Oh my goodness, look at that rabble in America.
alex jones
They own firearms.
It's so horrible.
We're already training them with constant brainwashing and cars to worship Britannia and to hate our ancestral enemies, the Frenchies.
Oh, the French.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are back live.
And now, for all of you Anglophiles out there.
Prepare for the pain.
The funny thing is we're trying to save the dumbed-down brutish people.
They are the attack dogs of the people that are soft-killing them.
And nothing against England.
I mean, I got a lot of English, you know, blood myself.
You know, one of my ancestors, Gresham, invented the stock exchange on record.
A British family came over on the Mayflower, both sides.
And the King of England is the sworn enemy of humanity.
He couldn't stand the Queen of England.
That's in mainline history books.
Because she was a nymphomaniac demanding sex up to 20 times a day.
Oh, you didn't know the Queen of England's husband was a Nazi?
You didn't know his cousin, the start of the Bilderberg Group was?
If you don't wake up and say no, you deserve to die.
And again, folks, I've got extensive British lineage.
So did George Washington, and he absolutely defeated the Transylvanian king.
They're not British.
They're not Scottish.
They're not Irish.
They're not Gaelic.
They're not Viking.
Prince Charles is the heir of Count Dracula.
It's mainstream news.
They act like the Queen doesn't run anything, folks.
She runs that whole country.
She shuts down roads in England every day randomly to exercise her power.
And everybody loved me doing the English accent.
You don't have a snot.
Shut up!
Do you hear that I have a snot nose?
I am Piers Morgan, my dear boy.
Go ahead now.
I do not breathe through my snoot, my proboscis, while I talk to you.
I'm sorry, go ahead.
Go ahead.
The show is called 8 Out of 10 Cats, and this is how our society is turning into a tyranny.
Everything is now a big joke.
The Queen of England has now joined with the United States and the West.
And so the Transylvanian Queen knows which way the wind is blowing and can see that Trump and America are winning.
Now she's coming in like the Deuce X, the hero that comes in at the last moment when the main hero is going to lose.
Queen Elizabeth with this action has now become the Han Solo Deuce X at the moment.
Live from the UK, it's Knowledge Fight.

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.
alex jones
Radio, Radio, Radio.
I need money.
unidentified
Andy in Kansas.
alex jones
It's time to pray.
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
I'm a first-time caller.
I'm a huge fan.
I love your world.
Knowledge Fight.
alex jones
Knowledge Fight.com.
I love you.
I love you.
Hey, everybody!
unidentified
And hello, Manchester!
And QED!
dan friesen
What is up?
Hey, I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple dudes who like to sit around to miss my cat Celine and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Oh, indeed we are, Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan?
jordan holmes
I have a quick question for you.
What's your bright spot today, bud?
dan friesen
Why don't you go first?
jordan holmes
My bright spot is DJ Danarchy.
We do not deserve him.
We do not deserve him.
He has made, just to let everybody know, he has made different versions of the theme song for each one of our shows.
And we don't deserve that.
unidentified
We just don't.
dan friesen
Danarchy is the best in the world, but they're not that different.
Like, one of them mentioned Scotland.
jordan holmes
Alright, okay.
Let's undercut DJ Danarchy right out the gate.
dan friesen
He heard that there were some people who said that the theme song wasn't long enough, and he took that to heart, and here we are.
Three minutes.
jordan holmes
A lot of people press the plus 30 button, and you only have to do that twice, right?
Normally.
You're going to have to do it a lot now.
It's going to be a long time pressing that button.
dan friesen
Carpal Tunnel, clicking the go forward just to get through the theme song.
But no, real talk.
Great job, Dan Arkey.
Big ups.
Incredible.
jordan holmes
What's your bright spot, buddy?
dan friesen
My bright spot is, you know, we're living out in the UK on this trip, and it's the land of novelty candy, or at least to me.
I guess it's normal to you all.
And it's great.
I've been having some great Haribo varieties that I have not been able to get in the US.
I've been enjoying a lot of Maltesers and...
What's that?
The Crunchy...
The Rocks?
The Crunchies?
The Rocks?
That honeycomb candy.
jordan holmes
The Crunchies the Rocks.
dan friesen
The Crunchies the Rocks!
jordan holmes
The Crunchies the Rocks!
That's my scream!
unidentified
That's something that somebody would lament.
jordan holmes
It was the Crunchies!
It was the Rocks!
unidentified
The end of the movie is me banging on a hospital door.
Let me out!
dan friesen
The Crunchies!
jordan holmes
I'm gonna start saying that and breaking it.
unidentified
Ah, the Crunchies.
jordan holmes
The Rocks.
alex jones
Oh god, the Crunchies.
dan friesen
It's almost like a call and response.
The Rocks!
I think jelly babies can go fly a kite, though.
I'm not a fan.
alex jones
Whoa.
unidentified
Whoa, controversy.
jordan holmes
Out the gate, controversial.
Big takes.
dan friesen
Lost the audience.
jordan holmes
Big takes coming from Dan.
dan friesen
I'm not a fan.
They're in the shape of babies.
That's weird.
I expect them to factor heavily into satanic conspiracy in the not-too-distant future.
We do.
They're kids, not babies.
There's a massive difference between them.
They've had a chance to live a little bit.
I don't know.
That's a good point.
Yeah, so I'm enjoying a lot of the candy and I think I'm gonna have some real trouble because I have eventually, you know, I'm gonna have to come down off this cloud.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You know, eventually I'm gonna have to go back to the U.S. and I'm gonna have the star candy.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I got into Manchester and immediately saw the sign.
That said American candy on a shop.
And I got furious because I'm like, I did not fly across the Atlantic for American candy.
And then it comes, does everyone know this?
Someone told me it's a well-known fact that that's like a tax shelter.
How the fuck does everybody know this?
Like nothing is done about it.
jordan holmes
Corruption, man!
It goes all the way to the top!
dan friesen
And that is what our episode is about today.
unidentified
American candy!
Candy corruption must stop.
Willy Wonka is going down!
dan friesen
Yeah, so Jordan, today we have an episode to go over.
Interesting.
We are going to be talking about August 24th, 2009.
jordan holmes
What happened in 2009 again?
dan friesen
I was about to ask you that.
It's a fun game to see if you have any idea why that might be the date that we chose.
jordan holmes
August 26th, 2009.
dan friesen
Nope.
jordan holmes
Alright.
dan friesen
24th.
jordan holmes
August 24th, 2008.
dan friesen
I'm not sure it would make...
What day is it?
2009.
jordan holmes
2009.
dan friesen
The year is August 24th.
jordan holmes
The day, 2009.
I was maybe, let's see, I was like 22 at the time.
dan friesen
Happy birthday.
unidentified
So I was drinking.
dan friesen
Yep.
unidentified
That's what happened on August 24th, 2009.
Oh, okay.
jordan holmes
What is it about?
dan friesen
So at first glance, this might seem like a really strange date to choose.
Somewhat random.
But August 24th, 2009 was the 50th anniversary of possibly a momentous day in history.
That was the day that The Guardian took on the name that we know it by today, which is The Guardian.
jordan holmes
Oh!
unidentified
I thought you were going to say a different name!
The fucking Guardian!
dan friesen
So, that paper was founded in 1821, largely as a response to the aftermath of the Peterloo Massacre.
The economy was in shambles and people felt politically disenfranchised, demanding changes to Parliament to reflect their needs.
The demands they had were things like, we should be able to vote, which was pretty radical at that time, in the 1820s.
jordan holmes
It still is, honestly, in the United States at least.
dan friesen
On August 16, 1819, a large gathering took place here in Manchester where one of the speakers was a somewhat famous working-class radical named Henry Hunt, who would go on to later years to be elected to Parliament, where he was actually the first person in that body to ever propose letting women vote.
jordan holmes
He was killed shortly after.
Ripped limb from lip.
dan friesen
But he did that stuff in government in the 1830s, and he had some bad times to get through first.
Hunt was a particular target of the authorities because he believed that getting large groups of people together and collectively making a demand was a politically useful tactic.
So when he was set to speak at this 1819 rally, the magistrates in town were concerned that it would spark a riot.
The conditions that normal people were living in were desperate and Hunt was a notoriously good speaker, so this was a potential powder keg.
The authorities ultimately made a very bad decision and set about trying to arrest Hunt while he was on stage.
This was a crowd estimated to be at least around 50,000 people, and Hunt showed up at about 1 p.m.
