Dan. | |
| Jordan. | ||
| Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Quick question for you. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| What's your bright spot today, buddy? | ||
| My bright spot today is I've been getting into a blank check with Griffin Newman and David Sims. | ||
| Oh, I was going to say, that movie from the 90s that I remember... | ||
| Eerily specifically. | ||
| No, that movie where the rich guy gives the kid a blank check and then buys a bunch of stuff? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It's not a rich guy who gives it to him. | ||
| See, it was a bad guy who had obtained it through nefarious means. | ||
| And then he had accidentally dropped the check or whatever after signing it. | ||
| The kid takes the money out of the bank and they're all like, I don't know if this is okay because there's no protections. | ||
| It's the 90s. | ||
| And then the evil guy is like, why the fuck did you let a child take out $100? | ||
| Hundreds of thousands of dollars. | ||
| Well, now I'm really into this. | ||
| It's a great movie. | ||
| And then he builds a roller coaster in his backyard. | ||
| No, every dream I have ever had happened in the 90s. | ||
| I get this mixed up with, like, Brewster's Millions in my mind. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| That was also a dream movie for me. | ||
| These movies about people who have too much money all of a sudden. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But, yeah, the podcast, I don't really like movies all that much. | ||
| I'm not a big movie guy. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| But it's fun to listen to people who care a lot talk. | ||
| It's really in-depth about movies. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| I don't know why. | ||
| I think I've heard about that. | ||
| This is the show where they talk about whenever super famous directors get too much money. | ||
| No, when they have a big hit and pop culture gives them a blank check. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so you follow their career trajectories of whether that check cashes or bounces. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Oh, that's a good... | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| That makes sense. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's really interesting to... | ||
| They're also very funny and charming. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| But yeah, I'm enjoying that. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| Peek into... | ||
| I don't know anything about a lot of this show. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| Very few podcasts get an advertisement from us. | ||
| I enjoy it. | ||
| Anyway, what's your bright spot? | ||
| My bright spot is, to piggyback on our last show, my wife is home! | ||
| Hooray! | ||
| She's home! | ||
| We went on our trip, you know, and we took a bunch of flights. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And while we're flying, it's fine. | ||
| No big deal. | ||
| Debatable. | ||
| For me. | ||
| For me. | ||
| For me as well. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| But I mean in the air, like I'm not worried. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| When she was flying yesterday, for some reason I was just in that state of like, oh my. | ||
| You were worried on her behalf. | ||
| Oh, totally. | ||
| I couldn't believe how worried I was about a flight. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Because it's like, but then you stop and think and it's like the past. | ||
| Five days have been... | ||
| All airlines are essentially on computer fire. | ||
| So it's more reasonable to be slightly worried or concerned now than perhaps two weeks yesterday. | ||
| I guess so, maybe. | ||
| Or maybe you're talking yourself into just giving yourself a pass. | ||
| I'm not giving myself a pass. | ||
| I'm just saying that I feel like I was... | ||
| The last time, or last year, whenever she flew, she flew across the ocean. | ||
| Not as worried as this time. | ||
| Okay, so this is about... | ||
| The crowd strike. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| I think it was like a part of me being like, oh man, I understand that Southwest just pushes you on a plane and that's why they're still flying. | ||
| But I don't know if that's good. | ||
| Is that good? | ||
| Yeah, I think there's a little bit more rationality to your worry than like in other circumstances. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| But she's home safe so everything's great. | ||
| Came in last night. | ||
| If I recall correctly. | ||
| Perfect. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
| Drove her from Midway to the home. | ||
| Gorgeous, historic Midway. | ||
| The beauty of Midway Airport. | ||
| One of the best. | ||
| One of the best two airports in Chicago. | ||
| Oh, it is a firm number two. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Well, congratulations. | ||
| I'm glad she made it back safe. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's nice. | ||
| So today, Jordan, we have an episode to go over. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Indeed. | |
| We're going to be talking about the 24th of July. | ||
| All right. | ||
| That would be Wednesday's show. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Of this week, Biden has dropped out of the race. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Now, I assume you've learned a little bit more about how you filled yourself in on... | ||
| On stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh, eh. | |
| Eh. | ||
| It's not that important. | ||
| Eh. | ||
| This episode will largely be a bunch of nonsense and Alex being really racist about Kamala Harris. | ||
| That sounds about right. | ||
| So, uh... | ||
| I think we're previewing the next several months. | ||
| Yeah, I would imagine that this is going to be... | ||
| And possibly years. | ||
| Could be. | ||
| Could be. | ||
| Might not. | ||
| Never end. | ||
| Yeah, a lot of fun. | ||
| So we'll get down to business on this, but first, let's take a little moment to say hello to some new wonks. | ||
| That's a great idea. | ||
| So first, Chloe from Alaska. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Next, congratulations to Russell, one of the Glasgow wonks who stopped the planned assassination of Jordan on his graduation on Thursday. | ||
| Keep up the good fight. | ||
| All my love, Amy, Daisy, and Momo. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| So that's what happened. | ||
| Yes, it was a specific person who canceled the plot against me. | ||
| We appreciate it. | ||
| Yeah, it's very nice. | ||
| Next, yet another Dr. Jones Big Naturals. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| I'm going to limit those. | ||
| I only just... | ||
| I'm sure. | ||
| I'm sure you're flooded with Big Naturals. | ||
| I need to limit those, yeah. | ||
| And Eric L., thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you! | |
| And we got a technocrat in the mix, Jordan, so thank you so much to all caps here. | ||
| So imagine me yelling this. | ||
| Is it MF Doom? | ||
| No. | ||
| Because he's dead. | ||
| You spelled the man's name. | ||
| Yeah, that's what I'm saying. | ||
| All caps. | ||
| No. | ||
| Conspiracy empires burned to the fucking ground. | ||
| Eddie, thank you so much. | ||
| You are now a technocrat. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Four stars. | ||

Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant. | |
| Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop. | ||
| Daddy Shark. | ||

| Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent. | ||

He's a loser little titty baby. | |
| I don't want to hate black people. | ||
| I renounce Jesus Christ! | ||
| Thank you so much! | ||
| Oh man, I don't want to hate black people. | ||
| It's harder now. | ||
| Wait, wait until a little bit later in the episode. | ||
| So we start off on this Wednesday episode of Alex's with a problem. | ||
| There's a problem. | ||
| Oh no. | ||
| There's too much news. | ||
| I've got a big problem on this July 24th live Wednesday transmission. | ||
| There's just too much news. | ||
| Too much incredible stuff to cover. | ||
| And it also cleared the slate of most of the guests because I wanted to open up an X spaces for people to comment on the state of the world and... | ||
| 11 days after the attempted assassination of Trump and... | ||
| Biden's stepping down. | ||
| Give a speech tonight. | ||
| We'll have live coverage here with Owen Schroyer. | ||
| Yeah, he's got so much big news that I've canceled all of our guests so everyone can talk shit. | ||
| Listen, 99.999% of the time when he says there's too much news, I disagree with him. | ||
| But right now, I honestly think there might be too much news. | ||
| There is so much going on. | ||
| Everybody needs to slow it down. | ||
| And so little that he brings to the table in terms of those stories. | ||
| Infuriating. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it is strange to just, like, you know, you hear that and you're like, It's been 11 days since the attempted assassination. | ||
| No, it's been 7,000 years. | ||
| There have been three Cleopatras born and dead in the meantime. | ||
| Empires have risen and fallen in the past 7,000 years or since last Tuesday or whatever. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ugh. | |
| Man. | ||
| Fucking insane. | ||
| So yeah, we're just gonna kick all the guests out and talk to people on Twitter. | ||
| This is gonna be a good idea. | ||
| Eight different people rewrote Ozymandias. | ||
| In the meantime, like, oh, hey, just a reminder, guys, not going to take it with you. | ||
| Well, and here we are. | ||
| So Kamala Harris is the presumptive nominee for the Democrat Party, and the media is set on gaslighting you about it. | ||
| Amazing levels of rewriting history, a 1984 level gaslighting where... | ||
| There's running headlines everywhere, fact-checking. | ||
| Kamala Harris was never a border czar. | ||
| She was never in charge of the border. | ||
| It's a right-wing lie. | ||
| Now, that's like saying the river that runs through by Virginia and Maryland is not the Potomac. | ||
| It's like saying the Grand Canyon is not in Arizona. | ||
| It's like saying the Statue of Liberty isn't on Staten Island. | ||
| I mean, it's just... | ||
| I mean, even the dumbest person... | ||
| Has to know that she was the border czar for the last three and a half years. | ||
| And we have the articles and videos, him announcing her, press conferences, and they're just like, it's not true. | ||
| It's all lies, right-wing evil. | ||
| The corporate media knows people don't believe them anymore. | ||
| They just culture jam to create confusion. | ||
| Yeah, it's just culture jamming. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So there's a slight game being played here because the term czar is not really an official title in the government. | ||
| Presidents often delegate certain areas of policy to a particular official, and then the media will take to calling them things like the climate czar or energy czar. | ||
| In this case, it is true that Biden chose Harris to be the point person on migration issues back when they were first elected in 2021, and you could make an argument that therefore she would be the border czar or something. | ||
| It's not accurate to what she was responsible for, given that her role was more about the larger issue than just the border, but it would also be a little bit inaccurate to pretend that there's no basis for this title. | ||
| It's not an official title, and it's generally been used as a catchphrase to attack Kamala Harris' sense. | ||
| For instance, in February 2022, Texas Representative Ronnie Jackson tried to pass the Border Czar Accountability Act, which would make Harris visit the border every 60 days, along with a number of other requirements that he wanted to impose. | ||
| Yeah, that'd be fun. | ||
| Anyone who watched the RNC would notice that they were largely animated by a fear and hatred of immigrants, with signs and chants of send them back making frequent appearances. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| The Vox sub-headline for their article is, quote, No, Kamala Harris is not the border czar, but that doesn't matter to Republicans. | ||
| The article was attempting to explain that the HHS and DHS have responsibility for the border, whereas Harris' mission was more about diplomacy and the underlying causes of migration. | ||
