Today, Dan and Jordan experience how the past week ended on The Alex Jones Show. In this installment, Dan needed closure on the "ShadowGate/Millie Weaver gets fired" situation, which Alex sort of provides. Also, a couple of Alex's friends gloat about Steve Bannon's arrest.

| Oh, indeed we are, Dan. | ||

|
Quick question for you. | |
| What up? | ||
| What's your bright spot today? | ||
| My bright spot today is so bright that I required a text. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I texted you about this. | ||
| You did? | ||
| I texted some other folks about this, too. | ||
| It was so bright. | ||
| I was doing laundry, and I was walking down to my laundry room, and I heard the telltale chirp, chirper, chirp of birds. | ||
| And I looked around, and what did I see? | ||
| On top of a light fixture, laundry rooms are in basements, so you're subterranean, and there's a light fixture up there, and there's a bird's nest, and some baby birds. | ||
| Cute little baby birds. | ||
| Yeah, it was really nice. | ||
| It was a really nice way to start my day, and I'll tell you this. | ||
| I love the personified things you can see in animals. | ||
| I know that it's anthropomorphizing a little bit more than it should be. | ||
| These birds were making a racket until I looked at them. | ||
| And then they were looking at me like, wait, I didn't say anything. | ||
| I didn't say anything. | ||
| They were looking at me like, hey, come on now. | ||
| Like, complete silence as soon as they had any kind of attention. | ||
| Oh, you talk a big game, don't you, birds? | ||
| Yeah, there was sort of a, like, trying to look at it from human motivations. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| It was pretty fun, and, you know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| There's a small part of me that wanted to snuggle those birds. | ||
| Of course, of course. | ||
| I am appreciating your turn to Grizzly Adams. | ||
| Yeah, I wanted to raise them as my own children. | ||
| Live in your nice little beard. | ||
| But I recognize that any interference could hurt the birds. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I don't know how to take care of a bird. | ||
| True. | ||
| You have a cat. | ||
| Yeah, it's parent. | ||
| Those are issues. | ||
| It's parent bird knows what it's doing. | ||
| You know, you never know about parents. | ||
| I'm going to check up on them the next time I do laundry, but for now. | ||
| It was just a bright... | ||
| I mean, they were looking good. | ||
| Yeah, they did. | ||
| They looked healthy. | ||
| You sent me a picture. | ||
| They look great. | ||
| Shout out, birds. | ||
| Hey, birds. | ||
| You keep on doing what you're doing. | ||
| How about you? | ||
| My bright spot, Dan, is the return of the only other sport I care about, tennis. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The third sport, all three of them are irresponsibly restarted. | ||
| I disagree with that decision entirely, and I'm watching the hell out of it. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| Shapovalov is incredible. | ||
| Love him. | ||
| Tennis is great. | ||
| Better than Rafa? | ||
| Rafa's not going to play. | ||
| Do you know why? | ||
| Because he made the smart decision not to fly to America for any reason. | ||
| Good on him. | ||
| It's disappointing. | ||
| He's not going to defend his U.S. Open title, Dan, but there's always the French. | ||
| He's going to be there for the French Open. | ||
| He's going to win. | ||
| It's going to be crazy. | ||
| Well, one thing you can take solace in is that no matter how irresponsible any of these sports are, they're probably more responsible than pro wrestling. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| It just didn't stop. | ||
| Have you been watching The Weeknd? | ||
| I watched NXT's 30, NXT XXX, on Saturday. | ||
| I watched a bit of it. | ||
| I actually turned it off in the middle. | ||
| Not because it was bad or anything, but I just didn't give a shit. | ||
| You thought you were watching Triple X State of the Union. | ||
| I thought I was watching that Vin Diesel movie. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| I did the sequel. | ||
| No, the Ice Cube one? | ||
| No, I was not watching that. | ||
| I would know. | ||
| No, I just... | ||
| I don't know what it was. | ||
| I just didn't care. | ||
| You just didn't have it in you. | ||
| This one just flew over you. | ||
| I might be done with wrestling. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I had no patience for it. | ||
| It didn't grab me. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| I intend to watch SummerSlam on a delay. | ||
| Because we're recording this on Sunday. | ||
| Actually, while SummerSlam is going on. | ||
| So I'll probably watch it this evening after I edit the episode to unwind. | ||
| I'll probably be bored as shit. | ||
| I assume. | ||
| I don't want to get into it. | ||
| This is really bumming you out. | ||
| It is a little bit. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I wish I hadn't brought it up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Let's brighten things up by discussing how today we have an interesting episode to go over. | ||
| We're going to be talking about August 20th and 21st, 2020. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| This is 2020. | ||
| A lot of 20s there. | ||
| There were quite a few 20s. | ||
| That was a tongue twister. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's an interesting time. | ||
| I didn't feel done with the Alex Jones Millie Weaver Shadowgate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| But I wanted to be done with it. | ||
| Well, no one's won the 10,000 yet, right? | ||
| No. | ||
| I think it's not real. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I needed a sense of closure to it, because Alex wasn't addressing it on his show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course not. | |
| At all. | ||
| We were seeing this, like, Millie talking some shit. | ||
| But, like, at the point that we got to on Wednesday of last week, there wasn't really, like, he had told Millie behind the scenes, clearly based on her Twitter. | ||
| That shit was done. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But we didn't have any forward-facing presentation of it, and so I wanted to keep digging around a little bit, see if we could figure that out. | ||
| This is Thursday and Friday of last week, and we will close out the week on Alex's show and see if he brings up... | ||
| Whether or not Rainbow Snatch is persona non grata. | ||
| You want closure for this breakup, essentially. | ||
| More or less, yeah. | ||
| I have feelings. | ||
| Yeah, it's unrequited, but those are still feelings. | ||
| I mean, look, obviously not as intensely as anybody else involved. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| I'm involved in this. | ||
| I've been along for the ride. | ||
| I've been making fun of you people for a long time. | ||
| I need to... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Of course. | ||
| This is Degrassi for you all over again. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You can't write Paige off the show without me processing that. | ||
| So we'll get down to business on that, Jordan. | ||
| But before we do, we've got to take a moment to say thank you to some folks who have signed up and are supporting the show. | ||
|

|
Thank you. | |
| And finally, like I said, thank you to a couple people who donated on an elevated level, and we appreciate that very much. | ||
| So, Industrial Robot, thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a technocrat. | ||
| And Diddling Quarka, thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a technocrat. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Crikey, mate, that's fantastic. | ||
| Have yourself a brew. | ||
| How's your 401k doing, bro? | ||
| We gotta go full tilt boogie on this, Watson, alright? | ||
| Let's just get down to business. | ||
| We ain't making that money off that heroin. | ||
| Why are you pimps so good? | ||
| My neck is freakishly large. | ||
| I declare Infowar on you. | ||
| Thank you so much, Industrial Robot. | ||
| And thank you so much, Diddling Kwaka. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, thank you very much. | |
| Kwaka? | ||
| Kwaka? | ||
| How do you pronounce that? | ||
| Honestly, right now... | ||
| It's like the wallaby. | ||
| It's that cute little animal. | ||
| I want to say it's Kwaka. | ||
| Kwaka, I think is... | ||
| I want to say it's Kwaka. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kwaka? | |
| But I'm probably wrong. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| That's one of those words that's always giving me trouble. | ||
| Is it a marsupial? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| I mean, it's a wallaby. | ||
| Okay, well then yeah, it would have to be. | ||
| There are a couple things. | ||
| Wait, it's a wallaby? | ||
| Then why is it called a coaca? | ||
| Because it's a special kind of wallaby. | ||
| You can't have special kinds of wallaby. | ||
| It's adorable. | ||
| They're very, very cute. | ||
| There's a number of animals that I look at the names and I'm like, I know what that is. | ||
| I'm not saying it. | ||
| I don't know how to say it. | ||
| I've only ever read this word, and I'm not going to bother. | ||
| I'm going to sound like an idiot. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| No, I get it. | ||
| So, thank you very much. | ||
| If you're out there listening and 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. | ||
| We would appreciate it. | ||
| Or, you could take that generosity... | ||
| Oh, you're coming out the gate hot with this one. | ||
| It might be... | ||
| Are you fizzling? | ||
| It might be all artificial confidence. | ||
| It's just momentum. | ||
| I'm loving it. | ||
| Keep it going. | ||
| Okay, you can take that generosity and put it in a bowl with some Cheerios, have some breakfast, and then go donate some money to a charity. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| You made it through, and that's what's important. | ||
| All false confidence. | ||
| So, Jordan, before we get to the episode proper, I'd like to take a moment to look into the mailbag. | ||
| Ooh, exciting. | ||
| This is a little something that is from Purple Penguin Matt. | ||
| Dan and Jordan, I love your work. | ||
| Thank you for bringing Leo Lion Zagami into my life. | ||
| Jordan, look at this. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| Look at this piece of art. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| For those of you, this is obviously an audio medium, but this is a painting. | ||
| Of Leo Zagami in Pope attire. | ||
| Yes, but with the Illuminati headdress bishop hat, if you will. | ||
| And his famous quote about how he proved to the Vatican that he is Jesus. | ||
| I had to bring this proofs to the Vatican. | ||
| I'm not going to do an Italian accent. | ||
| Please don't. | ||
| That would be offensive. | ||
| And the Vatican has finally accepted that I am that Messiah because I showed them the codes that were hidden inside the Vatican that only the real Jesus would have. | ||
| Don't ever forget that. | ||
| Don't betray me. | ||
| Best. | ||
| I love this painting so much, Matt. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| That goes up on the wall. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, okay. | |
| It already has some... | ||
| Yes, I see it. | ||
| But I'll take care of that later. | ||
| That is on the wall for sure. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| That's a centerpiece. | ||
| This is not going to be a Batman situation. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| This painting will be hung on the wall. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yes. | |
| This is not a Rappaport thing. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| Just the best. | ||
| I love the idea, too, that maybe most of the fan art will be Leo Zagami related. | ||
| And then I just end up with a studio that's decorated. | ||
| I do like that your podcast about Alex Jones will be decorated entirely with Leo Zagami stuff. | ||
| If anyone can find, like, I mean, this is literally an impossibility, but if anyone could find a flyer for, like, his... | ||
| 80s raves in Rome. | ||
| I will pay top dollar. | ||
| If you can break into his apartment and find one that's framed, I will pay even more than that. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| What? | ||
| Wait. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Huh? | |
| Are you supporting that? | ||
| No, I'm not. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And, quite frankly, I think... | ||
| You're a dick! | ||
| I gotta get that away from you. | ||
| Do not encourage criminal behavior. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I gotta get it away. | |
| So, Jordan, here is not a context drop from today's show. | ||
| Cherry pie don't come out that ass. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alright. | |
| Fair enough. | ||
| You know, I've never thought about it that way. | ||
| You know, I've never thought about it. | ||
| Well, when you do, you realize. | ||
| I realize, of course. | ||
| So, one of the reasons that I wanted to keep going covering this, one, it was obviously the lack of closure vis-a-vis Millie. | ||
| The second reason was there was a lot of nonsense happening. | ||
| First of all, right before the 20th, the night before. | ||
| We had the reporter ask Trump about QAnon, and that was weird. | ||
| Never heard about it. | ||
| Love those people, though. | ||
| They're great. | ||
| They love me. | ||
| I've never heard about their nonsense. | ||
| I'm just stoking it quietly and slowly. | ||
| And, of course, Steve Bannon was arrested. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And so I felt like there was a lot of potential for takes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And one of the things I found really interesting was how the 20th started. | ||
| Alex started the show. | ||
| No, it was not the Andy Griffith. | ||
| Sorry, sorry. | ||
| He is not fancy free. | ||
| The show starts with Alex playing the clip of the reporter talking, you know, asking Trump about QAnon. | ||
| But if you pay close attention, there's one thing that's missing from this clip. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is this belief that you are secretly saving the world from this satanic cult of pedophiles and cannibals. | |
| Does that sound like something you are behind? | ||
| Well, I haven't heard that, but is that supposed to be a bad thing or a good thing? | ||
| If I can help save the world from problems, I'm willing to do it. | ||
| I'm willing to put myself out there. | ||
| And we are, actually. | ||
| We're saving the world from a radical left philosophy that will destroy this country. | ||
| And when this country is gone, the rest of the world would follow. | ||
| Every time that Alex plays this clip, which he will a number of times, it conveniently cuts off the beginning where she's asking about QAnon. | ||
| Oh, why? | ||
| Why would they cut that out? | ||
| Because Alex desperately wants, like, he can't... | ||
| Shit on this because he also says that Trump is fighting a cabal of cannibalistic pedophile network folks. | ||
| So he can't shit on that, but he has a stated position that QAnon's a bunch of assholes, and he doesn't like it. | ||
| So he has to take the optics of this and just remove the part where the question's about QAnon. | ||
