Knowledge Fight’s #976 dissects Alex Jones’ October 2024 claims—Trump’s Al Smith dinner amid elite skepticism, Musk’s $1M First/Second Amendment giveaway, and Jones’ debunked "Iran missile" prophecy. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Dominion fraud allegations clash with facts, while Jones sensationalizes Ukraine’s nuclear ambitions (Zelensky’s 2023 remarks, BILD’s hypothetical headlines) and misrepresents Texas/Georgia voting laws. His promotion of Musk as part of a "war" against Democrats and Schwab reveals strategic incoherence, underscoring his pattern of unfounded conspiracy theories and defensive editing over credibility.

Played it enough to where I kind of started getting the reaction time down.
And when you get into this situation with this game, you can get to the reaction time where you're like, okay, so if I press right now, then I'll teleport directly behind the guy.
But then they can do the thing where they teleport behind you.
And then you can do the thing where if you get it right, you can teleport behind them.
You can play against other people online, but I'm doing the story mode, which in this series of games, there was the old type that was on the PS2 that I played, too, that I enjoyed.
There's the main story of Dragon Ball that you can play along, but what's fun is they'll have, like...
Oh, if you beat this fight in a certain way, then you can see the alternate timeline!
So it is true that Mondale and Harris are the only time since 1960 when one or the other didn't show up, but the other did at this dinner.
But in 1996, neither Bilklin nor Bob Dole came to the dinner.
The Al Smith Foundation is a big Catholic organization, and abortion was a hot-button issue that election, so they just didn't have the presidential candidates come, opting instead to invite the VP candidates instead.
In 2004, they just didn't invite Bush or Kerry to come speak.
So this year, Harris didn't make the dinner, but she did send in a video featuring this message where she was doing a skit with Molly Shannon, reprising her role as Mary Catherine Gallagher.
There's a little bit of a tradition that the candidates go to the dinner and do a little bit of roast-type stuff, but who cares?
It's a room full of super-rich people cracking some jokes and raising some money for Catholic charities.
Bigger picture, though, this is exactly the sort of event that Alex is supposed to be against.
It's full of rich establishment assholes injecting themselves into politics and seemingly acting like some kind of gatekeepers or kingmakers.
If the only person not to accept their invitation to speak was Walter Mondale, a historic loser of a candidate, the message seems to be that you do not turn them down when they call.
This is just Bohemian Grove or like a Bilderberg Group type of energy that Alex should be opposed to on principle.
See, so the Bohemian Grove is a bunch of pagan guys who are super rich doing a bunch of weird rituals in the middle of nowhere, whereas this is a bunch of Catholic guys who are super rich doing a bunch of rituals in the middle of a place.
And I'm not saying it's going to come true, but I had a dream a week ago, and I had it again last night.
And I told listeners I had a really horrible dream last week, but I couldn't remember much of it.
But it was one of those waking dreams that's really intense.
You wake up in a sweat, really upset.
That happens to me a couple times a year.
And I've had them come true.
I've also had them be narrowly averted.
So I'm not trying to get into a bunch of metaphysical stuff here, but...
All right, well, let's stop right here.
It's no big deal.
I talk fast.
This morning I said, two hours ago, I said, hey, get me the clip of where I say Iran's going to use surface-to-air missiles, but it's not going to be Iran.
They're going to blame Iran for surface-to-air missiles.
The main threat is a surface-to-air missile.
Yes, I also said they could put a bomb on the plane.
But a bomb on the plane is not a surface-to-air missile.
So I want the archivist to find, I said it like 500 times, it won't be hard, surface to air missile, and when we put this as an archive to X, later today, the full show, I want that added in there and we'll cut me...
Okay, so that clip really pierces the veil of Alex's whole game.
He's trying to play a clip that proves that he predicted that the globalists would use surface-to-air missiles to shoot down Trump's plane, but instead they play a produced, edited clip package of him predicting something else entirely, and saying that he'd had these series of prophetic dreams about them putting a bomb on Trump's plane.
Alex knows that these are different scenarios, and people like Tucker have been building up how specific his predictions are.
But the reason this illustrates the fraud that Alex accidentally plays this compilation of clips that he would pretend didn't exist in the case that Trump's plane was hit by a missile.
These clips demonstrate how he predicts a ton of different stuff.
Then he just ignores whatever isn't convenient.
For the mind-blowing segment he wants to put on Twitter, he's literally telling the crew to get a different clip and edit it in there, essentially trying to cover up this glaring hole in the charade.
Yeah, why would this gift that you have of prophecy, why would it end up giving you multiple dreams, vivid dreams of the future, where you're trying to warn Trump about this bomb on the plane, but it's actually a missile, and oh, those dreams were wrong.
