Today, Dan and Jordan take a look at the Alex Jones Show on the days just after Donald Trump got impeached. Alex responds just about how one might expect, with a display of complete nonsense, courting violence, and disgusting bigotry.
Dan and George Knowledge Fight *Fighting Music* Need money *Fighting Music* Andy in Kansas Andy in Kansas Stop it Andy in Kansas Andy in Kansas Andy in Kansas It's time to pray Andy in Kansas You're on the air
But one of the other reasons I didn't think it was worthwhile to rush out some episode is I think pretty much everybody knows what his take on it is going to be.
If you're listening out there and you're thinking, hey, I enjoyed the show, I'd like to support what these gents do, you can do that by going to our website, knowledgefight.com, clicking the button that says support the show, we would appreciate it.
Now, I've been on the air 25 years, and as the years go on, I've said many times, this is one of the most important broadcasts we've ever done.
I used to say it once a year, then I might say it every six months, because there's a quickening.
Things are getting more serious, more crazy.
The human-animal cloning, the open devil worship, the open pedophilia, the open oral government, the open destruction of the family, the open 5G, the fluoridation, the spiked vaccines, the Trojan horse takedown of humanity.
Yeah, so Alex has a theory about what's going to happen, and it's going to play out over the course of this episode, but I will say that it's kind of convoluted and poorly delivered.
The president, within the show trial that the House has already had projected into the Senate, using that as a platform in the media as a show trial to spring a bunch of other scandals, which they're starting to announce.
And then the Supreme Court is meant, and all the blackmail they've got on some of those members, like the Chief Justice.
To move in and say the Senate has not been impartial and have the Supreme Court make a run at the President in a true judicial coup.
So it was reported in the New York Daily News on the 18th that footage from Jeffrey Epstein's initial suicide attempt that Alex doesn't believe is real had gone missing.
That story was based on comments by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Swergold, who said that, quote, it is our understanding that the video no longer exists.
It was not preserved.
In the initial article on the 18th, it was reported that the government was asked to, quote, look further into what happened to the footage.
And they did, because on December 19th, the New York Daily News posted an article with the headline, quote, missing surveillance footage of Jeffrey Epstein's suicide attempt has been found.
That new article included this quote.
Quote, "Earlier today, the government confirmed with MCC staff that the video was preserved by MCC staff upon defense counsel's request." Who was that quote from?
You guessed it, U.S. Assistant Attorney Jason Swergold.
Naturally, the most simple explanation for this whole situation is irresponsible reporting based on irresponsible comments from an assistant U.S. attorney.
He spoke kind of out of turn, made comments that were taken as gospel, then learned pretty quickly that he was incorrect in that assumption.
The New York Daily News turns around and posts a story that the missing footage had been found, but that's even kind of bullshit, because based on these stories, I'm not certain that footage was ever missing in the first place.
It all doesn't matter, because now the fact that a day later they retracted the footage that the footage was missing will be used as proof that the footage actually is missing, and the globalists shook down Swergold so he would lie to the New York Daily News or something.
Do they not know that reporting that the footage has gone missing is going to be far more popular than the second day when they report that it's been found?
How I'd give my life right now if it meant we could beat these people, for sure.
Because the innocents deserve it.
It's a good price to pay.
By the way, I'm not suicidal.
I want to live to be 150 and love God.
My point is I'm willing to give my life to beat these people because that's what it's all about.
And your life is just your earth suit in this experience.
But I'm done talking about that.
This is the most important broadcast I've ever done.
And you can have a thought with thousands of major points, hundreds of thousands of sub-points and data and knowledge and background and understanding that all come together with certainty.
And when you have that certainty, And you see it time and time again come true exactly as you envisioned.
But 99% of it is actually the incredible electrochemical brain supercomputer integrating all those data points, but that little 1% of spirit The electrochemical internet takes you across to the threshold.
So what I'm going to do, this is so big, is I'm just going to stop for this segment, kind of mention some of the other news.
And then when I come back in the next segment, I'm going to come in with precision.
I just imagine going back and seeing Jesus giving the Sermon on the Mount, but he's like, okay, first hour, we're just going to do a couple little things.
I'm going to riff for a while.
The big stuff.
I'm going to get you some big stuff after this next hour, but for now, I really got to just riff this out.
GOP congressman compares Trump's impeachment to Pearl Harbor.
The United States could take getting 3,000 people killed and a bunch of battleships sunk and it was terrible and it was horrible and quite frankly Churchill was working with Roosevelt and they had the purple and blue code completely and knew even the day of the attack and ordered the carriers out to sea.
obsolete battleships, no good for Pacific warfare, would be destroyed.
There have not been declassified documents proving that there was a stand-down or even that the U.S. had specific prior knowledge of the Japanese attack.
Alex is even playing fast and loose with decryption because he's not specifying which Japanese codes we cracked up until that point.
He's saying the purple code.
Yeah, that's largely true.
