Today, Dan and Jordan explore the positions of one of Alex Jones' guests, Reverend James David Manning. What they find is a horrifying melange of insanity, historical ignorance, and very offensive homophobia. Please be advised, some of the stuff he says is very hard to hear.

| Hey everybody, Dan here. | ||
| I just wanted to slide in real quick before we start this episode and give a fair warning to one and all. | ||
| The content that we're going to be going over today drifts pretty deeply into stuff that would... | ||
| I rightfully be called offensive to most people. | ||
| Some of the content that we end up covering is very homophobic, even to a violent extent, and if that is something that you have no tolerance for, I totally understand, and I would advise maybe this is not the episode for you. | ||
| That said, let's jump in, and here is the episode. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||

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. | ||

|
Hey. | |
| I realized that I forgot to ask you this question on our last episode. | ||
| Oh, that's exciting. | ||
| What's your favorite Nicolas Cage movie? | ||
| My favorite Nicolas Cage. | ||
| If you say knowing, I'm going to punch you. | ||
| Well, knowing is up there because of that moment that we talked about in the last episode. | ||
| Like, being in the theater and laughing that hard. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Now, I don't know what kind of answer to give, because there's good movies that he's done. | ||
| Like, Adaptation's really good. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| You could say that. | ||
| Or, I mean, Port of Call, New Orleans, Bad Lieutenant is great. | ||
| It's a great movie. | ||
| They're so different in terms of his performances. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Wicker Man's great, too, if you just want to laugh at it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He has such a range of movies that I can't choose one that's my favorite. | ||
| But I'll probably say the family man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
LAUGHTER It's a close... | |
| That's a great one! | ||
| It's a close tie between The Family Man and Matchstick Men. | ||
| I have not seen that one in a long time. | ||
| Those came out when I worked at a theater, so I saw those. | ||
| Although I like Tia Leone. | ||
| I would not say that The Family Man is one of my favorites. | ||
| I love Taya Leone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| She was great in Bad Boys. | ||
| And what was that show that she had? | ||
| The Truth About Sex or something like that? | ||
| That wasn't the name of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| There was some NBC show that she was on that was really great, and I can't remember what the name of it was. | ||
| Anyway... | ||
| She was in You Kill Me, which is a great... | ||
| or it's not a great movie, but it's... | ||
| She was married to David Duchovny. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, yeah, she was, wasn't she? | ||
| I think they got a divorce because he's a sex addict. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Eh, sure. | |
| Why not? | ||
| Am I just thinking of Californication? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's the same thing. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| Are you thinking of the Red Shoe Diaries? | ||
| This is a show where I don't know much about the personal life of David Duchovny, but I do know a lot about Alex Jones. | ||
| And I know nothing about either of those. | ||
| And today it's Wacky Wednesday, so it doesn't matter. | ||
| We're not talking about Alex Jones. | ||
| Except we kind of are a tiny bit. | ||
| God damn it. | ||
| But we'll get into that here in a second. | ||
| Before we get into the show proper, I'd like to take a moment here to say thank you to a couple people who have signed up and are helping support the show, and we appreciate it oh so very much. | ||
| So first, I'd like to... | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Carrie, you are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much, Carrie, and it could not be more apropos of this episode. | ||
| It is not Carrie Cassidy. | ||
| It's spelled differently. | ||
| Oh, God, dude. | ||
| I'll tell you in a minute. | ||
| I also would like to say thank you so much to Beth. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you, Beth. | ||
| Thank you very much, Beth. | ||
| If you'd like to support the show and become a policy wonk, you can do so by going to our website. | ||
| It's knowledgefight.com. | ||
| There's a button there that says support the show. | ||
| Click that button. | ||
| Help us out. | ||
| Keep on the lights, as they say on other podcasts. | ||
| Do they? | ||
| I've heard it. | ||
| Anyway, the reason that Carrie Cassidy triggered something in my brain is because someone posted on our Facebook group, go home and tell your mother you're brilliant. | ||
| A link to Carrie Cassidy's true TV pilot that she made with Project Camelot. | ||
| I didn't realize that that was publicly available. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, shit. | |
| I knew that she had made a show, but man... | ||
| Next documentary. | ||
| No, I don't think we can go over it. | ||
| It's really poorly made. | ||
| But it was really awesome because I've been looking for a really long time. | ||
| For the connection between Project Camelot and this guy named Andrew Baziago. | ||
| He's a particular crazy that I'm really into. | ||
| So I swore that I'd seen a Project Camelot episode where they interviewed Baziago. | ||
| But I can't find it. | ||
| If they did, it's not online anymore. | ||
| But he appears in their True TV pilot. | ||
| Anyway, Andrew Baziago claims that he was a part of a secret program when he was a kid. | ||
| Then he teleported to Mars twice, which is not the most extreme thing. | ||
| He also went with Barack Obama. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's nice! | |
| Him and Barack Obama were kids, and they went to Mars. | ||
| Most people never even get to meet the president, let alone travel to Mars in a teleporter with them. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| Also, Andrew Basiago says that he's a half-dolphin warrior and can breathe underwater. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| That one's, I guess, more impressive than meeting the president? | ||
| He has a lot going on, and he's someone who I'd really like to cover, but I can't find the episode on Project Camelot, and I was watching that pilot, and I'm like, Basiago! | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love it. | |
| He's so crazy. | ||
| Anyway, Jordan, today is not a Project Camelot episode. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| It is Wacky Wednesday, so we're drifting off course. | ||
| But as we're now on the other side of the Obama deception, one of the things that I really want to do is I want to open up the Wednesday episode a lot more. | ||
| We've done a lot of Jim Baker. | ||
| We've done a lot of Project Camelot. | ||
| We've tried to dip our toes in other places. | ||
| It hasn't really worked all that well, generally speaking, because a lot of shows aren't the same vibe. | ||
| And I've done a lot. | ||
| I did. | ||
| I watched so many bad shows to prepare for this. | ||
| I watched so many shows that I'm like, nah, it's not right. | ||
| Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place? | ||
| I love that show. | ||
| It's really good. | ||
| Ryan Reynolds. | ||
| Early Ryan Reynolds. | ||
| Trailer Howard. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| She's so awesome. | ||
| Huge crush on Trailer Howard as a child. | ||
| I believe that. | ||
| Made me watch Monk! | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| I went down a lot of roads. | ||
| One of them was this show called Radical Agenda with Chris Cantwell. | ||
| He's the Nazi who was featured in that Vice documentary at Charlottesville, who then started crying a whole bunch when he had to go to jail. | ||
| I listened to his show because he's an outright Nazi. | ||
| And I was like, well, he says he's not a Nazi, but who gives a shit? | ||
| He's a white nationalist for sure. | ||
| He takes that moniker. | ||
| And I was like, well, it'd probably be easy to find a lot of similarities with Alex in this. | ||
| And sure enough, there are. | ||
| He has one episode where he talks about how libertarianism is the gateway to white supremacy. | ||
| I'm like, bingo, buddy. | ||
| Called that one. | ||
| He has an episode where he interviews Simon Roche, who Alex has had on a bunch. | ||
| He's the sweet launder who wants to peddle white genocide narratives. | ||
| It's just a bad show, though. | ||
| It's not good. | ||
| He's not running a con. | ||
| And he wears his white supremacy on his sleeve. | ||
| So it's kind of a situation where we're going to listen to it and be like, you're a white suprem... | ||
| Yep, you bet I am. | ||
| Yeah, that is kind of immunizing yourself against our particular form of takedown. | ||
| Yeah, so it didn't do it for me and I don't know how to cover it. | ||
| We may revisit it at some point. | ||
| There's a whole bunch of shows that I listen to that were busts. | ||
| And so I thought about it and I'm like, well, another good use of this time would be to... | ||
| Explore some of Alex's guests that we haven't explored, or maybe we've touched on a little bit, and give me a chance to deal with some of my favorite crazies. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So everyone knows my favorite crazy is Daryl Hamamoto. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because he is a guy who is a legitimate professor. | ||
| He was doing some real... | ||
| Important research in the desexualization of Asian American men in our culture, and then lost his mind, and now talks about how his pink guitar is gay, and the Illuminati is in charge of all schools, and Linda Katehi, the president of UC Davis, has a bunch of mind control antennas. | ||
| I love the guy. | ||
| I still think that's true. | ||
| He's so crazy. | ||
| He is great. | ||
| We're not going to be talking about him today. | ||
| We are going to be talking about my second favorite crazy. | ||
| And that is someone who we've experienced on Alex Jones' show before. | ||
| It is Reverend James David Manning. | ||
| Oh, shit! | ||
| Oh, somebody sent me a bucket of poop today, Dan! | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That is where that drop comes from, from Reverend Manning. | ||
| He is someone who has been a guest on Alex Jones' show since at least 2010, up till Trump's election, and then... | ||
| Then Manning turned on Trump and now says he's going to bring in the tribulation and calls him Tribulation Trump. | ||
| And so now he's not welcome back on Alex's show. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| But for that six years, he was a guest who had come on on a fairly regular basis. | ||
| Beyond that, he's also appeared on Michael Savage's show. | ||
| He has been on Gavin McGinnis' show. | ||
| I found an episode of that. | ||
| It's not great. | ||
| That's not good. | ||
| They talk about how Trump is kind of like a rapper because he's really rich. | ||
| It's not good. | ||
| We won't be listening to any of that. | ||
| But I feel like in the time that we've talked about Reverend Manning, we haven't really dealt with how awful a person he is. | ||
| And in this episode, I plan to lay out for you and demonstrate exactly how crazy he is. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And then it's going to turn really bad at the end. | ||
| That sounds right. | ||
| That sounds right for us. | ||
| Here's an out-of-context drop from today's exploration of Reverend James David Manning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A 9-11 truther! | |
| Wait, did he? | ||
| It's funny both ways. | ||
| Did he say, I am not, or I am now? | ||
| Now. | ||
| He said, I am now a 9-11 truther. | ||
| He's announcing, from the pulpit, in church. | ||
| Two raucous applause! | ||
| That is surreal. | ||
| That was actually in 1 Corinthians, though. | ||
| I am now a 9-11 truther! | ||
| Amen! | ||
| So that should give you a little bit of a sense of... | ||
| I want to be in his congregation so bad. | ||
| That sounds like way more fun than most churches. | ||
| Don't think you'd be welcome? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Don't like white people all that much. | ||
| Not a fan. | ||
| Yeah, but I think I've got... | ||
| But twist, he also hates black people, so... | ||
| Yeah, well, there's that! | ||
| Reverend Manning is one of the most sort of three-tool-player bigots. | ||
| You know, he's the triple threat. | ||
| He hates everybody. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And talks shit on everybody. | ||
| It's pretty remarkable, his ability to hate. | ||
| He is particularly a virulent homophobe. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| So we'll deal with that. | ||
| Our first clip, Jordan, comes to us from a speech he's doing. | ||
| And the reason that I chose to start with this one is on the Obama deception coverage, you made the argument that the first two years of Obama's term were a linchpin in history. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| You believed that and you were saying you were going to write a doctoral thesis on it if you ever go back to school. | ||
| Did I say that? | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| I remember so little from that day. | ||
| You recommended someone study it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, okay. | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And I'll tell you this. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| Reverend James David Dunning has studied the first two years. | ||
