Hello, Alex. | |
| I'm a first time caller. | ||
| I'm a huge fan. | ||
| I love your words. | ||
| Knowledge fight. | ||
| Knowledgefight.com. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| We're a couple dudes like to sit around, worship the altar of Selene, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| Oh, indeed we are. | ||

| Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Quick question for you. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| What's your bright spot today, buddy? | ||
| My bright spot is back. | ||
| I'm back. | ||
| We're here. | ||
| We're back. | ||
| We haven't recorded in a while. | ||
| I think it's been two weeks. | ||
| I think it's been the longest we've gone without recording something since we started the show. | ||
| Yeah, it probably has been. | ||
| I think any time we've taken a break over four days, we come back and say, this is the longest time. | ||
| No, even when I've been outside of the country, we've still recorded something. | ||
| Sometimes. | ||
| Way back. | ||
| And I thought about doing... | ||
| At this time, because of some issues we had not being able to get some episodes out. | ||
| Of course! | ||
| Of course, I felt bad about that. | ||
| Of course! | ||
| But I had a lovely trip, and I guess that's my bright spot is a nice time overseas. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| Went over, did some tourist shits. | ||
| Love it. | ||
| In Europe, and I'm going to say this. | ||
| I learned a lesson. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| I learned something about the European mind. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The psyche of the European. | ||
| Of all? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm going to generalize this to all of Europe. | ||
| All Europeans. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| They have an interest in marshmallows that is higher than the United States. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I ran into more marshmallows. | ||
| Per capita. | ||
| With regular frequency there in London than I think I have in my whole life. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, that makes sense. | ||
| So many marshmallows. | ||
| Weird. | ||
| Everywhere. | ||
| Squishy things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| A lot more candies that are not quite gummy, but also not solid. | ||
| Oh, well, I mean, everybody likes texture, but the teeth are worse. | ||
| You see what it is? | ||
| It makes sense. | ||
| They want the crunch. | ||
| They can't... | ||
| Handle the crunch. | ||
| They get as close to approximation of crunch as they can with their gums. | ||
| I think there's something about the cultural tradition of stews and boiling things, too, that leads to a preference for softer things. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| And this is reflected in the marshmallow selection. | ||
| A hatred of flavor. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Mmm, just a feel. | ||
| So I, yeah, I went for a week, and this is what I've learned. | ||
| Yeah, this is the takeaway. | ||
| There's not many times I've left or come to Europe and not come away with, like, food needs to be talked about there. | ||
| We need to have a greater conversation. | ||
| And particularly, I think that we need to all be more aware of the prevalence of marshmallows. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| None of this cocoa shit with the rainbow bags. | ||
| I saw this. | ||
| Okay, I saw a bag of Haribo. | ||
| Haribo marshmallows? | ||
| It just appeared to be marshmallows. | ||
| And so I grabbed the bag. | ||
| I'm like, what's the catch? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No catch. | ||
| Just marshmallows. | ||
| Like actual Haribo makes marshmallows? | ||
| As if you were buying like gummy worms. | ||
| It was just marshmallows. | ||
| You can't. | ||
| They can't do that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Strange. | ||
| That is strange. | ||
| The European mind. | ||
| Unacceptable. | ||
| Absolutely bizarre. | ||
| Yeah, we need to have a conversation. | ||
| So, I'm glad to be back. | ||
| I will... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I ate plenty of marshmallows. | ||
| You had a great time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What's your bright spot? | ||
| My bright spot is... | ||
| I mean, what else is there to say? | ||
| I had a great... | ||
| Time with my families. | ||
| Over the Thanksgiving. | ||
| Over the Thanksgiving. | ||
| The tea day holiday. | ||
| I needed a back-to-back. | ||
| I had a great time with one family. | ||
| Next day, I had a great time with the other family. | ||
| Everything went great. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| It was a great time. | ||
| I'm thrilled for you. | ||
| It's a heavy kind of getting through it of two days back-to-back with families, in-laws, and then your family. | ||
| To be able to both be positive. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| No, couldn't have been better. | ||
| Everybody was happy. | ||
| Babies were happy. | ||
| People were all doing the stuff. | ||
| The babies were happy. | ||
| It just went great. | ||
| That's awesome. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Happy for you, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Happy Thanksgiving. | ||
| Unremarkable. | ||
| That's what's great about it. | ||
| Oh, sure. | ||
| Well, I mean, you know, let's not talk about food. | ||
| What are the sides? | ||
| And, second question, any marshmallows in the mix? | ||
| Like in the Jell-O pudding? | ||
| I think a lot of people put a marshmallow fluff. | ||
| Sometimes. | ||
| I think they'll put a little marshmallow fluff on a pumpkin pie. | ||
| Or on the sweet potatoes or something. | ||
| Nope, none of that. | ||
| I got one family member who's all cool whip all the time. | ||
| The rest of us, not into it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| No, none of this topping your pies. | ||
| Get out of here. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You got a policy. | ||
| That's the way it is. | ||
| So I'm going to give a secondary bright spot real quick. | ||
| I'm listening. | ||
| I have a little bit of an announcement. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And that is, despite... | ||
| All your rage. | ||
| And my insistence that I would not be in a cage. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Nor a rat. | ||
| Number one. | ||
| Number two. | ||
| Nor would we do buttons again. | ||
| Number three. | ||
| Oh, God, you're not doing buttons again. | ||
| Doing buttons again. | ||
| Don't announce it. | ||
| I'm announcing it. | ||
| Keep it inside your brain and then we won't have to... | ||
| Okay. | ||
| They're already on the way. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So we're doing buttons again. | ||
| And so if people would like a button, they can send me an address to kfbuttons69 at gmail.com. | ||
| And that's... | ||
| That's Buttons with an S. KF Buttons. | ||
| We're not radical from the 90s. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Just to be clear about that, because there's some confusion. | ||
| We're not going to put you on any mailing list or anything. | ||
| Just erase your address afterwards. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And here's the real great thing. | ||
| My friend Angela Lampsbury has created a new button design. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That's a lot of fun. | ||
| We'll reveal it eventually. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But I remember how fun it was when there was these special buttons. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The bright spot buttons. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That there were only three or four of, I think. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I decided this time would go a little bigger. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| 200 of these buttons are glow in the dark. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| All right. | ||
| You know, I feel like... | ||
| So, imagine... | ||
| Like, I don't have kids. | ||
| I don't have kids for very good reason, and I'll give you, like, I imagine if you go to the birthing chamber, which is what I call it, and your wife gives birth, and you see the horrible spectacle of pain and blood and misery that it is, and then two months later, she's like, oh, let's have another... | ||
| You feel like maybe you've lost your mind. | ||
| Like maybe you're the person who's crazy. | ||
| I don't know why I bring that up. | ||
| I don't either. | ||
| And it's a mystery. | ||
| But I think that we're coming towards the end of the year. | ||
| We just came off Thanksgiving. | ||
| The ideas of thankfulness and gifts are in the air. | ||
| And so I definitely feel the spirit to... | ||
| Send out some glow-in-the-dark buttons. | ||
| What, am I gonna get in the way of Santa Claus? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
| Certainly not. | ||
| I'm here. | ||
| So, also, another announcement. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| Well, this is... | ||
| Not like a button level announcement. | ||
| We'll be back with a matter of time next week. | ||
| We don't have an episode that's up today. | ||
| Yeah, we don't have an episode this week. | ||
| Because of getting back on the ball and everything. | ||
| So, Jordan, today we have an episode to go over, though. | ||
| We're going to be talking about December 2nd, 2024. | ||
| That was Monday. | ||
| And I decided that in the spirit of actually going on vacation, I was going to check out of Alex. | ||
| I wasn't going to care. | ||
| That was the idea. | ||
| And so, we're here, we're back. | ||
| Let's see if we understand what's going on. | ||
| No idea. | ||
| Is the continuity still there? | ||
| It's been so important to us for the past ten years. | ||
| Oh, I'm going to be so lost. | ||
| Continuity is so... | ||
| Yeah, this is like The Sopranos. | ||
| I don't know what's happened in the last two weeks. | ||
| So we'll find out if we're just completely bewildered. | ||
| Who knows what's going on, yeah. | ||
| But first, let's say hello to some new wonks. | ||
| Ooh, that's a great idea. | ||
| So first, happy belated birthday to William, two in the pink, one in the Winkler. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Next, Andy. | ||
| And Bakersfield kicked out on a two-stair. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Next, helping me sleep for years in Birmingham, England. | ||
| Keep up the good work. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Can't imagine this helping you sleep. | ||
| No idea. | ||
| But we also got a technocrat in the mix, Jordan. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So thank you so much. | ||
| Two, the globalists stole my left testicle to make chimeras, and now I'm a daddy to fish people. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a technocrat. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
|

|
Four stars. | |
| Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant. | ||
| Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop. | ||
| Daddy Shark. | ||
| Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's a loser little titty baby. | |
| I don't want to hate black people. | ||
| I renounce Jesus Christ. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Yes, thank you very much. | ||
| Now, to celebrate being back, I decided that we would not just have one out-of-context drop. | ||
| We would have two. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So here's the first one. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I'm high right now. | ||
| High on life. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Good correction. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Thanks, bud. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And so when you're high on life, you might end up in a position where you say something like this. | ||
| You mean to tell you about one of the snuff films? | ||
| No, man. | ||
| No. | ||
| What? | ||
| What? | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Do you want me to tell you about one of the snuff films? | ||
| There's no situation where you have been annoyed enough even that justifies being like, well, now I'm going to tell you about this snuff film. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You take that shit to your grave with you like a good person. | ||
| I don't think there's any productive conversation that gets done by describing... | ||
| Snuff films that you've seen or heard about. | ||
| Especially not in that spirit. | ||
| You've clearly already been wound up for a while to the point where you're like, alright, well fine then, if everybody wants me to describe this snuff film. | ||
| Are you so bored with me that I must describe a snuff film? | ||
| No, man, no. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| So we start off here, and I was just like, alright, when we left... | ||
| There was obviously the countdown to the minute of the election, and then the election happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And now we're doing another countdown to the inauguration. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| 48 days. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ugh. | |
| 23 hours. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ah. | |
| 59 minutes, 16 seconds. | ||
| Until President Trump is inaugurated. | ||
| As the 47th President of the United States of America, it is Monday. | ||
| December 2nd, 2024. | ||
| I am your embattled, battle-hardened host. | ||
| After 30-plus years in the trenches, we see globally the tide has completely turned. | ||
| The New World Order transhumanist death cult is on its heels, and humanity is rising. | ||
| Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I am loaded for bear. | ||
