alex jones
I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys saying we are the bad guys.
Knowledge fight.
unidentified
Dan and Jordan.
knowledge fight need money Andy in Kansas Andy in Kansas Andy in Kansas Andy in Kansas you're on the air thanks for holding I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody!
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple dudes like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Oh, indeed we are.
Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
I have a quick question for you.
dan friesen
What's up?
jordan holmes
What's your bright spot today?
dan friesen
My bright spot today, Jordan, is, as long-time listeners of the show will know, last year we had the dreamy, creamy summer, and we did not do it this year because it's too much.
I went through a lot of ice creams.
I couldn't think of another thing that would be creamy that I would want to eat a bunch of.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
But I am thinking about the chilly, willy winter.
I'm thinking about the possibility of...
I should have waited until you weren't taking a sip.
That was really dangerous.
You almost did a spit take.
jordan holmes
I got it.
I drank it.
I swallowed!
dan friesen
Well done.
Yeah, I'm thinking about that as, like, more ice creams or maybe, like, popsicles.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure.
dan friesen
But, I mean, what variation is there in popsicles?
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, they're just, like, in a different colors.
dan friesen
Iced coffees.
unidentified
Oof.
jordan holmes
Iced coffee?
Actually, I would go with an iced coffee popsicle.
dan friesen
No, I meant various iced coffees as the theme for the chilly willy winter.
jordan holmes
Oh, now popsicles is the way to go.
dan friesen
I don't think it is.
jordan holmes
Got to get different shapes of popsicle?
dan friesen
That's not going to make that much difference.
jordan holmes
It's not.
No, you're right.
dan friesen
I think I might have to go back to ice cream.
jordan holmes
What about a dreamsicle?
Does that count as a popsicle or ice cream?
dan friesen
I mean, this is the hot dog sandwich.
unidentified
This is Boston cream pie as a cake.
jordan holmes
We're all going to hell for this.
dan friesen
Cheesecakes a pie.
What are we doing?
What are we doing?
I'll find something, maybe, if I want to do the Chili Willie Winter.
But we'll see.
I just came up with a name and I got excited about it.
jordan holmes
You gotta warn me if you're gonna do that.
dan friesen
It came to me in a dream.
But the reason that I brought this up as a bright spot is I just was hanging around, minding my own business, and what do I see on my boop-boop?
Got a notification.
Cool House, the winners of the Dreamy Creamy Summer, followed us on Twitter.
Weird.
I didn't write their name anywhere.
So someone from the company has to have listened to the show or somebody told them that they won the Dreamy Creamy Summer?
jordan holmes
You know, I mean, you didn't know this, but I have been in talks with all of the ice cream manufacturers over the last year or so about the Dreamy Creamy Summer, and they were all very highly anticipating who would win.
So yeah, obviously they all know about us.
dan friesen
After a year delay, they follow us.
But yeah, I thought that was cool.
I really like their ice cream.
I think they seem like a pretty cool company.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And so I got a charge out of that.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's cool.
dan friesen
What's your bright spot?
jordan holmes
My bright spot, Dan, is Final Fantasy XVI.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Oh my god.
dan friesen
Talked a bit about that before we started recording.
You're enjoying it.
jordan holmes
I am loving it.
Here's what I think is fun about it, all right?
It is in the same way that Final Fantasy Tactics is.
It's like, it's not a Final Fantasy game.
But...
In the same way that Final Fantasy Tactics is, it's one of the best Final Fantasy games.
dan friesen
Interesting.
jordan holmes
It's really, really good.
It doesn't have all of the Final Fantasy stuff that you're used to.
There's no turn battles.
The equipment is almost superfluous.
All that you're there to do is run around, watch a brilliant TV show, and then punch stuff.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
And it's great.
dan friesen
I mean, those are elements of games that people enjoy.
Running around, punching stuff, watching things.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
It's great.
I mean, it is like the Final Fantasy thing that is there is that the story of a good Final Fantasy game stays with you.
You know, like you carry around, when Aerith...
Spoiler alert.
dan friesen
Oh, no.
jordan holmes
But it's something, like, there's stuff that you carry with you from the story.
As much as you like the gameplay and all of that stuff, that's why you spend hours in there.
dan friesen
Yeah, it does seem to me having, like, minimal involvement or association with the Final Fantasy world.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
It does seem like people who like it like it for those, like, character and story-driven reasons.
Not to say that the gameplay isn't great or something that they enjoy, but it seems like there's far more of a connection there.
Yeah.
I'm glad that you're enjoying it.
I'm not going to play it.
jordan holmes
I mean, that's totally fine.
It's not a problem.
dan friesen
Nothing against you.
I enjoyed 7 enough.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
The remake.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
But apparently not enough to jump into 16. That's fine.
jordan holmes
That's fine.
I think what's crazy about it is that this one I would recommend over, like, Final Fantasy XV or XIII or those ones, I would never recommend those to you.
This one I might, but here's what you're doing.
You're committing to watching six seasons of a TV show in four days.
dan friesen
I mean, look, on some level, I have no problem with that.
We know that I made it all the way through Survivor.
Well, I mean, the buttons helped, but that wasn't...
A short period of time I watched it over, but it also wasn't long.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
It was shorter than it should have been.
jordan holmes
You tore through it.
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, I mean, I have no problem with binging something.
unidentified
Sure, sure.
dan friesen
But I'm not going to play this game.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
dan friesen
I might.
jordan holmes
It's not a conversation we need to have.
dan friesen
I feel like you want me to play it.
jordan holmes
I don't want you to play it.
I mean, it would be fun to talk to you about it.
That'd be cool.
dan friesen
I'm sure you can find some wonks out there who are loving the hell out of it.
jordan holmes
That's fine.
dan friesen
I mentioned this to you before we started recording.
The way you describe it makes me think of Uncharted.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And there's a lot of story and it's not a ton of you doing things.
Right.
Necessarily.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I just don't like that that much.
I respect it.
unidentified
Totally get it.
dan friesen
It's not like...
It's not my bag.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, we talked about it, and it's a little bit like if you were watching Game of Thrones, and then the show paused and was like, okay, now this is the Battle of Heron.
You gotta use your right stick and your left stick and X and square and all that stuff.
And then when you're done, it's like, cool, now we're going to episode 16 of Game of Thrones, you know?
dan friesen
At the Battle of Heron.
jordan holmes
Exactly, yeah.
dan friesen
So, Jordan, today we're back.
In the present.
We've got an episode to do.
So thank you, first of all, for doing that interview with John Ronson.
That was a lot of fun.
I think people enjoyed that.
It seemed like you and Ronson enjoyed it quite a bit.
jordan holmes
It was good to talk.
It was good to talk.
dan friesen
You really gave him what for?
jordan holmes
I think the consensus is I overprepared.
But what's fun about that is that people don't know how my brain works.
I've forgotten everything that I learned.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, overpreparing is something that is relative, kind of.
When you're preparing for something, oftentimes...
You know, if you get interested in something and you find certain elements of things that you really connect to, it's hard not to over-prepare.
So I don't know.
I don't think that's as much of a judgment.
It means you were interested in the subject matter.
jordan holmes
I think in our world, I don't think either of us can look at the other and say over-prepare as a...
dan friesen
Well, today I under-prepared.
unidentified
Oh!
dan friesen
Well, ish.
I have no notes about anything that we're talking about.
jordan holmes
This is a miracle.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
It's just, this is what it is.
jordan holmes
This is just what it is?
dan friesen
We're going to be talking about June 19th, 2023.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Which is last week, I believe, was that Monday?
Yeah, that was Monday.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
And it's because we got some fun guests.
Alex seems to be trying to reconnect with some folks.
He had Gavin McGinnis on a couple days prior, I believe.
On Friday of the week before.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
Some of these people from out of the woodwork are popping around.
jordan holmes
It's very strange.
Getting the band back together for one last job because he's running out of money and they need to rob the final bankruptcy court to get away for good.
dan friesen
I don't know if it's that or if it is like, I don't know, guys, y 'all have any juice?
Anybody?
jordan holmes
There's a bunch of washed up people looking around at each other like, I don't know, can I steal some of you?
dan friesen
Yeah.
Maybe you have some fans or something.
Maybe people have forgotten that you're a total asshole.
Yeah.
And so, you know, maybe trying to see what you can squeeze out of, see if you can squeeze any blood out of the rock.
jordan holmes
They're all standing outside on the far right corner looking at each other asking if you got a fan.
You got a fan?
dan friesen
Can you spare a dime?
jordan holmes
Can you spare a dime?
dan friesen
So, we'll get down to business on this here episode, but first, Jordan, let's say hello to some new wonks.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's a great idea.
dan friesen
So first, I had a dream that Dan and Jordan came to Glasgow, and they were kind of pretentious arseholes, so I think they should come here to prove me specifically wrong.
Thank you so much.
You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much!
dan friesen
Thank you.
One day, perhaps.
Next, are the globalists in the room with us right now?
Thank you so much.
You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much!
dan friesen
Thank you.
Next, I can't wait to marry you on June 24th.
Skip.
Love, Skip.
The boys send love, too.
Thank you so much.
You're now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much!
dan friesen
That sounds to me like Skip is marrying someone named Skip.
jordan holmes
I think that I'm glad they found each other.
dan friesen
Yeah.
What are the odds?
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, it's hard to believe.
dan friesen
Next, Andy, a bureaucrat in D.C. Thank you so much.
You're now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
unidentified
Thank you very much!
dan friesen
Holy shit, what are the odds of a bureaucrat in D.C.?
Much like Skip marrying Skip.
jordan holmes
Who could have guessed?
When did they get there?
dan friesen
Next, Crunchy Peanut Butter, because a grown man needs a challenge.
Thank you so much.
You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
And what I have to say about this is, if you consider Chunky Peanut Butter a challenge, what the hell is going on?
jordan holmes
Then you're not a grown man.
dan friesen
Or how chunky is this peanut butter?
jordan holmes
It's maybe a little too chunky.
dan friesen
You got pebbles in there?
jordan holmes
If you say this peanut butter is difficult as an adjective, I think you're in trouble.
dan friesen
Yeah, you're not going to make it.
jordan holmes
You're not going to enjoy it.
unidentified
Whoa.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
I'm out.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Anyway, we had a technocrat in the mix, Jordan.
So thank you so much to Dan and Jordan singing along with the strings from Endgame.
Delights me.
Thank you so much.
You are now a technocrat.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
unidentified
Four stars.
