| I love you. | ||
| Hey, everybody. | ||
| Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| We're a couple dudes like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| Oh, indeed we are. | ||
| Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Quick question for you. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| What's your bright spot today, buddy? | ||
| My bright spot today, Jordan, I was thinking about Advent calendars. | ||
| You were thinking about Advent calendars and that led to your bright spot. | ||
| I was thinking about the history of Advent calendars in my life. | ||
| Right, I was going to say, not the actual... | ||
| Did you look into the actual history? | ||
| I didn't. | ||
| I like to research things, but not that much. | ||
| I'm not compulsive... | ||
| Well... | ||
| I'll take that back. | ||
| Let's just move on from there. | ||
| So, I don't know what your relationship was growing up with Advent calendars. | ||
| I had one. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, for me, there was the excitement of the Advent calendar sometimes being chocolates. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Oh, totally. | ||
| Every day, you open up a little door and there's a chocolate in there. | ||
| But I think at a certain point, my parents wanted to snuff out the joy in my life. | ||
| And Advent calendars became, like... | ||
| The last battleground of joy. | ||
| I will take these from thee! | ||
| No candy. | ||
| No, that's not fair. | ||
| There was still candy around. | ||
| But Advent calendars became like this thing that was on the wall, like a sheet that was on the wall, and there were pockets, and in each pocket there was a decoration for the tree. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| For the Christmas tree. | ||
| I've seen those. | ||
| And so it was that instead of candies behind every door. | ||
| And I will say, as much fun as it is to decorate a Christmas tree, it is no candy. | ||
| No. | ||
| And so Advent calendars became something that I didn't have a lot of passion for. | ||
| That's just something you can't do to a child. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You can't do that for two reasons. | ||
| Bait and switch with the candy? | ||
| Totally. | ||
| First thing you can do, you can never do the candy Advent calendar and just always have the... | ||
| And then you would be excited for that. | ||
| You'd be like, holy shit, this is the time of year we do the duh. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know? | ||
| And then you can't... | ||
| Have kids know that other kids get chocolate at the advent. | ||
| You have to shelter them somehow. | ||
| Yeah, but once you breach that line, you have ruined the kid's life if you take away candy advent calendars from them. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's just true. | ||
| So now, as an adult... | ||
| Life ruined. | ||
| I'm aware that there are a number of sorts of advent calendars you can get. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, I've seen people have booze ones. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And that sounds kind of fun, but I don't really drink that much these days, so, like, I don't know, you know, whatever. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| However. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What do you got? | ||
| I swear to God, this is not an Aldi-sponsored podcast. | ||
| You'd never know it from listening to us. | ||
| So, the Aldi. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| I was walking around. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Shopping. | ||
| You know how I like to spend some time in the cheese aisle, apparently. | ||
| I have heard. | ||
| Found a cheese advent calendar. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| So I've got that. | ||
| I'm going to enjoy that this holiday season, this December. | ||
| I'm going to be having cheese every day. | ||
| Open up a little door. | ||
| Hello, cheese. | ||
| Varieties of cheese? | ||
| You bet. | ||
| Specific themed varieties of cheese or just general cheese varieties? | ||
| What kind of themes are you talking about? | ||
| I mean, maybe there's like, oh, the cheeses of Belgium. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| No, but they are. | ||
| They are. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I looked at a couple of the names that are highlighted. | ||
| And they seem pretty good. | ||
| One is like a mustard something or other. | ||
| I'm like, hello. | ||
| I look forward to you. | ||
| Whatever door you're going to be behind. | ||
| But yeah, so I got a cheese advent calendar. | ||
| My life is going great. | ||
| Good. | ||
| How about you? | ||
| What's your bright spot? | ||
| My bright spot? | ||
| I have a double bright spot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, shit. | |
| Walked in with a single one. | ||
| First bright spot came in. | ||
| You've got a cold brew coffee. | ||
| I did. | ||
| This shit is great. | ||
| I got a cold brew maker. | ||
| Because I like... | ||
| Coffee, sort of, but I like iced coffee, and it's kind of a hassle to make hot coffee and then cool it. | ||
| Yeah, that's absurd. | ||
| Multi-step process. | ||
| It makes me angry, the idea of it. | ||
| And if you try to use ice, it ends up watering down the coffee, and it's just no good. | ||
| But I found a cheap cold brew brewer. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| And so I've been messing around with that. | ||
| I'm glad you enjoy it. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| Second bright spot? | ||
| Tomorrow, well, today, whenever this is coming out, Super Mario RPG remake for the Switch. | ||
| Extremely excited for this. | ||
| Yeah, I never played the original one. | ||
| Ultimate, it is one of the classic video games of, I mean, if anybody who argues with you is like, oh, it's not that great, it's just wrong. | ||
| It's just wrong. | ||
| It's one of the greats. | ||
| It's just one of the greats. | ||
| That was originally on the 64? | ||
| No, NES. | ||
| NES? | ||
| NES, SNES. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| Not the original. | ||
| There's no way that was on the Nintendo. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Original SNES. | ||
| I think I'll probably give it a try. | ||
| You should. | ||
| I was a huge Thousand Year Door guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| Paper Mario. | ||
| Thousand Year Door. | ||
| Just spiritual sequel. | ||
| It is. | ||
| I mean, I will tell you this. | ||
| It's so much of a fun, like... | ||
| The game knows what it's trying to do, and it's having a great time doing it. | ||
| It's just filled with such infectious joy. | ||
| There's so many mini-games where you're just like, this is great. | ||
| This is great! | ||
| Well, that's quite an ad for it. | ||
| I'll die on the hill of Super Mario RPG is a great game. | ||
| Who's your squad? | ||
| Who's my squad? | ||
| It starts with, usually I go Mario... | ||
| Gino Bowser. | ||
| That's how it tends to... | ||
| Yeah, Gino is a character created just for Super Mario RPG. | ||
| Is it Gino the manager from that Hall& Oates song? | ||
| Ooh, if only. | ||
| If only. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sign on the line, sign on the line, sign on the line. | |
| It's a puppet that was magically brought to life by a star, I believe. | ||
| And wishes. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Live fast, die a try, and die laughing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Gino, no, no, no, no. | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| It's a good song. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| There's a number of songs that I only know about because of that show Yacht Rock, and Gino the Manager is definitely one of them. | ||
| A very bizarre deep cut from Holland Oates. | ||
| I can think of no reason to, off the top of your head, know about that song. | ||
| That and Portable Radio. | ||
| The song by Holland Oates talking about boomboxes and how exciting they are. | ||
| The song, Yacht Rock, that song by Hollow Notes is another title for Yacht Rock. | ||
| My baby loves my portable radio. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh boy. | |
