| 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? | ||
| My bright spot is, it was our anniversary on Monday, as everybody recalls. | ||
| Right. | ||
| We went to, we actually did something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| And we went to a spa. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| What kind of spa? | ||
| We went to a spa. | ||
| They called it a spa, but it's really just a bathhouse. | ||
| I thought you said spot. | ||
| No, no, no, spa. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Spa. | |
| It was a bathhouse in Chicago. | ||
| We're not bathhouse people. | ||
| That's what we found out. | ||
| We're not bathhouse people. | ||
| We're not massage people. | ||
| It makes me feel uncomfortable. | ||
| It's not a pleasurable experience. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I mean, what is it? | ||
| Just a place that's a lot of showers around? | ||
| It's all wet? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, it doesn't sound so terrible. | ||
| It's a bunch of pools with different levels of heated water. | ||
| Some of them have more salt. | ||
| And other people sitting in them, I assume. | ||
| Oh, you better believe it. | ||
| Hanging around. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Saunas with smells. | ||
| Aromatherapy. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. | ||
| There's a pool that's really cold. | ||
| That'll teach you. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I mean, you gotta shock the system a little bit. | ||
| Absolutely, right? | ||
| So, was it, I mean, like, did you get massages? | ||
| That was that, so it was like... | ||
| That's what I'm picturing, too. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| We got this, obviously, it was an anniversary thing, you know? | ||
| It was like, it's how we do things. | ||
| They bring out the rose petals. | ||
| It's a taste of the bourgeois for the poor. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| That kind of thing, right? | ||
| And I just want to burn down the bourgeois. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Well, you're not going to be able to, because there's water everywhere there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| I mean, that's the problem. | ||
| Also, quiet. | ||
| Couldn't talk loud. | ||
| Had to whisper. | ||
| I was almost kicked out the moment they saw me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They were like, I feel you in the ether sphere. | ||
| I think that's good, though. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Because, I mean, I think everything else is aimed towards relaxation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And you screaming probably isn't conducive to that. | ||
| But people would have a good time. | ||
| If you just screamed at them while they were in the cold water? | ||
| It's freezing in here! | ||
| That's probably going to help. | ||
| That's what they want. | ||
| That's probably going to help. | ||
| Therapeutic screaming. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| Stress, yeah. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| How about you? | ||
| I did not go to a spa. | ||
| Oh, no? | ||
| No, but that HBO documentary came out, The Truth vs. | ||
| Alex Jones. | ||
| Indeed, yeah. | ||
| And I gave it a watch, and I think it does a good job. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's really cool. | |
| I think that a lot of the times you can rely on us for salty criticism of things. | ||
| No, I think I came away from it with a lot of like, oh, that told the story in a compelling way that I think is emotionally impactful. | ||
| And yeah, I think it's good. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| Should enjoy. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| I haven't seen it. | ||
| There's a part of me that just doesn't want to see it like I was there. | ||
| There's a part of me, and then there's also the part of me that's like, I don't know, after having met some people, I don't know if I can watch interviews. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| The part that I think is difficult for you or I to have much of a review or anything of it is a lot of the information is stuff that we've already known and we've covered. | ||
| And I think outside of some of the stories and stuff from the family members and stuff, it's... | ||
| Mostly stuff that isn't totally new information to us. | ||
| So from that angle, it is kind of like, maybe you don't need to see it. | ||
| Yeah, but no, no, no. | ||
| I mean, yeah, that's normal. | ||
| But well done. | ||
| Good job. | ||
| So, Jordan, today we have an episode to go over. | ||
| We're going to be talking about the 26th of March, 2024. | ||
| And that is because it's the day after, or the day of, I guess, because it was early in the morning, of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed. | ||
| And so I wanted to see Alex's take on it and see where he was going with things. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| Because, obviously... | ||
| Yeah, well, there's no way it's just going to be a... | ||
| Accident. | ||
| Yeah, you'd think that. | ||
| I'm sorry? | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's a lot of possibilities that are thrown around. | |
| Okay, fine. | ||
| And so we'll get down to business on this and Alex's myriad thoughts. | ||
| But before we do, let's say hello to some new wonks. | ||
| Ooh, that's a great idea. | ||
| So first, I hope to someday love someone half as much as Jordan loves tennis. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Next, praise be to Celine from Josh in Texas. | ||
| Hi, VW. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Next, screaming WTF from Vancouver Island. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Next, I sent myself a bucket of poop so I can tell my mother from Friend of Satan. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And I'm Annie Fanny, Fox's human brother, who is taking the lack of a DC show as a personal insult, included that last bit as a timestamp when you get to this in 2025. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| I specifically told Jordan to make a DC show, and we got Baltimore, so it's close. | ||
| It's close. | ||
| Blame me. | ||
| I will take responsibility for all things. | ||
| No, blame venues in D.C. Listen, I do. | ||
| That's what we'll do. | ||
| I do. | ||
| So, Jordan, we start this off. | ||
| And Alex has a bit of a take. | ||
| thinks there's a bit of a cover-up of the footage of the bridge being hit. | ||
| There's a cover-up of the footage? | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
For those who don't know, there was a cargo ship, lost power, veered off course, and hit one of the supports of the Francis Scott Key Bridge at like 1:30 in the morning or so. | |
| Bridge collapsed and Alex believes they're telling people, "Don't show the footage." Ladies and gentlemen, the governor of Maryland... | ||
| has asked the media not to show footage of the collapse of the bridge. | ||
| That is something entirely new. | ||
| Did you hear the government say don't show footage on 9-11? | ||
| But now we're seeing reports that social media like Facebook is trying to block it. | ||
| So Alex has some basic details wrong here. | ||
| It wasn't the Maryland governor who made this request. | ||
| It was Baltimore's mayor, Brandon Scott. | ||
| His comments were directed towards media outlets like CNN, not social media, and the reason he gave was, quote, no one needs to see the possibility of their family member being severely injured or otherwise over and over again. | ||
| It's just traumatizing our community. | ||
| And so I think there's a fair point that he makes, but, you know, I don't think there was any... | ||
| No, no. | ||
| I think if you wanted to see it, you saw it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think even if you didn't want to see it. | ||
| I didn't want to see it and I saw it. | ||
| It's terrifying. | ||
| I think especially before you realize that they were able to stop traffic on both sides. | ||
| Now, granted, I'm not trying to take away from or minimize the fact that there were construction people who were on there who were missing and unaccounted for and presumed dead. | ||
| But you see a bridge collapse and your mind goes to there must be a ton of cars on there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so out of context seeing it is certainly a roadblock. | |
| Robustly horrifying. | ||
| 100%, yeah. | ||
| It is just like a reminder of the fragility of things that is like, hey, and then at the same time, it's like, hey, if you throw 15,000 tons at something, it's going to break. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's not much that can be done. | ||
| There's not much that can stop 15,000 tons. | ||
| I'm not positive what sort of bridge can withstand that kind of impact. | ||
| God knows. | ||
| But... | ||
| The boat lost power, and Alex has some thoughts about how they all require backups. | ||
| They all require backup power. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, okay. | |
| The governor, oh, hey, we got the clip of play in a moment. | ||
| Don't show the footage. | ||
| There's nothing graphic. | ||
| You don't see people being crushed or dying, though they are, though they're in the water. | ||
| That's been reported. | ||
| You have this huge bridge collapse. | ||
| You have the power go out on a ship. | ||
| And I've done some research. | ||
| Those ships have battery power for at least lights around and in the ship that kick on. | ||
| And so I made some calls and did some research, and I noticed that General Flynn's saying the same thing. | ||
| But those ships of that size, by law, to be able to come into a port like that, it's a hazardous waste port, one of the biggest in the U.S., have to have all these emergency battery systems and generator systems. | ||
| Where you would not have the main steering cut out for that long, maybe a second, if a primary system went down, then would the generators that automatically kick on fail? | ||
| We, because of the power outages now caused by the feds not letting Texas produce enough electricity during the winter and summer peak times, had to put in a $70,000 generator to run both buildings here, and then it was another... | ||
| $70,000, $80,000 to run the wires and all the expensive systems you've got to have to be in code. | ||
| And this is not that big a building. | ||
| Those ships have generally one of that size, have up to 10 large generators on them. | ||
| And normally two levels, by law it's two levels of backup generators. | ||
| We can open the phones up and have maritime professionals, and boy are they professionals, call into the show and explain it to you. | ||
| And they'll probably explain where I get some things wrong a little bit, but in general I know I'm right. | ||
| They can give you the specifics. | ||
| And so we're going to do that right now. | ||
| So he does. | ||
| Right now. | ||
| He opens up the phones here in a little bit for maritime professionals. | ||
| Maritime professionals. | ||
| And I know that it's a serious situation. | ||
| I don't mean to make light of it, but I do wish someone had called in and just recited the lyrics to the Downeaster Alexa. | ||
| By Billy Joel. | ||
| I thought that would be... | ||
| I was hoping someone would do that. | ||
| Yeah, that would be fun. | ||
| So even assuming that everything Alex is saying is accurate, then it still seems the issue at hand is that there just wasn't... | ||
| Solid enough enforcement of existing regulations. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Inspection regimens, things like that. | ||
| That seems to be what the issue would be, as opposed to some kind of a nefarious plot or anything that your mind might go to. | ||
| These ships don't need to have emergency backup systems in order to come into hazardous waste ports, as Alex is seeming to imply. | ||
