Knowledge Fight #790 dissects Alex Jones’ March 27–28, 2023 broadcasts, where he falsely tied school shootings to transgender individuals—claiming 80% of perpetrators are trans—despite no evidence, repeating debunked Uvalde lies. He pivoted to demonizing trans identity via CIA-Tavistock conspiracies, ignoring actual shooter motives while promoting fringe doctors like Dr. Stella Emanuel. The episode exposes Jones’ exploitation of tragedies for anti-trans rhetoric, revealing his hypocrisy and manipulative tactics, underscoring how right-wing media weaponizes grief against marginalized groups. [Automatically generated summary]
You know, I'm sitting around, getting ready to do this episode, prepping things up, waiting for you to arrive, and what should happen, but Trump gets indicted.
I want to know what Alex is all about because his relationship with Trump is so weird.
I mean, the ball could break in a number of directions, but I think the most predictable one is probably how it'll go, which is screaming bloody murder and the globalists are trying to kill him or something.
I'm hoping for a kaleidoscope of emotions going from he deserves it for the COVID vaccine back to the Democrats or the demons who are trying to get rid of him back to, well, he wasn't as mean to China as I wanted to.
I mean, of all the face turns in history that could ever have happened, if Alex himself is the reason that Trump goes down, history, not now, not current history, we'll still be like, hey, fuck that guy forever.
But history a hundred years from now will be like, I don't know, man!
And this is someone alerted me that one hour, 58 minutes, and 40 seconds into formulaic objections, part 10, Alex quotes Steppenwolf's born to be wild in his deposition.
But the reason I feel drawn to supporting Trump so much is a whole spectrum of reasons.
It's not true that DeSantis is the skull and bones at Yale.
That's something being put out, but it's not true.
But it is true that he has said in multiple speeches, we have the clips, that George Herbert Walker Bush is his idol and who he thinks he admires the most.
George W. Bush was the Democrat deep stater that helped get more of the New World Order in and set the foundation up for what we're living under than anybody else.
He wasn't in Skull and Bones, but the fact that you have to consider if he possibly was means that his path in life involves the elite Ivy League institutions that the right wing hates.
And that's really what's coded within that criticism.
I don't know for sure because Alex isn't specific, but I think he may be referring to, with the George H.W. Bush stuff, DeSantis' tweet from the day he died.
The day that Bush died.
He said, quote, President Bush amassed prodigious accomplishments, and he did it all with uncommon grace, class, and honor.
Appreciation of his achievements will only continue to grow as the years go by.
President Bush was an American hero, a faithful servant, and the greatest Yaley of them all.
I mean, one of the biggest obstacles to us or to anybody covering the far right...
And to anybody communicating with the far right is that they have a language that they have cobbled together out of the sounds that we use words to meet.
You know what I'm saying?
If all they did was use inflection to each other, it would be just as incomprehensible as it would be right now for people who are like, Ah, I see.
So what they must want is slightly less immigration at the border because they said the word slightly.
And it's like...
You're insane.
You're all insane.
You're all insane because you don't speak their language and you never will.
Really what takes me to the point of really supporting Trump over to Stannis is Trump's stalwart, push for peace, anti-war, and not having nuclear war, stopping and ending the Ukraine operation, which as president he can snap his fingers and do because the people that have hijacked the U.S. are the ones running the Ukraine war.
So you've got to support Trump because of that.
And then it's the fact that he has the biggest rallies full of the best people of every race, color, and creed.
Who still love this country and don't want government to be God.
Because communism is where the state tries to be God.
And so, I am supporting Trump for president, but I'm doing it not even holding my nose.
In fact, it's the opposite.
I am breathing in the foul stench of the poison shot that's already killed millions worldwide, and the fact that Trump is so pig-headed and won't admit it was wrong.
But at least said we shouldn't make people take the shots and we shouldn't give it to kids and he came out against the transgender cult Saturday.
That's good.
He says he'll destroy the deep state.
That's wonderful.
The deep state does really hate him.
He is being persecuted.
