|
Hello, Alex. | |
I'm a huge fan. | ||
I love your world. | ||
Knowledge Fight. | ||
KnowledgeFight.com. | ||
I love you. | ||
Hey, everybody. | ||
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
I'm Dan. | ||
I'm Jordan. | ||
We're a couple dudes like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
Oh, indeed we are. | ||
Dan. | ||
Jordan. | ||
Dan. | ||
Jordan. | ||
Quick question. | ||
What's up? | ||
What's your bright spot today, buddy? | ||
My bright spot today is, yep, it came in the mail. | ||
Just a delightful care package, let's say, from Raptor Princess Bex. | ||
Yes. | ||
A lot of care packages. | ||
There's a fair amount of chocolate in here that I told you already. | ||
I mean, all tonight. | ||
They even in the note specifically made it clear that I was to get some. | ||
I gave you the pickles. | ||
Well, that's fair. | ||
Some pickle relishes, I think. | ||
Then it's worked out well. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, exactly. | |
You're fine. | ||
I know. | ||
No, but for me, what sustains me is the heartfelt note. | ||
Very nice. | ||
Yes, it was gorgeous. | ||
Yeah, so I'm going to eat all this chocolate. | ||
That's all I can think about. | ||
unidentified
|
Also... | |
I'm confused by this. | ||
There was a... | ||
Yeah, put it out there. | ||
Let everybody else decide for you whether or not kittens are going to eat kittens or if you should eat. | ||
So there is in this a treat pack for cats. | ||
Just a Purina cat treat pack. | ||
Know for sure that that is for cats. | ||
Along with it, there's also something that looks like it. | ||
They're gummies, and it's a brand called Candy Kittens. | ||
Right. | ||
I don't know if this is for cats or for humans, and I don't know what to do with this. | ||
It's shaped in the form of a cat. | ||
You wouldn't feed a giraffe an animal cracker that looked exactly like a giraffe. | ||
That's just uncomfortable. | ||
See, it has allergy advice, which makes me think that it's for humans. | ||
That does seem more human. | ||
But it's making a big point of, like, it's palm oil free. | ||
Is palm oil something cats can't have? | ||
I have no idea. | ||
What is palm oil? | ||
I don't know! | ||
I'm gonna eat all of them anyway. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't care. | |
I think it's a good idea. | ||
Even if they're for cats. | ||
Eat the cat treats, too. | ||
It's cool for cats. | ||
It's cool for you. | ||
Squeeze. | ||
That's how it goes. | ||
So what about you? | ||
What's your bright spot? | ||
My bright spot is, Dan, yesterday, my partner and I went out and played tennis for a while. | ||
Immediately after we went to yoga, which was really cool, because we had a lot of exercise. | ||
But she has gotten good. | ||
At tennis? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Rafa good? | ||
No, well, I mean, like, here's how good she's gotten. | ||
A few years ago, and... | ||
Barely, you know, it was fun to hit the ball so high, you know, that'd be fun. | ||
We were playing yesterday, and she was kicking my ass! | ||
Eventually, I was like, I think I need to play hard in order to keep up with her. | ||
That's how good she's gotten. | ||
Well, maybe she's been going easy on you the whole time, and now it's finally, fuck it, we're married, I'm gonna go off. | ||
Have I been getting played this entire time? | ||
Like, this is the ultimate hustle. | ||
She slow-rolled you. | ||
She got married to me before she kicked my ass. | ||
That makes sense, yeah. | ||
She felt that she could not beat you at tennis before there was a ring on it. | ||
You know, that makes sense. | ||
unidentified
|
A lot of women get, you know, they have, all the men are bad, you know? | |
So they're like, let's not do this until, you know, I got it. | ||
And, I mean, I think it, who knows how you would respond to being beaten at tennis, you know? | ||
Like, I would wait years to beat you at tennis. | ||
You're going to throw a racket at me. | ||
No, no, no, no. | ||
I'm not. | ||
Oh, good heavens, no. | ||
No, that's not me. | ||
Any type of that type of competition, I don't even like winning. | ||
It makes me feel bad. | ||
Right, right. | ||
Because then it's like, you feel bad. | ||
I don't like that. | ||
Well, in that case, I would be worried about losing to you. | ||
If I lose, then I'm going to be real bad. | ||
Jordan wins, he's going to throw a racket at me. | ||
No, when I was growing up, my oldest brother, he was the one who had the temper. | ||
And it was all competition, too. | ||
He would get kicked out of things because he was so competitive and angry. | ||
So since then, I've grown up with this kind of like... | ||
Don't do that. | ||
And I go way too far the other direction. | ||
Yeah, I had a friend when I was younger who would throw controllers and break them and stuff like that when you'd lose at a game. | ||
And yeah, that kind of taught me early of like... | ||
You can control yourself and not break things. | ||
Don't do that. | ||
That said, I did punch walls for a little while when I was at my most angsty and mentally ill when I was younger. | ||
Your brain hasn't fully formed. | ||
A wall is in the way. | ||
That's true. | ||
A wall is in the way. | ||
That's what's going on. | ||
I didn't punch any load-bearing walls. | ||
I have lines. | ||
That's good. | ||
So, Jordan, today, as we discussed on our last episode, we're going to be continuing and sort of, I would say, wrapping up in terms of a dedicated look. | ||
At the response to the Uvalde shooting on Alex's part. | ||
And I think there's a lot of people who are probably thinking, hey, why don't you cover Alex's response to the January 6th commission? | ||
Well, there's only one episode. | ||
Of the commission. | ||
Yeah, there's a whole season of the commission. | ||
That's true. | ||
It's a miniseries. | ||
That's true. | ||
We do need to keep up on his responses. | ||
But the issue is... | ||
On Thursday, that's when the first hearing, the primetime hearing was. | ||
That day, Owen was hosting. | ||
Friday, the next day, Owen was hosting again. | ||
As always, whenever there's something that is like, we need to hear Alex's response to this. | ||
You're not gonna get it. | ||
No, he hits the bench. | ||
Yep. | ||
Let the minor league guys take the first hit, see what they've got to throw out there, see what people throw back at them, and then Alex will take a crack at it and see for waters. | ||
And honestly, who knows if it's intentional at all, but it definitely seems to be pretty consistent. | ||
Whenever there is something that's like... | ||
This is going to be nuts. | ||
We're well over three examples, and that means it's a pattern. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
There's things that I think are obviously, this is probably a coincidence. | ||
Like, when the new Pope was named. | ||
Sure. | ||
Like, Alex wasn't in studio. | ||
You can't know when the new Pope is going to be named. | ||
Because it could be today, or it could be tomorrow. | ||
Could be whenever. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But it is notable that Alex is out of studio whenever there are things that are like... | ||
He might have some real interesting commentary on this. | ||
If there's a personal connection that emotions might get him to reveal things that maybe he shouldn't. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So we're recording this on Sunday. | ||
Yes. | ||
And Alex may be hosting his show this evening, but we don't know by the time we're recording this, and it would be impossible to flip it around. | ||
So maybe we'll have a January 6th committee response thing on Wednesday. | ||
Ideally? | ||
Yeah. | ||
We'll see. | ||
We'll see what happens. | ||
If not, maybe some space nonsense or something. | ||
Or the past. | ||
Let's get this taste out of our mouth. | ||
We haven't gone to the past for a while. | ||
That's true. | ||
We've been in that. | ||
The present requires some attention. | ||
unidentified
|
That's true. | |
So today, Jordan, we're going to be talking about June 6th, 2022. | ||
That is a day that... | ||
Something really notable happened on Alex's show. | ||
Interesting. | ||
We talked about, before the show, giving a teaser. | ||
Maybe we should give a teaser. | ||
Yeah, you want to give a teaser? | ||
Yeah, because this is what happens that is so fucked up. | ||
Let's see it. | ||
Meanwhile, I didn't get to this clip yesterday. | ||
We're going to play it when we come back. | ||
When I'm wrong, I'm wrong. | ||
And when I made a mistake, I admit it. | ||
And I've got egg all over my face. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
Alex Jones is not always right. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
And I'm ashamed of myself. | ||
And I don't say that to like, oh, look, he's ashamed of himself. | ||
I mean, that's how I feel. | ||
I need to admit that. | ||
So, Alex is ashamed of himself and he's got egg all over that face. | ||
No. | ||
No, I refuse to believe that he experiences shame. | ||
I refuse to believe it! | ||
Of course. | ||
But yes, there is a bit of a protracted quote-unquote apology in this episode about his coverage of Uralde. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
And so we will get to that, and we'll see the path that we get to the apology. | ||
Of course. | ||
And again, in heavy quotes, apology. | ||
Yeah, that makes sense. | ||
But before we do that, Jordan... | ||
Let's take a little moment to say hello to some new wonks. | ||
Oh, that's a great idea. | ||
So first, Sunbee, that's me, says hello to Tanooki Town. | ||
Thank you so much. | ||
You're now a policy wonk. | ||
I'm a policy wonk. | ||
Thank you very much! | ||
Hello, the Tanooki suit from Mario. | ||
Everybody loves it. | ||
Mario 3 turned into a statue. | ||
I didn't know it could turn into a statue until two years ago. | ||
What? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Wow. | ||
Straight up. | ||
Terrible. | ||
Never even found the hammer suit. | ||
Brutal. | ||
Next, Space Forge. | ||
Thank you so much. | ||
You're now a policy wonk. | ||
I'm a policy wonk. | ||
Thank you very much! | ||
Thank you. | ||
Next, Hawk Jefferson from Twisting Plancha Podcasts. | ||
Thank you so much. | ||
You're now a policy wonk. | ||
I'm a policy wonk. | ||
Thank you very much! | ||
Next, The Build-A-Bear Group. | ||
Thank you so much. | ||
You're now a policy wonk. | ||
I'm a policy wonk. | ||
Thank you very much! | ||
Next, I don't patronize bunny rabbits. | ||
Thank you so much. | ||
You're now a policy wonk. | ||
I'm a policy wonk. | ||
Thank you very much! | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you! | |
And we got two technocrates in the mix, Jordan. | ||
So first, we're a couple of dudes who sit around and worship at the altar of ghosts and laugh at 1997, the mummy memes. | ||
Thank you so much. | ||
You are now a technocrat. | ||
And trans rights, and then in parentheses it says dramatic pause. | ||
Or else, thank you so much. | ||
You are now a technocrat. | ||
I'm going to play the old one again. | ||
Do it. | ||
I'm a policy wonk. | ||
unidentified
|
Four stars. | |
Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant. | ||
Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop. | ||
Daddy Shark. | ||
Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent. | ||
unidentified
|
He's a loser little titty baby. | |
I don't want to hate black people. | ||
