank off the idea of otherness.
The otherness.
It's like, oh, they're a separate community.
They don't have this.
It's absolutely been debunked.
jordan holmes
Also, if you're going to pull this lifespan shit, talk about Okinawa.
Sure.
They live longer and everybody looks the same until they're like 95 and then they get real old real fast, but everybody's fine.
dan friesen
That's because they all eat rice so much.
jordan holmes
Yeah, sure, fine, whatever.
They don't get autism because they eat rice.
unidentified
Fine.
dan friesen
They don't have rice vaccines.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you should have a rice vaccine.
dan friesen
Look, dude, this is something that I've looked into quite deeply, and this one, this is bogus.
alex jones
Not endorsing all the stuff they'll homage to.
They have some secret program people don't really know about that I know about.
I talk to some of the people they like to get highly decorated.
jordan holmes
Chimeras.
alex jones
Army and Marine Corps officers.
Who just so happen to be Dutch to go and they pay them big money to stud out their daughters so they get new genetic bloodlines.
unidentified
What?
alex jones
And the whole family sits in there in the room with you.
And they put a sheet between you like Orthodox Jews do.
But it's just like breeding cattle.
jordan holmes
When did you see this?
alex jones
They pay them a lot of money.
They do genetic testing, whole nine yards.
And then they stud them out.
Little side factoids.
Doesn't really matter.
The thing about knowledge, though, it's so addicting.
Like, you want to learn more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more.
Because there's just so much to know.
Of course, that kind of sounds wild, but it's like going to a sperm bank.
They just don't trust the sperm banks.
jordan holmes
No, it's not!
It's not like going to a sperm bank at all!
dan friesen
I'll tell you this.
jordan holmes
It's like paying a stranger to fuck your daughter.
That's very different from going to a sperm bank.
dan friesen
I'll tell you this.
Knowledge is addictive.
And you just want to learn and learn and learn and learn.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
So there's a number of problems with this.
The first...
The first is that...
jordan holmes
Is there a number?
Or is there just one?
dan friesen
Well, one is that the Amish community is notoriously devout.
And one of the things that they would not ever allow is out-of-marriage sex.
That is something that's very against the rules.
jordan holmes
They're not big on hiring Dutch soldiers to fuck their children in front of them with a sheet.
Who's the sheet for?
dan friesen
First of all...
jordan holmes
Who's the sheet for?
dan friesen
Well, do you know what this is?
This comes from message boards.
This comes from anonymous posts on message boards.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
There's a whole, like, rich tradition online of sort of, like, Amish fiction that has to do with the idea of how different that world is.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
So people sort of do these...
jordan holmes
It's slash fic.
dan friesen
Exactly.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
They create these sort of ideas that, like, are believable enough to people who know nothing.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And then this one is sort of caught on a little bit in the internet world.
unidentified
Really?
dan friesen
Yeah, the idea that they stud out dudes.
jordan holmes
That's just a hodgepodge of...
The moment he said, you know, like Orthodox Jews do, you're like, alright, well that's somebody who threw in a bullshit thing from what Orthodox Jews do and then just threw it in there.
It's not even good.
It's not even creative.
dan friesen
Well, the idea that...
Because there's two problems.
One is if this daughter...
jordan holmes
Is there only two?
dan friesen
Well, if this daughter isn't married...
The Amish are against premarital sex.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
So that would be a real big issue.
Secondarily, if she is married, they're super against infidelity.
So that is an issue.
jordan holmes
That is an issue?
dan friesen
The reason that Alex thinks that this is real is because, again, what it comes back to is this othering of othered populations.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So he in his head thinks, well, there's probably not many people choosing to become Amish, so they must be a completely isolated community and they must all be fucking each other.
And at a certain point, you're just going to be fucking your sister.
Right.
unidentified
So here's the problem.
dan friesen
There are tons and tons of separate communities around the country, a lot of them fairly close together, like the Pennsylvania.
It's not called Dave's Pennsylvania Dutch.
Right.
jordan holmes
It's not a franchise.
dan friesen
You're part of this community over here, Community A, and often there'll be a mixer with Community B. And you'll meet someone and marry someone from Community B. And then you'll have kids, and then the kid that you have with someone from Community B might have a kid with Community C. It's not going to necessarily end up in direct inbreeding, because it's not like Community A, B, or C is just one family.
jordan holmes
It's just one guy!
dan friesen
It's not.
It's not nearly as small as Alex is presenting it.
Like, the idea that this is going to, within two generations, it's going to be all inbred babies.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's not an emergency like that for the Amish.
jordan holmes
Well, even if it was, even if it was an emergency, whose idea was the, well, let's hire a Dutch soldier to fuck our daughters?
dan friesen
It's crazy.
jordan holmes
Whose problem-solving skills wind up there?
dan friesen
It doesn't seem like a...
Like a succinct...
jordan holmes
Also, the only reason he says Dutch is because they're called Pennsylvania Dutch, and they're not Dutch.
dan friesen
There is a community that came from Dutch.
jordan holmes
Right, but the Pennsylvania Dutch were German, if I remember correctly.
So he's just using...
Yeah, exactly.
He's just using the...
A colloquial term as an expansion.
But it's not like he's talking about Netherlanders.
dan friesen
Because the issue is what I talked about earlier, the idea that Anabaptists were driven all around Europe.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
There was a nomadic character to the people, to the extent that saying that they're Dutch or German isn't really the full picture of it.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
There is like a multi...
Nationality lineage to that population.
jordan holmes
Not least of which because it was a religious thing, not a family thing.
dan friesen
Well, it's the same thing you can say about the Romani.
You can't say that they all come from X country.
There's people who get forced around and end up in nomadic existences.
jordan holmes
Tends to be that case.
Yeah.
Because if you're a nomad, you wind up interbreeding with a whole host of different people.
dan friesen
Someone might come along with you as you pass through.
There's all kinds of...
jordan holmes
So that's because you tricked them with your gypsy wiles.
dan friesen
You're not supposed to say that word.
jordan holmes
I don't say it is a...
Oh, right.
dan friesen
Anasazi wiles.
Get it right.
I like these soft slurs you can hear.
The slurs that most people don't think are slurs.
It's crazy.
jordan holmes
No, yeah, okay.
dan friesen
So...
Just to put a fine button on this, shout out to my menos out there and my Amish peeps.
jordan holmes
Who are not allowed to wear buttons.
dan friesen
Or listen to this podcast.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
But this is one of those things.
I know that the only reason I'm driving this home so hard is because I have a personal connection.
It's so offensive because of how much the narrative invalidates.
What those people believe.
You know what I mean?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
There's no way they would choose this as an option because it would undo their faith to begin with.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Secondarily, there's no way that this is true because it comes from a fucking message board.
alex jones
Right.
dan friesen
Anyway.
jordan holmes
But that's such a thing.
Like, we've talked about a bunch of times where it's like...
Of course you assume they would do that because you have no belief in your actual beliefs.
unidentified
True.
jordan holmes
So you're like, well, yeah, why wouldn't they sell out everything that they believe?
I would do it.
dan friesen
True.
There's that piece, and then there's also the fetishization of the community you don't understand.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And it's very attractive to do that.
It's very hard to stop yourself from being like...
I believe the weird thing about this group, I think, is weird.
jordan holmes
And also, you would watch a Dutch soldier fuck an Amish lady?
dan friesen
Through a sheet, yeah.
Yeah, fuck yeah!
jordan holmes
When are you ever going to get the chance to do that again?
dan friesen
Well, the other thing, too, is there were those reality shows that came out.
There were that...
I don't remember the name of it, but there was that one about Amish justice where there was a guy with a big stick who would go around and like...
Do you remember that?
There was a terrible reality show.
jordan holmes
It was just a guy with a big stick?
dan friesen
Well, there was a terrible reality show about how there was a mafia within the Amish communities.
Okay.
And that if people fucked with them, then they had this enforcer guy who had a couple goons.
And I was like...
I watched that show and I'm like, this doesn't ring fucking true at all.
So I asked my dad, because my dad's obviously much more plugged in with Mennonite communities, Amish communities around.
And he was like, this is one of the most laughable things.
It's so fake.
It's absolutely one of the most...
It's literally like believing Rock of Love is how people date.
It's literally that level of stupid.
And Alex is operating off that world.
And I'm not offended.
jordan holmes
Isn't that how Red Sonja dates?
dan friesen
Are you talking about that tall Brigitte?
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
No, that was Flavor of Love.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
jordan holmes
Sorry.
dan friesen
How dare you?
jordan holmes
Sorry.
dan friesen
You've invalidated yourself.
Rock of Love was with Bret Michaels for two seasons.
unidentified
Wait, what?
dan friesen
Then there was the Rock of Love bus.
That was another one.
All right.
jordan holmes
There's a rock of love bus?
dan friesen
He's just banging groupies on a bus.
jordan holmes
Well, good for him.
dan friesen
It was a mess.
That's a good day.
So, also a mess, this next clip where Alex talks a little bit about Pizzagate shit.
Although, he's supposed to not believe this anymore.
alex jones
Because I learned this with Pizzagate and stuff.
You've got admissions and thousands of emails about the kids will be delivered into the hot tub for your pleasure.
dan friesen
Talked about this on a past episode.
He's misrepresenting this Podesta email.
alex jones
And then it's the FBI code words for sex with kids off their own Homeland Security manual, and they're talking about $65,000 in succulent hot dogs.
Well, are these just good?
Oh, God, these are good.
I had these hot dogs in Hawaii.
dan friesen
He's completely editorializing on this hot dog email that he has turned into something else.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
This is all bullshit.
He's just riffing.
alex jones
We're delivered by Jet.
It's male prostitutes.
And look, Obama's having sex with ten dudes a day, whatever.
The point is that that's what's going on on your taxpayer time.
He's not watching SportsCenter three hours a day up there, okay?
Okay?
And the report is, you know, he's got, you know, I'm not going to get into it on a family show.
jordan holmes
You should.
alex jones
But let's just say Amtrak isn't just a train.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
Can we break that down?
jordan holmes
Amtrak isn't just a train?
dan friesen
What is Amtrak then?
Before we deconstruct that.
I want to tell the audience that when Alex said Obama's having sex with ten dudes a day, your face didn't change at all.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no, no problem with that.
dan friesen
Stone face?
jordan holmes
No, fine.