| Yeah, that's very exciting that he's loaded for bear. | ||
| We're going to have a big show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Look, I get that Alex is excited about Trump coming back to office, but this feels pretty embarrassing. | ||
| I did not miss a lot of these tones. | ||
| No. | ||
| That's for sure. | ||
| No. | ||
| Remove all the context from this about who you wanted to win the election, and just imagine someone acting this way. | ||
| If some pundit on the left were opening their show with an overly theatrical countdown to when Harris was going to be sworn in, I think I would feel the same way about it. | ||
| Like, it reeks of unseriousness, and it makes me suspect there isn't a lot of depth to what we're gonna cover. | ||
| Maybe you're not loaded for bear? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| There's a vibe of being addicted to a ticking clock, which doesn't usually go hand-in-hand with substance. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that was something that I was kind of hit across the face with. | ||
| Like a dueling glove when I came back. | ||
| What's the next countdown gonna be? | ||
| Just four years? | ||
| I'll take the final countdown. | ||
| God, I would give anything for any of these countdowns to be final. | ||
| I'm sure Alex comes in from break at some point with the final countdown. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, man. | |
| No, I know, but I mean, like, if we just find... | ||
| Listen, I get it. | ||
| Everybody's like, I want to live, but the end of the world is preferable for me at this point. | ||
| Well, I mean, the final countdown isn't about the end of the world. | ||
| It's we're heading for Venus. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| So if Elon Musk gets his way, maybe we will have the final countdown. | ||
| I just wish anybody had the courage to just... | ||
| Cram them in one of those spaceships. | ||
| Bunch of idiots. | ||
| So Trump has made some plans. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| He's made some announcements. | ||
| And one of them is that he's going to prosecute human traffickers. | ||
| All right. | ||
| And Alex is excited. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Now let's put up on screen the live show Feeds from X so everybody can see the headline and so everybody can share it if you want to continue to win against the tyrants. | ||
| Massive bombshell developments. | ||
| Trump pledges to prosecute Biden administration, UN NGOs, for human trafficking and sex slavery. | ||
| Deep State now in total panic. | ||
| Must watch share live feed of this transmission. | ||
| 100% Trump's for real. | ||
| 100% it's going down. | ||
| When you've studied history, there are these moments, these great turnings, and it looks like evil is invincible. | ||
| It's dancing on humanity's grave. | ||
| It's committing mass crimes out in the open. | ||
| The arrogance flows. | ||
| The self-satisfied smirks gleam until it all starts disintegrating like... | ||
| Vampires in the midday sun. | ||
| And we are now at that beginning of the climax. | ||
| And it is a very dangerous moment as well because the future projection of humanity's destiny in the next thousand years is now laying out before us. | ||
| What a time to be alive, my friends. | ||
| Really killing time here. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Really feels like he's trying to stretch. | ||
| Are we making fun of Trump or are we pro? | ||
| He's for real. | ||
| Right, but I mean, if you're the one doing the silly voice for what you're supposed to believe is the... | ||
| I don't think he thinks it's silly. | ||
| I mean, no, but I think he thinks it's dramatic. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| It is, because it almost sounded like he was drifting into the Crypt Keeper for a little bit. | ||
| I mean, it's nuts! | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That is not how, like, yeah, you can't imagine Patton giving the fucking speech. | ||
| Nobody's doing St. Crispin's Day like, hey, you won't die in your bed. | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| All we have to fear is fear itself. | ||
| Yeah, right? | ||
| Like, what do we do? | ||
| The Mad Hatter has become the president. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think that some of those historic speeches would have been... | ||
| Less inspiring. | ||
| Yeah, it would have been a little bit different. | ||
| I really get the sense that I don't think that he thinks it's silly. | ||
| It is very silly. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| And it comes off a bit embarrassing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| But more than that, there's nothing happening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| He's just saying shit. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| So, to the extent that Trump would actually arrest human traffickers, that's a good thing and an appropriate function of our government. | ||
| I have no qualms with taking human trafficking seriously. | ||
| My problem is that folks like Alex and Trump don't actually care about human trafficking. | ||
| It's just a proxy that they use to make their attacks on other groups look defensible. | ||
| Human trafficking isn't a serious issue for Alex. | ||
| It's an emotional cudgel and shield. | ||
| We can all agree that human trafficking is bad because it involves trafficking humans. | ||
| You aren't going to find somebody who's willing to get up and sincerely argue that human trafficking is good and fine. | ||
| So when you label all kinds of things that you don't like as human trafficking, you're attempting to For instance, if Alex presents the idea that all or most immigration is human trafficking, then what he's doing is trying to force you to defend human trafficking if you want to defend immigration. | ||
| This is all just a game to him because he doesn't give a shit about the underlying issues that he covers, just how the feelings around those subjects can be used to create the world he wants to live in, which is one where he feels that society is built around his desires and preferences, which he believes is his birthright as a straight white Christian. | ||
| There you go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nailed it. | |
| If you traffic humans, you should be arrested. | ||
| I don't think anyone disagrees with that. | ||
| It's just that it's not a sincere belief, and that's not what they're talking about. | ||
| Well, I mean, you should be able to tell that from the voice we're using, right? | ||
| Yeah, you take it seriously. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Who is this, Long Legs? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| All right. | ||
| So Alex gets into some of Trump's picks. | ||
| For the offices. | ||
| Some of these noms. | ||
| I can't believe people care. | ||
| I can't believe this is happening. | ||
| Oh, all the big new administration officials are announcing that indeed they're going to be prosecuting not just the low-level human smugglers, but the NGOs, the non-profits, the for-profits, and the Biden administration officials. | ||
| Like... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alejandro Mayorkas and others. | |
| But in response, they're all scrambling around asking for blanket, total, open-ended pardons like Hunter Biden just got. | ||
| Oh, there's so much to cover today. | ||
| So we'll get into what the actual officials in question are when Alex covers this, but it's been a while since we did an episode, so I wanted to touch back on the subject of Trump's administration picks and how bad they are. | ||
| Even Alex should be against a fair number of them. | ||
| There were a few that were announced before we went on break, like Matt Gates as the Attorney General. | ||
| Alex should have been opposed to that given the credible accusations of sex crimes against him, but Alex's concern about those issues isn't sincere, so he was all for Gates. | ||
| Then Gates dropped out after it was becoming clear that he was in some deep shit, and he was replaced by former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. | ||
| Alex has liked her enough in the past, so that's not a huge issue for him. | ||
| Trump chose Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, which Alex should be fucking furious about. | ||
| In the past, Rubio has consistently been characterized as an anti-gun, open-borders globalist, so Trump picking him should be a huge red flag, particularly for that important of a role. | ||
| Then there's Pete Hegseth at the Department of Defense. | ||
| Hegseth has been a Fox News host for the last decade, but before that he ran a group called Vets for Freedom. | ||
| That was a group with ties to noted arch-globalist Bill Kristol, but for the most part Hegseth is the kind of character that Alex likes, so that association isn't important. | ||
| Also not important are the credible accusations of sex crimes against Hegseth and the letter his mother wrote him about how he was a piece of shit. | ||
| But he's been a Trump fan, Fox News host for 10 years, so put him in charge of the military, I guess. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| And then we have some entirely insane picks that Alex would be fine with but are completely unacceptable, like Dr. Oz being chosen to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or RFK Jr. being chosen as the Secretary of Health and Human Services. | ||
| And you have Elon and Vivek heading the new meme bait organization called the Department for Government Efficiency, which is a thinly veiled propaganda mouthpiece to enable vast privatization of government functions. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard was chosen as the director of national intelligence, which is a bad pick because she sucks generally, but is a serious issue because in the past she's amplified deceptive anti-Ukraine narratives and has been very friendly with Syrian President Assad, going so far as to not take formal procedures to set up a meeting with him in 2017, a time when she was in Congress. | ||
| Beyond that, she has close ties with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Hindu nationalist movement that his government is a part of. | ||
| She's a horrible pick, but Alex loves her, so he should be cool with it. | ||
| Susie Wiles was chosen as the Chief of Staff, which is great for Alex because she's an old-time Roger Stone associate. | ||
| No problems there. | ||
| The same is kind of true of a lot of these other picks, like Elise Stefanik for UN Ambassador, Tom Holman for Border Czar, and Kristi Noem for Homeland Security. | ||
| One that he should be a little concerned about, maybe, is Linda McMahon, wife of deeply disgraced former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, being chosen for Secretary of Education. | ||
| Her husband is an almost comically disgusting criminal, and she's alleged to have been complicit in a number of his schemes, including the steroids controversy of the late 80s. | ||
| A lot of these issues can be better covered elsewhere, but if you're a McMahon, I think you're unqualified to be anywhere near a seat of power. | ||
| Putting Linda McMahon in charge of the Department of Education is essentially a parody of government, but she's a Trump fan, so Alex doesn't have a problem. | ||
| And then there's Kash Patel being nominated for FBI director. | ||
| He's a Q-leaning weirdo, but he's a Trump supporter, and he's a right-wing ding-dong, so that's cool. | ||
| You look really mad. | ||
| Oh no, I just don't understand why people care. | ||
| I'm blown away by, like, it just, it makes me crazy, right? | ||
| Like, fine, a few weeks ago, we're electing Hitler, so we've elected Hitler. | ||
| I find it baffling that all of people give a shit. | ||
| Fucking who cares if it's Himmler or some other asshole? | ||
| You elected Hitler. | ||
| If you care, you're insane. | ||
| These people are insane. | ||
| Fuck! | ||
| Fuck the FBI fucking director. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I hope the one now gets hit by a truck. | |
| What is wrong with all of you? | ||
| I guess. | ||
| You're all insane. | ||
| I guess there's still a surprise to it. | ||
| Why? | ||
| I guess. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Well, here's what I would say. | ||
| I think that on some level, I get where you're coming from. | ||
| You absolutely cannot. | ||
| Well, no, but I get the overall idea of what you're saying. | ||
| You elected this guy, so why are you surprised that he's putting in power people who are just as bad? | ||
| No, I'm asking you why you care. | ||
| I don't understand why all these people care. | ||
| I think that some of the people are... | ||
| Even weird picks for an imagined dictator? | ||
| That's even crazier to me. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That is even crazier to me that you would care about that. | ||
| That boggles my mind. | ||
| So it would be more fine of Hitler to have somebody reasonable? | ||
| I'm not saying fine. | ||
| What is everybody talking about? | ||
| I'm not saying fine. | ||
| I'm saying it's surprising that he would choose Dr. Oz. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because it doesn't seem like Dr. Oz would be efficient at whatever the job is, even if the job is destroying these agencies from within. | ||
| Why would anybody do the job? | ||
| I find it crazy if you work at the Human Health Services to continue working there. | ||
| That's nuts! | ||
| Um, I think... | ||
| I think there's a high calling that a lot of people who get into public service have. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But you realize you're only going to be doing the bidding of Hitler. | ||
| I think that maybe some people hope that by not abandoning their post, they're able to maintain something. | ||
