#716: April 25, 2014

#716: April 25, 2014 dissects Alex Jones’ 2014 broadcast, where he framed Ukraine-Russia tensions as a "third world war" conspiracy, blamed Glenn Beck for being an FBI operative, and spiraled into unhinged claims—like socialist globalists harassing him in hot tubs. Guests Gareth Reynolds and Dave Anthony mock his erratic logic, reliance on fringe sources (e.g., wife’s tennis partner), and workplace culture where employees may internalize conspiracy theories. Jones’ chaotic shifts from nuclear war threats to self-justification reveal a pattern of unprepared, hyperbolic rants designed for shock value rather than substance, exposing the fragility of his claims under scrutiny.

dan friesen
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.
unidentified
Dan and Jordan, I am sweating.

It's time to pray.
dave anthony
I have great respect for knowledge fight.
alex jones
Knowledge fight.
I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys.
Shang, we are the bad guys.
Knowledge and fight.
unidentified
Dan and Jordan.
dave anthony
Knowledge fight.
alex jones
I need money.
Andy and Pansy.
dave anthony
Stop.
alex jones
Andy and Pansy.
Andy in Kansas.
It's time to pray.
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding us.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
I'm a Fitzpin Color Amber Huge fan.
alex jones
I love your room.
Knowledge Fight.
KnowledgeFight.com.
dan friesen
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.
But 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.
gareth reynolds
Suck it, Jordan.
dave anthony
Yeah, Jordan's out.
This is a permanent thing, I think.
dan friesen
We're going to go trios.
I like it.
dave anthony
Yeah, Jordan.
gareth reynolds
There's a great way that we got it set up was pretty smooth and easy.
So I feel like we're like, there's a synergy.
dan friesen
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, you know, like the Jade Helm episode.
Jade Helm guys did.
Cliven Bundy, perhaps.
dave anthony
Yep.
Our God.
Yeah, we did.
We did.
We've done two on the Bundies or three?
Two on the Bundies, right?
dan friesen
Two, yeah.
I was wondering, though, how much connection do you have to Alex Jones himself?
What's your level?
gareth reynolds
Via the show zero offline tons.
dave anthony
Yeah.
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
I think that your personalities would mesh amazingly.
I think the two people are going to be able to do it.
dave anthony
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.
gareth reynolds
And protein powders.
dan friesen
Climate change isn't real.
That's one of his big things.
dave anthony
That's me.
gareth reynolds
lizard people do you guys know but i don't think we've really we've not no we've not really gotten into alex ever If anything, it would be maybe just a show.
Yeah, maybe just minorly on the show.
dave anthony
Yeah, a little bit more.
I've always avoided him completely.
The only thing I really know about him is listening to your podcast.
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.
gareth reynolds
And it seems like he's had a quiet couple of weeks.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's been real tame.
He has, I think, abandoned Trump again.
And so that's a good sign for the investigation and the FBI raid.
dave anthony
You know, I know someone who punched him and knocked him out.
Alex?
Charlie.
Yeah, 20 some odd years ago in Texas.
dan friesen
Is this Space Hitler?
dave anthony
No, this is a guy named Charlie.
gareth reynolds
I'm just loving the conversation we're having from the sidelines right now.
dan friesen
That might also be Space Hitler.
dave anthony
Is it Space Hitler?
No, Charlie.
There was a guy who would troll.
No, Charlie is a guy who is associated with the festival in Austin, South Bay, Southwest.
gareth reynolds
Oh, wow.
He punched him, huh?
dave anthony
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.
dan friesen
You get local hero status.
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, I would like to say that I am thrilled with violence.
gareth reynolds
I'm just happy to know there's a space Hitler.
Yeah.
dan friesen
I think that might be the same guy because there was a dude who would like troll him on his public access show and they ended up getting into a fight in a parking lot.
dave anthony
And I think that Space Hitler was there and that was the same night and two guys hit.
Can I think Space Hitler was also involved?
unidentified
Okay.
dave anthony
A different guy though.
Yeah.
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
Space Hitler was on the grassy knoll.
gareth reynolds
Space Hitler was on the grassy knoll.
Hey, Kennedy's brains.
dan friesen
So you guys didn't even like, even before like present days, did you, you didn't have any kind of like impression of Alex Jones as a figure?
gareth reynolds
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
He was somebody who existed.
gareth reynolds
Oh, 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 obviously have been following his lunacy for, what, the better part of a decade, really.
dave anthony
Yeah, but I purposely got him away 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.
dan friesen
Yeah, that got me sub-tweeted by the director.
unidentified
Oh, really?
dave anthony
It's her, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, she did a terrible job.
She did a terrible job.
dan friesen
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.
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 Dollar.
dave anthony
Wow.
Oh.
dan friesen
And see what Alex Jones was doing.
unidentified
This is around, I mean, Jade Helm was starting to kick up.
dan friesen
I think that heat was a little bit more in the 15, though, right?
Wasn't it?
Was it okay?
gareth reynolds
The Bundy.
I mean, our first episode is the Bundy.
So it was right in the Bundy rage.
dan friesen
Oh, Bundy's will come up.
dave anthony
Yeah, he was into that.
dan friesen
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.
alex jones
Ukrainian helicopter hit by grenade taking off.
Ukraine helicopter has been crippled in a grenade attack in Kiev.
Warrens Moscow is engineering a third world war.
That's the London 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.
dan friesen
So yeah, we go back into the past and we see something pretty reminiscent of recent news.
gareth reynolds
Wow.
Yeah.
So rational.
dave anthony
So that's one of the problems with him is that sometimes he sounds like that and then other times he's screaming about you.
dan friesen
You're like, wait, well, here's the problem.
That's just him reading headlines.
There's no interpretation.
It's pretty easy to sound fairly rational when you're just like cold reading.
Here is a thing that happened.
dave anthony
Yeah.
dan friesen
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.
alex jones
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 say 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 10 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, is trying to breed a larger roostki population because it realizes that its own system is collapsing.
The globalist spider is a transhumanist, power-tripping spider that believes it's God and is attacking anything decent.
dan friesen
I see you're trying to make sense of this, Dave.
You're tracking the thought.
dave anthony
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.
dan friesen
It's got a web.
It's going to suck the dry.
gareth reynolds
I like the sucking dry spider.
It's almost like, I mean, you know how it is.
Like 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, you could, you're like, towards the end, you're like, I think he might actually think this is spiders that are doing this.
dan friesen
Yeah, he just watched Wild Wild West the night before.
