34:07
#521: Salt Break

Dan Friesen and Jordan Holmes, hosts of Knowledge Fight, reluctantly revisit Alex Jones by analyzing Coach Dave Dobbenmeier’s January 6 livestream—where he doxxed Metro passengers, including one claiming the riot was about "fighting communism," despite the 4M attendee myth debunked by rain and a competing Bears game. They mock his sovereign citizen claims (like renouncing U.S. citizenship via Judge Anna von Reitz’s disputed paperwork) and Trump’s alleged ineligibility under the movement’s logic, then dismantle his BLM-orchestrated-violence conspiracy as a cowardly deflection. The segment ends with a tease of their Wednesday deep dive into Jones’s rhetoric, blending critique with dark humor. [Automatically generated summary]

Andy in Kansas.
You're on the airplane for holding.
Hello, Alex.
I'm a fish pin color.
I'm a kid here today.
I love your room.
Knowledge fight.
Knowledgefight.com.
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
I'm Jordan.
We're Gibble Dudes.
Like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Oh, indeed we are, Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan.
unidentified
Dan!
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
Quick question for you.
dan friesen
Yes, sir.
jordan holmes
What's your bright spot today?
dan friesen
My bright spot today is I'm talking into a new microphone.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's right.
We are talking to a new microphone.
They look the same.
I completely forgot.
dan friesen
Exactly the same.
jordan holmes
They're the same.
dan friesen
Still cheap ass pad microphones.
Yep.
But they're new.
I noticed some poppling and crackling in a couple of our recent episodes.
I decided it was time to get at least new chords.
And man, this new windscreen feels good on my face.
jordan holmes
It does.
It's much smoother.
It doesn't have years of other people's faces on it.
dan friesen
Yeah, pre-COVID.
Pre-COVID, other people's faces.
The only one who's touched it since then.
jordan holmes
Yeah, for four years, we're the only ones who've touched it.
dan friesen
Yes.
Yeah, it's nice, though.
I bought a desk mic stand as well, but it does not attach to the mic holder.
jordan holmes
It looks there.
dan friesen
I still have some work to do on that phone.
But yeah, it's my weekend warrior type project for today.
jordan holmes
I love it.
dan friesen
How about you?
jordan holmes
Similar weekend warrior type project, Dan.
I have for probably like 13 years lived in apartments, in apartment buildings with people around me.
And so when I left for apartment living, I also left my drum set.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I miss it.
dan friesen
You're a guy who likes to throw some sticks.
jordan holmes
I played drums since I was like eight years old, and then I had to stop at like 19 for the aforementioned reasons.
And it has been difficult.
And finally, I realized that you can get an electric drum kit for like 300 bucks.
So I got one.
Wow.
And it's fantastic.
dan friesen
Wow, how about that?
jordan holmes
It's very cheap.
It's garbage.
I'm going to break it in a week.
dan friesen
It's going to be like when I played rock band.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
Just destroying those pants.
jordan holmes
Smashing it to death.
But it is so good to get back to drums.
dan friesen
Somehow it's still going to be too loud for your partner.
jordan holmes
She's still going to be like, well, I've also here's the weekend warrior.
The last time that I tried having a conversation while she was at work, our rooms share a wall.
Right, right.
And I am loud.
And I have a tendency to toss language about in jest.
dan friesen
Not fit for the classroom.
jordan holmes
No, most of her high school students have heard me speak.
So I bought some soundproofing shit.
So my entire room is going to be turned into a studio, essentially.
dan friesen
Good luck with that.
Soundproofing is kind of tough unless you can get inside the walls.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I'm working on it.
dan friesen
Well, that's fun.
I hope you have some nice fun.
Dave Gorolesque drumming adventures in your video.
jordan holmes
Who hasn't played along to Queens of the Stone Age songs for the dead?
dan friesen
I have only on rock band.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
But see what I'm saying?
You're not even a drummer and you've played along with it.
dan friesen
I've played Everlong on.
jordan holmes
Well, that one's fairly easy.
dan friesen
Not on Expert.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
You don't know your 16th notes, bro?
dan friesen
No, I don't.