Those are some of the codes that we had cracked.
But that doesn't mean that we had the ability to decipher...
Ten separate inquiries have been done to examine this claim of foreknowledge, and none support the theory that Alex is putting forth.
The only real evidence I can find of truth behind the code-breaking stuff is that there was a coded message that we translated, which was intercepted the day before the attack.
The message indicated that Japan intended to break off negotiations and formal relations with the United States the next day.
That was interpreted by most as being indicative that the Japanese did intend to attack something, but the military at the time had been expecting them to invade Thailand or somewhere else in the Pacific that would effectively break off negotiations by itself.
So that was the kind of the interpretation the message had at the time.
It wasn't that they were going to bomb Pearl Harbor, because it's a gigantic leap to make.
But it's a sort of gigantic logical leap Alex is pretty accustomed to making.
So most of what Alex is saying is 100% based on a book or pamphlet put out in 1944 called The Truth About Pearl Harbor.
It was written by a guy named John T. Flynn.
Flynn was an extreme right-wing figure in the 40s and was instrumental in the organizing of the America First Commission.
You may remember them as a group who were deeply anti-Semitic and pro-fascist, but pretended that they were just anti-interventionists.
Flynn was a bit of a propagandist for the America First Commission, being involved in creating advertisements meant to sway public opinion away from getting involved in the European War.
The AFC dissolved right after Pearl Harbor since the U.S. had joined the war, which made the whole don't join the war argument a little harder.
Even though they'd been unsuccessful in keeping the U.S. out of the war, the members of the AFC didn't just give up, and one of the prongs of their further work was to create the narrative that the only reason the U.S. got into the war in the first place was because of a conspiracy.
If it hadn't been for the meddling communists and evil forces within our own government, that attack on Pearl Harbor wouldn't have happened, and we wouldn't have gotten into the war, so when you think about it, the Axis powers are really the victims in this whole thing.
The other angle here is that the folks on the extreme right, like John Flynn, hated FDR because of his social programs and a myriad of other reasons.
And Roosevelt was running for re-election in 1944.
So this book was released as a large-scale attempt to smear him and derail his campaign with accusations that he knew in advance that this attack was coming, but he let it happen so he could go to war.
Alex is just repeating shit some dumb fascist wrote about 80 years ago to try and stop FDR's re-election, and he's pretending it's declassified and totally real.
I just think that's kind of interesting, and I think it is one of these really interesting things that you find that is, like, when you trace back a lot of sort of dumb conspiracy theories, what you end up finding is people who were using these for political reasons initially, they may or may not have served their political purpose at the time, and then...
Alex undoubtedly saw this in a meme and just accepted it as true.
But in reality, this quote comes from a book called A Pillar of Iron, written by Taylor Caldwell in 1965.
Caldwell is basing the book on a lot of real sources about Cicero, but the quotes that are passed around about traitors being the carriers of the plague were all Caldwell's creation.
Historically, the far right has used this quote to push back against greater social equality, which is not surprising.
Nor is it surprising that Alex once again has no idea what he's talking about when he's quoting things that he's using just to make himself sound smart.
And you can hear that, too, even like 2067 years ago, if my memory serves.
But I just don't want to be like I've been for 25 years, laying out very important things constantly, gibbering as fast as I can talk, trying to get out all the little factoids, and then miss the forest for the trees.
There's no vacancy in the Supreme Court, and even if Ruth Bader Ginsburg were to die, the Republicans already set the precedent that an opposition party can refuse to hold hearings on Supreme Court nominees in election years.
Now, this process, like the very difficult and consequence-laden process of impeachment, is not necessary to achieve the goal of blocking a Supreme Court nominee.
Because if you're willing to believe that they would fake an entire impeachment in order to reach that goal, you'd probably think they'd have no problem just saying, hey, you remember the rules you guys set four years ago?
Well, we're playing by them now.
No nominations until the election.
I understand what you're saying, but in the world where you believe that this is what they're doing, you would have to believe that they did it.
Now, I have been saying, since before this started, three months ago, That they will impeach him in the House.
And then when it gets to the Senate, they're going to pull out the stops of blackmail, arm-twisting threats against the senators.
And I also said the Supreme Court could then be brought into play to claim that people weren't impartial.
And that would just create enough of a cloud, like the Democrats did with the election three years ago.
To create the real civil unrest going into the election year.
To tear the nation apart, which is what the globalists and the CHICOMs want, to undermine the nation.
That's been their plan all along.
And so, they are going for broke.
They are trying to cause a civil emergency.
That's why they're going after the guns in places like Virginia.
That's why they're saying, hell yes, we're coming for your AR-15s.
Because if they can't beat us politically, they are going to try to trigger an event along racial and along political lines that will tear the country into pieces.
Now, it is a big gamble.
And it's making the president, if he survives it, even stronger.
But.
unidentified
They can't help it and have to do it because they're being so politically destroyed by the Jeffrey Epstein information coming out and all the other corruption coming out.
