Today, Dan and Jordan check in on what Alex Jones is up to in the present day. In this installment, the gents see what Alex thinks about the Bob Woodward news, football video game stats, and whether or not Joe Rogan is censoring him.

Hey, everybody. | |
| Welcome back to KnowledgeFight. | ||
| Hey, everybody. | ||
| I tried to talk through the bullhorn. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, man. | |
| That bit almost fucking killed. | ||
| It almost worked. | ||
| Damn it. | ||
| You really almost had it. | ||
| I bungled it. | ||
| You fucking bailed. | ||
| You could have survived it if you'd have just kept it going. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, everybody. | |
| Welcome back to KnowledgeFight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| Yeah, I'm Jordan. | ||
| I'll talk a little bit. | ||
| I just, uh, yeah. | ||
| It's tough. | ||
| It's tougher than you think. | ||
| It's hard to talk through a bit. | ||
| That's why. | ||
| I think the problem is it's very small. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't quite know where to put your mouth. | ||
| It's also hard to hear through the headphones. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| All right, bullhorn segment over. | ||
| This podcast where I like to sit around, drink knowledge of averages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| Indeed it is, Dan. | ||
| And how good he is at using a tiny bullhorn, apparently. | ||
| He's better than you. | ||
| We have just, in real time, proven his worth. | ||
| He's got a talent for bullhorn. | ||
| I hate that we said that. | ||
| No one's ever said. | ||
| No. | ||
| I hate that we set out to make fun of him, and in the end, all we have done is demonstrate his value and what he brings to the marketplace. | ||
| You know, it is interesting. | ||
| It's a niche. | ||
| It is a niche. | ||
| Quite. | ||
| Not many people fill that niche of being master bullhorners, but, you know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Hey, everybody's gotta go. | ||
| Gotta give it up to Alex when he's got a skill. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Dan! | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Hi. | ||
| Quick question for you. | ||
| Real loud that time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Sorry about that. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I was trying to talk through the bullhorn. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm just loud. | ||
| What's your bright spot today? | ||
| Well, Jordan, I mean, it's a lot of plant stuff in my life these days. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| I would say that my plant-related bright spot, plant-watching segment here, is that... | ||
| So, I've got a number of things going in various stages of pretty good progress. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Not broccoli. | ||
| The cucumbers. | ||
| Cucumbers are killing it. | ||
| And the pepperoncinis are, in particular, doing quite well. | ||
| But the thing that I'm really, really liking right now, that I'm feeling just so great about, is the fact that I finally got some quinoa to grow into viable little plants. | ||
| I had killed... | ||
| At least three rounds of trying to grow seedlings of quinoa. | ||
| I'm still not 100% sure what I did wrong with those other times, but this time I've got three plants that are pretty well established. | ||
| It's not always about you. | ||
| Maybe the quinoa just didn't want to be here. | ||
| It could have been. | ||
| You know, you've got to make everything about you all the time. | ||
| It doesn't have to be about you. | ||
| Well, I mean, sure. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| Maybe the seeds were predestined to not work out or something. | ||
| They had no interest. | ||
| It's a big relief. | ||
| I thought I was just sort of destined to keep doing it over and over again. | ||
| What am I doing wrong? | ||
| And then this round, it's just... | ||
| It's nice. | ||
| It feels like progress. | ||
| Yeah, that's very nice. | ||
| That's very nice. | ||
| How about you? | ||
| My bright spot was I had the opportunity to tell my partner about the St. Crispin's Day speech. | ||
| She had never heard it before. | ||
| She didn't know anything about it, so I was trying to get her inspired to go to work and make it through the day. | ||
| So I start going into the St. Crispin's Day speech, and she's blown away, and I'm like, listen. | ||
| The St. Crispin's Day speech is the only speech that will make you run through a fucking brick wall even though you don't understand a word of what's being said. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| It is the original fucking clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. | ||
| Of fucking drama. | ||
| And I played her the Sir Lawrence Olivier bit, and she lost her mind. | ||
| She was like, I don't even like this, but I want to run through a brick wall! | ||
| That's how I feel about Dusty Rhodes, hard time promo. | ||
| See, now there you go! | ||
| Yeah, and that wouldn't exist if it weren't for the St. Crispin's Day speech, Dan. | ||
| I would say it's the other way around. | ||
| Time travel, Randy Kramer. | ||
| It also gave me a chance to talk about my favorite conspiracy theory. | ||
| Which is? | ||
| We've been asked before, like... | ||
| Are there any conspiracy theories you believe or what's your favorite conspiracy theory? | ||
| And I've always left this one out because I forget about it. | ||
| But my favorite conspiracy theory is the Shakespeare is a woman conspiracy theory. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| He absolutely is not. | ||
| It's a him. | ||
| Everybody knows it's 100% true it's him. | ||
| But that's my favorite one to entertain. | ||
| I'm like, how many people have to lie? | ||
| And was she secretly a princess and she was writing like that and they couldn't put her name out? | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| But what about the theory that Shakespeare was a bunch of different people? | ||
| That one's also bullshit. | ||
| Are you sure? | ||
| Yeah, Shakespeare's actually Shakespeare. | ||
| It wasn't Marlowe? | ||
| No, it wasn't Christopher Marlowe. | ||
| It wasn't what's-his-dumb-fuck Francis Bacon. | ||
| It wasn't none of these guys. | ||
| Was he a spy? | ||
| Shakespeare was not a spy. | ||
| Was he in love? | ||
| He was in love. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Well, that is a fine conspiracy. | ||
| He had a very difficult marriage, though. | ||
| Is that right? | ||
| That is true. | ||
| I thought that historical Shakespeare was a much more open question, but then again, I will grant I have never looked into it. | ||
| Maybe one of the most studied individuals in the history of all of literature, and you think people would just let that be an open question? | ||
| I thought there just wasn't a lot of primary sourcing on it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, tons! | |
| This goes to show how you can just sort of have a vague notion of something if you don't look into it. | ||
| You're just like, that sounds probably true. | ||
| So speaking of conspiracies, we were a little bit of assholes on this one. | ||
| We forgot to mention and thank the Cult's Cryptids and Conspiracies podcast for having us on as a guest. | ||
| Last week we were on their... | ||
| They're a podcast. | ||
| It was a wonderful time. | ||
| They were delightful. | ||
| Yeah, I want to thank Chelsea and Christina for having us on there. | ||
| It was a lot of fun to talk to them about Alex, and I, as always, feel very self-conscious that I just rambled about various Alex-related nonsenses. | ||
| See, I never feel self-conscious because I am who I am, and I scream and annoy people. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| That's what I got. | ||
| So, if y 'all want to enjoy that, check them out. | ||
| You can find them at C3Podcast, and that takes you to the link, so you need to find them. | ||
| So, thanks again for having us on. | ||
| Yes, thank you very much. | ||
| We enjoyed it immensely. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| And we're bad at any kind of engagement on social media or knowing when things happen. | ||
| Definitely not. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Messages unanswered. | ||
| Emails unanswered. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| We never share links about our own show. | ||
| I'm the worst. | ||
| We're bad at this. | ||
| So, Jordan, today we've got an interesting episode to go over. | ||
| We're going to be talking about the period of September 9th and 10th, 2020. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| This is 2020. | ||
| Oh, God damn it. | ||
| I had sort of planned to do a little bit of a more longer scale or like the beginning of the week, but everything just kept happening and like Bob Woodward came out of the woodwork. | ||
| We both put our fingers up. | ||
| Pointing at each other to see who's going to break first. | ||
| Who's going to do it? | ||
| Who's going to attack? | ||
| Who's going to go wrong? | ||
| It's just too much. | ||
| We've got to look as close to present as possible. | ||
| We've got to be focused. | ||
| We're going to take a look at this. | ||
| And see how Alex is dealing with the fires on the West Coast. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| We're going to learn about Trump's tapes. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| Coming out. | ||
| P-tape. | ||
| Not the P-tape. | ||
| So yeah, we'll get down to business on that. | ||
| 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. | ||
| So first, Benjamin B. Thank you so much for now, Policy Wonk. | ||
| I'm a Policy Wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much, Benjamin. | ||

|
Thank you. | |
| Next, some guy. | ||
| All one word. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| What if it's some-a-gee? | ||
| Oh, it could be, yeah. | ||
| Thank you very much, some-a-gee. | ||
| I didn't take that into consideration. | ||
| I apologize. | ||
| Next, Atticus M. Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thanks, Atticus! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| And then finally, I'd like to say thank you to somebody who donated on Elevated Level. | ||
| We appreciate that very much. | ||
| So, Nate K., 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, Nate! | ||
| Yes. | ||
| If you're out there listening and you're thinking, hey, I enjoy this show, I'd like to support these gents, you can do that by going to our website, knowledgefight.com, clicking the button that says support the show, or... | ||
| Indeed you can, or you could spend years working on a relative play. | ||
| Think about who's involved there. | ||
| Think about all the characters necessary. | ||
| Take all of that creative energy. | ||
| Turn it into generosity. | ||
| Give it to the world, or more specifically, a local bear fund or charity, Dan. | ||
| A bear fund? | ||
| God damn it! | ||
| This is what happens when we record late. | ||
| We may need a bear fund. | ||
| I would like a bear fund. | ||
| So, Jordan, we're going to start things off here on the 9th. | ||
| And it's interesting. | ||
| Alex is talking about, like, red state, blue state issues. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| And he reveals what he means when he says red states. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And what he means when he says blue states. | ||
| It's very interesting. | ||
| It's not Democrat and Republican, or kind of is, but also means something else entirely. | ||
| It's being rolled out in blue cities and blue states. | ||
| And I use that term nationwide and worldwide now, because they don't call it red-blue. | ||
| Whether you're pro-human, you're red. | ||
| You're anti-human, you know, you're blue. | ||
| I guess blue blood globalist, gamelan, whatever you want to call it. | ||
| So Alex has taken the red and blue of the Democrat and Republican and used it to extend to... | ||
| Worldwide. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Pro-human is red. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Anti-human blue blood is blue. | ||
| Okay, are there regions within other... | ||
| Like, how about Chile? | ||
| Is all of Chile, like, a blue state? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Red state? | ||
| Are there smaller? | ||
| Does he think every country has states? | ||
| I don't think Alex could really break down state by state or nation by nation. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| He could tell you that Brazil is red. | ||
| He could tell you that much. | ||
| I think Brazil is purple right now. | ||
| Yeah, it's strange, because those terms already mean something. | ||
| He's just... | ||
| I would like him to have that Wacko video from the Animaniacs where he's singing the country song. | ||
| I would like Alex right next to that juxtaposed with just red, blue, red, blue. | ||
| Everyone hates humans. | ||
| So he's talking there about rolling out of all this stuff. | ||
| Of course, it's about COVID-19 and the public health measures that are actually secretly about taking over the world. | ||
| And it turns out that, like, hey man, we responded one way, and some other countries did something different. | ||
| And this is just nonsense. | ||
| Meanwhile, in Sweden, they did absolutely nothing, and now they're saying, actually, COVID didn't exist, and we have record low deaths from pneumonia. | ||
| It just doesn't exist, basically. | ||
| That smug tone right there doesn't exist, basically. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I can't even do an impression of it, but that tone there, that condescending fuck tone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I hate that so much. | ||
| Basically, it doesn't happen. | ||
| Basically, it's all bullshit. | ||
| Yeah, it's... | ||
| Yeah, that's very annoying. | ||
| Undeserved. | ||
| Especially for somebody who is 100% wrong. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| To be treated so condescendingly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, oh, basically there's no germ theory. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Idiot. | ||
| So this is a common right-wing media lie, saying that Sweden didn't do anything to mitigate damage done by the coronavirus, and they got along just fine. | ||
| It's essentially an argument against our public health measures using an imaginary version of what a completely different country did as support. | ||
| The first important point is that Sweden did not do nothing. | ||
| For instance, they banned gatherings of more than 50 people, they put restrictions on visits to care homes, and they restricted bar service at restaurants. | ||
| But many have said that this approach was not nearly enough, and some of the stats really bear that out. | ||
| A July article in the BBC points out that over 5,500 people had died from COVID-19 in Sweden, which gave it, quote, one of the highest death rates relative to population size in Europe. | ||
| A CBS News article from July points out that the death rate in Sweden is 30% higher than in the United States when the data is adjusted for population size. | ||
| See, they didn't do anything and it worked out fine. | ||
| The strategy that Sweden used would be wrong to call a total success, given that tons of people died. | ||
| And there's no evidence that the ultimate goal has been achieved. | ||
| The presumptive goals were to reach herd immunity, which has not been done, and to protect the economy, which also has not necessarily happened as one might have designed it to. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So, like, if individuals there had acted like Alex and his anti-mask weirdo friends, there's a pretty good chance that could be a complete nightmare in the making. | ||
