Dan and Jordan, I am sweating. | |

I have great respect for Knowledge Fight. | |
| Knowledge Fight. | ||
| I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys, saying we are the bad guys. | ||

Hello, Alex. | |
| I'm a first-time caller. | ||
| I'm a huge fan. | ||
| I love your world. | ||
|

|
Knowledge Fight. | |
| KnowledgeFight.com. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| Hey, everybody. | ||
| Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| We're a couple dudes like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| Oh, indeed we are. | ||
| Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| I have a quick question for you. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| What's your bright spot today, buddy? | ||
| Why don't you go first? | ||
| I know what it is. | ||
| I mean, obviously, I will say I have a two-pronged bright spot. | ||
| The first one, obviously, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Finally allowed to play it this morning. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Man, that countdown, brutal. | ||
| We talked about this a little bit last night. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| But I'm curious to hear if you did... | ||
| Try and play some at midnight last night. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| You managed to go to bed? | ||
| I managed to go to bed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| But that's because lately I've been waking up at like 4.35 in the morning, so I was like, hey, what's the difference between trying to play an hour at midnight and then passing out because I'm an old man? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Instead of a fully rested morning session. | ||
| See, there you go. | ||
| That's impressive. | ||
| I have not been able to do that whenever I've had games that were coming out. | ||
| It's rare that I've been in that position, but I'll play the fuck out of midnight. | ||
| I'll just be like, tomorrow's screwed. | ||
| I'm going to pull one. | ||
| I mean, I think what it is is my need for routine to maintain sanity is so strong that my body literally just shuts down now at like 9.30, 10 o 'clock. | ||
| See, I'm jealous of that. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Because I can't muster any semblance of routine. | ||
| Brutal, brutal. | ||
| I think being married must help, you know, in terms of that. | ||
| Having someone else around probably helps with some structure. | ||
| There's definitely that. | ||
| There's definitely that. | ||
| But also it is like, man, bipolar, you gotta have a routine or you will die. | ||
| Yeah, I guess so. | ||
| There is definitely that. | ||
| But yeah, you're enjoying it? | ||
| Yes, I love it. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| Everything I want from it. | ||
| Except maybe the intro is a little bit slow. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| That's the way people work. | ||
| The intro was the last game. | ||
| It is. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| That's what it should have been. | ||
| It should have just been a little previously on. | ||
| I'm going to tell you something right now. | ||
| This is the problem with devaluing writers. | ||
| Whenever video games are having two hour long intros, you know there's no writer there going like, hey buddy, let's... | ||
| Let's make a prologue less than a thousand words. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Let's tighten this up a little. | ||
| Edit down, but whatever. | ||
| Well, I'm glad you're enjoying it. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And then the second one is I was a guest on On Brand. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| The podcast. | ||
| Talking about comedy special. | ||
| Comedy special. | ||
| I got to talk analyzing comedy instead of horror. | ||
| Although there was a little bit of both. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But yeah, man, I miss punch-up. | ||
| I don't miss stand-up. | ||
| I miss telling people how they're wrong. | ||
| Ah, yes. | ||
| This is how this could be better. | ||
| This is how you should get better. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I am Jordan Holmes, the joke doctor. | |
| Hey, man. | ||
| Those who can't. | ||
| We do help you with a tag. | ||
| Yeah, no, I mean, that was always one of the joys of, you know, hanging out. | ||
| Hanging out at the open mics after, like, oh, here's how that could be tweaked a little bit to make it better. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That's always been one of the, like, bonding things, too. | ||
| And it usually was over a fair amount of drinks, so that also helps. | ||
| Absolutely, yeah. | ||
| Things were a lot funnier whenever it's just you getting drunk with your friends. | ||
| Yeah, so people can check that out now. | ||
| Yep, it's very good. | ||
| Anyways, your bright spot. | ||
| I guess, I mean, look, I don't really have a bright spot, but I'm gonna just say it's that It's now freezing in Chicago, and on our last episode you were bragging about not having to wear a coat. | ||
| You are back in a coat today. | ||
| Back in a coat, back in a hat, wearing an undershirt, and I wore long underwear to walk the dogs this morning. | ||
| It's brutal. | ||
| Okay, well, word on the street is that temperatures are going to rise eventually. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So... | ||
| Fired. | ||
| Was this what the hedgehog, the groundhog told us? | ||
| The hedgehog? | ||
| The groundhog? | ||
| Oh, the Groundhog Day from the Fenway. | ||
| I never remember. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| If it sees the shadow, it's six more weeks of winter? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| Maybe it might be the other way around. | ||
| Or the other way around. | ||
| I never remember which one it is. | ||
| I think the fact that neither of us know kind of suggests how meaningless it is in the first place. | ||
| Sure, but it definitely didn't predict that it would be 60, then snow, then 60, then 20. That would be a very strange prediction for a groundhog. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Very specific. | ||
| It would require writing, perhaps pictographs. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So anyway, shorts tomorrow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| Says the Groundhog. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, Jordan, today we have an episode to go over. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| And we're talking about February 26th. | ||
| 2024. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Which is Monday. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And the reason that we're doing this is we're in a little bit of a saga, I think. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And that is Alex wrestling with his feelings about Elon Musk. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| So on our last episode, we saw him going so far as to personalize criticism about Elon Musk. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Elon is giving him nothing but satisfaction. | ||
| He is the great wrecking ball against the globalists. | ||
| Hey, if you want to complain about him, you Pharisees, you purer-than-thou types, I don't want to be sitting here with the grandpas complaining about how Musk wasn't in the battle 20 years ago. | ||
| He was really very defensive. | ||
| Are you about to tell me that we are going to condense what should be a longer time period of disillusionment into about an hour? | ||
| Maybe a day. | ||
| So there's a little bit of a shift. | ||
| We're speedrunning hatred, is what we're doing. | ||
| Well, you know, on our last episode, there was a bit of a... | ||
| I kind of knew that eventually this was going to have to be revisited. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Because the tide was going to shift a little. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| Not so much expecting next episode. | ||
| But such is the info war. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Comes at your face. | |
| Allegiances shift. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| All kinds of ins and outs. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So we'll get down to business on this and some other important news. | ||
| But before we do, let's say hello to some new wonks. | ||
| Ooh, that's a great idea. | ||
| So first, I just paid off my student loans and can now fund the information war. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| If you say that, I imagine you being like 75. I paid off my student loans and you're like decrepit. | ||
| That's in my head. | ||
| Because that's when I'm going to pay them off. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Those grandpas who are Pharisees and purer than you. | ||
| Next, congratulations, Zooey and Sidnar, on getting engaged from Zanely the Ridster and Squeaky. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Next, fuck Glitterbug Churches. | ||
| Be ties to Knowledge Fight. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Next, Dan and Jordan. | ||
| We both love Knowledge Fight and use it as an inspiration from Bugs and Bam Bam in the Bibliorex. | ||
| Bibliorex. | ||
| I did it right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
| I pronounced it podcast. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| And you're doing the Lord's work, and by that I mean the Lord of the world and darkness. | ||
| Just as real as whatever Alex says. | ||
| The Dan Brown of the right. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| And we've got a technocrat in the mix, Jordan, so thank you so much to Alex Jones' neighbor's still uneaten ass. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a technocrat. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| I don't like to hype things, but people are designed to hype. | ||
| I am going to paint once a week on air. | ||
| And I'm going to let callers call in. | ||
| We'll also take emails and request what you want to see me paint. | ||
| One, two, three, Matt Damon! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Matt Damon! | |
| There you go. | ||
| Party time. | ||
| I'm going to get in your guts. | ||
| And the Nazis, in my view, were thugs. | ||
| It shook people down to a lot of really bad things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But they did good things, too. | |
| We're going to stop dissing the Nazis all the time. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm thinking about doing some shows, too, where I run the whole thing myself, just hit record, and sit in the dark with just a few candles and candlelight. | ||
| And talk about the nature of the world universe. | ||
| I mean, you know, a big old juicy ribeye, folks, is as good as, you know, sex with your wife. | ||
| I mean, let's just get down to reality here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm gonna go Donkey Kong King Kong crazy. | |
| In about 45 days. | ||
| America sucks. | ||
| We're all racist. | ||
| It's over. | ||
| Doesn't mean I want to go live, say, in some places in Asia, where you get off the plane over there, folks, they karate chop you. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| So, we start off on the 26th, and Alex is in a bit of a state, I would say. | ||
| The first segment of the show, there's some special reports and stuff to play, and then Alex comes in right before it goes out to commercial. | ||
| It's Monday, February 26, 2024. | ||
| We are live. | ||
| But for how long? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Enemy forces have entered the base. | |
| Enemy forces have entered the base. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stay with us for emergency transmission updates. | |
| Dramatic fuck. | ||
| Somebody sell that desk. | ||
| Somebody sell that goddamn desk now. | ||
| Enemies are in the building. | ||
| Enemies are in the fucking building. | ||
| This is our final transmission. | ||
| We 100% need the, like... | ||
| Classic, sitcom-esque repo men are taking shit away during the broadcast. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| We need that, right? | ||
| That would be a great visual. | ||
| That's gotta be there for us, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, that'd be nice. | ||
| So Alex comes back, and he's gonna get to some news, but first he has to complain about how the globalists are trying to kill off everyone in order to create a Superman, but they're actually not. | ||
| They're not! | ||
| Just one? | ||
| Just one! | ||
| Well, maybe a... | ||
| Crew, super people. | ||
| But they're actually not. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That's not what they're doing. | ||
| No. | ||
| But that's what they say they're doing, which isn't what they say they're doing. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| And the globalists believe that they're abusing us as mass guinea pigs and out of this metamorphosis, out of this grand experiment that they are honchoing, the Ubermension or the Superman, the fittest, will come climbing out of that pool of slime. | ||
| Now, really, they're just a bunch of evil people that hate themselves and hate us. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Who congregate and organize into groups, into wolf packs, into piratical assemblages. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| Who go out then and basically wage war on... | ||
| Piratical assemblages. | ||
| That's pretty nice. | ||
| Hijack human invention. | ||
| They sequester it for themselves. | ||
| And then anoint themselves the high priest and lords of the earth. | ||
| Well, one of those lords, and I'll be talking about this later in the hour, but it's not the most important news, so I'll do it later. | ||
| The fourth baron Rothschild, the fourth baron de Rothschild, Jacob Rothschild, is dead at 87. And I posted some things that weren't too mean on X today. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I'm sorry, what? | ||
| He liked to pose in front of Satan, idols. | ||
| He liked to pose in front of paintings of Lucifer. | ||
| So we said, hey, Lucifer is summoning his legions. | ||
| There he is with the head Alisher Crowley witch, Marina Abranovich, and behind him is a famous painting of Lucifer summoning his legions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| You know, I'd say, well, maybe it was a Halloween photo they took. | ||
| I can give her the benefit of the doubt. | ||
| With the Rothschilds, it's constant posing in front of satanic regalia and eyes wide shut parties and things like that. | ||
| So that's what they're into. | ||
| That's what they do. | ||
| And so he's with his god now. | ||
| Very interesting. | ||
| That is interesting. | ||
| So I'm fascinated, but I'm not fascinated by it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Simultaneously surprised and not surprised that you immediately picked up on that Halloween costume thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Clearly being something about it. | ||
| Because that caller on Friday had said that Elon Musk dressed up like Baphomet. | ||
| And Alex was like, oh, it's a Halloween costume. | ||
| It is a Halloween costume. | ||
| And now he's clearly trapping himself in a, wait a second, maybe I should only worship, wait, no. | ||
| Worshiping one billionaire is the same as worshiping another. | ||
| No! | ||
| Also, I'm thrilled that Alex didn't post anything too mean. | ||
| On just that he worships the devil and is now in hell. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| First off, okay, if that is the case, if that is the case, both barrels, there is no such thing as too mean. | ||
| No. | ||
| You work for the fuck! | ||
| I'll say all kinds of mean words to you, sir. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I would say that's fine if you're, you know, attacking a demon or something. | ||
| But I think saying that someone works for the devil the day they die is maybe a little mean. | ||
| If they work for the devil and you are certain of this... | ||
| Counterpoint. | ||
| Then no! | ||
| The devil doesn't exist. | ||
| Okay, there is that. | ||
| People aren't working for the devil. | ||
| They're not demon-possessed, so... | ||