| If you can't shit on it, pretend it's not there. | ||
| I think that makes... | ||
| Perfect sense from his standpoint. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it's a nice little sleight of hand. | ||
| Pretend that the question wasn't about you and I. Get out of here. | ||
| And just be like, yeah, it is great that Trump is fighting demons. | ||
| Honestly, I've never met Millie Weaver in my life. | ||
| Well, interestingly, Alex does start the show mentioning the troubles. | ||
| And I thought that he was going to get into it because he says he's not going to get into it. | ||
| Naturally. | ||
| They always say. | ||
| Jones put out the discredited Pizzagate theory. | ||
| None of it was true. | ||
| The only pedophilia supposedly in the world was at a pizza place. | ||
| I never said that. | ||
| The media made it the issue. | ||
| They set everybody up to cover something because it wasn't happening there to divert from all the places it was happening. | ||
| And the media said, Jones admit it wasn't happening there. | ||
| And I said, yeah, you're the ones that first said it, but yeah, it's happening right over here, not there. | ||
| And they turned that into their defense of it. | ||
| But everyone sees. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Through it. | ||
| But the influences of it are absolutely massive, and its tentacles reach into every level. | ||
| You know, I've recently had to disassociate myself from certain people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ooh! | |
| It's with a very heavy heart that I'm going to have to expose the situation. | ||
| I'm not going to do it today. | ||
| I've got too much going on. | ||
| But this whole evil is right under the surface, and it's coming out onto the... | ||
| Open ground now, and we're going to have to deal with it. | ||
| So, he's had to dissociate from Millie. | ||
| It has something to do with QAnon and Pizzagate stuff. | ||
| And, yeah. | ||
| Whenever he says, I can't get into it today, or I'm not going to get into it, that, to me, is usually an indication. | ||
| He's about to get into it. | ||
| Yeah, of course. | ||
| But he doesn't. | ||
| He doesn't. | ||
| He sticks to that. | ||
| He's too busy. | ||
| That kind of disappointed me a little bit, because it obviously is a central point of my curiosity. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| And then also, again, the other one is Bannon. | ||
| I was interested to see what was going to happen there, and he's coming out the gate, touching on these topics that I want to hear about, and his take on Bannon is pretty interesting. | ||
| Obviously, Stephen Bannon was arrested. | ||
| Southern District of New York, they're the ones trying to get all the Trump supporters. | ||
| I don't like Stephen Bannon. | ||
| He's done some nasty stuff. | ||
| He bare false witness against Roger Stone. | ||
| Sure he did. | ||
| But now you see him with a private border wall that raised tens of millions of dollars. | ||
| And then they kept a hunk of $100,000 apiece for their expenses and things. | ||
| Since when can you not start something like that? | ||
| I mean, look at the left. | ||
| They have millions of the Clinton Foundation for treason. | ||
| This is an interesting take. | ||
| What? | ||
| What? | ||
| I can't embezzle now? | ||
| I just can't embezzle. | ||
| I appreciate that on some level, that Alex's position on it is, you know what, seriously, fuck Ben, and I don't like that guy, but scams are cool. | ||
| It does seem like we have hit the real core. | ||
| You're gonna stop people from scamming? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Come on now. | ||
| And then, of course, the old standard, the fail-safe at the end there, is the, everyone else scams! | ||
| Yeah, exactly! | ||
| Alright, not a defense, but whatever. | ||
| It reminds me of the Paul F. Tompkins joke where he's talking about working there, working at a video store, and one of his co-workers is like, well, of course they expect you to steal, that's why they pay you so little. | ||
| And you're like, no! | ||
| Stealing is wrong! | ||
| All the time! | ||
| Well, apparently not. | ||
| Fair. | ||
| So, this is an interesting take that Alex has, but the take evolves a little bit. | ||
| And now, as Alex talks about it a little bit more, He starts to think that maybe there's something up with this Bannon arrest. | ||
| Steve Bannon arrested this morning right after Obama's speech, right before Biden's speech, to discredit the wall, to make it look like Trump did something bad. | ||
| The same company got some of the contracts to build the wall. | ||
| This is to embroil Trump in a new wall scandal. | ||
| Bannon is so slippery and so nasty, from what I've seen, That he might be in on this, meeting with Epstein before he died, meeting with the Clintons and others reportedly, that they could have put him into the indictment so that he can now try to implicate Trump or something, which is totally asinine. | ||
| That is asinine. | ||
| That would be very asinine. | ||
| Yep, so apparently Alex is floating, soft-pitching the theory that Steve Bannon's in on this. | ||
| This is a false flag. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| This is a false flag fraud. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| He committed fraud. | ||
| Well. | ||
| Got away with it for a long time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
| Waited until they caught him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then he's like, is he thinking like, what took you guys so long? | |
| Like, what are we doing here? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| He was in on it from the jump in order to get this arrest eventually. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| This line of thinking doesn't continue, but I do appreciate it because it's, you know, it's kind of like someone just swinging wildly. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's that old... | ||
| It's like when you put your head down and you just wave your arms around and watch it. | ||
| It's the windmill! | ||
| That old fighting spirit. | ||
| Good to see it. | ||
| That old college spirit in Alex. | ||
| Very sad, impotent, and goes nowhere, but I'd still like to see it. | ||
| So, in this next clip, we find out that Alex has reached a certain point in his fear of... | ||
| The future. | ||
| You know, obviously, he's talked about how he's preparing his bunker in maybe somewhere outside Austin or something. | ||
| It's a bunker. | ||
| He's certainly done a lot of these infomercials with his food people, his doomsday food people. | ||
| We've reached a new pinnacle. | ||
| Like used to, I'd go into the doctor to get checked or something. | ||
| They'd say, here's some antibiotics. | ||
| Or I'd get a tooth pulled. | ||
| Here's some antibiotics. | ||
| And say, I don't need it. | ||
| And I wouldn't get the prescription. | ||
| Now, I go get the prescription and I go put it in the medicine cabinet to keep it. | ||
| I mean, I'm doing little things like that, folks. | ||
| Because antibiotics and things are going to be absolutely valuable. | ||
| So, because I don't ever need an antibiotic for crack tooth or sore throat or whatever, but I'll still go get it checked out in case it's something bad. | ||
| And I get it in case I need it. | ||
| And I've got like seven bottles of antibiotics in the last couple of years. | ||
| I'm sure their expiration date will be out in a while, but they're still good for a while. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Alex is hoarding antibiotics. | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| Let's hoard antibiotics. | ||
| I don't know what to do with that. | ||
| I don't either. | ||
| Will Smith used him in I Am Legend. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That was smart. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| That movie was very, very real. | ||
| It was a documentary. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I don't know. | ||
| It's based on Vincent Price's life. | ||
| I feel like you could probably end up causing more harm than good. | ||
| I mean, especially if you have expired antibiotics, or if you don't have enough for a full cycle, you could end up giving yourself a drug-resistant form of something. | ||
| You could end up, like, outside of doctor's supervision, taking medications is usually something they don't advise. | ||
| And antibiotics is one of them! | ||
| As far as his backup plan for when the operation with his supplements goes down, Hawking expired antibiotics in the apocalypse. | ||
| He did say they're going to be very valuable. | ||
| That does sound like him! | ||
| I gotta give him that! | ||
| He's preparing to hawk even more bullshit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got Zithromycin's two years past overdue, but where are you going to get better? | |
| What are you going to do? | ||
| Antibiotics expire. | ||
| They're just lying to you about that. | ||
| Why wouldn't you say that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Alex is really trying to cover this QAnon question that was posed to Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| But without really having to own the fact that it was about QAnon. | ||
| Trump asked if he supports conspiracy theory. | ||
| Conspiracy theory that he's saving the world from satanic pedophiles. | ||
| There are a lot of satanists. | ||
| There are a lot of pedophiles. | ||
| Trump's fighting them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But the question was about QAnon. | |
| I don't know what you're talking about. | ||
| Alex doesn't completely deny that the question... | ||
| He does mention at one point that the question is about QAnon, but then tries to cover everything surrounding it much longer in the show outside of that context, which is strange to me. | ||
| Yeah, he's almost trying to discredit the conspiracy theory with... | ||
| Conspiracy theory. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| About how there isn't a conspiracy theory, but there is a conspiracy. | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Alex plays this clip from MSNBC about the Trump-liking QAnon. | ||
| Right. | ||
| There's a discussion of Trump-liking QAnon. | ||
| And this is interesting. | ||
| One of my favorite things about this show, Alex's show... | ||
| Is the various ways in which tech goes wrong. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's a lot that we've seen. | ||
| There have been phone call problems, Skype problems. | ||
| Nobody just says hello. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Certainly there have been times when people can't find things that Alex needs. | ||
| This is a new one. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And it's the kind of tech issue that I never thought you'd run into. | ||
| This is from MSNBC. | ||
| Donald Trump is far more well-suited. | ||
| We had InfoWars host, then POTUS. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| Elise, it is an understatement to say Trump's on the low road. | ||
| Trump is like subterranean, way down under where all the pipes are laid underground. | ||
| And to that point, he's wrapping himself around... | ||
| How do you say it? | ||
| QAnon? | ||
| QAnon loons? | ||
| And he has congratulated a right-wing candidate. | ||
| I mean, he is so committed now to the dark underbelly, the fringiest aspects, that I don't see how they think there are enough of those people that they're willing to roll the dice and repel the kinds of independents. | ||
| Back it up five minutes or five seconds. | ||
| Look at this information. | ||
| It's just crazy. | ||
| You can see in that lady's bookstore there that they're on her. | ||
| It's a little distracting with the music playing in the background, guys. | ||
| Rolling Stones. | ||
| Alright, whatever. | ||
| Let's just start the whole clip over. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| That was not going out to break. | ||
| That was just middle of the segment music coming in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Somebody there is working for us. | |
| That's the only thing that makes sense. | ||
| Who would just start playing music? | ||
| That was on purpose. | ||
| No, I think it was like a switch glitch or something like that. | ||
| Because it started right after the clip. | ||
| So you probably went to a different channel or something like that with the audio feed. | ||
| And it accidentally was on a radio station or something. | ||
| Like what people are listening to instead of listening to Alex. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| I just... | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| It's remarkable just the new ways that you find to fuck up your professionalism and your presentation. | ||
| I just love it. | ||
| I'm waiting. | ||
| Somebody has to throw a pie in his face. | ||
| That's what needs to happen. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's what the closure I need. | ||
| Preferably while he's doing another publicity stunt with llamas in the studio. | ||
| And it should be Millie Weaver. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| With a chip implanted inside of her. | ||
| Payback. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| So in this next clip, Alex is just disgustingly Islamophobic. | ||
| The left doesn't leave California and come to your state and stop it. | ||
| They come and they bring California. | ||
| And Islam doesn't leave Islam. | ||
| And then come here and want to be us. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| On average, they're disgusted with who we are. | ||
| And, I mean, I'm disgusted with who we are, but I don't want to blow people up. | ||
| Yes, you do. | ||
| And they do not embrace us. | ||
| So, I mean, that's nothing new, and it doesn't really add a whole lot to our understanding of Alex, but I played the clip, and I cut that intentionally, just as a reminder. | ||
| When he's talking about these things, he says, on average, he's talking about normal people. | ||
| He's not having a conversation that's specifically about people with extreme ideologies of whatever orientation or faith they might be in. | ||
| He's talking about three girls in a pool store. | ||
| Yeah, he's talking about just all, like, on average Muslims, they hate us. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's like, hey man, stop trying to pretend that that's not what you're saying. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Stop trying to pretend that you're having a different conversation than... | ||
| You just generally hate other groups of people. | ||
| Yeah, the idea that no matter what, no one has any interest in assimilating into American culture at large and only want to impose their culture upon other people. | ||
| And they're disgusted so they want to blow you up. | ||
| Yeah, which is bananas because he totally wants to blow people up and force his ideas upon everyone else. | ||
| Speaking of people who blow things up, particularly... | ||
| Foreign governments, if you believe, Alex. | ||
| Steve Pachenik is going to be on today. | ||
| I'm excited! | ||
| My boy! | ||
| What's he got? | ||
| Steve's on because he has some thoughts about Bannon. | ||
| Of course he does! | ||
| He hates Bannon, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| I was about to call a producer, Daria, and say get Steve Pachenik on, and here comes the message. | ||
| Hey, Steve Pachenik wants to come on. | ||
| He's got a lot of inside baseball on Steve Bannon. | ||