The magistrates were watching from a nearby building, and when he got such a huge response when he took the stage, they realized that they should probably do something.
They got to act.
The crowd was so large and packed in that they decided that they needed to send in a fucking cavalry.
So they sent for horsemen, and in their rush to get to the site of the rally, one cop knocked over a lady named Ann Fildes, who was carrying her two-year-old son in her arms.
She survived, but the young kid William died.
jordan holmes
What, a cop murdered somebody?
dan friesen
First casualty.
He was not alone that day, though.
Thanks to the unnecessary chaos of trying to arrest Hunt and other radicals, at least 17 other people lost their lives, and hundreds were injured.
Some were trampled by the cavalry, one was killed in revenge the following day, and one guy named John Rhodes was stabbed in the head, and then his death was determined to have been from natural causes.
jordan holmes
I mean, it's fairly natural if you've got a knife in your head to die.
dan friesen
Cause effect.
Henry Hunt was arrested and charged with high treason and sedition.
He served his sentence, and when he got out, he got right back to his political causes, embodied by the slogan, quote, Equal laws, equal rights, annual parliaments, universal suffrage, and the ballot.
In many ways, you could look at this situation and see some parallels.
You could look at January 6th as like a watered-down Peterloo, and also it would be the exact opposite.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Evilloo!
dan friesen
Yeah, in the same way you could see Henry Hunt as kind of like an Alex Jones type, but with diametrically different political ideas.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Basically, they're similar in that you have a rally that's pretty big, and it goes bad, and there's a rousing political speaker there.
In the aftermath of the massacre, the government cracked down on radical working class and left-wing activity.
The six acts were passed, which were meant to limit any radical group in their ability to organize.
The Seditious Meetings Act made it so you needed government permission to hold any meeting with more than 50 people.
jordan holmes
That worked.
dan friesen
We're done.
We can't do it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Got us.
And any meeting also where you intended to deliberate about public grievances or any meeting where you, quote, were considering proposing or agreeing to any petition...
Complaint, remonstration, declaration, restitution, or address.
unidentified
How dare you speak to the wealthy fools!
dan friesen
Are you doing an Alex Jones impression from the intro drop?
jordan holmes
That was my best.
dan friesen
More relevant to our matter today is that the Newspaper and Stamp Duties Act, which made it way harder to put out any kind of publication unless you had a lot of money.
That act begins, quote, The act required fees on publishing and,
quote, I have only one thing to say to that.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
The Crunchies in the Rocks.
dan friesen
The Crunchies in the Rocks!
jordan holmes
The Crunchies in the Rocks, man.
dan friesen
You were basically automatically on probation if you were trying to publish something.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Rich people are great.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So in that environment, speech was a little chilled.
unidentified
Why?
dan friesen
And nonconformist publications were becoming rarer and rarer.
And then, on May 5th, 1821, what we know as The Guardian published their first issue, specifically in an attempt to provide a voice that was being eliminated from the public space.
unidentified
They had a lot of misspellings then, too, just in case you were wondering.
dan friesen
Also, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
They were founded and may have been a bit preferable to other publications at the time, but they were very hostile to the cause of people like Henry Hunt and other radicals.
They would be like an outlet that thought they were pretty liberal now, but they also thought the writers in Hollywood should stop striking.
Real working class voices condemned the paper at the time, so maybe people shouldn't be too surprised that they famously supported appeasing people who kept slaves.
So they started on May 5th, but why are we doing an episode about August 24th?
That seems weird.
jordan holmes
I swear it's August 26th.
dan friesen
And that's...
And it's because on August 24th, they changed their name to The Guardian.
Previously, it was called...
alex jones
London Guardian.
I remember articles in London Guardian like 15 years ago that...
London Guardian.
dan friesen
It was the Manchester Guardian.
unidentified
*laughter*
dan friesen
Previously, it was called the Manchester Guardian.
It's from here in Manchester and has never been called the London Guardian.
And yes, all of this introduction and this entire lead-up was an elaborate way to mock Alex for constantly calling it the London Guardian.
jordan holmes
Let's put that at 12 minutes for that punch.
It was worth every minute.
Worth every minute!
dan friesen
And now, from here on out...
The rest of the episode will have nothing to do with this.
unidentified
Nothing to do with it.
jordan holmes
We won't even bring up the Guardian again.
dan friesen
I doubt we will.
jordan holmes
I really don't think we will.
dan friesen
And if we do, we'll call it its honorific name.
jordan holmes
Yeah, London Guardian.
dan friesen
The sweet, sweet London Guardian.
So, Jordan, you ready to jump into this?
You want to hear the first clip?
jordan holmes
Yes, please!
dan friesen
You all ready to hear the first clip?
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
It sounds like it might be current day, but it is not.
This is from 2009.
alex jones
Also, it's finally getting attention out on the Internet.
I'm proud to say we broke it back on August 6th, and now people are finally noticing that a big international swine flu symposium with government officials that was held over the weekend in Washington, D.C., talks about quarantines, lockdowns of cities, mass graves.
Arresting citizens, the public schools if your child shows any signs of illness, taking them without asking you to a local FEMA center.
It's all in there.
And Paul Watson just got a new story up on PrisonPlanet.com.
Authorities prepare to cease kids during swine flu pandemic.
Yeah!
jordan holmes
So authorities are going to seize kids from their parents, I assume.
Not just like random kidnappings across the street.
dan friesen
He doesn't actually specify, but I would assume yes.
It's not just random kidnapping.
Yeah, so that sounds familiar, right?
jordan holmes
Swine flu.
Sometimes I get so very tired.
So very tired.
When are we not going to do this again?
Every ten years!
Ah, they're going to lock you in your homes and quarantine you!
dan friesen
Yeah, you know, it is really strange, though, that you have all of the same, like, essentially building block pieces of, you know, what happened in 2020.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's just, things went differently.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Alex was preparing to do exactly what he has been doing around COVID, but around swine flu then.
He saw the opportunity and things just didn't go that way.
jordan holmes
Right.
No, it was better in a sense for him because everybody didn't die of swine flu, which is nice.
And since we know how he treats diseases, he probably would have gotten swine flu more than four times.
dan friesen
That is true.
jordan holmes
That is true.
I mean, it was a good thing, but then you think about the COVID epidemic, and that was a good thing because he made a shit ton of money off of that because it never ended and isn't ended.
dan friesen
Sure.
I was wondering how it would go if things had gone differently in 2009 and, like, swine flu had become as large of a pandemic.
I feel like it couldn't have gone the same for him.
Were people more sane back then?
They wouldn't have picked up on it?
I can't imagine Dr. Marbles showing up in 2009.
jordan holmes
I'm going to throw this out at you.
You add an actual pandemic killing people and Obama in the White House, you get January 6th every day in 2010.
dan friesen
You might.
jordan holmes
Those Tea Party people would go apeshit.
dan friesen
Yeah, but I agree that there would be that kind of chaos.
But I wonder about these real niche weirdo specialists that Alex has on, you know?
They weren't around.
Or Rima Labo might have been with her laminated vaccine cards.
jordan holmes
Ooh, that would be fun.
I don't think you're going to be able to take over the country with those, though.
dan friesen
No, no.
So I'm going to tell you this right off the jump here.
Not a lot happens on this episode.
There's a lot to have fun with, but not a lot happens on this episode.
He's sort of ranting a bit about this swine flu fear that he has, but then I got very distracted because this commercial played, and I was like, oh, this is wonderful.
This is how he's making his money back then.
alex jones
This is Alex Jones.
Have you heard of the Millionaire Patriot?
Well, you should.
He has a free handgun and five days of firearms training waiting for you.
That's right.
You can attend five days of world-class gun training at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute and secure a 30-state concealed weapons permit, all for pennies on the dollar.
Plus, if you act fast, the Millionaire Patriot will give you a free Springfield Armory XV pistol in the caliber of your choice.
jordan holmes
It has to be illegal, right?
It has to be illegal.
dan friesen
Yeah, he's got a sweepstakes going to give you a cheap gun.
jordan holmes
You can't give people free guns.
I just feel like that's a rule.
dan friesen
I think, you know, state by state, maybe.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's fair.
dan friesen
It might be illegal.
jordan holmes
I mean, it doesn't get much more unregistered than the unnamed millionaire patriot gave you a free gun of the caliber of your choice.
dan friesen
Yeah, a murder investigation is going on.
Where'd they get the gun?
Oh, sir, it's the millionaire patriot.
jordan holmes
Where'd they get the gun?
Raffle.