But I think that by supporting Trump, we're going to have more ability to influence him and get him to listen than not supporting him.
Trump isn't going to associate with Alex this time either, but he did that one interview like seven and a half years ago, so Alex can still ride high on that and pretend that they're best friends.
Alex can optically associate with Trump much easier than with DeSantis, and that gives him the appearance of proximity to power and thus power of his own within his own sphere and with his audience.
And now we're all seeing what that prophecy means while the other god king is still alive, which is that what they really wanted was a guy, an asshole, to be mean to people.
And DeSantis is functionally mean to people, but terrible at being publicly mean to people.
Alex is the only person who doesn't make sense here, because Alex is trying to talk away the idea that Trump is responsible for the murder of millions upon millions of people by saying, well, you know, he's mean to trans people still.
You know, like, that's his argument, and they're all like, no, you can't murder millions of people, which is what you told us he did.
He's got to expose that to save lives and stop the next stage pandemic.
But that said, if you're against Trump, okay, who are we for and then what is your path?
And I'm saying that legitimately, that I respect you and I understand your concerns and I have real concerns and I don't like the fact that Trump has done the wrong thing on the poison injections.
But on all these other issues, he's doing a great job.
Like, for someone with the, like, initial branding that he had of who he was as a figure, to be concerned about, like, oh, yeah, Trump is not perfect, but consider the alternative.
Yeah, I mean, at most, I would say that the judgments and the like, if I were going to be generous, I think maybe he's second-guessed himself slightly more.
But I don't know if that's a maybe, you know?
Like, I don't know if that is even an effect other than just...
Age?
Too many drugs?
Burnout?
I don't know what else to say.
There are any number of reasons that he's second-guessing himself now.
Because I think in some ways, if he were to lie about being lied to, he'd be able to placate the anti-vex weirdos, but still hold on to some ego of like, look what I got accomplished.
I'm going to come back, take calls on Trump in 2024, on what's happening in the world, and do you support Trump or DeSantis, or what do you support, what's your plan to take the country back?
That's the next segment, but let me tell you what else is coming up.
Minnesota lawmakers advance transgender reps legislation that could strip custody from parents who don't support child being sterilized.
Arizona Family Dollar employee charged with murder after allegedly gunning down...
What?
Refugee bill.
unidentified
Opponents say would strip custody from non-consenting parents.
So it should be pointed out that this is what Alex has prepared to cover, and he has no idea that a mass shooting has even happened.
His stated plan on this episode was to lie about misrepresented headlines in order to incite hatred towards trans people, because that's what his show and much of the right-wing media is currently.
A lot of it is indistinguishable from media designed to promote hate.
This is another case where you have to translate what Alex is saying.
He keeps saying that these people are being sterilized which is not the case.
There may be some decreased virility that accompanies hormone therapy but there are studies that have shown that a lot of that reverses if a person ceases taking the hormone.
This isn't about sterilization, but again, the truth or falsity of what Alex is saying is not really important to what he actually means.
He's just saying that he hates trans people.
Him calling gender-affirming care sterilization is little more than him virtue-signaling to his transphobia and more general bigotry so the audience knows that he's on their side of this.
I've got public schools around the country where they're forcing elementary students, middle students, and high school students into transgender bathrooms.
Everyone is in the same bathroom at the same time.
They're telling children it's a hate crime if they don't strip down in front of the opposite sex.
So Alex read that headline, which is about Idaho banning trans people from going to bathrooms that correspond with their gender.
Incidentally, this bill was written by the Idaho Family Policy Center, a right-wing Christian group who's seeking to turn the U.S. into a theocracy.
They want to impose biblical standards into government, and that's really cool, according to their president, Blair Konzati, who said, God's law grants more freedom and enables more human flourishing than any other moral philosophy known to man.
He left off the part where that freedom and Human flourishing doesn't count if you're flourishing in a way that he thinks is sinful.
So, fuck off.
You know, whatever.
So, back to the point, though.
