In Knowledge Fight’s breakdown of Alex Jones’ July 31–August 1, 2003 episode, Dan Friesen and Jordan Holmes expose his recurring patterns: conflating a Marriott bathroom camera incident with government "mass extermination" schemes, despite no evidence, while dismissing caller concerns about thumb-scanning groceries as baseless fearmongering. Jones’ wild claims—like Stalin plotting to kill John Wayne (from debunked conspiracy biographies) or DARPA mind-control documents left unclaimed—reveal his reliance on unverified narratives and fringe sources like Alfred Adsek’s Suspicious magazine, which peddles homophobic and theocratic conspiracy theories. His misogynistic rants about Kobe Bryant’s accuser, framed as "patriotic" outrage, underscore how personal attacks often overshadow actual issues in his worldview, while his shifting rhetoric suggests a growing disregard for inciting violence. The episode highlights Jones’ long-standing habit of cherry-picking absurdity over substance, leaving listeners to question whether his warnings are genuine or just performative chaos.

I find that really difficult to get motivated for.
And I really do think that maybe a more productive use of our time is analyzing and looking at some of this stuff in the past and recognizing how it implicates and actually provides greater context for this stuff.
I have never considered the possibility that you could just go up to somebody and say, I've failed you, and then move on as though nothing ever happened and there's no problem.
So I know kind of what he's saying, because he's said stuff like this before, which is that if you don't, like, take an active participation in the info war, then his show, what it's doing is acclimating you to these horrible things that the globalists are doing so you'll think that they're normal and you won't fight back against them.
It's like the...
The pot getting a little warmer with the frog in it.
Sure, sure, sure.
Alex is serving that purpose unless you're active in some way.
Yeah, I don't know what those parameters are, but I was really interested because I think that there's a, like, if there is a recognition that Alex is like, all right.
There are these 3D glasses that you have to view this through or else it looks like a jumbled mess.
And it'll make the 20 million they killed in Nazi Germany, and the 50 million Stalin killed, and the 50 million Mao killed, and the 2 million Pol Pot killed, and the hundreds of thousands that...
So a point that I really want to stress in my coverage of these episodes from the past, and a big part of the reason why I think they're important to discuss, is that Doom is always right around the corner.
Alex is no different than any of these Doomsday preachers who try to rile up their congregation with claims that the end is near only to be wrong, and then do the whole thing over again a little bit later, pretending the first time didn't happen.
When we hear Alex and the people like him in the right-wing media and parts of our government playing this game in the present day, It's important to understand that they're not serious.
In my head, all radio shows have to be based on some sort of creative desire or need to do something.
It never occurred to me that you could do a radio show, like go into a coal mine every morning, just being like, oh, putting my little hat on and clocking in.
The issue is that the courts were never deciding or even asked to decide if Marriott can put cameras in their bathrooms because that's not at issue here.
The presumption is that someone else, possibly an employee or possibly a past guest, had put the camera there and the suit was against the hotel because they didn't catch that.
And Brewer's privacy was violated.
Right.
Even when Alex is doing this absurd performance of being so overwhelmed by the name, Well, I mean, let me throw this at you.
They're going to build them in your big major cities, and the admitted plan is to prepare a bureaucracy for forced inoculations for dozens of bioweapons, so-called vaccines.
So the people that launched the bioattacks are now going to make it a new giant industry to forcibly inject you.
And they're building the giant bureaucracy to carry that out.
And the Houston Chronicle reported they're preparing the national draft of doctors who have refused to take the shot.
And so they're going to draft them and make them take it and then force them to give it to you.
This is the Houston Chronicle.
The top epidemiologists and others at major universities have refused to take it, saying that there are unknown, bizarre compounds involved in the injection.
So this is just a nice reminder that everything Alex is doing and has been doing with COVID is just a huge extension of the same propaganda game he plays with every vaccine that makes the news.
It's always a bioweapon, and the top epidemiologists at major prestigious universities have said so because of Bizarre compound or whatever.
By the way, I was back down at UT last night doing some shooting for a film I'm working on just because they've got some great background scenes, some great locations, and I'm there in a lab on perception in the psychology department.
I look down, and there are DARPA documents all over the place, mind control, you name it.
Of course, I got out of there.
