Today, Dan and Jordan discuss how Alex Jones came into studio on Valentine's Day, in the middle of a horrible winter storm, for basically no reason, other than to be a big dumdum.

Hello, Alex. | |
| I'm a first time caller. | ||
| I'm a huge fan. | ||
| I love your room. | ||

|
I love you. | |
| Hey, everybody! | ||
| Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| We're a couple dudes like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| Oh, indeed we are, Dan. | ||
| Jordan! | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| I have a quick question for you. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| What's your bright spot today? | ||
| My bright spot today, Jordan, is Panino's Pizza in Chicago, Illinois. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I used to live fairly close to them, and it was sort of a bit of a thing where I'd go there and get a slice pretty regularly. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Like it. | ||
| Good. | ||
| Slice. | ||
| Good. | ||
| It's good stuff. | ||
| I have moved since then. | ||
| I no longer live near Bonino's. | ||
| But I did see that there was a place that will go nameless, because I don't actually remember what the name of the place was. | ||
| But there was a by-the-slice pizza place fairly near my house. | ||
| I was walking in the terrible snow a couple days ago, and I saw this, and I said... | ||
| It's tough to walk out there. | ||
| You built up a hunger. | ||
| I said I would like a slice. | ||
| See, this is as good as Bonino's. | ||
| Terrible. | ||
| Not as good as Paninos. | ||
| So my bright spot is remembering how much better Paninos was. | ||
| No, a couple days after that, I ordered Paninos because I was pissed. | ||
| I'll see you at hell! | ||
| Yeah, so I ordered it and it was as good as I remember. | ||
| Shout out, Paninos. | ||
| That's fantastic. | ||
| Congratulations to Paninos for making good pizza. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| How about you? | ||
| My bright spot, Dan, is I finally tried out Hades. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| The game. | ||
| Fantastic! | ||
| Really, really fun! | ||
| It's nice, and it's got a great mechanic. | ||
| I like the mechanic of the, like, you're supposed to die. | ||
| You die, and that's part of the story, and it's like, it's that, like, Sisyphean trapped in the sense of... | ||
| And you get to talk to Sisyphus, too. | ||
| Yeah, exactly! | ||
| It's very fun. | ||
| It's a nice little take on mythology. | ||
| I enjoy it. | ||
| I don't know if I have made this complaint, but I have one complaint about the game. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's that? | |
| And that is, I don't think Hephaestus is in it. | ||
| I have not seen Hephaestus yet. | ||
| Hephaestus is the reason. | ||
| Hephaestus should be making all of these buffs that you're getting. | ||
| He should. | ||
| He's the armor of the gods. | ||
| Yeah, that's a good point. | ||
| Yeah, very glaring omission. | ||
| That is a huge one. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anyway, that was one thing I just thought when I was playing it. | ||
| But yeah, it's a lot of fun. | ||
| I'm glad you enjoyed it. | ||
| It's a good time. | ||
| I recommended it to another friend and she enjoyed it quite a bit as well. | ||
| Yeah, it was delightful. | ||
| Seems like it's a beloved game. | ||
| It's a good game! | ||
| Seems like all the good reviews are merited. | ||
| Do you know what it makes me? | ||
| It reminds me of an old, old PlayStation 1 game called Azure Dreams. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And it was that same kind of infinite dungeon crawler that would populate a new dungeon for you every time. | ||
| But you would capture... | ||
| It was like a mixture of Pokemon and that same kind of Hades dungeon crawling. | ||
| That sounds fun. | ||
| Fantastic game. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was that weird kind of PS1 game, though, where it was like, also there's a dating simulator for some reason. | ||
| You know, you're like, I don't need this, guys. | ||
| I've heard the relationship system in Hades compared to that as well. | ||
| Really? | ||
| A dating simulator kind of thing. | ||
| Oh, yeah, that's a good point. | ||
| Because you have to give gifts to all those people. | ||
| You do give gifts, that's right. | ||
| And boost your relations. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that opens up different... | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| No, then that's almost exactly what it is. | ||
| They remade Azure Dreams a very weird PlayStation 1 game. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| You don't really... | ||
| Anyway, Jordan, today we have an interesting episode to go over. | ||
| We're going to be talking about Valentine's Day 2021. | ||
| I was even ready for it that time. | ||
| I was like so prepared. | ||
| I was hoping I could distract you by not saying the date. | ||
| The holiday. | ||
| Talking about February 14th. | ||
| Sunday, Alex has a special... | ||
| Every year he does a special Valentine's Day episode. | ||
| I just love it. | ||
| Well, it's a family show and, you know... | ||
| I'm being completely facetious. | ||
| This is not a special Valentine's Day show. | ||
| I'm fairly certain that I wasn't being serious about it being a family show. | ||
| So, we have some interesting, fun things to talk about. | ||
| First, let's say thank you to some folks who signed up and are supporting the show. | ||
| Oh, that's fun. | ||
| So, first, sign me up to be a globalist. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy walk globalist. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| Next, Molly M. Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thanks, Molly! | ||
| Next, Ren D. That's W-R-E-N. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thanks, Ren! | ||
| That's a great name. | ||
| It is. | ||
| That's a classic, classic name. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Also classic, Truth Quark. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thanks, Truth Quark. | ||
| Classic. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| Next, Michael. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thanks, Michael! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you! | |
| And finally, Bill Walton's favorite tie-dyed t-shirt. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much, Bill Walton's favorite tie-dyed t-shirt. | ||
| Now, it's interesting, Jordan, because Austin right now is in the state of Texas. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Currently. | ||
| It has been for a while. | ||
| But right now, in the state of Texas, they're experiencing an incredible ice storm, and I hope everybody, all of our listeners in that part of the world are staying safe. | ||
| It ain't no joke, from what I understand. | ||
| It's not for you guys. | ||
| We're meant for that. | ||
| That's what we're here for. | ||
| Even us, that'd be a challenge. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah. | ||
| No, it's not fun. | ||
| No. | ||
| And so Alex decided... | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| I'm coming into the studio. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fuck it! | |
| Yeah! | ||
| So he does come in for a Sunday show on Valentine's Day when he could have very easily done it remotely, not done the show, have Harrison Smith ramble about white genocide. | ||
| No problem. | ||
| Everybody been fine. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So here's an out-of-context drop from today's show. | ||
| So here's the video of the granny being thrown off the cliff. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| All right. | ||
| Glad you came into work. | ||
| I assume that wasn't a Walker, Texas Ranger kind of situation here. | ||
| No. | ||
| So Alex came in, and he starts off the show as anyone would if they had just come into work driving through chaos, and that is complaining about driving through chaos. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| All right. | ||
