Today, Dan and Jordan check in on the present day to see how Alex is doing. Turns out, he's in a really bad mood, so the world is about to end. To deal with that, Alex spends most of his show listing off scary weapons and justifying cannibalism.

Hello, Alex. | |
| I'm a first time caller. | ||
| I'm a huge fan. | ||
| I love your room. | ||
| Knowledge fight. | ||

|
I love you. | |
| Hey, everybody! | ||
| Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
| 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, quick question for you, buddy. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| What's your bright spot? | ||
| My bright spot today, Jordan, I guess, is that it's snuck up on me considerably, but it's a week away from the shows. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| The live shows in Milwaukee. | ||
| Snuck up on me a lot, too! | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| It's like, oh, it's abstractly in March. | ||
| It's coming up. | ||
| It's next week, and boy, I'll tell you what. | ||
| I'm scrambling. | ||
| The first week of March is the worst time, because you think, you will always think, you know, like, oh. | ||
| I've got a month before this happened, but you forget that that month is February, and that month is a lie. | ||
| Yeah, you see the early 20s and the dates, and you're like, oh. | ||
| I still got time. | ||
| Yeah, plenty of days. | ||
| Now you get three less than you think. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| Maybe it's poor form to tell an audience, presumably before the live show, that's like, shit is up in the air right now, folks. | ||
| I'm still trying to figure out what we're going to do for that live show. | ||
| I think what's important is to temper expectations. | ||
| Listen, you have enjoyed a thing that we have put out nearly 800 episodes of. | ||
| Don't be surprised if you put it in a different... | ||
| I mean, look, there's a little bit of excitement to it, though, is what I'm saying. | ||
| There's a little bit of chaos. | ||
| I mean, you never know what's going to happen exactly in terms of the content, but a week out from the show, I have a pretty good idea about one episode. | ||
| And the other is rapidly falling apart in real time, as people can observe on the podcast, because we're going through this 2004 stuff, and maybe Alex doesn't cover the scream ever. | ||
| Oh, no! | ||
| Maybe this plan was flawed from the jump. | ||
| We'll find out, though. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| You'll have to tune in or show up in Milwaukee to the show that's sold out to find out. | ||
| He may not cover it until 2005. | ||
| That's possible. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| You never have to attack Howard Dean after 2004. | ||
| No, you don't. | ||
| But anyway, it's kind of exciting. | ||
| What's your bright spot? | ||
| My bright spot is the other day we were playing some fidget games and doing the thing on Twitch that I do and Elfring brought up Random Access Memories by Daft Punk. | ||
| And he made the somewhat controversial statement that he thought it was the best Daft Punk album. | ||
| He said that one more time? | ||
| He said that once more. | ||
| With digital love. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| And I re-listened to it, man. | ||
| It's a fantastic album. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It's a fantastic album. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| One of the best of all time? | ||
| It's not as good as Discovery, but it is still a fantastic album. | ||
| I would put it at number two. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| If we were going to fight about it. | ||
| Always nice to revisit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, it was great. | ||
| Lose yourself to dance, my friend. | ||
| I was on the train losing myself to dance today. | ||
| I generally lose myself in the music the moment. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| You better never let it go. | ||
| That's probably wise. | ||
| You only get one shot. | ||
| Do not? | ||
| Miss your chance. | ||
| To go. | ||
| Blow. | ||
| To flow. | ||
| Blow? | ||
| Show? | ||
| I think it's blow. | ||
| Row. | ||
| Opportunity comes once in a lifetime. | ||
| That's all I know. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Yeah, that one I'm confident in. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, Jordan, today we have an episode to go over, and by popular demand, we're checking in on the present day. | ||
| Boo! | ||
| I know. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Here's the deal. | ||
| I know that we have a responsibility and an obligation to cover all things Alex, but as we've said many times, this is not an Alex Jones after show, and if people are... | ||
| Like, gigantically curious about what Alex has to say about X, Y, or Z, they can go listen to his show if they want. | ||
| I think Chris Hardwick does one, an after show of InfoWars. | ||
| I think he's talking wars. | ||
| Talking shit. | ||
| Talking free speech. | ||
| Yeah, and like, you know, I think that generally speaking, most stuff, if you have like a hot button issue... | ||
| Nine times out of ten, you can guess what Alex is gonna say about it. | ||
| His show is not like... | ||
| It's very rare that you're gonna get revelations of like, holy shit, his angle on this is wild. | ||
| But, you know, hey, that doesn't mean that we get to just say, hey, fuck the president, we're gonna just do whatever we want. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Still should check in on it, let people know how things are going in Alex's world. | ||
| So today we're gonna be talking about February 21st, 2023. | ||
| I will say... | ||
| It justifies staying in the past! | ||
| You know what? | ||
| It's a mixed bag! | ||
| It's a mixed bag! | ||
| See? | ||
|
unidentified
|
There we go! | |
| Some ups, some downs! | ||
| I will say that we learn less than maybe in the past, but there's some stuff that is pretty fucking stupid, so that's fun. | ||
| Also, before we get to the wonk shout-outs here, we should really clarify a couple of things, and they are that we both made mistakes. | ||
| On the last episode, you misquoted Marx. | ||
| That's right, I did. | ||
| I quoted Bill Watterson as who I quoted. | ||
| It's interesting, too, because you were so anti-religion and said TV is the opiate of the masses. | ||
| Well, I meant that quote because it's the quote that I was thinking of because I was talking about TV. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But I forgot that that was a Bill Watterson take on the Marx quote. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Religion is the opiate of the masses. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I have chosen the better one. | ||
| That would be Boberson. | ||
| But it was still a misquoting. | ||
| And then I said National Alliance when I met National Vanguard. | ||
| Strom was the founder of the National Vanguard. | ||
| Gotcha. | ||
| No one pointed it out, but as I was listening back, I was like, this is embarrassing. | ||
| Very easy mistake to make. | ||
| Similar names, both Nazis. | ||
| Yeah, I would be fairly embarrassed, but I think I just love Calvin and Hobbes too much. | ||
| This is an opportunity to tell more people about Calvin and Hobbes, so I accept my mistake. | ||
| Oh, yes, the obscure underground comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. | ||
| Oh, man, there's Gen Z people. | ||
| Maybe they don't even know it. | ||
| That's possible. | ||
| So we'll get down to Ben's on today's episode, but first, let's say hello, Jordan, to some new wonks. | ||
| Oh, that's a great idea. | ||
| So first, I'm an Aussie, I grow pineapples, I rescue bats, I'm an IT nerd, and my name is Sean. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| Thank you! | ||
| Next, just joined. | ||
| Still waiting on my sex robot. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| Next, I'm worried about Uncle Paldi, presented by Mountain Dew Barry Monsoon, a Sam's Club exclusive. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| Thank you! | ||
| Next, wait a second. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| I'm new. | ||
| So is Dan DJ Danarchy? | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you very much! | |
| To clarify, no, I am not. | ||
| It would be fun if you had an alter ego that we both treated as 100% real. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| That would be fun. | ||
| And then, like, at the live show, I just performed with, like, a dance punk hat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You put a hat? | |
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Next, congrats to Spencer on her new business, which I assure you is not related to free speech systems. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wank. | ||
| I'm a policy wank. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| And every night before bed, I enjoy a policy wank while listening to techno rap. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wank. | ||
| I'm a policy boss. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| They requested that I try and do something that they don't know what techno rap is, but that I should do it. | ||
| They don't know what techno rap is. | ||
| And the closest thing I could come up with for that was Bangkok, Oriental City, but the city don't know what the city is getting. | ||
| The creme de la creme of the chess world at a show of everything but Yule Branagh. | ||
| Time flies. | ||
| Doesn't see my minutes. | ||
| I don't like how you're looking at me. | ||
| I'm just enjoying this. | ||
| You don't know One Night in Bangkok? | ||
| No, I don't. | ||
|
unidentified
|
One Night in Bangkok makes the hard man humble. | |
| A run of truly great musical performance from you. | ||
| Not much between despair and ecstasy. | ||
| I'm finding it to be... | ||
| Like, that's our bit for 2023. | ||
| We've had Blackjack, we've had... | ||
| I'm gonna run out of songs, though. | ||
| No, you are not, sir. | ||
| I've asked you questions, now you've got songs for days. | ||
| I think you should, first of all, find out about... | ||
| One Night in Bangkok. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| It makes the hard man humble. | ||
| I mean, I could use that. | ||
| Also, check out Where It's From, which is a musical called Chess, which is all about chess. | ||
| I'm sorry, what? | ||
| Yeah, there's a musical called Chess. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And there's a guy named Murray Head who had a song in the, I guess, late 80s, early 90s, maybe? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah, One Night in Bangkok. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So, One Night in Bangkok. | ||
