Today, Jordan is still on vaction, so Dan recruits the hosts of the Dollop, Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds, to fill in. In this installment, Dan takes Dave and Gareth back to the day their first episode was released, to see what Alex was up to.

|---|---|---|
| Hey everybody, this is Dan. | ||
| Hello. | ||
| I just wanted to drop in and give a little bit of a note before this episode begins. | ||
| And the reason for that is because I kind of screwed up a little bit on the recording of this episode. | ||
| And so some of the levels are a little bit iffy. | ||
| I've been using a technology that shan't be named unless I be shading. | ||
| Some business. | ||
| But for remote recording, and it seemed like everything was totally fine as we were recording. | ||
| And our guests actually very generously offered to record on their end. | ||
| And because I had so much confidence in this tech, I thought, like, ah, there's no need to. | ||
| This has worked just fine in the past. | ||
| And unfortunately, some of the audio is a little bit over... | ||
| It's a little bit distorted, but it still sounds fine. | ||
| It's just a little bit... | ||
| It could be a little cleaner. | ||
| Anyway, this is a rambling, long-winded way for me to just give you a heads up about that and to take responsibility for the sound. | ||
| I messed up a little bit. | ||
| Anyway, we'll be back on Wednesday with a normal episode with Jordan back. | ||
| But for now, please enjoy this special app. | ||

Hello, Alex. | |

Knowledge Fight. | |

| I love you. | ||
| Hello, everybody. | ||
| Welcome back to a Knowledge Fight. | ||
| We are here. | ||
| We've just had a week of a break. | ||
| And if truth be told, I was under the impression that Jordan would be getting back over the weekend. | ||
| And that we could get back to work and do our job as normal. | ||
| This is not the case. | ||
| Jordan will not be back until Tuesday. | ||
| And so in order to get an episode out, I had to dig deep and find someone capable of filling the shoes of Jordan. | ||
| And it turns out I found two people. | ||
| Very excited to welcome to the podcast hosts of The Dollop, Gareth Reynolds and Dave Anthony. | ||
| Welcome, gentlemen. | ||
| Suck it, Jordan! | ||
| Yeah, Jordan's out. | ||
| This is a permanent thing, I think. | ||
| We're going to go trios? | ||
| I like it. | ||
| There's a great... | ||
| The way that we got it set up was pretty smooth. | ||
| So I feel like we're like... | ||
| There's a synergy. | ||
| Yeah, definitely. | ||
| So guys, I know that over the course of the time doing your podcast, you've touched on some of the... | ||
| I don't know, maybe some things that are connected to my world. | ||
| Like the Jade Helm episode. | ||
| Jade Helm, for sure. | ||
| Cliven Bundy, perhaps. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Our God. | ||
| Yeah, we did. | ||
| We've done two on the Bundys or three? | ||
| Two on the Bundys, right? | ||
| Two, yeah. | ||
| I was wondering, though, how much connection do you have to Alex Jones himself? | ||
| Zero. | ||
| Via the show, zero. | ||
| Offline, tons. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| We're very close to Alex. | ||
| He's a pal. | ||
| Dave and Alex are really good friends. | ||
| A lot of people say that they get Dave and Alex confused. | ||
| I think that your personalities would mesh amazingly. | ||
| I think the two of you would just get along. | ||
| We just, I would call it vibe. | ||
| We vibe. | ||
| And we have a lot of the same sort of philosophies and just outlooks on life. | ||
| And protein powders. | ||
| Climate change isn't real. | ||
| That's one of his big things. | ||
| That's me. | ||
| Lizard people? | ||
| Do you guys... | ||
| No, but I don't think we've really... | ||
| We've not really gotten into Alex ever. | ||
| If anything, it would be maybe just... | ||
| Not on the show. | ||
| Yeah, maybe just minorly on the show. | ||
| Yeah, a little bit. | ||
| I've always avoided him completely. | ||
| The only thing I really know about him is listening to your podcast. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'll pop in every once in a while to see what's going on with Alex Jones, but for the most part, I don't really pay attention to him. | ||
| And it seems like he's had a quiet couple weeks. | ||
| Yeah, it's been real tame. | ||
| He has, I think, abandoned Trump again. | ||
| So that's a good sign for the investigation and the FBI raid. | ||
| You know, I know someone who punched him and knocked him out. | ||
| Alex? | ||
| Charlie. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| 20 some odd years ago in Texas. | ||
| Is this Space Hitler? | ||
| No, this is a guy named Charlie. | ||
| I'm just loving the conversation we're having from the sidelines right now. | ||
| That might also be Space Hitler. | ||
| Is it Space Hitler? | ||
| No, Charlie is a guy who is associated with the festival in Austin, South by Southwest. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| He punched him, huh? | ||
| He fucking knocked him down. | ||
| They were working at radio stations, I believe, and they got into it one night, and Charlie Deckerman, Charlie to this day, still gets free beers in Austin for having done that. | ||
| You get local hero status when you... | ||
| That's pretty awesome. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| I mean, look, I'm not thrilled with violence at any point, but if it's violence 20 years ago and it's funny, I guess it's cool. | ||
| I would like to say that I am thrilled with violence. | ||
| I'm just happy to know there's a space Hitler. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think that might be the same guy. | ||
| Because there was a dude who would troll him on his public access show, and they ended up getting into a fight in a parking lot. | ||
| I think that Space Hitler was there, and that was the same night, and two guys hit. | ||
| I think Space Hitler was also involved. | ||
| A different guy, though. | ||
| How much that sounds like it would be something on Infowars, what just was said. | ||
| I think Space Hitler was there, but there were two guys in the parking lot that night. | ||
| Infowars.com. | ||
| Space Hitler was on the grassy knoll. | ||
| Space Hitler was on the grassy knoll. | ||
| He ate Kennedy's brains! | ||
| So you guys didn't even, like, even before, like, present days, you didn't have any kind of, like, impression of Alex Jones as a figure? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| Because he was somebody who existed. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| No, we've just never talked about him on the show, really. | ||
| But, yeah, obviously, I mean, it's hard to even remember when. | ||
| You first heard about him, but yeah, I mean, I've obviously been following his lunacy for, what, a better part of a decade, really. | ||
| Yeah, but I purposely got on my way not to watch anything. | ||
| I just don't watch anything with him, like when I see clips of him online. | ||
| But I've heard about him for a long time now, and I've definitely read a couple articles about him, and then your podcast. | ||
| I listened to both the documentary episodes, which were long but crazy. | ||
| Yeah, that got me subtweeted by the director. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, really? | |
| It's her, right? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| She did a terrible job. | ||
| She did a terrible job. | ||
| So, look, there's a lot going on with Alex in the present day. | ||
| Like you mentioned, slow week. | ||
| He's going through a lot of things. | ||
| He's having some tantrums. | ||
| But I felt like... | ||
| Getting into all that might be too much. | ||
| Might be throwing you guys into the deep end, and I didn't want to put you through that. | ||
| That's very sweet. | ||
| And so what I wanted to do is I wanted to do something a little bit special for you. | ||
| And, you know, a lot of times listeners will get in touch with us and ask us to do an episode about their birthday, like what happened on my birthday on Infowars. | ||
| And so what I figured I would do is I would take us back to April 25th, 2014. | ||
| The day you guys put out your first episode of The Dollop and see what Alex Jones was doing. | ||
| This is around, I mean, Jade Helm was starting to kick up. | ||
| I think that heat was a little bit more in the 15, though, right? | ||
| Wasn't it? | ||
| Was it? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I believe so. | ||
| The Bundy, I mean, our first episode's The Bundy, so it was right in the Bundy rage. | ||
| Oh, Bundy's will come up. | ||
| Yeah, he was there. | ||
| He was into that. | ||
| So yeah, there's a lot of news going on at that point in 2014. | ||
| There's plenty going on. | ||
| And I think we'll be disappointed to learn about what most of this episode ends up being about. | ||
| But let us dive in here at the beginning. | ||
| This is how Alex is starting off the show. | ||
| Ukrainian helicopter hit by a grenade taking off. | ||
| Ukraine helicopter has been crippled in a grenade attack in Kiev. | ||
| Warns Moscow is engineering a third world war. | ||
| That's one telegraph headline. | ||
| Did you hear that? | ||
| Third World War. | ||
| That is the Ukraine foreign minister that's saying that, by the way, and also their vice, El Presidente. | ||
| Ukraine foreign minister ready to fight Russia is the headline from the Associated Press. | ||
| So, yeah, we go back into the past and we see something pretty reminiscent of recent news. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's so rational. | ||
| So, that's one of the problems with him, is that sometimes he sounds like that, and then other times he's just screaming about shit that you're like, wait. | ||
| Well, here's the problem. | ||
| That's just him reading headlines. | ||
| There's no, like, interpretation. | ||
| It's pretty easy to sound fairly rational when you're just, like, cold reading, here is a thing that happened. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But then you get into the analysis of it, and it might be a little bit sillier here. | ||
| And that is him blaming, essentially, the West is what caused the 2014 outbreak of hostilities between Ukraine and Russia. | ||
| The West went in three months ago when Ukraine voted to not join with the EU and to be sucked dry by that spider and instead tried to stay somewhat neutral. | ||
| I don't want Ukraine sucked dry by the Russian spider or the globalist spider. | ||
| But the globalist spider is about, let's not exaggerate, about ten times bigger, fatter, older, more evil, and more anti-human. | ||
| I mean, the Russian spider is just happy to be in power and control of its own population. | ||
| It's trying to breed a larger Ruski population because it realizes that its own system is collapsing. | ||
| The globalist spider is a transhumanist power-tripping spider. | ||
| It believes it's God that is attacking anything decent. | ||
| I see you're trying to make sense of this, Dave. | ||
| You're tracking the thought. | ||
| I'm trying to track the thought, and it's very hard to track, but I will say I do like the idea of calling the EU a spider. | ||
| It's got a web! | ||
| It's gonna suck you dry! | ||
| I like the sucking dry spider. | ||
| It's almost like... | ||
| I mean, you know how it is when you do a podcast. | ||
| You'll say some stuff and you'll be like, that didn't make sense. | ||
