jordan holmes
I love your room.
Knowledge Fight.
unidentified
Knowledge Fight.
alex jones
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple dudes like to sit around, worship at the altar of Celine, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Oh, indeed we are, Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
Quick question for you, buddy.
dan friesen
What's up?
jordan holmes
What's your bright spot?
dan friesen
My bright spot today, Jordan, is the 2009 Nicolas Cage film Knowing.
Had an opportunity to check back in on that film.
Holds the fuck up.
jordan holmes
It really does.
dan friesen
That movie is good.
jordan holmes
It is actually good.
I've seen it made fun of too many times.
dan friesen
It is restrained Cage.
But with a good freak out towards the end.
Yep.
It's, you know, it's an accessible Nicolas Cage.
It's not like, you know, you get some sort of just run-of-the-mill, average, everyday person, and you try to show them, like, Bad Lieutenant, Port of Call, New Orleans.
jordan holmes
Oh, they're not ready for it.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
They haven't even seen the original Bad Lieutenant.
dan friesen
Some other Cage performances, probably too much for the normies, let's say.
But like National Treasure, you can get them in on that.
Knowing is in that milieu.
If you need something exciting.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Anyway, this movie came out 13 years ago.
jordan holmes
A man googled 9 slash 11 slash 2001.
dan friesen
You're continuing your track record of spoiling things in the Bright Spot.
So what's yours?
jordan holmes
Sorry.
My Bright Spot is yesterday, a nice table of women at this restaurant.
Bought me and my partner a bottle of wine.
dan friesen
What?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You could tell that you guys were luscious.
jordan holmes
It was.
dan friesen
Or winos.
jordan holmes
No, here's the worst part, right?
I was dressed like this, basically.
I had a nicer sweater on, no hood.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
I had purchased it at a second-hand store.
dan friesen
Turtleneck?
jordan holmes
Earlier yesterday morning.
Right?
She was wearing jeans, nice shirt.
We were both walking.
She had flowers, right?
And they immediately came over and they were like, oh my god, did you guys just get married?
And the problem was, we had.
dan friesen
Oh.
jordan holmes
And that's offensive to me, because those people correctly sussed out, that's as good as this dirt bag is going to look.
unidentified
Wow.
jordan holmes
Like, that's as good as it gets for me.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And I would like to remind the listeners that before I went to Austin in December, we went to the men's warehouse.
jordan holmes
Yes, we did.
Well, I tried to buy a suit, and it did not happen.
dan friesen
Well, you could have.
You got a hug out of it.
So you're burying the lead there, Jordan.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We went to the...
Courthouse yesterday at 2 p.m.
It took us about five minutes to get the marriage license.
dan friesen
That's quick.
jordan holmes
Devin, my partner's mom, she married us as a humanist celebrant.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
Took about 15 minutes.
We were in, out.
We went and had dinner.
unidentified
It was great.
jordan holmes
It was a good day.
dan friesen
Congratulations to you both.
jordan holmes
Oh, it was great.
dan friesen
But really, I want to talk more about knowing.
No, but for real, congratulations.
I'm sure everyone out there is very happy and excited for you, too.
jordan holmes
It was nice.
It was the best way to do a wedding ever.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, pretty low-key in terms of the ceremony and such.
jordan holmes
Very.
dan friesen
Pretty low-key in terms of you announcing it to thousands of people.
Basically.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's generally how I do it.
There was a witness, okay?
dan friesen
Like, to a crime.
Yes, exactly.
There was a single witness.
jordan holmes
And we'll be shocked if she's alive in two years.
dan friesen
There wasn't an official witness.
It was just someone who happened to be there.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
Someone saw it go down.
jordan holmes
We had our wedding witnessed by an innocent bystander.
That was how it goes.
dan friesen
Well, and that kind of brings us to another point, and that is that you all are going to take a little bit of a trip.
You guys are honeymoon-ish?
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
So you'll be...
There is a vacation coming up.
jordan holmes
Yeah, somewhere in the middle of April, something like that.
dan friesen
Yeah, so if there's some shady release schedule going on during that time, prepare yourselves, listeners.
So, Jordan, today, not to take away, not to pivot away from this.
jordan holmes
Oh, please, let's pivot away.
I got married in a courthouse.
That needs to stay private.
dan friesen
Fine.
So, today we've got an episode to go over.
We're going to be talking about the 22nd of March within the year of our Lord, 2022.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
This is chaos.
This episode is going to be a mess.
There is a lot of nonsense.
And the actual episode itself is...
unidentified
Perfunctory?
jordan holmes
Bizarre?
dan friesen
Not really.
No.
Us going over it, there's some interesting things to discuss, but it's far overshadowed by the circumstances surrounding this episode.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah.
dan friesen
And the larger picture of all that.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
So we'll get into this, but before we do, let's take a little moment to say hello to some new wonks.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's a great idea.
dan friesen
So first, Jordan's laugh gets me through the day.
Mic up.
Thank you so much.
You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much.
unidentified
Thank you.
dan friesen
Next, to Vico from NoCo.
Thank you so much.
You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much!
dan friesen
Thank you.
Next, sorry pumpkin, but I'm glad we bonded over this.
Thank you so much.
You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much!
dan friesen
Romantic theme emerging.
jordan holmes
If you have your nickname for your partner as pumpkin, does not matter, you claim that one was on you.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
That's yours, yeah.
dan friesen
Next, the green M&M did January 6th.
Thank you so much.
You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much.
That one's new.
dan friesen
Next, Lynn Zillard.
Thank you so much.
You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much!
dan friesen
And not your Amazon Alexa.
Thank you so much.
You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much!
dan friesen
Thank you!
So, I believe that everybody has a vague understanding of the things that have been going on in Alex's immediate past.
And I feel like we will dig into this hole a bit, but here is an out-of-context drop from today's show.
alex jones
I will not eat your bugs.
dan friesen
Fine.
jordan holmes
Fine.
dan friesen
Leave my bugs alone.
jordan holmes
My bugs specifically?
unidentified
Yes.
jordan holmes
Is this a property issue or a bug issue?
dan friesen
He just does not approve of your bugs.
jordan holmes
Now it makes more sense.
dan friesen
So I was going to put out an episode on Wednesday this week, Jordan.
You know this because you were involved.
But truth be told, things got a bit overwhelming and I wanted to see how things ended up playing out.
Monday was an insane day for things that are related to our show.
First, Joe Biden used the words New World Order, and in the process, he gave conspiracy theorists decades worth of justification to believe that their particular flavor of shadow elite cabal runs the world behind the scenes.
jordan holmes
And a big old boner.
dan friesen
It was a dumb move, but the words do convey what Biden was trying to say.
It's not like...
jordan holmes
It is a New World Order.
It's an order that is not the same as the old, and we are on the world.
dan friesen
Right.
We've discussed that a bit in the past, and we'll do it more today.
As soon as I heard that Biden had said that, I was not pumped to tune in.
for Alex's response because I feel like it's super predictable and I don't really have that much more to say than we have in response.
Leaders sometimes talk about the international order of the world, the set of relationships, alliances, trade agreements, and enemies internationally.
Sometimes when major changes to the status quo of these relationships happen, one might say that the world order has become something new.
It's an expression that makes total sense and there shouldn't be anything wrong with using them to describe exactly the situation in the world today.
The folks like Alex will hear them and prove that the devil is puppeteering Biden into taunting the world so we don't fight back when he tries to eat our children's blood or something like that.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Then, Monday evening, everything got thrown into chaos.
Will Summer reported that Alex's lawyers had requested his deposition in the Connecticut Sandy Hook case be postponed because of an emergency medical situation.
Apparently, that afternoon at 3.30pm, Norm Pattis had received a call that Alex was, quote, under the care of a physician for medical conditions that require immediate and possibly emergency testing.
jordan holmes
Well, you gotta trust Norm.
dan friesen
True.
unidentified
I've never heard Norm lie.
dan friesen
Right.
The entire thing was super fishy.
Alex had done his show that day and was on air until like 2pm and there was no sign of any particular problem.
In addition, Norm's filing claimed, quote, my client has not authorized me to disclose the nature of the medical conditions or the identity of the physician, which is sketchy.
This was all in service of trying to delay a deposition that was scheduled for this Thursday.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
The supposed doctor had advised Alex shouldn't sit for the deposition given his medical condition, which again seems shady.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
There was a schedule at, pardon me, I sort of oversimplified.
There was Wednesday and Thursday there were depositions scheduled for him.
And then Friday, Rob Dew.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
What fun.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he had a case of I don't want to do it-itis.
dan friesen
Right.
I didn't want to rush into anything, and turning around to get an episode out that discussed this on Wednesday would have been a challenge.
But at this point, a few more data points have come out.
The first is that Alex was in studio doing his show on Tuesday.
He wasn't broadcasting from home.
He didn't have Owen or Harrison cover the show so he could keep up the ruse that he was trying to pull with the court.
It was just business as usual.
And I suspect that the reason for that is that Biden said New World Order, and Alex couldn't let Harrison or Owen swing at that meatball.
That was right over the plate.
jordan holmes
Oh, they would whiff so hard, it would make everyone cry.
Like, Alex would have to break into the studio, like in a movie, like Mike Myers screaming.
dan friesen
You see a puff of smoke behind him.
He's gone.
So this leaves an important question that's still hanging, and that is what's going on with that motion that Norm filed in the first place?
The most obvious answer is that it could be purely an attempt to fuck with the plaintiff's case and stall the process, as has been Alex's legal strategy up till this point.
At every turn, he's pulled out any trick he can think of to slow things down and try and create legal headaches for the opposing counsel.
This would be totally within his character, and I wouldn't put it past him at all.
There's nothing he really stands to lose from sitting for the deposition.
He can just stonewall like he always does, but he does have something to gain in theory from trying to drag his feet and try to force the court to reschedule his trial date, which would be much more fun for him.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
It wouldn't surprise me if that was part of what he was up to.
jordan holmes
Just a fun lark.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Why not give it a shot?
dan friesen
A second option occurred to me, and that is that Alex could have COVID again.
When he got back from California, Alex was complaining about feeling sick, and we know that he's very reckless and unvaccinated, and he's a guy who consistently hangs out with other unvaccinated people and takes no precautions about getting sick.
He's in a high-risk category, and he just took a trip to another state, so the opportunities for him to be exposed to something seem pretty decent, at least.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
He doesn't give a shit about his staff, and he's admitted he already...
Did that the last times he had COVID.
He went to the work and exposed everyone to it.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I heard that on Twitter.
The first thing I texted you was like, well, of course he's still in the studio if he has COVID.
dan friesen
And it would make sense why he wouldn't go to court or wouldn't want to go to court because they take...
Yeah, they would not like that.
One of the primary reasons I didn't want to jump a gun on this is that I wanted to be able to have some kind of information and not just come to this show with assumptions and what-ifs.
Thankfully, on Wednesday, a sworn affidavit was filed, and we learned a little bit more about this medical emergency.
As it turns out, on Monday, Alex had the complete lunatic and guy who fantasizes about murders, Dr. Marbles, on his show.
to do some fun COVID denialism content.
jordan holmes
Good stuff.
dan friesen
When Marbles showed up at the studio to do the interview, his, quote, personal observations of Mr. Jones so alarmed him that he insisted on conducting a physical examination of Mr. Jones.
He immediately advised Mr. Jones to go to an emergency room or call 911.
After Mr. Jones refused, the physician advised him to stay home, which Mr. Jones did not do.
jordan holmes
Ah, okay.
So if I understand this correctly, Dr. Marbles walked into InfoWars and said, You look like shit.
You gotta go to the doctor right now.
dan friesen
Call 911.
jordan holmes
And Alex, appropriately understanding that Dr. Marbles is a moron, went, No.
unidentified
Screw you.
dan friesen
I would assume.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Dr. Marbles.
It was enough to advise Alex to call 911, so that does seem serious, although again, Dr. Marvel's.
It's advice coming from a lunatic.
Alex didn't take this advice, although he did pass it along to Norm Pattis to use as an excuse to not go to his scheduled deposition, which again, probably would have come off a little more convincing if Alex hadn't done his show the next day.
That really punctures any illusion that whatever he's dealing with would preclude him from Oh my god, that's great.
Having snubbed Dr. Marbles' advice and not called 911, Alex did his show the next day, Tuesday the 22nd, which is what we're going to cover today.
Marbles was able to convince Alex to go to see a doctor friend of his, Dr. Amy Offutt.
Who practices in Marble Falls, Texas, which is about an hour outside Austin.
And at this point, I feel like we're in some kind of a weird marbles-based synchronicity.
jordan holmes
Yeah, what is going on here?
unidentified
I don't know.
jordan holmes
Is it where Smurfs?
dan friesen
I feel like I'm asleep or something, and I'm dreaming of marbles.
jordan holmes
Oh, you're just marbling, not the marbles the way that marbles need to marble.
dan friesen
Right, she prescribed marble rye.
So Alex saw Dr. Offit in the morning of Wednesday, March 23rd, and as such, he didn't do his show.
Additionally, he didn't show up for the first day of his scheduled deposition, which was supposed to be, like I said, on Wednesday and Thursday.
This could end up being a problem down the line and might result in some sanctions.
Dr. Offit was in agreement with Marbles.
She said that Alex shouldn't be doing this deposition at all, based on issues related to stress.
She said, quote, I had a medical visit with Mr. Alex Jones for acute medical issues that were time-sensitive and potentially serious.
Right.
It's unclear.
note, however, there's a redaction.
Quote, we started a comprehensive medical evaluation, and he has labs that are pending to assess his blank status.
I've asked him to avoid too much stress until we have results from the blood tests this morning.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Assuming that this isn't all an elaborate charade, that's kind of worrying.
And if I had to guess, this has to do with the medical condition that's on full display every day.
I guess it has something to do with him having a ridiculously high risk of heart attack or stroke.
jordan holmes
Probably.
dan friesen
Both of these are things that can be exacerbated by increased stress, and markers would be the kind of things you'd find doing blood tests.
