Knowledge Fight #396 dissects Alex Jones’ February 2020 broadcasts, where he falsely claimed coronavirus was a U.S.-made bioweapon (citing retracted studies and Dr. Francis Boyle’s recycled conspiracy theories) while promoting unproven silver products and food buckets from Infowars Store, exploiting panic-driven demand. He misrepresented Trump’s State of the Union speech—inserting Star Wars quotes and fabricating emotional moments—then pivoted to authoritarian calls like disbanding the Democratic Party as a "criminal organization," ignoring his own faction’s targeting of disloyal Republicans. Jones’ villainous character impressions (Cobra, Darth Vader) and QAnon-esque fantasies about Trump "releasing the Kraken" against enemies reveal a pattern of weaponizing misinformation for profit and influence, with hosts warning listeners to scrutinize his claims at knowledgefight.com.

dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Hey everybody, welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I'm Dan.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I'm Jordan.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		We're a couple dudes.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Like, sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Indeed, we are damn Jordan.
unidentified		Damn!
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Jordan.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I have never asked you this.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, and I am very, I'm very curious.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Oh, good.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Have you ever watched a foreign language film?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, of course.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		What is it?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Oh, that's a second question.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I will never try.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		All right, all right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Oh, a ton.
		I've seen a ton of foreign language movies.
		Chacolotte.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Is that any foreign language?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		The title is.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I don't think so.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		The title isn't.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		No, that one probably is.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That one probably is for sure.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
		I mean, easy answer.
		Omeli.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I guess Omeli comes.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Of an age.
		That's fair.
		Omelie.
		That's fair.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I mean, just like when's the last one?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Because I know you're.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I haven't seen a lot of movies.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you're not a big movie guy in a long time.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		So I was just wondering in an adult format, I guess.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
		When I lived in Columbia, there was a place called Ragtag.
		That was like the sort of indie film house in town.
		That was where all the sort of smaller run movies would go.
unidentified		Right, right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Independent films.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Danny does Dallas.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Sure, sure.
unidentified		Yeah, the whole thing.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		After hours.
		Ragtag hot.
		It's a fun place.
		They would run a lot of foreign movies, and I would end up seeing a lot.
		It's really tough for me to bring any to mind right now.
		Coming up with names is difficult, but I've seen a ton of them there.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Right, okay, that makes sense.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Because I was figuring if you worked at a small-town movie theater, it's not like they're playing.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Well, they had Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
		Oh, that's a great movie, that's a good idea.
		So that was that played at our theater for sure.
unidentified		That's cool.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Amelie didn't play at the theater I worked at, but it was gigantic when I was of just the right age.
		Yeah.
		I don't remember how old I was when it came out, but I was maybe emotionally 16.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		No, no, no.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I remember.
unidentified		I remember.
unidentified		I think I was in love with Audrey Tateau.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I'm an adult.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I'm like, fuck you, Amelie.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Well, maybe you got the sort of quirky endearingness of that movie along with, you know, I studied French in high school, and so I felt like a particular kinship with Le Monde Francophone.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So, yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, that's cool.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's the one that sticks out.
		Is there?
		Nah, I don't have a better answer.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		All right.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Well, that works for me.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I've seen a lot.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		What about some Fellini?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Go back that far?
unidentified		All right.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		You a big Bergman fan?
		Igmar?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You talk about the Waketan movie?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's my.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Birdman?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, or a series of unfortunate events or whatever.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Luminous snicket.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		My mom loved that movie.
		I think.
		She loved the books.
		I don't know.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Whatever.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Anyway, this is a podcast where I know a lot about foreign language movies, though not specific to them.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And I know a lot about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Okay, well, this is the first time I know more about the former and still know less about the latter.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Jordan, today we are coming at the folks with a half surprise Friday episode for them because, you know, I feel a commitment to put out two episodes a week.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And I don't feel like our Wednesday episode was a full episode.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Of course not.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Granted, it was over an hour long, but it didn't feel like a full episode.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So we must write that wrong.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		We got to hit 210 or what are we even doing?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		210 or bus.
		Yeah, exactly.
		So the problem was that in the present day, Alex has been out of studio, and I don't know why.
		Well, we'll learn on this episode.
unidentified		Sure, sure.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I didn't know why.
		And, you know, like all this big stuff is happening in the world.
		Like, Trump has voted for the acquittal in the impeachment trial.
		The State of the Union happens.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Iowa.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Iowa caucus.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Iowa.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So all this is going on.
		It's like, where's Alex?
		Owen Schroer's just hosting.
		It's an absurdist nightmare.
		And so finally, on Thursday, February 6th, Alex comes back to studio.
		And, you know, I mean, I hate to call it a breath of fresh air because it still sucks, but compared to it.
unidentified		At least it's not coronavirus.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		We'll see a little bit about that.
		All right.
		Of course, there's going to be some coronavirus talk.
		So we'll deal with a little bit of that.
		And on a certain level, I apologize to the audience about like, you know, that it keeps coming up.
		But I do feel like we're in the middle of Alex doing a large-scale pageant, like a conspiracy pageant surrounding the coronavirus narratives and all of that.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And tracking it in real time, I think there is a utility to it, even if it does at some points feel a little bit like, ugh, this again.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Trust me, whatever is being on the podcast, our show, is one-tenth of the exhaustion that you would feel if you listened to his show, the whole thing.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's like a crops dog show, you know?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I think it's disgusting and I don't like it, but you got to keep an eye on it just to see what's going on.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Fair enough.
		So we're going to be covering February 6th, 2020.
		I'm Dan.
		This is 2020.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		God damn it.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And a little bit of February 5th, because Alex did an intro to that episode.
		And so we'll talk about that a tiny bit.
		And then February 6th, 2020.
		But before we get down to business, Jordan, we're going to take a moment to say thank you to some folks who have signed up and are supporting the show.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That's a good idea.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So first, Kevin, thank you so much.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Thank you very much, Kevin.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Indie film director Kevin Smith.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Ah, I don't think so.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Nope.
		Next, Adam.
		Thank you so much.
		You are an Ao Policy Wonk.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Thank you very much, Adam.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Indie film star, Adam Scott.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Thank you so much.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I was going to go with Star of Marriage Story, Adam Driver.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Oh, could be.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Kylo Wren.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Next, Anastasia.
		Thank you so much.
		You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Thank you very much, Anastasia.

dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Next, Austin.
		Thank you so much.
		You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		I'm a policy wonk.
unidentified		Thank you very much, Occupied Austin.

		Thank you so much.
		You're now a policy wonk.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Thank you very much.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Star of the TV show.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I was going to go with Angela Kinsey.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, okay.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I'll take that one.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Indie TV show, The Office.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I got you.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you prefer white actors.
unidentified		That's fine.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Next, Karine.
		Thank you so much.
		You're now a policy wonk.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Thank you very much, Karim.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Is it Kareem?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Kareem.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's Karine.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Corinne.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		C-O-R-I-N-N-E.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		K-O-R-I-N.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		K-O-R-R-I-N-E.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I got nothing for that one.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		Finally, I'd like to say thank you to a couple people who have donated on an elevated level.
		We appreciate that very much.
		So first, Imani, thank you so much.
		You are now a technocrat.
		And I remember this name, Boingo Boingo Whoopsie Knickers.
		Thank you so much.
		You are now a technocrat.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		I'm a policy wonk.
		Crikey, Mike, that's fantastic.
		Have yourself a brew.
		How's your 401k doing, bro?
		We got to go full-tailed buggy on this, Watson, all right?
		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 info war on you.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Thank you so much, Amani, and thank you so much.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Boingo boingo whoopsie knickers.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yes, thank you.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I see that name.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I imagine it's a reference to something that I'm completely unaware of, but I can't stop thinking of it just being like someone who's jumping and then they accidentally poo in their pants.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that sounds right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that sounds right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		That's the image that comes to my mind.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Right, right, right.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I get oingo boingo and also them shitting their pants.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		There's that indie band.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Oingo boingo.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Starring Igmar Bergman.
unidentified		Sure.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So, Jordan, like I said, we're starting out today on February 5th, and it's just a little piece that Alex is recording, and then Owen's going to take over the show and host the rest of it.
		So this is the beginning.
		There's a lot going on.
		Even on the 5th, there's a lot that's happened that Alex should be leading the show with.
		But of course, he doesn't.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Look at this Newsweek article that right now is the top story on Google and on Apple News.
		This is what the establishment has decided to run today with all the huge news, the state of the union, the out-of-control coronavirus that now evidence is mounting is a man-made biological weapon.
		Nope.
		Despite all of that, Alex Jones' Infowars YouTube videos uploaded by proxy accounts attracted hundreds of thousands of views despite ban.
		So they're doing this to act like I'm totally banned everywhere and to create the illusion that anything I say can't be seen anywhere.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Such an interesting tactic that he's deploying of this, like, they are making it the number one story, which is just sort of a way of covering that he wants to make talking about himself the number one story.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It should not surprise me to know that with all his well, look at all this big news around.
		I am going to talk about me.
		That makes perfect sense.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Because I have to, because they've made it the number one story.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's them.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		It's them.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's not my fault.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Such a weird way to deflect just the abdication of responsibility.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I don't mean to brag, but Newsweek has published millions of stories about me.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It is narcissistic, too.
		You are correct.
		So interestingly, in this like sort of complaining about everybody writing all these major stories about him that are inaccurate.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Tons.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think he references Wolfgang Halbig's arrest for the first time I've heard him.
		It's not direct.
		He doesn't talk about it.
		He doesn't get into it.
		This is the only sort of oblique reference that I've heard to it so far.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		You'll see these headlines every few days that are pushed on the ticker on Fox News on CNN.
		It'll be some outrageous lie.
		Alex Jones, employee arrested for stalking families.
		Never been an employee.
		Have nothing to do with them.
		Doesn't matter.
		They run that ticker and they talk about it.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So that's obviously about Wolfgang Joe.
		People aren't saying that he was an Infowars employee.
		He was an Infowars contributor and an associate, for sure.
		Those are fair descriptions to make.
		But yeah, it's just so weak.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Such a weak thing to do to not even cover the story.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Why would you even bring it up if you're committed to not talking about it at all?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Because he has to create a straw man of it because it's a big enough story that people might hear about it.
unidentified		Right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So you create the straw man of their saying that he's an employee.
		He's not an employee.
		That way you could sort of argue against the story without dealing with the merits of it.
		And being like, I did elevate this guy, and he did send out a Sandy Hook parent's social security number to a bunch of people.
		So like, I don't know.
		It's just, it's just weak.
		It's a lack of personal responsibility.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's a guy being a dick.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So we have one more clip, I believe, yes, here from February 5th.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And it's Alex talking about an interview that Owen's going to do later, which I want to talk about, but I also don't want to talk about the interview because Owen's doing it.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Coming up in the second hour today, Dr. Francis Boyle, the author of the U.S. Biological Weapons Convention, will be joining Owen Schroer live to break down the fact that there's massive evidence and he says the UN knows, the WHO knows, that this is a man-made bioweapon.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So that's interesting.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Owen's interviewing this guy.
		So like I said, I have no real interest in the interview itself.
		Sure.
		Which is a shame because the way Alex is promoting this interview and setting it up, it sounds like a really serious, legitimate guest putting out the message that the coronavirus is a bioweapon and the World Health Organization knows about it and they're covering it up.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's happening.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So this guest is a man named Francis Boyle.
		And on paper, if you just read his bio, you would get the impression that he is someone whose opinion you really need to take seriously.
		He is a professor of international law at the University of Illinois and has a resume full of things like being on the board of Amnesty International and various intersections with the U.S. government.
		For instance, he did draft legislation that would become the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, which was signed into law by George H.W. Bush.
		Though he did work on this draft, it was really just the U.S. version of the pre-existing UN Biological Weapons Convention of 1975.
		So it's not like he created rules about biological weapons out of thin air.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		He just did a find and replace.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I mean, that would probably be insulting because I'm sure there were some things to flesh out.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Of course.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But at the same time, yes, there was a pre-existing framework that just needed to be put onto a U.S. level as opposed to the international.
		So I can find no evidence that he had anything to do with the drafting of the UN Convention.
		And that also seems unlikely, seeing as Boyle would have been 22 when it was drafted, and he would have still been in college.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Precocious.
		Precocious.
		That's like college students.
		That's like, look, whenever Steve Pieczenik was in college, he had already assassinated somebody, I imagine.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Killed Aldo Moro while he was still in grade school.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		When he was in diapers, he's been killing people across the world.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
		So despite his legal interaction with the subject of biological weapons, people like Alex and these folks, they have a little bit of an impulse to ascribe some kind of experience to him in the field of the science of biological agents, which would be a mistake.
		Something that's important to consider when you have someone with what appears to be a legitimate list of credentials making outrageous arguments on Alex's show is their history.
		And Francis Boyle has a bit of a history, which you might call a pattern, of calling literally everything a bioweapon work.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Okay, all right, all right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		In 2014, Francis Boyle made the rounds alleging that the Ebola outbreak in Zaire, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea came from a U.S. bioweapons release, either due to testing gone wrong or a containment breach.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		And I assume he was proven correct.
unidentified		No.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		In all the articles I can find about this, I don't see him providing any evidence of this outside of vague insinuations and his own suggestions.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Interestingly, what you can find, though, is how his theories were used by the North Korean state media outlets like Pyongyang Daily to attack the United States, which is a really fun byproduct of rhetoric and the work that he puts out.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, sure.
		You put out anti-U.S. propaganda by yourself, and all of a sudden other countries are joining you.
		That is rude.