I've been seeing a lot of people post about that online.
And to go along with that, Alex, I was really shocked when I heard Kamala Harris during her Fox News interview with Brett Baer say and accuse President Trump that he would lock up his political enemies.
And she was saying that he would use the military against the American people.
Which is a complete lie.
This is the exact opposite of what has truly happened.
So this is a sitting member of Congress being asked by Alex Jones about the Biden administration telling the DOD to put out a directive to bring in martial law and kill U.S. citizens.
As a sitting member of Congress, her response is that she's seen a bunch of people posting about this on social media.
This is just embarrassing.
If you want to say that you see a lot of posts about how inflation is too high, that's fine.
Because you're reflecting a sentiment that you're seeing that's...
Valid, subjectively.
If tons of people are feeling the pressures of inflation and they're talking about it, then definitionally, that's an issue that a representative should address.
Conversely, if you for a second believe that the DOD is planning martial law to kill U.S. citizens in false flag social unrest events, and you're wanting to pretend that your belief is connected to a document or some kind of, you know, revelations...
You better not say, I've seen a bunch of people posting about this.
You better know this directive chapter and verse, because the threat of martial law in killing U.S. citizens is sincere, and it's very real for you.
You're an elected representative, and you have a responsibility to represent the people that elected you who presumably don't want martial law and don't want the military to kill them.
MTG having a moment like this is a dead giveaway that she doesn't give a single shit about this.
It's all just a game.
The political ideology is primarily centered on getting angry about tweets and then pretending everyone should take you seriously.
And, like, I don't know how to say this other than, she's in Congress.
Just earlier this morning, I received from a very good friend of mine that lives here in my district.
And so Whitfield County, someone posted up.
That when they went to vote in Whitfield County here in Georgia's 14th District, now remember, we're a swing state, and we need everyone to vote in my district.
And so they went to vote, and we have the Dominion machines.
And you mark, you go through and you mark president, you mark, you know, for Congress, that would be me.
They mark Donald Trump, and they mark who they were voting for the rest of the way down their ballot on the machine.
Then when they're finished, The machine prints their ballot, a paper copy, a printed copy, and each voter has to review that printed copy to make sure that it has selected the candidates that they want to vote for.
And so when this voter printed their ballot and they looked, it had changed.
It was not Donald Trump.
It was not me, and it was not the other ones they had voted for.
It had switched.
And so they went up to one of the election workers and they said, here's the problem.
The machine switched it and my printed ballot, I did not vote for these people.
So they had to start over and they went through it several times and it kept on making the same error.
Now, let me throw another possible explanation for you, okay?
Having read a lot of the memoirs and stuff of the different eras...
Most people were maybe too drunk to give this many words of explanation at any given point in time.
Like most of these congresspeople from like 1895 and stuff like that, you'd read about them and it'd be like, oh, he was drunk at 9 a.m. every morning, passed out at 1.30.
Why would you even ask him a question like, oh, is there voter fraud?
Because a lot of the polling has been up and down, Polymarket's become the big selling point for dipshits like Marjorie Taylor Greene trying to prove that Trump is going to win by a landslide, and that if he loses, it must be cheating.
The argument is supposed to be that a betting market is a system that works itself out and will give you more accurate information about public opinion than polls, since people have to put their money behind these bets.
In practice, this is stupid, though, because people who live in foreign countries and therefore don't vote in our election are able to gamble on this.
And this is where things get kind of interesting, because in theory, if someone in another country were to bet a And as it turns out...
This is not theoretical, because recently, a French dude using four different accounts placed over $28 million in bets on Trump to win, which very likely drove a large amount of odds shifting on that site, which was then being reported by people like MTG, Alex, Elon Musk, all these folks as proof that he's going to win in a landslide.
Now, what I would say in response to you, though, is that, like, I don't think that when Biden stepped down, people were like, Kamala's going to win by a landslide.
I think they were like, the chances are much better now.
And there was a wave of relief.
But my sense of it was not like, this shit's over.
It was just like, well, it's better.
This is going to go better for the left or Democrats than it.
So you might have noticed that Alex gave away that he had no idea what MTG was talking about when he said that he totally knew what she was talking about, but that she should elaborate.
So the court didn't say that Ken Paxton can't investigate voter fraud.
The district court ruled that a law Texas had recently violated the Constitution.
This was a law that made it a third-degree felony to compensate people for vote harvesting services.
But the way the law was written made it unclear if you could get arrested for doing something like providing food for voter registration drive volunteers.
