unidentified
I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys saying we are...
Fight.
alex jones
I need.
unidentified
I need money.
Andy in Kansas.
alex jones
Stop it.
Andy in Kansas.
You're on the Earth.
unidentified
I'm a fan.
I'm a huge fan.
I love your world.
Knowledge Fight.
I love you.
One, two, three.
That's it.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
jordan holmes
I have no idea what you're doing.
I have no idea what the fuck just happened right now.
dan friesen
You just got Matt Damon, my man.
jordan holmes
You just got Matt Damon?
Oh, I thought we were starting the show, but now I'm having a fever dream.
dan friesen
We just got Matt Damon.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
It happens.
Hey, everybody!
Welcome to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
unidentified
I'm Jordan!
dan friesen
We are a couple of dudes who like to travel around the East Coast, sit around and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
Jordan.
jordan holmes
Dan, I have a quick question for you, sir.
dan friesen
What's up?
jordan holmes
What's your bright spot today?
dan friesen
Why don't you go first?
jordan holmes
Well, I'll tell you what, Dan.
My bright spot just happened earlier tonight.
dan friesen
Oh, he's up.
jordan holmes
I'm not joking.
I'm going to tell you this because I...
dan friesen
I also have made the mistake that we told ourselves we would not do, and I have already leaned backwards.
jordan holmes
Yeah, basically.
He's going to be asleep in 20 minutes.
This is no good.
No, no, no.
So here's what happens.
Because this is really important to me.
This is really important to me.
So we were in backstage.
I don't know if you guys saw Ryan.
I don't know if anybody came in.
Ryan's great.
Please give another round of applause for Ryan.
So Ryan and Dan go way, way back.
So they've been in the green room chatting like old buddies.
What's Jordan been doing?
Pacing.
Pacing the hallway.
Himself, just going, uh!
What's Jordan doing?
Now, when Ryan goes onstage, Dan comes out, he looks me right in the eyes, and he says, I just want to make sure you don't think I was neglecting you.
Do you know why?
Because we love each other!
dan friesen
And maybe the best part about this, too, is that we got caught.
We got caught in that moment, too.
unidentified
We did.
dan friesen
We had to explain ourselves.
jordan holmes
Julie walked up and was like, are you guys okay?
dan friesen
We're fine.
Yeah, we're good.
jordan holmes
That's my bright spot.
What's your bright spot?
dan friesen
Man, I can't top it.
jordan holmes
Ah, you can't top it!
dan friesen
Nah, I can't.
So, on this tour, we've been taking a lot of means of conveyance around.
We've flown, we've taken trains, and today we took the ferry!
unidentified
We did!
How's that for New York for you, huh?
dan friesen
We took the ferry.
That was really exciting.
I was blown away by how short it is.
jordan holmes
I swear to God.
We were both in this New York movie mode where if you get on the ferry, you stand on the edge and look into the middle distance for like an hour while you wonder if fucking Ethan Hawke is going to show up later.
dan friesen
It's a time for contemplation and it took a minute.
jordan holmes
We were just there.
Then we had to keep walking.
dan friesen
It sucked.
I did get to overhear somebody on the ferry ask for booze, and then be like, we don't have booze on the ferry.
unidentified
And it wasn't me this time.
dan friesen
And then we were walking here, and we walked past somewhere.
There is a building, or maybe, I don't know if it's a neighborhood or what, but it's called Wack-Off Gardens.
unidentified
What the hell is going on here?
dan friesen
I had to Google that backstage to make sure I didn't make it up.
We walked past it.
Anyway, I'm moving there.
jordan holmes
We wound up having a long conversation about Blink-182 because of it.
dan friesen
That is true.
jordan holmes
So, Wack Off Gardens has brought us all some joy.
dan friesen
And I guess this is growing up.
jordan holmes
I'm going to need that to deal with your continuing music.
dan friesen
I was going to do that whole guitar leg.
unidentified
I don't care.
I believe you.
dan friesen
So, Jordan.
jordan holmes
Yes, Dan.
dan friesen
I believe we have an episode to do here for these fine people.
jordan holmes
About what?
dan friesen
I believe it was our intention to talk somewhat about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah, that's right!
That's what we do!
dan friesen
Talk a little bit about a day in the life.
A little bit of history.
unidentified
Alright.
dan friesen
So we got a date that we're going to be covering.
We're going to be covering August 12th, 2009.
jordan holmes
2009?
That wasn't even a year!
Why did everybody ooh?
What happened to 45% of you that makes 2009 an ooh year?
dan friesen
What's funny is that that is kind of a normal reaction.
Like, you're saying a date and everyone's like, oh.
It's like ominous no matter what.
jordan holmes
Anytime you say any date, it is filled with portent.
dan friesen
So there's a lot of great things about New York, obviously.
I wanted to try and choose a date that was very special for the folks here.
There's a lot of famous people from New York.
Could have chosen a number of birthdays of famous people.
I tried a few.
It didn't work.
All the episodes of Alex's show sucked on various celebrity birthday dates.
So I wasn't able to do it.
And I realized that there's a couple of through lines through the tour stops that we're making.
One of them, as we pointed out, is a tour of areas and towns that have notable regional accents.
jordan holmes
Indeed.
dan friesen
So we got Baltimore.
jordan holmes
Boston.
dan friesen
New York.
Philly.
jordan holmes
New York.
dan friesen
Toronto.
I guess Toronto's...
jordan holmes
Do they count as...
Okay.
dan friesen
Probably.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But then I also realized that a couple of these cities...
Used to be the capital of the United States.
jordan holmes
That is true!
dan friesen
New York has a lot of stuff going for it.
It's the Big Apple, probably the most important city in the world.
Biggest city.
Some local people like their city.
jordan holmes
I'm interested in the varied reaction there.
People are like, I don't know if I trust them to like New York the right way.
dan friesen
There's some indifference and I think probably skepticism that I was about to pull a rug out.
unidentified
This fucker from Chicago is going to lie to us.
dan friesen
But yeah, what New York is not is the capital of the United States.
That is definitely true.
Although you were for a bit.
jordan holmes
How long?
dan friesen
And August 12th, 1790 was the last day that New York was the capital of the United States.
unidentified
Okay.
jordan holmes
I understand how exciting this is for our show, and I want to hear what Alex Jones has to say on this random day that he has no idea what it's important about.
dan friesen
No, no, no, no.
This whole show is about how New Yorkers know...
jordan holmes
You're shitting me!
Of course!
Oh, God damn it!
I just want to know about the last day.