It's very fast.
My foot gets tired.
jordan holmes
I miss rock band.
You let the sticks do the work.
That's what a lot of people don't know about drums.
You think you got to hit it with your arm.
You just move your wrist.
dan friesen
You say that, and it's like a cryptic mystery or something.
jordan holmes
No, it's not a mystery.
You let the sticks do the work, Dad.
dan friesen
I don't know.
I loved rock band.
I spent hours, hours trying to 100% helter skelter on expert.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I don't think I ever succeeded.
jordan holmes
You never succeeded.
dan friesen
I think I tried it hundreds and hundreds of times.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Because you get an achievement in Beatles Rock Band if you get it.
100% on Expert.
Just couldn't get it.
Couldn't get it.
jordan holmes
Couldn't do it, huh?
Ringo, gotcha.
The classic drummer that throws people off.
Look, I'm sorry.
dan friesen
A lot of the other songs are pretty easy, but Helter Skelter is a little complex.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure.
dan friesen
I'm also not very good at rhythm-based stuff.
jordan holmes
No, that's fine.
I'm sorry if I don't mean to make fun of you.
I'm just a bully.
I'm a bad person.
dan friesen
That's all.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry.
dan friesen
It's okay.
Okay.
So, Jordan, today we got an interesting thing on our plates in front of us, and that is that we don't really have an episode.
jordan holmes
That is an interesting thing on our plates.
dan friesen
So, here's what happened.
jordan holmes
What was that?
dan friesen
I did not want to do another episode for today about Alex.
I wanted to push that to Wednesday because I needed personally a break from him.
I was tired of his bullshit.
jordan holmes
Last week was emotionally exhausting.
dan friesen
Yeah, starting on the preparation for Friday's episode on the 8th, straight through to present.
It's been a lot.
It's been a lot of stuff that I grow weary of.
And then at the same time, the payoff of the interview with Steve Pieczenik on our last episode was almost too season-ending.
jordan holmes
It felt like it was a fucking season finale.
We got CVPs giving us the fucking cliffhanger.
unidentified
And when is he going to come to his face?
jordan holmes
I have been lying to you for 20 years.
dan friesen
I decided to anoint you as the vehicle by which I would set off a military coup.
Wait, hold on, hold on, Doc.
jordan holmes
I have been the puppet master.
dan friesen
Yeah, you think you're in control?
No, sir.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
There's something about that that was so satisfying and narratively interesting to me that I found myself having a really tough time going back to Alex.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I know it'll be temporary.
I'll be able to get back on the horse soon, but I sat down to try and listen to other episodes, and I was just like, I can't do this.
And so what I wanted to do, naturally, in times like this in the past, what we've done is we've gone to various other online space weirdos.
Sure.
jordan holmes
Yeah, if we could.
dan friesen
And so, yeah, I checked in on Carrie Cassidy over at Project Camelot.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And she had a video the day after the storming of the Capitol.
jordan holmes
She's on some Q bullshit for 100%.
Yeah, 100%.
dan friesen
Zero.
jordan holmes
Zero possibility that that wasn't going to happen.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
I got really bored listening to that too because aliens weren't in play.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
unidentified
Why wouldn't it?
jordan holmes
What did he say?
Get the fuck out of Q and get back into space, lady.
dan friesen
I did find out from listening to this, but it wasn't worth getting too deep into.
There's apparently an Archon alien, a singular one.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Just one.
dan friesen
That runs the CIA.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I did not know that.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
I did run that.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
And it used to be this guy, Archon, right?
But I think Carrie has some intelligence that he might have died.
And now there's a female Archon that's in charge of the CIA.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
Unclear.
jordan holmes
Prove that he's dead and not a shapeshifter.
dan friesen
Can't do it.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Can't do it.
Exactly.
I challenge you.
jordan holmes
Yeah, Carrie, bring it to me.
dan friesen
So then I was like, well, I bet Jim Baker's disappointed.
And I still don't like talking about Jim Baker.