Whatever.
unidentified
The idea.
jordan holmes
Whatever.
dan friesen
The very idea.
Fine.
jordan holmes
I'm just going to let that one go.
dan friesen
Let's say a good sexual experience.
I mean, there's going to be diminishing returns because of refractory periods.
But let's say the first time is ten minutes, right?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So let's pretend that each time it takes three minutes more or so.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
So then 10 plus 13 plus 16 plus 19 plus 22 plus 25. And that's going to take all day to fuck 10 dudes.
jordan holmes
It's a busy day.
It's a busy day.
dan friesen
Now let's imagine that you're doing all 10 at the same time.
That's going to take even longer.
Because each of those 10 dudes needs attention.
unidentified
And you can't give attention to 10 dudes at the same time.
jordan holmes
You know.
dan friesen
This is ludicrous.
jordan holmes
One.
Okay, first off, Dan.
dan friesen
He's probably just watching SportsCenter.
jordan holmes
You are selling Obama short.
dan friesen
I know he has skills.
jordan holmes
That is a man who can toss off ten dudes in a heartbeat.
dan friesen
Please.
jordan holmes
Look, if you were even in his presence, you'd be like, and you would shake with orgasmic rage.
dan friesen
If you're saying to me...
jordan holmes
That you could not control yourself.
dan friesen
All things being equal, if you're saying to me that Obama blows ten dudes a day, that's different.
Because then, look at this asshole spilling.
Because then, there's no sock rag.
At that point, there's no refractory period to consider because it's ten different dicks.
You know what I'm saying?
But if he's having sex with ten dudes, that implies that his dick is involved.
And if that's the case, he's got a nut ten times.
jordan holmes
I'm saying that it's not even him blowing dudes.
I'm saying that there are...
He has mental powers of a power that we cannot...
Imagine.
dan friesen
Well, then what's the pleasure, then, if you just walk into a room and ten dudes come?
jordan holmes
Sex is about power, Dan.
dan friesen
That's a good point.
jordan holmes
Everything is about sex.
I've heard that before.
Sex is about power.
I've heard that from Janelle Monae.
dan friesen
I just don't...
I...
jordan holmes
Which is actually the worst lyric on her entire album.
It's a great album.
Dirty Computer is fantastic, but that was the worst lyric.
Anyways, continue.
dan friesen
No, I have nothing to continue with.
I think I beat this dead horse.
jordan holmes
Just like Obama did with all those ten dudes dicks.
All right.
dan friesen
Dead horse dicks.
I don't know.
I will say that this is what Media Matters and Right Wing Watch decided to cover from this episode.
To give you some context of what...
He's talking about and has talked about already.
We have people want to get into white Protestant countries.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
The ones that white Protestants stole from the people who want to get in there now.
dan friesen
We have globalists have demographically chosen Chinese and Islam as their way to go.
jordan holmes
Can't be having that.
unidentified
Against us.
jordan holmes
It's almost like they want to get into those white Protestants.
Wait, no.
They don't want to get into those white Protestant countries, though, right?
dan friesen
I don't know.
But we also have Alex talking shit on the Amish unnecessarily.
The Right Wing Watch could cover that.
You could do a little dance on his face with that if you want.
That would be very easy to do.
A further thing that they could have covered if they wanted to is Alex explaining why Mark Dice isn't more popular.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
This would be a great thing for them to cover.
unidentified
Wait, wait, wait.
jordan holmes
Why is he explaining it?
Because the answer is obvious.
dan friesen
Lack of skill?
jordan holmes
So many, yeah.
dan friesen
Doesn't have it?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Even bad at what he does?
jordan holmes
Worse at everything that Alex Jones is even worse at.
dan friesen
The easiest fucking thing in the world to do is go down to a boardwalk and fuck with people and he does that poorly?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's why he's not famous.
jordan holmes
A lot of different reasons.
dan friesen
That's what we would say.
Right.
jordan holmes
What's his take?
alex jones
We know that intelligence agencies and other groups use this because it's not enough to blackmail somebody you're cheating on their wife or that you're gay.
That doesn't work anymore.
So...
They have to, like, induct you.
And the Mexican Mafia or in the Aryan Nations or whatever group you're in, you know, reportedly you've got to go kill somebody to become a made member.
Italian Mafia the same way.
You've got to make your bones.
jordan holmes
Sure.
alex jones
But to get into Hollywood, you've got to make your bones with a 13-year-old girl.
That's the bare minimum.
That's Roman Polanski who gets standing ovations.
dan friesen
Well, a good friend of mine is a casting agent, and this isn't true.
jordan holmes
Oh, it's not?
alex jones
Because, I mean, it's come out in the news.
It's come out in investigations.
I've talked to people.
This is what it is.
They say, at the final level, I've been told this by major people.
And this happened to Mark Dice.
They said, we want you to pledge to Lucifer before we give you this national show.
And I know the very production company he's involved in.
I've been involved with it.
And in the meeting with the head of it, he said, I just want you to pledge yourself to Lucifer.
And he said, are you messing with me because I'm a Christian?
He goes, no, this is serious.
I can't work with you unless you do that, okay?
We work for Lucifer.
jordan holmes
We work for Lucifer.
That's very direct.
dan friesen
Bro, Lucifer signs our checks.
jordan holmes
We work for Lucifer, so let's let this go.
dan friesen
Again, I don't believe this is true.
But if it's true, I would assume that it's someone fucking with him.
Like, it has to be, right?
Assuming that story is true, because it's secondhand coming from Mark Dice to Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Which is a...
Tenuous link in the game of telephone.
The idea of him telling Alex this story, he's going to be lying to Alex to embellish it.
Now Alex is telling it to us, embellishing it even further.
But if the literal truth of that story is the guy being like, you've got to be in with Lucifer, that's more him being like, I don't want your show.
jordan holmes
Hey, Mark.
dan friesen
I don't want you around.
jordan holmes
Mark, we like your show idea, but I'm going to tell you this right now.
Listen, I like your show.
I gotta go up to my boss, and Lucy is not a huge fan of it.
That means you're working for Lucifer!
dan friesen
That's also a possibility.
jordan holmes
Alright, no, it's just...
She's really nice.
unidentified
Lucy...
jordan holmes
Lucy Goosey?
No, I don't know.
dan friesen
My boss, Belle.
I don't know if you've met Belle.
jordan holmes
Belle Lucifer?
dan friesen
Bellezebub.
jordan holmes
Bellezebub?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Oh, there we go.
dan friesen
That's a common name.
jordan holmes
Alright, alright.
unidentified
I don't know.
dan friesen
This is so stupid.
Like, I don't know.
There's a point at which, like...
Us trying to play with what might actually be talked about.
It's kind of like, what are we even doing?
jordan holmes
What's the point?
dan friesen
What's the point of this?
jordan holmes
What's the point?
dan friesen
So in this next clip...
jordan holmes
Listen, bro, we work for Hades.
dan friesen
Right.
I mean, that's so absurd.
jordan holmes
Fine.
Great.
dan friesen
It's perhaps the most silly thing you could possibly present as true.
And then the second level of it is...
unidentified
Who wants Mark Dice?
The idea, the very idea...
jordan holmes
That Lucifer is recruiting Mark Dice.
unidentified
The idea that Satan, the shoot devil, the literal devil, is like, this guy...
jordan holmes
The Morningstar.
dan friesen
This guy has it.
jordan holmes
Second in command to God himself.
dan friesen
I want him, but you gotta get him in the meeting to say he's cool.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So fucking stupid.
Much like Alex's lack of awareness and playing games with what Amish do, he's doing the same thing with what Hollywood people do.
And now here's the dangerous piece of it.
There's absolutely abuse in Hollywood.
There's absolutely child exploitation that happens.
unidentified
Agreed.
dan friesen
We're not making fun of that at all.
jordan holmes
Never.
dan friesen
The idea that we're laughing about, first of all, is that anyone wants Mark Dice.
And then the second piece of it is the way that Alex Jones does this and talks about this, Very real issue that other people are dealing with, like Ronan Farrow is doing much more serious, nuanced work that's based in reality.
Alex Jones is doing a disservice to all of that by bringing in so much bullshit into it.
So in this next clip, Alex brings up something about what's bad about being in Hollywood.
Something that's really bad about it in his experience.
alex jones
I was like, I mean, I can't go to Hollywood.
Like, you'll be in the dressing room or taking a piss and somebody walks over and, you know.
dan friesen
I can't imagine someone coming up to people in a dressing room.
Like, maybe if they're underage girls at a beauty pageant.
I can't imagine what kind of temerity it would take to walk into a dressing room and harass people.
I can't even imagine that.
No president would ever do that, certainly.
jordan holmes
Oh, absolutely not.
Burn it down.
dan friesen
Yeah, burn it down.
Just burn it all down.
jordan holmes
Burn it all down.
Have we considered burning it all down?
dan friesen
You're getting real close to Ralphie Mays.
jordan holmes
Blow it up!
Blow it up!
Ralphie in peace.
dan friesen
Is he dead?
Oh, he is dead.
jordan holmes
He's dead.
You didn't remember he was dead?
dan friesen
No, I didn't care.
He was really mean to some friends of mine when he came and did stand-up in Columbia, Missouri.
jordan holmes
You know, I've heard so many different, like, he had so many different stories of, like, He was alternately the most mean and then alternately the most generous.
I know people who all of a sudden he's been like, yeah, I will pay for your entire life.
And he's like, oh, shit.
dan friesen
I've heard similar things, but from the people I know closest, they're all negative.
So I don't know.
Anyway, rest in peace, Ralphie Mae.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
He did have some fucking awful jokes.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
Back when I used to work from time to time at that club in Columbia, Missouri, Deja Vu was the name of it.
They would have those...
Remember when you were hosting at Zany's, you were being like, there's going to be a long video before this.
They had the same thing at Deja Vu, but it would be who's coming up a month from now.
So Ralphie Mae was coming in a month and a half or whatever.
So they'd play the video, and every time you would come and do a set, you have to watch that video.
And it was just so bad.
Because the joke that they decided to put in the video was talking about, like, how he named his daughter April, June, May.
And, you know, people come up to me and they say, what'd your wife think about that name?
And I said, she couldn't say shit.
Her genre was wrecked.
