#723: September 8, 2022
Today, Dan and Jordan check in to see how Alex responded to the news that the Queen had passed away. As it turns out, mostly with racism, anti-feminist chat, and laundering of Christian nationalism.

Hello, Alex. | |
| I'm a Christian caller. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| Hey, everybody! | ||
| Welcome back to Knowledge Fight, I'm Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| We're a couple dudes like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| Oh, indeed we are, Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Dan! | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Quick question for you. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| What's your bright spot today, buddy? | ||
| My bright spot today is that while we were recording our last episode, it was brought to my attention on Twitter that the all-star, greatest civil rights attorney of all time... | ||
| Norm Pattis dropped our name in a court hearing about Alex's bankruptcy shit. | ||
| Or about the Connecticut case. | ||
| Getting a name dropped! | ||
| Knowledge first, I believe you called us. | ||
| I'm happy with that. | ||
| I appreciate that. | ||
| If that was on purpose, top marks to you. | ||
| And if it's not on purpose, we earned it. | ||
| I respect that. | ||
| Civil rights attorney slash pantsless racist Stand-up comedian. | ||
| I was going to say, I think I would have preferred to be in his Type 5. Woke insurance agent. | ||
| I would have been like, I mean, if he had written a bit about how these two idiots in Chicago are SJWs or whatever, that would have been good. | ||
| I would have been happier with that. | ||
| Yeah, apparently we are a cottage industry. | ||
| I've been in front of a judge in more ways than I ever thought I would be. | ||
| That is definitely the case. | ||
| You were technically in front. | ||
| Facing the judge in Texas. | ||
| Just from a sort of spatial perspective. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| Not how I was expecting that to go. | ||
| No. | ||
| Certainly thought you would be facing a charge more than just a judge. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| So yeah, that was delightful. | ||
| When I saw the tweet, Anna Merlin tweeted she was following the hearing. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And when I first saw it, I was like... | ||
| That's nuts. | ||
| But also, I thought, like, what possible fucking context could this be in? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then someone linked a clip, and I was just like, what a loser. | ||
| Oh, yeah? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, you know, it's not as exciting as I would have hoped. | ||
| But also, just, come on, Norm. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You did stand-up where you said the N-word with your pants down. | |
| I know, you really can't. | ||
| There's just nothing you can do there. | ||
| I love the notion that there is something disqualifying about, like, let's say the plaintiff's lawyers appearing on our show or me being an expert consultant for that case. | ||
| Right. | ||
| When you could just flash to Norm sitting next to Alex drunkenly screaming about how he wants the lawyer's head on a pike. | ||
| There's that. | ||
| Yes, there is that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
On his show. | |
| There is that. | ||
| Like, it seems like, you know, don't... | ||
| Pursue this line too far, Norm, lest it bite you in the back, too. | ||
| Yeah, every time I hear civil rights lawyer, it's like, oh, man. | ||
| I just imagine Atticus Finch with his pants around his ankle saying the N-word in an open mic. | ||
| It's just like, you can't be a civil... | ||
| What? | ||
| I'm not even sure. | ||
| That didn't even feel like an open mic. | ||
| It seemed like a wedding reception or something. | ||
| Or a corporate event. | ||
| Also, that was in the sequel. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Yeah, fair enough. | ||
| Harper Lee didn't want to be published. | ||
| Fair enough, yeah. | ||
| That was a smart choice on her part. | ||
| What's your bright spot? | ||
| My bright spot is... | ||
| My bright spot... | ||
| My bright spot. | ||
| Hey, bright spots are back in style this season. | ||
| No, I found out something. | ||
| You know, in many ways, I'm still the small town boy. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| You know, shocked by the lights of the big city. | ||
| I found out you can renew your registration, your car registration, just like a fucking currency exchange. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| I didn't know that. | ||
| I had no idea! | ||
| I have been going to the DMV every year for, I mean, until they did the mailing things or whatever, but I've been going to the DMV way more than I needed to. | ||
| That's interesting. | ||
| I guess that, um... | ||
| Currency exchanges probably have to diversify a little bit. | ||
| But it seems weird that they're allowed to do that. | ||
| No, I know! | ||
| When my partner told me that, I was literally like, I don't want to participate in your underground registration ring that has run through fucking Western Union or whatever it is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But yeah, it turns out that that's totally fine. | ||
| You can get those stickers, you slap them on your plate, you're good to go. | ||
| It took four minutes! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Yeah, it drove me insane! | ||
| Four minutes is also pretty good timing for a currency exchange. | ||
| I've a couple times had to pick up a Western Union at one of them, and it was not that quick. | ||
| Wow, I'll tell you, that four minutes... | ||
| Was enough time for a bunch of people to fill in the line behind me who were not going to take four minutes. | ||
| I will tell you that right now. | ||
| Good timing, my friend. | ||
| Yeah, it worked out. | ||
| Congratulations and big ups on the new plates. | ||
| I'm learning new things, growing as a person to this day. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So, Jordan, today we have an episode to go over. | ||
| We're flipping this one around quick because big news happened here on September 8th, 2022. | ||
| We lost the queen. | ||
| The Queen is out of play, it turns out. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That's kind of fun. | ||
| Here's an out-of-context drop of Alex talking about it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And the Queen of England has made the jump into hyperspace, and it's now bye-bye time. | ||
| It is now bye-bye time. | ||
| I don't think anyone could put it as poetically or succinctly as it's bye-bye time. | ||
| You know, before, when she became a dictator, it was big boy pants time. | ||
| It was not big boy pants time. | ||
| No, it's bye-bye time. | ||
| Yeah, I would like to take everyone back to 2019, where here's Alex's take on the Queen at that point. | ||
| And you're like, but wait a minute, the British royal family's super corrupt, there's a bunch of pedophiles in it. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| That's well known. | ||
| And they're not even British themselves, but they know who's winning. | ||
| They sat on the sidelines to the last minute, and now the Queen just flipped her dictator switch because the Brits did vote to get out of the Euro. | ||
| The Euro's been sabotaging things, trying to sabotage that economy, and so she just dropped the trillion-pound bomb on them, and man, this is history. | ||
| That's all I got to say, so I'm going to do my best when we come back to lay this out, and this is going to be spectacular. | ||
| These alignments are real. | ||
| The world is now in a bipolar structure. | ||
| I don't mean that psychologically. | ||
| That's what it's called. | ||
| Two fronts. | ||
| And Russia, as usual, is going to be the wild card right in the middle, and Russia, I believe, will side with the West in the final equation. | ||
| So yeah, this was a, the Queen had voted not to suspend Parliament, and this was Alex saying that she had gone Patriot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep, yep. | |
| This lasted a day. | ||
| And it's a great way to memorialize the Queen's legacy, I feel like. | ||
| Also, Russia is going to align with the West. | ||
| That one in retrospect. | ||
| 2019 sounded maybe like Alex was working on something, but fell apart. | ||
| Ooh, a little bit rough. | ||
| A little bit rough at the end there. | ||
| So he had a pretty positive impression of the Queen for a day. | ||
| Hated her before that and after that day. | ||
| But, you know, you gotta try sometimes. | ||
| You gotta throw out possible narratives. | ||
| Hey, maybe this ball will start rolling and we'll get the Queen as a secret Patriot agent. | ||
| No, I understand. | ||
| Like Bill Maher. | ||
| I understand, but it just seems like it's always been a step too far for me. | ||
| Any Patriot, the line should at the base be no Royals. | ||
| Like, no Royals. | ||
| That's the baseline. | ||
| It really seems... | ||
| Contradictory to the very idea. | ||
| Yeah, the very word. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It comes from the no royals. | |
| Yes. | ||
| So we'll get to this. | ||
| She does not pass away until a bit into the show, so we'll get to see a little bit of what Alex was up to beforehand. | ||
| Spoiler alert, it's super racist. | ||
| And then we'll see how he deals with the queen. | ||
| God bless the queen. | ||
| Passing away. | ||
| God save the queen. | ||
| But before we do, Jordan, let's take a little moment to say hello to some new wonks. | ||
| Okay, that's a great idea. | ||
| So first, I love my nugget more than anything in the universe. | ||
| But I guess my stinky hog boy too. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| I'm choosing to believe that's about pets. | ||
| Yeah, that is. | ||
| Next, Rob Do. | ||
| More like Rob don't. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| Thank you! | ||
| If Celine was a D&D god, what would her domains be? | ||
| Just asking. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| Not entirely sure. | ||
| When I did the D&D thing, I read a lot about it, and then I was like, I cannot understand all of this. | ||
| So then I made up all the rules, if you'll recall. | ||
| I was really hoping that you would have a definition for that so I could answer it. | ||
| Domain? | ||
| I'm going to go with the place whereabouts they hang. | ||
| And if Celine, her domain would be, I think, wisdom. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Let's say that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So next, I made a dreamy-creamy in my pants this summer. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| Some of these are gross. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Next, Mr. Kiley appreciates the incredibly supportive and welcoming community in the Knowledge Fight Facebook page. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| That one was not gross. | ||
| No. | ||
| That was wholesome and great. | ||
| Cleanse the palate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| So we're going to start here where Alex starts, and he's pretty excited about something he did just before he got on air. | ||
| Thanks for joining us on this live teleprompatial radio pro-human transmission. | ||
| It's Thursday, September 8, 2022. | ||
| And literally 10 minutes ago, before the show started, I ended an hour-long interview with now the most man-man in the world, one of the most censored people on the planet. | ||
| Andrew Tate. | ||
| And it was an amazing interview. | ||
| He's hosted the show. | ||
| He's been a guest many times. | ||
| He's come to Austin and visited. | ||