		That is plagiarism.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Other authoritarian countries around the world.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		This wasn't also his only dip into the pool.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		In January 2016, Francis Boyle appeared on Infowars to tell Alex that the Zika virus was a U.S.-created bioweapon.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yes, but he was right about that, right?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I watched a bit of that interview, and my favorite part is the first words out of Boyle's mouth.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Quote, I have no inside information.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		All right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I heard that, and then I stopped listening.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Ah, come on.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He's pushed similar theories about the swine flu and probably every other public health issue you can think of.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but he was right about those, right?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		This is the kind of role that Francis Boyle plays on Infowars.
		Whenever there's a health-related story, he's the seemingly credible voice Alex can call to say that the outbreak was a planned bioweapon designed to depopulate the world.
		When the outbreak is handled and the public's attention moves on, he disappears from the show.
		So he doesn't have to explain why this attempt at depopulation doesn't work.
		It didn't work.
		And then he pops up whenever the next one comes.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Is he still teaching classes?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I find I have a hard time getting to the bottom of that.
		I'm not entirely sure.
		It's one of those things, like when someone has tenure, it's really tough.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's true.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's really tough to get rid of.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		We're in a Hamdi situation.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		What?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		A Hamde Ulakaya situation.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		What, he has tenure?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no.
		No, he doesn't have tenure.
		He was fired and gotten rid of, but he was there for a long time, right?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think you have the name wrong.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Hamdi Ulaka is the yoga guy.
unidentified		Oh, shit.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Hamdi Ulakai is the yoga guy.
		I'm talking about Dr. Yamamoto.
		Oh, that's who I'm talking about.
		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but Halmamoto did get fired.
unidentified		Yeah, he did, but he had to go for a while.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		That is true.
		So the foundation of his theory seems to be that the U.S. conducting research about things like an Ebola vaccine or a Zika vaccine, that's actually cover for the U.S. conducting research into how to use these things as a weapon.
		Honestly, that kind of thinking is just impossible to contend with because it frames something entirely reasonable, namely researching things that are medically very important, as being proof of international crimes.
		What would someone with this position prefer?
		Would it be better to not research an Ebola vaccine?
		It seems to me that that would be painted as a nefarious conspiracy of negligence, leaving the population as sitting ducks in the off chance that an outbreak did happen.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Sure, sure.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He gets you coming and going with this sort of position.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		And it's a little bit exploitative of the reality that, I mean, the government has done horrible, awful shit, you know?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		And maybe if they hadn't done it, it would be harder to portray them as doing it again.
unidentified		Fair enough.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I will, like, there is a level of reasonable distrust of the government with control over viruses.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		The operative word has to be reasonable.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Reasonable.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Or the healthy distrust must remain healthy.
unidentified		Yes.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		When you're going on Infowars, health is no longer a concern, even if you're a ranger of it.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, if you are somebody who is going on Infowars, you have...
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Reasonable is gone.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Unless if you're this guy and let's say that you are really interested in bio-weapon-related issues and you're going on InfoWars, the first 15 minutes of your interview should be like, all right, Alex, we need to talk about all of these bad positions.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		In order for me to be on your platform, I must.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		We need to reach a definition of terms, Alex.
		Oh, I'm kicked off already?
		Okay, fine.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Oh, wait, phone issues.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Sorry about that.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Bottom line here is that although Boyle has some legitimate sounding aspects to his resume from the 90s, his more recent career has been marked by some pretty incredible claims generally made on outlets like InfoWars.
		I can find literally no reason to take what he's saying seriously.
		From where I'm sitting, he's basically just the member of the Infowars cast that gives the appearance of credibility to outbreak fears that Alex is using to sell his shit when Mike Adams has kind of ruined his effectiveness by being over-eager.
unidentified		It's over for humanity.
unidentified		There will only be lone survivors.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's tough to go from there and retain your credibility.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Do not play that clip and just keep moving like that's fine.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's just, I mean, it's tough.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Once you've shot that shot, where is there left to go?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		I wonder.
		So here's my problem with him.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Boyle or Mike Adams?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Boyle.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Is he grifting?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
		He should be.
		I don't entirely know what his hustle is.
		It would probably take me too long to get to the bottom of him as a side character.
		I'm more interested in his utility as it relates to InfoWars.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		No, absolutely.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I'm just saying if he's Off the farm.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It might just be a situation where he has lost his objectivity.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		See, that's my thing.
		If you're going to be this guy, you might as well be grifting at the same time.
		If you're this guy and you're not getting paid for it, you're crazy.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Sometimes that stuff's pretty tough, though.
		And, like, keeping grifts going is a full-time job.
		And if you're technically a tenured professor, it's hard.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Why Grift?
		Why Grift?
		Yeah, fair enough.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So we get to February 6th now.
		And I was thinking, like, ah, it's probably all just going to be more coronavirus talk.
		This is going to be no good.
		But, Jordan, do you remember how Alex said on a recent episode that he was going to get a homeless person in studio and ship out of his house?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		You shut the fuck up.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He doesn't do that on this show.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Damn you.
unidentified		You son of a bitch.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I just want to remind people that Alex said he was going to do that, and then that completely dropped.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Dan?
		Dan, god damn it.
		You have spent so many years building up my trust in order to drop that hammer.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's unfortunate that, like, it's so easy to forget those things.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And I don't do a good enough job of reminding, like, I should have a ticker going of like days since Alex announced he was going to do surgery in studio.
		He hasn't even talked about the microchipping narrative.
		It's just completely dropped.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That's gone.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's so hard to remember anything.
		Remember when we bombed and assassinated Iran and we're all like, it's going to be World War III.
		And now we're just like, whatever.
		That was two weeks ago.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I guess so.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's fast.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's quick.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Alex is back in studio on the 6th.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Man, welcome back, Alex.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		And we are live, ladies and gentlemen, on this Thursday, February 6th, 2020.
		Transmission.
		And any minute, the President of the United States is going to walk through those doors and he is going to address the people of the United States, people of the world, about the attempted deep state takedown for the third time of President Trump.
		They have failed and failed miserably, but they are only fighting harder now because they're puppets of the globalist.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Puppets.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Puppets of the globalist that are being ordered to do this because it further divides and hurts the nation and it's very small.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		It's productivity.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		That's all this is.
		Globalists had puppet presidents in the last 30 years.
		They don't know what to do now.
		They've got not just a president that's the president, but a president that understands the new world order.
		And at the last minutes of the American century setting, the new American century has begun.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So I heard that, Clip, and it's kind of boilerplay, pretty standard stuff for the most part.
		Alex coming into studio kind of uninspired a little bit, but I wanted to.
		There's some phrasing in there that I think is really interesting.
		I want to talk about it a little bit.
		It's really weird that Alex is using the term New American Century, primarily because that's what the last three letters in the P-NAC document stands for.
		The term New American Century in the world of Infowars is a one-to-one identifier with the Dick Cheney Project for a New American Century document.
		Rebuilding America's Defenses is what the main title was, which Alex constantly uses incorrectly to assert that Cheney wanted to use race-specific bioweapons, and he uses it to prove that Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz did 9-11.
		This is weird and probably means nothing.
		But I think it's worthwhile to discuss this for a moment because there's an important thing buried within this that people might not immediately recognize.
		Alex is obviously not signaling that he's been a neocon all along and that he loves Dick Cheney now.
		He's just a fan of a century of American domination of the world, preferably a new one, something that he would describe as a new American century.
		This is a very sensible way to express this idea.
		And I understand why he would phrase it that way.
		This is the same thing as George H.W. Bush using the words new world order in a speech.
		Up until that point, there had been a world order where the United States and the Soviet Union had been so preoccupied with each other that they'd failed in their opportunity to be leaders in the global order.
		With the ceasing of hostility between the two superpowers and the end of the Cold War, there was a possibility for a world order that was different from the old one, a new world order, if you will.
		People like Alex insist that Bush saying the words new world order is proof that he was signaling to an evil cabal bent on world domination and a world government without understanding how these words actually accurately describe the idea Bush was discussing.
		Alex is currently doing the exact same thing, using an expression that means something very specific in one context, the context of his show, but also accurately describes the thing he's talking about.
		And because I'm not a dum-dum, I understand that.
		And I don't feel compelled to yell about how Alex is secretly working for Paul Wolfowitz and Dick Cheney because he says he wants a new American century.
		Anyway, I bring all this up because it's a teachable moment about how sad the thinking patterns are that underlie so many of the foundations of Alex's conspiracy theories.
		He knows that it doesn't mean anything for Bush to have used the words new world order because he does the exact same thing.
		This is just all bullshit.
unidentified		Yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I think this is a very serious situation that requires uh-oh.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		You busted.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you busted him.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Oh, man.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's been busted.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		That bit has come back from the dead.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It is.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		The zombie bit.
unidentified		Exactly.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I was very startled to see that.
		Yeah.
		So I think that there's something important in pointing out little things like that.
		Like, what is being done is the same behavior.
		And Alex, if you confronted him about it and was like, hey, you said new American century, you know that that's code for the PNAC document in Cheney.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		You know, that's not what I intended.
		You know, that's, I just, it's just a thing.
		I was talking about a new American century.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		That's what I believe in.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He would afford himself that sort of leeway, an excuse that he would never afford anybody else.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Of course not.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's just so, it's just whatever is advantageous and expedient.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You just go ahead and use that.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		The rules are for you, not for me.
unidentified		Right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		So Alex was out of studio.
		And like I said, we get a reason for why he was out of studio.
		Man, it's lackluster.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		The quickening right now is so intense that.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's the quickening?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		I haven't had a vacation in over a year.
		I'm not comfortable.
		Yeah, my wife said, damn it, we're going to have one.
		And so we went ahead and took one, but I was working the whole time.
		And I got on a plane early and came back because wild horses couldn't drag me away.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He just wanted a vacation.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That's not fair.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Fuck you.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I relate to that.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I'm totally.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I'm of the mind that, like, hey, if you want a vacation, you can.
		Go ahead and do it.
		Now, if you're Alex Jones and you're talking about how you have Mike Adams coming on saying it's over for humanity, Trump is in a death battle with the globalists.
		The quickening is upon us.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And you know, like, look, I understand.
		It was a little bit up in the air about when the impeachment vote was going to actually happen.
		So you can't remember.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Maybe we would have witnesses.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Maybe not.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I mean, it looked obvious that the answer was no.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Of course.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But there was a possibility.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You didn't know the exact date in advance.
unidentified		Sure.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Iowa caucus.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Do you know when those are those are pre-planned?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He planned his vacation around like times with, hey, you know, first of all, we have this pageant going on about the coronavirus, and then two really big events are happening.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And fuck it.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Look, I'm out of here.
		I support labor rights, and you should be allowed to.
		There should be a lot of people.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Isn't it labor rights?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, absolutely.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		14 days paid vacation per year.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He owns the company.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Labor rights become murky when the employer is the owner.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It is an issue for me.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But I still think you sure go ahead and take a vacation.
		I just think it says something about you when you are this guy who presents yourself one way and then gigantic news events are happening inside and outside of the world you're sycophantic about.
		And you're just like, fuck it.
		I'm going on vacation.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, in a certain sense, that's also, I think, a very smart move.
		Just because it goes back to the discussion earlier.
		Nobody's going to remember in two weeks.
		Like, it's just how fast shit moves.
		Again, we only started World War III and everybody's like, we've moved on.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		No one's going to remember that Alex was gone that day.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Of course not.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		And this way he doesn't have to say something incredibly stupid.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Like no one remembers that Alex wasn't there the day that the Pope resigned.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, no one's like shit.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		No one remembers.
		There's a guy who cares.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He met Leo Zagami and now they've got a bunch of ideas.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Regardless of when you say that the world is ending and that you need to fight every single moment, you still got to take a vacation.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Sure, sure.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		The world is ending, of course.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Maybe I should take a cue from him.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Say, fuck it, and take a vacation.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Not a bad idea.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Alex gets into talking about some new other coronavirus conspiracies.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And I think that there is a type of thinking that's demonstrated in this clip that is just so bad.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Coronavirus situation and all these top biological weapons experts and top scientists scanning the virus and saying it's man-made.
		We've got to get ahead of this.
		And if you notice the virus numbers, maybe we can punch those back up for a moment while we're waiting for the president.
		The official World Health Organization says 28,000 confirmed when I walked in here a few minutes ago.
		It was 24,000.
unidentified		Okay.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		The internal Chinese numbers that leaked and were actually published in China by the People's Daily said 24,000 dead yesterday.
		So what we think they're doing is just putting the number of dead as the number of infected.
		Think about that.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Alex is suggesting that the number of people infected is actually the dead.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And that's just based on what his feelings.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Well, yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I mean, it feels like that makes more sense for him to believe.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But he's saying also that this is based on official Chinese government numbers that leaked in the People's Daily.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		He got them.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I can't find the source.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		The Chinese government is leaking things.
unidentified		Sure.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I can't find the source that Alex is talking about from the People's Daily.
		Surprise.
		Because it's not correct.
		But I did find an article on Inforce about this that was written by Paul Joseph Watson.
		According to his story, Paul's source was a website called Taiwan News, which is actually an actual news outlet.
		The vague name of Paul's propensity for using tweets as sources might lead one to be suspicious, but it's an actual outlet.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		All right, I'll deal with Taiwan News.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		This article is covering how Tencent's website, they had a website called Epidemic Situation Tracker.
		It had briefly shown numbers of fatalities and infections that are way higher than the official numbers that are being reported.
		The infection count was 10 times higher, and the death toll was 24,589 as opposed to the official figure of around 300.
		These numbers were up briefly, then were changed to reflect the official statistics.
		This article does not prove that the numbers that Tencent had posted briefly are accurate.
		It's just suggestive with lines like, quote, some are speculating that a coding problem could be causing the real, quote, internal data to accidentally appear.
		Others believe that someone behind the scenes is trying to leak the real numbers.