| I don't know his take yet, but I'm going to give you mine. | ||
| We'll see how they match up. | ||
| It's kind of a fun game. | ||
| It is. | ||
| I don't like Steve Bannon. | ||
| Steve Bannon brought in a bunch of the deep state globalists. | ||
| He basically is a Hollywood screenwriter, and he took a lot of the populist movement that was already out there that this audience supported and kind of cobbled together as an operating system. | ||
| Trump resonated with it, along with Stephen Miller, who I think is a good guy, and Trump really believes it, so he picked it up. | ||
| But then Bannon lied in the Senate committee. | ||
| Intelligence Committee and said that, well, Stone had no connections to WikiLeaks. | ||
| Well, that was the truth. | ||
| But then he went and lied with perjury to the show trial in D.C. against Roger Stone with Judge Amy Berman Jackson and said that he was the main conduit. | ||
| Well, I was there. | ||
| There was no conduit. | ||
| So that's one of Alex's big, his argument about Bannon. | ||
| He just keeps insisting that he bore a false witness in Roger's trial. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| And that's because he believes that Bannon told the Senate Intelligence Committee that Roger had no connection to Wiggy Leaks. | ||
| But then, at the trial, he claimed the opposite in order to jam Roger up. | ||
| Yes, it was a surprise. | ||
| Unfortunately, the Senate Intelligence Committee's report was released last week, and if you consult page 241, you'll find this. | ||
| Quote, Bannon recalled discussing WikiLeaks and Assange with Stone both before and after taking over as the chief executive officer of the Trump campaign on August 13, 2016. | ||
| Bannon recalled that prior to joining the campaign, Stone told him that he had a connection to Assange and implied that he had inside information about WikiLeaks. | ||
| After Bannon assumed the role of campaign CEO, Stone repeated to him that he had a relationship with Assange and said that WikiLeaks was going to dump additional materials That would be bad for the Trump campaign. | ||
| That sure sounds like a crime. | ||
| Alex's premise is false, that Bannon testified something contradictory at Rogers' trial compared to what he said in his Senate testimony. | ||
| He's just banking on his audience not taking the time to learn what the Senate report says, which is a safe bet. | ||
| Yeah, it's a thousand pages long. | ||
| It's very long. | ||
| It's very long. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So, Steve Pachanek comes on. | ||
| Whenever I say Steve, I'm going to be talking about Pachanek. | ||
| When I say Bannon, I'm going to talk about Steve Bannon. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| For the sake of clarity. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So, Steve comes in, and man, I love this guy when he swings. | ||
| He swings for the goddamn fences. | ||
| You know, lately, without Steve Buchanek, there isn't anybody who's really going for it, you know? | ||
| Well, I find that I hate all of these people, and I think they're all monsters, and they all have nefarious agendas. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| Which should just be taken as read. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think that there's two classes of criminal here. | ||
| And there's people who are just really embarrassing scams. | ||
| And I think we'll see another one later, and that's Deanna Lorraine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| She comes up later, and it's like, this is an embarrassing fraud. | ||
| Who gives a shit? | ||
| Millie Weaver's terrible. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Owen Schroyer's terrible. | ||
| Garbage. | ||
| So many of these people that Alex has on as guests are just dismissible weak. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Steve is another class of criminal. | ||
| He's got his own thing. | ||
| I think part of it comes down to brazenness. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Steve doesn't give a shit. | ||
| Not a fucking shit. | ||
| He does not care. | ||
| No. | ||
| Go home and tell your mother you're brilliant. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| That's the fucking... | ||
| That is Steve. | ||
| Just like, oh, you don't like it? | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| From the perspective of someone who has to listen to these ding-dongs talk all the time, I at least get some sort of an entertainment value out of Steve. | ||
| And particularly when he comes in, and this is his complaint about Bannon. | ||
| What is your take on this? | ||
| It's very simple. | ||
| I was on your show a couple of months ago, and I said that Steve Bannon was a complete sociopath, and eventually he would trap himself in his lies and his collusions with his colleagues. | ||
| I am for the indictment, conviction, and prison for Steve Bannon. | ||
| The reason is very simple. | ||
| Bannon is what we call a self-promoter. | ||
| A nicer term or a different term would be a BS artist. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Oh, really, Steve? | ||
| So that's why he should be in prison. | ||
| Right, because he's a BS artist. | ||
| He's a BS artist. | ||
| Family show. | ||
| He's a BS artist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Coming from the guy who solved every geopolitical problem that has ever happened. | |
| Coming from the guy who cured corruption. | ||
| Coronavirus! | ||
| Yeah, certainly was patient zero. | ||
| Yeah, I think... | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's a BS artist, Dad. | |
| That's... | ||
| There's something so universal about that mentality of, like, whatever they're accusing us of, we're doing. | ||
| You know, that kind of thing. | ||
| And I think that everybody has it to a little degree in this Infowars world. | ||
| But... | ||
| Steve fucking relishes it. | ||
| He wallows in it. | ||
| He's the biggest self-promoter in the world. | ||
| He allows Alex to say that he's who Tom Clancy based Jack Ryan on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| He loves it. | ||
| He's a gigantic BS artist. | ||
| It's just delicious. | ||
| That projection is amazing. | ||
| He's covered in someone's blood that he just murdered and he's like... | ||
| I don't like Steve Bannon. | ||
| He murders too many people. | ||
| That's what we're doing right here. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| From an entertainment standpoint, Steve still sucks. | ||
| He's the worst. | ||
| He should be imprisoned for being a BS artist, Dan. | ||
| Well, by his logic. | ||
| By his logic! | ||
| So, Steve, months ago, had told Alex that Bannon was going down. | ||
| Yeah, well, I mean, that was a safe bet. | ||
| Now, mic down for this, because I want you to follow how excited Alex gets when he thinks that this was based on inside information, and how disappointing it is when he's like, nah, I was just talking shit. | ||
| Now, remember, months ago, I had told you Bannon was going to be arrested. | ||
| And a year ago, I told you... | ||
| By the way, you did say that. | ||
| I should have started the broadcast. | ||
| I remember you. | ||
| I mean, have you gotten rumblings of this, or you said Bannon's going to pay? | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| I had no rumblings. | ||
| One of the things that you and I do intuitively is it's obvious when a man like Bannon gets up ahead of himself. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So that was great because Alex is like, oh, you got some inside information? | ||
| You got some rumblings? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Out of nowhere. | ||
| Just talking shit. | ||
| Just made it up off the top of my head. | ||
| He seemed in over his head. | ||
| I didn't like him. | ||
| I don't like him. | ||
| So I just assumed he was going to go to jail. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So, I'm going to play this next clip, and it's Steve sort of rambling a little bit about Obama, and one of the only reasons I'm playing this is just as a way to point out that Alex is back pretty deeply in the calling Michelle Mike and doing all that stuff. | ||
| It's pretty disgusting. | ||
| None of them have ever put in a president. | ||
| Obama was a freak of the CIA. | ||
| Black. | ||
| Lying, homosexual, complete farce, who then calls our president a farce and then, you know, delivers Michelle Obama, a total nobody, who was already threatening Harvard and Princeton. | ||
| What do you think of Big Mike? | ||
| That's her nickname now. | ||
| What do you think of Big Mike? | ||
| I think she is exactly what she is. | ||
| She's a asexual individual. | ||
| I've got to be careful. | ||
| Hold on, Steve. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hold on, no, no. | |
| We're going to come back with her threat to America, that things are going to get really bad if we reelect This is just such a stupid game, but Alex is getting deep into it again, and we've seen this cycle play out over and over again, and it's really not worth getting riled up about, because as ugly and based in bigotry as it all is, he's just trolling. | ||
| He's really just trying to get a reaction out of people. | ||
| Because we've seen this happen in cycles before, where he gets into this Michelle's a man thing, and then whenever there's too much heat about it, he'll be like, we were just joking, you know, obviously this isn't something that we're serious about, but while he's doing it, he'll play it very seriously, like, I absolutely mean this. | ||
| This is attention-seeking behavior. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| I would leave it alone entirely, except for it's becoming pretty frequent on his show. | ||
| And so I just want to say... | ||
| He's trying to wink and get away with it. | ||
| He's doing this again. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's very dumb. | ||
| So Alex, another one of his big narratives lately has been this idea that what's going to happen is that the election's going to happen, and then Trump's going to win, but then Pelosi and the left and the Democrats, they're going to say that Biden won, and they're going to secede. | ||
| All the blue states are going to secede. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I'm 100% fine with that at this point. | ||
| Alex pitches this to Steve, and Steve's response is pretty interesting. | ||
| Every one of the pundits, from Van Jones to Senator Schumer to Hillary, they all come out to Eric Holder and regurgitate this and say, we're normalizing it, we're going to secede and take the country with them, and we're back. | ||
| to the early 1860s, Dr. Pachanek. | ||
| So this is serious. | ||
| If they even attempt this, it could really hurt the stock market, hurt the country, break it up. | ||
| I mean, we can't just let them criminally... | ||
| claim that they're going to take states that Democrats win and break away from the nation. | ||
| Let me say the following. | ||
| Number one, that's never going to happen. | ||
| No shit. | ||
| Let me say the following. | ||
| Shut up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alex, let me start off by saying that your premise is ridiculous. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Let's begin with you're a big dum-dum. | ||
| Next point. | ||
| You're still a big dum-dum. | ||
| Alex, let me begin my speech by saying that this thing that you've been working for the last month trying to scare your audience about is stupid cuckoo brains. | ||
| It'll never happen. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| It's nonsensical. | ||
| Your audience does not need to be afraid of that. | ||
| Shit. | ||
| I love it whenever he's so dismissive. | ||
| Not many people get to just take an Alex point of view and just go, stop it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Get out. | ||
| Hey, Alex, that's a big talking point for you, and it's dumb. | ||
| Just boo in the background. | ||
| Instead of you responding just while Alex is talking, just go, boo! | ||
| Well, I mean, that would be disrespectful. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Certainly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I think what Steve does is even more disrespectful. | ||
| It is. | ||
| Because whenever Alex talks about his ideas and his notions about America and freedom, usually there's a presentation of this romanticized ideal. | ||
| And when Steve comes on, it becomes pretty clear. | ||
| He doesn't share the same ideas about America. | ||
| He literally wants a fascist queen. | ||
| He wants millennia to be queen. | ||
| Trump, a non-politician. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| We're going to probably one day get Jared Kushner or an Ivanka. | ||
| And the reason for that is he's opened the pathway for business people to understand that the republic is based on one simple principle and one simple religion. | ||
| Serial capitalism. | ||
| What I used to do is serial angel investor. | ||
| Sure, it's reinvention. | ||
| It's always been on the cutting edge of global development and innovation. | ||
| Yeah, so Steve believes that the only religion and the only thing that this country is based on is serial capitalism. | ||
| And Alex has to agree with him. | ||
| When in the course of human events. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| Yeah, that's kind of... | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| King George, we are sick of not being serial capitalists, sir. | ||
| We must away with you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think I have a different view of America than Steve. | ||
| And I think Alex has sold his audience a different view of it, too. | ||
| And if this is truly what Alex believes, and the way he sees things... | ||
| I think that he's done his audience a serious disservice by selling them a bill of goods about this romantic notion of freedom and... | ||
| Everything that he talks about. | ||
| If that's what you believe, why even talk to me about the Constitution or the Bill of Rights or the Declaration of Independence? | ||
| Because those are all to protect serial capitalism. | ||
| Just don't bother with those. | ||
| I'm tired of them telling me, oh, read your Constitution. | ||
| And I'm like, yeah. | ||
| It's not in there. | ||
| Just say to me you don't give a shit about the rules or law or anything. | ||
| They would throw out everything that this country is based on if it meant protecting capitalism. | ||
| White capitalism. | ||
| Certainly. | ||
| We have one last clip here from Steve's interview. | ||
| This is interesting because this seems like a really big brag and I don't think it's accurate. | ||
| But it might be less far off than we want it to be. | ||
| Predict what's coming and how people position themselves for a successful, good, happy life. | ||
| I was involved with Jonestown. | ||
| I couldn't believe it. | ||
| I didn't even have to leave the United States. | ||
| They self-destruct. | ||
| And that's where the Democratic cult party is going. | ||
| They are in the process of self-destruction. | ||
| I don't believe that Steve was involved in Jonestown. | ||
| That's what he was involved in Jonestown, Dan. | ||
| He was Jim Jones, third in command. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| No, I don't believe that he was involved in any meaningful way. | ||
| I'm waiting for him to say he was involved in Jamestown. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| If you are your ancestors. | ||