| It's about going to a chess bar. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| Just real quick. | ||
| You asked me, you don't know One Night in Bangkok? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| As though I was a fool. | ||
| It's a big hit. | ||
| And then you went on to tell me that it's from a musical called Chess. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| In the 80s and 90s. | ||
| I'd bring you along. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would invite you, but the queens we use would not excite you. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| All right. | ||
| I'm down. | ||
| Playing chess. | ||
| Yes, I understand. | ||
| I recognize that. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| Murray Head! | ||
| My bright spot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Anyway. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| So, here's an out-of-context drop from today's show. | ||
| Coming to you from people in the heart of Texas, broadcasting worldwide, I'm the Alex Jones host of the Alex Jones show. | ||
| Smooth. | ||
| Yep, yep. | ||
| Caught that one. | ||
| I am the Alex Jones host. | ||
| Power through. | ||
| I feel like we've heard him say that before. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Anyway, we start today with a pretty severe tone. | ||
| I'll say that if you want to have listened to this entire episode in, I don't know, 45 seconds, it's probably just this. | ||
| This is an emergency broadcast, Tuesday, February 21st, 2023. | ||
| As we speak in a fascistic nighttime outdoor speech, Biden is basically declaring war on Russia publicly and pledging absolute military commitment. | ||
| Putin is saying, threatening that nuclear war is imminent. | ||
| This is getting more insane by the minute. | ||
| So incredibly dangerous. | ||
| I really don't have words at this point to describe how this spiraling, this death spiral threatens us all. | ||
| I don't think you need me to... | ||
| Explain that to you. | ||
| Yeah, so Biden has declared war on Russia, and Putin's saying the nukes are locked and loaded. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| That's basically all that's going on. | ||
| It's pretty severe. | ||
| It's scary. | ||
| It surprised me to hear because these things didn't happen. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It bums me. | ||
| Here's what bums me out, all right? | ||
| I have been told in anger that Chicago's getting nuked. | ||
| Regularly, right? | ||
| Now, here he is all sad because we really might be in a nuclear superpower war. | ||
| That's not fair. | ||
| Well, he's still angry. | ||
| Sure, but he's like... | ||
| I mean, just he's got to ramp into it. | ||
| I don't need to tell you how dangerous this is. | ||
| Obviously, you've been telling me for the past 20 years that I'm going to get personally nuked. | ||
| Give him time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| He's got to slow cook this anger. | ||
| Okay, I'm still going to get in. | ||
| Yeah, it'll come. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It'll come. | |
| This is just the beginning of the show, my friend. | ||
| That's on me. | ||
| So, there's nukes. | ||
| And it's a 100% chance that some nukes are going to be used. | ||
| And then some numbers get tweaked. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But this is pretty... | ||
| I mean, look, we're all dead. | ||
| On the course we're on right now, there is a 100% chance nuclear weapons are going to be used, and in almost every actuary or war profile war game that's been done, if tacticals get used, you've got about an 80% chance it'll lead to a wider nuclear war. | ||
| When you look at the numbers of the wider nuclear war, it's about a 100% chance... | ||
| It'll eat a total commitment. | ||
| That means just a spasm of mass death. | ||
| So, we're a pretty satanic evil planet, aren't we? | ||
| And it goes to say we just blow ourselves up. | ||
| Real good chance, ladies and gentlemen, that we're facing the end of the world. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Hope everybody enjoys it. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
| The cavalry has arrived. | ||
| Ultimate Bone Broth. | ||
| Ooh, the cavalry has arrived! | ||
| Well, I mean, look, that's jarring. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Okay, so if I'm to understand this as it plays, we're all dead. | ||
| Nuclear war is coming. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| Great news, though. | ||
| The solution to this is Ultimate Bone Broth. | ||
| That is good news. | ||
| And it is back in stock. | ||
| I would have preferred a little bit more connective tissue. | ||
| A little bit more. | ||
| There's probably connective tissue in that bone broth. | ||
| With a chaga mushroom. | ||
| Yep, that's probably true. | ||
| And cocoa. | ||
| What else is in there? | ||
| Bee pollen. | ||
| I think, maybe. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's a lot of ingredients. | ||
| It sounds so much, all of these things, like some guy just had a bunch of stuff in his back office and he threw it into a mix and was like, I think I can sell this. | ||
| I think I can tell this. | ||
| Put it in milk. | ||
| It tastes like Lucky Charms. | ||
| Everyone operates on three witch's principles. | ||
| Alex actually says that at one point. | ||
| He's like, this tastes like... | ||
| We had some people on staff say it tastes like Lucky Charms. | ||
| I'm like, I bet it doesn't. | ||
| That's the worst thing that a broth can taste like. | ||
| Yeah, whose bones are you... | ||
| Who wants broth that tastes like Lucky Charms? | ||
| That's terrifying. | ||
| So we are in a situation in the world right now that is not unlike a bullfight. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| There's a matador and there's a bull. | ||
| The globalists. | ||
| Do either of them have nuclear weapons? | ||
| All of them. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The globalists are the matadors. | ||
| Russia is the bull. | ||
| However, this metaphor is a little bit different than you might think. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But in this confrontation... | ||
| Because it's already torture. | ||
| The matador is the New World Order deep state. | ||
| The bull is Russia. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| But in this game, when the matador sticks his sword into the heart of the bull... | ||
| The bull explodes and blows up everyone in the stadium. | ||
| The only way to win is not to play this game. | ||
| It's nothing like a matador and a bull, then. | ||
| Generally speaking, the only way to win between the matador and the bull is one of them leaves and the other one does not. | ||
| Well, if you were a matador and you knew the bull exploded and blew up the stadium... | ||
| Right. | ||
| You probably wouldn't be a matador, would you? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It depends. | ||
| Are you in on it? | ||
| Were you the greatest matador in history? | ||
| And somebody was like, hey, I've got this plan. | ||
| What we're going to do is we're going to stuff this bowl full of explosives that will only trigger when you poke it in its heart. | ||
| Cementing the final kill. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And that will overthrow... | ||
| I have to assume that since metaphorically the globalists are the matador, they're well aware. | ||
| Yeah, that's a good point. | ||
| Yeah, I can't see any other scenario here. | ||
| I'm struggling with this metaphor, I think, is the main problem. | ||
| Yeah, it's dumb, that's why. | ||
| Yeah, that's a good point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So we've heard, Alex, recently, and... | ||
| Whenever he's feeling down in the past, talk about like, oh, I gotta flee Austin. | ||
| I gotta get out of this liberal hellhole that I love living in. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| On the downswing, he does want to leave. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It turns out he's downswinging hard. | ||
| I had to have a discussion with my wife this morning about leaving the United States for the Southern Hemisphere. | ||
| And I'm going to be completely honest with all of you. | ||
| I've said I'll never surrender. | ||
| I won't back down from the deep state here. | ||
| Even things can be fixed in America. | ||
| But America is so far gone, as we can all see, that I am strongly having to consider evacuating the United States. | ||
| Still will be hell if we're in Argentina or someplace. | ||
| During a nuclear war, there'll be a nuclear winter and it'll be bad. | ||
| And I know a lot of billionaires and people that have already fled to places like New Zealand and Hawaii, Hawaii. | ||
| I don't have the money for bunkers and all the rest of it. | ||
| Maybe not anymore. | ||
| Well, not anymore. | ||
| No, that's a good point. | ||
| All I hear when Alex talks like this is, I just got bad news from the bankruptcy court. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| This gloomy shit has no connection to reality. | ||
| It's all just a projection of his mood. | ||
| When Alex thinks he's pulling a fast one and things are gonna work out, he tells the audience that the globalists are on the ropes and the good guys are gonna win just as long as you keep that money flowing. | ||
| When Alex has reasons to believe that his schemes to keep his money safe from the courts aren't gonna work, well, it's the end of the world. | ||
| of Alex's show are so repulsive to me when in reality his actual content isn't really much worse than it was in 2018 or around that time. | ||
| One theory that I've come up with is that Alex's show in the present day is actively abusive towards its listeners in a way that's increased, and I think it makes me mad. | ||
| This is kind of just him having a childish outburst on the show and trying to make everyone feel as miserable and panicked as he does. | ||
| And it's not that fun to take seriously as something worth paying attention to. | ||
| The only thing that even makes me raise an eyebrow here is that Alex is upping the ante from pretending he's about to leave Austin to pretending he's about to leave the country. | ||
| Also, probably not a coincidence that he chose Argentina as the country he'd like to flee to, seeing as it was the destination of a lot of high-level Nazis like Eichmann and Mengele. | ||
| Also, let's be very fucking clear about this. | ||
