| Hey, everybody. | ||
| Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||

|
I'm Jordan. | |
| We're a couple dudes like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| Oh, indeed we are, Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Quick question for you. | ||
| What's your bright spot, Dan? | ||
| Let me get back to it, because it's actually involved with something else. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, okay. | |
| So you go first. | ||
| Is it dating? | ||
| No. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| My bright spot, Dan, after putting more than 100 hours into Final Fantasy VII Remake, I have finally gotten back to... | ||
| 200% it? | ||
| Oh yeah, of course I did. | ||
| Twice. | ||
| On hard mode. | ||
| That's too much. | ||
| Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I have gotten back to playing Horizon Zero Dawn. | ||
| Great game. | ||
| Really enjoying it. | ||
| Really enjoying it. | ||
| I know a lot of listeners really responded well to my love of that game. | ||
| I think it's fantastic. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| I'm not usually a guy who likes a bow and arrow based game, but the mechanics are really well done. | ||
| And then the story is just fantastic. | ||
| Yeah, it's really great. | ||
| It's really interesting and I'm glad you're enjoying it. | ||
| Yeah, love me a good two hour jaunt on side quests and then forget that I'm doing a... | ||
| It's very rare that I give someone a recommendation and it turns out well. | ||
| So I'm glad that that is the case for you. | ||
| You got one. | ||
| Put it on the board. | ||
| My bright spot for this episode is actually going to dovetail squarely into the year of the... | ||
| So the year of the seltzer, Jordan. | ||
| I have been slacking a little bit on it because the move and everything. | ||
| It's difficult. | ||
| But I've focused. | ||
| And part of that is because I have to pack up everything and there's fucking seltzers in my fridge. | ||
| There's still seltzers in there. | ||
| Yes, there are. | ||
| You gotta get rid of them somehow. | ||
| So we're up to 104. | ||
| 104! | ||
| We've crossed the 100 threshold. | ||
| That's exciting. | ||
| We are more than one-fifth of the way through this within two months. | ||
| Yeah, that's exciting. | ||
| We started on 420, and it's now 6-9 as we're recording this. | ||
| 420-69, whoa. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Forget it. | ||
| That is great. | ||
| It's awesome. | ||
| Let's all go home. | ||
| We can wrap up America. | ||
| We did everything we set out to do. | ||
| The reason that this is my bright spot is that it also comes... | ||
| It comes with a really exciting thing, and that is that there is a new entry in the top five. | ||
| Oh, shit! | ||
| Yes, we have encountered an 80-plus seltzer. | ||
| An 80-plus. | ||
| So as we know, Mars... | ||
| Do you have a drop for this one, too? | ||
| No, no, although I should. | ||
| Mars Brewery is coming in at number one with the Flower Power. | ||
| Yes, fantastic. | ||
| Which is amazing. | ||
| Really, really good. | ||
| Number two is still Aha Black Cherry Coffee. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| That is at an 83. Yeah. | ||
| I believe Mars Brewery is at 84. And then up till now, Mars Brewery hit another entry at the three spot with their citrus party. | ||
| But it has been taken. | ||
| The three spot has been taken. | ||
| The three spot has been taken. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| By Petal. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That flower brand of seltzers. | ||
| They have one that's an elderberry white tea flower. | ||
| That sounds amazing. | ||
| I was worried about it because I don't know offhand what an elderberry tastes like. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I have no idea. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That'll happen. | |
| So I didn't know what to think encountering it, but I took a sip. | ||
| I was like, this is amazing. | ||
| But I'm like, I'm just hyping this up. | ||
| This isn't as good as I think it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure, sure, sure. | |
| And then as I kept drinking it, I was like... | ||
| I need to go to the store and get more of this. | ||
| Oh, no! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, that's good. | |
| Yeah, it wasn't as, like... | ||
| I didn't think it beat the Black Cherry Coffee, but it's still way up there. | ||
| So it's coming in at the number three. | ||
| Citrus Party is bumped down to the number four, and La Croix, Limoncello, rounding it out at number five. | ||
| Still there. | ||
| Salute to Bubbler, Passion Fruit Wonder. | ||
| You've been knocked off the top five list. | ||
| You had a great run. | ||
| Man, what's that elderberry, white tea? | ||
| Flower. | ||
| Wow, that sounds like something that a woodland creature in Redwall would drink. | ||
| I don't have them anymore. | ||
| Where's Martin the Warrior when you're drinking that? | ||
| You should see these cans. | ||
| They look very fantasy-esque. | ||
| They're very cool-looking cans. | ||
| I believe it. | ||
| So yeah, I think there's a trend that I'm starting to notice, and I think that some of these tea-ish ones maybe are more my speed in terms of flavors. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| They have a little bit more complexity and are a little bit more tasty. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| Yeah, but we'll see. | ||
| Anyway, past 100, got a new entry in the top five. | ||
| 69. Top three. | ||
| Hell yeah. | ||
| What a day. | ||
| Big news. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Big news. | ||
| Very exciting to celebrate. | ||
| Nothing else going on. | ||
| No. | ||
| So, Jordan, we got an interesting little thing to go over today. | ||
| We've got the June 9th, 2020 episode of the Alex Jones Room. | ||
| Dan, this is 2020. | ||
| God damn it. | ||
| And we'll discuss some sort of weird stuff. | ||
| Yeah, some stuff. | ||
| After we take a moment to say thank you to some folks who signed up and are supporting the show. | ||
| So first, there's a little bit of a trend of fecal. | ||
| Oh, we're doing shit now. | ||
| Well, it's not all fecal, but it's the bodily function kind of thing that I don't appreciate. | ||
| But I still appreciate people supporting the show. | ||
| So, Farty McPooper, you are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you, Farty. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| You just resent having to say McPooper. | ||
| Next, Jason M. Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you, Jason. | ||
| Next, Tom C. Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thanks, Tom. | ||
| Next, Alex Jones Smegma. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| You're not going to repeat it? | ||
| No, I'm good. | ||
| Next, Shitter McGaffin. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| It's been a while since I've had that Adam Sandler reference. | ||
| Shitter, though. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I got it, Dan. | ||
| I got it. | ||
| Next, Rochelle. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you, Rochelle. | ||
| Thank you, Rochelle. | ||
| Next, David B. Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| You know what the B stands for. | ||
| That's it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But. | |
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Then finally, I'd like to say thank you to a couple people who donated in such a way as to rise above. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| In a way that they deserve very special recognition. | ||
| The elderberry white tea of donors. | ||
| Of folks, yes. | ||
| And so I would like to say thank you to Rebecca, R-E-B-E-K-A-H, who has wonderful hair. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a raptor princess of the highest order. | ||
| And also, I think that I may have already given a thank you in a raptor princess induction for this person, but in case I haven't, Laura W., thank you so much. | ||
| You are also a raptor princess. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Four stars. | ||
| Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant. | ||
| I'll barbecue your ass. | ||
| It's over for humanity. | ||
| You're a beautiful soul. | ||
| They're coming for your balls. | ||
| Well, I piss all over your gut. | ||
| Very few people crap in the pool unless they're babies. | ||
| I piss all over the state. | ||
| Is it a practice of calling people pieces of garbage? | ||
|
unidentified
|
When they are. | |
| Coming! | ||
|
unidentified
|
As you see. | |
| Thank you so much, Rebecca, and thank you so much, Laura. | ||
| Yes, thank you very much to the both of you. | ||
| We appreciate it very much. | ||
| And if you're out there listening and you're thinking, hey, I enjoyed the show, I'd like to support what these gents do, you can do that by going to our website, knowledgefight.com, clicking the button that says support the show, or you can take that generosity and throw it in the direction of some charity in your local area that's dealing with people in need. | ||
| That would be wonderful as well. | ||
| Yes, we would appreciate it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Indeed. | |
| So, like I said, Jordan, this is a little weird, this episode, and that's because on Monday... | ||
| I turned on the show, and Owen Schroyer was hosting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Great. | |
| So I'm like, fuck this noise. | ||
| Let's do all wall-to-wall Schroyer. | ||
| Click, turn it off. | ||
| I believe he did, Alex actually did come in and do some of the show later, but if Owen Schroyer was hosting the first hour, I'm not done. | ||
| I don't know what I'm doing. | ||
| You're not sticking around. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So I was pretty worried that we'd have nothing to really cover for this episode, so Tuesday comes around, June 9th, and I turn it on. | ||
| Fucking David Knight's hosting. | ||
| Oh, that's good stuff. | ||
| But David Knight is a pro. | ||
| And he's... | ||
| Calm down. | ||
| He said that Alex is going to be in a little bit later. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| And that Steve Pchenik was going to be on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| And so I was like, well, all right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's catnip. | |
| That's catnip to you. | ||
| You got no choice. | ||
| Gotta find out what Steve Pchenik has to say about things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That awful fraud. | |
| So I can't not do that. | ||
| So I decided to just... | ||
| Ignore all the time that David Knight's hosting. | ||
| Right at the end of the first hour, Alex shows up. | ||
| In the last segment of the first hour. | ||
| And so we will begin our investigation and exploration of June 9th when Alex comes in. | ||
