#886: More Like Jimmy Bore, Part 2

#886: More Like Jimmy Dore, Part 2 dissects Alex Jones’s debunked claims—$40B California surplus misdirection, Rothschild ownership of AP/Reuters, and the "Kalergi Plan"—while Jordan Holmes and Dan Friesen expose their roots in Nazi propaganda and anti-Semitic tropes. Jones ties immigration to climate denialism, falsely linking Bill Gates’ nanotech patents to vaccines, a lie traced to Robert Malone’s photoshopped substack. Jimmy Dore’s uncritical nodding reveals opportunistic alignment over substance, as his past pro-immigration stances clash with Alex’s performative outrage. Their mockery of Jones’s oxygen-deprivation hallucinations—blamed for his conspiracy theories—culminates in a critique of his shifting, audience-driven narratives, from COVID denialism to climate denialism, all while avoiding Tucker Carlson’s even wilder claims.

I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys.
Shang, we are the bad guys.

Hello, Alex.
I'm a fish in Colorado Angels here.
alex jones
Knowledge fight.
Knowledgefight.com.
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple dudes.
Like to sit around, worship at the altar of Celine, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Oh, indeed, we are.
unidentified
Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
Quick question for you.
dan friesen
What's up?
jordan holmes
What's your bright spot today, buddy?
dan friesen
Well, my bright spot today, I've already actually talked to you a little bit about.
I watched the entire first season of Traders.
jordan holmes
On my recommendation.
dan friesen
I'd had it recommended before, isn't it?
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
That's true.
And it first came to my attention.
My headphones have now come unplugged.
jordan holmes
Oh, they're in the wrong ear.
They're in the wrong ear, buddy.
You keep them in your right ear.
This is what happens when you switch headphones.
All right.
You think you got to put it in the left ear, but it goes in the right.
And here we are.
Change is wrong.
dan friesen
So now I've got the left earphone over my right ear.
It's backwards now.
jordan holmes
Oh, my God.
You're killing me.
dan friesen
Yeah, but it's how it has to be because the chord has to be over here.
jordan holmes
There's no way around it.
Yeah, it has to be.
dan friesen
So no, I first heard of the show, I think, because I heard that Parvity from Survivor was going to be on season two.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And so I was like, what's this now?
What's this show?
And so I had it in my mind, but then I think it was your recommendation that might have put me over the edge.
True.
But yeah, I watched all of it.
It's fine.
Good.
jordan holmes
Alan Cumming.
It doesn't get better.
dan friesen
He's good.
jordan holmes
Doesn't get better.
dan friesen
Snazzy dress.
jordan holmes
I could listen to him say murder about 300 times a night.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And he can, you know, you can tell a lot of the times when someone isn't enjoying hosting a show and he's having a blast.
jordan holmes
Yeah, there's some time, you know, like with that 007 show where Brian Cox was clearly like, you are paying me way too much money to use zero amount of my talent on this.
Fuck it.
Let's ride.
dan friesen
And it's the same, it's the same thing because in that show, Brian Cox did these like cinematic, weird, like for no reason.
jordan holmes
There would be so many reaction shots of him looking to the camera and being like, hmm?
Right.
dan friesen
Like, you didn't say anything.
And in this one, Alan Cumming is using all of his ability to seduce a camera.
jordan holmes
100%.
Yes.
dan friesen
It's great.
It is fun.
jordan holmes
It really is great.
You can't take your eyes off him.
dan friesen
My favorite thing about it, one of the people on the show, Christian, is what I describe to you as big Nick Rowley energy.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
Reminded me very, very much of a dear old friend from the stand-up days.
And then the other thing that is great about the show that other reality shows should learn from is it's tight.
It is tight.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
They never have that much time to sit around and do nothing.
Like the schedule of how the show runs is like, this is happening today.
jordan holmes
We got to bang it out in a week, man.
dan friesen
Someone's getting murdered tonight.
And then we're starting over.
There's no days off.
jordan holmes
You don't have reshoots?
dan friesen
That really helps.
Because as much as I like the challenge and some of these other shows, there's a lot of fat.
There's a lot of fat that could be trimmed.
And there's really, you know, the pace really helps keep people on their toes.
It's a mystery type show.
They're trying to solve who are the traders among them.
And so there should be that pressure cooker aspect of it.
unidentified
Totally.
dan friesen
And I think that that was wise of them, even if it is probably a budgetary concern.
jordan holmes
I think it's also partly the game concern because they all have to go home to separate.
It's like a jury.
They all have to be sequestered at the end of every night.
Otherwise, the three main characters, the three traders, don't get to be there, right?
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
So you don't have all that time of like, you know, Johnny Bananas in a bunk bed with wearing half a shirt looking at four different people arguing about shit.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
You know, and it's like, no, they're at their hotel going, I wonder what's going to happen.
Am I going to get murdered tonight?
dan friesen
Speaking of which, Johnny Bananas is on the next season that starts soon.
jordan holmes
He is not on the next season.
He is.
You are joking.
dan friesen
CT and Johnny Bananas are both seasoned.
jordan holmes
You're fucking with me.
You are fucking with me.
dan friesen
They announced the cast, and they have no more normies.
The first season was half reality show celebrities and half normal people.
And I think that actually was a good blend.
But apparently, this time it's all celebrity types.
jordan holmes
No shit.
dan friesen
And so you got CT and Johnny Bananas both from the challenge.
You got Parvity from Survivor.
jordan holmes
Oh, I thought, okay.
So I thought the new season.
I thought there was a new season that was happening right now.
dan friesen
It starts on the 12th.
jordan holmes
See, there's a new season in the UK that's happening right now.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
I thought it was the same show.
There's a different host, obviously, and it took me 100 hours to figure out.
dan friesen
Because that one's in Scotland.
This one takes place in Arkansas.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
It's like they're both set in the same castle.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Okay.
The budgetary concerns are.
jordan holmes
Budgetary concerns for sure.
dan friesen
But yeah, so I'm excited about that.
CT, Johnny Bananas, Sandra, Parvity.
Amazing.
I don't know who a lot of these other people are from shows I've never watched, but a lot of real housewives.
jordan holmes
I'm telling you, I think Johnny's a traitor.
I swear to God, I think he's a piece of shit.
unidentified
I've known this guy for 25 fucking years.
dan friesen
My mind reels to imagine CT as a traitor or as not.
He's going to be gone fast.
jordan holmes
CT, if he is a traitor, the moment where he takes off his hood in the little dungeon area, that'll be the best.
Everyone will turn and be like, what the fuck are you doing, CT?
dan friesen
Now, here's the thing.
We're talking about this for too long, but I do think it would be fascinating to have this show exist when CT was a violent drunk.
So he's one of the traitors, but he keeps getting into fights.
jordan holmes
He seriously murdered somebody.
Anyway, what's your bright spot?
My bright spot.
I was kindly asked to be a guest on a podcast called Book Cult by Sydney with Sidney and Delaney.
They were very, very nice.
dan friesen
I thought you were going to say you were on Marin.
jordan holmes
No, they wanted to talk about my book inexplicably.
I think they were going through the 10 worst authors, and I was number one.
dan friesen
Look at this, False Modesty.
jordan holmes
2024.
dan friesen
So that's not False Modesty.
That's negative self-talk.
jordan holmes
It was really nice.
It was really nice.
They had found our show, but recently, so it wasn't.
And one of them read my book without knowing who I was at all.
So that was like, oh, that's great.
dan friesen
You get some unfiltered criticism.
jordan holmes
And you know what?
Okay is good enough for me.
dan friesen
Hey, we all aspire for okay.
I think perfect is the enemy of good.
jordan holmes
Perfect is the enemy of good and good is going to get murdered by okay.
That's how it's going to be.
That's 2024, buddy.
dan friesen
Okay, is going to get murdered by CT tonight when he's a traitor.
jordan holmes
Oh, man, see bananas.
dan friesen
Okay.
unidentified
We got to get bananas out of here.
dan friesen
I can't do a CT exit.
That'd be great.
So, Jordan.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Today we got an episode to go over.
Indeed.
And this is a day of wrapping up loose ends.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
If you will.
Okay.
Unfortunately, that means that I found the rest of the Jimmy Dore audio.
alex jones
Oh, shit.
dan friesen
And I decided we are kind of leaving a dangling thread there.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
And I don't want it to be like 100 episodes from now.
Like, whatever happened to that.
So let's go ahead.
Let's get done with it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Some stupid fucking shit.
But here we go.
unidentified
I'm looking forward to 2026 when we finally get to Reset Wars.
dan friesen
It might be sooner than you think.
Might be sooner than you think.
I'll leave it at that because Alex likes to say it.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
But before we get done, business on this episode, let's say hello to some new wonks.
jordan holmes
That's a great idea.
dan friesen
So, first, Sam C. Thank you so much, Uranio Policy Walk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
Thank you.
Next, go home and tell your mother you're a grifter.
Thank you so much, Renault Policy Walk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
Thank you.
Next, Dawson, a donation has been made in your name to the Transhuman Fund by T. Congratulations.
Thank you so much, Uranio Policy Wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
Thank you.
Next, hey, Scott with a K Olson.
Are you listening yet?
Those were all capital letters.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
Love Jay.
Thank you so much, Uranio Policy Wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
Thank you.
Next, Dan and Jordan, stop saying Sharia law.
It's cringed.
Signed a Muslim.
Thank you so much, Uranio Policy Walk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
Do we say Sharia law a lot?
jordan holmes
I don't think, I think only in the context of whenever crazy people say it.
I don't think we're actually talking about the real thing ever.
dan friesen
I'll be more mindful, I guess.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I don't need to.
I don't need to.
No time.
dan friesen
So we also got a technical advice, Jordan.
So thank you so much, too.
My wife's name is Jordan, and her dad's name is Dan.
So she's always looking up when I play this podcast in the car.
Thank you so much, Uranio Technocrat.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
unidentified
Four stars.
alex jones
Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant.
Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop.
Daddy Sharp.
Bomb, Jarjar Binks has a Caribbean black accent.
unidentified
He's a loser, little, little kitty baby.
alex jones
I don't want to hate black people.
I renounce Jesus Christ.
dan friesen
Thank you so much.
jordan holmes
Yes, thank you very much.
dan friesen
And now I'm getting very self-conscious about how we talked about the traders for a very long time and maybe didn't give a good enough plug for that podcast that you were on.
What was the name of it again?
Just in case people are like, I don't want to go back 20 seconds.
jordan holmes
Book B-O-O-O-K?
dan friesen
Cult.
Available wherever you get your finest podcast.
jordan holmes
With Sydney and Delaney.
dan friesen
So something that is unfortunately also probably on various podcast platforms is Jimmy Door's Devils.
We talked about our first episode of 2024 was getting into the old swinging the door open.
jordan holmes
And now it's time to slam the door shut.
dan friesen
I do think so.
I do think so.
I was left curious, but not really hungry for more after the hour and 15 minute or so version that I had heard of their interview, which I went into thinking was the whole thing.
But I was able to find the rest of it, and I don't know if it's unedited.
It's what Jimmy put out on his YouTube page.
So I'm not sure.
It seems about the, like, we're going to start up at about an hour and 15, and that's about where the first one ended.
jordan holmes
Yeah, so that's about right.
dan friesen
Yeah.
There are little things, like the part before the introduction in our first episode where Alex's saying, I only drink what you spit in my mouth.
Sure.
That is cut out.
So it's cleaned up a little.
So it leaves open the possibility that some things were brushed up a little, which is fine.
But either way, we start, I don't know, I don't think this is the same topic they were covering when he last left off.
But complaining about homelessness.
jimmy dore
If you remember, a couple of weeks ago, Xi Jinping visited San Francisco.
And if you've ever been to San Francisco, there's homeless people everywhere.
Well, they cleaned that up for Xi Jinping to come there.
And just like, so a couple of years ago, Gavin Newsom announced that there was a $40 billion surplus.
You could put Alex up.
There was a $40 billion surplus in California.
And I was like, well, I bet he's going to clean up homelessness and he's going to give people health care.
They did nothing.
They did nothing with that $40 billion.
And now they're saying it's all gone.
And I don't know.
And no one knows where it went.
And so we know that they could end homelessness in America for a fraction of the money that they sent to Ukraine at the blink of an eye.
kurt metzger
And restore it and end it again.
jimmy dore
That's right.
They could have fixed it four or five times over.
jordan holmes
Shut up, correct.
jimmy dore
And they could have sent everybody to college for free.
They won't do any of that.
So it's, it's, I'm developing this theory that they're wanting us to be on edge.
And they want us, just like Tucker had talked about it when he was on our show.
They want you to, when you go to the 7-Eleven, you have to step over a homeless person and everything's locked up behind cages and you're going to get a crazy person screaming at you, so that you will welcome authoritarianism, right?
Just like what the terrorist attack on 9-11 did.
We became a surveillance state.
People gave up their freedoms.
By the way, the Patriot Act was on a shelf for years.
They were waiting to implement that.
And so people just forgot that every email, every text, every phone call they make is being recorded and take and categorize and collected by the government.
And so I've tried to stop, I'm starting to develop this theory like, so they keep saying that Trump and Trumpers are going to start a civil war.
The people starting a civil war are the corporate media, which are beholden to a handful of billionaires, which are beholden to no country.
And it's like they want us fighting.
They want us at each other's throats.
They want homelessness here.
That's why they won't fix it.
They want everybody to be on edge and afraid.
dan friesen
So just off the bat, I'd like to say that Jimmy's theory is dumb.
But it's right in line with him becoming more and more a part of a community of people who like to craft dumb theories, which seems to be his career trajectory.
He'll fit in fine with these guys.
So Xi visited San Francisco recently as part of a meeting for the summit for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, or APEC.
And in advance of that, a couple spots that were frequented by people experiencing homelessness would congregate.
Those got cleared out.
Right.
This was achieved partially by opening up a small number of additional shelter beds, but also by stepping up arrests for drug-related crime and by pushing the unhoused people away from these areas that were near where Xi and other world leaders would be meeting.
jimmy dore
Right.
dan friesen
I don't think that Jimmy is suggesting that they solved the problem of homelessness in order to impress Xi, but his messaging is very convoluted here.
I understand that he thinks it's hypocritical to just do this in order to not look bad in front of another world leader, but does he support the kind of tactics that were used to put a band-aid on this issue?
Like, I feel like he shouldn't, but I'm left unclear.
So, one thing about this clip that I want to highlight is how it illustrates that Jimmy is a person who's prone to bouts of impotent non-curiosity.
He has questions that he assumes he thinks that no one has the answers to, which just results in him spewing and being angry about something that he assumes like with the budget.
Sure.
The budget surplus.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
dan friesen
He says that no one knows what that money was spent on.
But if he was curious at all, he could have found that answer very easily.
jordan holmes
Oh, because people do know what that money is.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah.
In November 2022, the head.
jordan holmes
He has to.
There's an accountant.
He works there.
It's his job.
dan friesen
But it's even simpler than that.
The head of the California Department of Finance, H.D. Palmer, was interviewed by Capitol Public Radio, and he explained it fully.
Quote: So, the governor, when he was noting our surplus, said that this isn't going to go on forever.
In the past in California, when we've been in good times, the governors and legislatures have thought this is going to go on forever and we can continue budgeting.
In doing what we've done so far, thinking that we're going to be in good times for a number of years, it's turned out painfully not to be the case.
The governor was very mindful of that back in May, and he said, Let's be smart about how we deal with the surplus.
And the legislature agreed with him, and they were smart in a couple of areas.
They chose to pay down debt for prior years, they chose to build up our budget reserves, they chose to continue reducing our long-term liabilities like pension obligations, and they chose to use a good chunk of the discretionary part of the surplus on one-time spending as opposed to building a higher ongoing level of spending.
And probably the best example of that in terms of one-time spending is the $9.5 billion in inflation relief payments that have been going out this fall to a total of about 17 million Californians and are continuing to go out and will go out through the end of the year.
That's provided some near-term relief for Californians who've been hit hard by inflation, but that's a one-time expenditure on a targeted program where we think it had a very helpful result.
All of this was available information for Jimmy, but no one knows where any of this money went.
You could disagree with the choices of how the state used the surplus, but just to pretend that it's a mystery and no one knows what happened to the money is intellectually dishonest and the mark of someone who doesn't really care so much about the stuff he's talking about and seems to just be looking for talking points to yell about.
Also, Jimmy is saying that the government didn't spend the surplus on ending homelessness or giving people free health care or higher education.
That's great.
In my mind, those are great things to invest in.
But he's talking to Alex Jones, someone who doesn't think the state should pay for any of that stuff.
Alex believes that the state paying for any of that stuff is rank communism, and the state would only do it to make you reliant on them so they can more easily exterminate you.
Unless the two of them address that ridiculous elephant in the room, their conversation doesn't make any sense.
But back to Jimmy's theory about how the man or the globalists want you to be unhoused people around so that the 7-Eleven keeps you on edge to accept authoritarianism.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
That's dumb, like I said.
It's also very similar to a lot of the theories Alex has, and the similarity is dehumanization.
The people experiencing homelessness are people to Jimmy, in the same way that refugees and asylum seekers aren't people to Alex.
They're a weapon that some evil cabal is using against the good people like Jimmy and Alex.
If you buy into mentalities like this, you're far less likely to connect to the subject you're talking about with empathy and more likely to tend toward paranoia and hostility.
The problem of homelessness becomes something that's secondary to the larger problem you actually are focused on, which is the ways you imagine the man is secretly meddling to try and keep you on edge.
The obviously, this is as the result of taking away your interest in working towards legislation that helps unhouse people, because ultimately, what's the point?
If you do that, the man is just going to find some other way to keep you on edge.
So dealing with homelessness is really just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Having this mindset is a very convenient way to continue to pretend that you have left-leaning politics, but allow your mind and everything you do to be consumed by conspiracism, which seems to be what's going on.
jordan holmes
I mean, I don't, these people, all of these conversations from these people should have ended the moment somebody was like, hey, Elon, you can fix world hunger.
And he was like, okay, I'll do it.
And then they were like, you can do it for this money that you won't notice is gone.
And he's like, I'll do it.
And then he's just like, nah, I don't think I'm going to do it.
And it just didn't.
Like, if Elon Musk, by himself, already their hero, can end their problem that they're complaining about right now without noticing a change in his bank account.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And then their arguments are nothing to me.
dan friesen
Well, but also the other element that you have to encounter with that is that there wouldn't be oversight and governmental red tape to get through where Elon to do that.
jordan holmes
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
dan friesen
Whereas any attempt to deal with these problems through government largesse and expenditure is going to be violently opposed by people like Alex, who Jimmy is talking to.
One of the big reasons why the government doesn't spend more money on the things that he wants them to, apparently, is because of the person he's talking to and the world that he represents.
Also, I know they are sending money to Ukraine, but a lot of those giant figures you hear are like military equipment and stuff.
So like, you know, you don't need that here.
jordan holmes
Nah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
But either way, yeah.
Alex has a response to Jimmy's dumb theory.
jordan holmes
Let's hear it.
dan friesen
And it's not a good response.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
It's not even a bad response.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
It's barely a response.
jordan holmes
All right.
alex jones
I really am an expert on this because I read the writings voluminously of kind of the highest people who you all know are Hararis and folks.
