|
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, buddy. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| What's your bright spot this new year? | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| My first bright spot of the year. | ||
| Jordan, today it is... | ||
| I finally... | ||
| I've been resistant to join CBB World, the Comedy Bang Bang sort of subscription thing. | ||
| Because I resent the idea of it. | ||
| I resent... | ||
| All of the Earwolf business models and everything sort of funneling people into this service and then they had the howl and then it went into Stitcher. | ||
| It just seems like, get your shit together. | ||
| What the fuck is going on with all this? | ||
| Hey, what's under this cup? | ||
| Oh, another subscription that you should buy. | ||
| I mean, the problem is it's not surprising that these creative people are bad businessmen. | ||
| The problem is they're trying to be businessmen in the first place. | ||
| What are you guys doing? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm sure there's information that I'm not privy to and there's some sort of an explanation. | ||
| I don't know what it is. | ||
| But anyway, I'm deeply resentful. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| But I finally signed up and the reason was because I didn't realize that there was a show that Tim Baltz does. | ||
| His character Randy Snuts. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He has a show called Hey Randy and it's the best. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It's so good. | ||
| I don't know what it is. | ||
| First of all, Tim Bolts is just amazing. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I think I've talked about how when I first moved to Chicago, every Sunday night, me and my buddy Dan Schar would go to the family tree houseboat accident at I.O. Tim Bolts and a couple other dudes, their improv show. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he's just brilliant and so funny. | ||
| And this character, there's just something about it. | ||
| This dirtbag guy, it's very relatable and his instincts are just so... | ||
| Goddamn sharp. | ||
| And the rest of the people who are on the show, too, are just... | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Very few things are really laugh-out-loud kind of things for me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| They get guttural. | ||
| Hey, don't I know it. | ||
| And man, it's just the best. | ||
| Literally, my entire career is trying to make you laugh, and it's not easy. | ||
| I've done, what, we've done 780? | ||
| I've got four or five good ones. | ||
| Well, 780 was the misnumbering that I did. | ||
| Four or five good ones in there. | ||
| I'm pretty proud of those. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I think that's a good batting average, honestly. | ||
| I mean, you shouldn't feel bad. | ||
| It's a low number, but you gotta compare it to other folks. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's on curve. | ||
| But yeah, anyway. | ||
| Hey, Randy. | ||
| Great podcast. | ||
| The last one came out in, like, November, and I really hope that they're gonna make more of them, because there's only nine, and they're all fantastic. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| Need to make more. | ||
| You had to subscribe for nine episodes? | ||
| Get to work, man! | ||
| Well, I'm trying to find some other stuff that might be worthwhile on there. | ||
| There's more of the Bananas for Bonanza. | ||
| Of course, of course. | ||
| Yeah, whenever they took that behind the paywall, I was weeping. | ||
| Weeping uncontrollably. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Well, there's more of it there. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Anyway, what's your bright spot? | ||
| My bright spot. | ||
| Bad spot is I have absolutely torn through Ken Liu's The Grace of Kings books. | ||
| Fan-fucking-tastic. | ||
| Cannot recommend them enough. | ||
| What he does is he takes the 100 schools period of Chinese philosophy between, you know, 400 and 100 BCE, somewhere around there, and kind of anthropomorphizes it into a fantasy version of China around that time period. | ||
| And instead of Confucianism running roughshod over everybody else, you know, because they have all the weapons, in this situation, Taoism actually kind of has greater sway, along with, I mean, it's... | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| I get really excited. | ||
| I thought you were going to finish a thought. | ||
| I know, I know. | ||
| And that's why I was sort of not responding. | ||
| I was letting you go. | ||
| And then I got confused because there was not an end to the thought. | ||
| You were doing great. | ||
| You were doing great. | ||
| Let me condense it a lot better. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| There is a historian in the 20th century. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| For my money, the greatest historian of the 20th century. | ||
| Alex Jones. | ||
| Dr. Feng Yulan. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Different guy. | ||
| He wrote the history of Chinese philosophy. | ||
| And when I say the, I mean like literally. | ||
| The most important, like, he did it. | ||
| He synthesized the history of Eastern philosophy and the history of Western philosophy. | ||
| Put the knife down. | ||
| He's amazing! | ||
| I believe you. | ||
| Anyways, I've never read anybody who's, I've never met anybody or talked to anybody who's also read all of Dr. Feng Yulan and reading this quadrilogy. | ||
| The first time I've ever met somebody who understands it. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| I can see why you have this excitement. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's very lonely. | |
| It's very lonely whenever you care so hard about something. | ||
| Well, here's the good news. | ||
| Maybe somebody who's out there listening might connect with that and maybe you'll make a new friend. | ||
| Oh, I'm excited. | ||
| About your weird niche interest. | ||
| It's not niche. | ||
| It's literally the fundamental. | ||
| I would never, honestly, I would never argue philosophy with anybody if I didn't have that book. | ||
| Open and ready. | ||
| Because it's everything. | ||
| The 100 schools period is all of it. | ||
| It's all of it. | ||
| I mean, anyways, what I'm saying is anytime somebody says philosophy and a white person said it, I discount it immediately. | ||
| For me, that's too many schools. | ||
| Well, that's also kind of why they got it all. | ||
| They had more schools. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Greece only had a few schools. | ||
| True. | ||
| Yeah, they had the 23 schools period. | ||
| 23 Skidoo Schools. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So, Jordan, today we have an episode. | ||
| It's the new year. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Hey, we're recording this on January 1st. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| 2023. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Wee-dee-dee! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| Is that our new bit for 2023? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| Oh, no. | ||
| We're in trouble. | ||
| But I decided, hey, what do we do? | ||
| We've got to send off 2022. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Even though we are in 2023 as we're recording this, we're still emotionally closing up the book that was 2022. | ||
| There's no closure on it yet. | ||
| No. | ||
| And thankfully, Alex Jones, on Saturday, December 31st... | ||
| Don't tell me. | ||
| ...put out an episode... | ||
| Final broadcast of the year. | ||
| And so I said, hey, final broadcast of the year seems like a perfect way to close the book. | ||
| That's what we gotta do. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So today we're gonna be discussing Alex's Saturday emergency last broadcast of 2022. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And we'll see. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| I mean, as we go through this, I'll allow you to determine whether or not this rises to the level of needing an emergency broadcast. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Maybe it does. | ||
| Maybe it doesn't. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| How much money he makes at the end of it will determine whether or not it was successful, right? | ||
| If he doesn't make a ton of money, it's not for lack of trying. | ||
| That's kind of what I was thinking. | ||
| That's kind of what I was thinking. | ||
| He is swinging. | ||
| Anyway, we'll get down to business on this, but before we do, let's take a little moment to say hello to some new wonks. | ||
| Oh, that's a great idea. | ||
| So first, the magic salami spoiled his birthday surprise by becoming a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Next, Ultrakill's most insignificant fuck. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Next, Richard from Portslade asks, Am I alone in noticing that the Red Alert theme song samples Wrong Impression by Natalie Imbruglia? | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| This has come up many times. | ||
| It has come up a lot. | ||
| Might as well address it on the show itself. | ||
| The string portion of that... | ||
| That is in the Natalie and Brulia song. | ||
| It is also the theme song from Alex's Endgame documentary. | ||
| And the reason is because it is a sample string cut that is in editing software. | ||
| And that is where they all ended up getting it from. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So it's like one of those pre-built-in string... | ||
| Let's bring it back down to you and I both know why. | ||
| A little bit lazy, a little bit easy. | ||
| But it also sounds good in the Natalie and Brulia song. | ||
| Totally, totally. | ||
| Sounds fine in Endgame. | ||
| I'm not mad at it. | ||
| No. | ||
| So next, a happy birthday from Jewels to Waffles. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you very much. | |
| A little late on that one or early. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| And Beef House. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| If it's just Beef House, you end with Beef House. | ||
| Evergreen. | ||
| Evergreen. | ||
| And we got a technocrat in the mix, Jordan. | ||
| So thank you so much to quoting past and present technocrat drops got Carissa and Marcus to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a technocrat. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| I have risen above. | ||
| My enemies. | ||
| I might quit tomorrow, actually. | ||
| I'm just going to take a little breaky now. | ||
| A little breaky for me. | ||
| And then we're going to come back. | ||
| And I'm going to start the show over. | ||
| But I'm the devil! | ||
| I've got to be taken over here! | ||
| Fuck you! | ||
| Fuck you! | ||
| I've got plenty of words for you, but at the end of the day, fuck you and your New World Order, and fuck the horse you rode in on, and all your shit! | ||
| Maybe today should be my last broadcast. | ||
| Maybe I'll just be gone a month, maybe five years. | ||
| Maybe I'll walk out of here tomorrow and you never see me again. | ||
| That's really what I want to do. | ||
| I never want to come back here again. | ||
| I apologize to the crew and the listeners yesterday that I was legitimately having breakdowns on air. | ||
| I'll be better tomorrow. | ||
| He's not really. | ||
| But also, that was fortuitous, the name in that drop, because Carissa is also the name of Randy Snutz's duplicitous and scandalous on-again, off-again girlfriend. | ||
| I'm just blown away. | ||
| Here's what I needed to start 2023, Dan. | ||
| The idea of someone standing at the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro screaming... | ||
| Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent! | ||
| That's what we've made an impact. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| We've made an impact. | ||
| Through the canyons echo the words, loser little titty baby. | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So, I'd like to apologize in advance for this out of context. | ||
| Great, great. | ||
| This is mostly just in case Dan Arkey wants to put this in a song. | ||
| Okay, okay. | ||
| It's party time. | ||
| I'm gonna get in your guts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| No! | ||
| Not good. | ||
| No! | ||
| No! | ||
| Nope. | ||
| But you can easily see where that fits into some sort of song. | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| We're gonna start off the episode with Alex's emergency. | ||
| Saturday, his day off. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| He's coming in. | ||
| How could he? | ||
| Such important stuff going on. | ||
| Here we are on the final broadcast, the final emergency transmission of this insanely dangerous, brutal, but also important year for awakening, 2022. | ||
| Thank you for joining us on this New Year's Eve emergency transmission. | ||
| The quickening's here. | ||
| The political, the cultural, the spiritual, the economic planets are aligning. | ||
| Everybody from the Pope has died. | ||
| Barbara Walters has died. | ||
| Nazi Pope died. | ||
| I want to do somewhat of a year in review the giant stories and earth-changing events that have happened versus the distractionary things that are unfolding as well. | ||
| And I want to look at the globalist rollout of their climate lockdowns that are now being initiated and how important it is. | ||
| Wherever you are in the world, to fight back against those and not submit to it. | ||
| Not sure that the former Pope and Barbara Walters dying requires an emergency episode, but, you know, we all rationalize our actions in our own ways. | ||
| He was the first Pope to step down for several hundred years. | ||
| Nobody knew if he was ever going to die or not. | ||
| You don't know. | ||
| He's Pope! | ||
| Could be a loophole. | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| Considering that Walters was 93 and Pope Benedict was 95, this seems like two very predictable and unsurprising public figure deaths. | ||
| But it's interesting to hear Alex so interested in talking about the big important news and complaining about... | ||
| Generally speaking, I completely agree. | ||
| There are way too many distractions in the world and particularly in the media, but where we split paths is that I can say with absolute certainty that at least 75% of Alex's content is meaningless distractions that he's just reporting based on a tweet or a meme or something. | ||
| Almost nothing he covers means anything, and more often than not, he's just making shit up. | ||
| I would challenge anyone who loves Alex's show and thinks his content means anything to go back and listen to his episodes from earlier in this year and marvel at how many things were emergencies that mysteriously resolved themselves and were never mentioned again. | ||
| Alex's business model relies on constant distraction because if he doesn't keep the audience hyper-stimulated, there is a serious risk that they'll start questioning some of the basic details of the stories he covers and realize that he's full of shit. | ||
| And there aren't any climate lockdowns. | ||
| But that is probably important branding to look out for in the future from the folks who are looking for a new place to put that anti-COVID lockdown energy. | ||
| Yeah, totally. | ||
| You gotta, if you can't keep the COVID, you gotta keep the lockdown. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Right. | ||
| You know, it makes sense. | ||
| And I imagine, here's the way my brain sort of like sees what's gonna happen. | ||
| It's like, it's gonna be 130 in Arizona. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Totally. | |
| And people are gonna be like, don't go outside. | ||
| Don't go outside! | ||
| Oh, we're climate lockdowning again! | ||
| If you don't go outside, then you're letting the government tell you that your skin can burn! | ||
| I predict that that'll be, like, maybe part of the rationalization of where the rubber meets the road. | ||
| Yeah, that is the problem with climate change, is that, like Barbara Walters and the Pope dying, you can be like, eh, there's gonna be 140 degree temperatures in Arizona soon. | ||
| There's a certain inevitability. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And so, you know, we don't want to sit on the distractions here. | ||
| We want to talk about the big stories. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| But what are the big stories? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good question. | |
| But to try to chronicle this year is a dizzying prospect. | ||
| What are the biggest issues of the year? | ||
| It would cost you $1.5 billion to raise. | ||
| Well, it's admitted that there is a globally coordinated, UN-controlled, mass censorship program. | ||
| Surveilling and suppressing the people of this planet to bring in incredible, draconian, authoritarian tyranny. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So that could be the top story of the year? | ||
| I mean, I would assume that is the top story of the year. | ||
