In this installment, Dan and Jordan check in to see the fallout of the big Elon/Trump interview, which is mostly telling stories about people giving him money at cafes, being disgusting while misreporting stories involving migrant crime, and once again cracking the Trump assassination plot wide open.

|
I'm Dan. | |
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| We're a couple dudes like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| Oh, indeed we are. | ||
| Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Quick question for you. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| What's your bright spot today, buddy? | ||
| Why don't you go first? | ||
| My bright spot is drums. | ||
| My bright spot is drums, my man. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So I was looking around, found this series of videos on Drumeo. | ||
| Or whatever it's called. | ||
| And they have all these really, really great drummers. | ||
| And they'll bring them in and they'll play them a song without a drum track. | ||
| They'll play them a popular song or whatever it is. | ||
| And they'll have them write a drum track for it. | ||
| So it's like... | ||
| It's why I love drumming and drummers so much is because there really is, for a drummer, there's only two types of music. | ||
| There's the groove and then there's no groove. | ||
| The groove's in the heart. | ||
| Yeah, so all of these drummers are listening to this stuff that they would never otherwise listen to. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Writing their own parts and then bringing what they've got to it. | ||
| So you've got a draz drummer listening to some sort of metal and then they'll add like a swing to it that you would never hear otherwise. | ||
| See, that's interesting. | ||
| I was thinking that the conclusion is going to be that they end up recreating something shockingly close to the original drum track. | ||
| Well, I mean... | ||
| Like there is a correct way for the drums to go. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| No, there's an infinite number of... | ||
| And then... | ||
| But so then... | ||
| The coolest thing happens is then it takes you to my favorite metal drummers because metal drummers just think in polyrhythms. | ||
| And there's this video of Danny Carey from Tool, which I hadn't listened to Tool for like 15, 20 years, which was awesome. | ||
| But he was playing, they've got a live show where they've got the camera just on him. | ||
| Playing Numa, which is like a 12-minute long song, and it is one of the most technically perfect and beautiful drum... | ||
| Like, you have to see it. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It is incredible. | ||
| That sounds exhausting. | ||
| It is so exhausting. | ||
| You have no idea. | ||
| You can't even... | ||
| Like, I genuinely couldn't begin to describe to you exactly what he does and how brilliant it is. | ||
| This can really get to you because you're a drummer, but I think for me, I got this out of my system when I watched Rush do YYZ. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| And so I could watch Neil Peart hit those skins. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| And maybe that was enough for me. | ||
| I understand what you're saying, but there's just no way really to describe the levels of technical... | ||
| Drumming that are happening right now. | ||
| And there's so many cool techniques, and now people have tablets where they're writing down a tablature as they're listening. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| When I was starting, it was sometimes surprising for people to be like, you can read music? | ||
| And now if you can't read music, quit. | ||
| Get out of there. | ||
| Shit. | ||
| Get out of there. | ||
| It is so fun. | ||
| You've got to know the clef. | ||
| It's so fun. | ||
| It's so fun. | ||
| Bass clef, treble clef, Y clef. | ||
| Oh, Jean-Luc Picard. | ||
| Well, that's fun. | ||
| Yeah, it's great. | ||
| What's your bright spot? | ||
| So my bright spot, I'll do a follow-up on our last episode. | ||
| I watched the first episode of The Challenge. | ||
| Ah! | ||
| And very exciting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| But I have a cheers and jeers. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| Cheers to a lot of the dynamics they're setting up on this season. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fantastic. | |
| There are a lot of people who have a lot of old business with each other. | ||
| Great. | ||
| That could get very explosive. | ||
| So great. | ||
| Jeers to a premiere episode with no eliminations in it. | ||
| They did not eliminate anybody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is true. | |
| They did not do any of the challenges. | ||
| We left on a cliffhanger, and I think that's bullshit. | ||
| If you're gonna do that, you need to have two-episode premiere. | ||
| They need to have... | ||
| You can't leave me hanging like this. | ||
| I can't disagree with you on any count. | ||
| You nailed it. | ||
| 100% correct. | ||
| Who are you pulling for this season other than CT? | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Fat CT has returned, which I love. | ||
| I love the return of Fat CT. | ||
| Dad CT. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| He went there, then he got ripped to start a movie, and now here we are. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| I'm back from the traitors. | ||
| Devin? | ||
| Devin had an all-time challenge moment in that episode. | ||
| When he decided to swim and didn't lose... | ||
| Nah. | ||
| Nailed it. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And then, you know, I'm gonna say it. | ||
| There's nothing I quite love as much as Laurel really pissing off Cara Maria over and over and over again by just being a little bit better than her. | ||
| Just a little bit? | ||
| Just a little bit better. | ||
| Not a ton? | ||
| Cara Maria is good at what she does. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's great! | |
| But not... | ||
| Not good enough. | ||
| I think the dynamic of Cara Maria having Pauly there against Laurel is gonna be... | ||
| Gonna be rough. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Her having support is not good. | ||
| I'm rooting for Leroy, as I often do. | ||
| I think he's actually bad, though. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| I think he's... | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| I mean, I've always... | ||
| No, I'm always rooting for Leroy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But even on the last season, Killer Cam was the one who was doing everything, and Leroy kind of is bad at it. | ||
| Maybe he's due for a resurgence. | ||
| He is. | ||
| He could... | ||
| And then, of course, Horacio and Norris... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Love them. | |
| Gotta pull for love. | ||
| They are my... | ||
| They are my shining star. | ||
| They're my north star. | ||
| They are who I want to follow in the apocalypse. | ||
| So yeah, exciting. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| We've got an episode to go over today, Jordan. | ||
| We're going to be talking about August 13th, 2024. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| That is the day after the interview with Elon Musk and Trump. | ||
| The fallout. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| On our last episode, we covered Alex's coverage of that. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And it was so boring. | ||
| Like, honestly, the interview was boring, and you could tell that Alex himself was bored. | ||
| And so I wanted to see the next day if he owned up to the fact that, like, that was not what I wanted. | ||
| He literally said, this is not what I want it to be. | ||
| He was yelling about horse semen throughout most of it. | ||
| It's just a disaster. | ||
| And so I thought, yeah, let's see where he's at. | ||
| So we'll check in on that. | ||
| But first, let's say hello to some new wonks. | ||
| Ooh, that's a great idea. | ||
| So first, what's the plan for episode 1000? | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| We're probably going to skip it. | ||
| Same thing as 900, 800, 700, 600, and five. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Next, am I the only one surprised that Alex hasn't created his own alcohol brand yet? | ||
| Free speech sippin'. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| He did have an American booze that he would promote for a while, but it was clearly just like he was taking a cut. | ||
| It wasn't like an Infowars spirit. | ||
| It was branding. | ||
| Spirit of 1776. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Next, Ambidextrous Orca. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| And Dan is to Jordan as Goblin is to Hobgoblin. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And we've got a technocrat in the mix, Jordan, so thank you so much, too. | ||
| Jose Monsanto and Kevin from Bangladesh have got together and started a breakfast cereal business, and business is good. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're 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. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's a loser little titty baby. | |
| I don't want to hate black people. | ||
| I renounce Jesus Christ! | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Now, Together in that is the number two, and then Gather. | ||
| And that really threw me for a loop, because it made me think of the Limp Bizkit and Method Man song in Together Now. | ||
| They had a song together. | ||
| They did. | ||
| Method Man was on a Limp Bizkit track. | ||
| I'm glad. | ||
| I'm sure everybody feels great about that now. | ||
| Yeah, definitely. | ||
| It holds up. | ||
| I bet! | ||
| I listened to it the other day while working out. | ||
| Because I was like, oh, that existed. | ||
| That was strange. | ||
| And then also, that spelling is also... | ||
| Do you remember that boy band parody show together to get her? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| With Chris Farley's brother? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I haven't thought about that in years. | ||
| No, but I saw that spelling of together. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah, that didn't even occur to me. | ||
| Because I was obviously the person who copied and pasted it into that email. | ||
| These are probably people from that show. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| That must be. | ||
| There's only one conclusion I can come to. | ||
| Or it's Method Man and Fritters. | ||
| So we start off the show and Alex is ruminating on the interview. | ||
| And how many people watched it? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| We're coming to you from the embattled Infowars studios in Central Texas, transmitting worldwide to conservatively. | ||
| Ten million people that will tune into the main show today conservatively. | ||
| Another 30, 40 million will watch clips of the show. | ||
| That's a great blessing. | ||
| But last night, and I confirmed the numbers, I went and looked. | ||
| The main show with Elon Musk, the two-hour interview with Musk and Trump. | ||
| Got over a billion clicks. | ||
| That's not views. | ||
| That's not just looking at it on the screen or going past it. | ||
| A billion people clicked on it. | ||
| And the numbers are coming out that the average time spent listening on there was over an hour. | ||
| For those that don't know, if you've got people listening to radio for 20 minutes, that's great. | ||
| That's time spent listening. | ||
| You know, when it's Elon Musk interviewing Trump for two hours, if your average viewing is an hour, then it's people who did not watch the whole thing. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| So what Alex is saying is based on Elon tweeting, quote, combined views of the conversation with Donald Trump and subsequent discussion by other accounts now around 1 billion. | ||
| This is a very deceptive stat, and it's being used by Alex to pretend that a billion people watched this interview. | ||
| The tweet that Elon is basing his statement on is from the company he owns, saying, quote, Between 7.47 p.m. and 10.47 p.m. Eastern, President Donald Trump's post received 73 million views. | ||
| During this same period, there were 4 million posts about Elon Musk and President Trump's conversation on X, generating a total of 998 million views. | ||
| To me, that sounds like people talking shit about your conversation got way, way more views than the conversation itself, but that's probably a bad way to market this in hindsight, especially when it was so fucking boring. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| But more importantly, Alex is just lying to inflate the statistics of this incredibly boring interview. | ||