| It is mean. | ||
| See, here's what I'm saying. | ||
| And this is now my new litmus test, alright? | ||
| You clearly don't believe in your own bullshit if you're not willing to call that guy the C-word on the day he dies. | ||
| I think Alex is trying to be another C-word, which is classy. | ||
| I think that's what he's doing. | ||
| It's transparent, and I don't buy it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So, Alex. | ||
| He called out the Rothschild just a week ago. | ||
| So did he kill him? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe that's the implication. | ||
| I called out Lord Rothschild. | ||
| Was it just last week? | ||
| I said, Lord Rothschild, you are doomed to hell with the rest of your forces. | ||
| Not too mean. | ||
| Very interesting. | ||
| Why? | ||
| I want to find that clip. | ||
| I did it a little bit forcefully. | ||
| I had no idea that he was so ill. | ||
| A jolly old chappy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's 87! | |
| That is ill! | ||
| My pretty. | ||
| So, we're going to be discussing that. | ||
| Weird noises. | ||
| That's strange. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know if Alex is tracing some kind of, like, I called it, but he's saying I didn't know he was that ill, so he obviously didn't call it. | ||
| He was just talking shit, which he does all the time. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Any week you could have found him saying some kind of shit about the Rothschilds, probably. | ||
| I mean, here's my question, right? | ||
| Is it so much of a bad thing if you've got, like, legions? | ||
| Like, if you die, and sure, you go to hell. | ||
| So, the environment, not as nice as you'd like, obviously. | ||
| It's a dry heat. | ||
| It's a dry heat, you know? | ||
| But you've got legions. | ||
| At least you personally have legions. | ||
| This is the classic servant in heaven, king in hell kind of thing. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| But that is a classic fallacy. | ||
| You are not a king in hell. | ||
| And Alex actually does talk about that a little bit later. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, well, there we go. | |
| So your thinking is very clearly off. | ||
| Clearly. | ||
| But yeah, our apologies also to a friend of the show, Mike Rothschild, who we would have liked to have on to comment about this, but time, just get out of the time to work that out. | ||
| But I'm sure he's gotten a lot of shit from people. | ||
| Yeah, no doubt. | ||
| In the aftermath of this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So that's one big story. | ||
| Rothschild is dead. | ||
| And there's another big story. | ||
| It's a pretty big deal. | ||
| Dan Bongino got a secret document of the CIA. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Under orders of Obama, who set up a stay-behind network. | ||
| Dan Bongino. | ||
| In late 2016, to target Donald Trump, Alex Jones, Roger Stone, and 23 others. | ||
| And it said, in the larger document that Bongino was going to release more of, it's highly classified, he's released one page of it. | ||
| What? | ||
| That they were ordered by Brennan. | ||
| CIA director. | ||
| Does he have to respect class of village? | ||
| To bump us. | ||
| Now, bumping means harass or attack. | ||
| And that's what all this is. | ||
| They've been bumping me. | ||
| Because they think I'll get in a little corner and curl up and pee-pee on myself. | ||
| Well, I think they've noticed that's not happened with myself or Trump or anybody else. | ||
| It just makes us know we're totally right about what criminal scum you are. | ||
| No, hygienic people use the corner. | ||
| They're bumping you. | ||
| You know, bumping you off. | ||
| It means everything from running into somebody in the grocery store to slicing their tires to suing them to planting drugs on them to bumping you. | ||
| You know, bump man, button man, bump you off. | ||
| What a nice document. | ||
| What a nice document. | ||
| All the bumping. | ||
| Took us a while, but we got there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Dan Bongino didn't release any classified document. | ||
| He put up a list of 26 names on his show. | ||
| He just had a picture of names. | ||
| Looks like something from a fucking notepad document. | ||
| It is not from any official CIA release document. | ||
| And he just said that this was a list of names that an unnamed source told him that were being targeted by the feds. | ||
| There's no document. | ||
| I have zero reason to put stock into things Dan Bongino is... | ||
| That said, I wanted to get a handle on what the deal with this bumping thing was, since Alex seems to give the term a very broad definition. | ||
| Seems like it could be anything, really. | ||
| I went to the Infowars article about this, and they say, quote, in spy speak, bumping is when a reason is manufactured to meet with the target of interest in order to develop a relationship that could lead to intelligence, the New York Post reported. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| So it's like an on-purpose meet-cute, if you will. | ||
| Yes, but one person isn't aware, and it's a setup. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So that New York Post article is what this actually traces back to, which is a post on Michael Schellenberger's Substack, co-written by Matt Taibbi and Alex Gutentag from about two weeks ago. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Dan Pagino is just re-reporting this story and saying that he has his own sources on it, but not revealing anything new. | ||
| The article also has no document underlying it, and it is based on, quote, multiple credit... | ||
| I find that wording a little strange. | ||
| Is it not enough to say that multiple sources have told you this stuff? | ||
| If we're supposed to take your reporting seriously, shouldn't it be implied that your sources are credible based on the fact that you're basing a report on them? | ||
| You'd think. | ||
| So the Substack article ends with this. | ||
| Quote, unknown details about the FBI's investigation of the Trump campaign and raw intelligence related to the IC's, intelligence community's surveillance of the Trump campaign, are in a 10-inch binder that Trump ordered to be declassified at the very end of his term, sources told Public and Racket. | ||
| If the top secret documents exist proving these charges, they are potentially proof that multiple U.S. intelligence officials broke laws against spying and election interference. | ||
| If these top secret documents exist, am I supposed to believe that these documents definitely exist if the person writing this article doesn't even seem to trust their very credible sources about their existence? | ||
| I am going to throw this out at you. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I am willing to accept a, like, I'm not 100% sure what's in the documents because who can be? | ||
| Even if you saw them, maybe that was some blacked out shit. | ||
| They do that. | ||
| The government's crazy. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| But let me tell you something. | ||
| If you go, I don't even know if that shit's real. | ||
| I say, go away, sir. | ||
| Go away! | ||
| Be gone! | ||
| So the evoking of this 10-inch binder of super-secret documents that Trump ordered declassified at the end of his term, it smacks a little too much of someone in Trump's orbit creating a counter-narrative to the fact that he's facing criminal charges for his handling of classified documents. | ||
| But I guess they could actually just produce the document, or these sources go on the record. | ||
| That could help solidify these claims. | ||
| But for now, we have Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberger's sub-stack that has no proof behind it, and then Dan Bongino talking shit, and Alex exaggerating. | ||
| Operating that talking shit on his own show for his own purposes. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| You can just... | ||
| If you get the ball rolling and enough people are there, then you can just say shit forever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And they just stay. | ||
| Like Matt Tybee, what is he even doing? | ||
| What is he doing? | ||
| Not sure. | ||
| He used to write books. | ||
| I remember reading a book of his in the past, and I went... | ||
| Those are words. | ||
| I accept them. | ||
| He still uses words. | ||
| I disagree. | ||
| Strongly. | ||
| It is the strategy that you just gotta keep rolling, rolling, rolling. | ||
| You just gotta keep rolling. | ||
| Fred Durst taught us all about that. | ||
| He's done it all for several reasons. | ||
| Or perhaps just one. | ||
| You gotta have faith in your ability to spread bullshit. | ||
| That's wise. | ||
| So there's another story here that Alex has. | ||
| This is a bunch of bullshit too. | ||
| So, The Atlantic. | ||
| Is officially saying that they are not going to let Trump in, and that they will do what they claim he did, and Congress decertify the election. | ||
| They've indicted Trump for claiming he did that when he didn't do it. | ||
| He wanted an investigation to look at it. | ||
| Now they're officially saying, if he wins, we just won't accept it. | ||
|

Not if we think we won, we'll fight it. | |
| No, no, no. | ||
| If he wins, we'll just steal it. | ||
| It's all about the arrogance. | ||
| Now there's the headline. | ||
| How Democrats could disqualify Trump if the Supreme Court doesn't. | ||
| Isn't that interesting? | ||
| A lot of things are interesting. | ||
| You know, in Trump's cases, the federal ones that left kangaroo juries, I bet you a billion dollars, which I don't have, of course, that they will never even allow that article put out by the establishment to be like, look, they're the ones proposing it. | ||
| Or the New York Times article months before the election in 2020 that was John Podesta, the reporter, at the big war game where they said, oh, if Trump wins, we're just going to disregard it and have our own inauguration, and that's the end of it. | ||
| Isn't that interesting? | ||
| Isn't that amazing? | ||
| It's amazing and interesting. | ||
| So we've been over it a bunch, but that article about Podesta and the war game wasn't about planning to delegitimize a Trump victory. | ||
| It was about exploring what could be done if Trump lost and refused to leave office. | ||
| Rosa Brooks, the co-founder of the group in question, the Transition Integrity Project, said in an interview, quote, Turns out that was good forward | ||
| thinking. | ||
| As for this Atlantic article, it's not announcing plans for Democrats to steal the election. | ||
| This was an article about oral arguments that are being made before the Supreme Court in the Colorado case regarding making Trump ineligible to be on the ballot. | ||
| The attorney representing the voters from Colorado was warning the court that if they didn't make a determination in a timely fashion, they ran the risk of creating a scenario where representatives in Congress had to, quote, This was a lawyer urging the court not to delay the decision because the consequences of not providing solid legal guidance could be a disaster. | ||
| The House Democrats cited in this article all express a desire for the court to decide because, as Adam Schiff said of the alternative, quote, that would be a colossal disaster. | ||
| We already had one horrendous January 6th. | ||
| We don't need another. | ||
| The point of this article is not that Democrats are announcing a plan to steal the election. | ||
| It's reflecting an almost universal sentiment that the Supreme Court needs to make a decision on this, and if they don't, shit's going to be bad. | ||
| The takeaway from this article is that the court can't dodge this. | ||
| They just can't do that. | ||
| That's the unacceptable avenue. | ||
| They're going to do that. | ||
| If they punt and don't make a definitive ruling one way or another, it will lead to a crisis. | ||
| And there's a huge likelihood that some states will try to disqualify Trump. | ||
| It's fucked up to be in a situation where members of the House are tossing around possibilities like this, but if they decide to disqualify Trump, Mm-hmm. | ||
| It's a completely different legal question than what Trump did in the 2020 election. | ||
| It bears certain superficial similarities, but it's entirely different. | ||
| And one of the primary differences is that pretty much everyone in this case is just saying, please don't put us in that situation, Supreme Court. | ||
| Just make a fucking ruling. | ||
| And you'd have no faith that they will. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| I mean, I... | ||
| I am so amazed at... | ||
| Because there's two things, right? | ||
| It's either the people that have been elected to be in the places where you elect them are so utterly incapable of learning anything that we're just going to watch this happen. | ||
| Or they're like... | ||
| I don't know if they're doing it on purpose, but they have some sort of motivation that keeps them from doing anything useful. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Because it's either you haven't learned anything over the past my entire life, or you're like, this is great, and I'll die before there are consequences for it, right? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think that the ideal situation is have something to point to. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Like, the Supreme Court decision, if there is a decision, then we all abide by that, and we have to listen to that. | ||
| So, it's not wanting to take the heat for making that decision either way. | ||
| So, if the court comes back and says, like, this is up to the states, then they're fucked. | ||
| Right, but that's what I'm saying. | ||
| Like, you understand learning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is not the first time we've been here before. | |
| But if you read the article in The Atlantic, the people who are talking to them, like Jamie Raskin, are saying things like, we might have to do this. | ||
| So there is some reflection of some learning. | ||
| Well, let's find out. | ||
| Here's what we're going to do. | ||
| I'm going to root for people being able to learn. | ||
| I'm going to defy expectations. | ||
| I'm going to buck trends. | ||
| Can I ask you a question? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And here's a quart of vodka. | ||
| What are the ways to learn? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ooh, I'm gonna need all of this, baby. | |
| So, another question that I have is that, does Alex think that misrepresentations of headlines are powerful evidence to present in court? | ||
| Like, I get that he operates wholly in the sphere of public opinion, but it's hard to imagine that he actually thinks this Atlantic article, or the one about Podesta, would have any relevance in an actual courtroom. | ||
| He's saying, I bet you a billion dollars this won't come up in the... | ||
| Of course it won't! | ||
| Here's, and actually, you know what? | ||
| Let me throw this out at you, right? | ||
| In the Atlantic, they are making a good point. | ||
| Norms will not descend like some fury from the gods. | ||
| Well, that's from a different article, actually. | ||
| That's the Transition Integrity Project co-founder who is talking about the war games. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Just to be clear. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| Clear, clarity. | ||
| But I think, I do also think that maybe that's an implication that's behind the Atlantic article. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Fair enough. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| But, you know, like. | ||
| People are inevitably, if there is a takeover, probably just going to be like, well, and then just kind of move forward. | ||
| Like history has proven. | ||
| There could be a flare-up. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Always possible. | ||
| But then people may adjust. | ||
| So, what if the Atlantic did it? | ||
| Right. | ||
| How many people does the Atlantic employ? | ||
| I'm not sure, but I don't think enough to take over a country. | ||
| I say probably 750. | ||
| I think you could do it with 750. | ||
| If they all were focused. | ||