| But with a headline like this, it's easy for Alex to pretend that the media is just gaslighting everybody and pretending that she had no involvement with border issues or whatever. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, I would say that's, yeah, that's on them. | ||
| Yeah, I think Vox fucked up on this one, and I think the media should probably be a little bit more careful about using words. | ||
| Czar might not have been an appropriate word for a democracy to use. | ||
| I think there's criticism to go in both directions. | ||
| But also, this czar terminology goes back a bit further than you think. | ||
| I remember it being a hot topic of conversation with the Bush administration. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| But it predates that considerably. | ||
| So I thought it was maybe more of a newer... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it's not really. | ||
| I think, yeah, I would say the criticism is be a little more careful. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, that's what I'm saying. | ||
| But Alex is still wrong. | ||
| That's the thing about it, though, is that it was germinated, I'm certain for expedience, a little bit of flavor. | ||
| Sounds like a fun word. | ||
| Adding a little bit of touch to that, a little bit of imagery. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| I think it's great. | ||
| But then, you know, 50 years later, we're saddled with people like Alex rightfully using the word czar to kind of be a dick. | ||
| Like, you should have fucking thought about that. | ||
| Now, it's not your fault, people from the 40s. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| You were fighting a war, right? | ||
| Well, see, the issue is that, like, there's a nuance to... | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| The reality. | ||
| And Alex is ignoring that in order to make his complaint. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, if you're not reading a Vox article, then you see an Alex headline, then, uh, yeah, I mean. | ||
| Like, these articles aren't saying that Harris had no, uh, like, involvement or, uh, it wasn't delegated to her. | ||
| Migration issues were, like, in her. | ||
| In her portfolio. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| That's not what people are claiming. | ||
| No. | ||
| They're arguing that this border czar title is a right-wing attack. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's very clear. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| And so there's problems on messaging on both sides of this one, I think. | ||
| I'm not stoked about anybody's work lately. | ||
| But I think Alex is worse. | ||
| Yeah, I agree. | ||
| It's obvious when he starts talking more. | ||
| Doing this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Oh, no. | ||
| I remember the last... | ||
| Five years of her on the radar, you know, when she was running for president and then was picked as the VP, and then they stole the election almost four years ago. | ||
| But now that people are putting a spotlight back on her, it reminded me she's even worse than I thought. | ||
| I mean, she's such an evil, stupid person at the same time, cackling witch, and totally fake in every way, that it's really hard to even try to grasp it. | ||
| I've got more than 20 clips here. | ||
| Of her making an absolute fool of herself. | ||
| And there's just hundreds more. | ||
| My eyes were bleeding this morning sending these to the crew. | ||
| Just clip after clip after clip after clip after clip of the most insane crap you've ever witnessed. | ||
| And then they're spitting it that she's black and the Republican leadership's like, well, let's not make it about the fact that she's a diversity hire. | ||
| Because, I mean, there's plenty of black women that can be present, they're smart, but this lady certainly isn't black, and she certainly isn't smart. | ||
| Okay, so here we are. | ||
| I feel like there's a lot of ways that you could probably attack Harris in terms of, you know, there's some policy disagreements you can have and shit like that, but this is just... | ||
| Unhinged racism. | ||
| Hey, I mean, let's face it. | ||
| I'm just not going to be at an 1850s market with people in Louisiana being like, oh, I don't like those. | ||
| No, not going to happen. | ||
| I'm not doing it. | ||
| It's shocking. | ||
| And Alex says that his eyes were bleeding watching these clips. | ||
| He ends up playing a number of clips where she's making complete sense. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| She seems like a pretty smart and thoughtful person. | ||
| It's just, I don't know, if this is where we're going, this is thin. | ||
| And I think one of the issues is that the right wing largely operates, a lot of this media ecosystem relies on memes and trying to elicit reaction from people. | ||
| And I think that there has been a lot of people who have made some pretty fun memes about Harris. | ||
| And I think that that's threatening to people like Alex. | ||
| Oh, I hadn't considered that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That hadn't occurred to me that people would care. | ||
| That's bananas. | ||
| I think that's legitimately terrifying. | ||
| You're totally right. | ||
| The idea that there's like coconut memes and stuff like that going around. | ||
| I think that that is something that Alex can't combat. | ||
| Finally. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Finally they are. | ||
| Hey, listen. | ||
| When they go low. | ||
| You go fucking lower, man. | ||
| You go coconut low. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You go loconaut is what you do. | ||
| When they go meme, you go meme. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And then Alex's response to that is, oh, they're going meme. | ||
| I better be a racist as shit. | ||
| Better call her words. | ||
| So Biden dropped out. | ||
| But maybe he was forced to? | ||
| You're also welcome to call in or be a speaker on X about Kamala. | ||
| Biden disappearing. | ||
| Now he reportedly is going to officially drop out of the race in a speech tonight. | ||
| Not just that letter that wasn't even on the letterhead. | ||
| It wasn't even his signature. | ||
| Looks like they pulled a dirty trick on him while he was drugged up or something coming back from Vegas. | ||
| Which they meant was a medical emergency. | ||
| While he was drugged up for a few days. | ||
| Went ahead and said, see, sorry, you already resigned. | ||
| No getting out of this now. | ||
| And now they're all just trying to... | ||
| Reportedly, they meant he's been super mad throwing fits. | ||
| And after six days... | ||
| He emerges stumbling around. | ||
| We've got the video of that coming up. | ||
| And they say, you know, why'd you drop out? | ||
| He goes, ha ha, yeah. | ||
| Like, yeah, I didn't drop out. | ||
| So just absolutely insane. | ||
| This is wild stuff. | ||
| What we've got going on in the world is they drugged him up and then they hacked his Twitter. | ||
| They got on his Twitter. | ||
| They put out this statement. | ||
| He wakes up and they're like, hey, you dropped out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| See, actually, here's what's crazy about that. | ||
| Is that part of the reason that he did drop out is because if he was 55, nobody would be like, oh, if he was asleep for too long, you might be able to lie him into resigning from the United States office of president. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know if that makes it any more believable. | ||
| I'm just saying if you're 81, I'd be more likely. | ||
| More likely. | ||
| I'm not saying it happened because it didn't happen. | ||
| That's not close to how it worked. | ||
| He's fine. | ||
| He's still the president. | ||
| But this could be the inciting incident of like a really interesting Bullworth type movie where you're a president. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And maybe you're a little bit too threatening to the establishment or something like that. | ||
| And so they drug you and then announce that you're not running for reelection. | ||
| And you now have to deal. | ||
| I didn't post that. | ||
| What are you going to do? | ||
| Or maybe you take the threatening to the establishment part out of it. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| That time that you're still president, you now make it your mission to do the most good possible because you're not going to get that re-election. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| Now that you've got nothing to lose. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You can Brewster. | ||
| You can Biden's billions. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And of course the tension is that by the time the election comes, the American public loves you so much. | ||
| They're demanding you. | ||
| You have to be. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Let me throw this out at you. | ||
| Presidento. | ||
| All right? | ||
| It's a president who can only remember the past minute. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And then we film it backwards. | ||
| Tattoos. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I think this would be good. | ||
| Watch out for a ray tattooed on his shoulder. | ||
| Trump's not cool. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I like that. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| Call people Jack. | ||
| I think the American people could all get behind that as a president. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So, Alex talks a little bit about his business issues in this next clip. | ||
| And it appears that I think things are evolving a little bit. | ||
| What we do have plenty of, and it's great products, is a private label line that's called InfoWarsMD. | ||
| I learned two years ago that one of our main suppliers of raw materials, our sub-supplier, one of our manufacturers, was listeners and patriots. | ||
| I called the owner. | ||
| Billion-dollar company, one of the major makers. | ||
| They said, listen, our whole line is yours. | ||
| We just don't want to get in the middle of it politically, so just don't say our name. | ||
| We will let you private label all of this drop-shipped out of their warehouse with, like, one-day service. | ||
| You know, you order it, it ships in, like, a day or two, depending on the day. | ||
| You order on a Saturday, it doesn't ship on Sunday. | ||
| And it's the exact same tumor. | ||
| It's in bodies. | ||
| Just to give you an example. | ||
| Whose bodies? | ||
| Nitric Boost was their product. | ||
| And we said, well, we can fund ourselves and we can go make that somewhere else. | ||
| They said, sure, just have the product. | ||
| That's how nice they were. | ||
| So we went and made that. | ||
| But all they do is tack $3 to $4 on every order. | ||
| And it's bottled. | ||
| They put our label on it. | ||
| Everything. | ||
| So we've got our costs. | ||
| They get their $3 to $4. | ||
| And then we put markup on it so we can fund ourselves. | ||
| So you're literally getting a top-of-the-line supplement line. | ||
| I mean, they've got over 100 products, so I think we've probably labeled 15 or so. | ||
| Their joint relief is amazing. | ||
| Their prostate support is amazing. | ||
| Their nerve renew is amazing. | ||
| Their good night's sleep is amazing. | ||
| Their ashwagandha products are amazing. | ||
| It's InfoWarsMD, private labeled, and they got plenty of it. | ||
| So if you've paid attention to Alex's show, you'll know that he gets the nitric boost from Judy Mikovits'company. | ||
| And they discussed that the last time that she was on the show. | ||
| I probably wouldn't even remember that except for those commercials that Alex had where he's talking about nitric boost giving him painful erections. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's allowed to have a company? | |
| that she just gets it from another supplier too. | ||
| I think she has probably her own sort of private labeling thing that all goes down. | ||
| There's a root of this some company that they're both getting it from, I think. | ||
| Well, you know what I like? | ||
| I just like how above board everything is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's real cool. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So she obviously doesn't have her own supplement lab and industry and stuff. | ||
| She just uses her high profile to sell other people's supplements, and it appears that one of those companies that she works with is now letting Alex private label their shit by slapping a cheap-looking InfoWars MD logo on it and giving Alex a cut. | ||
