Today, Dan and Jordan check in on what Alex Jones is up to in the present day and find both very expected and very surprising things. On the very expected side, Alex gets super bigoted, then spends a disproportionate amount of his show talking about how he should be more cocky about how good his body is. On the more surprising end, Alex Jones announces that he just sold out his audience to what is embarrassingly probably the highest bidder.

Hello, Alex. | |
| I'm a first-time caller. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm a huge fan. | |
| I love your work. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| Hey, everybody. | ||
| Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| We're a couple dudes who like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about that boy, Alex Jones. | ||
| Indeed we are, Dan. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Dan? | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| When was the last time you played Pokemon? | ||
| Last time? | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| I'll tell you what. | ||
| Never. | ||
| Never? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You didn't even play the original Game Boy Red or Blue? | |
| No, sir. | ||
| No, never. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Never really had a Game Boy to speak of. | ||
| I know this is now becoming the theme for the openings is video game talk. | ||
| This is two times in a row. | ||
| It's not that bad. | ||
| But it's a trend. | ||
| Two times is a trend. | ||
| Two times is not a trend! | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Coincidence. | |
| It's not even a pattern. | ||
| Coincidence or trend. | ||
| It requires three to be a trend. | ||
| Never played Pokemon. | ||
| Wasn't super interested in it. | ||
| Thought it was for nerds. | ||
| I thought about getting into Pokemon Go for one second when it came out, and I said, nah, it's not for me. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| I'd rather read on the bus or something like that. | ||
| So for me. | ||
| It's so much for me. | ||
| I love Pokemon Go. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| I'm level 35, Dan. | ||
| I don't even know how many more I can be. | ||
| How many have you caught? | ||
| Too many. | ||
| All of them? | ||
| Too many. | ||
| Because you have to catch them all. | ||
| I have not caught a Mewtwo. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| What about a Charmander? | ||
| Oh, hell yeah. | ||
| I started with a Charmander, Dan. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| Charmander's been my opening Pokemon since fucking Red in 1990. | ||
| I didn't mean to set you off. | ||
| I only know about three Pokemon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| I know. | ||
| I'm just kidding. | ||
| What about a Bulbasaur? | ||
| That's the other one I know. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Anyway, guys, this is a podcast where Jordan knows a lot about Pokemon, and I don't know anything about Pokemon, except for Charizard and Bulbasaur. | ||
| That's not bad. | ||
| Also, I know a lot about Alex Jones. | ||
| And I only know what you tell me about Alex Jones. | ||
| That is correct. | ||
| Before we get into today's episode, which I teased to Jordan before we started, that it's... | ||
| Probably one of my favorite episodes of Alex's show that I've ever heard. | ||
| It's a big ask to believe that after how many episodes have you listened to and then collectively we listened to? | ||
| I mean, we're over 200 episodes of our show. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And some of those represent like four episodes of Alex's show. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| I would say I'm over a thousand episodes probably of listening to his show. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I believe you. | ||
| I would absolutely say that. | ||
| Because of all the ones I've listened to we haven't talked about. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Like, you've got to consider. | ||
| All the times that you've listened to three episodes. | ||
| Maybe 7-800. | ||
| You think so? | ||
| That's a conservative safe estimate, probably. | ||
| And you've got to consider the ones that I listened to before we ever started this show. | ||
| Well, that does count. | ||
| I didn't listen to them a lot before, but I listened to them plenty. | ||
| I was aware of him. | ||
| I just wasn't paying attention. | ||
| I was like, listen to this fucking bitch. | ||
| Yeah, look at this fucking asshole. | ||
| Look at this guy. | ||
| Look at this guy yell. | ||
| Hey! | ||
| He's a clown! | ||
| Hooray! | ||
| Dance! | ||
| Dance, white supremacist clown. | ||
| Even the KKK needs clowns, Dan. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Send them in! | ||
| We will see if this lives up to the expectation that I have set. | ||
| I hope it does. | ||
| I think it will. | ||
| But no matter what, you know, it does live up to our expectations. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Great transitions? | ||
| And our listeners who have seen fit to donate to the show. | ||
| We appreciate it. | ||
| Oh, so very much. | ||
| Look, we're working towards things. | ||
| I don't know who you are. | ||
| We're working towards things, you know? | ||
| And we really appreciate people helping support the content that they like being put out into the world and they enjoy. | ||
| That's the business model that we have. | ||
| No one is ever probably going to sponsor our show. | ||
| And we appreciate it. | ||
| And so today I'd like to give a shout-out to a couple of new folks who have joined up with the team. | ||
| I'd like to say, first of all, thank you so much. | ||
| Kneelock, you are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| I'd also like to say thank you to someone else who's just joined up and decided to support the team. | ||
| We thank you so much, Crystal. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you very much, Crystal. | ||
| Also, finally, before we get down to business, I'd like to say thank you to someone who took their pledge, their existing pledge, and bumped it up a bit. | ||
| Thank you very much, Mulan, for helping us get down to business. | ||
| We appreciate it. | ||
| Is this a Mulan reference? | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| Let's get down to business. | ||
| Oh, I'd much rather go with Barry Manilow. | ||
| Let's get on with it. | ||
| Let's get on with it. | ||
| I'm just wondering when will my reflection show who I am inside. | ||
| That's copyrighted, man. | ||
| What, quoting? | ||
| I didn't sing it. | ||
| We're not going to get sued. | ||
| You have perfect pitch. | ||
| Did when I was nine. | ||
| Someone who I believe has perfect pitch, though I have not heard her sing, is someone who is now a globalist. | ||
| Thank you so much, Shannon. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||

Four stars. | |
| Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant. | ||
| Someone, someone, Sotomite sent me a bucket of poop. | ||
| Daddy Shark! | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Thank you so much, Shannon. | ||
| If you out there want to support the show, we would appreciate it very much. | ||
| If you feel the stirring in your loins, go for it. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know what that means at all. | ||
| There's a button on our website, knowledgefight.com, up at the top that says support the show. | ||
| Just click it. | ||
| Join up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We appreciate it. | |
| And if you have an advanced copy of the live-action Mulan, even if it's an unedited version, I will watch the shit out of that. | ||
| I'll do it. | ||
| I know you will. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I absolutely will. | |
| This is not an idle threat. | ||
| No. | ||
| So, Jordan, it is Friday, and so, you know, what we do sometimes on Fridays is we check in what the fuck's going on with Alex in 2018. | ||
| Last we checked... | ||
| He'd been kicked off everything, pretty much. | ||
| Apple to app from the Black Eyed Peas have kicked him off. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| This is what happens when I have a little coffee. | ||
| Will, you aren't. | ||
| Yeah, so he's off the iTunes store. | ||
| His app is gone. | ||
| He got kicked off of Twitter. | ||
| And, you know... | ||
| I think the last time we checked in was just after he went to Washington and acted like a dickhole to everybody. | ||
| Right. | ||
| When he was a dickhole to everybody. | ||
| And so, you know, we kind of assumed this is just going to be a diminishing return situation for him. | ||
| He's going to paint himself as a Lenny Bruce-type free speech warrior and whatever. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I felt... | ||
| Slowly lose his mind as his quality declines. | ||
| You know, like Lenny Bruce. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| I felt like, you know, the week's ending. | ||
| We gotta check back in. | ||
| We gotta see what's going on in the world of Alex Jones. | ||
| And what I found is, bar none, the best proof that he is fucking done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| He is done. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Like, I know he's going to keep going, but, like, he is straight... | ||
| Horse-fucking himself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| In the worst way possible. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| I'm teasing this a little bit too much. | ||
| We're schadenfreiding today is what we're doing. | ||
| By the end of... | ||
| Well, only because what he's doing is massively unethical. | ||
| But like... | ||
| I don't mind. | ||
| Only because what he's doing is massively... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| I don't mind taking pleasure in this level of awful because he's going to hurt other people by doing what he's doing. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I don't want to spoil what this is, but by the end of this episode, you guys will understand fully what I'm talking about and you'll laugh too. | ||
| No, this is a lot like if Scott Pruitt was lit on fire right next to me. | ||
| I'd be like, hooray, this is hilarious. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You might. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I might. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Walk away. | |
| You'd walk away. | ||
| I'd be like, look at the time. | ||
| Oh, man! | ||
| Somebody should help this guy. | ||
| I'm going to get out of here, though. | ||
| Someone just tweeted at me. | ||
| Oh, no! | ||
|
unidentified
|
I've got to download Pokemon Go. | |
| Something like that. | ||
| There's a Charmander over there. | ||
| I'm going to see you later, dude. | ||
| I see what you did. | ||
| I know. | ||
| So now let's see what Alex did in an out-of-context drop from today's show. | ||
| My neck is freakishly large. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I don't disagree. | ||
| You got a big old neck, baby. | ||
| I like a guy who can look into the mirror and evaluate himself appropriately. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| I will also say, unrelated to why this is one of my favorite episodes, there's a stretch of this show where Alex is trying to work out some body image issues. | ||
| And it is fucked up. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So we're going to start where Alex starts, which, hey, guys, guess what? | ||
| Now that Alex isn't having to worry about... | ||
| Most of the things he had to worry about before. | ||
| Turns out, he takes a real hard trip back into blood libel territory. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| The stress level, you can cut with a knife right now. | ||
| I could almost not go on air today because of the magnitude and the stress and just how serious things are. | ||
| Not for me. | ||
| People keep asking how I can handle all these unprecedented attacks. | ||
| Only Trump's been attacked more than I. It's now official. | ||
| How's it official? | ||
| How's it official? | ||
| NASA did a survey of all the attacks on people. | ||
| I mean, if Alex wants to use the social media stuff as his big case for it, then he's been attacked more than Trump. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's been attacked almost as much as any woman on Twitter saying things. | ||
| He should up his claim here. | ||
| Like, I'm attacked more than Trump. | ||
| I'm banned. | ||
| From stuff. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| I mean, why not? | ||
| Well, because Trump is his god king. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He can't, you know, he can't over- That would be blasphemy for him. | |
| Exactly. | ||
| He has to still put himself in a subservient position. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like a fucking coward. | ||
| We haven't gotten to the blood libel yet. | ||
| Because the globalists are evil and they're taking our country and our world over, it's the only chance we've got. | ||
| And I've used this analogy many times. | ||
| There have been famous cases where people weren't even good swimmers, but a big ship had dumped over and they had to swim, you know, 50, 100 yards in total darkness to get out and people were able to do it. | ||
| Just like those, you know, kids that had never been scuba diving in the mine collapse that happened a few months ago. | ||
| They got a crash course in it and they made it out. | ||
| It's not courage. | ||
| I am desperately trying to not be a slave. | ||
| I would not be fighting tooth and nail at my own personal risk if we were just being taken over by some superior capital assistant. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| That's a spoiler for later, but hold on. | ||
| Wait, what did he just say? | ||
| He would try and be a part of it. | ||
| What I would do is I would give up on all of my principles and try and be part of the winning team. | ||
| I would sell out if we were being taken over by a superior capitalist system. | ||
| It's almost like something happened in 2015 and I did exactly that. | ||
| Now he's going to do it again. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| At the end of this episode. | ||
| I'm all about adopting things. | ||
| I'm all about things that are better. | ||
| Marrying them. | ||
| I mean, that's what you do. | ||
| I don't want to be at war with everybody, but the globalists are really nasty, devil-worshipping, blood-drinking pedophiles. | ||
| And you know, you see it all over the news. | ||
| Oh, children's blood goes for $18,000 a quart. | ||
| You see that all in the news? | ||
| That's mainstream news this week. | ||
| I told you that 20 years ago. | ||
| What? | ||
| It's in the medical literature. | ||
| I know rich people here in town that told me 10 years ago, I ought to go get children's blood. | ||
| Well, I say that all the time. | ||
| I know people that do it. | ||
| So don't tell me. | ||
| I know. | ||
| And that's why they hate me because the globalists tune in and they go, this guy has got our number. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| $18,000 a quart? | ||
| I don't know what the retail or wholesale price is on children's blood. | ||
| Yeah, what's the MSRP? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But I will tell you what he's talking about is that there's sort of a fad among rich people of like blood transfusions from like youth, younger people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That is something that is real. | ||
| But it's like people who would go to oxygen bars and shit like that. | ||
| It's just some sort of thing that rich people... | ||
| The idol rich needs something weird to sort of get the... | ||
| It's just proof that there's no reason that these people are richer than us other than weird sociopathy and a confluence of luck and events. | ||
| These are all really stupid people. | ||
| Not all of them. | ||
| There's as wide a spectrum as there is in any other walk of life. | ||
| But if you watch a lot of celebrities with... | ||
| What would you call it? | ||
| Unshepherded speech. | ||
| You listen to some of them talk for long periods of time. | ||
| Unfiltered. | ||
| Uncurated. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| You know, that sort of thing. | ||
| They reveal, like, oh, you don't know all that much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Unabridged. | |
| Yeah, yeah, absolutely. | ||
| So, like, yeah. | ||
| And, you know, when you're rich, some, like, really expensive thing comes along. | ||
| They're like, I'm going to fucking do that. | ||
| How many rich people do you think own $10,000? | ||
| crystals you know like it's got Pruitt it's the same sort of thing like when you're really rich you run out of things to spend your money on that you actually need and you start investigating right in youthful right and like a if you were like a human you might say well I'm never going to be able to spend all of this money I have right so why not instead of buy a dumb bullshit $10,000 I could just give it away. | ||
| Now, ironically, then you end up being a globalist in Alex's eyes, like Hamdi Ulukayo, Warren Buffett, the people who have signed the pledge to give away most of their money before they die. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| But then you become a demon, and you're drinking children's blood. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| Which is where we get into the blood libel aspect. | ||
| That is very, literally, anti-Semitic canards from history. | ||
| Pretty much. | ||
| That is an expression, Alex is directly using historical anti-Semitism. | ||
| To paint the globalists as demonic pedophiles who drink children's blood. | ||
| Which, we don't need to get into it again. | ||
| It just bears mentioning, that's overt. | ||
| There's no other way to describe that. | ||
| Because that's not what they're doing. | ||
| No one's drinking blood. | ||
| It's transfusions, and it's stupid novelty bullshit for rich people. | ||
| Have you ever drank blood? | ||
| Only my own. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's like if you have a cut, you do that? | ||
| I don't want to imagine that it would be something that's easy to get through. | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| Like, I wouldn't want to take just a glass out of it, you know? | ||
| I don't even fucking want tomato soup. | ||
| Probably less delicious than tomato soup. | ||
| That's my point. | ||
| That's your point? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I don't want Clamato. | ||
| What other red liquids do you not want? | ||
| Clamato. | ||
| Clamato? | ||
| I already said it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Beat you to it. | ||
| Cranberry is okay. | ||
| Cranberry is okay. | ||
| Beet juice? | ||
| No. | ||
| Have you ever had beet juice? | ||
| That might be the Pokemon of juices. | ||
| I may not have caught that one yet. | ||
| I don't think I've had beet juice. | ||
| See, now we've got a real sponsorship right there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Beet juice. | |
| Anybody who sells beet juice. | ||
| Hook us up for your new slogan, Beet Juice, the Pokemon of juices. | ||
| And imagine the victory of them winning me over. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| You know, just like, I never had Beet Juice. | ||
| Oh, my God, this is the best. | ||
| We would never advertise a product that we don't believe in. | ||
| Dan, I'm guaranteeing if we get a Beet Juice purveyor, then we got it done. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So... | ||
| This is not Alex's main narrative. | ||
| This is just him rambling about bullshit. | ||
| But almost immediately after that clip, he does get into what would be his varsity narrative for this episode. | ||
| And boy, it's thin. | ||
| So, the ultra-massiveness straight ahead. | ||
| I haven't even told you what it is yet. | ||
| There's a hurricane. | ||
| It's not getting attention to serves. | ||
| It's on Infowars.com. | ||
| And it is thousands of armed men in camouflage coming across the U.S. on horseback. | ||
| This is an invasion. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Oh, no! | ||
| The British are coming! | ||
| They're finally coming, Dan! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, boy. | |
| Okay, now, hold on. | ||
| Hold on, and I don't mean to poke a hole in this right away, because I'm sure there's more to it. | ||
| Are you saying are you going to poke him on a hole? | ||
| All right, we're doing this. | ||