| They need them to be on the open water. | ||
| The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea says, quote, Right. | ||
| services. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So even if one thing goes down, it's supposed to have something else that can autonomously run it. | |
| No one's getting stranded at sea. | ||
| The Dolly, the ship that crashed into the Francisca Key Bridge, had a backup generator, and sources are saying that it did kick in, but the ship never regained the ability to steer. | ||
| The ship's local captain had them drop anchor and rudder to try and slow it down, but that wasn't enough. | ||
| Thankfully, they were able to send out a Mayday call, which allowed traffic to be stopped Yeah. | ||
| Regulations governing things like boats needing to have backup generators help make accidents less likely to happen, but that doesn't mean that it always will. | ||
| Sometimes people cut corners, and even when people don't, catastrophic failures can still happen, and it's just an unfortunate reality. | ||
| Also, Alex is entirely wrong about the reason for ERCOT's failure to provide power during the Texas winter storm. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| It was the feds. | ||
| It has nothing to do with people inside of Texas. | ||
| Texas who don't want the feds anywhere near their power grid and specifically say so. | ||
| It was their fault. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Makes sense. | ||
| Yeah, it makes sense. | ||
| So Alex has realized that Michael Flynn, General Michael Flynn, is talking about this. | ||
| And so he's like, I gotta get Flynn on. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| So this is a big deal. | ||
| That port is now shut down. | ||
| The ships can't get out. | ||
| No one can get out. | ||
| Arguably the second largest, if not the largest. | ||
| There's big ones in Houston. | ||
| Chemical holding facility in the country. | ||
| It's undoubtedly the biggest on the East Coast. | ||
| And that's why General Flynn, who's the former head of Defense Intelligence, is saying this is a major black swan event. | ||
| In fact, producers, call Flynn, please. | ||
| And if his producer doesn't answer, I've got his number. | ||
| Come get my phone. | ||
| Call him. | ||
| I know he's a busy guy. | ||
| We really want to get him on about this. | ||
| So you might ask what Alex's definition of a chemical holding facility is. | ||
| That is a good question. | ||
| Seems like it's just a nonsense term that he's using to create tension around this story. | ||
| And by any definition, the Port of Baltimore is not the largest chemical holding facility on the East Coast. | ||
| I don't know what the definitions are. | ||
| He doesn't specify. | ||
| Also, the term black swan event is getting hot with conspiracy folks. | ||
| So you can expect to hear a bunch of that in the future. | ||
| Ironic, considering the... | ||
| Name meaning how infrequent it should occur. | ||
| And how often they're thrown around. | ||
| And everything probably will be suspected of being won. | ||
| At least until the election. | ||
| Here's what I think. | ||
| Okay, if Alex says chemical holding facility, my brain goes to wherever they can make the Joker. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Like, somebody gets pushed, there's vats, and then the Joker happens. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like, that's what we're talking about. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yeah, it's a movie. | ||
| We're not talking about just, like, somebody holding the correct amount of something to help make something later. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Or things that are in transit from, like, boats to eventually be offloaded. | ||
| Or hazardous materials could include oil. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| It could include, like, formaldehyde. | ||
| You know? | ||
| That's a chemical, right? | ||
| You don't want to push the Joker in there. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| I'll stay like that forever. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So Alex says, Get me Flynn. | ||
| And one thing that I was really surprised by is that Flynn shows up almost immediately. | ||
| Jesus, is he not busy? | ||
| Is he not busy? | ||
| Alex just said he was busy, but I'm not sure if he is. | ||
| We have General Michael Flynn, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, former top national security advisor to President Trump. | ||
| He's very busy. | ||
| But we appreciate him on emergency notice popping in. | ||
| We've got an article on Infowars.com dealing with it. | ||
| You can also go to his website and to his X account and get the latest. | ||
| General, you've been warning of a black swan event. | ||
| We're seeing record levels of food processing facilities and energy switching stations and refinery fires and explosions, not just here but around the Western world. | ||
| I've read the reports that statistically we're seeing about triple the number of these that we normally see. | ||
| So obviously that means some of this is just normal accidents, but a lot of it is some type of sabotage. | ||
| You're saying this appears to be a black swan event. | ||
| What do you mean by that, and can you lay it out for us? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, so first of all, black swan events are usually from the financial world, right? | ||
| Well, this actually will impact the financial world for sure. | ||
| But these are events that happen. | ||
| That, you know, you just can't imagine that something like this is going to happen. | ||
| There are ships that transit every port, Harbor Bay, particularly the large ports like the Baltimore Harbor every single day, multiple times a day. | ||
| And for something like this to happen, this complete violation of all standards and norms, they have what's called a SOP, Standard Operating Procedures, that every single ship's captain has to go through prior to... | ||
| Prior to taking off from the dock itself, actually prior to getting on the ship. | ||
| So everything that I see here, and, you know, I mean, the jury is going to be out for a while. | ||
| This is not, you know, I was asked earlier today, Alex, can we take the idea that this was a terrorist attack off the table? | ||
| And absolutely, we cannot do that. | ||
| Let's not do that, all right? | ||
| Let's not take terrorism off the table. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It's definitely possible this was terrorism. | ||
| There's a part of me, honestly, like, how do we not have more of these kinds of accidents? | ||
| If that makes sense, like, when you think about how many car accidents and shit we have, the number of people behaving irresponsibly, like, I'm surprised we aren't hearing about more boating accidents. | ||
| Well, there is a caller who calls in later who talks about being in a similar situation, and there are... | ||
| Similar situations that have happened and probably do happen, and they're unfortunately not the perfect set of circumstances where the boat ends up crashing into a bridge. | ||
| This probably does happen a lot. | ||
| It's just on open water or something where the consequence doesn't happen. | ||
| Well, I mean, and if the boat was like... | ||
| 30 feet to the left, then it might have just gone straight through and hit the ground. | ||
| It's so crazy how specific. | ||
| And then you probably wouldn't hear about this. | ||
| You'd be like, oh, a boat ran aground. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so there are... | ||
| It is, because of all of the circumstances and all of the variables, it is a huge bit of news. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But... | |
| Remove a couple of the variables. | ||
| Remove one of the variables. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And now it's something you wouldn't hear about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And that's why you don't hear about it as often. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| So, Flynn, I mean, obviously, sure. | ||
| Keep in mind that it could be a terrorist attack. | ||
| I mean, yeah. | ||
| But don't give it... | ||
| Why would you give it that much credence that it is with no other information? | ||
| Because it's more fun. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, but I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I just feel like this one isn't going to move the needle on the terrorism scale. | ||
| Well, that's why you need to add other variables. | ||
| Okay, now I'm listening. | ||
| And so that's what General Flynn does. | ||
| Good call. | ||
| The other thing that I'll bring into this, because these are events that are happening too often now, this attack in Russia, the Russians are now saying, Russians are now coming out and saying that the UK and the US were behind the attack. | ||
| In Moscow. | ||
| And then all of a sudden we have this event here. | ||
| Now, you know, I think one of the things that we do have to remember is that, because I heard coming in this morning early that there were at least six bridge workers that were on that bridge, working on that bridge, and there are obviously some cars that are unaccounted for now. | ||
| So there are going to be people that probably tragically lost their lives because of this incident. | ||
| And I'm going to call it an incident. | ||
| I'm not going to call it an accident just yet. | ||
| We've all seen the videos where the lights went out on the ship. | ||
| We've all seen the black smoke coming out of the top of it. | ||
| And I said in my post this morning that people ought to look, start with the harbormaster, because the harbormaster has to answer a lot of questions about, you know, were standard operating procedures followed to the letter? | ||
| Yep, so the Moscow attack, the City Hall, Crocus City Hall is being tied into this. | ||
| Okay, the US and the UK are being blamed for the Moscow attack? | ||
| By the FSB. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Well, it's sort of, in a way. | ||
| Okay, alright. | ||
| The idea of, like, they trained... | ||
| Okay, so we trained ISIS to attack Russia. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| That would be a turn for us. | ||
| Yeah, so those kinds of accusations are flying around. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Ultimate responsibility, as opposed to, like, UK and US actually set this up and did it. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| And so, yeah, Flynn is... | ||
| These incidents, these events are happening too much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And so there must be some kind of connective tissue to them, which is very weird. | ||
| I'm going to go with Spectre. | ||
| I'm going to go with Spectre. | ||
| And why not Hannibal Lecter? | ||
| Because if it rhymes, it's true. | ||
| Spectre and Lecter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Also, the irony that you should not kind of ignore is the standards. | ||
| That they're demanding everyone follow are international law. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So they're demanding an imposition of globalism onto the shipping sector or whatever. | ||
| So there's a little bit of kind of, they seem to miss that. | ||
| I wonder, what are the American, are there like specific American ones that they should be more like, hey, I know the United Nations demand this, but because American standards are different, this is actually good. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| You'll never know. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| I mean, I'm sure we could look it up. | ||
| Well, there is also later, there is a demand that there should have been, like, there needs to be tugboats everywhere. | ||
| It's like, well, you would probably say that if companies were being forced to have tugboats tug out or guide out ships longer than was necessary, that was an imposition upon business. | ||