And so a lot goes into this.
But at one level, you're 100% right.
And there's some other levels to it, in my view.
Paul Schwab has said, we want an angrier world.
So they want you to see dystopia and pain.
It was declassified.
That since the 60s, the CIA wanted ugly art, ugly architecture, ugly culture, so that you would expect an uglier world and just get used to it and wouldn't demand beauty and wouldn't go along with art was bad in the 60s?
Because they were about to end the experiment of America with all its problems and all the issues.
It was the wild, wild west.
dan friesen
Walk a wicked wild wild west.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
I don't want to sound like a broken record, but Alex absolutely does not read voluminously stuff by WEF figures like Schwab or Harari.
jordan holmes
Absolutely not.
dan friesen
He knows a couple of out-of-context quotes from them that he's seen in memes, and he knows the extreme right-wing social media talking points that he uses as launching pads to rant, but he's never read any of their books.
Klaus Schwab never said that he wanted to create an angrier world.
Alex is lying about a CNBC interview he did in July 2020 that was given the headline, quote, WEF founder must prepare for an angrier world.
The interview was about how the election was upcoming, and we were in the earlier stages of the COVID crisis, and Schwab was predicting that the world would likely become more angry.
The remedy that he proposes is greater dialogue among countries and stakeholders, as well as a push to provide equal access to things like the medical system.
Since Jimmy is such a big Medicare for all guy, that should have been right up his alley.
But you'll never know that that was what Schwab was talking about if your main source of information is liars who make things up about headlines.
There's nothing in any of Schwab nor Harari's book about a plot to create an angrier world.
This is just something Alex has made up and decided to pretend is a real plan that Klaus Schwab has.
It wasn't even on that album of his.
Well, maybe it was.
Maybe it was actually in there.
jordan holmes
That would have been a great cut.
I would have preferred that one.
dan friesen
I wish that in that whole thing.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
That whole album of Schwab covers, one of them was just like the limp biscuits break stuff.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
But all the lyrics were the same.
unidentified
Like all the other ones were parody songs about you will eat the boat.
jordan holmes
That's just like, man, this is Klaus' favorite song.
It's time to karaoke it.
Yeah.
I think if Weird Al actually tried to do that album, it would go platinum.
I think it'd be great.
Weird Al as Klaus Schwab in again.
dan friesen
The AI voice really ruined it.
jordan holmes
It really did.
dan friesen
It's not nearly as funny anymore.
jordan holmes
It sucks.
I don't.
What I hate about this stuff, especially from Dorr, because he's an idiot.
And Kurt just needs to shut up.
dan friesen
The big effect that these episodes have done is really make you not like Kurt Metzger.
jordan holmes
I really hate Kurt Metzger.
dan friesen
You ended with a positive opinion of him.
jordan holmes
He was pretty funny.
Now I hate him a lot.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's not going to get better throughout the course of this.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I believe it.
No, it is that like, this is what they want.
They want you on edge or all of this stuff.
And nobody can just handle the idea that, like, it is not a they want situation.
Houselessness ultimately comes down to like, there's a guy whose job it is to maximize profits for a business.
That's his job.
He doesn't think he's a good guy or a bad guy.
He just thinks, this is my job.
And there's a hundred of those guys.
And then there's a million of those guys.
And then there's a boss who's a billionaire.
And then there's a stock buyback.
And that's the business.
You know, now there's 6.5 billion in profits instead of 3.5 billion.
And that 3.5, 3 extra billion in profits could have put people in houses.
And it wasn't because some evil guy thought we would need to put people on edge.
It's because there's 100 guys and their job is to just maximize profits.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And because society has, for better or worse, and despite good intentions from other people, we are apparently complacent with a government that doesn't step in and mandate some of these things.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
Like the idea of.
dan friesen
Those choices could be made.
jordan holmes
A profit cap would end this world and it makes the most sense of anything.
What are you talking about?
You can only make blah in profits.
But then what?
Well, that's money that you're just taking.
It's not money you're reinvesting.
You're taking it.
dan friesen
Sounds like you hate freedom.
jordan holmes
I do.
dan friesen
So, also, Alex is completely wrong about the whole thing about the CIA and art.
jordan holmes
No, that one actually was made.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So, during the Cold War, the CIA funded groups like the Congress for Cultural Freedom that promoted Western art as a propaganda effort against the Soviet Union.
The thinking was that the U.S. and Western culture was so much more free and thus more creative.
And if it was celebrated, it would be a massive cultural victory over the Soviet system, which is much more traditional and caught up in the past.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
All art styles like abstract expressionism stood in stark contrast to the prevailing culture of the Soviet Union at the time.
And many have suggested that part of the push in terms of popularizing this style and artists like Jackson Pollock had to do with cultural fronts like the CCF, some of which were essentially CIA fronts.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
The irony, of course, is at the same time, they are blacklisting Jews for being in Hollywood for making things that people would appreciate in a very similar sense.
Weird.
dan friesen
But even in the most, or I should say, excuse me, the least generous interpretation of that history with the CIA on art, it wasn't about making Americans accept an uglier world and not demand beauty.
It was yet another weird idea that anti-communists put into action during the Cold War.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Alex's version is probably a lot more fun, though, and it fits into the conspiracy architecture that Jimmy wants to play inside of.
So that's the version of reality that you're going to get out of this.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
It is weird how a lot of people just did drugs and were like, hey, we're in the CIA somehow.
Let's just keep doing shit.
Then we allowed it to happen.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
They just did drugs and then committed war crimes.
And that was the CIA until now.
dan friesen
Was this your book?
Was this part of your book?
jordan holmes
It was a little bit part of my book.
I did a lot of research.
dan friesen
A chapter.
They did drugs and now we're committing war crimes.
jordan holmes
That was pretty much it.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So Bilderberg comes up.
Sure.
And Alex talks about his infiltration strategies that he's used over the years.
jordan holmes
You mean walking in, reserving a hotel room?
Are there any other infiltration strategies?
dan friesen
There's one other.
alex jones
If you talk to, when I've covered Bilderberg myself more than 10 times, my crew many other times, we get into the hotel a few days before they close it, and I hand out a card and I say, when the Bilderberg group comes here, to the waiters and to the staff and to the bartender, to the bellhop, when they come here and you see how rude and evil and mean they are and you hear what they're saying, here's the remember, call me and give me information.
jordan holmes
This is all on one card.
alex jones
I learned that from Jim Tucker, an old reporter that had been covering them since the 70s.
And he's dead now, but he was a really interesting old-fashioned gumshoe.
And so they would then be so rude and so mean and never give a one-cent tip.
None of them give tips.
Hillary Clinton at a restaurant gives no tip, a lot of times skips out on it.
And they're all like this.
Gavin Newsom, I've told people that know him, they're all like this because they are such sociopaths slash psychopathic.
They're all on that scale that to them, they don't understand doing good to others comes back to you.
They don't get that if they crap in the swimming pool, they've got to close the community pool because they're so rich and powerful, they're disconnected from ever being in a community pool.
So they feel so insulated and so distasteful.
Last time you were at a campaign, even though their consciousness is evil, that's kind of a body, even their genetics still has the old human there.
So they subconsciously hate themselves.
So they then project onto the public their own self-loathing.
And I've talked to top psychiatrists about psychopaths and serial killers.
They only feel alive when they're doing something bad or being nasty.
unidentified
Sure.
jordan holmes
That makes sense.
alex jones
And if they do anything nice, they are so hyper-competitive that they feel like they're being cheated.
Wow.
dan friesen
I tire of the speculation about how good a tipper Hillary is.
Also, I should say, even by Alex's inaccurate schedule of Bilderberg meetings, he said they're in Europe three years and then in the U.S., one.
Is tipping customary in all of the countries that they're just ridiculous.
jordan holmes
It's just us, right?
dan friesen
So anyway, I found an article in Fox News of all places from 2007 about how good a tipper Hillary is.
jordan holmes
Oh, my God.
dan friesen
Apparently, she and her entourage ate at a maid right in Iowa where the bill was $157 and they left a $100 tip.
Who knows if that's normal for her?
I sure don't.
People should tip well, but this is gossip-level shit that Alex is trying to exaggerate into being some kind of relevant political point about their psychology.
jordan holmes
If anyone, like, okay.
Of all the things that Hillary can be, right?
Once you become Secretary of State, how much you tip will always be less important to me in terms of like your standing as a good or bad person than the number of war crimes you commit.
dan friesen
And I would suggest to you that in that position that you're in, you're often not picking up the check.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
I would assume at the echelon of life that Hillary Clinton is at.
jordan holmes
That's probably true.
dan friesen
There's usually probably someone who's her body person who carries her cards.
jordan holmes
At the very least, at the very least, most lunches can be written off as a business expense.
dan friesen
I would assume that some of those decisions are a little bit farmed out for other people.
So Alex has absolutely not physically covered Bilderberg 10 times.
He's been to the one in London that we covered for our flight show in London.
He went to that one in Chantilly, Virginia in 2008.
And he went to the one in Canada that's included in the film Endgame.
jordan holmes
We did see that.
dan friesen
Outside of that, I'm not sure he's gone to any of the others.
And of those, the only one where he definitely got into the hotel was in Chantilly.
The other times he just bullhorned people driving by in cars.
Alex has never produced anything that's been provided by Bilderberg waitstaff whistleblowers.
It's just the Trojan horse that he uses to launder his bullshit.
It's the same trick that Jim Tucker and Daniel Estelin use.
They make up stuff about the Bilderberg meetings, and if they need to provide a source, they can say some disgruntled waiter told them about what they overheard in the shadowy back rooms.
It's just a parlor trick.
Smart move of Alex, though, not to talk about who Jim Tucker wrote for or how the publication he was the editor of was full of Holocaust denial.
Wow.
No, no, no.
He's just a good old-fashioned gum shooter.
jordan holmes
He was a gum shoe.
dan friesen
Gumshoes.
jordan holmes
Listen, who didn't deny the Holocaust back then?
I was barely.
dan friesen
Quite a few people.
Quite a few people.
jordan holmes
Nah, come on.
dan friesen
There was prevailing editorial position of the people.
jordan holmes
Among commies.
Well.
dan friesen
Yikes.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's.
I don't even feel good saying that.
dan friesen
No.
So Alex in that last clip said they a lot.
They want.
Yes.
To be fair, Jimmy did, too.
He's saying that they want everybody to be on edge.
But Jimmy wants to know who are you talking about when you say they.
jordan holmes
That is a good question.
dan friesen
Because I know the answer.
jordan holmes
I bet if we all talked about who they were, we'd get a lot of different answers.
dan friesen
You bet.
But we know the answer.
Sure.
And it's the globalists.
But then the question then becomes, who are the globalists?
jordan holmes
Well, that's not a good question to ask.
dan friesen
But here's Alex's discussion of it.
unidentified
All right.
jimmy dore
How would you define who when you keep when you say they, how do you define they?
Who is the they?
alex jones
There are sociopaths and psychopaths in the Chinese government and corporations.
jordan holmes
Already off too bad six.
alex jones
There are sociopaths and psychopaths in the German government.
There are sociopaths and psychopaths in the U.S. government.
There are sociopaths and psychopaths in the Israeli government.
There are sociopaths and psychopaths in the Russian government.
But they've already been through 80-plus years of this, so they're in many ways having a renaissance and trying to get away from it.
jordan holmes
That's your pitch.
alex jones
We haven't fully gotten bottom yet, so we're going deeper into it.
But if you want to know who runs it, BlackRock is, you know this, you've covered it.
BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard, all controlled by the same group of less than a dozen managers, control 88% of world assets and wealth.
And they've said we'll use this to control people.
They want to cut off our resources or saying, you know, we can't take showers or wash our clothes.
And Obama told Africans you can't have a car or air conditioning, but he can have jumbo jets and palatial things all over the place.
And so it's a religion of do as I say, not as I do.
I'm an anointed one.
I'm a priest class.
dan friesen
So I've noticed that when Alex wants to appeal to folks who aren't as far on his side of the extreme right, he'll often stress his opposition to BlackRock a lot more.
That's a solid strategic move since the people he's talking to, in this case, Jimmy's viewers, probably also hate BlackRock.
They may hate them for a different reason than Alex does, but Alex can use the optics to smooth that over.
But let's track this answer that Alex gives when he's asked who they are.
We know it's the globalists, but here we get Alex being descriptive.
So we can assume this is a description of the globalists.
There's sociopaths and psychopaths in all the world governments.
jordan holmes
So they're in all the world governments.
dan friesen
So that's the first description.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
It's unhelpful.
Entirely unhelpful.
jordan holmes
No, some people everywhere are doing it.
That's very helpful.
dan friesen
But there's no connective tissue other than they're crazy people.
jordan holmes
Oh, no, there's some people.
There's some of them.
dan friesen
It's also clear from the part that Alex says about Russia that he means communists, which he doesn't have a coherent definition for.
All this means nothing.
jordan holmes
Well, some people who like to get together and do stuff that anti-communists don't like.
dan friesen
Right.
And then I'm also going to extend anti-communist into being like, I kind of hate minorities.
jordan holmes
Well, sure, but I mean.
dan friesen
So if there are people who are in support of rights for minorities and things like that, then I think they're commies.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that tends to be the case.
dan friesen
So then Alex says that it's BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street.
BlackRock manages about $9.5 trillion in assets and is the largest business of that sort in the world, while the other two are also giant financial entities.
It's fair enough to say that these three companies represent a significant problem for our country, but it's not in the way that Alex suggests.
Alex doesn't know anything about these companies outside of the little tidbits of information that he's gleaned from memes and headlines of articles that he's never read.
Case in point, Alex says that these three companies are controlled by the same 12 people, or I think he says less than a dozen, and that they control 88% of all assets and wealth.
jordan holmes
That's a lot.
dan friesen
So the first question is: who are these 12 people?
Alex has never really mentioned anyone outside of Larry Fink as somebody who's in charge of BlackRock.
And the only things that Alex even knows about him are various right-wing culture war memes, like how he supports ESGs.
Who runs State Street?
Their current chair is Joseph Hooley, and their president-CEO is Brian Hanley.
But those aren't names that Alex ever brings up, most likely because no one's posted a meme of them yet.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But are they two of the 12?
Does Alex know who runs Vanguard?
jordan holmes
I feel like Bill Gates has got to be somewhere in there, right?
dan friesen
Well, not just the Council of 13 cheese.
jordan holmes
No, it's 12 because he doesn't do odd numbers like any good council would.
dan friesen
No, but there's a secret Baker's doesn't.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's a good one.
dan friesen
That's where Bill Gates is.
jordan holmes
That's the trick is.
dan friesen
So, like, does Alex know who runs Vanguard?
Nope.
Does the name.
I was going to make up a fake name, but then the guy's name ended up being Mortimer Buckley.
jordan holmes
That's unreal.
dan friesen
That's a good name.
jordan holmes
See, nah, that's when you, that's when you're like, oh, maybe we never did get rid of King George.
If Mortimer Buckley is a rich person in America in 2024, we didn't defeat the king.
dan friesen
It goes by Tim.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I bet he does.
Smart change.
Smart change, Morty.
dan friesen
So Mortimer Buckley has never been a constant obsession for Alex.
Obviously not, because he isn't memeable, and Alex just covers memes.
But for real, who the fuck are these 12 people?
Vanguard has a page on their website with profiles of their managing directors, and there's 12 of them at that company alone.
They have 13 members on their board of directors and not much overlap between them.
You go to BlackRock and you've got a global executive committee of 24 people, double the number that Alex is saying make all the decisions between the three companies.
What Alex is saying is stupid.
There aren't less than a dozen people at these three companies that run everything.
It's just that there's a very limited number of people involved in these businesses that Alex has been able to turn into characters.
These are businesses, and even if we disagree with their aims and their particular way of making money, Alex's view of them is very reductive.
Part of this is due to the nature of conspiracy and how everything has to be boiled down to a small cabal that's in charge of everything.
It doesn't serve the conspiracy theorists to deal with BlackRock as a business with 24 members of a global executive committee and who knows how many hundreds or thousands of employees downstream, many of which are the people who manage the investments they hold and who make decisions about those holdings.
That gets super complicated really quick.
So the image of it has to be that these companies are essentially dictatorships run by figureheads that Alex has been able to turn into characters.
Thus far, that's only been possible with Larry Fink, which is why BlackRock comes up much more in Alex's diatribes, but he includes State Street and Vanguard when he rattles off the list because it makes good window dressing.
And what about his claim that these three companies, quote, control 88% of world assets and wealth?
Is that true?
What do you think?
jordan holmes
88 seems high.
Like a lot of people who get re-elected with 97% of the popular vote, that has the same ring of honesty to it.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's not true.
No.
These companies are investment companies and they put together portfolios for funds for corporate or individual investors to put money into for a bunch of different purposes.
Some of it might just be for individual investment.
Some of it might be putting together a retirement package or corporate pension funds.
And in order to do this, they pool individual and corporate money to invest into these collections of stocks and funds that they put together.
Index funds.
It can be a little more complicated than that, but as a fairly basic elementary way to view their role, that's a decent summation.
The stat that Alex is citing, the 88% number, is not a percentage of assets or wealth that they own or control.
It's an approximation of the percentage of assets that are being traded in the context of index funds that are managed by these three companies.
They have what many consider to be an effective oligopoly over the exchange-traded funds or EFT market, but this is not the same thing as what Alex is saying.
Still a problem, not the same thing that Alex is saying.
That number, which may well be in the lower 80%, does not account for all investment, and it certainly doesn't account for all wealth.
That said, these three companies do pose a very serious problem, and it's one that should be addressed.
The amount of assets these three companies manage has generally been increasing in recent years, and there's every reason to assume they'll continue to remain in that position, squeezing out smaller index fund management companies.
This is worrying from the standpoint of the economy, but there's also another issue that Alex is somewhat right about, but gets pretty much entirely wrong.
As the holders of a great deal of stock, which they own in these funds, which people then invest in, these three companies have an outsized say in votes within the companies for which they hold stock.
In a 2019 paper in the Boston University Law Review, Professors Lucian Bebchuk and Scott Hearst cited a statistic that from 1998 to 2017, the average combined stake of BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street in SP 500 companies quadrupled from 5.2% to 20.5%.
And that, quote, assuming that past trends continue, we estimate that the share of votes that the big three would cast at SP companies could well reach about 30% or 34% of votes in the next decade and 41% in two decades.
The issue with this is pretty obvious in that it represents a consolidated and very outsized influence that these companies could have on corporate decisions.
And this is exactly where Alex has a valid criticism about these companies.
He brings up that they have these investments and holdings in other companies that gives them sway, but the only time this ever comes up is when he needs to complain about people being too woke, which is where the criticism goes entirely off the rails.
Why is the new little mermaid not white?
Because BlackRock owns Share in Disney and they're pushing their woke agenda.
Why is Bud Light putting Dylan Mulvaney on a single promotional can?
Because BlackRock invests in Anheuser-Busch, and they're pushing their woke agenda.
This is the place where the anti-BlackRock type narrative fits in Alex's world.
And the fundamental irony is that the role these three companies play in their corporate existence is far more aligned with Alex's politics than he likes to pretend.
