Knowledge Fight’s #439 episode dissects Alex Jones’ May 29–31, 2020 broadcasts, where he falsely blamed Soros and China ("SHICOMs") for Minneapolis protests, ignoring KARE 11’s jail records showing local arrestees. Jones peddled debunked claims—like Omar Jimenez’s secret China ties or bricks delivered by Soros operatives—while cherry-picking FBI crime stats to push racist narratives. He amplified a Dallas beating as white victimhood, despite the armed attacker’s role, and promoted Millie Weaver’s baseless "IIA operation" election conspiracy. The hosts mock his hypocrisy, fearmongering, and profit-driven extremism, warning his rhetoric fuels violence and distracts from real systemic issues. [Automatically generated summary]
If you're out there listening and you're thinking, hey, I enjoy this show.
I'd like to support what these gents do, you can do that by going to our website, knowledgefight.com, clicking the button to support the show, or more importantly, probably find a local charity in your area, perhaps a bail fund for protesters around this country and take that generosity and throw it in that direction.
It's Friday of last week, Saturday and Sunday to get us fully up to speed where we are as things have escalated and deteriorated in many cities around the country.
We'll see what Alex's take on it is.
But before we do, here's an out-of-context drop from today's show.
Documenting this, and here's an article that I've promoted probably 500 times on air since 2018.
Documents to tell plan for civil unrest and martial law in Baltimore, Maryland.
Leaked documents show to tell plan to trigger nationwide unrest, allowing Obama to declare martial law in 2018.
One month after we got these documents, it was confirmed by federal law enforcement.
They were accurate.
The media never disputed them.
Trends of Democracy run by Alexander Soros.
Trying to trigger with antifa operatives, black Americans, rioting as the cover to overthrow major city governments so Obama would have a pretext to declare national martial law in 2018.
So I had a little prediction while I was watching things unfold on Thursday and Friday night, and that was that Alex is now going to have to take things a little more seriously, like I said, and thus we're about to start hearing more about Soros again.
This is the value of Alex's strategy of having his whole list of villains that he can pull out whenever he needs to.
For the last four months or so, Soros has been kind of on the back burner because the relevant kind of fear he was trying to exploit in his audience wasn't really germane to the characterization of Soros.
The medical tyranny and the evils of vaccines, those are in the Bill Gates wheelhouse.
So Alex focused almost entirely on Bill and Melinda Gates, and, of course, the new villain, Anthony Fauci.
Please remember that the first time Alex mentioned Fauci on an emergency broadcast on February 8th, Alex was pretending that Fauci had said that they were investigating if the coronavirus was man-made and that he was a hero within the administration.
Once it became clear that this was all bullshit that Alex was making up, Alex pretended he never said any of those things and Fauci became a longtime Gates employee who was trying to kill everyone.
Alex even decided that Bill Gates was the head of the New World Order and had been for the past 12 years or so.
Alex claimed that Gates reportedly had been a committed Satanist at the age of 10 and he was taking over with his pink sweater.
It was the season of going very hard against Gates and Soros got very little play.
Now that we have societal unrest and protesting, we now find ourselves outside of the Gates wheelhouse.
Alex can't credibly claim that Bill Gates is paying Antifa protesters to go around and cause trouble because his audience already has been trained to really only associate that narrative with Soros.
And thus, as Alex opens his show on Friday, Soros is called off the bench.
As anyone who's listened to our show for any stretch of time knows, these Soros Antifa contracts Alex is talking about are very fake.
One of the least competent underlings Alex has, Harrison Smith, found them on 4chan.
No federal law enforcement has ever confirmed they're real.
Alex is making that up.
Also, I'm not sure what he means when he says no media has ever disputed them because we're media and I sure as shit dispute them.
I've disputed them this whole time very publicly and mock the very idea of someone drawing up a contract to start riots.
The notion that that's something that anyone would ever put down into paper is laughable.
The reason you enter into a contract with someone is so that you can take action against them in court if they fail to live up to their obligations.
A contract would serve literally zero purpose if someone failed to start a riot.
It's fucking stupid.
I would assume the absence of coverage of these fake documents in the larger media is more a function of them being completely and transparently fake.
Seems like something that most media outlets wouldn't waste their time with.
Us, on the other hand, have nothing but time to do it.
So Alex saying that the local police aren't the enemy, that's all good and well, but it's kind of counter to his entire self-mythology.
According to his telling of his own life story, he uncovered an elaborate drug dealing ring in the police department in Dallas, which led to a lawyer calling Alex's dad and telling him that the police were going to kill Alex, and that led to them moving to Austin.
Alex's life story in the beginning of his career is at odds with his current state.
Obviously, I don't believe that that's why Alex moved to Austin, but it's telling that the corrosive effects of supporting Trump has led him to more or less forgetting who he's supposed to be pretending to be.
As for that news item about George Floyd and the cop, Derek Chauvin, knowing each other, that's something that Alex is probably misreporting a bit.
This is something that's based on some comments from Maya Santa Maria, who owned a club in Minneapolis called El Nuevo Rodeo.
She told the local news outlet that both of these men worked at that club, which many folks took to mean that they knew each other and this must have been personal.
This is ignoring the full content of Santa Maria's comments.
Quote, they were working together at the same time.
It's just that Chauvin worked outside and the security guards were inside.
Alex is also wrong about them working together for several years.
Even the Blaze included the information in their article that Floyd only worked there for, quote, roughly a year.
It's definitely interesting, and I'll need to wait till there's more information to draw any strong conclusion from it.
But, I mean, Santa Maria told the local news outlet that she did not know if the two guys knew each other, and it's entirely possible that they didn't.
She said there were dozens of guards on busy nights, like when their shifts would have overlapped, so it's entirely possible that they never met, or if they had, they were only distant acquaintances.
This story is being used by some to try and argue that this was a personal beef, and thus it shouldn't fall into the same category as other instances where a white cop kills an unarmed black person.
I think that's a losing strategy, and it'll ultimately backfire if you think about it for even a second.
If it turns out that this case was something where the cop killed George Floyd for a personal reason while utilizing the power and authority of his badge to protect himself, the situation is far worse than it looked before.
The idea that he felt that he could get away with acting like that in clear view of his co-workers and expected he wouldn't pay any consequences for it.
That's more or less an encapsulation of the problem.