| How many people do you think were at January 6th? | ||
| About 750? | ||
| But only a few of, only a hundred of them were focused and determined. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| They were like slinking through the shadows. | ||
| If everybody there had a purpose, worked for the Atlantic. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You make an interesting point. | ||
| I think that's what will happen, yeah. | ||
| So let's move on to the next bullshit headline that Alex does. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then we've got even crazier, more important articles. | ||
| Da Nang fever surges 400% in Brazil after Bill Gates' back gene-editing mosquitoes are released. | ||
| Am I reading that article? | ||
| Well, he's a nice man. | ||
| I'd like to give you a shot for a spike protein that makes your body produce a spike protein. | ||
| And it's the audacity of it, you see. | ||
| It has to be the audacity. | ||
| Like, no malaria here until he releases malaria mosquitoes. | ||
| I'm sorry? | ||
| They, quote, go out and mate with the other mosquitoes so they can't carry malaria, but they've got malaria in some weird genetic experiment, and then we get malaria. | ||
| Sounds scientific. | ||
| But that's okay. | ||
| He's your doctor. | ||
| You didn't know that? | ||
| I didn't. | ||
| So it's dengue fever, not Danang. | ||
| Yeah, I was going to say. | ||
| Danang's a city in Vietnam. | ||
| I was going to say. | ||
| So you can see here that Alex is proposing an idiotic conspiracy theory that genetically modified mosquitoes are causing an outbreak of dengue fever in Brazil. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| The reality is that there is a huge dengue fever outbreak that's been going on there this year, with the New York Times citing the Brazilian health ministry estimate that there will be 4.2 million cases this year. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fuck. | |
| So dengue fever is spread by mosquitoes, and Brazil has been seeing record temperatures Pretty much everybody understands that... | ||
| climate change changing these patterns. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is not just a Brazil problem. | |
| There are cases rising in surrounding countries, and we've seen it here in the United States for the first time in the last few years. | ||
| Great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Most cases of dengue fever are very mild, and sometimes you don't even get any symptoms. | |
| However, about 5% of cases become severe dengue, which then has a low mortality rate if it's treated, but if not, kills about 15% of people who get it. | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now, you add to this problem that mosquitoes have become very insecticide resistant, and you have a real dilemma. | |
| There's a promising new vaccine, but that doesn't really help people now. | ||
| So obviously, one strategy is increased testing, providing that for people. | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Catch it early, be able to provide treatment so it doesn't become severe dengue. | |
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But another is releasing genetically modified mosquitoes. | |
| A British company called Oxitec has created these mosquitoes by injecting a bacteria called Wolbachia into the eggs of these mosquitoes. | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This has a dual effect of And it disrupts the ability of these mosquitoes to reproduce. | |
| There's been promise shown in the pilot launches of the mosquitoes, like in Medellin, Colombia, where Axios reported that they saw, quote, dengue contagion reports dropped by up to 97% from 2022 to 2023. | ||
| That's a lot. | ||
| Even so, there are plenty of environmental questions that this raises, and the specter of unintended consequences is definitely there. | ||
| I think a certain amount of uneasiness about this idea, pretty reasonable, but what Alex is doing is absurd. | ||
| These mosquitoes are categorically not causing more cases of dengue fever to pop up, but that's the impression that Alex is giving, and, you know, it's just stupid. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah, I get where people are coming from, you know, but it's already too late. | ||
| We might as well just... | ||
| Full force, you know? | ||
| Like, listen, we've already terraformed... | ||
| You mean getting rid of these, like, environmental concerns of unintended consequences? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I mean, listen, look at everything we are as unintended consequences. | ||
| When you look outside, this is all horrific unintended consequences. | ||
| We're already past 1.5c up degrees Celsius, so let's fucking... | ||
| Full force! | ||
| Maybe we'll get through to the other side! | ||
| You know, you go through the... | ||
| Okay, so the roadrunner... | ||
| Right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| Goes through the fucking wall! | ||
| Right, that's just painted on there? | ||
| The coyote can't. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because the coyote doesn't believe. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right, the roadrunner believes. | ||
| That's an interesting philosophical perspective. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I think that, you know, in reality you can take... | ||
| You know, sort of a measured look at this and say, you know, there are some potential consequences that you could see, and maybe those are things that we can deal with. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| The alternative is not doing something that you can do that would save a lot of people from sickness and death. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| You know, you gotta balance this out, and I understand why people would have slightly different takes on it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I don't understand why someone would have your take on it. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| The Roadrunner. | ||
| Let's fucking go! | ||
| How is that not a take that makes sense to people? | ||
| You know what? | ||
| It makes more and more sense when you think about it. | ||
| So, look. | ||
| There's all these headlines. | ||
| They're all bullshit. | ||
| But we get to the really important piece of information. | ||
| And that is that Alex is now mad at Elon Musk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A little bit. | |
| A little bit mad at him. | ||
| Okay, a little bit. | ||
| Now that I've mentioned it, I'm going to drill back into each stack of great detail. | ||
| But first, there's this. | ||
| And... | ||
| This is a very important story for everybody. | ||
| This story isn't just about us. | ||
| It's mostly about him. | ||
| I don't know yet exactly what is actually going on. | ||
| We know the specifics of what's happened, but we're not sure if Elon Musk is behind this or if it's Ghost of the Machine. | ||
| And employees and people that after he goes by and sees something happening and frees it up, it's a big company, big organization, they come back and incrementally put the shadow banning systems in place. | ||
| Twitter's being mean to you. | ||
| And it's the first of many articles because I decided to go ahead and talk about it today. | ||
| So I told the crew about this morning and they put out one article that just 100% proves in this one area. | ||
| InfoWars is being massively censored on X, formerly Twitter. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| He's now calling it X, formerly Twitter. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| It's gone from just X to this hedging. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Oh, this was inevitable. | ||
| It's just so much like learning, man. | ||
| Conditional. | ||
| Everything about Alex is so conditional. | ||
| Just like the slightest change in condition will cause a massive change in circumstance. | ||
| Yeah, so we have a situation now where Alex is seeing something he doesn't like on Twitter, and now it's either Elon Musk himself who's responsible for this, or there's stay-behind networks of people within Twitter who Elon hasn't taken care of and needs to deal with. | ||
| There's deep X state, and then there's deep Twitter state. | ||
| It's a whole mess. | ||
| It is. | ||
| Factions within the company. | ||
| And I think that this is such a complex and nuanced and important issue that Alex realizes that he can't really cover it without getting his exhibits together. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| We've been observing a bunch of other things going on. | ||
| This we can prove. | ||
| And I've asked people that are way more proficient on social media and tech to investigate it. | ||
| And this has been going on for a few weeks. | ||
| They're like, absolutely, this is being blocked. | ||
| When you put your live show feed up on your own profile, people are going there to find it and they're burying it so only a few percentage of people can actually see the show. | ||
| So let's go to X for people watching on TV. | ||
| Let's go to the real Alex Jones channel right now and let's show people how normally you have the live show feed. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| We'll do it later. | ||
| Let's just stop now. | ||
| I'm not mad at the crew. | ||
| This is a big deal, so I need to get the exhibits ready so that we can properly display all this and properly show everyone. | ||
| So maybe in a couple hours, maybe we'll revisit it again. | ||
| Why did you start? | ||
| How can you start and not realize, oh, I can't continue? | ||
| I'm going to talk a little shit. | ||
| I'm going to get to the end of the road. | ||
| And then I'm going to be like, eh, can't do it. | ||
| We'll drive later when the road is built. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or whatever. | ||
| But of course, that's not what Alex does. | ||
| If you go to Real Alex Jones on X. Here, I'll show you on my phone, actually. | ||
| Oh, no, there it is. | ||
| Scroll down, please. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| If you go there, keep scrolling, keep scrolling. | ||
| A little bit faster. | ||
| A little bit faster. | ||
| Stop. | ||
| A little bit faster now. | ||
| A little bit faster now. | ||
| On our computers, it's able to be seen right now. | ||
| It'll either go up for like an hour, we don't touch it, and then it gets pulled down. | ||
| It's still there, but nobody can find it. | ||
| Or it's up for five, six hours, it goes away. | ||
| Or sometimes nobody can see it. | ||
| And so that's another thing that's going on. | ||
| It's unfortunate that when you pulled it up, it was there. | ||
| So now I don't... | ||
| The evidence that you're presenting is counter to what you're saying. | ||
| There is that. | ||
| But then, oh, it disappears sporadically. | ||
| Oh, all right. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That's not an exhibit. | ||
| I mean, isn't it something about how websites will sometimes prioritize what shows up on people's stuff by an algorithm of a thing? | ||
| I have no idea, but that sounds like shadow banning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| It does. | ||
| It sounds like shadow banning. | ||
| It does. | ||
| And it turns out that also ban.video links. | ||
| Banned. | ||
| Which is appropriate, because it's banned on video. | ||
| I mean, aren't all video links of some sort messed around with? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I haven't been on it for forever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who knows? | |
| I don't know exactly how it works, but I'm sure... | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Alex is convinced that one of the likely possibilities is that people have been flagging his stuff, and I think that maybe there is a chance that that is true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that would make sense. | |
| Because his shit is wildly offensive. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So I think that there's a chance that people are just like, fuck this. | ||
| And maybe that's causing some things to be hidden or whatever, but he's a little bit frustrated about the shadow bank. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, poor baby. | |
| What we do know that's going on is InfoWarsBand.video platform, censored by ex-users, can't post links or send private messages. | ||
| Now, when Elon Musk took back over, or took it over, what was it? | ||
| A year plus ago, he said he would bring freedom, you know, back. | ||
| And I think to a certain extent he has. | ||
| He's certainly himself been. | ||
| That's not how freedom works. | ||
| It was irrevocably damaging. | ||
| There was something very positive about that. | ||
| But then when he brought me back on three months ago, we weren't allowed to do spaces. | ||
| We weren't allowed to post Band Out Video. | ||
| It got raised to him. | ||
| He said, yeah, we've got to reconnect all that. | ||
| There's a lot of connections. | ||
| Sometimes the defaults turn back on. | ||
| And so Band Out Video, you can send the link out for a while. | ||
| But now all of a sudden you can't send it out and it gives you a notice saying that you need to go talk to and follow a link so that you can learn how you violated the rules. | ||
| This is very scandalous. | ||
| Band of video links don't work. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Your eyebrow is raised. | ||
| I mean, yeah. | ||
| What is everybody expecting to happen? | ||
| Well, I mean, I think I can sort of tell you. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Alex wants to just do whatever he wants. | ||
| I mean, but isn't that... | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Here's what I'm saying, right? | ||
| So if you are Elon Musk or whatever, and you're like, oh, I'm bringing freedom! | ||
| Don't you flag Alex's account as just like... | ||
| We don't ban this guy. | ||
| For whatever reason, just untouchable. | ||
| Spoiler alert, a little bit later, that is exactly what Alex wants. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He wants to be on some list of people who are immune from any kind of anything. | ||
| But that's the idea. | ||
| That's the whole idea of bringing quote-unquote freedom. | ||
| That's what fascism is, is some people get all the freedom, and other people get zero of the freedom. | ||
| And the people that you give that freedom to are people who are most likely to... | ||
| Stub their toe and start screaming at you. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Because they're little babies. | ||
| Because they're little babies. | ||
| And Alex and Elon are essentially identical emotionally. | ||
| But you know what the problem with that is? | ||
| What? | ||
| He's now created so many Alexes on Twitter. | ||
| That is a good point. | ||
| That you would have to give it to all of these accounts. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| And then, you know, that kind of ruins the exclusivity of it. | ||
| Much like the VIP microchips. | ||
| Yeah, well. | ||
| That were the mark of the beast. | ||
| But Elon's Neuralink is not. | ||
| The idea of a human being not recognizing that you can bring freedom or you can bring no freedom. | ||
| You can't bring a little bit of freedom. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's not how that works. | ||
| But he has for his own account, which is what Alex is pointing out here. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He's done it for himself. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But the problem, I think, was that there was an expectation led by Musk himself that Twitter was now going to be the... | ||
| Wiggy, wiggy, wild, wild west. | ||
| Oh, did he perhaps say something up front and then not deliver? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Alex is confused about, was he just pretending? | ||
| Definitely, we've seen mass throttling that's been intensifying the last month or so, and all the other conservatives and people and populists I've talked to see that. | ||
| So, here's the deal. | ||
| I've been looking at this for a while. | ||
| Well, if you go into the comments on the live feed, people are posting their experiences, what they've seen. | ||