| We watched it with him. | ||
| We know he just started yelling about horse semen halfway through it. | ||
| And he was so bored and just worried that Trump would defend the vaccine or say something inconvenient about Ukraine or something. | ||
| This is sad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| But then I wonder if all four million of those posters realize that they've just wasted, like, their lives. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Because that was a real waste of everybody. | ||
| Until it happened, it was only a potential waste. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| But you'd think for, like, in a vacuum, these are two of the most powerful, or like... | ||
| Not powerful. | ||
| I mean, like, individuals with agency. | ||
| You know, like, Biden is the president, and he's very powerful, but he's got all these, like, hurdles to, like, before he can actually press a button or whatever. | ||
| Elon Musk is ostensibly able to press any button he wants. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, and Trump has the ability to January 6th you at any time. | ||
| Those are very serious types of power. | ||
| And the two of them were sitting there talking. | ||
| It has a lot of potential. | ||
| They're just so boring. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| That's what it turns out. | ||
| I get why people followed Napoleon. | ||
| He's a bad guy, but man, at least he did something. | ||
| So with the content being as kind of blah as it was, really all you have to hang your hat on is a lot of people. | ||
| There's a lot of numbers here. | ||
| We pushed some numbers. | ||
| But a billion people. | ||
| Clicked on it and put today's show headline up because I wrote it just like 15 minutes ago. | ||
| We'll put it on screen. | ||
| Tuesday Live, Elon Musk Trump interview reaches over a billion people devastating MSM like a giant asteroid killing the dinosaurs. | ||
| Must watch Alex Jones show. | ||
| Now look, the corporate media is propped up but there's thousands of channels. | ||
| TV and radio and print, and so they're still able to all put out the same message at once and still have some effect. | ||
| But by themselves, they have no power. | ||
| CNN's biggest shows have a million viewers. | ||
| I can shoot a video in my backyard and do it all the time, and it gets, you know, 3 million views, 5 million, 10 million. | ||
| I mean, most of them, a million views. | ||
| You can literally just sit there, get out of bed, shoot a video, a million views, like, piece of cake. | ||
| I promote it, 10 million. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So... | |
| Again, and I'm just one person, so with a phone or a laptop or a desktop, I can reach more people and never get out of my pajamas. | ||
| Of course, I don't wear pajamas, but that's kind of a northern thing down here. | ||
| But I get it. | ||
| You're freezing up in Minnesota to wear pajamas. | ||
| In Texas, we sleep naked. | ||
| Just a little secret. | ||
| But at least I do. | ||
| I go commando in the bed. | ||
| But I'm digressing. | ||
| No. | ||
| This is a huge, huge deal. | ||
| That you sleep naked? | ||
| Oh boy. | ||
| He has nothing. | ||
| I mean, yeah. | ||
| Yep, yep, yep. | ||
| This is not a person who's like, we fucking changed the game last night with this interview. | ||
| Elon tweeted about how random people talking shit about the interview got a billion views. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| I'm so bored even by this, I'm going to talk about how I sleep nude. | ||
| Yeah, yep. | ||
| What's not being said is probably the greatest indictment of what is happening. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So what Alex is saying also just isn't true. | ||
| Very rarely does anything he posts on band.video get a million views, and a ton of the shows on there, other than his, they routinely get under 10,000, which is bad numbers for how popular he claims to be. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I guess he's talking probably about his Twitter feed, but that's not accurate about his numbers there either. | ||
| He has 2.7 million followers, but when he posts the feeds to his show, they end up getting like 100,000 views, and that's not even how many people watched it. | ||
| That's how many people saw the tweet with a link to the feed in it. | ||
| For instance, his show for Friday's link, his live show link on that, got 93,000 views on Twitter and only 753 likes. | ||
| The engagement there is not really high. | ||
| Alex is massively overstating his reach and popularity, and this is an issue that being back on Twitter has really exacerbated. | ||
| He's always lied about how many radio stations he's on and stuff like that, but the immediate feedback of social media and the ability to spam posts and interact with other popular accounts is really something that he's gotten lost in. | ||
| And it's just kind of sad to see. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it's a disease. | ||
| It is. | ||
| A lot of people, you know, anybody's really susceptible to it. | ||
| Yeah, and thinking that those numbers necessarily mean anything is basically how so many media entities have overcommitted to video. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| They've been to video. | ||
| Hooray! | ||
| Shit like that has really had bad consequences, and Alex is... | ||
| In the same kind of mindset, think these numbers mean anything. | ||
| Yeah, chasing numbers instead of making good stuff. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| It is a problem. | ||
| It does feel like that's a problem we've dealt with our entire lives. | ||
| So Alex is just like, you know, we got these big numbers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Who doesn't? | ||
| CNN. | ||
| He's just obsessed with how, like, few people are watching CNN. | ||
| Weird. | ||
| When I was on a Spaces with Elon, and I've been on some others as well, but we interviewed each other for over two hours. | ||
| It got 25 million live, and then the derivatives and versions of it, you couldn't even count it. | ||
| I mean, 100 million, very conservative number. | ||
| I mean, just on my channel, clips we put out reached like 30, 40 million conservatively. | ||
| I mean, very conservatively. | ||
| So I can't keep track of it. | ||
| It's everywhere. | ||
| It's still everywhere. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So imagine what that means, that CNN has thousands of employees. | ||
| It's well over 1,000 still, even though they're downsized. | ||
| And contractors. | ||
| I mean, just CNN in the U.S., I think International's even bigger. | ||
| Guys, look up how many employees CNN globally has. | ||
| And I know it's thousands. | ||
| So, big, huge buildings all over the world, thousands of employees, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of writers and reporters, and their top shows might hit a million. | ||
| Put that in context, Lou Dobbs would have 15 million viewers back in his heyday on CNN. | ||
| Of course, he ran CNN, too. | ||
| He wasn't just the top host. | ||
| So he knew what to do programming-wise. | ||
| He had debates, liberal and conservative, and libertarian. | ||
| But I digress. | ||
| What I'm saying here is, when you have weekend at Bernie's and you're kind of carrying a dead body around, people finally figure out it's a dead body. | ||
| Well, the corporate media has been dead for a long time. | ||
| So, what Alex is saying just isn't true. | ||
| In his later years, in like 2019, Dobbs would be the most popular business show on cable news for 40 months straight, averaging 287,000 viewers. | ||
| He was the centerpiece of Fox News' business content, and then he got fired in 2021 because he was named in that whole Smartmatic defamation lawsuit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Kind of fucked that one up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure! | |
| Sure, sure. | ||
| So Dobbs had a long history at CNN prior to this, and it's pretty difficult to figure out exactly how many viewers he had in the distant past, but from a number of sources I was able to find, it's generous to say that he would have, like, half a million viewers. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So I like saying 15 million is insane. | ||
| I mean, I understand all of this, but, like, we gotta step back. | ||
| News should not care if a lot, you know? | ||
| It should just be news. | ||
| It shouldn't be the top priority of news. | ||
| Yeah, everybody should just pretend that they don't, you know? | ||
| Like, the idea of being like, oh, well, we need to up our ratings is bad for news. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you can see this being kind of a thing that's been wrestled with over time. | ||
| Like, it's been since the 90s. | ||
| You can find articles about, like... | ||
| Well, people are pivoting towards destinations for their news, you know? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Internet is now allowing people to do this. | ||
| And so, like, when Alex says, like, the media is dead, it's like, well, everyone's said that the whole time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And we're, it's not, like, there's not four channels, but it's also not dead. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| It's like there's a middle... | ||
| What would I say? | ||
| We're in the transition period where we were alive for the tail end of the monoculture. | ||
| So success in our brains has been fucked up by the idea of like, you should get 50 million regular viewers like fucking Carson. | ||
| As opposed to where we live now where it's like, 250,000 is awesome! | ||
| That's great! | ||
| Live and be happy, you know? | ||
| Make your thing. | ||
| Don't chase anything. | ||
| We're not there. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| I don't want to be there. | ||
| That's too much. | ||
| Yeah, it's strange. | ||
| But Alex is pretending that things are still the same, kind of, and judging these people by those standards, but himself and everyone around his orbit by completely different standards. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's strange and self-serving, and I don't care for it. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| But the media still has a little bit of a danger to them. | ||
| And that is they can coordinate on a message. | ||
| Well, the corporate media has been dead for a long time. | ||
| Their last power is they can all get together and put out a few big lies a day. | ||
| Like, oh, actually Biden has a plan to get rid of taxes on tips. | ||
| No, he actually increased taxes on them and regulation and harassment. | ||
| Or Kamala's repeating that Trump loves everybody at the... | ||
| You know, rally in Virginia. | ||
| Charlottesville. | ||
| He never said that. | ||
| Or Trump hates all Mexicans. | ||
| They're still saying that. | ||
| Where's the clip? | ||
| Doesn't exist. | ||
| Nothing even close. | ||
| But they can still just all get together and say, he hates Mexicans. | ||
| People, well, I heard he hates Mexicans. | ||
| Really? | ||
| I mean, you should hate who told you that that's lying to you. | ||
| Or Alex Jones peed on graves and was mean to Sandy Hook people and made up all this stuff. | ||
| Never did anything they said. | ||
| The internet didn't believe it. | ||
| Huge story. | ||
| A few times I said, yeah, it could be fake. | ||
| I mean, who knows? | ||
| They lied to us so much. | ||
| Oh, a billion and a half dollars, rigged court cases. | ||
| And then in hindsight, I think it did happen. | ||
| And then they sued me once I said I thought it happened. | ||
| But again, ladies and gentlemen, the point is, is the corporate media is as dead as the dinosaurs. | ||
| So this comes off really weak and strangely defensive. | ||
| No one listening to this who's taking him at all seriously cares what Alex said about Sandy Hook. | ||
| He's just repeating this to convince himself that he did nothing wrong. | ||
| There's no point in this. | ||
| This is weird now. | ||
| Also, let's not forget that before the attempted assassination of Trump, Alex launched his new storyline that the system was trying to take him off the air because he was free from his bankruptcy now and he was too close to the truth on Sandy Hook. | ||
| The fact that he knew the real conspiracy was supposed to be why he was still their big target, but then someone shot at Trump, and the story promptly changed to the globalists wanted me off the air because I was warning that they were going to kill Trump. | ||
| If you pay attention to his show and imagine that reality has any continuity, this defensive-ass shit shouldn't be Alex's position on Sandy Hook. | ||
| This was his safe, damage-control position, which he very publicly abandoned until Trump's attempted assassination sucked up all the attention and gave him a better story to run with. | ||
