Jordan Holmes and Dan Friesen dissect Alex Jones’ January 30, 2024 episode, where he pivots from debunked border standoff claims to attacking Vivek Ramaswamy’s anti-"big government" rhetoric as disingenuous, mocking his mispronunciation. Jones falsely frames the E. Jean Carroll defamation case and Rhode Island’s LGBTQ+ parental notification policy as proof of persecution, while Jordan and Dan expose his hateful distortions. He then peddles debunked CIA journalist threats, WEF misogyny conspiracies, and absurd Jesuit constitutional suspension theories, ending with a caller’s "nuclear 9-11" coup fantasy—all to stoke fear and engagement, proving his rhetoric thrives on exploitation rather than substance. [Automatically generated summary]
And I remember watching FEMA death camps videos in middle school circa 2005 Google videos, thinking it was really stupid, and switching over to watch a sick Naruto AMVs instead.
So, we start off this show, and Alex is in one of the moods he gets in from time to time, which is complaining about other talk radio we listen to that day.
Look, I was sitting here right before we went live looking at all this news, and I just want to say something.
This morning I had some errands to take care of.
I normally just drive straight to work, so I was driving around quite a bit this morning, so I listened to probably, in traffic, an hour and a half of...
Talk radio.
And I just sampled probably 15 different conservative radio shows in Austin, in San Antonio, in Dallas, because I get, you know, we get all those.
Of Ilhan Omar saying she doesn't care about America.
She cares about Somalia and expanding Somalia's power.
She tried to slip in a deal a few years ago to change the Minnesota flag to basically the Somali flag.
These people are crazy.
And that dovetails with the new thing that came out yesterday afternoon with the press secretary, the black raggedy Ann.
White House spokesman called out for odd condolence statement of three U.S. troops fighting and dying for the administration.
Well, I remember the press reports at the time, because it was in the L.A. Times, when Bill Clinton won the election back in 1992 and was getting into office in 1993 at the inauguration, F-16s flew over.
And a big director, producer, Ron Silver, got mad and said, how dare them?
They're threatening us.
And Hillary pulled him by the arm in front of the press.
Imagine the weird Los Angeles, L.A., New World Order, Hollywood mindset that they hate this country so much and that even when they get control of it, they destroy it because they have a fundamental spiritual chip on their shoulder.
They're taking mistranslated pieces of things she did say out of context in order to present the picture that she holds a higher loyalty to Somalia than the United States.
And in essence for Alex, this all boils down to him not believing that immigrants can integrate into U.S. society if they aren't white.
That's core belief to him, so any claim that feeds into this will automatically be accepted with no further analysis.
Listen, there's no examination of what she actually said.
So there's no sense of a lot of these illegals and others they brought in, these so-called UN refugees, of wanting to make America greater, being part of it.
Because they're taught by the UN when they're brought in and by the left.
To hate this country.
And that's not just something the right wing says about the left.
It seems to me that targeted assassinations of high-level figures inside a government is maybe more likely to start a war than bombing.
But I might be wrong.
I can only imagine that if some country's military assassinated our Secretary of Defense, it wouldn't just be something like, ah, it's all in the game.
It's all fun and games for Alex here, but pretending Trump was some kind of rational, reasoned military figure is ridiculous.
Like you mentioned, he dropped the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan in 2017, and he outdid Obama in terms of launching drone strikes, even going so far as to repeal a rule where civilians Yeah.
You can pull up some of the tweets I reposted on X where major conservative accounts and groups are just saying, we need World War III.
They're saying World War III is the best option.
And they're not thinking through what World War III means.
Once the nukes start going, once they start getting used, there isn't an analyst out there that says it isn't a vast probability it then leads to full nuclear war and then we're all dead.
Unless you're living in some South Pacific island.
And again, even if you're in some bunker in Wyoming, folks, there's a full nuclear war.
The scenarios make Road Warrior look like a walk in the park.
Because there'll be tens of millions of dead.