| I've gone out to dinner with him and his brother. | ||
| He's a really smart guy, and they're misrepresenting who he is because they're scared of male leadership and his message of not being depressed and having a destiny. | ||
| So, I'm going to air some excerpts tomorrow of the interview on the Friday show. | ||
| And then Monday... | ||
| I'm going to Dallas to be on Steven Crowder's show. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| The first hour Monday will be the Andrew Tate interview in full. | ||
| It'll go into the second hour as well, because we have 15 minutes or 14 minutes ads an hour, so we're going to try to air a... | ||
| Close to hour long interview. | ||
| It'll take more than an hour. | ||
| Very exciting. | ||
| Gotta promote in advance this Andrew Tate interview. | ||
| Who's Andrew Tate? | ||
| He's a, like, I guess he was a former fighter, mixed martial arts kind of guy. | ||
| He came out like a number of years ago and was like, depression's not real. | ||
| Get over it, losers. | ||
| Boy, yeah, that narrows it down. | ||
| Made a big splash. | ||
| And then has become something of a chauvinist icon. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Some aggressive misogyny kind of social media influencer type. | ||
| He was on TikTok. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Just seems like a dumb fuck. | ||
| Just one of those people who's in the places where I'm never not, but also there's like trillions of people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're never not? | |
| You're always on TikTok. | ||
| No, I'm never there. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| But there's actually like billions upon millions of people who pay attention to it. | ||
| And they're mostly 13. Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Raising them up, soldiers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good call. | |
| So when Alex does things like make a big deal out of interviewing Andrew Tate, it really just highlights how legitimate Alex is about his principles and how his business model isn't mostly desperately trying to attach himself to anyone he can get at. | ||
| Tate is a real piece of shit, and all you really need to know about him is that he fled the UK to go to Romania amidst allegations of him abusing women. | ||
| There, he began to operate a webcam site where he'd have women lie to men to scam them out of money, which led to his home being raided by Romanian police, quote, following a tip-off from the U.S. Embassy that a 21-year-old American woman was being held against her will. | ||
| Wait, he did that in the past? | ||
| Yeah, fairly recently. | ||
| And now he's still... | ||
| Yep. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| This has now become an ongoing human trafficking investigation, which is totally one of the issues that Alex cares about very much and is super serious about. | ||
| Anyway, Tate is hot right now because he got kicked off all the social media sites and he was on Tucker's show to complain about it fairly recently as well. | ||
| He was human trafficking! | ||
| I don't understand! | ||
| Allegedly human trafficking. | ||
| I don't... | ||
| I don't understand how this is a conversation. | ||
| Yeah, I don't either. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| On the one hand, he might have been kicked off these social media sites because he's a violent misogynist whose content breached various platforms' terms of service, but he might have also been kicked off for coordinated abuse of the platform itself. | ||
| He runs a thing called Hustlers University, which is basically a pyramid scheme where he teaches young men how to scam people about things like cryptocurrencies. | ||
| There are a bunch of allegations that through his following he engaged in coordinated efforts to manipulate algorithms to boost his content with tons of fake accounts and things like that. | ||
| So he's like a stupid Moriarty? | ||
| That's what's happening? | ||
| He's like some sort of center of the dumbest screw-around ring that there's been? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Jesus fucking Christ. | ||
| Point is, whether it's because of hateful ideology or because of abusing the platform, anyone would have plenty of reason to kick Andrew Tate off their sight. | ||
| And at the moment, he's getting tons of attention, and his audience might be ripe for the picking now that it's harder to get Tate's content online. | ||
| So if I were Alex, I would see a prime opportunity to try and scoop up some of these disaffected youth that Andrew Tate has radicalized. | ||
| The vultures are circling, trying to pick apart the... | ||
| Carcass of that audience. | ||
| Yeah, those are the people who are going to be willing to give this fella a platform. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| Tucker and Alex coming in. | ||
| No, it is like a job fair. | ||
| It's just a bunch of people coming in like, hey, do you want to make a lateral move to Infowars or Tucker or whatever you want? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, it's like, okay, we've disrupted, essentially, the business model that Andrew Tate was operating. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| You know, he doesn't have the social media algorithms to... | ||
| game and scam people with. | ||
| And so essentially that hustle is over, but he does have a currency and that is the number of people who he has turned into rabid followers. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And essentially what you're doing is trying to sell those followers to somebody. | |
| Yeah! | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| It's fun how often the audience is the product, and they are happy about it. | ||
| Creepy. | ||
| Make no mistake about it, too, though. | ||
| This isn't a new thing. | ||
| Alex has been a fan of Ander Tate for a while, and I think it's because of his troubling views. | ||
| Yeah, that would make sense. | ||
| So, Alex gets into some headlines of some stuff, and it's, like I said, fairly racist. | ||
| And by the way, I love black people. | ||
| I love white people. | ||
| Stop there. | ||
| I love brown people. | ||
| I love people. | ||
| There's such wonderful black people. | ||
| Put a period on that sentence. | ||
| Klaus Schwab's a really evil, horrible white person. | ||
| Prince Charles is a really evil, horrible black person. | ||
| White person. | ||
| What? | ||
| But you've got racial attacks going on around the U.S. that used to be 10 to 1 black on white. | ||
| Now it's 20 to 1 or higher. | ||
| And every day... | ||
| A white man, a white woman, a white child is kidnapped, raped, tortured, and murdered by crazy, racist black people. | ||
| And I got a bunch of cases of it today we'll be getting to a little bit later. | ||
| And I hate covering this stuff, but the media isolates it and suppresses it. | ||
| And when a crazy white person, and they're out there, a bad white person... | ||
| Goes out there and does something evil, man, it is the top story everywhere, and every white person is guilty. | ||
| Every white person is to blame collectively. | ||
| Like if there was a mass shooting, every gun owner is to blame. | ||
| When that's horse crap, or when a Muslim runs over somebody, you know, 20 people with a car, or 100 people in the case of Nice, France, you don't blame the bus, you don't blame the truck, you blame who did it, but they try to suppress when the Islamics do that. | ||
| So, it's open season on white people by the ruling globalist white. | ||
| New World Order. | ||
| Wait. | ||
| Because they want us all killing each other. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| But I have case after case, like this crazy new shooting in Atlanta. | ||
| I don't even want to air the video of the guy running around just randomly shooting women and you name it. | ||
| And then smiling when he gets arrested and is so proud of all the people he just shot. | ||
| He'd been let out by George Soros, DA. | ||
| After a bunch of crimes he committed. | ||
| Then you have this individual in Tennessee that kidnapped the poor white lady teacher. | ||
| I don't care if she's black or white. | ||
| She's a human being. | ||
| Took her, raped her, and tortured her to death. | ||
| And because it's black on white, they're suppressing the story. | ||
| Can you imagine if a white dude kidnapped a black woman and went and raped a murderer? | ||
| It'd be on every channel everywhere and all whites would be to blame. | ||
| So that is this division they're pushing. | ||
| So first things first, Alex is just making up numbers when he says that the incidence of black-on-white racially motivated crimes has gone from 10 to 1 to 20 to 1. That's just him pushing the white identity fear that essentially powers his show's ideology. | ||
| We've gone over this a hundred times, so I'm not going to get too deep into it again, but what Alex is doing here is just pushing a very standard white supremacist talking point that many view as one of the most effective gateways towards radicalizing people into deeper racism. | ||
| Famously, it was lies about racial crime statistics put out by the Council of Conservative Citizens that Dylann Roof cited as being the thing that began his path toward carrying out his racist mass murder. | ||
| There was a black man who was charged with the murder of a white teacher in Memphis, that's true, but it's not clear that it was a racially motivated crime. | ||
| There was a black man who carried out a shooting spree recently, but that is also something that Alex can't prove had a racial motivation. | ||
| He doesn't care about the actual crime. | ||
| He just sees any crime where the perpetrator is black and the victim is white as happening because the victim is white. | ||
| This is shockingly consistent in Alex's ideology over the years, and it's because he's a deeply racist person. | ||
| Also, to his point of whether or not, you know, if there were white men who have kidnapped black women and how if that did happen, it would be the biggest deal ever. | ||
| I would ask him or most of the people in his audience if they know who Joshua Edwards is. | ||
| And the answer is likely no. | ||
| He was a member of the Aryan Brotherhood who kidnapped and raped a black woman in 2019, ultimately being sentenced in 2020. | ||
| I've never heard Alex bring that up. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Been plastered all over headlines. | ||
| It doesn't appear that he's particularly interested in black women being among, if not the highest percentage of victimized groups in the fucking country. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or what about Robert David Fyke? | ||
| He was sentenced to 30 years in prison in late 2021 for kidnapping a 14-year-old black girl who he'd met online, taking her across state lines and sexually abusing her. | ||
| Or Wayne Marcel, who paid someone $2,000 to take that same child from Fike's home in Texas to Illinois, where he picked her up and took her to Connecticut explicitly for the purposes of sexually abusing her. | ||
| Here's the thing, though. | ||
| These are horrific crimes where the perpetrator was white and the victim was black, but even in the case where the guy was in the Aryan Brotherhood, you would have to work to prove that the crime he committed was motivated by race. | ||
| It's possible, and you might make that assumption, but it isn't guaranteed, even though he clearly is a racist. | ||
| And these are cases that Alex has never heard of, and fly directly in the face of the reality that he wants to portray for his audience. | ||
| If anything he said meant anything, these names... | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I mean, those are, those are like... | ||
