#867: Stern Vs. Jones

In #867: Stern Vs. Jones, Dan Friesen and Jordan Holmes dissect Howard Stern’s 2013 interview with Alex Jones, where Jones dodged direct questions—like his penis size, past drug use ("high on reality"), and Osama bin Laden’s staged death—using absurd deflection tactics. Stern exposed Jones’ evasive abortion stance (52% of Black abortions post-Roe) and mocked his nanotech "lobotomy" vaccine claims, forcing him to admit he wouldn’t deny polio vaccines for his kids. Jones later abandoned some theories, like the military nanotech tests, possibly due to declining profit or credibility. Stern’s relentless pushback contrasts with hosts like Rogan, who amplify Jones’ conspiracies without scrutiny, revealing how Jones prioritizes spectacle over substance.

Hello, Alex.
I'm a fishpin color.
We're here today and I love your room.
Knowledge fight.
alex jones
Knowledgefight.com.
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're Gabble Dudes.
Like, sit around, worship at the altar of Celine, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Oh, indeed we are.
dan friesen
Deion Jordan.
Dan Jordan.
jordan holmes
Quick question.
What's your bride spot, buddy?
dan friesen
My bright spot today, Jordan, is it is finally time to announce the book project, the home of this and for forthcoming deconstructive projects.
I have, so I don't want to tease too much.
Nope.
But obviously, Alex has another book that has just come out, The Great Awakening, that will need to be dealt with.
I told us, I told you, I told myself and I told the audience that we would never cover Reset Wars.
And I've decided to go back on that promise.
jordan holmes
Oh, my God.
dan friesen
There will be coverage of Reset Wars at this website.
Sure, sure.
And that website, Jordan, a lot of people have bought us fun URLs over the years.
There's, of course, fillyourhand.com was, I think, the first of the.
jordan holmes
I think so too, yeah.
dan friesen
But there have been a number of great URLs that redirect to knowledgefight.com.
And I appreciate everybody who has done that.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
But there is one URL that I thought was unattainable that I thought never would be able to be snatched up, but I have snatched it up and it was cheap.
$12 a year.
This was not an expensive.
That is cheap.
That is cheap.
AlexJonesisanIdiot.com is our website for this.
The great reset coverage is there, and you can enjoy it at your leisure.
It's long, too long.
Many have said.
jordan holmes
Who owned that URL?
And how does that work?
dan friesen
I don't think anyone did.
I think it was open.
jordan holmes
What does that even mean?
dan friesen
I think it was available.
jordan holmes
What does that mean?
dan friesen
That no one had AlexJonesisanIdiot.com.
jordan holmes
So then, is that a thing that can happen?
What do you do then?
Does everybody have to auction it?
Do you have to fight for it?
What is it?
dan friesen
I think demand was low.
jordan holmes
Or is it just literally like a company that just has them and you register and they have all the domains and stuff, right?
dan friesen
I mean, I don't know how it works either.
jordan holmes
Yeah, because I mean, now that I think about it in the back of my head, there's a part of me that's like, so it's like one company owns all the URLs.
dan friesen
Here's what.
jordan holmes
And then you go to their web, you go to their warehouse and you're like, oh, Alex Jones is an idiot.
It's still on the shelves.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
I've not researched this in any way, but here's what my guess is.
My guess is that all domain names are available, essentially.
Sure.
Except for the ones that are taken.
And so you use a service like GoDaddy, and it costs whatever amount a year to, like for their registration service or whatever.
You could conceivably maybe do it yourself, but it might cost you more than $12 in the process of doing it per year or something.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And so the reason that some are higher up than others, some are way more expensive is because someone's sitting on them.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
So, people have pre-registered these domain names because they want to make it so you have to get into a bidding war with them.
Like alexjones.com or something like that.
It's going to be prohibitively expensive.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
But AlexJones is an idiot.com, wide open.
jordan holmes
Apparently.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
You know why?
Too obvious.
dan friesen
Yeah, maybe it is.
But that's why it's a perfect URL for my purpose.
jordan holmes
It is.
It is.
dan friesen
It's confrontational.
jordan holmes
I mean, it's better than onthenose.com.
dan friesen
Let's see if that's available.
So I'm excited.
I hope people enjoy and have a good time.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
So what's your bright spot?
jordan holmes
My bright spot is this weekend, Banner Weekend for anime, not quite the Hulk.
dan friesen
David Banner.
jordan holmes
Netflix just released Blue Eye Samurai, which is fucking amazing.
If you like samurai movies, anything, anything.
If you even are okay with them, it is fucking awesome.
dan friesen
If you're tolerant of Titan.
jordan holmes
If you're tolerant of Samurai anything, this is awesome.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
No doubt, really, really well written.
The animation is so good.
It's just awesome.
And then finally, Attack on Titan ended.
dan friesen
Oh.
jordan holmes
It finally ended.
dan friesen
After Attack on Titan.
jordan holmes
After so many.
So the last season was about three years ago, and then they did two more seasons.
dan friesen
To give you an idea of how it's like Fast and Furious.
jordan holmes
It just won't go.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
It just won't stop.
And then it did.
It finally ended.
So it was great.
It was a good ending.
Okay.
Good for them.
dan friesen
How long has it been around?
Does it say General Hospital?
Days of Our Lives, Kevin?
jordan holmes
Oh, like probably a decade, something like that.
dan friesen
That's a good run.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Great run.
Yeah.
Yep.
And it was a good ending.
dan friesen
Attack on Titan is a name that I have nothing to attach to.
I have no, like, my brain is trying to find any specific I can think of.
Yeah.
I got nothing.
I'm thinking of like Titan AE, that movie.
jordan holmes
And I'll tell you this.
Do you know what's crazy about it?
The bad things, they're called Titans, right?
But they're not on Titan.
dan friesen
The planet.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Or the moon or whatever.
So it's not like you're attacking on, it's like an assault on a thing.
It's just kind of like a.
dan friesen
They are Titans.
It's an attack on them.
jordan holmes
Right.
Kind of.
dan friesen
It's a Taitanomaki.
unidentified
Something.
dan friesen
As the Greeks would put it.
jordan holmes
It's just a frustrating name.
I've always found it.
It's like a slant rhyme.
It's like close.
dan friesen
It doesn't help me put more details to the name.
So I'm still just as confused as ever.
jordan holmes
No, you're good.
dan friesen
So, Jordan, today we have an episode to go over.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And here's the sitch.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
Alex quit on our last episode.
jordan holmes
Oh, yes, he did.
dan friesen
On Thursday's episode, November 1st of last week, he quit like a little baby.
jordan holmes
Cried in a huff.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And then, so on Friday, he had a little video of him in his backyard.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry?
dan friesen
that played at the beginning of the show and then somebody else hosted it wasn't even hosting it It was just a video of some, like a couple people talking shit for most of the show.
And then Drew Hernandez, the baby reporter, took over towards the end of the show.
Ouch.
And just Alex rambling for a couple minutes in his backyard.
Like, this isn't good.
Then he did a show on Saturday.
jordan holmes
Was he wearing all of his clothes correctly?
Or was he wearing like shorts with big hearts on them?
dan friesen
Here's where things get interesting.
Only shot from the shoulder up.
Shoulders up.
No idea if he had pants on.
jordan holmes
So he's definitely outside the pool.
dan friesen
He could be.
Yeah.
So then on Saturday, he put out a special report, and he just called in and did a little bit on the phone on that.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Whereas the beginning of the show is all Viva Fry, who's the guy who does that podcast with Bobby Barnes.
He's another lawyer who's friends with Barnes.
And so he hosted interviewing somebody who was apparently writing a book on the 13 bloodlines of the Illuminati or something.
jordan holmes
I love those bloodlines.
dan friesen
But apparently she was live streaming Trump's trial or something like that.
And she's getting trouble, so that's why she's relevant.
I don't know.
unidentified
Probably.
dan friesen
Not interesting.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
And then the end of that episode, the last hour or so, is Joel Gilbert, the guy who got screwed by Alex on Thursday, the guy who made the documentary, quote-unquote, about Michelle Obama.
jordan holmes
Yeah, and then we didn't do the promo, so fuck it.
We're just not going to talk to him or reschedule him.
dan friesen
He shows up.
He's got a trailer.
He's got a promo.
He's got everything.
He, alone without Alex, does an entire presentation about this Michelle Obama film.
jordan holmes
I like that.
dan friesen
But none of that is really worthwhile to talk about.
None of that is going to be an episode.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
And so I delved back into the past.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
It's been a while since we've had a 2004 episode.
jordan holmes
It has.
dan friesen
And so I thought that would be perfect.
But unfortunately, in March 2004, there's a little bit of a lull in Alex's content.
And I ended up hitting like three or four episodes in a row.
They're like, there's nothing happening here.
And so that's a time suck that, you know, that ends up leading to a situation where Sunday is approaching us when we need to record.
And I got nothing.
What do we have to do?
jordan holmes
You know, the thought, I just had a thought, right?