| No, he, uh, but the timeline, I believe, is actually right, that he would have been the undersecretary or the deputy assistant secretary of the State Department for Management around the time that the People's Temple was in existence. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So I could see him being aware of... | ||
| The situation in Jonestown. | ||
| I don't know if I believe that he had any major role to play in it. | ||
| I can see him reading a briefing or something along those lines. | ||
| And then that, of course, turns into the mythology of him being like... | ||
| And whenever I faxed that briefing to my superior... | ||
| Obviously, it influenced things and changed the course of human events yet again. | ||
| Yeah, I could see him in that role as deputy assistant secretary knowing something about what was going on. | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| And then learning that the dude was going to go pay a visit to the congressperson. | ||
| And I could see Steve either being like, don't do that, or him being like, totally do that. | ||
| I could see either one. | ||
| No, he doesn't give a shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, after this, Steve leaves, and we get our visit from Deanna Lorraine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Great. | |
| So we go from, like, really ambitious, bold, brazen dickhole... | ||
| What is real is not real. | ||
| What's real is... | ||
| Or what's not real is real. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| To Deanna Lorraine, it's just like, this is such a shift in tone. | ||
| It feels so much... | ||
| Like, this dude might have been involved in Jonestown. | ||
| And then... | ||
| And then we go to this. | ||
| So tell people what happened yesterday. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So yesterday, I'm at a nice hotel, right? | |
| This isn't like a cheap hotel. | ||
| This is a nice hotel. | ||
| I told them, don't get you one downtown, though. | ||
| It's like another world down there, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But it's a good one, but it's a nice hotel, right? | |
| And I'm going in round, and I just went to the restaurant. | ||
| I went to ask the hostess a question. | ||
| I said, you know, is the restaurant, you know, what time does the restaurant close? | ||
| And naturally, as I'm talking to her, I just pulled my mask down a little bit to talk to her because otherwise it's so muffled, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And she just yells at me. | |
| She said, put your mask on over your nose. | ||
| Put your mask on over your nose. | ||
| I said, you know, you could just say, hi, how are you? | ||
| Or you could be nice about it, but you don't have to scream at me about it. | ||
| And again, as I'm saying, you don't have to scream at me about it in a nice way. | ||
| She screams at me again. | ||
| Put your mask over your nose. | ||
| Put your mask over your nose. | ||
| And I said, you know what? | ||
| I can't do this anymore. | ||
| You know, I think that at least during this pandemic, I'm already wearing my mask. | ||
| It's already dehumanizing. | ||
| You can at least be nice. | ||
| What happened to customer service during this pandemic? | ||
| It's gone completely out the window. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Even Alex is bored. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then I couldn't really help myself. | |
| I did flip her off as I'm walking away. | ||
| And I said, I'm going to file a complaint about you. | ||
| I can't. | ||
| Well, you should. | ||
| Yeah, you should. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Just. | ||
| Just wow. | ||
| What happened to customer service? | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Just fucking... | ||
| You know, I do like the globe. | ||
| I like the globe-trotting mythology. | ||
| I do. | ||
| I like the idea of Steve Pachenik being everywhere, the Forrest Gump all the time, and his swing's so big, and she's like, what happened to basic decency? | ||
| It's minuscule. | ||
| It's petty. | ||
| It's personal. | ||
| It's... | ||
| A boring story. | ||
| It's not a great story. | ||
| It's shitting on people who are having to go to work in unideal conditions. | ||
| It's unable to take a view outside herself at all to what these people might be going through. | ||
| It's not worthwhile. | ||
| Even if the story is 100% true, she sounds like an asshole. | ||
| She is an asshole! | ||
| Nothing about this is... | ||
| It's petty culture war type nonsense. | ||
| It doesn't rise to the level of being interesting. | ||
| This servant that is risking her life for minimum wage is not treating me the way that I would appreciate. | ||
| And so I am going to scream at her and flip the bird. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| Whereas Steve may be involved in Jonestown. | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| So, anyway, this is the last clip here from the 20th. | ||
| Deanna is talking about how she was on the TV in Australia, which we know about. | ||
| Yes, we were there. | ||
| Her feed was cut, allegedly. | ||
| Oh, it was the scalar attack. | ||
| Or the Skype went out. | ||
| One of the two. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look, I was on the Australian News, right, a couple weeks ago. | |
| The Australian Today Show. | ||
| And as soon as I started getting into the real death numbers and the presumed death... | ||
| They cut you off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| They cut me off and they said it was a bad feed, right? | ||
| And I talked about the president of Tanzania, how he's actually a scientist, and he sent in non-human samples testing a goat, testing a pawpaw, and it comes back positive. | ||
| You can't make this stuff up, but you can. | ||
| They're making it up, and yet the PSYOP continues. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| It's really funny how her Skype went out when she was interviewed on Alex's show, and then Alex very clearly was like, I don't think that they cut her feed. | ||
| I'm suspecting she didn't listen to that. | ||
| That's so stupid. | ||
| God, of course. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| I was saying a bunch of nonsense, and then my Skype feed cut out, which I proved never happened, because my Skype feed cut out with you, Alex, the person I'm talking to right now. | ||
| Obviously, it's those statistics that were dangerous. | ||
| It was so... | ||
| Blunt and in your face that my Skype is terrible. | ||
| That even you, Alex Jones, couldn't pretend that it was a conspiracy. | ||
| But now, I'm in studio and people have forgotten that that happened so we can pretend again. | ||
| That was a million years ago. | ||
| We can pretend these people are children. | ||
| So we get to the 21st and Alex opens his show and it's just like, this is where we're at. | ||
| Here is some of the new ads that Trump's putting out on this issue and the crime wave on this live Friday broadcast. | ||
| Alex just opens his show playing Trump-produced ads. | ||
| He's playing Trump-produced ads. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| For no charge? | ||
| I would assume so, yeah. | ||
| That's a campaign finance violation, I believe? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know the law on that well enough. | ||
| I think you can play them if you're not being paid. | ||
| Oh, yeah, that's probably true. | ||
| Isn't that a gift in kind? | ||
| Yeah, it's a gift in kind, isn't it? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know how the law works, but I feel like that's wrong. | ||
| I don't know if it's wrong, but it's certainly like, okay. | ||
| It puts you in a box, but I guess InfoWars has always been in that box. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| So I'm going to skip past this clip because Alex gets kind of hung up on a new Call of Duty commercial. | ||
| Sure! | ||
| Why not? | ||
| Why not? | ||
| There's a Call of Duty Cold War game campaign that's coming out. | ||
| There's a commercial for it that uses some audio of a Soviet KGB defector from way back. | ||
| And Alex is sort of pretending. | ||
| That the storyline of the game is reality, and it's very weird. | ||
| But expect that to come back in the future. | ||
| Now it's not just movies. | ||
| Video games are also predictive programming. | ||
| It's all real. | ||
| Everything is lesser magic. | ||
| Other day, I was doing laundry. | ||
| I ran into Crash Bandicoot. | ||
| Predictive programming. | ||
| That's a real surprise. | ||
| He was hiding with those two birds. | ||
| So, I'm going to leave that aside because it's not really all that important. | ||
| But I do predict that it'll come back. | ||
| Anyway, Roger comes in now. | ||
| Roger Stone is guest, and it's also to talk about Bannon. | ||
| Yeah, well, of course. | ||
| And Roger... | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| These guys are pros. | ||
| Him and Steve are pros. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like... | |
| This is just the shittiest shithead taking the high road stuff I've ever heard. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| I must say at the top that I take no delight in Steve Bannon's new problems, but they don't surprise me because we know definitively that he directly contradicted his testimony at my trial. | ||
| That's just like such a... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| That's such a cool, like, hey, look, I'm not happy, but the dude's a snake. | ||
| I just... | ||
| I just can't believe. | ||
| How do you think you can get away with that rhetorically? | ||
| That's such a fuck you. | ||
| If this wasn't Infowars, then every single time that Roger was on, I'd be like, why'd you drop that appeal? | ||
| Yeah, totally. | ||
| What happened there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did you read that report that was just out? | |
| Oh, he says, he does touch on that, and he's like, oh, it's just all the same old stuff. | ||
| Well, I guess that we don't have to bother with it. | ||
| Not quite all the same old stuff. | ||
| Interestingly, Roger seems to be really mad that he didn't know during his trial that Steve Bannon was under investigation because Bannon was a witness against him, and he could have used that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In my trial, the government had an obligation to tell us that Steve Bannon, their chief witness, was under federal investigation. | |
| Not doing so is a Brady violation. | ||
| It's not that Bannon's federal investigation was exculpatory, but we could have used it to impeach his credibility. | ||
| Did Steve try to make a deal on this criminal charge and throw me to the wolves in return? | ||
| I'll never know. | ||
| But, you know, I'm praying for him at this point. | ||
| Classy. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| What a dick. | ||
| That is such a... | ||
| A clause doesn't inviolate the entire sentence of what you're saying. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Look, I mean, I think he should probably be lit on fire. | ||
| Have you seen Wicker Man? | ||
| That was pretty good. | ||
| You sacrifice him. | ||
| Now, I wish him the best of luck in the afterlife. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| I would say that my response to that clip is, this investigation is not essential to impeach the character credibility of Steve Bannon. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you couldn't have done it prior, I don't know if this is going to help. | |
| I don't... | ||
| Well, look, you can't bring up all the scams that the both of you were involved in together. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| So you've got to bring in the feds. | ||
| That's the only thing that'll make sense. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, when... | ||
| We were talking about the immediate reaction that Alex had to Shadowgate, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| It was the gate of gates. | ||
| Oh, it was. | ||
| It was the gate of gates. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That's the first immediate reaction. | ||
| Then Alex's reaction was, I don't know shit about this. | ||
| He's never heard of it. | ||
| I don't get involved. | ||
| I don't get involved with secret stuff. | ||
| It wasn't even the gate of a gate. | ||
| All Alex does... | ||
| Is take publicly available information. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course! | |
| He doesn't have secret sources. | ||
| No! | ||
| No, but now... | ||
| And here he is, groveling, lying, working with the system, leaking on Trump, and now the very people, as I'm told, I talked to high-level folks in New York yesterday morning, they said, no, this is the deep state. | ||
| Democrats trying to embarrass Trump. | ||
| So now the deep state's doing Trump a favor against this traitor. | ||
| It just shows there's no honor amongst thieves. | ||
| So now Alex has secret sources, high-level sources in New York, who have told him that the Bannon arrest was to embarrass Trump. | ||
| This is just not fair. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's just not fair. | |
| You know, you get through it, but every now and again it still hits you. | ||
| It's just like, this is just not fair. | ||
| I mean, you're preaching to the choir. | ||
| I'm fine with it most of the time, but when he says that, it's just, you're just, just slap me in the face. | ||
| I would prefer if he just hit me with a glove and was like, no, I never hit you, and then hit me again. | ||
| No, I never hit you. | ||
| That would at least give me something to feel. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Other than impotent. | ||
| This is spiritually very similar. | ||
| And if you want it to get worse, I submit to you this next clip. | ||
| Great, great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Wall Street Journal has also reported that there are ongoing investigations into Bannon's relationship with a Chinese billionaire. | |
| I don't know what will come of any of that. | ||
| I don't know if there's any wrongdoing there. | ||
| But I think this story is to be continued. | ||
| Roger is very careful not to say the person's name, because that dude sued Roger for $100 million. | ||
| I have no idea what you're talking about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was Miles Kwok, who sued the shit out of Roger. | |
| Oh, God. | ||
| Roger has to be like, I heard about a Chinese billionaire. | ||
| I've never even talked about any Chinese billionaires in the past. | ||
| I have no idea what you guys are talking about. | ||
| Who the fuck is Millie Weaver? | ||
| I've been hearing a lot about her. | ||
| I must insist that I not say this person's name because I don't want to get sued again. | ||
| Cheating liars. | ||
| So, interestingly, I thought that this was pretty... | ||
| Pretty interesting. | ||
| And that is that Alex always in interviews is like, do five more minutes. | ||
| Always. | ||
| He's like me back when I used to drink. | ||
| One more beer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
One more beer. | |
| Come on. | ||
| Another round. | ||
| We've been there before. | ||
| And Alex is like that in almost every interview. | ||
| And almost every time people are like, yeah, let's go ahead and do a little more. | ||
| Roger, not so much. | ||
| Let me just do a few little factoids. | ||
| And if you gotta go, you gotta go. | ||
| If you do five more, just blink. | ||
| Can you do five more, Roger? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Actually, I have to end this segment. | |