		I don't know what the situation with this is, but it seems entirely plausible that some kind of a glitch could have been responsible for the error.
		The theory that someone is trying to leak real numbers is baseless, and there's nothing supporting that in terms of proof.
		It's just something that is suggested, like, well, maybe that's what this is.
		The speculation that a coding problem is causing real numbers, quote-unquote real numbers, to show up, seems even more insane.
		Since if your epidemic tracker is built to be a propaganda front to trick people that the outbreak isn't as bad as you say, it seems like you wouldn't connect that to the quote real numbers at all.
		Why would that be something that could show up?
unidentified		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		That's ridiculous.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		If you're, yeah, yeah.
		And nobody at a Chinese outlet for a second is going to leak that without knowing.
		It seems about to be murdered.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It seems unlikely.
		So you could just have that website show whatever you want it to show, basically.
		Like, quite frankly, it seems like an error, like that idea that the code is pulling in the real, quote-unquote, real numbers.
		That seems like an error that couldn't happen in the setup that they're presenting as what this website is.
		I have no idea.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		They keep two Google spreadsheets in the same tab and they accidentally clicked over.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That happens.
unidentified		Totally.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Alex is making tons of money right now, amping up any indication that the coronavirus is as bad as it possibly can be and that everyone is lying to you about it.
		He'll accept whatever piece of information helps him push that narrative, regardless of how grounded or substantiated it is, which I think is bad.
		Also, we see here again another instance of him miss citing his sources because he either doesn't know anything about the story he's covering or he wants to make it more difficult for his listeners to find the underlying information that he's using to push his narratives.
		The People's Daily, it's not the People's Daily, it's Taiwan News.
		It's pretty basic stuff that he's fucking up either because of incompetence or trying to cover the trail.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		One of the two.
		And I'm not entirely sure what it is.
		Probably both.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Alex went on vacation.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And it turns out.
unidentified		He was infected with the coronavirus.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to say something else here.
unidentified		No.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		I have not gotten a fever in over four years.
		And boy, you get on the airplanes today and all the rest of it kept knocking on wood telling you that.
		Boom.
		Got a fever.
		Flying back.
		Got something.
		And my fever's gone now.
		And I feel great.
		You know, everybody else I know has pretty much been sick with whatever this respiratory stuff is.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Probably coronavirus.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Probably some type of coronavirus.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		This stuff's everywhere.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		There it is.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		But boy, I got home last night and I sucked down some immune gargle.
		Oh, man.
		And I've been a drinking man before, so it tastes like I've actually somehow have a delicious Chinops.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Chinops?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But what it's got is at that point, he does take a little pull off the side.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Takes a little pull off the immune gargle.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Gargle is a word for, you know, like you usually spit out like a mouthwash.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He's just drinking it like it's that dude with the Hershey syrup picture that went around.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's like a 30-year teacher drinking Pepto-Bismol straight from the thing every 10 minutes.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's very weird.
		It's a bad image on the show.
		Sitting there with the gargle, like, oh, yeah, take a pull off this.
		It's like Shinops.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		He should not take his own products on the show.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's very weird.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		It's 15 parts per million nano silver.
		That's what Cenen recognizes safe for you to ingest.
		And the mouth, the mucous membrane, the throat goes down the stomach and does incredible things.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Does incredible things.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So we're launching off here into a pitch where Alex is discussing getting a fever and his products killing the fever.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Right.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Even though he knows specifically a person who has already cured the coronavirus.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah, Steve.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Steve, he's already cured it.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		So why isn't Alex going to him?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think Alex even knows that's bullshit because he's not having Steve back around.
unidentified		Steve, you can't be doing that shit, you dumbass.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Sometimes people like alternative medicine.
		Sometimes people like granny's cures, you know, down-home cures.
		Yeah, like you tie a rabbit's foot to your bedroom door, and the morning you wake up and you're healed, that sort of thing.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Witchcraft.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Every time you dissect a frog in high school, you get healed.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So a lot of people like a lot of different things.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And it turns out Alex has a little bit of a down-home remedy for how he cured himself of this fever.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		So I got home last night and said, my wife said, you're hot.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Stuck a thermometer in my mouth, had about 100 and a half temperature, bang back.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		150?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Some of this good stuff right here, super blue silver.
		Went over and got my colloidal silver, silver bullet, took some of that, took a couple Advil, climbed into bed, and slept from 7 until 7 a.m. this morning, and the fever was gone.
		I put on a couple shirts, put on a coat, put on two pairs of sweatpants, got in that bed in the guest bedroom, wrapped my ass up, and cooked like a turkey.
		And got up this morning, and boom, baby, it's gone.
		Yes.
		But there's something about when you talk, the Greeks noticed it, the Romans noticed it.
		There's African sayings about it.
		They go back thousands of years.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		What do we do?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		You talk about how you've been successful and how things haven't happened to you that are happening to others.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		What do we do?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		It's like clockwork.
		Everybody knows.
		You talk about, I haven't been sick in a long time.
		You get sick.
		So I was like, I'm trying to tell you, I haven't had a fever in over four years, maybe longer, but I just knock on wood.
		I don't have boom.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Wow, it turns out his commercial about how he's superstitious about getting sick.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It turns out he's totally right.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God.
		You can't say for two years, I haven't been sick in two years and then be like, oh, she see?
		See what happens when you say you haven't been sick in a long time?
		Fuck you.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Also, there's a lot of variables that don't have anything to do with his silver in that story of how he might have broken that fever.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to go with Advil and 12 Hours of Sleep, Dan.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And cooking himself like a turkey.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, maybe.
		Maybe.
		There are a lot of things that could have helped.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		One of my strategies in terms of fevers that I've had some success with over the years is like taking really hot baths.
		Like you raise the temperature even more.
		Yeah.
		I don't even know if that works, but something that I've always, that seems like exactly what Alex is mirroring.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But I could just say that I took silver beforehand too and then say the silver helped.
unidentified		Yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Generally, I'm really bad with health.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I just, I'm just like, okay, well, eventually this will go away and I go to work.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You're like my dad, just the weighted out.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it'll go away.
		My body has healed itself before or I'll die.
		This is how life works.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Very fatalistic.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		You should get some silver.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You're not like Alex.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		No, because he takes silver and he wants you to take it too.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I don't know if I do.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Boom, you get on an airplane.
		Hell, I probably got it four days ago when I flew out on Saturday, five days ago.
		I probably didn't get it flying back, but as soon as I got out of the airport and I was cold, I was like, man, I'm shivering.
		So that's what happened.
		By the way, this immune gargle will sell out by tomorrow.
		The big 16 ounces.
		These small ones will sell out by Monday.
		And then we have the three ouncers.
		We have a lot of that, but at current sales rates, it'll be gone in about two weeks.
		And again, I just discovered last week that there were Homeland Security secret reports in 2007 by the director of Homeland Security.
		You cheating.
		This nanotech company that puts it out for us is the only thing found by the Pentagon to take out the SARS family, which is the coronavirus family, and that the Pentagon actually buys it from them.
		Again, they private label it to us.
		They probably label the whole family, but the toothpaste is original.
		Immune gargle's original.
		This super wound jail is what the Pentagon gets.
		And the military that's going into different operations, they'll take it with them to put a coating on their hands and face and things so that if you do get little micro cuts and abrasions, like in a swamp, they found that it really cuts back on infections massively.
		And I showed you those secret documents.
		Well, they said, was it restricted?
		What was the word they used when I showed those documents the other day?
		It was uh well, they'll pop my head in a moment.
		The point is, is that it's shelling out.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, so it doesn't pop into his head.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Are we past illegal yet?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Man, I think we're getting there, because there's a very notable increase in recent days of Alex marketing this nano silver and all these products that he has at the nano silver as a way to protect yourself from the coronavirus.
		This might be okay in the case of the super silver wound gel, since as we've discussed on a recent episode, that product has been tested by the FDA and is technically a drug, not a supplement.
		Lately, Alex has been using claims about the super silver wound gel and implying those same claims could be made about the super blue toothpaste and the immune gargle, which both contain nano silver.
		His reasoning seems to be that if the FDA has approved the marketing of the wound gel and it has nano silver in it, it must be cool to market any product containing that nano silver in a similar fashion.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That tracks.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		This is very much not allowed by the law.
		There are a myriad of reasons why this is not acceptable as a business practice, but probably the easiest to explain is that these products are not even close to the same.
		The one the FDA has approved is a topical ointment.
		The other ones are things to be taken internally, which makes them completely incomparable.
		One really easy way to look at this is that the wound gel has 24 parts per million nanosilver, whereas according to the Infowar Store website, the immune gargle has 15 parts per million.
		This makes a big difference when considering the products and what they might do to a person.
		It's part of why Alex constantly tells his audience not to eat the wound gel, because it would probably kill them.
		You would think that the fact that one product is potentially toxic and the other one is not would really demonstrate how you can't make identical claims about them.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Especially when we're talking about nine parts per million separating life.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's a big difference.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And granted, maybe the wound gel wouldn't be probably fatal, but it has a potential.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Sure, it wouldn't make you feel good.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		You might get a fever.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You might have to take some other silver.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		You might have to take a lot of silver.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		According to the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, paragraph six covers statements made about nutritional support.
		Claims can be made about supplements to the extent that studies have shown the claims to be true.
		Like you can say that melatonin helps with sleep patterns and stuff like that.
		The paragraph ends, quote, a statement under this sub paragraph may not claim to diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure, or prevent a specific disease or class of diseases.
		If the manufacturer of a dietary supplement proposes to make a statement described in the first sentence of this sub-paragraph in the labeling of a dietary supplement, the manufacturer shall notify the secretary of the FDA no later than 30 days after the first marketing of the dietary supplement with such a statement that such a statement is being made.
		This is to say that even if you provide a disclaimer that the product is not meant to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition, if you make a claim to that effect, you're required to inform the FDA within 30 days.
		The FDA is not interested in health claims unless they involve two aspects, a substance and a disease or health-related condition.
		You need to have both of these things before you risk getting in trouble.
		For instance, if you want to say that fruit is good for your health, the FDA considers that health guidance, which they don't regulate.
		Health claims, on the other hand, they do.
		And those occur when there is a substance and a condition.
		Alex is very clearly connecting his immune gargle and toothpaste to being helpful in the prevention of the coronavirus, which constitutes a health claim.
		I'm not certain how concrete you have to be with your claims before the FDA would take action because he's being so vague and suggestive with his pitches.
		It very well may be that, like, you know, you couldn't make the case in court that he's making unfounded health claims.
		But for the purposes of this podcast, I'm comfortable saying that that is exactly what he's doing.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And the basis that he's using is the FDA approval of the wound gel, which he's erroneously applying to the other nano-silver products.
		This is just disgusting behavior.
		And anyone who wasn't trying to profit off a public health event wouldn't act like this.
		It's literally the fingerprint of a shameless opportunist.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I think he thinks that by claiming it's the Pentagon and not like a doctor, that's where he's going to be like, oh, see, I'm not claiming that a doctor vetted this.
		I'm just saying that the Pentagon, which, hey, the Pentagon does all kinds of weird health shit.
		The Pentagon thinks that LSD can control people's minds.
		It doesn't matter what the Pentagon thinks.
		I'm just saying.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		If it comes down to it, that's not going to help.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's weak.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's bullshit, but I think that's what he's kind of angling for.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And it's interesting that these narratives, these ways of pitching these products are emerging at a time when there is a public health issue that Alex is really building in and making a major focus of his narratives, using all these memes and dumb, unsubstantiated things to build panic surrounding the coronavirus and then being like, oh, hey, by the way, this nano silver that I sell, there's secret studies that have been done.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's just fucking irresponsible and awful.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		And we know it's not going to stop because apparently it's working very well.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		This is the first time in a long time he's been happy about sales.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		No, totally.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		So I think we're going to hear this going for a long time.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And it's not only the supplement sales, it's also the food.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Of course.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		And if you look right over here, the storable food.
		I had a note here from Matt Redhawk that I think I left in the conference room in there.
		I forgot to get that guy.
		She'll bring that to me.
		And he gave us a call this morning and he said, well, we are still able to ship food out, but now it's 10 to 14 days and everybody else is totally sold out.
		Anybody else telling you they've got storable foods up is lying to you or it's crap.
		They've got high quality, new, fresh food.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		How do you know?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		24 hours a day.
		But now it'll take 10 to 14 days for you to get it.
		If you get your order in now, and it may go up to two or three weeks by next week, and soon they may be sold out.
		But they have the food right now to take your order and get it out to you.
		Infowarstore.com.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You better get it now.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Terry, Terry, I think we're going to have to put a clock on this one.
		Your beats are going to go out too fast.
		All right.
		We're going to put an hour on the hour on the clock right now, okay?
		Everybody, get your calls in now because these are going to be gone by.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't even know if it's going to last the full hour, but we got to put the hour on the food people, and it's going to be longer now.
		The way time is longer.
		And you know why?
		Inflated demand that Alex is creating with these entire hour-long infomercial and all of the content on his show where he's trying to terrify people about the coronavirus situation in order to drive them towards the food sales.
		Now, you've got the My Patriot supply.
		And by the way, they're the people who supply a ton of other people who sell survival foods.
		It's not just Alex.
unidentified		Sure.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		They're diversified in terms of, I believe, Ben Shapiro's food people are them too.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Ben Shapiro has food people.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he sells survival food.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		What the fuck is wrong?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		A lot of these people do.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Now, granted, Jim Baker, no.
		He is Augustine Farms or something.
		He has a different one.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Okay, good for you.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Which apparently they don't have any food left.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Because Alex is told there's no one else has food.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Look, if you watch Jim Baker's show, he's going to be like, we would love to sell you survival food.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's all gone.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I almost guarantee that Jim Baker's pitch is no one else has food.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Of course it is.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Of course it is.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Not just that, but God wants you to buy his food.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Totally.