| Alex better follow all relevant laws in terms of immigration. | ||
| I wrote down, you want to become an immigrant, huh? | ||
| I swear, I mean, I would be in any fucking country. | ||
| In this circumstance, would you be a refugee? | ||
| Any fucking country in the world should not allow him in. | ||
| Like, that's crazy. | ||
| To me, that's crazy. | ||
| Because sooner or later, if you let him in, he's going to start getting mad at other people coming in. | ||
| That's insane! | ||
| There is no doubt that that cycle would perpetuate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| Keep him out! | ||
| I think one would be wise to keep him out of the country, but at the same time, were he fleeing for legitimate reasons, you know, like if he were actually a refugee in some way, his abhorrent opinions maybe wouldn't be as important as protecting his human rights, but I don't believe that's the circumstance we're in. | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| Fuck you, Alex. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yup. | |
| It's just like, there's so much of this that is just lashing out. | ||
| And when I hear him talking about like, oh my god, all this nukes, they're right around the corner, we're all fucked, and all this, it's like, I can't disaggregate that from his entire, like, my life is really bad right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| And that to me doesn't seem... | ||
| That interesting. | ||
| It seems like he's a fucking baby who wants everyone to be miserable. | ||
| I mean, here's what's not fun. | ||
| Here's what makes it so fucking terrible. | ||
| Is now that I know what's going on in his other life where there's real money involved. | ||
| Then it's like, I mean, as we're talking here, I'm listening to this and I'm also aware that Mark is trying to get his lawyer disbarred. | ||
| Like, I am aware of those two things at the same time. | ||
| So I am not worried about a nuclear war or even willing to take it seriously because I am worried. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| to engage with his version of this story is to like... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Being juxtaposed onto nuclear war concerns. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's a fool's game to play, quite frankly. | ||
| I mean, I don't want to have a conversation with somebody who is clearly not having that conversation at all. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Why would I talk to you about nuclear war? | ||
| Your conversation is about how your lawyer is going to be disbarred. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Your conversation is about that and about how you're going to be broke. | ||
| You're going out of business. | ||
| And your attempts to shield yourself are... | ||
| Gradually not working. | ||
| People are seeing through your bullshit. | ||
| Alex Jones Live was a charade that was doomed to failure. | ||
| How? | ||
| Still no new episodes of that, unfortunately. | ||
| And him saying, I think it's time for me to leave the country, is also him being like, well, the only way I'm going to get to keep my money is if I hide it outside of the United States. | ||
| Cougar ants! | ||
| I mean, it is at Argentina. | ||
| I'm going to choose places where they don't allow money. | ||
| I honestly think that that came to a Probably because Nazis. | ||
| Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. | ||
| It really does feel that way. | ||
| I don't know why he doesn't have any affinity for South America outside of Brazil. | ||
| Not anymore. | ||
| Not anymore. | ||
| Definitely not anymore. | ||
| Probably because Rhodesia doesn't exist anymore. | ||
| It does to him in his heart. | ||
| Well, then I'm surprised he's not going there. | ||
| I am not. | ||
| So look, it's severe. | ||
| Shit is going down. | ||
| You may feel like... | ||
| You're immune from this, but there are Russian submarines off our coast in the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Gulf of Mexico that could destroy every U.S. city in five minutes. | ||
| Five minutes. | ||
| Mach 9 missiles that cannot be shot down. | ||
| Five minutes. | ||
| Chicago, New York, Austin, L.A., Miami. | ||
| Tampa! | ||
| Seattle! | ||
| Minneapolis-St. | ||
| Paul! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Detroit! | |
| Houston! | ||
| Paris-Illinois! | ||
| Because they didn't know any better! | ||
| Gone! | ||
| Truth and consequences! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gone! | |
| Gone! | ||
| The ICBMs can be here in... | ||
| Twelve to fifteen minutes. | ||
| And also wherever you can stand in like five states, they're going to blow that up too. | ||
| But just for consistency. | ||
| And we're dealing with the Russians that lost 22 million people in World War II. | ||
| And they're ready for nuclear war. | ||
| And Putin gave a speech on that yesterday. | ||
| So Putin gave a state-of-the-country address, and he didn't say that he's ready to nuke everyone. | ||
| He did have some interesting things to say about U.S. political decisions, though. | ||
| Oh, yeah? | ||
| For instance, he said, quote, The whole world witnessed how they withdrew from fundamental agreements on weapons, including the Treaty on Intermediate and Shorter-Range Missiles, unilaterally tearing up the fundamental agreements that maintain world peace. | ||
| For some reason, they did it. | ||
| They do not do anything without a reason, as we know. | ||
| For the record, Trump did that, not the globalists. | ||
| All of the people Alex hates wanted Trump not to do that. | ||
| But Alex supported Trump's decision, which is one of the specifics that Putin cites in his speech criticizing the U.S. Funny. | ||
| Which is weird. | ||
| Funny how that works. | ||
| It's a very, very long, boring speech, mostly about economic issues and the airing of grievances. | ||
| Some valid, some outrageous. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| The part where Putin brings up nuclear weapons is this. | ||
| We're aware of the fact that certain types of US nuclear weapons are reaching the end of their service life. | ||
| In this regard, we know for certain that some politicians in Washington are already pondering live nuclear tests, especially since the US is developing innovative nuclear weapons. | ||
| There's information to this effect. | ||
| Given these circumstances, the Defense Ministry and Rosatom must make everything ready for Russia to conduct nuclear tests. | ||
| We will not be the first to proceed with these tests, but if the US goes ahead with them, we will as well. | ||
| No one should harbor dangerous illusions that global strategic parity can be disrupted. | ||
| It is a bad sign for a head of state to be talking about a new nuclear arms race, but there's a chasm between what Putin said and how Alex is reporting it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's because Alex is a liar and a sensationalist who's feeling really down today, and so everything is so bad. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So bad. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I suppose I would be... | ||
| I think I could be persuaded that there is a 100% chance in the lifetime of nuclear weapons that they will be used again. | ||
| I would not be... | ||
| I think I would accept that. | ||
| I think I would accept that there's a 100% chance that that will happen. | ||
| I mean, 100's a big number. | ||
| It is, but I don't know if there's any way that we can understand human beings and who we put in charge of nuclear weapons without eventually recognizing that somebody's going to either do it on purpose or on accident. | ||
| Well, you know, like in a long enough scale, everything that can happen probably will happen. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| But we don't need... | ||
| Too much evidence that we need a long scale. | ||
| We've already had at least three different possible world-ending events happen. | ||
| No, that's true. | ||
| I think I'll go as far as to say I think there's a high likelihood that nuclear weapons will be used. | ||
| Accidentally or intentionally again at some point. | ||
| But I also think that there is a possibility, there is a possible future where sincere and serious disarmament happens. | ||
| Now, unfortunately, I think that maybe one of the catalysts for that would be like accidental nuclear explosion of some sort. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| Maybe I don't have quite as gloomy a take on it as you. | ||
| But maybe that's just because I'm experiencing Alex's gloomy take. | ||
| I don't know if it's a gloomy take. | ||
| I think it's just the problem is what you described. | ||
| A lot of the times, in order to not do something again, humans have to do it again. | ||
| Well, I see that as a possible catalyst. | ||
| There are other possible catalysts. | ||
| Totally, totally. | ||
| It does seem like if you have that one, though... | ||
| Then you don't get to do the second part where you disarm. | ||
| Either way, whatever the reality and the possibility of this stuff is, it's disconnected from what Alex is saying. | ||
| Oh yeah, 100%. | ||
| Alex is on one. | ||
| I know, that's why I thought of it. | ||
| I was like, that's an interesting thought, and what he said is not. | ||
| Yeah, so Putin gave a speech that Alex is misrepresenting. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And hey, why not? | ||
| Let's have a two-for-one special. | ||
| Biden is also giving a speech that Alex is misrepresenting. | ||
| Let's misrepresent them all. | ||
| Biden is still bumbling and stumbling in a nighttime fascistic speech in Warsaw, Poland, on the border with Russia, rattling the nuclear sabers. | ||
| As soon as we get a transcript of it, we'll read excerpts of it. | ||
| This is pathetic. | ||
| Alex has not watched any of that speech, and he's characterizing it as nuclear saber rattling. | ||
| In reality, Biden was mostly talking about growing up in Claymont, Delaware, where there's a lot of Polish people around, and he, quote, grew up feeling self-conscious. | ||
| My name didn't end in a ski or an O. All right. | ||
| It's really appealing to the Polish population. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| He was also expressing appreciation for Poland, accepting 1.7 million displaced Ukrainians who fled after Putin invaded. | ||
| So, I mean, like, it's, you know, obviously, sure, there's also expressions of solidarity with NATO. | ||
| Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| But yeah, it's not like... | ||
| We're gonna fuck shit up. | ||
| I mean, yeah, Putin did some like, hey, fuck you, and Biden was like, eh, well, let's just, mm, okay. | ||