| That seems to take primacy. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Well, it's the first thing you mentioned. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| I don't know if this is accurate. | ||
| Is anybody doing that? | ||
| The UN, you mean? | ||
| I mean, you know, honestly, is anybody doing that? | ||
| Even if it wasn't the UN. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That could be the top story. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| He's not saying it is. | ||
| He's sort of spitballing. | ||
| Right. | ||
| This reminded me of the lead up to who is the most important person in the world. | ||
| There's a lot of that. | ||
| There was a little bit of that vibe. | ||
| It doesn't go that far, but he does like, is this the top story of the year? | ||
| I was going to say, are we going to hear me in 45 minutes going, what is the top story? | ||
| I thought we were going to go that direction, but it's just a little bit of time. | ||
| Little tease. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| There's a giant awakening that is cascading and exploding into bigger and bigger finales. | ||
| What? | ||
| Is that the biggest story? | ||
| Is the biggest story that in the last 12 months the back has been broken to the biomedical tyranny and that it's come out that they knowingly created COVID-19 and rolled out a poison shot and now it's confirmed? | ||
| Upwards of 20 million people dead from the injections? | ||
| Or is it Russia on February 24th invading Ukraine after eight years of the West proxy war enticing Putin to take that dangerous plunge? | ||
| Wow. | ||
| on the precipice of thermonuclear war on the ladder of the Rand Corporation's escalation chart. | ||
| I'm not particularly into year-end lists trying to quantify what the biggest story of the year was. | ||
| Sure! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure! | |
| The thing that I think you could say he lands on is that there's an awakening going on is the top story. | ||
| Yeah, that sounds about right. | ||
| Hooray. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Also, none of the stuff he's saying is true. | ||
| And perhaps more importantly, these are instances of stories that Alex reported very differently at different points of the year. | ||
| COVID is basically an evergreen narrative for him where every day some new blog post or substack article finally proves all his conspiracies correct and vindicates him forever. | ||
| It's a fascinating improv game where he finds new ways to be proven right every day, forcing his audience to pretend he hadn't already been proven right yesterday. | ||
| New and different ways to be proven right about different things simultaneously. | ||
| We found the 40th smoking gun. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| So many fucking guns. | ||
| And then with Russia, Alex has had to modify his story about that invasion repeatedly over the course of the year because he kept being wrong. | ||
| Before the invasion, Alex was certain that it wasn't gonna happen, and at most, Putin was gonna annex the Donbass, which was actually Russia anyway, so he had the right to do that. | ||
| He's totally cool. | ||
| Sure, sure, no big deal. | ||
| Then, the war started, and Alex has gotten solid intel that Zelensky was a Putin double agent, and that Russia had paid off all the Ukrainian generals who would just submit, and the war would be over in a day or two. | ||
| Yeah, that one was close. | ||
| As the war dragged on and Alex was forced to come up with rationalizations for why he wasn't wrong and why Putin was right to invade, he bounced around to a bunch of different storylines, but the most popular definitely seems to be the notion that Putin got suckered into invading by the West. | ||
| In order to distract listeners from questioning how wrong Alex has been about this at every step, he constantly talks about how nuclear war is just right around the corner, so he can heighten things to a ridiculous level and be able to fall back on something like, you want to split hairs when nukes are right? | ||
| It's just a silly game. | ||
| I'm excited for a year-end review type experience here, though. | ||
| It'll be fun to hear Alex lie about everything he's done and said this year. | ||
| Unfortunately, we don't get that. | ||
| It's kind of insane. | ||
| It's a little bit like if Pitchfork ran all of their album reviews, but they just made up the albums. | ||
| They didn't actually exist. | ||
| And then in their year-end list of the top 30 albums of the year... | ||
| They just made up 30 completely different albums of, like, anagrams of the previous ones. | ||
| That's about what is happening right now. | ||
| Or even, like, in addition to that, you'd have, like, an album that they reviewed harshly at the beginning of the year, and then everyone loved it. | ||
| Everyone loved it. | ||
| Everyone else loved it, so they edited it upwards. | ||
| Holy shit, we loved it too! | ||
| I don't know what asshole was saying it sucked. | ||
| That review didn't happen. | ||
| I didn't write that. | ||
| Never heard of that one. | ||
| So, there's some severe things here to reflect upon at the end of the year. | ||
| The border is gone. | ||
| That's one of them. | ||
| Wait, already? | ||
| It's the year where they admittedly just got rid of the border completely. | ||
| It's the year Fauci, finally after 45 years, slinked away. | ||
| That's one way of putting it, yeah. | ||
| It's been a really insane year. | ||
| But we're not really about... | ||
| Focusing most of our attention on the past. | ||
| We study the past. | ||
| We cover the past. | ||
| We cover how the lines of history intersect together and bring us to where we are currently. | ||
| But more importantly, InfoWars is known for looking into the future and predicting what is going to come in the days and weeks and months and years ahead and how we are not just... | ||
| Pawns on the chessboard that don't have any will, but we can decide to be major players in the destiny of humanity. | ||
| And God's great plan for us will simply accept the mission. | ||
| We're about to find out what the secret of 2017 is, my man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, God. | |
| We're gonna get to it, finally. | ||
| Is it Megyn Kelly? | ||
| It is. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| InfoWars is not about looking backwards. | ||
| It's about predicting the future. | ||
| Our breaking news story is three years old, however. | ||
| I will admit that. | ||
| We have just broken a story published three years ago in the New York Times, so there is that. | ||
| Yeah, this is silly, but it's a fun way to look at yourself, and I understand why Alex's self-perception would be this. | ||
| Yeah, it's way more fun. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So we have basically this as the preamble, the beginning of the show, talking about what is the top story of the year? | ||
| Maybe it's this, maybe it's that. | ||
| Could be anything. | ||
| The border is gone. | ||
| Fauci slunk off or retired. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| There's a few different ways of putting the same thing. | ||
| But really, what ends up taking up the most of the beginning of the show is just long talk about how you gotta give Alex money. | ||
| But we need to now look at the nuts and bolts of their programs that have gone from beta into operational. | ||
| So we're going to do that first after I mention some of what's coming up after that. | ||
| And then we're going to continue on here today. | ||
| But please remember, this is a very special thing that was built by God's providence and inspiration and by millions and millions of people spreading the word. | ||
| And telling the truth and supporting this broadcast, and it is reviled and hated by the enemies of the people, by the corporate press, by the corrupt law firms, by the corrupt governments, by the out-of-control, power-hungry corporations and intelligence agencies. | ||
| They know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And one little podcast out of Chicago. | |
| That InfoWars has been the most important nexus point. | ||
| What? | ||
|
unidentified
|
intensifies, our light will also stand out even stronger. | |
| And that's why they want that light snuffed out immediately. | ||
| And that's why you have to let it burn into your brain, burn into your psyche, burn into your guts. | ||
| You should have, Wait Chills going up your spine Realizing How important you are. | ||
| In just the last 48 hours, InfoWars has had the largest brute force attack in our history. | ||
| It was 200 plus million yesterday morning. | ||
| The brute force attacks went up to 2 billion requests. | ||
| There's only 8 billion people on the planet. | ||
| And you would look at the attack and say, well, it's a primitive attack, but it's not. | ||
| Millions of computers hijacked by thousands of operatives. | ||

|
We know what a bot network is. | |
| It's 2023 now. | ||
| Everyone knows what a bot network is. | ||
| To then flood Infowars with two, that was as of this morning. | ||
| It's a DDoS attack, please. | ||
| Two billion. | ||
| Finish. | ||
| Request. | ||
| A sentence. | ||
| And of course they weren't targeting Infowars.com. | ||
| They were targeting InfoWarsStore.com. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Those bastards! | |
| InfoWarsStore.com. | ||
| Now, the security's there. | ||
| The site is awesome. | ||
| Your purchases are completely safe. | ||
| They haven't gotten into the website. | ||
| They're not trying to get into the website. | ||
| Why would you think that? | ||
| We have maximum security on it. | ||
| Some of the biggest firms in the world. | ||
| They're just flooding it so that no matter how big the servers or how big the cloud... | ||
| It gets overwhelmed by 2 billion requests. | ||
| We're talking millions of requests every few minutes. | ||
| Don't you get it? | ||
| They can't handle the idea that you would give Alex money. | ||
| They can't handle the idea that people would support Alex and his bright light shining in the darkness. | ||
| And so they do these massive DDoS attacks on the store. | ||
| Not on the actual website. | ||
| On the store, they gotta take out the store. | ||
| And the only way to fight back against that is go to the store and buy all the shit. | ||
| Go to the store and buy more stuff. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And... | ||
| Two billion? | ||
| This DDoS attack? | ||
| Something that sophisticated has got to be a state actor. | ||
| Probably the UN. | ||
| Like, I have no idea why anyone... | ||
| Would think that the Infowars store is safe with their information. | ||
| This year we've had a million different massive corporations hacked and like millions of passwords and information released all over the place. | ||
| Why would Infowars have better security than any of them? | ||
| Well, I mean, look, I think you judge some of that stuff by like surrounding context. | ||
| You know, like you see Infowars and you're like, this is a tight ship. | ||
| This is the kind of place that, you know, crosses their T's, dots their I's. | ||
| They're on top of shit. | ||
| If there's one thing I think about when I think Info Horse, I think detail. | ||
| I don't think I would trust them with a dummy address. | ||
| No, absolutely. | ||
| No, I'd be worried. | ||
| I'd be worried they'd find some way to get my real address just by looking at it. | ||
| If I opened a completely clean new email address, I don't think I would trust them with it. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| None of my information attached to it. | ||
| But yeah, so they had this DDoS attack. | ||
| But it's resolved now, so you can go and give Alex money. | ||
| You can go buy his shit now. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You can go to the store. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| He does this a lot. | ||
| I mean, like... | ||
| Maybe there was a DDoS attack of some sort. | ||
| I'm not sure about the 2 billion number. | ||
| That seems excessive. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But, yeah, I mean, he has this a bit. | ||
| I mean, I think he just has bad security. | ||
| Yeah, that sounds about right. | ||
| Bad cloudflare protection or whatever. | ||
| I mean, I'm fine with that. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| So there's some sales going on, of course. | ||
| One of them is something that I thought was sold out like six months ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Think about how important that is, that the enemies of freedom are... | ||
| Desperate to block you from going to InfoWarsStore.com and getting great products that boost your immune system, empower your life, and make you healthier and wealthier and wiser. | ||
| It's so important for you and your family and everybody to get them. | ||
| And while you're there, get a signed or unsigned copy of my book, The Great Reset for the World that is the Death Star Plans of the Globalist. | ||
| By the way, we have a fundraiser going where you can buy the regular book for 20-something bucks, hardcover. | ||
| And support the broadcast. | ||
| If you really want to support us, we're selling signed copies for $99. | ||
| Just like NPR gets billions of taxpayer money a year, but they still do fundraisers and drives. | ||
| We don't get taxpayer money or any globalist money. | ||
| We have you supporting us. | ||
| And so they'll sell a coffee cup for $50 or a t-shirt for $100 or a ball cap for $50. | ||
| And of course, you know the ball cap didn't cost that. | ||
| You know the coffee mug didn't cost that. | ||
| It's a token. | ||
| You know, a sign that you were supportive at a key juncture and a piece of history. | ||
| Look, I'm the most critical person of Alex in the world and of his business practices. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Even I have zero problem with him selling autographed books at a markup. | ||
| I have no idea why he feels the need to be defensive about this. | ||
| Maybe it's because there's a ridiculous level of price increase, but he's entitled to put a price on his time, and if he wants to say that it's 70 bucks for him to sign a book, that's his right to do so. | ||
| I have no problem with that. | ||
| I mean, I have a paperback of Douglas Adams' The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul, and I have a hardcover signed edition of The Long Dark Tea Time with the Soul. | ||
| I'll tell you what, I think one of them is worth more money. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| If they were being sold, you would expect one of them to cost more. | ||
| Incidentally, back when that book came out, Alex signed thousands of copies and wouldn't stop talking about how difficult it was and how they were all sold out. | ||
| That was supposed to be a limited availability thing, like his dumb silver coins, but I guess either they weren't sold out or there isn't a finite number of these signed books after all. | ||
| Just trying to exploit the audience's fear of missing out on the opportunity to own a piece of history by creating artificial scarcity among this shit. | ||
| Just sign the books and sell them, you asshole. | ||
| You know, the thing about the stakes for him is that all of these sales pitches have the, like, Depth of gravitas. | ||
| Well, it's an emergency broadcast. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Of your St. Crispin's Day speech. | ||
| But nobody's like, oh, when they're laying in their beds, won't they wish they had a signed copy of the info? | ||
| You know, it's like, this is not good. | ||
| This is not good. | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| And Alex has this habit of undercutting some of these sales pitches. | ||
| Because he's saying, like, you gotta get this signed copy of the book. | ||
| But why would you do that once you hear this? | ||
| We're gonna have signed books for two more weeks, and then there will no longer be any more signed books of The Great Reset and The War for the World, except for one limited edition that I'm gonna put out sometime in the future where I'm gonna do a piece of original Alex Jones art. | ||
| And sign it and put it inside each book. | ||
| I don't know when I'm going to get around to that. | ||
| I want to. | ||
| People have requested that. | ||
| So there will be a limited number sometime in the future, a few thousand copies that will be signed with art. | ||
| And then that's it. | ||
| No more signed copies of The Great Reset and The War of the World. | ||
| So if you want a signed copy... | ||
| It's one of your last chances. | ||
| If you're thinking about buying a signed copy, you'd obviously rather have the copy with some art in it. | ||
| Yeah, right. | ||
| Alex does that S that everyone drew on their folders. | ||
| That's the art that he puts in there. | ||
| Yeah, I feel like that's an anti-sales pitch. | ||
| Like, I'll wait. | ||
| If I'm going to buy a copy of the book, I'll wait until you draw something on it. | ||
| Buy this thing now, but it'd be better if you bought it later for different. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| Why not buy it now and also buy it later? | ||
| But actually the one that's more valuable is the one you buy later. | ||