		So all of this behavior that Alex is engaging in, these sort of deceptive, manipulative sales practices, all it does is funnel people to buy this survival food.
		Now there's an increased artificially inflated demand, which is pushing back the delivery times that they can promise.
		And that appears to be a run on food.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Maybe they don't have enough to fulfill all of these requirements.
		All it does is exacerbate.
		It's almost like a run on a bank.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it really is.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Alex is causing a food run.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It is like that's one of those things where it's like they are not bummed, you know?
		Like my Patriot Supply isn't like, Alex, we need to stick by FDA rules and you can't say these things.
		They're like, you keep fucking going.
		We're selling a shit ton of stuff.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Well, my Patriot Supply has nothing to do with the silver.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, okay.
		Okay, then I'll talk about the silver then.
		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Well, even terrifying.
		I don't know.
		I don't know if Alex could get them in trouble.
		I think that they're not responsible for the way Alex sells stuff.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I'm not sure.
		That's an interesting question.
		But in terms of My Patriot Supply, they don't give a shit.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Is I guess making false claims about a disease, is that actionable in any way?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		What do you mean?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Like saying that the coronavirus is going to kill you and your family tomorrow.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't think the coronavirus could take you to court.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		No.
		I mean, as a criminal situation there.
		Can you?
		I guess it's not inciting a panic or anything like that.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't know in what way it would be.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
		It's complicated.
		So we'll get back to there's more.
		Obviously, there's more virus stuff coming up.
		But weirdly, we get a reprieve from it because Trump is giving a speech.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Trump is giving a speech, his victory speech about beating this impeachment trial.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And so Alex comes in and he starts talking over the applause that the audience is giving Trump.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		This is a big victory.
unidentified		Listen to this, this is fairytale folks.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		This is the real world.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		True strength and infection.
unidentified		Thank you.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		He's in real danger now, though.
		Now they're going to make a physical move on.
		He better start defending his supporters, though.
		That's a soft underball.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So they're going to make a move physically on Trump.
		They're going to try and kill him now that the impeachment went the way it did.
		And the only solution to that is Trump has got to get me back on Facebook.
unidentified		Sure.
unidentified		Christ.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Great.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		We're all going to die.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So the applause is pretty long at the beginning.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's weirdly long.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It gives Alex a lot of opportunity to talk over it.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		This will be the day longer than me.
unidentified		Thank you very much, everybody.
unidentified		Wow.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So there's a lot of, like, it's weird that that's the quote that he uses because I want to, I know you know this, but there's not a lot of subtlety in Star Wars.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I don't understand.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		The Empire is definitively the bad guys.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		How?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		There's no moral ambiguity about it at all.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		They're evil.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		The rebellion is good.
		Legitimately, it's one of the most clear-cut examples of black and white heroes and villains in any movie that I can think of.
		And Alex seems to really identify with the bad guys.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Well, yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Because he's a bad guy.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		They're clones.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Alex knows it.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		The line he's quoting while waiting for Trump to come out and give his impeachment acquittal speech is a line that Darth Vader says after Obi-Wan has been killed and the Death Star is heading to wipe out the rebellion.
unidentified		Right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		These are the words of an absolute villain on the cusp of wiping out the only hope for freedom from tyranny that's left in the universe.
		This could be seen as Alex being stupid and just a dork, but I have a strong suspicion that it's really more of a tell about what type of person Alex Jones actually is.
		He's a fan of the Empire.
		And when he sees Trump, his hero, about to give a triumphant speech, it brings to mind Darth Vader on the cusp of solidifying universal rule.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think that that's why that triggers in his mind.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		How can you not like Emperor Palpatine?
		Come on.
		He's an authoritarian dictator.
		He's maneuvered his way via political machinations to destroy the entire false flags, too.
		Absolutely.
		knock some false flags in there.
		He was in control of the droid rebellion at the same time that he was creating the clone stormtroopers.
		I mean, this guy knows how to play the game.
		Also, he can shoot lightning from his fingertips.
		Can you do that?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		What's not delightful?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		What's not delightful?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You take Super Silver, you can shoot a fingertip.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Can you?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I don't know if the FDA has approved that claim.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Weirdly, they have.
		Okay.
		So Trump gets to talking, and he has a little bit of a verbal dip.
		Like in a number of his speeches that he's been giving, he seems to like lose track of words.
		I think part of that is probably just like he's telepromptering, reading stuff, and sort of like loses, starts saying a word and gets mixed up in the middle.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		He gets bored because he doesn't have an attention span and he's super old and he's dying.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		There's a lot of people who have speculated about neurological events and stuff like that.
		And I don't know that that's the case.
		And I think it would be a bit irresponsible for us to suggest that.
		I think it would be dumb for us.
		But there are instances where he just clearly doesn't know what he's saying and he starts saying shit.
		This is not one of those occasions.
		Alex never talks about any of that stuff at all.
		And why would he?
		It's not the kind of Trump that he wants to.
		But Trump is talking in his speech, and he gives a little bit of what I would describe as a verbal dip.
		And Alex takes the opportunity and he just needs to portray it in the way he wants his audience to see it.
unidentified		Develop friendships and relationships when you're in battle and war, much more so than, gee, let's have a normal situation.
		With all that we've gone through, we've done, I think, more than any president and administration.
		Wow, Trump almost cried really high for the kid.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		He only did that one more time when we talked about Deuteronomy in Congress.
		He almost heard her crying right there.
		Henry please take action now.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He just said situation kind of lilty.
		And if you watch a video, there's no emotion on his face or anything.
		I don't believe for a second he was about to cry.
		That seems absurd.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		What would it take to make him cry?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Maybe somebody removing his name from a building.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I would assume that would be an emotional moment.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That's about it.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		You could watch Ivanka die in his face and he'd be like, ah, what are you going to do?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		The reason that I brought up those things of like the media covering these weird sort of hiccups in some of his rallies is because I think Alex is aware of that.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And I think that he heard that as kind of being close enough to that that he needed to reclaim it.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I get the sense that that is what's going on there.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It paints Trump as like an emotional, stoic man, but he still has feelings.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Right, right, right, right.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That can only be expressed on days when troops die or days when you've just defeated your greatest enemy.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So the speech is meandering.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's long.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, surprise.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Alex doesn't take a whole lot of interest in most of it because there's one thing that he loves.
unidentified		We first went through Russia, Russia, Russia.
		It was all bullshit.
		Wow.
		We then went through the Lulla report.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Don't delay that.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Don't delay that.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		You put it out.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's the president saying bullshit.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, God.
		We're all fucking children, aren't we?
		We're just children.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Alex loves this.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Of course.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He loves that Trump said bullshit.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Look at him taking it even more to the libs with his words.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Alex gets like really defensive about like, no, we're not going to edit that out.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		No, the president said it.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		And you know what?
		I'm going to air it.
		The Democrats can cuss on broadcasts.
		Nobody gets in trouble.
		Patriots can be in trouble.
		I don't want to cuss on there.
		The president just did.
		We can say that word, okay?
		And nobody at the FCC that Trump runs is going to get anybody in trouble.
		That's true.
		Democrats doing what we do.
		Because he's noting this is the first time in history, cussing to show people how serious this is.
		We'll be back.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		So, first time in history, dip.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Alex is pretending this is the first time Trump has sworn in a speech.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And that either indicates that he has literally no memory for things that Trump has said, or he's a complete fraud and has no interest in anything he's saying being true.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		No.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Who could forget the time back in September 2017 when Trump was in front of a rally in Alabama talking about Colin Kaepernick?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And he said, quote, wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects the flag, to say to that, get that son of a bitch off the field right now.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Out.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He's fired.
		He's fired.
		Or what about the time on the campaign trail?
		Trump discussed how he would deal with ISIS.
		Quote, I would bomb the shit out of them.
		Or in February 2016, when Trump was holding a campaign rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, where he called Ted Cruz a pussy while pretending he was just repeating something someone in the audience had said.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Is pussy a swear word?
		That's debatable.
		That one's debatable.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's a vulgarity.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It is a vulgarity.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yes, absolutely.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		At his speech at CPAC, he said that people were going to start attacking him, quote, with bullshit.
		Like, legitimately, Trump cannot stop swearing in speeches.
		It's the polar opposite of notable when he said bullshit in this speech that Alex is listening to now.
		It's such a common thing.
		There have been tons of articles written about it.
		Like one headlined, The Profanity President from May 2019 in the New York Times.
		Or one headlined, Donald Trump keeps cursing.
		Here's why it might help him from October 2017 in time.
		Or from The Washington Post, how Trump took swearing mainstream.
		Or from November 2019 in the week, the cursing president.
		Alex's angle on this is legitimately unhinged.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		God.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Trump swears so goddamn much that it's the topic of a conversation about whether or not it's an intentional strategy he's using.
		He swears more than any other president.
		And while we're on the subject of people getting away with things, no other president ever would have gotten away with the consistent barrage of bullshit he does at his rallies and speeches.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Alex might want to calm down with that horseshit conservative victimhood talk.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Look, if Barack had said this is all bullshit when he was talking about Fox News, Fox News would have been like, look at our powerful president.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Look at how he's unafraid of the libs and he's willing to swear.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Didn't he call Kanye West a jackass?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		He did call Kanye West a jackass.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It was a news cycle for a week.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't know what Alex's take on that was.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I would be interested.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Probably.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He was angry about it later when Kanye started hanging out with him.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah, exactly.
unidentified		Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But I'm not sure what it was at the time.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Probably didn't even notice.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		God, it's so funny that William Randolph Hearst would have turned this into a reason to end a presidency.
		Like one bullshit, and it would be like, and there went Hoover.
		He's just gone.
		He said bullshit.
		Now he's gone.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Honestly, I think it indicates a certain amount of lack of control.
		Like it's unbecoming.
		I know that that's a conversation that may be antiquated and past its time.
		But I don't enjoy it.
		Like I don't appreciate seeing a president saying bullshit.
		Right, right, right.
		And I'm not like puritanical.
		I'd say I swear all the time on this show.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Because I can't control myself.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But I'm not.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That's how I talk.
		I'm not the president.
		Well, it's a little bit like seeing, it's a little bit like seeing your parents swear for the first time.
		Like, because you think these are, you know, when you're like 10 or 11, you think, oh, shit, these guys have their shit together.
		They're the authority figures.
		I know I can trust them.
		And then they swear and you're like, all bets are fucking off.
		I don't know what the fuck is going to happen here.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but there's a difference too between like the I know there's a difference between the president and your fucking parents.
		Yeah, it's a matter of scale.
		So Alex is really insistent that this means something.
		Like he's really.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That he said bullshit?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, because he's still pretending that he's never sworn before he's never sworn before.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		We paused it when we went to break when he came out and Fox News carried it as well.
		It was all bullshit.
		And again, I don't even like to use cush words on air.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Really?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		But I'm sick of how on broadcast family shows Democrats do it on the view.
		They do it on Good Morning America.
		They do it on their sitcoms at night.
		They do it during the family hour.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		The family hour on their sitcoms.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		They do it all over CNN.
		They do it everywhere.
		But then if we do it and we're conservatives, we get in trouble.
		But the president just did it.
		And notice Fox News, MSNBC, they didn't cut it out as well.
		Because the president did that to note how serious things are.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Like all the other times he's sworn, they all were indications of how serious things are.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Look, you know, they'll swear on those liberal shows like whatever Bill Maher is.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Do you think Tim Allen is swearing on Last Man Standing?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		That's exactly it.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Their sitcoms are everything the Tim Allen's not.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		That's the definition of the globalist sitcom.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Everything except for that.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Everything except for Tim Allen shows.
		Home improvement, man.
		You're never going to get better than that show.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So there's a weird trend of Alex like sort of listening to this speech and rejoicing throughout it like a ghoul, like a villain who's just one.
		Like, I can't.
		This sounds like an evil person.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		The deep state has failed severely.
		The Liberty Patriot movement is taking over the Republican Party and the Republic.
		It's ours.
unidentified		Quiet.
unidentified		Can't quiet.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		America is falling back into our hands.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Enemy confidence.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		That's ridiculous.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Man, I guess we have to.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I guess in their perfect world, we rewrite all of the Bond films where the billionaires are the bad guy and it's just like, nope, they're the heroes.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Turns out Bond.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Bond is bullshit.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He was illegally spying on those movies.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		He's part of the deep state, Dan.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Didn't have authority to use those gadgets.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		One, he wasn't in his own sovereign nation, Dan.
		How is it?
		What are you doing going from Russia, even if you're carrying love?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's true.
		It's true.
		Bond was the bad guy.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		He was the bad guy the whole time.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think an argument could be made from the left that Bond was the bad guy, too.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I think obviously Bond was the bad guy.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Maybe everyone in those movies were bad.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I remember.
		I can't remember.
		I might be from Russia with Love, but it opens.
		He's having this lovely picnic about to go on a nice little boat ride.
		All sitting there, he gets a call, and the woman's like, No, put it down.
		You don't need that.
		And he just whacks her.
		He just hits her.
		And I'm like, holy shit, I have not seen this movie in a long time.
		What the fuck?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that doesn't surprise me knowing what I know about Ian.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Sean Connery.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Ian Flemingly T.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Sean Connery.
		Yeah.
		To be fair, I haven't really seen many of those movies.
		That was not a genre that appealed to me much as a younger man.
		I've maybe seen one or two Bond movies.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I've seen everything Sean Connery has ever been.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I find that type of movie.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I am a Zardaz homer.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Fair enough.
		I find the type of movie that's like Bond to be laborious.
		Yeah.
		I find it exhausting.
unidentified		Okay.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But I'll take that.