| This is part of Alex's very overt strategy to navigate the fallout of the Sandy Hook cases and stay rich. | ||
| Dr. Jones Naturals exists so that no matter what, Alex will have a supplement business run by a family member that's outside the reach of collections and can sponsor any business that he starts next. | ||
| In the same way that Alex got his first radio show because his dad's dental business promised the station to buy ad time, Alex will get his last radio show because his dad's fake pill business is buying all of the ad time. | ||
| The private labeling thing is a secondary part of this strategy, which is aimed a bit towards the possibility of staying on air with Infowars as a brand intact. | ||
| The arrangement here is pure profit for Alex because the other company is doing all the production and shipping, so there's zero overhead. | ||
| Alex just promotes this shit, directs people to buy it, and then gets a percentage. | ||
| The game here is to put money into InfoWars because Alex is personally in bankruptcy and he's going to have to sell the company. | ||
| If he wants to have any chance of attracting anyone to buy it, he needs to make it look like a profitable business. | ||
| If there isn't the appearance that it's a sustainable business, there's no real argument for someone to buy it, and there's a stronger argument to liquidate the whole thing and then just walk away from it. | ||
| So here he doesn't have to have his InfoWars life or InfoWars health as businesses that have some exposure. | ||
| There's just like you could do the whole supplement thing, and we'll take a cut of it, and we'll make it look like InfoWars is super profitable. | ||
| I've made my peace with it. | ||
| I've made my peace with, like, he's never going to face consequences for this, and that's just how we live. | ||
| Like, once I moved past the, like, maybe... | ||
| Nope. | ||
| It's not going to happen. | ||
| Let it go. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's the best way to move it. | ||
| I think that the best you can do is descriptively understand what's happening and be like, look at this shit. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| You guys all did a great job. | ||
| And hope that something happens eventually. | ||
| I hope everybody involved feels very proud of themselves. | ||
| So what do you think when you see a turtle? | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| I want to live with it and become best friends with it and then shrink down and build a little house on the back. | ||
| I think about Dana Carvey's movie, Master of Disguise. | ||
| That's another one. | ||
| When he goes to the Turtle Club. | ||
| Mitch McConnell, of course. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alex sees determination. | ||
| I want to go back a few photos. | ||
| The one where Trump looks like a turtle and he's got his bottom lip up over his mouth. | ||
| Go back to the beginning of the photos. | ||
| That's the face I make when I'm really pissed off and determined. | ||
| That face right there. | ||
| If you see me coming at you with that face, you know you got a problem. | ||
| And that is the face of total determination. | ||
| I've seen a lot of other men in really serious situations. | ||
| That's the face you make. | ||
| Yeah, that face right there, that's the real face of determination. | ||
| Anytime you get in a fight with somebody and they got that look on their face, that means somebody switched on for war. | ||
| Yeah, they've channeled the turtle, the inner turtle. | ||
| And it's terrifying. | ||
| That's what real fear and determination looks like. | ||
| Yeah, I get it. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| Which turtle were you? | ||
| Which Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle were you? | ||
| I was Donatello. | ||
| You were Donatello, obviously. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I was a nerd. | |
| I went back and forth between Donatello and Michelangelo. | ||
| That's the story of my life. | ||
| That's what a person with a bipolar is. | ||
| That's about as, yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or maybe that's Raphael, then, because he was more chaotic, right? | ||
| Sure, sure, but I don't think I was angry in the right way to identify with Raphael. | ||
| You know, I was angry at all kinds of other stuff, whereas Raphael's anger was, you know, kind of justified in a lot of different ways. | ||
| He didn't have to be an anthropomorphic turtle that can do ninjutsu. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So, you know. | ||
| I was no Leonardo. | ||
| I know that. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I've never been a Leonardo. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And I, you know, everyone, when you're a kid, you want to be Michelangelo because he's cool. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I wasn't Michelangelo. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| I pulled off Michelangelo. | ||
| Man. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| You surfer. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| So look, those are friendly turtles, as long as you're a good guy. | ||
| They were tubular. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If you come bearing pizza, you have nothing to worry about. | ||
| But the turtle face, if you see it on a human. | ||
| You're in trouble. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So Alex can't find this picture, or at least the staff can. | ||
| And it really pisses Alex off. | ||
| And maybe he starts making a turtle face at the staff. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Go back to the earlier photo, too. | ||
| It's even better when we make it into the turtle face. | ||
| Even better. | ||
| And I say that because you've got the turtle with the lower jaw kind of up over it. | ||
| Just roll through that again. | ||
| I've got to see it. | ||
| Roll through the same image as you were just showing. | ||
| Comes up right after this. | ||
| This is the face right here coming up. | ||
| You're on X. Yeah, maybe you're doing different images than you had. | ||
| It's the straight shot of him. | ||
| It's the classic shot. | ||
| The one that everybody has. | ||
| We'll get it. | ||
| We'll have it. | ||
| But I digress here, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| This is such a historic time, and what unfolded here is so historic. | ||
| And the globalists are never going to be able... | ||
| To put the genie back in the bottle. | ||
| I would have said shell. | ||
| Later in the show, I'll find the image I want. | ||
| We're going to just probably leave it up the entire show. | ||
| I think I'll just leave the image up. | ||
| I have to go to rebroadcast. | ||
| I have to get the image. | ||
| I'm not mad. | ||
| I'm just going to have it now. | ||
| I didn't used to be OCD, but at 50, I'm so OCD now about the classic fight, fight, fight with him all around him and him up out of them. | ||
| And he's like this. | ||
| That's the one. | ||
| We've kind of got the shot, but we don't. | ||
| Have the shot. | ||
| Here, I'll find it right now. | ||
| Now, that's it. | ||
| That's the shot right there. | ||
| That right there is determination. | ||
| That's the turtle face. | ||
| All right. | ||
| There's only one shot of determination on a turtle's face I ever saw. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Secrets of the use. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Do you remember the snapping turtle? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Now, on the second go-round... | ||
| The first time you meet them, sure, they're little babies. | ||
| And Shredder is pissed off at this. | ||
| They're babies. | ||
| But then, you know, he raises them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I also like that Shredder kind of has an emotional attachment to them. | |
| They don't really explore that. | ||
| Like, Shredder's got a softer side. | ||
| But then, once he realized, once the snapping turtle realizes that the donuts were a ruse... | ||
| That's intense. | ||
| That's determination? | ||
| That's determination. | ||
| Go back and watch that movie. | ||
| Eventually, he'll take a donut and they'll find out that it's drugged, and then that turtle is pissed. | ||
| That's exactly what Trump looked like. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I love the idea that Alex is just so pissed they can't find the right picture. | ||
| There's only one explanation for that, I think, and that is like... | ||
| Something about that image makes Alex feel a certain way. | ||
| It has to be. | ||
| And once he thinks about feeling that way, he can't move on until he feels that way. | ||
| Because he can't summon feelings through memory? | ||
| I think it might be. | ||
| Because all of his feelings are fake. | ||
| He requires an external device to make them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He needs that stimulus. | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Weird. | ||
| He actually has a pretty good idea, if that's the case. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And that is that he's going to get a tattoo of that turtle face. | ||
| I love that idea. | ||
| That's the fake. | ||
| I might get it. | ||
| In fact, I've never gotten a tattoo. | ||
| You should. | ||
| I might get this gigantic across my back. | ||
| Because I'm nothing against people with tattoos. | ||
| I see a lot of cool ones. | ||
| I see a lot of horrible ones. | ||
| If I was in the military, I'd probably have some. | ||
| But, you know, usually it was like you're a sailor, you're a marine, so you've got one. | ||
| It's kind of become such a fad. | ||
| I was kind of like, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But I don't know. | |
| When they bury me six feet under, I think I might want that on my back. | ||
| I bet people are already getting it everywhere. | ||
| I bet they bury you face down. | ||
| But you can't do that as a little tattoo. | ||
| You can't put that on your arm. | ||
| You can't put that on your chest. | ||
| You can't put that on your ass like a tramp stamp. | ||
| If you're going to do it, it's got to be like a prison tattoo all the way across the shoulders. | ||
| You know, I'm really thinking about it. | ||
| Because you've got to back something like that. | ||
| That is never going to go away. | ||
| That is never going to be forgotten. | ||
| That is over-the-top, powerful, instant, authentic, and real. | ||
| 11 days after at this point, and most people have moved on. | ||
| But here's the thing. | ||
| I was thinking about this, and you know, the last season of The Wire, everybody sort of fulfilling the roles of the generations before them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| Nixon's tattoo on Roger's back. | ||
| It does feel appropriate. | ||
| I suddenly had the image of a turtle tramp stamp, and I think now everybody is really thinking about it. | ||
| A Trump turtle tramp stamp? | ||
| And then you just, man, that would really fuck you up. | ||
| I don't think I'm coming back from that one. | ||
| Nope, I'd look down and be like, no! | ||
| Well, it's on your back. | ||
| You wouldn't really have to deal with it all that much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| I was thinking about if somebody else got it, and I discovered it too late. | ||
| Oh, yes. | ||
| That would be quite a revelation. | ||
| That would be a fucking day. | ||
| That would be a day. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Woof. | ||
| So, look, it's all fun to talk about turtle faces, and Alex may be getting a tattoo. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| But unfortunately, we must dip back into Alex being pretty racist about Kamala Harris. | ||
| And they're coronating like she's a queen. | ||
| Kamala Harris outside of law. | ||
| No one voted for her in the primary. | ||
| She had 2% when she ran for vice president at the polls. | ||
| She was super unpopular. | ||
| I mean, the woman is a joke. | ||
| And Kamala Harris is as black as I am. | ||
| I've heard that one before. | ||
| I've had my DNA done. | ||
| I don't have any African blood. | ||
| I'd be proud of my dad. | ||
| I got Native American. | ||
| My dad's like 13%. | ||
| Because you were so nice. | ||
| So I'm basically 6 point whatever. | ||
| But I'm not Native American. | ||
| I mean, Pocahontas, the senator, Elizabeth Warren, has none of it in her. | ||