| And you kind of let it die. | ||
| He's quadrupling down on the spider talk. | ||
| To the point where, because he's so insane, towards the end, you're like, I think he might actually think there's the spiders that are doing this. | ||
| Yeah, he just watched Wild Wild West the night before. | ||
| He was on some cough syrup. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kevin Kline is behind the spiders. | |
| Kevin Kline was just elected to the UN Council. | ||
| So yeah, you have this worldview and this presentation that is fairly consistent throughout time. | ||
| That is, you know, anything that involves Russia ends up being everybody else's fault. | ||
| And that's not to say that he is like, you know, obviously is not on the Russian payroll or anything like that. | ||
| But he is deeply into making excuses for everything that involves Russia. | ||
| He's also saying Russia is collapsing at the same time. | ||
| True, but it's in a sympathetic way, I think. | ||
| Okay, so they're the big victim, sort of? | ||
| They're the victim spider. | ||
| Yeah, they're the victim spider. | ||
| Come on, it's a classic victim spider situation. | ||
| Come on, you know what I mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You gotta help the victim spider. | |
| Yeah, so with the taking of Crimea and that kind of actions that were happening, their collapsing is kind of an excuse for why they would take these oil-rich areas and these resources. | ||
| It's like, ah, they're collapsing. | ||
| They need to do this. | ||
| They need to breed more Russians. | ||
| Yeah, Russian spiders. | ||
| Breed more Russians. | ||
| Literally, no one's ever said that. | ||
| They need to breed more Russians. | ||
| They're doing that at my Humane Society. | ||
| So, you guys may not be the best prognosticators on this front, but do you think that Alex thinks the outbreak between Ukraine and Russia is real? | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Oh, this 2014 fight or the one today? | ||
| 2014. | ||
| 2014. | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh, God, no. | ||
| He said it involved something being shot down, right? | ||
| Then there's no way it's real. | ||
| Yeah, it's false. | ||
| If anything's shot down out of the sky, then, Alex, it's not real. | ||
| It can't be real. | ||
| False flag spider. | ||
| It's too similar to Black Hawk Down. | ||
| It's all fake. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Well, here we go. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| But we've always known that a large global war is what's supposed to bring in the final world government. | ||
| That's what the globalists have said themselves. | ||
| And now it looks like they're trying to do it. | ||
| They may have some backroom deal with Putin, and this may be staged. | ||
| My gut tells me it's not. | ||
| Well, there we are. | ||
| The backroom deal being between Ukraine and Russia, or between the EU? | ||
| Which spiders, though? | ||
| There's three spiders involved. | ||
| I don't think Ukraine's a spider. | ||
| Ukraine's not a spider. | ||
| Ukraine's a fly. | ||
| Yeah, Ukraine's a fly. | ||
| So is he saying Russia and the EU are working together? | ||
| Yeah, he's saying the possibilities are that it's a real violent outbreak, or there's a backroom deal between the EU and Putin to split Ukraine in half. | ||
| It's just great because the way that he's able to bring that up and be like, I mean, my gut is that's not what's going on. | ||
| It's like, dude, you're not rational. | ||
| Look, that might be what's going on. | ||
| I'm open to that possibility, obviously. | ||
| Yeah, it would be like someone being like, yeah, you know, there's a lot of signs that alien invasion is right around the corner. | ||
| My gut says it's not. | ||
| My gut says it's not, but obviously it's very possible. | ||
| It's highly possible. | ||
| It seems like you only are talking about that distinct possibility that you don't think is correct. | ||
| You know what's going to be great? | ||
| What's going to be great one day is when he's just doing his show and he's going to collapse on the Infowars desk and his belly's just going to open up and you're going to find out that he was just a master egg for spiders and they're all going to crawl out of him. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| It was never a metaphor. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It was just the whole time. | ||
| He was living like Vincent D 'Onofrio in Men in Black his whole life. | ||
| So you might think, based on what we've heard so far, that this was going to be an episode that was largely about Russia and Ukraine. | ||
| And you can be forgiven for thinking that. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| It is not. | ||
| Things take a turn. | ||
| Alex is discussing how one of his reporters, David Knight, he has been taking some time off. | ||
| And because of that, he's ended up listening to some talk radio. | ||
| And this is some real chaos. | ||
| But he's been off the last few days moving. | ||
| And I guess out of one apartment into a house while they still try to buy a house. | ||
| And so he's been listening to talk radio. | ||
| He was listening to our local affiliate, 590 AM last night, because his brother-in-law out of North Carolina called him and said, you better go listen to Glenn Beck. | ||
| Well, it re-airs here locally. | ||
| And so he tuned in last night while packing the U-Haul. | ||
| And he said, you know, we've got to go into Glenn Beck's archive and find it. | ||
| But he said, this is really bad. | ||
| We have to do something about this. | ||
| And I said, what did he say? | ||
| He said, well, I'll just come in and tell you. | ||
| But he told me over the phone right before broadcast. | ||
| He's driving up here right now to be on the next segment or at the bottom of the hour. | ||
| This is an emergency. | ||
| Glenn Beck is talking some shit. | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| So he's calling in the guy who's taking time off to move. | ||
| Into a house because he's buying a different house. | ||
| He's having that guy come to the studio all his days off because Glenn Beck said some shit. | ||
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You nailed it. | |
| A lot of people are thinking there's not even a second house. | ||
| A lot of people are thinking that the second house is just kind of a false house. | ||
| It's actually a spider's nest. | ||
| It's a spider's nest, exactly. | ||
| I mean, the amount of detail, like, you could just be like, coming up next, we're going to talk about Glenn Beck. | ||
| But instead he's like, so he's moving from one house, he's listening to 590, but he's also leaving his apartment. | ||
| He's loading up the U-Haul. | ||
| He's on the way. | ||
| That's part of his magic, is that he throws in details about stuff that doesn't need details, and it makes him sound like he knows more than he really does. | ||
| But in this case, it actually convinces me a little bit that he's telling the truth about this guy moving and being inconvenienced. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| It seems real. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's like the accidental truth. | |
| You're like, I'm starting to think this guy might be moving. | ||
| That's all I'm buying. | ||
| And it sounds like Alex is a shitty boss. | ||
| Yeah, totally. | ||
| Yeah, to be like, I mean, I'm not sure what's going on. | ||
| He's taking three days to move. | ||
| It's just kind of fucking ridiculous. | ||
| And also, the guy apparently doesn't listen. | ||
| The only excuse he has to listen to radio is that he's moving. | ||
| Other than that, he's not supposed to listen to radio. | ||
| You want to motivate yourself when you're moving, so you throw on a little AM talk radio to just kind of get the gears in motion. | ||
| This story actually shifts a little bit as the episode goes on. | ||
| Later, we find out that David Knight's brother lives in another city, and he saw Glenn Beck and told David Knight to listen to it. | ||
| But there are some wrinkles here. | ||
| We're not entirely sure what's true. | ||
| But yeah, I think one thing that sucks is that he's coming in because of Glenn Beck talking shit, not because Russia and Ukraine are ramping up hostilities. | ||
| This is the kind of news organization that's like, Glenn Beck, you've got to come in. | ||
| World War III might be happening, but Glenn Beck has a 590 AM show. | ||
| We've got to get into this. | ||
| But see, the problem is, basically, that Glenn Beck is just jealous of Alex, which I think we all could see coming. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, he went offline. | ||
| I mean, he went off-air and went online and moved his whole operation there, and he's never going to be as successful as Alex had. | ||
| Well, that's true. | ||
| But the Blaze has so many cool people working there. | ||
| So many greats, like... | ||
| I guess Steven Crowder is there, right? | ||
| Is that where Crowder is? | ||
| I think he might be... | ||
| Oh my god, so it's fucking two failed comedians? | ||
| Well, I mean, that's most of the right wing, right? | ||
| But let's be honest, Crowder is pretty funny. | ||
| So anyway, Alex believes that Glenn Beck is jealous of him. | ||
| I know what this is. | ||
| He knows we're getting on affiliates all over the country. | ||
| The show's exploding right now. | ||
| Most of the stations we're on carry Glenn Beck. | ||
| And he knows, because I've talked to some program directors, that there's little comments and things going on from the people in his office, not even his syndicator. | ||
| Premier. | ||
| About me and how I'm a bad show to have. | ||
| And this has been going on behind the scenes. | ||
| And then a lot of times I'm on live and Glenn Beck's on at night. | ||
| He doesn't like that. | ||
| He's an egomaniac. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| My show ends up getting picked up on Sunday live. | ||
| While we do that show, people get a taste of it. | ||
| Then they put us on at night, and then invariably we end up going on live. | ||
| And, I mean, they literally replace Rush Limbaugh with us in areas of the country and get better ratings. | ||
| And I'm not... | ||
| I never had this slot to go up against Rush Limbaugh. | ||
| I didn't want this slot. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| He's beating Rush Limbaugh. | ||
| Wow, yeah. | ||
| Rush taking a little shrapnel. | ||
| Maybe mildly delusional. | ||
| But they're cool. | ||
| I mean, as someone's handing him notes, letting him know Putin is thinking of dropping a nuke. | ||
| Hold on a second. | ||
| So Rush is actually also intimidated by us over here at InfoWars. | ||
| And we have a strategy where, like a drug dealer, and I put my show on your Sunday night so you get a taste. | ||
| For people who are moving, if you want to move and listen to a show, put us on. | ||
| We are the info dealers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I love that he's bragging about a Sunday night slot. | ||
| It's like the worst slot. | ||
| It's so inside baseball. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It really is. | |
| Like, if you're watching, you're just like, alright, I'm sorry, are we fighting InfoWars, or is this like a cult? | ||
| When do we go back to fighting InfoWars? | ||
