We'll be right back. | |
Hey, everybody! | ||
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
I'm Dan. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm Jordan. | |
Jordan! | ||
Where a couple dudes like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
Oh, indeed we are, Dan. | ||
Jordan. | ||
Dan! | ||
Jordan! | ||
Quick question! | ||
What's up? | ||
What's your bright spot today? | ||
My bright spot today, Jordan, is we're checking in on the Survivor rewatch. | ||
This has continued, and I have more thoughts. | ||
Did you hear the news out today? | ||
No. | ||
The Project Veritas has been using a former Survivor contestant as a honeypot trap. | ||
What's this? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Which one? | ||
I think it was 38th season. | ||
She was masquerading. | ||
You haven't gotten even close to it. | ||
Nearly to that. | ||
No, I do not know. | ||
I know there is a later Survivor contestant who has become like a Trump. | ||
I don't know if it's the same one. | ||
I think so. | ||
It's definitely not Elizabeth Hasselbeck from season two. | ||
No, it is not. | ||
Elizabeth Falarski slash Hasselbeck from the Australian season who I thought was great and then blah. | ||
So I've been watching it and I think there's this interesting dynamic that goes throughout some of the early seasons that is like they start to realize that they need to make the show familiar enough. | ||
That it's the same, but also different enough each season that it's not... | ||
Stale. | ||
Exactly. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
And so you get that tension a little bit, and I think it's really well done for about the first four seasons or so. | ||
You're already past four seasons? | ||
I'm much farther than that, yes. | ||
And so I was enjoying it all through those. | ||
Okay. | ||
And then I got to the fifth season, and I could not watch it. | ||
I don't know what it was. | ||
I was just like, I don't... | ||
Like this. | ||
It stinks. | ||
Okay. | ||
It wasn't just the people or anything? | ||
Well, I didn't know. | ||
I was really worried that like, okay, I guess everything fell apart in the fifth season. | ||
And you're just done with Survivor. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
The end. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I did it. | ||
I thought that was it. | ||
And I was like, I can't be too sure. | ||
What I have to do is, there's nobody forcing me to watch all of this. | ||
So I'm skipping this. | ||
I don't care. | ||
Right, you don't have to. | ||
Yeah, so I skipped the sixth season, and immediately I was like, oh, I love this again. | ||
It was the cast. | ||
unidentified
|
It was the cast. | |
It was just like I did not care about what was going on. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And so the sixth season is actually fantastic. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
I really enjoyed it. | ||
Seventh season, great. | ||
Okay. | ||
Rupert is the man. | ||
Oh, I've heard about Rupert, yes. | ||
Rupert's the shit. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
Rupert passed into the actual zeitgeist from just the survivor, yeah. | ||
I know that, like... | ||
He comes back and such, and I don't know if things turn bad with him. | ||
I have no idea. | ||
So if he did end up becoming a real dickhead or something, please don't judge me for it. | ||
At this point, all I know is that he was awesome in season seven. | ||
No spoiler alerts for a 30-year-old show, everybody. | ||
And it's amazing how immediate it is, too. | ||
Like, this guy is great. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
So everybody just suddenly bows to the king. | ||
Like, okay, fucking let's do it. | ||
Not even the people on the island. | ||
Just the show is so clearly, like, presenting him in a light that I think is probably partially sincere. | ||
Like, he's just a big-hearted guy. | ||
Sure. | ||
Yeah, I would always, I'd not watch that season, and so I was always like, I don't know what it is with this. | ||
Everybody's fucking loving this big bearded hippie dude. | ||
And then I watch it and I'm like, oh no, I get it. | ||
Okay. | ||
He's a very magnetic personality. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
But one of the things that I've recognized is that season six, I think, is where things sort of begin to fall apart. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And that is because season six has the first instance that I've really found of somebody who's really relishing being a sociopath. | ||
Oh, those people. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
You could argue that maybe Greg in season one, or Rob, Boston Rob, maybe even earlier. | ||
Sure. | ||
Not earlier than season one, but earlier than season six. | ||
Those two guys are kind of dicks. | ||
Right. | ||
And there are people who are dicks, and Richard Hatch is a dick. | ||
Sure. | ||
People lie to each other, but... | ||
Rob, on season six, he seems to take pleasure in fucking with people. | ||
And that is kind of a character that felt a little bit like, okay, I know that a lot of other people past this point are, you know, like... | ||
It just becomes a thing where it's like, yeah, all of my confessionals and all of my talking to the camera is just like, I lied to this guy and I love it. | ||
Sure, sure. | ||
I'm a chaos agent. | ||
The type of guy who like 10 years ago or 10 years from then could have a trophy room filled with ears. | ||
You know, like that kind of sociopath. | ||
Yeah, and then season seven, along with Rupert, also had Johnny Fairplay. | ||
And he, again, was somebody who clearly was just... | ||
I like lying to people. | ||
My name is Johnny Fairplay, and I don't play fair. | ||
Of course, yes. | ||
Yeah, yeah, naturally. | ||
So I'm a little bit worried that there is now this trend of this is how you get attention, this is how you rise above the fray, and maybe you don't win the show, but you become a character. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
And that, to me, is a meta game that I'm not interested in, and I think is actually destructive to the enjoyment of the show. | ||
No, that's what happened. | ||
Everybody knows. | ||
What was this about The Bachelor now? | ||
At a certain point, it all of a sudden stops being about whatever the relationship is supposed to be, because it never really was. | ||
What, are we all crazy? | ||
And then it starts being like... | ||
I'm jockeying to become the next Bachelor, and then maybe that'll turn into a career, you know? | ||
Right. | ||
Everybody always winds up having that fourth or fifth episode conversation where they're like, I don't think you're here for the right reason. | ||
You're like, oh my god, we do this every year. | ||
Stop it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And that's kind of why I think maybe even season eight is... | ||
The actual beginning of the end. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Because season eight is all stars. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
And so that's where they brought people back. | ||
And I think that that incentivized some of that behavior of like, oh, maybe there's a career path in this. | ||
Yeah. | ||
As opposed to it's like, no, you're one and done. | ||
Yeah. | ||
There's nothing coming from this. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You just play the game, damn it. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And I don't know. | ||
I think that awareness is a little bit of... | ||
It's something that is within the game itself that doesn't belong there. | ||
It's not sustainable. | ||
And I'm worried that we've already reached the point where it's like, wow... | ||
I think it's going to get a real... | ||
And we haven't even gotten to the point where the hidden immunity idol fills up. | ||
Sure, sure, sure. | ||
Where the game becomes hyper-complicated and nonsensical. | ||
Yeah, you know, I wonder if that's kind of a very similar trajectory that wrestling took. | ||
As that kayfabe started to break and everybody was... | ||
People knew about all that stuff in the past, but then it became part of the actual... | ||
Global watching of the show. | ||
The watching of wrestling is now also including the metagame. | ||
And I think the same thing happens with Survivor where it's like... | ||
Once everybody becomes aware of it, there's that loss of everybody's like, oh, it's fake and all that stuff. | ||
And then it builds back up again when everybody's like, well, now that I know the metagame is part of the game, and also the getting famous metagame is on top of that metagame, that's just another game. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
And I don't know how you beat back against that. | ||
And I don't know how you do, like... | ||
30 more seasons of this without it completely becoming untenable. | ||
Well, after 20 years of Marvel movies, we had half the universe dying. | ||
True. | ||
From just terrorists are bad to half the world, half the universe is gone. | ||
So there's an escalation, yeah. | ||
So what about you? | ||
What's your bright spot? | ||
Oh, Dan, I know you're tired of tennis, so I won't give you any tennis bright spots. | ||
And in fact, I don't have any. | ||
Mario Tennis? | ||
A new one came out. | ||
The Wimbledon, again, to tie both Rafa and Federer with 20 most Grand Slams of all time. | ||
That's exciting. | ||
Djokovic is undoubtedly going to break those records and then probably beat Serena's Open Era record of 23 because he's a robot and I hate him! | ||
I hate him! | ||
So he's your heel. | ||
He's the biggest heel. | ||
But I will say my bright spot, Dan, is the night at which you are listening to this on Monday night is the Home Run Derby. | ||
Oh, I love it. | ||
And normally I never watch the Home Run Derby. | ||
I don't really care. | ||
Last year, or two years ago, I watched Vlad Guerrero Jr. hit the absolute ever-loving shit out of the ball. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And it was amazing. | ||
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
But this year... | ||
Shohei Otani, baby! | ||
The pitcher. | ||
The pitcher who is leading the league in home runs with 33! | ||
That's nuts. | ||
Before the All-Star break! | ||
He's on track to break Roger Maris' 61! | ||
As a pitcher! | ||
unidentified
|
As a pitcher! | |
And he's got a three-point ER! | ||
I'm shitting! | ||
That's outrageous. | ||
It's insane! | ||
Wow. | ||
He's a god. | ||
Wow, I'm excited. | ||
I may watch this Home Run Derby, too. | ||
He's going to hit a ball well over 500 feet. | ||
I always liked that Home Run Derby. | ||
Me and Nicky Gifts, my old buddy Nicky Gifts used to sit around and watch the Home Run Derby. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
So just like, oh, there's a dinger. | ||
Yeah, no, it's... | ||
It's fun. | ||
It got boring. | ||
It got boring for a while, but then they added this new, like, you have a time limit, and if you hit enough home runs, you get, like, bonus time and all that. | ||
It's a lot more fun now. | ||
You turn it basically into a video game. | ||
A little bit, yeah. | ||
And it's great. | ||
So, Jordan, today we got an episode to go over. | ||
We're going to be talking about July 9th, 2021. | ||
Blackjack! | ||
Blackjack! | ||
I was too excited about Otani. | ||
I exploited that. | ||
This is Friday's episode, and I thought we'd check in at the end of last week, see what was going on. | ||
I know that my Friday was very interesting. | ||
Sure. | ||
We put out the episode... | ||
Of our show. | ||
And then, you know, talked a lot about Nick Fuentes. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And then you texted me in the morning and he'd been banned from Twitter. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
Yep. | ||
Aha. | ||
Of course, it had nothing to do with our episode. | ||
Unfortunately. | ||
Intensely weird timing. | ||
Really weird timing. | ||
And so I was like, well, Friday's episode of Alex's show is probably going to address the fact that his little baby bigot friend got the boot. | ||
It is no longer necessarily profitable for Alex to have on the network. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So I thought that might be interesting, and I tuned in and the episode had nothing to do with that. | ||
But I had some interesting things to go over, so we will do that. | ||
Of course. | ||
But first, you'll take a little moment, say hello to some new wonks. | ||
Oh, that's a great idea. | ||
So first, Noah, also happy birthday month. | ||
You are now a policy wonk. | ||
I'm a policy wonk. | ||
Happy birthday, Noah! | ||
Welcome to the wonks! | ||
Thank you. | ||
Next, Devin Kennedy is a better author than J.K. Rowling is what I would hope to be shouted out as, if possible. | ||
Thank you so much. | ||
You are now a policy wonk. | ||
I'm a policy wonk. | ||
Unfortunately, that is not possible, so I hope next time you... | ||
Yeah, unfortunately, we just can't do that. | ||
Next, Bob Hope is fighting in Syria. | ||
Thank you so much. | ||
You are now a policy wonk. | ||
I'm a policy wonk. | ||
I don't know if these are code messages that are, like, activating something. | ||
I don't understand. | ||
And then we've got a technocrat out there, Snowfoo's dad. | ||
Thank you so much. | ||
You are now a technocrat. | ||
I'm a policy wonk. | ||
Crikey, mate. | ||
That's fantastic. | ||
Have yourself a brew. | ||
How's your 401k doing, bro? | ||
We've got to go full tilt boogie on this, Watson, all right? | ||
Let's just get down to business. | ||
