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

|
We're the bad guys. | |
| Hey, everybody. | ||
| Welcome back to KnowledgeFight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| We're 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 for you, sir. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| What's your bright spot today? | ||
| My bright spot today is all the tweets about Joe Rogan that I get to read. | ||
| Oh, that's so great. | ||
| Love it! | ||
| No, I guess the other night I played a Mario party with my buddy Nicky Gifts, his wife, and my old buddy Crane. | ||
| We have an old history of playing Mario parties together back in the days, back in the Columbia days. | ||
| Yeah, deep rivalries. | ||
| What we would do is we would play 50 turn Mario parties. | ||
| There's this level... | ||
| On one of the GameCube versions of Mario Party, there was Pagoda Peak, and so the star never moves. | ||
| You just go up this mountain, and then you start back at the bottom, and you go back up, and you just get really high, and have a long playlist of music. | ||
| It would just take all day. | ||
| That would be the whole day. | ||
| Play a Mario Party. | ||
| It was just... | ||
| The worst, but the best. | ||
| Yeah, it is that one time in your life where that's, like, a great day. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so now the Mario Party Superstars, or whatever the fuck it's called, now they have the capability of playing remote games. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so, you know, we live in different cities and such, but we were able to play a Mario Party, and it was a lot of fun. | ||
| Isn't that great? | ||
| And I won! | ||
| Yeah, of course you do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow! | |
| You win, like, all the time. | ||
| You're an absurd person. | ||
| No, no, that's not true. | ||
| I'm really bad at minigames. | ||
| I was really expecting it. | ||
| I was going to end up losing. | ||
| But I think what happened was I ended up winning because Nick ended up randomly losing a star on the second-to-last term. | ||
| He landed on a Bowser space and lost a star. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| He got a bad beat. | ||
| It's all randomness. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it was a lot of fun. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| So, great. | ||
| Thank you, technology, for catching up. | ||
| You got one in the positive, several thousand in the negative, but you got one in the positive. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Good work. | ||
| My bright spot is the flowers that I ordered for my partner were delivered today. | ||
| I saw a tweet about this. | ||
| Or yesterday. | ||
| Maybe today. | ||
| No, it was today. | ||
| It was a Valentine's Day thing, but that's next week. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| So the idea I had was, if you recall, we had the chocolate strawberry. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fiasco. | |
| Yes. | ||
| Who could forget? | ||
| I ordered both of them on the wrong day. | ||
| So this year, I was like, I'll make a joke off of that. | ||
| And I'll order the flowers to be delivered a week early. | ||
| And it'll be like a, you know, it'll be a reference. | ||
| We'll all have a giggle and there'll be flowers at the end of it. | ||
| And it was going to be a surprise. | ||
| Or she's going to hit you over the head with a bouquet of flowers. | ||
| Right, or something along those lines. | ||
| And it'll be a surprise. | ||
| And then they didn't show up last night. | ||
| So all of a sudden, a surprise. | ||
| Did you already tell her in advance? | ||
| No, I had to tell her though when they didn't show up. | ||
| Why? | ||
| She didn't know they were coming. | ||
| See, that's what I realized today. | ||
| You're crazy. | ||
| When they did show up, I was like, I could have just said nothing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It would have been neutral. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| And instead, what I got her was sadness. | ||
| The joke doesn't work if it's six days early as opposed to seven. | ||
| No, no, I understand. | ||
| It was just a massive screw-up on my part. | ||
| Could have gotten away with it. | ||
| But alas, they still did show up in their grape. | ||
| They smell great and she's happy. | ||
| That impulse is very strange. | ||
| What? | ||
| The need to explain the lack of a surprise to somebody. | ||
| There's no expectation. | ||
| No, you don't understand. | ||
| It was an emotional burden that I was carrying that I just couldn't handle anymore. | ||
| I need her support to deal with it. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| So, Jordan, today, speaking of needing emotional support, we will need a little bit of a crutch to get through this Alex Jones episode. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That was not a great transition on my part. | ||
| I'm usually fairly good, but that was a B. So today we're going to be talking about his Sunday show. | ||
| Sunday! | ||
| The 6th of February. | ||
| And one of the reasons I decided to do this episode is I got sucked in by listening to the episode, and Alex says at the beginning that he's hosting all four hours on Sunday. | ||
| Usually he does two hours, and then Owen comes in for Sunday Night Live, which is a riff on Saturday Night Live. | ||
| And it's just as funny. | ||
| It is, but there's no sketches, there's no characters, which is unfortunate. | ||
| I would love it if they did a Sunday Night Live and they had characters come in to the desk. | ||
| The weekend update. | ||
| That's when we find out that Pete Davidson's totally cool with InfoWars. | ||
| That's when we do it. | ||
| Rainbow Snatch could come back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right! | |
| She's gotta be there. | ||
| I'm surprised she's not on the regular SNL. | ||
| She's ready for primetime, baby. | ||
| I know that Harrison Smith's got a reel. | ||
| He's gotta have a couple of good... | ||
| Maybe a Burt Reynolds? | ||
| I would just say... | ||
| Jason Schwartzman from Rushmore. | ||
| And that's it. | ||
| I think you can pull it off. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So anyway, Alex was hosting Sunday Night Live as well. | ||
| And so I was like, okay, I'm going to treat this like it's a full-on episode. | ||
| But then the Sunday Night Live episode isn't posted on band.video and I can't find it. | ||
| So anyway, I got sucked into this and we had this Sunday episode. | ||
| There's some meat on these bones, but not a ton. | ||
| Not a ton. | ||
| This is not... | ||
| If you're looking for an in-depth, like... | ||
| Important episode. | ||
| Right. | ||
| This might not be it. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| This is not even a Cornish game hen. | ||
| This is a grouse. | ||
| We're screwed. | ||
| This is grouse time. | ||
| But hey, it's Wednesday. | ||
| We don't need to be putting out an episode anyway. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| Enjoy. | ||
| Good luck. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So before we get into this, though, let's say hello to some new wonks, Jordan. | ||
| Oh, that's a great idea. | ||
| So first, Corbin G. Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thanks, Corbin! | ||

|
Thank you. | |
| Next, dear everyone, you're doing the best you can, and that's all anyone can ask of you. | ||
| Love Mike. | ||

| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| And we got a couple of technocrats in the mix. | ||
| So first, Steve G. from Gilbert's. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a technocrat. | ||
| And Dr. Pachanik, or how I learned to stop worrying and love the psyop. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a technocrat. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| I have risen above my enemies. | ||
| I might quit tomorrow, actually. | ||
| I'm just going to take a little breaky now. | ||
| A little breaky for me. | ||
| And then we're going to come back, and I'm going to start the show over. | ||
| But I'm the devil! | ||
| I've got to be taken off the air! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fuck you! | |
| Fuck you! | ||
| I've got plenty of words for you, but at the end of the day, fuck you and your New World Order, and fuck the horse you rode in on, and all your shit! | ||
| Maybe today should be my last broadcast. | ||
| Maybe I'll just be gone a month, maybe five years. | ||
| Maybe I'll walk out of here tomorrow, and you never see me again. | ||
| That's really what I want to do. | ||
| I never want to come back here again. | ||
| I apologize to the crew and the listeners yesterday that I was legitimately having breakdowns on air. | ||
| I'll be better tomorrow. | ||
| I'm not sure if he is better, but this is a real just InfoWars-ass episode. | ||
| This is bread and butter. | ||
| Regular-ass InfoWars. | ||
| There's not real insanity. | ||
| There's not outbursts. | ||
| He's not morose. | ||
| No, he just put his hat on, clocked in, and he got through the day. | ||
| It's just a show. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| We've got a wonderful show. | ||
| Actually, honestly, tonight, it's just going to be okay. | ||
| We have to do it, even if we don't have a wonderful show for you tonight. | ||
| That's Alex starting his Sunday Night Live. | ||
| Yes, exactly. | ||
| His monologue. | ||
| We have to do this. | ||
| We're contractually obligated. | ||
| So here's where he starts with the headline. | ||
| And actually, I think there's a little bit of fairness here. | ||
| First off, you all know what happened Friday afternoon, or you should probably. | ||
| And that is Bloomberg put out the headline that Russia had attacked Ukraine. | ||
| And they had all their reporting ready for what then supposedly unfolded. | ||
| They did this before the last two Iraq wars as well. | ||
| I'll be getting more into it today. | ||
| But the Russian... | ||
| Foreign Ministry spokesperson said the new name for fake news should be Bloomberg. | ||
| I absolutely agree. | ||
| That might have lost something in translation. | ||
| It's possible. | ||
| No, it was a great joke. | ||
| So Alex doesn't really get too much into this PSYOP and the precise dynamics of it or showing the instances of where Bloomberg did this. | ||
| I was kind of expecting him to do that. | ||
| No, but this sucks. | ||
| I would hope that someone actually within the organization of Bloomberg actually got fired over this mistake. | ||
| Oh, okay, so something did happen. | ||
| There was a mistake. | ||
| Okay, cool. | ||
| So the long and short of what happened is that Bloomberg, as well as many other internet-based media organizations, they tend to create dummy pages with headlines of many possible outcomes and headlines that could happen in any given day or week in order to get a jump on things. | ||
| Because there's a perverse incentive in that media space to be the first with something to report. | ||
| This is not an unheard of situation. | ||
| One of the times this has been a topic of conversation online was in terms, there was this time back in 2003 when it came out that CNN had prepared obituary pages for a number of celebrities who were still alive, but were, you know, there were folks that might die, and it would be big news if they did. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Then again, in 2020, Radio France Internationale had about 100 draft obituaries for celebrities that accidentally got published, and in the process, they falsely announced the deaths of the Queen, soccer legend Pele, Yoko Ono, and Jimmy Carter, among others. | ||
| And in order to avoid having to make a correction, they went and killed all of those people, I assume. | ||
| Big team of assassins. | ||
| Yeah, I assume so. | ||
| So those are some fairly lower-stakes situations, and that's what makes this Bloomberg situation here a larger fuck-up. | ||
| This is a tense geopolitical minefield, so they should be overly careful, but even so, this doesn't seem like it's anything more than a mistake. | ||
| If you've ever tracked breaking news on large media sites like CNN or Bloomberg, you'll know that often the pages for these breaking stories are little more than a headline and a brief synopsis of what information is available. | ||
| which is then updated as new details come out. | ||
| Again, because of these businesses, the model that they have that so highly values who got this story out first, it makes total sense that these organizations Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Everything Alex does every day and basically every headline on InfoWars is a malicious and intentional attempt to lie. | ||
| So I'm not going to take his complaints on this one too seriously. | ||
| Yeah, there was one of those just today, I think, from the Hollywood Reporter about how Spider-Man and No Way Home was snubbed. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And there's that little, like... | ||
| And once again, that little pre-written blurb of once again, the Academy has snubbed Marvel and instead nominated XXX, XXX, XXX, and you're like, oh, you wrote that yesterday. | ||
| Yeah, I didn't see that, but it makes total sense that they would do that. | ||
| Because you already know. | ||
| That Marvel movies are not going to get nominated for Best Picture. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Someone is going to want to read that story. | ||
| People are going to click on it. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| And why not write it in advance? | ||
| The worst case scenario is it does get nominated and then you throw out the draft. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| There's no downside to it. | ||
| None. | ||
| Unless you accidentally publish these things. | ||
| Unless it's about a war with another country. | ||
| That is a downside. | ||
| Then there's a downside. | ||
| There's a downside there. | ||
| And I think that maybe you should do, like, Bloomberg could do an internal audit. | ||
| Maybe they could fire somebody. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Also, I would say that maybe it's not a great idea for the media to operate in a state where their business model relies on living with the possibility that someone could accidentally post a headline that leads to a war beginning. | ||
| No, nothing wrong with that. | ||
| Maybe they should readjust those priorities. | ||
| How is it possible to write that, to pre-write the war-started story without losing your fucking mind, right? | ||
