Hello, Alex. | |
| I'm a first time caller. | ||
| I'm a huge fan. | ||
| I love your world. | ||
| Knowledge fight. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| KnowledgeFight. | ||
| KnowledgeFight.com. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| Hey, everybody. | ||
| Welcome back to KnowledgeFight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| We're a couple dudes like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| Oh, indeed we are, Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Quick question for you. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| What's your price about today, buddy? | ||
| Eh, nothing. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think anything actually is even going on, to be honest. | ||
| Not shit, man. | ||
| It's such a boring... | ||
| I got some mochi donuts that were underwhelming. | ||
| And not as good as I wanted them to. | ||
| I texted you about this, actually, because the potato donuts that you got fucked me over. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They were too good. | ||
| They're too good. | ||
| That the mochi donuts were not that impressive. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So fuck you for giving me these better donuts. | ||
| No, here's the problem with those potato donuts. | ||
| They're too good for flavor. | ||
| One of my complaints is that sometimes it's like, oh, well, it doesn't seem to taste as different from other flavors. | ||
| Because it's just great. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It just tastes great. | ||
| Each one. | ||
| They're all nines, but there's no ten. | ||
| There's no just like true transcendence. | ||
| Which is fine. | ||
| Yeah, I'll live. | ||
| I guess my bright spot is my buddy Nicky Gift sent me a link to a trailer that I didn't know was this documentary that's coming out about Yacht Rock. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
| And it is very much clear that the documentary is also about... | ||
| J.D. Riznar and Hollywood Steve and Hunter and Dave Lyons creating Yacht Rock. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| The show. | ||
| The show, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| And giving a new life to Michael McDonald and the Doobies. | ||
| That's so great. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it looks great. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| I'm very excited about that coming out. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| That actually genuinely excites me as well. | ||
| So I've been listening to some jams because of it. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| It reminded me of some smooth tracks. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| Always a good day when Michael McDonald's involved. | ||
| Hell yeah. | ||
| So what's your bright spot? | ||
| I suppose I'll do it then. | ||
| No. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Nah. | ||
| Nah, do it. | ||
| Well, I was going to say that my bright spot is... | ||
| Okay, how about let me put it to you this way, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So... | |
| Stuff happened, and I'm thinking about the end of Return of the Jedi. | ||
| You know, I'm thinking about the Death Stars exploding. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ewoks. | |
| We're all on Endor. | ||
| Ewoks are hanging out. | ||
| And I'm thinking about how there's Ewoks, and they've got like three Stormtrooper helmets, and they're playing them like xylophones. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Which... | ||
| As I'm thinking about it, I'm like, there's no reason for there not to be still human heads inside those. | ||
| They might have taken them off. | ||
| They might have, but there could, I mean, it could also, it was a literal war. | ||
| Like, people did die. | ||
| Like, the Ewoks were killing people, so it could be like, they were just like, ah, we do this sometimes. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But like, every time you see a helmet, do you assume there's a head inside it? | ||
| I'm not assuming, I'm just saying that I'm not not assuming anymore, because it was a bloody conflict, is my point. | ||
| I saw a football helmet. | ||
| Just sort of laying around. | ||
| I was like, there's probably a head in there. | ||
| Well, there wasn't a massive battle the day before that blew up the dead store. | ||
| Well, fair enough. | ||
| Every day is a battle out there. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| You make a good point. | ||
| They're going for yards. | ||
| No argument. | ||
| First downs. | ||
| So I'm thinking about this. | ||
| And I'm thinking about Obi-Wan and Yoda and Anakin force ghosting. | ||
| Kind of all smiling at each other as the curtain closes. | ||
| Which version of Anakin? | ||
| We're going with... | ||
| The remake? | ||
| Yeah, you know what? | ||
| Dealer's choice. | ||
| The point is he's a force ghost. | ||
| I don't care what he looks like, honestly. | ||
| And I was thinking about that, and I was thinking about how terrible it must have been for there to be another trilogy if you're Obi-Wan. | ||
| Because he doesn't... | ||
| Because he has to be in it. | ||
| He doesn't die. | ||
| He gets to be there and watch the Death Star explode again and be like, hey, I finally did it, guys. | ||
| And then they just do it again 30 years later and he's still the same guy. | ||
| Except that happened before. | ||
| Which? | ||
| The sequels happened before Return of the Jedi. | ||
| No, the sequels after Return of the Jedi. | ||
| Wait, is Obi-Wan in that? | ||
| No, he's not in it, but he's not dead. | ||
| He's a force ghost. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| If Yoda shows up as a force ghost, then Obi-Wan has to be a force ghost as well. | ||
| So when you're talking about the sequels, you're talking about the modern ones. | ||
| I'm talking about, yeah, Rise of... | ||
| Okay, not like Phantom Menace. | ||
| No, no, no, not like Phantom Menace. | ||
| Not the prequels. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Obi-Wan was not a ghost in those. | ||
| No. | ||
| He was still just a regular dude. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, I mean, he was a Jedi. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I would imagine that those adventures, had they happened after the first three movies, would be annoying. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Very annoying. | ||
| But, I mean, in this case specifically, you know, there is no difference for Obi-Wan between the first Death Star, the second Death Star, or any of the rest of them. | ||
| He's a Force ghost. | ||
| He's just sitting there, and he's smiling, and it's like, you know what I realized in that moment? | ||
| There's just days where you party and days where you don't party. | ||
| You know? | ||
| You don't need a Death Star to explode. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Just party whenever you want. | ||
| Do a little xylophone on a helmet. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| You don't need a Death Star. | ||
| Because Obi-Wan's seen all the Death Stars explode. | ||
| Are you speaking in code? | ||
| I am maybe hinting at a current event situation going on. | ||
| So you feel like you're a Force ghost in the Info War? | ||
| I feel a little bit like we're all smiling and happy as the Ewoks hit on some Stormtrooper helmets and I worry that I'm Obi-Wan. | ||
| I worry that I'm real happy right now and then 20 years from now I'm going to be like, Jesus Christ, Skywalker, get your shit together! | ||
| But you'll be a Force ghost. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So... | ||
| I would rather be... | ||
| Force ghosts... | ||
| Sounds like hell. | ||
| I would rather Oblivion in a heartbeat. | ||
| Especially if you're Obi-Wan, because you're hanging out with Anakin, who seems like a dick, and Yoda, who speaks in riddles. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, the two of them are not good company. | ||
| Arguably, it is your actions that led to both of their deaths, really, at the end of the day. | ||
| Yeah, we'd definitely be litigating that forever as ghosts. | ||
| As force ghosts, yeah. | ||
| That does not sound fun. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| So anyway, the Death Star blowing up that you're talking about is that Alex lost InfoWars. | ||
| I believe so, yes, that is the one. | ||
| So news came out this morning that the auction had finished up and the Onion bought InfoWars from Alex. | ||
| And, yeah, here we are. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| So today we're going to be talking about some events from today. | ||
| November 14th, Alex got up early and was dealing with the news quite early. | ||
| So in a weird way, though, Jordan, like... | ||
| This is one of the biggest moments in our time covering Alex, but it's simultaneously not that big of a deal. | ||
| You know, we're living in a very strange middle space of like, this is giant, but whatever Alex does in a week, in a month, it'll be the same behavior, and it's not really going to change that much. | ||
| That's weird. | ||
| It is weird. | ||
| It feels very weird. | ||
| It feels strange. | ||
| So we'll deal with some of those feelings in whatever way we can. | ||
| But first, let's take a little moment to say hello to some new wonks. | ||
| Oh, that's a great idea. | ||
| So first, from Will C., happy belated birthday to Professor William Calvin Nevin Esquire, the other mysterious professor, Dark Knight, and most definitely one of the good guys fighting all those bad guys. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're not a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you very much. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Next, shout out to my new puppy, Oswin. | ||
| Yes, from Doctor Who. | ||
| As she now has to listen to the back catalog with me. | ||
| Love ya. | ||
| Ya ma. | ||
| Meg, thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Next, Russell Brand. | ||
| More like Russell Generic. | ||
| LOL. | ||
| Got him. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And hey, Dan and Jordan, you should buy the FSS Winnebago and tour the country. | ||
| Then my wife could finally meet those two guys you listen to all the time. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| Adonaram. | ||
| There's a pronunciation. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Adonaram. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're not a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| I decided to over-mispronounce it because there's a pronunciation guide. | ||
| That's the safer way to do it. | ||
| I do think, you know, hey, getting in the Winnebago, that would be fun. | ||
| I think it's actually a good idea. | ||
| If I didn't have a cat, you didn't have a dog, two dogs and a wife, we could do that. | ||
| We could just go around the country in the Winnebago going nuts, broadcasting from the road. | ||
| Thank God you have a dog and wife. | ||