| Nobody stormed the statehouse with guns being like, no, we'll never wear masks! | ||
| That didn't happen in Sweden, I assume, right? | ||
| No. | ||
| Are they a blue state or a red state? | ||
| Probably blue. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| According to Alex. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So, yeah, he has this notion that Sweden did nothing, and it's all just... | ||
| What? | ||
| What are you saying? | ||
| It's easy to lie about things. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, Alex gets to talking about his fears and his paranoias about the coming election. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And I'll tell you this. | ||
| Mark Zuckerberg may or may not... | ||
| Become president? | ||
| No. | ||
| He's in charge of telling us what's gonna happen, apparently, or something. | ||
| But we do find out who's gonna become president. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And Zuckerberg... | ||
| It says that it'll be days or even weeks. | ||
| And once you accept weeks of a delayed election, it'll be months. | ||
| And on January 20th, if the president and vice president have not been seated with the electors, then guess who becomes the president? | ||
| The 46th president. | ||
| Nancy! | ||
| The Crypt Keeper! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pelosi! | |
| And then if she steps down, do you know who comes next? | ||
| Hillary. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Michelle? | ||
| So... | ||
| He doesn't say. | ||
| He doesn't say? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What do you mean he doesn't say? | |
| He just makes those noises. | ||
| You can't just make those noises! | ||
| Barely you can. | ||
| So Pelosi would only become president based on her currently being the Speaker of the House, but there's no guarantee that she will still be Speaker of the House after the November election. | ||
| She has a general election against Shahid Buttar on November 3rd, and although she has a good chance of winning that, there is a chance that she won't be in office to become president in the scenario Alex is imagining. | ||
| If Pelosi lost, it's not like Batar would just automatically become the speaker, though. | ||
| No, you dethroned the person. | ||
| It doesn't work that way. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| If you kill the king, you become the king. | ||
| That's how it works. | ||
| It's not like whoever's in California's 12th district just gets to be speaker. | ||
| That'd be a weird rule. | ||
| Yeah, there would be another Democrat representative who would be chosen to be speaker, but that's also uncertain. | ||
| The Democrats have a fair majority in the House, but that's not promised, and though it's unlikely, the GOP could win back the House, and then they'd get to choose the Speaker, and we'd fuck around and end up with President Jim Jordan or President Matt Gaetz. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| There's two choices, and it's all nightmares. | ||
| Alex is painting a scenario to imply that Pelosi would choose Hillary as her VP, then step down and make Hillary president. | ||
| This is just about the most unlikely turn of events imaginable, but it really gets under the audience's skin, so this is what he always chooses to portray as the globalist evil plan, because it works. | ||
| Pisses off the audience. | ||
| Damn it! | ||
| I would revolt if Hillary became president. | ||
| If Nancy Pelosi was like... | ||
| Haha, surprise! | ||
| It's Hillary! | ||
| Like, that's a huge fuck-off. | ||
| I'm done. | ||
| I'm out. | ||
| Nah, nah, nah. | ||
| That would be late WCW wrestling. | ||
| Yeah, totally! | ||
| That would be... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hillary comes in with a fucking chair and hits Nessie Pelosi in the head. | |
| I'm the president now. | ||
| It would be a little much in terms of, like, convoluted... | ||
| Like, we've lost the thread. | ||
| This is Vince Russo-ass booking. | ||
| We've got to stop. | ||
| So yeah, I don't know how this one's going to fly. | ||
| So Alex is dancing around, hitting some news stories, skimming some headlines, as he does. | ||
| This is what Alex calls, like, covering the news. | ||
| Governor Noem rejects report that Sturgis rally led to hundreds of thousands of COVID cases is fiction. | ||
| Yes, it is. | ||
| Trump campaign crowd appeared to violate North Carolina mask order. | ||
| Good. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| That's great coverage of the news. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Reads the headlines like, you bet. | ||
| Gnome says it's bullshit. | ||
| Damn right. | ||
| Hell yeah. | ||
| They didn't wear masks. | ||
| Better believe it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Next story. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know what I'm going to do? | ||
| I'm going to pull up Politico here and I'm going to cover the news. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Let's see what you got. | ||
| What's your news? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You know, we had some deep analysis here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Federal judge blocks Trump's census order on undocumented immigrants. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fuck yeah! | |
| Shouldn't have done that. | ||
| Oh, Nelly! | ||
| Alright, next story. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ukraine gas company to add Rick Perry to its board. | |
| Awooka! | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That sounds wrong. | ||
| Just reading, cold reading headlines. | ||
| Just cold reading that headline made me frustrated. | ||
| White House moves to curb policing of corporate misbehavior. | ||
| That's right, that's what they did. | ||
| Alright, did we do it? | ||
| I don't know if anybody has any better understanding of those stories or anything now. | ||
| I feel like we just wasted a couple minutes. | ||
| Nah, we did great. | ||
| Great. | ||
| You wouldn't have known about Rick Perry being invited to join a Ukraine oil company. | ||
| I still don't. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Did that actually happen? | ||
| I don't think you can tell that from the headlines. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Look, that was as informative as any news roundup on Alex's show, and I don't even know what those stories were. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| There's a lot of indications of Alex leaning in on this episode toward kind of intense, violent talk, you know? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But it's all just about, like, how, you know, he constantly has this, like, you'll know when the time is right. | ||
| You'll know. | ||
| Everything will be, you know, they're trying to go hot. | ||
| All this stuff. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And, like, you listen to a clip like this, and you're like, you can't be saying it's some eventual time. | ||
| Like, this has to be when the time is. | ||
| I'm going to get into the pre-planning for the martial law, destabilization, collapse of the stock market, race war, the execution of the beta test, then the white paper saying they were going to go operational three months ago. | ||
| Now they're going operational, and we're now in the operation. | ||
| It's now been launched. | ||
| And it's official, and they're doing it. | ||
| Just like they loaded up a train full of TNT and started it towards a town, and it's going to just blow up when it hits the town. | ||
| I mean, it's... | ||
| It's coming down the tracks. | ||
| It's going 100 miles an hour, and it's coming right up. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Wow, indeed. | ||
| Okay, so you'll know when the time is right. | ||
| There's a train coming to your town with TNT, 100 miles an hour. | ||
| The plan is operational. | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So... | |
| Like, later then? | ||
| I guess. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| So how many trains do you have to get hit by before it's time? | ||
| Well, I know that Alex isn't big on the whole notion of absorbing the first hit. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| In terms of nuclear warfare and such. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know when you're talking metaphorical trains. | ||
| But you understand, like, the point that I'm making isn't so much that Alex is directly saying you gotta go shoot people or anything like that. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| The disjointed nature of this rhetoric, the almost self-contradictory hold off, oh wait, there's a train full of TNT coming to your town, the plan is operational right now! | ||
| It leaves the audience in a state of complete, like, if you listen to this and you thought Alex was telling you it's time to go kill some people, you would be justified. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| You could make a pretty solid argument from Alex's words. | ||
| That that was the message he was trying to drive to you. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| If on Monday you say, these are the conditions that we know, and when these conditions happen, you have to go kill people, and then you stop there and say, you'll know when it's time, and then on Tuesday you say, the operation has started, they're coming to kill us. | ||
| With a train full of TNT 100 miles an hour. | ||
| It's like a two-day-old split infinitive. | ||
| You're still saying now is the time. | ||
| Just because you're waiting a day in between, it doesn't count. | ||
| Yeah, it's really, really bad to do that to the audience. | ||
| Yeah, that's not good. | ||
| So, Alex, you know, I mean, I think probably one of the biggest stories of the week, the last week and a half, ten days. | ||
| Joe Rogan went to Spotify, my man. | ||
| Yes, I've heard that was the biggest story that I've read so far. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| This year. | ||
| And when he went. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Certain episodes were not included in the jump to Spotify. | ||
| Oh, did they get rid of all those Duncan Trussell ones? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| A lot of people didn't like those. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| He gets a little out there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Duncan's hippie ass is still there. | |
| And that's great. | ||
| Alex, out. | ||
| Milo, out. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Sargon of Akkad, out. | ||
| Who could have guessed? | ||
| Dave Seaman, out! | ||
| A lot of people made a big deal out of this. | ||
| It kind of makes total sense. | ||
| And if you're Joe Rogan and Spotify's like, I'll give you $100 million, you just gotta take down these assholes episodes. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Fuck yes. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Oh, wait. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| I can't have Alex Jones episodes. | ||
| I've gotta take those off the Spotify archive. | ||
| Oh, please censor me for $100 million. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I don't give a shit. | ||
| All right. | ||
| There are things that if they were trying to censor you, I would hope that no matter what level of money you receive, you would fight back and fight against it. | ||
| If they're censoring your Alex Jones episode... | ||
| You're like, I like a hundred million dollars. | ||
| Fuck Alex. | ||
| Alex is a piece of shit. | ||
| He said he was gonna gut me. | ||
| I'm gonna get his shit off of here. | ||
| Well, that was when he was being a sneaky snake. | ||
| Joe was being a sneaky snake and he was working for the globalists. | ||
| Don't blame the gut-ee here. | ||
| Blame the gut-er. | ||
| Sneaky snake working for the globalists. | ||
| And you know it. | ||
| He knew it. | ||
| He did know it. | ||
| Alex started talking about Rogan's kids on the podcast. | ||
| That was gross. | ||
| Yeah, that's really fucked up. | ||
| So anyway, it's very clear to the external observer that what's going on is that Joe got a really, really good deal. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That he doesn't have to worry about sponsorships. | |
| He doesn't have to worry about any of that shit. | ||
| Never. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Guaranteed money for the rest of his career. | |
| Totally. | ||
| Bye, Alex! | ||
| Bye, Alex! | ||
| Bye, forever! | ||
| Oh, sorry! | ||
| But it turns out, because he is in Austin also, and he's probably going to run into Alex at the Luby's or wherever. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| Not anymore, Dan. | ||
| Well, that's true. | ||
| Luby's is... | ||
| Luby's is shuttering its doors. | ||
| We'll miss you, Luby's. | ||
| Bye, Luby's. | ||
| Those old ladies are never going to eat for free again. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Alex will not be able to pay for sad people's meals. | ||
| In the future. | ||
| But I think he knows that he can't not talk to Alex ever. | ||
| So he's giving Alex a line of bullshit. | ||
| And I told you that Joe was debating which hundred episodes he was going to keep on YouTube under their deal and what he was going to put on Spotify because they can't be both places. | ||
| But I got word yesterday, I guess, Spotify's figuring out how much they need to be on YouTube and have content both places because that'll just promote over to Spotify. | ||
| I thought it was a very dumb idea to get rid of all those episodes. | ||
| Oh, so now my episodes will be on both platforms. | ||
| So see how that works? | ||
| There was a big debate going on with them about what was the best to do. | ||
| It's free on Spotify, but they have like a gold member deal. | ||
| And so they're just figuring it out. | ||
| It was not a censorship issue. | ||
| I told you, I called up Joe, had a 30-minute conversation with him last week, and I told you the truth. | ||
| It's just that Joe said, whatever the most controversial, whatever the highest views are, let me review a list. | ||
| Spotify kind of held back some of the highest viewed, but also some of what they thought was controversial. | ||
| Probably kind of hoping Joe didn't pay attention, and then that didn't go over there. | ||
| But then that blew up. | ||
| So there was some truth that it was censorship, but Joe's in control, so it stopped. | ||
| I love the idea that within that minute, Alex was like, I'm not being censored. | ||
| Well, there was censorship going on. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, yeah. | ||
| There's a little censorship going on. | ||
| I have a Spotify premium account, and those episodes aren't on there. | ||
| Oh, they're not on there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Oh, they're not behind the little paywall? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Oh. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| I have heard that very conversation from a comic who's been banned from a show. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| They're going to get me back on CYSK for sure. | ||
| It's just like, I'm not allowed to go back on for a little while. | ||
| I just don't want to overbook people. | ||
| They said it's too controversial that I peed in a glass on stage. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| But look. | ||
| Sometimes you need controversies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sometimes you need people who are going to push the envelope, but you can't book them every five years. | |
