Today, Dan and Jordan explore some of the content on Alex's new website, which is definitely not owned by him and not related to Free Speech Systems at all. In this installment, Alex announces a show recorded by candle-light, declares his intent to become the new Bob Ross, and accidentally reveals that he believes in social distancing.

| I love you. | ||
| Hey, everybody. | ||
| Welcome back to KnowledgeFight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| We're a couple dudes like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| Oh, indeed we are, Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Quick question for you. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| What's your bright spot today, buddy? | ||
| My bright spot is Jordan. | ||
| I'm getting the last of these buttons out and everything, and so obviously I need a little something to watch. | ||
| I've been needing to find some entertainment. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| And I was poking around on YouTube, and I managed to find there's a new season of Australian Survivor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
| Australian Survivor Heroes vs. | ||
| Villains. | ||
| Alright, alright. | ||
| And, man, I gotta say, maybe I'm a traitor to the United States, but they have no business making such a better version of Survivor. | ||
| Why? | ||
| It's night and day. | ||
| It's so much better. | ||
| I mean, that's like... | ||
| It is harder to survive on the day-to-day than in the States for a lot of people, so I feel like that makes sense, that their show about survival would be of a heightened quality. | ||
| But, like, they... | ||
| I don't fucking get it. | ||
| Their editing's better. | ||
| Their storytelling is better. | ||
| Well, that's fascinating. | ||
| Their casting is better. | ||
| Like, legitimately... | ||
| There are characters on there that I don't like that I still enjoy watching. | ||
| Whereas with the American version this last season, I was having a real hard time getting a hold anywhere. | ||
| Finding anybody to care about on that season. | ||
| Well, that's fair. | ||
| But yeah, it's just good. | ||
| And here, I was thinking about it. | ||
| I'm like, what could it possibly be that's the difference? | ||
| And I think it's less like meta shit. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| There's less meta shit going on. | ||
| What season of the Australian Survivor are they on? | ||
| I think it's eight. | ||
| They're on, like, eight. | ||
| As opposed to 40. As opposed to 40. Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So it's like a fan of Australian Survivor has only been watching Australian Survivor as opposed to, like, their dad watched it and explained to them some of the, you know? | ||
| But it doesn't live outside the context of Survivor. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| People still understand. | ||
| And, like, heroes versus villains, and the last season was blood versus water. | ||
| Naturally. | ||
| Did water win? | ||
| There's more of it. | ||
| Well, you know that's the season where people have to compete against or with their family members. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Those are things. | ||
| I noticed this. | ||
| That I love. | ||
| And that is that on Australian Survivor, they split... | ||
| Every episode has a reward challenge and a immunity challenge, like classic Survivor. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| In the American version, it's always both. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They just have one big thing, and it's almost always a big course that you have to run through. | ||
| There's something that's annoying, and then there's a puzzle. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then you get a reward and immunity. | ||
| And it's like, I don't know. | ||
| This is good. | ||
| It's just like, I don't... | ||
| I want to maximize that much of time of people just sitting around. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And maybe that is what they want to maximize. | ||
| But for me, I want to see people do challenges. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I want to see balanced gameplay and balanced television. | ||
| That's what I want to see. | ||
| And sometimes their challenges are fucking stupid. | ||
| Throw coconuts at barrels. | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| That's great. | ||
| That's a great challenge. | ||
| Here's why that's a great challenge. | ||
| Because that is a challenge that no one can stop doing until they succeed. | ||
| You would just be like, okay, I know I missed that one, but I'll do one more. | ||
| Yeah, one of the challenges was two team members are on each side. | ||
| So it's two on two. | ||
| So it's like bags a little bit. | ||
| And there's a line of five barrels. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And whoever gets three knocked over. | ||
| On the other person's side wins. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| Simple. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| None of this gilding the lily with all the elaborate fucking courses. | ||
| I do love a borderline corporate retreat game. | ||
| It's hard to not enjoy yourself. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This last episode that I watched, one of the challenges was hold on to a poll. | ||
| Like over the ocean, you're just hanging on to a pole. | ||
| I do have a problem with the hang on to a pole stuff. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Endurance. | ||
| Difficult. | ||
| I saw They Shoot Horses, don't they, when I was like 14, which is too young to see that movie. | ||
| Do they shoot horses? | ||
| No, they shoot horses, don't they? | ||
| And it is so much like I do sometimes get Depression-era flashbacks whenever I see somebody just holding on to a pole for a million dollars. | ||
| I get it, okay? | ||
| We're doing a dance-off for 48 hours. | ||
| It's mind over matter. | ||
| I understand, but it's... | ||
| It's testing your mettle. | ||
| You came out there to win this prize. | ||
| Do you have mentally what it takes to hold on to this pole? | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I recognize that. | |
| So anyway, there's a guy named Sean on this season who appears to be five feet taller than everybody else, and it's amazing. | ||
| He's a fucking giant. | ||
| He's just a giant. | ||
| And he is comically overpowered. | ||
| Oh, of course. | ||
| In terms of challenges, like, good luck. | ||
| I don't know how people are going to beat him. | ||
| Like back when CT carried Johnny Bananas on his back. | ||
| Like that kind of overpowered. | ||
| Yeah, but he's not drunk and seemingly a real problematic dude. | ||
| And he's not from Boston. | ||
| No. | ||
| Although, I don't want to talk more. | ||
| I can't talk more about this. | ||
| I could go on forever. | ||
| Anyway, what's your bright spot? | ||
| My bright spot is, so I started learning how to speedrun Final Fantasy VII. | ||
| You mentioned that before we started recording. | ||
| It's been very exciting. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And yesterday, I performed my first, like, skip. | ||
| You know, like one of those things where you have to enter in a series of things and you do it the right way. | ||
| This one in particular. | ||
| Pixel perfect. | ||
| And you did it? | ||
| Yeah, and I did it. | ||
| I did it for the first time on stream. | ||
| Everybody was like, I assume they were clapping. | ||
| You can't hear anybody. | ||
| There was woo in the chat one time, so that was pretty exciting. | ||
| But that to me was like the first time. | ||
| It is like, I get it. | ||
| It's an accomplishment. | ||
| No, it was like the moment I totally got it. | ||
| Like the whole speed running thing, I got it because I was like... | ||
| Oh, wow, I'm 35, and this is me at 10. The moment that happened, I was like, I won! | ||
| You know, it was that. | ||
| Yeah, I get it conceptually, but I have a difficult time ever imagining I could actually do it, you know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's so precise. | ||
| A lot of that stuff's very precise, and I'm not so hot on that. | ||
| You know, and I was scared of it, too. | ||
| And it did take, like, two to three hours of practice to do it one time. | ||
| See? | ||
| And I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it again. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But doing it that one time was pretty solid. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I wouldn't... | |
| I wouldn't say I'm scared. | ||
| Intimidated? | ||
| Apprehensive. | ||
| I have better uses of my time. | ||
| I'm too busy. | ||
| I'm too busy to fail to do something for two hours just to do it once and then maybe not be able to do it again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fair. | |
| I understand. | ||
| but also it is part of like a larger process that you're in the middle of so i don't mean to i don't mean to minimize or be like why would anyone do that no i find it i find it very interesting it is it is so much like learning an instrument to me yeah it's it's so fascinating how how much like it is like learning to play the piano again you know being mad that lion the simplest version of lion king isn't as easy as i wanted it to be yeah | ||
| It's incredibly niche and maybe not ever going to have the same level of respect as a symphony, but... | ||
| Doubtful, but... | ||
| But I see what you're saying, and I wish you the best with it. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| No problem. | ||
| So, Jordan. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Today we have an episode to go over. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ooh. | |
| And here's the sitch. | ||
| It's a deposition? | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Although that would have rhymed. | ||
| I was pretty excited for the rhyme. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| I realized on our last episode that I mentioned and teased that Alex is doing these fireside chats. | ||
| Oh! | ||
| And... | ||
| I realize I can't leave that thread dangling. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| We have to talk about the fireside chats. | ||
| Now, in the defense of leaving it dangling, if you so desire, I still don't know what Alex's predictions for 2023 are. | ||
| No. | ||
| We have yet to hear those. | ||
| Not coming either. | ||
| So this is a frustrating situation. | ||
| Maybe we'll learn some by the fire. | ||
| That would be a good time. | ||
| So I... | ||
| I have so many complicated feelings about this. | ||
| I started exploring Alex's new site, his AlexJones.live, and I think that this is where he's trying to hide his money. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| I mean, that's basically the game. | ||
| He's leaving InfoWars behind and trying to shift all of that over to this. | ||
| It couldn't be more obvious. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And on the one level, that's interesting. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But then on another level... | ||
| There is this weird thing where he and, like, spoiler alert, Mike Adams ends up showing up at some point. | ||
| Not by the fire. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But they have this, like, oh, you have such freedom now. | ||
| And, like, what freedom didn't you have before? | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Like, you can finally talk. | ||
| You didn't have a boss. | ||
| You could have done whatever. | ||
| But at the same time, I get it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alex was trapped in his own self-made prison planet in the Infowars studio, and there is some sort of a weird comfort that he probably has escaping and doing like, ah, I'm in my home studio recording me just saying whatever the fuck I want. | ||
| I mean, I will say this, as far as therapy has ever gone, there is a huge difference between going to the therapist's office and then whenever Zoom therapy stuff started happening, the The comfort level of being in your home talking to somebody? | ||
| Massive difference. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So I can totally get that. | ||
| Yeah, I mean like going to an office versus working at home, there is something ritualized almost like in our culture about going to the place where the thing happens. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And that can be confining in some ways. | ||
| But we're also talking, like when you're talking about therapy, you're talking about a... | ||
| You're there for an hour, and there's a reason you're there. | ||
| It's an interaction between you and this therapist. | ||
| If you're talking about going to work, then you're working for somebody, probably. | ||
| Alex didn't have a boss. | ||
| He'd just do whatever he wanted, and yet that was too confining for him because of these errors that he made along the way. | ||
| He didn't create... | ||
| Like his fantasy land where free speech reigned and everybody was hooray. | ||
| He created a hellscape for himself, and now he's trying to create his escape pod where he can have the money flow to. | ||
| And it's really bizarre to me. | ||
| Yeah, no, he was trying to build a house, and then suddenly he found out that he had accidentally built it entirely out of metal bars, and then he's trying to escape from that. | ||
| Now I assume... | ||
| That alexjones.live is probably not owned specifically by Alex Jones. | ||
| We'll talk a little bit about that, but I still don't have a terms of service page up on his website, so I still don't know some of the details. | ||
| There's still no place to sign up or pay money, so there's no transactions that are being done through this website, at least as far as I can tell. | ||
| It would be difficult to launder money right now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, but he also doesn't have a responsibility to have a terms of service page, as far as I know. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I don't know the law. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| But I'm keeping my eyes on it, because I think this is... | ||
| I am much more interested in this than his show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| His show is such a rut, and even he knows it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like, he's trying to escape his present-day show just as much as I am. | ||
| So... | ||
| So he's... | ||
| Wow. | ||
| This is fascinating. | ||
| This is a whole new world. | ||
| This is a... | ||
| You've piqued my interest beyond what I was expecting. | ||
| I'm glad. | ||
| Good. | ||
| And now, we'll say hi to some wonks and then we'll talk about Fireside Jackson. | ||
| That's a great idea. | ||
| So first, Michael Jackson's out-of-work emotional sport cat and world-famous techno cat, John Barron. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| That was the name of Trump's assistant that we forgot. | ||
| Trump's alleged assistant. | ||
| Next, I aided Project Black Kraken to kidnap a bachelor's squatch, and my cat still resents me. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Next, hey baby, my name is Gaby. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Next, Malik Dwayne for Thieves and Associates. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| Thank you! | ||
| And my girlfriend took Frances Boyle's international law class, and it was as weird as you'd think. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| You don't know how weird I think it is. | ||
| Boy, I would be surprised if you could out-weird me. | ||
| I have some really bizarre pictures in my head. | ||
| I know. | ||
| So, um... | ||
| Look, here's the deal. | ||
| Here's how this is gonna go. | ||
| We've got two fireside chats and an episode of Alex's podcast. | ||
| His maiden voyage on his podcast that we're gonna be discussing here today. | ||
| These things are up on his website, the Alex Jones Live. | ||
| But the podcast is also up in an Alex Jones Live section on band.video. | ||
| So, there are no view counts on his Alex Jones Live website. | ||
| But there are on band.video. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I can tell that this video that he has, this first episode of his podcast, the fireside chat's not up there, so I couldn't get a read on that. | ||
| This only has 150 or so thousand views. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That's not good. | ||
| It's better than Harrison Smith, but it's not as good as InfoWars. | ||
| Oh, it's better than Harrison Smith by a country mile. | ||
| You better bet your bottom bippy. | ||
| Uh-oh, it's canon now. | ||
| It's in there. | ||
| Yeah, it's better than everybody else at InfoWars, but it's not better than maybe an episode of Alex's show might do. | ||
| Especially one where it's like, this is a premiere, a launch, a brand new thing. | ||
| Something that's supposed to be exciting. | ||
| It seems like... | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| You know, here's the thing. | ||
| Here's the thing about that. | ||
| I hope, and it's not true. | ||
| It's not true, obviously. | ||
| But I would hope, if I were in this situation, that I would take that as like, fuck yeah. | ||
| Because, and I'll throw this out there. | ||
| I get where you're going. | ||
| You want to build something new, and you get the chance to build it again, you know? | ||
| Oh, I was going to go a different direction. | ||
| Oh, if you say to yourself, I built this whole InfoWars thing, right, then getting back to that spot is either a, oh no, how dare I lose all of my spot, or... | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| This is a chance to build something better. | ||
| This is newer! | ||
| See, that's nice. | ||
| But at the same time, when he started with InfoWars, it was a clean slate. | ||
| Whereas now, it would be starting something... | ||
| A billion and a half dollars in the hole. | ||
| He is $1.5 billion in debt. | ||
| That is difficult to do. | ||
| And, like, with the baggage of his whole career, he's not starting fresh, no matter what. | ||
| That is a good point. | ||
| Now, the way I thought you were going to go with it is, I would look at that 150,000 views and be like, great. | ||
| Now, people are watching it on the site, the new site. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| You know, that's the reason the numbers are low, is because everyone's watching it over there. | ||
| I don't know this. | ||
| Alex probably would, because he's got the back-end numbers, but I don't have a lot of faith. | ||
| I would be surprised. | ||
| It's tough to get people to stay through a click-through, and let alone go through a website they're not familiar with. | ||
| They're way more likely to see it on band.video than anything else. | ||
| And outside of us talking about it, I don't think I've heard anybody talk about Alex Jones having a new website. | ||
| That's not good. | ||
| So, we start here with the first fireplace chat. | ||
| This one takes place in Alex's home. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He has a fireplace. | ||
| Or I assume it's his house. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's indoors, at least. | ||
| So, he could have possibly rented a place with a good fireplace. | ||
| He could have been on vacation or something. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, sure. | ||
| So, this one is titled, Fire's Place in Humanity. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Is this his first one? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Is he establishing why he's by fire? | ||
| Because fire has an importance to humanity. | ||
| Ever since Prometheus. | ||
| Something that none of us know at all, right? | ||
| We have no idea how important fire is. | ||
| I'm oblivious to it, actually. | ||
| I asked my history professor in college about it, and he just gave me this weird look. | ||
| Everybody's like, what are you doing talking about fire still? | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| It's passé. | ||
| Who needs it? | ||
| So here we go. | ||
| Here's where it starts. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| There's something about a fire and people sitting around a fire talking about the world, talking about their families, talking about their hopes and dreams, their future. | ||
| And isn't it interesting that the European Union and places like San Francisco, the so-called greenies have banned fireplaces and space heaters. | ||
| And now they're coming after our gas power stoves. | ||
| The Biden administration proposed outright banning them. | ||
| And then when we criticized that, they said it was crazy to criticize it. | ||
| Not that it was crazy that they were doing it. | ||
| It was crazy to not want them to ban our gas power stoves. | ||
| They want to take away all of our energy. | ||
| I guess we got a little discussion of fire's place in humanity, but that was quick. | ||
| Yeah, we got right to the stoves. | ||
| We skipped over several, I would say, hundreds of thousands of years. | ||