| Well, then I retract my ask. | ||
| Here is what he has to say about the first two years of Obama's presidency. | ||
| The first two years of the Obama administration, he released homosexual demons. | ||
| For where? | ||
| Stephen, you know, just saying homosexual is taking a chance. | ||
| No, it's not! | ||
| Because the people in Silicon Valley can throw me off of YouTube simply for saying that. | ||
| God, they don't like that word. | ||
| But the first two years of the Obama administration, he released the homosexual demons. | ||
| Say it again! | ||
| They just came out of the woodwork. | ||
| And then the first two years of Donald Trump, he released the psychotic, freaky, perverted sex demons. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I don't know which is worse or which is better, Dan. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| The psychotic, freaky sex demons. | ||
| Psychotic. | ||
| Freaky sex demons. | ||
| I imagine it's a sex demon with a lampshade on its head and a bloody knife in its head. | ||
| That's what I hear. | ||
| Psychotic freaky. | ||
| Wearing the bottom half of a horse costume. | ||
| You know, where you're supposed to have two people, but he's got the bottom half. | ||
| I don't know why lampshade on the head is my go-to for freaky. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| It comes from a very particular time in pop culture, I think. | ||
| So yeah, man, sex demons. | ||
| There's an interesting thing that he does. | ||
| Point out, for him specifically, is that when he says saying homosexual is bad, just like saying the word homosexual is bad, for him in particular, it's just like saying Jew and saying Jew, you know? | ||
| Like, yeah, for you, it is bad. | ||
| Right, but he's making the same argument Alex makes all the time. | ||
| It's like, that's a word they don't want people to use. | ||
| No, we're cool with it. | ||
| I don't think anybody has a real problem with it. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Someone could correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I've ever run into anybody who's like, homosexual is a term like the N-word or anything. | ||
| I'm assuming some people are... | ||
| Everybody's bad about it. | ||
| People have quirks. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, one of the other roads that I went down when I was trying to figure out how we could expand Wacky Wednesday was I started listening to a bunch of Stefan Molyneux. | ||
| Yeah, you've been... | ||
| Of course, possessed by psychotic, freaky sex demons. | ||
| Indeed, which led me to watch a guy stare into a camera and say stupid shit, vis-a-vis watching Stefan Molyneux. | ||
| But as I was watching, I started to remember how he likes to sue people who use his content, even in sort of fair use contexts. | ||
| And so I'm like, I don't want to fuck with this. | ||
| We'll probably never end up covering Stefan Molyneux, even if we're well within our rights to cover it. | ||
| I still just don't want the headache. | ||
| But I found... | ||
| He's pretty obsessed with pop culture. | ||
| And I watched a pretty long video where he very poorly breaks down the show Lost. | ||
| Of particular import to you. | ||
| Yeah, and I also found one where he is talking about how great Inception is. | ||
| A lot of movie reviews on Stefan Molyneux's page. | ||
| And that leads us to this next clip, which is from Reverend Manning. | ||
| What I'm trying to get at is a lot of these guys love pop culture, but they're really mad at it because it doesn't reflect what they want it to reflect. | ||
| And so they spend a lot of their time with these really high-minded things, like Reverend Manning thinks he's saving the world with Jesus, but also he needs to take time out of his day to curse Lena Dunham. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I want to do something here. | ||
| Is he literally going to curse Lena Dunham? | ||
| In the place of those of us who stand to represent those of us who believe that this is worse than abominable. | ||
| What did he just say? | ||
| It's worse than abominable. | ||
| Abominable. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Abominable. | |
| Okay. | ||
| I heard like Obama Boone. | ||
| He might. | ||
| I thought he was referencing some sort of awful thing. | ||
| That's probably me. | ||
| He's talking about when Lena Dunham hosted SNL. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| So that's in context. | ||
| That wasn't great. | ||
| I couldn't find the raw footage of this, so I had to take it from a YouTube video that put some music behind it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| So that's why there's a little bit of, there's some swelling. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It does add to it. | ||
| I love the music. | ||
| The music makes it. | ||
| The curses of the Old Testament. | ||
| To curse you with the diseases. | ||
| curse you that your organs that you displayed which should not have been displayed such as your breast and your vagina would both be filled Whoa! | ||
| Whoa! | ||
| For showing them? | ||
| And B. Jesus! | ||
| But the cancer in your breast and the cancer in your vagina would burn. | ||
| And you would never know any peace. | ||
| Or any peace. | ||
| This is thorough. | ||
| I curse you with that curse. | ||
| This is a thorough curse. | ||
| And to Saturday Night Live, who are allowing people to mock the word of God, all the producers, and all of your female daughters, nears. | ||
| Really don't need to point them out specifically. | ||
| He's crazy. | ||
| Not them particularly? | ||
| In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. | ||
| And I bind you under the power of the authority that Almighty God has given in the earth to those that believe him and will preach his gospel as he did to Peter there at Caesarea Philippi. | ||
| I curse and bind you there at Saturday Night Live for mocking the word of God. | ||
| And ye shall see these curses and these cancers come upon all the limit. | ||
| and for the means Uh-oh. | ||
| The men are getting cursed, too. | ||
| I was... | ||
| I mean, I guess I was worried that he was sexist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Reverend Manning is a lot of things. | ||
| But in this case, he's cursing everybody. | ||
| Does he know that Jesus isn't like a... | ||
| Never mind. | ||
| Has he read the Bible? | ||
| May your organs be filled with emroids. | ||
| Your testicles become as rocks. | ||
| And every time you walk... | ||
| People will know that you are cursed because they will hear the sound of the rocks coming from between your legs as your testicles are the now rocks. | ||
| Wait, dudes are cursed with noisy balls? | ||
| There's no place that you can go. | ||
| Women have cancers all over them, but dudes have noisy balls? | ||
| Some sort of a garment or instrument that would deafen the sound of the rocks of your testicles as you walk. | ||
| This is a thorough curse. | ||
| And everyone will know that you have participated in the mocking of God's word. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
By using these loose sexual statements out of your own devoutry to curse the beauty of God, his creation, and the man and wife relationship that God Almighty has put into the earth. | |
| Be you cursed with emirates. | ||
| And the sound of the rocks between your legs as you walk. | ||
| I'm James David Madden. | ||
| That's all the men that have participated in the Saturday Night Live and have profited from it as well. | ||
| I am the Lord's servant. | ||
| Boy! | ||
| I know a couple people who work at SNL. | ||
| Their balls aren't rocks. | ||
| Yeah, no. | ||
| This curse did not work. | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| I haven't... | ||
| Like, leaned in close to listen to their balls, so they may... | ||
| Maybe his curse was, like, just a medium curse, and it's like you have to be within a certain distance or something like that. | ||
| That could be. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| So that was long, and I feel a little weird about playing that whole clip, but I wanted to demonstrate, like... | ||
| Hey man, you didn't like SNL and you spent that long improv-ing a curse. | ||
| An Old Testament curse. | ||
| Oh, that was not improv. | ||
| That was well written in advance. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| From the vibe that I get from listening to Reverend Manning, I think he's riffing. | ||
| You think he's off the dome? | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| I think he's just making shit up. | ||
| He's really got it. | ||
| I mean, he is in keeping with the Bible in that women have this horrifying, terrible curse upon them and men are just like... | ||
| People, when they see you, they're going to know you were a dick. | ||
| Your balls are loud. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it's weird. | ||
| And I think that the preoccupation with pop culture is something so weird in this world because it's very universal. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Manning is obsessed with cursing Lena Dunham. | ||
| You know, you got Alex Jones complains about... | ||
| Pop culture all the fucking time. | ||
| Stefan Molyneux does all these fucking reviews on his show. | ||
| It's everywhere. | ||
| Because it's not theirs. | ||
| They don't control it. | ||
| They feel it's completely run by the other side. | ||
| Someone like Chris Cantwell would obviously be like, it's the Jews doing it. | ||
| Other people are just like, it's the Fabian socialists, or it's the left. | ||
| With our boy Manning, it's pretty much just women. | ||
| It is, but it's also like so many of them are failed stand-ups, too. | ||
| True, true. | ||
| People like a Gavin. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's like all of them try, because they don't understand or have any concept of humor or... | ||
| Carrie Cassidy was in Hollywood. | ||
| She had a screenplay that didn't work out. | ||
| Couldn't do it. | ||
| And also the pilot didn't work out. | ||
| Alex always talks about how they were going to make him a big movie star. | ||
| Pretends he doesn't want it, but obviously he wanted it. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| So, yeah, most of these people have failed show business in their past. | ||
| Yeah, they take everything real personally. | ||
| It's kind of like their entire world is a person... | ||
| Like, what they're against is a personification of their own failure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, that explains how they're fighting ghosts and shit like that. | ||
| Yeah, pretty much. | ||
| And their need to blame their failure on every other person that's ever lived. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, on our last time, we talked about Reverend Manning. | ||
| I believe he was on the New Year's Eve episode in 2015. | ||
| I think that's the one we covered him on. | ||
| December 31st, 2015. | ||
| So if you want to go back and listen to that, you can hear a little more of this dickhole. | ||
| He was talking about how, you know, how Starbucks... | ||
| Was putting semen in people's lattes. | ||
| Yes, yes. | ||
| They did that to turn them gay. | ||
| Right, because gays have more fun and gays ingest semen. | ||
| And by ingesting semen, you become gay. | ||
| That's just science. | ||
| Maybe, maybe not. | ||
| That is unclear if that's his conviction. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Yes, we do need to be fair. | ||
| But what you should know is there was some backlash from that, and people blogged about how he's really dumb and saying that they put animal semen in the lattes because it's gay agenda. | ||
| Reverend Manning does not back down from mockery. | ||
| He doubles down. | ||
| Oh, of course! | ||
| And so here's what he has to say about people critiquing his claims that Starbucks is putting semen in lattes. | ||
| Are we going line by line? | ||
| I say to you, go to hell. | ||
| Or, let's go to court. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| You either go to hell or less go to court. | ||
| But I've got something here. | ||
| I'm on to something. | ||
| I've got Starbucks by the keisters. | ||
| They're noisy balls. | ||
| 50 million people have heard my voice and have seen me or heard my writings and statements regarding Starbucks and semen in their lattes. | ||
| So that's my salvo that I'm firing over the bowel of the Starbucks. | ||
| Coffee Enterprise. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And if you're drinking Starbucks, watch out. | ||
| If you're a woman, you might get pregnant by drinking Starbucks because they've got some pretty potent semen in that drink. | ||
| How do you know that? | ||
| Go home and tell your husband you're pregnant. | ||
| He said, but we have sexual intercourse. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In years! | |
| That's a bad marriage. | ||
| Where did you get pregnant? | ||
| Is it an immaculate conception? | ||
| Hey, some people just like the company, Dan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| It was one of Starbucks lattes that impregnated you. | ||
| Me? | ||
| I'm James David Manning, everybody. | ||
| I'm the Lord's servant. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Alright, now that's not fair. | ||
| That's not fair. | ||
| What's not fair? | ||
| Because now I don't know if he's fucking with me or not. | ||
| I think this is trolling. | ||
| Yeah, he's fucking with you. | ||
| There's no way that he's not fucking with you. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I think that there are some instances of him trolling, and I think that's one of them. | ||