I renounce Jesus Christ. | ||
Thank you so much. | ||
Yes, thank you very much. | ||
So now, Jordan, we start here at the beginning of the show. | ||
And here's where Alex's headspace is in at the jump. | ||
All right. | ||
Most people don't realize they're living through extremely historical events until it's already happened. | ||
And I am not a doom and gloomer. | ||
I have incredible optimism in humanity. | ||
I believe in humanity's future. | ||
I believe we'll colonize space. | ||
Yeah, very optimistic. | ||
Okay. | ||
I think that's not true at all. | ||
How is it that we're going to colonize space if the globalist plan is to kill all of us and then colonize space by themselves? | ||
Well, because you have to defeat the globalists and then you'll be able to colonize space because you will have passed God's test of the devil that is the globalist. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
Okay, throw this out there. | ||
I'm listening. | ||
If more than one human... | ||
Right, because we assume the globalists are interdimensional demons, naturally, for the most part. | ||
But they've got to have some humans working with them. | ||
So they get off-planet. | ||
We're all humans. | ||
Did we technically get off-planet? | ||
No, because you're being possessed by the demons if you're working with the globalists. | ||
Yeah, you're right. | ||
You know, somehow the demon possession works into your genes and you're no longer human. | ||
Much like these QAnon folks believe that the COVID vaccine makes you a genetically modified organism. | ||
That's true. | ||
They have a patent on you. | ||
Yeah, I think it would probably be the same. | ||
So yeah, if the globalists colonize space, that's kind of a bust. | ||
Then it's all over for us. | ||
We can't let them get off planet. | ||
I would take issue with Alex's claim that he's an optimist. | ||
Yeah, me too. | ||
That definitely does not seem true. | ||
I can't count the number of times he said we're all dead. | ||
We are all dead. | ||
It's hopeless. | ||
Billions dead. | ||
Even when he's optimistic, it's like, maybe only... | ||
A billion. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And then I will be able to strangle Klaus Schwab with my parents. | ||
Right, right, right, right. | ||
Yep, yep. | ||
That's the good scenario. | ||
Yeah, that's still a bit pessimistic, I think. | ||
So, yeah, I think he's in a strange space, as evidenced by... | ||
And the science has shown that there are other dimensions more powerful energetically than our own, holding our dimension in place. | ||
The higher dimensions are there, as the mathematical equations show. | ||
What? | ||
Show it. | ||
Show me the math. | ||
Show me the math. | ||
And there are evil influences in the universe as well, not just... | ||
The impetus of Genesis and life. | ||
So let me just state this very calmly in a very controlled way. | ||
We know from history, we know from the Bible, we know from every other ancient text as well. | ||
I'm going to call my shot on this one. | ||
No, we don't. | ||
That humanity goes through cycles of death and rebirth. | ||
And everybody's seen the meme that says, hard times make strong men. | ||
Strong men make good times. | ||
Good times make weak men. | ||
Weak men make bad times. | ||
Or you can reverse it. | ||
Weak men make bad times. | ||
You can reverse it. | ||
Wow. | ||
That is bull. | ||
So I think there's some interesting things that you can take away from this. | ||
First, obviously, this is a little bit silly. | ||
Yeah. | ||
The space-time evil dimensions proven by math. | ||
Evil dimensions, they've got more energy. | ||
I'm going to wait until he demonstrates that to believe it. | ||
I could use a little math. | ||
I think at the end there, with this meme that he has about hard times make strong men stuff. | ||
I think that if you believe that, you can no longer believe, like, really in free will. | ||
Like, you have a pretty deterministic view of stuff, because that's essentially saying that who you are and the hardiness that you have is determined by your circumstances. | ||
Entirely. | ||
There's nothing, like, in good times... | ||
Tough men won't exist or whatever. | ||
I think that's a little bit silly to assume that everybody is just sort of blowing around in the wind. | ||
Especially it's silly if you believe the sort of stuff that Alex believes. | ||
It's incompatible. | ||
It doesn't really make sense to believe that the times make a man if you believe that God created you with all of your characteristics already intact at the beginning. | ||
Right. | ||
Then the times make nothing. | ||
The times are simply where God plugs people in and out, I guess. | ||
Yeah, this is a fine thing for a meme, I guess. | ||
I mean, it's sort of a way of contextualizing, like, hey, things were tough, and I learned from them, or whatever. | ||
Yeah, ultimately what you're saying is if times are tough, then people have to be tougher in order to deal with it. | ||
It's kind of an inspirational thing, and if you try and take it seriously, you're going to lose your mind. | ||
Yeah, yeah, but I get it. | ||
I guess Alex has reached nirvana of some sort, that life is a cycle of death and rebirth, and what have you. | ||
Yeah, no, I saw a heavily edited AI conversation, so we know that's true. | ||
I think that there's a weird implication there, too, and that is that, like, why would you fight the death, then, if it's just a part of the cycle that leads to the next rebirth? | ||
Sure. | ||
Like, what's the point? | ||
Make peace with the fact that his death is coming and there will be a rebirth afterwards. | ||
Have you not... | ||
Does Alex really think that he's capable of breaking the cycle of death and rebirth? | ||
What? | ||
I mean, the wheel of reincarnation. | ||
I really think that next time Alex is not going to come back the way that he thinks he is. | ||
I definitely... | ||
If he believes in reincarnation, yes. | ||
I definitely believe that that is the case. | ||
He is no Brahmin. | ||
I'll tell you that right now. | ||
He's going to come back as one of his kid's children. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
You are your ancestors. | ||
God, that'd be even worse! | ||
Yeah, so I think there's a lot of convoluted nonsense going on here. | ||
That doesn't make sense. | ||
But see, this cycle, it continues. | ||
And here's where we are, man. | ||
Good men make good times. | ||
And good times make bad men. | ||
That's a simple way to go over the cycle, but it is a known cycle that humans have behaved in this way over and over again. | ||
And at the end of the cycle, what always happens? | ||
People start cheating on their husbands and wives. | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
What? | ||
People start having sex with the same sex. | ||
What? | ||
I'm not even judging people that do that. | ||
Yes, you are! | ||
As a person. | ||
I'm just saying this is historical. | ||
That's what you're saying! | ||
And then they come at her children and want to have sex with them. | ||
That's you! | ||
And I am 100% against that. | ||
And then they want to start sacrificing the children. | ||
Well, we're here, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Yeah, that's where we're at, sacrificing children time. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
I think you're right, that it is judgmental. | ||
What are you saying? | ||
Listen, I don't judge you personally for your behavior. | ||
What you are is the harbinger of the death of all men. | ||
Listen, it's not personal. | ||
You're just an example of how all men are weak and going to die in this time period. | ||
Right, right. | ||
People having same-sex relationships is a sign of the end times. | ||
I think that this is silly and offensive and clearly based in a bigotry that he has against the LGBTQ community. | ||
But I do think that if he wants me to take this at all seriously, then he needs to have as much anger as he does towards drag queen story time for anybody who cheats on their spouse. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
He needs to have that as a consistent thing, because if cheating on your spouse is also a harbinger of these end times, then shouldn't you care a lot about that? | |
Did you ever have any infidelity, Alex? | ||
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
Aren't you remarried? | ||
Shouldn't you still be with your first wife? | ||
Well, I mean, by the babe. | ||
Well, sure. | ||
Yeah, I don't know. | ||
I find this insincere and just sort of a rationalization for him to be able to attack the communities that he wants to attack. | ||
Yeah, I mean, the problem there is if you start looking at history, you'll start looking at that strong men, weak men meme and then start looking at matriarchal societies that function and have happiness and are joyful. | ||
And you're like, oh man, maybe we should just not have the men part. | ||
Maybe that's why the cycle keeps happening is you keep caring about men. | ||
Hard men, weak men, doesn't matter! | ||
Get them out of here! | ||
I think also some of that perception about the hard men come in hard times or whatever, probably a lot of that has to do with our storytelling and the way we hero-worship certain aspects. | ||
I would assume that it has a lot to do with folklore and myth. | ||
But yeah, so they're sacrificing children. | ||
Sure. | ||
And here's what he means by that, because he doesn't mean it literally, although he wants the audience to feel like it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, we're here, ladies and gentlemen, and at a gay strip bar in Dallas this weekend. | ||
Which one? | ||
With a big neon sign saying it's not going to lick itself behind little children and all sorts of other pornographic statements. | ||
Children as young as three years old were brought in and paraded around like Roman standards that have been captured by the enemy. | ||
So what other sexually obscene slogans were there on the walls? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I guess if he wants to claim that. | ||
He can, but this wasn't a strip show at all. | ||
There was a drag show in Dallas. | ||
It was at a gay bar, that is true, and it was part of Pride. | ||
But it was during the day, as evidenced by the large number of adults yelling groomer at people outside the venue. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So there was a sign. | ||
There were pictures of this, and the right wing has been up in a tizzy. | ||
Oh, of course. | ||
Oh, they have the signs. | ||
And it said, it's not going to lick itself. | ||
And this is a sign that's from a popular ice cream shop. | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't know. | ||
I think everyone there was probably aware that that's a slogan of the ice cream shop that's super popular in town, so it wouldn't necessarily have as much of a hard sexual innuendo to the people that are there. | ||
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
They would have more of a familiarity with this. | ||
It's more of a soft sexual innuendo. | ||
Soft serve. | ||
Ah! | ||
Nicely done. | ||
Yeah, I don't know. | ||
I guess if that's child sacrifice. | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't know what to say. | ||
This is pathetic. | ||
I don't know what three-year-old is capable of understanding concepts. | ||
Listen, they can read. | ||
That's possible. | ||