| Like, that requires some sort of ability to go to a different place to pre-write, like, millions of people are about to die in a blink, you know? | ||
| Like, that's crazy! | ||
| That's crazy! | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I mean, how do you write any headline? | ||
| That's a good question. | ||
| How do you write? | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| You're going to need to go back to elementary. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So Alex has some ideas about Russia's various adventures, let's say, on their border. | ||
| You know, back when I was a little more naive in 2008, I got up one morning at about 6.30 in the morning, went in, got some coffee, turned on my desktop big screen computer, and there was the headline on Drudge and everywhere else that... | ||
| It was coming from CNN that Russia had invaded Georgia. | ||
| And I jumped the shower real quick, jumped the car, drove in. | ||
| By the time I got to work at about 9 o 'clock, I was checking foreign news channels, including German and others, and they were reporting, actually, well, the Russians got attacked on their border in Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and then they came in. | ||
| And that was all true, but it didn't matter. | ||
| Our media said that Russia had attacked Georgia. | ||
| So if you follow the past actions of the globalists, it looks to me like they're getting ready to launch a larger war against the Russians and try to take back some of the areas that the Russians took in 2014 on their border and, of course, their main pipeline and main Black Sea base there strategically in southern Ukraine. | ||
| That's a really interesting clip because I think it tells you two things immediately that are weird. | ||
| The first is that Alex is somehow okay with Russia's invasion of Ukraine back in 2014 because he thinks that they did it for strategic reasons. | ||
| I guess if that's the standard needed to justify invasions, I can't imagine how Alex could be opposed to literally any military action ever. | ||
| God, we should invade Texas to get their oil reserves, for Christ's sake. | ||
| Well, I mean, think about it. | ||
| Hitler technically invaded Poland for reasons that he felt were strategic interests. | ||
| You needed it. | ||
| So Alex... | ||
| I guess he thinks that's justified. | ||
| Hey, listen. | ||
| That's bizarre. | ||
| You gotta annex the Sudetenland. | ||
| You just gotta. | ||
| It's very weird. | ||
| You just gotta. | ||
| So the second thing you learn is that Alex believes in a completely false version of what happened between Russia and Georgia in 2008. | ||
| Alex's story just isn't true. | ||
| The picture of what led up to that five-day war is very complicated. | ||
| It involves things like NATO's Bucharest Summit Declaration, which announced plans to move forward with plans to have Georgia and Ukraine join the organization, an act that was a hard line for Russia. | ||
| It involved things like the Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili having ambitions to reintegrate the regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia into the Yeah. | ||
| The picture of what happened in 2008 isn't really a subject of some grand conspiracy, and I have no interest in Alex's real take on it, except that this is clearly a part of continuing to establish his preemptive narrative that if anything happens in Russia and Ukraine, Russia is blameless, and it's going to be a globalist attack. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They are just out here trying to get through the day, man. | |
| Putin is an honest, hardworking gentleman. | ||
| He wakes up at 6.30. | ||
| He puts his shoes on. | ||
| He puts his pants on after that because it's a little bit different in Russia, but he goes to work like the rest of us, okay? | ||
| He's a good man! | ||
| You can trust him! | ||
| It's very... | ||
| It's strange because I think that Alex just buys anything that comes out from that media space. | ||
| And I think it's largely just built on a steadfast oppositional defiance to Western news. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Despite the Russia being somehow a beacon of the West also. | ||
| Yes, exactly. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| Yeah, it is strange. | ||
| I'm amazed by anybody who can't have more of a clear-eyed picture of geopolitics as just like a... | ||
| I don't think there's any good guys. | ||
| You know? | ||
| And it's kind of rare that there is a demonic bad guy. | ||
| Yeah, and I would never come to the defense of some... | ||
| Military action. | ||
| I'm not going to be like, no, no, no. | ||
| It's totally cool for Russia to blow this thing. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| Period. | ||
| It's not cool for the United States to blow it up. | ||
| Nobody should be blowing shit up. | ||
| I think in addition to what you're saying, there's not really necessarily quote-unquote good guys. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's also just not clear and uncomplex situations that lead to these kinds of things. | ||
| There's not, like, crystal clear, like, ah, yes, the globalists want to do this, and so they will fake something in order to... | ||
| Like, Alex has these, I don't know, children's story books about, like, how these things happen. | ||
| It's just, it's annoying. | ||
| He greatly downplays the amount of just... | ||
| Opportunism that is involved in global politics. | ||
| Something happens, and then somebody just sees the opportunity to jump on it. | ||
| I don't think Putin is trying to invade Ukraine if there isn't a massive dip in trust in the United States, hegemony, ability of the UN to back up its statements. | ||
| All of this stuff is also due to COVID. | ||
| Or a meeting in January that reaffirmed Ukraine's desire. | ||
| To join NATO. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| There are reasons, there are pictures to this that just... | ||
| And I think that the other thing, too, is that there's a real agency that Alex ascribes to himself and people like Trump. | ||
| And then there is a lack of agency and the individual desires that people have as world leaders. | ||
| It just seems to be absent. | ||
| Everything is just like weird pieces on a board, except for Trump and maybe Ron Paul. | ||
| There's the players, and then there's Ron Paul, and then everybody else is the game. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I mean, the Georgia situation in particular was one where President Saakashvili was driven to reunite the country based on what he felt was the mandate of when he came into power in 2004. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Being able to bring in one of the territories as he was, you thought, like, well, I'll get Abkhazia and South Ossetia back, too. | ||
| No kidding. | ||
| Did not work. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That was... | ||
| And for as much as Alex cares about sovereign borders, it seems like they can be awfully fungible. | ||
| Well, when it's on Russia's border. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's strange. | ||
| It's real weird. | ||
| But again, I don't think it's a fealty to Russia or anything. | ||
| I think it's an opposition to the existing international order that he views as demonic. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's just weird. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So anyway, he's just really, really invested in trying to build up this preemptive narrative that if anything happens, it's a false flag. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| So he can profit off it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's what they're getting ready for. | ||
| That's what they're doing. | ||
| It's incredibly dangerous. | ||
| It's incredibly bad. | ||
| And Tucker Carlson on Friday did a really great job of laying this all out. | ||
| So I don't normally air his whole monologue, but we're going to do it today because... | ||
| Because he did such a great job. | ||
| Let me be clear. | ||
| Alex often re-airs entire Tucker Carlson monologues. | ||
| This is not something that he rarely does. | ||
| So he's not going to host the full four hours. | ||
| He's going to let Tucker do about 15. It's something that he does pretty regularly on his show. | ||
| You know, the first six minutes of the show is not broadcast on a lot of radio stations, and so he'll play John Bowne and Greg Reese reports during that time, and he'll also sometimes just play Tucker Carlson's monologues. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like he's in the fold of these special reporters of InfoWars, but I don't think he consented to it. | ||
| No, but also at the same time, what's he going to do? | ||
| Sue him? | ||
| You know, like, oh, if Tucker sues Alex Jones for copyright, give it to me. | ||
| Give it to me now. | ||
| I mean, it is Fox News' property. | ||
| Yeah, but they're not going to be like, Tucker's not going to go to them and be like, hey, I think you should let him play. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they're like, no, intellectual property! | |
| So Alex has some other things about various Russian-related war. | ||
| That he seems to have some weird positions on. | ||
| The little globalist, anti-American, New World Order operative said, just take my word for it, it's true, they are going to stage a false flag, complete with fake movie productions. | ||
| Meaning anything Russians show, they're going to say is a fake production. | ||
| When it was the white helmets and the blue helmets and the UN got caught, along with a bunch of the Islamics in Syria staging chemical attacks on Assad, which later came out, were staged, and were fake. | ||
| And the little boy that was supposedly dying from the nerve gas, he went on TV and said it was all fake and they paid his dad to have him do it. | ||
| Remember the kids are doing this and they may stop and look. | ||
| I mean, all of that, ladies and gentlemen, is what the globalists do. | ||
| So Alex is very wrong about the larger picture of chemical attacks carried out by Assad in Syria, but that's a long-standing position that he has. | ||
| Possibly because a lot of the people he talks to about geopolitics are Putin and Assad apologists and propagandists. | ||
| But getting into the larger subject of the attacks would probably be too broad of a subject to get into right now. | ||
| But Alex doesn't generally make specific claims about anything, so it's really hard to nail things down. | ||
| But in that clip, he did use a specific, and I want to discuss that a little bit. | ||
| So Alex brings up this Syrian boy who was videotaped being treated for exposure to a chemical attack in Douma in April 2018. | ||
| And he says that he later came out and said that this was all fake and that he was paid to be in the video. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Some of the claims Alex is making here are actually true, but it's critically important to understand the context of what he's saying, because in that light, it becomes clear that these things he's correct about just reveal how wrong Alex is about the larger picture. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| So the child in question is 11-year-old Hassan Diab, who's seen on video having his eyes washed after a chemical attack. | ||
| In the video, this is a video that made the rounds really quickly because it was something where journalists... | ||
| Evocative of everything that was going on. | ||
| And reporters couldn't get into the city, and people couldn't get out, so this footage getting out was very shocking. | ||
| So this obviously was very threatening as an image to folks like Assad and his backers, like Russia. | ||
| So there was a large-scale campaign that launched to discredit this video and use it as proof that the humanitarian groups in it were actually propagandist liars trying to lure the U.S. into attacking Syria. | ||
| The way they set out to do this was to release an interview on the state-owned Russia24 channel where Diab is interviewed and says that there wasn't an attack and he didn't know why people were putting water on him. | ||
| And they didn't say that he got paid to say these things. | ||
| He got food from these humanitarian people. | ||
| So that is a video that Alex has seen and is the basis for his contention that people were faking being the victims of chemical weapons attacks. | ||
| But I would strongly suggest that Alex should look a little bit deeper into the reality of that video because it's full of red flags. | ||
| The day after the video was shot, Russian military took over DOMA and then refused to let inspectors from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons in until two weeks after that point, at least partially due to possibly legitimate concerns about their safety due to unexploded munitions and such. | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There may have been some part of it that was a legitimate concern, but it also is a little Red flags gone up, but it's not a... | |
| Conclusive. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In the meantime, this video with Diab was shot not in Doma, where he lived, but in Damascus, which is about a half-hour drive away. | ||
| Initially, the reporter for Russia24 was evasive about the context of the interview that they did, but it eventually came out that it was done at the Syrian Army Officers Club, a location that was generally full of Russian military and analysts. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know, it's like how whenever you want to have an interrogation, you know, you want to have... | ||
| If I'm being interrogated, I want to have, like, 30 police officers all pointing guns at my head while I answer questions. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Pedobny had... | ||
| as the journalist, had previously claimed that it hadn't been done there. | ||
| But The Intercept reported on, quote, "an exhaustive crowdsourced search for images the exterior of the building, and it's definitely there. | ||
| Then there's the question of the presence of three uniformed military guys in the background for part of the report, something that doesn't scream, this is above board. | ||
| Podobny, quote, insisted they were merely on their way to a local cafe. | ||
| The reality is that it's just not possible to take this interview at face value. | ||
| There's just far too many places where intimidation could be present, and it seems sketchy, and things that are being said about the context of the video are shown to not be accurate in hindsight. | ||
| It should be allowed, and in fact, I think... | ||