| So there's all these speeches, and Alex decides he's gonna set an ambitious goal for himself, which as soon as I heard, I was like, he's not gonna do this shit. | ||
| I have Putin's eight-page speech here, and I have clips of it that have English overdubs. | ||
| We're gonna be playing some clips. | ||
| But I really think this speech is so important. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| That I'm gonna read it in its entirety at the start of the next hour. | ||
| Do it. | ||
| And then we'll also play excerpts of Biden. | ||
| Maybe we'll play the whole thing. | ||
| Yeah, there's not a chance you're gonna read that whole speech. | ||
| First of all, because it doesn't work for you. | ||
| I mean, some parts of it do. | ||
| Like, little snippets of it definitely work. | ||
| Like, there is some stuff that... | ||
| Sounds like Alex, quite frankly. | ||
| If he were to cherry-pick stuff out of there, he could use it for his purposes. | ||
| But, like, it's long, and most of it isn't helpful. | ||
| Secondarily, like, you hear him like, maybe we'll play some of Biden's speech. | ||
| And then, like, the flip side of it is, you know, Putin's, basically his State of the Union is such an important speech. | ||
| You kind of get a sense of... | ||
| Who he looks up to. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I just heard eight pages and I was like, oh, I'm not worried. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Yeah, he's not reading that shit. | ||
| If it was eight paragraphs, I'd be like, oh, boy, I'm not worried. | ||
| Eight sentences. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Getting closer. | |
| Yeah, a 50-50 shot at that. | ||
| Eight words, maybe. | ||
| He'll read seven of the eight accurately and then he'll make up the other one. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So, you know, we got world leaders who are saying various things. | ||
| Biden's giving a fascistic speech in Poland. | ||
| Wow, what a weird place to do that too, right? | ||
| Putin is threatening nukes in the most important speech that Alex has ever heard. | ||
| But what, say, Trump? | ||
| Let's go ahead and first play a clip of Trump. | ||
| And he's absolutely right. | ||
| Trump, if he was president, could end this war by snapping his fingers. | ||
| Here's the clip. | ||
|
unidentified
|
From the day I took over, but from the night I won. | |
| And I call two people. | ||
| You know the two people, Lord? | ||
| Putin, right? | ||
| You know Putin and Zelensky. | ||
| And I say, we're going to meet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're going to meet. | |
| And I guarantee I could work that out. | ||
| I guarantee. | ||
| I know exactly what I say, by the way. | ||
| I know exactly. | ||
| I tell one guy this, and I tell one guy that, and I say, you better make a deal. | ||
| We would have a deal made in 24 hours. | ||
| President... | ||
| Well, that's right, because Trump knows that the West is running this war and the United States is running NATO. | ||
| So picture NATO is a big robot that's remote control. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And it's starting World War III on the border with Russia right now. | ||
| And so Trump knows if he was in the White House, he'd be in control of that robot. | ||
| And Hillary said she wanted war with Russia if she got elected six-plus years ago, but she didn't. | ||
| The spiral or fraud. | ||
| And so for four years, we didn't have this war start. | ||
| But now, a year after Biden gets in, it all kicks off. | ||
| And U.S. forces and NATO forces were in there killing Russians, Russians killing them. | ||
| I mean, I know a lot of people. | ||
| NATO forces are not in there. | ||
| That have already served multiple terrors in the Ukraine war long before. | ||
| No, you absolutely do not. | ||
| Launched a counteroffensive. | ||
| Multiple tours. | ||
| And that's what the police action was. | ||
| And I'm not defending Putin or Russia. | ||
| I'm not a Russophile. | ||
| I don't lionize Russia. | ||
| But Russia is not on our doorstep, and Russia did not start this. | ||
| Yes, they did! | ||
| They did. | ||
| That is how... | ||
| Words work! | ||
| So Alex knows multiple people who have served multiple tours in the last year. | ||
| Give me a fucking name. | ||
| Give me how long their tour was. | ||
| Give me where they were based out of. | ||
| Can't do it because I'm making it up. | ||
| Give me any bit of a tour. | ||
| A tour. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| A tour. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They got stop loss. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| What are we doing? | ||
| There's a draft, actually, that's going to be. | ||
| We're right around the corner from Alex scaring people about the draft coming back. | ||
| There's a lot. | ||
| War in Ukraine. | ||
| There's a lot of sad fiancés in Tennessee just waiting for their future husbands to come home from that tour in Ukraine. | ||
| Dearest Myrtle, I found myself outside the Donbass. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| It's been a long time since I've thought of Greg Giraldo. | ||
| So, wild nonsense. | ||
| But also, so weird. | ||
| What would he need to do? | ||
| To consider himself pro-Putin. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| Like, what level... | ||
| I guess he'd... | ||
| Like, he probably thinks that his support of Trump was, like, right on the lower level of Trump's support. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, like... | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Crying about how he would die for Trump is like, this is just rational support for a politician. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I kind of like him a little bit. | |
| You know, I like him. | ||
| He's just a god king. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like any one of us. | ||
| He thinks that the way he treats Putin is, like, nuanced. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And, like, just kind of like, hey, conditional support. | ||
| Go into this guy. | ||
| Meanwhile, I'm gonna just completely lie about stuff in service of making him out to be the good guy here. | ||
| It breaks my heart that people listen to Trump say shit like that and then cheer or clap or don't go, jump into a fire! | ||
| Like, I don't understand. | ||
| Because here's the thing. | ||
| It would take me more than 24 hours to even understand why they're really fighting. | ||
| It would take more than 24 hours to learn the history of Russia and Ukraine. | ||
| To learn what it is that you would even be trying to achieve with this treaty. | ||
| Are you trying to just stop the war? | ||
| Or are you trying to make something that lasts as peace? | ||
| He's probably just thinking, I could bully these guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly! | |
| Yeah. | ||
| That's an insane person! | ||
| Now, also, just while we're on the subject of Trump, there was a clip going around of him at McDonald's. | ||
| I don't know if you saw this. | ||
| No! | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah, so he's ordering some stuff at McDonald's in Ohio. | ||
| He went to, like, East Palestine. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| And he says to the people, what's your special today? | ||
| And, like, people were saying, like, oh, yeah, like, making fun of it. | ||
| Like, he's being funny. | ||
| He doesn't think that there's a daily special at McDonald's? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I used to work at, like, fast food places, and there would be some people who would have that, like, cute flourish or whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| I feel like people taking that seriously is a little bit, like, that's... | ||
| Nonsense. | ||
| That makes no sense to me whatsoever, not least of which because Trump is probably the only president in my lifetime who 100% understands the McDonald's menu. | ||
| And he makes that point. | ||
| He makes that point. | ||
| He makes that point in the video. | ||
| I mean, he brought the fucking winners of the Super Bowl. | ||
| No, wasn't it the Golden State Warriors or something to the White House and fed them a giant McDonald's dinner? | ||
| He says to the McDonald's workers, I know the menu better than you. | ||
| He does! | ||
| I bet he fucking does! | ||
| I don't know about his ability to memorize things. | ||
| Oh, that's fair. | ||
| But yeah, I think he has some familiarity. | ||
| Yeah, that's a man who knows McDonald's. | ||
| But yeah, I actually thought that was funny. | ||
| Yeah, that's legitimately for him. | ||
| It's funny in the like... | ||
| Street joke to a person who works at a fast food place. | ||
| You know, like, oh, what's the daily, my regards to the chef, or something like that. | ||
| I mean, when the member of the waitstaff comes to our table and I'm eating with my family, my dad will do many jokes similarly in vain. | ||
| Yeah, they're not meant to be serious. | ||
| People taking that seriously. | ||
| That's unfair. | ||
| Yeah, you gotta figure out what it is we're really mad at if you're taking that seriously. | ||
| So Alex plays a clip of Biden here, and I think he really wants it to sound worse than it does, but it doesn't really sound that bad, and so he's gotta really vamp and just go dark afterwards. | ||
| Here's a little bit of the beginning of Biden's nighttime rally he just had in Warsaw, Poland. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hello, Poland! | |
| You are great allies. | ||
| President Judah, Prime Minister, Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Mayor, all former ministers and presidents, as well as mayors and Polish political leaders from all across the country, thank you for welcoming back to Poland. | ||
| Now it was nearly one year ago. | ||
| I spoke at the Royal Council here in Warsaw. | ||
| Just weeks after Vladimir Putin had unleashed his murderous assault on Ukraine, the largest land war in Europe since World War II had begun. | ||
| And the principles that have been the cornerstone of peace, prosperity, and stability on this planet for more than 75 years were at risk of being shattered. | ||
| One year ago, The world was bracing for the fall of Keeve. | ||
| Well, I just come from a visit to Keeve, and I can report Keeve stands strong. | ||
| Keeve stands proud. | ||
| It stands tall. | ||
| And most importantly, it stands free. | ||
| That's enough. | ||
| Let's come back with more of it. | ||
| Zelensky was elected. | ||
| With the promise of peace that accelerated the proxy war. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| And he now has shut down all opposition parties, including loyal opposition that were pro-war. | ||