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
dan friesen
I actually do know from looking into some stuff a ways back that there are some states that allow you to give away guns and raffles.
jordan holmes
That's insane.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
It is.
jordan holmes
God bless America!
dan friesen
I love that the Millionaire Patriot is a weird shadowy figure that I have no idea what he's up to.
He wants to give you a gun, which is great.
And Alex took the time to do the voiceover.
He doesn't do that often.
jordan holmes
I don't believe...
That he's a millionaire or a patriot.
unidentified
Whoa.
jordan holmes
I think this has to be a scam somehow.
dan friesen
You think this is like a who wants to marry a multi-millionaire situation?
jordan holmes
Did that guy have multi-millions?
dan friesen
Uh, like maybe by a thin technicality.
He had like a two million and one dollar.
Rip Rockwell!
Yep, I remember his name.
jordan holmes
Of course you do.
dan friesen
Married Darva Conger.
Then they got divorced.
jordan holmes
I wonder why.
dan friesen
I think it was actually an annulment, because she wanted to make it clear, I did not sleep with that guy.
That was a lot of fun.
jordan holmes
You didn't have enough multi in The Millionaire.
dan friesen
I do feel like that's when America broke.
I think that show, you can trace it all back.
It's all been downhill since.
Anyway, I like when Alex does the voiceover for the commercials.
That one, and there's the other commercial he has where he's like...
You want to get a house, you've got to look for home gain.
Look for the home gain gorilla.
And you know that it's high quality.
Like, what?
Looking for a gorilla mascot?
jordan holmes
I mean, you've got to look for the gorilla.
dan friesen
That's not how I'm going to buy a house.
jordan holmes
Then you know you've got high quality.
dan friesen
So there's a bit of teasing that goes on on this episode, the beginning here.
And Alex has a huge announcement that is going to rock the world.
But he can't just come out and say it.
We all know this.
jordan holmes
No, no, no, no, no.
dan friesen
Because humans are designed to hype.
jordan holmes
We are designed to hype.
dan friesen
Yes, yes.
And so we get a little bit of that here.
alex jones
I also have a Jesse Ventura interview I did last Wednesday, and it's already Monday, in Los Angeles.
Very interesting, very informative.
We're going to play at least part of that tomorrow as well.
So, that is coming up today.
In about an hour, I will announce the name of the new film and what it covers and what it goes over.
And then my guys will do a write-up on the film.
dan friesen
You could just hear the audience listening on the radio going, Holy shit!
alex jones
Holy shit!
dan friesen
We'll get the name of his new film.
unidentified
What?
dan friesen
There's a new film?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Very exciting.
This is 2009.
This is post-Endgame?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
What's the one that's post-Endgame?
dan friesen
Well, I mean, there was the Obama deception.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But that's not this.
unidentified
That's not this.
dan friesen
Obama deception had already come out in 2009.
jordan holmes
Well, he'd been deceiving us way before that.
dan friesen
Right.
unidentified
Two days into Obama being in office, Alex put out the Obama deception.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He got him!
dan friesen
Give the guy a chance!
unidentified
Nope.
dan friesen
So yeah, here's a new film coming out.
Very exciting.
It's terrible.
I've watched it.
I'm not going to ruin the tease and the excitement of him wanting to get the name, have people excited about the name, but yeah, it's bad.
We might cover it at some point.
jordan holmes
I was about to say, you've been so merciful up to this point.
dan friesen
I was this close to doing it, but it's visually unstimulating.
So yeah, you might notice Alex has a little low register.
unidentified
He's pretty slow.
dan friesen
That doesn't change.
jordan holmes
Nope.
alex jones
And why is that not a giant, complex, huge issue in and of itself?
unidentified
Oh.
alex jones
I am absolutely fired up right now.
I mean, what do you do?
You make films, the radio show suffers.
You focus on radio, the films suffer.
You focus on films and radio, then you've got your basic human resources crap to deal with constantly.
dan friesen
That's why you hire your dad.
alex jones
And everything else.
And I'm not a perfectionist.
I'm far from it.
I'm somebody that does launch operations.
It's just...
unidentified
I don't know.
alex jones
My plate is so full.
So full of information.
I have seven stacks of vital, off-the-charts news of such import it makes my head spin.
And my head is spinning.
dan friesen
Oh, it's spinning.
jordan holmes
All the articles are from the London Guardian by the way.
dan friesen
At least a few.
Yeah, that's the guy who's not doing well.
jordan holmes
He's fired up.
Which is good.
I don't believe him, which is bad.
dan friesen
You should see him before his coffee.
He's just...
jordan holmes
You get why he gets to amphetamines.
You get why he gets there.
You can't say I'm fired up more than once before you go...
Let's go!
dan friesen
Yeah.
You hire the wrong person or the right person.
And they take care of that problem.
That fired up problem for you.
So yeah, but I think he makes a decent point.
That is that if you focus too much on making these documentaries, you don't have time for the...
Just do anything.
You're on the air right now.
unidentified
What is this taking from?
jordan holmes
So if I focus on the films, then when I go onto radio...
I spend my entire show complaining about how I have to do films.
dan friesen
Right.
I'm fired up and sleepy.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that makes sense.
And I hate human resources.
unidentified
Crap!
dan friesen
Yeah.
It is annoying work a lot of the time.
A lot of paperwork.
You have to scold people who do wrong.
Alex doesn't want to do that.
He's a party boy.
He likes to hang out and have a good time.
Talk about the globalists.
Y 'all aren't ready for this next clip.
I'm just going to tell you that right off the bat.
jordan holmes
Never were.
dan friesen
I could sit here and tease this for half an hour.
It would still land so hard.
This might be part of justifying why I decided to do this episode.
Oh, boy.
unidentified
The old familiar sting.
Try to kill it all away.
But I remember everything.
What have I become?
alex jones
My sweetest friend.
unidentified
My sweetest friend.
Everyone I know goes away in the end.
alex jones
All right.
unidentified
And you could have it all.
alex jones
The empire of dirt.
unidentified
My empire of dirt.
alex jones
I will let you in.
unidentified
I will let you down.
I will make you out.
alex jones
Look, let's just do this.
I've thrown out the news.
You know Obama is headed towards 40 points.
He's at 41 right now, which has never before been seen eight months into a presidency.
dan friesen
That was heavy.
jordan holmes
I like whenever...
It's fun whenever he talks over the clips, but I like whenever it feels like he's giving the line.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
He got that one wrong.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I know, but he's like, Johnny, Johnny.
Next line.
Alright, come on, buddy.
It's great.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's almost like being a hype person, but in reverse.
It's making Johnny Cash your hype person.
Yeah, I think any time you got him singing along with Hurt, you know you're in a bad place.
jordan holmes
He's fired up, though.
Why would somebody who's so fired up sing along to Hurt?
dan friesen
This is like, you know, bottle of Jameson is empty, it's the end of the night.
Not, it's noon and you're on air.
jordan holmes
That's just not a noon song.
It's just not a noon song.
dan friesen
Although it is the kind of song you experience like Alex is experiencing it and then say, fuck it, I'm not doing my job.
jordan holmes
I'm not doing my job.
dan friesen
Throwing out the news.
I don't even care anymore.
So at this point, Obama's approval ratings were about the same as ever.
In the high teens for Republicans, around 50-50 for independents, and in the high 80s for Democrats.
The overall numbers were a slip from the highs of the early 2009, you know, when he just got into office.
There was little to judge approval ratings on.
So, you know, as a president, everyone's like, hooray!
In January, the GOP had approval ratings around 40% for Obama, and the independents were at about 60% or so.
But their real feelings started to come through over time, and that number dropped.
As for the Democrats, there was a slip, but it was a difference between like 88% and 84% compared to 41% and 16% for the Republicans.
jordan holmes
That's a pretty big difference.
I wonder what could have changed all of those people's minds.
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
Can't think of anything about a president at that time.
dan friesen
Nope.
Benghazi!
unidentified
Benghazi!
dan friesen
It's not going away!
Charlie Daniels.
Rest in peace.
Eh, maybe.
Through his presidency, Obama's approval rating among the GOP never really got above 20% and spent most of the time under 10%.
Now, this wasn't all because the right wing is filled with racists and crypto-racists, but it's a factor.
It's a piece of it.
jordan holmes
If we were eating a pizza, I would have a pizza and you would have a slice.
dan friesen
So we know that Alex is fired up.
unidentified
Super.
dan friesen
Yeah, he's listening to her.
He's decided to throw out the news.