| I think that this is something that's kind of maybe under-known publicly, is how much of his show ends up being kind of like this. | ||
| I had no idea. | ||
| Why does anyone list? | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| Well, that was one of the things about the trial that was so exceptional was to actually have someone there be like, what are you talking about? | ||
| Like, so often to be able to do that, like, to pull that move because it's like, we just need yes or no. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In his depositions, the best moments are the, like, Mr. Jones, do you know what question you're answering? | ||
| Almost invariably the answer is no. | ||
| He has no idea where the sentence started. | ||
| So this goes back to when Space Nazi and Charlie had Adam that night. | ||
| They were in a radio show and he was a failed radio guy. | ||
| The radio guy still gnaws at him. | ||
| It's still... | ||
| A deep-seated thing. | ||
| He wants to be king of fucking radio. | ||
| That's what he's talking about. | ||
| He's bragging, saying he's better than these people. | ||
| Radio spider. | ||
| It just doesn't fucking matter. | ||
| It just doesn't matter anymore. | ||
| There's a bit of projection, possibly. | ||
| I'm picking up on some of that, too. | ||
| He has a chip on his shoulder that's something that is also sort of ubiquitous throughout his career. | ||
| I'm the best, but also everyone is jealous of me, and that's why I'm... | ||
| Look, they're trying to kick me off these stations because Glenn Beck is jealous of me and he's talking shit. | ||
| That kind of vibe. | ||
| It's huge news. | ||
| It's so funny. | ||
| Radio guys have always talked shit about each other. | ||
| They can't not do it. | ||
| No, that is very true. | ||
| It's such a community. | ||
| It's such a forgotten community. | ||
| They were the rock stars in the 50s. | ||
| Oh yeah, Wolfman. | ||
| Spinning the records. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And now Alex Jones. | |
| Brought low. | ||
| So Alex is going to bring up some of the accusations. | ||
| That Glenn Beck has made about him here on this next clip. | ||
| It's important to double down on the important news of the day. | ||
| I mean, this is definitely the top story. | ||
| Obviously. | ||
| I'm going to talk with Knight briefly about what he heard Beck say last night. | ||
| And I guess we're going to dig through the video and audio files of it yesterday and post it just to document what we're saying. | ||
| But it doesn't matter. | ||
| A lot of you probably heard it. | ||
| Saying that we want violence and that we're basically covering up the racism of Bundy and that we were out there at the ranch two weeks ago when he said all this, when we all now know this was taped Saturday and not by our reporters. | ||
| And, of course, we reported on it. | ||
| I mean, it's one thing to say Bundy could be a hillbilly or maybe racist. | ||
| I don't think that's the case. | ||
| He's certainly a fossil, though. | ||
| And I think some of the stuff he said could be taken as offensive. | ||
| I mean, like, there's black people out here. | ||
| I'll bring one in the house and got them around here. | ||
| I mean, it's just literally out in the middle of nowhere. | ||
| It'd be like, I brought a Yankee in here. | ||
| I saw one of them. | ||
| City Slicker. | ||
| I mean, these are folks in the desert seven generations. | ||
| Yeah, so he might just be a fossil, but he's not racist. | ||
| He's a fossil, but he's not wrong. | ||
| It's really odd to listen to Alex Jones, Alex Jones. | ||
| Like, for him to be talking about himself and his little orbit in the way that he does about everything else. | ||
| Well, he's nothing if not, like, self-obsessed. | ||
| And so that does happen a lot. | ||
| But the way that you're, like, talking about posting audio files, it's like, well, yeah, honestly, nobody cares. | ||
| What are you... | ||
| What's actually important? | ||
| Well, what's actually important is that Glenn Beck has said that Alex wants to overthrow the government, which he kind of does. | ||
| I mean, he pretty clearly has been super against the federal government for 20 years. | ||
| And then he's covering up racism by not calling what Cliven Bundy said racist. | ||
| Which, I don't know if you remember, but it was basically him saying that, hey, maybe black people were better off under slavery. | ||
| Yeah, and that he would have one in his house. | ||
| He's not opposed to having a black person in his house, which is, in the Bundy family, considered progressive. | ||
| Basically, though, everything that Glenn Beck appears to be saying about Alex seems fair, by my doubt. | ||
| He's doing that thing where you're going, God damn it, now I agree with Glenn Beck, you asshole. | ||
| Yeah, that is the battle sometimes. | ||
| It's like, oh no, you've made a good point about Alex Jones. | ||
| It's low bar, though. | ||
| That's pretty unimpressive. | ||
| Yes, yes. | ||
| So yeah, look, Clive and Bundy, that was your guys' first episode, right? | ||
| That was our first episode. | ||
| That was before Dave thought he was going to have me on the show permanently. | ||
| We were just going to his garage to talk about the Bundys. | ||
| It was magic in a bottle. | ||
| And the same day you put out that episode, this was happening on Alex's show, talking about Cliven Bundy and how he is. | ||
| He's just old-fashioned, man. | ||
| He's a fossil. | ||
| You've got to understand. | ||
| Fossils say the N-word. | ||
| I've always run into hillbillies in the middle of nowhere that do talk like this. | ||
| And they're actually not racist. | ||
| No. | ||
| They are literally out of a time machine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But there's bad things if you go back at a time machine. | ||
| There's also good things. | ||
| They're saying no to the feds and no to Tiananmen Square because they're so old-fashioned. | ||
| That's the good part of their old-fashionedness is to be straight shooting and to stand up against tyranny. | ||
| But then it's like talking to somebody who got off a time machine from 150 years ago. | ||
| It sounds really weird to modern trendies and metrosexuals and everybody else. | ||
| The one thing I will say he's correct on is the bunnies were against Tiananmen Square. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| It's just, like, the more that that goes on, the more it's like, Jesus Christ, what is, is he mad-libbing? | ||
| More or less. | ||
| He loses the thread quite a bit. | ||
| He seems to, like, sometimes... | ||
| He's like a guy who starts running downhill and he can't stop. | ||
| And he's just like, go wherever he goes! | ||
| Let's start a GoFundMe to get him running down a hill. | ||
| I would love to see that footage. | ||
| I love reality shows because you get to watch the word literally be taken out back and abused. | ||
| And his quote in there is they are literally from a time machine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| I think one of the problems with that entire roll downhill and the momentum of it was that there was something true to it. | ||
| They are essentially from a time machine, but they're coming from a racist time. | ||
| So you're making an excuse for this by being like, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| Their minds are back from slavery time. | ||
| Yeah, and we're like, yeah, exactly. | ||
| That's a problem. | ||
| And he's like, yeah, well, they're time travelers. | ||
| They're from another time. | ||
| Okay, yeah, well, in our time, we're not cool with that. | ||
| If they are time travelers, then we need to teach them about the modern world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no, then the whole space-time continuum, then you're jumping in the middle of the ripple effect. | |
| You don't understand what you're doing to the universe. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| You open up the world of spiders. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Time spiders. | ||
| So we have a little bit more Russia and Ukraine news that comes up. | ||
| A lot of people think Glenn Beck's behind it. | ||
| There are murmurs of this in the Council on Foreign Relations. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And so we get to the possibility of nuclear war coming up, but only after an incessant amount of time talking about Glenn Beck. | ||
| And if I was a coward, or even if I had more self-preservation instincts, I would be getting my family out of the United States right now. | ||
| And I'm not saying that that means we're going to have a nuclear war, but if there was, say, a 10% chance that there was going to be a nuclear war, would you get your family out of major target sites, like the middle of Texas? | ||
| Or if there was a 10% chance robbers were coming to kill you, would you get out of your house that night? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd say there was a 10% chance, probably higher. | |
| That we're going to have a full-out nuclear war. | ||
| And people have heard my show for 19 years. | ||
| Some of you have been listening that long in Austin. | ||
| Been syndicated for almost 18. You know I've never talked like that. | ||
| He always talks like that. | ||
| It's very regular. | ||
| But he also does frequently say, you know I don't talk like this. | ||
| So if you didn't listen to a bunch of his show, you wouldn't know that. | ||
| Dave, you seem to have maybe a bone to pick with Texas. | ||
| It just made me laugh that he put the main targets and he threw Central Texas out there. | ||
| Central Texas. | ||
| I mean, alright, yeah, sure. | ||
| Yeah, the great threat of Central Texas. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll hit them right where the economy's heart pulses from. | |
| The middle of Texas. | ||
| We've long known that the Kremlin wants to take out Bevo. | ||
| University of Austin. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We can eradicate Whataburger, then they will be putty in our hands. | |
| You see, at the Red Dawn, we have to take out the football capitals first. | ||
| That's right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Texas A&M is where this Hydra heads from. | |
| So, David Knight, the guy who was... | ||
| Yes, the guy who was moving. | ||
| He shows up, and he wants to come in and talk about how Glenn Beck has been talking this shit. | ||
| And this leads Alex to make quite a bold pronouncement about Glenn Beck. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What he was saying was, he said, they're pushing for this. | |
| He goes, when I heard that it was, I knew from the beginning that I didn't want to, I want to be on the other side of the story because Infowars made this an actual story. | ||
| He goes, that should be... | ||
| A red flag. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not a false flag, ha ha ha, but a red flag. | |
| I'm not blaming Grudge and giving him the credit. | ||
| Grudge made it a national story. | ||
| We broke it, he made it national. | ||
| It is a big story. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he's saying that we're constantly pushing for revolution. | |
| I think that's not true. | ||
| What happened there is exactly what Glenn Beck claims he wants to see happen. | ||
| And that is people peacefully standing up. | ||
| With loaded guns in their face like Tiananmen Square. | ||