| This has got to be an incredible show today because I've grown up, born in Texas, and I've grown up in people not being able to drive with ice on the roads because it only happens a few times a year. | ||
| But I've never seen anything like this. | ||
| This was road warrior level. | ||
| I probably saw a hundred wrecked cars on the way here, smash signs, glass. | ||
| Firefighters trying to block major roads. | ||
| I wouldn't even be here if I hadn't just gone ahead and gone around them because I was driving my wife's all-wheel vehicle. | ||
| My favorite thing about this... | ||
| Wait, wait, wait. | ||
| I need more explanation for how he went around him if his next line is with an all-wheel drive vehicle. | ||
| We'll get to it in a second. | ||
| He does talk more about that. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But I do love the idea that he's starting off the show with, like, this better be a fucking great show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This has got to be worth it. | |
| I just drove you the road warrior. | ||
| This has got to be worth it. | ||
| Yeah, so you're asking about this car situation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Little did you know he would just talk more about this. | ||
| And this basically turns into... | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Oh, I tried to leave the house in my truck, and it was not four-wheel drive, and that truck isn't, and I had to turn around and go back, and I got her car. | ||
| That's the only good thing that German car is good for, but she wanted an Audi. | ||
| And, man, I was just going, because I live in Westlake, up these big hills, everybody else is wrecked. | ||
| I mean, just wrecked. | ||
| I saw 300 wrecked cars, not 100. | ||
| It was, I mean, just up that one hill is like 10 wrecked cars. | ||
| A thousand wrecked cars! | ||
| And I'm just like, going, I mean, I'm not trying to do an Audi commercial here, ladies and gentlemen, but my lord. | ||
| That vehicle's incredible. | ||
| And there were all these other four-wheel drive cars just wrecked everywhere. | ||
| Range Rovers are all-wheel drive. | ||
| They were wrecked. | ||
| Subarus wrecked everywhere. | ||
| That Audi was like just a robot on rails through black ice 20 miles to the office. | ||
| Unbelievable. | ||
| But a lot of people died in Texas. | ||
| It's really sad. | ||
| Jesus Christ! | ||
| Tonal shift. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That sounds sincere. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| A lot of people died. | ||
| Audi's great, but a lot of people died because they didn't buy an Audi. | ||
| I'm not making a car commercial, but if you don't buy an Audi, you're gonna die. | ||
| About a minute of rambling about our greatest wife's car is leading into going out to break, reminding you that there have been fatalities, and there have, but that's... | ||
| That's fucked up. | ||
| Yeah, it's a little uncouth. | ||
| Yeah, it makes me feel bad for making fun of something that's awful that he did, and now I feel like... | ||
| One degree removed from being an awful person. | ||
| Yeah, I think that's what we do, though. | ||
| We live in that shame of being one step removed. | ||
| Yeah, that's fair. | ||
| So, I wanted to cover this episode, number one, because it's Valentine's Day, and number two, because this is the point at which Alex would know that Trump had been acquitted. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| He did a special report on Saturday, which I tried to watch a bit of, but it was mostly him talking about vaccines, and I got really bored. | ||
| She wanted to hear about his take on the impeachment. | ||
| Because he had said it was a setup. | ||
| He said this whole trial was a sham, and it was all just set up to get Trump. | ||
| So now what happens whenever it worked out the way that we all knew it was going to? | ||
| Well, I think Alex has a, I mean, it's bullshit, but he has actually a pretty decent spin, I think. | ||
| All right. | ||
| We have the insane trial of the president that they suddenly ended. | ||
| You had three days, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 10 hours a day of total lies against the president, 30 hours of garbage. | ||
| Three hours by his lawyers doing half a decent job, showing Democrats, saying I'm going to kill Trump, the vice president, we're going to burn everything down, and they had to put their tail between their legs and drop it because it was another giant fraud. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, I mean, that's not a terrible spin of, like, they showed all these videos of Democrats saying things, and then they had to quit him. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because having a conversation about, like, they weren't going to, I mean, they weren't going to vote to convict him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| And the fact that, how many Republicans voted with the Democrats? | ||
| Seven, I believe. | ||
| More than one is a crazy number. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Like, that was a pretty high. | ||
| Well, one of them was directly going to be murdered. | ||
| So there's that. | ||
| I would assume he would be a guaranteed vote to convince. | ||
| Romney's a lock. | ||
| I'm just saying that if you're going to be murdered, like I assume if Mike Pence was in the Senate, he would be like, yeah, I'm going to have to, no hanging for me. | ||
| You know, like that kind of feel. | ||
| I'd prefer not to acquit this. | ||
| And Alex doesn't want to talk about things like McConnell's comments about how Trump totally is responsible for this. | ||
| He didn't. | ||
| It was his fault. | ||
| But we have a constitutional argument. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because that just gets too messy. | ||
| That's so stupid. | ||
| I feel like you should be embarrassed if you even try and say they did a half good job. | ||
| You should be embarrassed. | ||
| That was really, really shameful stuff. | ||
| It was. | ||
| Although, you know, we learned a little bit about what happens in Philly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's true. | |
| We did learn a lot about Philadelphia. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I enjoyed the portion that you and I watched. | ||
| He was talking about Philly. | ||
| And then a different point, he said Philadelphia. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Yeah, that's good stuff. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's good stuff. | ||
| So, when you're, you know, a radio show host and you come in on Valentine's Day Eve through a... | ||
| A movie-like storm. | ||
| Sure, yes. | ||
| A perfect storm. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| You gotta cover the important stuff. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You gotta take care of the really important business. | ||
| This Audi. | ||
| We've got a lot. | ||
| We've got Saturday Night Live is on a jag. | ||
| They're on a roll. | ||
| More jokes about pedophilia not existing. | ||
| And more attacks about children being abused ritualistically. | ||
| Because I can tell you a large part of their writing staff are pedophiles and are devil worshippers. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I'm going to have to send a couple of texts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Steve! | |
| Steven! | ||
| I heard some disturbing news! | ||
| Alex Jones has informed me that that is a bit much. | ||
| So what's going on is that the last two weeks there have been QAnon jokes on Saturday Night Live. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| The first one was about the Super Bowl commercials. | ||
| And there was a commercial for QAnon where it's like, Papa John's Pizza, no sex trafficking in the basement. | ||
| Sorry, Democrats. | ||
| And then apparently this week, Kate McKinnon did a character where she was a witch, like a QAnon witch who was really interested in eating children. | ||
| You know... | ||
| I did an interview with Weekend Update. | ||
| And Alex is like, they're up there pretending this is the news. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's SNL, man. | ||