Alex and his ilk drum up this meaningless but loud opposition to these companies, and maybe they'll make a small dent in their earnings for the quarter, but then things fizzle out and the right-wing culture war obsessives move on to the next meme they're told to get angry about, and nothing really changes.
The conversation may at times dip its toe into talks of boycotting these companies that BlackRock holds investments in, but even that's an impotent action.
But it's about as far as someone like Alex can go.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And the reason for that is that all the viable solutions for the problem that these giant companies present are things that Alex directly opposes.
Things like changing tax structures and regulations around retirement funds, things like entirely new regulation on corporate governance in the landscape that these giant funds create.
Things like hypertaxation on money management.
These are all things that would work to deal with the issue this outsized influence has.
And they're all things that Alex would start a war to oppose.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I think that is what is, I think, the lesson ultimately here is that Alex needs BlackRock to exist.
Yes.
Like Alex does not exist without BlackRock existing because BlackRock makes all of these conspiracy theories true enough for people to believe.
Yes.
dan friesen
Well, and it's paved enough of the road that you can veer off it where you want to go, which is the complaining about the little mermaid and Dylan Mulvaney.
jordan holmes
And BlackRock needs Alex because Alex keeps people from criticizing BlackRock for real.
dan friesen
Because he veers them off the road before the point where there's something actually meaningful that can be done.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
If anyone is in a conspiracy with BlackRock, State Street, and et cetera, it is Alex and the right-wing media to make sure that we don't actually address, because in a real situation.
dan friesen
Just to be clear, though, you're not suggesting conspiracy.
They have entwined interests that they both are maybe aware of, but I don't think that BlackRock gives a fuck what Alex does.
jordan holmes
No, that's what I'm saying.
That's the hundred business managers just trying to maximize profit.
They're not thinking they're doing good or bad.
Sure, I work for BlackRock.
You work for McDonald's.
They're doing evil too.
What do you want?
But that is where we are.
And until, and I mean, a reasonable society should be able to listen to Alex talk about BlackRock and go, hold on, shut up.
Stop talking.
Then we stop everything.
We deal with BlackRock.
And then we come back.
dan friesen
No, no, no, no.
jordan holmes
Because we cannot do both at the same time.
I can't talk to Alex and have BlackRock continue to exist.
dan friesen
No, no, fuck you.
Fuck you.
Here's what we're going to do.
We're going to make videos of ourselves shooting Budweiser cans because BlackRock funds Annaiser Bush and they're too woke.
unidentified
Actually, you've won me over on that.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
No, I mean, but that is what it is, right?
Like, we all agree BlackRock is wrong, and we need to stop them.
And the only reason we can't is because rich people are.
dan friesen
I think that there's some people who would believe it's less wrong, and some people probably don't even think it's wrong.
jordan holmes
That's fine.
But they should also probably be getting rid of.
dan friesen
I think that there are at least a fair amount of voices who recognize the danger that this organization, not the organization of these companies, but the organization of the economy in this way, the dangers that it can present.
And some of the things that I was reading did somewhat compare this to early antitrust times in a way that makes a fair amount of sense.
jordan holmes
I mean, yeah, it's robber barons.
I mean, it is Luxury somewhat of 2024 that arguments should be so much shorter now.
Because if you cannot look at BlackRock, if you can't look at the situation with BlackRock and that and just be like, they have that much?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's too much.
dan friesen
It's ridiculous.
jordan holmes
If you can't do that, then we don't have a conversation.
dan friesen
Well, but here's the thing.
They don't own all those stocks.
jordan holmes
Hear me out.
You see what I'm saying?
dan friesen
I'm not defending.
jordan holmes
That's why I'm saying it's a shorter.
dan friesen
This is why it's a little bit more complicated.
It's not like they have, they own all this stuff and they run all these companies and all this.
jordan holmes
This is where you and I are going to be in a struggle here because the nuance is very important for the second part.
What is important for now is the fury.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You know, I'm not exactly sure is the only way you're going to get to the second part.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You're not going to get there by being like, hey, listen, what we need to do is tax rights.
dan friesen
The only problem that I have with that, because I somewhat agree with you, is that fury is the thing that gets you derailed.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And fury is the thing that someone like Alex can distort and use.
He can use that as his clay.
Well, and that's why that's one of the only reasons that I would try and put a pause on advocating Fury.
jordan holmes
No, you agree.
dan friesen
I also think that unchecked fury in some ways can lead you to think, like, well, what I should do is blow up a BlackRock building or something.
And that's not necessarily what you should be saying is.
jordan holmes
On this most glorious of anniversaries.
dan friesen
It's the seventh.
jordan holmes
I think it's important.
No, it is undirected Fury.
And that's where we get into trouble.
Because on one side, we have undirected Fury will get directed by Alex, is what you're saying.
That's what I'm saying.
Nobody else is directing it.
Nobody else is willing to because there is the idea that if you direct Fury, period, you are the bad guy.
And Alex, the only people who are actively doing it, are the bad guys.
And so we have a complete abdication of responsibility towards directing righteous and real fury and a giving up to it to Alex.
dan friesen
There may be something to that.
So Alex can't really oppose BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street in any meaningful way because there really isn't a solution outside of getting the government to impose some kind of guardrails.
The only other option really is to get investors to not invest in their various funds, but the odds of that happening is essentially zero when their funds are the best performing ones.
jordan holmes
Make less money.
No.
dan friesen
The solution Alex has of demonizing companies that are too woke and maybe getting their profits down temporarily doesn't make even the smallest difference for the companies at the top.
So if these three companies are the ones behind the globalists, then strong government intervention is what needs to happen.
And you can count on Alex to never support that happening.
Trump isn't going to do it.
Vivek isn't going to do it.
But ironically, there's a decent chance that Biden could.
For all the criticism that he gets, one of the things people don't talk about enough is Biden and his administration showing a lot of promise in the realm of antitrust issues.
They have multiple investigations into things like Live Nations, effective monopoly over ticketing, and Visa's relationship with competition in terms of payment processing.
A lot of that has not come to fruition yet.
And, you know, it's not for, it's not that it never will.
jimmy dore
Sure.
dan friesen
This is coming down the pipeline.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And it's not stuff that's gotten to the level of these index funds.
But there's an indication in how Biden's administration has moved that they're taking monopolies more seriously than predecessors and more seriously than he often gets credit for because it's easy to see very obvious ineptitudes in some of the things that he puts forth and the Biden administration does.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
But I mean, that's also part of the that's hamstrung by the stuff he did in the past.
You know, like part of the reason that the executive branch can't handle this, because that's a case that'll take 10 years in court to really deal with.
dan friesen
Some of that's coming down the pipe in theory this year.
unidentified
Sure, sure.
jordan holmes
But I mean, then there's a new executive, and then all of a sudden, you know, and it's like because of the amount of money and because of the way that they've set this up over the past 40 years, that is a thing that they can take advantage of.
So, yes, he's doing this, and the reason he's not doing it as fast as people want him to is because of shit he did in the past.
You know, it's like you win some, you lose some.
dan friesen
There may be, but I don't think that that in any way is like something that should take away from like the argument to do it.
jordan holmes
Oh, no, no, no, no, absolutely not.
I'm saying that's like this is where we are, where it's like, I understand he doesn't like that people aren't giving him credit for that shit.
dan friesen
I'm not saying this because Biden told me to.
jordan holmes
No, no, no, I'm not saying you are either.
dan friesen
I'm not saying that Biden called me and he's like, hey, Dan, look, people are credit where credit is due.
jordan holmes
You know, that is true.
But the problem there is like, I agree with you.
This is just where the government works, this is how the government works.
unidentified
There's just guys doing their job at the same time.
dan friesen
If Alex were going to bet on a candidate to take on the fight that he wants, he should choose Biden.
He's not going to do that because his opposition to these companies is not sincere.
It's political theater.
But, you know, it is, I think, important, generally speaking, when there's something to Alex's thoughts and ideas that does make sense and has some kernel of truth to not shy away from that.
And his criticisms about how much control in theory over the voting by virtue of the ownership of stock that these companies have is at its core a decent point.
It goes wrong, but to pretend that that isn't the point just because Alex is saying it is not fair.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, and it gets back to that same like that ratio thing.
You know, like at a certain point, Alex is describing a problem that is more important to handle than the problem of Alex.
You know what I'm saying?
dan friesen
I still wouldn't team up with Alex to solve the problem.
jordan holmes
No, I don't mean team up with Alex.
dan friesen
I'm going to retain my problems with Alex.
jordan holmes
I don't mean team up with Alex.
I mean that because Alex is talking about it, people are going to look at Alex as the problem.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Instead of being like, hey, this time, Alex, you're still the problem.
But these guys are, shut up.
We're leaving you alone.
You're fuck y'all.
Fuck off.
We got to deal with these guys first.
dan friesen
Sit this one out.
Go on another non-vacation vacation.
jordan holmes
Here's what we'll do.
Here's what we'll do, Alex.
We're going to go deal with BlackRock.
And then when we get back, you see what your conspiracy is.
That's what I feel like the answer should be.
dan friesen
Well, because ultimately...
jordan holmes
There's going to be another conspiracy.
Well, but then we will have taken care of BlackRock.
dan friesen
But ultimately, any attempt that Alex and his sort of type would have, any influence they would have in trying to solve the problem of Black Rock.
jordan holmes
Only give them greater power.
Yeah.
Which is why we have to do it.
dan friesen
Well, not me.
I don't have a lot of control over these things.
unidentified
Time to do it.
dan friesen
Yep.
So, look, one of the things that characterizes this interview is Jimmy is asleep at the wheel.
He is nothing going on.
He just lets Alex ramble for such long stretches.
alex jones
So if you look at the brain of a Henry Kissinger and the brain of a Zbignibzinski, can we?
One is Chinese, one is Jewish, or the one of Hitler.
Hitler said everybody else is weak and dumb.
Survival of the fittest, social Darwinism.
We're going to kill everybody that doesn't go along with us.
And some will be left as slaves, but really we'll get rid of them later.
I mean, and people say, well, why is Yuvalnor?
Is that Charles Lieber saying we don't need humans?
It's time to get rid of people.
The future's not human.
Hitler just said the future isn't anybody but an Aryan, which is bad enough.
Yavaldo Arari says the future ain't even human.
That's a quote.
He says humans are gone by 2047.
And you can read NBC headlines, the same thing.
A New York Times headlines, looking forward to the end of humanity.
I'm in the grocery store checkout lane.
Saw a similar headline last week.
It's telling you, you're garbage.
You're filth.
You killed the earth.
Don't have a life force.
Don't have a survival instinct.
You're killing everything.
Look at the garbage.
Look at the homeless.
Look at everything.
Die.
unidentified
Roll over.
alex jones
Don't live.
Don't thrive.
Don't contend for the future.
Don't affect the future because we have the Renaissance system of believing in humans and egalitarianism and classical liberalism and really empowering people, but doing it through the classical human system.
That's the great awakening that we're in that's countering the great reset, the war against the globalists, defeating the globalists and launching the next great renaissance.
And they can't compete with that.
They are a evil stinking witch that's literally trying to hand out poison apples versus Ritter Monroe in their prime.
Freedom in the Renaissance and liberalism, real liberalism, is Marilyn Monroe in her prime.
And the new world order is like a Skexy from the dark crystal.
They have to make everything ugly because they're ugly spiritually, culturally, metaphysically, and they need everything ugly to camouflage themselves because they're so fallen.
jordan holmes
So don't.
jimmy dore
I just learned recently that the AP, the news service, the AP, the owners of the AP, is it the Rothschilds?
alex jones
They own a lot of stuff through BlackRock.
They also own The Economist magazine.
Oh, my God.
dan friesen
Yeah, so Jimmy just let Alex rant about basically nothing for minutes on it.
jordan holmes
Can you do that?
I didn't know you could do that.
dan friesen
Yeah, apparently.
jordan holmes
I feel like that was a complete like, oh, I wasn't listening at all.
dan friesen
Marilyn Monroe is hot.
Skexies are ugly.
jordan holmes
Anyway, so the AP.
Are they owned by the Rothschilds?
dan friesen
Yeah, like he just lets him go on and on.
And then the rejoinder is to spout an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory about the Rothschilds owning the AP.
Before we get to that, we've talked about the Rothschild family's connection to The Economist.
That has nothing to do with BlackRock.
And the Rothschild family doesn't own BlackRock, as Alex is clearly suggesting.
No one owns the Associated Press, per se.
It's a non-for-profit news organization that began and continues to exist as a co-op.
They began in 1846 and to this day retain exhaustive corporate archives that contain their, quote, news, administrative, and government arms.
And what do you know?
They weren't founded by, nor are they owned by the Rothschilds.
But you know what?
There was a meme that periodically circulates in right-wing social media that claims that the Rothschilds own the AP and Reuters.
So it looks like Jimmy saw that and counted that as learning.
He learned that recently.
It's fucking cute.
jordan holmes
You can just see something on the internet and that's learning.
dan friesen
Yeah.
The only reason you'd say something like this is if you're a complete idiot drawn in by conspiracism so deeply that you have no clue what direction is up or possibly to lay an expert trap to get Alex to endorse this obviously idiotic position that is based in an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.
So you have a gotcha moment.
And I assure you, it is not the second one.
jordan holmes
Yeah, okay.
All right.
You know what?
Let's back up.
I'm sick of caring about real world stuff.
Let's get back into where I belong.
Comedy.
All right.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
You just had Alex Jones go off on a whole jag about how the future is Marilyn Monroe or whatever.
dan friesen
Right.
The Patriots.
unidentified
Whatever.
jordan holmes
It is.
I don't give a shit what his actual words are.
The point is, you've got Jimmy Doerr and Kurt Metzger, ostensible comedians.
And your response to that is not to riff.
It's not to enjoy yourself.
It's to go, hey, I heard the AP owns the Rothschilds or whatever it is.
Fuck you.
dan friesen
Fuck you.
jordan holmes
Have fun.
dan friesen
Yeah.
How dare you?
No, there's no fun here.
How dare you pretend to be.
jordan holmes
Stop doing stand-ups.
Stand-up is over.
Everybody should be done.
dan friesen
Jimmy's got some tour dates coming up.
jordan holmes
That is not real.
dan friesen
I bet he does.
jordan holmes
Oh, my God.
dan friesen
So anyway, the rest of all that, the stuff that Alex is saying has no connection to reality.
He's just taking input he refuses to understand, like Harari's writings or the article with that headline, Looking Forward to the End of Humanity, and ranting about his feelings about them.
If you're drawn into this meaning anything, the only thing you're doing is taking Alex's emotions on as truth and then pretending that it's something that's based in sources and information, and you're a fool.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you could be like, oh, Patriots are doing.
unidentified
You're like, ah, Alex, you're the hot air underneath Marilyn Monroe's dress.
jordan holmes
You know, you do just got just fucking something.
Acknowledge the man said something ridiculous.
Otherwise, I feel crazy.
dan friesen
Well, you're going to keep feeling crazy.
jordan holmes
I feel fucking crazy that he responded to that with like, ah, I heard the Rothschilds own the AP.
dan friesen
Interesting.
jordan holmes
How dare you?
dan friesen
So Alex has heard about the Rothschilds.
So now it's time to spout some fucking Nazi propaganda.
alex jones
And yeah, the Rothschilds, and that's a whole other story.
I'm sure you know it, but the British Empire was dominant until 1815.
Oh, God.
But it was in complete control for 100 years after that because the Battle of Waterloo was so decisive, defeating the continental forces of Napoleon Bonaparte for the second time with the Prussian British pincer attack that the Rothschilds,
this is on record, sent a carrier pigeon to a fast Corvette ship to race across and to tell everyone when the stock market opened that morning that Napoleon had won and that Lord Wellington had been smashed.
And the stock market went down 99%.
The Rothschilds then bought up 99%.
This is on record, 99% of the stock market.
So they were just the richest family in the world up until that point.
They were the richest family in the world up until that point on record.
Okay.
Married into the British royalty, everything.
Then after 1815, the Battle of Waterloo, they owned the British Empire.
All the major stocks, they got it.
Of course, Napoleon really lost.
And they only had six hours, six hours before they came in and said no.
dan friesen
Six hours.
alex jones
Wellington has won.
jordan holmes
It's almost hard to believe.
alex jones
He's won.
And then it all shot back up above where it even was.
So look for them to do this again with a cyber attack.
They're saying Trump supporters with no evidence were with a cyber attack.
Cancel the election.
The election he's 10 points ahead in or more.
dan friesen
Okay.
So we've talked about this many times, so I'm not going to belabor the point, but in case there are people listening who haven't heard some of our older episodes, this story about Nathan Rothschild is not true.
It's a piece of anti-Semitic lore that's been passed down over time, most prominently by the literal Nazi propaganda film called The Rothschild Share at Waterloo, produced at the command of Joseph Goebbels.
jordan holmes
Oh, and while we're here, we might as well plug Jewish Space Lasers in Mike Rothschild's excellent book.
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yep.
I was going to say Mike Rothschild, but I was looking at my notes and the name Matthew was there.
I almost called him Matthew Rothschild.
jordan holmes
Nice.
dan friesen
So anyway, this film, The Rothschild's Share at Waterloo, was part of a concerted media campaign to demonize Jewish people that included this film as well as the a little bit more blunt, The Eternal Jew.
So this story about Nathan Rothschild and the getting early information about Waterloo and using it to his advantage at the stock market traces further back to an 1846 pamphlet that was written by someone using the pen name Satan.
The person behind that was a deeply anti-Semitic dude named Matthew George D'Aarnville, who really hated the Rothschilds.
He wrote that pamphlet making up this story.
It gained popularity in anti-Semitic circles until it was made far more popular by literal Nazi propaganda material and is now endlessly parroted by idiots like Alex Jones and probably Jimmy Doerr in the future because he learns from memes.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I give it five, ten minutes.
dan friesen
Yeah, until he just repeats this as something I learned recently.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you know who told me this?
I can't remember who, but it sounds a lot like Alex Jones.
dan friesen
Oh my God, I learned this really fascinating thing about 1815.
jordan holmes
Man, it's great.
I'm always a fan of like guys like Alex's understanding of military history always fascinates me.
Like all this, like, oh, it's all about the pincer movement and all this stuff.
And it's like, man, war up until like a few years ago, really, it's just who shit themselves to death less.
unidentified
So what you're telling me is dysentery.
jordan holmes
It's dysentery.
dan friesen
It's like chess.
jordan holmes
It's like Oregon Trail is what it's like.
dan friesen
Now it's like risk.
Now it's a little overlay of monopoly.
jordan holmes
Now it's more like the Yukon Trail.
The sequel to the Oregon Trail, where you only slightly die of dysentery most of the time.
dan friesen
War is like Fortnite.
This is Alex's new special report.
jordan holmes
I know it is true.
dan friesen
So Alex just goes deeper into this.
This is just fucking dumb.
alex jones
They all admit this at the academic level like we're young animals.
I'm just reading what they're actually saying.
And they, in mainline PhD history books, they admit all this about the Rothschilds.
Now I go on there and say it.
They go anti-Semitic.
It has nothing to do with Jews to say that the Rothschilds did this and are super powerful.