| Now, some people, I didn't see anybody down there with a gun on them, but there were, well, actually, there was a couple of guys that were holding rifles, but nobody was pointing anything. | ||
| But there were a few back up there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There was one guy on the bridge. | |
| They keep showing that picture from multiple angles, okay? | ||
| But the point is that now it's been projected onto us, and now we weren't there this weekend when he made the... | ||
| The black comments, and then you said, he said mostly we were involved in that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He said, these guys are embedded there, they're everywhere. | |
| He goes, they know that he was making those comments last Saturday. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, that was not even the same Saturday. | |
| He's not, he's totally out of the scene. | ||
| He's not wrong. | ||
| I know his insider people. | ||
| He's got at least four FBI agents with him at all times. | ||
| So-called retired. | ||
| This is FBI. | ||
| Just like Al Sharpton's FBI, I will bet my right arm, the FBI is feeding all this to Glenn Beck. | ||
| Glenn Beck is the FBI. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| It's like beautiful. | ||
| It's like jazz nonsense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like jazz, yes. | |
| I mean, it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's so much phenomenal stuff in there. | |
| But it's also amazing that, okay, you have the audio of Glenn Beck saying this, but in order to preserve the illusion of news, you're bringing in the guy who just listened to the AM radio for his first-person account of listening to the AM radio station. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yep. | ||
| Playing the clip wouldn't be as fun. | ||
| Oh, Glenn Beck is the FBI. | ||
| And then to have the balls to be like, and what should we lay underneath that? | ||
| Let's do a little Joe Cocker help from my friends. | ||
| Do you think that Glenn Beck is FBI? | ||
| Oh, 100%. | ||
| I mean, I did it, but then I heard this. | ||
| Yeah, the evidence is pretty strong. | ||
| Now, more important question. | ||
| Do you think that Alex knew he was going to make that accusation when the sentence started? | ||
| No. | ||
| Honestly, no. | ||
| You know, again, we're outsider-y, but it is. | ||
| There's just, you know, the different connection points, and as he starts to advance and run down the hill, it's sort of like, you know, remember Plinko on The Price is Right? | ||
| Where it just sort of drops and lands in a direction. | ||
| It's sort of like that. | ||
| His mind is Plinko-ing. | ||
| He's bouncing around, and then it drops in the FBI, and so Glenn Beck's the FBI. | ||
| Yeah, but he's going to stick with this for now. | ||
| But I should say, in the present day, Glenn Beck likes Alex, so Alex likes Glenn Beck now, in 2022. | ||
| He must have been wrong about the FBI, I think, because he still has his right arm. | ||
| Well, yeah, and... | ||
| One of the great things about Alex is that every episode is a bottle episode. | ||
| Nothing really... | ||
| You don't have to hold yourself to any of these predictions like nuclear war, the FBI. | ||
| It all just washes away tomorrow. | ||
| It's awesome. | ||
| It's like Groundhog Day conspiracy man. | ||
| No continuity. | ||
| I wonder how many times he's predicted something like nuclear war. | ||
| If you could go back and count, it would be incredible. | ||
| Over 20 years? | ||
| On our show, I would say at least 50 times I've heard it. | ||
| Oh, that's so good. | ||
| Yeah, and Chicago is often the target that he brings up. | ||
| And so I take this personally. | ||
| I'm very threatened by his false predictions. | ||
| Now, is David Knight still with Glenn Beck? | ||
| I know he's got his own radio show on iHeart or whatever. | ||
| David Knight used to work for Infowars, but he got fired maybe like a year ago. | ||
| He got into a fight with this guy named Steve Pchenik. | ||
| Steve Pchenik is this bullshit artist who had lied to Alex about stuff, and he was saying that all the ballots in the 2020 election were watermarked. | ||
| And they all were, like, tracked by blockchain. | ||
| And so Trump was going to reveal the election was stolen. | ||
| And David Knight was telling Alex not to believe this nonsense. | ||
| And David Knight got fired. | ||
| You never say that to never say don't believe anything to Alex Jones. | ||
| You will get fired. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He was a long-standing employee. | ||
| He had had a heart attack not too long before this. | ||
| He'd come in on his day off to talk about Glenn Beck years in the past, and no consideration given. | ||
| I've always kind of been a little bit fascinated by Infowars as a workplace, because when they're not on air, obviously something is happening. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I bet they're exactly the same. | ||
| I bet they're just sitting around the water cooler talking about the same shit they talk about on air. | ||
| I bet it's no fucking different. | ||
| Do you think that they actually believe the stuff around the water cooler or it's like comics pitching jokes to each other? | ||
| Like, do you think there's something here? | ||
| Glenn Beck is FBI. | ||
| Do you think there's something here? | ||
| Yeah, I think they believe. | ||
| I think they're the kind of guys that just endlessly talk nonsense. | ||
| It goes back to when the Bundys took over the wildlife place in Oregon. | ||
| At one point, there were eight guys sitting in a circle talking about their military histories. | ||
| And then when a documentarian investigated them, none of them had been in the military, but they were all trading war stories. | ||
| It's just like that. | ||
| I think once it got started, I think they just sit around talking, and they're all yes-ending, and they all... | ||
| They, on some level, know it's not true, but they're also so fucking deranged that they inherently believe it. | ||
| Does that make sense? | ||
| Yeah, and I think that is what makes the grifting of today more dangerous. | ||
| Because I think they... | ||
| It's like, if you put them on a lie detector, would they pass? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But I know if they're around each other, they're not going to admit that it is... | ||
| Bullshit. | ||
| Because, you know, that sort of grifting is not okay. | ||
| But if you believe it hard enough, then potentially it is true. | ||
| And that's really like our entire structure of government and, you know, half of the successful people who give commentary on it are just finding their footing for their own personal benefit. | ||
| And, you know, when you find an audience, of course you're going to keep believing it. | ||
| You know, air-quoting belief. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And the first person to, like, break kayfabe in that environment is going to get eaten by the other grift spiders. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And it'll only reinforce the kayfabe. | ||
| And it's like, oh, no, you were the one who wasn't real. | ||
| But you want to be there the day when Alex Jones just goes, I've been lying. | ||
| And they're all like, oh, we have two, sir. | ||
| I know. | ||
| That'll take some serious AA meetings, I think, before we get there. | ||
| So it turns out there's one rule at InfoWars. | ||
| There's only one rule, and you won't believe what it is. | ||
| By the way, has there not been a directive the full year you're here to not attack Glenn Beck and not talk about him? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| Have there been any other directives about anything else? | ||
| No. | ||
| Just tell the truth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was very hard to do that. | |
| And don't infight, and keep the eyes on stopping the globalists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| Tell the truth, I guess, abstractly, and leave Glenn Beck alone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You don't want to attack our other ally that's fighting against the globalists. | |
| Come on, man! | ||
| New World Order! | ||
| Think about it! | ||
| It's the only backup rule. | ||
| Rule one of Info Wars, don't attack Glenn Beck. | ||
| Rule number two. | ||
| Don't attack Glenn Beck. | ||
| And that's it. | ||
| I love the moment of, are there any other directives? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| If you're him, you're probably like, well, shit, I think I'm supposed to say no, but that's a crazy answer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But he walks, he's goading me to say no. | |
| No, no, that's it. | ||
| You can kick on someone's keypad, you can punch people, you don't need to wear clothes around here, you can steal. | ||
| Just leave Glenn Beck the fuck alone. | ||
| Do not hurt Beck. | ||
| So one of the things that I find the most fun in these episodes is when people bring out quotes, because they're often wrong, and sometimes it's a little silly, like this time with David Knight. | ||
| He whiffs this one a little bit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And as Jesse Ventura said, I don't know if it was his original expression, first they assassinate your character, then they assassinate you. | |
| That was Gandhi. | ||
| Okay, that's what Gandhi said, okay? | ||
| Easy to mix up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is also the one who came up with the suplex. | |
| Gandhi? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my god! | |
| To live in an environment where that is not like that that is just a passing moment. | ||
| Mixing up Jamesy the body of Ventura and Gandhi again. | ||
| Fun fact, it's actually not even a Gandhi quote. | ||
| Of course it's not. | ||
| It did sound a little, like, aggressive for a Gandhi quote. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gandhi said, don't shoot until they see the whites of your eyes. | |
| That was Gandhi. | ||
| Yeah, from my cold, dead hand, Gandhi. | ||
| No, that was Stone Cold Steve Austin. | ||
| You're getting him all fucked up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was gold in my ear. | |
| Gandhi 316 says I just whipped her ass. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Tell me how my ass tastes. | |
| They have a fraught relationship with quotes on Infowars. | ||
| We covered his documentary Endgame and I was fascinated because every quote was fake. | ||
| It was just like... | ||
| Wall-to-wall Jefferson quotes that weren't real. | ||
| A couple of Hitler quotes that were fake. | ||
| It was wild. | ||
| I don't understand how you can take such stock in these quotes and just be like, well, that's actually just from a meme. | ||
| That's not real. | ||
| Well, still, it's a pretty good meme. | ||
| It sounds good. | ||
| Yeah, it's a good meme. | ||
| It's a very good meme. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, once you see it in writing, then, you know, all bets are off. | ||
| It's a thing. | ||
| So, in this next clip, we have Alex. | ||
| I'll be honest with you. | ||
| I'm not sure if there's much of a point to this clip. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm playing it because I want you to feel what it's like to have some ramble in your life. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| It's really just aimless. | ||
| They knew when they were flying into flat clouds, that was the factories they had to bomb. | ||