| Yeah, and its place in humanity. | ||
| So, as Alex was ranting about how these fire things are getting banned, he flashed up some headlines on the screen, and I decided I was going to trace these down to learn a little more about the subject that he's covering. | ||
| On the subject of the greenies in the EU and San Francisco, what a combination. | ||
| Well, they are sister countries. | ||
| So on the subject of them banning fireplaces, he has an article from a website called greenzones.eu from last April titled, quote, Old Fireplaces Soon Banned. | ||
| Greenzones.eu is a website that sells environmental stickers you can put on your car and also happens to have a blog, most likely for SEO purposes, so idiots like Alex Googling keywords like ban and fireplace will land on their page and get more traffic. | ||
| The use of this is one of the main sources that Alex is going with. | ||
| It shows a lack of seriousness on his part. | ||
| This fireside chat is not being done by a professional fireside chatter. | ||
| It does not feel like that. | ||
| Every time someone explains even the tiniest bit of SEO to me, I go, No! | ||
| That's not... | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| That's not good! | ||
| This article is about the UBA, the environmental agency in Germany, putting out a decree that most of the really old fireplaces and stoves needed to be retrofitted with a new filter to bring them in line with emission standards. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| If people could not or would not retrofit them with a filter, they would need to be decommissioned. | ||
| There were a number of exceptions, though, like for, quote, historic tiled stoves from before 1950, among other exceptions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fine. | |
| I'm going to give this one a grade of... | ||
| Weak source and information provided doesn't support Alex's argument. | ||
| The next article Alex provides as backing is even worse. | ||
| The title is, quote, European Commission Behind UK Restrictions on Wood-Burning Stoves, but it doesn't have a clear date apparent. | ||
| There isn't a date on it at all, but I was able to find snapshots of this page on the Wayback Machine going back to at least October 2020. | ||
| There was also, like, an article being like, Abraham Lincoln just shot! | ||
| House used for kindling. | ||
| This is from a website titled fireplace.co.uk. | ||
| This is a fireplace industry website where you can find your local fireplace showroom or someone to sell you new pieces of fireplace-related stuff. | ||
| It's Big Fireplace! | ||
| It is. | ||
| This is essentially a lobbying arm of the wood-burning fireplace business, so it's not at all an acceptable source to prove anything other than Alex and his team are lazy. | ||
| I mean, of course they do have lobbyists, but I don't know, sometimes it's just like, you can't have a lobby. | ||
| Fireplaces can't have a lobby. | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| Also, because it's fun, the article includes this line that Alex would strongly disagree with, yet he's using it as a source. | ||
| Quote, Conveniently ignore! | ||
| Ignore the harmful emissions from diesel and petrol vehicles and the limited progress on pushing electric cars I'm guessing if Alex looked at this piece past the headline, he would join me in grading this source as worthless and from a heavily biased source. | ||
| 2023 article in the Guardian, so it's just this month. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
After the UK passed rules allowing English councils to fine people 300 pounds for using wood-burning stoves that cause smoke to affect neighbors, these councils have, quote, issued only 17 fines over six years, despite more than 18,000 complaints. | |
| But I guess it's good that Alex considers himself the tip of the spear because his research consists of skimming articles about air pollution written by fireplace salesmen. | ||
| I mean, you know, like, here's the thing. | ||
| I'm just, I think a lot of people forgot the worst parts of the Obama years weren't all of the, you know, war crimes and all that stuff. | ||
| The worst parts were when Republicans didn't have anything to be mad about for like a week. | ||
| And then you got brown suit anger that lasted for a week, and you're like, oh, how dare he wear? | ||
| Yeah, whatever it is. | ||
| You know, like, oh, how dare this? | ||
| I'm not doing it. | ||
| I'm not doing stoves. | ||
| They're bad for you, and if you want to keep yours, fucking fine. | ||
| I'm not doing stoves. | ||
| It's a tough fight to get excited about. | ||
| I'm just not doing stoves, man. | ||
| So the next article that Alex uses is from Construction Dive, and this article was published in 2015. | ||
| The headline is, quote, San Francisco Bay Area bans wood-burning devices in all new home construction. | ||
| This is a blog geared at delivering the latest news in the world of construction, which I didn't realize was a big part of Alex's media diet, so much so that he's pulling out this eight-year-old article about San Francisco passing a regulation that prohibited wood-burning devices in new homes. | ||
| Honestly, that regulation sounds reasonable, and the article even discusses how you could get a gas fake log thing for your fireplace. | ||
| I don't understand how any of this has to do with the larger theme of trying to take away energy or fire's place in humanity. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, now, when Alex starts talking about Biden and the gas stove shit, he uses one CNN article that's just reporting that a member of the Consumer Product Safety Commission suggested a regulation that was worth considering. | ||
| But then he uses another headline, quote, Biden administration announces intent to ban gas stoves. | ||
| That headline is way more severe, and if you blink, you might miss the source on that, which might have been intentional. | ||
| The name of the outlet is just in the corner of the screen, and it zooms out of view pretty quick. | ||
| This is a post from the American Energy Alliance, which is a lobbying arm of the Institute for Energy Research. | ||
| The group has deep ties to the Koch family, between hundreds of thousands and probably millions of dollars of funding, and a former Koch oil lobbyist, Tom Pyle, at one time serving as president of both the American Energy Alliance and the Institute for Energy Research. | ||
| Long and short, this is an oil industry lobbying press release, and Alex is trying to pass it off to his audience as news or research. | ||
| Not a great look. | ||
| How many of these sources he's using are just PR shit from lobbyists in the fields that stand to make less money if climate change is taken seriously. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Seems shoddy. | ||
| You know, in some ways, I feel like that law, you know, the council's passed where it's like, oh, you can't run that, but they've only cited 17 tickets out of 18,000 complaints. | ||
| Like, I know Citizens United made all of this kind of dark money and all that stuff legal. | ||
| But, you know, we know that laws aren't as important if you don't do some certain things anyway, you know? | ||
| So I say we pelt them all with paint balloons. | ||
| Does that make sense? | ||
| See, are you suggesting that... | ||
| If we all throw paint balloons at lobbyists, then lobbyists will not exist. | ||
| I understand that the Supreme Court has a lot of power, but so does paint in balloons. | ||
| I don't know if law nullification would work on this one. | ||
| The paint balloon initiative you're trying to put forth. | ||
| It wasn't how they got rid of prohibition, but it might have been a good idea. | ||
| So all energy is going away. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| They want to take away all of our energy. | ||
| Energy is not just food you eat, but the machines that operate that actually help produce the food and produce the medicine. | ||
| And when you go after the energy, you go after the very prosperity of the population. | ||
| So I really intend to talk a lot about fire itself and energy at these fireside chats, but also so many other issues, because this is really the original television set. | ||
| And fire is what brought humans in to what we now know as the modern age and that long path. | ||
| I think that Alex and I might have a different definition of the modern age. | ||
| I mean, I don't think fire even brought us into the Bronze Age. | ||
| Fire just brought us into the, like, we grow corn age. | ||
| We can cook meat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| Don't get me wrong, fire's been important the whole time. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| On my stove, there's fire. | ||
| I'll tell you that right now. | ||
| I don't think the idea of saying that fire plays a big role in humanity is wrong. | ||
| That's not what I'm disputing, Alex. | ||
| No, understood. | ||
| I feel like we're starting both way too simple, and yet if we're going to start this simple, you might as well be like, the sun is fire. | ||
| We're gonna get to that later. | ||
| Oh my god, of course we are. | ||
| But, I was gonna scoff at Alex being like, the fire is the original TV, but then I flashback to how many times I've been at a bonfire. | ||
| And you just sat there and stared at it, just being like, yeah man, look at you doing all kinds of weird stuff. | ||
| No, I'll take fire over there. | ||
| And you know, people dance behind it, so you got shadows. | ||
| Practically a TV. | ||
| But then the other thing, too, is Alex is like, all our energy is going to be taken away. | ||
| And you want to make fun of it, obviously, but we're already out of diesel. | ||
| And we have been for two months or something? | ||
| Three months? | ||
| Why is no one reporting on the fact that we've been out of diesel for months? | ||
| We've been out of diesel for months now. | ||
| I do appreciate just that idea of like, oh, you know, fire. | ||
| You know, fire's like energy. | ||
| And you know energy? | ||
| We get energy from food. | ||
| And food is made from fire. | ||
| See, it all makes sense, man. | ||
| Like, we don't need your help. | ||
| This is fourth grade shit. | ||
| I know! | ||
| But... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Are we going to get into the water cycle next episode? | ||
| Carbon cycle is going to come up. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Look. | ||
| Alex has some ideas. | ||
| Some of them are bad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| All of them are bad. | ||
| But I kind of would like him to do this one. | ||
| I'm thinking about doing some shows, too, where I run the whole thing myself, just hit record, and sit in the dark with just a few candles and candlelight and talk about the nature of the world universe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you going to set up an OnlyFans and this is in your bathtub? | |
| And ambiance, the background. | ||
| So really what I'm trying to say is... | ||
| These special broadcasts and special shows and special documentaries are going to be experimental. | ||
| It's going to be experimental. | ||
| This is going to be prog podcasting. | ||
| Do you know what the most popular stream on Twitch and stuff is? | ||
| What? | ||
| Hot tub streams. | ||
| Women wearing swimsuits in hot tubs. | ||
| Answering questions for money. | ||
| I'm not going to say that there isn't a market for thick-necked bears. | ||
| I think he's got an idea. | ||
| Look, maybe, maybe not. | ||
| You've added the hot tub and bathtub aspect to this. | ||
| I mean, that's the next step. | ||
| I think it would just be so much fun for Alex to be sitting there alone with candles and just saying a bunch of nonsense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What is he doing with it? | |
| He's gonna be drunk as hell. | ||
| Why does he think this is a good idea? | ||
| When did he have this idea and was like, nope, that one's gotta come out of my mouth? | ||
| He's gonna be drunk as shit, alone. | ||
| His breath is gonna be a fire risk. | ||
| That's how drunk he's gonna be. | ||
| Stay away from the candle. | ||
| Every time he coughs, there's a massive explosion. | ||
| So anyway, I would love that. | ||
| I can't wait. | ||
| Fire breathing, chat. | ||
| I'm so excited. | ||
| When you have someone who's an idiot who also decides that he wants to get experimental, that's... | ||
| It's the best. | ||
| Speaking of fire, that's when you're cooking with gas. | ||
| That's, like, so good. | ||
| He's gonna have such bad ideas, and maybe he'll do them. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| I know, it's exciting. | ||
| But he has another idea, and then this ends kind of abruptly. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| A lot of it will be straight up news analysis around temple discussions, but I intend to make a lot of it something different. | ||
| Maybe I'll climb a mountain and do a podcast from the top. | ||
| Maybe I'll go speak at a school board meeting and interview all the people that are there and really get the feel of why parents are so upset. | ||
| But I want to get out in the world, out there with the people and outside the studio. | ||
| So that's what's happening at... | ||
| AlexJonesLive.com. | ||
| And don't forget, everybody that goes to AlexJonesLive.com and puts in your email will get a one-month free membership. | ||
| And all founding member coin purchasers at 1776coin.com will get a free membership and a lot of other benefits that are on the way. | ||
| So be sure to get the few final coins that are left in the Teddy Roosevelt series, the final series. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| The founding member at 1776coin.com. | ||
| That's pretty disappointing. | ||
| Like, the first fireside chat that Alex did is just an ad for the website that the fireside chats are on. | ||
| If it was supposed to get me interested, I'm afraid that it failed. | ||
| I have no idea what Fire's Place in Humanity is, and I can only really get so excited for Alex drunkenly rambling in a room full of candles. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Kind of excited, but only so excited. | ||
| It'd be great, but... | ||
| Certainly not worth a paywall. | ||
| I'm not gonna anticipate it. | ||
| No, also, this could backfire really badly on Alex, because if he's just giving away Free memberships to people. | ||
| Like, this could rack up pretty serious, like, bandwidth costs, and then if everybody cancels after that month... | ||
| That's not good. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I like the idea that now, he sounds so much like that stereotypical post-political career kind of talk of like, you know what? | ||
| Now that I'm done with politics, I'm going to write my memoir. | ||
| And then, you know, like three months later, there's somebody who needs to be hit with a paint balloon, you know? | ||
| Like, that's how it really goes. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| Now that I'm free of being a millionaire and running my own business and saying whatever the fuck I want on air for 20 years. | ||
| Now I can say whatever the fuck I want. | ||
| Now I'm free. | ||
| What? | ||
| You are the least free person in the history of the world. | ||
| But maybe I'm judging the fire too quickly. | ||
| Could be. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe. | |
| You don't even know how important it is to humanity. | ||
| No, I don't. | ||
| And we're never gonna know. | ||
| But maybe we should give this a second try. | ||
| Thankfully, Alex has a second fireside chat posted on the site. | ||
| And this one's a little bit longer. | ||
| The first one was like three minutes, and this one's about nine. | ||
| And the title is some real clickbait bullshit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| The ultimate secret to prosperity. | ||
| I want your 2023 predictions before we even get to this shit. | ||
| Not gonna get it. | ||
| And you're not gonna get the ultimate secret to prosperity. | ||
| What's the secret of 2017? | ||
| Uh, Megyn Kelly. | ||
| Ah, shit. | ||
| The secret to prosperity is basically, um... | ||
| Hey, isn't the fossil fuel industry cool? | ||
| Yeah, boy! | ||
| So in this fireside chat, Alex is no longer by his home fireplace. | ||
| He's now outside in a snowy landscape in front of a large open-air fire pit. | ||
| The snow leads me to believe that this is not in Austin, and the fact that this is clearly a gas fire pit and it's outdoors lead me to suspect that none of the regulations Alex was complaining about in the last chat even apply to this one at all. | ||
| That does seem interesting. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They are coming for them, though. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| They want to get rid of fire. | ||
| Hey, use them while you got them. | ||
| That's what I say about your ovens. | ||
| So this one's a little strange. | ||
| Alex never says where he is. | ||
| He's just in the middle of snow. | ||
| And it seems to begin in the middle of a thought. | ||
| Like, this felt in media res. | ||
| So you see, leftist followers... | ||
| Well, that's how you start in the middle of thought. | ||
| They are helping bring in total corporate discrimination, or siege. | ||
| an act of war to cut off Western Europe, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada's energy, but that every other country and every other major country What is this country's happening? | ||
| What is this country's happening? | ||
| And then the taxes off of what carbon we're allowed to use are paid into private mercantile carbon trading systems literally owned by Bill Gates, the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, and others. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Bill Clinton, Al Gore, they're all huge investors and even own part of the company's large pieces. | ||
| I'm starting to notice a trend here, and I wonder if all of these fireside chats are just going to be about saying nonsense about energy policy and spouting oil and coal lobbyist talking points. | ||
| It does feel like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Maybe there's something there. | ||
| Also, did he just run through the snow to get to this fireside chat? | ||
| Yeah, why is he breathing so hard? | ||
| It's unsettling. | ||
| Maybe the air is thin and you shouldn't podcast on the top of a mountain. | ||
| I don't think it's a good idea. | ||
| Oh, and not for nothing, that Nazi lawyer, Kirk Lyons, ran a legal organization geared to defending Nazis called the Patriot Defense Foundation, which changed its name in 1991 to CAUSE, which stood for Canada, Australia, the U.S., South Africa, and Europe, because those were the places that he felt white people were under attack. | ||
| Pretty neatly matches up with Alex's conception. | ||
| of where the globalists are attacking. | ||
| Just swap out South Africa for New Zealand. | ||
| And I honestly think New Zealand's only even on the list because there were some COVID mask protests there that Alex made a big deal out of recently, so it's on the top of his mind. | ||
| This may seem like a small point, but it's not. | ||
| The patriot community and that ideology that Alex was surrounded by and educated by as a child involved a conception of these countries and areas as places where the Jews were attacking the white people. | ||
| And it's not surprising that Alex preaches to his audience that a very similar area happens to be where the globalists Mm-hmm. | ||
| Seems like a little parallel there. | ||
| Nazis really don't come up with new ideas. | ||
| A lot of it's derivative. | ||
| They're very focused. | ||
| Leaving all that aside, what Alex is saying is nonsense word salad that means nothing. | ||
| Which carbon trading systems are those that are literally owned by the Rothschilds and Bill Gates? | ||
| The ones that are. | ||
| I've never heard Alex say anything concrete on this front other than his exaggerations about Al Gore and that shit. | ||
| I like bringing Bill Clinton back in. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| Couldn't hurt. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What are these mercantile systems where the taxes on carbons we use get sent? | ||
| What are those? | ||
| Talk more about that. | ||
| They're interstellar dogs. | ||
| I suspect that Alex has no idea how these carbon exchanges even operate and he's just making shit up. | ||
| Making it seem scary, and then throwing some of his favorite boogeyman names in in order to pop the crowd, as they say in wrestling. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I imagine he talks a lot about how the oil industry is making record profits this year. | ||
| Not once does he mention it. | ||
| He doesn't mention that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| But it seems like if his point is that energy is under attack and all that stuff, then they should be posting losses. | ||
| They should be like, oh, and especially the government shouldn't be subsidizing them, right? | ||
| The government is not subsidizing them. | ||