| And actually, I will say, Steve Pchenik disappointed me a little bit. | ||
| But there's something else that goes on on this episode that I think is fantastic and definitely worth our time. | ||
| So we start off with Alex teasing that. | ||
| Although... | ||
| He starts off with an intention of what the show is going to be, and then he almost doesn't get to it at all. | ||
| Here's what I want to do today. | ||
| I want to open the phones up for the balance of the next three hours. | ||
| And I want to take your phone calls. | ||
| On the subjects of what's unfolding in the world. | ||
| So Alex is going to take phone calls for the next three hours. | ||
| I predict three phone calls. | ||
| He doesn't start taking calls for another hour after this. | ||
| And then Steve Pachanik's on for a while. | ||
| He does not take many calls. | ||
| He takes a couple of calls. | ||
| And there's a reason for this. | ||
| And it's because he will later stipulate what sorts of callers he wants. | ||
| And it is a non-existent group. | ||
| So, you can't get these calls. | ||
| Alright, okay. | ||
| But we'll see how that goes. | ||
| What, the Antifa leadership? | ||
| Is that what he's looking for? | ||
| I think he would have liked to have a head-to-head tete-a-tete with Senor Antifa. | ||
| So, in this next clip, Alex, when he puts the call out for calls, he has to wait. | ||
| People aren't calling in immediately. | ||
| So, he's got to vamp for a little bit. | ||
| And he talks about this phenomenon that we're seeing of people getting hit by cars at protests. | ||
| Yes, white nationalists hitting people. | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| Is he not going to... | ||
| Alex has a slightly different take on it. | ||
| Oh, that sounds right. | ||
| There are video after video after video where they throw themselves on the hoods of people's cars. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And act like they fall down and act like they've been attacked. | ||
| Big swing. | ||
| And the media says, oh, look, someone tried to ram them down and kill them. | ||
| All trying to repeat Charlottesville over and over again. | ||
| So it's like a big satanic drama club of victimology control freaks over and over and over again repeating the same garbage. | ||
| Those are words. | ||
| You know, a lot of, and here's the thing that we don't talk about enough. | ||
| A lot of people are shooting themselves 40 or 50 times in the back before they talk to the cops. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| In order to make it look like they're the ones who do it. | ||
| There's a rash of that going around. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| A lot of people just shooting themselves many times, tens of times in the back. | ||
| So I would say that this is a really interesting way for Alex to try and contextualize and hand wave away a bunch of videos of protesters getting hit by cars. | ||
| A bunch of fucking lemmings jumping into cars left and right. | ||
| Another way. | ||
| The only way to look at it is that since the Unite the Right rally, online bigots and neo-Nazis have celebrated the idea of using cars as weapons, and what you're seeing likely contains at least a kernel of copycatting from that. | ||
| Almost certainly. | ||
| So, I don't know what Alex is doing, but here. | ||
| There's a ton of videos like what Alex is describing, and a number of them fall into slightly different circumstances. | ||
| Some of them are police who attempt to drive through people or intentionally open their door as they're passing a protester in order to hit them with it. | ||
| Other are civilians that are driving into people, and a number of those videos certainly look like attacks on protesters, but each is an individual case, and it's kind of hard for me to speak about them in a blanket sense, because each one is a little bit different. | ||
| Sure, my feeling is that driving a car into any group of people is an attack. | ||
| You bet. | ||
| Regardless of other contexts. | ||
| That's where I'm at, too. | ||
| That said, within the last week or so, I can find instances of protesters being hit by cars in Chattanooga, Jackson, Michigan, and there was 55-year-old Robert Forbes. | ||
| who died after being struck by a car in Bakersfield. | ||
| Then, of course, there was the incident in Denver from the end of May. | ||
| It seems to be happening quite a bit. | ||
| I can't get into the specifics of all of those cases, but what I can do is discuss one recent instance of this that is very clearly a man trying to kill protesters, which illustrates how wrong and awful Alex is. | ||
| On Sunday night in Seattle, a 31-year-old man drove his car directly toward a group of protesters who stopped him with a barricade. | ||
| When his car stopped, some protesters naturally started hitting his car since he had tried to run people over. | ||
| One man who was near his open driver's side window falls to the ground, having been shot by the man who was driving the car. | ||
| The dude gets out of the car brandishing a gun. | ||
| mixing in with the crowd and running away, but he was ultimately subdued by protesters and then turned himself into the police, claiming that he'd been forced to shoot someone who was carjacking him. | ||
| That sounds right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
His story doesn't match with the video, nor with the accounts of people who saw the car accelerating as he approached the mass of protesters, which doesn't make sense, unless his intentions were to run people over. | |
| So we'll wait to see what information eventually comes out on this front, but from the information available now, it's very hard to see this as anything other than a guy trying to hit protesters with his car, failing, and then deciding to shoot someone instead. | ||
| This is disgusting stuff coming from Alex. | ||
| On one level, he knows fully well that what he's doing is providing PR cover for people who want to enact violence on people for expressing their First Amendment right to protest. | ||
| Alex knows that, and I hope it eats him up inside because he's a monster. | ||
| I'm surprised that he's not going with the false flag and somewhat refreshed by it. | ||
| It's too easy to go with the false flag now. | ||
| To be fair. | ||
| The idea that protesters are jumping in front of cars, that's a new swing. | ||
| I guess so, but it's not really, because that is a false flag. | ||
| Well, I guess. | ||
| I mean, in some ways, yes, it's a false flag. | ||
| That is the protesters pulling a false flag by jumping on these cars that are rushing at them. | ||
| Right, but it's not the protesters in the cars setting the whole thing up. | ||
| True. | ||
| I'll give them at least one new wrinkle. | ||
| But it's not a new wrinkle, even. | ||
| This is, again, one of the difficulties of Alex's whole idea, even, of false flags. | ||
| It's a meaningless term. | ||
| It could mean a hundred different things depending on what the circumstances are he's trying to claim or fake. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| It's very frustrating. | ||
| Yeah, that is annoying. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, Alex has been gone, you know, these last two days. | ||
| He's been pulling half days. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Well, too many protesters have been jumping in front of his car. | ||
| He can't go anywhere. | ||
| I mean, certainly that could be it. | ||
| Or somebody might make the argument that maybe he's not as committed as he really pretends to be about the info war. | ||
| Could be. | ||
| You're a dick! | ||
| Come on, Alex. | ||
| Calm down. | ||
| I'm just floating theories. | ||
| I'm going to take it away from you. | ||
| I'm just floating theories. | ||
| I'm taking your computer away from you. | ||
| Anyway, Alex has an explanation for why he was gone these two days. | ||
| I really appreciate the crew, and I appreciate all the radio stations, TV stations, and David Knight sitting in the first 45 minutes. | ||
| I had to be in family court yesterday. | ||
| That's why I missed the first hour. | ||
| And then today, I had an extraction of a broken tooth set up months ago. | ||
| COVID-19 shut that down. | ||
| It took a lot of them to get to me. | ||
| So they pulled this molar. | ||
| That's been done. | ||
| We're going to go to break. | ||
| Here's the big announcement. | ||
| The reason you should buy our new iodine spray is because atomic iodine is so incredibly good for your body and because almost no one else is on the market selling true atomic iodine. | ||
| So that's the big news. | ||
| Well, I think the bigger news is that shit won't do anything for your teeth. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, it must be. | ||
| He's been taking it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well... | |
| Whether or not it's sold as a tooth aid, I find it difficult to believe that Alex had a tooth extracted that morning and it's not affecting his speech at all. | ||
| It's possible, but it seems really weird. | ||
| Because, you know, you'd have numbing in the mouth and you'd have swelling and you wouldn't want to be doing a ton of talking. | ||
| You'd risk... | ||
| Dry socket issues. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| There's all kinds of reasons why this would be unadvisable. | ||
| He's been practicing this for years, though. | ||
| What do you think got his neck so big? | ||
| He's been chewing cotton balls in the back of his molar since he was nine. | ||
| You may be on to something. | ||
| He keeps accidentally swallowing him. | ||
| My perspective is you got mouth surgery and you're a talker? | ||
| Take a day. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Take a day. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| He was in family court the other day. | ||
| But the reason that I think that maybe he's not lying, the reason I think it could be true, is that... | ||
| You know, a ways back, an old podcast I used to do, I had a root canal, and then I came immediately and did a show. | ||
| No shit. | ||
| So, like, it is possible, but I do think my voice was pretty altered because of the massive swelling and shit, but I don't know. | ||
| Anyway, Alex said... | ||
| He's got the goods. | ||
| Just take the day off, man! | ||
| Can't take the day off. | ||
| You've got to. | ||
| Info war. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| So, in this next clip, Jordan. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I'm not sure what Alex thinks about Kennedy. | ||
| Which candidate? | ||
| John? | ||
| I am interested to know. | ||
| I'm not sure what Alex's take is on the assassination. | ||
| I know it's a conspiracy. | ||
| False flag. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I don't know what his specific take on it is. | ||
| Because Roger Stone's certainly written a book about it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And Alex has talked about a bunch of things about, like, E. Howard Hunt and the bums on the knoll and whatever. | ||