| I know when I get enemy attacks that I'm over the target. | ||
| So if I get killed or set up, let's just get one thing straight. | ||
| You didn't have a victory over me, New World Order. | ||
| I knew what I was climbing into. | ||
| I knew the cockpit I was getting into. | ||
| I am steering into the flak. | ||
| The more I get, the more I know I'm on target. | ||
| So I just want everybody to understand that, that I'm in this to win it. | ||
| I'm not in this because I'm a narcissist. | ||
| I'm not in this because I want a big name for myself. | ||
| I am in an absolute war that I know is real. | ||
| I've committed my full life to it. | ||
| And I feel like I'm not doing a good enough job to fight these tyrants. | ||
| I believe in humanity and I'm committed. | ||
| And I want to believe in other libertarian talk show hosts. | ||
| I want to believe in you. | ||
| I want to beat these people. | ||
| I want a better world. | ||
| I want to uphold my family name. | ||
| I want to be honorable. | ||
| I want to look at the facts and try to give you the most reasoned, historical, morally based analysis I can. | ||
| And I'm impure myself. | ||
| I'm worldly myself. | ||
| I'm not perfect, folks. | ||
| I'm not on some high horse. | ||
| I'm not here lecturing you. | ||
| Yeah, so there are long stretches of his show that just are like that. | ||
| It's clear he's talking to himself. | ||
| Yeah, it's just rambling nonsense. | ||
| Well, and it actually reminds me a lot of the Hulk Hogan quote, thou doth protest too much. | ||
| That was actually Che. | ||
| Oh, sorry. | ||
| Sorry, damn it. | ||
| Well, either way, the point stands. | ||
| It's kind of fascinating to go and listen to as much of this show as you do, because there are these moments of, like, you're basically just someone who doesn't go to therapy, talking to yourself, talking about yourself in your feelings on air, and it can feel a little pointless. | ||
| You know you're in a good rhythm when you're saying, I'm not a narcissist. | ||
| That's how you know things are going pretty well. | ||
| It generally means you've been accused of that. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But even for him, because it's sort of like the unwinding of his own mind, he's accusing himself and defending himself against himself a little bit. | ||
| Well, you know, it's a self-soothing behavior. | ||
| That's what he's engaged in. | ||
| He's expressing this idea, too. | ||
| You get the flack when you're above the target. | ||
| And that's his way of justifying every negative consequence that comes his way is actually a sign of his virtue. | ||
| Every attack is just because I'm so right about everything. | ||
| And it's pretty sad. | ||
| It's a bummer. | ||
| Sometimes you're just a dick. | ||
| And it's been so effective that it is like... | ||
| Even then, he was obviously such a... | ||
| Powerful figure at that time. | ||
| But to think that that has even grown out of that is so depressing because it's been so... | ||
| I remember when my friend's mom was like, I watch Fox News because it's fair and balanced. | ||
| And I was like, well, that's what they're saying. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| What are you talking? | ||
| It's that simple to hack our dumb little brains, you know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Catchphrases, man. | ||
| They work. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Just ask Gandhi. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So one of the things that actually is fun, sort of, about Alex's show is that he will come in from breaks with music sometimes, and he, like, really gets to feeling it. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| One of the best that we've heard is Glenn Fry's You Belong to the City. | ||
| He rocks out over that, and it is amazing. | ||
| This is a little bit weaker than that, but still a pretty good example of him vibing. | ||
| We are marching, my friends, towards what all analysts openly say, all analysts I've seen on television or read, across the political spectrum, say, could easily lead to thermal nuclear war. | ||
| Russian submarines carrying supersonic hydrogen bomb-tipped cruise missiles are now popping up off the coast of the United States, clearly to launch attacks if given the go-ahead codes against... | ||
| Russia is openly saying that they are prepared for nuclear war. | ||
| If the enemy of the globalist forces in Ukraine. | ||
| So, it's a little dramatic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, man. | |
| I could see that being like, that could be like, you know, you throw some Gorillaz music behind that and you've got to fucking hit track. | ||
| It is a mash-up, but it's like, it's just a terrible remix. | ||
| There is something to be said for Alex talking over music that, unfortunately, I think I'd buy an album of it. | ||
| It would be an interesting late career pivot for him to get into that. | ||
| It's like Tony Bennett's duets. | ||
| It's just like he can sort of just, he's bringing his spice to the classics. | ||
| Alex Jones doing the Great American Songbook. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, and it's just the music while he's just talking about the reptilians. | ||
| Yeah, it's William Shatnery on his album. | ||
| Yeah, right, right, yeah, it really is. | ||
| A little angrier, maybe? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Talking about Russian nuclear subs off the coast ready to launch? | ||
| Uh-huh, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't think that's responsible, probably. | |
| No, but God, I mean, that version is going to be stuck in my head all day. | ||
| So we get back to Glenn Beck business, because like I said, this is the top story of the day. | ||
| We're on the brink of nuclear war, plus that guy heard Glenn Beck while he was moving. | ||
| Right, and it involves Alex, and so it's very important. | ||
| So apparently some people at Fox have told Alex some things that are disconcerting. | ||
| I was told that by high-level people. | ||
| I mean, repeatedly, it's not even that big of a deal. | ||
| I'd be going into Fox Studios to do another show. | ||
| They'd say, Glenn Beck is freaking out, climbing walls. | ||
| You can't come on now. | ||
| I mean, that's fine. | ||
| I'm going over to The View and going over to CNN. | ||
| I mean, it's not that big of a deal, but Glenn Beck and his, quote, people don't want you in here. | ||
| They're throwing fits. | ||
| And they've got pull in the government. | ||
| And I'm like, what do you mean? | ||
| And he goes, man, the guy's the government. | ||
| Glenn Beck is the government. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And, you know, I can name names, but I'm not going to name names, folks, okay? | ||
| He's not going to name names. | ||
| But Glenn Beck is the government. | ||
| Yeah, no, look, would naming names really help his case? | ||
| Because it's quite a claim? | ||
| For sure. | ||
| But Alex isn't going to do that. | ||
| No, he's above it. | ||
| He's classic. | ||
| Yeah, he's a class act. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He was actually on The View. | ||
| He was, yeah. | ||
| He was talking about Charlie Sheen. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| Charlie Sheen had that meltdown on Alex's show. | ||
| That was where it all happened. | ||
| And because Alex was at the center of that, he got invited on The View and just yelled Infowars.com a bit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! | |
| It's pretty surreal, though, to see him sitting there on that set. | ||
| That's definitely super bizarre. | ||
| It feels like green screened. | ||
| I also like that Glenn Beck is climbing the walls like Spider-Man. | ||
| Glenn Beck is both freaking out over the existence of Alex Jones and the infringement upon Glenn Beck's orbit at some of these cable news operators, and at the same time is so powerful that he's the government. | ||
| He got upgraded from the FBI to the whole government, which is pretty impressive over the course of like an hour. | ||
| Yeah, within an hour. | ||
| So that's huge. | ||
| And apparently he's part of the Spider-Verse. | ||
| Have you ever seen Glenn Beck's Christmas show? | ||
| His one-man show about Randall the boy in the bicycle? | ||
| Have you ever seen it? | ||
| I have not. | ||
| I cannot recommend it enough. | ||
| The man is Out of his fucking mind. | ||
| We watched it in the theater, me and Josh Olsen. | ||
| And people got mad at us for laughing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, like the right-wing people were very... | |
| They were decked out in their full flags and all that shit. | ||
| I can't imagine a scarier environment to see a movie like that. | ||
| It is a deep, deep, deep journey into the mind of Glenn Beck and it is fucking outstanding. | ||
| I've heard some great reviews of his books. | ||
| I've never read a book. | ||
| I mean, his books. | ||
| I've read books. | ||
| I've heard negative reviews of his books. | ||
| I can imagine. | ||
| So Alex isn't going to... | ||
| He's not going to name names. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| That's a policy that he has. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But maybe... | |
| In a way, it shows you that... | ||
| You know, he is honorable when it comes to not outing these sources. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But it's also, god damn, would it really help some of this stuff. | ||
| Just to really validate it, it would just be so fucking helpful. | ||
| Could you give us a damn specific, please? | ||
| Just one, maybe. | ||
| Maybe name a name, just so we can be like, okay, yes, that name was right, now you don't need to anymore. | ||
| Well, maybe he will. | ||
| Maybe he will. | ||
| Glenn Beck, you want it, buddy? | ||
| Maybe I'll name names, son. | ||
| You want it? | ||
| You're going to get it. | ||
| You want it? | ||
| You're going to get it. | ||
| As I gave you the benefit of the doubt, and I knew you were after me, and I said, leave me alone. | ||
| What, you think the fact that you're Benedict Arnold is going to come out? | ||
| You were spouting White House talking points three days before word for word it came out of Media Matters. | ||
| You got the memo before they did, bud. | ||
| We got your ass. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| He's got him. | ||
| You want more? | ||
| We're going to compile a dossier on all your people now, and we're going to put it out for folks. | ||
| We're going to realize your little base over there is a CIA-FBI substation. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| This is quite a threat. | ||
| A CIA-FBI substation. | ||
| Substation. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It is a below-ground CIA-FBI substation from which he runs... | ||
| The federal government. | ||
| And we know this! | ||
| Because he had the same talking point that Media Matters did three days later! | ||
| Case concluded, motherfucker! | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's over! | |
| And I should also say that we only know that this three-day thing is happening because Alex is saying it, and he's iffy on dates. | ||
| But again, once you get the dossiers compiled, which I'm sure they were, and put out, I'm sure that that was validating and corroborated all of it. | ||
