#383: December 31, 2019

Today, Dan and Jordan join Alex Jones on his last broadcast of the decade. Or maybe the Illuminati Jacobins just want you to think it's the last of the decade. The year closes out with Alex attempting to pull off a very disciplined show, which goes about as well as one might expect.

Hello, Alex.
I'm a huge fan.
jordan holmes
I love your world.
unidentified
Knowledge Fight.
alex jones
KnowledgeFight.com.
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple dudes who like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Indeed we are, Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
Dan?
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
We are recording this, of course, on New Year's Eve.
dan friesen
Correct.
jordan holmes
Let me ask you a quick question.
dan friesen
Three, two.
One.
jordan holmes
Has anything good happened to you this year, Dan?
One good thing?
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Let's get some good things.
dan friesen
Yeah, I mean, a number of good things have happened.
I mean, this show has been a really good thing.
jordan holmes
Right?
This has grown?
dan friesen
Seeing the growth of the show and the wonderful things that you hear from listeners and all that sort of stuff, it's very, I don't know, moving.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's uplifting.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
unidentified
And also, playing Assassin's Creed.
dan friesen
No, I don't know.
jordan holmes
It's tough.
It's been tough.
2019 is a rough year to focus on the positives.
dan friesen
I'm trying to think back about other stuff we've touched on on the show, like the plants.
Still no fruit.
They're still alive, doing okay.
Last plant watch of the year.
They're doing fine, but no fruit.
I don't know what's going on.
jordan holmes
Do we need to close up any narrative arcs around 2019 that we haven't been in?
dan friesen
Apartments still noisy.
Plants still no fruit.
What about you?
jordan holmes
I think I finished the rough draft of a novel.
dan friesen
That's huge.
jordan holmes
That's huge.
It's the first time I finished one, and now I'm rewriting it, and it's terrible.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Other than that, it's done.
dan friesen
You can always pretend that that's what 2019 was for you.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
And just forget about...
jordan holmes
Not worried about getting fired and the whole drama and losing my mind for a tick.
You know, none of that noise.
dan friesen
No, no, no.
That all fades into the background and all that's left.
jordan holmes
And that led to finishing the rough draft.
Now I'm going to be poor forever.
dan friesen
So that's nice.
Let's leave this year behind.
unidentified
Hell yeah.
dan friesen
Just the faint memories of my plants are still alive and you wrote a rough draft.
jordan holmes
Hell yeah.
dan friesen
All right.
So Jordan, this is a show where I don't know much about the last year, but I do know a bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
And I don't know anything about either.
dan friesen
Correct.
So today we got, you know, hey, we're recording this on New Year's Eve.
And I thought, what should we do here?
Indeed.
What should we do here?
And I thought, like, maybe past New Year's Eve's of Alex's.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure.
dan friesen
But what's going to be better than the Y2K?
jordan holmes
No, you can't be Y2K.
dan friesen
And we already did that.
jordan holmes
We nailed that one.
dan friesen
We did that a long while back.
So I thought, why not see how Alex closes out 2019 on his own show.
So today we're going over December 31st, 2019.
It's a really interesting show.
Alex is in bad shape.
jordan holmes
I imagine so.
I was unable to avoid the very, very bad news he received today.
dan friesen
Well, yeah, let's talk about that for a moment.
unidentified
Sure!
dan friesen
He didn't just receive that news.
That news, what we're talking about is there were articles that came out yesterday as we're recording this, on the 30th, that Alex and Infowars had been found basically in contempt of court for their deposition behavior, among other things.
And so it added up to penalties of about $100,000 that Alex and InfoWars were facing.
And for all intents and purposes, InfoWars is Alex.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
So he just got hit with a pretty sizable fine that has nothing to do with the outcome of the case.
So if he ends up being found guilty in the civil trial...
That's going to be whatever that is plus this $100 or $100,000, which he's on the hook for no matter what.
And so the thing is, I thought about that, and I thought about, like, of course we've got to do the 31st because we've got to get Alex's response to that.
But if you read those articles, that ruling came down on December 20th.
Yeah.
You could go back to our episode about the 19th and 20th and now listen to it with that context and see if you can sense any additional anger.
He just seemed a bit racist.
I don't know if that was because of the...
jordan holmes
It's strange.
It's strange that...
Everybody's going crazy now, and it seemed like he was just being a real dick the same way that he always is.
dan friesen
Yeah, so on our episode today, I thought about the possibility that Alex could be responding to the news of the fine breaking.
But to him, this isn't news.
The fine, he's known about for 10 days up to this point.
So he's had plenty of time to adjust to it, and I don't really see much of a response to the news breaking of it.
Gotcha.
He's just in bad shape in general.
jordan holmes
Oh, right.
Well, yeah.
dan friesen
I mean, his world's crumbling around him.
jordan holmes
There is that.
Yeah.
dan friesen
So I do think it's really cool, though, that the courts do have a mechanism to punish Rob Dew.
unidentified
Somebody said something where it's like, I screwed it.
jordan holmes
Is this legal?
And it's like...
Well, he's not going to jail, but no, it is not legal to be that uninformed.
dan friesen
Yeah, it turns out there are consequences for basically playing dumb in a situation where you're required to not play dumb.
jordan holmes
Or sending somebody in who is actually dumb in that situation.
dan friesen
Yeah, so that's a positive.
And it also really indicates that Alex is scared of Rob Dew.
Because it just cost him, like, I think that portion of it is like something to the tune of like $60,000.
So either he really doesn't want to answer those questions, or Rob Do is worth $70,000 fines to him because he knows too much.
Any of this is possible.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's true.
dan friesen
Whatever the case, it's nice to see these consequences mounting.
And we'll see how much more ends up coming, because I'm certain there will be more.
jordan holmes
It's hard to see them pulling out of this death spiral, that's for sure.
dan friesen
If past his prelude, he's got a lot more finds coming up.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
So, Jordan, we're going to get down to the 31st.
There's some actually kind of interesting things going on in here, along with...
I would say that most of this episode is stalling.
jordan holmes
It's stalling!
Yes.
Does he think that there's some sort of, like, when the clock strikes 12, those fines don't mean anything?
dan friesen
It has nothing to do with the fines, but it really feels like he's trying to run down the clock for most of the show.
unidentified
Which, at a certain point, it becomes, why even do it?
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, right.
He's just staring at the clock like somebody waiting till 3pm at a high school.
dan friesen
He's got pills to sell, so that's why you run out the clock.
And we'll get down to business on all that, but before we do, we've got to take a moment to say thank you to some folks who have signed up and are supporting the show.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's lovely.
dan friesen

dan friesen
Are you talking about the whistleblower?
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
Not the secret space program.
jordan holmes
No, no.
He's faded into the background.
dan friesen
Absolutely.
Alex has pretended he never existed.
Right.
Next, Abigail.

We appreciate that very much.
So, very special thank you going out to the Gable family leftist support page.
Thank you so much.
You are now technocrats.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
Crikey, mate.
That's fantastic.
Have yourself a brew.
How's your 401k doing, bro?
We gotta go full tilt boogie on this, Watson, alright?
Let's just get down to business.
We ain't making that money off that heroin.
Why are you pimps so good?
My neck is freakishly large.
I declare Infowar on you.
dan friesen
Thank you so much, Gable family leftist support page.
jordan holmes
Thank you to the entire Gable family.
Clark Gable.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Green Gable.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Any other Gables that we got?
dan friesen
And from the Green Gable.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I think that counts.
dan friesen
Sure.
If you're out there listening and you're thinking, hey, I like this 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.
jordan holmes
It'd be lovely.
dan friesen
So, Alex starts off the show talking a little bit about how he's getting a lot of press.
And he's gotten some press.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And you might think, well, some of its press is coming from articles about how you just got fined $100,000.
jordan holmes
You would think that.
dan friesen
Some other press is coming from other avenues.
Alex seems to think that a lot of it has to do with him getting that tank Two weeks ago Oh Also, very serious music coming in.
jordan holmes
What is that, one-winged angel from FF7?
dan friesen
It's very intense.
alex jones
I was standing in one of the bays of a warehouse at the Infowars News Center in Austin, Texas, and I was watching the armored vehicle roll out into the sun.
And knowing that Owen Schroer and more of our crew were about to get on airplanes and fly to the East Coast to meet it and to engage the globalists at Point Blank Range.
jordan holmes
I can't focus.
alex jones
And that trip was fabulously successful.
Imagine if we had crews, five or six crews everywhere Trump goes, everywhere the leftists.
Democrat candidates go taking over the media events.
They can't help it.
All because of one little innovation, like an armored vehicle with mounted bullhorns blasting out.
dan friesen
I don't think I've heard almost anybody talk about Alex having a tank.
jordan holmes
I believe we are the only people who have ever talked about Alex having a tank.
dan friesen
I've seen a couple tweets every now and again, like, look at this asshole.
jordan holmes
Hey, look at this idiot with a tank!
dan friesen
And I think that when he goes to a Hillary rally, people yell at him in the tank, but I think they'd yell at him anyway.
I don't think it has any added escalation.
I mean, it is an escalation on some level.
jordan holmes
I have not read anything in the Hill about the tank.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
That's for sure.
dan friesen
No.
Certainly has not been, like, no one's getting into a fit about it.
I think most people think it looks desperate.
That seems to be the, I don't know.
I think that the news coverage that Alex has gotten, you know, largely is about these stalling tactics that he's trying with the Sandy Hook lawsuit.
And then another one was Will Johnson, one of his reporters, pretending to not be an InfoWars employee when he was interviewed and got on the mainstream news.
So, like, yes, okay, you doing shitty things in this lawsuit and your reporters acting like...
Blatantly unethically.
Yes, that is getting people a little bit like, hey, what the fuck is wrong with you?
The tank does not play into this.
jordan holmes
No, I believe it was the tank.
It was the tank.
dan friesen
Non-factor.
jordan holmes
No, everybody saw that tank and they were like, unlike whenever people get a massive Hummer or something like that, clearly compensating for something, he is getting that tank because he is right on, baby.
dan friesen
He's trying to make up for his incredible desperation.
So, in this next clip, Alex talks about how there's people waking up now, right?
alex jones
Sure.
dan friesen
And that's why InfoWars needs to stay on the air.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's more or less a sales pitch.
And I really think that there's something very interesting in this.
And after the clip, I'm going to translate for you what he's actually saying.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Because it sounds like he's saying something, but he's actually saying something completely different.
alex jones
And we understand just how evil and just how corrupt and just how committed to evil.
The globalists, their minions are, but a lot of people are still naive to that.
They're awake, they know they're being lied to, but they haven't really gotten their bearings yet.
People are ready to be fully awoken.
But we have to be there to do it, and that's why they've taken the incredibly bold, dangerous gamble and implemented the technocracy, the Chinese social score system, early against the West.
And it's blown up in their face across Europe, across the UK, and here as well.
dan friesen
So, for those of you who don't speak Alex, when Alex says that people are waking up, but they're naive and don't have their bearings, and that's why Alex needs to be on air to guide them and help them, what he's really saying is that things like the Epstein didn't kill himself meme are serving as prime radicalization pipelines that he can't exploit if he's not on air.