| Now, I don't know if that's correct or misguided, but I think that's part of why someone wouldn't quit. | ||
| Right, so... | ||
| Rather than let Hitler not do things, you would want to do things for Hitler. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| I guess this makes sense to everybody. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| I've just let it go. | ||
| The idea that you would care about the FBI director is insane to me. | ||
| Yeah, and then I guess there's Jared Kushner's dad's ambassador or something. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| Jared Kushner's dad? | ||
| Yeah, he's an ambassador to France. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| So for what it's worth, though, like, fuck Biden for pardoning Hunter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| I'll say that. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I may not necessarily believe that the crimes that Hunter committed require him to go to jail or whatever. | ||
| You know, I don't really love the idea of people going to jail, but, you know, it's what he was sentenced to. | ||
| Biden had a conflict of interest here, and he'd already promised not to pardon his son. | ||
| If you want to pretend to stand for principles and shit, you can't do stuff like that. | ||
| If we live in a smoke-em-if-you-got-em kind of world, then I guess it is what it is, but it values me. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Pardoning Kushner. | ||
| Because he did. | ||
| In 2020, he pardoned Kushner's dad for these crimes. | ||
| That's bullshit. | ||
| And pardoning your son if you're Biden is bullshit, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Yeah, I mean, you know, appointing your brother to be the Attorney General's bullshit at the same time. | ||
| You know, like, American politics is what it is. | ||
| People are going to do shit with their family. | ||
| Nepotism is the way it works. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I mean, hey, listen. | ||
| He's 800 years old. | ||
| What, are you going to hound him after he's dead? | ||
| Being like, ah, you shouldn't have pardoned your 70-year-old son? | ||
| He's going to be dead soon, too. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| We got 40 years max. | ||
| And I think that the argument could be, which I'm willing to hear, I just don't know if I care about it. | ||
| I think it might be dangerous if he doesn't have a pardon. | ||
| Sure! | ||
| The ways that the justice system could be abused against Hunter, I think maybe if you're his dad, you might want to be like, I'm going to bend the rules for you because otherwise you're fucked. | ||
| I'm going to give you the Navalny treatment. | ||
| I kind of get that a little bit. | ||
| I still don't really think it matters in the way that, you know... | ||
| Biden and Democratic Party was trying to present the ideas about accountability. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| The fact that Biden multiple times said he wasn't going to pardon his son. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| I think that you can't really square both of those things together. | ||
| Hey, I get it. | ||
| But, fuck it. | ||
| Navalny went back to prison. | ||
| Now, in retrospect, maybe he shouldn't have gone back. | ||
| Just throwing that out there. | ||
| Maybe we should pardon Hunter. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| So, Alex has a lot to cover on this show. | ||
| You said he was loaded for bear. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And he complains about that a little bit. | ||
| Yesterday, I got particularly prepared for the show. | ||
| I mean, I probably prepared six, seven hours yesterday. | ||
| And then I did an hour on the biggest news. | ||
| And then I just, I hit a wall. | ||
| And this doesn't happen very often. | ||
| Where I've done so much preparation. | ||
| And it would take probably five hours to cover it all that I just, every once in a while, I just go like Robbie the Robot when he has too much information. | ||
| Cannot compute, cannot compute, smoke coming out of my ears. | ||
| But I'm refocused, prepared. | ||
| I don't just have all the other news I didn't get to yesterday that I prepared for. | ||
| I prepared a lot for all this other stuff. | ||
| So I've cleared the deck of guests. | ||
| I may take calls, but it won't be to the third or fourth hour. | ||
| Because I need to cover all of this. | ||
| And again, the problem is each article I can do an hour on easily. | ||
| Because it's full depth understanding of something that really gives us victory. | ||
| I mean, like this story I've had since Friday that I meant to cover. | ||
| And it didn't cover Friday, didn't cover Saturday, didn't cover Sunday. | ||
| It's so spectacular. | ||
| The U.S. government came out and admitted basically to all their weather control. | ||
| Basically? | ||
| Basically all their weather control. | ||
| But we're creating a new weather control bureau like a bunch of other countries have. | ||
| I'm sorry? | ||
| To stop other countries from attacking us with it and keeping other people from being able to do it individually or through a business, a corporation. | ||
| And, I mean, you talk about a deep dive. | ||
| I mean, this is... | ||
| Beyond geoengineering, beyond terraforming, beyond just what's going on there and how massive that is, the fact that they're coming out with it, why is that? | ||
| And then this story feeds into everything else. | ||
| Ah. | ||
| So, yeah. | ||
| Alex is trying to express that he has too deep of an understanding of the news to cover it in a way that your idiot brain could grasp without taking five hours. | ||
| It would take forever. | ||
| It's too long. | ||
| He wants to sound wise and enlightened, but if you have any experience watching his show critically, all he's saying is that he can't focus. | ||
| For example, he wants to talk about this story where the U.S. government had admitted that they have weather weapons, but on Infowars, that's not news. | ||
| In any other context, a person could cover that story as a big deal, but for Alex, he's reported that the U.S. government admitted to having weather weapons like a thousand times in the past, so this has no impact. | ||
| So what if the government admitted to having weather weapons again? | ||
| Because he's already pretended to cover this story, he instinctually knows that he needs an angle on it, which is where all this dancing is coming from. | ||
| He tries to connect every possible dot he has in his head because he wants to distract the audience from realizing there's no substance to any of this. | ||
| And he's already reported this story a bunch of times in the past, and he's never proven shit. | ||
| In an effort to create the illusion of having too much to say about a subject, Alex Free associates whatever he can think of that sort of connects. | ||
| Like, in this case, maybe it's not a story about the government admitting to what it's like. | ||
| Maybe it's about why they're admitting this now. | ||
| What are they covering up? | ||
| Right. | ||
| You don't need any actual information to do coverage like this, and you don't even really need to read the articles you're covering. | ||
| Alex's real skill is in that ability to free associate stuff that kind of sounds like he knows what he's talking about if you only pay half attention. | ||
| So he can basically do this shit in his sleep. | ||
| The problem is that even a master of this game can't hit every time when he gets up to bat. | ||
| Sometimes he's just not feeling it or the riff doesn't come together properly in his head. | ||
| In those cases, Alex can pretend to be overwhelmed by how much information he has in his head and have a meta blow up about how he's too smart and informed like he must have. | ||
| I wonder what that actual underlying story is about a weather agency. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| I wonder what it is. | ||
| I guess we'll find out when he covers it. | ||
| I just like the idea of elevating everything to mutually assured destruction. | ||
| Tornadoes. | ||
| Like, does it matter what it is? | ||
| Somebody else is working on it. | ||
| Oh, we've got a new way to dredge rivers. | ||
| Yeah, the Russians are working on it. | ||
| If they do it faster than us, everybody dies. | ||
| Everything is that. | ||
| I mean, weather weapons is pretty good, but can you imagine a weather weapon fight? | ||
| What does that even look like? | ||
| Well, there was this level in Mega Man. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Where one of the robot masters could throw tornadoes at you. | ||
| Wind Man, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| There was another guy who had leaves. | ||
| Okay, okay. | ||
| So we're talking about weather weapons, meaning people can carry and hold weather. | ||
| I mean, I think it could. | ||
| Because I was thinking more like, oh, we can make a hurricane and start over anywhere. | ||
| It could be that, too. | ||
| I like yours, though. | ||
| I like a suit. | ||
| I want a suit with weather powers. | ||
| It's more... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In terms of, like, if it is just, we'll create all kinds of crazy weather over you, everyone's gonna be screwed really fast. | ||
| Yeah, it sucks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's so fun. | |
| If you have fun suits, then there's a... | ||
| There's a story, too. | ||
| No, you're right. | ||
| We're fleshing this out way better than Alex is. | ||
| We gotta throw this in there. | ||
| So I'm definitely curious about what his story is that he didn't read but prepared forever for and then didn't cover and then got mad yesterday. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I'm curious. | ||
| We'll never know. | ||
| But what we are gonna know is how many fucking stacks of paper are in front of him because he proceeds to count them off. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| I mean, that story alone gives me a headache. | ||
| It's so important. | ||
| My headache, I mean, my head just... | ||
| Yesterday, I spent about an hour just reading that and printing documents and thinking about it, and I wrote more than 30 notes just about it, and each note would take five minutes. | ||
| So that's where I'm at. | ||
| That's one stack. | ||
| There's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 stacks. | ||
| Some stacks are more than 20 articles. | ||
| I've got 50-something videos here. | ||
| You're like, well, then get to it, Jack. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, I'm going to. | |
| But each one of these stacks brings up a whole database in my head, and I'm just like, ah! | ||
| Because one thing to sit in my office, because the brain moves so quick, it's then, how do you boil it down? | ||
| How do you put in a spoken word? | ||
| Each one of these stacks is like a whole speech that a professor or politician would spend weeks getting ready for. | ||
| See what I mean? | ||
| So it's painful. | ||
| Like Musk says, the brain is hurting. | ||
| But it's good. | ||
| It's good for you. | ||
| The brain is hurting. | ||
| The brain is hurting. | ||
| Isn't his time supposed to be numbered on the show? | ||
| He just did list off numbers. | ||
| That's what I'm saying! | ||
| Aren't you supposed to have an end date eventually, right? | ||
| Conan spent his last few days on The Tonight Show going ape shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Do it. | ||
| Well, I mean, look. | ||
| Whether or not your time is numbered... | ||
| This is a real disrespect to timing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Or schedules. | ||
| Everything. | ||
| He's killing time in a way that is self-parody. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I'm amazed by it. | ||
| It should be. | ||
| It genuinely... | ||
| I think should be illegal. | ||
| I have many qualms with the laws. | ||
| A crime against time. | ||
| I think so! | ||
| So every episode, I could probably rant for a couple extra hours about stupid thoughts I have about how dumb Alex is or how I'm mad about some really niche concern, but I don't because I prepare for the show. | ||
| There's a lot of information in my head, oftentimes that connect in some ways to subjects that we're talking about, but for the most part, I don't suffer from this brain pain that Alex does because I do a little bit more than skim- I do things that facilitate that. | ||
| I read articles and bills when necessary and seek out context so I can understand the things that we're covering in order to convey a point. | ||
| Conversely, Alex's goal is to create exciting entertainment that makes his audience mad at vulnerable populations in society, so he has no reason to actually cover a point. | ||
| He's just that Jesus lizard running across the surface of the pond, and if he takes time to explore anything, the momentum gets lost and he falls in the water. | ||
| He has 30-something stacks of paper in front of him, so his point better be some good shit that he's dancing around avoiding getting to. | ||
| I'm real excited. | ||
| They got it. | ||
| Who decides how many of those papers are fake? | ||
| Or, like, empty, you know? | ||
| Like, who's the person who has the stack of, like, we put 40 sheets. | ||
| Those are always blank. | ||
| Let's just face it. | ||
| It wasn't always this, but the answer is now Chase. | ||
| Yeah, well, it has to be Chase. | ||
| The answer is always Chase. | ||
| Or Daria. | ||
| It's probably Daria. | ||
| It's probably Daria. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| So Alex has all of this paper in front of him. | ||
| He's prepared so much. | ||
| He's got a lot in his brain pain. | ||
| The head is hurt. | ||
| Yeah, when his head hurts, the rainforest suffers. | ||
| Yeah, so he tries to use some of these props, and it just does not work. | ||
| And I get why a lot of people don't want to know about reality, because it's complex, and it's wild, and the deeper you get into it, the more deep it gets, and the more you want to know, and woo, it's wild! | ||