| Because I don't think anybody's... | ||
| No matter how stupid you are, you aren't going to make the claim that drinking semen gets you pregnant or something like that. | ||
| You would hope. | ||
| This is something where he made this claim. | ||
| I think he made the semen and the lattes comment seriously. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That was serious. | ||
| That was some of his homophobia coming out and shit like that. | ||
| But he got so much attention for it. | ||
| Like, the people were making fun of him on The Young Turks. | ||
| All these blogs, Huffington Post was writing about how this dum-dum is saying they're putting semen in lattes. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| And so I think that this is him trolling, trying to keep that attention going. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| So I agree with you. | ||
| There are a couple instances where it's like... | ||
| Yeah, I mean, this is funny, but he's trying to be funny. | ||
| Yeah, when he's in on the joke, it's not as fun. | ||
| It's not as satisfying, but at the same time, how do you not give a follow-up on the scene? | ||
| Oh yeah, that's great. | ||
| It's very important as a narrative. | ||
| No, you gotta do it. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| I now, especially now that he's mentioned Lena Dunham, I immediately think of Open Mike Eagle's lyric, I looked up what Lena Dunham said and I shouldn't have, and now we need to, somebody tweeted Open Mike to update that to David Manning. | ||
| There's a real interesting sort of overlap of people who can't ally at all, but it is a weird sort of similarity that most people on the left don't like Linda Dunham that much either. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nah! | |
| So it is a strange thing. | ||
| So, Jordan? | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| I told you. | ||
| This guy, this Manning guy? | ||
| What about him? | ||
| Does not like white people. | ||
| I'm fine with that. | ||
| We're in agreement there. | ||
| Also, like I said, does not like black people. | ||
| And in this next clip... | ||
| He is so awful to black people. | ||
| Like, in a way that is... | ||
| It's comical on one level, but also, like... | ||
| Deeply, deeply troubling. | ||
| And I believe that he's speaking from the pulpit again. | ||
| That's really not a good thing. | ||
| But we got a problem. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Black people got a problem. | |
| Now, we can move to colorblindness and always look at the man by the content of his character, never the color of his skin. | ||
| I'm down for that. | ||
| Are you? | ||
| Is this the I'm not a racist butt of churches? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We need to hear some truth. | |
| Black people and white folk. | ||
| Black people got a problem. | ||
| I don't want to know what it is. | ||
| I don't want to know what it is. | ||
| When black people see the world, I don't care. | ||
| You can train them. | ||
| You can train a black man to be a physician. | ||
| You can train them to be an astrophysicist. | ||
| You can train them to be a lawyer. | ||
| I don't like that. | ||
| But you can't train him to understand the world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He doesn't know. | |
| I'm telling you. | ||
| There's not two cents worth of difference between a mass murderer, there's not two cents worth of difference between a petty thief that's locked away in prison than a black doctor when it comes to understanding the world. | ||
| Listen, you listen to me. | ||
| I have no idea what he's talking about. | ||
| That's nice. | ||
| And we need to begin to acknowledge it, talk about it, ask God to help us because only God can help black people where they are. | ||
| Black people had Africa, that big old continent over there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That big old continent. | |
| That was seaworthy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not one. | |
| That is not even close to true. | ||
| There's not one monument in Africa, in all of Africa. | ||
| That's an insane thing to say. | ||
| Egypt is not Africa. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Yes, it is! | ||
| What? | ||
| There are no great cities that were built. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Egypt is not Africa. | |
| Even before the first colonization of white people. | ||
| That's not true! | ||
| Coming to the shores of Africa or the slave ships, black men built nothing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's not true either! | |
| No system, no houses above one level, and none of them made out of stone. | ||
| All of them made out of grass and wood. | ||
| Why didn't he say mud? | ||
| They don't have mud in Africa. | ||
| That's the first thing he learned in wherever he learned bullshit from. | ||
| So that's crazy. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Some of the vocal flourishes are a little amusing, but like, man, that is some ahistorical bullshit. | ||
| Like, I'm gonna allow him. | ||
| The idea that Egypt isn't part of Africa. | ||
| I don't agree with him, but I'm going to allow it for the sake of this beatdown I'm about to deliver to. | ||
| Okay, alright. | ||
| I was going to say, I was about to start bringing up historical examples, but now that you got it in front of you, hell yeah. | ||
| Does he count Carthage? | ||
| Because the Carthaginian Empire was a very legit naval power back in the day, boasting a fleet of at least 350 ships as early as 256 BCE. | ||
| Not part of Africa. | ||
| According to historian Polybius. | ||
| But Carthage is located in modern Tunisia, and I would bet that Manning would say that North Africa doesn't count. | ||
| Not part of Africa. | ||
| Tunisia isn't Africa. | ||
| It's the Mediterranean. | ||
| Not part of Africa. | ||
| That's what I would guess he'd say. | ||
| In any case, we should probably just look as far south as we can go. | ||
| Interestingly, fish remains have been found at sites like Blombos Cave in South Africa that date back to approximately 70,000 BCE, which indicates that folks there were able to catch fish in the Stone Age. | ||
| South Africa is not part of Africa. | ||
| This evidence contradicted the prevailing theory that the inhabitants of the area at the time were incapable of using sea resources. | ||
| Though that's a remarkable piece of archaeology, Manning would probably try and insist that there's no evidence they used boats. | ||
| That was ancient white people who had those boats. | ||
| So his point still stands, according to him, I assume. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| To give you some sort of an idea of how stupid Reverend Manning is, all I need to do is point out the Dufuna canoe, which was discovered in 1987. | ||
| The canoe was found in Nigeria, and radiocarbon dating is placed the age at between 8,500 and 8,000 years old. | ||
| That time frame places the Dufuna canoe as the second oldest boat that's ever been found in the entire world, a full 4,000 years older than any existing boats that we have from Egypt. | ||
| See, that's how awful black people are. | ||
| They built their boats too soon, Dan! | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And that doesn't even take into account that, like, Ethiopia had trade routes going to Southeast Asia. | ||
| I know! | ||
| The whole... | ||
| The whole fucking thing is insane! | ||
| It's nonsense. | ||
| Actually, over Thanksgiving. | ||
| I love that brag. | ||
| I'm sorry, I don't mean to interrupt you. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| But I love the brag because also there's another video where people have been complaining that I said Africans didn't have boats. | ||
| They had a whole lot of coastline and like I said, no boats. | ||
| He's like doubling down on it. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| My dad over the holiday literally said Bill Clinton was the first president to not have any military service. | ||
| And I actually left the room. | ||
| I was like, that's an insane thing to say! | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| That's crazy! | ||
| But you make these pronouncements bravely and boldly enough, you're going to trick a lot of stupid people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| A lot of people are going to be like, yeah, that feels right. | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| Why do Africans have boats? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Come on. | |
| So stupid. | ||
| Now, to the question of monuments. | ||
| I'm going to talk about this a little bit. | ||
| There are so many monuments! | ||
| There are a ton. | ||
| There are a million monuments! | ||
| But most of the ones that come to people's minds... | ||
| Like, when you think about it, are things like the Sphinx and the pyramids and stuff like that. | ||
| Ozymandias or Ozymandamus, if you will. | ||
| Sure, or the ziggurats, but then you realize, oh, that was like in Iraq and shit like that. | ||
| That's not in Africa, what do you say? | ||
| But since he's insistent that Egypt isn't Africa, I'll enter the battlefield he wants to prepare for us. | ||
| I'll play on his terms. | ||
| Even with that caveat, he is full of shit. | ||
| For example, we have the Bietmandane Alum. | ||
| Boy, my pronunciation is no good. | ||
| Don't worry about it. | ||
| It's the largest monolithic rock-cut church in the world, located in Ethiopia. | ||
| It was built during the Kingdom of Exum, which places its construction between 100 and 940 A.D. Or, there's the walls of Benin, which began building them in about 800 A.D., and they covered over 9,000 miles, which is longer than the Great Wall of China at the time. | ||
| The following is from an article in The Guardian. | ||
| Quote, In 1691, Lurinko Pinta, a Portuguese captain who had visited the capital of Benin, wrote, Quote, Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon. | ||
| All the streets run straight, and as far as the eye can see, the houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. | ||
| The city is wealthy and industrious. | ||
| It's so well governed that theft is unknown, and the people live in such security that they have no doors on their houses. | ||
| In contrast, London at the time is described by Bruce Halsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of, quote, thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery, and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for the exploitation by those with the skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket. | ||
| Soft yes on the white genocide. | ||
| Then there's Timbuktu in Mali, those considered a precious intellectual and spiritual center dating back to at least the 12th century. | ||
| The city contained many mosques now protected as world historical sites, the university at Sankor, as well as just tons of non-one-story buildings. | ||
| There's plenty more examples, but this should make it pretty clear that African history is much richer and more full of impressive accomplishment than most people are willing to accept. | ||
| One of the issues is just prejudice, but it goes a little bit deeper than that, and the case of Benin City really illustrates why. | ||
| Benin City was designed mathematically, with an emphasis on symmetry. | ||
| They designed based on a fractal design, where patterns would repeat on smaller and larger scales. | ||
| The city as a whole had a design that was mirrored in the cluster of houses. | ||
| So the city, then a cluster of houses, and then that would be mirrored again in the houses themselves, the rooms within the house. | ||
| Mathematician Ron Iglish puts it this way, quote, That the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics they hadn't even discovered yet. | ||
| Why would it? | ||
| They're white, Dan! | ||
| Places like Benin City reached what we would call the Renaissance before the West and boasted deeply complex civic structure as well as public patronage of artists and craftsmen. | ||
| Spoiler alert, Benin City was destroyed. | ||
| And its decline, quote, began in the 15th century, sparked by internal conflicts linked to the increasing European intrusion and slave trade at the borders of the Benin Empire. | ||
| In 1897, the British burned the city to the ground, and with it went much of the history and the monuments of the once great city greater than the West. | ||
| Well, not all of it, actually. | ||
| A selection of bronze sculptures from Benin were taken and are now housed at the British Museum in London, an example of how the West is still robbing Africa, even of the opportunity to make tourism income on its own past. | ||
| Dan, you know what? | ||
| My point is that Manning is so wrong. | ||
| I would even go so far as to say that maybe we don't talk about this or learn about it and instead learn about how superior the white man is because the white man... | ||
| I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that they want to control history to make them look as good as possible and then justify their behaviors. | ||
| Well, the idea of this great city that was really well-run and very safe and thriving, it had a trade, there were resources there that were managed and everyone was happy for the most part. | ||
| The idea that... | ||
| Oh, yeah, that quickly deteriorated because of European intrusion. | ||
| Because of white people. | ||
| Yeah, you don't want to teach that sort of thing, but the lessons are important. | ||
| For example, like, just, what was it, last week that dude went over to the tribe and got hit with arrows and died? | ||
| Yeah, and I'm fine with that. | ||