| But in this case, it's like... | ||
| You know, people only use the tugboats as much as they need to. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And, I don't know, there's an attempt to create suspiciousness every turn. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, there's a certain amount of, like, sure, yeah, I mean, okay, you want this... | ||
| Problem to be corrected. | ||
| Let's start from where you would need to start from to get there. | ||
| And you're like, okay, well, executive pay is lowered and bonuses are no longer tied to stocks. | ||
| That's where you have to start in order to get to let's have more tech boats. | ||
| It is a point. | ||
| So you're just trying to make this suspicious. | ||
| That's what Flynn's game is as best he can. | ||
| They're going to try to blame this on the construction of the bridge and they're going to distract. | ||
| People should not be distracted by those kinds of elements. | ||
| There's a lot worse things that we're going to find out from this particular incident, and nothing can be taken off the table. | ||
| We definitely have people who can investigate these. | ||
| We have really good, talented people who can investigate these types of things. | ||
| Somebody said to me this morning, well, the FBI ought to immediately get involved here. | ||
| And I was like, no, they shouldn't. | ||
| I mean, the FBI is not the best to investigate this right now. | ||
| There are other maritime agencies and activities that we have that are very professional and very capable of doing the work. | ||
| And like I said, I would start with the harbormaster because the harbormaster has a lot to answer for in terms of what procedures were followed or not followed. | ||
| And then there has to be a complete sort of reversal or backward. | ||
| Examination about everything that has occurred with that crew of that vessel, the vessel itself, what was in those container ships, everything. | ||
| I mean, there is going to have to be an incredible level of detail. | ||
| And then the other breaking news that I just heard this morning that I said right up front, Alex, is that Russians are now, appear to be blaming the United Kingdom and the United States for the attack in Moscow. | ||
| I mean, Jesus, whenever we have these... | ||
| These horrific leaders in charge of our country, which we do right now, these are the kinds of things that begin to happen, and we cannot, you know, we just can't have these kinds of, and I don't want to say foolishness, because these are dangerous. | ||
| These are really, really dangerous times. | ||
| And so anyway, I talked about a Black Swan event the other day because I just felt like there's so much activity and so much noise, and we're being distracted over the things that truly matter. | ||
| And I just felt that. | ||
| I felt that in my gut. | ||
| And boy, to me, this is one of those things that you can't imagine. | ||
| I didn't wake up this morning thinking that this is what we were going to have. | ||
| I thought maybe another terrorist attack or something like that because we've had invading forces coming into our country just like we just saw that happened in Russia. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So I think it's... | ||
| Clear that he wants you to be suspicious. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I think the implication is very obvious that he keeps bringing up the idea that the UK and the US are behind the attack in Moscow to connect to this. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So obviously this is an attack of some sort, right? | ||
| Is it a false flag that we're doing on us to get into a war with Russia? | ||
| Or is Russia doing it to us? | ||
| Or is it actually ISIS? | ||
| There are so many possibilities, and who knows? | ||
| All right, I'm going to throw this out at you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The bath party's still in power. | ||
| This is something we've heard. | ||
| Okay, Saddam is tied to Al-Qaeda, and here we are. | ||
| It makes perfect sense. | ||
| I think you have a theory, you have a premise, and it is just as valid as all the other shit that's being thrown out by these guys. | ||
| So here's the thing you need to understand. | ||
| Symbolism. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I did not think of that. | ||
| You should. | ||
| Black Swan event. | ||
| Always think about symbols. | ||
| No, I visit Black Swan event. | ||
| There's going to have to be a review of the infrastructure itself, but that bridge was fine. | ||
| The Francis Scott Key Bridge, right? | ||
| Actually, it's a very symbolic bridge as well. | ||
| Don't say that it's that Francis Scott Key. | ||
| It was the guy that wrote the national anthem during the War of 1812 in the United States of America. | ||
| There's symbolism in a lot of things here. | ||
| You know, what I'm telling you, Alec, and what I'm telling your audience is that we have to pay attention to every single aspect of what just happened, and it's got to go back even months back. | ||
| Where did this shit come from? | ||
| Every single detail to the... | ||
| Minute level. | ||
| So this clip pretty well sums up the idiotic thinking that people like Alex and Flynn engage in. | ||
| There's two major points being made here, and they both lead you to pointless spaces. | ||
| The first is that the ship hitting the bridge is somehow a symbolic attack on the bridge because it's named after Francis Scott Key. | ||
| This is a mentality that encourages people to imagine connections between things and then ascribe meaning to those connections. | ||
| There's literally zero information that Flynn has that backs up the idea that this crash happened on purpose, let alone that the name of the bridge made it a symbolic target. | ||
| But that's the kind of thinking he wants to normalize in the audience. | ||
| The second is this insistence that every little minute detail needs to be examined. | ||
| Obviously, I believe there should be appropriate investigation of the crash and that we need to get to the bottom of what happened, but that's not what Flynn is calling for. | ||
| He wants to go on a perpetual fishing expedition where every detail is poured over in a search for things that confirm his predetermined conclusion. | ||
| He's decided this wasn't an accident, and the goal is to find anomalies that can be passed off as furthering that conclusion while ignoring everything else. | ||
| These are two fantastic tricks that people like Flynn can use in the aftermath of an event to cast wild suspicion on things without having any actual information to go off of. | ||
| Yeah, it's just, it's a little bit like, oh, let's go on a witch hunt. | ||
| All right, now I understand that witches aren't real, but that's not important. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Let's find evidence that these are witches again. | ||
| I don't care that they're not real. | ||
| I don't care that there's no evidence. | ||
| Actually, there's a frog in her backyard. | ||
| It's a witch! | ||
| Moving on! | ||
| There's some sort of a detail that we find by pouring over months and months of shit, and then, ha-ha, false flag! | ||
| Done! | ||
| Also... | ||
| Attack on Francis Scott Key. | ||
| Okay, but here's the thing. | ||
| This is what you have to then admit to yourself, and you have to play it out in your mind. | ||
| You have to play out terrorists sitting around... | ||
| Brainstorming with the whiteboard, which presidential slash historical name for a bridge means we should attack it? | ||
| Right, but here's the thing that we can do away with that concern immediately. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And that's because the people with the whiteboard are the globalists who are trying to attack freedom and America. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So they're the ones who have planned out the symbolism of the targets. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| Then we've got that. | ||
| But still, that means that there are other bridges with other names that could be symbolic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| Did somebody, like, narrow them down? | ||
| Okay, we got the five most symbolically named bridges for this attack. | ||
| I imagine you could find symbolism in any name. | ||
| I'm not familiar with the history of Crocus City Hall, but I imagine if you wanted to find some symbolism there, you probably could. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's the imposition of imagined connections and assuming that they mean something. | ||
| That's just... | ||
| Not a good thing, Pat. | ||
| Numerology, yeah. | ||
| So I was like, Flynn fucking showed up immediately. | ||
| I was like, why did he do that? | ||
| Good question. | ||
| And I think I figured it out. | ||
| Boy, I've been hearing a lot of scuttlebutt about Flynn Movie at FlynnMovie.com. | ||
| And Tucker Carlson is huge in it. | ||
| A bunch of other heavy hitters. | ||
| This is just going to be amazing. | ||
| It premieres coming up very, very soon. | ||
| General Flynn's about to give us the insight on that and then comment on the Russia situation that's so serious. | ||
| And Israel getting ready to carpet bomb Rafa 200-something days after the election. | ||
| But here's the trailer that you can find and get tickets and more at FlynnMovie.com. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| Yeah, so I think he's promoting a movie. | ||
| I think that's probably part of why... | ||
| Real excited to immediately show up. | ||
| Extremely available when promoting a movie. | ||
| I think so. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| So they play the trailer, and then they get into talking about the attack on Moscow. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And Flynn does not believe that this was ISIS. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Let's do a snapshot on what happened last Friday in Moscow, the aftermath of supposedly ISIS. | ||
| But they say right when they're picked up, no, we were just paid and given weapons and told to do this. | ||
| Now they've confirmed they did come out of Ukraine. | ||
| They were trying to get back to Ukraine. | ||
| Some say it could be Putin doing a false flag. | ||
| But I see Newland and others saying nasty surprises, them saying, and Jack Posobiec and others predicting months ago that the West would now shift into more asymmetrical warfare because Russia has won this war. | ||
| You're the leading expert on something like this. | ||
| What is your analysis and gut, General? | ||
| Yeah, my hypothesis on this, Alex, is that this is not an ISIS-related attack, okay? | ||
| There's too many things, there's too many anomalies that, you know, ISIS, you know, if it was a real strong, radical Islamist-type attack, these guys would have been prepared to die. | ||
| And so there's just two, that's number one. | ||
| But there's other things that I have examined, and this is just examining from afar, that just do not come across to me much. | ||
| An ISIS attack. | ||
| That there's something else behind this. | ||
| Now, what I just learned and what the world is learning over the last 24 hours is that the Russians' FSB has come out and said that the UK and the US are behind this. | ||
| Now, you know, if we look at things like the Nord Stream pipeline attack, we look at this. | ||
| The fact that these guys got caught alive and where they got caught and so many of them got caught, I mean, the Russians are going to learn an awful lot. | ||
| From that. | ||
| And so I just, again, my hypothesis is that this is not an ISIS attack. | ||
| And even though our government came out like in 30 minutes and said it's ISIS, right? | ||
| And ISIS came out supposedly and said it's them. | ||
| There's just something not right about this. | ||
| Supposedly, they did come out and say that they did it. | ||
| I don't understand how you could supposedly do that. | ||