| And it's fulfilling! | ||
| But it's like sometimes, it's like driving in a race car, 250 miles an hour, it's like... | ||
| When do I get off this thing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So... | |
| Let me... | ||
| Let me just do this. | ||
| I think the only way to do this is just start per stack. | ||
| It's like you're about to start a marathon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like... | |
| Is that how you start a marathon? | ||
| It's like... | ||
| I feel like it's not. | ||
| But I am a dirty devil at points. | ||
| It'd be like 20 of the most beautiful women you've ever seen in your life. | ||
| You got one day to be cool. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I'm being bad. | ||
| The point is, the point is, is that, because each one of these is devastating to the New World Order. | ||
| And I really want to hit the nail on the head with all these. | ||
| So, I mean, this right here is a big deal. | ||
| And I should probably do the whole show on this. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| You know what this is? | ||
| This is what I told you months and months and months ago was coming because they said it was coming. | ||
| And then no one else talked about it but them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's the Marshall Law Plan. | |
| Kind of a big deal. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| Kind of a big deal. | ||
| Alex has 30 odd stacks of prop paper on his desk, but it's not really doing him much good here because he can't figure out what he wants to cover. | ||
| He doesn't know really anything about the stories, the headlines that he's seeing, and likely they're just not inspiring him towards an easy path. | ||
| So instead of just picking one and diving into it, Alex has descended into a meta-commentary about what it's like to have to choose from so many amazing stories that you could cover. | ||
| This is a fraud. | ||
| If Alex is being sincere, then I'm supposed to believe that he spent hours preparing these stories, and now that he's on air, he can't choose one to start with because he's too prepared, and they're all so huge. | ||
| This implies that if he covers one story, he won't be able to cover the others, and what if the other ones are actually bigger news? | ||
| Can he live with himself if he covers one bombshell, but in the process, forgets to cover three others? | ||
| This is dumb, because Alex has unlimited airtime, and can cover whatever the fuck he wants for however long he wants. | ||
| He has theoretical radio commercial breaks, but he skips those all the time, and there's nothing stopping him from keeping the show going as long as he wants on his own streams. | ||
| He doesn't do that because the news he has to cover actually isn't important, but it's important that he make it feel super important. | ||
| The show isn't about the stories he's covering, it's about how important his stories are, and that feeling is created by doing this whole game about how he can't get to anything because it's all too massive. | ||
| This is all bullshit, and if Alex wanted to, he could judiciously prepare and do dry coverage of any story that he wants on his show. | ||
| But he knows that if he did that, there would be no substance there, and he'd bore the shit out of the audience. | ||
| But I guess now that we've switched from this huge news about weather weapons to some huge news about martial law plan, like... | ||
| This is also not news to Alex's audience. | ||
| He's been yelling about Rex 84 since before Chase was born. | ||
| Like, this is ridiculous. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That is definitely true. | ||
| I wonder, does preparing so much then turn it into an improv game? | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Like, improv, you're supposed to not prepare. | ||
| But can you prepare so much that it circles back around to being improv again? | ||
| Well, I mean, some people would argue that all you're doing by living is preparing to improvise. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| While I was thinking of this, there was a part of me that's like, can Andy Daly do improv anymore? | ||
| Or is he improv so much it's not possible for him? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| He's just too good. | ||
| It is who he's prepared to be. | ||
| Once you dedicate yourself to not... | ||
| You've prepared. | ||
| Everything is preparation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Everything has been preparation for the moment that you're in. | |
| And I guess if Alex wanted to make that argument, I would find that fascinating. | ||
| I think we just proved that improv is evil and no one should do it. | ||
| I'm not going to go that far with you. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| But Alex is definitely a case study that it can be bad. | ||
| There's improv games and there's Alex. | ||
| You know what the rest is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In the same way that... | ||
| Man, I just... | ||
| I'm fascinated by this idea now. | ||
| The idea that him not preparing is preparing. | ||
| If that's what he's trying to convey. | ||
| It's interesting. | ||
| All right. | ||
| But I also want to know what that weather weapon story is, and I don't think we're going to get to it. | ||
| I don't know if it's real. | ||
| I don't either. | ||
| I'm starting to think that weather weapons aren't even real. | ||
| I know that stacks of paper are real. | ||
| I heard him count them out. | ||
| I want that suit. | ||
| So we got this martial law plan. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And so Alex decides, like, maybe this will be more fun to talk about. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So he dives into that. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| This is big, and it ties into all the rest of this. | ||
| Democrat senators urge Biden to try to limit Trump's ability to use the military domestically. | ||
| NBC News. | ||
| Now, again, this article gives me a headache because it's got hundreds and really more than that data points. | ||
| This is a legislative coup over the executive, and they think if Biden, outgoing, somehow certifies that the presidency... | ||
| No longer has the power over the military, the command of it, Congress has the funding, that it's legitimate. | ||
| That's one level. | ||
| But the bigger issue is, what are they planning? | ||
| Well, they say there's going to be uprisings against Hitler. | ||
| I mean, obviously, Hitler 2.0, Donald John Trump. | ||
| And the Trump supporters are going to kill the migrants and kill the black people. | ||
| You say that with surety out of a clear blue sky because... | ||
| They're going to do the false flags. | ||
| Duh! | ||
| So I'm just sitting here waiting when Trump gets in, and they're going to have white supremacists mow down a bunch of migrants to set up Tom Homan and Trump and all of us. | ||
| This is a big deal. | ||
| And all of this is a big deal. | ||
| Y 'all like the U.S. government's going to create a weather control bureau. | ||
| Oh, so you see how this is now strangely connected back to the weather weapons thing, but it's not really connected at all? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| This is because all Alex is really doing behind, like, the presentation of it is he's verbally spinning plates. | ||
| Right. | ||
| The act that he's engaged in. | ||
| If you describe the improv that he's doing, that's what it is. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I still have no idea what this weather weapon story is, but now we have a story about Democratic senators wanting to limit Trump's ability to use the military as a domestic police force. | ||
| And Alex is against that. | ||
| Alex, the king of posse comitatus, supports a president using the military as a domestic police force. | ||
| I get that he has this dumb false flag racism angle that he pretends justifies having that position, but that's fucking insane. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The premise of Alex's entire career is built on the opposition to the feds, and the inciting incidents of the Patriot movement that he's made millions off of were things like Ruby Ridge and Waco, where federal forces were used against civilians in a way that Alex and his cohorts believed violated the Posse Comitatus Act. | ||
| There was no principle here to begin with. | ||
| It was just marketing and branding, and it's important to understand. | ||
| The story here is that Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal wrote a letter to Biden asking that he put out a policy statement that clarified how the president could use the U.S. military and the domestic police force in times like when the governors asked for help. | ||
| You know, stuff like federalizing the National Guard with the governor's permission. | ||
| They were concerned because Trump has said repeatedly that he wants to use the U.S. government for domestic policing in terms of things like mass deportations and dealing with the radical left. | ||
| He's been pretty clear about his intent, so Warren and Blumenthal wanted Biden to say, hey, not cool, before leaving office, knowing fully well that Trump wouldn't be bound by that, and he could reverse Biden's directive the second he was inaugurated. | ||
| I would understand Alex being against Warren and Blumenthal's letter because they were asking Biden to just assert things that are already law. | ||
| It's kind of a waste and it doesn't really change anything. | ||
| So it ultimately comes down to like an optics thing or making it look bad when Trump goes back on it or whatever. | ||
| I would accept that Alex has that kind of a problem, except like 20 percent of his political activism before Trump came around. | ||
| Like he was trying to get state governments to assert already established laws, like saying the secularists. | ||
| amendment exists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It does. | |
| His career was built on empty performative gestures, so I'm left with little choice but to believe that Alex is mad about this because he wants Trump to use the U.S. military as a domestic police force. | ||
| He's never believed in posse comitatus. | ||
| He just doesn't want the Yeah, yeah, it is fascinating to me, this part. | ||
| Because from what I know of military members and the people that I've met and talked to and their experiences, is that they are infinitely more interested in the Constitution than the regular police. | ||
| So I kind of, and in fact I would make a very large bet that if they made the military a domestic police force, we would have a more constitutional police force than the one we currently have. | ||
| I think that would backfire. | ||
| Horribly on people who are trying to... | ||
| You've already got the cops! | ||
| They're fine with doing illegal shit! | ||
| I don't know if you've noticed that. | ||
| I'm not trying to advocate for maintaining the status quo, but I also hope that we never find out if you're right. | ||
| Because if you're wrong, that shit's bad. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| If you're wrong that the military would be a better police force, you're in deep once you have made that mistake. | ||
| But, like, what's the biggest difference? | ||
| Like, they're not going to roll up with tanks, you know what I'm saying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like... | |
| Or, okay, how about throw this out there? | ||
| Traffic stop via tank. | ||
| Now that's fun. | ||
| Well, I mean, on some level you could make the argument that, you know, obviously police forces have already militarized and, you know, they have access to a lot of... | ||
| They already have tanks. | ||
| Yeah, but they don't roll up to your house for, like, a normal call and attack. | ||
| So I think that would be a stretch. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Well, I mean, they don't always roll up to your house. | ||
| Here's what I would say. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The things that militaries do and that police do are distinct. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| In many ways. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| Either way, I think that Alex definitely, based on what his career is all about... | ||
| Shouldn't be striking this time. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| He should be, like, fucking crossing the Rubicon-ass Caesar shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's absurd. | ||
| And just because he has his notion of, like, oh, the left is gonna do false flags and make Trump use the military on the public, and then they'll make him look bad for doing it. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It's like, what level could you not... | ||
| Just write that story about every single instance. | ||
| Like if Bill Clinton wanted to use the military to take over the entire country, let's say, why couldn't somebody on the left be like, well... | ||
| I mean, you know, the fun part about the government that I like is that, I mean... | ||
| Theoretically, he could just have... | ||
| He's already got most of the legislative branch and the judicial branch and the executive branch. | ||
| So he could just set up a new office called the... | ||
| Not the Army Police Force and put everybody in the army in it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boy, that would be wild. | |
| I mean... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't understand what... | |
| The Department of Government Efficiency is. | ||
| See what I'm saying? | ||
| Put the military in it! | ||
| Is that a real government thing? | ||
| What if the military was the entire Department of Government Efficiency? | ||
| Under Vivek? | ||
| And Vivek had complete control over the military. | ||