| I think most people are. | ||
| But that sort of thing is the thing that could have been avoided with the lessons of history. | ||
| That sort of thing. | ||
| You probably think that you're going in doing something good, but what you're actually doing is you're risking a genocide, basically. | ||
| And not to say that Portuguese people showing up at Benin was going to risk a genocide or anything like that, but their actions led to the destruction of the entire... | ||
| I mean, the worst phrase in history is, and then the white man came. | ||
| Right, or even... | ||
| Like, it's the worst phrase in history. | ||
| Any history book you read and then the white man came doesn't go, and everything was better. | ||
| It goes, and then they fucking killed everybody. | ||
| You could sort of... | ||
| Band that out to, like, the colonialists came, but most of the time they were white. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| So it's kind of a moot point. | ||
| But I think it takes it outside of the realm of, like, where you're going to trigger people with white identity issues. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Well, they can go fuck themselves. | ||
| Fine, but... | ||
| Sorry, sorry. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| I don't mean that. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| But maybe a better way to look at it that won't have the... | ||
| The external appearance of anti-white sentiment is the idea that when these colonialists came, they did what they meant to do, and it ruined everything. | ||
| It ruined a well-established city like Benin City. | ||
| There's no way around it. | ||
| Wait. | ||
| And so white people went to someplace and decided to impose their culture because they assumed that everybody there was acting differently and thus therefore savages. | ||
| And because they misunderstood the organization that was there that did work. | ||
| And wound up destroying it. | ||
| Now, everybody, of course, has learned their lesson from that history and we don't continue to do that to this day. | ||
| Right, Dan? | ||
| No, we do and we defend it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Great. | |
| Good work, everybody! | ||
| That is just a demonstration of... | ||
| Reverend Manning knows nothing about African history, and he's demonizing black people because of his misunderstanding of African history. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's cool. | |
| I didn't know that. | ||
| I didn't know about the fractal... | ||
| Yeah, it's super cool. | ||
| I've read a lot about... | ||
| African history is so intricately tied up with math. | ||
| That's a big, big part. | ||
| Natural math. | ||
| Yeah, and the fractal structure of a city is incredible. | ||
| We should really learn more about that. | ||
| I mean, it's not something that's not taught, but you kind of have to look for it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which is kind of the disappointing part. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| It really nails home that, you know, anytime somebody's like, well, why don't we have a White History Month? | ||
| And you're like, well, every month is White History Month. | ||
| One story. | ||
| That story is so cool of a city that's built out of a fractured structure? | ||
| Or a fractal structure? | ||
| That's fucking cool! | ||
| There's so much more to it, too. | ||
| There's more than I can get into in terms of where my understanding and expertise fall off the cliff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| But yeah, Benin is really interesting. | ||
| You could just take the idea of that fucking 9,000 mile long wall that they built and be like, huh. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's fucked up. | ||
| Why don't we know about that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Isn't that really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you can just go from there, and there's so much. | ||
| God, white people really fucked everything up. | ||
| And the Portuguese. | ||
| Anyway, this next clip. | ||
| This? | ||
| This should be your first indication that Reverend Manning, if you, up till this point, if you're, I don't know how it's possible, but if you're thinking, this guy's fun. | ||
| Oh, do you mean that anti-black tirade that he just went on? | ||
| After that, I'm like, eh, this guy, he's got a flair to him. | ||
| Am I just thinking he's a little bit dumb and goofy, maybe? | ||
| He's a bit of a wackadoo cat, I'll tell you that. | ||
| This next clip should give you cause for pause and start to think about, like, uh-oh. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| I want to do something here. | ||
| I don't want you to. | ||
| That is a bit of a repentance. | ||
| Stop! | ||
| He's going to repent. | ||
| I want him to not. | ||
| Here's what I want to do. | ||
| The other day, I was talking about who I was talking about, and I was not going to come up the hard way, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| And I had this deal with this guy. | ||
| This is a parable? | ||
| A small-time Italian mobster, right? | ||
| How do you know that? | ||
| And so, you know, he owed me $20,000. | ||
| I thought he was trying to get away with it. | ||
| And he didn't want to pay me. | ||
| He was acting all funny. | ||
| I called him. | ||
| He wouldn't answer the phone. | ||
| I called him for two weeks. | ||
| He wouldn't pick up the phone. | ||
| He wouldn't call me back, so I went over there with a shotgun. | ||
| What? | ||
| And I put it in his mouth. | ||
| What? | ||
| And I was young then. | ||
| I was angry. | ||
| And then I took it out of his mouth. | ||
| I told him I wanted to taste that still. | ||
| And I put it in the mouth of his secretary with his slobber on it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Why does he have a secretary? | ||
| I want them to feel fear. | ||
| I thought that if I did that, it would make them feel fear. | ||
| Well, now, you know, a lot of people listen to that. | ||
| Pull up! | ||
| And so I want to, I was not right. | ||
| I did. | ||
| I want to repent if I haven't done this. | ||
| I don't know if they're still alive. | ||
| I don't know if they are. | ||
| If they're aged back then. | ||
| This has been over 40 years ago. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| That was Dan to Grand Prix, actually. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But I can tell you this. | ||
| Some say, well, you're all right to put it in his mouth, but why'd you put it in the woman's mouth? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who said that? | |
| I pulled it out of his mouth and told him to go get my money and I put it in her mouth. | ||
| I want him to see it while he's going to get my money. | ||
| You know, it was mean. | ||
| It was mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was just mean. | |
| A lot of people say, well, you know, she was a woman. | ||
| Let me tell you something. | ||
| That woman was a mobster woman. | ||
| She didn't have no compunction about killing nobody. | ||
| She would kill just like he would. | ||
| So she don't get no mercy just because she's a woman. | ||
| I really thought he was repenting here? | ||
| I was wrong. | ||
| I really don't think you are. | ||
| I really don't think you are. | ||
| Let me tell you this. | ||
| I don't want anybody to misunderstand me. | ||
| I got the sword of David in my hand. | ||
| That's what I was talking about the other day. | ||
| And I got bloody hands. | ||
| Not only from there, but I would take... | ||
| If the Lord orders me into battle now and put a sword in the mouth of a person right now, I'll do it. | ||
| I thought you were repenting here. | ||
| I wasn't saved then. | ||
| I was just a young hoodlum running the street, crazy as I could possibly be. | ||
| Oh, you still are crazy. | ||
| But God does order his servants to take the sword into the hearts of people. | ||
| Now, if God tells me to put the sword, I don't want anybody to misunderstand me by my repenting to think that somehow or another I've gone soft. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| No, uh-uh. | ||
| If God tells me to take the sword and put it in your mouth, I will do it. | ||
| Now, he didn't tell me to put that shotgun in that man's mouth or that woman. | ||
| No, he didn't tell me to do that. | ||
| But now, I don't want anybody to misunderstand, but I figure if I, you know, for some things I can straighten out, you know, there's a need I need to repent, I'll do that. | ||
| I ain't above that. | ||
| I'm more scared now. | ||
| I'm so much more scared. | ||
| That was not a repentance. | ||
| That was, I put a shotgun in these people's mouths, and look, God didn't tell me to do that. | ||
| For the wrong reason. | ||
| God didn't tell me to do that, but if I do think he is, I will still kill you. | ||
| I don't want people to think I've gone soft now that I'm a fucking pastor. | ||
| You know what I want my pastor? | ||
| The willingness to murder. | ||
| Because of his ideas of what God is telling you to do. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That's safety. | ||
| We've already demonstrated he knows nothing. | ||
| That makes me safe. | ||
| Yeah, God wants him to curse the writers of SNL with stone balls. | ||
| Stone balls. | ||
| And their women and children with cancers. | ||
| That make it burn. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I don't... | ||
| This guy's a bad dude. | ||
| That's really fucking scary. | ||
| Who ordained this guy? | ||
| Oh, I think he's self-ordained. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| We know that he's a doctor, and he gave himself that doctor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, that's true. | |
| So that's a little... | ||
| That is the worst repentance I think I've ever heard in my entire life. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| Yeah, that's bad. | ||
| And he's in the pulpit, right? | ||
| No, this is him sitting at his webcam. | ||
| This is like the Manning Report. | ||
| He does these video blogs that are complete lunacy. | ||
| I want to be in his church so bad. | ||
| I would go to that church. | ||
| I will fly to... | ||
| I assume he's at... | ||
| Where's he at? | ||
| New York? | ||
| He's in the Bronx. | ||
| No, he's in Harlem. | ||
| He's in Harlem. | ||
| He's in Harlem? | ||
| I will fly to Harlem every Sunday to attend your church. | ||
| Well, I should tell you this. | ||
| He has been kicked off of YouTube. | ||
| Oh, for why? | ||
| Hateful screams. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| I can't imagine him. | ||
| The banning has not taken. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Because his old channel was called Atla, which is the name of his church. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, okay. | |
| A-T-L-A-H. | ||
| All the land anointed holy. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So that was his old channel. | ||
| And now... | ||
| So he's just on his old channel. | ||
| No, he's created a new channel that just replaces the A in Atla, the first one, with an H. And he's just posting like normal now. | ||
| Look, YouTube. | ||
| If you get outsmarted by David Manning, you deserve every curse that comes to you. | ||
| So also, that's part of me saying that if the audience likes this episode and they would like us to continue looking into James David Manning, he has a lot of sermons that I can find, so there is material that we could cover him. | ||
| That is a possibility. | ||
| I will tell you this. | ||
| Our sign-off will not this time be... | ||
| Reverend David Manning didn't kill a guy, but I know... | ||
| No, because the answer there is... | ||
| Probably killed a guy. | ||
| Reverend David Manning probably killed a guy. | ||
| Yeah, probably killed a woman, too. | ||
| We'll have to go with Lena Dunham. | ||
| Jesus Christ! | ||
| Yeah, it's crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What is this? | |
| Oh, boy. | ||
| This dude is fucking out there, man. | ||
| And it's wackier than you think. | ||
| It is wild! | ||
| Because you know how Alex Jones sells these weird pills and stuff. | ||
| And now, you know, Ben Shapiro's also in the pharmaceuticals game. | ||
| Does Manning sell truck nuts? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| This is less about selling something. | ||
| Reverend Manning fancies himself a bit of a healer. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| He sells personalized healing, doesn't he? | ||
| Not really. | ||
| Like, from a distance, he'll pray for you or some shit, right? | ||
| It's a bit more complicated than that. | ||
| Oh, of course. | ||
| But I didn't... | ||
| Realize this, and I think it might be sort of a newer addition to his preaching repertoire, because when I looked into him last time, I did not hear him talking about curing everything. | ||
| Oh, he can cure everything? | ||
| Pretty much everything. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And in this first clip, he yells about diabetes. | ||
| This dude has powers. | ||
| He hates diabetes. | ||
| I imagine why. | ||
| Don't go out. | ||
| In this stressful time, because there's more stress and more people realize what's happening politically, what's happening racially, what's happening economically, what's happening spiritually, that people don't realize that they're under stress, that don't realize how much stress they're under, and you can have a stroke. | ||
| And God don't want you to have the stroke, but you're going to have to listen to his defense mechanism. | ||
| And he sent me to prevent stroke. | ||
| He sent me to prevent heart attacks in his loved ones. | ||