| Well, he's trying to minimize the fact that they said that they did it. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Because he wants to go along with the FSB's line. | ||
| Supposedly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Weird. | ||
| So I'm noticing something listening to Flynn, and that is that he doesn't actually ever say that much of substance. | ||
| He's spouting these theories and insisting something doesn't feel right about the Moscow attack or the bridge collapse, but personally... | ||
| I don't know if his feelings carry that much weight. | ||
| And that's all that I'm hearing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Feelings. | |
| So the suspects arrested in the Moscow attack didn't come from Ukraine. | ||
| They came from Tajikistan. | ||
| When they were arrested, they were heading away from Moscow in a direction that could have been towards Ukraine, or it could have been toward Belarus. | ||
| It seems like the idea that you'd be able to make it across the Russia-Ukraine border easily as a getaway seems kind of dumb. | ||
| There's a war going on there. | ||
| Plus, according to BBC, they were arrested 14 hours after the attack, only 250 miles away from Moscow. | ||
| If there was some kind of a plan to shuttle them across the border, they could have easily done that by the point that they got arrested. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So that line kind of just doesn't make sense now. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| But yeah, Flynn has a lot of ideas, but don't know. | ||
| I am interested in the idea of people like these believing what the FSB says. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| They're very distrustful of intelligence agencies as a whole. | ||
| I think it's smart to be distrustful of intelligence. | ||
| Even if they are telling you the truth, they have a purpose behind what it is they say. | ||
| That's why they say no comment so many times. | ||
| So if there is a comment, they have a reason for it. | ||
| And that's just, you know, there's a reason. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Be aware of that. | ||
| Don't be just so trusting. | ||
| Amazing that you would trust the FSB of all places. | ||
| Well, they're the... | ||
| The example that proves the rule or whatever. | ||
| Right, the exception. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| You know you can trust the Russian intelligence agencies because they make the right people disappear. | ||
| All right, Flynn. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Sure thing, buddy. | ||
| Great. | ||
| So he leaves, and Alex, I'm going to go ahead and skip this clip because it's long, and it's just Alex saying, I'm probably going out of business. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| 50-50 shot. | ||
| Probably. | ||
|
unidentified
|
50-50. | |
| Probably not good. | ||
| InfoWars going away, maybe? | ||
| Buy a shirt while you can. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| So he takes about a long time to say that. | ||
| Just to say that. | ||
| Gotcha. | ||
| So in this next clip, Alex kind of, he's complaining about immigrants, and I think he fucks up his entire whole house reapportionment argument here. | ||
| Okay, okay. | ||
| They've had the illegal aliens there for six months to a year. | ||
| In these hotels and government facilities that they've tried to keep secret by the millions, and now they're kicking them out to make way for the new group, and they're loading them on planes with money and sending them to Texas and Tennessee and Georgia and Michigan and Pennsylvania and Arizona and Florida. | ||
| And when you go down the list of where they're sending them, I've got AP articles right here saying it. | ||
| They are sending them mainly to battleground states and to purple states and to red states. | ||
| They're not sending any of them to blue states. | ||
| So the Texas governor and the Florida governor have wisely deported some of these illegal aliens. | ||
| They don't have power to deport them over the border, but they have power to ship them to another state or to a leftist area like Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts. | ||
| But they're immediately taken out of there. | ||
| So they are literally sending them. | ||
| To the blue, out of the blue cities, into the red areas, to flip those Democrat, not just for the illegals voting, as we know they're doing, but also, again, for the apportionment of the members of Congress to get more congressional seats. | ||
| So, this is a big, big... | ||
| Deal. | ||
| So, leaving aside that Alex is making all of that up in all the numbers, I want to point out that he's fucked up the conspiracy. | ||
| If the goal of sending undocumented immigrants places was to create more Democrat House seats through apportionment, then the storyline needs to be that they're sending everyone to blue areas. | ||
| Right. | ||
| If the immigrants are being sent to red and purple areas, this whole plotline doesn't make sense. | ||
| It's a waste of everybody's time. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Let's not outnumber anyone with the vote. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Plus, they only do the census every 10 years, and there was just one in 2020. | ||
| None of these concerns matter, though, because this isn't a sincere argument Alex is making. | ||
| It's just the new way for anti-immigrant sentiment to be packaged in a way that folks like Alex think is less likely to make them seem like bigots. | ||
| But it's not working, and you don't understand the premise even of your own bullshit narrative. | ||
| It's contradictory. | ||
| And it's just so transparently and blatantly... | ||
| Race. | ||
| I mean, it's like... | ||
| They're not sending them to blue states. | ||
| Even in your conspiracy. | ||
| Even if your conspiracy was 100% true. | ||
| That's ridiculous. | ||
| It would be so glaringly obvious what was going on. | ||
| If your conspiracy is that 100% true, you and I would be like, well, obviously, if you're only sending them to these places, there's a reason behind it, right? | ||
| It would be stupid. | ||
| You couldn't hide it at all? | ||
| Well, the problem is that they need to have, like, this sort of more pseudo-respectable argument, which is the apportionment of Congress. | ||
| And then at the same time, Alex isn't willing to get away from the I believe that literally everybody can vote illegally. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So he has to have the people are being sent. | ||
| to red areas because they vote illegally there. | ||
| And then the people are being sent to the blue areas because that is the apportionment. | ||
| And he doesn't realize how he can't make these two mix. | ||
| He's trying to have his cake and eat it too with his racist xenophobic narrative, and it's just, it makes it convoluted. | ||
| Yeah, it's fucked up to think about it now, but I mean, you know, you think 10 years from now, climate change situations start to arise, and now people like Alex are mad about... | ||
| Immigrants from Indiana coming to, you know, at what point are we talking about interstate? | ||
| It'll happen, probably. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Like, just this idea of, like, they're sending them to our states. | ||
| It's like, the idea of it being an illegal immigrant is only the smokescreen now. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| When they don't care, it could just be like, people from India, they're sending black people from Indiana to Texas, and now we're mad. | ||
| You know? | ||
| I mean, who knows how that'll evolve. | ||
| Fuck me. | ||
| So we get to Alex's phone calls. | ||
| He takes some calls from folks who work in the maritime services. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And he gets a call from a guy whose dad works at the port. | ||
| At the Baltimore port? | ||
| I believe so, yes. | ||
| At the Baltimore port. | ||
| Good. | ||
| And I don't know if we get any information. | ||
| Let's go to Tim first. | ||
| There's his father, I believe he's saying, works at this port. | ||
| Then we'll go to Cody. | ||
| Corey and Mitchell, thank you, Tim, for calling, and thank you for holding. | ||
| You're on the air. | ||
| Please give us your take and what your dad's telling you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so my dad works at the port, and my brother's a truck driver. | |
| He goes to D.C. from Baltimore, and everyone's talking about, like, you know, this is, obviously it's never happened here, and just a few days later after the rush in it. | ||
| Excuse me, incident. | ||
| It just seems to be, you know, I don't think it's a coincidence. | ||
| But where my brother works at, people are taking off. | ||
| They're like, yeah, something bad's going to happen. | ||
| And just a bad feeling. | ||
| So you've talked to your dad or have you not talked to him? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| No, he, same deal. | ||
| Disrupting trade. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I guess we're getting gossip from someone whose dad works at the... | ||
| This doesn't seem like a hard-hitting. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, which kind of sucks is because I actually, in this scenario, I could see some InfoWars people being like... | ||
| Boat people. | ||
| Just, like, super into boats. | ||
| No, there are a couple. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And then, like, calling in with really good information that's, like, nuts, like, real detailed. | ||
| Like, they love that. | ||
| Like, listen, we believe all this kind of bullshit, but also I listen to the shipping reports every night, and I have for 30 years. | ||
| You know, that kind of thing. | ||
| And I would be interested to know shit. | ||
| Well, we do hear from somebody like that later. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| But until then, we do have to deal with gossip and speculation. | ||
| But from people who... | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| I guess that's fine. | ||
| I guess that's better. | ||
| I know it's all speculation, but what's the buzz? | ||
| What's the scuttlebutt with people in your profession? | ||
| Well, I mean, it's early. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I haven't talked to too many people, but the biggest question is, is why did the ship lose power? | |
| I'm not sure how those ships are actually operated in terms of are there remote capabilities? | ||
| Disqualified. | ||
| Can that stuff be interfered with? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Was there some kind of a delay in electronics? | |
| But it looks like at the last minute, they tried to put it in reverse. | ||
| They got the engines fired back up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But at that point, they say that it takes nearly a mile to slow down eight knots. | |
| And they were coming in pretty quick, from what I can understand. | ||
| What do they call that inertia? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Inertia. | |
| Wow. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Well, it could be a normal disaster. | ||
| That certainly goes on. | ||
| We're sure seeing a lot of this. | ||
| I was thinking, and I'm purely speculating, I'm not saying the Russians did it, but a lot of these ships, because I've been led into the cruise ship by the captains, other people's, I mean, it's all decades ago, super computerized and GPS and all the rest of it. | ||
| Most of it's done by, you know, autopilot. | ||
| And we know going back to the Exxon Valdez, it was on autopilot when it did that. | ||
| So, but just to see that catastrophic power failure and to not even see emergency lights go on, It's very, very, very, very strange, and so it needs to be investigated. | ||
| Unfortunately, we don't have any confidence, at least I don't, in federal investigators because they're so corrupted at the top. | ||