Alex reads that headline and then gets lost in the weeds, rambling about elementary schools where people have to strip down with folks of all genders in the same bathroom, or else it's a hate crime.
You may notice something really glaring there.
The headline and the actual article about the anti-trans legislation is really easy to find and be specific about, where his stories about these horrors of liberalism run amok are vague.
unsourced and seem like maybe he's making them up.
Yeah, next thing you know, Joe Rogan's talking about how people have to put their cats in litter boxes in schools and everyone has to accept that people are cats.
I'd also recommend that we support our constitutional-minded sheriffs across this country and pray that they would form posses and join together in arresting the criminal usurpers of our country.
My issue is then what do we do if the alternative, I'm not a lesser to evil guys, but if the alternative is a thousand percent worse, what do we do?
unidentified
RFK Jr., man, I think if Rand Paul's with him, I think that then when we get hit again, at least they'll have somebody who can guide the country through the next pandemic.
But see, that's the point why I'm tentatively supporting him, is because they hate him and they fear him, and even though he's got problems, he's the real deal.
That's what reality TV shows should really be for, is taking people who could otherwise hurt the whole of humanity and making them dance for our amusement.
Yeah, I was watching some of the Taskmaster, and I was thinking about how that is really what makes the show charming, is essentially trying in a fun way to make people lose their minds.
And that is...
A benign version of it.
I think there's a lot of malicious versions of it in reality TV.
Yesterday, as the mass shooting unfolded in Tennessee at a school where darling little children and others were killed, I did not comment on the broadcast other than saying that the shooting had happened because I wanted to give it time to see what unfolded.
Scott, the producer, walked in right when it happened.
He said, how much money do you want to bet?
This is a transgender person.
And that's because now, about 80% of the time, these school shooters are transgender and the media tries to cover it up.
That's categorically false, no matter how you splice or try to massage the numbers.
What has happened here is that Alex has seen a meme that was floating around in right-wing social media circles that sought to paint the picture that most shooters are LGBTQ, but right out of the gate, they include the Club Q shooter as someone who's non-binary, when all evidence points to the conclusion that that was him trolling?
Alex is seeking to paint the picture that the media covers up these school shooters, that these school shooters are trans because if you try to look into it, you'll find that they aren't.
And he needs an explanation for that lack of evidence for his claim.
His position would be totally vindicated if it weren't for an elaborate media cover-up that's going on.
This naturally raises the question of why the media isn't covering up anything about this current shooter and their reported potential gender identity.
It seems like maybe the media doesn't actually cover that stuff up, but Alex needs the audience to think that they do so it's easier for his hate-mongering and exaggeration to fly and be accepted.
The truth or falsity of this statement that LGBTQ people are responsible for the majority of mass shootings or school shootings is a meaningless question to people like Alex.
It doesn't need to be true because the truth or falsity is not what they're conveying to the audience.
Alex is trying to make sure the audience sees LGBTQ folk and trans people in particular as the enemy and a very dangerous enemy.
A very dangerous enemy that the media is covering for.
It's a waste of time to argue the underlying points that someone like Alex or Matt Walsh or Ben Shapiro have been making in the aftermath of this shooting because the underlying points are meaningless to them to begin with.
They're happy to use this tragedy to attack trans people, but lambast people for discussing gun control after any other shooting because they detest the tasteless politicization of tragedy.
They don't detest the politicization, they just know when politicization can be useful to them and they're savvy enough to pretend to be above it when they know they can't use that tragedy.
As much as I do believe that pretending that their underlying points mean anything is a trap, it's still incredibly important to recognize what is going on and to push back on it as strongly as possible.
The anti-trans rhetoric is escalating in ways that It's a strange balancing act because this shooting is being used as an excuse for these right-wing commentators to ramp up their bigotry, but they don't actually care about the shooting.
As we saw earlier in this episode, Alex was doing sensational bullshit anti-trans stories already, and Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles have been calling for an elimination of trans identity for weeks, if not months, prior to this shooting.
They're just using this as a prop.
They hate trans people.
That's the only point...
worth paying attention to, not whatever window dressing they're throwing on their hate today.