| Well, sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And Glenn Beck went away because he was shamed out of the public. | ||
| Well, it was revealed that he was the government, and that's over. | ||
| And then he got deposed, I guess, because he's no longer the government. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| There was a coup. | ||
| No, but he still runs the FBI substation. | ||
| The substation kind of implies that it's in between a couple stations, you know, like in case people need to camp out there for a mission. | ||
| Or it's actually a station on a sub. | ||
| Think about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| In the middle of Texas? | ||
| Doesn't he operate out of doubt? | ||
| Maybe that's the high-level target that the nuke was going to hit. | ||
| I was just going to say, you better be careful where he's operating from. | ||
| Now we're getting to Jade Helm, aren't we? | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We've just got to figure out how the spiders play into this, and we are on to something. | ||
| Man, he must, he must, I mean, I don't, I mean, what, the level of drugs to keep this up. | ||
| Is it, yeah, I mean, we're thinking, like, what is the belief on him? | ||
| Is it, is it Adderall? | ||
| Is it, is it booze? | ||
| Is it a cocktail? | ||
| He's definitely a drunk, for sure. | ||
| He does his show drunk sometimes. | ||
| Less so lately, but in the past, he would be very clearly drunk. | ||
| Like, one Christmas Eve, he was so drunk, he threw a hatchet at one of his cameras. | ||
| It was madness. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| Wait, why didn't he have a hatchet? | ||
| Why didn't he? | ||
| Why wouldn't he have a hatchet? | ||
| Because it was Christmas Eve, dummy. | ||
| Sometimes he has big knives in the studio. | ||
| Sometimes he has a Barrett 40 cal cannon. | ||
| Oh my god! | ||
| There's a surreality to some of that. | ||
| But yeah, he had that hatchet. | ||
| That was a good day. | ||
| Rogan has said that Alex told him that he has a problem with Adderall. | ||
| And so there is some kind of a stimulant thing. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Feels like it. | ||
| Yeah, that's what keeps the words running. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And just any, like, I think... | ||
| You know, from performing and doing shows, you know it can be exhausting even though it doesn't look like it's exhausting. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And what he does is pretty high intensity and not have some kind of a supplement, if you will. | ||
| Yeah, that would be great if he just started selling that as the supplement. | ||
| The Adderall-Booze combo is pretty fucking ridiculously... | ||
| The way that Adderall can keep the gears going... | ||
| No matter what you're throwing at it, if you take enough, is pretty remarkable. | ||
| I've certainly had some friends tell me that if you're drinking pretty late, like maybe you're at 3, 4 a.m. bar here in Chicago, and someone gives you some cocaine, it balances you out a little bit. | ||
| You know, the stimulant and booze have that effect. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Friends. | |
| Friends. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah, and I know from having done cocaine at three or four in the morning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, sorry, wait. | |
| But it is. | ||
| And a lot of times it will be the appearance that you're in control, but your memories will not be there to really back that up. | ||
| So you will seem fine, but you are out of your mind. | ||
| This is how Alex gets away with forgetting that Glenn Beck is the government. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| His holes in his memory. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But look, so he's got to put together these dossiers, right, on Glenn Beck's staff. | ||
| And to do that, he's going to need some help. | ||
| And so he calls out. | ||
| He puts it out into the universe. | ||
| Obi-Wan kind of thing. | ||
| This is one fucking day of a fucking show. | ||
| This is one day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| This is fucking crazy. | ||
| Dave, honestly, this is one of the less crazy. | ||
| I was worried that some of these clips would be very boring. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So here is Alex calling for some help. | ||
| I wonder what Anonymous is going to do about this. | ||
| Anonymous? | ||
| Are you going to let them bring me down? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| I'm for real. | ||
| I need grassroots to come to my aid right now. | ||
| I can tell the enemy is rolling the Death Star around and is going to be clear to fire in five minutes. | ||
| What are you going to do? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| I need you to help me. | ||
| I'm for real. | ||
| People want to bring me down. | ||
| And they can bring me down. | ||
| They can bring you down. | ||
| They can bring Drudge down. | ||
| They can bring Roll Net Daily down. | ||
| They can bring the real liberal media down. | ||
| The libertarian Thomas Jefferson media down. | ||
| Yeah, the Thomas Jefferson media. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What the fuck is happening? | |
| It's amazing that it's like... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I wonder if he's talked to anyone. | |
| I wonder if, like... | ||
| And it's because there's no real information, but it's just evolving in his psychosis. | ||
|
unidentified
|
To the point now where he's like, look, Anonymous, you're in the crosshairs now. | |
| Yeah, you're just as exposed as I am here, you know? | ||
| To Glenn Beck because he's the government. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anonymous, Glenn Beck will unmask you and take you down. | |
| I do love that. | ||
| At this point, Alex is looking at Anonymous as some kind of a, like, they got my back. | ||
| Come on, brothers. | ||
| Do we even know? | ||
| Wait, have we heard what Glenn Beck said about him yet? | ||
| He said that InfoWars wants a revolution and that he didn't want to get involved with the Bundys because InfoWars was involved. | ||
| And he made a false flag joke. | ||
| He just made a very nearly offhanded comment and this is what's happening. | ||
| He also said that Alex was excusing the racism of Cliven Bundy's comments. | ||
| Which Alex wasn't, but again, when you're dealing with racist time travelers, you have to be open to their racism a little bit. | ||
| Right, you'd be time travelist if you didn't. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| It's just gotten so crazy that it's like, I can't remember where we started from because it's so... | ||
| I mean, this is... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because he made those comments, now... | ||
| Now they are taking down everything. | ||
| If they're calling on Anonymous, bring down all of Glenn Beck's operation. | ||
| Dave, this is part of the globalist Death Star. | ||
| You should be freaked out. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're ready to fire in five minutes. | ||
| You should be worried right now. | ||
| In the past 90 minutes, Glenn Beck. | ||
| He's gone from an AM radio show host to a cable news host to now he's the government who is going to unmask and take down all of these people. | ||
| Listen, Anonymous, if you don't stop him now, he's going to get his AT-ATs out and he's going to storm your base. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I hate to say this, guys, because if you're having this much of, like, wonderment... | ||
| At this point? | ||
| I don't know if you can handle the next clip. | ||
| Oh, let's go. | ||
| I cannot fucking wait. | ||
| Because this is something that's kind of normal on his show, but for you, this might be a lot to take in. | ||
| I'm going to throw a hatchet. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm going to say a prayer. | ||
| God, I recognize that this is a key... | ||
| Please, I've been a humble servant and tried to be the best I can. | ||
| And please, please protect us and please help us expose the enemies within, foreign and domestic. | ||
| And please allow me to continue on in my work so that I can do a better job and continue to wake others up. | ||
| Or if it is your will that they destroy me, please let it be an edifying message to all so that we can learn from it and in the end defeat these enemies within, these Benedict Arnolds. | ||
| In the name of your son, Jesus Christ, amen. | ||
| Oh my God. | ||
| Oh my God. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| The best prayers always have my enemies, foreign and domestic, within them. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Man, to the balls. | |
| Again, I mean, it's like... | ||
| If you just surround yourself with people who will let you get away with things, this is how you get to the point where you're doing pretty much one-on-one public prayers with God. | ||
| Religion was really the only thing separating him from Jim Jones. | ||
| And then, boom! | ||
| He prays on air more than you'd think. | ||
| And it's suspicious how often the prayers... | ||
| Seemed to be a performance. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| There's a little bit of a... | ||
| He's talking about Glenn Beck in this prayer, very clearly. | ||
| Yeah, he's sub-praying Beck. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that's it. | |
| Sub-praying. | ||
| Now, if that wasn't too much to take in... | ||
| This next clip might, this will give you whiplash. | ||
| Jarring, because this is immediately after he prays, this is what he says. | ||
| I just ask you all to pray for this broadcast, and to pray that all be revealed, and that all the veils be torn back from the would-be religious cult leader that is the CIA frontman, the FBI frontman, the Justice Department Obama frontman that is Glenn Beck. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And I just pray that that happen. | ||
| And if it's God's will, it will. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He likes to invoke God all day. | |
| When I invoke God, I do it very humbly in God's presence. | ||
| Yeah, when Alex does it, it's classy. | ||
| Oh yeah, for sure. | ||
| He's sort of looking down on Glenn Beck for evoking God and bringing God up after he just prayed. | ||
| His enemy is foreign and domestic. | ||
| It's tough to get your head around. | ||
| It would just make so much sense if the set of InfoWars was just like multiplicity, where there were five of him, and they just are kind of swapping in and out. | ||
| You've got the religious Jones, the conspiratorial Jones, the musician Jones. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| The Terrified of Spiders Jones, the Just Reading Headlines Jones. | ||
| Spider Jones, which is the one where you're like, this one's not the best copy we've got. | ||
| The spider guy, we shouldn't let him on air too often. | ||
| The very red Alex Jones from that picture, that before and after picture. | ||
| Tomato Jones. | ||
| Tomato Jones. | ||
| Man, I mean... | ||
| Orlando Jones. | ||
| It's not the actor, it's actually just like a Florida Alex Jones. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| He has, like, board shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. | ||
| It's really remarkable to think that nothing has changed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's 2014? | |