| But, like... | ||
| I've not really heard a coherent version of what he thinks the conspiracy is, especially not one that's consistent. | ||
| I think he's going to come out with John F. Kennedy jumped into the bullet, and that's why it was so magical. | ||
| Because he was jumping straight into the bullet. | ||
| JFK was Antifa. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| False flagging himself. | ||
| Not so much. | ||
| I'll show the Cubans. | ||
| Not so much. | ||
| This next clip, Alex discusses the assassination, and boy, this doesn't make sense. | ||
| Folks are starting to pay attention to it. | ||
| Last night, I text messaged folks that I know that have worked for the CIA and the FBI and other places, a couple different people, and they said, I've never seen 7277, and I said, look at this. | ||
| And I said, I'm a CIA.gov link talking about it. | ||
| We've never been to our website. | ||
| He's talking about Memorandum 7277, which is the Cold War era proposal from the State Department about trying to de-escalate the Cold War. | ||
| We've talked about it a bunch in the past, but just to clarify. | ||
| And if one thing got Kennedy killed, it was this. | ||
| You know, I don't think Kennedy overall was a bad guy, but he was really buying into this world government business, and he did buy into the gun confiscation plan. | ||
| And it got him killed. | ||
| It was the last straw when they finally said, he's dead. | ||
| And a lot of people that meant well were involved in killing Kennedy. | ||
| What? | ||
| But then it was an even more evil globalist group that was behind trying to get Kennedy to do the gun confiscation that was opening up China and had this new order plan that he was actually opposing. | ||
| So that's why this gets so sophisticated and so... | ||
| So complex. | ||
| We would have been a lot better off if they hadn't killed Kennedy. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So I didn't expect Alex's angle to now be that some good guys in the government decided to kill JFK because... | ||
| They meant well when they assassinated the president. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They're going to do that because he supported gun confiscation. | ||
| That was the last straw for them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They meant well. | |
| Also, there were bad guys in the government who killed him. | ||
| Well, of course. | ||
| Something to do with China or whatever. | ||
| This is bipartisan. | ||
| What? | ||
| This is fucking bizarre. | ||
| Alex could say that that's complex and sophisticated, but what it actually is is stupid and convoluted. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So the CIA.gov link that Alex sent to his buddies who pretend to be inside sources is not the CIA talking about Memorandum 7277 being real or a plan to disarm the citizens. | ||
| It's a link to a CIA posting in their reading room of an issue of the Minutemen's newsletter On Target from 1963 which presents 7277 as a plan to disarm the public. | ||
| This proves nothing. | ||
| And it's from the Minutemen. | ||
| So they were even talking about the Minutemen, an anti-communist nutjob group who are talking about it like this. | ||
| They're not talking about it. | ||
| They're like, look at these right-wing ding-dongs. | ||
| It was one of the things in their newsletter that was about the plan to disarm citizens. | ||
| This is the link that Alex would have sent. | ||
| It doesn't mean anything. | ||
| So also, JFK was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963, whereas... | ||
| Memorandum 7277 was written and released in September 1961. | ||
| So I guess what Alex is saying is that the State Department put out this memo about desires to decrease hostilities between two major powers who could destroy the world if they went to war. | ||
| And this was the last straw for the good guys, question mark, who decided to wait over two years to kill JFK as punishment for this memorandum, which did nothing and clearly didn't succeed in de-escalating the Cold War and happened to line up with exactly when the evil globalists were going. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Got together on this plan to kill the president, even though one group wants to kill him for supporting gun regulation, and the other wants to kill him for not supporting gun regulation. | ||
| This makes no sense. | ||
| It's a comical... | ||
| They're not even doing it together. | ||
| They both just happen to come upon it at the same day. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| They showed up and they're both standing right on either side. | ||
| Holy shit. | ||
| I mean, there's bad JFK conspiracies, but I've never heard anything quite like this. | ||
| This is impressively bad. | ||
| Now, admittedly, the globalists are always at least ten years behind. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| So they were probably planning to kill JFK before he was even president. | ||
| That could be. | ||
| Yeah, that's what makes sense to me. | ||
| I don't know if they were ten years behind in the 60s, though. | ||
| I think they've gotten increasingly behind since then. | ||
| They've been ten years behind since the night's town. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| They were right on schedule then. | ||
| This is sloppy and lazy, even for Alex. | ||
| Like, what he's saying makes absolutely no sense. | ||
| And I guarantee that if Roger Stone weren't keeping a low profile at the moment, he'd come in there and slap Alex around for saying this kind of foolishness on air. | ||
| This is embarrassing. | ||
| Yeah, that's bad. | ||
| Yeah, pretty bad. | ||
| So, Alex gets in this next clip. | ||
| I mentioned that he wants to take calls, but he's trying to get... | ||
| People from a null set to call in. | ||
| And you'll hear that here. | ||
| But what I want to do today is I want to open the phones up for leftists who've woken up to tell their stories. | ||
| People that were in Antifa. | ||
| People that were in the Communist Party. | ||
| People that were in Black Lives Matter. | ||
| To call in and tell us your story of what you witnessed and what you saw. | ||
| Good luck with getting those callers from your audience, Alex. | ||
| I don't know if that's going to happen. | ||
| So it needs to be a simultaneous info warrior and former Antifa member. | ||
| Or communist. | ||
| Or Black Lives Matter. | ||
| Gotcha, gotcha. | ||
| And also Alex opens it up a little bit more. | ||
| There's other folks that he'd like to talk to. | ||
| And I don't believe him for a second on this one. | ||
| Also, I want to open the phones up. | ||
| Four leftists that really do think Trump's bad. | ||
| And really do think that abolishing the police is a good idea. | ||
| Me. | ||
| And who really think that the Democrats and the globalists have your best interest at heart. | ||
| I respectfully hear from you if you seriously disagree. | ||
| I think that there's a distinction here. | ||
| I'd like to respectfully hear from you. | ||
| I'm not going to be respectful. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I'm not going to be respectful at all. | ||
| I already disagree with you in advance. | ||
| There is no point to this conversation at all. | ||
| I will treat you with rank disrespect. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Disdain. | |
| But I need respect from you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I can't imagine anybody listening to his show fitting those descriptions and then being like, yeah, that's a good idea for me to call Alex. | ||
| I can imagine someone fucking with him, maybe, but that's about it. | ||
| That's the best you're going to get. | ||
| I think one of those, even then, one of those pretty much excludes the other two, right? | ||
| Like, you can't be a leftist who really believes in abolishing the police and think that the Democratic Party has your best interests in mind. | ||
| They have no interest in abolishing the police. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But in Alex Jones' world, the Democrats want to abolish the police and want to defund the police department. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi is leading the charge. | ||
| Oh, absolutely. | ||
| The black and white simplistic version of what's going on in Infowars land sort of requires that impression. | ||
| Sure, I suppose. | ||
| So, yeah, I can see how, for you... | ||
| That makes no sense. | ||
| It makes no sense. | ||
| But for an Alex Jones listener, they'd be like, yeah, that must be what those sort of people are like. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Biden is a communist socialist who's coming to take your guns. | ||
| Hard Marxist. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| So in this next clip, Alex talks a little bit about the current situation, a little bit vis-a-vis George Floyd. | ||
| And I think that you can kind of sense a lot of Alex's... | ||
| Universal feelings about situations like these, and then also him starting to get in line with what I assume is going to be a lot of what the right wing has to say about this. | ||
| But he's now the patron saint. | ||
| They've actually got a funeral going on with him as a saint, as an angel with wings, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Maybe we can back that up in five minutes and show the viewers. | ||
| This is ridiculous. | ||
| I'm sad he's dead. | ||
| Doesn't sound like it. | ||
| He is not. | ||
| And I'm not taking on the guilt of the police officers that have all been indicted. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Five of them that were there. | ||
| I didn't do that. | ||
| So I'm not going to be made to feel guilty about anything ever. | ||
| It's just consistent Alex Jones. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Essentially. | ||
| Yeah, when Jesus died, Alex is like, Pontius Pilate knew exactly what he was doing. | ||
| I got no interest in being involved with this shit. | ||
| And the other thing, too, is that I'm noticing a real trend of leaning towards the insistence that George Floyd wasn't a good person, or whatever. | ||
| It's more fine for him to be killed. | ||
| That is exactly right. | ||
| That seems to be the angle of attack that you're seeing a bit more. | ||
| I'm seeing this in some of the right-wing news. | ||
| Sources. | ||
| And now Alex. | ||
| It's a cheap trick. | ||
| And it's meaningless. | ||
| It's ultimately meaningless. | ||
| Whether they're right or wrong, which I don't believe a lot of the things that they're saying in particular, but whether they're right or wrong is irrelevant to the larger situation. | ||
| So, great. | ||
| We see this play out every fucking time. | ||
| They even have almost a time stamp on it where it's like, okay, a week after the murder, People will be emotionally distant from it enough for us to be like, alright, he was obviously an evil guy, right? | ||