Things like that grow and touch the lives of people who would be otherwise completely unaccessible to Alex's bullshit, and seeing people starting down that road and not being able to guide them into his revenue stream is driving Alex up a wall.
He's basically saying that these people are money on the table if he can just direct them into his, hey, the globalists are the bad guys.
You know, it's just money on the table, and he needs to be on air to collect it.
jordan holmes
People who are awake but naive are just an untapped revenue stream for him.
dan friesen
Yes, they are a market that I am not in and I need to be in.
jordan holmes
I would prefer he brought back John Williams from now on when he's speaking.
dan friesen
As for the social credit score stuff that he's talking about, Alex is just saying that he's mad that his actions have consequences and that companies like Twitter and Facebook don't want him to spread his bullshit on their platform.
That's not a Chinese social credit score.
That's just what happens, and should happen more often to people who show that they're incapable of being trusted with platforms.
When Alex is talking, it all sounds like big talk, and as if there's some sort of geopolitical truth behind what he's saying, but in reality, it's just that he sees money on the table, and that people taking him seriously has made it harder for him to get that money.
That's all he's saying there.
If you really strip away a lot of the veneer and the pretense and the decorations and the stupid turns of phrase, it's just there's a lot of fucking suckers that I'm not being able to talk to.
jordan holmes
I need you guys to get me to them!
They're waiting.
They're ready for me.
They're primed.
They're stoked.
unidentified
They want to take what I think might be crack.
jordan holmes
I have brain force and it might be crack.
What happened to...
dan friesen
My former lawyer said it's very similar to stimulants, as have I. So let's get everyone on them.
So it's kind of an unfocused beginning of the show, but Alex cracks the whip on himself and declares that this is going to be...
A disciplined broadcast.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
And I'm going to have a more disciplined broadcast because 20 years ago I was more disciplined, actually.
15 years ago I was more disciplined.
jordan holmes
True.
alex jones
And I've gotten very undisciplined and it's good radio and it's important things get covered and we break a lot of new ground and it's game-changing transmission, the most hated broadcast in the world by evil.
That's really a fact.
Because of that responsibility, we must go to the next level.
dan friesen
And take the show seriously and be disciplined.
Do you want him to make bets on whether or not he follows through this?
jordan holmes
Is that a New Year's resolution?
Is that for the whole thing or just this broadcast?
dan friesen
I think he thinks it is, but he's specifically talking about today's show.
December 31st, this is going to be a disciplined show.
jordan holmes
Okay.
What's the over...
I'm going to go with three minutes before he goes on a ramble.
dan friesen
I mean, it might not even be that.
unidentified
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
Because he starts to get really pedantic about whether or not tomorrow, as we're recording this, January 1st, is that a new decade?
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
Is that a new decade?
jordan holmes
Oh, for fuck's sakes.
That's a disciplined broadcast right there.
dan friesen
He gets really, really hyper-focused on this, but really, by the end of this clip, you'll see that it's actually just a way of getting into bigotry.
alex jones
We're being told that it is the dawn of a new decade.
That's not true.
And I know you know that, but the fact that it was a debate in 1999, the media couldn't wait to say that we ended the second thousand years since Christ's death and resurrection as we mark it from Christ's birth.
And they were so excited about saying that we were into a new Millennia, not just a new century, that they told everyone that the year 2000, the start of that was the end of the 20th century and the second millennia after Christ.
jordan holmes
We're not doing this, are we?
alex jones
And the common calendar.
jordan holmes
We're not doing this.
alex jones
Just absolutely not true.
unidentified
Ugh.
alex jones
Like saying, men can have babies.
They cannot.
dan friesen
Boom!
Okay.
jordan holmes
All right.
I didn't realize that the dick at a party in New Year's Eve was like, well, it's not actually the new...
I mean, there is no year zero.
Also, I don't think trans people exist.
Okay, great.
dan friesen
Yeah, I'm going to misinterpret that entire conversation that people are having.
Cool.
I think that it's really fun.
The way Alex is really focused on this.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Because I have a really hard position on this.
Of course you do.
Is this a new decade?
jordan holmes
Of course you do.
dan friesen
And you know what it is?
unidentified
Who gives a shit?
Who gives a shit?
jordan holmes
Say it's a new decade.
unidentified
Say it's not.
I don't really give a shit.
dan friesen
Who cares?
jordan holmes
This time isn't even real, man.
Shut up.
We're having a good time.
dan friesen
You know how we group time?
Yeah.
Like decades.
Arbitrarily.
And it's also very...
Up for debate.
There's a lot of people who believe that the 70s obviously didn't start in 1970 and end in 1979.
Same with the 60s.
jordan holmes
The 70s started in 68 and ended in 76 or whatever.
dan friesen
And we colloquially talk about decades in a lot of different ways.
Who cares?
You don't need to be this dickish.
jordan holmes
Epochs, eras, they're all based on the base 10 system, and how dare you?
dan friesen
You're totally right, though.
If I were to hear somebody talking like this, I would either try and fuck with them or leave.
I have no interest in this conversation of, you know, next year is when the decade really starts.
jordan holmes
Did you know the Council of Nicaea took a year away?
So it's not even then.
It's 2022.
dan friesen
I just don't care.
So, Alex is mad that people are saying that men can get pregnant.
Sure.
jordan holmes
And that it's a new...
dan friesen
Now, here's where it gets strange.
I believe that a lot of the conversation that surrounds this issue is about people assigned as women at birth who are trans men.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I believe that this is the conversation that I've heard people have.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
You know, with someone who is a man.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Can get pregnant.
jordan holmes
But still has a fully functioning uterus.
dan friesen
And we've seen a couple cases of this that have been in the news.
You know, you see these things come up every now and again, these sorts of situations.
Now, Alex seems to think there's something else going on, which...
I find trouble.
jordan holmes
They're putting test tube babies inside men.
dan friesen
You bet.
alex jones
I knew it!
Now, with all these genetically engineered artificial wombs that are really just human wombs outside of a woman, can they rig something up and grow some shriveled poor human in there?
unidentified
Like the Bennett Lilacs.
alex jones
Stick that in a man and say, oh, a man had a baby.
Yeah, they can pretty much already do that.
But that man didn't have a baby.
A genetic Frankenstein was created.
And a human soul was abused and tortured.
A mad scientist, hell-bent on playing God.
jordan holmes
Could you back that up with anything?
alex jones
Most people do makeup and hair before they go on air.
I tend to forget about it and do it once I get on air.
jordan holmes
What?
alex jones
No makeup.
It's been about five seconds going on my hair, which is evident.
dan friesen
That was jarring.
Yeah, I left that in because of just the tonal shift.
It's pretty shocking.
jordan holmes
You can't go from the mad scientist, the Dr. Frankenstein's torturing a human soul, and I really should have put my makeup on before I got on air.
dan friesen
Where are these people putting the baby in the man?
In the stomach?
jordan holmes
Where are they putting the soul?
dan friesen
Right, the shriveled.
jordan holmes
Tortured soul.
dan friesen
I don't know.
I would like a citation on that.
I would like an explanation, but it does not come.
jordan holmes
It doesn't?
dan friesen
No, because there is big news that is broken in the morning of the 31st, and that is of the protester militia types.
I'm not entirely sure what the correct nomenclature would be.
Still sort of an evolving situation, even as we're recording.
Storming the embassy in Iraq.
jordan holmes
Yes.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
And Alex...
jordan holmes
Because they have so many babies in their duodenums, they gotta get out.
dan friesen
That might be a part of it.
That's not Alex's report.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
I think that this should be a little bit of an iffy case for him.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I believe that they're based on the things that he has espoused as his belief system.
He should not really have...
A hard take on this.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
But it seems like he does, and it seems to be that he wants, like, because Trump has blamed Iran, and so Alex is too.
That's kind of, that's where he's at.
alex jones
Continuing, here's the Washington Post.
Protesters chant, death to America, break into U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad.
Protesters.
So I guess if I went down to a federal building and broke into it and beat people up and aimed guns at them and then burned something down, I'll just go, oh, I'm a protester.
Of course, I'd get shot dead, and I should be.
Unless I was storming the building, you know, to save kidnapped kids or something.
dan friesen
Weird lines?
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Alex talks all the time about how once this shit pops off, they're going to go around killing all the cops and how the book Unintended Consequences is going to come real.
All that stuff.
jordan holmes
But if he were to do that, they would be well within their rights to murder him immediately, I believe is what he just said.
dan friesen
I mean, I guess that's what he has to believe.
jordan holmes
I think that's what he believes.
dan friesen
At the same time, Alex talks all the time about how our illegal war in Iraq has killed hundreds of thousands of civilians.
jordan holmes
Sure.
And there's no reason that the civilians would have any.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with us.
dan friesen
I think this should be a nuanced case for Alex.
jordan holmes
Very much so.
dan friesen
I don't think that he should have a position of, like, this is the globalists trying to do whatever, or trying to make it the Ron's the bad guy.
unidentified
But that is the way he's playing it, which seems weird to me.
jordan holmes
It will never cease to amaze me how many and varied and...
Damn near infinite the amount of mistakes are made towards Iraq and Iran based on singular snap judgments with no nuanced thinking at all and how committed they are to continuing to make them.
dan friesen
Yeah, and that's one of the reasons why I don't really want to talk about the actual event all that much because I do not have a good handle on what's going on, nor do I think I really could at the time that we're recording.
jordan holmes
Definitely not.
dan friesen
So I'm speaking primarily from...
Alex likes to make snap judgments.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Alex has expressed various positions in the past.
You'd think that this input would lead to a certain output, and yet it doesn't.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Which is weird.
It is very much focusing on Iran being a bad guy, and that he's insistent on repeatedly comparing it to the Iran hostage crisis in the 70s.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's not good.
dan friesen
Right.
And so he brings it up as, the only way he can really frame it is, You know, hey, if you don't go in and just shoot these people who are trying to get into the embassy, you're going to allow them to take hostages, and then we're back into the 70s.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And so he talks about that, and then he...
jordan holmes
Do you mean we'll be able to get onto planes easier again?
dan friesen
No.
And he blames Soros, specifically.
unidentified
Sure.
alex jones
Oh, it's a big one.
That's one way the deep state could try to derail Trump is another 1979-1980 hostage crisis with Iran.
Iran's trying to repeat that, obviously.
They're working with elements of the deep state.
John Kerry, George Soros, Hillary Obama to have shadow policy and to derail what Trump's been doing?
They've admitted that.
dan friesen
Prove any of that.
Can't do it.
jordan holmes
There's only one guy that we can specifically prove has a shadow foreign policy in place, and it's not the people he named.
dan friesen
No.
I know that later in this episode, Alex says that John Kerry was involved with the Iran deal.
With the nuclear agreement?
jordan holmes
Or the one from the 80s?
dan friesen
No, the nuclear agreement.
And that seems to be the only piece of evidence that Alex throws out in terms of these people are working with Iran to create another hostage crisis.