Folks like Paxton have been working pretty hard to disenfranchise voters in their state, and the court just ruled that he can't do it this way, because it's unconstitutional.
This information is being relayed by a sitting member of Congress as some evil, unspecified they taking away Paxton's ability to investigate voter fraud.
So Alex has looked up this Ken Paxton story and accidentally revealed on camera that MTG is wrong about what she was claiming.
Then, instead of accepting that they got this one wrong, Alex decides to jump in with a bit of spin, coming up with a new plausible thing for the audience to believe.
That's all good and well, and it's what you expect from Alex, but this next move from MTG is just pathetic.
She's supposed to be the one who's informing Alex about this story.
You expect that she would have the facts.
And yet, based on just a cursory Google search, Alex introduces new information into the narrative, and MTG incorporates his context into her story like it's a bad improv scene.
Of course, I'm not weighing against any woman that decided not to have children or couldn't have children or don't have children.
I would never judge any woman that way.
But Kamala Harris is a woman that does not have children, and that means...
To me, that she truly, from her point of power, she's not going to truly consider the future of this country because she has never had children herself.
I would never judge someone for not having children, but this person that I really don't like doesn't have children, and therefore, because of that fact, is incapable of caring about the future in a way that I deem appropriate.
People really gotta figure out how to use the comma and the but.
You know what I'm saying?
Because a lot of the times what I'm hearing is people not understand that the but is not like a complete negation of the first part in order to serve the predicate.
I've been studying this stuff, knows the grindstone, 35 years.
I've been studying it for 40 years.
I was 10 years old, learning about the globalist, the New World Order, and I thought that was pretty important.
I didn't want to read comic books anymore about fiction.
I wanted to know about real stuff.
So I got into World War I, World War II history, Roman history, all of it.
I've read, no exaggeration, it's got to be over a thousand books.
And I hardly read books anymore about history and globalism because I'm just reading news all day and I already have such a backlog of knowledge and so many guests, I don't have the time to do it.
But I used to stay up until 2 in the morning almost every night until...
Probably about 12, 13 years ago, and then I just, I might read 10 books a year now.
Because I'm just, half the time I already know everything that's in the book anyways.
It's like Mario Puzo, who wrote The Godfather, never written a book.
He grew up in New York, actually knew the real gangsters.
He just changed the names of real things that happened and put it in a book.
And when he won all those Academy Awards, they wanted him to speak at a big college.
He's done interviews and told the story.
He's dead now.
And he was going to speak to a major university about screenwriters.
To screenwriters.
I think it was UCLA.
So he thought he'd go buy a book, the best-selling book that year, a few years after The Godfather came out, on screenwriting.
He bought the book, and the whole book was inside about The Godfather and how Mario Puzo was the best screenwriter.
Never went to college for screenwriting, knew nothing about it, wrote what they say is the best screenplay ever, and then he goes against a book that's the best seller about how to write screenplays, and it's all about how to do it the way he did.
So, and I'm not saying I'm that smart, but this is all I do.
99% of the time I go read something or whatever, and I'm like, I already knew that, knew this, knew that, knew that.
I just get more constantly watching clips of them, reading white papers, documents, legislation, globalist statements, what's coming out of the CFR, what's coming out of the WEF, and then it's all just a continuation of their death cult, world government, technocracy, mad scientists.
Okay, so this is fun and all, but Mario Puzo wrote the novel The Godfather, but the screenplay was adapted by himself and Francis Ford Coppola.
Also, he'd written a bunch of stuff before that and wrote in his 1972 memoir, quote, I'm ashamed to admit that I wrote The Godfather entirely from research.
I never met a real honest-to-God gangster.
I knew the gambling world pretty good, but that's all.
He got a degree from City College of New York, where presumably he took some English courses.
I don't know if he studied screenwriting, but he did go to college.
Alex is rattling off this nonsense about Puzo, because it's not about Puzo at all.
It's actually Alex talking about how he wants to be seen.
He's got no education in anything, but he grew up in this shit, and he's a natural talent.
He studied all the globalist documents, and now he doesn't need to read anything, because he already knows everything any article is going to say before he even gets into it.
He's too smart for information.
In real life, Alex just skims tweets, and then he gets mad about them.
I mean, it's not hard to think you know everything when all you're doing is looking at shitheads on Twitter.
I do like the idea of being like, I don't want to read fiction anymore, so I'm going to read history books about the two most fictionalized things that anybody has ever talked about.
I want to thank you for your support, but we need it now.
And I also need you to follow OnX, if you're a real Alex Jones follower, to go to what's in the corner of the screen.
At AJNLive.
One word.
Alice Jones Network Live.
It's just the initials.
At AJNLive.