| I got this paint-by-numbers kit of Hitler's dogs. | ||
| You know, all of his dog paintings. | ||
| So I'm going to put one of those and I'm going to sign it. | ||
| Alex Jones! | ||
| In each one of my books. | ||
| Wait, that doesn't sound right. | ||
| It'll be valuable. | ||
| Would be. | ||
| So Alex, you know, eventually he's going to put some art in these books. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Eventually that's going to happen, but he doesn't get, you know, he has these projects that he doesn't get done. | ||
| It happens. | ||
| And in this clip he discusses another project that he's going to get done, which I'm going to say he's never going to get done. | ||
| This is your last chance to get it until that final offering comes out six months from now, or God knows when, I'm so busy. | ||
| All our projects are six months to a year behind. | ||
| We have three or four big projects that are beyond nine months pregnant. | ||
| We'll be getting done very, very soon. | ||
| I'm not complaining. | ||
| This is a total war. | ||
| I'm always putting out other fires and attacks where they distract me away from my main work, getting the information out. | ||
| And so I apologize to listeners that some of the projects we had planned to already be launched six, seven, eight months ago have not gotten launched. | ||
| Reset wars. | ||
| And that includes people that are founding member, bought coins from 1776coin.com. | ||
| You're going to be getting all sorts of free deals and perks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| You've already gotten emails with 50% off specials that nobody else gets. | ||
| There's going to be a lot of other stuff, I'm going to leave it at that, that you're going to be getting exclusively for free because you are a 1776 founding member coin purchaser. | ||
| So, we want to support the broadcast. | ||
| The fourth coin that really wasn't a founding member coin, it was a one-off we did at the Teddy Roosevelt Man of the Arena. | ||
| There's a couple thousand of those coins left. | ||
| We're going to give founding member status to everybody that leaves their email there as well. | ||
| That wants to be sent information and material. | ||
| I mean, I'll just go ahead and tell you, I've been planning this for over a year. | ||
| That doesn't sound true. | ||
| And I am going to start some commercial-free podcasts that are on a subscription site. | ||
| I'm sorry, what? | ||
| Documentaries and special events and a bunch of other stuff. | ||
| It's all built. | ||
| It's all ready. | ||
| I just have not gone and started producing the media yet and the information, but a lot of really cool stuff. | ||
| That's going to be done. | ||
| And everybody that's a founding member... | ||
| It's just going to be sent a free lifetime passcode to it. | ||
| Stuff like that. | ||
| This isn't going to work. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Why make a subscription site? | ||
| Like, the problem isn't, like, man, Alex doesn't put out enough content. | ||
| Yeah, that is not the problem. | ||
| That's not a problem that anybody has. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| He can't fill his shows. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| His shows are boring as shit. | ||
| He doesn't have enough content. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Why is he putting out more non-content? | ||
| It's mostly rambling. | ||
| It's like, ah, the good stuff will be behind this paywall. | ||
| Furthermore, furthermore. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, there's no ad breaks because the whole thing is an ad. | ||
| It's all an ad. | ||
| The whole show is an ad. | ||
| It's all one big ad. | ||
| Right, and a commercial-free podcast that's behind a paywall is like, if you put commercials in the thing that was behind a paywall, you're an asshole. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| So it better be commercial-free if it's behind some kind of subscription service. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| But make no mistake, he's still going to have commercials for his shit. | ||
| Oh, of course. | ||
| In the stuff that's behind a paywall. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, naturally. | ||
| This is silly. | ||
| I mean, look, we have the constant talk of, you know, there's going to be this show of all callers that's going to be coming out. | ||
| This is just, I don't know, infrastructure's there? | ||
| Great. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Doesn't sound like it. | ||
| Talent isn't there. | ||
| No. | ||
| And this is a step backwards. | ||
| Honestly, like, he used to have the Prison Planet TV thing that was the subscription service that, like, had a lot of the video content in it and what have you. | ||
| This is a move back to his old model that clearly wasn't, like, enough or didn't work in a way that this... | ||
| Excessive sales shit does. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| It's just going to be chasing after diminishing returns, even if he follows through with it, which I don't think he will. | ||
| No, I mean, if he follows through with it, the only other smart thing to do is wind everything else down. | ||
| You know, that's what you would have to do in this situation, because he's not going to come back. | ||
| But that's antithetical to the way that he presents himself as he wants to get all the information out. | ||
| Can't wind down. | ||
| If you want to get the information out, and you want to, like... | ||
| Have a awakening among the masses, then your shit shouldn't be behind a paywall. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because then you're selecting for who has access to that information. | ||
| And that's just, um... | ||
| People with enough money and a lack of intelligence enough to... | ||
| Spend it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I feel like this is bad for him from a sort of subtle messaging perspective. | ||
| True. | ||
| And it's also bad from a financial perspective because no one is interested in that. | ||
| And if the people who bought the founding member coins are going to get free subscriptions to this anyway, those are the people who would have bought the subscription. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So there's nothing here. | ||
| You've already cut your entire listener base down. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| To size. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And not just that, but I mean, everybody can see with the way that this is going how desperate sounding it is. | ||
| Like, hey, if you were a 1776 founding member, like, here's the thing about founding member stuff. | ||
| If you were a founding member and then they're like, and also, now we're going to give founding member status to all these other people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| You're like... | ||
| Okay, so it doesn't really mean anything, does it? | ||
| I don't feel that special about the thing that I did that was special. | ||
| The thing supposed to make me feel special, you have now removed the one thing that it does. | ||
| Yeah, this members-only jacket is not for members! | ||
| Yeah, it's not very members-only! | ||
| Anymore, is it? | ||
| These flaps are stupid. | ||
| Yeah, it's a little disrespectful to the people who founded. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it sucks because it is clearly the last-ditch effort they have at creativity towards finding new revenue streams. | ||
| I mean, this year has seen a bit of that. | ||
| Reset Wars was an interesting swing. | ||
| They keep swinging for more money. | ||
| They never knew why they were successful in the first place, so they don't know why any of their ideas aren't working now. | ||
| But here's the ultimate irony, is that Prison Planet TV, when Alex was doing that, was successful. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That, if he could have kept a bit of homeostasis, if he hadn't been a greedy asshole, and he hadn't tried to constantly chase money and grow this shit to a point where his overhead is ridiculous, if he hadn't done that, if he didn't lust for being a celebrity and being really rich... | ||
| He would have been shockingly successful, able to do all of the information-based stuff that he ever wanted to do if he would have just kept it there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I mean, I'm not... | ||
| It's ironic. | ||
| I'm going to say this, and I'm not going to go... | ||
| I feel like it's not a new story. | ||
| The man with talent who lusted beyond his means. | ||
| I think we've got that one on lockdown. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, you know... | ||
| You'd think, considering the sheer volume of stories about just this same thing, we wouldn't be living through another example of it in present day. | ||
| Well, I mean, the shorthand. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Icarus. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It's so old. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So anyway, Alex has taken a bath on the website and everything. | ||
| That sounds right. | ||
| He's losing money. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| But I do humbly ask all the viewers and listeners to really understand that... | ||
| We're having a fundraiser right now because we're having about a $230,000, $250,000 underage each month the last six months. | ||
| That's not good. | ||
| And I put in all my savings, everything, all my money's gone. | ||
| I have, like, I think I'm $50,000 in my private bank account now. | ||
| I don't have any extra bank accounts. | ||
| I don't have trust or anything. | ||
| You have a trust in your name. | ||
| The AEJ Trust. | ||
| The trust is in public and things like that. | ||
| And my children. | ||
| I put like $200,000 in their accounts when they were kids and they've now grown up and they've gotten that money. | ||
| So I'm just telling you, there's nothing there. | ||
| And I understand you'd be happy if I was wealthy and had a bunch of stuff and that'd be fine with you. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| But I'm just telling you, when I tell you that I'm on E, on my children, which I don't like to do, but on my children, and before God, I have put 98% Of my resources, other than my home, into this fight. | ||
| And that's it. | ||
| I'm totally committed. | ||
| And what's so frustrating is we're right there. | ||
| I mean, two hundred and something thousand dollars with an audience this big is not hard. | ||
| I mean, look, $200,000 a month or whatever in the underage is bad. | ||
| That's not good. | ||
| Because I would assume that's factoring in all of the sales and everything that he's bringing in. | ||
| Yeah, his net. | ||
| He's under. | ||
| In theory, that's what he's saying. | ||
| That is what he's saying. | ||
| And that's bad. | ||
| Yeah, that is bad. | ||
| I mean, I do appreciate whenever he throws in that one little detail as though you were already arguing. | ||
| You know, you're like, I put 98% of my stuff, except my house, of course. | ||
| Didn't he sell his house? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You said you sold your house. | ||
| I sold one of the houses. | ||
| You said you had put your house in there. | ||
| I sold one of my seven houses. | ||
| Like, of all the things you think I'm going to argue with on that list, It's going to be me being like, aha, you haven't sold your house! | ||
| He's absolutely lying about all of this, but I do like the idea that he's putting it on God and on his kids, that he's put 98% of his resources. | ||
| Now, let's find a way that this lie works. | ||
| My emotional resources? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Resources is a very specific one. | ||
| My good name. | ||
| My private bank account. | ||
| Very specific words you're using here. | ||
| I don't believe for a second he has $50,000 in his bank account. | ||
| Not even close. | ||
| Good God. | ||
| Ridiculous. | ||
| How dare you? | ||
| Also, come on. | ||
| At no point in time has anybody ever sworn on God and their children without the intent to lie about it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You just say the truth if it's true. | ||
| It's typically performative when you're lying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| That's the whole point of it. | ||
| Generally when people whip stuff like that out. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, look. | ||
| You gotta give him money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Give this guy money. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's not the Democrats, it's not the deep state that are gonna decide whether we're on air or not. | ||
| It's you. | ||
| You hold InfoWars in the palm of your hand. | ||
| You decide whether we're gonna stay on air or whether we're not gonna stay on air. | ||
| So, I know a lot of you are supporting and I thank you and I appreciate you. | ||
| But all these people have been on the fence over the years. | ||
| Or maybe you ordered something a long time ago and liked it or whatever, but you're too busy. | ||
| And well, you already know about the New World Order. | ||
| And so maybe you think InfoWars has served its purpose. | ||
| And if that's the case, then I guess we will not be on the air in the future. | ||
| Because maybe I am passé. | ||
| Maybe I've been proven right so much now that... | ||
| It's time to hang up. | ||
| Yeah, that's the problem. | ||
| We have new people tuning in all the time that are waking up at record levels. | ||
| We have millions of people every week that are new listeners, millions, who are finally getting this is going on, and the blinders are coming off. | ||
| And I know we're becoming more influential in the halls of political, cultural thought than we've ever been. | ||
| If I were a listener who had tuned in for this, I think I would have turned it off by now. | ||
| I would conceivably be looking for a year-end type of show where there's some information being covered, but it's just an excessive, protracted financial whining session. | ||
| Even if you believe in Alex's narratives, this is just unacceptable as content. | ||
| It's all good and well to beg your audience for money, but at a certain point when that's all you're doing for the first half hour of your two-hour year-end show... | ||
| That's too much. | ||
| It's okay to have ads that help fund the message, but when the message is basically just the ads, what value do you offer an audience? | ||
| If I were a listener, I would probably be recognizing that this is actually a very fitting year-end show for Alex to be doing. | ||
| There's nothing unique or new about the idea of him spending way too much time complaining about his heroic financial battle, and I would be asking myself if I ever saw that changing. | ||
| Is there conceivably a time in the future when Alex isn't going to be doing this? | ||
| When he's shifted into a place where the money is fine and he can focus on actual information? | ||
| Obviously, if you're honest with yourself, you have to recognize that until he flames out, this is how things are going to be. | ||
| He's going to be an angry, passive-aggressive panhandler pretending to be fighting imaginary supervillains. | ||
| When you look back on his career, you have to ask yourself why he even needs money. | ||
| He did his most influential work long before he had the supplement line, and every major event that he's been involved in past that point has been a disaster. | ||
| In the before time, he had things like Bohemian Grove, 9-11, Waco, and being the true voice of the Tea Party. | ||
| I was the real Tea Party! | ||
| I hung out with Ron Paul! | ||
| Ron Paul Revolution! | ||
| While he's been rich, he's got Trump, Pizzagate... | ||
| Defaming the head of Chobani, the Sandy Hook lies in trials, his divorce, Jade Helm. | ||
| It's all been embarrassing. | ||
| He really shouldn't have money. | ||
| I mean, it is unfortunate, but the thing that makes the most sense to me is, like, this is a behind-the-music VH1 from the 80s, you know? | ||
| He can't go back to his roots, though. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I mean, like, he's Def Leppard behind the music. | ||
| And then we're going to get to the end, and it's like, what was it all for, man? | ||
| During their meteoric rise, it was all fun and games. | ||
| And then it got dark. | ||
| Well, yeah. | ||
| I mean, I think if you take a step back and look at the sort of trajectory of his career, he is like a band that had better chops before they made the big time. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Once they made the big time... | ||
| He's Kings of Leon. | ||
| I don't know what their early stuff was like. | ||
| It was pretty good. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It was pretty good. | ||
| They did the Sex on Fire song, right? | ||
| They were the ones who did the Sex on Fire. | ||
| Their first album was like six years before that. | ||
| It was pretty good. | ||
| Sex on Fire is the metaphorical Jade Helm. | ||