		So Alex's primary goal on this February 6th show is to talk about Trump's speech and then go to calls.
		That's basically all he wants to do.
		So he talks about how we're going to get to calls here in this next clip.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		But I do want to take your phone call specifically on this historically and on the coronavirus because there have been giant developments on that front.
		And it's going to be a big challenge for the United States.
		And it is deadly to some and it is spreading very, very fast.
		And it is engineered.
		That's now confirmed.
		So I want to take calls on these subjects.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		That's now confirmed.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Confirmed by who?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Oh, the confirmation is that self-retracted study that Alex saw the unpeer-reviewed on that's unconfirmed then.
		It is now, but it's become a part of Alex's rhetoric and a touchstone and a talking point.
		So it shall never be amended, never check in on anything.
		That's the confirmation that Alex has.
		And now in the canon of InfoWars information, it's true.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's true.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Fine.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Incontrovertible is the word I would use.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		So, this episode also is very heavy on food sales.
		Like, he is pushing this shit hard because I think he recognizes that it's working.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, there's a chance.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		And then just remember, I've got this statement here from my Patriot Supply.
		When you order at Infowarshore.com, we get part of the money to fund our operation.
		It's shipped out the very same time.
		They're in our computer system.
		We're partners with them for over a decade.
		And so it goes right out.
		They were seven to 10 days.
		They had the food on hand.
		They just got to package it.
		Now it's 10 to 14.
		Right now they're at seven days, but the orders are so high and everything's going so crazy.
		Just to be safe, they're saying if you get your order in today, it's 10 to 14 days.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		The orders are so high.
		Alex is recognizing, I believe, that this strategy is working.
		There is an increase in the orders that are coming in for the food based on what he's able to sell it, the way he's able to sell it.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It is ironic to me for how much he has railed against China that in some ways China is now saving his business.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yep, that is a cruel, cruel universe we live in.
		So wouldn't you know it, man?
		Like, you know, he works with my Patriot supply.
		And what do you know?
		They're the only good food company.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Isn't it weird?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That's what it's by design.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		It's packaged in the best packaging you're going to find.
		And it's an information war.
		And I only partner with folks that have quality food and that deliver when they say everybody else, I'm telling you, it's a bad industry.
		And I'm sad to have to say that, but that's just the truth.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's a bad industry, man.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It breaks his heart to have to say that his competitors are not good.
		It breaks his heart.
		He wants genuine competition, Danny.
		It drives each business to a height that otherwise they would never.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's like that's a big part of the free market.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's like Rafa, Djokovic, and Federer.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		If it weren't for all three of them, they wouldn't have reached the heights that they have reached.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
		Absolutely.
		I have bad news.
		Tennis is a bad business.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Damn it.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You like Rafa?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Only good tennis party.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he is the only.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		No, absolutely.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It is strange.
		It's strange.
		So he wants to get to calls, but he doesn't because what he wants to do more is really use these narratives that he's built up to sell things.
		He's really going hard with sales because, of course, he is.
		That's why it hurt that he went on vacation and why he got on a plane to come back sooner.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Because he needs to get like, you have to strike while the irony.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Alex, Alex, we saw our sales dip 1,000% whenever you weren't selling.
		Owen Shroyer sucks.
		Leave him up.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		And they're selling out of food with this coronavirus and the 2020 and all the craziness.
		If they're able to pop the stock market, which the globalists are trying right now, then it's going to be very, very serious.
		So I suggest you get high-quality affordable food before it all sells out.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think that is a perfect, very distilled-down example of how he uses these narratives to drive people towards the sales that he wants to make.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But he's not done selling.
		I mean, there's a large chunk there where he's talking about the food, but now he gets back to the silver.
		And I think we're entering into like really deeply unethical.
		It's at very least super unethical.
		And I do think that he is at great risk.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Like, I think that I would love to talk to somebody from like the FDA.
unidentified		Call them.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		They have numbers.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I feel like a snitch, though.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't want to do it.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's true.
		I have lived my life via the no-snitching rule.
		It is difficult to go against the green.
		No.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it feels like it would be an interference.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I feel like it would also be interfering with Alex's world to an extent that I'm uncomfortable with.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Right, right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Like if I were to put in motion something that ends up getting him fined, like, I don't know, a million dollars, I feel like that would be interfering with his world and then me covering him dealing with the consequences of that.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Right, right.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I just, I. Do you mean the apotheosis of your career?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Can't, I can't bring myself to get to that point.
		But I would be interested in talking to somebody about like, where is the line?
		Is this past it?
		Yeah, because it feels like it is.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's terrible that we don't have any lawyers who listen to this shit.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		There are lawyers, but I'm not sure if there are any like supplement regulation lawyers.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's true.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		The big bottle of immune gargle that has the patented nano-silver in it.
		Instead of me just saying this, let me show TV viewers.
		This is from Texas AM University, Confidential.
		And then right here is going to the Army Headquarters, United States Special Operations Command from the Commissioner of Food and Drug Administration.
		And then you've also got the head of Homeland Security in here, all saying in confidential documents of the Nano Silver that we have in Super Silver and in the Super Silver Whitening Toothpaste and in the Super Silver Wound Gel.
		That's their main product.
		We probably label it.
		We have original products with them because they're big listeners and big fans.
		And again, that is the nanotech company, ladies and gentlemen.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		When Alex flashed up on the screen the document that he's talking about, if you look at it, it's just about the silver gel.
		It is just about the wound gel.
		So whatever he's trying to use to apply to these other products does not apply.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It might as well be a receipt from Bed Bath and Beyond.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He has a responsibility to not act like this, I believe.
		Because even these secret documents or whatever that he's purporting to be the basis of this claims, these insinuations that he's making are not about the gargle.
		They're not about the toothpaste.
		It's directly about the gel.
		And I don't know.
		I have a hunch that this is not okay.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I'm always amazed when people buy toothpastes that are infused with something odd.
		Like, it reminds me of when they used to sell like radiated toothpaste, and they'll be like, it makes your teeth glow in the dark.
		And I'd like, no, I don't want any of that.
		Basic toothpaste.
unidentified		Why don't you do that?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Basic toothpaste.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Why don't you go chew on a stick, though?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Isn't that how they used to do it?
		So Alex gets back to listening to Trump's speech because it's still going on.
		And I think he starts to get a little bit bored by it because it's not as aggressive and violent as he wants it to be.
		And so he makes a really big declaration.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		The Democrats work for foreign multinational governments and are totally ruthless criminals, and we're all in great danger.
		Their party has to end.
		The Republican Party has to break in two.
		Two-party systems much better than the European model of 10 different parties, 20 parties, because the party in power can always parlay and buy off the other parties to stay in power or just change their name.
		Two-party system is the best, and it's not perfect.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So it's worth noting that one of the gigantic hallmarks of authoritarians who are shoring up their power is outlawing their opposition parties.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		This is not a shocking thing that that's a consistent trend.
		So when you see people suggesting that the political party that they're against needs to be destroyed or outlawed, your ears should perk the fuck up that they're in the beginning or middle stages of supporting a non-democratic authoritarian form of government, which Alex absolutely is.
		And that's why he identifies with Darth Vader and the umpire.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's a huge thing also to blame your enemies word for word for shit that you are word for word guilty of.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Maybe.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Also, how stupid is his plan?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He's saying that the GOP should split into two parties.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And then that will be the new two-party system because the Democrats are all evil globalists.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But a flaw in this plan is that Alex also thinks that a lot of Republicans, namely the ones who don't worship Trump, are evil globalists.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Well, it makes sense because what you do then is now that you've split into the two-party system once more, you have the hard right and then you have the middle right.
		And guess what?
		Dan, the middle right neocons also work for foreign governments.
		They're also corrupt.
		We got to get rid of that party too, and we'll split our heart around into the two-party system.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Basically, the split would end up being the Trump fetish community on one side and the non-Trump lovers on the other.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And just like you said, we're exactly back where we started.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		With Alex accusing the side that he's not on of being a globalist racket that needs to be destroyed.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		There's no polite political disagreement that's really possible in Alex's world because he believes his enemies are literal demons.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, there is only.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		No matter how many parties there are or how they get created, all the ones he's not in will need to be destroyed.
		Alex wants loyal, symbolic opposition.
		He wants his Trump dictatorship to control like 85% of the government, then a different Republican Party to be the other 15%, completely incapable of doing anything but providing the appearance of some kind of democracy.
		That's more or less what he's expressing.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's crazy.
		It's like the first time we've ever seen anything like this.
		It's a really unusual thing for autocracies to do.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You would think a student of history like Alex Jones would be aware of the kind of things that he's advancing as his ideal outcome.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I mean, it does seem like this has happened before.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		And since he has read so much history, you know, he would know about it.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I mean, how many books has you read about World War II?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		At least hundreds.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Certainly not a book about what the Nazis did.
unidentified		In terms of outlawing political parties.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Great.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Well, you think the Nazis are the bad guy, and then you realize the stormtroopers were based on the Nazis, which means Emperor Palpatine was based on Hitler.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		And all of a sudden, you love Hitler.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Uh-oh.
		So interestingly, Alex, like, it's not a stray thought that he has.
		This becomes a theme for the rest of the episode, talking about the need to outlaw the Democratic Party.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That's not good.
unidentified		The Republicans' Party Party's poll numbers and Donald Trump's poll numbers are the highest I've ever had that way.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		And that's skewed numbers, though.
		It's much higher.
		Donald Trump must deal the political death blow, start indicting people, and he'll get your poll numbers in the Democratic Party.
unidentified		Because from my family standpoint, it's been very unfair.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		It's got to be disbanded.
		It's a criminal organization.
		It's a mafia.
		Disbanded.
unidentified		Think of it.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		That's not a radical statement.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yes, it is.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		It's very globalist.
		No borders, no walls in the USA at all.
		In the Democratic Party, outlawing.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He's calling for Trump to outlaw the Democratic Party.
		And this, like, there have been a series of red flags along the way in terms of what Alex Jones wants.
		There could not be a larger easy buzzer here.
		Like the reddest of flags, a deep red flag.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah.
unidentified		Just like, hey, Alex is Alex wants a dictatorship here.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Alex wants an authoritarian regime surrounding his incompetent weirdo leader.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I do feel a little bit like I'm unnamed that tune and work two words into it and I hit the buzzer.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I'm like, autocratic rule.
unidentified		Yep.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Autocratic rule.
unidentified		Move on.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I mean, this is a real easy one.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Outlawing your political opposition.
		I mean, even like Trump coming to power with the lock her up, the idea of jailing your political opposition.
		I mean, that's the nascent form of this.
unidentified		Right, right, right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Because you could kind of weasel around it with like, I sincerely believe that Hillary Clinton has committed all these crimes and she needs to be incarcerated.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		That's sort of like a, hey, you sound a bit like an authoritarian trying to shore up power.
		Right.
		You can kind of get around it.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Outlawing your only viable political opponent party.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think you've gone way past the point.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But Alex saying this isn't a radical statement.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's a definition of a radical statement.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		No, from a legal basis, when Trump leaves office, which is 50-50 shot at this point, he should go to jail.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Like, there's no other.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Right.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Whether or not you care about party affiliation, he's committed the crimes necessary.
		And he has a long pattern of committing the crimes.
		And he's going to continue to commit the crimes even after, you know, as long as he's free.
		So it's not a political statement to say he needs to go to jail.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And the thing, too, is like probably if Trump were to be in any trouble after leaving office, it would be something that should be beyond the scale of our justice.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Now, unfortunately, he ends up with like, what, the UN or something?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And then that just justifies all of the narratives Alex has ever told us.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		The Haitian is going to be in real trouble.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's a no-win situation.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Nope.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So anyway, Trump starts rambling, telling stories about Steve Scalise playing baseball.
		And Alex.
		I think he's getting like, this is not what I wanted.
		I wanted a fire and brimstone speech where Trump was going to come out and say the globalists are fucked.
		I beat this impeachment.
		You guys are going to pay.
		He said bullshit, man.
		That means this is serious.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's about to happen.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And then Trump starts talking about Steve Scalise playing baseball.
unidentified		And the first pitch, Steve Sen is second base, and the guy is really in bad shape.
		And I say, this is terrible.
		A shot.
		Round ball shot is hit to second.
		And Steve, I say, I didn't have time to think too much, but I said, this is not good.
		That ball is going toward him.
		And this guy stopped that ball, caught the ball.
		He's now laying down.
		He throws the ball the first base he gets him out.
		I said, it's the most incredible thing.
		I've never seen that letter.
		I've never seen anything like it.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		What Trump does is he impeaches him again.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		And he shows the world he's human, not this demonized creature, the straw man they've built.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think Alex is partially right when he says that Trump humanizes people, but he needs to be more specific.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		By standing next to them, they are more human than Trump.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		No, but through the rhetoric and the words that he uses, he humanizes really bad white people.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it does seem like he seems to dehumanize non-white people.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Like who?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Generally.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Like who?
		Like, what are you going to say?
		Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?
		Sure, we'll give you that one.
		Rashida Tlaib, sure, we'll give you that one.
		I mean, it's not like he gave out good statements whenever previous.
		How many civil rights leaders have died?
		Oh, my God.
		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they're not doing good.
		There's a trend.
		When Alex says that he humanizes people, it's things like this.
		There's Steve Scalise, who sold himself as David Duke without the baggage.
		You humanize this guy.
		There's good people on both sides at Charlottesville at the Unite the Right rally.
		That's humanizing people who are not.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Who among us hasn't wanted to commit racially biased crime?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		When I say that he humanizes white people, I should be clear.
		I don't mean white people as a whole.
		No, no, no, no.
		I mean people who have some white issues.