| Crack up the power high! | ||
| Oh man, I can't believe that they haven't, never mind. | ||
| So, Jordan. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Today we have an episode to go over. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| We're going to be talking about November 14th, 2023. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I was going to include the 15th too, but I bailed after like two minutes. | ||
| Smart. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But we don't have much to go over on the 14th. | ||
| For reasons that will become clear in a little bit. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But that's why I wanted to extend things and do the 15th. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| All of this will become crystal clear. | ||
| Why the episode's short? | ||
| Why I gave up on the 15th? | ||
| All these mysteries and more will be solved on today's Serialized. | ||
| I want that. | ||
| That's how we gotta start now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All these mysteries and more will be solved on this week's episode of Knowledge Fight! | |
| Tune in. | ||
| Same Alex time, same Alex channel. | ||
| Man, I can't believe how nostalgic I just got for that announcer voice. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| So, we'll get down to business on this, but first, Jordan, let's say hello to some new wonks. | ||
| Ooh, that's a great idea. | ||
| So first, leftist cult of forest rangers. | ||
| PNW Chapter Secretary, thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you very much! | |
| I've heard of these leftist forest rangers. | ||
| I've heard from a couple people, I think. | ||
| Or it's the same person who's written a couple times. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| I like the idea of that actually existing beneath our noses this entire time. | ||
| Like, just forest rangers have their own secret society. | ||
| Unionizing the squirrels. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| They'll be fine after we're all gone. | ||
| Co-ops of moose. | ||
| Yes, please. | ||
| Next, 30 days, half September, April, June, and November. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||

| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| Fake news. | ||
| Next, Kit from Porkopolis, USA. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Next, I talk with Dan and Jordan when I listen in my car like I'm the third host. | ||
| Wait, is that weird? | ||
| Oh God, it's weird, isn't it? | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| It's not weird at all. | ||
| We hear you when you do that. | ||
| That's weird. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Next, Moss Hughes. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| And we have a technocrat in the mix, Jordan, so thank you so much to Austin Theory is a loser little titty baby. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a technocrat. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||

Four stars. | |

| Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop. | ||
| Daddy Shark. | ||
| Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent. | ||
|

|
He's a loser little titty baby. | |
| I don't want to hate black people. | ||
| I renounce Jesus Christ. | ||
| Do you know what that means? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Austin Theory is a loser, little titty baby? | ||
| Do you know who that is? | ||
| I do not know who Austin Theory is. | ||
| Austin Theory is a pro wrestler. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And he might be fairly described as a loser, little titty baby. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He's kind of a shit heel kind of guy. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Sad sack, supposed to be a loser? | ||
| Yeah, more kind of just an asshole. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, okay. | |
| He's still booked fairly well and not meant to be like a total joke. | ||
| But he's a dick. | ||
| Someone you love to hate. | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well, maybe you're supposed to hate hating him also. | ||
| You hate the hate, hating the love, the hate guy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Someone who has a lot of potential, but his character now is all just like a... | ||
| Actually, I don't know. | ||
| I haven't watched it in a long time. | ||
| He's a waste of potential! | ||
| No! | ||
| God damn it! | ||
| You just don't get it, man. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| He's a loser of a little titty baby. | ||
| I don't get it. | ||
| He's actually perfect. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Fair enough. | ||
| So we start off here today, and, you know, we got... | ||
| In better times. | ||
| Alex did not care about... | ||
| So we've got a, on this day's episode, and we've got a preamble that says, in better times. | ||
| In the years when things were going better, Alex didn't care so much about electoral politics. | ||
| It was not an obsession of his. | ||
| And here we are now. | ||
| 356 days, 12 hours, 59 minutes, 33 seconds until the most important election. | ||
| In world history, I think that's very fair to say. | ||
| As important as the Continental Army defeating King George III in a Revolutionary War that was kicked off on July 4th, 1776, we are at the crossroads here right now. | ||
| Thank you so much for joining us on this live Tuesday transmission. | ||
| Yeah, so we got the most important election of all time. | ||
| And, yeah, maybe. | ||
| Maybe fair. | ||
| But also, it sucks. | ||
| Just a 350-something-day countdown of a whole year countdown. | ||
| I can't do it. | ||
| No more. | ||
| I'll tell you. | ||
| Too much. | ||
| I'll tell you what I did. | ||
| I'll tell you what I did. | ||
| So there was this article I was reading, and I don't know if you remember, but do you remember Predict It? | ||
| That... | ||
| Betting on elections thing. | ||
| You remember that? | ||
| So I was reading this article and they were like, oh, legal stuff. | ||
| Anyways, the site's up. | ||
| And I was like, I can't do elections. | ||
| That's Bobby Barnes territory. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So I've got 200 bucks on Nikki Haley becoming the president. | ||
| I mean, I think in honor of... | ||
| I put my money where my mouth is, right? | ||
| Well, here's what I would have done. | ||
| What? | ||
| GOP primary. | ||
| I don't know about president, but you should have maybe made that long shot bet for the primary. | ||
| You know, I think, I'm telling you, I think... | ||
| Because it would suck so much for you to be right about the primary and then her lose the election, and then you don't cash out. | ||
| Yeah, but you know, I think as things get closer... | ||
| Right, so, you know, you make such a long shot bet early on, but as things get closer, what if Trump gets disqualified, right? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Okay, then all of a sudden my long shot bet of, like, one in a hundred odds becomes more like 50-50. | ||
| Before the election even happens, I can be like, hey, I'll sell this and make a huge profit. | ||
| That's how it works! | ||
| That's gambling, baby! | ||
| Oh, I didn't know you could sell your bets. | ||
| I didn't know that either, but apparently you can. | ||
| Well, then get out when you can. | ||
| I will. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So, Alex has... | ||
| This is a protracted, boring rant that he goes on about how he's always right and how he's been proven right and vindicated. | ||
| And he has a mission for his listeners based on how right they've all been. | ||
| It's all real. | ||
| This show is real. | ||
| We're telling the truth here. | ||
| And all of you that have backed the broadcast and all of you that have told the truth and been ridiculed and attacked, you're vindicated. | ||
| And your neighbors, your friends, your family, those that have ridiculed you should apologize to you. | ||
| And it's not about your ego. | ||
| It's about them respecting that you have the light in the dark of the night. | ||