| Required by law to throw a handful of flour into the face of any military person saying they were on their way to a cafe. | ||
| Go fuck yourself. | ||
| How dare you? | ||
| Here's a baguette. | ||
| How dare you? | ||
| Right in the face. | ||
| Do you want to try that again? | ||
| Another one right in the face! | ||
| So then there's another really serious problem with the video, which is, at the end, they purport to be interviewing a former militant who claims that he made staged victim videos. | ||
| As the person is talking, the news report shows images of a group of people creating staged shots of victims, clearly implying that this is corroborating what the interview subject is talking about and are actually shots of him and his crew creating fake videos to demonize Assad. | ||
| Instead, they were lifetime recreations that were... | ||
| The video is very... | ||
| clearly trying to make that point. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
However, these are still images from the shooting of a dramatic film directed by Humam Hussari, a Syrian filmmaker. | |
| He was making a movie where the plot revolved around a dramatized version of a previous chemical attack that he lived through in 2013. | ||
| The intent to mislead the viewer is very clear here, and there's very real concerns. | ||
| It's a couple-minute-long video. | ||
| It makes it very, very hard to trust. | ||
| Then, in 2019, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons put out their final report about the attack in Doma. | ||
| Their conclusion was, quote, regarding the alleged use of toxic chemicals as a weapon on the 7th of April 2018 in Doma, the Syrian Arab Republic, the evaluation and analysis of all the information gathered by the FBI Right. | ||
| reasonable grounds that the use of toxic chemical as a weapon took place. | ||
| Right. | ||
| contained reactive chlorine, the toxic chemical was likely molecular chlorine. | ||
| Anyway, the point here is that Alex is a chemical weapon attack denier and he accepted that very dubious video as being real because it affirmed the conclusion he had already decided. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| So, in so doing, he has twisted himself into a place where defending people who cover up horrific atrocities because of strategic needs. | ||
| I guess so, yeah. | ||
| I mean, I think that even if Alex were backed into a corner where he had to admit that these attacks are real, like, there's a part of him that seems like he would still... | ||
| Well, they had to. | ||
| I mean, they had to do them. | ||
| Well, you're fighting the devil. | ||
| You are. | ||
| Like, I understand that we don't want to do these rules of war stuff, but you know what? | ||
| When you're fighting an enemy this bad, anything's okay. | ||
| It's really strange. | ||
| I think it's abhorrent, and I find it to be the sort of thing that... | ||
| Doesn't get maybe enough attention in terms of some of his positions, but I think in hindsight is something that may be more relevant. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's something that I think should haunt him. | ||
| It should linger. | ||
| So many things should be haunting people. | ||
| So many things. | ||
| So Alex gets into talking about China and the Olympics. | ||
| Not really the Olympics. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Sort of the Olympics. | ||
| Well, thereabouts. | ||
| There was someone who was at the Olympics who was trying to do a live remote shot. | ||
| No! | ||
| And the Chinese authorities got in the way. | ||
| Uh-oh, censorship. | ||
| Just a few days ago on Thursday, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, got up on TV and said, do not protest, do not speak out, do not criticize anything when you're in China or you'll get disappeared like this Dutch reporter. | ||
| TV viewers can see this. | ||
| The video is posted up on Infowars.com. | ||
| Dutch reporter hauled off by CCP officials during Olympics live report because they didn't like what he had to say. | ||
| You see the red armband of the fought police that he was taken away to a police facility reportedly will be deported if he's lucky. | ||
| They disappear him. | ||
| So, to be clear, the way that the Chinese police shut down this Dutch reporter's live shot at the Olympics is kind of chilling. | ||
| It's not acceptable, really. | ||
| That said, Alex is a bit out of line, saying that the guy was disappeared. | ||
| When someone is disappeared, they disappear. | ||
| That's what the word means. | ||
| Tends to. | ||
| Yeah, and in this case, the reporter wasn't even dragged off to a facility to be deported, like Alex is claiming. | ||
| He was accosted by the police, but no one was hurt, and then, like a minute later, he was able to reset and start broadcasting again. | ||
| So Alex is just making up all this shit. | ||
| There's a lot of issues with press freedom in China, and it's a scary incident, but Alex is literally making things up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's not true what happened. | ||
| Which, again, you do not need to do with China. | ||
| Well... | ||
| If you would like an example of someone being censored or disappeared, it's not hard to find one. | ||
| You don't need to make it up. | ||
| Right, but it would require you to do a little bit of work. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| It would require you to read something, maybe care, whereas the alternative is you can watch a video that you saw on Twitter and then make up a story about it. | ||
| Oh man, that sounds so much easier. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| It's a lot easier. | ||
| I'd rather do that. | ||
| I'll do that one. | ||
| So as for Pelosi, she said, quote, I would say to our athletes, you're there to compete. | ||
| Do not risk incurring the anger of the Chinese government because they are ruthless. | ||
| Honestly, if Alex were the Speaker of the House, I imagine his statement would be like something similar, but it'd be way more sensational and angry. | ||
| Anyway, the White House came out and said that they disagree with Pelosi and they support any athletes that feel the need to protest, which is confusing because I listen to Alex Jones and I know that these people like Pelosi and Biden and Jen Psaki, they're all one big globalist blob working towards the same goal, so it doesn't compute how they have disagreements like this about a geopolitical stance. | ||
| Yeah, weird. | ||
| All of them can't possibly be true. | ||
| Somewhat stupid. | ||
| As well. | ||
| I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's probably bad if you're the Speaker of the House to just be like, shut up! | ||
| The government will fucking kill you! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That might be a little bit aggressive. | ||
| It's certainly un-tactful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a little un-tactful! | |
| I would, if I were her, maybe express things slightly differently. | ||
| Yeah, like maybe see what Ai Weiwei has to think about. | ||
| You know, he was there for the last time China hosted the Olympics and he has bad thoughts about it. | ||
| I'll tell you that right now. | ||
| Didn't go well for him. | ||
| And then the White House could express things better than like, smoke them if you got them. | ||
| What is anyone doing? | ||
| Why doesn't anyone... | ||
| I thought when we voted for Democrats, the idea was we would get adults. | ||
| Now we just have older idiots. | ||
| They're a little bit more adult. | ||
| Well, they don't swear as much, I guess. | ||
| Well, that takes some self-control, which comes with age. | ||
| I suppose. | ||
| So, look. | ||
| This isn't weird. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alex decides... | ||
| I don't know exactly why. | ||
| But he decides that he needs to lay out what the world powers are. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| That's a bad idea for him. | ||
| Yeah, it's a little strange. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I found this to be really dumb. | ||
| All right, let's hear it. | ||
| Communist China is a competing tyranny to the globalists that have hijacked America. | ||
| And they're a competing power structure to the European Union and the Russians. | ||
| Those are the major power structures that are governmental. | ||
| There's the United States and the Anglo-American corporate combine. | ||
| That's what they call themselves. | ||
| There is the EU that's partially outlawed with that. | ||
| There is the Communist Chinese and there is the Russians. | ||
| Now above that is the Davos Group and the UN and the multinational corporations that form the New World Order. | ||
| And they are in full control of the Anglo-American establishment military arm. | ||
| That is the UK and the US and the Commonwealth nations. | ||
| And so that's why you see the U.S. as a quasi-commonwealth nation now. | ||
| On every channel, they celebrated the Queen's 70th year of reign today and how magnificent it is and how wondrous. | ||
| That didn't start until the 20s when British intelligence began infiltrating and taking over the U.S. government. | ||
| By the way, they've all written books on it. | ||
| It's not denied at Ph.D. level classes at Georgetown. | ||
| They teach you at Harvard and Georgetown and the Foreign Service that you are in the Queen's service. | ||
| So that part at the end there about how this isn't denied at the PhD level, we're all taught to be under the Queen, that's just Alex riffing about things he misremembers or even just made up about Carol Quigley's book Tragedy and Hope. | ||
| You can tell because he referenced Georgetown, and that's a dead giveaway. | ||
| Also, my dad got his PhD from Harvard, and he claims that they never mentioned being under the Queen. | ||
| Never? | ||
| Maybe he was in the wrong department, though. | ||
| Not once. | ||
| Not once? | ||
| That's even more suspicious than if they had said it a couple of times. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| And when I was a kid, he was a big fan of things like faulty towers and Monty Python. | ||
| Oh, shit! | ||
| And we know how John Cleese turned out. | ||
| Yeah, so this might be a cover story. | ||
| This is trouble. | ||
| So I want to take a minute. | ||
| I noticed you were taking notes, and I appreciate that. | ||
| I'm glad, because this power structure is sloppy. | ||
| You can see my notes. | ||
| There's some arrows. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So there are four... | ||
| Superbasic governmental powers, which is the U.S., also known as the Anglo-American establishment, the EU, Russia, and China. | ||
| This seems wildly simplistic, considering that it means that there's literally no power structures that matter in South America, Central America, Africa, the Middle East, or Southeast Asia. | ||
| That seems nuts. | ||
| Well, they've got their own stuff going on. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So then there's the Davos Group and the UN, by which Alex actually means the World Economic Forum and the UN, who make up the New World Order along with some other NGOs Alex doesn't want to specify. | ||
| They rule over the four other powers, or three, depending on if you want to pretend that the Anglo-American group and the EU are in cahoots or not. | ||
| They're a little bit in cahoots. | ||
| If I understand correctly, he said that they were a little bit aligned. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Gotcha. | ||
| Sort of. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Apparently, the top level has full control over the Anglo-Americans and the EU. | ||
| But not China and Russia, which is why we have articles online about the Queen. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I really don't know what to say about this other than to say that I think this is stupid, and it serves as an attempt to oversimplify the incredibly complex picture of geopolitical interaction. | ||
| Most of the world isn't even active in Alex's conception of things, which is weird, and there are a ton of examples of world events that would seem to call this whole thing into question. | ||
| Oh, like what? | ||
| Get one! | ||
| Brexit. | ||
| Like, the EU... | ||
| Alright, well, that's fair. | ||
| The UK was in the EU, so that means it was part of the Anglo-American group and the EU group, but then it wanted to leave the EU, which most of the EU and the US were not in favor of, which doesn't make any sense if Alex's grand portrait actually reflected reality. | ||
| It's nonsense. | ||
| No, the UK is now the EU patriots, like how the patriots in the United States are the patriots of the United... | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| UK is the Tennessee of the EU, I guess is what I'm saying. | ||
| I don't know how that tracks. | ||
| But I think what you see here is Alex giving a really shallow assessment of world relations, based mostly on words he remembers from a book written in the 70s that he didn't actually read, but instead just understands through misrepresentations of that book that were published by W. Cleon Skousen. | ||
| Alex kind of realizes that there isn't much for him to say, so he just kind of retreats to that Queen impression and rambling about how they teach you at the high levels of Ivy League education that were secretly under the British monarchy. | ||
| It's silly. | ||
| So tell me more about these lines that you have drawn here. | ||
| So what I was trying to figure out is who's on whose side slash who's under and over whom. | ||
| So the UN and such was over, I thought, three. | ||
| I thought they also encountered... | ||
| China underneath their control. | ||
| Well, duh. | ||
| Yeah, they did. | ||
| All of it is under the UN. | ||
| Russia is not under... | ||
| Russia's fighting against the tyranny, right? | ||
| Russia's a member of the UN. | ||
| Yeah, but it's fighting against the tyranny of the UN. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| But it's not underneath the globalists. | ||
| Like, that's what I'm trying to... | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no. | |
| There are four major powers. | ||
| Right. | ||
| All right, not all four of them are under the evil... | ||
| Yes, they are. | ||
| No! | ||
| They can't be! | ||
| Well, unfortunately, they are. | ||
| Which also doesn't make sense. | ||
| That doesn't make any sense! | ||
| No. | ||
| So the UN and the World Economic Forum and these non-governmental organizations, they're on top of everything. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Yes, I've just called them globalists. | ||