| Now that we're all mad and we're all done with that, let's just get together and realize that the cops should be able to kill me. | ||
| And if we can manage it earlier on, let's try and say now is not the time to politicize things. | ||
| No, no, we don't want to politicize things! | ||
| If we're able to pull that off, let's do that. | ||
| It's cheap. | ||
| Either way, let's be disingenuous. | ||
| So now we get to a story that is actually fairly, I'd say, I would say it's tragic. | ||
| I mean, the person isn't dead, so it's not as tragic as it could have ended up being. | ||
| But it's certainly bad, and Alex is going to use this as a perfect example to demonize all protesters. | ||
| Meanwhile, shock video, police say leftist lawyer, George Floyd, protester, shot driver in the head. | ||
| The guy's in the truck. | ||
| He doesn't drive over him. | ||
| He just stops, shoots him in the head. | ||
| And look at the satisfaction on the face for your TV viewer of the liberal lawyer. | ||
| He is a hero. | ||
| He shot a man in the head on video who stopped at a stop sign. | ||
| He's a hero. | ||
| And the left is celebrating him, saying, you know what? | ||
| That truck tried to run him over when it didn't. | ||
| But see, it's all about, oh, a lady had a heart attack and died in Charlottesville. | ||
| Oh, a guy drove a car into a crowd. | ||
| Let's just go jump in front of cars and recreate that to again create the Civil War. | ||
| Let's just start attacking people on highways and beating them up like all the footage we've caught on tape. | ||
| So, what we have here is, this is a situation out of, what is the name of the city? | ||
| Alamosa in Colorado. | ||
| I found the video that was released by KRDO Local News, and it absolutely does not look good. | ||
| And if you're basing your conclusion entirely on the video, it definitely looks like this guy, James Marshall, was way out of line. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Well, I mean, he shot somebody. | ||
| He's way out of fucking line. | ||
| Zero context around that. | ||
| There were about 12 protesters in a small town called Alamosa lining an intersection at a crosswalk. | ||
| A black truck pulls up, and it does appear that he's trying to drive through the intersection. | ||
| There's a distinction, though, in that he doesn't appear to be putting any of the protesters in danger. | ||
| I mean, the guy... | ||
| Heading towards people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So then as he's coming through the intersection, you see a guy appear to shoot him through the window. | |
| And I mean, the guy... | ||
| It's a fucked up mess, obviously. | ||
| No, that's fucked up. | ||
| There's no... | ||
| No. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Honestly, I don't know all the details about the situation at this point since the investigation is still ongoing. | ||
| But the guy who did the shooting has been arrested and he's charged with multiple crimes including attempted murder. | ||
| Yeah, of course. | ||
| I've not seen any indication that anyone is calling him a hero. | ||
| And I suspect that either Alex is making that up because it's what he wants his audience to think the left believes Or he's basing it on a couple random tweets that his intern found which mean nothing Yeah, I'm not entirely sure this is a tragic situation, but like I said the guy who got shot Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I've not heard anyone say this guy's a hero or that this is hooray. | ||
| No, absolutely not. | ||
| If Alex wants to point me in the direction of those op-eds, I'd be willing to reconsider this, but I can't find anything. | ||
| Yeah, and I would be hard-pressed to see anybody... | ||
| You can justify property damage, but nobody on the left at these protests would... | ||
| I can't imagine. | ||
| No, that's horrific. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And at the Unite the Right rally, Heather Heyer didn't die from a heart attack. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely not. | |
| That is a neo-Nazi talking point that Alex is repeating as a way of trying to make it better that they ran her over. | ||
| George Floyd actually died and there were possible intoxicants inside of his system. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So yada yada. | ||
| That's all bullshit, but it's going to work for Alex. | ||
| Like, it's going to allow him to completely write off almost every sort of protest. | ||
| It's meaningless, ultimately, but it'll work for his audience. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| That's going to be... | ||
| There will always be a what about for Alex. | ||
| We're going to hear this story a lot. | ||
| 30 times. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I'm certain they will hear it for a while. | ||
| Every episode, at least, yeah. | ||
| So Alex gets his first caller that is presumably an ex-leftist. | ||
| And I got some red flags on this. | ||
| Oh, let's hear it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm a little bit nervous. | |
| Well, don't be nervous. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think I've called in several times since I started listening in 2011, and I ended up hanging up because of the long wait, but I was really rather pleasantly surprised at how long I didn't have to this time. | |
| So, first red flag. | ||
| She's been an Alex Jones listener since 2011. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Not sure exactly how this works. | ||
| That would be alright. | ||
| I'm like, yeah, maybe you were deeply involved in stuff prior to 2011 or whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| But then she said something else that really was like, wait a second. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My last stint with the peace and justice movement was back in 2003 when we were bombing of... | |
| Whatever, I'm still a little bit nervous. | ||
| What we're doing... | ||
| When we were bombing! | ||
| When we were bombing... | ||
| Statue of the Limitations has passed. | ||
| I'm just going to let you guys know right now. | ||
| What country was that? | ||
| We were bombing. | ||
| First of all, that indicates to me that maybe she wasn't all that invested or all that involved if she doesn't remember what fucking country she was protesting against as bombing. | ||
| Seems like maybe she was a little checked out. | ||
| Also, I got massive red flags. | ||
| On anybody who claims to be an anti-war demonstrator who stops in 2003. | ||
| The moment that we go to war in Iraq. | ||
| We lost! | ||
| You absolutely anti-war protest right up until we go to war. | ||
| And then you're like, well, we lost this one. | ||
| I guess I'll quit. | ||
| That's kind of ridiculous. | ||
| It's very ridiculous. | ||
| It's maybe the most insane thing that somebody could say. | ||
| Yeah, so you have a situation where this caller is presenting themselves as being an ex-person of the left. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And they're just like, yeah, you know, I was anti-war until the war started. | ||
| And then I've been listening to you for like a decade. | ||
| All right. | ||
| You don't count. | ||
| You don't count. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| Whatever leftist credentials you think you have, you don't. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So Alex gets another caller. | |
| And I don't think this guy's, this person's much better. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was hanging around with some of the WSA guys, the Workers Solidarity Alliance, and Do Not Bombs people. | |
| the whole... | ||
| Occupy Wall Street thing hanging around those people just disgusted me. | ||
| I woke up after 9-11 when I was 16 years old. | ||
| I knew that wasn't a... | ||
| I just knew that it wasn't a real thing. | ||
| I could just tell. | ||
| That's whenever I found you in high school. | ||
| So now here's the deal. | ||
| That guy found Alex Jones because he had questions about 9-11 in high school, which predates Occupy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| How on the left were you if you were a huge InfoWars fan who got disgusted by Occupy after being a 9-11 in high school? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So on the left! | |
| So on the left! | ||
| What the fuck is going on? | ||
| He was disgusted with the people at Occupy Wall Street. | ||
| I don't know about this! | ||
| They were doing so much! | ||
| They were the 9-11 of occupying Wall Street! | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whatever. | |
| I'm like, this is the kind of caller that you're going to get calling in when you put out these sorts of, like, this is the person I want to talk to. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| So let's go to another one. | ||
| This person's ridiculous. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was 19 when I voted for Obama. | |
| I loved America. | ||
| I loved my country. | ||
| And I thought, I believed Obama. | ||
| He was very convincing. | ||
| And it was during Benghazi, the media. | ||
| They just didn't tell the truth. | ||
| And I saw they didn't tell the truth with information that was coming out. | ||
| You could watch videos on it. | ||
| The different men that were over there contradicted what the media was saying happened. | ||
| And I started doing research and I found you. | ||
| I probably watched Endgame like 20 times. | ||
| I share it to everybody I know. | ||
| So that's another leftist whose leftist credentials are they voted for Obama and now they've watched Endgame 20 times. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| If you could watch that once and not be like, hold on. | ||
| I lost my mind. | ||
| I literally lost my mind. | ||
| I didn't jokingly lose my mind. | ||
| It was gone. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's something that you could passively watch once if you're not thinking and maybe you're high. | ||
| Like, you could get through it and be like, whoa. | ||
| Yeah, man, that road is a real issue. | ||
| It's not all about a road, just mostly about a road. | ||
| But you could watch it and not, like, have alarm bells go off unless you're critically engaged with it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And if you are, you're like, hold the fucking phone. | ||
| And if you've seen it 20 times, I don't even know what to say. | ||
| It's as good as Avengers. | ||
| No. | ||
| I'll tell you that right now. | ||
| Well, I've not seen Avengers. | ||
| No, it's not that great. | ||
| So she got radicalized by Benghazi. | ||
| Sorry, could you say that one more time? | ||
| I will later. | ||
| Her whole left bona fides are that she voted for Obama. | ||
| I don't understand what's going on here. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| This well of callers is just, this is what you get. | ||
| It's comical. | ||
|
unidentified
|