| It's about respecting the fact that you cared about them enough to warn them, and you believe in them enough to believe that they can wake up and help you save our country and the world. | ||
| You can be very firm with your friends and your family and your neighbors now about how the tyranny is increasing. | ||
| And how their denial is helping this happen, and how they better get up off their asses and join you speaking out against this. | ||
| I've been so right all the time, and so you must demand apologies from your neighbors and friends. | ||
| Be firm. | ||
| Be firm. | ||
| Be firm with your neighbors and friends. | ||
| No more of this back-and-down nonsense. | ||
| I do think that from my experiences in the past with conspiracy theory-minded people, they are pretty soft. | ||
| They're not very insistent about their ideas and their beliefs depicting reality. | ||
| They really are cool with disagreement. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Conciliatory. | ||
| That's the way I would describe it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Meek. | |
| Pushovers. | ||
| Willing to give up on any single issue regardless of its import. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So I think it's just funny, the idea of Alex's listeners being like, alright, I'm gonna go over to the neighbor's house. | ||
| Knock, knock, knock. | ||
| I demand an apology. | ||
| Yeah, you know, for all the horrible things that his stochastic terrorism has resulted in, it's important to remember that it's also that small damage, that day-to-day annoying the people around you that Alex's fans do, that takes its toll. | ||
| That adds up, too. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's a psychic monster. | ||
| But it is also, you know, it does have the potential to create some funny, slightly curb your enthusiasm-ish moments where you're going next door to get an apology. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| Door slams in your face. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| So Marjorie Taylor Greene is on. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Wait, on the show? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yeah, she comes on for a little bit. | ||
| All right. | ||
| But her line is too bad for us to really listen to much of it. | ||
| But basically she's on because she wanted to impeach Secretary Mayorkas. | ||
| And it didn't work. | ||
| And so she's coming to complain about that. | ||
| I can't even understand it, Alex. | ||
| It's outrageous. | ||
| They sent the articles of impeachment back on the shelf in the Judiciary Committee where all articles of impeachment resolutions go to die. | ||
| These people deserve being named. | ||
| They deserve being shamed. | ||
| And all of their constituents and voters now know where their representative stands on impeaching Secretary of America and securing our southern border. | ||
| And they know that these eight Republicans could care less. | ||
| How many people die every single day from Biden's open border policies? | ||
| Terrible phone line. | ||
| Yeah, that's not good. | ||
| So what's going on here is that the GOP is trying to drum up an investigation on Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas, but that investigation hasn't reached its conclusion yet. | ||
| Marjorie Taylor Greene decided that she didn't want to wait and introduced a snap impeachment in hopes of just removing Mayorkas, probably because she's fully aware that the investigation won't turn up anything damning and that there's more political upside in doing this now than waiting for it to be a dead ball. | ||
| Her plot didn't work, mostly because some GOP House members didn't go along with her, and now she's on the warpath trying to target these eight Congress members. | ||
| This is the kind of upside you get when you rush in, like Marjorie Taylor Greene is doing. | ||
| There's basically no shot of this impeachment passing after the investigation is complete, and a pretty small chance it would pass now, but if you wait, you lose the opportunity to grandstand. | ||
| By doing this now, MTG gets to position herself as the only person willing to step up and do something while everyone else just sits on their hands. | ||
| And she could have achieved her goal if it weren't for these eight GOP representatives who probably don't even like Trump enough. | ||
| It's all symbolic posturing anyway, because even if her impeachment passed the House, it's dead in the water in the Senate, so this is just never going to happen. | ||
| She's just a child, lashing out for attention, but it makes sense why she's doing it. | ||
| If you're MTG, this is probably a good game to be playing, because she's mostly just courting attention from extremist media outlets like InfoWars, but if her goal is to actually make the House a more extremist-friendly place, attacking these eight isn't the worst plan. | ||
| Most of them are in safe GOP districts, so they could potentially be vulnerable to a primary challenge from a fringe right candidate that wouldn't jeopardize a seat that the GOP has in the House. | ||
| However, a couple of them are in pretty precarious districts. | ||
| Mike Turner is in Ohio's 10th district, which is only Republican plus 5, and John Duarte is in California's 13th district, which has an even partisan index. | ||
| So you don't want to fuck with that guy's place. | ||
| You're going to lose a seat. | ||
| It's interesting because there's good and simultaneously bad political moves that are being made here if Green is actually interested in accruing power. | ||
| By attacking these guys, she stands to possibly work toward replacing them with people who would align more closely with her, but she also risks losing seats, and thus this thin margin that the GOP has in the House. | ||
| Ultimately, I don't really think that she's looking at things this deeply. | ||
| She just didn't get her way, and she feels entitled to get her way all the time, so she's lashing out at the eight people who said no. | ||
| I think that's probably more what's going on. | ||
| But in the end, I decided to overthink this a little bit because I was a little bored by what was going on in this episode. | ||
| And Marjorie Taylor Greene's phone line is so bad. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I can't play more clips. | ||
| That's just, that's not enough. | ||
| What are you going for, a Homeland Security Secretary? | ||
| Yeah, and from what I understand, I think, I didn't write this down, but I believe it was like 18, late 1800s was the last time a cabinet member was impeached. | ||
| You're not going to pull this off now. | ||
| Yeah, no, and you're not going to move the needle with impeaching a cabinet member. | ||
| I couldn't name most of them in my entire lifetime. | ||
| But Mayorkas, what a great name. | ||
| It's fun to say. | ||
| Homeland Security didn't even exist for most of my life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| So, I mean, this is not, yeah, yeah, impeach. | ||
| Get rid of his entire job. | ||
| Get rid of Homeland Security. | ||
| I'm all for it. | ||
| And then we bring in... | ||
| Who do we bring in? | ||
| Somebody that they'd hate even more. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Austin Theory. | ||
| Homeland Security Secretary Austin Theory. | ||
| That'd be good. | ||
| So, earlier in the episode, Alex did a little bit of an explainer on his situation vis-a-vis bankruptcy. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Not good. | ||
| Yeah, not good. | ||
| But basically, the way that he's pitching things now is that InfoWars would be totally fine, and the bankruptcy would be totally fine, but the evil conspirators that are out to get him and the CIA and all these shadowy globalist forces... | ||
| They convinced the bankruptcy court to make Alex personally pay half of the legal fees. | ||
| And because of that, he's fucked. | ||
| He can't pay any of this shit. | ||
| He doesn't have anybody. | ||
| And so that is, like, the real problem. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Is that he, instead of just having Infowars pay all the legal fees, he has to pay half of it himself. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And I guess... | ||
| Because of the way that there's oversight with the bankruptcy stuff, he can't just take money out of the company for himself. | ||