You know what I find interesting is that when I look back over my time in the W years, so much time spent on what dumb thing did W say today.
We don't do any of that.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
You know, I find that fascinating to go back and just be like, that didn't even happen in our this in Alex's world?
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah, there is not really strategery in that kind of stuff.
jordan holmes
It's kind of fascinating how an entire world, I recall, is so obsessed with those kinds of things.
And then in Alex's world, it's just like not even there.
dan friesen
We might just not be on the right days yet.
I don't know if we have a full, like, we haven't gotten to the re-election yet.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's true.
dan friesen
You know, there's still a lot of bush left to go.
jordan holmes
And you never.
And you know what?
I don't remember what I, you know, because was he machine gunning those out?
You know, like, was that a factory, like, one every day?
He's got another idiotic thing.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
It felt like that, but maybe he only said like 10 stupid things.
dan friesen
Fool me once won't get fooled again.
jordan holmes
Was that what it was?
dan friesen
Oh, that was one of them.
That was something like that.
jordan holmes
Oh, my God.
dan friesen
Fool me once won't get fooled again.
I know it was a little bit more to that quote.
But anyway, I was thinking about some high-profile guests and stuff that we hadn't covered.
And I couldn't really come up with any off the top of my head that I would know where to find them.
And, you know, it's just, I just, what are we going to do?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And so I realized there's one thing we haven't covered.
And here's an out-of-context drop from that.
howard stern
Alex, are you over six inches?
alex jones
You know, I mean, I get the job done.
howard stern
Really?
dan friesen
Okay.
So in 2013, Alex was on Howard Stern.
And Howard Sturt asked him if his dick was over six inches.
jordan holmes
Right.
Right.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
That is a maddening answer.
alex jones
I get the job done.
jordan holmes
What does that mean?
dan friesen
So it's a surreal environment for Alex to be in.
But, you know, I think I knew, of course, I knew this happened.
Yeah.
But I think I felt like I don't want to cover this because, first of all, I don't know, I don't like Stern that much.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
I never was a big Stern guy growing up.
Sure.
And it just, it kind of felt dumb.
But I decided, hey, we have something to cover.
Here we go.
Why not dive in and see what Howard Stern and Alex Jones got up to?
jordan holmes
Roll them bones.
dan friesen
This was also, I should say, it's in 2013.
It is in the immediate time after Alex was on Piers Morgan and screamed at him.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And so that was when Alex was a hot commodity in the media.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And I believe, if I had to guess, based on the way this goes, Howard was interested in maybe him being part of a whack pack.
You know, like, we've got this crazy guy who yelled at Piers Morgan.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
dan friesen
This might be another interesting, insane person to add to our cadre.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
I gotcha.
So this may be like a recruitment interview as well.
dan friesen
Or at least a spectacle.
unidentified
Right.
Well, sure.
dan friesen
So we'll get down to business on this, Jordan.
But first, let's say hello to some new wonks.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's a great idea.
dan friesen
So first, Mandalf.
Thank you so much.
You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
Thank you.
Next, my name is JR. 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
Good old JR.
Next, happy first anniversary to my amazing wife, the future pirate queen of Lake Michigan.
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, Baron von Count Grishnikak Desaud and his faithful steed Poots the Cat.
Thank you so much.
You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
Thank you.
And Alex Jones is my emotional support demagogue.
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 we got a technocrat in the mix, Jordan.
So thank you so much to VHS, the pacifist lizard queen and her dog Woodstock the Tiny Love Festival.
Thank you so much.
You are now a technocrat.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
unidentified
Four stars.
alex jones
Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant.
Someone, sodomite, sent me a bucket of poop.
Daddy Sharp.
Bomb, Jarjar Binks has a Caribbean black accent.
unidentified
He's a loser, little, 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 got confused while reading that because Woodstock in Peanuts is not the dog.
jordan holmes
Not the dog.
dan friesen
Very specifically not the dog, but hangs out on the dog house.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
That's right.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Untangled each other.
jordan holmes
Totally accurate statement you have made.
dan friesen
So here is the beginning of Stern's interview with Alex and introduces him.
And of course, the context of this is that post-Piers Morgan thing.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And so Alex talks about how they desperately wanted to keep him off the show and all this.
howard stern
Alex Jones is a radio host.
He's on a lot of, I don't even know how many.
Alex, how many stations are you on?
alex jones
Around 150, Howard.
It's great to be here with you and Robin and the whole crew.
It's crazy to meet you.
You've been listening to you for more than 20 years.
howard stern
Well, great to have you on.
Because we saw you on Piers Morgan.
unidentified
And we really enjoyed it.
howard stern
We loved it.
I think it was the best Piers Morgan appearance I've ever seen.
alex jones
Well, folks liked it, and they said it was the highest ratings they've had in their entire two-year history.
But I ran into Piers Morgan in Houston a few weeks ago, and he said they're basically scared to have me back on.
howard stern
Why?
Why would they be scared of you?
alex jones
I guess they're afraid of ratings.
Well, he said on video, I actually caught it on video down in Houston.
He said, we don't want to give you that much attention.
And I'm like, no, no, no.
It's having controversy on your show that gave you attention and made it the number one story in the United States for a whole week, Piers.
dan friesen
So that's a fun way of putting it.
Like, I ran into Piers Morgan.
I just randomly ran into him.
jordan holmes
It was so weird.
I was at the store.
All right.
And then I went to go, well, because I hadn't put the corridor into the machine.
So I went to go look at that.
And who was across the street getting a new pair of shoes but Piers Morgan?
dan friesen
Or even more to the point that you're trying to express is like, me and Piers run in similar circles and we just happened to run into each other as opposed to Alex cornering him at an event Piers was doing and begging him to come back on the show.
alex jones
Yep.
unidentified
Hey, man, we can have a lot of fun.
dan friesen
We got a lot of ratings.
unidentified
It was good.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
It's a good way to put it when you're talking to Stern.
jordan holmes
We were there.
Yeah.
dan friesen
So Alex, he went to New York to do this interview with Piers Morgan.
jordan holmes
Right.
Is he in studio with Howard?
I only listen to Mr. Stern, please.
I don't know him.
dan friesen
I only listened to the audio of this, but Alex does say here in Austin at one point.
So I think that they're doing it remotely.
unidentified
Okay, okay.
dan friesen
Gotcha.
But he went to New York, and shit was crazy, man.
alex jones
Sure.
dan friesen
There were people all over the place following him.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
There is a paranoid, delusional fantasy that Alex expresses about his time in New York here.
howard stern
Yeah, I mean, you know, you have said that you were scared even to go to New York because you do have conspiracy theories and you were afraid they were plotting to kill you in New York, right?
Oh, no.
alex jones
Well, I mean, just to be honest, I mean, I've snuck into Bohemian Grove.
I've covered Skull and Bones.
I've covered military operations.
I've been arrested in New York for demonstrating things like that.
It was after, well, first, they wanted to drive me the five or six blocks and pick us up.
And I said, you know what?
I want to walk down to the CNN building.
And so they had cops in plain clothes that kept popping out.
I even caught some of them on video going, hey, Alex, where are you going?
You planning something?
And then when I left, they were following us.
And it looked like cops from the movie Goodfellows or something.
And then at our hotel, they were waiting for us.
And I said, you know what?
I think I'm going to get in a cab.
We're already flying out of New Jersey.
I said, let's just drive out, stay in New Jersey, and fly out the next morning.
So, yes, my spidey sense, which, I mean, I rarely get up and leave someplace, I had a bad feeling with a bunch of New York detectives following me around.
I got out of the city.
howard stern
Yeah, that's it.
And you live in Texas, and that's your thing.
Wait, you married a guy?
alex jones
Yes, I am.
howard stern
Yeah, and you got kids?
alex jones
Three of them.
dan friesen
So, Stern, you can tell, is kind of like, all right, let's move along this.
Maybe we'll touch back on this.
This interview is just nuts.
It makes no sense.
jordan holmes
No, I don't.
dan friesen
Except through the prism of Stern, like, being like, see if I can get some entertainment out of this guy.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it does seem that way.
And the way that Robin treats it is very fun.
I already appreciate just that.
Oh, no.
alex jones
They tried to kill you.
jordan holmes
They tried to kill me.
Oh, no.
Like, okay, yeah, all right, we get it.
dan friesen
All these detectives follow you.
jordan holmes
Nobody tried to kill you.
dan friesen
Fox News lured me.
jordan holmes
Detectives?
Detective.
Come on, man.
dan friesen
So the idea behind it is basically that Mike Bloomberg was trying to lure Alex to New York, basically.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
And I guess he's not.
jordan holmes
Now, that part makes sense.
dan friesen
He must have had Piers Morgan invite Alex to come on in order to put him in a place where he could be kettled and these detectives would entrap him or somehow.
jordan holmes
I'm just saying.
dan friesen
Snatch him up or kill him.
jordan holmes
That's beat cop shit.