| He shut down the Orthodox Church. | ||
| And he's torturing and killing tens of thousands of people every week or so. | ||
| I'm sorry? | ||
| And executing people in public. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Running around raping and killing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're hearing Ukraine is free? | |
| And are we free? | ||
| With Joe Biden declaring conservatives and white people the number one terror threat, dissolving our borders and letting them ship in fentanyl and smuggle children by the hundreds of thousands. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| It is incredible. | ||
| And that it's not credible. | ||
| So what happened here is that Alex hadn't viewed that clip in advance, and he thought it would work a little better for the narratives that he'd been building. | ||
| Once it played and it was pretty innocuous, he needed to do some heavy lifting himself, hence the rambling about how evil Zelensky is. | ||
| None of that stuff that Alex is saying here is stuff that he can really substantiate, but I wanted to talk about the torture thing for a moment here. | ||
| What Alex is referring to when he says that Zelensky is torturing people to death on a That had been liberated. | ||
| That's the area that had been... | ||
| that was previously occupied by Russia. | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Those were Russian torture chambers. | |
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| Ukrainian forces are not without criticism for actions that are taken, you know, in the context of the war. | ||
| But what Alex is doing here is disgusting whitewashing for Russia's militarism. | ||
| You could say that once all the facts are out in the open, he'll be shown to be a promoter of torture and human rights abuse, but I think we all know that he exists within his own reality, and that day of reckoning is never coming. | ||
| Cecil still pretends that Trump is the president. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| He can take news about Ukraine finding torture chambers in liberated areas that were previously held by Russia, and he can say, oh my god, Zelensky is torturing people to death thousands a week or whatever. | ||
| It's outrageous. | ||
| Think about living in Russia. | ||
| Either you know, as a Russian citizen, that your government and your military is torturing people after they launched a war of conquest on them, or you believe whatever it is that Putin says. | ||
| So I don't see why that would be any different for Alex. | ||
| True. | ||
| Plenty of people know that their army is doing shit and Alex gets to say whatever he wants. | ||
| And what I think is kind of interesting about that dynamic is that Alex doesn't even really seem that interested in taking in all of Putin's speech. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because, like, you know, it's one thing to, like, be someone like Alex, but, like... | ||
| Take in the speech, really work with the talking points that are being expressed by Putin. | ||
| And it's another thing to just be like, yeah, I kind of get what he's saying. | ||
| I've heard a few clips or whatever, and I'll make up the defenses myself for the rest of it. | ||
| It is strange. | ||
| He's taking on a lot of that labor himself, and part of the reason is because it's too hard. | ||
| And, of course, the truth is they went in, they overthrew governments, they blew up government buildings, they mowed police down with machine guns, they sent in the weapons, they destabilized Ukraine, and all Putin wanted was don't make it part of NATO and stop it. | ||
| But, of course, that didn't happen. | ||
| And now Putin has taken the bait and gone there. | ||
| You know, I said I was going to read over Putin's speech, but it's long, it's important. | ||
| I'm going to have Ben in there, the room right through the window, post the full speech. | ||
| Putin gave last night, please. | ||
| A transcript of it under the live show feed. | ||
| Nah, it's too long. | ||
| Can't do it. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| All Putin wanted was them to not be a part of NATO and stop it. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| What does a stop it mean? | ||
| That means stop existing outside of the Soviet Union. | ||
| Stop it. | ||
| I mean, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| I mean, I'm sorry. | ||
| Not the Soviets. | ||
| Whoa, something completely different. | ||
| Putin doesn't have any interest in the USSR whatsoever. | ||
| I understand the demand of not be a part of NATO, because that's specific. | ||
| Stop it is a little bit vague. | ||
| I mean, stop getting rid of any sort of corruption. | ||
| I genuinely don't know. | ||
| Stop claiming your territorial integrity in terms of the Donbass region. | ||
| Crimea and all this. | ||
| Stop your independentness. | ||
| It is a testament to the fact that Alex knows how wrong he is. | ||
| That he refuses to engage with Putin's shit. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I think it's lazy. | ||
| Putin is comically evil. | ||
| Comically evil, unless you're underneath the sway of his own propaganda. | ||
| Yeah, but here's the thing. | ||
| I disagree with you because the non-engagement that he's doing here is not reading Putin's speech. | ||
| Well, that's fair. | ||
| Which is not comically evil because it's him saying the things. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know, there is the shiny veneer of propaganda already on there. | ||
| Alex is not engaging with that because he's fucking lazy. | ||
| Yeah, that I agree with you on. | ||
| He's not engaging with the larger world as it exists because it would threaten the fragile narrative stability that he has about who are the good guys, who are the bad guys, and what's really going on. | ||
| And his fundamental worldview exists only on the level of the person I like is doing evil things, so I have to justify those by saying the people that I don't like are doing more. | ||
| True. | ||
| If he were to learn about Putin, he would not be able to do that. | ||
| Putin is comically evil. | ||
| But here's the problem. | ||
| He already knows this stuff. | ||
| He's just pretending he doesn't know it. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| I told you he pretends he's not knowing. | ||
| Go back in time and he knows all the shit about the apartment bombings and the Chechens. | ||
| Now, oh no, I don't know any of that stuff. | ||
| That's all fake news. | ||
| He's keeping it from his audience on purpose. | ||
| And he's keeping it from himself on purpose. | ||
| But we see that same dynamic play out over and over again. | ||
| The best example I can think of in recent memory is the Bill Barr remembering things about him whenever he was against Bush and then conveniently forgetting them whenever he was the Patriots Attorney General. | ||
| It's pathetic. | ||
| And it's abusive to the audience. | ||
| Anyway, we now enter a period of the show where Alex is... | ||
| I mean, I don't know how else to describe this other than killing time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Based on the conversation we've had, it took me a second to realize that killing time meant like he is... | ||
| Wasting time. | ||
| Because we've been talking a lot about killing, so I was like, I'm worried he's about to say, it's killing time. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Do you see where my head went? | ||
| He's not the thing, and it is not clobbering time. | ||
| Okay, good. | ||
| But he is just like, poof. | ||
| He spends a lot of time talking about various nuclear weapons. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Various types of nuclear weapons. | ||
| Yeah, and then he just lists off other weapons and stuff. | ||
| Great. | ||
| We also know the Russians have a lot of weapons they haven't rolled out. | ||
| The U.S. has them as well. | ||
| That are high-powered, basically particle beam radiation guns. | ||
| Sorry, what now? | ||
| And the problem is they're very large and hard to hide. | ||
| You've got a lot of, up to a foot of lead shielding, jacketing them on the back end of them. | ||
| And those weapons you can then just basically aim from a hilltop or an area of topography that is at the median level. | ||
| Then they widen out the spectrum of the beam, depending on how powerful they want it, to say 100 feet tall and about a millimeter wide. | ||
| And then you just fry all the life as you move that beam through the structures. | ||
| And I would imagine you'll start seeing those before they roll out. | ||
| The tactical nukes and the neutron bombs. | ||
| And again, I'm just going off the reports of the specs I've read, the things I've seen. | ||
| I'm not an engineer. | ||
| I'm not a nuclear physicist. | ||
| I'm not giving you the proper parlance or nomenclature. | ||
| I'm not laying out the types of things that are there. | ||
| Then there's bioweapons. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| There are race-specific bioweapons. | ||
| No, there are not. | ||
| There are... | ||
| Already mutated viral lines that mutate very quickly so they only kill the first or second wave of people you release. | ||
| That's if you don't want to blow back on you. | ||
| That doesn't work. | ||
| There obviously are a lot of advanced chemical weapons. | ||
| And I would expect you're going to see the radiation guns, the particle beam guns. | ||
| They've also got high-powered... | ||
| I'm so bored. | ||
| He's just listing off terrifying weapons. | ||
| He's listing off sci-fi weapons. | ||
| Well, some of them, yes. | ||
| And it is interesting to note, I think, that Alex has this 20-year preoccupation with race-specific bioweapons. | ||
| It is just something that... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, it would be... | |
| Almost surprising to recognize that he is a racist and is obsessed with race-specific bioweapons if that were not the opposite of surprising. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I mean, the idea of race-specific bioweapons is only there to justify the idea that there are different races. | ||
| No one would create that, not least of which because we know that's not how things work. | ||
| If there's anything that COVID should have taught everybody, it's that bioweapons and viruses and the shit like that mutate beyond your control. | ||
| You don't have control of them. | ||
| Well, I mean, we heard very clearly through a large portion of the early time of the COVID outbreak that Alex was saying it was a race-specific bioweapon. | ||