He was on some cost service.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
unidentified
Kevin Klein is behind the spiders.
dan friesen
Kevin Klein 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.
gareth reynolds
Right.
dan friesen
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.
dave anthony
He's also saying Russia is collapsing at the same time.
dan friesen
True, but it's in a sympathetic way, I think.
dave anthony
It's as soon as they're the big victim sort of.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, they're the victim spider.
dan friesen
Yeah, they're the victim spider.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
dan friesen
Come on, it's a classic victim spider situation.
gareth reynolds
Come on.
You know what I mean?
You got to help the victim spider.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's, it's, um, so, you know, with the taking of Crimea and that, that kind of actions that were happening, this, like, their collapsing is kind of an excuse for why they would take these like oil-rich areas and these resources.
It's like, oh, they're collapsing.
They need to do this.
They need to breed more Russians.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, Russian spiders.
dave anthony
Literally, no one's ever said that.
They need to breed more Russians.
gareth reynolds
They're doing that at my Humane Society.
dan friesen
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?
dave anthony
Oh, man.
Oh, this 2014 fight or the one today?
dan friesen
In 2014.
dave anthony
2014.
No.
Oh, God, no.
If you said it involved something being shot down, right?
Then there's no way it's real.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, it's false spider.
dave anthony
If anything's shot down out of the sky, then Alex, it's not real.
It can't be real.
gareth reynolds
False flag spider.
False flag spider.
dan friesen
It's too similar to Black Hawk Down.
gareth reynolds
It's all fake.
dan friesen
Well, here we go.
Let's see.
alex jones
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.
dan friesen
Well, there we are.
unidentified
But maybe Ukraine and Russia or between the spiders.
dave anthony
The EU.
Which spiders, though?
There's three spiders involved.
dan friesen
I don't think Ukraine's a spider.
dave anthony
Rukain's not a spider.
Ukraine's a fly.
dan friesen
Yeah, Ukraine's a fly.
gareth reynolds
Right.
dave anthony
So is he saying Russia and the EU are working together?
dan friesen
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.
gareth reynolds
It's just great because it's like the way that he's able to like, you know, bring that up and be like, I mean, my gut is that's not what's going on.
It's like, dude, it's not, you're not rational.
If you're like, look, that might be what's going on.
I'm open to that possibility, obviously.
dan friesen
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.
gareth reynolds
My gut says it's not, but obviously it's very possible.
It's highly possible.
dan friesen
It seems like you only are talking about that distinct possibility that you don't think is correct.
gareth reynolds
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 that.
dave anthony
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
It was never a metaphor.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just the whole time.
He was living like Vincent D'Onofreo and Men in Black his whole life.
dan friesen
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 could be forgiven for thinking that.
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.
alex jones
But he's been off the last few days moving.
And I guess out of one apartment into a house while he's still trying to buy a house.
And so he's been listening to talk radio.
He was listening to our local affiliate 590 a.m. 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 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.
dan friesen
This is an emergency.
Glenn Beck is talking some shit.
unidentified
Here we go.
dave anthony
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 on his days off because Glenn Beck said some shit.
dan friesen
Yep.
gareth reynolds
You've 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.
dan friesen
It's actually a spider's nest.
gareth reynolds
It's a spider's nest, exactly.
Yeah.
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, he's leaving his apartment.
He's loading up the U-Haul.
dan friesen
He's on the way.
dave anthony
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.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
dan friesen
But in this case, it actually convinces me a little bit that he's telling the truth about this guy moving and being inconvenienced.
dave anthony
That for sure.
dan friesen
It seems real.
unidentified
Yeah, that's like, that's the, it's, yeah, the accidental truths.
gareth reynolds
You're like, I'm starting to think this guy might be moving.
That's all I'm buying.
dan friesen
And it sounds like Alex is a shitty boss.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, totally.
Yeah, to be like, I mean, I'm not sure what's going.
He's taking three days to move.
It's just kind of fucking ridiculous.
dave anthony
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.
unidentified
No, it is.
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
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.
So 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.
You know, like this is the kind of news organization that's like, Glenn Beck, you got to come in.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
World War III might be happening, but Glenn Beck has a 590 a.m. show.
We got to get into this.
dan friesen
But see, the problem is basically that Glenn Beck is just jealous of Alex, which I think we all could see coming.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
dave anthony
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 it.
dan friesen
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?
unidentified
God.
dave anthony
Is that where Crowder is?
dan friesen
I think he might be.
unidentified
So it's fucking two failed comedians.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, that's most of the right wing, right?
gareth reynolds
But let's be honest, Crowder is pretty funny.
dan friesen
So anyway, Alex believes that Glenn Beck is jealous of him.
alex jones
I know what this is.
He knows we're getting on affiliates all over the country.
The show is 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 a syndicator, premiere, 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.
unidentified
Yeah.
alex jones
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.
dave anthony
Wow.
dan friesen
He's beating Rush Limbaugh.
unidentified
Wow.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
Yeah.
Rush taking all the shrapnel.
dan friesen
Maybe mildly delusional, but cool.
gareth reynolds
I mean, as he's, as like, as someone's handing him like notes, letting him know Putin is thinking of dropping a nuke.
Hold on a second.
unidentified
So Rush is actually also intimidated by us over here at InfoWars.
dan friesen
And we have a strategy where, like a drug dealer, and I put my show on your Sunday night so you get a taste.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
For people who are moving, if you want to move and listen to a show, put us on.
dan friesen
We are the info dealers.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
dave anthony
I love that he's bragging about a Sunday night slot.
unidentified
It's like inside baseball.
gareth reynolds
Like if you're watching, you're just like, all right.
Sorry, are we fighting InfoWars or is this like a cool?
When do we go back to fighting InfoWars?
dan friesen
I think that this is something that's kind of like maybe underknown publicly is how much of his show ends up being kind of like this, where it's like no idea.
Why does anyone listen to?
gareth reynolds
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 we just need yes or no.
dan friesen
Yeah.
In his depositions, the best moments are the like, Mr. Jones, do you know what question you're answering?
And almost invariably the answer is no.
He has no idea where the sentence started.
dave anthony
So this goes back to when Space Nazi and Charlie got 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.
unidentified
Like he's bragging, saying he's better than the radio spider.
dave anthony
It just doesn't fucking matter.
It just doesn't matter anymore.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
There's a bit of projection, possibly.
gareth reynolds
I think that I'm picking up on some of that too.
dan friesen
And yeah, he has a chip on his shoulder that's something that is also sort of ubiquitous throughout his career is this like, I'm the best, but also everyone is jealous of me.