I don't know why.
I just don't.
It still makes me a little bit uncomfortable.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
I think that I'm not going to be able to go back to that well after.
jordan holmes
Fuck Jim Baker.
I just, I don't know what is he going to say.
God does shit.
Well, we've moved on.
dan friesen
How great his big-ass bucket of oatmeal is.
jordan holmes
You and I have both read the Bible and eaten survival food.
We can just move on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
dan friesen
So then, of course, I was kind of like in a bind.
I was like, I don't know what I'm going to do.
Got to get something together.
And then I remembered that when I was looking at pictures of the Capitol on the 6th, I saw somebody wearing a pass-the-salt shirt, which, of course, is the name of Dave Dobenmeier.
Coach Dave, it's the name of his radio ministry, his YouTube broadcast ministry.
jordan holmes
Pass the salt.
dan friesen
I saw that.
I was like, whoa, there's Dave Dobbenmeier's shirts at the protest at the people storming the Capitol.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Was he there?
jordan holmes
That would be amazing.
Who else is wearing a Dave Dobbenmeier shirt?
dan friesen
Well, it wasn't him.
I would have recognized him in the picture.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
But I was like, Coach Dave had to have been there, right?
And so I went and I checked.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Dave Dobbenmeier was at the Capitol.
jordan holmes
He could not possibly have been there.
Really?
Dave Dobbenmeier decided to go storm the Capitol.
dan friesen
Coach Dave.
jordan holmes
Son of a bitch.
dan friesen
Yep.
unidentified
He led the football team in through.
dan friesen
I can't come up with metaphors.
jordan holmes
Guys, win one for the Gipper.
dan friesen
So today I wanted to take a little bit of a look at that, but it's not really much of an episode.
I wasted a lot of time watching these streams for what will ultimately be kind of, I don't know, a little bit deflating.
It's not going to be.
Look, if you like our show, tune back in on Wednesday.
We will have a full episode if you're expecting that.
unidentified
I do like the idea of Dave Dobbenmeyer.
jordan holmes
What if an episode of like Battlestar Galactica was like, hey, guys, this is a bottle episode.
We couldn't afford to really do much here.
Listen, if you want to see some space shit, come back next week.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
dan friesen
So one of the things that I thought was really funny is on the 6th, Dave is coach recording and doing a live stream from the Metro, from the train in D.C.
So it's a little bit iffy.
The sound is not great.
The connection is.
jordan holmes
That'll happen.
dan friesen
But one of the things that he does that I think is really maybe unfortunate in hindsight is he literally doxes every single person who's on that train with him going to DC.
Like if any of them went in the Capitol, his broadcast could be identifying information.
jordan holmes
It will, it's, look, it's obvious.
This was always going to be the case that this would happen.
But the fact that the people most afraid of Bill Gates tracking them all the time have doxed themselves so completely, it's just, it's never not going to be obvious.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's just going around like, oh, this is Greg from Idaho.
jordan holmes
Totally.
Totally.
Yeah.
dan friesen
Don't do this.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
I love it.
unidentified
Yep.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So Dave gets to talking about how many people there are going to be there.
jordan holmes
I do like how it seems the only people who are uninterested in doxing each other are Antifa.
They're the only people who are like, hey, if you're going to video people, don't put their face in it or say their real names.
Everybody else is like, I'd love to be on TV.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Here's my social security number.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
Are you from Nigeria?
I met a guy once.
dan friesen
So he gets to talking about how there's going to be so many people there.
And this is big.
This is not just a protest.
unidentified
From what I what I saw, Dale, four million.
They said there's possibly four million people that are going to be here in downtown Washington, D.C. Very, very strong, powerful message.
And most of the people have not come just to chant four more years.
No, I don't think so, Coach.
I think it's far beyond that.
Once again, Donald Trump is not going to call.
He called for this rally.
He has a platform at nine this morning, I believe.
He is going to talk.
He's not, it's not a pep rally.
I do not believe this is game on.
Remember, we talked about, you know, we always have 11 men on offense and 11 men on defense in the field.