| And there's a lot of things they're seeing, a lot of things they're screen capturing, a lot of things they're getting video captures of. | ||
| And so I think we're at the stage here of finding how bad the manipulation is on X. What does that mean? | ||
| Way more open and free. | ||
| Let's say when Musk took over... | ||
| Freedom on there was about, on a scale of 1 to 100, about a 2. Then Musk brought it back up to, like, let's say an 80, as 100 being the best. | ||
| And now it's starting to drop down to, like, 70. We need to have a discussion about that and find out why that is and what changes have been made. | ||
| Or is he doing what Google did 25 years ago, where they're open and free at first, get everybody on the platform, and it works so great and it's so wonderful. | ||
| Then over time, they start bringing in controls. | ||
| Until now, it's a complete and total fraud. | ||
| I mean, is that all he was doing was buying it, Wild Wild Westing it for a while, kind of reinvigorate it and give it market dominance, and then start going back to what all the other tech giants did? | ||
| I mean, I've said I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt, but we're going to watch all this very, very closely. | ||
| But this is such a complex issue. | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| Two days ago, you were saying you had nothing but satisfaction from Musk, and now this has been lingering for a while? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's a little weird. | ||
| Yeah, he's been researching this for weeks. | ||
| He spent a couple of those weeks right with his nose up Elon's butt. | ||
| Pretending to talk to a fake Elon Musk. | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| So Elon probably wasn't just pretending to want to turn Twitter into a Wild Wild West, but I'm guessing that in the time since buying the company, he's just learned that there was a reason why certain things that Alex calls censorship were in place. | ||
| Unfortunately for him, he's probably learned too late. | ||
| He told advertisers to go fuck themselves, and now people who paid for their check marks so they could make money off engagement harvesting are mad that they're not getting paid. | ||
| It's not a model that's viable in the long term, unless you want to pay out of pocket to run your site so you can let shitheads post nonsense. | ||
| And now, Musk is going to learn why any engagement with Alex is probably a bad idea. | ||
| He cracked open the door to let Alex back on, and what do you know, Alex ended up finding a conspiracy deep in the company that he's going to incite people around about why he's not popular enough. | ||
| I'm just a humble outside observer, but I would bet that Alex maybe realized that the shit he did on Friday was a little peasant. | ||
| And that his support of Musk didn't match where his audience was at. | ||
| This is an attempt to realign his position with the audience by creating a completely meaningless complaint about Twitter that he demands Elon fix. | ||
| This was somewhat inevitable, as I've been saying for a bit. | ||
| The correct conspiracy theorist position is not to trust Musk at all, and Alex is trying to get right with the game now, which David Icke was right about from the jump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And I think that explains a lot of this recalibration that Alex is doing. | ||
| I think... | ||
| I appreciate Alex in this regard. | ||
| For one reason. | ||
| And that is because, referring back to our weakest link, you know, like, Alex is just the weakest link of the propaganda chain. | ||
| It's very clear, very transparent what's going on. | ||
| Man. | ||
| When he is making a lesser of two evil arguments, it lays bare how stupid the concept is entirely. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Whenever you're like, whenever Alex Jones is making the same, like, no, here's why you should fucking, W is better than, no, you're done. | ||
| We're all done with lesser of two evil arguments. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Get out of here. | |
| I disagree. | ||
| I disagree with you there. | ||
| I don't think all lesser of two argument evil, lesser of two evil arguments is, I don't think they're all inherently meaningless or anything. | ||
| I do agree with you that sometimes they can be limiting in terms of imagining a better world. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I mean, if you've got Alex saying it, then come on. | ||
| Well, I think that it lays bare more how ridiculous Alex's principles are and shit. | ||
| Because, you know, in the same way that, like... | ||
| Alex would never equivocate about someone putting chips in your brain if it wasn't someone like Elon Musk who he has a vested interest in. | ||
| That principle that should be there is not there because he has this, well, he's not as bad as other tech platforms. | ||
| And that's not something that he would, a grace that he would afford in any other situation. | ||
| If there's another billionaire who's putting chips in people. | ||
| No, exactly. | ||
| That's exactly what you're saying. | ||
| I mean, yeah. | ||
| If it's a principle... | ||
| Then it's an all or nothing principle. | ||
| You can't have a little bit. | ||
| You can't be like, hey listen, anybody who puts chips in your brain is evil. | ||
| Except this guy who puts a few chips in your brain. | ||
| Nope, that's not how it works. | ||
| It's either all or nothing with this kind of thing. | ||
| That's your principle. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I agree with that for the most part. | ||
| So Alex is gonna really get down to the bottom of this. | ||
| The way he's gonna do that is he's gonna have some meetings with some people. | ||
| About Musk during the show. | ||
| In the breaks, I guess. | ||
| I think he's going to talk to Chase Geiser. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That makes sense. | |
| I think that's what's going to happen. | ||
| Okay, all right. | ||
| What I'm going to do is cover all the other news and then I'm going to collect all this data and talk to the crew and tell them what I want to show and during the breaks have a few meetings and then I will do a little presentation on this and tell you what I really think coming up at the bottom of the next hour. | ||
| What? | ||
| But I was sitting here today thinking, you know, should I even cover this? | ||
| Or should I let it keep developing and just find out more? | ||
| Probably the latter. | ||
| I said no. | ||
| And then I couldn't stop myself from talking about it. | ||
| I've been noticing this for a couple months now and it's been intensifying. | ||
| Couple months! | ||
| That's outright banning that on the platform. | ||
| The link can't be uploaded, it can't be sent, it can't be shared. | ||
| Now, you know, the backup of that is MadMaxWorld.tv. | ||
| MadMaxWorld.tv. | ||
| One, two, three, four, go. | ||
| Yes, here's that mirrored site that you can maybe get links through. | ||
| But here's the thing that I find really interesting, is that when Alex was being confronted by David Icke, he did say some stuff like this, that Musk was censoring him on Twitter or that Twitter was censoring him. | ||
| There was some, like, but it was a throwaway thing. | ||
| It wasn't really even that big of an issue for him. | ||
| So this idea that he's felt that his posts weren't getting enough engagement That, I do think, probably has been lingering for a couple months or whatever, maybe his whole life, but it's incongruent that then he would have this defensive-ass spectacle two days before this. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I mean, it is... | ||
| Three days before. | ||
| It is fucked up because it is the pattern that we see all too often of, like, sure, in private, I was more than aware of how bad Elon was. | ||
| But for public-facing conversation, I had to present it as a completely different thing. | ||
| And that's why you can trust me. | ||
| How much different is that than what Alex was even saying on that Friday episode? | ||
| He shits gold and, you know, like, yo, hey, I'm not going to be mad when... | ||
| I get all this stuff out of it. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| So yeah, I mean, it is. | ||
| He's saying that publicly, which is bizarre. | ||
| And it's his vacillating bullshit, too, of like, oh, I can't believe he's doing that. | ||
| Well, but it's better than not being on Twitter. | ||
| Ah, but this isn't perfect. | ||
| Ah, but at least I'm on there, you know, like, it's ridiculous. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So you have another bit of news blitz. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| A lot of blitz, but there's just some headlines. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And just like that... | ||
| We accelerate from two minutes to midnight to ten seconds to midnight. | ||
| This is the London Telegraph. | ||
| Nine. | ||
| Eight. | ||
| Ukraine-Russia war. | ||
| NATO and EU members considering sending troops to Ukraine. | ||
| I told you about a month ago, I remember the German defense minister said we're getting ready for a 25, 30-year war. | ||
| The Swedish defense minister said get ready for war as early as next February. | ||
| That was just like, I guess it was late December. | ||
| The British Defense Ministry said, we're going to war with Russia, prepare for a national draft. | ||
| And now I've got a stack of corporate news here, just reporting on it like, oh, hey, did you hear a cat was stuck in a tree down the street? | ||
| And now the New York Times is like, oh, the CIA's been there fighting the Russians for at least 10 years. | ||
| Yeah, we overthrew the pro-Russian government. | ||
| Started pushing them damn Russians out, killing them. | ||
| Those bastards tried to fight back. | ||
| Now we're just going to send in NATO and whoop their ass. | ||
| We're the good guys. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So this is based on a really weird comment that French President Emmanuel Macron made after a recent meeting of European heads of state in Paris. | ||
| Macron said, quote, there's no consensus today to officially, openly, and with endorsement send troops on the ground. | ||
| But in terms of dynamics, nothing should be ruled out. | ||
| We'll do everything necessary to ensure that Russia cannot win this war. | ||
| Almost immediately, pretty much all of the European countries came out and like, we're totally not sending troops, dude. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| German Chancellor Olaf Scholz tried to clarify, quote, once again, in a very good debate, it was discussed that what was agreed from the outset among ourselves and with each other also applies to the future, namely that there will be no ground troops, no soldiers on Ukrainian soil sent there by European countries or NATO states. | ||
| NATO Secretary General Jen Stoltenberg came out and said they weren't sending troops. | ||
| Macron was talking shit. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And as for the CIA thing, the New York Times did just do a big story about the partnership between the CIA and the intelligence agency in Ukraine, but they didn't say any of the stuff that Alex is claiming. | ||
| Right. | ||
| The partnership was initiated by Ukraine and happened after the ouster of Yanukovych, so Alex has the timeline completely wrong and is just making up details. | ||
| But yeah, so they're gonna send troops. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, you know, this is one of those times where It is so big that whenever I... | ||
| It's almost like reading about fiction. | ||
| Whenever somebody's like, ah, the CIA has been working with the government of Ukraine since after Yanukovych fell. | ||
| I'm like, I live in Chicago. | ||
| I have a Walgreens that I go to regularly. | ||
| I get what you're saying. | ||
| But also, at the same time, there's a part of me that goes, I feel like I'm crazy. | ||
| I feel like I'm absolutely insane that I even know that. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| That's crazy! | ||
| Well, I think that... | ||
| I don't know if there was a reason that you wouldn't think that... | ||
| There's also that. | ||
| But it's more a function of providing resources and collaborating than it is like... | ||
| The CIA is troops that are there killing Russians or anything. | ||
| Right. | ||
| If you read that article, there's a lot of wrestling with the ability to trust the Ukrainian side that the U.S. agencies had. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And then also wrestling with, like, we can't do anything that is going to reasonably expect reasonably to cause lethal consequences. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So there was a lot of, like, going out of the way to be like, We can't do anything that's going to cause them to... | ||
| Right. | ||
| We have to try and help without helping. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| So it's kind of, you know... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It is interesting. | ||
| And it is weird to know it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it's not at all what Alex is talking about. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It is one of those things where it feels like we started off somewhere. | ||
| And then somewhere somebody took a little bit of a wrong turn, and on the way to being like, maybe if we get back on track, we'll go a little bit closer. | ||
| And then now here we are like 40 years later, and everybody is like, boy, I think we've got to start all over. | ||
| You've got to shake it like a net just sketch. | ||
| We've got to start all over, man. | ||
| Well, that's probably not the best plan either. | ||
| So, Rothschild, Jacob Rothschild, dead. | ||
| Dead! | ||
| And I guess he's transcended on to meet his god, Little G. Is his god Little G? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love that guy. | |
| And if you go to my X account, there's some pretty fun little memes from The Simpsons. | ||
| The one where you look in the mirror and it shows what you look like in hell. | ||
| And of course, Mr. Burns is what this guy's actually based off of, is Lord Rothschild. | ||
| The creators even admitted that. | ||
| And he looks in the mirror and he's... | ||
| Like a king in hell. | ||
| So I guess that's the joke, is it's better to reign in hell than serve in heaven, but you really don't reign in hell, do you? | ||
| No. | ||
| See, that was your mistake. | ||
| So this is completely made up. | ||
| Alex thinks that Jacob Rothschild looks like Mr. Burns, and there have been a bunch of memes people posted on social media claiming he's the inspiration for the character, but that is all made up. | ||
| Matt Groening based Mr. Burns on a composite of John D. Rockefeller, the former head of Fox Broadcasting, Barry Diller, and his high school teacher, Mr. Bailey. | ||
| This is a good opportunity to once again highlight the way Alex takes information that he's either making up or he got from shithead memes, which he's turning around and presenting as fact to the audience. | ||
| In a case like this, it's kind of trivial, just about the basis. | ||
| See, now here's the thing, though. | ||
| I find this backwards, right? | ||
| This is not at all trivial. | ||
| This is about the fucking Simpsons. | ||
| This is some serious shit. | ||
| This is the difference in our uprising. | ||
| This is don't fuck around shit, right? | ||
| I don't give a shit what the CIA is doing in Ukraine. | ||
| Don't fuck with the Simpsons, my man. | ||
| Seasons 2 through 9 or 11, depending on what your preference is. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I grew up not being allowed to watch the Simpsons because it promoted bad family values. | ||
| So I missed out on a lot of it and I don't have the same emotional connection as you do. | ||
| That's why you know more about the CIA in Ukraine. | ||
| I get what you're saying. | ||
| So Alex is in a bad mood. | ||
| And it's probably definitely because of Twitter. | ||
| I'm in a really bad mood right now. | ||
| So I'm really working as hard as I can to be friendly and nice and not be too mean. | ||
| But just while we were in the break, because I'm not a big ex-guy, I don't ferret through all the sub-channels and messages. | ||