Hundreds of millions with energy off, break down the food chain, and then people are just going to come dig you out of your bunkers, ladies and gentlemen, and eat your ass.
The tens of millions of bodies that were promised by Alex's conspiracies never materialized, and the disruptions of the food chain, a lot of them ultimately had to do with Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Yeah.
And they weren't as severe as Alex's conspiracies led us to believe.
But the real threats we face to our liberty today aren't just coming through the front door of big government.
They're coming through a new hybrid of big government and big business.
That together are far more powerful than either one alone.
Where the government is delegating its political authority to not just three-letter agencies, but those three-letter agencies are then delegating their political power to private actors.
Like tech companies that censor speech through the back door that the government couldn't censor through the front door.
Like banks and financial institutions.
Asset managers like BlackRock that vote for policies fighting climate change.
And Vivek, how do we stop that?
So one of the ways we stop that is, first of all, a lot of the money propping this up is coming from the government.
So a lot of what the state attorneys general are doing are steps in the right direction.
One of the ways, Alex, is through competition.
The company that I started before I actually ran for president is called Strive that competes directly against BlackRock and State Street and Vanguard by offering investment products that are the same kinds of investment products that don't vote for woke policies.
They vote for what maximizes profit and product value.
Part of what's happening is you have a neocon establishment.
In the Republican Party, in the neoliberal establishment, the Democratic Party, that effectively have been rooting for a war with Iran for a very long time.
For three decades or more, these people have been wanting to bomb Iran.
And I think they're just looking for an excuse to actually do it.
I think this could be a disaster, actually, for the United States.
We cannot fall into the strap of a preemptive strike at a moment where that doesn't advance our interests.
We have to stand for our own troops and our own national interests.
But that's a separate question from whether we want a preemptive strike on Iran.
Anybody heard of a super EMP attack?
If you haven't, you should look it up.
An electromagnetic pulse attack.
Iran, other countries have a capability.
Do we actually want to be in a situation where other adversaries have the power to take out our electric grid in a matter of days?
When you have people like Klaus Schwab or someone in Biden's administration come out and say that there are threats to the power grid and an attack on it could be something that hostile actors are considering.
That's proof that they themselves are planning to do that attack as a false flag.
They're only bringing it up as a possible threat so the public's familiar with the idea by the time they decide to do it, so they have an enemy to point at.
But when Vivek does the exact same thing, it's astute political analysis.
We shouldn't go to war with Iran because they can take out the power grid with a super EMP.
If this were someone Alex didn't like saying it, he probably would cover it as them admitting their plans to attack the power grid.
But since it's Vivek...
That doesn't happen.
This dynamic exists because Alex isn't serious about his accusations that people are revealing their plans and priming you for false flags.
That shit doesn't mean anything to him, but it's a super effective way to keep the audience engaged and scared so he pulls that trick out whenever he can.
But not when it's people like Vivek doing it, then it's not predictive programming at all.
Because it is a man who's watched enough I don't think he's going to be the VP I've joked about this,
and I'm not sure if I said this on the show, but the two paths that I see for him are becoming a major figure in the Trump media ecosystem, or becoming vice president and murdering Trump himself.
That is like, if you imagine in the morning, you know, I'm of a certain age now, so say around 5.30, I'm in the bathroom, I get up, my eyes are all groggy, I open the door, and then BAM!
I've got a bunch of clips on the crazy lady that couldn't even say what year Trump supposedly assaulted her so he couldn't have an alibi, and no evidence 25 years later.
And then he says, I'm innocent, so there's no criminal charges because they couldn't get criminal charges.
There's no evidence.
So he's found guilty of defamation by a kangaroo court where the judge says he's guilty.
He says he's innocent.
She sues again and gets $83 million.
And now she's on TV bragging saying, we're going to buy penthouses and go shopping.
It's so much fun.
I mean, she is just a famous loon.
And it's so dangerous that they weaponize these blue jurisdictions to this point.