This is like the coach turning to the stadium and saying, get on the field.
Now is the time.
dan friesen
I think I might be feeling inspired to write a book.
jordan holmes
Your honor, exhibit A.
dan friesen
I feel like there's a great book to be written about all of the right-wing media stuff prior to the Capitol storming called This Looks Bad in Hindsight.
jordan holmes
Yeah, totally, totally.
dan friesen
But ultimately, the thing that's really interesting about it is it's not really that different than the way they talk normally.
jordan holmes
You know, it's pretty much hubris, a Nazi tale.
dan friesen
So there's a guy on the bus there, and Dave goes around and he checks in on the temperature of the people in the crowd.
Hey, how are you doing?
Hey, how you doing?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
And this guy says it's now or never.
unidentified
Well, I'll tell you what, it's time we stand up.
This is it for our country, I'd say.
Either now or never.
Now or never.
I've enjoyed the blessings of the United States of America for 74 years, and I just don't want to see it go basically to the communists.
That's what we're looking at.
We've got to hand it off to our children.
It's our children, grandchildren.
That's it.
dan friesen
Yeah, man.
The commies, they're coming.
And it's now or never.
You've got to stand up and fight these commies or else your grandkids aren't going to have a capitalist country to live in and have a great time with.
jordan holmes
I like the real low tier of these guys because I recognize how they talk.
And that is exactly like comedy producers who have never put on a good show.
I think we're going to have about 4 million people here tonight.
dan friesen
Oh, yes.
That is awesome.
jordan holmes
I think we're going to have so many people here tonight.
I'm telling you, I've got so many Facebook messages.
People are committed to showing up.
You should have been here last week.
dan friesen
Oh, well, actually, it was going to be 4 million, but it rained.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Oh, I forgot that there was a Bears game today.
dan friesen
Yeah, exactly.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
unidentified
Oh, no.
dan friesen
It's Sunday.
There's always a game.
jordan holmes
Yes, exactly.
unidentified
Your show is weekly on Sundays.
dan friesen
You've got to know there's football.
You've got to know there's football, man.
So, yeah, they are a little bit, there's a little bit of pride or a little bit of expectation and excitement.
It's definitely palpable.
You can tell they feel like they're getting ready to go do something more than chant four more years.
unidentified
Yes.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
For sure.
jordan holmes
Yeah, the electricity was clearly in the air.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And interestingly, I mean, I think that the people who are there have a lot more to say than just that Biden stole the election.
There's certainly some ideas that are being trafficked on this bus that are interesting.
jordan holmes
Great ideas.
dan friesen
Great, high-falutin ideas.
unidentified
Clyde's going to tell us how to become a citizen of our local states rather than of the government.
Is that right?
Actually, what you're doing is you're moving from the admiralty and jurisdiction of the sea to the jurisdiction of the land and the soil.
And it's just very simple.
You just remove yourself.
You go through the process of the paperwork to remove yourself as a U.S. citizen and become a citizen of the state you were born in.
jordan holmes
Sure.
unidentified
And join the Assembly of States in your state.
jordan holmes
That's a good thing.
unidentified
And then you become a state national or a state citizen.
jordan holmes
Oh, of course.
unidentified
There are rumors that Trump is a state national.
And he's already gone through.
He knows and understands all of this.
And what we have to do, we talk about seceding.
We don't need to secede our states.
We need to secede ourselves one at a time and move over to the land jurisdiction.
And what we're doing right now is thanks to Judge Anna von Reitz.
She's done all the paperwork so that we now, right now, are repopulating the original Constitution of 1787.
dan friesen
So I think Anna von Reitz, if I recall correctly, is somebody that I've heard Carrie Cassidy bring up quite a bit.
So there's a nice little overlap there of that.
Sure.
unidentified
Yeah, can I for people?
jordan holmes
I wrote in a scream.
