Today, Dan and Jordan discuss the end of the past week on The Alex Jones Show. In this installment, Alex warns of imminent "antifa terrorist attacks" that never ended up happening, and signs off on Steve Pieczenik saying that America is a business and that liberty is nonsense.
Alex has some pretty serious news that he has to deliver.
And it's a lot of nonsense, and it took a pretty long time, but I was able to figure out what was going on here.
But before we get down to business on this episode, Jordan, we're going to take a moment to say thank you to some folks who have signed up and are supporting the show.
If 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, and we would appreciate it.
I like it, although I was distracted because anytime I hear the word bindle, I can't help but think of a friend of mine from Missouri who described, like, sort of poser, bohemian types.
And so we'll get to some of that falsifiable stuff.
But I thought that we should do something we don't do very often, and that is follow up on some other stories that Alex has recently reported on where he got them completely wrong.
I feel like there might be some value in beginning this episode today by taking a look at a couple of stories from the past week or so that he covered and made completely unfounded assertions about.
Which have turned out to be complete nonsense.
The first story I'm going to check in on was the Twitter hack that happened a little while back, where verified accounts like Obama and Elon Musk, they had their accounts taken over, and they were used to run a Bitcoin scam.
Back on July 17th, Alex covered the story, and this is how he presented it.
When the Twitter hack happened, I recognized it was a message right away about who got hit.
Clearly, the Bitcoin scam was just a cover for who was really behind it, what was going on, and you better believe it's patriots inside U.S. intelligence agencies.
On July 31st, NBC8 out of Tampa reported on the arrest of a 17-year-old Floridian dude named Graham Clark, who is accused of masterminding the hack.
From the article, quote, Okay, so what did he do wrong?
Well, Clark was one of three suspected individuals in the scheme, the others being a 22-year-old named Nima Fazeli, aka Alright, I'm on their team so far.
I feel like they're the ones who've committed the crime.
Quote, Clark used social engineering to convince a Twitter employee that he was a co-worker in the IT department and had the employee provide credentials to access the customer service portal.
From the appearances of the information that's come out about this investigation so far, it looks like an almost impossible...
Impressively simple scam and one that is nuts to think actually worked.
There's no evidence to support Alex's fabricated coverage of the story.
But honestly, the other story he's lied about is much worse.
OK, on July 25th, protester Garrett Foster was shot and killed in Austin.
Alex has falsely reported on the story in order to justify Foster's killing, and that's awful.
The thing I want to focus on, however, is what Alex said on the July 30th show about the identity of the person who shot Foster.
They have armed vehicles going around with men in pickup trucks, stopping traffic in downtown Austin, other areas, pointing guns at people, and the police are being told to stand down.
One man who kept doing this in front of police headquarters in front of the city council was shot dead last weekend when he pulled a gun on.
A man in his car while they had it blocked off and the man was pointing an AK-47 at the innocent citizen.
We still don't know the man's name who turned himself into police and was released.
Probably not white is the reason that they're not releasing the information.
This is a very standard trick of white supremacist and white nationalist commentators.
Whenever there's a crime committed and the identity of the perpetrator is not announced, it's a default position for them to insist that it has to be because the perpetrator is a non-white person, and that doesn't fit the narrative that the media wants to push.
This itself is a narrative that these racists want to push, namely that there's a cover-up of crimes being committed by minorities, which is part of the intentional plan to demonize white people.
You see this all over the white identity spectrum, and no matter how many times their speculation is wrong, they never stop pulling this move.
On July 31st, the man who shot Garrett Foster identified himself.
His name is Daniel Perry.
He is an active duty sergeant in the U.S. Army stationed at Fort Hood.
He claims that he shot Foster in self-defense and that Foster pointed his rifle at him.
Alex has made this claim, but the evidence that I've seen provided doesn't seem to support this argument, namely that he pointed his rifle at Perry.