I have an argument against Chinese because Ziji Ping is bad.
Am I saying Chinese are bad?
No, I'm not.
But it really is true that that's how a German Jewish banking family who ran pawn shops basically in Germany and loaned money to people.
That's how they parlayed their wealth from 500 years ago by 1815 to rule most of the earth.
The sun never set on the British Empire.
Then World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had gotten so dominant.
I don't mean to give a history lesson, but it's important to know that the British intelligence and the Black Hand assassinate France Ferdinand, the Archduke, the Germans all go crazy because they were winning with all the new patents, all the new science.
The British newspapers were talking about the German problem.
So the British Empire was corrupt, overextended.
And so World War I was started by them.
World War II was Hitler.
He was bad.
But the Versailles Treaty and all that led to Hitler coming to power.
You can read too many intelligence to control Hitler, but nudged him and funded him early on to have a new enemy.
dan friesen
So Alex, I mean, a lot of this isn't real history.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But what he's doing as it relates to the Rothschilds is textbook anti-Semitism.
And his denial of that really doesn't matter.
They don't teach the Rothschild share at Waterloo at the academic level unless you're studying to be a Nazi.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
This is condescending ass shit is what they teach at the graduate level.
I mean, the Black Hand didn't assassinate Fran Ferdinand, and all the rest of this shit is just bogus fake history.
We went over pretty much all this when we covered the film Endgame.
So if you want to hear more about that, it's all there.
jordan holmes
I'm amazed really that people like I don't think in this one space, truly, I don't believe it is anybody's fault, not Alex's, that he does not know the accurate, any accurate history at this time period.
I mean, you know, if you're like a 60-year-old dude, you have to stop and think: how many documentaries and shit on World War II and World War I have I watched?
dan friesen
A number.
jordan holmes
You know, like average for a 60-year-old white guy, a million.
dan friesen
They're a bunch.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Like, how could you even keep straight in your mind what facts are and are not true anymore?
dan friesen
Now imagine that you're a guy who's about 50, and for most of your life, your whole life was just one of those documentaries.
You've been really beholden to news sources that really want to excuse Hitler.
jordan holmes
They really love him.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Now think about how skewed your version of history is.
jordan holmes
Tough to view it accurately.
dan friesen
Crypto Nazis and shit.
Anyway, Alex rambles some more about world history.
And then Kurt Kurt comes in with something that really scares me.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
After World War I, the British Empire said, made a deal, and even Teddy Roosevelt wrote about this.
dan friesen
Bully.
alex jones
It was Churchill.
Winston Churchill wrote the three-volume set, The Histories of the British-Speaking Peoples.
He was half-American.
jordan holmes
Shut up.
alex jones
He says, in there, we came over after World War I, we set up the CFR, we merged British intelligence with U.S. intelligence.
And then that is the Anglo-American Empire.
They call it themselves.
And Putin says, I'm fighting the Anglo-American elite.
I have no problems with the Americans.
He said, I have a problem with your Anglo-American oligarchs.
He calls us the Anglo-Americans.
And who are they?
The Anglo-Americans come from a Norse tribe that later became William the Conqueror and took over France.
And they came and took over England.
So if you go back to all of this, they take the name of William the Conqueror's group from a thousand years ago.
kurt metzger
Alex, have you seen?
It is unbelievable if you ever see it.
There's a movie about the Rothschilds that's black and white that's made by them to promote them.
And it looks like something Hitler made to smear them.
And he's bragging about their films.
jordan holmes
Maybe we put two and two together.
unidentified
Yeah, they made it, but it looks like they didn't.
jordan holmes
They didn't make it.
kurt metzger
It's crazy if you ever, you find it.
dan friesen
So Alex's history is all over the place and kind of meaningless to break down, but those guys sure do love Putin.
I'm getting the sense that maybe they actually love Putin more than their anti-war guys.
But who's to say?
Who's to say, right?
jordan holmes
What the fuck is going on?
How is Putin popular?
unidentified
I don't know.
jordan holmes
I don't understand it.
dan friesen
Well, maybe directionalist rage plays into that, too.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you're probably right there.
dan friesen
So I'm going to give Kurt Metzger an amazing and undeserved benefit of the doubt and say that maybe he's talking about the American film The House of Rothschild, which was not made by the Rothschilds, but was created as an anti-Nazi film in 1934 and presents the Rothschilds family in a positive light.
It doesn't, however, look like Nazi propaganda.
And if Kurt is suggesting that the film he saw seemed like that, I think he might have seen the Nazi propaganda film The Rothschild Chair at Waterloo.
jordan holmes
See, that one sounds more likely.
dan friesen
But it's hard to say.
I further suspect this because that film includes the story that Alex just told, whereas the American one doesn't.
So that kind of seems like trouble.
jordan holmes
That's important.
dan friesen
So that film, the Nazi one, came out in 1940, but was also in black and white.
So the only way I can really figure out if we could get to the bottom of this is if Kurt said what language the movie was in.
And he doesn't say that.
So if it's German, that's Nazi shit.
If it's in English, then it's the House of Rothschild.
jordan holmes
Probably.
I find it hard to believe that a man can say.
It looks like Nazi propaganda.
Without going, maybe it's Nazi propaganda.
Not once did he even think.
It didn't even occur to him.
dan friesen
Well, but he's laughing about it because he's a humorist.
So now the topic shifts to immigration.
jordan holmes
Great.
No, no, I'm looking forward to their interesting discussion on how people should immigrate to places.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
jimmy dore
I wanted to just touch on the immigration problem because I've totally flipped on this.
jordan holmes
Is there an immigration fan?
jimmy dore
And I was always the more immigrants, the better, which I still love immigrants.
We're a whole country of immigrants.
jordan holmes
You should just stop there.
jimmy dore
But I noticed that it's being, this situation is being manipulated, and I couldn't really put my finger on why.
Why are they having an open border and which they are?
And right now, you have cities like Eric Adams in New York is screaming that their whole city is going to going down the toilet because they can't handle the influx of all these immigrants that are coming to his city.
It used to be a sanctuary city, and now he's trying to find a way to get them to stop, but they're not stopping.
And I was listening to Dick Durbin, who's a senator from my old home state, Illinois, and listen to what he says.
Here's one of the reasons why they want to get as many immigrants as they can in here.
Watch this.
dick durbin
The presiding officer, my colleague from the state of Illinois, has legislation which addresses one aspect of that.
Her bill, and I hope I describe it accurately, says that if you're an undocumented person in this country and you can pass the physical and the required test, background test, the like, you can serve in our military.
And if you do it honorably, we will make you citizens of the United States.
Do we need that?
Do you know what the recruiting numbers are at the Army, in the Navy, in the Air Force?
They can't reach their quotas each month.
They can't find enough people to join our military forces.
And there are those who are undocumented who want the chance to serve and risk their lives for this country.
jimmy dore
They don't want to serve in their own military in their own country.
They want to go to a foreign country and serve in their military.
This is according to the people.
alex jones
That's called mercenaries.
jimmy dore
Yeah, this is kind of how Rome ended, no?
And so this giving the game away there.
He says it right out in the open.
We have to fill our military with foreigners.
dan friesen
Your cops and our farms.
jimmy dore
And have be our farm workers, have them be our medical workers, and our military, and have them be our cops.
dan friesen
I'm not sure what the issue is here, at least not for Jimmy.
I understand that Alex is a xenophobic racist and sees any erosion of white control on power or white power as a threat to himself.
But with Jimmy, that doesn't quite make sense.
jordan holmes
I don't understand.
dan friesen
I guess if I'm to be as generous as possible, then this must be coming from his stated anti-war position.
He must not like this because we don't need any more soldiers since we shouldn't be fighting in all these wars.
But in that case, this is a military size issue, not an immigration issue.
And Jimmy said that he flipped on his position on immigration, which is where this idea started.
Jimmy used to think that more immigrants coming in, the better, but now he doesn't.
He hasn't specified what his actual position is, but the change in thinking has something to do with offering immigrants paths to citizenship that involve signing up for military service.
I don't know, but maybe I'm small-minded, but I have a tough time seeing a way this shift in position isn't really just him catering to the audience he's carved out by hanging out with folks like Tucker Carlson.
jordan holmes
I don't like this.
Why would you, why would you, here's the only reason you can have an opinion on that is because you watched Starship Troopers or you read Starship Troopers and you either agree with the movie you watched or the book that you read.
So either you go, this is dystopic, fucked up shit, or you go, yeah, we should really kill immigrants.
Like, there's only two ways to go.
alex jones
Don't you worry.
dan friesen
We'll get plenty of sci-fi movies later.
unidentified
Don't worry.
jordan holmes
I know.
I know.
dan friesen
I don't know as much about exactly what Dick Durbin was suggesting because typically.
jordan holmes
It's the movie Starship Troopers.
dan friesen
Well, but typically a lot of these folks who have tried to get these bills passed for various police jobs and stuff, it's for resident non-citizens.
It's not for undocumented immigrants.
I'm not sure if he misspoke or if that is actually what the bill is.
Sure.
But either way, it doesn't matter.
I don't understand what Jimmy's point is.
And it is just a, hey, let's kick the door pun.
jordan holmes
Nice.
dan friesen
Let's kick the door open for some fucking racism.
jordan holmes
All right.
alex jones
Well, I can tell you exactly what's going on.
And you're dead on.
Look, there's UN documents.
Before that, there's a 100-year-old called Kalergi Plan in Europe.
And the royalty got together and they said, our people are too uppity.
But if we bring in giant third-world populations that we control and that we put on government jobs and government assistance, it'll be a new Praetorian guard for us.
But it's worse than that.
If you go back to the lockdowns that only went on for like a year and a half here or in Europe or Australia, they went on under IMF World Bank control over those countries that are in deep debt to the central banks.
They were under two, two and a half, three-year lockdowns, and they did big polls of the migrants.
And they said, there's no jobs.
The farms are shut.
The factories are shut.
I'm starving to death.
I've got to come here.
So they're victims of globalism being shut down.
Yeah.
dan friesen
Big polls.
jordan holmes
That makes sense.
dan friesen
So pure and simple, Alex is just regurgitating white nationalist talking points.
He whipped out the Kalergi plan reference real fast.
That was interesting because, man, he doesn't use that name much.
I think that Alex knows on some level that using that name, the Kalergi plan, is kind of signifying pretty clearly that you're a white nationalist or white nationalist adjacent.
And I guess he's fine doing that here.
I have a strong suspicion that what's going on is that Alex is subtly testing Jimmy.
Alex very seldom uses that name, even when discussing his immigration-related conspiracies.
So it seems to me that this might be a bit of a trial balloon.
If Jimmy shows awareness of this name, and actually Kurt seemed to, then maybe they're on the same team as Alex.
If Jimmy doesn't push back on him when he brings it up, Alex at very least has learned that he's talking to someone who has no idea about the history of these ideas that they're discussing.
So he has free reign to just say whatever he wants.
There's no such thing as the Kalergi plan.
Richard von Kudenhoff Kalergi wrote a book called Practical Idealism, which speculated that in the future, distinctions between ethnic groups would disappear as cultures intermingled.
This was repurposed by Nazis and white supremacists as being indicative of a plan to force non-white immigration into peoples to destroy the white race through forced intermingling.
In his text, Kalergi is wrestling with the differences in different sorts of population.
Rural versus city dwellers, the junker versus the literati, the gentleman versus the bohemian.
And in this particular section, the inbred versus the crossbred.
jordan holmes
Hey, good work, buddy.
dan friesen
Not great stuff all the time.
jordan holmes
Nice timing.
dan friesen
To be honest.
jordan holmes
You're going to be great.
dan friesen
So in that section, he says, quote, truthful people are always silent because every claim is, in a sense, a lie.
Pure-hearted people are always inactive because every act is, in a sense, wrong.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Bravery is but to speak when the risk is a lie.
To do and to act risks injustice.
jordan holmes
Boo!
dan friesen
A little poetic.
jordan holmes
Rewrite!
dan friesen
This is still a quote.
Okay.
Inbreeding strengthens the character, weakens the spirit.
alex jones
What?
dan friesen
Crossbreeding weakens the character, strengthens the mind.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
Where inbreeding and crossbreeding meet under happy auspices, they bear witness to the highest type of human being.
The strongest character combines with the sharpest mind.
Where inbreeding and mixture come together under unfortunate auspices, they create degenerative types of weak character and dull mind.
Man will be hybrid in the distant future.
Today's races are increasingly falling victim to the fact that space, time, and prejudice are being overcome.
The Eurasian Negroid race of the future, outwardly similar to the ancient Egyptian, will replace the diversity of peoples with a variety of personalities.
So anyway, Calergy sucks, but in a different way than Alex and his white supremacist buddies say.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
There also is no Calergy playing, and I would bet anything Alex doesn't even know the name of that text, Practical Idealism.
It's just a Nazi meme that he likes to spout while he waddles around pretending to be an intellectual.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Also, there was no real lockdown here, and it definitely didn't last a year and a half.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Certainly didn't last three, four years in these unspecified other countries either.
So weird, Alex's never specific about any of that stuff.
Almost like he's like riffing on vibes.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Yeah, that guy should never have learned about those pea pods and how they breed and stuff.
That was a bad move.
dan friesen
Shouldn't have gotten into the Mendelevian.
jordan holmes
We should all have just been like, maybe let's not mess with it.
Maybe let's not mess with it because sooner or later, some asshole is going to have some real bad ideas.
And then here we are.
dan friesen
And write about it very flowery languagey.
jordan holmes
Wow.
dan friesen
I mostly kept that to a part where I thought it would annoy you.
jordan holmes
You thought it would kill me, man.
It did.
It did.
It broke my heart.
Yes.
dan friesen
So anyway, Alex weaves from this to a pretty racist conspiracy theory.
alex jones
All these blue cities have passed laws for illegals to vote in local elections.
unidentified
They're under organizers.
alex jones
They're told how to vote.
Now they get fast-tracked into the military.
They purge the military with the shots and critical race theory.
unidentified
What?
alex jones
And so all the professionals get out.
jordan holmes
Critical race theory.
alex jones
Now they're going to replace it with the domestic security force that Obama talked about that's just as big and just as strong as our military.
And Illinois and other states are passing laws to have illegal aliens, as your co-host said, be the police.
So you nailed it.
History doesn't just rhyme.
It repeats.
Rome started doing this, and in a couple hundred years, they collapsed because the enforcers they brought in said, hey, we're the bosses.
Well, this won't take hundreds of years.
dan friesen
So we talked about this on a recent show, but all these blue cities aren't legalizing undocumented immigrants voting in local elections.
There are a couple of places that have made it so non-citizen permanent residents can vote in things like the school board election where their kids go to school.
Racist lie number one.
These non-citizen residents are not under the sway of community organizers who tell them how to vote for school board elections.
Racist lie number two.
No one's getting fast-tracked to the military.
Racist lie number three.
jordan holmes
What does that even mean?
dan friesen
I don't know.
They are purging the military through vaccines and critical race theory to remove the professionals so they can be replaced by immigrants.
Racist lie number four.
jordan holmes
How would you purge the military with critical race theory?
Just as your only tool, all right?
You've got a military.
Let's video game this, right?
We've got a military.
15% needs purging.
All right.
Your only tool, critical race theory.
How do you do it?
dan friesen
I don't.
Damn it.
I can't pull a good reference, but you just chase people around the room with a book, I guess, by one of the people who wrote about critical race theory.
jordan holmes
All right.
So you start with the TV show Ghostwriter.
unidentified
Yes.
jordan holmes
All right.
unidentified
Sure.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Now, I don't know.
I mean, it's just buzzwords.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Obama's domestic force was stuff like the Peace Corps.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I was going to say, wasn't that?
dan friesen
It wasn't police and military.
jordan holmes
It wasn't like volunteer to help at the grocery store sometimes, I guess.
dan friesen
That's just the propaganda narrative that Alex has fraudulently been peddling for a decade.
Racist lie number five.
No one is passing laws to allow undocumented immigrants to be police.
There are conversations about how it makes some sense to allow non-citizen permanent residents to be allowed to pursue careers in law enforcement, which is a very different thing.
Racist lie number six.
As you can see in that short 45-second clip, Alex spews out six distinct lies that are all based on fake, racist, and xenophobic propaganda.
This is what his entire point is based on.
And all Kurt and Jimmy can do is impotently nod along and let their audience digest this as if it's real.
This is either an indication that they're dangerously ill-equipped to have the conversations that they're having or they belong on fucking Infowars.
So they're the same thing.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I'm just so confused by the show aspect of this.
I think that's what keeps that's what I keep coming back to.
It's like, okay, I'm fine with the idea that they've got Alex on to do the thing.
I'm not understanding how it is that you're supposed to be Jimmy Dore and Kurt Metzger and your best show is like, yeah, totally.
dan friesen
I don't know if this is their best show.
jordan holmes
I mean, it looks like they're doing their best.
dan friesen
I don't see a lot of effort being exerted.
jordan holmes
Well, I think that might be our problem.
dan friesen
That is true.
You know what, though?
You let Alex come in.
You let him carry it.
jordan holmes
Is that what's that?
Is this their off day?
Are they taking the day off?
They're like, oh, we got Alex in so I can rest my voice.
They're all drinking tea and shit.
Maybe.
Maybe.
dan friesen
So we get to climate change.
jordan holmes
Why?
dan friesen
Why not?
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
And this is lowering the standards, not helping the third world, but lowering them and lowering us again so no one can aspire to the big carbon footprint.
Austerity is good.
Humans are bad.
Cows are evil.
We've got to get rid of them.
The cow farts are bad.
Well, we fart too.
And I said that years ago.
I said, when they're done going after the cows, which they've started, Netherlands is getting rid of a bunch.
Ireland, you name it.
Sri Lanka, Massive Stars, Ireland.
Notice what they said.
I said, next will be our breath is bad.
Wall Street Journal, New York Times, USA Today, London Guardian, all two weeks ago said breathing is bad for the earth.
No, the gases we put off hold actually in the sun.
We're off-gassing into space.
jordan holmes
We have to hold in the sun.
That's the point.
alex jones
You can debate this all day, but they know that's how it works.
So now they've officially said breathing is bad.
Well, whales breathe, dolphins breathe, chipmunks breathe, birds breathe, lizards breathe.
jordan holmes
Give five more examples.
alex jones
So imagine the mania.
Two men can have a baby.
There are no longer Y and X chromosomes.
jordan holmes
Then have a baby.
alex jones
Bill Nye the Science Guy teaches that officially.
Of course, your breath is evil.
kurt metzger
Even human farts.
They all say about human farting, not just cows.
jimmy dore
Right.
kurt metzger
You have to buy fart credits.
jordan holmes
Yeah, Kurt, we heard.
kurt metzger
Comedy fart offices happening by for the year.
alex jones
And I know this is all exhausting, folks, but that's why I'm so freaked out.
dan friesen
I can't believe you talked over comedy happening.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
He has fart credits for the year.
Good stuff.
So I guess Jimmy and Kurt are on the side of climate change being a hoax, I guess.
Because that's what Alex is telling them.
And they're just laughing along.
jordan holmes
What are they even doing now?
dan friesen
I don't know.