And that's why that's why, 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.
dave anthony
This is huge news.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
dave anthony
It's so funny.
Radio guys have always talked shit about each other.
They can't not do it.
gareth reynolds
No, that is very true.
dan friesen
Well, it's such a, it's such a community, you know, it's such a forgotten community.
It was something that was like the, they were the rock stars in the 50s.
You know?
gareth reynolds
Oh, yeah.
Wolfman.
Speaking the records.
Yeah.
unidentified
And now Alex Jones brought low.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So Alex is going to bring up some of the accusations that Glenn Beck has made about him here in this next clip.
gareth reynolds
It's important to double down on the important news of the day.
dan friesen
I mean, this is definitely the top story.
gareth reynolds
Obviously.
alex jones
I'm going to talk the night 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 was 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 you said could be taken as offensive.
I mean, like, I know there's black people out here.
I'll bring one in the house now around here.
I mean, it's, I mean, it's just literally out in the middle of nowhere.
It'd be like, I brought a Yankee in here.
I saw him.
City Slicker.
I mean, these are folks in the desert seven generations.
So.
dan friesen
Yeah, so he might just be a fossil, but he's not racist.
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
Well, he's nothing if not like self-obsessed.
unidentified
And so that does happen a lot.
gareth reynolds
But the way that you're talking about posting audio files at like, it's like it's like, well, yeah, honestly, nobody just, nobody cares.
What are you, what's actually important?
dan friesen
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 Clivin 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.
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
Basically, though, everything that Glenn Beck appears to be saying about Alex seems fair.
gareth reynolds
He's doing that thing where you're going, God damn it.
Now I agree with Glenn Beck, you asshole.
dan friesen
Yeah, that is the battle sometimes.
It's like, oh, no.
You made a good point about Alex Jones.
He's a low bar, though.
That's pretty unimpressive.
gareth reynolds
Yes, yes.
dan friesen
So yeah, look, Clivin Bundy, that was your guy's first episode, right?
gareth reynolds
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 Bundies.
dan friesen
It was magic in a bottle.
And the same day you put out that episode, this was happening on Alex's show.
Talking about Clive and Bundy and how he is, he's just old-fashioned, man.
gareth reynolds
He's a hustle.
dan friesen
You've got to understand.
unidentified
Awesome, say the N-word.
alex jones
He's running the hillbellies in the middle of nowhere that do talk like this.
And they're actually not racists.
No.
They are literally out of the time machine.
unidentified
Right.
alex jones
But there's bad things if you go back in 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.
dave anthony
The one thing I will say he's correct on is the Bunnies war against Tiananmen Square.
Yes.
gareth reynolds
It's just like the more that that goes on, the more it's like, Jesus Christ, what is he mad living?
dave anthony
More or less.
dan friesen
He loses the thread quite a bit.
dave anthony
He seems to like sometimes he's like a guy who starts running downhill and he can't stop.
gareth reynolds
And he's just like, let's start a GoFundMe to get him running down a hill.
I would love to see that footage.
I live 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.
True.
dan friesen
I think one of the problems with that entire roll downhill and the momentum of it was that there was some, like there was something true to it.
Like they are essentially from a time machine, but they're coming from a racist time.
You know?
Yeah.
So you're making an excuse for this by being like, no, Their minds are back from slavery time.
unidentified
Yeah.
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
If they are time travelers, then we need to teach them about the modern world.
gareth reynolds
No, no, no.
unidentified
Then the whole space-time continuum, then you're jumping in the middle of the pool of the ripple effect.
gareth reynolds
You don't understand what you're doing to the universe.
dave anthony
Oh, no.
unidentified
Open up the world to spiders.
dan friesen
Time spiders.
So we have a little bit more Russia and Ukraine news that comes up.
unidentified
And a lot of people think Glenn Beck's behind it.
dan friesen
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.
alex jones
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?
There's 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.
dan friesen
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.
But Dave, you seem to have maybe a bone to pick with Texas.
dave anthony
It just made me laugh that he put like the main targets through Central Texas.
gareth reynolds
Central Texas.
dave anthony
I mean, all right.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, the great threat of central Texas.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
gareth reynolds
We'll hit them right where the economy's heart pulses from.
The middle of Texas.
dan friesen
We've long known that the Kremlin wants to take out Bevo, the University of Austin.
unidentified
If they eradicate Wattaburger, then they will be plenty in our hands.
You see at the red dawn, we have to take out the football capitals first.
gareth reynolds
That's right.
Texas A ⁇ M is where this Hydra heads from.
dan friesen
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.
david knight
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 wanted to be on the other side of the story because InfoWars made this a national story.
He goes, that should be a red flag.
Not a false flag, ha, ha, ha, but a red flag.
alex jones
I'm blaming Drudge, I'm giving him the credit.
Drudge made it a national story.
We broke it.
He made a national.
It is a big story.
david knight
And he's saying that, you know, we're constantly pushing for revolutionary thing.
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 Tineman 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.
alex jones
He was getting back up there.
david knight
There was one guy on the bridge.
They keep showing that picture from multiple angles, okay?
alex jones
But now it's been projected onto us.
And now we weren't there this weekend when he made the black comments.
And then you said he said basically we were involved in that.
david knight
He said, these guys are embedded there.
They're everywhere.
He goes, they know that he was making those comments last Saturday.
Well, that was not even the same Saturday.
He's totally out of the seat.
alex jones
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 Sharpman's FBI, I will bet my right arm the FBI is feeding all this to Glenn Beck.
Glenn Beck is the FBI.
unidentified
Oh, my God.
gareth reynolds
Glenn Beck.
Oh, my God.
It's like beautiful.
It's like jazz nonsense.
It's like jazz.
I mean, it is, 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.
dan friesen
Yep.
Playing the clip wouldn't be as fun.
dave anthony
Glenn Beck is the FBI.
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
Do you think that Glenn Beck is FBI?
dave anthony
100%.
gareth reynolds
I mean, I did it after I heard this.
Yeah, the evidence is pretty strong.
dan friesen
Now, more important question.
Do you think that Alex knew he was going to make that accusation when the sentence started?
unidentified
No.
gareth reynolds
Honestly, I think, you know, I, again, I mean, we're outsider-y, but it is.
There's just, there's, there's, 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 Plinkoing.
He's bouncing around and then spider FBI and then it drops false flag and then it drops in the FBI.
unidentified
And so Glenn Beck's the FBI.
dan friesen
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.
gareth reynolds
Oh, he must have been wrong about the FBI thing because he still has his right arm.
dan friesen
Well, yeah.