I will throw the news.
unidentified
I will make you bored.
dan friesen
So Alex decides to expand a little bit on his feelings of being fired up.
alex jones
And I guess that's why I'm so frustrated.
Not in a bad way, not in a good way.
It's just frustrated.
It's burning.
I'm burning with something past desire.
I'm seized by it.
It's past disgust.
It's past anger.
It's indescribable.
I am completely overwhelmed from the tips of my...
Fingers to the depths of my guts, from the recesses of my brain to the tips of my toes, with wonderment that government is so outrageously corrupt, so outrageously evil, so outrageously kleptocratic.
And larcenous.
I mean...
dan friesen
It's larcenous.
jordan holmes
It's larcenous.
dan friesen
This is filling time right here, my man.
This is a...
jordan holmes
This is a lino level of adjective usage.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Too much?
dan friesen
Yeah, thesaurus style.
jordan holmes
From the tips of my fingers to the depths of my guts.
dan friesen
Right in them guts.
jordan holmes
Is it very strange?
dan friesen
This could be this far apart.
That's not very far.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it doesn't feel that far away at all.
dan friesen
My fingertips are touching my stomach.
jordan holmes
Now, but does he suggest that you have to unravel your entire intestine?
Because that's a big distance.
dan friesen
Or do you cut off your fingers and send them to space?
jordan holmes
Or do you cut them off and eat them?
Then they're right there.
dan friesen
Then it's a negative distance.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
We've got to consult a scientist.
What then?
Yeah, but he's fired up.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's being held by his amazement at the passion of how incensed he is about government corruption.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he's beyond disgusting.
dan friesen
Because Obama has approval ratings that are like at 40. Yeah, because it's corrupt.
jordan holmes
It's kleptocratic.
It's larcenous.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
It steals things.
It thieveries.
It burgles.
It takes.
It misappropriates.
It breaks your leg.
That's all I got.
dan friesen
Nailed the landing.
unidentified
Thank you.
dan friesen
So Alex gets a little bit contemplative about the great journalistic work he's done in his career.
And the example that he brings up here is actually something that he was wrong about, which is very funny how confident he is about this.
alex jones
You know, coming up later in the last hour of I Have Time, we actually broke this eight years ago on my local TV show.
I was sent videos by people inside CNN.
And that's where this video comes from.
And then four years ago, there's a Prison Planet article on it, and a year ago on it.
I just point that out because people keep emailing me saying, have you seen this?
Have you seen this video of fake CNN broadcast at the start of the Gulf War inside a sound studio with a blue screen without the blue screen, chroma key turned on, with them staging and saying that Sarin Scud missiles have been launched?
Yes.
We broke it.
We know about it.
dan friesen
He broke it.
jordan holmes
Did he break the missiles?
dan friesen
No.
But he broke this story because this is a fucking serious journalistic outlet.
They're ahead of the news.
Scud missiles.
He was wrong about that.
They weren't fake shots or anything.
But this is that thing that Alex brings up when he tries to justify his argument that Anderson Cooper's nose disappeared in the Sandy Hook interview.
He's like, I know blue screen when I see it.
They fake that.
Coverage in Iraq.
jordan holmes
Which they also didn't fake.
So they have faked nothing and he's claimed fakery.
dan friesen
Now what's great about a clip like this...
Is that he's talking about how he broke that story.
He can't even now, in hindsight, be like, hey, someone else got that wrong and maybe I just passed along some bad information.
No, that's you.
You did that.
jordan holmes
Taking responsibility is a bad idea for him.
dan friesen
It feels good in 2009, though.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's true.
That is true.
I appreciate that this show, up to this point, has seemed very whiny.
dan friesen
That won't change.
jordan holmes
It's bad, but I kind of wish more More news anchors should just whine for a day.
unidentified
You know, just like, I don't even fucking want to be here.
dan friesen
I think if that were the standard, our world would be very interesting.
jordan holmes
It would.
dan friesen
If every news outlet was just like...
jordan holmes
I don't know.
dan friesen
Outbursts.
jordan holmes
We're throwing away the news today!
dan friesen
Yeah.
unidentified
What?
Put on Hurt.
jordan holmes
Wolf Blitzer.
dan friesen
I'm in a mood.
Someone put on the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
But I think it's really funny, too, that in some ways there's a snake eating its own tail situation with this clip.
Because it's such a justification for Alex's shit with the Sandy Hook stuff that ended up costing him $1.5 billion.
And then here he is in the past starting the time loop.
He did this to himself.
Fucking fascinating.
jordan holmes
It is very strange.
All of this is very strange.
dan friesen
It is.
Quiet.
So, Jordan.
jordan holmes
Are we hyping again?
dan friesen
Oh, man.
So hyped.
Except this time it is kind of hyped.
His blood pressure does go up a little bit.
But then he says some really stupid...
jordan holmes
Does he whine about it?
dan friesen
He whines about something that maybe an adult should be above.
alex jones
That's the trick of evil, is that people think it gets them ahead.
They think they get away with something.
You don't get anything but hell and death out of evil.
And I'm not on some preacher high horse here, ladies and gentlemen.
I got a big, fat, evil streak right down the middle of my back.
unidentified
That's why I can see this stuff.
alex jones
But I got a lot bigger stripe right down my soul of love and liberty and sweetness and goodness.
dan friesen
Sweetness.
alex jones
And I just can't stand it anymore.
I can't stand it anymore.
Just coming on the show with sponsors and giggling and taking calls and having fun almost does the job for the enemy.
Just kind of calmly talking about all this, like it's no big deal.
And I'm so sick of people.
I mean, I notice that the same COINTELPRO people will be in hundreds of YouTube videos under different fake accounts that are designed to look like real accounts saying the same thing under different names.
And I just think about those idiots getting corporate money and government money and Pentagon money on record to attack me.
Don't you jackasses get it that this is real and this isn't a joke?
The joke is, I don't care if you make stuff up and try to put doubts in people's minds about me and do all the little talking points you follow.
dan friesen
Thanks for your permission.
I guess YouTube comments are Cointelpro.
jordan holmes
It's interesting that Cointelpro has fallen that far.
unidentified
Y 'all used to murder Fred Hampton and shit.
dan friesen
Low-rent efforts.
It's impossible that people would just not like me and post disapproving things on my YouTube.
jordan holmes
To think about what he's really saying is that there are these people who've spent their entire lives in like...
Borderline clandestine activities, right?
And then they were like, okay, use all of that experience and write like, you suck!
unidentified
First!
Yeah.
jordan holmes
This guy is, you know, like, you can do more than that.
dan friesen
Alex is just trying to get you to give money to the millionaire patriot.
Yeah, these comments are cointel pro.
jordan holmes
Interesting.
dan friesen
Yeah, I think he probably, I mean, I wish, let me take that back.
I don't wish.
But I think it would be interesting to live inside the head that legitimately thinks any kind of negative thing is a plot against you.
It's got to be freeing.
jordan holmes
There's a lot of people plotting against me, I'll tell you that right now.
dan friesen
Oh yeah?
Other than me, who is it?
jordan holmes
I mean, it's mainly a bunch of different hues that live inside my head.
dan friesen
Ah, yes, okay.
And your dogs are up to no good.
jordan holmes
Don't you dare speak ill of Fanny and Jake.
dan friesen
I don't know, Jake was saying some shit the last time I was over.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's true.
That's true.
He does have an evil streak in him.
Longer than you can imagine, which is why he understands things.
But the good stripe.
unidentified
The fruit stripe of goodness.
jordan holmes
That delicious gum of saviors.
dan friesen
I applaud you not going with red stripe.
That would have been more on brand.
jordan holmes
No, yeah.
I mean, what do you want?
You want me to talk about booze all the time?
dan friesen
So we have some big breaking news that happens in the middle of this show.
And this is very exciting because this is news that Alex predicted.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
And so this is like Alex Jones being ahead of the news while it's happening, while it's breaking.
Oh, just so exciting.
alex jones
I mean, I've still got people running around saying I'm lying about FEMA.
My God, I understand all their information.
I told you Madoff would die of cancer months ago on air.
We don't have the staff to find that.
He just walked in with Reuters, Madoff dying of cancer, fellow inmates saying, see?
I just understand everything.
I understand everything they're doing.
You understand the torture of this?
Knowing everything they're going to do, how they're going to do it, how their tricks work.
And I'm not saying I'm smart.
I don't understand how I know everything they're going to do.
Did you not hear me over and over again say Madoff would soon die of cancer?