And that is a system owned and run by other people, not me.
So the people coming after me can't shut down somebody else's company in operation.
And that's just a escape backup emergency pod that itself has a podcasting studio and a broadcasting desk.
The basic stuff.
And it's there.
And then there's some other stuff being set up and being done.
Because I really, even though Austin's been taken over by the communists, my mom's from here, I'm from Dallas, been here since high school, my family's all here.
Just because the communists took over this town, I'm not going to run out of here.
Incidentally, if you go to this Twitter account, you'll find a number of videos that are posted on there, which seem to all be Infowars broadcasts.
He says that they have their own studio and all that, but a number of these videos are shot in a studio with a clear Infowars sign in the backdrop, and I recognize them from his use on the show.
Also, as of this morning when we're recording, that account has 46,000 followers, which is about 6,000 more than it had the last time we checked, which is bad news for the viability of this escape pod.
Or maybe it's just a measure of just how few people actually are on Twitter anymore.
The idea of having millions of followers and then tweeting out to a different account used to mean that account was going to have an additional hundreds of thousands in a heartbeat.
Not maybe the whole millions, but there would be a big jump.
If you really went to the hotel conference room and it was just you and the guys you already know, you'd be like, oh, this is not the movement that I thought I was part of.
So, to be clear, if I'm to believe what Alex is saying, another company that he has no control over or direct involvement with has started up an Alex Jones VIP club that's kind of like a subscription service.
Alex had no idea that they were doing this, so when he heard about it, he thought, I better plug this.
This sounds really cool.
So Alex gets on air to promote this thing and plug it.
He hadn't heard about it before.
And to do so, to get this plug going, he reads a copy on the page that's promoting the VIP club, which is strangely written in the first person from the perspective of Alex Jones.
If I were Alex and I really didn't have any direct involvement with this company, I might think that they were taking liberties with my name and likeness.
It's one thing to call your store...
The Alex Jones store.
But they were writing ad copy for a subscription service named after him, and they didn't tell him about this?
I'm supposed to believe that launched without an arrangement in place for Alex to get a cut of this VIP club?
Yesterday morning, I got up at 5 a.m., got a cup of coffee, went and got on my desktop, and boom!
Right out of the mouth of Xi Jinping, the Chinese communist dictator, in battle fatigues.
He's never done that.
He's not one to...
Play soldier, usually, reviewing all the different military forces in two different speeches that we've got for you in Chinese and Mandarin, saying war is imminent, we are prepared right now, and I want you to get ready for war as soon as tomorrow.
He's found himself in a position where the candidate he supports keeps saying stuff that runs directly against his primary principles In any normal situation, this is a situation where you could pull back your support of that candidate and moderate your position But for Alex, this is a war against the literal devil that represents the culmination of his career's trajectory He's made everything he believes in, from political ideas to religious doctrine, secondary to Trump.
And in doing so, he's created an impossible situation to be in.
Trump is threatening to use the military as a domestic police force.
He's talking about how police brutality would solve the country's crime problems.
And even just on these two points, leaving everything else aside, Alex should not only abandon his support for Trump, but he should be denounced as an agent of Satan.
Alex made multiple videos and documentaries called Police State.
I think another issue here, though, is that Alex has just become a follower, not a leader.
He doesn't like feeling that way, so he's trying to act out in whatever ways he can to still pretend that he's a leader.
And this often takes the form of him interpreting imaginary clues about what's going to happen in the world.
Something that happens a lot, like G wearing camo, becomes a unique occurrence that only Alex is smart enough to understand.
One of the big problems is that Alex exists in a media ecosystem that's very impressed by people who find imaginary patterns in the world.
Conspiracies are about connecting dots and sometimes those dots aren't really there.
Alex has never held to account for these fake dots that he's connecting because the whole thing is just...
series of exciting fake dots.
By the time that you realize that that whole theory about Biden turning against Harris and how the globalists were in retreat, that was based on him connecting fake dots.
But by the time you realize that, he's moved on to another fake pattern that he's seeing, like, she never wears army uniforms, so this must mean war.
Yeah, I think, you know, like, okay, if you're Alex, the only thing that you can think of now that still gives people a charge from you, right, is that Tucker thing where it's like, he predicted 9-11.
So your value comes from being able to predict bullshit.
Right?
And the thing that he has that other larger people don't have is the ability to predict a million different things without ever receiving, like, oh, you look like an idiot now.
You know, like, even, like, you know, you see a smaller account of some sort posting some, like, oh, she's never worn fatigues before, and there are people who are just piling on, you're so fucking stupid, you know, for no reason.
That guy didn't even do anything, you know?
But Alex...