| Yeah, I was going to say, I'm glad I'm not one of two middle-aged men traveling to the United States and a Winnebago right now. | ||
| Thank God you have a reason we can't do that. | ||
| So, like I said, this is like a big deal, but not. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Strange. | ||
| Like, the empire that Alex has built, the Infowars brand and all of the stuff that's underneath it that he's created is no longer under his control. | ||
| The symbolism of this is enormous, and on a spiritual level, I do think that Alex probably won't ever fully recover from that blow. | ||
| Spiritually. | ||
| But that's just on a spiritual level. | ||
| On a practical level, he's going to be just fine. | ||
| He's already launched his Alex Jones network with all the old revenue streams repackaged into these new bankruptcy safe ones, or at least he thinks maybe it'll turn out that the court will be like, hold on, very clear what you're doing here at some point down the road, but for now it looks like he's basically set up the... | ||
| The new dummy. | ||
| It's a major day in terms of the epic story of Alex's career of bullshit, but for us, I don't think that much will change. | ||
| His show will take on a different form, and we'll go from there. | ||
| I have no idea what's going to happen from a logistics standpoint. | ||
| When I know more and can discuss it and have a better handle on it, I'll expand on my thoughts. | ||
| But as it stands now, this is all just a very weird turn of events. | ||
| We're going to cover November 14th today, which is the day that the news broke that The Onion had bought InfoWars. | ||
| But before we do, I wanted to briefly touch on something that happened on the 13th. | ||
| Roger Stone appeared on the show and he read a statement from Trump announcing that Tulsi Gabbard was his choice for the Director of National Intelligence. | ||
| This was a strange moment, because it was plausible as breaking news, and this was supposed to be something coming directly from Trump to Roger announced through Infowars. | ||
| Even though it had all the makings of a real story being broken on Infowars, they still seemed a bit defensive about it, and there was an air of, wait until the real news channels cover this and realize that we broke it first. | ||
| It just didn't feel real, even though it was... | ||
| By all accounts, real. | ||
| Right, right, right, right. | ||
| They were like, haha, we're daring you to do the thing that we did. | ||
| We're daring you to do what we did. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| To dare you. | ||
| Well, like, hey, I know that Roger's good buddies with Trump and all that, and I believe that he probably wouldn't make a statement directly from Trump if it wasn't legit. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Like, he probably would. | ||
| That might be a step too far for his shitheadery. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| So I assume that he's probably not just coming up with this out of nowhere. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| But at the same time, I'm still watching it and being like, I'll believe it when I hear it somewhere else. | ||
| I still don't trust you guys. | ||
| Yeah, like, do they think that's part of what they do? | ||
| Now barely. | ||
| Well, because I mean, isn't it that I always thought that breaking news, well, breaking news is like important and stuff, but it's also like a thing that... | ||
| It's like one of their services. | ||
| Ah, we give you the most breakingest of news. | ||
| That's why we have all these people with helicopters. | ||
| Nobody goes to Infowars like, oh, this is going to be breaking news. | ||
| Right? | ||
| We're going to get yelling about something on social media. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| No, I guess now it's just like we have a direct pipeline. | ||
| Like, Roger will give us exclusive bits of information from within the Trump camp. | ||
| Weird. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it calls into question, like... | ||
| How much of the dumb shit that Roger said in the past might have come from... | ||
| Just direct. | ||
| Just straight from the shit of fucking, yep, great. | ||
| Trump was yelling about ballot boats, apparently. | ||
| All right, that's why they're from North Korea. | ||
| So there was a little bit of a strategy to this move, I think. | ||
| Unless they're complete idiots, the people around Trump have to know that some of the appointments he's made since winning the election are a huge problem. | ||
| He chose noted neocon, war hawk type Marco Rubio as the Secretary of State, something that Alex should see as a complete and utter betrayal. | ||
| The choice of Mike Waltz as the National Security Advisor is dicey at best, and Peter Hegseth as the defense secretary should not make Alex happy. | ||
| Mike Huckabee as the ambassador to Israel should raise some eyebrows for Alex. | ||
| There's a lot going on that's, like, no good. | ||
| The people in Alex's area of the media are obviously going to be mad about some of these choices, and it's hard for a pick like this being announced on InForce to not feel like throwing Alex a bone. | ||
| It feels almost like a distraction. | ||
| Like, Alex is going to have a hard time complaining about all these picks he should be super against when he's so busy bragging about how Trump chose him to break the Tulsi news. | ||
| It seems like placation. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Almost. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| It's a trade. | ||
| It's a horse trade. | ||
| Yeah, it feels like that. | ||
| You're neutralizing the danger that someone like Alex poses if you just make all picks that he should be against. | ||
| I wonder... | ||
| I think the Huckabee choice is my... | ||
| Most confusing choice. | ||
| Because I wonder, genuinely, if he doesn't, on some level, believe that he is now going to bring about the biblical apocalypse. | ||
| He may... | ||
| I think he kind... | ||
| I mean, maybe he doesn't think he's going to, but do you think there's a part of him that's like, I can't do this, but I could? | ||
| Here's the part that's upsetting. | ||
| I don't know what lies in the heart of Mike Huckabee, but someone thinks he might. | ||
| There's at least someone out there who thinks he might bring in. | ||
| Finally, we got Huckabee in there. | ||
| He's going to bring the Jesus back for us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So, we start things off on the 14th. | ||
| Alex comes in early. | ||
| He is in studio at 8 a.m., so Harrison, your show is canceled. | ||
| You are preempted. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, it is 8.04 and 20 seconds Central Standard Time. | ||
| Thursday, November 14th, 2024. | ||
| And Infowars, that has been on the air for 27 years. | ||
| I've been on air 30 and a half years. | ||
| Is reportedly to be shut down imminently. | ||
| Now, I was lifting weights at 727. | ||
| All right, I'm getting feeds. | ||
| I understand we're scrambling here. | ||
| They're trying to shut us down right now. | ||
| You guys air tapes? | ||
| It's fine. | ||
| I've got to get this straight. | ||
| And we will play a report or something for a moment. | ||
| And then I'm going to come back and start over. | ||
| So, let's just give this a moment. | ||
| You guys hear whatever you like. | ||
| I'm going to recompose here and come back with this final transmission from the building. | ||
| Yeah, so he kind of knows that, like, this is it. | ||
| This is the, uh, this is the last, uh, last show we're doing here. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yeah, this is different from the they're gonna break down the door broadcast. | ||
| This is more like a, ah, shit, we're fucked. | ||
| Well, how about us then, guys? | ||
| Don't know exactly what else we can do. | ||
| It's early. | ||
| I didn't expect to be in this early. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I don't have a good answer for how to drag my heels here. | ||
| I think we might be fucked. | ||
| Smartest thing you can do is a morning attack on Alex. | ||
| You can't do a post-130 couple of bottles of whiskey in. | ||
| He's going to have some ideas about how to delay everything. | ||
| But he might be napping, too. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| That's also possible. | ||
| After his show, he might be taking a little nap during Owen's show. | ||
| Right. | ||
| What we're saying is there are times to get him and times not to get him. | ||
| Early morning is one of those times. | ||
| Yeah, I think it's optimal. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So he comes back. | ||
| He's recomposed himself. | ||
| And what do you know? | ||
| Star Wars is on the mind. | ||
| That's surprising. | ||
| Well, they're taking a line from Empire Strikes Back. | ||
| Imperial troops have entered the base. | ||
| Imperial troops have entered the base. | ||
| All right. | ||
| The Democrats are in the building right now, about 100 feet past that wall right there. | ||
| They have ordered the shutdown of Info Wars without a court order like they tried back in late May. | ||
| This is absolutely crazy. | ||
| But this is par for the course. | ||
| So this is stupid shit. | ||
| In the case of that incident in May that he's talking about, there was a state order to seize his business. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But that was halted by the federal trustee. | ||
| It wasn't so much like a rogue group of Democrats trying to pull off a sneak attack. | ||
| He just got saved by the federal courts. | ||
| And now, what does he even mean they don't have a court order? | ||
| He doesn't own this shit anymore. | ||
| It's not his. | ||
| Someone else bought it. | ||
| It's unsurprising, though, that Alex would be a little baby and make Star Wars references right down to the last second. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Where's your court order? | ||
| I felt the need to make mine just in honor of it, really. | ||
| Like, that's... | ||
| I felt like the first thing he was going to do is, we're in the Death Star. | ||
| We're the bad guys in this story. | ||
| Yeah, or quote Baron Harkonnen. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Something like that. | ||
| One of the other, like, oh, we are the bad guys being defeated right now. | ||
| So it was like, oh, all right. | ||
| That's where we're at. | ||
| So I just think that there's something... | ||
| Uninspired about the where's your court order? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I feel like that's almost muscle memory. | ||
| There's not a lot behind it. | ||
| That's what you get from him early morning. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| You got to give him... | ||
| Man. | ||
| I'm not going to judge. | ||
| If you come at me at 7.30... | ||
| You win. | ||
| I have no defenses. | ||
| I have nothing. | ||
| So, yeah, I imagine that it's not going to be a good day. | ||