I said, over and over again, and we need to just hire an employee who just marks down my predictions.
Ow, man, I almost broke my hand earlier when I was slamming it.
I just can't do it anymore.
dan friesen
Can't do it anymore?
jordan holmes
Can't do it anymore.
That was a rollercoaster.
alex jones
Play hurt again.
jordan holmes
That was a rollercoaster of emotion.
dan friesen
Now he's fired up.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Everybody's lying about me!
I don't care anymore.
unidentified
I can't do this.
jordan holmes
I just want to go home.
And that's why I'm angry!
And it's not coke.
dan friesen
It's wild that this is at a period of time where I'm like, I don't actually think he's on stimulants.
I just think this is him.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's possible.
dan friesen
Now, definitely cocaine.
But back then, just being a wild dude.
So you might notice there's a story that happens.
He's talking about something else and there's that pause.
And someone has come in to bring him a story from Reuters.
And that underlying story is about Bernie Madoff dying of cancer.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Which he didn't do.
alex jones
Wait.
jordan holmes
Bernie Madoff didn't die of cancer?
dan friesen
No.
But so the underlying story that is brought in, that Alex thinks that this proves that his prediction was correct, it's about other inmates alleging that Madoff has cancer.
This isn't the kind of proof that justifies that kind of outburst.
jordan holmes
Okay, now I have to...
Is Madoff dead?
Is he still alive?
dan friesen
He is.
He is dead.
unidentified
What?
jordan holmes
Oh, I thought you...
He is still alive.
unidentified
Holy shit.
dan friesen
I was answering your questions in order.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
Is he dead?
Is he alive?
Possibly.
jordan holmes
He is.
dan friesen
So he died of heart disease in 2021.
12 years after this amazing prediction that Alex didn't come true.
unidentified
That is a lot of confidence for a man to live another 12 years.
dan friesen
It's gotta be such a burden for Alex to be right about everything.
jordan holmes
He can't do it anymore.
Just knowing everything that's going to happen.
Being able to predict when people won't die.
dan friesen
Right.
And how long they won't die for.
jordan holmes
Yes, absolutely.
I promise you won't die.
dan friesen
Oh my god.
Bernie Madoff's got cancer.
He doesn't.
Put on Trent Reznor's version of Hurt.
jordan holmes
Yeah, we have to play a different version of Hurt for each individual tragedy.
dan friesen
So Alex, he's struggling with this news of Bernie Madoff not having cancer, but he thinks that he does in this moment.
And so he descends into a bit of a hole about how hard it is to be right all the time.
jordan holmes
It's so difficult.
dan friesen
And I'm just so glad he threw out the news.
I mean, just because otherwise we wouldn't get this kind of stuff.
alex jones
Madoff, same deal.
Either they're going to stage his death, or they gave him a quick act in cancer, or he was already dying of cancer, and he said, look, the 100 plus billion we've stolen and leveraged, let my family have it, I'll go ahead and go to jail with this cancer.
But I said on air repeatedly he would die of cancer or get cancer in the next six months, and I said that, what, three, four months ago?
I mean, I just can't.
It's torture.
It's torture knowing how they operate because I have to watch them get away with it with the gullible public.
And I have to have the mindless dumbed down people argue with me all day.
unidentified
*laughter*
alex jones
Bernard Madoff, convicted of swindling $65 billion, it's more like $100, through the biggest ever Ponzi scheme, has told fellow prison inmates that he is dying of cancer.
The New York Post reported on Monday.
dan friesen
So now it's interesting, because what Alex is doing there, in theory, is trusting the word of a guy who's doing 150 years in jail for fraud.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Which seems like an iffy choice.
So that's a person who has a lot of integrity.
You gotta believe him.
If the Post is reporting that Madoff is telling other prisoners that he has cancer, then it's just gotta be true.
jordan holmes
I mean, why would he lie now?
dan friesen
So on this same day, on August 24th, 2009, Reuters released an article with the headline, quote, Prisons Bureau says Madoff does not have cancer.
Alex probably missed that one.
Or better, it must have been proof of the cover-up that's going on.
Reuters is doing damage control because Alex saw through the bullshit.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's why after giving him the quick-acting cancer, Alex revealed that he had the quick-acting cancer, so they had to quickly...
Un-quick-ax the cancer.
dan friesen
Take it out.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
And then let him live for another 12 years until they gave him heart disease.
dan friesen
You could put a straw up to where you put the cancer in.
jordan holmes
That's smart.
See, I was thinking more like one of those cow things where you put your whole hand in there and you go...
You mean giving birth?
dan friesen
Is that animal husbandry?
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
Haven't you ever seen that people stick their hands in cows?
unidentified
I want to get off the subject as fast as possible.
jordan holmes
That's what I've got for you.
This is all my farm knowledge.
I know that sometimes people stick their hands into the guts of a cow.
dan friesen
I think you're talking about artificially inseminating a cow.
jordan holmes
I'm talking about all kinds of shit, man.
dan friesen
Let's talk about less types of shit.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
So yeah, Alex is wrong about this, and that is quite fun.
But it does lead to a little bit of a disturbing rant, which we will all partake in and enjoy.
This is unpleasant.
Eh, sort of.
I don't know.
Sometimes I forget exactly what some of these clips are, and it just says, this is a disturbing rant.
That could mean it's disturbing because it's actually disturbing, or it could just be like, this guy's not doing well.
So we'll see.
alex jones
I'm just so alive.
It's being conscious, being aware, being informed, trying to be informed.
The decision to not be deceived.
The decision to know what's going on in the world.
The decision to want to know the secrets of the universe.
The decision to be involved.
The decision to face your fear.
The decision setting your mind in motion.
It is by will alone that you set your mind in motion.
It's incredible.
But they train people to think it's cool to be mentally lazy and people get into being stupid, into wearing shutters on their eyes, blinders, into being mindless and into being selfish.
You are missing out on the most incredible adventure ever!
jordan holmes
Don't invite me next time.
alex jones
My life has been one amazing adventure.
unidentified
Oh boy.
And.
alex jones
I just ask God, how much more discernment am I going to be given?
I mean, this is like almost more than I can handle right now!
jordan holmes
The crunchies!
unidentified
The rocks!
How much more discernment can you give me, God?
What must I do?
dan friesen
Yeah, I think that I realized why I thought that was disturbing.
I think that became pretty clear.
Also, that's what I'm going to start doing whenever I invite people on a float trip.
Is just go, you are missing out on a great adventure!
If they don't want to come along with me and get drunk on a river.
jordan holmes
They would be.
dan friesen
Yeah, certainly.
So, Alex is a bit cocky.
And this is definitely not an uncommon thing for him to get a little cocky.
jordan holmes
No, I haven't seen that before.
dan friesen
But this is going back to The subject of that CNN footage that he thinks is fake.
jordan holmes
Green screen.
dan friesen
Yes, but actually he's wrong about it.
alex jones
In the last hour, I want to go over a whole host of issues, but also some CNN video clips of fake news and comparing how shoddy their fake news all CIA run was back in 1991 compared to now.
I mean, you watch it, it's glistening.
It is all just totally actor-driven.
So I want the public to become aware of this.
I know you're aware of it at an intellectual level, but let it really consciously sink in deep down.
Okay?
dan friesen
Okay?
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
This thing I'm wrong about?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Let it really sink in.
jordan holmes
What does it mean to let it really sink in?
dan friesen
Ah, good question.
jordan holmes
Like, how would you let it sink in?
dan friesen
Well, first I'm going to need to see your wallet.
jordan holmes
Alright.
dan friesen
Give it to me.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Now let that sink in.
unidentified
Damn!
jordan holmes
I feel like I should have seen that coming.
dan friesen
You're poor now.
I have taken all your money and given it to the Billionaire Patriot.
jordan holmes
For a free gun.
dan friesen
Nope.
A chance at a free gun.
unidentified
That's right.
jordan holmes
That's right.
I want to follow up on that.
Did anybody ever actually get that free gun?
dan friesen
I'm gonna guess not.
jordan holmes
I bet they didn't.
I bet these people...
Our dishonest actors.
dan friesen
I wouldn't be too surprised.
I think the thing is he was like the Millionaire Patriots running like a gun training thing, right?
unidentified
Right, right, right, right.
dan friesen
Yeah, okay.
All right.
We're on the same page.
So Alex gets really mad here about how he can't do interviews with folks because he just turns them all down.
Because he has too much integrity or something.
alex jones
The whole media, the whole culture is, the dominant corporate media is...