I'm not going to go in there and get around such things.
I don't want to get near anything classified.
I don't want to know if it was classified, but just your little mind control stuff there.
What sort of mission of information warfare is he engaged in that he would find DARPA mind control documents and be like, oh, I don't want none of this.
Well, here in the U.S., they say in the 1998 plan, the National Seatbelt Initiative, that it's about funding internal checkpoints, that the toll roads are really just the funding mechanism for internal checkpoints.
And the satellite tracking system is to fund the police and military out searching your goods.
When you have to serve in national service, which they're about to pass, guaranteed after the next terror attack launched by the military industrial complex, you're going to have to serve until you're 65 out there on the road, one of the many duties, helping search the cars.
Alex guaranteed that after the next terror attack, which would be a false flag by the military industrial complex, citizens would be forced to do public service, searching people's vehicles at checkpoints until they're 65. None of that has even come close to happening.
And about a thousand different things have happened that Alex has called false flag terror attacks committed by the military industrial complex.
My point is that Alex is constantly wrong about everything he says, pretty much.
You know, he would be right if he was just like, you know, after that next terror attack, they're going to make you take your shoes off forever, even after you don't need to anymore.
But instead, he's predicting that you'll be forced to work on the side of the road searching cars until you're 65. That's a bigger swing.
Yep.
So also, Alex seems very concerned about seatbelt rules back in 2003.
He did become a little bit of a seatbelt snitch when he was harassing humanitarian volunteers near the border last year.
But his preoccupation in the past seems a little bit larger.
In this clip, Alex is rambling about how the government is going to put tracking chips into cars so they can tax you by the mile as you drive.
This is something we've discussed a bit in the past, as it was one of the proposals that was being discussed in terms of ways that states could recoup some of the money they were losing on gas taxes, since cars were using less gas.
That shortfall of gas tax revenue has serious consequences in terms of budgets that are needed to maintain the roads that these cars are driving on.
So the proposal is actually a pretty sensible one.
It makes intuitive sense.
Anyway, Alex is saying that the 1998 National Seatbelt Initiative was about funding internal checkpoints.
Naturally, this is not true.
Most of the document is about increasing the public's awareness of the benefits of wearing a seatbelt and framing the decision to not wear one appropriately.
This involves a focus on the issue as one that relates to your health, as well as making sure that the perception wasn't solely focused on traffic deaths, because a huge factor is the injuries that the accidents cause and expenses that people rack up, and public expenses for that matter.
Right.
Throughout the document, it's super clear that states are the ones who make traffic laws, and the president or Congress can express that they would like states to do more, but this is up to the states.
They do propose a four-part plan, and one of the parts is, quote, conduct high visibility enforcement of seatbelt laws.
As always, Alex is just making shit up to craft scary stories for his audience, but it's fun that it's, like, based on...
Bill Clinton being like, hey, people, we need to get more people wearing seatbelts because it's been empirically shown to save lives and cause less injuries and accidents.
Hey, look, there's been articles all over the country that the local mob bosses that run the governments, and I mean small towns, big cities, they pass the ordinance.
I mean, you'll have a cousin staying with you for a month while they're moving or something, and there's the police at your door, thousand dollar fines, but you can have a house with boiling illegals coming out the front door and nothing will be done.
Naturally, there is some guidance that's offered on the federal level through the Department of Housing and Urban Development, much of which goes back to a 1991 memo written by their general counsel, Frank Keating.
The memo largely is a discussion about how many people should be living in a dwelling based on how many bedrooms there are.
Keating concludes that the number is two, but also that's not a hard and fast number and that there's a ton of other factors to consider other than bedrooms.
Most of the reason that these regulations exist has to do with safety.
Overcrowding is not good from a health or some even structural reason, so it's typically avoided.
That said, if your cousin comes to live with you for a month, there is no way the cops are gonna show up unless your cousin was coming to live with you because he was on the run from the cops.
You might get into trouble with your landlord if you're violating your lease, but if it's your house, this just isn't a realistic scenario that's gonna happen.
This is just a way that Alex and this caller, people like them, can express their hatred of Mexican immigrants in a way that makes it feel socially acceptable.
It's the, like, they get away with it, but us upstanding white Americans get in trouble.