		Some people who are not good.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I will say that he probably wouldn't try and humanize me.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I think he would probably leave that white person out of it.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He would call you, I don't know.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, any number almost.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So anyway, Trump gets to talking about how he thinks that Scalise is awesome.
unidentified		Steve, he is fantastic.
		You are fantastic.
		You and Liz.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't know who Liz is.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Steve Scalise's wife is named Jennifer.
unidentified		She's great.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Neither of his kids are named Liz.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Love Liz.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I have no idea who he's talking about.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Like, I looked into it because there was a female Capitol Police officer who is also injured.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Maybe she was Liz, yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Nope.
unidentified		Nope.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		She's not named Liz.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		She's a woman.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		We don't need to talk about that.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't know who he's talking about.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think he forgot Steve Scalise's wife's name is Jennifer.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That would make sense.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		That's what I'm suspicious of that.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, when we're talking about conspiracy theories, let's go with Trump Can't Read.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Alex is hearing all this talk about Scalise and all that.
		And even though Alex loves Scalise, I think he's getting sick of these nice words.
		Like, he's really starting to get pissed off.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		All right, I mean, we're analyzing what the president said.
		I get he's being friendly and trying to be human, which he is, everybody.
		I'd like to see more attacks on the deep state and the globalists.
		Oh, there's going to be criminal action against him.
		Already said some of that.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So I just think he's like, oh, it's too much nice talk.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I want him to go cue.
		I want him to release these sealed indictments.
		I want him to attack.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But also accused bullshit.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
		Now that he's free of all of this shit, it's time for him to consolidate his power base, disband the entire Democratic Party.
		I assume, at very least, hang Nancy Pelosi in effigy from the fucking White House.
unidentified		Yep.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So, I mean, but that is exactly what he is.
		He's on.
		He's hyper-fixated on eliminating.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I want him to attack.
		I want him to attack.
		I don't want him to bring the country together.
		Fuck no.
		The country shouldn't be together.
		Half the country should be gone.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And the people who vote for Democrats should be forced to vote for other Republicans.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
		Yeah.
		They should be forced to vote for Republicans.
		They should have Biden or Styre.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		They should have their political party outlawed.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, absolutely.
		You know what we need?
		We need a new Republican Party, and I know just who should lead it.
		Pete Buttigig.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Why?
		I mean, it's ridiculous.
		Anyway, Alex wants the Democratic Party gone.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Of course.
		Now.
		Of course.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		You've got over 10 major parties in England, and you had the conservatives blending with over 50-something percent.
		It's over for labor.
		So the same thing.
		We can kill this party now if we.
		How do we do that?
		Because they are a criminal anti-American group that says the country shouldn't exist.
		Well, that's on a political party.
		That's a foreign enemy operation.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So he's just really on this tip.
		Like, I don't know where it's coming.
		I mean, I know where it's coming from.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But I don't recall him going on these rants so consistently and this hitting this point so hard.
		I don't know.
		It's weird.
		It's not a good sign.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I really do think we're getting to we're getting past the point where he's bought his own bullshit on that stuff.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Like it's destroying the Democratic Party.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, absolutely.
		Like we're we're we're really past the point where he was exploiting this autocratic kind of bullshit, thinking, okay, well, I, yeah, I know Trump's mobbed up.
		I see now he's got all this white agreement shit.
		This is perfect for my base.
		We're going to ride this out.
		And then he just forgot that he was lying.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's possible.
		It's possible.
		It's hard to know what goes on within the hearts of men.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		William Shakespeare.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I've heard that guy.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So anyway, Alex goes to break and he comes back.
		And you might have heard like a voice in the background.
		That's because Owen Schroer is now in studio sitting with him and being ineffectual.
		But Alex comes back and he's doing a little singing, but it's not to the highway, man.
unidentified		Watch!
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Watch me!
		You're not allowed.
		You're not allowed to even hear James Brown.
unidentified		Watch me!
		I got it!
		Yay!
		I got something that makes me want to shout.
		I sure did.
		I got something that tells me what it's all about.
		I got soul, and I'm super bad.
		Yeah.
		I got soul.
		And I'm super bad.
		Now, I gotta move that tells me what to do.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Sometimes the team.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Gotta move tells me what to do.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		You do not.
unidentified		I gotta move.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He thinks the song's about the Holy Spirit.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Jesus Christ.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Also, James Brown's get on the scene like a sex machine.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Also, about the Holy Spirit.
unidentified		Such a good.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Ah, God, James Brown is so good.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Funky Drummer is.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's also about the Holy Spirit.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, that's because all drummers, all drummers have the Holy Spirit.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I was a drummer for years.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So, Les, do you think that singing along with I Got Sold Super Bad?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		If you think that put him in a good mood, no, it did not.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		How could it not just round bangs, man?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Come on.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Still complaining about the Democratic Party and how they got to go.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Well, we're feeling nice about the feet of the Democrats.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		The fact that we put up with this so long is really a crime.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Wait, you put up with this so long and the Democrats.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Like, what about, like, wasn't it just a few years ago Alex was above the political level?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I think George W. Bush really should have just disbanded the Democratic Party.
		That makes sense.
		He's been ideologically.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Alex's entire identity for so long has been about like, hey, the whole left-ray paradigm is all an illusion.
		They're all the same.
		But now you're saying we put up with this for so long from the Democrats.
		Like, they're just saying you were secretly a Republican all along?
		Because that's what everyone said.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It does seem like we're we because we figured this out a long time ago, but his paradigm is not the left-right paradigm.
		It's the white-non-white paradigm.
		And that's where we're that's where we're at.
unidentified		Yep.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's the classes of person that he is against the other.
unidentified		Yep.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Because Christian is so important to white, male, cisgender, like all of these heterosexual, all of these identifiers.
		Right.
		And that's what's so important to him.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Not necessarily the Democrat or Republican.
		But now he's recognized that his quote-unquote patriot folk, the Liberty folk, have taken over the Republican Party.
		So now it is the Republican Party.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's not because there should be two Republican parties.
unidentified		Sure.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		God, he's so stupid.
		Does he not even hear when you say, get rid of my political enemies, and then let's take my political friends and split them in twain based on whether or not they worship Trump's ball sack or not.
		And then guess what?
		They're the new fucking globalists, and we just do it over and over and over again based on instead of, oh, now we're evangelicals.
		Now it's, oh, you're not my type of evangelical.
		You're a megachurch evangelical.
		Guess what?
		You're out of the Republican Party, too.
		Like, it's fucking obvious.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yes, this is the mentality.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Alex is just a part of, like, it always ends up this way.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		No, it's just.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Division leads to more division, leads to more division.
		Yep.
		So Alex in this next club, he starts taking some calls, and he gets a caller who is trying to give Alex proof that a major quarantine in the United States is about to happen.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And the proof that he provides, I think, is thin.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Big prep for incoming outbreak.
		Repeat what you were saying.
		You're watching this around the country, not just in Idaho.
		But the group's prepping for what again?
		What?
unidentified		Well, basically, I still have connections back in the Bay Area in California.
		And so they're doing an emergency job fair for commercial truck drivers for liquid O2 and CO2.
		Normally, you wouldn't think anything of that, but you're like, why so specific?
		But because of what's going on with the coronavirus, they know what's coming.
		And so this is what they're getting ready for it.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Or maybe not.
		I don't know.
		That's not proof of anything.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Normally, you wouldn't think that's suspicious.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		And I will continue to do that.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		This weekend, there are multiple job fairs in Chicago.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		For CDL?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		For specific fields.
		Some of them are in the healthcare field.
		Some of them are for school bus drivers.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, school bus drivers.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		They're the ones carrying the most viruses.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I mean, this is just nonsense.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But Alex, you know, he jumps off from this and tries to justify why he believes that this outbreak is the real deal, as opposed to in the past when it was all fake, even though in the past he's said it was real, but the globalists are doing it.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
		It's weird.
		His nonspecific terms that he uses around what's real and what's fake, it's all so indecipherable that it to the point of not mattering.
		But anyway, this one's real and very bad.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Until it's fake.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Well, it will be eventually.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		This isn't normal because they're not hyping it, but the real ground-level action is for a crisis.
		Same thing in China.
		Not hyping it, but acting like it's the end of the world.
		Clearly, what is that?
		Videos coming out showing all sorts of men shooting people at checkpoints.
		He'll shoot in homes, piles of dead bodies and body bags.
		Clearly, this is much bigger.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So, like I said, Alex has no precise definition of what he means by the globalists hyping something.
		That's such a nonspecific idea that he can just throw it around however he likes.
		Like even if the World Health Organization and the media are covering this outbreak, he can say that they're not hyping it enough because they're not saying things like it's over for humanity.
unidentified		There will only be lone survivors.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		They're not hyping it.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		If they hired Flavor Flave, then we're golden.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		And there's no complaints about hype.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		They're not hyping it.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Like my friend, the health ranger, does.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		He wasn't hyping.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		He was keeping it secret while at the same time treating it like it's a very big deal.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		This is all just manipulation tactics to justify the conclusions that Alex is already operating off.
		And that conclusion is that this is a civilization-level threat, which is actually a bioweapon deployed by the globalists.
		You should be very scared of it.
		And the only solution is buying all of the products that Alex sells.
		That's legitimately the entire game.
		So the stories that he's talking about, that woman being shot at a checkpoint is based on an unconfirmed video someone tweeted.
		I have no idea if it's real or not.
		And it's not even a video of her being shot.
		It's just someone on the ground who appears to have been shot.
		I have no idea if it's real.
		And the last few times in this whole coronavirus season of Alex's show, I've seen things being posted that are very old videos that people are recirculating, claiming to be current.
		I don't know if that's the case here, and neither does Alex.
		He doesn't care to know because assuming it's real and current helps him sell the fear that he needs to sell his products.
		Someone being told to stay in their home if they're sick isn't really a bizarre story.
		So I don't really know how that's being presented as some kind of outrage.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Not sure what the angle is.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, if Alex points to a video of somebody getting shot and saying that it's current, I want a fucking newspaper in that video.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Otherwise, I'm going to assume it was from 12 years ago and it's bullshit.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		No one being shot over is good.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Not dismissing it.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I agree.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I'm just saying that that's how they exploit it.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		The applicability is tough here.
		The stuff about the crematoriums and body bags is all stuff Alex is reporting from an article on Michael Snyder's Economic Collapse blog, which was recently pushing the chicken vaccine patent narrative, along with other meme-based outbreak conspiracies.
		All the stuff that's on this site, his site, it's based on the same sort of evidence.
		Alleged photos and possibly out-of-context quotes from people in the epoch times.
		None of this rises to the level of solid reporting, as best as I can tell.
		It's really hard to get solid information about this situation, but that's not an excuse to traffic in hearsay and speculation.
		The main reason why you're seeing this type of reporting out of all of these right-wing blogs and websites is because they have very low standards for what they accept as proven, and they've cultivated audiences that don't care if they're constantly wrong.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		And at this point, also, they're all selling food, apparently.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Probably a lot of them are.
		A lot of them are.
		So I don't know.
		Alex can say all this stuff about like, it's obviously way worse because I've seen all these things.
		Some of them are memes, and some of them are absolutely old videos being recirculated and being repurposed as about the coronavirus.
		Some of them are stories like the chicken vaccine patent that Alex still thinks is real.
		There are these things.
		And there are things that are anecdotal.
		Like if you see a picture of some place that has two body bags in it, you, in your mind, assume, well, there must be a lot more.
		Whereas it could just be two people died in this hospital.
		So you can't run on anecdotal stuff in terms of assessing the scale or scope of any of this.
		And Alex does.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Cut to 15 years from now.
		We would like to welcome our new director of the World Health Organization, Alex.
		Harpe Dunkedo.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Oh, better choice.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Alex starts talking here about how I didn't cut a clip of this, but earlier Alex was ranting about how when Trump calls him, which he doesn't, but when he used to call him, Alex would be like, I don't need recognition.
		I don't need you to pat me on the head.
		I just want you to get the globalists.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Alex mirrors that theme here.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Trump knows the average person just wants recognition.
		And that's great.
		People will get their arms and legs blown off for medals.
		Or at least that's what Trump thinks.
		That's not why they really did it.
		That's why for most people, it's embarrassing to get those medals.
		I want victory over these people because I know they're evil.
		They're trying to dominate my soul and my will.
		And I'm fighting against that.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think that's about Rush.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think that's about Rush Limbogging.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, getting out of medal.
		I didn't get a medal.
		Rush got a medal.
		Oh, all he did was get cancer.
		I can get cancer.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think it's just more deflection of like, I'm not motivated by that.
		I just want to get the globalists.
		It's embarrassing for most people to get medals.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		After we listened to the Piers Morgan follow-up at the gun shop where he's like, hey, we should have you back on the show.
		We had really great ratings.
		You should have me back on the show.
		I'm not about it.
		Like, fuck off.
		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I went there and I confronted him.
		And then the video was like, hey, man, we had a great time.
		Hey, ratings were up.
		You should have me back on.
		I don't know about that.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, fuck off.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Alex gets to talking about how, like, really, it is all just about defeating the globalists for him.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And he's been very consistent about that, though some people have not.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		That's why they're all over the news at that time going, get rid of Jones, take him off air, sue him, destroy him.
		Don't let the president see any Alex Jones.
		Don't let him talk to Alex Jones.
		Because I'm like, you cannot trust the people you brought in.
		And I had conversations with other folks who were talking to the president at the time.
		They're like, well, don't talk bad about John Bolton.
		You know, I've had a lot of drinks with him and played poker with him.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		That's definitely Roger Stone.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely Roger Stone.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		And I said, listen, he's against everybody.
		Stop thinking that.
		And later it's been proven right.