That doesn't work.
That's not enough.
That's not enough here.
To shift your little...
Finger pointing to Soros and the deep state and whatever.
It's very thin and he doesn't support this at all.
And I think that that's one of the reasons that he ends up stalling for almost all of this episode.
Okay.
Is because he really doesn't want to talk about this story in much specific detail.
And then I don't think he has much else to talk about.
jordan holmes
Oh.
dan friesen
So he just rambles about how great his staff is for a little bit.
jordan holmes
Why?
They just cost him a lot of money.
dan friesen
One of them did, yeah.
He's not talking about Rob.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
In this clip, while bragging, it's about Owen Troyer.
unidentified
He's fucking awesome.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
So, Owen Troyer's awesome.
And in service of talking about how awesome Owen is, Alex ends up saying a few things that I can't imagine are true.
alex jones
You know, I'm a fan of our crew.
I've met like Michael Jordan and all these other top Hollywood people and they're interesting and they've definitely got something about them.
But oh, that's on Shorier.
That's somebody fighting for my future, my children's future.
That's a guy that has a will not to care what the globalists do to him or be deplatformed or be lied about or be demonized.
And he just gets stronger in the face of it.
jordan holmes
That's the spare.
dan friesen
So fake.
I think Owen's got blackmail on Alex.
unidentified
Yeah, there's, that's, that's, that's, that's an insult.
jordan holmes
That is not a compliment.
He did not compliment Owen Troyer.
That is an insult to Owen Troyer.
The idea, the very idea that you would legitimately entertain.
I've met Michael Jordan, but let me tell you something about Owen Troyer.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
That is an insult.
That is a veiled insult.
dan friesen
I have two gigantic problems here.
The first one is Owen Troyer.
Well, now we got three.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
One is, Alex says, Michael Jordan and other top Hollywood people.
jordan holmes
Well, yes.
dan friesen
Because Alex's favorite movie is Space Jam, of course.
I don't know why that's the grouping.
jordan holmes
Bill Murray's best work.
dan friesen
I don't know why that's the grouping of people.
Michael Jordan and big top Hollywood people.
jordan holmes
The owner of the Charlotte Hornets and, of course, Robert Redford.
dan friesen
Second problem.
When the fuck did you meet Michael Jordan?
jordan holmes
Same thing!
dan friesen
What are you fucking talking about?
jordan holmes
You've met Michael Jordan.
dan friesen
Did you yell at him at some Bulls game at San Antonio or something?
He came and played the Spurs and you yelled at him?
jordan holmes
I mean, I don't know.
Maybe when he was younger he was taken to one of the Houston Rockets Bulls playoff games.
That's possible?
Yeah, why not?
dan friesen
Sure.
In the same way, I met Kobe Bryant.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
I got his autograph when I was 16 or whatever.
17. Yeah, nonsense.
jordan holmes
You've met Kobe Bryant and Robert Redford, and you know everybody.
dan friesen
More interested in Owen Schreier, for sure.
Yeah, I don't believe any of that shit.
So Alex gets to his top story, and of course, it's that the Chinese government is taking over the world, as is the story every day.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And I'm only keeping this clip in because Alex says something weird in the middle of it that I want to unpack a little bit, because I just don't understand what he's saying.
alex jones
I had one of the reporters walk up and say, hey, what do you want to call the article we put out every day with a headline about the live feed of the show and what the main topic is, what the top story is?
And it really is the Chi-Com takeover of the planet.
And I'm not for abortion, but I am for metaphysical abortion of horrible monstrosities like baby Grindle rolling out from between his serpent mother's legs.
So I would like to kill Grendel in utero.
dan friesen
What's metaphysical abortion?
jordan holmes
I want to let that sit.
That's a piece of artwork.
I want to admire that.
I want that quote to be on a poster.
I want to look at it whenever I'm disappointed in myself.
dan friesen
He does continue on with a Beowulf riff, too.
He keeps going with it.
unidentified
We need Beowulf to come and choke out Grendel's mom.
dan friesen
Which is the globalist.
The globalist of Grendel's mom.
China is Grendel, or something.
jordan holmes
Oh boy.
dan friesen
I don't know what metaphysical abortion is, though.
I just don't know.
jordan holmes
I mean, are we talking...
Because some metaphysical abortion can still be done with a pill.
It can even be prescribed across state lines.
But some metaphysical abortions require a more involved process.
dan friesen
I'm thinking that what he's saying is that he is in favor of nipping things in the bud, like the Chinese World Takeover, and then he's calling that abortion metaphysical abortion?
I don't know.
It's strange phrasing.
I think if you were stridently anti-abortion like Alex is...
Maybe not good to call some of your aspirations metaphysical abortions.
jordan holmes
Right.
unidentified
Well...
dan friesen
Seems weird that you were dead.
jordan holmes
He even did say he wanted to kill Grendel's baby in the womb.
In utero.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So where does he feel on aborting...
Where does he fall on aborting Hitler?
I think that's the question.
dan friesen
When does a monster become a monster?
When did Grendel become Grendel?
jordan holmes
I don't know.
Probably when...
dan friesen
At conception.
jordan holmes
Probably when she was read...
When he was writing her.
dan friesen
So Alex, in service of not getting to any news, he goes to calls very early in the show.
Right.
Almost like maybe within the first half hour he goes to calls.
jordan holmes
Discipline broadcast.
dan friesen
Yes.
And so here is him launching into that.
alex jones
And it's probably been a couple of years since I've gone to calls by this segment, but I'm doing it right now.
Jeff in Canada.
Jeff in Canada is our first caller.
Thank you, sir, for joining us.
Go ahead.
dan friesen
So Alex is lying.
This is not the first time in a few years that he's gone to calls really early.
jordan holmes
I thought it wasn't Jeff in Canada.
dan friesen
No, Jeff in Canada does show up, and Jeff is an all-star.
jordan holmes
Okay, okay.
dan friesen
But, Alex, you might remember that recently he promised he was going to have a studio surgery, cutting a microchip out of a homeless person to prove all of this stuff.
And he said, big news, it's coming on Tuesday.
We're doing this on Tuesday.
We're just filling out the HIPAA forms.
That day, that Tuesday...
Went to calls really early into the whole show.
So I think that there's a thing where...
jordan holmes
You think there's a pattern here?
alex jones
Yeah, I think so.
dan friesen
I think when...
He has been going to calls a lot more lately.
That is definitely true.
There's a trend towards more calls.
But I think whenever the show is almost all calls, it's just because I don't even want to fuck around.
I don't want to do it.
I said I was going to cut a chip out of somebody.
Let's pretend I didn't.
Just talk to the people.
So Jeff calls in.
jordan holmes
It's like judo.
It's a little bit like judo.
I was like, hey, they think that I'm going to get this, but you know what else?
They'll really love being able to talk to me.
dan friesen
Right, right.
They'll see themselves in these collars, and that'll put the veil over everyone's eyes.
jordan holmes
Jangle those keys.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So Jeff from Canada gets on, and he has an interesting idea for how, I don't know, how they're going to win the battle.
I don't even know how to fucking explain this.
This is dumb.
This is just real dumb.
unidentified
Here's what I was thinking.
What would it look like if Trump would look out into one of his rallies and he saw hundreds or thousands of people with duct tape on their mouth with, I was censored for looking at Infowars.
I was censored for talking about vaccines.
I was censored for whatever.
And what I'm seeing, and I'll submit this to you, I'm just an idea.
What about the armored vehicle showing up at a Trump rally early when the big lines are out and go out and hand out duct tape and talk to people about the essential fact that free speech is going and do a silent protest at a Trump rally with people putting duct tape over their mouths?
alex jones
Jeff, how would you like to fly to Austin and get hired as a contractor for the next 300 days to run that operation?
We actually talked about that a few weeks ago.
dan friesen
Giving this duct tape guy a job.
unidentified
Love it.
dan friesen
A couple problems with this.
Trump would never be able to read the words that are written on duct tape on someone's mouth.
jordan holmes
I was thinking that maybe he didn't specifically say written on their mouths, did he?
Maybe he meant they had signs.
dan friesen
I think that's the implication.
jordan holmes
It really did sound like the implication.
dan friesen
The lettering would be way too small.
jordan holmes
Way too small.
dan friesen
Second, I don't know if Trump would care.
jordan holmes
I don't think he would care.
dan friesen
Although it would be really fucked up as a visual.
If just a sea of people had duct tape on their mouth.
jordan holmes
Because I think in this scenario, none of these people will be able to stop themselves from also clapping.
dan friesen
And yelling.
jordan holmes
So it won't matter.
dan friesen
yelling with their mouths duct taped.
unidentified
Woo!
jordan holmes
Excuse me, I can't hear you.
You guys need to take the duct tape off your mouth.
dan friesen
So Alex rambles for about ten minutes about why this is the greatest idea and why he's going to steal it.
This guy's not getting a job.
But Alex is going to steal the idea.
But like I said, there's a couple problems.
The first is that Trump couldn't see the letters.
The second is duct tape?
How the fuck are we going to monetize that?
alex jones
We're going to put a number out today.
Don't put a hotline on me, like a thousand calls.
I have to go through all the other calls, but send us an email at showtipsatinfowars.com.
Say, I pledge to hand out a hundred stickers.
I pledge to hand out a thousand stickers.
And we'll just pay whatever it takes.
You know what?
I just believe you.
Whoever goes to showtipsatinfowars.com and asks for stickers, give us your address.
We'll call through those.
We'll send you those.
I'm not going to wait.
Hell, I'll man the damn thing myself.
I'll box it up.
I'll do it.
Because I'm not going to let destiny go past us, and we need to go take over those Trump events and demand that conservative ink be removed and that the neocon never-Trumpers be removed and that the people that got Trump elected be defended by their president and that the Bill of Rights be defended.
That is a serious solution.
And then when Trump pauses, Infowars.com!
jordan holmes
Hey there.
alex jones
Saveinfowars.com!
Because that's a rallying cry and a symbol the media hates.
They've tried to silence it.
It'll inject that in and will cause a whole other debate about all of that.
dan friesen
A couple problems.
How are you going to yell in Forrest.com if you've got duct tape on your mouth?
jordan holmes
Well, in this scenario now, I believe they have stickers on their mouths.
dan friesen
It's a bumper sticker on your mouth, yes, because Alex has changed that because that's monetizable.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get a little bit of juice out of that.
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
Yeah, this is really stupid.
But it is a good way to possibly create an absurd spectacle.
jordan holmes
I think it'd be funny.
dan friesen
Once.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's probably funny in a movie.
In the real world, I think it would be a really scary direction for things to go.
Just a bunch of people with Infowars stickers on their mouths taking them off to yell and putting it back on.
jordan holmes
That does sound like the beginning of a hostile film.
It would be funny the first time.
I think it would be hilarious.
The second and third time, not funny.
The fourth time, very scary.
The fifth time, hilarious again.
It's the Simpsons rake effect.
It's Silent Bob.
dan friesen
In reality, what you might end up seeing is like...
Two people with bumper stickers on their mouths at a Trump rally and no one will understand what's going on except us.
