|
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, is... | ||
| In the mailbag. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| In the mailbag. | ||
| Mailbag. | ||
| Mailbag. | ||
| We have a swamp where we keep the mail. | ||
| That would be a fun place to keep mail. | ||
| It preserves dead bodies, I've heard. | ||
| And chocolate. | ||
| And chocolate. | ||
| We got a wonderful package from Germany, from Kirsten, full of chocolatey wonders. | ||
| So much chocolate. | ||
| I did eat... | ||
| Okay, so there was Snickers. | ||
| There was the Snickers, that's right. | ||
| And there was a... | ||
| The German one, though. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Supposedly different. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't think it was different. | ||
| I think it was the same. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Well, I think that's good. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Uniformity. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| Check it off the list. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Quality control. | ||
| Every time I hear US has bad chocolate, I get sad. | ||
| Gigantic box of candy. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That is ridiculous. | ||
| It's going to kill me, probably. | ||
| Yeah, probably. | ||
| But I appreciate it. | ||
| Now, one of the things that I appreciate the most about this is there were a bunch of Ritter Sports. | ||
| And I like Ritter Sport. | ||
| Wide variety of flavors. | ||
| I enjoy them quite a bit. | ||
| Missing the best. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Cornflake Butterbiscuit. | ||
| Those are the two. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So good. | |
| So good. | ||
| So fucking good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So good. | |
| I just imagined that is the Neil Diamond song. | ||
| So good! | ||
| So good! | ||
| So, yeah, those were the only two that weren't included, and so I had to supplement them by going out and buying them to add to the stack. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| The little stacky. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| But one of the things that I found really interesting is that there is a flavor called Hola Amigos, a crispy banana. | ||
| And I have not tried this yet. | ||
| And I figured, why not let you vamp for a minute and I will try this on air and give my sincere reaction. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Here's what's great about this. | ||
| I have a related, not related, but similar chocolate scenario going on. | ||
| A chocolate scenario, you say? | ||
| A chocolate scenario. | ||
| Yes, I do say. | ||
| I went to buy my wife some chocolate. | ||
| She's allergic to peanuts, right? | ||
| But I love peanuts. | ||
| Racist peanut butter cup's my favorite thing. | ||
| So I got this like... | ||
| Wound up getting like this five pound variety bag, right? | ||
| So you got your Hershey's Kisses. | ||
| I'll try some later. | ||
| For the listeners, Dan offered me a piece. | ||
| I will try some later off air. | ||
| For some, you know, half of it, you got your Hershey's Kisses. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You got your regular chocolate bars. | ||
| The other half, you got your Mr. Good Bars. | ||
| You got your Reese's Peas. | ||
| That's got peanuts in it. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| You know how many out of this like five pound bag? | ||
| Three fun size Mr. Good Bars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Three. | |
| That's it. | ||
| Out of a five-pound bag, three fun-sized Mr. Goodbar. | ||
| People are not fans of the Goodbar. | ||
| Mr. Goodbar's great! | ||
| It is great. | ||
| Mr. Greatbar! | ||
| But it's low on the tier of candy bars. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| It's one that people forget exists. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Let's be honest. | ||
| But you put three in there because they're too good. | ||
| That's what you do. | ||
| It's pretty boring. | ||
| If I'm being honest. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Not a ton of texture. | ||
| The peanuts don't add that much texture. | ||
| Holy shit. | ||
| I love a Mr. Goodbar. | ||
| So what about almonds? | ||
| What about almonds? | ||
| I like a good almond. | ||
| No, I mean for your wife. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| She's fine with almonds. | ||
| So you could have an almond joy. | ||
| Oh, we do the almonds. | ||
| In case you feel like a nut. | ||
| We do the hazelnuts. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Walnuts. | ||
| Most nuts, but not peanuts. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Because peanuts are a legume. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| Alright, so I'm going to try this crispy banana. | ||
| For those with misophonia, I'm not going to chew into the mic. | ||
| Hola, amigos. | ||
| Now, I ask you this question. | ||
| The banana suggests that it's Central American Spanish, right? | ||
| As opposed to Spain, the country very near to Germany, right? | ||
