Jordan Holmes and Dan Friesen dissect Alex Jones’ August 1, 2018 episode, exposing his fabricated "National IPA Day" claim while mocking his legal evasions—like refusing to apologize for Sandy Hook lies—while deflecting blame onto media. They debunk his racist globalist conspiracy, Hollywood pedophilia fantasies (e.g., Isaac Kappy’s baseless allegations), and absurd black hole metaphors framing liberalism as self-destructive. Jones’ reliance on sensationalism, like Pope Francis "poop" rumors or Amtrak’s supposed hidden meaning, underscores his pattern of unfounded provocations to sustain relevance, revealing a media landscape where outrage thrives over substance.

alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
I'm a first time caller.
I'm a huge fan.
jordan holmes
I love your work.
alex jones
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
unidentified
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple dudes.
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
Probably.
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.
So 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
Two years ago.
Too long we've been doing this stuff.
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 conmen.
jordan holmes
That sounds like a really interesting show.
unidentified
It has its moments.
dan friesen
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 chat.
unidentified
Straight up.
jordan holmes
Now tell me.
dan friesen
Like, I'm Paula Abdul and you're MC Scat Cat.
jordan holmes
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 evidence, our episode, is going to be okay.
unidentified
But hopefully good.
dan friesen
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, oh, 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 all right 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.
dan friesen
Well, yeah.
jordan holmes
Everybody likes Bill Paxton?
You know, everybody likes 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, 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 me.
jordan holmes
There's no pressure.
dan friesen
I appreciate everything very much.
And 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
Very 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.
alex jones
For sure.
dan friesen
Recurring payments is kind of a pain in the ass, you know, with like not just that, but it's a commitment.
jordan holmes
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 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, that's in present day.
jordan holmes
That's not good.
dan friesen
Well, I feel 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.
People talking.
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 going to 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.
That is 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?
It's great that we're talking about a case.
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.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
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.
And so he had to walk that really fine line of like, I'm performing, but I also feel, but I'm doing this in a way so that 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.
Right.
unidentified
So now that would be tough.
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.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But at the same time, his lawyers have to argue that no reasonable person would believe that he's telling the truth.
unidentified
All right.
jordan holmes
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
Screaming nonsense.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, no, well, this isn't true.
It's 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 Posner, Mr. Posner, because she watched InfoWars and believed him to be a crisis actor.
Right, right, right, right.
And so in order to get them off the hook for influencing her, they have to paint her as the crazy one.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
She's crazy because she believed this.
jordan holmes
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 in 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.
Then the other case that's pending, and I believe this one also had a hearing at some point this week.
I can't remember the guy's name, but it's the guy who was misidentified 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 used 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.
And Alex, an InfoWars argument, is like, well, we accurately reported on something that was posted on 4chan, which is not journalistic due diligence.
jordan holmes
Which, however, means that they are the ones who are at fault.
And in fact, we were not reporting on the Parkland shooter.
We were reporting on the reporting done by 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 they 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.
Probably.
dan friesen
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?
You know, like, is there any reason for me to have to follow basic standards of what journalists adhere to?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I think that that's going to be the next hurdle that he's going to have to jump over with his lawyers.
I don't know.
I don't know how it's going to work out.
jordan holmes
Here's my quick and dirty.
dan friesen
This is the reason why we're doing a modern episode is because 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.
Right.
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.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
And there you go.
unidentified
Done.
Solved.
Yeah.
dan friesen
And in the same way that, like, he had to give an apology to Hamdi Ulakaya and James Alephantis.
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.
They're just going.
So at the end of the day, I hope that the people who were wronged by him in some way get what they're looking for out of these cases.
But I don't think at the end of the day, I really don't see how this is going to really negatively affect him with the people who are already on board.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Because what you said, they're unreasonable.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
So, who knows?
Oh, man.
jordan holmes
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 against them kind of gives me kind of like a clearer idea of where this is going to go.
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: 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 this is a potential outcome of this.
Right.
Because then he has years and years of, ha ha, I beat the Sandy Hook families in court.
Right.
No, 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, no.
That's the trick.
That way, I can continue to call for violence.
However, because our show is so inherently reasonable, they would all reject what they were doing.
They would all reject it.
alex jones
Yeah.
jordan holmes
All of our listeners know full well that I'm not going to actually wish violence on somebody.
So were a listener to perhaps say murder Jeff Bezos in his home and pee you in his throat, then we would say, you know, nothing.
They would be like, look, look at how reasonable our listeners are.
dan friesen
Even as Alex Jonesian 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.
His gut is going to be Trump.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah, you need to eat better.
jordan holmes
Even if it's saying another word, just going, oh, then, no, you got to try fiber.
dan friesen
Try fiber.
Unless you're like Jay Sherman from The Critic.
He's.
Is it peas?
jordan holmes
I don't know what his stomach says.
Dude, I don't care.
I love that show so much.
dan friesen
It's a great show.
alex jones
I will eat your soul.
dan friesen
It 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 isn't acting 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 10 minutes this morning, America's newsroom, trying to outdo MSNBC.
I guess the young ladies on the program, we've got the clip, you 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.
No matter how many times I clarify or how many times I apologize for the media misrepresenting or how many times I reach out at 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, 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?
Hmm.
dan friesen
Well, there's a.
jordan holmes
There's one?
dan friesen
There's a definite, you know, you're 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 the Sandy Hook families, it was all about, I'm sorry that the media has hurt you with lying about me.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Which is so manipulative, so evil.
It's next level irresponsible.
And I don't, 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 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 Dew'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 stuff.
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.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And he won't.
I don't understand.
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.
unidentified
There you go.
jordan holmes
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.
unidentified
Because he can't.
jordan holmes
He's not a guy.
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 that.
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
He's sitting 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
That's true.
alex jones
And that's why every channel, including Fox News with Bill Hammer, 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 telltale sign for you.
And all the fake faux outrage.
We've got a low-res copy.
We're going to find a good one.
We're good.
That shaking camera is going to make me nauseous.
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.
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 used actors.
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 mean, I know that one of the things that he's really comfortable with is that, like, 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.
Like, 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 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.
But they can be used to establish a pattern and intent.
Yeah.
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 said stuff like that over and over again.
It's not, this isn't any, this isn't a surprise.
You've had Steve Pieczenik on constantly talking about how it was fake.
Even this year, Steve Pieczenik has been on his show.
jordan holmes
This year.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's right.
He has.
And he fucking confirmed.
He said it again.
dan friesen
And he said that Alex has probably been threatened into saying that it's not fake.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, so, I mean, I don't know.
Look, I.
jordan holmes
And Alex had to do the whole 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 Pieczenik down to the.
You're going to get to hang out with Owen Sawyer 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.
And fair enough.
jordan holmes
Yeah, we're all on board.
dan friesen
Not for you.
jordan holmes
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 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.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unfortunately, they are not saying what he says they're saying, so they're telling them the truth.
dan friesen
Yep, it's all straw man shit.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's so boring.
jordan holmes
Pathetic.
alex jones
They've been greenlighted 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.
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.
And 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.
No shit.
I can already see this in the tea leaves.
No shit.
I talked to 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.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
Excessive, perhaps.
jordan holmes
That was the first start.
dan friesen
The First Amendment part, bull hockey, I would say.
Could be.
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, but like.
jordan holmes
No, I'm going to go with Trump is surprisingly worse than Alex Jones by a large and not just in relative terms to power.
I mean, like, just as a human being.
dan friesen
No, I agree.
jordan holmes
I think Trump is.
I think Alex might actually be an okay father.
And Trump, by all of them, I don't think that's the case.
dan friesen
Alex is worse at this.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
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.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
He just doesn't lose somehow.