| Yes, because that's what it means. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| They're on top of everything. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Everything is underneath that. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Total control over the Anglo-American and EU groups. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Less control over China and Russia, which calls into question if they're actually above them or not. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| But who are the two tyrannies? | ||
| The two tyrannies are China and the globalists, but China's underneath the globalists on top of them? | ||
| Yes, but they're also a competing system of tyrannies. | ||
| You know, sometimes words can just be fun, you know? | ||
| They can just be whatever you want them to be. | ||
| I think I kind of get what Alex wants to say here, or what he's trying to say. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But I don't think it makes any sense. | ||
| No. | ||
| He's saying that the globalists are in charge of everything, and, you know, the UK, the EU, the United States, they're all, like... | ||
| In on it. | ||
| And they're cool with it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Whereas China was cool with it, but now they're fighting against it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And then Russia is always... | ||
| Always been for the little guy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, yeah, they're like the defense against the overarching... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure, why not? | |
| Let's throw that in there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| It's a little dumb. | ||
| So, Alex gets into... | ||
| Man, there's just more geopolitical conversation. | ||
| It's just stupid. | ||
| China was set up by the New World Order. | ||
| China was set up by this entire system, and now what did Xi Jinping start doing in the last five years? | ||
| He said, no, I'm going to have a big military too, not just control the world's raw materials and resources. | ||
| That's the deal they've made. | ||
| China will do all the manufacturing, control the world that way, but the West will have the military. | ||
| China, of course, double-crossed, didn't follow that, and is now trying to take over the United States with their spies and operatives. | ||
| That's a big double-cross. | ||
| There weren't any Chinese spies. | ||
| It's like panicking, saying, oh my God, they're everywhere. | ||
| They're taking over. | ||
| Good Lord, help us. | ||
| Because they were so busy trying to crush America and take our guns and dumb us down and cut our sons' penises off, literally, as their sacrament of Satanism, that now the Chi-Coms have double-crossed them and own Hollywood and everything else. | ||
| And are rolling up the Democrats as spies. | ||
| So suddenly all these Chi-Com agents are suddenly saying China's a threat, but only because they're in trouble. | ||
| What? | ||
| So that's where all this is going. | ||
| Ah, I see. | ||
| So, in 2018, the Chinese military had about 2.7 million members. | ||
| In 1995, they had 4.1 million enlisted, so I honestly have no idea what Alex is talking about here. | ||
| In contrast, the U.S. has about 1.3 million active personnel, but those numbers aren't really the most important thing, necessarily, in terms of building up the army. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| In terms of spending, even though China has boosted its defense budget in recent years, they're still only spending about a third of what we do. | ||
| While it is true that the gross number of dollars that China is spending on defense has gone up steadily in the past 20 to 25 years, not the last five years, the percent of their GDP that's being spent on defense has actually gone down. | ||
| In 1990, they were spending approximately 2.5% of GDP on it, compared to 1.8% in 2019. | ||
| So relatively, their spending is going down. | ||
| And it's not a phenomenon that's been going on over the last five years. | ||
| It's been a consistent thing for a while. | ||
| I like the idea that it's impossible for us to really keep in perspective that America spends 40 fucking percent of its budget on the military for no reason other than money for them. | ||
| Really. | ||
| It's corrupt. | ||
| But then they're like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you can't increase your military spending from $5 to $12. | ||
| I can't handle that shit. | ||
| Well, we gotta keep up then. | ||
| We gotta bump ours up. | ||
| Yeah, I guess we'll spend $10. | ||
| Trillion dollars. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| You shouldn't have spent 12. Yeah. | ||
| So Alex basically has this conspiracy theory that there was a deal struck, that the United States would have the military might for the New World Order, China would have control over raw materials and manufacturing, and that the city of London would be the center of banking. | ||
| Yeah, did Eisenhower strike that one? | ||
| Yeah, with the aliens. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| No word yet on what any of the rest of the world does, but I'm sure it's in the fine print of this conspiracy contract Alex is imagining everyone's side. | ||
| Honestly, I don't know what to say to something like this other than it's dumb and a bizarre oversimplification of world events and history. | ||
| I've never heard Alex actually back this up, this claim, with anything meaningful, but once he did say that it was like that movie Rollerball, so I guess he must be onto something. | ||
| Yeah, that does make sense. | ||
| Which one? | ||
| James Caan or...? | ||
| The original, yeah. | ||
| Okay, good. | ||
| This is just a way for Alex to explain away how Soros has been critical of China lately and called Xi a threat to open societies in the world. | ||
| Alex has spent years yelling about how Soros is one of the heads of the globalists who are in league with Islam and China to take out the noble American whites. | ||
| So now that Soros is making some high profile comments that are critical to China's leadership, he needs to have a story to allow his audience to take in that news without questioning Alex's previous narratives. | ||
| The problem is, though, that you can find instances of Soros criticizing China in the past, particularly in the not-too-distant past. | ||
| In 2019, he said of the U.S. and China, quote, The reality is that we're in a Cold War that threatens to turn into a hot one. | ||
| In 2020, he said, That won't be easy. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| In 2019, he also said, quote, There was a lot of optimism in a lot of Soros' comments prior to around this point, but you have to understand one of the main reasons that things changed. | ||
| In earlier times, it looked like China's government was opening up to the world and the progress was being made on that front. | ||
| But then, in 2018, Xi abolished term limits and essentially made himself into a dictator. | ||
| And this definitely changed how the situation looked to Soros, someone interested in open societies. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| And I think that's what... | ||
| You know, people think this a lot, but if you just abolish term limits, you still have to win the election. | ||
| You won the last one. | ||
| Yeah, but see, now he has to win the next one. | ||
| It's totally fine that he did that, and it is not him declaring that he's a dictator for life. | ||
| Yeah, it's basically an alley-oop to the next person who wins. | ||
| I mean, that's wild. | ||
| You're the John Stockton of dictators. | ||
| Yes, yes. | ||
| So Soros has been pretty clear about this stuff in his comments and speeches in the past, but Alex hides all that information from his audience because it doesn't really fit with the narratives. | ||
| Now that this thing about Soros is making some headlines, Alex needs to contextualize it for the audience, and the best way... | ||
| And if you can, remind people, especially your audience, that they are coming for your children's penises. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They're coming for them. | ||
| Get some transphobia in the mix. | ||
| They are just coming for them. | ||
| The demons need... | ||
| So, one of the things that I found really remarkable about this episode is that there are stretches of things that are just all not true. | ||
| Like Alex saying various things, sometimes even in list form, that are just not true. | ||
| Just a long strand of not true things. | ||
| This is all fake. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Again, the entire New World Order program is about suppression of information when they make their big... | ||
| Biomedical tyranny takeover move that is in Operation Dark Winter, that is in Operation Lockstep, that is in Operation Event 201 and many others, down to the finest details of how they would create the virus, release the virus, and then train us to live in fear, and then forcibly inject us with a gene therapy that erases our immune system. | ||
| And then give us a world ID through the vaccine passport via the phones to track and trace everywhere we go and control what we do. | ||
| All of that is made up. | ||
| None of that is connected in any way to reality. | ||
| I was looking for something pretty hard. | ||
| It's really in all those operations? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| It's in all of them? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| It's in all of them. | ||
| Also, Operation Dark Winter was a real operation. | ||
| That was a training exercise that I think was about smallpox many years ago. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Well, that's obvious. | ||
| Operation Lockstep, is it a real operation? | ||
| Real operation. | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| Operation Event 201 is an operation. | ||
| Operation Event 201 is obviously an operation. | ||
| Role-playing exercise. | ||
| Operation Event 201. | ||
| It's a great one. | ||
| I love that operation. | ||
| So fucking stupid. | ||
| So anyway, all of this non-real thing, all of these things, have added up to prove that this is all, this COVID stuff is all shenanigans. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Shenanigans might be putting it lightly for Alex's terms, but thankfully there's a ray of hope in the world. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And I'm going to air some incredible excerpts from a very important event taking place in Germany. | ||
| Event 202? | ||
| Right now. | ||
| Where they are having an international criminal court hearing with top judges, lawyers, scientists, and others, and they have handed down the findings of recommended indictments. | ||
| Now, one of the things that the Pentagon, going back to the 1940s when it said it was in the business of freedom, said it's important to do is to first have people's courts. | ||
| But with prestigious people. | ||
| That's what the Declaration of Independence was. | ||
| What? | ||
| Continental Congress. | ||
| And then you put the evidence on so the public sees it. | ||
| And that day the newspapers should come and write about it. | ||
| The public would then debate about it, decide what they wanted to do. | ||
| Committees of correspondence grew in to the Continental Congress in July 4th and the rest is history. | ||
| You go into the Pentagon's 198 ways. | ||
| For civil disobedience and nonviolent resistance, one of the main ones is mock trials and mock juries. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| So that wasn't something that was put out by the Pentagon, the 198 ways of resistance, nonviolent resistance. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It was a list that was written by a guy named Gene Sharp, who was a political scientist and Nobel Prize nominee who wrote on resisting dictatorships. | ||
| Weirdly, holding fake trials isn't actually on that list. | ||
| Giving out mock awards and holding mock elections, those are on the list, but Alex's claim that holding mock trials is something that is a main entry on this list is just him making shit up to overhype a bunch of idiots in Germany pretending to do court shit. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not sure that mock trials are such an important piece of American legal tradition, and I don't think that it really matches up with the story. | |
| I mean, Judge Judy, Judge Joe Brown, uh... | ||
| These are all mock trials, really. | ||
| Mock trials are, like, good for education purposes, sort of. | ||
| And entertainment purposes, obviously. | ||
| I don't think that the Continental Congress was really a mock trial, either. | ||
| But it was entertaining. | ||
| It was the uniting of delegates from the colonies to make actual demands of Britain. | ||
| It wasn't mock at all. | ||
| It was 100% very real. | ||
| Yeah, these people in Germany are not going to be reaching the same kind of outcome. | ||
| Like, actual demands. | ||
| They advise, like, indictments and stuff. | ||
| Like, yeah, okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| You guys have fun. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Here's an indictment from Fauci. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're so powerful. | |
| Oh, you're so powerful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jackoff motion. | |
| Oh, good for you. | ||
| So this group in Germany has called itself the People's Court of Public Opinion, and they're not, as Alex is claiming, top judges, lawyers, and scientists. | ||
| It's conspiracy lunatics presenting their conspiracy nonsense in front of little mics while wearing suits, so it looks more official than if the same things are just being yelled by Alex. | ||
| Right. | ||
| For instance, the legal representative for the United States is a woman named Deanna Sachs. | ||
| On January 24th, Deanna spoke about her involvement in this trial in an interview with Jim Fetzer, the guy who wrote the book No One Died at Sandy Hook, who Alex is desperate not to be associated with. | ||
| The rest of her Twitter feed is mostly just anti-vax blog posts and retweets of Robert Kennedy Jr. | ||
| Great. | ||
| The other rep from the United States is Nancy Anna Garner, who was almost sanctioned recently by the courts in Albuquerque after she wrote the judge a letter that was quote, truly shocking. | ||
|
unidentified
|
laughing From an article. | |
| From an article about the incident. | ||
| Quote, in part of the letter, she called masks a face diaper, and then went on and compared mandate enforcement to Nazi Germany, called Governor Michelle Lugin Grisham a quote, phony, and said vaccines are experimental gene therapy. | ||