| And maybe the Chinese government released it on their own people in order. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| It's just something that he always... | ||
| It's always there in his mind. | ||
| Yeah, and it makes sense to him because race is real to him, and it's not real, and neither are race-specific bioweapons. | ||
| So, we have now a list of all these weapons. | ||
| So many weapons. | ||
| And that leads, Alex, to describing basically an end-of-the-world scenario. | ||
| And I didn't have a clip of this, but earlier in the episode, he did describe this as his prediction of the next year. | ||
| So keep in mind... | ||
| So this is our 2023 prediction? | ||
| Well, I guess so. | ||
| It's as close as we've gotten so far. | ||
| Because he said that there's a 100% chance of tactical nukes being used. | ||
| And then there's an 80% chance after that point of all-out nuclear war. | ||
| And he said he thinks it's going to happen within the next year. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So keep in mind that this... | ||
| Is what you have to look forward to before Christmas. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The Western war planners, with all of their meteor guns in orbit... | ||
| They have meteor guns in orbit? | ||
| ...and decapitation weapons that aren't nuclear or hydrogen but use kinetic energy of DU's Shabot rounds, will then try to decapitate the Russian leadership. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They will probably fail. | |
| And those around Putin are even more hardline. | ||
| If they do, that's probably even worse. | ||
| And then at that point, I don't think the West is going to wait. | ||
| They'll launch a full attack on all Russian assets. | ||
| They'll get 80% of it, 70% of it, and then the Russian submarines will completely destroy North America. | ||
| Then China and India and Pakistan are going to start nuking each other. | ||
| We'll come back and talk about that straight ahead. | ||
| So that's... | ||
| That's a lot. | ||
| Well, I mean, they're going to see us nuke each other, and they're like, well, we want to get in on the nuking action. | ||
| We're not just going to not nuke people if we know that nukes are flying. | ||
| We've got to get in on it while it's hot. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| We don't want to be the last person to nuke anybody. | ||
| So we've got meteor weapons and sabot rounds that are going to take out the Russian leadership but then fail, and then the U.S. is going to nuke Russian assets, and then North America. | ||
| America is gone. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| Then China and India and Pakistan are all going to nuke each other. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Bad times. | ||
| But what it's going to lead to is there's going to be fallout. | ||
| There's going to be nuclear winter. | ||
| And that's going to be tough. | ||
| And Alex laments that in this next clip. | ||
| That's nice of him to lament it. | ||
| Well, it turns not so nice. | ||
| Well, there we go. | ||
| But he does think it's going to be tough times all around. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And then all the dust will cover the entire planet from 3 to 5, 10 years. | ||
| Lower temperatures on average, 10 degrees the estimates are. | ||
| So we'll have snow. | ||
| And farm. | ||
| Eight months out of the year in places like South Dakota. | ||
| That'll cause farming yields to plunge. | ||
| Plus it'll all be radioactive. | ||
| Yeah, that would be the larger problem. | ||
| You'll have the most dangerous thing. | ||
| Billions of people that weren't killed in the nuclear war but don't know how to grow food or fix an engine or roof their house or wipe their ass. | ||
| And they will, within weeks of this happening, burn everything down and kill each other. | ||
| If you think locusts landing on a wheat field in minutes, a big cloud of locusts comes in and... | ||
| In minutes, an entire hundred acres is just totally bare. | ||
| Big army ants going through the Brazilian rainforest. | ||
| You'll see the rainforest one day. | ||
| It's all beautiful and jungle. | ||
| After the army ants go through, not a leaf's left. | ||
| Same thing. | ||
| Think of World War Z for real. | ||
| Analogies are going great today. | ||
| So a lot of people will just hang themselves. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But what about people that have children? | ||
| That's why I said the road we're on is going to lead to cannibalism. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| And I was going off the modest proposal of Mr. Swift 300 years ago. | ||
| Oh good, we're only going to eat the Irish. | ||
| Why not just tell the Irish to gut up and fatten up their babies for sale to English lords and ladies? | ||
| So I said in this path of dystopia and economic collapse and... | ||
| Societal ruin. | ||
| I mean, I'd have to size up my liberal neighbors and eat them. | ||
| And I was really honest that I will not commit suicide and I will not give up on my children. | ||
| And so myself and my conservative neighbors will have to eat our leftist neighbors. | ||
| Good call. | ||
| And I'm sad we're going to have to eat you. | ||
| You kind of asked for it, and you kind of started a fight with people that know how to do that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Totally. | |
| They know how to do that? | ||
| They know how to eat leftists. | ||
| You know, it never... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. | |
| At no point in time does it occur to him that maybe some of those leftists might be good at composting and have a greenhouse. | ||
| Nah. | ||
| Here's the problem, though. | ||
| Based on his conception of leftists, they should be bad meat, right? | ||
| I mean, like, they're either unhealthy and their bodies are just... | ||
| Eating a leftist is essentially eating vegan. | ||
| Yeah, they're full of soy. | ||
| Yeah, they're not even meat. | ||
| No! | ||
| You're going to be eating impossible humans. | ||
| You guys are the soy boys now! | ||
| Seems like you should want to eat the conservatives. | ||
| But I do think it's pretty fucking funny that, like... | ||
| Partisan politics is important in cannibalism. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| Once you're at that point, it's like, yeah, who did you vote for? | ||
| Chop, chop. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| So dumb. | ||
| The worst of our worries is going to be cannibalism after nuclear winter fucking hits. | ||
| Yeah, I do love that thing, too, though, with the nuclear winter. | ||
| It's like, all this food is radiated, and there's so little of it. | ||
| I wish there was more radiated food. | ||
| Very bizarre. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So this is dumb. | ||
| The idea that 10 degrees, like, oh, hey, okay, you know. | ||
| Alright, it'll lower the temperature of the earth by about 10 degrees. | ||
| So I will totally still be alive to eat neighbors. | ||
| Right, there is a, there are just a cascading series of problems that are going to be coming about. | ||
| You're going to be like, oh, we're going to live and I'm going to eat my neighbors and then a volcano's going to explode and you wouldn't have seen that shit coming. | ||
| That's nuclear winter for you, buddy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Your liberal neighbor is going to be saved by a volcano out of nowhere when you're right about to eat neighbors. | ||
| Eat him. | ||
| So yeah, this is annoying a little bit that he's back to his cannibalism stuff. | ||
| But this becomes most of the rest of our episode. | ||
| Cannibalism becomes most of the rest of our episode. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay, Dan. | ||
| So I know that he mentioned Jonathan Swift there. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I don't think he understands Amada's proposal. | ||
| Still doesn't. | ||
| We're on year 20. He also is trying to say that what he's doing right now is satire. | ||
| But then listen to where he goes from there, because this is not satire. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| And I'm sad we're going to have to beat you, but you kind of asked for it, and you kind of started a fight with people that know how to do that. | ||
| And you took our kindness for weakness. | ||
| And of course, this is really satire, but it goes there. | ||
| How many of you would let your five-year-old daughter or son starve to death during this collapse when the food runs out? | ||
| And a bunch of looters come through and are trying to burn your house down, and you don't have any food, but you've got bullets. | ||
| You're going to eat those people. | ||
| Don't lie about it, and don't act like you aren't. | ||
| I'm ready to eat people. | ||
| Now let's get real about this. | ||
| Let's get real. | ||
| Come on, people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm ready to eat people! | |
| This seems like a bad stand-up premise. | ||
| Never occurs to any of these people to be like, oh, okay, so maybe these people have certain skills that will be useful to me, and I have skills that will be useful to them, thereby we can actually survive together as opposed to only one of us eating the other one. | ||
| You don't have food, but you got bullets. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| Well, maybe tell them that in exchange for food, you'll protect them from the looters. | ||
| Oh, wait, hold on a second. | ||
| If you have bullets, And humans are things that you can eat. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It would seem to imply that there might be some animals you could hunt. | ||
| You know, it wouldn't... | ||
| It seems like in that scenario, other sources of meat might be available somewhere. | ||
| No, you don't understand. | ||
| That you could use those bullets on. | ||
| You don't have to use it on people. | ||
| The animal kingdom does not have the left-right paradigm, and so none of them will survive. | ||
| You don't have leftist deer? | ||
| There's no leftist deer! | ||
| There's no conservative deer, so none of them know which one to eat. | ||
| They just all die. | ||
| I was just hearing this as somebody on stage doing a stand-up bit, talking about, like, you're telling me that you're gonna not eat people? | ||
| Come on! | ||
| Now, in the apocalypse, don't you know how leftists do this? | ||
| These dumb motherfuckers out here saying they aren't gonna eat people. | ||
| Get real! | ||
| Like, there just seems like a bad stand-up premise in there somewhere. | ||
| Deaf nuclear winter jam would be fun. | ||
| It's... | ||