I'm not saying the three-year-olds can't read. | ||
However, the concept of soft sexual innuendo seems a little bit beyond them. | ||
That's just me. | ||
I am not an expert on raising children because I have not interacted with children in quite a while. | ||
But I do remember that when I was in middle school, I rode bus 69 to school. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And people made jokes about it. | ||
What? | ||
And I didn't get it. | ||
That's pretty blunt. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So there's a decent chance that in a city where there's a popular ice cream shop where this is their slogan, the kids might just be like, oh, it's like the ice cream. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Who cares? | ||
Great. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Anyway, I don't think it's that big of a deal. | ||
No. | ||
So Alex complains a bit about all of his enemies, and he just gets mad at the devil worshippers. | ||
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
And this is going to go on a while, but I just want people to feel this. | ||
We don't experience this much on the show, because we turn it off after an ad pivot. | ||
Sure, sure, sure, sure. | ||
I've spoiled that there's an ad pivot coming. | ||
Yes, you have. | ||
Just live in this. | ||
Here we go. | ||
I hate these devil-worshiping pedophiles. | ||
Every cell in my body wants to get them off our children. | ||
And I can't do it without you, and you can't do it without me, and we can't do it without God. | ||
But together, we can do anything that we will. | ||
And the fact that they've accelerated their whole agenda right now, and it's all out in the open and the mask is off, is because the devil sends the beast with wrath because he knows his time is short. | ||
Let he who have understanding reckon the number of the beast. | ||
For it is the number of a man, 666. | ||
42. So I'm going to hit this economic news with this all ties together. | ||
The most important work InfoWars has ever done is now here. | ||
And I want to thank you for sponsoring us. | ||
Research Wars? | ||
George Soros is the world funding us. | ||
We have people like you. | ||
I've never had big donors. | ||
Without the big donors that came in, we would be in the red worse than I thought, and we'd be having to lay off half our crew as we speak this month. | ||
But some folks came through and literally sustained us, but I don't want to get into the red again. | ||
Real quick, we'll get back to this, but I really do feel, you know, we're at the point Alex is mentioning that these big donors essentially saved his ability to do the show. | ||
We're at the point where he needs to disclose who these people are, because if there are conflicts of interest... | ||
I don't think that this is the case, but because he doesn't disclose who these people are, you have to start thinking, who could it be? | ||
Someone who's willing to drop $8 million in Bitcoin on this fucking idiot. | ||
Alex says that all of these billionaires and all these really rich people in the elites, they're all lined up in the side of the globalists, except for Elon Musk, which is normal for Alex. | ||
But then the other name he throws in is Peter Thiel. | ||
I don't think that Peter Thiel is the person who gave him the money, but because he won't disclose who this donor is, it makes you think Peter Thiel is someone who probably could have access to millions of dollars of Bitcoin. | ||
Totally. | ||
It seems like that is a possible person, and if it is, there are implied reasons he would give Alex that money in order to bail him out of trouble. | ||
And so he needs to disclose who this person is for the sake of... | ||
The integrity of his show? | ||
The imaginary integrity of his show? | ||
Something, I guess. | ||
But yeah, that troubled me a little bit. | ||
Because I've not heard him say positive things about Peter Thiel before. | ||
I can't imagine him doing that. | ||
Literally, Peter Thiel exists as the almost prototype of the globalist that Alex believes in. | ||
And he's responsible for a very chilling effect on free speech. | ||
Yeah, he's a monster! | ||
Yeah. | ||
He's an absolute monster! | ||
But he also donated to Trump. | ||
No, I know he did that. | ||
No, no, no. | ||
Not many people have championed evil quite as well as Peter Thiel. | ||
I'm saying from Alex's perspective. | ||
Sure. | ||
Which is, yeah. | ||
He was into Trump. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled plugs. | ||
Plus, I've got products you need. | ||
We've got less than 10% of the coins left at InfoWarsStore.com. | ||
There's a link. | ||
Or 1776Coin.com. | ||
It's the third and final coin in the 1776. | ||
Less than 10%. | ||
It's a founding member coin. | ||
Meaning you give us your email and you get this coin, you will get special deals, exclusive documentaries, reports. | ||
I'm planning a bunch of stuff that's almost complete. | ||
It is complete, a lot of it. | ||
I've just been so busy, I haven't got a bunch of it launched. | ||
And you are the folks that financed it and did it. | ||
I salute you. | ||
And if you've never gotten one of the coins or you want to be a founding member, it's your last chance in the markup. | ||
And the reason it costs, obviously, more than the coin does. | ||
It's because it funds our operation. | ||
You're buying a memento to know that you donated to this operation. | ||
It's such a historical point. | ||
1776coin.com, the final free men bear arms. | ||
Come and take a coin in the series. | ||
1776coin.com or 888-253-3139. | ||
And finally, this always happens. | ||
Usually it does. | ||
I've not come up with new specials. | ||
And I was meeting for an hour this morning just looking at what products we even have in stock. | ||
They're like, well, you only sell products when they're for sale, and you're running out of these, and more isn't coming in for a few months, even though we've got a better supplier now for four of the supplements. | ||
We've made a lot of moves, thank God, and found a lot of patriots out there with big, successful companies that are working with us. | ||
So we're stabilizing here for now, thanks to all of you carrying us through. | ||
We really can't offer deals like this much longer. | ||
The Memorial Day special is going to have to go another day or two because I just don't even know what I'm going to have for sale here, quite frankly. | ||
This goes on like three more minutes. | ||
It's incessant. | ||
It's so long. | ||
Why do I feel like I'm getting a middle ground between an apology and a sales pitch and an apology for the sales pitch? | ||
It's low energy. | ||
But here's the thing. | ||
It's the... | ||
The introduction of this is that, like, yelling about how he hates the demon pedophiles and what have you, and you can't beat them without me. | ||
And then this leads into this protracted sales pitch about how the Memorial Day sale is still in effect. | ||
Compounding with the Easter sale. | ||
I mean, apparently it's an apology for not having a different name for the sale, which is essentially going to be the exact same sale. | ||
I have a spoiler, too. | ||
What's that? | ||
Alex never has time to make a new special. | ||
That happens all the time. | ||
He's constantly being like, oh no, I haven't had time to make a new sale. | ||
And you're right, it is just a new name. | ||
Yeah, I mean, we're weeks away from Christmas in July special, so what do we do? | ||
Double Patriot points. | ||
He can't be like, oh, we're doing Pride Month special. | ||
Nope, can't do that one. | ||
I think it would be interesting. | ||
That would be interesting. | ||
Peter Thiel made him do it. | ||
What a fucking turnaround that would be. | ||
So he does an entire segment. | ||
That is just ads. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And very, very much a bummer. | ||
Oh, also, at different points in the show, he does say that there's different amounts of those coins still available. | ||
So I'm very distrusting of how well these are moving. | ||
Less than 10% available. | ||
10% sold. | ||
He said there's like half left in other points. | ||
All right. | ||
We'll see. | ||
But here, look, man. | ||
The reality is this. | ||
Let me just start going into it here. | ||
Man, I tell you. | ||
The problem is I got too much niche. | ||
And again, my frustration is if I don't drill into each one properly, I don't give it context in my view. | ||
And that doesn't help things. | ||
But at the same time, you just can't get to all of it. | ||
So I'll just give you the headlines, a little bit of the news, and then give you my synopsis. | ||
You can go read the articles yourself and decide if you think I'm right or what you think is going on. | ||
I'm sure you'll have something to add to it. | ||
I feel like it's bizarre that Alex can spend an entire segment on ads and then be like, I have too much news to get into. | ||
I just have so much news. | ||
Which is fine, I guess. | ||
That's de rigueur. | ||
But I find it fascinating that Alex thinks that what he's describing isn't what he just does all the time. | ||
I'm going to read some headlines. | ||
I'm going to riff on it for a second, and then I don't give a fuck. | ||
You can go read it. | ||
Yeah, you go read it and decide if I'm right or wrong. | ||
Right, and no one goes and reads anything. | ||
Right, right, right. | ||
And then nothing happens. | ||
Nothing gets done. | ||
There's no progress. | ||
Nobody understands anything better. | ||
I don't know why he thinks that that's not his normal day at work. | ||
I would like to hear him describe what he does that's not that. | ||
You know, like, well, listen, today I've got too much news, so I can't do what I normally do. | ||
Which is dig into each story. | ||
I think he thinks that he does that. | ||
Really? | ||
Maybe. | ||
I can't imagine thinking that. | ||
Me neither. | ||
I mean, he doesn't even realize it when he has a stack of news articles that have been printed out and they're all the same story with different headlines from different places. | ||
He doesn't do anything. | ||
He doesn't know anything. | ||
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
Nope. | ||
It's all just improv based on the headlines as suggestions. | ||
Yeah, but the part that's written is the part where he says that he's almost going to do a different thing. | ||
No, the part that's written is, I need to make a new sale. | ||
That's what I'm saying. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
So here's an interesting thing. | ||
I don't know how to deal with this. | ||
White supremacy that's as rare as a leprechaun. | ||
I mean, it happens, but somebody saw a leprechaun once. | ||
I mean, it's going on. | ||
It's very rare. | ||
Alex believes in leprechauns. | ||
So, somebody saw a leprechaun once. | ||
Apparently. | ||
Okay. | ||
So, he stated as fact, somebody saw a leprechaun once, so now everybody believes in leprechauns. | ||
Somebody saw a leprechaun once, it's going on. | ||
I mean, but wait. | ||
But hold on. | ||
So that means... | ||
But it doesn't mean that... | ||
Oh, man. | ||
You can't just say the leprechaun thing at me. | ||
No. | ||
It's an interesting way for Alex to... | ||
Minimize white supremacy? | ||
But what he was saying is it's as rare as a leprechaun, but then he realized leprechauns don't exist. | ||
They don't exist. | ||
And so he's saying that white supremacy doesn't exist. | ||