| Legit Reconstruction-era South propagandists would be like, man, you're going a little bit too hard on this. | ||
| That is fucking insane. | ||
| And Alex has every reason to understand the dynamic here and how these talking points have been used historically. | ||
| That's just too... | ||
| We've been desensitized to it so much. | ||
| But that is literally a... | ||
| You bring that straight from the Civil War into today. | ||
| That is what that is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Alex is, I mean, this is just, this is his shit. | ||
| And the truth is, the real persecution in this country is the unborn, and it's the exploitation of migrants, and it is the murder and torture and killing of white people. | ||
| Because the media is out there, and all these movies and all these TV shows... | ||
| Saying that white people are inherently bad, white people are inherently evil, and they deserve to die. | ||
| So some sweet little school teacher gets grabbed at gunpoint in Memphis. | ||
| Yeah, we'll play her singing to her kindergarten students in a minute. | ||
| And she gets raped and murdered, and that's okay. | ||
| And the media suppresses the story. | ||
| It's disgusting. | ||
| And when they question these guys, they say, well, she's a white person. | ||
| She deserves it. | ||
| And I could play you the new Black Panther Party all day long in Houston and in Chicago and in Oakland. | ||
| I got all the clips. | ||
| Hell, I had these guys on before saying, don't mug other black people. | ||
| Go out and mug and rob white people. | ||
| Hey, how about you don't mug or rob anybody? | ||
| So, no one's suppressing any story. | ||
| There's heavy coverage of the case of this teacher from Memphis, Eliza Fletcher, on all major media outlets. | ||
| When Alex says that the story is being suppressed, what he means is that he's mad that the media isn't covering it as a crime committed by a black man against a white woman because she was white. | ||
| This is also a classic white supremacist talking point that racist crimes against white people are intentionally being suppressed. | ||
| Alex deploys these talking points because they're effective and because he's a racist. | ||
| Also, that clip he's talking about from the new Black Panther Party, I believe, if I recall correctly, is a clip of Khalid Muhammad, who died in 2001. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| He was really close. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All over the place. | ||
| I mean, you were saying that we're desensitized, and there is a little bit of that that's true, but even as I was listening to this, it's like, well, he's swinging. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is pretty notably overt for him today. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, and it is such, like, That is the attack because it's the only avenue for that. | ||
| You know, so many of these people have to look around and be like, why am I hearing about all these racist white people and not enough about people who are racist towards white people? | ||
| And there's an obvious answer, but you can't do that. | ||
| So instead they're like, ah, because they're suppressing it. | ||
| See, that makes way more sense than both statistics and a massive history of this country working together. | ||
| Right, and you want to convey the feeling that you're under attack. | ||
| By the other, or whatever. | ||
| That's what Alex wants to convey to the audience. | ||
| That feeling is what he wants to exploit and use and grow. | ||
| Yeah, of course. | ||
| And if you want to look into these feelings that you have, and maybe you don't find the information that Alex would be presenting, you should be able to find all this stuff. | ||
| Well, the reason is because it's being suppressed. | ||
| It's a workaround. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| It's very effective. | ||
| Yeah, and it works for every group. | ||
| Anyway, Alex is on this. | ||
| But Rob, one of the producers who just so happens to be black, came in here and reminded me of a great report he did in June titled The Brainwashing of White Supremacy. | ||
| And again, folks, they're setting us all up. | ||
| We're all being targeted for lawlessness and collapse. | ||
| And by these major cities, literally these DAs that Soros puts in, letting black people specifically commit crimes. | ||
| Specifically. | ||
| I mean, I'm talking murder, you name it. | ||
| I showed you the Illinois law where you can be released for second-degree murder after one day in jail. | ||
| I know that doesn't sound real. | ||
| It's real. | ||
| I mean, the Safety Act. | ||
| So none of this seems real because it's tyranny. | ||
| I'm sure I don't need to explain that the Safety Act doesn't make it so black people commit crimes in Illinois, as Alex seems to be implying. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I do want to point out, however, that the idea that there are evil Jewish puppet masters who are getting minorities to attack white people is a hallmark of white supremacist propaganda. | ||
| I don't want to put too fine a point on this here, but this episode is extreme, even by Alex's standards. | ||
| The beginning is really... | ||
| Chock full of white supremacist tropes. | ||
| Yeah, this is KKK shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Straight up. | ||
| If this was a K... | ||
| If this was a K... | ||
| If this was a Klan meeting, this is what you would hear. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you would hear also the N-word on top of that. | ||
| So Norm would be there. | ||
| Yeah, with his pants down. | ||
| Yeah, like all good KKK rallies. | ||
| So we shift tone a little bit here. | ||
| Alex has got some news he wants to cover. | ||
| But I wanted to hit some of the other news that's breaking and things that are going on, but the great Harrison Smith and some of his crew, some of his compadres, put together this new little piece called If I Worked at CNN, a little homage, a little farewell, A little boi viage to Brian Humpty Dumpty Stelter. | ||
| I'm not mad at the crew. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, it's not always easy being on the outside, being dissident, being scrutinized and judged, not having anybody tell you what to say or when to say it. | |
| Sometimes I wonder, what if I'd chosen an easier path, a more mainstream path? | ||
| If I weren't at CNN. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd be a self-made man like Cooper. | |
| The son of a Vanderbilt. | ||
| I'd feed your bullshit wrapped up in virtue. | ||
| With a steady dose of white guilt. | ||
| Good stuff. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Harrison could never get hired at any media outlet that's legitimate because he sucks and he does bad work. | ||
| InfoWars is literally the only place that has standards low enough to hire him, and he's only on air because David Knight and Steve Pchenik got into a fight and Alex fired David. | ||
| He has, like, laughable... | ||
| Fifth string behind David Knight. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You are only on air because, like, metaphorically, the... | ||
| Six quarterbacks got injured. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Just imagining like, oh yeah, Harrison Smith, if he worked at CNN, would be hosting the prime time. | ||
| It is. | ||
| Get the fuck out of here. | ||
| It is a bit like one of the car dealership commercial people being like. | ||
| It's Wolf Blitzer or Harrison. | ||
| It's one of the car, it's one of like the Bob Rohrman being like, man, that fucking Jon Hamm narration over those Mercedes commercials or whatever. | ||
| He's fucking sick. | ||
| They need the Rorman. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Rorman does good work. | ||
| Rorman does good work. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| It's because he chose to be a dissident, but he's not. | ||
| And that easy path. | ||
| What does he think of his work? | ||
| I bet he thinks he's great at commercials. | ||
| This is all fun and games and it's cute, but this high school AV Project S level music video they're playing, it's nonsense. | ||
| It's so much easier to be in the mainstream media. | ||
| It's a message that's fun for them, but it's hollow. | ||
| It's meaningless. | ||
| I made that video on VHS when I was 12. Yep. | ||
| It's a little bit maudlin. | ||
| It's a little bit... | ||
| Childish. | ||
| Also, the sculpture thing is weeks old by now, so it's a little bit dated. | ||
| Makes you guys really look like petty losers. | ||
| It is a little bit like, listen, you've got maybe two days to turn that around and get it out and have it be relevant and funny. | ||
| Now it is just sad. | ||
| It's just sad. | ||
| You might also notice that the first stanza of that song includes a reference to CNN pushing white guilt. | ||
| This is because it was produced by Harrison Smith's team, and he's much more clearly aligned with the young white identity folks like the Fuentes community, so this is to be expected, and is continuing the theme here of pretty racist content. | ||
| Yeah, we're going ham! | ||
| Pushing racial buttons quite a bit on this show. | ||
| So Alex has some actual news. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a good thing the Queen died, otherwise we'd hear nothing but racist. | |
| Yeah, I mean it's... | ||
| It's harsh. | ||
| It's harsh. | ||
| So that was a misdirect on my part. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Because he was going to get to the news, but he couldn't because he had to play Harrison Ford. | ||
| Harrison Ford. | ||
| Harrison Smith's dumb art project. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But now he gets to some actual news. | ||
| But I wanted to hit this briefly. | ||
| I don't dislike this individual who's the new monkeypox czar, like one death in the U.S., end of the world, 99% of a gay man. | ||
| I don't hate this man because he likes other men. | ||
| I hate him because he's all part of this new ruling class where you have to either be a woman or be a homosexual, pull in positions of power, and then... | ||
| The president is a white dude. | ||
| And a bunch of other really gross stuff I'm not going to say on air. | ||
| But I started investigating it last night when the story broke yesterday. | ||
| I quit investigating very quickly because I didn't want to go down that rabbit hole. | ||
| Yeah, he stopped investigating because there wasn't anything there. | ||
| No. | ||
| He is just a gay man who is the deputy monkeypox coordinator. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And there's a picture of him wearing a button-up shirt, and then underneath there's a harness. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's a harness that looks like a pentagram. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And so now he is deeply involved in Satanism. | ||
| Man! | ||
| Of all the things that you might think when you're on your way to med school, at the end, you're never going to be like, well, I'm probably going to be the center of a monkeypox conspiracy theory. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I find this to be a little thin. | ||
| And also... | ||
| I don't understand Alex's conception that you have to be a woman or a homosexual to be in a position of power. | ||
| I feel like that's a talking point. | ||
| He just deploys to attack the... | ||
| The people who happen to be women or homosexuals who are in positions of power because he doesn't like that. | ||
| That seems crazy. | ||
| He doesn't like that happening at all. | ||
| So it's not like a genuine observation you're saying? | ||
| I think it's not. | ||
| Okay, that's crazy. | ||
| So you're saying that he's looking at things and then making it up on his own? | ||
