Today, Dan and Jordan discuss how Alex Jones and Co. are dealing with the results of the 2018 midterm elections. In a shocking turn of events, Ted Nugent accurately assesses that his worldview is unpopular, Alex desperately tries to move product, and Roger Stone swings for the white nationalist fences.

Hello, Alex. | |
| I'm a first-time caller. | ||
| 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 Alex Jones. | ||
| Indeed we are. | ||

|
Dan! | |
| Jordan. | ||
| Dan, when was the last time you went to the sea? | ||
| Went to the sea. | ||
| Does Lake Michigan count? | ||
| No, it's a lake. | ||
| It's not a sea. | ||
| I feel like, no, visiting my parents down in Austin didn't go down to the bay. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's been forever. | ||
| I bet you probably went to a sea in Greece. | ||
| Yeah, definitely. | ||
| 2007? | ||
| Yeah, you went to the Mediterranean, right? | ||
| 11 years ago I went to a sea. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, that's a good length of time to go to a sea. | ||
| During Matt Riggs' bachelor party when we stayed at a cabin, I went to the lake, and that was great. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I like swimming a lot. | ||
| I belong in the water. | ||
| Fresh water is not the same. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| It's not the same. | ||
| Why do you ask? | ||
| Have you been yearning for the sea? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Actually, I just thought about it and I was like, I don't even know if I've ever been to a sea. | ||
| I mean, I used to live in Hawaii and used to swim in the ocean all the time then. | ||
| Yeah, but that's an ocean. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's the sea. | ||
| I'm defining the sea. | ||
| Oh, you're saying just a sea. | ||
| Because I've been to the ocean. | ||
| I've been to the lake. | ||
| And then I couldn't remember if I've ever been to the sea. | ||
| Let's get you to the Dead Sea. | ||
| I loved the Dead Sea. | ||
| Get you to the Salt Lake. | ||
| No, that's a Salt Lake. | ||
| Never mind. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| Isn't the Salt Lake a sea? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Does that count? | ||
| Have you seen the movie The Salton Sea? | ||
| I have not seen the movie The Salton Sea. | ||
| Let's start there. | ||
| I saw the movie SLC Punk. | ||
| Does that count? | ||
| It does. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, hey, guys, this is a show where I know a lot about swimming in the sea and Alex Jones. | ||
| And I don't know anything about either, apparently. | ||
| Guys, sorry about the delay on this episode. | ||
| I have been a bit under the weather. | ||
| I'd like to thank everybody for their well wishes on Twitter. | ||
| That was very nice, so people to wish me health. | ||
| I'm feeling a bit better now, and we're on the other side of the midterms, which definitely makes things... | ||
| You know, it feels better. | ||
| It's like a fever broke, kind of, a little bit. | ||
| I made the point is that it'd be weird to do an episode that would immediately be almost meaningless, you know? | ||
| Because, like, the world changed. | ||
| It would be slightly... | ||
| Well, it didn't change. | ||
| Not really. | ||
| It would be slightly meaningless on one hand, because we could predict exactly what... | ||
| No matter what happens, if the Republicans win everything, Alex will say, they tried to cheat and we won anyway. | ||
| And if Democrats take control of anything, they'll be like, oh, they cheated. | ||
| That is going to be the narrative no matter what. | ||
| Yeah, but that was a disaster. | ||
| That election was a disaster. | ||
| We'll talk about that as we go along. | ||
| And I disagree with you to some extent because I think there's flickers of great hope in terms of voting measures that passed throughout the country. | ||
| The lifting of the rent control ban here in Chicago is very good. | ||
| There are a couple candidates who made it that are very bright signs. | ||
| The homelessness tax in San Francisco. | ||
| That's wonderful. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So there are positive things if you don't look at the big picture of, you know, the big changes that we may need aren't going to necessarily happen. | ||
| Oh, they're not at all. | ||
| But we'll get into this as this goes along. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think that it was the right thing to do to not do an episode on Wednesday and do one here on Thursday because especially we knew that Alex Jones' show would be the same. | ||
| Before the midterms, but likely quite different after. | ||
| And so I'm glad that today we're going over the November 7th, 2018 episode, which is the day after the midterms. | ||
| But before we get into that, I'd like to say thank you to someone who has donated to the show before and then bumped it up a little bit. | ||
| So we're very excited about this. | ||
| And thank you so much, Destiny. | ||
| You are now a technocrat. | ||

|
Hell yeah. | |
| That is what makes the show possible. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| We do not have any advertisers or dark money behind us. | ||
| None at all. | ||
| But it takes... | ||
| We're offering. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| If you want in on this, we'll take it. | ||
| We're buyable. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, I'm cheap as shit. | ||
| So we start today, and I told you right before we started recording something that I was feeling, and that is that I think that this is now a show, the Alex Jones show, at least on November 7th here, the brief window that we have after the midterms. | ||
| This is now a show I can kind of get down on. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because I think that Alex Jones gets it. | ||
| I think he understands what happened in the midterms. | ||
| Maybe more than he would like to reveal. | ||
| All right. | ||
| And I think in this first clip... | ||
| Because I don't think anybody actually understands what happened to the midterms. | ||
| I think a lot of people have a lot of little pieces, but as far as a full synthesis, maybe not so much. | ||
| But in this first clip, I think we see some little glimmers of Alex being aware of his position now. | ||
| This is the big takeaway. | ||
| For me. | ||
| Two things. | ||
| Allowing illegal cartel-level concerted racketeering censorship in the last year accelerating to the election, and the House not passing voter ID, as Michael Savage said in a tweet, the RINOs blew their last chance. | ||
| Because illegal aliens and folks voting the names of dead people took it over the edge, along with the censorship. | ||
| And now if we don't do something about the censorship, it's going to embolden even more censorship and deplatforming and harassment that's criminal. | ||
| So now if Trump and the Republicans don't act decisively, they are aiding and abetting him. | ||
| The president said he's about to act, and I trust the president, but I'm just saying, this is a big deal. | ||
| And, you know, the fact that Ted Cruz only won by like three points in Texas is horrifying. | ||
| So I think that you see a little bit of fear in Alex's part because the results, especially in Texas, were not what he was expecting. | ||
| I think that he probably thought Beto would do better than a normal Democratic candidate. | ||
| Which means losing by seven points. | ||
| Right, or ten. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, exactly. | ||
| But to see him make it very competitive and win in places that it did not look like he was going to win, I think that Alex took that to be like, oh, fuck. | ||
| Even Texas is changing on me. | ||
| And I think Alex is also keenly aware, although he wouldn't want to talk about this, of the down-ballot candidates that Beto helped push over the line. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because of the enthusiasm that he brought to the election, the fact that more people were coming out led to more Democratic down-ballot candidates being able to... | |
| I think Alex has this position where he's like, I'm afraid. | ||
| But, as we would have predicted, his narrative about it is... | ||
| We need voter ID. | ||
| We should have had more voter suppression. | ||
| What is it with people? | ||
| What do black people really need to vote for? | ||
| You know? | ||
| Why do they really need to vote? | ||
| We need voter ID. | ||
| Here are the takeaways. | ||
| I need to be back on Facebook and we need voter ID. | ||
| Yeah, that sounds right. | ||
| Yeah, that sounds about right for him. | ||
| Depth analysis. | ||
| Well, one thing I do like is he's back to... | ||
| Opposition towards the government, not just the Democrats and the globalists. | ||
| He's back to... | ||
| The Republicans are aiding and abetting the death of, or whatever it is. | ||
| He has a little bit of an ability to pivot back to familiar territory, and the position he plays well from. | ||
| He was a center being asked to play point guard for a little bit, and now he can be like, alright, I can get back in the paint. | ||
| Yeah, he's no Anthony Davis. | ||
| No, so he now has... | ||
| Or Janice Antetokounmpo. | ||
| Say that six times fast. | ||
| He's Greek! | ||
| You should love that! | ||
| I say F Caristo to him. | ||
| So I think that we are going to see at least a more familiar Alex, and an Alex that isn't so... | ||
| I don't know if playing out of his depth is the right way to put it, but there's been a real ugliness to his show lately because he doesn't have anything other than defend Trump against everything. | ||
| And now with the idea of a democratic house, he can... | ||
| There's a reason why Trump isn't doing the things that he wants him to do. | ||
| Whereas before, he had to come up with the stupidest explanations. | ||
| And now he can be like, all these Democrats in the House. | ||
| Now, at the same time, I think that having that specific thing to complain about could lend itself to more extremism. | ||
| Oh yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Which is a downside. | ||
| Not a doubt in my mind. | ||
| But in terms of this show, I think it'll become much more tolerable to listen to. | ||
| Yeah, at the end of the day, at least our show is better. | ||
| At least for me listening to this show, I will say this one episode. | ||
| The midterms was a success. | ||
| So in this next clip, Alex talks about how he likes to give people fake names. | ||
| Every candidate establishment got behind the Democrats, lost. | ||
| Whether it was a beta man here in Texas or whether it was Gilligan from Gilligan's Moron Island. | ||
| That would be a good show. | ||
| I'm calling Florida Moron Island. | ||
| I'm saying he's from Moron Island. | ||
| I know his name's not Gilligan. | ||
| I like to butcher their names. | ||
| These people have been destroyed. | ||
| So, he likes to butcher people's names, and that's all good fun. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I do love the patheticness of him being like, he's Gilligan from Moron Island. | ||
| Now I'm not calling Florida Moron Island. | ||
| I mean, I am. | ||
| I believe absolutely it's Moron Island. | ||
| It's very weird. | ||
| It's very weird, the needing to be like, now Florida, don't leave me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Come on, old white supremacists. | ||
| We still need to stick around. | ||
| Yeah, we need you. | ||