Like, it's a false premise rooted just in white victimhood.
Up in Illinois, it was in the Chicago Tribune that people wake up in bed at 7.30 in the morning with police and black ski masks with guns on them.
This is in Aliceville and other areas up there.
They say, we have to look and see how many toothbrushes you have, and if the house, privately owned, has three toothbrushes and there's only two people?
I believe in an America where people can have two toothbrushes.
Also, I think what's going on here is that Alex is thinking of maybe a TV show where someone realized they were being cheated on because there was an extra toothbrush.
Okay, well, I mean, there's Detroit Free Press saying, quote, our troops are trained to kill grandmothers.
We have the Rocky Mountain News saying mass graves and incinerators are ready for you and your family.
Actually says that.
We have the L.A. Times, Ashcroft's Hellish Camps, camps being built, execution centers for anyone committing a misdemeanor.
We have the East Coast, West Coast TV stations reporting with county commissioners announcing.
Dave Schultz, one of them we had on the show, about how the feds told him about how they wanted to use the national park as a mass camp for hundreds of thousands of people.
So what's going on here isn't actually too different from the situation we saw in our last episode, where a caller wanted Alex to say who Q was.
Alex was being asked for specific information, And instead of answering directly, he launches off into a rant about vague insinuations that get the caller no closer to having any real information.
They've got a core of technicians to bring in the New World Order, but to make sure they control the political process, one poses as the left puppet, one poses as the right puppet.
But if you want to know who owns the New World Order, it is the Dutch Roll family, British Roll family, the Rothschild banking family in this country, the Rockefeller banking family.
There's a few other families involved in it, but that's the top five.
Almost as if all these characters weren't as important to Alex in 2003, because at that point, the conspiracy community was still in the, it's all about the Rockefellers and Rothschilds phase.
Now, one of the things I think is kind of interesting, I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep last night, and I started to think about how much Alex is like...
Alex is impressively wrong about just about everything in that clip and it's really amazing how he's trying to present this as some kind of proof that he has this ability to analyze data that comes in from different strata of the media or whatever.
They make dozens and dozens or even 36 BSL-4 labs.
These aren't bioweapons labs.
They aren't super dangerous.
Port and Down didn't, they not only didn't admit that they released foot and mouth, they actually released a statement saying that they don't do any work with foot and mouth at that lab.
And they never said that people couldn't restock livestock.
There are just regulations in place where the outbreak needs to be contained, and then after the disease has been eradicated, you have to wait 21 days to restock your animals for safety.
That's what they said.
Everything Alex is telling his audience is basically made up.
It's astonishing to me, and I honestly don't think that you can be that wrong without trying.
I don't know if it's just that he constantly and only gets headlines from sources that are intentionally lying or he's intentionally lying, but I just don't.
So we have these bioweapons labs that are being built everywhere, and I just read earlier where a monkey escaped from one, and the Baltimore Sun has reported at these things they're producing thousands of gallons, thousands of gallons, thousands of gallons, thousands of gallons of weaponized Ebola.
It was a rhesus monkey that escaped from the California National Primate Research Center.
The reason this is at all relevant to the story Alex is covering is because that center is at UC Davis, and there was talk of building a $150 million biocontainment lab there, and the fact that the monkey escaped from their normal facilities made that investment look uncertain.
The headline for the story that Alex is covering is, quote, monkeys escape may sink biodefense lab.
So what's going on is that Alex read that headline and he's pretending that this means a monkey escaped from a biodefense lab because he just makes up the stuff that he reports to the audience.
Let me tell you, last night I'm down at one of the big UT departments because they have some cool hallways and places to shoot some video.
And I'm down there, and literally, I'm just by a workstation right out in the open area where the graduate students are, and there's DARPA mind control documents laying there.
And a researcher walks by, you know, it's like 12 o 'clock at night, I'm up working doing this, and shooting some video, and all of a sudden this researcher walks by and he goes, Alex Jones, we're big fans.
And I go, what's all the DARPA stuff?
He goes, well, most of our departments fight not to take DARPA, but...
The DARPA money, but they said DARPA's everything.
And it's all mind control.
It's a giant mind control facility.
It's lavish.
I mean, the place is gigantic.