Like, is that a joke?
What is that?
unidentified
I don't know.
dan friesen
Why is that in the sizzle?
I don't know.
That's going to get me to come to the show?
unidentified
Look!
jordan holmes
Look!
You hear something like that, you think, I got to go see what the fuck is wrong with this guy.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
dan friesen
And then his opener in the video, like legitimately, he comes to stage in a giant orange suit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
unidentified
And he's like, I'm going to stand here and let y 'all get...
dan friesen
Used to this amount of orange on the stage.
Oh, boy.
jordan holmes
Hey, I hate those jokes so fucking much.
I hate those jokes so fucking much.
dan friesen
So when we would do sets there, sometimes me and my friends would be on the same show together doing guest sets.
And one time me and, very funny, not doing stand-up anymore, but a very funny guy, Daniel Schar, who has a new movie.
If you can find it on the internet, you should check it out.
It's called Scraps.
Very funny.
I went to the premiere of it.
Very, very fun.
jordan holmes
Nice.
dan friesen
He's a very, very funny dude.
When he was still doing stand-up, we were there.
That video played.
It's so goddamn long.
And he had to go up first.
And so when he got up on stage, he's like, Nah, I'm gonna stand here and let you get adjusted to the amount of Char on stage.
Zero.
jordan holmes
Nothing.
unidentified
Nothing.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
Except me laughing my ass off in the back.
Anyway.
jordan holmes
There's nothing better than a comedian wearing something and then pointing out how crazy it is that he wore it by choice.
Isn't that crazy?
dan friesen
Isn't it weird I chose to do this so I could say this?
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's so crazy.
It's almost like I planned on doing this.
I don't have any of those...
I don't have any of those jokes because I only write...
Like, you gotta give it up to those guys for at least writing, like, eight new hours every year or whatever the fuck it is.
Like, I don't have any of those jokes because I write one new joke a year.
Like, it's terrible.
dan friesen
It's a good pace.
Yeah.
Anyway.
We got to get back into this?
jordan holmes
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
dan friesen
Now, I will say that I know that Ralphie Mae is from Texas.
jordan holmes
I'm waiting on a good transition right here.
dan friesen
Ralphie Mae is from Texas, and I know this because one of his specials is called Ostentatious.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Austin.
jordan holmes
I get it.
I get it.
dan friesen
But he's brilliant.
He spent a lot of his time in L.A. Yeah.
And we know that one thing from this next clip, and that is that L.A. That was a torturous route, but I like it.
unidentified
Pretty bad.
dan friesen
Not my best transition.
jordan holmes
Torturous.
It was torturous.
dan friesen
We know that L.A. is very satanic.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
I can't go even to L.A. to audition and even get paid $10,000 to audition because I can't be there.
Like, I can barely go in to be on Joe Rogan's podcast.
I have to, like, man up, and I can take anything.
I can't go to L.A. Like, I'm flying in, and I feel like I'm dying.
I mean, it's so satanic.
My God, that's the main enemy attack, basically.
That's what's sucking the soul.
dan friesen
I would agree that maybe he had a tough time because how hard he was self-medicating when he was on Rogan's podcast and how fucking wasted he was in acting like a dum-dum.
jordan holmes
Could have something to do with it.
dan friesen
But yeah, I'd also say I don't know who's paying Alex Jones $10,000 to audition for something.
jordan holmes
I'm going to go with nobody.
dan friesen
But it's a good cover for why you're not in anything.
Be like, I can't go to L.A., it's too satanic.
jordan holmes
Yeah, sure.
dan friesen
It's pretty good.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
It's pretty good.
jordan holmes
Is it?
dan friesen
I mean, in this audience, yeah, it plays.
jordan holmes
Okay, fair enough.
dan friesen
Yeah, it plays.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
dan friesen
So now, Jordan, I've been teasing this a little.
jordan holmes
I didn't get it just for laughs auditions because Montreal is on fire.
dan friesen
Bingo.
It's that.
It's that same sort of mentality.
So I've been teasing that there's a guest coming up.
You have no idea who this dude is.
jordan holmes
I don't.
dan friesen
And you also, once the name is said, you'll have no idea who this dude is.
jordan holmes
All right, that's great.
dan friesen
Nor should you.
Here's Alex introducing him.
alex jones
So, the globalists are trying to brainwash humanity, turn off our life force, turn off our survival instinct.
Hollywood is their main weapon.
And we're joined by Isaac Cappy, who's a pretty big movie star.
He's been in a lot of big films, big supporting roles, a lot of starring roles.
I'm not going to go over all the films he's been in.
jordan holmes
I wonder why.
alex jones
But he's coming out in this whole plethora of sex stuff happening.
And pedophile news, and James Gunn, you know, worshipping pedophilia.
unidentified
Sure.
alex jones
He's a pedophile booster.
jordan holmes
You figured that one out.
alex jones
And 400,000 signatures or whatever, saying rehire him.
And he's saying, they've tried to induct me into this, so we appreciate him.
dan friesen
So we got Isaac Cappy, which I actually kind of suspect is buzz marketing for Super Mario Odyssey, because the new character in it is Cappy.
He is like a spirit that embodies Mario's hat.
You can throw him around.
He's a new character, Cappy.
jordan holmes
Did not know that.
dan friesen
Also reminds me of the movie Chappy.
There's a number of reasons.
jordan holmes
There's a bunch of reasons.
dan friesen
That I don't think this guy is sincere.
isaac kappy
What has he been in?
Whoa, boy.
jordan holmes
Oh, I'll tell you what.
I've heard he's been in a number of supporting roles and a number of starring roles.
And somebody said that they didn't want to even get into what roles he's been in because he's been in so many.
dan friesen
Well, I don't want to tell tales out of school about what roles he's been in.
jordan holmes
So just give me a sampling of his IMDB page, which I am sure is filled with big blockbuster hits.
dan friesen
I'll do that on the other side of this clip because I would rather let Isaac Cappy respond to Alex's allegation that he's a big movie star himself.
isaac kappy
And I would like to dispel a few things you said.
I'm not a big movie star.
I've been in a lot of movies, but I'm not a big movie star.
Also, I really would like to get in front of this.
I never threatened Paris, and in fact, I reached out to her yesterday.
We texted back and forth, and I said, look, I know you're a good person.
I don't want to bring you into this.
They are trying to draw you in, because that's what sociopaths do.
They use other people around them.
They don't care who they hurt.
They just bring them in, and I will say there is a lot more to that story.
It's not relevant, though, and it's not relevant to the conversation we're having.
alex jones
Sure, I mean, that classic tactic is a distractionary tactic to, like, change the subject.
But, I mean, I don't really follow Hollywood, and I know who you were, so I'm just saying you're an established tactic.
Okay, sure, sure, sure, sure.
jordan holmes
I never threatened Paris Hilton?
dan friesen
Jackson.
Michael Jackson's daughter.
jordan holmes
Paris Jackson.
dan friesen
Yes.
Has alleged that this guy, Isaac Cappy, choked her at a party.
jordan holmes
What?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
To the point where it's being reported in some...
You never know how sincere gossipy blogs are, gossip websites are.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
I don't give a fuck about celebrity news, although this is a little bit elevated because this guy is clearly unhinged and mentally ill.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And the allegation that he choked her...
Is much more serious than, say, Paris Hilton wore a weird shirt at a bar or something like that.
jordan holmes
Like gossip news.
I was really, originally, I was trying to find very...
Because my first thought was like, wait, did he threaten the city of Paris?
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
Because if he's an Alex Jones guest, that's entirely possible!
Then he could have been like...
I was going to...
I know people heard me say I was going to bomb Paris, but I'm not going to...
dan friesen
He did threaten the city of Los Angeles, though, and he said something to the effect of, in a tweet that he has since deleted, that if people come after him, like the globalists or the powers that be come after him, he's going to rain 50 cals all over the place.
He's going to go on a shooting spree.
jordan holmes
So then, yeah, he did it.
Whatever it is, he did.
dan friesen
So, that part that he's defending himself from is this allegation from Paris Jackson that he choked her at a party.
I don't know if that's true.
I'm going to guess, based on his behavior, that it's possibly true.
I don't know.
I don't have any skin in the game.
But, in terms of him being a big movie star, I do like his lack of ego about it, because he's not.
He's been in a couple big movies.
He was in Iron Man.
He was in Terminator Salvation.
jordan holmes
That's a thing?
dan friesen
But his roles were like...
Guy at store or something like that.
He's a glorified extra in a couple of movies.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And then if he had any starring roles at all, they were like weird short films that are on his IMDB resume.
He's done not a whole lot.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
If you look into it, he hasn't even worked in anything in like the last year and a half, two years.
jordan holmes
Neither have I. So good on him.
dan friesen
Sure.
I'm not shitting on him for that.
jordan holmes
He's been in something.
I was never in Iron Man.
dan friesen
No, you wish you were.
You part of the MCU.
If you could only be an extra.
unidentified
You could only have been an extra in Marvel's cinematic universe.
jordan holmes
In the MCU!
dan friesen
It's turned into a real hot-button issue on our Facebook page about whether or not Howard the Duck is part of the MCU.
unidentified
Wait, what?
dan friesen
Our buddy Jim pointed out that Howard the Duck is part of the MCU, and it became an argument of whether that's canonical or not, and it got ugly.
jordan holmes
I love you.
dan friesen
I love everyone.
Alex has already, in the introduction, said that this guy was going to be inducted into this satanic order in Hollywood.
jordan holmes
Yes, of course.
dan friesen
And he tried to build him up as a very large movie star, which Isaac himself has rebuffed and been like, I've been in some movies, I'm not really a big star or anything.
jordan holmes
Or an actor.
dan friesen
I mean, he's acted.
I'm not going to...
I don't want to...
I don't care.
I don't want to split hairs.
I just want to let Isaac speak his piece and explain why he's on the show.
jordan holmes
Let's do it.
isaac kappy
I have a singular mission.
When the James Gunn stuff came up, I've been watching these people talk and talk and talk.
They're liars.
And the root of it is that they're pedophiles.
James Gunn is a pedophile.
And I know because his friends are pedophiles.
Seth Green is a pedophile.
He told me...
He was a pedophile, okay?
And I'm tired of the cult state ripping apart our country and brainwashing people.