That clip is really an Alex Jones clip, if there ever was one.
It has a ton of scary ideas, disconnected notions that are being brought together for no reason, and most importantly, references to obscure things that are in no way relevant.
Alex has failed to prove in any way that any senator is being threatened, and until he does, I'm going to assume he's just making that up.
The Supreme Court may actually need to get involved at some point.
If you have one party that refuses to take things seriously, but know they're in the majority, so they'll be fine if they just do nothing, they'll get their way, what else can you do?
I'm not sure that's the right thing to do, and I don't even know how that would play out, and I don't know if that's the direction things will go, but looking at things...
I wouldn't be too surprised if there was some sort of a legal challenge somewhere.
But, even so, even if the Supreme Court does get involved, I have literally zero belief that they would do so in a way that would trigger the outbreak of civil unrest or a civil war.
The Supreme Court literally decided the 2000 election, and though there were consequences of that, which we still have not fully atoned for, it did not lead to Democrats in the street rioting.
You could make an argument that the right wing is much more insane right now than the Democrats were in 2000, and you would be correct.
But I still think this kind of idea that Alex is selling is a bit of a stretch.
Plus, it's a conservative court.
I would assume they would err on the side of following a strict process, which favors the GOP, which is part of the reason I suspect they won't even get involved in the first place.
He, like, Beto's not in any office, nor does he seem to be a major force in the larger left-wing conversation.
It's not like he dropped out, but he's guiding the conversation that people are having.
As for Virginia, like, the Democrats won control of the state legislature in most of the recent election.
This is what he's talking about when he's talking about the guns.
So when the Democrats won the control of the state legislature, in effect, the state turned very blue.
There's been some talk of universal background checks possibly being discussed, but their legislative session hasn't even started yet.
But that hasn't stopped some gun weirdo community members from overreacting to Democrats being in office by stirring up egregious levels of paranoia.
According to The Hill, over 50 counties in Virginia passed resolutions declaring themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries, which is not in any way legally binding, and it's just a symbolic act, or, as Paul Joseph Watson might call it, virtue signaling.
Nothing happened except Democrats winning elections, and immediately the effort to frame any kind of gun debate as encroachment of essential rights began with these counties passing meaningless resolutions.
Representative A. Donald McAkin commented that the governor may have to bring in the National Guard if law enforcement agencies in these counties are refusing to enforce laws.
But he wasn't saying the governor should do that.
It was just a comment about how that is a possible outcome if there are law enforcement agencies that are, in essence, going rogue.
He said, quote, that's his call because I don't know how serious these counties are and how severe the violations of law will be, but that's obviously an option he has.
And according to the Constitution, that is an option the governor has.
It is unfortunate that Obama didn't do any of the things that they said he was going to, because now they're just always going to assume that any Democrat...
Like, the Fox News and everybody spent eight years saying that Obama was a dictator who was going to come and take your guns.
And then when he didn't, they didn't just deflate.
And think that, oh, well, now that we have different Democrats, they're going to not take our guns.
Now it's just on red alert, 100%, all the time, any Democrat is going to take your guns.
That's it.
All day, every day.
They can't walk back from the fact that we elected a centrist black president and it drove them all insane.
So, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was being interviewed while she was being awarded the Berggruen Prize for Philosophy and Culture.
In the interview it came up that Trump was being impeached and that some GOP senators had literally said that they weren't going to be impartial.
She was asked, quote, so if a senator says, I've already made up my mind and the trial doesn't exist at the moment, there's no accountability, is there?
And her response was, quote, if a judge said that, a judge would be disqualified from the case.
The day a judge stops being impartial and starts to do things to please the home crowd, that's the day the judge should step down from office.
The implication is that a trial should be presided over by impartial judges, and that the impeachment trial in the Senate involves the senators being essentially judges in the case.
So you could read that as her saying that senators who indicate that they've made up their mind pre-trial should be disqualified.
But the important thing to remember is that she didn't say that.
She implied that.
And she did so by pointing to an example of a similar situation that we all agree with.
If a judge in a different context was going around being all like, no matter what, I'm going to acquit this guy, you would easily recognize that as a problem.
But the claim Alex is making that RBG said that senators could be disqualified from the impeachment if they aren't impartial, that's a problem.
That claim is a problem.
Because it's not true.
It's not even the case that that's what she was implying.
What the right wing thinks shouldn't be in the Constitution isn't, and how much they think should be in the Constitution is.
Right.
Because in the Constitution, there's nothing that says you have to be an impartial juror if you're in a Senate impeachment trial, which arguably, maybe there should have been.
But when they were writing it, they just assumed that nobody would act like this.
Also, Alex's idea here is really funny because Trump tweeted, quote, Radical left has no case.
Read the transcripts.
Shouldn't even be allowed.
Can we go to the Supreme Court to stop?
So Alex's nightmare scenario where the Supreme Court gets involved is literally what Trump is asking to happen.