And then they'll be drowned out by everybody with their Q t-shirts and Alex will get furious.
That'll happen.
jordan holmes
I think the weird thing about where he's at now is I personally would not want to do those public call to actions just because now I don't think his audience is anywhere near...
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
So you don't want to find out exactly how small your audience is.
dan friesen
And those calls to action in the past have often been things that have been...
Potentially financially advantageous to the listeners.
So someone who's not even a fan might want to go and yell, Bill Clinton's a rapist, to try and get $1,000 from Alex.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I could use a grant.
dan friesen
You could see how anybody might be inclined to do that, even if they're not on board with InfoWars.
You wouldn't want a public demonstration of how weak your shit is.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
But bumper stickers on the mouths.
Let's do it.
So, this Jeff in Canada, he...
Alex compliments Alex after Alex rambles about how he's going to take his idea.
jordan holmes
Sure, of course.
dan friesen
And then Alex gets mad at him for getting complimented, which is something I can kind of relate to.
I sometimes push back when someone compliments me.
But Alex goes a little bit too far with it.
unidentified
Thanks, Alex.
You know, I think there's a truth that you guys are the tip of the spear.
You guys are the best.
I mean, that's just the way it is.
alex jones
Sir, hold on a second.
You just gave the order.
To the Central Texas Command Center.
You are this information hub.
You had the idea.
Most of the time it's you.
I was driving around in 2015 and saw a homemade sign in a yard that said Hillary for prison 2016 and I went with that idea and it was a third of the shirts at the RNC.
So that was again you understand that the orders come from you.
That's why Trump always wanted to hear what his Supporters and always getting notes and demanding the Secret Service get all the stuff they give them, and he puts it in a box on the plane and reads it.
He knows where the power comes from.
The ethos is you.
You, the soil.
It comes from you.
It comes from us.
dan friesen
Don't you get it?
I steal ideas.
jordan holmes
I was going to say, did he just reveal that he has no ideas of his own and he just trolls around stealing individuals' ideas and not giving them any credit for it?
dan friesen
I am the tip of the spear, but only because I steal from...
You!
You!
You are great!
jordan holmes
Do you not realize all I do now is talk about memes and try to jump on their back?
dan friesen
And then I try and get whatever traction I can out of fly-by-night people who make a fucking video of their dog, Zeke Hyling, or...
Count Dankula, or Carpe Donctum, or the guy who hits things with hammers, or the 30-year-old who got kicked out of his parents' basement.
I just try and attach myself to whatever dumb bullshit is flying around in the right-wing media sphere.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I would say he's the ass end of the zeitgeist.
dan friesen
And then I steal things and make money off it.
Don't you get it, Jeff?
alex jones
From Canada.
jordan holmes
Jeff, that's not a successful business model, Jeff.
Don't join InfoWars.
dan friesen
You should stay in Canada.
So Alex freaks out some more about this.
And I would say that this is pretty unhinged.
And I do not know why Alex is responding like this to Jeff just trying to be nice.
jordan holmes
Low self-esteem.
dan friesen
It's very intense, his backlash.
alex jones
So again, you're giving the orders here.
Jeff, go ahead.
unidentified
Well, praise God for us.
alex jones
Say it, Jeff.
Say, I am the tip of the spear.
Jeff in Canada is the tip of the spear and you're going to see your idea manifest on the street and how big it is is up to the rest of these people that are the tip of the spear.
I don't sit here and tell you all day that it's you to kiss your ass and make you feel important.
You are everything!
dan friesen
To pause here really quick, one thing I think that's really interesting that I think he's doing there is being like, we're going to do this.
And you're going to let Jeff down if you don't go along with this big idea.
It's not so much me.
It's not Trump.
It's not the West.
You're letting Jeff down.
jordan holmes
You're going to let Jeff from Canada down?
dan friesen
There's a weird sort of shifting of guilt around.
jordan holmes
He works for me now.
dan friesen
It's very strange.
jordan holmes
If he can afford the plane ticket.
dan friesen
Yeah, Alex can't.
alex jones
I'm getting on my knees right now in front of Jeff.
Give me a microphone.
I'm serious.
I love my kids, and I love God, and I hate the death, and I'll...
I'm on my knees to the listeners.
I'm on my knees to the viewers.
unidentified
I am on my knees asking you to take action!
alex jones
I am on my knees to you!
You have the answers.
You have the will.
You have the strength.
You have everything!
I don't want to sit here and watch us overrun by these zombies and their controllers.
So you heard Jeff say, oh, you are the tip of the spear.
Hello, Jeff.
You're the tip of the spear.
It's like in V for Vendetta.
Better find that scene when he's talking to the inspector.
V meets with the inspector.
I'm sure that's the name of it.
A little out of breath.
unidentified
Well, if you knew all this for 20 years, why didn't you do something?
alex jones
And he says, I was waiting for you, inspector.
I was waiting for you!
Jeff!
Sorry, Jeff, go ahead.
I love you to death, Jeff.
What else should we do, Jeff?
dan friesen
Jeff, tell me what to do, Jeff!
Goddamn.
unidentified
When you saw only one set of footprints in the sand, it was you, Jeff!
dan friesen
Jeff was carrying me!
jordan holmes
It was you!
dan friesen
Jeff was carrying me because he took super mail and he was very strong.
I remember back when I was in drama class, when I was in like maybe junior high or so.
And I had to do a skit, and I went a little overboard with some...
jordan holmes
You committed a little...
You Jared Leto'd it, if you will.
dan friesen
More Jim Carried it a little bit.
jordan holmes
Okay, okay.
dan friesen
And it went over well, got a nice reaction from the audience and all that.
But afterwards, we were getting notes from the teacher.
The teacher said, there's a difference between acting and overacting.
And that's a lesson that I'd like to bring from my youth to the present day to discuss what Alex just did.
jordan holmes
It reminded me nothing so much of Joe Pesci asking, like, what do you think was funny?
Do you think something funny happened?
Do I make you laugh?
Do I amuse you, Jeff?
From fucking Canada?
Do I think something's funny?
dan friesen
There's a method to that.
There's a craft to what Pesci's doing.
For Alex, this is just dorky and over the top.
Exactly.
It's so woefully transparent that you're like, I'm getting up from my desk and getting on my knees to the listeners.
It's like, God, just calm down.
jordan holmes
That one's lame.
dan friesen
Yeah, very much so.
Very much so.
So he goes to break after yelling to Jeff that he, you know, you need...
What do we do, Jeff?
unidentified
What do we do?
jordan holmes
Jeff was not expecting that.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
At the very least.
dan friesen
I just wanted to tell people to put duct tape on their mouths.
Yeah.
I got way more than I asked for.
jordan holmes
I am Jeff from Canada.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So Alex goes to break, and he comes back.
This is a longer clip.
This might be like a four-minute clip.
unidentified
Oh, shit.
dan friesen
So we might have to pause at some points.
But what happens is Alex, his favorite song plays as he comes in.
Right.
And it said, thank God for the Renegade song.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
Alex sings along and talks over it.
So there's a little bit of a return to the Alex Jones karaoke bar.
But what I think is particularly important about this is like, this is all Alex can do anymore really well.
And it's the only thing that I think he even enjoys, which is talking dramatically about bullshit.
Overswelling, inspirational music.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I'm a fan myself, actually.
dan friesen
We'll see if you can put up with it for a couple minutes.
Because I don't think you can.
alex jones
I don't think you can.
jordan holmes
Does he know he's live?
dan friesen
Yeah.
He has every reason to know who this dude is.
He's been on the show multiple times, and Alex has been playing this song for over a decade on his show.
jordan holmes
Really likes him.
dan friesen
Yes.
Can't come up with Steve Voss.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
Ridiculous.
jordan holmes
Tough to fight.
alex jones
Been on the air a long time.
We're going to ride back to your phone calls, but let's just listen to part of this.
Thank God for the renegades.
For you.
Far ahead of their time.
Without the renegades.
unidentified
The Lord knows where we'd be.
When it comes to heroes, the renegades are mine.
alex jones
He railed against the crown, another ragtag band, declaring independence.
unidentified
They railed against the crown, another ragtag band, declaring independence.
alex jones
They laid their bodies down on a bloody war.
unidentified
They laid their bodies down.
dan friesen
There is news to get to.
I should point out.
News is waiting.
jordan holmes
This is a very disciplined broadcast.
dan friesen
This is very disciplined.
The embassy is under siege in Iraq.
jordan holmes
Very disciplined.
alex jones
Build the strength of all their blood.
It's physically and spiritually in you now.
The commitment.
The sacrifice.
unidentified
The focus.
dan friesen
The spirit.
unidentified
And the enemy fears that spirit above all.
Because that spirit is life.
alex jones
Part of life.
You'd be willing to die for it.
Because from the sacrifice comes the strongest soil.
Make the We try to make us forget that birthright.
We try to make us forget what's in that soil.
We must take from the soil what God has given us through our ancestors.
dan friesen
Just real quick, Alex, not for nothing, Alex is kind of rambling about blood and soil.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I noticed that.
I wasn't stoked about that, but I'm trying to focus on the song.
unidentified
We must take it in our hands and feel the light in our soul.
alex jones
When it comes to heroes, renegades are mine.
And without the renegades, where will we be today?
Ask yourself that question.
And then ask yourself, who are the renegades in the world today?
You are those renegades.
jordan holmes
Jeff from Canada.
He's a renegade.
alex jones
Who are the renegades?
jordan holmes
Who are the Renegades?
dan friesen
Alex knew that that was the next lyric, and so he got his sort of rambling to be like, who are the Renegades?
Where are they nowadays?
You have to ask yourself that question.
Pro shit.
jordan holmes
He's setting it up.
He's setting it up.
dan friesen
Such a dork.
alex jones
In the world today!
jordan holmes
Thank God!
unidentified
For the Renegades!
alex jones
And the lives they lead are ahead of their time.
Those that came before us could envision the future.
They envisioned it.
They built it.
We won't even live to see the things our sacrifices bring.
But know this.
The enemy has not even begun to force us to tap the resources of our ancestors that God gave us in strength.
They paid forward a spiritual dimensional well like a giant underground aquifer of pure energy waiting for us to access it.
And the enemies of God do not have that birthright.
They cannot access their ancestors.
They can access nothing but destruction.
And they believe their God will finally make them pure when all they do is produce death and sickness and ugliness.
They are cursed from the foundations of the earth.
Two serving their master.
They are of their father, the devil.
jordan holmes
So thank God for the renegade.
Oh, sorry.
alex jones
Can save them because they have chosen to follow their father.
dan friesen
The devil.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
unidentified
All right.
alex jones
No more preaching.
jordan holmes
The original renegade.
alex jones
I'm going to break.
I'm going to take 30 minutes of calls nonstop.
Then I'm going to cover the Iran.
And then I'm going to cover the TACOM takeover.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
It's all important.
but you can feel the energy going into 2020.
You can feel God's wrath being poured out onto the planet.
And the fear that anyone fears should not be the devil.
unidentified
The fear should not be.