| This was in a case where she was representing a restaurant that was trying to get damages against the city for needing to be shut down during COVID, and I guess she thought that letter was going to be useful for the case somehow. | ||
| Yeah, she had her Mr. Smith goes to Washington moment. | ||
| So when asked to apologize, she said, quote, I just wanted to show them, you want to play insane? | ||
| I could play insane too. | ||
| That is said by people who are never playing. | ||
| So I wanted it to be shocking. | ||
| And yes, I liberally used a couple of swear words. | ||
| As the judge said, I think I insulted every branch of government. | ||
| She asked that I withdraw it, and I did withdraw it, but I meant every word of it. | ||
| Prestigious lawyer. | ||
| That I like. | ||
| That I like. | ||
| I mean, there are many lawyers that I've liked, but... | ||
| Pretty solid stuff. | ||
| Can't argue with that one. | ||
| I do like to, like, just imagining what... | ||
| Goal is served by this letter being said? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Just feeling good. | ||
| I mean, that's prestigious. | ||
| I would take that as prestigious. | ||
| I feel like this is probably, like, malpractice on the part, like, if her client didn't want her to do this, I feel like they might be able to sue her now. | ||
| Yeah, I'm gonna throw this out there. | ||
| I think Bull would kick her out of the people's night court. | ||
| So this trial is a meaningless exercise of repeating the same old conspiracy anti-vax talking points in order to dangle red meat. | ||
| Out in front of people like Alex, who will get really excited and sell it to his audiences if this is the move that's finally going to bring about a worldwide recognition that you, listener, you have been right about being anti-vax all this time. | ||
| All this time, everyone said that you were an asshole and prolonged the pandemic, but no, these absolute weirdos in Germany are pretending to have a court hearing and they're going to vindicate everything you've ever done. | ||
| So there's nothing meaningful about this at all. | ||
| It's basically just the international version of Jacob Wall's front porch publicity stunts. | ||
| Or, you know what I was thinking, too, is a lot of people in Alex's orbit do do this stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like Reverend Manning up in New York, he held that weird mock trial of Obama. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Well, I mean, you know, the Pope dug up another Pope and held a mock trial, man. | ||
| This goes way back. | ||
| But that wasn't recently. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Benedict did not dig up another Pope. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| I feel like these folks... | ||
| Really value the attention gathering that having a mock trial does, because also you give the appearance of it having any kind of legal meaning, and then the people who take in your content will understand it that way, too, and disseminate it. | ||
| Push it further. | ||
| It's just a dumb publicity game. | ||
| I just think of all the out-of-work actors who would give anything to go to Germany and put on a play for a couple of weeks, you know? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| There's no difference. | ||
| Well, first, you need a law degree, and then you need to write a judge a weird letter. | ||
| You don't need a law degree for that letter, I'll tell you that right now. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| I could probably pull that one out. | ||
| So look, we got these weirdos in Germany. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| We got Rand Paul saying that if the Republicans take over in the Congress... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're going after Fauci. | ||
| All hell is going to break loose. | ||
| But that's not all. | ||
| Paul promises investigation of Fauci. | ||
| Republicans take a sentence. | ||
| You're like, well, promises, promises. | ||
| Oh, but guess what? | ||
| Congress has now started an investigation into Fauci and gain of function. | ||
| So that's very, very important. | ||
| And as this happens, because you can see all these articles, I go through them, I mix them up. | ||
| Guys, I had the article in my stack where Congress announces, and the committee announces, even though Democrats are in control, an investigation of the Wuhan virus origin and Fauci gain-of-function. | ||
| That was the biggest story today. | ||
| And for some reason, I just got it mixed into my stack and cannot find it. | ||
| But it was here. | ||
| Top story. | ||
| Can't find it. | ||
| Maybe you should have smaller stacks. | ||
| That could help. | ||
| Or have a different workflow. | ||
| The paper in front of you is clearly not effective. | ||
| It's not going to help. | ||
| So this is just a story about the Republicans in the Oversight and Reform Committee, James Comer, Steve Scalise, and Jim Jordan, calling in seven scientists to testify who they believe were pressured by people like Fauci to claim that the virus wasn't likely to have come from the lab in Wuhan. | ||
| The issue they have is that some of them, like the UK's Jeremy Farrar, had made statements that he was 50-50 on the lab leak versus natural origin prior to a conference call on February 2020 where Fauci was involved. | ||
| He was a part of that conference call. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
After that point, he was less convinced by the lab leak theory. | |
| This naturally proves that Fauci put the squeeze on him and got him involved in a cover-up as opposed to the possibility that a bunch of information and science was discussed in the call, which made for our changes assessment toward viewing the lab leak theory as less likely. | ||
| Anyway, this is just another grandstanding publicity stunt by these folks in the GOP who are essentially creating names and bank accounts for themselves by attacking public health officials. | ||
| If there's some evidence that there's actually a cover-up, then great. | ||
| Come out with it. | ||
| But I've seen this game played so many times already, and I know this is going to be a zero, and it's just going to be like Rand Paul yelling at Fauci. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like it's just going to be that again. | |
| No, I mean, it's like three... | ||
| I mean, it's like three cavemen trying to ask aliens how to fly. | ||
| But they're smart enough to know that they can get millions of dollars for it. | ||
| Man, I've read Sitchin. | ||
| I know what you're talking about. | ||
| It's just like you have no context for anything that they could try and explain to you, and you don't care. | ||
| Yeah, and the problem, too, is the hostility of the questioning will disallow any kind of actual... | ||
| Because I'm sure that a lot of times these scientists would be willing to explain things. | ||
| They would be happy to explain them. | ||
| But they're being treated as hostile witnesses and badgered. | ||
| They're talking to a bunch of cavemen with clubs who are mad about the bright lights in the sky. | ||
| It's counterproductive. | ||
| It's not good. | ||
| Speaking of counterproductive, Roger Stone is back. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Got to do all four hours. | ||
| Well, Roger will be on later, but Alex has an announcement of something that breaking news with Roger. | ||
| Roger Stone's joining us in the next hour, and I should have hyped this better. | ||
| I just get so much in my mind going on because he's been on fire lately. | ||
| He's always informative, and he has been heavily involved with the massive canvassing in Florida and other states that I saw being covered on OAN Friday, but he's been involved in it. | ||
| And they have found 30-40% of the voters are fake. | ||
| That's a lot. | ||
| And they found that, of course, it's for the Democrats. | ||
| Huge number. | ||
| Almost none of it is skewed towards Republicans. | ||
| There is some of that, but 90-plus percent is skewed towards Democrats. | ||
| So they show up at people's houses that voted in the last election, and they go, no, we've lived here five years. | ||
| And that person never lived here. | ||
| I bought this house from A or Z. In some of the cases, they go, yeah, that guy moved out six months ago. | ||
| But in large portions of the cases, it's totally fake. | ||
| But the people are voting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Woo! | |
| Alex and Roger are going into reruns. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| This is a story Roger tried to push last October, but it went nowhere, so I guess he's trying to breathe some new life into it. | ||
| Try and push donations or something. | ||
| Maybe he needs money in order to make sure that this canvassing gets into the right hand. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, I'm sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| And it's crazy that it's all on the Democrats. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| 30 to 40 percent? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
| I swear, if you really start getting into what Alex thinks, like... | ||
| If you believe everything Alex says, you have to think there's like 50 Democrats in the United States. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| You know, like total. | ||
| I think that's what he wants his... | ||
| Yeah, that's what he wants them to think. | ||
| We're the massive majority. | ||
| Well, you kind of also have to think about the dynamics of a lot of people that are listening to his show. | ||
| Like, I think a lot of his stalwart audience are people who are in more disconnected areas. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| Less urban areas. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| There are plus 26 districts, if you will. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I think semi-rural. | ||
| And I think that one of the things that is advantageous about that for Alex... | ||
| Is that he's able to create portraits that play on the fears and prejudices that people have of urban areas who don't live in them. | ||
| And so I think that you can paint this picture of crime everywhere. | ||
| Like on our last episode about how downtown Austin isn't safe for anybody to wander through or whatever. | ||
| You're able to sell that to an audience that has no involvement in living in a city or a big city. | ||
| And I think the same thing is true of presenting the demographics of Democrats. | ||
| It is believable if you live in an area where everyone around you is Republican, you can think, oh yeah, it is probably true that there's only 50 Democrats. | ||
| And I think even that bias does exist on the other side, too, with some people who are so cloistered and insulated and just hanging out with and experiencing Democrats that they can think that it's impossible that anybody would be on the right. | ||
| But I think that Alex plays into that. | ||
| It serves his purposes very well. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it does. | ||
| It is always smart to, if you are dealing with people who don't expose themselves to other things frequently, it is a lot easier to tell them that other things you should not expose yourself to. | ||
| Shouldn't expose yourself to them, and let me tell you about them. | ||
| Yeah, and let me tell you why you shouldn't, because they're evil, and they'll get you killed, and they're stealing your penises! | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| So, Alex is going to introduce Roger here, but first... | ||
| You need some money. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| They have gone to grand jury after grand jury, and I don't say this like thumb in my nose. | ||
| Like, ha-ha, you've gone to a bunch of grand juries to indict me, and they haven't. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm not somebody that dances by graveyards. | ||
| No, I'm not feeling slick and feeling like, oh, no, I'm like, my God, we got a criminal government here. | ||
| And my lawyers are like, don't tell people what's been going on. | ||
| Let's just say this. | ||
| I tell folks you better pray for us. | ||
| You might just, you know, see me in jail or dead with these people coming after us as bad. | ||
| Same with Roger. | ||
| This isn't a game. | ||
| They're trying to start war with Russia right now. | ||
| So listen, I don't want to sit there and prove to you how serious this is by us going off the air in six months because of finances. | ||
| I don't want to have to prove to you how serious this is by us losing the country or having World War III with Russia. | ||
| I want to be peaceful, Democrat, Republican, all of us. | ||
| This is the time. | ||
| To come together and say no to the multinational corporations that have launched this new world order. | ||
| And they're playing us all against each other. | ||
| Because I don't care if you're a Republican, a Democrat, gay, straight, live in Canada, live in Mexico. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| The new world order, the Great Reset, is not good for you. | ||
| You can wear the mask, go along with the shots, pretend you're part of the power structure, but you're only engaged in the Stockholm Syndrome. | ||
| So usually I ask for support at the end of an interview with Roger and myself, but I'm just going to up front say this. | ||
| The way our finances work and with supply chains broken down, now 25 weeks to get products, I'm having to put the money in not six weeks before I get the product to have it manufactured, half the money. | ||
| I'm having to put it out 20 plus weeks. | ||
| So we got stuff coming in a few weeks that I paid for 20 weeks ago. | ||
| And then now I'm having to, okay, well, let's put it out 10 weeks and put it out 20 weeks. | ||
| Because of that, we don't have the cash flow to do that to even be able to sell funds. | ||
| So I need everybody now to do things like get a Reset Wars membership and watch the course. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ah. | |
| Well, that would be good for him because Reset Wars wouldn't have any kind of shipping issues or any kind of supply chain. | ||
| That would just be pure profit. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| For him, so that would be good. | ||
| Also, I don't think it makes sense that things that he ordered 20 weeks ago are now coming in if this is a new thing that supply chains are now that he needs to put 20 weeks in the future. | ||
| It should be things that he ordered six weeks ago. | ||
| You can't judge him ex post facto, Dad. | ||