So Alex's whole, they're saying breathing is bad is based on a daily mail headline he skimmed, which is about an article published in the PLOS One journal titled, Measurements of Methane and Nitrous Oxide in Human Breath and the Development of UK Scale Emissions.
The aim of the study was to get an idea of the scale of human breath emissions by assessing 104 volunteers.
One part of it was looking at emissions, but another part was seeing if there was any difference between demographic groups or between people who had different dietary patterns.
They found no differences between these groups that was significant.
Ultimately, here's what their conclusion found: quote, while emissions of CH4 and N2O account for only 0.05 and 0.1% of total emissions in the UK national greenhouse gas inventories, respectively, we would urge caution that the assumption that emissions from humans are negligible.
We report only emissions in breath in this study, and flatchous emissions are likely to increase these values significantly, though no literature characterizes these emissions for people in the UK.
Assuming that livestock and other wild animals also exhale emissions of N2O, there may be a small but significant unaccounted for source of N2O emissions in the UK, which could account for more than 1% of national scale emissions.
Naturally, there were a ton of publications that are desperate for clicks, like the Daily Mail.
So they really zeroed in on that line: quote, we would urge caution in the assumption that emissions from humans are negligible because that's the part that drives attention cycles for climate-denying fabulous like Alex, which in turn drives traffic to their sensational ass articles.
Even at their highest estimate, they're saying around 1% of national emissions may come from human exhalation, which isn't a significant thing.
Human breathing is, first of all, necessary to life, whereas burning fossil fuels is not, strictly speaking, necessary.
In theory, human CO2 production is almost exactly offset by the amount of CO2 we take in in the form of the products of photosynthesis, like plants and animals that were fed with plants.
There's a difference between CO2 emissions, which aren't necessarily bad, and excessive CO2 emissions, which are bad.
Alex knows there's a difference between those two, but he uses sensationalized and inaccurate coverage of Daily Mail articles like this in order to blur those lines to the audience, because if they understood the difference, they'd probably see through his ridiculous farce of an argument.
So, I guess Jimmy and Kurt don't believe in climate change.
It sounds like they're on board for trans people not existing, but pretty difficult to find any position that Jimmy has that's even remotely close to any kind of left politics that I recognize.
Seems he's kind of just a Trump guy who doesn't want to be called that.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
I mean, maybe he has some progressive thoughts on Rome's government that we could be looking over.
You know, like he's like, hey, oh, I wish Rome had been more progressive.
And so since they weren't Trump, that makes sense.
dan friesen
Well, the thing that was great about Rome's government was that they weren't bogged down by this climate change rig-amarole red tape hoax.
jordan holmes
Oh, my God.
dan friesen
You know what I'm saying?
jordan holmes
I appreciate because here's what I didn't see it coming.
dan friesen
All right.
jordan holmes
I appreciate that the climate deniers are still hanging on.
2003, 2005, you know, you got people bringing snowballs into the Congress.
dan friesen
That was cool.
jordan holmes
And you go, wow, I bet this will be fine 20 years from now when we all are like, ha ha ha, that guy's stupid.
But now they're just like, ah, we're going to bring a snowball everywhere.
That's what they are.
They just do that until we all die.
I'm fine with that.
dan friesen
And then Fox News will have a little video of a snowball.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
They'll be like, remember these?
Remember snowballs?
So those are nice.
dan friesen
Alex continues with his climate stuff, and it leads a predictable place.
jordan holmes
Sure.
alex jones
I've known about this 40 years because I had family that told me about it from the inside.
And now I'm just some guy up here trying to warn people I'm not perfect.
dan friesen
And I'm just threatened.
alex jones
Jimmy's not the threat.
Tucker Carlson's not the threat.
We at least know we live here.
We at least know that you can't have nuclear reactors, almost all of them leaking, while you cut off all the coal power.
dan friesen
Alex was paused and was a little confused there because he doesn't really know if he should be pro or anti-nuclear power.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I'm interested to know where they stand on that because I feel like they flip-flop an awful lot.
dan friesen
He is very against cutting off nuclear power plants in his book, but he didn't write that book.
Right.
So I'm not sure with Alex.
alex jones
Now, that'll happen.
We know the ship is sinking, and they think they're going to sink it with the Great Reset and then build back better their new system.
And so, again, I'll plug it because they're trying to shut me down.
I need the funds, and I appreciate you letting me do it.
Plus, these are really good books.
This went to number one.
New York Times wouldn't put it in their bestseller, but it went to number one, Wall Street Journal, USNA list.
This book has been the top of the charts.
It's part two.
It's twice as thick.
You've got the Death Star plans, the Great Reset, and the War for the World.
And then you've got the Great Awakening, defeating the Globalists.
This gets into it, and this lays out an alternate team humanity program.
I was on with Elon Musk, again, a few weeks ago for two and a half hours.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
alex jones
And he said, yeah, the globalists want to depopulate us.
They want to destroy civilization.
We may never be able to restart it once they cut it off.
Fossil fuels aren't perfect.
We need to phase them out, but they're a bridge.
It'll take decades to do it.
What they're doing now, I've looked at the numbers.
This is Elon Musk.
We'll cause billions to starve to death, and that'll cause giant wars.
dan friesen
That sounds like you.
jordan holmes
He's an idiot.
And so are you.
alex jones
You should call this Team Humanity versus Team Death Cult.
And he said, I agree.
Let's call it Team Humanity.
Well, Team Humanity is in this book.
And I hope people will go to InfowarsStore.com and get it.
dan friesen
So I really hope this is just paid programming and Jimmy got money to do this interview because otherwise he looks like a fucking idiot getting steamrolled.
jordan holmes
He better be getting paid for this.
dan friesen
Also, because it's fun, Alex's book never made it on any bestseller list.
It was at the top of Amazon for a short period of time, but quickly dropped.
As for his new book, Alex has been complaining on air that he can't even sell the first run that he ordered.
So I imagine people just didn't want a book that was twice as thick.
Like if you're using the first one to level out your coffee table, a thicker book will just put it out of balance again.
You know, it's not wise.
Just because I'm petty, I went back and I looked at the Wall Street Journal's bestseller list because that's what Alex brought up.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
They've recently stopped that feature, but Alex's Great Reset came out in August 20th, 2022.
So that's in a time period where the sales were covered.
jordan holmes
You can look at it.
dan friesen
That week, Spelljammer Adventures in Space topped the hardcover nonfiction list.
Visits of the Coast.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
But Tim Scott and Paul Manafort had titles in the top 10.
So it's clear there's no political slant against conservatives.
jordan holmes
Wait, they put like Dungeon Strategy Guide?
dan friesen
It's in the hardcover nonfiction section.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, no, I had, I mean, yeah, that's cool.
That's cool.
dan friesen
I thought all bestseller lists do, and I think some might compartmentalize it off to a list.
jordan holmes
No, but I think that's cool, and I think it's deserved.
Sure.
That's what I think.
dan friesen
So the next week, still no Alex.
But Jared Kushner's book, Breaking History, a White House Memoir, was number one, and the hardcover nonfiction.
So it looks like there's no squashing of Trump voices here.
jordan holmes
Jared Kushner?
dan friesen
Yeah, he wrote a book.
jordan holmes
Wow.
dan friesen
So then, on September 3rd, Alex finally pops in at number two behind Jeanette McCurdy's book, I'm Glad My Mom Died.
The next week, September 10th, so Alex should have some kind of like really good pre-9-11 buzz going.
Sure.
But oops, he dropped down to number nine, then disappeared from the list altogether.
He had that little blip because every audience member he had that was going to buy the book bought it at the same time, and it was good enough for number two.
That's a kind of unbalanced path that really doesn't indicate that much global interest in a piece of media, which you can compare with something like McCurdy's book.
By January of 2023, she was still at number three, and her book had been released two weeks before Alex's.
That was a genuine hit.
Whereas Alex's book was a desperate cash grab that he didn't even write, and the sales figures represent that.
The second reason his book didn't make any of those lists isn't because of censorship, but probably because people bought the first one and they were underwhelmed with the second book.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's tough.
dan friesen
That book sucked.
And Alex's information isn't that interesting when a coked-out weirdo isn't yelling it at you.
That really goes a long way towards making any of this palatable.
jordan holmes
It really does.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
It really does.
dan friesen
You didn't even read his book.
jordan holmes
I don't need to.
dan friesen
So you don't even know the difference.
jordan holmes
You don't even know how bad it is.
I read one sentence from a distance.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Yep.
So Alex, he has his book.
alex jones
Sure.
dan friesen
He's showing it.
jordan holmes
He's showing the book.
dan friesen
And Jimmy catches a little something.
unidentified
Uh-oh.
jimmy dore
Who is the co-author of that Great Awakening book?
dan friesen
Uh-oh.
alex jones
Kit Heavenlively, heckin' lively, great guy.
I mean, what happened is I recorded a bunch of stuff, gave him hundreds of articles and documents, really thousands.
It was 800.
He wrote it as long when I'd written it.
unidentified
I said it.
alex jones
Kent and their lawyer.
He's a lawyer too.
Because, you know, I'm Alex Jones.
They fact-checked everything.
And there was one thing I put in the book.
dan friesen
Wait a second.
We had to pause it for a second.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
Alex is saying they checked it over because I'm Alex Jones.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's recognizing that no one believes his shit.
jordan holmes
No one believes the thing I say.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
They had to double check it because it's me.
dan friesen
Because I'm Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Even twice as right as I knew it always was.
dan friesen
That's interesting.
alex jones
That they couldn't prove.
It was theoretical, the story of you put fleas in a jar and they learn they can't jump out of it.
And then once you take them out of the jar, they never jump higher than the jar.
And I thought it was a good allegory, but I put it in the book like it was true.
Turned out no one can prove it ever happened, but it's a good theoretical analogy.
That was the one thing out of 800 pages that prove everything else.
They vetted everything.
Of course, that got cut from the book.
dan friesen
Yeah.
alex jones
But and it got cut to 400 pages.
But this is kind of stream of consciousness.
Alex Jones, The Great Awakening.
This is what I actually say.
A lot of people are going to watch this millions.
I bet 10 million.
dan friesen
I got to pause it again because I didn't realize when I first was listening through this, he was saying that that flea story is the one thing that got cut out of the book.
But also 400 pages got cut.
What else was in there?
jordan holmes
No, he said it was 400 pages.
dan friesen
No, he said it was 800 pages when he gave it to Kent.
jordan holmes
No shit.
dan friesen
That's what he said.
jordan holmes
Oh, but that doesn't count.
That was all printed out articles that fucking Twitter.
dan friesen
Or he's just rambling audio notes.
But still, that's 400 pages worth of stuff.
And I guarantee there's other complete bullshit that was in there.
If you consider what kind of bullshit made it in, holy shit, the cutting room floor has got to be bad.
jordan holmes
I don't want to be there.
No.
No.
alex jones
And people watch this the next week.
And they're going to say, I never knew this guy talked about all this because all they see, and they're going to do this, they're going to take me talking about Willie Nelson's spit, and that'll be the story.
Instead of, you know, Zuckerberg and the WEF say, we're going to control you in the workplace reading your thoughts.
I mean, people should know that they're collectively building a digital prison.
We're already in it.
dan friesen
Man, Alex can't finish a thought.
I paused it a little bit, so it probably took away some of the ways that it felt like this is just jumping from A to B to C to D. He's in mid-season form, and by that I mean he's high on something.
I have a strong suspicion that Jimmy asked Alex about Kent because he knows who Kent is, and Jimmy may have wanted to talk some COVID vaccine conspiracies.
But instead, here we go, and Alex is off to the races.
jordan holmes
Because, you know, Kent Hicken Lively, co-writer with Judy Mike vaccine.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So there's so much untrue stuff in Alex's book.
The idea that a legal team vetted it is hilarious, number one.
And the idea that the only thing they couldn't stand behind was some dumb shit about a flea jumping.
That's just amazing.
You can find my book-length breakdown of Alex's stupid book and the things he's very wrong and lying about at alexjonesisanidiot.com.
Also, because I'm petty, Kent wrote those books many times slipping into the first person and saying things Alex would absolutely never say.
It's a sloppy mess of a book, desperate for an author.
Also, because I'm very petty, Alex is a little bit off in his prediction for how many people would watch Jimmy's interview.
As of this recording, a week after it was posted to Jimmy's YouTube page, it has 474,000 views.
Not bad.
jordan holmes
That's more than I would hope.
dan friesen
But significantly lower than Alex's prediction and a ton of Jimmy's videos, like the 727,000 that his interview with Tucker got.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And because I'm insanely petty, here is the oldest clip, or a clip from the oldest video on Jimmy Doerr's channel where he's making fun of somebody who is a climate denier.
jimmy dore
Right now we're going to talk about, so you know how the oh my God goes, I play something from a religious nut and then we make fun of it.
This is from Brian Fisher.
We've had him on the show before.
Brian Fisher, he's the director of issues analysis of the conservative fundamentalist American Family Asshole Association.
And on Thursday, he had an expert to come on and talk about fossil fuels.
And here, let's have some fun.
Here we go.
unidentified
Let me just connect that to a biblical parable, the parable of the talents.
You know, the unfaithful steward, the wicked and lazy steward, as the master calls him, was the one who buried his talent in the ground and didn't do anything with it to multiply it.
That's essentially what those who say we need to stop using oil, coal, and natural gas are telling us to do.
Just leave those resources buried in the ground rather than pulling them out and multiplying their value for human benefit.
jimmy dore
Yeah, that's what they're saying because when you pull them out of the ground for human benefit, it releases carbon into the air and causes climate change.
And it's a real dirty way to create energy.
That would be wise.
dan friesen
The guy who's saying.
jordan holmes
Has he ever been funny?
dan friesen
But that's also that guy who's saying stuff that Alex believes.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, well, yeah.
dan friesen
That's very similar, almost identical, actually, to what Alex believes.
jordan holmes
Yeah, we've heard him say something almost identical.
dan friesen
And it's very close to the thing that Alex just said about how we need to off-gas and all of this stuff.
He just didn't go as far as his, maybe would say in another place, which is God put it there for us to find to terra farm or, you know, what's it called?
Terraform.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
In order to save the world by burning excess CO2.
So anyway, maybe Alex's position is actually dumber than the one that is in this oldest clip on Jimmy's YouTube channel.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
That's dark.
Time is a mean mother.
dan friesen
Yep, but it does prove you don't get funnier.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
Sinbad's quote is always going to, you're funnier when you ride the bus.
Sinbad's always going to be right about that.
unidentified
Yep.
jordan holmes
Yep.
Praise.
dan friesen
What?
What was that?
jordan holmes
I was giving it up to Sinbad.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So Alex gives it up to Jimmy.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
And himself, by extension.
Sure.
Because they're both right all the time.
And they always provide sources for things.
alex jones
Jimmy just showed everything he said.
He showed you a clip or an article.
And I try to do the same thing on my show.
And maybe our interpretation's wrong.
The point is, we're right about more than we're wrong.
I would say I watch your show all the time.
95% accurate.
I'm 95% accurate.
And that's really a pretty accurate number, folks, because stuff's so wild, I wouldn't even need to think about making stuff up.
I mean, here's a quick example.
Three years ago, Bill Gates files a patent for this nanotech that puts little microscopic spikes into your skin to track you and/or deliver vaccines.
They had articles saying it wasn't true, and they weren't planning that, even though it was official.
He came out last week and officially said they're launching the technology, but spun it like it's no big deal.
And he says, you know, the thing is, we're going to put vaccines in your food so you basically will comply because you won't know any better.
kurt metzger
Like a cow.
alex jones
So again, this is what?
kurt metzger
Max Wimenthal told us about it.
jimmy dore
So, yeah, he did.
And he did Bill Gates was talking about putting mRNA into our planets.
And so you don't have to worry about vaccines.
That's what he was saying.
That's not what I'm saying.
dan friesen
So I'm glad these guys are so researched and they're so on the ball and write all the time.
Like 95% is a very accurate number.
It makes it really reassuring to listen to them because I know they're really good at this and they're right all the time and they're basing their points on facts.
So I can just turn off my brain and critical thinking skills.
I can just trust they have it covered and really enjoy myself.
What's this now?
Bill Gates wants to put mRNA into the food.
I better look into this one.
It's a little too serious to take just on faith.
Oh my God.
I Googled it and I found this tweet that Bill Gates posted that says, quote, vaccines in our food supplies solves the problem of vaccine hesitancy.
Oh my God, he does want to put mRNA in our food.
That's what the image of this tweet says.
This picture, it says, quote, Bill Gates vows to pump RNA into food supply to force jab the unvaccinated.
That's certainly written like a facsimile of an actual headline.
So I probably should believe it.
Oh, wait, that's a fake tweet that someone photoshopped that's circulating on right-wing social media.
Oh, man.
This is just a link to an article on Robert Malone's insane substack.
Ah, shit.
Looks like maybe Jimmy didn't have a source on this one.
I'm sure he's like 95% right.
This is just one of those few cases that it's not.
To the extent that any of this has any connection to reality, there are promising potentials in mRNA technology in terms of livestock vaccinations.
There's no way that that could then vaccinate you by eating vaccinated animals, though.
That's stupid.
But then again, clearly, Jimmy's pretty stupid.
This happens all the time.
Like a couple months back, Gates had invented, quote, an air vaccine to force vaccinate people.
But guess what?
That was bullshit, too.
But this information economy relies on a constant flow of scary and exciting claims to survive.
So it will never stop.
Also, Alex is making up that stuff about Bill Gates getting a patent for like nanotech spikes.
This was a patent.
It was numbered 060606, which is actually 666, which of course is the devil.
Alex's example for how everything is so crazy that he doesn't need to make things up is, in fact, a made-up thing.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Which is poetry.
jordan holmes
I think it's appropriate.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Appropriumity.
jordan holmes
I am amazed.
I'm amazed that, like, despite the fact that they know they don't know anything about science.
Like, I know I don't know anything about science.
I'm not acting like, oh, they're putting mRNA in the what?
I don't know fundamentally what that means.
Like, they're putting mRNA in a thing.
You cannot explain to me what that means in a way that will make it mean something.
Right.
Like, mRNA is what?
Are you talking about the type of RNA?
Are you talking about a vaccine?
What vaccine?
What chemicals?
Is a chemical going to then interact?
Does it give me antibodies?
Does it not give me antibodies?
Is it ingestible?
Is it through the skin?
Like, none of what you say means anything.
dan friesen
Number one, it's tasty.
unidentified
Number two, now we're talking.
dan friesen
So in their world, they are of the belief that these cows or animals can be given some sort of an mRNA thing that will alter their DNA and then make it so when you eat them, it will also alter your DNA.
It's all a load of shit.
I get what you're saying, though.
Like, I also don't understand science on the deep level that a scientist does.
And I understand that.
And typically, a lot of my understanding about these things has to do with you made a claim.
I'm going to follow it up.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I'm going to go wherever you're pointing to and see what the shit is there.
Right.
And I can say fairly confidently that I have no faith in their understanding of anything.
Yeah.
That's good enough.
See, at the moment.
jordan holmes
But for me, for me, that's where I get so mad at them.
All right.
Is because if you're going to invent science and then use it dumbly, that makes that bums me out, right?