We ain't making that money off that heroin. | ||
Why are you pimp so good? | ||
My neck is freakishly large. | ||
I declare Infowar on you. | ||
Thank you so much, Snowfoo's dad. | ||
Yes, thank you very much. | ||
And now, Jordan, before we do the episode, get into this. | ||
Are we going to get deep? | ||
We have to. | ||
Oh. | ||
Giving someone life is giving someone death. | ||
You could say that life is death. | ||
You could. | ||
So, Jen L. Happy birthday. | ||
Also, Christopher reached out. | ||
This might be... | ||
Look, I love... | ||
Giving people birthday shoutouts. | ||
Sure, sure. | ||
I gotta be honest, this might be excessive. | ||
This might be too far. | ||
He wanted us to shout out three people. | ||
Okay, alright, come on, man. | ||
It might be a little much. | ||
We are getting steamrolled. | ||
I swear to God, we are just, we're not trying to do this. | ||
We may have to end the season of birthday shoutouts. | ||
Season of birthday shoutouts. | ||
And not because of Christopher or anything like that. | ||
I just think this is a funny instance of... | ||
We may have to reel this in a little bit. | ||
It's definitely getting out of control. | ||
It's getting out of control, yeah. | ||
But, Alana and Brian just had a birthday, so happy birthday. | ||
Happy birthday. | ||
Also, Christopher's best man at his wedding, Robert. | ||
Robert has a birthday. | ||
Okay. | ||
And apparently Robert needs to wear his birthday wig. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
I don't know, is that code? | ||
Is that activating some sleeper sale somewhere? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Why do I feel like I'm working for someone else now? | ||
Anyway, happy birthday to everybody. | ||
Yes, happy birthday. | ||
So, Jordan, here we are. | ||
Yes. | ||
On the ninth. | ||
Okay. | ||
Alex begins the show with some severe COVID news. | ||
Now, last we heard Alex talking about COVID, it caused 82% of people to lose pregnancies. | ||
That's true. | ||
That's true. | ||
It turns out there is more trouble. | ||
unidentified
|
Ooh. | |
Basically- I feel like that's enough. | ||
These vaccines are straight up killing everybody. | ||
But 82, okay. | ||
It's such an incredible time. | ||
I mean, look at these articles. | ||
Mom, 45, who got a job at John Hopkins Hospital, dies in John Hopkins Hospital after she got the second shot. | ||
And they said, yeah, the vaccine reaction swole her brain until all the blood vessels popped. | ||
And it was a long, horrifyingly painful death, the family said. | ||
She went from being in great shape and totally happy to deader than a doornail. | ||
Within a few days of taking the injection. | ||
So the case that Alex is covering is about a person named Spring Saunders, and there's a number of problems with the way that he's reporting this story. | ||
The first problem is that all of his primary sources, it's just limited to screen caps that someone took from Facebook posts. | ||
That's not exactly accurate, to be honest. | ||
InfoWars just took the story from a blog called The Empowerer, which in turn just took all their reporting from Facebook posts. | ||
Great name. | ||
It's all good and well to take some open source information from Facebook posts. | ||
But it's also super important to be constantly aware that anything you read might be intensely biased only telling half a story or could just be completely made up. | ||
In this case, the woman in question does appear to have existed as there's a memorial page you can find online, but the conclusions that Alex is jumping to are completely not demonstrated by the primary sourcing. | ||
Nothing available that's presented indicates that anyone has said that her death was proven to be from a vaccine reaction. | ||
Nothing in the article indicates that her brain swelled until all the vessels popped, and Alex is just writing a compelling story to tell his audience. | ||
Some of the other details here don't match up with the primary sources that Alex's article presents, but I honestly feel like bringing up specifics, it kind of feels like splitting hairs and it might come off as disrespectful to the woman who passed and her family, which I don't want to be. | ||
My only point here is that Alex is jumping to a conclusion and he can't prove any of the things that he's reporting. | ||
Also, if you try to find this story just by googling the words in the headline, you'll find another interesting recent story. | ||
Another 45-year-old woman, Tricia Jones, died this week from a COVID Delta variant, having refused to get vaccinated. | ||
Her mother told the local news, quote, she was afraid of the side effects, I think. | ||
You hear a lot of horror stories. | ||
I, myself, when I had the shot, it was rough, so it scared her and freaked her out. | ||
So she didn't want to do it. | ||
I couldn't convince her. | ||
Also, there's an article in the BBC from April, and it discussed the incidence of people having cerebral venous sinus thrombosis after having received the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. | ||
This study reviewed electronic records of 81 million U.S. patients and found that the risk of this thrombosis, quote, is 8 to 10 times higher in people with COVID than those who got the vaccine. | ||
Of course, it should be pointed out that drawing hard conclusions from this study isn't really possible, and there's review that needs to be done, but indications appear to show that people have a far greater risk of this condition that Alex is making his audience really afraid of if they get COVID than if they get vaccinated. | ||
Just playing games. | ||
No, I mean, what is it? | ||
It's at least 98% to 99% of all COVID deaths now are unvaccinated. | ||
Wait. | ||
Alex has the exact opposite stat that he's going to talk about later, so hold on to that. | ||
That can't be possible. | ||
Hold on to that. | ||
It can't be a complete inversion of reality. | ||
That's unfair. | ||
It can be, and it is. | ||
God damn it. | ||
Distort reality. | ||
Stop destroying it. | ||
Well, the thing is that he has another case of somebody who died that he's blaming the vaccine on. | ||
Oh, here's another one. | ||
Beautiful young Italian girl killed by vaccine. | ||
Brain surgeon, renowned brain surgeon, said he's never seen... | ||
A brain looked like this. | ||
I've never seen anything like this. | ||
It goes on to describe it as the worst thrombosis and neurological trauma. | ||
It crushed her brain. | ||
I know that for me it's a red flag when a headline that you're talking about discusses how the subject of the story is beautiful right off the bat. | ||
That's the hallmark of an outlet that has low standards in terms of journalism. | ||
Or is the New York Times from the 1940s. | ||
This is a headline from Citizen Free Press, which is another attempt at making a new Drudge Report, you know, like a right-wing link aggregator. | ||
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
The headline is meant to be attention-grabbing at the expense of journalistic integrity, so we're off to a bad start. | ||
This story is about a young girl named Camilla Canepa and comments that her surgeon Gianluigi Zona made after her death. | ||
Quote, I had never seen a brain that was affected by such extensive and severe thrombosis. | ||
Seems slightly unethical for a doctor to make comments like that, but... | ||
Especially a world-renowned doctor. | ||
Maybe things are different in Italy. | ||
A redound surgeon. | ||
Now, there are a number of reasons to think that Canepa's death was not directly caused by the vaccine, even though that's how it's being reported by people like Alex. | ||
Was it because she was hit by a car? | ||
No. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, okay. | |
That would have been in a simpler way. | ||
The first thing is that she got vaccinated on May 25th and only died this past week. | ||
It's a little bit of a long time to have in between these events in order to make a definitive connection like what's being implied. | ||
Six weeks, right? | ||
Yeah. | ||
The second reason to be suspicious is far more important, which is that there's some reporting going around from medical officials that Canepa had a chronic condition called familial autoimmune thrombocytopenia, which affects the ability of the body to create... | ||
enough blood platelets. | ||
It appears that this condition was known prior to vaccination, but investigators are trying to determine if it was known to the people who administer the vaccine since they probably shouldn't have given the increased risk that her condition would have put her in. | ||
Knaepa received the vaccine at a, quote, open vaccination day. | ||
So it remains an open question about how full of a medical history was known at the time And if there was an awareness that people should have had and ignored. | ||
Right. | ||
unidentified
|
Conversely, there's also reporting that say her parents have commented that, quote, she had no disease. | |
I'm not sure what that comment is in response to or any of the surrounding context and finding information. | ||
information on that has been a challenge. | ||
This quote is the only thing that's ever cited in articles and outlets where they casually call Canepa beautiful in their headlines. | ||
It's tough. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
There appears to be a bit more to this story than we know at this point. | |
And an important thing to remember is that... | ||
The previous story about the woman who worked at Johns Hopkins that was in America and that had to do with the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, this has to do with an AstraZeneca vaccine, which is not an mRNA vaccine, and it's not used in the United States. | ||
Right. | ||
unidentified
|
So he's blurring the line between and pretending that these different things, these completely different vaccines are having the same side effects and killing off everybody in identical ways. | |
And it's bizarre. | ||
It's not. | ||
Yeah, I just don't know how we're ever going to deal with this without a certain kind of reckoning of like, hey, 99% of people are dying because they're unvaccinated. | ||
40% of Republicans refuse to get unvaccinated almost entirely because of this level of propaganda that they're faced with. | ||
In no way is the propaganda not responsible for, at this point in time, a massive percentage of COVID deaths, right? | ||
Like, it cannot be said any other way. | ||
Yeah, I mean, I think that the influence seems very direct, and it seems very understandable. | ||
Drawing a concrete line between the individual disseminer of the information and the people who are... | ||
know making these choices to not get vaccinated sure that's more of a challenge but yeah it does it seems it seems like it seems like it's pretty hard to argue that yeah like that influence is leading people to make a lot of bad decisions right That are having consequences that can be fatal. | ||
Yeah, it can't be. | ||
I'm not going to say, like, oh, okay, every night when Tucker goes to sleep, he is responsible for another hundred deaths or anything like that. | ||
But as part of the right-wing ecosystem, it is the right-wing propaganda ecosystem that is killing people, you know, as a whole. | ||
Is it all 99% of the 99%? | ||
Or is it 80% or 60%? | ||
It doesn't matter. | ||
They are responsible in the largest part, you know? | ||
It seems like that, and it seems also additionally just difficult to figure out exactly what you do about that on an individual actor basis because of, you know, how do you prove a concrete connection? | ||
Right, right, right, right. | ||
And I think that's something that they relish in. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And that stinks. | ||
Bunch of assholes. | ||
So Alex has some bills that he wants to talk about that have fun numbers. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
Well, it's official. | ||
Legislation has been introduced in the House, and it looks like it's going to pass. | ||
To create a new law enforcement body in the Justice Department that will track everyone's medical records and if you've been vaccinated, that means whatever they cook up they want to put in your body. | ||
Gene therapies, you name it. | ||
And the bill is 666. | ||
And there's another bill called 666. | ||
We do this every Congress. | ||
That is the contact tracers coming to your house. | ||
And, of course, they did not give them those numbers because it was consecutive, because that was just the next bill number. | ||
They chose, in committee, those numbers to rub it in your face. | ||
A little calling card for everybody. | ||
So HR6666 was the Testing, Reaching, and Contacting Everyone Act, or the TRACE Act for short. | ||
It was introduced in the House on May 1st, 2020, and it died in committee before even receiving a vote. | ||
It doesn't exist. | ||
It didn't even come close. | ||
Yeah, Alex is talking about something. | ||
He said that it became law. | ||
It does not exist. | ||
It was coming close to being... | ||
No, it didn't. | ||
It was in committee and it died. | ||
No one even voted. | ||
This was one that Alex talked about a lot. | ||
He made a big deal out of the number being 666, but he didn't even follow up with it or care enough to notice that it died in committee. | ||
The other stuff is just kind of made up. | ||
In the 116th Congress, which was last year, there were four bills with the number 666. | ||
None of them even received a vote, and one of them was a Senate resolution, quote, honoring the faithful and unwavering service of civil air transport and aerobics. | ||