I've experienced it myself.
Where a judge finds you guilty, the news doesn't pick up on that.
They have a show trial, and they tell the jury this person's guilty, and then they put on fake evidence and don't let you put on evidence, or they're going to sanction or disbar your lawyers, and they're trying to disbar my lawyer in Connecticut, they're trying to disbar the lawyer in Texas, and they fine them both massive amounts of money.
He's trying to complain about and defame E. Jean Carroll, the woman who successfully sued Trump for sexual abuse and then defamation, but in the middle of it, he remembers that he has a personal talking point about the courts and he just launches off into his Sandy Hook script.
There was a jury in the case, and I guess just any result Alex doesn't like is a kangaroo court.
If it goes the way he doesn't want, kangaroo.
Trump didn't say that, just like he was innocent, he constantly attacked her, leading his followers to harass her because she wouldn't be quiet about how Trump had attacked her.
Also, she made a joke about buying Rachel Maddow a penthouse.
And for someone who doesn't want to open up that box and, you know, look at that and wrestle with those feelings, it's safer just to pretend you're always right.
They were middle-aged lawyers, but their kids were out there playing too.
They didn't know I was sitting behind them because I came in after them.
And they were like, Judge Guerra Gamble's totally insane and follows none of the law and doesn't even read the cases and is just rude and hateful to everyone.
In business suits, pulling their pants down and pooping in front of schools, or climbing up on top of a bus and peeing on the window, or peeing in the water fountain, and you go.
Some are crazy people, homeless people, some are like, and then even Portland.
Well, it's fun to poop!
This is part of our culture's pooping!
I mean, they're just like, they're degenerates.
And you sit there and you think, oh, well, we're cherry-picking this.
See, because I see an almost alien-like behavior, like an Invasion of the Pod people-like thing, where it's uncannily almost like what a human would do, but it's a little bit off.
And then I've got clips that I'll get to next hour of the major, richest school district in Rhode Island.
And it's made big news, and I put it out on X, and it went viral.
And people are saying, wow, you know, the school board says we're not going to let parents know when their kids are LGBTQP, transgender.
Because parents have no authority over their children.
Everybody gets so upset.
That's official policy all over the country.
They create files on your children in elementary.
They convince them for prizes and toys to say they're another sex.
Then they secretly put them in a file with lawyers and social workers and prepare for the process by the time they're 10 or 11 if the parents don't agree to take them and put them in a weird government pedophile halfway house that five Democrat states have passed laws.
To now take children and under the law in places like Oregon and Washington, they don't even tell you where your child went.
You think they're kidnapped.
The police come and have a fake interview about where your daughter or son is and they're in a pedophile warehouse.
So the underlying story here is that a school board member in Rhode Island voiced a belief that it may not be good to inform parents if a student comes out at school.
This is a matter of respecting the privacy of the student and respecting the potential safety concerns the student might face at home.
You have no idea what their living situation might be like.
You could be endangering them by doing that.
The rest of that, what Alex is doing, is grotesque.
There are practical reasons.
Reasons like not knowing if it would be safe to do that.
And there's a stigma issue where if you do that, you're treating their sexuality or gender as if it's a disease that you have a duty to inform about.
These are concerns that intersect with creating a world that's safer for LGBTQ, which is the opposite of what Alex wants.
He wants gay bashing to come back.
He wants non-heterosexual public displays of affection to be banned.
He wants trans people to not be able to exist in public, and then, if he gets his way, even in private.
He wants people who don't conform to traditional gender norms to be treated like shit.
Alex wants all this stuff, and schools respecting student privacy runs counter to that.
So in order to fight back against this thing that's very sensible and understandable, he has to create a ridiculous, over-the-top evil plot that's supposedly what this secretly is about.
It's not about respecting student privacy and safety, it's about grooming the children so they can be kidnapped and held at a pedophile warehouse.
In that clip, not only does Alex lay out a disgusting scenario that he can't back up at all, he does a couple of other important things to note.