So now he has to commit to believing in a leprechaun. | ||
Yeah, a leprechaun is real. | ||
Or white supremacy is not. | ||
I saw that series of documentaries. | ||
There was one where the leprechaun went to the hood. | ||
Yeah, I think we need to get a magician. | ||
There was one where he was in space. | ||
What is it? | ||
There was a leprechaun trying to colonize space. | ||
We've got to beat him to it. | ||
Oh boy. | ||
So yeah, Alex believes in leprechauns. | ||
Yeah, and he doesn't believe in the most common ideology. | ||
What's that? | ||
White supremacy. | ||
Oh. | ||
Yep. | ||
So, yeah, it would be like if there were leprechauns all over the place. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
You couldn't fucking kick, you couldn't walk without kicking three or four leprechauns. | ||
If, like, General Mills got canceled for having Lucky Charms. | ||
If, like, it'd be like leprechauns would open windows and toss chamber pots filled with gold on top of your head. | ||
You wouldn't be able to walk without having an umbrella. | ||
Uh-huh. | ||
You know? | ||
Instead of TikTok, we'd have riddles. | ||
Just riddle. | ||
Dude, wait. | ||
Do leprechauns tell riddles? | ||
Leprechauns do not tell riddles. | ||
Shit. | ||
No, no, no. | ||
Mixing up my myths. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So, Alex, a lot of this is dumb nonsense. | ||
But then also, a lot of the beginning of this show ends up getting into some territory that he feels a little bit hurt by. | ||
And I'm not going to even go over all the lies. | ||
It's just staggering. | ||
But I mean... | ||
Here's an example. | ||
Last week, hundreds of publications, Reuters, AP, New York Times, Washington Post, basically hundreds that I saw, said Jones thrown out of bankruptcy court by the Justice Department for being a criminal, and it's a huge victory for the Sandy Hook parents. | ||
They dropped their lawsuits against InfoWars and against our key real companies saying they were fake. | ||
And it's a devastating victory for the truth and everything. | ||
They're still suing free speech systems, and that's ongoing. | ||
But I'm not going to give you the inside baseball, but I'm going to leave it at that. | ||
The point is, is that they're at the table right now. | ||
And then you look at the news, oh, Alex Jones and the Justice Department, they dropped their lawsuits against InfoWars and three other companies, InfoWars Health, and so we dropped the bankruptcy. | ||
Total victory. | ||
And then they spin it that, oh, I'm a criminal, and the DOJ made them drop it. | ||
This isn't at all accurate. | ||
That's weak. | ||
So, to sum up, Alex attempted to file bankruptcy for three of his companies that don't actually exist except on paper. | ||
Three key real companies. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
That was a little funny. | ||
Yeah. | ||
A little silly. | ||
Key real companies. | ||
So these three companies were among the named defendants in the cases against Alex because prior to the suit, it was really unclear how his businesses were arranged. | ||
And it wasn't known that none of these companies even do any business. | ||
Alex tried to bankrupt these companies because he knew that doing so would put a halt on the trial for damages in the Sandy Hook cases, which is why he filed days before the trial was set to begin in Texas. | ||
It was a desperate move on his part because he knew that was the only way he could buy time, and ultimately, because the companies he was bankrupting didn't have any assets or do any business, it wouldn't make any difference to him if he did that. | ||
Because that was the case, and because of the new awareness of these companies that they aren't really real, the plaintiffs decided that they could drop these companies from the lawsuit as a way to make it so. | ||
Alex's bankrupting of them wouldn't affect the case's ability to move forward. | ||
There wasn't anything that they could collect from these companies on judgment anyway, so it didn't matter to drop those companies from the suit. | ||
It didn't. | ||
It's a zero. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
The trial itself got postponed still, and that was obviously the goal. | ||
And now that that goal has been achieved, there's really no reason to continue with the charade of the bankruptcy. | ||
The plaintiffs dropped the non-existent companies from the suit, and Alex withdrew the bankruptcy claims, so the case can now move forward, and none of the... | ||
Like, it's basically like none of this had ever happened. | ||
Yeah, 100%. | ||
Nope. | ||
Yeah, yeah, His spin sounds good if you know nothing about the case, like his audience almost certainly does. | ||
But if you've been following this at all, this is just complete bullshit. | ||
and You know that he knows he's lying. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
There's no way he could say these things sincerely. | ||
He said key real companies. | ||
Right. | ||
What is that? | ||
Say that in any way that isn't obviously you saying that these are fake companies. | ||
Right? | ||
Yeah, it's a tell. | ||
It'd be key companies. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
That's fine. | ||
You'd be like, oh, those are central to your business operation. | ||
But you had to specifically say to me they were key real companies. | ||
I must insist. | ||
What does that mean? | ||
I must insist that this company is very real. | ||
Do you have key fake companies as well? | ||
These are the important fake companies we have. | ||
And Alex screams a bunch about how, like, I tried to open up my books to show them that I don't have the money they think I do. | ||
And I would take that way more seriously if he bankrupted himself and Free Speech Systems. | ||
But there's a reason he didn't do that, and that's the reason that the trial is coming up at the end of July, and he's going to be fucked still. | ||
Yeah, that's the idea. | ||
It does not matter that these other companies got dropped. | ||
That is the idea. | ||
But he's oppressed. | ||
By whom? | ||
The system. | ||
Oh, which one? | ||
I didn't intend to go off on a big tirade, a jag, about the Justice Department and the stuff they do. | ||
To me, you can pull it up, thousands of articles in the last few months. | ||
Jones is a fraud. | ||
Jones has filed a criminal bankruptcy. | ||
Jones, never looking at one document, none of it ever even got entered in. | ||
Never got to that point. | ||
They're supposed to be a deliberative body. | ||
They're supposed to get evidence. | ||
They're supposed to actually know what they're talking about. | ||
And then again, they smoke their own dope and drop all their challenges against our main companies saying it's a fraud. | ||
Our key main real companies. | ||
Because you see, they think I'm like them. | ||
They think everything that comes out of my mouth is a lie like them. | ||
When everything I do is to strive. | ||
To be as accurate as I can, because I believe that's the currency people want, is truth. | ||
I think the lady doth protest too much. | ||
Wild. | ||
Yeah, this is a little dumb. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I know you are, but what am I is a lot shorter way of saying that. | ||
It's really uncomfortable to hear a man use a lot more words to say, I'm rubber and you're glue. | ||
Right. | ||
But you know what? | ||
There is something that is kind of compelling about this if you're a listener of his show, and that is you would assume that InfoWars LLC is the main company. | ||
Of course. | ||
Because the company is named InfoWars. | ||
Everybody calls it InfoWars. | ||
The logo says InfoWars. | ||
And so the... | ||
The notion that the InfoWars itself was dropped from the suit would give people that perception, that, like, that is the main real company, but it's not. | ||
No. | ||
Nope. | ||
Yeah, it's, uh... | ||
In the fact... | ||
I see the value of the spin that he's using for his audience's sake. | ||
Totally, totally. | ||
But it's dumb. | ||
And it was also a deliberate choice to name a shell company, a fake, a key fake company, after the name of your actual business. | ||
But yeah, I don't know. | ||
Anyway, Alex is like, these people, they think that I'm a liar because they're liars. | ||
And look, I'm not a liar. | ||
No. | ||
Now, I've done almost 700 episodes of a podcast thoroughly talking maybe too much about the myriad lies that he tells. | ||
And I would say, look, there's some repetition in our show. | ||
But not that much. | ||
Not as much as, well, his. | ||
It's not like we talk about the same bullshit every day. | ||
We really don't. | ||
We really don't. | ||
It's new and fabulous lies that he tells. | ||
But look, he doesn't. | ||
When he's wrong, he wants you to know. | ||
Oh, of course. | ||
They literally think we're like them. | ||
And guess what, losers? | ||
We're not. | ||
We're good. | ||
The listeners, and there's millions and millions every day and millions more every week, they tune in here because they know they're getting their best shot at accurate analysis. | ||
And when I'm wrong, I'll tell you because I want you to know it. | ||
Because I want to get better. | ||
And that's really the difference. | ||
These people just think up the biggest lies they can and think about how do they deceive people and how do they screw people. | ||
I don't want to live in a world like that. | ||
I have children. | ||
If Alex wants to know what he's got wrong so he can do better, I have 700 episodes of the podcast for you to study. | ||
You've got a lot of evidence there. | ||
Get to work! | ||
I mean, it is... | ||
It's one of those things where we've developed a tone of voice over centuries and thousands of years in order to communicate emotions without words. | ||
At no point in time in human history has a good person ever been up in your face screaming, Listen, buddy, we're good people. | ||
You're telling the truth. | ||
It seems rare. | ||
I'm not saying it's not possible. | ||
Right. | ||
I bet at some point it has happened, maybe in the Wild West, when everybody was rough. | ||
I'm going to throw this out at you. | ||
In the Bible, which he supposedly likes, you know, that whole, like... | ||
Don't say you're a good person. | ||
People know because you do things that make them think you're a good person. | ||
Right, right. | ||
But what if instead you yelled a lot? | ||
That's a possible thing. | ||
About how good you are. | ||
Yeah, I didn't consider that one. | ||
That one seems a lot faster. | ||
There wasn't a radio show in the Bible, right? | ||
That's true. | ||
Saul would never have become Paul if he had a radio show. | ||
He would have just been Alex Jones. | ||
And also Alex would never walk along a road. | ||
Nope. | ||
Nope. | ||
Absolutely not. | ||
So this is the context that brings up Alex's apology. | ||
Essentially, he is in this state where he's complaining about the media, lying about him and his cases. | ||
All this is like, I want to be honest! | ||
I am not a liar! | ||
It's about striving for accuracy. | ||
And so that leads him to his, I have egg on my face. | ||
I am ashamed. | ||
But before we get to that, Alex does have to discuss his own weaknesses a little bit. | ||
And this is interesting. | ||
Okay. | ||
You don't think I don't know. | ||
Karma is real. | ||
You reap what you sow. | ||
Because I've done things unintentionally bad in my life. | ||
And it came back on me. | ||