| So anyway, Alex seems really preoccupied with convincing the audience that cannibalism will be okay, and it may be good, actually. | ||
| All right. | ||
| My neighbors don't have to worry. | ||
| I'm not over there. | ||
| Like Jeffrey Dahmer. | ||
| I'm saying the Pentagon studies, and I agree with them, show 90% of people, 15 days in, your sons, your daughters are starving to death. | ||
| And a horde of people that weren't prepared and ready come down your street. | ||
| They've already destroyed the city. | ||
| You live 100 miles out in the country. | ||
| And here they come at night, 30 people, trying to take your house. | ||
| They're going to eat your ass. | ||
| What are you going to do? | ||
| Because that's where this goes. | ||
| Let's get dead serious about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's get dead serious about it. | |
| Looks like we're going to be making some beef jerky. | ||
| Looks like we're going to be surviving, because I will provide for my family. | ||
| We don't want to go there. | ||
| And mercifully, most of us in a nuclear war will be dead. | ||
| Oh, well, that's good news. | ||
| Can I ask you a quick question about this plan of the nuclear apocalypse? | ||
| All right, so here's our plan. | ||
| We are going to eat people for sustenance. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Right. | ||
| One problem, most people are already dead. | ||
| So our food source is limited at best. | ||
| Well, unless, I mean, like, if people just died from starvation because of nuclear winter, you could just eat the dead people. | ||
| I suppose you could eat the ones that are already dead. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But they're probably radiated. | ||
| Now, I bet the living ones are living people. | ||
| But even then, you go still further, and this is a functioning plan. | ||
| For how long before you actually have to start breeding to eat? | ||
| Well, I mean, it would be a brief window. | ||
| It would be a brief window. | ||
| This is not a successful survival plan. | ||
| Winter is not like... | ||
| It's not like the length of winter. | ||
| It will go a bit... | ||
| The consequences will go a bit longer. | ||
| And as you were saying, the 10 degree drop in temperature that Alex is describing would have just a domino effect on all kinds of other... | ||
| Problems. | ||
| You think COVID quarantine is bad? | ||
| Wait until you get to nuclear winter quarantine when you're in a fucking cave 30 goddamn miles underground at best. | ||
| Wishing you could find a person. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Oh, I want to eat that person! | ||
| Yeah, I think this is dumb. | ||
| And, I mean, obviously it's so excessive. | ||
| It goes on for a while. | ||
| And you just can tell that he's like, can someone pay attention to me, please? | ||
| I'm saying stupid shit, and I just really, really want... | ||
| Someone clip this and put it on Twitter, please. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And it kind of... | ||
| Where's media matters? | ||
| It kind of becomes really obvious. | ||
| Mercifully, most of us in a nuclear war will be dead. | ||
| We'll die when the 2,000-foot... | ||
| Air bursts, detonates at 2,000 feet, and you're just blown to bits in a fireball. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Fun. | ||
| So it kind of takes the decision away from you. | ||
| But there's a big national news story. | ||
| Alex Jones is ready to eat his neighbors again. | ||
| And all I'm doing is showing you where this goes, and I'm asking you, what would you do? | ||
| All right. | ||
| Speaking of... | ||
| If your son was at home? | ||
| We're not eating our neighbors yet. | ||
| We need funds to run this operation and stay here at our post and fight the New World Order. | ||
| We've got products that if you'll just try them, I know 99% of the listeners spread the word and pray for the show and we appreciate it, but man, you ought to buy a product. | ||
| Yeah, he's weaving it into an ad and then also making it very clear that he's imagining someone writing an article about this. | ||
| He's trying to bait people into coverage because... | ||
| He needs more eyes on his shit. | ||
| He needs some kind of publicity stunt wherever he can find it because shit's bad right now with the bankruptcy court, which is why he's doing this severe gloomy nonsense to begin with. | ||
| This is just like a guy in a bad place lashing out through content. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, some of it's kind of funny, but I don't know. | ||
| It does not strike me as particularly meaningful. | ||
| I mean, it's fun that he used the words death spiral because it does seem like he's trapped in a constantly negative reinforcement of making a shittier and shittier show. | ||
| Like, as he gets more sad... | ||
| He's less able to do the things that made him an attractive meme topic in the first place. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So then he tries even more pathetically to do it, fails, makes himself more sad. | ||
| And going back to the thing that worked the last time, not realizing really that, like, oh, you've already played this song. | ||
| It was the novelty. | ||
| It's not shocking really anymore. | ||
| You already screamed about eating your neighbors and now saying, like, no, no, but for real. | ||
| I'll eat my neighbors, and you should get ready to eat your neighbors, too. | ||
| Eh, people aren't really all that interested. | ||
| And you didn't have the punch, which is, I will barbecue your ass. | ||
| That's the punchline, you know? | ||
| Yeah, I will eat your leftist ass. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That's the way to do it. | ||
| Yeah, that was good trolling to begin with, and now this is just kind of a pathetic attempt to, like, play the hits. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And no one cares. | ||
| Everything's going to be weaker and weaker and weaker from here on out. | ||
| Diminishing returns on your cannibalism obsession. | ||
| Yeah, that one's still weird, but I don't really care. | ||
| Alex, creativity is an asset. | ||
| It's a virtue. | ||
| And one of the things that is fun about the first time he screamed about eating his neighbors was that it was out of nowhere. | ||
| It was a novelty. | ||
| It was truly out of nowhere. | ||
| There was a novelty to it. | ||
| That's what we need. | ||
| And unfortunately, I just don't think he has a lot of that in him. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then he was talking about your children. | ||
| Would you not feed your five or six-year-old if they were starving? | ||
| I don't want to think about that. | ||
| I want you to tell me that you will secretly feed your children your neighbors. | ||
| That's fun. | ||
| I don't want you to tell me that people will have to make hard choices. | ||
| I want you to tell me that you're such a fucking weirdo. | ||
| You'll feed people to your children without telling them. | ||
| That's what I want to hear. | ||
| I mean, all this screams is like... | ||
| Your life's not going great, and you shouldn't have custody of your kids. | ||
| That's all that I'm hearing here. | ||
| Yeah, I'm hearing that a lot. | ||
| So, look, I have bad news. | ||
| Mike Adams is on the show, and he has sort of free reign over the last two hours of the show, which means I'm not going to listen to most of it. | ||
| No. | ||
| But here he is, being dramatic as hell, because he's a little baby. | ||
| I mean, we're watching a suicide cult actually achieve the mass suicide of the human race right now. | ||
| And it's people like you and I and all the InfoWarriors, those watching, we're trying to stop the total suicide of the human race right now. | ||
| That's a perfect way to describe it. | ||
| It's a globalist death cult, transhumanist cult, and anybody that signs on to it either doesn't know what's happening or is under Stockholm Syndrome. | ||
| And really, if you quantify it down to its basics, it's are you pro-future or anti-future? | ||
| And what you said is very key. | ||
| This isn't just a war on homo sapiens. | ||
| When you really study the globalists, putting poison in the atmosphere, poisoning the ground, aluminum dioxide, barium salt, all this, they're at war against the planet. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I think it's aliens terraforming. | ||
| I mean, because I logically don't cover flying saucers and all that. | ||
| You can't prove it. | ||
| But if you logically war game, and I've talked to some top generals who agree. | ||
| It's like an anti-human force. | ||
| What they're doing, you come to the same conclusion, just isn't human. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| You read Childhood's End and you think it's real. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Now, one way you could look at this is that a profit motive outweighs the environmental impact of many of our corporations' choices. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Thus, meaning it's not terraforming. | ||
| It's maybe just capitalism, not aliens. | ||
| And that you cannot even imagine the idea that capitalism could be at fault for this. | ||
| So much so that you are willing to go, well, obviously that can't be it. | ||
| It's aliens. | ||
| Well, you have to exclude that as a possibility because that's anathema to his worldview. | ||
| And therefore you have to accept the... | ||
| Not logically provable scenario that it's aliens terraforming the planet, much like in this book I read when I was a kid and think is real. | ||
| Logically, the only conclusion I can come to is that it's aliens. | ||
| Well, it's childhood's end. | ||
| This is just the plot of childhood's end. | ||
| It's a very strange sentence. | ||
| Fucking idiot. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Anyway, we have one last clip here. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because there's not... | ||
| I'm not listening to hours of Mike Adams. | ||
| That's what I will say. | ||
| I have... | ||
| Certain lines in the sand. | ||
| I'll listen to a little Mike Adams. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I hate his voice. | ||
| It's so annoying. | ||
| I think he is one of the most annoying people in terms of just like his theatrics and his maudlin. | ||
| It's over for humanity. | ||
| Repeatedly, just constant. | ||
| And like, there's one point where Alex is like... | ||
| Oh my god, you've never said this is the biggest news you've ever broken. | ||
| This must be serious. | ||
| I was like, if I had time, I would go back through and find all the times he said this is the biggest news. | ||