| So, the Stop the Steal movement did not really get to get moving in the election because Trump won. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But, there's still, I mean, maybe something else was rigged. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Maybe this election, maybe this auction was rigged. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I'm going to be very calm about this. | ||
| I'm going to be very judicious about this. | ||
| I'm going to lay out the facts for everybody. | ||
| And here's the best place to start. | ||
| I am exercising at 7.27 this morning, and I get a call from my company representatives, lawyers, accountants that are meeting with the U.S. trustee, Chris Murray, here in Austin, Texas, about the bankruptcy auction sale that was announced two months ago as an open public online major auction. | ||
| And then on Monday afternoon at 3 p.m., I got a call, and they had been getting phone calls and emails from the U.S. trustees saying, we're changing the sale from a public auction to one bid from each bidder. | ||
| There were three bidders, I'm told. | ||
| And the highest bid is final. | ||
| But we reserve the right to take a lower bid. | ||
| How about moving the goalposts? | ||
| And I said, right there. | ||
| Fix this in. | ||
| The good guys we're working with aren't going to even be able to buy it no matter how much money we have. | ||
| Because, again, the Sandy Hook Democrat Party lawyers said in court and said in mediations, and I can talk about that because they said it outside of mediation, we don't want money, we want him shut down. | ||
| You've seen all those clips, we'll play them again in a moment. | ||
| So, this isn't about money. | ||
| The court cases were rigged. | ||
| The judges both found me guilty by default, said I didn't give him discovery. | ||
| None of that was true. | ||
| Then they had show trials, HBO, all scripted. | ||
| PR firms ran it all, the FBI created the lawsuits, the CIA was involved, that's all come out. | ||
| It's all come out! | ||
| It's on record! | ||
| So, I mean, a lot of this show, obviously, is just him over and over again talking about how wronged he's been. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, it is a little bit boring. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It gets incessant at a lot of points. | ||
| And, I don't know. | ||
| Is it the best use of time? | ||
| I mean, take the day. | ||
| You lost. | ||
| You've demonstrably lost. | ||
| So take the L. Take the day. | ||
| Go to a spa. | ||
| You know, like, hey, everybody's thinking you're supposed to be all stressed out and this is the worst day of your life. | ||
| Zig. | ||
| You absolutely can't, I think, when you're Alex, because you need the... | ||
| I'm being dragged out of the studio moment. | ||
| Fair. | ||
| You want that very badly. | ||
| You're coming in and preempting Harrison's show because it would be a fucking bummer if the globalists dragged Harrison out of the studio. | ||
| Yeah, that would be a bummer. | ||
| So Alex needs to be in that chair to precipitate that moment that he really wants. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so... | ||
| You know, just fill time. | ||
| Just talk about your plight until something happens. | ||
| You gotta stage it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You gotta stage it. | ||
| You should've. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| Because they're gonna take you off air before they actually do the stuff. | ||
| You'd think. | ||
| Right? | ||
| You'd think. | ||
| So it's all rigged. | ||
| Everything's rigged. | ||
| Couldn't have won this auction if you wanted to. | ||
| It's no good. | ||
| It's a deep state. | ||
| So Alex is gonna appeal the auction. | ||
| Okay, great. | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| 7-29. | ||
| Can you do that? | ||
| The meeting had just ended, and my representative said, yeah, exactly what you said just happened. | ||
| They are coming to the studios now, and they are going to order it shut down. | ||
| I said, with a court order? | ||
| And they said no, technically, because he's the trustee over your personal bankruptcy and your own InfoWars. | ||
| He has some claim to that, but the other bidders that filed... | ||
| Who were told they were entering, when they put in sealed bids months ago, a public auction and could bid up if they needed to, had major claims and could put in emergency injunctions and put this before Judge Lopez that has been really, really concerned about what he saw with the last trustee. | ||
| And so that's going on right now with the group that I was open to working with coming into my InfoWars, but they never even told me what they were bidding. | ||
| None of that information because that's how the regulations work. | ||
| Yeah, so I totally didn't know anything about that. | ||
| So yeah, apparently Alex can't appeal anything, but he can try and get these other people who bid to complain about it like they didn't have a fair shot in the auction. | ||
| The people he's not actually affiliated with in any way. | ||
| There's just interested parties. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He calls them my guys, the good guys, the people I'm working with. | ||
| But they're separate from him, so you know that you don't need to worry about there being any kind of collusion. | ||
| There's rules. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So I don't think this is going to work. | ||
| I think this is sad and whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But what do you expect from him? | ||
| Like, it's just another way that he thinks that he can... | ||
| Delay, be a problem for people, create some sort of a, hey, no rule says the dog can't play basketball kind of moment. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Watched Air Bud the other night. | ||
| Did you? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| How was it? | ||
| It's been a long time since I've seen it. | ||
| It's too long. | ||
| Too long? | ||
| Dog doesn't play basketball for the first, like, three quarters of the movie. | ||
| Do you know what I honestly think now remembering Air Bud? | ||
| I wish it was Teen Wolf. | ||
| A movie also is all about trauma. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, the Onion bought Infowars. | |
| So we may never know, ultimately, what all the bids were. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Now it just broke. | ||
| My phone's blowing up. | ||
| Steve Bannon and everybody calling. | ||
| The Trump folks calling, saying, oh yeah, it's in the news that the Connecticut people got it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The Onion newspaper came in with the money at their direction. | ||
| They admit that. | ||
| The Democratic Party. | ||
| And they... | ||
| Bought it. | ||
| And when my representatives asked Chris Murray an hour ago, okay, was it the bigger bid? | ||
| He said, he's a lawyer, it was competitive. | ||
| Now, this is supposed to all be made public. | ||
| So now I'm going to learn what the good guys bid. | ||
| I still don't know. | ||
| And then we're going to learn supposedly what they bid. | ||
| Or are we? | ||
| Maybe they're going to say that's secret because... | ||
| That's par for the course. | ||
| So to be totally clear, I don't know anything about the bids that were placed or even how many bidders there were. | ||
| I can't do anything with the claim that Alex is trying to make except to underline a few things to help illustrate the things that he's trying to imply without proof. | ||
| He claims that the trustee in this case, Christopher Murray, was asked if the onions bid was the highest, and that he replied that it, quote, was competitive. | ||
| This is not an answer to the question, but Alex is relaying this alleged quote as a way of asserting that the winning bid was in fact not the highest. | ||
| If we assume that it's possible that a lower bid was accepted, Alex has not demonstrated this, but he's pretending that he's proven it already. | ||
| He's doing this because Alex is the world's biggest victim. | ||
| Everything is being done to him, and everyone has it out for him because he's the only person who can do psychic warfare against the devil. | ||
| It would be kind of disempowering for him to just come on the show and be like, We got outbidded. | ||
| So this kind of plot line is pretty important for maintaining morale around the place. | ||
| I don't know if this is true. | ||
| If I understand what I read... | ||
| Correctly. | ||
| Then I believe that some of the plaintiffs put up some of their share or whatever of the settlement as part of it. | ||
| Which I think is amazing. | ||
| Because the plan was to never actually pay that money. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And he wasn't going to have enough money to ever pay that money anyways. | ||
| So in like a longer term sense, that money wasn't real. | ||
| You know, like it was never going to become physical money that you could spend. | ||
| But because it's still technically real, they used that invisible fake money that was never going to become real money that you could spend to buy his place. | ||
| Which I think is very fascinating considering he's the person who's like, ah, we should never have made the Fed. | ||
| Perhaps he's got a point. | ||
| Yeah, he's accidentally coming to his own defense. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Yeah, that is an interesting thing. | ||
| I don't fully understand all of the dynamics of that, but I do think that every single auction, they reserve the right to not accept certain bids. | ||
| Like, if somebody is clearly operating from a place of fraudulent intent, or if the highest bidder is ISIS, Like, you don't have to accept the bid. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| You know? | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| I feel like, in general, a no-shirt-no-shoes-no-service policy is fine. | ||
| It happens. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| And I think it's probably standard boilerplate of, like, every auction. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| I mean, hey, you're participating in our auction. | ||
| It's not like you could... | ||
| You would be stealing it if you could just take it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| You're just paying a lot to steal something. | ||
| Yeah, you're just... | ||
| Is that what all the money is, man? | ||
| Oh, man, you just blew my mind. | ||
| So, Air Bud. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No. | ||
| Tell me more. | ||
| Alex, I get a real sense from him that he is doing some coordinating with the other bidders. | ||
| Oh, yeah? | ||
| I get... | ||
| There's just a vibe that you get. | ||
| You think? | ||
| Maybe he's a little involved. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| Two months ago, people qualified. | ||
| For the auction, you had to show them your credit, show them bank accounts, put down money. | ||
| They signed a contract. | ||