| Oh, I know. | ||
| You're a busy guy now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Talk about in demand. | ||
| Roger's gotta go. | ||
| I'm certain he has nothing he needs to do. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| No, I'm done. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I got what I wanted out of this. | ||
| I'm not giving you a cent more. | ||
| I have... | ||
| Talked about how Bannon sucks, but then also been like, I've prayed for him. | ||
| I've also spread just enough suspicion about Bannon intersecting with my trial that my appeal doesn't... | ||
| I've heard there's some connections. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My dropping of the appeal doesn't look quite as shifty. | |
| Why wouldn't I drop the appeal? | ||
| He's lying the whole time anyways. | ||
| So, Alex goes to break. | ||
| And comes back. | ||
| And this really was weird. | ||
| I got worried. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| There are times when I'm listening to Alex's show where the tone shift is so dramatic that I'm like, uh-oh. | ||
| What's going to happen? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| What is going to happen? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Let me just get into this right now. | ||
| He sounds unhappy. | ||
| When I say I'm going to be honest with you, it just means that I don't want to be honest with you. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| And by that, all I've got is that I tell people what I really think. | ||
| If I'm joking around, I'll tell you, but still in the satire, you get the truth of what I'm doing. | ||
| And 99% of the time, I'm being serious. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| They always take the satire out of context. | ||
| Even though I love satire, it's a good escape. | ||
| What? | ||
| I'm so scared. | ||
| I am terrified. | ||
| Whenever Alex starts talking in riddles... | ||
| Yeah, he's going Sufi on us? | ||
| I'm only being honest because I can't be honest. | ||
| When I tell you that I gotta be honest about something, it means I don't want to be honest about something. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| That really worried me. | ||
| And he doesn't get to the point. | ||
| He just keeps going down weird roads like, he's not a racist, but kind of... | ||
| The enemy's winning, and in certain ways they're losing, and others. | ||
| Their old globalist house of cards is starting to come down, but their plan to counter that is to implode everything and get us so distracted with trying to feed ourselves, they don't get in trouble, and they run off through all their armored fortresses while we kill each other. | ||
| It doesn't mean we don't have real beefs with each other. | ||
| It doesn't mean there's not racist white people, racist black people, racist whatever. | ||
| It doesn't mean that there isn't real issues. | ||
| But the big New World Order mothership is killing everybody. | ||
| And we've got to save the ship. | ||
| And then later we want to be idiots and kill each other. | ||
| We can do that. | ||
| At least we're not going to blow the planet up. | ||
| Well, thanks. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I'm not a racist to hate somebody because of what color they are. | ||
| But I'm dealing with a racist group that doesn't like me because of what color I am. | ||
| I don't like those people. | ||
| I get angry at them. | ||
| And when I'm getting attacked by that group of people, it's going to be white people that come to my aid. | ||
| That's the way tribalism works, ladies and gentlemen, and I don't want to punch those buttons. | ||
| Because I punch those buttons, I personally will become wealthier and more successful for a little while. | ||
| And then we'll all be destroyed together. | ||
| I'm so fucking scared. | ||
| I swear to God, I'm not, like, I didn't cut out parts that make this make sense. | ||
| This is what happened right after Alex's, like, exasperated, you know, I'm not, can't do satire because people take it out of... | ||
| And then he's doing this weird thing. | ||
| It's like, hey, you know, there's these people who hate me because I'm white, so I hate them, and then white people support me, and I could lean into that and be more outwardly racist. | ||
| That's super profitable, but only for a little while. | ||
| What is he talking about? | ||
| His career? | ||
| Is that what he's... | ||
| Did he just sum up, like, since he joined Trump, he's like, well, you know, I was explicitly racist, and that worked really well for a little while, but then it all caught up to me on account of being sued by everybody for all the things that I did for being those. | ||
| But he's not being sued for being racist. | ||
| No, of course not, but he probably thinks he is. | ||
| Yeah, it's a good way to sort of experience it in a way to get yourself off the hook. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Because I'm not racist, so I don't even need to worry about being sued for being racist, even though I'm not being sued for this. | ||
| See, now, I thought that this was what he was going to get into, but he doesn't. | ||
| This is sort of a stray thought that he's rambling around. | ||
| Like, he's clearly dealing with something, but I'm not sure exactly what it is. | ||
| Because he just keeps going, and he's like, I don't want to get into this. | ||
| So just from a Machiavellian view, I'm human. | ||
| So I've got a pro-human outlook, but what's the thing I don't want to get into? | ||
| And I figured this out. | ||
| I'm tempted to stop doing research. | ||
| Smart. | ||
| Before and after the show, and just do like a six-hour show, but where I read it and talk about it for the first time on air. | ||
| Because my problem is, when I get in here and they've got hundreds of articles in front of me, I've already seen a lot of it. | ||
| And then it's like, it's almost like I'm a devil worshiper to look at this. | ||
| Like, I don't want to look at this. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| I've got a pitch for Alex. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
| All right. | ||
| He should stop doing any research. | ||
| Well, can I stop you there? | ||
| Can I stop you there? | ||
| What he should do is... | ||
| What he should do is hire somebody else to do all of the research for him, and then read and analyze those articles that he likes to talk about directly to him, and then he can just react to things. | ||
| Hold on one second. | ||
| Can I stop you there? | ||
| I'm starting to think. | ||
| Because I think that Alex thinks he's doing that. | ||
| I think he thinks that his writers are doing that for him now, but he doesn't even read their articles. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| I love the idea of Alex just being like, I'm tempted to stop working. | ||
| You don't work now! | ||
| Don't do shit! | ||
| What does he think he's doing? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, he did have a killer pool party over the weekend. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Apparently a part in spring. | ||
| He was doing some research about pools. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sandwiches. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Delicious. | ||
| Hey, we're doing a scientific test to see how many people can eat sandwiches. | ||
| The globalists tell you not to swim half an hour after you eat. | ||
| Bullshit. | ||
| Get in that lake. | ||
| Get on in there. | ||
| Eat a sandwich while you're swimming. | ||
| I was listening to this and I was troubled. | ||
| I didn't know what this headspace was. | ||
| I couldn't pin it down. | ||
| And then even more than that, I was confused because he was not being specific at all about what he's talking about. | ||
| And then in this next clip, I kind of got a sense of what this might be about. | ||
| I mean, we're not supposed to be around stuff like this. | ||
| They bombard us with this. | ||
| So I went and reviewed this morning and last night what they're putting on TV for kids, man. | ||
| And I can't handle it. | ||
| I mean, I want to start killing people. | ||
| I'm going to be... | ||
| I can't get it off the screen. | ||
| I'm not kidding around, folks. | ||
| I'm at my breaking point. | ||
| So, there's some children's program... | ||
| Are we mad at Peppa Pig? | ||
| Is that what's going on here? | ||
| What are we doing? | ||
| Thomas the Tank Engine has gone downhill. | ||
| What are we doing? | ||
| I mean, I had a sense that this was about those Netflix posters for that show, or that... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think it was a movie. | ||
| That French movie Cuties. | ||
| I believe that... | ||
| Did you not see about this online? | ||
| I heard that Netflix took something down because people were pissed off. | ||
| There was a poster for it that was way out of line with what the movie itself is about. | ||
| The movie itself is sort of an exploration of the hyper-sexualization of youths. | ||
| Through the prism of like... | ||
| So the poster hyper-sexualized youth. | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There we go. | |
| Yes. | ||
| And so people obviously took great aim at this. | ||
| I had a sense that maybe it was something like that. | ||
| But even so, this wasn't a movie for kids. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, I don't... | ||
| No, any animation is for kids. | ||
| It's not animation. | ||
| No. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Well, then any movie that has kids is for kids. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's interesting. | ||
| He's talking about children's programming, but he's still not being specific, and I just didn't know what was going on. | ||
| He wants to kill people over there. | ||
| Well, yeah. | ||
| I got up at 4 a.m., and I saw this story at like 5 a.m., and I went, oh, God, I remember that trailer. | ||
| I went and watched it, and then I went and looked at some others, and I was walking down the stairs, and I started dry heaving and throwing up on the floor. | ||
| And I actually stumbled into a side bedroom and laid on the ground for about 30 minutes. | ||
| And I'm not saying that to get your sympathy. | ||
| I'm not a victim. | ||
| I'm a warrior. | ||
| I can't handle these people, man! | ||
| So, I didn't know what he was talking about. | ||
| I had to try and find context clues on Infowars.com. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And there was an article from National File that was reposted on Infowars. | ||
| It's clearly what he's talking about. | ||
| And it was for a show, a Netflix show from last year that RuPaul did. | ||
| From last year. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Called AJ and the Queen. | ||
| It was about a drag performer who befriends a 10-year-old who's... | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I remember that. | ||
| So it's something to do with that trailer. | ||
| Apparently, Alex saw it, threw up in his stairway, and then passed out in a side room for half an hour. | ||
| And wants to kill people because of it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| A bit of an overreaction. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Don't you get it? | |
| It's a trailer, Dan. | ||
| I also don't think that that show was for children. | ||
| I don't necessarily think that was a children's show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I don't know anymore, Dan. | ||
| It has children in it. | ||
| It's supposed to be for children. | ||
| The best I can tell is the trailer was that. | ||
| That's what he's talking about. | ||
| Because that's what the article on Infowars that came out this day was. | ||
| That matches up to what certainly drives him to want to kill. | ||
| I'm just waiting for him to just be like, why can't every movie just be Angels in the Outfield? | ||
| Just make Angels in the Outfield every year. | ||
| We get one movie. | ||
| It's wholesome if it were that. | ||
| And then also... | ||
| If you watch Angels in the Outfield, you don't have to take on the pain. | ||
| You don't. | ||
| You don't have to take on the pain. | ||
| There are angels to do it for you. | ||
| But when Alex sees trailers like this, it gives him great pain. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| I know you're overloaded, too, and that's what the enemy's trying to do. | ||
| So we have to give it to God and say, God, I'm just going to get the information out, and I'm not going to let myself take on the pain of this. | ||
| But then it's a double-edged sword, and God goes, no, you're supposed to take on the pain. | ||
| God's like, I took on all of it. | ||
| You can't even look at it, one little piece, get your ass up and stop being a wimp. | ||
| So I'll be honest, I'm a wimp. | ||
| That's the process, and that's, you know, it is. | ||
| But then I look at people who won't even look at this and won't even speak out against it, and I hate you more of the devil-worshipping pedophiles because you could stop it! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| But you don't. | ||
| Couldn't they, too? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So. | |
| I don't like what the collapse is coming. | ||
| Because I know it's not going to be fun. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| We all deserve it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| You know, when you only saw one set of footprints, Dan, that was when RuPaul was carrying you. | ||
| I think this is a little bit of an overreaction. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| No! | ||
| When the collapse comes, it will be because of this show! | ||
| AJ and the Queen? | ||
| I think he's just pissed off because his initials are AJ. | ||
| No, people are going to think it's me. | ||
| I actually wrote that they stole it from me. | ||
| Steve Pachanik actually was the inspiration for Tom Clancy's AJ and the Queen. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| I heard that on Alex's show. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| I just think Alex needs to calm down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, trailers shouldn't make people angry. | |
| No, and I honestly, while I was watching that, found it to ring very false. | ||
| I found that to be very fake outrage. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, definitely. | |
| I think Alex was aware that there were these, quote-unquote, Save the Children marches planned for the weekend. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And, you know, he certainly likes QAnon stuff, even if he hates QAnon. | ||
| So he's got to find a way to save the children himself. | ||
| Well, he has to build that up and make it like a more front-facing, passionate part of his presentation. | ||
| In anticipation of that becoming something that he covers more. | ||
| You think you care about the children. | ||
| I care about the children so much I'm mad at trailers. | ||
| I want a murder because of a trailer. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Great. | ||
| And one of the other reasons that I feel like this is very false and very performative is he does this whole segment about this that's all over the place. | ||
| Meandering, rambling, nonsensical. | ||
| Then he comes back. | ||
| And he does an entire segment about how he's going to go down to Barton Springs with a food truck. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Just slap it. | ||