On Wednesday, Alex didn't do his show, but he recorded a long voice memo while he was driving, probably to Dr. Offit's office in Marble Falls, that Owen played periodically on the show to keep the audience from tuning out from his boring ass.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
Just in case they might think that Alex accidentally showed up again, so they, well, maybe he'll come back, yeah.
dan friesen
We got him.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, a couple of fun pieces of trivia to throw in just for flavor here.
Dr. Marbles included the dubious claim that he was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2021 in his Statement of Facts in his affidavit, which is hilarious.
jordan holmes
I read that.
I read that, and I still don't believe it's true.
And yet it's in an affidavit.
dan friesen
He swore it.
jordan holmes
That's wrong.
dan friesen
Also, it's hard to get a sense of who Dr. Offit is, but I was able to find an August 2021 article from a local Texas blog about how her and her husband had decided not to get vaccinated.
jordan holmes
Good doctor!
dan friesen
She doesn't run a normal medical office either.
jordan holmes
Not a surprise.
dan friesen
She works out of a place called Heart and Soul Integrative Health and Yoga.
She apparently has an MD, but her practice is in integrative medicine, which is definitely not where you'd go if you were in need of acute emergency consultation.
Integrative medicine is built on relationships with patients, and her practice seems to actually be one that involves a bunch of hormone therapy and yoga.
Also, she doesn't accept insurance, which is...
Strange.
jordan holmes
Well, no insurance will accept her.
I think she can say that, but I'm pretty sure it goes the other way around.
dan friesen
I'm not sure.
Certainly, that's not how it's put on the website.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I would imagine so.
dan friesen
I don't know what's going up here, but this is 100% not the doctor you drive an hour to see if you're needing a consultation about a condition that could be an emergency.
None of this adds up.
None of it makes sense.
And I think that she has some kind of association with the America Frontline doctors, the hydroxychloroquine ivermectin doctors.
So I think that that That might be where the connection is with her and why he would go see her as opposed to someone potentially more qualified.
jordan holmes
Well, sure as fuck isn't because he wants to start doing yoga.
dan friesen
I would think not.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
A lot of neck flexibility exercises.
jordan holmes
A lot of demons in yoga, I would assume.
dan friesen
So it's hard to tell precisely what's going on here, but I think it's probably fair to say that this is an intersection of a shamefully transparent attempt to avoid the deposition and a real but probably not immediately pressing underlying condition that Alex is almost certainly struggling with.
He's in terrible shape, and if he'd had a heart attack at any point in the last three years, I can't imagine anyone being surprised.
jordan holmes
Unsurprising.
dan friesen
So on Wednesday evening, the judge in the case, Judge Bellis, gave an order that was basically saying that Alex didn't listen to Dr. Marbles and still came into work.
So that affidavit isn't really all that convincing in terms of the deposition.
jordan holmes
Ah, but he does have a Nobel Peace Prize.
dan friesen
Maybe.
unidentified
Somebody said he should get one.
dan friesen
Okay.
unidentified
The court wasn't sure who Dr. Offit was, but taken as a whole, the two doctors provided indications that Alex had medical issues that, quote, quote, while potentially serious, are not currently serious enough to either require his hospitalization or convince him to stop engaging in his broadcasts.
dan friesen
Yeah.
unidentified
Bellis went on to say, quote, Mr. Jones cannot unilaterally decide to continue to engage in his broadcasts but refuse to participate in a deposition.
dan friesen
And thus, she rejected the motion Alex's lawyers had made to reschedule and barring a change in circumstances, like Alex actually being hospitalized, that deposition would go on as planned on Thursday, March 24th.
So the real question became, what happens Thursday morning?
Did Alex show up to do his show?
Or does he show up at the deposition?
Or does he do neither?
jordan holmes
Well, let's find out!
dan friesen
In a very brazen move, Alex did not show up for the deposition on Thursday.
He also didn't do his show, though the show did open with a pre-recorded video of him complaining about how his trial is a show trial and how it's not a big deal for him to unilaterally decide that the deposition date should be changed.
jordan holmes
No one will ever find me!
dan friesen
The video he put out is legitimately insane.
It's complete nonsense.
jordan holmes
Great.
dan friesen
To be perfectly honest, when he didn't show up for Wednesday's deposition, I was pretty sure he wasn't going to show up on Thursday either.
And a big part of that was because what he was actually required to produce for the deposition is stuff he could never, never bring up.
It seemed likely to me that he knew he was going to be sanctioned whether he showed up or not.
And if he was able to not show up and make his not showing up somehow about the court not respecting his health needs, he had a chance of changing the narrative and distracting his audience from his clear inability to answer direct questions, particularly about his finances.
Since this is a deposition in the penalty phase of the case, a number of the topics he was going to be required to bring documents about were issues with finances, including agreements that he had with Longevity, which of course is the veterinary and Dr. Wallach supplement company, and any cryptocurrency transactions, and documents related to the connections between his various shell companies, like PQPR Holdings Limited and JLJR Holdings LLC.
jordan holmes
Good stuff.
dan friesen
If you're in Alex's position, it's strongly in your interest to stonewall this kind of stuff, because for the charade of your show to really work, it's pretty important for the listeners to just think that they give Alex money and he uses it to fight the big bad globalists.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Looking at the actual details of his finances would threaten that image and probably chip away at the audience's impetus to blindly throw money at InfoWars.
You know, he's not going to provide this information that is being required of him in the deposition, and that'll get him sanctioned.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He cannot show up, and that'll probably also get him sanctioned.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Now, there's been a lot of talk and headlines about him getting arrested.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
And from my understanding, that was never really a likely outcome.
But that if he were arrested, it would just be a situation where someone comes and gets him and makes him sit for the deposition.
It's not like throwing him in jail.
jordan holmes
He doesn't go to debtor's prison until he can pay off enough of the settlement in order to sit for the deposition.
dan friesen
They send out the marshals.
I don't know if that's true.
jordan holmes
You go pick him up.
dan friesen
Right.
But I feel like this video from Thursday morning...
When he didn't show up for the deposition, the insane one, it's too important to ignore.
So we're going to dip into that really quick before we get to the episode from the 22nd.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
So here's where it starts.
And he's like, hey, man, I talked to Dr. Marbles.
alex jones
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us on this live Thursday edition.
When I say live, Owen Schroyer is live in the studio.
I am taping this in the morning from my home.
Before I go and get some more medical tests.
I'm 48. I'm under a lot of stress.
And Dr. Marble was in studio as a guest on other issues on Monday and saw some signs of some concerning things.
Checked me out with a stethoscope and blood pressure machine and said that he thought I should go get checked out by a doctor.
And so as soon as I could get into a clinic versus checking myself into the emergency room.
Would have been Wednesday morning.
dan friesen
There's urgent care centers all over the place.
That's not accurate.
unidentified
Nope.
dan friesen
The only time I could go to this weirdo America's Frontline hydroxychloroquine yoga doctor, that's when...
jordan holmes
Hey, look, I can go to an urgent care facility or the emergency room or, I don't know, backwoods doula.
I could do all of those things, but...
If the yoga lady's available, you go to the yoga lady.
dan friesen
I think this speaks to the fact that it's not urgent and it's not an emergency, first of all.
Right.
And then second of all, if our Alex, I'd feel pretty insulted.
He's a celebrity, and this yoga doctor can't get him in.
Can't fit him in?
jordan holmes
If I were Alex, I'd feel pretty insulted by Dr. Marbles looking at him and saying, I need to take your blood pressure.
dan friesen
That's mean.
I imagine Alex gets that a lot.
jordan holmes
That's fair.
dan friesen
So he gets to the motion to postpone the deposition, and he has some pretty unhinged ideas.
jordan holmes
Oh yeah?
Let's hear them.
alex jones
And I think it would be a big deal.
I just had my lawyers contact them and say, hey, we probably need to move this deposition.
They've moved depositions on us, dates and times, at least five times that we can document.
jordan holmes
How could you not document other times?
alex jones
I've already sat three times for depositions in the Sandy Hook case.
We've given them over 300,000 pages of documents.
They got all our financial records, everything for a defamation case.
And so when you see my financials on the news, when you see all the depositions with me on the news, and then you see that I've been defaulted, when you see that I've been defaulted saying I gave them nothing, it's all a lie.
These are show trials.
These are staged events.
But I intend to sit for the deposition, the fourth one.
I intend to fight, even though I'm in a court case in Connecticut and Texas with three different cases, two in Texas, Alex doesn't get to decide what is or is not a big deal for the court.
dan friesen
He seems to think that his individual judgment determines what rules he is or is not bound to, which is a pretty disturbing mindset to have on display.
It's essentially him saying, I'm above the law.
Take it or leave it.
jordan holmes
It's like a tasting plate of the law.
He's like, ooh, this part of the law, I enjoy it.
dan friesen
It very well may be the case that other hearings or depositions have been rescheduled in the past, but when that has happened, it was agreed to by both parties, and I would guess that it didn't happen with almost no lead time, and based on clearly very flimsy rationalizations.
If Alex is trying to suggest that this medical situation is really actually serious to him, I mean, he does.
jordan holmes
I will say that in all fairness, one time the defense lawyers did, or the plaintiff's attorneys, did have to reschedule because the dog ate their homework.
Sure.
The judge was like, well, I mean, clearly we have to wait until you can print that out again.
dan friesen
It's a valid reason within the Texas courts.
jordan holmes
You know.
dan friesen
Yeah, and larger picture, though, this isn't an isolated case of Alex trying to postpone this deposition.
Alex's legal team has been trying to get this deposition as well as that of their new corporate representative, his lawyer, Brittany Paz.
He's trying to get those postponed for a while, and according to a court filing, quote, they have also suggested that they may need to extend the trial date in this case.
So Alex and his lawyers are trying to push this back and kick the can down the road.
It's one thing to need to reschedule something.
It's another...
Yeah, and it's not like he's Chevron.
jordan holmes
He can't afford a judge and buy all that stuff, you know?
He's stuck.
dan friesen
He can afford half a judge.
jordan holmes
He can afford a little bit of a judge, yeah.
Like a little tasting plate of the judge.
dan friesen
And also, I think in that clip, you kind of get a tell from Alex that he knows he's full of shit.
He says that he's already sat for a deposition three times in, quote, the Sandy Hook case, and he uses the singular noun there.
Later in the clip, he shows that he's keenly aware that there's multiple different cases, which is part of the reason that he's required to sit for separate depositions.
And then there's the dynamic that he's completely abused the discovery and deposition processes in the first phase of the trial, and now we're into the damage phase, where there's a different set of facts that the depositions are set to explore.
So obviously there's going to be more time.
you're required to say.
Alex knows all this, but he's counting on his audience accepting this bullshit woe is me take where the whole world has conspired against him in this show trial.
And honestly, it's probably going to work with most of his listeners, but it's a complete fraud.
jordan holmes
I mean, it is weird how, like, everybody knows that this is malicious.
There's nobody who doesn't know that this is malicious.
And if you don't know that this is malicious, you are hopelessly naive, right?
And yet, at the same time, it's like, well, we've given other people chances before when it wasn't malicious, so in the sense of fairness, we need to afford the same chance even when people are malicious, and it's like, that's...
We could just not do that.
dan friesen
Well, there's a limit.
There's a limit, and I think we're well past that.
jordan holmes
I think we're well past that, which is the problem.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Limits should be where it ends.
dan friesen
And to be clear, I do think Alex has an actual medical condition that is at the root of this.
I just think it's bullshit the way he's using it.
I don't think it's sincere.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, if you're worried about the deposition being stressful for you, my friend, I'm afraid that's what a deposition is going to be for you.
Period.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
There's no breezy deposition for him.
dan friesen
I actually don't think that he's too stressed out by these depositions because he knows he can just say, I don't know.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
dan friesen
And kill time.
jordan holmes
I mean, I said something.
dan friesen
The issue, too, though, is anything that's...
If stress is legitimately the issue, he screams and freaks the fuck out on his show.
He constantly storms out of studio whenever he's mad at the crew.
There's no more stressful experience for him than doing his show.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And I think it would be much easier to take this kind of a complaint seriously if his actions didn't indicate that he was still more than willing to do the thing that's painfully, obviously stressful.
jordan holmes
Sure.
I mean, maybe he is doing yoga then.
dan friesen
No.
So Alex gets into the issue of default judgments, and I think he steps in it.
alex jones
Default judgments.
Are when somebody never shows up one time or never shows up to court or doesn't file papers or gets caught filing fraudulent documents.
And even then you get sanctioned with lesser sanctions.
We have been fed into the Democratic Party process by political judges.
dan friesen
Even if that's the standard that Alex is using to determine when default judgments are justified, his case would merit a default judgment.
He and Owen Schroer both didn't appear for scheduled depositions early in these cases.
He didn't respond to multiple requests or documents.
On multiple occasions, he sent completely unprepared people to depositions to pretend to be corporate representatives, which may not be the same thing as filing fraudulent documents, but man, it's close.
Also, he had a ton of opportunities to stop abusing the process.
He was given smaller sanctions repeatedly, and it was abundantly clear to anyone paying attention that he was going to He was going to keep that behavior the fuck up.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
And that sanctions weren't having any effect on his non-participation and abuse of the process.
jordan holmes
That's why he likes Putin.
dan friesen
He did all this to himself.
And even by his own metric that he's laying out here, he deserves that default judgment against him.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
He has just...
Condemned himself, essentially.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, you say that, but it's like, what is the words that he says?
You know, like, what do they mean?
You know, and I feel like you're just being unfair with your interpretation of the meaning of words.
dan friesen
Eh, yeah, that may be...
No.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
So, Alex is just mad at everybody that's like...
They're the ones trying to cash in on Sandy Hook.
jordan holmes
Of course, yeah.
alex jones
They picked a few things I talked about years ago out of context.
Made me the Sandy Hook man.
And now when we go to court, literally the judges are primping with their mirrors and their makeup and they're micing them up and micing up the lawyers and the BBC and HBO.
unidentified
And it's a big court.
alex jones
And all the Netflix are there.
And then they get up and say, he's getting rich off Sandy Hook.
He made his whole career off of it.
As the New York Times writer says, buy my book, buy my book.