That was an entire segment of the show.
dan friesen
That is an entire commercial to commercial Singing along, yelling nonsense over the renegades, then getting into preaching about how his enemies are damned, then yelling at himself about how he's got to stop preaching and get to calls and then get to the news.
This show is just...
Out of control.
jordan holmes
I'll tell you.
dan friesen
This could not be more disciplined.
jordan holmes
I could have...
The whole thing fell apart for me because what should have happened is the drum fill from I Can Feel It Coming in the Air Tonight should have kicked in.
And then we could have fucking nailed this whole thing.
It would have been amazing.
This would have been the perfect segment if they had ended with that drum fill.
dan friesen
Or just something quirky like Easy Lover by Phil Collins.
Something that is like a jaunty...
jordan holmes
The crash test.
dan friesen
What a fool believes.
jordan holmes
See, now we're doing it!
dan friesen
Talking about the devil over the Doobie brothers.
God, that'd be great.
jordan holmes
That would be fantastic.
dan friesen
So Alex, he's chastised himself.
No more of this preaching bullshit.
I gotta knuckle down.
Absolutely.
We just heard him go out to commercial.
Here's how he comes back from commercial.
alex jones
Light of fire.
We have lit the fire and people came from all over the world to find what lit that fire.
Some have come to steal the fire.
jordan holmes
Really?
We're doing this again?
alex jones
We have come to release the fire.
The Promethean fire.
The fire given to us by our creator.
The fire we must use against the enemy or be destroyed and our children enslaved.
Never.
unidentified
They planted their satanic flag on our children and told us openly they're going to have their way with them.
alex jones
They have only summoned their destruction, and they know it.
unidentified
They are prepared for hell and the abyss.
They will change.
They will change.
But God will direct it.
alex jones
And all these great men that serve evil will be torn down and will beg for redemption in the end, but it will fall on deaf ears.
I'm going to cut back now on the ranting, I said, but I haven't done that quite yet here on this final transmission of 2019.
Let's go right now to a liberal in New York that disagrees.
Liberal.
You're on the air.
Welcome.
jordan holmes
Jeff from Canada.
dan friesen
This is partially the producer's fault.
They could turn down the music at any point.
jordan holmes
They're egging him on.
Everybody there is like, it's New Year's Eve.
Let's get the fuck out of here.
Let's sing some songs.
dan friesen
I have a stronger suspicion that Alex is in a bad mood and he just needs pump-up jams.
He's like, I can't even get into this.
Just fucking play some really inspiring music and I'll fake it.
I'll just fucking fake it.
jordan holmes
Did he just invent a new form of preaching where instead of bothering with reading the Bible and learning and providing wisdom, you just play fucking classic rock and talk to it as if it's talking back to you?
dan friesen
Hey man, it works.
jordan holmes
I think that'd be great.
dan friesen
Yep.
So liberal calls in.
Liberal!
And so what liberal's got to say is largely...
jordan holmes
How come you don't play any hip-hop?
dan friesen
No, that's not the question that's asked.
Everyone enjoys the Patriot Rock.
Liberal asks, along the lines of, how are we pretending that Trump is doing a good job and is anything other than what we've been accustomed to when he re-signed the Patriot Act?
He re-signed the NDAA?
When are you going to recognize these things and call it out for what it is?
And Alex is not doing a good job with this call.
And again, I would like to point out, this is a very disciplined broadcast.
unidentified
And this is what I'm speaking about with regards to Trump.
Why is it that he's renewing the Patriot Act?
If we are supposedly going back to being great again, where we revere the Constitution and our freedoms of speech and things of that nature, why is it that he's reenacting these bills?
Can you explain that to me?
alex jones
I totally agree.
I totally agree with you.
Let me finish this piece of chicken that I'm letting you talk, which I've learned to make myself be quiet like she eats while you talk.
She eats someone in a row.
That's your point, and I'll answer that.
dan friesen
Well, looks like our theory is confirmed.
Check that box off of the Knowledge Fight theories.
jordan holmes
Absolutely confirmed.
unidentified
There we go.
dan friesen
I like eating when other people are talking.
Pretty regularly on air.
jordan holmes
Did he talk about cannibalism earlier?
Because I feel like that would also check it out.
dan friesen
Well, vaguely.
I mean, he always talks about cannibalism in some form or another.
Yeah.
Hey, man, I want to answer your question about why Trump is good, but he renewed the Patriot Act.
But I got this chicken in my mouth, so I got to take care of this breast that I got in my mouth.
And then I got a great answer for you.
He does not have a great answer for it.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's not surprising.
dan friesen
No.
This caller is pretty good, but it's a bit long.
It would be really tough to dissect the pieces where...
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And it's ultimately unfulfilling.
It's ungratifying.
No.
Because...
jordan holmes
The answer to those questions is he can't.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
And so he won't.
And you're not going to get the answer you want, which is him saying he can't.
dan friesen
And Alex is never going to address anything.
unidentified
Exactly.
dan friesen
He's never going to give a solid answer.
Right.
Liberal is talking, Alex asks what Trump should do.
And the answer is basically, take the money that's being spent on these overseas wars, end them, reallocate them for infrastructure projects, job creation.
Some pretty redistributional kinds of...
jordan holmes
What a stupid liberal to say those things.
dan friesen
That's a position that you'd hear on the left.
I think a lot of people on the right might be like, let's just stop spending the money.
Whereas on the left, a lot of people are more towards putting that money towards things that will create greater outcomes for people who are in...
Bad financial situations.
And reinvestment in the country itself.
Public spaces.
That sort of shit.
jordan holmes
Good things.
dan friesen
So it's really interesting to hear Alex's response to liberals saying that that is what Trump should do.
Because Alex totally agrees with him.
jordan holmes
Of course he does.
dan friesen
Which is counter to every libertarian nonsense idea that Alex seems to think he has.
jordan holmes
Of course it is.
But it's the only thing that makes any fucking sense.
dan friesen
Then things get ugly and the call ends exactly how most of these calls end.
alex jones
You've done your research.
What does Trump need to do in 30 seconds?
What do we need to do?
unidentified
Trump needs to take or, as you said, create this fireside chat or whatever.
explain to the country that these illegal wars that we are pulling these troops out now.
You have given him cover with respect to the actions of his subordinates, not listening to him.
If that is the case, Alex, you fire all of them.
You pull the troops out.
You reassign or reallocate the monies that you've assigned to go overseas to rebuild infrastructure in the United States, create job programs.
I totally agree.
alex jones
I totally agree with you.
He said take Brennan's security clearance.
They didn't do it.
He said leave Afghanistan.
They didn't do it.
I mean, the truth is he's surrounded.
And I'm not saying that it's not his fault, but how does he stop it?
What does he do when he's surrounded?
unidentified
So, Alex, here's what.
When Obama was in power and everything illegal that was done under him was assigned to him.
It's the same with Trump.
It's the same respect.
Everything done illegally under him will be assigned to him.
He has to take the reins.
No, Alex.
Not in 2020 after the election.
alex jones
No, no, I agree with you.
Gut level.
You think Trump's for real?
unidentified
Gut level.
No, Alex.
I think that he's just a part of the...
Tyranny's still going on.
If I'm seen from an minister...
alex jones
Hey, liberal, great points, great points.
In fact, get his number and info.
I'd like to have him be part of the new show we're going to be doing.
unidentified
Of course.
alex jones
Call straight ahead.
I promise we'll get to all the news.
I said I would, but I'm going to your calls.
I'm going to your calls.
They're powerful, powerful listeners.
dan friesen
Powerful calls.
Going to give this guy a job.
jordan holmes
I am very hungry.
That's all I hear.
All I hear is I need you guys to continue talking so I can finish my lunch.
dan friesen
Yeah, turn that music up.
I need to chew.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Ridiculous.
So that call didn't go well.
I don't think, because I think Liberal was making some decent points, and Alex didn't have anywhere really to go with it, because they are points that are real problems for Alex.
He spent years yelling about the Patriot Act and the NDAA, and the very idea that Trump wouldn't get rid of them is really counter to Alex's narratives about what Trump believes, what he would do, what he will do.
And so, best not to talk about that.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
jordan holmes
You don't want to worry about whether or not the guy you said was going to do all this stuff is actually doing it, because he's not.
And you can't say that he is.
dan friesen
Certainly not.
So, Alex comes back from break, and you know what he's going to do.
alex jones
Oh, yes, she can.
jordan holmes
I've got to be honest.
alex jones
I'm liking it.
I'm liking it!
jordan holmes
This is a good New Year's Eve show.
unidentified
Two competing transmissions.
alex jones
Two different...
Messages now scientifically proven to be transmitting.
It's not just transmissions that guide the ducks and the butterflies and the hummingbirds from Canada down to South America.
It's not just magnetic.
Because the spectrum is so much bigger.
But there's free will in the universe.
And you either belong to Satan or you belong to God.
dan friesen
Nailed it.
alex jones
And Satan will trick you and lie to you.
God will just be straight up front.
jordan holmes
That's a pro move.
alex jones
But I get that a lot of people are scared of God.
I'm scared.
It's pretty awesome when you know God can see everything.
It looks right through your cells, right down to the tiny atoms.
It's not like that with the devil, is it?
jordan holmes
Is it?
alex jones
Because the devil is not omnipresent.
The devil's old.
Given free will.
Rebelled.
Not the same species.
Not the same as us.
Not as powerful as us.
But an 80-year-old man might not be able to get out of bed, but he's stronger than an embryo who doesn't even know who it is yet.
And that's all this is.
dan friesen
So it is.
jordan holmes
Wow.
Powerful words.
Powerful words.
dan friesen
I really think that...
jordan holmes
This is my favorite show of the year so far, just so you know.
dan friesen
I think that You Belong to the City must have just gone into public domain or been added to his whatever lease agreement he has with songs to a record label or whatever.
jordan holmes
His ASCAP or whatever.
dan friesen
He's been playing it a bunch lately.
jordan holmes
Are you listening to this?
Are you listening to that sax, Dan?
dan friesen
That might have taken over like quarter flash.
Yeah.
My number one spot of sax rock right now.
You know, you could, I mean, harden my heart.
It's pretty great.
jordan holmes
There's no stopping a good sax.
dan friesen
So yeah, I think that it's good news that the devil is old, but not omnipresent.
That means you can run away from him.
jordan holmes
I prefer it said in the other, he's not omnipresent.
He's old.
He's old!
dan friesen
I don't know if the devil isn't omnipresent, which I guess I never really thought about it.
What do you mean?
Well, I mean I never thought about it.
jordan holmes
Fair.
You know what?
That's a good point.
That's a good point.
dan friesen
If that's the case, then there have to be places where you could go to get away from the temptations or whatever.
It would have to be a thing where...
Right?
jordan holmes
Here is what I am going to say is what I think he thinks.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
In terms of omnipresence, I believe he thinks God is everywhere simultaneously all around us and within us.
dan friesen
But isn't that...
jordan holmes
Whereas the devil can go anywhere, but he is not always everywhere.
dan friesen
So if the devil is tempting me, he can't be tempting you.
unidentified
He's here with you.
jordan holmes
No, he can't be.