They don't care about that window dressing and will abandon it for something new tomorrow if it better serves their purposes.
So this kind of stuff, like this, 80% of shooters are trans people.
It's not worth arguing with.
It's not true, but it also doesn't matter to Alex.
It's not what he's getting across to the audience.
And that can be challenging.
That can be a difficult place to be in, especially in these very aggressive spaces like the social media, you know, where people are firing this stuff off.
And a lot of times are doing it in such a way as to incite backlash upon them because it games the system and gets them far more engagement with their posts.
I don't know if that's true for everyone, but it might be.
I don't know.
I think that you're not going to achieve anything by arguing these particular points with these folks, for sure.
And I also think that, generally speaking, just saying, like, you are hiding this hate behind these arguments you don't really care about, I don't think that's going to lead anywhere either.
She's a disaster of a public figure who has all of the same terrible politics and bigotries that Alex and his ilk do, but she's also trans.
She can be used as a prop to prove they don't hate trans people.
Folks like Alex need that pretty desperately.
You can tell that Alex likes Blair White because he thinks she's feminine enough for him to see her as a woman, and her transness doesn't encroach on any of the larger, hollow culture war topics he pretends to care so much about, like women's sports.
In fact, a majority of Blair's public existence is based on trying to place limits on other people's transness and make videos about people who she thinks are going too far or whatever.
Her brand is essentially, I'm one of the good ones.
I feel like I've lied about certain parts of my life online.
I know I've lied about certain parts of my life online.
My family.
In interviews and in answers during live streams and, like, anytime it's brought up.
I like to paint this picture, which is a lie, like, flat out just fabricated, of that my family is accepting of me and that everything's good and everything's peachy clean and my transition was easy and, like, I don't know why I've lied about that.
So, blatantly, I think it's because it was, like, It's hard to listen to this, because on the one hand, I empathize with Blair's experience, because it obviously wasn't easy for her, as it is for folks, everyone.
I'm certain that that's true.
But, on the other hand, it's incredibly difficult to hold onto too much care about her when you consider the reality of what she's saying.
She didn't lie about her transition being easy because it's somehow emotionally more easy for her to do that.
She did it because if she admitted to the challenges she's faced, it would severely undercut her entire brand.
The people she hates on and who are her political targets are the people who are working to create a better world, where people like young Blair wouldn't have to have had such a hard time being herself.
Acknowledging that you really could have used more care and more support in your younger days means that trans activists have a point, and that that's not a point that you can really rebut unless you pretend that they don't have a point, which you can achieve by pretending that your lived experience doesn't match up at all with what those activist types are saying.
It's profitable for Blair to lie about her transition.
That's why she did it.
Later in the video, she talks about how her dad's side of the family disowned her because she's trans, and that really sucks.
Family alienation is a real nightmare, and no one deserves to experience it.
that just for being themselves.
Given that she's experienced all this in her life, I don't believe for a second that she doesn't realize that Alex Jones's career in rhetoric is designed around creating more people like her dad's family.
I don't believe for a second that she doesn't realize that the brand she's created is trying to position herself as the one good trans person, which facilitates the stigmatization of all trans people who aren't her.
On some level, she understands this.
This next clip from that video really spoke to me about that awareness.
Television, I've always, like, tried to contact my family just to be like, hey, like, you know, turn on this channel at this time.
Just because I thought maybe if they see that I'm successful and I'm not some, like, horrible transgender stereotype of a prostitute or, like, just a desolate, like, person that maybe they would come around and say maybe, you know, Blair's not that bad.
Blair wanted her family to see that she was one of the good ones.
They hate her for who she is, but maybe if they saw that she was also demonizing trans people, they would accept her then.
She's essentially discussing chasing the acceptance and approval of people who hate a fundamental aspect of who she is, which she's never going to achieve with her family, but she can achieve with Alex and all these other right-wing figures.
There's a profit motive there, and they need somebody they can use as a prop to deflect criticism about their transphobia, so she'll be adored in that circle, which she is.