| Get this. | ||
| They are losing money. | ||
| And... | ||
| The government doesn't subsidize them. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| So when they say they made $40 billion in profits, and then you look in the law and they're like, we subsidized this so they don't even have to pay shit. | ||
| We can talk about this later, but first, come to my candle room where I will tell you about the universe. | ||
| Okay, you're right. | ||
| I've forgotten exactly what we were talking about. | ||
| Take me into the candle room, sir. | ||
| So anyway, Alex has an allegory that I think is just an analogy, and I don't even know if it's that. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So here's a great allegory. | ||
| We're out here in the freezing cold. | ||
| Cheap, plentiful natural gas allows this amazing fire for us to warm our hands. | ||
| Just like the sun gives almost all of the energy to the earth that we need for life to be sustainable. | ||
| So, again, if certain countries couldn't have the sun and other countries could have the sun, would that be discriminatory? | ||
| Well, if certain countries can't have natural gas and oil and coal, that's also very discriminatory. | ||
| So this is really an act of war. | ||
| And we've been convinced that, oh, it's for the earth, oh, fossil fuels are bad. | ||
| It's just not true. | ||
| The very same big multinational corporations have been suppressing a lot of new systems of energy that are... | ||
| mid 90s with geoengineering, they've now declassified. | ||
| He's running a planetary program to practice blacking out the sun for certain countries. | ||
| If you're listening to Alex and you believe him, you have to think the villains he talks about are the stupidest bunch of folks with the most contradictory and self-conflicting plans. | ||
| Well, I mean, the Simpsons did it. | ||
| It would be really, really difficult to take any of these villains seriously if you thought about it for just a second. | ||
| Ah, okay. | ||
| All of these plans are scary one at a time, but once you start combining them and realize that time is real, that we are all living within a reality... | ||
| Right. | ||
| That we share, too. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, you can't be in your own and I get to be in another one. | ||
| Right, and the plot to block out the sun in various countries runs concurrently with COVID. | ||
| There are other nefarious plans that are supposed to be... | ||
| It's a little silly. | ||
| If you're going to tell me that somebody's going to block out the sun for various countries, you have to give me one way that they could do that. | ||
| That I can sink my teeth into. | ||
| So say you're going to put a satellite or some sort of mirror as a satellite around Earth that perfectly orbits at exactly the same speed as a certain country at a certain angle always to block out the power of the sun, right? | ||
| Yeah, but what he's doing is he's just taking this headline, Bill Gates wants to cover the sun to help counter global warming. | ||
| There's a headline there. | ||
| There's no indication of where this article is from, which isn't a great sign. | ||
| I'm not 100% sure on it, but I think it's from a January 2021 article from the Greenwich Times, which itself is just covering an article in Forbes about Bill Gates. | ||
| The Forbes article itself is just an op-ed that is more or less a flight of fancy about research that aims to experiment with potential ways to stop ozone loss, which is scary because Bill Gates provided some of the funding. | ||
| So the claim Alex has made is that it's been declassified that Bill Gates is running a planetary geoengineering program to practice selectively turning off the sun in various countries. | ||
| And that's the backing that he provides for it. | ||
| I did not find that persuasive. | ||
| I would prefer all those types of headlines. | ||
| Just be like, rich people, pretend problem isn't there! | ||
| That is the way I think those should go. | ||
| Like, I understand, great, Bill Gates is investing in a thing that won't solve the problem. | ||
| That's very lovely for everybody. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But, yeah. | ||
| But I want to talk about that analogy that Alex made. | ||
| No, the allegory that he made. | ||
| It wasn't an allegory. | ||
| Oh, no, it was. | ||
| I think he just wants to sound smart. | ||
| Saying the word allegory makes you sound smart. | ||
| It's a dumb analogy. | ||
| Alex is saying that putting regulations on various forms of energy is the equivalent of depriving a certain country of the sun. | ||
| Obviously, this isn't comparable in any way, but it does raise an interesting question. | ||
| Why don't most houses heat themselves with coal anymore? | ||
| It was once a dominant home heating method, but according to NPR, by 2019, only 130,000 households in the United States use coal for heat. | ||
| That represents less than one-tenth of one percent of homes. | ||
| And it's because burning coal in the home sucked. | ||
| It created heat really well, but it was disgusting and toxic, and once other heating methods were discovered and popularized, shit got updated. | ||
| That's what's going on again now. | ||
| People are reassessing if the things that we accepted as normal are as safe as we think. | ||
| Alex is in a full-on tailspin about this stuff because he has strong feelings about the oil and coal industries for some reason. | ||
| It could be that he has secret backing, or it could be just as easy that the case that everyone in the right-wing media does. | ||
| They have that backing, and they're all pushing out the coal and oil lobby talking points as bedrock elements of right-wing political ideology, so Alex knows that he has to follow along. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's almost like if you were a massive industry that wanted to make record profits, then... | ||
| What you would do is buy a bunch of TV people to put out propaganda to make it so that people whose interests you're actively fighting against will support you as a matter of their own religion. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| That would be smart. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| No, I mean, it's impressive. | ||
| What's not is Alex's work that he's doing here. | ||
| It's real bad. | ||
| And honestly, let's be clear. | ||
| This isn't Alex. | ||
| It's one of his employees who just Googles the keywords they need to find a headline that looks kind of like it backs up Alex's claim, and then they pat themselves on the back and say, job well done, hooray. | ||
| And why would they try harder? | ||
| No one in the audience gives a shit if the sources are blogs commenting on op-eds and press releases by big business lobbyists. | ||
| If I were the person doing this lazy work at InfoWars, I would stop and ask myself why exactly that was the case. | ||
| Like, why is it that when you're hunting for these headlines, these are the places you find them? | ||
| And then ask yourself, why does the audience not give a shit if you do your job well or not? | ||
| You do not understand people. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| Because the answer to your question is that that question has never arisen. | ||
| Here's the answer to your question. | ||
| Pat on the back. | ||
| You know why they believe him? | ||
| I'm so fucking good. | ||
| All I have to do is Google something. | ||
| All I have to do is this stuff. | ||
| That's how good I am. | ||
| That's the way the human brain works. | ||
| And it's been admitted. | ||
| It's so obvious that... | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Lobbyist website. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| $80,000 a year for a Google machine. | ||
| Anyway, buddy, we need energy. | ||
| So we need energy. | ||
| We need the sun. | ||
| We need volcanic energy. | ||
| We need hydrothermal energy. | ||
| We need hydroelectric energy. | ||
| We need fossil fuel energy. | ||
| We can take all these energies and make them extremely clean. | ||
| In fact, we've made them clean. | ||
| But now we're being told we can't have them at all. | ||
| This is, of course, total bullshit. | ||
| David Rockefeller wrote an op-ed in the New York Times in 1973 called From a China Traveler that Alex constantly lies about. | ||
| It is true that he says this in the article. | ||
| Quote, The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history. | ||
| The social experiment he's talking about is the process of shifting from a long-standing policy of largely inward focus to one that involves the rest of the world. | ||
| And that does seem... | ||
| Fairly important. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's a lot of criticism you could lob at Rockefeller for this op-ed, and it's unclear how much he was aware about Mao's leadership qualities, his lesser leadership qualities. | ||
| But one thing that does bear mentioning is that the op-ed also included some critical thoughts. | ||
| For instance, it recognizes some negative things like, quote, Like, there is a not-just-total-positive image that Rockefeller paints in that op-ed. | ||
| Either way, it's quite important to note that the Great Reset and the Great Leap Forward are completely different things with completely different goals and ideas. | ||
| They both have the word great in them, and Alex can use them to scare the audience, but they aren't related. | ||
| The Great Leap Forward was a plan that Mao put into place to quickly industrialize China beginning in the late 50s. | ||
| The Great Reset is not even a solid plan, but a call from Klaus Schwab to consider how coming technological advances will be disruptive to the status quo. | ||
| And we should be able to rise to the challenge that they present. | ||
| I would actually argue that there is a decent position you could stake that the Great Leap Forward is antithetical. | ||
| To the ideas of the Great Reset. | ||
| In as much as it was about industrialization as quickly as possible, ramping up steel production, and the consequences of that from an ecological perspective are huge. | ||
| Whereas a great deal of the focus, especially the people like Alex point to, in terms of Great Reset-related ideas, have to do with diminishing this impact. | ||
| And this negative ecological damage. | ||
| Yeah, I could definitely see that. | ||
| I think, on the other hand, I would not be surprised if there was a similar point of view being expressed so far as, like, listen, we are not where we fucking need to be. | ||
| Let's take a look around. | ||
| Are we where we need to be? | ||
| No, we are fucking not. | ||
| Okay, yeah. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| There's a certain part of that that I can see, but that's not prescriptive. | ||
| That's just saying, like, hey, we gotta fucking change this shit. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| If you want to go that basic, I'll give you that in terms of a similarity, but that does not make them... | ||
| 100%. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I think Alex just is freestyling here out by the fire. | ||
| It does seem that way. | ||
| So there's a jump cut. | ||
| Here. | ||
| Alex is now no longer. | ||
| So he can't say whatever it is he wants to say is what you're saying? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It's not that glaring. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| He finishes a thought, but then it goes to him no longer by the fire. | ||
| He's now standing by a tree covered in snow. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And he's on to another thought. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Meteorologists are reporting winners in North America in many, many decades. | ||
| But that doesn't stop the left from saying we have global warming and so you need to turn over control of all oil, all gas, all natural resources to them because, again, carbon is a bad thing. | ||
| Think about that. | ||
| You're made up out of carbon. | ||
| The life cycle on this planet is the sun, water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen. | ||
| You've got to have those four things for life. | ||
| And they've named one of them toxic and bad. | ||
| No one's saying that CO2 is evil or bad, just that excessive amounts of it are. | ||
| Alex's argument is against a complete straw man, because that argument doesn't exist. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alex constantly brings up the carbon cycle and says that it describes the sun, CO2, oxygen, and water being the things that are needed to have life on the planet. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| This isn't exactly true. | ||
| I mean, it is true that you need those things to have life, but the carbon cycle itself is an argument against Alex's idea about energy consumption. | ||
| It is true that the carbon cycle includes those things, and as much as plants take in CO2 to do photosynthesis and the oceans absorb CO2 from the air, some of which is then released into the air by the sun's energy, evaporating water and the like, this is a generous explanation of the carbon cycle meant to accommodate Alex and his points. | ||
| But even so, the cycle relies on equilibrium. | ||
| If way more CO2 is being released into the atmosphere than the atmosphere can reintegrate into the cycle, like being absorbed by plants, that's an issue. | ||
| This is where our human involvement in the carbon cycle comes into play, which Alex just ignores. | ||
| It's because we burn all these fossil fuels, and by doing so we contribute tons more CO2 into the cycle than the cycle can handle, and thus it ends up in the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas. | ||
| Even if everything Alex is saying about his description of the carbon cycle is true, it does nothing to rebut the arguments of climate scientists. | ||
| It can be the same cycle Alex is describing, but one side of the equation is totally out of balance, and that has consequences. | ||
| You know, the thing about cycles is that all cycles are based on equilibrium. | ||
| Because if a wheel suddenly loses like a big chunk of the wheel... | ||
| Like, it stops being a wheel, you know? | ||
| And that's how cycles work, too. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Or like balancing equations. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's no longer an equation if it's not balanced. | ||
| Also, do we need air? | ||
| Like, what are we talking about? | ||
| If we're going to start being like, oh, you need the sun, water, CO2 in this. | ||
| No, you also need oxygen. | ||
| You also need fucking nitrogen. | ||
| You also need all this shit for a breathable atmosphere. | ||
| If you go back in time several hundred million years to the dinosaurs, there's so much CO2 that the plants would rise up, but human beings would be able to fucking survive because there's too much CO2. | ||
| Do you want to add that to your fucking conversation about CO2? | ||
| We're not doing this! | ||
| Here's my idea for the carbon cycle. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| CO2. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oxygen. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Water. | ||
| All right. | ||
| The sun. | ||
| Survivor Australia. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| This is the carbon cycle. | ||
| There's a lot of carbon in this cycle. | ||
| So energy is cheaper in China, I guess. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And so they're saying all U.S. power plants that put off any type of carbon dioxide... | ||
| Must be banned and shut down, even though we have the cleanest plants in the world. | ||
| China has no controls on their plants and has energy about 20% the cost of ours when it comes from coal power. | ||
| I have no idea where Alex is getting that stat from about China's power when it comes to coal, that it's 20% cheaper than here. | ||
| Does he mean he's comparing the price of China's coal? | ||
| to ours. | ||
| This is too convolutedly delivered to even be taken seriously as something to address, so I'm gonna leave it alone. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Also, I have no idea what Alex is talking about in terms of China having no limitations on their power. | |
| They have an incredibly ambitious set of goals about implementing renewable energy sources with some sources saying that they're on track to have over a third of electricity consumption come from renewables within like 10 years. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It It's ridiculous. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's kind of like a great leap forward, huh? | ||
| In August 2021, the regulators at China's National Energy Administration got in trouble after the agency was audited and accused of, quote, prioritizing energy supply as well as the profits of energy enterprises over the protection of the environment. | ||
| A major part of that was that they, quote, failed to control new coal-fired power capacity. | ||
| There are a ton of problems with China and I'm not signing off on everything or even a lot of what the government does, but it's a bit ridiculous to point to their energy strategy and pretend that there are no controls on it. | ||
| In fact, I don't think it's that out of sync to say that they've taken something of a leadership role internationally in terms of their climate policy. | ||
| Of course, of all the things that we can talk shit about China for, they regulate two things better than the United States by a wide margin, and that's energy and their markets. | ||
| They are far more regulatory about that shit. | ||
| Yeah, and I would... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I'm no expert on anything, but they seem to care about energy. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| So, Elon Musk, right? | ||
| He's in the energy game. | ||
| Paint balloons. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| If we don't have cheap electricity, you can't have factories and businesses and industries here in the United States. | ||
| That's why Elon Musk announced yesterday to the Texas Railroad Commission that runs oil and gas drilling that he's going to drill super deep wells all around his space launch bases that he just so happened to put his bases at, knowing he needs his own fuel in the future. | ||
| But if Obama has his way, those new permits will not be issued. | ||
| Did you hear what I just had to say? | ||
| Did we time travel? | ||
| Is Obama in play? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Either Alex is just for no reason complaining about Obama, or it could be, like, you know, sometimes he'll say that Biden is the third term of Obama. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| He'll say that, but, like, it did seem to, even understanding that part of Alex's ideas, it still came out of left field. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I was very confused. | ||
| Yeah, that's weird. | ||
| Hey, man. | ||
| People like to complain about Obama. | ||
| It gets Alex's base really angry. | ||
| They get worked up about it in a way that they just really can't quite get the same kind of anger for Biden. | ||
| I wonder why that is. | ||
| I can't think of any particular difference between the two of them that would incend right-wing people more than a... | ||
| Yeah, never mind. | ||
| Regardless, Elon Musk is digging for oil. | ||
| Or more accurately, he announced that two years ago and Alex is just pretending it happened the other day. | ||
| Maybe Alex just heard about it. | ||
| Tomorrow's news, baby. | ||
| Possible. | ||
| Alex should really be mad about this, because probably to offset some of the press he was getting about it, Musk announced on Twitter that he was offering $100 million for whoever came up with the best carbon capture technology. | ||
| According to Alex, we need to release carbon into the atmosphere to save the planet, and God put the carbon there for us to find so we could save ourselves at this precise moment in time. | ||
| Here's Elon Musk offering $100 million for someone to find ways to stop us from... | ||
| Yeah, I'm a big fan of how nobody wants to do the thing that would help and be like, hey, oil industries, you're regulated now. | ||
| Like, nobody wants to do that. | ||
| Everybody's like, I'll give you $100 million for a sign that says we're free! | ||
| Like, okay, I mean, what are we doing? | ||
| Stop this. | ||
| Stop billionaires from having thoughts. | ||
| Make their thoughts go away. | ||
| Do we have machines that take their brains? | ||
| $100 million for a paint balloon that gets rid of thoughts. | ||
| Yes, exactly! | ||
| I will give you $100 million for said pink. | ||
| It's too bad Tesla isn't around anymore. | ||
| He could totally figure that out. | ||
| Anyway, Obama in his third term, I mean Biden, shut down the Keystone Pipeline, man. | ||
| In World War II, when British and U.S. bombers began to retake Europe, the first thing they did was bomb oil refineries, pipelines, and power... | ||
