Today, Dan and Jordan check in to see how Alex responded to Trump announcing his 2024 presidential campaign. In this installment, Alex lies a bunch about medically assisted death, takes calls he doesn't want to deal with, and interviews a rambling weirdo with a flair for wordplay. Citations
I gotta say, this brings up an important point, and that is that I think that at least one of these other bright spot buttons might have gotten lost in the mail.
So I wake up the next morning under a tarp to someone kicking me.
And a car horn honking, and I open up the tarp, and it's Micah's little brother, and his mom is in a van picking them up to go to breakfast or something.
This is exactly like if he was in his office and he just threw a ball of paper all the way across into a garbage can and nobody saw it, but it was recorded so he's like, I'm just going to play this.
And then Trump says, we will take America back, and we will put a stop to these electronic systems immediately, demand voter ID, same-day voting, and only paper ballots.
Here is the president announcing in his key statement.
But the most important thing I think that Alex needs to rebut here or talk about is Trump went on a quite protracted rant about how you need to kill drug dealers.
He was saying that in China they have quick trials where they would catch a drug dealer and then have a quick trial and then that night they'd be executed.
Of all the things that I would have expected, I mean, listen, far be it for me to not have my pulse on the modern voter, but I don't think you can go from paper ballots is the hallmark of my campaign, and also...
Yeah, I'm wondering if conservatives are aware so far...
That from their Tea Party beginnings, they have conservative themselves all the way into thinking Sharia law is actually pretty great, as long as we don't call it that.
I saw where Rupert Murdoch reportedly called Trump like he did six, seven years ago and said...
If you continue to run, I'm not going to support you.
I'm going to support a Democrat.
Well, I mean, he did that before, and then flip-flopped back to Trump later, so I see this as a feather in Trump's cap that he's got the establishment lined up against him, and not good for DeSantis having them lined up for him.
That does not bode well for DeSantis, even though I really like DeSantis.
So in fairness, Rupert Murdoch hates Trump as a person, and has for a long time, before his 2016 run.
Trump was a big media figure, and Murdoch is in the publishing business, including Tabloid-ass magazine, so they weren't unfamiliar with each other at that point.
Gradually, Jared Kushner convinced Murdoch to sit down and talk with Trump, and this led to Murdoch realizing that Trump was actually running, and that all signs pointed to him being the inevitable Republican nominee, so he endorsed him.
I'm sure he would have preferred a different primary candidate to have won the nomination, but I don't think he was going to back Hillary.
I think he would have just been like, I don't like this guy.
Important to keep in mind as people keep trying to throw narratives around at people long before anything even close to a presidential election is run is that, hey...
Fuck all of these, oh, they're arguing bullshit.
At the end of the day, they're gonna get in line behind racism.
I mean, 2016 should teach a lot of lessons about the primary and how sort of humiliated so many people were who were trying to take Trump out in the primary.
So Matt Gaetz will absolutely not become Speaker of the House, and if he does try to pull a power play, he could fuck around and cause some really undesirable outcomes.
The only way that this works is if he holds the party hostage.
If Gaetz has like seven votes that commit to not flipping no matter what, he could threaten to tank the GOP winning the Speakership.
In that situation, I guess he could try to force the rest of the GOP reps to get in line with him or let a Democrat be Speaker, but I don't see that possibility happening.
I think the best that you can do, and I mean, this is kind of just decent politics, is threaten to do this, and then negotiate some kind of a concession with McCarthy, try and get maybe some positions in some committees and stuff.
I would say that Matt Gaetz is probably smart enough to realize that if his profile goes up any higher, people are finally going to put him in jail where he belongs.
I'm pretty sure he's a criminal of many different types.
I think he would, but the reality of these numbers just doesn't work for him.
He would have to essentially...
The role, really, of the majority leader or the speaker in party leadership is about corralling votes.
It's about getting people on the same page.
And if you have seven people or whatever that you're holding the vote hostage for, it's going to be very difficult for you to take on the leadership position of all of those people you've just pissed off and forced yourself to be in charge of.
But to go back to the point you made at the very top, and I want to be very clear about this, his position on vaccinations is identical to that of Ron DeSantis.
If I need to bring you the video of Ron advocating the shot and saying it will protect you from infection...
I do appreciate the I'm an issues guy, and my issues are if everyone, including his family, hates him, that makes me think he's a pretty good guy for the job.