| I know that from my not-a-law degree. | ||
| Also, I mean, if you're out of supplies and you need to order things that'll come in in six months, you're fucked. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| That is absolutely not a real depiction of his situation. | ||
| That's nonsense. | ||
| Go to a bank and tell them that's your situation and that you need an extension on your loans and see how they treat that. | ||
| They'll be like, but I guess you're foreclosed upon now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so Alex wants to drive people to Reset Wars, I guess. | ||
| Which again is because it's just money. | ||
| No overhead. | ||
| But I think people might have noticed that I have maybe become a little bit less concerned with Reset Wars and maybe... | ||
| The drive to cover it has been less. | ||
| And one of the reasons for that, I actually couldn't talk about until after the deposition came out. | ||
| Because there was a question about it in the deposition, and here's what Alex said about Reset Wars. | ||
| Reset Wars is somebody else's company. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, what is Reset Wars? | |
| Is that affiliated to Free Speech Systems in any way, or you? | ||
| No, that is somebody else's company. | ||
| That is for promotions. | ||
| So it's not, like, it's very clear that Alex isn't really, he just gets a cut. | ||
| Goddamn. | ||
| The Reset Wars as a company isn't even Info Wars. | ||
| It's not Alex. | ||
| It's not Free Speech Systems. | ||
| It's Jake Doocy and his hypnotism bullshit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And he got Alex to be the front man for these videos for a fee. | ||
| And so the part about it where Alex is like, this is my most important work I've ever done. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| After you kind of get the sense of like he's willing to just like, that's somebody else's shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It took a little bit of the... | ||
| Yeah, when you see Brad Pitt hawking some product in an old Japanese ad, and you're like, that's clearly you just... | ||
| You know what? | ||
| You don't even care. | ||
| You're just doing a commercial for the cash. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Good for you. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Fuck off. | ||
| That's because he's not... | ||
| Built a career out of seeming like he gave a shit about the news and what he was talking about. | ||
| So if he were to fucking... | ||
| I can't believe that you would seriously say out loud on your show, this is the most important work I've ever done, when you are not even close to thinking that it's even a little bit of work that you tried. | ||
| Or even something you're willing to take any direct ownership of. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Totally. | |
| It's not really even your project. | ||
| It's someone else's company. | ||
| Unreal. | ||
| That's for promotions. | ||
| Unreal! | ||
| Yeah, it's a little bit... | ||
| It illustrates disingenuousness on his part, but think about it. | ||
| We know people, comedians, who have done corporate gig kind of things where maybe they do a video for a corporate internal use. | ||
| Or I used to work at that movie theater in Columbia, and Roger Lodge, the host of the match game. | ||
| No, not the match game. | ||
| Some dating show that I used to watch. | ||
| Was it Shipmates? | ||
| No. | ||
| No, that was Chris Hardwick. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Shit. | ||
| You'll get that. | ||
| Eliminate. | ||
| No. | ||
| Love it. | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| Love Boat. | ||
| Roger Lodge hosted the training video for it. | ||
| That's very funny. | ||
| And so people do stuff like that. | ||
| These little corporate gigs. | ||
| So Roger Lodge was Troy McClure, essentially. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But people do that. | ||
| And what Alex has done is that. | ||
| This is a corporate gig for him. | ||
| He's the face of the Reset Wars material that is from Jake Doocy. | ||
| And it's just pathetic for Alex to be like, this is the most important work I've ever done. | ||
| Can you imagine Roger Lodge? | ||
| Well, I don't know what else he's done in his career, but him being like, I'm so proud of this Goodrich Theater's promotional video, the internal training. | ||
| It's the best work I've ever done. | ||
| It's pathetic. | ||
| So that makes me slightly less interested in rushing to cover it. | ||
| But we're still going to get to it eventually. | ||
| We'll get there eventually. | ||
| That's so sad. | ||
| It's so craven and awful for him. | ||
| And it's abusive to me. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Because I want to cover his most important work. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I don't want to cover him doing a gig. | ||
| Once again, you have had that football pulled out from beneath your feet. | ||
| And again, you go flying 360 degrees in the air. | ||
| I'm going to go fuck around and complain to Peppermint Patty. | ||
| I think it's a good idea. | ||
| Somebody has to. | ||
| So... | ||
| Look, Roger's got a plug, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
| Yes, of course. | ||
| Alex has some plugs. | ||
| Roger's got some plugs. | ||
| This plug is wild. | ||
| You can go to stonedefensefund.com stonedefensefund.com Unfortunately, I do still need the help of Patriots and the Infra Warrior. | ||
| Community. | ||
| Well, that's right, Roger. | ||
| I mean, I know you're down to one half-broken car, and I don't want to embarrass you, but that's what's going on. | ||
| Let's expand on this, because we're not bitching, folks. | ||
| You've got to keep the Warriors in the fight. | ||
| You forgot you have the Capitol Police suing you for running January 6th. | ||
| I mean, you had nothing to do with it. | ||
| I mean, that's just... | ||
| People, you're like, well, just don't... | ||
| Folks, they come at you with... | ||
| Georgetown University and the CIA are suing me, okay? | ||
| They admittedly run the law clinic, the Virginia lawsuit against us. | ||
| This is not a freaking game. | ||
| And we understand it's all rigged. | ||
| We've just got to fight through the whole process, or they'd shut us down right now. | ||
| They would send in... | ||
| The local constables and literally take the equipment and turn our lights off. | ||
| Okay, I have to fight right through the crooked thing, right through the rigged courts, right through, battle them for years in the courts, and all of this just to stay on the air. | ||
| We know it's all rigged, but while they're biting us and attacking us and clawing at us like gremlins, we just stay in the fight with our guns, blasting at the New World Order. | ||
| Sorry, Roger, I'm ranting. | ||
| That's perfectly right. | ||
| Sorry, Roger. | ||
| I interrupted the plug for your League of Defense Fund by complaining about my own righteous battle against all the fucking constables. | ||
| The CIA. | ||
| The CIA is suing him. | ||
| Oi, what's all this said? | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| So Roger does end up plugging some more, though. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alex does give him a little more time. | ||
| He's got a half-broken car? | ||
| I don't know what that means. | ||
| I think I read... | ||
| I think this is... | ||
| I think that he's talking about the fact that I think... | ||
| I read somewhere that Roger Stone can't afford to fix his car. | ||
| Is it a half a car that's broken, or is it a car that's halfway broken? | ||
| I think it's a car that's halfway broken. | ||
| It works sometimes. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| I mean, beyond Roger. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Every car that I've ever had has been half broken. | ||
| Right, but he can't afford to fix it is what they care about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I couldn't either. | |
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| That's fine, but that's what Alex is talking about with the half broken car. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I never felt... | ||
| I mean, let's go back to when I worked at that movie theater where Roger Lodge did the training video. | ||
| I never felt entitled that someone else should... | ||
| I don't know why Roger Stone, that's something that's relevant to his legal defense. | ||
| I think because he would like everyone else to pay for the rest of his life. | ||
| Yeah, I would think so. | ||
| The way he goes about it, too, Roger, trying to get everyone to pay for all his shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Little tacky. | ||
| Little tacky. | ||
| Let's hear it. | ||
| Quite tacky. | ||
| I just wanted to up front let listeners know that they don't normally hear me at the start of the interview call for support, but it's that damn serious. | ||
| We aren't going to back down. | ||
| We aren't going to give up, but we could give out, Roger. | ||
| So how do people support you again? | ||
| How do they get a Roger Stone did-nothing-wrong shirt? | ||
| How do they get your books? | ||
| How do they find Roger Stone paraphernalia, as the left calls it? | ||
| Again, you can go to StoneColdTruth.com, go to the shop. | ||
| StoneColdTruth.com, go to the shop. | ||
| You can get your iconic. | ||
| Roger Stone did nothing wrong t-shirt. | ||
| Iconic. | ||
| Or you can get a signed presidential pardon. | ||
| Or you can get one of my famous Roger Stone's paperweights. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry, what? | |
| Or, if you just want to help me in the legal battle and I need the help, you can go to stonedefensefund.com. | ||
| This shop is nuts. | ||
| I mean, the shirt, I understand. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Roger Stone's paperweight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| A little dumb. | ||
| No, that's great. | ||
| Roger Stones, come on. | ||
| You can't not. | ||
| It's a little uncle joke, kind of. | ||
| You know, it's a little bit on that scale of, come on, man. | ||
| Come on, buddy. | ||
| But selling signed pardons? | ||
| That is amazing. | ||
| That's brazen. | ||
| That is absolutely one of the more waggle your dick at the law. | ||
| I mean, goddamn. | ||
| Signed? | ||
| Copies of his presidential pardon. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Goddamn. | ||
| I'm going to have to look this up. | ||
| I didn't look in advance. | ||
| How much does it cost for a signed copy of the presidential pardon of Roger Stone for crimes that he 100% committed? | ||
| Well, okay, so for $10, you can get a small autographed stone. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| For 20 bucks, you can get an engraved, it appears, signature on a larger stump. | ||
| For... | ||
| Bring him the stone of success! | ||
| For $25, you can get a shirt that has a syringe with a line through it. | ||
| Great. | ||
| That says, what happened to my body, my choice, anti-vax shirt Roger Stone is selling. | ||
| Too long. | ||
| Roger Stone still did nothing wrong with a fedora over it. | ||
| That hat, $25 also. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| I would like that. | ||
| Roger Stone still did nothing wrong with a mug coming in at $15. | ||
| Whoa! | ||
| That's an expensive mug. | ||
| Probably too much. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You can get a picture of Roger Stone getting arrested. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| They have a Roger Stone arrest photo for sale. | ||
| 20 bucks. | ||
| 20 bucks. | ||
| This is why this motherfucker can get away with this shit is because that is such a great dickwag. | ||
| I can't. | ||
| I mean, it's unimpeachable. | ||
| So here's the description of the picture. | ||
| A riveting piece of history and a huge mistake for special counsel Robert Mueller. | ||
| The stunning pre-dawn raid of Roger Stone's home to arrest him for politically motivated, fabricated, first-time non-violent crime shocked the nation and mobilized the MAGA base in America to support Roger Stone and his epic struggle for justice. | ||
| CNN just happened to be there to live broadcast the entire circus. | ||
| So you can get a photo of that signed by Roger for 20 bucks. | ||
|

|
Wow. | |
| Wow. | ||
| Where would you hang that up, Dan? | ||
| In the fireplace. | ||
| No, I don't know. | ||
| I mean, like, the picture is nuts, too, because, like, you know, he's talking about, like, how, oh, they came and they raided me. | ||
| He's wearing a shirt that says Roger Stone did nothing wrong. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Like, he knew this was happening. | ||
| He's a fucking dick. | ||
| Goddamn, what an asshole. | ||
| So we got the personally hand-signed presidential pardon. | ||
| Right. | ||
| How much do you think it costs? | ||
| I'm going to have to go. | ||
| He's going for broke on that one. | ||
| I bet he's charging $100. | ||
| So, on December 23rd, 2020, President Donald J. Trump granted an unconditional presidential pardon, an act of both mercy and justice, capital J, justice, capital J, as the president determined that Stone had been framed by Robert Mueller's now discredited political witch hunt and had been railroaded in a corruption trial in Washington, D.C. Yeah. | ||
| $20. | ||
| $20? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Oh, man, he's really blowing that one. | ||
| I feel like you need to charge a shit ton for that. | ||
| That's prestige pricing, you know? | ||
| You've got your Goldilocks items. | ||
| You've got your shirt for $20. | ||
| You've got your expensive items. | ||
| You've got your mug for $15. | ||
| And then you've got to go for broke with something. | ||
| Well, I'm going to tell you this right now. | ||
| The supply is unlimited. | ||
| Yeah, I would believe so. | ||
| And demand is low. | ||
| So I don't think he could get away with it. | ||
| No one wants it. | ||
| It's not about getting away. | ||
| It's not about selling them. | ||
| It's about the flagship product, Dan. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He is about selling it because he wants money. | |
| Clearly. | ||
| He has a half-broken car. | ||
| Whatever that means. | ||
| What kind of conversation do you... | ||
| If you buy one of those, you expect somebody to be like, hey, what's that? | ||
| And then you say... | ||
| That's my signed copy of Roger Stone's presidential pardon. | ||
| It would be so funny if you go into your doctor's office and they have their diploma in the Roger Stone's side pardon just as a prank. | ||