| Alright, Dan is giving me some big looks. | ||
| Maybe thinking he shouldn't have shoved the entire piece into his mouth all at once. | ||
| Now he's doing some ape... | ||
| I've been transformed into a gorilla. | ||
| Now he's chewing into the mic against his wishes. | ||
| It's not great. | ||
| It's not great? | ||
| No. | ||
| It's sort of freeze-dried banana. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| That's how you'd get it crispy. | ||
| Yeah, how else would they... | ||
| But in doing so, you lose a little bit of the banana flavor. | ||
| There isn't a whole lot of banana going on, but maybe that's to its... | ||
| Can you deep fry a banana? | ||
| Oh, you can deep fry anything. | ||
| Well, I understand you can put anything into a deep fryer, but have you had a deep fried banana? | ||
| I have not. | ||
| I assume... | ||
| I mean, if you can deep fry a stick of butter, you can deep fry a banana. | ||
| Or a German Snickers bar. | ||
| Or a German Snickers bar. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Speaking of deep frying, the other day, I did some frying for the first time in a really long time. | ||
| In your pan? | ||
| Yeah, no, in a... | ||
| In a fryer? | ||
| No, in a pot. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| So you're full oil putting it... | ||
| Okay, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. | ||
| Yeah, I was overcome by an urge to make chili oil. | ||
| And so I got the ingredients, chopped them up, fried them in the oil, and then strained it, fried some other stuff in the oil to season it all up and everything. | ||
| And it was an interesting experience because I think it turned out pretty well, but way too much shallots. | ||
| I don't work with shallots, generally. | ||
| And then my house smelled... | ||
| Like shallots for a day and a half. | ||
| You have to commit to the shallot. | ||
| We love to add a little fried shallot on top of a steak, you know? | ||
| Get a little texture. | ||
| Get that nice little. | ||
| But you're going to smell shallot-y for a while. | ||
| And I think that it overpowered the chili oil a little bit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ah, that's so good. | |
| Like, it's quite hot, which I was going for. | ||
| But then, yeah, the garlic isn't really as much in play as the shallot. | ||
| So I'm going to tweak it. | ||
| I got some more oil, and I'm going to make another batch. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| Yeah, so I'm going to maybe do some... | ||
| Bespoke chili oils. | ||
| I think that's really fun. | ||
| I've never made an oil. | ||
| For all the cooking I've done, I've never reduced an oil. | ||
| It was really, really easy in terms of steps. | ||
| Put stuff in a pan, and then pour it out. | ||
| I mean, that's a lot of it. | ||
| And then you can do all kinds of other things to add and accentuate and tweak things. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| One of the things that I saw a lot of people were recommending was the Szechuan peppercorn in order to get a little bit of that mouth tingle. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| But I couldn't find any at short notice. | ||
| Big jeers, Aldi. | ||
| Aldi? | ||
| No Szechuan peppercorn? | ||
| I even looked around on Instacart at some of the more fancier and international grocery stores. | ||
| I wasn't able to find anything that would be delivered, so I had to go without. | ||
| Brutal. | ||
| But yeah, so I guess that's another bright spot, is making chili oil. | ||
| Yeah, that's nice. | ||
| But yeah, that banana is okay. | ||
| Thank you, Kirsten, for the chocolates. | ||
| Yes, thank you very much. | ||
| Although I do think it was a bribe trying to get us to do a show in Germany. | ||
| It's not failed yet. | ||
| That is from the note. | ||
| I'm taking away from this that this is, now we have to do a show in Germany. | ||
| I will say that it has definitely made it closer to the top of the list. | ||
| I would love to say guten tag to the good chocolate people. | ||
| Ooh, I wouldn't mind going to Berlin. | ||
| I wouldn't mind going to Berlin. | ||
| You're a Berliner. | ||
| I'd love to. | ||
| Ich bin! | ||
| And then I end the statement. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I think that Germany is an attractive place. | ||
| For a number of reasons. | ||
| But sauerkraut is unacceptable. | ||
| True. | ||
| Oh yeah, you guys are going to have to get rid of that before we come. | ||
| It might be disqualifying. | ||
| Listen, if the country of Germany is willing to suspend sauerkraut sales and purchase it. | ||
| I don't even want to smell it. | ||
| I don't want it in the country for at least two days. | ||
| Two days before we get there or two days afterwards. | ||
| Then you can resume all sauerkraut activities. | ||
| You know what my problem with it is? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Too sour. | ||
| Too sour? | ||
| You know my problem? | ||
| Too kraut. | ||
| So anyway, what's your Bridespot? | ||
| My Bridespot is my wife and I are headed up to Toronto. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Going to spend the next few days in Toronto hanging out, walking the city. | ||