I wrote in a scream.
dan friesen
Yeah, people who aren't here in the room can't tell those are big old letters.
jordan holmes
Those are big old letters.
dan friesen
What do we got there?
jordan holmes
He just basically said, all right, that the president that they love most is not an American citizen.
dan friesen
Yeah, that is a problem with his theory.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But that's because sovereign citizens are higher up.
jordan holmes
So you're going to come at me with Obama wasn't born here, and then you're going to tell me that your president isn't even American?
Well, get the fuck out of here.
dan friesen
Super American.
Constitution of 1870.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure, sure.
dan friesen
That's all just QAnon sovereign citizen shit.
It's a bummer.
jordan holmes
It's a real bummer.
It's amazing to me how important paperwork is to these people and how unimportant reading is.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's fun too because you got Dave here, Coach Dave, on the bus, and he's having this guy explain how you become a citizen of the land.
jordan holmes
Yes.
You got to take your away from the Admiralty.
dan friesen
And he's not like, I don't know about that, man.
He's like, oh, bro.
I can't wait to have you on the show again and talk more about this.
What?
jordan holmes
So good.
dan friesen
But look, this guy knows what he's talking about.
I think he went to law school.
unidentified
So our whole movement, I believe, is going to be about teaching people how to get out of the jurisdiction of the Admiralty law and the law of the sea and the Vatican, which is the law of the air.
Law comes from L-A-W-W, land, air, water.
That's where the word law comes from.
The three jurisdictions.
The Pope figured this out in 1300.
That's who we're living under right now.
The Vatican.
The same post is under that.
The only way to get out of it is to go and land and soil and get back under the Constitution of 1787.
dan friesen
Sure.
Land, air, water.
That's what law means.
jordan holmes
Are we doing this?
Are we doing this, Dan?
We're not.
The Vatican is the law of the air.
dan friesen
Right.
And then I think the British Empire is the land or the law of the sea.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Maritime.
It's under British common admiralty law.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure.
dan friesen
And then I guess the land is just everybody.
jordan holmes
The land.
dan friesen
The land is free.
jordan holmes
The land is just the Constitution of the European.
dan friesen
Freedom.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
But not the United States individual states.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Because we're also the articles.
dan friesen
Does this apply to people in other countries?
Like the law of the country?
jordan holmes
No, the Vatican owns their heir, so they don't have any choice.
See, the Pope figured this out in 1300.
Figured what out?
That law means land, air, and water.
dan friesen
In what language?
It's not spelled that way.
All right.
jordan holmes
Fire.
Water.
Air.
Long ago.
My father.
He's talking about the avatar.
dan friesen
Talking about elements.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
J.K. Simmons.
Fantastic.
dan friesen
Elements equal jurisdictions.
jordan holmes
You ever fuck with Avatar, Dan?
No.
Not the Cameron bullshit.
dan friesen
I'm talking about young people.
jordan holmes
Young boy.
Young boy with air powers.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
I watched the James Cameron movie because I was brought along to it by friends who insisted I go see it because they like Firefox.
No, wait, that's Serenity.
jordan holmes
Serenity was great.
dan friesen
But I also saw Avatar because it was too big to not see.
jordan holmes
Wow.
dan friesen
You know, it was one of those things that, like, you gotta.
unidentified
You didn't see the Rise of Skywalker.
dan friesen
I'm an adult.
What a joke.
There was a time when that came out.
I was of the age where it's like, yeah, you gotta see this.
unidentified
Well, sure.
dan friesen
People are gonna be talking about it.
Yes.
And I don't care about that now.
I think I did see The Last Skywalker.
jordan holmes
You did not.
dan friesen
I think I did.
jordan holmes
When?
When?
Tell me when.
What did you get it on DVD, Dan?
dan friesen
Yeah, I went to the Red Box.
No, I think I did see it, though.
We'll deal with this later.
unidentified
Okay.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Anyway, there's three jurisdictions.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
We're all under.
Wait, he's saying that we're under maritime law, but apparently the Vatican, that's air law.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I would like him.
That's avian law.
Before we go any further in any conversation with this guy, I want to know exactly the laws of air.
I need to know what air law is that the Pope has control over.
dan friesen
Yeah.