I'll honk your mouth and tell her you're brilliant.
pastor david manning
Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop.
alex jones
Daddy Shark.
Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent.
unidentified
He's a loser little titty baby.
alex jones
I don't want to hate black people.
I renounce Jesus Christ.
dan friesen
Thank you so much.
jordan holmes
Yes, thank you very much.
dan friesen
I needed playing for me to really get into it, but yeah, it is fun.
jordan holmes
It is.
dan friesen
So, basically, the beginning of this episode, here on the 2019th, not the 20th, Alex is really mad about Peter Hotez.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Do you know who that is?
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Okay.
So, he's a doctor.
And he and Joe Rogan...
jordan holmes
Oh, now I know who...
Now there was the whole saga where he said some stuff and then everybody sicked him on him and Elon Musk is fucking involved.
dan friesen
Yeah, Elon Musk has said some shit and then some guy showed up at his house and...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
I think a society where two people have so much outsized power and influence that they can just say mean things and then a human being is, I mean, a torrential downpour of bullshit on them.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, quite a bit.
So Alex is mad at this guy.
And what I find interesting is that Alex is trying to rewrite all of his shit and be like, this is one of my main villains all along.
He was primarily involved with the Wuhan lab, and we've been tracking this guy forever.
jordan holmes
He's just slotting him into wherever Fauci used to be.
Fauci's not important anymore.
He retired or whatever.
dan friesen
It's such a fascinating thing to watch when Alex finds a new villain, him imagining and pretending that, oh, I've been talking about this guy forever.
jordan holmes
All along.
dan friesen
It's the same thing you see with Epstein, the same thing you see with Fauci, the same thing you see with Peter Daszak or any of these new characters.
I've been on this guy since day one.
What are you talking about?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Get the fuck out of here.
jordan holmes
You have been claiming that Saddam's sons are still alive for 20 years, as far as I'm concerned.
dan friesen
Well, we don't know.
There might have been a certain point where he finally gave up that one.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
dan friesen
But yeah, so he's mad at Peter Hotez.
alex jones
A half ago, I said on air, January 2022, that the entire House of Cards concerning the poison shots had come down on top of the globalists.
And that they would double down and try to intimidate and threaten Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
And that that would make people like Joe Rogan dig deeper into the science and find out not only did the shots not work, but they knew they didn't work, and they created the virus, and it erases your immune system, and it's a plane to depopulate.
And I said on air, the globalists are so arrogant that they're going to do this and push it, and that will bring them down.
It's happening quicker than I thought, though.
unidentified
Number one story in the world.
alex jones
Hundreds of millions of views a day.
Idiots!
jordan holmes
Ruined man's life!
alex jones
I went and checked YouTube, same thing.
I'm sure it's everywhere else.
Facebook, Instagram.
In fact, I know it is.
Hundreds and hundreds of millions.
When I say hundreds of millions, Joe Rogan's getting hundreds of millions today himself.
Just regular response videos are getting like 10 million, 5 million, and there's thousands of people posting them.
And there's all these folks going out, just the general public, and finding all the clips of Peter Hotez who helped spearhead these poisoned shots against the American people and who spearheads calling for the arrest of anyone that doesn't take shots and the arrest of anyone that questions the scientist.
And he says, questioning is the opposite of science.
Debating is the opposite of science.
These are quotes.
He just went on MSNBC and said it today.
jordan holmes
But like, are they?
alex jones
He said, he's got a new one here.
unidentified
In science, you do not debate.
alex jones
In fact, if you had one word that would describe science, it would have to be research, debate, questioning.
That's what science is, questioning how the universe operates.
He's literally attacking one of the three or four pillars of what science is.
Debate.
You can debate which one's the central pillar, but it's three or four pillars here.
jordan holmes
Well, if you can debate it, it seems like it's obviously the central pillar.
unidentified
Reason?
alex jones
Research?
Questioning?
jordan holmes
Doing great.
alex jones
Debating?
jordan holmes
What else you got?
alex jones
But no, he says, you don't debate in science.
Okay?
It's alright.
unidentified
Alright.
alex jones
Alright.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
You don't debate.
In a sense, the idea is that you shouldn't have to talk about it.
It is or it isn't.
dan friesen
You can debate it in terms of discussing papers and stuff in these settings and things, but he was saying that I'm not going to debate Robert Kennedy Jr.
And I'm not going to debate...
Science isn't debating on Rogan's show.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
That's not going to settle anything.
Nope.
So Alex has taken this as like, he's trying to cut down science!
jordan holmes
I feel like we did this all 20 years ago whenever people were having those giant climate debates on every TV station where they'd be like, okay, well we've got one climate expert and then we've got a crazy person.
And we'll just sit him down and that'll just take care of it, right?
Didn't we do that all the time?
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
And it solved things.
dan friesen
I mean, it's an entertainment model.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And Rogan is very well aware of that.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
And he is really easy.
It's really easy to get the person who's making the sort of wackier claims and the person who's obviously an embarrassment to be in a debate with.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
That person's really easy.
To get a hold of, and Rogan's got a pack full of those people.
jordan holmes
A non-stop Rolodex.
A whole crew.
dan friesen
But yeah, trying to intimidate and badger the legitimate person into having that argument is a little more challenging, and that's kind of what you see here.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's crazy.
I mean, that's crazy.
We should all...
This is one of the weirder things for me, is that...
I feel like this is not a political thing at all.
We should all just look at what just happened with those two idiots and just being like, this guy sucks!
And then everyone piling on to them like an insane pack of wolves.
We should all just stop and be like, this is not cool, right?
This shouldn't happen.
dan friesen
It's not cool, but also I don't see it ever ending now.
jordan holmes
No, me neither.
dan friesen
I don't see people calming down.
jordan holmes
No, but come on.
This should not happen to people.
dan friesen
You're preaching to the choir.
But, yeah, I don't know.
It's fucked up.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's fucked up.
dan friesen
And I think also, you know, when you have people who are like, let's do a celebrity boxing match for charity.
It's like, okay, we understand that this is a spectacle and nothing's really going to come of it.
jordan holmes
It's profoundly unserious.
dan friesen
That's how Rogan should treat inviting someone to do a debate on his show.
Yeah.
There should be an understanding that this is unserious.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Alex Jones gets drunk on your show and blows your mind with bullshit.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
You're not going to come to any larger...
There's not going to be a Frost Nixon moment where Peter Hotez is like, you know what, vaccines don't work!
jordan holmes
No, you should literally have to look across from a person wearing clown makeup and be like, this is what I'm doing with my life.
I'm talking to this person, okay?
dan friesen
So for this next clip, a little bit of a content warning.
Alex does some...
Fun?
Not fun.
Disgusting.
A heavy implication that Peter Hotez is a child abuser.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
So great.
alex jones
That portable baby.
Look at that disingenuous, predatory smile.
Now, I'm not saying Brian Stelter's a pedophile.
Got no proof he is.
I'm not saying Dr. Peter Hotez is.
I'm just telling you, if I was going to cast somebody for a movie about pedophiles that drive around in white vans grabbing kids, I would come to him hat in hand and say, Sir, we need you to be the leader of the underground base with the kidnapped children.
Now, in reality, he's just a guy that runs a big children's hospital and is one of the head infectious disease people under Fauci, pushing four shots, lockdowns, the arrest of those that don't take them, and taking over our bodies.
He doesn't rape children physically with his penis.
We don't have any proof of that.
He wants to rape them with needles full of GMO concoctions.
With his little, I wonder if he porky pigs it with the little bow tie on there.
So, you want to have that?
That guy runs a children's hospital.
What a nice man.
dan friesen
This is gross.
unidentified
Can you, can he do that?
jordan holmes
Because, I mean, not in like a can he or anything kind of way.
I mean, specifically, all right, it's Trump's fault for all of the vaccine stuff.
So your vehemence towards this guy should also translate to Trump.
dan friesen
No, no, no, because Trump got fooled by the globalists into doing what he did, whereas Peter Hotez was the guy who specifically engineered COVID in a lab and then made the vaccines.
jordan holmes
Okay, now if that is his fault, admittedly you have me.
unidentified
It is a slight difference.
dan friesen
It's all bullshit, but it is a slight difference.
I thought you were going to say, is it okay legally for him to make these kinds of implications?
It's like, unfortunately, probably.
jordan holmes
Yeah, probably.
Nobody's going to stop him either way.
dan friesen
Intensely unacceptable.
It's not okay.
So Alex has a clip of Hotez on TV being interviewed, and Alex, he just gets mad at him.
alex jones
There was a debate with RFK Jr.
peter hotez
I've discussed this issue with him many times by phone and by email, and the problem is, you know, he just keeps on moving the goalposts.
unidentified
I mean, first, it was the measles, the measles, the vaccine that caused autism.
alex jones
That's enough.
unidentified
What's that?
alex jones
I don't want to listen anymore.
They have been proven to be liars about the whole thing.
They created the virus.
They released it for a giant globalist power grab.
It's called Operation Lockstep.
You're living in the middle of it.
They have a UN world treaty they're trying to push through where the UN controls every major nation state's medical policy and you have no rights under it.
And all your medical privacy and autonomy of your body, bodily autonomy, is stripped.
They are flagrant.
Clear and present dangers to civilization and society.
They're part of a biomedical, eugenics, transhumanist power grab, people.
unidentified
Oh, somebody went to his house and talked to him in his yard.
alex jones
This guy wants to come take your kids, put you in a camp, force inject you, put you in jail for your speech.
He's on Big Pharma's payroll.
He's a disgusting blob in his little suit, his little priest suit, his little white outfit.
You don't own me, scumbag!
unidentified
I own my body, you self!
alex jones
Okay.
dan friesen
All right.
alex jones
All right, man.
jordan holmes
It's just that.
It's that.
He's not going to stop himself.
He can't stop himself.
Like, even now, he's still going to be like, oh, somebody showed up at your house.
Dude.
dan friesen
You know what?
But here's the slight difference that I would make.
I don't actually think it's that bad to show up at someone's house who is a matter of, like, you know, you're doing a news story or something like that.
I know that this does happen periodically with journalists.
Sure.
jordan holmes
Oh, it was a journalist who showed up?
dan friesen
In theory.
jordan holmes
That's where I'm going to make the difference.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you.
dan friesen
The act of showing up at somebody's house to ask them hard questions about X, Y, or Z thing...
I think that that can be done within the arena of journalism.
jordan holmes
It's impolite.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
But it can be done.
dan friesen
Maybe it is impolite.