I expected Alex to be all out of sorts about the reality of this impeachment setting in, but I really didn't think he'd be this low energy and disoriented.
His narrative makes no sense.
He's selling it poorly.
I think he's just beginning to realize that no matter what, his name is attached to this for history and posterity.
And so they're now having Pelosi say that she's going to withhold sending the articles up, certifying them so they can just have that out there that, oh look,
Trump I don't know what accusations Alex thinks are coming that is somehow going to catch fire and actually hurt Trump with his base,
I mean, we've all seen people accuse Trump of sexual assault, being a racist, and being corrupt in his business dealings, and none of his supporters have seemed to care up until this point, so I don't understand what Alex is preparing for.
And we're going to go through how they then intend to remove the president and their real plan, which they're now executing, and that only exposure of it can stop them.
But you'd have to figure out how to shed yourself of, as you described it, all of these necklaces, these rock necklaces that he's designed for himself that are weighing him down.
I would turn it into like the movie Airheads where it's like we're going under a station restructuring so I want to keep doing the info war but instead I'm just going to sing over the highway men now.
They create enough blackmail, enough hysteria, enough problems, enough pressure on these senators, enough division with all the other stories they're going to bring up while they're holding.
The article's from the Senate.
Another lawfare tactic.
And then the senators start buckling and they vote to remove him.
They say for the better of the country, this has just gone on too long.
There's too many bad things that have come out.
And now this latest thing, even though it's not in the trial, I just have to go against the president.
That's what they really want, what they're hoping for.
You need to provide some reason for your listeners not to completely turn on the GOP and the off chance that some senators do end up voting to convict.
Alex remembers the Ron Paul days and how impossible it would be for him to ever be anywhere near power if he went with a third party or tried to create a party.
He knows that it's imperative to keep things under the GOP wing and try to continue to corrupt it from the inside.
The other path is too hard.
And insisting that if any GOP senators vote to convict, it's only because the globalists were hitting them with hard, with tons of blackmail.
He kind of softened the backlash against the party a little bit.
The other one is that part of the Supreme Court says it's political, it's illegitimate, the Senate's running it wrong, even though it's all been a kangaroo event so far, and that triggers civil unrest and anger.
And they are blackmailing members of Trump's cabinet and the Senate, and then they create a 25th Amendment to the United States event.
XXV to the United States Constitution says that if the president becomes unable to do their job, the vice president becomes the president.
This could happen for just a little while.
The president is just sick or disabled for a short time.
It could also happen until the end of the president's term.
And they could say that he was mentally incapacitated.
Trump just told a rally full of people that a political rival's recently dead husband might be in hell, and nothing happened, so don't worry about the 25th.
I think this is just a preemptive rationalization for the possible loss that will come in the 2020 election.
Sure, we could have won, but there was that civil unrest that destroyed the stock market, so technically we kind of did actually win since the global has caused it all.
I mean, just type in to the search engine, Infowars.com, and then Obama, documents show Obama planned martial law in Maryland 2015.
We got those in January 2018.
Confirmed 30 pages of Antifa secret documents funded by Alexander Soros, how they would go in and break things, working with the police in blue cities, the police commanders.
I bet that's how he remembers it now because he's mythologized it so much in the retelling of the story over and over and over again that it feels real to him that this guy's brother was like, oh, we've got to get these to Alex.
They demonize Putin because he just has all the Soros heads who aren't Russian bringing billions in a year to overthrow the Russian government and the people.
He just has them thrown out of the country.
And Russians that work with him get arrested.
That's not authoritarianism.
If you're a Russian in Russia, you can protest all you want.
I've studied it.
But if you're funded by Soros and you're trying to teach five-year-olds how to suck cock, you get your ass arrested.
Excuse my French, but that's what's going on, folks.
Right, I mean, if Alex is tying the entirety of anti-fascism to Soros through these fake documents, you've got to imagine that anybody would be able to falsely connect any protest to Soros, if that's the game Alex wants to play.
If I was running around trying to get people to go kill people or burn things, I'd get arrested for a conspiracy to commit mayhem and crime and disorder.
And I'd spend life in prison, and I should.
I'd never do that.
These people are committing crimes, breaking our borders, funding the refugee centers, assaulting us.
And so enough talk.
I want the president to do his job.
And I want him to put them on notice that he knows they're trying to create a civil war and all the rest of it.
And if they don't hold the process correctly in the Senate and the rest of it, the executive branch and the American people are going to have to step in and it means war.
One of the ways this is super advantageous is because you would never want a tie in the Senate vote, since the vice president is also the president of the Senate and gets to cast votes in tie-breaking situations.
Part of the reason that you'd never want that to come up is because the vice president becomes president if the president's removed, so you really...
We really don't want to have to deal with the optics of casting a tie-breaking vote that makes you the president.
But it doesn't matter.
Because in tie-breaking situations, in impeachment trials in the Senate, they're presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
The tie-breaking vote would go to the Chief Justice.