| Well, day one, Joe Biden, hours after being sworn in, after being installed as the presidential dictator by the communist Chinese, shut down the Keystone pipeline that's already completed from Canada down to Port Arthur, Texas, that was set to bring in, that was about to be opened, 30 million barrels of oil a day out of Canada, cementing the U.S. as the number one energy exporter in the world. | ||
| But instead, that being shut down now... | ||
| Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, along with Soros, own and control the railway that goes out to the west coast of Canada where the giant Chinese tankers will now load the oil and take it to China. | ||
| What? | ||
| This is profoundly stupid and honestly should be seen as an indication that Alex doesn't know very basic facts or is intentionally misleading the audience in order to get them to blindly support the fossil fuel industry. | ||
| As for the Keystone pipeline, there are a couple important things to bring up here. | ||
| The first is that Biden revoked the permit for an expansion of the Keystone pipeline. | ||
| There's an existing system in place that transports tar sand oil to refineries. | ||
| The leg of the expansion that Alex is talking about, the one that ends in Port Arthur, Texas, was actually completed and is in operation. | ||
| It's just called the Gulf Coast Pipeline, so Alex doesn't... | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| It's related or it exists. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| What was at issue, and the aspect of the pipeline that most people are aware of is the Northern Lake, which would have cut through Nebraska, South Dakota, and Montana. | ||
| It's a completely different section of it that did not get completed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And, I mean, just, it's staggering that Alex, he brings up Port Arthur, Texas, and he doesn't even know that that is done, and there's oil in them. | ||
| Well, I mean, that doesn't make you angry. | ||
| True. | ||
| Second, Alex's number is incredibly exaggerated. | ||
| Oh, what? | ||
| The entire country of Canada produces less than 6 million barrels of oil a day, so the notion that this pipeline would be transporting 30 million a day is absurd. | ||
| Third, the response to the expansion being cancelled has not been to transport by rail this shit to China. | ||
| That's so dumb. | ||
| We're talking about tar sand oil from Alberta here, which is... | ||
| Very difficult to transport, except it's slightly easier through pipes. | ||
| It would not be economically viable to transport the tar sand by rail and then send by boat to China who would then still have to refine it to make it usable as an energy source. | ||
| It's in nobody's financial interest to do that. | ||
| Alex knows nothing about the Keystone Pipeline. | ||
| He's just repeating oil lobby talking points, either because he's told to or because he sees all his friends doing it. | ||
| And he's virtue signaling that he's one of them. | ||
| He's one of those people who will do anything in life. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| You're way off here, okay? | ||
| This is all a plan by the hobo lobby. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| Okay? | ||
| Because the rails aren't being used as much anymore. | ||
| Passenger trains, they're closed all the way from the outside. | ||
| Those oil trains, that's where you get your bindle, and you get yourself a good time. | ||
| And from what I understand, the hobo lobby is strongly against bullet trains. | ||
| Strongly against bullet trains. | ||
| They have been coming out against bullet trains for a long time. | ||
| You can't jump on those. | ||
| Nope, nope. | ||
| I had a couple friends who jumped trains for a while back in Missouri. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Not close friends, but they were constantly on trains. | ||
| Yeah, you couldn't get close to them. | ||
| They were too far away. | ||
| Yeah, they were pretty fun, though. | ||
| I believe it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I always wanted to go along one time, but then I realized, like, there's no way I'd follow through with it. | ||
| No. | ||
| Except, in my head, I was imagining the train going faster than it probably was. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| It probably was going incredibly slow when you jump on it. | ||
| I had the idea when I was probably, like, 17. I had the idea I was going to walk to Champaign, Illinois. | ||
| I had this while I was 100% normal, for sure. | ||
| So I walked for like five hours. | ||
| And then I realized that the final walk was going to be another couple of days. | ||
| And I was like, I don't think I'm going to make this. | ||
| That's the way I would feel if I got on the train. | ||
| But the problem with that is then I wouldn't be able to be like, well, fellas, I'm off. | ||
| I'm still on this train. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, well. | ||
| So, China, they're out of pocket. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| This is just weird. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| China's refusing to sign on to the Paris Accords. | ||
| So are other countries. | ||
| And so it's going to be impossible to develop any more here. | ||
| Wait, is that good or bad? | ||
| And that's why they call it the Chinese Communist Century. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| That's why Xi Jinping is celebrating helping get Joe Biden in through fraud because this is real military conquest. | ||
| Now, right over here, there's a local hotel where we're hanging out here in America's beautiful mountains. | ||
| It's a perfect allegory of what energy does. | ||
| I'm sorry, what? | ||
| What plentiful, cheap fossil fuel energy does versus not having it. | ||
| So this is really a stranglehold on our energy supplies and incredibly destructive and incredibly dangerous. | ||
| And it'll cause a lot of people to lose their jobs, become very, very poor in the United States. | ||
| But that's part of the Great Reset that Klaus Schwab and others want. | ||
| I guess the allegory is that it's warm inside and it's cold outside. | ||
| I mean, I feel like the closest I could get to an allegory out of this is the allegory is the story of Alex with a fire and Alex without a fire, thereby showing us a very similar... | ||
| But even then, that would be synecdoche. | ||
| That wouldn't be an allegory. | ||
| I am at a loss for any hidden meaning. | ||
| So also this is nonsense. | ||
| China was an original state party of the Paris Agreement and has been signed on to it since 2016. | ||
| Oh, that makes sense. | ||
| We are the ones who withdrew from it for a few months at the end of Trump's term in office and then rejoined when Biden got in. | ||
| I remember that. | ||
| Good times. | ||
| Alex is just talking shit. | ||
| You know, it's great to virtue signal as a country and destroy the world. | ||
| So Alex talks some shit to end this thing. | ||
| This is... | ||
| I don't even know what to say. | ||
| So again, we have got to move against traitors in Congress with the political truth. | ||
| And we have to support those in Congress that are actually exposing this before our main energy systems are shut down. | ||
| This is going to become very, very apparent in the next few months as the economy implodes because the word is out America is closed for business. | ||
| We have to stop this treachery. | ||
| The word is out? | ||
| Who got the word? | ||
| The word is out. | ||
| Who got the word out? | ||
| The newsies. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Now that the word is out, I don't know if there's anything anyone can do to stop it. | ||
| So I was reflecting on the fireside chat. | ||
| That's what they're for. | ||
| I mean, this is supposed to be about the secret to prosperity. | ||
| I forgot! | ||
| If I had to sum it up, I would say that the secret for prosperity is using bullshit sources and lies to prop up fossil fuel industry talking points. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Seems to be the long and short of this video, and if the title is to be believed, that's the only conclusion I can come to from the material presented. | ||
| I love the idea... | ||
| Two fireside chats, both very heavily involving tons of fossil fuel bullshit, and sources directly from fireplace and oil lobby. | ||
| You know, if I were an oil lobby... | ||
| And it just came out that we had secured record profits on the... | ||
| What essentially is the future deaths of millions of people. | ||
| We get money for it. | ||
| You would want somebody to tell people that actually you're the victim here. | ||
| Otherwise, they might get mad. | ||
| True. | ||
| But also, if you make that much money, you know, treat yourself. | ||
| Yeah, buy yourself an Alex. | ||
| Yeah, maybe it's a bad investment, but, you know, it's a cheap day. | ||
| You gotta write off. | ||
| It's unhealthy, but, you know, it's like cake. | ||
| It's a little bit like eating a double down. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I would say that in the same way Alex is saying word is out that the nation is closed for business, some of this seems to be signaling that he's open for business. | ||
| That's kind of a feeling that you might walk away from these fireside chats with. | ||
| It's a little excessive. | ||
| Was one of the video titled, Services for Sale? | ||
| Please? | ||
| So we get to the podcast now. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And... | ||
| I mean, it's just him sitting at a desk. | ||
| Honestly, here's the deal. | ||
| It's not that much different than his show, except there's no energy. | ||
| Well, he doesn't have ideas. | ||
| I mean, obviously, except for being in the dark with candles. | ||
| And there's another one that comes up on this episode that is so much better, and if he does it, I'll watch every single thing that he does of it. | ||
| We'll get to that in a second. | ||
| But, like, what is he gonna do? | ||
| I mean, he has one mode, and it's... | ||
| Just him. | ||
| He just lies about headlines. | ||
| Is it him by himself? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, Mike Adams shows up eventually. | ||
| Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And then Santilli lays... | ||
| Is it the length of his show? | ||
| It's two hours. | ||
| So he's doing a shorter version of his show. | ||
| Pete Santilli shows up at the end, too, but we're not going to listen to any of that because I don't give a shit about that guy. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| And it's mostly just him being like, Alex, you woke me up. | ||
| You're going back to your roots. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| You're going back to your roots. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Alright, here we go. | ||
| So yeah, I mean, he's just sitting in his home studio doing his show, but without the appearance of success. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, like, there is such a veneer to the Infowars studio, the giant screen in the background, the... | ||
| 100 cameras or whatever the fuck. | ||
| All the angles. | ||
| There's money there. | ||
| And granted, the studio looks fine. | ||
| It doesn't look cheap or anything. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But it does kind of... | ||
| In the age we are now with people on YouTube with really nice home studios, it's not impressive in any way. | ||
| And it doesn't have the same feeling. | ||
| It just... | ||
| And to go from a home studio like that to the InfoWars studio... | ||
| Makes sense. | ||
| But to go the other direction does kind of feel like you're not... | ||
| You wouldn't do that by choice, and I think we all know that. | ||
| Ah, yeah. | ||
| I think what's going on is if nobody that works for you has any professional ability... | ||
| Then your set should have a lot of professional ability behind it, you know? | ||
| That'll give you a veneer of professional ability. | ||
| He's got a couple people working. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He has a home studio that has a control room, apparently, that a couple people have to man. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| Do they sleep there? | ||
| I hope so. | ||
| Do they shop at the Alex Jones store? | ||
| Is it a company town? | ||
| Yeah, it's basically like Jim Baker's. | ||
| Yeah, it's his little compound. | ||
| It's about time. | ||
| Alex, go to the Ozarks. | ||
| Anyway, here's how it starts with a little ad of people saying how right Alex is about stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
*music* | |
| I'm glad for the first episode they didn't go with over raw. | ||
| Fight for Liberty starts now at AlexJonesLive.com. | ||
|
unidentified
|
*thud* you | |
| The most banned man in America, Alex Jones. | ||
| I want you all to know something. | ||
| Alex Jones was right. | ||
| Alex is right about far more than he's wrong. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alex has been right on for over a decade. | |
| I don't care how you slice it, dice it, flip it up, or rub it down. | ||
| Alex Jones was right. | ||
| Probably not a great sign for InfoWars that Alex has already recorded new bumpers for this new website. | ||
| Alex isn't good at that kind of admin work, and unless it's him doing his racist Chinese dragon character, it's tough to get him to record things around the office. | ||
| Like, he's constantly complaining about how he's forgotten to do the new ads. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So it seems notable that this is all ready to get locked and loaded. | |
| I'm surprised he's not trying to record his podcast simultaneously as he's doing his show the way he's like, okay, I'm going to cut this promo right now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He is lazy. | ||
| I love this intro of people saying that Alex is right. | ||
| Let's look who these people are. | ||
| This is a lot of fun. | ||
| Cavalcade-a-morons! | ||
| So first is Charlie Kirk, someone who Alex has attacked a ton in the past as one of the people who's in the Ben Shapiro-type soft conservative community. | ||
| Bygones be bygones! | ||
| The reason that Nick Fuentes came into Alex's life at all in the first place was largely because Nick and the Groypers were having a war with Kirk and Turning Point, so it's kind of funny to see him in this video. | ||
| Then there's MTG, who the far-right, who are Alex's fanbase, have turned against because she sided with Kevin McCarthy in the speakership fight. | ||
| She's now largely seen as a sellout by the extreme right wing, who much prefer Lauren Boebert's style of trolling. | ||
| Marjorie's white balloon shit with the State of the Union the other day was unspeakable levels of embarrassing. | ||
| Then there's Rogan, who won't have Alex back on his show, and also is a complete idiot who's been caught relaying multiple fake stories in the past few months with at least one instance Yeah. | ||
| Is what I'm saying. | ||
| Then there's Mike Flynn. | ||
| Mike Flynn was an unregistered foreign agent while serving as Trump campaign's national security advisor, and he pled guilty to lying to the FBI about contacts he had with members of the Russian government, but then withdrew his plea and then got pardoned by Trump. | ||
| He's either willfully or negligently promoted a ton of QAnon conspiracies and now is championing a Christian fascist movement. | ||
| Oh, I'm sorry. | ||
| A Christian nationalist movement. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| Get it right, okay? | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| It's not like any veteran has ever led some sort of fascist group before in order to, like, facilitate some sort of coup. | ||
| It's like the opposite of Smedley Butler. | ||
| It is the opposite of Smedley Butler. | ||
| It's very much like, hey! | ||
| Fuck yeah! | ||
| If they came to Smedley Butler. | ||
| And then you have Diamond and Silk. | ||
| And Diamond just died last month, and the cause of the death was reported as chronic high blood pressure. | ||
| There was a rumor that she was hospitalized with COVID last November, but that's unverified and may not be the case. | ||
| But either way, if she was a liberal or a mainstream commentator who had been vaccinated, you better believe that the right wing would declare her death to be vaccine-related. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| And actually, Silk did kind of do that, implying that Diamond died because other people were vaccinated. | ||
| Other people got vaccinated! | ||
| And their vaccine was... | ||
| She got a contact high. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Also, I don't want to be a dick and play this here, but if you want to see a really bizarre scene, go check out Diamond's memorial service. | ||
| Silk explains that Trump was kind of like a father figure to them, and whenever they were around, he treated them just like family, like Don Jr. | ||
| We're like family. | ||
| And then Trump gets up and says that he was fond of Diamond, but he had never met Silk. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| He even says, quote, I thought I knew them both, but I didn't. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| It's completely insane. | ||
| She's sitting right there. | ||
| It's the memorial service. | ||
| Anyway, big old crop of losers saying that Alex has been right about stuff, which is a great way to start this off. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I enjoyed that a little bit. | ||
| That's wild. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That is wild. | ||
| There's so much... | ||
| There's so much about them that you go... | ||
| No, that can't be real. | ||
| That can't be real. | ||
| And if it was real, there's no way people would stick around after they saw that. | ||
| Like, there's no way that people would look at, say, some asshole in front of, not say the Four Seasons Hotel, but in front of, like, I don't know, some sort of Four Seasons, I don't know, like, landscaping company. | ||
| You know, something like that. | ||
| You'd see that and you'd go, well, there's no way he would survive that kind of embarrassment. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Them Duke boys. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So the show begins, and boy, if you had on your bingo card, Alex immediately makes clear that this isn't involved in free speech systems. | ||
| Good. | ||
| Check that one off the box. | ||
| Good, good, good, good. | ||
| Within 30 seconds. | ||
| How fast? | ||
| Well, and here we are, a new voyage, a new ship in the fight against tyranny launch and the information war. | ||
| AlexJonesLive.com. | ||
| Totally separate from InfoWars. | ||
| Other backers. | ||
| Other infrastructure. | ||
| Totally different studios. | ||
| It's in somebody else's name. | ||
| Studios is the operative word. | ||
| So it's Thursday, February 2nd. | ||
| All of the money will be theirs. | ||
| And this is my home studio. | ||
| Pretty, pretty. | ||
| Cool to make sure that that is on the record immediately, that this is legally distinct. | ||
| Just so everybody knows that whatever revenue this may or may not generate in the future is not part of the $1.5 billion that I owe. | ||
| This is owned by my uncle. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And he is actually part owner of a trust. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, whatever. | ||
| It's transparent in what's going on here. | ||
| The problem is he's too good at hiding money. | ||
| That's always been the issue. | ||
| You know, you put it in the AEJ Trust. | ||
| Who could figure out a puzzle of the Riddler's level? | ||
| Yeah, that is true. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, his middle initial is E, and it's not for Enigma. | ||
| It is not. | ||
| So, I told you there was going to be a great idea. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Mic down for this. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because this is the best idea ever. | ||
| You thought candlelight, Alex talking about the universe. | ||
| I didn't know if you could top that. | ||
| You can, and it's this. | ||
| You're going to see a lot of different things here. | ||
| In fact, it's my idea. | ||
| I am going to paint once a week on air, and I'm going to let callers call in. | ||
| We'll also take emails and request what you want to see me paint. | ||
| And then I'm going to sit here, kind of like Bob Ross, and I'm going to just paint, boom, in like 10 minutes, oil on canvas or acrylic on canvas, a painting. | ||
| I'm also, every episode, whether it's a podcast or whether it's a live stream, news analysis, or rant, going to draw a quick doodle. | ||
| Because the crew's noticed over the years, during the breaks, a lot of times I'm thinking I'll draw some interesting doodles. | ||
| I'm going to be doing that. | ||
| As well here. | ||
| I mean, obviously the idea is to sell them, right? | ||
| I mean, it's obviously to sell the paintings and doodles. | ||
| But he doesn't say that. | ||
| He just says, hey, big news, I'm gonna doodle. | ||