Okay.
So if you're saying that they can give mRNA to a cow, which will alter its DNA, and then us eating that cow will alter our DNA.
All right.
Now, I don't give a fuck about vaccines at that point.
You have introduced the power to feed a cow something that will alter its DNA, and then I will have my DNA altered.
You have just entered into a realm of I should be able to glow now.
Right now, I want to glow.
dan friesen
It is a bit magical.
jordan holmes
If I don't glow, fuck you.
dan friesen
Put that on your pipe and smoke it.
jordan holmes
That is my argument for vaccines.
I can't glow.
dan friesen
I just saw a clip the other day of Brett Weinstein, the professor who got mad at the no white people on campus day thing that became a right-wing celebrity.
He, you know, he's a big COVID vaccine opponent now.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, yeah, you fall into a gig like that.
dan friesen
He was just on Tucker, and he was saying 17 million people have been killed by the COVID vaccine.
17 million.
Remarkable.
jordan holmes
That's that really should.
Like, if you're a scientist, when you say that you should get to mug to the camera, like there should be a moment where you turn and you're like, 17 million, aren't I a stinker?
You know, because like you're foolish.
You know, you're foolish.
dan friesen
You kind of have to.
jordan holmes
You know.
dan friesen
Kind of have to know that.
jordan holmes
You know.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So we have this next clip goes into the anti-vax, so it's appropriate, I guess.
Sure.
I'm going to give a trigger warning in advance of this clip because Alex yells the word rape repeatedly.
alex jones
Great.
dan friesen
And it's unpleasant, and I do not care for it much.
But the underlying point that he's making is something that's worth talking about.
alex jones
Gotcha.
I was on Joe Rogan a few years ago, and I said the majority of polio is caused by the polio vaccine.
And Joe said, Alex, I'm fat-checking that right now.
I can't believe it.
Holds up A.P. Reuters' headline.
Again, I'm not saying rape is good of children.
It's terrible.
It's horrible.
We fight it all the time.
But if I was a child, I would rather be raped than be given polio and paralyzed for life or killed.
So they're raping people with stuff that's killing them.
So this is rape.
And the UN treaty to take over our bodies and our medical system is rape and systems to scan our brains at the office is invasion of privacy and rape.
If your boss wanted to stick their finger up your butt, he would go to jail.
He would be sued.
But if they want to stick their fingers in your brain, it's okay.
jimmy dore
Well, I think I have to say that the polio vaccine, Kurt, is safe and effective.
kurt metzger
All vaccines are slow spread.
jimmy dore
And it certainly does slow spread.
kurt metzger
Look at that spread slowing.
jimmy dore
Look at it.
And it works.
alex jones
No, no, actually, yeah, it's all no one search engine.
Majority of new polio cases caused by vaccine.
That's not, that's, it's actually true, but you're right.
You can't even say stuff that's true because we're not a doctor Fauci.
dan friesen
Oh, man.
So I guess Jimmy and Kurt are also totally anti-vaccine.
jordan holmes
Are we doing this?
dan friesen
I didn't realize that.
I thought they just had some kind of like dumb COVID tyranny kind of thing, but I guess Jimmy's just gobbling this bullshit up and signing off on Alex's really dangerous and offensive rant.
That's really bad.
So Alex is so goddamn full of shit.
Leaving aside the rank flippancy about rape, there's a little piece of information that he's conveniently not saying about the polio vaccine.
In 1988, there were approximately 350,000 wild cases just that year in 125 countries.
Because of the vaccine's wide availability, there were six reported cases of wild cases in 2021.
There are only two countries in the world where there's still wild polio that's not been eradicated, which are Pakistan and Afghanistan.
And even their cases are super uncommon, thanks to vaccination programs.
Alex knows that.
He knows that the polio vaccination campaign is one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine.
And he knows that this most cases are caused by the vaccine is a fraudulent talking point that he uses to attack vaccination.
He knows that the words most cases are caused by vaccines is true, but he also knows damn well that he's lying by omitting the surrounding context, which he omits because it illustrates how wrong his overall point is.
Also, in these cases where the vaccine is leading to a case of polio, it's often not the person who got vaccinated that is getting polio.
The live weakened virus version of the vaccine can, in some cases, lead to people spreading that weakened virus.
In well-vaccinated communities, this isn't a problem.
However, to quote the polio eradication project, quote, in communities with low immunization rates, as the virus spreads from one unvaccinated child to another over a long period of time, often over the course of 12 to 18 months, it can mutate and take on a form that can cause paralysis, just like the wild polio virus.
This mutated polio virus can then spread in communities, leading to circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus.
This is not difficult to understand, which is why Alex lies about it the way he does.
Alex attacks the polio vaccine not because it's giving tons of people polio, but because it was so effective at protecting people from polio, particularly the people Alex would rather see dead, like folks in the developing world.
I understand where Alex is coming from, and his lie is really transparent, but what the hell do Jimmy and Kurt think?
Do they really think the polio vaccine is bad because in 2020 there were 959 reported cases of vaccine-derived polio in the whole world?
I find it difficult to really believe they don't understand this dynamic.
So there's really only two options.
The first is that they are fully committed to this anti-vax propaganda world and they're comfortable lying about this stuff the same way Alex is.
The second is that they're the types of people who are so irresponsible with information that they can hear someone say most polio cases are caused by the vaccine and have their mind blown to the point where they don't need any further context or information to make up their mind.
Either way, this show is fucking dumb.
And it's dumb in ways that I didn't even realize.
Like I thought Jimmy was kind of like it seemed weird to me the ways that he had presented himself as, you know, kind of this left-leaning guy.
And then, oh, what's this?
He's showing up at like anti-mask rallies.
jordan holmes
I thought what's this?
dan friesen
He's really mad at the schools.
What's this?
He's showing up on Tucker.
You know, I thought there was some of this stuff that he was appealing to a different audience, and it seemed like, I understand the move.
I got it.
I'm listening to this, and he just seems to be signing off on like some of the worst things that Alex is signing off on.
You know, it's beyond what I thought the situation was.
He seems like he's worse than I thought.
jordan holmes
Well, it makes me believe that there's a language that we're not hearing.
You know what I mean?
Like, it makes me believe that something's going on that these people are listening to that we're not because I just can't get inside the head of a person who is responding to what Alex says.
Like, if Jenny, I genuinely feel like they're like Alex may be hearing that.
dan friesen
I think the thing that they're hearing that we're not is cheating.
jordan holmes
Maybe.
Maybe.
dan friesen
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
unidentified
That's it.
jordan holmes
I mean, yeah, but I'm, but even if that's what you're hearing, how do you respond to what Alex says like this with the words you're, you know?
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
Like, what do you like?
I want to know what they're actually, what sounds hit their ears and turn into words because I don't know.
dan friesen
I imagine that Jimmy sees a broadening of his audience when he's doing like anti-vax content and that leads him to pursue more of that.
I wouldn't be too surprised by that.
I just didn't realize it was this much.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like he's I mean, in this interview, to the extent that there's information about it, I'm not sure what his landing point is on it, but he's turned his position on immigration.
He seems to be spouting anti-Semitic Rothschild conspiracies.
Full on anti-vex.
jordan holmes
No vaccines, period.
dan friesen
Climate change denialism, at least.
Tepid denialism, not pushing back on anything Alex is saying.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think he's much further down this road than I had imagined, honestly.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that is.
And it's so strange with stuff that it seems like you simply can't go backwards on.
You know, like if you were alive and politically active and aware when an idiot brought a snowball into Congress, and then now it's now, you can't, you can't be like, yeah, these people think you can't do that.
You just can't.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
You know, you just can't.
But then again, you can lie about it.
And if you lie about it, you should have to be in like a cordoned-off area, like a free speech zone, if you will.
And that should be on the moon.
dan friesen
I mean, the uncomfortable reality is maybe we have to deal with the possibility that he was lying before.
I mean, he was the person who spit in Alex's face.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's true.
I mean, that's.
dan friesen
Maybe this is more to where he.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know the man.
jordan holmes
Maybe it's just people, people who do this.
unidentified
Okay.
jordan holmes
People like Jimmy, like Alex, people who do the stuff just are minors.
They go to where the, they go where the gold is.
dan friesen
Oh, although you meant they're underage.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
Yeah, they're go to where gold is, you know?
They just follow the money.
That's it.
dan friesen
So, and I think a lot of people are that way.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
And we're bad miners.
I think that's what we're really dealing with.
dan friesen
I never aspired to be a minor.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I know.
dan friesen
And maybe that's a mistake.
jordan holmes
The miners are doing all right right now.
dan friesen
So, Alex, you brought up Fauci at the end there.
Sure.
A little riffing on Fauci.
jordan holmes
A little Fauci.
alex jones
Dr. Fauci.
Did you see the clip I had that resurfaced where he said, we're going to get past all the BS?
He said, be it.
And he spelled it out.
He said, we're going to get past the BS by locking people down.
And that'll teach him.
And then they'll drop the BS, take the shot.
It's all coercion, people.
And that's called bullying.
jimmy dore
So, yeah, I mean, I can't say anything that contradicts the FDA, the CDC, or the WHO.
kurt metzger
That's normal in a democracy.
jimmy dore
And that's normal in a democracy.
kurt metzger
I look down on China, frankly, because they don't have freedom.
dan friesen
Man, these guys are having fun making money saying all the things they're pretending they're not allowed to say.
unidentified
Ha ha.
dan friesen
Anyway, Alex's thing about Fauci isn't really accurate.
So in an interview he did with MSNBC, he said, quote, you use lockdowns to get people vaccinated so that when you open up, you won't have a huge surge of infections because you're dealing with an immunologically naive population to the virus because they've not really been exposed because of the people.
unidentified
Oh, you're calling us stupid, aren't you?
dan friesen
There's a difference between this and what Alex is claiming, but also it's important to recognize that he was answering a direct question from Andrea Mitchell, who said, quote, how concerning is the outbreak in China?
It was part of a much longer answer that was critical of China's zero COVID lockdown strategy, essentially the opposite of what Alex is saying when it's actually in its proper context.
But it looks good.
You know, it's enough.
He is saying that you use lockdowns to get people vaccinated.
Boom.
Bada bang.
What do you got?
Fauci.
jordan holmes
You know what?
What I find so fascinating.
What I find so fascinating is that right now we're in the second highest surge of COVID cases, reported COVID cases.
And the government, as far as I can tell, is behaving exactly how Alex and them would want the government to behave, right?
dan friesen
But that's why you attack more.
jordan holmes
No, but that's what I find interesting about that is that they're not going, oh, well, now is the time when we should be more aware of health.
dan friesen
They're not being defiant in the way that you would expect if it's just always a knee-jerk opposition.
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
No, because it's a push-further kind of opposition.
It's an opposition in a different direction.
jordan holmes
I mean, yeah, it's like, well, this time we're doing nothing like you asked us to, and you're still mad.
dan friesen
And this doing nothing is actually secretly a plan to lock us back up again.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's at that point.
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
Where there's no escape.
Do nothing, do something, doesn't matter.
dan friesen
It is true.
Well, yeah.
I mean, I think so much of the context does surround the fact that, you know, it's been years.
Yeah.
I think that that, I don't know.
I don't know if the government did nothing to begin with.
Sure.
You know, I don't know if Alex's knee-jerk reaction would be, hey, everyone needs to take this very seriously.
It was for a minute, but I don't know if that would have been sustained.
jordan holmes
Who knows?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
No, I mean, that's.
dan friesen
There's no going back to it now, is what I'm saying.
It's been years.
jordan holmes
What I think what I'm listening to is maybe like for me, now is when the government really focusing on COVID and vaccines and all that stuff would go a long way towards protecting against the next anti-vaxxer kind of thing, you know?
Now is when you have to do the grunt work, when people aren't paying attention, when everybody's not panicking all the time.
dan friesen
I think you're probably right.
Yeah.
And it is an unfortunate reality, though, that these people have cemented their views.
And the COVID vaccine is the clot shot and all this stuff.
And, you know, they're just making up excuses to cover up for how everyone's dying because of the shot.
Here, listen to this.
alex jones
The mRNA shot works perfectly.
jimmy dore
Yes.
alex jones
It actually cures myocarditis.
jimmy dore
There might be side-by-class climate change doing it.
But they are rare.
What?
It will keep you from getting seriously ill, hospitalized.
alex jones
Did you hear about holiday heart?
All the articles that everybody's suddenly having heart attacks.
It's quite normal.
jimmy dore
No, holiday heart.
It's probably from the holiday heart.
kurt metzger
That's what the cringe got, the grinch got at the end.
He probably from the holiday heart.
dan friesen
Comedy is happening.
jimmy dore
I just have to show you the reach of Bill Gates, who funds the WHO, and I'm on YouTube and Google, and I'm not allowed to contradict them, which means I'm not allowed to contradict Bill Gates, who's just a simple farmer.
alex jones
Hey, Bill Gates is my doctor.
I love the fact that he used to sell crappy software and got busted for running a monopoly and was loading stuff onto it to control it.
I mean, no, I want him to be in charge of my life.
I love Bill Gates.
dan friesen
So the term holiday heart was coined in 1978 to describe incidents of heart attacks that people had around the holidays that were directly related to heavy drinking.
Alex is pretending this is a new thing that's meant to cover up COVID vaccine deaths because he's a fucking idiot.
But these dudes, man, they are having a blast.
You were asking where their comedic riffing chops are going to be.
It's when the Bill Gates stuff starts.
jordan holmes
I find sarcasm to be best used when like very short bursts.
dan friesen
Oh, do you?
jordan holmes
Because if you're trying to be sarcastic for a long sentence, you're just complaining.
You're not even being sarcastic.
You're just complaining that you don't like things.
dan friesen
Yeah, and to be fair, I'll even point the finger back at myself earlier when I did that whole thing about Bill Gates wanting to put mRNA in our food and I pretended to be sarcastic.
jordan holmes
No, no, no, that was a sustained thing.
dan friesen
It was taken a little bit too long.
unidentified
Sure, sure.
jordan holmes
But I mean, the problem is, in that situation, you're adopting a character and playing that character as a thing.
dan friesen
The character was inconsistent, though, at best.
jordan holmes
That is fair.
If we want to have a debriefing on this, I didn't do a Bible on the character.
dan friesen
I didn't know who this person was.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
It's the homework.
The homework is the real thing.
dan friesen
The best I knew was a Jimmy Doer listener.
That was as far as it went.
So look, here's where my notes end.
jordan holmes
Because this is where we couldn't listen to anything.
dan friesen
Shit gets crazy.
Oh, no.
Shit gets crazy for a while, and then I said, fuck you.
Okay.
But there's still a ways to go.
Oh, my God.
So my notes ended because I don't really care about taking this seriously.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're past that.
dan friesen
There is the stuff about like BlackRock and, you know, there are things that are real.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And then there's this.
Okay.
And so this clip's a little bit long, and it needed to be, because it begins with Jimmy's playing a clip of Tucker and strap it the fuck in.
All right.
Because.
jordan holmes
So wait.
So now on this show, where it's not Alex's show, but we're listening to Alex.
It's not Tucker's show, but we're listening to Tucker.
Yeah.
It is Jimmy Doer's show, but I still have to fucking hear Kurt Metzger.
I'm furious about this cast.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's not good.
Hate the dream team.
But this is about aliens.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
tucker carlson
So they are trying to hide it still.
That's a fact.
My own view is that these are not aliens.
There's no evidence that they've come from somewhere else.
We would probably know.
We've got a lot of technology that's watching what comes in and out of the atmosphere, and there's no evidence of that.
I think they've been here forever.
This is my view.
Again, it can be proven.
Center of the Earth.
jordan holmes
Center of the Earth.
tucker carlson
I think it's likely that the U.S. government has had contact with these direct contact and over a period of years.
I find that really disturbing because I, you know, and a bunch of other things that are highly distressing that I can't prove.
And so I'm not going to throw them out there.
But I'll tell you this.
I've talked to a lot of people about this.
I've never been interested in UFOs until like five years ago.
And I was like, wait, this is real.
What is this?
Why aren't we talking about this?
I'm just like coming at it from a totally idiotic, I don't know anything curious position, which is my normal posture on everything.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, that's usual.
tucker carlson
And so I've talked to a lot of people, and my view is that they're, you know, this is my opinion, that there are things about this that are really disturbing.
And while I hate any kind of government secrecy, and if I could prove any of this, I would say it immediately, consequences be damned.
I do sort of understand why they don't want to let this stuff out.
It's not about, oh, we've got fragments of one of these crafts at a walkie, you know, facility in California, and we have biologics from the craft.
You know, everyone knows that that's likely true.
Well, it's certainly true that they have the pieces of this stuff.
But I think it's likely that it's darker than that and that the U.S. government is, I said the U.S. government, people in the U.S. government, not the U.S. government, but there are parts.
It's a vast, it's the largest human organization in history.
Parts of it have knowledge that is very, very disturbing.
And I personally think, strongly think, that there's a spiritual component to this that I don't understand and will not pretend to understand.
But I think it's very clear that there's a spiritual component to this.
That's one of the reasons the Vatican, and I'm, again, not Catholic, but has been involved in this for over 100 years, has an observatory, et cetera, et cetera.
I mean, it's pretty obvious that these are not men from Mars.
I think that was a psyop because I think the truth is a little bit wilder and has deeper implications just than that.
jimmy dore
So what do you think he's talking about there?
jordan holmes
Shut up.
alex jones
Well, I have to be really careful here because, you know, I'm friends with Tucker.
I hang out with him, son, go hunting with him and shooting and go visit him and things like that.
dan friesen
When Alex starts like that, you know that he's probably going to say whatever he's not supposed to say.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah.
alex jones
In fact, I invited me to come out to Florida sometime next month, and I just love Tucker, love to death.
He thought I was a psychopath 15 years ago for saying 9-11 was an inside job in Building 7.
And then his children, we were out in college and stuff and out of college, started bringing him stuff and saying, no, dad, this guy's pretty good.
We like him.
So he came to visit me 11, 12 years ago and kind of halfway apologized.
He said, I thought you were a sociopath and just saying all this stuff for ratings, but I've found out you're a really good guy.
jordan holmes
And I am a sociopath saying stuff for ratings.
alex jones
Dan Tucker really listens to me a lot now.
And it's also other people.
And from my research of the globalist and what they're really doing in DMT research in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and that also goes to a connection to a family friend who was the deputy head of a major psychedelic research group in San Francisco.
dan friesen
Was it Wavy Gravy?
alex jones
When I first heard this, I was about seven years old on a trip in the back of my mom's Volkswagen Beetle with her and her friend.
To a week-long trip with the girls to Arca, check out all the cool sites there.
Really beautiful there.
And I'm sitting in the back with my Etches sketch at comic books listening.
jordan holmes
It's totally a true story.
All these details.
Freely recently.
alex jones
Talk about how they're basically astronauts, and they put them on DMT drips.
This is before anybody was talking about DMT.
And they go in and they model this veil or the other dimensions that are there.
And they then communicate with these entities and they come back and then write notes about it.
And then I did later research once I grew up and knew about this.
They also have volunteers where they actually stop the heart and kill people for a couple minutes so that they can have these out-of-body experiences.