The circumstances are possible, except not with the conviction vote.
There are votes about rule changes that happen throughout the trial, and in those situations, all you need is a simple majority, and in those cases, the Chief Justice presiding over the trial would be the tie-breaking vote.
Either way, the Vice President doesn't come into play in this at all.
The fact that he thinks that the vice president would cast a tie-breaking vote, or if there's still a tie, the Supreme Court gets involved, he realizes in the middle that it's a two-thirds situation.
It was whoever got the first and second most votes.
So in that situation...
If the vice president is the guy who got the second most votes and was like, hey, somehow this one vote I'm going to test makes me president, this is non-partisan, guys.
And I think you know this better than I. This is real.
The globalists want civil unrest.
They want a war.
They're probably looking to bomb federal buildings and blame it on talk radio like they did in 95, which they saw as the voice of the people.
It'll be the internet this time.
And so if there's going to be mass shootings or bombings or other false flags to create racial and cultural division, we're entering the zone right now.
Everybody's got to be alert.
It's got to be watchful.
Including law enforcement, because this country's fighting for its life.
Let's hypothetically say that at some point in the next six months to a year, the Democrats get their way through illegal means, and this thing happens to go kinetic, which obviously none of us want to happen.
unidentified
Through to, like, Matt Brackett and some of these other guys.
For people like me, if this thing goes hot, who do we point our guns at, you know?
I mean, I have neighbors that are Democrats that are good people.
I know some pretty crazy liberals that, you know, do some pretty crazy things.
But, you know, we've got a cabal of representatives and people that call themselves Democrats that aren't.
I mean, the average individual is not in a position to react to this.
Well, I'm not saying I don't want offensive violence.
And if the globalists get rid of Trump, they're going to plunge the economy and try to hold people hostage to legislatively accept open borders and globalism and political correctness.
As a price to turn the economy back on like they did when Obama got in.
They turned the economy off to bring Obama in.
They turned the economy partially back on once he got in.
So obviously the police aren't it.
The average stupid libtard isn't it.
You remember when they sent the guy to try to kill the Republican baseball team, the Republican caucus, to kill Rand Paul and Scalise and others.
They tried.
That guy knew what he was doing.
He didn't know how to fire the gun right, but he went and found the leadership.
I think the answer in his heart is it's bad for business if you start shooting people, but it's good for business if I tell you to shoot people and you don't.
Instead, Alex keeps talking to him, and the caller reframes the question to ask, where's the line?
unidentified
I guess what I'm really getting at is, you know, there are other forces, you know, military of sorts, that, you know, as individual citizens, we expect to step up and do the right thing at some point.
I guess the real question I'm asking is, you know, where is the legal line that gets crossed?
I think this guy is expressing, I think, a common confusion.
Especially, like, a very American confusion about when to do revolution.
Because if you go back and look at the original Revolutionary War, all of the conditions that caused that are probably, you could consider, far less extreme in regards to...
So that confusion of both lionizing and celebrating the Revolutionary War as the best thing we could have done ever with continued nonviolence, hopefully, is really difficult for a lot of these, especially these gun weirdo guys.
There should have been indictments a long time ago, and because there weren't indictments, he created a vacuum for these people to run wild.
And that's where we are right now.
unidentified
So perhaps calling...
Instead of calling your senators and representatives, perhaps calling the State Department and demand that, you know, these criminals are acted against is a better way to go.
Well, I would find out who all the Soros people are, like the State Department, and then I'd go to these little CFR events they have in public and get in their face legally and lawfully.
They need that pressure put on them to tell them to back off trying to cause a civil war because they're going to be held responsible.
Soros and his little demon son and all these globalists and Ford Foundation people and all these professors and academics, all these anti-free speech.
So yeah, but look, the issue here is that the caller has already asked at the beginning of this, when it goes kinetic, who am I aiming my gun at?
At the end of this, as Alex is going out to break, not only is he saying Soros and Soros' son, everybody involved in the CFR, liberal professors, anti-American turds, these are the enemies when it goes Connecticut.
You can't read that any other way than to say, first of all, the line has already been crossed, and these are the people who are the enemies, who you have already asked me, who should I point my gun at?
It makes A then B, B then C, A then C. It just makes a kind of logical sense that he's telling this guy a list of people who are the enemies he should be pointing his gun at when it goes Connecticut.
Like, what's happening is I hear this discordant cognitive dissonance where it's like he's saying what he knows he should be saying whenever the question is direct.
Like, who should I be trying to murder?
And he's like, you should not be murdering people.
Make me a promotional video.
But then whenever it's rephrased, he can't understand that the questions are connected.
Yeah, there's no way that you can understand words the way they're meant to be understood and not think that he is giving people an idea of who they should murder.
I didn't play the clip of Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch on Fox News saying Merry Christmas and mainline headlines like, hate crime committed, threw down the gauntlet, rubbed it in our faces.