It's a push.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You know, it's this weird, unsatisfying gamble, like at the poker table, and you're like, you both have ace jack or whatever.
And you end up splitting the board.
It's like you thought you were going to win hundreds of dollars on a hand, and then all of a sudden, nope.
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.
And then he's going to be a little bit more.
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.
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?
That's a.
What he said, though, has kind of made me view something a little bit differently.
He is not.
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?
dan friesen
He's saying.
jordan holmes
Has he started to believe his own bullshit on this?
Like, he has to know that Trump is a pile of shit, right?
dan friesen
Well, he's trying to.
I think if I were to get into his head, which is sort of what I've been doing this whole time, I think what he's doing is trying to show honor a little bit and that, like, I am such a loyal person that if you need to throw me under the bus, I understand.
jordan holmes
It's like performative.
unidentified
It's like performative sacrifice.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, entirely.
But it's also a manipulation in terms of like he thinks that Trump is going to hear that and be like, fuck yeah, I never have to throw that guy under the bus or something like that.
Yeah, 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.
No, no, I mean, that's not like the I'm the last bulwark against this.
That's not like they're trying to take me down.
It's like 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 it.
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.
It's one of the few things in this episode that I was like, oh, 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
I'm not sure he read the entire article.
Fair.
I mean, yeah.
Again, fair play.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
No, we're all on board.
Google's evil.
unidentified
Good call.
dan friesen
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.
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 Falong 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?
What 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.
jordan holmes
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 because.
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.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
That makes Hitler China in that equation.
And people who helped the Nazis, like George Bush's dad, or Siemens, or Fred Koch's dad, or Fred Koch himself.
jordan holmes
Excuse me.
dan friesen
Yeah.
These people who helped the Nazis, they are the ones who you should 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
No, I understand.
dan friesen
It bothers me.
jordan holmes
I understand.
dan friesen
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.
unidentified
Although, on the other hand, both.
jordan holmes
You can't pass or fail either of those.
They're just relative benchmarks.
dan friesen
You can't 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 makes the UN OSHA.
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.
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 propping up, oh, 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, 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 that he says is the best.
dan friesen
Ding, ding, ding.
jordan holmes
God, I hate him.
dan friesen
He's really dumb.
And this next whip 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 died.
You just type in David Rockefeller editorial praising Mao, click images, it'll come up.
dan friesen
Why are you clicking images?
jordan holmes
Why are you clicking images?
alex jones
Google's buried it, but 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, like, 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 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 YouTube.
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.
Yeah.
It's all about coverage.
It's all about coverage.
unidentified
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.
dan friesen
I'm not.
jordan holmes
It's not.
That's a substantive thing.
I know, I know, 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?
alex jones
No.
dan friesen
No.
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.
alex jones
I entertain people looking at anomalies and things with Sandy Hook.
And then when I found out that some of the anomalies were 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
But I know mass shootings happen, and they're a bad thing.
They're very rare.
And I just don't like it.
Then 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.
dan friesen
Ah.
alex jones
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, who is also a game.
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
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 many times.
The reason I say fuck you sincerely from that clip is like 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.
alex jones
That's all.
dan friesen
It's infuriating to me.
jordan holmes
You know what?
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, he can't.
jordan holmes
And he said that 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 it, 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.
Like, 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.
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.
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 lie.
You don't have to lie this time.
jordan holmes
As we've proved in our Project Cable Out episodes, the problem is that, like, 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.
Just pull it back.
dan friesen
Like Icarus, these people fly too close to the bottom.
jordan holmes
You get greedy with your cons.
dan friesen
Yeah, I mean, that's why Jim Baker went to prison.
unidentified
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 those were some sort of like a tale about morality and the way that you should use or not use 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 interesting about because he knows he's in court.
Like, he knows that.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, he can't go whole hog.
dan friesen
Right.
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.
Blah, 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.
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 said that, like, you know, 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.
I will 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.
Yeah, I'm not thrilled.
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 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, really keep this in because he's going out to break, and I would say this boy is shook.
alex jones
China's Z to promote globalization at Davos, not war and poverty.
But 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 Maoist 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.
isaac kappy
What?
alex jones
And all I'm trying to do is fight these people for the other men going to the bottom.
jordan holmes
Did we skip it?
alex jones
We're not doing it.
Look how he's getting attacked.
Look, Braddy, 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.
jordan holmes
All right.
unidentified
All right.
Wait, that was a sting to the end of that.
dan friesen
You guys need to attack Alex Jones to get fired.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's Fox News all up and down.
dan friesen
Totally.
jordan holmes
Oh, I've never heard anything more reasonable said about Fox News.
dan friesen
Seems very in line with their editorial position.
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 plagiarism?
jordan holmes
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, like, hey, hey, quit being racist over there.
That's my job.
dan friesen
We've claimed that space.
jordan holmes
Yes, that's ours now.
It's very weird.
We're the West.
And you, Alex, now, are the people that you want the West to trample on.
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.
Right.
You have been outdone.
jordan holmes
First off, he shaved.
dan friesen
It's true.
jordan holmes
He doesn't have...
Wait, did Alex shave?
unidentified
No, no, Tucker.
dan friesen
Tucker shave.
jordan holmes
Okay, yeah.
Tucker shaved.
dan friesen
He shaved the bow tie.
That was important.
Got to 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.
Son of a bitch.
Didn't negate you.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry.
He just said it real quick.
That's right.
dan friesen
Play the tape back.
I don't think.
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, Good news.
alex jones
Tommy Robinson.
jordan holmes
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 and under British law under U.S. law.
Admiralty.
He didn't even have a real hearing.
He was in less than 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.
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.
Vitamize 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 legal and journalistic integrity.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
You absolutely put all that shit under wraps because crisis actors.
So that's one.
He's scoffing about the idea of 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.
Next.
jordan holmes
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.
He was just like 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 mad at you.
dan friesen
Yeah, beating you up.
unidentified
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.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Like, even they wouldn't be like, okay, we're going to fuck with people and then pretend that we weren't fucked with.
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?
unidentified
Was that the one about booze?
dan friesen
That was 18th.
Right?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
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.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And 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.
I had secret documents talking about how they're going to, you know, like China now has control of the entire cloud.
So he's bringing these things up.
Yeah, he went back the years in order to tie into new revelations that are pressing and 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 political expedience?
Whose victimhood do you care about, Alex?
Well, no, because the Buddhists, the Falun Gong folk are not necessarily.
jordan holmes
No, no, no, I know.
I mean, like, at the end of, 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 asked that rhetorically, essentially.
It's because they're in China.
He hates China, and so 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, yeah.
And it was like, 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, like, 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.
Right.
Could already.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah.
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 anytime I hear something like this that has some credible backing to it, yeah, no shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
No shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no shit.
dan friesen
Google is a moral outfit that, you know, it's a huge market.
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.
unidentified
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.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
It takes over all of the rest of the world.
Right.
I've been brushing back up on Game of Thrones.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Had to take a break from this horror and watch the Red Wedding while we were talking.
dan friesen
Something like that.
jordan holmes
What's great about that is that just to talk about it.
dan friesen
Do you mean me watching Game of Thrones?
jordan holmes
No, no, no, no.
Him talking about China.
Chinina?
China is just today, an 80-year-old not activist, but like fucking critic of the Jay Sherman?
No, unfortunately.
He didn't make it to 80.
He died of heart disease at 74.
dan friesen
Rest in peace.
jordan holmes
Yeah, for sure.
hated it no while he was Duke Phillips became president in 2016 he He did!
It was based on him.
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
We're the bears that sing forward to us.
unidentified
All right, let's show 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.
84-year-old.
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.
Like, 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.
Sure.
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.
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.
Like, 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 arbistic.
dan friesen
It ended with Trump.
jordan holmes
It ended with Trump.