You don't need a detective for that.
What is a detective even doing that?
dan friesen
They do a better job.
jordan holmes
Well, listen, nobody's arguing.
Nobody's arguing that fact.
dan friesen
Cleaner assassination methods.
jordan holmes
That is important.
That is important.
dan friesen
So Stern, he shifts over to your family stuff and then gets back to the murder you and Reggie.
jordan holmes
Okay, okay, okay.
dan friesen
And he gets Alex to waffle a little bit with a week.
howard stern
Don't you lose people with that?
Although, I mean, listen, you're a radio guy.
You've got to be a performer, too, and you've got to hold an audience.
If you keep upping the ante with, like, you know, like you said, Mayor Bloomberg probably hired the mafia or undercover cops to pose as crackheads to kill you while you're in New York City.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that makes sense.
howard stern
You know, during the Piers Morgan thing.
That's where you start to lose people because you're like, you know what I mean?
alex jones
Sure.
howard stern
Like, you could probably run for office or something if you didn't go after the really far out there conspiracy theory.
alex jones
Listen, Howard, I trod with you.
Hunting that that sounds crazy.
howard stern
Right.
alex jones
Okay.
howard stern
Right.
alex jones
Here's the deal.
It happened.
So I talked about it.
I've never put out something saying they're coming after us.
Look out.
This is going on.
I was sick when I went to New York, had the flu, was thrown up in the CNN bathroom.
That's why I described how dirty it was.
It was really disgusting to me sitting over a toilet with crap sprayed all over the wall.
Literally, not from me, other people.
I'm in this filthy bathroom throwing up.
I got to go out there.
I'm sweating.
I'm up there with Piers Morgan.
Actually, I wasn't putting on, you know, quote, an act.
I was pissed off.
I did blow up, but it actually worked out.
At first, people were all shocked by it, but then they said, wait a minute.
And of course, I heard Robin the day after talking about it.
Look, you should be mad.
That's being a real American.
They said it discredited me, but notice they haven't invited me back because they don't want America waking up out of its coma and getting upset.
But listen, getting back to the whole Bloomberg thing, that night before we left the hotel, it might have been a little panicked.
I might have even, in my own mind, exaggerated things.
Maybe not.
Sorry.
I caught some of this on tape.
In my own mind, my news director went with me.
I say, man, I feel like crap.
Maybe if I walk down the street, you know, because I'm sick, maybe I'll feel better when we get there.
So I'm walking the five, six blocks, and guys are popping out of doorways that are obviously cops going, hey, buddy, what's your planning?
You planning to do something.
I'm a big listener.
howard stern
You think that he was plotting against you?
alex jones
I'm just guessing because he runs the sitting and they look like detectives to me that I've seen around Bloomberg when I've been up in New York.
howard stern
Could they have been fighting people?
alex jones
Listen, the first time I thought, man, that guy probably is a cop.
It happened twice, three times.
They knew where I was at.
They obviously had the cell phone tracking systems that the police under Homeland Security can dial into and pinpoint exactly where you're at, just like your wife if she has your phone code.
howard stern
Alex, do you ever think that you were paranoid?
Seriously, because.
alex jones
No, listen, I caught it on tape.
That's the thing is that then I said, I said, I want to be let on the mall exit.
I don't want to be let out on the back door.
His guys are waiting out there.
And we walk out, and there's the guy turning, walking, talking to his sleeve, bumping into the wall, and two other guys are walking up like in a Goodfellas movie.
And I said, taxi and jumped in a cab and left.
All I know is.
howard stern
You think they wanted you out of New York?
Listen, I was arrested.
alex jones
It's on video in New York five years ago for nothing.
Okay, we were down there protesting at Fox News.
They had a live event.
howard stern
What were you protesting?
alex jones
We were protesting media propaganda.
The point is, I was protesting general Rivera.
jordan holmes
It's more general protest.
dan friesen
He was protesting Geraldo Rivera.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
I found that video.
I've watched it.
He was arrested, and it was for inciting people.
Like he had his bullhorn out and everything.
unidentified
Sure, sure, sure.
dan friesen
And it was a demonstration at a place that didn't have a permit to hold a rally.
So it was that.
There was a reason.
You can argue whether it's a good enough reason or not to detain him momentarily.
But yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So he was almost killed by these detectives.
I mean, you can't really argue with the way he's laying it out.
It sounds not like a paranoid person.
jordan holmes
No, no, no, no.
dan friesen
Sounds legit.
jordan holmes
It is weird to exist in the totality of Alex's career, you know, now where it's like, I know, we know what he sounded like in 2004.
Obviously, in 1999, we know what he sounded like.
That we're in 2013 all the way, all these years later, and it's still Howard Sear being like, Alex, do you sound paranoid?
You know, and it's like, you don't even fuck, we should all be doing something about this.
Not Howard being like, do you sound paranoid?
No.
dan friesen
Well, it's an interesting point because at this stage in 2013, the public awareness of Alex Jones would have been fairly minimal.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You know, he was well known within conspiracy and like, you know, pretty far right-wing media-ish circles.
But in terms of his penetration of like mainstream awareness, there was some 9-11 blips that he might have come to the surface with.
Sure.
There might have been some instances where his involvement with the Tea Party might have made him closer to relevant to people.
But like until he was on that Piers Morgan show, there was not really a ton of like, who is this guy?
He's a big, big name.
People were more interested in Glenn Beck, honestly.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's true.
Weird.
Weird times.
dan friesen
So it makes sense for Howard to have a little bit of a who is this kind of fucker fucker on here.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no.
dan friesen
Talking nonsense.
But yeah, he does sound a little paranoid, I think.
jordan holmes
What's Howard's plan here?
dan friesen
I don't think he has one.
jordan holmes
I mean, that's.
dan friesen
I think he wants to find out how big Alex's dick is.
jordan holmes
I mean, I feel like that's probably where we should go.
dan friesen
That comes up later in a part that I did not include where Alex is describing how he had sex at 12 and all that stuff.
All of his childhood dalliances that he does not believe to be traumatic.
Very, very traumatic.
jordan holmes
Fucking traumatic to me.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So the police were following Alex.
And then he admits that he might be overblowing all of this.
jordan holmes
Wow.
alex jones
Listen, my point is, I know when people are basically hunting you.
You know when a tiger is crawling on its front paws about to pounce on a gazelle or something.
Okay.
unidentified
No, that's no point.
alex jones
You know cops are on your butt planning something.
They had a look in their eyes like they were planning something.
You know the difference when cops have just got you staked out to see if you're planning something and the difference when they're acting really aggressive and bugging you.
They want to tear your head off.
And my instinct was, get the hell out of here.
howard stern
You think they don't want to?
unidentified
Now, do you think you're safe in Texas?
Is that why you broadcast from there?
alex jones
Listen, I go out.
I've snuck on military bases to cover urban warfare drills.
I snuck into Bohemian Grove.
I go out there without bodyguards and do all this stuff.
I'm not normally a timid person.
I've gone in.
I've gotten my Piers Morgan interview.
I had the flu.
So when you're dizzy and puking, do you feel like going to jail?
Are you in fear for your life?
Not generally.
I mean, I'm in fear for my life when I drive to work.
That's the most dangerous thing in this country is automobiles.
But listen, let's just be specific here.
I'm bold.
I'm the opposite of fearful.
I was off balance.
I was sick in New York.
I was going off pure adrenaline.
And that's why.
I mean, imagine, Howard, I'm sure before you've had an event or some big thing you've got to do.
You're a consummate professional.
Have you ever been sick before and had to go on air and were kind of an asshole?
howard stern
Many times.
I'm not kind of an asshole every day.
alex jones
I mean, when you're sick and have to perform, you tend to be almost even more focused than just.
howard stern
Yeah, it's funny.
Some of my best shows are when I'm really sick.
alex jones
Exactly.
So again, I mean, sure, I had the flu.
I had 102 fever.
I mean, did I overblow cops follow me around?
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Wait, what?
dan friesen
Did I make all this up because I have these excuses that I was sick and I had a fever?
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Of course I did.
jordan holmes
I just got to let him keep talking until he says, yes, of course I was lying to you.
Right.
dan friesen
And have a high status person like Howard Stern who won't let things go necessarily.
jordan holmes
No, and it was, it is basically, no, it's 100% Austin Powers like, oh, no, he asked you three times.
And at the third time, he's like, yeah, I made it all up.
Like, it's that simple.
If you just ask him, nobody ever follows up.
Nobody just asks him three times.
dan friesen
But it has to be like this environment is really unique in some ways because it's live, presumably.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
It is Howard Stern, who's somebody who's a giant celebrity.
And someone who Alex says multiple times, I've listened to you for years.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
So it's someone who Alex enjoys and likes.
And it's also somebody who has keen interviewing instincts and can tell when Alex is trying to dodge something and is willing to be like, nope, what are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
And yeah, that's a threatening position for Alex because you just end up saying, yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I made it up.
dan friesen
I overblew it in my head.