| Sorry, too much coffee. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| I'm just saying that maybe if you're riding on horseback... | ||
| The camouflage isn't that big of a deal. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| The horse would have to be camouflaged at that point, too. | ||
| And also a silent horse. | ||
| It would have to be a stealth horse. | ||
| Or a silver stallion, like the highwaymen sing about. | ||
| It's not a mark upon its silky hide. | ||
| If it was silver, you could see even better. | ||
| It doesn't have a mark on its silky hide. | ||
| But it reflects moonlight, at least. | ||
| Eh, sure. | ||
| Look. | ||
| We're going to get into what he's talking about, and suffice it to say, just up top, this is a load of bullshit. | ||
| Thousands of... | ||
| He's being rushed to break, and that's why he's got to describe it so, like, very dramatically and very shortly. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Thousands of men across America with guns on horseback. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And, look, here's the deal. | ||
| There's no way to deal with a threat of this magnitude, Dan. | ||
| I'm laughing about this because it's so stupid, and we'll get into why. | ||
| But, like, legitimately, if that's what he's selling to his audience, the only solution is kill all those people. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I mean, like, because he says this is an invasion. | ||
| If it's an invasion. | ||
| If the country is being invaded, all of his rhetoric would lead to the only conclusion being, find these people. | ||
| And kill them. | ||
| Now, you don't need to kill them, because, as I imagine is the case... | ||
| Alex has screamed over and over again, we will give them no quarter. | ||
| Right, but I mean... | ||
| So that means kill them. | ||
| But I mean, you don't need to. | ||
| It's pretty easy to capture a lot of dudes on horseback, what with the whole modern world we live in. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Like, I imagine if we had just one battalion go back in time, they could win every war. | ||
| Like, by themselves. | ||
| With guns, though. | ||
| Well, yeah, but I mean, throw rocks at them. | ||
| It's basically Genghis Khan, but with guns. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Go back into the Old West and shoot at their horse's legs and make them dance. | ||
| And then they can't run so fast, and then you catch them. | ||
| Put out a strip of road spikes. | ||
| Pop the tires on those horses. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Oh, it threw a shoe! | ||
| Can't compete with that. | ||
| Also, are they using roads? | ||
| What? | ||
| Like, these men on horseback, they're not using roads. | ||
| Where they're going, you don't need roads. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There you go. | |
| So, look, this is some nonsense. | ||
| This is some bullshit. | ||
| I'll get into exactly what he's talking about, I believe, in a couple of clips. | ||
| But Alex has got to percolate on this. | ||
| He's got to really ruminate about how this is just like the movie The Road Warrior in Mexico. | ||
| Because he's talking about people coming across the border. | ||
| Spoiler alert. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Even in the movie The Road Warrior, they had cars, though. | ||
| It's kind of a big deal in the movie The Road Warrior that they did have cars. | ||
| But he's talking spiritually. | ||
| Oh, he isn't describing them as literally coming over on horseback. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| That part is literal. | ||
| That part's literal. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| Part the literal part! | ||
| Look, okay, fuck it. | ||
| I'll get into it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| Let's just move on. | ||
| Go to the next clip. | ||
| I need to give an explanation of just the broad strokes. | ||
| The Daily Caller put out a video that Alex is reporting on that purports to show people crossing the border from Mexico, and there were a couple horses in the video. | ||
| That is why Alex is expressing it. | ||
| Thousands are on horseback. | ||
| He didn't mention in that clip going out to break that it's people coming across the border. | ||
| He's just saying they're coming across America. | ||
| They're coming across America in horseback. | ||
| So, I'll explain in greater detail why this is bullshit in a second, but that, I realize that it's only fair that I explain that much. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Anyway, back to the road warrior thing. | ||
| Thousands of illegal immigrants are being born after being hid inside of horses and walking across the border. | ||
| That's the easiest way to do it. | ||
| Yeah, like tauntauns. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Anyway, here's where we get to the road warrior metaphor, and it gets bad before it gets better. | ||
| It is literally road warrior. | ||
| Type in cartels building their own war wagons and tanks. | ||
| And there is footage that comes out of Mexico. | ||
| YouTube takes it down, though, because they don't want you seeing it. | ||
| Not that it's even violent. | ||
| It is violent, but it's not as graphic as what's on TV. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And it's giant war wagons shooting at each other, attacking, blowing up, running over people. | ||
| And you'll see, like, 15 war wagons and 50-cal machine guns and stuff exploding. | ||
| And people just running. | ||
| And Charlize Theron is there. | ||
| Seven incredible narco tanks built by Mexican cartels. | ||
| Beyond Mad Max says Business Insider. | ||
| See? | ||
| Beyond Mad Max? | ||
| Exactly what I told you. | ||
| It is rogue warrior. | ||
| Except it's not a guy named Humongous going, just give us the gas. | ||
| We spell your lives. | ||
| No, he's not wearing a Jason mask. | ||
| It's not a bunch of gay punk rock dudes that are doing a killing. | ||
| You know, that's sci-fi fiction. | ||
| It is Mexicans with huge satanic tattoos that worship Satan and the Grim Reaper and MS-13 that tortures children to get demonic power. | ||
| Imagine a road warrior like that. | ||
| That's also pretty blood Bible adjacent, quite frankly, but he's talking about Mexicans. | ||
| Still bad. | ||
| That's really bad. | ||
| Yeah, it's real bad. | ||
| That's pretty much the most racist thing you can do. | ||
| Ooh, boy. | ||
| I mean, it's like he's saying. | ||
| It's like Road Warrior, but it's worse because it's Mexican. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And they're demonic Mexicans. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| They're not gay punk rockers. | ||
| No. | ||
| They're demonic. | ||
| Gay punk rockers. | ||
| Alex has really lost any kind of credibility when he calls people demonic, so it's just kind of like a fill-in insult epithet here you can use to misalign these Mexicans. | ||
| They do listen to a lot of Morrissey, though. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Now, it gets worse in this next clip, because he gets back to the Road Warrior thing a little bit later, and he also combines it with another movie reference that is... | ||
| I've never seen footage this powerful. | ||
| It's up on Infowars.com. | ||
| We can't tweet it out, but you can. | ||
| Heavily armed individuals caught on camera entering country illegally through Arizona Ranch. | ||
| And it goes on to say, shows thousands of illegal aliens marching into the United States uninterrupted because there is no border wall, no border patrol to stop them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they have assault rifles. | ||
| And they have horses. | ||
| So, it's like Road Warrior meets Planet of the Apes. | ||
| Where you got people on horseback. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| This is insane. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Nice save. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Because they're on horses. | ||
| It's like Planet of the Apes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Ooh, Alex. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Careful. | |
| Oh, boy. | ||
| It's like this subspecies of human that survived the apocalypse has been combined with this other subspecies of ape. | ||
| And it's not that I'm describing all Mexicans as a subspecies. | ||
| Boy, it's easy for me to do that. | ||
| It sure seems like I am, but like multiple subspecies at the same time. | ||
| So I found this video. | ||
| It's a 25-minute video. | ||
| And actually, if you read the Daily Caller article, this is from like... | ||
| Clips that this guy has had hidden cameras up at his house since 2016. | ||
| So it's over the course of what could be two years and nine months now of footage. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I watched it. | |
| Alex is saying it's thousands of immigrants. | ||
| No, totally, totally. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Equal opportunity. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| So I set out to watch this entire video and count literally every person that's in it. | ||
| Because I'm like, thousands? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| So I watched it. | ||
| I got to the ten minute mark before I saw literally repeated footage. | ||
| It's the same footage. | ||
| No shit. | ||
| And also, if you watch it, it's like, you see the same people from different cameras. | ||
| Like, it's the same group of people at different points. | ||
| Along the way. | ||
| No shit. | ||
| But even assuming that every single person that you see in all of these videos are a unique person, within 10 minutes, I counted 374 people. | ||
| So, extrapolate that out, multiply that by two and a half, you got what? | ||
| Maybe 800 people? | ||
| Yeah, probably that. | ||
| And, like I'm saying, there's repeated people. | ||
| It's nonsense. | ||
| This is all bullshit. | ||
| And some of them do have guns, but the vast majority don't. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Most of them just have big packs on their back. | ||
| And like Alex is saying, that's all drugs. | ||
| But it's equally likely that it's rations. | ||
| It's equally likely that a lot of these people have supplies in order to get through this journey through Central America up to the United States. | ||
| There's nothing in these videos that really leads me to believe that, first of all, this is an invading army on horseback. | ||
| And second, like I said, there's only like maybe three or four horses in the entire thing. | ||
| And no one's riding them! | ||
| People are standing next to the horses. | ||
| You can't ride them on your way to the fight. | ||
| You've got to fight while riding them so you want to keep them well rested. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| That's just good tactics, Dan. | ||
| I've studied Hannibal. | ||
| There's incredible exaggeration going on here. | ||
| There's incredible unclearness of what the video even is capturing. | ||
| It's very irresponsible, the way Alex is presenting this, because, like I said in that first clip, the only reasonable conclusion to come to that Alex is advocating for is, kill these people. | ||
| They're an invading army on horseback with heavy weapons. | ||
| So this is just white supremacist propaganda that's being put out. | ||
| Now, I mean, sure. | ||
| Who edited the... | ||
| It's the Daily Caller, which is run by Tucker Carlson, or at least was started by Tucker Carlson. | ||
| No, if I understand... | ||
| Sorry, I'm not sure if I caught the whole first part. | ||
| It's just some guy's house. | ||
| Some rancher. | ||
| He has hidden cameras around. | ||
| He's named in the article, but I don't really care who he is. | ||
| So he sends in the raw footage, and they edit it? | ||
| Or do you think he edited it himself? | ||
| Dude's 76 years old. | ||
| Okay, he definitely did not edit it. | ||
| Maybe his son, something like that. | ||
| I would assume that Daily Caller did it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So that's why I was a little bit confused, because I was just imagining this dude who has a bunch of hidden cameras who is editing this footage, and that's just a guy who's... | ||
| Filled with so much hate that he can't even get past the fact that it's not a big deal. | ||
| And his own footage proves it. | ||
| Well, I mean, he has a 50,000 square acre ranch, I believe. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I believe that was the total given. | ||
| Just huge. | ||
| That's massive. | ||
| And so if he has cameras around that place, and what he's capturing over the course of almost three years is maybe 800 people assuming that they aren't the same people at different locations. | ||
| That's not impressive to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's nothing! | |
| That's really weak. | ||
| I'm surprised it's not more! | ||
| And some of them do have guns, yes. | ||
| But again... | ||
| So does the fucking rancher! | ||
| Well, sure. | ||
| But like I'm saying, too, is that you don't have proof that these people are illegal undocumented immigrants coming in. | ||
| All you have is video of people walking around. | ||
| And so if they do have guns, you need to do better to prove... | ||
| What you're saying is the reality before I'm going to get mad about a couple of them having guns. | ||
| I would have actually been like... | ||
| If he had just said, you know what, I think there might be some people hunting on my land, I'd be like, yeah, fuck yeah, you've got a thing there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But illegal immigrants carrying guns through the... | |
| You've got a larger floor to jump there. | ||
| You want to file a complaint about trespassing on your side. | ||
| I'm with you. | ||
| People shouldn't be on your land. | ||
| And then to the other issue, most of them are wearing camouflage, but I don't give a shit about that either. | ||
| People who are coming across... | ||
| You know, trying to get up to America. | ||
| Of course they're going to wear camouflage. | ||
| That doesn't prove they're an army or something like that, like Alex is trying to present. | ||
| It's all just a load of bullshit. | ||
| So, anyway. | ||
| Now, if they were wearing sniper suits and moving very, very slowly, like, if all of this hidden camera footage showed was, like, a whole bunch of hay bales, just slow, like, over the course of two and a half years, they go from one edge of the ranch to the other. | ||
| The longest con. | ||
| Now, that's perfect. | ||
| I'm on your team. | ||
| That's an invading army, is what that is. | ||
| That's footage I can get behind and publicize. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I will help you with that. | ||
| So that's a load of bullshit, and that's his sort of varsity narrative throughout most of the show, which is disgraceful and really ugly. | ||
| But it leads to this next clip where Alex spins a conspiracy about what he thinks is going on with immigration. | ||
| And then at the end of this, he makes a very bold, very bold claim. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the U.N. now stages in Guatemala. | |
| and Nicaragua and El Salvador. | ||
| Three giant migrant centers for all over the world to give... | ||
| Them several thousand dollars apiece, a bag of food and other necessities, clothing, you name it, and then staging zones, and the Mexicans let them go up the railways. | ||
| They say don't go into Mexico. | ||
| And then they hit the U.S. with the Democratic groups waiting to snatch them up. | ||
| To be a client group they control for illegal voting, political activities, and now MS-13's been confirmed to be carrying out assassinations for the Democratic Party. | ||
| That's right, MS-13 is now a murder arm of the Democrats. | ||
| Bacon lovers, we ship free. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A-ha-ha! | |
| A-ha-ha-ha! | ||
| A-ha-ha-ha! | ||
| Completely forgot that I left in that clip of the commercial. | ||
| The commercial is what makes it perfect. | ||
| Jarring juxtaposition. | ||
| MS-13 is now a hired kill group for the Democrats. | ||
| Bacon lovers unite! | ||
| We now ship free. | ||
| First off, UN, I got a guy who can hook you up with some buckets. | ||
| You don't need bags no more. | ||
| Oh, that's true. | ||
| I know that guy, too. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Very reputable. | ||
| We can get some buckets all over this place. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Hell yeah. | ||
| Now, to the point of whether or not people are helping immigrants on their way up through Central America or anything like that, I would say that that's a right Christianly thing to do. | ||
| The idea that without some sort of... | ||
| What Christianity are you talking about, Dan? | ||
| I mean, without some sort of... | ||
| It's the same thing. | ||
| You're not going to stop people from trying to seek refuge in America. | ||
| You're not going to do that. | ||
| No, you're going to stop them. | ||
| It's Venezuela's job to make sure that immigrants don't get into America. | ||
| That's just true. | ||
| But as long as the world operates in the way that it does, you're never going to be able to stop people from trying to save their own lives by. | ||
| getting out of bad situations. | ||
| They're going to try and come to America. | ||
| And if you crack down and you're like, you're evil for giving them water along the way, all you're going to do is make sure that more of them die. | ||
| You aren't going to stop the impetus to come to America. | ||
| You're not going to solve the problem you want to solve. | ||
| You're just going to be cruel to the people who are desperate and fleeing a bad situation. | ||
| That's never happened before. | ||
| Everybody knows that when you ban abortion, good things always happen, right? | ||
| No babies ever get aborted. | ||
| It's a perfect analog. | ||
| You get rid of legal abortion, all you do is kill women. | ||
| That's all you do. | ||
| And just as Jesus said, the way you treat the least of these is fucking dope and keep on doing it, man. | ||
| You remember when Jesus said that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Remember when Jesus said, Bacon lovers. | ||
| Jesus ships bacon for free. | ||
| See, now that was a really... | ||
| That's why he got crucified. | ||
| Right. | ||
| The Jews could not be having somebody shipping free bacon. | ||
| I'm into this conspiracy. | ||
| That is just crazy. | ||
| It's better than Alex's version of this stupid... | ||
| They just want democratic voters. | ||
| But, I mean, that's just... | ||
| White nationalist rhetoric. | ||
| It's de rigueur for them to just be like, all the Democrats want is people to come vote, and they can't vote, but they still vote, and they vote in dead people's names. | ||
| Whites only. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Whites only. | ||
| Because for years, Alex has been... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think that back in the day, maybe I might be a little bit wrong about this, but at my sense from listening to a lot of stuff in 2008-2009, Alex is pretty against racial profiling. | ||
| Because at least on some baseline level, he understands that group culpability is not a way to proceed with life. | ||
| You would hope? | ||
| No, I believe that to be... | ||
| Now, I don't know if he is perfectly consistent in that back then, but I get a strong sense from him that, like, you don't commit a composition fallacy and assume the group is represented by bad examples of individuals. | ||
| Unfortunately, in 2018, he is really into racial profiling. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| They haven't stopped one terror attack with all that TSA crud. | ||
| Problem solved! | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Oh, they profile conservatives. | ||
| Facebook and all these systems discriminate against us. | ||
| You're part of a radical sect of Islam. | ||
| You're connected to these groups. | ||
| It goes to that database and flags your butt. | ||
| You're going to get pulled out and you're going to get questioned. | ||
| You're going to get extra screening. | ||
| That's what you do. | ||
| I don't... | ||
| I think that, first of all, I don't trust Alex's assessment of what constitutes a radical Islamic group, so I think that conversation could get awful murky awful quick. | ||
| I think it's a very simple... | ||
| I think he'd say, all of them, anybody who appears to be at all of Middle Eastern descent. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| Just like if you were to, I don't know, say that everybody who looks like a member of a radical militant white supremacist group should be profiled, problem solved. | ||