| She said she was. | ||
| But I'm like 6 point whatever percent. | ||
| No African. | ||
| Zero. | ||
| This woman, maybe her dad had 6% African. | ||
| I mean, you take a look at him. | ||
| I'd love to see her DNA test. | ||
| In fact, people, because she's running on this, she's black. | ||
| And, you know, they said if you don't vote for Biden, you ain't black. | ||
| I'm surprised Biden didn't say he was black. | ||
| Joe Biden is a joke, and we know it. | ||
| We got Dr. Stella Emanuel, who grew up in Africa and is a great doctor and super smart and also a great pastor. | ||
| You can look at her. | ||
| She's a beautiful lady. | ||
| She's 100% African. | ||
| She's a black lady. | ||
| I'm going to ask her when she's in here. | ||
| Is Kamala Harris black? | ||
| Stella? | ||
| Dr. Stella, is she black? | ||
| That's a black woman. | ||
| This woman is not even a... | ||
| What was the term my black buddies used growing up in Dallas about black girls that were part-wide? | ||
| Yellowbone? | ||
| Stuff like that. | ||
| What was the other names? | ||
| Had a lot of names. | ||
| But the point is, is that Kamala Harris is not even a yellowbone. | ||
| Kamala Harris, maximum, maximum is 6% black. | ||
| Holy shit. | ||
| I mean, this is just beyond any kind of lie. | ||
| I'm not, like, gonna get in a plane or, like, a train or get in my car. | ||
| But if he was... | ||
| In my physical space saying this, I have to fight him. | ||
| Do you know what I mean? | ||
| You can't do this. | ||
| It's definitely not something that you hear and it's like, ha ha, now let's argue. | ||
| And I'm not saying you have to hit him or anything like that. | ||
| No, no, no, you can walk away. | ||
| There is no rational response to this. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| And you're trying to litigate whether or not someone else is black enough. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| I think that you're already in territory where it's like, there's no point. | ||
| There's no point here. | ||
| All we can do is just look at this and say, fuck you. | ||
| This is racist garbage, and that's where it's coming from inside you. | ||
| Yeah, no, that's exactly what I'm saying. | ||
| That is the ultimate, like, here's a boundary. | ||
| There's no going back. | ||
| Yeah, so I'll walk away. | ||
| I'm fine. | ||
| I don't live in Austin. | ||
| If you want to talk like that to your friends, I can't stop you. | ||
| But stay away from me. | ||
| Because if you say that in my space, we gotta go. | ||
| We gotta go, man. | ||
| It's not a good sign of where we are. | ||
| But... | ||
| I think that when you mix this stuff, because it is very clearly like, oh, okay, Alex is mad about a black person running for office. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And so he's lashing out in this way, but you still have to sort of root it in some sort of intellectualizing, right? | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can't just get up there and yell the N-word over and over and over again. | |
| He has to try and play some clips of her and be like, look at this idiot. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And so he does, but she sounds smart. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is new darling of the party. | |
| She officially has more Twitter followers than Nancy Pelosi. | ||
| She's on 60 Minutes this weekend proudly calling herself a radical. | ||
| And she's promoting policies like saying that every single carbon emission in the country, every car should be eliminated within the next 11 years, everything from a 70 to 80 percent tax rate. | ||
| Do you agree that she could possibly, in this ideology of the socialist left, could splinter your party? | ||
| No. | ||
| You know, I think that... | ||
| She is challenging the status quo. | ||
| I think that's fantastic. | ||
| I think that, you know, I used to teach before, especially before in the last few years. | ||
| And the thing that I always loved about teaching was when you teach, it requires you to defend the premise. | ||
| And it requires you to re-examine the premise. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And question, is it still relevant? | |
| Does it have impact? | ||
| Does it have meaning? | ||
| And I think that she is introducing bold ideas that should be discussed. | ||
| Buses go here. | ||
| Buses go there. | ||
| That's what buses do. | ||
| That's an actual quote. | ||
| Here she is saying she wants to restrict your meat consumption. | ||
| Whatever the New World Order wants, she's going to put it out. | ||
| She's a perfect puppet. | ||
| His characterization of this bus meme that he saw. | ||
| Is the way that he's able to try and make her sound dumb. | ||
| But what he just played was an incredibly thoughtful, intelligent... | ||
| It's an articulation of how important it is to have ideas that challenge your own ideas and how that can keep you growing, basically. | ||
| It's a clip that's very appealing as a public figure, I think. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it is essentially a reasonable response to, like, hey, listen, the fires of youth, great. | ||
| You know, turn into the tempered steel of adulthood. | ||
| That's what we're talking about. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| The kids win in the end, so I might as well, you know, adapt. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| This is a clip that Alex is choosing to play in order to paint Kamala Harris in a way of being stupid. | ||
| And it's smarter than almost anything that's been played on his show ever. | ||
| Anything he says. | ||
| I'm super confused as to what the bus meme is that would make sense of trying to play this clip as a negative. | ||
| I think he just doesn't have that much ammunition. | ||
| And so he's just going to play something that sounds smart and insist that it's dumb. | ||
| Who found this? | ||
| Probably Chase. | ||
| It does feel like a Chase. | ||
| It does feel like a Chase clip being like, see? | ||
| She likes young people. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So we get some callers from Twitter and from the phones. | ||
| Alex takes both. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And one person believes that there was a conspiracy with Trump's assassination. | ||
| Hell yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I also wanted to say something else about the shooter. | |
| I believe just like that movie Shooter, that guy was set up and he didn't fire one shot. | ||
| I think when the guy, the officer went up to check on him, that was a bad actor and he was making Let me stop you. | ||
| Saturday, 11 days ago, I thought of that. | ||
| Mark Wahlberg, great movie, The Shooter, how they try to set him up as a shooter. | ||
| That's what I thought. | ||
| And Dew's putting it together right now. | ||
| We have all the videos where the guy's wearing pants and the guy that shoots wearing shorts. | ||
| We're getting together right now. | ||
| This is a big deal. | ||
| This is not adding up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| I think the kid got set up. | ||
| It pumped him up in some sort of secret thing. | ||
| They said, you're going to be protecting the president. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| He wasn't even looking towards the president. | ||
| They wouldn't have that banana even looking towards him. | ||
| He was just set up, man. | ||
| That's what I believe could be true. | ||
| Well, definitely it's a standout and nobody's buying it. | ||
| That's the good news. | ||
| That's great news. | ||
| Yeah, I guess because there's maybe a picture of someone wearing pants and then shorts, the Mark Wahlberg movie The Shooter is predictive programming for this. | ||
| You know, this did get me thinking, right, about all the presidents who've been assassinated, which is like five. | ||
| I want to say it's like five. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| If you count... | ||
| Sounds about right. | ||
| If you count the flu after not healing, right? | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| All the successful ones? | ||
| Close range. | ||
| Close range, right? | ||
| That's why the JFK assassination is so conspiracy theory-able. | ||
| It's because it was a distance, right? | ||
| So, here's the idea. | ||
| If you are just an amateur asshole, close up! | ||
| You can't fire from distance. | ||
| If you fire from distance, that's professional shot. | ||
| So in this regard, almost the best evidence that it's not a conspiracy is the distance means he missed. | ||
| If it was like an actual thing, how could you miss? | ||
| Well, here's the thing. | ||
| It's impossible to put on pants. | ||
| I actually do buy that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't even know what evidence Alex is pointing to here with shorts and pants. | ||
| But my mind just hears it and it's like, yeah, you could have shorts on under your pants. | ||
| It doesn't seem like a persuasive piece of evidence about anything. | ||
| Even if every element of what he's saying is like, this doesn't rise to the level of a compelling anomaly that he's got here. | ||
| But yeah, so anyway, it's the Mark Wahlberg movie. | ||
| That's what we're living through. | ||
| We're living through this 2007 movie. | ||
| Here's what I find fascinating. | ||
| Here's the other thing that I find fascinating. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| So you hear reports Googling JFK assassination. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Again, another sign of the amateur. | ||
| The news that came out, the shooter had Googled how far was Oswald. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| A sign of an amateur, right? | ||
| Because if you're a historian, the one thing you know about all of the failed assassination attempts towards presidents, all of them, all of the failed ones, too hot. | ||
| Too hot. | ||
| Guns jammed. | ||
| Slippery sweat. | ||
| All of them failed for that reason almost entirely. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's the trick. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| So what did he do? | ||
| If he had just learned about American history, he doesn't need to have a Google search results. | ||
| He just knows that it's too hot. | ||
| Alaska. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's where the pros go. | ||
| Find a cool, temperate zone, my man. | ||
| Don't go to the trap. | ||
| So we've got, like I said, we've got these callers, we've got these Twitter people, and if we've got a Twitter space, that means it's time for Chase. | ||
| I'm a little worried that Chase Geyser is getting overexposed on our show. | ||
| It does feel like we're giving him a lot more attention than maybe. | ||
| I think we've just had so many dark spots and the news is so fast that it just feels like this is a respite. | ||
| Yeah, and there's always something nice about bonding. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| There's something compelling about seeing bonding. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I think that that's really what this, the itch that this scratches. | ||
| 20 seconds to break. | ||
| How epic is this time to be alive? | ||
| Oh, it's so epic. | ||
| And I got a feeling that we're going to see Kamala Harris as president of the United States before the election, and I don't think she's going to be the candidate. | ||
| Yeah, so the 25th Amendment, Biden, and then... | ||
| Yeah, or he dies of natural causes, or God forbid, you know, they kill him. | ||
| Obviously, no violence wanted to come to him, but this hasn't even begun to be crazy yet, man. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| Crazy Town has just begun, and we were supposed to be off the air by now, but we're still here, buddy! | ||
| All right! | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| When they go out to break. | ||
| I've made peace. | ||
| I am beyond... | ||
| This is a thing... | ||
| You know, I'm a generally emotionally reactive fella. | ||
| And this one, I've just let go. | ||
| It's kind of... | ||
| You know, I think that a chill response is kind of understandable. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because, I mean, I hate them. | ||
| I hate what they stand for. | ||
| I think their political ideas are trash. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But there is a feeling of actual, like, they like each other. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| That you don't get necessarily from a lot of these other... | ||
| Oh! | ||