Yeah.
unidentified
I made it up.
dan friesen
Of course.
jordan holmes
I had a fever, and so I made it up.
dan friesen
And it's more fun to imagine that I'm being chased out of New York by Bloomberg-hired mafia undercover detective goons.
jordan holmes
Yeah, come on, man.
You know it's better for the brand.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So they talk a little bit about the turning the frogs gay thing.
It turns out the frogs are gay, Fisher bisexual, and Trimper becoming suicidal.
These are the talking points of the ocean.
All right.
And so they want to.
Stern and Robin want to touch on this and be like, you don't hate gay people, right?
Where are you on gay marriage?
alex jones
Wow.
jordan holmes
Man, great times to be alive.
howard stern
Are you in grave?
unidentified
How do you stand on gay marriage?
howard stern
Where are you on gay marriage?
I don't care about it.
alex jones
Well, listen, I'm a libertarian, so I think people should be able to do whatever they want.
howard stern
Yeah, right.
dan friesen
Good.
unidentified
What happened when this is not a homophobic thing?
howard stern
What happened when you went on the show, The View?
Was it a disaster?
I didn't see tape of that.
alex jones
No, it was great.
I mean, I took it over.
howard stern
Right.
alex jones
I mean, what's the point?
You know, they wanted to basically make fun of Charlie Sheen while I was on there.
howard stern
Is he your buddy?
alex jones
You know, I've known Charlie for about eight years.
I probably stayed at his house 15 times.
He's a really, really interesting fellow.
unidentified
And that I would say, yes.
alex jones
Is beyond even what people hear.
He's a really, really smart guy.
howard stern
So, like, when you go over Charlie's house because you become friendly, he's a fan of yours, right?
He buys into a lot of your theories.
alex jones
Sure, but I shouldn't have let the meltdown happen a year and a half ago on my show because it was first Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez that were listeners.
It was Emilio that turned him onto the show in my films.
And then Charlie invited me out there, you know, called me back in like 2005.
howard stern
And then, you know, it was a culture shock for you when you went over his house.
alex jones
No, no, well, back then he was all clean and just incredibly smart and incredible energy.
The guy would sit there up till 2 a.m. just talking about quantum mechanics and stuff.
howard stern
Does he know what he's talking about?
alex jones
Oh, he does.
But see, the issue is, he's fine.
unidentified
You know quantum mechanics?
alex jones
Well, I mean, I'm into stuff like that.
Sure, I mean, that's what I'm into.
howard stern
That's your thing.
dan friesen
That's his thing.
jordan holmes
That's his thing.
dan friesen
Yeah, it definitely doesn't sound like somebody who's on drugs, staying up all hours of the night rambling about quantum mechanics.
No, that's when he was an actor.
jordan holmes
That's when he was clean.
dan friesen
Yeah, totally clean.
jordan holmes
That's when he was totally.
Well, I mean, that's when things were getting cleaned a lot because he was up all night all the time.
dan friesen
Compulsively clean, some might say.
jordan holmes
So, oh, so almost too clean.
dan friesen
Now, I think that Alex believes himself to be a fan of gay marriage or fine with gay marriage at this point in his life.
He's lying to himself and to everyone around him.
But I do think that he thinks that's his position at this point.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
That said, I'm fascinated by the idea that he's able to articulate that he shouldn't have let Charlie Sheen behave the way he did on his show.
jordan holmes
I am blown away by that.
dan friesen
Because that is the truth.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
As a friend, as somebody who has any concern for the welfare of others over what ratings you'll get out of something, he had every obligation to not allow that interview to proceed.
Like, Charlie Sheen was obviously fucked up.
And Alex was actually egging him on.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Because it was good radio.
And it ruined Charlie Sheen's fucking life.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that is, it is really strange to hear him say it.
To hear Alex says.
dan friesen
And so readily say it.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And just be like, yeah, I've actually analyzed my behavior from that time, recognized a failing, and I'm now willing to admit to that.
Especially considering we know that he doesn't give a fuck about Joe Rogan.
You know, like he doesn't give a fuck about any of these people.
dan friesen
Did God tell him to destroy Charlie Sheen?
jordan holmes
Maybe that's the problem.
Maybe God was like, come on, man.
Why didn't you save Charlie Sheen?
I loved that guy.
dan friesen
Or God was.
jordan holmes
Major League One.
Great.
Major League Two.
Hot shots part one.
Hot shots part two.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Pard duh, really.
No one cares about hot shots.
jordan holmes
It had to rhyme with two.
unidentified
Listen.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
I'm channeling Alex because he's saying listen a lot in this interview.
I think that God was probably telling Alex while he was doing that interview, this is good shit, man.
howard stern
Keep it going.
jordan holmes
Keep it going.
Ironically, I bet God was saying the same thing to Charlie Sheep.
dan friesen
So the question of drugs comes up.
Yeah.
And Alex is weirdly cagey about something.
jordan holmes
Sure.
howard stern
Did he ever try to do drugs with you?
alex jones
No, listen, I've never seen him do drugs.
All I've seen him is smoke Marlborough Reds and drink tons of coffee.
howard stern
Were you ever into drugs?
alex jones
You know, I mean, I've been honest with you.
Growing up in Dallas, Texas, I experimented with this and that, but everything.
Sure.
howard stern
Pot.
alex jones
Yes.
howard stern
Luds.
alex jones
You know, I never really liked.
I mean, I tried hard drugs once or twice.
howard stern
LSD.
alex jones
I'm not going to discuss that.
howard stern
What do you mean you're not going to discuss LS?
What do you mean, Alex?
Alex, did you do LSD?
alex jones
I'm not going to.
No, I didn't.
unidentified
I didn't have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky.
howard stern
Why don't you talk about drug use?
Seriously.
alex jones
I smoked pot, but I didn't inhale.
howard stern
How come you don't.
Do you want to run for office or something?
alex jones
Listen here, I got to tell you something, Howard.
I didn't have sex with that woman.
I've never done LSD.
howard stern
Alex, why don't you talk about that?
You seem pretty honest.
Why don't you talk about stuff like that?
alex jones
Because it's a distraction and overall diversion, and I might have a glass of wine now.
howard stern
Right.
alex jones
And I don't even smoke cigars anymore.
So, I mean, that's basically it.
I mean, I'm a clean guy.
howard stern
So if you admit that you did acid, it would hurt who?
unidentified
Undermine your argument?
alex jones
Well, yeah, then Howard would say, well, that's why he's so paranoid.
howard stern
No, no, no.
I wouldn't say that.
I did acid.
I mean, it was the biggest mistake of my life.
alex jones
I'm high on reality.
dan friesen
They perfectly nailed why Alex wouldn't talk about this.
He has such a defensiveness about it because he feels that people would not take him seriously if they knew that he'd done hallucinogenic things in the past.
Yeah.
That's the instinct that I'm talking about that Howard Stern has that a lot of other interviewers don't have.
And because of his high status with Alex, he's able to operate in this way and ask those questions that Alex would storm out or not take seriously from someone else.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
The point there is pretty important, I think.
That Alex is fine saying, I've done hash.
Sure.
I've smoked weed.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And also, you can tell that Howard is fucking with him because the next one was lewds.
You've done qualities?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
If I were Alex, I'd be kind of self-conscious about that, too, because he is so clearly unbalanced that pretending he's an acid casualty or something like that makes some sense.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, it's hard not if anybody is yelling about MKUltra too much, who also did LSD, you immediately drop them down a peg or two and the credibility train.
dan friesen
And Alex doesn't want to have to deal with the reality of what his credibility is.
He wants to sort of whitewash a little bit.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure.
Or at least in this situation, you know, I don't know how I don't know how hard it would be to say, to admit that you've done LSD if you're yelling about how God downloaded everything into your brain over a chicken fried steak.
dan friesen
Well, he's high on reality.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, you can do both.
dan friesen
Can you?
jordan holmes
I'll give it a shot.
dan friesen
You could probably do both, but Alex recognizes that his arguments about his own shit fall apart a little bit if you're like, oh, you've done a bunch of drugs.
jordan holmes
It is weird.
It is weird that if you say it's a dream or if you say you did drugs, people immediately go, ah, I'm going to ignore that.
But if you just say that, no, it really happened, a lot of people will go, whoa.
dan friesen
Or it was a vision.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can't just, nobody ever just goes, oh, well, see, here's the other scenarios where people say this.
Go fuck yourself.
dan friesen
And I want to quickly clarify what I'm saying, too, really quick, about this.
I don't think that Alex having done acid makes him any less credible or whatever.
I don't believe that.
But I believe that in Alex's head, he projects that onto other people, that they would not take him seriously if they knew he did hallucinogens in his past.
jordan holmes
Totally.
And I think correctly.
Well, not onto us.
Yeah, but correctly on the greater hole.
dan friesen
Meanwhile, he's on his show talking about doing crack on a beach.
He did heroin once.
jordan holmes
I know.