| God knows who we'll ever know, but I saw the cursed bridge being blown up repeatedly going out of Russia into southern Ukraine, into Crimea, and I wonder if it could be payback by the Russians. | ||
| I mean, this is the type of sabotage industrial crap. | ||
| We've already seen the globalists blow up the Nord Stream pipeline and Biden say we'll get rid of the pipeline if you invade Ukraine. | ||
| So it would be turnabout's fair play. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| It's all just speculation. | ||
| It's all just speculation. | ||
| Aren't we scared of nuclear war right now? | ||
| He's supposed to be terrified of it. | ||
| Isn't he supposed to be terrified of it? | ||
| And it's around the corner every second. | ||
| Accusing Russia of attacking a bridge in Baltimore is not a good way to de-escalate. | ||
| Nah, it's fine. | ||
| Because here's the thing. | ||
| He thinks it's cool if it was them. | ||
| Ah, you're right. | ||
| Turnabout's fair play. | ||
| Hey, what are you gonna do? | ||
| Listen, you shouldn't have allowed Ukraine to defend itself. | ||
| Yeah, Alex, the way he's covering the... | ||
| The possibility that he's making up out of thin air that Russia did this is like, hey, if they did it, it's cool. | ||
| That would be Pearl Harbor, though. | ||
| You understand that would be Pearl Harbor. | ||
| But it's fine. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| Never mind. | ||
| It's fine! | ||
| Turnabout's fair play! | ||
| Listen, we have realigned politically globally. | ||
| Quite a bit. | ||
| In the past 40 years. | ||
| And Alex has realigned sensibility-ish. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's wild. | ||
| Also, I was listening to this and I was shocked at the extent to which this is being covered like a gossip-ass story. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| This is just like, why don't we throw all kinds of weird ideas at the wall? | ||
| I'll have Flynn come in and talk about the attack in Moscow and talk about how suspicious this is with giving no reason for this being suspicious necessarily. | ||
| You take these callers and it's like, my dad thinks it's weird he works at the port. | ||
| Great! | ||
| We get another guy, the second guy who was a fisherman and we get nothing. | ||
| It's gossip. | ||
| It's very thin. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| It reminds me of so many like... | ||
| Yeah, as you're saying, it is just about what variables are present at what point in time. | ||
| Like, you'd think so many cruise ships, when you've seen horrible disasters happen there, you'd be like, okay, well, terrorists are attacking thousands of people. | ||
| That makes sense, right? | ||
| That's your target, right? | ||
| Not just, well, it's called Francis Scott Key. | ||
| Symbolism. | ||
| Symbolism. | ||
| Symbolism, baby. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So Alex brought up the Exxon Valdez there. | ||
| That was interesting. | ||
| And so he talks about that a little bit more here. | ||
| So, again, I'm a layperson. | ||
| I've only cursory studied this, but that's what I knew. | ||
| And I read by law any ship that's doing commercial work above a certain size has to have all the things he just mentioned. | ||
| So, and again, they had it back during the Exxon Valdez, but the captain was completely drunk and basically plotted, if I remember correctly, put the computer plotting wrong. | ||
| So, think about it. | ||
| The pilots will tell you that On any big commercial plane, they're not flying the plane anymore. | ||
| They pre-program it. | ||
| The computer takes off. | ||
| The computer lands. | ||
| They're just there like custodians. | ||
| That's why pilots now come back. | ||
| The co-pilot will be asleep. | ||
| The captain will be asleep if you're in first class right next to you. | ||
| And I've just been seeing this the last few years, and I've talked to them, and they said, we don't fly the planes anymore. | ||
| And the older captains will tell you, this is dangerous because when there's a problem, they're not very good. | ||
| Because normally, you're taking off your landing. | ||
| You've got to stay on top of it. | ||
| And in many ways, the computers do fly planes better than humans until there's a problem. | ||
| And they've had all these computer systems malfunction, and it makes the planes dive bomb, and they're kind of sweeping under the rug. | ||
| But as everything gets put into one system and one AI system, it makes it totally easy to be taken over by hackers, by governments, by aliens. | ||
| And I mean that hypothetically, but that's like a remake of... | ||
| Battlestar Galactica, I'm not a big TV guy, but I did watch the first series, and that was pretty good. | ||
| And that's how the aliens take over Earth is, they take over the AI. | ||
| And then everybody's defenseless except one ship that was a museum piece that wasn't in the grid. | ||
| Could have stopped at Hackers. | ||
| Could have gone along. | ||
| Could have just stopped at Hackers. | ||
| Yep, yep, yep. | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| So Alex does have a lot of concerns about self-driving vehicles. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, yeah. | |
| It's a real good thing that he isn't a huge supporter of the world's number one promoter of autonomous vehicles. | ||
| It does feel weird. | ||
| That is a strange bedfellow. | ||
| Also, that's how it happened with the Exxon Valdez. | ||
| But Captain Joseph Hazelwood was drunk. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| But he wasn't in charge of the boat at the time. | ||
| He had retired for the night and taken his leave. | ||
| The third mate was in charge of the ship at the time. | ||
| But fun. | ||
| I do appreciate the idea, because in my head, if you say, like, oh, the old pilots, the old captains will tell you, you know, this is dangerous. | ||
| Back when they were drunk. | ||
| I see grizzled sea captains with, like, a peg leg, you know, just being like, oh, they let you take off doing anything. | ||
| You know? | ||
| It is probably an unfair stereotype that I have, because I'm sure the captains weren't all drunk. | ||
| No, of course not. | ||
| But that was the sitcom thing. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That was the sitcom joke, is the captains back in the day were all drunk. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I mean, yeah, that's what we all remember. | ||
| Right, so now I guess the sleeping isn't that much worse. | ||
| Yeah, and they were, like, handsy. | ||
| That was the joke, is that they were very handsy. | ||
| That might not have been a joke. | ||
| Well, yeah, that's fair. | ||
| I'm sure there's stereotypes. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I don't think... | ||
| I mean, obviously, technology has evolved and stuff, but I don't think that we're at the point where everything is automated. | ||
| I like your problem with they're better at us at some things until they're not. | ||
| It's like, well, humans are better than them at some things until they're not. | ||
| You understand how that works, right? | ||
| Everybody is good at things. | ||
| Until they're not. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So there's an attack on men. | ||
| That is happening. | ||
| Because of the boat? | ||
| Because of the ports. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Because hard men. | ||
| Men do the hard work at these ports. | ||
| All right, I'm going to go through the other seven, eight calls we have, and then we're going to stop there. | ||
| They're fascinating. | ||
| With port workers, barge operators, captains, engineers, all these interesting people calling in to give you an idea of how complex civilization is. | ||
| The amazing men. | ||
| Not putting down women, but it's men that built it. | ||
| It's not black men. | ||
| It's not white men. | ||
| It's not brown men. | ||
| It's men and the attack on men that bust their ass in these dangerous positions all over the world and always have. | ||
| And we have this disaster, and the thing smells. | ||
| I agree with Flynn. | ||
| It's very suspicious. | ||
| You've heard these callers that are working around this. | ||
| This stuff never happens, folks. | ||
| I mean, we're talking every 30 years. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| And those ships have redundant systems. | ||
| The power goes off here. | ||
| We've got two backup systems, batteries and a big generator. | ||
| And it works. | ||
| Power goes out, never even goes off. | ||
| We're on. | ||
| And those ships have that, you heard it, two or three times backed up, depending on how big the ship is. | ||
| So it's suspicious. | ||
| You know, there is not a commitment. | ||
| To an argument, necessarily, that Alex is making. | ||
| You know, there's the redundancies of the electrical system. | ||
| Obviously, bringing this up as a cause for suspicion is, there must have been sabotage. | ||
| Or there has to have been some kind of, like, you know, the planes are all AI, they're all, like, the robots are flying them. | ||
| There was a robot attack on the AI that was running this boat, or whatever. | ||
| Sure, there's that suspicion that is drawn out. | ||
| And there's all kinds of non-sequiturs that are brought up. | ||
| By Alex and by callers, things like there weren't tugboats taking them all the way, things like I heard that the crew was all Ukrainians. | ||
| Let's pour through every detail, and if we can find anything that might be suspicious, yeah. | ||
| You build this suspicion, but there isn't like a, aha, here is the explanation for everything. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And it's just kind of a bull session of bullshit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so we get a caller who has a real winner. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Right, yeah, and it's a Singapore tug, right, or a Singapore cargo vessel. | ||
| So, I mean, are we looking at China on this? | ||
| Well, imagine if we go to war with Iran. | ||
| They're going to block both of the major canals there in the Middle East. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, looking into the ports further, I mean, look at the Panama Canal and what's going on down there. | |
| They're trying to shut everything down. | ||
| Anything else, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, that's good. | |
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Be safe. | ||
| Beautiful area, Cape Cod. | ||
| Beautiful area. | ||
| What is going on? | ||
| Gotta love Cape Cod. | ||
| What is Cape Cod doing? | ||
| That guy's from Cape Cod. | ||
| Yeah, I understand that part. | ||
| Beautiful area. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| See, I think climate change is more what's affecting the Panama Canal at this point. | ||
| But Singapore, China, boom. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Boy, you know, this vessel's from Kenya. | ||
| It's probably Russia doing it. | ||
| What are we talking about? | ||
| You literally said the name of a different country! | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Singapore? | ||
| No! | ||
| China. | ||
| Not how it works! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boom. | |
| I do appreciate... | ||
| Free association. | ||
| Like that idea of just... | ||
| Well, you know, Singapore, it's round there. | ||
| That's probably China. | ||
| I associate the two. | ||
| That's just China. | ||
| Not even an inkling of, like, maybe they're their own people. | ||
| Not even once. | ||
| Not a single thought. | ||
| It's all just one big thing of China. | ||
| Yeah, why did they name themselves? | ||
| He's almost resentful of them. | ||
| Why'd you name yourself Singapore? | ||
| You're making me waste time when I should be saying China. | ||
| And that's actually kind of suspicious in and of itself. | ||
| Yes, it is. | ||
| Ridiculous. | ||