It just came out in time for the trial.
Buy my book.
Everything they say about me is who they are.
dan friesen
Elizabeth Williamson's book is available.
jordan holmes
Apparently, shout out to Liz on this one.
dan friesen
You could buy a Sandy Hook American tragedy.
Alex, give it a nice little plug there.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think he's distorting the actual conversation.
I don't know if anybody is saying that he made his career on Sandy Hook.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
More just that his actions in the...
Avenue of his career, he profited by inflicting immense pain on the people who experienced that tragedy.
jordan holmes
If he does not understand clearly what the problem is, after having it been explained to him in so many ways, with so many carrots, so many sticks, sanctions, blood...
Everything!
dan friesen
He understands it fully, but he can't appear to understand it or else the audience will be like, wait, you suck, man.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I know, but isn't that weird that we're on like four or five years of this and he still has to pretend like he can't learn?
dan friesen
Yeah, he really...
Oh, well, there's only four ways.
jordan holmes
No, that's fair.
dan friesen
None of these follow the law.
Yeah.
So Alex makes a claim that could get him sued if he talks any more about this.
alex jones
The groups around Sandy Hook tragedy have brought in hundreds of millions of dollars of donations.
Some of the people involved rake in up to a million a year themselves personally.
And when we go to trial, all that's coming out.
One way or another.
These judges that aren't judges think they can contain this and control all this.
It's going to be their Waterloo.
Because America knows how corrupt and out of control this system is.
So look.
dan friesen
Oh, boy.
So, who cares what charitable groups have raised?
Like, who cares?
They make money and use it for charitable causes.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
dan friesen
What does that have to do with this case?
jordan holmes
Nothing.
dan friesen
You notice that Alex isn't saying that particular plaintiffs in the case have brought in millions of dollars from Sandy Hook, because if he did, he would get sued again.
jordan holmes
Well, that's kind of a problem.
dan friesen
That's the impression that he's trying to give the audience, but he knows damn well that he can't say that, because if he did, he would be defaming them again.
jordan holmes
Say a name!
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Go ahead and say a name!
dan friesen
We saw this play out in...
The last deposition that Alex was in, the one in December that I went to in Austin.
Alex has complaints about a group called Sandy Hook Promise, and there are some questions that Alex seems to have about their fundraising and their activism.
Alex believes that all of the Sandy Hook parents are one monolithic group, so he's decided that the plaintiffs in the case against him are interchangeable with Sandy Hook Promise, which he literally knows to not be true based on this exchange from that deposition.
unidentified
What is Honor Network?
You know what that is, right?
alex jones
I think that's a fundraising mechanism that he's involved in.
I have heard of that.
unidentified
A fundraising mechanism.
jordan holmes
How do you...
mark bankston
Let's start, because I know you're not guessing, because you just said you weren't going to guess.
unidentified
So where did you hear that?
Who told you that?
alex jones
I can't remember exactly.
There's been news articles about the...
Tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars raised by the Sandy Hook families.
unidentified
By something called Sandy Hook Promise, right?
alex jones
And some controversy about where that money goes.
So I have heard about that.
unidentified
Does Leonard Posner have anything to do with Sandy Hook Promise?
alex jones
Like I told you, I've heard of him in the Honor Network.
unidentified
Honor Network.
alex jones
I've heard that, and I've heard the other name he said.
I don't know.
unidentified
You're just conflicted.
mark bankston
I mean, you've heard some random stuff, and now you're trying to smear Mr. Posner with it, right?
unidentified
He has nothing to do with San Diego Promise, does he?
Objection form.
alex jones
You're asking me questions, so I don't know.
jordan holmes
Yeah, and I'm asking you, what do you know about Honor Network?
dan friesen
and you just started telling me some stuff but it's not anything you actually know right alex may try to yell and derail the trial with this kind of stuff but it's not going to go anywhere do anything because his point is meaningless he can use this insinuation here on his show to make the audience think that he's going to walk in like a conquering hero and put the system on trial these judges aren't judges it's all a farce and alex knows that he can say exactly what he's saying but if he adds one more detail he's going to owe a ton more money and maybe create Another summary judgment on the way.
Also, not for nothing, but Alex's breathing is super heavy in this clip, and it's kind of worrying.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
It doesn't sound good here.
alex jones
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I mean, at this point, I'm waiting for him to walk into the court and just be like, uh, Tubal Kane?
dan friesen
Oh, Rogan would tell him to.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's right.
That's fair.
Jimmy James!
dan friesen
So Alex gets into how, I think maybe he was talking to Marjorie Taylor Greene, and she told him about HIPAA.
jordan holmes
Oh, God, no.
dan friesen
Because Alex has some thoughts about HIPAA.
alex jones
My health issues are my issues, and they're private, and they're protected by HIPAA.
And, I mean, you saw this judge up in Connecticut.
Yesterday, you saw the lawyers, these Democrat Party lawyers that work for Blumenthal, openly saying, we want him arrested and put in jail if he doesn't show up for some multi-day long way Connecticut law works.
It's just an unlimited long deal.
And so when I talked to these doctors, they said, you're crazy.
You need to go home.
You need to go get these tests.
I got more tests set today, more tomorrow.
And you need to stay away from the microphone.
Well, here I am.
Even though I shouldn't be on here because I have to respond to the hundreds of news articles, including the Associated Press, that are attacking me and saying I'm a horrible person.
dan friesen
I don't know if anyone cares to cover whether or not you're a bad person.
jordan holmes
I mean, you are.
dan friesen
Yeah, I think that's taken as read.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I think we all assumed it.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So anyway, he's going to protect his health privacy with HIPAA.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But then he goes on to just immediately talk about his health situation.
jordan holmes
Oh, he's violating HIPAA.
alex jones
I might just release my medical records and make you all look like fools.
jordan holmes
Is that what we got?
alex jones
I've had EKGs.
I've had scans.
I've had it all.
And I started getting sick after I got COVID last year.
Almost killed my dad.
And I took care of them.
And it was a really bad Delta variant.
And I got spike protein.
And like everybody else, it attacked my cardiovascular system.
Okay?
And so, again...
Somebody on death row is allowed to go get their medical treatment, and hearings and things are postponed.
But I'm treated worse than somebody on death row.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
If you can believe anything Alex says, then there's a decent chance he might be suffering from long-term complications from one of the times he got COVID.
He may have also gotten it, like, again.
And then that exacerbates the situation.
alex jones
Totally.
dan friesen
But just based on what he's saying, this makes total sense.
He's someone who's been super unsafe with his behavior.
He's gotten COVID multiple times.
And as we've learned, there are many poorly understood phenomena afoot with this virus, where lingering effects, that's not too uncommon.
I wouldn't honestly be too surprised if Alex has heart damage that was caused by one of the times he got COVID.
jordan holmes
Totally.
dan friesen
That being said, he's also a super unhealthy person who's at high risk of heart disease, even without COVID.
So I don't want to jump to too much.
conclusions sure the part that makes covid as an idea fit kind of neatly is alex's claim that he was getting sicker since he got covid that second time which may be true and thus a symptom or it may be the way that his mind has experienced things but it's not actually an accurate reflection of the progression of his symptoms it'll be interesting to see how this plays out and um
I actually don't think it's going to be that interesting for anyone but me, but I'll be keeping an eye on the situation and seeing if Alex just stops talking about this as soon as it's not a convenient excuse for him.
jordan holmes
I mean, the reason that people bring up HIPAA is almost exclusively when they have COVID and they don't want to tell you they have COVID because of whatever reason.
Well, yes, recently.
dan friesen
I think there are plenty of other reasons where HIPAA comes up in appropriate settings.
jordan holmes
Oh, no!
When I was in hearing aids, I worked with HIPAA all the time.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
I have all kinds of knowledge about HIPAA.
I had to take a class on it, the whole thing.
None of it was like, hey, don't tell nobody you got hearing aids.
dan friesen
I recall it being relevant.
I was a temp for a short period of time at a health insurance company.
I dealt with underwriting.
I think there were some things that I had to understand about privacy.
jordan holmes
One of the simplest is if somebody's like, hey, can I have my medical records?
You have to be like...
Who are you?
dan friesen
What's the password?
jordan holmes
Can I see you?
dan friesen
So, Alex is kind of bummed out, actually, that he doesn't get to go to the deposition.
jordan holmes
I hate this man so much.
alex jones
To be talking about here, and I'm literally, quite frankly, was looking forward to these depositions.
So I was going to chew this Chris Maddy guy out.
jordan holmes
Hold me back!
alex jones
Then they're like, you're crazy if you go do your normal 10, 12, 14 hour work days.
You can't do it.
And so I got some more tests coming up today and tomorrow.
And I'm going to get those knocked out and I should be fine.
But I might have to go on some medication or whatever.
And it's just the stress of this world.
I really care.
And I've never really...
Made any bones about that, but again, they want me arrested.
dan friesen
Wait, is it the stress of the world, or is it long COVID, or do you have a heart condition?
jordan holmes
It could be anything.
He's having trouble breathing, Dan.
Why don't you care about a man in struggle?
dan friesen
I like the idea, though, that he's like, I was wanting to get in there and chew out that Chris Meddy.
jordan holmes
I would just fucking put on my Sunday best.
dan friesen
I tried to put a million dollar bounty on him, and that didn't work.
jordan holmes
That didn't work!
dan friesen
I gotta yell at him.
jordan holmes
When was the last time a Texan put a million dollar bounty on him?
$100 bounty on somebody and it didn't work.
Crazy.
dan friesen
So, look.
Alex has got a message for the leftists out there.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
And that is, hey, sorry.
Sorry, leftists.
jordan holmes
That's really nice of him to apologize.
alex jones
And yeah, sorry, leftists.
My health comes before you.
You're planning to become famous off my name and to steal my identity and to say I'm the Sandy Hook man.
You're the Sandy Hook people.
You eat, drink, sleep, and everything.
If that's what you do, I will continue to question any big event because a lot of times they're staged like the Gulf of Tonkin.
I'm just amazed.
jordan holmes
You just can't stop.
alex jones
The list goes on and on.
But you guys are the ones that dredge this up and misrepresent what I've said over and over again.
Disgusting.
So you guys can move your depositions, you guys can do whatever you want, however you want, whenever you want.
And then after all these depositions, all these things I've done, you turn around and say that I have not, you say that I have, you know, I'm hiding and all this crap.
Everybody knows Alex Jones doesn't hide.
Everybody knows Alex Jones on the front lines of this situation.
dan friesen
Alex Jones doesn't hide, I say, as I record this from my bedroom.
jordan holmes
I'm really concerned here.
That's fucking Hitler in the underground bunker being like, I've never hidden from a fight in my life!
dan friesen
I'm on the front line!
jordan holmes
I will fight to the very last, kaboom!
dan friesen
This is nonsense.
jordan holmes
So stupid.
dan friesen
Also, I'm conflicted.
I can't really tell if I think that that cough is real or if it's me trying to convince my parents I'm sick.
jordan holmes
Totally.
I'm right there with you.
dan friesen
That's the problem with trying to assess the information that's being put out by a liar.
You really, really don't know.
If taken seriously...
I think it's fucked up that he's breathing so heavily and coughing throughout this little video that he put out.
It's like no more than ten minutes, probably.
jordan holmes
No, I listened to the coughs and then replayed them in my head like I'm in a seven.
Just like, is this a signal?
Is there a slight frequency variation that'll prove he's lying?
I don't know.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's tough.
So anyway, here's how this ends.
alex jones
Everybody knows Alex Jones doesn't hide.
Everybody knows Alex Jones is on the front lines of this situation.
And I appreciate the listeners supporting us.
We intend to battle all these kangaroo court operations, but it takes money to hire the lawyers to do it.
So please continue to support us at Infowarsstore.com or by calling toll-free 888-253-3139 and also our other great sponsors of a lot of great products.
And that's basically for everybody that tuned in today and want to know where Alex Jones is, that's it.
And, you know, like I said...
jordan holmes
Wanting your money.
alex jones
They want me arrested.
And again, they tell you I'm defaulted.
I'm already guilty.
Well, then why am I having to testify if I'm guilty?
And again, I'm happy to go do that.
It's just that this isn't the time for me to be doing that.
And they got to move deposition.
So I am as good as these people are.
I have rights.
I have a First Amendment.
And I have a right to my medical life.
And I'm sorry you don't like that.
I know all over the world they're taking conservatives and Christians' health care away.
The left has their social credit score.
These people are dangerous authoritarians, and they know it, and they're going to be defeated.
All right, back to Owen Schroer and the live broadcast.
Infowars.com, the front lines of human liberty.
dan friesen
I'm fascinated by...
I mean, first of all, obviously, plug.
Obviously, that's going to be in there.
But I'm fascinated by this consistent behavior and, like...
Is there something about his audience that, like, really responds to, like, petulant baby outbursts?
jordan holmes
There must be.
dan friesen
Like, I can't imagine hearing somebody act like that and being like, fuck yeah, that is a guy who is...
Fighting.
I mean, that's somebody who's really doing the work on the front line.
Someone who's just wah.
jordan holmes
That's a 13-year-old.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
That is a 13-year-old in fucking eighth grade who's like, I'm just a little bit too tall.
Like, it's fucking awful to listen to this whiny, whiny team.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's like, it comes off like...
They didn't let me on the football team because they don't like me.
jordan holmes
Totally.
And I'm too good.
I'm too good.
I'm so good.
I'm better than everybody else on the baseball team.
And yeah, that shortstop, he hit 33, whatever.
I'm better than him.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So now we jump to the 22nd.
And that is Tuesday, the day that Alex decided to come do his show as opposed to staying home under doctor's orders.
alex jones
Right.
dan friesen
And I think it might be a critical mistake.
I mean, regardless of what happens on the show, there is still the image of him coming to do the show undercuts his argument so entirely.
jordan holmes
Really breaks it down.
dan friesen
See, I wouldn't have done it if I were him.
jordan holmes
I can't do a three-hour deposition, but I can do a three-hour show.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Yeah, completely different.
dan friesen
So here's where we start off.
alex jones
It's Tuesday, March 22nd, 2022.