I'm so interested now in the last day that New York was the capital of the United States.
dan friesen
People were wandering down the street with sad trombones.
Was it like zombies?
jordan holmes
Was it like 28 days later?
What is going on?
unidentified
God damn it, Philly's getting it again?
jordan holmes
Did somebody get into a fight over it?
You have to get into a fight, right?
dan friesen
I'm sure a lot of people got into a fight over it.
But it was all very polite fighting.
Back then, I assume, right?
Gentlemanly stuff.
jordan holmes
We duel with guns.
dan friesen
We duel at dawn, Philly.
It's nuts, man.
I didn't realize that Philly was the capital, and then it became Newark, and then New York, then Philly again.
We were very indecisive for a while.
But anyway, we're celebrating the anniversary of the last day that New York was the capital of the United States.
jordan holmes
Is anything haunted because of this?
dan friesen
Is anything haunted or is everything haunted?
jordan holmes
Those are both two great questions.
dan friesen
I'm going to answer the second affirmatively.
Okay, all right.
jordan holmes
Well, I think that answers the first, too.
dan friesen
So do you have any thoughts about what could be going on on this episode?
In 2009?
End of summer?
jordan holmes
Okay, end of summer.
So the summer of rage has just ended.
Alright, we're into the fall of our discomfort.
unidentified
Ennui.
jordan holmes
Yeah, we've got our autumn ennui.
Right, right.
dan friesen
That is much better.
jordan holmes
And then our winter willies.
It's so cold!
dan friesen
That's Chicago stuff.
It's real cold there.
jordan holmes
And Catholic stuff.
dan friesen
So no?
jordan holmes
Take your time.
No, I have no idea.
dan friesen
Well...
You could never have guessed this anyway, so let's jump in.
Here is where we begin on August 12th, 2009.
alex jones
One of the top stories since last night.
It is all over TV, all over radio, exactly as we had planned.
That's the reason I did the whole Joker bit.
It's today.
Too seriously sometimes.
I did it to promote the contest.
And I did tell people last week and on the Sunday show and yesterday, please put it in the commons area, light polls, telephone polls, in the bar districts, on the bulletin boards.
Don't do anything uncivil.
Check your local laws.
dan friesen
Check the laws.
jordan holmes
Check your local laws.
dan friesen
Don't do illegal shit.
jordan holmes
I saw on our way here, there were a bunch of like, no pump signs.
What are they, what is it called?
I have no idea.
unidentified
Post no bills!
jordan holmes
Post no bills!
That's not words!
Post no bills!
dan friesen
Post yes bills!
That's what I say.
jordan holmes
Agreed.
dan friesen
That's what Alex says, too.
jordan holmes
That's what we can all get behind.
dan friesen
So to give a little bit of context of what's going on here, somebody somewhere had started putting up flyers of Obama as the Joker.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And so Alex is like, I'm going to fucking capitalize on this.
It's going to be great.
jordan holmes
Naturally.
dan friesen
So he started a contest where he was paying people to put up these flyers around of Obama as the Joker.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
And now he's like, I told you to follow the law, and we got a lot of publicity.
Yeah, it was a great idea.
Alex is just riding high on the wave of Obama Joker posters that are being posted.
jordan holmes
What a simpler time.
dan friesen
It was.
jordan holmes
It was.
This was like pre-Gamergate.
People were just like, oh, Obama looks like he's wearing makeup.
This was pre-Brown Suit Obama.
dan friesen
I actually did try to find if Alex had a take on Tan Suitgate.
jordan holmes
On the Tan Suitgate?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I was unable to find his coverage of that, although I'm sure it's somewhat...
It was probably on the nightly news.
He probably didn't cover that on the main show.
jordan holmes
I'm sure.
dan friesen
So these posters of Obama as the Joker, they're being put up everywhere.
Everywhere!
So now let's enjoy Alex listing off cities.
alex jones
The media is saying it's an act of vandalism, an act of terrorism, and they get to whine and suck their thumbs out of...
Hundreds of cities.
I mean, we're talking Belfast, Ireland, London, England, Sheffield, England, Moscow, Russia, Tokyo, Japan, San Antonio, Texas, Dallas, Texas, San Diego, Los Angeles, Seattle, Kansas City, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Indiana.
jordan holmes
We've taken a turn.
alex jones
Everywhere.
I mean, the videos are pouring in, hundreds of them.
And I'd say 98% of the videos, I've seen a couple.
Wait, what?
98% looked at the contest rules and are following them, haven't been too overzealous.
You're putting them on power poles, common areas, hanging them up over other broadsheets.
That's what I said.
Hang them up in those high-traffic areas.
And so when they try to whine and suck their thumb and say, you need to be arrested, you can go, oh, did you call for arresting all these rock and roll posters?
jordan holmes
Right?
alex jones
Church posters and broadsheets and local ads for the...
Five and dime or the swap meet or the flea market or the lost cat or the lost dog.
dan friesen
I get it.
I get it.
jordan holmes
You cannot put those posters up.
unidentified
Are you anti-rock?
dan friesen
Do you not want people to find their dogs?
Sir, how dare you?
He's very...
He's pretty defensive about this.
That's kind of the vibe.
He thinks he's going to be arrested for putting up these signs.
Spoiler alert, he does not get arrested.
What's up?
jordan holmes
You know what?
dan friesen
My name is too close to dammit.
Because that's what I thought was happening.
jordan holmes
I like how the list started so global.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
It was all over the place.
unidentified
Tokyo, Japan.
jordan holmes
And then it was mostly in Indiana.
dan friesen
I also like that he was like, London, England.
And then he remembered Paul Joseph Watson lives in Sheffield.
PJW lives there.
He probably pulled one up.
jordan holmes
Oh, that's right.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Rolla, Missouri.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
What?
Silver Dollar City.
unidentified
Oh.
dan friesen
What?
jordan holmes
Egypt, Missouri.
dan friesen
Cairo.
It's spelled like Cairo, but they pronounce it Cairo.
jordan holmes
Eh, it's the same thing.
dan friesen
So Alex has these flyers that he's put up, and he's very defensive about the fact that he's going to get arrested for this.
Although he's not.
And so he waxes a little bit poetic about how the nails and the staples that put up these posters are beautiful.
jordan holmes
Wait, what?
alex jones
We posted a bunch of these photos.
You can just Google handbills on wall or flyers on power pole or light pole.
You'll get thousands of images.
You've all seen them.
I mean, what?
What poll, what wooden poll in a town or city doesn't have...
I knew, because I always thought it was almost a work of art, I knew that when I said, when I googled nails in telephone polls...
jordan holmes
What is happening?
alex jones
That it would be art.