| He's very mad. | ||
| He's very mad. | ||
| Have you ever imagined for a second what the SNL cast that we grew up with would have done if QAnon was around then? | ||
| What is Chris Farley going to do about QAnon? | ||
| They're just not prepared for that kind of stuff. | ||
| That's just not in their wheelhouse. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't want Adam Sandler doing prank QAnon phone calls. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So that's important business. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Very important to talk about how SNL's making jokes about QAnon that Alex tries to misconstrue as them making jokes that pedophilia doesn't exist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Good job. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And other things he does are, you know, kind of distasteful, too. | ||
| I don't know how to say this, but I found this really repulsive. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Alex plays video... | ||
| Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight! | ||
| Alex plays video of the pile-up outside Fort Worth. | ||
| Oh, that's fucked up. | ||
| That giant 100-plus car pile-up. | ||
| That's fucked. | ||
| He plays video that someone captured from, like, the other lanes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so it's just playing the entire, like... | ||
| It's terrifying. | ||
| And there's no real value to it. | ||
| But Alex tries to pretend that there is. | ||
| But I want to give you some viewer discretion when we come back. | ||
| I don't show horrible tragedies to just show you a horrible tragedy because some people like a train wreck. | ||
| I see this. | ||
| I was shown this on Friday by the crew. | ||
| I didn't know after 24 hours of this stuff happening up by Fort Worth in Dallas. | ||
| Of what really happened. | ||
| I've seen the helicopter footage of a couple hundred cars all piled up. | ||
| We come back, I'm going to show you what really happened. | ||
| From someone on the ground when it happened, up close. | ||
| I've never seen anything in a Hollywood movie like this one. | ||
| Cars are crashing and flipping and exploding. | ||
| Wait till you see on the ground the actual pileup. | ||
| And the reason I'm going to play it will be explained when we come back. | ||
| So viewer discretion advised because people were dying. | ||
| Seven people died on the footage you're about to see. | ||
| And I'm showing it to save some lives and to illustrate something. | ||
| Okay, let's stop right there. | ||
| We're not going to be on air in a year. | ||
| And you backed us last year. | ||
| I told you that last year. | ||
| You came through. | ||
| We made it this year. | ||
| A little bit in the black. | ||
| Just don't do it. | ||
| A little bit to be able to keep our projects going. | ||
| You don't have to. | ||
| A little bit to fund some other secret projects we're working on. | ||
| Gosh, I could do a lot better if I had more money. | ||
| I'm not mentioning it. | ||
| You're amazing. | ||
| You're incredible. | ||
| I'm about to show you footage of seven people dying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I need money to stay on air. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This was repulsive. | ||
| That is fucked. | ||
| I was shocked by the sort of... | ||
| The gross coldness. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The cynicalness of this. | ||
| And when he was saying, I'm gonna show you what really happened, I was like, are you trying to say there's a conspiracy here? | ||
| He wasn't. | ||
| There is no real value to this unless he wants to turn into a road safety show. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And then, it's still a little bit, first of all, too soon. | ||
| I don't think you could... | ||
| Use this footage to illuminate any particular finer points of hazardous driving. | ||
| It was just like, there is no reason to play this other than shock value or something. | ||
| It's offensive. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it's nakedly exploitative and macabre in a way that makes you... | ||
| It's hard not to think that he gets some sort of weird fucked up. | ||
| You know the people who watched Faces of Death, where you're like, there's something that you get out of this that I'll never understand. | ||
| I just won't be there for you. | ||
| Like that kind of thing. | ||
| Yeah, and it's a deal breaker. | ||
| Yeah, it's real bad. | ||
| So he said that there's a reason, and it's going to become clear next segment. | ||
| And this next clip kind of is him expressing what that reason is. | ||
| But I would say, one, this reason is stupid. | ||
| That's the same vibes. | ||
| And second, the connection that he's trying to make, you don't need to watch the video to get. | ||
| I'm showing you footage of Dallas, Texas, a live shot there from top of one of the tallest buildings. | ||
| You can see it is an icy wasteland. | ||
| No one on the streets. | ||
| Now, if you're in Chicago or you're in New York, you laugh at that. | ||
| You say, hell, we drive all the time. | ||
| Well, we're not used to it only happens once or twice a year, and hundreds of people die statewide when it unfolds. | ||
| And that's a teaching moment. | ||
| Americans haven't been under a Hitler. | ||
| They haven't been under a Stalin or a Mao or a Fidel Castro or a Hugo Chavez. | ||
| So what he's trying to illustrate with playing this video is these people in Texas aren't used to ice driving, and so there's a giant pileup. | ||
| Much like Americans aren't used to dealing with a Hitler or a Stalin. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And the tyranny, and therefore we're metaphorically gonna have a pileup. | ||
| Now, you don't need to watch that video to make that metaphor at all. | ||
| There's absolutely no reason. | ||
| It doesn't add to your understanding of the metaphor. | ||
| You could just say it. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| And also, what about fucking Obama? | ||
| What about Bill Clinton? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| They were fine. | ||
| They were no big deal. | ||
| They weren't working for the devil yet. | ||
| I think they were, according to him. | ||
| He wasn't comfortable enough talking about it. | ||
| He didn't remember that they were also presidents. | ||
| He was trying to pretend he was serious back then. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That's not good. | ||
| No, I'm not like one of those people who says that everybody's the devil. | ||
| I'm not like David Icke, who will become my best friend in ten years. | ||
| Anyways, we've had about four devil presidents in my time, and all of those, we've never even had to deal with anything new like a Joe Biden. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I just think it's... | ||
| The most tenuous connection to make in order to justify playing this video. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I don't respect the decision at all. | ||
| I think it's disgusting. | ||
| And Alex even knows that. | ||
| This is on the ground, in the other lane. | ||
| For radio listeners. | ||
| Horrible footage. | ||
| You're lucky you're not seeing this. | ||
| 18-wheeler, 50 miles an hour. | ||
| You're lucky you're not seeing this? | ||
| It gets worse. | ||
| One's going 70 in a minute. | ||
| Alex is saying you're lucky you're not seeing this to the radio audience. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| But he's... | ||
| I know! | ||
| You could just not... | ||
| Everybody could be lucky. | ||
| We could all be lucky right now. | ||
| I would like to be lucky. | ||
| Don't be like, you're lucky you're not watching my show, you're just listening to it. | ||
| You don't have to do it. | ||
| It doesn't add anything. | ||
| It was just outrageous. | ||
| It's because he wanted to watch it. | ||
| I think you might be onto something. | ||
| It has to be something with... | ||
| That's personal. | ||
| I found that disgusting and unacceptable. | ||
| Much like Alex's thinking patterns. | ||
| Oh, that's fair. | ||