322-2022.
Quite a date for the old boys over at Skull and Bones.
jordan holmes
What?
alex jones
And the Bohemian Grove and their satanic death cult.
jordan holmes
Why?
alex jones
Hellbent on establishing their new world order, destroying the Christian era and the Renaissance and establishing in its place an absolute scientific dictatorship over humanity.
Now, Many a politician and leader going back to World War II has talked of a New World Order.
dan friesen
So this is Alex trying to suggest that there's some kind of a mystical, magical spell that Biden was casting by using the words New World Order on this holiest of days to the globalists, 322.
The problem is, though, that Biden said them the day before on 321.
Alex is just whining about it.
jordan holmes
Ah, it's a different time zone.
dan friesen
Right, I know.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
322 is on the Skull and Bones logo.
jordan holmes
Oh, that makes sense.
dan friesen
Yeah, there's different theories about exactly what the significance of that number is, but I don't know.
I don't think it matters.
jordan holmes
No.
No.
Wow.
I could not be less interested.
In him being like...
Also, many a politician over the years has said New World Order.
dan friesen
It's true.
jordan holmes
That should undercut your argument.
At no point in time, despite many politicians having called for the New World Order, and you claiming that every time they do so, they are creating that New World Order that you so fear, and them still having not done so.
dan friesen
Yeah, it does seem to keep happening.
Particularly around times when situations are changing in the world.
jordan holmes
You know, here's what I would liken that to.
If I said, many a time the pastor of a church has said that the end times are upon us, the following part would be, and they still aren't because they're full of shit, right?
And so that would be the same response.
dan friesen
Yeah, I think it would be a fine response.
Let's see how you respond to this.
Something about the lineage of the term New World Order.
jordan holmes
All right, now I'm listening.
dan friesen
This might be close to...
jordan holmes
Racist?
dan friesen
Nazi-ish.
jordan holmes
Oh, there we go.
alex jones
Many a politician and leader going back to World War II has talked of a new world order.
And H.G. Wells, more than 100 years ago, wrote the best-selling book titled A New World Order.
And it came out in the...
Nuremberg trials of the Nazis in World War II, at the end of World War II, that the head of German propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, wanted to kill H.G. Wells because of his book, The New World Order.
jordan holmes
Wait, is that good or bad?
alex jones
That book was a different worldview of a world government than what the Nazis wanted, and they knew...
That H.G. Wells, the non-fiction, also fiction writer, was the brain trust of the Anglo-American establishment.
That's the name of the British-U.S.
global government combine.
And the Nazis had their own New World Order, and Adolf Alois Hitler, you may have heard of him, had an order out to kill...
H.G. Wells, this is Mainline History.
So when you hear about the New World Order, you might pop your ears up a little bit and open your eyes up and focus.
dan friesen
I think that the extent of Alex's actual knowledge about World War II is that Hitler's middle name is A. Lewis.
jordan holmes
It really does feel like it.
dan friesen
He says it all the time.
jordan holmes
He's really aware of it.
dan friesen
He says Adolf A. Lewis Hitler more than he says Barack Hussein Obama.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's because it's Mainline News.
dan friesen
I'm flabbergasted.
jordan holmes
I mean, you know when you love a person, you just give them their full name.
dan friesen
So Alex is making all this up.
There are a couple of important things to point out here, and the first is that you can't just throw around claims like it came out in the Nuremberg trials and expect that to stand as compelling argumentation.
jordan holmes
No, actually, I made that argument at the Nuremberg trials where it came out, and thus...
dan friesen
And Francis Boyle was the lead prosecutor.
jordan holmes
And Dr. Marbles and I have got a peace problem.
dan friesen
So the material involved in the Nuremberg trials is so dense and copious that understanding all of it would itself be the work of a person's entire career.
If you want to cite something in it, you really need to be more specific, because to not do so puts your audience in the terrible position of either taking your word for it, or I guess scouring thousands and thousands of pages of documentation to see if what you're saying shows up anywhere.
Another important thing to keep in mind is that Joseph Goebbels was not tried at any Nuremberg trial, because he had already killed himself prior to the end of the war.
The Yale Law School, through the Avalon Project, hosts transcripts of the entire proceedings of the Nuremberg trial, and H.G. Wells isn't mentioned once.
It is recorded that Wells' books were included in the books that were burned beginning in 1933, but it's really unfair to pretend that Wells was the main target.
Like, Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute of Sex Research was definitely a central target, and then tons of authors who the Nazis didn't feel were German enough, or the right kind of German, had their works burned.
It's a long list, including people like F. Scott Fitzgerald, Upton Sinclair, Franz Kafka, and Helen Keller.
Like, it's a lot of people.
jordan holmes
It wasn't so much the authors as it was, just, like, general knowledge itself was under attack.
dan friesen
And I think that the awareness that H.G. Wells was included in that book-burning list may be what Alex...
Maybe.
jordan holmes
Maybe he's just combining that H.G. Wells had a book named New World Order and Nuremberg Trials is a great place to put it in.
dan friesen
Yeah, so he just makes up whatever he wants to make fake points when he's trying to sell some sort of a narrative, whatever that day's narrative is.
Alex's movie Endgame begins with a misquotation from H.G. Wells' New World Order, and I have absolutely zero qualms saying that he has never read that book.
jordan holmes
Zero.
dan friesen
He almost certainly just saw that faulty quotation in a John Birch Society pamphlet his dad gave him, and that's just been his reality since.
An important point to bring up here is that, in some ways, you could really see what Alex is doing here as being pro-Nazi.
I know that he wouldn't accept that characterization, but it really feels like he's applying his own worldview and motives to Goebbels here in a way that's really only meant to get the audience to think that maybe the Nazis weren't doing all that bad stuff.
They were fighting Alex's New World Order.
jordan holmes
I've been trying to parse exactly what it was he was saying, and that's where I'm getting stuck, because it does sound...
dan friesen
I'm not sure if that's the only reading, but it's a reading.
jordan holmes
It sure is.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Alex constantly talks about the globalists and the New World Order as being working for the literal Christian devil.
So it kind of paints the Nazis as not as bad as they seem.
jordan holmes
I mean, what he said was that H.G. Wells had a book named New World Order and Goebbels wanted to kill him.
Because the Nazis had their own New World Order, and we are told pretty clearly that H.G. Wells' New World Order is the devil one.
dan friesen
Unless the devil is farming out all kinds of...
jordan holmes
Back in World War II, everybody was playing in the minor leagues.
There were a bunch of smaller town devils.
There was barnstorming devils who would come in.
They'd have their own kind of thing going on for a while.
dan friesen
Yeah, I find this absurd, but...
So I can't say with any certainty how much of this is intentional, but if Alex isn't trying to be a Nazi apologist, he needs to be way more careful about how he talks about issues related to World War II.
The first step would be to just stop making stuff up about it.
And then, after that, stop saying things that clearly indicate that you personally identify with Nazi leadership.
These would be admirable goals.
To try and bring into the proceedings.
jordan holmes
You know, a lot of politicians and writers have said the words New World Order over the years, and the one I agree with is Goebbels.
That's probably not the way you want to go, right?
dan friesen
Yep, probably not.
jordan holmes
That's about it.
dan friesen
So yeah, Alex might sympathize with the Nazis.
So anyway, Alex gets into talking about New World Order stuff.
As he has been.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
But I think in this clip he actually kind of lets slip a little bit too clearly that he knows what people mean when they use that term.
alex jones
The politicians will say, oh, well, a new world order just means a reshuffling of the power structure, and it can certainly mean that.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
We're putting together a compilation, there's hundreds of these that I'll be airing later in the day, of prime ministers and presidents and world leaders defining their new world order.
As world government.
Autocratic, authoritarian, world government.
And Klaus Schwab has come out saying, we had the video, China is the model of world government.
So it's not just a world government.
It's a worldwide authoritarian government.
With forced abortion, infanticide, giant death camps.
You will own nothing, you will have nothing, and you will be happy or you'll go to a camp.
dan friesen
Keep in mind this characterization that Alex is making, because he's saying that they have this compilation, and he's going to play it later, and we'll see if it holds up to this standard that he's...
jordan holmes
It sounds like it's a pretty big compilation.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
And, spoiler alert, there's no Klaus Schwab in it.
It doesn't play any video of Klaus Schwab saying that China is the model of the New World Order that he wants to create.
jordan holmes
Seems like that's important.
dan friesen
Yeah, but Alex says, I have the video in the same way that he says it's in the white papers, or it's not even debated, or whatever.
It's just a tick.
jordan holmes
He's got the...
dan friesen
Yeah, it's just a tick for his audience to be like, oh, he means it this time.
jordan holmes
He's definitely telling the truth now.
Never heard that one before.
dan friesen
I also want to touch on the meme that Alex dropped at the end there, the you will have nothing and you'll be happy thing.
This is something that's really caught on among shithead skeptics who don't actually want to put any work in but want to present themselves as competent news and politics critics.
I'm talking about people like Rogan and Russell Brand.
Brand has made multiple videos where this slogan is used in a nightmarish way to characterize the Great Reset conspiracy that he's hard at work making his millions of fans scared about.
Schwab never said, you will own nothing and you'll be happy.
That's not a quote.
It's a paraphrasing of something that was written by Danish MP Ida Auken in 2016.
Ida was envisioning what life might be like in 2030, and part of that vision was that things that had historically been seen as products were now services.
This essay is a little bit far-fetched, but the essential premise is that innovation and technological advancement will have made everything so available and abundant that there's no real reason to own anything anymore, since everything will be free.
From the essay, quote, First communication became digitized and free to everyone.
Then, when clean energy became free, things started to move quickly.
It made no sense for us to own cars anymore because we could call a driverless vehicle or flying car for longer journeys within minutes.
There are also aspects of this vision that are kind of dumb, inasmuch as they seem incredibly inefficient.
For instance, this part.
Quote, That seems like a step backwards.
In terms of efficiency, I'm not sure.
jordan holmes
Listen, imagination is fun.
dan friesen
Sure.
Ida's conclusion is that this new technologically advanced city provides literally everything a person could want, but also affords no actual privacy, and, quote, all in all, it's a good life.
There's no specific plan laid out here.
It's more or less a creative writing exercise where someone came up with some ideas of what life might look like in the future.
An excerpt from this essay was included in the World Economic Forum's video and blog post, quote, Eight Predictions for the World in 2030.
A paraphrasing of the ideas that Ida wrote out is included and summarized as, quote, You will own nothing and you will be happy.
This is not a description of some nefarious plan or the stated goal that Klaus Schwab is working towards.
It's a clunky brief synopsis of this person's essay.
But that's not how it's reported by people like Alex or Rogan or Russell Brand.
For them, it's basically a threat.
Like a parent saying, you'll eat your peas and you'll be happy.
jordan holmes
Do you know what's really funny about it?
dan friesen
What's that?
jordan holmes
Is that I remember a specific person saying, like, get rid of all your stuff.
You'll have nothing.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
And you'll be happy about it.
dan friesen
Right?
Was it the devil?
jordan holmes
No.
No, it wasn't the devil.
dan friesen
Wait, wait.
Let me see if I can...
jordan holmes
No, no.
And it was way back.
He was talking to some guy, and the guy was like, I've got all this shit!
What do I do?
And this guy was like, just get rid of it.
You don't need shit, because guess what?
It's not...
Making you happy.
dan friesen
Did this involve like a parable about a camel?
jordan holmes
No, no, no way.
Absolutely not.
Come on now.
dan friesen
So these people are fucking children.
They're desperate to portray their imagined enemies as parental figures for them to lash out at because in some way I feel like that's the only way they can experience the world.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And that kind of goes back to Alex's, like, his whiny, petulant nonsense in response to not getting his way about the legal case.
jordan holmes
I mean, it's not the first time that daddy issues will have an outsized effect on the world's end.
dan friesen
Yeah, I understand that and I appreciate it, but I do feel like there's a certain aspect to it that it's like, I didn't realize...
I realized that this kind of psychological phenomenon or whatever can have an impact.
I just didn't realize it was this profitable in terms of building an audience.
jordan holmes
I always thought that acting like this was a bad move.
dan friesen
Yeah, I kind of thought it was embarrassing.
jordan holmes
Yeah, maybe that's because I don't have daddy issues.
unidentified
Sure.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha ha Sure.
jordan holmes
So, that's why I trailed off at the end.
dan friesen
Right.
So, in this next clip, we find out that Alex was a little bit late finding out about Biden's comments.
jordan holmes
Oh, no!
alex jones
So, I was very tired yesterday, and I was going to bed early about 9 o 'clock, and my phone started blowing up by a lot of well-known talk show hosts and folks calling me and texting me saying, did you see Biden?
Did you see Biden?
Did you see Biden call for a new world order?
And I said, no, I'm going to see it now.
So I got up, got a glass of water, got in front of the big screen computer.
jordan holmes
Great story.
alex jones
That's better for you than the phones.
unidentified
Extra details.
alex jones
And I pulled it up, and sure as hell, there it was.
dan friesen
So this could be a symptom of Alex's COVID, you know, exhaustion.
jordan holmes
Terrible stories?
dan friesen
No, but going to bed so early.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
And this is me grasping at straws to build up a case because Alex's petty fascism is boring.
It's honestly bizarre for Alex to say that he heard about this clip at 9 p.m. because of some texts from a person he's clearly trying to imply is Tucker, the most important person in the world.
jordan holmes
He is.
dan friesen
That speech Biden gave was a little bit earlier in the day, and it was going around like a wildfire in the right wing and conspiracy information spaces immediately.
I texted you at like seven.
Yeah.
unidentified
So I imagine Alex is like, he's over two hours behind.
dan friesen
Like, we're the tip of the spear.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
What an idiot.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
This is pathetic.
dan friesen
So, you know, another thing that's pathetic is the way the media treats Alex.
jordan holmes
Oh, I mean, they're just so unfair.
dan friesen
Totally.
jordan holmes
It's like, oh, you can't run...
Hundreds of millions of lives without somebody being like, all mean to you.
dan friesen
Put that aside for a second.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
Because look, here's the deal.