| The folks I was going to work with, I worked with for many years, are the great patriots and very good at business. | ||
| I tell them, I go, watch last minute, they'll change the rules. | ||
| Their lawyer's like, no way, you can't do that. | ||
| That's not how this works. | ||
| This is transparent. | ||
| Monday afternoon, they get a call at 2 o 'clock. | ||
| I get a call at 3. They're told by the U.S. trustee. | ||
| Well, now... | ||
| You just put in one bid. | ||
| The 8th of November had been the last day to put in bids. | ||
| They had to qualify before that. | ||
| Now they said you have until 10 a.m. on the 13th to put in a final bid. | ||
| I guess so folks could look at what the good guys have put in. | ||
| That's speculation, but that's pretty obvious. | ||
| In my view, that's 1 plus 1 equals 2. Deduction, my dear Watson. | ||
| That's what I think is probably going on. | ||
| 99% chance. | ||
| But we're not alleging that. | ||
| We're just saying he's being investigated. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And... | |
| Wait, what? | ||
| Then at 10.30, they opened the bed yesterday, and then we get told last night, you'll learn in the morning. | ||
| And I put out a post on X saying we've been told we'll learn in the morning. | ||
| So I tell my lawyers, everybody, I said, okay, well, they're going to come in the morning with no money paid, no wired, no contracts, no nothing. | ||
| We'd been told that the group I was working with... | ||
| Was able to win the bid, which we knew would never happen. | ||
| I knew. | ||
| And I said that on air. | ||
| That it would take one month for that process to go through and that the trustee and everybody would still be in charge for one month. | ||
| So if the good guys buy it, they get it in a month. | ||
| If the bad guys get it, they get it instantly with no paperwork, no money wired, no nothing because they're the Democratic Party. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So... | |
| Outrageous. | ||
| That's outrageous. | ||
| It's nut-rageous. | ||
| Seems to know a lot about the goings-on of the good guys. | ||
| It's going to take us probably about a month to convince the government that we are not actually you. | ||
| So we won't be able to just give it all back to you right away. | ||
| We have to lay low for a while. | ||
| You know after you murder a guy, you gotta leave the country for a while until the heat dies down? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's about that month for us, Alex. | ||
| So we'll buy your place again. | ||
| Don't worry, there's no consequences coming your way. | ||
| Yeah, just be cool. | ||
| Just be cool. | ||
| Yeah, that month is the be cool month. | ||
| Don't say we're quote-unquote the good guys. | ||
| That's a bad move. | ||
| So also, where you said what when Alex was saying, we're not alleging this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He was doing that because he has to be really careful when he's talking about the idea that these rules were changed and it needs to be investigated, but he's not alleging it because he would, I think, be accusing the auction company of a crime. | ||
| I think that he would be possibly slandering 360 asset advisors, which is the group that held the auction. | ||
| No matter what he says, the terms of the auction clearly say that quote 360 and the Chapter 7 trustee reserve all rights to modify timing and sale process as necessary and at their sole discretion in conformity with the court order. | ||
| Anyone who's going to participate in this auction agreed to the terms, so even if all of Alex's dumb complaints are true, he's just yelling at the wall. | ||
| The legal document filed on September 27th announcing Alex's auction says, quote, Please take further notice that the trustee intends to conduct the IP assets auction, at which time he will consider qualifying bids submitted to the trustee and his professionals by and pursuant to the order beginning on November 13th, 2024, at 1030 a.m. through TransOn360's selected online auction platform. | ||
| The trustee would consider bids starting at 1030. | ||
| That doesn't say that there would be a back-and-forth bidding session that would start then and go till 5, or whatever Alex imagines. | ||
| The deadline to get qualified was November 8th. | ||
| Then, if you were accepted, you could enter bids. | ||
| The posting about this auction literally says, quote, bidders submitting bids deemed competitive by the bankruptcy trustee and auctioneer may be invited to participate in a round of live overbidding. | ||
| They may, but it doesn't say that they will. | ||
| Alex can cry foul all he wants, but he's just whining. | ||
| That same notice from September 27th also says, quote, Please take further notice that the trustee reserves the right to modify the procedures for bidding and auctions and or to terminate discussions with any potential bidder at any time. | ||
| He has nothing to appeal here and there's no court avenue to go down. | ||
| This is all just bluster and him trying to waste people's time even more than he already has. | ||
| It's just sad. | ||
| It's important to keep in mind because it has been difficult. | ||
| Considering his position within the company and its continued existence. | ||
| But he did no longer own InfoWars for the longest time. | ||
| He has already not owned InfoWars for a long time. | ||
| It's been under the trustees' control. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Well, yeah. | ||
| So he couldn't have been like, no, I'm not selling. | ||
| He doesn't own. | ||
| Yeah, there's that sort of middle ground of you don't technically own this. | ||
| It's in the estate or whatever. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And the control of the estate is in the hands of the trustee. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, so you still can't be like, oh, they sold it out for money. | ||
| No, you did not own it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You don't have rights that are being violated. | ||
| You're not the boss of anyone. | ||
| No, and the other people who were bidding the good guys. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They all agreed to the terms of the auction in order to participate, and there's nothing to do here. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's absurd. | ||
| Yeah, if you get thrown out of a bar, it's probably your fault. | ||
| Probably? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So Alex begins to read the press release that was put out by The Onion, although it is good to remember that Onion press releases are often fake. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Is that like a thing that they do? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| When did this start? | ||
| They're joke people. | ||
| Ugh. | ||
| And then there is The Onion with Here's Why You Decided. | ||
| To buy Infowars. | ||
| And it's just absolutely ridiculous. | ||
| No, Infowars was not founded in 99. It was founded in 2000. | ||
| I mean, in 1997. | ||
| Just all this is pure crap. | ||
| So, you didn't buy Infowars. | ||
| Infowars belongs to the people, Mr. Onion. | ||
| And it's always belonged to people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, that's it. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| So Chase says be ready for them to come now. | ||
| They're running around out there right now, right outside the studio. | ||
| Oh man, the forces of evil are outside the studio working for Mr. Onion. | ||
| So I don't feel like Alex is selling this well. | ||
| The people who are coming to take him out are inside the building and about to enter the studio. | ||
| Chase has given him this warning. | ||
| But in terms of audio theater, this is falling flat. | ||
| There isn't a feeling from Alex of trying to make the most of these last minutes. | ||
| It really kind of feels like, let's get on with this so I can start my show from the fake company studio already. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He has no leg to stand on here. | |
| He's just kind of wasting his own time. | ||
| But he can't leave. | ||
| Right. | ||
| It has to be taken. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And so that tension is pretty funny, I guess. | ||
| Just, like, sit there and wait patiently until somebody kicks you out. | ||
| And I think that the thing you would do if you were Alex and you were a sincere person is you would cover the fucking news that's really important. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| What's going on? | ||
| In the face of being shut down, you would do your fucking job. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And until they take you off the air, you're going to really get into the weeds about Trump's picks. | ||
| For cabinet positions, and you're going to talk about how great Elon Musk is. | ||
| From our first moment to our last moment, we gave you what you asked for. | ||
| I'm going to be dragged out of here yelling about chimeras, damn it. | ||
| But no, it's just mostly like, my lawyers are totally going to complain. | ||
| Yeah, my dad will beat up your dad. | ||
| I mean, I don't know if there's anything super inherently funny in any media company buying another company, but now that I've heard him say Mr. Onion, it's very funny. | ||
| Yeah, I'm on board. | ||
| I think that what happened there is that Alex is reading the fake press release, and he realizes pretty fast that it's a joke. | ||
| And so he doesn't read much. | ||
| He sees the 1999 and decides to just... | ||
| Launch off at that point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But he saw the name of the fake owner and couldn't pronounce it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think that's what happened. | ||
| And so he was just like, Mr. Onion. | ||
| Oh, Mr. Onion strikes again. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So he has some other things that he sort of skimmed from this press release, though. | ||
| The Onion owner says he did this because I claim there's Satanism in the world. | ||
| So it's basically Saul Alinsky. | ||
| You know, don't tell people that there's God and the devil. | ||
| So it always goes back. | ||
| They're the same thing. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| So, Alex has seen this fake press release that The Onion put out titled, Here's Why I Decided to Buy InfoWars, written by fake Onion owner Bryce P. Tetrader, which says, It's hard to tell if he knows fully that this is a joke article, but he has some kind of, like... | ||
| There's some kind of alert that he has in his mind to not take this really seriously, but then claim that the part about the Satanism is serious. | ||
| So, I just think that this is a good kind of microcosm of, you know, like, this is a joke press release that got put out. | ||
| Alex is saying that the guy at The Onion said that he bought it because... | ||
| Alex says there's Satanism, which is based on him just skimming this fake press release, seeing the word satanic panic, and then going from there. | ||