First, he essentially invalidates trans existence by saying that students are given prizes and toys to say they're another sex.
Anyone who says that they're trans or non-binary isn't actually.
They're just tricked into this by teachers with toys and prizes.
If you delegitimize a person's identity like this, you make it acceptable and possibly noble to do anything in your power to free them from that delusion, So things like conversion therapy become totally normal ideas, even though they're Mm-hmm.
Next, Alex attacks the idea of the state caring at all about whether or not a parent abuses their LGBTQ child.
Let's say you're in a scenario where you have a trans child and you're not accepting of it to the point where you're abusive.
Maybe it's harsh verbal harassment, destroying their property that doesn't align with how you want them to be, or even violence directed toward them when they don't present how you want them to.
In that scenario, that child needs help, and the only place that's going to come from is outside the house.
Likely, the police or child protective services are...
You know, those are candidates.
Alex doesn't want that.
He wants that child to be forced to live in that state because he believes eventually it will work and they'll come out...
normal by his definition.
Thus, any interaction with the state that intersects with the parent abusing their LGBTQ child is redefined here as the state wanting to kidnap that child and take them to this warehouse.
This stuff is grotesque and hateful and disconnected from reality, but in situations like this, it's important to recognize where the narratives actually connect to reality.
Alex isn't saying this stuff for no reason.
Like, one part of it is just spouting sensational bigot narratives to scare his audience, but another is to further actual goals.
The goals here are delegitimizing LGBTQ identity as a thing and working to leave LGBTQ youth Yep.
Those are the touch points where this intersects with the real world.
It feels like they're talking about the Underground Railroad at this point, if that makes sense.
You know what I'm saying?
When a school board member says you shouldn't inform your parents, that's like saying, hey, listen, here's where the stop on the Underground Railroad is.
Slave owners aren't going to be happy.
They're going to try and fuck up that stop.
So when you tell people exactly what's going on, these people are going to react like that.
They have a responsibility to teach, and that is a process that involves the school and the student, and either party can not cooperate, and that's a negative experience.
So when you have a student, let's say, who comes out to a teacher because they feel in a safe environment, if that teacher turns around and tells their parents, who maybe are opposed to their child, Yep.
Being LGBTQ, you end up in a situation where that student's never going to trust the school ever again.
They're going to be disconnected from education.
It's going to have rippling effects that are incredibly negative.
More mainstream media is being forced to report that the CIA ran around and threatened, but then also paid off journalists during the whole COVID operation.
Trump was not aware of this, obviously.
They were working against him as well.
But it expanded under Biden.
Yes, you're up against the CIA.
So is he aware of it?
Big deal.
It's not like the movies, folks.
They're a bunch of criminals that are leftists.
They go to college to attack this country, and they're put in these positions of power.
People think of the CIA as like the Green Berets that actually go out on real missions.
That's like 1% of what they do.
They undermine.
They promote transgenderism.
They promote child pornography.
They promote devil worship.
They promote weakening the country so they can control it.
They are the outside force set up in 1947 under the national security system to destroy the nation.
And I'm not even saying everybody in that system is bad.
It's just like the FBI or any of it.
But it's totally weaponized against the people now.
How the CIA paid and threatened journalists to do its work.
Big article now.
Even out of the Daily Beast, the liberals are reporting on it.
So, Alex's primary source he's using here is an over six-year-old ad in the Daily Beast.
I can't imagine how someone recognizing how Alex uses primary sources like this could ever retain any faith in his ability to assess information, be a purveyor of information.
It would be literally impossible to even take a cursory glance at this Daily Beast article and not be like, oh, this is an ad for the Jack Reacher movie.
The WEF, the New World Order, is putting women in charge to bring down civilization.
The type of woman they're choosing has a chip on their shoulder and is totally behind the globalists and will commit any crime you can imagine because they know epigenetically we think of a man as committing a crime.
We know that most violent crime is men, so we are weary of men.