If I were to go any further in this conversation with this guy, which I wouldn't, here's how it would go.
What's over there?
jordan holmes
And I just walk.
dan friesen
I had a friend who really perfected that move, like pretending that he saw something somewhere else and just would walk off.
I really admired the hell out of his ability to get away from things.
jordan holmes
You know, I've done that.
I've done that many times.
You know, you get into those party conversations where it's four people and the three of them start having a conversation and you're like, I want to jump in, but it's just not going to happen.
You look over and you're like, oh my God.
And then you just walk away.
You saw a friend.
dan friesen
Yeah.
I think the key to pulling that off perfectly is that you have to end up somewhere that's not in direct eyeshot of the people you just saw.
jordan holmes
Sure, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Because otherwise you're just going to be milling around over there so much.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
dan friesen
Anyway, Dave has heard that there's a lot to be worried about.
There's a lot of threats on the ground.
There's like Antifa and what have you.
Right, right.
He's not worried about any of that shit.
unidentified
I'm not worried that they may have bricks down there that they're going to throw at us.
I'm not worried that they're going to shoot Pepper Smarry at us.
I'm not worried that the governor's going to call in this person and the mayor's going to call in this man.
I'm not worried about any of that stuff.
We're at war.
We've gone to war.
coach dave daubenmire
We're prepared for war.
unidentified
Spiritual war.
But if the physical war breaks out, there's going to be four million of us.
They better have a bunch.
They better have a bunch of people because this is a boiling.
Here's a true work of authority.
The mayor of DC has no military authority, not over the National Guard or anything.
All she has is DC police.
And guess what?
DC police will step.
They will step aside.
There's too many of them.
dan friesen
So this doesn't look good in hindsight.
unidentified
Welly, welly, welly, welly.
dan friesen
These sort of conversations certainly seem to be pre.
What would you call that?
What's the right word I'm looking for?
jordan holmes
Premeditated?
Is that a way to go?
dan friesen
I mean, it's very much like, oh, you know, like, if you accept.
Prescriptive?
If you accept the idea that, like, oh, they kind of were planning on fucking storming the Capitol, you'd kind of be like, oh, yeah, this is the kind of conversation you'd expect to hear before that.
jordan holmes
Before you storm a capital.
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Hey, look, hey, we don't want any trouble, but if there's trouble, there's four million of us and the cops are on our side.
jordan holmes
Right, right.
If the Capitol was the Constitution, these assholes are the preamble.
dan friesen
Yeah, preamble was probably one of the words I was trying to look for, and I just couldn't figure out a way to make it work grammatically.
So there's these Capitol police.
Sure.
And there's not enough of them, man.
There's just not enough.
There's not enough to stop Dave.
unidentified
Hey, Dale, how many policemen would you say there are in DC?
I'm just going to throw out a number, thousand?
Yeah, you know, listen, Jefferson Parish, Jefferson Parish, we have 1,500 officers, not just officers, people who work in the desk and detectives and everything.
And that's for a population of a half a million people.
I don't necessarily know they even have a thousand in D.C. Here's my point: Do they have enough to push back?
What if 500,000 people said they'd had enough of it?
What if just 10%?
What if 200,000 people said they had enough and decided they were going to storm the Capitol building?
I don't know if they're going to.
I don't know if they're going to.
What if that were to happen, folks?
We don't have any idea what might break loose here.
Now, none of us want violence.
None of us are advocating violence, but the truth of the matter is there's violence all around it.
The Bible says that the kingdom of God suffers violence from the days of John the Baptist until now.
The kingdom of God has suffered violence, and violent men have taken up by force.
See, listen, it's not the violence, it's the force.
They're forcing us to take vaccinations.
They're forcing us to close our shops.
They're forcing us to not travel.
They're forcing us to not go visit our parents and nursing homes.
They're forced.
Do you understand this?
dan friesen
It's the same argumentation style that you hear from Alex.
Like, we don't want trouble.
We don't want any kind of violence.