Alex talks about the New World Order.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And everybody's like, boo, this.
But then Biden says New World Order.
jordan holmes
I love the New World Order.
dan friesen
No one's mad.
jordan holmes
Nobody's mad.
alex jones
Now, simultaneously, we have the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN.
I have articles here today.
Specifically saying, I talk about a new world order, and that it's hateful and bad, and that it doesn't exist, and that I should be taken off the air.
Their latest article was, America has a free speech problem in the New York Times on Friday.
Because they don't want us discussing the future of the world.
Remember when I played yesterday, Klaus Schwab says, we will decide the future of the humans.
dan friesen
Terrible Schwab impression.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that was real bad.
dan friesen
That's even not in line with his normal Schwab.
jordan holmes
That's worse than his bad Schwarzenegger.
dan friesen
He has very little range.
More importantly, though, people criticize Alex because he makes shit up, and then he uses the idea of a new world order to push incredibly hateful political positions to deny acts of right-wing terrorism.
In general, and then target marginalized and vulnerable populations.
It's a meaningful distinction, but I don't expect Alex to ever recognize it publicly.
Also, that New York Times article Alex is talking about actually says the opposite of what he's claiming it does.
The way he's talking about it reveals that he's literally just read the headline and assumed that it must be about how free speech is a problem because it allows Alex to say the things that he does.
He couldn't have even read the first two paragraphs without realizing that this article is saying the opposite.
Yeah.
unidentified
Quote, for all the tolerance and enlightenment that modern society claims, Americans are losing hold of a fundamental right as citizens of a free country, the right to speak their minds and voice their opinions in public without fear of being shamed or shunned.
dan friesen
This social silencing, the depluralization of America, has been evident for years, but dealing with it stirs yet even more fear.
It feels like a third rail, dangerous, for a strong nation and open society that...
jordan holmes
The irony of him criticizing that specific editorial is that everybody at the New York Times, who is Alex Jones, wrote that editorial.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
There's, like, I read that shit, and it's fucking shameful.
dan friesen
It's wild.
jordan holmes
It is disgusting.
dan friesen
Like, if Alex could string two sentences together on a page, he could have written that article.
jordan holmes
Absolutely!
dan friesen
Decrying the scourge of cancel culture.
unidentified
Oh my god.
dan friesen
But because he's too lazy to read past a headline, he's using it as a prop to build up a case that he's under attack.
It's just pathetic stuff.
Like, this is...
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's at times like this when there's a lot going on in Alex's world.
Lots of moving parts.
Lots of things going around that appear to be big stories, and then you're looking at his show, and it's like, you didn't even read this article you're complaining about.
unidentified
I mean, especially since this one is just such a huge win for Alex.
jordan holmes
Alex could be like, even the New York Times understands that people like Alex Jones should be listened to.
dan friesen
I bet that will be eventually.
jordan holmes
Yeah, probably.
I mean, yeah, that one really pissed me off.
I'm really, really mad at that one.
dan friesen
Understandable.
jordan holmes
I wanted to say mean things.
dan friesen
So Alex has a guest coming up towards the end of the show, and I think like...
In terms of the sort of person you would want to come speak on the sort of topics that he's covering, I mean, it's just, this is a slam dunk.
alex jones
We also have an economist and researcher and stock picker who's been at the tip of the spear exposing the depopulation agenda, watching the markets.
jordan holmes
The stock picker?
alex jones
I have Mr. Dow joining us in the third hour to talk about Daily Mail articles and others released by the government in the UK.
Hospitals bribed to put patients on path to death to kill people.
Cash incentives for NHS trust that meets targets on Liverpool care pathway.
That's why they ordered massive amounts of a euthanasia drug given in lethal injection in the U.S. to be given to hundreds of thousands of old people they killed.
If you give somebody a shot of it that has pneumonia, they always die.
What?
What fucking magic is that?
It's for the earth.
Gotta kill your dog.
Gotta kill your cat.
Gotta sterilize your son.
Got to kill the old people.
There's not enough resources.
You will own nothing.
You will have nothing.
Starting to figure out where we're going, folks.
dan friesen
So that headline that Alex is reading from the Daily Mail, hospitals bribed to put patients on pathway to death, that's not an article about COVID or anything current like he's reporting it.
It's from 2012, and the article is more complicated than what Alex is presenting.
This has to do with the NHS having targets of between one-third and two-thirds of the deaths that occur in a hospital being on what's known as the Liverpool Care Path.
and determined to be terminal cases, and it's essentially a way that doctors attempted to provide hospice-type care in a hospital setting.
Once a patient was deemed to be terminal, and there was no longer any treatment options, they would receive palliative care to relieve pain and such, but typically that patient would end up dying.
Right.
unidentified
This wasn't so much that the hospitals were killing these patients, as much as it was a case where end-of-life care was being done in a manner that seemed a bit detached and bureaucratic.
dan friesen
The fact that there was a target range of deaths that should involve the LCP, and the fact that funding was attached to being in line with these targets, it really gave the air of impropriety, even though no wrongdoing was necessarily being done.
jordan holmes
It's just people so divorced from the on-the-ground reality of it, they're just like looking at numbers.
So they don't feel...
dan friesen
A review found that when implemented well, the LCP is a good way to handle end-of-life care at a hospital setting.
And in fact, it appeared that the existence of the pathway made it much more clear to families of patients that their loved one was at the end of their life and allowed them to act accordingly.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
That said, when it wasn't implemented well, it was a sloppy process that could lead to some amount of negligence, and there were aspects of the pathway that were too difficult to formalize.
For instance, diagnosing when someone is at the end of life is an imprecise thing, so codifying rules of what qualifies...
It'll be difficult to do broadly.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
As such, the panel that reviewed the LCP advised phasing it out, which the NHS did in 2013.
jordan holmes
Oh, well, they got him.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
We got him, guys!
We did it!
Mission accomplished!
dan friesen
Alex is covering and sensationalizing a decade-old story, which is just tip-of-the-spear stuff.
It's nonsense.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
The rest of that stuff is just bullshit, ranging from transphobia to Alex mischaracterizing articles about how owning a pet is bad for the environment, mostly because of the dynamics involved in pet food production.
But you can see again, in returning to this drumbeat of the you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
He's said that a bunch in the past, but not as regularly as he is now.
And I suspect that he's seen the success that folks like Russell Brand have had with using that as a mantra, and Alex wants to signal to those audiences and try and say, hey, I'm doing it too.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
See, again, this is also like, what is it?
Buddhism.
Like, there's a whole organized school of thought around how having stuff is a bad move.
dan friesen
Wait, wait, isn't Russell Brand a Buddhist?
unidentified
I think he is!
jordan holmes
He's a fucking idiot!
unidentified
That's interesting.
jordan holmes
Of course!
dan friesen
Anyway, look.
jordan holmes
Detach yourself from the idea of not having things, alright?
Attach yourself to unattachable attachment things that you can't attach yourself to.
dan friesen
What?
I've been starting to think that maybe Russell Brand is somebody who deserves a little bit of attention.
Don't be too surprised if we do some episodes about him in the future.
jordan holmes
I just wasn't seeing that the guy from One Guy Ritchie movie was going to be...
dan friesen
You know what's nuts?
He probably has a larger audience than Alex at this point.
jordan holmes
Totally.
dan friesen
And he's still on mainstream platforms.
He's...
Doing some straight up Alex shit.
jordan holmes
Exact same stuff.
dan friesen
Not exactly the same.
There's some nuance to it that I think is important.
And I will get into that at a later date.
But like, I was taking a shower the other day.
I was thinking about it.
It's like, man, he's probably radicalizing a lot of people.
And I wonder, you know, it could lead to trouble.
And like, what if there's another January 6th and it's because Forgetting Sarah Marshall came out?
Because certainly get me to the Greek or whatever.
Get him to the Greek.
That wouldn't have launched his career.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, when you really think about it, we are dealing with a triumvirate of Alex Jones, Joe Brogan, and Russell Brand as three purveyors.
dan friesen
Tucker.
jordan holmes
Well, of course, Tucker.
dan friesen
Make it a square, baby.
unidentified
Tucker.
jordan holmes
But I mean, like, this is...
Bush League bullshit.
This is not good.
dan friesen
It's interesting, too, how they appeal to different sectors.
You have dyed-in-the-wool right-wing types.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Love the stuff they get from Tucker.
jordan holmes
Right-wingers who like to get high, like to go to Joe Rogan.
dan friesen
Well, Stoned could go either way with Rogan or Bran.
It depends if you're violent or not.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that is the difference, isn't it?
It really is.
Oh, my God.
They're all like a fucking choose your...
They build a character in A fucking RPG where you just adjust the stats a little bit and you come out with these two.
Fuck me.
God damn.
dan friesen
All I'm saying is Brand X wasn't really enough to merit a cult.
I mean, he was doing stuff in the UK before.
Obviously, he was already a comedian.
jordan holmes
No, he was a very, very famous comedian.
dan friesen
But not here.
jordan holmes
Nope, not here.
Nope, he got big here.
Oh boy.
dan friesen
Anyway, I've been thinking about him a bit.
So, the New World Order, right?
We know that the Nazis were trying to make one.
jordan holmes
Right.
So is H.G. Wells.
dan friesen
Right.
So we know that there are multiple New World Orders.
jordan holmes
So is Biden now.
dan friesen
News World Order.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
New World's Order.
jordan holmes
New World's...
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, Alex gets into how there's a bunch of New World Orders right now.
jordan holmes
What does that even mean?
dan friesen
You're going to find out.
jordan holmes
Oh, God.
alex jones
What does Biden mean?
When he announces the New World Order.
jordan holmes
Oh, thank you for explaining.
alex jones
Well, you've got China saying they lead the New World Order.
jordan holmes
Sure, that's one.
alex jones
You've got Putin saying he's starting a New World Order.
jordan holmes
That's two.
You like that one.
alex jones
And you've got Biden saying he's got a New World Order.
jordan holmes
That's three.
alex jones
And those are the three power blocks.
jordan holmes
What about two?
alex jones
The Chicoms, the Anglo-American establishment, and the Ruskies.
Then you've got Christendom that's all over the world of all groups and peoples.
The real plan through Christ to unify the world and not kill each other, whether you believe in Christ or not, it's...
Really?
unidentified
Really?
alex jones
destroy the planet.
Wow.
unidentified
Then you've got transhumanism that's already decided to kill most of the people and then have humans become a new species.
alex jones
And then you have the Chi-Coms that want their own China-centric, race-based fascism they call communism.
You got the Russians that just want to be left alone and have their new order.
jordan holmes
Really?
They want to be left alone.
unidentified
That's where we are.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's where we are.
I think Alex might still be high from that Caliweed.
unidentified
Wow.
dan friesen
This is nonsense.
jordan holmes
That is fucking insane.
dan friesen
It's meandering childish bigotry.
It's shocking and impressive.
jordan holmes
And it's crazy how all news world order don't include South America or Africa whatsoever.
dan friesen
Not important.
jordan holmes
Not important.
dan friesen
So here are the teams.
According to Alex.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
If you pay a tiny bit of attention, you might start to notice that some of these groups are characterized as good or bad.
So on the bad side, you've got China, who wants to create a racist, fascist New World Order.
jordan holmes
Right, which is completely different from what he wants.
dan friesen
Right.
Then you have the Anglo-American establishment, which is just code for the globalists, and we know that they work for the literal devil.
There's Islam, which apparently will lead to the destruction of the world.
jordan holmes
Why not?
dan friesen
And then there's transhumanism, who they want to create a whole new sort of human.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Just right off the top, you can tell that this was an improvised list that Alex was riffing, because transhumanism is not its own thing.
It's a facet of the globalists' plan.
According to everything Alex has ever said about this topic and globalists...
Transhumanism is an essential element of their whole scheme, where they're trying to merge with machines and become God.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He talks about it all the time.
jordan holmes
That's their goal.
dan friesen
It seems strange that he added them in as a distinct group, but I think he did that because he realized how clearly his Christian identity nationalism was coming through.
You know, he's like, oh, Christianity, good, Islam, bad.
Oh, also transhumanism, bad.
jordan holmes
How do we do that?
dan friesen
He's trying to throw that out as a distraction from that clear...
jordan holmes
I mean, but even then, we go right back to...
Christendom.
Who's left?
We've got China.
No.
We got America?
Globalists.
We got Islam?
No.
So who's our bastion of Christendom?
No, I doubt it.
dan friesen
So on the good side, you have Russia, who just wants to be left alone and have their own New World Order.
unidentified
Left alone!
dan friesen
And you have Christendom, which apparently is the true plan to unite humanity, according to unnamed mass psychologists, who Alex could definitely name if he wanted to.
This raises some really troubling questions, and I guess the first is, what does Alex mean by saying Russia wants to be left alone?
jordan holmes
Well, the best way to be left alone is to rule everything.
dan friesen
How does this work, man?
It's like, so far, Putin is killing tons of civilians in Ukraine, which doesn't seem like it furthers the goal of being left alone.
jordan holmes
No, I mean, it does.
That's the point.
That's the problem with every single person who's ever thought about the idea of an isolated nation in the current global structure, is that if you want to be an isolated nation, there can be no other nations.
So you either have the entire world, or everyone else is dead.
dan friesen
That's not a good plan.
jordan holmes
No!
dan friesen
So also, what Alex is suggesting with this whole thing about a mass psychologist saying that Christianity is the plan that would unite the world, what he's saying is that he wants to impose Christian theocracy on the world.
jordan holmes
There you go.
dan friesen
The tell there from Alex is that he says that Christendom is the real plan that will unite the world whether you believe in Christ or not.
jordan holmes
There you go.
dan friesen
He doesn't care if you believe in God or Christ or not, so long as he's able to assert power over you because he does, so long as you have to submit.
I can't hear things like this and not just think that Alex is losing even more of his grip.
And he's being a bit too overt with his desires.
Like, he wants to see a world characterized by Christian theocracy, and he sees Putin as the person who's most likely to usher that in, which probably explains a fair amount of his more recent content.
jordan holmes
I mean, you're just getting it all wrong, okay?
