I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys, saying we are the bad guys. | |

It's time to pray. | |
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||

| Hello, Alex. | ||

Knowledge Fight. | |
| KnowledgeFight.com I love you. | ||
| Hey, everybody! | ||
| Welcome back to Fight Knowledge. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| Hey, and this is a podcast where I like to get together with my friends and we drink familiar beverages and talk about anybody but Alex Jones. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That wasn't too bad, right? | ||
| No, that was pretty alright. | ||
| That was pretty alright. | ||
| That is the inverse of what our show is. | ||
| I would hope so. | ||
| We drink standard-ass beverages. | ||
| Water! | ||
| Nothing but water! | ||
| Tap. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Room temperature tap water only. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| No novelty to it. | ||
| And talk of Alex Jones is forbidden. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That's how we do it. | ||
| Although it's not entirely. | ||
| I'm sure he'll come up in some form or another. | ||
| That sounds right. | ||
| Yeah, so Jordan, congratulations. | ||
| You've taken the wheel as we have branded these episodes. | ||
| It is the fifth time. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And I think that there's a lot of people who are probably thinking like, hey, wasn't there just an election? | ||
| What the hell's going on? | ||
| Shouldn't they be talking entirely about that whole thing? | ||
| And to address that up front, I want to say that, you know, it's that whole zig-zag thing. | ||
| You know, when you think they're going to zig, you get a zag. | ||
| That's when we got a zag. | ||
| Yeah, that kind of thing. | ||
| And when you think we're going to zag? | ||
| That's when you zag. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I think that everybody would expect to talk about Alex and the election here on this Friday. | ||
| Sure, of course. | ||
| That's why you gotta go the entire other direction. | ||
| No, the reality is that... | ||
| I realize that this is episode 499. | ||
| So on Monday we'll be putting out episode 500. | ||
| 500? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And I thought it was only... | ||
| Canonically 500. | ||
| I thought it was only appropriate spiritually that our podcast was born essentially out of... | ||
| The election night on Infowars 2016. | ||
| And it only kind of makes some sense that we would have episode 500 be this election. | ||
| It would be the... | ||
| It almost feels like we would be ruining some kind of a symbolic meaning if we did it today. | ||
| No, it feels like we should both be... | ||
| Like a bomb should land on us the moment after we put out the 500th episode. | ||
| I'm trying to imagine what other people do who know what they're doing. | ||
| And it seems like that's what they would do. | ||
| And they figure out what they're doing well before 500 episodes. | ||
| Yeah, probably. | ||
| A lot of people are like, we just did 50 episodes, guys. | ||
| Let's all congratulate ourselves. | ||
| Let's retire. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| We did it. | ||
| So yeah, that will be on Monday. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| And I thought it would be fun also to have, you know, like, it's going to be 500 episodes. | ||
| Now we'll have the fifth one that you've taken over. | ||
| And I feel like that's appropriate. | ||
| A 100% accurate. | ||
| Idea of our division of labor, I think, in general. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Over the 500 episodes. | ||
| I would say you have done 495% of the work. | ||
| It's possible. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Oh, wait, I don't know how math works. | ||
| Nah, me neither. | ||
| So, yeah, also another factor is that we're recording this at a time when, I mean, the election stuff is still... | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not over. | |
| No, it's still a little bit hazy, a little bit... | ||
| Unclear. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Up in the air? | |
| Yeah, and I think other people probably have a lot of better information as a source than us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure, sure. | |
| And I don't want to add to any confusion or risk getting something wrong in the middle of this. | ||
| Some sort of middle ground, unclear kind of thing. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I feel like we could just do a much better job for 500. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I absolutely agree. | ||
| So, Jordan, with that said... | ||
| Take the wheel. | ||
| Take the wheel, Dan! | ||
| How are you? | ||
| I'm doing all right. | ||
| Wait, wait. | ||
| Do you have a bright spot? | ||
| Do you have a dark spot? | ||
| Hey, how about... | ||
| Ooh, that's dangerous. | ||
| Yeah, let's not do that. | ||
| That's a dangerous thing. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I refuse to do that. | ||
| I do have a bright spot. | ||
| I have a very simple and obvious bright spot. | ||
| I'm sure not everybody has seen it or listened to it yet, but we put out a bonus episode where you did incredibly thoughtful and incredibly nice things for me. | ||
| And it was a genuine and beautiful thing, and it really changed my day and, you know, the future. | ||
| Well, it's my job to negate that and also say, you're welcome. | ||
| Yeah, thank you very much. | ||
| And how about you? | ||
| My bright spot is a little less sentimental, probably, but things are going well with the worms. | ||
| Things are going well with the worms. | ||
| The worm farm is going much better than I thought it would be. | ||
| And I actually got a little mini chopper to chop up food remains to make it smaller just for the worms. | ||
| I thought to chop up the worms to double the amount of worms, right? | ||
| That's how they work. | ||
| You cut them in half, and then you've got two worms. | ||
| I think that's in... | ||
| I don't think that you can reliably do that. | ||
| No, never ending. | ||
| I just think you chop up the food a little small and then they reproduce. | ||
| They'll breed and then you'll have a large worm colony. | ||
| Oh, indeed. | ||
| And then I'll take over the world. | ||
| Me and my worms. | ||
| King of the worms? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| So that's kind of what is getting me through right now a little bit. | ||
| These nice worms. | ||
| It's exciting. | ||
| It's exciting. | ||
| I'm not... | ||
| I'm not shitting on that. | ||
| I'm just saying that's an unusual thing to be like... | ||
| That's what's really getting me through. | ||
| Well, I mean, 2020 is a pretty weird year. | ||
| It is a pretty weird year. | ||
| I think we're all learning a lot about some strange, maybe, hobbies or interests. | ||
| And I think that's okay. | ||
| That's definitely true. | ||
| Yeah, I think any time you have a lot of people who are forced into closer quarters, some things will go viral in terms of hobbies. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Everyone got into sourdough. | ||
| Yeah, totally. | ||
| Huge, huge. | ||
| And then sometimes there are things that are a little bit less universal. | ||
| I think worms are pretty cool. | ||
| They are pretty cool. | ||
| So, anyway. | ||
| Put them in bread. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Bake them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do it. | |
| That sounds right. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Well, Dan, today, the episode that I have prepared for you is personal. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| It is two days before the election. | ||
| My uncle decided to text me a clip. | ||
| From the interwebs. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All about how it was titled, The Real Reason They Want You to Hate Donald Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ooh. | |
| Now, look. | ||
| They send that shit to each other. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I've always known that. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That goes around in the email chains. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| My family believes in all that bullshit. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Go for it. | ||
| Don't send it to me. | ||
| Seems like a mistake. | ||
| I wanted to reach through my phone and slap him. | ||
| And while I was thinking about reaching through my phone and slapping him, I realized that we do a show. | ||
| And that's maybe the best way to reach through your phone and slap someone, right? | ||
| I think, yeah. | ||
| In many ways, it's the equivalent. | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| This is a digital slap. | ||
| He sends me a text of like a six-minute video, and I do an hour and a half explaining why he's wrong about everything. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I like it, right? | ||
| Slightly passive-aggressive, possibly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, no. | |
| Aggressive-aggressive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Very aggressive. | ||
| All right. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So that's what we are going to talk about. | ||
| The same person also did a video just yesterday. | ||
| A long little video about how the hard right feels right now. | ||
| So we're going to add a little bit of that into it as well. | ||
| I would say that even after the election, his argument about why people want you to hate Trump should still stand up. | ||
| Oh, well, it would if it were real. | ||
| I mean, I think we'll get to the bottom of that being not the case. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Before we get to that, is there something else you need to do? | ||
| I was going to say thank you to some of our Patreons. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I was about to get to that. | ||
| I was worried. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I was going to do the whole, but first we have to do, I was very excited because I was thinking about it while you were talking and I was like, he's going to be blown away that I remembered to do this. | ||
| Well, I still am, even though I stepped on it. | ||
| Yeah, well, that's fair. | ||
| All right, go for it. | ||
| Anyways, first. | ||
| Effie Ophelders, you are now a policy wonk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm a policy wonk. | |
| Thank you, Effie. | ||
| Thank you, Effie. | ||
| Second, we got Mike O. You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk! | ||
| Or is that Mike D? | ||
| That's a no. | ||
| Your handwriting is... | ||
| It leaves something to be desired. | ||
| Yeah, my handwriting has never been... | ||
| No one has ever accused me of getting an A in calligraphy. | ||
| No, that's true. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Well, some people did, but they were conspiracy theorists. | ||
| Next! | ||
| Adam B., you are now a policy wonk! | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm a policy wonk! | |
| That's actually Adam 8. Gah! | ||
| My handwriting's terrible. | ||
| No, it's Adam B. Thank you so much. | ||
| Thank you very much, Adam. | ||
| Next, we have Elizabeth W. You are now a policy wonk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm a policy wonk. | |
| Former presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren. | ||
| Elizabeth Warren, I would hope that you would donate more than a dollar. | ||
| Next, we have Jason C. You are now a policy wonk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm a policy wonk. | |
| Thank you, Jason. | ||
| Thank you, Jason. | ||
| Next, we have Lieutenant Wiggles. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm a policy wonk. | |