| Like, Alex and Owen. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Whenever they would be in studio together, there's a tension. | ||
| There's a hostility. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| That's definitely true. | ||
| You know, there's a dynamic of... | ||
| He's disappointed in his son. | ||
| Well, Owen's doing it, a lot of the time, especially early on, Owen's doing an impression of Alex, trying to be the next Alex. | ||
| Which is how you make your dad disappointed in you. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so that never really felt that great. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| This just feels like humans, like bonding. | ||
| I meant specifically them gloat laughing over the fact that they're still on air. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| That, again, I've let that go. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it's nice of them, it is nice that they're kind of... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| You gotta put heavy air quotes on air. | ||
| Yeah, that is a really good point. | ||
| That is a good point. | ||
| It's not like he's on network TV and he hasn't gotten canceled despite the odds. | ||
| True, true. | ||
| But it's never good to hear a gloat laugh. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's never good to hear a gloat laugh, especially in this circumstance. | ||
| That's true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's true. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So they go out to break with their gloat laugh. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And then they come back. | ||
| All right, I want to play the trailer from Mark Wahlberg, who we know is a patriot conservative. | ||
| I don't care that he's a great actor or like his movies, but we know he's a patriot. | ||
| People that are around him is what he does. | ||
| But The Shooter is such an important movie to watch, and I'm glad that the callers brought that up. | ||
| Then we'll go to a bunch of speakers here in a moment. | ||
| But, man, this movie is all you need to know about how they set stuff up. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| Yes, apparently Mark Wahlberg is a patriot. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Here's a pitch. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Being John Malkovich. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Exactly like that. | ||
| But being Mark Wahlberg and you immediately, like, time warp into 9-11 and he's on one of the flights, right? | ||
| Then becomes a hero for all of this stuff in a Patriot. | ||
| And then... | ||
| That's your movie. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| What's Mark Wahlberg's life like if Wahlberg never happens because it's... | ||
| I would take this a completely different direction. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I would say that Mark Wahlberg goes back in time and decides not to commit that hate crime. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Then we flash forward to the present and Alex doesn't say this shit about him being a great patriot. | ||
| I think maybe that's more what Alex is talking about. | ||
| I think you might win this one. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So he gets a guy on Twitter who's coming in, has a really interesting question about Trump choosing J.D. Vance as his running mate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'm having trouble really wrapping my head around. | |
| It could very well be that this was a deep state plot, but it's also, I'm thinking that it could be just blatant incompetence by the Secret Service, and that this has been going on for a long time, that they've been Swiss cheese for a while, and finally this guy got through the hole. | ||
| And the thing that I guess I'm confused on and haven't really heard many people give an explanation for is why Trump, of all people that he could have picked for a VP, decides to go with an anti-Trumper in J.D. Vance who has a background with Silicon Valley and Peter Thiel and Palantir with government contracts and the like. | ||
| And then he goes and disavows all of the Trump loyalists from 2016. | ||
| That we're part of the Heritage Foundation in Project 2025. | ||
| So I'm concerned because the rhetoric is definitely not the same with the RNC this year than it was in 2016 with Trump. | ||
| And I'm afraid that he's getting sort of enveloped in the deep state itself right now with even Tucker Carlson. | ||
| Tucker Carlson texted, I think it was an AP article, he had texted during the... | ||
| Dominion Voting Systems trial through Discovery, how much of a Trump hater he was there, too. | ||
| And now, all of a sudden, these guys are Trump fans, and it seems to me that it's more because it's politically convenient for them now. | ||
| There's also text messages where he says, I love Trump, but I hate him. | ||
| I mean, that's like, I've sent him on personal text, God, Trump, he makes me really mad when he was pushing warp speed or whatever, and Tucker's addressed that. | ||
| J.D. Vance. | ||
| No, I do not think that was a staged shooting. | ||
| It's a little bit of a strange response because this guy's bringing up some... | ||
| Pretty decent criticisms within the conspiracy world. | ||
| He has the right position. | ||
| You should be distrustful of this move by Trump. | ||
| And it should be disillusioning a little bit to the fantasy narratives that are floating and animate Alex's entire program. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| But yeah, that's why Alex doesn't engage with it. | ||
| It's because this guy is... | ||
| In the same way that people are... | ||
| When David Icke is like... | ||
| You shouldn't like Elon Musk. | ||
| That's the correct conspiracy position. | ||
| This guy is right that you should be turning on Trump right about now. | ||
| It's going to be a little bit late after the election. | ||
| You need to make your move now. | ||
| Here's what I say Trump should do. | ||
| Because the Vance pick was a bad pick. | ||
| But that's not the point. | ||
| The point is any pick would have been a bad pick. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump... | |
| Is the reality TV show president. | ||
| You have a reality TV show to pick the vice president. | ||
| What are we doing? | ||
| That would have been interesting. | ||
| We have six candidates. | ||
| They compete in a bunch of physical challenges. | ||
| Who can steal the most from babies? | ||
| All of these things that are normal for Republican politicians. | ||
| Then they pick the final one. | ||
| Wouldn't be Vance. | ||
| It's not very quick. | ||
| I have often said that reality television, and especially Survivor, is quickly deteriorating to the point where one of the challenges... | ||
| Give me a cup of your blood. | ||
| I don't care how you do it. | ||
| Here's a cup. | ||
| Give it to me. | ||
| Give me your blood. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Yes. | ||
| And so that would be, like, I would love to see the RNC at the end of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| He just has Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan in front of him. | ||
| And they just have to scratch holes in their body trying to squeeze out little droplets of blood. | ||
| Whoever gives me three ounces of blood first, you're my VP. | ||
| Here's what I say. | ||
| I say I love your idea, but let's make it, because listen, that's just too violent to show on TV. | ||
| All right? | ||
| We have a blood drive-off, alright? | ||
| They both have the IVs hooked up there. | ||
| They gotta squeeze trying who gets the blood out fast enough. | ||
| That just comes down to, like, hydration, though, doesn't it? | ||
| I genuinely do not have any clue what that comes down to at all. | ||
| Probably not just hydration, but... | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| That, I think, gets away from what I'm talking about, about the darkness and uglyness of reality TV. | ||
| I get what you're saying. | ||
| I get what you're saying. | ||
| I'm trying to punch it up for the middle. | ||
| So let's hear some of Tucker's texts. | ||
| Yes, I do. | ||
| So on January 4th, 2021, just two days before Trump's fans stormed the Capitol, Tucker texted, quote, We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. | ||
| I truly can't wait. | ||
| I hate him passionately. | ||
| I can't handle much more of this. | ||
| After January 6th, Tucker said to his producer of Trump, quote, He's a demonic force, a destroyer, but he's not going to destroy us. | ||
| I've been thinking about this every day for four years. | ||
| In another text, he discussed the Trump presidency, saying, quote, In a text to his producer just after the 2020 election, Tucker said of Trump's business ventures, quote, All of them fail. | ||
| What he's good at is destroying things. | ||
| He's the undisputed world champion of that. | ||
| So anyway, I think he's a cynical fuck who knows exactly what he's doing, and now his brand has pivoted into this weird, there's a spiritual battle going on! | ||
| I see demons! | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Kind of nonsense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He knows, behind all of that, what he's doing. | ||
| Yeah, I doubt there's really going to be another football league to compete with the NFL. | ||
| Specifically because of Trump. | ||
| True. | ||
| So, there you go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
True. | |
| That was in another one of Tucker's texts. | ||
| Complaining about competition with the NFL. | ||
| Yeah, they shouldn't have a monopoly. | ||
| What are you going to do? | ||
| So that guy didn't think that the Trump assassination was staged. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| But that was the way that Alex distracted away from his points about J.D. Vance. | ||
| Very good points about J.D. Vance. | ||
| And then we get another caller who does think that the whole thing was staged. | ||
| Give it to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's talk about Donald Trump and let's talk about this shooting. | |
| First of all, you've got to know history of Donald Trump. | ||
| And this goes all the way back into the '90s. | ||
| So you know Donald Trump for being rich. | ||
| You know him for being an elite. | ||
| You know him for being in real estate. | ||
| You know him for being a reality TV star. | ||
| You know him for doing WWE wrestling. | ||
| You know him for fake news. | ||
| You know him by their fruits. | ||
| After the shooting happened, who became his spokesperson, Hulk Hogan, on TV? | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| I've been in movies. | ||
| People say I'm fake because I was in a movie and played a part. | ||
| I think you're fake forever. | ||
| I'll come back to you, but this is just BS. | ||
| They tried to kill him legitimately. | ||
| Hulk Hogan's a great guy. | ||
| Hulk Hogan's a good guy! | ||
| Also, flashback in time and see if Hulk Hogan stops himself from talking about how mad he would be if his daughter dated a black guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And see if Alex still thinks he's a great dude. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Probably not. | ||
| I think maybe there's a trend between some of this stuff. | ||
| But I think that it is interesting that Alex responds with almost he's offended by the suggestion that something could be fake. | ||
| The cornerstone of his career is saying that things were fake for way less evidence than what this guy is saying. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, I appreciate just the really staggering list of large-scale lies that you can put together for Trump, and I can think of like 50 more that maybe I would put higher. | ||
| True, true. | ||
| I still don't think any of it rationally justifies thinking that it was a faked assassination attack. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| But you can understand when you're in the world of Alex and everything is faked and everything is a conspiracy around every corner, that list of lies and shit, It should make Alex be like, this would be perfect to be faked. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But he's not, because he's strategic about this shit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And it's all just a narrative crutch. | ||
| Yeah, it does. | ||
| Like, okay. | ||
| So, I mean, the guy's point is fairly simple and straightforward, and I agree with it, right? | ||