In a way, you could read it that way because it's so narcissistic that you'd think, well, there's no way a reasonable human being would be anything but cleverly sarcastic about this absurd thing to say.
Okay, so I'm not going to say who I'm in favor of, but one guy I'm only going to say positive things about, and then the other one I'm going to say a negative thing about.
Whether we nominate former President Donald Trump or whether we nominate Governor DeSantis or who we nominate, if we can't have free, fair, honest, transparent elections, What's just happened in Arizona is an abomination.
The ballots that were tested the night before the election are the correct 19 inches long.
On election day, the paper ballots that are sent to only Republican precincts are 20 inches long.
The machines are specifically made not Not to accept them.
In one case, an election judge I spoke to said a person tried to get the tabulator to receive their ballot 15 times and it was rejected.
Well, it's rejected because the trays inside the tabulator are not made to take that paper.
So apparently, the globalists know that they couldn't get away with election hacking fraud this time, and that too many people were out looking for the ballot mules, so they couldn't box stuff.
You know, that's just no good.
So the only way they could think to steal the election was sending ballots an inch too big to Republican polling places.
So this is based on a theory that was published in the Gateway Pundit, relying wholly on the expertise of one person, a guy named Dan Sundin.
At the end of this article in Gateway Pundit, there's a hat tip to David and Aaron Clements, who presumably brought this all to the attention of Jim Hoft's twin brother.
David Clements is a New Mexico State University business school professor who's been suspended from his position because of vaccine and mask mandates that he was protesting.
So he's gotten to collect a salary while he's gone on tour around the country, appearing at rallies about how the 2020 election was stolen, among other various right-wing conspiracy topics.
Clements has been making interview videos on Rumble about election fraud nonsense since 2020, and he's interviewed luminaries like Ron Watkins and, naturally, Dan Sundin.
The two of them are associates in this election fraud stuff over the years.
It's not like he's some unbiased expert who the Gateway Sure, sure, sure.
It is not the same guy, because I watched a video interview with the guy from the election fraud conspiracies, and he looks nothing like the FBI's most wanted flyer.
Look, I got up late today because I was up celebrating the historic announcement of Donald Trump.
And therefore, when I went to bed, I heard that Russian missiles had attacked Poland.
Then when I came on your broadcast, I saw you laying out the truth.
Then I went online figuring that, well, everybody else will probably be saying the same thing Alex is saying.
And you know what, Alex?
Nobody other than Infowars, by and large, is reporting the truth.
This underlines the importance of Infowars and why they are so desperate to take you down.
This underlies the importance of Infowars and why I so value this platform and this forum, because I know whenever there is a concerted effort...
At propaganda, regardless what the issue, whether it's Donald Trump or whether it's Governor DeSantis or whether it's the situation in Ukraine or whether it's what the Red Chinese are up to, the safest place to go to find out what is really going on.
And it's put out there fearlessly.
and with the knowledge that we're going to be attacked as conspiracy theorists and nutjobs and extremists, and this one always makes me laugh, white supremacists.
Like, these assholes pat themselves on the back so hard, every time one of the random denials they make accidentally happens to end up being accurate.
Alex did say that he thought the missile that hit Poland was a surface-to-air missile from Ukraine, and it's now appearing that that is the case.
But...
It's so dishonest for him to pretend he was the only person talking about this.
A Newsweek article from a day before this episode was recorded said, quote, The Associated Press initially cited an unnamed senior US intelligence confirming that Russia was indeed behind the cross-border strike.
Hours later, the same outlet cited three US officials who said preliminary assessments suggest the missile was fired by Ukrainian forces in an attempt to intercept an incoming Russian missile.
On the same day as this episode, Business Insider published an article including, quote, a statement from the office of Poland's president said it was highly probable that Ukraine had launched the surface-to-air missile in response to...
Sure.
There were a lot of people, some random people on Twitter and some in official positions.
Who are jumping the gun to blame Russia.
That is fair enough.
But what Alex and Roger are doing is just as bad as any of those people.
They're manufacturing a fake consensus that they stand in opposition to.
They're pretending that everybody in the media, everyone in government, all the power establishment were pushing the message that Russia did this on purpose and that Article 5 should be invoked.
And that it was only Infowars, the wrongly maligned but always right truth tellers, who had the courage to stand up and say that it looks like it could be a surface-to-air missile.
This is an illusion.
They weren't the only ones to voice this kind of concern and this possibility.