It's driving me nuts.
dan friesen
So that could be legally actionable.
jordan holmes
Seth Green is a pedophile, and he said so.
dan friesen
Right.
Hold on to that, because we're going to get into his explanation here in a few.
But I would say that Alex, even though he really gave a lot of pretty insistent caveats that like...
I don't know if it's a good idea to have this guy on the show.
That's not going to save you in court when you allow a guy to slander somebody on your program.
jordan holmes
No, I think that's literally legally actionable, right?
dan friesen
Well, it's certainly legally actionable against Isaac Cappy.
Now, he's already said these things in his live streams and shit.
He goes on Periscope, he does some of that bullshit, and he said...
That Seth Green's a pedophile and all this shit over and over again.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
He's accused Steven Spielberg of being a pedophile.
Tom Hanks.
He's doing all this stuff.
jordan holmes
Not Tom Hanks!
dan friesen
But if you keep track of it, a lot of it is stuff that these weird Pizzagate dudes have already been making accusations about on the internet.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
It's not really anything.
jordan holmes
It's not first-hand information.
dan friesen
Well, it is only in the sense that he does know Seth Green.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
He absolutely knows Seth Green.
jordan holmes
So he got fired by Seth Green.
dan friesen
He's at least been at some game nights with Seth Green.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
But then you have to also take into consideration other things he says in his streams, like he's accused the Rothschilds of cannibalism.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
He thinks that Pizzagate is proven and documented.
unidentified
True.
dan friesen
Those sorts of things.
Oh, and the other thing is, like, when I was saying that I'm not sure if I believe gossip sites, but, you know...
Take this for what you will.
They were reporting that based on what he did to Paris Jackson, she has had to move.
She's had to move because he knows where she lives, and he has kept trying to contact her.
That sort of thing.
I don't know if that's true, but it seems very plausible.
jordan holmes
I think in the world that we wade around in...
You are pretty much guilty until you prove your innocence.
dan friesen
Maybe.
Let's let him...
jordan holmes
In our world, in the fucking sewer that we existed in, we're not talking about people.
dan friesen
Well, let's let Isaac Cappy try and...
Give his story before we judge too harshly, because I know what's coming up, and I think this guy's a shithead.
But you don't know that.
The audience doesn't know that.
I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
jordan holmes
I'm just saying that if you're a man on Alex Jones' show, I will believe whatever a woman said about you, ever.
dan friesen
You are coming...
You're playing from behind.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
You are definitely, like...
You know what it is?
You're in the...
It's the ninth inning.
Uh-huh.
It's tied, and you have to pitch first.
That's what it is.
jordan holmes
Top of the ninth.
dan friesen
If someone...
No, wait.
That's not...
No, that doesn't work.
jordan holmes
That's top of the ninth.
dan friesen
Yeah, I know, because...
jordan holmes
Bottom of the ninth is I'm batting.
dan friesen
At the bottom...
Because at the bottom, then you get a chance to tie it up.
What I'm saying is it's...
You're on thin ice.
jordan holmes
I'm on thin ice.
dan friesen
It's sudden death.
I don't know.
I'm trying to come up with a sports metaphor.
I don't like sports.
jordan holmes
Put this in goblin terms then, Dan.
dan friesen
All right.
Because you're a goblin.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
You're with a bunch of other goblins.
jordan holmes
They're my friends.
dan friesen
You're playing hockey.
jordan holmes
We're all hockey.
Why are we playing hockey?
dan friesen
It's three overtimes.
jordan holmes
There's no ice.
dan friesen
It's not a shootout.
jordan holmes
Okay, it's a shootout.
It's a goblin shootout.
It's a classic goblin shootout.
dan friesen
I don't know sports.
jordan holmes
But we were talking about goblins.
dan friesen
Anyway, let's let Isaac Cappy speak his piece.
jordan holmes
Hang himself.
dan friesen
So this is part of his story that is so crazy.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
All right, we'll continue, though.
When did it get to the point?
Like, Mark Dice, they didn't ask him to have sex with kids, but they said, we want you to join Lucifer before he gave me this TV show.
isaac kappy
Well, I was at a party, and then this child showed up with a man and a woman.
dan friesen
Maybe their parents?
isaac kappy
And he was asking for Seth Green.
dan friesen
Maybe Seth Green's friends came over with their kid, and I don't know, it wasn't suspicious at all.
isaac kappy
Who was out of the country at the time.
And that's when I was like...
Oh, man, they want some blackmail on me.
They want to pin me down and get me involved in this.
And I have no desire to get into anything like that.
unidentified
Cool, cool, cool, cool.
jordan holmes
God, it sounds like you do that.
alex jones
Well, yeah, I never saw anything illegal, but I was at some big parties, and I'm like, why are 15-year-old girls at this party?
With weirdo, creepy lawyers and like, you know, oh, I get a martini, I'm 15 years old.
I'm like, I'm out of here.
jordan holmes
Because they're child actors?
isaac kappy
Yeah, I understand that.
I have also been at gatherings where there have been 15-year-olds, and it's been fine, and no one's drinking, and we're just hanging out and playing board games.
alex jones
Sure, I'm not saying you're not at the beach with your family and the 15-year-old sneaks a beer.
That doesn't always mean there's pedophilia.
I'm just saying, you're at a Hollywood party, and you've got scantily clad girls that don't look like they're 18. It's weird.
isaac kappy
Yeah, it is weird.
dan friesen
What are you guys talking about?
What's happening here?
jordan holmes
Drew Barrymore?
dan friesen
So that part at the end...
jordan holmes
Are they talking about Drew Barrymore from the 90s?
dan friesen
That part at the end there, they're undercutting their own argument.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Because he's saying that you'd be at a party in Hollywood where, like you said, child actors might be there.
jordan holmes
Yeah, and they have their lawyers there because they're child actors.
dan friesen
Well, that's a possibility.
I don't know what Alex is trying to depict.
But the idea that there's a 15-year-old...
Like, who's at the party playing board games with you and nothing happens.
That kind of undercuts the, oh, it's always suspicious if a 15-year-old is at the party.
Now, the part at the beginning there where he's talking about a kid showing up with a dad and a mom, conceivably.
jordan holmes
Yeah, disgusting.
dan friesen
Looking for Seth Green when Seth Green is out of the country.
I would say that precludes it from being anything suspicious.
Because if it was a child delivery, they would fucking know that he was out of the country.
You don't risk that kind of thing.
jordan holmes
Wait, wait.
dan friesen
You're committing a major crime.
Why would you bring a kid over?
jordan holmes
Why wouldn't you even text first?
At least send a text.
dan friesen
Exactly.
jordan holmes
Now, maybe you don't want a paper trail, right?
Send literally any sort of missive in a way that is something.
What are you talking about?
Why is your first thought, okay, parents bring their kid over and Seth Green's out of the country, so obviously they're trying to get me to fuck a kid.
That is the type of thinking of a man who really wants to fuck a kid.
dan friesen
See, you're looking at it that way.
I think it's just someone who is either grossly opportunistic.
And is trying to make a buck.
jordan holmes
Probably.
dan friesen
Or is mentally ill and has insane delusions of paranoia.
jordan holmes
Almost certainly.
dan friesen
Those two things are the most possible aspect of it.
jordan holmes
It can be all three.
dan friesen
And I will give Alex some credit that, like I said, I've brought this up a couple times.
He had misgivings about the idea of talking to this guy.
And I will...
jordan holmes
He doesn't sound like he has misgivings right now, though.
It sounds like he's jumping in whole hogs.
dan friesen
I will tip my hat to him for at least having that kind of, you know, that sort of...
This could go really badly.
At this point, it's not going really badly.
Alex is trying to get him to do the narrative that he wants.
He's bringing up Mark Dice as already.
He's trying to weave in like I've been at parties too.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Let's get the – vague narrative together that I want.
I don't like how you keep bringing up Seth Green.
That's probably illegal.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's weird.
dan friesen
So I think he might be able to sue you and then I've got to get deposed.
Another goddamn lawsuit.
jordan holmes
He's sweary carrying the narrative here is what he's doing.
dan friesen
He's hoping to, I think.
And that's another thing that I think as we...
Go along and get through the rest of these clips.
You will see a little bit of him trying to write the story as the story is being told.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
But Alex gets kind of like, just tell me your goddamn information.
Because I think even he heard that a kid showed up and there was a man and a woman and Seth Green wasn't there.
That sort of thing.
jordan holmes
That's weak.
unidentified
That's weak.
dan friesen
I think he thinks that's weak.
jordan holmes
Even for Alex, that's weak.
dan friesen
And then on top of that...
I think that Alex has been burned in the past by people like Joe Biggs coming in with that Pizzagate shit.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
And then he got in trouble and had to apologize to James Oliphantus.
He doesn't want to have to film a video where he apologizes to Seth Green.
jordan holmes
That'd be a fun one.
dan friesen
And so he is like, just tell me your information, Isaac.
jordan holmes
Would he do it as a robot chicken?
He would do a little puppet version?
dan friesen
That's going to come back into play.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
Bottom line, without getting into all the names, what's the data dump?
If you had five minutes on national TV, which this is, Millions are tuned in right now.
Millions will watch later.
What is the data dump of your experience, what you saw, what they shared?
You were going to break.
People just joined us.
So go back to that.
dan friesen
Real quick.
Alex asked him for the information, and he started weaving a weird tale as the outro music played.
Now he's like, we're coming back from break!
unidentified
Right, right.
dan friesen
He didn't say anything that Alex doesn't recap here before they went to commercial.
I was going to keep both clips just for context, but Alex does a pretty decent job of summing it up.
alex jones
To that, you were talking about Pizzagate to this girl you know, this other Hollywood actress, and then all of a sudden she goes, oh, and then what happens next?
dan friesen
That's very close to what he said.
isaac kappy
Let's just be really concise about it.
Seth Green, at his house, after a party, we were all kind of drinking, pulled back a secret bookshelf and said to me, this is where we keep the children!
Alright?
dan friesen
That sounds like someone who's not being sincere.