Whether or not these two knew each other is an interesting thing we may learn more about in the future, but regardless, it doesn't change the facts of the situation one bit.
So if Alex is trying to trot that out, or as some kind of, you know, like, this is, oh, it's something else.
So I thought that that was like bad, but it's kind of standard.
I think you're seeing a lot of people float these kinds of things out.
I didn't realize where Alex was going to go from there.
He takes that little bit of misinterpreted news and he just builds on it to the point where it's like, good luck fucking defending this conspiracy theory, Alex.
Yeah, the fact that the cop knew he was being filmed and still behaved the way he did.
In an attempt to explain this away, Alex has decided this must be a case of a police gang who's feuding with another imagined gang that George Floyd was apparently in.
But beyond that, this conspiracy theory really reveals how bad Alex is at his job.
Claiming that this was a gang-involved killing does literally nothing to explain away the thing that he's claiming to find suspicious in the original story.
If this were a gang involved murder, you'd probably assume there'd be even more reason not to do it on film.
And honestly, probably not to do it while you're on shift as a cop in public.
You would think that would ultimately lead to an investigation, which would likely reveal the existence of this cop gang that you're probably trying to keep a secret.
Alex's conspiracy is supposed to explain why the cop did this, even though he knew he was on film, but it doesn't achieve that goal.
All it does is create a possibly more intriguing, but ultimately very difficult to prove distraction from reality.
Because let me tell you, now Alex needs to establish that there is a police gang in Minneapolis, the Wolverines, that this cop was a member of the police gang.
Like, what sort of gang trouble do you think would rise to the level of a cop in uniform killing someone in the street with tons of people around and people recording it?
You'd think it would have to be something really serious.
Like, I don't know, Floyd was going to provide evidence to the Attorney General about the cop gang or something.
You know, you can easily see how this might be fun for conspiracy theorists to think about, but it's pure speculation to avoid a very easy to come up with explanation for why the cop did this, even though he knew he was on tape.
Like, maybe you can make an argument that he didn't actually think that Floyd was going to die, but that still requires you to accept that he took Floyd's words and those of the concerned onlookers not seriously enough to consider.
And it would be very easy to see how he would think that there wouldn't be any consequences.
There rarely are for police who brutalize people of color.
And early in his career, he never even got the chance to learn this lesson.
Tolls told the Daily Beast, quote, if his first reaction was hitting me in the face, then it means I can't see and I'm too disoriented to first locate his gun and then try to take it from him.
And for what?
To turn a misdemeanor, disorderly situation into a felony situation that could have resulted in me dying?
He tried to kill me in that bathroom.
There were no real consequences for this, which teaches a lesson that there aren't consequences for this sort of thing.
He just got paid, he got put on paid administrative leave while there was an investigation that didn't result in any consequences.
I find it substantially easier to believe that a cop with a record like Chauvin's living in an America like the one we've been living in just didn't give a shit about hurting people.
That's easier to believe than this completely baseless conspiracy about imagined feuding gangs that Alex is coming up with.
This is pretty pathetic work on Alex's part, if you really have to look at it.
But you can see how now that he has an angle on the story that he thinks diffuses the race issues, he's completely comfortable dropping the whole like, cop didn't know what he was doing bullshit.
That was only his angle on Thursday because he couldn't come up with anything better to defend whiteness.
That's all he had.
And now he's like, oh, you know, hey, there's probably some sort of an inner gang thing.
It's just so, it's so bald-faced whenever you're attacking the very cornerstone of the all-cops argument, which is that if you want to argue there are good cops, then why are they doing everything humanly possible to protect murderers?
So that's the cornerstone.
And for you to say at me, to my face, they don't suffer bad cops there for very long.
So on Thursday night, protesters in Minneapolis took over the 3rd Precinct police station and set it ablaze.
The image of that was something I could have never imagined being possible.
I never thought in my lifetime I would see a police station captured.
That's where the police are.
That's where they keep their guns.
It did not seem like a possibility.
I was shocked.
Leaving my amazement aside, there have been some responses from business owners in the area, and some are not happy, but others have responded pretty amazingly.
The Gandhi Mahal Indian Restaurant was one of the businesses that caught fire that night.
The owner's daughter posted on Facebook, quote, Don't worry about us.
We will rebuild and we will recover.
Referring to her father, she said, quote, I hear him say on the phone, let my building burn.
Justice needs to be served.
Put those officers in jail.
And then there was the Target, which was the site of the initial looting that so scandalized the right wing.
Their CEO, Brian Connell, put out a press release that started, quote, We are a community in pain.
That pain is not unique to the Twin Cities.
It extends across America.
The murder of George Floyd has unleashed the pent-up pain of years, as have the killings of Ahmad Arbery and Breonna Taylor.
We say their names and hold a too long list of others in our hearts.
As a target team, we've huddled and we've consoled, and we've witnessed a horrific scene similar to what's playing out now and wept that not enough is changing.
As a team, we've vowed to face pain with purpose.
He went on to reaffirm Target's commitment to the affected store and neighborhood.
Quote, our store and HR teams are working with all of our displaced team members, including the more than 200 team members from our Lake Street store in Minneapolis.
We will make sure they have full pay and benefits in the coming weeks, as well as access to other resources and opportunities within Target.
We'll continue to invest in this vibrant crossroads of Seward, Longfellow, Phillips, and Powderhorn communities, preserving jobs and economic opportunities by rebuilding and bringing back the store that has served as a community resource since 1976.
I mean, that's corporate Target talk, but that's still a pretty nice statement.
There are almost certainly some businesses that will be hesitant to reopen or want to relocate, but it's not a universal thing.
Many realize the larger reality of what's going on in the country and are responding by attempting to reaffirm their commitment to the communities they serve.
These are the sorts of voices that are inspiring to hear and kind of allow me to tune out Alex's angle as all right, there's you know, there's trouble, but it's not, yeah, yeah.
Really, what he's trying to do is shame the protesters with ideas that they've driven business out of their community, which is a very standard response for people in events like this.
And here's part of what he had to say: I have to tell you, folks, no business, no businessman in his right mind will ever go back into south-central Los Angeles and open a grocery store, supermarket, a discount store, an electronic store, a stereo store, any kind of store.
I was considering playing or talking much more about Bill Cooper's response to that, the riots that broke out after the acquittal of those police officers.