| The envelope's got to be stained. | ||
| It's got to be every six years. | ||
| That's why I haven't been on in a while. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| I've heard that nonsense before. | ||
| Get out of here. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| I love this. | ||
| This is Alex realizing that... | ||
| You've been let down easy, buddy. | ||
| You've been let down easy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So it turns out that Alex believes that it became a stock issue. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Spotify's stock might have been in trouble if they allowed Alex's Rogan episodes on or something. | ||
| That sounds right. | ||
| And Joe had said, I want to give you one of my first guests when I get to Austin. | ||
| And then that became a huge national issue and it was a stock issue and all the rest of it. | ||
| But Joe will be here soon and I will be with him soon. | ||
| I'm going to leave it at that. | ||
| Because it's really uncanny. | ||
| His office will be right on the street from me. | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| It is weird. | ||
| It's not that weird. | ||
| You have a rental office space area. | ||
| It makes sense that Rogan would find something commercially available. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I would say you probably might see Joe when he comes to see you. | ||
| You're not going to be on the show, buddy. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I mean, if he's still putting some episodes out just on YouTube, then I could see that. | ||
| YouTube doesn't allow Alex on there. | ||
| Yeah, but they allow Rogan to have Alex on. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, those episodes are still on YouTube. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Yeah, yeah, definitely. | ||
| God damn it. | ||
| And other things that have had Alex on as guests, like Patrick Bat-David, his interview with Alex isn't gone. | ||
| Bananas. | ||
| Yeah, but I don't know. | ||
| Obviously, I don't know the intricacies of this Spotify deal, but... | ||
| I would guess, based on the fact that Alex's episodes did not make the migration, it seems to imply that... | ||
| Oh, and if it was a stock issue... | ||
| It was a stock issue! | ||
| Their stock would have gone down. | ||
| If Alex was on... | ||
| If you have Alex on the Joe Rogan podcast, the market tanks, Dan. | ||
| There's Black Tuesday, and then there's the day Alex is allowed on Spotify. | ||
| I would assume that if Alex wants to do a podcast with Joe, it's going to be in the InfoWars studio, and it's not going to be the Rogan experience. | ||
| Yeah, that sounds right. | ||
| So, Alex gets off this topic, although he does talk about it for a while, and he starts ranting about what it's going to be like when the death of the dollar comes. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| They're going to have 10, 20 years of depression and then buy it all up and break our will and then they'll turn America back on later and have it be a threat to China and have a bipolar world again. | ||
| But right now they want to have China take over and have a big run, probably for 50 years. | ||
| And so... | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Folks, I start thinking about what the death of the dollar would look like. | ||
| We're talking Great Depression, but ten times worse. | ||
| And we're talking war in the streets. | ||
| And so I'll talk about that coming up. | ||
| Speaking of the devil, I don't want to exaggerate, but let's put up the name of the cell right now for TV viewers, please. | ||
| This headline is not an exaggeration. | ||
| Save Infowars, save the republic, save yourself. | ||
| Speaking of the devil, I gotta sell you something so we can fight the literal devil. | ||
| Oh, the death of the dollar is coming and everything is gonna be so terrible, so use those dollars to buy my pills. | ||
| You won't need them later. | ||
| Dollar's gonna die. | ||
| You better use them now. | ||
| So, Alex needs your money immediately. | ||
| And he rambles quite a bit on this episode about going out of business in the very near future. | ||
| And as is my new tradition, I refuse to take the bait. | ||
| I'm not going to take the bait, Alex. | ||
| I literally have agonized over this last few weeks. | ||
| But I'll just tell you. | ||
| We have everything we have in stock. | ||
| A lot of it we can't even reorder. | ||
| Everything's breaking down. | ||
| The supply chain's breaking down. | ||
| Everything's falling apart. | ||
| We're under a massive Chinese government hack attack right now, both sides. | ||
| They're secure, but it slows them down. | ||
| Costs us tons of money to fight it. | ||
| This is a real war. | ||
| So if you ever wanted an Infowars t-shirt, or you ever wanted to get an Alexa Pure Breeze, or you ever wanted to buy some of the supplements and see how they are and support us, now's the time, folks. | ||
| You don't want to wait. | ||
| This is sudden death, overtime, Super Bowl, but for the whole future, everybody. | ||
| With all their strategic attacks and things that are going on, I need to get fuel in the gas tank. | ||
| Let's say the fuel tank is on a tenth of a tank, and I've got to go 100 miles. | ||
| I've got enough gas to go 50 miles. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| So there's a lot of things I can do. | ||
| I have to make decisions, and I've seen the big support last week, big support this week. | ||
| That buys us the extra support we just got, bought us maybe in my gas tank another three weeks. | ||
| I need to sell everything. | ||
| I am not taking the bait, Alex. | ||
| Nope, nope. | ||
| And I'm definitely not dealing with a barrage of similes like that ever again. | ||
| He is the master of metaphor. | ||
| He knows how to really... | ||
| Just paint a word picture of... | ||
| It's like a gas tank that's one-tenth full. | ||
| I gotta go 100 miles, but I can only go 50 miles. | ||
| It's like I've got an empty stomach, but I'm hungry, and I only have one donut hole, so you guys gotta give me more donut holes, otherwise my stomach is gonna be empty. | ||
| Makes total sense. | ||
| Yeah, it makes... | ||
| Yeah, yeah, absolutely. | ||
| So it's bad... | ||
| It's bad, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I'm probably just going to say we're selling out of everything and then sell it at full price and then hope we have enough money to buy stuff into the future or go back to an advertising model or donations model, which people don't respond to. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I wonder why. | ||
| Because if Trump loses and they're going to put us in a depression anyway, it's just going to be so hellish. | ||
| We're all going to enjoy it together. | ||
| I mean, I feel sorry for everybody, man. | ||
| I tried my best. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| But I mean, it's bad. | ||
| It's bad. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This feels almost exactly the same as... | ||
| We've been here before, Dan. | ||
| I think it was December, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| When it was almost exactly like this. | ||
| I probably can't order more stock. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But now, there's two possibilities, because I hadn't heard that kind of shit before December. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| So, it's possible that Alex has just had to escalate to, like, new levels of, I need you to support the... | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Or, it's possible that that was... | ||
| Kind of accurate then, and he got enough to skate by, and now he's back in the same hole that he was in before. | ||
| I don't know, but again, I'm not taking the bait. | ||
| But it bears mentioning that this is going on again. | ||
| It's happening again to a level that is, I would call, overwhelming. | ||
| If you listen to his episode, it's like, wow, this is a lot. | ||
| Yeah, this is happening over and over and over again. | ||
| So, Alex gets into a little bit of etymology here. | ||
| We know that a lot of his guests don't know how words work. | ||
| No, that's definitely true. | ||
| And it turns out that he believes them probably because he just doesn't understand words either. | ||
| It's like in that movie Elysium where she says, you know, you'll be lucky if you don't hang for this. | ||
| And he goes, hang? | ||
| We do the hanging. | ||
| That's all that gives orders like Tony Montana says is balls. | ||
| And this isn't about bragging. | ||
| It's about you knowing how powerful you are. | ||
| You are just as important as anybody in the government, anybody at the New York Times, anybody at the Financial Times of London, anybody at the FBI. | ||
| You're a sovereign person. | ||
| That's not a slave. | ||
| You're a good person. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| And InfoWars is directly organic out of the dirt, like a lily out of the Nile mud. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| You are Moses. | ||
| That's what Moses is after. | ||
| Egyptian word for lily in the mud. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
| I just love the confidence of that. | ||
| Just such a, just like any object, just, hey, that's a pen. | ||
| Do you know where the word pen comes from? | ||
| Where's that? | ||
| It comes from the Sumerian for pen. | ||
| Oh, cool. | ||
| Yeah, it's great. | ||
| I know all about it. | ||
| Well, it's because the serpent loves word games. | ||
| That's where Jesus comes from. | ||
| So, yeah, I would say that there's a real interesting difference between being like, hey, you're just as valid as anybody who writes for the New York Times or anybody in the FBI. | ||
| They're just a person like you. | ||
| Just a person. | ||
| And there is some truth to that on just, like, being a human. | ||
| That's why you should arrest an FBI agent if you don't like them. | ||
| Yeah, there's different things that people in different positions are capable of doing. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| You know. | ||
| I think if you have a pair of handcuffs, you can arrest people. | ||
| You're basically in the FBI. | ||
| I think that's how that works. | ||
| I think that's a functional plan. | ||
| So I also love that Alex opened that with two movie references. | ||
| That is impressive. | ||
| Like, within 15 seconds, just two movies. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's Elysium. | ||
| It's like Tony Montana. | ||
| It's like Tony Montana. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| So he keeps rambling about he and his boys, the good people. | ||
| They're the ones who do the killing. | ||
| We're on the ground. | ||
| We see what's really going on. | ||
| We're where the crops are grown, where the engines get fixed, where the diapers get changed, where the dinner gets cooked, where the house gets cleaned, where the cuts get stitched. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You guys are busy. | |
| Just take a break. | ||
| This is where the living and the dying happens. | ||
| This is where you come into the world, you go out of the world. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, the living part, fine. | ||
| Stop with the killing talk. | ||
| Stop with the killing talk. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You're creeping me out. | ||
| Man, it just doesn't seem like the good guys are ever described as, we love killing! | ||
| We're the ones who do the killing! | ||
| We do all the killing! | ||
| We're the good guys, right? | ||
| Generally is at least a suspicious sign. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But the thing is, if we're the ones who are doing the killing, that's fine, because the other side, they ain't got no soul, baby! | ||
| Oh, no! | ||
| They're like running around with a hanger and they're pulling the pins to blow themselves up, hoping some of the shrapnel hits us. | ||
| I mean, this is followers. | ||
| This is slaves doing this. | ||
| These are pathetic people. | ||
| Don't let Zuckerberg demoralize you. | ||
| He's a pathetic nobody. | ||
| All of them have been chosen because they're so weak and so spiritless. | ||
| They have no God in them. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| No connection to the Father. | ||
| No connection. | ||
| It's all synthetic garbage. | ||
| Mark Zuckerberg's one of the poorest people on Earth. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| But they know you're rich spiritually. | ||
| That's why they want to make you poor, so you don't have money to be free. | ||
| Money is not worshipped like they worship it, because it gives them control. | ||
| Money is a symbol of energy, and I need it. | ||
| What? | ||
| Continue the fight. | ||
| So I'm going to tell you right now, 50% off DNA Force Plus. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| That was impressive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| That was impressive. | ||
| That's amazing! | ||
| That really was impressive. | ||
| That was a twist. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| There was crap to that. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It felt more like flailing. | ||
| It could have been flailing. | ||
| It kind of felt more like somebody who... | ||
| You've seen those videos of people who are skydiving and they somehow survive without their shit? | ||
| Sure, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That's really what that felt like to me. | ||
| That was like, yeah, I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| You made it. | ||
| You landed. | ||
| But it was ugly. | ||
| I think that was really ugly. | ||
| I could see that being a riff that was just going on too long, and then he heard himself say money, and he was like, money's my out, buddy. | ||
| I got stuff to sell. | ||
| Speaking of money. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And also, he said Mark Zuckerberg. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Remember that. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because he knows what his name is. | ||
| Is he in the 12th? | ||
| Which is weird. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So, Alex... | ||
| This gets back from break, and he's talking about some culture issues. | ||
| And, man, this dude could get mad about anything. | ||
| And I haven't even gotten into all the race war news. | ||
| I mean, just one of the craziest parts of the technocracy is the biggest video game sports maker of video games came out, and they have a game where Colin Kaepernick's the best quarterback in the NFL. | ||
| I mean, he used to. | ||
| All those games actually went off the real ratings. | ||
| He's not a very good quarterback. | ||
| There's some great black quarterbacks, but he's not even black anyways. | ||
| Yikes! | ||
| What are we doing? | ||
| Yikes! | ||
| What are we doing? | ||
| I mean, leaving the racism aside, man, I can't imagine how angry he was when NBA Jam Tournament Edition put Bill Clinton in the game. | ||
| Bill Clinton can't dunk? | ||
| They used to. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| NBA Jam used to be about the ratings. | ||
| It was. | ||
| It was. | ||
| It used to be about the ratings. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Gary Pateman drilled threes all day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Bill Clinton? | ||
| No! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No! | ||
| Let me see him do one crossover. | ||
| Ronnie Cycli, that's a guy who can dunk. | ||
| Bill Clinton, Al Gore, absolutely not. | ||