| Now we're getting somewhere. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| Now we got a government. | ||
| I do think that previously unimaginable things seem to be... | ||
| Unfolding. | ||
| I'm in. | ||
| I'm in for clownship. | ||
| So Alex is a bit triggered by Alejandro Mayorkas. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And he talks about that. | ||
| You've got exactly what we called for, exactly what I was told was going on. | ||
| The new borders are Tom Homan saying, I'll play the clip coming up. | ||
| That they are going to criminally not just go after the NGOs, not just go after the human traffickers at the ground level, where the rubber meets the road, at the tire asphalt level. | ||
| That's important. | ||
| But they're gonna go after the NGOs and the for-profits and the State Department and Alejandro Mayorky I I don't normally revel in things, but I really don't like these people. | ||
| And I really want to save the children. | ||
| You think your kids are safe while this is going on? | ||
| Are they going to stop with just the poor migrant kids? | ||
| Let me tell you something. | ||
| It's in the news. | ||
| He's running around trying to get immunity right now. | ||
| Good luck, you piece of filth. | ||
| You piece of fucking shit. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| I'm going to tell you, I don't drink anymore. | ||
| But when that bastard gets sentenced to life in prison in a supermax prison, I'm going to get some Dom Perignon. | ||
| I am. | ||
| I'm not even swing from the chandelier at my house. | ||
| I'm serious. | ||
| I've never swung from a chandelier, but I'm going to get a stepladder and I'm going to swing on it. | ||
| I am. | ||
| I'm going to dance on the table. | ||
| Nobody triggers me like him. | ||
| My spirit goes, that's the bad guy, right? | ||
| It's okay, just stop. | ||
| Okay, I'm gonna go to break. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Alright, man. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| You do sound hungry. | ||
| You need to go to break. | ||
| Yeah, you gotta get something to eat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Get something to eat. | |
| You sound like it. | ||
| Glad you're sober. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| Yes, that's the lesson to take from that. | ||
| Good job, buddy. | ||
| Man, he makes a compelling case for alcoholism. | ||
| I mean, hey. | ||
| What are you gonna do? | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| I'm just on CBOSS these days. | ||
| That's all. | ||
| He does talk about a sea boss as like a stimulant. | ||
| It's very similar. | ||
| You gotta adjust the chemical balance there. | ||
| That's all I'm saying. | ||
| So he was covering some stuff about Tom Homan, the new Borders are, what he'd say. | ||
| And he's talking about a clip from Hannity's show, where he was talking about his plans as Borders are to carry out these mass deportations. | ||
| The anti-states rights position that he's coming from would really have pissed off Alex's former self. | ||
| But I guess he's trying to use these oppressive federal powers to kick non-white people out of the country. | ||
| So Alex is fine with it. | ||
| Interestingly, Hannity wasn't hosting this particular episode of his show. | ||
| Trump's new border czar was the guest and the fill-in host was Kellyanne Conway, Trump's former campaign manager and communications director. | ||
| Seems like this media collaboration should concern Alex, but I guess it's just fine. | ||
| Yeah, you know what? | ||
| And this points back to what I'm saying, okay? | ||
| The military... | ||
| So much time learning about how to deal with unconstitutional orders. | ||
| So much time taking so many oaths. | ||
| They're taking so many oaths. | ||
| CBP? | ||
| Not interested. | ||
| Sweet. | ||
| Uninterested. | ||
| Constitution? | ||
| Who needs it? | ||
| I thought you were going to say that the military should host Hannity's show, and I was interested in that. | ||
| I'm for that, too. | ||
| Now we're listening. | ||
| We have a rotating host. | ||
| Are there five branches of the military? | ||
| Because then it could be Monday through Friday. | ||
| Wait, are there five bridges in the military? | ||
| I don't know either. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Coast Guard. | |
| Is Coast Guard military? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We've got to get to five. | ||
| I feel like it's Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force now. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So we've got at least four. | ||
| Coast Guard. | ||
| And then Coast Guard. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Done. | ||
| They're all hosted Hannity. | ||
| Monday through Friday. | ||
| Monday through Friday. | ||
| I like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So, let's get off this topic and head over to some medical news. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Alex has some big medical news in one of those 30 stacks. | ||
| Every one of the new heart attack, myocarditis cases in children, 1.7 million, was injected with the Pfizer shot alone. | ||
| I've got the study right here. | ||
| I'll get to that. | ||
| You're like, why would you do something like that? | ||
| Well, there's a lot of reasons. | ||
| I'll explain it next hour. | ||
| Because if you understand the mindset of why they do it, there's a philosophy. | ||
| See, there's two types of knowledge. | ||
| There's knowledge of good, and there's knowledge of evil. | ||
| And knowledge means you understand how the system works. | ||
| One builds strength and beauty and honor and life and power and success. | ||
| The other, destruction and death and betrayal. | ||
| But there are ways you can do things. | ||
| And see, good people don't really have knowledge of evil. | ||
| Which you can say is good at one level, because when no one has knowledge of it, no one does it. | ||
| And you just operate on as God designed you. | ||
| But since evil's been introduced and evil systems developed and set up as perpetual motion machines, we need to stop being naive and face the horror. | ||
| If you want to dismantle the horror. | ||
| You don't make a friend of horror, as Colonel Kurt says in Apocalypse Now. | ||
| You make it your mortal enemy so that you can know it, but then understand it and put yourself in its shoes, in its boots, so you can understand why it's doing it, because killing people is just part of it. | ||
| This is fun and all, and I'm sure it makes Alex feel cool to say, but he's just explaining to the audience that he likes to play pretend. | ||
| In his mind, he's God's chosen soldier meant to fight the devil, and what makes him so special is that Alex knows about what demons do. | ||
| He's been close to the other side, he's been tempted, and that proximity has enlightened him to what evil is really about. | ||
| He has the knowledge of evil! | ||
| In the real world, Alex is just a delusional bullshit artist who's stumbled onto a really profitable game where he pretends that his enemies are cartoon villains and literal demons, and he rambles to his audience about what he would imagine they would do and how scary their imaginary plans are. | ||
| And then he points at large stacks of paper and headlines of articles he hasn't read as props to trick idiots into thinking that his insane ravings are based on some kind of information or research. | ||
| Alex doesn't have a study that all new cases of childhood myocarditis are caused by the COVID vaccine, but I guess we'll get to that after he covers the big weather weapon news or whatever. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Without him providing any context for what he's talking about with this study, I'd like to propose a suggestion for how it might be possible for there to be some numbers that incidences of myocarditis could be higher among vaccinated children than unvaccinated children. | ||
| I'm not saying this is the case, and I'm relying on no data to back this up, but here's a spitball. | ||
| It would stand to reason the children whose parents got them vaccinated are more trusting of the medical system and doctors in general. | ||
| Not every case of myocarditis is captured by data, and in most cases it's self-resolving. | ||
| If you were a child whose parents were strongly distrustful of doctors, It's possible that you could have a case of myocarditis that your parents just thought was exhaustion and they just told you to go lay down. | ||
| You never got diagnosed and you just moved on with your life. | ||
| Not all cases are severe, but parents who have more trust and openness with the medical system might be more likely to take their kid in to get their symptoms checked out and that would lead to a diagnosis of myocarditis which would have otherwise been missed. | ||
| I don't know if this is the case, but I'm using this as an illustration to show that even if Alex had some numbers that myocarditis cases were higher in vaccinated children than unvaccinated children, there could be another explanation for that data that calls into question the causal relationship between the vaccine and the myocarditis. | ||
| Also, I was lying. | ||
| I did look into this, and Alex is totally wrong. | ||
| And if you get COVID, you're much more likely to experience myocarditis from getting that than you are from the vaccine. | ||
| Incidentally, on December 1st, a fake story about a UK study finding that 1.7 million children got heart defects from the vaccine that was circulating all over dipshit social media. | ||
| Alex just saw a random post on Twitter. | ||
| He's pretending he's some kind of a sleuth. | ||
| He's got a big COVID bombshell. | ||
| But the point I want to stress is that even if Alex weren't just skimming social media and yelling about how mad he is about fake shit he saw there, even if there was a statistically higher incidence of myocarditis in vaccinated children compared to unvaccinated children, his conclusion's still not earned. | ||
| It's still not worthwhile even if he wasn't lying. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Come on! | ||
| You got him! | ||
| But there's two kinds of knowledge. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Good and bad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
See, these are the kind of insights you get when you take the moss. | |
| When you take the sea moss. | ||
| These are the kind of wisdoms. | ||
| I played KOTOR, you know, Knights of the Old Republic, back in the day. | ||
| It was a good computer game. | ||
| And you could make choices. | ||
| You gotta be good or Sith. | ||
| Send you to Jedi or Sith. | ||
| That kind of thing. | ||
| And I... | ||
| I genuinely always find it hard to play these alignment games. | ||
| Because they do provide these choices and I'm like, man, I want to know what it's like to be a bad... | ||
| But before I find myself, I'm clicking the same thing over and over again. | ||
| Well, it's because some of those choices are actually like, I would feel bad to do this. | ||
| Yeah, I would feel bad to do it. | ||
| So I don't do it. | ||
| But one game, playing KOTOR, I remember making a character and I was like, I'm going to role play as the bad guy. | ||
| And here was the problem. | ||
| Basically the same game. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's never like... | ||
| It's often not drastically different. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| No, I mean, you know, in KOTOR you embrace the fact that you were a brainwashed Sith and that whole thing, and there's a difference. | ||
| But really, in terms of the game that you play, you just get to shoot more lightning. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Wasn't there that Mega Man game where it just changed how dark of a suit you had, depending on if you made anti-social choices? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I've never played a Mega Man role-playing game. | ||
| Yeah, there was like a Mega Man Legends. | ||
| All right. | ||
| That was kind of like an early open world kind of thing. | ||
| And you could be really mean to people. | ||
| And I think it made your suit different. | ||
| Oh, he found me! | ||
| Oh, the referees aren't here! | ||
| What? | ||
| So, uh, Alex talks about, he got into a little bit of a mood there with talking about the knowledge of good and evil. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And that mood is killing time because he has so many big stories. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| And so he just keeps going. | ||
| I'll get to everything else, but I need to spend some more time on this, as you can see. | ||
| Because I could go for ten hours just on this. | ||
| That's a problem. | ||
| Like, when do you cut it off? | ||
| Because you keep going and going and going and going, and people go, oh, I'm told about lizards. | ||
| That's when they go, oh, yeah, oh. | ||
| Because you don't need to just hear it from me. | ||
| You're like, oh, yeah, that's how they, oh, yeah, yeah, exactly. | ||
| Oh, yeah, see, oh, yeah. | ||
| You put the glasses on. | ||
| It's not me telling you. | ||
| You just see it now. | ||
| And once you see it, there's no going back. | ||
| Once you, it's like Morpheus tells Neo, listen, I'm not promising you anything but reality, okay? | ||
| You take the blue pill, you go back to Wonderland. | ||
| You take the red pill, you come to reality, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| All I'm offering is the truth, nothing more. | ||
| And yeah, it's the metaphor in such a great screenplay of an amazing novel of They Live. | ||
| Where the glasses give you a headache. | ||
| It's just like, what? | ||
| Yeah, it's easy to be in the Matrix. | ||
| But it'll kill you. | ||
| Kill your soul. | ||
| But it's easy on the surface. | ||
| Just like not exercising. | ||
| Sitting on your ass and eating bonbons all day and weighing 400 pounds. | ||
