#368: November 11-12, 2019

Knowledge Fight’s #368 dissects Alex Jones’ November 11–12, 2019, rant—where he demanded "good people" resort to violence if Trump lost, falsely accused Nikki Haley of treason, and gloatingly linked James Le Messourier’s death to MI6. Dan and Jordan mock his biblical misquotes, Roger Stone’s recycled defamation, and Michael Graves’ Soros pedophilia claims, exposing Jones’ contradictions: from dismissing MAGA attacks as false flags to endorsing caller-driven violence. His extremist rhetoric reveals not just absurdity but a pattern of incitement, proving why InfoWars remains a menace despite its fringe audience. [Automatically generated summary]

dan friesen
Hey everybody, welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple dudes like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Indeed, we are, Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan.
unidentified
Dan?
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
I have a quick question.
dan friesen
Okay.
Better be quick.
jordan holmes
All right.
We've done, I don't know if you've ever done a show, but I've done a couple of drag shows.
Have you ever done a drag show?
dan friesen
Huh.
I don't know if I actually, like as a comedian.
Whichever.
Well, I guess, okay, in junior high, maybe, no, I was like in high school.
It was in a lip sync competition.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
And the class was all female except for me and one other guy, my drama class.
Yeah.
And so we had to enter this lip sync competition that was like the entire school district.
And the teacher had chosen the scene from the Westside story.
I like to be in America.
I'm looking for you in America.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Where it's like the girls and the boys going back and forth.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But there was only girls and me and this other dude in the class.
And the other dude is like, I'm not going to be in the lip sync.
And so I was friends with the people in the class.
We were all like, hey, we all got along.
So I was in for the team.
And it's like, what is it going to be me and all the rest of the girls in the class?
jordan holmes
I think would be a powerhouse choice if your teacher had made that.
dan friesen
Instead, I wore a dress and makeup and what have you in the lip sync.
unidentified
And we were like all women in the library.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's fun.
dan friesen
We ended up winning the lip sync competition, much to the chagrin of someone who lost, who would later become a friend of mine.
And we were sitting around smoking a joint a bit later in life discussing this very same speech tournament, not knowing that we were both in it.
jordan holmes
No shit.
dan friesen
He was complaining about a guy wearing a dress ending up winning the cup.
jordan holmes
That is not real.
unidentified
Me.
jordan holmes
That is not real.
Fuck you.
dan friesen
Totally real.
jordan holmes
That cannot be real.
dan friesen
I guess that's the same thing.
jordan holmes
That's the biggest, it's a small world moment that I can think of.
dan friesen
It was, I don't know, and I don't want to offend, be offensive at all.
Like, I don't know what the parameters of drag specifically are.
I don't know if that counts.
I have no idea.
I mean, it was a performance of some sort, but.
jordan holmes
I think respecting whomever.
dan friesen
Sure.
I don't know, but that was a time when I won a lip sync competition singing I like to be in America.
jordan holmes
Hell yeah.
dan friesen
So anyway, this is a podcast where I did that.
And also, I know a lot about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
And I didn't, and I don't.
dan friesen
So, Jordan, today on the show, we're going over the present day a little bit for a reason that will become very clear pretty quickly.
Maybe not quickly.
About halfway through the show, you'll understand why.
Gotcha.
But so we're going over November 11th, 2019, and then a little bit of the 12th.
But the 12th is mostly ignorable.
And again, once it becomes clear why I'm doing this, you'll understand why there's the 12th.
alex jones
Right.
dan friesen
And also, it'll be clear why there's not that much of it, because it's kind of disappointing.
Gotcha.
But what's not disappointing is taking a little moment, Jordan, before we get going.

Thank you.
dan friesen
If you're out there listening, you're thinking, hey, I enjoyed the show, like what these folks do.
I'd like to support it.
You can do that by going to our website, knowledgefight.com, clicking the button that says support the show.
We would appreciate it.
jordan holmes
I think it's a testament to how great our fans really are that it took this long for us to get so many joke names in a row.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that they don't often drift into the ribbold or adult.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
This is a family show, after all.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
There's one thing you know about this.
It's a family show.
jordan holmes
It's a family show.
dan friesen
So before we actually get fully down to business, I also have to say a very special shout out and a thank you.
A little bit of show business here.
Ooh.
To our dear friend, been around for such a long time, hanging out, loving the show, being cool.
Sonia from Sweden.
She got in touch with me and sent over some treats, Jordan.
unidentified
What?
dan friesen
Yeah.
She reached out, sent over a package of some candies from Sweden.
And so I feel like the first of all, thank you so much.
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely, Sonia.
dan friesen
That's one way we can thank you.
But another way is to do a little bit of a taste test here on air.
Here, you want to open this package?
jordan holmes
Sure, sure, sure.
dan friesen
And I want to read you what she wrote in her little, she sent a little note along.
And I want to give you the description of these treats that we're going to be trying here.
These are the jungle fry.
Apparently, I think that might be jungle roar in Swedish.
So anyway, she explained that by law in Sweden, you have to, if you're sending people candy, you have to send licorice stuff over.
jordan holmes
Okay, by law?
Like this is an actual law?
dan friesen
Yeah, there's some the king has decreed, apparently.
And so she sent over some that are what she describes as the soy boy cook level of licorice.
And those are the salty cat ones, which are not these.
These are the jungle monkey laughing monkey situation.
All right.
These are the complete stud level of licorice.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
These are tasty to Sonia, but not everyone likes it.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So now we're going to find out, Jordan, if you and I like the complete stud level.
jordan holmes
I will tell you right now, I don't even like the soyboy version of licorice.
dan friesen
I'm going to give this one.
jordan holmes
We're going to find out.
unidentified
This is very.
jordan holmes
Oh, this is real.
This is real.
This is a man dying.
This is a man dying in my face.
Holy Christ.
stewart rhodes
Oh, my God.
jordan holmes
Oh, is it?
dan friesen
That's so salty.
jordan holmes
Oh, is it?
Oh, boy.
All right.
Here we go.
It looks a little bit like a pellet.
unidentified
Like, this is what a koala shoves up to.
dan friesen
It's very startling.
unidentified
Whoa!
dan friesen
I'm sweating.
It gets better.
jordan holmes
Just 10 minutes of dead air and chewing.
That's what our show is.
Thanks, Sonia.
dan friesen
I will say that that is offensive.
jordan holmes
That is the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth.
unidentified
And I swallow cum, damn it.
dan friesen
That is offensive at the first bite, for sure.
Whatever that saltiness up front is, is unappreciated.
jordan holmes
Uh-uh.
Wow.
dan friesen
If this is what Sweden's bringing to the table, I say, interesting, but no thank you.
jordan holmes
I understand why you guys eat all that weird fish now.
It all makes sense.
All the weird fish stuff makes sense now.
dan friesen
Anyway, we appreciate it.
I'm sure some of the other stuff that was in the other candies that were in the package are much better than this complete stud level of licorice, but I felt like that might be the most interesting thing to try.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
I will say, I've had a lot of licorice in my time.
Nothing has been even close to that kick.
I still don't think up front that salty, whatever the fuck was.
jordan holmes
That was intense.
dan friesen
Holy shit.
jordan holmes
Genuinely have no idea how to handle that.
I can't finish it.
It's just in my mouth.
I can't stop.
I can't chew anymore.
I can't spit it out.
dan friesen
I saw some of the packaging of these candies and was like, I'm going to plan a trip to Sweden now.
The trip's canceled.
unidentified
Yeah.
After that piece of candy, I am out.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
Anyway.
unidentified
Oh, well.
dan friesen
Let's get down to business, Jordan.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
So Alex starts off the show here on November 11th, standing in front of his desk as if he's some sort of a real professional newsman.
Sure.
And he knows that this is weird, so he decides to explain why he's standing in front of his desk.
alex jones
Probably been asking why lately I've been out front when we start the show many times instead of behind the desk.
Over the years, many times I've gotten up to go to the map wall or go to a video feed and point some things out like a weatherman would do.
But this would be a political weatherman.
unidentified
Nice.
alex jones
But with only 357 days left to this historic election, I'm doing it because I want to note visually to everyone that we're not in Kansas anymore.
That the world is really on the brink of total breakdown and disaster if good people don't exert our full political, cultural, economic, and spiritual will.
Because if we fail at that, we're going to have to exert our physical will because we'll have no other choice.
Because what's coming at us is so damn evil.
There will be worldwide massive civil war and violence.
dan friesen
Until we got to the end there, I was sitting here like, why did I cut this clip?
This is so uninspired and boring.
jordan holmes
And then I realized, if we lose the election, we're going to have to murder all of our political enemies.
That is a good clip to cut there.
I think that would.
dan friesen
Yeah, this is why I'm the political weatherman.
Yeah.
I know of other political weathermen that Alex hates.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like Bill Ayers.
But yeah, so that is a bad note to start the show off on.
jordan holmes
That's an intense opening.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So his main storyline throughout at least the beginning of this episode is about the revelations that Nikki Haley brought forth, particularly about how Rex Tillerson and who was it, McMaster?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
We're trying to get her to help Kelly, maybe?
Yeah, I think Kelly.
Yeah, I think that's it.
jordan holmes
Who gives a shit?
dan friesen
They were trying to stop Trump from causing trouble.
Yeah.
And Alex describes this as treason.
alex jones
I'm going to lay out information here on the show today that is of the complete paramount importance.
Nikki Haley, the former governor who became the head UN ambassador from the U.S., had her issues, and I've had problems with her.
dan friesen
Sure.
alex jones
But she at least understands that it's treason when you undermine the president and try to set him up.
And when he signs an executive order, you take it and throw it in a trash can.
Or when he says, bring me Infowars.com articles daily and you refuse to do it.
That is treason.
dan friesen
Quite frankly, not allowing him to have InfoWars articles is not treason.
jordan holmes
I think disobedience turned into treason real quick, right?
dan friesen
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It seems like there is an inability to disentangle those two things from Alex.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Not kowtowing to and doing exactly what Trump tells you to do is treason.
jordan holmes
A man who's made his brand on defying authority and disobeying every possibility is, of course, the one who's going to tell you that if you're not going to be able to do it.
dan friesen
Conformity.
Yeah.
Getting like just replace Infowars articles with whatever.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Coffee.
Not getting him coffee.
jordan holmes
Treason.
Treason.
dan friesen
Ridiculous.
So they were trying to keep Infowars articles away from Trump because they were on to the main stash early.
alex jones
We even had sources who would be out at dinner, high-powered donors, billionaires with McMaster, and he would be drunk saying Trump's an idiot, Trump's a fool.
We hear in the establishment know how to run things.
He'll be out in just a few months.
They called the president up and couldn't even get him on the phone, so they called Roger Stone.
And they had Roger's phones tapped, and he got a bunch of death threats the next day, and so did I.
We got told: if you don't keep your mouth shut, you're dead.
And I had people I know call up that have worked high-level CIA, you name it, and threaten me, basically.
I told them, piss up a rope, and you better make sure I don't see you coming.
Because I'm an American, I'll piss on you.
How's that sound?
dan friesen
It's a family show.
jordan holmes
I'll piss down that rope.
dan friesen
Yeah.
You piss up a rope.
I thought he was going to say, if you see me coming, I'm going to kick your ass.
Not I'm going to pee on you.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's weird.
dan friesen
That's very strange.
He's gross.
jordan holmes
This is a weird opening.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
This is a weird opening.
How is it that we're on, we're going to kill everybody and start a new civil war and then backstage bullshit and now we're peeing on people?
dan friesen
I don't know.
But I don't believe most of that stuff happened for particular reasons that I think I'll be able to lay out as we go along.
Also, how is this supposed to work with that whole notion of like Trump sits up till three in the morning just sitting by the phone so people normal people can call him?
Couldn't get a hold of him.
Nope.
Too busy talking to some guy from Idaho.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's on the phone, having a nice little chat, you know, having good times.
dan friesen
I don't know.
I think that this show is starting out weird because what Nikki Haley is bringing out does match up pretty closely with what Alex has yelled about for a long time.
Yeah.
And so it's a sort of miniature version of he doesn't know how to win.
He doesn't know how to take this and just let it be.
There's got to be more to it.
So Alex starts talking about plans to demoralize the country.
You know, you just see them everywhere.
You see them.