If that is the case, he definitely shouldn't have done that, but I do think the argument of self-defense becomes a little bit murky when prior to the alleged self-defense you drove your car into a crowd of people.
It could easily be argued, it seems to me, that if Foster did point his gun at the car, that could be an act of self-defense in defense of the people who could have been run over.
I don't think this case is as cut and dry as to hinge on whether or not Foster pointed his gun at the car, as if that determines whether it was okay to shoot him or not.
I don't think it's that simple, and I don't think, like, even if there were to be evidence that he had his rifle raised, it justifies shooting him once you've already reached that point.
You know, if I was holding a rifle and a car was barreling towards me through a bunch of other people right at me, I would probably throw the rifle away and apologize gracefully.
I don't know, and I think there will be some more information, and we'll see at that point.
From everything I can tell, it was absolutely wrong for Perry to shoot Foster, and it was further wrong for Perry to drive into a crowd of protesters.
When I say more information will come out, what I mean is I don't know how the law will see it, and how the investigation itself will shake out.
I can't make a prediction on that front.
Our show is about Alex and his coverage, though, so it should be pointed out that Daniel Perry is a white dude.
He's a 33-year-old white dude in the army.
So Alex's speculation was completely baseless, and actually, it's just the product of his editorial position that's based in racism and white identity.
It was more important for Alex to push the notion that there's a cover-up of minority-involved crime to his audience than it was to deal with the story on its merits and through the lens of reality.
It should be mentioned that Daniel Perry almost certainly only identified himself on Friday because certain protest communities online had figured out who he was, and they were posting his name.
It wasn't too hard to identify him, though, since he was in his car, which has license plates.
Perry tried to delete his social media, but people had already taken screenshots of things like him responding to a June 19th tweet that Trump had put out saying, quote, To that tweet, Perry replied, quote, Send them to Texas.
There's some other pretty strong indications that have been dug up that he harbored some violent inclinations toward protesters and support for Trump, which calls into question his intentions when driving into a march of protesters.
I'll wait until there's more concrete information on this to make a more complete determination, but from the information I can find, it's hard to not feel like this guy should be at least tried for murder.
The larger point here, and the one that I want to make, is that Alex tried to pretend that the shooter was secretly a non-white person, so the media was covering up his identity.
The shooter was a white army sergeant who seems to share some of the political beliefs that Alex espouses regularly.
And I have to say I'm shocked.
So we start here on the 31st, which is Friday.
And, man, you know how, like, I don't know, if you're a band and you have one hit...
About how this Saturday they're planning to take over the police station and burn it down.
They're actually trafficking this at meetings from the Democrats.
I mean, hell, the city councilors are going to blow it up, blow up the police station.
Hell, that's public.
And now they're going to have overwatch snipers all over on top of parking garages that they're planning to shoot police and citizens if anyone stops antifa.
I'm not kidding.
So you're going to have UT Tower shootings this weekend, I guess.
From coast to coast, from border to border, from sea to shining sea, the deep state globalist controlled Democrats are planning this weekend the takeover of at least six more city police departments.
Starting with an attack plan this Saturday night.
Now, us exposing this may have them back down.
Maybe you'll say, oh, fake news from Jones, but you've already seen the takeover police departments.
I have been shown by the APD, they have asked that we not actually show the documents themselves, because you can tell what unit and groups they are, but the police think you have a right to know about this.
They have overwatch already with Antifa in apartments, in high-rises, on balconies, but mainly in parking garages, like their Army Special Operations Command or something.
And they are going to have men in pickup trucks that are already out there practicing setting up checkpoints, shutting down roads, and ordering people to roll down their windows and pledge allegiance to Antifa, like this individual was doing a week ago who got shot and killed downtown.
So now Alex has learned who the shooter was in the Austin situation, and instead of being like, hey, sorry I speculated that it was a non-white person and there's a racist conspiracy to cover up.
So that'll be the new narrative is just like complete self-defense argument because he found out, oh, it's a white guy who's in the army and has right-wing beliefs.