| They were like a slightly more, like add a little bit of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club to the Strokes, and that would be their first album. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That makes sense to you? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Oh, damn. | ||
| I remember the strokes. | ||
| There we go! | ||
| That album was unescapable when I was in college. | ||
| It did seem to be that way. | ||
| So, we jump away from this nonsense, super long ad shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And we get into a little bit of discussion of Alex's family. | ||
| And we get a little story about his dad, how he was the smartest boy in Texas. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And the story is a little different than other times he's told in the past. | ||
| Print up flyers. | ||
| Go to the mall. | ||
| Put them on the windshields of cars. | ||
| This is how we're going to win. | ||
| Because I know this is the most effective podcast out there. | ||
| We're having the biggest effect. | ||
| And the things I talk about, I know are real, and I know are the globalist plan. | ||
| They tried to recruit my father to join the eugenics cult when he was top of his class. | ||
| In high school, my grandmother thought he was being... | ||
| They told him it was NASA. | ||
| He was part of that Eisenhower WizKid program. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And I think the stuff, when my dad was 14, they shipped an 18-wheeler with a giant ruby laser to his house in East Texas. | ||
| He had the top test scores, and that's what Eisenhower was doing. | ||
| And then it was JFK. | ||
| It was all over, and he built the laser. | ||
| And they said, that's it. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Because they didn't even give him the plans of the laser. | ||
| Really? | ||
| It was a bunch of pieces. | ||
|

Are you sure you didn't just see real genius starring Val Kilmer? | |
| From Houston and looked at the laser in operation and they hired him. | ||
| And he thought he was in a program for NASA. | ||
| He was not in a program for NASA. | ||
| And by the time he got into college, he got out of it. | ||
| So this isn't how Alex has told the story about his dad's recruitment in the past. | ||
| Every time I've heard him tell the story before, it's been that his dad was the smartest boy in Texas, so Dr. Irwin Speer tried to recruit him into the extermination project. | ||
| Speer was a professor of biology and botany at UT Austin, so it doesn't quite match up with this laser story, and his dad ended up becoming a dentist, which seems like a waste of such amazing laser talent. | ||
| Ah, I mean, it really does sound eerily similar to real genius. | ||
| Right, but it is fun. | ||
| I mean, this is how, I guess if I were a liar, I would try to, like... | ||
| Shift stuff about my being in the gifted program. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| That was them trying to recruit me. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's the farm system in triple E. It wasn't just like, oh, by a vagary of chance, I had a reading level a little bit higher than it should have been. | ||
| Or maybe I was behaviorally slightly weird, but in a non-disruptive way. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I'm not being recruited. | ||
| Maybe this guy would be better if we just let him learn too much about the Knights of the... | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| He could be a problem if we bore him. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, but I would recontextualize that as like the beginning of the globalist plot to try and bring me in. | ||
| See, that's one thing in those David Jones deposition. | ||
| Oh, I would love to just grill him on his personal history. | ||
| Like, Alex says you did this. | ||
| What did you do? | ||
| Were you the smartest boy in Texas? | ||
| Were you the smartest boy? | ||
| First question. | ||
| Were you the smartest boy in Texas? | ||
| So Alex, his dad, Made a laser. | ||
| And then, because the principal was mean, they changed the trajectory of the laser to hit his house where a lot of popcorn was waiting, and then exploded. | ||
| And then Eisenhower showed up. | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| You need a job, son! | ||
| So, that happened with his dad, and his uncle. | ||
| This is on his mom's side, I believe. | ||
| This is the Hammond uncle. | ||
| Buckley's dad was apparently a human trafficker. | ||
| Then my uncle was in Iran-Contra. | ||
| Told me about it. | ||
| It was hard rice. | ||
| You know why he got out? | ||
| The U.S. government was trafficking children out of Central America through orphanages. | ||
| He was one of the guys down there in charge of a bunch of stuff. | ||
| I'd go further. | ||
| And then these fools online, when I tell these stories on air, they go, well, they go, Jones is one of them because some of his family worked for the system. | ||
| Dr. Robert Malone is a hero. | ||
| He invented mRNA. | ||
| He's been exposing it before the shots even began. | ||
| People go, oh, he can't be trusted. | ||
| He's one of them. | ||
| Or Dr. Huff that ran EcoHealth Alliance as their vice president was their head of medical operations. | ||
| He went public and exposed everything and is probably going to send Fauci to prison. | ||
| People say, oh, we don't trust him. | ||
| He was in special operations, and he was in the military, and he had a top-secret security clearance, and yeah, and he's going public. | ||
| You judge a tree by its fruits, but none of that even matters. | ||
| You are now staring down the barrel of this thing, and you're going to have to decide whether you're going to speak out and fight back, and there's no better place to speak out and fight back than supporting InfoWars at InfoWarsStore.com. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Amazing. | |
| So go there. | ||
| And don't let these people win. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Pretty good. | ||
| Also, your uncle, if he was in charge of stuff, he was trafficking children. | ||
| I was just thinking that. | ||
| The more I think about his personal mythology of his family, the more it's like, wait, every story you tell about your family is at... | ||
| Best morally dubious. | ||
| Your family fought for the Confederacy. | ||
| And on average, your family is a destructive force for evil in this world. | ||
| Yeah, your uncle was involved in Iran-Contra and was trafficking humans. | ||
| Your dad built a laser that I assume they used for nefarious purposes. | ||
| And apparently was a so-so dentist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Which has its own after effects. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| Own negative unintended consequences. | ||
| It is very much like... | ||
| If his moral compass is shaped by what he thinks are war criminals, then yeah, I mean, I imagine this would be like, well, the only way I can justify my family being filled with murderers, child traffickers, and awful people is if there's an even worse globalist empire out there. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| That is a possibility. | ||
| In that case, there is no good in the universe. | ||
| No, there's none. | ||
| Zero. | ||
| Zero. | ||
| But also just think about the people he associates with, or the long-time people who have been in his world, like folks like... | ||
| Steve Pachenik or Larry Nichols. | ||
| These are horrible people. | ||
| Monsters. | ||
| Absolute monsters. | ||
| But they're heroes within the info war and to Alex's audience, which is sort of like how Alex looks at his family, apparently. | ||
| It's topsy-turvy. | ||
| Bunch of bad folks. | ||
| But you gotta donate. | ||
| You gotta buy Alex's shit. | ||
| You know, you know, you know. | ||
| It's going to wind up at the Infowar store. | ||
| All roads. | ||
| But sometimes the journey's just fun. | ||
| Sometimes you gotta sit back and enjoy the way you get there. | ||
| Well, I think that time was definitely one of the less predictable trips to the store. | ||
| You could be forgiven for thinking that that trip to the store was going to wind up at a different place. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So look, there's a high cost to the Infowar. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| There have been a lot of soldiers who have been lost. | ||
| Infowars is just a focal point of that resistance. | ||
| You need to know, a lot of people have made major sacrifices you don't know about to bring you this information. | ||
| I'm going to leave it at that. | ||
| I'm talking about people have died to bring you this information. | ||
| Many boffins died. | ||
| People close to me have died to bring you this information. | ||
| I've paid an extremely heavy price. | ||
| Bringing this information. | ||
| But I've done it because God's watching, and I know we can beat these people, and the children are counting on us to do this. | ||
| God's watching. | ||
| This is a test. | ||
| And if you don't do, what's right? | ||
| And if you don't stand against this, you got God to deal with. | ||
| But who died? | ||
| If you don't turn off your targeting computer and trust the force, those fucking missiles aren't going anywhere near that Death Star. | ||
| Who died? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jack Toto Porkins did! | |
| Does Alex know him? | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| So look, this is all nonsense, but we've had a bit of meandering in the beginning of this episode because this is what Alex is doing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| He chooses to end the year. | ||
| It does. | ||
| But it gets down to business. | ||
| And, like, we get what we were really looking for, which is the 2023 predictions. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| Finally! | ||
| What's coming this year? | ||
| Yes! | ||
| You are here to tell us the future! | ||
| Tomorrow's news today! | ||
| I'm sticking this year-end wrap-up shit! | ||
| This is why you show up. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I tried to write notes last night and this morning of what I predict's gonna happen next year. | ||
| And it's such a big subject. | ||
| And it's so hardcore. | ||
| And it is... | ||
| so nightmarish. | ||
| It's such a big subject that I don't even feel worthy of telling you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, God. | |
| Not one of these again. | ||
| Not one of these again. | ||
| It's so important. | ||
| I don't want to make a mistake. | ||
| This is an emergency broadcast that you're filling time. | ||
| I really, really, really need to lock myself in a dark room for about six, seven hours. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
With a little math light on with a pad of paper. | |
| And I really need to... | ||
| Look at all the information and then try to put the pieces together and look into the future. | ||
| Because I've already got a really good idea of the stuff they're going to pull. | ||
| Tell us that then. | ||
| That zone, which I haven't been able to get into in the last few weeks. | ||
| I get in this zone where it's like all the pieces, the equations there, and I can see exactly what they're going to do and then the different projects they've got and then how we can stop them. | ||
| With critical information. | ||
| I guess we're not getting those predictions. | ||
| Yeah, I doubt that. | ||
| Because Alex has got to go in a dark room for six hours. | ||
| Strongly doubt we're going to get Alex in a dark room. | ||
| I've got to go trip balls in a room by myself so I can see the future. | ||
| I've got to go pretend I'm developing photographs I'll never take. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| With a map light on. | ||
| With a map light. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| Yeah, I do love your reaction there because it is. | ||
| It's like, oh God, this again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, not these. | |
| Whenever he says, it's so nightmarish. | ||
| I'm not even worthy to deliver this. | ||
| It's code for, I got nothing. | ||
| I got nothing. | ||
| I got nothing. | ||
| I'm going to fill some time. | ||
| It's also code for there's every reason why I should have something. | ||
| Totally should. | ||
| There's an expectation that I would have this prepared. | ||
| Here's what you're expecting from me. | ||
| And I would give it to you, but I don't have it. | ||
| So let me tell you about how hard I tried to get it. | ||
| And I'm being modest. | ||
| I'm being responsible by saying I can't cover this right now. | ||
| I am but a mortal vessel for this information that is so important. | ||
| It's because it's supernatural. | ||
| If I could be supernatural, I would have been able to achieve it. | ||
| However, it's a goal that is only achievable by the supernatural. | ||
| Right, so I'm gonna go lock myself in a room. | ||
| That's what I gotta do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A dark room. | |
| It does get more supernatural than that. | ||
| So, failing to get to these predictions, at least we can cover the news. | ||
| Can we? | ||
| I mean, look, it's a little bit of a second place consolation prize. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not good. | |
| Let me do this. | ||
| Let me move on from that now into the news. | ||
| But when I tell you that we are in your hands and that it's your decision whether we stay on air or not, that's the truth. | ||
| I'm asking you to really think about the fact, is there really a question of whether or not you're going to support the broadcast? | ||
| I mean, really? | ||
| You want to give up to these people? | ||
| Because that's what it is. | ||
| I guess we're not getting to the news. | ||
| We're going to talk more about ads. | ||
| We are pushing a little bit too hard here. | ||
| This is a little pushy. | ||
| If I were on the fence, this sales pitch is making me want to stay away from that fence. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's going to try and get you in a timeshare. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Really? | ||
| You're not going to give to me? | ||
| What? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Do you not know? | ||
| You're going to have God to answer to. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Oh, great. | ||
| So anyway, we're not going to get to the news. | ||
| Instead, we're going to get fucking so weird. | ||
| This show gets weird. | ||
| That's how energy works. | ||
| Your brain is a giant electrochemical transceiver that receives and transmits. | ||
| And let me tell you, you can dial your brain to any channel you want right now. | ||
| With my free will, I can dial to the Satan channel in two seconds. | ||
| I can go into that bathroom in there. | ||
| And look right into my eyes for about two seconds and decide to let something else jump right into me in the driver's seat. | ||
| And something could absolutely tear people's arms out of their sockets. | ||
| That thing could give me all sorts of evil inclination and understanding, but only how to hurt people. | ||
| And so when you look at the New World Order and Bill Gates and people like Fauci, let me tell you, folks. | ||
| There is a system of anti-God, anti-human inside that body that's running that body, and that's a biological android with one mission, and that is to humiliate you and cut you off from God before they kill you. | ||
| Reminder, people you disagree with are demons. | ||
| It is not just a disagreement. | ||
| And that's all this is, is people turning the dial. | ||
| And how do you turn the dial to Satanism? | ||
| You kill people. | ||
| You hurt children. | ||
| You molest children. | ||
| How do you turn the dial to Satanism? | ||
| It breaks their DNA. | ||
| They've now confirmed in more than a hundred studies that this mRNA with a spike protein goes into the cells for generations and is passed on to the children and causes mutations. | ||
| They are turning people into mutants! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now... | |
| Don't think God didn't put a little something in us that'll deal with that. | ||
| What? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| No weapon formed against us will prosper. | ||
| What? | ||
| But it is electrochemical and it's a transmission. | ||
| So we need to turn the dial to the Holy Spirit, the big broadcast, and obviously if you've been turning the dial the other way, you're not going to want to turn the dial. | ||
| It's not going to feel too good to turn the dial towards God. | ||
| What? | ||
| But if you don't want to be cut off, From the creator of the universe forever and be with these things who have free will and decided to be these things, then you better take that dial and you better turn it to God and you better then put a sledgehammer and break that dial off where you can't even turn the damn dial. | ||
| And I finally got to that point in the last few years where I did not even turn on the Satan dial. | ||
| Wow, what progress. | ||
| He's making this progress. | ||
| You know, when I was little, When I was like 9 or 10, the pastor at our church, he had me hooked. | ||
| I thought he was very smart because he was really well-read and he could quote all the stuff right, you know, do the whole thing. | ||