These people are all fucking weirdo info warriors who maybe... | |
| Dipped their toe into something slightly Democratic Party adjacent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe. | |
| And to think that they're goddamn Antifa. | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Very weird. | ||
| The people I am now most afraid of are anybody. | ||
| Anytime I hear, like, I did some research, I'm like, I shut off. | ||
| I'm done. | ||
| I'm out on whatever you think research is. | ||
| I'm out. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| Well, I mean, in a climate where watching YouTube videos and... | ||
| Reading QAnon posts. | ||
| That's research. | ||
| That's what you got to do. | ||
| You got to be a little bit careful. | ||
| So in this next clip, Alex takes a break from some calls to complain about GoFundMates. | ||
| He's got to whine. | ||
| David Dorn in St. Louis. | ||
| He's a 77-year-old retired police captain who got shot dead trying to stop looting. | ||
| He's black. | ||
| He's raised less than $50,000 on his GoFundMe. | ||
| Still working at 77 for his family. | ||
| But don't worry. | ||
| George Floyd has raised over $13 million. | ||
| That's virtue signaling for you right there. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So one of the unfortunate things that happens in the age of GoFundMe-based community support is that it's a system that's very vulnerable to scams. | ||
| The St. Louis police released a statement themselves warning that there were multiple fake fundraisers for David Dorn. | ||
| And according to a June 3rd article in Fox News, quote, Police say none of the pages have been authorized by his family, and authorities are in the process of taking them down. | ||
| The GoFundMe page that Alex is referring to that has under $50,000 donated to it is actually one of the pages that's listed as an example of a scam fundraiser that authorities are trying to get removed in an article on the website of KMOX out of St. Louis. | ||
| But Alex would see trying to stop scammers as also virtue signaling. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So one of the reasons that the family may not be authorizing GoFundMe pages is because Backstoppers donated $50,000 to the family to help in this hard time. | ||
| Backstoppers is an organization that provides aid for families of police, firefighters, and paramedics who are hurt or killed, so they have a support network already in place. | ||
| I'm not certain that this amount covers all their expenses or anything like that, but it's likely a relevant factor in them not needing to crowdsource all of their assistance. | ||
| Alex is trying to present this as a case of no one caring about David Dorn, but in reality, this is a situation where a bunch of people, who knows who, decided to exploit a tragedy and profit off it. | ||
| Alex has no idea what the reality of the situation is. | ||
| So, in effect, he's lamenting that a fraudulent crowdfunding campaign didn't make enough money, which is nuts. | ||
| Yeah, that's a weird thing to do. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's very strange. | ||
| The official George Floyd GoFundMe page has raised almost $14 million at this point, but my response to that is, so what? | ||
| Yeah, great. | ||
| What do you... | ||
| Hooray! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| $14 million isn't worth a human life, so fuck you. | ||
| Yeah, well, there's that. | ||
| And he had five children. | ||
| There's expenses that are needed for helping them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| No. | ||
| There's a possibility. | ||
| I don't know what the accounting of that money is, and it's not my business, but you would assume that probably at least... | ||
| Some of it is going to go into charitable causes. | ||
| I don't see that as like, haha, the family made $14 million. | ||
| It's like Alex is trying to present. | ||
| There will be plenty of things done in George Floyd's honor with that money. | ||
| So Alex gets a caller. | ||
| This next caller. | ||
| Pretty impressive, I'll say. | ||
| I don't know if I agree with everything the scholar says, but where he starts, pretty good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
People talk about systematic racism in America, and they don't really, like, I don't hear no leaders, nobody talk about this as far as how generational, well, black people, never got a chance to experience generational wealth because of what we went through throughout the history of America. | |
| Yeah, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's really what's causing the, I mean, what's the effect of what we're seeing right now in black communities and, you know, the bad things that we're going through. | |
| I agree with you is that it's the generational wealth system. | ||
| That's why Trump has talked about tax credits for black businesses that are new to not pay taxes for, say, 10 years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Of course you haven't. | ||
| That's what Trump has been proposing. | ||
| They're trying to block it. | ||
| Trying to block it. | ||
| When? | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah, also 100% eating. | ||
| Okay, are you telling me that he got a molar removed and now he's eating something that is very clearly chewy? | ||
| That is something that he is... | ||
| He's not sipping a drink. | ||
| That's something still in there. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| That is an egg roll if I ever heard one. | ||
| That's suspicious. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Also, not charging these businesses tax for 10 years is not the same thing necessarily as solving the problem of how black wealth has been attacked and destroyed for generations. | ||
| And more importantly, I can find no evidence that Trump suggested this or is. | ||
| Good God, no. | ||
| And let me ask you, Jordan. | ||
| Do you believe for a second that people like Alex, who think affirmative action is a brutal attack on whites, would hear Trump come out and say that black business owners don't have to pay taxes for a decade, but white business owners do, and their response would be like, hey, that's a great idea. | ||
| No fucking chance. | ||
| Alex would call that globalist reparations or some shit, and then it's a plan to keep the white man poor. | ||
| Alex just made this up because he's eating. | ||
| And he has absolutely no response to the very real point this caller is making. | ||
| So he decides to make something up that he should be totally opposed to, but Alex thinks will placate the caller and be like, oh, I haven't heard about that. | ||
| Of course you haven't. | ||
| Of course, it's not real. | ||
| Did you hear that Trump proposed giving every black person $100,000 tomorrow? | ||
| And Democrats are trying to block it. | ||
| Your mouth doesn't sound full enough. | ||
| So your impression is off. | ||
| So Alex gets another caller. | ||
| That caller had nothing to do with being formally on the left. | ||
| More just about this point. | ||
| But this caller is apparently a creature of the left. | ||
| Oh, hey there, Jonesy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can you keep your mouth shut to let me get my point across quickly? | |
| Well, you sound like a nasty leftist, but go ahead, please. | ||
| You called. | ||
| Is that Millie? | ||
| Tell you what, hold on. | ||
| I got an onion ring right here. | ||
| They went and got me from one of my favorite places called Dan's. | ||
| So while you sit there and talk, I'll make this iron. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, no, you're already coming off. | |
| It's okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I knew that was going to happen. | |
| You're going to eat anyway. | ||
| Yeah, that was pretty obvious. | ||
| So this caller is of the left. | ||
| Even an onion ring with an open molar? | ||
| Are you shitting me? | ||
| That is going to really sting. | ||
| Yeah, you're going to get dry socket. | ||
| Yeah, that's going to be real bad. | ||
| Bullshit. | ||
| So this caller goes on, and this... | ||
| Mic down for this, because this is a ride. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I've done a little research into your info, Warriors. | |
| And what happened to the old firepower news? | ||
| Where's your old black anchor? | ||
| Huh? | ||
| You racist? | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| I'm very, very racist because we ended up not doing Firepower News due to lack of crew, and we've been trying to hire more crew, and it still hasn't worked out. | ||
| That's why for at least a month or two, we're going to have to suspend doing the latest show. | ||
| We're doing Barnes. | ||
| This show is very popular. | ||
| We just haven't been able to hire the crew or get the crew. | ||
| We're probably going to suspend that for about two months until the election so we can bring... | ||
| Countdown America back with Barnes. | ||
| And, of course, I'm being racist against Barnes as well. | ||
| We've had a big crew problem getting enough high-quality crew in here to run the show. | ||
| So if I hire a black guy and have him on as a guest, and then we do a show as a test, and then we have to stop the show for a while, that is inherently bad. | ||
| So, I mean, this is like real weird leftist ideology. | ||
| You're like calling in to say that I've engaged in an evil, racist act. | ||
| Tell me more about what I did. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm totally messing with you. | |
| I follow the show. | ||
| I use bodies. | ||
| I use a Tuesday. | ||
| It's all awesome. | ||
| Alright, I appreciate your call, Jack. | ||
| We're not trying to make jokes about this. | ||
| So, that's lame. | ||
| But, this caller who thinks they're pulling a stunt accidentally kind of highlighted a bit of proof that Alex is making stuff up to cover his own racist ass. | ||
| So this caller jokingly accuses Alex of being racist for stopping the show Firepower, which featured his only black on-air talent, Will Johnson. | ||
| Alex claims that he stopped doing that show because they couldn't find the crew. | ||
| It's just a crew thing. | ||
| But in his defense, he actually disproves his own claim. | ||
| While he's trying to defend himself, Alex disproves this. | ||
| Barnes' show started after Firepower ended. | ||
| Whatever crew Barnes is using could easily be handling Firepower, so the crew excuse just doesn't work. | ||
| For some reason, Alex did not value Firepower as much as he values the possibility of doing another show. | ||
| But it gets worse. | ||
| The other host of Firepower was Tom Papert. | ||
| If you go to band.video, you'll see an entire section of the site dedicated to Tom Papert and his dumb blog Nationalphile. | ||
| Will Johnson, the other host of Firepower, still runs his own thing called Unite America First, which there are no links to on band.video. | ||
| None. | ||
| None. | ||