| So, like I'm saying, and I'm tipping my hand a little bit in terms of, like, I know what's coming a little bit in Alex's mood. | ||
| I think in this next clip, you can see that Alex, though he would like it to be, or at least previous to the midterms, he was saying that it was going to be a massive red wave and the Republicans were going to take everything and all that. | ||
| I think in this next clip we see a very clear indication that given the results, Alex does recognize what this means for Trump. | ||
| And he's a little worried about it. | ||
| And then he still wants to talk more about illegal voting. | ||
| And it's a pretty big win for them there. | ||
| Some GOP are trying to spit it that Obama lost 60 plus in the House and a whole bunch of senators. | ||
| Well, yes, that's great. | ||
| That's a bigger defeat. | ||
| This could have been a lot worse. | ||
| But the fact that Trump has had his legs cut out from under him. | ||
| With all the internet censorship is a big deal. | ||
| Joining us is Ted Nugent to give us his aftermath take. | ||
| He privately told me that he was putting a good face on it, but he had a bad feeling. | ||
| So did I. But again, I think the illegals and folks voting in dead people's names, which is confirmed everywhere, in many places pushed him over the top. | ||
| So, he's saying that, like, without this illegal voting, we would have won. | ||
| We would have won if it weren't for all the illegals voting. | ||
| And now here's Ted Nugent with some expert analysis. | ||
| The worst sentence I think I've ever heard is, we're gonna have Ted Nugent to give his analysis. | ||
| Yeah, that's not good. | ||
| That is not good. | ||
| What? | ||
| Unless he's coming to bring me hot licks. | ||
| I'm still not interested in that. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Yeah, so that's not great. | ||
| But I think that Alex there is saying a lot of these GOP people will try and say that in the past there have been much larger swings. | ||
| And that may be true, but that doesn't mean that this still wasn't a loss. | ||
| And a little bit of that I think Alex has to recognize. | ||
| And a little bit later, Roger Stone is on the show, and I think he has to recognize. | ||
| That now that the House is controlled by Democrats, they have the ability to subpoena people. | ||
| And so Roger Stone is probably going to get subpoenaed real soon. | ||
| And there's all sorts of other investigations that they could gum up the works with. | ||
| You would hope that they would use that power judiciously and actually go after real things that should be investigated. | ||
| But, I mean, they could basically turn this next two years into a procession of... | ||
| Well, I mean... | ||
| Terrible investigations. | ||
| I mean, in all honesty, Trump turned the next two years into a procession of investigations by doing all the crimes. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| You know, it's not like he's on the up-and-up and they're doing spurious investigations. | ||
| This isn't Benghazi. | ||
| Yeah, even the most ridiculous investigation they could do... | ||
| It probably has a crime behind it. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| There's a whole world in front of them. | ||
| It's like unlocking a new level in an open world game. | ||
| It's like all sorts of places, new mission chains. | ||
| Oh, you can go anywhere. | ||
| Yeah, it's very exciting. | ||
| But I think Alex recognizes that on one level. | ||
| And then bigger picture than that, I think Alex knows strategically that in order for Trump to be the thing that galvanizes people, to be the person that he tries to make Trump appear to be, he needs just a rubber stamp through Congress because his positions are unpopular. | ||
| And so without the Republicans controlling both houses and being able to push things through, He's going to be like, I want to deport all, I don't know, Lebanese. | ||
| Deport them all! | ||
| Deport all the Lebanese. | ||
| He does not even know what Lebanese means. | ||
| He doesn't know Lebanon is a place. | ||
| It was just a random pull on my part. | ||
| But then the House will be like, nope, not going to happen. | ||
| Not going to go anywhere. | ||
| He can try and encourage legislation that's really regressive to go through, and it'll just die in the House. | ||
| I wish that were true. | ||
| I think it will with real serious issues. | ||
| Maybe not... | ||
| Look, we're assuming a lot in terms of having some faith in Democrats to not roll over. | ||
| They needed to get at least 45 to 60 seats in order to... | ||
| Keep Pelosi from being the Speaker of the House, and that's not going to happen. | ||
| She's going to stay Speaker of the House, and the whole time we're going to pass Republican light versions. | ||
| It's possible. | ||
| It's going to be a disaster. | ||
| As we're recording this right now, let's hope that's not the case, but that is possible. | ||
| Even if it is that, I still think that you wouldn't be able to do as much as you could with a Republican-controlled entirety of Congress. | ||
| So, I think that there's that. | ||
| And I think that Alex recognizes that as there's diminishing returns in actual things that he's getting done... | ||
| The veneer of this, like, super powerful, I-can-fix-everything guy is gonna go away. | ||
| And when that veneer goes away, being his propagandist becomes much more difficult. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Because you have to then, like, you don't have a hero to worship, you have just an inefficient bureaucrat. | ||
| And I don't think that that's going to be something he wants to do. | ||
| See, now, I'm looking forward to all of the executive orders that Trump is going to sign that are patently illegal. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| They are gonna... | ||
| There's going to be non-stop executive orders that even the Supreme Court is going to be like, come on, man! | ||
| We want to do evil things, and you're dumb! | ||
| In my new executive order, I get free food for life. | ||
| I own three McDonald's now. | ||
| Sure, okay. | ||
| At least offensive thing possible. | ||
| So, we got Ted Nugent coming in with his analysis. | ||
| Why? | ||
| I'll say this. | ||
| Most of their interview seems to boil down to, Alex is mad at Texas. | ||
| And the Motor City Madman is real pissed off at Michigan. | ||
| The two of them are just really mad at their home states. | ||
| At their hometowns. | ||
| Because they're swinging left. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so they're like, this is not what I sang about. | ||
| And Alex, this is not what I screamed about. | ||
| And actually, I think Ted Nugent says something really insightful here. | ||
| I'm an eternal, maniacal optimist. | ||
| I believe in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence. | ||
| I believe in the Ten Commandments of the Golden Rule. | ||
| I believe in loving your neighbor and helping your family and neighbor and being in the asset column and making sacrifices and taking risks so that you are a productive member of your community so that you can help. | ||
| help others when they need it. | ||
| And I know these people. | ||
| I know they're everywhere. | ||
| But guess what? | ||
| We're outnumbered. | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The people who believe that we should turn Michigan into a San Francisco feces and needle zone outnumber conscientious people. | |
| Conscientious, positive, constitutional, free Michiganiacs. | ||
| I'm helpless. | ||
| So, I mean, his characterization of the two sides is wrong, but I think he's starting to recognize that, uh-oh, the thing that I like is not the most popular thing. | ||
| Ooh, not at all. | ||
| And I think that's a step in the right direction. | ||
| I mean, granted, he goes on to say that, like, in response to that, I'm going to fight even harder. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Which is within his right to do. | ||
| He believes in the Constitution and the Ten Commandments, which is why he said we should kill Hillary. | ||
| You know, in accordance with the Constitution and the Ten Commandments. | ||
| Two things that both... | ||
| I mean, strongly advocate murdering political opponents. | ||
| Right, right, absolutely. | ||
| And God, I know one thing about him. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He was super into, like, stage displays of, like, high-power weaponry where you're threatening elected figures. | ||
| See, now, actually, he was. | ||
| In the Old Testament. | ||
| Yeah, like, super. | ||
| Remember Elisha setting that piece of wood on fire and then they killed all of the priests who didn't? | ||
| And then everybody did some fucking sweet solos. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they did some cat scratch. | |
| God scratch fever. | ||
| Burning some wood with some God. | ||
| God's got the devil in a stranglehold. | ||
| So, in this next clip, because he's talking to Ted Nugent and they both love guns, Alex accidentally says that you should shoot liberals. | ||
| Yeah, of course. | ||
| We need more people to do what you're doing, what I've done, what Trump is doing is get really aggressive and not let these people push us around and understand that they're like cancer and have to be dealt with and do outreach, try to take leftists out and deprogram them, try to take them shooting, try to take them camping. | ||
| Try to take them shooting! | ||
| Shoot him! | ||
| Try to take him, shoot him! | ||
| I know he's trying to say shooting, but he does slip up and say take him, shoot him. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Yep, that's... | ||
| Why do you guys still do it? | ||
| Right-wing conservatives have murdered a lot of people recently due to shit you say, and you're still saying it. | ||
| It's interesting that you see that Freudian slip in his brain, because I know, and if we were a show like his, we would be like, he literally said that you should shoot liberals. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And you would keep that clip, and you would play it, and you would do, oh, yeah, do you remember when Alex Jones said we should shoot them? | ||
| I would cut out the part where he says outreach, so it just says they're a cancer, they need to be dealt with, take them out, shoot them. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| I would do something like that, but we're fucking adults and we understand he fucking had a slip of the tongue because that's kind of what he's thinking. | ||
| That's kind of what he was saying! | ||
| Yeah, that's kind of what he believes, but the idea of having an outreach thing where you teach people that guns aren't that scary, the outdoors is nice, sure. | ||
| I don't know if that's going to get people to be weirdo patriots, but sure. | ||
| I also think that's a terrible idea considering where the country is going to give what is ostensibly the enemy. | ||
| You believe you should kill training in weapons. | ||
| Well, and, like, the times that I've heard Alex talk about going out with people who don't like guns and going shooting, it sounds like a dangerous affair. | ||
| You keep talking about, like, those explosives that you shoot, and, like, one of them exploded a cinder block and it hit him in the head. | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| He shoots explosives? | ||
| We talked about this a long time ago. | ||
| I know, but I mean... | ||
| It was with the cast of Silicon Valley. | ||
| Oh, that's right! | ||