But those are genteel drugs.
dan friesen
And he did hash.
We learned now.
jordan holmes
He didn't do hash.
He did hash.
dan friesen
I drank mead.
jordan holmes
What are you talking about, hash?
Jesus Christ.
dan friesen
So there's a new death, new death just dropped relatively.
Bin Laden's dead.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
And Alex doesn't believe that shit.
jordan holmes
Uh-oh.
dan friesen
And he references a very credible source.
howard stern
Well, let me understand something.
Do you think Osama bin Laden was killed during the time?
When do you think he got?
Do you think he's alive?
alex jones
Well, I mean, here's the issue.
See, let me just go back for a moment.
howard stern
You really don't believe they killed him?
alex jones
Let me just break this down.
Okay, I said day one with Dr. Steve Pieczenik, who was the former head of the State Department and CIA Psychological Operations.
He's the guy that got the Anwar Sadat deal at Camp David.
He's the guy that killed Etoch Rabin.
He's the guy that co-wrote Tom Clancy's books.
dan friesen
He killed Eldomoro.
jordan holmes
That's the one he did, too.
howard stern
I'm going to go on record and say, I think Osama right now is being eaten by gay fish and suicidal shrimp.
I think he's in that water right now.
unidentified
He's eating the bisexual shrimp or I don't know.
howard stern
I believe they're sucking his dick right now.
Go ahead, Alex.
alex jones
Hey, did you guys search engine the suicidal shrimp to find out I'm not lying?
howard stern
I haven't done it yet.
Not yet.
unidentified
We're going to go home and do Holland.
alex jones
Shrimp on treadmills.
howard stern
Did you say that?
unidentified
Shrimp on treadmill.
howard stern
Benji, what's it say about suicidal shrimp?
Yeah, no, I looked it up.
He talked about.
Now, their intention might not be suicide, but like he said, they go out of their minds when they swim to where they were protected.
unidentified
Right.
howard stern
Right.
There you go.
dan friesen
So, yeah, Alex says Steve Pieczenik, most reliable source, super credible guy, willing to drop his name on Howard Stern's show to impress him a little bit.
Not so much these days.
jordan holmes
I think outside, like pure alien-wise, the sheer weirdness of the diversity of places that Steve Pieczenik seems to pop up.
Maddening.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Absolute insanity.
dan friesen
I do have something of a belief that he might be underneath the surface one of the more influential people in something.
He's caused a lot of damage for someone who's not a household name.
jordan holmes
Something.
dan friesen
Yeah, by virtue of a lot of the things that he was instrumental in pushing through Alex, it's a major part of Alex adopting Trump.
Sure.
He's a major part of Alex's belief in false flags, particularly in the case of Sandy Hook.
Yep.
He is somebody who I don't know what the reality of any connection is, but he was preaching basically what QAnon is before QAnon existed.
jordan holmes
Yep.
He's a guy.
There's a Forrest Gump.
dan friesen
He's up to some shit.
jordan holmes
There's a Forrest Gump element, but if like if, you know, every scene where Forrest Gump shows up in a historical thing and everybody's like, oh, he's there.
Instead, Steve Pieczenik is like kicking somebody in the shin and then it sets off a weird domino effect.
And it's not like, oh, he's whispering in the ears of important people.
It is literally he kicks a guy in the shin and then Rube Goldberg machine kick tops off and then all tomorrow's dead.
dan friesen
Steve has a resume that is fraudulent, but it is full of ways in which he has been incredibly influential and the most important person in the world.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And the truth is he has been really influential, just not in the ways that his resume would say.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I've fucked with Alex to the point where I have really just destroyed minds of tons of his audience.
jordan holmes
And I would be more proud of his actual CV than his fake one.
His fake one is clearly.
dan friesen
His TV CV.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I like it.
Thanks.
But I mean, the real one is obviously like, that's too much.
You were too busy.
You know what that CV says?
It says you neglected your wife.
dan friesen
But he would not be able to pull off the things that are in his real CV if it weren't for the fake things in his fake CV.
jordan holmes
Well, that's one part of his life.
dan friesen
No one would take him as seriously if he didn't have, I took down the Soviet Union single-handedly in his resume.
jordan holmes
Sure, but I mean, one part of his resume is great resume writer.
dan friesen
That is true.
That is true.
So Alex explains his conspiracy surrounding bin Laden.
And I think that, I don't know, this isn't well articulated.
howard stern
Go to Bin Laden.
Is he being eaten by gay shrimp or not?
alex jones
Listen, here's the deal.
Dr. Steve Pieczenik said on 2002 on my show, and he's a doctor.
dan friesen
He's a doctor.
alex jones
Medical doctor, not just psychiatrist.
He said that Bin Laden died of kidney failure and where he died.
And even CBS News reported he was at the American hospital in Dubai dying in 2002.
This is what's insane.
But that he would be rolled out later by Bush.
But see, Walter Cronkite came out before he died.
And Madeline Albright came out in 2004 during the election, Bush's reelection.
And so did Kerry's wife, Heinz, Carrie.
They all came out, look this up, folks, and said.
howard stern
I can't believe this.
jordan holmes
Wait a minute, let him finish.
alex jones
And listen, I swear to God, because you'll have a major level.
unidentified
Wrap it up.
howard stern
Wrap it up.
unidentified
I got to hear what you're going to say.
howard stern
Go ahead.
alex jones
I'm just giving you sources.
So your listeners are sitting crap.
They all came out and said, Dr. Pachenek's right.
Bin Laden has been frozen.
They did not take over Air Force Base, and they're going to roll out.
I'm sure.
unidentified
I'm not laughing because I just felt.
alex jones
They're going to roll out his.
I don't blame you for it.
howard stern
Robbie's right in there with you.
Don't worry.
alex jones
They're going to roll it.
unidentified
No, I just don't believe his death now meant anything.
alex jones
But listen, here's what I'm saying.
Because Walter Cronkite and the former Secretary of State, Madeline Albright, came out and said, Bush, don't bring out his body to get re-elected.
They couldn't do it.
So they kept him frozen.
And then they had the Navy SEALs go to a house to get the thawed-out dead body.
And then they blew up the Navy SEALs when they got on the helicopter so that it wouldn't actually get out.
And then two weeks later, I talked to one of the Navy SEALs whose buddy died in SILT TEAM 6 here in Austin.
I talked to him.
Remember, 23 of them blew up on the helicopter in Afghanistan.
They then blew up the guys so they couldn't tell the truth.
And now it turns out no one saw the body thrown off the aircraft.
howard stern
Who's going to all this trouble?
alex jones
And hired everybody on the aircraft carrier.
howard stern
And how are they killing?
And what about this guy who's in the military who just said he's the guy who put the bullet in bin Laden's head?
And he's saying that he can't even get any kind of help in terms of assistance or money from the government.
He can't find a job.
I mean, he seems pretty legitimate.
alex jones
It's all part of a psychopath, so it's believable, so you feel sorry for him.
dan friesen
Ah, it's all part of a psyop to make us feel sorry for him, so it's believable.
jordan holmes
Tracks.
dan friesen
Yeah, so they had Bin Laden frozen, right?
So hold on.
Hold on.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Let me say my piece.
jordan holmes
I'm being held on.
dan friesen
Cronkite.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Teresa Heinz Carey.
jordan holmes
Sure.
Naturally.
dan friesen
Margaret Thatcher.
jordan holmes
I mean, no, Albright.
dan friesen
Albright.
unidentified
Sorry.
dan friesen
Excuse me.
jordan holmes
I think Thatcher's dead by this point.
dan friesen
Maybe.
Maybe she's frozen.
jordan holmes
Could be.
That's where my problems start.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So they all say, hey, man, Pajanic's right.
Don't bring out Bin Laden's dead body to help you get re-elected.
jordan holmes
It was a very weird thing for them to say to Bush through the news.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I mean, we've sent a letter.
dan friesen
We've seen a little bit of what this is based on already in our 2004 episodes.
It's all nonsense.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But it's a very interesting, like, compelling kind of conspiracy if you don't have any basis for understanding of what Alex is talking about.
Right, right.
If this is all just being spat at you wholesale, like, why would he say all this stuff if he doesn't?
It's not real.
Like, it seems to have so many specifics and so many details.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Teresa Heinz Carey told Bush not to do it.
So then they had him frozen.
They put him in that house, thawed him out.
Then the Marines came, SEAL TEAM 6, had to kill all of the elite SEAL team in order to make sure that they didn't talk about how they just went to get a frozen body.
Sure.
And Alex knows this from talking to somebody who I assume is Tonto, Tonto Speranto.
Something.
Something along those lines.
jordan holmes
Here's my problem.
dan friesen
Oh.
jordan holmes
how could you have a problem once you now the rest of this makes sense okay Once you.
This is the only problem I have.
Everything else makes perfect sense.
Once you've got Osama bin Laden frozen, you're keeping him someplace.