| That's always a nice little thing to get out of the country on a whim. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because you just told me like three days ago that you were going to do this. | ||
| I did do that. | ||
| That is how it works generally. | ||
| Which is great for planning. | ||
| Well, I mean, when I tell you stuff a month in advance, then you forget about it. | ||
| And then I tell you three days in advance and you're like, you just told me that three days in advance. | ||
| But you didn't do that this time. | ||
| I did not do that this time. | ||
| I was testing it out. | ||
| It works worse this way. | ||
| It works worse this way. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| Because if you advise me a month in advance, then you could remind me like two weeks in advance. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| But I'm not mad at you. | ||
| No, I'm recognizing where I failed in many places. | ||
| It's okay. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But yeah, it'll be a nice trip. | ||
| Do you have any sites you plan on seeing in particular? | ||
| You know, I think... | ||
| I don't know why this popped into my head, but there is supposed to be the best escape room in the world in Toronto, and I wanted to go, and I wanted to set us up in advance, but you have to have a party of four, and it's just the two of us. | ||
| And my dogs do not count. | ||
| They don't count. | ||
| Don't count. | ||
| They would contribute. | ||
| I would have been like, hey, I'll buy them a ticket. | ||
| Does your wife like an escape room? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I've never been in an escape room. | ||
| I wouldn't know anyway. | ||
| I was just like, hey. | ||
| You're my best friend. | ||
| Listen. | ||
| And I mean this with all due respect. | ||
| I think that if I was the third, I would probably dive through the wall. | ||
| I think you two would be insufferable in an escape room. | ||
| I'm fine with that. | ||
| You would have a lot of energy not solving anything. | ||
| Your wife would probably just get mad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, come on. | |
| I'm not sure. | ||
| I would love it. | ||
| I love solving little puzzles. | ||
| I've never been in an escape room, so you may be right, but I wouldn't even have the context to, like... | ||
| When we went to that VR bar, they had digital escape rooms. | ||
| But we didn't do it. | ||
| Right, I know. | ||
| Yeah, we were going to, but then they were like, oh, you have to set up an... | ||
| If we would have known, we could have done that. | ||
| We could have done it. | ||
| Then we would have figured out how we all behave in closed spaces. | ||
| And then we could have gotten rid of this whole Toronto trip in the first place. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| Now I wouldn't have to. | ||
| But I hope you have a great trip. | ||
| And then Thanksgiving is coming up after that. | ||
| So this is by way of us kind of saying that we're going to be probably off this week. | ||
| Yeah, probably. | ||
| Probably not have any episodes. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| Which also leads us to... | ||
| This episode. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And therein lies the rub. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So this episode is an episode that is coming fresh off the heels of us recording something that didn't quite work out. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| And so we have an episode that is no good. | ||
| You know what's fun about us, though? | ||
| At least whenever our episodes don't work out, we did spend an hour and a half on them. | ||
| True. | ||
| True. | ||
| It did not pan out, and we were thinking about re-recording it, and that possibility is no fun, because if you've heard something, you can't react organically to it, and not for nothing, the subject matter was horrible. | ||
| No, and then it would turn into us recapping our own show about another show. | ||
| At the beginning of this, when we were talking about our bright spots, my initial bright spot was also the chocolate, and I felt myself saying the same things that I said the first time around. | ||
| And it gets in your head, and you're like, well, I know this is a show, but also the part of the show is that we're just ourselves and not like... | ||
| And you especially are responding in the moment to things, and it's very difficult to do a second time. | ||
| Which is why it's always funny when people are like, you're doing two live shows, are they going to be the same show? | ||
| Can't imagine how miserable that would be. | ||
| So unfortunately, the episode that we were going to do covering November 17th is no more. | ||
| Rest in peace. | ||
| If you're curious. | ||
| It's very antisemitic. | ||
| If you're curious. | ||
| If you want to go hear Alex be an antisemitic pile of shit, go ahead. | ||
| Check that episode out. | ||
| You can find it on band.video. | ||
| You won't enjoy it, I'm sure. | ||