| And finally, we have Thomas K. You are now a policy wonk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm a policy wonk. | |
| Thank you very much, Thomas. | ||
| Thank you, Lieutenant Wiggles. | ||
| I slept on saying thank you after the soundbite. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And if you feel very, very excited and very generous and you would like to donate to our show, please go ahead and go to our Patreon page. | ||
| We'd be very happy if you did that. | ||
| Or what you could do is you could take that generosity that you feel, right? | ||
| And you can put it in a little box in your living room with a little bit of pumice and some coconut coir. | ||
| And chop up little foods to feed that generosity. | ||
| And chop that generosity in half. | ||
| And now it's two generosities. | ||
| Chop those in half. | ||
| Four generosities. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| And give those generosity worms to a charity in your area. | ||
| You fucking show off. | ||
| I was going to interrupt you and ruin it like 30 times. | ||
| And then I was like, you know what? | ||
| Let's see how this plays out. | ||
| Wrong move. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wrong move. | ||
| I'm too good. | ||
| You clearly showed off. | ||
| I am a failure? | ||
| End the episode now. | ||
| There's no reason. | ||
| Let's go back to 500 episodes of you. | ||
| Episode 500, I'm going to be replacing you, Jordan. | ||
| With... | ||
|
unidentified
|
You? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| I was trying to think of someone insulting, and all I could come up with... | ||
| I don't know why, but the person I came up with was Johnny Fairplay from Survivor. | ||
| I think it was because I saw his face on Cameo when I was scrolling through. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I will not be replacing you with Johnny Fairplay. | ||
| But yeah, I'll give generosity to a bail fund or charity in your area that's helping people in need. | ||
| That would be great. | ||
| That would be fantastic. | ||
| Now, Dan. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| We are going to talk about one fellow named Michael J. Matt. | ||
| Have you ever heard of him? | ||
| The name doesn't ring a bell. | ||
| M-A-T-T-E? | ||
| No, just M-A-T-T. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I don't know, but... | ||
| People whose last names are a first name. | ||
| Firsty Firsties? | ||
| Yeah, I don't know about that. | ||
| Except for any of our listeners who that's the case. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You didn't choose that. | |
| It's not your fault. | ||
| Michael Matt is tough. | ||
| That would be hard. | ||
| But I mean, I guess he probably had to live with it his whole life. | ||
| His whole life. | ||
| You know, a lot of kids would probably be cruel. | ||
| I will tell you this. | ||
| I very much doubt that he interacted with too many kids outside of his sphere, if you will. | ||
| That would be a surprise to me. | ||
| Anyways, Michael J. Matz is the editor-in-chief of the, I believe it's called The Remnant. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| So now we're getting into some Christian identity stuff. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| It's a far-right Catholic newspaper. | ||
| And the video that my uncle sent me was about the Davos Foundation and the World Economic Forum. | ||
| And he goes into this nonsense about how COVID is... | ||
| It's all about how they're trying to do the Great Reset. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And he's doing the conspiracy theories about that. | ||
| And I didn't want to rehash all of that stuff, because that was the main thrust of the little clip that he sent me. | ||
| And we talked about that entire document, that internet presentation that you can find on their website already. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it doesn't seem that nefarious. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It's pretty much normal. | ||
| And very reasonable. | ||
| But... | ||
| What I found out in looking into this clip was that it was not the entire thing. | ||
| Michael J. Matt does a, like, weekly or bi-weekly show or whatever it is where he talks for about a half hour about whatever bullshit he wants to ramble on about. | ||
| And whenever I went through and actually watched the full clip, it was clear that they had edited the entire 20 minutes. | ||
| Down to the parts where he talked about Davos. | ||
| And there's a whole bunch more in there. | ||
| So I wanted to talk about why my uncle sent me this dumb clip without all of the other problematic nonsense. | ||
| And he didn't look into whether or not there was problematic nonsense going on. | ||
| Okay, so your position is they sanitized this. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Yeah, that's interesting, and I think this is actually something that probably is maybe something we should do a little bit more of on the show. | ||
| I'm excited that you came up with this idea, because there is something to these kinds of things that get sent around to people. | ||
| A lot of times, I mean, maybe... | ||
| I hate to say that you're lucky your uncle sent this to you, but in some ways, I don't know how you'd ever see it otherwise. | ||
| Yeah, we're not in those little groups. | ||
| And I think a lot of people are affected by those things. | ||
| And, you know, having a little bit of analysis of that might be something really productive for us in episode 500 plus. | ||
| I don't think that's a bad idea. | ||
| And we're about to get into that, but first, let's hear a little out of context drop, Dan. | ||
| Get ready to bleep this in advance. | ||
| Fuck Michael Bloomberg! | ||
| Oh wait, that's not the right one? | ||
| That's a different one. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Biden is not a serious candidate. | ||
| We can all agree on that, right? | ||
| He's not serious. | ||
| Not very serious. | ||
| I enjoy... | ||
| Too much malarkey! | ||
| I'm just leaving that in there for posterity. | ||
| I just enjoy having that little thing right there. | ||
| That was from the August 6th clip that my uncle sent me. | ||
| And just having that little piece in there, knowing what we know today, is very... | ||
| It warms my heart just a little bit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And I think that this is, again, I think we talk about this every now and again. | ||
| It's like the pro-wrestling strategy of building up your opponent while insulting them is important. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because then if you win or lose, you can still look good in victory or defeat. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| If the person you're against is not a serious candidate and it doesn't matter and all this shit, it doesn't really matter if you win. | ||
| And if you lose, it's very sad. | ||
| It's real bad. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And he's spent a long time. | ||
| And what's interesting about this guy is he is a far-right Catholic. | ||
| And he absolutely hates Joe Biden for being Catholic. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But not the right kind of Catholic. | ||
| Is he a Vatican II guy? | ||
| No. | ||
| He's very much a not-Vatican II guy. | ||
| That's what I mean when I say that. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| No, that's super... | ||
| And that's where his whole thing comes from. | ||
| It all originates from the schism that happened because of the Vatican II. | ||
| Because that Pope said that the Jews weren't evil? | ||
| You got it, Dan! | ||
| You fully understand where it comes from. | ||
| We have run into a few of these cats on this show in the past. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| So, the first thing in the clip that my... | ||
| Uncle sent me. | ||
| I start there. | ||
| And that six minutes is cut from, you know, the overall 25 minutes little bits here and there. | ||
| Is it a presentation in front of people or is it a video he's recording for like a live stream or something? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Straight into the camera. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Straight into the camera, recorded video. | ||
| Almost like sort of a little vlog? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Almost exactly like that. | ||
| So he just opens up in this clip with... | ||
| Well, you might guess it if you're talking about Davos. | ||
| Well, almost everyone. | ||
| There's one guy who's got the power to do something to stop, and you know exactly where I'm going. | ||
| And they made a mistake. | ||
| They tried to get Trump on their side, so they invited Donald Trump to Davos, I think a couple of times. | ||
| But in January, when Donald Trump, I think, really began to see the beast that he was up against, he went to Davos, to the World Economic Forum, and he stuck a mega finger in their eye. | ||
| Mega finger. | ||
| A mega finger. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Which seems like a terrible... | ||
| Like, you could have tossed MAGA finger in there so easily. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| Yeah, they could have. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Also, it makes me think of Dane Cook. | ||
| Didn't he have a mega finger or super finger or something? | ||
| I just remember him doing the, like... | ||
| He got so many laughs from doing the, like, alien... | ||
| That was it. | ||
| That was his whole bit. | ||
| That's what I remember from Dane Cook. | ||
| I don't remember that bit. | ||
| I seem to recall some kind of an elevated version of a middle finger. | ||
| And mega finger makes me think of that. | ||
| And I don't like either. | ||
| Well, that's his basic idea. | ||
| He's upsetting the boat. | ||
| He's tossing the money changers out of Davos. | ||
| The reality is not that they asked him to go. | ||
| He's been twice... | ||
| The first time he went was in 2018. | ||
| And it was his fucking idea! | ||
| Of course. | ||
| He just wanted to go to the globalist headquarters and be like... | ||
| Didn't I kick 2017's ass? | ||
| Look at all you dum-dums going around there. | ||
| They did not invite him to trick him into any kind of evil. | ||
| They didn't invite him to be like, when we're having this conversation, I'll secretly be like, hey, globalism? | ||
| Yeah, we'll get you. | ||
| Yeah, I'll tickle your balls a little bit, globalists. | ||
| You know, that kind of thing. | ||
| And so it was absolutely no one trying to get on his side. | ||
| And then as far as the way that his speech was received... | ||
| Steve Howard, co-chair of the We Mean Business Coalition, told Financial Times that 20 or 30% applauded at the end of Trump's speech. | ||
| That's not bad. | ||
| To be fair. | ||
|
unidentified
|
For him? | |
| At Davos? | ||
| Yeah, that's not bad. | ||
| Getting 20 is alright. | ||
| I know. | ||
| He said a lot of evil shit, and I feel like at least 40% of them would be on board. | ||
| Well, perhaps. | ||
| Perhaps. | ||
| I think it is really interesting that you had these people who have forever demonized any kind of... | ||
| World governance or governing bodies, the UN, the EU, Davos, a particular World Economic Forum. | ||
| So whenever Trump went, it was appearing to be... | ||
| Engaging in that process. | ||
| There had to be such an explanation for it. | ||
| There had to be like, he's going there to take them all down from the inside. | ||
| That's always fun. | ||
| I think one of the weirder parts about it is he kind of did exactly what they wanted him to do, but they have to explain it in a way that they invited him to trick him into doing the opposite of... | ||
| There needs to be more of a story. | ||