| What are they doing in the game? | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| Can you imagine if NBA Jam had Bill Clinton in both realistic stats? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Totally. | |
| See, here's what Alex is missing. | ||
| What he needs to do is stop complaining about adding people to games and start inviting them to add more people to different games. | ||
| Mortal Kombat? | ||
| Why isn't Bill Clinton a playable character? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| That's a good question. | ||
| That is a great question. | ||
| Ask Ed Boone. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| We gotta start this. | ||
| So yeah, I don't know. | ||
| Alex seems really bent out of shape about the idea that Colin Kaepernick has good stats in a Hideo game. | ||
| Let me go ahead and respond to this by saying I don't care. | ||
| Oh, why not? | ||
| It's a statement of our values, right? | ||
| As a country? | ||
|
unidentified
|
To put Colin Kaepernick into a video game? | |
| This is Alex... | ||
| I mean, he's still technically a free agent. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he's still in the game. | ||
| He's not a bad football player. | ||
| No, he's actually quite good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He's actually very good at that. | ||
| I didn't even look into this to find, like, oh, what are the stats? | ||
| Is Alex exaggerating this? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because I can't care. | ||
| I just can't care. | ||
| And the fact that Alex cares is embarrassing. | ||
| It is a problem. | ||
| It's embarrassing. | ||
| It is a problem. | ||
| Oh, world leaders, listen to my show where I complain about black quarterbacks having good stats. | ||
| There are some good black quarterbacks, so this isn't a race thing. | ||
| It's not a race thing. | ||
| But I don't want the ones whose political views I disagree with to have good stats in a video game. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know what, a lot of people don't like Donovan McNabb, but I'll tell you what, he was a good quarterback. | |
| Putin's sitting around, he's like, Alex has very interesting ideas. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| I'll have to talk to my enemy, the literal devil. | ||
| Yikes. | ||
| So, Zuckerberg, he appears to be rich, like Alex has already touched on. | ||
| And he is. | ||
| He has money. | ||
| Naturally. | ||
| But he can only do what his overlords let him do. | ||
| Destroy democracy? | ||
| He has to ask for permission. | ||
| People like Zuckerberg get told how big a jet he can have, and how many houses, and what he can buy. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| By JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and others. | ||
| He's a front man. | ||
| He gets told by Bill Gates. | ||
| I mean, Bill Gates has finally gotten to the table of the round table at the highest levels. | ||
| I thought he was in the 12. His minion, his trainee, his apprentice is Jeff Zuckerberg. | ||
| Come on over, dude. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| Oh, my earpiece has popped out. | ||
| Oh, sorry. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| So, now it's Jeff Zuckerberg. | ||
| I think that was a Bezos Zuckerberg. | ||
| He does this a lot. | ||
| It's really sloppy. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, maybe Zuckerberg is told how many houses he can buy by his financial advisors. | ||
| Maybe he has people who tell him, hey, don't waste. | ||
| Still don't care. | ||
| If he buys more than one house... | ||
| I still don't care. | ||
| I still don't care. | ||
| Also, we're in this weird sort of Schrodinger's Bill Gates situation where he's a member of the Council of Twelve. | ||
| He's one of the leaders of the world unless... | ||
| G. Edward Griffin is on the show. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And he thinks that Bill Gates is a middleman. | ||
| Oh, no, Skousen. | ||
| Skousen was the middleman. | ||
| Skousen was saying that Bill Gates is a middleman. | ||
| Yeah, and now Bill Gates is in some kind of limbo where he was a middleman, but now he's finally got his seat at the table. | ||
| But even then, we don't know if the table is the 12s. | ||
| I think the table is the 12s. | ||
| We might have gotten rid of the 12 entirely. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's a big table. | ||
| So Alex is still mad about Kaepernick. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| The greatest Nazi. | ||
| If you want to be a real Nazi, a real race-based person, wanting race war and wanting racial identity, it's Colin Kaepernick. | ||
| For PR purposes and all of it, he's the greatest Nazi. | ||
| What? | ||
| Talk about black folks. | ||
| He's the greatest so-called black guy that's closest to Hitler. | ||
| Who's closest to Christ? | ||
| I'm not comparing him to Christ. | ||
| I'm saying who's the closest to that? | ||
| It'd be Kanye West. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| What? | ||
| Wait. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Wait, what just happened? | ||
| All right. | ||
| Did I just hear that Colin Kaepernick, a guy who was blackballed for kneeling during the anthem, is actually a Nazi. | ||
| Because he was blackballed for kneeling during the anthem. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Closest to a Nazi you can get. | ||
| Alex is sort of ranking black celebrities, which is not good. | ||
| It does seem like that. | ||
| He's kind of arguing that there's an equilibrium of black celebrities. | ||
| There's a continuum, and on one side is Colin Kaepernick, and on the other is closest to Jesus, and that's Kanye West. | ||
| And that's Kanye West. | ||
| All right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I feel like those aren't the ends of the spectrum. | |
| No, and I don't have anything to say that would, like, I don't want to dignify this with any kind of, like, even response. | ||
| You don't want a fantasy book continuum? | ||
| No. | ||
| I reject the idea altogether. | ||
| I just present this as, oh, this is how Alex's brain works. | ||
| That's weird. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's a weird thing for a human to think. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Alex gets into talking about a news story. | ||
| There's an actual story, and it's about voting. | ||
| And, yeah, it's a bit off. | ||
| 1,000 people illegally voted twice during primary elections using advocacy ballots. | ||
| And I read what the state official over this said. | ||
| He looked into it. | ||
| That was a sampling. | ||
| And they found 1,000. | ||
| Videos up on Infowars.com. | ||
| Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffenspringer confirmed that at least 1,000 Georgian votes twice in the state's June 9th primary. | ||
| Oh, and guess who they mainly were? | ||
| I think you can guess what party cheats a lot. | ||
| Yours? | ||
| Yeah, I'm gonna go with yours. | ||
| This Georgia primary story is interesting because there is something going on here, but it actually doesn't work out at all for Alex's voter fraud narratives about the presidential election. | ||
| Alex has been arguing against expanding mail-in voting, but he's always made the point that absentee voting is totally cool. | ||
| He has to believe that because Trump says that, and he's nothing if not a follower. | ||
| This is where the Georgia story is a problem. | ||
| All these instances that he's talking about are cases of people who sent in absentee ballots who also showed up on election day to the polls and voted. | ||
| So it has nothing to do with the fears and conspiracies about mail-in votes. | ||
| This story also highlights that people who do this sort of thing get caught. | ||
| The evidence is that they did. | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| Well, the situation here is very unclear, because the investigation is still ongoing, but there are a couple of benign possibilities here that aren't good, but also aren't really intentional election fraud. | ||
| One possibility is that people sent in absentee ballots and didn't know if they'd been counted, so they thought they should vote in person to be sure, which isn't good, but they also might not have known that that was a crime. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| The second possibility is brought up in an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. | ||
| Quote, So there are possible explanations for this that boil down to bad voter education and poor communication about the process, but not criminal intent. | ||
| I've been on Yahoo Answers. | ||
| I imagine somebody was told, like, if you feel like you voted wrong, go to the polling place and vote for the other guy to cancel it out. | ||
| Well... | ||
| You know, like, it's borderline that level of, I get it. | ||
| Well, you could have been on Yahoo Answers, or you could have gone to Trump's rally in North Carolina last week. | ||
| Oh, there we go. | ||
| Where he literally said, quote, so send it in, and then see, and then vote, and see what happens. | ||
| Now you're assured, though, that your very precious and important vote has been counted. | ||
| Trump was explicitly telling his followers to try to vote twice, the very thing that Alex Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It's Democrats running against Democrats and Republicans against Republicans. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I'm unclear how this conspiracy is supposed to be working. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| Don't you get it? | ||
| Because it only happens in the Democratic primary, because they're cheating even each other. | ||
| Because blue states don't have souls, Dan. | ||
| And also, I'm going to have to say that Uruguay is a blue state as well. | ||
| I just have to. | ||
| So yeah, I don't understand exactly what the point here is. | ||
| And I also don't really know what all the details are of the actual story in Georgia. | ||
| But I think it's interesting, and I think more information will be known eventually. | ||
| But I think it's entirely possible that there was no... | ||
| And necessarily attempt to fraudulently vote as much as people didn't know what the deal was. | ||
| And, I mean, in this election cycle, you would expect to see increased incidences of that along with just completely screwed up voting systems. | ||
| People who don't understand, you know, people who are new to absentee ballots not knowing the process exactly. | ||
| It makes sense that there would be some hiccups. | ||
| And the fact that people are able to catch this means that those checks are also in place. | ||
| Yeah, if you want to get rid of this type of mail-in fraud ballots or whatever it is, if you want to deal with that type of fraud... | ||
| Eh, nah. | ||
| Fuck it. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| According to Alex. | ||
| Just let Trump be in charge. | ||
| Just make him king. | ||
| I'm bored. | ||
| So, for the rest of this episode, an hour of this episode. | ||
| An hour of this episode. | ||
| Alex has a buddy of his, Shane Steiner in. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because Shane went down to the old boat parade in Lake Travis. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And he has some thoughts about it. | ||
| Shane was in the crash. | ||
| Well, no. | ||
| He was jumping out of a helicopter. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Let's hear him tell the story. | ||
| By the way, my buddy Shane Steiner flew his helicopter around, shot some amazing HD footage of the biggest Trump boat rally yet. | ||
| Probably 6,000 boats are saying, like Travis last weekend, word is it's coming up again this Saturday. | ||
| He's coming in studio to talk about that and more and show that HD footage, stay So yeah, some boats did sink. | ||
| So he's not... | ||
| He's burying the lead on that one, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well... | |
| This was a huge success in his mind. | ||
| Look. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I heard from people that were out there on the boats that said that was the most fun they've ever had on Lake Travis. | |
| So everybody's out there having a good time. | ||
| Everyone's having a good time, man. | ||
| I've heard from people that it was not the most fun time they've ever had. | ||
| Because they were inside the water under a broken... | ||
| Well, look, man. | ||
| The news says that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I hate to admit this, but I just found out what gaslighting is. | |
| And it's when your own eyes are telling you something different than you're being told is going on. | ||
| And so that's what that whole day was. | ||
| So when I got home and started reading the articles... | ||
| Of all the boats sinking and just the chaos and the... | ||
| They said seven boats. | ||
| It was all exaggerated. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, they'd say several. | |
| I mean, if you get 6,000 boats, something's going to happen, though. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now, I'm not going to say that no boats sink, but they acted like it was armadas just going down at the helm, but... | |
| I love this idea that he's like, oh, I feel so gaslit by the news saying the boats sunk. | ||
| Now, some boats did sink. | ||
| I still don't think you understand what gaslighting is, despite the fact that you defined it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's very difficult. | ||
| Now I'm not gonna say that no boat sank. | ||
| People are calling it like this armada. | ||
| Now there were 6,000 boats. | ||
| No, he's saying that like some armada sunk a bunch of boats. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| And sure, I mean, great. | ||
| The coverage of the event did largely focus on the fact that boats sank. | ||
| But that's because that's the anomaly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Otherwise it's just a bunch of assholes on boats. | ||
| Right. | ||
| What makes it newsworthy is a lot of them sunk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Otherwise, none of us would have cared. | ||
| I don't understand why this is so confusing for Mr. Shane Steiner. | ||
| Keep on your boats! | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| So, this is the weirdest hour. | ||
| Because it has nothing to do with anything important. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It barely has to do with his adventure in Lake Travis. | ||
| It mostly has to do with how great having a helicopter is. | ||
| That actually sounds fun. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| That sounds fun. | ||
| Having a helicopter. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Not listening to this interview. | ||
| Bill Burr makes it sound great. | ||
| I assume this guy makes it sound great. | ||
| He's like, hey, you know, it's really safe. | ||
| And they say that it's not safe. | ||
| And I'm like, okay, I don't care. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| But, you know, apparently there's like commercial or like sort of civilian drones that fly around. | ||
| That can make things more dangerous. | ||
| I believe that. | ||
| As Alex and Shane say and talk about in this next clip, they almost got hit by a drone one time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The drones flying around actually is a risk to other pilots. | |
| In fact, you and I almost ran into a drone one time. | ||
| We were flying around downtown and... | ||
| Big one came right up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it was eye level to us and they kind of went off to the left and we went off to the right and we just passed each other. | |
| He did. | ||
| Luckily, he was watching. | ||