That photographers, because I've seen it many times and thought, that looks like a work of art.
All these thousands of individual diverse nails, different types, nailed in different ways, some crooked, some straight, old pieces of metal ripped off, staples.
unidentified
Is he talking to people so much?
alex jones
in South Austin on Old Torf.
unidentified
This is a work of art.
Wait, what?
alex jones
This morning when I called Watson up and I said, I'm going to send you some images of people that have taken photographs of nails as art.
I mean, people put so many posters up, so many broadsheets up that from eight feet in the air down to two feet in the air on the side of the pole, it's just solid nails and staples.
And I think it's kind of pretty.
And I'm glad other people think the same thing.
It doesn't matter anymore.
I'm going to be arrested because I try to be artistic.
dan friesen
I don't know if you all heard that, but at the end he said, maybe I'll be arrested because I'm too artistic.
jordan holmes
That was one of the stranger things I've ever heard a human being do.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Because at first I was walking along with it going, oh, this is a man who's just aesthetically appreciating.
Posters.
Which I think we've all done.
I've seen the Tate Museum.
There's been those cool punk posters.
Stuff like that.
And then he turns into like, I'm going to fuck that pole.
I'm going to fuck that pole.
That pole is hot!
dan friesen
And I'm turned on by the nails and staples.
jordan holmes
Two feet to eight feet.
Six feet of greatness.
unidentified
Right?
dan friesen
So almost all of the time on this show is spent on this stuff.
This is a very, very important bit.
He's getting a lot of publicity from it.
He's self-conscious and thinks he's going to be arrested.
He wants to tell people, you put up rock posters.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Stop being mean.
Also, I'd like to address this.
I'm a sweaty dude.
If you see me sweating, don't worry.
I'm not going to have a heart attack or anything.
Just to get ahead of this.
jordan holmes
It's a good idea.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
So we jump off this topic and we get to do something else.
And Alex has a guest that he's going to be having on, which is pretty exciting.
I think this sounds pretty exciting.
alex jones
And then there's the whole hypocritic area, the hypocritical area, the hypocritical angle.
You can show Bush is a vampire, a demon, a devil, a joker.
That's fine.
We even found old clip art where they'd had programs hanging him up on power poles.
That's okay.
But no, they're on the news saying we need to be arrested.
Oh, yes, sir.
You don't hang up our Lord, our Savior, Barack H. Obama.
We'll go over all this, play some of the news clips, tell you about all the big guests we got live today, like Steve Quayle.
And we got the fella that made the big stir with the gun outside the Obama event.
He's coming on.
jordan holmes
Wait.
unidentified
Wait, wait, wait.
dan friesen
It's quite a credit.
jordan holmes
If I understand correctly.
The credit that this man is given is he was outside of an Obama event waving a gun around.
dan friesen
Well, he caused quite a stir.
jordan holmes
What is that?
dan friesen
With a gun at an Obama event.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
dan friesen
So, I think Alex, you know, he could have had an alright angle with the hypocrisy thing if he was actually facing any consequences for people putting up those Obama posters.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Or if people also didn't complain about the anti-Bush ones.
The hypocrisy angle would be good, but it's unfortunately not real.
But, this guy, he made a stir outside the Obama event with a gun.
jordan holmes
I think you could make a stir outside of any event with a gun.
I would strongly suggest that guns make a stir at all events.
dan friesen
It's very sturdy.
jordan holmes
Any event involving a gun is also being stirred by said gun.
dan friesen
We should just call guns whisks.
jordan holmes
I got my cooking tools.
dan friesen
So, fun fact, in this week in American history, you would actually need to be more specific about who you're talking about.
unidentified
God bless America.
dan friesen
There were two dudes who made a stir with guns at Obama events on the same day in New Hampshire.
Obama was set to do a speech at Portsmouth High School, and a 62-year-old dude named Richard Terry Young was found in the school hours before the event was set to begin, having snuck in without a ticket because he, quote, wanted to hear what Obama had to say.
He was picked up by the Secret Service, and it turns out he had a loaded gun in his car.
jordan holmes
I want video of that interview.
dan friesen
I just want to hear him out.
jordan holmes
I just wanted to hear what he had to say!
dan friesen
Yeah, so he got picked up by the Secret Service, and he got convicted of trespassing and carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, but wildly didn't do any time.
It turns out you can just sort of walk on that one.
jordan holmes
All right!
dan friesen
Seems nuts.
So Alex's guest is the other guy at that event who made a stir with a gun.
jordan holmes
Right.
Right.
dan friesen
This is a guy named William Kostrick.
It's perfectly legal to carry a gun openly in New Hampshire.
So Kostrick did that outside the Obama event while carrying a sign that said, it's time to water the tree of liberty.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
Which I think we can understand is a veiled death threat.
jordan holmes
I'm going to throw this out there.
You would have to put a veil on it for that to be a veiled death threat.
dan friesen
That's a fair point.
jordan holmes
That's more of just a, I want to murder that guy.
According to TJ.
dan friesen
It's probably within the realm of free speech, but like, come on, let's not pretend we don't understand.
unidentified
The probably realm!
dan friesen
So, he didn't get arrested or anything because he was on private property with his sign and all that, but he did end up going on Hardball where Chris Matthews yelled at him.
So he's continuing his press tour a little bit by going on Alex's show.
jordan holmes
Okay, I'm starting to lose my mind a little bit because I don't understand time.
I don't understand how you can be like, I'm going to murder the president!
You can't catch me over here!
dan friesen
I'm on the grass.
jordan holmes
But then you can go on TV and be like, I wasn't going to murder the president.
You have to be both!
dan friesen
Yeah, you've got to be one or the other.
jordan holmes
That's infuriating!
dan friesen
Do you want to hear a little bit of Chris Matthews yelling at him?
unidentified
Yes!
Okay.
dan friesen
Here is that.
unidentified
Okay, you brought a sign that said the Tree of Liberty has to be watered with the blood of tyrants, and you're carrying a goddamn gun at a presidential event.
I think those things make people wonder what you're about.
dan friesen
Right, the sign didn't say anything about blood.
unidentified
What did it say?
dan friesen
It's time to water the Tree of Liberty.
unidentified
And where did that come from, that line?
dan friesen
It's a quote from Thomas Jefferson.
unidentified
And what's the rest of the line?
The rest of the line is for people to look up.
It's not a soundbite.
dan friesen
They need to understand the contract.
unidentified
What's the last one line from Jefferson?
The chair of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of tyrants and patriots.
Okay, well, you're carrying a gun and you're carrying that sign.