But I just, I didn't feel like it would be an episode.
Bill's response to it is very complicated and very different from Alex's, in as much as he completely understands the reasons and the plight that these communities were in.
And he thinks that anybody who supports the acquittal of those officers is categorically a racist.
Has some strong stances that he takes on that, but he also has the very similar take that Alex has towards the progression that the protests took.
Yeah, it's too much to throw in when we have all this on our plate already.
So Alex wants to play another standard conspiracy game here on the 29th.
And that is that, hey, everything that happens in the world that maybe is threatening to my worldview, all that stuff, maybe it's really a distraction.
Remember that while we're all focused on Los Angeles and Minneapolis, St. Paul, having riots and murders and attacks and massive racial attacks on white people, nobody's covering that.
While all that's going on, video has come out of Joe Biden in China saying we need China to take over the United States.
The point of the story is that no one in the media is covering the murders and anti-white violence.
That's the whole story that Alex is covering, not the underlying events he claims to be upset Upset about no one covering.
If Alex had these stories and he's not covering them, then conceivably he's just as bad as all the other media outlets he's complaining about.
You would think he's on air right now.
He can be specific whenever he wants, and he doesn't because he doesn't want to.
All he's seeking to impart to his audience is the general feeling that there's a massive cover-up of murder and violence against whites going on to give them a further incentive to demonize the underlying point of the protests.
Quite simply, it's an expression of his white supremacy.
I mean, like, in terms of, like, when I was getting this episode together, like, the concrete instances of, like, deaths that I could find, there was that guy in Detroit who was a protester who got shot by someone driving by in a gray Dodge Durango, and he died.
There was a security officer, a contracted security officer in Oakland who was shot, but again, it was by someone in a vehicle who opened fire.
Well, it makes it too clear the like property rights over everything kind of mentality of so many people on the right.
But whatever.
I don't particularly care to even engage with his complaints about anti-white racial attacks because his definition of that is meaningless.
Anything done to a white person is a racial attack when he wants it to be.
So I'm sure he'll try to say that that guy who was waving around a bow and arrow on Sunday and got beat up was the victim of anti-white attacks of course he was.
Also, while we're on the subject of things coming out while we're distracted, I would be remiss if I didn't point out that the government released summaries of the phone calls between Michael Flynn and Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak on Friday.
The readouts clearly show Flynn discussing Obama's sanctions with Russia and how Russia should respond, which is something they all said they hadn't done and is technically not legal.
This was before Trump took office, and Flynn said, quote, let's keep this at even keel level.
Then when we come in, we'll have a better conversation where we're going to go regarding our relationship.
The documents even show a follow-up call where Kislyak tells Flynn that the non-escalation on Russia's part was because of their previous conversation.
Some might say this is bad stuff and releasing it while the country is being engulfed in intense protesting seems fishy.
I'm guessing that Alex will never cover these documents and instead focus on Biden saying something about China.
I think what's really important to know is that if you read those transcripts, you come away with the impression that Trump himself has no idea what's being discussed at all.
That's what I think.
When I read those, it says to me, a man who is hiding this from Trump.
Everyone knows that The Economist is the name of the third episode in season four of Lost, where we learned that after leaving the island, Saeed has become an assassin for the nefarious Ben Linus.
It's all a very important part of the lead-up to the best episode in the entire show, The Constant.
The structure of the company is pretty bizarre, and it's fair to say that the Rothschilds are part owners, but they have approximately 21% stake in the publication.
In 2015, a company called Pearson had owned half of The Economist, but decided to sell.
The arrangement was made where the Angeli family, through their investment company, XOR, raised their stake from 4.7% to 40%, which allowed the previous status quo of powers within the magazine to stay intact.
According to an article in Politico, quote, The Economist's independence is protected by a unique, complicated corporate structure that was put in place in the 1920s.
Ownership is widely dispersed among wealthy English families, descendants of past editors, and numerous current and former employees.
Significant changes must be approved by four independent trustees charged with preserving the magazine's legacy.
It's ridiculous and childish just to say that the Rothschilds own the magazine and use it to disseminate their marching orders, but ridiculous and childish are Alex's brand, so whatever.
Tim Enlow, who's a good friend of mine, also does security work for us.
He's going to be in the studio talking about his experience as local police, federal police, army, Marine Corps, Blackwater, State Department, all of it.
He's trying to build up a narrative with literally zero proof that George Floyd was dealing narcotics and that his death was the result of some kind of a police gang not liking his position in the drug market.
Interestingly, Tim Inlow was definitely in Blackwater and Academy, as it rebranded to later.
He's specifically named in a lawsuit brought by two whistleblowers who claim they were fired after they raised the alarm that someone in the company was, quote, falsifying dozens of marksmanship tests for security contractors.
According to a wired story on this, the allegation was that this guy, quote, informed the State Department inaccurately that Academy's guards were proficient with shotguns and machine guns and, quote, failed to bring an M249 belt-fed machine gun to the test range near Kabul, but reported a successful test anyway.
Now, Tim runs some gun training outfit in Texas, and if you consult his bio on their website, you'll find that he was a Blackwater contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan between 2004 and 2012.
Hard not to consider that the Nasur Square massacre happened in 2007.
Truth is, everybody wants to get into white countries because white countries went through a renaissance and became Christian and said we want to treat people good.
And so compared to other places, we've been really good.
And that's why the globals want to overthrow the European ethos of Christianity.
Because if you can get rid of that, people won't stand up for each other.
You can see just from that clip how much of a piece of shit, double-talking asshole Alex is.
In that one clip, he says that certain countries are, quote, white countries, and they're better because they have Christianity.
Other places, presumably non-white countries, follow the rules of the jungle.
After saying that, he wraps up his thoughts by saying this is not about race.
And I would ask, if it's not about race, then why did he start off by talking about how great white countries are?
If it's not about race, why does he define the United States and Europe as being, quote, white countries to begin with?
The unexamined baseline of Alex's beliefs are racist to begin with.
But to him, they just feel like, you know, it doesn't feel like they are.
They're just common sense to him.
So if someone were to point out, for example, that America is not a white country, Alex doesn't feel racist defending his position that he thinks it is.
And he can pretend that this is somehow about Christianity, but that's bullshit.
There are at least 16 countries in Africa that Alex would probably call non-white countries that have higher percentages of the population who are Christian than the United States.