| So, he has decided that thousands are dead from the vaccine already. | ||
| When? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Well... | ||
| For what? | ||
| Thousands. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| He just says it, and it's true. | ||
| Okay, well, then I guess I will move on. | ||
| But you gotta know this. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It's actually probably 50 times higher than that. | ||
| It's probably 50 times higher. | ||
| And we've now confirmed that it is. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So, um... | ||
| I have a stack of news here where there are thousands of dead admitted. | ||
| And I think about 1 in 50 adverse reactions gets reported. | ||
| So if thousands are dead, that's 50 times bigger. | ||
| No one knows from the vaccines. | ||
| So can you identify just really quickly, on a surface level, the problem with that thinking? | ||
| No. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| I don't see any problem. | ||
| It's outrageous. | ||
| If there's some, then there's probably 50 times more. | ||
| That means it's proven. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| This is dumb. | ||
| I mean, like, if I were listening to a professor at a school, right, and I was in a lecture, and they said something like that, I would not trust them. | ||
| To teach the rest of the class. | ||
| I might withdraw. | ||
| Yeah, I wouldn't be real confident in a math class where they were like, okay, what's one plus one? | ||
| But remember, one is probably 50, or it could be more, or it could be fewer. | ||
| No one knows. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| And I might be making up the one. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| That one is the devil! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yikes. | ||
| Yeah, not good. | ||
| So that's the kind of thinking that Alex brings to the table. | ||
| Just making assumptions and then multiplying things by whatever numbers he chooses. | ||
| Yeah, whatever he feels good about today. | ||
| And then the other thing he does is just make shit up like he does about this U.S. News and World Reports article. | ||
| Let's get to the good news first. | ||
| Because it's very, very important. | ||
| The McRib. | ||
| Pentagon touts vaccine administration rate amid concerns of widespread refusal. | ||
| U.S. News and World Report. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| It goes on to say that the vast majority of the troops are refusing the vaccine because it's voluntary. | ||
| They try a statistical manipulation. | ||
| They go, oh, but we did get a certain group that said they'd take it, and out of that group, 80-plus percent did take it. | ||
| So what do you do when the vast majority won't take it? | ||
| 98%. | ||
| You take the group that will take it, and then say, oh, 80-plus percent of them, 82 percent, did. | ||
| 82 percent. | ||
| That's the statistical game they play. | ||
| Alex absolutely has not read this article about the troops and vaccinations. | ||
| He's claiming that the article says that there's a subsection of troops, 82 percent of whom have received the vaccine. | ||
| That's the statistical game Alex claims this article is playing. | ||
| The stat of 82% is actually in reference to the percentage of vaccines the Pentagon has received that have been administered. | ||
| From the article, quote, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters the department has so far ordered more than one million doses and as of Thursday morning had received roughly 968,000. | ||
| Of those, 800,000, or about 82%, have been administered. | ||
| Almost 600,000 were first doses and more than 200,000 were first doses. | ||
| So they took... | ||
| Alex has just seen the number and made up... | ||
| So they took the small subset of people, otherwise known as the people who possibly could have gotten it, and they're manipulating those numbers to say that those people did get it. | ||
| And that the people outside of those numbers, well, they didn't get it. | ||
| No. | ||
| Alex has just skimmed the article, seen numbers, and written a story in his head about what those numbers mean. | ||
| This is what he does. | ||
| He's really, really bad at this. | ||
| I can't believe people actually take him seriously. | ||
| Yeah, he does seem to play Mad Libs and then search articles for, like, numbers to circle and be like, what if I put 82% here? | ||
| Yeah, oh, it's great, too, because if you watch the video, he's got, like, 82% underlined. | ||
| Of course he does! | ||
| Yes, that's exactly what he does! | ||
| He goes through articles and he just underlines the numbers. | ||
| No, I'm guessing Rob Dew did it, and then Alex saw the underlined 82%, and he's like, I gotta figure out what I think that means. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| What could that 82% be? | ||
| You gotta rip that. | ||
| Can't possibly read a sentence. | ||
| Can't be bothered to do that kind of work. | ||
| That's very hard. | ||
| Yeah, as he makes up some more shit about this article. | ||
| You just saw in U.S. News& World Report, I mean, the military, these evil people, I mean, you heard you can't trust them from Joe Biden. | ||
| They said pregnant women shouldn't take it because the British military said they shouldn't. | ||
| They were the ones that started it before the U.S. military. | ||
| British military said, yeah, pregnant women shouldn't take it. | ||
| We had a bunch of miscarriages. | ||
| Oh, oh, but you don't say that in U.S. News& World Report. | ||
| You just say the U.S. military, the rank and file, pulled that out of their ass, didn't you? | ||
| Pisses me off. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| The pregnancy stuff is something we covered on the past episodes. | ||
| I don't want to get too... | ||
| Bogged down in it here, but this is just another instance of Alex making more shit up about this article because he hasn't read it and he's just using it as a prop to get mad about. | ||
| If Alex had actually read the article, he would have found this quote from Air Force Brigadier General Paul Fredericks. | ||
| Quote, Are we seeing people who are declining to it? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I've had people say that for a variety of reasons. | ||
| They're pregnant, which is a very reasonable concern. | ||
| They want to talk to their doctor first. | ||
| Very reasonable concern. | ||
| So there are people who've said they don't want to get it. | ||
| This whole article is actually a big problem for Alex's narratives because he's been insistent that the vaccine is mandatory or it's gonna be mandatory, but the fact that the military is allowing enlisted persons to decide if they want to get it or not makes him have to change the subject. | ||
| Because the thing he was making his audience afraid about didn't happen, he now has to pivot to making it look like the enlisted persons who don't get the vaccine are somehow being maligned, which this article doesn't support. | ||
| He didn't read it. | ||
| No one listening is going to read it, so this technique works perfectly. | ||
| It's all just meaningless, though. | ||
| Might as well not to do this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And with the military, that thing is, you're... | ||
| Most people aren't going to look into it. | ||
| And for most people, I would imagine that there makes a certain sort of sense that, well, the military would be mandated to get it. | ||
| Because they're the military. | ||
| And that's the perception that Alex goes with, too. | ||
| And that's what you can... | ||
| Because most people wouldn't even follow up on that. | ||
| Especially not Alex's listeners. | ||
| They'd be like, yeah, the military's forced to do everything. | ||
| So, in this next clip, Alex claims to have some information that he does not produce, which means he's making it up. | ||
| I got so many adverse reaction death reports. | ||
| I got over 200 up right here in just the last three days in the U.S. alone. | ||
| They shoot old people up. | ||
| They're dead in 15 minutes in many cases. | ||
| I mean, folks, here's the thing. | ||