| Oh my god, that would be very funny. | ||
| That would be very funny. | ||
| That would either be the best doctor ever or you'd have to run. | ||
| Or the nightmare. | ||
| Yeah, the worst, yeah. | ||
| So anyway, Roger Stone's pardon. | ||
| I would have loved to be there for the conversation of deciding to do that. | ||
| Yeah, no, that's just amazing. | ||
| That's the kind of thing that you come up with when you're sitting around high with your buddies. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| That kind of an idea. | ||
| No, that's the idea. | ||
| So, Roger Stone's, same session. | ||
| Love it. | ||
| Five seconds. | ||
| Five, ten seconds, they're like, Roger Stone, Roger Stone's, great. | ||
| Next 45 minutes is fucking terrible ideas. | ||
| What about Stone's Rogers? | ||
| No, that's stupid! | ||
| And then finally we get to, oh my god, I've got... | ||
| The perfect idea. | ||
| Yeah, and see, I think a normal person would respond to someone suggesting they should sell autographed pardons. | ||
| They'd be like, I don't know. | ||
| I think that would look bad. | ||
| Have you ever heard of hubris? | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Let's do this, man. | ||
| This is you to a T. This is a bespoke product that only Roger Stone could sell. | ||
| That I'm certain is not flying off the shelves. | ||
| No. | ||
| So Alex gets to talking to Roger about the situation in Russia, and this is really, really strange. | ||
| And he's got a lot to say. | ||
| From his research and his contacts and his working for multiple administrations about what he really thinks is happening with this Russia crisis. | ||
| We saw Bloomberg on Friday announce that Russia had attacked and later say, sorry, fake headline. | ||
| We've seen the State Department and CIA say, just trust us. | ||
| We know they're going to attack themselves. | ||
| And we say, give us proof. | ||
| And they said, that is the proof. | ||
| We've already gone over the Bloomberg story, but I really think that the way Alex is talking about the claims that Biden officials made that Russia was going to carry out a false flag, the way he's talking about it is very strange. | ||
| I'm not going to defend the administration's claims or necessarily how they're presenting them, but the last person who should be attacking this is Alex. | ||
| If his complaint is that someone is coming out and predicting a false flag and then the only proof they can provide to back up their claim is trust me, Then this is a situation where Alex is indicting himself far more than anybody in the Biden administration. | ||
| Alex's career is one long string of him predicting false flags that never happened based on either no evidence or something like his intuition or maybe a dream he had or some headline he misread. | ||
| If I were Alex, I wouldn't take this approach to attacking the Biden official because it has the potential to make any engaged listeners question what evidence Alex ever has to offer with his rampant predictions of false flags. | ||
| Anyone who seriously questioned that and had listened to enough of his show would reach the inevitable conclusion that Alex is just regularly making up intense predictions of imminent false flags. | ||
| Then when they don't come to pass, he moves on and acts like he never did it. | ||
| That's just I think it's dumb to accuse people of baselessly predicting false flags when that's your business now. | ||
| Yeah, I was kind of expecting, because I heard Biden and all of them say that, and I was like... | ||
| Oh, well, great. | ||
| We're having a great time. | ||
| And I assumed Alex was going to be like, aha, see, this is the false flag. | ||
| They're going to do it and then release the video. | ||
| So they're just getting you ready for the false flag they're going to commit. | ||
| And then they're claiming that the Russians committed that false flag when in fact it was the United States who committed it. | ||
| That makes the most sense to me for an Alex thing to say. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Not for him to be like... | ||
| Declaring a false flag is a bad idea. | ||
| Like, what are you fucking talking about? | ||
| Well, and being like, if you predict a false flag, you must show concrete evidence. | ||
| That's a standard that he can't live up to. | ||
| No, that's infuriating. | ||
| Yeah, it's a strange take, but I guess what are you gonna do? | ||
| His audience doesn't demand much. | ||
| No, that's true. | ||
| There is not a lot of demand. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Roger has some interesting ideas about what Putin wants vis-a-vis Ukraine, and he thinks that it's exactly like the Cuban Missile Crisis. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| They would like us to believe that Putin wants to take over all of Ukraine. | ||
| And install a puppet government so that he can restore the faded glory of the great Soviet Union. | ||
| First of all, he can't even economically afford that. | ||
| Secondarily, let us listen to what he is saying over and over and over again. | ||
| When he says he doesn't want Ukraine to join NATO, what he is saying is he doesn't want Western missiles on his border. | ||
| John F. Kennedy said in 1962 when he said he did not want Russian missiles 90 miles off the shore of the United States. | ||
| This is all about that. | ||
| And he said it over and over again. | ||
| But that gets extrapolated to he wants to take over Ukraine. | ||
| I don't believe so. | ||
| If Ukraine would merely agree, essentially, not to put missiles on the border of Russia. | ||
| This entire thing could be averted. | ||
| I think that a thought experiment here might be useful, and that is, can you imagine a situation where Ukraine agreed no missiles on the border, but we're joining NATO? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There'd still be a problem. | ||
| It would be a huge problem. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So, Roger, like, interpreting the only problem being missiles with the joining of NATO, that's just not the case. | ||
| No, the problem is the missiles within the mind of someone in NATO. | ||
| There's a possibility that Putin doesn't want to take over Ukraine in the sense of actually occupying the country, but just like in the case of Georgia in 2008, this is a situation where he can effectively use military action or the threat thereof to serve as a veto to a state wanting to join NATO. | ||
| A part of it may be missile related, but it's also an attempt to keep states in the neighboring region within Russia's sphere of influence and not allowing them to make other strategic partnerships. | ||
| Roger's kind of sugarcoating this to make Russia the unimpeachable good party in this, which is Alex's agenda as well. | ||
| And again, I don't think this is an indication of any kind of fealty to Russia the way that some people might suspect. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But I think it's just rooted in this hatred of the international order. | ||
| Like, if Trump were in office, they'd probably be insisting that he needs to send troops to help Russia fight off NATO. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| It probably would be... | ||
| Almost certainly. | ||
| Right, but it would be motivated from the same place of opposition to... | ||
| World bodies of cooperation, things that are seen as globalism, as opposed to necessarily supportive Russia. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, if I were pardoned, specifically, for courting Russian influence in our elections, I think I would go... | ||
| So hard the other direction when I got out the other side of the pardon, I'd be like, Russia's bad! | ||
| You'd be a classic anti-communist. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, I would be like, I gotta really ham this one up if I'm gonna continue to say that I still didn't do it. | ||
| Now, here's what would be great, is if Roger believed that his pardon meant that he could never be tried again. | ||
| Exactly, yes! | ||
| He's like, frankly, I think Putin should take over the United States and should influence our elections. | ||
| Ah, double jeopardy. | ||
| Ah, you can't catch me! | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I just think it's a little bit weird. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, Alex gets into a very weird, consistent theme of his here. | ||
| You know, we get new crew in here sometimes over the years. | ||
| We got the best crew ever. | ||
| And people will ask me, they're like, hey, you came in, you were dragging, and then you went in your office for an hour and you came out. | ||
| Are you using drugs? | ||
| How the hell do you get so excited once you're on air, but you're not when you come in here? | ||
| Then they get to know me and learn. | ||
| No, I'm excited because the world's exciting and exciting things are going on and they're trying to start nuclear war with Russia and we could all die. | ||
| Oh, that's exciting. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| He seems to have consistently people around him asking if he's on coke. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And that's a little suspicious. | ||
| Here's a common thing that happens. | ||
| You, low energy, go into a room by yourself, come out high energy. | ||
| If it happened once, eh. | ||
| This is a regular occurrence. | ||
| I'm just excited that we might die. | ||
| It seems like you might be excited in private without anybody seeing what gets you so excited. | ||
| And whether or not this actually is happening to him on a regular basis, he does seem to feel the need to bring it up on air a lot. | ||
| And one of the things that I found particularly strange about this is that... | ||
| He's not even, like, crazy high energy on this episode. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| This isn't one where he would need to sort of give that caveat. | ||
| I mean, unless he walked in, like, literally asleep. | ||
| Just practically sleepwalking, and they're like, there's no way Alex is gonna be able to handle this one. | ||
| Or if he did a bunch of blow, and he just wasn't super high energy, but he felt like maybe he was. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| And so he's projecting. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's very strange, and I would be... | ||
| I would be curious why he seems to need to bring this up over and over again. | ||
| So, I'm glad you wrote down that diagram earlier about the world powers. | ||
| Is it going to come back? | ||
| It's coming back. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So, pay attention. | ||
| Are we going to have more? | ||
| Alex relists the world powers. | ||
| I was going to say, I feel like we're going to have a... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Thank God. | ||
| I'm seeing it everywhere now. | ||
| Being discussed by top scientists and lawyers and major leaders and Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan and all these other people now talking about the Great Reset. | ||
| It's the corporate cabals. | ||
| It's the other power structure. | ||
| There's China. | ||
| There's Russia. | ||
| There's the United States. | ||
| There's the European Union. | ||
| There's the Islamicists. | ||
| But what's bigger than all that together? | ||
| The big corporations manipulating it all above the law. | ||
| We never think about being conquered by them. | ||
| That's what the Great Reset is. | ||
| Go to resetwars.com today. | ||
| Really going back to trying to sell that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's not been quite as heavily promoted. | ||
| No. | ||
| That's interesting. | ||
| Now overhead's becoming an issue. | ||
| It may be. | ||
| And he can't get anything in stock for 25 weeks. | ||
| Apparently. | ||
| So yeah, we've added the Islamicists now to the list of powers, which is strange that he forgot it when he was in the middle of his lecture. | ||
| It seems like they are the ones that he hates the most. | ||
| It seems like he's just making shit up. | ||
| Kind of adding whatever feels right in the moment. | ||
| This is like the Bill Gates is in the Council of Twelve or possibly middle management thing. | ||
| Yeah, who knows? | ||
| Yeah, this is bullshit. | ||
| Also, I would say, if these big corporations are the problem, maybe we should do something about corporations. | ||
| Shouldn't this be part of Alex's politics? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Hold on, hold on, hold on. | ||
| They should be allowed to do this. | ||
| But they should not want to. | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| That's what it's about! | ||
| It's about freedom of choice, Dan! | ||
| The freedom to kill people only means that if you don't, you're a better person. | ||
| I think that if out-of-control rampaging corporations are really one of the largest issues that we face, and even if Alex recognizes that... | ||
| Right. | ||
| It seems like some kind of state power is basically necessary in order to reel in those corporations. | ||
| Because I don't see what other alternative there is in terms of a communal solution to it. | ||
| I mean, obviously the alternative is to keep people from shoplifting to make sure that the corporations have more money. | ||
| I don't feel like that gets us where we need to go. | ||
| Ah, but that's because you're not going to get there. | ||
| You're going to be crushed under the boot. | ||
| I'm not saying that shoplifting is the answer, but stopping it certainly isn't. | ||
| Well, that's not a problem. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah, see? | ||
| Well, I'm convinced. | ||
| So, Roger gets to plug in again. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| He needs money. | ||
| He really needs to fix that car, man. | ||
| Boy, he needs money. | ||
| We don't have George Soros paying our bills. | ||
| Show. | ||
| Again, the best websites, Roger Stone, for folks to be able to support you if they want to keep us in the fight. | ||
| Stonedefensefund.com. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| Stonedefensefund.com. | ||
| I've still got to fight six completely baseless harassment lawsuits being financed by George Soros or in one case by the Biden Justice Department. | ||
| These are civil suits. | ||
| Business Insider said last week it was a criminal suit. | ||
| No, these are civil suits. | ||
| They're baseless. | ||
| But if you don't go fight them, they get a judgment against you. | ||
| Already lost enough. | ||
| Alex, I've got to be honest with you. | ||
| I'm just happy to be back on my feet. | ||