And he's, you know, one of the great things about Alex is that every episode is a bottle episode, you know, nothing really, there's no, you don't have to hold yourself to any of these predictions like nuclear war.
Glenn Beck is the FBI.
It all just washes away tomorrow.
It's it's awesome.
gareth reynolds
So he's kind of like Groundhog Day conspiracy man.
dan friesen
No continuity.
Right.
dave anthony
I wonder how many times he's like predicted like, you know, something like nuclear war.
Like if you could go back and count, it would be incredible.
dan friesen
Over 20 years, like on our show, I would say at least 50 times I've heard it.
dave anthony
It was so good.
dan friesen
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.
dave anthony
Now, did David, is David Knight still with Glenn Beck?
I know he's got his own radio show on iHeart or whatever.
dan friesen
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 Pieczenik.
Steve Pieczenik 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.
dave anthony
You never say that to never say don't believe anything to Alex Jones.
You will get fired.
dan friesen
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.
unidentified
Yeah.
dave anthony
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.
dan friesen
Do you think that they actually believe the stuff around the water cooler or it's like comics pitching jokes to each other?
Do you think there's something here?
Glenn Beck is FBI.
Do you think there's something here?
dave anthony
Yeah, I think they believe.
I think they're the kind of guys that just endlessly talk nonsense.
It goes back to when the Bundies 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.
Like, I think once it got started, they just sit around talking and they're all yes standing.
And they all, they, on some level, know it's not true, but they're also so fucking deranged that they inherently believe it.
gareth reynolds
Does that make sense?
dave anthony
Yeah.
gareth reynolds
And I think that is what makes like the like the grifting of today more dangerous.
Because I think they like, 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.
They are because, you know, they, you don't want 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, and find when you find an audience, of course you're going to keep believing it, you know, air quoting beliefs.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And the first person to like break Kfabe in that environment is going to get eaten by the other grift spiders.
gareth reynolds
Right.
dan friesen
You know, they're good.
gareth reynolds
Right.
dan friesen
And it'll only reinforce the Kfabe.
And it's like, oh, no, you were the one who wasn't.
gareth reynolds
But you were to be there the day when Alex Jones just goes, I've been lying.
unidentified
And they're all like, oh, we have two, sir.
gareth reynolds
I know.
dan friesen
That'll take some serious AA meetings, I think, before we actually 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.
alex jones
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?
david knight
That's right.
alex jones
Have there been any other directives about anything else?
david knight
No.
alex jones
And just tell the truth.
david knight
It was very hard to do that.
alex jones
And don't invite and keep the eyes on stopping the globalists.
david knight
That's right.
dan friesen
Yep.
Tell the truth, I guess, abstractly and leave Glenn Beck alone.
dave anthony
You don't want to attack our other ally that's fighting against the globalists.
Come on, man.
Think about it.
dan friesen
It's the only bucket of rule.
Rule one of InfoWars, don't attack Glenn Beck.
Rule number two, don't attack Glenn Beck.
gareth reynolds
And that's it.
dan friesen
I love the moment of, are there any other directives?
dave anthony
Nope.
gareth reynolds
If you're him, you're probably like, well, shit, I think I'm supposed to say no, but that's a crazy answer.
But I want he's goading me to saying no.
No, no, that's it.
You kick on someone's keypad.
You can punch people.
You don't need to wear clothes around here.
You can steal.
dan friesen
Just leave Glenn Beck the fuck alone.
gareth reynolds
Do not hurt that.
dan friesen
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.
david knight
And as Jesse Ventura said, I don't know if it was his original expression.
First they assassinate your character, then they assassinate you.
alex jones
That was Gandhi.
It was Gandhi.
david knight
Okay, that's what Gandhi said.
dave anthony
Okay.
dan friesen
Easy to mix up.
Busy Victor and Gandhi.
unidentified
Gandhi was also the one who came up with the suplex.
gareth reynolds
Gandhi.
Oh my god, I mean to not to live in an environment where that is not like that.
That is just a passing moment, mixing Jesse the Body, Ventura and Uh, Gandhi again.
dan friesen
Okay, fun fact, it's actually uh, not even a Gandhi quote.
gareth reynolds
So it did sound a little like aggressive for a Gandhi quote.
dave anthony
Gandhi said, let don't shoot until they see the whites of your eyes.
unidentified
That was Gandhi yeah yeah, from my cold dead hand, Gandhi.
dave anthony
No, that was still cold.
Steve Austin, you're getting all fucked.
gareth reynolds
That was gold in my ear Gandhi.
dan friesen
Gandhi 316 says I just whipped her ass.
unidentified
Tell me, i'm an ass taste they.
dan friesen
They have a fraught relationship with quotes on uh, on Infowars.
We covered his documentary End Game and I was fascinated because every quote was fake, like.
It was just like wall to wall Jefferson quotes that weren't real, a couple of Hitler quotes that were fake.
It was just, it was wild it's.
I don't understand how you can like take such stock in these quotes and just be like, wow, that that's actually just from a meme.
I don't know, it's not real.
gareth reynolds
Well still, it's very pretty good meme.
dan friesen
It sounds good.
dave anthony
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, it's a thing, um.
dan friesen
So in this next clip we have Alex.
This is I. I'll be honest with you, i'm not sure if there's much of a point to this clip.
Um okay, but i'm playing it because I want you to feel what it's like uh, to like to have some ramble in your life.
Thank you, like it's, it's really just aimless.
alex jones
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 what just I am steering into the flak.
The more I get, the more I know i'm on target.
So I 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.
dan friesen
Yeah, So there are long stretches of his show that just are like that.
It's clear he's talking to himself.
gareth reynolds
Right.
dave anthony
Yeah, it's just rambling nonsense.
gareth reynolds
Well, and it actually reminds me a lot of the Hulk Hogan quote, thou doth protest too much.
dan friesen
That was actually Che.
gareth reynolds
Oh, sorry.
Damn it.
Well, either way, the point stands.
dan friesen
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.
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
It generally means you've been accused of that.
unidentified
Yes.
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
Well, you know, it's a self-soothing behavior.
That's what he's engaged in.
He's expressing this idea too, this like, you know, you get the flack when you're above the target.
And that's his way of justifying like every negative consequence that comes his way is actually a sign of his virtue.
Like he is, every attack is just because I'm so right about everything.
Yeah.
And it's pretty sad.
It's a bummer.
Sometimes you're just a dick.
gareth reynolds
And it's been so effective that it is like it is.