But then they started World War IV after Trump.
dan friesen
Trump reach rapprochement.
I just like saying that word.
jordan holmes
I know.
You've said it quite a bit recently.
dan friesen
He found détente, 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 actively, you know, because there were the surrogate wars that happened.
Well, yeah.
jordan holmes
Wars did occur all across proxy 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.
alex jones
No.
jordan holmes
Hopefully, we will be soon.
dan friesen
Fingers crossed.
And if we are, it's because of this, what the globalists are doing.
isaac kappy
Okay.
alex jones
The globalists have demographically bet on communist China and radical Islam just because of demographic numbers.
jordan holmes
Demographic numbers.
alex jones
They're not trying to get another earpiece during the break.
This has been doing this way for two days.
It just keeps popping out.
I don't know what's going on.
Excuse me.
I 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.
dan friesen
Nope.
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.
It's private business.
jordan holmes
We gave it to them.
dan friesen
Private businesses.
jordan holmes
No, we slammed them.
dan friesen
We gave it to him.
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.
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 them.
jordan holmes
That would be nice.
dan friesen
And 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 they're going to give us some fucking funding so we can do some shit.
Maybe we should have better funded public universities.
unidentified
Ah!
jordan holmes
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
So demographically, the bad guys have chosen the Chinese and the Muslims.
isaac kappy
Yeah.
unidentified
Yep.
jordan holmes
Who's the demographic that they not America?
No.
Because Chinese people and Americans can both be that's a very compatible.
It seems like.
Oh, are there Muslim Americans?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
That's also compatible.
Yeah.
Can't be talking about Americans.
unidentified
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
That's not the four corners.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
No, dude, it's all just that displacement of your bullshit.
It's all just white.
jordan holmes
God, I want to.
I just want white people, take a break.
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.
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.
I listened to this on.
jordan holmes
That's high-level Jedi fucking judo, right?
dan friesen
Because 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
Phrasing.
jordan holmes
Suck off everybody?
alex jones
They just have a predatory distinction 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's such.
Get rid of America.
Families are bad.
Men and women are bad.
You know, teach your five-year-olds 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 with 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 man and woman.
Oh, just the very pure, like, you're demonizing your enemy as we speak.
Yeah, such a thing.
And then blaming other people for demonizing their enemy.
But it's war.
dan friesen
It's war.
War.
jordan holmes
Now we're going to get into news radio.
dan friesen
What is it good for?
What is it good for, George?
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 horror opgames.
dan friesen
I like doing that.
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, 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.
unidentified
All right.
alex jones
If you want the really big role, you got to screw a 10-year-old.
And you're like, are you joking?
They're like, oh, maybe I am.
Maybe I'm not.
And you're like, I'm about to kick your ass.
I'm just joking.
I'm just joking.
Because I've been in Hollywood.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
alex jones
At A-list parties, which you think are so cool.
Like, 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.
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.
It's like, these girls are sure pretty, man, but I think they're about 16 years old.
jordan holmes
What?
alex jones
And that's just out in the open.
jordan holmes
What restaurants?
alex jones
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 Benny Hanna'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 Pizza.
Yeah, that's the pizza.
The whole thing was that back room where they have parties.
Oh, 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
Oh, Epstein, no.
I think that it's some guy wanting Alex to leave a party.
If I have to play Occam's Razor games, I'm going to say that no one is going to go up to Alex and be like, hey, there's going to 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.
Right.
jordan holmes
And we can't confront him.
dan friesen
No, because he's going to fight because he's going to freak out.
jordan holmes
So we got to creep.
dan friesen
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.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
He's just going to turn off.
He calls that goblin mode.
jordan holmes
He's called it that?
He has not called it that.
dan friesen
He does on this episode.
I don't know.
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.
dan friesen
He calls it goblin mode.
jordan holmes
He watches a lot of movies for somebody who hates Hollywood.
dan friesen
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.
I was going to say dad gets sued.
jordan holmes
Because Lord of the Rings goblins are very industrious.
They're like the analogue of the dwarves.
They live underground in mountains and build goblins, like hobgoblins.
They're generally just considered 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 hobs.
dan friesen
Goblin goblins.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't care.
But this is 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 fun.
jordan holmes
I want to know more about goblins.
dan friesen
We'll do that on another episode.
Okay.
Because I'm sure that Project Camelot 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.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I heard about it.
dan friesen
Talking about wanting to have a showdown politically.
Politically.
And everybody's like, look at him threatening Robert Mueller.
I'm 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.
He's got to 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 helps America implodes and he wants to have a depression.
But that's okay.
dan friesen
Well, one thing, no one likes Bill Maher.
alex jones
No.
dan friesen
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.
jordan holmes
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 Nick DiPaulo on the show or something like that.
jordan holmes
Oh, is there?
dan friesen
Yeah, he's a comedian.
jordan holmes
He's terrible.
dan friesen
But there's other...
jordan holmes
He was pretty good for a while, though.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's great on Dr. Katz.
jordan holmes
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.
But you know that there's an attempt at humor there.
In the same way that 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.
isaac kappy
Yeah.
dan friesen
But he's trying to be funny.
jordan holmes
An Islamophobic master.
Another fucking 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.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
That's just a shitty joke that he's making.
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, Politically.
jordan holmes
Politically.
alex jones
I want to have a political shootout with Robert Mueller.
The last thing I want 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
It'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 10 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
His artificial victim status, as it were.
So that's why his mind cooks that up.
jordan holmes
Martyr means he doesn't get made.
dan friesen
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.
I mean, not offensive violence.
alex jones
But they're always saying I'm violent.
So I said, why don't 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 like, it was thought out, but like in 10 seconds.
It was like, Mueller makes me so sick the way he's railroading everybody, having fake trials and breaking the Constitution and spying on Manafort's phone calls in jail with his lawyer's totally illegal.
And gosh, it's so crazy.
jordan holmes
I don't think he's doing that.
alex jones
I'm not a hall for 10 years with 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 whitewash it to 14, 13-year-olds.
They're going to take it to sex islands.
jordan holmes
That's whitewashing it?
alex jones
And sex chics.
jordan holmes
Did he just say sex islands?
dan friesen
With sex chics.
jordan holmes
With sex cheeks.
dan friesen
Who's not a sex chic?
The iron chic.
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 me.
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.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
Defined, 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 raping people.
Never said that.
They just mixed it all together.
That's crazy, Hobby.
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 turn that into you're being violent, you're threatening us.
dan friesen
So at the end there, you kind of get the sense of what he's really the in it.
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.
That's just, 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 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.
Yep.
jordan holmes
And why should any, 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?
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 give up that 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.
Because he's giving it up!
Right.
No, it's just like anybody who's kind of too loose-lipped will inevitably just say, This is what I'm doing.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
And he does it all the time.
If you just pay attention instead of just going for the chosen clip of outrage du jour, you'll hear it be just very clearly like, you stepped into my trap.
Yeah, you kind of did.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I don't know, right?
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 I'm going to do.
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.
jordan holmes
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 there's this might be a tiny bit true on his end, like that he's doing that intentionally, and part of it is saving face.
Because I don't think if you watch the 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.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
Anyway, this is 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.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
A lot of lies about friends.
jordan holmes
A lot of lies about friends on the radio.
unidentified
Just the radio version of friends, though.
dan friesen
So, I mean, like, what that, 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.
You have to it 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 when you're even, 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 is talking about the globalists have chosen demographically the Chinese and the Islamic, the Muslim populations of the world.
I'm 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 left.
jordan holmes
No, no, don't talk about the Afrikaners.
alex jones
They're not the only 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 and they left all over.
And you can bet you about them all day, but then everybody wants to get into the countries that Protestant Christian worth ethics set up.