| We don't have to deal with radical white... | ||
| Supremacist groups anymore, right? | ||
| Well, you're using his logic to prove that it's stupid. | ||
| Ah, yes I am, Dan. | ||
| And this is stupid. | ||
| This is very disgraceful. | ||
| I mean, I'm going to use that word a lot today, but, like, that's so terrible. | ||
| Even for Alex. | ||
| It's bad. | ||
| It's embarrassing for Alex, too, because, I mean, he's not, but there was a time he was better than that, I think. | ||
| And to hear him advocate for out and out... | ||
| Racial profiling because he's afraid of Muslims is just pathetic. | ||
| For someone who wants to act like he has principles and he's standing up for America and what it stands for and all this, to hear this kind of drivel come out of his mouth is just like, just go home, man. | ||
| You're done. | ||
| Go to bed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go to bed. | |
| Yeah, you're out of the game, man. | ||
| You're like an old dude yelling about music today. | ||
| That's what you're doing. | ||
| You have outlived your usefulness even to your world. | ||
| And that's bad. | ||
| Yeah, that's rough. | ||
| That's bad, because people, these old assholes like Jerome Corsi are still useful. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| It's nuts. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| For Mueller. | ||
| Yeah, certainly useful for that. | ||
| Anyway, look. | ||
| I suppose he does have one point. | ||
| Careful. | ||
| Which is that the easy way to keep immigrants from escaping their terrible situations to come to America... | ||
| It's to turn America into a shithole they don't want to come to. | ||
| And it seems like they're doing a pretty great job of that right now. | ||
| Sure, or just say none of them. | ||
| Just make it illegal to be different. | ||
| Yeah, that does seem like it. | ||
| Different in heavy quotes. | ||
| That seems like that's their goal. | ||
| Nobody hates America more than people who call themselves patriots. | ||
| So I might be a little bit wrong in terms of... | ||
| Giving Alex this sort of pass or credibility for his past self of being against racial profiling. | ||
| But this next clip is absolutely anathema to what he would have ever believed in mere years ago. | ||
| In fact, I'll say it. | ||
| Apprehensions of illegals are up 240%. | ||
| According to ICE, it isn't enough. | ||
| Trump is in dereliction of duty. | ||
| Two years in, he's not enough. | ||
| I want, and it's in the Constitution, Full military. | ||
| I want the Army. | ||
| I want the Marine Corps. | ||
| I want 200,000 troops on that border. | ||
| I want it shut down. | ||
| One million percent. | ||
| So, in the past, Alex has called for the National Guard being used to police the border. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And everyone called him a hypocrite. | ||
| And I said, no, he's not. | ||
| Because that is something that can be done under the direction of the governor of the state. | ||
| So if the governor of Texas wanted to call in the National Guard to do that, it would not be against Alex's principles. | ||
| Him saying that the federal fucking government should do it... | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| Because then, federalized troops would be operating within the state. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| And maybe the governor wouldn't be okay with it. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| That is directly against everything that we've heard him talk about when we're looking at 2009. | ||
| All of these Tenth Amendment resolutions and shit like that. | ||
| All of them. | ||
| This is completely counter to it. | ||
| He doesn't even bring up the idea of a governor's support or anything like that. | ||
| This is him advocating for... | ||
| Federalization. | ||
| It's him arguing for tyranny. | ||
| Don't you remember how much he loved Jade Helm? | ||
| Loved it. | ||
| Don't you remember how many times the federal government has mobilized troops to do something very innocuous? | ||
| Some exercise. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Some training bullshit. | ||
| He loved it. | ||
| He loved it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is... | |
| Bring federal troops into my state, says Alex Jones. | ||
| Now, I don't know all the governorships along the Mexican border, but we just need to imagine a scenario wherein one of them is... | ||
| He has lost his way entirely. | ||
| This is where people should be calling him a hypocrite. | ||
| Like, before, there were articles in... | ||
| All the publications. | ||
| Right Wing Watch was putting out stuff about how Alex is calling for the National Guard to come in to stop that train of immigrants that were coming up, even though that train of immigrants is something that happens every year. | ||
| It's a symbolic sort of protest thing. | ||
| It's not even like some sort of threatening group of immigrants coming up from Central America. | ||
| But they wrote about how Alex was saying bring in the National Guard when if they understood what Alex stood for, they would know this isn't the problem for him. | ||
| This fucking is! | ||
| It bothers me. | ||
| No one's going to talk about it. | ||
| Well, the only other way that it could make sense for his principles is if he wants the federal army on the other side of the border, which would be declaring war on Mexico. | ||
| I think his anti-interventionist stuff would be against that, too. | ||
| Oh, that's a good point. | ||
| Like his Ron Paul boner would be... | ||
| Well... | ||
| Would be quelled by that idea. | ||
| Yeah, you could say that. | ||
| You don't want to get in foreign entanglements. | ||
| That would be so costly. | ||
| It is fine, though, if you are on horseback. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| Or if anyone is near a horse in a video that's on the Daily Caller, and then it fucking is very reasonable to go to war. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| So, we know from looking back at 2008, 2009, that Alex Jones did not know who George Soros was. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-uh. | |
| His globalists that he would talk about were the Rockefellers, the Ford Foundation. | ||
| Those were the people who were... | ||
| Rothschilds! | ||
| Absolutely, they were in play back then. | ||
| Those were the people that were his big enemies, and most recently, on the episodes that we've done, we've seen George Soros be brought up, but Alex is almost confused by it. | ||
| He's not someone who's in play. | ||
| So that makes me think that this next clip is bullshit. | ||
| You let one of these third world countries collapse into you, you go bankrupt. | ||
| Oh, I forgot. | ||
| Did you? | ||
| What's George Soros want? | ||
| Dogs. | ||
| Before he spent tens of billions of dollars buying up the media in the U.S. and buying PR for himself. | ||
| When I was a young man, when I was a kid and when I was in high school, my mom always had PBS on cooking dinner. | ||
| Whenever I came home at football or whatever, she was always there at 5, 6 o 'clock for like an hour and a half cooking a huge, you know, six-dish meal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Gourmet food. | ||
| What? | ||
| So I showed up for dinner a lot of times, bringing my girlfriend over. | ||
| And it was always on PBS and ABC and everywhere that George Soros is a criminal. | ||
| He overthrows countries. | ||
| All he wants to do is collapse things, and he's an insider trader. | ||
| Not anymore. | ||
| He's the sweet little Nazi collaborator. | ||
| We all must kiss his little wart-covered booty. | ||
| I don't believe anything about that. | ||
| First of all, Alex had no idea who Soros was or his importance in the world. | ||
| Until at least sometime in 2009. | ||
| And I don't believe that PBS spent all of their time in the 80s talking about how Soros was evil. | ||
| It was a big deal in the 80s! | ||
| PBS, bro. | ||
| You don't remember when PBS went on that Soros Jag? | ||
| I remember when he was subject of investigation on 3-2-1 Contact. | ||
| Oh, PBS! | ||
| Where did you lose your way? | ||
| You were once the vanguard in the fight against Soros. | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| I don't believe this for a fucking hot second. | ||
| That fight against Soros was supported by viewers like you. | ||
| And the letter L. I should have chose a different letter. | ||
| Anyway, in this next clip, Alex is going on a bit of a rant about China and how they're evil and they like to kill gays. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's way different from Republicans. | |
| I only keep this clip in because I think Alex is relishing talking about this a little too much, and it's going to lead to him having a little bit of a breakdown later, so it's good for context. | ||
| There was one photo of two lesbians, two 16-year-old girls, that got caught in their dorm area having sex. | ||
| And they took them out and they blew their brains all over the walls. | ||
| Want to see those photos? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Type in. | |
| But Tim Cook's gay, so it's okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's so liberal to blow women's brains all over the wall. | |
| If you're liberal and you're gay, then it's good. | ||
| And the homophobe Alex Jones hates gay people because he doesn't blow their brains all over the wall. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he's not a Nazi collaborator like George Soros. | |
| Think how sick that is. | ||
| Think how evil that is. | ||
| So, I mean, look, all I want to say about that is that voice is disgusting. | ||
| And what he's expressing is disgusting because, as we've covered, ad nauseum, he's very much a homophobe. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Whether or not he thinks that, I'm cool. | ||
| I'm cool with that. | ||
| I'm a libertarian. | ||
| Hey! | ||
| He's viscerally angry. | ||
| Whatever you do in your own home is fine with me. | ||
| He's viscerally angry at the LGBT community and likens them to pedophiles. | ||
| All the time. | ||
| Well, yeah, but that's because they don't like him. | ||
| And there's no reason that they wouldn't like him other than if they were what he purports them to be. | ||
| Definitely not that he purports them to be such. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So when he's talking about that, like, shooting their brains on the wall, it's just you're getting too into it. | ||
| That's gross. | ||
| And it leads to this. | ||
| I just don't know how I get called homophobic and all this made-up crap. | ||
| When I say you should not have people sexualizing kids, period, and they have the LGBT group saying I'm a homophobe, when it's Apple working with China that literally murders gay people. | ||
| And I'm not saying that because our next guest is gay. | ||
| What about Russia? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They murder gay people! | |
| It drives me crazy! | ||
| Sorry, we'll go to our guest here in a moment. | ||
| I'm getting mad. | ||
| Yeah, you should be. | ||
| Because you're caught. | ||
| You're caught in a little web of your own lack of ability to wiggle around this stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You're screaming, what about Russia? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Fucking talk about that then, Alex, you dumb twat. | ||
| Yeah, if you hate it whenever governments and peoples find it acceptable to kill gay people, boy, you got a lot of options there, dude! | ||
| Or like you even sort of referenced earlier, the... | ||
| You know, if the right wing really does become ascendant and, you know, that sort of religious conservative wing comes in... | ||
| They want it to happen! | ||
| Absolutely! | ||
| Absolutely! | ||
| And the policies that they would try and put forth in terms of making LGBT youth feel more weird, conversion therapy becoming more recommended and that sort of thing, all it's going to do is lead to those people killing themselves and youth. | ||
| I mean, that's the end result. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Drastically homophobic. | ||
| No, the right wing in this country has accepted that it's not okay to just murder gay people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But, like with abortion, they will do everything possible to make sure they die. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, it's, hey, hey, we're not killing gay people. | ||
| We're just creating all of the circumstances necessary for gay people to die. | ||
| It's not like we're doing it. | ||
| We believe in self-determination. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But we want you to determine to fucking kill yourself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| Because we determine that you should. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Fucking horrific. | ||
| Deal with that, Alex. | ||
| But, look, so his next guest is gay. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| Great. | ||
| So, he has Skype problems, and they're not able to get a hold of him, and so Alex is trying to vamp. | ||
| That's a metaphor. | ||
| This is so funny. | ||
| Let me tell you something that's very important while we're getting our guest on, and it's this. | ||
| Just like our information here on air is world-changing. | ||
| Words, words, words, words, words. | ||
| Words, words, words. | ||
| I'm saying words. | ||
| Just like our information. | ||
| Is powerful. | ||
| Stretch. | ||
| Stretch it out. | ||
| Stretch it. | ||
| We're having technical issues. | ||
| Stretch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Our products are the same. | |
| Good work! | ||
| You know, I don't just sit here and tell you that... | ||
| Keep going. | ||
| We've still got issues. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Keep it rolling. | ||
| me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A lot of stuff going on here behind the scenes. | |
| Whew! | ||
| Now. | ||
| Ha ha ha. | ||
| Just like our information is game-changing. | ||
| Start over. | ||
| Stretch it a little bit longer. | ||
| Our products are game-changing. | ||
| If you don't have oxygen, you die. | ||
| I know they'll say that's a conspiracy theory. | ||
| If you don't have water, you die in a week, generally. | ||
| Water is three days. | ||
| If you don't have iodine, you die. | ||
| You finally got there. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| He's clearly having someone talk in his ear about, like, we can't get this guy on the show. | ||
| If there's an issue, come on, Stretch. | ||
| You gotta... | ||
| And we are... | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Products. | ||
| Our products are... | ||
| What's that? | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| I'm hearing something about... | ||
| They're good! | ||
| They're good. | ||
| Also, it's, you know, fun. | ||
| Not fun. | ||
| For him to talk about, like, you need oxygen to live, you need water to live, considering his boy Trump just said that only 6 to 18 people died in Maria, in Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, when in reality a lot of people died because they ran out of oxygen, because there was no electricity, and a lot of people died because they didn't have water. | ||
| I don't understand how just denying the death toll... | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's weird. | |
| It's not enough to get you removed from office. | ||
| You should go to The Hague. | ||
| Shouldn't that be? | ||
| That should be the biggest story. | ||
| A president denies Earth. | ||
| You should be removed then. | ||
| That's the 25th Amendment. | ||
| Look, that's all you need. | ||
| The 25th Amendment. | ||
| The president doesn't believe in reality. | ||
| We have to let him go. | ||
| We've got to let you go, man. | ||
| Trump, you're cool. | ||
| You gotta go. | ||
| You gotta go! | ||
| It would be like TJ Lavin on that season of the Real World Road Rules Challenge. | ||
| Sure, it'd be like that. | ||
| When CT punched Davis and passed out drunk. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And TJ Lavin had to come in and wake up CT. | ||
| He's like, hey CT, sorry man, but you gotta go. | ||
| You gotta go. | ||
| You gotta go. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| The Real World Road Rules Challenge is my Pokemon. | ||
| He's drunkenly in a stupor in his bed. | ||
| He's like, what do I do? | ||
| He's like, you punched Davis, man. | ||
| You gotta go. | ||
| And he's like, who? | ||
| Who's that? | ||
| That gay kid? | ||
| It's like, oh, see, dude? | ||
| You gotta go. | ||
| Anyway, that's what Trump is like. | ||
| You gotta go. | ||
| You gotta go. | ||
| You just gotta go. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How is he not gone? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| It seems like there should be something going on. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| Power. | ||
| People want power. | ||
| God! | ||
| God! | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| It's nuts. | ||
| Anyway, they finally get their tech difficulties worked out after Alex Vamps for what seems like a political season. | ||
| It seems like an entire four years coast to coast that he's doing there. | ||
| But he finally gets him on the phone. | ||
| And I don't want to listen to this guy too much. | ||
| I don't even remember what his name is. | ||
| But he's the guy who started that hashtag walkaway trend on Twitter. | ||
| The idea of it is that like... | ||
| He's a Democrat, and he's trying to get people to walk away from the Democratic Party because they don't represent him anymore. | ||
| I mean, depending on his reasons, I'm willing to entertain that notion. | ||
| Not to say he has any nefarious intent or anything like that, but if you want to look into it, there's a great Salon article about how they did some research into the accounts that were promoting that hashtag after it was put out, and there is a very... | ||
| Very high incidence of Russian bots that were promoting that walk-away campaign. | ||
| It's so strange how that tends to happen. | ||
| Yeah, it's probably a coincidence. | ||
| It's almost like somebody pays them to do it. | ||
| Nuts. | ||
| Almost like they're not even a government arm and more like a for-hire service that if you have billions of dollars and want to spread an idea, you can just hire them and they'll give it a visibility. | ||
| Yep, seems that way. | ||
| But anyway, he put on Facebook. | ||
| That he was going to go on Alex Jones' show. | ||
| It was something to the effect of Patriots. | ||
| I'm going on InfoWars. | ||
| Alright, well then now I'm not... | ||
| If you say Patriots, I'm kind of out. | ||
| So after that, his Facebook got locked. | ||
| Good call. | ||
| He was understandably mad about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And so he, you know, sent an email or whatever to the powers that be at Facebook. | ||
| And they looked at him like, oh, this was a mistake. | ||
| Here is your account back. | ||
| He got it unlocked. | ||
| This all happened before Thursday. | ||
| This is the Thursday, I didn't even mention this. | ||
| This is the Thursday, September 13th episode. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| By the morning of Thursday, he's had his account back open for... | ||
| Since the night before. | ||
| It was Tuesday night, or Wednesday night, whenever he got all of his access back. | ||
| Oh, so it was really quickly resolved. | ||
| Yeah, because it was... | ||
| That's actually a pretty solid customer service. | ||
| That's way better than Comcast? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So he, unfortunately, is still going around everywhere and showing up on Alex's show on Thursday trying to pitch the idea that he just said InfoWars and he got banned for 30 days. | ||
| When in reality, by this point, he has his account back. | ||
| They apologized for the mistake that they made, and everything should be fine. | ||
| But, because Alex wants to try and pitch the idea that if you say Infowars, you're banned from everything, he's having him on and letting him spout his bullshit, which is really about him trying to raise money for a walk-away march that he's trying to run. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If anybody would like to contribute, they can go to walkwaymarch.com and please click fundraising. | |
| It'll take you to our GoFundMe. | ||
| Of course, we're always looking for any kind of sponsors or donations from people at a larger level if they're able to. | ||
| But I'm telling you, I was devastated yesterday, Alex. | ||