| That's right! | ||
| That's right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Now I remember. | ||
| Where he got hit in the head with a cinder block. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| He's like, there was a good time. | ||
| Mike Judge was laughing. | ||
| We need him to go out shooting with more casts. | ||
| Perhaps we'll get hit with a larger piece of a cinder block. | ||
| So, in the country right now, we're dealing with some pretty serious radicalization of the right, obviously. | ||
| We see it all around us. | ||
| We see it manifest through murders, bomb scares, all sorts of fun news cycles. | ||
| Yeah, you know, good days. | ||
| And in this next clip, Alex has an interesting take on that phenomenon. | ||
| And if you want to have a political and economic fight, you're going to get one. | ||
| This is a war. | ||
| And they're organized to take us over. | ||
| And you get it. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| They used to call us extreme. | ||
| They don't anymore because they say the Republicans are radicalizing. | ||
| It's because the left is radical. | ||
| We were never radical. | ||
| Freedom is radical compared to tyranny. | ||
| But they're coming after us. | ||
| We don't have a choice. | ||
| They made me do it. | ||
| It's the same stupid argument as, like, I'm only racist because you kept calling me racist. | ||
| What did you expect to happen? | ||
| I'm only radical because you're radical and you made me do it. | ||
| It had to happen. | ||
| It had to happen. | ||
| It definitely wasn't there before. | ||
| It wasn't a phenomenon that's been going on in this country in waves for the last... | ||
| No. | ||
| Forever? | ||
| You know what? | ||
| It was our fault for radicalizing the Oath Keepers. | ||
| If we had never elected a black president, they would never have felt the need to go out and murder people, Dan. | ||
| I honestly think in private company, Alex might agree with that. | ||
| Oh, I think so. | ||
| I think so, too. | ||
| I think he might, as long as there wasn't a bugged room, might say that. | ||
| So now, I believe that in terms of conservatism... | ||
| One of their best arguments that they have is the belief in self-determination. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I believe that when you say... | ||
| You believe that everybody has the right to choose how to live their life. | ||
| I think that you're on a good rock to stand on. | ||
| The part where you then legislate those rights to choose... | ||
| That's where your bullshit kind of shines through. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I agree with you there, but I'm just talking philosophically. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I think that that is a good starting block, and it's pretty tough to undermine the idea of just saying, I believe that people have the right to live their life how they see fit. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I think that's true. | ||
| Now, interestingly, Ted Nugent starts talking about his belief in self-determination, and it weaves very quickly into determining how other people live. | ||
| These people are coming to conquer you. | ||
| You better start getting in their damn faces. | ||
| Yeah, bottom line is, if you believe enough in the American dream and you choose your own path in life and you do the best that you can do, if you believe in that, you can't just do it. | ||
| unto yourself. | ||
| You have to demand that from everyone around you. | ||
| I mean, you see slovenly behavior, when you see liberal denial and and fake news, and political correct scourge, when you see it, you can't just walk away and shrug your shoulders and go, oh well, nothing I can do. | ||
| Well, there is something you can do. | ||
| We need to be firm. | ||
| So, that That smacks of, like... | ||
| Everybody should have the right to choose, but when you see people choosing wrong, you gotta choose for them, Dan! | ||
| Duh! | ||
| That makes perfect sense! | ||
| Everyone should have the right to determine their actions as long as they're determining them the way that I want them to! | ||
| That makes perfect sense! | ||
| Yep, as long as you agree with me, you have self-determination. | ||
| That's a conservative principle. | ||
| That's a bedrock of their lives. | ||
| I think so, and I think that that's why you had that... | ||
| Blowback to me saying, like, that's a reasonable belief. | ||
| Of course, because in practice, it's always that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's always that. | ||
| So anyway, Ted Nugent sucks, and we don't need to listen to more of him. | ||
| But Alex gets back to his takeaway from the midterms, and here's where he's at. | ||
| But I know for a fact that going back to the turn of the last century, 118 years, that no one has ever had losses this low. | ||
| So that is a big win, but it still shows us how powerful the enemy is. | ||
| So, I think that that is actually probably a sensible approach to this. | ||
| I mean, it's a little bit still shining a shit a little bit, but the idea of saying that, like, yeah, we lost, but it wasn't that bad, that's probably a bright side. | ||
| You know, that's like, this is an optimistic Alex that's come into studio today. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I'm okay with that. | ||
| I just, see, that's the thing. | ||
| I don't understand where these guys are coming from. | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| They won. | ||
| Ultimately, that's what they did. | ||
| White supremacy was really what was on the ballot. | ||
| And you saw such a high voter turnout from both spectrums. | ||
| And white supremacy won. | ||
| White supremacy won. | ||
| And that gives them the power to... | ||
| I don't think that that's accurate. | ||
| I don't think it is. | ||
| I think that there were areas where certainly you could make that case. | ||
| But I don't think as a whole... | ||
| That case is accurate. | ||
| I think that what we would have loved to see is a condemnation of so many things. | ||
| And in a perfect world, there would have been no Republicans winning anything. | ||
| You would have thought. | ||
| Right, but that's an unrealistic expectation to have. | ||
| And I think that when you sit down and you look at the incremental progress that you do see, so many women getting elected to offices, first gay governor, those sorts of things are important. | ||
| Bits of progress. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| So to say that it was a big win for the right or white supremacy, I don't think that that's accurate, but it wasn't as much of a win for non-white supremacy as we would have wanted it to be. | ||
| As it needed to be. | ||
| Right, so I think that you and me are kind of in the same place as Alex, where he's like... | ||
| The loss could have been way worse, and we are saying that the win should have been much bigger. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So we're both sort of in that in-between stay. | ||
| No one's getting exactly what they want, but there's little things that both sides can say are like, well, there's that. | ||
| There's that. | ||
| And we still have to see how everything plays out. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because there's a lot of, as we're recording this here on Wednesday, there's still a lot of races that haven't been decided yet. | ||
| There's still things blah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Blah. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I mean, I don't... | ||
| I'm a pessimistic guy, as maybe somebody could have guessed. | ||
| But I don't see how this doesn't further expand the ability to have a minority rule. | ||
| And the minority is white supremacists. | ||
| But they have cheated. | ||
| They have cheated. | ||
| They have twisted. | ||
| They've gerrymandered. | ||
| They've done all of this stuff to make sure that white supremacy remains in power as opposed to, you know, and then we have an ineffective Democratic Party that's going to be like, hey, hey, white supremacy is bad. | ||
| We're going to do some white nationalism, but not supremacy. | ||
| That's terrible. | ||
| But there were measures that passed about voter re-enfranchisement. | ||
| There were measures that passed in terms of getting rid of redistricting that really hurt voter turnout and enacted voter suppression. | ||
| So there is progress on that front, even if it's not... | ||
| Like, you want to just shake everything like an Etch-A-Sketch and we can't. | ||
| No, of course not. | ||
| You want to do that, but that would require exactly what we're against. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, I get what you're saying, and I think it's fine to be pessimistic, but I also think... | ||
| I don't know what I think. | ||
| I, you know, there's hope. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| There's hope. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| I just think there's not enough time for the incremental change. | ||
| I think we're fucked. | ||
| Maybe, but... | ||
| Maybe not. | ||
| That's possible. | ||
| It's possible. | ||
| I wish I could share in your, like, we can see how it plays out. | ||
| See how it plays out. | ||
| I'm not super optimistic, but I am, like, we'll see. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Tentative. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| Which is what Dave Chappelle said on SNL whenever Trump got elected. | ||
| You compare me to Dave Chappelle? | ||
| I think you're great. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I think you're one of the greatest comedians alive. | ||
| I think that Alex Jones is one of the greatest comedians ever. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Do we have a bit? | ||
| Not really. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| But he starts, in his next clip, he starts getting into some of his fears about the globalists. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it gets into trans-dimensional aliens, which I haven't heard in a while, which is kind of nice. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| Especially the day after midterms come along, he's getting into a weird headspace. | ||
| So here's what he has to say about Silicon Valley. | ||
| And people keep asking, how do I know this whole plant? | ||
| Because I know the Fabian Socialist plant. | ||
| Ah, they want you to use emojis. | ||
| They've only promoted theoreticians and writers and thinkers that were taking them along the line of the world they wanted, a post-human world, because their God is going to give them life extension and give them power, but at a certain point, they have to give their body up and be uploaded into this larger consciousness that will then move on to the next planet. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're probably saying I read that in childhood's end. | |
| Of course. | ||
| Former head of the British Illuminati Republic. | ||
| wrote childhoods in he also wrote 2001 space odyssey in that entire luciferian trilogy okay you might want to figure out what they're planning for you and your family because they believe an off-world entity known as lucifer okay He's off-world? | ||
| It's going to give them the blueprints on how to take over. | ||
| They've just got to kill themselves and their families once they get to the point and basically put on the black Nike tennis shoes, the black outfits, drink the vodka and barbecues. | ||