Don't steal from people, have just courts.
Doesn't mean we're perfect.
But everybody wants to get in the white Protestant countries.
unidentified
Hmm.
dan friesen
Hmm.
The end 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 - I don't know.
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.
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 a thought that I'm embarrassed we have not brought up.
jordan holmes
What's up?
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'd never really embarrassed that I never put those pieces together because I was too busy looking into, 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, the best example of this is really what white people did with America.
unidentified
Yep.
isaac kappy
Yep.
dan friesen
That's the exact thing.
isaac kappy
Yep.
dan friesen
Crazy.
isaac kappy
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, is like in defiance of reality.
dan friesen
Not true.
jordan holmes
We might be aliens.
For real.
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.
Is there some sort of evil gland?
Do we have it?
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 at 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.
unidentified
Interesting.
jordan holmes
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 matter.
jordan holmes
Oh, my God.
Guys, go to bed.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Fucking piss your pants somewhere else.
Get a diaper.
dan friesen
That's a great way to put it on.
jordan holmes
Also, New York Times, 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.
And 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, like, you know, 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?
Well, what?
dan friesen
But here's the thing.
jordan holmes
Personal choice?
I 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 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 Pennsylvania.
There's a bunch of 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.
Like Fresno.
He 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.
dan friesen
That I think is a very interesting thing.
jordan holmes
I knew the history of the Pennsylvania Dutch and the like, but did not know that.
dan friesen
Not know the Anabaptist aspect of it.
jordan holmes
Fantastic.
I'm glad to learn that.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's very interesting.
Like when I hated growing up going to Mennonite churches because they're mostly a bummer.
jordan holmes
Right, they're 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.
It's fucking crazy.
unidentified
It's okay.
jordan holmes
It's okay, Dan.
It's okay.
You're preemptively defensive.
You're preemptively defensive.
dan friesen
So there was 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, like 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 trachole.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
It was terrifying as a kid.
jordan holmes
No!
dan friesen
It was just so awful.
unidentified
No!
dan friesen
And then 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 styx.
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 Mennoniteism 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.
Personally, you loosened up on that a little bit, but also you should get re-baptized as an adult if you want if you mean it.
The idea of like rum springa with the Amish, the ability to go check out the world and to leave all that.
And then also there's such an emphasis on service within the Mennonite community and the Amish community.
The idea of like doing things for other people, even if you're not praised for it, is really important.
I love that.
As an adult, I've come to like, 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
I don't look back on that.
But the Mennonite stuff, I kind of have 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
Yeah.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
But the way I always answered 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.
unidentified
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 some.
I know enough to know that Alex knows nothing.
alex jones
You know, the Amish don't have Amish.
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.
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 of the Amish.
It's like, oh, they're a separate community.
They don't have this.
It's absolutely been debunked.
jordan holmes
Also, why not?
If you're going to pull this lifespan shit, talk about Okinawa.
Sure.
They live longer and everybody looks the same until they're 95, and then they get real old real fast, but everybody's fine.
dan friesen
That's because they all eat rice.
jordan holmes
Sure, fine, whatever.
They don't get autism because they eat rice.
dan friesen
Rice vaccine.
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 the Amish do.
They have some secret programs people don't really know about that I know about.
I talked to some of the people.
They like to get highly decorated chimeras.
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 genite bloodlines.
jordan holmes
What?
alex jones
The whole family.
What?
Wait, what?
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, hold on yards, and then they shut them out.
Little side factoids.
Doesn't really matter.
The thing about knowledge, though, it's so addicting.
Like, you want to learn more, Because there's just so much to know.
It kind of sounds wild, but it's like going to a sperm bank.
They just trust a sperm bank.
jordan holmes
No, it's not.
It's not like going to a sperm bank at all.
dan friesen
I'll tell you.
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.
unidentified
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 is that.
jordan holmes
Is there a number?
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.
Oh, do you think that being something that's very addictive?
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.
There's a whole rich tradition online of sort of Amish fiction that has to do with the idea of how different that world is.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
So people sort of do these.
jordan holmes
It's slash fic.
dan friesen
Exactly.
They create these sort of ideas that are believable enough to people who know nothing.
And then this one is sort of caught on a little bit in the internet world.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
Yeah, the idea that they stud out dudes.
jordan holmes
Like, that's just a hodgepodge of, like, the moment he said, you know, like Orthodox Jews do, you're like, all right, well, that's somebody who threw in a bullshit thing from what Orthodox Jews do and then just threw it in there.
dan friesen
So the.
jordan holmes
That's not even good.
It's not even creative.
dan friesen
Well, the idea that, like, because there's two problems.
One is if this daughter is...
unidentified
Is there only two?
dan friesen
Well, if this daughter isn't married, the Amish are against premarital sex.
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 of, again, what it comes back to is this othering of other populations.
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 sisters and your brothers, like all country folk do.
So here's the problem.
There are tons and tons of separate communities around the country.
A lot of them fairly close together.
Like the Pennsylvania Dutch is something that is notorious.
It's not one group.
There's a bunch of different groups.
So often people will.
jordan holmes
It's not called Dave's Pennsylvania Dutch.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Right.
It's not a whole, 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.
unidentified
It's not.
dan friesen
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
Who's problem-solving skills wind out there?
dan friesen
It doesn't seem 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.
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 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.
Right.
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.
There is a multi-nationality lineage to that population.
jordan holmes
Not least of which because it was a religious thing, not a thing that you can't say about the Romani.
dan friesen
You can't say that they all come from X country.
jordan holmes
They're not.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
There's people who get forced around and end up in nomadic existences, which is much more.
It tends to be that case.
jordan holmes
Because if you're a nomad, you wind up interbreeding with a whole host of different people.
dan friesen
Sure.
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.
unidentified
I don't say it is a Anasazi wiles.
dan friesen
Did it right.
I like these soft slurs you can use.
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.
That's true.
But this is one of those things.
And I know that the only reason I'm driving this home so hard is because I don't know.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
It's so offensive because of how much the narrative invalidates what those people believe.
You know what I mean?
There's no way they would choose this as an option because it would undo their faith to begin with.
jordan holmes
Right.
secondarily there's no way that this is true because it comes from a fucking message board right anyway but that's such a 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.
dan friesen
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 a Amish lady.
dan friesen
Through a sheet, yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah, fuck yeah.
dan friesen
The other thing, too.
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 like those reality shows that came out.
There were like that, I don't remember the name of it, but there was that one about like Amish justice where there was a guy with a big stick who would go around and like.
jordan holmes
Do you remember that?
dan friesen
There was a terrible reality show.
jordan holmes
That's the guy with the big stick.
dan friesen
Well, there's 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 watched that show and like, this doesn't ring fucking true at all.
So I asked my dad, because my dad's obviously much more plugged in with Red Knight communities, Amish communities around.
And he was like, this is one of the most laughable.
It's so fake.
It's absolutely one of the most like, 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 Sonia dates?
dan friesen
Are you talking about that tall Brigitte?
Yeah.
Brigitte.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
No, that was flavor of love.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
unidentified
Sorry.
dan friesen
How dare you?
Sorry.
Dare you invalidated yourself.
Rock of Love was with Brett Michaels for two seasons.
And then there was the Rock of Love bus.
That was another one.
unidentified
Right.
All right.
dan friesen
It's just him.
jordan holmes
There's a Rock of Love bus.
dan friesen
And he's just banging droopies on a bus.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Well, good for him.
dan friesen
It was a mess.
jordan holmes
That's a good day.
dan friesen
Shows a mess.
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 for succulent hot dogs.
Well, are these as 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 10 dudes a day, whatever.
The point is, is that that's what's going on on your taxpayer time.