| He sent me to heal cancer and diabetes. | ||
| I'm particularly against diabetes. | ||
| I've risen to the level where I'm ready to fight diabetes. | ||
| I've risen to the diabetes fighting level. | ||
| Is he a Scientologist? | ||
| I am against diabetes. | ||
| Let it be known. | ||
| Does he have a mustache? | ||
| Put it on billboards. | ||
| Write it on the side of milk cartons that James David Manning is against diabetes. | ||
| And I want diabetes to know. | ||
| And I also want diabetes to know that I've never baked bread and I'll never be defeated. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I've never baked bread? | |
| I can defeat diabetes. | ||
| I'm not going to let... | ||
| I don't have diabetes. | ||
| You totally have diabetes. | ||
| I don't have it. | ||
| Yes, you do. | ||
| But I'm going to defeat it. | ||
| I want you to know that. | ||
| Back now to the little numerological thing that we would get through. | ||
| No! | ||
| Wait, he goes from I'm going to cure diabetes single-handedly and the people who love God too. | ||
| Let's get back into numerology. | ||
| I should tell you that this is in the middle of a video that he posted where he's going to explain the blood moons. | ||
| Okay! | ||
| Where he just got sidetracked talking about how he's going to fight diabetes. | ||
| Of course, of course. | ||
| I watched this whole hour-long video like, what are you going to say about the blood moon? | ||
| Mostly, I can cure diabetes once God gives me the tools. | ||
| For now, I can cure strokes and heart attacks. | ||
| But I don't have diabetes. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| It's fine. | ||
| I don't know why you're defensive about it, but I've never baked bread! | ||
| I'm not going to say that this is his official nickname, but I'm going to start calling him Black Brimley from now on. | ||
| He doesn't have a mustache, does he? | ||
| I'm picturing him in my head, and I can see him with and without a mustache. | ||
| He needs a mustache. | ||
| He spiritually has a mustache. | ||
| Yes, absolutely. | ||
| So that was his sort of wrestling shoot promo on diabetes. | ||
| Fuck you, Diabetes. | ||
| You and I are going to show up at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. | ||
| I'm going to give you the rock bottom. | ||
| He warned Diabetes as if it was aware. | ||
| And a person. | ||
| So does he believe Diabetes is an entity that has consciousness? | ||
| I think so, yes. | ||
| It's short for Diambetes. | ||
| Princess Diane Beatties. | ||
| He's Dr. D. Beatties. | ||
| Yeah, he does really feel like it's personified to an extent that I'm not comfortable with. | ||
| Does he know what Diane Beatties even is? | ||
| Well, this is one of these things. | ||
| I mean, I'm sure he does. | ||
| It's not even like... | ||
| It's not even like it is a bacteria or something like that. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| But this is one of those things that really illustrates that I think that we have someone with a deteriorated mental state to some extent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| And that's one of the things I should say, is one of the other options in terms of another Wacky Wednesday show to cover is Jesse Lee Peterson. | ||
| And I'm not going to cover his show. | ||
| He is a guy who is a real Trumpy asshole radio show guy. | ||
| But the way he speaks leads me to believe that he has absolutely had a stroke, and he has, like, diminished functioning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| Like, it seems like he's handicapped. | ||
| Yeah, if you like Trump, you also have diminished functioning. | ||
| Well, but if you watched, like, five minutes of this, you'd be like, oh, no, no, no, we can't talk about this. | ||
| This is embarrassing. | ||
| Whereas Manning, I think there's something wrong with the way his brain works. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But it's not Jesse Lee Peterson. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Or Jesse Lee Peterson. | ||
| Worrying. | ||
| Worrying. | ||
| Like, it's elder abuse to talk about Jesse Lee Peterson, whereas Manning... | ||
| And by the end of this, you will encourage any anger that anyone has against. | ||
| Manning has that mental illness the same way that Alex has clear paranoid schizophrenic tendencies. | ||
| Yes, for sure. | ||
| Where it's like, Manning, you're fucking crazy, but you're sane enough for us to clown on you happily. | ||
| Right. | ||
| All history of Africa is nothing until the white man came. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's upsetting. | ||
| I really wish people would be forced to learn history. | ||
| Do you know what I mean? | ||
| It would be nice. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| Reverend Manning. | ||
| Diabetes is on his list. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Lena Dunham. | ||
| Diabetes. | ||
| Africa. | ||
| Africa. | ||
| Also, the producers and writers of SNL. | ||
| Suspiciously. | ||
| Not the daytime players. | ||
| Also, gay demons. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gay demons. | |
| That Obama has unleashed. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Those are bad. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, that last one was about diabetes. | ||
| Now, he explains how he can protect you and your loved ones from strokes. | ||
| I want to talk about the fact, and I'm coming back to this. | ||
| I'm going to deal with this more tomorrow at the pulpit of power. | ||
| He's talking about the blood moons. | ||
| Yes, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Sabbath worship. | ||
| This is, to date where we are right now, we're Friday. | ||
| This is Sabbath. | ||
| That's what most people call Friday. | ||
| We want to look and teach about the fact that we could see Jesus in the next two and a half to three years. | ||
| So let me recant here today. | ||
| Like in a museum? | ||
| Then I have to do the teaching of 70, 71, and 76. I've got to pause there real quick. | ||
| What that is talking about is all the information that I got about the blood moons are... | ||
| He was staying in a hotel in Indianapolis. | ||
| Alright, alright. | ||
| That's all I needed to hear. | ||
| And those three numbers, 70, 73, 76, I believe, were the highways that he drove on. | ||
| And he's describing some sort of metaphysical... | ||
| They're all sevens. | ||
| He's creating some sort of importance out of it. | ||
| And he never explains what he's talking about. | ||
| Just 70, 73, 76. Those are highways. | ||
| He's just talking about his driving route. | ||
| So 911. | ||
| That's as high level. | ||
| The three sevens. | ||
| The 70, the 71, and the 76. We'll get to that. | ||
| That'll probably happen sometime. | ||
| We'll get to it. | ||
| I-70 is one of the biggest highways in the Midwest. | ||
| Yeah, there are a lot of... | ||
| Driving on I-70 is no big deal. | ||
| A lot of those routes are numerical. | ||
| As a way of organizing them. | ||
| So there are plenty of places where you will get Route 16, Route 18, and Route 19. That's not like triple ones means a lot. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| And not too distant future here on the teaching of the Trust in the Lord Hour. | ||
| That's another one of the shows. | ||
| The Trust in the Lord Hour? | ||
| How long do you have to trust in the Lord? | ||
| Forever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| The blood moon appeared. | ||
| God had already kept me in the room for an hour at the State Bridge Hotel. | ||
| He earlier was talking about... | ||
| God had kept him in the room for an hour. | ||
| I think this is buzz marketing for the State Bridge Hotel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| He brings up the name of it like 20 times. | ||
| It's either he's bragging like it's a good hotel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is it? | |
| I'm not sure. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| Or he has a little bit of an ad revenue coming in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hold up. | |
| But he brings up how he got stuck talking to the Holy Spirit like God was talking to him in the hotel room. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Otherwise known as a diabetic coma. | ||
| Or he slept in, I don't know. | ||
| So anyway, he's driving down 80, which is another highway. | ||
| It bums me out that this is a major plot point. | ||
| That he sees the blood moon. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And here's what God tells him. | ||
| And told me to tell everybody, and you need to tell everybody, that you don't want to find yourself getting dizzy. | ||
| And having, yeah, something like that, right? | ||
| There you go. | ||
| And you don't want to find yourself getting dizzy. | ||
| You don't want to. | ||
| And having a stroke while driving your car. | ||
| That's a bad thing. | ||
| Let's say, for instance, you're getting ready to get in your car, right? | ||
| And then you get dizzy. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe you live in Atlanta. | ||
| You drive Peachtree. | ||
| Or maybe you live in Los Angeles. | ||
| Interstate 5. I may be living in Las Vegas. | ||
| You're getting ready to drive, Sahara Boulevard. | ||
| Maybe you live in Chicago. | ||
| Lakeshore Drive. | ||
| Name more roads? | ||
| You're getting ready to drive. | ||
| Right in New York City, Fifth Avenue. | ||
| Washington, D.C., 16th Pennsylvania Avenue. | ||
| You thought he wasn't going to. | ||
| How many more roads are we going to talk about? | ||
| And all of a sudden you stop feeling dizzy. | ||
| Dizzy. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And wonder what's happening. | ||
| And then your eyes get blurry. | ||
| Oh, no! | ||
| And next thing you know, you black out. | ||
| A stroke. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| No! | ||
| A stroke! | ||
| If you had listened to the word of God before you got in your car, the way God has instructed, if you listen to the word of God, listen to me teach. | ||
| Now, you can't be listening to these heathens out there, these sweet talkers on Salem Media. | ||
| These boys are hustlers. | ||
| They're trying to build a big ministry. | ||
| I was staying at the State Ridge Hotel when I found that out. | ||
| They're trying to get bigger. | ||
| They ain't trying to save nobody. | ||
| They're just trying to make themselves bigger. | ||
| It is a shame and a scandalous before God what they do. | ||
| At any rate. | ||
| Fair. | ||
| So is what you do. | ||
| Before getting in your car and driving down the beltway, you would not have had that stroke. | ||
| Amen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Amen. | |
| I tell people as well, you can listen while you're sleeping. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| You can put on the report of the... | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| He just tells you to listen in your sleep. | ||
| Okay, hold on one second. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hold on. | |
| This is an advertising strategy you and I never considered. | ||
| I don't want people to do that. | ||
| To everyone listening to our show. | ||
| If you listen to our show while you are listening, you will not have a stroke. | ||
| I promise you that. | ||
| I can't make that promise. | ||
| I can't make that promise either. | ||
| If you listen to his show before you drive, you won't have a stroke in the car. | ||
| You won't have a stroke. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| You don't want to have a stroke while you're sleeping either, so you better listen to it when you go to sleep. | ||
| No, he was saying that you can backload it. | ||
| You can backload it! | ||
| Well, like, if you're going to drive tomorrow, let's say you're going to drive pretty early, you can listen in your sleep and then you'll be safe for the ride. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Which is... | ||
| But also, don't listen to this show even when you go to sleep. | ||
| No, it's a bad idea. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| The idea of any of these things, like, deep, like, going into your subconscious? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| You don't want to backload our show into nothing. | ||
| Because if you wake up the next morning and get in your car, you're going to have a stroke. | ||
| It's possible. | ||
| So, yeah. | ||
| I like this a lot in terms of Manning's evolution, that he's become this guy who's like, if you listen to my show, you will not be sick. | ||
| Which is like, alright buddy, this is going to be a problem when someone has a stroke. | ||
| Like, when your congregation has a stroke, it's going to be tough. | ||
| But that's the trick of Jesus is, uh, nope. | ||
| That's on you. | ||
| You didn't believe in Jesus. | ||
| Done. | ||
| Well, there's that possibility. | ||
| And then what you end up doing, too, is stigmatizing illness. | ||
| So, like, let's say it's not a stroke or something like that. | ||
| Let's say it's cancer. | ||
| You know, whereas a community like a church is a great place to go if you have cancer because there's fellowship. | ||
| There's people who will care about you, maybe cook you meals and stuff like that. | ||
| What his church serves to do is never admit you have cancer because that will be an indication that you haven't been listening to Reverend Manning or something like that. | ||
| So all you do is encourage secrecy and people being ashamed of stuff, which I think is probably a really negative impact. | ||
| But do what you do, Manning. | ||
| Do what you do. | ||