I mean, even then, like he was, you know, he was obviously such a powerful figure at that time.
But to think that that has even grown to, you know, grown out of that is so depressing because it's like it's been so effective.
Like, I mean, people like, I mean, it's basically, I remember when like my friend's mom was like, well, I watch Fox and News because it, Fox News, because it's fair and balanced.
And I was like, well, that's what they're saying.
unidentified
You know what I mean?
gareth reynolds
Like, that's their, what are you talking?
Like, it's that simple to hack our dumb little brains, you know?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Catchphrases, man.
They work.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
alex jones
Yeah.
unidentified
Yep.
gareth reynolds
Just ask Gandhi.
dan friesen
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.
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.
alex jones
We are marching, my friends, towards what all analysts openly say.
All analysts I've seen on television are read across the political spectrum could easily lead to thermal nuclear war.
Russian submarines carrying supersonic hydrogen bomb chips and cruise missiles are now popping up off the coast of the United States clearly to launch attacks if given the go-ahead codes against U.S. East Coast sub-bases and aircraft carrier bases.
Russia is openly saying that they are prepared for nuclear warning of the globalist forces in Ukraine launch attacks on Russian interests.
dan friesen
So it's a little dramatic.
unidentified
Oh man, that could be like.
dave anthony
You know, you throw some gorillas music behind that and you've got a hit track.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, it is.
It is a mashup.
That it's like it's.
unidentified
It's just a terrible remix.
dan friesen
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 on.
gareth reynolds
It's like Tony Bennett's duets.
It's just like he can sort of just he's bringing his spice to the classics.
dan friesen
Alex Jones doing the great American songbook.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, yeah.
And it's just the music while he's just talking about the reptilians.
dave anthony
Yeah, it's William Shatnery on his albums.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, right, right, yeah.
It really is.
dan friesen
A little angrier, maybe.
dave anthony
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Talking about Russian nuclear subs off the coast ready to launch.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
dan friesen
I don't think that's responsible, probably.
gareth reynolds
No.
No.
But God, I mean, that version is going to be stuck in my head all day.
dan friesen
So we get back to Glenn Beck business because, like I said, this is the top story.
gareth reynolds
We're on the brink of nuclear war.
Plus, that guy heard Glenn Beck while he was moving.
dan friesen
Right.
And it involves Alex.
And so it's very important.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
dan friesen
So apparently some people at Fox have told Alex some things that are disconcerting.
gareth reynolds
Fair bad.
alex jones
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 say, Glenn Beck is freaking out, climbing walls.
You can't come on now.
And I mean, that's fine.
I'm going over to the View and going over to do CNN.
I mean, it's not that big of a deal, but Glenn Beck and his quote people don't, you know, 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.
dan friesen
Wow.
alex jones
I can name names, but I'm not going to name names, folks.
Okay.
dan friesen
He's not going to name names.
But Glenn Beck is the government.
dave anthony
Yeah.
gareth reynolds
No, look, would naming names really help his case?
Because it's quite acclaim for sure.
But Alex isn't going to do that.
dan friesen
No, he's above it.
He's classy.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, he's a classic.
He's a class act.
dave anthony
He was actually on the view.
dan friesen
He was.
Yeah, he was on talking about Charlie Sheen.
gareth reynolds
Oh, fuck.
He was in the Joy Bayar.
dan friesen
Charlie Sheen had that meltdown on Alex's show.
That was where it all happened.
Because Alex was at the center of that, he got invited on The View and just yelled Infowars.com a bit.
It's pretty surreal, though, to see him sitting there on that set.
gareth reynolds
That's definitely green screened.
I also like that Glenn Beck is climbing the walls like Spider-Man.
So Glenn Beck, 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.
dan friesen
He got upgraded from the FBI to the whole government, which is pretty impressive over the course of like an hour.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, within an hour.
So that's huge.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And apparently he's part of the spider-verse of being able to climb the walls.
dave anthony
Have you ever seen Glenn Glenn Beck's Christmas show, his one-man show about Randall, the boy in the bicycle?
Have you ever seen it?
dan friesen
I have not.
dave anthony
No, sir.
I cannot recommend it enough.
The man is out of his fucking mind.
And we watched it in the theater, me and Josh Olson.
And people got mad at us for laughing.
Yeah, like the right-wing people were very, like, they were decked out in their full flags and all that shit.
dan friesen
I can't imagine a scarier environment to see a movie.
dave anthony
Like that.
It is a deep, deep, deep journey into the mind of Glenn Beck and his fucking outstanding.
dan friesen
I know I've heard some great reviews of his books.
dave anthony
I've never read a book.
I mean, his books.
I've read books.
unidentified
I've heard negative reviews of his books.
dave anthony
I can imagine.
dan friesen
So Alex isn't.
He's not going to name names.
gareth reynolds
Nope.
dan friesen
That is a policy that he has.
But maybe.
dave anthony
Yeah.
gareth reynolds
I mean, in a way, it shows you that, you know, he is honorable when it comes to not outing these sources.
dan friesen
Sure.
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
Could you give us a damn specific, please?
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
Well, maybe he will.
Maybe he will.
alex jones
Glenn Beck, you want it, buddy?
Maybe I'll name names, son.
Oh, you want it?
You're going to get it.
You want it?
You're going to get it.
Because I gave you the benefit of the doubt.
And I knew you were after me.
unidentified
I said, leave me alone.
gareth reynolds
What?
alex jones
You think the fact that you're Benedict Arnold 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.
dan friesen
Whoa.
gareth reynolds
What?
dan friesen
He's got him.
alex jones
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.
gareth reynolds
Oh, my God.
dan friesen
This is quite a threat.
dave anthony
It's exactly a CIA FBI substation.
gareth reynolds
Substation.
unidentified
Yeah.
dave anthony
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.
It's over.
dan friesen
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.
gareth reynolds
And again, once you get the dossiers compiled, which I'm sure they were and put out, I bet.
dan friesen
Yeah.
gareth reynolds
I'm sure that that was validating and corroborated all of it.
dan friesen
Well, sure.
Yeah.
And Glenn Beck went away because he was shamed out of the public.
gareth reynolds
Well, it was revealed that he was the government and that's over.
dan friesen
And then he got deposed, I guess, because he's no longer the government.
gareth reynolds
Nope.
dan friesen
There was a coup.
dave anthony
No, but he still runs the FBI CA substation.
gareth reynolds
We got your substations.
dan friesen
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.
dave anthony
Or it's actually a station on a sub.