He's not watching sports tenor three hours a day up there, okay?
Okay.
And then the report is, you know, he's got, you know, well, I'm not going to get into it on a family show.
unidentified
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
Well, before we deconstruct that.
jordan holmes
What is Amtrak then?
dan friesen
Before we deconstruct that, I want to tell the audience that when Alex said Obama's having sex with 10 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.
Let's say it's.
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 10 minutes, right?
Yeah.
So let's pretend that each time it takes three minutes more or so.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
10 plus 13 plus 16 plus 19.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
22 plus 25.
That's going to take all day to find out.
unidentified
It's a busy day.
jordan holmes
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, and you can't give attention to 10 dudes at the same time.
unidentified
You know, this is ludicrous.
jordan holmes
One.
Okay, first off, Dan.
dan friesen
He's probably just watching Sports Center.
jordan holmes
You are selling Obama short.
dan friesen
I know he has skills.
jordan holmes
That is a man who can toss off 10 dudes in a heartbeat.
dan friesen
Please.
jordan holmes
Look, just if you were even in his presence, you'd be like, and you would shake with orgasmic rage.
unidentified
If you're saying to me that you could not control yourself.
dan friesen
All things being equal, if you're saying to me that Obama blows 10 dudes a day, that's different.
Because then, oh, look at this asshole spelling.
Because then there's no sock rag.
At that point, there's no refractory period to consider because it's 10 different dicks.
You know what I'm saying?
But if he's having sex with 10 dudes, that implies that his dick is involved.
And if that's the case, he's got a nut 10 times.
jordan holmes
I'm saying that it's not even him blowing dudes.
I'm saying that there are 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 10 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 Monet.
dan friesen
I just don't.
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.
isaac kappy
Anyway, sir.
jordan holmes
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 10 dudes' dicks.
unidentified
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.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
We have 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.
It's almost like they want to get into those white Protestant countries.
Wait, no, don't they want?
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.
jordan holmes
Wait, wait, wait.
Why is he explaining it?
Because the answer is obvious.
dan friesen
Lack of skill.
jordan holmes
So many.
dan friesen
Doesn't have it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Even mad 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.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's why he's not.
jordan holmes
A lot of different reasons.
dan friesen
That's what we would say.
jordan holmes
Alex.
What's your name?
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 induct you.
And the Mexican mafia or in the Aryan nations or whatever group you're in, you know, reportedly you got to go kill somebody to become a made member.
Italian mafia the same way.
You got to make your bones.
jordan holmes
Sure.
alex jones
But to get into Hollywood, you got to make your bones with a 13-year-old girl.
That's the bare minimum.
That's Roman Polanski.
You get 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.
I know the very production companies 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.
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
So we work for Lucifer.
That's very direct.
dan friesen
Bro, Lucifer signs our checks.
unidentified
Yo.
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?
I mean, assuming that story is true, because it's secondhand coming from Mark Dice to Alex Jones, which is a tenuous link in the game of telephone.
Like, 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 got to be in with Lucifer, that's more him being like, I don't want your show.
jordan holmes
Hey, Mark, I don't want you around.
Mark, we like your show idea, but I'm going to tell you this right now.
And you're, listen, I like your show, but I got to go up to my boss, and Lucy is not a huge fan of it.
alex jones
That means you're working for Lucifer.
dan friesen
That's also a possibility.
unidentified
All right.
jordan holmes
No, it's just, no, she's really nice.
Lucy-goosey?
No, I don't know.
dan friesen
My boss, Bell.
I don't know if you've met Belle.
jordan holmes
Bell Lucifer?
dan friesen
Belle Zebub.
jordan holmes
Bell Zeebub.
alex jones
Yeah.
unidentified
Oh, there we go.
dan friesen
It's a common name.
jordan holmes
All right.
All right.
dan friesen
I don't know.
This is so stupid.
Like, I don't know.
There's a point at which us trying to Play with what might actually be talked about.
It's kind of like, what are we even doing?
unidentified
What's the point?
dan friesen
What's the point of this?
What was the point?
So in this next clip.
jordan holmes
Listen, bro, we work for Hades.
dan friesen
Right.
I mean, that's so absurd.
Fine.
It's perhaps the most silly thing you could possibly present as true.
And then the second level of it is, who wants Mark Dice?
The idea.
The very idea.
jordan holmes
That Lucifer is recruiting Mark Dice.
dan friesen
The idea that Satan, the shoot devil, the literal devil, is like this guy.
jordan holmes
Good morning star.
This guy has it.
He's second in command to God himself.
dan friesen
I want him, but you've got to 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.
Agreed.
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.
jordan holmes
Les Morvez is criminal.
dan friesen
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 pitch 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 all down.
jordan holmes
Burn it down.
Just burn it all down.
Burn it all down.
Have we considered burning it all down?
dan friesen
You're getting real close to Ralphie Mae's.
jordan holmes
Blow it up.
Ralphie in peace.
Is he dead?
dan friesen
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 stories, like, he had so many different stories of, like, he was alternately the most mean and then alternately the most generous.
Like, I know people who've all of a sudden he's been like, yeah, I will pay for your entire life.
And you're 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.
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 like, remember when you were hosting at Zaney's, you were being like, there's going to be a long video before this.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
They had the same thing at Deja Vu.
But it would be who's coming up like a month from now.
jordan holmes
Right, right.
dan friesen
So Ralphie Mae was coming in a month and a half or whatever.
And then so he did 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 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 say, she couldn't say shit.
Her genre was wrecked.
Like, is that a joke?
What is that?
jordan holmes
Wow.
dan friesen
Why is that in the sizzle?
jordan holmes
Wow.
dan friesen
Why is that?
jordan holmes
I don't know.
dan friesen
That's going to get me to come to the show?
jordan holmes
Look, look.
You hear something like that.
You think, I got to go see what the fuck is wrong with this guy.
unidentified
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.
dan friesen
He's like, I'm going to stand here and let y'all get used to this amount of orange on the stage.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
So, hey, so let me.
Oh, I hate those jokes so fucking much.
unidentified
Hold on.
jordan holmes
I hate those jokes so fucking much.
dan friesen
So when we would do sets there, sometimes, like, 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 Shar, 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 going to stand here and let you get adjusted to the amount of Shar on stage.
jordan holmes
Zero.
Nothing.
Nothing more.
dan friesen
Except me laughing my ass off about that.
Anyway.
jordan holmes
There's nothing better than a comedian wearing something and then pointing out how crazy it is that he wore it.
dan friesen
Yeah, exactly.
jordan holmes
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.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Anyway, I don't have any of those.
I don't have any of those jokes because I only write.
Like, you got to 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.
I get it.
jordan holmes
I get it.
But he's brilliant.
dan friesen
He spent a lot of his time in L.A.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And we know that one thing from this next clip, and that is that L.A.
jordan holmes
That was a torturous route, but I love it.
dan friesen
Look at that.
Not my best transition.
jordan holmes
It was torturous.
It was torturing.
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 man up.
I can take anything.
I can't go to L.A. Like, I'm flying in.
I feel like I'm dying.
I mean, it's so satanic.
My God, and that's the main enemy attack base.
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 and 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.
It's pretty good.
unidentified
Sure.
jordan holmes
It's pretty good.
Is it?
dan friesen
I mean, in this audience, yeah, it plays.
jordan holmes
Okay, fair enough.
dan friesen
It plays.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
dan friesen
So now, Jordan, I've been teasing this a little bit.
jordan holmes
I didn't get it just for laughs auditions because Montreal is on fire.
dan friesen
Bingo.
It's that.
That same sort of mentality.
Yep.
So I've been teasing that there's a guest coming up.
You have no idea who this dude is.
I don't.
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 globalist trying to brainwash humanity, turn off our life force, turn off our survival instinct.