And you don't think people should worry about you?
dan friesen
No, I don't think people should worry about me.
I'm cool.
You're carrying that sign and you're carrying a gun at a presidential event?
Do you think people might think you're a weirdo?
No, I'm good.
unidentified
I'm good.
jordan holmes
Alright, so I'm holding a weapon to shoot with, and I'm holding a sign that says, Whom to shoot.
Now, why are people so confused about my intentions?
unidentified
This is about peace.
dan friesen
He's a cool dude.
We're not going to listen to any of his interviews because it's boring as shit.
jordan holmes
Oh yeah?
He didn't have anything more...
Actually, that's the worst part, right?
Because you see that interview, right?
You hear that guy go like, oh, people should look it up.
Because he doesn't have the fucking balls.
dan friesen
To just own that what he's saying is like...
jordan holmes
I want to kill the president!
dan friesen
That is true.
jordan holmes
You know what's an interesting interview?
dan friesen
What's that?
jordan holmes
I want to kill the president!
dan friesen
But that's why Chris Matthews was trying to pull that out.
Like, come on, man.
What's the rest of that quote?
jordan holmes
We're going to kill the president.
We all want it.
dan friesen
We're all adults here.
Come on, man.
jordan holmes
The kids have gone to bed.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So, as it turns out, Alex initially thought that this guy was a false flag.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Because it's a little bit on the nose.
jordan holmes
I want to kill the president!
dan friesen
Carrying a gun with that sign is like, this probably is a setup.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And so that was Alex's theory, which he goes on to retract on this episode.
alex jones
And I watched over an hour of television this morning, and I can give you a report on that here in a moment.
Anyways, let me tell you what we've got coming up today.
We have the gentleman coming on.
It's not really a retraction, but it is.
It's a clarification.
We said, maybe a patriot out there down the road, people do wear guns openly, and I think it's a good thing to...
Exercise the Second Amendment, because if you don't exercise it openly and proudly, you lose it.
And I've commended people that do wear firearms openly, which is legal and lawful in almost every state.
But the public's been conditioned that isn't the case, so it's good to break those taboos.
And you've got incredible courage, and I salute you.
But the way Chris Matthews and others were reporting it...
They were acting like there was somebody out there right in the crowd with Obama with a gun.
And I said, if the Secret Service allowed that, this has got to be staged.
And then I saw the earpiece, and the guy was clean cut, and I said, that might be some foundation person or some merc or who knows.
I said, or it may be a patriot.
But then we soon learned from Gary Franchi that he knows the fella and that he was down the road at private property that was putting on a demonstration.
And I just salute him, and he's coming on the last 30 minutes to do it.
unidentified
This merits a retraction.
dan friesen
I talked some shit because he had an earpiece and didn't have a beard.
jordan holmes
The list of things that you could have just said, like, ah, I didn't know the guy.
dan friesen
Look, I speculated a bunch, talked some shit, turned out, nah.
jordan holmes
I've changed my mind, but maybe I'll change it back later.
It's very malleable.
dan friesen
So, Alex has been seeing...
That there are some hate coming his way.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
Because of these posters.
jordan holmes
Not because of all of his life livings.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Mainly because he put a poster of Obama with a little Joker makeup on.
dan friesen
Yeah, and so he decides to read a piece of hate email.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I'm in.
Which is...
Which is a little string.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
I'm getting death threats now, and I'm getting scores of emails.
I mean, we didn't count them.
Probably 50, 60, 70. I don't know.
Going through them.
Here's one from Chanda.
If you...
I think you should be thrown in jail for what you're trying to promote.
unidentified
Sure.
alex jones
He is and still will be the president.
unidentified
Probably.
alex jones
of the United States, and there is nothing that your white supremacist self can do about it.
You are a disgrace to the human race, and I hope Obama puts you and your crew under the jail.
And they say this in two newscasts I have.
In another newscast that was on a Florida station.
I can't find it now.
It's off their main page.
They say it's the most horrible thing they've ever seen and we need to be arrested.
dan friesen
So he's talking about all these news coverages and he's reading an email that someone sent him.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I'm really confused as to what's going on here.
dan friesen
Right, why are you reading this email?
jordan holmes
Yeah, what are these newscasts that he's referencing in an email that they aren't in?
dan friesen
That seems like it's a bigger deal, right?
The newscasts that are being done.
Not reading a random email that he got from somebody.
But I guess that's where we're at.
So, in addition to demonizing Alex about these posters, we got other people who are being demonized.
Like somebody who's currently in jail for seditious conspiracy.
unidentified
Wow!
dan friesen
They're trying to overthrow the government.
alex jones
This is the big Southern Poverty Law Center report.
And who do they come after?
Who are they worried about?
They're worried about...
Former Campaign for Liberty, high-level person, military veteran, special forces officer, Stuart Rose of Oakkeepers, because he's real.
I've sent people to the meetings.
We've met with them.
These guys are real.
It's real.
They're professional.
They're serious.
They're focused.
The establishment is scared to death that we're going to reach out to the military and police and wake them up just to follow the Bill of Rights and Constitution.
dan friesen
It sounds like they were right to be worried about that.
jordan holmes
I do.
dan friesen
Come back to 2009.
People are worried about Stuart Rhodes.
Good.
alex jones
Right on.
dan friesen
Time has shown.
jordan holmes
Oh, boy.
It almost feels like Stuart Rhodes read the email as a dare.
unidentified
Like, what can you and your white supremacist ass do about it?
dan friesen
Wait a second.
I've got a team.
steve quayle
Let's do this.
dan friesen
They're all demonizing him.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Everybody, all these patriots across the board are being demonized.
And this can only mean one thing.
Not that they're all up to no good.
jordan holmes
No, sure.
dan friesen
And deserve criticism.
Right.
It's that there are false flags coming.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And Alex has some predictions.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
So they are pre-scripting all of this, and I've been saying all week, they have got to stage terror attacks now.
jordan holmes
They've got to.
alex jones
And their agenda's dead.
And so I've been telling people, get ready for this.
We're now seeing the preparatory phase.
As they prep the public that this is going to happen.
And so get ready.
We've got to get the word out now, like I did two months before 9-11, that they are getting ready to stage something.
unidentified
I'm sorry to the feds that your bosses are going to bomb you.
We're trying to stop you.
dan friesen
I think that Alex had visions.
I think he had visions and he's just not telling people.
And then those visions didn't come true.
You alright there?
jordan holmes
Sorry, I just love the idea of being like, hey, we gotta warn people about this thing.
9-11.