| Imagine being trapped in a room with a Nazi who can't... | ||
| Stop talking. | ||
| And one of the problems that I have with it, too, is that it's not really all that different than stuff we've covered in the past as well. | ||
| And I feel like a lot of stuff we'll touch on again in the future. | ||
| I would not be surprised. | ||
| So, I was thinking about this, and we're at however many minutes, 13 or so, into the episode here, and we have to give the people something. | ||
| Yeah, we can't just do a non-episode. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so, here's the situation. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| When the episode crapped out, there was something coming up that you hadn't heard. | ||
| I hadn't heard it. | ||
| That I do think is something that will blow your mind. | ||
| Alright, I'm in. | ||
| Well, actually, there's a couple of things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| That are actually kind of not related to the matter of the episode. | ||
| We're going to wind up doing an hour long, this isn't an episode. | ||
| We absolutely might. | ||
| So Alex is deeply anti-Semitic throughout the entirety of the episode. | ||
| And then, in order to... | ||
| He said he was going to go to calls throughout the entire show. | ||
| He did. | ||
| At the beginning of the show, I do remember he said that he's gotten rid of all of his guests. | ||
| He cleared the tables. | ||
| Only calls. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then instead of going to calls, he decides to ramble a whole bunch. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And it turns out... | ||
| He is going to have to sell a bunch of his stuff, probably, in order to help pay off the creditors in the Sandy Hook case. | ||
| So he has like a, I had a lake house. | ||
| I had boats. | ||
| And all this. | ||
| And he gets into this headspace. | ||
| The crunchies. | ||
| The rocks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He gets into this headspace where he's like, you think I give a fuck? | |
| You think I care about selling my boats? | ||
| I don't! | ||
| Yes, you do. | ||
| And then he starts talking about what God told him to do. | ||
| And if so, I think that God is going to get served. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-oh. | |
| Oh no. | ||
| So when I tell you, folks, my back's against the wall. | ||
| When I tell you I'm completely maxed out, a $30,000 boat, a $50,000 car, a lake cottage, which I don't even go to, have it all. | ||
| What I care about, and imagine them spending $40 million the last year and a half in the bankruptcy against me. | ||
| $50 million in the five years before suing us and trying to shut us down. | ||
| They've spent $90 million in five years trying to shut us down. | ||
| In court filings. | ||
| $90 million. | ||
| Aren't you going to pay that anyways? | ||
| And we've spent $20 million battling them because the goal wasn't to keep the crap. | ||
| The goal, what we knew it was all rigged, it was to play it out, and knowing it was rigged, with judges that found me guilty, and just knowing the world would move on. | ||
| God told me, God said, it's all going to be rigged. | ||
| Everything you got is going to be taken. | ||
| Literally, this was five years ago. | ||
| You understand this, and then by the time they win, the whole world will wake up, and it'll be a whole new ballgame. | ||
| And God was right again. | ||
| That's not my brain coming up with that. | ||
| That is... | ||
| The Holy Spirit, Jehovah, Yahweh, whatever you want to call the Big Spirit, literally told me, you just hold on, and we will win. | ||
| Your message will win. | ||
| My message will win. | ||
| Are you ready to get tortured? | ||
| I was going to say. | ||
| Are you ready to die? | ||
| Yes, sir, I am. | ||
| Okay, well, I'll probably spare you a Jobian trial, but you're going to have a big one. | ||
| And literally, the Holy Spirit even says that, like... | ||
| So he's not going to kill your kids? | ||
| It's a free will thing. | ||
| Don't tempt me too much, son. | ||
| Why is God threatening people all the time? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Okay, well, we're not going to probably do that. | ||
| But it's literally that level. | ||
| I'm like, the globalists are attacking me and I'm like communing with the creator of the universe and God's angels and literally giving next level understanding over the horizon psychic power. | ||
| This guy doesn't sound well. | ||
| Man, this is a lunatic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Yes, it is. | ||
| Also, I fucking love the idea that he's being like, God told me to stall. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| All those things, all those times that I got sanctioned by the court, it was because God told me not to cooperate with Discovery. | ||
| I think Alex has kind of put it in an interesting way, though. | ||
| There's something very interesting in the way that he's put that, right? | ||
| It's like... | ||
| That they've spent $90 million in court filings and all that stuff. | ||
| I'm not entirely sure that that's even accurate. | ||