| That's not even what the Heaven's Gate cult did! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Now you know why they have sub-cults that learn about what Silicon Valley's really into, take it too far, actually believe that it's coming in this generation, and then decide they want to onboard the spacecraft immediately. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But, of course, the whole thing is a giant satanic con game. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| If you want to know what they're doing at Silicon Valley, they're taking LSD and mushrooms almost every day, microdusing. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And believe they're in communication with demon creatures that are giving them control of the future. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Of course, I told you this 20-something years ago. | ||
| No, you fucking didn't. | ||
| If our head of the Illuminati, who's laid out this whole plan, wrote 2001 A Space Odyssey, shouldn't our god be a space baby and not Lucifer? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know what to do with that. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I don't care about that stuff. | ||
| I don't care at all. | ||
| You don't care about space babies? | ||
| Not really. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I just think this is so stupid. | ||
| The idea that he's saying that Heaven's Gate was a sub-cult that figured out what the Silicon Valley people believe and then took it too far. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Anybody who knows anything about Heaven's Gate knows that that is not a fair assessment of what they were up to. | ||
| And they did not. | ||
| I didn't wear black at all. | ||
| I believe it was white shoes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anyway, Alex is stupid. | ||
| But it's fun for him to get back to some of that stuff. | ||
| It's fun for him to be like, I've been saying this for 20 years. | ||
| No, you fucking haven't. | ||
| In this next clip, Alex uses a term that I think is probably not cool to say, I think. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And then he discusses what kind of accents he likes to hear out of people. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I mean, just the condescension. | ||
| I saw another one where they... | ||
| Put a French name on it. | ||
| They put a Kunas name on it. | ||
| I forget which one it was. | ||
| What? | ||
| He's talking about, like, you saw a meme of Beto is going to run for Louisiana. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| So they're going to put a Kunas name on it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| It's like when Hillary Clinton went to Kentucky, and then she talked like, get to be here with you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm really glad to be in Kentucky. | |
| I'm going to have me some... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Possum pot pies, some other good taste, please. | |
| I think that's offensive, too. | ||
| She was out in California. | ||
| She was like, hello, Latinos. | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| How are you? | ||
| What's that supposed to be? | ||
| The only person I saw that's that bad, being condescending like that, is I would be insulted if somebody from... | ||
| If Donald Trump came to my house, or came to see me, or I was talking to Donald Trump on the phone, and because I'm from Texas, he went, oh, this is Yosemite, Sam, Alex. | ||
| How are you doing there, boy? | ||
| I'd say, what type of weirdo are you? | ||
| What type of weirdo are you? | ||
| There's horrible New York accents, but I like Trump's New York accent. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| It's the real Donald Trump. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right, man. | ||
| Calm down. | ||
| I'm not sure if it's okay to use that term he used at the beginning. | ||
| Did he say coon ass? | ||
| Twice. | ||
| He said they're going to give them a coon ass name. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That is racist as shit! | ||
| I'm on the fence about it exactly because the etymology of the term, it's a term for a person of Cajun ethnicity. | ||
| There are people who have looked at the etymology of it, and it's difficult to tell if it's an offensive term or not. | ||
| It seems like it is. | ||
| I know that in the... | ||
| I'm reading from Wikipedia here. | ||
| In the early 1980s, a Cajun worker sued his former employee over repeated use of the word coonass in the workplace. | ||
| The lawsuit led directly to the federal government's recognition of the Cajuns as a national ethnic group, as protected by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. | ||
| So, it does appear that it's probably a term that could be used offensively. | ||
| Wait, wait. | ||
| Is coonass different from coon? | ||
| It appears that it is, yes. | ||
| There's debate. | ||
| That's strange. | ||
| That's strange. | ||
| I don't understand that at all. | ||
| There's debate, because some people believe that it does come from the slur for African Americans, which is possible, but then one other etymology says that it comes from the French word canoe, which is a vulgar term for the vulva. | ||
| Which I'm not sure if that's accurate. | ||
| Okay! | ||
| There's also a French word, connasse, which they think it could come from, which loosely translates to dirty prostitute. | ||
| Alright, so no matter what, it comes from an offensive term. | ||
| But it appears, from everything I can tell, that it's a term that has been reclaimed a little bit by folks of Cajun descent. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But still, I don't like Alex using it. | ||
| So it's one word. | ||
| It's not coon. | ||
| Space. | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ass. | |
| One word. | ||
| See, because I hear that as really offensive. | ||
| Two words. | ||
| I hear that as crazy offensive. | ||
| Two words. | ||
| Unacceptable. | ||
| That is insanely offensive! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's the worst adjective I can think of! | ||
| I wanted to come here and tell you, like, I've looked into this, and I can tell you without a doubt that Alex is flippantly using a horrible slur. | ||
| But I don't think it's as cut and dry as that. | ||
| My assessment on it is, shouldn't be using that word. | ||
| No. | ||
| But it appears that he might be able to wiggle out of this as being, that's not a racist term. | ||
| I have family who are Cajun. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, I don't know. | |
| See, I legitimately wanted to, like... | ||
| I was almost like, should I not even say what he said because it's so offensive? | ||
| It feels that way. | ||
| Some of that might be because it's Alex saying it. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Some of it might be packaged with that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| There is a slight difference between saying, oh, that man is a Jew and that man's a Jew. | ||
| His tone of voice is the hard J. And the person who's saying it. | ||
| You have to unpack that. | ||
| I'm going to skip this next clip because it's just Alex again repeating that everything was rigged against the right and they still managed to win but not really win. | ||
| They barely lost, which is a win, because everything was stacked up against them, illegal voting all over the place. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| And so we get to this Alex going out to break with a pronouncement that... | ||
| It's not surprising to hear him say this, but I'm shocked he said it out loud. | ||
| If you don't promote the videos, if you don't promote the articles, nobody will. | ||
| By the way, you've been doing it, so despite the censorship... | ||
| We're still growing in the enemy's face. | ||
| There are only other options to set me up or kill me, but hey, let's make them do it. | ||
| I want to go in, through, and beyond. | ||
| I want to go in, through, and beyond? | ||
| Right. | ||
| That sounds a little sexy. | ||
| A little bit, yeah. | ||
| I know that he is like... | ||
| Probably feeling overdue for his own martyrdom. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And this idea of expressing it on air, I want to make them kill me! | ||
| Come on, guys! | ||
| Wouldn't that be great? | ||
| Yeah, it is disappointing to just, like, lose your audience as opposed to getting murdered, you know? | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Like, that's the outcome you want instead of fading into obscurity. | ||
| All my heroes died in mysterious circumstances that I've been able to lie about and say they were murdered. | ||
| Why can't I do that, too? | ||
| What he needs to do is fake his own death and then come back like ten years later and do a whole show on it, but pretend he's a ghost. | ||
| Or pretend he's Bill Hicks. | ||
| That would be a great show. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I would listen to that. | ||
| So, in this next clip, we find out a politician not from America that Alex Jones is apparently in favor of. | ||
| Not surprising at all. | ||
| We saw this with Faith Goldie. | ||
| Wouldn't take her ads on TV. | ||
| Wouldn't take them on radio. | ||
| Wouldn't take them in print because she was number three in the polls in Toronto. | ||
| Most analysts said she would have won. | ||
| She had the money. | ||
| She's young, smart, good-looking, if they would have let her advertise. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Well, here's the problem. | ||
| Faith Goldie, as you may know, she used to work for Rebel Media, which was the former employer of Tommy Robinson, Gavin McGinnis, and Lauren Southern. | ||
| Great organization. | ||
| Great roster. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| She was fired from Rebel Media after she appeared on a podcast hosted by the Daily Stormer to discuss the Charlottesville rally, which they said was a little bit too much. | ||
| A little too far. | ||
| If Rebel Media is like, dude, we agree, but you can't be out there. | ||
| You're going a little bit too far. | ||
| And then in December 2017, she appeared on the podcast Millennial Woes and recited the 14 words that are the slogan of white supremacy and responded to those words saying, quote, I don't see that as controversial. | ||
| I want to survive. | ||
| So, not too surprising that Alex is real into Faith Goldie. | ||
| That's not good. | ||
| She's a bright, smart, beautiful woman. | ||
| Also, who thinks Steve King is bad? | ||
| Come on! | ||
| Does anybody? | ||
| I'm not sure I've actually ever heard Alex directly talk about him, which is interesting. | ||
| Well, he's from here. | ||
| Well, that could be. | ||
| You can talk about Canadian white supremacists all day. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So, Alex, after this, he's had Ted Nugent in. | ||
| Great, big git. | ||
| Yes, he's had Ted Nugent in to give optimism to the world. | ||
| Plenty of it. | ||
| Ted Nugent. | ||
| So in this next clip, we are blessed with an appearance from someone who is barely ever on InfoWars. | ||
| So a rare guest. | ||
| In the form of Roger Stone. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| I was actually hoping it would be a rare guest. | ||
| Nah, it's someone who's there every fucking day. | ||
| Like, we got Charlie Sheen to give us his analysis on the midterms. | ||
| He's in Austin, too. | ||
| Like, he's in studio, which is sort of interesting that he was there for the midterms. | ||