And look, I'm just in the areas you're allowed to be in.
I failed the data transmission, but yeah, about three weeks ago, that article said that your major grocery stores within one year will be forcing you to thumb scan to buy and sell.
That was definitely the vibe I was getting from that call.
So we go to the first.
And there weren't a whole lot of clips of Alex being mad at sports on the last episode that I pulled because it honestly didn't really feel that important on the 31st.
You can get Colby Bryant all day long on other channels.
You can hear people call in and cry and moan because their sports hero didn't do too good.
Up at the plate, up on the mound.
I mean, I hear these guys call into shows and they're just, oh, it's so serious.
It's so important.
they detail the finest minutiae of baseball and football, but then you try to tell that joker about the Bill of Rights and what's happening to America, they'll laugh at you, but they'll get soaked.

concern when they call in on the sports show and they're so worried about everything.
So on July 28th, a couple days before this episode, Hannity and Combs featured an interview with Tom Likas, the notoriously disgusting radio host who's famous essentially just for being a chauvinist pile of shit.
He had decided he was going to out Kobe's accuser, which was the story that Hannity and Combs were covering.
From Hannity's intro to that interview.
Most news stations have a policy against naming sexual assault victims, so why did Los Angeles nationally syndicated radio talk show host Tom Likas feel compelled to identify Kobe Bryant's accuser?
He joins us from Los Angeles.
I don't think that Hannity and Combs ever had a person alleging to be Kobe's accuser on the show, but what seems to be going on here is that Alex is conflating this Lycus interview with another thing that was happening at the time, which is that people were circulating pictures of a woman that they were inaccurately claiming was the accuser.
And so I think that Alex has combined these two, imagined an interview, and is complaining about this person he didn't actually watch an interview with.
So this person will come up to me outside the restaurant and they'll say something to me and then I'll vest time trying to talk to them and they'll be like, I want to go play golf.
And then I go over to UT Austin and I find a lab that's got DARPA documents everywhere.
That's just a claim that was made in a biography of Wayne called John Wayne, the man behind the myth.
According to an article on Military.com, Wayne learned of this plot and, quote, Obviously not one to let a thing like communist assassins get him down, Wayne and his scriptwriter Jimmy Grant allegedly abducted the hitmen, took them to a beach, and staged a mock execution.
No one knows exactly what happened after that, but Wayne's friends said that those Soviet agents began to work for the FBI from that day on.
Also, apparently when Khrushchev took over power, I don't know how else to put this other than to say that this is a stupidly fake story being passed along in this biography, and it's really funny that Alex, the king of skepticism and guy who can see through all the BS, is just taking it at face value because it makes him feel good about his worldview.
For instance, much of his biography of Frank Sinatra involves things that he claims he remembers from pillow talk he had with Ava Gardner when she was 45 and he was 17 and they had an affair, during which she revealed all sorts of things that she never told anybody else.
This one here is from an article in The Guardian, this little blurb.
This tickled me.
Quote, there was a time that David Niven, stricken with the motor neuron disease that killed him, called Munn in.
Quote, Mike, I've got to see you.
He told him to bring his tape recorder and spoke of his secret love child, his illegitimacy, and his failed attempt to shoot himself, as well as hinting at an interest in Mormonism.
That sounds true!
A lot of his work seems to revolve around made-up things that happen to him that are secret and generally involve a one-on-one exchange with someone who is now dead.
Apparently this story about John Wayne came from Munn getting to know Wayne after he played a role, a very important role, a man in telephone box in the film Branigan.
He said that John Wayne treated him like a son after that.
Yeah, the families of people he's written about say that this shit is outrageous, and even Munn's own family doesn't buy his fabricated backstory.
It's all a load of shit being made up by someone trying to sell narratives that are self-aggrandizing, so it does kind of make sense why Alex would identify with this and accept it unquestioningly.
When he tries to pretend to be a little bit more moderate than he actually is in order to use that as ammunition in his transphobic narratives and such.
Yeah, what's important to think about whenever it comes to repealing abortion rights is that all of the Republicans who, as times have changed and as the popular opinion has changed towards a lot of subjects, have come along with.
As things get moved back, we're going to find out they were not coming along with.
You know that thing where people say any law in this republic for the Constitution is null and void?