Hollywood is your 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
He's coming out in this whole plethora of sex stuff happening and pedophile news and James Gunn worshiping 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.
I was 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, who he is like a spirit that embodies Mario's hat.
You can throw him around and stuff.
He's a new character, Cappy.
jordan holmes
Did not know that.
dan friesen
Also reminds me of the movie Chappie.
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.
jordan holmes
What has he been in?
Whoa, boy.
So 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 buster 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 him 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.
alex jones
I mean, that's a distractionary tactic to change the subject.
But, I mean, I don't really follow Hollywood.
I know who you were.
So I'm just saying you're an established guy.
isaac kappy
Sure, sure, sure.
jordan holmes
I never threatened Paris Hilton?
dan friesen
Jackson.
Michael Jackson's daughter.
jordan holmes
Paris Jackson.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
Has alleged that this guy, Isaac Cappy, choked her at a party.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
Yeah.
To the point where it's being reported in some, you never know how sincere, like sort of gossipy blogs are or gossip websites are.
Sure.
You know, 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.
unidentified
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.
Gossip news.
jordan holmes
I was really originally, I was trying to find very because my first thought was like, wait, did he threaten the city of Paris?
No.
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 reign 50 cals all over the place.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
So that shooting spree.
jordan holmes
So then, yeah, he did it.
Whatever it is.
unidentified
So he did.
dan friesen
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 really.
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, like he was an Iron Man.
He was in Terminator Salvation.
jordan holmes
What?
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.
But if you look into it, he hasn't even worked in anything in 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
I was never an Iron Man.
dan friesen
No, you wish you were.
You're part of the MCU.
If you could only be an extra.
unidentified
If you could only have been an extra in Marvel's cinematic universe.
jordan holmes
He's been 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 MCU.
jordan holmes
Wait, what?
All right.
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.
Got ugly.
isaac kappy
I love you.
dan friesen
Got ugly.
jordan holmes
I love everyone.
dan friesen
So Alex has already in the introduction said that this guy was going to be inducted into this satanic order in Hollywood.
jordan holmes
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 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?
Like, 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.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
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.
Like, he goes on Periscope.
He does some of that bullshit.
And he's said that Seth Green's a pedophile and all this shit over and over again.
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.
jordan holmes
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.
unidentified
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.
Those sorts of things.
All right.
Oh, and the other thing is, like, when I was saying that I'm not sure if I believe gossip sites, but take this for what you will.
Yeah.
They were reporting that based on what he did to Paris Jackson, she has had to move.
Like, she's had to move because he knows where she lives, and he has kept trying to contact her.
That sort of thing.
I mean, 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, 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.
You are definitely like.
You know what it is?
It's the ninth inning.
It's tied, and you have to pitch first.
That's what it is.
jordan holmes
top of the night.
dan friesen
No, wait, that's not, no, that doesn't work.
jordan holmes
That's top of the ninth.
dan friesen
Yeah, I know.
jordan holmes
Bottom of the ninth is on bad.
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 sucking that.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
dan friesen
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
All 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.
Why are we playing hockey?
dan friesen
Three overtime.
jordan holmes
There's no hockey.
dan friesen
It's 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.
isaac kappy
Okay.
alex jones
All right, we'll continue, though.
So 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 this TV.
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.
This is 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.
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 it, Martini.
I'm 15 years old.
I'm like, I'm out of here.
jordan holmes
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 it's just we're, you know, 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 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 Marymore?
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 be at a party in Hollywood where, like you said, child actors might be there.
jordan holmes
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 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
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.
jordan holmes
You don't risk that kind of thing.
Wait, wait, wait.
dan friesen
You're committing a major crime.
Why would you kid over the game?
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 it's 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 tough.
That's 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.
jordan holmes
It can be all three.
dan friesen
And I will give Alex some credit that, like, like I said, I've brought this up a couple times.
He had misgivings about the idea of talking to this guy.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I will.
jordan holmes
He doesn't sound like he has misgivings right now, though.
But it sounds like he's jumping in whole hog.
dan friesen
I will tip my hat to him for at least having that kind of, you know, that sort of awareness that, like, this could go really badly.
And at this point, it's not going really badly.
Alex is trying to get him to, you know, 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.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's get the vague narrative together that I want.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
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 swearing carrying the narrative here, is what he's doing.
dan friesen
He's hoping to.
Yeah.
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.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But Alex gets kind of like, just tell me your goddamn information.
Like, because I think even he heard that, like, 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.
dan friesen
That's weak.
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.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
And then he got in trouble and had to apologize to James Aliphantis.
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.
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.
unidentified
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.
Not 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.
Should 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.
jordan holmes
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 to that.
alex jones
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
Here's the data.
Okay, let's just be really concise about it.
Seth Greed, 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.
All right?
dan friesen
That sounds like someone who's not being sincere.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
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 he.
jordan holmes
With toys and puppets.
dan friesen
Oh, that's an interesting theory.
jordan holmes
This 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.
jordan holmes
All right, that's different.
isaac kappy
Mind you, after that experience, I tried to block it out and just laugh it off because it's hard, you know, because you trust these people.
I love them.
I love them so much.
I love them.
And then, you know, 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 pedophile codebird for very young child.
jordan holmes
Or his show, Robot Chicken.
isaac kappy
Tommy'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 his show in the air for 13 years?
jordan holmes
The show he does called Robot Chicken?
dan friesen
It's very much still an action.
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.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
It's like if you and I were like I was saying, hey, we need to talk about knowledge, Dan.
dan friesen
No, 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.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like we got to go talk about this fight.
jordan holmes
I'm not talking about that's what 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.
unidentified
That is 100% what he probably is 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, like, you facetiously like, this proves it.
Again, guest room, bitch.
I hate that I said bitch there, but like, it's so stupid.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
dan friesen
Like, you have it.
You could easily, like, if you have a mansion, the idea is, like, I know from some experience watching the lifestyles of the rich and famous.
unidentified
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.
They like to stay, and maybe you would want to allow the kids to have their own room if they come and stay.
Could be.
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.
Let's say I were to, I don't know, perfect world.
I end up, we become super successful with this podcast.
unidentified
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.
But sometimes you like to have a vacation in Europe.
jordan holmes
But you want to go to France.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
You have kids.
I have a room dedicated for when you come and visit in my chateau.
jordan holmes
Sure.
unidentified
That is something that, like, that makes perfect sense.
dan friesen
My brother, like, what you don't have to do.
My brother has a huge house.
unidentified
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.
Or state to state.
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.
jordan holmes
It's like setting fire to someone's house and they come out and you just have a checkbook with $100 bills is how I would start fires on other people's homes.
dan friesen
So they come out of the house that's burned 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?
jordan holmes
You have nailed my rich person fantasy scenario.
dan friesen
That's horrible.
But I do like it.
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 a better house.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
It's a slight inconvenience.
jordan holmes
But you are helping the working man.
I am the worst Robin Hood there's ever been.
I'm a joyriding Robin Hood, is what I'm doing.
dan friesen
You're an upfront, abusive Robin Hood.
Pays off on the back end.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
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 got to do.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I like that.
I like that.
You put them up in the hotel.
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 behaves.
Okay.
dan friesen
Anyway, here's what you do.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
All that stuff.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
You bring a recorder as you watch the house burn.
unidentified
The podcast is them watching the house burn.
jordan holmes
So now I'm doing a podcast with them as their husband.
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.
The other end of this, you're going to have a better house.
I think it would be a great podcast.
unidentified
There's ethical issues with it, but there are a few.
dan friesen
I think that could be a mini-series on.
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.
unidentified
Okay.
All right.
dan friesen
No, no, you're not going to be able to do it.
jordan holmes
What about the Nick next?