Because what it is third-dimensionally, they call it spiritual.
That's what the ancients call it.
What the globalists actually believe, what the evidence is, is there's 12 dimensions we know about just in this verse versus multiverses.
unidentified
Ooh.
dan friesen
Okay, so we got to – so this is – I'm a little bit distracted for a couple reasons.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
dan friesen
I got bored of Alex.
jordan holmes
Yeah, well, that'll happen.
dan friesen
So I'm thrilled to report that Wavy Gravy is still alive.
jordan holmes
Okay, I was wondering.
dan friesen
Married to the same woman since 1965.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
Yes.
Almost 60 years of blissful matrimony.
jordan holmes
Well, good for them.
dan friesen
Here's the other thing I learned.
jordan holmes
What was that?
dan friesen
Their last name is Romney.
Maybe related.
You think they're part of the Romney family?
jordan holmes
If they are, that is perhaps the final nail in the coffin of there aren't enough guys.
dan friesen
According to Wikipedia, which I'm not sure I'm going to fully believe, but I'll go ahead for now and believe.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
They have a son named Howdy Do Good Gravy Tomahawk Truck Stop Romney.
It may or may not be the case.
Anyway, so Tucker's talking about demons.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure.
I've decided, you know, I thought for a long time that I was anti-borders.
You know, like, no borders, no countries, no, no, no.
And I've realized that we do need borders, but not organized around like region, organized around century.
Okay.
So, like, this region that will be people who still live in 1904.
dan friesen
Right.
You know, so like talking about like the places where they have the role-playing.
Like, let's just, because it's a good start.
Let's go ahead and use that.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's start there, right?
So, Tucker, okay, there's a spiritual component.
The hundreds, fine, 1900s.
That's where you live.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I get to live in the present.
I like the present.
dan friesen
But the present is demonic, though, man.
jordan holmes
And I'm going to stay there.
You don't have to live in the present with me.
dan friesen
Yeah, but you can't.
jordan holmes
You can live in 1904.
dan friesen
Yeah, but your very existence on the border.
jordan holmes
Nope.
That's why we get, again, I'm all about domes.
My organizational strategy is all dome-based.
Once you get in the dome, you're not getting out of the dome.
dan friesen
So Tucker is talking demons.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And Alex's answer is very much trying to insist that he has something confidential that Tucker has told him and be like, I'm not going to talk about this.
And then just starts rambling about DMT research and familial relations of his that are deeply entwined with the 12 dimensions of our single part of the multiverse.
jordan holmes
I mean, see, I was I was all fine up until we got to the multiverse.
Then then it's then you're just that's quite a twist at the end.
You're negating your premise.
You're not twisting.
You're just invalidating.
dan friesen
So, but there's 12 dimensions in each pointless dimension of the verse.
jordan holmes
No need them.
dan friesen
No?
jordan holmes
Nope.
Don't need it.
Cut it out.
Condense.
dan friesen
Two.
jordan holmes
Focus.
dan friesen
To what?
You can have dimensions or a multiverse.
jordan holmes
There is dimensions.
Vatican, connected to the dimensions, higher and lower.
That's what you got.
You got basic, you got your basic three-tiered system.
dan friesen
And the Vatican is like the hinge point.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
You got your Inferno Purgatorio Paradiso.
You got the traditional structure.
dan friesen
Now we're back to comedy.
jordan holmes
Now you've got to get it.
dan friesen
That's how it's done, Metzger.
jordan holmes
Yeah, Metzger.
dan friesen
Oh, boy.
So here's a situation that you need to.
jordan holmes
What were we doing?
dan friesen
Who cares?
jordan holmes
Do we have a show?
dan friesen
Here's what we need to recognize.
Yes.
More and more people are seeing ghosts.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry.
I'm going to need a lot more on that.
More and more people are seeing ghosts.
I feel like we've seen so many fucking ghosts.
dan friesen
You're going to get plenty on it.
Okay.
And here's the thing.
Here's where I started to get a sense of what Alex is definitely not saying about Tucker.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
The ancients would take a bunch of drugs and get in the middle of a circle.
They thought it protected them.
Solomon, the Egyptians, all of it.
And a genie or a demon would appear.
And they usually wanted the sacrifice of blood to give you knowledge.
You can read this in the corporate black magic books that are, you know, thousands of years old.
jordan holmes
Translate thousands of year-old black magic books.
alex jones
All this comes from with psychedelics and, you know, and the ancients and then all the other cultures taking these drugs is that they believe they're talking to the gods and the servants of the gods.
But the rule is the higher level angels or good guys don't interfere in the third dimensional manifestation of our bodies that is a dimensional manifestation or signature of something much larger.
So this is kind of the tether of what we are and a signature footprint that's interdimensionally there.
It's way more complex than that, but no.
Basically, that's where these people have these experiences.
That's where people who've never taken drugs, have no mental illness in their family, will walk into their bedroom and a poltergeist will appear or won't and will throw you up onto the ceiling.
dan friesen
Holy shit.
alex jones
Or will put giant bloody scratch marks across your chest.
And so more and more people are having this experience.
And so they didn't believe in God.
They didn't believe in aliens till they get demonically attacked.
And I'm not going to say who this has happened to, but let's just say it's happened to a lot of people and they're suddenly discovering all this and trying to then say, what did this to me?
I'm not drinking.
I'm not on drugs.
And I just got, it's usually when you're alone and these things will attack you.
And so that's really what's going on.
And so.
dan friesen
So Tucker got attacked by a demon.
jordan holmes
I believe that whilst in his main studio.
dan friesen
Or he said he drinks.
jordan holmes
Tucker was accosted by a poltergeist.
dan friesen
Do you think he was thrown up on the ceiling?
jordan holmes
I don't know.
I don't know if it appeared or did not appear because apparently both are available.
dan friesen
So now here's where things get real weird.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
I was laughing along with this.
Sure.
This is silly.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean.
dan friesen
But then, look at this.
jordan holmes
Holy shit, there's scratches across your chest.
dan friesen
And I saw that and I was like, what the fuck?
And then I realized I have a cat.
jordan holmes
You do have a cat.
There is that.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So probably not a demon.
jordan holmes
Ah, could not be a demon.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Could be a cat.
dan friesen
Yep.
So Tucker got attacked by a demon, and that's why he's acting weird.
jordan holmes
I don't understand the specificity of the scratch marks on the chest because that is so specific.
And we've already got, we don't need that detail.
We've already got, oh, they might appear or not, and you'll be on the roof.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Scratches on the chest seems almost like a downgrade and yet is so specific, it feels important.
dan friesen
Well, here's the thing that I would look at it as.
Yeah.
So you have someone who's a gunslinger.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And you got someone who's a knife fighter.
All right.
jordan holmes
Which one brought the correct instrument to the they're not fighting each other.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
jordan holmes
Well, that's good.
dan friesen
What I'm saying is the things that they would leave behind if they attacked you would be different.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's true.
dan friesen
So maybe there are certain poltergeists that like to scratch.
They have claws.
Certain poltergeists have telekinesis and they can put you on the ceiling.
jordan holmes
Now we enter.
dan friesen
That's the difference between a knife fighter and a gunslinger.
jordan holmes
Now we've entered.
See, this is where we get into trouble again.
I always like the, okay, if that's true, what else is true question?
dan friesen
Sure.
Well, it's like with poltergeists.
They are like action role-playing games.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
There's different classes.
jordan holmes
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Okay.
dan friesen
Each one has a dimension.
jordan holmes
Now, you are a cowboy gunslinger.
You die in the old West.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Are you forever a gunslinger poltergeist or can you learn a new skill?
dan friesen
Well, it depends on if you have enough in-game currency to respect.
jordan holmes
That is a good point.
You got to do fetch quests pretty regularly in order to get a gun.
dan friesen
You've got to grind DPXP in order to become a knife guy.
jordan holmes
Unless you want to put in your real money, your real ghost money.
dan friesen
You don't want to do that.
jordan holmes
You don't want to do that.
dan friesen
But you could just start.
jordan holmes
Read a poltergeist.
dan friesen
You could just start trying to learn a secondary skill, but it'll always, it won't be easy to get.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you can't dual class.
No.
Not after.
Not if you're a ghost.
I mean, well, you can add Lich, but that's already really kind of happened.
dan friesen
So yeah, Tucker got attacked by a demon.
jordan holmes
Tucker got attacked by a demon.
dan friesen
We have to keep coming back to this because that is clearly what Alex is saying.
jordan holmes
1904.
1904 is the year that Tucker gets to live in.
dan friesen
So look, a lot of people take DMT and they have these visions, like the astronauts that were on DMT drips.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
But Alex doesn't need that shit.
No.
You know why?
jordan holmes
Drugs?
dan friesen
He has a freakishly large neck.
alex jones
Oh, what's happening is we're teeming with energy, teeming with consciousnesses, but we're dialed down because you couldn't have a wife or a husband and go plant corn in the field and do your work if you could see all the different things interdimensionally that are there.
And so I naturally have a 21-inch neck and have really bad sleep apnea since I was a kid because I guess it's you almost call it a burnt effect.
I mean, my head is huge.
And my neck's huge for my body.
But the point is, is that I've had two sleep studies done.
I get down to 63% oxygen.
And there's only at night that causes brain damage long term.
But there's only one thing in studies that will bring you into the rest of it.
And that's low oxygen dreams.
Well, I have low oxygen dreams.
So since I was a small child, especially when I grew up and got bigger, I don't dream in REM sleep the last two hours like most people.
I dream from the time I go to bed till the time I wake up eight hours later.
And a lot of it is a brain function, going over the data, creating scenarios for the brain.
kurt metzger
Nicotine or something, nicotine when I would fly on planes.
jordan holmes
That is the wrongest response to that.
kurt metzger
Nicotine patch on, and nicotine will make you dream very vividly.
alex jones
Absolutely, because it constricts the blood vessels and does a bunch of other stuff.
So, yes, and so I'm not trying to get mumbo jumbo.
I don't go to the churches and believe that stuff.
I don't, I know what I objectively know.
I know the government's studying it.
And, you know, I told Tucker some private stuff.
He told me some private stuff.
He asked me on his show to go ahead and say it.
And I said, you know, I'm not going to tell those stories, Tucker, because he said, why not?
Tell it right now during a break.
He was, you know, we were taking a piss.
And I said, Tucker, why don't you tell your stories?
He said, Touche.
dan friesen
Touche.
Near devastating speed bump by Metzger, expertly avoided by Alex, just sort of shuffling it off to the side and moving along.
Alex probably is maybe that conversation was real with Tucker.
I'll share mine if you share yours, Touche.
jordan holmes
That could be.
dan friesen
But Alex's motivation in not getting into that stuff is not because Tucker didn't.
It's because he had a wider audience that he didn't want to look at him as nuts.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he's saying that stuff real fine.
dan friesen
Yeah, here.
Yeah.
Because there is a Joe Rogan adjacency to the audience that Alex knows that Okur Metzger and Jimmy Dore have, where he wants to have kind of like that psycho not thing going on.
jordan holmes
Yeah, whereas, you know, Tucker, for whatever, you know, still mainstreaming it a little bit.
unidentified
Yeah.
kurt metzger
Yeah.
dan friesen
Whether or not that accurately depicts Tucker's audience, that is the aesthetic, and that's what you want to play to.
jordan holmes
I feel like what we just heard was: imagine a guy spent 25 years building a career around the idea that every night someone was in his house moving stuff around.
Yeah.
And then about an hour ago, he's like, yeah, there's a guy.
He's in my house every night, moves stuff around.
And then last night, found out I was a sleepwalker.
Crazy.
Anyways, this guy, I'm going to catch him next time.
dan friesen
You know, and it's like, I've surreptitiously my worldview around what I think this guy is up to.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry.
Did you just explain everything that you have ever said in two seconds with a very simple and plausible ending fact to the actual end?
dan friesen
No, Because everybody else having low oxygen hallucinogenic dreams.
jordan holmes
You 100% explained every single thing that you have ever said to me.
dan friesen
Everybody else would have nonsense hallucination dreams.
I see the future.
jordan holmes
Oh, my God.
That made me so bad.
I don't know if I can really.
Genuinely, I can't really.
It's so funny.
I can't wrap my mind around the idea that he's told people in his real life that stuff.
dan friesen
Yeah, probably.
jordan holmes
I've been to doctors and the doctors have been like, you understand this is all why.
You understand all of this.
It's right here.
It's right here.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
The problem is that you have delusions and you think they're real.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Now, he is the added layer that you have to wrap your head around.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's telling this to Jimmy and Kurt.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
And they're just like, oh man, that's heavy.
jordan holmes
That's cheap stuff, man.
I feel, I genuinely feel this is about as insane as a human being can feel.
dan friesen
I think you can see why I stopped taking notes.
Yep.
jordan holmes
Yep.
No, I truly feel crazy.
Like, it does feel like I've been gaslit on a level of like it feels like I'm a ghost.
It feels like I'm a ghost, right?
You know, like these people are all having a conversation and I'm just sitting there screaming in there.
You know this.
You know.
dan friesen
That is kind of what our show is.
jordan holmes
It is like it's a little ghosty.
It is a little ghosty.
dan friesen
Poltergeist.
jordan holmes
I will say that.
Poltergeist.
dan friesen
So Tucker saw a demon.
alex jones
When Tucker tells his stories, I'll tell mine.
And I'm giving you a little bit of a hint here, and I've not broken confidence or anything here.
unidentified
I think he has.
I'm just curious that Tucker doesn't watch Jimmy Door.
alex jones
Are you having these experiences?
I mean, you might be driving down the road and you're not on drugs and it's 8 a.m. in the morning and you have no history of mental illness.
You've never seen a hallucination, both optical or olfactory.
And you look over in your seat and there is a demon sitting right there in the seat saying, I'm going to kill you.
I'm going to kill you.
I mean, that is going on.
And so 95% of this interview has been stuff we can prove.
They're going to control our minds.
They're going to do all this.
They're going to make us eat bugs.
And so they're all.
Here's the best info I have.
They didn't meet the aliens at Roswell.
They didn't go and aliens at Hangar Area 51.
What they're doing is they're getting interdimensional information from lower-level beings that are older than us or been around.
The transistor, all of this stuff just came into being, and it's not coming in crash spacecrafts.
That's what they're giving them.
But they'll literally tell the government when they're in these DMT operations, okay, bring in 10 kids and cut their heads off for me.
jordan holmes
Get me 10 kids.
alex jones
They say, well, they want you to do evil things.
They like to wipe out paychecks.
Or is it just to see if we'll do what they tell them?
And then they go, okay, open your mind.
I'm giving you a design for something.
And then they're giving us a design to build a system to enslave us.
It's kind of like the movie, cheesy 1990 sci-fi movie, Species, where they've got a radio telescope aimed at 50 light years away or whatever it was, and they get sent a DNA sequence from aliens.
And they go, let's inject this into a female egg and see what happens.
dan friesen
It is almost kind of exactly like the movie.
jordan holmes
It is almost kind of exactly like movies that he saw.
dan friesen
I 100% forgot the plot of species.
jordan holmes
Me too.
dan friesen
Because I saw it at a basketball team sleepover, or maybe it wasn't even a sleepover.
I'm not entirely sure.
jordan holmes
Doesn't the basketball team have sleepover?
dan friesen
I think it might have not been a sleepover, but like a pizza party kind of thing.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
That makes way more sense.
dan friesen
I only think, I think it was a sleepover because of what I'm about to tell you.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I was not allowed to watch R-rated movies.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And so I went to a bedroom and censored it myself.
jordan holmes
Oh, dear.
dan friesen
I refused to watch it because I wasn't allowed.
And so I went into a bedroom.
That's why I probably thought it was a sleepover.
jordan holmes
I want to protect you as a child more.
dan friesen
I was fine not seeing Natasha Henscrich nude.
That's all right.
jordan holmes
You'll be all right.
dan friesen
But yeah, I forgot that was the plot of the movie, but apparently that's what the aliens are, the demons are doing.
jordan holmes
That is the plot.
And then she could jump really high.
Wasn't that the.
dan friesen
I don't know.
I didn't see it.
jordan holmes
That's a good point.
Something like that.
dan friesen
So, you got some more alien talk here.
Sure.
You ready?
jordan holmes
No.
No, I'm not.
alex jones
And so basically, the aliens don't come in flying saucers from Mars.
They don't come up out of the, you know, the Pacific rim, you know, from the hollow earth vortex and then communicate that is operating in the third, fourth, sixth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth, and even 11th and 12th dimensions.
dan friesen
Whoa.
alex jones
And so the invasion, ancients would call it spiritual, but it's not spiritual in every culture.
I mean, they got the Dugon tribe and tribes in Africa that said up there in the sky is this pole star, multi-star, and it's got seven planets around it, and they came from this one.
And no telescope like 70 years ago could even see it.
jordan holmes
That's the movie Prometheus.
I remember that scene.
alex jones
That's the only thing said that was.
And they say aliens came from here and taught us about all this stuff, but they also told us about these other interdimensional things that are here to destroy us.
And see, I don't know, but all I know, and then you see Prometheus, the movie, they go.
Aha!
jordan holmes
Cutcha!
alex jones
Serious and all that.
I get my point and tell you the story.
None of the globalists really believe that some salts in the ocean turn into a cell, turn into a sponge, turn into a fish, crawled out on the land, crawled back in.
jordan holmes
So we're anti-all evolution, too?
alex jones
Signs that have been made before.
dan friesen
Well, of course, Alex is.
jordan holmes
Now, that makes sense.
dan friesen
Yeah, but yeah, Jimmy's not pushing back at all.
You dumb fuck.
You believe in evolution?
It was Prometheus.
It was the movie Prometheus.
jordan holmes
I had not expected the movie Prometheus to be on the.
dan friesen
You didn't expect to be that quickly returned.
jordan holmes
I really didn't.
I really didn't.
I thought it would take a little longer.
Yeah.
Maybe there would be another movie starring Matt Damon that they would bring up.
Sooner or later.
dan friesen
Wow.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
It's good stuff.
jordan holmes
I think we should replace the right-wing conspiracy media with just a loop of the movie Event Horizon, right?
dan friesen
No, fuck not.
jordan holmes
Like, we could just get rid of all of them and then just have a captive quarter of the American population just always watching Event Horizon on a loop.
And it would be about the same in terms of belief.
dan friesen
I mean, it would be a push.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So Alex, he does think he's on Dime Store Rogan.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
Because he's trying to blow some minds here.
jordan holmes
It's feeling like it's not hard to do in this scenario.
dan friesen
Well, it's a little harder than he thinks it is.
jordan holmes
Uh-oh.
alex jones
Have a lead block sealed, and they'll have a neutron or a particle.
And if you're observing it, it won't go through.
But then for some reason, it's been duplicated thousands of times.
If you're not observing it, it suddenly jumps across.
It wants you to know something.
And then they've also noticed that if humans observe electrons and quarks that literally, so it's kind of like George Lucas, but not in a cheesy way.
Because he's subatomic that it changes.
Observance changes what's happening.
Do you mean it's absolutely insane?
And they've hooked up electron microscopes, spectrometers in Japan to say, well, maybe it's because there's humans near it.
And then they'll hook it up.