| I used to be worried about stuff because I wanted to win the fight. | ||
| I was worried about my family and everything. | ||
| Oh, things are so crazy now. | ||
| This ain't going to go on long. | ||
| Whatever's going on, whatever's happening, the number of people they're killing, whatever's going on, baby, we ain't never seen nothing like this. | ||
| This is big. | ||
| I thought they'd put something in there and kill you in five years. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| They're gonna kill your ass right now. | ||
| So, yeah, I mean, if you have these 200, why don't you talk about any of them? | ||
| It doesn't produce any of it. | ||
| I would argue that, I mean, you know, if you just say something and you don't prove it or demonstrate it at all, I can just ignore it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Especially something that, when tied to your other rhetoric, is, I guess, licensed to go murder whomever you want, right? | ||
| Because they're killing you in 15 minutes. | ||
| They're killing your grandma right now in 15 minutes, Dan. | ||
| You thought you were going to have a lovely five years to hold your grandmother's hand as she dies from the government murder vaccine. | ||
| But now you don't even have that much time. | ||
| The only comfort I really take is hoping that people who listen to this would ask themselves at some point... | ||
| Does Alex actually read the things he talks about and look into it? | ||
| And then that might erode public confidence in his dumb ass. | ||
| That could. | ||
| So a lot of the times when Alex is just rambling about something on air, it's something that our old friend Paul Joseph Watson has written. | ||
| And Paul has struck again. | ||
| Oh, Summit.News. | ||
| Links to BBC. | ||
| UK government could grant vaccine exemptions to ethnic minorities. | ||
| I heard this a few months ago on NPR. | ||
| Well, black people are dumb. | ||
| You know, we're liberals. | ||
| We can say that. | ||
| Did the UK say that? | ||
| They won't take shots. | ||
| They're like the U.S. military. | ||
| They're dumb. | ||
| You know, they just don't trust us. | ||
| And so we're going to have vaccine waivers for them, all right? | ||
| But they won't be able to leave their house or have a job. | ||
| You know how they are. | ||
| But white people, you're going to take it. | ||
| So show the black people not to be scared of you. | ||
| Roll up your sleeve and take your shot. | ||
| This is just a total attack by these criminals to cover up Jeffrey Epstein and all the corruption, the banking and the derivatives and the scams and the dollar implosion and the New World Order and the rigging and the cloning. | ||
| And so they just want to make the whole world hellish with masks on and checkpoints and passports so you forget all the crimes they committed and don't do anything about it. | ||
| That's a dumb plan. | ||
| It was a dumb, dumb plan. | ||
| Boy, it is hard not to think about what would have happened if you and all of your right-wing lunatic dumb-dumb friends had decided to take this whole fucking thing seriously way back in February of last year, Dan. | ||
| Well, I think they did. | ||
| Take it too seriously for a minute. | ||
| I apologize. | ||
| In March of last year. | ||
| It would have been interesting. | ||
| So, quick point, there's no link to the BBC in Paul's article. | ||
| There's a link to a story in The Spectator and one in Sky News. | ||
| The Sky News article says nothing about exemptions, but what Paul does is he cherry-picks a very minor side point in The Spectator article, which he then turns into his headline, because it has the potential to help boost white victimhood feelings. | ||
| This is an editorial column, and one of the concerns it raises with the idea of vaccine passports being required for travel is, according to this column, vaccine skepticism is higher in non-white communities in the UK. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It's really interesting how Paul works here. | ||
| Paul takes this quote from the Sky News article. | ||
| When such a system will even be announced publicly, let alone rolled out for use. | ||
| If you read the article, it does seem to be implied that the nervousness in question is about the vaccine's efficacy and not moving too fast. | ||
| However, here's how Paul uses that line. | ||
| Quote, No, no, they're connected. | ||
| Yeah, I do appreciate the real lack of effort that went into that for Paul. | ||
| You know, like, It is always heartwarming to know that some people wake up at nine, go to work, and they're done at ten. | ||
| And, you know, it's just nice to know that that's a dream that somebody can accomplish, you know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so transparent about it, too. | ||
| Yeah, that's not good. | ||
| Just very weak stuff. | ||
| Not good. | ||
| So, so far, I think we've seen just a real tragedy of a show. | ||
| Yeah, real sad. | ||
| We've seen Alex play a car crash. | ||
| Which is make-up nonsense about a couple articles. | ||
| I didn't drive through a snowstorm and an outstorm for no reason! | ||
| I'm gonna deliver the goods, cause I'm alive! | ||
| And I'm not backing down! | ||
|
unidentified
|
In the name of Jesus Christ, I declare war on Satan! | |
| Boo. | ||
| Good work. | ||
| Good work. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Four out of ten? | ||
| Four out of ten, maybe? | ||
| I would argue. | ||
| I would argue that this is a good teaching moment as well for Alex, alright? | ||
| Now, I understand that we're not gonna get anywhere with the coronavirus with him. | ||
| We're too far gone for that. | ||
| But, let me toss this out for you, Dan. | ||
| If there were fewer cars on the road during an ice storm, don't you think that would be better at preventing accidents? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So perhaps if Alex wanted to do his part to prevent accidents, he could have stayed home and done the show remotely. | ||
| Now, do you understand how those things might be a connected... | ||
| I understand the metaphor that you're making, but I'd also like to say he did come in. | ||
| See, now that is the problem that we're having all across the board! | ||
| It is. | ||
| It's an issue! | ||
| So when Alex comes back from break after... | ||
| That pathetic growl. | ||
| Very fake. | ||
| Very long. | ||
| Passionless growl. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He starts complaining about how people think that he supported Trump because it somehow was good for his business. | ||
| Now, I know that I've heard him a hundred times say that his traffic went up ridiculously once he started to get in with Trump and all that. | ||
| Yeah, it was really good for his business. | ||
| But no, no, no. | ||
| It hurt his business. | ||
| He was persecuted. | ||
| Alex was persecuted. | ||
| I got... | ||
| Persecuted for supporting Trump. | ||
| You got persecuted for supporting Trump. | ||
| But we're not losers because we supported President Trump. | ||
| He really won that election. | ||
| And I don't just say that. | ||
| If he lost, I'd say he lost. | ||
| I'd still say we have a Chinese agent in charge. | ||
| I don't lie to myself. | ||
| Maybe I did when I was 10 years old, but not since about then. | ||
| I want to know what's really going on. | ||
| That's what gives me an effectiveness in my life. | ||
| Read that U.S. News and World Report article, then. | ||
| That's a good starting point. | ||
| I would argue he really wants to know what's not going on. | ||
| Or he doesn't want to know what is going on. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He desperately needs not to know what's going on. | ||
| Desperately needs to avoid what's going on. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In order to make this work. | ||
| And it's good for business. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Which is why you support Trump. | ||
| Yeah, but there's bad news about Trump. | ||
| Well, it's bad news mixed with good news. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But it's all bad news. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But maybe it's good news. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Trump's basically bankrupt. | ||