Think about it.
dan friesen
Whoa.
In the middle of Texas?
Because doesn't he operate out of Dallas?
Maybe that's the high-level target that the nuke was going to say.
gareth reynolds
I was just going to say you better be careful where he's operating from.
dave anthony
Now we're getting to Jade Helm, aren't we?
gareth reynolds
Wow.
dave anthony
Yeah.
dan friesen
Just got to figure out how the spiders play into this, and we are on to something.
gareth reynolds
Man, he must, he must, I mean, I don't, I mean, what the level of drugs to keep this up.
dave anthony
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?
dan friesen
He's definitely a drunk for sure.
dave anthony
Okay.
dan friesen
He's, he does his show drunk sometimes, less so lately, but in the past, he would, 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.
But he also, he told me, why did he have a hatchet?
Why didn't he?
gareth reynolds
Why wouldn't he have a hatchet?
Because it was Christmas Eve, dummy.
dan friesen
Sometimes he has big knives in the studio.
Sometimes he has like a Barrett 40 Cal cannon.
dave anthony
Oh my God.
dan friesen
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.
gareth reynolds
Right.
dave anthony
It feels like it.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, that shakes the words running.
dan friesen
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.
And what he does is pretty high intensity.
And to not have some kind of a supplement, if you will.
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
Oh, 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.
dave anthony
Friends.
gareth reynolds
Friends of the music.
dan friesen
But it's friends.
unidentified
Yes.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
And I know from having done cocaine at three or four in the morning.
Sorry, wait.
unidentified
But it is.
gareth reynolds
But while, 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.
dan friesen
This is how Alex gets away with forgetting that Glenn Beck is the government.
gareth reynolds
Right.
Right.
dan friesen
His holes in his memory.
gareth reynolds
Sure.
dan friesen
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.
dave anthony
This is one fucking day of a fucking show.
This is one day.
This is fucking crazy.
gareth reynolds
Dave, this is bad.
dan friesen
Dave, honestly, this is one of the less crazy.
I was worried that some of these clips would be very boring.
gareth reynolds
Wow.
dan friesen
So here is Alex calling for some help.
alex jones
I wonder what Anonymous is going to do about this.
Anonymous?
Are you going to let them bring me down?
gareth reynolds
What?
alex jones
I'm for real.
I need the Rock Fruits to come to my aid right now.
I'm going to tell the enemy he's rolling the Death Star around.
He's going to be clear to fire in five minutes.
What are you going to do?
unidentified
What?
alex jones
I need you to help me.
I'm for real.
dan friesen
These people want to bring me down.
alex jones
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.
dan friesen
Yeah, the Thomas Jefferson media.
gareth reynolds
What the fuck is happening?
It's amazing.
But it's like, 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 to the point now where he's like, look, Anonymous, you're with the crosshairs now.
dan friesen
Yeah.
You're just as exposed as I am here, you know?
gareth reynolds
To Glenn Beck because he's the government.
dan friesen
Anonymous.
unidentified
Glenn Beck will unmask you and take you down.
dave anthony
Yeah.
dan friesen
I do love that.
At this point, Alex is looking at Anonymous as like some kind of a like, they got my back.
gareth reynolds
Come on, brothers.
dave anthony
Do we even know?
Wait, have we heard what Glenn Beck said about him yet?
dan friesen
He said that the InfoWars wants a revolution and that he didn't want to get involved with the Bundies because InfoWars was involved.
gareth reynolds
And he made a whole joke.
dave anthony
He just made a very nearly offhanded comment, and this is what's happening.
dan friesen
And he also said that Alex was excusing the racism of Clive and Bundy's comments.
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
Right.
You'd be time travelist if you didn't.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, that's right.
dave anthony
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 because he made those comments, now they are taking down everything.
dan friesen
They're calling on anonymous.
Bring down all of Glenn Beck's operation.
gareth reynolds
Dave, this is part of the Globalist Death Star.
You should be freaked out.
dan friesen
They're ready to fire in five minutes.
gareth reynolds
You should be worried right now.
In the past 90 minutes, Glenn Beck has gone from an AM radio show host to cable news host to now he's the government who is going to unmask and take down all of these people.
dan friesen
Listen, Anonymous, if you don't stop him now, he's going to get his ATATs out and he's going to storm your base.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
I hate to say this, guys, because if you're having this much of wonderment at this point, I don't know if you can handle the next clip.
gareth reynolds
Oh, let's go.
I cannot fucking wait.
dan friesen
Because this is something that's kind of normal on his show, but for you, this might be a lot to take in.
gareth reynolds
I'm going to throw a hatchet.
dan friesen
Okay.
alex jones
I'm going to say a prayer.
God, I recognize that this is a key juncture point that the enemy realizes that we're going exponentially as they come after us with their operatives.
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.
gareth reynolds
Oh my God.
unidentified
Oh my God.
dave anthony
I mean, the best prayers always have my enemies, foreign and domestic within them.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
unidentified
Man, to the balls.
gareth reynolds
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 like pretty much one-on-one public prayers with God.
Religion was really the only thing separating him from Jim Jones.
And then boom.
dan friesen
He prays on air more than you'd think.
And it's suspicious how often the prayers seem to be a performance.
There's a little bit of a, he's talking about Glenn Beck in this prayer, very clearly.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, he's sub-praying Beck.
That's a sub-prayer.
dan friesen
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.
alex jones
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.
unidentified
Wow.
alex jones
And I just pray that that happen.
And if it's God's will, it will.
He likes to invoke God all day.
When I invoke God, I do it very humbly in God's presence.
dan friesen
Yeah, when Alex does it, it's classy.
dave anthony
Oh, yeah, for sure.
You can kind of pinky.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
He's sort of looking down on Glenn Beck for evoking God and bringing God up after he just prayed about his enemies, foreign and domestic.
unidentified
Man, it's tough to move your head around.
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
Sure.
The terrified of spiders, Jones, the just reading headlines, Jones.
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
The very red Alex Jones from that picture, that before and after picture of him.
gareth reynolds
Tomato Jones.
unidentified
man i i mean orlando jones it's not the actor It's actually just like a Florida Alex Jones.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
He has like bored shorts and a Hawaiian shirt.
gareth reynolds
It's really remarkable to think that nothing has changed.
unidentified
Since 2014?
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
I don't think he's drunk, to be fair.
I can usually tell like these, 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?
unidentified
Yeah, he could end up in Mordor.
dan friesen
He could end up just at the other side of the Shire.
Who knows?
unidentified
It's madness.
gareth reynolds
It's Plinka.