| This is pathetic. | ||
| Here's my easiest argument, right? | ||
| If the media wanted to take you out, would it happen by now? | ||
| You know, like, or the globalists or whatever it is. | ||
| Got to assume. | ||
| I mean, at this point, I guess the only thing not taking you out is just a judge's... | ||
| Bored or lazy or just doesn't give a fuck, you know? | ||
| Like, that's really where we're at, right? | ||
| So if the globalists had any power, they could be like, hey, we'll write your brief for you. | ||
| It's not going to take us long. | ||
| No. | ||
| And then you just put it out on there and then things go from there. | ||
| Because he's too much, like, that would prove him right about everything. | ||
| So they can't do that. | ||
| They know that. | ||
| They're just too big to take out. | ||
| You can't want to take somebody out and then let somebody be, like, laissez-faire about when they do it. | ||
| We should all have villains. | ||
|

|
We're going to get him next time! | |
| So the media, like Alex says, has been dead for a while. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Like dinosaurs. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Not like millions of years, though. | ||
| Because that's like dinosaurs. | ||
| They've been dead millions of years. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Shorter time. | ||
| Well, naturally. | ||
| The dinosaur media didn't die 18 million years ago. | ||
| Or 66 million years ago, or whatever number they come up with. | ||
| Someone looked it up. | ||
| They died. | ||
| 10,000 according to the Bible. | ||
| I have to say, when Trump got elected in 2016, you could stick a fork in them. | ||
| So they've been dead about eight years. | ||
| But if people still think it's even media, when all it is is a PR operation, they just regurgitate BS all day, then it still has some power. | ||
| You know, I made this point to Joe a couple years ago on his show, and he's repeated it since he agreed with it. | ||
| I said, why do you keep obsessing on CNN? | ||
| Your average show has 20 million viewers, conservatively. | ||
| Your bigger show's 50 million. | ||
| Your biggest 100 million, like the ones I've done, when you had it all together. | ||
| Why are you even caring? | ||
| So rightly understood, Alex is saying that his career, pretending to have any meaning, has been dead since 2016, and he's just been a bizarre PR machine for Trump ever since. | ||
| That's a really good way of putting it. | ||
| When he asks Joe Rogan why he would care about CNN, what he's really doing is wrestling with the same question inside himself. | ||
| If everything Alex is saying were true, why would he spend the first 20 minutes of his show rambling about how popular he is and how his enemies have no viewers? | ||
| According to Alex, he's in an information war and his enemy has been dead for eight years. | ||
| If you believe him, he lost to a dead enemy in 2020. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I have no idea. | |
| It is crazy that your enemy has been dead for four years before they won? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But all because people thought they were alive or something. | ||
| That's fascinating. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Yeah, I just, I feel like, you know, the interview wasn't that good. | ||
| There are some conclusions that one can draw, and that should be one of them. | ||
| Yeah, and that's kind of what I was thinking as I was listening to this next clip. | ||
| And still the old politicians, especially the Republicans, they still put stock in what the media says, the corporate media. | ||
| You want to be attacked by CNN. | ||
| You want to be attacked by ABC News. | ||
| Again, I've been to three restaurants this week. | ||
| What? | ||
| All three times. | ||
| It doesn't usually happen like this, but with my youngest and my middle daughter. | ||
| And my sister. | ||
| And so I've been to three restaurants in the last seven days. | ||
| And you know what happened every time I was in a restaurant? | ||
| People walked over. | ||
| This was the weirdest part. | ||
| This happens all the time. | ||
| Usually they just get the check. | ||
| They just walk over all three times and handed me a $100 bill. | ||
| And I'm like, well, thank you. | ||
| No, that's not the response! | ||
| That is the wrong response! | ||
| Well, thank you. | ||
| Alex is so popular that three times he's been in restaurants this week and people have come over and given him a crisp $100 bill. | ||
| Oh my god, I can't think of anything that would make me, like, run away more or faster than somebody doing that. | ||
| I think there's something really interesting that's going on here, and that I think that Alex feels the need to escalate somehow these stories that he tells about how much people love him, because it was like, you know, people would pat him on the back instead of yelling at him for a while, but that's not satisfying. | ||
| Now people have to be like, I was wrong to hate you. | ||
| And they have to get his check. | ||
| And then now we've escalated to just giving him money on the street randomly. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| I did laugh out loud when I said that. | ||
| I thought, this is funny. | ||
| Who are these people in your brain, sir? | ||
| Where do they come from? | ||
| I have people coming up to me giving me $100 bills all the time because I'm validated. | ||
| I'm so good. | ||
| I am concerned that I... | ||
| If he doesn't face consequences for long enough, I think it's possible that he may gaslight us all into believing that we're in his lucid dream where whatever he says is true will wind up happening. | ||
| I don't even know how to describe somebody saying that people are coming up to them in three different restaurants giving him a crisp $100 bill. | ||
| I just don't understand. | ||
| Maybe you should let him talk a little bit more about the experience and see if it becomes more believable. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's more? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Rocky Erickson's brother did it in Kirby Lane. | ||
| Yesterday, or two days ago, I was in there at like 8 a.m. with my sister and my youngest daughter eating breakfast. | ||
| And he just comes over and says, hey, I love you, love the work you do. | ||
| He knows my parents. | ||
| That's Rocky Erickson's brother, a well-known musician. | ||
| Really nice guy. | ||
| He goes, you know, am I trying to dox him? | ||
| He doesn't mind anything. | ||
| He's a listener. | ||
| I know my parents have told me that, but the point is, you know, it's just one of the people who gave me $100. | ||
| And I don't look at that as like, oh, look, I've got $100. | ||
| Aren't I lucky? | ||
| The point is, they've tried to make me the biggest devil on earth. | ||
| So this billion-plus viewers and listeners of the X spaces with Trump and Musk last night, and the fact that I've been in a restaurant three times this week, the last seven days, and every time I'm giving a $100 bill, it's like magic. | ||
| It's like Lucky Charms or something. | ||
| It just shows that they've done everything they can to destroy me and demonize me and say I'm all these horrible things that I'm not. | ||
| And it hasn't worked. | ||
| It hasn't worked. | ||
| We get it. | ||
| People like you. | ||
| You dumb dork. | ||
| Sometimes when the pause is long enough. | ||
| I think maybe that there's some sort of involuntary bullshit reaction that all of us secretly have, where if it gets bad enough, if you spit out enough bullshit in a short enough period of time, your throat literally just clogs for a second. | ||
| It causes like a bile response or something. | ||
| You just have to wait like two or three seconds of silence before you can spit bullshit again. | ||
| Your throat resets. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The hard reset. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| People just like me so much! | ||
| They come up to me and get Rocky Erickson's brother. | ||
| Give me $100 at Kirby Lane. | ||
| I don't want to dox him. | ||
| I know he's a loser. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| That guy was a psychedelic rock guy, his brother from the 70s. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Also, Kirby Lane. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| I looked into it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I was like, okay, can I believe that Alex was there? | ||
| That's an interesting... | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| Can you... | ||
| What's the basis level of assumption that one can make about truth in his story? | ||
| And I convinced myself for sure he was there. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And here's the piece of information that led me to that. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| They have a happy hour from 7 to 10 a.m. | ||
| So I'm pretty sure he was there. | ||
| Morning-ass happy hour. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Well, there we go. | ||
| So Alex doesn't only get love and $100 bills at cafes. | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| Also airports. | ||
| I was out in San Francisco on business and covering Bohemian Grove a month ago, as you know, when Trump got shot. | ||
| And I mean, I'm in the middle of wine country and people on a farm renting a house and people are running out of the bushes that live three doors down that saw me on air and could tell the topography and knew I was there. | ||
| You know, I mean, I go at a gas station. | ||
| A grocery store. | ||
| Almost everybody's a listener. | ||
| San Francisco Airport. | ||
| Nothing but love except one guy got in my face. | ||
| And then literally three people right there getting on the plane go, we love you, we think you're great. | ||
| And the guy literally started crying that was calling me a scumbag. | ||
| Because he was like, what? | ||
| Because he's like, you gotta be ashamed of yourself. | ||
| You piece of crap. | ||
| Hate your family. | ||
| You know, all this other stuff. | ||
| You're just disgusting. | ||
| All the things you've done. | ||
| What you did to those children. | ||
| And I'm just like, I love you. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| That's what I do now. | ||
| I've trained myself. | ||
| Don't say anything mean back. | ||
| He goes, why aren't you? | ||
| Why aren't you? | ||
| I said, he goes, why do you love me? | ||
| All of a sudden, people go, we love you. | ||
| And they start hugging me. | ||
| Literally. | ||
| All right. | ||
| We think you're amazing and all this stuff. | ||
| And the guy starts tearing up because he came over to make me feel bad. | ||
| And I said, I love you. | ||
| He goes, why? | ||
| Why? | ||
| And I said, I love the attacks because it means I'm fighting evil. | ||
| All of a sudden, we love you. | ||
| We think you're amazing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
| What really got him was the black lady hugging me. | ||
| Yeah, so that's... | ||
| We've heard a bit of this experience in the past, but this is incessant. | ||
| He's just going on and on about everyone loves him. | ||
| Because I think the interview was good. | ||
| I think that he has a lot to say about the interview. | ||
| I like, and it hadn't occurred to me to think this until now. | ||
| I'm grateful that Frank Capra is dead, because there's no way that someone can commission him to rewrite Alex Jones' story into something like this. | ||
| There's just no possibility of that happening, so we don't have to worry about that. | ||
| That's nice. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We don't have to worry about watching Miracle on 35th Street in Austin, Texas, where Alex is also Santa Claus and Jesus and the little girl at the same fucking time. | ||
| I bet someone at the airport said, fuck you, and then maybe someone patted him on the back and was like, hey, don't worry about it. | ||
| Or something like that. | ||
| In the same way that I believe he was at... | ||
| The cafe that has a happy hour at 7 in the morning. | ||
| That's what it is. | ||
| There was an interaction at the airport, but I do not trust any version that is coming out of Alex. | ||
| This version of it is ridiculous. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| But fun, and clearly indicative of a mindset that he's in. | ||
| Not a good interview, I think. | ||
| I think what we're talking about is that this was not a good interview last night. | ||
| Elon and Trump maybe disappointed a little bit. | ||
| Between the two theoretically most powerful people, perhaps on this planet, or ever to exist on this planet. | ||
| So, yeah, I think that the disappointment about that interview leads Alex to talk about how everyone loves him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And then start reflecting on his dog that died. | ||