| I mean, you know, of all the things that I could have guessed, Alex's painting was just not one of them. | ||
| It just wasn't. | ||
| I will straight up say I will watch every single one of those. | ||
| And, you know, we try and encourage people not to call in and fuck with Alex. | ||
| That is off for the painting show. | ||
| Call in for any idea. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| You can make him paint anything. | ||
| We'll take it. | ||
| And if you want to make him mad while he's painting, by all means, troll him or fuck with him. | ||
| If you want to, I'm not encouraging it, but my whole thing about don't engage, all that stuff. | ||
| Completely separate from free speech systems. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| But I'm putting a temporary moratorium on I think people should mess with him while he does a painting show. | ||
| Because the image of how great that show could be if he's just getting mad while painting things is art. | ||
| It's beautiful. | ||
| It's Patton Oswalt's bit about the anti-Bob Ross who's telling the, Ah, my wife left me! | ||
| Ah, I hate my kids and my family! | ||
| And life could imitate art. | ||
| And I would love to see it. | ||
| I think it would be... | ||
| I will shift our entire focus to just talking about Alex's... | ||
| I will buy every single one of the paintings. | ||
| He's going to join the ranks of history's great painters. | ||
| You know, like W. Hitler. | ||
| So Alex apparently has two studios or maybe three. | ||
| I'm not entirely sure. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| Thanks to the grace of God and how popular freedom is, I want listeners to know, I'm going to continue InfoWars. | ||
| I'm going to continue Free Speech Systems. | ||
| I'm going to continue doing my daily show for three to four hours a day. | ||
| Owen Schroyer's going to stay on the air and do a great job. | ||
| So is Harrison Smith. | ||
| But just in case anybody thought I was going away, two studios in Austin are already set up separate from this one with outside groups, the whole nine yards, advertising, everything lined up. | ||
| I've just got to go in and do the shows. | ||
| And so if the enemy thinks taking me away from Free Speech Systems, Yeah, I don't think anybody thought that. | ||
| Also, I suspect these shows with advertisers lined up are just him creating a new business that doesn't appear to be linked to himself, which will run ads for the same businesses that InfoWars did. | ||
| Feel like that's what's going on? | ||
| I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of massive ad buy from one free speech systems. | ||
| Or PQPR. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| We need to buy $600 million worth of ad space for this live show. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| This new business that is totally unrelated to you is really doing well with your dad's supplement business. | ||
| Yeah, so weird. | ||
| It's also weird to hear him say free speech systems on air. | ||
| That isn't very common. | ||
| It's almost like he's trying to be overly clear that this project isn't financially tied to that company that's bankrupt. | ||
| Yeah, good work, Barnes. | ||
| Yeah, this is a little obvious. | ||
| So Alex, not only does he have all these studios. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| So many studios. | ||
| You want a studio? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's got one for you. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Not redundancy. | ||
| Redundant. | ||
| Fair. | ||
| But he also has so many offers. | ||
| Everybody wants it. | ||
| I do not believe that. | ||
| I've got five offers, but four of them are to leave Austin and move to different parts of the country to be basically one of the big anchors or main pulls for the populist nationalist system that's exploding thanks to all of your work and my work and the crew's work. | ||
| And if I have to, I'll go do that. | ||
| But the best deals we've been offered, where I can actually have a good-sized crew and reporters and do a lot of things, still want me to be in those cities and My parents are in Austin. | ||
| My crew is in Austin. | ||
| I'm loyal to them, and I have no intention of doing that. | ||
| I also hate this city. | ||
| It's a pile of shit and demons. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I don't believe this for a second, but let's pretend and imagine that Alex isn't making this up. | ||
| I want to spitball around some ideas of what these offers could be. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Here are the major figures in this media space that could possibly offer Alex anywhere close to the amount of money he would be demanding. | ||
| And require him to move. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well... | |
| I'm just gonna go all across the board for now. | ||
| Go for it. | ||
| The Blaze, which you probably wouldn't have to move for, because I think that one is just, like, that's in Texas. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Daily Wire, OAN, and Frank Speech. | ||
| There just aren't other conservative networks that could be in his ballpark, except for maybe if you force it to get to five, you could say, like, right-side broadcasting, but I don't think they have the money. | ||
| The thing about four of them requiring them to move sounds like bullshit, and I don't even feel like entertaining it because it's more confusing than interesting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Alex and Glenn Beck could never coexist in the same business, so the Blaze is just not possible. | ||
| Also, they would have an advertiser exodus if they brought on Alex, so it's very unlikely. | ||
| Same problem with the Daily Wire. | ||
| They just had this big public falling out with Steven Crowder, and Alex is a hundred times more toxic than Crowder ever could be. | ||
| Signing on Alex, who actively hates multiple members of the Daily Wire team, is way more than it's worth, so I don't believe it's going to happen. | ||
| I wouldn't recommend it. | ||
| OAN and Frank's speech definitely seem possible. | ||
| Alex could become the main anchor at OAN until he has some kind of a disagreement with management and decides that they're the deep state embedded deep within OAN, and then he gets himself fired. | ||
| Max a month. | ||
| Frank's speech is a good fit, since Mike Lindell seems to have endless money and no standards, so that's a possibility. | ||
| Wouldn't need to move, though. | ||
| Everything is remote. | ||
| Then the other possibility is Rebel Media. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But they're not really... | ||
| I don't know if they could afford him. | ||
| I don't know what kind of money would be there. | ||
| If Bolsonaro had won, I think Alex could have a gig in Brazil. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because he's not going to be able to keep his money if he stays here. | ||
| Well, actually, you bring up a really interesting point, too. | ||
| In terms of being an expat, if Alex were to leave the U.S., he could make a better argument for Brazil than Canada. | ||
| Yeah, totally. | ||
| Going to Canada, I think, would be tough for a patriot like Alex, whereas he could say that Bolsonaro is leading this anti-globalist resistance, and he's going down to get himself a piece of it, be on the front lines and what have you. | ||
| He could do that. | ||
| Yeah, whereas going to Canada just doesn't seem... | ||
| Man, five years from now, we see him cold and sad on RT. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's... | |
| Interesting. | ||
| Reporting from Siberia, they don't like me as much here as I thought they would. | ||
| I honestly don't even think that's an option. | ||
| No, of course not. | ||
| Quite frankly, because for one, they used to have more of a relationship. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Alex doesn't go on RT these days. | ||
| I was being facetious. | ||
| I understand that, but you're bringing up another possible network, and so I'm just sort of walking through it. | ||
| I mean, would there be something possibly in the UK, in the Europe? | ||
| In the Europe. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like what? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know conservative right-wing outlets in Europe. | ||
| He's going to team up with Andrew Neal. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| Do it! | ||
| The UK needs you. | ||
| Piers Morgan and Alex Jones every night. | ||
| Also, a lot of backlash, and I never addressed this. | ||
| People are pretty pissed off that I didn't point out that Piers Morgan's show is not the top-rated show in the UK. | ||
| I understand that. | ||
| I thought that was understood. | ||
| Yeah, I thought I screamed or something along those lines. | ||
| So yeah, people were a little bit like, I cannot believe. | ||
| It happens, it happens. | ||
| So anyway, Alex needs money. | ||
| But we do need financing to pay for this, and so for the first few weeks, everything's going to be free at AlexJonesLive.com. | ||
| And still, a lot of the content will be free as well, as well as boil downs of what happens. | ||
| But for folks that want the complete behind the scenes, and people that want... | ||
| The special events and people that want the PowerPoints and people that want the deep analysis, that will be a monthly or yearly subscription so we can finance expanding all of this. | ||
| And this is all separate. | ||
| This is Alex Jones operation, me separately doing this. | ||
| This is separate. | ||
| This is not related to InfoWars. | ||
| This is not related to... | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| He might be saying that too much. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, he might as well be like, in case Mark or any bankruptcy lawyers aren't listening, this is unrelated to my other work. | ||
| Please do not file a motion asking for this to be considered. | ||
| For very specific legal reasons, this is separate from InfoWars. | ||
| Perhaps the most specific reasons in the history of making this separate from InfoWars. | ||
| Now, I think that there's an interesting question to be asked, and that is that... | ||
| In terms of the case, the judge in Texas was very clear that Infowars and Alex, Free Speech Systems and Alex, are one and the same as an entity. | ||
| That works one direction, but does it work the other? | ||
| Is Alex Free Speech Systems, even when he's acting outside of the auspices of... | ||
| If he starts a new business, is that business still really just Free Speech Systems? | ||
| If corporations have Free Speech, then Free Speech has Alex Jones. | ||
| I think that's the way... | ||
| Free Speech Systems has Alex Jones. | ||
| Damn, that's heavy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So anyway, we're getting the new Alex Jones show, apparently. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure! | |
| And at the end of this clip... | ||
| I think Alex dedicates the studio to us. | ||
| I could have done it without your support, but to have the studio in my house, control room, whole nine yards, satellite uplinks, radio uplinks, they're not activated. | ||
| I press one button, and I can do the new Alex Jones show, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Central. | ||
| That sounds similar. | ||
| Right here, out of this studio, where I got guests. | ||
| It reminds me of a previous show. | ||
| I just walked downstairs to a four-person podcast, classic podcast table like Joe Rogan and others have. | ||
| Remember when Joe came to my studios about 15 years ago to see how I was doing podcasting? | ||
| He thought, where do I get this? | ||
| Where do I do that? | ||
| And I'm not bragging. | ||
| It's just that we're kind of going back to our roots. | ||
| I'm not imitating Joe. | ||
| I'm coming back to what Joe was imitating. | ||
| I had to establish dominance there in case anyone was confused. | ||
| I just walked down to my interview there with people, walked right back up to the studio, and that's just one new head of the Hydra that's ready to go. | ||
| Two more are ready to go as well. | ||
| And we've got offers for five other Hydra heads right now. | ||
| I just wanted our enemies to know that. | ||
| And they can... | ||
| I almost want to dedicate this studio to my stalkers and my haters because you gave us the energy to do all this, okay? | ||
| You're the reason this happened. | ||
| But I'm not doing it for you. | ||
| I'm doing it not out of spite, but out of love for my children. | ||
| And my family, and your children, and your families, because my children are going to grow up in a world with your children. | ||
| My children don't want it. | ||
| Don't do it for them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They don't exist, but also don't do it on behalf of my children. | ||
| Also, play more music. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| Yeah, play more music. | ||
| Why is it what you finally have the opportunity to say whatever you want? | ||
| Do you know what you want to say? | ||
| The lyrics to You Belong to the City. | ||
| Dude, we could... | ||
| We could be good program directors for the new Alex Jones show. | ||
| If he's going to dedicate it to us, then I feel like it's necessary for him to honor us as well. | ||
| Candle show, iffy, give it a shot. | ||
| Paint show guarantee. | ||
| Slam dunk. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| And more music. | ||
| Do a Rick D's style countdown. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| Wolfman Alex. | ||
| I think it would be good. | ||
| I don't think that would be a bad idea at all. | ||
| So, look. | ||
| I know you said that that show sounds very similar to another show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It does. | |
| Maybe we've done 700 episodes. | ||
| It reminds me of a very similar show. | ||
| But look, this is not connected at all. | ||
| Not at all? | ||
| No, it is not. | ||
| So I'm extremely honored to be here with you. | ||
| And I'm extremely honored to be launching this voyage with you. | ||
| And so in the future, you're not going to hear big pontifications for 15 minutes. | ||
| You will. | ||
| About why I'm doing it and who I am and what we're doing. | ||
| But this is really a big deal because... | ||
| You get set with your studios, set with your crew, set with your operation, who I'm totally loyal to and are awesome. | ||
| But to go out with new people and new organizations and new crew and new operations and to set up something completely organic and to strike out something, strike out with something that's so new is exciting. | ||
| And so I can tell you, this is just the beginning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| This is just the beginning that you're seeing right now. | ||
| And it all starts at Alex Jones Live. | ||
| Infowars.com. | ||
| I want to be, again, 100% crystal clear. | ||
| Infowars isn't going anywhere. | ||
| This is going to make Infowars.com and Bandot Video and everything they do over there and everything I'm involved with over there that much stronger. | ||
| Oh my God. | ||
| That's my family. | ||
| This is sad. | ||
| That's the most effective organization in the world. | ||
| That is the incredible thing. | ||
| But organizations like Free Speech Systems and what we've done have to give birth to new entities. | ||
| And new organizations and new systems. | ||
| And so that is what we are doing. | ||
| But not free speech systems, which you got. | ||
| And it's very exciting. | ||
| I'm going to leave it at that. | ||
| Probably should. | ||
| I'm going to leave it at that. | ||
| He called Infowars they. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Never met those guys before. | ||
| Hey, they're good people. | ||
| I've heard a lot about them. | ||
| But I'm telling you, that place, I don't think I've even been there for the past 20 years. | ||
| Honestly, I checked out. | ||
| Is bizarre. | ||
| Oh no, that's not bizarre. | ||
| That is the most transparent thing I have ever seen in my entire life. | ||
| Everyone at Infowars better be updating their fucking resume. | ||
| You better be ready to be gone. | ||
| You better be updating it with lives. | ||
| You are gone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm very loyal to my crew is five, four, three. | |
| When Alex says like three times I'm very loyal to my crew and is really stressing that this project that he's working on is not connected. | ||
| Not related. | ||
| Infowars. | ||
| And calls Infowars the they. | ||
| Those people. | ||
| Great people. | ||
| I'm gonna stick by them. | ||
| I'm very loyal to them. | ||
| The people who will stay. | ||
| Remember when he said he would die for Trump? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| A couple years ago? | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Get your resume together. | ||
| I would definitely be... | ||
| Y 'all are getting fired. | ||
| I think... | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Here's what it could be. | ||
| All right? | ||
| Daria is trying to get a job as an oil lobbyist. | ||
| Hey, keep feeding Alex these lines and then you can go to the oil lobby and they'll be like, holy shit, you're a psychopath? | ||
| Get on over here! | ||
| Could be. | ||
| Daria, update your resume. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And also, again, lie. | ||
| Don't put your real job history. | ||
| Any of you people at InfoWars, it's not a good idea. | ||
| Owen, you have been a sports anchor for this past ten years, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Fake a coma or something that you're just coming out of. | ||
| Ooh, a coma would be a great idea. | ||
| Change your name? | ||
| Can you explain this gap in your resume? | ||
| Yes, I was in a coma. | ||
| They almost pulled the plug. | ||
| Give some good details to it, too. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Did you ever see that movie While You Were Sleeping? | ||
| So, a nurse fell in love with me. | ||
| Something much bigger than Free Speech Systems is right on the horizon. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| If you think what you've seen in Free Speech Systems is impressive. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| The studios, the crew, all the equipment, all the guests. | ||
| It's impressive equipment. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| Yeah, I'll give them that. | ||
| Something that dwarfs that is almost complete, and I don't run it? | ||
| I don't control it. | ||
| Not related to it at all. | ||
| And it's free and clear. | ||
| Don't need to say this again. | ||
| And it's got a lineup of incredible talk show hosts. | ||
| No baggage. | ||
| Individuals and people ready to go. | ||
| Not entering with $1.5 billion. | ||
| And that's just one of the opportunities. | ||
| So here's the big news. | ||
| This is a thousand times bigger than Infowars. | ||
| Literally. | ||
| That's a conservative number. | ||
| Hell, a billion times I think about it. | ||
| There's 8 billion people. | ||
| That math doesn't check out. | ||
| If I had to guess, here's what I think I'm hearing. | ||
| Alex is saying that there's a bunch of free agent propagandists and right-wing shitheads out there that are teaming up to be like the Sinister Six. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I'm not going to cast the entire Sinister Six, but David Knight gets to be the Sandman because he puts me the fuck to sleep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
| Yep. | ||
| I was going to say that Alex is Kraven the Hunter because he's racially problematic, but then I don't remember if Kraven the Hunter is actually racist. | ||
| I mean, he's Kraven. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It's on the nose, at least. | ||
| Here are all the dangling threads that I can see out there in the ether. | ||
| You have Ezra Levant in Rebel News, which has seen better days. | ||
| Most of their former talent is gone and wants nothing to do with them, and it was heavily implied a while back that Ezra wanted to hire Alex. | ||
| Alex couldn't make his brand work if he was employed by a Canadian dude, and I think a lot of Alex's audience would be concerned about his boss's name being Ezra. | ||
| This seems like an option he could take over, like he could be the face of... | ||
| rebel news sure but i don't know how much other talent is there to fill things in and i don't think they have the kind of money alex would want no then there's gavin mcginnis and his failed censored.tv there's a ton of shows uh under that umbrella and on that website but almost all of them All of them are shit. | ||
| There's the classic man-up with Jacob Wall, which seems to have gone on hiatus right around the time he pled guilty to felony telecommunications fraud for his voter suppression robocall scheme. | ||
| Yeah, that one's usually tough to keep recording after. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All-around uncharming bigot Katie Hopkins has a show, but the latest episode of that is from last May. | ||