Civil Air Transport. | ||
Cat. | ||
And Air America, CADA, put that around, add an S, that's probably Satan. | ||
Sure. | ||
Yeah, there was a Senate resolution that was just like, hey, good job, Civil Air Transport, and that didn't even get a vote. | ||
Every fucking Congress, we have a new 666 bill because they count! | ||
We're now in the 117th Congress, and in the House, Ayanna Pressley introduced the Anti-Racism and Public Health Act of 2021. | ||
This seeks to amend the Public Health Service Act to provide for health research and investment into understanding and eliminating structural racism and police violence. | ||
This doesn't seem like what Alex is talking about, and unfortunately, also, it'll almost certainly die in committee. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
No, anything to help people will die in committee. | ||
On the Senate side, we have another very sinister bill, 666. | ||
Quote, a bill to modify the criteria used by the Corps of Engineers to dredge small ports. | ||
Dun, dun, dun! | ||
Devilry. | ||
This bill also probably won't pass, and it was introduced by Rand Paul. | ||
Bill numbers don't hold some kind of secret significance, and Alex never really takes the time to update his talking points past the point where they have gotten very stale. | ||
This is a great example of that. | ||
Just if he's forgotten to check in and see if that 6666 ever passed. | ||
I just... | ||
I know it's stupid, but if we're gonna live with hotels not having... | ||
Let's just live with Congress not having 666 bills. | ||
Let's just do it. | ||
Just skip 666, 665 to 667. | ||
Do they have to skip 422? | ||
Sure. | ||
Let's just get it out of the way. | ||
I'm sick of people being like, oh, it means something. | ||
It doesn't! | ||
Well, I think that it's okay to have superstition in the private sector. | ||
I would feel worse if the government changed their behavior based on some people's weird aversion to a number. | ||
Yeah, you know, I just... | ||
That might be a little bit fucked up. | ||
I don't know, you know, stones get worn down, you know? | ||
The rushing water will wear a stone down over time, and eventually you just go underwater. | ||
I guess. | ||
So, Alex is mad about this, but there's something else he's even more mad about. | ||
Kind of like the, quote, gay choir that is city-sponsored in San Francisco. | ||
Saying, we're going to corrupt your children, we're coming for your children, we're going to recruit your children. | ||
And of course, that is the entire giant push everywhere, all over the news, cartoons, movies. | ||
Well, now they come out and say, oh, they were just baiting us, and ha ha ha, they don't really mean it. | ||
But they did take the video down, so they can then misrepresent what was actually said in it. | ||
But we have the video. | ||
So there's a couple of important points about the video Alex is talking about. | ||
The first thing is that the Men's Chorus did not remove the video from the internet. | ||
It's still very much up on their YouTube channel and you can find it incredibly easily. | ||
Oh, that's nice. | ||
Alex is claiming that they took it down because that makes it seem like there's some sort of a guilt or it's suspicious in some way. | ||
And he knows that his audience isn't going to check. | ||
No, why would they look it up? | ||
I watched the whole video. | ||
I'm just going to play you the first verse here. | ||
Mic down for this just so you can hear it. | ||
And I think this pretty well captures the bit that they're doing. | ||
unidentified
|
As we celebrate pride on the progress we've made over these past years, there's still work to be done. | |
So to those of you out there who are still working against equal rights, we have a message for you. | ||
You think we're sinful? | ||
You fight against our rights. | ||
You say we all lead lives you can't respect. | ||
But you're just frightened. | ||
You think that we'll corrupt your kids if our agenda goes unchecked. | ||
Funny. | ||
Just this once. | ||
You're correct. | ||
We'll convert your children. | ||
Happens bit by bit, quietly and subtly, and you will barely notice it. | ||
You can keep them from disco. | ||
Worn about San Francisco. | ||
Make them wear pleated pants, we don't care. | ||
We'll convert your children. | ||
We'll make them tolerant and fair. | ||
So you get the bit that they're doing there. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
It's 100% meant to fuck with people like Alex. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
Man. | ||
The response, though, of people like Alex on the right wing is just so intensely predictable, and it's a little embarrassing. | ||
Yeah, it should be way more embarrassing. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Unwillingness to let go of bigotry and to actually hear what's being said leads to shortcuts. | ||
And the big shortcut here is that Alex is pretending this song is actually about corrupting children. | ||
It's lazy, it's hateful, and it's also just dumb. | ||
Also, it leads Alex to desperately try to pretend not to be a homophobe, because he wants to attack this, but he's like, ah, I can't be hateful, I can't be... | ||
Specifically hateful. | ||
Okay, so how am I going to do this? | ||
I'm going to have to dance around this. | ||
I guess I'll use identical rhetoric to the stuff that Nick Fuentes was saying on our last episode. | ||
There you go. | ||
But, oh, no, no, no. | ||
All they wanted was gay marriage, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
And so people who are homosexual in the world who are not child molesters and who are not bad people, because they're heterosexual child molesters and they're homosexual child molesters. | ||
They're all equally as bad. | ||
You need to not let the pedophiles claim that they run your movement, because they do now. | ||
And then you can whine and complain, oh, we're getting threats, oh, you hate us because of our sexual choices. | ||
No, no, no, we don't like you because a bunch of creepy men singing a song about your coming for our children, and then all the Jocelyn elders wanted to teach. | ||
Elementary students had to masturbate and said, reach down and touch their penis. | ||
Help them. | ||
Remember that came on congressional testimony? | ||
unidentified
|
She said, the teachers need to touch the penis. | |
I mean, it's pedophilia. | ||
That's what this is. | ||
Alex is lying about Jocelyn Elders and what she said. | ||
But I don't even know what that has to do with this. | ||
I mean, that's just tossed in there for some reason. | ||
I think he was just grasping at straws. | ||
Yeah, that's not good. | ||
No. | ||
You know what the choir should do? | ||
They should just sing that. | ||
Just sing it back to them. | ||
Just any time he says something like that, turn it into a song. | ||
Sure. | ||
unidentified
|
Jocelyn Elders teaches your children to masturbate. | |
I feel like it would be tough to get Alex's voice in any kind of note that would sound good in song. | ||
Yeah, I think that this is another one of those sort of... | ||
I don't know if it quite constitutes straw man arguments, but it's the same sort of thing that Alex does at times with Muslims. | ||
Like, why won't Muslim groups decry terrorism? | ||
Tons and tons of examples of it that he has just ignored. | ||
And it's the same thing with the LGBTQ plus community having to fight to not be associated with people who like children trying to gain a level of acceptance and association with that community. | ||
Push against that association because that co-option is always a part of it. | ||
It goes back years and years and years. | ||
And Alex will not accept the multitude of voices of people in the LGBTQ community saying, no, this is not part of our thing. | ||
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
He just pretends that they're like, oh, it's all run by. | ||
No, no. | ||
That's your... | ||
Smear. | ||
Exactly. | ||
That's what you have decided to accept as truth in order for you to pretend to not hate gay people while being against any modicum of rights for the community. | ||
And this is just ridiculous because it's essentially sharing an Onion article. | ||
I mean, that's basically what it is. | ||
It's them being like... | ||
Oh, I can't believe that this publication would write that Democrats are eating your children! | ||
And you're like, this is a fucking Onion article. | ||
You're stupid. | ||
You're fucking stupid. | ||
And that's how we got here! | ||
Yeah, I was watching it and I'm like, this is a little bit maybe... | ||
I mean, I think that it's a fun song and what have you, but when you're making it, you kind of have to know, like... | ||
This is really gonna piss off. | ||
Yeah. | ||
This is so unbelievably tailored just for these people. | ||
They're the only... | ||
I would be surprised if they were, like, the only people who listened to it more than once. | ||
Everybody else was listening to it, and they were like, oh, I get it. | ||
And then all the right-wing is like, oh, I gotta hear it again! | ||
Yeah. | ||
I'm so angry about it! | ||
This gives me an anger boner. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
Yeah, and one of the things I was thinking about while I was listening, I don't think that they... | ||
Are wrong to make this song. | ||
No. | ||
But I do worry about, like, if you make something that is this kind of pointed of a parody and satire and, like, fuck you and whatever your stupid beliefs are about us coming to corrupt your children and stuff, if you do that, that could put people in danger. | ||
I would not be surprised if it leads to an increase in harassment of the Francisco Gay Men's Chorus or whatever. | ||
I hope it doesn't escalate to violence or anything, but it's something that in the landscape that we're in right now, and have been for the last few years, it seems like that is a brave move even more than it is an interesting, funny video move. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It would be... | ||
It'd be like if Comet Pizza, like... | ||
Built a cellar under their place and then made a recreation of all the conspiracy theories with plastic dolls. | ||
unidentified
|
There's like a ball pit. | |
Yeah, totally! | ||
They recreated exactly the scene that people were expecting to find down there and they gave tours. | ||
It'd be like, yeah, okay, you guys maybe have gone too far with the satire. | ||
I get it. | ||
And it's great. | ||
And they made a music video of them creating the basement. | ||
Yes, totally. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
With people wearing Hillary Clinton masks. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
Do the whole thing. | ||
But Alex is pretty mad about this. | ||
Thankfully, he doesn't spend the entire show on it because there's other... | ||
Equally less important things to deal with. | ||
I would say this one might be even less. | ||
Oh, boy. | ||
Got some footage I'm going to roll some B-roll of here in just a moment of a man running around in California up the side of a building. | ||
And attacking a church and setting the cross on fire and then jumping from building to building like someone out of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. | ||
I would have gone with Spider-Man. | ||
unidentified
|
Mr. Hyde didn't jump from fucking building to building. | |
Spider-Man did. | ||
And if Spider-Man climbs up a church, lights it on fire, and then jumps from building to building, you let it happen. | ||
Well, J. Jonah Jameson will have something to say about that for sure. | ||
That's true. | ||
That's true. | ||
So this week, there was an instance where a man in just boxers and socks climbed up a church roof and set a small fire. | ||
That's a hero. | ||
That's a hero. | ||
That's probably someone on drugs. | ||
Yeah, I would assume so. | ||
According to news... | ||
Newsweek, quote, the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed that the small church roof fire was fully extinguished and the LAPD, or I'm sorry, LAFD arson is currently conducting a fire-related investigation. | ||
Well, yeah. | ||
The guy was apprehended and no other real details are known about it at this time. | ||
This could, like, be a story that includes a whole bunch of different details. | ||
Like, maybe it's a guy who's on drugs, maybe, who knows what the actual story is, but I think it's pretty clear how Alex is going to cover it. | ||
I would imagine so. | ||
Which is like this. | ||
Antichristian. | ||
unidentified
|
There are hundreds of churches a week in Europe being burned. | |
The majority have been burned to the ground. | ||
Wow. | ||
unidentified
|
And the Muslims and a consortium of devil worshipers just spiritually dialed into this force. | |
Go and burn them down. | ||
The news covers up. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Oh. | ||
Oh, the media covers that up. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
So after the 2019 fire at Notre Dame, France embarked on a two-month investigation which determined that the cause of the fire was an accident, with the leading suspected causes being an electrical short circuit or an errant cigarette. | ||
Oh, you mean the most likely things to happen to one of the most protected landmarks in France? | ||
There's no evidence whatsoever that this was a targeted attack. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
And Alex couldn't defend that claim if his life depended on it. | ||
The reality is that the fire that had... | ||