Sounds like someone who's like, oh, isn't this a dumb joke?
jordan holmes
It sounds like somebody who's been professionally funny for a long time.
isaac kappy
The top floor in that Malibu house was covered in stuffed animals.
dan friesen
Is that a guest room for maybe that couple with their kid that came and didn't know he was out of town?
jordan holmes
Or just a room for somebody who does a show with puppets.
dan friesen
Oh yeah, it's possible that the...
jordan holmes
With toys and puppets!
dan friesen
Oh, that's an interesting theory.
jordan holmes
That is his entire job!
dan friesen
He's being very unspecific about what these stuffed animals are.
Maybe they're collectibles of the nerd culture stuff that...
Seth Green's entire career is based on.
isaac kappy
There was a room with a bunch of bunk beds.
Okay?
Alright, that's different.
After that experience, I tried to block it out and just laugh it off.
Because it's hard, you know?
unidentified
Because you trust these people.
isaac kappy
I love them.
I love them so much.
I love them.
jordan holmes
You got fired.
isaac kappy
A month later, Seth...
Tells me at the dinner table we need to have a talk about chicken.
And in case you're not aware, chicken is a file covert for a very young child.
jordan holmes
Or his show Robot Chicken.
isaac kappy
He told me he's into kids.
So, like, I don't know what more data people want.
dan friesen
You have already solved the mystery.
jordan holmes
His show Robot Chicken.
We need to have a talk about chicken.
Do you mean his show Robot Chicken?
dan friesen
That has been on the air for 13 years?
jordan holmes
The show he does called Robot Chicken?
dan friesen
It's very much still an active show.
jordan holmes
Do you mean not the pedophile code word that nobody has ever used?
Or maybe it has been used, but come on.
dan friesen
It's allegedly used.
jordan holmes
If there is a thing that Seth Green might say with the use of the word chicken, I'm going to go with his show.
Robot chicken.
dan friesen
Right, it's like if you and I were...
unidentified
Hey, we need to talk about knowledge, Dan.
dan friesen
No, no, or like if I was out, you know, like maybe we go meet up with a bunch of comics and one of them I want to fill in for you one time.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like we gotta go, we gotta talk about this fight.
jordan holmes
I'm not talking about fighting.
That's exactly what fight clubs say.
dan friesen
Now, granted, we don't call this show Fight.
But on some level, that could be a way I might drunkenly present it to somebody.
And the idea that he's over for a dinner party and he's like, we've got to talk about chicken.
That is...
unidentified
100% what he probably was talking about.
dan friesen
Especially based on the other weak shit that he's presenting in terms of like, he had a secret room.
He's like, this is where we hide the kids.
And he does the Alex Jones creepy voice even, which is not real.
And then the, oh, there's stuffed animals in a room.
And again, the bunk beds part, facetiously, this proves it.
Guest room, bitch.
I hate that I said bitch there, but it's so stupid.
I don't know.
You could easily, like, if you have a mansion, the idea is, like, I know from some experience.
jordan holmes
Mansion-wise.
dan friesen
Watching the lifestyles of the rich and famous.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Watching cribs.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
A lot of people who have mansions have rooms that people can stay in.
That they know from their life before they were rich.
jordan holmes
Because they're rich enough to be like, hey, I'm going to build a room for you.
dan friesen
Isn't this great that I can now have a place where you can stay with me in Malibu if you come and vacation?
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
You don't have to go to a hotel.
You have access to my mansion.
jordan holmes
Do you know how great it is that I have so much disposable income that I can build a room for you to visit once a year?
dan friesen
That's human.
jordan holmes
Great.
dan friesen
So the idea that there's a room with bunk beds, again, comes down to the idea that maybe Seth Green has a lot of friends with kids.
And they like to stay, and maybe you would want to allow the kids to have their own room if they come and stay.
jordan holmes
Could be.
dan friesen
If I were super rich, that would be in my house.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Because I have enough friends that are close to me that are now married or on their way to having kids.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Let's say I were to, I don't know, Perfect World.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
I end up...
We've become super successful with this podcast.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
To the point where I'm super rich.
You're super rich, too.
We don't have to work anymore.
Maybe you stay in Chicago.
I decide, fuck it, I'm going to France.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
I get a big old house in France.
jordan holmes
That'd be fun.
dan friesen
You and your girlfriend get married, have some kids.
We do the show over Skype or something like that to keep things going.
Everything is good.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
But sometimes you like to have a vacation in Europe.
jordan holmes
We want to go to France.
dan friesen
Right.
You have kids.
I have a room dedicated for when you come and visit in my chateau.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
That is something that, like...
jordan holmes
That makes perfect sense.
dan friesen
My brother, like...
jordan holmes
What you don't understand...
dan friesen
My brother has a huge house.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
There are rooms in that house that are just for other people.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Specifically.
That don't match his lifestyle at all.
Because he has people who come and stay with him.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Because he's in a position of his life where he can be like, this is a room for others.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
This is not weird.
jordan holmes
You don't understand, though, in this fantasy scenario...
What I would do if I were rich, which is test the limits of the different justice systems.
I would go around committing so many fucking crimes.
So many fucking crimes.
dan friesen
Or state to state.
jordan holmes
I would burn down homes anywhere I could go.
Anywhere I could go.
Do you know how many crimes rich people get away with?
I would test every single fucking limit of that.
Try and put me in jail.
Try and put me in jail.
I'm so rich.
I don't even give a fuck.
Burn it down.
dan friesen
Making it rain on courts.
jordan holmes
Burn it down.
I'll pay for all of your lawyers.
You know what?
I'll pay for the prosecution's lawyers.
dan friesen
This has created a really fun mental picture of you arsoning.
It's like setting fire in someone's house and they come out and you just have a checkbook.
jordan holmes
With $100 bills is how I would start fires on other people's homes.
dan friesen
So they come out of the house and it's burning down.
You have a checkbook and you're like...
Let it happen.
jordan holmes
Yes!
dan friesen
What's it going to take for you to be cool?
unidentified
You have nailed my rich person fantasy scenario.
dan friesen
That's horrible, but I do like it on one level, because maybe they didn't like the house they were living in, and because of the numbers you could write on that check, you could buy them a better house.
jordan holmes
Exactly!
dan friesen
It's a slight inconvenience, but you are helping the working man.
jordan holmes
I am the worst Robin Hood there's ever been.
I'm a joy-riding Robin Hood, is what I'm doing.
dan friesen
You're an upfront, abusive Robin Hood.
Pays off on the back end.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Shitty.
dan friesen
You're a Robin Hood who's working on spec.
jordan holmes
You know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to put you up in a hotel for a while.
I'm going to burn your house down.
You're going to come watch.
We're all going to have a great time.
I'm going to buy you a new house.
I'm a good guy.
dan friesen
And then, oh, here's what you've got to do.
jordan holmes
Yeah, here we go.
unidentified
I like that.
dan friesen
I like that.
You put him up in the hotel, right?
jordan holmes
What hotel?
Are we talking about like a Hilton?
dan friesen
Three star.
jordan holmes
Three star?
dan friesen
Three star.
jordan holmes
I feel like I'd be a better rich person than that.
dan friesen
Three star.
jordan holmes
That's penny-pinching rich person.
Penny-pinching rich person behavior.
Okay.
dan friesen
Anyway, here's what you do.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
All that stuff.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
You bring a recorder as you watch the house burn.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
The podcast is them watching the house burn.
jordan holmes
So now I'm doing a podcast with them as their house burn.
dan friesen
This is going to be a spinoff.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
My guest is the guy who's watching his house burn.
How do you feel right now?
Any memories you think you're not going to be able to recover from that?
jordan holmes
Hey guys, welcome to the new episode of Real Estate Fight.
I've got the Smith family over here.
We're watching their 30-year-old home burn to the ground.
It was built by their grandfather by his own hands.
dan friesen
Mr. Smith, I know you're crying right now, but you have to keep in mind that you're going to end in a better place.
At the other end of this, you're going to have a better house.
I think that would be a great podcast.
There's ethical issues with it, but I think...
jordan holmes
There are a few.
dan friesen
I think that could be a miniseries on Earwolf.
jordan holmes
Do I let them keep Mementos, or do I have to stipulate that they keep it all in there?
dan friesen
They can only keep any copies they have of the DVD of Memento.
Anything else has got to burn.
jordan holmes
Okay.
All right.
dan friesen
No, no.
jordan holmes
What about the...
No, no, no.
dan friesen
No, no, no.
You've got to go Survivor on it.
jordan holmes
Go Survivor on it.
dan friesen
So if you've ever watched Survivor, one of the things is they get to bring one luxury item.
Everyone who comes on the show gets to bring one...
jordan holmes
I did not know that.
dan friesen
Like a razor.
You could bring a razor to shave and stuff like that.
jordan holmes
I've never watched Survivor.
dan friesen
Everybody gets to bring that.
So every member of the family gets one item.
jordan holmes
Gets one item.
dan friesen
One sentiment item that they get to take out of the house.
jordan holmes
And then on the podcast, we'll talk about their sentimental item and why it was that they chose that.
And then there'll be the crackling of...
We'll roast Marshall.
Marshmallows will be fantastic.
dan friesen
This is the best idea for a podcast.
This is right up there with that TV show with the, like, I Can Save the Show.
The stand-up show that we pitched.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
God damn it.
We could be so rich.
jordan holmes
We could be.
We're ideas men, Dan.
dan friesen
Yeah, I know.
jordan holmes
We're ideas men.
We can't follow through on this shit.
dan friesen
So good at this.
Anyway.
What were we talking about again?
jordan holmes
This dude is accusing Seth Green of being a pedophile.
Is that how we got onto the I'm going to burn down homes as a podcast show?
dan friesen
Well, we had to talk about something real.
So, Isaac is basing a lot of this stuff on the fact that...
Seth Green said we need to talk about chicken at this dinner party.
jordan holmes
Which eerily resembles the show that he does.
dan friesen
And I gotta be honest, Alex finally shows somewhere with all as a journalist in this clip.
I don't like giving props to Alex, but this is as close as it's gonna get to Alex being like, good job, buddy.
alex jones
Maybe they thought you were into Pizzagate, they thought you were funny, they knew you.
They were teasing you?
Or maybe it was Sacha Baron Cohen?
Hold on.
Sacha Baron Cohen might have been videoed as a joke.
I mean, how do you know?
What I'm saying is, when did he actually say something?
isaac kappy
He said it at that conversation.
We're already eating dinner, okay?
So ask yourself, why would someone say we need to have a conversation about chicken?