| Good call. | ||
| What? | ||
| I don't have much news to cover, but just morale-wise, I want people to understand something. | ||
| It's not fun fighting these people. | ||
| And I got the devil coming after me in other ways. | ||
| That's how the devil comes after you. | ||
| And, you know, I'm going through major stuff that I don't even spend time on air about. | ||
| But I want everybody to realize that... | ||
| I'm getting 99.9% love. | ||
| I go munch without anybody getting in my face, anybody attacking me. | ||
| And when Trump first got elected, if I was walking the dog, the dog died. | ||
| About a year after Trump got elected, God, people said, you have a dog. | ||
| Well, I got so depressed when my 12-year-old captain, sweetheart, French Bulldog, he was so athletic, he'd jump like three feet in the air and grab frisbees, and he would run and jump over walls. | ||
| He broke his neck. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| Because my parents, their house had this big ball hanging down. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| They all killed dogs. | ||
| My sister, she's a lot younger than me. | ||
| She didn't live with them, but she hung it there or whatever. | ||
| The point was, some kind of exercise ball hanging out of a tree. | ||
| He would love to hit it like it was a bulldog. | ||
| Boom, hit it, hit it, hit it. | ||
| And then he got on the table once at Easter. | ||
| My parents were over at my house, and my mom brought an Easter cake. | ||
| She makes this great coconut cake. | ||
| Calls it Easter cake. | ||
| And it's half eaten and we're watching the Ten Commandments, a ritual we do almost every year. | ||
| Charlton Heston, God love him. | ||
| What a great guy. | ||
| And he's up on top of the table eating it. | ||
| And I yelled at him, Captain! | ||
| And he jumped off and broke his neck. | ||
| And man, I still have, I have nightmares about yelling at him. | ||
| It's not my fault, but God, he jumped off that table and broke his neck fully. | ||
| When they x-rayed him, they said his neck's been broken a bunch for a while. | ||
| A little tough dog, man. | ||
| Because most of them aren't that athletic. | ||
| This one, he was really like a big one. | ||
| See, now I'm just, that's what I want to do. | ||
| I just want to hang out with French Bulldogs and go fishing. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, man, I think you do. | ||
| That physically hurts me. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| I don't know if I could, like... | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| It's great, but you know what? | ||
| Like, obviously, that's, you know, a human moment. | ||
| That breaks my heart. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That breaks my heart. | ||
| I think the blame in yourself when you yell at an animal. | ||
| I don't know if I would. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That's something to remind you that Alex is a human. | ||
| I don't think my wife would. | ||
| I don't know if she would be able to live. | ||
| Like, that's horrific. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| That's so horrifying. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Got really drunk and yelled at Roger Stone. | ||
| Oh my god, it does. | ||
| Because he said it's an Easter cake, and that was right around Easter of 2017. | ||
| Jesus fucking Christ. | ||
| Yep, so, you know, he probably was coming off. | ||
| His dog jumping off the table and breaking its neck. | ||
| If there was a pound or a breeder, or anybody, like... | ||
| Put a picture of Alex up and do not to this man. | ||
| Period. | ||
| No pets. | ||
| No adoption. | ||
| No friends. | ||
| No nothing. | ||
| You are going to get hurt if you are a four-legged and you're near Alex. | ||
| Or the government's going to try and take you like his cat. | ||
| Possible. | ||
| So there's a reason that I played all of this shit where he's just constantly talking about how much everyone loves him. | ||
| Part of it is because there's clearly a... | ||
| Lack of interest in talking about Trump and Elon all that much. | ||
| Outside of numbers. | ||
| And then the second is that Alex says something at the beginning of this clip that I think is really illuminating and helps understand the very disgusting stuff he says towards the end of the clip. | ||
| Things are only going to get worse if we don't get close to God. | ||
| And so we can't give up. | ||
| And look, so much good is happening. | ||
| And I'm telling myself that right now. | ||
| Remember, so much of the show, folks, is inner dialogue. | ||
| I'm being honest about that. | ||
| And I just talk about whatever I'm thinking. | ||
| That's why I start going off on something about the French Bulldog. | ||
| Because that's just where we are. | ||
| But the reason I got down yesterday is I look at all this stuff, and half the time I can't even cover it. | ||
| Because I've already watched the clips, I've already researched it, and it's like, I'm looking at Joe Biden, I'm looking at Yetting Yahoo, I'm looking at this... | ||
| These judge videos where you said migrants rape people. | ||
| That's the worst thing you can do. | ||
| 20 months in jail. | ||
| That's the quote. | ||
| I have the video. | ||
| I mean, I got all the statistics. | ||
| They commit over 70% of the rapes in every European country. | ||
| They're absolute maniacs. | ||
| They come from countries where women all wear beekeeper suits. | ||
| And the only woman they've ever seen is their mama or their sister, who's probably their sister or their... | ||
| I'm not trying to be mean. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| I mean, the inbreeding is insane in those areas of Central Asia. | ||
| And then they ship in literal inbred cavemen. | ||
| And all they've seen online is hardcore porn. | ||
| And they've done surveys of the boat people coming in from Somalia and coming in from Afghanistan and Pakistan. | ||
| And they literally say, what are you coming for? | ||
| We're coming for the whores. | ||
| We're coming for the white women. | ||
| So imagine, they never even get to see women. | ||
| Women wear hoods, but they're watching porn. | ||
| And Germany's putting ads out that are seen, saying, come to Germany. | ||
| The women want to have sex with you. | ||
| I've played these TV shows. | ||
| They have them on children's TV for targeting 8- and 9-year-olds. | ||
| I've played the clip a lot. | ||
| Guys, I haven't played in like three years. | ||
| It's still on YouTube. | ||
| Just type in, German TV tells German teens to have sex with migrants. | ||
| And it says, this is Jenny. | ||
| She's 12, and she's having sex with a 22-year-old from Pakistan. | ||
| And then they say in German, you can come here and have sex with our... | ||
| So the German left is advertising, if you... | ||
| Come to Germany or Sweden. | ||
| You can have sex. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So I think that clip really says a lot. | ||
| And I find it difficult to even, like, sit through some. | ||
| I think you had a gasp in the middle of it that might not have been audible. | ||
| I'm twitching. | ||
| But it's really helpful in terms of understanding Alex's content. | ||
| It's an internal monologue, and if you take it seriously as news, all you're doing is accepting Alex's twisted imagination as something that dictates reality. | ||
| The show is a conduit for Alex's feelings and him engaging in self-soothing techniques at the expense of the audience and the public as a whole. | ||
| He feels down and like no one appreciates him, so he spends half an hour ranting about how everyone loves him and gives him $100 bills at fucking cafes. | ||
| He hates people unlike himself, so he descends into grotesque coverage of nonsensical memes he's skimmed in order to demonize entire populations while pretending that he's researched any of this in order to justify that bigotry that he has and self-soothe, make himself, I'm not the bad guy. | ||
| This story about a judge giving someone 20 months in jail comes from a little clip that Alex saw online that's a bit of a fraud. | ||
| The clip shows a judge saying that he was being sentenced, and this guy said that the reason he was being sentenced was he didn't want to give his money going to, quote, immigrants who rape our kids and get priority. | ||
| However, the clip selectively removes the context that he didn't get in trouble for expressing that opinion. | ||
| This man, Jordan Parler, pled guilty, and the charge was the result of him inciting racial hatred, posting, quote, This context is really important because... | ||
| There's a difference between getting in legal trouble for expressing a viewpoint that's noxious but is based on where you want your tax money directed and getting in legal trouble for expressing explicitly public planning for racist violence. | ||
| Alex is conflating these two because he wants to excuse and justify racist violence and make you think, oh, it's this guy. | ||
| He just said that he doesn't like his tax money going to help migrants. | ||
| No, he was planning and explicitly the time. | ||
| It's hard to nail down exactly what Alex is talking about with Germany, but I think it's him lying about a sex education website that Germany published that was supposed to be for migrants. | ||
| I guess the point of it was to help with the cultural differences in terms of sex issues, but most people thought that the approach was a bit condescending and less helpful than it was intended to be. | ||
| Whatever it was, it's not what Alex is saying. | ||
| All of this is just rooted in classic racist tropes of they're coming for our women. | ||
| We've seen this play out over and over again throughout history, and if we were in a different generation, we would be hearing Alex argue and fix. | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Pathetically transparent. | ||
| I mean, we're honestly not far enough away from Alex arguing that we should get the Teutons together on a crusade to fucking Jerusalem. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| No, we were talking. | ||
| He talks about the Visigoths later. | ||
| We were talking before the show. | ||
| We were talking about some of the differences between us and how when I'm emotionally overwhelmed, I have a far harder time compartmentalizing it and leaving it where it needs to be. | ||
| And so during that clip, I was doing... | ||
| I was, like, staying in the pocket. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Like, I was in there. | ||
| I could feel it. | ||
| I was in the zone, because in all honesty, the amount and volume of yell in my heart, it's a Sunday, man. | ||
| It's a Sunday. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| And your entire building shouldn't be knocking on your door. | ||
| They shouldn't have to deal with that. | ||
| But I understand that, and sometimes there are clips that are of this ilk that are kind of like, oh, Alex is just literally expressing these... | ||
| Deeply fucking racist awful views. | ||
| And I don't want to necessarily bring that to the show. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Because we all know this is the kind of shit that he talks about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| We don't need to wallow in it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But one of the reasons that I think that it made the cut this time, and I subjected you to that boiling that you were experiencing. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| You know, sometimes it's good that this isn't a video podcast. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's because the beginning of the clip is him literally expressing, this show is my inner monologue. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's not some researched fucking thing that he's just ranting. | ||
| I was like, in my head, I'm just going like, this is the trick. | ||
| This is the ultimate trick. | ||
| This is the power that he has. | ||
| It overloads you, and you're just unable to, like, sidestep it. | ||
| Like, this is what he does that is so destructive and impossible to fight against. | ||
| It's like, unless you're supremely capable of, like, focus. | ||
| Just yells. | ||
| Just yells. | ||
| Just yells in my brain. | ||
| Or are people taking a swing at him? | ||
| Like, it's understandable when you're... | ||
| Confronted with a barrage like that, it makes sense that you're just like, fuck you. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| And that's the reaction that... | ||
| It's counterproductive, but understandable. | ||
| Yeah, no, I'm immediately thinking of Clue. | ||
| Flames? | ||
| Flames? | ||
| On the side of my face. | ||
| You know, like, that's... | ||
| I can't even finish a sentence or thought about it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So there is a fair amount of stuff that I think will descend into a little disgusting, a little bit racist. | ||