This is a white supremacist outlet, and they're constantly wrong about almost everything.
Alex didn't think Putin was going to try and invade past the Donbass, and said that Zelensky was a double agent working for Putin.
He said that Russia had paid off the Ukrainian army, so the war was only going to last a few days.
He said that Putin was going to probably nuke us tomorrow for like the last two months.
And I think...
he needs to bring these things up.
He's played this clip of him saying the missile was a surface-to-air missile three times on this episode, I believe.
And I think...
And think about every time he has to answer for how he's constantly wrong about everything.
He just yells Jussie Smollett and thinks like, okay, great.
Alex makes a gigantic deal out of these rare instances and pretends the thousands of times he's been wrong never happened because this has the effect of subtly tricking the audience into thinking that he's right way more frequently than he actually is.
It's a pretty simple and very intentional manipulation tactic and I guess it works.
The one spot where you could really kind of dig in with a conspiracy theory that just kind of works either way.
If you're saying to me that the conspiracy theory is all the governments involved in this, except for the Ukrainian government, have kind of correctly realized that if it is Russian missiles, they did fire them, and even if it was an accident, it did cross over into Poland.
That's a real big problem.
And that maybe, if it's an accident, maybe we all just say, oh, Ukraine made the accident, and then it's less of a problem.
It's still a problem.
But it's not the same problem now, is it?
Now, if we find out six years later they do the investigation and that's true, fine.
That's great.
It's just, why are you saying that you got this part right?
Out of 10....to be in this position and persecuted by the most evil forces in the history of this planet.
Their covert operations have now been drawn out in the open.
The process of them trying to break us with the process of their downfall and destruction.
It has been foretold.
And now, we see it all beginning to manifest.
Because the mind of man is made in the image of God.
What we envision, over time, we are able to realize.
That's why they feed us ugliness and death and destruction and tell us we're trash.
So we manifest the dystopic system that Hollywood spreads.
But we will manifest the blueprint that God has given us and our stairway to heaven.
All right, I want to do this.
Some stations don't carry this segment, and this is some big news.
So I'm going to come back in with the latest developments on the next big rollout that they've been beta testing, and that is forced government-intimidated social credit score suicide.
Alex gets down to business and cites these two stories that he has regarding assisted suicide that he is now claiming is killing children, euthanizing children, and government social credit score, blah, blah, blah.
So these are the two stories that Alex is operating off of, and I guess they prove that the government is trying to force people into being euthanized.
The first headline that he read is, you know, it's about this Canadian law, and it's just the title of a Greg Reese video that was cribbing mostly from a Tucker Carlson segment, and that segment itself is reporting on an article that was posted on Barry Weiss's Substack.
all of this just boils down to the Canadian Parliament passing a revision to their medical assistants in dying legislation also known as their MAID legislation about who is eligible to receive that care.
This revision was passed in March 2021, but it doesn't take effect until next year.
Right, right, right, All right.
The revision also specified, quote, that persons whose sole underlying medical condition is mental illness are not eligible for medical assistance in dying.
That is something that is obscured by Tucker's coverage, and then now Alex is just completely lying about.
Even if you take everything that Tucker says in his report as truth, the person who he's basing his entire story on is 23 years old, so this is not a child.
The second headline is not even worth paying attention to, but the first one does bring up a fairly important conversation, which is the sticky issues around assisted end-of-life care.
Obviously, I do support access to this kind of care, but there are cases where things can be a little bit complicated.
I do think that these are things that people should be talking about, but the perspectives of folks like Tucker and Alex are worthless.
They aren't dealing with the issues as they actually exist.
They're creating a fake version of the issue to use as a prop to attack their political enemies and keep their audiences in fear about how they're going to force your kids to be euthanized or whatever.
I'm going to play a little bit of the Greg Reese report.
It is kind of a weird situation that actually I have a suggested solution to, and Alex and his whole crew don't.
So anyway, here's the intro that Alex gives to the Gregory's Report.
Big Pharma, owned by the Big Banks to the UN, the WF, is promoting government extermination of the mentally ill and the physically disabled, calling it liberal and trendy.
Bill Gates' death panels on steroids.
Here is a critical Gregory's Report, and I'll give you the rest of the story.
While government run media pushes the idea of cannibalism, government assisted suicide is officially now a thing in 2022.
Before COVID, you could always count on modern medicine to keep you alive so long as you had the money or insurance to pay for it.