| That child named Soph, who was really popular for a minute because they swore and said racist shit, has a show. | ||
| But that 15 minutes... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| 12 years old. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| That was the whole point. | ||
| You can't be a child prodigy forever. | ||
| You can only be a child prodigy while you're a child. | ||
| Look how impressive that this person is so racist at such a young age. | ||
| No longer impressive if you're older. | ||
| You're an adult! | ||
| That's when you should be racist, you racist piece of shit! | ||
| Gavin does a show with noted racist Anthony Cumia, but who cares? | ||
| And also, Cumia has his own network, Compound Media, so this is really more of a collab than a Gavin venture. | ||
| Alex also probably wouldn't get along with the host of... | ||
| Atheism is unstoppable. | ||
| Gavin is still a name though, and he has a history with rebel media, so maybe that could come together. | ||
| There are also other free agents like Drew Hernandez, who I've labeled the baby reporter'cause he sounds like a fucking baby. | ||
| And now I guess Milo isn't working on the yay campaign anymore, so that could be an option. | ||
| Surprise, that fell through. | ||
| Yeah, it seems like That was a cushy gig. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And after Ye was like, I'm loyal to my crew. | ||
| Oh, I know. | ||
| I know. | ||
| It was like, I'm just going to pledge my undying loyalty to them. | ||
| Those people over there, I swear I'm devoted to them. | ||
| I'll never let them go. | ||
| But still, look, even with these names that are possibilities, there just aren't enough pieces to make this worthwhile. | ||
| Even if they manage to team up with some of the biggest free agents out there in the moment, like the number one draft pick, you'd say, Steven Crowder. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Even if you got him involved, you're still not really... | ||
| It's not a thousand times bigger than InfoWars. | ||
| Man, it's coming closer and closer to happening, though, isn't it? | ||
| That Crowder, Alex, it's feeling similar. | ||
| I don't think that's in Crowder's best interest. | ||
| I don't think so either. | ||
| Especially with Alex doing this. | ||
| If Alex didn't do this and they wanted to try and make a run out of turning InfoWars back into something, then maybe. | ||
| But at this point, no. | ||
| Everyone's fucking themselves over. | ||
| Here's what you do. | ||
| All right? | ||
| Steven Crowder. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Alex Jones. | ||
| I'm hearing you. | ||
| The Alex Jones show, once a week, people call in and Steven Crowder and Alex Jones have to paint for you. | ||
| And they paint on each other. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| You have to paint on the other guy's back and then he turns around and you get your turn. | ||
| And you both have to paint the same picture. | ||
| And you have to guess what the other person's painting while your back is turned. | ||
| Yes, 100%. | ||
| Yes, totally. | ||
| Fun game. | ||
| This would be great. | ||
| But look, there's other people. | ||
| Bannon has his own shit with the War Room, so he's probably not going to be interested. | ||
| Jack Posobiec is too big to mix it up with Alex. | ||
| Charlie Kirk is on a bunch of actual radio stations, so he's... | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| He's not messing around. | ||
| Mike Cernovich is irrelevant. | ||
| Stevon Molyneux might as well be a hermit living in the woods. | ||
| I just don't understand how you square this circle. | ||
| This idea that Alex has about something bigger, the people are coming together. | ||
| This idea, I just don't know how it works. | ||
| You know, maybe it's just something he's telling himself, honestly. | ||
| Like, how do you motivate yourself to keep going? | ||
| You owe $1.5 billion. | ||
| You gotta tell yourself something. | ||
| Right. | ||
| People still want me. | ||
| And this is not involved at all. | ||
| No, this is not involved. | ||
| This is unrelated to free speech systems. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If any possible lawyer... | ||
| I don't know if any lawyers listen to my podcast. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So Alex is concerned about bullies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| The left are bullies. | ||
| Since when? | ||
| Always. | ||
| Oh! | ||
| And so he wants to violently deal with these bullies, but very non-violently. | ||
| That's smart. | ||
| We are reaching an absolute total critical mass right now. | ||
| And you see it, I see it, on the poison shots, on the open borders, on the pedophile rings, on the New World Order, on the energy attacks, on the attempts to shut down our farmers and our small industries and our auto mechanics. | ||
| I mean, the people are finally going, whoa, I'm really in a fight. | ||
| And, you know, that's the thing about bullies. | ||
| They always think when they're threatening you in class or threatening you in the cafeteria when you're in junior high or high school, you're scared of them. | ||
| And you're not looking for trouble. | ||
| You're not looking for a fight. | ||
| And you try to get on the bus, and here comes a bully, and they punch you in the head. | ||
| And there's something about that moment they do that. | ||
| Everything slows down. | ||
| You just reach up in slow motion and grab their head and start bouncing in the concrete. | ||
| And the problem is you go too far and you kill them. | ||
| We don't want to do that. | ||
| We just want to get them off of us. | ||
| So just slam their head in the bus once, metaphorically. | ||
| Non-violently. | ||
| Just like, oh, you know what? | ||
| How's that feel? | ||
| How's it felt to get hurt like you want to hurt me? | ||
| Because you think messing with us intimidates us. | ||
| You think as bullies getting in our face and harassing us does something, and all it does is make us think about how bad we're going to get you off our back. | ||
| So make no mistake and understand that humanity is rising. | ||
| And if you think the old Alex Jones was dangerous to the New World Order, and if you thought the old Alex Jones had your number, I have been taking a lot of time off, and I've been meditating on how to skin you nonviolently, politically alive. | ||
| And I'm going to do it with my listeners, my viewers, and God's help. | ||
| Really, really found yourself grounded. | ||
| All right, I just ran in for 22 minutes. | ||
| I'm going to go to some of these special reports. | ||
| Yeah, go to some special reports, bro. | ||
| So look, I mean, like... | ||
| Alex, I'm glad you finally joined Transcendental Meditation! | ||
| That is like Alex's show. | ||
| It's one of the only moments in this whole thing where he seems to have some passion behind him, but it's also transparently false and forced. | ||
| But here's the thing. | ||
| I was thinking about this. | ||
| I don't know exactly the words or what these theories are, and I've never studied them in depth, but I've had conversations with people about this. | ||
| But the idea that the stage is this place where different rules apply. | ||
| We all have an ingrained assumption that something can be done in a play that is outside of our sensibilities, and it's part of the performance. | ||
| It kind of transcends it being there. | ||
| People can wear costumes and we just accept they're a different person. | ||
| It's one of the reasons that the stage and performance have always been allowed to mock power in a way that everybody else couldn't. | ||
| And there's a different relationship with things that are a little bit transgressive. | ||
| We relate to art differently because of things taking place in that space. | ||
| In a safer space that can be contained in the stage. | ||
| But it also is like... | ||
| Our understanding of it is different because of the relationship we have with the stage itself. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| And I was thinking about this, and Alex's set is kind of that. | ||
| It's a stage in some ways. | ||
| And so we kind of understand his, like, I'm gonna skin you alive stuff. | ||
| You know, obviously it's not okay and it's still fucked up. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But it seems more performancy and kind of like, aha, he's in costume, it's on the stage. | ||
| When it's at Infowars Studios and there's cuts between different cameras and you can tell that he's desperately trying to make it out to break and he's just saying this angry shit because it gets him excited. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| When he's sitting in like... | ||
| It's presumably a room next to his bedroom, and he doesn't have to be doing this, and it doesn't have the same space as a stage, and so this feels weird. | ||
| Dad, are you going to take me fishing next week? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| He does say something like, you know, it's great to be doing this while my family is just in the next room. | ||
| Oh my God. | ||
| Why are you so angry? | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is awful. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| It doesn't feel as much like... | ||
| Performance that you can understand in the sort of context that that provides just kind of seems like... | ||
| A guy who angrily wants to talk about violence and killing bullies and stuff, but then doesn't want to take responsibility for that anger, so he says, like, non-violently. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But then you also kind of see him getting worked up, but you know that's not sincere. | ||
| And it's just, I mean, it's a mess. | ||
| It doesn't feel right at all. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, that's one thing I have always hated about the left, the bullies, you know? | ||
| Because when you think of bullies, you think of, like, violent fantasies or, like... | ||
| Threats being said out loud. | ||
| Threats of violence. | ||
| Physical intimidation. | ||
| Making yourself big. | ||
| Getting on top of people. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Wait, no, that's another person in that clip. | ||
| Who's not associated with the free speech system. | ||
| But look, you're a hypocrite because earlier you wanted to throw paint balloons at people, so you are a bully. | ||
| That sounds very similar to I will skin you alive politically. | ||
| Well, have you meditated about these paint balloons? | ||
| I have not meditated on the paint balloons, you're right. | ||
| Well, get back to me. | ||
| I will! | ||
| So, obviously, any time you do a first episode of something, you gotta pop some champagne. | ||
| Sure! | ||
| That's what Alex does. | ||
| I'm not a big... | ||
| Wine drinker or a champagne drinker. | ||
| But when something special happens, I tend to buy a bottle of champagne. | ||
| Like Reset Wars. | ||
| It's a nice bottle of French champagne. | ||
| It's all real champagne. | ||
| It's French. | ||
| And have one and then put another away. | ||
| And during the break, I thought, wait a minute. | ||
| In my office, in a cabinet, I have... | ||
| I didn't have time to chill it, but it won't matter. | ||
| Because the house is already pretty cold. | ||
| I like it cold. | ||
| It's cold weather here, so it's probably about 60 degrees. | ||
| Was that necessary? | ||
| I have a bottle of Dom Perignon that I bought when my five-and-a-half-year-old daughter was born. | ||
| And we're giving birth to something new here, alexjoneslive.com. | ||
| Everything else is going to come out of that. | ||
| Just like InfoWars is going to be huge. | ||
| This is going to be huge as well if we do a good job and cover the real news and break major stories and get back on the road and if you support it and promote it. | ||
| So to all the viewers and all the listeners and to the crew and all the people that have made this possible and this maiden voyage, It's important as you launch a new ship to christen it. | ||
| And so I dedicate this new transmission and this new platform to freedom and to God and to the family and to the free expression of our ideas and to everybody that's gone before us that paid such extreme sacrifices that we can be here today. | ||
| So he ends up liking the champagne. | ||
| I'm going to skip this next clip because it's just him telling the people who are there working to put it on ice so they can have some later. | ||
| And then later in the episode you see him drinking like two more glasses. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He kills the bottle. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| This actually could be an allegory, okay? | ||
| So the allegory is Alex is the main character of our story, buys two bottles of champagne for the birth of his daughter, right? | ||
| The birth he celebrates and then the bottle of champagne that he also bought for the birth of his daughter. | ||
| You would assume is emotionally connected to the birth of your daughter. | ||
| And then this man goes through a transformative experience, and then somehow, rather than in a hero-with-a-thousand-faces style way and change, he instead selfishly... | ||
|
unidentified
|
He drinks the bottle by him alone. | |
| Well, he had Mike Adams on the phone. | ||
| So, the allegory is such that you can see if you go through a transformative experience, you should fucking change. | ||
| You should. | ||
| You should. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I also call into question whether the story is sincere, and if it is, it's fucking sad. | ||
| That is the saddest story. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You drink it at her wedding, you drink it at your daughter's birth, at 18th birthday, something with her! | |
| And he's drinking it! | ||
| Let me drink this for the family. | ||
| Let me take a big toast for the family. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let me drink this and also clarify that this is not involved with free speech systems. | |
| This champagne, French champagne, not involved with free speech systems. | ||
| So, Mike Adams is coming on to talk about how you will eat the bugs. | ||
| Mike Adams is joining us to talk about you will eat the bugs. | ||
| It's funny how the last five years, accelerating the last few years, the last few months really, through a crescenda, it was a new leftist sacrament. | ||
| Oh, don't just wear your mask, don't just take your poison shots, don't just support all the wars, don't just support pedophilia, but eat bugs to save the earth. | ||
| Even though the shell of bugs, the chitin in every major study, Cannot be digested by humans and causes all sorts of arthritic issues. | ||
| In fact, a bunch of the studies basically project that someone eating even 5% bug diet will develop cancer faster than someone smoking two packs of unfiltered cigarettes a day. | ||
| Look that up. | ||
| Alex is making all that shit up, except for that your body can't digest parts of bugs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Some parts. | |
| But the same is true of celery. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alex couldn't back up any of the stuff he's saying, and honestly, I have zero interest in the you-will-eat-the-bugs narrative and conspiracy. | ||
| Luckily, when Mike Adams comes on, he doesn't actually really get into it. | ||
| Unluckily, he does still show up, so they do talk about some other things. | ||
| But I honestly, I don't think that I've heard you will eat the bugs from anybody except people like Alex complaining about it. | ||
| I mean, I'll say eventually we're going to eat bugs. | ||
| I want to be honest with people in a way that most people won't. | ||
| Eventually we're going to eat bugs. | ||
| That's how it's going to work. | ||
| But listen, here's some good news. | ||
| When we do eat bugs... | ||
| It's not like chefs are going to be like, alright, we're done. | ||
| No more cooking. | ||
| We're just eating bugs. | ||
| They're going to be like, fine. | ||
| We'll figure out a new way to make good things out of bugs. | ||
| Here is a raw giant spider. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| You're not going to go to Pizza Hut and they're going to be like, no more pizza. | ||
| Bugs. | ||
| Bug Hut. | ||
| And now Hutts are illegal. | ||
| The Bug Hut buffet. | ||
| It went away, but I swear it was the best. | ||
| When you're saying we will eat bugs. | ||
| I think your assessment is probably correct. | ||
| In as much as there will be very effective replacements of a number of things, protein-based and what have you, there are a lot of interesting avenues that are much more ecologically stable that are that. | ||
| But the only reason I push back a tiny bit is because, you know, there are constant innovations that happen across the board. | ||
| And so the idea that bugs will necessarily become a large part of our diet is... | ||
| Let me try and clarify. | ||
| The bugs are less the literal bugs as much as they are like, your diet is going to change because of climate change. | ||
| That's just how it works. | ||
| Food, our relationship to food will necessarily evolve. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That is fine. | ||
| To be like, how dare they do that? | ||
| Look, man, we're too late for that. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| But I still don't hear anybody but... | ||
| People like Alex saying, oh my god, someone's trying to force me to eat a bug. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Well, I mean, I think there was the bug squares in Snowpiercer. | ||
| That's about as good as it gets for, oh no, we're going to eat bugs. | ||
| And the sort of tacky hack joke at this point already of Rogan yelling at people to eat bugs on Fear Factor. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. | ||
| You're not going to have to eat live bugs. | ||
| So, in this next clip, Alex is waiting for Mike Adams to show up and he starts lying. | ||
| You know, I think that retired Colonel Douglas McGregor is a smart guy. | ||
| But he said the Russians were going to win in just a few weeks. | ||
| And I said, well, they may, but if they don't, it's going to go on for years. | ||
| And the Pentagon thinks it's going to go on for years. | ||
| But there's no doubt Ukraine's collapsed. | ||
| But it doesn't matter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Because Western money's being pumped in to keep the war going. | ||
| Just because the civilization collapses doesn't mean that a war is... | ||
| The civilization collapse? | ||
| his past position. | ||
| In the lead-up to the invasion, Alex was airing Putin's speeches and talking about how great a leader he was and insisting that, if anything, Russia... | ||
| Russia was just going to go into the Donbass region to assist the separatists there because he was trying to crush communism. | ||
| Then the invasion happened, and Alex said it would be over in a day or two because Russia had paid off Ukraine's military and that Zelensky was a secret double agent who'd also been paid off by Putin. | ||
| None of this came to pass, and Alex has just pretended that that wasn't his coverage for the weeks surrounding the invasion. | ||
| He lies about this stuff because if he didn't, it would be too obvious that the things he's saying now will look just as stupid in a year. | ||
| The sort of shell game of pretending you didn't say what you said before is essential if you want to be tomorrow's news today. | ||
| Yeah, you know, it is a luxury that I think he doesn't really appreciate. | ||
| He takes it for granted that people will not check. | ||
| That his audience is so deeply complacent. | ||
| Yeah, like that is something that he should be far more grateful for. | ||
| And he just takes it for granted. | ||
| Well, I think once you take on the name of like... | ||
| I'm a truth seeker. | ||
| Or like, I do my own research and all this stuff. | ||
| You're halfway there. | ||
| You don't really have to follow through. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| It gives you the boost of like... | ||
| It's like the studio. | ||
| It gives you an air of professionality where you do not have any skill. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think... | ||
| What was it? | ||
| I think my therapist one time told me about, like, if you have some sort of thing that you want to do, don't tell people you're going to do it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because if you do, you'll have the feeling of having done it because you'll have told them and it'll make you less likely to follow through with your plans. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right, right. | |
| Might have been talking about my deep problems with procrastination. | ||
| Nah. | ||
| And I think the same is true of people who, like, are Alex listeners. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They just tell themselves that the point has been proven. | ||
| They tell themselves that they dig for the truth and, you know... | ||
| Do their own research, and that gives them the feeling that they do, and that's good enough. | ||