| How dare you? | ||
| We got a message that I'd been flagged for doing something wrong last night. | ||
| And so that's why our video was removed. | ||
| And then I guess there is a ghost in the machine because people that hadn't restarted X could still see it, and that's why people couldn't. | ||
| So X did take down last night's show, and they will not let us send out the name Bandot Video. | ||
| And so that's a big deal that Elon Musk's operation is doing that. | ||
| He needs to fix that. | ||
| We need to reach out to folks there, and we need to get a statement from him. | ||
| So this is the new story that's developing, and it has to do with last night's show, the Sunday show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| And so that will develop as this goes along, but this is the point where Alex is like, all right, I'm coming up with a storyline of why this is happening. | ||
| And, spoiler alert, it's because he thinks it's because he talked about Bongino's dumb shit on Sunday's show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And so the man is lashing out at him and shadow banning him. | ||
| Because of the 26 names. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| The non-existent document that Alex is calling a document. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So this has to be, like, automatic, right? | ||
| The algorithm is just doing what it's supposed to do. | ||
| I think... | ||
| Because I can't imagine a person working for X being like, well, this will make Elon happy. | ||
| Block. | ||
| I'm not entirely sure. | ||
| I think that from what I understand, because I went to the InfoWars article about this, there are a number of screenshots that have someone posting a link. | ||
| To Alex's tweet that is, I guess, the live show link or whatever. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| And it'll have the link in the body of the tweet, and then the link itself will have the text like, this content is unavailable. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Or whatever. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I think that is maybe just Twitter being shitty. | ||
| I don't even know if that's a function of some kind of banning or whatever. | ||
| Because I've seen that in the case of some people's tweets. | ||
| I'm certainly not on Twitter as much as most people. | ||
| But I've seen that in the case of some misinformation researchers and stuff that I have on the follows. | ||
| So I don't know. | ||
| I think it might just be... | ||
| Something that happens on Twitter because it's a shitty site. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because they gutted it and got rid of all the stuff. | |
| I'm not ready to ascribe some kind of backlash to dumb shit, but Dan Bongino said. | ||
| Yeah, that's probably. | ||
| Especially if Dan Bongino's videos aren't also getting this same thing. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Bongino, how you doing, buddy? | ||
| He's doing good. | ||
| Yeah, shit. | ||
| So Alex runs down some headlines here, and then he needs to self-soothe. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| All right. | ||
| We talk about that quickening, but it's so intense right now, I got smoke coming out of my ears. | ||
| News is pouring in as NATO puts out through the press. | ||
| They're preparing to invade Ukraine and go full war with Russia. | ||
| And the left is screaming and yelling and absolutely loving it. | ||
| They just want nuclear war. | ||
| They want mass death. | ||
| We're in so much trouble. | ||
| I mean, we are literally in the hands of Satan right now. | ||
| Speaking of Satan, Lord Rothschild, the fourth Baron of Rothschild. | ||
| Just made the jump into the fiery furnace. | ||
| I guess Lucifer is summoning his legions. | ||
| And we'll get into that more here in a moment, as I promised to, and a bunch of other big news. | ||
| We have big financial news breaking as well we'll be getting to in the third hour. | ||
| But first, I love this V for Vendetta intro. | ||
| It always makes me feel happy, so let's just play that, then I'll try to calm it a little bit. | ||
| I just... | ||
| You know? | ||
|
unidentified
|
There are, of course, those who do not want us to speak. | |
| I need to play some beef for Red Dead to feel better. | ||
| I mean, sometimes when somebody does that in public, you know, that is... | ||
| If I'm an adult, I wouldn't just put a pacifier in my mouth and start sucking on it in public. | ||
| I'm just saying that I take the train. | ||
| Well, there's an element to this that I don't know if it is exactly self-soothing. | ||
| I think he might just be like, I need to get off air for a little while. | ||
| I'm frustrated, or it's buying some time, or whatever. | ||
| A little calm A, a little calm B. Maybe, but it does seem weird that the way he's presenting it is, I'm really mad right now, I need to feel better by watching this Vendetta clip. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because that seems like a very, I don't know, childish process. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Because then the... | ||
| Because you've raised the possibility of two things. | ||
| Either he is doing this, or he wants people to think he's doing that, which is crazy! | ||
| Or he thinks it's the most sensible explanation. | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| Which is weird. | ||
| I would prefer people think that I was sitting here with a pacifier in my mouth than them think that I was going into the back room to take a gigantic swig of whiskey. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Which is fair! | ||
| Or Tito's. | ||
| It could be. | ||
| So, uh... | ||
| Alex comes back feeling better, but not really. | ||
| I'm going to drill into those articles. | ||
| I'm going to drill into Trump winning so big in South Carolina and the response to that. | ||
| Why it's so historical that he got double the amount of votes anybody ever got in a primary. | ||
| Double what he got in 2000. | ||
| Double what he got in 2016. | ||
| I mean, this is wild. | ||
| And so much more. | ||
| And then we've been investigating... | ||
| Clearly the algorithmic throttling and censorship at X that's intensifying. | ||
| Oh, man, still mad. | ||
| So it is true that Trump got way more votes in the South Carolina primary than he did in 2016. | ||
| In fairness, in that race, there were five other candidates, two of them being fairly violent. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| And this is definitely not the most votes anyone has ever gotten in a primary. | ||
| That's ridiculous. | ||
| Trump got a little over 450,000 votes in the state, whereas people in the California primary generally get over 2 million. | ||
| I guess if Alex met the most votes in a South Carolina primary, that might be true. | ||
| But it's not necessarily as huge of news as he's making this out to seem. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Setting records. | |
| but it is a lot but that's also because of the circumstances we're in it's a one-on-one race with someone who's you know | ||
| I'm fascinated by what I read about this because it seems like so many people who write about this are ignoring one very obvious thing about polls that we're talking about right now, which is that a large amount of people are voting with the intent of the person they're voting for hurting other people. | ||
| Like, they're voting for hurt. | ||
| They're voting for, I want this person to hurt others. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's a bad motivation. | ||
| True. | ||
| What policy are... | ||
| Like, okay, Trump is going to be more like a 27% progressive tax? | ||
| Like, no. | ||
| No, he's going to hurt people at the border. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| He's going to hurt people in the government. | ||
| Yeah, but... | ||
| He's going to hurt people. | ||
| But people who have the attraction to these policies that are going to just hurt people have rationalizations around them. | ||
| Like... | ||
| Sure. | ||
| He's going to hurt immigrants. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Certainly, but they've rationalized that there is an invasion of the country, and so what Trump is doing is not hurting immigrants, he's helping the country and saving it from an invasion. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| So it's not, you know, there's ways to talk yourself into it not being about hurting. | ||
| Oh, I'm not talking about them. | ||
| I'm talking about the other side. | ||
| Like, I don't understand why people aren't looking at that and going, ooh, a lot of the people who live here... | ||
| Want to physically hurt me. | ||
| I think people might be looking at it that way. | ||
| I feel like it's not quite engendering a serious response. | ||
| I think people are having a response. | ||
| Maybe it's not as strong as you would like it to be, but I think there's a response. | ||
| I was going to get it hurt. | ||
| So, someone at Twitter. | ||
| BannedBanned.Video, which again is in the name. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So it seems appropriate. | ||
| It is. | ||
| If I saw Banned.Video, I'd be like, ban that shit. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it's asking me to ban it, thereby giving it value. | ||
| Yeah, but Musk needs to fix this shit. | ||
| Go to MadMaxWorld.TV and those links when you send them out of whatever live feed or video you're finding will work on X, which is important in the info war. | ||
| We created that because before Banned.Video was banned everywhere, but especially on Twitter. | ||
| Once Musk let me back on, for three months or so, it worked. | ||
| Now it doesn't work again. | ||
| So did somebody go in there and flip some switches? | ||
| Did it happen under Elon Musk order? | ||
| So we know that's going on. | ||
| And so we're just starting to look into this more. | ||
| What exactly is that? | ||
| And I'm not going to go off half-cocked. | ||
| But if... | ||
| Elon Musk doesn't give a reason why Bandot Video's been banned, or if he doesn't fix it, he doesn't have to make a statement, obviously. | ||
| And I know some of the high-level people at X, whenever I was unable to get turned back on for Spaces, and I had to do that interview with Elon Musk on Chase Geyser's account, he said, yeah, there's a lot of stuff on the back end that's got to be fixed, a lot of links that have got to be done, the censorship's baked into the thing. | ||
| Basically, he said Twitter's, he didn't say basically, he said... | ||
| Twitter was a crime scene. | ||
| And so I'm still trying to fix all the code they put in there to control things that mess things up. | ||
| And I tend to think that's the case. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Because why would he go do all that and then allow it to be reversed? | ||
| I think somebody's game in the system. | ||
| But you can say, well, a bunch of bots went and flagged your show last night. | ||
| That's why it was pulled down last night. | ||
| Okay, well, did bots ban dot video? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| That was done deliberately inside. | ||
| So we have one case of incredible censorship going against what Elon Musk said that's happening. | ||
| So Elon needs to fix that. | ||
| And I'm not going to make a big deal about it if suddenly Bandai video gets turned back on. | ||
| We know it was a glitch or something. | ||
| But if it just stays like that, I'm going to be like, hey, dude, what's going on, man? | ||
| Oh, that's harsh. | ||
| Hey, dude, what's going on, man? | ||
| Bruh! | ||
| Bro! | ||
| I think that what's going on is Alex is making a demand of Musk, and he's creating a scenario wherein he can have a personal complaint to base some kind of breaking with. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But the alternative is also pretty attractive, which is Musk does what Alex wants, and then he has basically made the owner of the site subservient to his whims. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so that's, you know, it's a win-win for Alex, really. | ||
| It's like a pin in chess, you know? | ||
| Doesn't matter what you do, I'm gonna take one of your pieces. | ||
| Yeah, he can not respond, and Alex... | ||
| Perfect! | ||
| You're done! | ||
| He can respond? | ||
| I hate you, you evil monster! | ||
| Or at least it can lead down that road. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's an opportunity to... | ||
| Break away from the clearly off-branded, mistaken hero worship of Musk. | ||
| We thought he was a good guy because he took over Twitter, but it turns out he was a globalist. | ||
| So, um, Jacob Rothschild, dead. | ||
| And Alex plays, I have to apologize in advance for the audio of this clip. | ||
| It is unlistenable. | ||
| But Alex remembers that Luke Radowski from We Are Change and Tim Pool's co-host now, he, at one point in history, confronted Jacob Rothschild. | ||
| And so Alex plays a clip of that, and it sounds like shit. | ||
| Here's Luke Radowski, this is like eight years ago, who's done the best peaceful, friendly, professional confrontations with globalists I've ever seen. | ||
| In front of like 300 plus of them? | ||
| Try to get Luke on the next few days. | ||
| In front of Henry Kissinger a whole bunch of times. | ||
| He's in front of basically anybody who's anybody in the New World Order. | ||
| Here he is talking to the head of the Rothschild dynasty. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. Rothschild, how are you doing, sir? | |
| Can you tell us what went on at the Bilderberg meeting this year? | ||
| Sorry? | ||
| Can you tell us what went on at the Bilderberg meeting this year? | ||
| I didn't get that, actually, no. | ||
| At the Bilderberg, you were there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| I'm a million years old! | ||
| No, I wasn't there, I was there. | ||
| I think that was my cousin. | ||
| Your cousin was there? | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Do you have a couple of minutes for us, Mr. Lusher? | ||
| We'll have a few of those questions. | ||
| I was definitely talking inside of it, because I was thinking about the Federal Reserve, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Reserve. | ||
| This is on the nose. | ||
| As far as, like, conspiracy basis goes. | ||
| I was thinking it was my cousin. | ||
| See? | ||
| Well, that proves everything we need to know. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I mean, the questions that are being asked are, what happened at Bilderberg? | ||
| I wasn't there. | ||
| Wasn't there. | ||
| What about last year? | ||
| Wasn't there either. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe my cousin wasn't. | |
| Just completely unlistenable. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| You can't make out anything that anybody's saying. | ||
| But it's in that chunk that the most important stuff happened. | ||
| Of course it did. | ||
| So, actually, that's not true. | ||
| The most important thing, as it turns out, from Alex's telling of this, is that he gave Luke a look. | ||
| He gave him a look. | ||
| And we're going to hear Alex talk about that look here. | ||
| Let's hear back a look. | ||
| He actually did a big BBC interview. | ||
| It was more than ten years ago. | ||
| He admitted to founding Israel, or his dad. | ||
| He admitted to the Napoleonic Wars. | ||
| Can you admit to those? | ||
| That they did the run on the bank in 1815 after the Battle of Waterloo claiming Napoleon won, caused the bank to crash. | ||
| They bought a 98% stock market, literally. | ||
| So they were already the most powerful force in the British Empire. | ||
| Then they used an artificial crash they instituted to get control of it. | ||
| They brag about that. | ||
| That's in... | ||
| Mainline history books. | ||
| I think they should brag about that if they pulled it off. | ||
| But go to about the last five, ten seconds where he gives Luke a look, a real Rothschild look, just for a second. | ||
| And he's acting real friendly and gentlemanly, but just for a minute, you see the demon. | ||
| He just, for a minute, like, oh, you see me, sonny boy. | ||
| You see who I am, and it's because Luke was polite. | ||