| Because I got bowled over by the Chinese virus. | ||
| And it was ten times worse than I thought it would be. | ||
| And yes, I did ultimately make a comeback thanks to ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. | ||
| But in the meantime, I started doing my own research. | ||
| And your iodine product, X2 and X3, absolutely crucial in terms of rebuilding your immunity. | ||
| Now, just in case anybody's wondering, no, I'm not paid a penny to say this. | ||
| Not a penny. | ||
| Well, I'm sold. | ||
| Yeah, I believe it. | ||
| I'm sold on this being genuine. | ||
| Well, listen, I would never believe that... | ||
| Roger Stone was lying to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Never. | |
| Especially if he says, I'm telling you the truth. | ||
| The beacon of truth. | ||
| Also, I think that he might be getting paid to say it specifically because he was in the middle of a plug, and then his brain connected it to plugging the iodine. | ||
| Could be. | ||
| Seems like maybe those are in similar compartments in his brain. | ||
| Yeah, it seems like he's supposed to be there to get everybody money. | ||
| Yeah, he can't even... | ||
| Do a plug without going into another plug. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| This is ridiculous. | ||
| His plug for his legal defense got interrupted with a story about how sick he was so he could plug iodine. | ||
| I'm going to be racist. | ||
| I'm going to continue to plug iverbectin and hydrochloroquine for no fucking reason. | ||
| Hydrochloroquine. | ||
| Apologies. | ||
| And then I'm going to plug one of Alex's products that I definitely am not required to do as part of this appearance. | ||
| So, Alex, they're talking a bit about January 6th and how they were all cool. | ||
| Oh, yeah, and peaceful. | ||
| But Alex is a bit defensive about it because people want him to shut up about January 6th. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe smart. | |
| Jan 6th, you heard my question before the break. | ||
| The Democrats are just all in betting everything on this, but the polls, the research, the numbers show their constituents are sick of it. | ||
| Republicans don't want to hear about it. | ||
| This is just crazy. | ||
| No, there's no there there. | ||
| There's no there there. | ||
| They're just tired of hearing about this. | ||
| Hey, Alex, Benghazi. | ||
| Man. | ||
| He keeps things alive quite a while. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| It is crazy. | ||
| It is so crazy. | ||
| They could have killed a congressperson. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, they just could have killed one. | ||
| More than one. | ||
| On national TV. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Live-streamed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I can't help but think... | |
| A year later, we would still be in the same place where they're like, that's legitimate political murder, though. | ||
| That's totally fine. | ||
| They're just good, honest, God-fearing folk. | ||
| I honestly don't think so. | ||
| Like, it's crazy. | ||
| I think that the line would have been crossed in a much more serious way if a member of Congress had been murdered. | ||
| I understand you're shaking your head, and you don't agree. | ||
| That's a level of disillusionment and jadedness that I'm not quite at. | ||
| Then I pray for you, sir. | ||
| I don't have faith that whatever response would have happened to that hypothetical situation you're talking about, I don't have faith that it would have been necessarily super effective, or maybe the right response, but I think a more serious response would have been taken. | ||
| Yeah, we'll see. | ||
| No, we won't. | ||
| Well, the next time they do it, we will. | ||
| Well, maybe. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And especially because they have people like Roger running cover for it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, that's kind of part of the problem here. | ||
| Right. | ||
| As you see in this next fucking clip. | ||
| And now there's a new smear against that great American patriot, General Michael Flynn. | ||
| It is alleged that there was a draft of a memo that talked about seizing the machines. | ||
| A draft. | ||
| A draft that was never acted on. | ||
| In fact, as I understand it, General Flynn's reaction to the memo was, somebody needs to run this by the lawyers and see if it's even legal. | ||
| I mean, if I thought about murdering someone, but then I don't murder them, can I be prosecuted for murder? | ||
| Of course not. | ||
| Now you're being prosecuted for thought crimes. | ||
| Let's be clear. | ||
| General Flynn did not recommend martial law. | ||
| General Flynn did not recommend the Insurrection Act. | ||
| General Flynn did not recommend the seizing. | ||
| I think he's... | ||
| Recommended those things on Alex's show. | ||
| Literally all of them. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Directly. | ||
| So we don't even need to talk about any drafted executive orders to condemn Flynn here. | ||
| Like, in December 2020, he spoke to Newsmax and he said, quote, he is Trump here. | ||
| He could immediately, on his order, seize every single one of these machines around the country on his order. | ||
| He could also order within the swing states if he wanted to. | ||
| He could take military capabilities and he could place them in those states and basically rerun an election in each of those states. | ||
| It's not unprecedented. | ||
| These people out here are talking about martial law. | ||
| like it's something we've never done. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what he was saying right after the election. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Flynn's been really clear about how he wanted Trump to respond. | |
| Roger is just lying about this now because it looks really fucking bad that he wasn't just talking shit. | ||
| It turns out he was also coordinating with Trump about the possibilities of doing these things. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| So if you think about committing a murder and then you don't commit a murder, not a crime. | ||
| No. | ||
| But if you get 75% of the way to committing a murder, that's called attempted murder. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And if you, I don't know, are concerned. | ||
| Inspiring with people to commit a murder, and you take a bunch of steps towards committing that murder, but you never actually follow through. | ||
| You never get quite there. | ||
| There's still a charge you can catch for that. | ||
| Yeah, especially if your murder plans indirectly led to the murder of somebody else. | ||
| Like, if you hire somebody to kill somebody for you, and they don't do it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You're still in trouble. | ||
| You still did this. | ||
| You're still in trouble. | ||
| You did the bad thing. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| So, anyway, we got one last clip here, and it's Alex, again, just rattling off a bunch of things that aren't true. | ||
| I would say that almost everything in this clip is not true. | ||
| Let's get it. | ||
| We have to remember, Pelosi was saying Trump will be removed by maybe even the Insurrection Act. | ||
| She said we'll have martial law. | ||
| Even if he wins the election, we're not going to accept it. | ||
| We're going to hold our own inauguration. | ||
| They said that we'd have a civil war in the New York Times. | ||
| So they raised the temperature, burned down billions of dollars of buildings, attacked police. | ||
| The vice president, who later became vice president, was bailing murderers and criminals out of jail. | ||
| And then... | ||
| Sure, that's why. | ||
| A million people, a couple hundred fight the police, a few thousand get waved into the building, and they arrest those that peacefully went in. | ||
| This is outrageous. | ||
| This is a fraud. | ||
| And bare minimum, the federal government stood down and refused Trump's request for National Guard a month before. | ||
| And so it's on them because they created the conditions to allow this to happen. | ||
| Roger Stone. | ||
| Absolutely true. | ||
| So, here are the things that you need to correct. | ||
| Yeah, go ahead down the list there. | ||
| Pelosi didn't say that if Trump won, they wouldn't accept it and they'd just hold their own inauguration. | ||
| Alex is making things up based on a war game meeting that people had to discuss the possible responses that could be taken if Trump lost and refused to leave office. | ||
| Two, the burning of these buildings and such, the protests, that has nothing to do with what Alex is talking about. | ||
| He's just connecting on related things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Three, Kamala Harris didn't bail out murderers or anything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| She retweeted a link to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which was helping to bail out people who were arrested in the George Floyd protests. | ||
| This has been spun wildly by people like Alex into reaching the form you hear here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Four, Alex's January 6th narrative seems to be ignoring that he's now realized that Stuart Rhodes and the Oath Keepers totally planned to do what they did. | ||
| What you hear there is Alex going back to the old narrative he used to say, even though his show's talking points have been updated. | ||
| In fact, he's not even in sync with his own lies. | ||
| Five, the federal government didn't refuse Trump's request to send it to the National Guard. | ||
| So there's at least five really discreet problems with that. | ||
| It's only 50 seconds long. | ||
| It's complete bullshit. | ||
| Here's what I'm saying. | ||
| Okay, we don't need to fuck with the First Amendment at all. | ||
| All right? | ||
| We don't need to limit people's speech. | ||
| What we need to do is just get a litmus test like this clip right here. | ||
| If you have enough lies in a short enough period of time, you're off the air. | ||
| Well, it's like some comics will do the laughs per minute. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| See, that's what I'm saying! | ||
| We need to measure lies per minute. | ||
| We need sabermetrics for bullshitters. | ||
|

|
Totally! | |
| What's your lies above replacement host? | ||
| Alex is high. | ||
| Alex is high on that. | ||
| I think it would be tough to find somebody who would be able to replace him. | ||
| Yeah, that would be tough. | ||
| He's the... | ||
| I can't think of the best baseball player in the world. | ||
| Well, I mean, the best baseball player in the world is Shohei Otani, yes. | ||
| I was going to say Mike Trout. | ||
| The second best is Mike Trout. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| He was the best up until Shohei Otani took over. | ||
| Hey, how about that? | ||
| Probably the best in history was Barry Bonds. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, wait, wait, wait. | |
| Give Shohei Otani another ten years and he might be there. | ||
| That's how good he is. | ||
| What about Ken Griffey Jr.? | ||
| Ken Griffey Jr. is great. | ||
| One of the top 20. Poo holes. | ||
| Poo holes, top 20. Okay. | ||
| Maybe even, I would say, I would put Ken Griffey at... | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Pujol's probably around 17. What about David Eckstein? | |
| David Eckstein, way low on the list, my friend! | ||
| So Taguchi. | ||
| He's down there. | ||
| Scott Spezio. | ||
| Scott Spezio, number six! | ||
| Mark Supon. | ||
| I'm just naming the Cardinals that were part of the World Series winning team. | ||
| Those are the only ones you remember. | ||
| My buddy is all of the Cardinals, so we watched the shit out of that series. | ||
| I gotcha. | ||
| Yeah, this episode, in terms of meaningfulness over replacement, not great. | ||
| Right. | ||
| No, no, no, very bad. | ||
| There's not really a ton going on here, because I think that in some ways Alex is in the middle of a holding pattern. | ||
| He's made this prediction of the giant cyber attack that he's preemptively made that narrative in case something happens. | ||
| didn't seem to do it for him. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So maybe this is going to be pushed down the road, kick the can down until maybe there is some kind of a cyber attack. | |
| And the rest of this is just... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Weird bullshit about history. | ||
| And Roger needs money. | ||
| Roger really needs money. | ||
| I mean, I will say I take some schadenfreude in that. | ||
| I would like to see Roger Stone penniless and walking everywhere for the rest of his life. | ||
| I think that'd be... | ||
| Quite enjoyable. | ||
| Well, I mean, he could be a panhandler, certainly. | ||
| He could be out there asking for money, but... | ||
| I think he should have to be. | ||
| But... | ||
| What? | ||
| He would make you... | ||
| His hat would be a top hat. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| That is true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It'd be fun. | |
| He'd be a fun panhandler. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't take joy in his impoverishment or anything. | ||
| I do think it's funny, though, the way that they're doing this... | ||
| Promotional infomercial, basically. | ||
| It's just excessive and silly. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Gotta get run of Roger Stone's. | ||
| No. | ||
| Gotta get it engraved, too. | ||
| One of those paperweights. | ||
| Just put it on your stackies. | ||
| Oh, you gotta get it on the stackies. | ||
| I'm gonna say this right now. | ||
| What? | ||
| I'm worried that someone is going to, as a joke, buy... | ||
| No, do not... | ||
| Give Roger Stone a fuck. | ||
| I told you I want to see him penniless walking everywhere for the rest of his life. | ||
| Don't, as a joke, buy his signed pardon. | ||
| Just take joy in knowing that it exists and someone probably has got one. | ||
| And if you beat them, maybe take it from them. | ||
| And run away. | ||
| So, Jordan, we'll be back on another episode, hopefully with a little bit more impact than this. | ||
| Let's hope. | ||
| But until then, we have a website. | ||
| We do. | ||
| It's knowledgefight.com. | ||
| We're also on Twitter. | ||
| We are on Twitter. | ||
| It's at... | ||
| Knowledge underscore fight, and I go to bed, Jordan. | ||
| Yeah, we'll be back. | ||
| But until then, I'm Neo, I'm Leo, I'm DZX Clark, I'm Daryl Rundis. | ||
| And now here comes the sex robots. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||