They're manifest all around us.
jordan holmes
Let's see what they are.
alex jones
Because when you are conquering a nation and selling it off and butchering it and dumbing it down and psychologically demoralizing it and poisoning it, that's all in the WikiLeaks.
You can turn the damn TV and see it, though.
You don't need to know it's in a secret document because you can see it.
Breaking up the family, everything.
We're being poisoned.
That's how you do it from within.
The rot from within.
There are the 49 secret plans of the communists to bring down the U.S. and all the famous senatorial reports.
But it wasn't the Russian communist.
It was the globalists already taking over Russia and were using the same poison on us.
We ought to read those lists here on air today.
In fact, we will.
dan friesen
I don't know what WikiLeaks stuff he's talking about because he's always so vague with that stuff.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
And I know that he's talked about the demoralize and divide and all that stuff in relation to the Podesta and Clinton emails.
And so I decided, like, I have no idea what he's ever talking about.
He never is specific.
I'm going to look through those emails.
jordan holmes
So you read the WikiLeaks?
dan friesen
I didn't read all of them because there's way too fucking.
There's a few.
So I searched around for articles about the most damning things that were in those email dumps because I'm not going to look through everything for the podcast.
There's just no way I have that time.
So it's a little bit voyeuristic of an exercise for me too, like to read these emails because I know that they're hacked and they weren't meant to be public, which makes the whole process feel like it's less like research and more like snooping.
None of that's to say that there isn't stuff that's worth being covered in those email dumps.
I just think that they've been covered pretty extensively at this point.
And I can't really find any material about demoralizing society being the cornerstone of some Democrat globalist plot.
Can't find any articles citing that.
jordan holmes
Well, did you search for Cornerstone globalist plots?
dan friesen
I searched for a lot of words.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
The term demoralize only shows up in completely unrelated contexts in the Hillary emails and only in one email in the Podesta files.
That email from May 24th, 2015 was a campaign cable that served as a rundown of stories in the media about Hillary.
The word demoralize shows up in a copy and pasted chunk from an article on Real Clear Politics with the headline, quote, why less competition is hurtful to Hillary.
The article is basically positing that without a strong rival from within the Democratic Party, she won't have an opportunity to defend her record in the primary.
So questions about her controversies will still be on the table when she enters the general election.
This dynamic also means that all the media attention would be on Hillary prior to the general.
The article says, quote, while media attention is a positive for a candidate, being its almost sole focus on the Democratic side has not been easy.
And this could well serve to demoralize Democratic voters.
There are already signs of that in the national polls.
I'd like to say that this is what Alex has taken and misrepresented, but honestly, I have no idea.
Because it does say demoralize Democratic voters.
It's the only time it appears in the Podesta emails.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
He always just says it's in the WikiLeaks and never explains it any further.
So I don't, you know, if he doesn't care to be more specific, I'm just going to assume he's making shit up until I can find evidence to the contrary.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I've always assumed the way he says that is just, he might as well just say, look it up.
It was on the, it was in the sky.
The plane flew and it wrote it in the sky.
Duh.
If you didn't see it, it was gone.
dan friesen
If he wants to be more specific, I'd be willing to look into it further.
But as it stands now, like, I don't know, what is he talking about?
Maybe some sort of a other email dump, some other document dump from WikiLeaks?
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
One of the lesser known ones, you know, it was like it was a B-side WikiLeaks.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
He's real into the original WikiLeaks, you know?
dan friesen
So now, about those 49 plans of communism, the first thing I should tell you is that there's only 45, and I should tell you that it's bullshit.
On January 10th, 1963, Representative Hurlong of Florida took to the floor of the House.
He said that a constituent of his was an ardent enemy of communism and had requested that he read the 45 current goals of communism into the official congressional record.
Because a representative read these goals and it was recorded, now all these people think that it's something real, but it's not.
These 45 goals of communism were read directly out of The Naked Communist by W. Cleon Skousen.
jordan holmes
The Naked Capitalist.
dan friesen
No, that's his other book.
jordan holmes
He has.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Oh, God.
He's got a whole series?
dan friesen
It's just these two.
Okay.
The Naked Communist was about justifying McCarthyism.
It's a misrepresentation of a lot of that communist red scare shit.
unidentified
Right, right.
dan friesen
And then The Naked Capitalist is about Carol Quigley and misrepresenting the Anglo-American establishment and tragedy and hope.
jordan holmes
And he didn't even finish the trilogy?
dan friesen
I mean, I guess you could say the 5,000-year leap was maybe that.
jordan holmes
You got to get the naked franchise going.
dan friesen
Naked leap.
Yeah, absolutely.
So anyone who's listened to our show long enough knows that W. Cleon Skousen is a complete lunatic.
He was an anti-communist propagandist who was probably too extreme for the John Birch Society in the late 50s.
And his books, The Naked Capitalist and Naked Communist, are bedrocks of Alex Jones' stupid worldview.
These 45 goals of communism are part of a rich tradition of forgeries pretending to be revelations of the secret machinations of the communists.
jordan holmes
That's dispensing, yeah.
dan friesen
They were, yeah.
I mean, to some extent, a lot of the stuff, that is part of this literary tradition, if you will.
There was a list of communist rules for revolution that popped up in the mid-50s, which was said to have been discovered by Allied soldiers back in 1919.
Of course, it was a complete hoax, but it served to give focus to the fears and paranoias that were popping up in the Cold War era.
The communist enemy was so mysterious to people that it became insanely easy to demonize your enemies by releasing fake documents that purport to show that what they stand for is secretly in line with the secret plans of the commies.
So they're basically commies and therefore the enemy.
That's all Skousen's list is.
It's a completely fake pile of shit he wrote to push his politics by calling the things he disagreed with communist.
jordan holmes
Yeah, number 13 being party hard was a little bit obvious.
dan friesen
You hated Andrew W.K.
jordan holmes
We should have seen that one.
dan friesen
So this is a huge problem because Alex clearly thinks this is real.
It's categorically not real.
Also, it's kind of funny when you actually read the rules because Alex Jones himself is furthering some of these fake communist goals.
jordan holmes
Of course, of course.
dan friesen
Number 24 is, quote, eliminate all laws governing obscenity and calling them by calling them censorship and a violation of free speech and the free press.
jordan holmes
It doesn't sound familiar.
dan friesen
If I'm not much mistaken, Alex fancies himself a bit of a free speech absolutist these days and absolutely would support getting rid of all obscenity laws that limit free expression.
So I guess he's a commie.
jordan holmes
There you go.
dan friesen
Number 35 is, quote, discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
If I'm not much mistaken.
jordan holmes
Woo!
Let's do it!
dan friesen
Alex has spent the last three years of his on-air career screaming about how the FBI is completely infiltrated by globalists and Trump needs to clean house and jail all of them.
jordan holmes
It does sound familiar.
dan friesen
It seems like what a commie would do.
jordan holmes
He's a commie.
dan friesen
Most damningly, number 42 is, quote, create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of American tradition.
If I'm not much mistaken, in this very episode, Alex has discussed the necessity of insurrection if his team doesn't win the next election.
His goddamn catchphrase is the answer to 1984 is 1776.
Alex Jones is someone who is very, very into making violence and insurrection a legitimate aspect of American tradition, just like a commie would.
jordan holmes
I think we all heard it here first.
Alex Jones is a communist.
dan friesen
To be fair, that rule about insurrection is in the context of the rules, the fake rules that Skousen wrote, is specifically about disenfranchised communities.
jordan holmes
Yeah, whoa, of course.
dan friesen
It's specifically about minority and special interest groups not getting the idea that insurrection is part of it.
For Alex, it's like, ah, it's no big deal.
I'm waiting.
Anyway, this list is stupid anti-communist chain email bullshit bait.
But Alex is too fucking stupid to know how many.
He doesn't even know how many goals there are.
He's just 49.
unidentified
Well, you're forgetting the four secret goals.
dan friesen
Oh, okay.
jordan holmes
Race memory.
dan friesen
So, Alex, you know, he's saying here that you got this globalist plan that's being furthered by people like Kelly and McMaster and Tillerson and Nikki Haley.
At least she stood up against it.
You know, it's all to demoralize society as proven by the WikiLeaks and this fake 45 list of globalist communist plots.
And how it's going to manifest and how it has manifested is a list of curses upon our country that Alex reads.
It doesn't read off.
He just starts discussing here.
I'm going to take these one by one after this clip and explain means nothing.
alex jones
We already knew what Nikki Haley has come out and said was true.
That they would come to her and say, Trump is an idiot.
He's going to destroy the country.
You've got to help us undermine him and not support him and block his agenda.
When the globalists have sat here and presided over the deindustrialization of America, the dumbing down of America, our life expectancy plumbing, plummeting, infant mortality exploding, and all the other curses that are upon the nation.
And then Trump comes in, gets elected, tries to be the president.
dan friesen
He's trying to undo all that.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So deindustrialization is the first thing he brings up.
That is far more complicated of an issue than Alex seems to think.
And honestly, I have no idea what statistics to even look into to discuss his points.
I don't know what he defines deindustrialization as.
I don't know what data point is going to be.
jordan holmes
And if you do, if you do, whenever he gets it, he'll change his definition.
It's undoable.
dan friesen
So I don't care.
jordan holmes
Too possible.
dan friesen
It's too vague to be discussed.
I move along.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not saying you, I'm not, I'm not conceding the point.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
I'm saying irrelevant to the conversation.
Move along.
jordan holmes
It is not a point concession.
It is pointless.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So the next is the dumbing down of America.
What does he mean by that?
Is that based on IQ scores?
Because those aren't a perfect test of intelligence by any means.
And even if they were, a January 2018 paper in the journal Intelligence notes that while there were drops in Nordic nations' IQ scores that had been observed, the U.S. was on an upward trajectory, rising 0.3 points per year.
Plus, again, IQ scores don't really mean anything.
To demonstrate how dumb this whole conversation is, allow me to read to you two headlines from the INC, Inc., the website.
The first is, quote, we're all getting dumber, new science proves, and no one is sure why.
That was from June 14th, 2018.
Flash forward to June 27th, 2019, and you get this headline: quote, humanity might not be getting dumber after all, new study suggests.
A year apart, the same publication, and both articles were written by the same person.
jordan holmes
What are we?
There's too much content.
People just have too much content.
dan friesen
It was written by the same person.
jordan holmes
You got a byline.
You got to fill space.
You just got to.
Sometimes you can just let it go, man.
dan friesen
In 2018, everyone saw this study about a drop in IQ that was observed in a study of people living in Norway and reported it super irresponsibly.
Then, when more data was in, it was all, whoops, I guess we're not getting dumber after all.
Every single article I can find that discusses the we're getting dumber idea as being proven links to that Norwegian study, and it's all shit, or at very least, woefully oversimplified.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
If Alex wants to suggest that the population is getting dumber, he needs to explain what he means by that.
I'm almost certain that he just read headlines that came out in 2018 about this Norway study, and he hasn't cared to read any of the newer information that completely contradicts it and actually shows the opposite.
And again, IQ scores don't mean anything.
Standardized test scores, I don't necessarily believe is even a good indicator of intelligence on this scale.
To even have a full conversation about the idea that America is getting dumber, you really need to dig in to figure out what are your indicators.
How do you define intelligence?
And I don't think he's equipped to have that.
I think he just has read a few headlines.
jordan holmes
He wants to yell at the kids.
He doesn't want to have a conversation.
He wants to be like, oh, kids with TikTok.
I don't even know what it is.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So life expectancy is plummeting, according to Alex.
He's talking shit.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
In 1970, the life expectancy in the United States was 70.81 years.
In 2016, it was 78.69 years.
That is not a plummet.
Generally speaking, life expectancy in the United States is on the upward path and it has been for decades.
There was a 0.15 year drop from 2014 to 2015, and you can find plenty of articles taking this very seriously.
And I'm not suggesting they shouldn't, but I think it would be a little bit much to call that a plummet.
I have a strong suspicion that Alex isn't talking about U.S. life expectancy.
I think he's talking about white people.
jordan holmes
A very specific group of people?
dan friesen
I believe so.
jordan holmes
Perhaps men who are one?
dan friesen
A recent paper in the journal Population and Development Review observed life expectancy rates among non-Hispanic white Americans increasing at a lower rate than the general population.