| It's the same thing with, like, you know, there was that joke article about, like, a woman who sexually enjoyed getting abortions, and Alex couldn't tell that that was satire. | ||
| And so to the audience, it's real, and he acts as if it's real. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so that's what he's doing with this, you know, they're attacking me for Satanism. | ||
| About the joke article. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I think even he feels like it's a wash, though. | ||
| You know, like, they're not being serious. | ||
| I'm not actually serious. | ||
| We're just kind of... | ||
| It's a wash. | ||
| I'll just say whatever. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| On multiple points later, when Owen comes in, he's talking about how, like, oh, they're a joke site. | ||
| You're putting a joke on a joke. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I agree with him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like, Alex's content is essentially a joke. | ||
| It's already a joke, yeah. | ||
| And you're making a joke on top of that, which is strange. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But what he's talking about is... | ||
| The system is a joke. | ||
| So a joke site buying them, that's a joke on a joke. | ||
| Man, they are bad at this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I think they're also, well, maybe not. | ||
| Maybe they're actually good at coordinating with the good guys. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| I doubt that. | ||
| You're seeing headlines. | ||
| InfoWars sold. | ||
| Onion wins the bid. | ||
| Onion wins. | ||
| Alex Jones InfoWars and bankruptcy auction. | ||
| They changed it the last minute. | ||
| They won't let us know what's going on. | ||
| It was all sealed, and they said it was, quote, competitive. | ||
| The folks that were part of the so-called auction, they have the standing on the right, and they're going to file emergency injunctions. | ||
| And I had my lawyers tell that to the U.S. trustee. | ||
| They know that, but again, the proviso to buy it was before you get the money, before we wire it, before the judge approves it, we want it shut down. | ||
| They want that power to crucify us. | ||
| You'll see how that works out for you. | ||
| That's the archetype. | ||
| I'm not comparing myself to Jesus, but the archetype is... | ||
|
unidentified
|
This time, at this exact moment. | |
| And so, that's what's happening here. | ||
| So, this is a big deal. | ||
| Take the live feed from real Alex Jones. | ||
| Rob Dew is sitting there nodding. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| A little bit. | ||
| So Alex's lawyers are in coordination with the other bidders to the extent that they're communicating to the U.S. trustee on behalf of these other bidders. | ||
| This doesn't seem like a great arrangement. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I mean, you'd think that, like, but see, that's the thing about lawyers is that you can be there close to them physically, pay them. | ||
| Have them be your friends and know you and have long been your retainer and yet still be legally distinct from them whenever they work in your behalf. | ||
| Isn't that crazy? | ||
| You know what's really nuts is when your lawyer also hosts a show on your network. | ||
| It is weird. | ||
| It's almost like that shouldn't even be okay. | ||
| Well, it wasn't. | ||
| But that was just a ratings issue. | ||
| So, Alex, at this point, I guess, is just whatever. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| We've been building up this other business behind the scenes. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| But he said something in this next clip that I thought was really funny. | ||
| So, we have been doing all this behind the scenes with our great backers and sponsors. | ||
| And we got major backers that were also just waiting to see what happened here. | ||
| But our main backers are you. | ||
| Because I know when I get the support, I can't be compromised. | ||
| I can't be threatened. | ||
| I can't be bought off. | ||
| I can't be intimidated. | ||
| Our backers are great, but like Tony Montana says, who do I trust? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Me! | |
| Who put this together? | ||
| Me! | ||
| And so, and that means the whole family and the crew, and you, the viewers, and the listeners. | ||
| Does it, though? | ||
| It is a distinct honor to be here in defiance of the tyrants. | ||
| I mean, look, I've not had Chris Murray come in here. | ||
| And tell me, to my face, get off the air. | ||
| I've not had them tell me the authority. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Please do that. | |
| Please, Mr. Murray. | ||
| I've said over and over again. | ||
| Please come here and tell me I have to get off air. | ||
| We'll put it on. | ||
| Or when someone comes and explains this to me. | ||
| People will think I'm cool. | ||
| How this is working. | ||
| And when the folks we're working with that have standing. | ||
| I'm treading fucking water here and no one has told me to get off air. | ||
| Please. | ||
| Someone. | ||
| For God's sakes, I cannot jump off the bridge. | ||
| I need you to push me. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| There's such a dynamic of that that he's kind of accidentally revealing of himself. | ||
| All these people are going to hang me. | ||
| They're going to pull this noose. | ||
| They're going to hang me. | ||
| I swear to God. | ||
| Could somebody please pull the noose? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Come on. | |
| Come on. | ||
| I'm not going to hang myself. | ||
| What am I, an idiot? | ||
| So Alex knew that this was how things were going to go down. | ||
| And that Thursday morning was going to be the end. | ||
| Right. | ||
| At least he claims. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And he claims that they had a fucking three-hour meeting about this and how on Thursday everyone was going to be all hands on deck because we were going to kick in that second studio that we have. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And this next clip is really funny because Alex is totally not mad at Rob Dew that no one did that. | ||
| Now at least this U.S. trustee is here and I probably should go talk to him right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you planning on doing your show here today? | |
| Well, you know, that was my point. | ||
| A set of chickens with our heads cut off. | ||
| That's why I said all three crews here at, you know, ready to go at 8 a.m. | ||
| So this would go on. | ||
| And so we would have that force. | ||
| We already had this meeting. | ||
| I'm not mad, but I don't know if this will be heard. | ||
| And that's why I needed everybody else over there to show that... | ||
| If we continue on here, we're able to operate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But if we can't, we immediately segue without even a hiccup that our enemies want right over into the transmission with gigantic, ginormous, massive audiences. | ||
| We'll have 100 million people watching by tonight. | ||
| Millions are already watching. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So, this crew stays here. | ||
| Everyone else who was already supposed to be there, I'm not mad, but we had the meeting for three hours. | ||
| Gets over there and gets that fired up and ready in case, and I'm there at now, potentially. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So we wargamed it. | ||
| That's why we had a wargame. | ||
| I love it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Love everybody. | ||
| Love everybody. | ||
| I don't know if he physically understands this concept. | ||
| They do not work for him anymore. | ||
| Well, Rob Dew does. | ||
| Well, I guess Rob... | ||
| Alex has said under oath that he doesn't. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But Rob Dew, you know, there are people... | ||
| I feel like in fantasy stories, like if you save, I don't know, some sort of a wood creature. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure, sure. | ||
| They'll owe you their, oh, Jar Jar Binks! | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Owes a life debt. | ||
| Dew is a Binks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| Okay, alright, I gotcha. | ||
| He doesn't work for Alex, but he owes Alex his life in some way. | ||
| Alex saved him from something. | ||
| I gotcha. | ||
| And so he works for him for life. | ||
| Ooh, is he gonna be a senator someday then? | ||
| Uh, do? | ||
| Yeah, that's how Binks went. | ||
| I wouldn't count on it. | ||
| Oh boy, this is trouble. | ||
| You know, I do think that in the same way that Jar Jar Binks and his foolishness gave way to the rise of the Empire. | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe Rob Du has a spiritual similarity there. | |
| You know what? | ||
| You might be right. | ||
| So I just, I like moments like that. | ||
| It's always fun when Alex is not mad. | ||
| Not mad at all. | ||
| Not mad at all. | ||
| I just don't know why everybody who isn't going to get paid after the end of this week didn't show up and do whatever I told them to do. | ||
| And I do think that there's something that's very telling about that. | ||
| And that is that they had a three-hour meeting about this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And no one did it. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| No one believed Alex. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| If they had this meeting and Alex was like, this is exactly what they're going to do. | ||
| I know their moves. | ||
| No one did it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So maybe Alex says we're going to be shut down on Thursday every week. | ||
| I mean, if it was a three-hour meeting. | ||
| And you knew they were getting shut down. | ||
| I would be like, I mean, they must be hourly. | ||
| Because I'm not being there for the whole three hours. | ||
| Man. | ||
| I don't need that. | ||
| I would give so much for that meeting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I would like a recording of that meeting. | ||
| Yeah, 100%. | ||
| If it went three hours, I just can't even imagine. | ||
| I want the minutes! | ||
| I want it all. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, I want to see what wild ass shit Daria said. | ||
| It's funny you should bring her up. | ||
| Oh, shit. | ||
| Because she's about to make a guest appearance. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| She comes in after Rob Do has been scolded and told to get the other studio up and running dick. | ||
| Daria comes in to tell Alex that the websites are going down. | ||
| Guys, call Steve Bannon for me. | ||
| I want to get him on right now. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| All right, all right, all right. | ||
| Come on in here and tell me. | ||
| You don't have to be on. | ||
| Just put a mic over there. | ||
| You don't have to be on TV. | ||