| That is one thing about the church that is, like, no matter how much I am virulently anti-religion, my uncle is in the hospital right now, and the only reason that he, like, survived that night where he was, you know, all of that shit happened was because he called his pastor and his pastor drove him to the hospital. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know, like, fuck yeah. | ||
| There's a real community that is very positive. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Granted, it's a community you could find elsewhere, but why would you ever judge someone for finding it there? | ||
| I think that there's a lot of value to that. | ||
| But the pastor that he drove to the hospital is virulently anti-gay, so it's like, fucking, there's no win! | ||
| It's good news, bad news. | ||
| There's no win! | ||
| So, Reverend Manning is going to punch out diabetes, and if you listen to his show, you won't get a stroke. | ||
| Probably a heart attack also, it's kind of vague. | ||
| What about diabetes? | ||
| He actually has to fight diabetes later. | ||
| He can't prevent it. | ||
| God hasn't given him the tool yet. | ||
| He's going to. | ||
| He's pissed off at diabetes. | ||
| He's at one level. | ||
| Diabetes, you're on notice. | ||
| You better watch out. | ||
| So Jordan, I should tell you that Reverend Manning has found a Bible verse that seems to imply to him that he has found the secret to immortality. | ||
| I don't think he has! | ||
| So here is Reverend Manning selling immortality to his listeners. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| I need you to listen every day. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But I want to show you something here. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I want to show you something. | ||
| I want to show you a certificate. | ||
| From the State Bridge Hotel. | ||
| He pulls out a certificate. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That is a tribulation birth certificate. | ||
| It is one of those certificates you could get at Kinko's. | ||
| Yeah, the template. | ||
| It looks like shit. | ||
| Now, I'm going to show you the Bible basis for this. | ||
| Many of y 'all don't know the Bible, so you don't know what this means. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| All of us not knowing the Bible. | ||
| This is a gold embroidered certificate. | ||
| It's in the Bible. | ||
| Gold-colored border certificate. | ||
| That has the power of this verse that God has given on the 28th. | ||
| You see the 28th? | ||
| The 28th of August to the 28th of September. | ||
| God gave me this revelation of the salvation of the flesh, not the souls. | ||
| Your soul already saved. | ||
| What God's going to do is going to save your soul. | ||
| Save your flesh. | ||
| Your soul is already saved. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Your soul is already washed in the blood. | ||
| Your soul is already cleansed. | ||
| Your soul is already saved. | ||
| I said your soul is already saved. | ||
| It's your flesh that this verse saves. | ||
| Good God Almighty! | ||
| It's your flesh! | ||
| That's some Alex Jones shit right there. | ||
| That God wants to save your flesh. | ||
| He's already saved your soul by the shedding of his blood. | ||
| He wants to save your flesh by the preaching of this verse and he sent me to preach. | ||
| He sent me to preach this verse. | ||
| Yeah, we got it. | ||
| He's already saved your soul! | ||
| We got it! | ||
| We got it! | ||
| Move on! | ||
| What do you mean by that? | ||
| Well, the same way he saved flesh two by two in the days of Noah, he sent me to teach to save your flesh during the tribulation until he comes back again. | ||
| Good God Almighty! | ||
| Good God Almighty! | ||
| And so what I want you to do is you need... | ||
| Does he have a run time? | ||
| ...certificates for your house. | ||
| Now, I said that what you need to do is get the certificate and you need to put it up over your door, you know, over the top of your door. | ||
| The word is door. | ||
| I'm from North Carolina. | ||
| You'll pardon my language. | ||
| So when you walk out your house, you walk out under this certificate to avoid being ran out of a bread truck. | ||
| So this goes on a long time. | ||
| And I'll just tell you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, wait, wait. | |
| So what's up? | ||
| Why is bread figuring so heavily into this? | ||
| When he was fighting diabetes, part of his was, I've never baked bread. | ||
| You might be allergic to gluten. | ||
| You don't want to be run over by a bread truck. | ||
| Seems preoccupied with bread. | ||
| He's got a lot of bread shit going on. | ||
| You might not like that jam band. | ||
| That could be. | ||
| Look, dude, I feel like that clip leaves a lot of questions unanswered. | ||
| So I feel like what we should do now... | ||
| Oh, does it? | ||
| That comes from a really long clip, and I wanted to play all of it, but I will now allow you to ask me some questions about what's going on here, and I will do my best to answer these questions in a succinct fashion. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Good God Almighty! | ||
| All right. | ||
| Bless me. | ||
| Bible-wise, how important is the gold leaf? | ||
| Zero. | ||
| Not important? | ||
| Not important. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Bible-wise, Do certificates have magical powers? | ||
| No. | ||
| Bible-wise, good God almighty. | ||
| I apologize. | ||
| I apologize for not throwing that in there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good God almighty! | |
| Why? | ||
| He yelled so well. | ||
| It's so crazy. | ||
| It's so good. | ||
| Like, no matter how you adjust the microphones, he's going to peak those levels. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| It's awesome. | ||
| If I needed someone to yell, I probably still wouldn't get him. | ||
| But someone with his skills. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Oh, for sure. | ||
| As a yeller, I recognize Gabe. | ||
| Alright, your questions aren't getting in the right direction, so I'm just going to spell this out. | ||
| How does God save the flesh two by two? | ||
| He doesn't. | ||
| Like in the... | ||
| The Bible verse is from Matthew, and what it is is Jesus saying, there are some among you who won't taste death. | ||
| You'll be a witness to the coming of the kingdom of God. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| That's the gist of the Bible verse. | ||
| And so Reverend Manning has taken that to mean that if I am a witness and I commit myself to be a witness of the coming of the kingdom of God, then I won't taste death. | ||
| So, he's printed that Bible verse on a certificate, and he's contending and telling his audience that if you put these certificates on the door that you go out of, you can't be killed when you leave your house. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which makes sense. | ||
| That tracks. | ||
| That's so much like, remember the episode where those, what was it? | ||
| It was General Semelbein? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's the old dude. | |
| No, it was Stubblebine and Rima Labo. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, where they got the postcard that's like, ha ha, get out of jail free. | ||
| Except that makes more sense because it is your choice about vaccinations. | ||
| Being a victim of an accidental death is not your choice. | ||
| I don't know if he has made anything more specific that you will not be the victim of a bread-related death. | ||
| True. | ||
| So, I should say, just to be clear, he's... | ||
| He hates bread. | ||
| He does. | ||
| He's putting these certificates out and saying they will protect you from death. | ||
| But he's not selling them, really, which is really weird. | ||
| I guess that's good. | ||
| In the middle of this clip, like this extended clip, he gets into a thing where he's like, what you need to do is you need to print this on a handkerchief and put it on your kid's underwear. | ||
| And when they go out of the house, then they'll be safe and they won't die. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Why not just take the certificate, fold it up, put it in the pocket? | ||
| Why do you have to put it on their underwear? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's very weird. | |
| Why not get a Sharpie and write it on the underwear? | ||
| So that's one thing. | ||
| And then he gets into, like, there's a limit of three on these. | ||
| What? | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| So he's like, I think there's a lot of people who are going to be wanting these to put up, like, on your back door. | ||
| Maybe your window. | ||
| Like, you're going to go out the window? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's going on here? | |
| Well, you've got to have it on the window. | ||
| So that's weird. | ||
| But then he's like, and listen. | ||
| If you want them, send me a large envelope with stamps, because if I just have to send it to you, I'm not buying you stamps. | ||
| It's like, he starts rambling about how, like, if you send me it with the... | ||
| So he's a literary agent in the 1940s. | ||
| You need to send a self-addressed stamped envelope if you want to get this certificate. | ||
| It's crazy, because this is, like, this is a scam. | ||
| He should be charging $50 for these, something like that. | ||
| But instead, he's just like... | ||
| Send me an envelope with stamps. | ||
| I'll send them to you. | ||
| Three, because we got a printer. | ||
| But look, I don't want money for them. | ||
| If you're going to send me money so I can buy you an envelope and stamps, sure, it might take me a while. | ||
| Like, what? | ||
| Why don't you follow through with the stamp? | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| This is like a non-profit cult where the cult leader is just like, hey, listen, I don't want to tell you what to do, and if you want happiness, it's free. | ||
| You don't have to do any of the shit that I say. | ||
| Just give me a stamp. | ||
| There's a semblance of restraint to it that is like, huh, why? | ||
| On our last episode, we talked about how he put Columbia University and Obama on trial in this fake court proceeding. | ||
| He went whole hog with that. | ||
| Why don't you just take some... | ||
| You have a cult! | ||
| Five bucks! | ||
| Five bucks! | ||
| It doesn't even mean a ton! | ||
| You don't even need to scam hard! | ||
| It's so crazy. | ||
| Don't just scam for postage. | ||
| But this Bible verse is like... | ||
| Apparently he just discovered it recently. | ||
| And it has become, like, a really big part of his worldview. | ||
| Okay, okay. | ||
| And now he's decided that he is unkillable. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Which he explains from the pulpit in this next clip. | ||
| I love this monster. | ||
| I was telling the Lord regarding Matthew's Gospel, chapter 16, verse 28. I said, you know, there may be some people, church people, say, well, Jesus said something. | ||
| He said there are people standing here right now that want a taste of death. | ||
| Peter died. | ||
| Oh, that's a problem. | ||
| Matthew and Thomas did too. | ||
| Those are two problems. | ||
| So, what's up, Jesus? | ||
| What's up, Jesus? | ||
| Did you miss this one, Jesus? | ||
| Did the writer miss it? | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| Because Peter's dead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You said there's something standing here now that will not taste of death. | |
| Oh, fuck. | ||
| He is mad. | ||
| Now, I don't have the fullness of that. | ||
| But when I told Jesus, I'll be a witness. | ||
| Anybody who raises their hand against this scripture and try to say that Jesus' prophecy failed, you got me to deal with it. | ||
| You got me to deal with it. | ||
| best way to deal with that is to say I ain't gonna die okay I I'll stand for you, Jesus. | ||
| If you need a witness, if you need a witness to your scripture, count on me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Count on James David Madden. | |
| I will stand and I'll declare before the world, you can't kill me. | ||
| There ain't no casket built for me. | ||
| There ain't no grave nobody gonna put me in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I will testify. | |
| Can I get a witness? | ||
| I'm a witness for Jesus. | ||
| If nobody else, I will witness this verse. | ||
| And I've stood before here, before you, and said, I ain't gonna die. | ||
| So far, so good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I ain't gonna die, and can't nobody kill me. | |
| Whoa. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Can't nobody kill you either. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm a witness to that verse. | |
| I'm a witness to that verse. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| In spite of truck accidents, airplane crashes. | ||
| What? | ||
| When have you been in an airplane? | ||
| When have you been pushed off a building? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You died of some disease. | |

|
I'm a witness! | |
| Don't you pick on my Jesus. | ||
| What? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Don't you pick. | |
| He said it! | ||
| And I'm a witness. | ||
| I will not taste up there. | ||
| When we all get to heaven on Judgment Day, I can stand and say, Jesus, I witness for that birth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anybody know what I'm talking about? | |
| Nope. | ||
| That's the kind of man I am. | ||
| What kind of man are you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's the kind of man I am! | |
| It is. | ||
| It is. | ||
| No, I agree. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nobody! | |