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 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.
Gets one sentiment items.
jordan holmes
Ooh.
And then on the podcast.
Then we'll talk about their sentimental item and why it was that they chose that.
And then there'll be the crackling of, well, roast marshmallows.
It'll be fantastic.
dan friesen
This is the best idea for a podcast.
This is right up there with that TV show with the I Can Save the Show, the stand-up show that we pitched.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's right.
dan friesen
Yeah, 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.
dan friesen
I'm so good at this.
Anyway.
jordan holmes
What were we talking about again?
dan friesen
So Isaac.
jordan holmes
This dude is accusing Seth Green of being a pedophile.
Is that how we got on to the I'm going to burn down homes as a podcast show?
dan friesen
Well, we had to talk about something real.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
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 got to be honest, Alex finally shows somewhere withal as a journalist in this clip.
jordan holmes
Here we go.
dan friesen
I don't like giving props to Alex.
Right, of course.
This is as close as it's going to 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 Sasha Barrow.
unidentified
Hold on.
alex jones
Sasha Barrow 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.
alex jones
Okay.
isaac kappy
So ask yourself, why would someone say, we need to have a conversation about chicken?
How does that make any sense?
alex jones
Yeah, but that isn't proof of him.
isaac kappy
Alex, please stop fucking interrupting me, brother.
alex jones
It paused.
Or delete that.
Go ahead.
We're on radio and TV.
We can't say cuss words.
I'm on getting a race.
That's fine.
I don't know how someone's 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.
alex jones
Eating.
isaac kappy
And I say, well, to be quite honest, when that hit me, I was like, this wave of dread.
Because 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.
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 on Seth Green's celebrity.
It's fucking nonsense.
And now, again, you know what?
A week from now, it could come out that Seth Green's a monster.
And hey, I still don't believe this guy.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
I'm not defending Seth Green.
I'm saying this guy's story is shit.
isaac kappy
Yeah.
dan friesen
That's all.
And I love that Alex, like, because he's been burned in the past, is like, he said chicken.
unidentified
That's not proof of him.
jordan holmes
Alex is at a, 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.
unidentified
Oh.
jordan holmes
With his shitty underlings.
dan friesen
And his audience.
jordan holmes
Like, it's so much like.
For real, you're going to 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
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 you can't call a show that.
So I said to him what I did.
jordan holmes
And also, it wasn't.
dan friesen
So why don't we call the show a living, walking, qualude?
Why don't we call it human sedative?
And then David Knight's like, I just want to call it something.
I was like, I don't think that's going to market 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 dumbest periscope things.
He said, you've got to interview this guy.
I said, 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.
jordan holmes
No one's watching.
unidentified
Everyone hates me now.
dan friesen
You understand?
unidentified
I am fucking in the hopper.
dan friesen
You come on my show and say that Seth Green's a pedophile.
This is going to blow back on me.
Now, I would love to have this dance.
In other circumstances, I would love to do it.
jordan holmes
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.
jordan holmes
Oh, my God.
He never flexes.
This is the problem with this not being a live show.
If every one of our, every single one of our listeners that heard that rant was like, yeah, and they just started fucking clapping.
That was perfect.
Nobody understands Alex Jones better than you do, and you should cry.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
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, oh, that was beautiful.
dan friesen
I usually have no signs.
jordan holmes
That was beautiful.
dan friesen
I usually have no sorry insane.
Pause that.
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 it.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he threw it.
I almost, I kept finding, like I was writing in my head, like, oh, he didn't say fucking because you can't say fucking.
No, he totally did.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yep.
jordan holmes
That's great.
dan friesen
Yep.
Alex is the only one who gets to say fucking on this show.
I'm not a fucking Russian agent at once.
Fill your hand.
Fill your hand.
jordan holmes
By the way, you can go to fillyourhand.com and redirect you to KnowledgeFight.com.
dan friesen
And click support the show.
You need to know.
So the other thing, dude, is that, like, okay, I've made it very clear.
I don't believe this guy.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I think this is thin, the thinnest soup 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 who you're base?
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 libel.
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
know what it's if i you are you are without any evidence other than he said chicken making a horrible claim about somebody 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?
Come on.
dan friesen
They need me to shut up because it's so true.
jordan holmes
Because I've murdered so.
unidentified
That is the wrong wrong angle.
jordan holmes
That's not a good angle.
dan friesen
So you're too good at this.
And I was hoping to like I was hoping to never discuss that Seth Green's show is called Robot Chicken.
jordan holmes
How would 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
For so many long years.
dan friesen
It premiered in 2005.
But the reason that I was hoping to 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 book, which again, I've got to give him props for.
alex jones
Let me ask you this question, Kevy.
You're really good buddies.
We looked it up.
We didn't just believe you.
No, you're not.
With Seth Green going back for years.
So suddenly you're turning against him.
His show is called Robot Chicken.
You make this chicken joke.
Is this not the ultimate outdoing Sasha Barron 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 because all these people got tricked by Sasha Baron Cohen, that now he has to be like really on his guard.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
That, like, wait a second.
Your proof is that he said chicken.
This show is robot chicken.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Are you just some sort of weird prank that's going on?
Is it like, I like that.
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.
I appreciate that.
I was.
dan friesen
That's like watching a child find the wrong but interesting solution to a problem.
Yeah.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
All right.
So 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
Yeah.
unidentified
You're wrong.
jordan holmes
That's not what we're going for.
dan friesen
But you're thinking.
jordan holmes
You're appreciating.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's creativity, at least.
unidentified
That's how low the bar is for Alex.
jordan holmes
I know.
dan friesen
The fact that his brain does that.
jordan holmes
Legitimately, legitimately shocked.
Shocked that he actually brought up Robot Chicken at all.
Yeah, yeah.
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 Sasha 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.
No, I don't think – I don't know if it's – I'm not saying it's Sacha Baron Cohen specifically.
dan friesen
Not entirely.
jordan holmes
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 whole, 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 Sasha 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 like 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 about him choking Paris Jackson.
Right.
Because there are people from his past who have anonymously posted on these forums about knowing him and him being an attention kind of whore guy.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Then also there are stories.
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.
They say that he's tried to, in private messages, get people who are quote-unquote whistleblowers to identify themselves as if it were a doxing operation.
Like trying to get private information from people.
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, 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.
You know, like 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.
jordan holmes
Right, right.
dan friesen
And we're in the middle of the interview, and it is not him.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
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.
dan friesen
So he gets all.
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 hotheadness cools.
And then he's like, yeah, I know they are fucking kids in Hollywood.
So, you know, 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.
And he has to use the delay.
And then Alex is just like, yeah, right, you're cool.
What?
He didn't say anything to prove his point.
jordan holmes
He's still Alex.
unidentified
He's still out.
dan friesen
He's still Alex.
He's still out.
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.
They have already done.
jordan holmes
We've got what we wanted to get.
dan friesen
Everything else that Isaac Cabby says is all just like the same shit.
And like, well, I think this, like, no information at all.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So we've dealt with him having the child delivery.
We've heard him say that Seth Green has a false room in his house and some plush animals and that he talks about chicken.
However, this is the most important clip 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.
isaac kappy
Here we go.
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 materials.
alex jones
Well, I'm a whistleblower.
I've been at private super A-list deals, and I'm like, those girls are not 16.
Maybe 16.
I mean, you have.
isaac kappy
Oh, I don't doubt you have, but you haven't been intimate friends with these people like I have.
Maybe you have and haven't talked about it.
Yeah, I'm assuming there.
You know, I know a lot of people in Hollywood.
unidentified
And the clip's not done.
dan friesen
The clip's not done.
But that's the greatest thing ever.
jordan holmes
I bet you do.
You fucking know Seth Green.