| He's not just lost two billion. | ||
| I know the inside baseball. | ||
| They've got four or five thousand lawsuits against him. | ||
| But you know, he's not a retreated man. | ||
| He's actually stronger than ever. | ||
| And he understands that. | ||
| And if more men were like President Trump, if more men were like the supporters of this broadcast, and I mean that, we would be in this position. | ||
| But he understands leadership, like Colonel Travis did at the Alamo. | ||
| Drunkenly. | ||
| Travis knew he was going to be killed. | ||
| He sent that final letter. | ||
| He knew what was about to happen. | ||
| But he couldn't back down because he believed the cause and he signed on to it. | ||
| He wasn't suicidal. | ||
| I can't get out of here. | ||
| So much, like Jesus Christ said, he was willing to lay it down for others. | ||
| So that's what this comes down to. | ||
| Colonel Travis had nowhere else to go. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| He had nowhere else to go. | ||
| Trump may have nowhere else to go. | ||
| That's probably true. | ||
| So Trump put out a little statement about the impeachment acquittal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did he? | |
| Yeah, and Alex is kind of pissed off that no one's reading the full statement. | ||
| Ooh, isn't that nice? | ||
| So nowhere do you really see the president's statement. | ||
| You hear he made one, but you don't really... | ||
| It may be a line here, a line there. | ||
| Let's read the whole thing together right now. | ||
| It's beautiful what he said, and it's totally true. | ||
| National File wrote the story. | ||
| It's up at Infowars.com. | ||
| President Trump released a statement on second impeachment acquittal. | ||
| President Trump, through the office of the former president, released a statement celebrating his second Senate impeachment acquittal. | ||
| Damn right, he's the man in the arena. | ||
| Like, oh, look, he's under attack. | ||
| You're like, oh, Jones, you're under attack. | ||
| Oh, boy, they're coming after you. | ||
| What'd you think I did? | ||
| You think I did this not to be attacked? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You think I did this because I don't expect a war? | |
| You see, people don't get when I'm talking to our enemies. | ||
| You think I just want to line my pockets and sit around with you in some country club? | ||
| That I do think. | ||
| Yes, I agree with that one. | ||
| I feel good fighting evil. | ||
| I feel alive. | ||
| I feel strong. | ||
| You understand that? | ||
| You can put a gun to my head. | ||
| I'm not backing down, you dumb sons of bitches. | ||
| Back down on Shadowgate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They don't want to be with you. | |
| You back down on Shadowgate. | ||
| It's a real shame that no one's reading the Trump statement. | ||
| I do appreciate that. | ||
| It does appear that for most of the world, we're finally past having to deal with stuff he says on the daily. | ||
| And that's nice. | ||
| Everybody enjoys that. | ||
| I have personally some trouble whenever I see too much of him. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't want people that I would normally think of as saying... | ||
| To talk about him. | ||
| And not because I want exclusive domain over Alex Jones or anything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no, no. | |
| I just don't think it's worth it. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| This is a problem for us, too. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't value my own time, but I value other people's time. | ||
| Save yourselves. | ||
| We're too far gone. | ||
| This all means nothing. | ||
| Yeah, we're not the people who hide a zombie bite. | ||
| We have a zombie bite. | ||
| Kick us out of the mall. | ||
| We're not supposed to be there. | ||
| We'll be on the roof. | ||
| So, Alex does get around to reading the statement, and I will say I think he reads it in full, but he does add some commentary, and some of it is a little bit ridiculous. | ||
| No president has ever gone through anything like it, and that's true. | ||
| That's the key. | ||
| And it continues because our opponents cannot forget the almost 75 million people, way more than that, the greatest number ever for a sitting president who voted us just a few months ago. | ||
| And that's the thing. | ||
| Trump had victory. | ||
| It's there even though they lie about it, folks. | ||
| He won those other six states by half a point or less. | ||
| He won them by five points on average. | ||
| You understand that that's like way more than quadruple the number of victory numbers. | ||
| That's why they're crapping their britches. | ||
| That's more than quadruple the number of victory numbers. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Kind of feels a lot like that 50 times the amount of imaginary vaccine deaths. | ||
| Yeah, that doesn't sound like a reasonable number for someone to toss out there. | ||
| I feel like Alex doesn't know much about numbers. | ||
| Math? | ||
| No. | ||
| Anything? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Very little. | ||
| So, he gets to complaining about SNL. | ||
| And, of course, this leads into him yelling a bit about abuse towards children. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| I don't respect his position on the issue. | ||
| Man, I got a lot of complaints about SNL. | ||
| I think we can let that one go. | ||
| I don't think we need to worry about that. | ||
| No, there's really not any reason to engage. | ||
| So, that's one break. | ||
| And then he comes back. | ||
| And I want to tell you... | ||
| He's not killing time. | ||
| I would argue even mentioning SNL on your apparently political talk show would be killing time. | ||
| Well, that, you know, debatable if it's killing time. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| This next minute? | ||
| Definitely not. | ||
| It sounds like it's gonna be. | ||
| All right, ladies and gentlemen, Alex Jones here, back live. | ||
| Two more segments left, then Owen Troyer, if he can get here, in this snowstorm. | ||
| We can run a rebroadcast if he can, or just loop this show. | ||
| InfoWars Live, 6 to 8. Sunday Nights is coming up. | ||
| If Owen can get here, will you guys call him and see if he can get here? | ||
| Because it is just insane. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Who's hosting? | ||
| Ask him to come to work. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Tom Pappert. | ||
| Emperor Palpatine. | ||
| The son. | ||
| He's like a 100th generation clone of Palpatine. | ||
| As you know, that happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. | ||
| Tom Pappertine. | ||
| Oh, you don't know about Star Wars? | ||
| Great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great thousandth clone is going to be hosting the show after the broadcast. | ||
| You don't want to miss it. | ||
| All right, I have a lot of stuff to hit here. | ||
| In fact, I've got too much material. | ||
| It's not like I'm stalling out because I don't have information to cover here with 25 minutes left to go. | ||
| It's because... | ||
| This is surreal. | ||
| I mean, it is. | ||
| It's just surreal. | ||
| There's too much. | ||
| There's too much. | ||
| Gotta riff on Tom Papert's name being similar to Palpatine. | ||
| Yep, yep. | ||
| For a bit. | ||
| What a dick. | ||
| What a dick. | ||
| People dying outside. | ||
| People dying outside. | ||
| Let's see if Owen can get to work. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Good boss. | ||
| Good boss. | ||
| Love working for you, buddy. | ||
| Hey, I'll say, for what I would expect of Alex as a boss, the fact that he's like, we can go to rebroadcast if he can't get in. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| That almost seems like that's Alex being kind of a stand-up guy. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| You expect him to be like, no, he gets here now or he's fired. | ||