| And so this is leading to a problem for him. | ||
| And because there's oversight, he can't just stiff the lawyers the way that... | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| Oh yeah, come sue me. | ||
| He could say that, but now that people are watching, they're like, you have to follow the rules. | ||
| I think there are all sorts of various difficulties. | ||
| So anyway, Alex is going to take some calls, but he does not want to talk about this. | ||
| Here's what I'm going to do. | ||
| I'm going to give the number out, and I'm going to take your calls. | ||
| I want callers to listen to me very carefully. | ||
| I want to talk about issues. | ||
| I want to talk about topics. | ||
| I know I've been the last four or five days on air, since last Friday, talking about the situation with InfoWars and keeping us on air and how much your support's needed. | ||
| But when I do that, it's because I happen to tell you about it. | ||
| I don't want to make the whole show about it. | ||
| Because we're on hundreds of radio stations and a lot of TV and cable stations. | ||
| People are tuning in all the time, and they tune in and just hear me whining or you calling in saying, oh, you're so sorry. | ||
| It's time we can spend on information. | ||
| I have to tell the most critical audience, the hardcore audience that listens for long periods of time, an update, but then we need to move on from that. | ||
| So the only thing I'm screening is no talk about me or InfoWars or, oh, Alex, please stay on air, any of that, because I'm already so mad and upset about all this. | ||
| Then I'm going to blow up, and I'm going to leave. | ||
| I've got a rule now. | ||
| When I'm going to blow up, I don't do it. | ||
| I just leave. | ||
| And I can control myself at 50 years old better than I used to, but the whole story is so insane, so out of control, so sick, that you can talk about any subject you want. | ||
| You're not censored, but I don't want to get into that. | ||
| I'm not talking about it. | ||
| I'm gonna leave. | ||
| Boy, if there isn't foreshadowing. | ||
| I just can't. | ||
| You know, sometimes you invite your downfall. | ||
| There's just no other way to describe what is happening right here. | ||
| That could not be more a fucking, I'm only two days away from retirement, my daughter's getting married the day after I retire, I've got another grandkid along the way, like any number of different things you have to live for. | ||
| What you have here is Alex being like, alright, I'm going to take calls, and if callers do the thing that they're most likely to do, I'm fucking out of here. | ||
| It's good. | ||
| It's good. | ||
| It's a good setup. | ||
| So anyway, we'll get to see if this works out for us. | ||
| You know, I do appreciate a good sort of Damocles. | ||
| You don't have him often enough. | ||
| It's hanging. | ||
| I will say that it takes him quite a while to get to calls. | ||
| So that at least buffers things a little bit. | ||
| Because he has some news. | ||
| I meant to get to this a few days ago, but because of time I didn't, and I really am glad I didn't because I had more time to research it. | ||
| We've got a couple newscasts I'm going to play towards the end of the show after we take a bunch of calls. | ||
| Now NASA and the government saying they believe the internet has a good chance of being shut down for months because of a solar flare. | ||
| And I began to think. | ||
| What? | ||
| Well, I'll get to it later. | ||
| But you can imagine where I'm going with this. | ||
| That's not good enough. | ||
| It's your job. | ||
| Obviously. | ||
| Producers in radio aren't like movies where they own the show. | ||
| Producers book people. | ||
| Get the guest on. | ||
| Do that. | ||
| So we do have great producers who do that, but I'm the guy that calls the shots. | ||
| They're not like in my ear saying, hey, do this, do that. | ||
| Sometimes they say, hey, you just said the wrong name or the wrong website. | ||
| So they do pop in my ear a couple times a day when I make mistakes. | ||
| But I am telling them, write it on a board, or maybe I should get a board in here and write it because I forget. | ||
| Make me cover Solar Superstorm in the last segment. | ||
| Of the broadcast today, because it's important. | ||
| I will say that the last segment of the broadcast comes out of nowhere, and so there is no time to... | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's no time. | |
| No. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| It's a very sudden last segment of the broadcast. | ||
| It's a surprise. | ||
| It hits you just like a solar flare. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, strange. | |
| Strange. | ||
| See, NASA and the government didn't say that they believe a solar flare will shut down the internet. | ||
| This is just online bullshit that Alex is pretending is news. | ||
| So there was a 2021 study that was done by NASA that looked at the possibility of solar storms affecting internet cables, mostly like the ones that are underwater, across the ocean and shit. | ||
| This was a hypothetical study looking at ways to be prepared for any potential situation, which of course was picked up on by conspiracy theorists and Fox News and turned into a dire warning that solar flares are going to cause an internet outage. | ||
| This is particularly useful for someone like Alex, because the internet going down is a big part of his globalist takeover conspiracy timeline, and he's pitched so many different versions of how this was going to happen, even over just the last two years. | ||
| Antifa was going to bring the internet down, or the globalists were going to turn off the internet but blame a cyber attack from Russia. | ||
| There were a bunch of different fun storylines that he's tried, and this is the new one, and it's just as stupid as the rest. | ||
| So this is how this works. | ||
| Alex needs to make the audience scared because fear is the fuel that his engines run on. | ||
| The world relies on the internet to keep us all connected and the staggering effects of a month-long internet outage would be almost impossible to imagine. | ||
| Markets would go chaotic, social media would disappear in an instant, and the ability of people like Alex to pretend to do independent journalism would be crushed. | ||
| It's not hard to imagine riots breaking out or at least a great deal of civic unrest coming along with it. | ||
| Thus, the internet outage fear is really good to use for the audience. | ||
| It's evocative and easy to understand. | ||
| Plus, there's a built-in motive for the globalists to want to do an internet outage. | ||
| When they're making their move and seizing ultimate control, they don't want pesky people like Alex to be able to get his message out to warn people. | ||
| They need to take control under the cover of darkness. | ||
| But they can't just go flip some switch and turn it off. | ||
| People would be furious, so they need to take a false flag approach here. | ||
| And that's why you keep seeing Alex trying to find ways to pitch this false flag using whatever flimsy optics he can find by skimming headlines and pretending he's done research This is just the new one. | ||
| A coat of paint on the internet is going to be taken down in a false flag kind of theory. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Man, that's nuts. | ||
| When you really stop to think about it, it has gone from... | ||
| In a very short period of time... | ||
| A technological advancement has gone from being something cool to being, if it goes down for an hour, an entire species loses its fucking mind. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| Yeah, that probably might be not good. | ||
| When we stop and think about, oh, if the internet goes down for a month, everyone might lose their fucking minds and the entire society might collapse. | ||
| We gotta really examine whether or not maybe we're a little over-reliant. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And addicted, you know? | ||
| Yeah, maybe a little bit too much. | ||
| Yeah, we should diversify. | ||
| Maybe go to a park. | ||
| How's that gonna help with the markets? | ||
| The markets. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Put them all in parks. | ||