But all violence that could be seen as offensive is secretly defensive because they want to give me a vaccine.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's not great to hear this from someone who's presumably a religious leader.
jordan holmes
I would argue that spreading a disease is violence, Dan.
Offensive violence.
dan friesen
There's an interesting argument you could make with that.
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And it seems like they are doing it.
dan friesen
I would actually maybe.
unidentified
Hmm.
dan friesen
Yeah, you'd want to probably have some qualification for like negligence.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure.
dan friesen
Or something.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Unless you're spitting on people.
And then it's then you're out of line.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
If you're aware that wearing a mask can save somebody else's life and you're like, I'm never wearing a mask, you have now committed violence.
dan friesen
Yes, but how do you prove that the person actually?
jordan holmes
You're your own libertarian nonsense.
No, yeah, fuck off.
dan friesen
But you would have to then prove that the person is aware that the masks help.
They believe that and are choosing to not do it.
Because the denial could be strong.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure.
I don't know if I care about denying.
dan friesen
You may not.
The court might, though.
jordan holmes
The court might, but it's kind of like a math problem.
Like, I don't care if you think that math doesn't work.
It still does.
So you have to live by math.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
You know, fair enough.
dan friesen
So they spend some more time on this bus.
The reception gets bad.
And then it goes to the guy in the studio.
And when I say studio, I mean his office.
Sure, sure.
And he's another preacher, and he just has some people pray and stuff.
And I don't care.
Great.
Then later, they arrive at the Capitol.
There's at least one picture I saw that was of someone in a past the salt shirt.
So they were around.
All right.
jordan holmes
And the D-heads is what I'm calling somebody who wears a past the salt shirt.
Hey, would you pass the salt?
dan friesen
So we get to the next day now, the seventh.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And Dave comes on his show, and there's a little bit of reflection going on.
coach dave daubenmire
We are over the target.
And as Alex Jones said about 25 years ago, it's an info war.
It's an information war.
And boys and girls, we are a dead center target in this information war.
Not just us.
I'm not trying to, you know, I'm just a fly on the butt of an elephant.
I understand that.
But I'm going to tell you something.
We are over the target, like we've never been.
dan friesen
So he's just using Alex language.
He's directly referencing Alex.
This dude's just a fucking info warrior.
jordan holmes
Man, I don't want to be killed by a bunch of cowards like this.
dan friesen
I don't like the idea that this extremist political anti-communist ideology is being so successfully marketed under the veil of religion.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, I really, really think that that's terrifying.
jordan holmes
I would rather be killed in a fight with ISIS because ISIS is at least like, I want to kill you.
You know, none of this wishy-washy cowardice from the conservatives.
Just like, I don't want any violence, but I'm going to have to kill you guys.
And then when violence does happen, whoa, whoa, whoa, guys.
We didn't ever want.
At least ISIS is like, I'm going to kill you.
dan friesen
There is, there is a, you know, terrorist groups generally do take responsibility for their actions.
jordan holmes
For shit, they didn't even do sometimes.
coach dave daubenmire
Well, interestingly, Dave has a very similar take on things after the fact that his hero, Alex Jones, does part of the information war that's going on, and here's going to be your greatest battle and my greatest battle is you're going to have to convince the people that you come in contact with that what happened yesterday in Washington, D.C. wasn't this.
This wasn't what happened.
The storming of the Capitol building, the infiltration of anti-FOB BLM as part of that infiltration.
Yes, Patriots did break through.
They did break through and get into the Capitol building.
Yes, but can I tell you something?
Are you listening to me?
They let us.
Folks, listen to me.
They let us break through.
They let the Patriots break through and then embedded BLM in the group.
And all the wicked, crazy stuff that happened inside that Capitol building, that was not done by Patriots, folks.
That was not done.
dan friesen
I love the idea that he's saying on the seventh, hey, it gets suspicious that the cops let them through when the morning sucks.
jordan holmes
The cops are going to let us through.
dan friesen
Yeah.
It's very strange.
It implies a real change of perspective about, oh, this actually happened.
Oh, shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I just see that so universally with these folks that you look in on.