| So, Alex does get a call from a guy who seems to have a lot of answers for him. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And this guy is pretty set on it being an accident. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And he has a good answer for the backup generator narrative, which does seem to be the biggest piece of real-world information that Alex is wrestling with. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Which is... | ||
| There's supposed to be redundancy of the power supply, so even if something fails, something else should take over. | ||
| And this guy kind of destroys that talking point. | ||
| Tim in Mississippi, thanks for holding a ship captain. | ||
| What type of ship captain are you, and what's your take? | ||
| Hey, Alex. | ||
| First time caller, man. | ||
| It's a little bit nervous here, but trying to keep it rational. | ||
| When a ship is underway, it has to have only navigation lights. | ||
| So from watching the video this morning, you could see the light. | ||
| To me, that's going to be emergency deck lights for evacuation, which automatically comes on when you lose power. | ||
| Like Joe said, man, I'm following up. | ||
| He really knows what he's talking about. | ||
| He's got a lot of it down. | ||
| There's about a two-minute delay on your generators when that kicks back. | ||
| Some of them have three. | ||
| The ones I ran offshore had two. | ||
| It was a redundant system. | ||
| You're saying it's not fast? | ||
| It's not what? | ||
| It's not fast. | ||
| No, it's not fast. | ||
| On a transfer, it's not fast. | ||
| It's not instantaneous, like a lot of people say. | ||
| There is a backup system on the steering. | ||
| That's what your emergency generator system does. | ||
| It activates certain lights. | ||
| That's for evacuation. | ||
| And on a ship like that, on a Solus class, it's going to have probably three. | ||
| I've never worked on those size ships. | ||
| I've only worked like the 350-foot supply boats offshore. | ||
| Now, I've had to deal with this going into the port of New Orleans a lot. | ||
| It's a miracle on a day-to-day basis of how many catastrophes this probably avoided. | ||
| And not long ago, we had one that come under the bridge, and he lost steering. | ||
| And the first thing a pilot does, a Harbor Pass pilot would say, is drop your anchors. | ||
| As soon as he knows that he can't have control, he's going to drop anchor. | ||
| That's your last resort. | ||
| And when the one in New Orleans caught, it kind of swung it out a little bit back into the river, and it hit the wharf and actually saved a lot of lives. | ||
| That guy done everything right. | ||
| And in this situation, when you see that ship turn, it's a possibility he had already dropped his anchors. | ||
| If he's underway, he's only going to have tugs that's going to guide him. | ||
| So this guy kind of gets rid of a lot of the stuff that's, like, this is, like, really suspicious. | ||
| Like, if there is this backup generator, it takes a little while, there isn't an immediate kick-on of it, then in that down time, when you've steered off course, that could explain everything, quite honestly. | ||
| So, I think that this guy maybe is the wrong call for Alex to take, because it ruins a lot of the fun. | ||
| I mean, I... | ||
| Well, I fucking... | ||
| I'm disappointed that we're listening to this on Infowars, because I want to listen to this guy tell me more about boats. | ||
| Like, I feel a lot like if you recall, like... | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yes, tell me more about the more details and weird shit about the engine. | ||
| Tell me all about that. | ||
| That this guy is so knowledgeable about boats, and they're so complicated. | ||
| He's a pretty good communicator, too, honestly. | ||
| Yeah, no, I'm learning, I'm interested, and then I'm worried that this guy is going to be like, well, and also we need to get rid of all immigrants. | ||
| Like, no! | ||
| Wrong place! | ||
| He doesn't say anything that raises any alarms of problematicness. | ||
| But he does have an explanation for Alex's... | ||
| Primary reason to have some wild suspicion, and that just isn't fun. | ||
| I mean, for me, this has probably been one of the most exciting Infowars actual moments in real life for me, because I love learning about stuff like that. | ||
| That's so cool. | ||
| Yeah, and so as he explains what he reads and the dynamics of things, you kind of have to just admit, this is probably an accident. | ||
| It's like I said, I mean, there's so many times that things can go wrong, and when it does, it's always in the wrong spot. | ||
| And I'm trying to be rational on it. | ||
| I'm like you. | ||
| But I've got to tell you, from all the experts calling in, it sounds like it probably wasn't hacking or terror. | ||
| I'm going with the way that the lights work. | ||
| And you had all of these white lights on, and you can see it coming toward that stanchion. | ||
| And then all of a sudden the lights came back on. | ||
| To me... | ||
| When it goes to black, that means it's a normal operation. | ||
| So Alex has to just sort of retreat to I guess all the experts calling in are saying that it's probably an accident. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Which isn't fun for him. | ||
| He had General Flynn show up out of nowhere to be real suspicious at the beginning, and this kind of deflates everything. | ||
| It is a wet blanket. | ||
| I will admit that this is a wet blanket. | ||
| For Alex, this destroys all kinds of enjoyment. | ||
| There's not a lot of momentum you can take after this, after someone who seems to know quite a bit, is a ship captain, isn't incoherent in his communication, I'm aware of this. | ||
| you kind of have a tough time then being like But what about the Moscow tech? | ||
| And it's one of your own people. | ||
| It's not like it's an expert on CNN. | ||
| It's not a globalist. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| It's one of your own people who's on the ground and it's doing a job that's like, in Alex's mind, an actual job as opposed to somebody who works anywhere else, you know? | ||
| So another caller, I'm not sure if it was this guy or another person, I don't remember exactly, but someone is like, you know who you should get on to talk about this? | ||
| It's an expert that you have not talked to in a long time, and maybe it's time for you guys to settle up. | ||
| Larry Nichols? | ||
| No, he's dead. | ||
| I was hoping it was Steve Pacenic. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, that would be great. | ||
| But it turns out this person was like, you gotta get Matt Bracken in. | ||
| Oh, wow! | ||
| And for those of you who don't remember Matt Bracken... | ||
| Yeah, it's been a while. | ||
| He was the guy who... | ||
| Well, first of all, he's obsessed with the coming race war and has written multiple books about it. | ||
| But also, he would host the fourth hour on Alex's show, and he famously, on, I believe it was December 31st, 2020 said, we need to storm the Capitol on January 6th. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| That was him. | ||
| And then Alex was like, uh-oh. | ||
| It's probably why we haven't heard from him in a while. | ||
| Because after January 6th, Matt Bracken was a big part of Alex trying to do damage control. | ||
| And then it came out that he had said, you should storm the Capitol on the 6th. | ||
| It looked a little bad. | ||
| So he and Alex have not been super close. | ||
| Thrown under the bus. | ||
| So when this person suggests that Alex talked to Matt Bracken. | ||
| Alex was like, I'm going to host the fourth hour. | ||
| Fuck it. | ||
| And I was like, oh, he's going to get Matt Bracken in. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then he doesn't. | ||
| God damn it. | ||
| Yeah, Matt Bracken doesn't show up. | ||
| It seems like it was a promise. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I was hoping maybe Bracken was busy. | ||
| He's not like Flynn. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He doesn't have a movie to promote. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So Alex does have a different guest, though, that comes in in the third hour. | ||
| And it's a guy who co-hosts a podcast with Jimmy Dore. | ||
| I'm a big fan of this guy. | ||
| I've been watching him for years, co-hosting with the great Jimmy Dore. | ||
| Kurt Metzger is here. | ||
| He's an Emmy Award-winning and Peabody Award-winning writer and producer. | ||
| He recently played a series regular alongside Alan Alda, Jessica Lange, and many, many others. | ||
| And, of course, he's just done so much more. | ||
| KurtMetzkerComedy.com and at KurtMetzker, that's N-E-R-O-N-X. | ||
| And he's got so many shows. | ||
| He's written for Chappelle, Jim Norton. | ||
| It just goes on and on. | ||
| And so it's great to have him here to talk about the world. | ||
| We've got some of his comedy clips coming up as well. | ||
| But he's really a hardcore guy that's aware of world events and what's happening. | ||
| And so my wife is the one that gets alerts on her iPad, and she watches Jimmy Dore all the time. | ||
| She watches her other favorite person to watch. | ||
| She likes Jordan Peterson. | ||
| She also likes watching Russell Brand. | ||
| I kind of get mad at her. | ||
| Why don't you watch me? | ||
| She looks like I've got plenty of you at home. | ||
| But she's a big fan of yours. | ||
| So thank you for coming on. | ||
| It was a great interview with you guys and Jimmy. | ||
| Yeah, no, I wanted, because when you were talking about DMT and stuff before, and I never got to talk to you about it. | ||
| Not right this second, but I was like, I've been meaning to ask you about that because you're talking about the alien entities they're trying to contact. | ||
| We can talk about DMT. | ||
| It's not super interesting, but I found out what you were talking about. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| You found out what he was talking about. | ||
| So you got Kurt Metzger. | ||
| I know for a fact that, like, eight to ten years ago, Kurt Metzger was making fun of people who did exactly what he's doing right now. | ||
| There's a chance that he probably was, and he definitely does talk in this interview about how on 9-11 he was, like, gung-ho for the Iraq War and stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| You know, there is obviously a, some positions have changed. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely that. | ||
| I did think it was really weird that Alex said that he is a series regular with Alex. | ||
| Alan Alda and Jessica Lange. | ||
| And I'm like, on what? | ||
| On what? | ||
| He's talking about Horace and Pete. | ||
| The show Horace and Pete? | ||
| The Louis C.K. show. | ||
| From the stage play show that he did? | ||
| It was 2016. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| He was sitting at the bar with Lisa. | ||
| And Jessica Lange. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Weird. | |
| So that was... | ||
| I don't understand why Alex didn't finish that credit. | ||
| That's strange. | ||
| So, yeah, I don't know. | ||
| Look, Kurt Metzger, I don't... | ||
| That was a dark show. | ||
| I don't think I ever saw it. | ||
| I did. | ||
| It was dark. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| I know it's a bar, right? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I mean, it's one of those classic, terrible stage plays where, you know, everybody dies in the end. | ||
| That kind of thing. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| So... | ||
| Kurt Metzger's on. | ||
| I don't really care too much. | ||
| I'm not wildly interested. | ||
| No. | ||
| But there are a couple things that do come up that I think are notable. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Right now is the age of disgruntled employees snitching on their employers, which I'm all for. | ||