Because we stopped it last time.
dan friesen
He had prophetic dreams.
jordan holmes
Listen, if we warn people like we did 9-11...
unidentified
Ta-da.
jordan holmes
Oh, God.
dan friesen
See, it turns out that...
Warning people on the radio in advance only works with fake things.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And so it worked in this case.
He stopped whatever plot he was imagining.
jordan holmes
But not 9-11.
dan friesen
Nope.
Didn't stop that one.
alex jones
Right.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Nope.
jordan holmes
Jesus Christ.
dan friesen
So we got Steve Quayle coming on.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Steve Quayle, for those who may not remember, he's a real weirdo.
Yep.
jordan holmes
Classic.
Classic weirdo.
dan friesen
He is.
And he's a prophet.
According to Alex.
And he's written some books about biblical giants.
jordan holmes
The Nephilim.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
I love a good Neph.
Is that racist against a mythical creature?
alex jones
Probably.
jordan holmes
I think so.
dan friesen
So Steve comes on and the two of them just kind of riff back and forth a little bit about how there's big terror attacks coming.
Because they probably both had visions.
They're both prophets.
steve quayle
We are now at a full-scale red alert.
There are too many things happening.
There are too many activities happening.
alex jones
Steve, stay there.
I agree with you.
I mean, I've been saying get ready for them to demonize the militias.
That's in preparation for stage terror attacks.
Ladies and gentlemen, what are you now seeing?
We are entering the vortex right now.
dan friesen
We were in the vortex!
jordan holmes
God damn it!
dan friesen
We didn't even know it!
How terrifying.
jordan holmes
I would...
Here's the problem with our show is that sometimes I pull back way too far and I'm like, somebody needs to put together a clear timeline of how often and when we are or are not in the vortex.
But here's the problem then.
We have people who dream of such...
And I cannot wish that into the world.
Do not discover when or when we are not in the vortex.
dan friesen
I'm terrified of a chart.
Some sort of a graph.
unidentified
The grand unifying theory of the vortex.
jordan holmes
I like it.
dan friesen
I honestly think we're constantly in and out of it.
It's like Schrodinger's vortex.
Last night at the show, we wrestled with whether or not we're individuals or a collective.
jordan holmes
It was intense.
dan friesen
It's been a fucking heady trip so far.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So Steve and Alex believe that if enough people repent, then they can avert whatever terror attack is going to happen?
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
That's what Steve thinks anyway.
jordan holmes
So if enough people decide that they have sinned and they will no longer sin, like, let's repent.
Let's define repent.
Because I feel like they get to say, oh, if enough people repent without actually defining what it is enough people need to do.
Does that mean if we get 30,000 people to get on their knees and be like, I suck, then it doesn't happen?
unidentified
Give me a number!
dan friesen
Steve, I think you'd take 30,000.
jordan holmes
30,000's a great number.
I mean, we're doing alright.
I don't think any of y 'all are going to repent for shit.
I want you to!
Alright.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
So, that goes on for a while.
And despite the fact that they're saying everyone's got to repent, Alex doesn't bring up that God gives him visions of the future.
jordan holmes
It seems really weird for the time.
dan friesen
Yeah, 2009.
It's right there for him to bring up, and yet he doesn't.
jordan holmes
Totally.
Just like with 9-11.
dan friesen
So Alex, he makes a little bit of an accidental slip-up here.
And I think I kind of started to figure out why he was so obsessed with this whole poster thing.
jordan holmes
Okay, okay.
alex jones
You see, when they came out and said it should be illegal to put these up and the person should be arrested a week and a half ago, I said, well, I'm going to stand up with the First Amendment.
We'll put up some free flyers, ask folks to print them up, put them out.
People said you ought to do a contest.
We said, okay, whoever puts up the most in public, legal places, you'll win $1,000.
Second place, $500.
Third place, $200.
And that contest and the rules are up on Infowars.com.
Big banner right there.
And then I started getting demonized by publications and news for it, and now they're saying I need to get arrested.
Not just whoever put them up in Florida, but I need to be arrested.
And it's always some foreigner who can't even speak English saying, I mean, these people make me sick.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, next they'll want to arrest you for this shirt.
We've got to not give in to the chilling effect.
We've got to take action and say no to them and their system.
Because if you don't stand up for something, you will lose it.
On the back, it's got Infowars.com.
jordan holmes
You bet!
alex jones
There's a bunch of different variants.
One just says Infowars.com.
Some say In the Fed.
Some of the t-shirts say Wake Up Before It's Too Late or Stop the Criminal, Infowars.com.
dan friesen
It might be all about selling a shirt.
The whole thing might just be about selling a shirt.
I mean, I'm being a bit racist and xenophobic.
jordan holmes
I'm going to be honest.
There is something a little quick.
I haven't heard it pronounced.
unidentified
Hotrender.
jordan holmes
Long time.
It is a little bit exciting.
I don't understand.
dan friesen
Especially when it's followed immediately with a shirt ad.
unidentified
No, I understand.
jordan holmes
That's the thing about it.
It's like, I do love that, like, ah, they're coming for you!
And that's why you gotta buy the shirt!
dan friesen
Which will probably be a legal-to-wear suit.
jordan holmes
Totally!
That's why they're coming for you.
Wait, so if I don't want them to come for me, I shouldn't buy the shirt, right?
dan friesen
Well, that's what will attract them, too.
jordan holmes
No, you gotta buy the shirt!
dan friesen
What?
Then I'm gonna get arrested.
jordan holmes
Yeah!
dan friesen
I don't want the shirt!
jordan holmes
You get the shirt!
dan friesen
Okay, I'll get the shirt.
Does it say Infowars.com on the back?
jordan holmes
Well, it's in the vortex.
dan friesen
That is a sharp-looking vortex.
unidentified
Yeah, baby.
dan friesen
So Steve is in a very severe mood.
Obviously, if we need to repent, then, you know, that's...
jordan holmes
30,000.
dan friesen
Yeah, so here's where he tells people what they need to be doing.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
It's rough.
It is rough.
steve quayle
I am so absolutely in a period of turmoil because when I say this, you can no longer just go by the information, waiting for more information.
You've got to get prepared.
And I'm telling everybody I know, Alex, I dealt most of yesterday with people telling me they've got to get out of where they're at.
I'm telling people that they'd better start moving now.
If you live east of the Mississippi, you should be looking at mountain places where maybe some old tourist hotels, when I say old tourist hotels that are unoccupied during the fall.
Go in the winter, go up and rent a place.
But get out of where you're at, especially if you've got high visibility.
I can tell you this.