They weren't able to pinpoint the exact reason for this, but some of the prevailing theories had to do with the opiate crisis killing more young rural white people and with obesity levels.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I'm going to go with those two.
dan friesen
Whatever the exact reason for the phenomenon is, you can find articles with headlines that are, you know, you can just imagine how easily they would trigger Alex.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
From Science Daily, quote, for non-Hispanic whites in the United States, life expectancy outlook worsens.
jordan holmes
Jeez.
dan friesen
From AJMC, quote, study reveals declining life expectancy among white Americans.
There's some real issues behind this stuff, for sure, like dealing with what researchers call deaths of despair, like overdoses and suicides.
But from listening to as much Alex as I have, I'd be very inclined to think that he's read some of these headlines about white life expectancy, and then he got really mad.
Yeah, that was decided life expectancy is plummeting in the United States.
jordan holmes
Yep.
unidentified
Good life expectancy is he would, you know.
dan friesen
That's my suspicion.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So infant mortality, Alex is saying it's exploding.
It's not.
According to data from the CDC, the U.S. infant mortality rate decreased 14% between 2007 and 2017.
I have no idea what Alex is talking about.
There are no other curses that are upon the nation.
Alex Jones, everything he just said in that clip means nothing.
And for the most part, it isn't based on any reality.
At very best, he's skimmed some headlines and he's using whatever they made him feel as fuel.
Just the anger that he gets from these headlines.
jordan holmes
I know a curse left on America.
Its name is Alex.
dan friesen
Lack of critical thinking.
jordan holmes
Alex.
dan friesen
Ease of lying.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Yeah.
That is a curse.
The percentage of that has gone way up in the past couple of years.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So, you know, we got all these curses that are upon America, which don't really seem to be real.
But even if they are real, America is finally awake.
We're finally waking up.
We're weak because of all the curses, but we're awake.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
And we're out of the coma.
We're sick.
We're stumbling around.
We got diarrhea running down our legs, but our eyes are getting clear and we see what's going on.
And even though we're in a debilitated state, we're bigger and stronger than these gremlins that had us tied down on the operating table and that we're about to finally finish us off and sell our organs off to the highest bidder.
Sure.
That's the metaphor.
And I personally am doing everything I can.
I got my hands on a couple of the gremlins and I'm squeezing them and they're dying.
Ah, well, they're stabbing me in the guts.
I'm just, ah, I don't want to throw these down and grab some more.
The only way I can do that is when you spread the word and when you buy the products and when you pray for it, you do that.
jordan holmes
Damn.
alex jones
I can just start smashing goblins, smashing them, smashing them, smashing them and just fling them up against the wall and break every bone in their body.
And then I'm just going to aim like a big rhinoceros and just run through them.
dan friesen
I can kill the goblins, but I need your money to kill goblins.
jordan holmes
I like his new candy crush marketing strategy of like, send me money and you'll get better at allowing me to kill goblins for you.
I like that.
dan friesen
He should have some microtransactions.
jordan holmes
Yeah, does he have in-app purchases on goblin dead?
dan friesen
Click the button, goblin dead, goblin dead.
Yeah.
So that was pretty gross.
I found that to be pretty gross.
Yeah.
This is how Alex goes out to break.
And I thought, like, I noticed a weird phrasing that he keeps using.
And I wonder if you'll, I think you'll get, I think you'll know exactly where this comes from.
alex jones
My gut's never wrong.
And I'm telling you that this whole country and President Trump of the world is in grave danger.
So guard yourself for true.
Infowars.com.
It's where the defense of human liberty and a pro-human future lives.
dan friesen
So he said guard yourself for true a number of times.
I'm like, I know that's from something.
I recognize that.
jordan holmes
Guard yourself for true.
dan friesen
It's from Dune.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's just referencing.
jordan holmes
He's just quoting Dune.
unidentified
I was like, that has to be from somewhere else.
dan friesen
It's just more sci-fi.
jordan holmes
I was like, I thought he was like, gird yourself.
He was misspeaking, but no, he's.
dan friesen
Yeah, the phrasing guard yourself for true is so specific.
It's insane.
It's insane how many things are just like the little things he's ripped from various sci-fi things.
jordan holmes
Guard yourself for true.
And that was Frank Herbert doing some Shakespearean ripoff kind of noise right there.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
So Alex did that shitty, I can kill goblins if you give me money.
Money allows me to kill goblins thing.
And then he comes back and he does a long rant about the everything must go sale that is still going on.
Sure.
That it's got to end.
jordan holmes
Everything is not gone.
dan friesen
But so much is selling out that he has to end this sale, but he keeps not ending the sale.
It just keeps going on.
And, you know, you got to buy his product so he can kill goblins.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But that's not enough.
alex jones
And our local affiliates, and I'll say this.
It's just as important to support Infowars as it is to support the local affiliates who are these shows put us on.
We're standing up for babies.
Most your churches aren't.
I would give your money to the local radio stations to hear us on.
Literally, I'd make a tithe weekly or monthly instead of those local churches that won't do a damn thing but make you feel good about eternity while selling out civilization.
jordan holmes
If somebody just tithes to a radio station, does Alex, in that agreement that they have to sign for Alex to broadcast on their channel, is it's one part of that if somebody tithes, he gets a cut?
dan friesen
No, no, what I would guess is that Alex is aware that almost nobody would send money to a radio station that airs a certain show.
And so if you are like working at this radio station and some people, even if it's a minuscule amount, send money as like a here, thank you for airing Alex's show.
jordan holmes
That would be a hugely popular show.
dan friesen
It would make you much less inclined to take it off the air because it would like in the same way they talk about how one phone call is equivalent to 100 people in Congress.
Congress members view that as being representative of a much larger thing.
Most people will think this thing, but not follow through with it.
You've got to assume if you're getting a fucking check from somebody because they listen to Alex's show and you're a radio station that airs it and you're still making all the ad money and all that shit, you'd be like, that's got to be 100,000 fucking people represented by this one check.
And that's probably not true.
But if Alex can trick like, I don't know, five people around the country to do that, he's got five stations he's far more secure in than he would be otherwise.
It's just good strategy.
I mean, it's sacrilegious for sure.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, it's wrong.
It's wrong.
dan friesen
On a number of levels.
So we get back to this stuff about Nikki Haley.
And so Alex is mostly concerned about how people like General Kelly and Taylor Sand were trying to keep Infowars away from Trump.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
That seems to be the spoke in this wheel that he's most concerned about.
jordan holmes
It does seem to come up, yeah.
dan friesen
And it's because Alex broke really important stories long before anybody else.
alex jones
This isn't like we're some leftist or mainline conservative show claiming we're the zeitgeist.
We're the zeitgeist.
You are the zeitgeist, literally, with Kelly.
It was in the New York Times, the Washington Post, everywhere.
But I confirmed inside the White House it was do not let him have infowars.com.
Do not let the president talk to people like Dinesh D'Souza.
dan friesen
Wow.
Right.
alex jones
They tried to keep Trump Jr. out who brings him the truth.
Trump doesn't know all of this stuff until people show him.
And he knows we exposed Fiona Hill first here.
We exposed Ciaramella here simultaneously with Mike Cernovich.
And the deep state thought that Cernovich and I had the same sources.
We learned later they were different sources.
And I never outsources.
He had quite a few.
Still does.
But it was public that Don Jr. was releasing information.
So when I released that, I was not releasing that one of his sources was Don Jr.
He still got pissed off about it.
No, fine.
Fine.
dan friesen
Let's call that sources.
Whatever, Alex.
You can play whatever games you want.
I'm not going to give a shit.
So here we have Alex insisting that General Kelly wanted to keep Alex's information away from Trump because Alex was just so accurate based on the fact that he'd been yelling about Fiona Hill in the past.
And apparently you'd mentioned Eric Ciomarella, Cioromella, which is the name that's being thrown around as being the whistleblower who brought up concerns about Trump's phone call with the Ukrainian president.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
I'm not sure if that is accurate.
It very well could be.
I didn't care to look into it too much.
But beyond that, all this is bullshit.
The bigger picture is bullshit.
And I want to parse through this pretty carefully.
In terms of Eric Ciaromella, I can only find references to his name being on the Infowars dating back to November 1st, 2019.
And it's based on a tweet from Benny Johnson, who's a guy who has found a job working with Turning Point USA after getting unceremoniously fired from multiple publications for plagiarism.
He's someone with zero credibility.
And whether or not he has the name right about this alleged whistleblower, it's unwise to base your reporting on his say-so.
This is the source that Alex is pretending is some high-level guy, just some dude at Turning Point.
jordan holmes
Great.
dan friesen
Benny Johnson tweeted out this guy's name a full two days prior to InfoWars even having an article about this dude.
It would seem like if the globalists in the White House, like Rex Tillerson, were concerned about rogue reporting like this, they would seek to keep people like Benny Johnson and Turning Point out, not people like Alex who were just reposting the shit two days later that they've already put out.
And interestingly, they don't.
Turning Point USA has a very close relationship with the Trumps.
And in fact, just the other day, they hosted a big event for Don Jr.'s new book, Triggered, which was disrupted by trolls associated with straight-up white nationalist Nick Fuentes.
Got to be very careful about that.
jordan holmes
And how is he coming back?
dan friesen
I hate to use this sort of language necessarily, but that's an important thing to pay attention to that's going on right now.
Nick Fuentes and his dudes who are trying to, the way I would describe it is try to usurp the Turning Point USA by disrupting their events and heralding their true conservative values, which are really just Christian white supremacist views.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Christian identity, more or less.
So we need to be very aware of that because it looks like a situation where you're like, ah, let them fight.
But in reality, what you have is a vapid grift in the form of Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA.
What they're doing is dumb, also full of some racists.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
dan friesen
But the version that Nick Fuentes is involved in is far more extreme.
That version of conservatism is way more fucked up.
And what he's doing is trying to use Turning Point's platform in order to increase his own.
And I think that he'll probably be successful because.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, that's why they were trying to keep InfoWars and Dinesh D'Souza and shit away from Trump is because you're not supposed to get high on your own supply.
You can't forget that you're running the game on the roops.
Because if you start to believe InfoWars shit, then it's over.
You've got that virulent Nazi conservatism.
dan friesen
Right.
And to an extent, I think this is one of the problems that you see of these things like InfoWars or Turning Point entirely is that they aren't really based in anything.
No.
So when InfoWars exists as this conspiracy theory bullshit entity for a really long time, it leaves the audience and Alex himself pray for someone like Trump to come along.
You know, you have Roger Stone come in.
He completely validates.
It's not a hostile takeover necessarily, but you have this thing that's much more powerful than him come in, and now Alex has become that.
Turning point is pointless.
The sort of, what would you call it even, pseudo-libertarian values that they express are not appealing to college kids.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
They're not appealing to the younger generations.
And so you have this thing, this entity that exists that is just ripe for the picking for someone like a Nick Fuentes to come along and use his trolls to do whatever he needs to do with.
And I think it's actually, I think it's a pretty dangerous thing.
I don't know if it'll amount to anything, but I do think it's something that's important for people to recognize.
Because when we talked about Nick, he was on InfoWars because he disrupted a Charlie, or his guys disrupted a Charlie Kirk event.
And one-off, it's like, eh, you might just be fucking with this guy.
There's a clear targeting that's going on by associates of Nick Fuentes that they're trying to attack Turning Point.
And it's not because of some.
jordan holmes
They're trying to annex Turning Point.
unidentified
Yes.
jordan holmes
And then they're going to use that leverage.
dan friesen
They're trying to demonstrate the vapidity of it, but not for some better reason.
It's to radicalize the people who are there to be radicalized.
And that's dangerous because.
jordan holmes
I mean, Turning Point, and it's a worse version of the election of Trump entirely is just this massive system that has been preying upon people and trying to keep them inert and just trying to fucking convince them of all kinds of things that aren't real will be inevitably taken over by somebody who is simply simply Jesus.
Who is making the message simple, clear, and pretending to stand up for something?
dan friesen
And worse.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
You make the message worse and point out how, like, what was it?
I read some great take on it.
That was like, you'll always end up, the way that the conservative shit works, you'll always end up falling victim to someone who claims that you're not the real conservative.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
And they are.
You're not standing up for true conservative values.
jordan holmes
Because that's what you said when you took over.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
It's how it works.
dan friesen
So all that aside, you know, Turning Point USA has a very deep, entwined relationship with Trump.
And get this.
One of the places that Benny Johnson was fired from was the Independent Journal Review.