| So if you have the most honest politician in the world that gets shot, you're like, well, that probably wasn't staged. | ||
| But if you have the most dishonest politician in the world, you're like, big old piece of shit. | ||
| It's more likely that this is staged than the most honest person in the world. | ||
| Big old piece of shit liar who's known for working in the WWE is a Hall of Famer. | ||
| It does feel as though that would be more ripe for the possibility, if not the suspicion. | ||
| Has been stunned. | ||
| Has gotten the Stone Cold Stunner. | ||
| I agree that this could be more likely to be a reason. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Still incorrect, but it is far more reasonable than otherwise. | ||
| And it makes it, like, silly for this to be Alex's response. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because he's Alex fucking Jones. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| Oh, please. | ||
| Like, he would fake something so important. | ||
| Like, I agree. | ||
| I agree with Alex at the end of the day that it is absurd to think that he would fake this. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's a bad idea to fake it because those were real bullets. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And your brain is there. | ||
| Someone was killed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's just absolutely bizarre to imagine that they would do that. | ||
| But... | ||
| It's not fair for Alex. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No. | ||
| Just because I agree with the conclusion that it's silly to think this is fake. | ||
| It's offensive that Alex's response is that. | ||
| I mean, I do appreciate the idea of faking a presidential assassination, right? | ||
| These guys are like, we're going to fake this, but we're going to use real everything. | ||
| And let's, look, there's a 25, 50% chance he goes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's so bad. | |
| We got Tucker's texts, you know? | ||
| And also, let's make sure that the person that we blame this on changes pants. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it is funny, the idea of staging a presidential assassination. | ||
| That is, could go either way and you're happy. | ||
| Like, it's a win-win assassination. | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| What a weird world we've chosen to live in. | ||
| So Alex tries to respond to this caller. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And I don't think it's, I don't think it's good. | ||
| Trump's been involved in movies, TV shows, everywhere. | ||
| Did some professional wrestling stuff. | ||
| We know when we watch him with Vince McMahon doing a joke piece that's separate. | ||
| It's like when the media says, Jones has been in a few movies. | ||
| He's an actor. | ||
| They play that game. | ||
| When I'm an actor in a movie, you know I'm an actor in a movie. | ||
| When I'm on this show, it's me. | ||
| So the idea that Trump has done some wrestling, and now that Hulk Hogan, who called into the show 10 years ago, and I know was a listener, is now saying, screw this. | ||
| This is wrong. | ||
| This happened in America. | ||
| It's like this weird thing. | ||
| Alex Jones is in the same city as Stratford, some CIA propaganda firm. | ||
| And they go, well, that's it. | ||
| He's in the town of two million. | ||
| He works for Stratford. | ||
| It's mentally retarded. | ||
| And I'm 100% real. | ||
| I'm up here calling what's going on. | ||
| I'm defending the republic. | ||
| But people do this thing like, oh, it's all staged. | ||
| Well, then you're staged. | ||
| In fact, I'll go to Garrett in a minute. | ||
| Garrett, I say you're CIA. | ||
| I say everybody's bad. | ||
| Nobody's good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You do! | |
| You work for Hulk Hogan. | ||
| That is what you say! | ||
| It's the same mindset. | ||
| I know Trump. | ||
| He's real. | ||
| He's not perfect. | ||
| He got shot. | ||
| The deep state has done all these indictments and all these attacks and done all these things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So... | |
| Professional wrestling is a super popular thing. | ||
| It's Americana. | ||
| And so is UFC. | ||
| Trump's associated with it all. | ||
| I mean, hell, I'm associated with it because I know Joe Rogan forever. | ||
| I'm into UFC things, you name it. | ||
| So my issue here is they don't fake somebody getting a shot in the ear. | ||
| You can see it. | ||
| Real people died there. | ||
| And so it's just, to me, preposterous when this is going down and the deep state is definitely against Trump to then say it stayed. | ||
| So explain to me... | ||
| You mentioned a bunch of stuff. | ||
| Oh, he knows Hulk Hogan and he was in movies, so that means he's whatever. | ||
| Explain it to me. | ||
| What are you saying Trump did? | ||
| Who is he working for? | ||
| Do we vote for Joe Biden or do we vote for Kamala Harris? | ||
| What are you saying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I say you vote for none of the above and you vote for Jesus Christ and you start telling all the info warriors out there to repent from idol worship and to vote for Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ only because he's the only one that's going to save us. | |
| Let me ask you. | ||
| Am I a fake? | ||
| Am I an actor? | ||
| Yes! | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't think you're an actor all the time. | |
| I think you might say have some of the truth, but you might not be telling everybody the whole truth. | ||
| Well, I'm not God. | ||
| I appreciate your call. | ||
| So I don't know the whole truth. | ||
| But I'll assure you, son, that I'm telling what I believe to be the truth. | ||
| That is my North Star. | ||
| That is what I want to hit. | ||
| God, these people don't believe there's good. | ||
| They don't believe that there's any good in the universe, and that's the problem. | ||
| Which is weird, because every time they tell me that they don't believe in good, I bring up Trump, Vince McMahon, Hulk Hogan, Dana White. | ||
| You know, I just bring up people who are billionaires, or at least extremely wealthy, and are racists, and have, at the very least, violently assaulted women. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Strange. | ||
| Yeah, weird how those are your buds who are good in this world. | ||
| Now, there's something interesting going on here with Alex's response to this guy, his response, and then the way Alex just sort of shuts down, kind of. | ||
| And that is that Alex's response is not good. | ||
| It's just kind of like, hey, you know when something's fake. | ||
| Or whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Helpful. | |
| And then this guy, he tries to sort of sell this guy out by being like, hey, so what should we do? | ||
| Vote for Biden? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he gives the answer that no, we should vote for Jesus Christ. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And this is the exact answer Alex should be giving. | ||
| So, I mean, yeah, there's no argument for Alex. | ||
| We need to get away from idol worship. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Okay, that's right. | ||
| Alex can't argue with that. | ||
| Can't do it. | ||
| And then Alex is just kind of like, okay, let's make this personal. | ||
| Am I fake? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Son, first, I'm going to diminutize you and insult you to your face, because you're my fan. | ||
| Second, I am going to invalidate everything I have ever believed. | ||
| The point that you're making, I cannot argue with within my sort of... | ||
| Cosmology. | ||
| My structure. | ||
| And so I will insult you and make this personal as if you're attacking me. | ||
| I guess, eh, whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Good stuff. | ||
| When Alex was making a fair amount of money about Sandy Hook and really making a lot of people's lives pretty miserable, one of the reasons that he claimed he did that is because the details didn't match up. | ||
| Oh, I thought it was because he was drunk. | ||
| Well, that's sort of a real-world piece of it. | ||
| Oh, okay, okay. | ||
| But in his mind, there were these details, there were these anomalies that didn't match up. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so you would think, when you're discussing with a caller about the Trump assassination attempt... | |
| Details that don't match up. | ||
| Details would be so important. | ||
| Like eight bullets fired. | ||
| these details. | ||
| It's got to be important. | ||
| Or maybe it's not. | ||
| Maybe you should have jumped to conclusions. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, when Ray was talking about it, he was referring to a car. | |
| He wasn't referring to a van. | ||
| So it'd be interesting, like, did they ever go to Home Depot and get the Here's what's happening. | ||
| They want us to get all caught up in the minutia. | ||
| And so... | ||
| and then this happens and there's a stand down, they did it. | ||
| 98% of the evidence points towards that. | ||
| You'd have to override your common sense. | ||
| Now members of Congress and others are saying, we know you tried to kill him. | ||
| That freaks the deep state out. | ||
| If they know people aren't buying their story, they won't try it again. | ||
| That's why I said 11 days ago, and I said again today and yesterday, the day before, the day before that, we've got to point out we don't buy any of this. | ||
| Yeah, so this is really more, I think, an accurate articulation of what Alex does, which is like, jump to a conclusion. | ||
| The details are for rationalizing later, but... | ||
| What he used to do is pretend that it was detail forward. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He used to pretend that he's sniffing out these conspiracies and getting to the bottom of it and presenting you the evidence. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And now he's just like, come on! | ||
| It's so obvious! | ||
| Yeah, but at the beginning of those events, he always has somebody who is like the water, or who can test the waters. | ||
| You know, he's always got somebody coming in who's like... | ||
| A Wolfgang Halbig or something who he can point to is like, well, I can ask questions and I think you're probably right, but you're the one who's saying 100% that this is the case. | ||
| But realistically, that's not true. | ||
| Alex, the day of the shooting, in terms of Sandy Hook, was speculating about stuff. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Before he had Steve Pchenik or Wolfgang Halbig or any of these people on, even James Tracy. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Before that, he was talking about the video of Robbie Parker at a press conference. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And speculating about how he looked like an actor. | ||
| Like, I think that we have a perception that he uses a lot of other people for cover. | ||
| And I think Alex would wish that that was more consistent in his life. | ||
| But I think he does a lot of it himself. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I don't know if I mean cover so much as, like, that kind of soft launch of the narrative to his audience. | ||
| So with Alex, like, I remember, of course, on the day of, he was like, ah, this is probably stage. | ||
| But then on the next day... | ||
| He was like, eh, maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. | ||
| And then he's got people who are going to back him up. | ||
| He does need people to be tools. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| For narrative purposes. | ||
| It's the narrative development. | ||
| Not that I agree with you on the same day, but the narrative development, I don't feel like he's got anymore because he doesn't have the roster of... | ||
| Bullshitters that he used to have. | ||
| He used to have a fucking heavy hitter's role. | ||
| Larry Nichols is dead. | ||
| Steve Pechenik has fallen out of grace. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is ripe for a Pechenik comeback. | ||
| You've got Roger, but he kind of has his own agenda. | ||
| He's not as fun and silly. | ||
| He doesn't take his biggest wings. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| This doesn't involve the Vatican, so Leo Zagami isn't relevant. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You got Twitter people. | ||
| That sucks! | ||
| Yeah, that sucks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I think... | ||