The veterans that have heeded my warning, and there are certain things I don't say publicly that they know that can be validated through their own channels.
A lot of them have already left the country.
dan friesen
They're all out of here.
They're all squatting in some random mountain retreat that's unoccupied at this time of year.
jordan holmes
I understand.
Like, we all know that this is silly, right?
But there's a person out there who thinks that a man is being serious when he says, if you live east of the Mississippi, go break into a random place.
dan friesen
Get out of town.
jordan holmes
In the mountains.
dan friesen
Run!
And you'll be fine.
My military sources, who I'm not going to tell you about.
But trust me, they're cool.
They're all gone already.
So you gotta go.
Into the vortex!
jordan holmes
But like, somebody...
Somebody did it, right?
Somebody did it.
Like, okay, so he said it to a million people.
Or like the 10,000 that were listening at that hour.
Or like the five.
Or it was you.
So you've moved to the woods.
dan friesen
I have an announcement.
I am squatting in a mountain retreat.
That's actually why we took this tour.
He's dropping me off.
jordan holmes
I can't afford you anymore.
dan friesen
It is such a bummer that someone probably did.
jordan holmes
They have to have.
Or no one did and all of this is fake and none of us are real.
Like, right?
Doesn't it have to be one or the other?
Like, either you're real or none of us are.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And it's not me who's real because I would be less sweaty.
jordan holmes
I mean, look at me.
dan friesen
If I could choose.
jordan holmes
It's not me.
dan friesen
So, Steve and Alex, they're talking about the coming false flags and what have you.
And one of the things that they think is going to happen is a bioweapon release.
jordan holmes
Obviously!
dan friesen
Which is suspiciously similar to narratives that we would go on to see a decade and a little bit more afterwards.
jordan holmes
Fifteen years!
Oh, we're so old.
steve quayle
Listen to me.
Right now, they're going to go hot, mean going hot.
I know you and I probably, if there's any place we disagree on, it's the lateness of the hour, okay?
And when I say disagree...
alex jones
No, Steve.
I mean, I just believe we can stop it.
jordan holmes
I know.
Sure.
steve quayle
I would say this.
jordan holmes
Like 9-11.
steve quayle
The powers that be are anticipating the intentional release of the most deadly biological pathogens.
I don't know if the first series of injections...
alex jones
Stay there.
Stay there.
You're saying the intel you've got is they're going hot.
We'll see when.
When we get back.
The word we've got is October.
But if we get the word out, I believe they will take the green light off.
dan friesen
They'd probably just stop it if we talk about this.
jordan holmes
I mean, it feels like it should be a lot harder to just be like, I think they're going to kill all of us tomorrow, right?
dan friesen
Intentional bioweapon.
jordan holmes
Yeah, there should be more build-up than just like, man, I know I've said this yesterday and then the last month and then six years before that and every day until the end of time.
I think they're going to kill us all tomorrow.
dan friesen
And I'm going to keep pretending it's a different thing.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
A slightly different thing that I'm afraid of.
jordan holmes
Because on the back of the shirt is Infowars.com!
dan friesen
Right.
There's a million things that could be on the front to be scared of.
Limitless.
jordan holmes
Yeah, there is no limit.
Babies with one foot.
dan friesen
What?
jordan holmes
Terrifying.
That's because of abortion.
dan friesen
Awful.
jordan holmes
All of you got weird about that.
That was your fault.
dan friesen
So the world is in chaos, obviously.
Steve has bummed us out.
He has told us to head to the hills.
Alex is upset about a poster.
I'm trying to sell a shirt.
What is going on in the world?
It's chaos.
jordan holmes
Now that I think more about Steve Quayle's plan, is this not a Scooby-Doo story?
So these people, they're terrified of an apocalypse that's not coming, go ahead and squat inside of an abandoned tourist destination.
And then whenever the government comes to try and kick them out, they claim that a nuclear bomb is about to go off.
dan friesen
Sure.
Sure.
That's why they had to go out to break, is because Steve was about to start complaining about that dog.
jordan holmes
I thought it was because the Globetrotters were coming in.
dan friesen
It's one or the other.
jordan holmes
Oh, God, I wish those Globetrotters were coming in.
dan friesen
Meadowlark does not show up on Infowars, thankfully.
unidentified
Let's stop the show while I think about Meadowlark for a little bit.
dan friesen
We'll be back in five.
Jordan's going to think about the Globetrotters that were on The Amazing Race.
jordan holmes
We've got to stop.
dan friesen
The world is in chaos, but that does not mean there's not time for commerce.
And this got me very, very excited.
alex jones
For the next five, six minutes, I want to bring our sponsor up, because even though the world is crazy, We need to all continue to go on living and repairing ourselves and trying to save money and also thanking all of our sponsors that make this radio show possible.
And Marty Schachter, World War II vet in the Chemical Corps, came back from World War II with his papa and now with his son and their family 60-plus years later.
What's 47 to 2009?
That's almost 70 years.
It's incredible.
That's almost 80 years!
jordan holmes
Almost!
dan friesen
So we got Marty Schachter.
jordan holmes
Oh, baby!
dan friesen
This is the only place in the world that I could say Marty Schachter and there would be a woo.
jordan holmes
A ripple goes throughout the crowd.
dan friesen
Even from one person.
unidentified
That's...
dan friesen
What have we done?
jordan holmes
What have we done?
dan friesen
We've created a world where people know who Marty Schachter is.
For those who don't know, in case someone got dragged here, he is a guy who makes soap.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Oh, no, no, no.
You think it's going to get better.
dan friesen
It is.
He's a soap maker who's one of Alex's old-time sponsors.
And because Alex couldn't get sponsors back then, he would always...
He would just put up with anything.
And Marty would always make him...
He would force him to let Marty tell a limerick.
jordan holmes
Seriously?
Honestly, over the years, considering how far the bar has been lowered, over the years, like, Marty Schechter has risen above.
dan friesen
He's the best.
jordan holmes
To the point where it is like, I mean, they're not great.
And they're usually offensive.
dan friesen
Very much so.
jordan holmes
But goddammit, I love a limerick.
dan friesen
There's something about just what it means about the world that Alex has to put up with someone doing limericks on his show.
That's delightful to me.
jordan holmes
Is there any other situation where a man has been held hostage by a limerick?
dan friesen
I think some bars on St. Patrick's Day.
No!
jordan holmes
Jesus Christ, John Wayne and the Quiet Man wasn't held this hostage by the Irish.
dan friesen
Well, do you want to hear a man who is that held hostage?
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
All right.