		So, yes, that's all I've told the president to do is remove all these enemies around him.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		No, you didn't.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		No, you did not.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You did not.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Not even a little.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You believed Roger Stone 100%.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Hook line and single.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		100%.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Every single word Roger Stone whispered in your ear, rat fucking you like a monster.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You asshole.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Owen's been in there sitting along, not contributing too much, but to each according to his ability.
		Sure.
		Alex wants to talk some culture issues with him.
		And Owen's got an interesting take on why culture was better than the past.
unidentified		You kind of just sit here and you open your eyes and you're just like, well, what is this?
		Nobody likes this.
		Well, of course, nobody likes it.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		It's not about giving you what you want.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		It's about horse feeding.
unidentified		Yeah, ingraining that into children's minds, too.
		So children think that they think, oh, that's normal.
		So, you know, children aren't growing up seeing the Clint Eastwoods.
		They're not growing up seeing the Elvis Presleys.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		They're not growing up seeing the John Waynes.
unidentified		They're growing up seeing Nas in a female cowboy outfit.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He's talking about like Lila.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Lil Nas X.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he's not talking about Nas.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		No.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		What do those three old-time role models have in common?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		They were all dead before Owen Schroer was ever born.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Some identifying identifying characteristics.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Hey, let's see.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's hard to put my finger on.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		So we've got Clint Eastwood.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		We've got Elvis Presley.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, John Wayne.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		And we got John Wayne.
		Well, let's see.
		One of them was gay.
		The other one stole all his music from black people.
		And then Clint Eastwood talked to a chair.
		I think we're good.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		All right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Something unites.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Sure, sure, sure.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Something unites those things.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I think that's what it is.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I'm not sure exactly what it is.
		So anyway, Alex sells his silver more, and I really think he's playing with fire the way he, and it's even evolved since the last time we talked about this.
		Like, not the last time we talked on this episode, but, you know, a couple episodes back, I was mentioning, like, he's getting weird about this.
		It's evolving.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		I don't make claims without showing you.
		I was only authorized to do this about a week and a half ago.
		And I'll show TV viewers an overcam of this.
		The Texas A ⁇ M University Health System Center.
		This is, again, confidential.
		And it's the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge.
		And it goes over the fact that they are looking at this U.S. Department of Army, Headquarters, United States Operations Command.
		That's out of Florida.
		And Andrew Schwarzenegger.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Here's what the address is.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		And they go on to say that the Pentagon and AM and others have found that the American Biotech Labs LLC patented nano-silver has been found to knock out the SARS at levels better than anything else they'd found at that time.
		It's 2007.
		And of course, the coronavirus is in the whole SARS family.
		It's the antecedent of it it comes, or the progenitor of it.
		It's not that's the type of stuff we sell and what we bring to you.
		The truth is, any silver from our research helps with this stuff.
		This is just the best stuff you're going to find out there.
		Infowarstore.com.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think he might be flying too close to the sun here.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that one's pretty blatant.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Because as best I can tell from the documents that he showed on camera, it was not them saying the nano silver has been proven.
		It's this product head, the gel had been.
		You can't apply claims just because they have the same ingredient in it.
		Because the ingredient is at different levels.
		It's formulated different.
		It's taken up in different parts of the body.
		It might not be, according to the FDA, according to trials, clinical trials, it might not be internally effective.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Hey.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It might only be topically effective.
		You can't play this game.
		And it's a game Alex is playing very clearly.
		I don't know.
		We'll see what happens.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		If you can't afford the nano silver, just start eating silver dollars.
		It's not 100% silver.
		It probably won't kill you.
		You might pass it someday.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Knowledge fight does not stand behind these medical claims.
		So one of the phenomena that I see a lot is Alex will start going down some road, and then you'll see his callers mirror it.
		Oftentimes, it takes a couple days when he starts doing something weird for his callers to be like, hey, you know what?
		I like that.
		In this case, it's pretty quick.
unidentified		And what I want to see President Trump do is step up like any self-respecting big game hunter and finish off the Democrat.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So you see callers calling in and saying, I mean, obviously he's using a metaphor.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He's not saying that Trump should shoot the Democrats.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		He's not saying he should step on their throats and fire into their.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He should finish the job.
		He's mirroring Alex's desire to see the elimination and outlawing and banishing of the Democratic Party.
		So you see, it's just very, it's very fast.
		Alex is pushing that pretty hard on this episode, and I think the callers hear it and get it.
		So now Alex has a guest.
		He also has Owen Schroyer sitting in studio, and he's got a guest.
		And I feel a little weird about this.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Well, Deanna Lorraine is going to be riding shot down with us for the next hour.
		She's running against Nancy Pelosi and has been pulling off some really great stunts, you want to call it that, to expose that monster.
		We're going to her in just a moment.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So this candidate who's running against Nancy Pelosi, apparently, has pretty much guaranteed that she's not going to win by appearing on InfoWars.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		This is not a good tactical decision on her part, but it's a good way to get some attention in specific communities.
unidentified		Yeah, they said that about Trump, Dan.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't know much about Deanna Lorraine, but I do know the people who have been gunning for the female Congress members in California for quite a while, namely Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters.
		One of the people who was doing so was Omar Navarro, who used to come on Infowars a bunch and talk about how he was going to beat Maxine Waters, which he never succeeded in doing.
		And he's never going to, because Omar Navarro is currently in custody, facing multiple charges for stalking his ex-girlfriend who had put out restraining orders against him.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Sure, sure.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		His ex-girlfriend, coincidentally, is Diana Lorraine.
		Obviously, I empathize with her for what she had to endure, the abuse that was subjected to her by Omar Navarro.
		None of that is her fault.
		It's just interesting to see her going the exact same route that Navarro did politically.
		She's running a completely doomed campaign against a longtime congressperson in California and promoting herself on Infowars, which seems weird.
		She can't possibly expect to win, but for the best I can tell, it's got to be some sort of a publicity stunt.
		Alex says that she's been pulling publicity stunts.
		It seems like it might be a cash grab, and maybe she learned that from Omar Navarro.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Hey.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Talking about Navarro to the Daily Beast, Lorraine said, quote, I think a lot of this power has gotten to his head.
		He has a lot of money now from campaign donations.
		I think there's an entire possibility that you recognize you run a doomed campaign where you try and get a little bit of mud thrown on the rivals of big political donors on the right who are going to fund you, even though they know you're going to lose.
		It's just they get a lot of money that way.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		And the only way you get indicted for campaign finances abuse is if you make too much money or you accidentally win, like that dumb asshole who vaped all the time.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		The vape guy?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That vape guy, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So I don't know.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's really complicated for me because I obviously don't think that any of the negative aspects of her association with Omar Navarro are her fault.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Like, I wouldn't point the finger at her for that.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He's an asshole who stalked her.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, fuck that guy.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I just think it's fascinating that both sides of that equation are running against California Democratic congress people, and they both choose to promote themselves on Infowars.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Hey, it's weird.
		You get a grift, you find the grift, and you keep it going.
		That's the simple tactic.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's very strange to me.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't really know how to handle it, honestly.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I start running against leftist candidates or Nancy Pelosi.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Alex has Lorraine on, and they talk a bit about how she's going to beat Nancy Pelosi, which she's not.
		Of course not.
		Not a chance.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Nope.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I'm not saying that someone couldn't, but it's not a Republican.
unidentified		No.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		No, it's not her.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		No, it's doubtful.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I see zero chance of that.
		So they talk about that a little bit, and who cares?
		It's blustery nonsense.
		But they end up taking some calls, and this caller calls in, and she is saying that she had a health situation in the past that she recovered from, but now she thinks that it might have been the Wuhan coronavirus, and that a lot of people maybe, just maybe, have been getting that coronavirus for a long time and recovering, and we just didn't know it was here.
		It's a long-term game.
		And this is weird.
unidentified		Maybe the virus has been here already for quite some time.
		And the people who've been getting it and surviving it, it's been crippling those.
		And that's kind of why the global cooperation and the quarantine measures really don't match up with each other because they know it's.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		I know.
		There's been a bunch of weird respiratory stuff going around.
		I killed three of my family six years ago in two weeks.
		They all got it within a few weeks.
		We should all die within a month.
		So you don't have to tell me I absolutely agree with you.
		And that's Owen got really sick respiratory when he got locked up at AC Jail.
		There's a lot of stuff going on out there.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't know about the precise details of Alex's family members or anything like that.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I would just say that there's some examples of people who have gotten things that Alex is talking about, and all of them are opposed to vaccines.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, I mean, hey.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		What are you going to do?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's an interesting cross-section of like Alex's family and Owen Schroer, who works for Alex.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Dan.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		All aggressive anti-vaccination communities.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		If you die of a disease that you could have been vaccinated against, that's God's will, Dan.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		You're not taking those globalist vaccines to live past when God said that you should die.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Man, the guy who proved that ulcers were caused by bacteria did so basically by ingesting a shit ton of bacteria and then curing it.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I challenge her to infect herself with the coronavirus.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You mean this caller?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Well, I don't know if we'll be able to track her down.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I challenge her to double.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		She's a listener of our show.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Fair enough.
unidentified		So I don't.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I wasn't all that interested in Deanna Lorraine and her appearance on the show.
		And I almost would have just ignored it entirely, probably.
		I wouldn't have even brought up the fact that she had restraining orders against Omar Navarro, all that.
		I probably would have just left it all alone because she's someone who is running against Nancy Pelosi as a Republican in California.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Not going to happen.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It does not seem like it's going to work.
		So I would have just been like, ah, who cares?
		But then she says a bunch of stuff, and I'm like, nah, got to talk about her because she thinks that this coronavirus is a bioweapon.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Ms. Lorraine, please comment on the coronavirus.
deanna lorraine ▲ ● ▼		Oh, gosh.
		I mean, you know, they are so not telling us the truth about it.
		There's so many lies.
		I feel like there's absolutely some manufacturing going on.
		I think that it probably was a manufactured virus.
		And, you know, I mean, look, it's just very convenient that it happens to come out right at this time and it happens to influence these areas.
		It's very odd.
		So I have, I don't think anything is coincidental.
		And I think it's probably manufactured.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Well, I don't regularly be conclusive, but I can tell you decisively, major universities that do this studied it and said it's got the HIV delivery system on.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Retracted.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		It's been manufactured.
		And then the U.S. Biological Weapons Treaty author comes out and says it.
		And then all this other stuff.
		Always says something.
		This is something else.
		That's all I'm saying.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Alex is saying that this is definitive based on this study that's retracted and inconclusive, not peer-reviewed.
		Can't really use this as proof of anything.
		And Francis Boyle, the guy who says this all the fucking time on your show.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but he was right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		No.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, okay.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So I don't know.
		All of this, like, oh, it's definitive.
		It's concrete.
		It is not.
		None of this stuff he's talking about means anything.
		But it is interesting.
		I think this might hurt Lorraine.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		In the general?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I bet she won't make it out of the primary.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		You don't think so?
		No.
		There's going to be a red wave that gets rid of Nancy Pelosi in her seat.
		I don't know, man.
		Well, they'll probably.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I mean, like, look, I mean, Pelosi is ripe for critique, certainly.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, she should be kicked the fuck out.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		There's a lot of things that certainly from the left and from the right.
		People have a number of complaints about her.
		And certainly that tearing up the speech at the end of the State of the Union.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		So brave.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So brave.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		So brave to send a message to Trump.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I hate paper.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So sure.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think there's a lot of complaints.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Some of them valid, some of them from Alex, not so valid.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Not so valid.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Here's one of those.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		This isn't a joke.
		This is an InfoWars.com article just went up.
		Bitter Pelosi claims Trump was drugged during State of the Union.
		It looked to me like he was a little sedated.
		Here it is.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Oh, how young we were when Alex and Roger Stone were saying that Trump was speaking weird at speeches and rallies because the globalists drugged slow-acting sedatives in his diet cokes.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Oh, how innocent that was and how offensive it is for Pelosi to suggest he was on a sedate.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		How dare she say the thing that we said?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		What are we doing?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		What are we doing?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So I feel like you want to leave.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And if that's the case, you and Owen Shroyer have something in common because he doesn't want to be doing this anymore.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Good for him.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He has a show to do of his own later.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And Alex will not let him leave.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Let's ram through a bunch of calls here.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Owen, by the way, you were trying to go.
unidentified		Yeah, Alex won't let me go.
unidentified		I'm supposed to host the war room for three hours from three to six.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		And Alex is like, no, you stay with Tolrock.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		You stay with Coco.
unidentified		Destroy and Baroness Jones, Ask Deanna.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		We got a lot of Sanuel.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You got a lot of good stuff coming up on the war room today.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Again, Alex cannot frame what he's doing except by the bad guy.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Being the bad guy.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		There's no, like, why wouldn't you be G.I. Joe?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Why are you Cobra?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		You know who my favorite people in the show, Captain Planet, were pollution?
		None of those fuckers who had their goddamn rings are that guy.
		He's blue.
		Get him out of here.
		What more globalist proof do you need than he looks like the globe?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		The foot was actually the good guys in the ninja turtle.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		This is strangely consistent, like Alex just being and identifying with the villain.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		You know, there's a difference between anti-hero and the most evil person that could be.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And G.I. Joe with Cobra is again, like, that's another one of those.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Like, there's no ambiguity here.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Nope.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		This is a very clear-cut case of good and bad.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Especially if you are a United States-loving fucking patriot, you would think that G.I. Joe would be your hero, right?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's a small factor of this, too.
		I think this one, and I mean, maybe even it's the case with the Star Wars one, too.
		It's just like, there's only a few impressions Alex can do.
		That's fair.
		So maybe it does.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Maybe if he could do a really good Willy Walker, he'd be a nice man.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Maybe it's just the impressions that led him down this dark path.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		What if it is?
		What if it's like, these are the only skills I have?