How does that make any sense?
alex jones
Yeah, I hear you, but that isn't proof of him.
isaac kappy
Alex, please stop.
You're fucking interrupting me, brother.
alex jones
Hit pause.
Delete that.
Go ahead.
We're on radio and TV.
We can't say cuss words.
I'm not going to interrupt you.
Fine.
I don't know how someone saying chicken is that.
Go ahead.
isaac kappy
Okay.
So, while we are already eating dinner, he says, we need to have a conversation about chicken.
jordan holmes
Eating.
isaac kappy
And I say, well, to be quite honest, when that hit me, I was like, this wave of dread.
Because I had, you know, I was like, they might be into this stuff.
They might be into this stuff.
He confirmed that they are into children.
I asked him if they were into sacrifices and stuff like that.
He said they weren't, but he was already lying about other stuff, so who knows?
dan friesen
Yeah, who knows?
Alex presses a little bit more about the idea of, like, what did he say?
He's like, well, I don't remember exactly what he said.
Like, go fuck yourself then.
Get the fuck out of here.
Get the fuck out of here with you trying to re-characterize fake conversations that you had based on this Pizzagate fear that you already had that you brought in to inform this conversation with someone who is so decent enough to let you as a fucking no-name, out-of-work actor into his circle.
You're just trying to cash in.
It's fucking nonsense.
And now, again, you know what?
A week from now, it could come out that Seth Green's a monster.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Hey, I still don't believe this guy.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
I'm not defending Seth Green.
I'm saying that this guy's story is shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
That's all.
And I love that Alex, because he's been burned in the past, is like, he said chicken.
That's not proof of anything.
jordan holmes
Alex is, on a certain level, whenever I'm listening to this, I feel like Alex is getting out a lot of the frustration that he has.
dan friesen
With himself?
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Oh.
jordan holmes
With his shitty underlings.
dan friesen
And his audience.
jordan holmes
Like, it's so much like...
For real, you're gonna bring this Mark Dice bullshit at me?
Like, I already have people who are shitty at their jobs.
Have you heard motherfucking these people talk?
dan friesen
You ever talk to David Knight?
jordan holmes
Yeah, have you ever talked to David Knight?
I have to run this whole operation, and you're just coming at me with, he said chicken?
Fuck off!
dan friesen
David Knight tried to call his show Real News and then we got in trouble because that was copyrighted and we can't call a show that.
So I said to him...
jordan holmes
And also it wasn't.
dan friesen
So why don't we call the show Living Walking Quaalude?
Why don't we call it Human Sedative?
And then David Knight's like, I just want to call it something else.
I don't think that's going to mark it very well.
You know what I deal with having to talk to that motherfucker?
And now you're coming into my goddamn show.
One of my interns found you on Twitter or Reddit, one of your dumbass periscope things.
He said, you've got to interview this guy.
I said, oh, I don't think it's a good idea, but now I do.
You're fucking naming Seth Green repeatedly on my show.
This is going to get us fucking sued, you dick!
You do your periscopes and no one's watching!
Everyone hates me now!
You understand?
unidentified
I am fucking in the hopper.
You come on my show and say that Seth Green's a pedophile, this is going to blow back on me.
dan friesen
Now, I would love to have this dance.
In other circumstances, I would love to do it.
But it is too hot right now.
unidentified
I have to say, chicken doesn't mean shit!
Alex is backed into a corner where he has to use the skills that he actually has, but never flexes.
jordan holmes
This is the problem with this not being a live show.
If every single one of our listeners that heard that rant was like, And then just started fucking clapping.
That was perfect.
Nobody understands Alex Jones better than you do, and you should cry.
dan friesen
Yeah, but also, if they were watching it live, I'd be super embarrassed because I got the tiniest bit animated.
jordan holmes
Oh, you went fucking aw.
That was beautiful.
dan friesen
That was beautiful.
I usually have no pulse.
unidentified
Actually, I'm sorry.
jordan holmes
Pause that.
We can't swear on this show.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah, that's true.
I love that, though.
I very rarely ever hear someone drop a fuck on Alex's show.
jordan holmes
I kept finding...
Like, I was writing in my head, like, oh, he didn't say fucking, because you can't say fucking on the show.
No, he totally did.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
That's great.
dan friesen
Yep.
Alex is the only one who gets to say fucking on his show.
I'm not a fucking Russian agent.
Fill your hand.
Fill your hand.
jordan holmes
By the way, you can go to fillyourhand.com and we'll redirect you to knowledgefight.com.
dan friesen
And click support the show.
jordan holmes
We need your help.
dan friesen
So, the other thing, dude, is that, like, okay.
I've made it very clear.
I don't believe this guy.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I think this is thin.
The thinnest soup.
jordan holmes
It's not good.
dan friesen
Of all time.
jordan holmes
It's not good.
dan friesen
But he comes up with a rebuttal that I think is actually worth examining.
jordan holmes
Is it about booyah bass?
dan friesen
How dare you.
isaac kappy
So if what I'm saying is false, why would there be such a concerted effort to shut me down on every platform that the cult state controls?
dan friesen
Because it's liable.
jordan holmes
Because crimes.
dan friesen
Because it's illegal.
jordan holmes
Because crimes exist.
Because there are crimes.
dan friesen
Because you're slandering someone.
jordan holmes
Because sometimes crimes.
dan friesen
If you speak it, it's one crime.
If you type it, it's another.
jordan holmes
You know what?
dan friesen
You are without any evidence other than he said chicken making a horrible claim about somebody.
jordan holmes
If I had murdered that guy, why would everybody be trying to prosecute for me?
For murder.
Come on.
dan friesen
It doesn't make sense.
jordan holmes
Come on.
If I murdered somebody, why would everybody be trying to say that I murdered him?
dan friesen
Come on.
They need me to shut up because it's so true.
jordan holmes
Because I've murdered so...
dan friesen
That's the wrong angle.
That's not a good angle.
You're too good at this.
I was hoping to never discuss the...
Seth Green's show is called Robot Chicken.
jordan holmes
How could that not be the first thing you think of?
dan friesen
I know.
jordan holmes
If Seth Green and the word chicken are in the same sentence, even if it was like Seth Green had chicken for dinner, I'd be like, did he have robot chicken for dinner?
Like, that's the only thing you can think!
dan friesen
Because it's been on air for 13 years.
jordan holmes
There's so many long years!
dan friesen
It premiered in 2005.
But the reason that I was hoping to, like, tease it out is just because...
They don't bring it up for quite a while.
jordan holmes
How do they not bring it up?
dan friesen
Until Alex does in this next clip, which again, I've got to give him props for.
alex jones
Let me ask you this question, Cappy.
You're really good buddies.
We looked it up.
We didn't just believe you.
With Seth Green going back for years.
So suddenly you're turning against him.
His show's called Robot Chicken.
You make this chicken joke.
Is this not the ultimate outdoing Sacha Baron Cohen stunt right now?
isaac kappy
I would like to dispel this one more time.
This is not a media stunt.
unidentified
Cool.
dan friesen
I like Alex's, like, I like his fear.
You know what I'm saying?
You know, like, I like that he's gun-shy a little bit because he's wrong.
This guy's just crazy.
But I like the idea that, like, because all these people got tricked by Sacha Baron Cohen, that now he has to be, like, really on his guard.
Right.
Wait a second.
Your proof is that he said chicken.
His show is Robot Chicken.
Are you just some sort of weird prank that's going on?
jordan holmes
That is actually good.
dan friesen
He's wrong, but his brain went there, which is at least a nice next step.
jordan holmes
I know.
dan friesen
I appreciate that.
That's like watching a child find the wrong but interesting solution to a problem.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Alright, so this...
This circle doesn't fit into the cube hole.
But the cube hole, if I turn it this way, will fit into the diamond hole.
That's pretty much the same thing.
dan friesen
Or it's like, well, if we make the square hole bigger, the circle will fit.
Interesting solution.
You're wrong.
jordan holmes
You're wrong.
You're not what we're going for.
dan friesen
But you're thinking.
jordan holmes
I appreciate that.
That's creativity, at least.
unidentified
That's how low the bar is for Alex.
jordan holmes
I know.
The fact that his brain does that is like...
Crazy.
Legitimately crazy.
Shocked.
Shocked that he actually brought up Robot Chicken at all.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
Totally.
jordan holmes
Because for a moment there, I was like, oh, well, of course.
Of course he would bring up Robot Chicken.
And when you said, I'm surprised that he pushed back at all.
I was like, oh, yeah.
Of course.
Because if this Sacha Baron Cohen, if he hadn't been tricked by this in the past.
Robot Chicken would never have come up at all.
He would have been all in on the bullshit narrative.
dan friesen
No, I don't think...
jordan holmes
I don't know if it's...
I'm not saying it's Sacha Baron Cohen specifically.
I'm saying if he hadn't been burned so many times, this would be such the thing where he's like, yeah, let's jump into it.
Let's throw in...
Let's go all the way.
dan friesen
Well, there's one piece that...
I didn't bring up, because it's kind of unnecessary, but because it's come up in conversation, it's relevant.
I think one of the biggest reasons that Alex is like, with or without Sacha Baron Cohen, would be pushing back against this guy a little bit.
jordan holmes
It's because he's getting sued?
dan friesen
Well, there's that.
But also the QAnon world and the Reddit and 4chan subs about him are largely like, don't trust this guy.
Like, most of the Internet's conspiracy community has red flags on Isaac Cappy.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
Because there are stories, like, about him choking Paris Jackson.
Right.
unidentified
Because there are people from his past who have anonymously posted on these forums about knowing him and him being, like, an attention kind of whore guy.
dan friesen
Yeah.
unidentified
Then also there are stories.
dan friesen
These are apocryphal.
I can't really sort these out or not.
I'm only reporting this in as much as it is why these Internet communities don't trust him.
Yeah.
unidentified
They say that he's tried to, in private messages...
dan friesen
get people who are quote-unquote whistleblowers to identify themselves as if it were a doxing operation.
I don't know if that's true, but that's what they're saying on the web about him.
So there's a distrust about him as a whole.
I think Alex took this on as like a, well, I'm playing, I don't know why I'm using another goddamn poker metaphor, but I'm playing a Jack 5 suited.
Maybe something weird will happen.
He's accepting this interview as like, I'm coming in with a bad hand.