He can say that shit and get away with it scot-free.
I am your host, Alex Jones, coming to you from the embattled InfoWars studios in Austin, Texas.
And the intensity of the attacks on this independent pro-human Team Humanity broadcast are emblematic and are just symptoms of the larger attacks on humanity.
We are 15 days, 7 hours, 53 minutes, 6 seconds, the most important election in world history.
Then, President Trump will be President-elect, ladies and gentlemen.
In 91 days, he'll be sworn in.
But in the 76 days, when he is president-elect, the Democrats have prepared for martial law and the implementation of U.S. troops on the streets, seizing control of all infrastructure, and the killing of Americans.
It's all public.
I warned you of this for decades.
And now...
The secret plans they've been constructing and building and perfecting in the shadows are being revealed.
The knife, the dagger, the sword of tyranny has been unsheathed and is now pointing at the heart of our republic and the entire world.
And then you've also got Zelensky last month saying he wants nuclear weapons and may have nuclear weapons soon.
Then you've got Build last week saying that they are going to get nuclear weapons reportedly from their sources inside NATO in the next two weeks.
I reported on that.
And then it trended top of X. Is that true?
And Elon Musk asked the question of my live show last night under it.
NATO plans to give Ukraine nuclear weapons.
Is this accurate?
You can see his comment down there at the bottom.
Well, that's a build report.
And the hundreds of thousands of commenters and people, most of them agreed with me and were putting links to it, but...
Then others were conflating it with Zelensky last month, saying he wants nuclear weapons and is close to getting nuclear weapons, and then walking it back.
So I'm reporting on the most respected publication in Germany.
I just put it on screen for everybody.
NATO, a session, or nuclear weapon.
And so NATO is saying, and that's what the diplomats are saying, it's in the news as well, it's not just sources, that either Ukraine is allowed into NATO, Or it's given a nuclear weapon.
And that was a headline a few weeks ago.
The one last week was Ukraine to have nuclear weapons in two weeks.
Okay, so that's two separate stories.
And people then went with community notes and said, no, this was last month.
Zelensky said he wants nukes.
But then he walked it back.
That's a separate story.
From the build story.
So overhead shot.
I'll show you the build story and reports on the build story.
So here's Elon Musk asking NATO plans to give Ukraine nuclear weapons.
Is this accurate?
Community notes.
He asked community notes to check into what I was saying, which is a good question.
And then here's some of the build articles that are being confused with the one from last week.
All right.
Ukraine claims it could have nuclear weapons within weeks.
So Alex has been heavily pushing the narrative that NATO is going to give Ukraine nukes so they can bomb Russia.
He's been sensationalizing headlines based mostly on Zelensky's comments at a meeting of the European Council, and now Elon has tweeted about this, which threatens to take the narrative outside of Alex's sphere of influence.
If some globalists at Media Matters or the SPLC debunk one of Alex's claims, the audience is not going to give a shit, and they'll go on trusting Alex.
However, he's built up Elon Musk in a way that makes him a little bit threatening.
If Musk tweets about this and it becomes too clear that Alex has been sensationalizing and making shit up to scare people, the audience might actually take that seriously.
Because Alex likes Elon Musk's approach towards facilitating bullshit and harassment on Twitter, he's had to pretend that community notes are great.
It's a democratized way for truth to be spread, which is all fun and games until the thing that you're saying is shown to be bullshit by that very system.
And so, Alex is playing a little bit of defense.
It's very easy to hear his narrative and say, oh, it's just him sensationalizing comments Zelensky made, which is why Alex is trying to distinguish between these two stories.
So that's one of the stories, but the one that he's talking about is a different story from Build.
So I'm just going to go ahead and read to you the start of the article and build that Alex is talking about.
Quote, a bombshell from Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky on the sidelines of the UN summit in Brussels.
He made it clear how his country wants to protect itself from Russia in the future.
Either NATO quickly accepts his country into the alliance, or Ukraine will once again become a nuclear power.
The article continues, quote, This article is about Zelensky's comments at the EU.
In the context of discussing that, Bild mentions, quote, What a high-ranking Ukrainian official hinted at to Bild and other politicians and officials several months ago.
This official was said to have commented, quote, we have the material, we have the knowledge.
If the order is given, we will only need a few weeks to make the first bomb.
This comment from the Ukrainian official is the second story that Alex is pretending he's actually covering.
But he's got it all wrong, and it was just background context in this Build article that's actually about the story that he's pretending not to be covering.
But you get the defensiveness, because...
What we kind of have felt for a long time isn't correct.
He is worried about Twitter people piling on to him and community notes explaining what he's lying about.