| I mean, you got Chase. | ||
| What, are you gonna get the Krasensteins back to be like, oh, I think it was staged! | ||
| Yeah, it doesn't hit as hard. | ||
| Oh, worst. | ||
| So Alex takes a call from a guy who claims that he ran a tabletop exercise for the Biden inauguration for the government. | ||
| I don't believe him. | ||
| Like... | ||
| With a bunch of his friends as elves? | ||
| Well, I hope. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that'd be fun. | |
| The way he's presenting it is like, I basically ran the Secret Service war games and stuff. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| And my mom brought apple slices. | ||
| Yeah, I don't really believe him, so I'm going to go ahead and skip that clip. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because we have more important business at hand. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And that is that Chase wants to follow up with Alex about whether or not he called in the Angel of Death. | ||
| No. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Even a small light. | ||
| God Almighty, I'm so real, folks. | ||
| I love freedom. | ||
| I'm willing to die for it. | ||
| So these callers, I love them to death. | ||
| They call in thinking everything's some big setup. | ||
| Evil ain't that powerful. | ||
| Even a small light eradicates all darkness. | ||
| Stop giving in to the evil's idea that it's in charge. | ||
| God is in charge. | ||
| It pisses me off. | ||
| People don't understand how much good there is in this country. | ||
| But we don't have the high ground. | ||
| But we're going to get control of the government. | ||
| And I pray for our enemies. | ||
| Yeah, I'm praying. | ||
| Because I'm not a vengeful person, but it's got to be done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Did you pray for the angel of death? | ||
| Because some people did die recently. | ||
| I was worried you first started doing that. | ||
| No, I talked to my pastors. | ||
| That's Old Testament. | ||
| I shouldn't do it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Shouldn't do it. | |
| But God, you know something? | ||
| I've only prayed five or six times and asked for something. | ||
| Just always prayed, God, tell me what to do. | ||
| Every time I prayed, God gave it to me like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| And I told the story if you wouldn't believe it. | ||
| It's real. | ||
| No, I don't take it for granted. | ||
| It's not me. | ||
| But I got a direct line to God. | ||
| So does every other person, too, though. | ||
| It's a big secret. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
| That's a big secret. | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| You know what it is? | ||
| Chase is the only person who knows how to ride Alex's energy. | ||
| It's a scene partner. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Chase is a good scene partner. | ||
| He's the only person who I've ever seen who could co-host a show with Alex. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| That's it. | ||
| That's what it is. | ||
| He knows the vibe. | ||
| No, he's a theater kid. | ||
| He's doing the theater kid shit. | ||
| He's just like, yeah, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Holy shit. | ||
| He's yes-anding. | ||
| He's doing the whole thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I know this kid has taken improv classes for sure. | ||
| Alex, some people died recently. | ||
| Did you actually call it the angel? | ||
| For sure. | ||
| Would you like to confess to murder? | ||
| That was a 100% premise. | ||
| He even laughed at it. | ||
| He was making fun of Alex. | ||
| He was making fun of Alex. | ||
| To his face! | ||
| Also, that is something that in general Infowars world would have just been some dumb bullshit that Alex said and no one would ever bring back up that, hey, wait, the angel of death exists in our continuity. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Chase is like, we gotta follow up on this. | ||
| I've seen some people die recently. | ||
| Did you do it? | ||
| Did you pray them dead? | ||
| It's interesting because it offers two possibilities. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| One, Alex can do what he did do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And say, like, no, it's too serious. | ||
| I'm a good person. | ||
| I talk to my pastor. | ||
| We don't want to open Pandora's box on this one and give me death laser powers. | ||
| Once you open the death note, there's no going back. | ||
| Or, I mean, Chase would have no idea what Alex would want to do with the story. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It opens up the possibility for Alex to be like, yes, I did. | ||
| I did take some people out, and I will not comment any further. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, that's, like, what do you say if you have confessed to holy murder? | ||
| Bring me to court. | ||
| I dare you. | ||
| Sure, but, I mean, we've got the courts of heaven. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They're available. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But the angel of death is cool in the courts of heaven. | ||
| That is a good point. | ||
| This is only morally wrong based on your weird human understanding. | ||
| That is a good point. | ||
| Your terrestrial understanding. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Try and take me to court. | ||
| I'll call the angel of death. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, wait, wait. | |
| I'm confused as to how my understanding is confusing whenever, like, it's Alex whose desire is being executed by a ghastly apparition of death. | ||
| The ghastly apparition of death would only do it... | ||
| If it was in line with a larger purpose that Alex is in sync with. | ||
| So what if he doesn't ask? | ||
| Then the angel of death doesn't do it? | ||
| It's entirely dependent on whether or not Alex kind of feels like it? | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| Okay, I like it. | ||
| I like this religion. | ||
| I'm joining it. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's all very dumb. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| So, the rest of this show... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| You know, Alex cleared the deck of all the guests. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Except for he has a guest. | ||
| He has Stella Emanuel. | ||
| Oh, that's right. | ||
| He's got... | ||
| Oh, no! | ||
| No! | ||
| To do what he said she was going to do? | ||
| No. | ||
| I don't believe that comes up. | ||
| Oh, thank God. | ||
| But she wants... | ||
| She's on to do a fucking infomercial. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I wanted to get her fellow Texan up here to Austin from outside Houston. | ||
| She's going to host the fourth hour today, but I wanted to get her on, plus she's a great sponsor. | ||
| So before we get into all the news, the analysis with Dr. Stella Emanuel, medical doctor, I just want to up front plug her products because everybody needs them on the shelf, plus they support the broadcast. | ||
| They're the very best out there, and whether it's prescriptions you can call, they've got those people who can do all that, or whether it is high-quality supplements, they've got it. | ||
| So you need to come here to do this, but up front, you're keeping the show on air, plus these are great products people need. | ||
| Incredible product. | ||
| People need to buy from you. | ||
| They need to support you. | ||
| Whether it's telemedicine or whether it's supplements, you've got it all at the website. | ||
| So we've got another sponsor for Alex, apparently. | ||
| Stella Emanuel's weird pill operation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gross. | |
| So she's obviously one of the real crass COVID promoters who rose to prominence pushing hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin while also saying that gay people are possessed by demons and vaginal pain is often caused by having sex with ghosts. | ||
| She's on the show because she's one of the only folks left who will be a sponsor on InfoWars, so Alex is doing an infomercial with her and has given her the fourth hour of the show to promote her shit and preach. | ||
| It's pretty funny, though. | ||
| Like, if you go to her site, you'll find that a shockingly high number of her products have names that are a play on COVID. | ||
| Like her electrolyte drink, Covalite, or her hair loss supplement, Cova Hairwitz. | ||
| I'm sorry? | ||
| Her sleep aid, Cova Sleep. | ||
| Or her thyroid product, Cova Dine. | ||
| It's almost like as if she knows exactly where her bread is buttered and what she's doing. | ||
| Anyway, a lot of these con artists try and cash in a bit on the hysteria that they themselves create, but I don't know if I've encountered a line of products that are so blunt in their presentation as those that Stella Emanuel is selling. | ||
| It's wild. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I am imagining even the most, like, psychopathic advertising exec is like, hey, listen, I love branding, but we gotta pull it back just a hair. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| This is nutso. | ||
| You're selling a Gatorade called Kovalite. | ||
| I do branding. | ||
| All the time. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| It means nothing. | ||
| But this is too much, even for me. | ||
| It's a little desperate. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, we're not going to listen to a ton of her because, whatever, I don't really care. | ||
| I mean, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's paid programming. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Essentially. | ||
| But there's a couple of... | ||
| Like swords! | ||
| Like Coach McGurk buying swords. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's spaghetti time. | ||
| It's spaghetti time. | ||
| But there are a couple moments that I think are of note. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| And here's one. | ||
| Let's be clear. | ||
| Since I said it, I want the crew to find out. | ||
| I showed this one earlier. | ||
| It came out two months ago. | ||
| AP Reuters is everywhere. | ||
| Federal government was the headline. | ||
| Federal government paid CVS Walgreens not to prescribe ivermectin hydroxychloroquine. | ||
| They paid him $2 billion. | ||
| Up front were ready, knowing it was the answer to block it. | ||
| That's why they wouldn't fulfill it. | ||
| But you did. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So that's not true. | |
| Pharmacies were paid quite a bit in terms of COVID relief funding from the government. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| But at no point were they specifically instructed to not fill prescriptions for these medications. | ||
| This is an intentional misrepresentation of a federal court ruling that pharmacists could use discretion in filling prescriptions that come in. | ||
| This was due to a case that involved a couple in Minnesota who got a prescription from a doctor in Missouri and were subsequently trying to get this prescription filled at a Walmart and then a Hy-Vee and they were both denied. | ||
| However, it's pretty obvious how this kind of decision could be used to justify all kinds of other pharmaceutical prohibitions, like access to things like reproductive health care. | ||
| It's already the case that many pharmacies, even ones run by big chains like Walgreens, have refused to fill prescriptions for birth control or emergency contraceptions. | ||
| So this is something that cuts both directions. | ||
| It's a messy question, and there's a part of me that says that they should just let these people fill their prescriptions for these medications that aren't going to work. | ||
| You know, whatever. | ||
| But then there's another side of this that knows that if all of these people have carte blanche to buy up all these drugs... | ||
| It's very messy. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| There's an interesting question that I want to be like, hey... | ||
| Shut it down. | ||
| Stop this bullshit. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| But there's another end of it that hurts people. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I guess, like, ultimately, it's just we need to get advertising and shit like that out of politics. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Like, we wouldn't have ivermectin hydrochloric when... | ||