| Two hacky movie references in one minute. | ||
| Alex is crushing it. | ||
| So this, what Alex says there at the beginning, though, I think that's actually probably... | ||
| For sure. | ||
| What he hears from listeners. | ||
| He says that he's most convincing when he just keeps going. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Because they're describing him wearing them out. | ||
| Unless you're putting a ton of effort and attention into it, the human brain isn't designed to take in information the way Alex conveys it. | ||
| He rattles off a ton of bullshit and jumps from topic to topic so frequently that a passive listener would have very little chance of even keeping up with what he's saying from moment to moment. | ||
| It's a bad way to convey information where it matters if what you're saying is true or not because it's meant to overwhelm your critical thinking skills. | ||
| However, it's very good as an emotional trigger where Alex rants and then he just keeps going, bringing up emotionally painful shit and fake crying and describing snuff films and that's where he can get you. | ||
| He could never win an actual information and fact-based debate, but he can do a hell of a tent revival speech. | ||
| And those are dependent on momentum and inertia. | ||
| You have to keep going, which is why Alex likely hears from listeners frequently that his long-winded free association rambling was what gave them the They Live Glasses experience. | ||
| His manipulation of their emotions overtook their interest in critically assessing the And poof! | ||
| They got it! | ||
| That's the moment that you get it! | ||
| He wore you down. | ||
| It's like that video where people are like passing a ball around and then there's a guy wearing a bear costume. | ||
| And then after the video, they're like, did you see the guy with the bear costume? | ||
| And you're like, no, I didn't see a guy with a bear costume. | ||
| There's no way I didn't see a guy with the bear costume. | ||
| And then you watch it and there's a fucking guy with a bear costume just walking through. | ||
| And you're like, how did I miss that? | ||
| That's Alex. | ||
| I don't know if Alex is the bear or the ball. | ||
| He's something. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| He's an optical illusion. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| He is an optical illusion. | ||
| It's a trick. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So he talks a little bit here in this next clip about why he's so successful. | ||
| And, I mean, it's fun, I guess. | ||
| The reason I'm so successful at getting corporations and governments to listen to me that aren't committed to evil, and the bad guys listen to us, they already know all this, they're just not paying attention. | ||
| They get distracted. | ||
| My job. | ||
| Is to get people back on target. | ||
| What are the bad guys planning? | ||
| What have they signaled? | ||
| What have they telegraphed? | ||
| So that we're waiting for them when they try it. | ||
| Or the bad guys get smart and run up that white flag. | ||
| Which I'm seeing a lot more of. | ||
| And so instead of getting depressed, just focusing on the evil, I have prayed about it. | ||
| I've decided to be very happy and appreciate the victories we're having. | ||
| And that's why I'm... | ||
| Probably going too far the other way and having a little bit of reveling and shortening. | ||
| Is that what's happening? | ||
| But this is better than being upset. | ||
| Because we are starting to have big victory and I thank God. | ||
| But I also ask God to temper. | ||
| Feels like you're still upset. | ||
| Celebrations a bit. | ||
| Because we need to not be overconfident. | ||
| You seem upset. | ||
| Pass the sea, boss. | ||
| So that's coming up. | ||
| Sobriety makes people upset. | ||
| I've been making a long time for this globalist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know it too, don't you? | |
| So, if you think this show, exposing the enemy's next moves and winning is important, I humbly ask you to do the right thing, get incredible products, and keep us on the air. | ||
| So you need to go to the AlexJonesStore.com, not owned by me, not Infowars, no matter what happens to Infowars, the attempt to shut down, this will continue on. | ||
| I love it when people really stress that they don't own a business. | ||
| Super convincing. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| So what Alex said there at the beginning about why he's successful is such a wild distortion of reality, and it's meant solely to bolster Alex's self-image. | ||
| He talks a ton of ridiculous shit on the show, and that makes it so the patriots are ready when the globalists arrive to carry out their plans, or if those plans never actually come into effect, that's because Alex's shit-talking stopped them from doing the thing that they were totally going to do. | ||
| There's no fail state in Alex's shit talk. | ||
| In effect, he's created a perfect self-reinforcing profit simulator. | ||
| Nothing that happens can prove that he was wrong. | ||
| And great! | ||
| That's a lot of fun. | ||
| But, I mean, where's the globalist proboscis right now? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It seems like it's probably in the process of retracting, right? | ||
| Because he seems to be quite celebratory. | ||
| It does feel that way. | ||
| Globalist proboscis in? | ||
| I mean... | ||
| But now, but Trump has to be part of their plan. | ||
| It has to be part of the proboscis all along. | ||
| I hope not. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| So, also, here's a couple of things to think about. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| One, we still don't know what this weather weapons story was. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Two, I just had this thought. | ||
| Remember, like, six months ago when Alex was talking about praying for the angel of death? | ||
| I do recall that. | ||
| And Chase took it like a big deal? | ||
| He really didn't like that. | ||
| That was like six months ago. | ||
| He thought it was irresponsible to just throw the Angel of Death around all willy-dilly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I gotta talk to my pastor about this, but I'm thinking about calling it the Angel of Death. | |
| Pretty intense. | ||
| Pretty intense. | ||
| It's so funny that that was a while ago. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| It sucks. | ||
| This is one thing I feel for Alex. | ||
| It would be nice. | ||
| One of the nice things about not being delusional. | ||
| Is being able to take pride in your actual accomplishments. | ||
| And, man, if there is one thing that you gotta respect Alex for, that motherfucker is relentless. | ||
| Why is he successful? | ||
| Because he does not relent. | ||
| I would argue that that is a function of living in the moment. | ||
| I mean, listen, I did sales... | ||
| The past is not real. | ||
| I did sales for a long time, and that is the number one sign of success. | ||
| Psychopathic unwillingness to take a note for an answer. | ||
| I think Alex did do some sales in his past. | ||
| Oh, I bet he did. | ||
| Probably was pretty successful. | ||
| Oh, I bet he was. | ||
| So, Alex talks here a little bit about Kash Patel and how he and Alex are really the only ones that are, like, taking human trafficking seriously. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| This is bad. | ||
| This is a dark clip. | ||
| And it's gotten much worse and is now out in the open. | ||
| With almost no resistance to it other than conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones and Cash Patel. | ||
| Yeah, Cash Patel was the deputy head of one of the most important intelligence agencies. | ||
| Oh, but he's a conspiracy theorist about releasing the Epstein list that they admit they have, they won't release? | ||
| That's not a conspiracy theory. | ||
| Or going after the NGOs that did the record-level human trafficking here in America? | ||
| Or Tom Homan saying, we're going after the NGOs, the UN, and the administration operatives? | ||
| Yes, yes, yes. | ||
| And if they just do that, because the Globals are coming after us anyways, and I say that to people in government, that are not bad people, they're like, if we really do this, the public can't handle it. | ||
| Yeah, the public can handle the truth. | ||
| Remember in a few good men? | ||
| No. | ||
| Nick Nicholson playing the Marine Corps officer, talking to the Marine Corps lawyer, or the Navy lawyer, Tom Cruise. | ||
| Never heard of it. | ||
| You want answers? | ||
| I'll give you the answers. | ||
| You want the truth? | ||
| You can't handle the truth. | ||
| That's a great line. | ||
| You can handle the truth because living under the tyranny of denying all this stuff is a trillion times worse. | ||
| Not a good line. | ||
| Infowars because you can handle the truth. | ||
| Better. | ||
| You want answers? | ||
| I got answers for you. | ||
| Best. | ||
| You don't have to believe me. | ||
| You can go check out every damn thing I say. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Don't do that. | ||
| Please don't. | ||
| Including calling to the minute when Trump would come out and announce his victory. | ||
| Ignoring time zones. | ||
| A little over the horizon stuff, too. | ||
| And if I get told to do a lot more than I will, but only when I get told to. | ||
| Oh, and it's not from the Mercers or... | ||
| The Vatican or the Israelis, I don't get told to do anything by them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I get told by the Holy Spirit. | |
| And that's why the bad guys don't like this show. | ||
| Oh, that makes sense. | ||
| So you have to really take a step back to fully appreciate how much of a child Alex really is. | ||
| Like, this is a 50-year-old man sounding like a middle schooler arguing at recess. | ||
| It's fascinating that anybody could hear a fully grown adult talk like this and not really start to worry that they're listening to an idiot. | ||
| At the beginning of that clip, Alex was lamenting that the only people who are actually talking about sex trafficking are people like himself and Kash Patel, who then get branded as conspiracy theorists. | ||
| This isn't true on any level, but I can explain what is happening here. | ||
| Serious people and organizations are and have been doing difficult work against human trafficking. | ||
| It's a real problem and there are real people fighting against it. | ||
| However, since 2015, it's become a bit of an obsession for the conspiracy theorist communities in a deeply unhealthy way. | ||
| Pizzagate was one of the first high-profile flare-ups of this since the last Satanic Panic, and that really demonstrated to a lot of shitty people how powerful and profitable it could be to sensationalize stories about crimes against children. | ||
| Since then, right-wing social media has essentially been a carousel of nonsense human trafficking panics, like when they thought that Wayfair was selling kidnapped kids on their website. | ||
| This particular segment of the conspiracy world has an impossible standard, where they demand that the authorities play these games with them. | ||
| Unless the Department of Justice arrests all the pizza shop owners in D.C. and shuts down Wayfair, then they must not really be taking the issue of human trafficking seriously. | ||
| Folks like Alex and Kash Patel are able to exploit this mentality, promising to take these concerns seriously, and in the process, normal people rightly come to view them as conspiracy theorists. | ||
| Over time, this community has become more and more loud, particularly in comparison to people doing actual work against human trafficking. | ||
| Alex and all his shithead friends couldn't stop tripping over their own feet trying to promote the sound of freedom. | ||
| But don't say a goddamn word about any of the actual on-the-ground organizations trying to provide resources and safety to people who are trying to flee dangerous, exploitative situations. | ||
| They aren't interested in actually addressing human trafficking, its causes, and its reality, but... | ||
| It's that voice that's the loudest, and it won't be satisfied unless we all get into addressing... | ||
| Enochrome conspiracies and all that other stupid shit. | ||
| And so, in the real world, there are these people fighting human trafficking, but their efforts will never be enough unless they take the insane fantasies of idiots seriously. | ||
| This makes it appear like the only people talking about human trafficking, they end up getting called conspiracy theorists because the conspiracy dipshits are super loud and they're not helping anyone, so they often get told to please just shut up. | ||
| And so that's why that perception exists, which is what Alex is actually describing when he talks about how him and Kash Patel are the only people who are talking about this, and they get branded conspiracy theorists. | ||
| That's not true, but that's the dynamic that's underneath it. | ||
| Yeah, you know, I'm going to go ahead and say that I think the FBI investigating Wayfair is probably for the best. | ||
| Hey, I mean, look. | ||
| Check all the corners, you know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Check off the boxes. | ||
| I mean, that gives the rest of us a good six months of free crime. | ||
| So, like, go do some crimes. | ||
| Because the FBI's not looking. | ||
| Do you really think it's going to take six months to investigate that dumb shit? | ||
| If Cash Patel is in charge, yes. | ||
| Yeah, if he's wasting time. | ||
| We all have free interstate crimes waiting for us. | ||
| That's available now. | ||
| See what I'm saying? | ||
| Nobody's looking. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| Fucking... | ||
| That Dunkin' Donuts in Boston? | ||
| Steal everything. | ||
| Leave the state. | ||
| Nobody's gonna fuck with you. | ||
| The FBI's busy. | ||