So yeah, they're putting women in as the spokespersons and as the functionaries to carry out the tyranny.
There's no doubt of it.
I mean, every judge in Travis County...
They're elected, put in by George Soros, all the men and women removed before, and then they just put in a total cult of lunatics.
So earlier, Alex was yelling about how all the judges are women now, and that's just because he's a misogynist and he's lashing out about how he had a female judge in his case.
This caller, Thor, has taken on Alex's characterization and decided that women being judges is a problem and that men need to take these positions back.
Alex is just talking about the district civil courts, which have all female judges currently.
There's so many other courts, though, like the county courts, which both are male judges, or the associate courts, which have three out of four male judges.
Alex is taking his subjective experience and then reporting that to the audience's objective reality, in essence demanding that they take on his problems as the ones we need to fix.
It's a really manipulative form of projection And you can hear from Thor that it works.
He has no idea what he's talking about, but he's sure that we got to do something about all these women in the court who are also probably on drugs.
Neither he nor Alex would have any of these grievances if Alex hadn't had a female judge in the Sandy Hook case.
The issue is I had a female judge and I lost a case and I'm mad about it and I'm putting her womanhood into the part of the equation and turning that into a misogynist conspiracy theory that Thor the Thunder God seems to resonate with pretty highly.
So I wanted to add something that no one is talking about as far as Abbott is concerned.
I've heard, you know, you and Michael Yon discuss, is he weff, is he not?
And I'll tell you why I know he is.
Because I've been getting involved in the county level with our elections.
And it's all of Abbott's people at the county level who are fighting to keep the machines in our elections, to keep the ballots not marked, sequentially numbered.
And I've met these people and I've seen them face to face.
They are evil and they're trying to steal our.
Right to vote away from us.
And they're Abbott people.
And they are the ones who were behind the Kim Paxton thing, the impeachment.
Alex is a little bit more wishy-washy on Abbott now because the confrontation he was hoping for hasn't happened.
It was super exciting and caught fire as a possible inflection point to the point where Alex was advocating breaking up the United States, but it went days and nothing happened.
The feds didn't charge in.
The convoy looks like a dud.
The momentum that was propping up the positive feelings about Abbott has dissipated.
And mind you...
That's playing both sides where one side is the literal devil.
But here's a new clip of him being asked about the WEF, and he won't even denounce it when he knows it's been one of the hottest topics for years, even on Fox News.
This is pretty damning.
unidentified
Okay, I have one question.
Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum has bragged publicly about infiltrating governments and grooming political leaders.
Now, you know, he's for the Great Reset, pushing forward at the end of 2030, and he's pre-globalization.
Do you denounce the World Economic Forum of Klaus Schwab and the Great Reset?
Like, Greg Abbott seriously sucks, but he appears at least he's not a part of the conspiracy bullshit world, because he would have no problem saying that if he was.
Later in the hour, I'll get into Elon Musk and Neuralink and the big new developments there.
But I promise to go to your calls.
I'm going to race through your calls here in a moment.
But we have great IT people and great IT companies.
Despite all the hack attacks and all the brute force attacks and all the denial of service attacks and all the infiltration operations, We don't make a big deal about it because we're warriors.
We're in the fight.
We're here every day.
It's our job to just stay on air and cover the issues and not get distracted.
It has been years since I had the IT companies we use come to me and say, you need to talk about this on air.
So if you try to go to Infowars.com, you may see a quick security screen that comes up that says scanning to make sure you're not a bot before you get in.
And people that work for the system think that I'm a coward like them, that when I step up to the plate and I get hit hard, that I think, oh my God, I better not go this direction.
And listen, I'm not the toughest guy around, but I am pig-headed like Trump.
And when somebody gets in my face and attacks me, I can't help it.
I remember growing up in Dallas, man.
And it might have been a 250-pound badass started a fight with me, and I couldn't run.