The false world pulled up over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
To paraphrase the Matrix.
That's why when the AP calls or Reuters calls or the Wall Street Journal calls, they call all the time, every week.
I go, no, I'm not doing the interview.
And they go, why?
And I go, because...
If this isn't a hit piece, then it won't be published.
And then they always call back Reuters, AP, Wall Street Journal, and they say, oh my gosh, this never happened to me before.
Yeah, it was a fair story, and they just said no.
Executives say no.
I've never had them come down and do this.
I go, yeah, they chose you because of your previous writing and your mindset and your worldview.
They don't even have to handle you.
They can look at your work.
They know your type.
You plug in.
The minute you get off their reservation, you do that five or six times, they're going to fire you.
But see, these smart-ass reporters never believe it until it happens to them.
And they start saying, well, why won't you let me come interview you?
Well, why won't you let...
Because I know it isn't going to get published.
Fine.
Come here.
Waste my time for a day.
And then you'll see I'm right.
I'm sick of it!
jordan holmes
I appreciate that he did kind of convince himself into taking the interviews at the end of that.
dan friesen
And really put himself in a position where he was going to be a great interview subject.
Yeah.
This is probably going to be...
Something that's going to get published.
He's not going to be screaming at him.
Screaming at the reporter about how nothing ever gets published and this is just going to be a hit piece.
Really fertile stuff for a reporter to work with.
jordan holmes
I like the idea of the executives coming down to the newsroom to a specific reporter and being like, you, you've been mean to Alex in the past, have you not?
alex jones
Alright.
dan friesen
You're the one that hit in here.
jordan holmes
You've got to write this.
We will not pay you anything extra.
dan friesen
It's a really good way to justify never having any stories about you to say like, well, I just refuse to cooperate because any that do exist will be hit pieces.
jordan holmes
It is a very convenient thing.
The reason you don't see any interviews with me, I don't take any interviews.
It's not that no one gives a fuck about me.
dan friesen
The AP Reuters, they're all calling me every day.
unidentified
Wall Street.
dan friesen
Yeah, I'm not sure about that.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I don't think so.
dan friesen
But here's the thing.
unidentified
What?
dan friesen
Newspaper editors.
jordan holmes
What about them?
dan friesen
They're spies.
jordan holmes
For Cointelpro?
dan friesen
Yeah, they're Cointelpro people putting YouTube comments.
No, they're all spies.
And Alex goes from there.
alex jones
Yes, you work for a major newspaper.
Your editor is a spook.
Your editor works for the Pentagon, for the offshore banks.
Got it?
The same people jacking your water supply with poisons.
It's the same reason you got a high voice and you can't even get aroused for your wife.
That's why.
They hit you with chemical weapons.
They mean business, pal!
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
This isn't a game, you understand?
unidentified
Not really.
alex jones
These people are going for everything.
They're ruthless.
They're far beyond driven.
They have absolutely no qualms about anything.
Because if you're going to be evil, why not go all the way?
That's their attitude.
Well, my attitude is if you're going to be good, why not go all the way?
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
So grow up!
And realize you're under attack by scientific dictatorship.
Okay, hold on.
I said I was going to talk about my film.
Your calls are coming up.
unidentified
Oh.
Wow.
Thank you.
alex jones
Okay, this documentary, and I know Watson's writing an article off this.
You don't have to use my exact words, Watson.
This needs to be a really good story you're doing.
We all multitask.
We even do our backside work right out here in the open as he writes a blurb for this this afternoon.
dan friesen
Yeah, you may have forgotten.
There's talk of a documentary that is still coming.
unidentified
I genuinely completely forgot about that.
dan friesen
How do you feel about learning that all newspaper editors are spies and they're involved in poisoning the water?
jordan holmes
I just feel like you've got to have...
unidentified
It seems too busy.
jordan holmes
It seems too busy.
If you've ever seen an editor of a newspaper at work, they're very busy people.
They don't have time to spy.
dan friesen
They have...
Deadlines.
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely!
dan friesen
Pretty strict ones.
jordan holmes
Who would be...
But, okay.
If you are hiring an editor to be a spook to poison the water supply, what paper do you go with?
dan friesen
London and Guardian.
jordan holmes
Obviously!
dan friesen
Obviously!
unidentified
It's an obvious choice.
dan friesen
That or Mad Magazine.
jordan holmes
Mad Magazine?
That's a good one.
dan friesen
Could be.
I don't know, like...
jordan holmes
I was gonna go with butts and thighs.
dan friesen
Butts and thighs?
No, but speaking of which, I have been scandalized on this trip to the United Kingdom by walking into stores and seeing stroke books.
Just, like, on the shelves.
jordan holmes
On the shelves!
dan friesen
I'm not judging.
I just...
It's different than back home.
jordan holmes
You know children could see that.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Just banish the thought.
So we got this documentary that Alex is teasing.
And I should say that I'll go ahead and reveal now.
The documentary is called Fall of the Republic.
And basically, we're going to get into in this next clip an explanation of what happened.
And what happened is that Alex rushed the Obama deception because he wanted to get it out while everyone was excited about the election.
And now he wants kind of a do-over.
So he's trying to be like, yeah, this is really the one.
alex jones
This is really the documentary.
jordan holmes
This is the double deception of Obama.
dan friesen
So here's him touching on that a tiny bit.
And giving what I can only describe as the best sales pitch ever.
alex jones
I made the Obama deception.
I did research for two or three months.
But then we made it really in a month and a half.
A rushed job.
Biggest film I ever made.
People think it's my best work.
Just because we didn't fret too much about it and just got it done.
Get her done, as they say.
This one I meant to put out quick.
I didn't.
I've spent...
I don't know.
Spent quite a few months.
I've already spent four months.
It'll be five months making it.
It's just the biggest budget of any documentary I've ever made.
We have conducted...
19 sit-down interviews where I put crews on airplanes.
jordan holmes
Wait.
unidentified
19. It's a lot.
alex jones
And there's probably 50 other interviews.
I mean, man on the street.
It's insane.
My problem with this film is I did so many interviews.
Let me tell you who's in it.
Gerald Salente.
dan friesen
Whoa.
jordan holmes
Oh, we got Salente.
alex jones
Alan Watt.
dan friesen
Whoa.
alex jones
Let me write all these out.
dan friesen
Yeah, you probably should.
jordan holmes
It's a real rush job, though.
dan friesen
Big names like this?
jordan holmes
You've got to write this out in advance.
dan friesen
You don't want to forget anybody.
You've got Gerald Salenti in there.
jordan holmes
I like that, but it's such a weird way of measuring how much work you've done.
I sent 19 crews on planes.
dan friesen
Yeah, to do interviews.
jordan holmes
Does it not count if they drove?
dan friesen
I wonder if some of them were by train.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I would like an accounting of this.
jordan holmes
I would very much like an invoice.
dan friesen
I have watched this documentary and they needn't send those 19. That was unnecessary.
I don't know if maybe it was before it would have been really easy for these people to just record themselves on their phones.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
But they could have.
Gerald Salenti is in it, my man.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
Oh, so exciting.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
And then Alan Watts.
Not Alan Watts.
Famous Buddhist.
Alan Watts, the...
Famous piece of shit.
I don't know how to describe him.
He's strange.
He's wrong about a lot of stuff.
Weird New World Order shit.
So, yeah, Alex rushed to the Obama deception and now it's just like, well...
jordan holmes
I can't believe that.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
No, I mean, going through his citations list.
dan friesen
It was better than for Endgame.
Sort of.
jordan holmes
The bar is low!
dan friesen
Yeah.
No, I will say, as we did do episodes covering the Obama Deception documentary, and I will say that it did feel rushed.
So on some level, it is nice to have clarification about that confirmation from Alex that he could have spent a little more time.
unidentified
Maybe.
alex jones
But you know what?
dan friesen
You gotta get it out there.
People aren't going to be talking about Obama a couple months later.
unidentified
This is when you've got to strike while the iron's hot.
jordan holmes
It is just revealing like, hey, we do not give a fuck if what we're saying is true.
It's got to be out by then.
The end.
dan friesen
Get it out the door.
You know what?
It would help him if he had a spy working there.
unidentified
An editor?
jordan holmes
First draft, last draft, get it out the door.
dan friesen
Yeah, so Alex talks a little bit more here about how he rushed the Obama deception.
alex jones
Let me tell you what the film is about.
unidentified
Obama?
alex jones
It is a companion to the Obama deception, and it's about Obama and his lies and the frauds and the deception, but the overall agenda he's trying to implement of eugenics, of a world government, of a bank of the world.