And then they'll have all these humans in the room around it, but not looking at it because they can't see it.
And then as soon as somebody in Russia or Japan or America back to Japan looks at it through the electron microscope, absolutely.
I mean, I'm not the quantum mechanics person.
I just know that's what's going in unified field theory.
I've read a lot of books on it into all of this.
And so it's there.
There's a whole and look.
dan friesen
Look.
So Alex is trying to blow some minds.
And then Kurt says entanglement.
And Alex is like, uh-oh, he knows a word.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Oh, shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Yeah.
Once you're past.
dan friesen
I'm not the quantum mechanics guy.
It's all unified field theory and move along.
jordan holmes
The smartest thing you can say is to reference literally spooky action at a distance.
That's the thing that they call it.
That's the original thing.
Spooky action at a distance.
It's real spooky.
Yep.
That's what scientists did.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And Alex doesn't, first of all, understand this stuff at all.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
But it's amazing how quickly he retreated once there was like some.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Oh, entanglement.
Then I will run away.
dan friesen
I was killing it with the demon stuff.
And then I started talking a little bit about quantum physics.
jordan holmes
Well, it's real.
Some of it's real.
The problem with quantum physics, it sounds like a movie, but some of it's actually true.
dan friesen
Well, but here's the thing.
unidentified
What?
dan friesen
If you start a set as a stand-up and you're doing well talking about X, then you start talking about Y and the audience is like, you know what?
Go back to X.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Comfortable waters.
dan friesen
So let's go back to demons.
jordan holmes
Good call.
alex jones
So that's what, what's a cat seeing?
How does it decipher it?
Because all we have is the archetypes of our genetic ancestors imprinted on us to be able to decode things.
Is that all we have?
So again, maybe demons look like demons to themselves, but to us, that's the only way we're able to see them.
Does that make sense?
jimmy dore
Yeah, I've read Childhood Sounds.
I follow what you're saying for sure.
kurt metzger
Have you done DMT ever?
jordan holmes
Shut up.
alex jones
Here's the deal.
I don't want to take it.
jordan holmes
I would go host a show with Chris.
alex jones
I remember ayahuasca experiences and going, well, I have those experiences every night.
Crystal cities, floating pyramids, beautiful stuff like big watchmen, angels.
jordan holmes
Do you mean low oxygen dreams?
That you literally just explained?
dan friesen
That are so real.
jordan holmes
Low oxygen.
dan friesen
That they're real.
jordan holmes
You explain them.
dan friesen
No, they're real.
alex jones
And just give me profound knowledge and profound sense of completion and peace.
And it's that archetype of the watchman or the angels.
And everybody, and you know, the ancient told me this.
So I have DMT-like experiences, and before I knew how to control it, a lot of it was bad stuff.
I've seen, when I read the books about it, well, I've seen that in my dreams.
Well, I just made the decision that I'm with the higher power.
I'm with God.
I control my spirit.
I control my energy.
I change the channel.
I'm going to go to Valhalla.
I'm going to go see stuff that looks like a thousand times more powerful than Hawaii and the most beautiful rainbow you ever saw.
And I know it's real because, and again, it's just like observing a particle.
If you're watching it, it won't do it.
Hundreds of times in my life, God, the universe, whatever you want to call it, when I was a kid, like I have a digital clock in the kitchen.
unidentified
I'd wake up and I'd say, Don't tell me the 4 a.m. story again.
God damn it.
alex jones
And I would run down to the kitchen every time it was, whatever time it was.
And maybe I wake up at 5 a.m. and I'd say, it's 5.04.
It was always five.
It was always this thing saying, go look at the clock.
I'm here.
I want you to know this is real.
dan friesen
Yes.
My low oxygen dreams were prophetic and real because I knew what time it was because God was telling me what time it was.
Look, I do think there's something actually kind of interesting in what Alex is saying.
Sure.
That idea of, you know, you're having this terrible dream and then you change the channel.
I have had that experience when you have a nightmare and you recognize it's a nightmare.
You can change the entire surroundings.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you go back.
dan friesen
But that doesn't mean that any of it is real.
alex jones
Nope.
jordan holmes
I wonder.
So this makes me so concerned, right?
Because it makes me wonder, like, should we almost entirely give up on that idea of the consciousness has control and more just really truly accept that we are only aware of the physical processes after they occur.
You know, like Alex cannot be anything other than what Alex is because biologically, Alex is Alex.
And there's nothing that can be done about that.
Those low oxygen dreams, if somebody had gone to him and gotten him a sleep apnea machine when he was nine, if everything had gone the exact same way, but the man dreamt normally for a fucking month a hundred years ago.
dan friesen
I mean, who knows?
He might have been Tucker.
jordan holmes
That's what I'm saying.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You know, like, what is that?
There's just, it's just so fucking, oh, man.
dan friesen
The only thing that makes him interesting and different than everybody else is maybe a function of his low oxygen dreams that he's at.
jordan holmes
And that's it.
And that's it, man.
That's heartbreaking.
dan friesen
Or inspiring.
jordan holmes
It could be.
dan friesen
You know, you hear anybody.
It could be people who, like, they only became the track star that they are because they broke their leg or something like that.
unidentified
You know, you hear that?
jordan holmes
I would never have become the great liar I am.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
If I had no idea that reality was different.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So anyway, your buddy Kurt, he wants there to be aliens.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And Alex is saying it's all dimensional stuff.
unidentified
Sure.
Sure.
dan friesen
He wants there to be space aliens.
jordan holmes
There better be space aliens.
kurt metzger
Okay, I have a question.
Why would it just be interdimensional?
Why wouldn't it be yes and?
jordan holmes
Okay, good question.
kurt metzger
Shut up, Kurt.
It would come from other planets.
How is that for pop?
I'm sure the interdimensional thing could possibly be true, but the interplanetary thing is crazier than that.
How would that be?
alex jones
I'll go back to Frank Herbert, which is out of quantum mechanics.
This is actually what the quantum mechanics experts believe.
unidentified
Let's take this piece of the guy who died before.
alex jones
Right here is Beetlege or some star.
kurt metzger
This is the curling thing.
We all know this.
alex jones
A moment, I'll show people.
Let's say there's a galaxy 50 light years away, okay?
Okay.
jordan holmes
How long does it take to get there?
alex jones
And here's this planet that we want to go to, okay?
Now, if you're trying to go 50 light years with current technology, even though we had light speed, it'll take you 50 years to get there.
Now, interdimensionally, all you got to do is fold the piece of paper.
dan friesen
He's folding a piece of paper to do that.
jordan holmes
He's doing the fold space.
alex jones
He's going to be able to do this.
And that's the theory of the third dimension.
There's higher dimensions.
And then all you do is punch a hole, and you're basically instantly there.
So that's like somebody before they invented the wheel looking at a chariot and saying, what does that do?
So see, take you 50 years to get there with the people who don't even have yet.
But if you interdimensionally travel there, you're there instantly by folding.
That's fold space.
kurt metzger
How is that different?
jimmy dore
Okay.
dan friesen
Okay.
They are unimpressed, but also like whatever.
unidentified
Whatever.
dan friesen
So give me one last clip.
jordan holmes
I mean, because here's the more interesting thing about that, right?
The more fun thing about Alex's bullshit is not that it takes 50 light years to get from here, or it takes 50 years from here to a star 50 light years away.
It's that in order to accelerate up to light speed, you can only go so fast, right?
You can't accelerate from zero to 300 million or 300 meters per second sky square.
So it takes you a year and a half, two years to get up to percentage of light speed.
And during that time, you're also moving at different speeds relative to the rest of the universe.
So not only are you moving at like, say, a day faster than your buddy as you go along, but over time, that's also changing.
So you don't even know how old you're going to be in relation to other people until you leave, right?
And then after all of that is done, after all of that is done, you're never going to get back.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
There's nowhere to go.
Everybody you know is dead.
dan friesen
That's why you got to fold the paper.
jordan holmes
And that is why Charlton Heston was so pissed off.
dan friesen
At that chair?
jordan holmes
At that fucking statue, man.
dan friesen
Now, hear me out on this.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
What do you got?
dan friesen
In my perfect world.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
Alex does this demonstration with the guys at the folding paper, pokes a hole, illustrates it, and then here's an origami crane.
jordan holmes
Ah, that would be fun.
That would be fun.
dan friesen
Just to show off.
unidentified
Just to add a little hard job to it.
dan friesen
Because honestly, they seemed very unimpressed with what he did, what he showed them with the folding.
I mean, because it's unimpressive.
jordan holmes
Well, Dune, you know, the new Dune came out just a couple of years ago.
dan friesen
Well, Frank Herbert wrote quantum physics.
alex jones
He did a while back.
dan friesen
So we have one last question.
And Alex is talking about his dreams some more.
alex jones
Sure.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
And the crystal palaces and what have you.
jordan holmes
Still mad.
dan friesen
And then I decided I'm out of here.
jordan holmes
Good call.
alex jones
I wish I had crew in the studio because they've been showing for about a month this AI rendering of castles and mountains and the universe and how it changes.
And when I saw them play that, I went, that's where I go.
That's one of the things I've seen basically exactly.
Well, here's AI scraping the art and visions of billions of people.
And then you put into it the cosmos, heaven, and then it literally shows you what the collective unconscious already has.
So that is the power of AI.
Wow.
Is that it scrapes fragments of what we're doing in the conscious and unconscious that bubble up to the conscious.
And then it is, and many of these things I've seen manifesting some really deep, powerful stuff.
There's no crew in there, is there?
Too bad everybody's probably gone or that's a metaphor.
I'm going to send you this.
jordan holmes
There's no crew in there.
alex jones
Okay, and I'm telling you, the stuff I see in these dreams is just like this, but even more blazing and gorgeous and just, you know, way more powerful.
But when I saw this for the first time, I was like, whoa, that's very similar to what I see.
And I've never seen art like that, never seen culture like that, never seen what I'd seen.
One of the things I see.
And then AI, though, it saw it because it's scraping millions of people.
jimmy dore
So before we go, you tweeted this out, and I wanted to end our conversation talking a little bit about Israel.
dan friesen
Yeah, I'm out.
alex jones
I'm out.
dan friesen
Nope.
You do not transition from this bullshit nonsense conversation to, hey, let me ask you a serious question about Israel.
Well, fuck off.
jordan holmes
While we're on the topic of very important things, like how AI is scraping your dream vacation home.
Alex, your complete made-up fictional universe based entirely around your illness.
That is interesting.
Tell me about Israel.
dan friesen
I wonder: are people just like legitimately afraid to call him nuts?
Like, are people just afraid to listen to that and push back because they think he's going to push back even harder?
I don't know what the deal is, but if you have any self-respect, first of all, you're not going to then ask your closing question about some very serious topics.
jordan holmes
He needs to throw something.
dan friesen
But you're not going to listen to this whole Tucker Carlson got attacked by a demon nonsense.
I have oxygen-deprived dreams that have formed my worldview that you should all take very seriously and is based on science fiction movies that I can't stop name-dropping.
How would you, if you had any self-respect, not be like, here's a follow-up question, but these dreams, they're not real.
You don't know what time it is.
Go fuck yourself.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You know, the only thing that I've ever, as far as comedians go, you know, that whole like, oh, comedians are truth tellers, you know, that whole thing.
I've never bought into any of that.
The only thing, truly, that I think comedians and clowns are that cannot be done by anything else is the kid who says the emperor has no clothes.
You know, like, that's who we are.
We're the people who, yeah, everybody else is standing around.
dan friesen
You and Jim Brewer have a lot in common.
jordan holmes
I mean, no, not left.
Fuck that guy.
Fuck everybody.
dan friesen
COVID has no facts.
jordan holmes
I'm just, I'm just, I just mean, like, that's what we're here.
I'm willing to be called a clown.
I'm willing to have everybody laugh at me because that's what it means for me to be able to say, Jesus Christ, Alex Jones just said he only has enough oxygen to barely survive, and that's where everything you think he believes comes from.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
He just doesn't breathe good.
dan friesen
All the things that he pretends are based on like this extensive research and thousands of books.
And no, it's things that he's had hallucinations from lack of oxygen that he feels are prophecy.
jordan holmes
There are two atoms that are not often enough in Alex's brain.
That's it.
dan friesen
Yeah, I mean, it does describe, explain a whole lot.
Yeah.
And I mean, where the Reubber meets the road is that the politics that he has created on top of those delusions and those hallucinations that he's deemed prophecy are things that are really dangerous.
They hurt a lot of people.
People were obviously killed through the vaccine denialism, the hydroxychloroquine stuff.
Yep.
People are targeted and at risk due to his transphobia and his increasingly towards just outright entire LGBTQ community denial.
He's a racist.
He would see all immigrants banished.
Yeah.
I mean, these are the real world pieces that are built upon his house of lack of oxygen.
alex jones
Right.
jordan holmes
And that's what that's the, that's the clown.
That's the clown.
That's me being like, hey, listen, you have built an entire fucking worldview that is all structurally dependent on not enough oxygen getting to this man's dreams.
So I don't know if you want to start from scratch, but maybe I would.
dan friesen
I mean, I think a lot of people should ask some hard questions.
jordan holmes
You'd think.
dan friesen
Yep.
You'd think.
Myself included, because I've created a show about a guy who's just lacking oxygen to his brain.
jordan holmes
I think what we've inadvertently stumbled onto, perhaps the greatest problem of our time.
Maybe we just need to be cramming more oxygen in sleeping conservatives' brains.
dan friesen
Hey, it's clear that, I mean, if this is the only instance of this being bad, sleep apnea is a huge problem.
jordan holmes
He's a huge problem.
dan friesen
Because it's created this in one time.
jordan holmes
He's destroyed the world.
dan friesen
So here's our message.
jordan holmes
Yes.
Sleep apnea.
dan friesen
Breath hygiene.
jordan holmes
Serious problem.
dan friesen
Yeah.
We all need to.
jordan holmes
Get a fucking dehumidifier.
dan friesen
Does that help?
jordan holmes
I don't.
dan friesen
So anyway.
jordan holmes
Oh, God.
dan friesen
I'm glad.
jordan holmes
Let's talk about Darfur.
dan friesen
I'm glad that we went back and looped back and got the rest of this.
jordan holmes
I do feel like it's important.
dan friesen
I left the first Jimmy Dore episode feeling Jimmy bored, and I didn't feel inspired at all about what was going on.
It just seemed like a dumb interview that Alex was saying all the same shit.
And to an extent, this is also a lot of the same shit that Alex says in a bunch of these interviews.
But this gave me a little bit more of a window, and I think I'm a little bit more interested.
For one, Jimmy has no fucking spine whatsoever and allows Alex to just run over everything and go wherever he wants with no pushback.
jordan holmes
I mean, nuts.
dan friesen
Second, Jimmy does seem like maybe he's someone who it would be more interesting to cover because I do think he's further down the road than I had assumed.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I would agree.
dan friesen
The second half of this definitely had more indications to me that, like, he's closer to Alex than I thought for sure.
Right.
Not as much of a showman, ironically, to be a professional.
You'd think, yeah.
Not as much chops.
jordan holmes
Not funny.
No.
dan friesen
What I love how much you don't like Kurt Metzger.
jordan holmes
I really do.
dan friesen
And I think it would be funny to subject you to it.
jordan holmes
It will be fun.
I'm actually almost even looking forward to yelling, shut up, Kurt.
No, I think what is interesting for me right out the gate and why I'd like to do more Jimmy Dore is the fact that he didn't like always go along.
The fact that he just let Alex ramble without then always being like, and here's what I agree with.
dan friesen
Sometimes where he joined a riff and sometimes not.
jordan holmes
I would like to know how much of this was just him being like, Alex is on the show.
Let him talk.
That's dollar signs.
And how much of it is like, we want Alex to get his message out.
dan friesen
Yeah, I am curious about that.
And then there's also some dangling threads.
Like, he, you know, I haven't watched enough of his content to fully know what his position on some of these issues are.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
He said he switched his position on immigration.
jordan holmes
I don't want to know what he thinks about Israel.
dan friesen
No.
Well, I kind of do.
I may have assumed that.
jordan holmes
Professionally, if you don't have a choice, yeah.
dan friesen
But like, I may be interested in, like, what does that mean?
You switched your position on immigration.
What is it now?
I know it's not good, but what is it?
jordan holmes
What was it?
dan friesen
Well, he said more immigrants, the better.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah.
I mean, that's not really a position, though, is it?
dan friesen
No, but maybe that's just how he's characterizing it.
jordan holmes
That's fair.
dan friesen
It might not be fully what his position was in the past, but I'm not sure what it is now.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
Is he like legit a full-on all vaccines are wrong?
Yeah.
Is he a climate change denier?
Like, how much of these positions are actual things that he stakes out and he stands behind?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I'm kind of curious in that.
jordan holmes
I am too.
dan friesen
I don't know how fervently I will seek this as a topic to cover, but at least this was, I think, a little bit more interesting than the first one.
jordan holmes
And we got to learn that I'm not going to be able to handle a couple of, like, this was a couple of revelations on this episode really truly make me both furious, like, hopeless.
dan friesen
And it's appropriate that revelations.
The end of the world.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
We'll be back, Jordan, for another episode.
But until then, we have a website.
jordan holmes
We do.
It's nulltried.com.
dan friesen
Yep.
And social media exists.
jordan holmes
We are on socials media.
dan friesen
Maybe.
jordan holmes
Maybe.
dan friesen
I don't know.
Anyway.
jordan holmes
I like Instagram because I'm into Wales now.
I just really like.
They're so big.
dan friesen
We'll be back.
But until then, I'm Neo, I'm the MDZX Clark.
You know it'd be great.
Alex should be on the Traders.
Can you imagine?
jordan holmes
I absolutely can.
He can't.
dan friesen
Should he be a traitor?
jordan holmes
Oh, my God.
Yes.
Of course.
dan friesen
Can you imagine?
jordan holmes
Not a traitor.
The first round traitor.
Yeah, he's getting tapped on the arm.
He's like, it's a good thing I'm not getting tapped on the arm right now.
dan friesen
No, I mean the first time when there's accusations flying to call suspicion to himself.
Oh, it'd be great.
Season three.
Alex.
jordan holmes
There we go.
But he has to wear Hannibal Elector.
He has to always be tied up Hannibal Elector style.
dan friesen
Hear me out.
The three.
jordan holmes
To the audience.
You can't see the excitement.
dan friesen
The hand waving.
jordan holmes
Yes, the hand of the subject.
dan friesen
Chosen people who will be the traders.
jordan holmes
The three traders.
dan friesen
Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Uh-huh.
dan friesen
Bill Gates.
jordan holmes
Bill Gates.
dan friesen
Steve Pieczenik.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
All right.
That crew.
jordan holmes
Well, we have no female representative.
Let me pitch you this.
Alex Jones.
dan friesen
Very white team of traders.
jordan holmes
Alex Jones, the British TV presenter.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
And then, yeah, we're going to go with Steve Pieczenik again.
dan friesen
Steve Pieczenik.
We'll be back.
alex jones
Yeah, woo, yeah, woo.
jordan holmes
And now here comes the sex robot.
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
andy in kansas
Hello, Alex.
I'm a first-time caller.
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