| I mean, I was ready to shut the march down entirely because I thought... | ||
| How are we going to pull this off if I can't communicate with my people? | ||
| Like I said, my team and I have kind of worked on a workaround. | ||
| We think it's going to be okay. | ||
| But that's what they're trying to do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're trying to get people like me who are trying to have a voice and make a difference to cower and say, you know what? | |
| They're bigger than me. | ||
| They're stronger than me. | ||
| I might as well quit. | ||
| I might as well give up because how can I fight against them? | ||
| I think you should. | ||
| You can fight against them by writing an email and getting your fucking account back, you dick. | ||
| It's not hard. | ||
| This is such bullshit. | ||
| They're trying to present this image of like, oh, because I'm so enterprising, it's like David versus Goliath. | ||
| I found a workaround to get my account and be able to access and talk to people when it's like, no, Facebook recognized that they made a mistake. | ||
| Whatever it was, whether it's some capricious employee who put his account on a suspension, or if it was some sort of automated thing that it got caught somehow, they said, oh, sorry, fucked up here. | ||
| Here's your account. | ||
| Sorry, we unlocked it. | ||
| Our bad. | ||
| Not hard to do. | ||
| And he's trying to present it as like, were these fucking oppressed people? | ||
| They're like, no, you're not. | ||
| Stop it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stop it. | |
| I do like any time somebody uses workaround. | ||
| You're going to need to give me specifics on your quote-unquote workaround, because it makes it seem like, oh, we outsmarted them. | ||
| That's not what a workaround is. | ||
| Yeah, he's acting like he is a hacker. | ||
| Yeah, we broke into their code, and we coded stuff. | ||
| Like in the movie Swordfish. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Facebook said mea culpa, and acted appropriately. | ||
| So, I don't care about the rest of the shit he's talking about, because it's nonsense, and quite frankly... | ||
| We got a bit to get through of the best stuff ever. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But before we get there, Alex has a little prediction about what's going to happen to President Donald John Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, I hope he gets killed. | |
| Let's hear a little bit from George Strait right now when we watch this video. | ||
| Now you'll buy that. | ||
| I got some oceanfront property. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got some oceanfront property. | |
| You know, I got a signal from high-level folks. | ||
| You are going to have oceanfront property in Arizona shortly. | ||
| They know what's going on, and not from Steve Pachanek. | ||
| It was from people at Fort Bragg, and they said... | ||
| Sounds like it's from Steve Pachanek. | ||
| They said, Alex, we believe March is when they're going to try to kill the president. | ||
| March! | ||
| And they said, we're ready, and just, you need to be ready. | ||
| And I said, should I relay that info? | ||
| And they said, well, the enemy may change their operations. | ||
| But it's definitely being directed from China, and they plan to kill Trump in March. | ||
| I thought I would just let people know that Fort Bragg's preparing for that. | ||
| They think something's in March of next year. | ||
| But who knows? | ||
| The enemy could change their plan. | ||
| I don't know when it's going to happen. | ||
| Thousands of armed men on horseback with giant drug packages coming across one ranch. | ||
| All confirmed. | ||
| InfoWars.com, Daily Caller. | ||
| Whoopty shit. | ||
| All confirmed. | ||
| All confirmed. | ||
| Also, do you see in there how he plays his games? | ||
| He's like saying that Fort... | ||
| It's not Steve Pachanek telling me this, which leads me to believe that first of all... | ||
| It's totally Steve Pachanek telling me. | ||
| Either that or he recognizes that Steve Pachanek has been burned and been wrong way too many times on his show. | ||
| He knows that everyone's going to assume that Steve Pachanek's saying that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like, no, no, no, it wasn't him, it wasn't him. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So then he comes in with this. | ||
| They think it's going to be in March. | ||
| They're going to kill Trump. | ||
| But everything can change. | ||
| They can change their plans. | ||
| All we know is that China's behind it, but when it doesn't happen, just know that I said things can change. | ||
| The globalists change their plans all the time. | ||
| So I'm saying this, but it doesn't really fucking mean anything. | ||
| Now, the other thing is, I think he is trying to evoke the Ides of March. | ||
| I think he is. | ||
| I think that makes sense. | ||
| Because in the past, he has referred to Trump as our Caesar. | ||
| He has used Caesar as an analog for Trump. | ||
| That's a really bad thing, you know? | ||
| And it's even worse than you think. | ||
| Because Alex's big book that he basically... | ||
| Do you mean because he just said that the government should bring their fucking military across our goddamn nation and he described him as Caesar? | ||
| Do you think there might be some sort of, I don't know, reference there? | ||
| Yeah, but I don't care about that. | ||
| For me, what it goes to is that in None Dare Call It Conspiracy, the book that Alex Jones has based most of his career on, Caesar is used as an example. | ||
| Of what happens when a psychopath is born super rich. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Huh. | |
| In the book, Gary Allen is describing the idea of like, hey, there are these people who go out and murder, you know, because they're born crazy. | ||
| There's just these vicious psychopaths out there. | ||
| Serial killers exist. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| But they are only able to kill like one or two, three, four, five people because they were born into humble circumstances. | ||
| But what happens when a psychopath is born into the lap of luxury and power? | ||
| That's what happens with Caesar. | ||
| I can't imagine. | ||
| Caesar is used as an example of that. | ||
| So when Alex compares Caesar to Trump... | ||
| Well, it's a good thing. | ||
| He's indicating that either he hasn't read the book that he's basing his life on or he's completely lost track of anything. | ||
| It's a good thing that this is purely hypothetical. | ||
| It's a good thing that we have no real-world concrete examples of psychopaths being born into wealth. | ||
| That's a laughable situation, Dan. | ||
| Right. | ||
| How dare you even bring it up to me? | ||
| It is so beyond the realm of understanding. | ||
| I understand. | ||
| But Gary Allen's assessment is a little bit... | ||
| Baseline. | ||
| Real surface. | ||
| But at the same time, you know, yeah, sure. | ||
| Psychopaths are born into rich places. | ||
| Oftentimes, though, what you end up with is... | ||
| Well, no, they do the similar shit. | ||
| The poor psychopaths do. | ||
| But a lot of times they can sublimate it into, like... | ||
| You know, getting their jollies off of crushing competition and stuff like that, as opposed to actually murdering people. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Which is something that isn't accessible to people who don't have power or riches. | ||
| Or they can do both if you're William Randolph Hearst. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And there are other examples, too. | ||
| But be that as it may, Alex is fucking stupid. | ||
| That is crazy nonsense. | ||
| Trump isn't going to be killed in March, but Alex already knows that, and he's laid track for it. | ||
| Plans can change. | ||
| Now, March is also a good time to say now, because then you've got a long wait. | ||
| And people will forget that you even said it. | ||
| And anybody who did bring it up, then you've got the hedge. | ||
| You've got at least three months of pretending it's going to happen. | ||
| And then four months of time to get it out of people's memory. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And in that time, you can raise a bunch of money with the panic of what's coming. | ||
| The summer of rage. | ||
| The summer of rage. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's all bullshit. | ||
| The winter of our malcontent. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Alex now wants to talk about the immigrants that are in Europe, as opposed to the immigrants that he hates here. | ||
| I don't think what he's saying here is true. | ||
| And that's it. | ||
| That's why 80-plus percent of the Islamic, Middle Eastern, North African invaders who were brought in the last five years to Europe, now it's 12 million of them, 80-plus percent never get a job. | ||
| And you know who they deport? | ||
| Anyone that converts to Christianity. | ||
| This is in the news. | ||
| What one that gets a job? | ||
| So you're out of North Africa or the Middle East, you go, I want to be a Christian and I want a job and I like this. | ||
| I don't like that. | ||
| Your ass is shipped out. | ||
| I don't like that voice at all. | ||
| You're like, you want to walk around in your nightgown all day and wipe your ass with your hand and do all the rest of it? | ||
| You are staying. | ||
| You are golden, baby. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| This is the most... | ||
| This is non-stop racism. | ||
| I've heard from our show. | ||
| We've covered a lot of non-stop racism, but man, this is like... | ||
| Heavy-hitting, like, haymakers left and right of racism. | ||
| And just the wide spectrum. | ||
| Oh, yeah! | ||
| He's going after Mexicans. | ||
| Oh, Mexicans, get out of there! | ||
| North Africans, get out of there! | ||
| Oh, yeah! | ||
| And the LGBT community. | ||
| He's going after everybody. | ||
| Oh, yeah! | ||
| So, on some level, I do think that our prediction of, like, he's going to have no reason to hold back anymore, it seems like it's fairly accurate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He can just call immigrants invaders. | ||
| I mean, he does that anyway. | ||
| That's not new. | ||
| But he seems to be relishing it a lot more. | ||
| He does seem to enjoy his newfound lack of consequences. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But look, he has a theory here in this next clip about what happens if you are against Infowars. | ||
| And as someone who's against Infowars and has been putting out two to three long podcasts about that... | ||
| Very thing every week for two years. | ||
| I will say that what he's about to say happens when you are against Infowars, not true. | ||
| Are you sure? | ||
| Not true. | ||
| Well, I will withhold judgment because I am also against it, but I don't know what he's about to say. | ||
| So maybe he's right. | ||
| Sorry, two false starts there. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| If you lie about Infowars or Trump or anybody else, they push your video. | ||
| The big thing about QAnon... | ||
|
unidentified
|
*laughter* | |
| I mean, Alex would suggest that we're lying about him, and no one is pushing our shit. | ||
| No one's pushing our shit, man. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, sir. | ||
| Now, so that's funny, but what he says next is even funnier. | ||
| The big thing about QAnon to know is they never get demonetized. | ||
| They just got banned from Reddit. | ||
| Oh, it gets infinitely pushed to front because it's literal delusional garbage. | ||
| I mean, I talk to folks. | ||
| Trump hates Sessions. | ||
| He hates Mueller. | ||
| You know, it's a real death battle. | ||
| It's not, oh, Mueller's good and Alex is bad and he'll sue me again. | ||
| No, Alex is actually the bad guy. | ||
| Hugh said, we all go down the rabbit hole, we all go together. | ||
| This cult talk, I'll get to that later, but this whole situation... | ||
| Alex says... | ||
| All the time, we hang together or we hang separate. | ||
| How is that in any way different than what he's saying QAnon is saying that's cult shit? | ||
| Now, beyond that, this is so fucking funny to me. | ||
| Because he's been vaguely anti-QAnon for the entire time it's been going on, but only because he wants Zack to be more important. | ||
| He wants his version of QAnon to be the one that goes viral, and it fucking didn't. | ||
| So he's been petty and jealous about that. | ||
| But, at the same time... | ||
| Jerome Corsi has been on his payroll, and Jerome Corsi was writing a goddamn book about decoding the truths of QAnon. | ||
| Goddammit. | ||
| So this whole time he's been paying Jerome Corsi to write... | ||
| Also, I'm not going to lie to you. | ||
| What? | ||
| Very simple explanation, Alex. | ||
| Here's why QAnon is more popular. | ||
| It's a non, and your dude is named Zach. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| QAnon? | ||
| Fun to say! | ||
| Very. | ||
| Exciting! | ||
| You don't know who that guy is! | ||
| Zach? | ||
| He was on Saved by the Bell, man! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Nobody's gonna fourth wall break this bullshit. | ||
| And also, I think that one of the things that appealed to people about QAnon is the idea that you have to put the pieces together yourself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| There is an element of, like... | ||
| It's a nice little mystery. | ||
| I think you said it on a recent episode, like, make me feel like I'm smart for figuring this out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And I think that QAnon appealed to people's desire to pretend they're detectives and, like, figure out, oh, what does this cryptic nonsense mean? | ||
| And Alex doesn't provide them with that because he's just like... | ||
| I'm talking about China trying to kill Trump, and these immigrants that are coming in with their battle system, and they're on horseback, and they have guns. | ||
| Too specific! | ||
| Too specific! | ||
| Back off! | ||
| Back off! | ||
| And our products... | ||
| Are... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Game-changing. | |
| So, it's like, you don't have any subtext. | ||
| There's nothing, there's no mystery to figure out here. | ||
| And that's why whenever we go back and listen to episodes to try and trace his path on stuff, it's not that hard. | ||
| It takes a long time because you have to listen to the episodes and you have to digest what he's saying. | ||
| But in terms of solving a mystery, he just tells you everything. | ||
| Yeah, pretty much. | ||
| Which is comforting for the people who listen to him, I assume. | ||
| Maybe, but I don't think they're paying attention. | ||
| The only thing that you really have to do is be able to suss out when he's telling the truth and when he's lying and bragging and stuff like that. | ||
| Which I think if you listen to it enough, you can kind of get the tone in his voice. | ||
| There's tricks about that. | ||
| Yeah, at this point, I feel like even without any of your research, I would be able to just by ear be like, that part's bullshit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| No, you know, it sounds like it might be plausible, but guess what? | ||
| I heard the lilt? | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| That's a lie. | ||
| Yeah, that's the plot of an early H.G. Wells book. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, exactly. | |
| Alex, that is not true. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Listen up, Morlock! | ||
| Fuck off! | ||
| So I'm going to skip this next clip because it's not really all that important. | ||
| It's just Alex saying that he thinks that the Border Patrol is nice now. | ||
| Oh, they're nice! | ||
| Are they too nice now? | ||
| I don't think he said too nice, but he's saying, they're like, they're cool. | ||
| Oh, are they? | ||
| Not sure about that. | ||
| Are there more children in detention now than there were just a few short weeks ago whenever the government, whenever the justice system said that this shouldn't fucking be happening, period? | ||
| He denies that that's the case. | ||
| That doesn't, that's not real! | ||
| The children who are being held, it's good that they are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| And then also the ACLU is somehow to blame. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I don't want to get into it. | ||
| The ACLU set up the system. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Which is not what the ACLU does. | ||
| But I don't really give a shit. | ||
| I mean, I give a shit about the people who are being, you know, mistreated and stuff like that. | ||
| But I don't really care about Alex's version of it because it's not really that much of the episode. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| It's just sort of in passing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And it's so much more important that at this point Owen Schroer joins the proceedings. | ||
| Why is Owen Schroer there? | ||
| Because Alex is having some fucking issues about his masculinity and he needs to sit down with Owen Schroer and get to the bottom. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Jordan, this is a mic down clip. | ||
| The rest of the episode is mic down for me, huh? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| This is only going to cover a little bit, and then we will have the coup de grace at the end. | ||
| But this clip, this made me laugh so fucking hard when I was listening to this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's nothing like some good old country on the open road, huh? | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| You know, you ever see these guys that strut around, trying to act big and tough, and you look at them and it seems annoying, like they're trying to act like an alpha male? | ||
| But, you know, maybe I was the person that was cowed. | ||
| Because it's up to us that our alpha males actually care about society to not let the weird little twisted beta males who crave power dominate us. | ||
| And they know that we have a conscience, so they manipulate us. | ||
| So here's an example. | ||
| I've got, and I'm not bragging about it, it's actually freakish. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, you are! | |
| My neck is freakishly large, 20 inches, and it's not fat. | ||
| And my chest is freakishly large. | ||
| I mean, my chest is almost as big as Arnold Schwarzenegger's. | ||
| Hell yeah. | ||
| Okay, and then I've got a big belly, too. | ||
| But the whole point is, is that ever since high school... | ||
| Like, big, tough guys would say, oh, you're a punk. | ||
| You want to fight? | ||
| Well, you're walking around with your chest stuck out. | ||
| I was like, no, I'm just standing up straight. | ||
| My dad would say, stand up straight. | ||
| If I stand up straight, it looks ridiculous. | ||
| And so the point is, is that my... | ||
| So since I was a teenager, I kind of, like, act like I'm a little wizard. | ||
| And when I walk around, I kind of just do like this so people don't recognize me or mess with me. | ||
| Also, I cast spells. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| Now that people attack me for the first time in my life, it's not an arrogance, it's a pride. | ||
| Now, I went walking into a grocery store this morning. | ||
| I actually walked like a man's supposed to walk. | ||
| And everybody was looking at me. | ||
| And they were like, damn, that guy looks like a badass. | ||
| And the whole point was, all of that now is the fact they're attacking me and I'm more proud than I've ever been. | ||
| And I don't say, like, I was ashamed of myself before. | ||
| I wasn't trying to stand out before because I was already confident. | ||
| But now that they want to come boo at me at tables and boo at me on the street and take that down and, like, you know, just be like 18, try to make me ashamed of myself, now because they're doing that... | ||
| Now I'm going to actually hold my head on. | ||
| So now, I walked into a hotel the other night to this interview, and I walked right in there, and I walked with my head up, chest out, everything else. | ||
| Every woman basically came running. | ||
| And again, it's not bragging about, oh, I'm this tough guy, I'm handsome. | ||
| It's not that. | ||
| It's confidence. | ||
| It's that America has the will, has the spirit, has the destiny, has the future. | ||
| But those of us that are strong, we are reserved because we're almost embarrassed by our power. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| By the way. | ||
| Hey, Dan, hold on one second. | ||