| I don't know where that number is coming from. | ||
| The number doesn't mean anything. | ||
| What means something is that they spent money in filings. | ||
| The way you phrase that only is correct if there's an outcome that's in doubt. | ||
| Otherwise, Alex, you spent $20 million forcing them to keep looking for your $20 million. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And the stalling made it possible that you are now on the hook for their legal filings. | ||
| Yes, the whole thing is, once again, your fault. | ||
| The advice that God gave you made you responsible for the $90 million that they spent. | ||
| I don't know how many times or how many different ways we can get to this, but there are things called consequences to your actions. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| It's just what it is. | ||
| It is fascinating the way he's personifying God like this, though. | ||
| I just see God with a clipboard being like, oh, you want the murder option? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it's... | ||
| Oh, alright, maybe we won't go that path then, son. | ||
| I don't appreciate how not omniscient Alex's God is. | ||
| Omniscience is one of the number one things that I'm looking for in a God. | ||
| You should already know. | ||
| It's up there. | ||
| You should already know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, we should be past this. | ||
| And Alex's God is like, I don't know, we could go one way, we could go the other. | ||
| What do you want? | ||
| I got a suite of options for you. | ||
| Let me pull open my tackle box. | ||
| This is from 19... | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| This is the problem with believing in an omnipotent, omniscient, omno... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, this is the kind of box you get yourself into. | ||
| Can't do it. | ||
| One way or the other. | ||
| Well, no, there is a way around it. | ||
| And that's kind of more fun. | ||
| And that is that God does know exactly what's going to happen, and he's fucking with Alex. | ||
| Yes, yes. | ||
| He's pretending not to know some kind of a pageant for Alex. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because he knows the psychology of the individual will be enticed by this. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But again, he also created that... | ||
| I can't even handle it. | ||
| I mean, God likes fun. | ||
| Can God make an asshole so gullible even God can't trick him? | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| Never mind. | ||
| Can God put on a performance that is so captivating that even he loses himself in the scene of trying to trick Alex? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That would be an interesting one. | ||
| That's a good paradox for you, God. | ||
| I thought this was... | ||
| a man in trouble. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
From a mental perspective. | |
| Usually. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think if you were somebody who is listening to a person like this who has opinions that range from the bigoted to the anti-Semitic back to the bigoted. | |
| True. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you hear him talk about how God is giving him otherworldly psychic abilities and then laughing about, ha, ha, ha, ha, the globalists think I care about a boat. | |
| Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You kind of have to either... | |
| Think he's nuts. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Or think he's right, and that he is in direct contact with God on a pretty regular basis, and God is giving him gifts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And then you've got to wrestle with the reality of that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because you can't go back from believing that Alex talks to God. | ||
| There's no going back. | ||
| Well, what you'd be required to do is write an amendment to the Bible and the book of Alex. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It has to be. | |
| Quite frankly, because he's one of the most important prophets in the history of Christianity. | ||
| All the time. | ||
| Like best buddies, too. | ||
| Direct messages with specific step-by-step instructions, and yet somehow he still fails. | ||
| God is taking a very vested interest in Alex's legal troubles. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| And yet a very ineffective interest, which is the strangest thing about God. | ||
| That's because you don't get it. | ||
| I don't get it. | ||
| I don't get it. | ||
| You're looking for an outcome based on the case. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| The only outcome God was looking for was stall this baby. | ||
| Because they just needed time. | ||
| That's what it was all about. | ||
| The case was rigged. | ||
| You heard God told Alex that the case was rigged. | ||
| No, totally. | ||
| He's just looking for time. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stall. | |
| Stall. | ||
| Keep him on the line. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| So many things that God needs to reassure Alex of. | ||