I don't know how this is going to work with an audience.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
But this might be a mic down moment.
unidentified
I might need to leave the stage.
dan friesen
So enjoy Marty Schachter forcing Alex to do a limerick.
unidentified
Here we go.
alex jones
And Marty, it's always great having you pop in here on the show.
Give us today's limerick.
jordan holmes
A wonderful bird is a cricket.
unidentified
He can hold in his beak enough food for a week.
jordan holmes
And I wonder how in the hell he can.
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you.
I want to go home now.
There is no pure.
dan friesen
More misery than that.
Oh, God.
That's good.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
I think maybe you just made it all worth it.
dan friesen
He brought a laughter and clap machine.
I've never heard that.
I've heard Marty Schachter on a number of times doing his limericks.
I've never heard him bring his own sound effects.
unidentified
I was over the moon.
dan friesen
I didn't care about the posters.
I didn't care about anything.
I was like, well, this is the episode.
Marty Schachter came in and did a bird limerick and played his own applause drop.
That's a certain kind of hell.
jordan holmes
There's two things I want to know.
I want to know what it was like when New York City had its last day as the capital of the United States.
unidentified
And I want to know what Marty Schachter was thinking when he was like, oh man.
My own applause machine.
jordan holmes
You already have fucking...
He's torturing a man.
What else could he do?
You can't hurt a man more than bringing an applause machine to an I hate you contest.
dan friesen
I do like the idea that he's doing this intentionally to fuck with us.
unidentified
He's gotta be!
jordan holmes
He's gotta be!
dan friesen
The moment that I think is the most beautiful that I think of is when he's at home getting his...
Clap machine ready.
unidentified
Totally.
dan friesen
He's probably testing it.
Oh my god, Joe.
Just before the call when he calls it down.
jordan holmes
Fucking his wife's in the other room like, Marty!
Marty, are you really going to stay up there the rest of the night?
Oh, fucker.
It only claps after a bad limerick!
That's as good as it gets for me.
dan friesen
I also think that I kind of understand his impulse.
Alex never gives it up.
jordan holmes
That's true.
That is true.
dan friesen
Because they're bad limericks, so his response is bad.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
I would try to cheat that too, probably.
jordan holmes
You know, there are two ways to deal with everyone hating you.
You could accept it and change, or you could replace them with an applause machine.
dan friesen
It's a life hack.
jordan holmes
I think that's Jay Leno's career.
unidentified
Ah!
Come on!
I don't know what we're doing.
jordan holmes
I'm trying to make an anachronistic reference.
dan friesen
Right, right.
So, I mean, look.
I think his soaps are probably good.
I don't know.
But we don't need to hear anything more from Marty Shachter.
He comes in, he does the lyric, he gets out.
You crushed it.
Congratulations, buddy.
jordan holmes
He is perfect.
dan friesen
So now we have another guest that comes on.
I don't remember why I remember this guy's name.
It's Daryl Rundis.
I am Daryl Rundis.
jordan holmes
You are.
You are.
dan friesen
But I don't know why.
I just thought his name was funny.
jordan holmes
I genuinely forgot why it is we keep saying his name too.
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
What was he from?
dan friesen
He came on and he had a product that he was selling that was like when you open a book a butterfly comes out.
jordan holmes
No, that's what he did?
dan friesen
Like a folded paper butterfly.
jordan holmes
I thought he was a caller for sure.
dan friesen
No.
But I don't remember what else he's got going on, but that name, it haunts me because I took it on as one of my gnomes to plume.
So he comes on, Daryl Rundis.
I gotta say, there's a lot of people in the history of Infowars and their guests who have had, like, shit ideas.
Like Daryl Rundis when he came in with a butterfly that comes out of a book.
jordan holmes
It wasn't great.
dan friesen
But then there's other people like Daryl Rundis on this episode.
unidentified
He's got a good idea.
dan friesen
And that kind of messes me up.
alex jones
Now, YouTube's censoring us.
YouTube took down two of my videos.
Not me joking around like the Joker to promote this contest.
That's why I did that.
unidentified
God damn it.
alex jones
But serious ones where I said, it isn't about Obama.
It isn't about Bush.
They're puppets.
Let's come together against the New World Order.
Obama's really a fascist, but he's just a front.
The posters aren't racist.
They're removing those because they don't want us to come together.
And I remember a few months ago talking to Darrell Rundis, who's done a lot of big successful things in the past.
unidentified
Has he?
alex jones
I said, well, he said, I'm going to start something for the people's own YouTube.
And, you know, there's a lot of other video sites out there, but this is going to be one where youdonews.com couldn't beat the URL.
He said it was just available.
Wow, that's Providence.
Just U, the letter U, do news, dot com.
And there it is.
It says coming soon, Daryl.
I would imagine we need to have you up for a main interview when it's ready to go.
unidentified
Well, we should be ready to release it or should I say unleash it on the public.
dan friesen
Well said.
Good.
Well said, Daryl.
Look, this is 2009.
He's launching a competitor to YouTube.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
The market was ready for this.
jordan holmes
He's launching Udon Ews.
A Japanese noodle review site.
Where he goes around and lets people know who's good and bad.
In the udon space.
dan friesen
That is also a great place.
There's an opening in the market.
So I think that now we have all these other rumble, and there's a number of YouTube competitors.
If he could have actually made something that worked and got a foothold, he would be loaded now.
unidentified
He would.
dan friesen
It would be huge if he could have had that from 2008.
It didn't work.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
It did not work at all.
And actually, I think it was kind of a doomed idea.
jordan holmes
What makes you say that?
dan friesen
Well, here's some of his idea.
unidentified
okay without for america but i really get that out we everything or what we get out of a bit which would be about the every We're going to pay out 20% of our ad revenue.
And we're going to distribute that ad revenue, that 20%, to everybody.
I don't care how long you've been a reporter with U2 News.
I don't care what content you produce.
As long as it's your content, it's original content, you produce that news.
You can take news clips from Fox, do commentary on it.
news reviews, what we call that.
Whatever it is, it's got to be creative, it's got to be original, it's got to be factual, it's got to be good, hard-hitting news.
But at the end of that quarter, if you got, let's say, Alex, 10% of the total views on our website, you'd get 10% of that ad revenue.
it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
alex jones
Now that's exciting.
And it'll take a lot of bandwidth.
We thought about doing something just like ourselves.
I just don't have the funds.
dan friesen
That's exciting.
You sound like a fucking idiot.
jordan holmes
Oh, you figured out the same scam everyone did.
dan friesen
That's a ridiculous plan.
jordan holmes
That is so...