But it comes with a cost, and apparently, even though it hurts quite a bit, Blair thinks that arrangement is worth it.
So no, I don't particularly care if Alex likes Blair White, because he doesn't, actually.
Or at least he wouldn't if she was honest about her experience, because then she'd say that her dad's family disowned her for being trans, and Alex would have to admit that he thinks that they did the right thing.
Anyway, sorry about that little side trip.
Back to Alex's actual clip, there have been female mass shooters before.
It's certainly more rare than male ones, but they do exist.
Nassim Agdam carried out the shooting at the U-T-S, Uh, yeah, I mean, to your point...
If he believed the things he's saying sincerely, he would not support and platform someone like Blair White.
If Alex truly believed that transgenderism is a plot by the Tavistock Institute to bring in transhumanism and destroy the family, then the people who are trans are people who have been fooled by the Tavistock Institute.
Well, I mean, not just that, but you can never trust anyone who is brainwashed by the...
In reality, if this were 15, 20 years ago, the Tavistock Institute's evil plan to destroy the family would be getting people to accept gay folks because this stuff doesn't really mean anything.
This is just adding an intellectual-sounding rationale behind the present day's bigotry.
Which is, again, another reason why these conversations are so repetitive and pointless is just...
Yes, I understand the nonsense you're saying, but you don't understand that I heard this nonsense five years ago, and then I heard it ten years ago, and then I heard it fifteen years ago.
So this, like I said, is about the first primary source Alex is citing in terms of his coverage of the shooting, and it's that meme that went around, which is super inaccurate.
The Colorado Springs shooter was the Club Q shooter, and the Uvalde shooter wasn't even in the meme, but Alex vaguely remembers his own shitty reporting, so he throws them in.
This isn't a sincere point that's being made, and honestly, it comes off more like parody.
These are the examples that these folks can find, whereas the thousands of other mass shootings apparently didn't happen or something.
Further, whenever there are these shootings, Alex insists on not ascribing group blame.
He screams about how all white people are to blame for shooting because the shooter was a white supremacist, or how all gun owners are being blamed because the person had a ton of guns with them.
It's easy to see how that is kind of a meaningless principle for him, and he's more than willing to throw it to the side when there's the opportunity to imply group blame on groups he doesn't like.
When that pops up, that opportunity, he takes it.
He doesn't want to feel like groups he's a part of are being discussed in relation to mass shootings.
But if it's a group he spends most of his time demonizing, group blame is pretty cool.
I don't know about the pregnancy hormone divorce thing.
I have no idea how I would go about checking up on it since apparently it's something some doctor personally told Alex.
But it's weird that the example Alex comes up with isn't a guy on steroids.
Or maybe that hits too close to home.
I don't know.
Maybe he doesn't want to bring any attention to that.
Malicious actors, folks like Alex, folks like Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro, these folks in particular who have been more than willing to talk about it in a way to use this event in order to steer hate in a certain direction.
That is worth talking about.
I would contend that that is.
I get what you're saying in terms of the futility of talking about, like, gun violence and stuff.
And that is a bummer.
That is very disappointing that we keep doing this and we keep coming to an end where progress isn't made.
We end up in the same situation and there will be another shooting in a week or whatever.
That sucks.
That is...
There is a feeling of futility surrounding that conversation and I understand where you're coming from.
However...
I think there does need to be a big deal made out of resisting and pushing back against the narrative building that people like Alex and his ilk are engaging in surrounding the shooting.
But I would say the reason that this shooting is notable...
And should be treated as such is the conversation that's surrounding it and the way that it is being used as an excuse to ramp up transphobia and a hostile environment towards a particular group.
And as they hype the mass shootings, they will increase and they will get worse because mentally ill people are now taught, you don't just become transgender, you go out and you shoot and you kill people.
And now the majority of mass shooters...
That are technically the totally senseless type, because the FBI averages in gang shootings that are at schools, and then says, well, half of them are black on black, or black on Hispanic, or Hispanic on Hispanic.