And it's also something that is delicate.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
And something that I don't trust most people to do responsibly.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And one of the reasons why I think it's kind of more okay for somebody who works under the umbrella of an actual company or, you know, some actual news organization is that if they are acting inappropriately or indelicately, they're probably going to get in trouble or fired.
jordan holmes
Yeah, there are avenues for accountability.
dan friesen
Yeah, whereas somebody who's a ding-dong with a camera isn't necessarily going to have those same measures of accountability, and it's way easier for it to be something that gets out of control, something that is done.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sure.
Well, it is if they're not a public figure.
To some extent, this guy is.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
You know, like, it's not...
It's a little bit of a gray area in terms of whether he's an appropriate person for you to show up at their house.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, right.
dan friesen
But you know what I mean.
jordan holmes
Yeah, well, I mean, if his first question is why'd you kill all them babies, then I think we know that you're not really a journalist here.
dan friesen
Perhaps.
jordan holmes
You've probably got more of an agenda on your mind.
dan friesen
True.
True.
Although the people on the other side would say that the Washington Post has an agenda.
jordan holmes
That's fair.
That's fair.
But, you know, they didn't ask, why'd you kill all them babies?
dan friesen
It's true.
So, Alex has some of these old buddies coming around.
You know, you have the Gavin.
You have some other people on this episode that we'll get to.
But he also has some new friends.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
New friends named Alex, even.
jordan holmes
Alex Borstein?
No.
What?
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
No, Alex Mack.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
No, it's Alex Rosen.
Have you ever heard of this guy?
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
He's the guy who showed up at Peter Hotez's house.
jordan holmes
You son of a...
alex jones
Yeah.
jordan holmes
How dare you drop that reveal on me so well?
dan friesen
Yeah, so here's Alex rattling off some bullshit at this guy.
alex jones
And by the way, let me correct, because I was correct.
I said last time I looked at it was 10 million.
Your video now is 18.7 million views, so congratulations.
Thanks.
And by the way, I saw it all over the place duplicated.
It's probably like 50 million right now, so here's the problem.
I'm not going to get into specifics, but they've run ops on me.
When we expose pedophiles before, they'll then distract off to a place where they're not actually doing it to protect from what was really going on in New York.
Then they have somebody go in with a gun, or these groups do, and then they turn it around that I sent them.
You're calling for peace.
You're calling for justice.
You're not calling for violence.
We're not calling for violence.
You as a journalist and as an activist went and saw him in his yard and talked to him, and he didn't even tell you to leave, but you said bye-bye, and you left.
And you went to the police department as opposed to calling for your arrest, and you talked to them and said what you did, and they said, no, you've done nothing wrong.
Obviously, it's a stunt to show how the left are a bunch of lying frauds.
Now, if you'd have burned down some police stations again, you probably would have gotten bailed out by Kamala Harris, which she did do stuff like that.
But I am concerned that this is exactly what they'll do.
In fact, I've been predicting for two years they're going to false flag some of their gods, like Fauci or Hotez or some of the others.
Now, what you did is great.
And they're not going to be able to connect it to that.
But I am concerned that they themselves or their controllers are going to stage something because, Alex, they're getting their asses handed to them.
I mean, they are getting routed.
If we were waking up three years ago, I see this metaphysically, metaphorically, culturally, mathematically.
jordan holmes
What?
alex jones
Death Star destruction.
I mean, the fact that everywhere people know the shots are poison, that they're a fraud, that these guys are scammers, and the fact that they've tried to launch a counteroffensive saying that we're frauds, it's blown up in their face, and 95% of the comments are positive for us, shows devastating victory.
So I'm really concerned about what they're going to pull.
dan friesen
Take a fucking breath.
jordan holmes
I have no idea what he just said.
There were so many words, and what was that, a minute and a half long of nonstop words?
Yeah.
That's crazy.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think he's on speed.
jordan holmes
Yeah!
unidentified
Yeah!
dan friesen
I think maybe he's a little pepped up.
jordan holmes
He's got some circular breathing going on where he's breathing while speaking in.
I mean, it's insane.
Yeah.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
Find it difficult to imagine how one would appropriately respond to that.
jordan holmes
I'll take...
Alex, I'll take your points one at a time.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
I've taken some notes and...
I mean, you bring up a lot of really important...
jordan holmes
Can I ask, where did we begin?
Did we begin with the weird Kamala thing, or did we begin...
Where did it start or finish?
dan friesen
See, it's just this beautiful thing where there is no start, there is no beginning.
It is like the circular breathing that Alex has learned to do while he's on blow.
jordan holmes
Right.
Time is a flat circle, yes.
Okay.
dan friesen
Wow.
So...
He just wants these answers from these people who are pushing the shots.
Sure.
There are people who have problematic products in the world who would definitely give answers to questions.
Like Elon Musk, for instance.
alex rosen
Right?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He has all these cars that are blowing up and going into traffic and crashing and stuff.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he makes a lot of shit that doesn't work.
alex rosen
Right.
dan friesen
But he is the kind of guy who would answer questions if he was pressed on them.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
Yeah.
alex rosen
I think with confronting Hotez in person, it just shows to even more people that, hey, this guy isn't going to answer basic questions.
I mean, you know, if you confronted Elon Musk about, hey, what do you have to say about kind of self-driving Teslas maybe crashing or something?
I think he would answer that, and I think he should answer that.
So how come when it comes to Peter Hotez, oh, he doesn't need to be answering that type of stuff.
You're a conspiracy theorist.
I mean, it's ridiculous.
When you put out a product, endorse something, and it influences millions of people, then, yeah, you should at least answer questions about it.
But, yeah.
alex jones
Keep going, brother.
Lay more knowledge on us.
That was a great point about consumer advocacy, consumer rights.
They're trying to force this shot on us and say that we don't have a right to question it.
But people are questioning Elon Musk, and he responds.
It's sad.
I don't like self-driving cars overall because they're going to take humans out of the equation.
But Musk is allowed to build them and they have some uses.
The point is that he does respond to criticism.
He does talk to reporters.
dan friesen
Real quick, he doesn't.
jordan holmes
No, he doesn't.
dan friesen
He claims that things aren't happening.
jordan holmes
I've seen so many things where it's like, when reached to Twitter for comment, they sent a poop emoji.
Like, what are we doing?
Shut the fuck up.
alex jones
This guy wants policy and wants to silence us on top of it.
dan friesen
Also another point, Peter Hotez didn't make the Moderna nor Pfizer shots.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
So I don't know what questions you need him to answer on that front.
alex jones
And then doesn't want to be questioned.
unidentified
I call total BS.
alex rosen
Yeah, and, you know, it's just, I mean, I called COVID before Revenge of the Nerds, and that's exactly what it is.
I mean, people like Peter Hotez who, and obviously high school doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but people like Peter Hotez who probably didn't have a lot of friends in high school, not a lot of friends growing up, just not really a likable person.
I think a lot of COVID is psychological of the fact that they finally get their revenge on people who are fulfilled in life, happy people.
I think it's just retribution, man.
I think they're all like little Elliot Rodgers who are just finally saying, oh, I'm going to get revenge on all these people who wronged me and all this type of stuff.
That's what I really think it is because now all these nerds and these geeks and these losers, they felt fulfilled doing all this stuff because they could say, oh, I'm the cool one now because I got vaccinated.
I'm going to leave you out of it now.
I think it's all sad.
alex jones
They're carrying out violence by passive-aggressive covert means.
dan friesen
This is not a serious exchange of ideas.
This is stupid.
jordan holmes
We all went through the pandemic together.
Nobody got revenge through it.
dan friesen
That's where you're wrong.
jordan holmes
I really feel like nobody could get revenge through it.
dan friesen
The nerds rose up.
alex rosen
What?
jordan holmes
Would they do that?
unidentified
Because they were bullied and no one liked them and they were all sad.
jordan holmes
No, and I understand where you're coming from.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
I get where you're coming from.
I feel like it's because you're sad.
unidentified
I'm a dork.
alex rosen
I'm a dork.
I'm going to get COVID.
jordan holmes
I'm confused at your reasoning.
dan friesen
Well, yeah, because it's stupid.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I get it.
dan friesen
This dude's an alpha.
That's fun.
You know, he...
It's a very bizarre opinion and perception of how people work and think.
And I think that there's another element of this that probably is worth mentioning, and that is that this guy, Alex Rosen, what he does is he entraps pedophiles online.
So there is a phenomenon of people who have TikTok channels or YouTube channels.
be underage folks and then lure someone and then gotcha.
They record the basically Chris Hansen amateur though without the police generally being involved.
jordan holmes
Right.
unidentified
That's usually an important part.
dan friesen
I think that not to defend anybody who is cruising for underage people online because I have a whole lot of sympathy for them getting...
Embarrassed in the video or arrested.
But I do think, in the same way that coming to someone's house to ask investigative journalistic questions is best left to people who have accountability, who have a certain amount of a job or protocol, things like that in place.
It is better, I think, generally.
I find it very...
Worrying.
The idea of people who've kind of made cottage industries of themselves hunting down people vigilante-ish online.
Yeah.
You know, I think that there's a lot of possibilities for that to go wrong.
There's also a lot of possibilities for you to have your evidence not be accepted and someone not actually get in trouble.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, like, I don't know.
For this guy to be, you know, this is his bread and butter, you know, what he generally does.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Now he's going and confronting Peter Hotez.
It's just weird.
I don't dig it.
unidentified
I don't like the whole thing.
jordan holmes
Everybody stop doing all of it.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah, all of it together.
All of it.
Let's do something different.
dan friesen
And you also probably should stop doing this, too.
alex jones
Well, incredible job.
I'm going to go to break in five more minutes with us.
Come back for a full hour soon.
Incredible Alex Rosen.
You've got to get his video.
You've got to share it.
He is just in the zeitgeist.
And I think more people should peacefully go.
and just peacefully ask him questions and educate his neighbors about them and show his neighbors the video.
What?
unidentified
We're going to have it posted on him.
dan friesen
So now we're way past the line that I was making the distinction about earlier.
Alex is now encouraging his audience to show up at this guy's house, to bother his neighbors.
I mean, this is just direct harassment that Alex is encouraging.
And also hanging out on this sort of limb of like, He's gone super viral.
Almost as if like, hey, you could too.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You go and do this.
jordan holmes
Oh my god.
dan friesen
Yeah, pretty sick shit.
unidentified
That's...
jordan holmes
That's...