| You can't cross the border between states with donuts. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| You can now. | ||
| No, because you can only have a Boston cream within Massachusetts state lines. | ||
| Oh, that is true. | ||
| Everyone knows that. | ||
| Who enforces that? | ||
| It's not the FBI. | ||
| Otherwise, we'd be able to get away with it, obviously. | ||
| It's a bunch of Beantown guys. | ||
| CT will come and get you if you try and take the fuck. | ||
| It's just CT and... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| CT and Ben Affleck, just kick your ass. | ||
|
unidentified
|
His childhood friends. | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That sounds right. | ||
| So, Alex, he's talking about this, like, being called a conspiracy theorist if you talk about these human trafficking type things. | ||
| He says something that I thought was really fucked up. | ||
| I was talking to an individual, I'll just leave it at that, about pedophiles in Hollywood a few days ago. | ||
| And he said, oh yeah, let me tell you about, I mean, the person knows these people. | ||
| And I said, oh, he's a such and such. | ||
| He goes, well, how do you know? | ||
| And I got told that by a movie producer 18, 19 years ago. | ||
| He was just going down a list, this person, that person, this person. | ||
| And I said, well, we got to go tell the police that. | ||
| And he's like, well, I mean, I just talked to the guys that saw it. | ||
| I said, well, you need to get them to go to the police. | ||
| And it was a very well-known Hollywood person. | ||
| That when they're on location and shoots in Latin America with the security team, they just grab women out of the villages and just rape them. | ||
| And kids. | ||
| And that's just, you know, that's just, that's just the way this works. | ||
| So, yeah, this is going on. | ||
| These people think they're God. | ||
| Let me be clear about something. | ||
| Alex either doesn't believe this story he's been told by this person, or he's actively involved in covering up for this unnamed movie star. | ||
| I don't know how else to put this, but you just can't do shit like this. | ||
| This isn't okay, and Alex relaying this story this way reveals a real sickness in how he deals with this kind of stuff. | ||
| If he has this information, he needs to go to the police. | ||
| I can see a possibility where he doesn't believe that the police will take it seriously. | ||
| And in that case, if he believes the information that he has, he needs to say this person's name and talk about it. | ||
| If he believes the story that he's telling, then Alex is protecting their identity. | ||
| And in effect, he's enabling their ability to hurt more people in the future. | ||
| It's kind of a giveaway that he's just talking shit that he doesn't say a name. | ||
| He doesn't give a shit about people's privacy or protecting anonymity. | ||
| He hurts private citizens constantly. | ||
| He's not saying a name. | ||
| And for what? | ||
| What's the point of telling this story? | ||
| What do we gain by it? | ||
| Do we gain any new useful information that helps us understand anything? | ||
| Or is it kind of just Alex bragging about how he talks to cool Hollywood people and he's in on the gossip circles? | ||
| Like, fuck off. | ||
| This is ridiculous. | ||
| Yeah, it's like that, you know, he doesn't mind talking shit about people, because people are fucking people. | ||
| He minds talking shit about celebrities, because celebrities are important people. | ||
| I don't think that's even true. | ||
| I think that Alex doesn't give a fuck about this and just wants to act like he's in the loop about salacious shit. | ||
| Yeah, oh no, totally. | ||
| I agree with that. | ||
| He talks about celebrities he hates all the time, like Robert De Niro. | ||
| He can't stop complaining about that guy. | ||
| Sure, but that's part of wanting to be part of that social circle. | ||
| He also constantly calls celebrities he doesn't like pedophiles. | ||
| Sure! | ||
| So this, to me, indicates one of two possibilities. | ||
| One, Alex is free associating and just trying to make himself sound cool. | ||
| Two, it's a celebrity that he likes. | ||
| And he doesn't want to say the name, because if he does... | ||
| It implicates like... | ||
| He'll get in trouble. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's something like... | ||
| Somebody will text him. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I'm not saying it's Mel Gibson, but it's someone like... | ||
| It sounds very Mel Gibson-y. | ||
| It's like someone who wants to protect their reputation. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| What was that movie he made in the jungle? | ||
| I think Apocalypto. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| This is so fucked up. | ||
| Like, honestly... | ||
| Dealing with this kind of information in this way, this flippancy, I find it repugnant. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anyway, let's have a fun clip where Alex complains about the Joker. | ||
| Yay! | ||
| They got power. | ||
| They get off on evil. | ||
| And the more you commit evil, the more you get into it, you need to do more of it and more of it and more of it and more of it. | ||
| Read about psychotics. | ||
| Read about psychopaths. | ||
| Read about serial killers when they talk to psychiatrists. | ||
| The only time they're happy is when they're doing something really nasty. | ||
| Like arsonists and all these people, they like doing bad things. | ||
| And these Hollywood movies where the Joker's a hero now. | ||
| He's so intellectual. | ||
| He's so good. | ||
| He wants to burn down the world. | ||
| Oh, he's a good person. | ||
| No. | ||
| The Joker needs a bullet in the back of his head. | ||
| He's not cool. | ||
| He's a piece of crap. | ||
| That archetype of the smiling Joker. | ||
| That demon. | ||
| That punk. | ||
| Are you mad at the Joker? | ||
| I think somebody is telling on themselves. | ||
| I don't know if it can get more telling on yourself than somebody who's like, I'm exactly like Darth Vader. | ||
| I hate when people mistake the protagonist for the antagonist. | ||
| What movie does he think the Joker is the hero of? | ||
| Because it's not Joker. | ||
| No. | ||
| Right. | ||
| These movies are quite... | ||
| They go out of their way to not have him... | ||
| Joker's somewhat of an anarchist socialist hero in the Harley Quinn animated TV series, so maybe Alex is into cartoons. | ||
| Maybe he's into cartoons! | ||
| No. | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| I strongly doubt it, yes. | ||
| I think that part of the commentary of the Joker movies is about the way that the mob misuses the symbolism. | ||
| We are all the joke. | ||
| They project onto him. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Right? | ||
| He's not the hero of the movie. | ||
| No. | ||
| I could see maybe, because he also says, like, the world burns, maybe he's talking about the Dark Knight, which came out, like, what, 15 years ago? | ||
| It's been a long time. | ||
| And he also wasn't the hero of that movie. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| He was just the most popular character. | ||
| Because it was a great performance. | ||
| Because it was a great performance. | ||
| Because we could all separate the idea of the actual Joker from the person giving their heart and soul to performing said, Yeah, he's a fucking punk. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| I mean, I suppose I agree that the Joker is a fucking... | ||
| Actually, I disagree. | ||
| Diminutizing him to punk is almost insulting. | ||
| If I was the Joker... | ||
| I would probably do something very Joker-like to Alex. | ||
| You know, he did say that they need a better class of criminal. | ||
| Exactly! | ||
| I think that's exactly what Alex is saying. | ||
| Me and the Joker would definitely get rid of Alex if that was the case. | ||
| Holy shit. | ||
| I love just the idea of Alex muttering about the Joker being a punk. | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| Someone needs to kick that guy's ass. | ||
| That Joker guy, I tell you what, these punks coming from everywhere. | ||
| People are glorifying the Joker too much. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So Alex goes to break, and he comes back, and big news has dropped. | ||
| Oh, my gosh. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| This is insane. | ||
| We're an hour and a half into this powerful transmission. | ||
| I've got two and a half hours left here, and I'm going to continue just rampaging through the news. | ||
| A 600-page report just dropped. | ||
| During the four-minute break, I just read the first few pages of it. | ||
| And, man, if I was happy earlier, right now I am having a mental orgasm. | ||
| I mean, seriously, I'm having trouble even doing the show at this point. | ||
| I'll have what he's having. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| Ha ha ha. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| You can't handle the cup. | ||
| Because I need to scan through it some more before I get to it. | ||
| I mean, we already know everything in it. | ||
| Because we already know this up one side and down the other, but this is a big step towards putting Bill Gates and Fauci and Peter Daszak and the rest of them in prison if they're lucky. | ||
| I think we're not going to get to that weather weapon story ever, I think, now that he's been distracted by this 600-page report. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So this is the final report of the COVID Select Subcommittee. | ||
| It got released, apparently, while Alex was on air or someone told him about it. | ||
| I don't know how to put this any more bluntly, so let me just say... | ||
| I take this as seriously as the committee did, by which I mean that Marjorie Taylor Greene was a member, so who gives a shit? | ||
| Something she was part of made it to 600 pages? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Screenshots. | |
| Maybe some filler. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| If you go through their hearings, you'll notice that they weren't really so much an investigative body as much as they were a government-funded publicity stunt, or as Alex might call it, a show trial. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| For instance, their hearing from July 21st, 2023 about lockdown policies was titled, quote, Churches vs. | ||
| Casinos. | ||
| The Constitution is not suspended in times of crisis. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| On July 27th, they had a hearing called, quote, I like that, too. | ||
| Finally, the Coen brothers have... | ||
| This was not serious, and maybe it's a little bit dramatic. | ||
| Kind of like an angsty teenager pretending to do the things they think adults do. | ||
| But also, you brought that noise on yourself. | ||
| You said, I'll have what he's having, and then he did start making... | ||
| No, it was my fault. | ||
| It was my fault. | ||
| I thought there was no way he was going to do the noise, so I might as well do the bit right away. | ||
| Foolish. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Foolish. | |
| Foolish of me. | ||
| That was what made me laugh there. | ||
| Two weeks off. | ||
| That's the timing. | ||
| I'll have what he's having. | ||
| Proceed to Alex. | ||
| To actually making the... | ||
| Oh, God, no. | ||
| No! | ||
| So, if you like those noises, here's more noises. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I mean, this is... | ||
| Ooh, boy, the synopsis pages alone. | ||
| What do they call that? | ||
| The glossary? | ||
| The syllabus? | ||
| The, uh... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mmm. | |
| Oh, this doesn't look good. | ||
| Here, let me tell you. | ||
| You guys thought you were going to get away with all this. | ||
| Doesn't look like you are to me. | ||
| No, in fact, you're not getting away with it. | ||
| You haven't gotten away with it. | ||
| And just what's been done to you so far in the information war is... | ||
| Starts the big capital D. Devastating. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
| That's World War III. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's devastating. | |
| So... | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Oh, goody, goody gumdrops. | ||
| Stay on target. | ||
| Stay on target. | ||
| Is that Porkins? | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
control yourself ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Why do people glorify the Joker? | |
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| This calls for a drink of delicious... | ||
| Cold spring water. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Refreshing. | |
| Stop it. | ||
| Seriously, I'm having an endorphin kick right now. | ||
| My cells, my very cells are like, good job. | ||
| Oh, yes. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| Yeah, I can't continue the show at this point. | ||
| No, you cannot. | ||
| Agreed. | ||
| Just need a moment here. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| Ooh, ha. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| All right. | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| Boy, do I have a lot of stuff to cover here. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| That's what you have to say! | ||
| That's that post-orgasmic clarity. | ||
| Wow! | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got a lot of work to do. | |
| Oh, I just busted. | ||
| Now I gotta get back to work. | ||
| See, this is what I'm saying. | ||
| The Onion just needs to shutter it because there is nothing that they're going to post that's funnier than that. | ||
| And if you can't beat that, you should just quit. | ||
| You're the Onion. | ||
| Stick in your lane. | ||
| There is no real parody of that. | ||
| No, you can't win. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's... | |