| I say keep snitching. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| Especially if it's on government officials. | ||
| A hundred percent. | ||
| Well, the great part is I don't do anything weird. | ||
| I mean, there's literally nothing other than the fact that everybody knows Alex Jones drinks sometimes and it's an issue. | ||
| I mean, going to AA lately, you're not supposed to talk about it. | ||
| He's going to be sober for this shit? | ||
| No, no, no, exactly. | ||
| But other than that, the stuff the New York Times, like, said, we had a fish tank of an employee and Jones was mad and grabbed the fish and ate it. | ||
| That's Wolf of Wall Street. | ||
| There's never been a damn fish tank here. | ||
| You never did a Wolf of Wall Street? | ||
| I never murdered someone's fish. | ||
| But they make up lies so big, people go, well, it's got to be true. | ||
| I mean, Jones killed the employee's fish, and you're not working hard enough, and grabbed the fish and ate it. | ||
| It's Wolf of Wall Street, you lazy assholes! | ||
| Did you know that even the real-life Wolf of Wall Street, nobody did that? | ||
| So I think that it is fun to encourage snitching on employers, primarily because people like Kurt, Or Alex, when they are the subject of things, there's denial and it's cancel culture. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So they're kind of immune from any of this blowback. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But, yeah, sure. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| Snitch on employers. | ||
| But the other thing that I think is... | ||
| Sticks out there. | ||
| What, that Alex doesn't do anything weird at all, ever? | ||
| Maybe he just drinks a little bit. | ||
| Everybody knows that. | ||
| But he doesn't do... | ||
| He's not a weird guy. | ||
| He doesn't do weird things. | ||
| Why are you saying that he does weird stuff all the time, Dan? | ||
| I think he does some weird stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Aha! | |
| That's definitely true. | ||
| Not the accusation of eating a goldfish. | ||
| I think there's plenty of other weird stuff. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think you need that one. | ||
| But Alex said that he's been going to AA. | ||
| He did say that. | ||
| Now, I obviously, if this is true... | ||
| I don't want to make fun of that. | ||
| I think it is totally fine to seek help. | ||
| And I think that's great. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Now, if he's doing the steps. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| Let me ask you a question. | ||
| How long do you think it takes for him to read every letter of apology that he needs to write? | ||
| I mean, that's the thing that I find very difficult to imagine. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Is engagement with the... | ||
| The steps? | ||
| The process? | ||
| The thing that it is? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fearless moral inventory? | |
| That... | ||
| That is right. | ||
| Making amends while he's screaming at people? | ||
| Not gonna happen. | ||
| Denying that he did anything wrong about Sandy Hook? | ||
| Yeah, they're officially... | ||
| I find it really difficult. | ||
| I imagine it'll be tough. | ||
| And I... | ||
| I think the anonymous part is probably going to be the hardest thing for him. | ||
| Clearly, he just said it on air! | ||
| He's bringing it up. | ||
| I'm going to this meeting on this date. | ||
| Yeah, good work. | ||
| Thanks, man. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| That would be a nightmare. | ||
| Yeah, right? | ||
| So, there's some other things that come up. | ||
| I don't want my country hijacked by crazy people. | ||
| Well, that happened a long time ago, I guess. | ||
| Ever since they killed Kennedy, the CIA's been in control, and they're just out of control. | ||
| Am I wrong about this? | ||
| I can't find out. | ||
| I swore I read it somewhere, but the term conspiracy theory as like a thing was Alan Dulles. | ||
| Yes, it was created in 1963. | ||
| There's even AP articles. | ||
| It was released in 64. Anyone questioning the JFK assassination was called a conspiracy terrorist, so you wouldn't debate the facts. | ||
| Right. | ||
| No, that's not true. | ||
| So Alan Dulles did not create the term conspiracy theorist or conspiracy theory in 1963 to discredit people who had ideas about the JFK assassination. | ||
| The term long predates that point, and Alex is just trying to sound interesting and smart for his impressionable celebrity guest. | ||
| This all traces back to a 1976 document titled Concerning Criticism of the Warren Report, which was meant to help CIA folk understand various arguments that conspiracy theorists made against the Warren Report and provided rebuttals for them. | ||
| This doesn't prove that the CIA created the term. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think Trump was charged with criminal conspiracy, right, by Fannie Willis. | ||
| Is that RICO conspiracy? | ||
| The whole basis of organized crime laws is conspiracy. | ||
| Yeah, so, and I always ask, like, do you think, are you saying conspiracy, is it conspiracy to you a thing that's not real? | ||
| Everybody else does conspiracies, but not powerful corporations and governments. | ||
| Right, well, not the guy I like, or my favorite is every dumb shit liberal I know. | ||
| And I'm non-binary politically, but every liberal I know, they all know the story of the Sackler family and how they, Oxycontin, they saw the documentary. | ||
| I was hooked on Oxycontin. | ||
| And that was a real conspiracy. | ||
| It was very real. | ||
| They all know about this, and I go, okay, so you know Oxycontin. | ||
| Now hold that, hold that in your head, and now think about all the other drugs. | ||
| The vaccine, the fucking, I can't wait until you're not allowed to talk bad about Ozempic. | ||
| I bet that's coming pretty soon, where you're going to be. | ||
| Shadow ban because you said something about Ozempic wrong. | ||
| Maybe shadow ban for shitting on Ozempic. | ||
| Seems not to have happened. | ||
| Seems like it's not going to. | ||
| But Kurt is suffering from a thought pattern that you could describe as treating possibility as proof. | ||
| Pointing to the case of the Sacklers does not show that... | ||
| All other medications are profit-driven conspiracies, but it does show that conspiracy has happened and is possible. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| This is a mental shortcut that Kurt's taking because he gravitates towards this iconoclastic position. | ||
| I guess he doesn't believe in medicine, then? | ||
| It's all a scam? | ||
| How can you not? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay, so if I understand correctly, if one Sackler, all Sackler. | ||
| Is that the argument, basically? | ||
| Well, sure. | ||
| I mean, I think that's kind of the way a lot of this conspiracy shit works. | ||
| It's like, okay, the Operation Northwoods exists, therefore everything that could possibly seem like it must be fake. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's the possibility is treated as proof, and that is because you can't arrive at the conclusion any other way. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You have to make that big leap. | ||
| And then scoff at people for not joining you on that leap as if they're dumb shit libs or whatever. | ||
| Yeah, which is kind of crazy because if you follow his reasoning, at a certain point he inverts it. | ||
| You know, like, okay, I know the story of the Sacklers. | ||
| The Sacklers conspiracy. | ||
| Everybody talked about how it's bad. | ||
| The opioid crisis, epidemic, all of these things for years, decade. | ||
| We've been talking about this, right? | ||
| And then he's like, aha, now apply that to when you're not allowed to say bad things about stuff? | ||
| As though that's the same? | ||
| No, he's saying that you have these people who had a profit-driven motive in order to give people medicine that they didn't need or was maybe dangerous. | ||
| So now apply that to every other medicine. | ||
| Apply that to the vaccine. | ||
| When he's talking about you can't talk bad about Ozempic, he's comparing that to the vaccine. | ||
| You're not allowed to talk bad about vaccine. | ||
| He's not comparing that to you're not allowed to talk bad about fucking opioids. | ||
| Shadowban for talking about Vicodin? | ||
| I mean, yeah. | ||
| What are you fucking talking about? | ||
| One day soon. | ||
| One day soon they will. | ||
| In this scenario, he's almost even providing the roadmap for why his reasoning is wrong. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| So, Kurt wants to ask Alex about the trillionaires. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And what their belief system is. | ||
| Why? | ||
| And such. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| The thing, my whole rabbit hole I just want to go down is like, okay, at the very tippity top, or whoever, like, I assume it's trillionaires. | ||
| I assume above the billionaires there are trillionaires. | ||
| Yeah, the real money cigarette. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And what, like, what is their sign top? | ||
| I want to know what their Xenu is. | ||
| Like, is their Xenu the lizards? | ||
| Like, the story where they, there is no Xenu. | ||
| No, I can tell you, because they don't make jokes about it. | ||
| They believe they're interfacing, like at Skull and Bones, they believe they are interfacing with Greek gods. | ||
| They go through all these rituals to then be influenced or possessed by it. | ||
| And that's because their internal animals got leaked by Charlotte Iserby, whose dad was an high-level member. | ||
| And it's on record. | ||
| It's real. | ||
| Will you say that last thing? | ||
| Your internal mammals got leaked by who? | ||
| By Charlotte Iserby, whose dad was high-level Skull and Bones. | ||
| She was the former head of the Department of Education. | ||
| And she's dead now. | ||
| I used to interview her all the time. | ||
| But the point was, and she gave the animals to Anthony Sutton, the head archivist at the Senate. | ||
| The Frank Church Committee hearings all came out of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, I didn't know that. | |
| And the whole shadow government. | ||
| It was a bunch of documents. | ||
| Skull and bones was one part of it. | ||
| When her dad died of cancer, she gave it to him. | ||
| And the point is that these guys literally believe they're channelers. | ||
| Then they get DMT. | ||
| And they have groups of people up to 50 having the same experience now with DMT where they're all seeing the aliens. | ||
| They have to go to ritual sites. | ||
| Those are like gateway portal points while they built them there. | ||
| The ancients knew this. | ||
| And they're like in Peru and places. | ||
| And so they are literally seeing them. | ||
| That's why I've never taken it. | ||
| Oh yeah, I took it. | ||
| I don't know how real it is. | ||
| Alex doesn't need to take it because he has sleep apnea, as you recall, so he takes DMT every night. | ||
| Yes, yes, because he doesn't have enough oxygen to his brain. | ||
| Right, but apparently he had that fixed, and then maybe it hasn't been fixed. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| So yeah, they worship Greek gods, and they channel... | ||
| Zeus. | ||
| I think we all can, like, I think there's a way to relate to this in a way that makes better sense, right? | ||
| You know anybody who has way too much of something? | ||
| Their Xenu is that thing. | ||
| You know, like, oh, what's a trillionaire Xenu? | ||
| Aha! | ||
| Money! | ||
| The end. | ||
| Well, but that's where it gets fun. | ||
| Because once you have enough money... | ||
| You no longer care about money. | ||
| But you see, that's where we are making the mistake. | ||
| You know people who have too much stuff in their house? | ||
| They don't suddenly stop caring about getting more stuff. | ||