I can walk away from it.
I can fold in the middle of this.
There's no big deal.
I'm not emotionally invested in this.
But if it hits, it's going to hit big.
And we're in the middle of the interview and it is not hit.
It is not hit.
But the weird thing that happens is that Alex pushes back against him.
He's like, chicken doesn't mean shit.
And then he's like, he has a show called Robot Chicken.
Sasha Baron Cohen is fucking with people right now.
Do you understand what's going on?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Are you fucking with me?
Yeah.
dan friesen
So he gets that all out of his system, and then after he's said it, it's almost like his hot-headness cools.
And then he's like, yeah, I know they are fucking kids in Hollywood, so maybe there's some truth to what you're saying.
He kind of becomes like, ah, we're cool.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's really aggressive to the point where Isaac is like...
People fucking say this all the time.
Right.
Use the delay.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And then Alex is just like, yeah, right, you're cool.
What?
You didn't say anything to prove his point.
He's still Alex.
jordan holmes
He's still Alex.
dan friesen
So he interviews him for like, I don't know, probably half an hour.
And it's crazy.
It's crazy.
And he gets to this.
There's no more meat here.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
There's no more meat.
Okay.
jordan holmes
We've got what we wanted to get.
dan friesen
Everything else that Isaac Campy says is all just the same shit.
And like, well, I think this...
No information at all.
So we've dealt with him having the child delivery.
We've heard him say that Seth Green has a...
Chicken.
False room in his house and some plush animals.
And that he talks about chicken.
However, this is the most important clip.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Of it all.
It has nothing to do with what they're talking about.
But it has everything to do with two dudes who are both trying to lie to each other coming to loggerheads.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
It's so good.
jordan holmes
Here we go.
isaac kappy
People always ask, why doesn't anyone from Hollywood, why don't they come out?
Why are there no whistleblowers?
Well, I'm right here, okay?
And this is the best you're going to get for now until someone with all the blackmail material shows us.
alex jones
Well, I'm a whistleblower.
I've been at like...
Private, super A-list deals, and I'm like, those girls are not 16. Maybe 16. I mean, I've seen it.
isaac kappy
I don't doubt you have, but you haven't been intimate friends with these people like I have.
Maybe you haven't and haven't talked about it.
I'm assuming there.
But I know a lot of people in Hollywood.
What you do?
dan friesen
The clip's not done.
The clip's not done.
But that's the greatest thing ever.
I bet you do.
jordan holmes
You fucking know Seth Green.
What do you think?
Oh, Seth Green is your A-lister?
Come on, man.
dan friesen
These two guys are trying to ping-pong back...
unidentified
This has just turned into a dick-measuring contest about...
jordan holmes
Friends!
dan friesen
Yeah, absolutely.
jordan holmes
My friends are more important than your friends.
I know Charlie Sheen!
dan friesen
I haven't pointed this out at all, by the way.
There's a guy in studio co-hosting with Alex who runs a TV network that plays Alex.
He's been sitting there the whole time.
First of all, the whole thing about Chicken, he's just silently sitting there.
Also, while they're bickering here about, like, you know, hey, I'm sure you've been to the parties, but you're not, like, good friends with them.
You don't know.
I know a lot of celebrities.
jordan holmes
I bet you do.
dan friesen
So here's where that goes.
alex jones
See, the top people that tried to recruit me were the producers and the directors and the lawyers.
I skipped right past the actors.
You understand the actors are like the minions, right?
isaac kappy
Yeah, that's fine.
I mean, it should be noted, though, that Seth Green has a big production company with a bunch of TV shows under his banner.
alex jones
No, no, no, I agree!
Oh, shit!
jordan holmes
No one wins!
I know the big producers and the doctors.
unidentified
Well, it should be Seth Gray's producer.
dan friesen
Fuck off!
I love that, though, because Alex is trying to cuck him by being like, look, you hung out with the actors, the producers tried to get me.
And then, very correctly, Cappy is like...
Seth Green has a giant production company that runs a show that's been on the air for 13 years and other shows.
He's a massive player in terms of being able to get things made.
And then Alex is like, fair.
Then, without admitting that he's wrong, moves on to another point.
It's just like, what are you guys doing?
Wasn't this about the kid victims?
Why are you guys pissing content?
jordan holmes
Seriously.
Go to bed.
dan friesen
Come back to it, yes.
jordan holmes
Go to bed.
Just go to bed.
dan friesen
You guys aren't doing anything.
jordan holmes
Go to bed.
dan friesen
So at this point, after this pissing contest, the guy who shall not be named, because I've forgotten his name and he's not important, starts talking about how, like, you know what, in Hollywood, what it is is really that all these people who didn't have friends in high school get to rise to prominence.
You know, like, all these people who are really antisocial and didn't have any friends get to find themselves in a position where they have power over other people.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I mentioned this earlier, a friend of mine who I'm not going to name because it's, you know, their business, but I have a friend who is a casting agent.
I don't know if they're still at the same place, but they were working for one of the two largest casting agencies in the country.
jordan holmes
Right, right.
dan friesen
And I've talked to them about the experience and what they go through, and none of this checks out.
jordan holmes
Oh, it doesn't?
dan friesen
The reality of that world or anything.
unidentified
Odd.
dan friesen
And I know them from high school.
I knew what they were like.
And I'm using an ambiguous pronoun for a reason.
They don't need their business on the streets.
They were awesome.
They had a lot of friends.
unidentified
They were super cool.
dan friesen
I was asocial.
I had trouble with stuff.
They were super nice to me.
They made me feel very welcome and comforted.
I haven't spoken to them in a long time in chronological terms.
jordan holmes
Right.
Which is why I don't have a job.
dan friesen
It's probably been a couple years since we've actually had a real conversation, but I care about them very much.
They were amazingly social at that point in life, which flies counter to this.
jordan holmes
A little bit.
dan friesen
So that guy is very dumb, but it leads to Alex.
All right.
jordan holmes
All right, come on.
Let's do it.
dan friesen
This is so bad.
jordan holmes
Let's do it.
dan friesen
This is so good.
jordan holmes
Here we go.
alex jones
And then they go to Hollywood, and it's a big, giant fly zapper, a big web, where they can now be in charge.
And the cheerleader that wouldn't date them, they're going to crap all over her and make them eat their poop.
That's what they do.
You know, that's one level of it.
Like the Pope talks about, that's what he likes to do reportedly.
I mean, think about that.
jordan holmes
So Pope Francis makes people eat poo in general or his poo?
dan friesen
It's hard to say based on pronoun reference, but I would assume...
I would assume it's his.
jordan holmes
You think so?
dan friesen
I mean, he's the Pope.
jordan holmes
He hasn't flown in from many different places.
dan friesen
Oh, he gets that boutique.
jordan holmes
This is Vatican poo we're talking about.
dan friesen
Artisanal poo.
No, because Alex is saying that they crap all over them, which implies that the agency is on you.
You are the crapper and the crappie.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but that's metaphorical.
unidentified
Politically.
LAUGHTER Ha, ha, ha.
Ha, ha, ha.
jordan holmes
What are we doing?
unidentified
I don't know.
jordan holmes
What is this?
What is going on?
God damn it, Dan!
What is going on?
Are we adults?
Are we adults?
dan friesen
No.
No.
jordan holmes
Are there adults around?
dan friesen
I'm glad this is a Friday.
jordan holmes
Can someone call an adult?
dan friesen
I'm glad this is a Friday show because it's sort of like, hey, you know what?
I'm going to now do this new thing where it's like on Friday we let it all hang out.
To explain this retroactively.
jordan holmes
Is anybody fucking paying attention?
What are we doing?
dan friesen
I also love to, like, if we can just take one second to pump the brakes.
He's talking about the Pope making people eat shit.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Which is confirmed.
Earlier he said that Obama is fucking ten dudes a day.
And that the Amtrak means something else, which we do not know.
I have no idea what that means.
jordan holmes
I want to know what Amtrak means.
dan friesen
I imagine it's a train up your ass.
I have no idea.
I don't know.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
dan friesen
So the issue that I come away with it is when Isaac Cappy said fuck on the show, he's like, it's a family show.
No, it's not.
jordan holmes
That's right.
I forgot.
I forgot that he uses it's a family show to describe why you can't.
dan friesen
Like, Scott Ackerman on Comedy Bang Bang as a joke is like, it's not that kind of show.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But he's...
Alex is legitimately saying, like, this is a family show.
jordan holmes
Hey, hold on.
This is for the...
dan friesen
You were talking about the Pope making people eat shit?
unidentified
No, no, no.
jordan holmes
Don't you know how the family gathers around, like, uh...
unidentified
What are you doing?
dan friesen
It's like, I hate him in the present because there's nothing really of substance, and it's all this nonsense bullshit.
But I do, on some level, there's a part of me that likes it on some level just for how, like, I don't even, I can't finish the sentence.
jordan holmes
He kind of thinks that his show is a prairie home companion, except for sometimes he talks about the Pope making people eat shit.
dan friesen
Well, if I had to give a broad prediction, I would say that...
jordan holmes
The Pope is going to make somebody eat shit first.
dan friesen
Abroad.
jordan holmes
Abroad.
dan friesen
No, I think...
By that I mean overseas.
jordan holmes
Is that what you mean?
dan friesen
Yeah, I mean.
The thing that I'm going to predict...
jordan holmes
Two Popes, one cup.
dan friesen
The thing that...
Well, there are two alive now.
The thing that I'm going to predict is that...
jordan holmes
You forgot the Dark Pope, though.
There's three.
dan friesen
The Black Pope and Solomon's Temple.
jordan holmes
There's three at least.
dan friesen
The thing that I'm going to predict is that Alex is going to, from these lawsuits, sort of learn his lesson that you can't do this to civilians.
People in power aren't going to care.
You can yell about Soros being a demon all you want.
He's never going to sue you because he has bigger fucking issues.
He doesn't care about whatever bullshit you're saying.
He knows it's not true and he knows that libel laws are difficult.
So whatever.
Just live your life.
Enjoy it.
He can do this to the Pope because the Pope's not going to sue him for saying that he makes people eat shit.
He doesn't give a shit.
The Pope has much bigger things to do.