Actually, let's say 15.
I'm pretty sure he would say that South Africa is a white country.
Yeah.
He can hide behind whatever these phrasings he wants, but it's all bullshit.
So Trump got on the old Twitter box and put out a little missive about how when the looting starts, the shooting starts, which is a fun rhyme that Stephen Miller probably whispered to him.
The president of the United States said that everyone should take it into their hands to murder people if they're doing something that they consider looting.
And Twitter, for some strange reason, decided that people shouldn't see that.
It was only our last episode where we covered Alex discussing China's treatment of Muslims and saying, quote, do your thing.
As I pointed out in that episode, whenever Alex wants to attack China, his tone is completely different, and he uses their treatment of Muslims as a prop.
This is because Alex is a hack and he doesn't care about any of this.
Also, that thing about Zhi isn't true.
That's from a 2019 book called Deceiving the Sky, Inside China's Drive for Global Supremacy by a guy named Bill Goertz.
It would be wise not to necessarily trust anything that Bill Goertz does, especially around China.
In 2019, he was fired by the Washington Free Beacon.
BuzzFeed News reported that it was for, quote, what the publication called an undisclosed financial transaction with someone he covered.
This person, who he covered, is a Chinese billionaire named Miles Kwok.
Goertz and Kwok had a long-standing relationship, and he wrote about him mostly positively, pretty regularly.
When Goertz was writing this book about China, he approached Kwok for money, since Kwok is an opponent of the Chinese government.
Kwok allegedly turned him down, but then Goertz approached William Xi, who gave him $100,000.
The former head of Voice of America's Mandarin Service has said that Kwok referred to Xi as, quote, the money guy.
This $100,000 was never disclosed, and it tainted his work so severely to the point where the Free Beacon added disclaimers to his articles.
This is shady stuff, and it makes it very difficult to trust the sort of person who would engage in that kind of thing and not tell anybody.
Also, because it's fun, Miles Kwok is the guy who sued Roger Stone for $100 million.
Roger had to run paid advertisements apologizing in three newspapers.
Roger claimed that Kwok had been convicted of financial crimes and made illegal donations to Hillary Clinton, but when he got sued, he blamed it on bad information he got from Sam Nunberg.
Kwok kindly dropped the suit on the condition that Roger profusely apologized and admit that he lied, and Roger did.
And now Roger's going to prison.
Anyway, unrelatedly still.
Anyway, the point here is that Alex must have read a blurb about Bill Goertz's book, because that's pretty much the only place I can find that he's getting that story from.
I believe the president comes out against China and admits we're at war with China economically and culturally and through intelligence agencies and through collaborator traders.
If the president calls out the globalist minions as ChiCom operatives, which is now happening, if the president takes the gloves off and says it's a bait and switch, Section 230, that the big internet companies are violating our rights and been involved in election meddling.
If he does all of that very boldly, we have a good chance of winning.
But if he doesn't, if he falters, if he wavers, if we waver, things are going to really go downhill very, very quickly.
So we are on a razor's edge.
And that's why I feel absolutely 100% moral and strong and proud and good to promote high-quality shortable foods.
Honestly, it just can't feel anything else than like a manifestation of Alex's desperation.
Like the ridiculous extent to which the things he wants to see or he's advocating would be a disaster kind of just lead you to believe like, okay, well, this is what Alex has to do to feel anything anymore or what he needs to do, how extreme he needs things to get in order to get people to give him money anymore.
He's the boy who's cried wolf, and now he has to cry dragon.
Yeah, I will allow my country that I supposedly love with the constitution that I supposedly have read to completely burn in every aspect and be destroyed in order to get back on Facebook because I am hemorrhaging money.
Yeah, I mean, that's bad because, you know, you're doing your sales pitch, and then you're like, I got to give all these great sales because we got to throw everything at the wall.
And that leads to that extreme rant about the getting beat up and raped in a gulag.
And I think there's a real danger to Alex being like, this is where we take our stand.
This is where we fight.
Because people have been constantly asking him, like, over the course of the time that we've been listening to the show, when is the time to start shooting?
And if you hear that, if you're one of Alex's listeners, I can't imagine how you don't hear that as being like, okay, well, the commies are going to take over unless we start shooting or something.
This is like, just look at this level of disconnection from reality Alex lives in and perpetuates to his audience.
Wow.
So late Thursday or early Friday morning, CNN's Omar Jimenez was arrested live on air while attempting to cover the protests.
This is a pretty egregious act of press intimidation.
You can kind of tell based on how the police responded.
In a statement, the Minneapolis police said Jimenez was arrested but released when they realized that he was a reporter.
But that doesn't make sense considering that prior to and during the arrest, he was holding his press badge.
Then they said that he was arrested because he and his crew wouldn't move.
But there's video of this and Jimenez said, quote, we can move back to where you like.
We're live on air here.
Put us back where you want us.
We're getting out of your way wherever you want us.
We'll go out of your way.
Since this point, there have been a bunch more journalists who seem to be getting targeted.
Police were clearly intentionally shooting at what appeared to be pepper balls at reporter Caitlin Rust and her crew as they covered protests in Louisville.
On Saturday night, New York PD roughed up and arrested Huffington Post reporter Chris Mathias while he was clearly wearing a press badge around his neck.
Linda Torado, a photographer in Minneapolis, was shot in the eye with a rubber bullet and has been told that she's going to be left with scarring and permanent blindness in one eye.
It might be too much to say that these police seem to be intentionally trying to hurt journalists, but the way things are going, it doesn't seem like they're going out of their way to respect reporters' roles in society.
That's the only way that he can make this kind of cognitive dissonance work.
It's to claim that Omar Jimenez of CNN was arrested live on air because he was secretly on the Chinese payroll and orchestrating the protests secretly.
Again, I just showed you the documents earlier: the smoking gun.
Soros funding plans for race-based martial law with out-of-town groups brought in on buses.
Almost all white leftist communists.
I don't want to bash white people, but I mean, it is almost all white people that are trying to manipulate black people into rioting and doing this to get it to go nationwide to then stall the economy for the Chi-Coms.
Here is the local police in Minnesota actually announcing this.
unidentified
We're hearing from our local community leaders that many of the people that were involved in the criminal conduct last night were not known Mineapolitans to them.