I just...
Fine.
Fine.
dan friesen
He doesn't learn.
jordan holmes
Fine.
You know what?
Fine.
All of you, you can have him.
That's what you get.
dan friesen
You can have Alex?
jordan holmes
Yes!
You can have him!
unidentified
I've tried to tell you!
dan friesen
Yeah, it's pretty wild that this behavior would still be something that he feels comfortable engaging in.
jordan holmes
Well, why not?
dan friesen
You know, mobilizing audiences towards civilians and people's homes.
jordan holmes
You know, I mean, the thing about it, though, is that that seems like it would be more likely to increase as opposed to less.
What does he have to lose now?
Fuck it.
In fact, maybe the only way that he gets out of this shit is if all of his fans start going around and fucking people up.
So why wouldn't he do it?
And the consequences for it are none now.
dan friesen
It doesn't seem like there's much more that can be civilly done.
jordan holmes
Right.
Exactly.
So, yeah, fuck it.
dan friesen
Yeah, you might be right.
So, in addition to this old, or this new guy coming around, Alex has an old friend.
An old Bilderberg friend.
Not Jim Tucker, because that guy's dead.
jordan holmes
Did I forget that he was dead?
dan friesen
Oh, he's very dead.
The ghost of Jim Tucker is not on the show.
It is...
Daniel Estelin!
jordan holmes
Oh, no!
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
Oh, God.
dan friesen
Daniel Bilderberg.
jordan holmes
Welcome back.
dan friesen
Yep, so he wants to explain the liberal satanic agenda.
alex jones
And if I let him roll, he'll really give us some incredible data.
And I'll have some questions later in the hour if he wants to go more into the next hour we can.
So, Daniel, good to have you back.
Amazing here, my friend.
And let him have it.
unidentified
Alex, actually, I've been thinking that you and I, we attended the 2006, I think it was, Bilderberg Conference in 2006, 2007.
alex jones
2006.
unidentified
In Ottawa, the outskirts of Ottawa in Canada.
And before that, you had me on when my book came out on the Bilderberg Group back in 2004 and 2005.
So, yeah, we've known each other for about 20 years.
We've been at it for a really long time, haven't we?
alex jones
Yes, sir.
Well, I mean...
daniel estulin
I was listening to what the previous guest was talking about, and you were mentioning the left agenda, the leftists.
unidentified
With your permission, I'd like to explain where this entire movement came from, because I think a lot of people don't quite understand.
We're not so much talking about the leftists, we're talking about the liberal, global liberal agenda.
Which is a global satanic agenda.
jordan holmes
Naturally.
unidentified
But most people don't understand where it came from.
They think it just came out because George Soros was on the scene.
Actually, this thing goes way back in time.
daniel estulin
So again, with your permission, if that's okay with you, I want to explain this.
unidentified
Because I think people need to understand.
dan friesen
I'd love it if Alex was like, no.
jordan holmes
Yeah, don't.
dan friesen
You do not have my permission to do this.
jordan holmes
Don't do that.
Please don't.
dan friesen
So yeah, Estelin's...
I mean, first of all, I gotta say, Esalen is a fucking moron.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And we've been over him, we talked about him a bit, we talked about him in the Endgame coverage ad nauseum, because he's in that film, hence the...
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
The strings.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
The sweet strings of Endgame.
dan friesen
So, he is an idiot, and I just...
I marvel at listening to him.
Here's him starting to talk about this liberal satanic agenda.
And I was going to try and follow all of the threads of thought, but I was just like, I can't do this.
It is a ball of yarn that shall not...
Gordian not.
jordan holmes
It's a Gordian not.
All right, all right.
I'll get my sword out and we'll handle this problem.
unidentified
Okay.
So, listen, until I said the early 1980s, American society was mostly concerned.
Sure.
values and their outlook of life was conservative.
And so then the situation changed in favor of the liberals with the advent of Reaganomics, Credit stimulation of demand.
daniel estulin
And since this mechanism, which was based on the refinancing of private debt, allowed for the creation of a very stable middle class, more than half of the population of the United States, in fact, not only the United States, but we're talking about America, served as a, let's say, social anchor.
And the middle class, unlike the poor, is very interested in having a strong state, even if the strong state is controlled by the bankers, which it is today.
And so it was from this period, again, we're going back to the early 1980s, that liberalism, not in a classical sense of the 19th century liberalism, such as Voltaire, for example, but modern liberals, was a gay parade, juvenile justice, sex change operations, pedophilia, which is about to be legalized the world over, etc., etc.
jordan holmes
Sure.
unidentified
Okay?
daniel estulin
So this is the meaning of juvenile justice reform being implemented not only in the United States and Canada, but I repeat, again, in the entire way.
unidentified
What are we talking about?
dan friesen
What is happening?
jordan holmes
Okay, so Reaganomics.
dan friesen
Yep, that's where liberals took over.
jordan holmes
Which is maybe the most mind-bogglingly wrong thing I think I've ever heard anybody say.
dan friesen
Sure, sure.
jordan holmes
Ever.
dan friesen
Well, sure.
Yeah.
Until...
jordan holmes
Until later on in his very own clip.
Yes, correct.
Alright, so then it's juvenile justice reform?
dan friesen
That is somehow about legalizing pedophilia, I think.
jordan holmes
But I don't know how we got from the 80s to...
dan friesen
Well, the 80s was when Reaganomics had credit-based...
Demand.
jordan holmes
Right.
It was refinancing low-interest loans?
dan friesen
Yeah.
So the demand in the supply and demand structure was inflated by the ability of people being able to buy things on credit.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And this is where...
jordan holmes
Pedophilia got legalized.
unidentified
Kaboom.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
That makes sense.
dan friesen
It does.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
So yeah, I don't know what his point is.
Honestly, I listened to this, I don't really know what his point is.
He does not like liberals.
He's pretty into just about every one of the conspiracies that you'll get.
But he does have a position that I think is a little bit weird for Infowars, and that is that he believes that Trump...
Xi Jinping and Putin were working together to topple the New World Order.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
And so he's still like a big supporter of China and Putin.
jordan holmes
In a sense, they were.
And in a sense, they very much weren't.
dan friesen
Well, if you conceive of sort of liberal governments, in terms of liberty and such, if you conceive of that as what the New World Order is, then perhaps.
But it's strange, because it is far more of a full-throated support of Putin, even now.
Basically being like, you know, if Putin loses in Ukraine, we all lose.
unidentified
Great.
jordan holmes
Good.
Good news.
dan friesen
It's pretty out there.
jordan holmes
I bet he's having a real struggle recently.
dan friesen
Well, we don't know what has happened since the 24-hour fiasco for Daniel Estelin.
Also, I do want to touch on this really quick, because while we were sort of down towards the end of last week...
Owen Troyer pled guilty to his January 6th stuff.
And I would just like to say that anybody who thinks that that is an indication that he's flipping on Alex or something, that is absurd.
This is a misdemeanor.
It is funny on some level, him being like, we're going to fight this.
jordan holmes
We're going to fight until the end of the earth, and then he just agrees to plead guilty.
dan friesen
Yeah, he's going to get some kind of a very minor punishment.
out of it.
Yeah.
unidentified
And I think that one of the reasons that it's actually advantageous for him to plead guilty is you get some kind of a resolution for it.
dan friesen
And like I saw the headline on InfoWars was InfoWars reporter charged while Hunter Biden goes free or something, you know, like that like ability to, to propagandize off it.
But yeah, if you think it's like a, he's turned state property on, on Alex, it's ridiculous.
I saw some of that on Twitter.
I just was like, no, you guys are.
jordan holmes
Stop.
dan friesen
You guys are very optimistic.
jordan holmes
No one else is paying Owen.
Forever.
dan friesen
Not even the government.
jordan holmes
No, nobody even in the future is going to pay Owen.
dan friesen
So, back to Daniel Estelin.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's a Bilderberger insider.
He's a...
He's a guy who knows shit.
jordan holmes
He's plugged in.
dan friesen
Oh, so plugged in.
jordan holmes
So plugged in.
dan friesen
He's been following these Bilderberg people for decades and has made a lot of progress.
jordan holmes
Since Reaganomics, at least.
dan friesen
Oh, man.
He has gotten so much done.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Changed the world.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
But he has apparently, and I don't even believe this part.
He has apparently talked to rogue Bilderberg members.
There's apparently Bilderberg members within the structure who have gone rogue.
jordan holmes
I'm in on rogue Bilderberg members.
That is a new development that I appreciate.
dan friesen
Yeah, and as soon as he brings this up, Alex is like, I've talked to them too.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
Good times.
Of good times.
alex jones
This gives me chills because I've got four children.
One of them is six years old.
And I look at an elite that are so delusional they can't see what's happening.
But the good news is...
Daniel's a really smart intellectual.
Thank you.
He was able to meet with these people because they were listening to some of the dissenters in Bilderberg that actually thought, no, these people are nuts.
They don't see what's happening.
So he was talking to people that were at the highest level of wargaming 20 years ago, 18 years ago, 15 years ago, 10 years ago, about their own concern about how they get out of what they've done.
So when we're up here...
We're not talking about some right-wing football issue or some left-wing political distraction issue that are sub-issues.
We're talking, like you said, 30,000, 10,000-foot view that only big picture and being honest will do anything.
Instead of debating their kind of scorched earth, stay-behind network thing where they're all digging into bunkers, I don't want the elite to have to be in bunkers.
I want to have some kind of peace deal and fix the world.
And that is what Putin has tried to do.
And I'm not a...
jordan holmes
I'm sorry?
alex jones
A Russophile.
But I'm also not a Russophobe.
And so...
China made deals with the globalists.
It's kind of broken with them, and now they're maybe back.
Who knows?
What?
unidentified
But Russia, again, just like Hitler, just like Napoleon, is its own deal standing against this.
alex jones
It's a magic moment, so I'm going to shut up again.
jordan holmes
Just like Hitler.
Just like Napoleon.
Two of the great people in history.
dan friesen
Making a stand.
jordan holmes
Yeah, just fighting against the tide of all those people trying to survive around them.
dan friesen
Oh boy!
So that's a bad mentality.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And then I would also like to suggest that it's a bad mentality within Alex's worldview.
He doesn't think that that's what Hitler was doing.
Hitler was set up.
jordan holmes
Yeah!
What are we doing here?
dan friesen
Hitler was part of the same thing.
It's like the two sides of the same coin thing.