| Yeah, they can't be like, my guy went to Davos and was like, fuck you! | ||
| I don't know why they wouldn't enjoy that, too. | ||
| He's just a dick! | ||
| They love the fact that he's a dick! | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Just accept it. | ||
| So yeah, he's sticking the finger in the eye of Davos. | ||
| And this is, of course, when we get into COVID. | ||
| Oh, do we? | ||
| So let's play it. | ||
| And shortly after the speech at the UN, Donald Trump delivered. | ||
| What do you think happened? | ||
| The coronavirus was unleashed on the world, and Trump's booming U.S. economy went on life support. | ||
| Do you think that was an accident? | ||
| I'm guessing he doesn't. | ||
| Ah, he does not say. | ||
| Oh, there's that pause there? | ||
| You got it. | ||
| That silence speaks volumes. | ||
| After listening to several of these episodes, I've decided... | ||
| I think it's called, like, The Remnant Hour or something stupid like that. | ||
| I've decided to call it Michael J. Matt and the Rhetorical Questions. | ||
| Just a lot of, like, leading questions? | ||
| Non-stop, like, does that sound right? | ||
| Do you think that? | ||
| Do you think that? | ||
| That is such a soft strategy. | ||
| That is very weak. | ||
| You see it around. | ||
| Oh, totally. | ||
| Could it possibly be? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Just make a conclusion and stand by it. | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| Don't play this game. | ||
| I will tell you something, though, and this is what I found out in my research. | ||
| Do you know what else happened on the same day that Trump gave that speech? | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Let me see if I can guess. | ||
| The first trailer for Tenet came out. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| I believe that was already out in like 2018. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I feel like I've seen a lot of commercials for it. | ||
| No, Dan? | ||
| What? | ||
| Tony Shalhoub won an Emmy over Steven Root. | ||
| Hell yeah. | ||
| And that is why we have COVID. | ||
| I can tell you that right now. | ||
| What happened after that? | ||
| COVID hit. | ||
| Do you think that was an accident, Dan? | ||
| This is tough for me because I like both of those guys. | ||
| I like Steven Root and I like Shalhoub. | ||
| Shalhoub for Marvelous Mrs. Maisel over Steven Root for anything? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Come on, man. | |
| I don't know, man. | ||
| Shalhoub. | ||
| He's a monk. | ||
| Has Steven Root ever won an Emmy? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| See, how many does he deserve? | ||
| At least one. | ||
| At least one. | ||
| Yeah, he's done a lot of good work in his career. | ||
| He's done amazing work. | ||
| Yeah, that's tough. | ||
| Wait, he wasn't nominated for Man in the High Castle, was he? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I think it was Barry. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| That makes more sense. | ||
| It does. | ||
| Yeah, that Emmy decision was probably what did it. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| Yeah, that's what unleashed COVID. | ||
| They got it wrong! | ||
| I think that's just what happened. | ||
| That's silly. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| So, do you think that was an accident, though, Dan? | ||
| Well, yeah. | ||
| I mean, wait, what? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| What? | ||
| Was what an accident? | ||
| Any of it. | ||
| No? | ||
| No? | ||
| It's such a bullshit cop-out. | ||
| I hate that nonsense. | ||
| Especially for people who purport to be like, I'm the mouthpiece of fucking God. | ||
| But I don't have the balls to even say what I want to say. | ||
| Well, I think that's a behavior that you see out of a lot of people who don't want to be nailed down to specific things. | ||
| Because if they do, then they have to own it. | ||
| They have to argue it. | ||
| They have to argue the implications of it. | ||
| And that can be kind of tough. | ||
| That can be kind of unpleasant. | ||
| And a lot of people don't like doing that. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It hurts people's feelings. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And, yeah, so he starts off with the rhetorical question trick, and then he gets even fucking worse. | ||
| Hello again, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Michael Matt coming to you once again from the offices of the Remden newspaper. | ||
| Here's something you're not apt to hear on mainstream media. | ||
| Of the 18 million people in the world who've been infected with the coronavirus, 10.6 million have recovered. | ||
| You'll hear numbers like that. | ||
| Yeah, I forgot to set this clip up. | ||
| Those first two were from the six minutes that my uncle sent. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| They were the ones about Davos. | ||
| I was confused. | ||
| Yeah, I forgot to... | ||
| Oh, no, that's all right. | ||
| I thought he was coming in from commercial break or something. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| No, that's the start of the actual show. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So that's where we start. | ||
| I reject his premise. | ||
| Yeah, it's not terrible. | ||
| Yeah, sorry. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| This is August 6th of this year. | ||
| So that was back whenever the total number of cases was 18 million. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And a cursory Google search would be like... | ||
| How many cases are there on August 7th? | ||
| 18 million. | ||
| How many people have recovered? | ||
| 10.6 million. | ||
| What does that fucking matter? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right now, you can see... | ||
| Do you want to subtract those numbers? | ||
| Right! | ||
| That's the other thing that I was saying. | ||
| You might as well say... | ||
| Here's what you won't hear in the hard right media. | ||
| Of the 18 million people who were infected with COVID, 7.4 million have not recovered. | ||
| It's the same thing. | ||
| It's the same sentence, just the emphasis in the other direction. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, that's... | ||
| I don't... | ||
| I always wonder about that. | ||
| The impetus to insist everybody's covering up everything that is just readily available information. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It seems strange. | ||
| So the first thing he says is, here's what you won't hear from the mainstream media. | ||
| And you absolutely will, can, and are often hearing it from the mainstream media all the time. | ||
| And then, as of today, there's about 49 million cases. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And it's only going to fucking go up. | ||
| So says you! | ||
| So who gives a shit? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey! | |
| Hey! | ||
| Are you a doctor? | ||
| Are you a doctor? | ||
| No, I'm not. | ||
| Well... | ||
| I have to be honest. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| I'm gonna listen to this guy. | ||
| Because you're not a doctor. | ||
| I'm afraid I'm not. | ||
| If you were a doctor, I'd listen to you over this guy, but you're not. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Would you like to know more about this guy? | ||
| Sure, I would love to. | ||
| Do you think you should listen to this guy after what I tell you? | ||
| Well, I mean, it's not going to shake my trust in him. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| Well, I will tell you this. | ||
| He is the editor-in-chief of The Remnant, a far-right Catholic newspaper out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. | ||
| This newspaper was created when two brothers got into a fight. | ||
| At The Wanderer. | ||
| Wow, most good things come out of that. | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| That's the backstory of everything. | ||
| Now, The Wanderer is the United States' oldest Catholic newspaper. | ||
| It was started all the way back in, like, 1867. | ||
| And in 1899, a man named Joseph Matt took over as editor-in-chief of Dare Wanderer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wouldn't that be lovely if there was no relation? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| So... | ||
| It was originally German language only. | ||
| It wasn't until 1931 that Joseph Matt made it an English newspaper. | ||
| And the reason, or not Joseph Matt, it was his son, Walter Matt, who took over the editorship in that time. | ||
| And over that time, it went from being this very small German Catholic newspaper that... | ||
| Maybe 3,000 people have read to something that went worldwide, mainly because of the early hatred of the Nazis. | ||
| So even in the 1930s, Joseph Matt, a... | ||
| You know, German Catholic was just out here telling people to avoid Hitler. | ||
| He's the worst dude in the world. | ||
| He was Antifa. | ||
| He was Antifa. | ||
| He was killing it to the point where fucking Mussolini had Pravda release some like, hey, fuck these guys. | ||
| Fuck the Wanderer. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It was some serious shit. | ||
| And then Vatican II happened. | ||
| And so... | ||
| Walter and his brother Alphonse, who were both working, Walter being the editor-in-chief at the time, Alphonse working at The Wanderer, decided that one of them really was fine with Jews and non-Catholics, and the other one, not fine with Jews and non-Catholics. | ||
| And so, Walter Matt created The Remnant, which was a newspaper that basically exists only to tell you... | ||
| Why the Jews and non-Catholics are evil. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| And guess who that includes now, Dan? | ||
| This guy? | ||
| The Pope! | ||
| No one who is Catholic. | ||
| Is Catholic to the remnant? | ||
| Well, sure. | ||
| I mean, that's the case with a lot of those folks who believe that the Vatican is now invalid. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| The whole Catholic Church has been led astray, except for our fringe group. | ||
| Everything. | ||
| We're the only ones keeping the fire, as it were. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I always find it amazing how solid a voting bloc Christians are, like, quote-unquote Christians are, when, if you, like, get granular... | ||
| They hate each other more than anyone else. | ||
| There is a lot of infighting between sects. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| And I think because a lot of it, for the people who get to the more fighty aspects of it, are very apocalyptic. | ||
| They are very into the fact or the idea that they have that it's going to come down to an apocalypse. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it's very much important that your group be the one that has the right idea. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| And the traditionalist Catholics are, you know, nutbags. | ||
| So, Michael J. Matt took over after Walter Matt from The Remnant. | ||
| And, of course, Michael Matt's first cousin, Alphonse Jr., is editor of The Wanderer. | ||
| So, these guys are third generation... | ||
| Catholic bullshit newspaper editors. | ||
| But also vicious rivals. | ||
| Are they both in Minnesota? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Oh, wow. | ||
| That state's not big enough for these two newspapers. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Well, guess which one of them has been labeled a hate group by the SPLC? | ||
| I think the smart money is on this guy. | ||
| Yeah, you are going to be correct. | ||
| So, he keeps going on about COVID. | ||
| And this is all in the full video. | ||
| This is the stuff that, you know, you don't get to see. | ||