| But he also said perfectly, you have no legitimacy. | ||
| And free humanity rejects what you're doing, and we will stop you. | ||
| And Robson goes, what? | ||
| Because they've lived in this world, these globalists, where they get to do all this stuff to us, and then they have the media say they don't exist. | ||
| You finally say, listen, I'm calling you out. | ||
| I have a damn right to live. | ||
| I don't want to be under your control. | ||
| And he's like, wait a minute, let me get a closer look at you. | ||
| Let me, right here. | ||
| Mmm. | ||
| Yeah, a few frames further. | ||
| Are we doing frame by frame video? | ||
| Right there. | ||
| To see when a look of true demonic presence happened? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Right there. | ||
| Right there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cool, cool, cool. | |
| He's like, oh, you got me. | ||
| So this is the level of shit we're dealing with here. | ||
| Jacob Rothschild gave Luke Radowski a quizzical look for a split second, and Alex has decided to write a story about how they prove there's a demon inside him. | ||
| Utter garbage. | ||
| And for what it's worth, Jacob Rothschild never admitted to the Napoleon Bank thing, because that's an anti-Semitic fiction that traces back to Nazi propaganda and a bigot pamphleteer who went by the pen name Satan. | ||
| It's not true, so there's nothing to admit to. | ||
| Alex is not exaggerating here, he's just lying. | ||
| As for the founding of Israel thing, Alex... | ||
| I was thinking of Edmund James de Rothschild who wasn't Jacob's father. | ||
| Edmund was from the French branch of the family whereas Jacob's dad Victor Rothschild was from England. | ||
| Edmund and Jacob are related through Mayor Amschel Rothschild, who's Edmund's grandfather, and Jacob's great-great-great-great-grandfather, so I have no idea what their familial term would even be. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Eighth cousin, twice removed or something? | ||
| Not related. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| They're technically related, but it's distant-ish. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| So they're all Rothschilds, though, to Alex. | ||
| It's all one big thing. | ||
| It's a load of shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Load of shit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| Boy. | ||
| But he gave him a look. | ||
| If... | ||
| If... | ||
| He caught him in that split second, that frame. | ||
| If what we're dealing with, spiritually speaking, is that demons go all Constantine on you, if you're polite... | ||
| If that's where we're at in this world, I'm out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm out! | |
| Pass! | ||
| It is kind of in line with, like, an exorcism. | ||
| You know, like, he's basically saying that Luke Gradescu is polite and evoked. | ||
| The power of Christ compels you, and therefore you must show yourself to me. | ||
| It's a double Cain situation with a demon. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| You said the magic word. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| No, I mean, I don't know what to tell you. | ||
| If that's what you've got... | ||
| That is what he's got. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| That's what he's got. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| You said it's fine. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| That's what you get. | ||
| So one thing you might notice is that also Jacob Rothschild is a baron. | ||
| A baron to Rothschild. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And so Alex talks about that here. | ||
| By the way, for those that don't know, a baron is like the third in charge. | ||
| So he's the fourth baron of Rothschild. | ||
| Forrest Baron. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Forrest Baron. | |
| Okay. | ||
| It still took him a couple decades after 1815 to get that. | ||
| What? | ||
| So... | ||
| That's because he wants the legitimacy. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| So in 1846, Anthony Rothschild was made a baron by the Queen. | ||
| That same day, two other people were given the title, Henry Robert Ferguson Davey and Frederick Curie Esquire. | ||
| Anthony had no male heirs, so the title was passed down to his nephew, who was Nathan Rothschild. | ||
| Keep in mind, this is not the Nathan Mayer Rothschild, who's the guy that Alex thinks took over the stock market with the Napoleon trick. | ||
| That's this guy's grandson. | ||
| Who becomes the Baron. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Nathan Rothschild got the Baron title, and he's Jacob's great-grandfather, so it passed down the line to him. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Barons are not the third in charge. | ||
| Alex is just exploiting the fact that this audience has no idea what any of these things mean, and they're just blindly trusting the shit that Alex makes up so he can sound smart. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There are five titles of peerage for males in the United Kingdom. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Top to bottom, there's Duke, Marquise, Earl, Viscount, and Baron. | ||
| The baron is the lowest in this scheme. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| There is so many fucking barons, too. | ||
| Man. | ||
| It's a third in charge. | ||
| You know, a lot of people have ragged on feudalism for a long time, but now that we know how many barons there are, I think we should bring it back! | ||
| Give me a fief! | ||
| And now, if you even include, like... | ||
| Knights! | ||
| Sure! | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely! | ||
| They're a little bit above Knights. | ||
| Give me a GCBGE or whatever it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| So yeah, Alex is a little bit off about this Barron thing. | ||
| Third in charge. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Man. | |
| Fuck out of here. | ||
| Okay, let me throw this out at you, okay? | ||
| If you're a Luke Radowski type, you're fighting against the globalists. | ||
| But if you've been around 300-plus confrontations with globalists... | ||
| And multiple with Kissinger, which have clearly been very fruitful. | ||
| Then you work for them, right? | ||
| There's no way you don't work for them. | ||
| You are in some way their stooge. | ||
| You're doing opposition PR. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Because if you're at all a threat, then you get maybe two or three. | ||
| Like, most people aren't talking to me for a second time. | ||
| Let's put it that way. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Nor Alex. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| But that doesn't mean Alex is a threat either. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nah, that's true. | |
| It means he's more abrasive and annoying. | ||
| That's a little bit both for me. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| And that's how you get the demons. | ||
| So look, speaking of that demon, Alex is really obsessed with this split-second look. | ||
| And what they have is an incredible... | ||
| Disgust for the public. | ||
| An arrogance that is just immeasurable. | ||
| But that look, just keep rolling that last few seconds in a loop so you can see it. | ||
| It's a look of, I can't stand you. | ||
| I hate you. | ||
| You're so pathetic and little. | ||
| Look at you, you pitiful thing. | ||
| You don't have a shot. | ||
| But I'm scared of you. | ||
| That you see what I am and you know what I am. | ||
| Just roll that last part of Luke. | ||
| Just roll that last part over and over again. | ||
| Because right there is everything you need to see. | ||
| Everything you need to know. | ||
| It's a look that clearly translates to a lot. | ||
| You know, it's a... | ||
| Speech in a moment. | ||
| There's a part of me that is like, okay, when I say this is kind of like evolution, there is a... | ||
| So much of what we see is based on pattern recognition and the fact that we've evolved in such a way as to look at each other and the slightest facial changes are so important to the social survival of the group. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| That now we look up at clouds and we see shapes. | ||
| We look up at things and we see shapes. | ||
| Our brains make these things happen in order to protect us, right? | ||
| Like, Alex... | ||
| Creating such a moment out of one little facial expression and the way he transforms that into a demon. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You apply that to how he looks at a cloud and you're like, it does make sense. | ||
| Like, every guy going, huh? | ||
| Is a demon to him? | ||
| A cloud is insane! | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I think it is illustrative of the way that, you know, obviously, you're right. | ||
| I mean, like, body language and facial expressions are a huge part of communication. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| but Alex is off on how to read them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he's, he's reading all of this stuff. | |
| And, and there is a question, I guess, to how much of it is convenient. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| Broken. | ||
| It's just jacked. | ||
| Is he just a fucked up ape that has a weird little skirt and then that's it? | ||
| I think that that would explain a whole lot of the constantly seeing demons in the grocery store and people's expressions changing to that of a demon and stuff. | ||
| That could explain if he just has... | ||
| No ability to read those social cues and facial expressions and that form of communication. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or if it is all just misinterpreted. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I'm scared less of Alex than I am of just brains. | ||
| Just brains in general. | ||
| Fucking anything can go on up there. | ||
| You mean like Krang? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You don't know? | ||
| He could be in your gut right now. | ||
| He is scary. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's someone who worked at Infowars. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Don't know who it is. | ||
| Could be. | ||
| But this person got sucked in by the Royals. | ||
| Josh Owens? | ||
| No, I don't think so. | ||
| But this one got sucked in by the Royals. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And let me tell you, that whole sycophantic society of the Royals is another thing that compromises so many good people in the UK. | ||
| People we worked with for a long time who were good folks a decade ago got invited into the British circle and hung out with... | ||
| The echelons right beneath the Queen and King Charles. | ||
| Lord Moncton? | ||
| Who is it? | ||
| And just like that, they got sucked into a black hole, never to be effective or do anything good again. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That's how they work. | ||
| Farage? | ||
| No. | ||
| Could be. | ||
| No. | ||
| Now, if we can suck Elon Musk into liberty and get him to fight tyranny. | ||
| Don't say it like that. | ||
| If he wants to join us, then the door is open. | ||
| But make no mistake, I'm not being sucked in by Elon Musk. | ||
| Don't say it like that. | ||
| I'm not entertaining that with the establishment, like David Icke has said. | ||
| And I like David, but I see the good Musk is doing. | ||
| I encourage him to go in the right direction. | ||
| I criticize the bad. | ||
| I support the good. | ||
| But let's make no mistake. | ||
| I'm here to convert people to the pro-human, pro-God destiny. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So Alex is absolutely getting sucked in by Musk. | ||
| What he's doing now is trying to pretend to have a spine because he embarrassed himself with his subservience in the last episode. | ||
| You may notice that Alex is claiming that he's thrilled with the good from Musk and criticizes the bad, but that's not true. | ||
| He's not criticizing the bad, which should be things like Musk's government contracts or his desire to put chips in people. | ||
| Alex is criticizing something really personal, which is his feeling that he's being shadow banned. | ||
| This isn't a real criticism about Musk, anything that he's doing. | ||
| It's really more of a press gambit. | ||
| What Alex is doing is trying to drive traffic to his Twitter and band-od video, while at the same time hoping to provoke a response from Elon. | ||
| If Elon just unblocks Alex's shit, if it's even blocked to begin with, Alex will be able to claim that he has pull with Musk. | ||
| Or even better, maybe the two of them can get into a little fight that nets both of them a bunch of attention. | ||
| The kind of fight where Alex is totally sincere about his complaint that he yells about for a really long time, then drops it really fast once his target gives him the attention that he craves. | ||
| We've seen that happen. | ||
| I mean, any moment now he's going to gut Joe Rogan like a pig. | ||
| He promised in the past. | ||
| Well, that dropped whenever he got rebooked. | ||
| So I'm super curious, though, which one of Alex's buddies got sucked in by the Royals. | ||
| I definitely don't believe it. | ||
| Unless what Alex means is that someone who worked there became a big fan of the Kansas City Royals. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And that might be... | ||
| They had a couple of good years. | ||
| True. | ||
| Was that about ten years ago? | ||
| Um... | ||
| It was about ten years ago. | ||
| Might be. | ||
| Might be what happened. | ||
| Could be what happened, yeah. | ||
| So Alex has a belief that is incorrect, and that is that he doesn't censor on his sites, which is not true. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| But, yeah, he goes from there to deeply unconfirmed territory. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Now, we've had issues, because we're a small company, compared to something like X or Google or Facebook. | ||
| And so we would have glitches and problems and things on band-out video, and people would think we were censoring them. | ||
| Or members that we have on there had trouble uploading. | ||
| I'd see them complaining, and I'd later find out, oh, it crashed, we had problems. | ||
| It's been a hassle. | ||
| It runs pretty good, but it's had some problems. | ||
| So I understand that there can be other things going on, so I'm giving it most of the benefit of the doubt. | ||
| Watching obvious squeezing going on in the last few months that's intensified. | ||
| We're following all their rules. | ||
| They're not hard to follow because we never did any things that they claimed we did before. | ||
| We're not threatening anybody. | ||
| We're not showing porn. | ||
| We're not doing any illegal things. | ||
| And Musk said he was trying to go back to that system that was there before. | ||
| Showing porn? | ||
| Before six, seven years ago. | ||
| So that's a good thing. | ||
| So we're still here watching it. | ||
| But I had a feeling last night when Dan Bongino showed some of the secret document about not just surveillance, but harassment. | ||
| And this goes back to 2016 when President Trump was president-elect. | ||
| We know Obama put in these stay-behind networks. | ||
| Part of it was declassified. | ||
| He had to sign the legislation in the Defense Authorization Act before Trump got in to put it in place. | ||
| So that's why a lot of this is public. | ||
| Kind of old vestiges of the old republic where things had to be transparent. | ||
| We knew about it. | ||
| But here's Bongino explaining what's going on or how we're being bumped or harassed or terrorized. | ||
| And I had a feeling when I did that last night, they'd probably censor it, and they did. | ||
| So I think if you look at all the evidence, it was a lot of the deep staters activating their bot armies and things. | ||
| Anytime we criticize NATO or anything, it's up to you. | ||
| I see some of the throttling back as well. | ||
| But here's the clip with Bongino. | ||
| And again, Bongino used to come on all the time. | ||
| We need him to come on and obviously talk about this document, talk about more of it. | ||