Now, I cannot help but think that if you've already got an Osama bin Laden frozen, you've got a frozen people playbook, which means you've done this before, which means I wonder who else is in that frozen meatlocker.
And then I think to myself, once you've got two or three plus famous people, frozen corpses in your meatlocker, right?
Maybe you want another one.
Maybe you start collecting frozen famous people.
dan friesen
Now, let me flip this on you.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
What if it is the first time?
What if Bin Laden died and someone's like, I might be able to use this later?
jordan holmes
Freeze this asshole real quick.
dan friesen
Right.
This could be useful.
jordan holmes
What if he had what if it was a weekend at Bernie's, but in reverse, wherein he was pretty much to be.
No, no, no.
That's a weekend at Bernie's too.
No, he was pretending to be dead and had people act like he was dead, making him pretend to be alive while he was.
No, he was frozen.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
The freezing is really a difficult thing to do.
jordan holmes
It's difficult to get around, yeah.
dan friesen
So he was frozen for like a decade then, basically, right?
jordan holmes
How long can you freeze a person for?
dan friesen
Ask Walt Disney.
jordan holmes
That's what I want to know.
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
What kind of freezing are we doing?
Are we talking full cryogenic freezing?
dan friesen
I think this is just my assessment.
Sure.
If this is true.
jordan holmes
Oh, if.
unidentified
If.
dan friesen
Big if.
jordan holmes
Big if.
dan friesen
If you're keeping Bin Laden frozen for a decade, it's going to be.
Someone's going to talk.
There's a number of people who are going to need to be involved in terms of maintaining the cryogenic pod or whatever the fuck.
There would be a number of people involved in this.
I find it difficult to believe that there wouldn't be some kind of talking.
But then again, you talk, you get frozen.
jordan holmes
See, well, now I get what you're saying there.
Here's why, here's what I would, here's my way that this breaks down.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
One, the smart thing you do, if you've got Osama bin Laden frozen, keep him in a place, hide him forced for the trees kind of thing.
Very small, very middle of nowhere.
Hide him out, you know.
Who's looking for that house that he was in?
dan friesen
It was probably a cryo facility.
jordan holmes
Might as well put it there.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Right?
Problem is, you got at least one person in there every now and again checking to see if the power's on.
Sooner or later, they are out on a date, going a little bit hard.
Suddenly, the only interesting thing they've got is like, you want to see Osama?
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And then all of a sudden.
You want to see a frozen terrorist?
And then the whole thing falls apart.
dan friesen
Look, I just don't have any game.
You can't impress ladies on dates.
jordan holmes
That's why conspiracies never work.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
A lack of game.
dan friesen
Someone's too thirsty and is bombing on a date.
jordan holmes
You know, if we think too hard on it, that might come up more true than I want.
dan friesen
So the topic of abortion comes up.
And this is just kind of incoherent.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
howard stern
Are you for abortion?
I'm for it.
I mean, there's so many unwanted children in the way.
I know you were crying the other night about children and.
dan friesen
What was that?
howard stern
What was that, by the way?
unidentified
But what happened to those people?
howard stern
But seriously, Alex, what are we talking about?
alex jones
Who was crying for children?
howard stern
You.
Oh, 2011.
I heard a tape.
We played a tape of you crying over some children.
I don't know what the hell was going on.
alex jones
Well, I have actually cried for real sometimes.
But listen, here's the issue.
On the issue of gay marriage, it should be a state issue, as Ron Paul has said, and the state shouldn't even be involved, period.
And on the issue of abortion, they carry out abortion for population reduction.
And again, I'm going to say it.
Margaret Sanger, you can pull up her writings, university writings, scans of the letters in the National Archive where she said, we're going to pose as liberals so that blacks trust us.
We're going to hire black doctors and preachers to sell them on a welfare state to take over the black community and break up their families so we can abort them.
And they abort fully 52% of blacks since Roe v. Wade in this country.
So again, again, we're talking about blacks.
howard stern
So you're against abortion or are you for it?
alex jones
I'm stating, I'm asking people.
Okay, I can hear the argument of, oh, it's a woman's right or she got raped or whatever her first trimester.
I'm saying there's too many people on the planet who are unwanted and unloved abortion because those are humans and they're even aborting people, Howard, up to up to nine months.
Maybe nine years.
howard stern
I'm for nine years.
I got to tell you something.
There's so many unloved, unwanted children.
And by the way, most people who are for the abolition of abortion, they don't give to charity and they don't sit there and take these children.
unidentified
They're not adopting these children.
howard stern
They're not adopting these children.
They just want more children.
It's a damnness, though.
alex jones
Let me ask you this.
unidentified
Because once the children get here, who's taking care of them?
alex jones
Sure, the journey.
I made pediatrics last year called for killing kids up to age three.
howard stern
Thank you.
Thank you.
unidentified
How are you sharing the university shooting three-year-olds in the ass?
No, no, no.
howard stern
I'm not going to do it.
We have PF people who do that.
No, I'm for abortion.
I'm not for a three-year-old being killed.
I'm for abortion.
dan friesen
So you see, there's an interesting way that Alex is trying to dodge the question of his support of abortion or obviously opposition in this case.
And Howard keeps interjecting things that kind of force him to say, I'm against it.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
You know, he's trying to obfuscate and dodge around.
Like, I can see these arguments for, blah, blah, blah.
And because of the way that Howard interviews, it forces Alex to just directly say, I'm opposed to this.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, there is an element of anybody else saying and talking to Alex this way would have seen a blow-up, would have seen a storm out, would have seen any number of reactions.
But the only reason that Howard can get away with this is because Alex is a star fucker.
And Howard's a star.
dan friesen
He's desperate for Howard to see him as cool.
jordan holmes
That's what, yeah, exactly.
You know, it is, it is.
dan friesen
That's why he's fine talking about how he was fucking as a kid and stuff.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Because he knows that'll impress Howard.
Howard's a really sexual dude.
And so him being like, yeah, I fucked hot 15-year-olds when I was 12.
Like, that's going to impress Howard.
And so he's fine with that.
jordan holmes
All right.
So here's the strategy for dealing with Alex and his ilk.
All right.
dan friesen
Shock jocks.
jordan holmes
We need to get famous people to bully him.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I mean, let's throw this out there, all right?
dan friesen
But it has to be the right kind of famous person.
jordan holmes
Chris Hemsworth.
Yeah, it's not going to be a Chris Hemsworth.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
Who's it got to be?
dan friesen
It has to be someone like Rogan, honestly.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it is going to have to be somebody like Rogan.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Rogan's perfectly situated, actually, to be.
jordan holmes
Is Clint Eastwood still alive?
dan friesen
He's frozen.
I have no idea.
jordan holmes
I bet he could bully Alex.
dan friesen
This could be a Mandela effect.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
He might have died 10 years ago or he's still alive.
No idea.
jordan holmes
These are very possible things.
dan friesen
He might have won an Oscar last year.
unidentified
I have no idea.
jordan holmes
It's also very possible.
dan friesen
So Alex, there's a couple things he just seems refusing to answer.
One was that acid thing.
howard stern
Sure.
dan friesen
Another question that comes up in a clip that I didn't include was whether or not he's had sex with a black woman before.
howard stern
Sure.
dan friesen
Seems to not want to answer that question.
jordan holmes
That's such a very strange question to not want to.
I mean, it's a weird question to ask, and it's a strange question to be asked.
dan friesen
It's not a weird question to ask in Howard's world.
No, in Howard's world, yeah, yeah, it's very well within the topics of conversation that come up on this shock jock shit.
So whatever the case is, whatever's behind that, he also doesn't want to really talk about aliens.
howard stern
Sure.
We have this guy Riley on it.
You know, he believes in aliens.
Do you believe in aliens?
Do you believe that there is life on other planets?
alex jones
Howard, I need a raise.
I can't do this.
What does he give me?
Your clip of him, I could actually imitate him.
Can I hear one?
howard stern
Look at her.
Look at him.
But wait a second.
Alex.
alex jones
It's all too easy.
howard stern
Do you believe in aliens?
Do you believe alien life forms were here?
alex jones
When I left you, I was with the learner.
Now I am the master.
Take him here.
howard stern
Hey, was your father invented?
alex jones
Conflict.
howard stern
He is.
Is he proud of what you're doing or does he think you're nuts?
alex jones
My father, who's well-read and cited history, he said, yeah, you're right about a lot of this, but our government's not that bad and it's going to be okay and things will work out.
That was him 17 years ago.
Now he's like, oh my God, it's all real.
It's horrible.
howard stern
And what's really got him free, he's less trusting now.
unidentified
But Alex, are you really getting anything done?
alex jones
I just want to, listen, it doesn't mean I have all the answers.
I just want to get people thinking.
dan friesen
Yeah, man.
I'm just a conversation starter.
So that doesn't sound anything like his dad based on his other tellings of the story of his age.
jordan holmes
The smartest boy in Texas running away from the out-of-control, evil government, then gets to around mid-30s, and he's like, eh, they're fine.