Mm-hmm. | ||
Mm-hmm. | ||
The second issue is that the person who worked at the cathedral who is responsible for communicating with firefighters about where the fire was, quote... | ||
was only on his third day on the job. | ||
Smoke had been detected, but, quote, according to the report, when the fire alarm went off at 6.18pm, the guards sent to check on the warning went to the wrong building. | ||
The sacricity, not the attic, which seriously delayed the response effort. | ||
Of course. | ||
These variables are unfortunate, and they combine to result in a really bad fire, but none of it proves any foul play behind it. | ||
I remember watching the show Infowars, that is, around the time of the fire, God damn it. | ||
on a Facebook stream of coverage of the fire. | ||
Yep. | ||
unidentified
|
It was unconvincing stuff, but Alex knows that his audience doesn't remember that he never proved that one, so now he can just claim that the media covered up that Notre Dame was an arson and whatever. | |
That's just so fucking funny. | ||
Your third day on the job in Notre Dame is on fire? | ||
That's just so goddamn funny. | ||
That is a movie level. | ||
In a movie, it's a, it's a, it's a, like, come on. | ||
Yeah, there's no way that, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
God, that's so funny. | ||
Brutal. | ||
But in the real world... | ||
That's a nightmare. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
I don't want Notre Dame to be burnt down, but it's still very funny. | ||
I mean, we've all had, like, something bad happen on our first or second days of work, and just imagining that it is, like, a global news story is awful. | ||
Oh, that's a nightmare. | ||
That's just the worst day of your life. | ||
Yeah, like, when I worked at, like, JCPenney's or something, someone stole a couple shirts, and it was, like, a big deal. | ||
Exactly! | ||
But that did not make the news. | ||
Not Notre Dame fire. | ||
I think about all the times you've gotten a mistake where your boss, your training boss, was just like, listen, we get it. | ||
It's your first few days. | ||
It's gonna take a little while to settle in. | ||
Everybody makes mistakes. | ||
Sure. | ||
But it's Notre Dame on fire. | ||
You are so fired. | ||
We're putting you in the burning building. | ||
That's what we have to do now. | ||
Right. | ||
So it turns out these people, like the guy who climbed in his boxers onto a roof in California. | ||
The next mayor of L.A. And whoever set fire to Notre Dame. | ||
They're taken over by demons. | ||
They are drawn when in that lowered state. | ||
When their conscious mind and spirit has been removed from the controls to be nothing more than an avatar driven by a force that desires to burn down churches and rape children. | ||
And if you go to any Democrat event or you go to an Antifa event or you even go to a mainline pro-choice event, women in Stepford wife outfits will tell you they love Satan and start sticking their tongues out and licking their lips. | ||
That sounds true. | ||
And, I mean, we've caught it on tape countless times. | ||
Countless times. | ||
Countless. | ||
Like a demon coming out of the CERN. | ||
So, yeah, I mean, you know, it's a little bit... | ||
I resent that... | ||
The idea of demonic possession has become so boring to me. | ||
unidentified
|
I know. | |
It's something that Alex brings up so much that it's not even, like, it's not even notable. | ||
It's funny. | ||
My partner loves the Conjuring franchise, and I fall asleep during every movie because I'm like, oh my god, they're possessed again. | ||
Fine. | ||
Whatever. | ||
I deal with this at work. | ||
In no time is anybody going, bah! | ||
So I don't care. | ||
Like, if any other... | ||
Like, respectable news outlet anchor suggested that somebody was possessed by a demon. | ||
It would be... | ||
Amazingly huge news. | ||
Oh, and instant firing. | ||
And it would be like, no, no, no, hold on. | ||
Why is he saying that? | ||
That's outrageous. | ||
Yes, yeah. | ||
For Alex, it's like, oh, it's Tuesday. | ||
Oh, my God. | ||
He's doing that again. | ||
He's having one of them days. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So he goes, I think he also meant probably Handmaid's Tale instead of Stepford Wives. | ||
That makes more sense, yeah. | ||
So he goes to these events and they're all like, we're devils. | ||
Whatever. | ||
And then sometimes he also goes to events that are about himself. | ||
Like there was a panel in Austin that was about Alex Donald Trump and fake news. | ||
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
That he crashed. | ||
Sure. | ||
And do you know what happened there? | ||
Nothing. | ||
Men shook their butts at him. | ||
I went when they had an event called Donald Trump, Alex Jones, and the fake news. | ||
They shut down part of downtown a few years ago. | ||
I, of course, was not invited. | ||
They tried to police throw me out, but the cops wouldn't do it. | ||
And so it's just open air in the street with a big stage. | ||
unidentified
|
And men came over and began to tell me that they like to have sex with children and shake their butts at me. | |
And they look like the men that you see in the quote, gay choir. | ||
They're everywhere. | ||
They're weak. | ||
They're pathetic. | ||
They're stupid. | ||
They look very unhealthy. | ||
They can be white. | ||
They can be black. | ||
They can be Hispanic. | ||
They're usually white. | ||
And they're all very, very Nelly. | ||
But that fake feminine spirit is just an act as a cover for what unbelievable monsters they are. | ||
These are ugly, gross men who are driven by a spirit that absolutely wants to destroy innocence. | ||
And take these children down with them. | ||
Because when you look at these men and the looks in their faces and how they act, they are enslaved. | ||
There is a spirit in control of them. | ||
And it's hideous. | ||
And it doesn't want life on this earth. | ||
It wants to kill, steal, and destroy. | ||
It wants to make sure the children have no parents and can be swallowed into a satanic... | ||
Abyss by these individuals. | ||
So please remember that any signs of femininity in a man is definitely a sign of satanic possession. | ||
Wow. | ||
You know what that reminded me? | ||
When I used to run an open mic early on, you know, you always have trouble with people running the light for whatever reason. | ||
You know, brand new people are just people who don't give a fuck. | ||
I'm just going to take my time up here. | ||
Another hot one. | ||
Every time that would happen, you know, I've seen so many shows where people would walk up and it'd be an altercation or they would just not take people off the stage, you know, and let certain people go for 20, 30, 40 minutes, you know, that kind of thing. | ||
I always, what I would do is I would slowly start dancing through the middle of the crowd and just kind of get everybody paying attention to me and just dancing really loud, not being mean or anything. | ||
And then by the time I got to the stage, the comic would just be like... | ||
unidentified
|
Aww. | |
And then just leave, you know? | ||
Sure. | ||
That is how you get rid of Alex Jones. | ||
You don't get cops involved. | ||
You get a bunch of people to just shake their butts at him until he goes away. | ||
Like, you can't make a demonic video where it's just a bunch of dudes shaking their butts and you're like, oh no! | ||
Butt shaking! | ||
You're possessed by demons! | ||
I see it as being like you get a marching band. | ||
Yeah. | ||
To get a big Congo line and just like, alright, we're done with this bullshit. | ||
Yeah, just follow Alex around. | ||
Just a couple tuba players going... | ||
Or like in New Orleans where you can rent a band. | ||
Yes, totally. | ||
Just do that. | ||
Just rent a band. | ||
Have a parade through Alex's shit. | ||
100%. | ||
So I would say that I don't know who these people who shake their butt at Alex are. | ||
I don't know if that happened. | ||
If they did, it was almost certainly someone fucking with him. | ||
I don't know what they looked like. | ||
But I do know from the video of the San Francisco Chorus... | ||
Those people do not look anything alike. | ||
It's a group of a lot of men who look very different. | ||
I don't know what unites them except for they're all gay. | ||
Because it's a gay choir. | ||
So I think that might be what Alex is responding to. | ||
It's saying that they look like the... | ||
Alleged demonic possessed butt shakers from his Austin experience. | ||
And that's fucked up. | ||
Yeah, I think he might just not be able to perceive reality in any given way, so anything he dislikes just turns into a gray mass. | ||
Or he hides his intense bigotry behind the presentation of not being able to experience reality. | ||
Definitely true. | ||
Somehow, living in an alternate reality is less socially abhorrent than his actual beliefs. | ||
Kind of is really, really sad. | ||
That's a really sad thought you just had. | ||
It bums me out. | ||
It is a possibility. | ||
So this is very unacceptable. | ||
You really should be calling the FBI on an organization of men meeting and saying, we're coming to corrupt your children, we're coming for them, we're coming to get them? | ||
That's a pretty scary thing when a group of men, but see, they all wear rainbow and go, hi, how you doing? | ||
I like you. | ||
Highest rate of suicide, highest rate of hurting each other, totally unhappy because of the culture in and around it that is so incredibly disgusting and anti-human. | ||
It's a pedophile army, and in my view, If the FBI raided the gay San Francisco choir, I would bet that a large percentage of those men have child porn on their computers, and I bet a large percentage of them are sex offenders already. | ||
Wow, just made that up. | ||
I mean, that's actionable. | ||
I guess saying I bet is such a cop-out, though. | ||
Yeah, no, I think he's speaking very intentionally in a way that seems like it wouldn't be something you could get sued for. | ||
I think you should call the FBI because they're all pedophiles. | ||
It's a pedophile army. | ||
Yeah, that's... | ||
Look, I get you can say I bet in between there, but you're... | ||
No, no, no, because I think the context of what he was talking about before is like... | ||
I think what he's saying is a pedophile army. | ||
He's talking about all, like, LGBTQ. | ||
Yeah, he's talking about all LGBTQ. | ||
More specifically, he's saying that the chorus is probably sex offenders that have child porn on their computers. | ||
I just, I can't find this in any way acceptable. | ||
No. | ||
Like, this is an outrageous level of incitement towards homophobia. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Drawing the conclusion, based on the only information that you have is that someone is gay and you have decided that they're probably a sex offender. | ||
I just, I can't, I can't say strongly or cleanly enough that this is explicit bigotry. | ||
Yeah, I mean, there's no other way to deal with this other than to say if they get a significant amount of power and continue with it. | ||
We will eventually have laws again where you can't be gay in your own home. | ||
You know, cops can knock on your door, open it, and if you are, quotes, engaging in homosexual activity, you can just be put in jail. | ||
Well, I mean, that's what Nick obviously wants. | ||
Alex is having Nick. | ||
He has Nick on his show and on his network, and his rhetoric is really not that different. | ||
They're compatible rhetorics. | ||
But anyway, Alex doesn't hate lesbians. | ||
You should know that. | ||
Well, I don't hate lesbians because they like women. | ||
I've been around the block a few times, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
I like women, too. | ||
Hell, I was like saying, you've got a taste for red wine. | ||
So do I. It's not that the women like women. | ||
It's that everything that comes with it. | ||
The anti-male, the anti-family, the chip on the shoulder, the support of the police state. | ||
What's wrong with you people? | ||
Okay, so if you're a lesbian, you support the police state. | ||
Apparently. | ||
That does not sound verified. | ||
No. | ||
Nor does it sound like something that can or will be verified. | ||
It doesn't actually even seem like something that makes sense for Alex to say. | ||
It seems like something that he's just... | ||
I get the sense that he's adrift. | ||
Right. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
He doesn't even know his stereotypes anymore. | ||
He's making them up whole cloth now. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But even weirder. | ||
Just being like, hey, I don't know why, but all black people like Luxembourg. | ||
That's not a stereotype. | ||
I don't even know what that means. | ||
I think that you had this San Francisco gay men's choir chorus come out and make this video that is so a meatball for Alex. | ||
He can't resist himself. | ||
No. | ||
No, he really can't. | ||
The way that he wants to respond to it, or the way he'd have to respond to it, is these... | ||
Fucking gay people. | ||
Yes, exactly! | ||
And he can't really do that, so he's trying to find a way to have that response, which he feels, and he knows that the audience needs. | ||
But he's trying to do it without being like, I hate all gay people. | ||
Yeah, I mean, because what he really wants to say is, gay people are making fun of me and I hate them for it. | ||
Like, that's what you... | ||
Why are you going off about pedophiles? | ||
You're just mad that you're getting mocked. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Because you're a child. | ||