| That wasn't in the, like, email chain. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Friends, we need to have a talk. | ||
| I mean, let's be really clear right from the outset. | ||
| COVID-19 is not a hoax, okay? | ||
| Worldwide, over 650,000 people, mostly elderly, have succumbed to it. | ||
| This is not a hoax. | ||
| Even with skewed death reporting, which we know is going on all over the place, this is a very serious virus. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Right! | ||
| You gotta give it up to him. | ||
| Whenever he's right. | ||
| No, you don't. | ||
| Now, the skewed death reporting numbers, look, they're all gonna say that, but at least he's on the, hey, take this seriously. | ||
| This is an actual thing. | ||
| Right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| This is a serious thing. | ||
| I mean, but that's not, like, applaudable. | ||
| That's just a demonstration of how far out, like, so many of the people that we talk about are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| The fact that we're looking at him and he thinks it's a real virus is notable. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That's the only thing. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But... | |
| Credit where it's due from the hard right, with the low bar that we're dealing with. | ||
| Dan, how long do you think that credit lasts? | ||
| Maybe until this next clip. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| But so was the H1N1, the swine flu of 2009, which claimed the lives of half a million people. | ||
| So was the Hong Kong flu of 1968, which claimed the lives of up to 4 million people. | ||
| Flu is a nasty business. | ||
| Now, do you remember these previous epidemics, pandemics? | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because the media didn't freak us out over those. | ||
| The country wasn't shut down. | ||
| Healthy people were not quarantined. | ||
| Schools weren't closed. | ||
| Church services weren't canceled. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Sure, it's a real virus, but we've had viruses in the past. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| Nobody remembers them. | ||
| I think people do. | ||
| Oh, now, I mean, I'm sure if you related to one of those 500,000 people, you'd be like, oh, I remember that one. | ||
| Or if you just went through, like, lived through it. | ||
| Like, not even get it. | ||
| I remember H1N1. | ||
| I don't know anybody. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Off the top of my head that got sick, but, I mean, yeah. | ||
| What's his point? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| His point is... | ||
| The media. | ||
| It's nothing to worry about. | ||
| It's hysteria. | ||
| It's just the media making everything go crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So I looked into those, and as far as H1N1 goes, he... | ||
| kind of... | ||
| he's misrepresenting things a little bit. | ||
| Right. | ||
| The CDC total is an estimate that gives it between 140 and 500,000 deaths. | ||
| So that's a pretty wide margin of error to just assume 500,000. | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But... | |
| Even more, maybe to his point, the United States had about 12,000 deaths total. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| From H1N1. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So if you want to say, why don't we remember those? | ||
| Because it didn't lay waste to hundreds of thousands of people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Why didn't we respond the same way to those? | ||
| Because different decisions were made. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And different viruses exist. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And we did a much better job, just frankly, overall with contact tracing, with everything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| This was taken serious from the jump. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Within two weeks of the first H1N1 case in the United States, it was being absolutely attacked and taken care of. | ||
| Now, the 1968, quote, Hong Kong flu, as he calls it, which is just as racist then as it is now, my friend. | ||
| That one is actually kind of interesting and also instructive in terms of these types of dude. | ||
| So it was actually a strain of bird flu called H3N2. | ||
| And H3N2's story actually begins in 1957. | ||
| In the southwestern province of Guizhou, H2N2 broke out. | ||
| And by 1959, over a million people had died between Asia and Europe. | ||
| A vaccine was created in just two years, and the outbreak was dimmed. | ||
| But even in 1958, Ireland had to close schools. | ||
| Britain recommended quarantining in 1968. | ||
| Finally, the H2N2 created a new... | ||
| It basically mutated. | ||
| It reconstituted itself into H3N2. | ||
| And this was maybe the first website that went global. | ||
| Because of air travel. | ||
| The first virus, not website. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jesus. | |
| I'm losing my mind. | ||
| That's all right. | ||
| I was reading the next note while I'm... | ||
| I'm not good at reading notes while talking to you. | ||
| But also, at the same time, I mean, websites can go viral, so I feel like I understand where the mind thing was there. | ||
| It happens. | ||
| It happens. | ||
| So, yeah, that one went crazy. | ||
| Now, here is what happened when H3N2 hit the United States. | ||
| From the National Library of Medicine's website. | ||
| All 50 states experienced increased school absenteeism during the pandemic. | ||
| Makes sense. | ||
| 23 faced school and college closures. | ||
| 31 saw elevated worker absenteeism. | ||
| All of this stuff was chronicled extensively in every newspaper where there were obviously college closures. | ||
| Businesses slowed down. | ||
| People were screaming about threats to Christmas mail. | ||
| People were screaming about the economy and how this is all going to happen. | ||
| In December, Apollo 8 astronauts were vaccinated from getting a space virus, I guess. | ||
| The whole fucking thing. | ||
| All of this, even during that time, President Lyndon B. Johnson, at one point he was hospitalized with a respiratory infection that could be called... | ||
| The flu. | ||
| All of this stuff, as described by the New York Times, as one of the worst pandemics in the nation's history. | ||
| And we responded in a lot of very similar ways, it turns out. | ||
| All of that stuff was done, and it was done in both kind of a half-ass way and in a very serious way. | ||
| But to say that the media did not freak out about it... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What a shock. | ||
| This guy has a bad point. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And furthermore, H3N2 was reported after multiple studies to have a mortality rate of about half a percent. | ||
| COVID's over average is about five times higher than that. | ||
| And at high risk categories, it's ten times higher than that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And there's so much... | ||
| I mean, we know more now than we did six months ago or whatever, but there's still a lot of unanswered questions about stuff. | ||
| And that makes it much more difficult than a lot of things that are much more closely related to a flu. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Totally. | |
| That we have a lot more history of being able to have interventions and treatments with. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| But the thing that I keep going back to... | ||
| And this is the thing that I just wish more people would understand. | ||
| The, quote, Hong Kong flu didn't start until 1968, but it mutated from a different virus that started in 1957. | ||
| So whenever people talk about, oh, no, no, no, herd immunity and all of this shit, all of that nonsense, it's like... | ||
| This is not about just today. | ||
| It's not about just this virus. | ||
| This is not something that we can allow to continue to propagate simply because it's going to adapt on its own. | ||
| Yeah, that's how these things work. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That's how they survive. | ||
| So the longer you fucking allow it to roam what is now essentially unchecked, the more we almost certainly guarantee that there's going to be another pandemic shortly. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| That's just how it fucking works. | ||
| Pandemics give rise to higher likelihood of... | ||
| Pandemics. | ||
| If not dealt with appropriately. | ||
| I can't back that up with any research because I'm just talking off the top of my head. | ||
| But it feels like that's the truth. | ||
| Welcome to my job, my friend. | ||
| I feel very insecure about the last sentence I said. | ||
| Because it felt good saying it, but I really don't know if it's true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now you understand why I like my job. | |
| It's not my responsibility. | ||
| But conversely, I don't like it. | ||
| I feel very untethered. | ||
| I despise having to know what I'm talking about. | ||
| It's really freaking me out. | ||
| It makes me feel a little bit more secure. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| So, yeah. | ||
| Why don't we remember stuff like that? | ||
| Because assholes like this dude just say, why don't you remember it? | ||
| Instead of going back and talking about it. | ||
| And talking about how there are obvious parallels and things that we can learn from all of this shit. | ||
| And a lot of people did, and they're the people you aren't listening to right now. | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| The people who remember these pandemics are the ones trying to help us. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| There's a big difference between remembering that something happened and actually understanding what happened. | ||
| And I think that's a distinction. | ||
| That is lost in a report like this. | ||
| A little bit. | ||
| Yeah, I remember the name. | ||
| I don't remember what we did. | ||
| But it seems like the media probably wasn't all that up in arms about it. | ||
| Nope, super freaked out. | ||
| Well, I don't know. | ||
| Let's move on. | ||
| Okay, that's a good idea. | ||
| In which case, this is something I would like to move on to, Dan, because in this situation, I am going to need your help. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Everyone with a pulse knows Joe Biden can't do this job. | ||
| What's he doing there, then? | ||
| In my opinion, he's the personified monument to the U.S. presidency that the mob will tear down in January. | ||
| They need to reset everything, including the politics of the United States, the governance of the United States. | ||
| Besides that, old Joe the Catholic Biden has always been a New World Order guy. | ||
| The affirmative task we have now is to actually create a new world order. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh no. | ||
| So here's the thing. | ||
| I understand what he's trying to say. | ||
| He's trying to say Biden is bad. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boo. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| What is he actually saying, though? | ||
| He's saying that Joe Biden sucks, he's a bad candidate, and that is why they're running him as a sacrificial lamb once he becomes inaugurated, to be taken down, which will take down with it the entire three-part United States government. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Tricks and balances. | ||
| I'm trying to come up with words. | ||
| Sure, yeah. | ||
| It'll take down the United States government in a way that will create something better, probably some kind of demonic socialist organization of workers or something. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Yeah, he is not... | ||