I'm out over here.
dan friesen
That's impossible.
jordan holmes
No, that's how it works.
dan friesen
The devil would be...
That's very inefficient.
jordan holmes
Oh, are you telling me that Santa Claus has a better system?
dan friesen
Yeah, probably.
I mean, based on what you're saying.
I think...
jordan holmes
I think that's what he believes.
dan friesen
I'm not really sure I've ever considered...
I guess I always thought of the devil as kind of more of a metaphor.
I never considered...
jordan holmes
You've never considered the logistics?
dan friesen
Physical properties or attributes.
jordan holmes
Are we giving him mutant powers?
Can he multiply?
Can there be a million devils and he can send all of them to each individual place?
Does he have to have subordinates?
I don't know.
What's the infrastructure like?
What's an opening salary for the devil?
dan friesen
I will say that I agree with Alex, at least in my conception of the devil, that he is old.
That is where we can find common ground.
jordan holmes
Can you agree on how old?
dan friesen
Pretty old.
jordan holmes
Fair.
dan friesen
So, in this next clip, I mean, it's kind of old at this point, but Alex is just...
jordan holmes
As old as the devil?
dan friesen
Not that old.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
He's constantly just playing these pump-up jams.
jordan holmes
I'm not getting old.
It is not getting old for me.
I know you enjoy research and digging into things.
dan friesen
There's almost nothing to look into for this episode.
alex jones
I knew it.
dan friesen
So here he pumps up some more.
And then he's like, we're getting to the end of the second hour of his show at this point.
And I think he has to rationalize why he hasn't gotten into the news yet.
So he does that in this clip.
alex jones
Because we'll fight you!
All right, now I'm going to do it.
I'm not getting to the Iran news and the huge China news that are so critical and I'm totally prepared for, that are massive.
They're totally critical.
Until I've taken at least the 15 calls that are on the board right now.
That means Jarek and Mike and Danny and Dave and Luke and Jason and Patriot and Gary and Eric.
dan friesen
I could totally do it.
I 100% could do it.
I'm totally ready.
I've prepared everything.
But I can't do it until I take 15 calls.
We are at the end of hour two and he's taken three.
So I do not believe you will get to that 15 number.
jordan holmes
I cannot stress enough.
That the only reason I am singing along and talking to all of these songs for what amounts to a half hour, at least at this point, is because I'm actually too prepared to talk about Iran and Iraq.
Too prepared, guys.
dan friesen
Totally.
jordan holmes
I'm going to go to some calls.
First, let's hear some tasty riffs.
dan friesen
Alex does say that sometimes.
Like, I am too prepared.
I have too much information.
He is!
There's nobody forcing him to take these calls.
We know for years he's just said he's going to go to calls and then never does.
No consequences for that.
But now, for some reason, there's an arbitrary rule that he must take these 15 calls before he gets to the news.
jordan holmes
Look, there's pressure from the higher-ups.
dan friesen
Sure, sure.
It's suspicious.
jordan holmes
I have a question.
And this is a hypothetical.
I know you can't actually answer this honestly.
But I like to imagine that This is his production staff knowing that he's got a little button that they can press where it's like, oh, if we just play this song for four minutes, that's four minutes of him talking to the song.
There's no previous discussion.
He doesn't bat an eye.
dan friesen
I can go smoke a cigarette.
They don't have to look stuff up on Google to put on the screen.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's a smoke break for them, right?
dan friesen
It's an interesting theory.
It's possible, but obviously we can't prove it.
I think it's more Alex is yelling at them during the breaks saying, you play these goddamn jams.
jordan holmes
I could go either way.
dan friesen
I am running on fumes.
jordan holmes
I really could.
dan friesen
I need some rock.
jordan holmes
I don't need no instructions.
dan friesen
So Alex starts taking more calls and he's in the middle of talking to some guy and he just gets off on a riff about how, you know, with the drag queen story times and stuff, they're Satan demons and they're going to come take your kids.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
And so we start in media res of one of those rants.
alex jones
Just absolutely showing you what they're going to do.
We've captured your children.
They're ours!
And we're going to destroy them!
unidentified
And there's nothing you can do!
More thing, Alex.
Obviously, we're in a reprieve.
alex jones
But my instincts, that hasn't worked on me.
Here's the thing.
If you become aware of what they're doing and explain to your brain what they're doing, and you decide to resist it, see, then you don't adapt and submit.
Then you adapt and overcome.
We're not going to submit.
We're going to overcome.
You understand?
And if they think they're maniacs, they're going to find out what the real thing is.
All these Satanists try to have mimics and counterfeits of things.
You don't think God's people have a rage a thousand times more powerful than them?
We can take out a hundred of their best people, one man focused.
And that's where this is all going.
These people are pathetic losers.
Sorry, go ahead.
unidentified
So we're obviously...
We got a short time of reprieve right here with President Trump to get right with God and Jehovah and whatever your name for God is.
This is our short time, our reprieve.
jordan holmes
What if my name for God is Allah?
unidentified
What happens when President Trump...
Is gone and out of office.
What goes on from there?
alex jones
Incredibly good question.
God bless you, Eric.
Another incredible caller.
The callers are just the best ever.
dan friesen
So then he says that he's going to answer when he comes back from break, because I think this is strategic on a certain level.
I don't think he wants a direct question except for right up against the break.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
Just in case.
He's been burned already on this episode talking to the liberal.
jordan holmes
He had to say yes to the liberal.
dan friesen
That's no good.
I mean, it was all good and well with the Canadian guy with the duct tape, but, you know, he doesn't want to do that.
No.
I think there's a strategy to the ranting in order to delay this question until you can look at the clock and see, like, okay, there's 40 seconds left till break.
Let him get the question out.
I can come back.
Hey, what do we do after Trump?
Great, we'll figure it out.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's...
dan friesen
He doesn't really answer it in any meaningful way.
jordan holmes
His heart's not into it.
No.
That's a bad job on a movie set.
The director would be like, okay, do more or less because you suck at this co-character right now.
dan friesen
Yeah.
It's uninspired.
It's transparent and lame.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So he goes to break, and he comes back, and his answer is largely this same sort of mealy-mouthed thing that he's been doing for a while, which is the, like, we put Trump in, we need to focus on what our movement is, not Trump as a person.
It's like, that's all you've been doing for years, is focusing on Trump as a person.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Whatever.
He's trying to pretend that didn't happen.
jordan holmes
No, it didn't.
dan friesen
Everybody has the right to live.
jordan holmes
They're lies.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Whatever.
dan friesen
I'm not going to dance too hard on that one.
It seems like a waste of time.
jordan holmes
My high school English teacher called it a life lie.
And he said it was the most dangerous thing to interfere with.
To the point where he said he told his dad off once when he was like 16. And his dad just punched him and kicked him out of the house.
dan friesen
Yikes.
jordan holmes
That's his idea.
dan friesen
It's like interrupting a sleepwalker.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
With a saxophone.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
dan friesen
So, Alex gets another call from a guy.
And we've talked about this a little bit in the past.
Like, you suggested sometimes when people call in and do egregious sales pitches that they're fake calls.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I don't think that that's necessarily what a fake call on Alex's show would look like.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
Because I think the audience is trained up well enough to know that this is...
jordan holmes
You plug the products, you get to talk.
dan friesen
This is a good way we scratch each other's backs, that sort of thing.
It's sort of a formality with callers on his show.
So that never really sets off red flags for me.
This call, I'm not saying that I think that this is fake.
It very well could be real.
It could be someone coming up with a fun way to talk to Alex.
But I am saying that if there is a fake kind of call on Alex's show, like a plant, it would be like this.
unidentified
First reason I wanted to call is to let the callers know that Infowars is totally on in their intel.
I just recently got out of the military, was part of the special operations community, and we were getting ready to invade North Korea, and you were right on with your timelines.
I was listening to you the entire time, and I was just blown away.
I don't know where you were getting your intel from, but when I was listening to you, it was like I was hearing other information, privileged information, that I thought was totally top secret, but somehow you got it out.
Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me if all these different international entities are listening to you constantly for what's going on in the world.
dan friesen
That is worth far more than any money to Alex.
Because you have the appearance of somebody who has high-level clearances saying that all of Alex's information is exactly the sort of thing you hear.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I can definitely see that.
dan friesen
But I could also see that not being a setup and it being a caller who has listened to too much Alex and misinterpreted things they experienced in the service.
Or it could be someone just making shit up.
I don't buy it.
Of course not.
But there's a number of possibilities.
If I were to bet on something being what Alex would want to create, that would be it.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Because it creates the credibility and the high-level, like, heads of state listen to my show image that Alex is desperate to cultivate, but is complete bullshit.
jordan holmes
And now is a good time for it.
dan friesen
Why would Putin be listening to him karaoke?
jordan holmes
Why wouldn't Putin be listening to him karaoke?
dan friesen
That's a good point.
No world leader has time for this.
jordan holmes
He doesn't have any guests that are, like, former special ops.
Or he can credibly...
Okay, let me start that over.
At this point in time, he can't get any guests who could credibly say that they're special ops, right?
dan friesen
Not active.
I think Matt Bracken, I don't know what he was in, but I believe he wasn't listed.
He was in the service.
jordan holmes
He was enlisted, but he wasn't in...
dan friesen
I don't know what rank he was or what branch of anything, but if he wasn't in the service, everything about his character implies this is a military man.
Yeah, okay.
jordan holmes
Which makes me suspect he's not.
dan friesen
Yeah, I don't know.
I'm going over the roster in my head, and I don't think so.
No, I don't believe so.
jordan holmes
And you can only be told that you are listened to by the leaders of the world, by Steve Pachanek, so many times before you start thinking, Steve!
You're lying to me, you dumb asshole.
dan friesen
Because it comes packaged with so many other bullshit pieces of information.
jordan holmes
So you get a caller, there's no baggage, he's spec ops, holy shit, we were going to invade North Korea, a thing that many special ops people would absolutely say upon leaving the military.
You know how they do.
dan friesen
To be clear, I'm not saying that was a fake call or anything, but that genre is what Alex would create, I believe, based on his personality and based on the needs of the show.
Because what that does, that establishes this high-level credibility with the people who are listening, who are already on the hook, or maybe people who are almost on the hook.
It gets them deeper into it.
Like, oh, this guy is saying that Alex's shit is credible.
I don't know.
I'm not in special ops, but this guy is.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
It serves his purposes really, really well.
So anyway, that's a pretty good call for Alex.
Put that one in the win column.
jordan holmes
That one's good.
dan friesen
Yep.
So Alex still has not gotten to the news.
alex jones
I promised to really try to give you my view on the situation with the embassy being attacked.
It's such a big deal, in my view.
And on the gun grabbing, and on the season of false flags, and how I know they're going to hit us, because they've already hit us that way, and they're now pheromoning out the message.
So, here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to take calls at the bottom of the hour, then I'm going to stop there.
The number to join us is 877-789-2539.
877-789-2539.
We've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 callers on the line.
I'm going to try to get to at least all of those.