Of the cashless society.
Of the federalization of the states.
How they're bankrupting the states by design.
The film starts with the economic takeover.
How Obama's continuing that.
What his larger agenda is.
Cap and trade.
The eugenics.
John P. Holdren.
Jay Rockefeller.
It's all in there.
dan friesen
There's some words.
alex jones
And the problem is how to boil this down to two hours.
I'm trying to keep it at 120 minutes.
And it is an unprecedented film, unprecedented scope, unprecedented research.
I believe that it is going to rival or dwarf the Obama deception if you get it out to everybody.
But I'll tell you, research and work-wise, it is much better.
dan friesen
How is it possible he's going to outdo the Obama deception?
jordan holmes
I mean, that's a real insane thing for him to say.
dan friesen
It is, especially when he's describing the movie.
He's like...
It's about Obama and the deceptions.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
It's going to be as good as the movie that I've just said I didn't do as much work on.
dan friesen
I really winged that one.
jordan holmes
I worked extra hard on this one.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
And it will not be as good as the one that I shit out.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
In a month.
unidentified
Yeah.
Okay.
dan friesen
I'm sold.
jordan holmes
Good luck.
dan friesen
Did I tell you it has Gerald Salenti in it?
jordan holmes
I forgot, but now I'm excited.
dan friesen
The world's greatest trends forecaster.
Which is a thing.
jordan holmes
He forecasts trends.
dan friesen
Yes.
Beef will fall out of favor.
I just got a really funny image of Gerald Salenti sitting around just sort of like intuiting things from the universe.
No one will use pens anymore.
That is kind of what I think his newsletter is.
jordan holmes
I believe it.
dan friesen
I haven't read much of it.
So, look, this movie is going to come out.
And look, I'm not going to pull the rug later and say that it didn't come out.
jordan holmes
I was waiting for you to do that.
dan friesen
I realized that it was getting dangerously close to me, seeming like I was doing that kind of a setup.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
But no, it does come out.
But for now, it's gestating.
And by that, Alex seems to be wanting to talk about that kind of literally.
alex jones
Obama deception is great.
People should get it out to everybody.
But I mean, this film, it's like being pregnant.
I can't wait to see this baby.
When you're looking at your wife's stomach and you see the arm or leg moving around, you want to see that baby.
Can't wait to have it bouncing on your knee.
And we're definitely in labor here, ladies and gentlemen, on a biggin'.
This is going to be like a 12-pounder.
jordan holmes
Is it a fish or a boy?
alex jones
Let's see my other kids.
The Obama deception is like a 10-pounder.
My son was over 10 pounds.
That's rough on one when the first one's a 10-pounder.
dan friesen
Yikes.
alex jones
But the point is, this is a labor of love.
It is dynamic.
dan friesen
That is the point.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
What was it?
I think it's Day of the Dead, where she gets turned into a zombie, right?
And then gives birth to a zombie baby.
dan friesen
You mean the new Day of the Dead?
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That one?
dan friesen
The one where the...
unidentified
Where the baby is a zombie and it crawls out and is like, ah!
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Alex looking at somebody's stomach makes me feel like that's about to happen.
unidentified
It makes me think that he thinks that it's about to happen.
jordan holmes
He's looking at somebody's stomach move and he's like, I'm gonna eat that baby.
dan friesen
I gotta do it before it eats me.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's what you have to do.
It's a matter of survival.
dan friesen
So, one of the things I think about Alex that's so, like, fascinating is these turns of phrase.
Like, and just the way he describes things are fascinating.
Like, you know, not like we're, you know, it's in the oven or something.
Or, you know, like, we're working hard on this.
He's like, no, we're gonna give birth to this documentary.
It's a 12-pounder.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he finds a way.
dan friesen
There's a big baby.
jordan holmes
He finds a way to add creep to just about everything.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's disturbing.
Disturbing.
jordan holmes
I went out to get a soft drink.
It looks like pee, and I peed it.
unidentified
Why did you say any of this to me?
jordan holmes
Leave me alone!
dan friesen
Hey, look, I'm alive!
jordan holmes
Stop it!
dan friesen
With consciousness!
jordan holmes
No!
How much more discernment can you take?
dan friesen
Oh, don't resist the great adventure of getting...
Pregnant with a documentary with me.
jordan holmes
Who's the father?
dan friesen
That's a great question.
jordan holmes
I feel like Alex is the mother in this situation.
dan friesen
Of course.
It's an immaculate documentary conception.
jordan holmes
Isn't he always the father?
dan friesen
Yes.
Yes.
So in this next clip, Alex is...
I guess I would describe this as his mania, sort of swinging towards violence.
We've had a lot of the, like, I'm on fire, but it's just like, really, no, you're not.
Now he starts to get a little bit angry.
alex jones
Frankly, I'm so excited about it, but I'm running out of time.
I have to stay on deadlines, and I've got so much material, so much info, and my guys are burning out, but they want to work harder, and we're in here working hard for you.
You better know that we're forging you in the fires.
Of the Infowars command center.
A great sword, a great weapon against the new world order.
Forged in the flames of truth.
Laboring like Vulcan and Festus over the great war forge.
unidentified
Slamming the hammer down as sparks fly and sweat pours off my soul.
Ha ha ha!
jordan holmes
Sir, this is a library.
alex jones
We will grapple with the New World Order.
We will struggle.
We will win.
We will find the throat and tighten our sinuous hands around the neck.
jordan holmes
Don't do that.
alex jones
I am just seething with energy right now.
It's unbelievable!
Good thing I only had one cup of coffee this morning.
This is not coffee.
I am just...
Man, thank you, God, for all the blessings.
Thank you for giving me consciousness.
dan friesen
Thank you for making me real weird.
jordan holmes
Yeah, this is scattershot right now.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That was bonkers.
dan friesen
Yeah, and I mean, it's not like if you'd listen to all the surrounding stuff, it would make more sense.
jordan holmes
I didn't think so.
I don't think so.
dan friesen
Just a lot of weird shit about wanting a sword.
And then to choke a globalist?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
My sinewy hands around your neck.
alex jones
Why?
jordan holmes
Why?
I mean, the metaphor was not consistent.
dan friesen
No.
No, no, no.
See, that's why he should have been at a library.
Someone could have taught him about that.
jordan holmes
I just feel like if you've made a sword, you don't strangle a guy.
Like, I just feel like that makes sense.
You forged a sword and then you're going to strangle a guy?
At least try and get a free gun out of it.
dan friesen
Here's what's happened.
Run out of bullets on the free gun.
Your sword got lodged in somebody.
I hate it when that happens.
You've got to use your sinewy hands at a certain point.
jordan holmes
Who taught him the word sinews?
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
Somebody needs to take it back from him.
dan friesen
That would be fun.
If you could take words back.
If only.
Alex earlier was listening to Hurt.
And we got quite emotional.
And it is rare that we get a two-song episode.
But here we are.
It's time to rock out again.
unidentified
All our times have come.
Here but now they're coming.
Seasons don't feel the rebirth.
Nor do the wind, the sun, and the rain.
Me like that.
Come on, baby.
Don't feel the rebirth.
Baby, take my hand.
Don't feel the rebirth.
We'll be able to cry.
Don't feel the rebirth.
Baby, I'm the man.
Think of the globalists.
alex jones
They took all their gifts and used them for greed and power and to mutate and deform their fellow humans.
And in doing so, they committed crimes against themselves.
Crimes against their true design.
But some would argue that they were destined, from the foundation of the earth.
In this great creation.
unidentified
This moment in forever.
in which we all live for eternity.
Beautiful sound and fear Yes, the seasons don't fear the Reaper.
We will be like they are.
You'll be able to fly.
jordan holmes
See, that's different.
unidentified
Now he's in direct conversation with the song.
alex jones
Oh, we will be there!
dan friesen
We will be like them.
jordan holmes
Dead!
dan friesen
We'll be like they are.
They are dead.
jordan holmes
I'm struggling with the globalist crimes against themselves.
So the globalists have committed crimes against themselves and against their own plan.
What are those crimes?
dan friesen
Can't help you.
I've got no idea.
jordan holmes
Okay, so they're destined to commit these crimes.
dan friesen
Well, yes, there's predestination to probably their bad bloodlines or something like that.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
Okay, so why is an editor a spy?
dan friesen
Oh, because they're always poking in trying to look at your work.
unidentified
All right.