I'm scared to do bad. | ||
It's not like I want to do bad either. | ||
I morally don't want to do bad. | ||
But I'm scared to mess up. | ||
What? | ||
And that's why we're so different from these people. | ||
is I'm scared I'm going to get pissed and bash somebody's brains out. | ||
We're good. | ||
unidentified
|
Amen. | |
I gotta keep that under control. | ||
And I know when I get under pressure, my mind will twist things sometimes and convince me that doing bad things is moral. | ||
And when I was younger, I couldn't control that and made a lot of mistakes. | ||
I make far fewer now. | ||
Maybe your perception is just different. | ||
I mean... | ||
Maybe you're really rich and surrounded by people who don't check you anymore, and you are still making the exact same analyses of whether or not the things you're doing are good. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
What you can do... | ||
So there's two ways to go about this, all right? | ||
You can do good things, right? | ||
And then people go, wow, you're doing good things. | ||
Or you can give people a lot of money to say you're doing good things. | ||
That is an option. | ||
Same thing. | ||
I think we got quite a list here of Alex's failings. | ||
Yeah. | ||
He's intensely violent. | ||
He wants to fuck everybody. | ||
And sometimes his brain tells him evil is good. | ||
I just look at this person and see somebody who is, even when trying to make sense of the world in a way that is like... | ||
Like, I know I'm telling you a lie right now. | ||
You know, like, Alex knows when he's lying to you. | ||
And my brain is telling me that that's actually good. | ||
I mean, yeah. | ||
Like, he's just so fucking confused. | ||
This is a confused, scared boy that got a million billion dollars and a radio show. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It really shows the danger of dentistry. | ||
Because, you know, you get a rich dentist dad. | ||
Who just enables your bullshit. | ||
No, do you know what it is? | ||
Here's what it is. | ||
Exactly. | ||
It is the Twilight Zone episode where the kid has the psychic powers and the adults all around him are just enslaved to that child's whims, you know? | ||
Do anything wrong and you might turn into a lamp. | ||
That's what we're dealing with with Alex. | ||
If that kid grew up and everybody was like, well, I guess we just live like this now. | ||
You know what else I was thinking about, too? | ||
I was thinking that this wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for 9-11. | ||
Alex's career would not exist, really, without that long stretch of building up a weird community around 9-11 trutherism. | ||
Oh, totally. | ||
Or at least he would still exist, but mostly on shortwave or something, in the niche area. | ||
I don't think he has the capability. | ||
He did write a book, and it is nowhere near the appeal of a Behold a Pale Horse. | ||
No. | ||
He's no Bill Cooper on that level. | ||
No, no, no, no. | ||
And maybe... | ||
This is what the terrorists wanted. | ||
Maybe all along is a long game. | ||
They did 9-11 in order to facilitate the creation of an unhinged weirdo conspiracy theorist in Texas in order to destabilize democracy. | ||
I'm not joking when I say I really do think that that's going to be going down as the most successful terror attack in history. | ||
because if your goal was to destroy the United States, it's hard to believe that everything we've done since 9-11 has not gone that direction. | ||
Going through my head, trying to think of other terrorist attacks, and yeah, I don't Sure! | ||
Leads me to be like, well, maybe not, but I can't think of anything. | ||
And I don't mean successful in terms of like... | ||
Impactful, you mean. | ||
Exactly, exactly. | ||
Like, in real terms, that event stoked everything that led to where we are. | ||
You know, the militarization of police, ICE, Homeland Security, the fucking rise of the far right, the massive amount of Islamophobia leading all the way back to LGBTQ homophobia, all the way back! | ||
Like, it goes all the way around. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I have a lot of faith in us being able to create bad situations. | ||
So I have some... | ||
I have to hold on to a belief that we would have got to a terrible place even without it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I do think... | ||
I think that you could see a lot of the sort of ripple waves for sure coming from that. | ||
But yeah, I was just trying to make a joke about the terrorists wanting to create Alex Jones. | ||
Yeah, well, I think they did. | ||
Fair enough. | ||
So Alex has really been out of shape about how everyone's lying about his court case, even though they're telling the truth about it and he's lying. | ||
Right, but they're lying, so he's telling the truth. | ||
But in order to really make it real that he tries to do a good job, that leads us to where we had our cliffhanger. | ||
Meanwhile, I didn't get to this clip yesterday. | ||
We're going to play it when we come back. | ||
unidentified
|
We're going to play it when we come back. | |
When I'm wrong, I'm wrong. | ||
And when I made a mistake, I admit it. | ||
And I've got egg all over my face. | ||
Alex Jones is not always right. | ||
And I'm ashamed of myself. | ||
And I don't say that to like, oh, look, he's ashamed of himself. | ||
I mean, that's how I feel. | ||
Good. | ||
unidentified
|
And... | |
I need to admit that. | ||
I wish he felt that way more generally. | ||
Yeah. | ||
As opposed to, like, in this very niche-specific situation. | ||
And I think we're gonna, as we look at this apology, I think we're very clearly going to see he is not apologizing for anything. | ||
Right. | ||
He is transitioning a narrative. | ||
Sure, sure. | ||
And also blaming everybody but himself. | ||
It's not his fault. | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
He was trying. | ||
He was striving, and he just got bad information from all the liars out there. | ||
Some, somewhat, that's part of his angle. | ||
There's other parts of it, too. | ||
That's amazing to me. | ||
I mean, it obviously has to be that he's not actually ashamed. | ||
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
But the idea that he could be, like, ashamed, in terms of, like, what a relative ashamedment is, you know? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Like, what is my shame relative to what that man must feel? | ||
If he feels shame. | ||
He feels no shame. | ||
Exactly. | ||
I think when he talks about I feel ashamed, it's a missed opportunity. | ||
Right. | ||
I think that's what he's really expressing is like, I whiffed on this one. | ||
There was another way I could have covered this. | ||
Right. | ||
And I really think I fucked up based on my own brand. | ||
Right. | ||
That's basically the long and short of what we're going to get to. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I mean, he's going to say- I mean, we talked about that on the first episode covering this stuff. | ||
Totally. | ||
It's like, this is completely alien to Alex's coverage. | ||
No, he's going to apologize for trying to tell the truth. | ||
Yes. | ||
Yes. | ||
That's correct. | ||
That's exactly what he's going to do. | ||
Yeah, and also that he was too tired to go to Uvalde. | ||
Get the fuck out of here! | ||
He was going to go, but he was too tired. | ||
Oh, he's tired. | ||
unidentified
|
I am tired. | |
And I did want to get in the car and drive three hours to Uvalde. | ||
And I just want to believe in Texas and I want to believe in police and I want to believe in the system. | ||
Because I know that that old system's not perfect but it's under attack. | ||
So I got up here on air and I regurgitated the official story. | ||
And even after the evidence came out that it was a lie, I just lazily went along with it. | ||
So there's a couple points I want to make clear before Alex tries to do any kind of apologizing. | ||
The first is that he did not just go along with the mainstream official narrative, which happened to end up being inaccurate. | ||
Alex was all over the place, treating 4chan hoaxes as serious reporting and making up that the shooting wasn't a shooting but was really a hostage situation. | ||
Alex can easily be forgiven for the things that he misreported based on faulty information that was coming from official sources. | ||
But if he expects anyone to take his correction slash apology seriously, he needs to actually understand what he did that was wrong. | ||
He'll never do that because it really penetrates his entire facade if he lets the audience in on the fun secret that he's just making shit up all the time. | ||
The second thing that's important to point out here is that Alex is literally admitting on air that he reported information that he knew to be inaccurate because he didn't want to criticize the cops. | ||
Alex recognized that the left and all of his imagined enemies were being very critical of the police, so he tried to be the opposite of that, defending the police even when he knew that what he was saying was a lie. | ||
Right. | ||
If you listen to this show and you take Alex at all seriously, this should be a massive wake-up call. | ||
This is not Alex saying that he got something wrong. | ||
It's him saying that he actively and knowingly lied on air because it was better for the position he wanted to take. | ||
It may feel like he's doing a correction that somehow indicates that this is a unique situation, but that's nonsense. | ||
He's already couching this as an apology for regurgitating the mainstream media's narrative, which is an effort to pretend to take responsibility while ultimately shifting the blame away from yourself onto the media. | ||
Well, I mean, he literally just said that it was lazily. | ||
I lazily reported things that I knew were a lie. | ||
He said, I knew those were false. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But then I went along with the official story lazily. | ||
Because he was tired. | ||
As though that's a thing you can do. | ||
Oh, no, no, no, no. | ||
I was just too lazy to tell the truth today, so I figured what I'd do is go with the official lie. | ||
A far more reasonable thing to say in a situation like this is, I mean, like what most media outlets would probably say, and that is... | ||
You know, we got reporting that came from sources that are official, and it was inaccurate. | ||
Yep. | ||
We didn't have an avenue to dig further into this. | ||
Right. | ||
It's a very serious situation. | ||
It's our first time discovering that the cops lie. | ||
We've never seen that before, so it's really blowing our minds, you know? | ||
Right. | ||
But look, here's the thing. | ||
I think that even though a lot of outlets miscovered this in terms of just basic factual information... | ||
They also were reporting, this is what the spokespeople are telling us. | ||
Yes. | ||
Which is true. | ||
On a basic level, that is true. | ||
When they say reportedly, or official sources have said, they're not saying or making it up. | ||
They're not coming up with their own narrative and then saying that official sources said it. | ||
They're repeating the official narrative. | ||
Yeah, but then as a way of taking stock of that and after the fact owning up to the mistake that was made, it's very easy to take an inventory of the things that were done. | ||