You shouldn't believe this.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
dan friesen
That's even nazier than Alex usually is.
jordan holmes
It's...
Unfortunate to feel like I'm constantly wandering around quicksand.
dan friesen
That's because you are.
jordan holmes
No, you don't believe that according to the things that you don't believe.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Also, let's unpack.
China made some deals.
Maybe they're not.
jordan holmes
Maybe they're back.
Whatever.
China's China.
You know, they're gonna do!
What are they gonna do?
They're just gonna do China.
dan friesen
I think I'd feel embarrassed if I said that.
jordan holmes
I mean, that's...
dan friesen
Also, I think I'd feel embarrassed if I took the piss out of my own bread and butter like he did with the football issues.
jordan holmes
I mean...
dan friesen
He's like, oh, we're not talking about some right-wing distraction thing that I spend all of my show on.
jordan holmes
All day, every day!
All day, every day!
Yeah, all day, every day.
dan friesen
Yeah, this isn't like my normal show where it's just being mad about nothing for no reason.
jordan holmes
Yeah, and you know, I'm thinking of the context of Bilderberg members going rogue and talking to Daniel Estela and being like, how are we going to get out of this situation?
dan friesen
Yeah, what have we wrought?
jordan holmes
Like, in the greater cosmology...
These people are either lesser demons or people who are directly associated with actual demons.
dan friesen
Yeah, so you gotta kind of suspect that what they're doing is fucking with Daniel Estelon.
jordan holmes
It has to be!
dan friesen
It's a trap.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Right?
jordan holmes
I mean, in their worldview, there are literal demons and these people know them.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
To the point where...
dan friesen
You don't turn off demonic possession like with Light Switch.
unidentified
No!
jordan holmes
And you can't just like, hey, listen, I'm lying to this interdimensional infinite being over here.
I need your help.
dan friesen
Yeah, how do I get out of this?
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
Daniel Estelin.
jordan holmes
You don't.
He's a demon.
dan friesen
Hey, I know you wrote some really stupid books.
Help me defeat the devil.
Okay.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
Cool, man.
jordan holmes
Hey, could you help me with my eternal soul?
Because there's this demon behind me.
dan friesen
I would choose a better person to talk to.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But Jim Tucker's dead, so I guess...
jordan holmes
The bottom of the barrel.
dan friesen
So Alex asks, you know, this is this, where do you go?
You know?
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
There's some shit that's gonna go down.
It's just gonna happen.
It's inevitable.
So what do you do?
jordan holmes
Where do you go?
dan friesen
Where do you go?
jordan holmes
You go underground, right?
dan friesen
What's safe?
No, you don't want to go underground.
jordan holmes
Oh.
daniel estulin
Well, the idea is, again, the idea is you stay where you are, but you start building a community within, because in the end, you're going to protect and defend your nation.
unidentified
Okay?
God's life, country, whatever that is, whatever that may be, it doesn't make a difference.
Okay?
You'll always be safer in your own land than anywhere else in the world.
alex jones
I think that's very astute.
Because if you don't know the terrain and the people, people should be getting folks they trust, getting ready now, and getting psychologically ready for what's going down.
And then we can do anything together if we're even psychologically, spiritually ready is what you're saying.
Yeah.
unidentified
So if the robots aren't getting there on time to save the globalists and they're crazy enough to hope nuclear war would have saved them, that's...
Well, there's a lot of stuff going on, Alex.
Again, there's a lot of unknowns, okay?
And one of the things, one of the good things is that, again, no one has the roadmap to explain where we're going.
Which means that the globalists, because they don't have a map for the first time in history.
They have no way to get from point A to point B. They don't have the language to explain.
alex jones
And by the way, it's funny you say that, because I read the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Times in London, then I read the CFR, and I said to some of these globalists I met with the last few years, I said, so I'm here because you don't know what to do.
And they said, no, things are coming to an end.
We're trying to figure out what you think.
And so I can tell you what you're saying is accurate.
What you just said is the whole, they know they've come to a brick wall.
They know they've come to a dead end.
And so this is an amazing moment right now.
dan friesen
These globalists, the conspiracy goes back to the devil.
Like, it goes back through all the human history that we have, back to biblical times and stuff.
But for the first time ever, they don't know what to do.
Isn't that convenient?
jordan holmes
I think you're just revealing that you've got no ideas.
We've been doing the COVID thing, now we've run out of ideas.
dan friesen
Some of these other stuff, like monkeypox, we tried to do that as the next COVID that didn't work.
We're really gonna hit our own brick wall when, you know, 90% of the population isn't dead from these shots here in a little bit.
jordan holmes
We've hung our hat a lot on a lot of people are going to die from the shots.
But they're not going to.
dan friesen
No.
And they all should be dead by now.
jordan holmes
Way dead.
dan friesen
That doesn't seem to be happening.
jordan holmes
And we should have nuclear war by now.
dan friesen
Oh, and that's not happening either.
jordan holmes
It's not race specific.
dan friesen
Shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Well, the globalists don't know what to do.
jordan holmes
For the first time ever, the globalists don't know what to do.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So one of the things I think is really fun about the Daniel Estelan interview is that they haven't talked in five years.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And, well, that's what they say.
I don't know if that's true or not.
But Alex was like, yeah, I got a new phone number, and, you know, maybe you didn't know.
jordan holmes
I got a new phone!
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
No!
unidentified
We didn't have each other's number, and, you know, just like, hey, you're the best, man.
jordan holmes
Oh, my God.
dan friesen
You are a primary high-level source that we haven't really worked...
Like, a lot of the people that Alex has had on in the, like, past years...
They've been worn out.
No one cares anymore.
Their name is not going to get anyone excited.
And so now this is somebody who's like, oh, maybe his authoritative voice can be exciting for a little while.
But yeah, it'll be diminishing returns.
jordan holmes
Way diminishing.
dan friesen
So we have another guy who's coming back after a years-long absence.
And when I heard this...
I was just like, I don't even know why.
I don't know what's going on anymore.
alex jones
Alright, for the next hour and 22 minutes, Owen Benjamin, a popular comedian and researcher and talk show host, joins us.
He's been on before years ago, and I wanted to get him on just because he's a controversial guy and definitely challenges the system, and that's important.
Whether you agree with somebody or not, it's important to promote free speech.
In this great age of tyranny.
So we're going to cover the waterfront here.
We haven't talked before he came on.
I called him a few days ago, asked him to come on.
He said, sure, OwenBenjamin.com.
You can find everything there.
Most folks know who he is.
dan friesen
Yeah, why do they know who he is?
This is embarrassing for both of them.
jordan holmes
Yeah, this is not good.
dan friesen
This is really weird.
jordan holmes
This is not good.
dan friesen
So Owen Benjamin was a fourth hour host on Alex's show.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
After he sort of got...
You know, marginalized from the intellectual dark web folk.
And so he was doing the fourth hour.
And then he started to get really into Hitler.
And really, really anti-Semitic.
jordan holmes
He was really into Hitler.
dan friesen
Very much so.
To the point where I think it would be fair to describe him as a Nazi.
jordan holmes
An actual out-and-out Nazi.
dan friesen
Yeah, very much so.
A lot of his ideas are...
Yeah.
And so he was too much for Alex, too much of a Nazi for Alex, and so he didn't do the fourth hour anymore, and instead was in his compound in Idaho, where he would drunkenly sit around a fire and livestream anti-Semitic shit to a smallish audience of people who would call him Big Bear.
jordan holmes
Okay, so if I understand correctly, Owen Benjamin, comedian.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Former comedian.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Has a compound in Idaho.
dan friesen
Still does.
jordan holmes
Still does.
Where he gets drunk and sits in front of a fire and then streams.
dan friesen
Well, he would do that.
I don't know if he's doing that anymore.
I haven't kept close tabs on his career.
jordan holmes
I mean, you don't watch every Nazi.
dan friesen
Nah, I can't.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I found his shows that I did watch to be a bit sloppy.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
And a little bit boring.
jordan holmes
Sounds right.
dan friesen
But yeah, so he did that.
And then one of the things that I will say, not to his credit, not a positive about Owen Benjamin, but something that I find entertaining, is that he's a guy who doesn't give a fuck.
Like, when the intellectual dark web decided to disown him, he put out a video.
Talking about how much they're a bunch of shitheads and how, like, they all worship Sam Harris and his parents made Golden Girls and he's just living off a silver spoon, this fucking rich asshole.
So, like, he burns people.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
And after he and Alex had a falling out, he was like, this guy's a fucking alcoholic liar.
Everything is, he's just so full of shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And so...
jordan holmes
So now he's back.
dan friesen
And I think I can succinctly, through what I've just said, sort of support my claim that this is embarrassing for both of them.
They should not be talking.
jordan holmes
Don't do it.
dan friesen
And if they are talking, they should probably be dealing with the fact that they both hate each other, or presumably hate each other, and have pretty fundamental problems with each other's worldviews and careers.
jordan holmes
If there was a VH1 show...
Then, like, 30 years afterwards, I could see getting Owen, Benjamin, and Alex to, like, sit down and just be like, you know, we said a lot of stuff to each other in the past.
You know that?
dan friesen
Shit, man.
jordan holmes
They shouldn't even do this.
dan friesen
On this episode, I think it would be incredibly valuable if Alex and Owen would have a conversation about what exactly it was that made them in, like, we could not be...
Working with each other at that time.
Alex, what about me was too Nazi for your show?
Draw a clear line.
jordan holmes
Well, you said you liked Hitler.
dan friesen
Yeah, apparently that's not a problem.
You had yay on.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah, that's true.
dan friesen
And yay, if you'll remember, referenced Owen Benjamin's jokes.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's a good point.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
I would play the clips where Owen Benjamin's shitting on Alex, but I played them during that yay episode.
It's been recently.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, but the problem there is the honest conversation is, listen, I agree with you on everything that you believe, but by using slight euphemisms, I can say it, and if you tell the truth like I say I do, then we're gonna get in trouble.
So, you gotta go.
dan friesen
And maybe, you know...
Elon Musk has taken over Twitter, and bigots are allowed back on, so Owen's back on Twitter.
jordan holmes
Bigots are everywhere.
dan friesen
Owen has that, so maybe he's trying to grow his brand again, and so he's willing to not say some of these things on Alex's show in order to get back that platform, get some of that money coming back in.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, he sucks.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You know what's weird, though?
jordan holmes
Hour and 22 minutes, exactly?
dan friesen
Yeah, it's mostly about farming.