| That'll happen. | ||
| Throughout what we have left. | ||
| Great. | ||
| But I think that there is a point. | ||
| Yeah, here it is. | ||
| Welsh Refugee Council. | ||
| Go back and read that. | ||
| I had never seen this. | ||
| 12-year-old girl meant to entice migrants to come to Wales. | ||
| The refugee council is a far-left group. | ||
| I'd never seen this. | ||
| Okay, get me this. | ||
| Print this off. | ||
| See? | ||
| No, no. | ||
| It's in Germany. | ||
| And it shows this hot, blonde, famous singer. | ||
| I forget her name. | ||
| She's like, when you come to Germany, you get the women like me. | ||
| You get the boom-boom me. | ||
| And then they cut... | ||
| Is that a German accent? | ||
| And it's like, this is whatever her name is. | ||
| She's 12, and here's her boyfriend. | ||
| His name's Habib. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's 22. They have sex. | |
| And I told the crew to find it. | ||
| They found one out of England? | ||
| Oh, I told you little girl. | ||
| You come from Pakistan. | ||
| Be with me, please. | ||
| Is that English? | ||
| God almighty, what the hell? | ||
| And then you talk about it, 20 months in prison! | ||
| I'm wearing a wig! | ||
| So you might notice here that Alex doesn't know what the video is that they're playing on the B-roll, and it's not what he asked for. | ||
| They didn't find this German video about Boom Boom, but they did find a very low-budget video apparently put together by this group, the Wales Refugee Council. | ||
| I don't know how else to put this, but it's fucked up that Alex and his ilk respond to this video the way they do. | ||
| It's two young girls speaking to the camera delivering lines about how it can be hard to be a refugee and that Wales is welcoming and offers resources to help people become part of the community. | ||
| Many refugees are children or parents of children, and the experience of your child entering a new school is difficult, even if you aren't a refugee. | ||
| This kind of messaging is very helpful in a real way to families, but through Alex's eyes, it's somehow sexual. | ||
| These children aren't classmates that might befriend your kid. | ||
| They're objects that are being offered to these non-white immigrants as an incentive for them to come here. | ||
| I can't really begin to lay out how deeply fucked up this is for Alex, like how he sees this or discusses it. | ||
| But it's right in line with that inner monologue that he's spewing out on this episode. | ||
| It's fucked up. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Was it the Tipper Gore? | ||
| I can't remember what specific reference it was during the 90s. | ||
| But there is that like, see, look at these sex objects. | ||
| And you're like, no, no, no. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| Nobody else thought that. | ||
| Nobody else thought that. | ||
| You are the one who is introducing that incredibly fucked up thought into my brain, and I don't like it. | ||
| Yeah, it's very strange to see this video responded to that way. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And that's... | ||
| That's not cool. | ||
| I think it speaks volumes about... | ||
| Don't do that. | ||
| ...Alex's inner monologue. | ||
| Never even occurred to me. | ||
| So, let's hear a little bit about the interview. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Because Trump and Elon did do that interview. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They did talk. | |
| You know, I was here live last night. | ||
| Millions tuned in. | ||
| Just on X. And tons of folks other places. | ||
| And it really made me love Elon Musk and Donald Trump more. | ||
| It was a really great discussion. | ||
| Except for the part where you didn't. | ||
| For people that don't know audio. | ||
| This isn't what I want. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Quote. | |
| I don't have a degree in it, but I've been around it for 30 plus years, so I know all about it. | ||
| Do you? | ||
| When you have a system like X, they're trying to fix it. | ||
| It has the S's. | ||
| The S's become long lisp and the pops become popping. | ||
| And you've got to have the right microphone and systems or you get that. | ||
| And so because Trump had long S's, which was just a form of reverb, now it's all about he's slurring his words. | ||
| No, after a long day, he did two hours and did a fabulous job. | ||
| But there's your headline everywhere. | ||
| Thousands of fake news headlines. | ||
| Trump slurs through interview. | ||
| Increasingly bizarre claims. | ||
| Musk. | ||
| Baga mania. | ||
| Well, there aren't a billion people tuned in to all of the corporate media combined. | ||
| You have to pay to put it in airports, pay to put it in hotels, pay to hang on your hotel. | ||
| Doorknob. | ||
| So this is very sad. | ||
| I understand that there were some headlines and tweets about Trump slurring a bit during the interview, but is this really the place where Alex needs to be defensive? | ||
| Can you just ignore this one? | ||
| This seems sad. | ||
| He talked over a ton of the interview and was clearly bored by it, so maybe he should just move on instead of playing defense. | ||
| Incidentally, while we're on the subject of needing to pay for exposure and how CNN could never get a billion views without paying for it, this might be a good time to remind Alex that the only reason this interview was happening is because Elon Musk literally bought 20%. | ||
| Yeah, nobody invited him to the pickup game. | ||
| So he bought the court and then forced everybody to play with him, and then everybody left, so he sued them. | ||
| And now his friends are talking about how no one plays ball like him. | ||
| Yeah, it's brutal. | ||
| You know, here's the thought. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| This is part of why stuff sucks, and it's nobody's actual fault, right? | ||
| So if Elon had the infrastructure in place, the amount of employees necessary, the equipment, all of that stuff, for the interviewer to have gone off without a hitch, he's not going to get headlines of like, surprise, business does well, you know? | ||
| What's going to happen is he's going to hire a consultant who's going to be like, hey, you know what you could have done? | ||
| You could have fired like half of those people. | ||
| And maybe done the same job, you know? | ||
| So going poorly might have saved people's jobs. | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| Like, it is so strange that you don't see competence ever celebrated quite. | ||
| The same way that people celebrate being able to just barely hang on by your fingernails. | ||
| You take competence for granted a lot of the time because it's just kind of the expectation. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| You should probably be able to do the job you're paid to do is like a baseline. | ||
| But even if they had gone off without a hitch and everything had gone fine, I still don't think it would have been interesting. | ||
| Oh, no, no, no. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| And so I don't think there's a possibility to deliver the thing that they're hoping to deliver. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I was just talking about like... | ||
| If they didn't have to wait a half hour, you know what I'm saying? | ||
| That's not a headline. | ||
| But it probably, honestly... | ||
| Kind of should. | ||
| It would be, maybe. | ||
| Honestly, it being delayed and there being the problem probably made it more interesting. | ||
| The most interesting part of it is that it took a long time to start and it should have been... | ||
| Added intrigue and a pretend attack and all this shit. | ||
| Oh well. | ||
| So Alex talks a little bit about this dynamic where CNN has to pay people to play it at... | ||
| Airports and stuff. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| If something's free, it's gotta suck. | ||
| There aren't a billion people tuned in to all of the corporate media. | ||
| That is an indictment of us. | ||
| You have to pay to put it in airports, pay to put it in hotels, pay to hang on your hotel doorknob. | ||
| At gas station pumps, they got TVs blaring this crap at you. | ||
| And it's just that. | ||
| It's crap. | ||
| If somebody's trying to force you to take something or have something and making you do it, it must not be that good, right? | ||
| I mean, if a restaurant was consistently just giving away free food, it must not be that good. | ||
| Maybe when they first opened, give away a little entree or maybe an appetizer. | ||
| But if it's always free, what's going on in there? | ||
| Must be money laundering or something. | ||
| What I'm trying to get at here is I want to go through a bunch of these clips. | ||
| I want to go through the news, and I need to because I did a lot of research for this. | ||
| Sure did. | ||
| So this makes no sense. | ||
| The only reason Alex even has a career is because he offered his show to radio stations free to air. | ||
| If he'd ever tried to negotiate a deal that wasn't you-can-have-it-at-no-expense-at-all, almost no stations would have ever aired him in the first place. | ||
| He wouldn't have been able to make a name for himself. | ||
| He never would have had his foot in the door. | ||
| I disagree with his point that if something is free, it must not be good, but it's a damning position for him to take about himself. | ||
| Also, if he's saying that something being free spread out widely must be money laundering, he might be saying more about himself than CNN. | ||
| This might be that internal monologue going on. | ||
| I mean, I will say this. | ||
| As a stand-up, I think I've performed in many a front, and their stuff was not cheaper. | ||
| Generally, it was almost like a little bit too expensive for what it was. | ||
| You're like, there's nobody in this restaurant. | ||
| You don't want to rotate stock. | ||
| How is it possible this costs $25? | ||
| It's just an inconvenience if you have to replace things. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| We're not a business. | ||
| It can go both directions. | ||
| But yeah, Alex seems to be... | ||
| Pointing the finger at himself. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anyway, we get back to the story about the UK and the judge that he was talking about. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And now, I would call this a complete misreporting of the story. | ||
| I've got the quote here. | ||
| UK's free speech crackdown, 20 months in prison for social media posts. | ||
| The judge says, quote, you went on to say that you did not want your money going to immigrants who, quote, rape our kids and get priority, end quote. | ||
| The offense is so serious that an immediate custodial sentence is unavoidable. | ||
| The sentence that I pass has been reduced by one-third to reflect your guilty plea. | ||
| The sentence is 20 months in prison. | ||
| 20 months in prison for saying the illegal aliens are raping people. | ||
| Headlines. | ||
| France migration chaos. | ||
| 77% of rape cases on Paris streets committed by foreigners. | ||
| Official government numbers. | ||
| I got a whole stack of these. | ||
| Sweden, England. | ||
| So for saying the truth, by the way, he has a right to say Martians are raping people. | ||
| This guy under the Magna Carta and under the laws in the UK that they completely ignore. | ||
| The Magna Carta. | ||
| That it could motivate somebody to be angry or violent. | ||
| That's hate speech. | ||
| So it's the definition they create. | ||
| So you got free speech under the law, except if we say it can hurt somebody. | ||
| Oh, you can't tell anybody that these Muslim men are literally in surveys, 90% saying, "I'm coming for the white women." Okay, so Alex's coverage here is based on a false premise because he's just reporting on a clip he saw out of context on Twitter. | ||
| He's pretending that the judge sentenced this man to 20 months in jail for saying that migrants have raped UK citizens, but that's not true. | ||
| He was sentenced because he directly incited violence on a specific location at a specific time because there were migrants at that place. | ||
| Alex knows damn well that if he presents the actual details in this case, the whole game falls apart. | ||
| So it's kind of in his best interest to keep things in his coverage. | ||
| Safely in the meme surface level and then get mad about the false premise that you've created to see this story through. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's fucking garbage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That 77% number from Paris is interesting and possibly misleading. | ||
| This was about numbers from Paris in 2023. | ||
| 28 out of the 36 people who were arrested for rapes that occurred in public spaces were of foreign nationality. | ||