| I know that's not in his character. | ||
| It's foreign to us, but yes. | ||
| So here, Alex gets really gross about this dude. | ||
| Sure, great. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| This sucks and is very disgusting. | ||
| Because I didn't want to go down that rabbit hole. | ||
| But into Satanism, into some really destructive stuff, really hurtful things to his own body, and he's par for the course. | ||
| Sorry, what? | ||
| Dr. Dimitri Dazakalas? | ||
| The director of Joe Biden's National Monkey Pox Response Team held his first press conference Wednesday, but attention online focused on degenerate photos of him in the past. | ||
| And again, for a family audience, we're not going to show you this stuff, but he's into things like eating poop. | ||
| And here he is, why are we surprised, with a big pentagram and hailing Satan. | ||
| So what a god to follow. | ||
| Eat that poop. | ||
| So delicious. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| There is a real new thing. | ||
| This is not something that I remember Alex doing in past times. | ||
| Equating being gay with eating poop. | ||
| I think we're in full regression. | ||
| He is turning... | ||
| We were joking about him being only capable of children's level thought for years. | ||
| I think he's now actually descending back into a larval state. | ||
| Well, I know that... | ||
| Like, particularly virulent anti-gay propaganda and hate speech in the past has involved, like, they eat poop. | ||
| Yeah, any way to dehumanize. | ||
| When you're talking about a regression in terms of his mental state, it also is a regression to, like, more explicit bigotry. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And, like, these talking points that are much more at home in places... | ||
| No, you go back to 1998 and shit like that, and you think about what was okay to just toss about. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Hey, it's back! | ||
| Everything old is new again. | ||
| So at some point, Alex gets word that shit's not good with the Queen. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And he doesn't really care. | ||
| Yeah, I'm fine with that. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Man, I am just sick of the world worship. | ||
| She's dead. | ||
| Our country was founded in defiance of these people. | ||
| And in fairness to her, she's from a German-Transylvanian bloodline. | ||
| She's like 10% old British bloodline. | ||
| It's just disgusting to sit there and watch these people and people worshipping people because of their bloodline. | ||
| That is not what freedom is all about. | ||
| It's not what America is all about. | ||
| Now, I should tell you that Donald Trump Jr. is a great leader. | ||
| I mean, oh no, it's so ridiculous. | ||
| Anyways, let's think about how many presidents and their sons have been president. | ||
| Well, two. | ||
| John Quincy Adams. | ||
| It's not even a son, right? | ||
| No, that's true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then just George Bush and George W. Wasn't there another one? | |
| I don't think so. | ||
| I think the Adamses were there. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| They're all related by the German Transylvanian bloodline. | ||
| You know that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Taft was actually, his son was Clinton. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Sure, why not? | ||
| Well, that would be a big stretch. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Time-wise. | ||
| Well, I mean, let me just throw it more towards an established aristocracy. | ||
| We can agree there's an established aristocracy in terms of, like, Kennedys and Clintons and multiple, that kind of thing. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| There are sort of legacies or whatever. | ||
| But in terms of dynasty type shit, who are actually presidents. | ||
| Yeah, you're right. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| So we got Benjamin Harrison was the grandson of William Henry Harrison. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| James Madison and Zachary Taylor were second cousins. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Well, that's close enough for horseshoes and hand grenades, as they say. | ||
| FDR was the fifth cousin of Teddy Roosevelt. | ||
| Just the fifth cousin? | ||
| I don't know if any of this is fully accurate. | ||
| I just Googled it. | ||
| This is on Fact Monster. | ||
| The Fact Monster wouldn't lead me wrong. | ||
| Anything over two cousins doesn't count for me. | ||
| It just doesn't count. | ||
| You and Dr. Oz are that same that way. | ||
| You're not actually... | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Anything over. | ||
| So Alex has a guest on in the second hour, and it is the guy who runs Gab, Andrew Torba. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And he's got a book out that he's promoting. | ||
| It's a bullshit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Our book actually comes out tomorrow, so we've been doing this through pre-orders. | |
| And like you said, it just shows how popular these ideas are and it shows how big our movement is. | ||
| I think one of the things that the enemy wants us to believe is that we're isolated or that we're alone or that the people that share our values and our worldview are very small in number, but that's actually the opposite is true. | ||
| We make up 80% to 90% of this country, and the elites in D.C. and in Silicon Valley and in New York City, We make up the small percentage of people that are running this country right now, and their worldview and their values are diametrically opposed to us. | ||
| And what we saw happening before we wrote this book was they were trying to subvert this term, Christian nationalism. | ||
| What does Christian nationalism mean? | ||
| Well, it means you're a Christian, and it means that you're a nationalist. | ||
| What is a nationalist? | ||
| It's someone who loves their neighbor. | ||
| It's someone who loves their country. | ||
| So, you know, being a Christian nationalist is not a bad thing. | ||
| During our research of this book, what we found is that prior to the founding of this country in 1776, there were explicitly Christian countries for the first 200 years with the early colonies. | ||
| Those weren't countries. | ||
| Those were colonies. | ||
| And that was before our country. | ||
| The Constitution that we... | ||
| What's the point of the Constitution if you could just say that Christian nationalism is fine because it's not quite what people say it is? | ||
| This is this dumb thing where words don't actually mean the things they mean. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| We heard Dave Dobbenmeier, Coach Dave, was talking about being a white nationalist because he's white and a nationalist. | ||
| As opposed to understanding this as a compound noun. | ||
| Being a nationalist who is Christian is not the same thing as being a Christian nationalist. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Andrew Torba is very explicitly and I don't think unknowingly trying to blur I mean, yeah. | |
| And the thing that is so stupid, that is so, so, so stupid to me, is that everybody keeps saying Christian. | ||
| Everybody keeps saying Christian. | ||
| Everybody keeps saying Christian. | ||
| But if you did get a Christian nation with... | ||
| Christian ideals or whatever. | ||
| You don't know what fuckers are in power. | ||
| You don't think, you know, people think, oh, it's Christian nationalism. | ||
| You don't know if it's a Catholic Christian nationalism. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| You don't know if it's a Presbyterian Christian nationalism. | ||
| I think Andrew does. | ||
| I think he does, too. | ||
| Based on his definition, I think he knows. | ||
| But all of these people think that it's their own idea of Christianity. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| They share it with anyone else. | ||
| You're all insane to me. | ||
| Well, yeah, and I think that their particular brand of Christianity is not super mainstream. | ||
| No. | ||
| Some elements are, perhaps, but some are a little bit more fringy. | ||
| All we learned is that crucifying people eventually leads to good things. | ||
| That is the wrong lesson. | ||
| I think it would be interesting if you did have a Christian nationalism that was based around, like, I don't know... | ||
| Giving to the poor. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, most of these people wouldn't want... | ||
| That would be an interesting version of it. | ||
| That's not what they would want. | ||
| No, they wouldn't want a Unitarian Christian nation. | ||
| It's so silly to me how many absurd divisions there are in that concept of the block Christianity. | ||
| And yet when it comes to electoral politics, people are willing to go along with Christian as though it's a fucking word. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| It is a big subset, or a big set with a bunch of subsets. | ||
| So, anyway, they want to create a Christian nation. | ||
| That's basically it. | ||
| And that is Christian nationalism to them. | ||
| And they're trying to... | ||
| The two things that they're trying to blend together are being Christian and being nationalist, which I think most people would view as, like, alright, good for you. | ||
| And being a Christian nationalist, which I don't think most people would be okay with, because that... | ||
| Being in charge of literally everything about how the country runs. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A country run by Christians, by Christian rule. | |
| Under Sharia law. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's about returning to that. | |
| It's about understanding the historical bedrock of our nation. | ||
| It is grounded in Christianity. | ||
| And it's about waking Christians up, because I think a lot of Christians are just sleepwalking through history right now, and they refuse to get engaged in public discourse. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| They don't realize that the churches today are 501c3 and bought off. | ||
| Christianity was a religious, spiritual movement that politically took over. | ||
| And yeah, we let people practice their own religion. | ||
| We don't make them convert. | ||
| We're not Islam. | ||
| But we're Christian. | ||
| And that's what this country is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right, and we need to be Christians all the time. | |
| So that's such a telling clip, and it pretty well encapsulates Alex's ideology. | ||
| He doesn't believe in America everyone is able to practice their religion or lack of religious belief freely. | ||
| He believes that Christians are right and should be in charge, and because they're so nice, they allow everyone else to practice their religions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's what he believes. | ||
| It's so nice of the correct religion to have the benevolence necessary to allow people to worship false gods and Satan, I guess. | ||
| This is nonsense, and it's not religious freedom or tolerance. | ||
| Having a belief system like this strongly implies that at some point, if they wanted to, the Christians could stop allowing people to practice certain religions, and they would be well within their right to do so. | ||
| Obviously, if that happened, it would be because a particular religion had just gone too far. | ||
| for weakness, or at least that's how it would be easy to sell it under this framework. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| You remember how inalienable rights are things that can be taken away from you. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I personally find it hard to believe that Alex actually believes any of this live and let live nonsense he's saying. | ||