| The city of Austin has declared a secret Parks and Recreation Department emergency. | ||
| That's what they're calling it. | ||
| A secret emergency that we went down last weekend with over 200 people and marched down a trail and jumped in Barton Creek. | ||
| Multiple times on this episode, Alex mentions people passing out from heat exhaustion. | ||
| And it's like, yeah, maybe it was an emergency. | ||
| Maybe people were right to call it emergency that you're not taking care of any of the people who come to your rally. | ||
| Sometimes cause and effect seems to escape him. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Like, sometimes there's very clear causes and effects. | ||
| If you are hurting people with your dumb shit... | ||
| People are going to be like, hey, maybe we should do something about this idiot who's hurting people. | ||
| I'm also not certain that there was a secret parks emergency. | ||
| No, I'm pretty sure there was a secret parks emergency. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| Yeah, Ron Swanson was there. | ||
| It was a whole thing. | ||
| Alex talks this entire segment about how great it's going to be to go swim. | ||
| And he's not wrong. | ||
| I love swimming, too. | ||
| But what makes it really funny is that we end up in this very familiar territory. | ||
| Let me do this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let me do this. | |
| I'm ready to cover this, but I've got like four stacks. | ||
| I've got to get lined up during the break to make sure I hit every piece of this. | ||
| It all ties together. | ||
| Just today's news is, again, a painting, a seismic chart, a gestalt of what's going on, and it's just unbelievable. | ||
| Separately, you don't just need the products we sell because it funds this operation. | ||
| It's so amazing. | ||
| He wastes all this time talking about how we're going to go swimming and it's going to be great. | ||
| And then he's like, well, I can't get to the news. | ||
| I got to get that in order. | ||
| And then he punts on covering anything in order to do a protracted plug. | ||
| This show is so stupid. | ||
| Everything is so petty. | ||
| Everything is so petty. | ||
| All of their grievances are so stupid and pathetic. | ||
| Yeah, and that's really what I'm talking about with Steve, is he elevates things to a level of international espionage. | ||
| He's fucking Jack Ryan, Dan. | ||
| Even if it's not real and not true, it feels bigger. | ||
| I'm going swimming. | ||
| It's going to be a great weekend. | ||
| I want Melania to be queen of earth. | ||
| And one of the things I think is really interesting is that you notice that this swimming at Barton Springs protest has certainly got way more legs to it than his... | ||
| I'm going to save everyone who's been wrongly convicted of DUI. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And it's because swimming's fun. | ||
| Swimming is great. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You don't have to go to the police office. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| Nobody writes stuff down. | ||
| There's no work involved. | ||
| Nobody asks you questions. | ||
| It's sunny and nice outside. | ||
| You don't have to put in a lot of effort for someone else's behalf and their freedom. | ||
| Their behalf is really sucky. | ||
| You go swim and you get a fucking sandwich. | ||
| It's a great time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sometimes you get heat exhaustion, though, but don't protect yourself. | |
| Not him. | ||
| Someone else. | ||
| And you can just say, sorry. | ||
| What a fucking monster. | ||
| So anyway, he's doing this plug. | ||
| And he can't remember... | ||
| That comes a little later when he can't remember a product name. | ||
| Ooh, teasing. | ||
| But he's trying to sell some gut fusion. | ||
| But it's gone. | ||
| He doesn't have gut fusion. | ||
| He doesn't have gut fusion. | ||
| No. | ||
| Nobody bought it, so we discontinued it. | ||
| My God, gut fusion is incredible what it did for my life and my energy. | ||
| I mean, I was like I was 15 years old again when it came to the sex department. | ||
| Family show. | ||
| It's gut fusion. | ||
| Gut fusion. | ||
| I took probiotics. | ||
| Makes you fuck. | ||
| Took probiotics and man, it gave me boners like a teenager. | ||
| Gut fusion makes you want to fuck. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it doesn't exist anymore. | ||
| Nope, because no one wanted it. | ||
| But he wanted it. | ||
| He could just get his own secret gut fusion, right? | ||
| Maybe he does. | ||
| Maybe he does. | ||
| Maybe he has his own supply. | ||
| Maybe he's been doing too much. | ||
| I would describe how this plug ends as Alex being a goddamn mope. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| This is sad. | ||
| We have a lot of other big specials going as well, and I just didn't plug them properly. | ||
| Someone's not going to plug them, but we have the Everyday Essentials Specials. | ||
| What happens is I go crazy when I can't remember a product name because I'm teleprompter-free. | ||
| So I've got an OCD about it. | ||
| I used to have a photographic memory, but now I'm older, so I don't. | ||
| I'm sitting there trying to remember the name of our anti-parasite gut flush product that's beyond a probiotic, and it drives me insane. | ||
| It's not the name of it. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| It's not APEC PowerStack. | ||
| It's not Survival Shield. | ||
| It's not Oblificial. | ||
| It's not Survival Shield. | ||
| It's not Prosecutor. | ||
| It's not Krill Oil. | ||
| It's not Alexa Pure Breeze, for God's sake. | ||
| What is the name of that product? | ||
| None of them can tell me. | ||
| See how this is? | ||
| No one can tell me. | ||
| No one can tell me. | ||
| I won't be able to rest until I know the name of this product. | ||
| Good God. | ||
| You need a boss. | ||
| Alex needs somebody to like... | ||
| I don't even know this product. | ||
| Alex needs a boss who can be like, you're on thin ice. | ||
| Shape up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Shape up. | ||
| Look, I understand. | ||
| You know, you have a certain set of skills where you can ramble about things and people find it funny. | ||
| This doesn't fly, man. | ||
| You're putting on a show. | ||
| You can't do a minute of not remembering something and then being mad that no one's putting it in your earpiece. | ||
| See, this is the type of place that should be taken over by a private equity fund and run into the ground. | ||
| They always... | ||
| Don't ruin good stuff. | ||
| Take this shit, throw all your debt in there, and then kill them off. | ||
| It's fine. | ||
| You do it all the time. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Alex comes back, does not remember the name of this product, but he does remember how he went to a smart growth conference in 1996. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I remember one time I was at like a 2000, no, in 1996, they had a big smart growth conference in Austin. | ||
| And I was there for days. | ||
| I paid to go. | ||
| And they had all these big tech people. | ||
| And I'm like, but they're taking poor people's ranches and farms. | ||
| And you're abusing people. | ||
| And this is illegal. | ||
| And why would you want to hurt people? | ||
| And I remember they looked at me and the camera wasn't on. | ||
| They go, you idiot. | ||
| Of course we are. | ||
| There was a famous Dallas cowboy did that. | ||
| And he was just all satanic and into himself. | ||
| And he just brushed aside me. | ||
| White guy. | ||
| Like he was just, of course he is. | ||
| That's the attitude. | ||
| Convenient that that wasn't on camera, huh? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He was like, ah! | ||
| But we couldn't get it. | ||
| We ran out of film, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We put film on those old 16mm. | |
| Weird how... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| We weren't filming. | ||
| We can't catch them. | ||
| It's like Brigadoon. | ||
| You only catch one of those on video once every 500 years. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| One of the things that I want to really stress to you and to the listeners who don't make it their habit to listen to Alex's show on the regular. | ||
| One of the things that's really frustrating about his show is... | ||
| Most of it is extemporaneous bullshit. | ||
| I mean, he does a lot of research. | ||
| No, a lot of it is him relying on fake research that he's done to yell. | ||
| For long stretches of time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Indeed. | |
| About nothing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then sometimes someone will pull up something on the screen that's like a headline that kind of works for him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And then he'll riff on that for a little while. | ||
| Yeah, toss it in there. | ||
| Every now and then, he'll try to get to the news. | ||
| And when he does, it is just reading headlines. | ||
| No context. | ||
| No context. | ||
| A little like... | ||
| A little clip, a little like, eh, that's stupid, and the next headline. | ||
| Basically. | ||
| And so this is a story about American Airlines. | ||
| They're going to trim back some cities, service to some cities. | ||
| And this is basically how he covers it. | ||
| Let's keep going through these headlines. | ||
| American Airlines is dropping service to at least 15 cities CNN celebrates. | ||
| They say probably for good. | ||
| His analysis of it is non-existent outside of pretending that CNN is celebrating it. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which I don't know how he's justifying that. | ||
| I don't know why they would. | ||
| They're not. | ||
| But why would they celebrate it? | ||
| Were they to celebrate it? | ||
| Well, there's an exclamation point in the headline. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| We got to be more cautious with our punctuation. | ||
| Why would they write an article about it if they weren't celebrating it? | ||
| But this is what I'm talking about. | ||
| This is how Alex covers news. | ||
| The assertion that CNN is celebrating this is completely unfounded, and it's just in order to make CNN look like they're cheering for... | ||
| They're evil. | ||
| There's no analysis of the story. | ||
| What cities are these that are services being trimmed back for? | ||
| Why? | ||
| What is the explanation? | ||
| Is there an expectation that service will resume? | ||
| What are the issues that impact that? | ||
| Oh, those are probably all in that story with that headline. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He didn't read it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anyway, look, you know, I read some headlines. | |
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| And I've got all these other articles that are here in my stack that deal with all this. | ||
| And I'll be honest with you, I thought that was my COVID stack. | ||
| It's not even my COVID stack. | ||
| I've got a COVID stack. | ||
| That was like a stack that had some COVID in it. | ||
| It's the most insane garbage you've ever seen. | ||
| And I'm going to find... | ||
| Oh, here's the COVID stack. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| Now I have the COVID stack. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| We're going to come back and hit that COVID stack and we have a guest here in studio. | ||
| Separately, I was having one of those little nervous fits earlier because I couldn't remember the name of that product. | ||
| It's got free shipping on it and it's still 50% off. | ||
| Living Defense. | ||
| Ah! | ||
| So now it's time to plug it in because I remembered the name. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That is almost exactly a mirror of what happened earlier. | ||
| I'm just saying, oh, we'll get to this other news and then plug in. | ||
| I just... | ||
| I just don't understand why he calls them stacks when you could just call them your 8-pack power stack. | ||
| Of stories. | ||
| Every time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's simple. | ||
| Branding. | ||
| Yeah, totally. | ||
| Always be selling. | ||
| Subliminal marketing. | ||
| Always. | ||
| This is why he's not going to make it. | ||
| He doesn't come back and get into his COVID stack. | ||
| I'm shocked by that. | ||
| Instead, he does what I've needed him to do this whole time. | ||
| Get into the Millie. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Let me bring up something here that I owe the listeners. | ||
| I didn't tell Millie Weaver yesterday that I was no longer going to work with her after working with her for eight years because of the film Shadowgate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good to know. | |
| It just so happened to occur simultaneously with the release of the film Shadowgate. | ||
| I mean, I think that what Alex is trying to say, he does end up fleshing out. | ||
| It is because of the movie, but it's not like the content of the movie. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure, sure. | ||
| So much as it is, she's hanging out with weirdos. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| When the Shadowgate film got released, I didn't know what was in it. | ||
| And then someone they sent over here to the office was saying things that I knew were patently not true. | ||
| And when we brought up the things weren't true, what they said on air, about Roger Stone working with General Jones and all this stuff. | ||
| I tried to respond to them, and they just acted like I was crazy. | ||
| So then I saw the Internet researching the people they're involved in, and I was so blown away by it that I was like, this is so bad that if I talk about this, the media is going to attack me for it. | ||
| But if I don't talk about it, I'm covering something up, and so I'm going to talk about it. | ||
| I heard that, and I was like... | ||
| You listened to our episode. | ||
| I was gonna say, who on the internet is investigating this? | ||
| Who is fucking investigating Patrick Berge? | ||
| Who around here is like, let's get to the bottom of the berg? | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| It turns out it's Caitlin Bennett. | ||
| Oh, of course. | ||
| Has taken aim at her former friend. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| Caitlin, Millie Weaver, excuse me. | ||
| The two of them are in a death battle now. | ||
| And who cares? | ||
| But apparently she's dug up some dirt on Tori and Patrick Berge. | ||
| And that's what Alex was talking about. | ||
| But I got kind of excited. | ||
| They're like, hey, it seems like it might be about us. | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Anyway, it turns out that Alex doesn't like Millie's new friends. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| I don't know what Millie's into. | ||
| I want to think she's a good person. | ||
| But the people she's involved with are some serious people. | ||
| I'll leave it at that. | ||
| They've been, like, sending us Punisher images on Twitter. | ||
| Like, that threatens us. | ||
| Like, people threaten us. | ||
| We get scared or whatever. | ||
| You know what the Punisher does? | ||
| Okay, great. | ||
| So I'll probably go further now because of that, because you did that. | ||
| That's a rule I have. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Okay, if you send him a Punisher logo, then he goes further. | ||
| That's a rule. | ||
| That's a hard and fast rule. | ||