| It's not specified what foreign nationality, but the most important part is that less than a third of reported cases were solved. | ||
| This is to say that 28 out of the 36 known offenders were of foreign nationality, but we don't know if that trend extends to the other two-thirds of the cases that the police haven't solved. | ||
| We have no idea about that information. | ||
| This isn't good, and there should be more being done to keep women safe and public from sexual assaults, obviously, but using a statistic like this, Fucking hell. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Crazy. | ||
| It's a real misuse of statistic for the sake of the purpose that Alex wants to use. | ||
| It's not a thing that you learn from. | ||
| It's a thing that you use to manipulate people into harm. | ||
| It's a thing that you find to use as a weapon. | ||
| It's not something that you are like, oh, well, now that we have this information, we can do something to do. | ||
| You're just using it to say, go harm people. | ||
| And you don't care if it's somebody who's committed any crime. | ||
| No. | ||
| You don't care. | ||
| So Alex spends a bit of time complaining about the Visigoths. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| And the Moors. | ||
| The Moors? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How dare he? | ||
| It turns out he's just talking about a movie. | ||
| That would make more sense. | ||
| Did he watch Othello recently? | ||
| El Cid. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ah. | |
| Yeah, the Spanish were known as the Visigoths. | ||
| They were blonde-haired, blue-eyed. | ||
| And they aren't anymore. | ||
| But if you see the nobility in Spain, they are. | ||
| But that's the few families that could run to the north and hide. | ||
| And then they ran a reconcation that took 400 to 500 years to drive the Muslims back into North Africa. | ||
| So, if you want to get a nice historical snapshot of it, watch the Charlton Heston movie El Cid. | ||
| Captured Christian women were much prized throughout the Muslim world, and their traffic was highly profitable. | ||
| That's mainline Encyclopedia Britannica. | ||
| And so, these guys have the same customs, the same operations, the same plans. | ||
| And if you say it in the UK, your ass gets locked up for 20 months in prison. | ||
| But if you kill... | ||
| White kids with a machete, you get six months. | ||
| Those are real cases. | ||
| You hack a 10-year-old boy up with a machete because he's white, you get six months in jail. | ||
| Job well done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Job well done. | |
| All right, I got a ton of news, but I'm just so sick of all this crap, and I'm not bowing down to any of it. | ||
| I'm done. | ||
| And I want to just say something right now before I hit all the no's. | ||
| You know, I am a dramatic person when things are dramatic. | ||
| I'm only dramatic when something is dramatic. | ||
| I act dramatic because I feel dramatic about it. | ||
| But at a certain point, I'm just going to say this right now. | ||
| We're reaching more people than ever. | ||
| Thank you for spreading the word. | ||
| But we're under major attack. | ||
| I'm not going to spend an hour explaining it to you. | ||
| We've done nothing but deliberate success. | ||
| And I'm asking you humbly to keep us in the fight and to make the decision now. | ||
| Now. | ||
| To go to drjonesnaturals.com and get great supplements. | ||
| Yeah, pretty disgusting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's dense. | |
| It's dense. | ||
| The path of that clip is really, really pretty gross. | ||
| I knew where it was going to end. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| I knew where it was going to end. | ||
| As soon as there was that pause, and I got a lot of news, you knew that a fucking ad was coming. | ||
| Of course. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep, yep. | |
| Oh, man. | ||
| This is dense with hate. | ||
| This is dense with hatred. | ||
| So, referencing a movie to make something relatable is something a cool teacher might do from time to time. | ||
| him so I kind of understand why Alex thinks like makes him look hip but you get to a certain point where you have to realize that most of what he thinks is history comes from movies not research or study or any of this bullshit that he tries to pretend also Alex mentions a machete murder in there and I think what he's talking about is something that happened last November but made its way through the court this summer to 12 year old boys were arrested for killing a 19 year old man with machetes in Wolverhampton and I know I probably mispronounced that and I | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's impossible. | |
| All of you... | ||
| Change your spelling or go fuck yourselves. | ||
| I refuse to acknowledge any of your bullshit. | ||
| Captain of wolves. | ||
| No, it's got eight more syllables in it than the ones we wrote down. | ||
| No, that's on you. | ||
| So because the two 12-year-olds are 12 years old, we don't know anything about who they are or identifying information, but we do know that the victim in that case was a migrant who recently come to the UK from Antigua. | ||
| So, like, I think that possibly some of this is what Alex is talking about, but because he never gets any details... | ||
| It's really hard to know what story he's talking about. | ||
| It's actually probably the case that he's talking about a different story, where an 18 and a 17-year-old guy were arrested for attacking a 14-year-old with a machete. | ||
| They were both charged with manslaughter, and one got a greater sentence while the other one was only sentenced to two years. | ||
| This guy who was sentenced to two years is named Lawson Natty, and the reason that he was given less time is spelled out really clearly in the court filing if you go look for it. | ||
| Quote, Okay, so there were also other people there who a jury was like, you weren't involved. | ||
| Yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And the reason that this guy got charged is because he had given the guy the machete. | ||
| He was an accessory. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Before this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So Natty lived in the UK for a while, but was from Belgium. | ||
| This whole thing really comes down to a rap beef at the bottom of it. | ||
| The victim was part of a crew that made a diss track about Natty and his group, which went back and forth over time and then it escalated to violence. | ||
| The perpetrators were black youths and the victim was a white youth, so the story more or less writes itself for Alex, but it has no connection to reality. | ||
| Natty was up for early release at six months, primarily because he showed great remorse, wasn't directly involved in the manslaughter, was 17 at the time of attack, and in theory they must have seen some potential for rehabilitation in his case. | ||
| You can see how Alex has completely rewritten details of the stories that could be used to stir up racist feelings that he wants the audience to hold. | ||
| He riles that up, and the payoff to the whole thing is him doing an ad so they can pay to keep him in the fight, screaming racist nonsense that's just his inner monologue. | ||
| This is just a dude struggling in his own head. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Fucked up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yep. | ||
| The going to an ad part. | ||
| Boy. | ||
| It shows you the craft. | ||
| And it's like, it's just so, so interesting because it is so bare. | ||
| You know, it is so stark, that idea of like, I am going to emotionally overwhelm you to the point where you feel you have to. | ||
| To take action. | ||
| Gotta do something. | ||
| And then I'm going to provide you with said action, and that action is give me $100 bills in a restaurant. | ||
| These folks hatchet kill 10-year-olds because they're white. | ||
| You gotta do something. | ||
| You gotta give me money. | ||
| Gotta go to Dr. Jones Naturals. | ||
| Listen, you can't go do anything about that or do a thing or do anything like that. | ||
| But if you do, I'm gonna pretend it's a false flag. | ||
| Absolutely, it's not you. | ||
| What you should be doing is giving me money because I will then yell at you more about things that you can't do about. | ||
| So you will give me more money at the end. | ||
| Fuel this inner monologue. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| It is just so... | ||
| It makes me think of the... | ||
| During the trial, one of the things I thought was really effective was when they'd play clips of Alex saying these horrible things about the families and shit, and then do an ad. | ||
| And then the ad, yeah. | ||
| The ability that he has of, like, you know that he knew he was going to go to an ad in the middle of saying this dumb shit. | ||
| Like, he knew what... | ||
| He knew that this is the path that you go down. | ||
| There's so much intent there, and it's just, I don't know. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it is so much like he rails about free speech and then charges people for it. | ||
| It's expensive. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So, he's not going to give up, though. | ||
| No. | ||
| Ever. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well... | |
| God damn it, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Give up! | |
| There might be one circumcision. | ||
| Quit! | ||
| If he gives up, though, it's your fault. | ||
| Okay, good! | ||
| It will be! | ||
| Get a book. | ||
| Get a film. | ||
| I need your support. | ||
| We're in a war. | ||
| I won't back down. | ||
| I won't sell out. | ||
| It's impossible. | ||
| It isn't in my DNA. | ||
| Not even a discussion of it. | ||
| But I could give up like a horse that didn't get given water or food. | ||
| And I'm not bitching. | ||
| I'm saying I'm asking for aid. | ||
| I want to thank those that have given us aid in this war, but I'm asking all of you that sit there. | ||
| I mean, I had last night two and a half million conservatively new people on the show, and I got up this morning and checked the numbers, and they're like, yeah, boss, it wasn't a good day. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So maybe almost as if those might have been bots or something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Huh. | ||
| That is strange. | ||
| But also, your show sucks. | ||
| And if anyone was watching it to hear analysis of Trump and Elon, and they saw you yelling about horse semen, why the fuck would they give you money? | ||
| Like, why would this translate into a sale if you're watching that stream in particular? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It seems like the path to entry is very, very difficult. | ||
| Yeah, and yet at the same time, why would you want analysis of Elon and Trump? | ||
| You wouldn't. | ||
| You wouldn't. | ||
| You'd want somebody yelling about a horse. | ||
| You'd want somebody yelling about a horse human. | ||
| Right, which is why he still exists. | ||
| Yeah, what a weird world. | ||
| So the other thing, I just love this dynamic of like, I will never give up, but when I do, it's your fucking fault because you didn't give me anything. | ||
| I wouldn't give up if I had to. | ||
| Like, that is the idea, you know? | ||
| Like, hey, I will stand against tyranny as long as it's popular, but the moment it's not, I give up. | ||
| He's kind of like a racist Tinkerbell. | ||
| He is. | ||
| As long as everybody claps their hands. | ||
| I'll die if you don't believe in me enough. | ||
| Yep, yep. | ||
| Fuck off. | ||
| Oh my God. | ||
| So anyway, he's very serious. | ||
| And that's why a fair amount of the show is spent playing memes. | ||
| Yeah, great. | ||
| If you're a radio listener, you can't see this. | ||
| It's really entertaining. | ||
| Go to RealAlexJonesOnX. | ||
| We're going to post it on the front page of InfoWars. | ||
| But it's that Indiana Jones scene. | ||
| Raiders of the Lost Ark when he first goes into that temple and tries to replace the Golden Island with the sand. | ||
| Well, instead, it's Pelosi trying to replace Joe Biden. | ||
| Perhaps you should have been to speak. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Come on. | |
| So, my concern was... | ||
| What do you hope to achieve with this? | ||
| I don't know what the goal is. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| A meme about Pelosi replacing Biden with Harris. | ||
| What? | ||
| What's the payoff? | ||
| Shouldn't they be... | ||
| I thought they were supposed to be fun. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I thought they were. | ||
| Aren't they supposed to... | ||
| The memes that they share, aren't they supposed to be like, this is a joke that we have. | ||
| And now it doesn't even feel like they laugh or anything. | ||