| You thought that was so fucking clever. | ||
| No, it did not. | ||
| It happened. | ||
| It was panic. | ||
| I regret it coming out immediately. | ||
| So I don't know about you. | ||
| Are you a morning person? | ||
| I am a morning person now. | ||
| Do you like to wake up and like... | ||
| Put your feet in the dew on the grass and maybe find some clarity in the sunrise. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Well, you're unlike Alex then. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because Alex, in the morning, he'll go out on his massive amount of land and walk, take a big hike. | ||
| Oh, sure. | ||
| Which is all bullshit. | ||
| Bob Ross style. | ||
| Yeah, and he just finds the great clarity of the most high. | ||
| All right. | ||
| People need to have an intense understanding. | ||
| Of the severity of the situation. | ||
| When I really sit back, especially when I'm fresh in the morning, had a cup of coffee, get up about 5 a.m., family's asleep, go out the back door. | ||
| Don't lie, you pee twice. | ||
| Plunge down into a green belt behind my house. | ||
| Nobody's out there. | ||
| Do a five-mile hike. | ||
| Blood's pumping through my brain. | ||
| I'm fresh, and I just... | ||
| I'm just thinking about everything going on. | ||
| And there's a real feeling of sadness that we've gone this far and it's gotten this bad. | ||
| Here's the good news. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's the good news. | |
| You'll either wake up and fight this or you'll be totally delusional and keep serving it. | ||
| But either way... | ||
| Things are going to get so insane that most people are going to wake up finally. | ||
| Is that good news? | ||
| But then the globalists will have us off the land with kill switches in all the vehicles and all the appliances. | ||
| The infrastructure totally destroyed. | ||
| And then the carrying capacity of the planet will be so devastated in crime and lawlessness will be so pervasive. | ||
| Oh, I'm worried. | ||
| That a lot of countries are going to have to organize a defensive posture, and it'll be a blessing, even though it won't be good, when the globalists release the race-specific bioweapons that wipe out the third world. | ||
| I'm sorry? | ||
| Is this the good news? | ||
| They plan to put the West in a position. | ||
| You're getting the high-level info here. | ||
| And I don't say that again to impress you or brag. | ||
| I'm not impressed. | ||
| That's something you say when you're like, I am out on a limb. | ||
| This is the real shit. | ||
| I am flying solo right now. | ||
| My brain is out on the green belt, baby. | ||
| I forgot my cord for this bungee jump. | ||
| So yeah, the good news is that apparently the globalists are going to genocide, folks. | ||
| Most of the third, if not all. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Of the third world. | ||
| Of which I would probably classify most of us now. | ||
| This is dark and silly. | ||
| For good news, it's awful dark. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I guess if you wanted to take away some of the elements of the genocide stuff there, the good news is that people are going to wake up because things are going to get so bad. | ||
| Well, I mean, in a way, he's kind of saying that what the good news is is that the ratio of people to awake and not awake will have to go up. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But, I mean, that's also just inevitable of murdering all of the not awake people, right? | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And why would the globalists kill the not awake people instead of the awake people? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That doesn't make sense. | ||
| No. | ||
| This is a bad move. | ||
| Yeah, none of the motivations really line up here. | ||
| I've got good news. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| You don't have to worry about it. | ||
| It's all bullshit? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Just they're going to do it to people and you won't have to worry about it. | ||
| Everybody wouldn't even notice that it's happening because it's a race-specific bioweapon. | ||
| Right, but that... | ||
| I mean, here's why it's good. | ||
| The real good news is all this is in Alex's head. | ||
| That is the best news. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Also, have you heard about this fella? | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| We're going to hear a lot about him. | ||
| I believe that. | ||
| So Alex gives himself chills. | ||
| So many chills. | ||
| Because he's just thinking about how right he's been. | ||
| That's not a good reason to feel good. | ||
| I don't know why you would feel anything if you're just obsessing with how right you are. | ||
| What a creepy thing to do. | ||
| I think it's a narcissist thing. | ||
| Yeah, it must be. | ||
| The listeners of this show, the viewers of this show, and other shows like it. | ||
| Some great people out there, a lot of them. | ||
| You're included. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ooh. | |
| Out of all the false political systems, out of all the diversions, and all the thousands of distractions, and all the weird sideshows and boutique movements, the pro-Western, pro-God, anti-New World Order movement really are the people that have been dialed in, and it emanates out of America. | ||
| The best and worst. | ||
| It's a paradox. | ||
| Not how that works. | ||
| We really have been right. | ||
| We really are the mechanics that have proven we know how to fix the car. | ||
| Or you use a nuclear reactor that's melting down, and we're proven engineers that said it was coming, said what the problem was, and we've proven we know how to deactivate and shut down reactors without meltdowns, and we're like, hey, you need to let us in here to fix this right now. | ||
| I'm getting chills. | ||
| We can still turn this around. | ||
| It's still going to be really rough, but man. | ||
| Every month that passes that we don't fully turn this around, I mean, I'm getting full-body chills right now. | ||
| That's the Holy Spirit when you're right over the target. | ||
| It says, that's what you're supposed to say, son. | ||
| So, I am grieving. | ||
| I am frustrated. | ||
| I am angry. | ||
| But also, I'm very pleased because God's real. | ||
| God's been proven to be real. | ||
| And the devil's real, so we know who wins in the end. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So yeah, they're the mechanics. | ||
| They know what to do. | ||
| But what does that mean? | ||
| Like, kick the non-white people out of the country? | ||
| What is his engineering solution that isn't being taken up? | ||
| I don't see any description of themselves as mechanics going to a reactor and saying, let us fix it, that doesn't also include, and the way we fix it is by blowing it up. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know, like, that's their... | ||
| Your problem with your car is that it has an engine. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So fuck this engine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Your problem with your car is you have enough legs to drive it. | ||
| You know what you should be doing? | ||
| God said we should Fred Flintstone this thing and run under the car to make it move. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Don't you get it? | ||
| The problem is modernity. | ||
| The idea of them... | ||
| We will fix the government by destroying it. | ||
| Of all the things that they would think of themselves as, I feel like people who repair things is just off-brand. | ||
| Even for them. | ||
| Like, they can't look at themselves as people who fix things, right? | ||
| Well, I think that they would think that destroying is fixing. | ||
| Well, sure. | ||
| And that's fine, but I mean, you also have to then be like, and here's how we destroy it, or here's how we fix it, is by blowing it up. | ||
| Right, but you don't want people to know that, because that's not a popular solution. | ||
| People would not want you to do that kind of mechanic work. | ||
| Well, that's why people who blow stuff up aren't called mechanics. | ||
| Other people from the outside might look at this as saboteur shit. | ||