| Because if it went real bad, he might want to go a little south. | ||
| Might be wanting to meet up with the caravan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do not want him meeting up with the caravan, ever. | |
| So he has a new idea for InfoWars that is kind of interesting because there's one element of it that makes it seem like this is sort of organizing and political action. | ||
| We're going to talk about that all in a moment, but first, let's get to this, Roger. | ||
| You had the idea for this. | ||
| We delivered 100,000 signatures a year and a half ago to the president, and it had a massive, massive effect, and it got him moving on the censorship. | ||
| But you have the idea of this is a model others have used. | ||
| It's a handwritten letter. | ||
| They sign their name. | ||
| They can print off a copy for free. | ||
| They mail that or they don't email it for them. | ||
| So either it's two letters go out every time we do it or one. | ||
| We're going to send one out regardless. | ||
| With the postage paid in an individual letter, one million of these to flood the White House. | ||
| I think we're going to send about $100,000 to a Trump Tower in New York. | ||
| And it is almost a form of harassment, but we love the president. | ||
| We're doing him a favor. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I think we're going to hit like 100,000. | ||
| By harassing him. | ||
| We go more than a million. | ||
| Maybe his New Jersey estate. | ||
| Maybe we'll hit Mar-a-Lago with 100,000. | ||
| WriteTrump.com. | ||
| I'm going to hammer the White House. | ||
| So the idea behind this is that they're trying to convince him to take internet censorship seriously. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But you know the bottom line of this is Alex is going to sell it as... | ||
| A million people demand you help me get back on Facebook. | ||
| Yeah, essentially. | ||
| That's what's behind this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| 100%. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like, look at all this groundswell of people who won't put up with me not being on social media anymore. | ||
| Also, the whole point of the handwritten letter is to make it seem individuals made it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But we're going to... | ||
| Make a bunch of copies of a handwritten letter? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| So it looks like instead of... | ||
| And if you send it yourself, we're also sending it, so that's two for one. | ||
| But that doesn't make any sense! | ||
| Even if you do handwrite it, and it is personal, you're still sending the same letter to him! | ||
| You bet. | ||
| There's no way you can't see through that! | ||
| Not least of which, because he said it! | ||
| He announced that we're doing it! | ||
| We're not writing a form letter and typing it out. | ||
| That would be impersonal. | ||
| We're copying a handwritten letter and having people sign it. | ||
| That makes perfect sense. | ||
| It's crazy self-serving, and it's so easy to see through of, like, we need to get back on social media or we are fucked. | ||
| Roger, what do you got? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Website, writetrump.com? | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Solved. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Also, he doesn't have the power to do that. | ||
| Alex knows that, right? | ||
| I don't know if he knows that. | ||
| The president literally cannot say to a private corporation, you have to put this guy on your... | ||
| They've literally fought for years to make sure the president can't do that. | ||
| Alex would like... | ||
| He'd like to present it as, like, I have ironclad proof that they're specifically targeting and victimizing people for their political beliefs. | ||
| So the president could say that this is infringing on people's free speech in terms of political opinion and force them to not discriminate against people for that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| With the interpretation of the political ideology being a protected class, which is... | ||
| But I think that that's what Alex wants, or he wants to use rendition against Jack from Twitter, and have him tortured at a dark site, and then get Alex back on Twitter. | ||
| One of the two. | ||
| That would be interesting if one day we were just like, wait, did Zuckerberg go to Guantanamo? | ||
| Is that real? | ||
| That would be an extraordinary rendition. | ||
| That would be a big day. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So that's a little bit... | ||
| I hear desperation there, and it sounds good to my ears. | ||
| But then I heard this next clip, and I'm like, this is comical levels of desperation. | ||
| And don't forget, we have the biggest targeted sale. | ||
| Not the biggest general sale, but on six items, it is the biggest sale ever. | ||
| 67% off of Colloidal Silver, Silver Bullet. | ||
| Two more percent, man. | ||
| 57% off of Super Melos and Perfumal Vitality. | ||
| It's incredible, but I want to move it all. | ||
| I'll tell you why. | ||
| They're trying to take our payment processes to shut us down. | ||
| I have to sell out all of our product now before they're successful. | ||
| I pray they're not. | ||
| We've got to move it all out to fund to the next jump phase and new funding. | ||
| That's Juness. | ||
| I believe. | ||
| From everything I can tell. | ||
| Because he's saying this is a targeted sale. | ||
| There's these six things that I need to fucking sell out of. | ||
| Yeah, because I have got a big warehouse. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| It's because, according to him, they're going to take my payment processor and I won't be able to sell anything, so I've got to get rid of all this. | ||
| That argument doesn't work because all the other products that you're not trying to sell out of. | ||
| I believe, and I have slight reason to believe this. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He needs to get rid of the things that have overlap with products that sell from Jeunesse. | ||
| He needs to get rid of those because he can't promote both of them. | ||
| So while there is a knockout that Alex sells, there's a sleep thing that Jeunesse sells. | ||
| He can't have both of those on the shelves. | ||
| Jeunesse probably has a non-compete kind of thing going. | ||
| Oh, of course they do. | ||
| And so they're like, no, you can't market both of those things. | ||
| No, you can't private label on your own. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So he needs to have a targeted sale where he has a fire sale to get rid of everything that would have a overlap with his market multilevel marketing deal that he's trying to push now. | |
| That is a great, great point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's a great analysis. | ||
| That's a Ted Nugent-level analysis right there. | ||
| Cat scratch fever! | ||
| Actually, Janette sells something to deal with cat scratch fever. | ||
| Oh, do they? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| A balm. | ||
| A balm? | ||
| Because there's no other way for that reasoning to make sense, because he doesn't just sell six products. | ||
| If it was a fire sale on everything because we need to get rid of everything before they say we can't sell anything anymore, then I'd believe that. | ||
| But because the argument doesn't work with all of it, I think that it's a bullshit argument. | ||
| And it's just because those six things you know you can't sell next month or whatever. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You've got to read between the lines with this slippery asshole. | ||
| Fuck him. | ||
| So, in this next clip, Roger and Alex are sitting down. | ||
| They're having a bit of a bowl session about their favorite topic. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What accents they enjoy. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| About how they're victims. | ||
| Alex is trying to destroy me financially. | ||
| They're trying to destroy my family. | ||
| And I'm not going to go... | ||
| By the way, we're not just saying that. | ||
| You can see it. | ||
| They filed another fake Sandy Hook sit on me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ooh. | |
| This week. | ||
| And said, stop saying it didn't happen. | ||
| And for years I've said it was happening. | ||
| My listeners questioned it, and I did too as an American right. | ||
| But again, it's because we're winning. | ||
| I don't want to get into it on air, make a big deal about it. | ||
| We had three lawsuits thrown out in the last two weeks. | ||
| So that makes them mad. | ||
| They're like, oh my God, America keeps coming back. | ||
| And I'm not talking about the families themselves. | ||
| I'm talking about the politicos, the Democrats. | ||
| But Roger, let's get down to brass tacks. | ||
| They want to shut me up. | ||
| They want to shut you up. | ||
| That's brass tacks. | ||
| They want to shut Infowars off the face of the earth because we're a beacon for the truth. | ||
| Beacons of truth. | ||
| No, we want to put you in jail, Roger. | ||
| You can still talk. | ||
| You just got to do it from... | ||
| Hey, listen. | ||
| Martin Luther King Jr. wrote from a jail. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| If you want to be able to talk... | ||
| Yeah, if you want to be able to talk, that's fine. | ||
| We're going to put you in a federal penitentiary. | ||
| I have a feeling that the Stone Zone might be an 8 foot by 5 foot area. | ||
| In the near future. | ||
| We're remoting in from Roger Stone in his toilet-laden bunk bed. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I don't... | ||
| Obviously, I don't know all of the information, so I don't... | ||
| I have a sense that Roger has committed some crimes. | ||
| Oh, he's dead. | ||
| But I don't have enough information, so it's weird for me to say he should be in prison. | ||
| It feels like he should. | ||
| Oh, he's going to be. | ||
| But the people who have all of the information, the behind-the-scenes stuff, they know. | ||
| And if that is the case, then yeah, absolutely he should be. | ||
| But he should also still be able to do his podcast out of prison. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think that would be hilarious. | |
| I think that would be great. | ||
| Talk about prison fashion. | ||
| What his new roommate thinks of his Nixon tattoo. | ||
| But see, the thing is, because Mueller has carte blanche to investigate whatever, you know, anything that kind of just comes up, he can just go like, oh, I'm referring this to the FBI and all that stuff. | ||
| Even if Stone didn't commit these particular crimes... | ||
| We all know Stone, at some point or another, has committed at least one jailable offense. | ||
| And the very idea that so many people who have such deep involvement with Roger have been... | ||
| Talking to the special counsel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's not good. | |
| And they appear to be cooperating. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's not good for him. | |
| People like Jerome Corsi. | ||
| People like Manafort. | ||
| It doesn't look good for him. | ||
| Because before, when they were just saying they were going to arrest Paul Manafort, he could play the game of Manafort's a rock. | ||
| But now that he's cooperating... | ||
| The game is not the same. | ||
| Also, if you expected Jerome Corsi to go to bat for you, that is the easiest dude to flip there's ever been. | ||