| Will still has his own YouTube channel, and he's posted stuff that sounds really Alex Jones-y as recently as today. | ||
| There's absolutely no reason that his self-produced content couldn't still be platformed on Band.Video unless there's another reason that Alex isn't doing so. | ||
| I can think of one. | ||
| I'm not saying this is proof of Alex being racist, although he is, but it definitely calls into question the argument that he didn't have the crew to keep Will around. | ||
| Meme World, Tommy Robinson, David Icke, and Caitlin Bennett, they all have pages on band.video, and those are just third-party produced content. | ||
| So it's really suspicious that Will Johnson doesn't have a page himself. | ||
| It could be a personal thing. | ||
| I can imagine Alex sucks to work with, but I don't believe the crew thing at all. | ||
| And honestly, I think that what happened was at one of these Trump rallies, Will Johnson was the guy who got interviewed by CBS News, and then it got really embarrassing when everyone pointed out that was an Infowars reporter that you interviewed, and he didn't. | ||
| He didn't announce himself as an InfoWars reporter. | ||
| I think that was really not good. | ||
| And maybe Will Johnson was like, if it's going to be bad for me to express my opinion or whatever, I don't want to be associated. | ||
| I could see that being the case. | ||
| Honestly, my first thought is less anything to do with Alex, because I think he actually would really love having a black host that he could do the whole thing with. | ||
| But it's probably more an indictment of how racist Infowars viewers are. | ||
| How could you sustain a show that, you know, nobody's watching because everybody on Infowars is a fucking racist? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Ask Owen. | ||
| No one watches his shit. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| That is fair. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Never mind. | ||
| Alex is a giant racist piece of shit. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's just weird. | |
| So are Infowars viewers. | ||
| It's a whole team. | ||
| Look, dude, I would say that... | ||
| Based on viewership and whatever you're putting in versus what you're getting out in terms of ratings and all that stuff, you have every reason to cancel that show. | ||
| If you're just using it on a straight calculus, I don't see that being a racist decision in and of itself, although not canceling Owen or David Knight's show is probably sketchy, but they've been around forever, so you could grandfather them in to be allowed to be bad. | ||
| ranks or whatever. | ||
| But it's more notable to me that he doesn't have a page on band.video and Yeah, I think you're right. | ||
| That's a little strange to me. | ||
| I think you're very much right. | ||
| Now, the only thing that makes this really suspicious to me is this clearly fake excuse about we didn't have the crew. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That's bullshit. | ||
| That's nonsense. | ||
| That to me is like, okay, Alex. | ||
| That's nonsense. | ||
| Also, that gag was the most predictable thing ever. | ||
| That dude playing a little character. | ||
| You hear that voice and you're like, come on, man. | ||
| Trying to get leftists and former leftists to call into his show doesn't work. | ||
| You just get people who think they were leftists because they supported anti-war causes until a war started, and Infowars fans pretending they're on Comedy Bang Bang. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| Yeah, I would be very surprised for a leftist to call in and then provide Alex a platform to advertise his other shows and do so very quietly and patiently. | ||
| So, in this next clip, Alex gets another caller, and this guy has some suspicions about Mike Pence, because Mike Pence is apparently too kind and too nice. | ||
| To Pete Buttigieg. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Pence has said good things about Buttigieg? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, yeah, like when Buttigieg was getting up in the polls, you know, they asked Pence about a couple things that Buttigieg had said, and he just said that he was like a nice guy and that they had worked together on a couple different bills, you know? | |
| And I'm not saying he should talk bad about him or anything, but like, I don't know. | ||
| I just don't know if I trust Pence because, I mean, honestly, I feel like... | ||
| If Rand Paul was the vice president, more people would come to his base, you know? | ||
| I like Rand Paul more than Pence. | ||
| You say you're a Democrat or a Republican. | ||
| Tell us about that. | ||
| Alex is still eating. | ||
| This is another call. | ||
| How much is he going to eat today? | ||
| This is bad. | ||
| This is three callers long that he's been eating. | ||
| It's tragic. | ||
| Hey, buddy, don't worry about Pence. | ||
| He still wishes that Buttigieg would die and God would smite him. | ||
| He's just a nice guy until then. | ||
| This is ridiculous. | ||
| So Alex asks, you used to be on the left. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| What happened? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just feel like right around the time of Benghazi and... | |
| What are we doing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What are we fucking doing? | |
| Obama just really wasn't saying... | ||
| What he meant, you know? | ||
| He was just kind of... | ||
| I feel like he was just reading lines and stuff, and then... | ||
| Well, he wrote them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right around that, Trump came out with the birther thing, and it kind of just woke me up a little bit. | |
| Wow. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Cool. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, boy. | |
| You know... | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Benghazi, huh? | ||
| A lot of people doing Benghazi. | ||
| Birtherism, too. | ||
| Birtherism and Benghazi. | ||
| The two Bs. | ||
| It's interesting that this sort of unofficial poll... | ||
| It seems to be showing that a lot of people lost their minds around Benghazi. | ||
| But it makes sense. | ||
| I mean, that was an incredibly full-court press kind of thing from people like Alex and all the right-wing media. | ||
| So it makes sense that it would have been an effective campaign for them. | ||
| But maybe it's something I underestimate a little bit in terms of having... | ||
| A real transformative effect on a lot of people. | ||
| Or if you were into birtherism, go fuck yourself. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Maybe you weren't that great to begin with. | ||
| Maybe if you found that persuasive, maybe that means it's you. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Like when Biden in the 70s was like, segregation's probably fine. | ||
| He's not on the left. | ||
| So, in this next clip, Alex is trying to get to Steve Pachanik, but Skype ain't working. | ||
| Alex cannot figure out how to use Skype. | ||
| This is astonishing. | ||
| That's the only thing that makes me believe the crew thing is he couldn't even have a crew for his own show. | ||
| Well, they're there. | ||
| They're just not good. | ||
| He does actually complain that's like, we get these people who apply and then they find out that it's Alex Jones and they say no. | ||
| Oh, what a surprise! | ||
| Yeah, what a shock. | ||
| I'm not worried for you. | ||
| Get the fuck out of here. | ||
| So instead of talking to Steve, he does an entire segment pitching iodine. | ||
| The new one, there's not even enough money in it to do 40% off or 50% off. | ||
| So here is the new write-up. | ||
| It's finally here. | ||
| Introducing the new Survival Shield X2 spray available for 33% off, $19.95 intro pricing at Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| Listeners have been asking us for months to develop an iodine spray made with our exclusive Deep Earth Crystal nascent iodine. | ||
| After extensive development, it's finally here. | ||
| Introducing the first-of-its-kind nascent iodine spray made with true atomic iodine. | ||
| Our proprietary new Aerodyne technology allows us to harness the full power of... | ||
| Ancient iodine crystals from below 7,000 feet in the Earth's surface in the Ultimate Spray Formula. | ||
| I've been using X2 Spray every day the last few months, and I really feel good. | ||
| It's so weird to hear him do a straight ad read off a page. | ||
| But it's also weird how it has that testimonial there. | ||
| I've been taking it for months and I feel very good. | ||
| Yeah, that was also on the ad copy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was not him breaking into editorialize. | |
| Definitely. | ||
| Very suspicious. | ||
| So, we get to Steve. | ||
| Man! | ||
| How's Steve doing? | ||
| Well, I missed him a little bit, just because, you know... | ||
| I think we should defund the government and only fund the police! | ||
| I mean, he does want to break down the entire State Department, pretty much everything about government. | ||
| I can't imagine why he wouldn't be in favor of the police department shrinking, but whatever. | ||
| I just think that he usually is the kind of kook who really swings. | ||
| He takes hard swings. | ||
| He does. | ||
| And he's cranky, and sometimes he yells at Alex. | ||
| So there's an unpredictability to his appearances on the show that I can always appreciate. | ||
| This isn't the best appearance, but there are a couple things in here that are kind of interesting, I think worthwhile. | ||
| And here is Alex saying hello. | ||
| Dr. Steve Pachanik of stevepachanik.com, author, researcher, for the State Department of Psychological Warfare. | ||
| Ran some of major operations, including regime change. | ||
| If he just joined us, I'd like him to start over so he's not up against the break with what we're witnessing with George Floyd, what the Democrats are doing, the bowing, the kneeling, the mask, all of this classic cult programming behavior, and what he expects them to pull next. | ||
| So that's the setup of what we got going. | ||
| What's he going to pull next? | ||
| Here's what Steve has to say about the entire situation that's going on in the world right now. | ||
| What we're really witnessing is a mad magazine version of agitation propaganda. | ||
| And the reason I say that with a smile is because Nancy Pelosi is not very bright. | ||
| Neither are the leaders of the Democratic Party. | ||
| And what you're seeing is a parody of what agitation propaganda is supposed to be. | ||
| People like myself who've been in the business of agitation propaganda, we normally create all kinds of disturbances and send things on fire, and we know exactly what it is we want to do. | ||
| We want to polarize the country to the extent that the police force comes in and basically engages that populace in some form of covert or overt warfare. | ||
| In this case, it's a complete disaster. | ||
| Or maybe that's not what's happening. | ||