| And then I went to the youth group for the first time and the youth guy was trying to do the exact same thing. | ||
| But because he sucked at it, he accidentally revealed all the bullshit, right? | ||
| That feels so much like a youth group speech of like... | ||
| Listen, you're not ready for the pulpit, buddy. | ||
| You gotta stay in the gym with a bunch of kids around you playing the guitar. | ||
| I know all your friends are telling you that hyperventilating a bunch is really cool, but then a devil will come in. | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| Oh, whoa! | ||
| You got me! | ||
| So there's three points in that clip that play together that are really weird. | ||
| And one is Alex saying at the end that he is no longer able to tap into that devil dial. | ||
| That one's weird. | ||
| Which is contradictory to the beginning part where he said he could stare at himself in the mirror and turn that off. | ||
| Anytime he wanted. | ||
| That's contradicted by him saying that in order to turn the devil dial you need to kill people or abuse children. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Apparently you could just look at yourself in the mirror. | ||
| Well, you should have tried looking at yourself in the mirror before you killed that child. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Seems unnecessary. | ||
| Either that or Alex is revealing that he has killed a bunch of people and that is why at any time he wants he can turn it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Click, click, click, click. | |
| Exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
| You know, he's already turned the devil dial. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| That might be. | ||
| So he can do whatever. | ||
| He's a day walker. | ||
| I mean, again, the more he talks about how he's morally righteous, the less it sounds like he understands what morality is. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think he does at all. | ||
| No, I don't think so either. | ||
| Also, I think that Alex said that God has a thing that helps with the mutants or whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| I think he said that in order to be like, hey, you don't... | ||
| Otherwise, the answer is go kill. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| Anybody who's been vaccinated, you gotta kill them. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| You know, that kind of thing. | ||
| Yeah, it's a little bit precarious, his language. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And so the, like, God has this answer or whatever is the sort of back door that you can get through. | ||
| Listen, don't hurt anybody. | ||
| Right. | ||
| There's a self-destruct button God put in there on his own. | ||
| You can just hate them forever and give me money. | ||
| Or you can talk to them and convince them to turn off their mutation through the Holy Spirit. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Turn that dial. | ||
| Turn the dial. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
| Oh, my God. | ||
| What a great metaphor. | ||
| So we got some more talk about dials. | ||
| This metaphor is pretty big in Alex's head today. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And I finally got to that point in the last few years where I cannot even turn on the Satan dial. | ||
| I've not even tried. | ||
| So then your dial is broken. | ||
| Anybody that has experienced it knows what I'm talking about. | ||
| Which makes you a robot. | ||
| I don't even think I've got that switch anymore. | ||
| And that's a good thing. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| Rearview mirror. | ||
| You can't even see it anymore. | ||
| Oh, bye-bye, Satan. | ||
| Get behind me. | ||
| Not in accordance with what you believe. | ||
| Get behind me. | ||
| That's actually a bad thing. | ||
| I got a mission. | ||
| I'm going someplace. | ||
| I'm on a path. | ||
| I'm on a trajectory. | ||
| I want to get in line with the Holy Spirit and then move to the future. | ||
| I want to be teleported to the next dimension. | ||
| Oh, yes. | ||
| I was like, oh, you want that? | ||
| Here, have that. | ||
| And I'm right there right now. | ||
| Just, oh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow! | |
| I just feel the presence of God right now. | ||
| Unbelievable. | ||
| Speechless in the face of God. | ||
| Here, I love you! | ||
| Come to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Come to me. | |
| Yeah, I just see, I just turn the dial. | ||
| To see, my dial's not turned all the way to God. | ||
| The more I stand up against evil, the more I go through persecution, the more I can turn the dial. | ||
| And then it becomes a good thing. | ||
| The more I'm attacked, the more I'm lied about. | ||
| The dial keeps turning further and further and further. | ||
| I keep getting stronger. | ||
| Sure, my body looks weaker, but it's just a vessel and its sign of its vigor and its pain is a symbol of the strength. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| I got a lot of year-end review stuff. | ||
| I want to talk about what's coming next year. | ||
| Very... | ||
| It's got to be done. | ||
| It's got to be done. | ||
| I can't procrastinate on this. | ||
| Let's do this. | ||
| Should this be on air? | ||
| The prison grid's here. | ||
| It's not coming. | ||
| It's here. | ||
| So let's play these clips back-to-back. | ||
| I played part of this one yesterday, but I want to get to the rest of it today because it was so important. | ||
| Sky News out of Australia with Ronan Dean. | ||
| Seven minutes long. | ||
| It's the best summation of what we're dealing with. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| First I want to air AJ Explains Genocide Planet five minutes from about a year ago. | ||
| About? | ||
| And then I want to play the clip from Sky. | ||
| And then I want to play clip eight. | ||
| Is this live? | ||
| Then later I'll play clip 10. Maybe you shouldn't have no commercial broadcasts if you're going to have production meetings during it as opposed to doing it. | ||
| You could have had a very brief conversation about this prior to starting your dumb show. | ||
| Have a meeting before the show starts. | ||
| That would be something. | ||
| I had a thought. | ||
| Is there a Marvel hero that gets stronger when you hit them? | ||
| Probably. | ||
| There's gotta be. | ||
| I don't know the characters well enough, but there's gotta be some super... | ||
| Probably a villain. | ||
| That seems like a villain power. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| I think one of Black Panther's powers is that if you hit his suit, it absorbs the energy, and then he can later channel it back. | ||
| That seems more like a suit thing. | ||
| It is a suit thing. | ||
| That's not, like, the power, though, right? | ||
| That's not really the power, no. | ||
| It's powerful. | ||
| There's the guy who can travel through time who, if you shoot him with lasers, he absorbs the lasers and then he has a gun. | ||
| Cable, maybe? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Something like that? | |
| You know who would be bad against him? | ||
| Who? | ||
| Alex's dad. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| He would be bad. | ||
| He's not good at lasers. | ||
| Well, I mean, he's good at lasers, thereby neutralizing his abilities. | ||
| That's all I could think about when he's talking about how all these people, they shit on me, and it makes me stronger in God's dial. | ||
| Shut up with the fucking dial. | ||
| All I could keep thinking about was at the end of this speech, I'm waiting for somebody to be like, okay, Alex, I don't think you can share at these AA meetings anymore. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Listen, we like to give it to everybody, but Alex J, is it? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I don't think you... | ||
| You can come back, but maybe for the next few weeks, don't share. | ||
| Bill W doesn't want to be friends anymore. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're acquaintances with Bill W. Oh, boy. | |
| So, Alex... | ||
| I don't know why Ted Bundy's on the mind. | ||
| Why wouldn't he be, Dan? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's lots of stories, you know, and it comes out in the court, all the details of Ted Bundy, the famous serial killer that would drive around in his yellow Volkswagen because it looked non-threatening. | ||
| And he'd see an 18-year-old woman coming out of the mall after work, and he'd say, hey, you wear a nice suit? | ||
| Hey, let's go get a coffee and have dinner. | ||
| What's your name? | ||
| I think you're really nice. | ||
| Oh, I'm a medical student. | ||
| Why don't we go over here to McDonald's? | ||
| And then... | ||
| Do we need to anthropomorphize this story? | ||
| He blocked the car doors, put a gun to their head, and say, put these handcuffs on. | ||
| Now, he finally got caught because one woman did run. | ||
| But the point is, is that all the rest of them did what he said. | ||
| And then he took them to a farmhouse in a basement and put electrical tape on them and tortured them and raped them for days until they were used up. | ||
| And as soon as they weren't begging and pleading and crying and he wasn't getting demonic power out of the har, as soon as their eyes went dead, he'd go ahead and strangle them. | ||
| He'd bite big bloody chunks out of them. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I ain't getting in the yellow Volkswagen and I ain't putting your handcuffs on. | ||
| And metaphorically, I'm going to bite your nose off, Ted. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're not going to win. | |
| We're not in here with you. | ||
| You're in here with us. | ||
| Understand? | ||
| No. | ||
| So metaphorically, New World Order, I'm going to pull your teeth out with pliers and I'm going to gouge your eyeballs out. | ||
| What? | ||
| Understand? | ||
| Then I'm going to stomp your guts out. | ||
| You like that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good. | |
| You like hurting kids? | ||
| I like hurting you. | ||
| Understand? | ||
| I mean... | ||
| So let's get serious, people. | ||
| Murder them with the truth. | ||
| Murder their credibility. | ||
| Assault them with the data. | ||
| Destroy them, and then they will rot in prison. | ||
| You're so close. | ||
| So close to getting our hands. | ||
| Around their political necks. | ||
| That mass murdering serial killer Fauci is a hundred times more evil than Ted Bundy. | ||
| Look at his eyes. | ||
| Look at his actions. | ||
| He loves killing children. | ||
| I mean, there's a... | ||
| This is grotesque and shit, but there's something that I really think about. | ||
| His show's called Info Wars, and there's this idea of there's a war of information. | ||
| So he has these violent ways of talking about information. | ||
| Naturally. | ||
| But you hear stuff like this, and you take in the way he... | ||
| No, no, It's just miring in disgusting fantasies. | ||
| And I think that's what he really gets out of it. | ||
| And I think... | ||
| Mostly emotionally what the audience connects with, too. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I mean, it is kind of emblematic of that type of relationship that toxic masculinity has to the present insofar as it cannot... | ||
| Express itself the way it used to with, you know, just indifference and impunity. | ||
| So toxic masculinity now has to tie itself to some sort of imagined justification. | ||
| So the war is all that was ever interesting. | ||
| It's just that after the war had to be combined with info, fuck it, we'll do the info war too if we have to, you know? | ||
| But this isn't like the way that the information war felt in like our 2003 episodes necessarily. | ||
| It's not spending long periods of time having a J.O. fantasy about murdering Fauci. | ||
| Yeah, that one's weird. | ||
| Yeah, but this is pretty common on his show now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| I mean, his brain has also deteriorated quite a bit. | ||
| Maybe that's another effect of those supplements. | ||
| It does seem that those two should go hand in hand. | ||
| Much like I don't trust them with my private information based on surrounding context, I would not take his supplements based on his... | ||
| Here's what I think. | ||
| Changing behavior. | ||
| I think this guy screaming about how everyone who disagrees with me, a demon, is probably someone who should give me something that I put into my body without asking questions. | ||
| Yeah, he might need less X2. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Anyway, he goes on yelling about how he wants to kill Fabio. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| He's powerful. | ||
| He's in charge. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's gonna kill you because he's God. | |
| A miserable, demonic maggot of hell. | ||
| Look at that man. | ||
| If you have any discernment, if you have any spirit of God in you, you know that is Diablo, Satan, the old serpent, the devil, right there! | ||
| That's what I'm looking at. | ||
| That's an accomplished psychopath, though, that's been doing it for 45 years and gotten away with it and thinks he's God. | ||
| He looks very tired. | ||
| He knows not to open the eyes up with the satanic look of the Ted Bundy. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| He just gives you that look of I am a psychotic and I have killed millions and I'm going to kill millions more and you're not going to stop me. | ||
| Your children are mine. | ||
| I'm going to murder them slowly. | ||
| I'm going to snake a ventilator down your grandma and not let you see her while we kill her and while we ship in COVID patients to infect her and we'll murder logic right in front of you. | ||
| Let's go to the New World Order Lockdown Prison City Reports. | ||
| We'll be back. | ||
| So this is a good clip to use as a little reminder that Alex is basically an idiot who can't even do his job anymore. | ||
| He spent the first half hour of this show begging for money and complaining about how if you don't give him money, you'll have God to answer to. | ||
| Then he spent the next half hour yelling about completely insane nonsense about tuning your brain to God or Satan frequencies and then rambling grotesque fantasies about torturing and killing his imaginary enemies. | ||
| After that, he throws it to reports produced by other people. | ||
| This highlights perfectly what Alex is good for. | ||
| He's a really effective con man in terms of sucking money out of people he's already convinced to enter his revenue stream, and he's better than most at improvising violence fantasies. | ||
| He doesn't have the shame that most people have, which would stop them from descending into these disgusting diatribes about what they want to metaphorically do to their enemies. | ||
| Most people would find that embarrassing, but Alex has cultivated a persona where he gets away with pretending that, that's a mark of his passion sure neither of these things rely on any work no preparation is required to peel off improvised murder fantasies and alex basically has a working script for begging at this point so he could do that more or less in his sleep anything that takes work is antithetical to his present day way of doing business because alex really doesn't give a shit about this stuff past week can get out of it. | ||
| He cares about the performance of trying and the performance of caring so deeply. | ||
| But at the end of the day, it's crystal clear that he would rather spend his time off air doing anything else other than working on making a good show. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Because this sucks. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, I think the problem is maybe he used to care about the performance more. | ||
| You know, he used to care about performing to the best of his abilities, maybe, but now it seems like the performance itself is garbage, too. | ||
| It is. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Like, he doesn't even... | ||
| It's over the top. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's unbelievable. | ||
| Transparent. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| I feel like he used to be a better actor, at least. | ||
| There was some... | ||
| I think that this is a... | ||
| Heightening of his wanting to other and demonize his political enemies and the people that he disagrees with. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I mean, ironically, it is more acceptable to literally demonize your opponents than it is to metaphorically demonize your opponents. | ||
| I mean, look, it's trash. | ||
| It's just trash. | ||
| It's just trash. | ||
| It's unlistenable garbage. | ||
| It more or less is. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Except for, like, little funny moments, like, I'm gonna do these predictions, and then, uh, maybe not. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Um, I would just say that he should try. | ||
| He should maybe try. | ||