Well now, college official, don't buy Christmas presents to fight climate change.
This is about someone who works for William& Mary named Calandra Waters Lake, who apparently said, quote, step back and remember that the reason for the gift is to show someone you care.
So, is buying a gift the best way to do that?
Going out and doing something with the recipient to spend time with them may be a better option.
Now, if some Christian pundit were to say the exact same thing, making the point that Christmas has become too commercialized and that Jesus is the reason for the season, Alex would 100% be in favor of that anti-materialist message.
He would be so on board, but because this person was giving the same advice in the interest of minding your carbon footprint, all of a sudden it's devil speak.
This shit's so dumb that even the article on Infowars had to call itself out.
Quote, ironically, however, some of her other tips are actually quite useful in terms of combating materialism and consumerism, even if that wasn't exactly the intent.
You can't have the, when do we start shooting in the Civil War on the same episode as, when do we start shooting in the War on Christmas?
These people are cartoons.
That's cartoonish.
To consider that the war on Christmas, which has been going on since the fucking late 80s now, combined with the Civil War, you're like, well, both of these are equal airtime situations.
So also with Neil Gorsuch, people were more mad about him shilling a book on Fox and Friends and not other outlets while he's a Supreme Court justice.
...
...
And the anchor said, "Oh, I love how you say that." And they were making fun of that because Fox News have made the "We aren't allowed to say Merry Christmas" thing into a pretty big talking point in the last few years.
So it kind of makes it look like a wink that he's...
You know, I was just having flashbacks to three years and three months ago.
Three years and two months ago.
January 2017, and they had a big steel fence around the whole mall, and it opened up at 8 a.m., and I didn't check where the VIP entrance was to my ticket.
I just said, I'll just, I want to walk up the mall.
I want to go in at one of the main entrances.
There were like 10 of them.
So I started to get at the bottom.
It was all blocked by Antifa, beating people up in front of police, including families with children and people bleeding.
We have video of it.
And so I got pissed, and with my security guys, we ran over a mob of them, and the police ran over and threatened to arrest us.
And I sort of just screamed at them.
I said, I know you're on order to stand down, but shame on you.
You let these damn families through here.
And that heard me go through a few more entrances, and then finally went to the very top one, and there was all the, Antifa wasn't there.
Because they had agreements with the police where they could be, where the federal police were, and where it was the entrance for all the congresspeople and everybody.
Oh, Antifa wasn't there.
Just like in the documents we got.
Two years ago, from George Soros' operation, how they go to certain cities, they have agreements with police that they're allowed to commit the crimes in certain areas.
It's all staged.
And I just got so angry.
Because it took me hours to get in until I went, well, let's go try the top entrance.
Then it was all Border Patrol running it, and ICE, and they were all nice, and there was no lines, and you just walk through.
But the American people were being fed on by the D.C. police in league with the Antifa.
I wanted to play all of it, because it's one of the more absurd things.
Because he's talking about his comedy credits, and how like, yeah man, these places that I was in, this small town, they wouldn't let me perform, and I'm like, I'm too big for your town, so I went to LA.
And I see the crew putting up articles from Flashback January 2019.
11 months ago.
We're not going to show those articles here anymore.
I'm going to go to rebroadcast for a while.
It's no big deal.
Because I need to get prepared for this, and I'm going to go to a terminal, and I'm going to pull the clips from 2017, the clips from 2018, where myself and Roger Stone specifically laid out here on air exactly how they would trigger all of this.
They're like, I'm going to start the show, and then within a minute, within two minutes of being on air, being like, I'm going to rebroadcast because I've got to actually do prep.
So Alex is waiting for those clips, for his interns to find them, because he doesn't actually go off air to do that work that he failed to do before the show.
But, you know, just riffing around and decides to get real fucking xenophobic.
And then having U.N. reports out saying, we're going to replace Europe with Muslims and the U.S. We want $600 million brought in in the next 30 years, the U.S. Official U.N. policy, 2001, voted into policy.
I have the printouts from the U.N. right here.
And the ADL says, they're lying in the upcoming U.K. election.
This is a month ago.
And they're saying that there's a thing called replacement migration to get rid of Europeans with Muslims.
They specifically say Middle Eastern Muslims and North African Muslims because they're more compatible with each other.
Oh, they don't want any Christian Africans.
They don't want any animist, which is just nature worship, Gaia stuff.
Because the Muslims kill them.
They go, we're going to have Muslims.
They're the ones that are compatible.
Because there was an Austrian-Hungarian prince who had a whole plan 100 years ago.
He's the guy that invented the modern Olympics to bring in Muslims.
Napoleon converted to Islam and had a plan to bring the Muslims into Europe.
You're like, why would he do that too?
Because there were more Muslims than there were Christians in Europe then, too.
You could take over.
They're one group that acts as one.
But Sacha Baron Cohen, like Napoleon, has already cast the dice.
Inasmuch as the UN did release a report in 2001 called, quote, The problem, as it always is with Alex, is that he doesn't understand what he didn't read.