But if you take those out that are gang shootings, and you just have raw going to school, shoot a bunch of kids, this is it.
And they fight to hide that.
But these are the incredibly unhappy, depressed, demonically brainwashed, I mean, I don't know what term we should really use to break it down, but we have a lower animal brain.
And I feel like one simple thing that we could have for all of these articles that we read pretty fucking constantly...
Is a note, is a resource, is something at the end of this article to say, if you are one of these people who is concerned about your own actions, who is thinking about doing these things, call this hotline and we can talk to you about that.
It's anonymous, obviously, and there's no cops, which is the first thing that I would say.
Let's go ahead and roll the footage again of them taking this young, disturbed, taken over person out and understand it is good people with guns that stopped this monster before she was able to kill even more people.
And notice we are misgendering her because we misgender on purpose.
No, the real gender is she's a woman hopped up on a bunch of hormones and drugs who fell to the dark side.
So wild to hear that cops are now good guys with guns.
The whole good guys with guns narrative is that you needed to have a gun on you so you could act fast before the police were able to arrive because there was a delay.
To the matter of him misgendering on purpose, that speaks volumes about his position on trans people.
He believes they do not exist.
In his mind, he's willing to put up with what he considers Blair White's dumb, inaccurate self-perception because she's useful to him and because she has the right kind of hateful politics, but he definitely does not think that she's a woman.
He's willing to extend her the courtesy of not misgendering her because it's advantageous to him.
But when the rubber meets the road, if she were to insist to Alex that she's a woman and that it's not play-acting for her, Alex would not agree with that.
If he were her dad's side of the family and she insisted on him accepting that aspect of her identity, he would disown her in a second and then maliciously misgender her whenever she came up.
That's who Alex is.
He's not misgendering the shooter because they're a shooter.
That doesn't factor into the assessment of whether or not their gender identity was valid.
with with Blair you know that job opportunity is always open you don't have to take that job because that job entails being paid well and yet always living Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Then you're not going to be welcomed back into the trans community.
Maybe some people will forgive.
They probably will, but that's because they're better people.
I honestly think Alex is really confused on this one.
He's evoking good guy with a gun talking points and saying that the Second Amendment came to the rescue, but none of that's involved here at all.
I suspect it's because he needs to skirt around some of his more general shooting narratives, like it being a false flag or how they need to arm the teachers.
Those are good when he needs to distract from the details about the shooter because they're super right-wing white guys who have identical politics to Alex.
In this case, the identity of the shooter is central to the right-wing media's approach, so Alex has to dispel with some of his normal distraction-based talking points.
And it's kind of weird to listen to, honestly.
He seems in a strange place.
There's a lot of hate, obviously, which is he understands what he's doing there.
But yeah, the talking about the shooting is convoluted.
I got no respect for him as even a person to listen to.
I really, really resent people who insist on kind of having it both ways of the, like, never know whether I'm joking or if this position is something I should be taken seriously for.
I really, really, really don't like that kind of bullshit.
He dances in those waters a lot.
And then also he has essentially a career that revolves almost entirely around trying to bait outrage from people in order to get attention.
They had the transgender movement that spread worldwide from there.
Got picked up later in the 60s by British intelligence.
And it is the hallmark of a society before it collapses.
And the system knows this, so they've accelerated it.
In the 60s and 70s, they did the famous rat studies where they would have contained cities of rats and give them all the food and all the water they wanted.
Within three generations, the males become trans and the females become the bosses.
And then within another generation, they all just start eating each other or committing suicide.
And then within about eight generations, there are no rats left.
One of the first targets of the Nazis was the Institute for Sexual Science and its head Magnus Hirschfeld.
Hirschfeld was a pioneer in research around issues related to sex and gender, which were seen as societal perversions and attacked by the Nazis and their rise to power.
On May 6th, 1933, the Institute was ransacked by Nazi youth along with SA officers.
Much of the materials that were looted from that were burned in a giant book burning shortly after.
If Alex believes that trans identity being accepted is a sign of society and collapse, then he has to think that the Nazis were trying to stop that collapse.