| He'd be like... | ||
| When Mueller called him, he was like, dude, I'll tell you everything. | ||
| I don't even give a shit. | ||
| Without anything, like... | ||
| Jerome Corsi completely gave up on that narrative he was trying to pitch like six months ago about how he might die because of Seth Rich information that he found. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| He didn't even pay that off. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| So, yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Get him in a fucking courtroom. | ||
| He's going to be flop sweat coming down his waterlogged face. | ||
| So, I don't know, man. | ||
| I think that, yeah, no one wants to silence anybody. | ||
| I think that private companies have absolutely the right to do whatever they want to do. | ||
| In terms of kicking Alex off social media stuff because of a very clear breach of their rules that he's done, if they want to do that, then they can do that. | ||
| If, like, the web hosting that he uses, if they don't want to host his stuff anymore, that's their right to be like, no, this is beyond what we deem acceptable. | ||
| If there was, like, the government trying to silence him, then he'd have a good case, but he doesn't. | ||
| He just has, like, uh-oh, the chickens are coming home to roost. | ||
| I have made millions of dollars off doing this very distasteful work, and now... | ||
| So, but they tell the truth. | ||
| That's important. | ||
| Because this next clip... | ||
| Are they beacons of truth? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And that's important, because this next clip is not the truth. | ||
| George Soros goes on CBS. | ||
| Not Infowars. | ||
| CBS says, sure, I was a Nazi collaborator. | ||
| Yeah, it was the greatest time of my life. | ||
| If I hadn't done it, somebody else would. | ||
| You can see the clip, but when Alex Jones reports it and shows the clip, they accuse Jones of defaming Soros. | ||
| They claim it's anti-Semitic. | ||
| A former Nazi collaborator. | ||
| Facts are facts. | ||
| We're basing our research on a terrific interview on CBS. | ||
| Wait, it was a terrific interview? | ||
| Terrific interview. | ||
| Well, does he mean entertaining? | ||
| Was it a really entertaining interview? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I've watched it. | ||
| I'm not sure it was the best interview ever. | ||
| Because I think that there's some... | ||
| Like, vagueness. | ||
| There's a couple of indications where I don't think that Soros really understands the questions that are being asked to him. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Like, I don't think that it's like a language barrier or anything like that, but I think there's nuances to what the interviewer is asking him, that he's responding slightly, like, to a slightly different question. | ||
| So I don't think it's a terrific interview. | ||
| But that's not, I mean, it's, I don't know if I've ever heard Roger Stone give the Alex Jones Soros narrative, and that to me seems like he's scared. | ||
| That's a little desperate. | ||
| Also, Dan, can you think of any reason that Soros wouldn't go on InfoWars? | ||
| I did read recently that Soros' reps have asked Fox News. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And they said no, which is interesting. | ||
| Oh, of course not. | ||
| I don't know if you would ever want to go on InfoWars, but like... | ||
| I think he could handle it. | ||
| I think they would just yell Nazi at him or something. | ||
| Yeah, pretty much. | ||
| It would be an embarrassing display. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Because Alex would do one of his little set pieces. | ||
| Like, on Halloween, he dressed up like a frog and talked about how great it is that he's gay. | ||
| Really? | ||
| He did his gay frog character. | ||
| He did that on Halloween, huh? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think that he would do something like that with Soros. | ||
| He'd do something intentionally to embarrass him. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He'd dress up as Pepe the Frog. | ||
| And he would think it was satire or something like that. | ||
| So it's best. | ||
| George, if you're listening, don't do it. | ||
| Don't do it. | ||
| Don't do it. | ||
| Go on Fox News if you want. | ||
| I still think that would be bad. | ||
| No, that's not a great idea. | ||
| It is funny to hear, like, all these, like, why won't they debate me? | ||
| Why won't they come talk? | ||
| But they've been asking to for a while. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's the same thing with, hey, who cares? | ||
|
unidentified
|
All these stupid people on the right. | |
| It's really almost as if they don't want his voice on their programming because that's not... | ||
| What they do, they don't have, like, multiple opinions. | ||
| It's almost like they are some sort of outlet in order to propagandize for the president. | ||
| And there's no way to prove that. | ||
| It would be crazy. | ||
| What if one of their opinion commentators was actively campaigning for somebody? | ||
| That doesn't prove anything. | ||
| What if two of them are? | ||
| You forget Judge Jeanine was there. | ||
| Oh, that's right. | ||
| I forgot that Judge Jeanine was also there. | ||
| Yeah, Sean Hannity and fucking Jeanine Pirro showing up at a Trump rally giving stump speeches. | ||
| That's ludicrous. | ||
| It is awful. | ||
| I think that the media is biased. | ||
| I think they're just trying to get one person. | ||
| You know, they're just stepping for the devil. | ||
| I love Sean Hannity's take on that, too. | ||
| It's like, I didn't know he was going to have me. | ||
| Oh, that was the worst staging I have ever seen. | ||
| I knew he was going to give a speech before the rally. | ||
| People were announcing it. | ||
| Nonsense. | ||
| Oh, we were just going to do our show, and then he, oh my god, he picked me out of the crowd. | ||
| Like Bruce Springteen. | ||
| Bruce Springteen. | ||
| Springteen. | ||
| That was when he was younger. | ||
| That was when he was younger, yeah. | ||
| So Roger's pitching the Soros narrative, and that's not good, because we know that's full of shit. | ||
| We talked about it a bunch of times. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| But it's interesting, because the other day, an article came out in the National Review that talks about how, like, you don't need these Soros. | ||
| His real life is just as bad. | ||
| His real life is bad enough. | ||
| Alright, I like that. | ||
| So Alex has read this and he wants to report on some of it. | ||
| Did he read the article this time? | ||
| He's going to read a blurb in it. | ||
| And then I will give you some context on it on the other side. | ||
| We're going to go to break. | ||
| This is a bombshell that one of our affiliate relations guys, Scott, brought up. | ||
| And I remember reading this years ago. | ||
| It's why 60 Minutes brought it up. | ||
| Soros' adopted father... | ||
| It's a National Review article, which is basically the right-wing CIA. | ||
| The truth about George Soros is damning enough. | ||
| And then it's got a quote about the following week, the kind-hearted Nazi local militia, in an effort to cheer the unhappy lad up, took him off with him. | ||
| Already here, he is lying. | ||
| The quote does not say the kind-hearted local Nazi militia. | ||
| Were they talking about the Oath Keepers? | ||
| No, the quote is Blaufa. | ||
| Blaufus, which is the name that Tivedar Soros, George Soros' dad, this is from his memoirs, his dad's memoirs, Blaufus is the name that he gives to the adopted Christian godparent that he left George with as a young boy. | ||
| So Alex is already turning this one individual into a kind-hearted Nazi militia. | ||
| So he's already twisting this here. | ||
| So let me jump back here real quick. | ||
| Quote, about the following week, the kind-hearted Nazi local militia, in an effort to cheer the unhappy lad up, took him off with him to the provinces. | ||
| At the time, he was working in the trans-debumi, I can't pronounce it, west of Budapest, on the modern estate of a Jewish aristocrat, Baron Morick Kornfeld. | ||
| There, they were wine and dined, but... | ||
| What was left of the staff? | ||
| George also met several other ministry officials who immediately took a liking to the young man, the alleged godson of Mr. Boflos. | ||
| He even helped with the inventory. | ||
| Surrounded by good company, he quickly regained his spirits. | ||
| On Saturday, he returned to Budapest. | ||
| That's George Soros at a rich Jew's house taking the property in his adopted father's own memoir. | ||
| So, I mean, that's in there. | ||
| If you go find that book, that is in there, except for Alex's editorializing there. | ||
| But this quote from the National Review is yet another example of cherry-picking quotes to make Soros seem super evil. | ||
| It's taken from page 71 of Tivedar Soros, George's father's memoirs. | ||
| One thing that's important to note is that it completely deprives context when you use this quote. | ||
| immediately before the passage that Alex just read is this quote Blaufus was charged with the ministry by the ministry with over inventory and confiscated Jewish estates he was home only at weekends the rest of the time he spent taking inventory in the provinces during the week George passed his time alone in Blaufus's apartment lacking anything to do he caught the attention of some of his schoolmates who lived in the building across the way communicating by hand signals they seemed surprised to see him hold up in somebody else's house | ||
| The following week, the kind-hearted Blaufus, in an effort to cheer up the unhappy lad, took him off with him to the provinces. | ||
| So you already have the context here of he's hiding in this guy's house, and he's fucking miserable. | ||
| He's sad. | ||
| He's isolated, doesn't know what to do. | ||
| So the godfather takes him with him on this one time. | ||
| To the provinces. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So it hurts the argument that he was working rounding up and inventorying Jew property and stuff working for the Nazis when you realize that this passage where he went to this estate and was wined and dined or whatever... | ||
| It's in the context of someone who's... | ||
| Take your son to work day. | ||
| More or less. | ||
| It's very clearly written out there. | ||
| Now, immediately after this, Tivedar goes on to describe how Blaufus tried to accommodate a sad young boy living in hiding with him. | ||
| So he allowed him to go roam the hills and explore in Budapest. | ||
| There, he's almost discovered by a guard, but is allowed to pass after showing his fake papers. | ||
| This is then related to a story of George's friend, Jeremiah, who was not so lucky. | ||
| And ended up going to the gas chambers. | ||
| So the reality of this story, this piece of the story that they're cutting out, is taken from a larger hole of Tivedar sort of relaying this part of Soros' life when he was younger, when he was in hiding, and was miserable, and this guy tried to cheer him up, and he took him along to this estate where they had some wine and met. | ||
| Some folks, and he took note of some of the things that were in the house that were going to be confiscated. | ||
| Who gives a shit? | ||
| And then he came back and... | ||
| Nearly died. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| You know how a lot of... | ||