They're taking this smear campaign that I have towards that community and making fun of it in a way that is embracing of, like, we recognize what the fuck you say about us. | ||
We can hear you! | ||
We're going to flip it on its head and take the power away from it. | ||
Exactly. | ||
And I think that is largely what Alex is wrestling with. | ||
Bigots usually don't like it when they have the power taken away from them, in my experience. | ||
No, you end up calling people a pedophile army who the FBI should raid. | ||
Yeah, they kind of tend to overreact maybe a little bit. | ||
Maybe a little bit. | ||
Yeah, and he does continue to do so. | ||
These are just blasted, beyond hell individuals. | ||
Creepy man! | ||
Dressed up like women, you know, like Psycho. | ||
And Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho dresses up like his mother because he killed her because she's in the basement stuffed. | ||
Psychologists know what all this is. | ||
And now, oh, the schools are having talks with your elementary students about you're really a girl. | ||
We're going to give you a lot of attention because you are. | ||
We're going to send you to this gender reassignment thing. | ||
And if your parents don't like it, In most jurisdictions now, they will take your children from you, the CPS will, and put them in another home with a bunch of these perverts that don't just want to stick their members in your children. | ||
They want to chop their testicles and penises off and chop little girls' breasts off because the end goal is to mutilate and attack what God created, the power of men and women coming together in our trillions of whatever endless years we've been here. | ||
I never had a marketing plan for InfoWars. | ||
Got cut off by the break there. | ||
Wow. | ||
That's very similar to the rhetoric that Nick was putting out in his video where he was advocating for the criminalization of LGBTQ folk. | ||
This is not any... | ||
This is a mess. | ||
This is incredibly inciting and awful. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, it's fucked up. | ||
So, you know, this is all Satan-ry, really. | ||
And Alex comes back from that break that he got cut off by. | ||
He's like, alright, fuck it. | ||
I'm gonna discuss Satan's plan. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
Alright, ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna plunge into all the news and tie it together here. | ||
The Satanism, the pedophilia, the open declaration of war against humanity. | ||
The externalization of Satan's plan here on this planet, the spiritual battle, the churches rolling over and doing nothing to fight it, and where this capitulation is going to take us very, very quickly. | ||
And just how hellish things are going to get before humanity finally wakes up and comes back up for air. | ||
That really is up to us. | ||
We have free will. | ||
But before I go any further, please remember, it is viewers and listeners that keep this independent, powerful... | ||
Media Operation Hour. | ||
Got a plug before I get to Satan's plan. | ||
Powerful. | ||
Powerful media organization. | ||
Just to tease you guys, Satan's plan's coming up. | ||
But before we do that, it is your viewers like you. | ||
I'm going to get into all of the nitty gritty about what the devil is up to. | ||
But first, we have dumb pills. | ||
We got a special going on. | ||
Oh boy. | ||
Apparently, I mean, you know, we have a lot of people who are possessed by the devil running around. | ||
Sure. | ||
According to Alex. | ||
And two of them you may recognize as people who have been in the news. | ||
You got Hunter Biden. | ||
Sure. | ||
Devil. | ||
Possessed. | ||
Naturally. | ||
And also Michael Avenatti. | ||
Devil. | ||
Possessed. | ||
Well, I'm fine with that. | ||
Haven't thought about him in a while. | ||
Why not? | ||
They want to destroy innocents like a man in the desert needs water. | ||
Or like a starving man needs bread. | ||
And it is their drive. | ||
And when you see Michael Avenatti, and you see Hunter Biden, and you see these people, and they look like these husks. | ||
They look like jack-o'-lanterns. | ||
There's like a flickering light coming out of their eye, because it's not them. | ||
They're gone. | ||
Something is repulsive about them, because your humanity sees that the lights are home, but nobody's home. | ||
To quote Mark Chestnut. | ||
So there isn't a place that you can buy products where it's going to have a bigger effect. | ||
These are dynamite, high-end products. | ||
Wow. | ||
I'm hurt. | ||
Isn't it remarkable that that was in the middle of his sales plug? | ||
I think I broke my neck. | ||
I broke my neck on that sudden left turn. | ||
I forgot to wear my seatbelt and I went straight through the door window. | ||
Jesus. | ||
It's a lingering sales pitch that he's doing and he sometimes gets back into stuff that sounds like it's... | ||
Content. | ||
unidentified
|
Michael Avenatti and Hunter Biden are the devil. | |
They're jack-o'-lanterns. | ||
And that's why this is the best one. | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
So Alex goes on with his plug, and this is the first time in a very long time that I have been worried that I'm about to hear my voice on Alex's show. | ||
Okay. | ||
All right. | ||
I didn't know what was going on, and I was like, uh-oh. | ||
This sounds like if there was ever a way that Alex would end up using our content, this could be it. | ||
Spoiler alert, it's not, but I was a little bit nervous. | ||
Did you guys find that comedian piece? | ||
I know I just sprung it on you. | ||
A little bit of comic relief, but I guess someone hearing this is like, wow, this sounds crazy, but it's really true. | ||
What's in high-end fish oil and high-end krill oil is just the next level. | ||
And again, this will give you the fish burps, which I don't like. | ||
But if you're not getting fish burps, folks, it's not the real deal. | ||
Okay? | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
Anything out there that's telling you it's the real deal and doesn't give you fish burps, it's a byproduct that goes with it. | ||
And so I take it when I go to sleep at night. | ||
When I don't take it, I feel it. | ||
My dreams aren't as good. | ||
I mean, it's like a drug, literally, for me. | ||
Acryl oil and fish oil when they're high-end. | ||
So here's a comedian making a joke about it. | ||
unidentified
|
Do it. | |
Look at the camera. | ||
Do the whole thing. | ||
unidentified
|
Go. | |
Have you ever seen a fish oil like this? | ||
unidentified
|
No, you haven't. | |
You've always seen it all brown and this one's all yellowy. | ||
unidentified
|
And the reason that you see it is because I want my audience to have goodwill. | |
Because if you get that goodwill, I get your goodwill. | ||
Don't you want to understand the book's secret? | ||
This little pill right here is solid gold liquid consciousness. | ||
You don't believe me? | ||
Look it up. | ||
Look up fish oil and then buy it at alexjones.com infowars. | ||
The world is a poorer place with that man being shut out. | ||
But you have to do it like this. | ||
Just do this part again. | ||
I like that. | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
Okay, I got a couple of things. | ||
Okay, one... | ||
I have never heard fish burps before in my life. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
I mean, we've even talked about it. | ||
Right. | ||
Part of Alex's, get the fish burps. | ||
I know, but I still refuse to hear it. | ||
I've never heard it outside of here. | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
Is fish burps a thing that other people say? | ||
Maybe. | ||
Maybe. | ||
I guess I've not really spent too much time in the comparative fish oil game. | ||
Yeah. | ||
The comparative Omega-3 product. | ||
That's fair. | ||
Conversations. | ||
Maybe they do talk about the fish burps. | ||
It's not... | ||
I've taken Omega-3 before, and it's certainly not something that I've seen as, like, something I need to be mindful of. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Or worried about. | ||
Right. | ||
And two, you just can't... | ||
You can't parody it. | ||
No. | ||
You can't do it. | ||
That's honestly... | ||
That would have been, like, a low-level Alex. | ||
Yeah, no, that's not a parody. | ||
That's just, that would be, that's any day he could have said exactly that. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
Right, and I think that that's part of the reason why it's safe to use this as, you know, like, something that he can use in his ads. | ||
Right. | ||
But, like, as he was doing the lead-up, he was talking about comedians talking about these shit. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. | ||
Oh, no. | ||
Anyway, we go back to the... | ||
He's doing this long fucking plug, and then he goes to commercial. | ||
I'm going to get into the devil's plan. | ||
Now, two minutes of plugs, one minute of commercials, back at it. | ||
Now, he gets to the nitty-gritty of the devil's plan. | ||
Apparently, it has something to do with how he wants to get into stand-up. | ||
By the way, folks, I've always wanted to do comedy. | ||
Joe Rogan tells me I really need to do it. | ||
And I guess if I get good enough, I'll get to go on tour with Joe and Dave Chappelle. | ||
So I've got to go ahead, though, and go out there. | ||
Is that a joke, CNN? | ||
I know Brian Stelter's like, who's Alex Jones friends with? | ||
Who's he involved with? | ||
I'm supposed to tell you who you can talk to and who you can't. | ||
You think Brian Stelter will get jealous? | ||
If I open up, say, a year from now for Joe Rogan, just ate 30,000 people in Dallas? | ||
No. | ||
At the American Airlines Center or something like that? | ||
unidentified
|
No, he will not. | |
Just hypothetical. | ||
Think CNN would like that? | ||
Oh, let me tell you something else fun. | ||
Are you ready for pay-per-view? | ||
Alex Jones takes on 10 midgets. | ||
Oh, it's in the works. | ||
It's in the works. | ||
See, because I've decided this stuff's so serious, this news is so out of control. | ||
That we also need to really screw with the globalist brains and have fun at the same time. | ||
Because we're not against fun. | ||
We're not against that. | ||
What the fuck is happening? | ||
I don't even know anymore. | ||
So Alex wants to get it to stand-up, and he somehow thinks that opening for Rogan will make Stelter jealous, which is weird. | ||
That's a strange motivation. | ||
I know a lot of people from my time doing stand-up who've had various reasons for wanting to succeed. | ||
And I will say that that's the most unhealthy one I've heard. | ||
Oh, boy. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, boy. | |
So many unhealthy ones. | ||
I want to fuel a coke habit. | ||
Yes. | ||
I want to get my parents' love. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
These are normal motivations compared to I want Stelter to be jealous. | ||
Even... | ||
Even I want to crush my enemies in comedy is less destructive than I want to make Stelter mad by doing 15 up top for Rogan. | ||
Will Brian Stelter wish he was doing stand-up? | ||
No, he doesn't do stand-up. | ||
Will Brian Stelter be jealous of my two laughs per minute average? | ||
I think Alex might eventually start to realize how little goodwill his being a media figure has once you actually start Presenting yourself as a stand-up. | ||
I think he did learn that when he did stand-up when Doug Stanhope got him to in Austin years back, and that video is... | ||
Grim. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
Yeah, I think you can coast for about a minute and a half, two minutes on whatever your fame is. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
And then eventually audiences will be like, I want a joke. | ||
Right. | ||
And I've seen this happen at the Laugh Factory. | ||
So many times. | ||
So many times. | ||
I've seen it happen at local shows when people have dropped in. | ||
And it's, yeah, it can be a real... | ||
Surprise for folks who aren't used to doing stand-up. | ||
And definitely not used to failing in front of that many people all at the same time. | ||
It is a unique schadenfreude to see somebody... | ||
Infinitely more famous than you as a four-year-in comic and do five that just wipes the floor with them. | ||
It's a weird schadenfreude, but it's a good one. | ||
Can you fucking imagine a double bill of Rogan and Dave Chappelle with Alex hosting or opening? | ||
Oh, I can't imagine it lasting very long. | ||
I can't imagine there not being massive protests outside and Rogan and Chappelle both standing up and being like, no, we can do whoever we want at our shows, and then two weeks later he's gone forever. | ||
I think Rogan and Chappelle would both be wise enough to know like, oh, yeah, if we do this, this is all about Alex. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
And we have sort of just used our position to allow him to use us. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
And it's like, I don't know. | |
I don't even know too many road hacks who wouldn't lose their fucking minds if their opening act got more press than them every show. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You know? | ||
Or if their openers destroyed the audience before you even got on stage. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
Now it's almost like if they do that, that would be Rogan and Chappelle just trying to flex and see how deep a hole they could dig out of, you know? | ||