| That whole time Owen Schroer is sitting there silently like daddy. | ||
| Could you please play the first, I don't know, 30 seconds of that clip one more time? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Nothing like some good old country on the open road. | ||
| That's all you need right now. | ||
| You ever see these guys that strut around? | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Keep going. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| See these guys that strut around. | ||
| You look at them and it seems annoying. | ||
| It seems annoying. | ||
| Trying to act like an alpha male. | ||
| Trying to act like an alpha male. | ||
| Maybe I was the person that was cowed. | ||
| Okay, now you can stop right there. | ||
| You ever see these guys, Dan? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Who walk around. | ||
| Chest out. | ||
| Annoying. | ||
| Chest out. | ||
| Looking annoying. | ||
| Trying to act like an alpha male. | ||
| Trying to flex. | ||
| Have you ever heard the second fucking half of that clip where he describes exactly that goddamn behavior? | ||
| I got a big old neck. | ||
| I walk into the store with my posture. | ||
| With my chest out! | ||
| And ladies come a-running. | ||
| Yes! | ||
|
unidentified
|
You! | |
| You! | ||
| I'd like to remind you that, like, there's one of the... | ||
| That's the most projecty projection I've ever heard projected! | ||
| Earlier in the episode, Alex said that there's an invading army coming from Mexico, and, by the way, the eastern seaboard is about to be hit by a giant hurricane that he never mentions once in his entire episode, but he does have to spend time talking about how big his chest is to Owen. | ||
| He has to impress Owen! | ||
| Because Owen represents youth. | ||
| It's what he's lost. | ||
| Owen represents... | ||
| God! | ||
| What if he drinks Owen's blood? | ||
| He might. | ||
| What if he spends $18,000? | ||
| Why would he know the exact price of a quart of a child's blood if he did not buy children's blood, Dan? | ||
| Seems like he might have an end to the market. | ||
| I think he knows. | ||
| But, you know, Owen really... | ||
| I think I touched on something there. | ||
| He represents that thing that Alex cannot get back. | ||
| And I think the two of them have this weird paternal child relationship going on. | ||
| Owen really wants to impress Alex, and Alex really wants to impress Owen. | ||
| It's not an employee-employer relationship they've got going on. | ||
| It's a weird dudes-or-gross relationship. | ||
| Well, there's a point, I don't have the clip of it, but there's a point where Owen is like, Alex, Alex, Alex, you are a badass. | ||
| Calm down. | ||
| Calm down. | ||
| Stop. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He has to, like, reassure him that he's a badass. | |
| There's nothing less badass than somebody being like, hey, no, you are a badass. | ||
| You're such a badass. | ||
| Who's the big boy? | ||
| Who's a badass? | ||
| That's you. | ||
| That's who you are. | ||
| So, ostensibly, the reason that Owen's supposed to be on is because that video that was in the Daily Caller came out, and Owen went to a, I guess, liberal meeting of some sort? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Sure. | ||
| And he asked the speaker about it, about the, like, What about all these armed men coming across the border? | ||
| And also, what about abortion? | ||
| And the speaker is like, ooh, looks like InfoWars is here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they're like, anybody else got a question? | |
| What's really funny is that after that, Owen is like, I've got a stack of news here. | ||
| He's literally using... | ||
| He said he has a stack of news there? | ||
| In the video they play from him going to this meeting. | ||
| Oh, I've never been prouder. | ||
| At the meeting, he has a stack of news. | ||
| I've never been prouder. | ||
| You could almost see a gleam in Alex's eye. | ||
| Oh, of course. | ||
| So proud of his little girl. | ||
| Oh, of course. | ||
| Using his own expressions when he goes and invades people. | ||
| Also, the other thing that I thought was really fucked up... | ||
| I don't have a clip of this, because again, we've got a lot to get through. | ||
| Owen says, if you kick us off Facebook... | ||
| We'll come into 3D reality where God is in charge, which leads me to believe that he thinks God isn't in charge on Facebook. | ||
| What? | ||
| Somehow Facebook has usurped God. | ||
| What is what? | ||
| Which is troubling. | ||
| Man, now I really want to find out more about Owen Troyer's very clear daddy issues. | ||
| I would say that there's something going on. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| But let's not drift on the wrong side of the Goldwater rule. | ||
| We don't know him. | ||
| I do know that he hero-worships Alex in a very unhealthy way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And Alex loves it. | ||
| Man, it's going to be... | ||
| It's going to be... | ||
| Owen Troyer is cruising for, like, the worst decade of his life in, like, two years. | ||
| He's going to have a fucking... | ||
| At least five-year Info Wars hangover. | ||
| Yeah, he's going to do the Brad Pitt and... | ||
| Fuck, now I can't remember the name of the movie. | ||
| It's Fight Club. | ||
| No, it's not Fight Club. | ||
| You're not supposed to talk about it. | ||
| It's the one where he goes on the ship. | ||
| Seven Years in Tibet. | ||
| No, it was the other one. | ||
| He's on a ship. | ||
| He was smoking opium, and he grew his hair real long. | ||
| His wife was Native American for a while. | ||
| It was Fight Club. | ||
| Okay, you're right. | ||
| That was Fight Club. | ||
| So we have another clip here from Owen and Alex just having a bull session. | ||
| This is like, they both... | ||
| Really need to talk to somebody about their bodies. | ||
| And unfortunately, they're doing it on air to each other. | ||
| This is weird. | ||
| But it really is something that you should probably talk to a therapist about. | ||
| I think there's some dysmorphia going on here. | ||
| I don't want to judge them for it, but I do because it's on air on a show where you're saying that immigrants are invaders and shit like that. | ||
| So go fuck off. | ||
| You don't really get much sympathy from me. | ||
| And it's kind of embarrassing, you know, to walk around like you're trying to be one of those big guys. | ||
| But I am a big guy, so I shouldn't be embarrassed of it. | ||
| And I'm just saying, I'm not going to hunch over and hide anymore. | ||
| But they've actually made me come out of my show. | ||
| Actually, this is an interesting path to go down, Alex, because there's this whole trend right now happening about body shaming, right? | ||
| And so it's like, if you're overweight and obese, like, they want you to show off your body like, I mean, women are wearing, like, yoga pants now that, I mean, it should almost be illegal. | ||
| But, like, if you're actually in shape like a fit guy, like, sometimes, Alex, it's, like, weird. | ||
| Like, I feel bad, like, if I go out in a muscle shirt walking... | ||
| Because you're in great shape. | ||
| And there's, like, a bunch of... | ||
| What are you, like, 3% body fat? | ||
| Probably something like that. | ||
| Just fuck already! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Christ! | |
| Depending on the day. | ||
| But it's, like... | ||
| If you walk around in a muscle shirt and you're a big tough guy or whatever, you're kind of like, oh yeah, thanks for rubbing it in. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| But if you're someone overweight that just chooses to be overweight and then chooses to scoot around on the store on your scooter instead of walking and stuff like that. | ||
| Oh, it's like going to the Antifa meetings. | ||
| These women go, I love Satan, I kill my babies and I stink. | ||
| Real quick, he's saying Antifa meetings, but that's the exact same thing he claimed about when he would protest abortion rallies. | ||
| He's just reusing material. | ||
| This is hacky. | ||
| This is like if there was a sketch where Woody Allen wore an Arnold Schwarzenegger suit. | ||
| Like, this is exactly the kind of neuroses that would come out. | ||
| It's weird, man. | ||
| It's super weird. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is gross. | |
| And then also the idea that Owen is like, if you're too hot, people hate you. | ||
| It's like, God, just fuck off. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| We've heard this line before, and it's stupid. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was dumb then. | ||
| It's dumb now. | ||
| You're not getting any smarter. | ||
| Why are you coming to this like it's brand new? | ||
| Well, because that's what all of these people are. | ||
| The Ben Shapiros of the world. | ||
| The Jordan Petersons. | ||
| The Sam Harrises. | ||
| Stefan Molyneux, all of the intellectual dark web, all of their stock and trade is really just rephrasing conversations we've already had as a society and we've rejected out of hand. | ||
| Like, oh, that's stupid. | ||
| In the same way that that's what Owen's doing here. | ||
| What if toxic masculinity... | ||
| Acted like it was smart. | ||
| What if women really are fucking stupid? | ||
| Oh, ha ha ha! | ||
| What if Tim Allen was right all along? | ||
| What if there are actual qualitative differences between races? | ||
| Hold on! | ||
| Now, that's an interesting conversation. | ||
| Now, what if, you know, like, really whoever one is judging is people who are too hot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, aren't they the real victims here, Dan? | |
| Aren't they the real victims? | ||
| If we just don't call people fat and say that they're ugly and stupid and pretend that there's a morality base to people's physical appearance, the next thing you know, we're going to be in Harrison Bergeron. | ||
| And I'm going to have to wear glasses that make me blind because my vision's too good. | ||
| Oh no, Dan! | ||
| Oh no! | ||
| Fucking baby. | ||
| Oh, you know what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I feel so bad that we should outlaw... | |
| People that I find unattractive wearing tight clothes. | ||
| What a fucking baby. | ||
| What a baby. | ||
| So, Owen has one more thing to say here that I think is really funny. | ||
| And actually, it changed some of my political beliefs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did it? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Not in the way Owen would hope. | ||
| You know, Beto O 'Rourke, a fake name, they put Beto in his name to, you know, make him, you know... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| These Democrats, they always manipulate anyway to get votes. | ||
| But Beto O 'Rourke plays a concert with Willie Nelson. | ||
| So Willie Nelson is now... | ||
| Promoting Beto O 'Rourke to defeat Ted Cruz, which is bad. | ||
| Ted Cruz is a great voting record. | ||
| Beto O 'Rourke is an anti-conservative, anti-Trump, liberal nutjob, phony Democrat. | ||
| So what am I going to do? | ||
| I can't compete with Willie Nelson. | ||
| Wait a second. | ||
| Maybe I can. | ||
| You can't. | ||
| No, you can't. | ||
| So, hey, man. | ||
| Excuse me, Owen. | ||
| I know you got an inflated view of yourself. | ||
| Still not going to touch Willie Nelson, my friend. | ||
| Now, I will say that absent any other information, saying that... | ||
| Is that her real name? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Is an expression of racism. | ||
| That is absolutely... | ||
| Because you're not... | ||
| You know what? | ||
| It's very easy to find out if something is someone's real name. | ||
| You can just look that up. | ||
| Can you? | ||
| Yeah, you can. | ||
| How? | ||
| Especially public figures and people who are sitting in office. | ||
| Name one way. | ||
| Google it. | ||
| So you can do that. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I'm not even going to look into that person, Sylvia Garcia. | ||
| I don't give a shit. | ||
| I believe that's her name. | ||
| And unless Owen's going to present me with some sort of evidence that it's not... | ||
| I just see that as an expression of him questioning somebody's minority bona fides or something. | ||
| Now, Beto O 'Rourke is an interesting case because Beto is not his real name. | ||
| His birth name is Robert Francis O 'Rourke, but he started going by Beto in his primary school days because Beto is a Spanish nickname for Robert. | ||
| This probably had something to do with the fact that he grew up in El Paso, which, I'm not sure if you know this, is literally on the border of Mexico, and 80.7% of the population of El Paso has some sort of Hispanic heritage. | ||
| He went to Carlos Rivera Elementary School in El Paso High School. | ||
| That school, by the way, El Paso High School, is a school that the Klan tried to rename Sam Houston High School in 1922. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Good work, guys. | ||
| You guys are doing it. | ||
| Beto is grown up surrounded by and immersed in Latinx heritage. | ||
| And the idea that most of his friends growing up were probably Hispanic makes a complete sense that he would end up with a Spanish-inspired nickname that stuck. | ||
| I think Beto's a fun name. | ||
| I don't think there's anything wrong with that. | ||
| Yeah, I'm fine with it. | ||
| Also, I was a bit wishy-washy about Beto until Alex and Owen made me look into him a little bit. | ||
| No, he's pretty fucking great. | ||
| I'm all in. | ||
| I know, he's great! | ||
| Though... | ||
| I would support a sack of potatoes on the ballot against Ted Cruz. | ||
| Beto pushed me over the line when I learned that he used to be the bassist in a band called Foss, which featured Cedric Bixler-Zavala from At The Drive-In. | ||
| Oh, he did. | ||
| Oh, he was. | ||
| I had no idea. | ||
| What do you mean you didn't know that? | ||
| That's the only thing to know about Beto O 'Rourke. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's progressive or whatever. | ||
| But he was in a band with the guy from At The Drive-In? | ||
| Cedric Bixler. | ||
| Come on, dude! | ||
| That's nuts. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| And the Mars Volta? | ||
| This dude. | ||
| Fucking Beto. | ||
| President. | ||
| For life. | ||
| Actually, no. | ||
| Scratch that. | ||
| At the drive-in, as a concept, president for life. | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| A lot of that doesn't hold up. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| A lot of it does. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| A lot of Mars Volta doesn't. | ||
| A lot of Mars Volta doesn't. | ||
| A little bit indulgent there, Cedric. | ||
| Hey, man. | ||
| Shit, what's the name of it? | ||
| What? | ||
| Rats in the Sanitarium? | ||
| No. | ||
| Shit. | ||
| Comatorium? | ||
| Comatorium, yeah. | ||
| That one's a great album. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Great album. | ||
| It's good. | ||
| Later albums? | ||
| A little self-indulgent. | ||
| I will say, from the jump, a little self-indulgent. | ||
| A little bit. | ||
| It worked better earlier, but who cares? | ||
| Great, great drumming, though. | ||
| All still better than Sparta. | ||
| Really great drummer. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| Let's move along. | ||
| Can't get too bogged down in the world of old-timey yelling rock? | ||
| I don't know what to call it. | ||
| Don't worry about it. | ||
| And by the way, that's not my genre at all, but my friends were super into it at the drive-in, and I'm glad they were, because I enjoyed the hell out of them. | ||
| Hey, man, I love a band that can put together three concept albums. | ||
| I'm always going to go with, look, whether they're good or not. | ||
| Must love Dan the Automator. | ||
| I do love Dan the Automator. | ||
| Almost nothing with concept albums. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So, Jordan. | ||
| Yes, Dan. | ||
| Have we come to it? | ||
| We've come to the point where... | ||
| Your life became great. | ||
| No. | ||
| Not my life became great. | ||
| But we have definitely the strongest indication that Alex Jones' life is not great. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Which makes me giggle, because he's a pile of shit. | ||
| Yeah, fuck off. | ||
| This starts with what I would describe as an absolute indication that he listens to our show. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And then by the end of this clip, we see... | ||
| Where the future of Infowars lies. | ||
| And my friend, it ain't a good place. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ha ha ha ha! | |
| From the front lines of the information war, it's Alex Jones. | ||
| The boys tell how Bonjo fell and left his living in a cheap hotel. | ||
| down The desert's quiet. | ||
| Cleveland's cold. | ||
| Alex, if you want to donate and become a policy walker, there's a link. | ||
| Visit knowledgefight.com. | ||
| God, we could duet this at karaoke. | ||
| What about the bridging of worlds? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Yeah, I'm out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He only did what he had to do. | |
| And now he's grown old. | ||
| Hard to believe Merle Haggard died. | ||
| Was this year or last year? | ||
| Last year. | ||
| Conrad Padilla is here. | ||
| I'm really impressed with how smart he is. | ||
| And I find him here because we're doing a business venture together. | ||
| But he doesn't even want to get into that. | ||
| And that's fine. | ||
| He wants to get into the college conspiracy. | ||
| Just an example of this. | ||
| But I want to get into InfoWarsYes.com. | ||
| InfoWarsYes.com. | ||
| InfoWarsYes.com? | ||
| Now, I'm not going to tell you what this is just yet. | ||
| All right. | ||
| But just know. | ||
| It's bad news. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Also, I believe that Merle Haggard died. | ||
| Does anybody know who owns Infowarsno.com? | ||
| I think someone did buy it. | ||
| I saw a tweet. | ||
| I think maybe his ex-wife bought it. | ||
| I think Kelly might have bought Infowarsno. | ||
| Which is... | ||
| That's pretty funny. | ||
| It's crazy that Alex wouldn't buy that. | ||
| That's pretty funny. | ||
| But to not, like, I mean, he didn't own Infowars.com when he started Infowars. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like, someone else was sitting on that for a really long time. | ||
| So the idea that he wouldn't cover his bases and get Infowars, no, is like, yeah, that's Alex. | ||
| I mean, if it was me and I was going to come up with knowledgefightyes.com, we would also own knowledgefight no, knowledgefight maybe, knowledgefight possibly, knowledgefight indetermined. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's just good planning. | ||
| So, in this next clip, Alex explains that he's going to invade Europe, which is cool. | ||
| By himself? | ||
| And then gets back to this idea of... | ||
| How many horses does he have? | ||
| Many. | ||
| But then he gets back to this idea of the college conspiracy that Conrad Padilla wants to talk about. | ||
| Also, by the way, I had a really tough time with figuring out who Conrad Padilla is because there's also an MMA fighter named Conrad Padilla. | ||
| It's not him. | ||
| It's not him? | ||
| Different cat. | ||
| Different cat. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So I just want the listeners to know, obviously, this is something good to get in on the ground level of InfowarsYes.com. | ||
| Just like I told you, Trump was good to get into the beginning of it, and they're also not once to be sponsors to support us, so we like that. | ||
| But I've already heard about them for years, and then we're doing a lot of stuff in Europe. | ||
| That's where they're in the top three companies in England and Germany and places. | ||
| So that's perfect for our European invasion we're about to launch. | ||
| I mean, you'll never know we launched it. | ||
| I mean, the enemy listens to my phones. | ||
| They know what we're doing. | ||
| But let's just leave it at that. | ||
| The European invasion will begin. | ||
| Get the British invasion with the Beatles and stuff. | ||
| We'll get ready for the American invasion with the Info War. | ||
| And I'm just going to stop right there. | ||
| We've got more people involved. | ||
| Just enjoy it. | ||
| Give the listeners real breadcrumbs. | ||
| As one of us goes, we all go. | ||
| But Conrad Padilla, thank you for joining us. | ||
| You've got the floor for the rest of the hour. | ||
| Get into the college conspiracy. | ||
| So, he's gonna invade Europe. | ||
| There's world leaders involved. | ||