| Like the reality of the Holocaust was there, and that they were on the cutting edge of almost dying at all times. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Jesus. | ||
| That's just fucked up. | ||
| And they... | ||
| Try and paint him as a Nazi collaborator. | ||
| With this? | ||
| When there's an amazing escape that he made from getting out of it, from not being killed. | ||
| Like, you very well may not have had any sorrows to bitch about because he could have died at any fucking moment. | ||
| Now, I want to say this super clearly. | ||
| I have had tons of people who have found the article that I wrote about how Soros wasn't a Nazi collaborator on our website. | ||
| Tons of people have come and found the article who don't know our podcast or anything like that, and they will say, yes, he was. | ||
| I'll ask them for a point, and then I will rebut their point. | ||
| No one has a good argument. | ||
| No one. | ||
| Alex doesn't. | ||
| Nobody who's come and tried to flex has a good argument. | ||
| And there's something that I've started to fucking realize that really, really disappoints me. | ||
| And that is that all these people who have this Soros brainwagon, worm going on. | ||
| You know what they have? | ||
| They have more fucking sympathy for the Nazis than a 13-year-old kid. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who was the target of the Nazis. | |
| I can't understand how all of these people are like, no, he was bad news. | ||
| He went around and maybe wrote down in a notebook that there was a vase in someone's house. | ||
| Ha-ha, we got him! | ||
| Like, you know they were fucking mass-killing people, right? | ||
| You know that. | ||
| There were ovens. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Eh. | |
| You understand? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Eh. | |
| You know the reality of the situation that was going on. | ||
| Eh. | ||
| I feel like writing down, there's a vase over here, is pretty small potatoes. | ||
| Collaborating. | ||
| I honestly think, like, if this is what you got... | ||
| You are in embarrassment. | ||
| Stop! | ||
| Done. | ||
| Collaborator and listen. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I just think, like, that's some soft shit. | ||
| And when Alex and Roger are sitting here talking about, like, we're victimized because we're a beacon of truth, and then you come with that weak bullshit, and National Review should be fucking ashamed of themselves for printing that quote without the context of the part in the book that's right around it. | ||
| Like, this is disgraceful shit. | ||
| And yes, it is anti-Semitic, because they are targeting him specifically. | ||
| Like, not because he's Jewish, but about a part of his Judaism. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then Alex even later, like, he rambles about Soros for a bit. | ||
| He goes on to be like, he's Jewish, but he doesn't like Judaism. | ||
| Like, he's not Jewish enough for Alex somehow. | ||
| And that invalidates his experience in the Holocaust or something? | ||
| I have no fucking idea. | ||
| But it just, like, all this is to say is, come at me. | ||
| I don't even like Soros, and I'll fight any of you. | ||
| Not a physical fight, but I want someone to actually make a good point that doesn't have to do with that one little possible insider trading thing that he did in the late 80s. | ||
| Anything else? | ||
| I think it's fun that earlier, after Kunas... | ||
| I was like, yeah, see, the difference is between, you know, the soft J and the hard J in Jew, and then later on he hits the hard J in Jew. | ||
| They're going to some rich Jew's house. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like, thanks. | ||
| Thanks, Alex. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Good work. | ||
| And if we needed more evidence, I don't think we do, but if we did need more evidence of this being a very white-centric operation, I submit to you this clip of Roger Stone. | ||
| This is a Mike Down clip. | ||
| You know, people, there was a lot of commentary about the nomination and election of an open socialist in the Democratic Party in Queens, New York. | ||
| People, I don't think, realize that Cortez defeated Joe Crowley, who was an old-line, machine, white, working-class, traditional liberal Democrat, who should have been unbeatable. | ||
| Who was, by the way, I don't give a damn if he's white or whatever, I hate these guys, but compared to her, he was actually delivering to people. | ||
| So they've now put a person in that doesn't know anything about this. | ||
| He was a classic liberal. | ||
| We don't agree with him, but he's a decent sort of fellow. | ||
| And the fact that she's able to beat someone, that tells you what's happened in the Democratic Party. | ||
| There's no room for moderates in the Democratic Party. | ||
| There's not even room for classical liberals in the Democratic Party. | ||
| The Democratic Party is now the party of Andrew Gillum and Cortez. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| What does that tell you? | ||
| He named two people of color. | ||
| A Democratic party is not for whites anymore, guys. | ||
| She beat a white man who's a classic liberal. | ||
| She shouldn't have been able to do that. | ||
| He's a decent fella. | ||
| He's a decent fella. | ||
| We disagree with him. | ||
| Any other circumstance, they wouldn't be saying he's a decent fella. | ||
| No. | ||
| Any other circumstance, they'd be like, he's a globalist. | ||
| But listen to me. | ||
| He used to deliver for people. | ||
| What has Alexandria Cortez done, huh? | ||
| Dan, name me one policy she's gotten through Congress. | ||
| I mean, she just got elected yesterday. | ||
| Oh, yeah? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Tell me, well, then why hasn't she gotten to work yet? | ||
| In the first hundred days of Trump's administration, he did it all! | ||
| Well, look, so I don't think there's any way to look at that other than Roger Stone very clearly trying to express that the Democratic Party is not a place for whites anymore. | ||
| Like, I just don't think that there's any way to cut that. | ||
| But I think that it's really interesting to hear Alex trying to be like, I don't care if you're white or not. | ||
| Like, Alex is trying to, like, walk Roger back a little bit. | ||
| And then he's like, it's the party of Andrew Gillum and Alexandria Cortez. | ||
| Not white people. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's a very decent white man that you beat. | ||
| Look, he delivered. | ||
| He delivered for his people. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| Should have been unbeatable. | ||
| He was white! | ||
| It's crazy the level that that is, like, that's such a harsh dog whistle. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I like that, well, Alex has to walk it back a little bit, because he's being sued so much for all the dumb shit he's saying, whereas Roger, fuck yeah, I'll throw it out there. | ||
| Living his most racist life. | ||
| Yeah, I'm Roger Stone. | ||
| I'll be a white supremacist, whatever. | ||
| So, though he's very clearly expressing a white supremacist position, Roger also has the gift of the second sight. | ||
| He has the gift of the second sight? | ||
| He says sooth. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because towards the end of the show, it comes out that Jeff Sessions has been fired. | ||
| Yes, he has been fired. | ||
| People are trying to present that as a resignation, but when you write in your resignation letter, you asked me to quit? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's getting fired. | ||
| That's a fire. | ||
| So, in this next clip... | ||
| Did you hear who he's appointed to replace him? | ||
| Yeah, it's that Whitaker guy, right? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| You know the guy who ran the law firm that was a scam? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Scamming people and the guy who hates Mueller so much, it's almost like he's gearing up to fire Mueller. | ||
| I didn't have enough time to look into him all that much before we started recording because it was evolving over the course of the day. | ||
| So we're recording this here on Wednesday. | ||
| All I did was look at a picture of him and I got really freaked out. | ||
| He looks really scary. | ||
| And then, second, everyone was tweeting that article where he's talking about how the Mueller probe might be going too far and stuff like that. | ||
| Yeah, of course. | ||
| But also, from everything I was able to glean, again, in my elementary research, indicated that Rosenstein would still be in charge of the probe until someone is confirmed as AG. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know if that's 100% accurate, but that was the sense I was getting. | ||
| I do believe that it's a ploy to get rid of the probe, and it's an indication that, like, uh-oh, now that they have subpoena power in the House, I got a lot to be worried about. | ||
| So you're saying that there's a committee, and the head of that committee is going to be able to subpoena my tax returns, and if I just say no, then it's going to be in the courts? | ||
| Wait, wait, what about my buddy Trey? | ||
| Nope. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gowdy isn't there to protect me no more? | |
| But Alex in this next clip is talking about how Roger predicted that Sessions was going to be fired. | ||
| I think, didn't everybody, didn't he literally say like a month ago that after the midterms, Sessions is going to be fired? | ||
| Well, also, Roger and Alex have been screaming for Sessions to be fired for God knows how long. | ||
| They do it all the time. | ||
| You know, eventually you're going to be right with the Trump administration if you're calling for someone to get fired. | ||
| Or someone to leave. | ||
| It's only a matter of time. | ||
| But Alex claims that Roger has prognosticating abilities. | ||
| But the way he phrases it is really troubling. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, exactly as Roger Stone predicted a month ago and last night, he said if you want to change the subject, Mr. President, he said it right towards the end of our broadcast when Owen and the rest of the crew took over, he said you must fire Sessions. | ||
| And Rosenstein to change the narrative from the election loss, which was barely a loss, which is still a loss, but it shows that if we didn't have treason, we would have won. | ||
| We need a mem. | ||
| Without treason, we would have won, Dan. | ||
| And we need a mem. | ||
| You need to fire him so we can change the conversation from the midterms. | ||
| This is just them knowing how propaganda works. | ||
| And good on them. | ||
| But again... | ||
| Wait, good on them? | ||
| Well, I mean, for knowing how propaganda works. | ||
| It's their business. | ||
| They better know how it works. | ||
| Yeah, that's a good point. | ||
| It's more what I'm saying is, like, they've been screaming this forever. | ||
| Of course, eventually they're going to be right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And they're actually, I think they're externalizing things a little more than they should. | ||
| The idea of, like, Mr. President, change the narrative by firing your attorney general. | ||
| It's pretend, like, I don't, I'm not 100% sure that's what Trump is doing. | ||
| But if it is, and they're saying, like, this is what he should do. | ||
| It all looks really bad. | ||
| Because why are you changing the narrative? | ||