| He's very consistent in expressing his belief that all Islam is radical and incompatible with the West. | ||
| He constantly yells about Satanists being pedophiles who drink children's blood. | ||
| He believes that atheists are secretly trying to dehumanize people from their connection with God so they'll be tricked into transhumanism. | ||
| He may believe that people in the U.S. only have religious freedom because Christianity Yep. | ||
| It's all a load of bullshit, and it's not a great sign that the first hour of the show has been essentially a white supremacist talking point fest, and now the dude who runs a Twitter clone that's swamped with bigots is on to launder the term Christian nationalism. | ||
| This is outrageous. | ||
| And again, I mean, I know I just made this point, but I can't stress it enough. | ||
| If this type of Christianity is allowed to make a, quote, Christian nation, you will not be allowed to practice your type of Christianity. | ||
| If it does not share, you're just an apostate. | ||
| You're a fucking, you're an infidel. | ||
| It's a short walk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is insane, yes! | |
| It's a very short walk to that. | ||
| If you're a Christian, the number one thing you should hope for is that there is no national religion. | ||
| Because you're fucked. | ||
| So we get to the point where Alex finds out that the Queen has died. | ||
| And Torba's in the mix. | ||
| Torba's in play, the Queen is out of play. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| And Alex has got a riff. | ||
| And her husband, Prince Philip, said he wanted to come back as a particularly deadly virus and be reincarnated to contribute to depopulation. | ||
| And I just hope... | ||
| That he didn't get his wish. | ||
| I hope, because I love the Queen so much. | ||
| Do you think he could? | ||
| I hope Prince Philip didn't kill the Queen. | ||
| Is it possible? | ||
| That's really what I'm hoping right now. | ||
| But would that be a turn of fate, that he was reincarnated as a particularly deadly virus? | ||
| Guys, pull the quote up. | ||
| Prince Philip on reincarnated as a deadly virus. | ||
| He told the Audubon Society that. | ||
| He told Deutsche Agentur that. | ||
| And he told Reuters that. | ||
| There's three interviews. | ||
| Where he said he wanted to come back as a virus to lower population. | ||
| I hope. | ||
| Because he said he wanted to come back and kill people. | ||
| That's his wish, not mine. | ||
| I hope that Prince Philip didn't get his wish. | ||
| You have nothing. | ||
| What? | ||
| This is so stupid. | ||
| That is insane. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Also, there wasn't three interviews. | ||
| It was one children's book type thing where, like, if I were an animal that asked a bunch of celebrities this, and then it was published in a bunch, like, it was cited in some articles that Alex is claiming are a bunch of interviews. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| And it wasn't about killing off humanity. | ||
| It was a much more thoughtful answer than that. | ||
| But Alex doesn't give a shit. | ||
| No. | ||
| Anyway, apparently, maybe Prince Philip... | ||
| Came back as a virus just to selectively take out his wife. | ||
| It is so weird that we can go from like, I think we're a Christian nation because Christianity is right, to Alex genuinely being concerned about reincarnation. | ||
| Listen, man, I hope this isn't how it works. | ||
| The whole selling point of your religion is that you know what happens when you die. | ||
| I think you're right if we're to take this to mean anything. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I think in reality Alex is spinning his wheels because he doesn't know what the fuck to do. | ||
| Oh, I wish that's not the case. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I hope. | |
| So Torba's got a take. | ||
| Back to Andrew Torba. | ||
| Andrew, do you have anything to say about the Queen? | ||
| Queen Elizabeth II making the jump into hyperspace? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I hope she knew Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. | |
| That's what I'll say. | ||
| It's unfortunate. | ||
| There's so much going on now. | ||
| But she lived a pretty long life. | ||
| And again, I just hope that she knew Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. | ||
| That's the most important decision that you can make in your life. | ||
| And it's a decision that I hope a lot of people are taking seriously now. | ||
| There's so much fear in our world. | ||
| There's so much uncertainty. | ||
| I've heard Andrew Torba on Alex's show before, and this wasn't the... | ||
| This feels like, okay, you've fully committed to this as your hustle now. | ||
| I mean, not to say that he wasn't a Christian before or anything, but it seems like this has become a bit front and center. | ||
| This is creepy. | ||
| It's creepy to the point where it's like that team that goes away to Bible camp for a week and then comes back and is like, oh, I've got the power of the Holy Spirit. | ||
| Yeah, I do think the perspective, though, of like... | ||
| You know, the queen is dead, I hope she found God, or whatever. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| As benign as a response to the queen dying can be. | ||
| I mean, that's condescending bullshit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A little. | |
| That's condescending bullshit. | ||
| Sure, but we all get used to our grandparents saying they're praying for us. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| I hope she gave her life over to Satan and is rocking it in hell right now next to him. | ||
| Damn. | ||
| That'd be dope. | ||
| She's rocking out with Bowie. | ||
| No, Bowie is the king of Mars, goddammit. | ||
| Well, that's the clone. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, Alex, for someone who is above it all, has some interesting preoccupation with palace entry. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Weird how that works. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, we have to push through. | |
| We have to keep the faith, and we have to have our faith stronger now than ever before. | ||
| No, I totally agree with you. | ||
| Of course, the big question is, will it be Prince Edward that becomes the new king? | ||
| Or will he not be bypassed, or will it go to Prince Charles? | ||
| Because, I mean, Prince Charles is Mr. Reset, New World Order, world government. | ||
| I'm predicting right now they're not going to bypass Prince Charles. | ||
| I'm making a prediction right now. | ||
| I may be wrong, but I think Prince Charles is going to be seated as the King of England. | ||
| He'll say something like, for two years while his son gets ready. | ||
| I predict Prince Charles will be seated as the King of England and will fly the dragon flag. | ||
| Against humanity. | ||
| No shit Prince Charles is gonna become king. | ||
| Yeah, what are you talking about? | ||
| It's very clear the order of ascendance. | ||
| I mean, and listen, if they're just gonna start changing shit about the royal family now, where you start is get rid of them entirely. | ||
| Well, Charles would have to abdicate. | ||
| Like, that is possible, but he would ascend to the throne immediately. | ||
| I mean, it's just there's rules. | ||
| They're not going to change the rules. | ||
| That's why they still have the royal family. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because of the rules. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They like them. | |
| One of the things that... | ||
| Is defining. | ||
| Is ceremony. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, almost to a point that is beyond reason. | ||
| Breach of it is the only thing. | ||
| It's the glue that holds together. | ||
| It does seem to be one of the central fictions of British society. | ||
| Without the queen, it all falls apart. | ||
| I love him thinking that he's taken a swing there. | ||
| I think it's going to be Charles. | ||
| I think it's going to be him. | ||
| Good for you, babe. | ||
| Can you prognosticate things like that that have no election? | ||
| Well, I think Charles did... | ||
| I think it's going to be Kamala Harris who winds up being there. | ||
| I think it's going to be... | ||
| Probably Hillary. | ||
| I think it's going to be Hillary after... | ||
| I think Charles did say something not too long ago about not wanting to be king. | ||
| I think there was something along those lines, but that doesn't change the Order of Ascension, again, unless he takes himself out of it. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| But, hey, here we are. | ||
| Yeah, part of the agreement with the royal family is they also don't really have that much control over what they get to do. | ||
| They're held captive by their own royalty. | ||
| In some ways. | ||
| So, Andrew seems to want to talk about stuff, and Alex seems to want to, you know, just muse about the royals. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| By the grace of God, we did it, and we're still standing. | ||
| Well, great job to your doggedness and your great tech crew and the supporters. | ||
| That stood with you. | ||
| That's why we're still here. | ||
| That's why you're still there. | ||
| Bravo to listeners of yours. | ||
| I wonder if Jimmy Savelle's going to be attending the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that'll be interesting to see. | |
| Jimmy Savelle died in 2011. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The Jimmy Saville that I recall? | ||
| Yeah, the TV host. | ||
| Who was also a pedophile. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| For like 40 years and everybody kind of tacitly was like, hey, he's so good at hosting shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know if Alex knows he's dead. | ||
| Yeah, it seems like he does not. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I don't think Andrew Torben knows who he is. | ||
| No, doesn't sound like that either. | ||
| He's just yes-handed. | ||
| Be interesting to see if Savelle shows up. | ||
| Yeah, it will be. | ||
| It would be. | ||
| That would be an interesting thing. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So dumb. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| So Alex goes to break, says farewell to Torba, comes back with Ding Dong the Witch is Dead. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But... | ||
| I gotta say, they did not cue it up right, and so there is a long portion where the munchkins are talking about confirming whether the witch is dead or not. | ||
| They could have cut off at least a minute and a half. | ||
| You just went with the YouTube clip? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| Did not have a good start point. | ||
| So I've eliminated that. | ||
| Wow, that's nice of you. | ||
| I also don't want to get a copyright strike from The Wizard of Oz. | ||
| Yeah, they're listening. | ||
| Ding dong! | ||
| When I was talking about that, I wasn't playing ding-dong, the witch is dead, about Queen Elizabeth II. | ||
| I was talking about Hillary Clinton. | ||
| I forgot to mention this yesterday. | ||
| Hillary has officially said she's not running for president for a third time in 2024. | ||
| We put that on screen. | ||
| Now that means she's going to run, because if she tells you she's not going to run, you know she's going to run. | ||
| Except she's got incredibly bad health problems, the rest of it. | ||
| So maybe it's true. | ||
| What? | ||