| Um, I know that he is averse to that, but I, I, you know, when you're saying that, like, the performance is worse now, I think what it comes down to is that Previously, at earlier points in his career, he didn't have anything. | ||
| He didn't have, like, an empire. | ||
| He didn't have this stuff. | ||
| You're funnier when you ride the bus. | ||
| That old Sinbad quote of, like, you're funnier when you ride the bus. | ||
| Sum it up that way. | ||
| Yeah, when you're flying around in a plane, you're not as funny. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And when you can have your own private jet, you're not really all that convincing as a populist propagandist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| It's a little bit thin. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| This kind of bullshit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So anyway, Alex plays a bunch of... | ||
| Special reports. | ||
| And then he comes back with this. | ||
| All right, I'm just going to go about another 30 minutes or so in this special year-end emergency broadcast. | ||
| It'll be streamed out until 4 p.m. tomorrow when we do the Sunday show, 4 to 6 p.m. | ||
| Then Owen's back in 6 to 8. I mean... | ||
| To me, what is most emblematic of what's going on here is just that it's you who's going to decide whether Infowar stays on air or not. | ||
| When he says that, that's such a fatalist viewpoint. | ||
| Well, he does that a lot, though. | ||
| And it is true, in a sense. | ||
| It is going to be whether or not the audience responds to that. | ||
| Only you can stop forest fires, and only you can give me money. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| But at the same time... | ||
| You need to project the idea that you are doing something to earn that money. | ||
| And he's not doing that. | ||
| It would be good. | ||
| Yeah, justify your existence. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Why is this investment worth making? | ||
| That's so good. | ||
| That's kind of more what I'm feeling lately. | ||
| He used to at least try to make the pitches worth it. | ||
| He's justifying... | ||
| that you would give him money and now it's just give me money. | ||
| Well, yeah. | ||
| You know, even though he's... | ||
| But I was kind of thinking about that and I think that is one level of looking at it. | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I think I think That's wrong, sort of. | |
| It is correct if you look at it... | ||
| No, I'm fine with wrong, sort of. | ||
| It's correct if you look at it from a perspective of trying to deliver information, and even if the information's wrong, or stories and stuff like that, then, yeah, he's doing essentially nothing to earn the investment. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But if you look at it, it's no longer really Infowars, it's feelings wars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| If you look at it that way, then... | ||
| He is doing something to elicit the donation and the investment, which is creating bizarre emotional stimulus for the audience to react to. | ||
| You know, I just watched, because I think you have a really, really good point, I just watched His Dark Materials with my wife, and the largest issue with that is that... | ||
| It is emotionally manipulative. | ||
| It's not actually good or bad or anything like that. | ||
| It knows the ways to make you feel something without having earned it. | ||
| Yeah, it's poking. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's kind of more... | ||
| And I think that there is something that an audience finds gratifying about that emotional manipulation, whether or not it's conscious. | ||
| People like a roller coaster. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know, you go up and down. | ||
| It's not like you won anything. | ||
| Great. | ||
| I mean, you're not going to get... | ||
| From other media outlets, somebody screaming at you about how you buying vitamins from them is fighting the devil. | ||
| You're just not. | ||
| And that is, in some ways, kind of cathartic. | ||
| You can't say it's not. | ||
| Otherwise, we wouldn't be here if there wasn't something about it. | ||
| Yeah, and I think that that might be part of what is unsatisfying about a lot of his present-day stuff. | ||
| It's just like, what do you do with that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's just making... | ||
| The audience feel things, I guess. | ||
| Yeah, what is there to talk about if what you're really doing is just going, hey you, feel like this. | ||
| Hey you, feel like this. | ||
| Hey you, feel like this. | ||
| It's a little bit less meaningful. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anyway, Alex talks about how he gauges some of this. | ||
| There's some victory going on. | ||
| And I would say that this is a bad way to gauge things. | ||
| That sounds right. | ||
| It's out of control for the New World Order. | ||
| I mean, they are in trouble. | ||
| I remember about a year and a half ago, Joe Rogan put a clip of myself on his show out whenever the media was saying, Bill Gates never said 80% of people in studies of this vaccine get sick. | ||
| Alex Jones is a liar. | ||
| Well, Bill Gates just said it himself. | ||
| So Joe Rogan showed that clip. | ||
| And it got more than 10 million views on his Instagram and 99 plus percent. | ||
| I mean, you would read 300 comments. | ||
| I spent hours several times looking at it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
News articles written about it. | |
| I mean, probably 99.9% of the comments were, we know you're a eugenicist. | ||
| We know you want to kill us. | ||
| We know about the New World Order. | ||
| We know about your dad in Planned Parenthood. | ||
| We know about this clip, that clip, and just that. | ||
| Video that had over 10 million views last time I looked at it had something like a million comments. | ||
| And I've read thousands of them. | ||
| And it was just all exposed in the world order. | ||
| And that's just a snapshot, folks. | ||
| It's now like that everywhere. | ||
| So there's your AI. | ||
| There's your censorship boards. | ||
| There's your CIA. | ||
| There's you all trying to silence us. | ||
| It didn't work, scum. | ||
| We kicked your ass in this round. | ||
| Yeah, you killed a lot of people. | ||
| Yeah, you maimed a lot of people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, what? | |
| Yeah, you made hundreds of billions of dollars. | ||
| Yeah, you're regrouping to do it again. | ||
| But you just found out we're not as easy to run over as you thought we were. | ||
| It's because of comments on a... | ||
| Am I? | ||
| What? | ||
| Am I hearing that correctly? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I mean, who cares about these comments, first of all? | ||
| And then, second of all, I don't believe him, but let's pretend he's telling the truth. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| He spent hours reading these comments? | ||
| That's a serious problem. | ||
| Do other stuff. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| This is not a useful... | ||
| That's not a respectable way to use your time if you're Alex Jones. | ||
| You know what I've thought. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I've long thought. | |
| Do a little bit of show prep that isn't just reading comments on fucking social media. | ||
| Grow up. | ||
| I think he's on to something here. | ||
| I think it's time we replace democracy with... | ||
| Governance by YouTube comment. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Like, however many, like, plus, minus, whatever it is you need. | ||
| It's an ungameable system. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, boy. | |
| Oh, man. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| But I do like these ways that he gauges things. | ||
| Like, in the past, you had... | ||
| Randomly coming up with numbers about how effective his tapes are. | ||
| 85-90% effective. | ||
| And now we have skimming through comments on a social media post. | ||
| These comments are as good for me as a condom. | ||
| 99.9% effective. | ||
| So we're going to get to these future predictions. | ||
| Because he's at that time. | ||
| He's playing special reports. | ||
| So let's get to it, man. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I think what I'm going to do is this. | ||
| And I'm not copping out here. | ||
| And I'm not trying to have suspense here so you tune in tomorrow or tune in Monday. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But... | |
| You're going to have to tune in tomorrow. | ||
| I'm going to have to call my wife today. | ||
| I need to go lock myself in my office and get on the computer. | ||
| I'm better with a pad and paper. | ||
| And I really need to predict what's going to happen next year if we don't stand up and what the different probabilities and possibilities are. | ||
| Honey, I'm not coming home. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I've got to lock myself in my office to see the future. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| In my other jobs, you know, when I was doing another job, me going like, hey, listen, you know what? | ||
| You're right. | ||
| I've got to buckle down. | ||
| I'm going to handle that. | ||
| I don't want to make you wait until tomorrow, so I'm going to work all night for it. | ||
| I'll get it to you tomorrow. | ||
| And that's fine. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Because I'm not on air. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Yep. | ||
| Well, I mean, look, debatably. | ||
| Debatably. | ||
| A year predictions. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| That could be on the 31st of December or January 1st. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| It's appropriate for either. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Now, when you're doing an emergency December 31st episode and you keep bringing up predictions for the future. | ||
| Emergency carries a lot. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You'd think that it would be in there, but no. | ||
| He's going to tell his wife he ain't coming home. | ||
| But actually, it goes... | ||
| Actually, I'm going to get out of here, guys. | ||
| He has another plan. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You know, I'm going to do something even bigger. | ||
| Sure, what's that? | ||
| I'm going to take off. | ||
| I'm going to leave! | ||
| I was right! | ||
| I'm going to take off. | ||
| I don't know if it's going to be a day or five days or what. | ||
| And I am going to go to the country. | ||
| I'm going to go to the mountains. | ||
| Because nothing makes you think clearer than hiking 5,000 feet up a mountain. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jar Jar Binks! | |
| I'm going to go to the wilderness. | ||
| I'm going to go to the mountain. | ||
| Like Hanshan. | ||
| When I'm ready, I'm going to come back and lay out what's going to happen next year. | ||
| Oh my God. | ||
| I build it up because I need to build it up for myself how important this is and how I need to really focus and really get in that zone when all the pieces come together. | ||
| Sometimes it happens when you're at the gym because blood's raised through your brain or sometimes it happens when you're taking a jog or sometimes it happens when you're driving in the car. | ||
| I need to really immerse myself by myself. | ||
| By myself. | ||
| In the woods. | ||
| In the hills. | ||
| And in a cabin. | ||
| And then I'm gonna come back and I'm gonna tell you what I believe they're about to pull next and how we stop them. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| I gotta go to the woods. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Gotta go to the woods to see the future. | ||
| Now, I'm trying to work on the conversion here because I know about inflation. | ||
| So Gautama sat underneath that tree for like... | ||
| Decades, right? | ||
| He sat under there for a long, long time. | ||
| Well, it could be one day, it could be five days. | ||
| Sure, but he was coming up with a life philosophy that could last for eternity, you know? | ||
| So, just picking out a year's predictions, what's that? | ||
| Like, 30 minutes? | ||
| I mean, it depends on how good the air is. | ||
| Nah, that's a good point. | ||
| Depends on how alone he is in the woods. | ||
| Yeah, you can't get distracted by a squirrel. | ||
| I love this escalation, though. | ||
| This escalation is like, I am not worthy to deliver this information. | ||
| Alright, that's stage one. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| Stage two is... | ||
| I'm going to tell my wife I'm not coming home. | ||
| I'm going to lock myself in a dark room. | ||
| I respect that. | ||
| For six hours. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I get that. | ||
| And then, hey, you know what? | ||
| Fuck it. | ||
| I'm going to the woods. | ||
| I'm going to the woods! | ||
| And who knows how long I'm going to be there. | ||
| And I'll come back when I'm good and ready and I've seen the future. | ||
| This is home movies. | ||
| This is home movies. | ||
| There's similarities. | ||
| He's the cry walker. | ||
| He's the cry walker now. | ||
| I'm going to the woods. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'll see you in the air, assholes! | |
| So we are recording this on Sunday. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And it's actually when Alex's show is on. | ||
| And so I have it pulled up here on mute. | ||
| And it's unfortunately in a commercial, so I don't know. | ||
| So you don't know if he's back there? | ||
| Yeah, he's in the woods today. | ||
| Yes, you have to know. | ||
| So I'll give an update as soon as we get out of a commercial break to see. | ||
| I'm very excited. | ||
| Oh my god, I hope he's in the woods. | ||
| I hope he's in the woods. | ||
| We are now currently watching, or I am, because you're on the other side of the screen, but there's a CBD commercial. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alex is asking, what are we doing with life? | |
| What's happening? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it's cool now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| Alex is selling it. | ||
| There is an interesting thing I was thinking about, about how he has these things that are so important, and they don't really follow along with who his sponsors are at a particular time. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Not really. | ||
| That's not his style. | ||
| I never heard him talk about CBD in the past. | ||
| Now it's super important. | ||
| It's very important. | ||
| According to his commercials. | ||
| It's very important. | ||
| I don't hear him talk about gold that much anymore. | ||
| Which is interesting. | ||
| Here's what I'm confused about. | ||
| Before he had a supplement line, I never heard about how important X2 or iodine was. | ||
| It is strange how those things became very important once he sold them. | ||
| Yeah, it is weird. | ||
| We're now seeing a commercial of Alex in his tank yelling at people trying to cross the border. | ||
| Good, good, great. | ||
| This is weird to have on a mute. | ||
| Just seeing the visuals. | ||
| We can't be doing this simultaneously. | ||
| Alex popping out the top of a tank yelling at a bullhorn at immigrants. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oof. | |
| Dark. | ||
| You know, it makes me despair of a future. | ||
| Because when I was, you know, when we were growing up, you had those dare commercials where it's like, if you smoke weed one time, you're probably gonna kill your little sister. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know, like, you're gonna die. | ||
| Your brain's gonna be a fried egg. | ||
| And now a version of cannabinoids can be sold on the fucking corner street. | ||
| Everybody who's old used to be like, hey, if you smoke weed, you've got to go to jail for the rest of your life. | ||
| They're popping gummies left and right. | ||
| And at no point in time is anybody going like, well, here's what we're not going to do. | ||
| This all over again. | ||
| Let's just stop this. | ||
| Let's get rid of this criminalizing drug shit. | ||
| We've been there so many times. | ||
| It's very unfortunate. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I get distracted because Alex is at a creek. | ||
| Reset Wars? | ||
| No, he's not in the creek. | ||
| Oh, well then, what's the point? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Alright, we're coming back from break. | ||
| We're coming back from break. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| Do you think it's gonna be Alex? | ||
| He's not in the woods. | ||
| I don't know if it's gonna be him. | ||
| Are we in the third hour? | ||
| Are we in the fourth hour? | ||
| He does the whole show on Sundays himself, because it's only two hours, so there's no guest host. | ||
| Gotcha. | ||
| See, here's the thing. | ||
| I could see him being there because he talks a lot of shit, but I could also see him being gone because all it requires is him to leave. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And not working is something he loves. | ||
| He prefers the latter to the former. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Is it going to be Owen? | ||