| And I'll be perturbed if he doesn't come on, but we've reached out, so that's an open call right there that he should come on. | ||
| I don't think you're going to hear back. | ||
| So you got this now. | ||
| The story is developed into, we covered this Bongino thing, and obviously the deep state is attacking us for it, which raises the question of why is Bongino not, and then secondarily, what about the ban.video being banned? | ||
| That doesn't help with that at all. | ||
| So we still have some confusion with the narrative, but Alex has decided that this is the path that we're going to ascribe this part of the censorship to because it works. | ||
| It makes this seem like much more dangerous information. | ||
| It creates a whole new sort of side narrative out of this. | ||
| And, yeah, cool. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, the only thing that I say is a good, like, add-on, I would add this. | ||
| Make a new site. | ||
| Called Bongino.video. | ||
| Only play that clip. | ||
| Bandgino. | ||
| Bandgino.video. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| I think it could stick. | ||
| If it portmanteaus, it goes. | ||
| That's what they say. | ||
| So Alex gives Elon Musk a time frame under which he must respond. | ||
| He must respond. | ||
| There's a lot of monkey business going on, not just starting last night. | ||
| And of course, we have proof. | ||
| Band.video, which was banned for years on Twitter. | ||
| Was brought back as soon as Musk freed us up three, four months ago. | ||
| Now, banned out video is banned again. | ||
| So if somebody went in there and blocked that, Elon Musk either needs to behind the scenes restore it, or if he'd like to make a statement of why he's done this, then I'll listen to him. | ||
| But this is a big deal. | ||
| We're a big story. | ||
| We're a big news outlet. | ||
| And I've really supported what he's done so far. | ||
| But I've got some numbers I can call to get messages to Musk. | ||
| I'm going to do that after the show today. | ||
| And I'll give him a week or so. | ||
| I know he's a busy guy, but I think he needs to respond to this, Jason. | ||
| Yeah, I absolutely agree. | ||
| He's got a week to respond. | ||
| Also, Chase Geyser's in the studio hanging out now. | ||
| I like a good week deadline. | ||
| I like a good week ultimatum. | ||
| But he makes them pretty regularly and then never sticks to them. | ||
| There is that. | ||
| He gave the people who are behind Q a week to reveal themselves before he does that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I recall them. | |
| He's going to expose everything and that never happened. | ||
| He almost did. | ||
| It happens a bit. | ||
| These ultimatums just go... | ||
| I mean, it is very similar to a lot of geopolitical things with red lines. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| Sometimes they don't fully materialize. | ||
| Yeah, we used to think that it was wrong to hurt people, but apparently that's not a bad thing for governments. | ||
| But that's where Alex is. | ||
| He's weak. | ||
| And we're not a week past the 26th, so this time hasn't passed yet. | ||
| I don't know what has happened. | ||
| I don't know if Musk is... | ||
| Really trying to craft the perfect response. | ||
| Really sitting with a team of writers and lawyers, trying to come up with, ooh, how are we going to respond to Alex? | ||
| What do you think his statement would be? | ||
| In Alex's mind, alright? | ||
| Here's what his statement would be. | ||
| What the fuck are you talking about? | ||
| Alright, but Alex's mind statement. | ||
| So Alex is thinking, if he comes out with a statement, which is him at a podium doing the thing. | ||
| Here's what I think Alex thinks. | ||
| There isn't going to be a statement, but he'll just give Alex what he wants. | ||
| That's what I think Alex is thinking. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| There'll be a quiet, under the rug, oh, here, we fixed it. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| Or whatever, and then blame it on some kind of rogue actor who was there. | ||
| That's what I think Alex thinks is going to happen. | ||
| So Chase Geyser is sitting in because he's a tech expert. | ||
| I'm sorry? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So Alex explains his ideal solution. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Even he himself admitted that his own account was censored from trending because they had some algorithm in place where if an account had been reported any number of times, any minimum number of times, then it automatically would remove it from trending. | ||
| And that's why he intelligently defaulted himself out of it. | ||
| He just needs to default a certain list of targeted accounts. | ||
| From the regular algorithm kicking in. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I shouldn't interrupt you. | ||
| That's the key to this. | ||
| That's the key to this. | ||
| Just give me free reign. | ||
| Let me do whatever I want. | ||
| If people complain about me, ignore it. | ||
| Can you get more 2020, 2024 version of some are more equal than others? | ||
| Can you get more? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just put me on a list of people who can do whatever they want. | |
| Right. | ||
| As opposed to the people who can't, that are not famous. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Duh! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, that's amazing. | ||
| It's a good solution for Alex. | ||
| That is, of all the things for your JBS ass bullshit to lead to, you being like, hey, I'm gonna say this shit unironically. | ||
| I demand special treatment because I'm a whiny boy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep, yep. | |
| So, Chase Geyser loves Musk. | ||
| And it turns out he has a rationale for that. | ||
| Not only is it difficult for me to think of a single thing that he's actually done throughout his career that I disagree with, but you have to look at these figures from the standpoint of, okay, who hates them? | ||
| Just like you said, Alex. | ||
| And that's one of the reasons why I'm voting for Donald Trump. | ||
| It's not because I agree with everything that he ever did or said, but it's because all of the world's supervillains hate him. | ||
| So he must be our best shot if he is most hated by the enemy. | ||
| I think the same is true for Musk. | ||
| In the tech startup world, it wasn't only these lawsuits, but also the subsidies that were pulled. | ||
| So that strategy of who my supervillains are against is a little bit of a bad strategy, kind of is a good way to talk yourself into supporting ISIS. | ||
| Or all of Alex's supervillains and shit would have really been against Hitler. | ||
| In World War II. | ||
| So, I mean, it's a good way to talk yourself into some bad conclusions about people. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| So in December, Tesla announced that the tax credit that you would get for buying a Tesla Model 3S was going to go away. | ||
| Previously, you got a substantial credit because it was an electric vehicle. | ||
| However, the Biden administration made a new rule that vehicles would not be eligible for this credit if they were, quote, Well, I mean, if... | ||
| Your big bad is China. | ||
| And your god king is... | ||
| Man, these people just... | ||
| I can't do it. | ||
| I just can't do it. | ||
| How do you do this? | ||
| How do you do this? | ||
| How do you support Elon? | ||
| I don't even know how to get into the mind of somebody who's not insane! | ||
| Because he likes everything that he's ever done in his career. | ||
| Can't think of anything he's opposed to. | ||
| That's an insane thing to say! | ||
| It is. | ||
| That's an insane thing to say that makes me concerned. | ||
| But this is Chase Geyser. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I'm concerned. | ||
| You're not applying the geyser standard. | ||
| I'm so concerned. | ||
| I'm concerned. | ||
| So look, Bongino came out with this document, but he didn't. | ||
| And Alex got censored for it, but he didn't. | ||
| Didn't. | ||
| And in this document, they talk about bumping. | ||
| You gotta get bumped. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Like sharks, whenever they give you a little bump, and then that's how you know. | ||
| Or when you're booked on a comedy show, and someone more famous shows up, you get bumped. | ||
| Yeah, that's happened. | ||
| So Alex talks about a situation where he got bumped. | ||
| And it turns out, I don't know if this is true. | ||
| One time, I'm packing my bags, leaving Trump Hotel, just gone and confronted Congress, and just confronted Rubio, like two hours before, and I'm literally eating a hamburger in the bar area, because that's all that was open, and in comes this person, well-known person, and they're like... | ||
| Hey, this company, the Internet Research Group, the Russians wants to give me $3 million right now. | ||
| No question to that. | ||
| It's all legal. | ||
| Just sign this document. | ||
| It's all legal. | ||
| I think legal people say. | ||
| No way. | ||
| I'm an American citizen. | ||
| Get out of here. | ||
| I'm going to report this. | ||
| The person got really freaked out and ran off. | ||
| But that's how bad this is, folks. | ||
| And a bunch of other stuff happened, too. | ||
| You know, just a few months ago, they put an MI6 group. | ||
| Out of Dubai, on us. | ||
| They don't want me to get into all of it, but we report it to the FBI as well. | ||
| MI6 Group, out of Dubai. | ||
| Well, the FBI, they're corrupt. | ||
| Yeah, we go to them and say, cut your ass in the cookie jar, leave us alone. | ||
| And of course it's... | ||
| Obviously, it wasn't the local Austin FBI running this. | ||
| It's run out of D.C. Obviously. | ||
| Obviously. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I don't know if I believe that. | ||
| But Alex is claiming that he turned down $3 million from the Internet Research Agency. | ||
| Not group. | ||
| He has the name wrong. | ||
| But this is interesting. | ||
| Because that's an online propaganda organization associated with the head of the Wagner group, Yevgeny Purgosian. | ||
| I have no... | ||
| True. | ||
| I have no belief that this actually happened, but the real point is that you'd never be able to tell the difference if it had. | ||
| It's indistinguishable. | ||
| Alex is totally in sync with their line about the war in Ukraine, and he's even aired a recruitment video put out by the Wagner Group multiple times. | ||
| I don't think that anyone working in espionage like this would feel the need to try to bribe Alex, since he does the job for free, and he's clearly not someone you can trust. | ||
| Yeah, all you'd do is just be like, hey, you're doing a great job and we love you, and Putin loves you, and... | ||
| Trojan loves you, and well, I mean, not anymore, because, you know. | ||
| Yeah, that's all you'd need to do. | ||
| You'd never want to give him money. | ||
| Why would you create a conspiracy with the conspiracy guy? | ||
| I mean, insane. | ||
| And just the idea of Alex, because... | ||
| He got bumped. | ||
| Because, of course, Alex is going to create the character who is like, hey, here you go, three million, it's in a briefcase, all legal. | ||
| It's all legal. | ||
| Are you sure it's legal? | ||
| Whoa, you're onto me! | ||
| And then he's running away. | ||
| That is the character that Alex creates. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I do wonder who he's pretending that is. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Someone at Trump Hotel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Probably. | |
| At that time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Obviously. | ||
| Maybe a waiter. | ||
| A well-known figure. | ||
| No, it can't be a waiter. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He said it's someone well-known. | ||
| That's true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| Trump? | ||
| Who's the most well-known waiter? | ||
| I think it was Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| So Alex has a guest on in the third hour, and I just said, no, thank you. | ||
| Well, he's a popular guest. | ||
| He's Dr. Kirk Elliott. | ||
| He's back in studio with us from Colorado visiting. | ||
| We really are glad he's here with us. | ||
| He did an hour and a half with us a month ago, and people really loved it. | ||
| It informed a lot of people. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| This is his gold sponsor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So he's doing an hour with his gold sponsor at the end of the show. | ||
| It's just a... | ||
| Infomercial, basically. | ||
| So I wanted to nail down a little bit more about what happened with this Musk story. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And so Alex revisits this on the 28th. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because there had been some media coverage of his comments from the episode that we just listened to. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And so here is Alex responding. | ||
| Okay, this is our postscript. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Gotcha. | ||
| This is from the 28th. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gotcha. | |
| And Alex is responding to news coverage about his comments. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| This is a great example of the Soros-funded media, and it's on record that Raw Story and BuzzFeed and those other groups, Vice, you name it, are funded by Soros. | ||
| And they're propped up to put out fake news and incredible deception. | ||
| So this story came out yesterday and was trending on Twitter. | ||
| Alex Jones calls Elon Musk a complete and total fraud. | ||
| Turns on Elon Musk after he's massively censored. | ||
| Now, I never called him a complete and total fraud. | ||
| I said Google is a complete and total fraud. | ||
| So Alex is entirely wrong about this story. | ||
| This Raw Story article makes it clear that he was calling Google a complete and total fraud, as we heard in the clips we were listening to earlier. | ||
| If you actually read the story, it's clear that that's what he's saying. | ||
| However, if you only rely on headlines, then you might come away with a false perspective on the article. | ||
| The headline is, quote, complete and total fraud. | ||
| Alex turns on Elon Musk after he's massively censored. | ||
| I'll be totally clear, I think this is a bullshit headline for a number of reasons. | ||
| First off, it's sensational and clickbait in the way that it's written, because it does imply that Alex called Musk a complete and total fraud. | ||
| If you think that it doesn't, then you are being obtuse. | ||
| It's misleading that way, and anyone posting this would understand how someone is going to read the headline, and you'd know that. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| Second, it's not totally fair to say that Alex turned on Musk. | ||
| I guess that's kind of true, but it's an over... | ||
| He's trying to course correct from his absurd support for Musk that got a lot of pushback from the audience, and he's trying to turn that into an opportunity for him to harvest attention. | ||
| In that sense, this article was giving him exactly what he wanted. | ||
| Oh! | ||
| There's a sort of mainstream article about him. | ||
| This raises the odds that Musk will take notice and respond in some way, and now Alex gets to go on his show and insist that the media is lying about him. | ||
| They're not, but this headline kind of makes it look like they are, and with bullshit artists like Alex, that's all that really matters. | ||
| The optics of this are good. | ||
| Cue the circle of life. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, it turns out that this did prompt... | ||
| A response from Elon Musk on Twitter. | ||
| And so now Alex discusses the back and forth that happened on Twitter. | ||
| This is news. | ||
| I hate everybody. | ||
| And so Elon responded last night in a tweet, a post on X, and said, what is it that Alex Jones is complaining about? | ||
| And I had just gotten home from a church meeting I went to. | ||
| Give me more details. | ||
| Don't get to the meat of the story. | ||
| Tuesday night church service. | ||