If more are on the line, I will take those when I'm done covering those topics here in the fourth hour.
Again, thank you all for joining us.
Please don't forget that the biggest sales of our history are going on right now, and when these are over, we'll never have them this big again.
dan friesen
So, you know, lazy ad pivot.
He's in the fourth hour.
Alex is hosting the fourth hour himself.
And he's in the fourth hour here now, and what he's doing is saying, halfway through the fourth hour, I'll get to the news, but in this half hour, I'm going to take ten calls.
unidentified
Yep.
jordan holmes
Half hour.
dan friesen
None of this is going to happen.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
You know that none of this is going to happen.
jordan holmes
Discipline show, ten calls, half hour, bang them out.
Their questions can't be that complicated.
dan friesen
No, no.
And you might have noticed that there's a bit of a jump there, like at the end of the second hour, and then now we're already in the fourth hour, and that's because the third hour is a disaster.
unidentified
Is it?
dan friesen
There's a long diatribe about the Las Vegas shooting.
But it's already the stuff that we've already talked about.
His weird conspiracy about...
jordan holmes
Any good tracks?
dan friesen
Not really.
However, in the fourth hour...
unidentified
Listen to the songs of the Satanists.
alex jones
Well, guess what?
The sun sets me free.
I'm not a sun worshiper, but I sure see God's handiwork in that big old ball of fire.
It gives us life on this planet.
jordan holmes
I thought the devil was the light bringer.
alex jones
The dark doesn't scare me.
And the sun, it does set me free.
Because Lucifer, the morning star.
He's not.
A lot of those guys get ordered to do all that Satanism crap, try to make money, then later they go back to God.
Most people at Metallica are Christians, Dave Mustaine's a Christian, and Megadeth.
Almost all those guys are scared to death of Satanism because they've been around it and they've seen it.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Also, they're the lamest living rock stars we have.
I don't know if you've noticed that, too.
dan friesen
Also, good luck getting through those ten calls.
Not gonna happen.
Very disciplined show, though.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Very disciplined.
Talking about how he loves the sun.
jordan holmes
Ten minutes.
Ten callers, half hour.
We got a little bit of the music out of the way.
So that gives us, what?
26 more minutes.
We can still bang it out.
Let's do it.
dan friesen
No, he's got commercials.
jordan holmes
Two points.
Okay, so fine.
That gives us, what?
18 minutes?
Come on.
Bang it out.
1.8 minutes per call.
dan friesen
So Alex goes to the calls.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
He rolls the dice.
It comes up snake eyes.
Because he gets another critical caller.
unidentified
Yeah, hey man, I've been listening to you for quite some time, and it's a remarkable day when you and John Bolton are on the same page with regard to what's going on in Iraq.
jordan holmes
Oh, shit!
unidentified
And, you know, it's like, I mean, Alex, what does Trump have to do to get you to, you know, maybe get indignant, mad at him?
I mean, this is the same playbook that's been going on for a long time.
He's been amassing troops in that region.
For this entire year, now they're hitting critical mass.
They're looking for an excuse to go in and hit Iran.
Kushner is their link to Israel.
I mean, come on, man.
What's it going to take?
alex jones
So it's okay for Iran to overrun and attack our embassy.
unidentified
Oh, go ahead and repeat mainstream media talking points.
You're doing exactly what...
alex jones
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Are you...
Okay, so you're saying that's fake video?
CG?
Deep fake?
dan friesen
See how Alex pivots there?
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
jordan holmes
Not gonna deal with Bolton.
Gonna talk about whether or not you're faking the fucking call or whatever.
dan friesen
No, no, not faking the call.
jordan holmes
The video.
dan friesen
Yeah, he's changed it to now what he's presenting to this guy's critique to being as like, that was a fake video at the embassy.
That's so sneaky and so lame.
The caller doesn't really fall for it, but he can't really make much headway with Alex because Alex isn't willing to engage with the actual things that are being brought up.
So he rambles a bit.
And then he says this.
He's trying to explain that he's not for offensive wars.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But then kind of makes a justification for attacking Iran.
jordan holmes
Okay, well, yeah.
But that's different.
alex jones
I keep holding over callers.
Come back and tell me, Jeremy, how you think I'm echoing what...
jordan holmes
Oh, no, this is devil music.
alex jones
Because, listen, I'm against starting offensive wars, but...
Iran is its own kettle of fish, and it's running around like it's the boss of the Middle East, okay?
dan friesen
So you're not for offensive wars, but you think it's appropriate to start a war because Iran is running around acting like the boss of the Middle East.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
These are incongruous positions to have.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's not an offensive war if somebody looks like a bully and you don't understand what or why they're doing, and then you just punch them.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
That's not offensive.
dan friesen
Right.
I do think that Alex's position makes no sense.
jordan holmes
Yes, I agree.
dan friesen
Okay.
I'm glad that we're on the same page.
unidentified
Let's listen to some more John Bottom, Tasty Licks.
dan friesen
So, Alex wants this Jeremy, this caller who's brought up that he sounds a lot like John Bolton, to hang on.
I'll let you rebut.
jordan holmes
I've got to quickly remove a computer chip from this homeless guy, though.
I will get right back to you.
It turns out he's been in the office for the past three weeks.
dan friesen
Alex does have him on hold for a little bit because he's got to ramble about how this is not the beginning of the decade.
alex jones
I'll try to go live some tonight at Infowars.com with a live feed and ring in the new year with everybody because it is a big deal, 2020.
It's not the end of the decade.
It's the last year of the decade starting.
It's this war on knowledge, the war on calendars.
It's an obsession.
jordan holmes
The war on calendars!
alex jones
The Illuminati Jacobins.
dan friesen
The Illuminati Jacobins want you to think that it's the beginning of the decade.
jordan holmes
They have been waging a war on calendars since Gregory.
dan friesen
That is such a crucial plank in their attack, is making people say it's a decade.
jordan holmes
It was the Knights Templar who first weaponized the calendar, Dan.
dan friesen
If these are your enemies...
jordan holmes
Tricking the fools into believing that it was...
dan friesen
If these are your enemies, people who want you to think that a decade starts a year earlier than it does, what are you doing?
jordan holmes
Fighting against Hallmark cards next.
dan friesen
So petty.
So I don't know why he gets down this road necessarily, but Alex decides that he's going to address the atheists out there.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's nice of him.
dan friesen
And I should say that Alex is clear.
He doesn't hate the atheists.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
However, there's a problem.
alex jones
We're literally fighting devil worshippers.
And I want to explain that to atheists out there.
If you're really an atheist because you don't believe in invisible things and you really don't like big fake churches.
jordan holmes
I have other reasons.
alex jones
I get you 100% and I don't dislike you.
I don't think you're a bad person.
I totally understand.
Okay?
unidentified
I think you're a bad person.
alex jones
But you know the people up above you that teach it are devil worshippers.
You understand they drink blood, right?
jordan holmes
Frank seems nice.
unidentified
I mean, I've seen it with my own two eyes, okay?
alex jones
When I was 12, 13, 14, 15 years old.
Okay?
And it was so freaky that I wouldn't even tell my parents about it.
And I would just try to get away from it.
And it's like at the end of The Lost Boys.
They're just like, the grandpa shows up and it's like, man, I tell you, this town's always had too many vampires in it.
And they're not physically living forever, but it's vampires.
Okay?
dan friesen
Okay.
I think you just watched The Lost Boys.
jordan holmes
I think you just watched The Lost Boys.
dan friesen
Hey, hey, atheists, look, if you're turned off by churches and all that, I get it.
I don't think you're a bad person, but you should know that all of your atheist gurus are vampires.
jordan holmes
That really bums me out to know, but I'm glad that you broke the news to me, Dan.
dan friesen
What the fuck?
I just don't even care.
jordan holmes
You didn't have to research any part of that?
dan friesen
I did look into Dawkins.
No evidence.
Are you sure he doesn't drink blood?
Sam Harris, I'm not positive.
I support him, but he's not a vampire from what I can tell.
Okay.
jordan holmes
I do believe that Christopher Hitchens was a vampire, though.
I will give him that.
I will give him that.
dan friesen
This is the point where I get frustrated.
And maybe it's just because there's too much of elation in his singing over these songs.
jordan holmes
It really is a letdown.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's kind of like...
God, we're getting back to the everyone's a vampire thing.
Oh, God.
jordan holmes
Why haven't we heard the highwayman yet?
dan friesen
Sure.
Oh, that is a great question.
jordan holmes
Why haven't we heard the highwayman?
dan friesen
I hate to ruin it, because I don't want to tease people.
It does not.
jordan holmes
It doesn't come up?
unidentified
No, no highwayman.
jordan holmes
Oh, man, that's crazy to me.
dan friesen
Even stranger, no high women.
But I thought Alex would love that.
So, Alex gets back to this caller who said that he sounds like Bolton.
Sure.
He rambles quite a bit about the situation in the Middle East.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
How what Trump is doing is just trying to stop a big war.
jordan holmes
So many.
dan friesen
Right?
So he might attack Iran in order to stop a big war or something.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Not entirely sure.
And then this caller gives a nice put down at Alex.
He really slams him.
alex jones
Trump is legitimately trying to stop a giant war, in my view, while trying to deal with the chi-coms that are the real threat, and the globalists are trying to stir things up in the Middle East to embarrass Trump.
Now, that's my educated view on this.
That's me as a pragmatist, not just supporting the president.
I see what he's up against.
What do you think?
unidentified
I don't know.
I think the word picture you just drew is great.
It sounds great.
The problem is, though, is that that isn't the...
That doesn't appear to be the case.
It appears that we're actually being, you know, led to be the fool.
Once again, we're going to be sold a bill of goods.
We're now, we're airstriking in Iraq because of a contractor, essentially a hired merc, a Blackwater guy, somebody that you actually would have said back before your relationship with Eric Prince, that you would have said, hey, these guys are...
alex jones
I don't have a relationship with Eric Prince.
Eric Prince has Frontier Services and works with the Chi-Coms.
I know he helped expose some of the pedophile rings, and I only gave credit to where some of that information came from.
unidentified
Well, okay, you've made it sound like there's a little bit more than that.
alex jones
No, no.
Well, you just misunderstood.
dan friesen
If he misunderstood, it was an intentional misunderstanding that Alex presented.
He has implied contact with Eric Prince in the past.
He's spoken really highly of him, especially during the early Trump years.
He talks about how he has ex-Blackwater guards security and stuff like that.
The change, whether or not you want to try and make an argument that Alex actually has presented that he is friends with Eric Prince or not.
Leave that aside.
jordan holmes
I don't care either way.
dan friesen
Leave that aside.
Comparing Alex's prior position about Blackwater and the mercenaries and stuff to where he is now on a lot of those issues.
Just that alone is plenty to make whatever this caller is accusing Alex of very valid.
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
Alex has taken a very different position on a lot of this stuff than he would have ten years ago.
jordan holmes
Last decade.
Eric Prince is a...
I don't care.
Eric Prince is a fucking stone you wear around your neck forever.
There's no repentance coming from...