| This is completely out of left field. | ||
| This is in the middle of him talking about all of the COVID lies that you're going to hear from everyone. | ||
| But that's how they get you ready for Biden to come in and then get him taken down. | ||
| And then completely change the United States into Helltown Venezuela or whatever the right wing likes to yell about. | ||
| Yeah, I just don't... | ||
| I get him saying, oh, he's the statue that they're going to take down. | ||
| And he's trying to say... | ||
| If you're right, he's saying that the mob... | ||
| Yeah, the left. | ||
| The mob... | ||
| The left. | ||
| ...has chosen him to then take him down. | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| The establishment... | ||
| Has chosen him because he is vulnerable to being taken down by the mob, who the establishment sort of controls, but maybe they don't sometimes if we need them to not. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Joe Biden will come in, and he'll be so weak that the mob will take him down. | ||
| And the establishment will pretend like, oh no, there's nothing we can do! | ||
| And then they'll reform the government. | ||
| Okay, so that's the real reason they want you to hate Donald Trump. | ||
| And then all the senators become dukes! | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| Like, what are you fucking talking about? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Why would anyone run a candidate? | ||
| Well, I mean, like, I would also say I'm sick and tired of hearing these people who have clips. | ||
| Of them saying the words New World Order. | ||
| I do not find this a compelling argument at all. | ||
| There are plenty. | ||
| Trump has said New World Order. | ||
| And if he says it, they're like, well, yeah, it's the one that we want to create. | ||
| They would make the argument that I would make about everybody. | ||
| They're talking about a world order that is not the same as the old way of things being organized. | ||
| Alliances, tensions. | ||
| Things like that. | ||
| Disagreements between countries. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| A new way of ordering the world collaboratively and cooperatively. | ||
| That's what they would say if, you know, like Trump saying those words. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, of course. | ||
| But they won't give that same... | ||
| Sort of benefited the doubt to other people. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| It's very dumb. | ||
| They've always been New World Order guys. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| As opposed to Trump, who was never a New World Order guy, because he's always wanted things to stay exactly the same. | ||
| I believe that Corn Pop actually got Biden into the New World Order. | ||
| Really? | ||
| That's what I understand. | ||
| When was that? | ||
| That was from one of this guy's other speeches that I heard. | ||
| Yeah, I missed that one. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, he inducted him. | ||
| He did speak at a Trump rally. | ||
| He may have said that one then. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Yeah, so he tosses that out there and then almost immediately goes right back to COVID. | ||
| The Great Reset, then, politically, economically, it wants to implement massive socialist programs and, of course, global climate change along the lines of the Green New Deal. | ||
| The regulation is going to be unbelievable, and no one, no country will be allowed to opt out of this. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Well, if an individual country opts out of the Great Reset... | ||
| They're going to be endangering the whole world community, the whole world, through future pandemics that will be caused by climate change, Al Gore says, and overpopulation, says Bill Gates. | ||
| You see how it works? | ||
| No country will be allowed to opt out. | ||
| This is what we're facing in November. | ||
| So this is what COVID is creating. | ||
| Because it's attacking every country, no country will be allowed to opt out. | ||
| That's the idea behind all of this stuff. | ||
| And just because you say something with a funny voice doesn't mean it's not still true. | ||
| There's no agreement, and I'm sure that whatever agreement they do wind up working out, countries will be able to opt out. | ||
| But they shouldn't. | ||
| It's a terrible idea. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because it's a global effort. | ||
| And this is something that we learn from 1968. | ||
| Whenever we're talking about air travel, it goes everywhere. | ||
| All of this stuff goes everywhere, which means everywhere has to fight against it. | ||
| Yeah, things that are human constructs can't fight things that are just real. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like a border can't fight... | ||
| A disease. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's imaginary. | ||
| Yeah, even if you have a tightly controlled wall and everything like that, there's still vulnerabilities that you have. | ||
| You're never going to be able to completely insulate. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| And whenever they talk about how we need to deal with climate change in order to keep all of these things taken care of, that is also going to have to be a global effort. | ||
| Nobody can opt out of it. | ||
| Yeah, pollution here affects places other than here. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| So, just because you can't just be like, oh, everybody has to stay in there, and then be like, okay, well then, you got me. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I guess if what he was talking about was some kind of authoritarian rule of the planet, I guess I would probably be opposed to that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| But if it, yeah, if it's just... | ||
| Working together. | ||
| Working together to fight climate change and pandemics. | ||
| I don't think that there's a real problem with centralization of unified response. | ||
| You would think. | ||
| I don't see that being the same thing the way these guys do. | ||
| It's very weird. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And we are all worried about climate change and pandemics and all of the stuff. | ||
| And I want to ask you a question, Dan. | ||
| Do you think that the Catholic Church is going to protect you? | ||
| Me? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| I don't know if they know I exist. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| And if you think the Catholic Church is going to protect you from what's coming, from this globalist takeover nightmare, think again. | ||
| We've been through all this before. | ||
| Leaving aside Pachamama. | ||
| And leaving aside Laudato Si, which is the encyclical of the globalists. | ||
| It's the encyclical of the United Nations. | ||
| He's using the G word. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| We're talking about globalists. | ||
| Guess who's one of them? | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Oh, it's the Pope, buddy. | ||
| Oh, of course. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| As soon as people started calling him Cool Pope. | ||
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Fucking dude's a globalist. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| And if you, do you know what Pachamama is? | ||
| I was a little bit lost for a minute. | ||
| Or the Laudato Si? | ||
| Please explain. | ||
| So Pachamama, whenever he just tosses out Pachamama, I really struggled to figure out what it was that he was so concerned about. | ||
| It seems, my radar is up for something offensive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| No, so here's what's going on. | ||
| In 2019 in October... | ||
| There was an indigenous prayer service in the Vatican Gardens. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And in that Vatican Garden, there was brought an Amazonian female fertility figure named Pachamama. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And it was just there. | ||
| And that, of course, was the signal to everyone that the Pope was actually a pagan and has been trying to destroy the church from the inside. | ||
| This checks out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Yep. | ||
| I gotta say, they have done their homework. | ||
| So that one did it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And then the Laudato Si was an encyclical from the Pope in 2015. | ||
| And an encyclical is something that's then added to the church. | ||
| Like an executive order. | ||
| Basically, yeah, yeah. | ||
| The Pope says it because the Pope is the mouthpiece of God. | ||
| If he's saying it... | ||
| Gotta be right. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Well, it turns out that believing that the Pope is the mouthpiece of God is not something that Catholics really do. | ||
| They're not really fans of that whenever the Pope disagrees with them. | ||
| So, the Laudato Si was essentially this. | ||
| I'm going to sum it up for you very, very quickly. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| You know all those reasons that you and I think the world is fucked? | ||
| Instead of having religion fight science over fixing those, what if we just work together? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| How would that go? | ||
| I'm fine with that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Michael J. Matt and his friends instead heard that and went, No! | ||
| Witches. | ||
| I hate you! | ||
| Science witches. | ||
| And so all of this stuff, again... | ||
| Not really in the video that my uncle sends around. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| He's not finding out through this guy that he's a weird anti-papist Catholic who's been fighting against including Jews in, like, public spaces for his entire life. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, for three generations, like, that kind of thing. | ||
| Yeah, which is what you would want to hide if you're trying to get this person's message out about Davos. | ||
| It's a little bit different, isn't it? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so, we continue on with the Pope. | ||
| Francis has already announced the global economic reset of his own last year. | ||
| I don't know what makes this man think that he's an economist. | ||
| I don't know where he learned all of this down in Argentina, but he's an amazing guy. | ||
| He knows everything but theology. | ||
| Have you noticed that? | ||
| I didn't notice that. | ||
| I don't pay all that close attention, though, so I hadn't noticed that. | ||
| Well, I will tell you one reason that Pope Francis knows a lot more about the economy than somebody like Michael J. Matt. | ||
| Pope Francis used to be Cardinal Bergoglio, before he became Pope. | ||
| And he was the cardinal, and he was the archbishop of Venezuela. | ||
| During the fucking collapse, whenever inflation went insane. | ||
| So he did it? | ||
| He didn't do it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You can't prove that. | ||
| What I'm hearing is he did it. | ||
| You can't prove that. | ||
| He collapsed Venezuela. | ||
| Ah, no. | ||
| That was Soros, of course. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Who is mentioned frequently. | ||
| I'm sure he is. | ||
| I wonder why. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, the reason that I will trust him far more than Michael J. Matt is because when all of that went down... | ||
| Cardinal Bergoglio decided, fuck all of the trappings. | ||
| I'm going to live in a small home. | ||
| I'm going to walk to work. | ||
| I'm not going to take a fucking limousine when everyone around me is suffering. | ||
| So I will immediately trust somebody who is willing to suffer along more than... | ||