Well, there's more to that.
In a republic, all law is subject to higher standards, which Blackstone's law commentaries identifies as God's law.
And any law that stands in conflict with this higher law is null and void.
A republic preserves the biblical concept that the government is a minister of God, upholding his righteous command to punish the evildoer and encourage the good.
So the passage that caller was reading is actually from a website called The Matrix Has You, and it's a blog post about how there's a secret 13th Amendment in the original Constitution that has been secretly removed and eliminated from history.
This was a reprinting of an article written by a roofer named Alfred Adsek, who published a newsletter called The Anti-Shyster, which was mostly about how much he hates lawyers.
This article was written in 1991, and in the next year, Alfred decided to try to run for the Texas Supreme Court on a Libertarian ticket.
Here's a blurb from D Magazine about his candidacy.
Quote, 47-year-old Adsek, who attended college for a year and a half, hopes to run for the Texas Supreme Court on the Libertarian Party ticket, despite the fact that the Texas Constitution says candidates must be a practicing lawyer or judge with 10 years' experience.
Adesk bases his candidacy on a, quote, personal interpretation of an old law that he said allows non-lawyers to run for judicial office in the 10 former Confederate states.
Quote, of course, if my interpretation is ridiculous.
Annex was a big sovereign citizen type, and so big, actually, that his name appears in a slideshow about sovereign citizens put together by a court administrator in Kansas City.
Discussing followers of that ideology's potential for violence, it says, quote, one of the most notorious, Alfred Adsek, made a statement, quote, we have the right to keep and bear arms in order to shoot our own politicians.
This dude is a major figure in the community of sovereign citizens, and one of his main interpretations of that ideology is that people aren't subject to the laws of the country or state, but to God's law.
He believes that this is part of the founding of the United States, and this is the mentality that's being expressed and tacitly supported by Alex on this show.
This is not sound or well-constructed as legal analysis.
It's the unfounded ravings of an anti-government zealot arguing that the country was established to be a theocracy.
This guy, Alfred, he also published a magazine called Suspicions, which is about as awful as you might think.
Their volume 11, number 3 issue from 2001 includes an article titled, quote, The Truth About Homosexuality, which is about as homophobic as you would imagine.
It defines homosexuality as a fetish and calls homosexual relationships a, quote, horrendous perverted septic and medically dangerous practice.
The author also claims that, quote, nothing turns gay men on more than the idea that you'd be both shocked and disgusted by their behavior.
This passage actually really stuck out to me in this essay.
Perhaps I am more sensitive to the issue than most, but whenever I hear someone describe themselves as openly gay, I automatically visualize them engaged with another man in a revolting act of anal intercourse, ruining my appetite.
That sounds like parody to me, honestly, but it's not.
If you read the article, it is not.
So, anyway, this is the sort of garbage that this dude who the caller is quoting is publishing.
It's great stuff all around.
Everyone is knocking it out of the park.
Anyway, I guess that's sort of secondary in as much as this legal analysis that we're all living under God's law and the Republic is meant to support that is written by the same person who's publishing this Yeah.
And, you know, this episode, honestly, August 1st is not very good.
It's mostly phone calls, and a lot of them are really boring and disappointing, so I had to try and find something interesting to talk about.
So there we go.
We get Alfred Adzik.
Anyway, we have one last clip here, and it's another caller.
And this struck me as really weird.
unidentified
Actually, if there's to be any justice in the world, Bush is going to have to be tried.
Hanged for the same reason the Japanese were tried and hanged.
And second, I believe that in some way, Alex understands the responsibility that he has to not engage in directed violent rhetoric at this point in his career.
He understands that even bandying about these ideas about Bush deserving to be hung is somewhat unhealthy as a way to communicate with the audience.
No, and I think it's a 100% reasonable thing to believe that George Bush should be tried at the Hague, and then his punishment will be what it deserves.
Like, one of the only things that I can think of, and maybe it's me, you know, putting a little bit too much into this, but, like, it feels like one of the only reasons that behavior would be so different is that in the past there was an awareness that, like, this isn't good.
I can't do this.
This isn't appropriate.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that seems to be...
Because I think that that's definitely true.
I think it is irresponsible and wrong and dangerous.