| Is it going to be Harrison? | ||
| Is it going to be Alex? | ||
| Don't stop this! | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're doing a who's the most important person in 2017 thing! | |
| It's Alex. | ||
| I knew it! | ||
| This says it's live, but I mean, I don't know. | ||
| It could be a rebroadcast of some sort. | ||
| But yeah, it looks like Alex didn't go to the woods. | ||
| I wonder if he's predicting the future. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| Anyway, Alex used to be way better at predicting the future. | ||
| Back in the past. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| Well, you know, he predicted 9-11. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| And that was from a dream. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You know, I went on air in July of 2001. | ||
| And did dozens of shows up until September 11th saying they're going to blow up the World Trade Center. | ||
| When Joe Rogan was on. | ||
| They're going to use it as a pretext for domestic control and to bring in their control system. | ||
| And then in the future, they're going to use that anti-terror apparatus against the American people and against gun owners and patriots and Christians. | ||
| And people said, how did you do that? | ||
| I got in the zone. | ||
| And it's almost like... | ||
| Close Encounters of the Third Kind. | ||
| And I'm not saying that's what's happening here, but it's an allegory, where the aliens are sitting on a psychic transmission. | ||
| Everybody's kind of building the mountain. | ||
| Everybody's feeling guided to the mountain. | ||
| The government's having their meeting with the aliens, but the aliens actually want to meet with the people themselves. | ||
| The aliens are sitting in transmission out psychically. | ||
| Come to this mountain. | ||
| Come here and meet with us. | ||
| You know, this is going to happen. | ||
| See, it's playing in a 40-year-old movie to me. | ||
| And that's really the allegory here, is that... | ||
| I need to really get in that zone because in 2000, I would have intense understanding and just intense thoughts of what they were going to do. | ||
| And I then had dreams of the burning buildings of the World Trade Center. | ||
| And I understood it was a key signpost of where we were going. | ||
| And so there was a lot of Interdimensional power going into the future. | ||
| Because, you see, time-space continuum, information's going out, possible futures are there, our actions decide much of what those futures are going to be. | ||
| But it's like sonar or radar. | ||
| Those big events that do happen, they send back a signature of what's happening in the future into the past. | ||
| And so it's a radar. | ||
| It's an interdimensional sonar. | ||
| Sonar's a better word, because I would describe the space-time continuum like a waterfall. | ||
| Why? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yeah, it's like a waterfall. | ||
| What? | ||
| Look, I don't know. | ||
| I like some sort of new-agey nonsense, and every now and again, if you want to talk about the time-space continuum and all this stuff, and there's possible futures, whatever, I'm going to leave that alone, in terms of judging that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Now, I will judge Alex on this front, and that is... | ||
| He doesn't know how to read a word on the page. | ||
| There is that. | ||
| I'm not going to trust him to interpret signs from the possible futures of the space-time continuum. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He doesn't know anything. | ||
| You know, I do appreciate celebrating talents that are not, you know, like, hey, some people can't read, but they're very good at visual art. | ||
| I recognize that that's possible. | ||
| However, if you are talking semiotics... | ||
| Learn how to read. | ||
| That's my advice. | ||
| Or even, like, interpret concepts or any of that kind of stuff. | ||
| He's very poor at that skill set. | ||
| I would imagine he would get a message from the aliens and he'd completely whiff the game of telephone trying to explain to us what it was. | ||
| Well, I mean, I basically, if what I heard is correct about his explanation of the allegory of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, I do not trust anything he says about anything. | ||
| No. | ||
| I would imagine that the aliens are telling him to shut the fuck up, and that he's telling us a completely different message. | ||
| Yeah, the aliens are screaming at him, shaped like me. | ||
| So Alex, you know, a lot of his reporting is based on deep sources that people have died to bring to him. | ||
| Technically not true, but true. | ||
| Well, definitely not true. | ||
| Most of it is actually memes and dumb stuff that he saw on social media that he doesn't know anything about. | ||
| There's that. | ||
| Like this. | ||
| And I know Keanu Reeves. | ||
| I had dinner with him a few times and talked to him quite a bit when I was a consultant on Scanner Darkly. | ||
| And he even reached out a few times through his producer and through his assistant over the years. | ||
| He liked my films and they ordered more of them. | ||
| And they even invited me out one time and I never got out there. | ||
| I never did it just because it's not important. | ||
| But I got to tell you, this is a really creepy Keanu Reeves clip. | ||
| Is it from a movie? | ||
| It's clip three. | ||
| I want to play this because And they cut it short, so I'm wondering what he said after. | ||
| But he says it's amazing and really cool that a little girl at a director's house he was at said, I don't care if things are reality. | ||
| I don't care if they're real. | ||
| Well, that's the whole thing about the Matrix, is that's where they're taking us, is a false reality where they can control the input and try to manipulate us spiritually to make false decisions. | ||
| That's how they believe they short-circuit and defraud free will. | ||
| I thought they just wanted power. | ||
| And so there's Keanu Reeves. | ||
| You're correct. | ||
| Literal power. | ||
| They just needed power. | ||
| They needed batteries. | ||
| People say he's stupid because they don't actually know him. | ||
| He's really smart. | ||
| He actually opens up and talks to you. | ||
| He doesn't talk to most people. | ||
| Do people say he's stupid? | ||
| No. | ||
| I feel like everybody likes him. | ||
| This is a very dangerous clip. | ||
| Because they're a child. | ||
| It'd be one thing if you're an adult and a philosopher and you decide you want to be in the Matrix. | ||
| You decide you want to be in a fraud. | ||
| But children can't differentiate. | ||
| That's why they can't have sex till they're 18. That's why they can't join the military till they're 18. They can't buy cigarettes till they're 18. They can't buy liquor till they're 21. Because we've made a decision that statistically it's good to protect them until they're able to make those decisions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| I think that people... | ||
| They don't think that Keanu Reeves is stupid, but a lot of his characters were stupid when he was younger. | ||
| He played a good, stupid person like Bill and Ted. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I feel like most people can recognize that when you're in a movie. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You are pretending to be a different thing. | ||
| But he also was kind of typecast in a lot of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure, sure. | |
| I think that some of that impression can linger in people's minds, but particularly in the last 10 years, 15 years, 20 years, I think people have taken quite a different view of Keanu as he's become an adult much more. | ||
| But I don't know. | ||
| I don't think that Alex... | ||
| I mean, maybe they talked in passing. | ||
| Like, during Waking Life? | ||
| I'm sorry, during Scanner Darkly? | ||
| Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me. | ||
| Sure, but I'm playing this up a little bit. | ||
| Hey, Keanu Reeves, I'm a huge fan of yours from Bill and Ted. | ||
| And he's like, yeah, cool, man. | ||
| Your point is very correct, too, about the plot of The Matrix. | ||
| I'm trying to trick people into making false choices. | ||
| Fairly certain that it's just, we needed batteries. | ||
| Hey, listen, when the battery's on your controller, you know I had a wireless Xbox controller way back when? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| When the batteries go out, you get desperate. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| Now, I wouldn't enslave an entire race of people, but they weren't nice to them either, so you get it. | ||
| I understand. | ||
| Now, there is one way that Alex is kind of correct, in as much as... | ||
| The very select people that get out of the Matrix, the architect and the machines are trying to get them to play out a false choice in order to reboot that cycle. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| They still, again, still want their batteries. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But that is close to what Alex is talking about, except it's only a very select people. | ||
| The rest of the people, they don't give a shit what choices they make within the Matrix. | ||
| And once again... | ||
| It's completely irrelevant. | ||
| Importantly... | ||
| It is an allegory, not a true story. | ||
| Now, this clip that Alex has found of Keanu Reeves, terrifying. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| What does he say? | ||
| It's a dangerous clip. | ||
| I mean, if it's dangerous, then it's terrifying, right? | ||
| I think we should probably hear it. | ||
| Let's see it. | ||
| Maybe I'll try to get a hold of Keanu Reeves. | ||
| Good luck. | ||
| Please do. | ||
| Please try to get a hold of Keanu. | ||
| What did you really say on the clip? | ||
| Because I don't want to judge what you said off a clip, because I don't know the context of it, but this is... | ||
| Creepy as hell. | ||
| Here's a clip. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I was having dinner at a friend's house, this director. | ||
| And he had some kids. | ||
| And there was like a 13-year-old, a 15-year-old, a 17-year-old. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they hadn't seen the film Matrix. | |
| And so the director was like, well, why don't you just tell them it's about? | ||
| So I started to say, well, there's this guy who's in a kind of virtual world. | ||
| And he finds out that there's a real world. | ||
| He's really questioning what's real and not real, and he really wants to know what's real. | ||
| And the young girl was like, "Why?" And I was like, "What do you mean?" She was like, "Who cares if it's real?" And I was like, "You don't care if it's real?" And she was like, "No, it's awesome." - You think it's awesome? | ||
| - I mean, it's awesome. | ||
| I mean, it's awesome. | ||
| Did you catch that right there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did you? | |
| That was a jump cut. | ||
| Play that again. | ||
| Play the clip again here in just a moment where it jump cuts and then he says it's awesome. | ||
| I don't think Keanu Reeves said that that's awesome that she doesn't like reality and that she wants to be in the Matrix. | ||
| I think he said something about a film or something he's doing is awesome or something else she said was awesome. | ||
| That's another deception. | ||
| In fact, my gut tells me knowing Keanu Reeves That's fake. | ||
| Here's a clip again. | ||
| So here's something Alex could do. | ||
| He could take two minutes to figure out where the clip he's playing came from. | ||
| He's just playing a little snippet of a clip that was spreading on social media, but if he really cared at all and wanted to present his audience with any real information, he could have taken the literally two minutes it took me to find the full interview that this is from. | ||
| This is from an interview that Keanu and Carrie Ann Moss did with The Verge in advance of the release of the fourth Matrix movie. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It's a year-old interview that Alex only has any awareness of because one of his underlings found it on social media and now he's blindly playing it and wrestling with what the context for this could possibly be. | ||
| When if he cared... | ||
| The context is easily accessible. | ||
| It's right there for him to find. | ||
| He doesn't need to call Keanu and find out what he said. | ||
| Just watch the fucking 18-minute interview. | ||
| It's right there. | ||
| Did you call Keanu to get this information? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I didn't. | |
| I just found the interview. | ||
| With what power? | ||
| Google. | ||
| Oh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Guess what? | |
| Guess what, dude? | ||
| It is a jump cut. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it's also more or less in context. | ||
| Here is the actual interview. | ||
| You know, I feel like it's the first time in a long time that the real world is almost ahead of our science fiction. | ||
| I mean, the whole idea of trying to pursue, like, when can we make it photoreal? | ||
| When can we fool? | ||
| I mean, all of the deepfake, you know, technologies that are happening. | ||
| Wow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It hurts the mind. | |
| No, no, but it's like, it's almost, you know, it's like, it's the why, right? | ||
| We can't. | ||
| We have to keep, the species has to keep creating. | ||
| The species is like, oh, I can do that. | ||
| Let's keep going to do that, you know, and no one can predict the future. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I was having dinner at a friend's house, this director, and he had some kids, and there was... | ||
| Like a 13-year-old, a 15-year-old, a 17-year-old. | ||
| And they hadn't seen the film The Matrix. | ||
| And so the director was like, well, why don't you just tell them what it's about? | ||
| So I start to say, well, there's this guy who's in a kind of virtual world, and he finds out that there's a real world, and he's really questioning what's real and not real, and he really wants to know what's real. | ||
| And the young girl was like, why? | ||
| And I was like, what do you mean? | ||
| She was like, who cares if it's real? | ||
| And I was like, what, you don't care if it's real? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And she was like, no. | |
| Isn't that wild? | ||
| It's awesome. | ||
| You think it's awesome? | ||
| I mean, it's awesome. | ||
| I mean, it's awesome. | ||
| This idea of that, you know, so in a way, what you and I are kind of speaking about is kind of like a legacy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Feeling. | |
| We're almost like, oh, you're older versions. | ||
| Just let it go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know. | |
| I'm the mom at the kitchen table, like, talking about the possibility of, like, a virtual world for my kids, and I'm crying, you know? | ||
| Like, that's how it feels for me. | ||
| But now I just, I don't know, just kind of like sitting around the table and talking. | ||
| Call me crazy. | ||
| No, no, but you'll be able to sit around at your table and talking. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What if it's not a real table? | |
| What if I don't know if it's real or not? | ||
| No, you won't have to be a table. | ||
| That's the other question, too, which is one of the issues that we're being confronted by very quickly. | ||
| It's a really interesting interview, and the jumping-off point for a lot of this is the creation of the Matrix game, which utilized the Unreal Engine to take assets from the actual movie, as well as digital recreations of the actors in the film to create very realistic avatars. | ||
| This prompts the conversation about the implications of being able to create virtual versions of actors. | ||
| Will they even need the people to make movies in the future? | ||
| This touches on Carrie Fisher being in Star Wars posthumously, among other points. | ||
| Keanu was saying that this perspective that the young girl was bringing up was awesome, but it wasn't in the really great definition of awesome. | ||
| It was pretty clear he meant it in the inspiring awe definition. | ||
| He even does this hand gesture where he's like, wow. | ||
| It fills you with awe. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anyway, this is an indication of Alex's work process. | |
| He does literally no preparation for the show because he doesn't give a shit about the quality of the product he's making. | ||
| He knows that the audience is captured and they don't require much of him, so he's just freestyling this bullshit. | ||
| Oh, no curiosity-based investigation into what was going on here. | ||
| Yeah, if I was going to guess, I'd be like, oh, so somebody found that clip, and Alex was like, ah, I know Keanu. | ||
| I'm going to talk about that. | ||
| Or I was plausibly able to claim I know him because we were in Scanner Darkly. | ||
| We were in Scanner Darkly. | ||
| Theoretically, together. | ||