So I was reporting on all of these developments, and people saw the headline, Ukraine may get nuclear weapons, and they went, well, where's the proof?
And then they went and found Zelensky a month ago saying, I want nuclear weapons, and we'll have nuclear weapons, and if you don't let us into NATO, we'll get nuclear weapons.
And then NATO's made similar statements.
Well, fine, if you don't let them into NATO, if you try to stand in the way, we'll just give nuclear weapons.
And Russia's already given nuclear weapons to Belarus, so this is getting out of control very, very quickly.
I don't understand any of these conversations, ultimately, because it sounds like people are saying we're going to move nuclear weapons so they will hit you five minutes faster or slower because we want you to invade or not invade.
I mean, it doesn't make any real sense, because we don't want them to have nukes, is like the idea being that if Ukraine...
has unilateral control over a nuke, then they would be able to defend themselves without NATO by using the threat of, like, a North Korea, in essence becoming their own rogue state, right?
So we don't want Ukraine to have nuclear weapons because then Russia couldn't invade them and there wouldn't be any pressure from NATO to have Ukraine join them.
But at the same time, we don't want Belarus having nukes because that's a proxy for Putin to give his nukes to Belarus, putting them a little bit closer, maybe avoiding a...
The point is, all of this is essentially, people are bored.
Because that's what brings that community note there and makes it, like, much more prominent that, oh, here's the community note saying that Alex's story is inaccurate.
It would not be seen by nearly as many people if Elon hadn't tweeted that.
And it's when a bunch of people basically get around you and tell you something that you know is true isn't.
And that works on weak-minded people.
Like a Jedi mind trick.
It'd be like if you're watching me on television in a room full of people right now, and you say, Alex Jones is wearing a dark blue shirt, and he has a blue background.
And you're in a room with two people, and they go, no, Bob, or no, Carol, or no, whatever your name is, Alex Jones is wearing a red shirt.
You go, no, it's a blue shirt.
They go, you're crazy.
And then when Trump saw the election stolen in 2020, and all the evidence has now proved it was worse than what we've said, illegals voting, dead people voting, ballot box stuffing, keeping the polls going for days, you know, with ballots only marked for Joe Biden, with not even signatures being checked.
Violating law, the judges said, we're not going to look at that when Trump would go file in court.
They'd say, we don't have jurisdiction.
The Justice Department, the FBI ran around.
One of these different postal workers, multiple ones in Pennsylvania and other states, said, yeah, I was driving down to New York into there, and I pulled up and sat there for like six hours.
Remember, the guy did press conferences, and I thought, this is weird, because he was watching all these other things being unloaded, looked like ballots being brought into his warehouse.
He said, I'm going to look in the back of the mail.
They have that authorization.
He was also an inspector.
He had that authorization.
Opens it up, and it's all marked just for Joe Biden.
And he goes, whoa, this is crazy.
And then he does a press conference, the FBI comes and threatens him, but he's since testified to Congress and legislatures, and it's all confirmed.
Okay, so this is about a single guy named Richard Hopkins, who is a mail carrier in Erie, Pennsylvania, that was interviewed by Project Veritas after the 2020 election.
He made claims about overhearing the postmaster discussing a conspiracy to backdate ballots in order to get more votes for Biden.
This claim caught fire with the dipshit Alex-type media who just assumed its accuracy because it made them feel good when in reality all evidence was pointing at them being losers.
But in addition to being a huge publicity stunt, these allegations were really serious.
If what Hopkins was saying was true, then this isn't something you can just let slide.
So the USPS did a thorough investigation of the matter.
They found that there was no evidence of his claims, and in the process of the investigation, Hopkins recanted his story, saying that he'd just seen the postmaster talking to someone and assumed that it was about backdating ballots.
In essence, upon questioning by someone who wasn't James O 'Keefe, this guy's story began to change because he was full of shit.
As he told them, quote, I didn't specifically hear the whole story.
I just heard a part of it, and I could have missed a lot of it.
My mind probably added the rest.
And then the postmaster Robert Weizenbach, a noted Trump supporter himself, sued James O 'Keefe and Project Veritas because their story ruined his reputation and caused him to be the target of a ton of harassment.
O 'Keefe, Veritas, and Hopkins all had to admit as part of the settlement that the story was baseless.
But this shit is profitable.
And so, you know, the game was supposed to go a little bit differently.
In the course of the USPS investigation, Hopkins recorded himself and the investigators when they questioned him, which was supposed to be then handed over to James O'Keefe, who could edit it minutely.
Yeah, coming and going.
Unfortunately, Hopkins revealed to the investigators that he was recording them, and they didn't care.
But because he was recording, that tape became a part of the investigation.