Remember way back on our show, I pitched a reality show called Save It. | ||
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
Where the whole idea of it was somebody is on stage. | ||
And they intentionally ruin the audience. | ||
And then the game show is you have to try and get on stage next and see if you can save the show. | ||
I think a whole season of that could be Alex Jones doing opening and see if you can get the audience back to a place where they're laughing at things. | ||
We cannot change too much in 20 years that we suddenly pull that off with a 60-year-old Alex Jones. | ||
We can't do that. | ||
I don't know if he'd have the... | ||
The vim and vigor at 60. He's at 47 now, and I don't know what another 5, 10 years is going to do to him. | ||
That's true. | ||
Especially if he continues this plan of fighting on pay-per-view. | ||
That, I don't even want to engage with that. | ||
You know what my first thought was when he said that? | ||
I was like, money is bad. | ||
unidentified
|
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. | |
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. | ||
laughter This is a real Dustin Diamond move, is what I'm getting from this one. | ||
Yeah, Alex is gonna have, like, golden corral on his back. | ||
unidentified
|
Like a thick-necked race car. | |
How long till we get that? | ||
Till we get a nice Rakuten on Alex's dumb shirts? | ||
I'll say that there are very few folks who don't seem to be desperate. | ||
Who do these sort of celebrity fights. | ||
But then again, things are changing a little bit now with Logan Paul and Jake Paul's fighting thing. | ||
But I also think that it's because of them. | ||
And they're able to get a fight with Floyd Mayweather. | ||
And Floyd Mayweather is at a point in his career where he has nothing to prove. | ||
Doing something like that for a giant paycheck is something that... | ||
You could see him doing. | ||
He also did a thing in the WWE. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So he's somebody who's open to bookings. | ||
The idea that Alex thinks that him fighting ten little people is something that could be interesting or funny. | ||
It's kind of sad. | ||
And it feels like a desperate money grab. | ||
Yeah, it feels like a jackass stunt in 2002. | ||
It's like, man, we can't be doing this. | ||
Nobody's remaking Revenge of the Nerds, man. | ||
The past needs to stay in the past. | ||
But Alex seems like he's actually serious about this. | ||
By the way, I just had the crew during the break saying, are you really going to fight ten midgets, and is this going to be real or staged? | ||
And the answer is, no, that's in the works. | ||
With a big organization, big national group, they wanted me to do something like this for a while, and I said, what about midgets? | ||
And no, I mean, with boxing gloves, I think 10 of them will probably beat my ass pretty bad. | ||
And that's kind of the fun of the thing. | ||
And so if it's for charity and stuff, it's also a good thing. | ||
And this is no joke. | ||
They would like me to secondly challenge Brian Stelter. | ||
Brian Stelter is one of the most loathed, hated people in the world. | ||
To a stand-up competition. | ||
And so at a certain point, this is not a joke, by the way, being deadly serious here, Brian Stelter is going to be challenged by myself. | ||
And I don't know, Brian looks like a pretty big wimp to me. | ||
I'll give Brian two midgets. | ||
I'll fight Brian with big heavy gloves. | ||
He gets two extra midgets. | ||
I'm blown away. | ||
So that'll be the handicap there in the match. | ||
Or maybe he wants to forego the midgets. | ||
So I thought we were going to get to the devil's plan that Alex was going to delineate and break down, but then he did this long plug and now he's trying to promote... | ||
A pay-per-view that is not going to happen and his burgeoning stand-up career, apparently, that he's going to do because things are so wild with the globalists that we need to fuck with their brains and have fun or try and cheaply cash in and make some money really fast. | ||
Blown away. | ||
Blown away that he said that out loud to another person. | ||
I want to fight ten little people using that word and nobody went. | ||
Hey, man. | ||
Okay, you said it wrong one time. | ||
Over and over again. | ||
You said it wrong one time. | ||
I'm in your earpiece. | ||
Just don't say that word again. | ||
Just do a different word. | ||
Okay, you said it again? | ||
All right? | ||
That's fine. | ||
Two times? | ||
Okay, we're on 15! | ||
Yeah. | ||
Wow. | ||
And I sincerely can't interpret this any other way than like... | ||
Money is tight. | ||
Money is tight. | ||
And him being like, I really hope Brian Stelter would agree to this. | ||
I don't know why anyone would. | ||
Like, if you were Brian Stelter, you'd have to, based on Alex's... | ||
Like, public presentation. | ||
You'd have to be worried that he wouldn't stop punching you. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Like, as Alex has said, that he's a demon and shit. | ||
Like, if he gets in a sanctioned boxing match with him, he's gonna try to Cinderella man him. | ||
Oh, yeah, totally. | ||
Totally. | ||
Oh, no, of course. | ||
He might straight up try to million-dollar baby him. | ||
You'd have to think that he's totally full of shit, or he's gonna try and kill you. | ||
And either way... | ||
What's in it for you? | ||
Yeah, totally. | ||
Anyway, Alex really wants to fight Stelter. | ||
Or maybe I'm a manager of midgets, he's the manager of midgets, and then we just... | ||
God damn it, man! | ||
Who would be the heel, though? | ||
Who would be the bad guy? | ||
I think Brian Stelter would need to be the bad guy. | ||
Or maybe I'd be the bad guy. | ||
You know what I'm doing right now? | ||
I don't really want to cover this news. | ||
I have a responsibility to do this. | ||
I'm really genuinely freaked out. | ||
Yeah, we know. | ||
I enjoy that moment there where he's like, I realize this is getting a little too transparent that I'm not doing my job. | ||
This is complete bullshit that I'm going off on. | ||
Yeah, look, I don't want to do my job, so I'm going to on-air fantasize about promotional stunts I can do to make money. | ||
You dick. | ||
It has the feel of somebody coming in late to work for the fifth time that week and being like, listen, man, I slept in, I got a nice cup of coffee, I didn't get here on time. | ||
Because you caught me. | ||
I don't know what to tell you. | ||
I just don't care. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So Alex wants to head to the hills because this news is so severe and so terrifying. | ||
I don't know if he'll be able to do pay-per-view boxing from the woods, but... | ||
And I do want to just run off to the mountains and go fly fishing and just forget any of this ever happened. | ||
Here's the problem. | ||
They're not going to let you do that. | ||
I mean, you know, with the contact tracers and all this... | ||
That they're going to come to their political enemies' houses. | ||
They've already said, we're going to Republican areas because they're the ones refusing. | ||
It's all being done day one. | ||
Strike forces. | ||
What are the terms? | ||
Strike forces. | ||
We're going to go door to door. | ||
We're going to hunt you down. | ||
These are quotes. | ||
We have all Bloomberg. | ||
We have administration officials saying we have every right to your personal data. | ||
If you've been inoculated or not, we paid for it after all. | ||
That's a quote. | ||
And we're going to come to your house whether you like it or not. | ||
I mean, these are quotes. | ||
Would you like me to play the video? | ||
He doesn't. | ||
So I don't know. | ||
I don't know about hunting down all these quotes. | ||
When he gets into more specifics, I trace down what I could. | ||
But I don't know. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And that's all vague. | ||
And who cares? | ||
When he gets into a specific, it's a little bit of a mess. | ||
By the way, even the Times of Israel reports 80-plus percent. | ||
And guys, I know I sent that to you, but I think I lost it in my stack. | ||
Just reprint me that, because I actually sent you the article. | ||
It was actually a photo of the Times of Israel. | ||
Because I want the actual number. | ||
It was like 84%, 85%, I forget. | ||
Of the people in the hospital with COVID and those dying, Of COVID have had the vaccine. | ||
So they're going, oh, the vaccine doesn't work. | ||
People are dying of COVID. | ||
No, the vaccine kills you, and then they say it's COVID. | ||
Comprende? | ||
Comprende, Jordan? | ||
See, this is where we got the inversion of the stat. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
I have no idea what Alex is referring to in terms of this article in the Times of Israel, but interestingly, CNBC had an article that came out on July 8th with the headline, quote, Virtually all new COVID deaths and hospitalizations are among unvaccinated people, White House says. | ||
There are breakthrough infections that are being seen, and that's inevitable since no vaccine is 100% effective, but apparently almost nobody who's been vaccinated fully is seeing illness that requires hospitalization in the United States. | ||
This reality that vaccines are not 100% effective is something that's being exploited by anti-vax propagandists by using real statistics in a manipulative way. | ||
For instance, there was a conversation last month about how the proportion of vaccinated persons within the group of people who died with COVID-19 is rising. | ||
That proportion is rising. | ||
This sounds scary and it's the kind of statistic that can be very useful for someone like Alex. | ||
But all you have to do is think about things for a few minutes and you'll come up with possible explanations for this phenomenon. | ||
The first is that data shows that people who are older are more likely to be vaccinated. | ||
People who are older also are statistically more likely to die than younger people. | ||
So the unfortunate reality is that the pool of vaccinated people skews toward containing people who are more likely to die. | ||
Right. | ||
The second reason is that the vaccine cannot be 100% effective. | ||
An article in The Guardian really well expresses this dynamic. | ||
Quote, I find it incredibly hard to believe that the Times of Israel is reporting anything close to what Alex is saying. | ||
On July 8th, they reported on the first two COVID deaths in Israel in the past two weeks. | ||
So the number of COVID deaths, I don't know how you'd get that number that Alex is saying, but one of them was a 48-year-old unvaccinated man, and the other was an 86-year-old man who had been vaccinated. | ||
That same day, they reported only 37 seriously ill people with COVID in the entire country. | ||
So I just don't know where these stats are coming from. | ||
I think it's bullshit. | ||
Yeah, I mean, it is such that vicious cycle of you convince people that the vaccine is evil. | ||
They don't get the vaccine, more people die, and the vaccinated people are like, we can't let you continue doing this. | ||
You're dying, and two, you're incubators for the eventual immune virus that's going to wind up killing all of us anyways. | ||
We can't let you do this, and the only way to do that is to come into your fucking homes and try and convince you, and then they're like, see, they're coming into your homes and trying to convince you, and you're like, but you're... | ||
Like, not forcing people, but... | ||
Doing outreach. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That might involve knocking on doors. | ||
unidentified
|
Totally. | |
Because there are a number of people who probably would get vaccinated but don't have the resources. | ||
Totally. | ||
Or have some kind of a block towards access of it. | ||
And door-to-door awareness campaigns could help with that. | ||
And unfortunately, they will end up probably... | ||
If they do put that into plan, into effect, someone probably will be attacked. | ||
Someone going door to door will get the shit kicked out of them by somebody. | ||
I foresee that. | ||
It is like that... | ||
Fauci and the administration are talking about that creation of two Americas, the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. | ||
And that's just the literal expression of the two Americas of vaxxers and the horrible anti-vax propaganda that existed before. | ||
We're just seeing it happen in physical life. | ||
Do you know what I mean? | ||
It's the same. | ||
It's the same thing. | ||
We're just seeing it play out. | ||
Yeah, and the other thing, too, is that the vaccination opposition or whatever has metastasized and attached itself to so many extraneous political positions that it's being co-opted as a signifier of right-wing politics. | ||
And that's a dangerous reality. | ||
Yeah, it felt like a good proportion of anti-vaxxers used to be New Age folks, and now even New Age folks are like, I think Nazis are great. | ||
And you're like, God damn it, man! | ||
Yep. | ||
Shit! | ||
So Alex has a prediction about these plans, about, you know, I don't know, door-to-door awareness campaigns for vaccination. | ||
Sure. | ||
Keep this prediction in mind for the next few years. | ||
See if this comes about. | ||
Okay. | ||
And so, they're going to start rolling out the contact tracers as they've already done it in Europe, as they've already done it in Australia, as they've already done it in Latin America, where they come to your door. | ||
And they say, your neighbor said you were coughing. | ||