| Well, it's not, because back when he used to be on Twitter, I got really drunk, and I direct messaged the Infowars account, because their DMs were open. | ||
| I recall that. | ||
| I DMed them a GIF of Bray Wyatt that said, We're here. | ||
| I, a couple times early on, got fairly drunk and poked. | ||
| But it was very seldom and no response. | ||
| But again, that wasn't a Punisher logo. | ||
| It wasn't specifically threatened. | ||
| They're not wrestling fans. | ||
| No, but I think it's really interesting to see Alex is expressing that... | ||
| I'm going at you now, Tori, Patrick Berge. | ||
| I'm coming for you. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| With hard-hitting facts. | ||
| So I'm excited to see if that continues. | ||
| I don't think it will. | ||
| No. | ||
| Because Alex is kind of like, I'm going to say my piece, and then I'm done with it. | ||
| If you go to band.video, I'm not going to cover this ever again, I'm not going to respond to it. | ||
| The full Shadowgate film now has a write-up that I wrote this morning, and then links to what Caitlin Bennett put out. | ||
| Separately from our own research that we found, and best of our own belief, is accurate about the people that are involved. | ||
| So we're not decoupling because of her getting arrested for reportedly a scuff-up and a broken phone with her mom. | ||
| And it's not because of the film Shadowgate. | ||
| It's because once the film came out, people are like, do you know who these people are? | ||
| And then separately they were attacking us at the same time. | ||
| So I went and looked, and I... | ||
| Had it checked by experts, and it was just like, are you kidding me? | ||
| But this is what attaches itself to Q. This is what attaches itself to anybody that's successful. | ||
| Millie is successful. | ||
| She did well. | ||
| We get her total freedom. | ||
| So Alex is just basically being like, Millie got to a certain point of fame, and weirdos came out, like QAnon-type weirdos came out of nowhere. | ||
| She was incredulous. | ||
| She went along with them. | ||
| She didn't realize the sort of delicate nature of the grift we run here, and how these people will fuck everything up if you let them get too close, because they are actually dangerous. | ||
| Alex is sitting here like, I hate that I have to be competent right now. | ||
| This is actually a smart move for me, and it pains me to do it. | ||
| Well, this is the lowest level of self-preservation. | ||
| This is protection. | ||
| This is like, these people... | ||
| Could be, like, legit dangerous. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I don't know what they're gonna do. | ||
| They're gonna blow up our spot. | ||
| If we're associated too closely with them, you don't know what they're gonna do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| You can't do this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So, yeah. | ||
| I honestly am, like, good instincts, Alex. | ||
| I do like that he did confirm my assertion that beating the shit out of your mom and getting arrested for it is not what will get you fired from Infowars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey! | |
| Scuff up! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's what I thought. | ||
| That's what I was waiting for. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So in this last clip going out to break here, I mean, we have a couple more clips, but this is the last clip about Millie. | ||
| Alex bids her farewell. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| This is it. | ||
| Goodbye, Millie. | ||
| She did well. | ||
| We gave her total freedom, and I'm done. | ||
| In fact, on Monday, I'm going to take the Shadowgate film down and her channel because it's my side. | ||
| It's my operation, and I choose to not be associated with it. | ||
| And not even because of the film. | ||
| I just saw them making statements about, oh, he didn't fund our film. | ||
| It's our film. | ||
| So they're acting like they don't want it there. | ||
| You got it. | ||
| It'll be off the site Monday. | ||
| People that want it can go see it. | ||
| You can download it. | ||
| If they ask me today to take it down, I'll take it down right now, too. | ||
| So I'm done. | ||
| I'll never talk about Millie Weaver again. | ||
| And I'm just saying, I don't believe a word comes out of any of their mouths. | ||
| And that's it. | ||
| I mean, you couldn't write the script for this stuff. | ||
| And I'm just, all I have is the truth, so I've done it here. | ||
| So bon voyage, Millie! | ||
| Have fun with those folks you're working with. | ||
| I'm sure they'll treat you real good. | ||
| Now, Jordan, this is really fascinating because this is history. | ||
| Millie Weaver is officially the first person to be banned from band.video. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep! | |
| My God. | ||
| Oh, Alex! | ||
| Isn't this censorship? | ||
| My God. | ||
| Alex. | ||
| Alex. | ||
| Are you saying that because your website is a private enterprise, you have the ability to remove anyone who you do not particularly like from your website? | ||
| She might not want her stuff posted there. | ||
| And if that's, you know, obviously that's her right. | ||
| Then why would he say Monday? | ||
| Well, it takes a whole weekend for us to get the technology down to remove this from our page. | ||
| You gotta drive a little traffic while you can. | ||
| And that's kind of what I'm thinking, yeah. | ||
| So goodbye, Millie. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| It's been fun. | ||
| Listen, I don't delight in her downfall at all. | ||
| But I will tell you right now, I knew this was coming from the way that she was behaving earlier, and I think she deserves what she's gonna get out of it. | ||
| I don't delight in it. | ||
| Now. | ||
| This is trouble for Alex, because they have been promoting for the last month that she has the Sunrise Movement's entire server. | ||
| And now we don't believe anything that she says. | ||
| Apparently not. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| She has, like, the biggest scoop that she's been planning to break, and now Shadowgate screwed it up. | ||
| Boy. | ||
| Shadowgate. | ||
| The gate of gates. | ||
| It turned out to be a pretty significant gate. | ||
| It was more of a gate than I expected it to be. | ||
| It turned out the... | ||
| Real Shadowgate was Millie Weaver getting fired. | ||
| Boy, it's just, what a week. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| What a week. | ||
| That's good stuff. | ||
| So anyway, I went to college. | ||
| Well, there was your first mistake. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| I should have used the Alex Jones method. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I had like 15, 20 color encyclopedias by the time I was about 10. And it was so incredible hearing about this siege in the Chinese or the Greeks. | ||
| Or the Russians or the British Navy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got a whole series about 11 on the occult. | |
| Time-life books, like 10 volumes. | ||
| We'll get back to this here in a second, but I love the idea that he has 10 volumes about the occult at 11, and then was a Satanist at 18 or so. | ||
| Shouldn't you have known about this? | ||
| It's the forbidden fruit that makes you so... | ||
| Doesn't make sense. | ||
| Timeline's screwy. | ||
| I was reading about the whole history of the occult. | ||
| It was pretty accurate too today, you know, to be an expert on it. | ||
| Was it? | ||
| And if you go to college and try to get an education on something today, you don't get an education on anything. | ||
| It's all an education how to fight with each other and how different ideas are weird and you can only have this school of thought. | ||
| You're being taught to be a slave. | ||
| How would you know? | ||
| I got a classical education. | ||
| No, you didn't. | ||
| My parents would buy me any book I wanted. | ||
| So, I mean, everyone's really stupid because they go to college when they could just read encyclopedias as a child and, hey, learn about the occult and stuff. | ||
| I understand that kind of thought. | ||
| That's higher education. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| You think you can find it. | ||
| You know, there's the impulse. | ||
| People are self-taught. | ||
| Many people who have done amazing things are self-taught. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Alex Jones. | ||
| None of those people were like, I read some Time Life books, now I'm done. | ||
| That was not how self-teaching works. | ||
| Generally not. | ||
| And another thing that I would say is that I never think that college is mandatory. | ||
| I don't think that at all. | ||
| I think that there are a lot of incredibly intelligent, very high-functioning, brilliant people. | ||
| I'm not one of them. | ||
| But there are them. | ||
| They exist. | ||
| They are there, yes. | ||
| Who did not go to college, but at the same time, I will never hear somebody like Alex, who didn't go to college, say things like, all they do is teach you that ideas are weird, and not be offended by that. | ||
| There is a value. | ||
| To higher education. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And even if it's not essential for everybody and maybe even not for a lot of people, it is still very valuable. | ||
| One thing I feel like he has no concept of is the fundamental flaw in if your education consists of your parents buying you any book you want, there is an issue there. | ||
| Many of the things that I learned a lot from were books that I did not want. | ||
| True. | ||
| I do not want those. | ||
| That is why you have to go somewhere where somebody enforces rules to make you read that shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Otherwise, you're self-selecting for your own bullshit. | ||
| Yeah, that's a very good point. | ||
| There are tons and tons of things in college that I learned begrudgingly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, exactly. | |
| A lot of literature that actually turned out to be some of the most rewarding stuff was things that I'm like, I'm not going to read this bullshit. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Yeah, I had to read Anna Karenina, and I'm looking at it, and I'm reading the first two chapters just going, how can I escape this book? | ||
| It's a great book! | ||
| Well, you can escape through the back door, which is the end of it. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Finish it. | ||
| Anyway, Alex hasn't read a book in years. | ||
| Or at least a political book. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But you know I haven't read a book. | ||
| On geopolitics in years. | ||
| I read hundreds and hundreds and hundreds. | ||
| And I... | ||
| Hundreds and hundreds a year. | ||
| I used to stay until 2, 3 in the morning. | ||
| Most nights, because I had to read this book. | ||
| I had to read this book. | ||
| I have to read every page of Curl and Quigley's Strategy and Hope. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Which you only finished 800 of. | |
| That's just a straight-up lie. | ||
| Based on Alex's own words, that's a straight-up lie. | ||
| Trying to present this image. | ||
| Oh, I had to burn the midnight oil to read every page of Carol Quigley's book. | ||
| I skimmed it. | ||
| Such a narcissistic bullshit. | ||
| Not only have I read a lot of books, I've read more books than you can comprehend. | ||
| Hundreds of books. | ||
| I'm reading two books a day. | ||
| I'm Wilt Chamberlain-ing books. | ||
| That's what's happening. | ||
| You know how many potential universes there are? | ||
| That's how many books I read a day. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So Alex has a guest here on the 21st. | ||
| It's Deanna Lorraine again. | ||
| It looks like maybe she's doing a job interview to replace Millie. | ||
| Now, let me ask you a question. | ||
| If she were on Skype, how do you think this interview would go? | ||
| Short! | ||
| But she is in studio, and who cares? | ||
| I don't really care. | ||
| Of course, no. | ||
| But Alex tells her a little story that I find interesting. | ||
| Alex, there's a lot of timeline issues. | ||
| This morning, I got up at about 4 a.m. | ||
| I went and about 6.30 did a hike. | ||
| And literally, the first few times it happened, I thought, okay, I'm being paranoid. | ||
| These guys would be jogging on these paths that were like 15 feet wide, 10 feet wide. | ||
| They'd jog towards me when they're wearing a mask. | ||
| Like, you know, kind of aggressive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Because they would like always adjust it when they ran by me. | ||
| It's the same weird neurotic tics. | ||
| So, like, the thing that I just get fascinated by is imagining that Alex can't lie, and he's not making things up. | ||
| So then, a couple days before this, he got T-boned before coming into the show, had a mild concussion, still came in, did the show. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| This morning, he wakes up really early, sees a trailer for something, throws up in the stairwell, passes out for half an hour on the floor, and then goes jogging. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you still gotta get your exercise. | |
| You still gotta get your exercise in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| You know, it's a dedication to maintaining your body. | ||
| His body is a temple, Dan. | ||
| It certainly is. | ||
| It certainly is. | ||
| I find this difficult to believe. | ||
| Like, yeah, I went on this long hike where people with masks kept coming up to me right after I threw up in my stairwell and passed out on the floor. | ||
| That is as much bullshit as Leo Zagami committing 9-11. | ||
| And being Jesus. | ||
| Well, he is Jesus. | ||
| Which we often forget. | ||
| That is not bullshit. | ||
| He is the true Jesus. | ||
| So, I got some closure here. | ||
| At least in as much as now we know that Alex has said goodbye to Millie. | ||
| Clean break. | ||
| And I appreciate that. | ||
| So, I guess we're done with the Shadowgate saga now. | ||
| I feel complete. | ||
| We talked about the actual movie. | ||
| We talked about Alex's attempt to use it. | ||
| It going bad. | ||
| And then on Friday, our show on Friday, we talked about the weird... | ||
| Why aren't you talking about this at all? | ||
| This is one of the most thorough examinations of something that means nothing. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Like, none of this... | ||
| The movie makes no sense. | ||
| It's stupid bullshit. | ||
| Their relationship... | ||
| As ridiculous as it was, is only less ridiculous now? | ||
| It was apparently based on almost nothing. | ||
| It was a fragile, much like life. | ||
| No kidding. | ||
| A fragile relationship. | ||
| I don't think they were close at all now. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| But we're done with it. | ||
| And now... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I have a hankering to time travel. | ||
| I might be going in the past for Wednesday. | ||
| I think that's a good idea. | ||
| I feel like now that we have done this, this Shadowgate kind of feels like a new chapter has opened up. | ||
| I feel like Alex is like, obviously we can't leave the present day alone because we're coming up to an election. | ||
| Shit's getting wild. | ||
| But it's also incredibly boring. | ||
| So I feel like... | ||
| Something that I may do is... | ||
| One of the things about doing this show is you learn along the way. | ||