Who knows where the Plinka?
unidentified
I mean, that is fucking amazing.
dan friesen
We have learned just an immense amount.
But we have more to learn about Glenn Beck.
gareth reynolds
Good.
dan friesen
Because we've learned he's the FBI.
unidentified
Is he Obama?
dan friesen
Hold on.
Maybe not.
gareth reynolds
Oh.
dan friesen
Maybe he's above Obama.
alex jones
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 month, it's like money bombs 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 a Southern Poverty Law Center.
Media matters line then and 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 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.
gareth reynolds
What if you're like bragging?
Nobody's talking to me about this stuff.
unidentified
This is all straight off of the dome.
dan friesen
I'm just riffing this shit out.
gareth reynolds
Believe it or not, I am coming up with this.
dave anthony
Dylan is like if you're Glenn Beck, you're like, okay, so how do I counter this?
gareth reynolds
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.
unidentified
What's he saying?
gareth reynolds
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 it.
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?
unidentified
In the last 15 minutes?
Yeah, yeah.
gareth reynolds
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.
dave anthony
You have a sub FBI CIA station.
gareth reynolds
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.
And that that's sort of, so you're no longer part of the government.
You're 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.
dave anthony
Sometimes I just think about how I wanted to be a stand-up.
gareth reynolds
Hey, Glenn, sorry.
I know it's only about eight minutes.
dave anthony
Yeah.
gareth reynolds
You're above Obama now.
You might be Obama.
dave anthony
How is that?
How am I supposed to say anything?
gareth reynolds
The show's got another two hours.
dave anthony
He's been running for 17 minutes.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we'll keep you posted.
unidentified
Can I get back on with, can I get back on with Samantha B to talk to her about this?
Can I apologize for something?
gareth reynolds
Can I talk to him?
dan friesen
This is definitely a heavy day for Alex in terms of like escalating.
It doesn't always snowball quite like this.
dave anthony
It feels druggy.
It feels like he's been popping pills as this has been going on.
gareth reynolds
Speaking of snowballs.
dave anthony
Maybe they just have a frog machine in the studio, but it just releases Adderall.
dan friesen
Ooh, vaporized Adderall.
dave anthony
That's a good theory.
dan friesen
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.
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
That's one of the problems with this style of broadcast just in general.
dave anthony
Yeah.
The whole media.
I mean, I've had friends that have gone completely insane because they're just in a room talking to themself on YouTube.
Like, yeah, it's a bad medium if you're alone and no one is going, hey, check yourself a little bit here.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
dan friesen
If you don't have a boss and like 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 do you get it?
How are you exciting if you're used to saying extreme stuff?
Like it's a downward spiral.
gareth reynolds
And tomorrow, you need to say some crazier shit.
dan friesen
Like, what's Glenn Beck going to be tomorrow?
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
dan friesen
We all have Washington subs off the coast ready to nuke America and Glenn Beck is above Obama.
gareth reynolds
I've got a new, I think, Dan, a new merch pitch would be, what's Glenn Beck going to be tomorrow?
dan friesen
I'm going to have Jordan on our T-Public or whatever.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, yeah.
dave anthony
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.
gareth reynolds
I think it'll happen.
dan friesen
To be fair, I think Alex has said way worse things about Glenn Beck than this.
This could be argued to be a compliment.
gareth reynolds
In a way, it's a scary compliment, but in a way it is.
You are higher than Obama.
dan friesen
Yeah.
gareth reynolds
You know who's higher than Obama?
Alex Jones.
He is high as fuck.
dan friesen
Yeah.
But it's definitely an insult or an accusation that involves competence.
Like, Glenn Beck, you are so competent that you are above the president.
gareth reynolds
Anonymous, let's go.
dan friesen
Yeah, I need a giant team of faceless hackers in order to take you down.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
dan friesen
I can rationalize that as being a positive.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
It's a scary compliment, but it's a compliment.
dave anthony
This was from 2014.
So did Anonymous come to help him?
I can't remember about the.
gareth reynolds
Well, Glenn Beck unmasked them.
Yeah, yeah.
Glenn Beck unmasked them.
unidentified
We saw Obama's birth certificate.
gareth reynolds
It was back.
dan friesen
Oh, actually, Alex doesn't believe the birth certificate stuff.
dave anthony
He did it.
Oh, my God.
gareth reynolds
What a line.
He did it.
dan friesen
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 like take the bait.
dave anthony
It's a false flag birth certificate.
You bet.
dan friesen
You bet.
In reality, Obama's dad is Frank Marshall Davis.
unidentified
Sorry?
dan friesen
Is 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.
gareth reynolds
Oh, my Lord.
What a title.
unidentified
It's still a bit racist, to be honest.
gareth reynolds
It was a different time, Dan.
dan friesen
Alex is a time traveler.
unidentified
Is it time for God's sake?
dan friesen
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 WorldNet Daily onto the program.
dave anthony
Oh, God.
dan friesen
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.
dave anthony
Take out Alex or the World Network?
dan friesen
World Net Daily, back in the 90s.
Yeah.
And so now we're in 2014.
Sort of getting credibility off that.
dave anthony
Did they end up murdering?
They didn't.
unidentified
Okay.
dave anthony
No, because I'm not sure if he got murdered and then this is a clone or an imposter.
dan friesen
No, but they were close because he was asking too many questions about Vince Foster.
gareth reynolds
There's the buzz name.
dave anthony
Oh, gee.
Yeah.
dan friesen
So Farah, 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.
gareth reynolds
Oh, yes.
unidentified
For a long time, when I started the World Network Bear Ears, I thought to myself, you know, I wonder why nobody else is doing this.
I wonder why nobody else is seeing, hey, we're having a modest degree of success here.
Why isn't anybody joining the friend?
Finally, after, you know, many years, there's been info wars, there's a breitbart, there's a daily callers, you know, Glenn Beck.
You know, now we have some other folks out there joining us.
And we got to make sure that we don't split hairs with them.
The other side wants to have a united front.
Where's our united front?
alex jones
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.
gareth reynolds
God bless.
dave anthony
That's how I end my interviews.
Really, every lunch I have with anybody, I end him by saying, I'm glad you're not a coward.
That's always how I end things.
gareth reynolds
I do it after someone orders.
I'm glad you're not a coward.
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.
It's like, nobody wants Grandma.
He's hotter than Obama.
dan friesen
Yeah, there's some dissonance.
dave anthony
How do you not say to that guy, he says that about Glenn Beck?
And you go, well, you know, he has a substation.