We got a report you were sick. | ||
No, I'm fine. | ||
You don't have a warrant? | ||
Get out of my house. | ||
Well, under the emergency code, we don't need a warrant. | ||
Come outside. | ||
And they've got a little credit card reader machine. | ||
It's a total fraud. | ||
They stick Lord knows what up your nose. | ||
They stick at the machine. | ||
Two minutes later, it says they can turn up to 40 cycles. | ||
She'll be basically 100% false positive. | ||
And, oh, sorry, because the computer will tell them we're going to go at 40 cycles. | ||
If you're a good little globalist, then they can come to your house and test you. | ||
And now they've got a perfect excuse to disappear you and get used to vans driving around, grabbing people, and all the Democrats and all the leftists that went to college in Europe and Latin America and Africa and Asia, everywhere, they go to these UN-certified schools to learn how to be social workers, to be in AmeriCorps. | ||
Or to be in the Peace Corps. | ||
And now that's that civilian domestic army Obama talked about, just as big, just as strong as the military. | ||
And it's not there to take your guns right away. | ||
It's not there to, no, no. | ||
It's there to save you. | ||
It's there to make sure you take the shot. | ||
It's there to see if you're sick and go in your home and take you out and take you away. | ||
And sure, that was all in the U.N. plans years ago. | ||
It was in the Rockefeller plan, lockstep, 11 years ago. | ||
There's no such thing as the lockstep plan, and Alex is just making all of this up and attributing his paranoid fantasies to an imaginary document. | ||
Yeah, I was... | ||
This is very boring. | ||
I was thinking it was a little hard to believe that Obama's civilian army matched up equally with the $900 billion a year United States military, but I could be wrong. | ||
You could be. | ||
I could be. | ||
So yeah, I don't know. | ||
This is a... | ||
This is just a fantasy that is not going to come to fruition. | ||
Just a little, like, keep this in mind for all the people who are like, Alex's predictions always come true. | ||
Alright? | ||
Can you imagine... | ||
People in vans taking people away and everybody being like, well, it's just the pandemic, I'm sure. | ||
Well, their neighbor heard them cough. | ||
Yeah. | ||
No kidding. | ||
Oh, no, no. | ||
It's so awful. | ||
It's so awful, this scenario where someone would just have a neighbor that hears you cough. | ||
That would be awful. | ||
Now, if somebody had a neighbor that hears you were gay, of course the cops should come to your door and rip you out of your house. | ||
That makes perfect sense. | ||
Sure. | ||
It makes perfect sense. | ||
These are people who have consistent beliefs. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Or, I mean, let's talk about the implications of the sort of the Texas abortion law on the... | ||
Alex doesn't cover that, so I have no idea about it. | ||
I haven't actually heard about it. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
So he does get to another bill, though. | ||
And this is actually the bill 666 that he was talking about. | ||
I was shocked that it actually was one of the bills that I already talked about. | ||
So here it is. | ||
The H.R. 666 Anti-Racism in... | ||
Public Health Act. | ||
Oh my gosh, well I'm up for racism then. | ||
And it says here, conduct, analyze data, and administer research and grant program to address racism and the impact of health and well-being with all of your medical records from the CDC, the National Center for Anti-Racism, that's run by the Southern Poverty Law Center and ADL, with your medical records. | ||
So, it turns out the big 666 bill that Alex is talking about is that Ayanna Pressley bill, the Anti-Racism and Public Health Act. | ||
For some idea about the bill, GovTrack gives a prognosis of 4% chance. | ||
Oh, that's a lot better than I would have expected, honestly. | ||
Alex hasn't read this bill. | ||
It would seek to create a new entity within the CDC called the National Center on Anti-Racism and Health. | ||
The entity would be tasked with looking at and addressing the healthcare implications of our country's history of structural racism, ranging from issues related to infectious disease to pregnancy-related conditions, which are two instances of health issues that intersect heavily with race. | ||
Additionally, the bill sought to have the CDC coordinated with the DOJ to address police violence as a public health-related matter. | ||
The bill was introduced on February 1st, and even though it does have important points in it, as it stands, even Alex knows damn well this isn't going to pass. | ||
More importantly, Alex is just making up major parts of his analysis of the bill. | ||
There's no discussion about accessing anyone's medical records. | ||
That's part of this that Alex is just free associating. | ||
Of course. | ||
Also, the National Center on Anti-Racism and Health is a thing that the bill is trying to create. | ||
It's not something that is, as Alex is reporting it, run by the ADA. | ||
I have no idea. | ||
That's a knee-jerk reaction Alex has whenever you read something that sounds like it might be a social positive. | ||
This thing says that it's anti-racism, so in order to make sure my audience doesn't feel racist for opposing it, I have to be sure to say it's associated with the ADL and the SPLC, who I've already convinced the audience are evil based on propaganda I took straight from white supremacists and the protocols of the elders of Zion. | ||
It's a load of shit, but you can see how he needs to do that to cover his bases with the audience to keep them in check. | ||
Also, this bill is identical to S4533, the Anti-Racism and Public Health Act of 2020, which was introduced by Elizabeth Warren last year and died in committee. | ||
It's also the same as HR 8178, which is the House version of that bill that Ayanna Pressley introduced last year, which also died in committee. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
It's a bunch of bullshit. | ||
I would like to know more about that 4% possibility. | ||
I think that's a made-up number. | ||
There's no way that you can come to 4%. | ||
Like, what, they 538ed and they ran a million simulations and in 4% of them it passed? | ||
And in those situations, what happened? | ||
I want to know! | ||
I... | ||
I don't know. | ||
I need more information on their methodology. | ||
Look, I'm not saying that it actually has a 4% chance of passing. | ||
No, that's what I'm saying! | ||
I'm saying that GovTrack... | ||
That's what I'm saying. | ||
I want to know their... | ||
I would be interested in how accurate those predictions are historically. | ||
Why not 1%? | ||
Why not 3%? | ||
Well, because I think it has something to do with the number of co-sponsors. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
I think it has something to do with that. | ||
Like the number of people who have expressed support for the bill. | ||
Sure. | ||
The history of the bill as... | ||
I think probably something that hurts the bill quite a bit is the fact that we did this last year. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Because we already have a running of this. | ||
Right, right, right, right. | ||
And you can see that it probably has about as much chance as it did last year. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, it's a bit nonsensical. | ||
So Alex tries to read this bill, and you can see him sort of riffing little bits in it. | ||
I was kind of confused by this. | ||
The bill establishes within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention a National Center for Anti-Racism and Health and a law enforcement violence prevention program. | ||
Among other activities, the new center must... | ||
Collect and analyze data. | ||
Oh, oh, they get your medical records and administer research and grant programs to address racism and the impact of health and well-being. | ||
Because the health department was set up in New York first by Margaret Sanger to, quote, exterminate black weakens. | ||
Additionally, the bill specifically directs the CDC's National Center for... | ||
Injury prevention and control in coordination with the Department of Justice and other relevant stakeholders to carry out the Law Enforcement Violence Prevention Program by conducting research and supporting officers and other activities pertaining to law enforcement, violence, and public health. | ||
So, contact tracers, your medical records, with the ADL, with the Southern Poverty Law Center, with Health and Human Services, interface with your local health department. | ||
seamless surveillance control, legalizing the surveillance state they've already had for decades Alex is clearly cold-reading this bill, because if he read it before getting on air, his conspiracy would be different. | ||
He's having to make up all these extraneous details that aren't in the bill to make the square peg fit in a round hole, but if he actually read it... | ||
He could do this as a white identity narrative without even thinking. | ||
Easy. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You can tell that because he's trying to force it into a space that doesn't really belong, he doesn't actually know what it says. | ||
Because I was reading over the bill, I'm like, oh my god, this is ripe for Alex. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
He's just doing it the wrong way. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You know what? | ||
Sometimes it really bites you whenever you never prepare for your job. | ||
It certainly... | ||
It can really come back and hit you in the ass. | ||
Yep. | ||
So, HR 666, right? | ||
This thing, what it really is, is an attempt to... | ||
The Bill of the Beast! | ||
Well, it's decriminalizing all the things that all these evil globalists have done, right? | ||
Even from what he read, no. | ||
No. | ||
They've committed all these crimes. | ||
They're pedophiles, folks. | ||
And they know it's all coming out. | ||
And so now they're just rushing to legalize it all, hoping that they don't all go to prison. | ||
And that, of course, is... | ||
House Resolution 666. | ||
Oh, here's another one. | ||
H.R. 666. | ||
This became law. | ||
COVID-19 testing. | ||
Reaching and contacting everyone. | ||
Trace Act. | ||
And what do they call it? | ||
They call it, what is sake? | ||
Gin sake. | ||
Again, not a bad drink. | ||
A bad person. | ||
What does she call it? | ||
Strike forces. | ||
Strike. | ||
Strike forces! | ||
And I played you the clips, like, oh, we're gonna hunt you down if you haven't had your shots! | ||
So, HR 6666 did not become law. | ||
Alex just made that up. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Also, Press Secretary Psaki, she has what seems to be an interesting relationship with the term strike force. | ||
In a press conference on July 8th, she used the term. | ||
It was in response to a question about Biden talking with Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot about the gun situation in the city. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
And here is the exchange. | ||
Question. | ||
How is the DOJ strike force going to specifically interrupt the networks that are trafficking those guns? | ||
Answer. | ||
They're going to work with the city. | ||
We're doing these strike forces in about five cities around the country, and they want to work directly with them to use legal authorities to crack down on illegal gun trafficking and work in partnership with law enforcement authorities in the cities, and that add additional heft and additional resources. | ||
In a press gaggle the previous day, she used the term, again in relationship to gun trafficking in Chicago. | ||
But! | ||
On July 6th, she was discussing communities with low vaccination rates and said, quote, that's one of the reasons we initiated these strike forces, to go into communities and work with them to determine what they need, to take localized, specific approach that works with elected officials and communities. | ||
I think she just likes the combination of those words. | ||
Yeah, I mean, she's an ambulance. | ||
Hey, we take that strike force out to 24th and Main because we've got a, you know, everything's a strike force. | ||
I think that also there's sort of, certain people have momentum with terms. | ||
And it might just be a thing where she has, like, we have a team that's a strike force. | ||
Sure, sure. | ||
Or whatever. | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't take this to be a sign that she's going to send a hit squad of people who don't want vaccines or something. | ||
No, people, everybody has pet phrases. | ||
That's how we caught the Unabomber. | ||
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
That's a good point. | ||
So the rest of this show is Alex interviewing Michael Malice, who I don't care much for for a couple reasons. | ||
I just got really bored listening to their interview and I just turned it off. | ||
Wait, his name is Michael Malice? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
His name is Malice? | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
How is that not as equally demonic as 666? | ||
His name is Malice! | ||
Yeah, it should be. | ||
I don't know. | ||
But anyway, one of the reasons why I don't care too much about him is he has his own show and he fairly regularly has comedians as guests. | ||
I have no idea if... | ||
That means he's trying to do a Rogan-type thing, and if that's the case, I don't know how much I can accurately assess where he's coming from and what's meant to be taken seriously. | ||