Alex can't do that because in reality, recognizing the things that he did aren't the same as other media outlets. | ||
One thing that he didn't even bring up. | ||
He said it was the media lying. | ||
He said it's the media lying. | ||
He didn't bring up that the cops themselves were lying. | ||
He kind of touches on that a little bit later. | ||
Okay, good. | ||
But yeah, it is a murky gray area for him because everything needs to be the media's fault. | ||
It's got to be the media who is lying, but they were... | ||
You know, it's all stelter. | ||
Yep. | ||
Somehow. | ||
Of course it was. | ||
I knew it. | ||
But you know, look, he's going to tell you all about it right after these commercial messages. | ||
And I'll tell you the rest on the other side. | ||
I'll be completely honest, because it's not just about me. | ||
It's about understanding the thought process that we're all having. | ||
But Uvalde smells bad, guys. | ||
And I'll just say it when we come back. | ||
unidentified
|
Stay with us. | |
All right. | ||
False flag. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
That is... | ||
It's the longest way we've ever gotten to the place we were always going to be. | ||
Right. | ||
I mean, it's an inevitability. | ||
The sun rises, you have to pay taxes, and Alex is going to say something because it's a fucking false flag. | ||
We took so long! | ||
Yeah. | ||
So when I see this being treated as like an apology or correction, I really, really don't feel like that is what this is. | ||
It is a, I could have gotten away with calling this a false flag. | ||
And look at all of these dynamics that would have really fed into my ability to grandstand, and I didn't because of... | ||
Sandy Hook. | ||
Maybe? | ||
Or maybe it's because he loves the cops. | ||
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
Or maybe it's because he's proud of Texas. | ||
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
Who knows? | ||
Could be anything. | ||
Maybe it's the lawsuits. | ||
Maybe it's the lawsuits. | ||
Maybe on a school shooting where you are already being sued for lying about one, you don't lie this time. | ||
And it turns out this is the perfect and only time to lie. | ||
Well, I have... | ||
This friend of mine. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Who is the Piranha of Liberty. | ||
Piranha of Liberty. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
And he tells me that it is not because of the lawsuits. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
Very literally, and we'll hear that a little bit later. | ||
No, he does not say that. | ||
Oh, for fuck's sakes. | ||
The only reason you would say it's not because of the lawsuits is because you know it's because of the lawsuits. | ||
And you know that everybody is going to see through that very transparently. | ||
Yes, obviously. | ||
So, Alex comes back from break, and... | ||
I think he has some pretty dumb thoughts. | ||
unidentified
|
I see the lens of the world through my own eyes, so do you. | |
The Bible says we all see through a rose-colored darkly. | ||
Real quick, it's through the glass darkly. | ||
Rose-colored glasses are a different... | ||
He's mixing metaphors here. | ||
He's tossing them all in there. | ||
And so, no amount of intimidation, no amount of threats, no amount of attacks is going to make me change what I say and I do. | ||
And so, two weeks ago, when the tragic event unfolded in Uvalde, Texas, with 19 children and two teachers killed, there were publications everywhere saying, will Alex Jones say this is a false flag? | ||
Will Alex Jones say this was staged? | ||
Because Jones always says it's staged. | ||
No, I don't always say it's staged. | ||
Yeah, you do. | ||
Yeah, you do. | ||
But I also don't think there were publications everywhere. | ||
No. | ||
I can't imagine how narcissistic you have to be to think that the first thing on people's minds who are in the media when a tragedy happens is like, I wonder if Alex is going to say this is fake. | ||
That might be one of the first things on my mind, but I am in a very niche space. | ||
And I will tell you, it is not the first thing on my mind. | ||
No. | ||
The tragedy is obviously far more important than, oh, I wonder what Alex is going to say about this. | ||
I get to that thought eventually, much quicker than most, I will say. | ||
Sure, sure, but that's something that you have to get to. | ||
Like something in the garage that you have to go pick up and you have to mow the lawn. | ||
Your first thought is not, oh, I better go mow the lawn. | ||
After I get over the horror of the situation and try and get a handle on what's going on, then maybe I'll be like... | ||
And it's not like Alex is going to say this is fake. | ||
Honestly, my reaction is more like... | ||
Fuck, Alex is gonna be an asshole. | ||
Yep. | ||
Like, whatever it is is gonna be awful to listen to. | ||
I dread opening up those episodes. | ||
We were not concerned if he was going to say that it's a false flag. | ||
We were concerned that he was going to blame somebody who was trans who had nothing to do with it. | ||
Which he did that night. | ||
And there we go. | ||
You know, that's the type of shit that we're worried about. | ||
Not whether or not you think it's a false fucking flag. | ||
Is who are you going to hurt because of it? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And, yeah, I mean, it is, again, just like a manifestation of his narcissism. | ||
And, quite frankly, the way that he's behaving here already on this apology, it gives credence to the idea that people would have a reason to speculate whether or not he's going to call something a false flag. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
Absurd. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So, Alex thinks he was just covering what the mainstream media was putting out, which, again, it's absolutely not true. | ||
I mean, in his mind, yes. | ||
Just because he made up some stuff along the way, that's just him... | ||
Adding a little zoos to his mainstream. | ||
That's reading between the lines. | ||
Exactly, yeah, yeah. | ||
Yeah, I guess. | ||
Maybe if you're really generous. | ||
And the list goes on and on. | ||
We have the Buffalo white supremacist shooter, turns out was in constant communication with a former federal agent. | ||
That obviously leads to provocateuring, leans towards that. | ||
Obviously. | ||
So, just because I've been sued by the Democratic Party for questioning mass shootings, is it the reason... | ||
I came out two weeks ago on Tuesday after it happened and said, well, the police say that they chased him in there and engaged him and a hero, Border Patrol agent, killed him within 12 minutes. | ||
And then, well, he was barricaded inside there and we're not sure. | ||
It was 45 minutes and then it was 60 minutes and then it was 70 minutes. | ||
Now it's 75 minutes that they stood outside, the state police, local police, all of them, and held the families back, and they lied about it for a week. | ||
And finally, the head of the DPS went down there and said, I was misled. | ||
And the governor said he was misled. | ||
And then I said, okay, it looks like we were lied to. | ||
But I should have gotten in a car, and I should have gone down there. | ||
It's three hours away. | ||
And I should have interviewed people like I used to do. | ||
It's interesting to think that there's a chance that Alex really thinks that all he was doing was reporting what the media covered. | ||
There's a small possibility that's really what he feels, but it's not true. | ||
The night of the shooting, Alex's coverage wasn't based on any news. | ||
It was based on a transphobic 4chan hoax and his knee-jerk insistence that the shooter was on mind-control psych meds, something he was making up and wasn't based on any reporting and he still can't demonstrate now. | ||
He did get some things wrong because of misstatements by officials, and I've tried to be overly fair in pointing out instances where he's been wrong, but there's no reason to expect him to have known that what he was saying was inaccurate. | ||
That has happened a bit, but larger picture, a lot of the stuff he's been wrong about aren't things that he was wrong about because of an honest mistake. | ||
There have been things that he was wrong about because the shit he was saying wasn't based on anything. | ||
It was just out of nowhere. | ||
Even as time went on and he needed to explain away inconsistencies and new information, Alex didn't report things based on the mainstream media or the official narrative. | ||
When the initial timeline began to fall apart, he had Tim Inlow, his former Blackwater security guard, come on the show and give out anonymously sourced information that helped Alex reframe things as a hostage situation. | ||
That wasn't CNN or even Fox News. | ||
I mean, he even said he had inside sources that were his alone! | ||
Yeah, it was his security guard gathering information from sources which Alex took and created his own story out of. | ||
That's independent reporting, my friend. | ||
No, no, no, that's the mainstream media. | ||
He was just repeating the mainstream media. | ||
The mistakes Alex has made in this entire situation are his own fault, largely speaking. | ||
There are a few mistakes that he made that are ultimately completely forgivable because... | ||
Because there are mistakes that almost any reporter would make. | ||
And I think that what Alex wants to pretend all of his shit is, is that. | ||
That's what he wants to do. | ||
He wants the same pass that actual above-board reporters want. | ||
Despite the fact that we know explicitly from their depositions that they are not journalists. | ||
Well, it depends on which deposition. | ||
Well, it depends on which day. | ||
Second point. | ||
No good would ever come out of Alex going to Uvalde. | ||
Mm-hmm. | ||
Mm-hmm. | ||
When the video is mostly him complaining about seatbelt laws, that would be the best case scenario of him going to Uvalde. | ||
Some kind of disrespectful and self-serving publicity stunt. | ||
Also, nothing about the Buffalo shooting, the shooter engaging with a retired federal agent indicates that there was provocateuring. | ||
If anything, it indicates that there's a retired federal agent who's a racist. | ||
Yeah, a monster. | ||
That's not signs of provocateuring, Alex. | ||
But he's bringing that in, and he's establishing that. | ||
As a precedent that he can use to say that this was a false flag. | ||
Of course. | ||
It follows almost an identical path to the Aurora shooting being used in advance of Sandy Hook. | ||
There is a similar relationship here where Alex can talk about things that have to do with the Buffalo shooting and the provocateuring of it, and the audience is meant to imply it in their head. | ||
There's the direct connection that's being drawn. | ||
And as we know from listening back to a lot of the Sandy Hook period, There were periods of time where he was not comfortable necessarily directly talking about Sandy Hook because of the horror of it. | ||
So you'd say, it could be fake. | ||
Who knows? | ||
We know the Aurora one is fake. | ||
And so it feels very similar. | ||
Yeah, it's a little bit like a placemat. | ||
These two pictures find the things that are different about them. | ||
It is like he has two completely different pictures and he's like, find the things that are the same about them. | ||
Sure. | ||