| He flew right up in front of us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He went, yeah. | |
| But still, I mean, if that would have flown into us, that would have been fun. | ||
| That was an Imperial probe droid. | ||

|
You always got to bring it back to Star Wars. | |
| Well, I mean, not that I'm even into it. | ||
| Aren't you glad, Star Wars? | ||
| The whole franchise is bankrupt now because they made it SJW. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's kind of gone down. | |
| In the past five years, the Star Wars franchise has brought in approximately $6 billion at the box office, if you include Solo and Rogue One, which is way, way more than they cost to make. | ||
| The Force Awakens is the number four highest grossing film of all time. | ||
| Star Wars is nowhere near bankrupt, but this is the right-wing narrative that they use to make themselves feel like they're opposition to diverse casts. | ||
| It seems like it's more universally held than it actually is. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| Shut the... | ||
| Shut the fuck up. | ||
| I'm not even really that into it. | ||
| Shut the fuck up. | ||
| You know what that moment was there? | ||
| What? | ||
| Alex brings up repeatedly in this interview that he and Shane went to high school together. | ||
| So this is like a guy who's like, oh, you dork. | ||
| Oh, this is him being like... | ||
| Alex is getting bullied! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, God, Alex. | ||
| Shane Steiner is a guy who's like a lot more in shape. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| He had a hit on the country music charts. | ||
| Back in the early 2000s. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| He has a bit more status than Alex. | ||
| He flies around in a helicopter. | ||
| And that... | ||
| That, of course, makes Alex turn into, like, I'll roll over and let you scratch my belly. | ||
| Yeah, you always bring it back to Star Wars. | ||
| I'm not even that into it. | ||
| I'm not even that into Star Wars. | ||
| Granted, I do impressions of Emperor Palpatine all the fucking time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I've come into every show with the Imperial March. | ||
| Well, that's just a great song. | ||
| I just think it's a great song. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not that into it. | |
| It's just a good song. | ||
| I'm not a big fan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not that into it. | |
| No, no, no. | ||
| It's SJW. | ||
| SJW, bankrupt nonsense. | ||
| Bankrupt Star Wars. | ||
| Six billion dollars. | ||
| Look, sure, it's the size of a small economy, Dan. | ||
| All three of the last Star Wars movies that came out are in the top, like, 35 movies in terms of box office gross of all time. | ||
| Of course they are. | ||
| It's kind of a big deal. | ||
| It's huge. | ||
| A lot of people like it. | ||
| So now we jump to the 10th, because the rest of it is just helicopter talk, and I don't care. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Well, we're gonna have to get rid of my new phone number idea. | ||
| 1-800-HELICOPTER-TALK. | ||
| That's too many letters. | ||
| Is that too many letters? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, on the evening of the 9th, Woodward came out of the woodwork, and a lot of the excerpts of the book started to go around. | ||
| People were talking about... | ||
| I mean, what do you think was the big news? | ||
| Um, let's see. | ||
| I... | ||
| Oh, what was it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump... | |
| Trump said something about some sort of global disease, I think. | ||
| I'm pretty sure he said that it was a giant hoax and that no one should pay attention to it. | ||
| And he was recorded saying it. | ||
| CNN put out those tapes that he said it was a giant hoax way back, right? | ||
| No. | ||
| No, it's not? | ||
| He didn't say that. | ||
| I can't even tell what your bit is. | ||
| Oh, I was being sarcastic. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because he said that coronavirus was more than later than you, and it was airborne. | ||
| He said it was airborne. | ||
| And he said that he always tries to downplay it. | ||
| Yeah, sure, you gotta downplay it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Now, that was what a lot of the media was reporting. | ||
| That was sort of the headline, because it's terrifying. | ||
| And... | ||
| What? | ||
| Because it makes Trump a premeditated murderer? | ||
| An argument can be made. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And there are fucking tapes that you can hear of Trump literally saying those things. | ||
| That was Anthony Otaminick. | ||
| Everybody knows that he does the best Trump. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So when I was sitting around looking at the news of this come out, I was like... | ||
| This is gonna be trouble for Alex. | ||
| I didn't think it would be. | ||
| I kind of figured he'd be able to find some way to, much like, again, the guy jumping out of an airplane and the chute doesn't open. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| Accidentally land right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| I figured there was something he was gonna be able to do or, like, be like, yeah, you know, Trump was just doing that to, like, play for the global. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| This was all part of his 12th dimensional chess game. | ||
| Yeah, Alex went a slightly different direction. | ||
| The year is 2020. | ||
| 53 days out. | ||
| And look at these mainstream headlines. | ||
| Mad Dog Mattis discussed secret military coup against President Trump while serving in his White House. | ||
| Plot to overthrow US government. | ||
| Here you can see how there's two different media ecosystems and they're reporting on the same underlying story with a different version. | ||
| That's the, there's a blurb from Bob Woodward's new book that Alex and Zero Hedge have decided to run with and make the main focus, which is General Mattis apparently had a conversation with Dan Coats about how there may come a time when action would need to be taken because Trump was dangerous. | ||
| This can be the lead of the story and the thing that's the most important, and it allows these people to just ignore or dismiss the other elements of the story that, like we talked about, that other outlets are focusing on, which... | ||
| is terrifying. | ||
| Yeah, you know, I mean, it's like the boats. | ||
| You know, a lot of people aren't realizing how much fun we had along the way. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Two different media ecosystems, two different realities. | ||
| Except, the mainstream press, they also cover the maddest elements of the story. | ||
| You can find tons of articles about that, but I wonder if Alex will also spend some time on the Trump absolutely lied about this virus publicly for political benefit thing. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| Will he mention it? | ||
| What's his take on it? | ||
| Well, I mean, he does talk a bit more about Woodward's book. | ||
| Woodward's book is a lot of lies and a lot of stuff that's true. | ||
| I know it's true. | ||
| I know it isn't because I've studied the whole thing. | ||
| Aha! | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| So a lot of it's lies. | ||
| Almost all of it's lies. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But then there's some truth. | ||
| And I will dictate to you what the truth is. | ||
| And then by, you know, matter of exclusion, by, you know, process of elimination. | ||
| You can tell that the things that I'm not talking about, those are lies. | ||
| The thing I keep going back to, which is the big reason that Bob Woodward can go fuck himself forever and fuck him, is that those tapes could have come out in what, March? | ||
| I believe it's somewhere around there. | ||
| Dan, we were still in it's over for humanity mode in March. | ||
| If those tapes had come out, the right-wing propaganda narrative... | ||
| Would have had to go in a completely different direction. | ||
| It would have. | ||
| There's no other way. | ||
| So Bob Woodward essentially... | ||
| And it's not coming back. | ||
| There's no way that Bob is going to put this out. | ||
| Just like we just saw with Alec. | ||
| He doesn't put this out and then the right wing goes... | ||
| Whoops. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I'm not defending his decision, and I think I tend to agree with you that it's malpractice to have not put this out earlier, especially given the way that things have gone and the consequences that we've seen in the world. | ||
| Yeah, it's disgusting. | ||
| The only reason I have any pause here is I haven't heard a reason why he didn't. | ||
| And I wonder if there's some reason that I'm not considering. | ||
| He's given a reason, and the Washington Post have both given reasons, and they are not good. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| His reasoning was, well, I needed to do more reporting on it and make sure that I got the whole story right. | ||
| That seems a little flimsy. | ||
| It's very flimsy. | ||
| I don't know what goes into that sort of thing, though. | ||
| I mean, I'm not... | ||
| Again, I don't see that as a really great excuse. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| But it's also coming from me, someone who's not in that position. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure, sure. | |
| So I don't know what legal issues there are. | ||
| But that being said, I feel like, you know, especially in a situation like this... | ||
| You could make an argument that there's a moral imperative that legal consequences be damned. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Without question. | ||
| It would have changed the right-wing propaganda narrative. | ||
| Which has been largely the driver of a large part of what has made this so difficult for our country to move past. | ||
| They would have had to go in a complete opposite direction where it is over for humanity. | ||
| They would have had to keep going on that route. | ||
| I'm just blown away. | ||
| It's just fucked up. | ||
| And I mean, here's what it is. | ||
| He recorded Trump saying, I am letting people die for my personal benefit. | ||
| And he held on to that in order to sell books. | ||
| Meaning that Bob Woodward is letting people die for his personal benefit. | ||
| It is the same action. | ||
| And it's disgusting. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| Yeah, I find it difficult to not hear that as a pretty sensible point of view. | ||
| It's a pretty big bummer. | ||
| Yeah, it's a real big bummer. | ||
| So anyway, back to our issue here today with Alex. | ||
| The thing you need to know is that all of Bob Woodward's book isn't true. | ||
| But the parts that are true. | ||
| Except for the part that Alex wants to be true. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So all of Woodward's book is a lie. | ||
| We'll go over that, except for the fact that they were plotting a coup, which is totally illegal and criminal, but now they're lionizing it because they're preparing another one when Trump doesn't accept the fraudulent results when they try to steal the election. | ||
| Aha. | ||
| So, the only part of this that's true is the part that's useful to me, and everything else is all lies, so just ignore it. | ||
| We won't even really even talk about it. | ||
| That's mean. | ||
| Also, no conversation about the fires in the West. | ||
| None. | ||
| None that I recall in these episodes. | ||
| It's fucking a quarter of our country is on fire right now and no talking about it. | ||
| No, because there's bigger issues. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| In what is Mexico today, all the way down into Central and South America, by the collapse of the Mesoamerican society that happened right as Cortez arrived, they were already collapsed, the main source of meat was human flesh of children. | ||
| They had shops down at the bottom of the pyramids with hanging children. | ||
| Shops? | ||
| And people came and bought the meat. | ||
| People would routinely eat their own children after they were gutted. | ||
| They'd go buy an arm or a leg. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| That's how they can get us to not care about human life. | ||
| That was going on everywhere. | ||
| That's not a sustainable system in any means. | ||
| See, I was thinking... | ||
| Humans are not nearly as nutritious as maybe you'd like to imagine. | ||
| Also... | ||
| The giving birth for food thing? | ||
| That's a real fucked up thing to do. | ||
| Well, it's also... | ||
| Resource-wise. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Especially at a time when maybe you don't survive childbirth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Considering how much you have to eat to bring the child to serve. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| The amount of time it takes, the gestational period. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it doesn't. | ||
| No, that's a poor economy. | ||
| Yeah, there's no way you could have a main source of meat. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe you could for like a week. | |
| But then it's all over. | ||
| I think it would have to be like a 50-50 thing. | ||
| Everybody gets to eat one person and then it's over. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Until you've got one person, you know. | ||
| Very dumb. | ||
| An eye for an eye leaves everybody. | ||
| People go down to the store and get an arm. | ||
| See, I thought the way to make people okay with killing people was to dehumanize them and perhaps even say that they didn't have a soul and they have no correct connection to your creator. | ||
| That's what I thought. | ||
| No, that's Americana. | ||
| Oh, that's right. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So, I mean, this blew my mind. | ||
| I didn't realize that... | ||
| Did you know that there are parts of your body called life switches? | ||
| But of course, the Bill Gates vaccines are linked to turning off a chromosome in the cells that is a life switch. | ||
| It throws a kill switch. | ||
| I just can't make this up. | ||
| Of course it's a kill switch. | ||
| He wants us to die. | ||
| He really wants you to take this. | ||
| He says it's going to make you really sick. | ||
| You're going to need a lot of these shots. | ||
| Then they're going to manage covering all that up. | ||
| It's all a big sick laboratory test. | ||
| But listen, with what's happening in the supply chain breakdown and all the craziness and China hoarding food and Europe and governments and elites digging into bunkers, you need to get your storable food one to two weeks for delivery now. | ||
| Goddamn. | ||
| Goddamn. | ||
| They're going to turn your life switch off. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Gotta get some storable food. | ||
| He is banging on all cylinders. | ||
| Goddamn. | ||
| Here's a little bit later. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But I'm just telling you, this is the big move. | ||
| The enemy is gonna try a coup. | ||
| They're gonna blow up power plants, set nukes off. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Anything. | ||
| Race riots, false flags. | ||
| We're in the season of war. | ||
| America is fighting for its life. | ||
| They're going to contest the election. | ||
| This is absolutely horrible. | ||
| The Justice Department's got a bunch of wimps in it. | ||
| They're not in control of anything. | ||
| And we are just sending ducks to authoritarians. | ||
| But I think God will help us. | ||
| The providence will make it out of this. | ||