| You know, death can take me down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nobody! | |
| I will never die! | ||
| I'm God's witness. | ||
| I'm the Lord's servant! | ||
| He ends almost all of his yells with, I'm the Lord's servant, which is... | ||
| It's unsettling. | ||
| It's very unsettling. | ||
| I love the yelling. | ||
| The vocal patterns that he uses are so awesome. | ||
| So good. | ||
| If you take away a lot of the content, and even that's not that awful. | ||
| He's just leading a bunch of people to think that he's immortal. | ||
| Which is like, meh, alright, whatever. | ||
| If they're in for a penny, they're in for a pound. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| So far, we've mostly seen... | ||
| Historical revisionism, that's unfortunate, but also, like, whatever. | ||
| He has a congregation of, like, 70 people or something like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right, right. | |
| It's not like he has... | ||
| 70 great people. | ||
| It's not like he has a giant cult. | ||
| So, like, a lot of this stuff that we've seen so far has been, like... | ||
| Quirky goof nonsense that drifts into dangerous because of, like, sort of... | ||
| But it's no more dangerous than anti-vaccination stuff. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| The idea of, like, I can heal your strokes. | ||
| And you won't be hit by... | ||
| I've been reading up on... | ||
| No, I've been reading up on analysis of the scripture. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| And essentially... | ||
| Is he in the main line? | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| He's not with them. | ||
| Most scholars say that the reason that this was... | ||
| So this was written... | ||
| Look, I don't want to break anybody's heart. | ||
| Well, it comes from Matthew, so it's taken from the Q source. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So it's a secondary level from the original. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| This was written essentially way, way after, and it was about the people there who eventually saw Christ's resurrection. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's very simple. | ||
| But then there's another angle to it, too, that is like... | ||
| I don't know every single Bible verse, but I know that the flesh is really not important to Christianity. | ||
| Not really their thing. | ||
| Especially in the New Testament, the flesh is sort of a meat body that carries what's important within you. | ||
| Which is why you can kill your enemies and feel no sympathy. | ||
| So the idea of you won't taste death isn't so much about the idea of you're not going to die. | ||
| It's not relevant to it. | ||
| You will see the coming of the kingdom of the Lord. | ||
| Through what's important, your spirit. | ||
| Death as a sense of oblivion. | ||
| So you will not taste oblivion. | ||
| You will taste transcendence. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| There's that that I've heard as an analysis of that scripture. | ||
| So, Jordan... | ||
| Dan! | ||
| As is always the case. | ||
| You're about to ruin the fucking day, aren't you? | ||
| We've had a grand old time. | ||
| This dude's fucking crazy. | ||
| I will say that a lot of people who listen to our show, like, have heard all the episodes, know that, like, there's a real, real kibosh coming. | ||
| There's a real hammer that I've been holding over your head. | ||
| And I gotta say that, um... | ||
| If you're new... | ||
| Every episode is fun. | ||
| Until Dan decides to wreck all of our spirits. | ||
| And then we just go! | ||
| That's it! | ||
| Every episode is fun until I reveal the piece of information I've been hiding. | ||
| And actually, there's multiple pieces of information I've been hiding. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| And this is where it stops being as fun. | ||
| But I think that this next clip will be sort of a fun transition into the part that's not fun. | ||
| But I should warn you ahead of this clip. | ||
| The past times it's not been fun, this is a whole new level of not fun. | ||
| Damn it, Dan, you're the bread truck of this episode. | ||
| Yeah, unfortunately. | ||
| You should have put up that certificate. | ||
| I should have put up that damn certificate! | ||
| As you know, I live in Harlem, and we are, as African Americans, certainly that black Americans are facing a crisis, a... | ||
| Catastrophic crises of the absence of males in the homes. | ||
| 80% of the homes of the African Americans are headed by women, and there are no males in the homes. | ||
| There are no husbands in the homes leading the homes. | ||
| This isn't going to end well. | ||
| This doesn't sound like it's going to be as bad as it is. | ||
| This isn't going to end well. | ||
| I can sense this coming. | ||
| And so women are having a difficult time finding a black man to marry with two million black men locked away or warehoused away in prison. | ||
| This is a catastrophe. | ||
| Yes, that is. | ||
| In the black community. | ||
| Stay there. | ||
| Obama has released these demons, particularly upon the black males. | ||
| No, go back. | ||
| This homosexual demon hoping to enforce as many black males to subscribe to ideas of homosexual, perverted. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't like this. | |
| So we have the outing of people like Jason Collins, who is a big fan. | ||
| Alleged basketball player. | ||
| Alleged basketball player! | ||
| Two blacks that have come out of the closet that have received national accolades from Obama, from Michelle, the fist bumper Obama, from Oprah Winfrey, from all black people encouraging more black men to come out of the closet. | ||
| That's not what they were doing. | ||
| And so we have taken direct action here at the Otlo World Missionary Church by posting up on our announcement board outside these words. | ||
| Obama... | ||
| has released the homo demons on the black man. | ||
| Look out black woman. | ||
| A white homo may take your man. | ||
| End of quote on the announcement board. | ||
| That is a new one. | ||
| That's a new twist on the... | ||
| That's a weird racist southern trope of like, the black man's gonna steal the white woman, and now it's the white dude's gonna fuck your husband. | ||
| When homophobia trumps all, that is kind of the way it comes out. | ||
| It's weird, man. | ||
| And when he's saying the announcement board... | ||
| It's the marquee. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, it's not just like a sandwich board on the ground. | ||
| It's the, like, you know, where you would normally see, like, I remember these, you've seen, like, the best vitamin for a Christian is B1. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That sort of thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| He has this long, white homos are gonna take your black men, ladies. | ||
| Look out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa! | |
| As far as something to walk by, that's pretty fun. | ||
| I wouldn't feel great. | ||
| I wouldn't be happy about it, but, you know. | ||
| It would certainly have an interesting story to tell. | ||
| You go and get drinks with somebody, you'll never believe the sign I walked past. | ||
| I have noticed of the few black men that are left, and now Obama is influencing black men to come out of the closet or be homosexual, and they're being scooped up by white homos, leaving the black woman in more diastration with less of a choice of a man to come and be her husband and father her children. | ||
| Also, a real fun part about this, there's a lot more left in this clip. | ||
| At no point does he recognize that it's possible for black women to date non-black men. | ||
| There is that underlying racism that's sort of never dealt with. | ||
| Let's not worry about it. | ||
| I'm just fascinated by the ranking system right now, which is black man and black woman, number one. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Black man and black man, not good. | ||
| No. | ||
| Number two. | ||
| Black man and white man, all the way down to the goddamn bottom! | ||
| There isn't even a number three! | ||
| That's a hundred! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| Because the white homosexual has convinced the black person to be homosexual and is stealing him from a black woman. | ||
| That's because of Obama as well. | ||
| Well, because he's unleashed those gay demons. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| This is devastating what Obama's doing to the black man and to the black woman and how the white homo is now moving into the black neighborhoods looking for black men that have been converted into homosexuality. | ||
| But black women... | ||
| Justification is bad, but I don't think for that reason... | ||
| You'll have a very hard time competing against a white homosexual male. | ||
| He's usually got money. | ||
| A white homo usually has an American Express card. | ||
| What? | ||
| He usually has an opportunity at the theater. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Homos love the theater. | ||
| They love to go out to dinner parties. | ||
| They love that kind of a thing. | ||
| And as a black woman, you can't compete. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Not only with the financial strength of a white homo black system. | ||
| This is devastating. | ||
| Black people need to rise up in mass and recognize the utter destruction that Obama's going in to destroy the black family with his homosexual statements and the release of demons that he has done. | ||
| But our church has taken a very definite stand, warning the black woman that a white homo is looking for your man. | ||
| About what? | ||
| No one knows. | ||
| And looking at the conclusive proof, no white homosexuals have come out in the sports arena. | ||
| abominational anti-creation anti-integrity anti-life anti-humanity anti-universal understanding anti-dna anti if you will I want lean is established in our nation by this pervert this son of I'm James David Manning, everybody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm the Lord's servant. | |
| Lord's servant. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| That was something else, man. | ||
| That was a wild ride. | ||
| I learned that if I, you know, ever were to find out that I'm a homosexual, I need to get rid of this visa. | ||
| You can't say that word. | ||
| That's a dangerous word, apparently. | ||
| Well, I need to get rid of this visa card I've got. | ||
| You've got to get an American Express. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| That's unfortunate. | ||
| That's a hassle. | ||
| A lot of paperwork. | ||
| Man, that's like... | ||
| They don't accept it everywhere, you know? | ||
| An American Express card isn't that, you know, useful. | ||
| It's better than Discover, but Visa's the way to go. | ||
| Anyway, the... | ||
| There's so much in there, even if you take out the rank homophobia. | ||
| If you take away that, there's so much of... | ||
| I guess it's still part of the homophobia. | ||
| These white homos, they love the theater. | ||
| How can you compete with that? | ||
| Where is that coming from? | ||
| I genuinely... | ||
| You black women don't like theater. | ||
| I think there's a... | ||
| From what I'm understanding, if I'm going to read between the lines, he's accurately describing the gentrification issue, which is that wealthier people are destroying black neighborhoods. | ||
| I'm sure that spiritually there's a piece of that in his complaints. | ||
| And then ascribing it to the way-wrong problem. | ||
| And then furthermore, ascribing it then to black women's fault for not... | ||
| Liking theater. | ||
| Which is weird. | ||
| That anger is so real. | ||
| And it's funny when he's talking about gay people putting semen in lattes. | ||
| Stuff like that. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| But, unfortunately, there's a bigger truth to this. | ||
| And this next clip is a Mike Down clip. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| It's something that you need to recognize when you have people like Reverend James David Manning. | ||
| There's a reality to what he preaches from the pulpit that is unacceptable. | ||
| It's unacceptable to modern society in any way. | ||
| And it's important to recognize that when he gave this sermon, he was a guest on Alex Jones' show. | ||
| This is something that Alex is allowing this person to be someone he has on his show. | ||
| He's talking about that sign that he just described in the last clip about how the white homos are gonna steal your man. | ||
| Black women, you know what's gonna happen? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they keep watching these people coming into the land, kissing on the street. | |
| I believe God's gonna raise up an army. | ||
| I believe this. | ||
| That God's gonna raise up... | ||
| A group of young men and women who are going to watch these sodomites walking in their tight shorts on Sunday holding hands with their tank top t-shirts and going to follow them home. | ||
| Crawl in their bedroom windows and slit their throats. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Crawl out. | |
| In a matter of a month like ISIS has risen up in the Middle East You're going to see people who've had enough of this damn foolishness. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they're going to start taking ice picks. | |
| And when they come to the step, they're going to be sitting there like they want to beg for a dive. | ||
| And they're going to take that ice pick and ram it up their throat all the way up to the top of their heads. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then walk away like nothing. | |