I'm not joking.
jordan holmes
Well, that makes sense.
That makes sense.
That makes as much sense as anything else you've said today.
dan friesen
You know what it's not about?
His Nazi beliefs.
jordan holmes
Strange.
dan friesen
It's not about how he very publicly called Alex a liar and told tales out of school about his time working for Alex.
I think that that stuff is in the air, and they're pretending that it's not.
Anybody who's watching this who has an awareness of the two of them, anybody who's watched Alex's show for a couple years, would be like, you guys are cowards.
If Alex and Owen had the relationship that they had, and Alex calls and is like, hey, do you want to be on the show?
If Owen says yes, There's really only two reasons.
One is to confront him.
And two is because he's desperate.
And he doesn't confront him.
Because every other thing about their entire path together would lead me to be like, no.
I don't want to come on your show.
I think you're an alcoholic liar.
jordan holmes
That's why I said it.
But it turns out, even though I said it then, it didn't bother me for the years before.
Seemed pretty fine with it then.
Well, guess what?
Now I can get over it.
dan friesen
Now it's fine again.
jordan holmes
Now it's fine again.
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
I took a five-year break from you being an alcoholic liar, and now you're not an alcoholic liar.
It's that fast.
dan friesen
Yeah, the people who like watching me drunk around a campfire maybe aren't enough to keep up on property taxes for my compound.
jordan holmes
I shouldn't have gotten a compound.
Gotta downsize.
dan friesen
Maybe.
jordan holmes
Should have gotten a tiny house.
dan friesen
So anyway, here's where their interview begins.
alex jones
It is an insane world we live in.
So, Owen, thanks for joining us.
I'm going to let you launch the first topic here.
owen benjamin
Oh, thanks for having me, man.
I just wanted to say I appreciate you having me, and I'm glad to have this convo.
And happy Juneteenth.
Today is a new holiday, apparently.
Juneteenth.
It's a big one.
jordan holmes
Not a new holiday.
alex jones
In fact, this is the day that the Republicans freed the slaves from the Democrats, which actually happened.
owen benjamin
Oh, nice.
I didn't know that.
alex jones
The Democrats turn it around that it's the Republicans, so yeah.
dan friesen
It's good.
You've got a comedian.
They're clearly opening with a nice joke.
jordan holmes
Great one.
dan friesen
Alex really ground that to a halt.
Yeah.
He's not a good scene partner.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
dan friesen
But hey, why don't we try again?
jordan holmes
Are we going to try again with the same joke?
dan friesen
Yeah.
No.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
Different joke.
jordan holmes
Different joke.
dan friesen
So they're talking a little bit about RFK Jr.
Because Alex is still kind of into him, but also kind of like, he doesn't like guns enough.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure, sure.
dan friesen
And so he wants Owen Benjamin's take on it.
Owen's kind of...
He lives in a fucking...
jordan holmes
The woods in Idaho.
No government can affect me here.
dan friesen
I don't think he cares that much.
Big picture.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And isn't super into RFK Jr., but they play a clip of RFK Jr. from deep in the past when RFK had written a book about the judge that fought George Wallace to desegregate.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And so they riff on this clip here a little bit.
alex jones
This is Robert F. Kennedy with his voice before he got paralyzed.
Here he is.
unidentified
There's a lot of people in Alabama, and George Wallace certainly is.
He's had a great effect on, I think, the entire South and on the civil rights movement in this country in general.
Truly a remarkable man.
This is the man that Griffin Bell wanted to have named, or Jimmy Carter did, as head of the FBI.
But because of ill health, he could not.
But he was the federal judge in Alabama, as you say, that had such an impact on not just Alabama, but the South.
That's right.
During the 60s, he integrated.
Every major institution in Alabama.
Because of the political structure down there, and really a politics that really involved George Wallace politics, it really involved a stance of defiance.
He was really forced to go in and actually take over institutions that in other places in the South were...
There was a certain amount of...
alex jones
So here he is at 24. I've watched the whole interview.
He seems pretty smart at 24, but extremely leftist.
jordan holmes
Do you mean against segregation?
Extremely leftist.
alex jones
I mean, he's just radiating a liberal version of William F. Buckley that makes you want to curl into a ball.
jordan holmes
Oh, my God.
owen benjamin
Well, he's radiating a vibe like he's just ready to just bang to me.
Like, I know guys like that that are just like...
He's just being like...
You know, handsome and tough and smooth.
alex jones
You're going with a Kennedy cliche that they're so promiscuous?
owen benjamin
Yeah, which is okay.
Like, again, I'm not coming from, like, a high horse.
I'm just a comic, man.
A lot of people will overthink me like I have an agenda, like I'm trying to take something down.
I'm just saying what I see.
I just see a guy that looks like he's pretty into banging, you know?
unidentified
Oh my God.
Ha ha ha.
jordan holmes
Now that's a Final Fantasy X laugh right there.
Ha!
Ha!
dan friesen
That was such a fake laugh it scared you.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that was intense.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, Owen had to explain to Alex that he's a comic and he was making a joke and then it freed Alex up to laugh.
But you saw before that...
Alex was like, oh, you're going with the cliche of the promiscuous Kennedy.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Oh, way to help the joke there.
jordan holmes
I was pretty sure he was negating the joke entirely by calling it a cliche.
dan friesen
Yes, yes.
That is how you want the person across the table from you to act.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shit joke, dude.
Okay, cool.
All right.
dan friesen
Hey, are you a hack?
jordan holmes
I'll hop to the next one.
Okay, all right.
4-22, you say?
dan friesen
So I watched that interview, and he does look like he wants to bang.
It is a fair observation on Owen's part.
Look, I hate Owen Benjamin, but...
jordan holmes
What are you going to say?
dan friesen
You're right, you're right.
jordan holmes
It's a cliche for a reason the Kennedys are wanting to bang all the time.
dan friesen
RFK Jr. in that interview did look smooth as hell.
jordan holmes
It is so...
It's so obvious and so telling that somebody just saying they're against segregation is extremely leftist.
It should tell you everything you need to know about the idea of like, oh no, they're good with the 18th fucking amendment or whatever, and they're not.
dan friesen
And let's be clear, there is no other context of the clip that they played.
That's really all you could take away from it.
And if you watch the interview, it is about this book that Kennedy had written about the guy who fought...
segregation.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And so if Alex did watch that entire interview, that's what it's about.
Yeah.
unidentified
So that's what he is calling like hyper leftist.
dan friesen
Yeah.
unidentified
And it makes sense because I mean like we've been over this a bit in the past, but like so many of Alex's ideological forefathers and the people who wrote the things that he is like, you know, heavily bases his worldview on were people who are associated with the And his governorship.
dan friesen
So, like, it makes sense.
jordan holmes
No, and the Civil Rights Movement was their real, burning, passionate hatred far beyond communism or whatever.
dan friesen
Well, the Civil Rights Movement was just communism.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
Wink, wink.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
So, um, look.
Alex had that big laugh.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
I mean, honestly, that hurt.
dan friesen
So that's when he knew it's comedy time.
And so, like, Owen Benjamin is saying that RFK looks like he wants to fuck.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Right?
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
And so here's where Alex goes with the riff.
jordan holmes
Robert fucking Jr.
dan friesen
No, it's not that good.
jordan holmes
Oh.
dan friesen
Or not that bad.
jordan holmes
Ooh.
owen benjamin
Which is fine!
You know, I've let through phases.
I've let through, like, if you look at me...
alex jones
Hey, luckily, I've never been into that, Benjamin.
Never.
unidentified
So...
owen benjamin
Good for you.
alex jones
Thank God, I'm actually a virgin, so I get it.
owen benjamin
Dude, you're keeping it all inside you.
You don't want to waste the male, the masculine force.
You don't want to spread the seed too thin.
alex jones
It's like General Ripper says, the precious bodily fluids.
owen benjamin
I think there is something to do that.
I think that's one reason why they flood everybody with porn.
I know this sounds a little crazy.
I'm getting a little distracted.
alex jones
Boxers don't want to do it a month before they might.
Exactly.
It spikes your testosterone.
I'm not a Kennedy, but I'm no stranger to women.
I'm happily married.
owen benjamin
You've done some banging, yeah.
alex jones
No, well, maybe in my mind.
But the point is...
owen benjamin
Everybody gets it.
Everybody's been through phases.
alex jones
Everybody's been through phases.
The point is...
dan friesen
What is happening?
jordan holmes
What the fuck was that?
dan friesen
So he decided first that his joke would be that he's never banged or something?
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
You know, like the Kennedy...
He's like, yeah, he looks like he wants to fuck.
That's never been a phase of mine.
jordan holmes
He's trying the facetiousness.
dan friesen
Great joke.
jordan holmes
Totally.
Crushed it.
dan friesen
And then, so it goes a little while, and then he's like, I gotta make a correction.
I have fucked.
jordan holmes
I can't let people believe for a second that I haven't fucked.
dan friesen
But then he doubles back on it again.
jordan holmes
Well, that's because it's funny to think that I haven't fucked.
dan friesen
But there was one moment that I thought was actually pretty smooth there.
And that is when Owen starts talking about his theories about pornography.
Alex kind of cuts him off.
And I think that is intentional because Alex knows that Owen Benjamin believes the Jews are giving everyone pornography to sublimate their aggression and bear-like tendencies.
jordan holmes
Worth it.
unidentified
Yep.
Yep.
jordan holmes
That's what they're doing.
Yep.
dan friesen
So, like I said, this is mostly about farming.
Sure.
Because Owen Benjamin's got that land out in Idaho where he grows crops and Alex fancies himself a country boy.
jordan holmes
I mean, I'd rather hear them talk about farming than Nazis.
dan friesen
Yeah, sure.
alex jones
You get high living in the country.
And so much of that's gone, though, because now it's like satellite TVs.
The country's not what it was, but growing up in East Texas, it was amazing.
owen benjamin
Bro, that's amazing.
Like, that's exactly it.
Like, what you just described is like my heaven.
You know, you don't get sad.
Like, depression and anxiety isn't really a natural human condition.
So if you're shoveling manure and you're growing stuff and your kids are running around, like you're so active that you don't get sad.
Because I felt...
alex jones
But you're in your...
I'm interrupting you.
I'm going to give you the 40-7, but you're right.
You're in an epigenetic thing that a thousand generations did.
owen benjamin
Yeah, yeah.
alex jones
You're supposed to do it.