Everything's pretty great.
dan friesen
You know what?
I have a lot of faith.
I trust this.
Our government is going to be pretty good.
Sure.
And then he gets radicalized by his crazy son.
jordan holmes
Mid-60s, everybody's going to die.
unidentified
Yep.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I don't believe any of this.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
But you see, there's such an interesting dynamic that's going on in that clip.
And that is that Howard's asking this question that Alex doesn't want to answer.
And so Alex starts deflecting with doing these voices.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Doing Darth Vader, James Earl Jones shit.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
So then Howard recognizes that and asks him an incredibly confrontational question, which is, is your dad proud of you?
That is such an interesting roller coaster of how this interview is playing out.
Like, I get the sense that Howard is probably, like, not super thrilled with the way that Alex is deflecting from the question, and he's trying to jostle him back into the interview from the weird voices and shit.
Sure, sure.
He's trying to take away that performance element that Alex is doing in order to take over the interview.
jordan holmes
Right, right.
dan friesen
Power struggle shit.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
I kind of got more the vibe from Alex that he just really wanted to do something good.
You know, he wanted to show off his little, he's got a good voice.
dan friesen
There might be some voice voice bookers who are listening.
jordan holmes
I do, for all the deflecting that he was doing in the earlier questions, and I do think that he was deflecting to do this.
In this case, I truly believe that the inspiration for it is, God, I want to show off my James Earl Jones voice.
And I'll tell you why I believe that.
I know that feeling, man.
I know that feeling.
dan friesen
I think it can be both.
jordan holmes
That's what I'm saying.
It is deflecting.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
But the heart of it is, I want somebody to tell me I'm a good boy.
dan friesen
It's deflecting, but it's also, this is an opportunity.
jordan holmes
I've got to tell.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
So Alex's dad, he characterized him in that last clip a little bit weirdly.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
In ways that I don't think match up with other stories that he's told of his dad.
Totally.
And so this also does not match with the characterization that we know of Alex's dad's role in his career.
Yeah.
alex jones
I was working my way through school and college, wasn't getting a lot of help from my parents, just so I wanted to work on my own.
howard stern
He's a dentist, and he didn't help you out for college.
alex jones
He helped me out a little bit, but not much.
howard stern
What is up with that?
That's totally cruel.
alex jones
And I went into sales right away out of high school.
See, I mean, I was making good grades in college, but I was successful.
howard stern
But the old man could have helped you.
You know, he's got a lot of people.
unidentified
And he was only going to community college.
howard stern
Yeah, I mean, it's not that expensive.
alex jones
I mean, my dad did buy me a Green Mustang on graduation.
howard stern
He did.
unidentified
All right.
howard stern
Well, that's more important.
dan friesen
Well, that's something.
And he also bought an ad on your radio show that was what got you a radio show.
alex jones
Yep.
dan friesen
It's dental practice, bought an advertising time to justify you having a show.
Like, this is ridiculous.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I'm a self-made man.
My dad didn't do shit.
jordan holmes
Every time I have heard a self-made man story, every single one of them.
dan friesen
Boy.
jordan holmes
But that's because they're kind of born.
The self-made man story is born because of its non-existence, you know?
Like, the fact that you have to justify living in a place where you're so much more successful than other people.
You can't just be like, well, this is the vagaries of life.
You have to be like, I've earned this behavior.
Otherwise, I have to accept that I'm not really, there's no difference between me and everybody else.
And this is all random, you know?
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
So it's better to have the bootstrap story than be like, everything is chaos.
Nothing matters.
Everybody's going to go insane every moment now, you know?
dan friesen
I'd like to see you and Howard discuss that.
I think I just, I find it fascinating the way that everything is so different with his family now.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Or in just different environments.
Like on his show, he would talk about how his family is in all these high-level intelligence shit, and they told him that the globalists are the bad news, man.
They're bad news.
My uncle was involved in Iran-Contra.
Like, where's all this stuff in this interview?
jordan holmes
Furthermore, isn't that a sort of, isn't that a sort of help from your family?
You know, getting so much of this information solely through.
Well, yeah, it's true.
Exactly.
Obviously.
dan friesen
In universe, it's a huge job.
jordan holmes
In universe is a good way of putting it.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So throughout this interview, I don't, I think Howard's been humoring Alex quite a bit.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
But I really get the sense that he's just thinks that this is entertainment.
unidentified
One concern I have is when people just stir and stir and stir controversy, it really doesn't do anything.
And if you really are serious about this stuff, you have to do something about it.
howard stern
He's doing a radio show.
He's got to keep it.
unidentified
You believe he's just entertaining.
howard stern
I believe Alex believes what he believes in, but I think he also has the pressure of being an entertainer and he has to keep coming up with that.
unidentified
That's not my point.
If it's true what he's saying, he's entertaining.
howard stern
How would anyone know what's true?
unidentified
But what?
He claims that he's researching.
howard stern
Well, you know what?
Whatever.
Alex, let's take a couple of phone calls.
Sure.
jordan holmes
I left that to his face.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
To his face is great.
dan friesen
He claims he's researching.
Whatever.
jordan holmes
I like that.
That I like a lot.
I would like that opportunity.
dan friesen
And they're referring to him as he and talking about him.
Oh, I know.
jordan holmes
To his face while he's there.
dan friesen
I think he's an entertainer and he just has to come up with stuff to be.
jordan holmes
He's got the hey, Robin, aside while that person's there.
And this is the fucking radio.
Yeah.
dan friesen
I think he's a showman just trying to fuck with people.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, it's better than saying he's a fat-lying piece of shit.
dan friesen
Yeah.
But I think at this point, too, there was not nearly the awareness of the damages and the danger that someone like Alex poses.
So there is a freedom that Howard feels in being able to just engage in this as like, ah, he's a fucking, he's a joke weirdo saying all this nonsense on the radio for entertainment.
And I'm amused by it.
howard stern
Yeah.
dan friesen
I enjoy watching him dance for me.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that is pretty much it.
I don't think there's any way that Howard Stern is going to be taken in by Alex Jones.
dan friesen
I think his instincts are a little sharper than that.
jordan holmes
I don't think you get to where Howard is the way you do without being able to read through some bullshit.
dan friesen
Oh, my God.
Tell me all about this Dr. Steve Jack character.
jordan holmes
He claims he's researching.
dan friesen
Yeah, whatever.
jordan holmes
Whatever.
Fuck off.
dan friesen
And I think that part of that is the showbiz instincts that Howard has.
He can tell that Alex is putting on a show.
He's seen enough of Alex's clips and things to have an awareness of, like they were talking about it earlier, like him crying.
Yeah.
He's seen these things and he knows, like, all right, this guy is.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
This guy's putting on an act.
jordan holmes
Howard's somebody who's negotiated some of his own contracts.
He's seeing through bullshit.
dan friesen
And part of the bullshit that he's seeing through is that Alex has done all this research.
jordan holmes
Yeah, totally.
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I find that interesting.
So they play that clip of Alex crying.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
He goes, of course.
dan friesen
To see what his thoughts are about it.
howard stern
Here it is.
This is you crying, Alex.
unidentified
Here you go.
alex jones
And then last night, God just showed me so much, and I couldn't even talk.
And I do not even feel worthy to be here bringing you this information.
And it just absolutely brought me to a place I've never been to, you know, where God just really says, you want to see the evil?
Here it is.
Feel it.
And to feel what the children are feeling.
howard stern
Alex, performance or real crime?
alex jones
No, totally real.
Totally real.
unidentified
I have.
alex jones
Listen, listen.
You know what Fleetwood Knight song?
Yeah, here comes the Christian vision.
My visions to myself.
Yeah, I mean, Howard, you ever had a vision?
howard stern
Yes.
alex jones
I have visions involved to threesome.
unidentified
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
You have visions all the time?
howard stern
What is your vision, Alex?
What's the last one you had?
alex jones
Well, I mean, no, what is a vision?
No, just incredible updates.
Times 100, where you have amazing understanding, but also things open up and it's called discernment.
And then you can actually study history and evil and also look into the spirit of evil and then look into what the spirit of evil is doing.
That is a vision and an understanding of the globalist and the snuff.
unidentified
That happened to me on ayahuasca.
howard stern
I tried.
That happened to Robin.
alex jones
I don't need to take ayahuasca to go to that place, but go ahead.
howard stern
I got to tell you, Alex, I've learned a lot this morning.
I do have to wrap things up because, you know, we do take breaks, but I got to tell you.
unidentified
Do you go to one of those big mega churches?
alex jones
No.
No, I don't go to church.
unidentified
You don't go to the chat?
alex jones
Establishment B.S.
dan friesen
Establishment B.S.
I go to white identity preacher Texe Marrs' place and hang out with him while he talks about how evil the Jews are and how minorities are ruining America.
That's my religion.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Fucking asshole.
jordan holmes
Yeah, what was it?
Wherever two or more of you gather in my name to shit all over non-white people, so I am there.
dan friesen
I'll see you there.