And so this is the type of time you're going to see bigger false flag event type things happen.
But I can tell you right now, ladies and gentlemen, that Communist forces, that's what Antifa is, in the Soros-funded, Democrat-party-funded combine, are planning assaults on new police stations and federal buildings tonight all across the United States.
And when the Austin police bring photos and video of this to the mayor's office, they are told, you are to stand down.
And the rest of the press is being given this information.
Of course, they're not reporting it because they're little toadies, and, well, after all, the cops deserve to be shot in the back of the head, and the police station deserves to be blown up.
It's in the official city council budget to...
Bomb with a controlled demolition as a symbol of stopping police hate.
So, I mean, if they're publicly saying in the city council, blow up the police station, what do you think's going on?
So there's going to be a back-to-blue demonstration this Saturday.
I think Owen and Savannah Hernandez are going to be going.
I don't want to go and overshadow it because it's not my opinion.
This is the time for all good men and women to come to the end of their country.
And so wherever you are around the country, but if you're in Milwaukee, or you're in Austin, Texas, or you're in Phoenix, Arizona, or you are in Los Angeles, California, or you're in New York City, or you're in Miami.
So we'll get back to this, because this is a big narrative, and it took forever to figure out what he was talking about and what the reality of it is.
But for now, we have to jump off this, because on Friday it was also announced, That a lot of those Ghislaine Maxwell documents were going to be released.
And my big position on this that I want to really stress is that I don't respect Alex's coverage of the Epstein story.
And I refuse to dignify it with any actual discussion.
And they tried to rebrand it and say it was Trump because Trump had a private golf course that people came to, and he's been videotaped with Epstein, and he did know Ghislaine Maxwell and all the rest of it.
But I love the idea that he's now trying to build into the narrative that the reason that everyone hates Trump is because he was a confidential informant and was the original one to out Jeffrey Epstein.
So we went out and we hired a statistician to come up with the numbers, the stories on Infowars.com.
This is a Don Salazar story.
Scandemic CDC stat show flu deaths dropped as COVID deaths increased.
This is life-saving.
To get this information, to get it out to doctors, hospitals, you name it, we looked at a whole bunch of states and found what people were saying six months ago, five months ago was true.
They're counting all the flu deaths, you name it, in the same column.
So Rob News here, you hired the statistician to go over this.
If these graphs were presented honestly, they would show flu death distributions from past years, which would end up revealing that the trajectory of flu deaths in the 2019-2020 season is completely normal.
You would expect to see flu deaths peaking around week 10 to 12 of the year and then drop from there, which is what you see in Alex's graph.
Because that's the other really big problem is their axes.
If you just take these graphs visually, these lines might appear to match up really well.
But when you look at the scale differences, a big problem comes up.
Take, for instance, a chart from Arizona.
It appears to show that COVID deaths went up while flu deaths went down between weeks 12 and 16 of 2020.
And because of the scale of these lines, they appear to track almost identically.
However, the lines are being misrepresented.
In that time frame, the flu deaths went from about 120 to 15, whereas the COVID deaths rose to 9. I don't know what that rose to 9 from, because there's also a hole in the line on the graph of COVID deaths between week 11 and 13. There's just a hole.
That's another issue, but even leaving that aside, these numbers are so far off from being explanatory.
The lines in the graph have their scale manipulated to make it look like they fall one-to-one.
The rise is the same as the fall, but it's a statistical game.
This problem runs through all of their graphs, and based on the fact that they do this really dicey kind of game with data misrepresentation, and the fact that they don't mention that flu deaths are going down because flu season ended, and the fact that they don't include a graph of New York, which had the highest number of COVID-19 deaths during flu season, These all combine to create a lot of issues that Alex needs to address before any of this can be taken seriously.
Any statistician who would create something this shoddy is probably right to remain anonymous, since outing yourself as the person behind this makes it way too clear how willing you are to create bullshit graphs for money.