| Damn near anybody. | ||
| Yeah, it seems to be a good indicator of priority. | ||
| Yeah, it seems like there was somebody really important to the Catholic Church who spoke almost exclusively about doing stuff like that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He was really important, too. | ||
| I can't remember his name. | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| It's on the tip of my tongue. | ||
| Somebody who's like, that's the only way to get into heaven, really. | ||
| He even said that if you have all those trappings, you're never going to heaven. | ||
| Yeah, you can't get through the pin of a needle or whatever the fuck. | ||
| Yeah, who said that? | ||
| Who said that? | ||
| Somebody really important. | ||
| Thomas Jefferson, come on, stop playing games. | ||
| So yeah, that's the end of that August show. | ||
| That's what I'm going to play from there. | ||
| Obviously, you can guess the Davos hits. | ||
| You know, Soros and Gates and all this. | ||
| With the Great Reset, it's really interesting because you have this thing about the World Economic Forum and a lot of ideas about new technologies and ways that they can be implemented to help with climate change and things like that. | ||
| And meanwhile, you have the people who are the really paranoid conspiracy types. | ||
| With the global economic reset, the Nessera and Jessera stuff in the Q communities, and I don't think that they think that they're talking about the same thing, but they're playing with the same idea. | ||
| Their paranoia comes from a very similar place. | ||
| I think that's really interesting, the way that one's wearing a suit, and the other has a sign and is yelling on the corner. | ||
| But it's pretty much the same. | ||
| It's the same bullshit. | ||
| Just packaged in different ways for what audience that you're looking for. | ||
| Yeah, and then you take this 20-minute thing that this guy did, and then you take six minutes of it, and you package it via Trump ad. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| That's how it works. | ||
| So yeah, that's the end of that episode. | ||
| And this next one that I pulled clips from is from yesterday. | ||
| Or what would that be? | ||
| Wednesday, November 4th. | ||
| Hot off the presses. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| And I've watched a bunch of his videos and he operates very similarly to Alex, but more boring and way worse. | ||
| And what he does is he just says a long series of buzzwords and then asks a rhetorical question and then insinuates that you already know. | ||
| I know the answer. | ||
| And then just moves on really, really quickly to the point where whenever I was cutting clips from this, if you look at the WAV file in any player, it's almost nonstop. | ||
| There are barely any breaks where you can cut stuff out of there. | ||
| It's just almost like a solid wall. | ||
| It's got good cardio. | ||
| Oh, it just keeps fucking going. | ||
| And so you get stuff like this. | ||
| Actually, there's a lot of good to consider. | ||
| You know, right now it just seems so dark. | ||
| Nobody wants to talk about it. | ||
| But, you know, over the long haul, over the past couple of years, we've been spending a lot of time talking about this idea of, you know, Christ or chaos. | ||
| That if a society turns its back on Christ, well, chaos is inevitable. | ||
| And this is the thing, my friends. | ||
| I mean, right now we're seeing through it. | ||
| We're living right through that. | ||
| It's playing out in dramatic fashion, in fact, with this election. | ||
| Now, I'm not going to tell you that, you know, I can prove that the Democrats are absolutely cheating their way into the White House. | ||
| I'm not on the ground. | ||
| I don't have any inside dope any more than you do. | ||
| I can say this. | ||
| It obviously looks that way. | ||
| And at the very, very least, you know, we can say that we know they came up with a mail-in ballot scheme that turned the election in Joe Biden's favor, right? | ||
| We can all agree on that. | ||
| Let's think about that for a minute. | ||
| Let's think about it. | ||
| Yeah, let's think about that for a minute, Dan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
| What are all the things that he just tossed in there? | ||
| I think I got stuck on the chaos or Christ thing. | ||
| I think that's where I kind of... | ||
| I mean, I was still listening. | ||
| Don't you remember every society in history? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, whenever we go back through history, every single one that's turned away from Christ gone into chaos, right? | ||
| Well, any society that's had sort of a different religious character than Christian, certainly. | ||
| Always chaos. | ||
| They were born turning away from Christ, Dan. | ||
| That kind of mentality is pretty incompatible with cooperation. | ||
| It's definitely not something that you would... | ||
| Seed ground. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If the alternative to your religious belief being universal is chaos. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| It's a mess. | ||
| And then remember that his religious belief is hating everyone, including Catholics. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| That's going to be a problem. | ||
| And then what's a mail-in ballot scheme other than people mailed in their... | ||
| Sounds like a scheme. | ||
| No, it's just voting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nah. | |
| You can mail them in or you can walk them in. | ||
| It's the same basic thing. | ||
| Yeah, that's something that's always kind of like bummed me out is like... | ||
| You know that Republicans can vote by mail, too. | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| Everybody can just mail it, man. | ||
| This isn't something that the left is doing nefariously to only benefit themselves. | ||
| It's to help people vote in a difficult time. | ||
| You're the ones who made it a virtue signal to not vote by mail, and now you're blaming others for voting by mail? | ||
| That's a little bit silly, guys. | ||
| You could have just done it, man. | ||
| Just put it in the mail. | ||
| It's not hard. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| And, well, you know. | ||
| Making it more possible for people to vote is a scheme. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| All right. | ||
| And, of course, you know, that whole, like, it's obviously they stole the election. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| I can't prove it. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm not on the ground. | ||
| That's what it looks like. | ||
| Now, of course, the only evidence that he provided was that Democrats allowed people to mail votes. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Andy, watch some Info Wars. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| This next clip, I halfway put this in here just for posterity. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Lots of things had to be done, in other words, in order for old Uncle Joe to win. | ||
| And imagine if things were turned around, if they were reversed. | ||
| Imagine if Donald Trump had devised an 11th hour ballot harvesting scheme that suddenly put him in the lead. | ||
| You think that maybe people would be a little upset about that in the media? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| That's fun to imagine. | ||
| Dan, how do you think he will react if that situation exactly occurs? | ||
| Well, here's what I would say. | ||
| If everything had gone slightly differently and Trump, even as a president that I thoroughly don't like and don't trust... | ||
| I wouldn't think he's trying to steal it by way of expanding access to ballots and stuff. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I hate him. | ||
| And I would still think, yeah, that's probably what you gotta do. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| You're just doing a thing that makes sense. | ||
| Everything else you did was evil, but this one makes sense. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| People need to be protected as best as possible, and people need to vote. | ||
| So, if you're doing that, I still hate you, but that's cool. | ||
| Keep doing that. | ||
| Imagining that we are talking about Matt's scenario, wherein he actually does find some scheme to steal the election at the 11th hour. | ||
| Unheard of. | ||
| Do you think Michael Matt is going to be like, hey, I don't like these schemes stealing votes and all that stuff? | ||
| I suspect they won't be schemes at that point. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| They'll be honest-to-God ballots, I'm sure. | ||
| I'm sure. | ||
| Real organic folks coming out to protest the Democrats stealing. | ||
| Last minute votes and all of that stuff. | ||
| I just want that there just for when it does happen. | ||
| And I can just pull that up and be like, go fuck yourself. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And so he does his similar rhetorical question that assumes the answer in Brooke's no discussion situation all over again. | ||
| And the other thing is, I mean, does anyone question that this party of death, the party that campaigned on the right, the fundamental right to terminate the lives of unborn babies, does anybody question that such a party would indeed cheat their way into the White House if they thought they could get away with it? | ||
| That makes no sense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| Like, just from a structural standpoint of an argument, that makes no sense. | ||
| I believe them to be evil because of reproductive rights. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Therefore... | ||
| They would steal an election. | ||
| They would do anything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cool. | |
| His argument is, if you're fine with abortion, then you are already pre-guilty of anything I suspect of you. | ||
| Yeah, or at least I'm willing to make that argument based on nothing that you could do it. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And this is another one of those situations where... | ||
| That makes me think of that Larry Nichols thing where he's like, I never said that Hillary killed anyone, but... | ||
| Am I saying that she has the kind of personality where if someone did get killed, she'd be upset about it? | ||
| No. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So? | ||
| Go fuck yourself, man. | ||
| Yeah, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's nothing. | |
| I have decided that their moral character is such that they would steal an election. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| Next. | ||
| What else do you got to say? | ||
| I hate the Pope. | ||
| See, but that's way more fun than the way this dude is just hating the Pope. | ||
| True. | ||
| That's boring. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| This clip is a good example of, like, one of those situations where he just rambles along without stopping. | ||
| So there's no real place to, like, cut and cut out without losing a bunch. | ||
| So I'll just say that after he says all the things, you know, after he says that because Democrats are fine with abortion, they are willing to steal anything. | ||
| And then he lists several examples of other things that they would be willing to do if you want, including murder and yada. | ||
| Fitz Foster. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| The whole thing. | ||
| The whole thing, and it's so long, and I just don't want to deal with his bullshit. | ||
| So, then he stops doing that, and we get to his next point. | ||
| Essentially, what they're preaching is that doing whatever we want to do should become the whole of the law. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| Which is the essence of Satanism. | ||