| So anyway, Alex didn't go find the clip at all. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But he's decided he's going to make some conclusions about it. | ||
| This is what the deceivers do. | ||
| You saw they spliced that tape. | ||
| And so I'm going to try to get a hold of Keanu and find out the truth. | ||
| But the issue there is that's what the left does. | ||
| They deceive. | ||
| How is this the left? | ||
| Where did we even show up? | ||
| We don't know he really said it. | ||
| Let's make him say what we want. | ||
| Let's get rid of his free will. | ||
| Let's actually capture his identity and then misrepresent what he really said and let's do it not with a deep fake but with an edited video and let's do it right in front. | ||
| Of your face. | ||
| This is really sad. | ||
| This is. | ||
| One of the reasons it's really sad is that if Alex knew anything about where this clip came from, he could make this so much more of a meaningful conversation. | ||
| Because ironically, the issue of people's images being made to say things is exactly what a lot of this interview is about. | ||
| It's Keanu and Carrie Ann wrestling with the technological advancements and how that impacts the dynamics of creation. | ||
| Their conversation is way more insightful and interesting than it is. | ||
| Anything Alex has, but if he did any work, he'd be able to fold in some of their comments into this presentation, and that would elevate it past the point of just being an idiot blindly responding to a clip someone else found on Twitter, and he just decided, oh, I'm going to talk about this today. | ||
| Oh, the left edited this. | ||
| Oh, the left. | ||
| I forgot that we had done that one. | ||
| Oh, man, the left again! | ||
| This is how they deceive. | ||
| The left is trying to take Keanu from us. | ||
| A far-right figure. | ||
| Well, I know that the left doesn't want him because he is an FBI agent! | ||
| Wait, the right doesn't want him either. | ||
| They don't like the FBI. | ||
| They don't like the FBI. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| But he was a great college quarterback, so they do like him. | ||
| This is all very stupid. | ||
| And if Alex did a grain of work, just a tiny little bit of... | ||
| I mean, you just Google it. | ||
| Yeah, how do you see a clip that has a jump cut in it and you're like... | ||
| And not just Google it. | ||
| Where is this from? | ||
| What does this actually say? | ||
| Before you decide to get in front of your billions and billions of listeners. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| And it's just pathetic. | ||
| I mean, half the time when I write a joke or... | ||
| Or even a premise. | ||
| I googled the premise just to make sure that somebody hasn't already written a better joke. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Very sad. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Anyway, Alex saw something else on Twitter that he's mad about. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Okay, let's hit some of the news here. | ||
| This is the news. | ||
| I want to play clip nine because if you go to Twitter and you see this clip, it's... | ||
| Vicious Microscopic Life. | ||
| And it's titled Watch a Cell Bite and Kill Another Cell. | ||
| And it's under an electron microscope. | ||
| And it shows another cell go over, excrete some enzymes. | ||
| Gross. | ||
| And burst the membrane. | ||
| What? | ||
| Of the cell. | ||
| And then the other cell, an amoeba. | ||
| Starts eating the guts, the mitochondria of the cell. | ||
| It's just killed as its guts spill out. | ||
| Now, if you go to Twitter, I read like 100 of the comments this morning or more. | ||
| Oh, poor cell. | ||
| It's so sad. | ||
| It's so mean. | ||
| It's terrible. | ||
| Oh, this shows why we need the vaccine to save us. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Governance by YouTube comments. | ||
| And they show all this compassion for the cell, but not the compassion for the unborn baby. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| You didn't think that's where that was going. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Quite. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| I mean, that's a twist at the end that I almost want to relive. | ||
| That's some fucking serious M. Night Shyamalan level twist. | ||
| Surprise, you didn't know. | ||
| You're almost 50, Alex. | ||
| Stop paying attention to fucking Twitter replies. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| When I was growing up, I always resented when I would go to the library and I'd pick out a book and one of the librarians or something would be like, this is above your reading level. | ||
| I don't think you want to do that. | ||
| Because I was like, no, I can absolutely read at this level and I want to learn more. | ||
| And now I'm like, oh, I totally understand. | ||
| The moment he starts talking about cells, I want to be like, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| We got to go all the way back. | ||
| You're not ready for this yet? | ||
| I cut out a long portion. | ||
| Where he tries to talk about mitochondria. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| Just because I was like... | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| I couldn't even handle it. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Like, go back to the beginning, dude. | ||
| This is above your reading level. | ||
| I know you're trying hard. | ||
| Well, you bring up an interesting idea about this, like, beyond your reading level thing, because I think that there's, like, a dynamic that when you're younger and you're, like, trying to read above your reading level, that's good. | ||
| Because what you're doing is challenging yourself and, like, you know, trying to sharpen your blade on a, you know. | ||
| And I think that you can grow through that. | ||
| As long as you step up to the challenge of this other material. | ||
| Maybe you don't fully understand it all the time, but you pick up some pieces. | ||
| Accept your failures with humility as corrections to be... | ||
| And I think that's a positive thing. | ||
| And I think what Alex does is the reverse, which is he bases a lot of his ideas on YouTube comments and Twitter replies. | ||
| And that is reading below anyone's reading level. | ||
| And basing... | ||
| Ideas on that just, like, it softens you. | ||
| Like, there is nothing, there is no challenge to that. | ||
| There is nothing, there's, if you want to make whatever argument you want, you can find Twitter replies that'll make that for you. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| It's just a shortcut to being able to make whatever point you want and pretending it's based on something. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Won't somebody think of the unborn babies? | ||
| They care so much about this cell. | ||
| That's a stupid point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But, all these people are saying it on Twitter, and therefore... | |
| It has meaning. | ||
| Yeah, there is something to be said about a stream of passive information completely ruining your ability to actively search for information. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's true. | |
| That's why I avoid a lot of any of it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's probably why I started reading a lot more whenever I quit Twitter. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| Imagine if my work process was finding Twitter comments that were against Alex. | ||
| Man, the number of things, the number of slight changes to either of our personalities, and this whole thing falls apart. | ||
| So we've got the news. | ||
| There was a clip of Keanu Reeves that Alex didn't see that he's decided to draw conclusions about. | ||
| I forgot we called that the news. | ||
| That was the news. | ||
| I forgot that. | ||
| Also, a cell ate another cell. | ||
| I love the complete inability to recognize the, like, it's not the cell. | ||
| The human beings are reacting with empathy to the situation, imagining themselves in that situation, comparing it to other situations. | ||
| And I'm going to guess that's not a very widespread response of empathy for this. | ||
| I think a lot of people don't personify necessarily a cell. | ||
| But if you were going to, you're not like, the cell itself is under attack. | ||
| If you're Alex? | ||
| You do. | ||
| What you gonna do? | ||
| So there's other news, and we get back to those deaths. | ||
| Those big, unexpected deaths of 90-plus-year-old famous people. | ||
| But who else died this year? | ||
| Well, on the last day of the year, Ratzinger's funeral mass on January 5th, 2023, and the number 23 in Illuminati. | ||
| Synchronicity. | ||
| We're going to try to get Leo Zagami on the show the next few days. | ||
| We tried today, but he didn't answer. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| It's a holiday. | ||
| He's grieving. | ||
| He's having a very... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I cannot answer you today. | |
| Also, just a little point. | ||
| If the number 23 was really all that important, then they probably wouldn't have killed him for another day or two. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean... | |
| He's 95. Yeah. | ||
| Hold off for a day. | ||
| Because he died in 2022, so the 23 number isn't... | ||
| Oh, it's the funeral that's important. | ||
| There's no rush in either direction. | ||
| This next clip is about the other celebrity. | ||
| This is about Barbara Walters. | ||
| This is just mean. | ||
| Barbara Walters, trailblazing TV icon, dead at 93. Who cares? | ||
| Damn. | ||
| Holy shit! | ||
| Rude. | ||
| Disrespectful. | ||
| I understand, like... | ||
| That is very funny, though. | ||
| I understand being iconoclastic and not liking the media and what have you, but that's rude. | ||
| That is just... | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| That's very funny. | ||
| So those are the news. | ||
| That's the news we've got. | ||
| See, that seems more reasonable for him to say about the Queen than it does about Barbara Walters. | ||
| Like, Barbara Walters worked her ass off, and the Queen was just born the Queen, you know? | ||
| Well, I mean, the Queen did some things, and we forgot that day that she was a patriot. | ||
| Well, that's true. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| He did have to memorialize her. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, you're right. | ||
| So we have one last clip, and here's how Alex wraps things up. | ||
| Please commit in the new year to spread the word more than ever, to share the clips, to share the articles, to share the reports, to share the videos, and to buy great products that will empower you and your body and your family's immune systems at InfowarStore.com. | ||
| Make the commitment. | ||
| Make the decision today, however you can help fight, and I salute you and thank you all. | ||
| That's it for the final broadcast of the epic, insane, wild year of 2022, and I'm here to tell you... | ||
| 2023 is guaranteed to even be more insane, and we'll be here dutifully, fighting as hard as we can, clinging on to dear life. | ||
| We hope you keep this on air. | ||
| God bless, and I'll see you in the year 2023. | ||
| What a meaningless show. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| It's just, I was, you know, trying to find things to hold on to, footholds, and I'm like, look, I don't expect much. | ||
| This guy has disappointed me for coming on six years now, or whatever. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| He sucks. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| No big deal. | ||
| We're a little bit late to be surprised by it now. | ||
| But I'm still surprised at how bad this was. | ||
| I mean, bring some... | ||
| Do a number. | ||
| Do a song. | ||
| Anything. | ||
| It's the end of the year! | ||
| This is why we can't do a year-end round-up or anything, because we'd go too far. | ||
| We'd be like, well, if we're going to do a year roundup, we have to do it. | ||
| I'd rewrite old letters. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, we'd do the whole thing. | ||
| It'd be a mess. | ||
| It would be, yeah, and we'd have nearly the resources Alex has. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, we've got nothing, yeah. | |
| This is just, I don't know, it's a wet blanket on a year, you know? | ||
| He could have tried. | ||
| Instead, it's just excessive begging for money. | ||
| Rambling about meaningless nonsense about a fucking Satan dial. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then the actual news that he's covering are clips that he saw on Twitter and celebrity deaths he doesn't care about. | ||
| And one maybe that he could have covered, but Leo Zagami didn't answer his phone. | ||
| Can't talk about the Pope if Leo Zagami isn't around. | ||
| No. | ||
| What are you going to say? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| You can't. | ||
| Can't do it. | ||
| And then also, like, let's not forget. | ||
| The promise of the predictions just being completely unpaid off. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, I'm gonna go to the woods, and now we learn here on Sunday he didn't even go to the woods. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So how are we gonna find out what's gonna happen in the future? | ||
| If Alex does believe he can see the future, he is depriving us of a vision of the future by not going to the woods, by not locking himself in his office. | ||
| He is, by not doing that, he is harming the world. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| To actually follow the things that Alex believes to their logical conclusions, one can only assume that Alex Jones himself is doing massive amounts of harm to the world by being lazy. | ||
| I can sign off on that. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, that's what he believes. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| It's ironic, because I think that if you tried harder, he would do more damage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| But conceivably, because he does such little work, his carelessness causes a lot of problems, too. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| I think he'd probably cause as much damage whether he did a lot of work or not. | ||
| It's just what kind of damage is it? | ||
| In my estimation of him... | ||
| I think regardless of what he does, he should probably have two or three people watching him and controlling his behavior. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Like, he can't not be the worst at anything. | ||
| He's just the worst. | ||
| Except, like I said, improvised murder fantasies. | ||
| He's pretty good at that. | ||
| But that makes him the worst, you know? | ||
| I don't disagree. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, here's what's gonna happen. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| On our next episode. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| We're gonna find out if he gets these predictions. | ||
| He fucking better. | ||
| I demand to know these predictions. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I'm going to be on him like a hawk. | ||
| I'm going to be fine-tooth comb through everything he puts out until he gives me the predictions of what's going to happen this year. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| I'm not making any New Year's predictions or anything like that. | ||
| I don't do that. | ||
| What I'm interested in, though, Dan, what is your prediction for one of Alex's predictions? | ||
| What do you think one of his predictions may be? | ||
| Lockdowns. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Another bioweapon. | ||
| True. | ||
| Probably something like that. | ||
| He's got to take one big swing, though. | ||
| Here's my guess on his big swing. | ||
| Hillary becomes president. | ||
| My guess on his big swing is he's going to say that they're going to take out Putin. | ||
| For reals this time. | ||
| I don't know if Alex would want to have that concrete of a prediction. | ||
| But, hey, we'll see. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Here's what I'm willing to do. | ||
| Never mind. | ||
| I'm going to walk this way. | ||
| I was going to say I'm willing to go to the woods with Alex in order to get these predictions. | ||
| But no, I am not. | ||
| No, you are not. | ||
| I'd like to go to the woods, but Alex would ruin it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So anyway, we'll be back. | ||
| Hopefully with some predictions of the future. | ||
|

|
Possible. | |
| But until then, we have a website. | ||
| Indeed we do. | ||
| It's knowledgefight.com. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| We're also on Twitter. | ||
| We are on Twitter. | ||
| It's at knowledge underscore fight. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| We'll be back. | ||
| But until then, I'm Neo. | ||
| I'm Leo. | ||
| I'm DZX Clark. | ||
| I'm going to go lock myself in my office with the lights off and a pen light for seven hours to see the future. | ||
| And now here comes the sex robots. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||

|
Hello, Alex. | |

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