Much like I don't respect Alex's stuff about Epstein, I really don't respect a lot of the anti-vax stuff.
And mostly because a lot of the bigger things we've already hit on.
We've talked about a lot of those narratives.
Already in the past, and it's exhausting to go over it over and over again.
That said, there is one moment that I think is so illuminating for the wrong reasons in Del Bigtree's appearance.
He tells a story, and I really think it sends the wrong message, but I think it sends exactly the message of the feeling that I have about people like him.
In that story, Del thinks that he's telling a story about how he learned to stand up for his own voice, which is why he won't back down from censorship he feels he's facing for his anti-vax bullshit.
However, upon closer examination of that story, it doesn't make the point he thinks it does.
In the story, he has a shirt that he likes, which his friend tells him looks stupid.
In response to this influence from his peer, Del decides to change his shirt before going to school.
When his mother finds out about this, she takes him out of school and puts him in homeschool.
This is not a story about rising above bullies or the influence of your peers.
It's a story about running away from it so you never have to confront that countervailing force.
The good version of this story is an empathetic mother telling little Del that his shirt was cool and that his peers don't get to decide what he thinks is cool so he goes back to school the next day with that shirt on and you know what?
The head cheerleader ends up liking the shirt.
Something like that is how you tell the narrative.
Del received some influence from a peer, which he succumbed to.
When his mother found out, she overreacted to him changing his shirt and took him out of school, thereby isolating Del from having to regularly deal with the challenges of influences from his peers.
Instead of helping her child recognize that his opinions and tastes are valid, regardless of whether or not people agree with him, she unilaterally removes Del from the situation and puts him in an artificial and fully controlled environment where he won't have to make those tough choices anymore.
His mother basically created a bubble for him to live in where he wouldn't have to worry about people liking his shirt or not.
Instead of teaching him to validate his own feelings about the shirt, Even if not everyone agreed that it was a cool shirt.
On a certain level, this is actually a perfect analogy for what Del Bigtree has done as a career.
His anti-vax bullshit doesn't stand up to the scrutiny of actual science and the standards of mainstream reporting, so he's metaphorically put himself in homeschool.
Thanks to millions of dollars from anti-vax donors like Bernard Sells, Dell has created an insulated bubble where his ideas and narratives don't have to compete with the information.
Yeah.
It's like...
I love the idea that he's telling this story that he's completely...
It sends the exact wrong message, but something that is so salient to what he does now as an adult.
Granted, I have no idea what his life is like, but I didn't hear in that story him expressing that he was distraught about his friend not liking his shirt.
And I got a call from my wife's tennis partner this morning.
She was at Whole Foods in downtown Austin at 8 a.m. and couldn't go in because 150 Antifa were out there with clubs.
Guns in the parking lot.
They don't usually get up until noon.
So if there was 150 people this morning, the text came in at like 8.10.
I'm sitting there cooking omelets for the kids and pancakes.
Can you imagine?
What's going to be down there tonight?
Because they pledged.
I mean, they're publicly saying, we're going to take over the police station, we're going to go to the city councilwoman that didn't vote to defund the police, and we're going to attack her house.
Austin police warn Antifa BLM planning terror attacks and mass shootings downtown.
And we show you a public document by a major manager company, CNDC.
That manages a bunch of apartments downtown on the I-30 corridor.
They were told by police to warn the tenants that Antifa is taken to the roofs with guns in their buildings and listed their buildings as where they're going to be.
This is the Guadalupe Neighborhood Development Corporation, and Infowars has just posted a screenshot of what appears to be a letter from the GNDC to tenants asking them to report any suspicious activity because police had warned them that some, quote, people coming to Austin tomorrow may be armed and have plans to get on top of buildings along the I-35 frontage road.
This letter, if it's even real, says nothing about who these people are.
There's no mention of Antifa or anything else that Alex is adding to the story.
Well, there's only one group of people historically who have the training and the weaponry necessary to get on top of rooftops and scope out the area in order to provide sniper fire.