That's why we can't have Islam, because they want to impose a religious theocracy on us, even if you don't believe in that particular...
dan friesen
I feel like this even isn't in line with anything that Alex has said as big picture stuff and like the major players.
jordan holmes
No, not really.
dan friesen
Like, I guess his conception is that China is stopping working with the New World Order or whatever or with the globalists.
But Islam is still...
There's never been a break in terms of that.
He still thinks that the entirety of Islam works for the New World Order and the globalists.
jordan holmes
His conception of the world is so small.
dan friesen
It's true.
jordan holmes
There's just so little in his world.
dan friesen
That is true.
But I think it also is just made up.
jordan holmes
True.
And that's why, I mean, it has to be because...
dan friesen
He doesn't think about, like, the global south at all.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
And that's why they're not a part of it.
jordan holmes
They're just not a part of it.
dan friesen
Well, I guess he does only in as much as he likes Bolsonaro.
jordan holmes
He'll be a lieutenant.
He'll be a duke under Putin or whatever.
dan friesen
Alex talks a little bit more about this stuff, and then he gets, like, so defensive about how smart he is.
alex jones
But China is competing for the transhumanists.
System as well, but they're not following the neoliberal model of feminizing boys, sterilizing boys and girls, and destroying basic human civilization.
The Chikoms and the Russians have broken with that arm of the transhumanist system that seeks to fully end humanity, and they just believe they're going to merge and augment with the technology.
So that's the real debate going on.
jordan holmes
That's the real debate.
alex jones
If you were at a table with billionaires, at the table with Bilderberg Group members, and if you were having an adult discussion, that's what you'd be talking about.
Those are the type of discussions I've had with all sorts of groups.
Intelligence heads, Bilderberg Group members, people worth $50 billion, science division heads, heads of heart, heads of major programs.
I'm not trying to brag here, folks.
I've been doing this 28 years, and I really study this all day, so I get to be at the table, even though most of the globalists don't like me.
dan friesen
I get to be at the big boy table.
jordan holmes
Wow.
dan friesen
Anyone listening to this show actually believes that Alex is having adult conversations with anyone, and the conversations are about this bullshit?
I can kind of see how his supplements sell so well.
jordan holmes
You're not having an adult conversation with me right now.
You're having a child like, no, no, I'm allowed to go wherever.
I'm so smart.
I'm the smartest.
dan friesen
Alex isn't talking to anyone who's not insane themselves, and you can tell by the guests that he has on his show.
They're all lunatics, and most of them are lying about their credentials.
Alex had Steve Pachanik on his show for 20 years and never seriously asked himself if this dude was nuts and a liar.
If you were actually like a big serious person, you'd never associate with Alex because you can easily see the company that he keeps and how he behaves.
He's an untrustworthy idiot who's unpredictable, and he's surrounded by white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and parody-level con men.
Yeah.
unidentified
I do feel a certain amount of pity for anyone who could hear that and take it seriously, because...
dan friesen
This is just Alex's child brain lashing out again.
Yeah.
unidentified
He knows he doesn't deserve to be taken seriously, so he's creating a comical explanation for how seriously he's taken by imaginary bigwigs that totally exist, and they probably hang out with mass psychologists.
jordan holmes
Listen, I know you aren't taking me seriously, but these billionaires that Oh boy.
dan friesen
All of them.
unidentified
All of them.
The most important people.
jordan holmes
The most important.
dan friesen
I am guessing that the person who runs Harp is probably just Nick Begich.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
We could probably pick out who all of those people are.
jordan holmes
Yeah, what's he basing his bullshit off of?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
What's the one person?
dan friesen
This is just an attempt to be seen by the audience in a certain way, because Alex knows that on the merits, he doesn't deserve to be treated like that or seen that way at all.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
At all.
unidentified
But!
jordan holmes
But!
dan friesen
Big news!
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
It's actually not big news.
jordan holmes
How big?
dan friesen
Alex could join the New World Order if he wanted to.
unidentified
Oh!
dan friesen
Not like you peons, you peasants listening.
jordan holmes
I mean, let him go.
Do it.
dan friesen
He can't do it, man.
jordan holmes
Come on, do it.
alex jones
I could join the New World Order?
jordan holmes
Do it.
alex jones
Just like that.
jordan holmes
Just fucking do it, man.
alex jones
Immune from the laws, immune from the system, and protect myself for a short period of time from what's coming, and lie to myself and say, I could go along with the great culling.
And this operation, and then my family will be safe.
You really think you'll be safe joining with this?
The few thousand of you that are actually in it, and the millions that serve it that think they're going to get a ticket to Valhalla?
To Elysium?
No.
It's a fraud.
It's a lie.
The life extension's a lie.
All of it's a fraud.
We are in a countdown to destroying the planet.
Here's a short compilation of just a few world leaders talking about the new world order and world government and what it means.
Here it is.
joe biden
You know, we are at an inflection point, I believe, in the world economy.
Not just the world economy, in the world.
It occurs every three or four generations.
As one of the top military people said to me in a secure meeting the other day, 60 million people died between 1900 and 1946.
and since then we established a liberal world order and that hadn't happened in a long while a lot of people died but nowhere near the chaos and now is a time when things are shifting there's going to be a new world order out there I wonder if joining the New World Order would make it so Alex wouldn't have to come up with embarrassing excuses to not have to go to a deposition in the case that he's already lost about defaming the families of murdered children.
dan friesen
If so, maybe he should try that because I don't know what other option he has left.
He's probably run out.
jordan holmes
I think I would love it if all of a sudden we came in to work one day and you're like, I have got an episode for you.
Here's your out of context drop.
alex jones
I've joined the New World Order!
jordan holmes
And then we go from there.
That's amazing stuff.
dan friesen
Sure.
I love that.
Or if Alex just starts wearing black and doing the too sweet all the time.
jordan holmes
Oh man, hell yeah.
dan friesen
Starts being like, faux light.
He gets the wrong New World Order that he's joined.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
He hangs out with Hulk Hogan, which he might do anyway.
jordan holmes
That is, yeah, well, you know, people who say the N-word gotta stick together.
dan friesen
Sure.
So that clip at the end was Biden's recent comment about the New World Order.
And I don't think that it sounds evil or nefarious at all.
This is that compilation that Alex mentioned earlier.
jordan holmes
See, I was worried about the compilation part of that.
dan friesen
So it's supposed to point these evil statements about the horror of the New World Order, but so far it sounds like someone describing how there's a change in the status quo that's happening as it relates to international power balances.
I'm going to go through each of these clips one by one in this compilation.
And the reason I'm doing this is because I need to drive home the point that the entire notion of this New World Order stuff being some kind of an actual evil conspiracy plot isn't based on anything other than manipulative optics.
That and historical antisemitism going back to things like the protocols, but a lot of manipulative optics too.
So here's the next clip, which is Biden again.
And this time it's from a 2013 speech he gave at the Annual Conference of the Export-Import Bank.
joe biden
The affirmative task we have now is to actually create a new world order.
dan friesen
Wow.
Got him.
It's interesting that Alex chose that clip, because if you actually listen to Biden's full speech, that's not the only time he says new world order.
Like, for instance, this is just from a little bit earlier in the speech.
joe biden
I understand better than almost anyone, you understand almost better than anyone, the sheer potential this global economy affords the United States of America.
And you are well aware of the challenges as well.
This is a familiar story.
In the post-war era, post-World War II era, we faced a slightly different set of challenges.
As the global economy re-emerged from the destructions of war, we knew that institutions and rules were needed to navigate through this new world order.
And because our parents and grandparents were wise and because they were committed, we did what we've always done best.
We exercised our global leadership.
dan friesen
Alex didn't use this clip, even though it does involve Biden saying New World Order, because to do so would undercut the point that Alex is trying to make.
To be fully honest, I'm sure Alex has never listened to this speech and has no idea where the clip is even from.
Someone just sent him a fear-mongering compilation or these pieces to his employees, put it together, and they played it, but the point is the same for whoever decided to include this clip, just ignoring the other one because it doesn't work.
If all you have is an out-of-context presentation of Biden saying that we need to build a new world order that could have come from any period of time and your brain can imagine that it's related to whatever you want to pretend it's related to, that only works out of context.
Conversely, if you hear the full speech and you see that he uses the words new world order to refer to the new world order that appeared in the aftermath of World War II, it makes it too clear that the new world order isn't a specific compound noun in this speech.
It's really just referring to the changing set of circumstances on the world stage, in this case in the field of economics and international trade, since he's speaking to the Export-Import Bank.
The inclusion of this example in the compilation is a strong indication that this isn't making a sincere point.
It's just an attempt to use the image of people saying New World Order and make that into an argument, which it's not.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I mean, what exactly are we going to wind up?
You know, it's not like we're eventually going to have our politicians all go like, so I think now that things are changing, we're going to be entering a new world, a novel global structure.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So the next one is an oldie but a goodie.
unidentified
We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations.
jordan holmes
A new world order.
Classic.
unidentified
A world where the rule of law, not the law of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations.
When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real chance at this new world order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the UN's founders.
dan friesen
So we talked about this in depth during the Endgame episodes, but this is George H.W. Bush announcing the beginning of the first Iraq war.
While announcing the war, it's no good.
No good!
That said, the use of the words New World Order in this speech are not nefarious.
If you read the full speech, it's very clear that this is a reference to the changing state of affairs between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
In fact, the line that's right before this in that speech, which is weirdly always cut out of these clips, is, quote, we have in this past year made great progress in ending the long era of conflict and Cold War.
Long story short, this was at the end of the Cold War in 1991, and that's what the term New World Order refers to.
The Old World Order was a state of standoff between the 2000s largest superpowers in the world who would be too occupied with fighting each other to engage with the UN and their larger peacekeeping mission.
And the UN would be too busy worrying about the US and the Soviet Union.
You're free to scoff and disagree with the idea that the UN and the Gulf War were great in terms of peacekeeping.
Please do.
But that doesn't change the fact that Bush was not talking about a shadowy cabal in world government.
He was talking about a changing status quo between the United States and Russia, which brought about the new order of the world.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
That's all that's going on there.
jordan holmes
It was a novel global structure thing.
dan friesen
You're not going to like this next one.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
unidentified
There's a need for a new world order, but it has different characteristics.
dan friesen
This is Kissinger, and I'm not going to spend any time defending him or his legacy, but this is a strange clip to use in this compilation.
This is from an interview he did with Charlie Rose in 2007, and if you just use a nine-second clip, it kind of conveys the message Alex is trying to pretend, it says, but this is misrepresenting the larger context.
If you just hear this clip, it sounds like Kissinger is saying that it will have different characteristics in different parts of the world and that it is implied to be the New World Order, understood to be a one-world government.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But that's not what he's saying.
Just prior to this clip, Rose is asking him about the Iraq War and if the way it was carried out should be understood as revealing the limits of American power and if given the considerations of so many regions in the world, like states in the Middle East, the rising power of China, was there a need for a New World Order?
Kissinger was saying yes, that there was a change in dynamics that was on the horizon but that it would play out differently in different parts of the world.
In terms of things Henry Kissinger has said, this is a fairly benign comment.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, you know, I hated Henry Kissinger a lot, and now they're doing that six-part series on Behind the Bastards.
Holy shit!
I didn't even know how much I hated that guy.
dan friesen
I'm guessing that if you were Alex, your doctor would advise you not to listen to that.
unidentified
Don't!
jordan holmes
No, I'm not doing good.
No, I listened to it in very short bursts.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
And not in public.
dan friesen
Our next clip, we get Bush again.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, he's a New World Order classic, you know?
dan friesen
I think I found one person who used the term more than him in this compilation, but he said it a lot.
unidentified
A world in which there is the very real prospect of a New World Order.
dan friesen
This was from another speech in 1991, a couple months after the other one.
This speech is mostly about declaring victory in Operation Desert Storm.
And honestly, I don't know why Alex didn't use a longer clip from this speech.
Or possibly, like, there's even more menacing instances of Bush saying New World Order in that speech.
jordan holmes
It's hard to listen to an entire speech, Dan.
dan friesen
Listen to this.
Wouldn't it be more impactful if Alex used this?
jordan holmes
Let's hear it.
unidentified
Even the new world order cannot guarantee an era of perpetual peace, but enduring peace must be our mission.
dan friesen
Personally, I think that sounds more ominous and like the sort of thing Alex could present as a threat.
Like, yeah, even if you let us have our way, there's still going to be violence and war.
jordan holmes
Yeah, CIA director becoming president saying that.
Nope, that's bad.
dan friesen
I'm going to guess the reason Alex uses the clips he does is because he's never actually watched or listened to any of the source material.
He's just using clips that other people have posted online and memes and shit.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
So here's the next one.
jordan holmes
All right.
unidentified
A new world is emerging.
It is a new world order with significantly different and radically new challenges.
dan friesen
So this is a little sliver of a speech that former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown gave in front of the Confederation of British Industry Conference.
It's unclear what year this is from, because conspiracy sites online claim that it's from 2007, but I found a transcript of the speech that he gave that year at the CBI, and it doesn't match this one.
So I have some doubts about that.
It's actually really frustrating, because the backdrop behind Brown is definitely from CBI.
But it's also not the backdrop that matches what the conference used in 2007, nor any of the years that I can find videos from.
I've been able to find Brown's speeches from other years that he was there, and none of them match this other, and it's a real pickle.
jordan holmes
Did you fucking find Brigadoon or something?
What is happening?
dan friesen
I looked through all of the videos.
jordan holmes
Don't tell me that you know what the backdrop looks like for each of the years.
dan friesen
Well, maybe not every year, but relevant years.
jordan holmes
No, that's the problem.
dan friesen
I did also look through...
All of the videos that are posted on C-SPAN include Gordon Brown in the description.
It's a mess.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
So this does exist.
There's a two-minute clip that this comes from that does exist as a YouTube snippet that was posted in 2007.
So I can be fairly certain that it wasn't...
Right.