Before he got fired, the IJR was the only media outlet invited to come along with Rex Tillerson on his tour of Asia.
Seems like Alex's narrative doesn't make a whole lot of sense here because the guy who outed this alleged whistleblower's name is a guy who works for Turning Point, and Tillerson was involved with the organization that he used to be at.
And now the Trump White House is totally fine with Turning Point.
They're not trying to keep that information away from him.
Just in Force.
I wonder why.
Maybe there's another reason.
So now, as for Fiona Hill, that one's a little more complicated.
As you may recall, Hill is the former National Security Council official who has testified that after becoming aware that there was a bit of a quid pro quo situation going on between Trump's people and the Ukrainian government, John Bolton told her to lawyer up.
And she's testified about some stuff.
And that testimony is going to be pretty important in terms of this impeachment investigation because it's very explicit.
She was in meetings where people like Ambassador Sondland were discussing the shit pretty openly.
So whatever actually ends up happening on that front, it's very important for Alex to discredit her as a source of any information.
And luckily for him, he's already done that.
On May 31st, 2017, Roger Stone appeared on Alex's show and announced that he learned that George Soros had infiltrated the Trump administration by installing Fiona Hill into the National Security Committee.
Weirdly, she was appointed by Trump himself.
So I'm not exactly sure.
jordan holmes
Soros!
You wear so many masks!
dan friesen
I'm not sure how this conspiracy is supposed to have played out in the real world, but unfortunately, Roger isn't big on the details.
jordan holmes
I wonder why.
dan friesen
There's a couple important points here.
And then the first is that Alex and Roger spent the better part of three years calling literally everyone they disagreed with Soros infiltrators.
Reince Priebus, Steve Bannon, Sean Spicer.
Oh, and let's not forget Jared Kushner and Ivanka have all been in the crosshairs as Soros plants and globalist meddlers at various points in time.
Alex doesn't get to pretend that he was prophetic about Fiona Hill eventually testifying about Trump because he said on air that she was a Soros plant because he calls everyone a Soros plant.
It doesn't mean anything.
jordan holmes
He should have one episode at least where he just takes like an hour and just reads off every single name in the executive branch entirely and just be like, let's see, where are we at?
We're at assistant deputy director of the that's a Soros plant.
That way, six months from now, he can be like, see, I told you it was this one.
unidentified
Caught the clip.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
So probably the more important element to this is that in Hill's recent testimony, she talked about the real-life impact of Alex and Rogers' actions.
Quote, my entire first year of my tenure at the National Security Council was filled with hateful calls, conspiracy theories, which has started again, frankly, as it's been announced that I've been giving this deposition, accusing me of being a Soros mole in the White House.
She went on to say, quote, I received, I just have to tell you, death threats, calls at my home.
My neighbors reportedly reported someone coming and hammering on my door.
Fiona Hill's life very well could have been put in danger.
And at very least, an insane level of harassment was directed at her directly because of Alex and Rogers' on-air behavior.
According to her own resume, which you can find, it's very public, she was a member of the Central Eurasia Project Advisory Board of the Open Society Institute from 2000 to 2006, a good decade before she was appointed to the NSC by Trump himself.
That's the connection.
The smoking gun that's enough for people like Alex and Roger to point to.
That's all they need to risk your life because they're so desperate to come up with any kind of rationalization for why their supposed God-King isn't getting anything done.
These people are vile, irredeemable monsters.
No one should feel pity for Alex when he has to pay the Sandy Hook families for what he did to them.
We should instead feel for the countless other people who will never get any restitution for the abuse they've been subjected to by Alex.
Like, I don't give a fuck about this.
Like, this idea that, oh, we pointed out that Fiona Hill was a Soros plant.
Oh, she worked for the open societies.
Who cares?
Who cares?
Choose anybody on the NSC.
I bet you can find something to point to if you want to call them out.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's fucking bullshit, man.
jordan holmes
They're careers.
This is how that world works.
You just jump from weird position to weird position, even if they, you know.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And if you have a certain expertise, you'll find your way somewhere.
Like, I just think it's so insane to look at this sort of thing and recognize the real-life impact that you never hear about.
Like, you generally wouldn't hear about what Fiona Hill's experience was after being targeted by Alex.
And you almost think it's like a second thoughts, you know, like, or whatever.
You don't even think about it because he does this to so many people.
Yeah.
But there are real-life consequences, and she had to deal with clearly doxing, because if people were calling her home and someone showed up at her house, like, and sure, a lot of other conservative outlets were pushing that she was a Soros mole, but it traces back to Roger.
jordan holmes
So that fucking guy, man.
He better do time.
dan friesen
Yeah.
There's another funny wrinkle to this, but we're going to have to wait till a little later to get to that.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Because Alex goes to break after yelling about how we broke this CR Morello, which you didn't.
You just fucking posted a tweet from a guy at Turning Point and Fiona Hill stuff.
And it's not true and pointless.
So he goes to break and he comes back.
And I think that this is one of the grosser things I've heard Alex say.
alex jones
Oh, the Am I. Six founder and main funder of the White Helmets.
So ISIS.
Hell knows her al-Qaeda could jump back and forth between the ambulances and to their mortars and heavy machine guns.
Just got found dead in his home in Turkey.
Guess he didn't complete the mission like he was supposed to.
So now the cleanup crews are out.
Another so-called James Bond found out that James Bond's just a fantasy.
This is the reality.
Pushing daisies now.
Hmm.
Wonder.
Wonder what happened to him.
He looks so young and healthy.
I wonder how John McCain's doing.
He helped set all that up, too.
He's not doing too well now.
So I'm going to go to your phone calls starting next segment.
dan friesen
Gross fuck.
First things first, the founder of MI6 died in 1928.
The person who Alex is talking about is a guy named James Le Messerier, who, as far as I can tell, was a former officer of the British Army and co-founder of the White Helmets.
That's an organization that literally everyone in the world other than Alex and his weirdo friends view as a humanitarian group.
At this point, it's pretty unclear what the situation about this death is.
Sky News was reporting that James's wife told police that she and her husband had taken sleeping pills and gone to bed.
Then later, she was awoken by people knocking on her door.
She went outside to find him in the street, surrounded by police, having fallen off the balcony.
As someone who's taken sleeping pills before, I can say that it seems entirely possible that he might have had a weird reaction and sleepwalked off the balcony.
That's possible.
I don't know if that's the case for sure, but pharmacologically, that is a possibility.
His wife also apparently told friends that James had just begun taking antidepressants.
So the possibility of him dying by suicide is also not totally outside the realm of possibility.
There is a lot of possibilities of what could have happened here.
But Alex isn't acting like those things are possible.
He's treating this like it was a murder, and he's fucking gloating about it.
That's grotesque behavior, no matter what the reality is here.
Alex is acting like this is a murder because he believes that Russia killed this dude.
This is based on the fact that three days prior to his death, the Russian foreign ministry tweeted out, quote, the White Helmet's co-founder, James Le Messourier, is a former agent of Britain's MI6 who has been spotted all around the world, including in the Balkans and the Middle East.
The proof Alex has for his claim that this dude was MI6 is just the Russian Foreign Ministry's Twitter account.
And because of this tweet, Alex has decided that Russia killed him, and Alex is happy about this turn of events.
I know that I sound like a broken record on these modern-day episodes, but Alex Jones is severely mentally ill.
He's imagining a foreign government killed a man, and he's relishing it.
It doesn't get better from here, guys.
Like, get this guy to a hospital.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's fucked up.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And then just bringing Mega, then just bringing McCain up, like, okay.
All right.
So we're just going to gloat about people dying.
That's what we're doing now?
dan friesen
Yep, that's what he's doing.
jordan holmes
This is a big show.
dan friesen
But that's not so outside of his when David Rockefeller died.
He was so celebrating.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He does this shit a lot.
It's grotesque, childish behavior that he needs to figure out.
Yeah, he has a lot of work to do on himself.
jordan holmes
That's wild.
dan friesen
I don't think he has the emotional capital.
jordan holmes
Everything I read about Masurier seemed like he was a cool dude.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Cool dude.
dan friesen
I'm not one to pretend that I know a lot or like that I'm an expert in the Syrian civil war, but everything that I can find that isn't Alex Jones related deals with this as a humanitarian organization that rescued civilians who were caught up in battle zones.
So I don't, I mean, even imagining that he is a bad person, this behavior is still no good.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I just, I think he's a fucking asshole.
But he's also needing money.
alex jones
I'm begging you for yourself and your family's future and for the commitment of this broadcast that I want to defeat these people to please, please remember that it is only your word of mouth that gets us around the censors.
And it is only your financial support that funds the operation and only your prayer that I know if two of us agree upon it on earth, it's done in heaven.
That it is your intercession that is literally giving us discernment and it's not luck.
It's a man's heart chooses his path, but God guided our steps.
To quote a verse, I forget the verse.
But that's it.
And I need that.
I need that.
I absolutely need that.
dan friesen
Alex is playing real fast and loose with the Bible here.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So that first verse he's paraphrasing is Matthew 18, 19, which says, quote, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my father in heaven.
You could read that verse and think that you can get a buddy to join you in agreement about whatever you want, then God's going to make it so in heaven.
Well, that's a painfully dumb reading of the text.
If you take the verses that come before this and around it and context from the book of Acts, it's very clear that this is about the functions of the early church.
This is what this verse is about.
It has nothing to do with, you know, hey, you know, you guys get together.
We can make my operation functional.
unidentified
Yeah, like, what do you want in heaven?
dan friesen
A pool.
jordan holmes
A pool?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
All right.
I can agree.
I can go with a pool.
dan friesen
We just got a pool.
jordan holmes
We just got a pool in heaven.
dan friesen
Sweet.
jordan holmes
The Department of Treasury up in heaven is going to have some religious issues.
dan friesen
What if we want heaven not to exist?
unidentified
Ooh.
dan friesen
If we agree on that.
jordan holmes
Wow, now we're having to.
I don't know if I can agree with you on that.
We might fucking ruin the entire universe.
dan friesen
See, this is how this gets ludicrous real fast.
jordan holmes
Oh, you really have.
dan friesen
So the other one that he's citing is close enough.
That one is Proverbs 16, 9.
The one about man chooses his path, but God guides his steps.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Well, Alex is looking that one up, though, so he can make sure he actually knows what verse he's talking about.
You know, for future times he wants to cite this, he should read the rest of Proverbs 16.
Here's verses 27 and 28.
Quote, a worthless man digs up evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire.
A perverse man spreads dissension and a gossip divides close friends.
jordan holmes
I don't understand.
dan friesen
Maybe he'd prefer Proverbs 16, 32.
Quote, he who is slow to anger is better than a warrior, and he who controls his temper is greater than one who captures a city.
jordan holmes
And now I remember exactly why I hated reading Proverbs when I was growing up is because it's real judgy.
It's real judgy.
Who the fuck are you, Solomon?
How about shut up?
dan friesen
Seems like there's a whole lot in this one chapter of Proverbs that Alex didn't seem to absorb.
If I had to bet, I bet he saw that fucking verse on a mug.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah, 100%.
100%.
I cannot stress strongly enough.
I do not believe that Alex has ever read the Bible.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Not even close.
alex jones
Nope.
dan friesen
In the same way that all of his Thomas Jefferson quotes come from like memes and Patriot and right-wing extremist stuff, I bet a lot of his Bible stuff does too.
Like, and the weird sermons of extremist radio preachers, Christian identity preachers yelling about stuff.
So we got this whole vibe that's been going on that's like, hey, man, why is everybody so worried about InfoWars?
And obviously, Alex's rhetorical answer is because we revealed Fiona Hill and this whistleblower.
We have all this accurate information.
jordan holmes
Did it all.
dan friesen
Now, the real answer is because your behavior leads to people's lives being at risk.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, I mean, that too.
dan friesen
Wow.
That's the real reason that people take this seriously and are like, this probably we should be aware of this.
So Alex sort of mocks the idea of people being concerned about what he's doing.
And then he lists off some good people in Congress.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
alex jones
Why are they so worried about InfoWars?
Why are they still worried about Trump?
You see, the truth is they've sold out to the Shi Coms and others.
Pretty easy to run the country and run on the ground and sell it off.
We're fighting back against you.
We're not a bunch of yes men.
And neither is Congressman Scalesh or Congressman Jordan or Congressman Nunesh or some of the best senators that are up there.
Like the senator from Missouri, Hurley Turley.