It's a completely different picture of a completely different person. | ||
But if you see they've got an earring, they've both got earrings, it's the same thing. | ||
But what if one of the pictures, it doesn't have an earring, but what if you just draw an earring? | ||
Well, then you've got a victory. | ||
Hey. | ||
What if you just imagine there's an earring? | ||
Well, then it's a lot easier to win the puzzle. | ||
What if you yell at anybody who tells you that there isn't an earring? | ||
Well, then you will be rich. | ||
unidentified
|
A millionaire. | |
Yeah, exactly. | ||
So look, it's not because he's getting sued. | ||
No, of course not. | ||
I wouldn't assume that. | ||
I mean, he does say it a second time. | ||
Oh, if he said it a second time. | ||
I did not do it because I've been sued for asking questions. | ||
I still said Jussie Smollett and Bubba Wallace were staged, and we still think something staged. | ||
unidentified
|
Say it. | |
But I still kind of just stayed out of it because it's such a toxic situation. | ||
And if it happens again like this, we won't be like that. | ||
So I subconsciously backed off of this. | ||
Because it's so painful. | ||
I mean, who wants to be around something like that? | ||
The grieving parents and others. | ||
I'm not impressed that he would invalidate accusations of racist acts. | ||
It's not surprising that he would call Jussie Smollett fake, and he still doesn't even understand what happened in the Bubba Wallace situation. | ||
So he can claim that as a victory when it's just his knee-jerk racism. | ||
So there's some real mixed signals going on in that clip. | ||
That's a man who has a background report that nobody even knows where it came from. | ||
Yeah, like a hundred-something page long. | ||
Pretending that he gives a shit about grieving. | ||
I know that Alex is saying that his actions weren't influenced by the fact that he's being sued for lying about an elementary school shooting, but everything he says after that makes me think that his actions were deeply influenced by the fact that he's being sued for lying about an elementary school shooting. | ||
He says that he stayed out of it, and that if something like this happens again, his actions will be different. | ||
That heavily implies that there's something that was making him not cover this situation the way he wanted to, and I don't believe for a second it has anything to do with grieving parents. | ||
No, it was subconscious. | ||
It was subconscious. | ||
It wasn't a conscious decision, Dan. | ||
He's shown nothing but disrespect for grieving families in the past, so that's a load of bullshit. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
Alex needs his audience to think that he's not been weakened by the Sandy Hook cases, so he'll ultimately be as defensive as he needs to be about that issue on air. | ||
He won't ever directly say that he didn't want to get sued again so he wasn't going to call the shooting fake, because to do so would be to tell the audience that he's not authentic, and he shifts his reporting based on personal whims. | ||
Now, you might be thinking that he already said that he didn't cover this correctly because he had faith in the police in Texas, and that's admitting the same thing. | ||
But here's the difference. | ||
In that case, the reason he covered shit wrong is because he had a faith in things that the audience can get behind. | ||
They love the cops and they think Texas should be its own country. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
Conversely, in the case of Alex changing his coverage because of fear of lawsuits, that's Alex being weak. | ||
That's him selling out. | ||
And if you accept that he did that, you have to accept that he might not cover all sorts of issues or might cover other stories knowingly, inaccurately because of some fear that he has about consequences that the system could inflict. | ||
How can Alex possibly be a person who's willing to die fighting the globalists if he's willing to fundamentally change his coverage out of fear of losing some money? | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
Like, it's completely knocks out the underpinnings of his own fake personality. | ||
Cannot admit that he will change his behavior for anything. | ||
I mean, it doesn't matter how bad it is. | ||
It doesn't matter what it is. | ||
He can't say that I have learned a lesson because he's presented himself to his audience as someone who can't learn lessons because they already know everything. | ||
And he can't learn lessons because he wasn't wrong. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
And for him to then have to be wrong and afraid? | ||
I'm not going to follow that, dude. | ||
No. | ||
So I think that obviously the conclusion that we can come to is that he changed the way he covered this story out of a fear of getting sued again. | ||
Yep. | ||
And it's painfully obvious now to his audience and the way that things have gone with the changing statements and the timeline shifting and what have you. | ||
It's right in his sweet spot and there's a glaring question of why didn't you? | ||
And now he kind of has to figure out a way to... | ||
Like, yeah, I really should have. | ||
Well, I trusted the police! | ||
Yeah, this is such a weird situation for him. | ||
But I do think the way that you summed it up was pretty good. | ||
That, like, I tried to tell the truth. | ||
I know! | ||
It is that! | ||
It really is! | ||
It is him being like, man, this was the time for me to say it's a false flag because legally they couldn't do shit. | ||
The cops are lying, so if you want to get on me, you gotta sue them asses! | ||
You know? | ||
Like, that kind of thing. | ||
Sure, and there's many ways of, you know, accusing something of being fake that aren't legally actionable. | ||
Like, there's plenty of ways he could have done that, but because of the circumstances that are surrounding him legally, he is too gun-shy. | ||
Yeah, you know, I think the irony of this is that because he didn't call it a false flag, more people are gonna stop listening to him. | ||
Maybe. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Maybe. | ||
I think that... | ||
What a coward! | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So, look, you dropped the ball here. | ||
We dropped the ball. | ||
We gave the police the benefit of the doubt because it's Texas and the police have been under attack and I want to believe in the police. | ||
But the head police chief of the school district there is in hiding. | ||
He was already elected to the city council. | ||
He won't talk to the press. | ||
He won't talk to the state police for Texas Rangers. | ||
He won't talk to the feds. | ||
And who knows what happened? | ||
Because it turns out there weren't police in there for an hour. | ||
It turns out they weren't outside the barricaded door. | ||
They now say none of that was true. | ||
So what the normal media did was give the police the benefit of the doubt. | ||
That's not what Alex did. | ||
Also, I have no idea what he's saying, that there were no police at the school. | ||
I don't know. | ||
That's not accurate at all. | ||
I mean, but now we're free. | ||
He's completely creating a new thing. | ||
Yeah, now we're free. | ||
I've said I've apologized for not calling it a false flag. | ||
Now I'm free to make up whatever bullshit I want. | ||
And almost spitefully. | ||
I'm looking at the comments section on this video, because Alex released this section as a standalone thing on Bandot Video. | ||
That's Alex Jones admits he was wrong about Uvalde shooting. | ||
And going through here, somebody, I heard there are no birth records for those kids in Uvalde. | ||
Is that true? | ||
We're cooking. | ||
There we go. | ||
Getting some of these breadcrumbs. | ||
A lot of shout-outs for Steve Pachanek. | ||
Wow. | ||
unidentified
|
I guess Las Vegas didn't happen. | |
I guess we're going to bring that back. | ||
Oh, my God. | ||
Is Steve Pachanek going to come back and talk about this? | ||
Maybe. | ||
Wow. | ||
The door seems open. | ||
It's wide open now. | ||
Based on the comment section. | ||
Holy shit. | ||
And I think you can get a little bit of a temperature. | ||
Nobody died. | ||
That's another comment. | ||
Great. | ||
Great. | ||
Yep. | ||
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
Yeah, these are all people who are like, finally, he's going to claim it's a false flag now, and I'm going to feel smart. | ||
Seems like there's a bit of excitement. | ||
I'm going to feel so smart, because I'm smarter than Alex. | ||
Right. | ||
Yep. | ||
I hope that leads to some non-retention. | ||
You would hope. | ||
So, look, he's now shifting things, and now Alex is blaming these police. | ||
Good. | ||
On what planet do we live for 70-plus minutes? | ||
Hundreds of police stand around. | ||
Sitting on their hands. | ||
That's a nice way of saying it. | ||
With their thumbs in their rear ends. | ||
That's a less nice way of saying it? | ||
Because the head cop of the school district said so, who it turns out wasn't in radio communication, and who it turns out wasn't even on the scene. | ||
That's dereliction of duty. | ||
That is serious. | ||
Negligence. | ||
And I want him indicted for negligence. | ||
And I want him indicted for fraud. | ||
And I want everybody else that lied in trouble. | ||
Because if we don't keep the police... | ||
Yeah, tell me. | ||
Tell me what. | ||
Tell me what. | ||
That doesn't mean when the left goes after him for no reason. | ||
Fuck you. | ||
But this is shameful. | ||
And this is disgusting. | ||
So it strikes me that this is ultimately completely thin and false, and I think there are two contributing factors for that. | ||
One, Alex exaggerates everything because he desperately wants to make his show more interesting. | ||
And two, Alex feels the need to exaggerate this situation so it makes his audience more able to criticize the police. | ||
By using hyperbole, Alex is able to distinguish his complaints about the situation from the complaints his audience might hear from the left or the mainstream media or people who are supposed to be globalists. | ||
Because when they criticize the police response, Alex wants to have something distinctive from them in order to provide that. | ||
Above all, despite the fact that right now, we can all, across ideological lines, agree the cops fucked up. | ||
I think we can all agree that there's definitely very, very strong indications of that, and there should be a thorough investigation of what happened. | ||
Right. | ||
But Alex still can't agree with that. | ||
No. | ||
It has to be something different. | ||
It needs to be more extreme, it needs to be above that, and it needs to be a narrative of his own. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
For instance, Alex says that the commander wasn't even there, which isn't true. | ||
Pete Arredondo was on the scene, and he was one of the first inside the school. | ||
He didn't have his radio with him, but part of his explanation for that was that he didn't think that he was the commander on scene, and that some other agency was taking the lead, and he was supposed to be there acting as a first responder. | ||
Now, whether or not you believe that or not, or think that that's appropriate or not, that is an explanation that he has given for why he didn't have a radio, and then Alex is just completely wrong about him not being there. | ||