| Maybe your analysis is completely off. | ||
| Also, good to know that you went in and set fires in order to get police to beat up populists in various countries. | ||
| Good, Steve. | ||
| Proud of you. | ||
| Proud of you, Steve. | ||
| Goes into a McDonald's like, this is the worst Olive Garden I've ever seen. | ||
| I can't believe these people are trying to do an Olive Garden in here. | ||
| I can't believe how incompetent they are at salad bars at this McDonald's. | ||
| Where's the pasta? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Breadsticks! | |
| Breadsticks! | ||
| What are these? | ||
| What are these potato things that I'm seeing right here? | ||
| It's like saying, if this were agitation propaganda, it's being done terribly, but then you take the if off it. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So, good. | ||
| Great work. | ||
| So, Steve discusses this idea that, you know, this is all just agitation propaganda, and he has one reason why this is a bad move. | ||
| In this case, it's a complete disaster. | ||
| Number one, George Floyd is the wrong example to deify or to make the key element of an agitation propaganda. | ||
| Number one, he's a felon. | ||
| He's a career felon. | ||
| What happened to him is unfortunate, but it happens to all the felons, whether they're white and black. | ||
| Police have to do what they have to do. | ||
| That argument is not good so far. | ||
| Apparently, police just have to kill felons. | ||
| They gotta do what they gotta do. | ||
| If you commit a crime, you gotta die. | ||
| That's the rule. | ||
| If you're a felon, you gotta die. | ||
| It's not your fault. | ||
| It's not your fault. | ||
| You committed a crime and now the police kill you. | ||
| That's just normal behavior. | ||
| That's really fucked up. | ||
| Yeah, that's super fucked up. | ||
| So beyond that, Steve's argument that Floyd is the wrong victim to start an agitation propaganda campaign on might also be evidence of two things. | ||
| One. | ||
| That this isn't an agitation propaganda campaign. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| And two, people aren't just mad about George Floyd. | ||
| This was a clear and flagrant example of something that has been a problem for a very long time, and it represented a tipping point for a lot of people. | ||
| Demonizing George Floyd may feel important for the right-wing propagandist ding-dongs, but it's really missing the forest for the trees. | ||
| Floyd could have had every drug in the world, Mm-hmm. | ||
| Dwelling on whether or not George Floyd was a good enough person not to be killed is the definition of missing the point, but it's crucial for people like Steve and Alex, because on some level, I think they have to recognize that the protests are having results, and I imagine that that makes them very scared. | ||
| Oh, they don't really like it. | ||
| The best trick that they can think of is to attack the murder victim that they think that this is all about, but it's not going to be effective in any way. | ||
| They can probably harden their base up a little bit with this and make them feel better for hating the protests and the protesters. | ||
| But I can't imagine anyone who understands what's going on being swayed by this at all and seeing it as anything other than a complete disconnect from reality. | ||
| And if you want to play this game, choose another person who's been killed by the police. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No shit. | |
| Choose one in fucking Philando Castile. | ||
| Stay in Minneapolis. | ||
| How many do we have in Minneapolis? | ||
| That's the point. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| That's the situation. | ||
| More realistically put, and Steve obviously couldn't say that about every single person. | ||
| So yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I think that Steve's a dum-dum, and this is stupid, but it's a way to try and use the veneer of his psych warfare nonsense to apply to the situation and be like, this is a classic old ring-a-ding. | ||
| He used to do this all the time back in Honduras or whatever. | ||
| And it's just meaningless. | ||
| Well, and it's even more dumb. | ||
| Because that opens him up to, okay, fine, you think Floyd is the wrong person, who's the right person? | ||
| And then you go down the fucking list, and your point is made. | ||
| Well, yeah, certainly. | ||
| That's one way to put it. | ||
| So, Steve believes that all the old suspects are in the mix. | ||
| You've got the CIA elements, you've got the FBI elements, you've got some of the other elements within our deep state, which is... | ||
| You guys explained quite well. | ||
| Now, let me tell you who the leaders are. | ||
| None of that means anything. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| So now, do you want to know who some of the leaders are? | ||
| I want to know who some of the leaders are. | ||
| Now, let me tell you who the leaders are. | ||
| First, you have Alan Sharpton. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Reverend Alan Sharpton. | ||
| Alan Sharpton? | ||
| Everybody knows. | ||
| Have you ever heard anyone call him that? | ||
| No. | ||
| And you never will because his name is short for Alfred. | ||
| Yeah, I was going to say, that's not his name. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| Come on, Steve. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Do better. | ||
| You're doing a very bad job of agitation propaganda right now. | ||
| Do better, Steve. | ||
| Go write a book about Alan Sharpton. | ||
| Pretend Tom Clancy wrote it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anyway, in this next clip. | ||
| Steve suggests something really troubling. | ||
| And it's couched in what begins kind of like sensibility. | ||
| It's bad. | ||
| What did you make of the Secretary of Defense saying Trump's wrong? | ||
| And maybe Trump was wrong to say Insurrection Act. | ||
| He is wrong. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| He may have been wrong, but his job was to keep his mouth quiet. | ||
| So they're expressing that Trump may have been wrong to want to use the Insurrection Act, but Mark Esper should have shut his fucking mouth. | ||
| Of course, you don't criticize anybody in power. | ||
| You don't want anybody in positions where they can make a difference to say something when something clearly wrong is being done. | ||
| Wait until you retire and you've written a book. | ||
| Duh! | ||
| And then eventually say you were following orders to make yourself feel better. | ||
| Because nobody ever remembers the Nuremberg trials. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I honestly don't understand the perspective of like, yes, the president was considering and talking about doing something that would be dangerous and is completely wrong, but you should let him do it. | ||
| Well, of course. | ||
| Because. | ||
| He's the president. | ||
| He's your boss. | ||
| Yeah, that's all you, you know. | ||
| Can you imagine them making that argument in any other circumstance where it's like, fucking fall in line? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| That's what they do. | ||
| When Benghazi happened. | ||
| They should have fallen in line! | ||
| Shut your fucking mouth! | ||
| God, I hate these people so much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I hate them so much. | ||
| Are you going to hate them more in this next clip? | ||
| I believe it. | ||
| Because the two of them get to talking about Kushner, Jared Kushner. | ||
| And I think this conversation could be described in one word. | ||
| Anti-Semitic? | ||
| No, pathetic. | ||
| At the same time, he has to reconfigure some of this White House. | ||
| Trump. | ||
| I don't want to get in the particulars, but he needs people who are a lot sharper. | ||
| Well, he needs to get rid of Jared Kushner, doesn't he? | ||
| Well, everybody needs to go. | ||
| Family issues is a very delicate issue. | ||
| No, no, I've not been at war with Kushner, but I really trust Tucker Carlson, and he's been on the inside, and he tells me that Kushner is literally the worst thing on the planet. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I have no problem with that. | ||
| I said it up front, but that's his family, but he has to get rid of Jared Kushner. | ||
| He has to get rid of Asper. | ||
| He has to rebuild a team that's not based on the neocons. | ||
| When he brought in George John Bolton, that was a very bad signal to me. | ||
| And in fact, he had to pay for that for many months later. | ||
| The issue now is he has to bring in economists and people who are involved in companies where they are big, the Boeings, the Lockheed Martins. | ||
| I don't care about the military-industrial complex. | ||
| It has to come back online. | ||
| This is wild. | ||
| For someone who is a quote-unquote respected expert on Alex Jones' show to be like... | ||
| Coming in and being like, we need Lockheed Martin guys in the administration. | ||
| This is bananas. | ||
| This is wild. | ||
| This is beyond wild. | ||
| All of Alex's documentaries include little selected clips of Eisenhower's speech about the military-industrial conflict. | ||
| What are you guys doing? | ||
| What is happening? | ||
| We need to get Esper out and replace him with somebody from Lockheed Martin because Esper dared open his mouth when Trump was going to do something really bad. | ||
| Unhinged. | ||
| Unhinged. | ||
| Let's get... | ||
| Let's get the Koch brothers. | ||
| I don't know which one of them is dead, but bring his ghost along, too. | ||
| Let him run everything! | ||
| It's convoluted. | ||
| It makes no sense. | ||
| And, I mean, I guess, honestly, the problem is that we're trying to hold on to a little bit of sanity while watching something that's increasingly insane. | ||
| And that's ultimately going to lead to this sort of friction of like, wait, wait, wait, wait, you don't believe that? | ||
| No, of course not. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| That's nonsense! | ||
| In reality, if you were just listening to Alex's show and you believed him, at a certain point, you would have surrendered already. | ||
| You would have given up and be just on the... | ||
| Fine. | ||
| You would be a subject of the tides of whatever is being talked about on the show. | ||
| You would literally come to the end of 1984. | ||
| It's the last line. | ||
| I mean, I'm sure that Alex could find some... | ||
| What? | ||
| I don't know, some document somewhere that he could make an argument that, oh, wait, we've been wrong all along. | ||
| The military-industrial complex is good. | ||
| It's actually really good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Right? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I mean, he's already said that globalism would be good if it was all under Trump. | ||
| Well, of course it would. | ||
| The problem isn't the methods or anything. | ||
| It's just the people. | ||