But beyond that, I don't know what to say here.
jordan holmes
Well, fairly certain, barring space-time manipulation, which apparently might be occurring here.
dan friesen
You never know.
jordan holmes
It's true.
dan friesen
That said, Gordon Brown talked about the New World Order all the fucking time.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's the guy who was more than Bush.
jordan holmes
He loved...
dan friesen
If you read any of his speeches, he throws that shit around like it's going out of style.
Here's an excerpt from another one of his speeches from 2007, so you can see how nefarious and scary this stuff is.
Quote, This is why the theme of the conference is so timely, is to engage the citizens of our countries in discussing and then implementing with their active imagination the new policy program that ensures that the benefits of this emerging New World Order can be shared not just by some, but by all.
Terrifying.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's...
dan friesen
It chills.
jordan holmes
Yeah, man.
That H.W. one, that's real scary compared to all the rest of these.
Why?
dan friesen
So here's Kissinger again.
jordan holmes
Well, we got a new contender.
unidentified
His task will be to develop an overall strategy for America in this period when really a new world order can be created.
It's a great opportunity.
It isn't just a crisis.
dan friesen
So this one is him on a show called Squawks on Stocks, where he's being interviewed on the stock market floor.
It's like the anniversary of him going to China, I think.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
So there's a reason for him to be there, but it's very weird.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
One thing I want to point out is that if you watch this full interview, it's fucking insane.
The interviewer is discussing the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Palestine, and she asks if it's all going to stop after Obama gets inaugurated for his first term.
She is straight up asking if the fighting in Gaza is something that's being orchestrated by Obama for political gain.
And this is on CNBC.
jordan holmes
Wow.
dan friesen
Obviously, fuck Kissinger, but this interviewer is not looking great.
jordan holmes
That is crazy.
dan friesen
Yeah, I was listening to her like, what?
And the people around?
Because there's other people standing around looking at her.
jordan holmes
Okay, good.
Somebody reacted.
It wasn't just like, this is a totally normal question that we could ask.
dan friesen
They do let her ask another question, but there is a definite look on a couple faces that's subtly like, what the hell?
jordan holmes
Excuse me, Mr. Kissinger, real quick.
Amazing record, by the way.
Are the Jews orchestrating this to elect Barack Obama president?
Just real quick, off the top of your head.
dan friesen
It's uncomfortable.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So this clip comes after Kissinger is asked a strange question about what country's relationship with the United States will...
It's such a weird question that I'm just going to play it and Kissinger's response so you can sort of get the full context.
unidentified
What do you think the most important thing is for Barack Obama?
Obviously, you're here to talk about the anniversary for U.S.-China diplomatic relations, but if you had to say this is going to be the country or the conflict or the place that will define the Obama administration, what would it be?
The president-elect is coming into office at the moment when there are upheavals in many parts of the world simultaneously.
You have India, Pakistan, and you have the free-hearted movement.
So he can't really say that it's one problem, that it's the most important one.
But he can give a new impetus to American foreign policy partly because the reception of him is so extraordinary around the world.
I think his task will be to develop an overall strategy for America in this period when really a new world order can be created.
It's a great opportunity.
It isn't such a crisis.
dan friesen
When you hear the question he's responding to in the full answer, the context of this comment makes way more sense.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Depriving it of that context is really the only way this works is making it seem some kind of ominous, spooky, scary comment in this compilation.
unidentified
Yeah, it's not like you said, if I had that...
I could have committed a lot more genocides.
dan friesen
You know what?
You are Alex Jones-ian in your impression work.
jordan holmes
I'm not doing good work today.
This has been a bad one for me.
I've never done a Kissinger before.
I gave it a shot.
Listen, try things.
dan friesen
No one's accusing you of being the man of a million voices.
jordan holmes
I am not accused of that by anyone.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
So this next clip is...
I feel like it's warmer.
It's not good, eventually, once we discuss why.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
But at the surface level, it appears a lot warmer.
unidentified
2009 is also the first year of global governance with the establishment of the G20 in the middle of the financial crisis.
The Climate Conference in Copenhagen is another step towards the global management of our planet.
dan friesen
So this is a clip from a speech that Herman von Rumpi gave after he was elected as the first president of the European Council.
Prior to this point, there was a six-month rotation of presidents where whichever country was president of the EU for that six-month chunk, they also held the ceremonial position of president of the council.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
They decided to go a different way with that in 2009.
So Rumpi got, von Rumpi got elected.
jordan holmes
Oh, good for von.
dan friesen
Von Rumpy isn't talking about global government per se, and he didn't even say New World Order in that clip.
He's talking about international cooperation that was prompted by the worldwide economic crash of 2007-2008.
When he says that the G20 was formed in 2009, that's not accurate.
It was formed in 1999, but in 2008, in response to the global financial crisis, they decided that they should have annual meetings and that they would be the body where the primary economic cooperation conversations happened.
Prior to this, that was mostly the role of the G8, but in the wake of the financial crisis, people recognized that there were other countries.
jordan holmes
And you done fucked up bigger time.
dan friesen
Yeah, the interconnectedness of world...
Economies had more important actors in it than just those eight.
The reason that Rumpy says that this is the first year of global governance is because the EU isn't a member of the G8.
Individual EU states are members, but the body itself is not.
Conversely, the EU is a member of the G20.
What Rumpy is saying is not that this is the first year of global governance, it's that the forum where international economic cooperation conversations happen is now the body that the EU, which he was just elected president of, is included in.
This one, it sounds the closest to making Alex's point, but if you know a little bit about the situation and the context of what Rumpy is saying, this clip doesn't say what Alex is presenting it as saying at all.
It's not talking about a new global government.
jordan holmes
You know what?
I'm going to say this right now, and I've got strong opinions about it.
I think that maybe short compilation videos aren't how you should learn about history.
dan friesen
No, but...
Good for slam dunks.
jordan holmes
Yes, that's true.
Amazing for slam dunks.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Rex Chapman.
dan friesen
Don't bring him up.
jordan holmes
Oh, I know.
dan friesen
I feel like he's a better dunker than a tweeter.
jordan holmes
He was.
I would say, I don't know how his dunks are now.
dan friesen
So disappointing.
Yeah, so we have one last clip that's within this compilation, and then Alex comes in with sort of a coda.
unidentified
Are you optimistic a global system can happen?
dan friesen
From what we've heard so far.
george soros
It could happen, and in fact it's in the work.
alex jones
And they use that plan to create crises, to consolidate control, to bankrupt you, to make you poor in steps until you can be starved to death and killed.
Sure.
You will own nothing, you will have nothing, you will like it because you will be dead.
dan friesen
So we have Soros on some interview show saying that a global system is in the works with absolutely no context about what's being discussed.
I think at this point you can see the game that's being played here and how all of these clips are meant to come at you fast and without any surrounding context.
If you're overwhelmed by what appears to be a ton of powerful people saying that there's a New World Order afoot and then Alex comes back in the studio and says that this is their plan to kill you, you might just accept him at his word.
However, if you, like conspiracy theorists love to say, do your research and take a little bit of time to ask the question of where these clips came from and what's the context, you'll easily see that the conclusion Alex tacks on there at the end about this being a plan to kill you is laughable.
This compilation doesn't establish or build to this conclusion at all.
It's just smoke and mirrors, because that's all this shit is.
And where was Klaus Schwab?
He wasn't in there at all.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
And again, you can see the drumbeat of you will own nothing and you'll be happy, that mantra.
You can see it.
It's just simple anchoring.
jordan holmes
So annoying.
dan friesen
Repeating this phrase like he does is meant to lodge it in the audience's mind and connect it to other ideas like they want to kill you.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
That's just subconscious manipulation that he's doing.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
Real, real bad.
jordan holmes
It is, yeah.
I really, really despise those types of slogans.
Because you know that they're just, like, they're what you hear before the boot stomps on your face.
Like, that kind of shit.
Like, they're taking everything away from us right before they shoot you.
Before I die, I have to say, wait, one second, you realize the eye, and then I'm dead.
dan friesen
The problem with it, too, is that, like, obviously it did come from...
Economic Forum video that they put out.
Like, it is a caption that's on there.
Sure.
unidentified
So it's their fault that they did this.
jordan holmes
Yeah, well, of course.
dan friesen
But the actual context of it is being abused and misrepresented.
And I just hate...
I mean, obviously, you can't always be playing defense, like, against what conspiracy theorists are going to use your content for.
But something like that, I feel like maybe...
unidentified
Maybe...
jordan holmes
Saying New World Order is an own goal, okay?
You don't always have to be playing defense, but don't kick the ball into your own fucking goal.
dan friesen
I kind of disagree, because as evidenced by you trying to come up with words that would replace it...
jordan holmes
Novel global structure?
I think that works.
I'm gonna use that one from now on.
dan friesen
That's not as bad as it could be, but it's still...
jordan holmes
It could be worse.
dan friesen
New World Order does sound better.
jordan holmes
It does.
It's got a ring to it, but that's only because we've seen it in so many conspiracy videos and movies and all that shit before.
dan friesen
And because of Scott Hall.
jordan holmes
It's a repeated...
It's repeated in our...
It's just like where they take all your stuff and you'll have nothing and they'll like it.
That's the phrase they say.
dan friesen
You talking about the devil?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So here's just some random rambling.
alex jones
Let me tell you, when I go to a liberal area of Austin or L.A. or San Francisco or Seattle or New York, I don't drive by and look at the ghostly-looking people, the ghoulish eyes, how unalive they are, how stupid they are, how weak they are, how scared they are, and feel powerful myself.
It makes me feel weak to see my fellow humans in that condition.
But for the globalists, when they see the homeless shelters and the needles and the trendies offering their children up to pedophile story time, They feel powerful.
They've broken your life force and broken your will.
But by just opening up to God and saying, save me, help me, take me to the infinite.
I want to be good and strong.
I believe in goodness.
You will begin to elevate your spirit, literally electrochemically, it will manifest into a higher vibration.
That's not new age.
That's science, folks.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
That's science.
So this is something that can be replicated in repeated studies.
jordan holmes
If I understand correctly, science says that if you drop down on your knees and accept Jesus Christ into your heart, then you will, of course, begin to accelerate to a higher plane on a different vibration.
Science says that.
dan friesen
Science.
jordan holmes
It's science, Dan!
Vibration.
It's not new age.
dan friesen
These are the conversations that they're having at the big boy table.
jordan holmes
Billionaires everywhere!
This is an adult conversation.
Cool.
dan friesen
So, we get to the bug eating.
jordan holmes
I do so love when we bookend something to the point where I've completely forgotten about it by the end of the show.
dan friesen
Half the goal.
jordan holmes
Half the fun.
You love it.
dan friesen
You fucking love it.
alex jones
These aren't the good guys.
But they know that we manifest what we believe in.
So they tell us, you own nothing.
You have nothing.
You're a failure.
You're ugly.
You're going to eat bugs.
And you get used to that.
Your mind starts becoming comfortable with it.
Instead of, I will not eat your bugs.
And I will have children.
And we will colonize space.
And we will transcend your new world order.
And God is real.
And you are not God.
And we are not under your control.
We are under God's control.
And we choose liberty and justice and freedom.
Incredible.
We're going to go to break.
I want to encourage listeners to understand that.
The heat of the battle for InfoWars is here.
Plus, we have great products.
If you're ever going to buy a book, a film, a t-shirt, it's now the time.
We're selling out of t-shirts, even at below cost, some of them, at 75% off, because we've got to get all the funds in we can right now with some underages we have.
So 25% to 75% off on things like VasoBeats that are back in stock.
unidentified
Yeesh.
jordan holmes
You know who else said that you'll have nothing and you'll be happy about it?
Marie Kondo.
dan friesen
Oh, is that right?
I would say that if this is accurate at all, what Alex is talking about, things are looking real bad.
Things are real bad.
If he's selling out things at prices that are under cost because he can't make operating expenses, the goose is basically cooked.
I guess he could sell out all his shit and then maybe he puts a band-aid on things for a bit, but...
This problem isn't going to go away, because ultimately this propaganda platform is a model that's doomed to fail.
Actually, Alex's propaganda platform is a great example of how sometimes growth can be bad.
If he'd stayed humble and kept things in the mid-range, like where he was in 2008 or 2012, yelling about how Ron Paul should have won the primary and showing up at places with a bullhorn every once in a while...
He could have been comfortable to Rich probably for the rest of his life, and he would have been able to continue to pretend to fight an info war against imaginary enemies.
The growth is what's killing Alex.
It's the overhead and the expenses and the worthless employees on his payroll.
A propagandist doesn't need that kind of hassles.
A propagandist is born to run free, bullhorn in hand, making up shit about books he's never read.
This, a man selling his wares at a loss just so he can afford to pay a dork like Harrison Smith to host a pointless show to pad out the content he's putting out, that's a debasement.
That is no good.
This is not how God intended a propagandist to live.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
Also, something in that clip stuck out to me where Alex said, we're not under your control, we're under God's control, and we choose liberty and justice and freedom.
That thought is completely nonsensical.
How does one choose freedom if they're under a deity's control?
If you're under someone's control, that means you don't have free will, and thus you can't choose anything, let alone choosing to be free, which is a confounding idea.
But of course, Alex believes that God is a free will kind of God, so maybe being under his control is to have free will.
But in that case, what does it even mean to have free will?
Pretty much nothing.
That would tend to imply that people who aren't under God's control don't have free will, but then how can they possibly be condemned for the fact that they're not under God's control?
They can't choose to be under God's control.
They have no free will.
jordan holmes
I just don't think you understand.
Okay, Dan?
When God created the universe, he also created the end of the universe simultaneously.
He knows everything that begins and ends.
He knows everything that will happen.
And that means that you have the ability to choose what's going to happen.
dan friesen
Can I actually tell you, I read this really great book about free will and determinism recently.
It was called Knowing, starring Nicolas Cage.
jordan holmes
Which I have some continuity.
dan friesen
So Alex gets a little bit worked up because he thinks that the globalists want you to kill your pets.
jordan holmes
Oh no!
That's the first time that I've believed the globalists!
alex jones
Or maybe I've just been wrong.
Maybe I should submit and maybe we should all go out today with hatchets and kill our dogs in the backyards and our cats.