| One of the producers. | ||
| Come here. | ||
| Come in here. | ||
| Just put the microphone on this table. | ||
| You can talk over there from the corner. | ||
| It's okay. | ||
| We're going to do it here. | ||
| They won't put you on screen if you don't be on TV. | ||
| Okay, so go ahead. | ||
| You're not going to be on TV, Doria. | ||
| Go ahead and tell people what's going on. | ||
| Yeah, so we just got word that they're working right now and shutting down InfoWars.com and Bandai. | ||
| What specifically were you told? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so they're working on shutting it down momentarily so it can happen at any moment right now. | |
| So, folks, yeah, go there if you want to download it. | ||
| Who specifically told you that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got word from Blake, and he got word from the people who are doing it. | |
| Well, I mean, I knew that. | ||
| It'll be the IT people that run our IT that are getting a call from them. | ||
| We need to get on the phone with Daniel right now and say, Daniel, there's no court order. | ||
| In fact, I'm going to do this right now because I'm going to go over there. | ||
| And I'm going to nicely and friendly say that, oh, well, the last time the U.S. trustee tried this, the judge fired him. | ||
| You claim you have the authority. | ||
| Maybe you do. | ||
| It's going to be for a court hearing. | ||
| So I believe you should not be calling up the Internet service providers and telling them to shut us off. | ||
| Oh, you're going to go very nicely tell somebody this. | ||
| I believe that. | ||
| I think Daria Alex must have saved her life, too. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's the only thing that makes sense. | ||
| Yeah, she's not going anywhere. | ||
| She's got strong, like, Indiana Jones short-round vibes. | ||
| Like, something happened there, because you should not be hanging around anymore. | ||
| Yeah, there's a time to... | ||
| She has the good sense to be like, I don't want to be on camera. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| That's a good instinct, but not the good instinct to just get out. | ||
| If I was just listening to that going like, oh man, if I was Blake in IT, I'd be like, do not put my... | ||
| I'm going to need to look for a new job and somebody's now looking for Blakes in IT and I don't want any part of that. | ||
| No, the joke is his name is like Ian. | ||
| He gave him a fake name. | ||
| Yeah, that would be smart. | ||
| That's the smart way to go. | ||
| So, Alex, you heard in that last clip, he's like, I want to fucking talk to Bannon. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I got to get Steve Bannon in here. | ||
| He'll solve this problem. | ||
| So he calls up Bannon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Who ends up being the last guest ever on InfoWars. | ||
| All right. | ||
| But also, Alex calls him on his personal phone and doesn't tell him immediately that he's on air. | ||
| That's a good way to go out. | ||
| I'd like to try to get him on. | ||
| He might even be on air right now, but let me see if he answers. | ||
| Also, call Roger Stone. | ||
| We should get him on. | ||
| Here at the last transmission. | ||
| So, that's what I said 40-something minutes ago. | ||
| I said, you know, they'll start pulling the plug. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dude, what the fuck is the story here? | |
| Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Steve. | ||
| I'm live. | ||
| Can I please have them call your Skype right now and get you on? | ||
| They're pulling the plug right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What the fuck? | |
| What are we calling? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's my producer right now. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Guys, play Infowars Lives Forever while I figure this out. | ||
| Go to a clip. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here we go. | |
| Hey, what the fuck, Alex? | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| That's nice. | ||
| That's a great way to go. | ||
| Well, I think there's a very heartening thing there, and that is that Bannon will answer Alex's calls. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| So, hey, good on them. | ||
| I mean, you know, it's kind of the day, though. | ||
| You know what the fuck is the story? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That could have gone a number of directions. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| If Alex hadn't have yelled, I'm on air. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| What the fuck is this story? | ||
| Sounds very frustrated in a way that suggests he thought things would go differently. | ||
| Yeah, maybe. | ||
| It's hard to read. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| It probably is like, hey, how are you doing? | ||
| What's going on with this? | ||
| This is crazy times. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| But who knows? | ||
| We'll never know. | ||
| What Bannon's real reaction was. | ||
| Yeah, that would be nice. | ||
| So I was surprised, because Alex gets Bannon on the phone. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he gets him on guest style. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| And proceeds to rant at him for five minutes straight. | ||
| That's a great idea! | ||
| And there was a part of me that was like, I'm just going to play all this rant, because it will never end. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I sat there, and I was like... | ||
| Shut the fuck up. | ||
| You have Steve Bannon on the other end of this phone. | ||
| This is rude. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Shut up. | ||
| It is rude. | ||
| But I decided I'd only play a part of it. | ||
| They filed months ago in federal court to own the name Alex Jones if they were able to buy it. | ||
| They tried to get it that day with the judge. | ||
| Real quick, this is like three minutes into what is supposed to be an introduction for Steve Bannon. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| They actually filed in federal court the U.S. trustee with the Democratic Party. | ||
| Law firms, they said, quote, the 13th Amendment against Indigenous servitude and slavery does not apply to Mr. Jones. | ||
| It applies even more to public figures. | ||
| They said they own my likeness. | ||
| I did not sign a 360 record deal like Prince did with Sony where they did own his name. | ||
| You can contract away your rights, but I never did. | ||
| It's absolutely an affront, 100% ridiculous. | ||
| It's a giant power grab. | ||
| The judge shut that down and said, no, I'm not giving you his name and stuff. | ||
| And real Alex Jones on X, that's his private account. | ||
| And the judge stopped that. | ||
| But they wanted that in the takeover that just happened. | ||
| They said, because their mission is to shut us down, to silence us. | ||
| I have a short compilation if we have time. | ||
| It's three minutes long of them saying that in Connecticut and Texas in the rigged court cases where I was found guilty by judges in default. | ||
| And they had show trials literally scripted and run by HBO with scripts in the judge's hands. | ||
| And I went there to expose it with show trials, didn't realize it was a complete show trial, the likes of which have never been seen in the world, to my knowledge, where it's actually an HBO production run by HBO. | ||
| They have bitten off way more than they can chew. | ||
| This is so incredibly historic. | ||
| The Streisand effect is in maximum effect. | ||
| And we are victorious. | ||
| We have forced their hand to do this absolutely insane ham-fisted maneuver. | ||
| But yes, it's being confirmed now that That they're going to cut the power. | ||
| So that's where we are any minute. | ||
| The power will be cut off. | ||
| There's a few little surprises there, but I'm going to just stop right there. | ||
| Because we've been anticipating this because we're not naive. | ||
| We know the enemy we're up against. | ||
| We're not stupid. | ||
| Did you booby trap the fuse box? | ||
| Is there an IED? | ||
| I would honestly... | ||
| I would be a little disappointed if there were no booby traps. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Maybe not lethal ones. | ||
| I don't want any lethal booby traps, but I feel like there should be... | ||
| You should be... | ||
| Have a little fun with it. | ||
| Your fucking info war. | ||
| Yeah, exactly! | ||
| Have at least one, like, false tile that leads to, like, a big hand flying down and slapping somebody in the face. | ||
| That'd be great. | ||
| Yeah, or, like, you open the fuse box, and if you don't do it right... | ||
| The floor falls out. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Like, you don't fall into a pit, but maybe, like, a slide. | ||
| That'd be great. | ||
| That goes into a little pool, or maybe you don't want to get people wet. | ||
| I would even accept, like, a foam ball pit. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| I would even go with, like, you do it wrong and do the wrong sequence, and it starts a little timer, and then it goes down to zero, and then, like, a little flag says bang. | ||
| That would be great. | ||
| That would be all right. | ||
| Here's why I don't like that. | ||
| You don't like the cartoonish element of it? | ||
| No. | ||
| It's because the timer, you could run away. | ||
| The payoff is not guaranteed of the bang flag. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| You're imagining that they're going to sit there and try and defuse this as opposed to just running away. | ||
| You'd have to trap them somehow if you want the bang flag to really pay off. | ||
| If the floor drops... | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| We do the floor and then we combine the two of them. | ||
| You could do that. | ||
| The floor dropping, it forces them into a new reality. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whereas... | |
| We really need to get into the minutia of booby-trapping. | ||
| Well, look, the alternative is recognizing Alex just will not shut the fuck up. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| I hate to be... | ||
| How can I be in a position where I'm like, let Bannon speak? | ||
| I think it is just a testament to the type of day it is that we are... | ||
| How many years into this? | ||
| Almost a thousand episodes into this, and I think this might be the first time where I've truly felt you going like, I want to cut you off. | ||
| Yeah, just shut up. | ||
| To shut you up, sir. | ||
| I feel it very strongly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Especially just because it's like, this is your Alamo, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is it. | |
| This is just not how you want to go. | ||
| This is your Colonel Travis fantasy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And what are you doing? | ||
| You're rambling at Bannon about nonsense. | ||