| Yeah, they're called explosive experts. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Demolitions folk. | ||
| Like Jesse Ventura under the water. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Alex, he wants the audience to get right with God. | ||
| And he implores them to do so. | ||
| We're going into full bondage if we don't turn around right now and repent. | ||
| So just a little bondage? | ||
| And that's really the main message at the end of the day is get your soul right with God because this is biblical, it's going down, and I'm not attacking mainline Protestant Christians. | ||
| He says, attackingly. | ||
| Or evangelicals, and I'm going to your calls. | ||
| Mike's first. | ||
| That's how I was raised. | ||
| To go to Mike first. | ||
| But anybody can read the Bible. | ||
| And all Paul talks about is how Christians are going to be persecuted. | ||
| And Revelation says, The beast wages war against the saints and overcomes them. | ||
| And there's a tribulation of the Christians. | ||
| Then the archangel comes when God returns and bounds Satan. | ||
| And then the dead in Christ are risen. | ||
| There is no pre-tribulation. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| It isn't there. | ||
| And I get Christians. | ||
| That doctrine's only 160 years old. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| This is older than that now. | ||
| 1830s. | ||
| Got popular in the 1850s and 60s. | ||
| It's about 170, 180 years old. | ||
| Thanks for clarifying. | ||
| It's not there. | ||
| The Orthodox Church doesn't teach it. | ||
| The Catholic Church doesn't teach it because it wasn't there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Catholic Church And so, what happens when the Antichrist shows up and the world government's set up and the Catholic society's there and the Mark of the Beast? | |
| You're going to have all the churches saying, that's Jesus. | ||
| He's returned, folks. | ||
| That's not Jesus. | ||
| That's the devil. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| Fuck, we chunked it. | ||
| So, all I can say to anybody, and I'm done preaching, is you better get right with God. | ||
| Better. | ||
| And don't go for this pre-trib shit. | ||
| Man, you just can't really wrap your head around... | ||
| Just how much of an effect one dude hallucinating on a Greek island had on this entire fucking planet. | ||
| There are a number of things that are involved in scripture that are like, well, there is an inflection point where this happened. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, where this was written down, and I know it's a process over years, and there's a tradition, and manuscripts get passed down. | ||
| But John of Patmos. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| How about that guy? | ||
| How about him? | ||
| And a lot of people just can't handle the tension between the pre and post, man. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I just don't believe Alex's post-trib obsession doesn't have to do with him wanting to go commando. | ||
| It's psychological, right? | ||
| Yeah, he wants to kill. | ||
| It is a description of yourself as a person, whether you're a pre or post-trib rapture, because both of those are absolutely ridiculous equally. | ||
| And he just wants to have that period where, like... | ||
| Justified in righteous violence against the devil and demons. | ||
| Literally, God said it's cool for me to start stabbing people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm cool with it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| What are you going to do? | ||
| Because if there is a pre-trip, he doesn't get to, unless it's proven that he is not a Christian now. | ||
| In order to be a part of the fun, the purge, as it were, it would have to mean that he wasn't one of God's chosen. | ||
| Which means everything he believes now is wrong. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so, here we are. | ||
| He's trapped in a logical dungeon. | ||
| He is. | ||
| Full bondage, if you will. | ||
| And he's also trapped in a situation where he's gotta go to Mike, because that's how he was raised. | ||
| That's how he was raised! | ||
| You gotta go to Mike first! | ||
| And so he does. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
| And Mike brings up Alex's plight. | ||
| Oh, yeah! | ||
| First! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I was really expecting it to be the first person, but then I was like, it's too obvious. | ||
| It's got to be number three, right? | ||
| Rule of threes. | ||
| Nope, right at the gate. | ||
| I asked the callers not to bring this up because that's not what this show is. | ||
| It is. | ||
| The show is about topics and information. | ||
| People are going to be able to believe whatever they want, talk about whatever they want. | ||
| We're here on hundreds of radio stations talking about news. | ||
| People can't tune in. | ||
| All day long and hear about our personal issues. | ||
| If people want to support us, InfowarStore.com. | ||
| If you don't, we'll shut down very soon. | ||
| It's very simple. | ||
| Now, I've asked people politely. | ||
| One more, and you're in charge. | ||
| I'm leaving for a week. | ||
| One more call does it. | ||
| Don't. | ||
| Don't do this. | ||
| Because it's a pointless thing to describe this. | ||
| Don't do this. | ||
| It's a pointless thing to go into it. | ||
| I almost didn't come in today. | ||
| And I'm not quitting. | ||
| I just need to leave. | ||
| Just need to go. | ||
| I just need to leave. | ||
| I just need to leave. | ||
| Mike? | ||
| Mike? | ||
| You could have not done this, but you did. | ||
| I'm not quitting. | ||
| I just need to leave and not come back to this thing. | ||
| Because fuck this. | ||
| Imagine a challenge, and I am there. | ||
| Performing side challenge. | ||
| I don't want to quit doing the challenge. | ||
| I just want to leave and never return to the challenge. | ||
| Do you understand? | ||
| Which you basically have succeeded then. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But there is one point that Alex is making. | ||
| You can kind of tell it's subtly in there. | ||
| And that is, I think I empathize a little bit. | ||
| And that is, people can't tune into the show and constantly just hear us complaining and stuff. | ||
| That's no good for as a show. | ||
| There's a part of Alex that I think he recognizes that, like, why would anyone tune in to listen to this shit when he's just having these spiraling breakdowns about how victimized he is by the world? | ||
| Like, it's not... | ||
| It's not interesting to anybody who's not already fully captive in your cult. | ||
| Yeah, it is very strange for him to be aware of how awful the thing he's doing is as a show, and yet somehow still do it. | ||
| And not be aware while he's doing it. | ||
| He's trying not to, but these callers won't stop bringing it up. | ||
| But that's because you've spent so much time talking about it in the past that they're like, that's all we talk about now, right? | ||
| And because some of it is just politeness. | ||
| It's just hello. | ||
| How are you? | ||
| Hey, Alex, we're rooting for you. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| That kind of thing is just... | ||
| Don't bring it up! | ||
|
unidentified
|
You fucking prick. | |
| I'll leave it for a week because of you. | ||
| Hope you're doing well. | ||
| You brought it up! | ||
| So anyway, Alex descends and it gets worse. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| In fact, I may just leave right now. | ||
| Do it. | ||
| Because I've got to decide when it is shut down. | ||
| They just want to shut it down and then make it look like, you know, that they didn't shut it down because they know it made Tucker Carlson bigger when they shut him down. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| In all kinds and purposes, InfoWars is shut down. | ||
| Okay? | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| They know the finances. | ||
| They set it up that way. | ||
| That's the way it is. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Now. | ||
| The show is not about me. | ||
| I spent five minutes last hour telling people the situation. | ||