| Such an uncertain... | ||
| Insecure God. | ||
| So uncertain and so insecure, I can only think of one other person. | ||
| Oh, yeah? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Just one. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Well, we have one other clip that I thought was worth maybe two. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But anyway, Alex has some ways that he wants to make money. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And, you know, we have the pills. | ||
| Why not stealing? | ||
| Why hasn't he gone with crime? | ||
| Oh, he has done that. | ||
| No, I know, but I mean, like, I want... | ||
| Bank robbery? | ||
| I want... | ||
| I want cat burglary. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't think Alex is a second story man. | ||
| No, that's true. | ||
| I can tell you that. | ||
| But Chase Geyser, that's the name of a second story man. | ||
| Chase Geyser's a face man. | ||
| Chase Geyser is the confidence guy who's talking up the head of the household while you're upstairs stealing the jewels. | ||
| There's other ways to make money. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And one of them is a video game. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| You know, we're up against the biggest banks and most powerful companies in the world. | ||
| Despite that, we've stayed on air. | ||
| It's like President Trump is a man of steel and keeps fighting forward. | ||
| But I just want to thank Jack Posobiec, Mark Dice. | ||
| And Russell Brown, countless other people that are promoting AlexJonesGame.com, they see it as a way to keep us on air and fund us. | ||
| It's a great, fun video game, very politically incorrect. | ||
| So we're going to play a game, and it's got a huge voiceover on it. | ||
| It's like a book on tape on top of the game. | ||
| And then keep something important like this on the air. | ||
| So if you're on the fence about going to AlexJonesGame.com for 1776 and getting the game, you're crazy. | ||
| Please go to 1776 game. | ||
| Please go to alexjonesgame.com. | ||
| What's the game? | ||
| Did you play it? | ||
| No. | ||
| It cost $17.76. | ||
| I'm sorry, what? | ||
| I'm not paying that shit. | ||
| You cost money? | ||
| Oh yeah, it's expensive too. | ||
| Oh, I thought it was like a Flash game. | ||
| It looks like it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, I think it is. | ||
| I mean, I think that maybe there's a little bit more in it than like a normal, just like no effort game. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But yeah, I saw some screenshots of it. | ||
| There's like Hillary is a witch in it that you fight. | ||
| And, you know, Alex has a bunch of guns and stuff. | ||
| I imagine it's like a reindeer hunter, you know. | ||
| I don't know that game. | ||
| It's the one where you're a reindeer and you shoot humans. | ||
| It's a side-scroller kind of shooting kind of thing. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I don't know, double dragon ass. | ||
| Okay, all right. | ||
| But with Alex. | ||
| Both Alex. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And some InfoWars inside jokes. | ||
| Probably a Klaus Schwab in there. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| Probably a Soros. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's... | |
| Yeah, I... | ||
| I actually think that's pretty cool, I guess, in terms of, like, ways that he can desperately flail around and try to make money. | ||
| I just think the price point's too high. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, of all the things that I could imagine being benign, that's, yeah, great. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I honestly, if it was, like, four bucks, I probably would have played it. | ||
| Yeah, I agree. | ||
| I probably would have paid that to play just to talk about. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| For the show, but... | ||
| 1776 is fucking crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Too high. | |
| Crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I was... | ||
| I think it's hubris, quite frankly. | ||
| Man, what if he just... | ||
| And here's the other problem, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like, it's a game about Alex Jones put out by God knows who. | ||
| I can't imagine that's in the Nintendo store or any consoles. | ||
| I very much doubt it. | ||
| Probably just on the computer, right? | ||
| I would imagine so. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| A lot of people PC game. | ||
| What do you think the speedrun's gonna be on the InfoWars game? | ||
| That actually would be something. | ||
| I bet if I really worked my ass off and speedran that game, I could get into a... | ||
| I feel like that prank might be worth $17.76. | ||
| That actually might be. | ||
| It's not worth it to play it. | ||
| If I did Alex Jones as the game at GDQ... | ||
| I think there's a lot of fun in thinking about that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Do not do that. | ||
| And if you have the idea to, don't. | ||