But these days, the hospitals seem more likely to liquidate you.
And in Canada, they will help you kill yourself.
Even if you don't really want to die.
unidentified
Amir Farsud has applied for medically assisted dying known as MAID.
He lives in constant agony due to a back injury but has started the process for end of life because his rooming house is up for sale and he can't find anywhere else to live that he can afford.
He barely survives on Ontario disability support payments which are just over $1,200 a month.
He doesn't want to die but being homeless is not an option.
I know in my present health condition I would survive it anyway.
They would be opposed to the government paying for his housing.
They would be opposed to the government providing him with free health care.
So what's the actual answer here?
I'm not saying that Farsud should go to assisted suicide because of the circumstances like this, but I think that this situation does highlight a really sticky issue where the reality of what he's living through brings into focus how cruel the system itself actually is.
This video from the Canadian News is about a month old, and by the point Reese is making this video, Farsud had actually launched a successful GoFundMe, and he'd raised $60,000 to secure his housing, and he'd gone public that he no longer...
Right.
Marsud has a really good perspective on the ethical issue about how his poverty was driving his thinking.
From a Toronto City News article, quote, He said government should be focusing on fixing the issues causing poverty rather than the moral ramifications of those in poverty seeking MAID.
Quote, I think the proper solution is to not have that problem is to alleviate what's causing the problem.
If society is concerned about people like me and like the half million other people on ODSP in poverty, then bring them out of poverty.
That's the obvious solution.
If they were out of poverty and they had a roof over their head and food in their mouths, I guarantee you made wouldn't be a consideration.
The whole debate would become superfluous.
I'm certain that Infowars will not follow up on the story and cover this comment from Farsud because they aren't interested in this perspective.
They want to use him as a prop to build up a fraudulent argument that the government is trying to force people to kill themselves, but they'd honestly be pretty fine with letting him die on the street, especially if they knew that they could call him a communist for his ideas or whatever.
But this is a little bit of a difficult...
He has an underlying chronic health condition that is miserable for him to live with without proper care and a place to live.
And his poverty is threatening access to that medical care and the place to live.
Obviously, the solution isn't, well, medically assisted suicide.
But it highlights how someone in that situation would look at that as like, well, I'm going to die on the street anyway.
The clear point is almost kind of too simple insofar as like, what is the point of the government, of all of us together, if we can't even get the simple Maslow's hierarchy of needs handled, you know?
And if you're saying that I can't have access to food, water, or shelter...
Consistently or guaranteed.
If I can't have guaranteed access to those, then death is...
Borderline a lateral move, or at the very least, I'm living right next to it every single day of my life.
That's what he's expressing.
Really, what you're saying is, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
And really, when you break this down, this Amir Farsud's story is about somebody who is facing the prospect of living on the street with a chronic condition that causes severe pain and all this.
And because of that, he's considering end-of-life medical-assisted death.
It should really concern any of Reese's viewers that he seems to be citing the Canadian government, but also saying that posts on social media seem to indicate that this is true.
Like, that's not good.
And it should tell you that Greg did zero research on this subject past looking at some social media posts.
So here are some things that you need to keep in mind.
Assisted dying for children has been legal in the Netherlands since 2002, and in the intervening 13 years, seven children apprised themselves of that care.
Belgium made this kind of medical care legal in 2014, and three children sought that care between 2016 and 2017.
It's something that has a precedent, and other countries' experience tells us that it's something that's used by people, including children, who have severe medical conditions that are not treatable and cause a great deal of suffering.
Mature minor is a term that exists in Canadian and American law already.
It's not something that's being used specifically in this case, which is how Greg is definitely Yeah.
Their conclusion was that the law already exists, that mature minors can make medical decisions for themselves that involve informed consent, and that there isn't really a compelling reason that this should be any different when it comes to medically assisted death.
Something that makes this a different case from other informed consent requirements surrounding mature minors.
So the organization Dying with Dignity has suggested some safeguard where informed consent from a parent or guardian would be required for patients aged 12 to 15, and consultation with a parent or guardian would be required for people aged 16 and 17. Yeah.
Which seems like, I mean, it's not going without the parent's consent, even for these mature minors, people who have the ability to recognize consent in terms of their medical decisions.
You know, even if you're 16 or 17, it would still require consultation with a parent or guardian.