You're supposed to have kids running around fighting while you're taking care of chickens and shoveling crap and, you know, shooting a wolf or hit it with a bow and arrow.
unidentified
Yeah, like they did 30,000 years ago.
owen benjamin
Yeah, and you see so much truth in it.
I don't know if one of your producers can find one of my videos I did.
Where I showed people exactly how they're controlled through goats, where you bring the goat in, you give it pornography, satellite TV, corn syrup, fluoride, whatever it is, and they put their face in and they're eating it, and then you put them in crippling debt, you know, you put the thing around their neck, and then you milk them, which is their future income, and then you, you know, you castrate them, you call them brave and beautiful if you don't want them procreating.
And I'm watching this, and I'm like, oh, it's just all farming.
And so it's really hard to trick or deceive the farming type, the rural type, and I think that's why they're so hated amongst the establishment.
jordan holmes
Totally!
alex jones
Did you know that, well, not just for Franklin, mainly Thomas Jefferson obsessed with farmers as the answer to tyranny?
owen benjamin
Yeah, absolutely, because it's impossible.
The farmer doesn't get as deceived as easily.
alex jones
Hold on, we'll come back in a second.
dan friesen
Can't trick a farmer.
jordan holmes
Oh my god.
If I'm a person, if I'm a con man, the one thing I want to hear is like, oh, my group of people is untrickable.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
Oh, yes, please.
Oh, you guys are impossible to trick.
There's no way I could possibly trick you.
dan friesen
Hello.
I'll just call you Mark.
jordan holmes
How much money do you have?
dan friesen
So, that goat thing makes no sense.
alex jones
Nope.
dan friesen
It's cute.
jordan holmes
It's just farming, Dan.
That's how we enslave people.
It's just farming.
dan friesen
Uh-huh.
I didn't hear any real reason to believe that I am the goat in what he was describing.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
But, fine.
I guess you can trick some people with that.
As long as they're not farmers, because farmers can't be tricked.
But here's really what I want to say.
There is a very serious issue with mental health in agricultural communities, rural areas.
According to an article from earlier this year in the New York Times, quote, the rate of suicide among farmers is three and a half times higher than among the general population, according to the National Rural Health Association.
Suicide rates in rural communities increased by 48 percent between 2000 to 2018, compared with 34 percent in urban.
There is a lot of depression and mental health issues that get ignored.
jordan holmes
And part of the reason that people...
People say that we don't have that in our communities because nobody is allowed to talk about it.
dan friesen
Yeah, there's a greater stigmatization or whatever.
He's pretending that, oh, you stay busy.
That is not true, and that is a toxic mentality that leads to greater severity and not dealing with the underlying issue that is there.
I don't know.
I think he's been fooled.
jordan holmes
Yeah, we should probably...
Here's what I think he should do.
He should watch more movies, and I guess there probably aren't enough.
More movies where there's like this kid on a farm who has big dreams, feels depressed all the time, their family is unwilling to accept them because they're different and they're talking about mental illness issues, and then they have to leave, right?
Imagine if he had seen that as a regular story that happened constantly.
Could be.
dan friesen
Might help.
So, farming has been very helpful for Owen Benjamin.
owen benjamin
Another thing that farming teaches you is that death isn't even scary.
Like, one of the biggest driving forces of modern insanity is this super fear of death.
And when you see a lot of death, you know that it's not the end, you know?
I don't know specifically what happens when you die, but I'm pretty comfortable with death at this point.
And it's not really that scary.
Like, animals die.
You eat them.
People die.
You know, they go on.
Their soul goes on.
And this place is a blessing.
And so when you live that way, when you live a more rural lifestyle, these Bloomberg types almost appear like the level of insanity is so nuts.
dan friesen
Yeah, man.
Totally.
jordan holmes
So nuts.
dan friesen
You know, I had the exact same response that you did.
The animals die, you eat them, people die.
jordan holmes
You eat them.
If you're gonna do it in that cadence, you have to do it.
And you're a comedian!
dan friesen
Yeah.
Oh my god.
jordan holmes
Ostensibly.
dan friesen
I get that you have a familiarity with things dying.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
And that maybe is interesting to you.
That, like, it doesn't shock you when you kill an animal.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Great.
Doesn't really have to do with your death.
I guess you have learned that object permanence is there.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And that when other people die, life goes on.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And that's great.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
That's cool.
jordan holmes
Well, but I mean, that's my problem, you know.
When I die, life goes on for other people.
unidentified
But not you.
jordan holmes
I'm worried about them.
dan friesen
But not you.
jordan holmes
I know, that's why it'd be great.
dan friesen
But yeah, you gotta go live on a farm.
And then you'll get over that.
jordan holmes
I don't like the out of doors.
dan friesen
Right, you sound like a Bloomberg type.
jordan holmes
I am a bit of a Bloomberg type.
My flowers are on the inside.
dan friesen
So, while you listen to this next clip, I'd like you to remember that Alex believes that certain books shouldn't be allowed in schools because they're going to scandalize children and what have you.
Here's Alex telling a little bit of a story from his past.
alex jones
Starting when I was 11, they put me, for like two months out of the summer, working for a major ranch next door to our ranch that we'd sold to decades before.
Big, nice ranch with black angus, you name it.
So I only worked there like two months, but at first it was really hot, it was crazy, 100-something degrees.
But I got, after I beat them, they're a month, because they had thousands of cattle.
And they were out open range, we also fed them.
Three or four days a week, 18 wheelers would pull up.
And it would be my job with a few other people, most of them a little 14, 15, 16, to get up there and to get all the feed off and then to go load it.
And I got to where, after a month of doing it, a couple of days a week, like I loved it when the trucks pulled in.
Gives me about two of them to climb in there and get it all out and do it.
I love when they say, go to this hay barn and grab all this hay and move it here.
This is a great story.
unidentified
This is a great story.
alex jones
Incredible work.
Learned so much.
Industrial level vet.
We're talking about taking cows to slaughterhouses.
Getting ready for that.
That was part of the job.
Artificial insemination.
It was just amazing.
And I'm telling you, I got to where 5 a.m., alarm clock goes off.
Grandma's cooking you breakfast.
Truck pulls by, picks you up.
6:30 a.m.
You're in a truck with a bunch of cowboys going out to dehorn 5,000 cattle.
And at the end of the day, you're not just paid that money.
They go, here's 500 bucks.
You did a good job on top of your money.
Now we're going to get whiskey.
And I'd be driving back and they'd be pulling off the whorehouses and I'd just go, don't take me home.
But I'm telling you, man, that's what Texas is all about.
And that culture just is not around anymore.
Owen Benjamin, you got any stories?
Top that.
dan friesen
I...
unidentified
Top that.
jordan holmes
I...
unidentified
I...
dan friesen
This is not a man who's on coke.
jordan holmes
Absolute.
Absolute incoherence.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Like, just crazy.
Ah!
dan friesen
I was put to work doing manual labor at 11, and then when I was 15, I was working with cowboys who took me to a whorehouse.
jordan holmes
Yep.
All right.
All right, man.
dan friesen
But, like, all right.
You know, you imagine Alex being able to understand, like, when he was 15, he wasn't an infant.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You know, and the resilience that you have when you're those ages.
You can handle maybe a book that's a little scandalous being in the library.
jordan holmes
Usually.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Usually.
dan friesen
Yeah.
I think Alex should reflect on that a little bit.
jordan holmes
When I did my childhood thing, I detasseled the Illinois summer job.
You walk the fields of corn and you detassel, right?
And yeah, I lasted about a week and a half before they fired me.
Because I wasn't looking at the ground, generally speaking.
I was walking the rows and just kind of looking around thinking, just looking around.
dan friesen
You're having big dreams.
jordan holmes
They had people following me and they were like, this is absurd.
This guy doesn't do anything on these.
And I was like, well, good call.
You are correct.
I am a person you should fire.
dan friesen
I had a paper route.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I worked at Dairy Queen when I was 15. Yeah.
That sucked.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I worked at a lumber yard when I was 15. Love that smell.
Oh, it was a good smell.
Quit after a couple weeks.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Not for me.
dan friesen
So Alex brought up inseminating animals.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
So Owen's got a little bit of a riff.
jordan holmes
We're going to go back to the JFK or RFK Jr. riff.
dan friesen
It's slight variance.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
Owen Benjamin, you got any stories?
Top that.
owen benjamin
No, those are pretty intense stories.
I know guys that are in that world, and it does look pretty amazing.
My world is a little more smaller scale.
Like, I have four cows, but I have seen them get artificially inseminated.
And it's so funny.
Like, my sperm guy, I call him my sperm guy, who comes by with, like, a truck filled with cow sperm.
And he's always super giggly, and it seems like he's not even, like, that into cows.
And I'm like...
Why do you do this job?
Like, you don't even seem that into cows.
And he just, like, giggles.
And I'm like, you're into the sperm.
alex jones
What's incredible about these rednecks is these are not the all-hat-no-cowl rednecks.
These people would work from 7 a.m. until nighttime like crazed maniacs.
It was, like, completely a macho.
You know what I'm talking about?
Like, that's what built America.
And most of these cowboys had, like, a gravel truck and, you know, a cement truck.
I mean, they're just maniacs.
owen benjamin
Yeah, they're the toughest guys I've ever known.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's not a conversation.
I stepped on Owen's great sperm guy joke.
jordan holmes
I mean, I think, one, there were at least four beats in a sperm guy story that he missed way terribly.
dan friesen
It does feel like that's from the act, maybe.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, no, there's gotta be, there's beats there.
dan friesen
Probably.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But you want to keep it clean for Alex's show.
jordan holmes
I suppose.
dan friesen
Maybe it gets a little bit raunchy when he does stand up on the compound.
jordan holmes
I mean, he already, he was like, oh, when the guy comes with my sperm, he didn't even, he just moved on.
Just moved on.
dan friesen
You don't want to spoon feed people.
You gotta let them get there themselves.
jordan holmes
I mean, with Alex, you gotta spoon feed them.
dan friesen
Well, or you just say the joke and then he's like, these people are not all had no cattle.
Completely off topic.
That's like, Starting in the middle of a conversation they weren't having.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no.
So Alex was continuing his story in his mind while Owen was talking.
dan friesen
Because he's on blow.
jordan holmes
And then when Owen stopped, he was like, okay, I can continue my story now.
Right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Sperm guy, sperm guy.
jordan holmes
I skipped over the part where you were talking.