| They still want more stuff. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It's the desire for stuff that they want. | ||
| But how does Hera fit into this? | ||
| That is a really good question. | ||
| And what of Hephaestus? | ||
| Okay, well, he's building, obviously, he's one of the three senators who made the Fed, because he had to... | ||
| Right, with his hammer. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, that's where the money plates come from. | ||
| See, I'm not sure if this was what Charlotte Izzerbeet's information had. | ||
| I think she just had, like, a roster of people who were members of Skull and Bones from her. | ||
| I think this might be a little bit of a, hey, we've got a magical trove of information here that we can just point to, and it proves everything that we want to... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, it feels like when Wiley used to run off the cliff, he could have just kept running. | ||
| Could have. | ||
| Could have just kept running. | ||
| Don't need another cliff on the other side, just need to keep going. | ||
| Just keep saying, Charlotte is her beat, gave it to Anthony Sutton. | ||
| So, Kurt does mention that he's done DMT. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| He talks about that a little bit, and it's just kind of a DMT experience. | ||
| Yeah, I did drugs. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You've done drugs? | ||
| My mind was different. | ||
| There's nothing really that I leave as impacted as Alex's talk of the 100-foot-tall mantis. | ||
| There is that. | ||
| So, I don't care. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But Alex does say something I think is a little strange here in this next clip. | ||
| It's like a pareidolia where you could see patterns and things. | ||
| I think that's how a brain works. | ||
| It's a big mess. | ||
| You know, you don't see reality. | ||
| That's just science. | ||
| And then your perception is like you making pictures out of the big mess. | ||
| Well, that's it. | ||
| But, I mean, look, they can take chickens. | ||
| This is when they end up with ducks. | ||
| They can do ten generations in just a couple years. | ||
| And they put them in a warehouse where none of the chickens or ducks have ever been outside. | ||
| And it's like a 50-foot wall. | ||
| And if they project a triangle flying over, nobody cares. | ||
| And if they do the scream of a hawk, they don't care. | ||
| But if they do the image of a hawk and the scream of a hawk, they all run into the coop screaming. | ||
| They've never seen a hawk, but they know what a hawk is and they know what it sounds like. | ||
| See, that's the ancestral memory. | ||
| The ancestral memory is we're not just a seafaring people. | ||
| We're a spacefaring people. | ||
| We were seated here. | ||
| We used to be spacefaring people. | ||
| You understand? | ||
| And that's our ancestral memory. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| I think also Alex is a little wrong, or a little bit off on the details about this duck experiment. | ||
| One, I would like to know how you get ten generations of ducks in only a couple of years. | ||
| That suggests to me that Alex is describing some sort of quick aging technology that allows an entire life cycle of a duck to hang out. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So that's fine. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| But if you are going to say to me, aha. | ||
| We were a space-faring people. | ||
| This is our ancestral memory. | ||
| Then I say to you, please stop telling me you're a Christian. | ||
| Throw your Bible away. | ||
| Please. | ||
| Because go back to space. | ||
| Well, you can make it work. | ||
| Can you? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Where? | ||
| Somehow. | ||
| Metaphor? | ||
| When God created the lights and the stars, were we out there? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| That's how we... | ||
| It was a long day. | ||
| It was a long day. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So usually I have one more clip here because I just... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't find Kurt Metzger's interview that interesting, honestly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| If I see an article that says some enemy has a fantastic weapon, then I know we have that weapon because there's no way. | ||
| You just know. | ||
| You know for sure. | ||
| I was like, China wants our chips. | ||
| They're 20 years ahead. | ||
| Yeah, China... | ||
| That's another question. | ||
| How do the U.S. get so far ahead? | ||
| And that's the other thing. | ||
| So, I'm glad you brought that up. | ||
| I'll tell you, it's done through channeling. | ||
| So, well, anything you create is channeling. | ||
| Anything I've ever created was channeling. | ||
| I mean, I don't know, like, I didn't think it was Hermes coming to visit me, but I always feel if I did good work, it was channeled. | ||
| It always feels like that. | ||
| It feels like my consciousness took back. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You connect and you're like, whoa, I was just giving this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All the time I'm driving along, it's like... | ||
| Like, go tell people this is happening and then it comes true. | ||
| Yeah, well... | ||
| I'm not even thinking about it. | ||
| I'm like, go say this. | ||
| So that's how Alex arrives at most of his conclusions? | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I just... | ||
| I don't... | ||
| I don't find interviews with comedians that interesting. | ||
| For the most part. | ||
| For one, I don't know what Kurt really has to bring to the table outside of... | ||
| Sort of aggressive thoughts, and I don't know how much is, like, because there are instances where he's very clearly trying to be funny. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I don't know how much to take seriously of stuff that's like, no, I'm a fucking, I'm making a joke. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so, I don't know. | ||
| I kind of tune out a little bit. | ||
| I don't want to, like, here's the thing with comics and that kind of stuff. | ||
| Like, you can run the risk of being the, like, hey, funny man, be funny. | ||
| That kind of thing. | ||
| You're not allowed to be a whole person in that kind of thing. | ||
| To me, though, if you're doing an interview, you're there as a job. | ||
| I'm there in the function of comedy. | ||
| That kind of thing. | ||
| So I'm there to do comedy. | ||
| I think he's more there as Jimmy Dore's co-host. | ||
| So then in that case, it's like, shut up. | ||
| Do what you're supposed to do and shut up. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I mean, there were just long stretches where I just was kind of like, all right, they're still talking. | ||
| They're still just sort of having a rap session about cultural grievances that they're upset about. | ||
| And I don't know. | ||
| It just didn't do it for me. | ||
| And I was really hoping that Matt Bracken would show up because I thought that would be fun. | ||
| I thought, you know, at least he'd bring something weird to the table. | ||
| And yeah, I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, you know, I would imagine that if it was like 1955, right? | ||
| Edward R. Murrow is in his old-fashioned car driving to the one TV studio in the country, you know, doing that whole thing. | ||
| I can't imagine him being like, oh, I'm just going to say that later. | ||
| I don't think that's how it works. | ||
| I don't think it's how it's supposed to work. | ||
| Channels his news coverage. | ||
| I'm going to say that later, and I bet it'll come true. | ||
| That is not good. | ||
| I think that's kind of the work process of how you end up in a situation where the first half of your show is trying to make this boat. | ||
| Crash seem incredibly suspicious. | ||
| And then just sort of letting it peter out a little bit. | ||
| Ah, give it up about halfway through. | ||
| And then interviewing a comedian for an hour. | ||
| It's a strange ride, too, you know, like in terms of this show, because it starts, and obviously the biggest news is the bridge collapsing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And Alex is... | ||
| Throwing suspicion around. | ||
| Brings in General Flynn almost immediately to have that pageant there at the beginning. | ||
| Wants to take all these calls from seafaring people. | ||
| From sea professionals. | ||
| Again, I prefer. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| A number of them are just gossip nonsense. | ||
| With no grounding whatsoever. | ||
| And then some experts who are like, this is an accident. | ||
| And then Kurt Metzger. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a strange... | |
| Nothing really is that important. | ||
| And you could have really... | ||
| The value of the show is almost confined to this one caller who's like... | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| There's reason to believe that this is an accident. | ||
| There's not anything necessarily nefarious behind it. | ||
| I'm trying to be rational, he said repeatedly. | ||
| Outside of that, this kind of... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It just feels like a waste of everyone's time. | |
| You know what's amazing about it? | ||
| All right. | ||
| Is that in the middle, he's like, there's a 50-50 chance we're staying on air. | ||
| And this show is great evidence of like, how did you make it this long? | ||
| How are you still on air? | ||
| Right. | ||
| How were you ever on air? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I feel like, I don't know. | ||
| It seems like there could have been a bridge guest or something. | ||
| I would have, yeah. | ||
| Not Mike Flynn? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, a boat and a bridge guests seem like they would make the most sense, and, you know, both of them would have their own respective expertise, and then we could kind of come to an idea of how things are built. | ||
| See, that's what the news does. | ||
| Oh, there's so many interesting things about the way bridges are built. | ||
| Do you know how interesting it is to build a bridge in the first place? | ||
| They don't build the middle first. | ||
| You can't. | ||
| I didn't hear any of this. | ||
| Yeah, I didn't hear this either. | ||
| So, we come to the end of this, and I, uh, yeah. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I was kind of, you know, I was interested in hearing what Alex's coverage of the bridge was, because I thought there would be a much harder swing towards a conspiracy in the immediate of this happening, because it's a tragic event, and there's a lot of attention that's affixed to it. | ||
| And instead, it's a little bit lukewarm, with the exception of the time that he spends with Mike Flynn, which is pretty, they know a lot during that period of time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But yeah, we'll see how things develop and we'll see what comes next. | ||
| Yeah, it's hard to believe that you can be so confident of terrorism basis and then an hour later be like, well, yep, guess it was an accident. | ||
| Well, it's definitely, you know, maybe we're not confident that it's terrorism, but we're confident that... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Could be. | |
| We should really suggest that. | ||
| Yes, exactly. | ||
| Anyway, we'll be back, 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 as a knowledge right. | ||
| Yep, we'll be back. | ||
| But until then, I'm Neil, I'm Neil, I'm DZX Clark, skitty-doo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo. | ||
| Woo, yeah, woo, yeah, woo! | ||
| And now, here comes the sex robots. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air, thanks for holding. | ||
| Hello, Alex, I'm a first-time caller, I'm a huge fan, I love your work. |