Alex is also just making shit up about these rat studies.
So he's talking about John B. Calhoun's experiments, which gave rise to the concept of behavioral sync.
This isn't about the decadence or generational decay.
The thing that was discovered by these experiments was that if rats are in an enclosed space and allowed to reproduce freely, their behavioral patterns will change in strange ways.
Calhoun found that in this artificial setting, the rats tended to impose their own areas of high population density.
They could spread out to tons of other areas, but they ended up congregating heavily in the pen that was...
Interesting.
He found, quote, In the case of eating, this transformation did not keep the animals from securing adequate nutrition, but the same pathological togetherness that tended to disrupt the ordered sequences of activity involved in other vital modes of behavior, such as courting of sex partners, the building of nests, and the nursing and care of the young.
In the experiments in which the behavioral sink developed, infant mortality ran as high as 96% among the most disordered groups in the population.
A large part of this has to do with the effect of overcrowding on disruption of rat behavior, which was somewhat mitigated in other parts of the pens, where the population density didn't get as high.
In these pens, infant mortality was much lower.
Generally, they'd have less rats in there.
They wouldn't end up congregating into this one pen.
And they would have a male rat who would establish dominance over a harem of female rats who would then have the time and space to protect their young during weaning.
There were dominant males, and then underneath them, in this societal weirdness, there were some males that were unable to distinguish sexual partners.
They would try to mate with male rats, juveniles, and females that were not in estrus.
I'm not sure if this is the dynamic that Alex is depicting.
I'm sure Alex isn't depicting it accurately, but that's kind of what he's hearkening to.
They also found that some non-dominant rats began to become basically sleepwalkers, only going to eat when everyone else was asleep.
They were completely passive, never engaging in fights for dominance, nor even trying to...
I mean, the problem that I have with this research is that it boils down to me to stuff acts weird when you put it in a cage, which I feel like I already knew.
I mean, the specifics on how things act weird when you put it in a cage.
So in a second experimental setup, they found that this behavioral sink didn't develop when they offered the rats powdered food instead of the food that they had to be getting out of the hopper.
The powder was easier to eat quickly, so the act of eating didn't become a strange social thing, and overcrowding in that collective eating pen didn't end up happening.
They kind of theorized that some of it had to do with it taking longer to eat from these hoppers.
So even if these theories and these things that you learn from these experiments could be used that way, they reflect the effect of too high a population density on rat behavior, not whatever Alex is going on about.
Also, Alex is pretty much just making up everything about this experiment's results just based on a vague memory he has of reading some headline about it years ago.
The male rats didn't become trans, the females didn't become the boss, the rats weren't all cannibalistic and suicidal, and they weren't all dead after the eighth generation.
This is the kind of information you're gonna get from Alex Jones.
Shit he's making up about experiments he doesn't understand or remember being deployed in order to demonize vulnerable populations while very cryptically supporting the Nazis.
This is not information that is worth being taken seriously.
Yeah, I mean, in terms of an argument, if you distill it down, it sums up something along the lines of, it's okay for me to kill trans people because rat society devolved.
The obvious cause and effect of this is going to be another disturbed but angry, pissed-off person is going to go to a drag queen storytime or one of these trans rallies they have everywhere and is going to shoot a bunch of these people.
That is the last thing that needs to happen.
And we need to up front say we do not want that.
People are going to want to avenge these dead kids and other Christians.
Christians are being targeted.
But there's a time to turn the other cheek.
And the trans cult minions and gremlins of the system should not be harmed.
They should be arrested if they hurt children or get caught doing pedophilia or any of that.
We should pass laws they can't target children.
But we do not need anybody...
To go attack one of these events or attack any transgender person.
And let me go further.
I'm not calling for violence.
But if you want to know who does all this and who created all this, the history of it's on record.
So, I want to target those groups by exposing them and call for legal action against them.
What you need to understand is, again, the language, the translation of this.
Alex recognizes that almost certainly, based on the rhetoric that's flying around, based on the way that people are exploiting this to ramp up transphobia, somebody is going to do something violent.