That was in my brain.
dan friesen
Yeah, it didn't matter.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So apparently women.
jordan holmes
What about them?
dan friesen
Can't survive the collapse that's coming.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry?
What?
dan friesen
No, it's not going to be good.
jordan holmes
I'm going to be honest.
alex jones
But I was thinking about this during the break because a friend of mine just sent me a photo of a man opening his car door but leaning through the window to put his credit card in the computer.
Hey, we've all been here.
And people look at these videos and think they're fake.
They've gone out and interviewed the women, the media has.
I saw stories that they really put gasoline in plastic bags when a hurricane's coming to hold the gasoline.
Because they buy everything else in their life and put it in a plastic bag.
Well, this must be good, even though it eats through it in about 10 seconds.
And the video, the media went and interviewed the woman because they saw her license plate that was trying to charge the Tesla.
And she said, well, I just bought the car and I was tired that day.
Now I'm putting women down, it's just mainly that these are women doing this.
These are real videos.
A lot of men are like this too, but women particularly, on average, it's that part of the graph that's really high, do not understand how anything operates, but they're the most likely to believe in the system because they're disconnected from it.
So if a farmer is the closest to reality because they're having to make it or break it, or a rancher, or an oil field worker, Women's jobs mainly are not taking care of children.
It's just working in a corporate la-la land.
I'm not singling women out.
But how are they going to deal with the collapse of society?
Because to me, that's frightening.
Because it's hard to keep civilization going.
And if you even have a birth rate of 10-20% beneath replacement rate of 2.2, you have collapse.
Well, not just replacement rate has collapsed, Owen, but the general public.
I mean, I remember my dad's dad.
My other grandfather was...
I mean, it's not even...
I cannot imagine...
owen benjamin
Oh yeah, 100%.
dan friesen
Yeah, man.
jordan holmes
This is a little bit like if the Unabomber didn't have an education.
You know what I mean?
This is very much like the modern technology is evil!
But he doesn't understand any of what he's saying, you know?
dan friesen
I don't understand any of you.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
Exactly.
dan friesen
Yeah, it seems to be jumping around quite a bit.
Yeah.
Seems tangential.
A very, like, a concern for women.
And then his uncle, whatever, is making tin can squirrel dinners.
jordan holmes
You know, it is like a, just as we have, you know, just as they have a documented fetishization of movies for, like, the vision of the future, so they have a vision of movies for the past, you know?
Like, they don't remember, they don't know what the past was.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
They have no idea.
None!
They're just like, oh man, it was better then!
Shut the fuck up.
dan friesen
Well, and these images they have of people that they knew when they were younger, or something like with Alex, and it's like, yes, you were five, and your uncle looked really cool.
Like Superman, almost.
jordan holmes
That's because you were smaller than him.
You looked up real high.
dan friesen
Just like your dad was the smartest boy in Texas.
jordan holmes
Yeah, and I mean, I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say, even if you think it would be better in the past for you, it wouldn't be for everybody else.
dan friesen
Very, very...
Well, that's the thing that's so...
Great and convenient about the pseudo-Nazism that Alex and Owen subscribe to is they don't care about those other people who wouldn't be doing so well.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
That's an essential part of their ideology.
jordan holmes
It's a feature, not a bug.
dan friesen
Yep.
So we've one last clip here, and I would say that it's just Alex and Owen being really creepy about people who have a lot of kids.
owen benjamin
You know, I've had a lot of things that I was a little resentful for over the years, like being kicked out of my profession in Hollywood and a lot of betrayals and all that.
And looking back with some hindsight, it freed me up in a lot of ways.
Like, I would have been on the road all the time.
You know, you can make a good living doing it yourself just directly doing comedy for the people that want to hear it.
alex jones
You wouldn't be breeding like rabbits.
You wouldn't have half those kids.
You're like, instead of more money and a bunch of bars late at night and cigarette smoke, I've got all these great kids.
This is awesome.
owen benjamin
Yeah, I would have missed all those ovulation cycles.
Exactly.
And so, yeah, I think that that's what I would...
Because I don't know the exact answer, and you don't have to be a farmer.
Like, everybody has their craft or whatever they're good at.
alex jones
Because the biggest crop is men and women having children.
And you've got one hell of a crop now.
I'm a little bit envious right now.
owen benjamin
Yeah, no, I get envious of people with a lot of kids.
You know, I'm always just like, like I have friends with like eight kids and I'm like, and they'll like live in a trailer.
And I'm just like, I'm legitimately envious of them because I'm just like, that's where it's at.
dan friesen
You're weird.
jordan holmes
That's weird.
dan friesen
You're very weird.
jordan holmes
That's not okay.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I mean, it's okay for you to believe that, I guess.
dan friesen
I think it's okay to have a lot of kids if you want, and you can provide them with a decent life, and it's okay to, I guess, want more kids if you have kids.
I think it's weird to be jealous of people with a lot of kids.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's so strange.
dan friesen
Especially if you're Owen Benjamin and Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
I think one of the roots of my discomfort there is that children are things!
dan friesen
True.
jordan holmes
Children are things in this conversation, which is very strange to me.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And it's weird.
Like, I'm jealous of this family with all these kids.
It implies not that you want to make more kids, but you want to take those kids.
jordan holmes
Also, also, no.
No, no, no, no.
I refuse that idea entirely.
That is an achievable goal for you, sir.
You can downsize to a trailer and have more kids.
That is something you can do.
If you are envious, feel free to do it.
dan friesen
I don't think he was saying he was envious of the trailer part of it.
jordan holmes
I don't think so either.
dan friesen
No, he just wants more kids.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Which is also achievable, I suppose.
jordan holmes
Seems like it.
dan friesen
He's got ten acres.
jordan holmes
You can put kids...
I bet you could fill ten acres with, like, 5,000 kids.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I have no idea how big ten acres is.
dan friesen
No.
But also, I don't think kids are that big.
jordan holmes
That's a good point.
dan friesen
For a while.
jordan holmes
That's a good point.
Yeah, you could cram more kids than adults in there.
dan friesen
Yeah, it would diminish the amount you could fit into 10 acres over time.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, right.
unidentified
Hmm.
dan friesen
Yeah, I just think it's weird.
I don't think anything about wanting a large family or anything is that strange.
I don't agree with it myself, personally.
I wouldn't want it, but I don't necessarily look down on somebody.
But I found the articulation of it just real unsettling.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, it's...
Coming from us, two dudes with no children, you do what you do.
You're kid people, you know?
You've got kids.
You guys have different thoughts and feelings about kids.
And that's fine.
But just know that I think that a lot of the stuff you say is gross.
dan friesen
And a little weird.
And a little weird.
But the thing with Alex having four kids, and I think Owen has seven, I think.
jordan holmes
Jesus!
dan friesen
Yeah, or maybe six.
I don't know, somewhere up there.
But for Alex to be like, You know, you have a lovely family or whatever.
That's fine, but I'm almost jealous of you having more kids than me.
It's just weird.
jordan holmes
The way he said everything about it was weird.
unidentified
Just weird!
jordan holmes
Don't be on crack and tell me about my kids.
Don't do stimulants and then talk to me about my kids.
I feel like that's just fair.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's politeness.
dan friesen
Why didn't you talk to Daniel Estelin about whether or not you're jealous of the amount of kids he has?
jordan holmes
Totally.
That's our new first opening question.
How many kids you got?
Am I jealous or not?
dan friesen
Right.
What about the guy who showed up at Peter Hotez's house?
I'm jealous of his kids.
jordan holmes
That's a new segment.
dan friesen
Shit, stupid.
jordan holmes
Very stupid.
dan friesen
This is a dumb show.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I found it really interesting the way that these figures are coming back from the past.
Some of them, kind of understandably, like Daniel Estelin, it's like, well, why haven't you just had him around as is?
It makes sense.
He's a dumb fuck pseudo-expert that Alex can trot out.
That makes sense.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Owen Benjamin makes no sense.
This is unearned in terms of him coming back around.
There's no reason Alex would want to have him back unless he has a feeling that Owen has some fans that he would want to try and appeal to.
And if Alex knows what Owen's fans are into, then he's trying to specifically recruit folks who are...
So, this isn't good.
jordan holmes
Yeah, because you are not having...
I can't get outside my comic brain here, you know?
Like, you booked a comic.
They should be funny.
dan friesen
He tried.
jordan holmes
I know.
But that's clearly not what he's there for, because Alex can't even handle it.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
You know, like, even if he was funny, which he's definitely not.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Alex can't deal with funny.
Because he doesn't understand what's funny.
dan friesen
Did you hear that laugh?
He can handle funny.
unidentified
Oh my god.
jordan holmes
So it's like, why are you booking a comedian anyways?
Why would you ever book a comedian on that show?
I just don't understand it.
dan friesen
Well, then it's a comedian slash bigot.
jordan holmes
You know, also, I had that thought.
Like, you know how the Nazi cinema thing?
You know, everybody's like, hey, the Nazis had cinema.
You know, they had those...
dan friesen
Christian cinema?
jordan holmes
Do what?
dan friesen
Never mind.
unidentified
Oh, pfft.
jordan holmes
All right.
Nicely done.
Well done.
I register.
No, the, like, you know, the Lenny Riefenstahl films, like all that stuff.
There's no way that there were great Nazi comics.
That's not a thing that could have been.
You can't be a funny fascist.
I just don't think you can do it.
dan friesen
I agree that I don't feel like that could ever really work, but now I'm just like, I want to try and find if there were.
unidentified
I know!
dan friesen
Like, who was...
jordan holmes
Who was the number one Nazi clown?
dan friesen
Right.
No, not clown.
Because I think that could be done.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Clowning could be done.
jordan holmes
Clowning can be done for anybody.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
Clowning is for everyone.
Comedy.
Like monology.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like actual stand-up comedy.
dan friesen
I would be interested in seeing it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I bet it's not good.
Much like this.
So, we'll be back, Jordan, with another episode.
Maybe we'll see Owen Benjamin return to his rightful place as a fourth hour host in the future.
unidentified
Oh my god.
dan friesen
Whee!
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But until we check back in, we have a website.
jordan holmes
Indeed we do.
It's knowledgefight.com.
dan friesen
Yep, we're also on Twitter.
jordan holmes
We are on Twitter.
It's at knowledge underscore fight.
dan friesen
Yep, we'll be back.
But until then, I'm Neo, I'm Leo, I'm DZXClerks.
unidentified
bling bling bling bling bling bleep Woo, yeah!
Woo, yeah!
steve quayle