| Yeah, but that is also Scrooge being like, you get Christmas off. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I guess that's nice. | ||
| So he's not killing time. | ||
| Maybe he's killing some time. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So here's the video of the granny being thrown off the cliff. | ||
| So he plays this video that's a guy rolling a woman in a wheelchair through a park, and then it ends with him dumping her off a cliff. | ||
| So it is like that Conan O 'Brien Walker, Texas Ranger sketch. | ||
| It's, well, there's a little bit of, well, I mean, there's some racial undertones for Alex. | ||
| Oh, goddammit! | ||
| Look at her fighting back, that old white lady. | ||
| That old racist. | ||
| Get rid of her! | ||
| Yeah, there we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ah, good, liberal. | |
| Oh, liberal ooh. | ||
| This video is a campaign ad that was targeting Paul Ryan because he was gonna take away Medicare. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| This is at least a two-year-old ad that was against the GOP that Alex is playing as some kind of attack on... | ||
| Liberals or something? | ||
| Boo this man! | ||
| Boo! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I was like, this is surreal. | ||
| And Alex clearly hadn't watched it in advance. | ||
| He just knew it was an old lady getting dumped out of a wheelchair. | ||
| Because he looks pretty surprised when the thing comes up and it says, call Paul Ryan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. | ||
| Hold on now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoops. | |
| Hold on one second. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Alex, you know, he's in a bit of a fatalistic mood. | ||
| You know, you already said earlier that, you know, we might not be here next year. | ||
| Fuck that. | ||
| We might not be here tomorrow. | ||
| I got a final segment and a bunch of news I want to hit. | ||
| I'm loaded for bear on that. | ||
| But I'll just tell you all this, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| It's been a great pleasure to be on air with you. | ||
| I don't know how long I'm going to be here. | ||
| Things are so bad. | ||
| Things are moving so fast that I'm not even sure we'll be here tomorrow, the next week, or next year. | ||
| It's all up to God right now, but the bottom fell out. | ||
| And it's just, they're euthanizing the old people. | ||
| I mean, we've got probably 5% death rates at nursing homes that take the shot, and they've successfully covered it up in most areas. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That's a ridiculous number. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| Even then. | ||
| You can't just make up numbers like that. | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| But even then, what's the current... | ||
| Never mind. | ||
| I don't even know. | ||
| Just stop. | ||
| One of the things that I think is interesting is Alex is talking pretty fatalistically. | ||
| He's talking a lot of... | ||
| We're gone. | ||
| We're done. | ||
| It looks like Plan B is back in play. | ||
| Now, I won't say that I'm falling for it again, or anything like that, or thinking that he's talking for real, but I do need to tell you this, and I do think it's important. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| He's playing a lot of doors. | ||
| He's playing a lot of songs by the doors as bumper music. | ||
| So he's in a mood. | ||
| There's a lot of, like, this is the end, my friend. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know? | |
| A lot of those sorts of songs. | ||
| And it honestly... | ||
| Bums me out, mostly because I don't like The Doors, but also it has like such a scent, like the mood of the music that he's playing on a very regular basis. | ||
| Like multiple coming in from commercials per show. | ||
| Little Maudlin? | ||
| Yeah, or Doors songs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh boy. | |
| It has the tone of a dirge. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Let's see how this goes. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I just, I think... | ||
| I will say that if it doesn't end soon and he keeps playing the doors, I'm going to be pissed. | ||
| You know, one thing that I realized after the impeachment trial was that I don't think that's the appropriate punishment. | ||
| And I think the same thing for Alex. | ||
| I don't think the appropriate punishment is to, like, take him off the air. | ||
| I don't think the appropriate punishment for Trump is to take him away from politics or anything. | ||
| They should have no money. | ||
| Zero money. | ||
| Take their money. | ||
| If the impeachment trial was like, yeah, sure, run for office again with nothing, I got broke. | ||
| I think if people do... | ||
| Things that are civil penalties, then by all means they should be sued and what have you. | ||
| And I don't want what I'm about to say to be like, no, don't sue Alex. | ||
| Like people who he has wronged. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| But I think that I'm not particularly concerned with him having money or not having money. | ||
| I'm concerned about the impact that he can have. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| I think a far greater punishment for him is the illumination and explanation. | ||
| Of how bullshit everything he does is. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And how he's basically defrauding people with the posture of some guy who's against the system when all he really is is a fucking idiot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And I want to take away the thing he cares about most. | ||
| Memories of Colonel Travis. | ||
| I'll take those too. | ||
| If I could sue him for those, I would! | ||
| So, this show has been largely devoid of... | ||
| Meaning? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| SNL. | ||
| Well, and there's some more pop culture grievance. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Because Alex has found a video of Run DMC. | ||
| Run DMC? | ||
| The current? | ||
| Well, it's just DMC. | ||
| Current stars? | ||
| Run DMC? | ||
| They did a little song about the vaccine. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And Alex is not happy about it. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Run DMC members now put out this. | ||
| I guess the money must be good. | ||
| This type of garbage. | ||
| Then I got something even sicker. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| We got the vaccine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You got the vaccine. | |
| They got the vaccine. | ||
| We got the vaccine. | ||
| We can get back to normal. | ||
| Let me inform you. | ||
| Let's all get the vaccine. | ||
| Look, I think that there's plenty of valid criticisms about this song. | ||
| Do you mean that it's great? | ||
| That it's too good for the rest of us? | ||
| This isn't really my territory to critique too much. | ||
| But I will say that Alex was... | ||
| Far less critical of Mike Adams' rap career. | ||
| Yeah, that's fair. | ||
| That is fair. | ||
| His weird Ebola rap songs. | ||
| I mean, I respect what they're doing. | ||
| It's tough to hear an after-school special from DMZ. | ||
| It is tough to hear a PSA. | ||
| I just, I don't really know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It just seems weird that Alex would care that much. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because he's filling fucking time. | ||
| Right. | ||
| No, that's what I'm saying. | ||
| Yeah, he's got nothing. | ||
| Like, this is what he spends his other time with at the end of the show. | ||
| Bill Gates says he wants to depopulate you. | ||
| You're gonna take his shots. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| What if Bill Gates disappeared? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No problem. | |
| I will buy many gates and solve the problem. | ||
| Alex plays a video from a YouTube channel called Omsum, I believe. | ||
| Omsum. | ||
| And it's for kids. | ||
| It's an educational video for kids. | ||
| They have a big series of videos of what would happen if blank disappeared. | ||