I only liked Eric Prince for a while.
It's still a go fuck yourself to me.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
You know?
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
So this call ends after Alex rambles about how he wasn't friends with Eric Prince.
And then he claims that he has a tooth that got broken the night before.
And so he's bleeding in his mouth.
Really?
Seems like a distraction tactic.
jordan holmes
That is my grandma died for the fourth time this month of bullshit.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, Alex still has calls to get through, still hasn't really gotten to the news, although I guess he was yelling at this guy about the situation in Iraq.
jordan holmes
Solved the topic.
Covered it.
dan friesen
I guess.
jordan holmes
Moving on.
dan friesen
But Alex really meant to lead the show with some big news, which is convenient.
jordan holmes
We're in the fourth hour.
dan friesen
Halfway through it, no less.
Man, shame he didn't lead the show with this news.
alex jones
I was already going to basically start the broadcast with this today.
And then we had the embassy attack by the Hezbollah Iranian-backed militia and that whole crisis blowing up.
And it's that the left is planning to try to trigger a civil war here and call the United Nations into the country.
dan friesen
Oh, really?
That's the big news?
jordan holmes
That was the big news.
dan friesen
Wow.
jordan holmes
That was the big news.
dan friesen
Wow.
jordan holmes
Man, if only...
dan friesen
We're in a holding pattern here, a time slip.
We have accidentally teleported to any day on Alex's show.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but this one was the big one.
This was the big one.
And it happened actually three and a half hours ago.
It's unfortunate, but he got to it a little late.
It's a bummer.
dan friesen
So it turns out that Tom Pappert has come up with some news that proves that the UN is going to be getting involved.
And just to give you a rough sketch of what this is.
Tom Pappert has found a job posting on the UN website that involves disarmament.
Someone who has expertise in disarmament.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
There's no implication that it's for...
Being stationed in the United States.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But they've decided that it is.
And these people are going to be used to disarm the United States population.
jordan holmes
Okay, so he's thinking that when they're looking for a disarmament expert, they're not looking for an academic...
dan friesen
And maybe not even an expert.
Someone with some familiarity.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
You know, in the same way that if you have a job posting for an accounting job, maybe...
jordan holmes
Some years of experience in accounting.
dan friesen
You don't need a doctorate in Excel.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
But he thinks that this person will be an expert in physically removing guns from people's hands.
dan friesen
That type of disarmament.
That seems to be the implication.
jordan holmes
Not drawing down nuclear weapons overall.
dan friesen
And further, it involves using these things on the United States.
jordan holmes
Well, of course.
dan friesen
So there's a lot of assumptions being made.
But it's just like Tom Pappert to crack the big news.
So now that this news, which Alex was going to lead the show with but didn't...
And didn't even bring up until the fourth hour.
jordan holmes
It's surprising how that worked.
dan friesen
He now has decided...
jordan holmes
Especially with how disciplined he was going to be at the very beginning.
dan friesen
The most disciplined broadcast ever.
Alex has decided, because of this news, he is now going to join Owen Troyer on The War Room and keep this show a-rolling.
jordan holmes
No!
Why?
He doesn't even want to be there for the time that he's there!
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
This man's insane.
dan friesen
Yeah.
But in order to make that War Room show as good as it can possibly be, he realizes that he's going to need to get Tom Papert.
To be on the show, and why not call him on air?
alex jones
So, in the 4 o 'clock hour, I'm going to be over there with Owen, breaking all this down.
He'll have the first hour.
I want to call Tom Papert.
Hell, I'll just call myself right now while I'm on air.
That will get him set up that way.
Boom.
Make sure he's on.
dan friesen
Boom.
alex jones
Go ahead and call him.
This is so massive that we knew this was coming.
dan friesen
That whistling is an attack.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
That is beyond parody.
No.
No, that's...
dan friesen
I'm just going to call this dum-dum I hired.
Let's talk about the UN takeover.
So casual.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's right.
Tom, you're coming on to talk about the coming end of civilization.
How you doing?
dan friesen
So Alex does call Tom.
jordan holmes
Of course he does.
alex jones
Hey, Tom, I got you live on air.
I wanted to make sure this happened.
Owen Schroyer's live with the War Room coming up.
I want to co-host, because I was already going to make this my main show today, the UN Chi-Con takeover, and then I got diverted off into this embassy situation.
jordan holmes
And singing.
alex jones
And singing.
I'll keep the promise.
Can you come on with Owen in about 30 minutes?
And then I'm going to come on right after that.
unidentified
Absolutely, Alex.
dan friesen
We'll be there.
alex jones
All right.
Just tell listeners real quick a little bit about this massive story.
This is from the U.N. This isn't a theory.
It's not something we're just saying.
This is openly the U.N. recruiting troops for America.
They're now having events in places like Utah, kicking citizens off the streets, saying, we own and control this now.
We are sovereign.
I mean, this is what they do all over the world.
They've joined with the CHICOMs and the Internet takeover.
It's just incredible.
dan friesen
They found a job posting.
Anyway, I don't care.
Tom Pepper's real...
His voice is terrible.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's not good.
dan friesen
Not gonna really listen to that.
And instead...
jordan holmes
What was he up to?
dan friesen
What do you mean?
jordan holmes
What was Tom Pepper doing?
dan friesen
Probably fucking in-depth research.
unidentified
I would assume.
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
I would be interested to know what kind of...
What was he doing?
And what kind of demands does working for Alex have that you might just get a call and be on air?
dan friesen
I mean...
jordan holmes
You know?
dan friesen
It's probably just brainstorming dumb shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it has to be.
dan friesen
Cruising the UN job postings.
Ridiculous.
What can I make out of this?
Anyway, Alex realizes that he has about 10 minutes left of the show.
jordan holmes
Of course he does.
dan friesen
And so, of course, here come the excuses.
alex jones
Okay, look, I tried to get to everybody.
I didn't even get to all this news.
We took so many calls.
But let's just try to jam a few of these in, but everybody's just got 30 seconds, 40 seconds or so.
dan friesen
This is exactly what I knew was...
Lightning round.
jordan holmes
That's what he wanted the whole time.
dan friesen
100% is exactly the clip I knew would end up happening at the end of the episode when he said at the beginning of the episode, I'm super prepared to get into these stories, but I need to get through these calls.
Of course you're going to get to the end of the show and be like, I didn't get to the news because we just had all these calls.
It's a formula.
jordan holmes
I swear to God.
If you told me that clip was from any of our previous episodes, I would believe you.
dan friesen
Well, he does say stuff like that a lot.
jordan holmes
No, that has no time stamp on it.
That is evergreen.
dan friesen
So he lightning rounds it and tries to go to a couple more calls just to bump that number up a little or whatever.
I guess maybe there's some stats being kept at the office now.
jordan holmes
They're using the police stats.
dan friesen
So he does that, and this is how the show ends.
This is the last bit.
Of InfoWars, Alex Jones show for 2019.
Last of the decade.
Come at me, Alex.
jordan holmes
Come on, some sax.
Give me some saxophone.
dan friesen
You'll be very disappointed.
jordan holmes
Damn it.
alex jones
Let's transfer those calls over to the other studio.
Wild, stay there.
I want to hear your view on the rabbit hole.
All these callers have been amazing.
We must get to every caller.
Andre, Wild, Derek.
InfoWars.com forward slash show.
Everybody watching and listening.
Tell everyone you know, tune in now.
That's how we create a chain reaction.
God bless you all.
unidentified
Message and data rates may apply.
Help!
Seriously!
jordan holmes
I'm too young for hair loss!
dan friesen
There isn't any music.
There is no fanfare.
Nothing.
It is just Alex yelling at the board ops to transfer the calls over to the war room so Owen Schroyer can answer these calls that he didn't get to during his show because he was trying to put off covering any news.
This show, like the end of 2019, this December 31st show is almost a perfect encapsulation of how...
How unprofessional, undisciplined an operation this is in the present day.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's really disappointing.
There should have been a lot more pageantry.
dan friesen
No, but I'll tell you, it's exactly what it should be.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's fair.
dan friesen
If you were trying to get a spiritual sketch of what Alex Jones' show is, the only thing that's missing really is more racism and probably some violent callers.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
I don't know how he managed to take as many callers as he did, probably like seven or eight, without anybody being like, who are we shooting?
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, right.
dan friesen
I'll applaud that.
Maybe they started screening?
unidentified
Maybe?
jordan holmes
Hey, we're going to put you in the call waiting list for Alex, but just real quick, are you going to ask him about killing people?
dan friesen
The sense I get is that, like, there is, you know, you have a broader sample of calls.
And there is at least a certain amount of the people who are inclined to call into his show that are like, you're full of shit.
You are full of shit.
This is nonsense.
Trump is not good.
And I think that's an interesting development.
And into 2020, I wonder what that'll do.
But, you know, like, this guy, Alex, is trash at his job.
This is so bad.
It's funny on one level to hear him sing with these songs that just need these pump-up jams to get him going.
And a couple of them, like You Belong to the City, straight up rock.
jordan holmes
Legit jams.
dan friesen
So that's pleasant on some level, but you just see it's so transparent.
It's woefully transparent.
This guy just being completely...
Unable to cover these stories.
I have no idea where to land on any of this.
I haven't read anything.
So what I'm going to do is put it off and pretend that I'm not putting it off.
We're going to get to the end of the show.
Ah, shit.
What are you going to do?
Then I'm going to go on Owen Troyer's show and do the exact same thing.
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
jordan holmes
It is.
I mean, if there were more malicious shit and weird murder stuff in the third hour, I would say this would be a...
Microcosm of the entirety of Alex's career.
And then at the end, it ends not with a bang, but a whimper.
And a balding commercial.
dan friesen
Yeah, man.
On some level, I agree with you.
You want some fireworks to end the year, but it's almost more fitting.
Absolutely.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it does seem like that's how a show will end as well, of just like, and we are not going to be here tomorrow.
Bye!
dan friesen
It just ends with like a slide whistle.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Just sad.
A real sad saxophone sound.
dan friesen
We couldn't afford...
Happy New Year to y 'all out there.
I hope you haven't had a good one.
We'll be back in 2020.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
Well, I guess we're already back in 2020, but we'll stay back in 2020.
And we'll see you.
But until then...
We have a website.
jordan holmes
We do have a website.
It's knowledgefight.com.
dan friesen
I bet it is.
We're also on Facebook.
jordan holmes
We are on Twitter.
It's at knowledge underscore fight and at GoToBetJordan.
dan friesen
Earlier I said we were on Facebook.
jordan holmes
We are on Facebook.
There you can find such crucial information such as it is not the beginning of a new decade.
dan friesen
Debatable.
jordan holmes
And our podcast can be downloaded on iTunes, other podcastual apps, etc.
Download, leave, review, donate, have fun.
Happy New Year.
dan friesen
Sure.
We'll be back.
But until then, I'm Neo.
Hello, I'm Leo.
I'm DZXClark.
I am...
I just completely blanked.
I belong to the city.
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
dan friesen
Hello, Alex.
jordan holmes
I'm a first-time caller.
unidentified
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