| Tell me more about it. | ||
| With my oldest daughter. | ||
| Oh yeah? | ||
| What's she doing? | ||
| How's school? | ||
| I was getting calls on the way home. | ||
| Hey, Elon Musk is X-ing. | ||
| Not on ecstasy, but on a site. | ||
| Posting on X. Also on ecstasy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And asking what the problem is. | ||
| So I don't want to text while I drive. | ||
| So I pulled over into a gas station. | ||
| About 9 o 'clock. | ||
| Do I need to know this? | ||
| Went and read the Ross story. | ||
| Called up Chase Geyser, who's a real go-getter. | ||
| Geyser. | ||
| And said, hey, will you go grab that clip? | ||
| And will you post this, what I actually said? | ||
| And then will you respond? | ||
| And I dictated real quick to him what I wanted him to say. | ||
| And then within 10 minutes, the guy's like a speed racer. | ||
| He already had it up. | ||
| That's too long to type! | ||
| And then Elon said, well, there's your fake news. | ||
| And then they put a community notes on the raw story saying, Fake news, which is the strongest condemnation that they do. | ||
| So they've got a humiliating amount of egg on their face. | ||
| But nice, nice try, guys. | ||
| Chase Geyser is becoming more and more important, it turns out. | ||
| I think he's ascendant at InfoWars. | ||
| Wormtonguing it, I think, is what's going on here. | ||
| So I just, while I was preparing this episode today, I went and checked the Raw Story post about this, and there is no community note on it calling it fake news. | ||
| In the replies, though, you can find Chase Geyser reporting it to community notes, just begging for censorship, calling the hall monitor over. | ||
| The Raw Story is not, strictly speaking, fake news. | ||
| It's a correct story with a bullshit... | ||
| Alex understands all about writing bullshit misleading headlines, so he's not really in a position to judge here. | ||
| But if Alex really wants to make some hay here, he should complain about the Uproxx story covering the Raw Story article. | ||
| That one definitely did say that Alex called Twitter a complete and total fraud, with their headline being, quote, even Alex Jones thinks X is a complete and total fraud since it was bought by Elon Musk. | ||
| They misrepresented the Raw Story article in exactly the way the headline was at risk of people misinterpreting it, and it's just a pointless article. | ||
| It's not covering Alex's comments, it's a blog post covering Raw Story's blog post about Alex's comments, and the game of telephone isn't good for anyone in terms of actually getting at what was actually said and dealing with it. | ||
| It's causing harm to information being disseminated as opposed to the alternative. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, if there was one thing that I hoped would have happened by now, it would be the realization on the media's part that Alex turns them into Alex. | ||
| Like, everything that every time they try... | ||
| They're dumbasses to cover this. | ||
| They wind up doing something that Alex does and revealing themselves to be idiots. | ||
| Yeah, not every time, but it is at a high risk. | ||
| More often than not. | ||
| It's wise to exercise caution and not play clickbait games whenever you're covering Alex because it will be used to his advantage. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, just the number of times that somebody should have gone, well, this is too easy. | ||
| I mean, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Too easy. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| That word too is there to warn you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Alex is talking about this Raw Story article, and he's accusing people of going off half-cocked. | ||
| And he relates it to something else that I think is not applicable. | ||
| We wrote an article about it at Infowars.com last night. | ||
| Ben Warren worked late to get that done, did a great job. | ||
| We wrote another one this morning, Kelly McBrain did. | ||
| Fake News 101, media falsely claims Alex Jones called Elon Musk a fraud. | ||
| And it chronicles it and has all the screenshots if you want to see it. | ||
| So that's a great example of people going off half-cocked. | ||
| Here's another one. | ||
| Because this became a big story on X and got picked up by news, and we talked to Bongino, my producer, this morning, and he said he's had 50 calls this morning. | ||
| Hundreds of emails, you name it. | ||
| Former Secret Service, senior Secret Service agent, whistleblower. | ||
| And he called my producer back and said, listen, I'm not talking about the story anymore. | ||
| My source is already scared to death for their life. | ||
| And I can't give Alex any more information. | ||
| And will you just please tell people, stop contacting me. | ||
| Weird. | ||
| So I get it. | ||
| He's a busy guy. | ||
| He's got the stuff going on he's doing. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| But the internet turned this into a fight between me and Bongino. | ||
| Bongino breaks a story from a high-level source inside the intelligence agencies about a lot of which has been declassified, that I was on a list of 26 people, including President Trump, to be harassed. | ||
| Of course Bongino doesn't want to talk more about this. | ||
| He was just talking shit on his show, and now Alex has turned it into him releasing a page from a classified document which he's planning to release the rest of soon. | ||
| There was no document, and Alex has entirely misreported this story because the fake version is more exciting and makes him look like more of a victim. | ||
| So, here's the long and short of this, according to Alex. | ||
| Dan Bongino used to come on Infowars a bunch, which is fairly true. | ||
| I'm not sure he was ever a super regular guest, but he was on from time to time. | ||
| Back then, Bongino was a no-name guy whose only claim to fame was that he used to be in the Secret Service protecting Obama. | ||
| He parlayed that into a little right-wing media career, and it led to him getting Alex's attention. | ||
| At that time, as is the case in the present day, Alex would embellish things that primary sources would say, and this applied to Bongino. | ||
| Alex would come up with completely absurd things the Secret Service people were claiming about Obama and not use Bongino's name, but everyone would put two and two together and realize that was what Alex was trying to imply. | ||
| According to Alex, Bongino confronted Alex multiple times, asking if he was claiming Dan as a source, and Alex would deny it, saying things like, you think you're the only person in the government I know? | ||
| Like he does in this clip. | ||
| I still don't know why Bongino, years ago, repeatedly called me, and I talked to him also off-air once during an interview, and said, hey man, is it you? | ||
| You know, that New York tough guy deal. | ||
| And he is a tough guy. | ||
| I'm not saying that New York tough guy thing. | ||
| Hey man, is it you telling people you're getting your stuff from me? | ||
| And I said, no. | ||
| What, you think you're the only person I know in the government? | ||
| So at some point a while back, Bongino had had enough of it and he stopped coming on the show. | ||
| Now, Alex is doing the same shit. | ||
| He's taken a small snippet of Bongino's show where he shows a Microsoft Word-ass image of a list of names he claims a source told him were to be bumped, and Alex has reported this as Bongino releasing a page of a classified document and the rest is coming soon. | ||
| Bongino is full of shit and I don't really care about him at all, but I can understand how he would be pretty pissed about this whole thing. | ||
| Alex is trying to hijack his story and take ownership of it away from Bongino, which is kind of ironic since Bongino is just trying to hijack the story from Michael Schellenberger and... | ||
| Matt Taibbi. | ||
| But, like, you take control away from Bongino, and now, if Bongino doesn't produce a classified document, Alex's audience is going to think that Bongino's covering this up. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| There's a real difficulty that this introduces, the way that Alex is hijacking. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I mean, I have limited sympathy, you know? | ||
| True. | ||
| You know, like, when Ed Norton steals all the money from Mark Wahlberg in that one movie, you know, with Charlize Theron. | ||
| I was like, hey, guess what? | ||
| Shouldn't have been a thief. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| What do you expect? | ||
| I totally understand the limited sympathy, and I'm not trying to be like, woe is Bongino. | ||
| But I am saying that understanding this dynamic, I get where Bongino would be mad at Alex. | ||
| That's more my point than to be like, I feel bad for him. | ||
| I do kind of feel bad for him because there's probably, based on what Alex is saying, seems like a lot of Alex's audience is probably contacting Bongino and being like, hey, where's the rest of this shit? | ||
| Yeah, but see, Here's the thing. | ||
| It's annoying. | ||
| Mark Wahlberg and Charlize Theron got together, stole it back. | ||
| Bongino's just whining! | ||
| All these people whine! | ||
| Well, he's whining privately, apparently. | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| So it appears that Bongino reached out to Alex to say he doesn't want to come on and doesn't want to talk more about this story that Alex is misrepresenting, and that jogged Alex's memory about why Bongino doesn't come on the show anymore. | ||
| Right. | ||
| What's interesting to me is how this is supposed to be another case of people going off half-cocked. | ||
| Just like the Raw story got wrong about Alex and Musk, that was the case of it. | ||
| This is supposed to be another case of people on Twitter going off half-cocked, saying that Alex and Bongino are beefing. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I do not know. | ||
| So, we end with... | ||
| I'm not sure we have a resolution about the Elon Musk thing. | ||
| Alex has, I guess, gotten a response from Musk in terms of him saying, what's Alex mad about? | ||
| In response to the Raw Story article. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And then Alex is claiming that Musk made the Raw Story article, or the community notes made it, fake news. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| And so I guess that's some kind of a victory, but it doesn't address Alex's main complaints, which are the censorship and him not being able to post ban.video links. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So we don't have any real resolution about that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But we do know, apparently, that he can't post something about a fake version of Dan Bongino's big, breaking, classified document that wasn't. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So that's what's behind the censorship, but it's not, because it predates that. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Okay, now, I don't know if it's real. | ||
| Okay, but is there some sort of way to put Elon Musk... | ||
| And Alex and Dan Bongino into, like, a small mirror-type square and then send them off into space forever next to General Zod. | ||
| No. | ||
| Shit. | ||
| Yeah, I'm sorry. | ||
| Because that would have been a really good solution to all of this. | ||
| The Phantom Zone is probably the best way to go. | ||
| Well, I mean, unfortunately, that is not real. | ||
| But one thing that we can take some solace in the reality that... | ||
| Spiritually, they are in a mirror cube. | ||
| In fact, they have to deal with each other. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| And they seem to be pissing each other off a little bit. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| So that... | ||
| You know, that is kind of an unfortunate fate for anyone to find themselves in. | ||
| Yeah, there is a certain scorpion and toad-ass relationship here. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What did you think I was going to do? | ||
| I'm a fucking scorpion! | ||
| Of course you're part of my conspiracy, dickwad! | ||
| Yeah, you let me back in, and what do you know? | ||
| I found a fucking conspiracy, and it's about you. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Shock. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| Oh, well. | ||
| There is that. | ||
| So, we come to the end of this, and it is an interesting... | ||
| episode that we covered on Wednesday yeah this this gushing defensive I identify with criticisms about musk and it hurts me personally yeah into this and I think that in terms of conspiracy ass shit this is a move in the right direction for Alex right this is him getting where he needs to be that's more sustainable yeah you know defending musk in the long term is not going to work it's going to end up Having too many things you're going to have to wallpaper over. | ||
| And so this is the right thing to do. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You can still pretend that you're like, hey, I think he's doing a lot of great stuff. | ||
| You know, you can still hold on to that a little bit. | ||
| But you need to have a far more critical posture. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And good for Alex coming around on that. | ||
| Good luck sticking to it. | ||
| Because I have a... | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| Well, he shits gold bricks. | ||
| There's too much that's going to lure you back. | ||
| That's kind of the problem with being an addict. | ||
| I don't know if you know this, but a lot of times they make decisions that are negative towards themselves. | ||
| I hope Alex fucks around and gets himself kicked back off Twitter. | ||
| I mean, there's got to be... | ||
| There's no other way this could end! | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's how it's supposed to go! | ||
| I think it's destined. | ||
| Right? | ||
| But we'll see what kind of level of patience Musk has as compared to the people who owned the site before. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it's not patience so much as it is like... | ||
| At what point does this man admit that he's wrong? | ||
| Or at what point does he recognize that the cost is not worth it? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Or come up with some rationalization to make himself not sound like he's saying, I was wrong to let Alex Jones back on, and yet at the same time admit that he was wrong. | ||
| It's so simple. | ||
| I mean, the reason that he said that he wasn't going to let him back on in the first place was the Sandy Hook stuff, and he could just say, I looked into it more, and Alex is lying about what he did about Sandy Hook. | ||
| Not hard. | ||
| Rationalizing kicking him back off would be the simplest thing. | ||
| It wouldn't compact his ego. | ||
| Because he should be out! | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Ah, but it would. | ||
| It would, because then he wouldn't be as cool. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| And I'll tell you what, I swear to God, this world is dominated. | ||
| By whether or not Elon Musk is feeling cool at any given point in time. | ||
| And Alex, as we know, the king of cool. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So anyway, we'll be back for another episode. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| But until then, we have a website. | ||
| Indeed we do! | ||
| It's knowledgeright.com! | ||
| Yep, we're also on Blue Sky. | ||
| We are on Blue Sky. | ||
| It's knowledgeright! | ||
| Yep, and if you're listening to this, there will be a new Stacky out. | ||
| So that's at stacky.substack.com. | ||
| That's your bright spot. | ||
| Yeah, I guess it should have been. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, well. | ||
| Redo. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Start from the top. | ||
| We'll be back. | ||
| But until then, I'm Neo, I'm Leo, I'm DZX Clark. | ||
| It should have done it right from the top. | ||
| I mean, from the top is literally how we should end it from now on. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And now here comes the sex robots. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||