Before, O 'Keefe could have had editorial control over what got released, so he could tell whatever story he wanted.
But now the USPS had the raw footage, which made Hopkins look really bad as a source.
Hopkins had set up a give-send-go page and raised about a quarter of a million dollars based on claims that he'd made about this voter fraud.
So obviously this wasn't something you could just say, oops, about and then move on.
But once he decided to record the USPS investigators without their consent, he'd entered into...
really dangerous territory.
If he revealed what he was doing, the power of the propaganda story fell apart.
But if he didn't tell them and then O'Keefe released the video of their interview, he'd probably go to jail because he didn't have permission to record that.
Anyway, O 'Keefe got sued and had to put out a statement on February 6th, 2024.
Quote, neither Mr. Weisenbach nor any other USPS employee in Erie, Pennsylvania, engaged in election fraud or any other wrongdoing related to mail-in ballots.
Alex has created his own fun story to add on top of it, but it's all bullshit.
I feel for him just in a certain way because it's like all of the government is coming down on him and he's just got to be like, man, I was just talking shit.
Everybody else I see talking shit all over the place like this and none of them got in trouble.
They're saying in Texas, again, three weeks ago, and we have video from the Secretary of State and the statement saying, yeah, if somebody has a non-citizen ID, we're going to let them vote.
And then you point that out, and the left runs around saying, they're insane.
MTG's insane.
You know, that trended one of the top stories over the weekend.
MTG on the show Friday.
She's on tomorrow.
And she just said, I've got constituents coming to me.
And they're sending her the messages where it happened saying I vote Republican and it flips it to Democrat.
And then no sooner had she said that, that reports came in all over the country and the same thing happened.
MTG didn't say that she was getting a ton of reports of votes being switched.
She very specifically said that a friend of hers saw a post on social media that made this claim, and there was no proof beyond that.
Now, about that thing about the Texas Secretary of State.
Alex is once again lying.
Texas issues temporary driver's licenses to non-citizen legal residents of the state so they can drive.
Generally speaking, this license would be a perfectly fine way to prove your identity.
A video went around social media of a guy in Denton, Texas, discussing how poll workers might run into these IDs and that they can be accepted.
Naturally, the dipshits like Alex and MTG had a field day with this and it went around like what you're hearing.
This guy was saying that the voter registration workers might run into this type of ID because some citizens have them.
For example, you might be someone who has got one of these licenses, and then you become a naturalized citizen, and thus you can vote.
If you haven't gotten a new license yet, this might be your primary form of ID, even though you're a citizen.
This is why the Texas Secretary of State said that this was not a preferred form of ID to participate in elections, but that it's normally a valid ID.
After all these idiots started going wild on Twitter and claiming that the Secretary of State was saying that non-citizens could vote, the office came out with a very clear explanation that if someone presents this as their ID to register to vote, Texas requires them to also provide naturalization documents to demonstrate that they are a citizen and haven't gotten a new ID yet.
Alex is lying about this story because he's not covering the actual story.
He's covering...
People's stupid posts on Twitter about this and pretending that it means something.
So this is a really good clip that illustrates the disconnect Alex has with actual civics and how he takes advantage of the audience's lack of interest in reality.
It does kind of feel like you end up voting for a bunch of stuff in general elections other than the president, so when Alex says that local elections are always held with the general elections, it kind of feels true.
The audience can just gnaw along and be convinced that allowing non-citizen permanent residents to vote in local elections is clearly a plot to secretly let them vote in the general election.
It feels right, so Alex has proven his case.
However, all that's being shown is a lack of understanding of the real mechanisms of politics.
Local elections are not always or even frequently held at the same time as the federal general election.
It feels like an efficient way to do things, but it's not how elections work, and Alex would not be able to get away with this embarrassing level of being uninformed if the audience knew what he was talking about.
For instance, one of the places that Alex likes to complain about is Montpelier, Vermont.
They're one of the places that is allowed non-citizen voting.
They passed that law that non-citizens can vote in local elections.
These local elections are held for things like city council members and take place in March every year.
With the general elections.
Sure.
By far the biggest controversy around the non-citizen voting stuff, it revolved around San Francisco, where they passed Prop N in 2016.
This allowed non-citizen permanent residents to vote specifically only in school board elections.
These elections actually are held every two years, and they're held at the same time as general and midterm elections.
So you have to ask, how could they possibly keep all this separated?
And if you're curious about this at all, you can look at the San Francisco city government's election webpage and easily find that a, quote, one card ballot for non-citizen voters will list the board of election Great.
I mean like the ID, like needing the ID and all this stuff.
Put your money where your mouth is.