The executive summary of the document begins by explaining that the report will lay out six possible scenarios they see as possibilities based on the current population trends in France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
These scenarios were differentiated by computing different levels of migration and how it would affect the countries, specifically in terms of population, and the report is very clear, saying, quote, These are not meant to be recommendations in any way, but illustrations of hypothetical scenarios.
Alex takes all his numbers about UN recommendations for immigrants from Scenario 6, because that's the one where the numbers were the highest.
That was their scenario of how many immigrants would be needed to keep the ratio of people aged 15 to 64, Yeah, I gotcha.
Again, the report is clear about what it is within the text, saying, quote, Readers should keep in mind that the results of Scenario 6 are for illustrative purposes only.
Given the assumption that current age structure of the population would remain unchanged in the future, the resulting large number of migrants needed should be considered totally unrealistic.
It says that in the document.
In the discussion section, it's discussed how unfeasible this scenario is.
Literally saying, quote, this scenario is clearly not realistic.
Therefore, immigration cannot prevent aging of the population.
The conclusion offered in the report is exactly the opposite of what Alex would have you believe.
Also, I would love to see how Alex explains that the number of immigrants needed in scenario six is five times higher for the Republic of Korea than it is for all of Europe.
I thought he was saying that this was all about flooding the West with migrants.
But I bet if he presented it with this sort of rebuttal, he would just say that Korea is the West.
Immigration is one part of the report, but it's really about much more.
It has to do with aspects of the question of the changing age distribution in populations.
They bring up issues about how the ratio of worker to retirees is affected by the age of retirement in countries.
The level of labor force participation can change that dynamic.
And how the problems of a higher rate of retirees to workers can be offset by increased contributions from workers into programs designed to help the elderly.
Those sorts of things can solve all sorts of problems on their own.
The report is much, much larger than what Alex presents, but that's because he doesn't care about what the UN is actually doing or studying or looking at.
He just wants you to know that they want to bring in Muslims, and it's because they want to conquer you, and the best way to do that is bringing in Muslims.
This is, on the one hand, a horrible mishandling of his source material.
It shows that he has no grasp nor any interest in the actual issues that he's covering.
The end.
then I don't know what to say about it except to say he's a profound bigot.
He's turning a minority group into a unified block, which only makes his audience fear and hate the individual's They're no longer individuals.
They're mindless parts of a unified bloc that only exists in this country because the UN is using them to conquer you.
That kind of thinking is repulsive, and I really feel like that's a pretty good demonstration of Alex's horrible white identity leanings and xenophobia.
To drive this point home, I read the UN report, and the words Muslim and Islam don't appear anywhere in the text.
Because a caller calls in and wants to bring up another pretty xenophobic narrative.
And it's about the death of Kate Steinle, which is the woman who was shot by a bullet that ricocheted, accidentally fired by an undocumented immigrant.
We've talked about that case quite a bit.
And I wouldn't actually even include this clip.
It would be background noise.
If it weren't for how Alex tells this story.
He adds so many details to this story that I've not heard him even report before and are completely made up.
unidentified
I just think that Trump had a chance a long time ago to stop this.
For one, as we discussed on previous episodes, Kate Steinle's death is a tragic event.
I am not in any way taken away from that, but it was not a murder.
A judge acquitted Jose Inez Garcia Zarate of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, and even assault with a semi-automatic firearm because it was clear that he did not mean to fire the bullet that ricocheted and then hit Steinle.
He was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, but that conviction was overturned by the Court of Appeals because the previous jury was not instructed properly about what constitutes being in possession of a gun.
Garcia Zarate found a gun that was wrapped in rags which he picked up, not knowing it was a gun.
In the process, the gun fired.
This is an example of a horrible tragedy, and I have nothing but empathy for the Steinle family and what they've had to go through.
That being said, the way the right-wing media has used this case is indicative of very extreme hostility towards immigrants.
There's no evidence that Garcia Zarate was in possession of the gun, let alone that he intended to shoot a wall, knowing that the bullet would bounce off and hit Steinle.
And yet, this has been the rallying case for xenophobic assholes like Alex and everyone at Infowars, and I think this clip is Alex letting it slip a little bit too much as to why.
The stuff about Garcia Zarate killing Steinle because she was beautiful is completely made up.
The idea that he thought that her father was her older boyfriend and that he couldn't stand the jealousy is absolutely not based on anything real, but it does rely on pretty standard white supremacist tropes about non-white men.
What Alex is doing in this clip is legitimately no different from pro-segregation propaganda about black men having uncontrollable lust for white women that they would act out violently if not kept in their place.
Without descending too far back onto this riff, Alex is pretending that he's reporting facts, but literally all of this is him talking about his feelings, and his feelings are fucking racist.
He feels like Garcia Zarate killed Steinle because she was beautiful and a white woman, and he was jealous that he couldn't be with her, but all that is is Alex's feelings.