Yeah.
So I feel no better in terms of my awareness of what his visions are from that.
Seemed like just a bunch of words being rattled off.
jordan holmes
Comedically, I appreciate a good while the crying is still going on in the background.
I like a good totally real, immediately followed by.
That was the fakest possible crying sound.
Then it realized the whole thing.
dan friesen
Totally real.
jordan holmes
Immediately after totally real.
dan friesen
Totally real.
jordan holmes
At that point, you're like, maybe he's building up to something.
dan friesen
And then the first sob goes, I pray that I never find myself in a situation where someone plays a video of me crying and has to ask, real or fake, is this an act or is this real?
Because I think I would have made a couple of mistakes along the way to get to that point.
jordan holmes
I mean, you know, like, I guess if I was acting, they were like, oh, is that fake?
unidentified
Oh, like, yeah, that's about as close as the kids.
jordan holmes
But even then, so is Alex, which is the problem.
dan friesen
Totally different conversation.
If you were in the Avengers Endgame or something and you have a crying scene, which I assume they did because a lot of people died, right?
jordan holmes
Do they cry in Avengers?
dan friesen
I feel like somebody must have.
unidentified
Probably.
dan friesen
So you ask the actor, real tears or fake?
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Did you get eye drops?
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Fine conversation.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Alex, you're crying about the children on air.
jordan holmes
Where on the level of fake tear are we?
What tear tear?
Are we at like saline solution fake tears or are we at Alex Jones complaining about what happens to children fake tears?
dan friesen
And based on what he described his visions as, it seems like that could just be like you read something in a book and then you had a thought about it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
That's not a vision.
jordan holmes
I mean, is it possible?
Is it possible that Alex Jones only infrequently experiences the idea of images within your mind in response to a stimulus?
You know, like when he reads, he doesn't imagine what is going on in the book.
dan friesen
He's just reading.
I find that difficult because he imagines so much else.
He imagines detectives trying to murder him when he goes to New York.
jordan holmes
That is a good point.
dan friesen
Hmm.
Anyway, we have one last clip.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
And Alex talks about his anti-vax conspiracy.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And boy, it's different in 2013.
alex jones
Let me just take one chilling point as we leave here.
In literally hundreds of white papers by MIT and others, when you want this, I'll send it to you.
I'm not kidding.
What they say they're going to do is they're going to, in vaccines, inject us with what they call an anti-stress or anti-drug use vaccine, but they're not even going to tell you.
And if you look this up, they go, a new vaccine, this is three years ago, is going to cure, and this is where it's all going, is going to cure stress.
But they're not really vaccines.
They're genetically engineered nanotech viruses that go in and eat selective ganglia and neuron clusters in the cerebral cortex and other areas, which are a selective lobotomy where you will be a biological android.
And we have evidence they're already testing this on the military and others.
So soon, if we don't turn this around, the plan, you're hearing the ultimate secret here, is to add to flu vaccines and other things.
Did you take the flu vaccine?
Absolutely not.
howard stern
You would never take it.
alex jones
No.
howard stern
Do you get your kids vaccinated?
alex jones
No, never done anything.
howard stern
No vaccines whatsoever.
alex jones
Spreading the flu, it actually doubles your chances of getting the flu to get the flu vaccine.
howard stern
You need to give your kids the polio vaccine?
alex jones
None of it.
dan friesen
None.
So why didn't they just put that in the COVID vaccine?
Right?
I mean, like, he said they're going to add it to the flu vaccine.
So, why did he just drop this entire threat?
This is supposed to be the big plan.
This is what the globalists are up to a decade ago.
Did they just drop this?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I guess they did.
I guess Alex just got lost his interest in this conspiracy.
Or maybe it was more profitable to go other directions.
jordan holmes
Hashtag Alex Jones was forgot.
Yeah.
dan friesen
Alex Jones lost the thread.
Yeah.
I just, I find that to be just annoying.
jordan holmes
It is.
It is.
There's no reason.
There's no reason to like, and it's so weird to listen to it through Howard Stern and his reactions to it as well.
Is it because it does make sense, you know, where we are with all of the that we've done in the past six years, you know, it does make sense to go back, listen to this, and go, oh, all you do need to do is go look at this asshole and then walk away.
You know, he's a crazy, listen to this shit.
Listen to this shit.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Robin's listening to this shit.
You know, she's like, fuck this shit, you know?
unidentified
But he's so much worse.
jordan holmes
How is it possible that that is oh so fucking weird?
Well, it's like a little lanternfish with the little thing that sticks up, and that's what the rest of us see.
dan friesen
I think that if Alex had gone on Stern more regularly and been exposed more to Stern's variety of questioning, I think it would have penetrated some holes in him in his presentation.
jordan holmes
More than Quest Jorgen or The View or anything on those lines.
dan friesen
Yeah, questions like these tears that you, this realer performance.
Yeah, yeah.
Lines like, yeah, whatever, to the idea of him researching.
Sure.
I think that Stern would be able to puncture some of Alex's illusion.
And instead, he went on places regularly like Coast to Coast AM where his bullshit was amplified and people like George Norrie just wait, it's all eggs.
Like that kind of level of interviewing.
And I think that that did a disservice and, you know, really, I don't know, you could have, you could have stigmatized Alex a little more if she was on Stern more.
Sure.
I think.
jordan holmes
Totally.
Well, that's kind of part of why I mean that like little lanternfish idea is like all that popped up into the consciousness was that tiny little, oh, look, it's a cute little, that's fun.
You know?
And it would have been so easy for just by accident too much to appear and then everybody goes, ah, and that's the end for him, you know?
And it just didn't happen.
dan friesen
And it's, it's a complicated thing, too, because I think that you do have an element of humanizing Alex and like softening his image by way of an interview like this.
Sure.
You know, Stern is being like, he's fun.
He's, you know, he's interesting.
Sure.
But I think that when it's in an environment like Rogan, he is inept at pushing back on the things that Alex says.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Whereas Stern is more willing to push back.
You know, you even hear it in that last clip.
He's pushing back about the vaccines.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
He won't even get your kids vaccinated for polio.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, isn't that ridiculous?
Isn't that an inappropriate thing to do?
And Stern is willing to stand by his positions that are different than Alex, that abortion is right.
People should have access to abortion.
He believes in gay marriage.
You know, these are things that Alex wouldn't be able to walk over him on.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
Whereas with Rogan, he has no spine.
jordan holmes
Man, that is so weird.
It is real weird to stop and think about all the people that have come close to Alex and then be like, you know, not many had spines.
Howard Stern won.
Everybody you would expect, zero.
Unfortunately.
dan friesen
I think Stern sucks in a lot of other ways.
jordan holmes
Yeah, so many different ways.
dan friesen
It is often very difficult to listen to for the constant talk over each other.
I find it boring.
But yeah, in terms of an interview style that counters Alex pretty decently, I think this is one of them.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And like we've already mentioned, I think part of it also relies heavily on the ideal hero worshiping of Stern that Alex clearly has done as a younger man.
Right.
So, I don't know.
I don't know if this is helpful at all, but I thought it was interesting.
The glimpse of this.
I particularly think the way that Alex is characterizing his dad being so completely off the mark from other places where he talks about him.
That's fun.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
The fantasies of Mike Bloomberg trying to kill him and then him being like, I over blew that.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it didn't happen.
dan friesen
I made that.
jordan holmes
He had a flu.
Oh, by the way, won't get vaccinated.
dan friesen
Right.
Well, because he makes you more likely to.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
I know that because I had the flu.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
Imagine I would have had double flu.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
And then I would have seen so many of Bloomberg's agents.
dan friesen
Too many.
jordan holmes
Too many.
dan friesen
So we'll be back.
Maybe Alex will be back in studio.
Who knows?
Maybe I'll find something in 2004 worth discussing.
unidentified
Could be.
dan friesen
Who knows?
But for now, we have a website.
jordan holmes
Indeed, we do.
It's KnowledgeFight.com.
dan friesen
And Alex Jones is an idiot.com.
jordan holmes
And AlexJonesisanidiot.com.
dan friesen
And we're also on Twitter.
jordan holmes
And we are on Twitter.
It's at KnowledgeUnderscoreFight.
dan friesen
Yep, we'll be back.
jordan holmes
And we've got a sub stack.
dan friesen
There's a link on the Alex Jones.
I know.
I know, I know.
I'm Neo.
I'm Leo.
I'm DZX Clark.
Eventually, one day, your grandchildren will look upon this spot.
And there might be a bit here.
But for now, your progeny will have to tell you through ethereal connections that we have with our ancestors once you are long dead and gone whether or not a bit will fill this space.
For now, there is nothing.
alex jones
Yeah, woo!
dan friesen
Yeah, woo!
jordan holmes
And now here comes the sex robot.
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
jordan holmes
Hello, Alex.
I'm a first-time caller.
unidentified
I'm a huge fan.
alex jones
I love your work.