I did not expect.
We got to find a way to not take responsibility for whoever shit on that desk.
jordan holmes
If anybody, if anybody comes at me with like, listen to any conservative in the media now, it's just no.
What are you talking about?
Don't, don't even.
Like, I can't engage with it.
This was the moment where it's like, no matter what you do, you caused this and then you disavowed it.
So go fuck yourself.
You're a coward.
A complete coward.
You're worse than ISIS.
dan friesen
It's been quite a ride for you in comparing things to ISIS.
jordan holmes
I'm enjoying it.
They were good.
They were as evil as ISIS for a while.
dan friesen
It was equivalent.
jordan holmes
Now they're worse.
unidentified
Wow.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's bad.
I think that one of the things that I found when I was looking at this was, first of all, I find Dave Dobbenmeyer incredibly boring.
jordan holmes
Oh, he's bad.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And I don't know.
Maybe it's been a long time since I've looked at any of his actual shows or anything.
It just struck me as like, you're just taking notes from InfoWars shows and preaching with it.
You're just doing that.
It's stupid.
It's almost like the idea of covering his show actually feels kind of like drinking backwash.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You know, like it's just, I'm not interested.
Yeah.
But he was there.
Sure.
And this is an interesting set of circumstances, an interesting set of behaviors.
The, like, hey, Trump is telling us all to get on the field, you know, like a, well, I mean, the three jurisdictions thing.
That's just good, clean fun.
jordan holmes
That's fantastic.
That's fantastic.
dan friesen
They're literally talking about the possibility of storming the Capitol and how the police will stand down.
There's not enough of them.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
And then the next day, there's a conspiracy afoot.
jordan holmes
It's somebody else's fault.
dan friesen
They're trying to set us up.
jordan holmes
No, we're not.
dan friesen
The police let us in.
And when they let us in, they embedded antifungers.
unidentified
We're so strong, but we're the victim.
dan friesen
It's really dumb.
jordan holmes
Bunch of fucking cowards.
dan friesen
It's very dumb.
And perhaps so was this.
jordan holmes
That's what I'm saying.
I want a higher quality of criminal.
dan friesen
I think I've said that before.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
It's just that whole thing of just like, really?
This is who we're up against?
Come on, man.
dan friesen
It is.
jordan holmes
This is the shittiest fascism I've ever seen.
dan friesen
Yeah, I bet all of them have been disappointing in the moment.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Well, that's probably true.
dan friesen
I bet over time they take on more of a serious character.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I imagine if I went and went back and watched a serious documentary about Mussolini, they'd be like, look at this fucking idiot.
What are we talking about with this guy?
How did he take over?
dan friesen
Yeah, probably.
jordan holmes
Yeah, probably.
dan friesen
Anyway, Jordan, I apologize that we don't have a full episode for today.
unidentified
Absolutely.
jordan holmes
This is a bottle episode.
Battlestar Galactica is over.
dan friesen
It's like that breaking bad episode with the fly.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
But the fly is a coach.
jordan holmes
The fly is just Dave Daubenbyer whispering, like, hey, man, it's going to happen.
unidentified
Would you pass the salt?
dan friesen
It's just a fly asking for salt.
All right.
Well, we'll be back on Wednesday with a full-on Alex Jones episode.
But until then, Jordan, we have a website.
jordan holmes
We do have a website.
It's KnowledgeFight.com.
dan friesen
Yep.
We're also on Twitter.
jordan holmes
We are on Twitter.
It's at KnowledgeJones Government, that go to Bed, Jordan.
dan friesen
We're also on Facebook.
jordan holmes
We are on Facebook.
Susan, if you could please find a local charity or bail fund in your area to help out people doing God's work.
dan friesen
Yeah, we'll be back.
But until then, I'm Neo and Leo.
I'm DZX Clerk.
I'm Daryl Rundis.
I'm the juiciest Ice Cube.
unidentified
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
Hello, Alex.
jordan holmes
I'm a first-time caller.
unidentified
I'm a huge fan.
jordan holmes
I love your work.