| But it's up to you now. | ||
| But get your storable food and products now at InfoWarsStore.com while you still can. | ||
| Nailed it. | ||

They're going to blow up power plants, nuke cities. | |
| I've just read the Bible too many times to think that it's okay for you to be like, I think Jesus is going to get us through it, and you need to buy storable food. | ||
| You can't have those back-to-back. | ||
| You can't! | ||
| It doesn't seem good. | ||
| Jesus was pretty against that idea. | ||
| So, Bob Woodward's book is obviously the main media cycle, and Alex's version of it is all about this thing about Mattis, and so, like, if I'm going to handle this story, I've got to call in my big guns. | ||
| Roger Stone, what do you make of the coup plot against America? | ||
| I mean, even Zero Hedge gets it right. | ||
| Mattis wanted to overthrow the U.S. government. | ||
| I mean, that's what this is. | ||
| I know we were working on Roger's audio earlier. | ||
| Roger, can you hear me? | ||
| Don't say the N-word, don't say the N-word. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's just go with phone. | |
| Let's go with phone like I originally wanted guys, okay? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's just do that. | |
| Okay, well, Roger, can you hear me? | ||
| Yes, he didn't hang up. | ||
| He's on the line, guys. | ||
| He just doesn't have audio. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm with you. | |
| Hey, Roger. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Yeah, that was bad. | ||
| I was really praying he wouldn't say something really unsavory. | ||
| And so was Alex, I'm sure. | ||
| Yeah, I believe it. | ||
| So, here's Roger's take on things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now you have this latest laugh with Bob Woodward. | |
| Why would Bob Woodward, why would anyone believe anything he says? | ||
| Oh, I don't know. | ||
| Now, I'm here to not necessarily stand up for Bob Woodward. | ||
| No. | ||
| But I am gonna say that maybe Roger Stone is not the best source to call whatever Woodward is being discussed. | ||
| I think there might be a conflict of interest there. | ||
| Who would believe this guy? | ||
| Yeah, he's gotta... | ||
| You don't want to talk to a guy with a Nixon tattoo about whether Woodward... | ||
| About Bob Woodward? | ||
| Why not? | ||
| Why would anybody believe anything that Bob Woodward says? | ||
| It's like interviewing a guy about Upton Sinclair who has a tattoo of a dirty factory on his back or something. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| Ah, it's all lies! | ||
| It's all lies! | ||
| It's bullshit! | ||
| Come on, they're just trying to take down good men! | ||
| There's real comedy in the fact that Roger is like, yeah, alright. | ||
| Of all people. | ||
| He's who Alex has. | ||
| Probably, you know. | ||
| I don't know if there is a more partisan pro-Nixon person to talk to. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, like, I just don't know. | ||
| Maybe a family member. | ||
| I don't even know about that. | ||
| He was a dick to his family. | ||
| He was a dick, period. | ||
| Yeah, I think Roger's about as good as you're gonna get. | ||
| And it does not come up, this weird conflict of interest about Watergate. | ||
| That's odd. | ||
| Oh, well. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| So, Roger yells about how Trump needs to seize all the ballots in Nevada. | ||
| Sure! | ||
|
unidentified
|
The ballots in Nevada on election night should be seized by federal marshals. | |
| And taken from the state. | ||
| They are completely corrupted. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No vote should be counted from the state of Nevada if that turns out to be the provable case. | |
| We can prove voter fraud in the absentees right now. | ||
| So if this is proven, then we should seize all the ballots, and we can prove it now, so that means that Trump should go ahead and seize all the ballots. | ||
| Yeah, you might as well just seize them right now. | ||
| Yikes. | ||
| Have they ever noticed that when they condemn, like, other countries for doing stuff that's anti-democratic, that they're saying that we should do that? | ||
| Anti-democratic stuff. | ||
| Well, I mean, you can even take it less abstract than that. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Alex is about to get engaged in what could be a... | ||
| Very difficult election process. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And covering it and it might go to the courts. | ||
| The courts might get involved. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And he's doing that with the assistance and the expertise of... | ||
| Roger Stone, who was involved in the Brooks Brothers situation and the stopping of the recount in Florida in 2000 that led to and precipitated Bush being named president, which Alex thinks is an illegal carrying out of a stealing of an election that Roger Stone was directly involved in. | ||
| So now Alex, his guy, is not only coming on to talk about Woodward. | ||
| And not citing his biases. | ||
| And how other people are stealing elections. | ||
| He's also going to be making rationalizations and probably engaging in similar behaviors as he did in the 2000 election. | ||
| And Alex, back then, would have said it was stealing elections. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| And now it's just good stuff. | ||
| Now, here's the problem with Roger and Alex and all of this stuff. | ||
| It's how they're framing things. | ||
| And we've seen this with Alex. | ||
| Constantly. | ||
| And I think that Roger does it a little more clearly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd like to have an honest election in which the real winner takes office. | |
| The real winner will not be Joe Biden. | ||
| That's unimpeachable. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Unimpeachable logic. | ||
| I want a fair election where the rightful winner wins and the rightful winner cannot be Joe Biden in a fair election. | ||
| By definition, he cannot win a fair election. | ||
| Therefore, any election where Joe Biden wins is not a fair election. | ||
| Trump is the only possible winner. | ||
| Therefore... | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Everyone knows that in every fair election there is a foregone winner and the election itself is pointless. | ||
| This is such a normal point. | ||
| On Alex's show at this point, that if you're listening to it, you've just probably absorbed it as fact. | ||
| There's no possible chance that Biden could win in any fair scenario. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Totally. | |
| It's dangerous. | ||
| It's a fucked up thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, Roger has to go. | ||
| And Alex needs another guest. | ||
| Needs another marquee guest. | ||
| And when it's time to talk about potential coups... | ||
| We got one man. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Steve Channick is in the mix. | ||
| Alex wants to talk about how dangerous it is that Mattis is trying to plan this coup. | ||
| And here's Steve's response. | ||
| An attempted coup is really not a very serious problem. | ||
| Ooh! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ooh! | |
| Whiffed. | ||
| I gotta give it up to Steve again! | ||
| I gotta give it up one more time! | ||
| The man takes big swings! | ||
| You really expected him to come in and be like, Alex, this is horrible. | ||
| We've gotta root everyone out. | ||
| Hey, try to have a coup. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What are you gonna do? | |
| Honestly, I think he's called for coups so many times now, he probably doesn't think it's that big of a deal. | ||
| He calls for a coup every other week! | ||
| Yeah, yeah, he's... | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's called for Melania to kick Trump out of office. | |
| That's true. | ||
| Hey, no big deal. | ||
| Hey, listen, I've got some succeeded coups. | ||
| I've had some failed coups. | ||
| It's not that big a deal. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, Steve, what he believes is that the problem that we see here is that our military, it's just not going to work. | ||
| It just doesn't work. | ||
| It just doesn't work. | ||
| Military. | ||
| It doesn't work. | ||
| Oh, damn it. | ||
| What's happened is our military is not viable. | ||
| We got 2.2 million men in uniform. | ||
| There's no value to it. | ||
| Trump understands that Trump took us out of Syria. | ||
| He took us out of Iraq, Afghanistan. | ||
| Why did he do that? | ||
| For number one, he is very smart. | ||
| He knows we do not win the wars. | ||
| They're not effective. | ||
| We do not make money. | ||
| And the bottom line is that we have a far more serious problem in terms of the economy and in terms of getting our growth back in. | ||
| I was about to say, for people that were actually there, they said Woodward and others are lying. | ||
| So now Woodward is lying about Mattis' attempted coup. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| Yeah, this is confusing. | ||
| This is unfortunate. | ||
| This is what happens when the truth is just so obvious. | ||
| That it's like, they can't admit that they were stupid. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| For any reason. | ||
| Or that Trump is an idiot. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that talking to Woodward is fucking stupid. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He shouldn't have done that. | ||
| It's incredibly stupid. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so it has to be... | ||
| Even more outlandish. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| We can only accelerate. | ||
| That's what I'm saying with Woodward. | ||
| We can only accelerate from here. | ||
| What he did is meaningless now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He destroyed the meaning of his own work. | |
| But, and I'm not disagreeing with you. | ||
| I know, I'm sorry, I'm just angry about it. | ||
| I understand, and you have every right to be. | ||
| I'm not disagreeing with you, but I would also say that maybe he wouldn't know that. | ||
| You know? | ||
| That's possible. | ||
| Maybe, in a more sensible time, this would have been completely destructive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This would have been a bombshell that would have, yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| That's possible. | ||
| I mean, he probably thought it only took him forever to take down Nixon, too. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Fuck him. | ||
| I have no sympathy. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| So, Steve has to wrestle with this. | ||
| This question that is... | ||
| If this guy that we love is so smart, why would he do something so stupid as to talk to Woodward? | ||
| That's a great question. | ||
| Now, granted, we're not going to talk about what he said. | ||
| Why wouldn't we? | ||
| But Steve is asking questions that really answer themselves. | ||
| Why would Trump allow Bob Woodward? | ||
| To have 18 interviews with him when Trump knew very well from Woodward's history that he's going to get a hit piece, it's going to be a disaster about him, and there's no upside. | ||
| Yet he spent a whole hours in the beginning at the White House, and then every night for 18 nights he would call Woodward. | ||
| Now, why would a man who's so smart do that? | ||
| Yeah, ask yourself that. | ||
| Do you know what it is exactly? | ||
| Narcissism? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Vanity? | |
| It's when a serial killer will go talk to the cops while they're investigating the crime he committed. | ||
| That's 100% what it is. | ||
| It is narcissism, look at how I can get away with everything. | ||
| It's totally that. | ||
| I mean, granted, we're making an assumption, but boy does it feel like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It sure looks exactly like that. | |
| So apparently, Steve, I mean, I should have known this. | ||
| Apparently him and Bob Woodward go way back. | ||
| Of course! | ||
| I happen to know Woodward. | ||
| I thought he was a phony to begin with. | ||
| He and I started at a newspaper called the Montgomery County Sentinel. | ||
| He never had any journalism behind him. | ||
| He's a CIA operative. | ||
| I've known all about him for years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. | |
| Wait, wait, wait. | ||
| What did he just say? | ||
| He started together at the what? | ||
| Montgomery Journal Sentinel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, wait. | |
| Steve Prochenek works for the Montgomery Journal Sentinel? | ||
| What? | ||
| What just happened here? | ||
| Steve's done everything. | ||
| What just happened here? | ||
| Steve's done everything. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| So, in this next clip... | ||
| I knew a young Martin Luther King Jr. as he was growing up in Alabama. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yeah, he was deep throat. | ||
| Yeah, he was. | ||
| So, now Steve gets to answering the question of, like, if Trump is so smart, why would he do this? | ||
| Because he's not. | ||
| Well, I would say that Steve's describing a real asshole here and someone who I definitely don't want to be president. | ||
| So why did Trump do it? | ||
| So he'd know what his enemies were up to? | ||
| That's one thing. | ||
| But Trump, like yourself and possibly like me, we like the game. | ||
| The game to us is far more important than anything anyone else can see. | ||
| Now, what do I mean? | ||
| Good question. | ||
| Look how many books came out now about him negatively. | ||
| Mary Trump says that he's a terrible man. | ||
| His sister says he's worse than terrible. | ||
| Michael Cohen, his Jewish corrupt lawyer, says he's corrupt. | ||
| What did that just do? | ||
| And then you have other books coming out that says that he's a disaster, John Bolton. | ||
| Why does he do that? | ||
| One word only. | ||
| It's called Trump. | ||
| You can knock it. | ||
| You can praise it. | ||
| He doesn't give a damn either way as long as you use the word T-R-U-M-P. | ||
| And every one of these people who goes negatively against him, including the stupid publishers, are doing nothing more than to help Trump self-aggrandize because he understood something a long time ago that you and I understood. | ||
| Every knock is a boost. | ||
| That's really, really bad for a leader to think that way. | ||
| Because think about it. | ||
| If you just allow that sort of reasoning to go to its logical extent, how much bad press would he get from nuking somebody? | ||
| Like, how much bad press would he get from doing terrible things? | ||
| Probably a ton. | ||
| Who cares if it's bad press? | ||
| They're talking about me. | ||
| That is a really, really... | ||
| Like, cancerous mentality for someone with actual power to have. | ||
| Alex, do you know why he's doing this? | ||
| Because he's a narcissistic psychopath, Alex. | ||
| Come on! | ||
| It's something that you and I understand. | ||
| That's what we want to do! | ||
| It's all about the game! | ||
| It's not about the hundreds of thousands of people that are dead that he personally killed. | ||
| We understand this because that's how we make money! | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's the game! | |
| It's the game! | ||
| Look, you're in the game. | ||
| It's like Omar, alright, man? | ||
| It's like Omar. | ||
| It's like P.V. Barnum said, just get my name right, and Trump understands that that gives him the name recognition, and then there's also so much disinfo that none of it matters, and the more he survives disinfo, the more he almost becomes invincible to anything they might have that's real. | ||