He's making that up because he believes it fits with the internalized racist narratives that fill his head.
I can't imagine thinking, like, listening to Alex's show and imagining a scenario where...
A caller would call in and say, hey, you know what?
I think the executive needs to unilaterally put the country into a strict lockdown, much like you have pirates on a boat and you've got to clear it door to door.
How could you even possibly conceive that that would be an acceptable line of conversation on the show?
It's so far afield of what he pretends to be about or pretended to be about.
Their functional idea is always that the Constitution and the Revolutionary War is amazing, and literally they're doing stuff that the Founding Fathers were like, let's make sure this never happens.
Does he also play a clip from him, say 2015-ish, saying that the president is a dictator and a tyrant who is trying to lock people down and go door-to-door taking their guns?
Does he put those two back to back and show that he's ideologically fine?
Anyway, Alex, you know, he doesn't get the clean take he's looking for, but he does offer the exact excuse you would expect from a crypto-fascist for why you need to enact fascism.
We just had a caller, who just joined us, who laid it all out, how he did security on a ship that actually got boarded by pirates, and what the captain did in that emergency.
I don't want martial law.
I don't want civil war.
The globalists are putting us into the national emergency.
Actually, Alex might not have brought it up at all if this caller didn't bring it to the table.
But I would say this is a bad look, the way they're covering this story.
unidentified
Okay, Alex, I have some massive breaking news.
It's been coming out that Trump has had a love child with one of his closest friends and teammates, and that he was worried about that coming out, and he actually had him killed.
So Alex, he's been saying throughout this December 20th episode that the Supreme Court has ruled that Nancy Pelosi can't do what she's doing by withholding the impeachment indictment going to the Senate.
Alex's argument that Nancy Pelosi cannot hold up delivering the impeachment to the Senate is based on a flawed reading of the 1993 Supreme Court decision, Nixon versus the United States.
The quote, Quote, the framers did not intend to impose additional limitations on the form of the Senate proceedings.
Alex read it there.
It's sort of the cornerstone of the article on Infowars.
Out of context, that kind of appears to be saying that the Senate gets to decide everything.
But really, in regards to this specific complaint being heard, it doesn't really...
In this case, a judge named Walter Nixon, who'd been impeached, sued to have his salary reinstated because he believed that the Senate Rule 11 had been broken by how the Senate carried itself out in the impeachment process.
His argument was rejected, and the Supreme Court held that the framers really were only requiring that the senators be under oath.
That two-thirds vote for conviction to pass and that the chief justice presided over the case when it's the president being impeached.
That's not required in other impeachments, just in cases of presidential impeachment.
So, I mean, you just, if you fall out of step, you're a devil.
It's like a definition of Christianity is supporting Trump now, according to Alex, which is a merging of religious and political ideas, which is like, we've already had such leanings of authoritarian, dictator-y kind of feelings for Alex, and now we are merging that theocratic idea pretty hard.
You know, and got him out of office, then, you know, the next, the vice president, of course, would be, I don't know, in real den of hell, kind of hiding in the bushes, screwing around.
I love that passion because you're not lying down, you're awake, and you're not just screaming and yelling and saying racist, racist, or mindless programming points.
You're saying Eloquent focus points about what's happening and about action.
I love that you're excited about the bullshit I've gotten you down the line of.
And that caller is getting the message.
That's one of the things that you really see if you look at these callers.
Look at the callers that we've had on this show.
We have this guy who's internalized the message of Trump should be a dictator that Alex clearly puts out whether he expresses it that way or not.
You had the caller who called in about Kate Steinle who's expressing this xenophobic anti-immigrant position that Alex has very clearly fostered in his audience.
You got the guy calling in who's a Scottish comedian and Alex clearly wants people who are...
Minor viral stars that he can try and exploit.
You get that, too.
And then you've got the guy who calls in who's like, when is it time to start shooting people?
Just something is a question that Alex's audience would clearly have based on his coverage of things.
How do we ensure the peaceful transition of government throughout not just this election, but all elections to come, assuming that we continue to be a democratic nation?
But the open discussion of violence, the open discussion of when is the time to kill people, who should we be targeting, those conversations are starting to happen on his show a bit more than I recall.
So that is my big point.
It's worth noting that.
unidentified
Those guys probably work somewhere.
They have a job where other people work with them.
I just think, like, I don't know, it's really hard for me to put a button on this, but I'm trying to express that this is escalating.
The tone and what is okay to talk about on the show, whether or not that's because Alex is allowing those conversations more, or the audience is picking up on these things, but you also do notice that a lot of these things that are the worst...
Are the product of his callers bringing stuff up.
Alex is terrible on his own.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm not saying that he's off the hook.
But the parts of this episode that I think are the most fucked up are things that the callers have brought into the conversation.
Because what's going to happen, at least based on my understanding of things that have been said, like the House is going to continue other investigations, things like that.
So there's going to be stories that are coming out about that.