Okay, so, okay.
dan friesen
Everybody.
jordan holmes
Gets paid out 20%.
dan friesen
If they do news.
jordan holmes
I don't know what news means.
dan friesen
It's anything, man.
unidentified
I don't know what that means.
dan friesen
It's gotta be your own thing.
jordan holmes
I would prefer a sign about noodles.
Udon news!
Yes!
dan friesen
In 2009, you could have started your own channel on Daryl Rundis' site and done that.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And then you would have gotten paid.
jordan holmes
Crushed it.
dan friesen
Gotten paid.
unidentified
Absolutely.
dan friesen
How long do you think that this site lasted?
jordan holmes
Three and a half days.
dan friesen
It might have gone a little more than that.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Four and a half days.
dan friesen
You got it.
I'm not sure, because you could get snapshots from the Wayback Machine.
All I know for sure is that it was down within a year.
It did not last.
But I do know that Daryl kept the URL, and he brought it back as a blog in 2016, and I only know this...
jordan holmes
Oh my god, is it about noodles?
dan friesen
No.
It's about more dumb right-wing bullshit.
unidentified
But...
dan friesen
It is one of the only websites on the internet that has ads for Daryl Rundis' butterflies to come out of books.
He does still have it.
I can guarantee you that.
jordan holmes
Oh my god.
I don't want one.
dan friesen
You don't want one.
unidentified
You want two.
jordan holmes
I want them all.
I want every butterfly to come out of those books.
dan friesen
You know Dune is a big book.
jordan holmes
It is.
It fits a lot of butterflies.
I mean, ornithopters.
dan friesen
I get that now.
We gotta get some of those butterflies.
jordan holmes
We do.
dan friesen
Write that down.
jordan holmes
I can't.
dan friesen
As soon as the show is over.
unidentified
Get butterflies from Rundus.
dan friesen
Daryl Rundus is gonna be like, holy shit, I sold one.
unidentified
Oh my god, I sold all four of my butterflies.
dan friesen
So we actually only have one more clip.
unidentified
Oh no!
jordan holmes
Sorry.
dan friesen
But it's another great idea from Daryl Rubens.
unidentified
Oh my god.
jordan holmes
Yes, please.
dan friesen
This is wild.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I heard him say this, and I thought, why?
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
What is happening?
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Enjoy.
unidentified
All right.
alex jones
What are some of your other websites you can plug today?
unidentified
Hey, don't forget, I am still giving $20,000 away for anybody who can name the Ten Commandments in 20 seconds or less.
So we give that away in October.
So go to 10andwin.com.
This letter is B-E-N-A-N-D-W-I.
alex jones
Now, what's the catch?
10andwin.com.
Why is it so hard, Daryl, to do it in 20 seconds?
unidentified
Go ahead.
Name all 10 in order at 20 seconds.
alex jones
No, I can't do it.
unidentified
Exactly.
alex jones
But, I mean, I can certainly read it and train and probably...
unidentified
Well, there you go.
dan friesen
There you go.
That's what you should do.
unidentified
Do you want 20 grand, Jordan?
dan friesen
First of all, I don't have 20 grand.
But second, do you think you could name the Ten Commandments in 20 seconds?
Do you think you could name it, the Ten Commandments, without...
unidentified
I've got to give you a timeline.
jordan holmes
I also don't have a stopwatch.
Don't kill, don't lie, don't covet.
dan friesen
That's not an order.
jordan holmes
Watch out for your mom, she's in the shower.
Dangerous times for people who want to fuck with idols.
dan friesen
That is in there.
jordan holmes
We've got the...
Oh shit, there's too much sand in your crack.
That one's a good one.
That's all I got.
Is that eight?
dan friesen
That one was more of a warning than a commandment.
jordan holmes
Ah, shit.
I think my god's better.
dan friesen
So Daryl Rundis, he was going to give $20,000 to someone who could name the Ten Commandments in 20 seconds.
jordan holmes
What I don't understand is his pitch is, you can't do that.
But you should learn how to do it and then do it and then I'll give you $20,000.
That's just a job.
That's just a job.
Hey, you can't clean my bathroom.
You should learn how to clean my bathroom.
And then I'll pay you $10,000 to clean my bathroom.
That's a job!
dan friesen
It is a little bit.
It is a little bit of a task that he has set in front of people.
So the way that this was set up was that you could send in your submission of you doing this in 20 seconds, and then he would randomly choose one person to give the $20,000 to.
Not everybody, so you could do all the work and not get any payoff.
jordan holmes
Right, right.
I like that.
Oh my god.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Are there 10 commandments?
jordan holmes
At a certain point, we've been doing the show long enough where I'm like, I don't even know.
They could be fucking with me about that, too.
dan friesen
About there being ten?
jordan holmes
Yeah, there might be eight and they add two just to fuck with the libs.
dan friesen
Well, I did look it up before the show.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
There are ten.
jordan holmes
There are ten.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Because of Charlton Heston.
dan friesen
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
That was why.
Yes.
jordan holmes
Yes.
That was why.
He was like, I don't do fucking eight.
Four on a tablet?
Get the shit out of here!
dan friesen
Five and five.
jordan holmes
Five and five.
That's the only way to do it.
dan friesen
That's right.
jordan holmes
Ten and twenty and you win.
dan friesen
That's right.
jordan holmes
Dot com.
dan friesen
Ten to win.
Twenty to win?
Ten to win.
unidentified
Oh, God.
jordan holmes
Let's get out of here.
dan friesen
But all of this really does work towards the ultimate end, which is getting people to repent, and therefore we can stop these false flags.
jordan holmes
Oh, my God.
That's right.
That's what we were doing.
unidentified
Synergy!
jordan holmes
I appreciate that.
dan friesen
And maybe we'll sell a few shirts while we're doing it.
jordan holmes
What's on the back of those shirts?
dan friesen
Vortex.
And it's not the word.
It is an actual vortex.
That all fear goes into.
unidentified
I don't know.
dan friesen
So what have you learned today?
How do you feel about what we've seen?
jordan holmes
I am struggling with this whole concept of if you're east of the Mississippi.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
Because then, don't we get to, like, in Japan and in other places, things are good, but then all we wind up doing is being in Indiana, which is east of the Mississippi.
dan friesen
And west.
Sort of.
jordan holmes
Oh my god.
Fucking hell.
dan friesen
Right?
jordan holmes
Where is Indiana?
dan friesen
We are all simultaneously east and west of the Mississippi.
jordan holmes
Jesus Christ.
unidentified
Freak out!
dan friesen
You are the individual and the collective.
jordan holmes
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for coming out!
Thank you so much!