All those guys are fighting hard.
dan friesen
Alex is trying to remember anything.
jordan holmes
Senator Hurley Turley?
dan friesen
He's trying to remember anyone he's supposed to like in the Senate, and he can't even come up with Josh Holly's name.
jordan holmes
Senator Hurley Turley.
dan friesen
Got to feel bad for Josh Holly.
jordan holmes
You're from Missouri.
Yeah, you spent a lot of time.
dan friesen
I wasn't in office this time.
jordan holmes
You voted for Senator Hurley Turley?
dan friesen
I did not.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Hurley Burley.
jordan holmes
Hurley Burley?
dan friesen
I voted for Donovan, the hurdy-gurdy man.
Some people call him Mello Yellow.
So now, as for the other people that Alex thinks are good in the house, Steve Scalise once described himself as David Duke without the baggage.
jordan holmes
Hey, come on now.
dan friesen
That one's not great.
But Jim Jordan's even worse for Alex to support.
Just this week, it came out that a man who was one of the victims of the Ohio State Athletic Doctor's sexual assaults in the mid-90s directly reported the act to Jim Jordan, who was then the school's wrestling coach, and Jordan did nothing.
43 men have filed the lawsuit claiming that they were victims of this doctor.
And an independent investigation that OSU did found that he abused at least 177 students in the 20 years that he worked at the school.
Consistently in the past, Jordan has tried to claim that he never knew anything about the doctor's abuse of students, but this definitely seems to make that sound like bullshit, especially considering this is the second victim to say that they directly told Jordan about it.
And to be clear, this is a much bigger issue than just focusing on Jim Jordan.
There's a whole system of complicity that needs to be held to account.
And the plaintiffs in that case do not deserve for their day in court to be reduced to a political sideshow.
So please do not let that be the image of my point.
All that being said, when Alex has to come up with any politicians he's into, all he can come up with is a dime store David Duke, a thrift shop Joe Paterno, Devin Nunes, and a guy from Missouri whose name he doesn't know but remembers has said some fucked up things that he liked in the past.
I guess Rand Paul doesn't make the cut anymore.
jordan holmes
He's just not in there anymore.
He's not making a headline.
That's nuts.
He's somehow a more moderate version of these fucking Looney Tunes cats.
dan friesen
It's so nuts that Alex is like, he's going with the guy from Missouri, Hurdy Gurdy.
jordan holmes
Hurdy Gurdy.
Can't remember Senator Rand Paul.
dan friesen
Can't come up with Ron Paul's kid.
So I told you that there was going to be another wrinkle to the situation with Alex's coverage of Fiona Hill.
Sure.
And it comes up in this next clip because Alex accidentally plays the wrong clip, but it's from the same day that Roger did the Fiona Hill stuff.
And it reminded me of something that a lot of people might not.
It wouldn't jump out in other people's minds, but because I'm borderline obsessed with all this stuff, it made me laugh so fucking hard.
alex jones
Here's Roger Stone in 2017.
And we got another clip of him just a year and a half ago breaking down John Kelly, how they were working with Steve Bannon to bring in the deep state and all these Soros people like Fiona Hill and Eric Ciaramella.
roger stone
What does Bannon do?
He leaves in August, and by October, he has a financial deal with Kwok to finance a bid to finance Breitbart as the Mercers, who I do think are patriots, appear to be ready to throw in.
alex jones
So let's be clear, he's calling Trump a traitor at the same time talking to a snake reporter that he brought Into the hen house and at the same time using national security intel to then go basically get money off of somebody so that he could be the person's political protector by every stretch of the imagination, by every historical yardstick.
This sounds like treason to me.
And then that's a particular clip dealing with Van and the clips we have.
You can just type into Google if you want.
dan friesen
So on one level, that clip is funny to me because once again, Alex's staff can't manage to play any of the clips that he wants them to.
He sets up what's supposed to be a slam dunk of Roger talking about Fiona Hill and this whistleblower, and it's just Roger from that same episode talking about Steve Bannon.
But here's where this gets really funny.
You might have heard Roger say something about a guy named Quok in that clip.
And this is a reference to a man named Miles Kwok having nefarious intentions behind some alleged financing of Breitbart.
You should know that Miles Kwok sued Roger Stone for defamation for this claim, along with a few others, like Roger saying that Quok was a convicted criminal.
And so he sued him for $100 million.
jordan holmes
Did he get it?
dan friesen
On December 17th, 2018, Roger settled that case, made a public apology, and admitted that he'd repeated lies on InfoWars.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
There it is.
dan friesen
Part of this settlement was that he had to pay for three advertisements retracting his statements in national newspapers.
Part of the story that Alex is currently using to attack Fiona Hill is based on stuff that got Roger sued and led to him having to buy ads in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post to retract.
Oh, also, I hope that re-airing the story doesn't end up getting Roger's settlement agreement voided.
Oh, I think it might.
jordan holmes
That is hilarious.
That is so funny.
That is so goddamn funny.
dan friesen
Anyone knows Miles Kwok?
alex jones
Feel free to.
jordan holmes
Oh, God, that would bring such a smile to my face.
dan friesen
If all of a sudden Alex got a part of this narrative that Alex is now trying to repurpose because Fiona Hill is testifying against Trump in this impeachment investigation, part of the original context of it is stuff that got Roger sued and he had to retract.
jordan holmes
Man, they got to figure out a way to quarantine certain things, you know?
dan friesen
Sure, you should.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You can't in this case.
unidentified
Yeah, well.
dan friesen
They're tied together.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
No, that's what I'm saying.
dan friesen
And so now Alex re-bringing it up, I think, actually could put Roger in legal jeopardy if anyone cares.
jordan holmes
I think you're right.
dan friesen
I just mean like, and even if it doesn't, even if it doesn't.
Yeah.
whatever Alex is repeating of Roger's stuff here is all under the umbrella of stuff.
He's had to retract.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
No, that's what I'm saying.
If you get sued for something, just take all of the day's footage and just be like, put a big red X on it with a circle around it.
We've created stop signs for this very reason.
dan friesen
You guys just can't do it.
jordan holmes
We can't put this one.
Guys, one, I don't trust you.
You're shit.
You know it.
I know it.
We've been doing this show for a few months now.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You guys suck.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So don't touch that.
No.
Look at my eyes.
Don't touch the red tapes.
Hey.
Hey.
dan friesen
If you play this again, Roger might have to pay Miles Kwok $100 million.
jordan holmes
Don't touch the red tapes.
Touch the red tapes?
unidentified
No!
jordan holmes
God damn it.
We'll start from the beginning.
dan friesen
So I told you at the beginning of this episode that about halfway through or so, we would get to like a very clear reason why I need, you know, we have to do this episode.
And here's what it is.
Alex believes that that book that the New York Times is putting out, or is, I don't know if the New York Times is putting out, but anyway, that anonymous.
jordan holmes
The anonymous one, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
That is about a warning about Trump.
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
jordan holmes
Again, whatever.
dan friesen
Who cares?
Fuck off.
Alex is convinced that John Bolton wrote the anonymous book.
And I almost gasped when he told the audience why he believes this.
alex jones
We have the New York Times coming out.
jordan holmes
New York Times.
alex jones
Saying they're getting ready to publish this anonymous book.
The word is it's John Bolton who we know wants to testify against the president.
Even though there's a separation of powers, the president by law supposed to be able to keep him from doing it.
He wants to go bear the false witness because he's a neocon, was always a neocon, but lied to Trump's face that he would try to carry out the president's agenda, the person that we elected.
Book review is a warning anonymous author makes case against re-election.
And Steve Pieczenik, who's worked with a lot of these people, says that John Bolton is today's Benedict Arnold.
Here he is from his YouTube channel.
unidentified
Okay.
Hi, this is Dr. Pieczenik, and today I want to talk about John Bolton, the Benedict Arnold of America.
dan friesen
Holy shit.
Does Alex expect his audience to legitimately have no memory of the side characters in his little play?
How can he play a clip from Steve's YouTube page after their unceremonious falling out where Alex decided he was still working for the CIA doing psyops against InfoWars by trying to convince Alex that the Las Vegas shooting didn't even happen?
Legitimately, what the fuck is this show?
Some guest is determined to be a deep state spy running operations against you, so you just put them in timeout for a little while.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I'm like, ah, fuck it.
Who cares?
jordan holmes
Everybody, America's about second chances, Dan.
dan friesen
Fucking insane.
jordan holmes
So is going to Korea, whether or not you actually did.
dan friesen
This is nuts.
jordan holmes
Has Steve been back on the show?
dan friesen
No, and we'll get to why.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
It's not what you think.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
But that is what happened back when their falling out happened.
But Alex gives a little bit more detail about that in a little bit.
Before we get there, I want to say this about Steve Pieczenik.
He's a lunatic, but he's consistent.
Steve Pieczenik hates neocons and has consistently, insistently tried to get Alex to be on the same page as him with no real success.
Steve was always there telling Alex not to trust neocons like Neil Gorsuch or John Bolton, but Alex didn't listen.
He let Roger Stone talk him into being okay with those dudes.
Steve Pieczenik is a big old fraud and a con man, but I will tip my hat to him for being pretty consistent.
He's crazy and a liar, but he has some form of principles, which is more than I can say for Alex.
Like, legitimately, how fucking humiliating is it for Alex to say on his show that Steve is probably still working for the CIA, which he didn't actually work for to begin with, and running psyops on his own audience, then allow him back on the show.
Do you think it's possible that Alex just doesn't even remember that he and Steve parted on those bad terms?
Because it's not real.
jordan holmes
Stop CIA watches right once a day.
dan friesen
that's the rule right so you can still use no i have no idea But like Alex, he knows that none of this stuff that he talks about is real.
So obviously the fight between him and Steve about like, oh, he's probably still running psyops on our audience.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He knows that he's just making that up because he's sick of Steve.
jordan holmes
I imagine the way that I saw the whole breakup playing out was something behind the scenes where Steve is like, I want to say things are false flags.
And Alex is like, we can't do it.
The heat is on me right now.
Don't do that.
And Steve said it was a false flag.
And he was like, I told you not to say that on my fucking show.
dan friesen
That might actually be correct.
jordan holmes
And then they stop talking for a while.
And then, you know, he creates the whole, I'm making up a deep state narrative.
And then it's, you know, now we're fine.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's possibly true.
But Alex wants Steve back on the show now.
jordan holmes
Of course he does.
alex jones
A lot of calls about Steve Pieczenik.
We ought to get him back on the show.
jordan holmes
Why?
alex jones
Thad in Utah wants to talk about Pachenek.
So does Casey.
He's saying that the mole or the anonymous person of the New York Times is Bolton.
Well, I said that back when he got in.
dan friesen
No, Steve.
alex jones
And he is the one.
And now he's going to testify against the president.
dan friesen
So the callers really want Steve back on.
He goes to a call.
This caller wants more Steve.
Okay.
And then Alex explains what's happened.
unidentified
It's amazing to hear Steve Pieczenik on your program again.
It's been a while.
Alex.
alex jones
Yeah, if you want him, come on.
He's refused to come on the show.
unidentified
He's refused to come on the show.
Well, I think everybody should know you took a lot of flack, Alex, you know, because Dr. Steve was the one who originally brought up the idea that there could be some kind of ulterior motive with Sandy Hook.
And you know what?
All those press people that say that they protect their sources, I mean, you're actually that guy, Alex.
You're the one that didn't say, put anything on Dr. Steve.
You protected Dr. Steve.
And I admire that about you, man.
Well, look out.
alex jones
I'm not trying to put him down.
You were just kind of like, hey, where's Pachenek?
And I get a lot of that.
So I'm like, well, he refuses to come on the show.
We've invited him on the show many times.
And I'm not going to say he's a coward.
I know he got put under a lot of heat coming on.
He's been called into federal court.
He's been called into federal court on other things that were said on the show.
So there's a lot of stuff behind the scenes.
And he's still speaking out and saying more bold things than ever that I agree with.
The things I've seen are dead on.
And so, yeah, he's been a source on many things.
We have a lot of other sources.
And he's invited on the show tomorrow.
I might have just pissed him off, too, one day.
I was up here.
I had a guest on before.
I made him hold like 15 minutes.
Then he got real pissed off and said, you know, I'm not coming on anymore.
He's made me hold or whatever.
unidentified
Yeah.
alex jones
And I'm like, well, I'm like, well, come on.