| You're just fucking talking about Nigel Farage, who gives a fuck. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And if you want to go with, like, the Beatles analogy, now's not the right time. | ||
| The big news about the Beatles is that John Lennon and Paul McCartney jacked off together. | ||
| So I imagine he's just saying that him and Nigel Farage did a little bit of mutual masturbation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know... | |
| That's what I'm guessing. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| If you're in the biggest band in the world... | ||
| Oh, totally. | ||
| Right. | ||
| At the time. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| And you've had sex with literally everybody there is to have sex with. | ||
| I don't... | ||
| The only thing left for you is to jerk... | ||
| I don't find anything wrong with that. | ||
| I don't even think that's a fun story. | ||
| No! | ||
| That's great! | ||
| All the puns that people are working out, like a billion people... | ||
| I really didn't know that that was... | ||
| Is that real? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Really? | ||
| That was a story that came out, yeah. | ||
| But that sounds great! | ||
| That's like David Bowie and Mick Jagger! | ||
| How did you not see the billion people... | ||
| Because I'm off Twitter, I'm off Facebook. | ||
| I'm off all of it, man. | ||
| A fucking billion people tweeted, come together. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| That's the simplest way to go. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's fun. | ||
| Anyway, he's... | ||
| No, I'm happy for them. | ||
| Just like I'm happy for David Bowie and Mick Jagger when they fucked. | ||
| Good for you guys. | ||
| Have a great old time. | ||
| Or Richard Pryor and... | ||
| Who was that? | ||
| Who was that? | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| Now I can't remember. | ||
| Ernest Hemingway. | ||
| Was it Ernest Hemingway? | ||
| I don't think it was. | ||
| Why was that your poll? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Because it was Bogart. | ||
| Humphrey Bogart. | ||

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Was it? | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, it wasn't. | ||
| It was some actor. | ||
| Wait, why would it be Humphrey Bogart? | ||
| I don't know if Humphrey Bogart... | ||
| Because I keep thinking Merle Haggard now. | ||
| And getting Merle Haggard out of my head, I somehow jumped to... | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| Dan, I hate to break it to you, but Humphrey Bogart 2 is dead. | ||
| It was Marlon Brando. | ||
| That's who it was. | ||
| That sounds right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Quincy Jones was talking about it. | ||
| Oh, that's right. | ||
| On that fantastic interview that Quincy Jones gave. | ||
| That was such a fucking delight. | ||
| All these kids don't understand music. | ||
| Also, Humphrey Bogart used to fuck... | ||
| Richard Pryor. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Hey. | ||
| Much like rich people infusing young blood as a novelty, sometimes, you know, if you're not gay, you're rich, you're famous, you're going to go swing a little bit. | ||
| You get high as fuck one night, you just figure, hey, what are we doing not doing this? | ||
| Nothing wrong with experimenting. | ||
| Anyway, the college conspiracy keeps coming up, and you might think that that has something to do with student loans being abusive. | ||
| You might think it has... | ||
| It has something to do with people not being necessarily prepared for the world outside by the educational system as it is. | ||
| And that second one is kind of close to what Padilla wants to talk about. | ||
| But I'll let him lay out his version of the college conspiracy. | ||
| All right, here we go. | ||
| Well, our whole system, Alex, teaches go to school, get your higher education. | ||
| And somehow you're going to go out there and get this job that's going to pay you a whole bunch of money. | ||
| Well, what's happening right now is you've got kids right now who have a master's degree that are working at Starbucks and they're working at a bunch of different places like that and they can't find... | ||
| By the way, Starbucks has great benefits. | ||
| The jobs are out there because everybody's doing the same thing. | ||
| And even the Huffington Post admission should be abolished. | ||
| At 90%, you never get your money back. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Well, the biggest problem we have right now is people don't realize the debt that's being achieved by our government. | ||
| I think college should be abolished. | ||
| The college debt that's happening right now that, in most cases, doesn't even have to be paid back. | ||
| Well, somebody's going to have to pay it back. | ||
| Why? | ||
| So our system is teaching. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, no, it's actually against the law not to pay it back. | |
| They made it a law. | ||
| And then, by the way, you can't buy a house. | ||
| You can't declare bankruptcy. | ||
| And it's going to affect the way that you can actually, you know, respectively run in your life. | ||
| So they're literally putting a ball and chain on them. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| I think that's what the whole point is, is that our system's not teaching one of the most important things, which is entrepreneurship. | ||
| Alright, no, that's not the problem. | ||
| I look at entrepreneurship as, you know, some people have an issue with Trump being in the office. | ||
| Well, Trump's an entrepreneur. | ||
| No, he's not! | ||
| He's the fucking beneficiary of nepotism on a grand scale and on top of that fucking white nationalism. | ||
| He is a product purely of white nationalism. | ||
| This is a man born, raised, and supported by a KKK member who was then elected to office purely based on how racist he was. | ||
| Trump is emblematic of white supremacy. | ||
| Trump is the dumbest, least fucking valuable human being on the goddamn planet, supported by this goddamn bullshit world that we live in. | ||
| That is fucking unsettling to describe him as an entrepreneur. | ||
| Jordan, look, I agree. | ||
| You said you wanted to get out of here before. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Just listening to that, listening to those words. | ||
| It's pretty bad. | ||
| The college conspiracy, as I hear him laying it out, is that they don't teach entrepreneurship. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Which is, you know, I mean, I don't think that that's necessarily the main problem. | ||
| None dare graduate a conspiracy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I would be willing to have that conversation with someone if they were to bring it up. | ||
| You know, like, that to me isn't like, how dare you, or anything like that. | ||
| I don't find that position to be that wild. | ||
| Don't they? | ||
| Don't they have, like, specific degrees? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, there's business school. | |
| Aren't there specific schools specifically for entrepreneurship? | ||
| Sure, but also, I mean, I think you could make an argument that, you know, you gotta have a biology credit in most undergraduate degrees. | ||
| You gotta have a chemistry credit in most universities. | ||
| And I know from going to college, I didn't need to have a business class or anything like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| I could see an argument being made that, like, in terms of preparing people for the life outside of prison. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Outside of college. | |
| Floating and slip. | ||
| Outside of college, it would be beneficial for them to prepare and have some sort of an understanding of economics, business, that sort of thing. | ||
| I really feel like that's high school shit. | ||
| Freshman year, you should have a... | ||
| Fine, but then you're passing the book. | ||
| Here's how fucking credit cards work. | ||
| But a lot of times, home economics and that sort of stuff, or civics classes in high school, are prerequisites, and they are required. | ||
| And they don't do a good job. | ||
| All you're doing is pushing the buck back further. | ||
| Wherever you do it, people should be prepared in some way. | ||
| Now, whether you want to make the argument it's in high school or it's in college, I'm listening both sides. | ||
| I'm fine, again, with that conversation. | ||
| Now, it's unfortunate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here we go. | |
| Because this is a self-serving argument. | ||
| Oh, surprise! | ||
| Now... | ||
| Would he perhaps have some sort of... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hold on. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| Some, like, maybe he's putting together. | ||
| Jordan! | ||
| If he thinks that the colleges aren't doing it, are you saying that he might think that there's an opening for someone to step in and do it? | ||
| To teach entrepreneurship? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| You might be way too lofty. | ||
| Oh, I'm sorry. | ||
| Is he instead selling a VHS tape where he gives advice? | ||
| You're not far off. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| There's a pamphlet you can buy for $25. | ||
| Conrad Padilla was like a traitor, like in stocks and what have you. | ||
| He was unhappy with his life. | ||
| And that is where, in this next clip, dude, this is a mic down. | ||
| Very seriously. | ||
| Because this is where everything is going to change for Alex. | ||
| Remember, he brought up InfoWars Yes. | ||
| We're going to find out a little bit about it. | ||
| We're going to all say InfoWars Yes soon. | ||
| I'm going to say InfoWars Oh No. | ||
| So what I started realizing was this is not what I want to do for the rest of my life. | ||
| So this profession came around, you know, network marketing, MLM. | ||
| As you know, sometimes people have a stigma of it, but the reality is most people don't really actually know that it's been around for over 100 years. | ||
| And what a lot of people don't actually realize is that this profession is so proven around the world that's helped millions of people out the world be able to go into entrepreneurship. | ||
| Well, mainstream media demonizes it. | ||
| There's some good companies, some bad. | ||
| But it's a model built around good products. | ||
| That's why I've been offered hundreds of these deals. | ||
| I've only done two. | ||
| When it's a great product line, when it's already been successful, and then it just gives people a position to get other folks under them also outselling. | ||
| And with products like... | ||
| We should get rid of the products, because it also funds the show now, and it's a win-win. | ||
| I mean, these are some of the best products out there. | ||
| Well, they are. | ||
| See, the reason that I was... | ||
| When I became an independent distributor for Jeunesse, the biggest thing that I liked about the company is that the owners of the company were successful business people before Jeunesse. | ||
| They were really successful people. | ||
| So, if you are not putting the pieces together... | ||
| Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. | ||
| Has become a mid-level, multi-level marketing scam guy for Jeunesse. | ||
| You betcha. | ||
| So he's not even running his own MLM anymore. | ||
| He is just an independent contractor for a multi-level marketing scheme. | ||
| And that's what InfoWarsYes is. | ||
| It's a funnel to get people to sign up to be distributors for DNS. | ||
| That can't be real. | ||
| That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. | ||
| It's pretty remarkable. | ||
| That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. | ||
| I'm genuinely sad. | ||
| Yeah, it's pretty wild stuff. | ||
| I mean, at the bottom of InfoWarsYes page, like if you go to InfoWarsYes.com and you scroll all the way to the bottom, there's a... | ||
| Disclaimer. | ||
| Quote, this site is owned and operated by an independent Juness distributor. | ||
| In other words, Alex Jones is now a Juness distributor. | ||
| That's not all that's going on. | ||
| He's trying to recruit people to sell Juness products to their friends. | ||
| Well, yeah, but that's how the multi-level marketing works. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| What the shit? | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Twice in my life. | ||
| Twice in my life. | ||
| And these are two generative, formative experiences for me. | ||
| All right? | ||
| All right. | ||
| First, when I was like... | ||
| Nine? | ||
| My dad bought a timeshare. | ||
| And somehow, even then, when he was explaining it to me, I was like, this is a bad idea. | ||
| This is not valuable. | ||
| You are dumb. | ||
| And then again, when I was like 22, my dad started telling me about this. | ||
| Oh, so there's this thing. | ||
| Okay, so what you do. | ||
| It's not like they sell anything. | ||
| It's that they give you a membership, and through this membership, you get discounts. | ||
| And if you tell other people about this membership, and they get this membership, they have to pay a small fee. | ||
| You know, I have to pay a small fee. | ||
| But the more people you tell, the better discounts you get, and then actually you get a kickback for every person who signs up using your information. | ||
| I can't imagine how your dad ended up in a cult. | ||
| I know, right? | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Yeah, it seems like a trend. | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| It's weird how he doesn't understand when he's being conned. | ||
| When I was 18 years old, I went to a Cutco meeting. | ||
| You know Cutco? | ||
| Oh, I've heard of, yeah, I remember Cutco. | ||
| So at the time I was working at a movie theater making $5.15 an hour at this movie theater, sweeping up popcorn, working the concession stand and what have you. | ||
| I would later go on to manage that theater as a hero of the 4M8 theater. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| Selling knives all the way. | ||
| At that point, I walked out to my car and someone had put a flyer for Cutco in there. | ||
| It was on all the cars. | ||
| And I was like... | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| Maybe I'll go check out this seminar or whatever. | ||
| Now, at the same time, my then roommate was trying to make a reality show about my life because I was completely out of control and we had a handy cam. | ||
| We had a little digital video camera. | ||
| So we decided, wouldn't it be fun if I got really drunk and went to this Cutco meeting? | ||
| Yes, it would be. | ||
| Because it's a cattle call. | ||
| It's just tons of people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, no, anybody. | |
| We knew that was going to be the case. | ||
| So I got fucking wasted. | ||
| And then we went. | ||
| He drove. | ||
| We were safe. | ||
| Good. | ||
| We brought the video camera. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And we get to the door, and they're like, you cannot videotape. | ||
| Of course not. | ||
| So he had to wait in the car, and I was just fucking wasted. | ||
| And now, like, there's not even going to be video of this. | ||
| What am I doing here? | ||
| Why did I stay? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it's just a sales pitch where they're, like, cutting pennies and stuff like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| And it's very rah-rah, and there's always the guy who's like, now, you might say to yourself, there's no way. | ||
| This is too good to be true. | ||
| I'm going to bring up... | ||
| Mr. and Mrs. Derrickson. | ||
| And they are going to tell you exactly how it changed their lives. | ||
| They went from having some sort of regular real estate job where you sell real estate to making $38,000 per month. | ||
| Does everybody here want to make $38,000 per month? | ||
| There wasn't anyone like that, but the guy was running it. | ||
| That was his story. | ||
| It's me, myself. | ||
| I don't trust you. | ||
| But then there was obviously one person in the audience who was playing it. | ||
| And was just like, oh my god, that's amazing! | ||
| Stuff like that. | ||
| And so I'm drunk, and I can't make eye contact with the guy or anything. | ||
| I'm like... | ||
| I probably had like 13 beers before I went. | ||
| That's wasted. | ||
| And this was a day job. | ||
| This was a day game. | ||
| This was in the evening of the meeting. | ||
| Yeah, but like, what? | ||
| Five? | ||
| Six? | ||
| It might have been around seven, eight, something like that. | ||
| That's not terrible. | ||
| Thirteen beers before eight is fine. | ||
| I remember it being dark out, and I had the day off from the theater, and I was a champ at the time. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| You start drinking at noon if you're not at thirteen beers by eight. | ||
| I'm disappointed in you. | ||
| I am not buzzed. | ||
| I am... | ||
| Drunk. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And I'm like slouching in my chair and like probably, I probably burped a bit or whatever. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And I'm just sitting there thinking like, I gotta, this has gotta end. | ||
| I gotta get out of here. | ||
| It went on for like an hour. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And then after the hour, what he did was the guy who was running the seminar, who was clearly just like, he was the one who put the flyers around. | ||
| He's trying to recruit more people so he can make money off them. | ||
| So what he does is he brought everyone into his office, two at a time. | ||
| And he gave the speech that he obviously gave to every single group of two. | ||
| He was like, I wanted to bring you guys in here because you are, you know, I can tell you, you have it. | ||
| Or whatever. | ||
| Oh my god, you transparent bullshitter. | ||
| I was in there with a girl who was like very chipper and like clearly kind of interested. | ||
| She was a go-getter. | ||
| A little bit. | ||
| And I'm drunk. | ||
| And so he was like, he was pointing at her and he's like, you seem to have the go-getter spirit. | ||
| I think you have a good future in this. | ||
| And he looked over at me. | ||
| He was like, you? | ||
| You make great eye contact. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I can't say for sure whether or not I laughed in his face. | |
| But I'm like, how dare? | ||
| First of all, I'm drunk. | ||
| Second, I have a cross eye. | ||
| Like, what are you doing? | ||
| That's the one thing you thought of? | ||
| So he offered us both positions, and of course, it's a thing where it's like, you know, you have to pay a bunch of money to get your set of knives that you can then walk around. | ||
| It's crazy how you have to buy the knives first, and then you, ugh. | ||
| It's that standard setup. | ||
| I went in there and... | ||
| It's like you're a newsie in the 1910s. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| So they tried to get me to, you know, they would constantly contact me after that, and were like, you know, want to set up this thing, get your package together. | ||
| And this is before spam filter in your email. | ||
| Or even, like, calling me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Gross. | ||
| And so I always ignored them and all that. | ||
| And then I had a buddy who, it was maybe a year later, I'd moved. | ||
| I was living with another guy. | ||
| A guy I knew from high school who was kind of, he was a little impressionable and all that. | ||
| So he got a Cutco meeting. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| He thought it was big stuff. | ||
| Oh, that poor kid. | ||
| The potential to make so much money was in front of him. | ||
| All it takes is me working hard. | ||
| It's all about you. | ||
| And so I told him, I was like, man. | ||
| I went to one of those meetings and I told him the story that I just told. | ||
| And I'm like, they're con artists. | ||
| This is a scam. | ||
| He's like, no, but I know someone who did it and they made a ton of money. | ||
| I'm like, but also consider how alienated they are from everybody who used to be their friends. | ||
| Because I knew the guy too. | ||
| You know that's the path you're going to have to go down. | ||
| Piss off your family. | ||
| You might get some pity purchases. | ||
| And then you're going to get fucked with all of these expensive knives that you have to buy as showcase knives. | ||
| And he wouldn't listen to me. | ||
| He ended up sinking like $1,000, $2,000 and just getting screwed by this pyramid scheme. | ||
| So now this is what Alex is doing. | ||