| So she said she's not going to run, which means she is, but also maybe she's not because she has health problems, but also his entire narrative during the 2016 election was that she was on death's doorstep. | ||
| Yeah, I mean... | ||
| So I don't know. | ||
| This is meaningless. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Listen, I'll tell you... | ||
| I'm going to predict both things here, buddy. | ||
| I don't think Hillary has much of a choice as to whether or not she was going to run in 2024. | ||
| I think America decided that she was done running. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think... | ||
| I think it's fun, though, for Alex to be like this guy who really just knows his shit. | ||
| He can cut through the bullshit, and he'll tell you that when Hillary says she's not running, that means that she is, but also maybe she's not. | ||
| Well, she could be dead! | ||
| Why are you talking? | ||
| Why is it? | ||
| There's nothing happening here. | ||
| Why are we talking about the 2024 election when you're supposed to be focused on the midterms? | ||
| What happened in the midterms? | ||
| Change whether or not Hillary Clinton decides to run for the... | ||
| You gotta keep plates spinning, man. | ||
| I hate so much. | ||
| I hate it so much. | ||
| Yeah, it's annoying. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Alex has been teasing a special guest in the third hour. | ||
| I was like, Pachanek, Pachanek, Pachanek. | ||
| Come on, baby. | ||
| We gotta have some queen news from the Pachanek. | ||
| He killed her. | ||
| I can't tell you how disappointed I was with the reveal of who the special guest was. | ||
| We have our special guest here with us this hour. | ||
| We're going to take some calls on a whole bunch of topics from Aaron and Justin and Simon and Aaron and James and Greg and Joe and John. | ||
| That's coming up bottom of the hour, so be patient. | ||
| We're going to get to you. | ||
| But I've been on a few shows with you, senior comedy. | ||
| It's really great stuff. | ||
| Chrissy Mayer is here with us. | ||
| Twitter, Chrissy Mayer, M-A-Y-R. | ||
| She's performing tonight at the Cap City Comedy Club, which is a great place. | ||
| Up in North Austin. | ||
| Yeah, apparently it's a comedian who is named Chrissy Mayer. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Apparently she's hosted the War Room for Owen the last day or two. | ||
| Yeah, she seems fun. | ||
| She was at the Infowars studio and she tweeted a picture of herself sitting on Alex's desk with the caption, quote, My stripper name is Sandy Hook. | ||
| See, it's funny because Alex defamed grieving parents whose children were murdered in Sandy Hook and now Mare is willingly associating with Alex and using his platform to promote her stand-up career. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, that is the problem with Zoo Crew Radio not really having the effect on bringing people out to shows as much as it used to. | ||
| You know, you gotta go out to different radio stations. | ||
| People are trying, you know, people are trying Fox Business, seeing if they can get people out to Cap City Comedy Club. | ||
| Now we gotta go on Infowars for Cap City Comedy Club. | ||
| She'll be there all weekend, buddy. | ||
| No, just Thursday. | ||
| She won't even be there all weekend. | ||
| Just gotta say, she seems cool. | ||
| She seems really cool. | ||
| She has a podcast called the Chrissy Mayer Podcast, and in just this year, she's had Alex Stein, that dumb troll, on twice, Owen Benjamin, Savannah Hernandez, and Brandon Strocka, who's a guest. | ||
| So that's cool, man. | ||
| One Infowars employee, one dude who snitched to the feds about his involvement in January 6th, one sexual assault troll, and one guy who's too much of a Nazi to be allowed to host the fourth hour of Alex's show. | ||
| Good stuff. | ||
| Good, good crew. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| There weren't a ton of videos of her actual stand-up coming up in search results, but I did find a video where she pretended to be Greta Thunberg, so that's cool. | ||
| Wow, I bet that killed... | ||
| It was hilarious. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It seems like there's plenty of blog posts, though, about how hard it is for her to be a stand-up comic who supported Trump. | ||
| And was against vaccine mandates and masks for audiences in comedy shows early on in the pandemic. | ||
| God, we have seen so many of those people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-mm-mm. | |
| She also recorded an album, a stand-up album, called Live from January 6th, because, of course, she was there on that day when the Patriots took the Capitol. | ||
| Oh, shit! | ||
| So was she friends with the... | ||
| Jay Johnson? | ||
| Yeah, I was going to say, she had done a guest spot on Bob's Burgers recently? | ||
| No, although on her resume it says that she was on the Chris Gethard show, and I was like, when? | ||
| Yeah, that could have been like... | ||
| I tried to find that, and I'm not sure when that was, but I wonder if... | ||
| She probably called in whenever she was 17. Maybe. | ||
| Also on her IMDB page, a number of appearances on Red Bar Radio with Mike David. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Chicago's Own. | ||
| Good stuff. | ||
| Good stuff. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I'm glad I don't have to be mean to her stand-up and I can just be mean to her as a person. | ||
| I would have liked to. | ||
| I would have liked to see some of this stand-up. | ||
| I was trying to play her album on iHeart and it was asking me to sign in and I couldn't sign in. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Like, I'm not going to Spotify for this. | ||
| Listen, we've been on iHeart. | ||
| We're not going to pay iHeart. | ||
| So, yeah, she's got some thoughts. | ||
| I mean, it's a lot of just like, hey, I agree with all the stuff you're saying. | ||
| Alex, hooray. | ||
| What a great comedian. | ||
| And, well, I mean, there is some points where she's making stuff that's clearly, you know, being funny. | ||
| And here's a good joke. | ||
| Let's go for it. | ||
| I can ask a thousand questions and I will, but what else is on your mind? | ||
| Oh, gosh. | ||
| I mean, I think this is pretty funny. | ||
| There is a diner in Virginia, or it's a country club, that is getting flack because it had a 9-11 themed menu. | ||
| And they offered... | ||
| This is called tone-deaf items such as chocolate silk pentagon pie 2977 chowder first responder flatbread and they got into a lot of they got a lot of flack basically for it but I don't know I think these guys should lean in I think they should be like yeah it's controlled demolitious it's so this restaurant wanted to have a 9-11 themed menu with some pun names for things but like Some of the stuff that they were going to be serving on the anniversary of 9-11 is 2977 | ||
| chowder, which is a reference to the number of people who died and first responder flatbread because the building fell on them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's pretty fucking disrespectful. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| It's also just dumb. | ||
| I've made plenty of 9-11 jokes. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But I mean, that's... | ||
| Whomst among us. | ||
| That's just bad. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's mean and terrible. | ||
| When I was in college, this was back when I smoked a lot of weed, I wanted to throw a 9-11 themed party in like 2003. | ||
| My ideas were I was going to have like a 9-layer dip and an 11-layer dip, and people would decide which was better. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And I would have twin bongs with lighters decorated to look like planes. | ||
| Great. | ||
| But guess what, man? | ||
| As a complete idiot 19-year-old edgy pothead, even I decided that it was maybe something that sounded kind of funny in my head, and it was like a little subversive, but the act of doing it would be dumb and shitty. | ||
| Imagine. | ||
| I guess this person who runs this restaurant didn't quite make it to that point in 2022, or just felt like the viral buzz he'd get from the backlash was worth doing it anyway. | ||
| Country club people are all psychos. | ||
| Whatever the case, this is meaningless shit, but it's kind of what you'd expect when a comedian comes on InfoWars. | ||
| You have a- Attention grabbing headlines from like the Daily Mail or New York Daily News and then you riff on them in a way that's supposed to be about some larger point but it's really just an opportunity to make some puns you feel are pushing boundaries and make you feel dangerous and anti-establishment. | ||
| It's pretty dumb stuff. | ||
| It's exactly what you were talking about, though. | ||
| It's like the Infowars version of that Zoo Crew radio trying to get people out to the show. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| It is terrible. | ||
| Did you hear about these 9-11 menu items? | ||
| Let's make even more puns about them. | ||
| Here's our segment on new things that are maybe tone-deaf. | ||
| Hey, this is the news story of the day. | ||
| What do you think about this? | ||
| I'll show you tone-deaf. | ||
| Yeah, no shit. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| Fun. | ||
| Also, come on. | ||
| You're a comedian, theoretically. | ||
| Sell it! | ||
| You gotta fucking sell it! | ||
| If you're gonna say Demolicious and not be a sad loser, you gotta try and sell your ass off for that. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| So anyway, they do a little bit more of this run on Riffin. | ||
| They have the Building 7 Seafood Tower. | ||
| Yeah, they should have like... | ||
| We're not making fun of who died on that line. | ||
| We're making fun of the fact that Deep State was involved. | ||
| Yeah, we should have like an inside job kebab. | ||
| I just think that they shouldn't apologize. | ||
| And it's okay to be funny. | ||
| It's okay to laugh. | ||
| It's okay to make fun of things and tragedies. | ||
| And I get flack for this all the time. | ||
| If we're just going to make fun and make comedy out of the happy times in our life, that's going to be pretty boring. | ||
| So I hate that these guys are apologizing. | ||
| They should just lean into it. | ||
| What do you think is going to happen in the midterm? | ||
| 61 days out. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Fun. | ||
| Great transition from Alex, I gotta say. | ||
| Pretty solid stuff. | ||
| Also, Alex, they are making fun of the people who died. | ||
| The name of that chowder and the flatbread, those are specifically about people who died. | ||
| And so, I mean, I guess you probably don't want to defend that because it's more fun for you to fall back on the we're making fun of the deep state being involved even though you can't really back that up in any meaningful way when anybody pushes you on it. | ||
| Yeah, that is more fun, because it is, looking at this as it actually is, there's really no other conclusion to come to other than this person's a shithead. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, and also... | ||
| Maybe they should have the right to do this. | ||
| I mean, listen, it's not worth, like, fucking going crazy over. | ||
| It's a dumb restaurant. | ||
| Like, don't... | ||
| Do this. | ||
| You don't have to do this. | ||
| Nobody forced you. | ||
| Nobody had a gun to your head. | ||
| Put yourself in the position of somebody who maybe lost family members and imagine how they would experience seeing this. | ||
| And then maybe you'll have a little bit of an idea of whether or not it's a good idea. | ||
| Again, I think you should be allowed to. | ||
| It's within your right to do this, but it's fucking shitty. | ||
| Yeah, I mean... | ||