I'll use the analogy of Star Wars Episode 4 where Luke Skywalker is running the trance, everybody else has been killed, and the force tells him, turn off your computer, hit that target yourself.
And that's called blacking out, folks.
I am literally having computers turned off.
Nobody's telling me what to do with the Holy Spirit.
I am in the trench.
They're blowing up our ships all around us, and it's all about Jesus right now, and I'm going in against that reactor shaft, and I'm going to fire that torpedo.
His non-engagement with any sources and just making shit up as he goes along really illustrates how true that is.
But to his point about being pig-headed about challenges, I would suggest that he's not.
As someone who's produced a show about him for almost 900 episodes, and someone who's in the deposition room with him in Texas, and as someone whose lawyer has directly complained about, I think that Alex doesn't rise to the occasion of challenges at all.
He's very happy to posture and rise to challenges when he thinks he can brute force his way through them.
Whether that means using actual violence or it means he can yell over someone in a chaotic debate setting.
But he's not actually able to rise to any challenge that involves information or his brain.
Anytime he's in a situation like that, he folds or tries to turn it into a physical confrontation.
When he was in that deposition setting, he tried to play dumb, but at When he was forced to participate in his damages trials, he tried to turn them into a fight to the extent he could.
Then he retreated outside the court.
who were outnumbered by his armed security.
That's why when he went on Piers Morgan's show turned into a fight.
That's why when he tried to turn that interview with Andrew Neal on the BBC into a fight.
He knows how to handle himself in that territory, and he knows that everywhere else he's useless.
So you don't rise to challenges, you just, bah, yell at stuff.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, who knows?
I'm sure he doesn't have great technique, if that's what you're saying.
And he told my dad a little bit about when he died.
We got all his documents and all his medals and all his stuff.
And man, the letters about, we see the flack.
We're going into it.
Those are the targets.
We're going to hit it.
You know, Billy, best buddy, just died.
His plane just blew up.
And man, there is something about that.
Like, we're going in.
We're not running away from the attacks.
We're flying into the attack because we got something to deliver and God said deliver it.
And I'm going to deliver more payloads.
The reason I volunteered for more missions is we have slayed the enemy.
We have destroyed them.
We have wrecked them.
God has given me nothing but victory.
And the idea now, when I've been given nothing but victory, that I won't continue the missions and I won't continue hammering them, but I can't do it without you.
God's given me the intellect and God's given me the will.
And God's given me the capacity to do this, but I can't do it without you.
And I sit here and think about all the heavy subjects.
Maybe hear your head shaking in disapproval as that went the direction it went.
But yeah, I mean, I think this is probably why the hack attack, you know, this is creating the sense of aggrievement and victimhood and persecution, which you then transition into all this.
I get tortured, I get attacked, I get lied about, I get physically attacked, people come to my house, I don't even get into that, what that's like for my family, but as long as I care, and as long as I have courage and trust in God, like Job did, we have...
For every attack, for every little slap I get is a dagger in the enemy.
For every time they thump me in the face is a fist right in their nose.
For every time they break my leg, they get destroyed.
You know, when Jesus tossed up those money changers and you read about it the first time and the pastor's trying to explain how, like, this Jesus seems pretty pissed off.
Like, the other Jesus seems pretty nice.
He's, like, all forgiving and shit, but this Jesus seems pretty pissed off.
And the pastor can go either one of two ways.
He can go the American way and be like, yeah, but that's just because it was in a church.
Religion's great.
And also, we do that in the church now.
Or he can do what Jesus did, which is like, yeah, man, if you put pray for me next to buy my shit, it just sounds bad.
I mean, it literally puts me on London streets in 1650 with a guy who's pretending to be an injured beggar coming up and taking advantage of strangers.
It is so much that on such a large scale of like, you're just...
Because this calls to mind Larry Nichols' dumb shit in 2015 about how if Obama's going to secretly stay in office and turn the U.S. into a Muslim caliphate, all this nonsense.
Like, these conspiracies are a part of that lineage.