| And one of the things that I've learned over the course of doing this show is that whenever we set out to do investigations and time travel and stuff, we've been flawed because we have a question that we want to answer. | ||
| And we're looking for the answer to that question. | ||
| And I think that's a bad way to go about it. | ||
| So I'm thinking maybe we time travel and just see what happens. | ||
| Maybe we pick a random day and see if there are more locks. | ||
| I don't know about random day, but I think that maybe we go around when something happened, and instead of looking for, like, when did Alex decide to support Trump, instead we're just like... | ||
| Here is a time in history. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Let's see what happens. | ||
| Let's see if we can get a Somali Pirates out of this one. | ||
| Yeah, just open-ended. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So I might be doing some time traveling. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Letting Alex... | ||
| Look, I don't want to let him control my reality. | ||
| Totally, totally. | ||
| And as we only focus on the present day, it really is just at his whim. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And when his whim is boring, it hurts me personally. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So I'm not going to stand for it anymore. | ||
| I'm going to assert my independence and say, go fuck yourself, Alex. | ||
| You can throw up in your stairwell and go take a hike. | ||
| I don't give a shit. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| Yeah, this has felt like a very complete saga. | ||
| I know it includes a documentary, but it also feels exactly like a week when we do... | ||
| When we did the other documentary. | ||
| The whole week of episodes there, it has a beginning, middle, and end. | ||
| And now we move on to something different. | ||
| We have to to survive. | ||
| Not totally different, and obviously I'll still keep an eye on the present day. | ||
| The only thing that I regret is I wish it could have been contained within one week, as opposed to Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Monday. | ||
| I feel like there's an asymmetry to that that I don't like. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| It's your fault. | ||
| But otherwise, I do feel like the story's been told. | ||
| Yeah, 100%. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Documentary, fallout from documentary, Millie is now fired. | ||
| It really is just a complete... | ||
| It's a season, yeah. | ||
| It's a season of the show in and of itself. | ||
| It's like a miniseries. | ||
| And the other thing that's really motivating me to feel like... | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Take back the night. | ||
| Whatever, Alex. | ||
| Is that there are these things like Bannon getting arrested, the Senate Intelligence Report coming out, Roger dropping his appeal. | ||
| There are these things that are, like, big. | ||
| And Alex is just kind of hand-waving away. | ||
| I have secret sources in New York that say that Bannon's arrest is to embarrass Trump. | ||
| I don't do secret sources. | ||
| Ever. | ||
| I don't get in with that stuff. | ||
| Roger's appeal is going to completely change the ballgame and expose the globalists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you know, you gotta think about it. | |
| He had to drop the appeal because he could never get a fair trial to begin with. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Why would you waste your time fighting the good fight? | ||
| That's never done anybody any good. | ||
| So we'll see where we go. | ||
| But before we end today, Jordan, let's take a little time to hear from the people. | ||
| Let's go to the voicemail, then. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, Dan and Jordan. | |
| Policy Wong, Carl in Pennsylvania here. | ||
| Just wanted to reach out and say thanks for all you do. | ||
| The show definitely helped me because I listened to Alex unironically when I was but a young lad. | ||
| And here we are now in the present. | ||
| None of his predictions have come true. | ||
| Nothing he's ever said has come true. | ||
| So I'm starting to think young me was kind of stupid. | ||
| And just a remark for Jordan. | ||
| I am a struggling Red Sox fan right now. | ||
| So if you could pour one out for me or maybe mail me a hammer with which I can bash my teeth in while watching the Red Sox, that would be great. | ||
| Thanks again for all you do. | ||
| Go Sox. | ||
| Thanks, Carl! | ||
| Oh boy, that's tough. | ||
| What do you got on the Sox? | ||
| Oh, they're playing out Major League. | ||
| It's almost like they're trying to lose as much as possible in order to sell the team. | ||
| And move it out of Boston for some reason. | ||
| That's gotta be rough. | ||
| We need a baseball team in Paris. | ||
| So we're moving the Red Sox over there. | ||
| We'll call it the French Monster. | ||
| That's what we'll do. | ||
| If there's a season to throw, it might be this one. | ||
| This is a great season to throw. | ||
| But they were going to throw it anyways. | ||
| They traded away Mookie Betts, who is universally the second best player in baseball. | ||
| And Big Papi is gone. | ||
| The spirit of Boston. | ||
| He's not the spirit of Boston. | ||
| He got hurt. | ||
| He got shot. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah, well, this was a few years ago. | ||
| I didn't hear about this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| He shot or stabbed. | ||
| One of those. | ||
| That's terrible. | ||
| Yeah, it really sucks. | ||
| Also, Carl, don't beat yourself up too much about like an Alex when you were younger. | ||
| No, no, no, not at all. | ||
| It's very easy to... | ||
| And I won't lie, I enjoyed him unironically for a period. | ||
| Not necessarily believing everything, but I certainly didn't have the same critical stance that I do now when I was younger and got high a lot. | ||
| So you've got to let yourself go on that. | ||
| That's not a judgment of yourself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yo, Cat Guys, it's Isaiah, calling out from Oregon. | |
| Just wanted to say I really missed the Project Camelot episode, hearing about the spider leadership. | ||
| I feel you. | ||
| Really just made my day. | ||
| And, yeah, that was all. | ||
| Have a great day. | ||
| Me too, man. | ||
| Me too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No kidding. | |
| Right? | ||
| Wednesday would be our normal, like, we're fucking Project Camelot-ing it. | ||
| You know what, though? | ||
| I miss more than Project Camelot is I miss Project Camelot being innocent. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In a sense. | ||
| I miss it being just fun. | ||
| Goofy nonsense. | ||
| The first time we meet Captain Mark Richards is just the only time you can really meet Captain Mark Richards. | ||
| Well, I mean... | ||
| After that, it's all downhill. | ||
| Well, even that is a murderer, so it's not that innocent. | ||
| Well, yeah, that's fair. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| But there was a feeling of purity to the theories about space and aliens. | ||
| You thought for a second... | ||
| These are just space weirdos. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, they're people who are people. | ||
| They're just space weirdo people, and that's great! | ||
| I love space weirdos! | ||
| They love being people! | ||
| And then you're like, oh, they hate the Jews. | ||
| God damn it! | ||
| Yeah, once sort of like, oh no, this is... | ||
| It made it a lot less fun. | ||
| So less fun. | ||
| I would like to find something else that scratches that itch. | ||
| Yeah, me too. | ||
| But it's very difficult. | ||
| But I do miss it as well. | ||
| Hopefully we'll find something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, Dan and Jordan. | |
| This is... | ||
| I've been listening to your show for two years since I've been an undergrad in college and I have actually used a lot of dance research in a couple of my undergrad papers and I am moving on to a doctorate in medical sociology and I'm really hoping to use some of y 'all's research together to research That's | ||
| Stuff like that. | ||
| That's really great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I listen to it just about every day. | |
| I listen to a rerun just about every day. | ||
| Don't do that! | ||
|
unidentified
|
My mom turned me on to you guys, and she's also a policy wonk. | |
| And she'll be happy to hear this on your messages. | ||
| Thanks for everything. | ||
| And you are appreciated here in Alabama in all states. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| Hey, Esme. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| And shout out to your mom. | ||
| Yeah, totally. | ||
| Shout out to Alabama. | ||
| I like intergenerational enjoyment. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| There's not a lot of stuff that my parents and I can enjoy together. | ||
| Obviously, it definitely wouldn't be this podcast. | ||
| No, I've heard that from a number of people, and I do think that's really cool. | ||
| And I mean, I guess a lot of my ideas about parents are people who are very put off by obscenity. | ||
| So that kind of always feels like it's an impossibility, but not everybody has the same sensibilities. | ||
| One of my parents have said something along the lines of, you know, I listen to your podcast. | ||
| It's always come with the very clear tonal caveat of like... | ||
| For a tiny bit. | ||
| I got through about 10 minutes and I was like, this isn't for me. | ||
| I made it to the first yell. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| This isn't for me. | ||
| That's real cool, Esme. | ||
| I wish you the best with your post-graduate studies. | ||
| We support that 100%. | ||
| Not using our dumbasses for research, but we do support your path of study. | ||
| Nobody's ever like, I used one of Jordan's jokes in my PhD. | ||
| Certainly not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, check out this Chewbacca impression. | |
| Not a bad Chewbacca impression. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's not terrible. | |
| I have checked it out. | ||
| That was the whole call. | ||
| I appreciate that. | ||
| I like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey guys, this is Ben. | |
| I just wanted to call and say thank you for what you guys do. | ||
| I was listening to the recent episode where you played the voicemail. | ||
| I'm a teacher from the rural area. | ||
| I, too, am from a rural area, and I work in a very blue-collar field, and the information you guys give me is invaluable for doing what I've got, turning down the heat, so when they start getting close to Alex C. fringe stuff, I can just go, well, did you know that that's based on this and stuff like that? | ||
| I just wanted to call and say I really appreciate you guys. | ||
| I would really like it if you guys would shout out the Discord and the Reddit, because we have a really good community. | ||
| It's very wholesome. | ||
| It's one of the best ones I've been involved with. | ||
| Not to go on for too long. | ||
| I wanted to say thank you. | ||
| Love you guys. | ||
| Bye. | ||
| So I try to err on the side of not playing messages that are strictly just like thank you, you're awesome. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| But I think that this call brings up a couple of really salient things to discuss. | ||
| Yeah, good things to point out. | ||
| One is that that's so awesome that de-escalation is something that is so possible for people and that we could be of any help. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| Because that really is probably the best path in terms of dealing with people who are going down these roads. | ||
| Some shaming, I don't know if that's productive, but cooling the temperature a little bit, the way you put it, is so essential. | ||
| And then also I wanted to allow the shout-out for the Reddit and the Discord. | ||
| I don't know a whole lot about the Discord. | ||
| I know that some people run it and they have a good time chatting and stuff. | ||
| I don't know where it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know how to find it. | |
| I don't know anything about Discord. | ||
| I don't know anything about it. | ||
| I understand that I'm old. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I don't understand you're young. | ||
| I'm not on TikTok. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I get it, man. | |
| But there is also a knowledge fight Reddit board that people chat around and have conversations about stuff and what have you. | ||
| So check those out. | ||
| I am always amazed at how we are very lucky to have a group of people who find each other through us. | ||
| You know, like everything that I hear from people who listen to the show about our groups is like, these are the nicest people that are like, we are lucky to do that. | ||
| Oh, very much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| I'm just glad that it's not all infighting. | ||
| Everybody hating each other. | ||
| That would be a bummer. | ||
| Alright, one last message here, Jordan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just wanted to let you know that I do, in fact, have the inside scoop that Deanna Lorraine is a fascist. | |
| Do you know how I know? | ||
| Because she pronounced the Australian city Melbourne. | ||
| Not the way it's actually pronounced, which is Melbourne. | ||
| Or if you are from there, you might say Melbourne. | ||
| Only a true fascist would make that mistake, so... | ||
| Case closed. | ||
| Anyway, love your guys' work. | ||
| I want to send you guys some novelty coffee keep cups. | ||
| So comment as you see fit, if that's something you'd like. | ||
| Forgive my voices. | ||
| Have a good one. | ||
| Bye. | ||
| That wasn't bad. | ||
| That wasn't a bad Lionel. | ||
| No, that wasn't a bad Lionel. | ||
| No trace of an Australian accent in that, Lionel. | ||
| Straight up Lionel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the pronunciation of Melbourne was spectacular. | |
| Thank you so much for the call. | ||
| It turns out I was a fascist until I was 27, whenever somebody pointed out that it's Melbourne. | ||
| I'd only ever read it, and then somebody was like, you stupid bastard. | ||
| I have that experience about three times a week. | ||
| With different names. | ||
| Kawaka is one of them. | ||
| Yeah, well, you're definitely a fascist for that. | ||
| Yeah, it's a very nice offer that you make, and if you'd like to send something, just go ahead and send an email to knowledgefight at gmail.com, and we can set that up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| But thank you for the calls, everybody! | ||
| We'll be back on Wednesday. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| But until then, Jordan, we have a website. | ||
| We do have a website. | ||
| It's knowledgefight.com. | ||
| Yep, we're also on Twitter. | ||
| We are on Twitter. | ||
| It's at knowledge underscore fight and I go to bed Jordan. | ||
| Yep, we're on Facebook. | ||
| We are on Facebook and also there's a Discord and a Reddit community. | ||
| And if you would like to download the show, go to iTunes, leave a review and all of that stuff. | ||
| And if you could, please find a local charity or bail fund in your area to help out with people fighting the good fight. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| We'll be back. | ||