		I can embody these couple voices.
unidentified		I can do it, or I could tragic.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Tragic.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		If only someone would have taught him Obi Wan Kenobi.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That would, man, you really start to think about Calvinism, whatever you hear.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		A lot of predetermination in Alex's abilities to do impressions.
		So Alex takes more calls after Owen leaves.
		And I think this call is really interesting because I think it really embodies a caller who is so close to understanding that Trump is stringing people along to get re-elected.
		It's so close.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I love those guys.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		This guy is one hair away.
unidentified		I love him.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So close.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I love him, and they're never going to get there.
unidentified		You know, we're all like five-year-olds waiting on Christmas for Trump to do something to these guys.
		And what I was going to say is, I just think that he's waiting until his second term.
		I don't think they were going to let him.
		He knows if he did something, it could go against him on that second term.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		How?
unidentified		So I think he's holding out.
		There's too many people on the fans.
		What's your thoughts on that, Al?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		No, I totally agree.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So he's so close to understanding that, like, he's waiting until he gets re-elected to do anything.
		Jesus.
		That's the classic thing.
		It's like, yeah, of course I'll do that.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no, no.
		As soon as I'm re-elected.
		I'll lock her up.
unidentified		I'll lock her up.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's the first thing I'm going to do.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		As soon as I'm elected, I'll lock her up.
		Well, I can't do it.
		I don't have the political capital until my second term.
unidentified		Right.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Jesus.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		And totally.
		It's tragic to me the way in which that's like, oh, man, you almost get it.
		Well, you do get it.
		You're just delusional.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		You're deluding yourself into thinking that, like, yeah, this time for real, it'll be whenever he gets back in, it's all going down.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		No one wants to admit they got conned.
unidentified		Nope.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It is, it reminds me of that.
		Like, if you okay, when will you get to the line if every step you take is halfway there?
		Right.
		You know, they're just never going to get there.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's just never going to happen.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Nope.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And it turns out that Deanna is also on this tip of like Trump probably in the next term.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Oh, for sure.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He's probably going to do it.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Any moment.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And she has a very specific thing that she wants to happen to Trump's enemies.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And if you're aware of the larger conspiracy ecosystem, what she wants to happen tells you about what she believes.
deanna lorraine ▲ ● ▼		I really hope that he's holding all that wrath and justice for a second term because I can't take it anymore.
		I'm getting really impatient here.
		And we need justice.
		I mean, that's why we elected him into office so that we can actually get justice and get these bad people in Gitmo or behind bars where they belong.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		She's into QAnon.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Release those sealed indictments, Dan.
		There's 23,000.
		Have they moved up yet?
		Did he not write any more sealed indictments?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		The saying that they need to be sent to Gitmo is a strong indicator of that's what they talk about a lot.
		That's the Q thing of like all of these Adam Schiff and Christopher Strzok or whatever.
		All of these people are going to be Mueller.
		They're all going to Gitmo.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Obama.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		They're all going to Guantanamo.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And that's, you know, that's why Trump's not closing Guantanamo, too.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Also, see, I don't think Q even knows how many cells there are in Gitmo.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Plenty for all the globalists.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I really don't think so.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Plenty of them.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's not as big as we think.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		When she's saying things like that, it's just a clear indication.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Like, oh, you're into the Q stuff.
unidentified		Jesus.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
		So I have one last caller.
		And I think that it's interesting the way this caller phrases what he wants Trump to do.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Tim, what do you want to see when Trump gets re-elected?
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		What do you want to see day one?
unidentified		I want to see him unleash the Kraken.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I've heard that before.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Dan Badondi?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I think so.
		I think so.
		He wants Trump to send it.
		Dan Badanti is out.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He wants to send Dan Badondi somewhere.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Weird.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Thank you for re-electing me.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So wait.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Dan Badondi is freed.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So if I understand correctly, Dan Badandi is the solution to the globalists.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I didn't know that, but now it makes so much sense.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Alex says a lot.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's almost too obvious.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Alex talks about this a little more.
		And it's so funny to me to know that that is the way he talked about Dan Badanti.
		Dan Badanti's nickname was the Kraken.
		Alex responds to this guy's call without any awareness of the fact that he's being sued, right?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		The Kraken never worked for me, by the way.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		In case you were wondering, he needs to release the Kraken, but that is not an employee of him.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Certainly not.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		That's exactly what I was told: that Trump intends to release the Kraken once he's re-elected.
		I was told that by somebody very close to president.
		So we'll see how it happens.
		And of course, the Kraken brings destruction on evil cities.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		No!
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Like a new town?
unidentified		No.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That's not how the Kraken works.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		The Kraken is a cold, unfeeling monster that tears apart everything in its path.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So Alex saying that he's heard this in the second term is now him just feeding into the exact same wish fulfillment narratives that other caller was very close to recognizing is characteristic of what's going on.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's just very sad.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's a sad day.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's such a thing that they're primed for, and they have been for so long.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And I think more than just Trump supporters are, too.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It feels a human impulse.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Of course.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		But I mean, especially Infowars listeners, just on account of how many years have we been waiting for the summer of rage.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Summer of rage.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Summer of rage is about to collapse.
unidentified		Right.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's coming here.
		Okay.
		Well, it didn't this time, but next time it's coming.
		They're still planning it.
		They're 10 years long.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Have been suppressing the price of gold forever and it's about to all fall.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Well, it didn't this time, but it's going to next time.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Uh-huh.
		Yeah, among other things.
		It's so characteristic of their style of rhetoric their broadcast that, yeah, absolutely.
		You're sitting ducks for that sort of thing.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		And we did it too when Obama was elected, where we're going like, he's going to actually do something about the bankers.
		He's going to actually do something about the bug.
		He's going to close Guantanamo Bay, the very thing that we were just talking about.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I think.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		And it never happened.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think you could get wrapped up in that, and I think a lot of people did.
		But I do think, and I'm sure there are parts of the right that you just never hear from that respond similarly.
		But from a lot of the left that I'm more familiar with and aware of, there was more of a hope that that was what was going to happen.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But not like a, this is definitely like he's going to be a lot of people.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That's very good point.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That's a really good point.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But I'm certain there are some Republicans who are the same way.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		For sure.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Hoping these things like, I don't know, Medicare goes away.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I don't want Social Security when I'm older.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		They hope that Trump will accomplish those things, but they don't look at it in the same way of like, if he gets re-elected, he'll release the Kraken.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		All I'm saying, Dan, is that I am on a fixed income and I would very much like my president to take it away from me.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
		Sure.
		It's good thinking.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So anyway, we get to the end of this episode.
		And I think there's a, you know, there's an interesting thing that's going on.
		The not interesting thing is certainly the continuing of the coronavirus stuff.
unidentified		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And the, let's say, consistent thread of it all being soft and weak.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		That's not all that interesting, but it's my charge, I guess, to keep tracking it as it goes along.
		Also, very sad that there wasn't the in-studio surgery.
		Sorry that I got your hopes up there.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That is a disappointment.
		You really got me.
		You really did get me.
		I trusted you for so long, and you leveraged it for that one moment.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		That's been a three-year prank.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It is a good one.
		It is a good one.
		End of show.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And the other thing, too, is the continuing of the food sales.
		Clearly, it's going well, and Alex is leaning into that.
		And the escalating, I would say, dangerous way he's selling the silver.
		Not necessarily dangerous to people because I don't know if it really would harm them to take it.
		Maybe they don't have the money to buy it, and he's hurting them that way.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Entirely possible, yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But it's not so much that he's jeopardizing people's health by promoting the silver, except for maybe as an opportunity cost.
		Well, because you'd be like, don't get vaccinated, take the silver, and maybe that would be bad.
		But it's not that.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's the woman sending your last five bucks to a prosperity gospel preacher where you're like, fuck, fuck you.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		You're an evil person.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's dangerous.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		The person giving the $5, obviously.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		No, it's dangerous on that front.
		But what I more mean is the way he's engaging in salesmanship is dangerous to his own interests.
		And I do see that trend continuing and maybe even getting worse.
		I'm interested to see how bad it can get.
		I have a sense that he'll sort of stick around this point for a while.
		I don't know if he'll go any further, but I don't know if he would.
		I don't even know if there would be any consequences if he did go further.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That's a good question.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think the fact that he's so public and such a high-profile person, he might get in trouble.
		But I was reading some article from like 2013 where a guy who was, I can't remember his name, but he was a guy who was in the FDA and he was talking to, I don't know, maybe I think it was Business Insider.
		I don't know.
		Some publication.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Some business.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Maybe the week.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Who knows?
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, sure.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And he was saying that like 70% of supplement manufacturers are marketing their products in a purpose.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Illegally, yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And so like there's a decent chance that so much of this just doesn't ever get anybody in any trouble.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I was going to say, I was like, how many cases in the past year has the FDA brought?
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Probably a ton that you've never heard of.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Maybe, maybe.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I think they also have a lot of issues to deal with.
		That might not be the highest priority for them.
		Right.
		I don't know.
		And so there's a decent chance.
		That's another reason why I don't want to snitch because there's a possibility you do that and it doesn't matter.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Right, right, right, right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		But yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		You want to still have some faith in the system working.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, so I'm interested to see where that goes, like even in the next while.
		It's entirely possible he could get worse on that or stay in the same place.
		And then this trend of the Democratic Party has got to go is a very disheartening turn.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		What's most terrifying about it is the propensity that we've seen for the right-wing news media to recycle or to take these horrifying things from the hard right and just kind of like smooth them into rounded edges.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		So people in the ostensibly he's in the middle, you know, you're talking to a middle-of-the-road Republican and somehow Tucker manages to use language in such a way that they're like, well, you know, I used to think that the two-party system required the Democrats, but now he's making a good argument for the Prime Minister.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		We could just split the GOP.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		We could just split the GOP.
		You know what?
		I don't like those hard right guys.
		Some of those guys are Nazis.
		I think I'm the Democrat now, as long as we get rid of all the Democrats.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I mean, there are other flaws to the two-party system that I, you know, I have itself.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Like, there's a whole bunch of other issues that I think are important, but certainly aren't relevant to this Alex's shit.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I mean, like, it's, it is, it is worrying.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I'm not entirely sure if this is something that would trickle because it's so fucking overtly out of line.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		That's a good point.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And I think one of the things that makes it so out of line is that I think that there is a valid way that you can behave this way and not be authoritarian.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Like, let's say we need to destroy this party by winning all of the elections.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		We need to supercharge organizing in states, looking down ballot.
		We need to get to a point where we make them irrelevant through democracy, showing that our ideas are better than theirs.
		Our candidates are better.
		Like, there is a way to talk about destroying your opposition without saying Trump should outlaw it.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Right.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's not like the country was born with only Democrats and Republicans.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		There was a Democratic Republic.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, exactly.
		We've had so many political parties.
		The know-nothings, although they were more like, oh, shit.
		We've been here before.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		So it's not so much, I mean, to clarify a tiny bit, it's not so much the idea of getting rid of this party that is the problem.
		It's the means by which you seek to do it that is markedly and specifically authoritarian.
		And that's a problem.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Like when the know-nothings used to beat the shit out of their political opponents.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		There's that.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's not surprising to hear from Alex, but it is troubling.
		And I worry about where it might go.
		Because, I mean, this trend that we've been seeing for at least the last couple months has been like everything is downward.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Like everything is downward.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And I wonder, I'm spitballing here.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Let's hear it.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I'm wondering if all of these sales that he's getting by way of the coronavirus sensationalism, all the food buckets that he's moving, presumably this increased silver sales.
		I'm wondering if the thing that was driving him towards being so much more extreme was the desperation of running out of money.
		If all of these sales are happening and his numbers are looking better, will that trend not continue?
		I'm seeing the answer is no.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I was going to say.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		He did well on the sales clearly on this episode, and now he's saying outlaw the Democratic Party.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		No, what I, I mean, I was going to say that earlier is one reason that I think the shit about the virus is so weak is because the sales are so good, even if he's peddling lazy nonsense.
		Memes.
		Why would he even bother doing any more research?
		He can just say, Corona's coming to kill you, and I've got the documents.
		Buy silver.
		Like, it's so easy for him.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It does seem that way.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		It's upsetting.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's very upsetting.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		I'm bummed out.
		But we'll see what happens.
		I mean, even as much of a bummer as that is, like, it's still, you know, I hate to go through all of this to do another episode, you know, fast turnaround time.
		We're recording this on Thursday.
		This is Thursday's episode and all that.
		But like, still a big relief that Alex is back in studio because then I know he's in Austin for one.
		I know where he is.
unidentified		Right, right.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		We got to have an eye on him at all times.
		In our world, we need to know where he's at.
		For one.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		And for two, all these other people are so fucking incompetent that like, even as terrible as he is, he's still so much better at this than the rest of those ding-dongs who work at Infowars.
		So anyway, welcome back to studio, Alex.
		Hope you had a great vacation.
		Sorry you got a fever.
		Your silver did not cure you.
		Hope the FDA doesn't come after you and we'll be back.
		Until then, we have a website.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		We do.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's knowledgefight.com.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's right.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		We're also on Twitter.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		We are on Twitter.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		It's at KnowledgeUnderscore Fight, NotGo to Bed Jordan.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		We are also on Facebook.
unidentified		We are on Facebook.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		And if you'd like to download the show, please go to iTunes or wherever podcastual apps are sold and download, subscribe, review, donate, do the whole thing.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		We love it.
dan friesen ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, for sure.
		We will be back.
		But until next time, I'm Neo.
		I'm Leo.
		I'm DZ Clark.
		I think Trump swearing is important.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
alex jones ▲ ● ▼		Thanks for holding.
unidentified		Hello, Alex.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I'm a first-time caller.
unidentified		I'm a huge fan.
jordan holmes ▲ ● ▼		I love your work.