| And so one of the recent ones is, what would happen if the year 2016 disappeared? | ||
| What would happen if numbers disappeared? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And it's like animations for kids. | ||
| And there's one about what would happen if Bill Gates disappeared. | ||
| And some of it is like, well, he's a big philanthropist. | ||
| A lot of that money would be gone. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure, sure. | ||
| And then the last one I think is like, Warren Buffett would miss his best friend. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like, why are you commenting on this stupid video for kids? | |
| Because that's the first thing that he can engage with on an equal footing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's embarrassing. | ||
| It's for kids. | ||
| I mean, I'm not even... | ||
| Look, I'm not gonna say that that doesn't have a kind of propaganda feel to it. | ||
| I'm not gonna say that making a video where you're like, what if Bill Gates was gone that didn't also include like, well, it's possible that his money would be shuffled back into the economy and put into places where maybe he doesn't have half of it. | ||
| Sure, he's a philanthropist, but maybe he's still got $20 billion and he should go fuck himself. | ||
| This might be complicated for children. | ||
| It might be a little bit difficult. | ||
| I accept the point that you're making. | ||
| This is not the critique that Alex has. | ||
| No, that's true. | ||
| Yeah, hey, I get what you're saying. | ||
| I hear it being a little bit weird, but it's also a giant public figure. | ||
| Yeah, totally. | ||
| No, of course. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I didn't watch the whole thing, but the stuff that Alex plays is just like, all right, this isn't like... | ||
| Bill Gates is our god. | ||
| Yeah, you know what? | ||
| If he went more like a Starship Troopers route, where he's like, doesn't it seem a little bit weird that we're making these kind of campaign videos that lionize these types of public figures when what we should be doing is talking about the issues and policies and stuff like that? | ||
| But even then, he's talking about a kid's video. | ||
| But then look at Trump ads. | ||
| No, I know. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| That argument cuts both directions. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| That's never stopped him before. | ||
| True. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I just, you know, I was feeling like there wasn't much happening here, but there was a lot happening. | ||
| You know, like, it was really disgusting. | ||
| The, you know, playing of the crash. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The going right into an ad after talking about... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| And so much of this vaccine nonsense is sad. | ||
| And, you know, it really makes you think that this is how he ends the show. | ||
| I will now go into an incredible gauntlet of frozen roads and Road Warrior level crashes to get back to my family. | ||
| And hopefully back tomorrow at 11 a.m. | ||
| Central for the live broadcast. | ||
| I want to thank the crew for a great job. | ||
| Coming up on the other side on the InfoWars Network stream is Tom Papert of NationalFile.com. | ||
| There's no reason that he needed to come in at all. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Tom Papert is in, you know, he's not in Texas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| Like, he does it remotely. | ||
| Alex could have just set up a little cam at his house. | ||
| Would have been hard. | ||
| No need. | ||
| No need. | ||
| This is all for nothing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| There's all the waste. | ||
| Just to get out of the house on Valentine's Day. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Oh, also, they debuted, and I don't know if it was debuted, but the first time I saw it, there was a new commercial for My Patriot Supply, and Alex is at their warehouse. | ||
| That is in Salt Lake City, Utah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That's why he went to Utah. | ||
| That's why he went to Utah, to cut a clip? | ||
| Oh, what a dick. | ||
| Yeah, he's there at the warehouse. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's shooting promos? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| What an asshole! | ||
| I think that must have been why he went, or at least part of it. | ||
| I mean, maybe it's, you know... | ||
| Eh, kill two birds with one stone. | ||
| You're already there. | ||
| But that's at least part of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That explains why, like, I mean, look, again, I love you, Utah, but not the number one vacation destination necessarily. | ||
| So yeah, he was... | ||
| I don't have any clips of it because it's just them talking about how great the food is. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, of course. | ||
| Although there is a kind of funny part where he's like... | ||
| You know what that's like? | ||
| That's a little... | ||
| It's a little bit like if you were to say, hey, all you listeners, you're lucky not to be watching this video right now, but instead you just didn't play it, Dan. | ||
| True. | ||
| Think about that. | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| Restraint. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Did you know that if you get My Patriot Supply stuff and you open up one of those buckets? | ||
| What's that? | ||
| You gotta be careful. | ||
| You might not be able to get it closed because there's so much food in it. | ||
| They say that like three times. | ||
| It's all just a muffin. | ||
| Like you pull it up and then it pops out and they're like, ha ha, it's a big muffin! | ||
| You can eat it forever! | ||
| I would be charmed by that. | ||
| So yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I found this episode to be a little frustrating. | ||
| No, it's great. | ||
| There's a lot going on. | ||
| Children's videos, Run DMC vaccine songs, SNL complaining, like everything just seems so trivial. | ||
| I feel like big stuff is happening. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I think that Alex, on some level, didn't have as much skin in the game with the impeachment as you might have thought he might. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then the spin of they just played clips of Democrats saying stuff and how do you defend against that? | ||
| Right. | ||
| As if that was legally relevant. | ||
| Yeah, no kidding. | ||
| And I think that works for him. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| I'm excited to see if he keeps playing The Doors. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And if that is a bad omen... | ||
| You want to see how sad he gets? | ||
| I'm excited to see how sad boy he goes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Oh, I can only imagine. | ||
| If he comes in from break with the sound of silence, then we know it's over. | ||
| He's just singing along with Elliot Smith instead of You Belong to the City. | ||
| It starts raining in the InfoWars studio. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How? | |
| I paid $50,000 for a brain system. | ||
| We got sprinklers up there. | ||
| They're always going 24-7 now. | ||
| Yeah, it just fit the mood. | ||
| It's just how I feel. | ||
| If you can afford to have your environment reflect your inner peace, then yeah, but I'm just sad. | ||
| Well, I guess we'll be back to find out what the next step in this adventure is. | ||
| Indeed we will. | ||
| 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 KnowledgeJonesGoFight, and I go to bed Jordan. | ||
| We're also on Facebook. | ||
| We are on Facebook, iTunes, and if you could, please find a local charity or bail fund in your area to help out people doing God's work right now. | ||
| Yep, we'll be back, but until then, I'm Neo, I'm Leo, I'm DZXClark, I'm Daryl Rundis, I'm Alex Jones' wife's Audie. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||

Hello, Alex. | |

I'm a huge fan. | |