| You got it, and that's true of Alex Jones. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| You guys accidentally kind of got it right if you just remove dis. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, that also... | ||
| Kind of is an admission that there is a lot of real stuff. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| That he's getting away with because of these presumptive fake things. | ||
| And that's not good. | ||
| Yeah, that's unfortunately kind of stunningly insightful and yet at the same time wrong. | ||
| And I don't know why Alex would want Trump to be invincible. | ||
| I don't think... | ||
| No, you want your elected leaders to have and face no consequences for their actions, Dan. | ||
| Even when there's real things that they're doing that are really bad. | ||
| That's what you want! | ||
| Cool. | ||
| I will say a lot of this episode has to do with Alex saying that the Chinese government is hacking his website, and I don't care. | ||
| I don't care if he was actually having some kind of a DDoS attack or something. | ||
| It's possible, but I don't believe it was the Chinese government or anything. | ||
| No, I doubt that. | ||
| He spends a lot of time on it. | ||
| Of course he does. | ||
| And I just didn't... | ||
| It was actually a scalar attack. | ||
| Could have been Steve. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| Anyway... | ||
| Roger was on and he was saying that he wants a fair election and the only possible fair election result is Trump winning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Now, Steve, his position is more... | ||
| I don't want a fair election. | ||
| I want Trump to take over. | ||
| And I will commit crimes in order to make sure that happens. | ||
| Let me put this again. | ||
| I've said it a couple of years ago on your show that the Clintons would never come back. | ||
| And I said that there was a coup at the time. | ||
| Let me put it again. | ||
| If there's any attempt by the Democrats to come in, legally or illegally, I can assure you and your audience that's not going to happen. | ||
| I'm not going to pronounce what I have to say because I'll have the FBI right at my door as I had last time when I criticized Obama. | ||
| But the bottom line is that there are many ways to make sure that the Democrats don't come to power. | ||
| The legal way, and there are other ways. | ||
| Trump understands pretty much what has to be done. | ||
| Jesus. | ||
| That is like... | ||
| I mean, okay, I guess that's fascism for you. | ||
| I mean, you're openly talking on this radio, supposedly news program. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think we should overthrow the country if I don't get what I want. | |
| Right. | ||
| Roger Stone is creating a scenario wherein only Trump winning is a fair election. | ||
| Everything else is by definition not fair and a fraudulent election. | ||
| Steve's saying that we have illegal means that we're going to use to make sure the Democrats can't ever come into power. | ||
| He's like, alright guys, can you please just stop fucking pretending? | ||
| Just say you're fascists and you want to make Trump king. | ||
| Fuck off. | ||
| Cut it out. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| Stop trying to... | ||
| And you're not even dancing around it at all! | ||
| No. | ||
| And it becomes so overt when Steve is on. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| He's just a straight-up fascist. | ||
| Fuck due process! | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| I don't give a shit! | ||
| I don't even want a fair election if Trump loses, isn't it? | ||
| This country, America, is not about freedom, it's about business. | ||
| We are a business... | ||
| Like, okay, alright. | ||
| Alex, you should hate this guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So I think the coronavirus, COVID-19... | ||
| And the challenges that we've all been faced with have taught us some lessons, I think. | ||
| Some of us. | ||
| Personally, I think I've learned a lot about the different struggles that people go through. | ||
| The various things that you don't consider because maybe it's not exactly your experience of the world that other people have. | ||
| Like people who are immunocompromised or have other conditions that put them at higher risk. | ||
| The fear and the danger, the interactions that you might be comfortable with, to them is a completely different... | ||
| It expands my horizon and my awareness a little in ways that I definitely wish I was more aware of before, but I'm glad I know now. | ||
| Secondly, it's also made me more aware of how much opportunity there is to help people. | ||
| You know, there's a lot of things that you can do even if you feel like there's nothing you can do. | ||
| And I appreciate those things a great deal. | ||
| It's also taught me that maybe my lifestyle prior to it was a little bit isolated and confining. | ||
| And maybe once things open up a little more, I should make a greater effort to not live as if I was in quarantine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Even when there's not a virus. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| There is that. | ||
| So there's some lessons, you know? | ||
| And I would say Steve has a different lesson. | ||
| The reality is coronavirus hit on a very interesting dynamic. | ||
| And that was, do we need cities? | ||
| And do we need cities that were really, in effect... | ||
| Obviously, the cities are obsolete and corrupt and a big problem. | ||
| Fuck cities! | ||
| I don't know what organizational system he's advocating. | ||
| Feudalism? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Even then, a castle's still kind of a city. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I don't know what kind of functional organizational structure he's looking for. | ||
| I sure as fuck don't want to find out. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| It's gonna be something weird. | ||
| It's not gonna be good for me, personally. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| You and I and everyone we've ever met will be fucked. | ||
| Fucked. | ||
| Thoroughly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| So Alex wants to talk to Steve about something really important, because this is September 10th, and the next day is 9-11. | ||
| In the time we have left, we had a little bit of 9-11. | ||
| Dr. Pacinic, he's welcome back tomorrow. | ||
| We want you to get into 9-11. | ||
| It's important to talk about what happened there and what went on. | ||
| Now that we've moved on past that group, I don't talk about it a lot because I don't want to demoralize people, but we've covered it ad nauseum. | ||
| It's important to remember what happened so it doesn't happen again and to know that Trump called in the day after it happened and said, yeah, they had bombs in the buildings. | ||
| They blew it up. | ||
| I mean, he can see what happens. | ||
| He's a good guy at the end of the day. | ||
| We're blessed to have him. | ||
| He deserves a Nobel Peace Prize that would bring credit back to that prize. | ||
| It's become a joke. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| That went some directions. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, when Obama got the Peace Prize, it became a joke. | ||
| That's Alex's point. | ||
| I would say that we've dealt with the group that did... | ||
| I thought it was the globalists. | ||
| I thought everything was the globalists. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| We got the group. | ||
| Alright, fine. | ||
| Let's not explore that at all. | ||
| Do not worry about those pages that were redacted. | ||
| Don't worry about that. | ||
| They do run out of time to talk about 9-11. | ||
| Oh, do they? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It seemed like Alex was very specifically avoiding the fact that he still thinks Bush did it. | ||
| I don't... | ||
| Or does he not still think Bush did it? | ||
| I don't know what he thinks, quite honestly. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| Anymore. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So, they run out of time, and they decide that they'll reconvene tomorrow on 9-11 to talk about... | ||
| 9-11. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Are they going to talk about what Trump said about how tall his building was? | ||
| No, probably not. | ||
| I don't think they will. | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| This made me laugh. | ||
| This was pretty funny. | ||
| Because Alex, much like at the beginning of Steve's interview, and he's trying to talk about Mattis and this coup, and Steve's like, fuck a coup, who gives a shit? | ||
| No big deal. | ||
| Alex is really making a meal out of how scary China is, and how, oh no, China! | ||
| Let me put the China issue in context. | ||
| Number one, we've confronted China in the South China Sea. | ||
| I wrote about that years ago. | ||
| Sure, you said it was coming in your book. | ||
| Right, in Pax Pacifica. | ||
| I'm not worried about China right now because China has a bigger problem in the United States, and that is Trump's personal friend Modi of India. | ||
| Because Modi of India will not tolerate Xi's... | ||
| Incursions into the Himalayas. | ||
| We put them in check with Modi. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| No, I agree. | ||
| Economically, we can defeat them. | ||
| You guys installed Modi? | ||
| What about the left's hatred of themselves and the country? | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| I've got to move along to that. | ||
| I've got to pivot over to another conversation because Steve just kind of deflated all of your fears about China. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A little bit. | |
| Apparently, they're in checkmate because of Modi. | ||
| See, here's the trick. | ||
| China's not worried about our fascist dictator. | ||
| They're worried about India's fascist dictator. | ||
| Done. | ||
| Yeah, so now Steve has diffused Alex's talking point about Mattis running a coup. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Now he's also diffused Alex's, I mean... | ||
| China's the most terrifying thing in the world thing. | ||
| I mean, that's Alex's almost entire reason to exist now. | ||
| You don't even need to worry about it. | ||
| No, because Modi. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ah, man. | |
| Great. | ||
| Mechanic. | ||
| Pachenik is a great one-off interview. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know what he is? | |
| Because everything that he says is reset at the... | ||
| He's like the sitcom where at the end of the sitcom we always get back to where we started. | ||
| He's the balloon popper. | ||
| Alex just brings him in and he's like, fuck your balloons. | ||
| Fuck your balloons. | ||
| I don't give a shit. | ||
| You spent a while inflating that thing? | ||
| Don't give a fuck! | ||
| And then he leaves and Alex is just back to normal. | ||
| You are right about the sitcom thing. | ||
| He just wrecks shop. | ||
| Yeah, it's like C-Lab 2021. | ||
| Every episode, the C-Lab explodes at the end, and then the next one, you're just like, everything's fine. | ||
| Let's just move on. | ||
| And this last clip is another example of it. | ||
| Alex keeps talking about how they're gonna, like, you know, try and keep Trump out of office, and they're gonna have all these machinations. | ||
| He's like, what do we do, Steve? | ||
| In the few minutes we have left, what do you predict their deuce ex or their ace in the hole could be? | ||
| A false flag? | ||
| I mean, I don't want to be overconfident. | ||
| What could this corrupt establishment do to make sure Trump doesn't get in? | ||
| They're not going to do anything. | ||
| What's their day of sex going to be? | ||
| Is it going to have a false flag? | ||
| What are they going to do? | ||
| Going to set off a nuke, blow up a power plant, throw Antifa at everybody? | ||
| They're not going to do shit! | ||
| Balloon popped. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's very good. | ||
| So, I mean, as we come to the end of this stretch of time, like, I mean, we see this continuing of Alex. | ||
| I'm not going to take the bait, but Alex is talking about his financial troubles. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| That's consistent. | ||
| The aggressive ad pitches. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Blasphemous, even. | ||
| Certainly getting more and more of those. | ||
| And more entertaining versions that I appreciate. | ||
| Turns out Stone doesn't like Bob Woodward. | ||
| What a shock. | ||
| For some reason, he just doesn't like him. | ||
| He thinks he's a liar. | ||
| No real talk about some of the issues that are the most important to a lot of people, like the fires in the West Coast. | ||
| Right. | ||
| No real conversation about the tapes that Woodward released. | ||
| Ooh, they're all lies. | ||
| You don't even need to talk about them, Dan. | ||
| Definitely don't play them. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So Alex then builds up his whole thing of his version of the Woodward story based on a Zero Hedge article. | ||
| Has Roger Stone come in and just say Woodward's an asshole? | ||
| And then Steve deflights all of his narratives. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's just weird. | ||
| It's very weird. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| It gets stuck in my craw, but it's deus ex. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| Not deus ex. | ||
| I know. | ||
| It's just deus ex. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anyways. | ||
| It's frustrating. | ||
| Where were you? | ||
| I mean, we were texting earlier and I was telling you we might have to record a little bit late because I've got to get as current of an episode as possible. | ||
| I want to see what the Woodward fallout is. | ||
| And your text was, it's going to be disappointing. | ||
| And I was like, yeah, probably. | ||
| And it is. | ||
| It is a little disappointing. | ||
| Except for the fact that... | ||
| You know, we got this Woodward story. | ||
| I'm calling in Roger and Steve. | ||
| It's like, alright. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's good. | |
| I do love a pachanic appearance. | ||
| I do. | ||
| He's the Carrie Cassidy of this show. | ||
| When he's grumpy, or when he's just like, oh, fuck yourself, then he's great. | ||
| But when he's a little sleepy or just not trying... | ||
| It's so boring. | ||
| Yeah, and the inserted unnecessary racism is always an issue. | ||
| Holy shit. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Points out, everybody who's Jewish. | ||
| Jesus, man. | ||
| That's just too much. | ||
| That's just too much. | ||
| Calm it down. | ||
| Even for us on Infowars. | ||
| I feel like we probably should have maybe... | ||
| Discuss that. | ||
| But the reason that I don't generally is because we talk about it a bit. | ||
| Steve does it all the time. | ||
| Every time he's on, it's a casual... | ||
| But I'm glad that you called it out. | ||
| It's a tick. | ||
| It's like he can't stop himself from being the most racist person that you can think of. | ||
| Quite. | ||
| It's awful. | ||
| So, to get this taste out of our mouth, let's take some calls. | ||
| That sounds great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, Dan. | |
| Hey, Jordan. | ||
| This is Policy Monk Charlotte from Washington, D.C. And I wanted to float an idea past you guys. | ||
| I have a theory that this could... | ||
| Prove to add just a little bit more lighter fluid to the tire fire that is 2020. | ||