| There we go! | ||
| So, when you think about it in that way, the big news today would be if the Democrats didn't cheat in these elections. | ||
| They are baby killers. | ||
| Of course they're cheaters. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| So we've gone from... | ||
| Of course they... | ||
| I believe they would do it to... | ||
| Yeah, they did it. | ||
| Of course they did it. | ||
| Why would you assume they didn't do it? | ||
| And we've reached Crowley. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| There are Satanists to do without wilts. | ||
| It's gotta come at some point. | ||
| There has to be a goddamn Crowley reference. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, boy. | |
| And that's just... | ||
| It's just so, like... | ||
| They are baby killers, the end. | ||
| Like, you have no room for any conversation with that. | ||
| There's no, like, hey, what's your tax policy? | ||
| Nope, you're a baby killer. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, graduated income tax, get the fuck out of here! | ||
| Like, it's just that simple to these people, and that is fucking terrifying. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| No, I agree. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And, as far as other things that terrify me, Try this. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Can I try it on for size? | ||
| Please do. | ||
| But we still won in the long term, in the long run. | ||
| Trump has remade that pathetic Republican Party, for which I refused to vote when they were running Romney and McCain's back in the day. | ||
| He's turned that Republican Party into a pro-life, pro-God, pro-family, pro-blue-collar working American Party. | ||
| That took the best shot now from George Soros and his millions and his minions. | ||
| Took the best shot these guys had to offer. | ||
| But guess what? | ||
| We're still standing. | ||
| They're still debating this election. | ||
| After all of that... | ||
| That evil laugh at the end really gets me. | ||
| Yeah, it's upsetting. | ||
| And furthermore, the things that he listed. | ||
| He's turned the Republican Party into a pro-life, pro-family, you know, that whole thing, and I'm just going... | ||
| Pro-working class. | ||
| And I'm just sitting there going like... | ||
| The party that sentenced several hundred thousand people to death is pro-life. | ||
| The party that separates children from their families is pro-family. | ||
| And the party that has absolutely destroyed the working class with no interest in any kind of stimulus package, anything along those lines, no interest in doing anything good, is the party of the working class. | ||
| It's pretty silly. | ||
| That's what these people think! | ||
| Well, I think that what they think is that... | ||
| Well, I think what they don't think, or they don't realize, Is that Trump has become that to them because they did that. | ||
| They created this projection that they've applied to him. | ||
| You got it. | ||
| And I think that Trump is such a dick in a blank slate in terms of any real, seemingly any real care about anything. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| They're able to do that. | ||
| And whatever works the best, he leans into. | ||
| Whatever seems to get these ding-dongs excited, he's like, yeah, hooray, make America great. | ||
| Wasn't that fun? | ||
| Lock her up. | ||
| That chant did real well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| You know, that kind of stuff. | ||
| Bring out the hits, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, so I think that he doesn't realize that Trump is his candidate because he's so vapid, and you've been able to mold him into what you want him to be. | ||
| It's one of the reasons why the left is disappointed with Biden, is because he's not an empty blank slate. | ||
| That's a really good point. | ||
| He has things that disagree with some of the political beliefs of people who are more to the left. | ||
| And if he was just an opportunist like Trump, he might have won more handily. | ||
| Yeah, that's probably true. | ||
| That's a really good point. | ||
| Man, he should have just lied. | ||
| He's a baby killer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What do you think he wasn't lying? | |
| Of course I don't think he was lying. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| He seemed too odd. | ||
| Now, admittedly, he was killing a baby at the time, so that would probably have been a sign, but what are you going to do? | ||
| Now, Dan, I think, as we all know from listening to Alex, that if Biden officially takes this election, God will have been defeated, correct? | ||
| I mean, I think it's gray, but yeah, it's sort of. | ||
| God's plan will be put backwards. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Or something. | ||
| God himself will not have been defeated. | ||
| That's blasphemy. | ||
| But he at least defeated God in this battle. | ||
| At the polls. | ||
| Yes, exactly. | ||
| Now, do you think he's defeated God? | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| So maybe we're going to lose this election because of dirty tricks and cheating on the other side, but that won't change the fact that we put the world on notice, friends. | ||
| Don't forget this. | ||
| Tell this. | ||
| Spread this around. | ||
| We put the world on notice that God is not dead, that he lives in us, that he lives in our families, that he lives in our unborn children, and that we will fight to the death for him and for any politician, for anyone who's willing to call out his name in the face of a neo-pagan world. | ||
| God's Not Dead was that movie, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| With Sorbo? | ||
| Kevin Sorbo? | ||
| I think it was Kevin Sorbo, yeah. | ||
| That sounds right. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| It's good to know that God is officially not dead. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And we've been put on notice by people like this guy. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And it's freaking me out that he's doing a little bit of what we have conjectured that Alex was trying to pull off at the end of 2016 election, where he's trying to say, like, It was a moral victory. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, Trump brought all of this to the forefront, and we got this moral victory. | ||
| Sure, we didn't win this election, but here we go. | ||
| That's how you have to redefine things now. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| And I honestly don't think that that is a uniquely, like, these guys kind of thing. | ||
| No, no, no, totally. | ||
| I mean like when there are you know Electoral victories that don't go your way or electoral contests sometimes you do have to look down ballot and see like well, yep I think that's a normal human thing. | ||
| Totally. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now, it doesn't work that well when it's the battle between good and evil. | |
| There is that. | ||
| That's where it kind of has a disconnect. | ||
| When it's just an election and it's just like... | ||
| Hey, you know, I don't like this candidate. | ||
| I'm more comfortable with this one. | ||
| You can kind of take solace in some victories and think like, well, we'll get some more work done next time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| I don't think you should do that when it's the devil. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, when you say literally, my opponents are baby killers who will do anything because if they're capable of that... | ||
| Then you can't trust them ever on anything, and you're willing to die for any politician who says the word Christ, unless they're a Democrat, in which case they can't possibly believe in God. | ||
| No, then they're lying. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| They're lying about God. | ||
| So it's difficult to play the normal, rational games when you've elevated things to an irrational level. | ||
| That's very strange to me. | ||
| And I think you could pull that off much better if Trump had never won. | ||
| Now that we are where we are, when people are talking about how Trumpism isn't going anywhere, this is a great example of that kind of thought process because it's literally, it's not just, we lost this election and we're going to pull it together and take care of it. | ||
| It's, we're ready to kill for him and we are ready to die for him now. | ||
| Yeah, but we're not gonna. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| At least people like him aren't going to. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no chance. | |
| That's where there's a control of the insanity. | ||
| It's not just like, we've completely lost it and it's time for a holy war. | ||
| That is an effective tool that we can use to further our political goals and further whatever our business is for people like Alex. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| And then once that season is over or whatever, if Trump loses, then you do have to go back to a more restrained... | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yeah, you know, let's count the victories we've got. | ||
| Trump destroyed political correctness or whatever. | ||
| You got it. | ||
| Yeah, you have to do that. | ||
| And you're totally right. | ||
| It would be so much better for everyone in that grifty community if Trump had never won, because then they could keep playing the same. | ||
| Like, it made more sense in 2016. | ||
| We were hearing Alex play the sort of, you know, hey, even if they steal it, Trump still won. | ||
| And, you know, it's great. | ||
| We can hang our head high. | ||
| That made sense then. | ||
| It does not make sense now. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And it's gonna be... | ||
| It's just a difficult move. | ||
| When you've... | ||
| Basically said that Western civilization is over. | ||
| It's hard to go back from that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay, it's over, but not if we win four years from now. | ||
| That's how it works. | ||
| It's over, but the midterms are coming. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| What? | ||
| The devil can't win a midterm? | ||
| And to your point, let's start talking about moral victories, Dan. | ||
| What do you think is the most impressive thing Trump has done? | ||
| That's interesting. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm trying to put myself in that mindset. | ||
| I know for Alex, the thing he always goes to is he got out of the TPP. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| I guess maybe that or the Paris Accords. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Something about God. | ||
| I think the answer will surprise you. | ||
| Paula White Kane? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| You see, he also showed that Christ wins elections. | ||
| That Christians can win elections in America. | ||
| That's just amazing, friends. | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| Amazing, Dan. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Christians can win elections in the United States. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| Now, admittedly, literally every president has been a Christian. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| One of them was Catholic, but he disagrees because he was a fan of Vatican II. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So that one doesn't count. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
| I guess no Christians have won an election. | ||
| Recently. | ||
| Oh, see, I heard it the other way. | ||
| I heard it being the Christian voters can win the election. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-uh. | |