| No, in this two-hour period that nothing has changed except for potentially the level of intoxication or something, or just, like, the ratings or whatever, just the fact that he's just going. | ||
| I don't think he's drunk, to be fair. | ||
| I can usually tell, like, he has little tells. | ||
| And he seems pretty sober. | ||
| But here's the thing. | ||
| Like, every episode is essentially an adventure for him, you know? | ||
| He steps out his front door when he starts the show. | ||
| And who knows? | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| He could end up in Mordor. | ||
| He could end up just at the other side of the Shire. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| It's Plinkum. | ||
| It's Plinkum. | ||
| Who knows where the Plinkum... | ||
| I mean, that is fucking amazing. | ||
| We have learned just an immense amount. | ||
| But we have more to learn about Glenn Beck. | ||
| Good. | ||
| Because we've learned he's the FBI. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's an Obama frontman. | |
| Hold on. | ||
| Maybe not. | ||
| Maybe he's above Obama. | ||
| I'm so tired of the betrayal and the treason. | ||
| I'm so tired of the dishonor. | ||
| I want to think more of people. | ||
| I want to believe that everything I was told about people wasn't true, even though it's been proven to be right. | ||
| There's no FEMA camps. | ||
| Ron Paul has a thing called a money bomb to blow up the government. | ||
| He said that when the first money... | ||
| Money bombs have been going on for six months back when he said that six, seven years ago. | ||
| The army needs to be used against these people. | ||
| That was the Southern Poverty Law Center. | ||
| Media Matters line then. | ||
| I kept saying these are government lines. | ||
| These are hardcore inside lines first, not later. | ||
| He doesn't repeat the lines later. | ||
| He progenerates. | ||
| He gives birth. | ||
| He coins them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He gets the memo first, folks. | |
| And I say he works for Obama. | ||
| It's above that. | ||
| And then I think about how did I get into such a hardcore game? | ||
| How am I some guy from Dallas, Texas, in the middle of this, ladies and gentlemen? | ||
| There's no secret room telling me what to do. | ||
| I don't have any advisors. | ||
| I'm just here, real, going up against these people. | ||
| What a hero. | ||
| Like, bragging. | ||
| Nobody's talking to me about this stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is all straight off of the dome. | |
| I'm just riffing this shit out. | ||
| Believe it or not, I am coming up with this. | ||
| The other thing is, like, if you're Glenn Beck, you're like, okay, so how do I counter this? | ||
| Yeah, well, if you're Glenn Beck's people, you're going and you're going, hey, just so you know, I guess Alex heard some of the things you said. | ||
| Oh, what's he saying? | ||
| He's pretty pissed off. | ||
| I mean, whatever, you know, this is media. | ||
| This can happen. | ||
| Hey, Glenn, when you have a second, we have a... | ||
| No, someone told me about the Alex Jones thing. | ||
| No, no, it's gotten a little bit more out of control. | ||
| What's he saying now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
In the last 15 minutes? | |
| Yeah, yeah, in the last 15 minutes, he kind of... | ||
| I guess now his pitch is that you are pretty much inside the government working for the government. | ||
| Well, that's crazy. | ||
| You have a sub-FBI-CIA station. | ||
| Hey, Glenn. | ||
| Glenn, do you have... | ||
| Sorry, I know you're trying to get some work done. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's just one more. | ||
| There's a new update. | ||
| So, it seems now that he's suggesting that you're sort of coming up with the talking points for the government. | ||
| So, you're no longer part of the government. | ||
| You maybe are the government. | ||
| And he bet his right arm on the fact that you are. | ||
| He'll cut his arm off if you're not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Again, sometimes I just think about how I wanted to be a stand-up. | |
| Hey, Glenn, sorry. | ||
| I know it's only been eight minutes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You're above Obama now. | ||
| You might be Obama. | ||
| How is that? | ||
| How am I supposed to say anything? | ||
| The show's got another two hours. | ||
| He's been running for 17 minutes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So we'll keep you posted. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can I get back on with Samantha Bee to talk to her about this? | |
| Can I apologize for something? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can I talk to him? | |
| It's definitely a heavy day for Alex in terms of escalating. | ||
| It doesn't always snowball quite like this. | ||
| It feels druggy. | ||
| It feels like he's been popping pills as this has been going on. | ||
| Speaking of snowballs. | ||
| Maybe they just have a fog machine in the studio, but it just releases Adderall. | ||
| Ooh, vaporized Adderall. | ||
| That's a good theory. | ||
| We're on to something here. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, like, is anger a drug? | ||
| I mean, it kind of is for some folks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is in the way, yeah, Dave will tell you. | |
| It is in the way, too, where it's like he is, you know, he's not shouting at his friends at a bar. | ||
| He recognizes the, you know, people are listening to this shit. | ||
| And if they're eating up the trash, that makes him want to throw more trash. | ||
| And as the day goes on, the trash piles have to get bigger and crazier. | ||
| And so now he's just sort of slamming around in a pile. | ||
| That's one of the problems with this style of broadcast just in general. | ||
| Yeah, the whole media. | ||
| I mean, I've had friends that have gone completely insane because they're just in a room talking to themselves on YouTube. | ||
| Yeah, it's a bad medium if you're alone and no one is going, hey... | ||
| Check yourself a little bit here. | ||
| If you don't have a boss and a lot of the stuff that you're talking about is kind of extreme, then people respond to the extreme stuff, and then you kind of lean into that, and how are you exciting if you're used to saying extreme stuff? | ||
| It's a downward spiral. | ||
| And tomorrow, you need to say some crazier shit. | ||
| What's Glenn Beck going to be tomorrow? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We all have Russian subs off the coast ready to nuke America, and Glenn Beck is above Obama. | ||
| I've got a new merch pitch would be, what's Glenn Beck going to be tomorrow? | ||
| I'm going to have Jordan put that up on our TeePublic or whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But imagine coming back around and then being friends with this guy. | |
| That'd be like me being friends with Jen Kirkman. | ||
| It's not something that can happen. | ||
| I think it'll happen. | ||
| To be fair, I think Alex has said way worse things about Glenn Beck than this. | ||
| This could be argued to be a compliment. | ||
| In a way, it's a scary compliment, but in a way it is. | ||
| You are higher than Obama. | ||
| By the way, you know who's higher than Obama? | ||
| Alex Jones. | ||
| He is high as fuck. | ||
| But it's definitely an insult or an accusation that involves competence. | ||
| Glenn Beck, you are so competent that you are above the president. | ||
| Anonymous, let's go. | ||
| Yeah, I need a giant team of faceless hackers in order to take you down. | ||
| I can rationalize that as being a positive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's a scary compliment, but it's a compliment. | |
| This was from 2014, so did Anonymous come to help him? | ||
| I can't remember. | ||
| Oh yeah, Glenn Beck unmasked them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We saw Obama's birth certificate. | |
| It was back. | ||
| Actually, Alex doesn't believe the birth certificate stuff. | ||
| Oh my god! | ||
| What a line. | ||
| He initially believed it, but then he realized that it was a trick because the people like the Obamas put it out knowing that people like Alex and the right-wing community were racists, and so they would jump on top of it and take the bait. | ||
| It's a false flag certificate. | ||
| You bet. | ||
| You bet. | ||
| In reality, Obama's dad is Frank Marshall Davis. | ||
| I'm sorry? | ||
| He's a communist guy. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I haven't taken this line too much further than that. | ||
| He made a documentary about it at some point. | ||
| He sold a documentary about it called Dreams of My Real Father. | ||
| Oh my lord, what a title. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's still a bit racist, to be honest. | |
| It was a different time, Dan. | ||
| Alex is a time traveler. | ||
| He's a time, for God's sake. | ||
| So, at this point, we've entered the sort of home stretch of the show, and Alex brings on Joseph Farah, the guy who runs World Net Daily, onto the program. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, God. | |
| We're not going to listen to, well, just one clip of it, because it's pretty boring. | ||
| It's mostly about how the Clintons wanted to take him out, and I don't know how that's relevant. | ||
| Take out Alex or the World Net Daily? | ||
| World Net Daily, back in the 90s. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And so now we're in 2014. | ||
| Sort of getting credibility off that. | ||
| Did they end up murdering? | ||
| They didn't. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Because I'm not sure if he got murdered and then this is a clone or an imposter. | ||
| No, but they were close because he was asking too many questions about Vince Foster. | ||
| There's the buzz name. | ||
| Oh, gee. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Farrah, one of his big points is that, like, we got to stick together. | ||
| There's not many of us who are, you know, in this. | ||
| And he accidentally includes Glenn Beck in his list of names. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yes. | |
| For a long time, when I started the World Network, for years, I thought to myself, you know, I wonder why nobody else is doing this. | ||
| I wonder why nobody else is saying, hey, we're having a modest degree of success here. | ||
| Why isn't anybody joining the press? | ||
| Finally, after many years, there have been Infowars, the Breitbart, the Daily Callers, Glenn Beck. | ||
| Now we have some other folks out there joining us, and we've got to make sure that we don't split hairs with them. | ||
| The other side wants to have a united front. | ||
| I totally agree. | ||
| We talk about this every time on the phone or on air. | ||
| And Savage is doing that. | ||
| Good for him. | ||
| I mean, the attacks, and I'm not going to bring it up, it's just Beck saying that, quote, I want a violent revolution and a civil war when I say the opposite, that I'm a racist covering up for Bundy. | ||
| I mean, maybe you're right, maybe he's just doing it out of fear, but it doesn't matter. | ||
| I'm being thrown under the bus here, and it's very creepy, and I'm just glad that you're an honorable person, Joseph Farah. | ||
| Look forward to seeing you next week, and I'm glad you're not a coward. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, man, God bless. | |