Yeah, he's wrong about that. | ||
There are very valid and productive arguments to make against the police response that could, in theory, lead to discussions about how to improve things, but Alex's critiques are mostly surrounding fake issues. | ||
If you're a listener of this show and you hear indignation about how the police chief wasn't even there... | ||
You're going to be poorly prepared to have a conversation about this. | ||
Whatever points you're going to try to make about the police response probably aren't going to be taken too seriously if he wasn't even there. | ||
It's part of your list of grievances. | ||
People are just like, oh, you don't know what you're talking about. | ||
Well, I mean, that's a good one, though, to put in there early. | ||
Because that'll be real good when you claim it's a false flag. | ||
Like, the guy who was telling people to stand down wasn't even there, and then he lied and said he was there? | ||
Obviously that's a false flag, you know? | ||
That makes sense. | ||
Sure. | ||
I mean, it'll just be... | ||
It's not going to be good, but it'll be there. | ||
No. | ||
And I honestly want to say that I think that there's a very decent chance that Alex doesn't pursue this line too much further. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Like, I don't know if there's much of a market for him now in a conspiracy theory, but there is some in establishing a new narrative surrounding this, so if something else happens down the road, he can be on the Alex Jones side of this as opposed to the weird side that he's been on here. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So look, man. | ||
There might be a conspiracy going on. | ||
Oh, finally. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Finally! | ||
But this is shameful, and this is disgusting! | ||
And quite frankly, who the hell knows what happened? | ||
I'm really suspicious now of this police chief. | ||
I'm really suspicious of the whole thing and the timing and the midterms and all of it. | ||
And you got the white supremacist with the feds and all of it. | ||
And that's being covered up. | ||
Is the average cop mad? | ||
No, they fall in orders and stood there. | ||
These moms had better instincts. | ||
Yeah, so you have this storyline about the Buffalo shooting, and he's working with the feds, and this is being covered up. | ||
The timing, the midterms. | ||
The midterms. | ||
Yeah, so you're getting all these pieces of the standard Infowars false flag conspiracy starting to gravitate and circle around this story. | ||
And, I mean, honestly, it's just sad. | ||
Because we all knew we were going to get here. | ||
I know. | ||
I mean, you remember, like, you were confused for a second about, like, he wants to call this a false flag. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
Absolutely. | ||
We knew this was inevitable. | ||
You could feel it in his words. | ||
While he was talking, you could feel his shoulders start to shake when, like, he tried to get it out. | ||
There's a very similar dynamic to when, like, before Stefan Molyneux said that he was a white nationalist. | ||
Like, everybody's like... | ||
Can you just get to the point where you say this is your white nationalist already? | ||
Come on, buddy. | ||
Just go to Poland. | ||
Just go. | ||
So you can come out with it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And now Alex has come out with his... | ||
Maybe this is a false flag. | ||
There's a conspiracy going on. | ||
unidentified
|
The timing, the midterms, the buffalo shooting, the feds, cover up! | |
It's all there, man. | ||
He has come up with bullshit and connected those bullshits in order to create the appearance of a conspiracy, but the tax that he's putting into this board... | ||
Aren't real. | ||
And the string is fake. | ||
It's all nonsense. | ||
Yeah, this is going to go down as one of the more surreal couple weeks of InfoWars coverage in their entire history. | ||
Probably. | ||
Because they were trying to tell the truth. | ||
I mean... | ||
I think... | ||
I agree with you, but it's too generous to say trying to tell the truth. | ||
I understand. | ||
Because there was still some bullshit in there. | ||
They were trying to do... | ||
A better, based on what we would describe as better job of journalism. | ||
So Alex is ashamed of himself. | ||
But that's not all. | ||
There's also a state, nay, a country that he's ashamed of. | ||
Which one? | ||
I am so ashamed. | ||
Luxembourg? | ||
Of Texas. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
Country of Texas. | ||
unidentified
|
And I'm pissed. | |
Now, I don't know what went on down there. | ||
But for all we know, it could be MKUltra. | ||
For all we know, my God, yet again, man, just like the Whitmer case I thought was staged, turned out it was all fake! | ||
We need to find out what the hell's going on. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So we're back to, you know, before Pizzagate saying we gotta figure out what's going on with this stuff. | ||
Sandy Hook, same thing. | ||
We're gonna get to the bottom of this. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, the Whitmer thing wasn't all fake. | ||
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
But you can also see that is part of now the constellation of things that he's bringing in. | ||
And while he's talking about the Uvalde shooting, he's bringing in these other things that are safe for him to say are fake in order for him to sort of transpose the fakeness onto the Uvalde shooting until it's more safe for him to actually... | ||
Fully say that. | ||
I don't have to say this is fake. | ||
I've established a career of saying things are fake, so if I just imply, you got it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You fucking got it. | ||
It's very transparent. | ||
So we have one last clip here, and it's Alex getting pretty mad. | ||
And the police followed the criminal orders of that police chief who needs to be in handcuffs right now. | ||
Hey, I want to get arrested now. | ||
Arrest that son of a bitch right now! | ||
Right now! | ||
No more of this crap! | ||
I bitched out Florida for standing out for 14 minutes. | ||
Texas stands down for over 70. Shameful! | ||
Hashtag shameful! | ||
Wow. | ||
Shameful. | ||
That's strong words. | ||
Strong words from a man with a big vocabulary. | ||
Sad! | ||
Boo! | ||
unidentified
|
Again! | |
Um, yeah. | ||
I... | ||
I don't know. | ||
I feel like this is meant to be an apology correction. | ||
Sure. | ||
And what it ends up really being is, I knew I was right about this and I didn't say it because of something, but it's not the lawsuit. | ||
And you know who's really to blame? | ||
The media and the police. | ||
Yeah. | ||
They did me dirty. | ||
I'm always right still. | ||
Yeah, you can't apologize and be vindicated simultaneously. | ||
That is not how that goes. | ||
It does on InfoWars, baby. | ||
That is true. | ||
It's true. | ||
You're right. | ||
I am apologizing because I was too right all the time. | ||
I apologize for being self-aggrandizing right now, but I won't! | ||
But, you know, I think there is something very, very fascinating about this dynamic that is, you know, on a certain level, when Alex makes things up, it's full of shit and irresponsible and dangerous. | ||
And when he tries to do what normal reporters might do, he can't, and he still fucks it up. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
And we end up here. | ||
It's like somebody was taking a baby step towards learning a lesson. | ||
You know, like, okay, I got it. | ||
Sandy Hook is gonna fuck my brain out. | ||
So guess what I'm gonna do? | ||
I'm gonna button down. | ||
I'm gonna really try on this one. | ||
And I know your face says that no. | ||
But I'm giving you... | ||
That's not what the look was. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm giving you... | |
The look was that... | ||
The lesson isn't, or it shouldn't be, Sandy Hook is going to ruin me. | ||
It should be, what I did was wrong. | ||
Exactly. | ||
Exactly. | ||
He learned the wrong lesson, and then applied it, and then learned another wrong lesson, which was, I should have just been an asshole. | ||
Right. | ||
I should have just been a slightly different kind of asshole, because I've betrayed my brand, and now I have to explain why I didn't do the thing that everybody knew I was going to do eventually. | ||
Of course. | ||
Yeah, it's pathetic. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, man. | |
That sucks. | ||
Yeah. | ||
This is what happens when conspiracy theorists are brought low. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
I mean, oh, what tangled webs we weave doesn't even come close to handling this shit. | ||
Shakespeare was a moron if he thinks that meant anything when Alex is in the fucking web. | ||
Very, very sad. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Shameful! | ||
unidentified
|
Shameful! | |
So, I think, you know, I'm not... | ||
I'm not sure it was as revelatory as some other things that... | ||
Also, I got mad at Florida. | ||
Right. | ||
I got mad at Florida! | ||
Right. | ||
The state of Florida. | ||
The whole thing. | ||
unidentified
|
I sent out my I'm pissed off at Florida bar. | |
Dear Florida. | ||
I got him! | ||
We're going to sell you back to Spain! | ||
Also, the rest of the show is Alex interviewing and having on a guy who's a tax weirdo. | ||
I believe it's the guy who runs his Infowars tax help or whatever. | ||
So it's just brokered content for the tax stuff. | ||
But yeah, I don't know if this is as educational necessarily as some other things that we've focused in more on. | ||
But I do think that there is pretty complete an arc. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
That has happened since the shooting. | ||
And that did go differently than a lot of times in Alex's career, based on exactly what you're describing as him trying to tell the truth. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And you see that all roads lead to Rome, and Rome is calling his sake. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
Yep. | ||
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
Kind of depressing. | ||
You know, I mean, this wasn't so much like the information heavy as it was almost a character study. | ||
You know, this is a slice of life kind of what happens whenever people stop, you know, acting fake and start getting real. | ||
So it was real world Austin? | ||
I'm pretty sure that's what this was. | ||
That was a season, I think. | ||
Oh. | ||
I can't remember who was on that. | ||
Probably somebody cool. | ||
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
Never mind. | ||
Nope. | ||
Can't remember what season is what. | ||
Anyway, Jordan, we will be back for another episode in the post-Alex apology world. | ||
But until then, we have a website. | ||
We do. | ||
It's knowledgefight.com. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
We're also on Twitter. | ||
We are on Twitter. | ||
It's at knowledge underscore fight, and I go to bed, Jordan. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
We'll be back. | ||
But until then, I'm Neo. | ||
I'm Leo. | ||
I'm DZX Clark. | ||
I hope you all have a dreamy, creamy summer. | ||
And now here comes the sex robot. | ||
Andy in Kansas. | ||
You're on the air. | ||
Thanks for holding. | ||

I'm a huge fan. | |
I love your work. |