I won't make you hold.
He goes, no, I'm too old.
Hung up on me.
So that's the last conversation I had with him.
So I get it.
He's an old, cranky man.
But he's a good guy.
He should come back on the show.
jordan holmes
That was wild.
That was a rollercoaster ride right there.
That was a fucking rollercoaster of a, I want this.
This man is my friend.
I mean, he's a coward.
He's a fucking coward because we've invited him on the show.
He's a fucking coward.
I think he's got a lot of great, really good things to say.
I mean, he's a bitter, angry old man sitting alone in his fucking house who won't come on my goddamn show.
I love him.
He's been a great friend of mine for a long time.
Jesus.
dan friesen
I know from listening to the show that their fighting existed before the break up, let's say.
Like when Alex called him in the middle of a hurricane.
jordan holmes
I'm going to go with it was the hurricane that started.
dan friesen
But that wasn't the end of it.
Steve appeared after that.
alex jones
Right.
dan friesen
It was the last appearance was surrounding the Las Vegas shooting.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And Alex having callers call in and say, I think Steve's probably still working in PsyOps.
And Alex's like, yep, that's fair to say.
jordan holmes
Probably.
dan friesen
And then they didn't have him back on anymore.
So when I hear that, I mean, obviously, none of the stuff that Alex talks about is real.
jordan holmes
Nor is any of the stuff Steve Pieczenik talks about.
dan friesen
Absolutely not.
So what you kind of are left with is they probably did have a fight behind the scenes about whatever petty nonsense Alex making him hold or maybe it is not letting him say everything is fake.
And then Alex on air, the way he talks about it is he's probably still working for the CIA.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
So you have that lie to cover up just a petty disagreement between two liars.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
And it's clearly, now that he put it that way, now that he put it that way, then yeah, it is 100% a petty bullshit.
Clearly, it has something to do with one of them talking on the phone and them having an argument and him being like, you know what?
I don't need you.
And Alex being like, I don't need you.
dan friesen
And that's it.
You know, you want to kind of believe that Alex believes that Steve is working in Psyops.
And that's like, it's more interesting.
But the reality is all of that is window dressing.
That's all just, that's a narrative in and of itself.
Whereas the reality is just got into a fight with this old man.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
That is not as much fun to say on Infowars.
That's not the place where you...
dan friesen
But when push comes to shove and you have a bunch of people calling in and being like, where's Steve?
We want more Steve.
You can't be like, No.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
You can't just coward, bitter asshole who lives in fucking Florida.
dan friesen
And I want to have him back on.
I've tried to have him back on.
jordan holmes
He's got a standing invitation.
dan friesen
So, anyway, the reason that we have a little bit of the 12th is because Alex said an open invitation for Steve to come on tomorrow.
So this is why I was hoping he would come back on tomorrow.
And he doesn't.
So we just have a couple.
You know what?
If I were better at teases, I would say maybe he does.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Spoiler alert, he doesn't.
jordan holmes
He doesn't.
dan friesen
But we have a few clips from the 12th, but I thought we're still like, well, if I'm listening to this episode, you're already there.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
So Alex gets another caller who wants to talk about chemtrails.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
And there's not much, like, I don't know how to set up this clip.
I just thought it was really insane.
unidentified
I remember you saying, I can't think of how long ago it was, but it's over a year.
You were talking about them terraforming the planet.
And really, the way that strikes me now is this thing terraformed for AI.
Even the chemtrails, the stratospheric aerosol injection with a metallic oxide, makes everything more receptive to frequency.
And this control grid, the cybernetic control grid, you know, is more or less run on frequencies.
I mean, EMF, the RF, ULF, everything.
alex jones
That's right.
And what did they tell you in Transcendence with Johnny Depp?
Because AI becomes a dust that is in the sky.
That is a smart dust where they can have a whole computer system, you know, way more advanced than even a smartphone in a single molecule.
And then it will be everything and absorb us.
And that's the endgame plan where you can't escape it.
And they're now already putting the binary weapon system into you, the aluminum dioxide and the other systems, so that then when the nanotech hits, they believe it will then be able to find a place in your body and bind to that.
And then through the 678G they're already rolling out and test, it will then be able to oscillate and program that to basically kill you, fry you.
dan friesen
As we learned in Johnny Depp movie.
jordan holmes
Starring Johnny Depp.
unidentified
Yes.
jordan holmes
Why would you be working on 8G if you haven't gotten 6G finished yet?
dan friesen
Or five, really?
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Who gives a shit?
dan friesen
It's all just like, listen to that and think for one fucking second.
That's on the level of they want Globalists want to bring back gladiator games to decrease the population.
Fuck out of here.
jordan holmes
I like that.
dan friesen
Get the fuck out of here with your Johnny Depp movie.
jordan holmes
As we learned from Transcendence starring Johnny Depp, right?
dan friesen
I found that Johnny Depp DVD in the WikiLeaks.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
The fuck out of here.
So anyway, Alex has a guest that's not Steve Pieczenik.
Yeah.
And it's also not Glenn Danzig, but he was a lead singer of the Misfits.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
Well, a guy named Michael Graves, who is the later singer of the Misfits when they came back.
And I regret to inform you that this guy is very dumb.
jordan holmes
He's not as smart as Danzig.
dan friesen
I don't know.
I've never heard Danzig on Infowars.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
So I can't really judge.
jordan holmes
From what I know about Danzig, he's actually a pretty cool fucking dude.
dan friesen
I don't know enough to say.
I like the name Danzig.
jordan holmes
It's great.
dan friesen
For sure.
But this guy is listening to him was tough.
michale graves
Right.
So to prepare for today, and I went to Infowars.com, and there's the report up about Roger Stone talking about Steve Bannon and yourself.
And he references and talks about Miles Kwok, who is this Chinese national who China's looking to expedite back to China for his crimes.
And that ties together Steve Bannon and how Steve Bannon Was basically infiltrating the Trump campaign for his own gain.
And then I started to think about the chessboard.
dan friesen
This is legitimately what got Roger Stone sued.
Like, he's literally just talking about these conspiracy theories about Miles Kwok that got Roger Stone sued.
jordan holmes
Wow.
dan friesen
Hopefully, Michael Graves doesn't now get sued.
jordan holmes
Man, I mean, he was also talking about them in a manner of taking his sweet fucking time about it as well.
dan friesen
He was.
jordan holmes
That is a long, and I, obviously, I have no issue with stuttering at all, but man, that was stupid shit.
dan friesen
It's very dumb.
The thoughts are very stupid.
Like, I was preparing for this episode, and so I watched something that got Roger sued, and he had to retract.
So the only reason to watch that is with that context of the interesting element of it is he got sued.
Yeah, like look for signs of awareness that he's lying because he is.
jordan holmes
That is so funny.
That is so funny that you're coming on the show and you're coming in pretty.
It seems like he's coming in fairly blank.
Like, he's not a regular InfoWars listener.
So he just.
He is?
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
Yeah.
He actually last year got kicked off a festival because he had made some social media posts supporting Alex Jones really aggressively about white genocide fury.
unidentified
Sure, sure, sure.
dan friesen
Yeah, so he, no, he's a big InfoWars.
jordan holmes
So the Misfits turned into Nazi punks?
dan friesen
He's not in the Misfits anymore.
jordan holmes
Okay, good.
Because he is a Nazi.
dan friesen
I don't know exactly why.
I 100% didn't care to look into his trajectory or anything, but I did find a story about him getting kicked off this festival.
jordan holmes
That's hilarious.
See, now I imagine it in my head is he's coming on the show and they're like, hey, it's this guy from the Misfits.
And he just happens to listen to one episode to prepare to go on the show.
And he just happens to remember the one part that is the only part of that episode that is literally a crime.
dan friesen
Nope.
He's a fan and he still made that mistake.
jordan holmes
He still went to the crime.
Okay.
dan friesen
Well, that's one of the problems with Alex's rhetoric is that, like, in InfoWars world, Roger Stone didn't get sued for this.
jordan holmes
That's true.
That is true.
dan friesen
So why would the audience get it?
jordan holmes
They don't know.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
They don't know.
Oh, what?
Did they read it in the fucking Wall Street Journal?
No, they did not.
dan friesen
Info Wars post an article about Roger Stone having to admit that he peddled lies.
unidentified
Uh-uh.
dan friesen
Nope.
So anyway, this guy, again, this Misfit singer, very stupid.
And so they start talking about the lawyer for the alleged whistleblower, C.R. O'Malla.
And this is kind of a thing that Alex has been going on this entire show.
But I think this is an okay articulation of it.
michale graves
Everything that is on the chessboard, and I went down the rabbit hole starting with Mark Zayd, who's the whistleblower's lawyer.
This guy that has pictures of himself at Disney World and is clearly linked to some sort of child.
alex jones
He's a total rabazoid.
Have you seen the latest thing?
100% where he says I represent pedophiles.
Security clearances.
michale graves
And it's still up on Twitter for everybody to see.
alex jones
He's flaunting it.
dan friesen
So this guy, Mark Zaid, is the lawyer for the whistleblower who made the complaints against Trump.
For most of the show, Alex has been peppering in references to him being a pedophile based on a tweet where he says that he has gotten security clearances for people who have child porn issues.
Alex, and now the former lead singer of the Misfits seem to think that he's just bragging, but they don't take into account that that's not just something he tweeted.
It's a reply to another tweet.
The original tweet is from Slate.
It's a link to an article about how Rob Porter, former Trump White House staff secretary, was able to get security clearance even though he'd been accused of domestic violence by both of his ex-wives.
In context, it's clear that Zayd's comment is about how a lot of things don't actually preclude people from receiving security clearances.
It seems more like a you think that's bad kind of comment more than anything else.
So they're twisting that.
So another thing that Alex points to is a tweet that Zayd made from August 29th, 2019.
And Alex is claiming that it's him bragging about knowing Jeffrey Epstein.
The tweet is a link to an article with the headline, quote, Jeffrey Epstein's little-known lawyer lands in the spotlight.
Zayd commented, not sure if being a little-known lawyer is a good thing or bad, though associated with Epstein, probably a good thing.
This is being taken to mean that Zayd is saying that associating with Epstein is a good thing.
That's what Alex is saying, which is a terrible reading of the tweet.
No.
He's saying that for this lawyer, if he's associated with Epstein, being little-known is a good thing.
That article in the Wall Street Journal is not about Zayd.
It's about another lawyer.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, there's a better sentence structure there, but Alex is willfully.
You know what?
Maybe he's not willfully misreading it.
Maybe he just is that incapable of reading it.
dan friesen
It's not a poorly constructed, it's very easy to follow if you're not a fucking idiot.
jordan holmes
I know.
That's what I'm saying.
dan friesen
As for this guy taking pictures at Disney, who knows?
Maybe he's got a family.
I have no fucking idea.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you that this guy definitely isn't a major cog in the globalist blood-drinking child ring, but I am going to say that the evidence being presented here is not what I would call convincing.
I really expect more from the non-Danzig lead singer of the Mistance.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Also, the bigger picture problem exists here with Alex's narrative surrounding pedophiles in general.
I generally try not to cover this side of Alex's rhetoric too much because I feel even deconstruction of it is toxic.
And I really, really hate what he does about this sort of topic.
However, I need to point out one gigantic problem with his beliefs.
We know that Alex believes that there's a gigantic globalist blackmail ring where the evil blood-drinking globalists keep their politicians and media figures in line with threats of revealing that they're pedophiles.
We also know that Alex believes that the globalists are trying to normalize pedophilia, which he screams about all the time.
From lies about Nambla being a UN organization to screaming about articles in Salon to lies about the LGBTQ community adding a P to his disgusting rhetoric surrounding Drag Queen story time.
It's very, very constant as a thread of his rhetoric that they're trying to normalize pedophilia.
Now, the problem with these things are that they both cannot be true at the same time.
If the globalists use pedophile blackmail to maintain their power, the last thing that they would ever do is try to normalize pedophilia.
The second they achieve normalization, they instantly lose literally all control they ever have had over politics, the media, or the economy.
To put it bluntly, these two things are in direct opposition, and no evil organization would ever pursue both.
But you know what kind would?
You know what kind of organization would?
jordan holmes
A fictitious one?
dan friesen
Yeah, a one that Alex is just making up as he goes along.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that one would do that.
unidentified
I can guarantee you that that's so offensive.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
That's so stupid.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Fuck this guy.