| That's how I end my interviews. | ||
| Really, every lunch I have with anybody, I end it by saying, I'm glad you're not a coward. | ||
| That's always how I end things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do it after someone orders. | |
| I'm glad you're not a coward. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You went with fries instead of potato salad. | |
| I mean, it really is amazing to have said all the things you've said. | ||
| And then have this guy drop Glenn Beck and be like, well, look, to be honest, I'm not a huge Glenn Beck fan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like, you're not a huge fan or he's higher than Obama? | |
| Yeah, there's some dissonance. | ||
| How do you not say to that guy, he says that about Glenn Beck, and you go, well, you know, he has a substation and he runs the FBI. | ||
| What's that, Alex? | ||
| I think this question answers itself, and that is that Joseph Farah is not a coward. | ||
| Bringing this up would inevitably lead to some pushback. | ||
| And I think that's probably why you just go along to get along. | ||
| None of this means anything anyway. | ||
| Alex doesn't actually believe that Glenn Beck is above Obama. | ||
| But it's so clear there that that's the case because he uses it in the wrap-up. | ||
| Well, to be honest, I'm not a huge Glenn Beck fan. | ||
| He says Civil War. | ||
| But anyway, you know, potato, potato. | ||
| Great to have you on. | ||
| I just got to defend myself. | ||
| I gotta defend myself a little bit. | ||
| He might be in charge of the globalist Death Star. | ||
| We're not sure. | ||
| Anyway, a little help from my friends is gonna play us out. | ||
| Anonymous! | ||
| A little help from Anonymous! | ||
| Yeah, it's silly. | ||
| Things don't make sense, and that's just part of the info war, you know? | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| In this third hour of his show, he was interviewing Joseph Farah, and then the premise was basically that he was going to take calls. | ||
| But time essentially runs out. | ||
| Too much time complaining about Glenn Beck, and so there's no calls. | ||
| And Alex is feeling a little bit like, you know, I'm cool. | ||
| I'm a cool guy. | ||
| And that's kind of the vibe he wants to go out on. | ||
| He's globalist or evil. | ||
| I said I'd take calls, but I won't. | ||
| I'm out of time. | ||
| It's so creepy to be targeted by the White House. | ||
| Glenn Beck. | ||
| The average person is scared of what their neighbor thinks of them. | ||
| Every once in a while, I'll be in a restaurant or walking down the street or in a store and some socialist, globalist will come over and go, Alex Jones, you're a kook, an idiot, and I hate you. | ||
| I like to kick your butt. | ||
| Or, look up, there's kook, man. | ||
| Or, boo, boo, look over to my table. | ||
| That's happened a few times. | ||
| Is it some liberal thing they do? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They go, boo, boo, boo, shame on you. | |
| And it just means nothing to me. | ||
| I was over to Buddy's once at his local community pool hot tub, and these trendies come over, and they go, Alex Jones, I think you're a disgrace and a cooter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they all said, he went, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. | |
| It was a couple months ago. | ||
| Weldon was there. | ||
| He was over there with me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. | |
| We had a few beers, and I just looked at them, and I just kept talking to them, and they laughed, and my buddies laughed because it meant nothing to me. | ||
| It didn't upset him. | ||
| No, he's just talking about it. | ||
| He doesn't even remember it. | ||
| I always find that to be really sincere and convincing when people... | ||
| It doesn't bother me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it doesn't bother me at all. | |
| It doesn't bother me. | ||
| I'm talking about it here because I'm fine with it. | ||
| I was just at a community pool slash hot tub. | ||
| Gareth, it seemed to disgust you a little bit. | ||
| You were taken aback by the community pool. | ||
| First of all, community pool, like, I'm like, is Alex Jones going to a community pool? | ||
| But that's not crazy. | ||
| But community hot tub just has, like, weird kind of orgy vibes. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, community hot tub. | ||
| It's like a community pool. | ||
| I'm like, alright, somewhere for the kids to go on the weekends. | ||
| It's like community hot tub's like, alright, you fucking creep. | ||
| Yeah, the part after the slash was... | ||
| Yeah, community pool slash... | ||
| What color does Alex Jones turn in a hot tub? | ||
| It's Lobster Town, man. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, seriously, he must start crustaceaning. | ||
| Well, here's the thing. | ||
| You guys don't listen to a ton of this. | ||
| You wouldn't know, but a lot of Alex's stories take place in hot tubs. | ||
| He has a famous story about being in a hot tub and a couple of globalists came in and were like, we're gonna get you. | ||
| They were like threatening him in the hot tub. | ||
| And then another time he was at a hot springs and some globalists came. | ||
| He gets threatened by globalists in hot water a lot. | ||
| He might want to steer clear of some of these hot bodies. | ||
| But it's so relaxing. | ||
| Is there a space in here? | ||
| I'm a globalist. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| So it says six people at a time. | ||
| Is that six regular humans? | ||
|
unidentified
|
How many globalists may squeeze in? | |
| Now, don't mind my eight legs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, pardon me. | |
| I'm an arachnid, you see. | ||
| The spider comes out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And what do you do, sir? | |
| I'm a globalist. | ||
| It's on the business card. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, I'm a globalist. | |
| We're both in the globalist business. | ||
| So this brings us to the end of this episode, and I don't know if you have some feelings on making it through. | ||
| Something of basically your birthday. | ||
| Your show's birthday. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| At least everything's gone so much better since then. | ||
| Yeah, it is like, you know, I mean, he's just such a train wreck figure. | ||
| But it's almost like, I guess you think of him when you don't know as much as you all do. | ||
| You know, that he is, I mean, he is dangerous in so many ways, but it's also, this is the mind of a child. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's just a child's mind, and it's just pretty simple what's going on, and it's, I guess, very effective for those who are in, but there's really not much to it. | ||
| He's just trying to keep the fucking, you know, keep the train running. | ||
| Just keep the words coming out, create the straw men. | ||
| You know, he's got his terms, they're very effective, and to what you were saying, like, he walks out his door and he doesn't know what he's going to do. | ||
| I mean, every day he's a Pixar movie for him. | ||
| Yeah, I'm certain he has essentially no preparation for anything. | ||
| Just seat of his pants. | ||
| And that's how you can get these ridiculous things, like an entire show where he's escalatingly accusing Glenn Beck of stuff. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's like, well, I have nothing else really to talk about. | ||
| I've already made people scared about this nuclear war thing, and I've got nowhere else to go with that. | ||
| I mean, it's just, what can I say in between Hawking's survival items? | ||
| He really is like, when people, like, you have a friend that did something, and then you just, in your head, you're like, oh, I'm going to say this to him and this to him, and then it kind of spirals out, and you're just thinking of all this stuff. | ||
| But that's all he does on his show. | ||
| It's the kind of thoughts you have, and then you go, oh no, it's just Frank, I'll just fucking call him. | ||
| But he just goes for hours. | ||
| It's a guy spiraling out for fucking hours. | ||
| If this was so hugely important, it probably should have gotten on his radar in another way than a guy who worked for him was moving. | ||
| Well, again, like I said, the guy who was moving's brother heard it and told the guy who was moving. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, it's like, come on! | |
| God, it's so good. | ||
| He won't reveal his sources, and when he does, it's a guy who works for his brother. | ||
| One of his big sources of information in the present day is his wife's tennis partner. | ||
| He gets a lot of deep intel from her. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But, yeah, you know, this show's stupid. | |
| So the next day, is he just over it completely and on to something else, or will he continue on with something like this, or will he just drop it? | ||
| It changes. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| I haven't listened to the next day's episode, so I couldn't say for sure. | ||
| Sometimes it becomes a little bit of a crusade, and then sometimes he'll get distracted by something. | ||
| Or he went on Piers Morgan's show and yelled at him about guns. | ||
| Alex started a petition to get Piers Morgan deported. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Finally, we agree. | ||
| Yeah, and then he went on Piers Morgan's show and started yelling at him about how, like, you guys tried to take our guns in 1776, and that became, like, two weeks of his show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| That's not even remotely... | ||
| Don't tell Alex that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because he will yell at you for weeks. | |
| That's actually what the World of Independence is about. | ||
| It was gun confiscation. | ||
| Thank you for having us on, Dan. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I'm sure almost everybody who listens to our show will be aware of y 'all's show, The Dollop, but is there anything else you want to direct people's attention to that they should check out? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, I would keep your eyes on Glenn Beck. | |
| Keep your eyes peeled. | ||
| We have a virtual show we're doing September 8th. | ||
| We're touring, so you can go to dolloppodcast.com. | ||
| I'll be recording some shows in Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver. | ||
| You can go to garethreynolds.com for those stand-up shows. | ||
| And listen to the dollop, like you said. | ||
| Hell yeah. | ||
| Dave? | ||
| I got nothing. | ||
| You know. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| Check me out on Twitter. | ||
| I'm yelling at people. | ||
| You can get into Dave's Twitter bar. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Got that protected status. | |
| Don't you think Twitter ends with me having blocked everybody on Twitter just yelling at myself? | ||
| I think it ends when you realize you can block yourself. | ||
| If you do end up blocking everybody and you're just yelling at yourself, eventually this episode of Alex is going to be your future. | ||
| Well, thanks again, guys. | ||
| It's been a real pleasure, and I hope we can do it again sometime. | ||
| Yeah, love to. | ||
| Thanks, dude. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||

Hello, Alex. | |