Like recently he said the capital punishment is no good.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And he's also said that hell isn't real.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Pope Francis has big issues on his plate.
jordan holmes
He did that through eating a bowl of shit, though.
Like, that was one of the things that he was doing while he was like, oh, shit is delicious.
Also, by the way, capital punishment, cannot do it.
dan friesen
And why won't that?
jordan holmes
I'm against the death penalty.
I'm still going to protect child molesters, but...
I'm going to eat shit, and I'm against the death penalty.
dan friesen
I don't understand why the MSM won't report what he had as crudité while he made these announcements.
You know what I'm saying?
jordan holmes
Ain't nothing cruder than his crudité, you know what I'm saying?
dan friesen
Absolutely.
All the pool reporters were there.
They could smell it.
They could smell it.
Conspiracy.
jordan holmes
Flies.
Land on Obama.
Spinning around his mouth as the Pope says that the death penalty is no longer acceptable.
dan friesen
So I don't know what my point was necessarily about what the value of present day is.
I guess it's just that nothing matters.
jordan holmes
Nothing matters in the present.
dan friesen
Maybe that's the point.
But I do like how weird some of this is.
And who knows?
There's this last clip here.
I think this is a perfect place to end because it's profoundly weird.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
There's nothing that sets this up, like, legitimately.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
This doesn't come out of like a natural place.
jordan holmes
This isn't like an organic evolution of the conversation.
dan friesen
I tried to go like maybe 15 seconds before to give it some context.
jordan holmes
None.
dan friesen
But it would actually make it more confusing.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Because the guy who runs that TV network is talking about something completely different.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
And then Alex comes in with this.
alex jones
They send a transmission.
It's spiritual.
There's a transmission probably emanating out of, you know, one of the black holes, they think.
jordan holmes
Sure.
alex jones
I'm serious, isn't that?
It's saying, die, die, die, kill yourselves, be scumbags.
Because there's a transmission, like all these planets, kill yourselves.
No, do not listen to the transmission.
Because there's a bigger transmission from God saying, don't do it.
dan friesen
So Alex, he's not saying that they believe that.
He's arguing that from a black hole, there's a transmission that's trying to, say, kill yourself to a bunch of planets that are unoccupied by anybody.
But then we are getting this transmission from the black hole saying that we should kill ourselves, and by that...
Because we know Alex Jones enough, he means give minorities rights and be liberal with that sort of thing.
That is what will end up killing you, be accepting of other people.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
But God comes in and says, no, don't do that.
And because we already know from our outer context, Trump is Christ-like.
Do what Christ would do.
jordan holmes
So.
dan friesen
Which is, be a monster.
jordan holmes
Explain to me real quick.
dan friesen
I can't.
jordan holmes
Black holes.
Which they believe exist.
dan friesen
They do.
jordan holmes
Right.
Send out a spiritual transmission.
dan friesen
Which would be tough to get out of the event horizon.
You know, it would be tough to get a message out of the thing that sucks in everything.
jordan holmes
No, no.
We've all read Einstein's theory of relativity.
We know that the only thing that escapes the event horizon is the spirit.
dan friesen
And shifty messages.
unidentified
Shifty fucking messages.
jordan holmes
So black holes spit out a spiritual message willy-nilly at 360 degrees.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
All over the place.
dan friesen
Well, it's like on Lost, you know, the black hole is like Rousseau's transmission.
You saw more.
They're all dead.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
It's that.
Give up all hope.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
They're dead.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
So then you should kill yourself.
dan friesen
Right, right, right.
jordan holmes
Why do black holes do this?
Is that a thing?
dan friesen
Are you trying to ask me what the motivation is?
jordan holmes
Well, is there a motivation behind the black hole or is the black hole?
doing it or is the black hole the real victim here in that it can't do anything but send out this transmission of yawning, chasmic pain?
Like, what's going on here?
Is the black hole okay?
I'm most concerned about the black hole.
dan friesen
Jordan.
Jordan.
You've got this wrong.
jordan holmes
How?
I can think of no way that I've got this wrong.
dan friesen
There is probably a Muslim who hates Western civilization on the other end of that black hole.
jordan holmes
At the center of every black hole.
dan friesen
Who's just yelling.
jordan holmes
Right, right.
Just like at the center of every galaxy, there is a supermassive black hole.
At the center of every supermassive black hole, there is a supermassive Muslim.
dan friesen
Right, or non-Western person.
jordan holmes
Non-Western person.
Apologies.
Apologies.
Could be a Chinese.
dan friesen
Obviously, in Alex's brain, it would present as a Muslim.
jordan holmes
It could be a Chinese person as well.
dan friesen
That which you are most afraid of as a white.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Well, black hole is probably the best way of putting it.
dan friesen
I love this because what we've done now is we've accidentally walked ourselves backwards into what I think would be the perfect Ben Garrison cartoon.
jordan holmes
Oh, there's a black hole and we name the black hole Muslims and then there's rays coming out that kill yourself and then there's planets that are like Peter Schiff, like all of that shit.
Yeah, why not?
dan friesen
He's riding a bar of gold off of the distance for no reason.
jordan holmes
And then Trump is the son.
Yeah, why the fuck not?
dan friesen
Who gives a shit?
I love it, though, man.
That's nonsense.
jordan holmes
That's bananas.
dan friesen
And also, it's a really fun way to end an episode where Alex is like...
jordan holmes
No, he's...
Wow.
dan friesen
We spent the beginning of this with him defending himself about these very real lawsuits that are happening, and we discussed the ins and outs of that to the best of our ability as outsiders.
We're not involved in his court cases or anything.
jordan holmes
We probably should be.
You should call us to the stand.
You'd be great at it.
dan friesen
We know what we know and know what we don't.
We don't pretend to, but we can discuss that, and that was the beginning of it.
And then in the middle of it, he got into some...
Clunky bullshit, some of it about the Amish, and then at the end of the episode, he had a complete weirdo on to talk about chicken and make a legally actionable claim.
I don't mean to undersell that.
jordan holmes
No, no, no, that's a crime.
dan friesen
I know that he's already in the past said the same stuff in Periscopes, but this is different.
jordan holmes
This is a crime.
dan friesen
This is different.
jordan holmes
This is a crime.
dan friesen
Alex should not have let him on the show.
unidentified
Uh-uh.
dan friesen
Because he knew he was going to say this shit.
jordan holmes
It's kind of what he does.
dan friesen
There's every reason as a show person, as someone who's curating a presentation, when you have a guest on, you have a slight responsibility to understand what they're going to say.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And if they commit libel...
It's a little on you.
jordan holmes
Libel is usually an issue.
dan friesen
It's a little on you.
jordan holmes
Usually.
dan friesen
No, that libel is in print.
Slander is when you say it, right?
There's a difference.
jordan holmes
Eh, whatever.
dan friesen
Who cares?
jordan holmes
It's all the same shit.
dan friesen
Anyway, there's probably some crimes here.
I don't know.
Alex is so bogged down in lawsuits that who gives a shit he's going to be busy for a while.
jordan holmes
For sure.
dan friesen
Probably just going to let this one slide.
Seth Green doesn't seem litigious.
Who knows?
jordan holmes
Eh, he's probably fine.
dan friesen
Anyway, I look forward to seeing the next season of Chicken.
jordan holmes
Which is a very different show, apparently.
dan friesen
And never hearing about this dude ever again.
jordan holmes
I doubt he's going to be in the new season of Robot Chicken, I'll tell you that right now.
dan friesen
An actor who hasn't worked in two years.
Coming in to talk shit on his erstwhile friend.
jordan holmes
Oh boy.
dan friesen
Anyway, Jordan, this has been a lot of fun.
jordan holmes
This has been a lot of fun, Dan.
dan friesen
Sorry this went a little longer than expected.
jordan holmes
Ah, it happens.
dan friesen
But...
We have a website.
jordan holmes
Wait, our show went a little bit longer than expected?
dan friesen
I think we called that out at the beginning of the show.
Pretty much.
We have a website, knowledgefight.com.
People can go to to find stuff.
jordan holmes
Indeed.
You could also go to fillyourhand.com or you could go to our Twitter page.
It's at knowledge underscore fight.
dan friesen
Right.
Not the best Twitter presence in the world.
jordan holmes
Uh-uh.
dan friesen
But we're on Facebook.
jordan holmes
Especially since I completely deleted my social media presence entirely.
dan friesen
I am not good at anything social media wise.
But we're on Facebook.
jordan holmes
Indeed.
Indeed we are.
dan friesen
The only place where I actually think that there is consistent activity and regular engagement.
And I'd also like to say, since we put the word out that the place to go is the group, go home and tell your mother you're brilliant, we've seen a lot of traffic come in.
We've seen some wonks and some listeners come on board who were probably just hanging out.
On the page and not knowing where the action was.
And I appreciate it.
We're up over 300 deep in that group now.
unidentified
Which is great.
dan friesen
Maybe it's not that many people totaled, but it's fucking awesome.
jordan holmes
For our weird community?
Hell yeah.
dan friesen
For two non-fan-having comedians, one who's quit doing stand-up in the middle of Chicago recording in a bedroom, that's pretty fucking good.
jordan holmes
That's not bad.
dan friesen
So thank you all for joining.
And if you would like to keep more tabs on what's actually happening, the group is the way to go.
Go home and tell your mother you're brilliant.
It's a private group, but you can request.
You'll get in.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
iTunes.
iTunes?
Oytunes.
Oytunes is where you can go.
dan friesen
Sure.
We're on Spotify.
jordan holmes
We're not on Spotify.
dan friesen
I think all it would take is just me clicking a button, though.
jordan holmes
You know, it's actually...
No, that's not true, because I already submitted us for Spotify.
They were super specific in who they chose.
dan friesen
They're Specify.
jordan holmes
Ooh, nice.
dan friesen
Well, you know, we don't do a great job with that stuff either.
jordan holmes
No, that's true.
dan friesen
Anyway.
jordan holmes
What else do we got?
Nothing.
It's your turn.
Is it my turn?
dan friesen
No, I just say that every time.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
Well, I will tell you this, and I don't know why it is, but this entire episode, to me...
It seems like it's one guy's fault.
And I'm going to go with for being such weak bullshit that Alex had to call in this motherfucker.
Mark Dice, go fuck yourself.
dan friesen
I'm fine with that.
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.
jordan holmes
I love your work.