And fuck the Misfits, just by extension.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Danzig is still pretty cool, though.
dan friesen
I'm not going to say either way.
jordan holmes
This is when I find out that somebody's going to, now I'm going to get a tweet and it's going to be like, Danzig murdered.
And I'm like, God damn it.
dan friesen
So the Misfits lead singer guy has some other stupid thoughts.
michale graves
And he's also connected to the James Madison Project.
dan friesen
He's talking about the whistleblowers lawyers, though.
michale graves
It's also on the board of the James Madison Project.
That's connected to John Podesta, which is connected to the Center for American Progress, which is connected to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is connected to the ACLU funded by George Soros.
alex jones
We got him.
And that's what the ACLU will not defend free speech.
They got bought.
dan friesen
That's not true.
But this is a fun game.
jordan holmes
We got him.
dan friesen
This is a fun game, so I want to play it.
So this lawyer, right?
He's involved with the James Madison Project.
A guy named David Kahn is also one of the board members of the James Madison Project.
Kahn started a journal called Cryptologia, which is put out by Rutledge Publishing, which was founded by George Rutledge, who distributed many of the writings of Benjamin Disraeli, who is seen as the founder of British conservatism, which has led us to Boris Johnson.
unidentified
So he must clearly be in on the conspiracy.
jordan holmes
I wish I could refute you, but that checks out.
dan friesen
I feel like that one got away from me a little bit, so I want to try again.
jordan holmes
You got real excited.
dan friesen
I feel like I also maybe lost the thread.
So I'm going to try again.
jordan holmes
I don't know why Benjamin Disraeli.
Never mind.
You need a better connection between Disraeli and Johnson.
All right, that's all I'm saying.
dan friesen
So another board member is Thomas Sussman, who is a partner at the law firm Ropes and Gray.
You know who else was a partner at Ropes and Gray?
Jane Willis, who was also a member of the famous MIT blackjack team, whose story was turned into that movie 21, which starred Jim Sturgis, who was also in the movie Cloud Atlas, which Soros probably had something to do with.
Seems like a globalist movie.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
Come on.
You got to end these better.
You got to end these better than George Soros probably had something to do with Cloud Atlas.
You just wanted to talk about Cloud Atlas.
You may love that movie.
dan friesen
This is stupid shit.
And again, I expect more from my rock band Lead Singers.
I also regret to inform you, this interview does not get better.
jordan holmes
I didn't imagine.
dan friesen
This is the level of shit that's being brought to the table.
jordan holmes
It's the highest.
dan friesen
This six degrees of Soros game that he's deciding to play.
jordan holmes
Yeah, see, I don't expect more from my lead singers, but I do expect more from people who sound like Eddie Bravo.
And man, gotta stop it, man.
dan friesen
So this is pretty funny because Alex is like, hey, I got the lead singer here, guy from the Misfits in.
I'm going to come back from break with a Misfits track.
unidentified
Hollywood!
alex jones
It's definitely Hollywood Babylon, and now Hollywood is collapsing.
You're just getting into how horrible the Pacific Northwest is, how bad L.A. is.
dan friesen
That's a Danzig era.
Misfits song.
jordan holmes
I feel like it's a little insulting.
He sings it.
dan friesen
Yeah, but it's a reminder that he's not dancing.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's true.
He is definitely not dancing.
Did he write anything?
He did not help write songs.
There's no way.
unidentified
This guy?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Maybe for some of their like in that era of albums.
Yeah, probably.
unidentified
Fair enough.
dan friesen
So anyway, you know, this guy, of course, hates Hillary Clinton.
And here you go.
michale graves
They need to discredit the Liberty Movement.
Remember what Hillary Clinton said.
Remember what she called us.
Irredeemable.
alex jones
Deplorables.
michale graves
When you look up irredeemable, the definition of irredeemable is not.
She said that, too.
You're right.
And I actually, and I looked it up.
alex jones
It means worthless crap.
No value.
Can't fix it.
Get rid of it.
michale graves
Deserving strong condemnation, shockingly bad in quality.
We were talking about Auschwitz.
We were talking about camps before.
That was signaling to us what's going to happen when somebody like Hillary Clinton and her minions get control when they cede control back and push what they are trying to do.
It really is camps.
And it really is coming to get us.
jordan holmes
Because of the word irredeemable?
dan friesen
I guess.
Okay.
So we're back to FEMA camps.
We're back to that.
So congratulations.
We've made a lap.
And this guy is still back on that.
So I'm thrilled for him.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he didn't get the earlier shows where Alex was on board with FEMA camps, right?
dan friesen
Well, for people who are coming from Central and South America, yes.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
For non-white people, yes.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Gotcha, gotcha.
dan friesen
Right is actually good.
jordan holmes
It is good.
Yes.
dan friesen
But only not if FEMA is doing it to white conservative gun owners.
It's good for people who were born a couple miles away from the border.
jordan holmes
Wow, you know that.
unidentified
You know how many miles it takes to be okay with a FEMA camp?
dan friesen
Human rights are arbitrary.
They are.
jordan holmes
Based on borders that are imaginary.
dan friesen
So this guy, this Misfits lead singer, he has read a lot about World War II.
jordan holmes
Oh, no, he's not allowed to.
dan friesen
Which is a good start to a sentence, but where it goes is not.
jordan holmes
This guy should not be allowed to read about World War II.
michale graves
I read a lot about World War II.
I've read a lot about the death camps.
And one of the things that I find when you read about that history, when you read about the people that were involved in that, it's always the same thing.
The people in these communities, in the Jewish communities that were sort of far removed from it, were always said, ah, well, you know, we heard about it and we didn't really think it was a big deal.
And then it got a little bit worse.
And then we got concerned.
Next thing you know, they were on a train headed to a death camp.
alex jones
Because George Soros was 14, but looked even younger.
He was called a bloodhound.
He was able to find people hiding, but he'd rat them out.
michale graves
And he says that was the happiest time in his life, right?
The happiest time in his life.
alex jones
And what a villain.
And then the ADL calls him a Holocaust survivor.
dan friesen
I have, like, it's perhaps the most open and shut case for defamation against for Alex related to his Soros shit.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
The fact that he's now escalated this from his original rhetoric, which was just this vague ideas about he's a Nazi collaborator.
Now he's turned it into very consistently saying that he would actually, he was a bloodhound and he would go around and hunt out Jews and report them.
The fact that he says this on his own show and would go on Joe Rogan's show and say, when he gets pushback, when Rogan says, that's not true, that's not what this interview that he did says.
When Alex says on Rogan's show, it's an open question, that is proof of malice.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
That is proof of actual.
jordan holmes
100%.
dan friesen
So if George Soros wanted to destroy Alex, he has him anytime he wants to.
unidentified
Please, please do it.
dan friesen
I think that this is one of the examples of the benevolence of Alex's enemies.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
That they don't, well, I mean, it's not benevolence to the rest of the world, but towards Alex, he is living on borrowed time.
jordan holmes
And that time has somehow been 25 fucking years, you know?
dan friesen
Yeah, I mean, before he went on Rogan's show, I think it would be very difficult to demonstrate that he doesn't or that he knows that what he's saying is shit.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Like the fact, like you kind of have to prove that someone knows what they're saying isn't true.
Right.
With public figures, which George Soros definitely would be.
Yes.
You'd have to reach that standard.
And I think that that standard is completely met.
So anyway, I hope George Soros doesn't decide to do that, Alex.
That's, you are fucked.
jordan holmes
I think Barnes listens to this and tomorrow he's just going to be like, ooh, Cha Ching.
Cha Ching, I'm going to own him for wars.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So that's the end of the 11th stuff because it's mostly him just talking to this Misfits guy more, and he is very dumb, and it's very boring.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So we have a little bit here from the 12th because I was listening because I wanted to see if Steve was going to come on because that is very relevant to my interests.
jordan holmes
Yeah, there's no way we could have listened to this episode today and then been like, well, we'll try and see if he comes back on.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, we're recording this on the 12th, so it was very difficult for me to listen to all of this and then turn around and have an episode.
But I would have done it if Steve was on, and apparently I have to, even if Steve's not.
But most of it I probably would have just ignored because it's all just gun fears.
It's just gun paranoia.
But Alex said some things I was like, yeah, I got to cut a clip of that.
Because Alex, I think that he's saying that there's space wars going on.
Okay.
alex jones
Most people just can't handle it.
I have seen past the veil.
The globalists know that too.
I've seen really far.
And I've seen things that are, let's just say, interesting.
And I can tell you that this level of conflict is only the surface.
And the conflict is a lot bigger than we even know.
And a lot more serious.
Let's just say the universe is a very interesting place.
And there are some big wars going on, ladies and gentlemen.
So we need to get off this rock and go to the next level because God needs us.
And you need to understand that.
dan friesen
That doesn't seem that different from Project Camelot shit to me.
That sounds like he's saying that there's space wars going on.
I think God needs us in the space wars.
jordan holmes
I think he is literally saying that there are wars going on in space.
there are space wars and he's not doing any.
He's, he said, God needs us, but this isn't, this isn't him talking about like heaven and hell wars.
This is him being like, we need to get off this rock, the planet, in order to join wars in space, the universe.
So I'm going to go with, he believes that his fictitious enemies know that he has pierced the veil of human consciousness and is capable of, let's say, viewing remotely wars happening around the universe.
dan friesen
And that they are on the side that is bad in the space wars, much like the reptilians and rabbitoids.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Whereas Alex knows that we have raptor allies in space to help out.
We need to get off this planet so we can help the raptors.
jordan holmes
And God is involved.
dan friesen
It's not that different.
jordan holmes
Nope.
And one of his callers, I am sure, has a telescope.
I guarantee it.
dan friesen
I believe that too.
So just after that, after he's talking a little bit about space wars, he talks to a caller.
And this guy, this guy's fucked up.
alex jones
What else do you think we should do?
I mean, because yes, the war is now, and these people are relentless because it's a spiritual fight.
unidentified
It is a spiritual battle.
And the reason why is because good Christian people have permitted a lot of things to happen.
By controlling the language, they can control what you think.
By controlling your thoughts, they can control your actions because thought precedes action, and it keeps you in a very controllable state.
And then whatever you allow to happen, there was a time in history when Christians control this arena so powerfully that cockroaches like these people had to live in the shadows and do their business in the shadows and under the cover of darkness.
Now it is in plain sight.
It is in daylight.
And there is not enough good Christians that are calling them exactly what they are, which are demons.
And they need to be hunted, found, and politically assassinated is what they need to be.
alex jones
Absolutely, brother.
We're going to do this new caller show soon.
Get his name and number.
That's another all these callers should be on the show.
We're going to start more live shows.
They're caller-driven.
I'm trying to get to more calls here on there, as you've been hearing, and you guys are awesome.
Thank you.
dan friesen
So this caller is expressing political assassinations are needed for our rivals who are demons, and they've been allowed to run around because Christians aren't in control strongly enough anymore.
jordan holmes
And Alex's response to that is the guy who's on 24-7.
dan friesen
I mean, I also think that there's probably, I mean, there's really no difference, but there is a linguistic difference between these people need to be assassinated politically and politically assassinated.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's a contextual difference between those two things that I think makes what this guy's saying, I think he's trying to play Alex's little verbal game, but what he's saying is incredibly scary.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
These people are so fucked up.
jordan holmes
I cannot engage with anybody who starts a sentence, but there was a time.
dan friesen
Oh.
jordan holmes
Just like, fuck you.
Give me specifics or go fuck yourself.
dan friesen
So Alex does have a guest on the 12th, and it was disappointing because it wasn't Steve Pieczenik, but it was the Misfits lead singer again.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
He's in Austin for a little bit.
Oh, we don't have any clips of it because he's so.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Yeah, that's awful.
dan friesen
But Alex has another guest.
And it's Stuart Rhodes of the Oathkeepers.
jordan holmes
Oh, who is going to be the next lead singer of the Mitzfits?
Could be.
dan friesen
Could be.
So in his appearance, Stuart is really expressing some ideas that are going to lead towards violence, quite honestly.
He expresses here that Trump was the last peaceful option.
jordan holmes
No.
stewart rhodes
He was a firewall that we threw up as a last effort to try to do this peacefully.
We threw it up as a firewall and voted for Trump and put him in office, but they can't let that play out.
They've got to remove him through whatever means necessary.