He runs the FBI.
gareth reynolds
What's that, Alex?
dan friesen
I think this question answers itself.
And that is that Joseph Farah is not a coward.
gareth reynolds
Right.
dan friesen
Bringing this up would inevitably lead to some pushback.
And I think that's probably why.
Just go along to get along.
None of this means anything anyway.
Alex doesn't actually believe that Glenn Beck is above Obama.
gareth reynolds
But it's so clear there that that's the case because he's just, 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.
dan friesen
I just got to defend myself.
gareth reynolds
I got to 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 going to play us out.
dan friesen
Anonymous.
A little help from Anonymous.
Yeah, it's silly.
Things don't make sense.
And that's just part of the InfoWar.
gareth reynolds
Oh, man.
Man.
dan friesen
So 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.
alex jones
He's globalists are 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.
dan friesen
Glenn Beck.
alex jones
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 come over and go, ah, Alex Jones, you're a kook and idiot.
And I hate you.
I can kick your butt or black helicopter's kookman 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.
alex jones
And it just means nothing to me.
I was over to Buddies 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
They all sort of go, ah, ah, it was a couple months ago.
alex jones
Weldon was there.
He was over there with me.
We had a few beers, and I just looked at him, and I just kept talking to him, and they laughed because my buddies laughed because it meant nothing to me.
Those guys thought them laughing at me would upset me.
dan friesen
It didn't upset him.
dave anthony
He just was just talking about it.
gareth reynolds
They don't even remember it.
dan friesen
I always find that to be like really sincere and convincing when people.
gareth reynolds
It doesn't bother me.
unidentified
Yeah, it doesn't bother me at all.
Don't bother me.
gareth reynolds
I'm talking about it here because I'm fine with it.
I was just at a community pool slash hot tub.
dan friesen
Gareth, it seemed to disgust you a little bit.
You were taken aback by the community pool.
gareth reynolds
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?
unidentified
Like, yes, community hot tub.
gareth reynolds
It's like a community pool.
I'm like, all right, somewhere for the kids to go on the weekends.
It's the community hot tub.
It's like, all right, you fucking creep.
dan friesen
Yeah, the part after the slash was.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, community pool slash hot tub.
And also just picturing Alex Jones.
I mean, it reminded me of when, you know, they put Bug's bunny in a cauldron and try to cook him.
Like Alex Jones just in the hot tub.
Yeah, just Elmer Fudd carroting him up.
What color does Alex Jones turn in a hot tub?
dan friesen
It's Lobster Town, man.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, I mean, seriously, he must start crustaceaning.
dan friesen
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 we're going to 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's threatened by globalists in hot water a lot.
gareth reynolds
He might want to stare clear of some of these hot bodies.
dan friesen
But it's so hilarious.
dave anthony
Is there a space in here?
I'm a globalist.
gareth reynolds
Excuse me.
So it says six people at a time.
Is that six regular humans?
How many globalists may squeeze in?
dan friesen
Now, don't mind my eight legs.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, pardon me.
I'm in a ratman, you see.
dave anthony
The spider comes out.
gareth reynolds
And what do you do, sir?
I'm a globalist.
dan friesen
It's on the business card.
unidentified
Hey, globalist, we're both in the globalist business.
dan friesen
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 basically your birthday, your show's birthday.
dave anthony
Yeah.
Wow.
unidentified
I mean, at least everything's gone so much better since then.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, it is like, you know, I mean, he's, he's, you know, 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, he is, I mean, he is dangerous in so many ways, but it's also, this is the mind of a child.
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 strawman.
He's, 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 does.
I mean, he's like, every day he's a Pixar movie for him.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I'm certain he has essentially no preparation for anything.
dave anthony
Yeah.
dan friesen
Just seed of his pants.
gareth reynolds
Yeah.
dan friesen
And that's how you can get these ridiculous things, like an entire show where he's escalatingly accusing Glenn Beck of stuff.
gareth reynolds
Right.
dan friesen
It's like, well, I have nothing else really to talk about.
I've already made people scared about this nuclear war thing.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I got nowhere else to go with that.
gareth reynolds
I mean, it's just what can I say in between hawking survival items?
dan friesen
Yeah.
dave anthony
He really, 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 the stuff that, but he, that's all he does on his show.
Like it's, it's the kind of thoughts you have and then you go, oh, no, it's just Frank.
I just fucking call him.
unidentified
But but he just goes for hours.
dave anthony
It's a guy spiraling out for fucking hours.
gareth reynolds
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.
dan friesen
Well, again, like I said, the guy who was moving's brother heard it and told the guy who was moving.
gareth reynolds
I mean, it's like, come on.
dave anthony
God, it's so good.
gareth reynolds
He won't reveal his sources.
And when he does, it's a guy who works for me, brother, his brother.
dan friesen
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.
But yeah, you know, this show's stupid.
dave anthony
So the next day, is he just over it completely and onto something else?
Or does he continue on?
Will he continue on with something like this or will he just drop it?
dan friesen
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.
Sure.
Or like he went on Piers Morgan's show and yelled at him about guns because Alex started a petition to get Piers Morgan deported.
And then that's great.
gareth reynolds
Finally, we agree.
dan friesen
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.
dave anthony
That's not even remotely.
dan friesen
Don't tell Alex that.
unidentified
He will yell at you for weeks.
dave anthony
That's actually what the War of Indefense is about.
unidentified
Yeah.
dave anthony
There's gun confiscation.
gareth reynolds
Oh, my God.
Well, thank you for having us on, Dan.
dan friesen
Thank you.
I know 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.
gareth reynolds
Keep your eyes peeled.
We have a virtual show we're doing September 8th.
We're touring, so you can go to dollopodcast.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 dog, like you said.
dan friesen
Hell yeah.
Dave?
dave anthony
I got nothing.
You know.
dan friesen
Fair enough.
dave anthony
Check me out on Twitter.
I'm yelling at people.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, if you can get into Dave's Twitter bar.
dan friesen
Got that protected status.
dave anthony
Yeah.
Don't you think Twitter ends with me having blocked everybody on Twitter just yelling at myself?
gareth reynolds
I think it ends when you realize you can block yourself.
dan friesen
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.
gareth reynolds
I was just going to say, to InfoWars.
dave anthony
Yeah.
dan friesen
Well, thanks again, guys.
It's been a real pleasure and I hope we can do it again sometime.
gareth reynolds
Yeah, love to.
Thanks.
dan friesen
Awesome.
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified

I'm a huge fan.
alex jones
I love your work.