You know?
jordan holmes
I'm just saying.
dan friesen
If there is a position in a newspaper that is a spy, it's a fucking editor.
jordan holmes
Yeah, probably.
That sounds right.
dan friesen
You bring your work to them and they're like, you know.
jordan holmes
I can't disagree with you there.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
But!
jordan holmes
I'm saying, is your editor spying on himself?
dan friesen
Well, he's destined to.
jordan holmes
Exactly!
He's fighting against their own design!
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Weird.
So what are we doing talking about it?
Like, Alex, like, what is Alex thinking?
Like, ah, well, it's all gonna happen exactly the way it's supposed to.
dan friesen
I think he was just listening to the Blue Oyster Cult.
unidentified
Yeah.
And kind of...
jordan holmes
It's a pretty good song.
dan friesen
...started saying some words.
But you can tell a marked difference from the hurt to this.
jordan holmes
But it's a more upbeat kill yourself song.
That's true.
We're going to put a little zhuzh on this self-sacrifice.
dan friesen
There's a slight romanticism that you could be excused for saying.
Definitely.
Man.
Influential sketch, that one, huh?
unidentified
*laughter*
dan friesen
I gotta hide under the table.
jordan holmes
I have been shamed!
I have been shamed, sir!
unidentified
Oh!
Oh.
I don't know.
dan friesen
Sometimes you say incredibly obvious things so that it feels very...
No, I wasn't trying to be mean.
jordan holmes
No, I'm just kidding.
dan friesen
I'm saying people love that sketch.
In hindsight, we can look at it now and say that made a lot of difference.
jordan holmes
Oh, I thought you were pointing out that it wasn't very interesting of me to do.
dan friesen
No, I was making an uninteresting observation myself.
unidentified
All right.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
That's what happened.
jordan holmes
This whole thing is broken down.
dan friesen
Right.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So we can put it back together.
We need an editor.
unidentified
Is there a spy?
jordan holmes
Holy shit, they're under that.
They have been spying the whole goddamn...
Okay.
dan friesen
Oh, all right.
So we got actually only one more clip, unfortunately.
And it's Alex singing along to Go Go Godzilla!
jordan holmes
Three songs!
unidentified
No, it's not.
jordan holmes
That would have been a great closer.
That would have been a really great one.
dan friesen
Don't really know how to introduce this clip.
I said earlier before I played the clip of Alex...
Enjoying Hurt that I could hype it for quite a while.
Half an hour, I believe I said.
It would not disappoint.
This is the same sort of clip.
There are times when you listen to Infowars and you think, what the fuck is going on over there?
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, right, right.
dan friesen
And then there's times when I am listening to it, and I think, what the fuck is going on over there?
Like, I can tell you all about this, and you're like, oh, that's weird.
But for me, when I'm listening to it, having absorbed so much of this, to hear something and be like, this doesn't sit right.
This is unprofessional.
jordan holmes
I've about reached my breaking point.
dan friesen
No, no, not really.
I'm more fascinated by the level of unprofessionalism that's going on here.
So to give you a little bit of a brief context of where we're at, he's talking to some of his behind-the-scenes staff.
Yeah.
And so that's what's going on.
And I'm going to give you no other warning.
Enjoy one of the weirder things I've heard on the show.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
We need to matchmake for Nihard.
He broke up with his girlfriend about a year ago.
We need to give out Neihardt's email.
He's a good patriot and he's a good girl.
I'm serious.
What's your email?
Hartman, I'm going to get you a date right now.
All right.
Hartman will screen them for you.
So what's Hoosha's email?
Hartman at Infowars.com.
Any eligible ladies that want to go out on a date with this lovesick titan of liberty, Jaron Neihardt.
He's a good guy.
A little bashful.
Send those emails.
I'm just having some fun.
I'm serious, though.
He's so lovesick out there, and I was seeing his destiny to have children down the road.
So we need to make sure that happens.
I'm fulfilling your destiny, Nighard.
All the ladies send their emails.
What is it again?
Hartman at Infowars.com.
And then he'll give them to Jaron, who will shake when he reads them.
unidentified
Oh, my God.
alex jones
I can only handle so much intensity before my mind begins to melt and fail.
I am blasted by reality, the scope and breadth and depth of it.
Oh, the beautiful facets, the fractal design, the beauty.
I want to tell you about eFoodsDirect.com.
unidentified
I'm just...
jordan holmes
That's wild.
dan friesen
Nothing could just, like, what is happening?
You're trying to get your staff member laid so he can have children and fulfill his destiny, then you start saying all kinds of weird shit, then you pivot to a food ad.
unidentified
What?
What?
jordan holmes
Yeah, can you, like, I immediately see, like, a local broadcast news where they're like, oh, we're gonna go live to the person on the ground.
Oh, well, there's a car accident over here.
Hey, man.
You seem lonely.
Y 'all right?
Uh, there's a car accident and a...
No, come on.
You might need some.
You know what I'm saying?
It's on TV what we're saying right now.
alex jones
It's good.
dan friesen
Yeah, the anchor is trying to get the person who's doing remotes away.
jordan holmes
Hey, there's a pretty girl behind you.
What?
dan friesen
Talk to her.
Talk to her, bro.
alex jones
Bro, she doesn't have a ring on her finger.
unidentified
Go for it.
You must fulfill your destiny to have children.
jordan holmes
That's it.
That's the real problem.
dan friesen
You must reproduce.
jordan holmes
There's not enough you must fulfill your destiny going on in the local news these days.
dan friesen
That is true.
I mean, that's just an overwhelming moment.
unidentified
That is a...
dan friesen
Remarkable thing to have happened and for us to all have been able to enjoy.
And, I mean, there's no way it would have happened if the London Guardian had...
unidentified
Oh, man.
dan friesen
So, do you think it worked?
jordan holmes
Oh, my God.
Did you follow?
You did not.
There's no way.
Listen, I don't know.
I don't know what powers you have these days.
unidentified
So, I contacted Harmon.
jordan holmes
You've got his goddamn email address.
dan friesen
That's true.
I think he still does work there.
Harmon's one of those long-timers.
unidentified
Yeah?
dan friesen
He's been there quite a while.
Yeah, I bet it did work.
jordan holmes
I bet it did work.
dan friesen
I think it's a third party who they're trying to get laid.
There's Harmon who's gonna screen the emails.
jordan holmes
Oh my god.
dan friesen
And then this other guy.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's no good.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
That's really uncomfortable.
dan friesen
It's intrusive on the part of a boss.
On the other hand...
Shows he cares.
Too much.
jordan holmes
There's an arguability there.
dan friesen
I've done a lot of years in the service industry.
And I can't even, I can't imagine.
I'm working at Dairy Queen.
unidentified
We gotta get you laid.
jordan holmes
Come on!
dan friesen
Also, let me tell you about my packaged food company.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it is crazy.
There would be consequences for an employer who did that to you, but Alex can do it on the goddamn radio in front of the world!
dan friesen
I want to say that 2009 was a different time.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it wasn't.
dan friesen
Not really.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
I guess 2009 was a different time because he doesn't care about his employees as much anymore.
This wouldn't happen in 2023 because he's mad at the crew.
unidentified
You know what?
jordan holmes
I'm mad at the crew for not getting laid last night.
I set him up with all these people at the Texas Roadhouse.
dan friesen
Right.
I went out.
I brought mystery along to give him some tips.
Actually, crazy, that guy, Strauss, Neil Strauss, who wrote the game, he was going to write a book with Alex.
jordan holmes
There's just not enough guys.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
There's not enough guys.
dan friesen
I was making a joke about Alex hanging out with Mystery right now, and then I realized, pick up Artist.
He's right there.
He probably knows Mystery.
jordan holmes
He probably does.
unidentified
Wow.
We've just come to a real revelation about 2009.
Right.
jordan holmes
Finally.
dan friesen
I'm full of discernment.
Dear Lord, thank you for giving me the...
unidentified
Whatever.
dan friesen
So that, you know, brings us to the end of this here excursion.
I think we've learned a lot.
Yeah, you're right, we haven't.
jordan holmes
We've learned a few things.
We've learned a few things.
dan friesen
I told you, you know, before we came down, like, not a lot going on on this episode.
Just a lot of bullshit.
And I think I was right.
jordan holmes
You've established that, yeah.
dan friesen
So, until next time!
I'm Neo.
I'm Leo.
I'm DCX.
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
Hello, Alex.
unidentified
I'm a first-time caller.
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