And they're about to use the 25th Amendment.
You saw that, where psychiatrists are now asking to testify in front of the house.
alex jones
By the way, you're supposed to lose your license right away under the Goldwater rule if you diagnose someone from afar.
stewart rhodes
Right.
They haven't even examined him and interviewed him or anything.
It's just political warfare.
But, you know, let's just know that we've done all we can.
We're abdicated in some ways from having any restraint once they do this.
alex jones
Well, they're going to stage terror attacks, though, to make any physical response look improper.
Let's wargame this when we come back.
dan friesen
So what Stewart said there at the end was that, well, I mean, you know, we've done everything we can, so we can not feel bad about having no restraint with our violence.
Yep.
But that's been their point all along.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, this isn't new.
This is what they were saying in 2013, too.
Like, they've always been right on the cusp of doing some violence.
And I don't know if that makes me think that it's less likely that these people will do anything or more likely because eventually the damn's got to break.
Right.
I mean, you know, it's not like people who are listening to this didn't end up going out and doing things or quote-unquote lone wolf actors.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I don't know what I think, but I know that this sort of thing is not healthy.
jordan holmes
I mean, the thing that I'm getting so much, because it ties back into so many of these guys have that like, well, if we're going to do it, we better do it while Trump's in office.
dan friesen
He's said that before.
jordan holmes
That's what I'm saying.
Like that idea is that there's not going to be a civil war.
If there's going to be a civil anything, it's going to be a civil fucking slaughter.
And the difference is going to be if Trump is in the White House and we start that slaughter, then maybe Trump will let us get away with it and give us our fucking cover for it.
Or if Trump's not in office, then we're going to be an insurgency and we're the ones who are going to get fucked up.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So that's why there'll be good people on both sides if Trump's in office.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So at the end of that last clip, Stewart was saying fucked up things about like, hey, you know, we're free to commit violence.
We've done everything we can.
And Alex brings up, they're going to pull false flags to make our violence look bad or something.
jordan holmes
Meaning we're going to do that.
dan friesen
Right.
And when he gets back from break, Alex says something that I find deeply disturbing.
alex jones
Well, obviously a conservative would never go on a Walmart and shoot innocent white, black, Hispanic people.
Nobody would go in a nightclub and do it.
That's all anti-fa-devil worshipers.
That's like Adam Landsa.
They're always pro-Zakhead devil worshiper, you know, types.
Patriots, and I'm not saying do this, would go after globalists and people.
So just notice when the terror attacks come, they already have.
They're going to be innocent people, and it's not us.
This is being staged.
Yes.
dan friesen
What Alex is doing here is trying to pull off some kind of bizarre no-true Scotsman fallacy to argue that any instance of violence not perpetrated against globalists can't possibly be patriots and conservatives and therefore must be anti-fascists false flagging the patriots.
The way this basic fallacy works is to serve as a protection of a group's purity.
Alex would find a story about, let's say, a right-wing individual killing a bunch of innocent civilians.
And his response would be, no true conservative would do something like that.
So he would conclude that this person wasn't really a conservative.
That's the basic version, where the function is to maintain the image of what a conservative is in his mind, despite evidence that the group includes people who fall short of the definition.
People do this sort of thing all the time.
And on some level, it's part of human instinct to protect our own identities as being part of a group.
It's hard to reconcile that you might be a member of a group that also includes people who you find morally repulsive.
But that's sometimes the case.
This line of fallacious thinking is how a lot of people ignore that internal conflict.
But what Alex is doing is taking the bad thinking that he's engaging in one step further than that.
He's determined that because no true conservative or patriot would kill civilians, then this someone who does isn't a conservative.
That's already a complete disaster from a logic perspective.
But then he insists that because this person is not a conservative, they must be an anti-fascist pretending to be a conservative to demonize the patriots.
It's really hard for me to put this any other way than to say that this is not adult mental processing.
This is bad.
This is really, really bad thinking.
jordan holmes
Do you know what the other part of that is?
Okay.
So prove, so I've proven to you that it was a conservative.
You have to agree with it.
Well, do you know who he killed?
A globalist, so it doesn't matter.
dan friesen
Well, now here's the issue.
So the much simpler reality is that there are absolutely conservatives and right-wingers who plan and carry out attacks on civilians.
These are real events with real victims and real loved ones whose pain Alex doesn't give a fuck about because it threatens the purity of his own self-image.
In his desperation to glorify his political side, he behaves in callous ways that belie the fact that his side is nowhere near as pure as he likes to pretend.
But since he's saying that any real conservative would target globalists, then I guess he's taking ownership of Caesar Sayok, the MAGA bomber who sent bombs to the Clintons and George Soros, among other globalist targets.
If he's saying that attacks against civilians are just anti-fascists false flagging the patriots and any real conservative patriot would target the globalists, then surely that one was real.
Whoops.
Nope.
Turns out Alex said that was a false flag too.
jordan holmes
Gotcha.
dan friesen
Alex's worldview and narratives are childish constructions he's propped up in order to make sure that he never has to feel the impact of the rhetoric that he puts into the world.
And he's too much of a coward to even stay internally consistent and play by the rules that he's made up for himself.
If it's somebody who doesn't fit his definition of what a patriot would do, it's an anti-fascist false flagging the patriots.
And if it's somebody who does, then hey, it's the globalists false flagging themselves in order to get pity.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
Fuck you, man.
jordan holmes
Your heroes are terrorists, Alex.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Just admit it.
unidentified
Yeah.

So in order to reinforce his idea that these shootings are just anti-fascists who are coming out there and false flagging, he brings up the Dayton shooting.
And I find his take on it's really boring.
And we've heard it.
Like, they tried to cover up online.
But Stewart, his reaction to this, I think, is telling.
alex jones
It's incredible how they covered up the Texas attack that he was anti-fo-leftist.
And that was confirmed.
Do they put up on his site?
That should be a criminal investigation.
Who took that down?
Who put that up?
Who protected him?
stewart rhodes
Good question.
Don't know.
dan friesen
That, I'm sorry, I said Dayton.
I meant the El Paso shoot.
But that response I find to be really interesting.
Even the court doesn't want this shit.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
He doesn't want to be involved in this.
He's just there to talk about gun paranoia.
jordan holmes
He doesn't want to get that and saying that it's okay for them to wantonly murder their political enemies.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
But he does both.
dan friesen
I think he has a line, though.
And as we saw in 2013, when Alex was trying to say that those people in the pictures that he found on 4chan at the Boston Marathon were secretly SEALs, Stuart said, I don't, I can't say that based on just whatever they're wearing.
I'm not going to go along with this.
I feel a very similar thing here.
He has a line of like, nah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And whatever you're doing, I just can't.
Alex wants him to get involved because he's not doing it.
So that's about the end of anything with real substance on this episode.
But I have a couple last clips.
And one of them is Alex gets a caller who asks him about something very specific.
And I think that this clip is only important as a demonstration of how full of shit Alex is.
unidentified
Have you ever heard of Carl Miller?
He was a Vietnam vet.
He teaches about the Constitution.
alex jones
Yes.
unidentified
He has some videos.
Anyway, one of them is about the writ of Cuo Warianto.
Anybody that any judge that tries to violate any right that you have, the Second Amendment, any of them, anybody can file a writ of Cuo Warianto against that judge and anybody connected with him that's trying to do that.
alex jones
Have you heard of this thing?
dan friesen
So look.
jordan holmes
Well, there we go, guys.
dan friesen
This is sovereign citizen bullshit.
I looked this up.
Who cares?
But what's interesting is this guy asks, have you heard of this Carl Miller guy?
He talks about the Constitution.
Yes, absolutely.
Then he says a couple more details.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
That's Alex's knee-jerk reaction.
Anytime anybody asks him, Do you know about this thing?
You bet I do.
I'm an expert on everything.
jordan holmes
I know everything.
dan friesen
That's a really good demonstration of him just lying directly and then realizing, like, oh, no, this is crazy shit.
I have no idea what it is.
And then this last one, Alex, he ends up playing a special report about how everybody is, they're all devils.
Everybody's devil worshipers.
unidentified
Sure, sure.
dan friesen
All of his enemies are all demons.
jordan holmes
Nah, we're in fighting wars in space, too.
dan friesen
And I just love the way it starts.
And so just to end this on a softer, lighter note than maybe Stuart Rhodes justifying political violence or one of Alex's callers calling for political assassinations.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Or Alex deciding Steve Pieczenik is totally cool.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's the worst of the three.
dan friesen
Here's just something straight up dumb.
alex jones
There is a saying: no one knows who first coined it.
It's been around for thousands of years.
But it goes like this: the devil's greatest trick was convincing the world he doesn't exist.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
All right.
Are you fucking with me?
unidentified
Nope.
jordan holmes
Is he fucking with me?
Maybe.
He's fucking with me.
dan friesen
He's my beatrolling.
jordan holmes
He has to be fucking with me.
dan friesen
I'm going to guarantee that Alex didn't look into this in any way, and he's just being a blowhard.
I also guarantee that he's just quoting the usual suspects and has no idea what that movie is referencing.
Generally, people attribute this precise formulation of the expression to Charles Baudelaire.
The line traces back to a short story he published in 1864.
But the vague idea expressed in the quote goes back a little farther than that.
In 1836, a Quaker preacher named John Wilkinson wrote, Quote, one of the artifices of Satan is to induce men to believe he doesn't exist.
Alex is definitely referencing the usual suspects, which was referencing Baudelaire.
But from there, the line is kind of broken.
Baudelaire was probably not referencing relatively obscure Quaker authors and was probably just writing with a creative poetic flourish of his own.
Whatever the case is here, that expression does not go back thousands of years.
That's completely fucking absurd.
So congrats.
jordan holmes
Alex is just unreal.
dan friesen
There's a saying: no one knows who coined it.
It goes back.
jordan holmes
He has to be fucking with me.
Yeah.
That's the best and only joke he has ever successfully told.
dan friesen
I think that there's to be a joke.
There's a thin line between fucking with you and being a blowhard, though.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And that line is something I'm not sure we'll ever be able to really clearly define.
jordan holmes
God, if that is the most perfectly executed joke.
Whoever wrote that, maybe he didn't write it.
Maybe somebody is fucking with him.
dan friesen
It could be.
jordan holmes
Oh, man, because that's so good.
dan friesen
So we get to the end of this, and I think I had to do this episode because there was some Steve Pieczenik nonsense in it.
jordan holmes
There's a possibility.
dan friesen
And there's also some scary shit, some really dumb stuff.
And hopefully, if I can do anything to bring to light the fact that Alex is repurposing stuff that got Roger Stone sued, I'm very happy to do that because I hope there's some consequences.
Or at least to demonstrate that a lot of this whole new narrative about Fiona Hill and this whistleblower relies on.
jordan holmes
As well as committing defamation against George Soros in a very clear manner, that also goes in there.
dan friesen
Yeah.
But yeah, this whole new narrative relies on this same information that did get Roger sued.
I think that's a really interesting piece of this puzzle that I don't know if anybody but us realizes.
So fun to be able to talk about that.
jordan holmes
I know Alex doesn't realize it.
dan friesen
I missed doing a Wacky Wednesday thing, though.
I had some ideas.
Well, maybe we'll get it next week.
jordan holmes
We got Johnny Depp for Transcendent.
This is basically a Wacky Wednesday.
dan friesen
Alex does space war.
Yeah, I guess it is.
jordan holmes
He might as well have just talked about the Mandalorian for six hours.
dan friesen
Alex has graduated to Wacky Wednesday standards.
jordan holmes
He really has, hasn't he?
dan friesen
Yeah, he might as well have talked about the Mandalorian, but strangely, he has not talked about Steve Miller's emails.
jordan holmes
Yeah, well, hey now.
Hey now.
dan friesen
So we'll be back on Friday with a new episode.
But until then, we have a website.
jordan holmes
We do have a website.
It's knowledgefight.com.
dan friesen
Yes, we have Twitters.
jordan holmes
We have Twitters at knowledge underscore fight and at GoToBadJordan.
dan friesen
We're also on Facebook.
jordan holmes
We are on Facebook and we are also, you can download the podcast at iTunes and other stuff, leave a review, etc.
Other podcast apps.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Or just listen to other podcasts and then tell them to listen to ours.
I don't know.
dan friesen
Yeah.
We'll be back for another episode next time.
But until then, I'm Neo.