It's a hard, complicated, and emotionally heavy subject, and I get why people have strong emotional reactions around these kinds of issues, but from the bottom of my heart, I have to say and continue to stress that Alex and InfoWars' contribution to this conversation is worthless and counterproductive.
I think it's different for you and me, probably, the things that they have that reaction to.
But I think that I find it more offensive when there is a point against the maybe everybody should have free access to end of medically assisted death.
That is somewhere where there is conversation that is relevant.
I mean, a reasonable conversation includes empathy for the people that this is happening to, themselves dealing with all of this stuff, and instead it's people arguing about the government trying to kill you.
Anyway, the only evidence that's being provided here that the government of Canada is motivated by saving money is Harrison Smith, another Infowars employee, saying so.
This is not good reporting.
In reality, the number that Harrison is citing comes from an October 2020 report titled, quote, Cost Estimate for Bill C-7, Medical Assistance and Dying.
It was conducted by the Parliamentary Budget Officer, and it was prompted by the request of an unnamed senator.
They looked at numbers from the Netherlands and Belgium as guides and found that it would be about $90 million in medical expenses would be saved by this bill.
Well, basically what they're both citing, Greg and Harrison.
However, it's very clear, this report, when it says, quote, many studies have shown that healthcare costs in the last year of life are disproportionately high, representing between 10 and 20% of total healthcare costs, despite these patients representing about 1% of the population.
Nevertheless, this report should in no way be interpreted as suggesting that MAID can be used to reduce healthcare costs.
And then Greg is using Harrison's fraudulent interpretation to suggest that the Canadian government is motivated by financial considerations to offer assisted dying care.
This is bullshit.
The actual report that Harrison is citing includes this part that he conveniently ignored.
Quote, to conclude, expanding access to MAID will result in a net reduction in health care costs for the provincial governments.
However, this reduction represents a negligible portion of the health care budgets of the provinces.
Dr. Tanu Seputro wrote in 2017, we should strive to save on suffering and invest more in its reduction, which may in turn reduce requests for medical aid and dying.
Infowars and everyone who work there are a raft of liars.
Their arguments suck.
They just make most of what And the solution to the problem they're pretending to be so upset about is the thing that they entirely don't support, which is more government spending on social welfare programs.
This is just a dead end of them complaining about something they don't care about to begin with.
I just want to know how in the world are you even considering throwing your weight behind Trump when there's how many children are being stacked up in bodies, old people stacked up, more and more maimed every day from these shots.
And you say that he's backing off from these shots.
When I watched that Full Sin interview or podcast, he said that was his greatest achievement Ooh!
This is an argument for you being less torn about it, because if you put the ultimatum out and Trump didn't care, that should tell you that you have no purchase here.
Well, AJ, I'll promise you this, and the earlier caller that raised all this, we're not going to screen your calls, and you're going to have a place to voice your opinion to millions of people about what you think.
And tomorrow, I'm going to open the phones up for multiple hours on this one topic.
You know, when you live in the moment, a lot of people don't really recognize what it means to live in the moment, which is to forget everything that you said earlier.
People are looking for a political solution to a spiritual problem.
It's my contention that obviously the United States has declared, the Democrats specifically, and the Republican whores have declared war on God.
They've declared war on everything that made our country great.
The destruction of the family, the destruction of a grateful nation versus the one that's basically, we're in a rape, pillage, and plunder the United States has been taken under.
I'm being told, and this is exclusive to your podcast today, broadcast today, is the fact that they're already setting up another vehicle, another crypto, and I call them kleptocurrency.
Somebody make that name up.
But Alex, we're watching the cryptocurrencies turn into kryptonite for the financial system.
And I want to just remind everyone that mind wars and spirit wars were the two catchphrase ideas from Reset Wars that Alex has just abandoned and not really expanded upon after he released the culmination of his life's work.
We're going to come back and talk about some key ways to protect ourselves and get into what's coming next and the Russia situation and then blaming the missile attack on Russia even though they admit Russia didn't do it.
But Steve, at the end of the day, lead us in a minute of prayer before we go to break.
Because you don't do this a lot, but lead us in a minute of prayer because God's the answer.
So the reason that people would still be blaming Russia, even if it was a surface-to-air missile that was launched by Ukraine that went errant, is because they wouldn't have been launching that if Russia wasn't firing missiles.
So there is still an argument to be made that, hey, at the end of the day, Russia still bears some responsibility for the circumstances where this missile would have been launched.