| I cannot repeat it over and over again. | ||
| I could not take calls if you'd like. | ||
| If that's what you'd like. | ||
| Is that what you want me to do? | ||
| Is that what you want me to do? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I won't take them. | |
| I'm not going to discuss this again. | ||
| Please, draw it out just a little bit more. | ||
| If people, I understand you're not lawyers. | ||
| You don't know the bankruptcy code. | ||
| I understand all that. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| No more. | ||
| In fact, maybe I should shut it down right now. | ||
| Because that will make everybody happier. | ||
| Yes, it really will. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It will. | |
| That's a literal truth. | ||
| the experts know how to run things better, they can do it. | ||
| I'm going to try a little more here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Let's go ahead and talk to it. | ||
| Cove in Florida. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| Thanks for calling. | ||
| Hello? | ||
| Yes, go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hi, how are you, Alex? | |
| I'm wonderful. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, man. | |
| Well, God bless you, and please, please, please do not shut down, okay? | ||
| We cannot afford you shutting down. | ||
| No, we're being shut down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right. | |
| Okay. | ||
| I'm supposed to pay the bills. | ||
| I don't have the money. | ||
| So they can then say it's my fault when it shuts down because they think the public's that stupid. | ||
| So it's already happening. | ||
| And I said, all right, I got to go to rebroadcast. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Get rebroadcast ready. | ||
| I'm out of here. | ||
| I warned everybody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Slow. | |
| That is... | ||
| That is classic. | ||
| That is Tex Avery shit. | ||
| That is classic cartoons. | ||
| It doesn't get more classic cartoons because it's even got the timing and the cadence of somebody who's like, I'm not bringing it up. | ||
| I am only tertiarily recognizing what it was you were speaking about. | ||
| And again, it's mostly just polite. | ||
| It's mostly just being polite. | ||
| It's more or less, we're rooting for you. | ||
| We're pulling for you, Alex. | ||
| Presumably he had something else to bring up for the call that would have come after this, but no, fuck this. | ||
| I'm out. | ||
| I'm out. | ||
| Alex is just looking for reasons to get mad. | ||
| Oh, God, it's so good, though. | ||
| That is beautiful. | ||
| And so he does leave. | ||
| That is beautiful. | ||
| It really is beautiful. | ||
| It's like an hour into the show or something like that, and he just leaves. | ||
| He plays a long video about how he doesn't like RFK Jr. running a third-party thing. | ||
| A mushroom cloud should have popped out of his head like Yosemite Sam. | ||
| It should have been amazing. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| God, that's so stupid. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's so stupid. | ||
| All right, that's it. | ||
| I said one more. | ||
| I said one more. | ||
| Please don't shut down. | ||
| That's what it was. | ||
| Fuck you. | ||
| I'll see you in hell. | ||
| I'm shutting down just to spite your ass. | ||
| Don't you get it? | ||
| Fuck you. | ||
| Don't you get it? | ||
| We are being shut down. | ||
| It's not my choice. | ||
| You're acting like I have a choice in this. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||

Somehow you being nice has only made me even angrier. | |
| Yeah, I mean, it's such a good little run, a little fun run there. | ||
| Yeah, that was nice. | ||
| Of one call. | ||
| Guy brings the thing up. | ||
| The exact thing Alex said not to bring up. | ||
| He gets mad. | ||
| He's like, alright. | ||
| One more try. | ||
| One more try. | ||
| Guy's polite to him. | ||
| Blows up and leaves. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| Yeah, you know, sometimes you just don't need to write. | ||
| You know, sometimes you just don't need to write. | ||
| You just need to let things happen the way that they need to. | ||
| Yeah, when you're crazy enough and you have no boss and poor impulse control, sometimes... | ||
| Comedy just happens. | ||
| It is so funny. | ||
| You're like, oh, you know, so many sitcom characters wouldn't exist in real life because, you know, they don't have any boss or any impulse control. | ||
| Oh, yeah, that makes a lot of sense now. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| You don't need to write it because... | ||
| So this is why the 14th, there's not a whole lot going on because that just leaves a third of the way into the show. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| And so I decided I was going to try and cover the 15th, too. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| Then I turned on the 15th. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| And Alex is back. | ||
| He doesn't leave for a week. | ||
| He doesn't leave for a week, but he's boring as hell. | ||
| But there's this. | ||
| This commercial is playing at the beginning of the show, and I was just like, I can't do this anymore. | ||
| I gotta go. | ||

| It's unbelievable. | ||
| That's the greatest thing I've ever heard in my entire fucking life. | ||
| That's the greatest thing I have ever fucked up. | ||
| It's not good parody. | ||
| I've never heard in my entire fucking life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The idea that someone sat down to do that is hilarious. | |
| Oh, they hate Klaus Schwab so much. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| There's a couple of context clues that you can take. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that a whole album? | |
| It might as well be. | ||
| I mean, they definitely did too many songs. | ||
| Oh, yeah? | ||
| It is hilarious. | ||
| As you're recognizing the bit, it's hilarious that someone did it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But then it does drag on a little bit. | ||
| Oh, it goes on too long. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And then... | ||
| And there's more, too. | ||
| It keeps going. | ||
| It's even longer than that that I just played. | ||
| But I do think that some song choices indicate age. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And I think the person who made this might be an older person. | ||
| I think... | ||
| You think? | ||
| I think maybe let's talk about sex. | ||
| Not the voice? | ||
| Not the elderly male voice? | ||
| No, I mean, that's just a good Klaus Schwab impression. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| That's good stuff. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| It's unbelievable. | ||
| I've not heard anything on Infowars that made me laugh. | ||
| I'm not laughing at it the way they want me to. | ||
| Oh no. | ||
| Oh no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| It's unlike anything I've ever heard. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| It is like, if you could go back in time to when I had to move back with my parents for like six months after I dropped out of my third college or whatever, and it's 3am in the morning, I'm in my parents' basement, I'm drunk, and there's nothing on the TV but those, just... | ||
| Repeats of the, like, compilation, every good 60s cut kind of commercials. | ||
| Fuck yeah, I love those commercials. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I would watch those just like, fuck it, I've got nothing else to do. | ||
| Living with my folks again, I'd rather die. | ||
| And if that came on, my brain would explode. | ||
| Like, I would never be the same. | ||
| I think that's like what started the 70s, you know? | ||
| Myocarditis. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Like, fucking Ginsburg heard some shit like that and went so insane creatively. | ||
| We created an entire beat movement just to avoid that shit. | ||
| That is incredible. | ||
| It's powerful. | ||
| That is incredible. | ||
| It's poorly written. | ||
| Like, I think the song parodies are forced. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Oh, very. | ||