And Alex knows that, and he's trying to get ahead of it.
And if you want to know who the enemy is, it's those engineers, the cultural engineers, on the top that are doing all this.
And they're the ones that are the enemy.
Not when you go to one of these pathetic events and there is a bunch of zombie-looking crazy people that look like they have been put in a mutation chamber.
Howling and screaming and running around foaming at the mouth.
I mean, those are people that we lost to the enemy.
So Alex has a clip of Tucker supposedly predicting that transviolence was coming.
It's so strange how he sees Tucker saying that, and then, you know, the supposedly trans person comes.
Here's the difficulty.
I felt like all the news was covering this, the shooter was trans, and then just before we started recording, I saw an NBC News article that is a bit of, like, there's a little bit of uncertainty about exactly what the identity of the shooter was.
Well, I think what we are doing, though, is exactly what we discussed earlier, and that is talking about this in the context of the damage it's being used to do.
As opposed to wallowing in the identity or misidentity of a shooter.
Literally every single time I've seen Alex have someone say something was going to happen, and then it supposedly happens, it's proof that the person who made the prediction is responsible for the event happening.
The prediction was predictive programming.
Like how it was a smoking gun that Fauci said that Trump would face a novel disease in his administration.
That was proof that Fauci unleashed COVID.
Alex interprets things that other media figures and officials say however works best for him.
So much of his show and the ideas behind it really do just come down to his whims.
And I think it's profoundly sad that there are people out there who think that an idiot's whim is a good barometer for truth.
So here's Alex introducing the clip of Tucker.
We're not going to listen to Tucker's actual clip, but here's him introducing it.
So Audrey Hale thought that she, who thought she was a man, was being targeted, and there's a manifesto they're trying to keep from us, but we're told, and we can see on posts she made, that she was mad at transphobics, the way you...
Get back at those as you shoot some eight, nine-year-old children to death with a rifle.
So this is definitely a new thing.
They have women who think they're men out doing what the media advertises, mass shootings.
And we know the copycat effect, that when somebody jumps off the Brooklyn Bridge, they go to post cops there for about a week, because a bunch of others will start doing it.
And it causes like a stampede of lemmings.
So now it's kind of out there in the mind of these jokes on all these psychotropic drugs and hormones that...
Well, the way you protest is you just go to a Christian school, you know, in a state that's passing a law that you can't mutilate children surgically, and you mutilate kids with high-powered rifle rounds.
So, we heard earlier in this episode an instance of Alex really being concerned about an article about himself that Dan Friesen, the Alex Jones watcher, had no idea about.
Jane Fonda was on The View a little bit back, and she was asked what alternatives there are to protesting after the repeal of Roe v. Wade, and she joked, Well, I've thought of murder.
For some reason, Newsweek ran an article about how idiots on Twitter were saying that if Alex had to pay a billion dollars for his Sandy Hook coverage, then Fonda should have to pay five billion for making that joke.
It's really strange that this passed an editor's desk because it's honestly incoherent.
Some people on Twitter were saying that Fonda's comments were, quote, which I'm not sure makes sense, nor does it justify an article.
Is the argument now that the shooter in Nashville was motivated by the restriction of access to reproductive care?
I'm confused about how this shooting seems to be about a million different things, depending on which culture war a particular Twitter user is concerned about.
Like, it's very weird.
I can't keep track of all this.
Fonda never said anything about Christians.
Alex is making that up.
And the article even says, quote, Jones did not incite violence with his comments.
The point is that Alex is absolutely covering this just because it's about him.
Well, I mean, obviously, again, he's telling on himself by saying she said murder Christians, because what he's saying is the people who are against abortion are Christians, and if you are not against abortion, you are not a Christian.
But there may be other things like it that, like, obviously gun control is this dead end where you're never going to make progress on it, though maybe don't stop trying.
Yeah, and even the ones that are top-down are probably going to be caused by the bottom, either demanding or some sort of pressure coming from the bottom-up.