And so, yes, there were certainly people who were involved in activities last night that were certainly not recognized as being here from the city.
So the angle that started to take shape was that people who were being arrested in Minneapolis were from out of state.
He had Governor Tim Waltz, the Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry, and the St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter all make pretty weird statements on the subject that they would later walk back.
Governor Waltz said that 80% of the rioters were from outside Minnesota.
Mayor Fry said, quote, I want to be very, very clear.
The people that are doing this are not Minneapolis residents.
They're coming in largely from outside the city, outside the region, to prey on everything we've built over the last several decades.
Mayor Carter said, quote, every single person we arrested last night, I'm told, was from out of state.
Care 11 News, they reviewed jail records and found that, in fact, almost everybody who'd been arrested for rioting, unlawful assembly, and burglary were from Minnesota.
To be fair, that data is not conclusive, but it's all the information that's available at this point.
And if the officials are going to be making claims like that, it's their responsibility to then be able to explain why the data seems to contradict those claims.
Hey, if the cops gave them that information, I will accept that they could have received false information on account of the cops are probably not on the protesters' side.
This is an interesting phenomenon that happens pretty much every time there's an outburst of protesting and rioting surrounding non-white populations demanding to be heard and that justice be respected.
Again, let's go back to Bill Cooper's coverage of the L.A. riots.
This is a trope that serves a couple of purposes for people like Bill and Alex.
One of the main functions is to assure their audiences that the black community doesn't really feel all that motivated for justice.
It's an attempt to knock out the cornerstone of what the protests are actually about.
In Bill's case, it was the outrage about cops being acquitted for clearly beating a man almost to death on video.
In Alex's case, it's the long-boiling outrage about cops not facing consequences for killing unarmed non-white people, despite very public attempts to get people to take the matter seriously.
By insisting that what's really going on is that the evil white people are secretly running everything and tricking non-whites into rioting, you rob the black community of the ability to focus on the central grievance that is what you should be discussing.
And you do so by playing on your audience's unexamined racist belief that non-whites are stupid and easily tricked into things like rioting.
The other main thing that this does is it allows Bill and Alex to redirect the story for their own purposes.
For their audiences, this is no longer about whatever the protests are supposed to be about.
It's now about the globalists or the New World Order.
The rioters are well-meaning folks who got tricked into this whole thing by the metal and cabal, but Alex and Bill are smart enough to see through the trick, and thereby they co-opt the story that has nothing to do with them into actually being really about their mission.
See, what it is, is black people always want to protest peacefully, but white people come in and they start causing a race war because secretly they're using it to oppress black people.
So black people definitely shouldn't even go out at all.
There's no point in protesting.
It's just going to be white people who are making everybody look bad.
And I'm pretty sure there were plenty of people at every protest we've seen this last week who have come in from out of town somewhere, but I'm not sure what that proves.
And I'm sure that there are some people who are behaving in ways that maybe the central organizers of a rally do not approve of.
And I think that there's a lot that should be dealt with and wrestled with in terms of that.
But in terms of a lot of the specifics of it, it's really hard to assess for me, especially as things are going on, the level to which that invalidates anything.
I don't think I have a place to say.
And I think that this, I can't hear people like Alex saying things like this and not recognize that that is their motivation.
And that's one of the reasons why it's really difficult for me to discuss, particularly the ongoing situation of the protest with any kind of real feeling of certainty or comfort.
And I don't mean comfort in some sort of like a like, I'm uncomfortable.
I mean, I don't know.
And some of the stuff we will discuss, and I'll tell you, like, this is, you know, I don't know.
Yeah.
But like, it's very difficult.
And all I can really sort of stake a claim in is that I believe that the underlying conversation that is around this is important.
It's valuable.
And I don't think that whether a genuine part of anything or a sad offshoot of it, like burning down a target or whatever, is inconsequential compared to the real issues at hand.
And I feel like it's a disservice to get too bogged down in that, losing sight of the tons more footage and stuff you can find of people peacefully gathering and organizing and protesting and the videos you can find of communities cleaning up after, let's say, a business has the windows broken and stuff.
You know, there's all kinds of stuff that are really more important to me than focusing on the sensationalism of fire.
The only thing that I hear from everybody that makes me so fucking mad is everybody, like Lori Lightfoot gave a press conference today where she lied through her fucking teeth.
And for the reasons of like a lot of the complicated elements of this and like how much can you trust everything you see on Twitter when a lot of things are really unverifiable.
Yeah.
For some of those reasons, I think that a lot of my thoughts are best in hindsight than as things are happening.
But I also want to present what Alex says.
And when there are things that he brings up that are like, oh, this is a meme that was going around.
We can discuss that.
But at the same time, sometimes I'm just going to have to punt.
But the coroner in the autopsy ruled that it was a homicide and that the victim died of a sudden cardiac death due to the toxic effects of cocaine and a stress associated with physical restraint, right?
So this guy from Blackwater is here on the show making up details about the preliminary autopsy that Hennepin County Medical Examiner has released.
That report said that the actions of the police, health conditions, and quote, any potential intoxicants contribute to the death.
I'm guessing that what Alex and Tim are doing here is that they're combining that and reports that George Floyd had been arrested in December 2005 for possession of less than a gram of cocaine, which is then being reported as him being on cocaine when he was killed.
At this point, there's no evidence to support this conclusion.
And even if that is later shown to be the case, these dudes are still just making this up.
They aren't saying I bet he was on Coke.
They're saying it as a definitive thing, which is lying.
I have a fairly strong suspicion that if Floyd was on cocaine, we would know about that by now.
So a lot of the rest of this show is Alex talking to Barnes and David Knight about how great Trump's moves against Twitter are, which is a pathetic and pointless waste of time.
Good work, Barnes.
I really, really wouldn't care about this even under the most boring of circumstances, but right now I have zero time for it.
After they have this bull session about how great Trump is for doing this stuff, Alex brings on Andrew Torba, the guy who runs Gab.
It's really weird to see that be the person who you'd want to bring on to discuss Trump's planned executive order, because if it goes into effect, Gab is basically dead.
There's no way that site can operate if Torba becomes personally responsible for the things that individuals post on there.
And guess what?
He's not so stupid to not recognize that that's the case.
And it leads to Alex getting completely blindsided.