Interestingly, if you try to Google that name, there's no search results other than message boards from like a day ago, and all of them link back to the Infowars story.
If you go look at the Facebook page, it's pretty clear that this is not a left-wing militia.
At least one of the admins of this group has explicit Boogaloo iconography in his profile picture, and their banner image includes at least two of the people pictured wearing skull masks, which is a look that is regularly associated with Sure.
The Facebook group is private, but you can still tell certain things about it if you're not a member.
For one, it was created about a month ago, which is a little bit weird.
The page was created a month ago by a guy named Tom Will Breaker.
And his page is public.
It's really hard to determine how much of the stuff on there you should take seriously because it's a Facebook page, but if you look at the pictures he chooses to post, you get a sense of the guy.
He's a big fan of guns.
Tons of pictures of him with guns.
There's a weird picture that implies that racism started because white women are into black men because they have bigger dicks.
He doesn't have any posts prior to June 30th, but almost everything he's posted is Boogaloo related.
It goes on and on like this as you look at the members of the group's profiles.
This is not so much a left-wing Antifa group the way Alex is trying to present it, as much as it is a Boogaloo-related group, which may or may not have played I have no idea.
If that is the case, though, then it makes sense that the Austin Police Department could have warned the Guadalupe neighborhood group to be cautious.
This ultimately could be a situation where there is an underlying real story, namely that a subset of the accelerationist Boogaloo types were trying to use the current social climate to trigger some violence.
But...
Even that, Alex has failed to substantiate.
I'm not saying that that is the case.
I'm saying that is a possibility.
Even if that is the truth of the story, Alex is completely misrepresenting it to be some kind of an Antifa Black Lives Matter thing, as opposed to it being a group of gun absolutists who we'd absolutely love if only they were a little bit more universally racist.
So, Alex touches back on the story of the doctor who's super into hydroxychloroquine, who also believes that people are having sex with demons in their sleep and what have you.
Sounds fun.
Alex believes that she's being attacked because she's a Christian.
I just wanted to jump in to correct myself a tiny bit here.
After recording the episode, I went back and I watched the video of this from Alex's show, and this is not actually an instance of Steve Pachanik saying this twice, although it sounded a lot like it if you were listening to it.
I went and watched the video, and it is actually a weird editing thing that InfoWars screwed up.
I don't know how they did this.
I've never seen it before.
But they just played Steve saying this twice.
I have no idea why.
I apologize that that slipped past me.
Anyway, I was wrong.
I made an assumption that Steve was reading the same thing twice when in reality it was a never-before-seen, very weird thing where InfoWars played the same audio twice for no reason.
And the video's the same.
The video plays twice.
Just a tiny little...
I have no idea.
Anyway, can't explain it.
Anyway, back to the show.
I would probably even leave that aside for a moment if it weren't for the other slip-up that happens that I think he's being fed information.
Well, the problem is, believe it or not, unlike you and I or Tucker Carlson, he doesn't have the strength or the self-confidence to fire somebody in front of him.
He does it indirectly.
I've seen countless bosses like that, and they can never confront somebody directly.
I mean, you've heard various stories about people who have worked in the administration, like, you know, being fired indirectly, or Tommy hearing on TV.
So wait, are you telling me that his reality TV show persona was sold to us as his actual persona during the campaign, thus making these idiots think they were electing one person?
There will be no Biden coming in, and I will assure you, and I'm assuring the intelligence community, they know exactly what I'm saying and what I mean.
They know they're unnoticed, that a Biden will not come in irrespective of who his vice president will be.
But to be fair, when Bob Chapman came out and said that he'd seen a tape of Reagan getting pegged, It wasn't like they were trying to take down Reagan.
Half Filipino, never served our country, goes into the Lincoln Project, another idiot outpost, and makes statements where he says that Trump is not qualified, not competent.
You're talking about an ineffectual, narcissistic...