| And Alex banks on that. | ||
| And then the other way you lie to yourself is you say, by saying it out loud, people will hold me accountable for it. | ||
| I said it out loud, I said I'm a truth teller, so if people don't hold me accountable for not being a truth teller... | ||
| Alex says look it up, so therefore, if there isn't a complete exodus of all of his listeners, then what he said must have been true. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's nonsense. | ||
| Yep, not good. | ||
| Anyway, Alex has lately been talking about Mr. Rogers a bit. | ||
| So we've got Bob Ross and Mr. Rogers are both in play on today's episode. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So there's a video of Mr. Rogers. | ||
| He had a song called Everybody's Fancy that he wrote back in the day. | ||
| Was it an accurate song or more of a fantasy song? | ||
| No, it's about... | ||
| About boys grow up to be boys and girls grow up to be girls. | ||
| And so now it's been... | ||
| Appropriated for the far right? | ||
| A bit weaponized. | ||
| A completely banal and harmless little song. | ||
| Well, it's interesting because the argument that Alex seems to have is that leftists are up in arms canceling Mr. Rogers over this. | ||
| I've not heard... | ||
| I'm sorry, what? | ||
| I've not heard anything of that, but I've heard Alex claim that quite a bit. | ||
| It's almost like he really wants the left to do this so he can say, ha ha, look at this. | ||
| It would be really helpful for the left to do stupid things for me. | ||
| That would be nice, because then I could be like, hey, look at how much smarter than you I am. | ||
| And that you're not doing it makes me very frustrated. | ||
| Also, Alex doesn't deal with the fact that Mr. Rogers updated the lyrics to this. | ||
| Get the fuck out of here. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Jesus, that guy was the best. | ||
| He had some good qualities. | ||
| Speaking of playing God, everything in our universe is male and female. | ||
| Locks and keys. | ||
| What? | ||
| Those are the universe's fault? | ||
| The whole way the planet operates. | ||
| What? | ||
| It spins male and female? | ||
| The 90s doing a show on X and Y chromosomes, male and female chromosomes, pulling that a few years ago because you're not allowed to say men are men, women are women. | ||
| But now the left, there's a big article on Infowars.com. | ||
| It's triggered by old Mr. Rogers boys are boys, girls are girls clips. | ||
| And then another clip we're going to play right after it of him on a nightly show, a nightly late night comedy show. | ||
| Carson. | ||
| Saying, well, children can be confused when they're young. | ||
| It's important not to confuse them because psychologists knew this early on. | ||
| They would have some identity issues as they went into puberty, not understanding what it meant to be male, what it meant to be female. | ||
| So instead of that critical juncture, guiding them into what they are. | ||
| The system is there trying to make that decision for them. | ||
| That's not exactly the point of Mr. Rogers' song. | ||
| But also, keys and locks aren't inherently male or female. | ||
| I mean, I don't even understand how if that's your first example. | ||
| Those are terms that we gave them, and they're essentially arbitrary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| It would be just as easy to say that they're top and bottom plugs, or pokey and dippy plugs, or innie and outie, or whatever. | ||
| It's cultural. | ||
| It means nothing to larger reality. | ||
| Language, it could, ah, and brr, that'd be fine. | ||
| That'd also be fine. | ||
| Yeah, it could work. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, so this argument falls flat a little bit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And also, I'm not going to get involved in the Mr. Rogers culture war that Alex wants. | ||
| I refuse. | ||
| So desperately wants. | ||
| That is so silly, I refuse. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So Alex isn't going to go away. | ||
| And neither is InfoWars. | ||
| And they are two separate things. | ||
| They are completely unrelated. | ||
| We're just sticking our toe a little bit into these waters right now. | ||
| And we're finally doing it. | ||
| I was always a man of action. | ||
| Why are you finally doing it? | ||
| But InfoWars is quite the operation. | ||
| It becomes the main focus. | ||
| But it feels so good to be in a new studio. | ||
| So good to be doing all of this. | ||
| And again, we're not getting rid of InfoWars. | ||
| It's going to be there. | ||
| It's going to be stronger than ever. | ||
| We're getting rid of InfoWars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All our enemies to know that we'll be getting rid of InfoWars. | |
| Three new studios in Austin. | ||
| Too many. | ||
| This is the one in my house. | ||
| The others aren't even my studios or groups. | ||
| You can't find them. | ||
| And five other deals right now. | ||
| In case anybody thinks you're going to shut us down or silence us, all you're going to do is get us to intensify our free speech. | ||
| I agree, but there's no demand. | ||
| Like, you're just gonna, like, if you create a ton more shit, fine, but no one wants it. | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| Also, and I'm gonna throw this out at you. | ||
| You're solving the wrong problem. | ||
| It feels like he's trying to do one of those corporate rebrands, you know, where somebody like Enron, you know, destroys the economy or something, and then they're like, well, we're sorry, and they declare bankruptcy, and then they change their name to Ron N, and you're like, can you do that? | ||
| But they changed their name. | ||
| They didn't just go, ha-ha, we're Enron 2. Like, that's stupid. | ||
| It's the new Alex Jones show. | ||
| No, it's the same. | ||
| And I don't even know if that's an official name. | ||
| I think that might have just been something he said. | ||
| AlexJones.Live, baby. | ||
| The new not-free-speech-system show. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Also, I think that Alex might have a difficult time arguing that these are, like, totally distinct things. | ||
| Oh, yeah? | ||
| Because he'll be like, oh, but it's AlexJones.Live. | ||
| It's not Infowars.com. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| And then you go through all of the million whack-a-mole URLs that he's bought and tried to redirect to his website. | ||
| It seems like, I don't know, it seems very much the same thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anyway, Infowars could burn the fuck down and he'd still be doing this. | |
| This studio was being built two years ago. | ||
| I'm fine with that. | ||
| It's been done for about a year. | ||
| But then I said, I want it hooked up to the satellites. | ||
| I want it hooked up to the radio stations. | ||
| I want it hooked up to all the servers. | ||
| Do you think that's a good idea? | ||
| You know, if a plane was to crash at InfoWars headquarters, or a lightning bolt, or an act of God, or a billion-dollar lawsuit, or whatever happens, or a clown car full of explosives was to drive into it, we will still have a place to do the show, and then, God forbid, a plane crashes into this, we've got two more places. | ||
| It's so crazy how I think what's about to happen is I'm going to start doing three shows a day. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| And then I'm going to do a bunch of other shows. | ||
| In fact, I went ahead and pulled the trigger this week because they've got these groups that call up these PR firms that want you on all these shows, and I've been cutting them back to like 10 a week. | ||
| And I just said, you know, they've wanted me to shut up so bad. | ||
| I said, go ahead and hit me. | ||
| I'll do 20 interviews a week. | ||
| So now I'm going to run real hard for a few weeks and take off a few days because I never used to run hard all the time. | ||
| I've learned I can like take off a few days, like an engine, let it cool off and run it even harder the next time. | ||
| Yeah, it's almost like you're on speed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| This is one of the most desperate performances I think I've heard in a long time. | ||
| You know people who are on cocaine? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They go real hard for a few days and then they crash. | ||
| Yeah, and the crash gets worse every time. | ||
| And the high gets less. | ||
| So you want it more. | ||
| Alex. | ||
| Alex, Alex, I don't understand. | ||
| I mean, okay, maybe he's gotten some requests for interviews. | ||
| It's great that he's saying yes to them, but, I mean, 20 a day? | ||
| First of all, you don't have time. | ||
| Second of all, there's not the demand. | ||
| If you're doing three shows a day, no one wants that. | ||
| It's just clutter. | ||
| You don't have enough to say to fill those shows. | ||
| There's no reason for them to exist on a substantive basis, and then no one's gonna buy it. | ||
| No one wants it. | ||
| No one's gonna consume the media. | ||
| You're wasting your time. | ||
| You're gonna defeat the globalists by... | ||
| By burning yourself out and diminishing returns in yourself out of anyone caring when you talk. | ||
| Yeah, you know, a lot of times people are like, oh, so when you're down, you know, that's when you expand. | ||
| You can't retract when you're down. | ||
| But on the other hand, sometimes getting rid of, say, a massive amount of overhead from having multiple studios might make it easier to run a slick, pared-down show. | ||
| Nah, these are not his studios. | ||
|
unidentified
|
These are completely separate from free speech systems. | |
| Legally unconnected to anything that could be touched by lawsuits. | ||
| Yeah, I think that this is stupid. | ||
| People who are normal, who don't know anything about all this stuff that I talk to... | ||
| When they say, how long is his show? | ||
| And I'm like, three hours. | ||
| And they're like, what? | ||
| Why? | ||
| And then I'm like, yeah, and it's also six days a week he does shows. | ||
| Like, what the fuck? | ||
| Like, normal people already think one show a day from him for three hours is severe overkill. | ||
| I can't imagine anybody, even his most, like... | ||
| I mean, based on most people's interaction with Alex through, like, clips, you know... | ||
| I could 100% see you thinking like, okay, maybe this is an hour-long show. | ||
| And since I don't see clips of it every day, like, I don't know, The Daily Show or whatever, maybe it only happens once a week or something like that. | ||
| I can totally see that. | ||
| You fools. | ||
| You fools. | ||
| And honestly, Alex is a lot like Vegemite. | ||
| A little goes a long way. | ||
| Long way. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Three shows a day. | ||
| Please do it. | ||
| Do it. | ||
| You'll burn yourself out so fast. | ||
| I mean, it may be the most important lesson that Alex needs to learn is you've got to go away to come back. | ||
| And he's got to go away. | ||
| And he doesn't have to come back. | ||
| But if he comes back, if he wants to come back, he's going to have to go away first. | ||
| He doesn't get to just continue doing the show on a different format. | ||
| You've got to go away. | ||
| Go away. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go away. | |
| So anyway, someone who isn't going away is Charlie Daniels tweets about Benghazi. | ||
| What? | ||
| He used to tweet all the time, Benghazi ain't going away. | ||
| Is he still tweeting about it? | ||
| No, he's dead. | ||
| Or have the tweets continued coming out long after his death? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I just remember he would always tweet that. | ||
| But someone who's sticking around is Alex's first ever guest, Michael. | ||
| Health Ranger Adams. | ||
| It's over for humanity. | ||
| Without further ado, I am so incredibly honored to have one of the smartest, most amazing, most dynamic, influential, informative people that is ahead of the curve by light years and is awakening humanity and has just been devastating the enemy. | ||
| I've known him almost 15 years. | ||
| And I was sitting here a few days ago thinking, all right, I'm finally going to launch AlexJonesLive.com. | ||
| There's so much behind this. | ||
| This is just my little home studio here. | ||
| Who do I want on? | ||
| Who I most respect as the first guest. | ||
| Who doesn't hate me now? | ||
| I thought, oh, it's Mike Adams. | ||
| I called him. | ||
| He came on. | ||
| He's coming on my main Infowars show tomorrow to break huge news. | ||
| So the first interview on AlexJonesLive.com is with the great health ranger Mike Adams. | ||
| All right, who am I going to get for my first guest? | ||
| How about a complete weirdo who's not welcome anywhere else? | ||
| Somebody who's only interviewed by me because he is so lacking in credibility in any way. | ||
| I swear to God, I am waiting for him to end his part of this podcast by being like, and Owen's going to finish out the last half hour. | ||
| That's what I'm waiting for. | ||
| Owen's in the pool. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Yeah, 100%. | ||
| He's going to do the pool stream. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, Mike? | ||
| Holy shit. | ||
| I think that he might have taken some notes from Steve Pechenik. | ||
| Oh, is he taking some big swings today? | ||
| He might be swinging. | ||
| He might be swinging, huh? | ||
| He might have some ideas. | ||
| He might have some Casey at the bat. | ||
| So, the vaccines, of course. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Part of a depopulation plan. | ||
| Obviously. | ||
| But check this shit out. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| What we're looking at here is a combined global depopulation effort that is failing. | ||
| It is failing. | ||
| Because of the efforts of the InfoWarriors and Alex Jones and myself and others. | ||
| I mean, many, many people. | ||
| Thousands of people sounding the alarm. | ||
| And because of that, the globalists have realized they can't achieve their kill quotas. | ||
| So yes, they have kill quotas. | ||
| Every national leader has been given a kill quota like, you must kill off, they're told, 70% of the population or 75%. | ||
| Or maybe it's only 60, but it's a big percentage of the population. | ||
| And the United States is not going to reach that kill quota through these existing kill vectors. | ||
| That's so disappointing. | ||
| Now we have to resort to the next stage of the global depopulation effort. | ||
| And what is that? | ||
| Well, of course, it's provoking Russia into a nuclear attack on the United States. | ||
| This just makes sense. | ||
| This is the most credible voice. | ||
| This is a respected genius who Alex is honored to have as his first guest on his stupid podcast. | ||
| I mean, I assume they wouldn't write down the kill quotas, right? | ||
| That is exactly what I was thinking. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mike is just imagining this. | |
| I mean, if they wrote down one kill quota, you've made a huge mistake. | ||
| If you have ever said the worst kill quota. | ||
| Somebody's recording somewhere. | ||
| There are balloons overhead that are recording shit now. | ||
| I love this. | ||
| Mike Adams just sat around and thought about this and then decided this must be what's going on. | ||
| We have to explain why the vaccine isn't actually killing the number of people that we've said. | ||
| It can't possibly be because we're full of shit and the vaccine isn't a bioweapon full of poison. | ||
| It must be that the Infowarriors have been so successful in saving humanity. | ||
| That must be it. | ||
| Oh, kill quotas. | ||
| Nuclear war. | ||
| Oh, be scared. | ||
| I like the idea of essentially turning your entire cult into people with OCD who have to constantly bark at the right time in order to stop the entire world from being depopulated. | ||
| I mean, if you listen to Mike and you think he... | ||
| We were supposed to have been invaded by China. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, totally. | |
| They were going to do a land invasion. | ||
| They were going to do a land invasion. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That would have been tough. | ||
| Missed that one. | ||
| I wouldn't recommend it for him. | ||
| So anyway, there's going to be some shit that goes down in addition to apparently baiting Russia into nuking U.S. targets. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| How do you bait someone into nuclear attack? | ||
| Do one of these? | ||
| I mean, because the mutually assured destruction means no matter what baiting you do, any attack will be... | ||
| Well, I think you start... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Slow. | |
| First, you walk up behind Putin and then put bunny ears behind him and take a picture. | ||
| You don't send him a card on his birthday. | ||
| That's already stepping across the line. | ||
| It's passive-aggressive, but it gets the message across. | ||
| Sooner or later, you're going to get a nuke. | ||
| And then you don't say, hey, it's cool that you invaded Ukraine. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Once you do that, nukes. | ||
| So anyway, as that's happening, China is going to blockade Taiwan. | ||
| And then also all imports from China are going to stop. | ||
| So the U.S. is going to be in trouble. | ||
| And here's what's going to happen. | ||
| But just cutting off exports from China will then cause economic chaos in the United States. | ||
| Total economic chaos. | ||
| And that combined with the fragile nature of the U.S. culture and how the radical left has been pushing anti-police. | ||
| Because police are going to stop the Chinese? | ||
| And pushing violent crime and pushing race warfare and so on. | ||
| That's going to lead to massive uprisings and violent revolts in America. | ||
| And that will exacerbate the population die-off that's happening at the same time there is some food scarcity. | ||
| But you see, what I want you to understand, if you're watching this in the United States... | ||
| You're not going to go to the grocery store and see all the shelves empty. | ||
| It won't be that way. | ||
| There will be some food scarcity here. | ||
| Not enough to kill you by itself. | ||
| But that panic from that scarcity combined with the social unrest, combined with perhaps an escalation of war with Russia, and then combined with cyber warfare attacks on the financial infrastructure that takes down even the power grid or regional sections of the power grid, and that takes down banking, takes down food stamps, takes down ATMs. | ||
| So that the people start to panic. | ||
| They freak out. | ||
| They don't have anybody to come to their rescue. | ||
| And that's when the panicked population goes into a kind of a violent overdrive situation and you get massive violence and die-offs in the cities with no one coming to their rescue. | ||
| That's the scenario that they're trying to create. | ||
| Now then, when that happens, the government will try to confiscate food from farms in rural areas and then shift it into the cities because they want to keep... | ||
| The left-wing Democrats alive, if they can, relative to the country conservatives that they're definitely trying to kill off more quickly. | ||
| I don't think that plan's going to succeed, by the way. | ||
| Certainly not. | ||
| And this plan, he still thinks voting is going to be important later on? | ||
| Yeah, that is strange. | ||
| I think that we're well past that at this point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Now, I would say... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| First of all, this is all stupid. | ||
| Yep, very stupid. | ||
| But second... | ||
| How much fun must it be to be a dramatic weirdo and you're just able to write out your bizarre fantasies and then come on Alex's show and rattle them off as if they're like, this is definitely what's going to happen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then Alex tells you you're a genius. | |
| It's like a disease. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's gotta be so fun. | |
| It's like a disease, I swear. | ||
| I mean, the idea of any part of that plan. | ||
| In any way functioning. | ||
| Well, it's everything, isn't it? | ||
| Right! | ||
| You know? | ||
| It's everything. | ||
| Everything happens. | ||
| It's like, what? | ||
| And again, thank you for stopping this imaginary problem by shouting at people from time to time. | ||
| Good lord. | ||
| You've done it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What heroes. | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| So anyway, Mike sums up his complete bullshit. | ||
| Quotas. | ||
| To summarize. | ||
| They want to kill off some large percentage of Americans, maybe 70%, but they want to kill off conservatives more than Democrats. | ||
| That's going to be very hard to achieve. | ||
| Because, number one, Democrats are the ones who took the vaccines the most. | ||