| It's just the bad people, Dan. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They're Satanists. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So, look, dude, one of the things that we don't understand, no one understands. | ||
| Is that Trump gets things done. | ||
| No, he doesn't! | ||
| Strongly disagree. | ||
| You strongly disagree. | ||
| The reality of Trump is what the Democrats don't understand and people like me and you do understand. | ||
| He gets things done. | ||
| He eliminated regulation. | ||
| He got our economy back on place. | ||
| For the first time in our history, we shot an American rocket. | ||
| Think of that. | ||
| An American rocket into space. | ||
| From an American sight. | ||
| That means for 40 years. | ||
| For the first time in our history. | ||
| We had to use Russian rockets at the cost of $75 million each shot to go into space from Kazakhstan. | ||
| Here's a president of the United States who says, you know what? | ||
| I'm going to make space war and I'm going to make NASA the most important. | ||
| We're making space war? | ||
| He called Musk in and said, do it. | ||
| And cut the regulations. | ||
| Alright, you guys, you can't prove that Trump said, hey, you must do this. | ||
| Also, Elon Musk's rocket stuff long predates Trump being in office. | ||
| Now, that being said, I think you responded to a very fitting, appropriate thing, and that is that the anti-war people... | ||
| Presumably, are sitting here talking about space war. | ||
| They're anti-Earth war, Dan. | ||
| Space war's fine. | ||
| Burn the atmosphere entirely, and then we only have to fight wars in space because everybody on Earth is dead. | ||
| Very dumb. | ||
| Yeah, it's super smart. | ||
| Also, Steve's lying. | ||
| That was not the first U.S. launch in 40 years. | ||
| The last one was in 2011. | ||
| It's been nine years, and the last one was under Obama. | ||
| The space shuttle Atlantis took its last man trip to the International Space Station on July 8, 2011. | ||
| That was the third launch from the U.S. that year. | ||
| If you're including unmanned launches into this, then Atlas V launched on May 17th, 2020 out of Cape Canaveral, so I have no idea what point Steve is trying to make here. | ||
| It kind of feels like Trump has gotten so little done that in order to make it seem like he's gotten a lot done, his stooges just make shit up. | ||
| Yeah, he has not done anything. | ||
| Not much. | ||
| You've got deregulation, and then... | ||
| And you've got deregulation. | ||
| He's talked a lot of shit. | ||
| Yeah, he's talked a lot. | ||
| Well, I guess he's confirmed the worst number of judicial appointees that's ever been done. | ||
| There is that. | ||
| In history. | ||
| Weirdly, they don't bring that up. | ||
| I don't think they want people to pay attention to that. | ||
| That's usually a bad idea to... | ||
| So, apparently Trump told Elon Musk, hey, buddy, get that rocket up there. | ||
| I don't think he did, but okay. | ||
| Well, apparently he did because they have a secret. | ||
| Let me tell you this. | ||
| I'm sure you know this. | ||
| The guys that told me this were in the meeting. | ||
| I said, well, this is classified. | ||
| They said, it's okay. | ||
| You can say they've got a deal, him and Musk, to actually in like a year, they've already got robots up on the moon with these 3D printers and they're already building a base on the dark side of the moon for the Mars shot. | ||
| That's what they told you, but that's correct. | ||
| They're going from that and they're going straight into Mars. | ||
| That's correct. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So apparently Trump and Elon Musk have a secret Mars base. | ||
| Trump has tried to build moon bases on many different album titles in the past. | ||
| Starship. | ||
| Yeah, they were amazing. | ||
| Jefferson Starship. | ||
| There is talk about... | ||
| He built this city on the dark side of the moon. | ||
| I believe that was the name of the song. | ||
| Distant, down-the-road kind of conversations about the possibility of building something on the moon. | ||
| But the idea that they're doing it now, I'm going to need a citation. | ||
| I want med beds. | ||
| Before we get a building on the moon, give me med beds. | ||
| Also, I do think that this would be an international incident if Trump and Elon Musk were creating a base on the moon. | ||
| Because space is not owned by the United States. | ||
| There's a cooperative aspect to it. | ||
| No, that's why they're building it on the dark side of the moon. | ||
| There's no way for Russia and China to get that kind of high-level information. | ||
| I mean, unless they were to listen to Alex Jones' fucking show. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or notice from the International Space Station. | ||
| Or have a telescope. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I think this is a load of shit, but it's fun. | ||
| It is fun. | ||
| Also, kind of makes it a little bit sillier that Alex got mad that everybody thought that he thought there was Mars bases. | ||
| Now there's a moon base. | ||
| There's a moon base. | ||
| Yeah, why not? | ||
| Also, Moonraker. | ||
| Totally real. | ||
| Definitely. | ||

|
So... | |
| Yeah, I got red flags on this, but Alex is not fucking around. | ||
| He's very serious. | ||
| We're back in space. | ||
| America is going to release all these suppressed technologies, disruptive technologies, as they're called. | ||
| That's why a lot of the corrupt power structures are so upset. | ||
| But a lot of other groups are very, very excited. | ||
| And I was told by folks that were in the meetings with the president and Musk, and I was told, go ahead and talk about it, that they've already got a little base on the dark side of the moon. | ||
| They got 3D printers ready. | ||
| They've got a bunch of other stuff to do a test rocket to Mars. | ||
| In the next couple of years, they're just going to announce it. | ||
| And then they're going to have man go. | ||
| And then the excitement around that is exactly what we need. | ||
| They've already got the base there. | ||
| Not it's being built. | ||
| It's already there. | ||
| This has already changed within the course of a couple of minutes. | ||
| Also, there's literally no way that Alex would be cleared to disseminate this information if this were something that was happening. | ||
| I'm starting to think. | ||
| There's a third guy in a meeting with the president and Elon Musk, and they're like, hey, look, we got a base on the moon. | ||
| We got 3D printers up there and robots. | ||
| Alex, go ahead and go for it. | ||
| Alex! | ||
| Alex, come on! | ||
| Alex, we want you... | ||
| You are our mouthpiece. | ||
| ...to randomly talk about this with Steve Pachenik on your stupid radio show after you get mouth surgery. | ||
| I'm starting to think they don't want to talk about how the protests have already accomplished more than Trump has in office. | ||
| Yeah, that's probably... | ||
| I don't think they want to talk about that. | ||
| There's a moon base! | ||
| These damn protests will not get a moon base. | ||
| No, that's true. | ||
| They will not end in a moon base. | ||
| It's possible. | ||
| So this is the end. | ||
| That's actually the last clip that we have because their interview sort of... | ||
| Wines to an uneventful end, and then Paul Joseph Watson takes over for the fourth hour. | ||
| So Alex, I mean, he did Half Shift, and I honestly, because of the move and everything, and because Alex was out of studio, I was very seriously considering not doing an episode, but when I heard Steve was on... | ||
| I'm like, it's the siren song. | ||
| It's gotta be. | ||
| I inevitably get drawn to it. | ||
| I know. | ||
| And it unfortunately didn't live up to what I wanted it to be, except for Alan Sharpton, of course, is pretty funny. | ||
| That's pretty great. | ||
| But in the process, finding that string of calls. | ||
| Was absurd to me. | ||
| Bananas. | ||
| And I was like, we could talk about this. | ||
| Granted, this is a little bit of a shorter episode, but that's how it goes when life is... | ||
| Yeah, we're giving you a shorter episode or the correct length of an episode according to every other podcast in the world. | ||
| Yeah, perhaps. | ||
| I'm very tempted to get those coconut drinks and force another hour out of this, but I'm not going to. | ||
| So, yeah, I mean, I guess the message that I come away from this with, as I look at it through trying to see Alex within his context... | ||
| I see a concerted effort to try and invalidate the protests and invalidate what he thinks is the core of it while he's missing the point entirely. | ||
| And to me, that suggests that he's worried about it. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| And, I mean, the stuff about, like, really making a big deal out of the guy who shot the guy in the truck, you know, that obviously is something that does, you know, the guy... | ||
| Should have the consequences that come to people who shoot people. | ||
| He's an attempted murderer. | ||
| Yeah, but using that to be like, ah, they're all shooting guys in trucks or whatever, that's pretty standard Alex behavior. | ||
| That kind of stuff is pretty normal features, but the rest of this, I see a bit of fear in him. | ||
| And I think that's what he's expressing when he's trying to get these calls from people who used to be in Antifa. | ||
| I think, one, he's seeing that Project Veritas did this clear bullshit piece that was a guy inside Antifa, and he's like, ah, I could do that, too. | ||
| Just a caller. | ||
| Someone will make something up, and then no one does. | ||
| It's disappointing. | ||
| He doesn't engender a lot of improv students in his audience. | ||
| And then the other thing with those calls, too, is that... | ||
| Trying to get the message that, like, it's okay to come over here on this side. | ||
| And unfortunately, all the examples you get are people who... | ||
| Or not indicative of like, hey, it's cool to come over. | ||
| I was fine. | ||
| I didn't think Obama was born here. | ||
| I still voted for him because you got to give it up to a guy who didn't even who wasn't even born here becoming president. | ||
| And then Benghazi. | ||
| And then Benghazi. | ||
| And what? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Why is Benghazi such a thing for people? | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| So we'll be back on Friday. | ||
| But until then, Jordan. | ||
| We have a website. | ||
| We do have a website. | ||
| It's knowledgefight.com. | ||
| Yep, we're all on Twitter. | ||
| We are all on Twitter. | ||
| It's at knowledgefight and I go to bed, Jordan. | ||
| We are also on Facebook. | ||
| We are on Facebook. | ||
| If you could, please find a local bail fund or charity in your area to help take care of people. | ||
| We'll be back, but until then, I'm Neo, I'm Leo, I'm DZX Clark, I'm Alan Sharpton. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||