I don't want to engage with something that might be a bit troll-y. | ||
A scroll through his guest list, however, does reveal that he's friends with a bunch of real idiot shitheads, and he seems to like having them on his show. | ||
That doesn't look great. | ||
The second issue I have is that Michael is there in studio, so one would assume that he's heard the show leading up to this point. | ||
Mm-hmm. | ||
Mm-hmm. | ||
Can I be a part of the same episode where Alex is talking about the gay men's chorus in San Francisco probably being pedophiles? | ||
I mean, he said they're all pedophiles. | ||
Right. | ||
He talks about his pay-per-view fighting aspirations. | ||
Yeah. | ||
All of this nonsense. | ||
If you still are like, yeah, I'm going to keep this booking. | ||
Then I don't, you know, there's nothing about your own individual career that I think could even rise to the level of like, well, you have made yourself discountable. | ||
Whoops, I was booked to this Nazi rally, and I'm the fifth speaker, but listen. | ||
You gotta do your time. | ||
I was raised up in Chicago comedy. | ||
You gotta do your time. | ||
I am a professional. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
Yes. | ||
So I think the most important thing, though, is that in 2018, riding high on Trump energy, Michael Malice was one of the speakers at A Night for Freedom. | ||
And if you go back and look at the list of speakers, it oozes with poorly disguised monsters just waiting to be allowed to speak freely. | ||
For instance, Owen Benjamin was on the panel. | ||
Boo! | ||
This was while he was still just pretending to be an edgy comedian who liked to sing songs with Good stuff. | ||
And then there's Gavin McGinnis, still in that sweet spot where the Proud Boys were still being seen as a harmless joke by most people. | ||
He had an adoring cult, and things hadn't gone south to the point where he'd have to pretend he didn't mean any of the violent stuff, and he wasn't really the leader of the group, and honestly, they were mostly just about dudes having a beer together away from the old ball and chain. | ||
Guys were just like, oh, it's... | ||
Okay, I started a violent street gang, and then they became a violent street gang! | ||
And I didn't mean it? | ||
I didn't have any intention of doing that whenever I told all of them that I'm starting a violent street gang! | ||
Oh no, this has gone bad! | ||
Who could have seen this coming? | ||
And then what about Stefan Mullen? | ||
God damn it! | ||
He was on that panel too, riding that sweet middle ground of being a creepy-ass libertarian cult leader prior to him going to Poland and realizing he was actually a white nationalist all along. | ||
Goofy losers like Jack Posobiec and Mike Cernovich were there, too, talking about how they were the vanguard of culture now. | ||
What a bunch of losers. | ||
Jared Holt covered the event for Right Wing Watch. | ||
I thought you were going to wind up with he was also there. | ||
He was there. | ||
Jesus! | ||
He was covering the event for Right Wing Watch. | ||
I know, but if he was speaking... | ||
His article has a fun quote from Michael Malice's speech. | ||
Uh-huh. | ||
Quote, one of the ways the left has won for decades is by being the fun side. | ||
That's where the parties are. | ||
That's where the cool people are. | ||
And it's important if you want people to agree with you and come over to have events like this, to not have the social cost of being on the right and to enjoy life in America. | ||
One thing I take away from that is that Michael Malice and I have very different ideas of what sounds like fun. | ||
Personally, I don't think hanging out with a group of pathetic, thinly veiled bigots sounds like a good time. | ||
No. | ||
unidentified
|
Whereas apparently for... | |
Let's not forget, very unfunny bigots! | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
Yeah. | ||
Also, Jared's article includes something hilarious. | ||
Quote, Yeah. | ||
And in 2018, Michael Miles was hanging out with the grossest pack of losers. | ||
And this week, he willingly appeared on Alex's show when he was doing this kind of content. | ||
So no matter what he does or says, I don't think too much of him. | ||
And I was pretty bored by the... | ||
Beginning of the interview, and I just don't care. | ||
Nah, fuck it. | ||
He doesn't rise to the level of interesting danger that someone like a Nick Fuentes does, and he doesn't have the social capital of someone like a Joe Rogan that make them like, oh, we should talk about this. | ||
He's just kind of in that middle ground of... | ||
He's got his little thing. | ||
Like, flagrant too, kind of. | ||
Yeah, you do have an audience, but... | ||
I think you're just a shithead. | ||
Great, you're an asshole. | ||
Congratulations. | ||
You've surrounded yourself with more assholes. | ||
Awesome. | ||
So Alex gives this call out, and this is the last clip we have for today. | ||
Just remember, only way we reach new people is you telling friends, family, neighbors, acquaintances, total strangers about the show. | ||
Freeworldnews.tv, write it on the back of a card, give it to folks and tell them, here is a suppressed truth they don't want you to see. | ||
Can you imagine the conversation you would have coming if you told someone who wasn't nuts to listen to this show and said it was the suppressed truth in the universe? | ||
Can you imagine how worried your friend would rightly be if you did that? | ||
Like, it's one thing to tune in and somebody like Bill Cooper is boringly going over hoax documents and discussing conspiracies or cryptids or something. | ||
You know, like, it's kind of fun. | ||
It's completely another thing if your friend says to listen to Infowars and get the truth, and you're confronted by a complete idiot yelling about how the San Francisco gay men's chorus are probably pedophiles, rambles about doing a pay-per-view where he fights ten little people, and then constantly makes up details about every real thing he covers like these bills. | ||
If you're listening to this shit and sincerely recommending it to someone, a rational response would be for them to be very worried about you. | ||
Also, did he say write down freeworldnews.tv? | ||
I think so. | ||
I think that's one of his new URLs. | ||
So part of that conversation would be you handing somebody freeworldnews.tv and them being like, what's this? | ||
And you saying, oh, it's Infowars. | ||
Well, then why didn't you write Infowars? | ||
You know why I didn't write Infowars. | ||
We both know why I didn't write Infowars. | ||
I wrote... | ||
Freeworldnews.tv. | ||
I still have to Trojan horse this a little bit, even though it's the suppressed truth. | ||
I guess I'm suppressing it a little bit. | ||
Do you know what I couldn't sell you on? | ||
It being the suppressed truth. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
So I have to lie to you. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
Because you have a little bit of awareness of who this dickhole is. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
Yeah, so I found this episode to be disgusting, honestly. | ||
Just overall pretty disgusting. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
Especially coming off the heels of a Fuentes episode. | ||
This is turning into a real free speech bigotry split. | ||
Just speak freely. | ||
I think one of the interesting things that I think we're going to learn in the next week or so, too, is how does the relationship of Nick getting kicked off Twitter affect Alex and the relationship that Nick Fuentes has with InfoWars. | ||
Now, InfoWars may be one of the larger platforms that he has access to. | ||
There may be a need for him to invest more. | ||
In his presence on Alex's band.video, his ability to come on the shows, and that could be trouble for someone like Alex, because Nick is pretty slick. | ||
I mean, you know, Harrison Smith sucks. | ||
Nick's not busy. | ||
Maybe, you know. | ||
And then Fuentes' show becomes more popular than Alex's, and he has to kill him. | ||
Fuentes, I don't think, is somebody who is comfortable being third banana on Infowars. | ||
No, absolutely not. | ||
I do not think he would be fine being in the sad, sad role that Harrison Smith is in. | ||
Because Harrison knows that he's reached his ceiling. | ||
He's like, I am lucky to be third banana. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
He's stoked. | ||
I'm so thrilled that David Knight got fired. | ||
Like, I could do it on my own. | ||
Get the fuck out of here. | ||
Yeah, whereas Nick Fuentes is... | ||
It would be a downgrade for him, unless he were invested in somehow moving up and taking over. | ||
But yeah, we'll see. | ||
I'm very interested to see how that dynamic plays out. | ||
And whether or not Alex will have to cut bait. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Maybe he goes PJW. | ||
You know, maybe he just produces constant... | ||
Yeah, maybe. | ||
I would like that. | ||
Get the fuck out of Chicago, asshole. | ||
No, he produces, like, videos and he plays them on the main gym. | ||
I honestly also think that Nick is a bit more ambitious than Paul has ever been. | ||
Paul, I think, also knows where his bread is buttered. | ||
And although he will probably, every now and again, give voice to support for, like, Nigel Farage or UKIP candidates, Nick... | ||
is somebody who has a political project. | ||
That's true. | ||
The stuff that he does does involve action towards politics, action towards bills, action towards organizing and disrupting things like Charlie Kirk events. | ||
Things like this are things that have real on the real world implications that folks like Paul and Alex They don't really do as much of. | ||
That's a good point. | ||
People like Paul and Harrison, they kind of understand that, sure, they want to sway opinions on things in the info war or whatever, but it's more about creating your media space. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, you've got a good point. | |
That's not what Nick is up to. | ||
You've got a good point. | ||
One of the reasons that I find Nick to be more of a dangerous person than a lot of these other folks that we talk about, and one of the reasons that... | ||
I don't cover his show, even though he does a show, is because I don't think he's the same type of person. | ||
I think he is a bit of a grifter, and he's scamming a little bit, obviously. | ||
He's also an ideologue, yeah. | ||
But yeah, I think he would sacrifice... | ||
Selling America First shirts for political action. | ||
I think he probably would. | ||
And for someone like Alex, I don't think that that's true. | ||
Yeah, it seems like Fuentes is trying to get to that kind of Norquist place where he can somehow convince all of it. | ||
Because he's never going to actually make it into Congress or something like that. | ||
But he can convince them all. | ||
He can be like the white nationalist pledge of like, hey, no new people. | ||
You know, like that kind of shit. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And by attracting the support of folks like Paul Gosar and Michelle Malkin, you end up trying to expand the influence that him and his Groypers have. | ||
It's a bit of a different thing than what we're used to covering. | ||
Not to say that it's less serious, because I think it actually is probably more serious than something. | ||
It's definitely less fun. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But maybe it is something that is worth exploring a bit more. | ||
I know that his particular brand of content is a little bit more unpalatable to folks in our audience and everyone. | ||
And everyone, yeah. | ||
But maybe there is some value to maybe covering a little bit more of his America First show. | ||
And another one of the reasons why we haven't is because there was a limited amount of it that was on Infowars. | ||
And if it starts to live more on Infowars, then it becomes more in our sphere directly. | ||
So we'll see. | ||
We'll see how things play out. | ||
But for now, I just think this episode sucked. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
And I also think that that San Francisco gay men's chorus song is pretty catchy. | ||
It's pretty catchy. | ||
I enjoyed it. | ||
I appreciated it. | ||
Anyway, we'll be back. | ||
But until then, Jordan, we have a website. | ||
We do have a website. | ||
It's knowledgefight.com. | ||
Yes. | ||
Also on... | ||
Twitter. | ||
We are also on Twitter. | ||
It's at knowledge underscore fight and at GoToBetJordan. | ||
We're also on Facebook. | ||
We are on Facebook. | ||
If you could, please find a local charity or bail fund in your area to help out people doing God's work. | ||
Yep, we'll be back. | ||
But until then, I'm Neo. | ||
I'm Leo. | ||
I'm DZXClark. | ||
I'm Daryl Rundis. | ||
I really, honestly, if there was any justice in the universe, Rupert should have won that season of Survivor. | ||
I mean, at times he did actually seem like a little bit unhinged and he was screaming at people for voting for him. | ||
And maybe... | ||
Maybe there was a dark side to him that wasn't fully captured in the show, and that's entirely possible. | ||
I accept that's possible, but man, what a ray of sunshine that dude was. | ||
Anyway, Rupert for president. | ||
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
Thanks for holding. | ||
unidentified
|
Hello, Alex. | |
I'm a first-time caller. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm a huge fan. | |
I love your work. |