| It's just constant over and over again, pretending yesterday doesn't exist. | ||
| It's just annoying. | ||
| But this last clip. | ||
| We need more pie-based... | ||
| Responses. | ||
| Do you mean 3.14 or pie the food? | ||
| Pie the food. | ||
| I'm not the food. | ||
| I'm talking more just a basic cream pie. | ||
| The prop. | ||
| Yeah, like the idea that Mike Adams can say that and then Alex says that is like, just pie him in the face. | ||
| Just a regular old pie. | ||
| It's a disrespect to the audience in as much as like, do you really think people don't remember the last time Mike? | ||
| That's absurd. | ||
| And it turns out maybe they don't. | ||
| I mean, fine. | ||
| But... | ||
| Pie. | ||
| So Alex recently was out of studio for a while. | ||
| He was clearing his head, getting back in the zone. | ||
| It turns out he had gone to Cancun for an extended vacation with his family. | ||
| Yeah, that sounds right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Really, really struggling. | ||
| Really suffering amongst these financial burdens that he has. | ||
| You know, he's just, you know, your everyman taking constant vacations, maybe even international ones. | ||
| Sure! | ||
| And bringing security along for these international vacations. | ||
| I'm sorry? | ||
| And sometimes these security guards overhear things. | ||
| I'm sorry? | ||
| Well, not to bring myself into this, but I'm a bellwether, like a gauge or a sensor. | ||
| I took off some time, went to Cancun a few weeks ago, had to take off to reset my brain. | ||
| Hadn't been there in like four or five years. | ||
| And I was there for five days. | ||
| And I brought a bodyguard who, when I was on the beach with my daughter and family, he just sat back under the palapas or whatever. | ||
| And there were all these liberals going, I used to hate him, but I've got to admit he's right. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| All he heard was positive stuff. | ||
| For five days, I was out on the beach, volleyball and football and building sandcastles. | ||
| I was out there building sandcastles with my kid in an attempt to make a redoubt. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| Yeah, so this is, like, fun. | ||
| Uh, made up kind of stuff that he does all the time. | ||
| Or, like, even if you imagine that this person did say this stuff to Alex, he's on your payroll. | ||
| It's your bodyguard who's like, oh, hey boss, I overheard some people talking about how they're liberals, but they realize you're really cool now. | ||
| I was about to say word for word what you just said. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is unreliable narrator's shit, but like... | ||
| But also like a Russian nesting dog. | ||
| Yeah, there's two unreliable narrators here. | ||
| Yeah, well, two possible unreliable narrators, one or the other, or maybe both. | ||
| I would say both is the most likely scenario. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| I would say both that it never happened and that the security guard was lying either way. | ||
| That is, I mean, that's really the only question here. | ||
| How many lies are here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| What's the number? | ||
| What's the top number that we can be experiencing? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Cool, man. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Never mind. | ||
| I was going to say maybe he wouldn't be in these financial straits if he didn't take all these constant vacations. | ||
| I think there's something else hanging over his head beyond budgetary. | ||
| That's why I decided not to make that declaration. | ||
| I can have budget problems. | ||
| He has a $1.5 billion settlement on his head. | ||
| Yeah, also, maybe you wouldn't have to eat your neighbors for a much longer time if you took that money that you spent on a fucking extended vacation to Cancun and put it into that survival food you sell. | ||
| Yeah, you know, here's the thing. | ||
| It makes more sense. | ||
| Look, if I knew that the world was about to end... | ||
| I am not going to stock up to try and survive it. | ||
| Fuck that noise. | ||
| I'm going to go take a bunch of vacations. | ||
| That's what I would rather... | ||
| I'm going to celebrate the time I have left. | ||
| To smoke him while he got him. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And that I respect way more than being like, okay, when the world ends, we're going to eke out another couple six months and then we'll die. | ||
| Ah, that sucks. | ||
| I don't want to do that. | ||
| Boo! | ||
| Well, Alex's primary business model is based on survival bullshit and survival food and stuff, so you can't really give him that credit. | ||
| He's just a selfish fuck who's taking this vacation. | ||
| If you are telling me that we've got a year left, why am I going to work? | ||
| True. | ||
| Why would I want to spend the last year of my and the rest of human life's work working? | ||
| Well, what if you work at the resort in Cancun? | ||
| Ooh, that's a good point. | ||
| Then someone's gotta go to work in order for you to have your vacation. | ||
| Don't tell them that the world's gonna be over in a year. | ||
| See, now that's abusive. | ||
| Maybe you love your job. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure, sure. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| No, of course. | ||
| I get enjoying the time while you have it. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| But I also think that there's something to be said for, like, hey, if small preparations can be made so you don't have to eat your neighbors. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Maybe that's good, too. | ||
| Maybe there's space for both. | ||
| We have to negotiate whether or not my biggest problem is do I have to or not eat my neighbors? | ||
| Do you want human jerky? | ||
| If I have other problems. | ||
| Trying to come up with a pun about the jerky boys. | ||
| It's not working. | ||
| I think because it's just right there. | ||
| Yeah, because it's just jerky boys. | ||
| Those boys are jerky now. | ||
| Yeah, that's about it. | ||
| Too easy of a pun. | ||
| Let me ask you a question. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Shaped like people? | ||
| Will you eat them? | ||
| Not shaped like people? | ||
| Will you eat them? | ||
| I think that you have to be a real sick fuck to be in the apocalypse and make human jerky and then shape it like a person. | ||
| He's a jerky bread man. | ||
| You are... | ||
| You gotta go. | ||
| I'm gonna eat you if you do that. | ||
|

|
Quite frankly, you're first to go. | |
| Because that kind of mentality has no place in my future society. | ||
| What, you don't want a little sense of humor to your apocalypse? | ||
| Not that kind of humor. | ||
| Okay, well that's fair. | ||
| Look, a little bit of humor is great. | ||
| Too soon. | ||
| Too soon. | ||
| If you make the human jerky in the shape of, like, animals. | ||
| Fine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Great, because that takes your mind off. | ||
| Yeah, you're like, oh, see, I'm actually eating. | ||
| Yeah, I get it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Look, I love the idea of humor in that post-apocalypse in the form of physical comedy. | ||
| Maybe someone does some pratfalls. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| A little bit. | ||
| Well, bananas are too radiated to slip upon. | ||
| Well, you understand that at dark, dark times, you know, like... | ||
| That's when comedy has to become someone falling down. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because we just need benign pain being... | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| For all my enjoyment of clever jokes, in the apocalypse, we're all just going to watch Three Stooges. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| You want wordplay? | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, I do not. | ||
| The world is in. | ||
| You want... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Slaps. | |
| Yeah, that's what I want. | ||
| I want weird noises. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So, anyway, this is what Alex is up to in the present. | ||
| Yep, yep. | ||
| And the apocalypse, I assume, he will be eating people. | ||
| Well, and he wants you to. | ||
| He's sort of like an evangelist of cannibalism. | ||
| He's trying to convince people it's a good idea to eat people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which is odd. | ||
| Somehow, like, you're not serving your children if you don't serve them people. | ||
| See, and here again, if my plan was cannibalism, I'm telling no one about that, otherwise I am just, I'm detracting from my own food source. | ||
| And again, that's a fine point. | ||
| Is that a fine point? | ||
| Hypothetically. | ||
| It's not relevant because this is just a desperate attempt on Alex's part to get people to pay attention to him. | ||
| I mean, I think it failed because I haven't seen anyone giving a shit about this. | ||
| No, you strongly tried not to give a shit about this. | ||
| I mean, look, if it's the present day stuff that he's going on about, it's so goddamn boring that if that oeuvre, I would... | ||
| Much rather listen to him talk about eating people and then discuss how this is a desperate attempt for people to pay attention to him. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| That is something that at least is like, well, here, we can make sense of this and see there's desperate PR attempts. | ||
| Or not PR, but you know what I mean. | ||
| Like marketing, trying to trick people into doing promotion for him. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| At least there's that. | ||
| As opposed to just a no man's land of... | ||
| False reality lies. | ||
| Dumb shit. | ||
| Anyway, we'll be back. | ||
| Indeed we will. | ||
| With another episode, probably in the past, because there was no conversation about eating people back then. | ||
| But until then, Jordan, we have a website. | ||
| We do indeed. | ||
| It's knowledgefight.com. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| We're also on Twitter. | ||
| We are on Twitter. | ||
| It's at knowledge underscore fight. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And we'll be back. | ||
| But until then, I'm the Dan Friesen of the host. | ||
| I don't know how to make that work. | ||
| Never mind. | ||
| I'm still just Neo. | ||
| I'm Leo. | ||
| I'm DZX Clark. | ||
| Oh, you know what? | ||
| And now here comes the sex robots. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||
| Hello, Alex. | ||
| I'm a first-time caller. | ||

I'm a huge fan. | |