| Democrats live in the artificial cities that are not survivable on their own. | ||
| Democrats are going to have the most difficult time with preparedness. | ||
| They're not familiar with firearms. | ||
| They can't reason with people. | ||
| They're not prepared. | ||
| They don't understand how to grow their own food. | ||
| So all the things that you learn on Infowars by listening to the guests and all the special reports and all the coverage from Alex Jones over the years makes you hard to kill. | ||
| You are hard to kill. | ||
| If you're watching this, you're hard to kill. | ||
| And that's half of your survival plan right there. | ||
| No, you're not. | ||
| No, you're not. | ||
| No one is hard to kill. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| I know you think that there's some sort of toughness. | ||
| You sleep. | ||
| It's gonna be fine. | ||
| No, what you don't understand is that the repetition of hard to kill, it seems very suspicious, but what Mike is actually doing is he's trying to activate a very singular sleeper cell that is Steven Seagal. | ||
| I gotta say, it's pretty funny to imagine that listening to Infowars makes you more able to reason with people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Don't say it. | |
| I couldn't even handle hearing the word. | ||
| I couldn't even handle hearing the word. | ||
| Democrats don't know how to reason with people. | ||
| It's impossible. | ||
| I just heard a man say that he wants to skin people alive. | ||
| Politically. | ||
| Not violently. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It doesn't sound like reasoning is more his goal. | ||
| This MF-er right here just said that there were kill quotas. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I can't reason? | ||
| I'm unable to reason a way that there aren't kill quotas, but he's too good at reasoning for me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So anyway, it makes them hard to kill if they listen to InfoWars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Actually, I think... | ||
| I was going to make some kind of a joke about Alex's supplements, creating a shield in your skin. | ||
| Ooh, that'd be fun. | ||
| It gives you a hard... | ||
| You can't digest yourself! | ||
| You get an exoskeleton by taking Alex's... | ||
| Ironically. | ||
| You'll not eat the bugs, you will be the bugs. | ||
| You will be the bugs. | ||
| Kafka reigns supreme. | ||
| But yeah, if you listen to InfoWars, you're going to get an advance notice of when to get out of town. | ||
| Now that's great, except for I've listened to Alex for years and he constantly tells people it's time to get out of town. | ||
| I've been told to get out of town so many times. | ||
| So maybe you won't have an advance notice because Alex says it all the fucking time. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Well, Chicago's about to get nuked, or it was nuked a few years ago and we still didn't get out of town. | ||
| No, we stayed in town. | ||
| People who watch your show are going to have the early warning signs, probably a couple of days ahead of the masses for when it's time to get out of Dodge. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| You were on my show, and I didn't think you were wrong, but I was kind of like, come on. | ||
| You were on my show in February and April saying they're doing lockdowns. | ||
| And I'm like, really? | ||
| Like Chinese said, watch, and it happened. | ||
| How did you know? | ||
| Well, I mean, no, it's the same thing. | ||
| You know, we're all just watching the news and looking for the milestones out there, the markers. | ||
| Now, neither you nor I are always correct, obviously. | ||
| We make mistakes, or we try to project something into the future, and maybe that date isn't right, or maybe it looks a little different. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| Or maybe it's over for humanity. | ||
| You're wrong about everything, bro. | ||
| Yeah, literally everything. | ||
| Don't play this game with me. | ||
| Every single thing. | ||
| I listen to your dumb shit back then. | ||
| You tell people to put Ebola into a drink. | ||
| Get the fuck out of here. | ||
| Oh, that was last time. | ||
| That's never excused. | ||
| You never move past that one. | ||
| We all make mistakes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| Ebola is not a mistake. | ||
| Who among us is not... | ||
| I mean, no. | ||
| Refuse. | ||
| Let who is without Ebola cast the first stone. | ||
| So Alex lies about his early COVID coverage here in a fun way. | ||
| And let's talk about a microcosm of that. | ||
| You and I, in February, March, and April of 2020... | ||
| We're saying this is a real virus. | ||
| It's killing people, which it was. | ||
| Not as deadly as they said, but it was real. | ||
| What? | ||
| Now you're making this up? | ||
| You better get on. | ||
| This isn't fair. | ||
| Very quickly. | ||
| And the globalists knew that. | ||
| They were trying to block anybody with therapeutics to cause the biggest death toll. | ||
| But because of you and many other people and Infowars, the public did get the truth and countless millions were saved. | ||
| So that's why this is really a life and death situation. | ||
| So as you said... | ||
| We're the early warning with our experts and our research and our callers. | ||
| We talk a lot of shit, and we avoid fake kill quotas with, uh... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| So anyway, Alex is lying, but Mike's lies, I think, are actually a little bit more, like, disgraceful. | ||
| Yeah, you're exactly right. | ||
| That was a very confusing time for all of us. | ||
| Good dodge. | ||
| Because we saw these warnings coming out of China. | ||
| I didn't know, are these whistleblowers with these videos, or is it all rigged and staged? | ||
| And in retrospect, a lot of the hype out of China, I think, was staged. | ||
| But you're right. | ||
| We did sound the alarm, and then at that time, the mainstream media was saying there's nothing to worry about whatsoever. | ||
| And then they flipped, remember? | ||
| They flipped to say, oh, it's the worst thing ever, and everybody's going to die, and everybody is going to die. | ||
| And we predicted that would happen. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's cute for Mike to say that the videos out of China were a hoax because it was him and Alex who were scaring their audience with them at the beginning of the pandemic. | ||
| Mike even translated these videos because he speaks Chinese. | ||
| That's how involved in the hoax he was. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| They were the main outlet running constant stories about people allegedly being shot at checkpoints in Wuhan and their sensational ass coverage of any video from China. | ||
| If you listen to this clip and all of this discussion, really, Mike and Alex are condemning their past selves. | ||
| But to make it more palatable to the audience, they're ascribing their past positions to the mainstream media. | ||
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Most people were not saying that the virus was no big deal back then, but that maybe we shouldn't totally freak out about it yet. | |
| At that point, Mike was saying that it was over for humanity and there would only be lone survivors, while Alex was making up that the death toll had a child. | ||
| You bet. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| As the rest of the world began to take the virus more seriously, it was necessary for Alex to pivot into a denialist stance, which he did by attacking every vestige of connecting the virus to reality. | ||
| Just because it's real doesn't mean you should agree with the mainstream media. | ||
| Everything that was meant to be a preventative measure was secretly a globalist attack. | ||
| Any vaccine would necessarily be a globalist bioweapon attack. | ||
| Temporarily closing unnecessary businesses was a means of limiting... | ||
| It wasn't a means of limiting contact and spread. | ||
| It was the globalists trying to crash the... | ||
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
While Alex resisted going full David Icke and committing to the there is no virus narrative, all that he's done since he made that pivot into fighting a mainstream that was taking the virus very seriously has been in service of undermining exactly that. | |
| And of course he did. | ||
| There's no money to make in telling people that they should wear masks and follow guidance about social distancing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What are you going to do? | |
| You can be a complete mask denialist and still sell your audience masks and somehow get away with it. | ||
| It's disgraceful to see these two charlatans be so proud of themselves for getting everything wrong. | ||
| They were able to do that because they're pretending they said the opposite thing that they did, and they know that their audience is never going to hold them accountable. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| It's pathetic. | ||
| And again, they take it for granted. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Like, listen to them laugh about how right they were knowing. | ||
| Beautifully, that they were the dumbest people alive. | ||
| And frankly, the reason that we wound up getting those lockdowns was because those people treated it so irresponsibly. | ||
| Which, by the way, we didn't get lockdown lockdown. | ||
| No, we didn't get lockdown lockdown. | ||
| We just all somehow accepted that terminology, which was a pretty big mistake, I think, in hindsight. | ||
| So, one of the things that's really difficult is Alex got COVID a bunch, and apparently Mike did too. | ||
| Or at least he got it one time, and it was pretty bad. | ||
| Who could have seen this coming? | ||
| Yeah, almost like everybody would. | ||
| And actually, this clip almost made me throw something across the room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Sure, Mike, but I want to say this. | ||
| We know the first variant, if you got it, was super devastating and had a good chance of killing some people, but it was very hard to get it. | ||
| And so I wasn't saying you were wrong when you said, hey, it's really bad, and you didn't want to leave your ranch, and I don't blame you. | ||
| But then when I got the second variant... | ||
| I was 47 years old at that time, and I'm tough. | ||
| I mean, this, for three weeks, I couldn't breathe. | ||
| I thought I was going to die. | ||
| If I didn't have the nutraceuticals and the steroids, the rest of it, and the ivermectin, I would have almost killed my dad, almost killed my mom. | ||
| This is unlike anything else. | ||
| So believe me, if I, in retrospect, knew how bad it was, I'd have been staying at the ranch as well. | ||
| You've got everything you need, your infrastructure. | ||
| You're able to broadcast from there. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| If you'd known how bad it is, in hindsight, you would have, I don't know, social distanced. | ||
| You would have done the things that the fucking glow lists were telling you? | ||
| You stupid asshole. | ||
| Think about how bad you had it. | ||
| You're a strong guy, and you had it that bad, and your mom and dad almost died. | ||
| Think about all the other people out there who weren't as lucky, you dumb fuck. | ||
| In hindsight, I wish I would have gone to the ranch so I wouldn't have gotten disease, that I wouldn't have gotten this sickness that I was pretending I couldn't get, and I didn't tell the audience that I had at the time that I had it because I was telling them not to social distance and that this was all bullshit. | ||
| What a fuck. | ||
| Fucking asshole. | ||
| Yeah, no, the entire human race should descend upon him after hearing that. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| I mean, that's unacceptable. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I don't know how to ever engage with a human who did that. | ||
| Well, that's because you're not able to reason. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| Good point. | ||
| Not anymore. | ||
| Not after hearing that. | ||
| All reason is gone from me. | ||
| So Mike also got COVID. | ||
| People that say this doesn't exist have not had it. | ||
| Have you ever had it? | ||
| Yeah, I dealt with it, too. | ||
| And remember from the early days, we didn't know how effective ivermectin was going to be, right? | ||
| And we didn't know the effectiveness. | ||
| I didn't even have it. | ||
| I heard ivermectin, and I got it, and was super sick for a week, and within hours of ivermectin, it got 90% better. | ||
| I was still sick for a few weeks, and if I'd had it early on, all the numbers show, it would have been fine. | ||
| You were still sick for a few weeks? | ||
| I just... | ||
| I don't understand how people can say the things that they say without thinking about how stupid they are. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know? | ||
| I took this thing and I was still sick for a long time. | ||
| No, it healed me right away. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
| And then I was sick for another couple weeks. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then I was healed again by... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cool. | |
| This is quite a testimonial for this fake thing. | ||
| I just... | ||
| I just don't... | ||
| It's not fair. | ||
| It's not fair that I can't, like... | ||
| I can't just play that for them and be like, do you get it now? | ||
| Yeah, do you understand? | ||
| Because they don't. | ||
| Do you understand what a piece of shit you are? | ||
| They will never. | ||
| Well, I mean, Alex saying, in retrospect, after I got the illness, I wish I would have taken precautionary measures so I wouldn't get it. | ||
| It's just unbelievable. | ||
| No, you should go to jail. | ||
| It's unbelievable. | ||
| I genuinely believe he should go to jail. | ||
| I don't know what for. | ||
| I don't care what for. | ||
| He said that, put him in his cell. | ||
| I don't know how to write the law, but boy, I feel like... | ||
| If he's doing some meditations, he should meditate the fuck on that. | ||
| I just can't get past that. | ||
| That's un-fucking-real. | ||
| Yeah, it's unacceptable. | ||
| I mean, the lies about his past positions are unacceptable on their own tack. | ||
| But that kind of a statement of his feelings and his understanding of... | ||
| The very thing that he rallied against. | ||
| Refusing to take responsibility for any of it. | ||
| Right, no, he was right all along. | ||
| He wouldn't say right there, I am sorry to the people I told not to social distance. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Now that I've got the... | ||
| Now that I understand what people were trying to avoid. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Yeah, he couldn't even say that. | ||
| He had to be like, hey, listen, it's such a good thing that that fake thing that we lied to you about also was fake and didn't work. | ||
| Yeah, also sorry that I lied to you all by not saying that I... | ||
| I got COVID the whole time that I was getting COVID all the time. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Fucking dick. | ||
| We lived through two fucking years. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Anyway, we have one last clip here, and it's a tease for Mike Adams' bug investigation that's going to be on the next day's show with Alex. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I'll take a bug investigation. | ||
| So there's a bit more of Alex talking about nothing, and then Pete Santilli comes in, and it's a boring interview, but also one funny thing to bring up about Pete Santilli. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Is that he's like, oh man, you got a great lawyer, that Norm Pettis. | ||
| Real funny. | ||
| Oh god, I don't think Alex even believes Norm is a good lawyer anymore. | ||
| The camera was away from Alex's face, notably during that. | ||
| But yeah, anyway, here's the tease for Mike's big bug investigation. | ||
| Well, tell us, give us a prelude on the bug investigation. | ||
| Alright, so yeah, I'm bringing a thumb drive. | ||
| These are high-resolution, high-end video microscopy photos of the cricket meal, the cricket powders, that are being pushed onto people. | ||
| So we purchased these products, they're labeled for human consumption. | ||
| And then they suffocate under powder. | ||
| We're going to bring you the photos of the cricket flower with all the little bugs and cricket hairs and eyeballs and everything that are in it. | ||
| And it's going to be quite visually shocking, Alex. | ||
| So be ready. | ||
| It'll be fun. | ||
| This is sad. | ||
| It's going to be fun. | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| This has the energy of someone who's like, put your hand in this bowl. | ||
| It's eyeballs. | ||
| No, it's grapes. | ||
| You know, like it's that level of kind of you can trick a child. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, I understand. | ||
| I've seen enough things in microscopes that oftentimes things look really weird and fucked up when you go real close on them. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| That's all this is going to be. | ||
| It's going to be, like, fucking really weird pictures from a really microscopic level that they're going to pretend are, oh my god, look at this. | ||
| It's a pentagram. | ||
| If you want to tell me what's going on in a microscopic picture. | ||
| All right. | ||
| You have to have used a microscope at least five times every year. | ||
| Mike probably has used the Health Ranger. | ||
| Do you think? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| But also, I love the idea that Alex asks him, give us a tease of what's going on with your bug investigation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Because that's what you also would say to a child. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| What's going on with your bug collection? | ||
| Daddy, did you know that some of them have six legs? | ||
| I'm gonna put a pin in this one! | ||
| You found it! | ||
| This has such pretty leaves! | ||
| Look at you, you're a little bug ranger. | ||
| Oh my god, yes! | ||
| Mike the Bug Ranger. | ||
| God, what a bunch of shit. | ||
| This is horrendous. | ||
| Anyway, this is not sustainable. | ||
| I demand that we... | ||
| I demand now. | ||
| I demand that we live in a simulation. | ||
| Because I refuse to believe that a reality would allow that to occur. | ||
| I think if Alex is banking on this and... | ||
| Thinks this is gonna be good. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think he's mistaken. | ||
| I don't think this is gonna work out. | ||
| It's not a good idea. | ||
| Especially if you're putting out this shitty of quality of content that is virtually indistinguishable from Infowars. | ||
| Completely separate from Infowars and free speech systems. | ||
| But the content is almost indistinguishable except for it lacks the elevated air of the studio. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't understand why anybody is going to be that interested, especially when you ramp up production and flood people with more content to fish through. | ||
| Like, I just think this sucks. | ||
| I think this is a big, big, big mistake. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I found the problem with Beanie Babies was maybe that they flooded the market. | ||
| My problem was not enough! | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| Should have been three times as many babies. | ||
| Also, though, I mean, like, the... | ||
| The desperateness that Alex has to differentiate this with free speech systems is fucking hilarious. | ||
| And worth an episode on its own, probably. | ||
| So funny. | ||
| And then also those fireside chats being very suspiciously thematically surrounding fossil fuel industry talking points. | ||
| Of course! | ||
| Is suspicious at best. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I mean, he's got a lot of different sources of funding. | ||
| He's got a bunch of different projects lined up. | ||
| And it just so happens that one of them, he spouts direct oil industry talking points. | ||
| And tries to Trojan horse them on you as news. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| We'll see if that trend continues. | ||
| I'm going to keep my eye on this space. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Well, you can't. | ||
| It's fire. | ||
| It's nature's TV. | ||
| Can't take your eyes away. | ||
| So good. | ||
| Did you see the last episode of fire? | ||
| That crackling noise at hour and 24? | ||
| Caught me off guard. | ||
| Blew me away. | ||
| So we'll be back, Jordan. | ||
| But until then, we have a website. | ||
| Indeed we do. | ||
| It's knowledgefight.com. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| We're also on Twitter. | ||
| We are on Twitter. | ||
| It's at knowledge underscore fight. | ||
| Yeah, we'll be back. | ||
| But until then, I'm Neo. | ||
| I'm Leo. | ||
| I'm DZX Clark. | ||
| Oh, you know what? | ||