| Great. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| It's pretty much the end of it. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| This guy wants to apologize in order to preserve some sort of decency. | ||
| Good for him, but I don't know. | ||
| Anyway, the midterms. | ||
| I can't believe we're still talking about it. | ||
| Chrissy has some thoughts. | ||
| What do you think is going to happen in the midterms? | ||
| 61 days out. | ||
| I think the Republicans are going to take it. | ||
| The Democrats are pretty much freaking out right now, and I think they're just trying to buckle down and hold on to whatever they can. | ||
| In case they just completely lose. | ||
| And, you know, I think they're just so scared. | ||
| But it's going to be interesting to see what happens. | ||
| Like, I know Lee, his last name is escaping me. | ||
| But he is starting, you know, his numbers against Kathy Hochul in New York are higher than I thought they would be at this point. | ||
| So that's encouraging, especially as a New Yorker. | ||
| If you want a testament to the kind of grassroots involvement we're looking at here, look no further than the name recognition and advocacy Chrissy is doing for some guy named Lee, who's running in New York and doing better than expected. | ||
| Chrissy doesn't seem to know his name until she's reminded later, but she's talking about Lee Zeldin, who's running against Kathy Hochul for the governorship. | ||
| Hochul became governor when Cuomo resigned in August 2021 and is now running for re-election, and put simply, this guy like good numbers. | ||
| Hochul is ahead by double digits in the polls and this seat is considered a very safe Democrat victory. | ||
| This is what you would expect given that someone who's promoting his candidacy on a national media platform doesn't even know his name. | ||
| Never heard of him. | ||
| Yeah, that's a guy who's probably going to lose by double digits. | ||
| Yep, never heard of him, but apparently he's putting the fear of Christian nationalist God into the Dems. | ||
| Yeah, also, I mean, the polling that has been coming out is looking pretty good for Democrats in terms of the midterms. | ||
| And I'm willing to admit that some of my sort of impressions of ways that it could go, you know, after the Roe vs. | ||
| Wade thing, I definitely had a perspective that... | ||
| It could have a negative, demotivating effect on Democratic voters. | ||
| And it turns out that that is absolutely not the case. | ||
| I'm glad to see that. | ||
| But yeah, polling does look like there's a fairly decent chance that Democrats will do better than expected. | ||
| And I don't know. | ||
| Here's my pitch. | ||
| Here's my pitch. | ||
| It should be against the law to talk about midterms until 30 days before voting. | ||
| Imagine what's going to happen in the next 60 days. | ||
| My friend, we are months into Infowars midterm coverage. | ||
| I know, and it should be against the law. | ||
| No one should even be allowed... | ||
| If an elected politician is not with their fucking heads down at a desk working, and instead they're campaigning months before the midterms? | ||
| Fuck off. | ||
| Get out of here. | ||
| Fuck you, man. | ||
| You just don't know about Lee. | ||
| I don't know about Lee. | ||
| I really, really don't. | ||
| So, a lot of this interview becomes a little bit of a discussion about the evils of feminism. | ||
| Sure, why not? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I have some thoughts about the way that this anti-feminism or this opposition to feminism is expressed. | ||
| Because I think that there's something here that isn't... | ||
| It's not productive. | ||
| I didn't even know who Andrew Tate was until he got completely canceled. | ||
| And now I'm just, like, trying to find more and more videos of the guy and learn all I can about him. | ||
| So I think anytime somebody is canceled off any of these major platforms, it just piques more curiosity. | ||
| I taped an hour-long interview with him this morning. | ||
| We're going to air it on Monday, and he's never been stronger. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And he's not buckling to the attack. | ||
| That's what's beautiful. | ||
| Yeah, because he, just like Kevin Samuels, are offering up something, a kind of advice that men and women haven't been getting ever. | ||
| And I think, you know, most people want people to be sheep. | ||
| I'm sure it's brand new. | ||
| They want women to stay feminists and, you know, do all the things that don't make them attractive. | ||
| And same thing with men. | ||
| They want men to be weak, and basically they want all of humanity to not reach their full potential. | ||
| They don't want people... | ||
| And when we hear feminists, that's anti-feminine. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They're not supporting women to be strong in the ways that women are typically strong. | ||
| Like, they're not encouraging women to be nurturing or empathetic or compassionate or, you know, make sandwiches. | ||
| You know, the areas that we really excel in. | ||
| They just, they want women to be like that. | ||
| I mean, women do a lot of amazing things. | ||
| The point is, we're a biological team, and all these globalists are trying to use women as their front person. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I think women are a little easier to sign up. | ||
| I think that's... | ||
| That's why it helps to have friends. | ||
| That's what's great about being a comic. | ||
| I'm friends with a lot of guys. | ||
| We definitely need each other. | ||
| I know from experience. | ||
| I was a women's studies minor in college. | ||
| I was a full-blown feminist. | ||
| I graduated. | ||
| I was the whole, like, I'm never going to get married. | ||
| I'm never going to have kids. | ||
| I had short hair. | ||
| I was the whole... | ||
| They were stealing your power. | ||
| They really were, and I was unhappy all the time, and I couldn't figure out why. | ||
| Well, now you're happy. | ||
| Let's talk about feminism versus real femininity straight ahead. | ||
| So I'm going to choose to ignore the clear attempts at jokes in this clip, like the part about women's natural skills being like baking sandwiches. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| That's just good old-fashioned open mic level joking around. | ||
| Hey, you're going to do what you do. | ||
| I do think that there's an interesting perspective that Chrissy is expressing here, though, and the type of anti-feminism that's coming through is a little bit troubling. | ||
| According to her telling of this, she was into feminism in college, which she seems to characterize as her having short hair and not wanting to get married or have kids. | ||
| That's fine, I guess, but I don't think that those are things that anyone who's being serious would consider central pillars of feminism. | ||
| Maybe you associate it with some people who are feminists, I guess, but it's not the core. | ||
| Chrissy also expresses that she believes that women are easier to psyop, which seems to imply that she herself was the target of this feminism psyop and that she fell for it, which led to the behavior that she's describing in college. | ||
| Thankfully, she's a comic, so she hangs out with a lot of guys who are less easy to psyop. | ||
| Through hanging out with these cool dude comics, who aren't targets of a psyop, she was able to break free of the conditioning that led her to feminism. | ||
| Honestly, it sounds like what she's describing is that she took on a feminist aesthetic in college, and when she tried to get into comedy, that aesthetic was not popular with the men there, so in order to adapt and be accepted, she adopted a new aesthetic that was more socially approved. | ||
| The way it sounds, this really doesn't mean anything about the validity or vapidness of feminism, it's really just more about how many stand-up spaces are heavily gate-kept by dudes who don't like feminists. | ||
| The worst. | ||
| Incidentally, along with these right-wing ding-dongs on our podcast, What are the things that you don't... | ||
| Seem to think about a lot that are the fruits of the work of feminists over history. | ||
| I mean, but this is the quintessential version of that. | ||
| I want the popularity and notoriety that I can get from being a woman in this space. | ||
| And I definitely would rather die than live in the world that these people that I'm in the space of want to create. | ||
| Like, she absolutely does not... | ||
| The foundation of women in comedy is entirely based on, hey, we were oppressed our entire fucking lives and this is all bullshit, isn't it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
| That's the entire foundation. | ||
| Well, yeah, if it weren't for, um... | ||
| Enterprising, strong feminist voices and pushing boundaries. | ||
| If I Love Lucy hadn't been entirely about how... | ||
| Lucy was fucked over on the daily! | ||
| You know, that's where... | ||
| Yeah, oh my god. | ||
| Otherwise we'd have more The Dick Van Dyke Show! | ||
| Yeah, left to the devices of the people who aren't being psyoped in her sort of conception. | ||
| She wouldn't be headlining Cap City Comedy Club on a Thursday. | ||
| She wouldn't be speaking out loud in front of a male presence. | ||
| I mean, I don't want to be dismissive or too shitty about it, but I just think that this perspective is not really fully cooked. | ||
| Quite frankly. | ||
| I think it's a little surface level. | ||
| So, I think that this foundation to this opposition of feminism kind of... | ||
| I just don't think there's a strong foundation here. | ||
| For me, I mean, I was very much a brainwashed feminist in college after graduation, and then part of my awakening was realizing, like, wow, I can't get this air conditioner in this window by myself. | ||
| It's so easy to be a feminist until you need something lifted. | ||
| And then I was like, you know what? | ||
| Men are not so bad after all. | ||
| Like, who's going to help me put this furniture together? | ||
| And that's just what... | ||
| The government wants to do. | ||
| They want you to be reliant on them and not another man. | ||
| And honestly, I give so much props and thanks to my fiancé, Frank Pellegrino, because, like, honestly, when he met me, I was just coming out of my, like, disgusting feminist phase, and he helps guide me and support me, and he helped me start a business. | ||
| To be clear, her fiancé is not Frank Pellegrino, the actor who is dead. | ||
| Okay, good. | ||
| Just to be clear. | ||
| He's the heir of the Pellegrino water family. | ||
| I think, I just, I... | ||
| I find this to be so empty because I am aware of and know many feminists. | ||
| I don't think any would be like... | ||
| Oh no, my principles have been corrupted by asking for help with something. | ||
| These don't seem to be, these seem to be hacky jokes. | ||
| It's a hack joke. | ||
| As opposed to a, like, anything real. | ||
| It's a hack joke made by a dude comic in the 80s, and then Roseanne rose up like a fucking nightmare for these people and was like, eh! | ||
| And then I bought a fucking fan! | ||
| Because I don't need... | ||
| You take it another direction. | ||
| Otherwise, it's stupid. | ||
| It's... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's tough to take this too seriously. | ||
| And it's okay for men to admire that. | ||
| I mean, they want to isolate us from each other, but it's men and women together that create that dynamism. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, for sure. | ||
| This is why I don't understand when women get upset about being catcalled. | ||
| It's like, girl, like, enjoy these moments, okay? | ||
| They're not going to last forever, okay? | ||