| They just go, a thing. | ||
| Yeah, I think that's embodied by like... | ||
| Hulk Hogan being at the RNC and people being like, look at them, they're having fun. | ||
| That's not fun. | ||
| They weren't having fun. | ||
| No, that's Hulk Hogan tearing off his shirt in a room full of people who know he's a racist and like him for it. | ||
| Yeah, it's all sad. | ||
| It's all sad, and I think they know it. | ||
| Weird. | ||
| I think, Alex, the whole career trajectory arc of pretending to talk about books and all of this really serious, deep globalist lore based on John Birch society nonsense to joylessly playing memes is really... | ||
| There's a spiritual appropriateness to it. | ||
| Yeah, I thought for the longest time that part of the sales pitch of this conservative movement, or at least the way I understood it in the early thousands, was... | ||
| If we win all the way, then we'll also get their fun stuff. | ||
| Then all their pop stars will have to do what we say now. | ||
| We'll get all the good stuff. | ||
| Right now, because we're not in power, we have Hulk Hogan. | ||
| But if we win, we're going to get whoever you want, right? | ||
| Who would it be? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Come on, give me a wrestling reference. | ||
| I think they're getting Bon Iver. | ||
| That's my wrestling reference. | ||
| He's a bad wrestling guy. | ||
| Who would it be? | ||
| Booker T! | ||
| Okay, he's a commentator now. | ||
| I liked Booker T. I thought he was cool. | ||
| Five times! | ||
| See, that's what I was saying. | ||
| I loved Booker T. Is he a bad guy? | ||
| I don't want to find out. | ||
| No, The Rock was the Scorpion King. | ||
| Right, I know, but he had a whole segment that he did back in WCW. | ||
| Okay, well, I didn't know that. | ||
| Booker was making fun of The Rock being a movie. | ||
| And I got a sword, too. | ||
| Oh, that's fun. | ||
| Wrong move. | ||
| So, Alex plays a clip of the judge. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| From his narrative about this judge. | ||
| Not the judge from Blood Meridian. | ||
| Nor Judge Reinhold. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| These are the judges it is not. | ||
| It is this British judge that he saw a meme of. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Let's play that clip. | ||
| Here it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I went on to say that you did not want your money going to immigrants who, quote, rape our kids and get priority, end quote. | |
| This offence is so serious that an immediate custodial sentence is unavoidable. | ||
| Would you stand, please? | ||
| The sentence that I pass has been reduced by one third to reflect your guilty plea. | ||
| The sentence is one of 20 months imprisonment. | ||
| The sentence is one of 20 months. | ||
| Can I do a come on a laugh? | ||
| I can't even do it. | ||
| France migration chaos. | ||
| 77% of rape cases in Paris streets committed by Farners in 2023. | ||
| Shock stats reveal. | ||
| Remember, the numbers are always a year behind. | ||
| Of the 97,000 reported rapes, Almost all were foreigners. | ||
| So you can see here how this clip that Alex has of the judge is selectively edited to make it appear like he's sentencing the guy to 20 months for his comments about migrants when in reality it was him inciting violence at a specific place at a specific time. | ||
| Alex and his ilk need to play fraudulent games like this because without that trickery there's no content for Alex's internal monologue. | ||
| It becomes pretty clear what's going on otherwise. | ||
| And it also becomes very clear, once you get him cold reading this story about rapes in France, how full of shit he is. | ||
| He has never read this story. | ||
| He just knows the headline works for him, and he's written his own version of it that the actual text doesn't live up to. | ||
| That actual story, if you go find it, is about 97 cases of reported rapes in public places in Paris in 2023. | ||
| But that number is disappointing to Alex. | ||
| So you can hear him in real time. | ||
| You listen to that clip, you hear him decide that it's 97,000. | ||
| The next bit of text in the article explains that two-thirds of these cases haven't been solved, but that 28 of the 36 individuals who were arrested for solved cases were of foreign origin. | ||
| That kind of context and detail really isn't working for Alex's narrative directions, so he just completely bails on trying to read the story and he asserts most of the cases are migrants. | ||
| If you're listening to Alex's show and you trust him, you'd have every reason to assume that they're... | ||
| There were a thousand times more rape cases in Paris than that story reports, and that it was all being done by migrants. | ||
| But if you pay attention, you can tell how this is just the internal monologue of a racist liar. | ||
| By his own definition. | ||
| Yeah, that changing it to 97,000 is like... | ||
| It's egregious. | ||
| Yeah, that's just like... | ||
| Consequences happen, you know? | ||
| That's one of the reasons why I decided, like, we should play some of these clips. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Because it is such a clear moment of intentional lying. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That, like, you're dead to rights. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| In that moment, when you do that... | ||
| Totally. | ||
| You're showing your cards by the way that you're misreporting the story. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| I mean, so much of how these guys operate and how they get away with it is the ambiguity. | ||
| Is the ability for them to hide. | ||
| Behind something, no matter how flimsy, because you can't prove it in a court of law, you know, whatever it is. | ||
| That's provable, done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
| That's done. | ||
| The story about the machete murder, he says it's a 10-year-old who was killed. | ||
| And I found the story that he's talking about, but it's a 14-year-old person, and there's all this context and details to it. | ||
| And so if I were to confront him with this information, he'd be like, oh, talk about a different story and then move along, or whatever. | ||
| In this case, there is no real escape. | ||
| I know what article he's looking at. | ||
| I've read it. | ||
| And I know the mental process that he's engaging in in order to make this work for him. | ||
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it's just pretty obvious. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It is one of those things where it's like, once it's this obvious, there's just nothing, you know, like, I don't know what to do. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know? | |
| Well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nobody else is doing anything. | |
| So he lies about more stuff. | ||
| Sweden. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Most convicted attackers, foreign-born. | ||
| 70-plus percent. | ||
| So Alex says 70-plus percent there, but the literal first line of the article he's pointing to says, quote, about 58% of men convicted in Sweden of rape and attempted rape over the past five years were born abroad, according to data from Swedish national television. | ||
| So where did the 70-plus number come from? | ||
| As always, it's Alex's imagination. | ||
| The last story had a 70 number in it, so he's applying it to this one, even though it's a completely made-up number. | ||
| This is an article from 2018, and these numbers are out of date and presented out of context, but you can see the direct lying that he's doing. | ||
| It's just making shit up. | ||
| Yeah, that one is like, fuck it. | ||
| Why would you? | ||
| Why would you even bother? | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| Once you get to 97,000, why not go 100%? | ||
| Who fucking cares, man? | ||
| So he covers a little bit of a story about stabbing that happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure, sure. | |
| And he might get some of the details of this wrong. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
| And as that video came out a month ago, they tried to block on X. You know where else you can get it. | ||
| Where this Muslim in Germany is stabbing and killing. | ||
| He killed people. | ||
| He's just stabbing white people. | ||
| And a white guy fights him, and the police run in and tackle him and are putting him in handcuffs and beating him while the Muslims still... | ||
| And then he comes over and kills the cop. | ||
| Bam, bam, bam, bam. | ||
| And the police went apeshit. | ||
| And they were arresting people that posted the video. | ||
| You're like, how dare you show a Muslim kill the cop? | ||
| The cop tried to help. | ||
| He tried to defend the Muslim, tried to let him carry out his jolly work. | ||
| But he was just trained. | ||
| Hey, German defending themselves? | ||
| Oh my God, it's because the government's raping you, and the one thing they can't have is you stand up, because if one ant stands up, they might all stand up. | ||
| Like Bugs Life. | ||
| Let's play that next time when we come in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's play that next time. | |
| And it's that simple. | ||
| It's that simple. | ||
| So you had a look of shock on your face when he said it's like a Bugs Life, whereas for me, It was the exact same as when you knew an ad was coming. | ||
| As soon as he talked about one person standing up, I'm like, he's going to mention a bug's leg. | ||
| I know it. | ||
| I've heard it too many times. | ||
| No, it was the ant. | ||
| It was the ant thing where I was like, he's really going to do... | ||
| He's going to go... | ||
| He's going to juxtapose these two things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know? | ||
| So he's getting a few details wrong. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I should say. | ||
| For one thing, this happened at a specifically anti-Islam rally run by an extreme group called Pax Europa. | ||
| The main target of the stabbing was a keynote speaker at the event, Michael Sturzenberger, a man who believes he's fighting a counter-jihad and has a long-standing association with a number of... | ||
| white supremacist groups like Pegida. | ||
| Second, the police didn't try to defend the attacker. | ||
| In the scuffle that broke out, another bystander who was a refugee from Iraq tried to help restrain the attacker, and in the process was confused for the attacker and hit by someone which allowed the attacker to get loose. | ||
| The Iraqi man would later go on to say, I'm happy to help. | ||
| I live here. | ||
| I love Germany. | ||
| But him being confused of the attacker, since they're both migrants, allowed the attacker to escape, and he ended up stabbing a cop who had mistaken someone else for the attacker And he stabbed this cop who ended up dying from his wounds. | ||
| Anyway, the real story is a little bit different than what you hear on Infowars, but that makes sense because this is just one idiot's internal monologue pretending to be news. | ||
| So it makes sense that it wouldn't line up with... | ||
| I mean, I watched the video. | ||
| You can find the video. | ||
| It's not like you get arrested for posting it. | ||
| It's available. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, man. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, there's a lot of hate that he's getting through. | ||
| A lot of Islamophobia, a lot of xenophobia. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| A lot of pure, basic racism. | ||
| I'm telling you, before we even came in today, I was telling you about all the bad vibes. | ||
| I was telling you about all the bad vibes. | ||
| And then you throw this at me, man. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| Bad vibing. | ||
| Here's some good vibes. | ||
| Oh, I doubt it. | ||
| More news coming up here on the Alex Jones Show on this live Tuesday edition, August 13, 2024. | ||
| Huge guest coming up next hour. | ||
| Deep dive on who really runs the deep state. | ||
| But first, here's that clip from Bugs Life I was talking about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But there was that ant that stood up to me. | |
| Yeah, but we can forget about him. | ||
| Yeah, it was just one ant. | ||
| Got to play the clip. | ||
| So here's the good vibes. | ||
| We're not going to listen to that interview at all. | ||
| That's good vibes. | ||
| Some guy wrote a blog post and Alex keeps saying like, oh, you came so highly recommended from the Trump team. | ||
| It's just Roger Stone. | ||
| He knows Roger Stone. | ||
| And it's just like a bunch of people who are the deep state. | ||
| Oh, you got to watch out for them. | ||
| They're everywhere. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I found this blog post to be a little bit dumb and full of pictures, though, of people who he wants targeted. | ||