They go back into the street, they protest, and they say, we want change, and we want to get rid of our congressmen, our senators, and we need to have an effective...
Obviously, if a few globalists ended up having kayak accidents, and I'm not calling for this, because you'll get called into federal court, and so will I, because I know we're serious.
I'm not going to do anything myself, but I'm just saying, instead of letting them have revolution and burn the country down and sell us out of the Chi-Coms in the old days, George Washington would just go after a few of these guys.
Abraham Lincoln would.
It'd all be over.
I mean, like you said, Trump's too big a wimp, and I guess the Pentagon is all too...
I mean, just actually go after a few people.
If you took money from the Chinese, if you're a traitor...
Well, you know, they take a dirt nap.
If a few of these people got in trouble, all the rest would turn and run.
They're a bunch of wimps.
But we have to hang out here under attack.
We have to deal with all the physical threats, which I'm happy to do, and then no one else ever makes them pay, is what I'm saying.
So anyway, another time that Steve has slipped, much like bringing up that Steve Conway is half Filipino, is when he's complaining about that PBS documentary, the Frontline thing about Alex.
And because the reasons are forced, artificial, and made up, they can be forced, artificial, and made up about any arbitrary distinction that you want to make.
And because these moves towards exclusion are always to make up for something else, they're always an excuse for why the economy isn't as good as it could be.
They don't have that kind of power as much as we have an absence of leadership and power at the head of our country and at the head of the conservative movement.
The people who take the vaccine are going to be okay.
The people who refuse to take the vaccine are large enough in number that when they start dying, they're going to claim that we're killing them because we took the vaccine or that it wasn't real and that we're just killing them anyways.
And because they're going to continue spreading it, it's entirely possible that it could mutate and the fucking vaccine won't even do anything.
Or a secondary possibility is eventually there will be a vaccine that gets wide enough or, you know, comes and enough people take it that, you know, you end up with a certain amount of folks are just going to have negative reactions to any medication that anybody takes.
And the people like Alex who are anti-vax will use those instances of inevitable complications as proof that they were right all along.
So, Alex is reading whatever information is supposedly from police, and what this information tells is that Leroy Jenkins is one of the people who's one of the admins of this Facebook group, and some of the other names that he read off are also the admins of this Facebook group.
And because he's reading this out, it's very clear that whatever is supposed to have been told to him, which it's still Alex, so I have no idea if any of this information is even accurate.
But assuming that it is, then the police have just told him that there is this group, that this is this Facebook group that is Boogaloo adjacent or inspired, and they have some...
And because Alex knows enough to know that that word means something, he has to say that it's a fake cutout group.
We have one last clip here, and this is, you know, just while we're talking about how hard it is to do his job, please consider that this is August 1st.
So, you know, we come to the end of this, and I think that this was an extremist pageant that I'm glad didn't accidentally end up in any violence, to the best of my knowledge, at this point.
Who knows?
But yeah, I mean, he's playing with fire.
The way that he did this whole broadcast about how tonight and tomorrow Antifa's planning to blow up these police stations all around the country, all this, that's...
That's really risking the possibility of someone hurting somebody based on that reporting.
And then when you get a little bit further into it and you see the sources that he's relying on and you see, well, what this appears to be about is not all around the country.
It appears to be one Facebook group that is run by some Boogaloo folk who may or may not have been planning...
And when you have that at the end there when he's talking about killing people would be so much easier than doing this talk show and you would just keep pushing us and keep pushing us and you're gonna make us do this.
When you start to realize that you keep pushing us is fake stories that he's coming up with and telling his audience.
I mean, it's hard not to say that he is, I mean, after, you know, he's covering for the Boogaloo movement, and he's actively encouraging his own audience to essentially start the Boogaloo movement on their own.
So, I think we know what kind of movement he likes.
And honestly, I probably would have done this episode, I would have rather spent like two hours talking about that story that Del Bigtree told, because that to me is one of the most revealing things.