| What's wrong with the narrative of you guys not really losing? | ||
| I mean, that narrative still forces you to admit that you lost. | ||
| And you can't do that. | ||
| You can't admit that you lost. | ||
| Trump can't admit that he lost. | ||
| He's the one who's a god king. | ||
| He wins everything. | ||
| Yeah, he always wins. | ||
| So in this next clip, Alex, for most of the rest of the appearance, and after this, Paul Joseph Watson hosts The Force of the Power, so who cares? | ||
| But Alex keeps saying he's going to take calls. | ||
| He doesn't. | ||
| No, of course not. | ||
| And then it's just kind of like an angry bragging kind of thing where they're just talking about how great they are. | ||
| And in this next clip, I just think this is so funny. | ||
| Alex is talking about how American he is. | ||
| And then he's like... | ||
| I was like, I'm going to give my bona fides, and then he doesn't. | ||
| You got traitors that sold the country out, working with foreign powers, claiming that known super patriots like Donald Trump, Roger Stone, and Alex Johnson. | ||
| I'm not bragging, but I'll tell you my bona fides. | ||
| Bona fides? | ||
| Ridiculously. | ||
| It's ridiculous, okay? | ||
| Super patriot. | ||
| The whole point is that they all know you cannot get more thoroughbred America than me. | ||
| It doesn't exist, okay? | ||
| It does not exist. | ||
| And so the claims of all this... | ||
| My answer is for the Confederacy! | ||
| Infinity times a trillion garbage. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Infinity times a trillion garbage. | ||
| It doesn't get more American than fighting against the Union. | ||
| Sure, sure, there's that. | ||
| He also has advocated for Texas to secede a number of times. | ||
| But that's because he's so American! | ||
| So American. | ||
| And then you've got Roger Stone, who made millions and millions of dollars working for foreign governments that were not... | ||
| Necessarily in America's best interest. | ||
| That's the most American thing you can do! | ||
| Capitalism, baby! | ||
| And then Donald Trump, who has a multinational corporation that he seems to prioritize over United States interests. | ||
| I don't think that any of those people I would qualify as super patriots. | ||
| I would actually qualify them as people who actively want to destroy America. | ||
| I would qualify them as a trillion times infinity garbage. | ||
| That's a good way to describe him. | ||
| Alex is kind of right. | ||
| What is a trillion times affinity? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Like 10? | ||
| So throughout this show, Trump has been giving a press conference that went very poorly today. | ||
| And the thing that most people have been noting is that he got into a little bit of a fight with Jim Acosta. | ||
| And it was pretty ugly to see an adult act that way. | ||
| No, he's a super patriot. | ||
| He was very much like... | ||
| You're bad. | ||
| You're bad. | ||
| What's more important than attacking the free press? | ||
| You ask me a question I don't like. | ||
| You're bad. | ||
| I'm going to have this woman try and wrestle your mic away. | ||
|

|
You're bad. | |
| You should be ashamed. | ||
| I can't believe people let you work for them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, adults, do we have any? | |
| Do we have any anymore? | ||
| Doesn't seem that way. | ||
| But buried in that exchange is Jim Acosta asking about the... | ||
| Rhetoric that Trump used about the caravan in the lead up to the midterm. | ||
| And Trump's response to that is, I want these people in because we've got jobs we've got to fill with industries coming back. | ||
| Because that's a more important piece of his self-perception that he needs to sell is that the jobs are coming back and the markets are doing good. | ||
| He only needed to drum up that racist fervor in order to bring people out to vote in the midterm. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Are you saying it's some sort of stunt? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| He's abandoned that largely in this exchange. | ||
| He's like, yes, I did characterize it as an invasion because I think it is an invasion, but I want the people in. | ||
| Like, um, what? | ||
| We need to be invaded! | ||
| Because we got jobs to fill, Dan! | ||
| Amazon's splitting up their thing into two things! | ||
| Come on! | ||
| So noticeably, that's absent from Trump's press conference, and it's also fairly absent from Alex's rhetoric. | ||
| He's still a little bit on that tip, and he's like, ah, they're going to crash through the border. | ||
| But he said it was going to happen right before the midterms or during the midterms as a stunt, and none of that happened. | ||
| It's happening right away! | ||
| So he's got to pivot away from that. | ||
| Anyway... | ||
| That display in that press conference was petulant nonsense. | ||
| It was a childish man lashing out at people who were trying to ask him fair questions. | ||
| And this is the response that Alex and Roger have, and I think that they're fairly accurate. | ||
| Just in such a moment as in beginning to fire Sessions, everything we've wanted, and all the fake QAnon people telling us, oh, Sessions is good. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| No. | ||
| The president told me Sessions and people like McCain are pieces of crap a year and a half ago. | ||
| When he put Sessions in, he told you he was a piece of crap? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| What? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But don't worry, they'll be dealt with. | ||
| It's now happening, ladies and gentlemen, and let's get ready for it because I believe, for whatever reason after this election, President Trump's taken the gloves off. | ||
| Roger Stone. | ||
| This may very well be Trump Unchained. | ||
| Now you may see the real Donald Trump, the one you just saw slapping Jim Acosta back. | ||
| That was the Trump that I know. | ||
| That was the Trump that I love. | ||
| The petulant child. | ||
| He doesn't brook any nonsense. | ||
| That's what I love about him. | ||
| So get ready for Donald Trump Unchained. | ||
| God, I'm ready. | ||
| That sounded orgasmic. | ||
| Gross! | ||
| So that brings us to the end of this adventure on November 7th, 2018. | ||
| And I think that what we can glean from it are some positive points towards Alex's show being listenable. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which is good for me. | ||
| But it's not great for the world. | ||
| I mean, the world has got its work cut out for it. | ||
| But there was no part of either of us, or any right-thinking person, I believe, who thought that the midterm elections could substantially change the situation we're in. | ||
| Even if Democrats had taken over both houses of Congress and won every governor house in the country, that doesn't deal with the issues that we're actually facing. | ||
| The government stuff is a real problem, and there's a lot of issues that need to be taken care of that aren't being taken care of, whether it be voter disenfranchisement, big issue, climate change, massive issue, economic disparity, massive issue, those sorts of things. | ||
| Sure, those are issues that we need the government to take point on and work towards. | ||
| The real issues that we're facing in terms of extremism, in terms of the trend towards... | ||
| White nationalist violence? | ||
| Right. | ||
| And white nationalist adjacent violence, like misogynistic violence. | ||
| I think you could categorize these incel folks that keep shooting people. | ||
| Maybe in that camp. | ||
| Those sorts of things are the real issues that we need to deal with. | ||
| And I don't think any measure of... | ||
| Left success in government is going to deal with those things. | ||
| So that's my take on it. | ||
| There's real positives to take away from the midterms. | ||
| There's real unfortunate, should-have-gone-better things to take from it. | ||
| And then the bigger picture of we all need to... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know, but the problems are with all of us, not the government. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, not with all of us. | ||
| They're with a lot of us. | ||
| A very vocal violent section, perhaps. | ||
| But that's still our problem, you know? | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| That's still our problem to deal with. | ||
| And I think that we can help people as much as we can. | ||
| I think that there's active soul-searching that even people who aren't extremist, violent people need to do in order to be helpful. | ||
| In the coming climate that we're going to be in, you know? | ||
| You mean super hot with most of Florida underwater? | ||
| I meant more like interpersonal climate. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| As opposed to the destruction of all life on the planet? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't really have a message about this, but this is much more listenable than Alex has been in months. | ||
| So, there's that. | ||
| And that's even with Ted Nugent on the show. | ||
| So, that's saying a lot. | ||
| Well, you know. | ||
| When you have a man who believes in the Constitution and the Ten Commandments, which are perfectly in line with each other, if you recall. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Everybody knows that nothing goes hand in hand more than the Constitution and the Ten Commandments. | ||
| There's that whole amendment about coveting. | ||
| Oh, no, no, no, we don't deal with amendments. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| Sorry, sorry. | ||
| Wait, the amendment about coveting? | ||
| Yeah, the non-coveting amendment. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know, man. | ||
| It's a fucking mess. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| What are you going to say? | ||
| Do everything we can to get rid of Pelosi! | ||
| Go away, Pelosi! | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| You've got a chance now to just leave so we can do better things! | ||
| Let's hope for the future. | ||
| She's the fucking worst, man. | ||
| But until then, we have a website, knowledgefight.com. | ||
| We do! | ||
| Can you find us on Twitter where you can't find Alex? | ||
| Yep, knowledge underscore fight. | ||
| Can you find us on Facebook where you can't find Alex? | ||
| Yep, we're there. | ||
| Do we have a group where you can't find Alex? | ||
| Go home and tell your mother you're brilliant. | ||
| Unfortunately, you can't find Alex on iTunes. | ||
| Yeah, no, I don't know. | ||
| You can't. | ||
| Find him. | ||
| I'm not sure what the status on that is. | ||
| That's an interesting question. | ||
| But we're there! | ||
| We are. | ||
| You can subscribe, leave a review, all that good stuff. | ||
| Do the whole thing. | ||
| So, the midterms have come and gone, and I don't think they killed anybody. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| Maybe some ramifications of them might. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know if anybody died from voting, let's say. | ||
| There was one lady at least who voted and then died before the election. | ||
| Is that right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| I assume those go hand in hand. | ||
| If that's true, then the act of voting has the exact same death toll this season as Alex Jones, who theoretically killed a guy. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||