| So that's fun. | ||
| That's nice. | ||
| But Alex's interview didn't really bring much. | ||
| Unsurprising. | ||
| Not a lot of interviews bring in much these days in the far-right spaces. | ||
| Feels like they've already said everything that they want to say. | ||
| It does feel like it's tough to top. | ||
| Yeah, they don't really have anything to say. | ||
| I couldn't be happier with people in politics being like, The aggrievement stuff isn't working, Trump. | ||
| You gotta have policies. | ||
| It is like, man, nobody gives a fuck. | ||
| No, he needs to talk about how much blood his ear has in it. | ||
| You're out of your mind if you think pivoting to policy discussion means anything. | ||
| No. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Yeah, that's crazy. | ||
| So we got one last clip here. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Now these are good vibes. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Alex is talking about the attempted assassination of Trump. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And, you know, he made some predictions. | ||
| And he's been vindicated. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| For those of you that listen daily, you know I said this about probably 50 times or more. | ||
| Because I've seen the pattern. | ||
| Remember about two months before a white supremacist went into a Buffalo, mainly black grocery store, and killed a whole bunch of people? | ||
| I said, I think they're going to attack black grocery stores. | ||
| Now, you could ask. | ||
| And the FBI has. | ||
| How I know this stuff. | ||
| And I just take all the data in and then I don't even know how I know it. | ||
| It's like, like a code breaker. | ||
| I don't know what they're going to do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But... | |
| God tells you. | ||
| I said on air, the day it happened, July 13th, they shot Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. | ||
| And I said it a bunch of days after that. | ||
| We have the archivist pull up if you want. | ||
| I said, look for him to be handled by feds, to be going to D.C., and to be getting trained at federal installations or federally funded installations, and look for a Homeland Security connection to him, just like we saw with, remember, I didn't kill the kids at Sandy Hook, but people think that. | ||
| Adam Lanza had CIA-FBI connections. | ||
| Look it up. | ||
| And again, the same pattern happened again. | ||
| And Fox News has covered it. | ||
| Thomas Crooks trained at shooting range where multiple federal agencies reportedly trained, including DHS, visited the club 43 times, including holidays, since last year. | ||
| Attempted Trump assassin Thomas Crooks trained at the same gun range used by DHS. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| This is about the shooter having visited the Clareton Sportsman Club outside of Pittsburgh. | ||
| It's a big gun range covering 180 acres of land with over 2,000 members. | ||
| When Alex sits back and asks himself how is it possible that he made such a great prediction again, it's because he never proves anything. | ||
| He can talk shit about this shooter being a fed, but this is all it takes for him to claim that he's been vindicated in his prediction, so it means nothing. | ||
| More importantly, in the days around and after the shooting, Alex was insistent that the globalists were going to blow up a black college or try to poison Trump. | ||
| So how good were these predictions really? | ||
| Oh, it came out that the NSA or the DHS has visited the same gun range that he went to. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| Everyone who's visited this place is probably a suspect then, right? | ||
| It would have to be. | ||
| All 2,000 members, we need to have a Congress investigate that. | ||
| I mean, ironically, Alex is saying that essentially anybody who owns a gun is a suspect. | ||
| Well, definitely, if it were coming out of someone else's mouth, this would be gun grabber talk. | ||
| So here's something that I found. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I did a little digging. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I got... | ||
| I'm on to something. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So I looked into the Clareton Sportsman Club. | ||
| Not the Clareton Clear Sportsman Club. | ||
| No. | ||
| Gotcha. | ||
| Clareton Sportsman's Club. | ||
| Gotcha. | ||
| On August 4th, earlier this month, they had a full breakfast buffet. | ||
| No! | ||
| Yes. | ||
| At 8am? | ||
| Bloody Mary specials. | ||
| 8am to 11am. | ||
| All you can eat. | ||
| Eggs. | ||
| Bacon. | ||
| Sausage. | ||
| Ham. | ||
| Delicious. | ||
| French toast. | ||
| The Fixins. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| All of it. | ||
| Now. | ||
| I looked at their website. | ||
| I went to check this out. | ||
| And so they've got, like, you know, steamer trays, keeping things hot, keeping the eggs hot, what have you. | ||
| Chafing dishes. | ||
| It looks like, you know, just a hall where people are hanging out, having breakfast. | ||
| But I got to the last picture, and I was scandalized that the pancakes are small. | ||
| They're little silver dollar pancakes, not full-size pancakes, and therefore... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Who gives a shit? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| This is what he's using to say that this guy is somehow connected to the feds? | ||
| How lazy is this? | ||
| I think that surviving a public assassination attempt through guns raises your fist up. | ||
| Very powerful image. | ||
| Surviving a poisoning assassination attempt in public not going to give you the image that you want. | ||
| What if he was giving a speech and then all of a sudden just threw up all over everybody in front of him like he was a fucking Gallagher 2? | ||
| You know? | ||
| Like, that is not the enduring image. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| And I want to be clear. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No one got food poisoning at that buffet that I know of. | ||
| Listen, you can't prove that. | ||
| You can't prove that. | ||
| I can't, but I don't want you to make implications. | ||
| I'm not making implications. | ||
| I am just saying that if you can or can't prove it, I'm just saying that poison is still in play at the Claritin Clear... | ||
| Please do not express the knowledge of my podcasts. | ||
| Why else would you make the silver dollar pancakes? | ||
| Because there's too much poison for a big pancake, obviously. | ||
| I honestly was looking on their website trying to find anything scandalous. | ||
| I'm telling you, they're poisoning the pancakes. | ||
| I think the only other thing that I was like, oh no, is that they have a shot of the breakfast bar and they have orange juice, right? | ||
| And then they have apple juice, which I think is great. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But it's on ice. | ||
| And I don't know if I agree with that. | ||
| You don't put your apple juice on ice? | ||
| Wait, wait, wait. | ||
| The ice is in the apple juice? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Weird. | |
| And I'm not sure I would do that. | ||
| That is strange. | ||
| I would put the whole thing in ice. | ||
| Yeah, I've never seen anybody put it in ice. | ||
| Because you don't want to water down the apple juice. | ||
| So I think that's probably something I would take up with them. | ||
| But other than that. | ||
| You know, I've never done a show in a gun club. | ||
| I've done country clubs. | ||
| I performed a wedding at a gun range. | ||
| Did you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| Have you ever... | ||
| Yeah, I don't think... | ||
| I've never been to a place where guns are fired. | ||
| I think being, you know, growing up in central Missouri, I was around a little bit of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure, sure. | |
| I had some friends who were into guns and stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's... | |
| I don't know. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| It's not really that exciting. | ||
| Some people like it. | ||
| I'm not going to take away the enjoyment of it for people who enjoy it. | ||
| I think it would just be... | ||
| It's a context to do a comedy show or something like that. | ||
| A country club was a terrible place for it. | ||
| But, you know, they were there. | ||
| But if you're at a country club, you're not going to be performing on the links. | ||
| No, totally. | ||
| And if you're doing a show at a gun range, you're not going to be performing with everyone shooting next to you or anything. | ||
| You're going to be in the house. | ||
| I feel like that's the way it's got to go. | ||
| No, I think it would just be a room. | ||
| Okay, so here's what you do. | ||
| You have a gun show. | ||
| Gun comedy show. | ||
| Everybody's wearing helicopter pilot helmets, right? | ||
| Or earphones. | ||
| So they don't get the gun range noises, but they can still hear you. | ||
| Are you thinking of an inside or outside gun range? | ||
| You know, this is a very good question. | ||
| For everybody. | ||
| Because this is an outdoor one. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Well, 180 acres does seem too big for a room. | ||
| I think it would be difficult to have a comedy show at a shooting range inside. | ||
| Like one of those ones that has the booths. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I think that would be a real challenge. | ||
| That would be a struggle. | ||
| And also, it would probably be an issue if you were shooting and had to laugh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So, Alex sucks. | ||
| I would say this episode was... | ||
| Pretty interesting to me, because you have the very obvious the night before disappointment with the interview, and then the need to somehow salvage it. | ||
| So just bragging about the numbers, and then this turning into this internal struggle that he has of everyone loves me that becomes text. | ||
| The subtext becomes text. | ||
| When he says, this is just an internal monologue that I have, I just... | ||
| Totally. | ||
| And then it just descends into some of the most disgusting, Islamophobic, xenophobic, exploitative of sexual assault shit that I've heard on his show in quite a while. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And the stark... | ||
| Like, psychology of it, of, like, the massive disappointment, the hangover requiring him to be like, I am a good person, and then in order to justify how good a person he is, he has to claim that everybody else is a bad person. | ||
| Well, and I think the juxtaposition of this is something that is important, is that, like, this shit that he's talking about migrants... | ||
| Has as much validity as people giving him $100 at every restaurant that he goes to. | ||
| They come from the same place inside him. | ||
| These are not like... | ||
| Not like one's serious and the other isn't. | ||
| No, they're intertwined. | ||
| They're not just from the same place. | ||
| It's like they feed each other. | ||
| The more racist and awful and inner monologue he is, the more likely, I guess, people are to give him a hundred fucking dollars. | ||
| So also, this Clareton Sportsman Club, who is definitely not a sponsor of our show, they have a muzzle-loading group. | ||
| I have no idea what that is. | ||
| So, like, old-time guns that have to, like, load the... | ||
| I actually fully support that. | ||
| Yeah, the powder. | ||
| Fully support that. | ||
| You have to put the powder and the ball in there. | ||
| Those are the only guns that should exist. | ||
| And I do... | ||
| I don't know this for sure, but I would assume that they all have to come and... | ||
| Old time dress. | ||
| Obviously. | ||
| Otherwise, what's the point? | ||
| You can't be wearing modern clothes and putting the powder down with the little stick. | ||
| No, you can't be dressed like a b-boy and doing a powder muzzle. | ||
| No, that's not happening. | ||
| Doesn't work. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| So anyway, Alex sucks. | ||
| This is trash. | ||
| But we'll be back for another episode. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| This was great analysis on the interview, though. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I got a lot out of it. | ||
| I just want to be clear that I hadn't listened to all of the interviews, so thankfully this has cleared it up for me. | ||
| I think by the time Alex got to the studio for this show, he hadn't listened to all of it either, because he talked over a ton of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I don't think he went back. | ||
| No. | ||
| But we'll be back. | ||
| We will be back. | ||
| But until then, I'm Neo. | ||