| Whoa, I don't like you saying pyramid scheme, Dan. | ||
| Pyramid scheme has a really negative connotation. | ||
| I prefer multi-level marketing scheme. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| So in the end of that last clip, Padilla is... | ||
| None dare call it a scam. | ||
| None dare call it a pyramid. | ||
| So in that last clip, at the end there, what Padilla was saying is that what made me attracted to this company was that the founders of it came in with such success in business. | ||
| They were very successful people. | ||
| Now, Jordan, I'd like to tell you that Juness is a multi-level marketing scheme started by Wendy Lewis and Randy Ray. | ||
| Previous to starting this health supplement scam company, the two operated another multi-level marketing business. | ||
| Called Fuel Freedom International. | ||
| Where they sold a product called MPG caps, which allegedly helped your car. | ||
| Oh, you gotta have an MPG cap. | ||
| It would help your car. | ||
| I've got eight MPG caps. | ||
| See, that's great, because it helps your car use gas more efficiently. | ||
| That's what I've always wanted! | ||
| Ultimately, this was shown to be complete bullshit. | ||
| What? | ||
| From Truth in Advertising. | ||
| Quote, In February 2009, Ray, as CEO and co-owner of this Fuel Freedom, signed an assurance of voluntary compliance with Florida's Office of Attorney General, and the company paid $100,000 and promised... | ||
| from making false claims in their business. | ||
| Since they could no longer legally make false claims of fuel freedom, they closed down shop and started June S because regulation of the supplement industry is nearly normal. | ||
| Yeah, it's almost like you can just start selling bullshit and call it something that's got health benefits because there are... | ||
| Billion-dollar companies that have lobbied Congress to ensure that they're not covered by the FDA. | ||
| So these people, Wendy Lewis and Randy Ray, who started a multi-level marketing company that sold a fraudulent product which got them a $100,000 fine by the Attorney General of Florida, and they had to cease operations because the jig was up, they brought that kind of success into Juness when they started it. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I'm going to be honest. | ||
| That's a brilliant move on their part. | ||
| I'm going to give them credit for that. | ||
| If you get caught... | ||
| But here's the problem. | ||
| Nobody gets scammed quite like a scammer. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| That's what's happening to Alex. | ||
| That's what's happening right now. | ||
| He is getting scammed so hard and he doesn't even know it. | ||
| It's beautiful to watch. | ||
| And it's so much worse than you can even imagine. | ||
| Like, right now, this show, InfoWars, at this point, on this episode... | ||
| It turns into a Juness infomercial. | ||
| No. | ||
| The point is, is that this is a great sponsor for us. | ||
| It's a great business for you. | ||
| It's not a sponsor. | ||
| I have my own supplements. | ||
| I have my own products that are excellent as well. | ||
| And I go out and find out whatever the best is. | ||
| Well, this is something that comes up to the InfoWars Live standard. | ||
| Real quick, all the products in the InfoWars store are now on harsh discounts. | ||
| And some of that is pretty normal. | ||
| The Easter sale might still be in effect. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| The Easter sale from six years ago. | ||
| They're really marked down. | ||
| A lot of stuff is. | ||
| And Alex, earlier in this episode, got on air and said that the situation with his... | ||
| What is it? | ||
| The iodine X2. | ||
| The survival shield X2. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| The crystal iodine. | ||
| The deep earth iodine. | ||
| The deep earth iodine. | ||
| He has on the website, if you go, it says this is the last shipment of this. | ||
| No shit. | ||
| Now, I know we've heard him say that before. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| But based on the fact that he is now bringing in this Juness multi-level marketing scheme, he's saying this is going to fund the operation. | ||
| I think that he's not working with Dr. Group anymore. | ||
| I think that probably a lot of the old products... | ||
| You think Dr. Group has bailed? | ||
| Well, I would. | ||
| If I were him, his... | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| No, he would absolutely bail. | ||
| He's diminishing like crazy. | ||
| He's a toxic brand. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And Dr. Group sells detoxes. | ||
| So he doesn't want to get involved with the toxic brand. | ||
| Pass. | ||
| So Alex probably... | ||
| Minus one. | ||
| Well, Alex has a situation here where Dr. Group was very happy to be in this arrangement with him where he would rename products and let Alex sell them and take his cut of it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But now that Alex's reach is so gone, he's not able to promote his products on YouTube, he's not able to promote his products on Facebook and Twitter and all these other places, what good is it for him to private label all this stuff that Alex isn't going to be able to sell? | ||
| When was the last time Dr. Group was on? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| I think it's been a while. | ||
| I think it's been a little while. | ||
| You think so? | ||
| I wonder if Dr. Group ever comes back. | ||
| Let me say that this is just a theory of mine. | ||
| I have nothing to back this up. | ||
| But the fact that Alex is again doing the this is the last X2 thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he's not doing that in some way, like, in the past we've heard him say that to scare people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's not saying it like that on this episode. | ||
| He's saying that this is probably the last run of X2 and, you know, get it if you want it. | ||
| That sort of thing. | ||
| Like, eh, we got some in the warehouse. | ||
| We gotta move it because we gotta get that Jeunesse product. | ||
| It's taking up space. | ||
| So I'm... | ||
| And he was already running a multi-layer... | ||
|
unidentified
|
InfoWars. | |
| Yeah, InfoWars Life or InfoWars Team or whatever. | ||
| Yeah, but that was sort of the secondary aspect to his operation. | ||
| He would never really sell that all that hard. | ||
| Like, he would just mention that you could get discounts if you joined the team. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| But he wouldn't sit there and be like, now it would be great if you did that. | ||
| He was more interested in getting people on auto-ship so they would forget to cancel and then make that money. | ||
| Auto-ship is the good stuff. | ||
| That was his... | ||
| Now it's Juness, baby. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| And is a powerful ally for us to be another Hydra head. | ||
| As they attack us, we're growing another head. | ||
| And it's Juness. | ||
| It's InfoWarsYes.com. | ||
| Conrad Padilla, please take over. | ||
| When you look at all the products, Alex, basically it's called the Youth Enhancement System. | ||
| And basically what it means is that Every product here has solutions. | ||
| It's like drinking children's blood. | ||
| If you look at PM right here, this product here, 70% of Americans have sleep issues. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| 70%. | ||
| No, come on. | ||
| People who have sleep issues. | ||
| I will tell you, this is probably my favorite product, only because it's hard for me to unwind. | ||
| I'm one of those people that just goes, goes, goes, goes. | ||
| And then, of course, the AM, what it does is energy-focused clarity. | ||
| But one of the products that you had talked about even was what's called Mind. | ||
| In fact, a lot of the guys in here are using Mind. | ||
| I mean, we live in a society right now where who doesn't have a cell phone and who's not exposed to technology literally all day long? | ||
| I mean, when was the last time you were with somebody and they're looking at their phone all the time? | ||
| And we live in a society where attention deficit disorder is like all over the place, right? | ||
| The Mind product, what it really does is it really helps with focus and it helps with memory. | ||
| I don't know about you, Alex, but sometimes what happens to you is like, sometimes I forget things really easy. | ||
| Take your money and go! | ||
| Well, they've got studies. | ||
| They give you so many false choices that aren't real choices. | ||
| You can only make so many decisions in a day before you degrade. | ||
| Any executive knows that. | ||
| And so, just like Sean Parker of Facebook said, he goes, we give you all these fake choices that release all your dopamine that don't matter. | ||
| We're stealing your time when you should not be making all those decisions this quick. | ||
| So, there's too many decisions we're being given. | ||
| Something like this boosts the cognitive ability to make more decisions. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then if you look at reserve... | ||
| What a pile of shit. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| That's ridiculous. | ||
| This is heartbreaking. | ||
| I mean, even for Alex, this is depressing. | ||
| Yeah, you should just go away. | ||
| Yeah, this is... | ||
| Just let this one go! | ||
| Look, you lost! | ||
| This is the sort of thing that will, like, kill his legacy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because he's gonna fuck over all of his listeners. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely! | |
| If they go along with this, they are going to blame him for it. | ||
| Yeah, no, quit! | ||
| Just right off into the sunset! | ||
| This is not the action of somebody who intends to be around for very long. | ||
| Prudently invest! | ||
| Because this will catch up with you. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| This is the sort of thing where listeners will sign up and they will end up losing a bunch of money or making none and losing it because they've had to pay into the system. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And then they're going to blame Alex and they're going to be, why did you steer us this direction, you son of a bitch? | ||
| This is a really bad thing. | ||
| But Alex, you know, like... | ||
| One of the big reasons that I think he stopped working with Dr. Group, or intends to in the future, is that list of products, they're all duplicates of products he already sells. | ||
| Yeah, they're the same shit. | ||
| It's all the exact same solutions that Alex already offers with the Global Healing Center products that he sells. | ||
| So I don't see a reason that he should have duplicate products. | ||
| They're only going to cannibalize each other. | ||
| If you want to sell something that will help with sleep, you sell PM or Knockout. | ||
| Now, a little bit later in this infomercial, Alex talks about how PM is better than Knockout. | ||
| Really? | ||
| That leads me to believe, for sure, he's jumping ship on his old supplements. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Which is probably a smart thing to do, because you don't need the R&D. | ||
| You don't need the production capabilities. | ||
| You can cut costs on that end of it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Whatever he was chipping in to Dr. Group to develop the products, and whatever he was paying him for branding and licensing and stuff like that, maybe some of that goes away. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know what kind of deal he's worked out with Juness, but it's probably a sweetheart deal. | ||
| But also, Juness is the only kind of company that'll probably get in bed with Alex now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That speaks volumes about both companies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So all this is bad. | ||
| I mean, it looks real bad. | ||
| It's bad on a lot of levels. | ||
| But Alex wants you to know that this is not a multi-level marketing thing. | ||
| There's great products. | ||
| But unfortunately, within a minute, this same clip... | ||
| He then explains that it is a multi-level marketing. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He contradicts himself within the course of a minute trying to sell this business. | ||
| Our listeners need to know you guys are already one of the top companies worldwide. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| You're now doing your big push in the U.S. I think people need to get fundamentally involved in this. | ||
| You guys are so successful. | ||
| And I was reading in the different perspectives online in Wall Street. | ||
| What perspective? | ||
| That you're doing something, because you're not an MLM company. | ||
| You're a skin care product, energy company, supplement, lifestyle, highest quality, with medical doctors designing it. | ||
| But you use MLM as the model, so folks get word of mouth, the most powerful thing in the universe, especially in the censorship paradigm. | ||
| And so you guys are set to dominate in the United States. | ||
| I'm just telling listeners, I told you America was about to be great again. | ||
| I told you Trump was about to get novice. | ||
| I mean, that's why they hate us, folks. | ||
| We know what's going on, and people need to go to InfowarsYes.com to be part of this, get great products, a great business model. | ||
| You don't have to be a business person. | ||
| You don't have to be a distributor to get the products. | ||
| You can buy them straight up or get discounts and get them. | ||
| But you guys have some deals where If people show real interest and involvement, you're doing something no direct marketing company has ever done. | ||
| Right off into the sunset! | ||
| So we're talking about the products, but also the business model is really the big product. | ||
| Independence, freedom, everything. | ||
| So he's saying that the big product is the business, the business model. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now I want to talk to you a little bit about Juness and why this is a big trouble. | |
| So we already talked about how the owners and the founders of Juness also got in trouble for running a fraudulent MLM company before this. | ||
| But also according to Truth in Advertising, quote, to date, close to 50 complaints have been filed with the Florida Attorney General's Office and the Federal Trade Commission regarding Juness. | ||
| The vast majority of complaints concern problems with obtaining refunds and claims that Juness is a pyramid and or Ponzi scheme. | ||
| Juness is or has been involved in at least 16 lawsuits since its inception, including two class action lawsuits that allege the company is operating a pyramid scheme and engaging in racketeering activities. | ||
| This, to my assessment, Flag! | ||
| strongest possible way to jumpstart their business by purchasing a product package, which ranges in price from about $200 to $1,800. | ||
| Not surprisingly, many distributors are encouraged to buy the most expensive $1,800 package. | ||
| As one of their very successful operators, Kim Hui, explains, it's a no-brainer. | ||
| Flag! | ||
| Because it temporarily catapults newbies four levels up the compensation structure. | ||
| Super flag! | ||
| To the rank of Sapphire. | ||
| Post flag! | ||
| If there's ranks based on gems, then you're fucking flagged, unless it's Steven Universe. | ||
| In addition to this, there's a $19.95 fee that is charged annually to keep you on the roster. | ||
| Flag. | ||
| As well as a minimum of $85 a month you have to buy in product in order to be eligible for commissions or distributor discounts. | ||
| Oh my god, flag. | ||
| That's almost $1,000 a year, not including the introductory packages that you have to pay for the privilege of annoying your friends. | ||
| And here's the issue. | ||
| As is pretty much always the case with businesses that are set up as multi-level marketing operations. | ||
| Their products are very expensive, so buying them yourself doesn't really make sense, but it starts to look more appealing when you consider the discount you'd be making if you were a distributor. | ||
| Agreeing to sell the products to your friends and family makes the products that were once too expensive for you come within your price range. | ||
| This is a very intentional strategy because businesses like Juness are not looking for customers to buy their products. | ||
| They're looking for people to become distributors because whether they succeed Wait, did he even do? | ||
|
unidentified
|
She. | |
| She. | ||
| I apologize. | ||
| She even used the word linear. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| So what she is then suggesting that somebody doing something is in a straight line. | ||
| However... | ||
| If you have somebody at the top with multiple lines going down, that is almost some sort of triangle. | ||
| Or if you were to take it into a three-dimensional form, what would you describe it as, Dan? | ||
| I don't know if I could legally. | ||
| Also, trading time for money is kind of the basis of labor. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| But this business model is about building distribution and about creating wealth. | ||
| And then the third thing we do is teach people how to teach other people. | ||
| And so that's when true duplication happens. | ||
| That's the problem with colleges. | ||
| They don't have entrepreneurship classes, Dan. | ||
| That's a quote from her. | ||
| Now, another quote of hers makes things even more clear. | ||
| Quote, you know we as distributors, we get product at wholesale, and then when people buy it, they buy at retail. | ||
| So we get it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So. | |
| So... | ||
| *laughter* | ||
| So, we get a little retail commission. | ||
| Now, that will be the smallest pay you ever get, okay? | ||
| Because when somebody else buys it at retail. | ||
| I forget about retail commissions for me. | ||
| I'm not in this to sell product. | ||
| I'm here to build a global distribution. | ||
| So, it's very clear what the business is about. | ||
| Why are you interviewing somebody who's giving up the game like that? | ||
| Because I think that was from, those quotes I think are from her giving a Juness pep talk lecture. | ||
| Yeah, of course. | ||
| So, here's where it gets really dangerous. | ||
| In 2014, 19.6% of distributors had an income of $0. | ||
| 66% earned under $1,000, an average of $213.92. | ||
| Only 1.1% of all distributors made more than $5,000 on the whole year. | ||
| And when you consider that $85 monthly minimum that you have to buy to keep on board, which is almost $1,000 a year, even that 66% who earned under $1,000 a year are basically breaking even or still losing money. | ||
| And the 19.6% of people who had an income of zero from there are actually... | ||
| Are losing several thousand dollars. | ||
| Most likely. | ||
| You know what's sad? | ||
| That is maybe the exact income structure of stand-up comedy. | ||
| In 2017, they disclosed their commission information from Canada, but other information since 2014 isn't publicly available, which is not a good sign. | ||
| But from Canada in 2017, we find that 83% of distributors made under $1,000, with 36.45% making nothing. | ||
| And again, none of those figures take into account the money that people are spending to get the product. | ||
| Yeah, of course. | ||
| So also, distributors get paid bonuses depending on what they sell their recruits in their first purchase. | ||
| If the new recruit buys the $200 basic package, the distributor gets $25. | ||
| If they buy the $500 supreme package, they get $100. | ||
| If they buy the $1,150 ambassador package, you get $250. | ||
| And if you think about that for a second, you'll realize... | ||
| That you would always want to get your recruits to sign up for the bigger package. | ||
| Makes the most sense. | ||
| And you probably try and sway them to do it, even possibly using manipulative, dishonest practices. | ||
| Because you have an agenda. | ||
| You have a benefit from them buying the package that's the highest. | ||
| You can make much more money. | ||
| Now, obviously, whoever recruited you into becoming a distributor had that exact same agenda. | ||
| Strange. | ||
| And now, Alex does too. | ||
| Unreal. | ||
| Unreal. | ||
| You know, for the longest time, I used to... | ||
| Do you think that his fucking listeners are going to have a better chance than these people who... | ||
| Oh, good God, no. 19.6% make nothing off this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely not. | |