| No. | ||
| I mean, I think that the curiosity of what the game is is satisfied by looking at some of the screenshots of it. | ||
| And boy, it's a high bill of entry. | ||
| If you want to see what the game is like, see what Russell Brand says about it. | ||
| You get it? | ||
| But why? | ||
| Do you think he's a gamer? | ||
| Because I think Russell Brand loves... | ||
| Video games. | ||
| No, man, I want to see what, like, real gamers think. | ||
| Oh, you want, like, what's the Kotaku review of? | ||
| 9.9. | ||
| Yeah, right? | ||
| IGN's game of the year. | ||
| Sit down, Baldur's Gate 3. Here comes Alex's novelty vanity bullshit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yep. | |
| But yeah, in terms of, like you were saying, inoffensive ways to make money. | ||
| I think the selling of the challenge coins and stuff was a little desperate and clearly massively overpriced for a little bit of silver and scamming people on that front. | ||
| In the books, he has the markup of, if you get an autographed book, it goes from 30 to 100. | ||
| It's a little bit of a steep markup. | ||
| But yeah, at least you get to play it. | ||
| I mean, as I'm going through this, I'm thinking that of all the things that he has produced, this one has legitimate value equivalent to that of a real-life product because... | ||
| We're assuming. | ||
| Well, that's a good point. | ||
| We're assuming it's playable and enjoyable. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| Assuming that is the case, right? | ||
| This is a thing that is not in any way taking away from the person playing it. | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| As opposed to the book, which is taking away your time and your ability to learn ever again. | ||
| And you're not going to actually read it. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| The coin doesn't do anything, and it's not worth anything. | ||
| No, but I do still want them. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| But the game, you can function. | ||
| It's like if you got an InfoWars-branded baseball bat, you'd be like, yes, this can hit baseballs. | ||
| It works for the thing that it's supposed to be. | ||
| That's exactly what it's supposed to do. | ||
| Yeah, it's just the price is too high. | ||
| It's just too high. | ||
| It's just the markup is unacceptable. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anyway, maybe one day they'll figure it out. | ||
| Or find some way to make it steal your soul. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So we do have another clip. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because there are a few here at the end that we didn't get to before we crapped out. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And this one is Alex thinking about the old timers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Thinking about the old timers? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| They think... | ||
| Taking money away from us breaks us. | ||
| It makes us even stronger. | ||
| But we just need the listeners to know we're in the 11th hour, 58th minute right now. | ||
| This is going down, folks. | ||
| And as evil as the old-timers told me the Globals were, and they were badasses. | ||
| The old-timers I was trained by were the best men ever in modern history in this country. | ||
| And I still thought they're exaggerating. | ||
| These old men are exaggerating. | ||
| They weren't exaggerating 1%. | ||
| They were giving me the straight. | ||
| And I just look around at everybody else. | ||
| I'm so blessed. | ||
| My grandfathers. | ||
| My uncles. | ||
| My father. | ||
| They all know more than I know right now. | ||
| A bunch of them are dead. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I just look back and I say, my God. | ||
| I was born smack dab in the middle of people who knew what was going on. | ||
| That makes me feel sorry for the average person who has no idea what they're up against. | ||
| The feeling is not mutual. | ||
| Because it's going to get rough, folks. | ||
| It's going to be bad. | ||
| That's all I can tell you. | ||
| I'm not going to lie to you. | ||
| And if we could... | ||
| Trump's not perfect by a mile, but man, neither am I. And neither are you. | ||
| You said it. | ||
| They're so damn scared of him because he made America open for business. | ||
| His weak spot is he wants to be a hero, so he went along with her shot. | ||
| We already know all that. | ||
| Trump told me. | ||
| Because I made it up. | ||
| If I'm going to get more advice from you and more you criticizing me, I don't want to hear from you ever again. | ||
| He's a pig. | ||
| We're all pigs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| But the point is, he's our pig. | ||
| He's our pig. | ||
| So that's an interesting revelation that we haven't had from Alex before about Trump, but that's why I thought it was worthwhile to play for you, and that is that he's like, if you're going to criticize me, I don't want to hear from you ever again. | ||