And so they end up having this conversation back and forth where I guess they come to sort of detente by recognizing that, yeah, okay, well, if he writes the executive order, so it only applies to the companies we want it to apply to, that'll be great.
So that's where they kind of like, yeah, as long as I'm protected from the responsibility for what people post, yeah, I'm fine.
So this is the way that Alex is beginning his coverage on Saturday, which is telling.
By Saturday, there were plenty of available videos he could discuss about police clearly assaulting people unprovoked.
But the way he's covering the story is to frame the entire thing as being about protesters attacking cops.
Alex doesn't speak in specifics, and he never will because he doesn't know any specifics.
This is about creating a tone, a mood, to make his audience scared and hateful towards protests.
There's only one security contractor I could find who was killed, and Alex is implying there's a bunch.
And there's no evidence that there's even a protester who's responsible for that.
I don't know what cops Alex is claiming were shot, but if you'd like to discuss specifics, I'll engage with him at that point.
From what I can tell, the violence being done by the police has far outweighed the violence directed toward them.
But it's a complicated situation to extract exact details from, particularly as it's still ongoing, which is why it's such a massive disservice for Alex to speak in these vague generalities that gets us nowhere.
She's someone who almost no one knows or would recognize as working for InfoWars, and she doesn't announce herself as an Infowars correspondent when she's in the field.
She has a thing on her mic that says Action 7 News, which is a fake entity that they've come up with to mislead people about who she works for.
By pretending to be from an unrelated outfit, Savannah can attempt to get interviews with people, maybe even about the attack on Alex's fake tank.
And the entire story can be told completely differently than it could be with just Owen out there getting clowned.
Owen shows up to draw the heat.
He's the InfoWars guy who's there.
And Savannah tricks people into thinking that she's not working for InfoWars in hopes of getting footage they can use to build a narrative.
Maybe it's that all the protesters want to kill Owen.
They hate real journalists.
They hate the First Amendment or whatever.
Whatever the case is, there's an advantage to having Owen there to draw heat, and then Savannah can appear to not be an InfoWars reporter.
It's one of the reasons why this is a giant breach of journalistic ethics to misrepresent who you work for, unless you're doing undercover work.
This instance is probably one where you could make an argument that Savannah's safety could be threatened by being an InfoWars reporter there, and thus the lie could be justified.
But that kind of goes out the window when you consider they're also sending Owen in in a tank.
So the first point I want to make is that at this point, I'm not sure Alex even remembers what Xi's real name is.
It's hard to say whether he pronounces it that way because it's like a derisive thing or because he, like one day, he realized it was easier to pronounce that way and he just forgot he's doing it wrong.
So Alex is trotting out some crime statistics in an attempt to make the argument that black people commit more crimes against white people than the reverse.
I don't want to parse words here.
This is an argument that is right at home on Stormfront or on any white supremacist message board you can imagine.
The goal here isn't to talk about actual dynamics in crime.
It's to portray black people as violent threats and white people as the preferred target of those threats.
Open white supremacists like David Duke and Jared Taylor have used this exact argument for years to claim that it's an inherent criminality that exists in black people.
And even if Alex isn't directly saying that, his argument is built on that foundation.
And there's no way he could possibly not be aware of that.
What this analysis of crime statistics, you know, what it does is it takes all the context away from numbers.
And thus, they're pretty much meaningless.
More thorough analyses have been done, like the 2014 Bureau of Justice statistics study that found that a lot of the differences that you can find racially in crime statistics go away when you control for poverty.
They also found that when things are done to alleviate poverty, violent crime rates went down regardless of race.
Racist misinterpretations of crime statistics like this are mainstays in white supremacist discourse and were a large part of what motivated Dylan Roof to commit his 2015 mass shooting at the Emmanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston.
Whether Alex wants to accept it or not, he's continuing in that legacy.
Also, and this is crucially important, these statistics are completely irrelevant to the conversation that these protesters are meant to be forcing.
The conversation is around a lack of accountability for police officers who kill and victimize non-white people.
And no amount of random, out-of-context crime statistics Alex can come up with will have any bearing on that.
He's trying to move goalposts because he feels like this crime statistic conversation is one where his narratives of white victimhood stand a better chance of success.
All he's doing is making the argument that maybe police should be killing black people.
Kind of.
I mean, that's kind of the rationalization he's making.
But he's doing it without having to accept the consequences of saying that out loud.
The idea of saying, oh, white liberals are at these protests going, hands up, don't shoot.
These people are out at protests where cops are indiscriminately pepper spraying people.
These people are out in the streets while fires are going on everywhere around them saying hands up, don't shoot, while you put your dumb fucks in a tank and you don't even go to a fucking protest.
So in this next clip, Alex does some promoting, and there's maybe, I don't know if I want to say I have a call to action, but I have a point I want to make.
So the first thing I think is really funny is that how Alex is suggesting that his audience post links to banned.video because banned.video is not as banned as other URLs.
I wanted to pull this clip because it's something that Alex says all the time, and I usually just ignore it.
But today, I feel like it merits discussion.
Alex is directly flouting the bans on social media sites and using it as a marketing ploy.
Until social media sites wise up and realize that they're dealing with people who will constantly try to get around the rules because their business model depends on it, they're going to lose.
They set up blockers so InfoWars can't go up, but Alex posts all the same articles on News Wars with all the same ads and all the same content.
So he can just have people post that, and essentially the block is completely ineffective.
If the goal is to restrict InfoWars' ability to perpetuate their lies and misinformation, then these companies need to block news wars, banned.video, Europe wars, and a whole bunch of other URLs that Alex owns.
Until they do, their actions are symbolic and ultimately at least partially advantageous to Alex.
Alex had to add that last part at the end because otherwise it's like, that's where a lot of your information has come from.
The channels.
So go fuck yourself, man.
Yeah, I don't care about this.
I mean, like, this is just dangerous.
I mean, I mean, everybody has the right to protest and what have you, but like, I think the odds are not good of people doing so responsibly in Alex's audience who are calling themselves to protect the White House.
So they're pushing this forward, and it's not factually backed up.
This is them trying to craft a new story.
It's the same thing that people did, the white nationalist folks and the alt-right did in the aftermath of the Unite the Right rally with the narrative and talking point that Heather Heyer had a heart attack.
Or at least we have to get that same kind of footage so that our organization, the money and the donations and everything pulls in to support our cause.
And really, if you look at it.