| That's what I heard from... | ||
| Oh, okay, see... | ||
| Straight up, Christians can win elections. | ||
| Okay, so he's talking about it as a candidate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Not as, like, a voting bloc. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-uh. | |
| Oh. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Weird. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's even weirder than how weird it was the way I heard it. | ||
| Yeah, right? | ||
| Because that's also insane. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It was also a strange, strange thing to think. | ||
| Yeah, like, literally... | ||
| Most people in the United States have been Christian throughout our history. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Aside from when we colonialized every fucking thing and killed everybody. | ||
| And it's a sizable voting bloc. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| A very sizable voting bloc. | ||
| So, that's insane. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| That is very weird. | ||
| But, you know, Dan, it's because of Trump that, you know, Christians weren't afraid. | ||
| But now that Biden might be president... | ||
| Time to get scared? | ||
| They could be afraid, Dan. | ||
| New to being afraid. | ||
| I don't know if you're doing this just to intentionally ask me a bunch of rhetorical questions. | ||
| Thank you! | ||
| Thank you for catching up with me! | ||
| God damn it! | ||
| That was the whole idea! | ||
| It's as annoying coming from you as it is from him. | ||
| Then, if anybody can prove how annoying rhetorical questions are, who could it be better than me? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think they'll be scared? | ||
| Is that what I'm supposed to say? | ||
| Probably. | ||
| And being afraid is nothing new for us. | ||
| Heck, I grew up as a child of the Cold War, where the communists were putting millions of people to death in gulags all over the world, and we always thought they were going to come. | ||
| You know? | ||
| We're hiding out in the woods half the time, preparing, you know, learning how to shoot and hunt and defend ourselves, worry about the communists. | ||
| We grew up that way. | ||
| I would argue you are still growing up that way. | ||
| I actually played this clip, or I grabbed this clip immediately just because I feel like this confirms or at least adds to the evidence of one of your main theories about all these right-wing ding-dongs. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it is a lot of the, like, sort of emotional scar ripples of the Cold War. | ||
| It's so traumatic to... | ||
| I don't actually have a full theory on why that is or to what extent that explains a lot of this stuff, but it's the same way that every single person that is an expert on Alex's show or on one of these other shows was mixed up in Iran-Contra. | ||
| Every single person was involved in Iran-Contra. | ||
| And it's kind of the same. | ||
| You scratch any of these right-wing, hard-right guys, there is going to be some extreme feelings about the Cold War. | ||
| And a very strong insistence that it is still going on, that McCarthyism was cool. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| And, yeah. | ||
| Why shouldn't people be blacklisted for being Jewish? | ||
| That makes perfect sense to him. | ||
| Yeah, there's, yeah, it's... | ||
| In much the same way that slavery and the aftermath of it is an untreated wound in the American psyche, I think the Cold War is another one. | ||
| I think it's another one where we lost our minds, everyone distrusted each other to an extent that was unsustainable, and we never really dealt with it. | ||
| And I think that society would go a long way if we could figure out ways. | ||
| to deal with these things as opposed to repressing them and getting angry and feeling guilt or projected guilt like any of that stuff. | ||
| I think we'd be better off and unfortunately I don't think we're gonna do that. | ||
| I mean you see exactly that kind of idea is Because we haven't dealt with it, because it's a still open wound, so many people are also susceptible to the same anti-communist propaganda. | ||
| Like, what do you think this guy... | ||
| Do you think this guy is a Pez dispenser? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Of course he is. | ||
| Like, all of these guys just have that same propaganda in their back pocket at all times. | ||
| And it's always effective. | ||
| So... | ||
| That's basically it. | ||
| This is our last clip, and I think I'll open it with one more rhetorical question, Dan. | ||
| Should weirdo Christians be discouraged? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Don't be discouraged. | ||
| Trump's not going away anyway, and neither are the pickup trucks and the flags and the boats. | ||
| And the millions of Americans who are absolutely woke to the New World Order and to the demons that want to build it, thanks to what happened over the course of the past four years in God's providence. | ||
| That's a lot of words. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Providence. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Woke. | |
| Beautiful boats. | ||
| You got it. | ||
| When you said, should weirdo Christians be discouraged, I thought it was an interesting question because, you know, the way I heard it from you was, should they be discouraged from being weirdo Christians? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And when he's saying that, he's saying, should they be discouraged in terms of what's going on in the world? | ||
| Sure! | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Should they feel like there's a setback? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's why those sorts of questions are dangerous. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You might be asking something that someone hears differently. | ||
| It was a rhetorical question. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think... | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I think Trump is probably going away. | ||
| You think so? | ||
| Well, I mean, if he loses, I don't think he has much relevance. | ||
| He's just a prop to the people who support his movement anyway. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It's just up to some more competent right-wing asshole to step in and take that mantle. | ||
| That's why I am discouraged. | ||
| Because he's right. | ||
| Those trucks aren't going anywhere. | ||
| The boats aren't going anywhere. | ||
| You might be right in that Trump personally is done. | ||
| Because who gives a fuck now? | ||
| But the movement... | ||
| Those trucks aren't going away. | ||
| It's just going to be some other fucking shit cult leader. | ||
| Yeah, those people are just now sitting ducks for indoctrination to whatever the next person who scratches that itch is. | ||
| And that'll probably be a fairly familiar name. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| Dinesh D'Souza will be the next right-wing cult leader. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean, it should have been... | |
| It should have gone better because, I don't know, but they're definitely not going anywhere. | ||
| And it's a testament to this bullshit that my uncle, so far as I know, is absolutely not Catholic. | ||
| I don't remember him converting recently. | ||
| And interestingly enough, it's only because of Vatican II that he would even talk to my uncle. | ||
| Because my uncle's a non-Catholic. | ||
| Do you know what I'm saying? | ||
| Like, this is the type of shit where somehow they create this nonsense coalition of stupid beliefs and they hate each other. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's amazing to me. | ||
| That is funny that I never even thought for a second that your uncle wasn't Catholic based on the fact that he was sending you this video. | ||
| You would think, right? | ||
| But I think this happens all the time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like, I would guarantee this happens... | ||
| All the time. | ||
| People are sending these things that agree with them. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Short clips. | ||
| And if you back up, all of a sudden you're like... | ||
| Oh, shit! | ||
| I didn't know I was being anti-Semitic bar sending you this shit! | ||
| Fuck! | ||
| I don't know the context of any of this stuff that I'm passing along. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I think that's one of the dangers of the social media age, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Totally. | |
| I think a lot of people are guilty of that. | ||
| I think everybody can do a little bit of a better job of, you know... | ||
| I hate to say this because it becomes a thing where it's like, well, think before you retweet. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| That slows down the retweets. | ||
| But it might be better for everyone if people did that. | ||
| Just retweet our links. | ||
| I think makes sense. | ||
| Stop and think. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| About whether or not to retweet it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| But, Dan, that is... | ||
| Do you have any closing thoughts on that? | ||
| No. | ||
| Other... | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Well, then never mind. | ||
| Click. | ||
| No, other than I would say I think that it's interesting whenever we go down one of these episodes that you take over that we get a glimpse of somebody that we've never heard before but is weirdly very familiar. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And it also is like, you know, hey, we need more people. | ||
| To talk about, you know, like we need more... | ||
| People who have shows that are interesting, and I think they're all whiffs. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's not your fault. | ||
| Every single one of them. | ||
| I just think there's no charisma coming. | ||
| This guy's a charisma vacuum. | ||
| No, I fought. | ||
| He's making weird mouth noises. | ||
| I fought real hard to find an actual episode out of this guy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, it is bad. | ||
| No, I think you did a yeoman's job, but I think that he's just not somebody that I could ever be interested in hearing more from. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Not gonna sustain this. | ||
| Yeah, but it does sort of depict the sort of, you know, the... | ||
| The intended message is this video that got sent to you, and then what's behind it is something that is... | ||
| That's something that is good to point out and be aware of. | ||
| So thank you, Jordan. | ||
| You are very welcome. | ||
| Thanks for bringing that to our attention. | ||
| And remember... | ||
| That was personal. | ||
| Take that, uncle. | ||
| Absolutely, Dan. | ||
| But until, I believe we're going to have an episode on Monday, maybe? | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| We'll have an episode with 500. | ||
| You think, oh, it's 500? | ||
| That's what I've heard. | ||
| Is that an important number? | ||
| I mean, not really, but we're going to pretend a little bit. | ||
| All right, I think that's fair. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But until then, we have a website. | ||
| We do have a website. | ||
| It's KnowledgeFight.com. | ||
| Yep, we're also on Twitter. | ||
| We are on Twitter. | ||
| It's at KnowledgeFight, and I go to Ben Jordan. | ||
| We're also on Facebook. | ||
| We are on Facebook. | ||
| If you could, please find a local charity or bail fund in your area to help out people doing God's work. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| We'll be back, but until then, I'm Neo. | ||
| I'm Leo. | ||
| I'm DZXClark. | ||
| I'm Daryl Rundis. | ||
| I'm the Juiciest Ice Cube. | ||