| I don't think that's true, but it's an interesting way that Alex is framing the reason why they aren't best friends. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I was too critical of him, and he's a pig-nosed guy who can't take criticism. | ||
| That's a pretty big failure on his part. | ||
| I think that's a big problem. | ||
| Yeah, you know, it's occurring to me now how often Alex frames the world like that. | ||
| If you do this... | ||
| Then that is why I'm doing this, right? | ||
| Like, he doesn't take agency. | ||
| He doesn't say, like, this is what I'm going to do. | ||
| Regardless, it's always in response to you doing this, then I'm okay to do whatever I want to do. | ||
| Do you know what I mean? | ||
| I got the clearance. | ||
| God gave me the clearance. | ||
| He needs everything to be pre-justified in order to do something. | ||
| He can't imagine just doing something regardless. | ||
| Whether it's good or evil, just doing it. | ||
| Just fucking doing it, man. | ||
| Globalists took their gloves off. | ||
| Yeah, it has to be that. | ||
| Well, I think that that is part of his worldview being entirely made up. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Everything is reactive to the imaginary enemy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Nothing in this is, like, Alex doesn't exist without the globalists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right! | |
| Like, there is no reason for an info war if it weren't for the construction of these imaginary boogeymen. | ||
| Naturally. | ||
| So, of course, he has to be fully reactive and never acting of his own volition. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And, like, because he wants to, or whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's always the response to something else. | ||
| Even in relation with Trump. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Weak. | ||
| That's weak tea, man. | ||
| It is not. | ||
| Take some control of your life. | ||
| It does seem to indicate that maybe there isn't as much free will as Alex likes to obsess about. | ||
| He's got to get a different God. | ||
| He's got to get more free will. | ||
| What kind of choices has Alex actually made? | ||
| He bought that tank. | ||
| I was going to say, that was my first thought of all the choices I can think of that Alex has actually made is he bought blank. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He bought a tank. | ||
| No one told him to do that. | ||
| No one told him to do that. | ||
| Well, actually, no, that was reactive to things. | ||
| Oh, that's true. | ||
| Because he was going out and Antifa was menacing him and he feared for his life. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, we come to the end of this. | ||
| Yes, we did. | ||
| And, you know. | ||
| I regret on some level that we played some clips and we're not going to go back and play the others. | ||
| Ah, yeah! | ||
| But like I said, the magic of hearing things for the first time is essential. | ||
| I can say this. | ||
| Here's the true magic that we have given the listeners, right? | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Whatever they imagine will be so much better than the reality of what it was they would have gotten. | ||
| I think that's probably true. | ||
| I mean, I don't think it's possible for them to imagine worse. | ||
| I mean, content-wise? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, not for us. | ||
| Not for us. | ||
| Like, you wouldn't not enjoy the show, but so much as, like, you know, whatever you imagined the show would be is better. | ||
| You dodged a bullet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, you did good. | |
| You dodged a bullet. | ||
| You did good. | ||
| What you get is good, and what you missed is not. | ||
| No. | ||
| And you can imagine that what you missed was better. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that is the human experience. | ||
| That is what we should all be thankful for this time of year. | ||
| That's the lesson that we're all going to take to tea day. | ||
| Yeah, but I hope you have a good vacay. | ||
| Yes, thank you very much. | ||
| It probably would have been better if you told me a little bit ahead of time, but we'll figure that out. | ||
| We'll live. | ||
| Next performance review, we'll go over this. | ||
| Yeah, we'll figure that one out. | ||
| But yeah, we'll be back. | ||
| Until then, though, we have a website. | ||
| Indeed we do. | ||
| It's knowledgefight.com. | ||
| Yep, we're also on Twitter. | ||
| We are on Twitter. | ||
| It's at knowledge underscore fight. | ||
| Yep, we'll be back. | ||
| But until then, I'm Neo. | ||
| I'm Leo. | ||
| I'm DZX Clark. | ||
| In this instance, because this episode is so short, I feel an obligation to put a bit here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But my mind, my mind does not allow it. | |
| I have no bits in my mind, Jordan. | ||
| Jordan! | ||

|
Jordan! | |
| Woo! | ||
| Yeah! | ||

unidentified
|
Woo! | |
| Yeah! | ||
| Woo! | ||
| And now here comes the sex robots. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||

Hello, Alex. | |
| I'm a first time caller. | ||

I'm a huge fan. | |
| I love your work. |