| Prescriptions that people were, not fraudulently, but ineffectually trying to fulfill if it wasn't for a group of people who turned it into a political movement to do that. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| I think it's mostly people who are looking to squeeze out profits with supplement. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Much like people who have COVID product lines. | ||
| No, it's that. | ||
| It's abortion for politics. | ||
| It's people who are turning reproductive care into a political thing for the pharmacy. | ||
| Like, all of this stuff, we shouldn't even be here with a law that's like, hey, you guys can choose. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, probably not. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's something that I was thinking about while I was listening to Stella Emanuel that I think is pretty interesting. | ||
| And that is that, like... | ||
| I don't agree with the end result, which is telling people that hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin are going to be good treatments and preventatives for COVID. | ||
| You shouldn't take this seriously and that kind of shit. | ||
| I think that's bad. | ||
| But what she's actually doing is there is a difficulty, and that is that some prescriptions won't fill your out-of-state drug mill prescriptions that you're selling to people. | ||
| And so you've created a network of pharmacies that you know will fulfill these prescriptions. | ||
| And I think that should birth control be completely unavailable to people and other reproductive health products and stuff like that, were someone to do this with birth control, I don't think that I would be opposed to it. | ||
| I don't think underlying the method... | ||
| The sort of structure of this I don't have a problem with. | ||
| I think there's a profiteering motive that I'm somewhat opposed to. | ||
| And I think that the problem that they're solving is a scam. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, essentially your point is that when the law bans something that people want bad enough, they really just create a market. | ||
| And people are going to fill that market because there's a lot of money. | ||
| And we live in a capitalist country, so that's what you're supposed to do. | ||
| And when there isn't actually a ban, you introduce a space where someone like this can come in and create the perception that there's a ban and then create this market. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it's a little bit like Alex. | ||
| As much as you want to blame people... | ||
| It's like there was a job opening. | ||
| It's not like people didn't want this and they just made it whole cloth. | ||
| They stepped into a place where people already wanted what they were doing. | ||
| It's why did people want the hydro? | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Because you can't stop... | ||
| Because if it wasn't her, it'd be somebody else. | ||
| And if it's banned in America, there'll be somebody from Mexico or somebody from Canada. | ||
| It's just not how it works. | ||
| In essence, what this is is kind of a natural evolution of the unregulated supplement market and how sort of destructive that is and how lucrative that is. | ||
| I think that because of the merging of... | ||
| Sort of ascendant anti-vax voices, the real shock to the system that COVID represented. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I think that those things combining with supplement marketing businesses and that profit motive, it feels like this is almost a natural evolution of that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's pretty fucked up. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, you have people who lie, people who want to be lied to, a massive emergency that makes everybody panic, and then, you know, a market for whatever you want that you can exploit. | ||
| I don't even think, you know, people are almost not even involved. | ||
| It's like just market forces are making all of this happen. | ||
| Well, some... | ||
| People are definitely making a lot of money. | ||
| No, no, no, I'm sure. | ||
| I'm sure they're making a lot of money, but if it weren't them, it would be somebody else making a lot of money. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And that doesn't take away culpability, but it does sort of help explain what's happening. | ||
| Identify with the real problem. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Now, at the same time, she just gives some advice that is really responsible. | ||
| So we put together a package, seven antibiotics you will need in an emergency, if you need to travel abroad, if you're locked down, so you can get that and be able to have this in your medicine cabinet. | ||
| Not for you to use... | ||
| Now, this is a no-brainer. | ||
| It supports the broadcast, but it's secondary. | ||
| Everybody stockpile this. | ||
| It lasts for years. | ||
| It's a win-win. | ||
| And you've got the best prices ready to go. | ||
| People need to keep us on air and get ready and have this. | ||
| Let me tell you one thing else. | ||
| If you have... | ||
| There are people that got their ivermectin stock up two years ago and they're sending us messages that, oh, it's expired. | ||
| Don't worry about it. | ||
| They did a study in the military and they found out that... | ||
| Medicines are usually good five to seven years after the expiration date on the bottle. | ||
| So do not throw away your medicines. | ||
| Kind of keep it because, you know, keep your pills. | ||
| I saw the studies. | ||
| At first, they're maximum, but over like five years, maybe you lose 10% effect. | ||
| It's still good. | ||
| Yes, but it's still very good. | ||
| So don't throw away your medicines. | ||
| It works. | ||
| It's going to continue to work for years after the expiration date. | ||
| This is super dangerous advice for Stella to be giving out because she's a doctor and she's being presented as someone giving medical advice. | ||
| It is true enough that some medications just lose effectiveness after their expiration date, but some of them can really hurt you because they degrade into toxic compounds, You don't really know which one poses a danger, so when she says it's usually okay, that's really bad. | ||
| It's generally best to err on the side of expiration dates, just in case. | ||
| There are some things that can cause serious damage after they've expired, but antibiotics are actually one of the things that just become less effective, and that's actually why they're dangerous. | ||
| Ineffective antibiotics are how you create antibiotic-resistant infections. | ||
| So what Stella is promoting here is seriously irresponsible messaging. | ||
| I would not go with this. | ||
| I would say you shouldn't behave this way. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, these people, so many of them, obsessed with what they put into their body. | |
| Obsessed with what the government might be putting in their body. | ||
| But they're willing to just trust medication. | ||
| I don't trust medications. | ||
| Because I don't understand them on a fundamental level. | ||
| Like, I get that there are the chemicals to a certain gram level. | ||
| Of what it is you're putting inside of there, right? | ||
| I still don't really understand the rest of it. | ||
| Well, you don't understand it fully, but you trust it in as much as under the care of a doctor in pharmacies. | ||
| They seem extremely confident. | ||
| I have pattern recognition. | ||
| It's worked for other people. | ||
| I'm going to roll with it. | ||
| But I'm not going to just be like, eh, I think I got it from here. | ||
| That's not how that works! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Chemicals! | |
| Yeah, I do think it's interesting that you have, like, I won't drink tap water, but expired medications are totally fine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you kidding me? | |
| Okay. | ||
| That's crazy chemicals! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And some of it, like, you don't understand it fully at all. | ||
| Like, what happens when a chemical is past its expiration date? | ||
| Does it become something else? | ||
| Is there an inherent vulnerability that this substance has to bacteria over time? | ||
| Totally. | ||
| What is the reason for this particular thing's expiration date? | ||
| I just think that this is reckless as hell. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And you can tell that it is motivated by profit motivation. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| The way that they're like, yeah. | ||
| You got the best prices, so stockpile all these drugs that I'm going to write you a prescription for out of state and then tell you a pharmacy that you can go get it from. | ||
| I think it's a little bit... | ||
| It's reckless. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's a little bit like when a cop is like, oh, if fentanyl touches your skin, you'll explode! | ||
| I definitely didn't do some fentanyl. | ||
| Well, Alex has told us that a fake hand is going to poison Trump with fentanyl. | ||
| Ooh, that'd be fun. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| I mean, I think that it's somewhat in line with, you know, end times-y stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| You've got a survival food bucket. | ||
| You don't really give a shit about the expiration date of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So, this kind of vibe fits, and it all makes sense, but it is also like, you're a doctor. | ||
| You shouldn't be behaving like this in order to sell prescriptions for antibiotics. | ||
| It is always fun whenever we have so many post-apocalyptic visions of the future and all these people are talking about PrEP and all that shit. | ||
| In my head, I'm like, listen, if civilization collapses and they stop making my meds, we don't have to worry about much. | ||
| You'll be gone in a little bit. | ||
| I'll be taken care of. | ||
| Or we'll all be. | ||
| Here's the distinction that I'm trying to get to. | ||
| Like, Matt Bracken is somebody that Alex has on who's like a doomsday prepper-ish type of weirdo who loves guns and predicts a race war. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Right? | ||
| If he's saying expired antibiotics are fine when you're in your hole or whatever, I don't really... | ||
| I mean, I think it's probably not a great message, but it makes sense from him. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| She's supposed to be a doctor. | ||
| And so it hits different a little bit. | ||
| It does. | ||
| It does. | ||
| I mean, I... | ||
| There's a greater irresponsibility to it. | ||
| There is. | ||
| I think there's a part of that of, like, you know, they're able to take advantage of the fact that maybe people trust doctors a little too much. | ||
| You know? | ||
| So there's definitely that. | ||
| That's an abuse of authority. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| No, I mean, people trust authority too much. | ||
| Well, maybe. | ||
| Anyway, we come to the end of this, and the rest of this is just Ella Emanuel, and Alex gives her the fourth hour, and not great. | ||
| But, yeah, this is weird. | ||
| A little portent of racism to come about Harris. | ||
| That was a barrage of racism that... | ||
| It goes back to the classics, almost. | ||
| I mean, literally, I don't think I've heard a lot of that since pre-Civil War literature. | ||
| But it also, it's shocking in that sense. | ||
| But it also, I do think that it kind of indicates a lack of a lot of footing. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I think that Alex may have an over-reliance on racism and tropes that will go in that direction. | ||
| I don't think he has a good, firm leg to stand on in terms of how to approach the potential of a Harris candidacy. | ||
| I think you've just described importance even worse than I could have imagined, which is eventually they're all going to figure out that they really don't have much. | ||
| So it's just going to be nonstop racism. | ||
| I think that there might be... | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| Anyway, we'll have another episode. | ||
| Dan, you made me feel bad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, well, that's what this show does, I guess. | |
| Well, what are you going to do? | ||
| We'll be back. | ||
| But until then, we have a website. | ||
| Indeed we do. | ||
| It's knowledgeright.com. | ||
| We'll be back. | ||
| But until then, I'm Leo. | ||