Let's have a practice election where everybody can fucking vote.
Everybody can just vote.
It's not a binding election.
We're just going to see what happens if everybody can vote.
With no IDs or anything like that and see where it goes and see if it's fucking chaos or whatever.
And I would guarantee a million billion times out of a hundred, it's going to be fine.
It's going to be similar, if not the exact same, if not more democratic and more reflective of the way that you will ostensibly want democracy to work.
But by having all the IDs, you can do all this shit, and then you can have the voter ID laws that are so vague that you have to have courts go to tell you not to do them so you have papers report on how you tried to do the vague thing, and the court saying that everybody's wasting everybody's goddamn time.
And you have all these initiatives to kick people off voter rolls this close to the election, and these are not sincere efforts to clean up voter rolls.
No!
Intentionally trying to kick a bunch of people off and they won't have time to clear it up before the election.
And in effect, you disenfranchise a ton of people from voting.
And then when courts strike down your purge of these voter rolls, you'll be like, they don't even want to clean it up.
I just had a congresswoman on to say what her constituents are telling.
You're allowed to do that.
That's free speech.
Oh, but they don't want it looked into.
Biden says he's concerned about what they're going to do.
Biden warns election may be violent.
Remember that three weeks ago?
And now here's some of the other headlines.
DNC announces initiative innovative six-figure investment in Democrats abroad to ensure engagement of key voters living outside the U.S. Oh, people abroad.
I think that Alex might have realized that MTG specifically said that Dominion voting machines are doing this flipping of votes and that Dominion was very successful with their defamation lawsuits about these things in 2020.
And so he's getting a bit defensive about it.
Isn't it a sitting congressperson's right of free speech to get on a shithead's radio show and accuse a real company of stealing an election and overthrowing a country's government based on an unverified thing her friend claims to have seen on Twitter?
Are we not a Well...
It took a long time to figure out where Alex was getting that idea that 25% of Georgia voters live abroad.
I feel like he's sloppy enough that he would make that mistake.
But as it turns out, this is about Brad Raffensperger, the Secretary of State of Georgia, saying that they instituted this new law, SB 189, that makes it so, quote, all early votes and all early accepted ballots have to have their results reported by 8 p.m.
That 70, maybe 75% of the vote totals will be reported no later than 8 p.m. on election night.
So one of the reasons that some votes won't be counted that night is that votes from military and citizens living abroad, they have until Friday to arrive.
So Alex and his dumb friends have decided that Raffensperger is saying that 25% of the voters in the election are going to be these overseas voters.
This is a result of Alex lacking very elementary reasoning skills.
Raffensperger estimated that 70-70% of the votes will be counted by 8pm on election night, not that 25% would be a mystery until Friday's deadline.
He was saying that all early votes and early accepted ballots would be counted by 8 p.m. and that a proportion of the in-person votes would be counted by then, and that would likely add up to about 70-75% of the total votes that would be cast in the election.
Some of the rest of the 25-30% would be these oversee ballots that have the Friday deadline.
Some of them would also be in-person votes that remain to be counted that night later into the evening.
The new law, SB 189, only mandates that these early votes have their results reported by the 8 p.m. deadline, whereas regular voting could go on a little later into the night.
This is very simple to understand, and if you're curious and asking a sincere question, you'll find and understand the answer easily.
In order to reach the conclusion Alex is, he has to either be a complete idiot who is not capable of any kind of critical thinking.
The article Alex is skimming, the headline there about the DNC has to do with them investing in a group called Democrats Abroad, which is focused on mobilizing voters overseas like military members.
There are about 9 million eligible voters who live outside the United States, and only 8% of them were registered in 2020, so raising their engagement rate seems like a good possible electoral strategy.
And according to that article that Alex is citing, there are approximately 295,000 Georgia voters who live abroad, which is not 25% of the eligible voters in the state.
It would be so funny if Elon Musk's hands-off approach to fact-checking and moderation of content in any way on Twitter accidentally destroyed Alex's business model.
You know, I mean, if you want to go even simpler and more just like purely elemental with it, you know, when Alex is fighting against George W. Bush, when you say it's me against the devil, it helps if you've got the devil on the other team.
You know?
It's much more believable than if you're like, hey, it's me and the devil versus the devil.
I've got a big New York Times article where they're bragging about the thousands of lawsuits the Democrats and feds have filed on Elon Musk and their lawfare plan to bring him down.
Support Elon Musk and his Starlink is an incredible product.
We use it.
Works great.
Just get it.
Support his other endeavors.
If you don't back people that are the good guys, you're insane.
This is an economic, cultural, spiritual, political, ecclesiastical war.