| But do we know anybody in Joe Biden's camp so that we can add a pillar to his platform, which would argue that, as president, he will force Twitter and Facebook to reinstate Alex Jones? | ||
| Something to think about. | ||
| Anyway, thanks, boys. | ||
| Really appreciate the podcast. | ||
| Y 'all take care. | ||
| I think that's a great idea. | ||
| That's a heel turn. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I would love to see this. | ||
| Here's why. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Presidents don't have to follow through on their promises. | ||
| That's 100% true. | ||
| In fact, I would argue most of them never do. | ||
| So Biden could fleece Alex by insisting that he was going to get him back on Twitter. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Just to see if that would make Alex work. | ||
| Would it work? | ||
| Yeah, I wonder. | ||
| That would be a good question. | ||
| Yeah, I could see him softening a little bit. | ||
| You think so? | ||
| Alex, maybe? | ||
| All right. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| That's what you do to broaden up your base. | ||
| You know, you invite Alex back on Twitter. | ||
| You don't need to follow through with it. | ||
| You don't even have to have any intention of doing it. | ||
| Just say that it's a big part of your plan. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hi, Dan and Jordan. | |
| This is Matt in Washington. | ||
| I just wanted to call to say you've helped me process losing my parents to Trump, and it means a lot to me. | ||
| I'm also sure I'm not the only listener with this issue, so shout-out to everybody going through this. | ||
| My parents used to be run-of-the-mill conservative Christians, but 2016 opened them to the wide world of conspiracy theory, which completely pushed me away from them. | ||
| I found your show through Robert Evans, and both his shows and yours have helped me to understand what the hell my parents are caught up in. | ||
| At first I thought I could use your show to help them somehow, but I now appreciate that not many people let their kids change their minds. | ||
| The work you do is so, so important, though, and I hope we see more shows like yours in the future that deconstruct conspiracy narratives. | ||
| So thank you guys so much. | ||
| You are both awesome, and your ice cubes are very juicy. | ||
| I'm uncomfortable with how positive that call is and how complimentary it is, but I wanted to play it because there's a lot of people who are probably in similar situations. | ||
| Fuck, I am. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And, you know, I wanted to extend our thoughts. | ||
| Condolences, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, and people who are listening who might, you know, be able to empathize with what the caller was saying. | ||
| We can all absolutely commiserate with, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, you're not alone out there, people. | ||
| So, next. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hi! | |
| I wanted to say that I love the show. | ||
| Also, I just wanted to take a moment to say hello to Selene. | ||
| I hope that she's having a good time. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| This is Gabby, by the way. | ||
| Hey, Gabby. | ||
| Not enough people giving Selene a shout-out. | ||
| It was nice to hear that she was thinking of Selene. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Now is as good a time as any for a Selene update. | ||
| Oh, that's a good idea. | ||
| I have murdered my cat. | ||
| You murdered her? | ||
| No, I didn't. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| She's on thin ice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That'd be a weird way to admit to it. | |
| I've murdered her with love. | ||
| What's your bright spot today? | ||
| Well, have I got a doozy for you? | ||
| No, I'm just a little bit, you know, as I've gotten more into this home gardening thing, it's tough to balance. | ||
| Do you think you've been neglecting her a little bit? | ||
| No, I've been paying her a good amount of attention. | ||
| It's hard to balance having a cat in the home and also pots of plants around. | ||
| You have to find a way to make sure that... | ||
| Because if you look over there, my greens are stamped all over them. | ||
| Yeah, I see that now. | ||
| Basically, what I've had to do is I've had to try and find a way... | ||
| To most of the plants are here in the office. | ||
| And so basically I just can't have her in the office when I'm not in here. | ||
| And it's not a perfect system because obviously she can still, if I'm not paying attention, she can still get up there. | ||
| She ate two of my plants. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| And a couple times I've just gone to the bathroom and I've come back and she's knocked over a... | ||
| Pot from the side. | ||
| And then just is looking at me like, what? | ||
| She's a cat. | ||
| She's doing cat shit. | ||
| Yeah, I know. | ||
| It's not her fault. | ||
| I know she's not being malicious, but like... | ||
| No, she is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's cat shit. | |
| Cats are malicious. | ||
| You know, it's tough to balance, but from what I can tell, she's having fun doing it. | ||
| So, in terms of Gabby's question, if she's doing good and having fun... | ||
| Yes, once again, cats have fun by torturing you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, guys. | |
| This is Scott in Austin, Texas. | ||
| And I heard your broadcast the other day about Alex Jones and his protest at Barton Springs where he claimed he had 200 people protesting. | ||
| I actually work in Barton Springs and got down to see the protest about an hour or so after it started. | ||
| Did not see 200 of his followers. | ||
| Maybe... | ||
| 40 or 50. There were about 200 people at the Springs, but they were already there of their own volition. | ||
| But of course, you know, he likes to claim false numbers. | ||
| And also, happy ending. | ||
| Some citizen called the cops on them because they were harassing people with megaphones. | ||
| And shortly after that, it got really quiet. | ||
| Love the show. | ||
| Keep up the good work. | ||
| This is fake news. | ||
| Fake news. | ||
| I had nothing but a great time at Barton Springs. | ||
| We had a food truck. | ||
| Everything was great. | ||
| Dan's right. | ||
| Alright, well, I appreciate the first-hand report there from Barton Springs. | ||
| Of course he added other people who were just hanging out. | ||
| Into the totals. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Also, I'm sure that it was a globalist who said that Alex was harassing, because you can't harass somebody with a little baby bullhorn. | ||
| You cannot. | ||
| It's against the reality. | ||
| It's not possible. | ||
| Also, I have been trying to use tyranny slapper to annoy Celine, and it has not been working. | ||
| She is unfazed by the baby bullhorn. | ||
| Of course she is. | ||
| Oh, well. | ||
| Even she finds it hilarious. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Globalist Amy here. | |
| I'm a huge fan. | ||
| I love your work. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Seeing a new episode drop is also in one of my bright spots of the day, so I really appreciate and thank you so much for keeping me laughing and all of us laughing during these super, super shit times. | |
| I also really wanted to add my voice to the Australian contingent and say it's pronounced Quokka. | ||
| But what I really wanted to ask is I'm getting my cat Pluto, a new kitty friend. | ||
| We're adopting a new cat. | ||
| And I would really love your suggestions on what their name should be. | ||
| Thank you so much again. | ||
| Stay safe. | ||
| And again, Quarka. | ||
| Thanks, guys. | ||
| Bye. | ||
| I'm at war with Australia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Quokka. | |
| It's just over for us. | ||
| We've just lost. | ||
| We've just lost. | ||
| Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize because on our last episode, I believe, I referred to Australia as an island. | ||
| And I don't think that they're going... | ||
| Technically! | ||
| If we're getting this kind of blowback for Quokka, I don't think anyone's going to take kindly to that. | ||
| So, before we get a flood of Australian calls, I apologize for... | ||
| It's like Pluto. | ||
| Australia's been downgraded from continent to island. | ||
| I'm wholehearted in my apology. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That's fun. | ||
| Cat name. | ||
| I mean, obviously. | ||
| Duncan Idaho, my friend. | ||
| Dune's coming. | ||
| You got the Dune trailer. | ||
| Dune's around the corner. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Duncan Idaho. | ||
| Duncan Idaho. | ||
| I would say Daryl Rundis. | ||
| Daryl Rundis is a good one, too. | ||
| It's not a good cat name. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not a good cat name, but you can live with it. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I was trying to think of funny Infowars names. | ||
| Daryl Rundis. | ||
| Daryl Rundis is gonna stick with... | ||
| I can see Leo Katgami. | ||
| Leo Katgami? | ||
| Leo Katgami. | ||
| No, that doesn't work. | ||
| No, that's not... | ||
| Yeah, but you can just call it Leo. | ||
| True. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| Who else? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ooh! | |
| Just go with feline Contessa. | ||
| That's not a name. | ||
| Contessa. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cat... | |
| Tessa? | ||
| I don't know why I'm doing portmanteaus with cat in the name. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I don't either. | |
| Like, you're not gonna name your cat cat something. | ||
| No. | ||
| Rob Mew? | ||
| That doesn't work. | ||
| No, that's a bad pun. | ||
| If I got another cat, I might name it... | ||
| Rob Mew? | ||
| I might name it Buckley. | ||
| That's actually a pretty good cat name. | ||
| Yeah, Buckley's a pretty fun name. | ||
| Buckley is a fun name! | ||
| I like a good Buckley. | ||
| I don't like a bad Buckley. | ||
| I don't know if I have any good ideas, but I wish you the best in your new pet friend adventure. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| And the naming thereof. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, is this the cat, guys? | |
| Dan Jordan, huge fan. | ||
| Uli down here in Springfield, Missouri. | ||
| Just wanted to say thank you so much for calling out Springfield. | ||
| I'm a transplant. | ||
| There are good people, even in these weird bastions of conservative ethics, we could call it. | ||
| Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for the show that you do. | ||
| I have lagged severely on my own podcast because I'm too busy catching all of your episodes. | ||
| And if you ever come down to Springfield, Missouri... | ||
| You know you got a place to have some beers at our brewery, 4x4 Brewing, and we'll catch you later. | ||
| Thanks a lot, guys. | ||
| You're awesome. | ||
| Shout out to these shit-on cities in the all over, all the places that people look down on. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Shout out. | ||
| And shout out to 4x4 Brewing. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Not sponsored, but give them a look. | ||
| It's a wonk brewery. | ||
| Yeah, I'm definitely going to a wonk brewery if I'm in Springfield. | ||
| When are you ever going to be in Springfield? | ||
| Ah, you never know. | ||
| I was in Springfield. | ||
| Maybe we'll have to escape from cities because they're obsolete now. | ||
| Well, Springfield's still a city. | ||
| Not a Chicago city. | ||
| It's a township, right? | ||
| Come on now. | ||
| I was in Springfield maybe five years ago. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think, probably. | ||
| How was it? | ||
| It was fun. | ||
| I went to do a show with friends, Dan Sheehan. | ||
| And Tyler Snodgrass. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| Great guys. | ||
| Yeah, I went down to... | ||
| I don't remember the name of the place. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Yakov showed up. | ||
| Yakov showed up? | ||
| Yeah, Yakov. | ||
| You got a little Yakov? | ||
| He and Tyler Snodgrass are friends. | ||
| And so Yakov Smirnoff showed up. | ||
| And I did not say hi to him. | ||
| Oh, come on! | ||
| In our country, we say hi to you, Dan. | ||
| I told this story before, I think, but he was being bum-rushed by tons of people who were wanting an autograph and stuff, and I just felt like it would be shitty. | ||
| But I gave him a look from across the room, and I think he got it. | ||
| A little pregnant hello look. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, guys. | |
| I just have so much stuff I've got to get to that I don't know if I can cover it all on this phone call, so I'm not going to get to any of it. | ||
| But I did want to say, Jordan, that you had mentioned recording an audiobook for your book, The Quiet Part Loud. | ||
| And I was going to say I really appreciate the audio format. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| People appreciate the audio format. | ||
| I'm working on it. | ||
| I'm working on it. | ||
| It's a process. | ||
| It is very hard. | ||
| It's very hard. | ||
| There are a lot of choices that I didn't realize that I was going to have to make because of the way I write dialogue and how it's impossible to kind of keep track of. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| It's hard. | ||
| It is hard. | ||
| It's very hard. | ||
| But I'm working on it. | ||
| It's happening. | ||
| It will happen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's good. | |
| It will. | ||
| I promise you. | ||
| That's good for the people to know. | ||

Hi, Dan and Jordan. | |
| This is Bob Hartzell from St. Louis. | ||
| I sent you some posters a couple months ago. | ||
| First off, I want to say, do not accidentally dial 1-800 for TAT guys. | ||
| That is not the right number. | ||
| And number two, Dan, you mentioned your brother and the art he does and how proud you are of him, and that reminded me that my brother, who was always an engineer when we were kids, has gone on to make a clinical strip called Middle Age Riot. | ||
| Instagram and Facebook, and I think you would really enjoy it. | ||
| I'm really proud of the work he's done on that. | ||
| I also wanted to thank you for the shout-out earlier in the summer. | ||
| It's been a rough summer, and that really helped make it. | ||
| Keep up the good work. | ||
| Talk to you later. | ||
| Thank you, Bob. | ||

Thanks, Bob. | |
| If you notice, look around. | ||

Yeah. | |
| Pretty cool. | ||
| Yeah, very good. | ||
| I went and checked out this middle-aged riot. | ||
| Some fun jokes there. | ||
| Good jokes. | ||
| I didn't have time to look through a whole ton of it. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yeah, it looks really awesome. | ||
| I'll check it out. | ||
| Everybody's getting free rides today. | ||

It does seem like we're not sponsored, but it seems like we're doing a lot of sponsored content. | |
| I don't actually mind that so much, the idea that people call in and say some cool project. | ||
| Or something that maybe people could take a look at. | ||
| If you call in and say that you're really happy with your bank and you really love Chase Bank, then you're not going to get on the show. | ||
| Yeah, probably not. | ||
| Not going to happen. | ||
| I mean, eventually we will have to figure out a line in terms of that, but I think we're on the right side of it for now. | ||
| So far, yeah. | ||
| Well, thank you all for the calls. | ||
| Thank you all for listening. | ||
| We will be back. | ||
| Next time. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| Yep. | ||