| Because nobody's paying attention to these people. | ||
| And the news are going to start reporting that Solemites are being slain. | ||
| They're being killed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're being slaughtered in their homes. | |
| They're being destroyed. | ||
| The Harlem community is running with blood of the fags and the lesbos. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I believe it. | |
| I believe it. | ||
| But I believe it! | ||
| God help us! | ||
| God help us! | ||
| That's what David would do. | ||
| That's what Elijah would do. | ||
| That's what Joshua would do. | ||
| That's what God will do. | ||
| Jesus doesn't do that anymore. | ||
| Now, is that right? | ||
| I think Jesus said this to me, Jakes. | ||
| He says, in Malachi chapter 3, verse 6, I am the Lord thy God. | ||
| I change not. | ||
| If I sent Gideon to chase a hundred thousand, Midianites out of the valley, if I sent David to kill 40,000 Philistines, I'll send people in Harlem to start stealthily and secretly in restaurants poisoning these faggots, killing them wherever you can find them, destroying them at every chance you get an opportunity to. | ||
| And many will be willing to say, yeah, I killed Mr. and Mr. Fag, and I'm willing to go to jail by standing for my Lord and for my God and what the Word of God says. | ||
| I'm willing to go to jail to stop these fags and let those from insulting my children and my community and my God. | ||
| And hallelujah, that boom, zack, a lacker goes right. | ||
| that's a catchphrase Joshua! | ||
| He just yells about driving people out of the land. | ||
| So, yeah, it's kind of tough. | ||
| It's kind of tough when you see, oh, uh-oh, you are literally advocating for murdering gay people. | ||
| Murder. | ||
| I mean, just supporting Uganda's president by itself is enough. | ||
| Well, you should have seen, like, that sort of thing coming. | ||
| Yeah, that was coming. | ||
| Yeah, there was a little bit of a hint. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| No, there was it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But also, like, that's him in his church at the pulpit giving these, like, sort of elaborate fantasies about creeping in gay people's windows after you followed them home and slitting their throats in the night. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like, that is who this guy is. | ||
| That's what he's about. | ||
| Like, you can't... | ||
| I have no word strong enough to, like, to talk about that. | ||
| That is something that should... | ||
| He should be in prison. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Like, I don't know. | ||
| I don't know what the line is in terms of, like, where does hate speech reach the point where you're yelling fire in a crowded building? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, that sort of thing. | ||
| But I think when you're a preacher and you're at a pulpit and you're advocating for... | ||
| Armies of people getting together to clear the streets of gay people through murder. | ||
| I think you're on the wrong side of that. | ||
| I think you're on the wrong side of free speech. | ||
| And I don't know. | ||
| That's what makes it sort of like, you know, semen and lattes. | ||
| Elaborate fantasies about taking ice picks to gay people. | ||
| Not so great. | ||
| Alex Jones is willing to have him on his show. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Michael Savage is willing to have him on his show. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They advocate positions that aren't fucking far off from this sort of thing. | ||
| And, you know, we talk about how Alex Jones says the quiet part loud. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But he says the quiet part louder. | ||
| That's the quietest part the loudest. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That is underlying so much of, like... | ||
| The world that we look at is whether it's a disregard and not caring if people are marginalized to the point of their death or saying, I think God should put people together as vigilante murder armies. | ||
| It is not that much difference to me in terms of functional outcomes. | ||
| I mean, there is one argument to be made about that, or not argument. | ||
| I suppose the best corollary I can think of for that in terms of the power structure we have now is with Trump talking about Jamal Khashoggi's murder. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And him just being like, nah, don't care. | ||
| Like, yeah, that's been American foreign policy for the past 60 years. | ||
| He's the only one who said it, you know? | ||
| I'm sure that Manning isn't the only one who said stuff like this. | ||
| In terms of the people that we look at, not many people make it this overt. | ||
| A lot of people... | ||
| It's amazing to me how many people who can't read can convince people who don't read that what they don't read says something that the person... | ||
| Just wants it to say. | ||
| So anyway, look, I don't know. | ||
| I have a really hard time talking about this because that was so fucking ugly. | ||
| And I even hate putting that on our show to some extent. | ||
| Yeah, I don't like that at all. | ||
| I don't like it either, but it's not honest if you don't look at the person that is. | ||
| And as much as we love the way he yells, the modulation, and semen in the lattes. | ||
| Oh, also, by the way, I'm invincible. | ||
| Those sorts of things. | ||
| That's who he is. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Now, a lot of people might be asking, you know, like, sure, he's been a guest on Alex Jones' show, but how much does this really involve Alex? | ||
| You know, like, is this really that related? | ||
| And I'd like to play you something else, he said. | ||
| Oh, God, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And a president who recognizes that God is his head! | |
| He's talking about what he'd like to see in the world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| A president who recognizes that God is in charge. | ||
| Theocracy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And on Christmas Day, when it is the birthday of Jesus, he celebrates like the rest of us. | |
| He does not go play basketball with his homosexual friend while the rest of us are celebrating the breath of the Lord Jesus Christ, singing all to the town of Bethlehem and Silent Night and the First Noel. | ||
| This low-life heathen is in the gym with his homosexual lover. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I'm ready! | ||
| So when I get started, we're going to discover the truth. | ||
| And I want to tell you that my God, He is able. | ||
| We will get to the bottom of what's going on. | ||
| This nation will not become Sharia. | ||
| This nation will not become led by Muslims. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Indeed! | |
| It is the biblical, noble, constitutional thing to do to drive Muslims from this land. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let them go back to the burning sands of Saudi Arabia. | |
| Let them go back to the hills of Afghanistan. | ||
| But get them out of America unless they want to confess. | ||
| Jesus is Lord! | ||
| Be washed in the blood of Jesus! | ||
| Then go back to your goat-herding, sand-walking tent, if you will, goat-cheese-eating, rag-head nations, and be Muslim there! | ||
| But not here! | ||
| Not here. | ||
| Not here! | ||
| Hey, go back to fucking Jerusalem, you goddamn moron! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alex Jones! | |
| You got another soldier, bro! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hallelujah! | |
| Praise Almighty God! | ||
| I'm ready! | ||
| It says from the pulpit, Alex Jones, you've got another soldier. | ||
| And he says, I'm ready just like Alex Jones. | ||
| And when he said, Alex Jones, you've got another soldier, I mean, we've heard a lot of applause, but someone yelled hallelujah. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So you should recognize, I think, everybody, that these worlds are deeply connected. | ||
| Just the fact that he... | ||
| Reverend Manning doesn't support Trump anymore. | ||
| Doesn't really matter as much as these other things that clearly had enough overlap that, you know, it's such a mess. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| I mean, what do we got? | ||
| I mean, what do we have? | ||
| We've shown that someone bad is bad, I guess. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's this really interesting dynamic that I think is so... | ||
| It exists so... | ||
| Abundantly in the right wing and in the bigot communities that you have this rising of talent. | ||
| You know, like Alex is a really talented broadcaster, and then you scratch a little bit and you see all this, oh my god, you're a white supremacist, you have really dangerous opinions, you're leading people down a terrible road. | ||
| The same way you have Reverend Manning, who is this really gifted orator in many ways, like the ability, like the speaking. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's an engaging-ass speaker. | ||
| Hell yeah. | ||
| If he were giving a speech about something like, I don't know, like Lost. | ||
| If he was making a video about Lost instead of the Stefan Molyneux one I watched, and he was yelling about, luck! | ||
| You know, like, luck is the truth, and not let me tell you. | ||
| Like, that sort of thing. | ||
| I'd be like, oh, God, I love this. | ||
| I'm into it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right. | |
| There's that natural talent that's there, and then beneath it is... | ||
| An incredibly dangerous, manipulative, monstrous human who wishes murder upon homosexuals and the LGBT community. | ||
| The reality is so much different than the presentation. | ||
| I guess that's my point. | ||
| Anyway, if you guys want us to do more... | ||
| On Reverend Manning, although I don't know why you would want us to at this point. | ||
| Way to leave him wanting more, Dan. | ||
| No, but I think the mystery is solved outside of being able to find a hundred more instances of him saying goofy nonsense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| So I think this is a little bit of sour grapes in the sense that we did this episode as sort of, like, this is a possibility for us to look at. | ||
| I mean, we know that Carrie is an anti-Semite. | ||
| You know, we've gotten out there. | ||
| Mildly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well... | |
| I made a face. | ||
| How can you mildly be... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, I mean, it is weird. | ||
| Everybody that we talk about is a fucking monster. | ||
| That doesn't mean we can't still... | ||
| Right. | ||
| Laugh. | ||
| It's the only way we can deal with these fucking idiots. | ||
| I don't know how much fertile territory there is within Reverend Manning. | ||
| Although that clip about African history gives me some hope. | ||
|

|
Yeah. | |
| Because at least that gives an avenue to go down. | ||
| Yeah, the more concrete bullshit a person says, the more you get excited. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's stuff like that. | ||
| Maybe we'll be able to dig up some things like that. | ||
| But in terms of his bigger story, it is really just... | ||
| For whatever reason, he hates gay people. | ||
| And it is such a visceral thing for him that it invades almost every aspect of anything he does. | ||
| And he hates bread. | ||
| Also hates bread. | ||
| That might be something we could dig into. | ||
| We can always dig into bread. | ||
| But I guess the bigger point is if you want us to cover him more, let us know. | ||
| We might do that. | ||
| Also, if there's other suggestions that you have, because I'm banging my head up against a wall a little bit in terms of like who has shows that are things that we could go over. | ||
| That are fun. | ||
| Right. | ||

I'm willing to explore a whole lot of territory. | |
| All right. | ||
| Well, I mean, I don't want to do too much more space stuff. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, I think we're... | ||
| Yeah, I get what you're saying. | ||
| Because we have had a couple suggestions from people, and I appreciate it, but they're more hard space stuff. | ||
| Hard sci-fi kind of guys? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| And I'm not sure... | ||
| What's fun about Project Camelot is the lies. | ||
| The space lies. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| If there's something like that, then sure. | ||
| But anyway, if you have a suggestion, please feel free to send us an email. | ||
| It's knowledgefight at gmail.com. | ||
| Anyway, we have a website, knowledgefight.com. | ||
| We do! | ||
| We have a Twitter account. | ||
| It's at knowledge underscore fight. | ||
| We have a Facebook group. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| It's called Go Home and Tell Your Mother You're Brilliant. | ||

That's correct. | |
| We're also on iTunes. | ||

| You've heard a podcast before. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| You know the deal. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So, like I said earlier, Lena Dunham has been a guest on the Chris Gethard show, but she has not committed a murder, as far as I know. | ||
| As far as we're aware. | ||
| It would seem incongruous for her to have killed anybody. | ||
| It would be weird. | ||
| There's one guy. | ||
| There's one dude. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's the guy who, Reverend Manning, he's a soldier for him. | ||
| Hallelujah. | ||
| In his army. | ||
| That guy, Alex Jones, probably technically killed a dude. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||