| And I think... | ||
| My, my, my, my! | ||
| Oh, carditis! | ||
| I think that that's a lot of what is so funny about it. | ||
| First of all, just the idea that someone made Schwab song parodies is pretty funny. | ||
| Yeah, that's great. | ||
| And then the... | ||
| Clunky fucking writing. | ||
| Now, the other thing that I noticed was that all of it is about COVID stuff. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Beginning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And then it goes into that last one. | ||
| There's finance stuff. | ||
| Yeah, it was like CBDCs. | ||
| Central Bank Digital Currency. | ||
| Why did they do that? | ||
| Because Klaus Schwab has his hands in a lot of pies. | ||
| Yeah, he's got a lot going on. | ||
| I think... | ||
| What's the name of the album again? | ||
| The two Schwabs? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Schwab? | |
| No. | ||
| Schwab is... | ||
| Total Schwab? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Total Schwab? | |
| I don't know. | ||
| Total re-swabbed. | ||
| There's another one about, uh, I don't care who you are, where you're from, you will eat some bugs. | ||

|
That's a little, that's underwritten. | |
| I just love, I love the idea of like... | ||
| Because what's great about it is when he was done with the lyrics and then went to record them. | ||
| I nailed this. | ||
| He had them in his hand. | ||
| He was like, this is what I'm going to do. | ||
| No producer giving him notes. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| This is the shit. | ||
| This is in the... | ||
| One take. | ||
| This is DIY mentality. | ||
| This is... | ||
| I mean, the punk scene could learn something from this. | ||
| Listen, Fugazi's first album cost 20 bucks to make. | ||

| What is it? | ||
| How do I get that? | ||
| How do I get the whole album? | ||
| I want that album. | ||
| I don't think the whole album exists. | ||
| Now that's what I call Schwab. | ||
| I think that this exists for the sake of a viral video. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| I don't think someone actually made the whole album. | ||
| I want that album. | ||
| I swear to you, unironically, I would listen to the shit out of that album. | ||
| That album is the kind of thing that belongs in the library, honestly. | ||
| If it was an actual... | ||
| It belongs in a museum! | ||
| Library of Congress. | ||
| I just think about it, too. | ||
| Like, it's so funny that someone did it. | ||
| Because, like, think about back in the days of, like, when David Rockefeller was the great villain. | ||
| Imagine someone making a David Rockefeller sings the hits. | ||
| How embarrassing that would be now. | ||
| These people don't realize how much of a bill of goods they're being sold about Klaus Schwab being the villain. | ||
| They forget that a few years ago no one was talking about Klaus Schwab and in a few years they'll go back to Soros. | ||
| This is so temporary. | ||
| That's part of what makes this so fucking hilarious. | ||
| Just a flash in the pan. | ||
| Perfect fingerprint of this time in conspiracy culture. | ||
| I will say this. | ||
| I will say this, and it's going to break... | ||
| This will specifically break one man's heart. | ||
| The guy who's doing the Klaus impression? | ||
| No. | ||
| Druffy likes to make the funniest Mambo No. 5 jokes. | ||
| And frankly, it's done. | ||
| It's all over. | ||
| Druffy's lost the title of a guy who makes Mambo No. 5 jokes. | ||
| Do you even remember what the Mambo No. 5 parody was? | ||
| God, no. | ||
| There was a parody? | ||
| There's a part of me that still believes that the original song is a joke song. | ||
|

| All the unvaccinated are still alive. | ||

A little bit of Pfizer in my arm. | |
| A little bit of BioNTech does no harm. | ||
| A little Johnson Johnson does the trick. | ||
| A little AstraZeneca so you don't get sick. | ||
| That's actually not bad! | ||
| That's actually the best written one! | ||
| Except for the part where 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, all the unvaccinated are still alive. | ||
| Yeah, sure, that's not true. | ||
| That part's a little bad. | ||
| That's not true, but you do, I mean, yeah, for him, there's not much to rhyme with 5. Listing off the vaccines a little bit, that makes some sense, I guess, except for, like, Mambo No. | ||
| 5, it's like he's banging all those gals. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| You're not taking all of those shots. | ||
| No. | ||
| So that's sort of a failure in the premise. | ||
| But I do... | ||
| But I'm overthinking it a little bit. | ||
| I'm being a stickler. | ||
| I think the ending with sick is not bad. | ||
| It's not bad. | ||
| It's a solid end to the rhyme. | ||
| Mambo number five! | ||
| So anyway, I couldn't do anything after hearing all that. | ||
| No, I can't even focus on much beyond... | ||
| I don't think we've laughed as hard at anything. | ||
| Great as Schwab's. | ||
| In a long time. | ||
| That's so stupid. | ||
| Now that's what I Schwab. | ||
| Music? | ||
| God. | ||
| Man. | ||
| No notes. | ||
| Schwab jams. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Keep them coming. | |
| I swear to you, this is a bottomless well for me. | ||
| You know what's so great, too? | ||
| I am not happy. | ||
| Okay, so this is terrible comedy. | ||
| From the sake of, like, if you're actually trying to create something that is, like, a good parody song. | ||
| Yes, yes, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's very bad. | ||
| But we've seen so many attempts over the years from people like Count Dankula and Carpe Donctum and all these folks trying to be funny and it's not even funny in a laughing at it kind of way. | ||
| This achieves something that I've not really seen out of these ding-dongs in my years of doing it, which is I really do enjoy laughing at it. | ||
| I do too. | ||
| It's so fucking funny. | ||
| I don't think that the right is getting better at comedy or humor, but... | ||
| They're getting the right kind of bad at it. | ||
| That's the trick there. | ||
| That's the trick, because that's, you know, music's really tough. | ||
| Music's really tough, and comedy and music both require a lot of love to kind of do. | ||
| And so whenever you try and combine them, there is a certain sincerity that comes with comedy music, you know? | ||
| It's so vulnerable to try and be funny and try and sing at the same time. | ||
| And to see a man do it like that. | ||
| It's brazen. | ||
| It is. | ||
| There's only two ways to be funny. | ||
| There's as clever and witty and fun and talented as Weird Al, and then there's that. | ||
| Those are the only two funny musician things. | ||
| Back, scenes, back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right! | |
| Oh, man. | ||
| And it's the commitment to and failure to do the Schwab voice that really, over the top. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| God damn it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A triumph. | |
| A triumph. | ||
| That is truly a triumph. | ||
| I heard that for the first time a while back, because I was watching the show live, and I was like, what the fuck is this? | ||
| And then I kept meaning to try and find it, and then it popped up at the beginning of this episode, and I was like, that's as insane as I remember it being. | ||
| I'm never going to be the same after that. | ||
| All Schwab jokes are gone. | ||
| Now there is only one, two, three, four, five. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I want to see more ballad work. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, I want to see some more, like, I want to see some stuff from the Great American Songbook. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| I'm up all night to get Schwabby. | ||

| Oh, God. | ||
| There's just endless potential. | ||
| I mean, yeah. | ||
| Fill in your blanket, hope. | ||
| I was trying to think of a way to make parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, but switch it with, like, snake venom, the devil, and things that are in the next scene. | ||
| Nightshade blood! | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||

| This has been something, and I'm glad we could break your brain on the way out. | ||