| Like, when you get dusty, you're not going to get catcalled. | ||
| Well, let's talk about that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, let's talk about Martin Lawrence on Def Jam in the 80s. | ||
| Let's really get into the whole... | ||
| Let's really get into Martin Lawrence in the 80s. | ||
| Let's really dig into that subject. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Jesus. | ||
| People harass you because it's a compliment. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Eventually they won't want to compliment you. | ||
| I mean... | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's just... | |
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, what do you... | ||
| On the one hand, you have someone who's a comedian. | ||
| And so you... | ||
| You would expect humor to be the way that you're communicating. | ||
| Yeah, you would attempt. | ||
| But at the same time, this is in the context of seemingly trying to make points. | ||
| It does feel like that. | ||
| These points are bad, they're not well constructed, and the jokes are bad. | ||
| So I don't have much to work with here. | ||
| It is a combination of the terrible writing that comics do for claptor. | ||
| And then also the terrible writing that they do for jokes, eliciting neither laughs nor clapping. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Alex seems to, like, not be getting that Chrissy is also kind... | ||
| She's trying to be funny. | ||
| There is an attempt at humor, and in some spaces I could see this being seen as funny. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| I could see some people's sense of humor being like, ha ha, women can't install an air conditioner. | ||
| Poor delivery, but fine. | ||
| Yeah, but what are you going to do when you're sitting next to the worst scene partner in the world? | ||
| Yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right. | ||
| Alex is not a generous... | ||
| Hey, hold on, I know what you're talking about. | ||
| How do you feel about the midterms, Dan? | ||
| Look, I was trying to have a chauvinistic, anti-feminist joke riff going, you're trying to ask me about the fucking midterms. | ||
| It's funny, I got engaged maybe a couple months ago, and people are in my comments like, oh my god, you're glowing, you look so happy, and it's like, yeah, I feel loved. | ||
| This is great. | ||
| This tops all the years of random, casual handjobs. | ||
| Wait till you have children. | ||
| A switch is going to get flipped. | ||
| You're not talking about handjobs anymore. | ||
| No, I'm not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Once you have a child, it's like next level. | |
| I'm hoping it'll all snap back. | ||
| I'm hoping it'll just be toit again. | ||
| Well, we're all going to die, but we live through a trouble for it. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| I'm telling you, men and women together is a ritual. | ||
| Having a child, like when the sperm meets the egg, there's an explosion of electricity. | ||
| This is big time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| This is it. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| This is why comics hang out with other comics. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Hope my pussy get tight again. | ||
| Well, we're all gonna die. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're all gonna die someday. | |
| All right. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| I'm gonna head back to that green room where I belong. | ||
| I think that... | ||
| We're all gonna die someday. | ||
| Hey, listen. | ||
| We're all gonna die someday. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's an interesting juxtaposition of perspectives. | |
| I think that... | ||
| Feminism is not about random handjobs. | ||
| Maybe it's about people being okay with, if that's what you want to do, go for it. | ||
| But it's not like... | ||
| I don't know if there are feminist spaces that are like, someone's like, I don't want to... | ||
| Give random handjobs. | ||
| I'm like, you can't come in. | ||
| Well, I'll tell you this. | ||
| Elizabeth Cady Stanton was very against random handjobs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Zero random handjobs were given out in the early days of feminism. | ||
| That's just true. | ||
| That's just true. | ||
| Yeah, this has been educational for me. | ||
| Mary Wollstonecraft wrote a pen to hating random handjobs. | ||
| Yeah, that's how it went. | ||
| So we have one last clip here because they take some calls and we get one caller. | ||
| It was a perspective on Andrew Tate. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And this is just not good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's a reason Andrew Tate got banned. | |
| He promotes heterosexuality, making money, and masculine strength. | ||
| And what I'm about to say is really going to make something mad. | ||
| But if this lady can talk about handjobs, I should be able to say this. | ||
| The reason Tate got banned from YouTube is because there's nothing but spears and queers there, and I don't see any horns. | ||
| Spears and queers. | ||
| That's funny. | ||
| Is it? | ||
| It's not. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's also hacky. | ||
| But also, that implies that there's only gay people and cows on YouTube, and that is not true. | ||
| No. | ||
| I don't see a lot of cows on there, for one thing. | ||
| I believe he was being insulting towards women. | ||
| Oh, that's interesting. | ||
| I didn't even think that. | ||
| Because, I mean, only two things come from Texas. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's what he's hearkening to. | ||
| Because men aren't allowed on there, so he doesn't see any horns. | ||
| Do you see what I'm saying? | ||
| I could be mistaking that. | ||
| No, I mean, you could be right. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| I mean, he's just trying to say that Andrew Tate was kicked off because he's not gay. | ||
| And that's not... | ||
| You know, I think getting kicked off for promoting heterosexuality and making money and masculine values, I do think those are bad things to promote. | ||
| I don't think you need to promote a thing that you have no choice in the matter of. | ||
| I don't think you need to promote a thing that is literally destroying the world as we speak. | ||
| And I don't think you need to promote another thing that is literally destroying the world as we speak. | ||
| And the making money thing is like... | ||
| Culture is entirely, inexorably tied to that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You don't have to promote making money. | ||
| People love making money. | ||
| If I hurt myself, I better have made money already. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's the country we live in. | ||
| We understand time as money. | ||
| There's an expression, time is money. | ||
| The very concept of the second law of thermodynamics is tied to dollars. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| People who aren't privileged and rich conceive of ours as a rate that you can make. | ||
| You don't need to promote that. | ||
| Anyway, I think that this show sucked. | ||
| Not enough Queen talk, honestly. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Almost no Queen talk. | ||
| I would have loved to rant. | ||
| I would have loved to rant about how people like the Queen. | ||
| Maybe that's coming Friday. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe he needs to warm up for it. | ||
| Yeah, that's possible. | ||
| But you have this... | ||
| This show was really a Neapolitan bar of bad shit. | ||
| You know, like, it was just a variety. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because you had this deeply, deeply racist beginning. | ||
| Right. | ||
| This very weird interview with Andrew Torba where he's trying to whitewash Christian nationalism in the middle. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| And then this interview that was kind of just, I don't know, bad comedy about feminism being bad for the most part. | ||
| At the end... | ||
| And at the same time, a through line of laundering the reputation of Andrew Tate. | ||
| And I just think all of it is unspeakably pointless and bad. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It is a real... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sucks. | |
| It's a real, like, just strikeout. | ||
| In every sense of the word, you didn't get the bat off your shoulder. | ||
| No. | ||
| You just watched the ball go by. | ||
| You struck out looking. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Slowly. | |
| Slowly. | ||
| Very slowly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's shit. | ||
| You struck out on T-Ball. | ||
| Pretty bad. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's not good. | ||
| I feel a little bit dumb that we... | ||
| You know, I made the call. | ||
| Always. | ||
| Always. | ||
| I made the call that we were going to record late because I wanted to try and get this episode out. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| The Queen died. | ||
| It's huge. | ||
| It's huge. | ||
| She's been... | ||
| The world is like, whoa. | ||
| She's been a monarch for... | ||
| A hundred years. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Forever. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then this is what we got. | ||
| It's underwhelming. | ||
| It's always fucking underwhelming. | ||
| I do love... | ||
| The one Queen news that I really enjoyed reading about was people scrambling over like... | ||
| We're gonna have to change our money. | ||
| I was like, no you don't. | ||
| You totally don't. | ||
| You don't have to. | ||
| You can just leave it there. | ||
| No one's gonna complain either. | ||
| You got time at the very least. | ||
| Is King Charles gonna be like, where's my face on that money? | ||
| This money is no longer good. | ||
| Also, King Charles doesn't have that much time left, so you're just throwing your money away and making different money. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm not gonna get used to King Charles, I don't think. | ||
| You don't think so? | ||
| It's been Prince Charles my whole life. | ||
| It just has a ring to it. | ||
| I'm fine with, you know. | ||
| Oh, I also don't care. | ||
| Yeah, that's the way to go. | ||
| That's the one I was going for, yeah. | ||
| Anyway, it's bye-bye time. | ||
| It does feel that way. | ||
| It feels like we are on our way to hyperspace. | ||
| We'll be back. | ||
| But until then, Jordan, we have a website. | ||
| We do have a website. | ||
| It's knowledgefight.com. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| We're also on Twitter. | ||
| We are on Twitter. | ||
| It's at knowledge underscore fight. | ||

|
Oh, shit. | |
| I meant to mention this earlier, but I forgot. | ||
| I have gotten some messages and feedback from folks about the button stuff. | ||
| Some people have gotten buttons and some people are confused. | ||
| They haven't come yet. | ||
| They're worried it's lost in the mail. | ||
| It is not. | ||
| They're coming out gradually because... | ||
| You know, this is an in-house operation. | ||
| It's a mom-and-pop button shop. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| So don't be worried if yours hasn't shown up yet. | ||
| It's going to be a gradual process, maybe for the next month or two. | ||
| So, anyway. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Enjoy. | ||
| Enjoy. | ||
| We'll be back. | ||
| But until then, I'm Neo. | ||
| I'm Leo. | ||
| I'm DZX Clark. | ||
| I'm Wilford Snibblesnabble of the Gribble Pibble. | ||
| And now here comes the sex robots. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