| You're blowing it. | ||
| You're blowing it. | ||
| But he's trying to heighten things. | ||
| They're going to turn off the power any minute. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Which no one has asked him to get off air yet, apparently. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So he's got to make this interesting somehow. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| So now they're going to turn off the power. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And he's like, hey, Bannon, should I make them turn off the power? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or should I get out of here? | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Dumb question. | ||
| I want to get back to us, and I don't know how much time you have, but I wanted to get your take on this, what you think I should do. | ||
| Should I let them buffalo and bluff me out of the building? | ||
| Or just force them to cut the power? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, absolutely. | |
| No, force them to cut the power. | ||
| Alex Jones, the only way Alex Jones and InfraWars can leave the air is in a dramatic Gatadamaran, right? | ||
| Make them cut it. | ||
| Make them force them. | ||
| Let's get the camera on them and go in there and see what... | ||
| These guys are all tough guys when... | ||
| They don't have cameras in their faces. | ||
| Steve is really cutting to the heart of the matter here. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nothing short of Alex leaving the studio in a body bag is going to be satisfying for the storyline that he's built up. | |
| If he leaves without the power being cut or some kind of really dramatic blow-up ending, it's going to be dull. | ||
| Alex's enemies are supposed to be demons who are frothing at the mouth and eager to destroy him. | ||
| So it feels kind of stupid if they're just like... | ||
| Oh, yeah, take your time, finish up your show. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Alex is on air at InfoWars for another hour after this point before he makes the decision to bail to his backup studio, presumably because Rob Doe had gotten the crew together over there by that point and they were ready to go. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| Bannon is right, though. | ||
| Alex needs to force them to shut the power and carry him out of there because that's the only ending that's gratifying and satisfying for Alex's... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Persona. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And sadly, it does not end up that way, and it's pretty anticlimactic. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, in Airheads, they play their final concert in prison, you know, and everybody loves it because they've gone through the other side. | ||
| They didn't, like, just go home. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| That would suck. | ||
| That would be a terrible movie. | ||
| Well, what if they had somebody boot up another studio for them to run away to? | ||
| I mean, I guess that would be a sequel, which would make it a terrible movie. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think the climax of the movie works if no one cares that they're at the radio station. | ||
| That's the thing. | ||
| Somebody has to give a shit. | ||
| Otherwise, you're just in an abandoned building. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You're just alone in an abandoned building. | ||
| So Bannon, you know, he comes from film. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| He's a movie producer. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| In the day, you know? | ||
| And so he's trying to produce a movie here. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He's telling Alex, you gotta make them turn off the power. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| You're Alex fucking Jones. | ||
| Do you understand your character? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| So he's also like, alright. | ||
| You got the globalists in your... | ||
| The stormtroopers in the Empire is inside the base. | ||
| Oh, I shouldn't have called Steve Bannon. | ||
| Go and tape them, you asshole! | ||
| They're not actually... | ||
| Get in their face! | ||
| I understand Bannon, but I think that's actually probably a legally questionable thing to do. | ||
| Well, it doesn't stop Bannon from insisting that's what he needs to do. | ||
| And Alex very gently dodges having to follow through with that. | ||
| I imagine so. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so let's force him to shut it down. | |
| Force them to pull the frickin' plug on it and pull the frickin' plug on global TV. | ||
| The only way this is gonna stop is when you stop it. | ||
| You're not gonna stop it by being nice. | ||
| You're not gonna stop it by just rolling over. | ||
| The only way it's gonna stop is you must stop it. | ||
| And you can stop it right now. | ||
| Have your team walk in there and say, pull the frickin' plug. | ||
| We're going to be on national. | ||
| The last photo you show is those guys pulling the plug on Infowars and Alex Jones. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let the whole world see it, sir. | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| We just got another 100,000 followers at Real Alex Jones in the last 20 minutes. | ||
| Everybody needs to follow us at Real Alex Jones. | ||
| And at the backup, they're trying to take that at AJN Live. | ||
| Seems to be clear where his focus is. | ||
| So he doesn't go and confront these people and get a camera in their face. | ||
| And then, conveniently, they leave. | ||
| So they're gone. | ||
| So he can't even go and get a camera. | ||
| It's not that he's not going to do it. | ||
| They've just left. | ||
| But then maybe they are coming back at some point. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's a convoluted mess. | ||
| But Alex, he has his time with Bannon. | ||
| And I think, you know, fuck Steve Bannon. | ||
| He sucks. | ||
| I disagree with him about a great deal. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But I do agree with him on one thing, and that is his take is correct, that Alex needs to have a blow-up. | ||
| Yeah, movie producing is a lot easier than politics. | ||
| There needs to be something exciting here. | ||
| Alex Jones does not go off the air walking out of the studio. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And unfortunately... | ||
| Yeah, I mean, he's going to go off the air walking out of the studio, because it's not a thing. | ||
| It's not a real... | ||
| They let it go until it became the pretend world, and now we're... | ||
| Okay, at the end of a basketball game, like a professional basketball game, whenever the buzzer goes off and the lights go out, people start to leave. | ||
| It doesn't matter... | ||
| If you're still arguing, even if you're right, the game's over. | ||
| They'll talk about it tomorrow. | ||
| They'll figure it out tomorrow because the game's over, man. | ||
| The time to argue a call happened way back when. | ||
| Everybody's home. | ||
| It's over. | ||
| Yeah, you think that you have some kind of a technicality that's going to get you another free throw or whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, lights are off. | |
| Everyone just doesn't give a shit, dude. | ||
| Nope, too late. | ||
| Lights are off. | ||
| So Alex does, I guess, try to go negotiate a free throw or something, because he goes off the air for a bit, and Harrison and Owen take over, and Harrison complains that the people who are taking them out are not jackbootish enough. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fair! | |
| It's one of those things where it's like, I'd rather be shut down by jackbooted Nazis than this glib, grinning, condescending... | ||
| Petulant people at The Onion. | ||
| They wrote an article where it's like, yes, we're now going to be talking about Bigfoot and UFOs and all of this stuff. | ||
| Nobody who's watched InfoWars in the past eight years really cares or comes here to hear about UFOs or Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster. | ||
| I mean, these people are living in some sort of deluded fantasy. | ||
| See, that's funny because Harrison saying that he'd rather be shut down by jackbooted thugs kind of undercuts how Alex and Steve Bannon spent the last half hour role-playing as if they were currently being shut down by jackbooted thugs. | ||
| Kind of accidentally reveals how much of this is just theatrics. | ||
| But more importantly, I don't know if The Onion said they were going to talk about UFOs and Bigfoot, but if they did, then I agree with Harrison that his audience doesn't tune in to hear about silly stuff like that. | ||
| They tune in to hear about demons and how his idiot boss is a psychic. | ||
| That's what they tuned in for. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| You're due to it for the real shit. | ||
| Yeah, that's the problem with it being a wash, you know? | ||
| Harrison, you have nothing to say. | ||
| And you're totally right. | ||
| I would rather... | ||
| No, you're not understanding where you live. | ||
| You live in Infowars. | ||
| If you would rather just act like it's happening. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yeah, I would rather we were being taken out by Jack Booth. | ||
| No, you are being taken out by Jack Booth at the house. | ||
| And everyone else has already been pretending that. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You're missing the script. | ||
| You're way off. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Because... | ||
| That's not happening. | ||
| Yes, of course it's not happening. | ||
| And Harrison, yeah. | ||
| Man, he sucks. | ||
| Yeah, he's a little dweeb. | ||
| So, Alex comes back. | ||
| Honestly, I could not give a single shit about them talking about how great InfoWars is and how this is a victory and all this nonsense. | ||
| Oh, it's a victory now. | ||
| I don't care about Owen and Harrison rationalizing. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Alex comes back towards the end of Harrison's time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Let's say about 10.30 Central. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| It's about a half hour before his show's supposed to start. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| And, you know, he's... | ||
|
unidentified
|
No one's pulled the plug. | |
| And it's a little very... | ||
| Very anticlimactic. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So, this could be the last minute of me on air out of these studios for the last 16 years. | ||
| Or this one. | ||
| In Full Wars for 27 of it on air, 30 and a half years. | ||
| Follow us right here at Real Alex Jones on X at AJN Live. | ||
| Be sure to follow that, the Alex Jones Network. | ||
| I'm going to sign off here. | ||