| And just get screwed? | ||
| Or, I mean, the other side of it is you don't become a distributor, and then a lot of these fucking products are over $140 for some sort of, like, skincare cream or something like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| You could get something as good for almost... | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| Comparatively, just go to fucking Walgreens. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Something like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Or even go buy a boutique one for like 40 bucks. | ||
| Save 100. | ||
| Easy. | ||
| Go to town. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is ridiculous. | ||
| It's very disgraceful. | ||
| And I'm... | ||
| Like, I hate Alex Jones. | ||
| I've spent two years of my life talking about how he's an asshole. | ||
| I feel bad. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I feel bad for him now. | ||
| Like, not pity. | ||
| It's not pity. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| It's disgust. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's definitely at least in the neighborhood of disgust. | ||
| Like, I know I've always been disgusted by his racial rhetoric and stuff like that, but in terms of the business stuff, I always were kind of charmed by it. | ||
| Like, he seems like a rapscallion in many ways. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| With his, like, all the ad pivots that we laugh at all the time. | ||
| Like, it's embarrassing, it's desperate, but there's kind of an art to it. | ||
| The grift is an art. | ||
| The pyramid scheme is just... | ||
| It's just a bummer. | ||
| It's like debasing oneself. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And it's subservient in many ways. | ||
| I'm willing to sell out all of my friends and family so that the guy who sold me on this makes more money. | ||
| And then the guy that sold him on that makes more money. | ||
| But at the end of the day, I am giving up everything for way less than I should. | ||
| For Alex, it's not your friends and family. | ||
| It's your audience. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He's not selling this to his wife's Tupperware party friends or whatever. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Which, by the way, we are about to launch our new Knowledge Fight Tupperware line. | ||
| I was going to wait until the end of the episode. | ||
| It's really great. | ||
| What you do is you open up one side of it, you burp it, and then it... | ||
| I don't know how Tupperware works. | ||
| Does it work well? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Is Tupperware good? | ||
| I'm very distracted because half of one of my eyes is going blurry. | ||
| Not sure why that is. | ||
| Not sure if I should be afraid of this. | ||
| Just talking about Tupperware will do that to a lot of people. | ||
| Perhaps. | ||
| We also have a line of makeup. | ||
| You can drive around in a pink Corvette, sell makeup. | ||
| We're going to dismount on this here in a little bit, but before we do, we have two more clips that are just a bummer and disheartening. | ||
| Well, actually, the last one is. | ||
| This one isn't. | ||
| This one is, Alex, revealing a little bit too much and I think raises a bunch of very serious questions. | ||
| My neck is actually 22 inches wide. | ||
| Folks, I've been offered hundreds of millions of dollars just for more. | ||
| To support cryptocurrencies. | ||
| And I get they're real, and I get that they're just like the, you know, our government has a fiat currency. | ||
| I've never taken any sponsorship from it because I can't figure it out, and I can't guarantee there's not a pump and dump like you see cryptocurrencies down 80% this month. | ||
| So I could have financed everything off of cryptocurrencies and literally defeated Soros and the globalists, but I couldn't be sure. | ||
| You are going to get a good product. | ||
| These are highest rated. | ||
| These I know are good. | ||
| So bare minimum, you become a distributor. | ||
| You get discounts. | ||
| You sign up a few family members. | ||
| It pays for what you get each month. | ||
| Then you sign up 100 members and you make a million dollars a year. | ||
| The point is that I feel good at a gut level promoting Jeunesse at InfoWarsYes.com. | ||
| God damn it, that's sad. | ||
| Oh my God, Dan, we can never do... | ||
| We can never do present day again. | ||
| He's a multi-level marketing scheme guy now. | ||
| Andy, that's crazy. | ||
| I don't know if I've ever heard of a pyramid scheme that had a radio... | ||
| You've never heard a radio host who's personally selling Avon. | ||
| I imagine it might have happened, but yeah, I can't think of an example. | ||
| This is bananas. | ||
| It's pretty wild. | ||
| This is a guy who's literally at the lowest he could possibly be. | ||
| Alex in 2009 was not making anywhere near as much. | ||
| No. | ||
| And even that Alex would have been like, for real. | ||
| Pyramid scheme? | ||
| There's got to be a better way. | ||
| You want me to jump into pyramid scheme? | ||
| I'm selling jeans that might be the right size. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| I'm fine with that. | ||
| I'm fine with that. | ||
| Dan, if we sold jeans that could be the right size sometimes, that's better for me than if we were part of a pyramid scheme. | ||
| I think I would probably veto that. | ||
| I know you would. | ||
| I'm talking comparatively. | ||
| This is weird. | ||
| This is actually now both of my eyes. | ||
| I'm very concerned about this. | ||
| No, you've been dead for six weeks. | ||
| I might be going blind. | ||
| No, you are. | ||
| I pray that I'm not, because I don't know how to read Braille. | ||
| Well, maybe next time. | ||
| That would really slow down this podcast. | ||
| That would really screw up our multi-level marketing scheme. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| So I think that you're missing one of the big points in that clip, and that is that Alex has been offered hundreds of millions of dollars to promote cryptocurrencies, which I don't think is true. | ||
| I think he's exaggerating. | ||
| But also, who's offering you that money, Alex? | ||
| Who? | ||
| Don't worry. | ||
| Who's offering you that money, Alex? | ||
| Don't worry about it. | ||
| And he's even recognizing in there that a lot of these are pump and dump schemes. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yes, Alex. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And you know who's running them based on who is trying to get you to promote them. | ||
| Because Alex Jones promoting it would be the pump part of the dump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| The pump that leads to the dump. | ||
| And if Alex were to promote those, he would be the one who would get dumped upon. | ||
| No, his listeners would. | ||
| Well, yeah. | ||
| Because he would be let in on when to sell. | ||
| Do you think he would? | ||
| I think that's why he's more susceptible to the pyramid scheme. | ||
| Maybe he thinks that those people would screw him over in the last minute or something. | ||
| No, it's the weirdest part of this scam, the scam being scammed on the scammer, is that because he doesn't actually understand Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, he wasn't willing to jump in on the ground full of the scam. | ||
| But this scam... | ||
| Is supplements. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's like, this is my scam. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| You're just giving me a new way to scam my scam. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And he doesn't understand that he's the one who's part of the scam now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or he's the one who's being scammed in the scam. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I said scam a lot in a very short period of time. | ||
| Well, it's multi-level scam. | ||
| You know, people are getting it different degrees. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The Jeunesse folks must be, like, jerking off over the fact that they, look, we're... | ||
| This guy's got a warehouse. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, exactly. | ||
| So we have one more clip. | ||
| And in this clip, I agree with you. | ||
| I don't think we can talk about the present day much anymore. | ||
| I think this is going to be too much of a bummer. | ||
| And Alex is just a pathetic shell of a man. | ||
| Between his going back on federal troops at the border, that sort of shit, the just flagrant racism that's throughout this episode. | ||
| This is brutal. | ||
| And then the end reveal of now we're doing multi-level marketing. | ||
| Please sign up, all this stuff. | ||
| I think this next clip really is the... | ||
| The evolution of him as a Pokemon, if you will, into his true form now. | ||
| Into a Venusaur? | ||
| Which is, like, legitimately, this clip represents Alex Jones literally selling his audience to Juness. | ||
| And the way you sell this is to other Trump supporters, people that want the economy to grow, people that are on the bandwagon of Renaissance. | ||
| You say, hey, Alex Jones is a patriot. | ||
| His info is great. | ||
| These are high-rated... | ||
| Cosmetics and high-rated supplements. | ||
| You should get this to support InfoWars and see how great they are and just buy it once. | ||
| And then they're going to be hooked because it's so good. | ||
| Now you're making money. | ||
| The show's making money. | ||
| We're defeating the globalists. | ||
| They're getting good products. | ||
| And then you go, oh, become a distributor under me. | ||
| Well, think about it. | ||
| How many of us right now, you know, like there's a new Apple phone coming out, right? | ||
| There's a new Apple phone coming out. | ||
| Is that what they call the Apple phone? | ||
| It'll be $1,400. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay, so people are going to go out and say, hey, look at my new phone. | ||
| How much are you getting paid? | ||
| Tell folks about the New Deal. | ||
| So, right now, what they have going right now is if you become a preferred customer, you can get up to 25% off the products. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is dumb. | |
| Right? | ||
| You get 25% off of the products if you become a preferred customer. | ||
| If you want to get up to 40% off, then you pay a one-time membership fee, which is $49.95 or something like that. | ||
| And you can get all the products for up to 40% off. | ||
| And that's like Costco. | ||
| You save the money one time. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| But what's great about this is you pay it. | ||
| Costco, you've got to pay every year. | ||
| This is one time. | ||
| You pay this one time. | ||
| Same thing with Sam's, right? | ||
| It's every year. | ||
| Yeah, you pay it every year. | ||
| So most people that are out there, they want the most discount, which is 40% off of these products. | ||
| And again, Walmart does that because they want your commitment. | ||
| They're going to give you the best deal. | ||
| They want you to put a ring on. | ||
| They want the commitment. | ||
| Well, I want your commitment. | ||
| I want to defeat Soros. | ||
| My God, these are great products. | ||
| They're the best out there. | ||
| Keep going. | ||
| Yeah, so if you look at the products, for example, with all of them, every single product on average that you're going to be able to use here, some of them work right away. | ||
| Like, if you look at Instantly Ages for bags underneath the eyes, who in the world wants bags under the eyes, male or female? | ||
| I mean, this works within a couple of minutes, literally. | ||
| In fact, we're going to get Alex, I think, to do it. | ||
| I've just been too busy. | ||
| No, here's the thing. | ||
| I know all this stuff works. | ||
| I've tried it. | ||
| I just need to do it. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Goodbye, Alex. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Goodbye. | ||
| This is heartbreaking. | ||
| That's curtains. | ||
| This is really heartbreaking for me. | ||
| I mean, the way he's selling his audience up the river, basically, like what you have here, like I said already in the episode, his audience is going to fare exactly as well as the average Juness distributor does. | ||
| They're going to fare way worse than that. | ||
| I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say as well, because it's terrible average already. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| You don't have to assume they're going to do worse for it to be bad for them. | ||
| They're gonna blame Alex, and he deserves it, because he just sold them to Juness. | ||
| Well, what he's gonna try and do is get them to blame the globalists for it. | ||
| All he did is transmute all of his audience's attention that he has left. | ||
| Whatever hasn't been chipped away, he just took that and said, Juness, will you buy this? | ||
| Will you buy the credibility that I have left with my audience? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| in order to get them to try and maybe sign up for your thing through a website that is called Infowars. | ||
| Yes, so they'll still think it has the Alex Jones credibility that they believe to it. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I don't know how you can get it back once it goes bad for so many people, because it's going to. | ||
| I don't know what you can do. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I've resisted saying this is the end for Alex so many times, but I can see this going down a direction where he can't recover from that. | ||
| See, now, but this is what I think is fascinating about the multi-level marketing scheme being applied to Alex, is that... | ||
| For the first time, again, I don't know a radio host or Tucker Carlson isn't fucking part of Avon or whatever it is. | ||
| I've never seen this before wherein the blame can be shifted so easily to the fucking globalists or whatever. | ||
| I don't see that. | ||
| I don't see it being possible either, but his listeners are fucking stupid. | ||
| Generally, but I don't think once they start losing the... | ||
| Scant amounts of money that they put into this, I don't see a way that they can't think, hey, Alex, why did you... | ||
| And then they start researching, they start looking into other reviews of the company. | ||
| If you're an Alex Jones listener, you're not researching a goddamn thing. | ||
| Generally not, but if some company... | ||
| You lose a bunch of money and you realize you got caught up in a basically exploitative business relationship. | ||
| I think you might look and see, did this happen to a bunch of other people? | ||
| And then when you see that, yes, it does. | ||
| And Alex has every reason to know the exact same percentages that I read to you that are real, that are from disclosures from Juness themselves. | ||
| Alex has to know that. | ||
| And the fact that he's still trying to get his customers, his listeners, who are customers. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's still trying to get them on board with it means that he's fine with the idea that 80% of them are going to get fucked by this. | ||
| Yeah, but I've never seen a pyramid scheme applied to a cause. | ||
| That's the fascinating thing about this. | ||
| I think there has been. | ||
| No, I'm sure, but it's never like, if you don't buy these knives, then the globalists win. | ||
| Like, I've never heard that sales pitch for a pyramid scheme. | ||
| Like, this is kind of brilliant in a certain way. | ||
| It's not, because that sales pitch is going to work on Alex's audience, and it's not going to work the next step, which is the audience trying to sell it to other people. | ||
| Oh, no, of course not. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| No, it's going to be a disaster for them. | ||
| The audience can't get their friends and family to listen to Alex's show and believe that he's right. | ||
| There's no way they're going to be able to use Alex's rhetoric to sell them products they don't need. | ||
| It's going to be a disaster for them. | ||
| But who gives a shit about them? | ||
| I mean, obviously... | ||
| Eventually it's going... | ||
| Obviously human beings do, but Alex doesn't. | ||
| Eventually there's going to be blowback. | ||
| There's going to eventually be... | ||
| But that's the insulation that Alex has that other pyramid schemes don't have, is that... | ||
| The blowback has to go towards someone else. | ||
| It doesn't go back to Infowars. | ||
| It goes back to the globalists. | ||
| It goes back to the liberals. | ||
| The liberals are the reason that you're not selling enough, Dan. | ||
| I think because of the economic consequences that are going to come to his listeners. | ||
| They're going to treat it differently than the obfuscating that Alex can do in general cases. | ||
| I don't think that he's going to be able to weasel out of this, but who knows? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| The Republicans consistently weasel out of a $2 trillion tax cut for the rich. | ||
| I understand that, and I don't know. | ||
| My predictions are generally off, so who fucking knows? | ||
| Who fucking knows? | ||
| The point is, my eye is really starting to freak me out, so we've got to end this show. | ||
| Because I think I'm going blind. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Anyway, we have a website. | ||
| We do have a website that other people can view, but Dan cannot right now. | ||
| Well, I can for now, but we'll see when I wake up tomorrow. | ||
| This is going on when I wake up tomorrow. | ||
| I don't know what I'm going to do. | ||
| We got some trouble. | ||
| Yeah, but it probably won't be. | ||
| I'll probably sleep at all. | ||
| You're going to be fine. | ||
| But it's fucking really weird right now. | ||
| You've had a lot of caffeine and you just drank a kickstart and all that shit. | ||
| I 100% believe that's what's causing it. | ||
| But it's still fucking with my head. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We also have a Twitter account. | ||
| It's at knowledge underscore fake. | ||
| You go to Facebook! | ||
| Yep, we have a group there called Go Home and Tell Your Mother You're Brilliant. | ||
| That's where you should go. | ||
| It's really great. | ||
| I jump in and out of the group every now and again. | ||
| The most amazing thing to me is whenever somebody just shows up and is like... | ||
| I just found this show, and I'm part of the group now. | ||
| Or people are like, hey, everybody's so nice here. | ||
| It feels good to be a part of it. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And for all of you, I just say that if you sign up for the high membership package, then you don't have to pay the normal fees that most people do to get into the group. | ||
| Or you can just subscribe on iTunes, check us out, leave a review if you like, that sort of thing. | ||
| If you sign up 15 other subscribers. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Then you get a discount on your own podcast. | ||
| I think my eye is getting better. | ||
| It's starting to wear off. | ||
| We're good. | ||
| Oh my god! | ||
| I've been blind my entire fucking life. | ||
| I've been wearing contacts since I was six years old. | ||
| I've been goddamn blind. | ||
| Screw you for having a little bit of blurry vision. | ||
| If I take my contacts out, I can't walk down the street, Dan! | ||
| You don't know what this was. | ||
| It looked like a dragon in the corner of my eye. | ||
| It was very terrifying. | ||
| I didn't want to talk about it while it was still there. | ||
| That's some Eddie Page shit right there. | ||
| I didn't want to talk about it while it was still there. | ||

Oh, that red dragon is coming around. | |
| Wait, it's back? | ||
| Red Dragon? | ||
| No. | ||
| Sort of. | ||
| This is really troubling. | ||
| I shouldn't have brought it up. | ||
| Dude, you just have floaters. | ||
| Yeah, I know, but it's more severe than generally. | ||
| And it was sort of getting worse. | ||
| That was really freaky. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| We need to talk more about this. | ||
| But yeah, leave a review on iTunes. | ||
| Check us out on Facebook, on Twitter. | ||
| Yeah, do it! | ||
| But, Alex... | ||
| Is there something important we should know about this pyramid scheme loving motherfucker? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I almost feel like this is worse. | |
| But... | ||
| Something else that he's done that might not be as bad as selling out his audience is Alex probably killed a dude. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||