Because it's to save the earth, right?
We're supposed to give up everything we've got because we're bad.
We're guilty because we have dogs and cats.
We're guilty because we have children.
We're evil.
But none of that's even true.
It's all a greedy group of monsters that want you to learn to hate yourself so you roll over into the ditch of history so they can steal the future.
They're projecting their globalist hatred of themselves onto you and I. All the beautiful, nice things they have and the science they have came from the commoners, came from the people.
We built all this.
And now they've got their robots coming online and they say they don't need us anymore and we're supposed to just hate ourselves and go commit collective suicide.
Well, guess what?
It's not going to happen.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
Or maybe it should happen.
Maybe.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe I am the bad guy, like the media says.
Maybe because I don't want to kill my new puppy, I'm the bad guy.
Maybe I should kill the puppy.
I want to apologize to the United Nations.
jordan holmes
What the fuck just happened?
alex jones
In the World Economic Forum, I want to apologize to Bloomberg, the billionaire owner of Bloomberg, and the publication, and the BBC, and all the other groups that came out yesterday and said we should kill our dogs and cats to save the earth and to cut our carbon footprint and to stop Vladimir Putin.
They actually said that, and I came out against that and was wrong.
dan friesen
I have never seen this level of preparation on Alex's show.
The idea that he's in the middle of what appears to be a rant about something and then it throws to a video about the same subject that he did in advance, like he prepared this, that's...
I mean, it's...
Really a low bar, but it's impressive for him.
jordan holmes
Here's what I thought.
dan friesen
You almost fell out of your chair.
jordan holmes
100% thought it was a complete accident.
Somebody had accidentally overlaid the broadcast with an old video or something, or maybe they'd run out of the five-second delay after he started talking about killing pets, and then it got real weird, and they just cut away?
dan friesen
No, this was on purpose?
jordan holmes
Wow.
dan friesen
Impressive.
28 years into his career, he's figured this out.
jordan holmes
Not once did that thought occur to me independently.
dan friesen
I'm not positive about this, because I've listened to so much of his show, but I don't think I've ever seen anything that coherent.
In terms of a pre-recorded piece, maybe once.
I'd afford possibly once.
jordan holmes
You know, it is good to show some real growth.
You know, at the end of your career, it's a good time to really still show that you can learn new tricks.
dan friesen
This would be like, if you saw this on a local access thing, you'd be like, well, see?
But that was what he was doing 28 years ago.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So that's a bizarre clip there, beyond just these reasons.
There's two features that look really bad when there's further context than you understand, Alex.
Just off the top, though, Bloomberg and all these papers didn't say that you should kill your pets.
There was an op-ed in Bloomberg that was a bit tone-deaf, perhaps, but it was just about ways that people could deal with inflation.
It wasn't even about, like, it's bad for the earth or anything, although that is a topic that has been written about in the past, like, going back a ways, the carbon footprint of pet ownership.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
So one of the main problems about this Bloomberg thing, though, is that it was addressed to people who make less than $300,000 a year.
So just from that premise, It's going to piss some people off.
And they did get dunked on.
jordan holmes
I am shocked that people would hear from Bloomberg.com things that maybe are tone-deaf towards the pores.
dan friesen
So in the tweet, it said that you should replace meat with lentils, but the article actually just said it suggested meat substitutes, like vegetables, lentils, or beans.
So you can see that there's just essential...
Detail that's missing from the tweet, which is natural.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So another suggestion that's in the article is to, quote, rethink those costly pet medical needs.
This wasn't saying that you should kill your pet or that you shouldn't take your pet to the vet, but that some expenses related to pets might not be good expenses.
The next line in the article is, quote, it may sound harsh, but researchers actually don't recommend pet chemotherapy, which can cost up to $10,000 for ethical reasons.
Even though this article sucks and it was rightly commented on by Twitter, it's really obvious that Alex is creating a fake version of it to get mad at, saying that they're telling you to kill your pets.
Now, the two things that are problematic about this clip are, one, Alex is supposed to be in the grips of some really serious emergency situation with his health, and he has to avoid any stress.
But here he is on air, getting himself worked up, whether genuinely or as a performance, which would be pretty bad for his blood pressure.
jordan holmes
He should probably calm down.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And two, Alex has a rich history about talking about killing dogs.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
On way more than one occasion in the past, he's gone on and on about how he's killed dogs.
So I don't know.
He's actually the best messenger for this right-wing fake outrage about this article.
I think it kind of makes his supposed comedy piece he cuts there at the end a little bit less impactful.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
The satire of that piece is supposed to be that it's outlandish to imagine Alex killing his pet, but it's not.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
He's talked about doing that very thing a bunch in the past.
I don't know.
It hits differently, as the kids say.
jordan holmes
It is kind of like him being like, what kind of psychopath would talk about killing their dog?
dan friesen
Cut to.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
It's like, what are we doing, man?
dan friesen
I had to stomp on this dog's head.
jordan holmes
I've never thought about things for more than a second.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's a total mess.
jordan holmes
Insane.
dan friesen
So, look, the second hour, there's a lot of time spent with Alex interviewing his former employee, Savannah Hernandez.
Here's what happened.
She got kicked off Twitter after posting some videos of her interviewing people about how unfair it is that Leah Thomas is allowed to compete in women's swimming.
jordan holmes
Oh, she was doing some transphobia.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Gotcha.
dan friesen
But as it turns out, she wasn't actually kicked off for the video.
She was kicked off for creating a new account to evade a previous ban, and the way that her new video went viral in the right-wing media, it brought her ban evasion to Twitter's attention, so her new account got banned.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
She was originally kicked off in 2020 for election-related misinformation.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Anyway, she's gone on to become a personality and a producer at The Blaze, which is probably really smart for her career.
It's still a dead end.
But at the very least, Glenn Beck isn't selling products at below cost in order to squeeze out a couple more months on air.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
I'm not going to cover her interview because, honestly, I don't care.
I'm just going to play this one clip because I think it really illustrates how little Alex does.
Like, he doesn't even know what he's talking about.
alex jones
Savannah Hernandez will be joining us at the bottom of the hour to break down some really huge news.
One of the swimmers that filed a complaint that she didn't like a man.
Literally a foot plus taller than the other women being able to take over and win.
Well, she's been suspended off Twitter and Savannah got an interview before that even happened with her that got her, I guess, suspended or speaking out got her suspended.
What a world, man!
dan friesen
So he's got multiple aspects of this story wrong.
The first is that the interview Savannah did was not with someone who filed the complaint.
It was just a person who had some slightly critical comments about Thomas, and her complaint seemed to be about how her friend didn't make finals, and I guess that she would have if Thomas hadn't been swimming.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
I don't recommend pursuing this line of thinking to its logical conclusion because it doesn't go anywhere good.
The second thing that Alex has wrong here is that the person Savannah was interviewing didn't get kicked off Twitter.
Savannah did.
This is the entire reason this is a story and why Alex would be having Savannah on.
Anyway, like I said and you said, this interview is just transphobia.
That's...
Pure.
That's all that's going on here.
It's basically concern trolling, too, where these folks attempt to mask their underlying intense bigotry behind a pretend sincere concern about women swimming.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Get the fuck out of here.
jordan holmes
I mean, it's so fucking bullshit.
How dare you?
How fucking...
I mean, not just that, but simply because, like...
Bill Burr made the transphobic joke that everybody's been dining out on on the far right like ten years ago in one of his specials.
And it was done in a completely different context to make it look like he's the idiot for having this kind of thought process whatsoever.
But, fuck it.
They're just gonna do the same fucking bullshit because it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter what it is.
If it's not sports, it's...
They shouldn't be in the bathrooms.
If it's not the bathrooms, they shouldn't be in the same restaurants.
It doesn't fucking matter.
It's just that they exist.
dan friesen
I agree.
jordan holmes
It's infuriating.
dan friesen
Yep, it sucks.
So if you're somebody who's had his lawyer contact court and say that you have a serious emergency medical condition...
I would say you probably wouldn't want to then go to work and do a ridiculous pageant of a show the next day, right?
Maybe.
And definitely, if you did do that, you probably wouldn't want to say on air that you're going to come back and do another show that evening.
jordan holmes
Yes, that would be bad.
alex jones
This is definitely real.
This is all out in the open.
The New World Order is out in the open.
We're going to have a special live InfoWars broadcast tonight from at least 7 to 9. Commercial-free to take phone calls on the Great Reset, on the New World Order, and on what you think we should do as callers.
To stop this, it'll be Infowars.com streams.
dan friesen
I don't know if he actually ended up following through with that, but I would just not have done that, probably.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, if the next clip is him saying, like, never felt better in my life.
This is as good as it gets for me.
unidentified
I feel like I've lost, like, five pounds in the past couple of days.
jordan holmes
Like, what are we talking about?
dan friesen
I was kind of hoping that there would be some clip of him trying to sell his supplements.
unidentified
Look at how great I feel because I took this one supplement.
jordan holmes
Yeah, of course.
dan friesen
I thought that would be ironic.
jordan holmes
That would be great.
dan friesen
So we have one last clip, and it's because Alex, for the third hour, does interview that economist stock picker guy.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
And I just...
He sucks.
I don't even care.
Here's just a clip of Alex getting into the interview.
alex jones
They're publicly announcing the NIH, what we already knew but now admitted...
Paid to have them give people these assisted suicide drugs that they bought a bunch of right before the pandemic record levels.
And we know the same thing here.
Give them morphine.
Don't give them treatment.
Watch them die.
But to read this, here's the headline.
Hospitals bribed to put patients on pathway to death.
Cash incentives by the National Health Service Trust that meet targets on Liverpool Care Pathway.
dan friesen
The third hour is him doing this interview with the stock trader Edward Dowd, who seems completely insane.
He's on to talk about how the government's killing everyone with COVID vaccines and what have you.
Alex's central piece of evidence in covering this story seems to be this article about the Liverpool care pathway, which Alex is pretending is a current story and has to do with the pandemic.
He obviously forgot to check the date on the article he's reading.
He didn't look into this at all, so he has no idea it's a decade-old story and that the LCP was phased out in 2013.
I don't know how else to put this.
This shit's embarrassing.
If Alex cared at all about the quality of the work he's doing, realizing that he fucked this up that bad should be a huge issue for him.
He should do a big segment on the next episode about how important it is to check dates on stories and how he had it wrong and that they weren't giving people assisted suicide drugs.
But Alex doesn't have to do any of that.
His audience accepts whatever trash he gives them.
There's no incentive to do better than trash.
And that's what this is.
jordan holmes
It's trash.
Absolute trash.
dan friesen
This show is, at the present day, more or less a combination of extreme...
I think I say this a bit, but it bears repeating.
There's no value in the existence of InfoWars as a piece of the information landscape.
It's full on completely negative in terms of what it brings to society.
And like, you know, you think about just sort of like the position that I came from early on doing the show.
Yeah.
unidentified
I think that I had a position that was far more like there is a place for something like Alex in the world.
dan friesen
And I still kind of believe that that's true.
There's a place for skeptical voice, but that's not what this is.
jordan holmes
There's a world where an Alex Jones performance...
Is appreciated because it is not having any effect on people's actual lives.
We're in the unfortunate world where the performance is very much hurtful.
dan friesen
I would take issue with how you phrased that.
I disagree slightly.
Because I don't think that even in a different organized world, this has value.
jordan holmes
Oh, no, no, absolutely not this.
dan friesen
I think that there is a model of somebody who can be generally wrong, but asking...
Sure.
That does have a societal value.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And that's the position that I kind of felt like this is the idea of Alex.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And it's not.
jordan holmes
Well, what he should be is the buffoon.
The buffoon.
The architect.
The jester.
No, no, no.
Just that fucking idiot who sometimes says something and you're like, oh.
Instead of being the idiot who says nonstop.
Bigot stuff.
dan friesen
Well, yeah, what if the buffoon is a hateful bigot and then also says that they're right all the time and tries to sell you shit?
jordan holmes
There's no place in the world for that.
Not even in the media landscape.
I mean, just in the world.
dan friesen
I think what I'm trying to get at, what I'm trying to stress, is that there may have been a time when listening to Alex Jones could give you Maybe.01 value.
jordan holmes
.01 info units.
dan friesen
Compared to reading a news story, which might be like one info unit.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, right.
I like the system we're developing.
dan friesen
You get trace amounts of info units.
jordan holmes
We've developed the metric system for media.
dan friesen
Now it might be in the negatives.
jordan holmes
It is negative 10 info units.
dan friesen
You lose information.
unidentified
You die slower or faster.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
dan friesen
Anyway, I'm interested to see where his health situation goes.
I'm interested to see some of these other court cases, what develops with them.
And whether he's back in studio on Friday.
jordan holmes
We'll see.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Any outcome is possible at this point.
dan friesen
It'd be so funny if he shows up in studio on Friday.
jordan holmes
Of course he is.
dan friesen
On a treadmill.
jordan holmes
He's got to show up.
unidentified
I think it'd be better if he shows up at a stretcher.
jordan holmes
Wheel him in.
Have him do the whole show laying down.
That's the way you do it.
dan friesen
One way or another, I demand pageantry.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
And we will not get it.
But we'll be back on Monday.
jordan holmes
Yes, we will.
dan friesen
And until then, Jordan, we have a website.
jordan holmes
We do.
It's knowledgefight.com.
dan friesen
Yep.
We're also on Twitter.
jordan holmes
We are on Twitter.
It's at knowledge underscore fight and at go to bed Jordan.
dan friesen
Yep.
Ah, shit.
I feel like I can't say Dr. Marbles anymore since Dr. Marbles is now...
I thought he was going to be someone who showed up and then disappeared and would just be a funny name.
jordan holmes
Nope.
Now he's an international man of peace.
dan friesen
Oh, well.
Back to the oldie but a goodie.
We'll be back.
But until then, I'm Neo.
I'm Leo.
I'm DZX Clark.
I'm Daryl Rundis.
jordan holmes
And now...
steve quayle
Here comes the sex robot.
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
jordan holmes
I'm a first-time caller.
unidentified
I'm a huge fan.