| I'm not going to give away legal strategy, but what they did, and I've talked to the lawyers and what went on with the so-called auction and the way it was done and the fact that I knew it, they don't even deny it now, a lower bid was allowed to have the assets. | ||
| No amount of money that we would have brought forward with our... | ||
| Folks we're working with would have been there. | ||
| And I told the crew that. | ||
| I told them they would have a shutdown by Thursday morning. | ||
| And so this was expected by me. | ||
| And that's what this is. | ||
| Feels like it. | ||
| It's 1026. | ||
| And I'm about to sign off here. | ||
| We'll run some clips and things to fill up the time here. | ||
| And then in about 20, you know, 33 minutes from now, if you're watching on the streams at Real Alex Jones and the streams at... | ||
| AJN Live, you will see me out of the new studio. | ||
| No one barged in, and there wasn't anything fun that happened. | ||
| No one pulled the plug, and so I'm going to go over to the new studio, and we'll just kill some time with some, I don't know, we'll play some videos over here, and then you can find my show on the other thing, because nothing happened, and this is underwhelming. | ||
| Brutal. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Brutal. | ||
| This is the thing. | ||
| I don't know what it is. | ||
| I guess maybe it's just somewhere in my heart, you know? | ||
| Just the show. | ||
| Just the idea of the show, you know? | ||
| If you're Alex and this is... | ||
| You gotta know that it's not gonna go down like you want it to. | ||
| It's not like they live. | ||
| There's not gonna be... | ||
| There's not going to be jackbooted thugs. | ||
| Well, I think that he thinks his life is a movie, and so he has the scene in mind that he wants from the movie, and reality is not providing that for him. | ||
| Right, but... | ||
| And most of the things in his life that are like a movie are like a movie because, like, he's... | ||
| They're edited together in clip packages. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And stuff like that. | ||
| In the moment, it's not actually like a movie. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| He's rewritten upon himself this history of these things that are like movies happen to me because he's seen movie trailers about himself. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But what you have here is a unique opportunity wherein it is The Onion taking over. | ||
| So you filmed a fake The Onion taking over thing. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's what you do. | ||
| You stage the whole thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, if Alex was smart at all, if he really wanted to do this, it would be so easy to false flag a shutdown pageant or whatever. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| And, like, even if it comes out or immediately comes out that you're faking it. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| It's the onion buying it. | ||
| The onion bought it. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You've won. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You've won by making whatever you want. | ||
| Pull a prank. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| You double win. | ||
| It's almost as good as booby-trapping the thing. | ||
| Honestly, fake your own death. | ||
| Who gives a shit? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Finally, someone understands what's going on in this world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Now, Alex did have an opportunity to pay off his character in a big way. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he just... | ||
| I think he thought someone was going to do it for him, and then nothing happened. | ||
| Yeah, I swear, if we were in that situation, and I had a three-hour meeting, that whole meeting would be like... | ||
| What's our movie going to be? | ||
| It would be a plan of what's the action, what are we doing here? | ||
| Not like, well, when they come for us. | ||
| If they had a three-hour meeting and no one listened, you better believe there's a four-hour meeting coming where I yell at everybody about how you need to respect the three-hour meetings. | ||
| If you don't want five-hour meetings, you better enjoy this four-hour meeting and pay attention during the three-hour meetings. | ||
| Get that damn other studio booted up so I don't have to waste so much time pretending they're about to turn off the electricity. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| So Alex wraps things up, signs off in the only way he really knows how. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's all happening right now. | ||
| History is unfolding, and they wanted me off the air long before the election. | ||
| They tried, they tried, but because you backed us, we stayed on air through seven years of lawfare, almost $80 million they filed in court. | ||
| They've spent trying to shut us up. | ||
| They admit it was never about money. | ||
| I didn't do any of the things they said I did. | ||
| They had judges find me guilty. | ||
| It was all a lie. | ||
| And so we are victorious. | ||
| That's why we're under attack. | ||
| We're truthful. | ||
| We're honorable. | ||
| And our ancestors, I can guarantee you, are proud of us. | ||
| And they're proud of all of you that have supported. | ||
| So to continue on, please support our sponsor, thealexjonesstore.com. | ||
| So to summarize, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah. | ||
| I've been punished for being too good. | ||
| Go to my fake store. | ||
| It should be against the law for him to say our sponsor, themynamestore.com. | ||
| You know what I was thinking about that? | ||
| It shows... | ||
| Fucking desperation. | ||
| Just... | ||
| Like, if you're trying to come up with a business that is not run by you... | ||
| Very easy start. | ||
| Any name works. | ||
| Any name, not your name. | ||
| Now, the only reason you would use that name is if you're keenly aware that the only way you're going to get any attention to this store is by using your name. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And that just, that feels desperate. | ||
| It is the most glaring admission of a lack of substance that you could imagine. | ||
| It's like Trump putting his name on all the buildings. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| But I mean, at the very least, he started from family money. | ||
| Literally, once you take away Alex Jones, you can use all the names that have ever been. | ||
| You could even make up words. | ||
| You could just do that. | ||
| But you can only use your name because you have nothing behind it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All the products are only attractive to anybody because you yell at them about how attractive these products are. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Did anybody give a fuck about sea moss six months ago? | ||
| No. | ||
| And now it's the most important. | ||
| Biggest, most important product. | ||
| Superfood. | ||
| Everyone needs it. | ||
| Everybody's always needed sea moss. | ||
| No one needs bone broth anymore, apparently. | ||
| What was bone broth even for? | ||
| Chaga mushrooms. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's a little bit of a bummer. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But what do you expect? | ||
| You know, it is weird because it's been this combination of a reality TV show better than something I could write. | ||
| That is also written so poorly. | ||
| You know, like every now and again you're like, I could never have even imagined that dream. | ||
| But most of the time you're like, motherfuckers get to work. | ||
| Do a thing. | ||
| This is absurd. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| A lot of the time I think it would be wildly irresponsible for Alex to do a better written reality show. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so I'm glad he doesn't. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But in this case... | ||
| You only get to do this, like, we're going off air thing once. | ||
| I know he's tried to fake it a bunch of times. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| But in terms of this, someone did buy his business. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And, like, there is a kind of a before and after mark of that. | ||
| And he really whiffed on the making this count. | ||
| Treat it a little special! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then he went to the new studio, and I was watching that, and he's just complaining more and retelling the story of... | ||
| The Onion bought this and the auction was rigged. | ||
| Oh, Sandy Hook case was all rigged against me. | ||
| Woe is me. | ||
| Champagne bottle smash on the wall. | ||
| We're christening the new studio. | ||
| We'll never be defeated. | ||
| You can shut one studio down, but that doesn't matter. | ||
| And then you christen another champagne bottle on a wall over there and be like, we'll have studios till the end of time! | ||
| He did flex for a little bit. | ||
| So it's kind of the equivalent. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| But yeah, this is always going to be a bit of a whimper. | ||
| And we'll see what ends up happening. | ||
| As it is, we're recording this on Thursday, the same day that this news came out. | ||
| So a lot of this is still figuring out what the fuck is even going on. | ||
| The dust settling and the feelings around what could happen, what's going to happen. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know either. | ||
| But I'm glad on some level to be on the other side of the election and the auction. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because those were these two headed chaos balls. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And at least now we can see how things are going to land and maybe we can get to a point where Alex will say something interesting other than whining about his own shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know what it feels like? | ||
| It feels like... | ||
| It feels like now it's our turn. | ||
| You know, like we've been playing a game and it's all been everybody else's turn. | ||
| We've just been watching stuff happen and now their turn has ended. | ||
| Now it's our turn. | ||
| I don't know what we're going to do, but it's our turn. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| You know? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like the election, the auction are done. | ||
| Everybody is at the same spot now. | ||
| It feels like we're all in a brand new future. | ||
| Yeah, I guess. | ||
| I don't know what that means, though. | ||
| Me neither. | ||
| I guess we'll all find out. | ||
| I guess we will. | ||
| And we'll be back. | ||
| Indeed we will. | ||
| But until then, we have a website. | ||
| Indeed we do. | ||
| It's knowledgefight.com. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| We'll be back. | ||
| But until then, I'm Neo. | ||
| I'm Leo. | ||
| I'm DZXClark. | ||
| I am the Mysterious Professor. | ||
| Woo! | ||