What do you think?
Seth Green is your A-lister?
Come on, man.
dan friesen
Two guys are trying to ping-pong back.
jordan holmes
It's turned into a dick measuring contest about friends.
dan friesen
Yeah.
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 who runs a TV network that plays Alex.
Like, he has some sort of maybe a satellite TV channel and he plays InfoWar shows on it.
I haven't played any of him because his voice is a disaster.
It's just like the movie phone guy.
He has like a hey, I'm a broadcaster.
And he's just an idiot.
He doesn't say anything worthwhile.
But he's sitting next to them.
While they're bickering, first of all, the whole thing about chicken, he's just silently sitting there.
But then also, while they're bickering here about like, you know, like, you know, hey, I'm sure you've been to the parties, but you're not like good friends with them.
alex jones
Yeah, but you don't know.
unidentified
You don't know.
dan friesen
I know a lot of celebrities.
unidentified
I bet you do.
jordan holmes
I bet you.
dan friesen
So here's where that goes.
alex jones
Gee, the top people that tried to recruit me were the producers and the directors, 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.
jordan holmes
Oh, shit!
No one wins.
alex jones
I know the big producers and the doctors.
unidentified
Well, it should be the South Korean 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, South Korean 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.
And then, without admitting that he's wrong, moves on to another point.
So it's like, what are you guys doing?
unidentified
Wasn't this about the kid victims?
dan friesen
Why are you guys pissing comments?
jordan holmes
Seriously.
Go to bed.
alex jones
Come back to it.
dan friesen
Yes, go to bed.
unidentified
Go to bed.
jordan holmes
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.
And I mentioned this earlier, a friend of mine who I'm not going to name because that's 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.
alex jones
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.
They were super cool.
I was asocial.
I had trouble with stuff.
And they were super nice to me.
They made me feel very welcome and comforted.
I haven't spoken to them in a long time chronological terms.
jordan holmes
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.
Man.
jordan holmes
All right, come on.
Let's do it.
dan friesen
This is so good.
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 zap or a big web where they can now be in charge.
And the cheerless 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.
dan friesen
So Pope Francis likes to make it.
jordan holmes
So Pope Francis makes people eat poo in general or his poop?
dan friesen
It's hard to say based on pronoun reference, but I would assume I would assume it's his, right?
jordan holmes
Do you think so?
dan friesen
Well, because Alex is.
jordan holmes
I mean, he's the Pope.
He hasn't flown in from many different places.
dan friesen
Oh, he gets that boutique.
jordan holmes
This is Vatican poo.
dan friesen
Artisanal poo.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
No, because Alex is saying that they crap all over them, which implies that the agency is on you.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
You are the crapper and the crappy.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but that's metaphorical.
dan friesen
Politically.
jordan holmes
What are we doing?
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
What is this?
What is going on?
God damn it.
God damn it, Dan.
What is going on?
Are we adults?
Are we adults?
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Are there adults around?
dan friesen
I'm glad this is a Friday show.
jordan holmes
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 happen 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.
Yes.
Which is confirmed.
Earlier, he said that Obama is fucking 10 dudes a day and that the Amtrak means something else, which we do not know what America is.
jordan holmes
I have no idea what that is.
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, this is a family show.
jordan holmes
No, it's not.
That's right.
I forgot.
I forgot that he uses it's a family show to describe why.
dan friesen
Like Scott Ackerman on Comedy Bang Bang as a joke is like, that's not that kind of show.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But Alex is legitimately saying, like, this is a family show.
jordan holmes
Hey, hold on.
This is for the.
dan friesen
You're talking about the Pope making a show.
jordan holmes
No, don't you know how the family gathers around like what are you doing?
dan friesen
It's like I hate him in the present because there's nothing really of substance.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And it's all this nonsense bullshit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
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 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 you know what I you know if I had to give a like a broad prediction I would I would say that like the Pope is going to make somebody eat shit first.
Abroad.
jordan holmes
Abroad.
dan friesen
No, I think by that I mean overseas.
jordan holmes
Is that what you mean?
dan friesen
Yeah, man.
The thing that I'm going to predict.
jordan holmes
Two popes, one cup.
dan friesen
The thing that I, well, there are two alive now.
The thing that I'm going to predict is that like from all.
jordan holmes
You forgot the dark pope, though.
There's three.
dan friesen
The black pope in Solomon's Temple.
There's three at least.
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's 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.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So whatever.
Just live your life, you know, 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 that 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 they?
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 crude d'eté while he made these announcements.
unidentified
You know what I'm saying?
jordan holmes
Ain't nothing cruder than his crude d'ete.
You know what I'm saying?
Absolutely.
dan friesen
All the pool reporters were there.
They could smell it.
They could smell it conspiracy.
jordan holmes
Flies.
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 day.
dan friesen
Maybe that's the button.
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 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.
Nothing.
But it would actually make it more confusing.
Okay.
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 one of the black holes, they think.
jordan holmes
Sure.
alex jones
I'm sure spiritual black hole.
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.
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 it will end up killing you.
Be accepting of other people.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
But God comes in and says, no, don't do that.
And because we already know from our outer context drop, Trump is Christ-like.
Do what Christ would do.
jordan holmes
So.
dan friesen
Which is be a monster.
unidentified
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.
It would be tough to get a message out of the thing that sucks in every single time.
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.
unidentified
And shifty messages.
dan friesen
Shifty fucking.
jordan holmes
So black holes spit out a spiritual message willy-nilly at 360 degrees.
unidentified
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 somo.
They're all dead.
All right.
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?
unidentified
Are you trying to get the motivation?
jordan holmes
Well, is there a motivation behind the black hole or is the black hole doing it?
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, you've got this wrong.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
How?
jordan holmes
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 the city.
jordan holmes
And 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.
unidentified
Apologies.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Apologies.
Could be a Chinese person.
dan friesen
Obviously, in Alex's brain, it would present as a Muslim.
jordan holmes
It could be a Chinese person.
That's what I'm saying.
dan friesen
Which you are most afraid of as a white.
unidentified
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 everything.
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.
dan friesen
Throw him in there.
jordan holmes
Yeah, why not?
unidentified
Why not?
dan friesen
He's riding a bar of gold off in the distance for no reason.
jordan holmes
Sure.
And then Trump is the sun.
Yeah, why not?
Why the fuck not?
unidentified
Sure.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Who gives a shit?
I love it, though, man.
That's nonsense.
jordan holmes
Whew, that's bananas.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And also, it's a really fun way to end an episode where Alex is like.
jordan holmes
No, he's.
Wow.
dan friesen
Like, we spent the beginning of this with him defending himself about these very real lawsuits that are happening, and we discuss 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.
dan friesen
We'd be great at it.
We know what we know and what we don't.
We don't pretend to.
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, 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.
Uh-uh.
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.
unidentified
For sure.
dan friesen
Probably just going to let this one slide.
Seth Green doesn't seem litigious.
Who knows?
jordan holmes
He's probably fine.
Anyway, I look forward to seeing the next season of Chicken, 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 how to do it.
unidentified
I don't know.
dan friesen
It 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 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 fights.
dan friesen
Right, not the best Twitter presence in the world.
unidentified
Uh-uh.
dan friesen
But we're all.
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.
Indeed, we are 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.
jordan holmes
Hell yeah.
unidentified
Which is great.
dan friesen
Maybe it's not that many people total, but it's fucking awesome.
For our weird community, non-fan-having comedians, one who's quit doing a 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, OiTunes.
OiTunes is where you can go.
Sure.
dan friesen
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.
jordan holmes
You know what'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.
Anyway.
What else do we got?
It's your turn.
It's 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, 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.
jordan holmes
Hello, Alex.
I'm a first-time caller.
unidentified
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