Right.
And if you look at that, it's a playbook straight out of Group.
So what's going on is these protesters are all competing to see who can come up with the best footage so they can get more money in Soros' video contests.
So we close out this 30th special episode with, you know, Alex is just like, he's getting to a point now where it's like we keep saying and have been saying for a while that it's like he just wants Trump to become a dictator and will accept whatever.
And now he's sort of making peace with that.
And he's sort of being a bit more open and upfront about it.
That's the center thrust of what he's putting out there.
But one thing that I think one thing that I think maybe you might not notice listening to that clip that stuck out to me is that even Owen Schroer can recognize a lack of leadership.
Even Owen recognized.
Now, granted, he wants leadership in the wrong direction.
No, of course.
In a very bad direction.
But they are even able to take a finger, put it on the pulse, and recognize we have no leadership.
At this point, a whole bunch had happened, and there were a number of conspiracies that are floating around.
Everywhere.
And this is where it really started to feel a lot like going back and looking at the Boston bombing period, where in the immediate aftermath of things happening, Alex would just throw whatever at the wall.
And it really feels like on Sunday, that's what he's trying to do.
He's trying to launch in as many directions as possible.
And granted, I think that started earlier, too, with his maybe there was a cop gang kind of thing.
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
There's a bit of it, but I think it accelerates quite a bit.
So the only source Alex has on that brick story is a video that was going around on Dallas, around on Twitter, of a guy in Dallas saying that there was a pallet of bricks in a location that was not near any construction site, and thus someone must have put them there on purpose.
From that jump-off point, Alex is bringing in the pre-existing narrative of the fake Soros contracts to report that the person who put those bricks there must have been in the employee of Soros, which is Alex's way of trying to create a false flag narrative out of the protests.
I have no idea what's going on in that video on Twitter.
I've seen some people online say that the bricks were there because there was a construction project at the intersection involving a replaced water line, but I couldn't tell you if that's accurate or not.
I can't find independent confirmation.
It really doesn't make sense, though, that this would be a spot where Soros or one of his minions would just drop off a pallet of bricks for no reason.
That video was shot outside of a federal building, so you would assume there would be a decent chance that there might be some surveillance around it.
And I know that we recently just talked about how there weren't cameras pointed outside the Mura building in Oklahoma City and that wasn't suspicious.
But this is a different situation.
The building in this video that it was shot outside of was the Earl Cobble Federal Building and Courthouse, which was the site of a shooting back on June 17th, 2019.
If there were some failures in cameras at that point, afterwards the building raised their security considerably.
If someone dropped off a pallet of bricks outside that federal building, there should be a way to prove it.
For now, I'm of the mind that this seems like a misunderstanding on the part of the person who made that video, and it's been widespread and weaponized by the conspiracy theory community to further the narrative that Soros is paying protesters to cause trouble.
I don't see any confirmation that these bricks were mysteriously dropped there.
So I'm going to need more on that.
That's not good.
That's not good enough for me.
Yep.
So Alex has realized that the National Guard is getting involved, which he should be against.
So I can find no information about the other cop knowing George Floyd, and there's nothing on it about InfoWars.
Like, I can't find any story about it on there.
And also, I don't care if someone has done porn.
Sex work doesn't make someone suspicious or more likely to be involved in criminal activity.
Alex is just doing whatever he can, throwing any kind of spaghetti at the wall to attack the image of the guy who the police murdered in order to make that murder more acceptable to his audience.
So, Alex is also continuing to push the out-of-towner narrative that by this point, those officials, a number of them had already been like, wow, I had bad information.
Alex is still pushing it.
And then, man, I can't believe how flimsy some of this shit is.
So, leaving aside the fact that Alex didn't get the memo about these updates to that story, that thing about Governor Waltz's daughter, Hope, had to do with her tweeting about rumors about the National Guard getting deployed and saying that it takes time to mobilize them.
This is a full-on QAnon theory that Alex is repeating, where Dum Dums Online decided that the governor's daughter is involved in issuing directives to protesters stealthily through Twitter because she tweeted about the National Guard taking time to make no mistake about it.
What Alex is doing right now would be the equivalent of him coming on air and talking about how Trump's misspellings on Twitter were actually a secret code.
That's the level of bullshit he's working with.
Oh, the governor's daughter is secretly running Antifa.
The only website covering this story is Infowars itself, so I don't know about this.
Something doesn't seem quite right about it, mostly because no hackers would go to News Wars, the website that almost no one outside of InfoWars listeners even know exists.
No one would do that.
It makes no sense.
It would have no impact to hack News Wars.
A website that even social media sites that have banned Alex don't know exists.
If I were Alex, I would 100% call this a false flag.
But I'm not Alex.
So maybe some really weird hacker decided to take over a site that literally no one cares about, and I'm sure no one would have noticed unless Alex brought up.
It's possible.
And then again, we've also heard Alex completely fabricating DDoS attacks in the past.
So, in addition to this, Alex is pushing narratives that are about the police setting fires in New York and that they are, you know, this false flag kind of thing.
But, you know, there's other people doing this.
And you know what?
My position on all of that stuff is: I don't know.
I don't know if there are instigators who are infiltrating in some capacity.
I don't know if there are white supremacist folks, accelerationist types.
I don't know if some of them are very misguided, total anti-statist types.
I don't know.
And I can't pretend to know, and I don't think we will know for a while.
There's a chance that some of this information will come to light.
Some people may be able to identify things.
But at this point, I don't know.
But I do think that the way Alex is covering this stuff is still irresponsible, given that he doesn't know either.
It's, it's, it's, he just, he has to recognize at a certain point that what would be this person's just asking questions for someone else is for him a dangerous activity.
Like I said, these demonstrations are a way of showing solidarity, but the only way to actually change the system is to increase self-governance.
So that means it involves organizations like Food Not Bombs with local anarchist or communist organizations because these are the people that are actually trying to change the system and have concrete plans for how to do so.
It's one thing to go vote every election cycle.
It's one thing to like canvas the city or something like that.
But if you actually want to affect change, you need to change the conditions.
So join an organization, a communist organization, or an anarchist organization.
His tweets really helped cut down the amount of time it took to get to the bottom of the story.
So there was a video that was circulating online of a man getting beaten up by protesters, which was posted by Elijah Schaefer, who works for Glenbeck's Blaze TV.
The video was misleadingly edited to appear that it showed a guy who did nothing, getting beaten up for no reason.
Hours later, and after being pestered to do so, Schaefer posted the unedited version of the video, which shows what actually happened.
According to CBS 21 Dallas-Fort Worth, this guy was beat up because he was trying to fight protesters with a machete.
Police said that he'd shown up to, quote, allegedly protect his neighborhood from protesters, which he did by swinging a machete at people.
Because this context was removed from the initial video, it made the rounds in all the Ray Wing circles, and the narrative was established that he was beaten up for no reason.
By the time the reality was made clear, it was too late, and this narrative was already in place.
And you see Alex here long past when he had every reason to know what was going on, reporting the fake version of it.
And Alex is taking it a step further and lying about two additional aspects.
He's saying that it's racism against whites-related crime, which it clearly is not.
And he's saying that this guy is in a coma.
There's no evidence of this, and it's not mentioned in the CBS 21 story about him, which says that he's in stable condition at the hospital.
And from what I understand, he was tweeting later.
Yeah, there's no more, there's, yeah, the definition of self-defense when it comes to a man running at you with a machete is for people who love stand your fucking ground laws, somebody running at you with a machete means you get to beat the shit out of them.
Well, I mean, like, the thing that I think is important is that there's a real decent chance that Alex doesn't know the full context of this video and has only seen the short version.
And he is not curious in any way about what actually happened and has decided to add on to it all of his own piccadillos about he was beat up because he was white.
That's the process that Alex uses to report his stories and why it's really dangerous in these times like we talk about when the concrete's wet for him to take these things and work with them because it's hard.
It's hard.
I mean, I think I probably could have found this story in CBS without Jared's tweet, but it made it a lot easier.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But without that kind of access to the context surrounding this, it'd be very difficult for someone who's in these right-wing information spheres to figure out, oh, this is bullshit.
Yeah, this is, I mean, I think the people who I've heard discussing this the most clearly is, you know, saying this is just a move to basically label whoever you don't want terrorists.
People say to me, when I was out there balorning Antifa today, almost every person that knew who I was, every third or fourth person would say, you were against the police state.
That doesn't mean the police.
And the ignorance of these people is amazing.
A police state is where there's no rule of law and we're under martial law and new processes thrown out.
That has nothing to do with a cop.
The police tires meeting the road.
It's where policy meets reality.
And so if the globalists are trying to train cops to take guns and break up families and forcibly take your seven-year-old for a sex change, I'm not personally mad at that police officer coming to do that, but I'm going to fight them.
If we don't back the president now, we deserve what we get.
So I literally had a moment on Friday.
I told listeners, I said, this is my gut, my spirit.
Because while we're in this fight, I keep checking the president.
Is he bright?
Is he perfect for my position of not being in the middle of where he is?
And my gut told me, just back the president 100% no matter what now, because if he doesn't get 100% backing, spiritually, culturally, economically, metaphysically, we're going to lose.
Trump needs full backing right now.
He is 1,000% what we asked for.
He is the champion of the Republic.
He has done.
It's unbelievable that God gave us this person.
And you know, the Patriots in our own government were like, who can challenge a Chi-Com takeover?
Who can challenge the slave?
And Trump had his whole life preparing, knowing what he was doing for the position.
He wasn't even part of the system, but he was metaphysically preparing himself for that position now.
This is an attack because they know they have used their predictive program software to know that Joe Biden is not going to have a chance to win the 2020 elections.
That's right.
They have prediction software, Alex, where they can use their AI programs to scour the entire internet.
If he believed her, and she's bringing a gigantic story that's like, oh, all this is just psych warfare or something, he wouldn't keep interrupting her like this.
Trump, I really think that Trump needs to crack down and try to, like he's doing, deploy the National Guard, but he needs to do it in all these things.
I would appreciate an InfoWars guy, like the AP style guide and the InfoWars style guide of just being like, anytime, anytime you're talking about this, Soros.
I was cooking earlier, and that thought crossed my mind as I was sitting there putting some food together.
I was thinking, like, I wonder, I wouldn't be too surprised.
I don't think this is the case, but I wouldn't be too surprised if in the writers' rooms or whatever at InfoWars in the offices, there was some kind of a rubric that went into like, here's the type of news event.
When I said that, when Millie says things are going to get worse, and I agree, I disagree with everything else.
But I do think that things are going to keep going in the direction that they're going, absent any kind of leadership, absent any kind of recognition of what the conversation is.
Then I don't see if force is met with force, then I don't see, I don't see people who are protesting having any reason to not continue because of the validity and the sincerely held beliefs that are behind what they're doing.
At the same time, I don't have a whole lot of faith that Trump would have the restraint, the bigness to recognize the complaints and the humility to accept a conversation that's going on.
I think that there's too much built up into not looking weak.
And I worry what those two forces up against each other intersecting could lead to.
And so I do worry about that.
But I think all the other stuff is bullshit, like fake impeachment, fake virus.
So I think we come to the end of this, and I think you start to see a little bit of like this.
The gears are starting to try and work for Alex.
He's trying to create the things that he needs to create a false flag narrative out of this with the Soros contracts that are bullshit that he's bringing back into the conversation, shifting the villain from Gates to Soros to suit the needs of the moment.
Of course, I think you see him picking up whatever he can in terms of videos that come out with the bricks.
You just take, you know, hey, they're all beating up whites.
You see that behavior, and it's very reminiscent.
It's very much, that's Alex Jones, what he does.
And then at the same time, I think probably more offensively, the just complete fabrication of embellishment, speculation wildly about George Floyd himself in a way that's just designed to make the audience feel more comfortable with the fact that he got murdered.
I think those are the two-pronged approach that he has.
You know, sort of make this not as hard of a pill to swallow and then create a narrative where the globalists are doing this.
You see that starting to take shape here.
And I predict that it will continue.
And I don't know, man.
What I worry about is that, like, you know, when coronavirus started up, that really helped Alex, who made a lot of money off that, and it kept him pretty afloat for a bit.
And I'm pretty worried that this is a ratings bonanza kind of thing for Alex.
And it's the sort of thing that it does have the potential.
And Alex is most adept at taking things that are really hot and really unclear and using them to his advantage.
And I do have a real sincere worry that he'll be able to make a lot of money on this.