| It's insane. | ||
| We've been doing this for how many years? | ||
| If anybody was going to have a parody version of this that worked, we would already have it. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| And, like, that is... | ||
| It just straddles that line of, like, this is a real thing that's happening to this human. | ||
| And also, there's an artifice to this. | ||
| There's a fakeness to it. | ||
| But also, like, he's going through something. | ||
| No, this is fake, real, like a canker sore. | ||
| Like, your tongue keeps hitting it, going like, why does this hurt? | ||
| But I keep touching it. | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| It's the fakest shit in the world, but you can't fake it. | ||
| Can't fake it. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Nobody could fake it. | ||
| It can only be done by a real person. | ||
| That moment, after beeping and booping like a jackass. | ||
| Insane. | ||
| Insane. | ||
| I got a lot to cover. | ||
| That would be, that deserves, like, I want Goldberg to come out of retirement and spear him. | ||
| When was the last Goldberg match? | ||
| See what I'm saying? | ||
| Ask Linda McMahon. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| The new head of education. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So, Alex, he is right, though. | ||
| He has a lot to cover because he has not covered... | ||
| He hasn't done anything up to this point. | ||
| Not really. | ||
| But make noises. | ||
| No, he's complained about a few things. | ||
| He's made a lot of noises. | ||
| He's talked some shit, but not really covered these stories. | ||
| Boy, do I have a lot of stuff to cover here. | ||
| I don't know how anybody could ever claim there's a slow news day. | ||
| It's the opposite. | ||
| I'm like a guy that loves steak, and there's like a hundred perfectly cooked, delicious, mouth-watering ribeyes, porterhouses, New York strips sizzling in front of me, ready to be gobbled. | ||
| But at the end of the day, I'm like, wow, how am I going to eat all this? | ||
| Because I really, you know, I just want to eat one. | ||
| I want to eat like a 25-ounce ribeye. | ||
| Or maybe a 30-ounce porterhouse. | ||
| And I, because, you know, this is all coffin nails in the water. | ||
| This is what it looks like when they are in free fall collapse. | ||
| But at the same time, I did pretty good. | ||
| I took a few deep breaths at the start of the show, I told you, and I did a good job. | ||
| But this is hard. | ||
| In what way? | ||
| Because I'm not going to just cover the surface of these things. | ||
| Let me tell you something. | ||
| When the Senate puts out a report like that, it makes the top of my head a blow-off. | ||
| Just eat the fucking steak already, man. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Stop with these metaphors. | ||
| He already made the exact same simile earlier in the show when he said there's all these beautiful women in front of you and you got a day to fuck all of them or whatever he's saying. | ||
| He's already done this exact same thought path, and now he's just rambling about steaks. | ||
| Sometimes I think you can see a brain just go like, we're not going to allow this. | ||
| We got a hard reset. | ||
| Like the moment he was like, you know, I could just... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, we got to get to this thing. | |
| You're like, I knew your brain wasn't going to allow you to just say that without consequence. | ||
| I realize that I have been... | ||
| Really killing fucking time today. | ||
| So I'm going to say, who could say that this is a slow news day? | ||
| I have so much to cover. | ||
| That is why I have... | ||
| Oh, it's so hard, my brain hurts. | ||
| Yeah, that pause was pregnant with triplets. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So we still have no idea what the stupid weather weapon story is that he started the show off with, and in the intervening time, we've mostly just got stream of consciousness bullshit about human trafficking and how highly Alex thinks of himself. | ||
| And now, we've looped all the way back to him insisting that the problem is he's got too many juicy stories in front of him. | ||
| If I say nothing else, I will say that this act is unconvincing. | ||
| Also, that report that he's talking about, the 600-page one, it wasn't put out by the Senate, it was put out by the House, which Alex should know, because his idiot friend Marjorie was a part of it. | ||
| He should know where she is. | ||
| But oh well. | ||
| Well, he just doesn't touch on the surface of things. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, you gotta go deep. | ||
| That's why it hurts. | ||
| Such an idiot. | ||
| So you're just killing time here. | ||
| By the way, I'm not doing this to be dramatic right now. | ||
| I've still got such a big adrenaline, endorphin rush. | ||
| I would imagine if Star Wars was real, you know, when they're, see the Death Star blow up, 10 seconds before they get blown up, imagine, I think you'd kind of get a little high for a minute. | ||
| I mean, this is like, Death Stars, Death Stars. | ||
| It's like, oh, oh. | ||
| And then I start thinking, extrapolating out what that means, and I'm just like, oh, oh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, oh my goodness. | |
| Oh, God is so good. | ||
| Thank you, Lord. | ||
| Oh, please, God, protect the children. | ||
| Please, please, please, please. | ||
| Who are we praying to now? | ||
| Oh, my goodness. | ||
| All right. | ||
| And also what I'm doing is usually I look at the stack and I already have this big database of info I want to go over, and then now I just got off into this high-as-a-kite thing, and I'm only on coffee and water and haven't even eaten a day. | ||
| And I'm not a hard drug user. | ||
| I can't really say. | ||
| I'm high right now. | ||
| High on life. | ||
| High on victory. | ||
| High on the excitement of being a man in the arena. | ||
| Engaged with all these other men and women in the arena. | ||
| Battling tyranny. | ||
| It's so epic. | ||
| It's so delicious. | ||
| It's so fulfilling. | ||
| It's so real. | ||
| It's so what we need to be. | ||
| Oh! | ||
| Oh, thank you, God. | ||
| I just want to thank God. | ||
| I want to pray right now to God. | ||
| I just can't even do it because I'm just already praying right now to God. | ||
| That's what's happening. | ||
| Okay, let me get control of myself here. | ||
| It's information overload. | ||
| See, I was totally ready for the next attack, the next three stacks that all tie together. | ||
| They all tie together, but these really tie together in a particular area. | ||
| And then I went to break and started reading this, and I just was like, hmm. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Let me just do this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, that's good. | ||
| Let's play Trump calls for execution of human traffickers. | ||
| Yeah, let's just reset with that. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| You could not be more killing time than this. | ||
| Okay, so if I'm teaching, my wife's a teacher, and she's alright, so she doesn't do book reports, but imagine I'm doing a book report, and I have a student who's trying to filibuster all the way to the bell, and he reaches the bell, and he goes, ha ha, suckers, gives me a little salute and walks out. | ||
| I'm just saying, like, we're doing this next period. | ||
| The next time you come into this classroom, you are going to continue going. | ||
| I feel like that did happen in a class that I was... | ||
| That feels familiar to me, whether it was on Saved by the Bell or whether it happened in my real life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, right, right. | |
| But in this case, my will is iron because we're on class period number 55. 900-something. | ||
| I'm just gonna let you keep going, man. | ||
| The bell can ring however many times you want. | ||
| I'll be 55 by the time you're done with this book report, but God is my witness! | ||
| You're gonna get to the fucking news. | ||
| Fucking Jesus Christ, man! | ||
| See, I went the other direction when you were imagining a scenario where you were a teacher. | ||
| Because I would, if I had a kid who did that in my class, who was waiting out for the bell or whatever. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| The next class period, I would play them this, and I'd be like, that's what you look like. | ||
| Ooh, okay. | ||
| I would shame them. | ||
| You try and shame them. | ||
| Ah, that's tough. | ||
| Because even a kid, I think, would be embarrassed by, like, this is what you look like when you're wasting this time and not getting the assignment done. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Shame's a powerful tool on children. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| That can fuck somebody up forever. | ||
| You look like Alex Jones. | ||
| What if it turns him into Alex, and you've inadvertently created the next one? | ||
| You know, you're right. | ||
| There are downsides to this strategy. | ||
| It can go wrong. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, earlier in the show, we heard that Alex, you know, he wants Trump to be able to use the military as domestic police force. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| And so he talks a little bit more about that and says something that I think is insane. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Democrat senators urge Biden to try to limit Trump's ability to use the U.S. military domestically. | ||
| And they have that on CNN at the Pentagon's meeting. | ||
| And preparing to not follow illegal orders for the National Guard or the military to aid ICE. | ||
|
unidentified
|
ICE. | |
| Now, I already did a whole hour on this last week, but we've had lawyers on to agree with me. | ||
| It's a fact that, and you look at what Eisenhower did and other presidents, he could call out the regular army. | ||
| He could call the Marines out. | ||
| They have before. | ||
| But no, it's just going to be the feds and a lot of jurisdictions that are going to help them. | ||
| It's a federal duty. | ||
| It's constitutional. | ||
| One of the three main duties of the federal government. | ||
| It's in the damn Constitution. | ||
| Go look it up. | ||
| The Declaration of Independence is all about controlling illegal aliens. | ||
| Go read it. | ||
| I mean, that's July 4th. | ||
| Folks, heard of that day? | ||
| That was one of their biggest beefs. | ||
| It wasn't about a 3% tea tax. | ||
| That was just one thing they went after as an example. | ||
| What? | ||
| Did you know that? | ||
| Did you know that the Declaration of Independence is mostly about Alex's whining complaints about immigration? | ||
| I think, I mean, in essence, the Declaration of Independence is the same as declaring yourself an illegal alien. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hmm. | |
| In many ways, yes. | ||
| Would you like to do a book report on it? | ||
| I feel like I have to. | ||
| I think I could filibuster for a lot of years on this one. | ||
| So on the list of complaints about the king, In the Declaration of Independence. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| This is the seventh. | ||
| Quote, he has endeavored to prevent the population of these states for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners, refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising conditions for new appropriations of lands. | ||
| The writers of the Declaration of Independence were mad that the king was preventing immigration to the colonies, mostly because he didn't want a population drained from England. | ||
| The colonists wanted more immigration, Alex wants less, but they do come together in their desire for the immigrants to be white. | ||
| Their definition of white would probably be a bit different, though, but let's not get bogged down. | ||
| It's an amazing thing for Alex to say that the Declaration of Independence is mostly about controlling illegal aliens. | ||
| You have to really think that your audience is stupid or really racist to feel comfortable saying something like that. | ||
| Also, while we're on the subject, why did Eisenhower do what he did exactly? | ||
| When he sent federal troops into Arkansas, why was that? | ||
| It's because the Supreme Court had ruled that public schools had to be desegregated, and the governor of Arkansas was trying to use the National Guard to score political points by blocking black students from entering Central High School in Little Rock. | ||
| This was for the 1957-58 school year, and black students were allowed to go to public schools thanks to the federal government, stopping the governor from stopping them. | ||
| And then the governor, Orville Forbus, just closed Little Rock high schools for the next school year. | ||
| I'll tell you what, the fact that no one got a free public education that year certainly didn't help bring people together. | ||
| Anyway, Alex would absolutely not have supported Eisenhower's actions at the time, and most of his intellectual and political inspirations were directly on the side fighting for segregation. | ||
| Most of his heroes are John Birch Society weirdos who had a fair amount of overlap with the George Wallace supporters and his campaign staff, so this is a load of bullshit. | ||
| Also, Orville Faubus. | ||
| What a name. | ||
| Man. | ||
| Orville. | ||
| Back in the day, they just allowed him to keep having that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He just woke up every day with that name and just... | ||
| Was fine. | ||
| And determined himself to be racist as shit. | ||
| I mean, you know, you get a name like that, you really don't have that many options in life. | ||
| Orville Faubus. | ||
| Like, you know, if your name is Paul Atreides, you've got about as many options as you do if your name is Orville Faubus. | ||
| Faubus. | ||
| You're gonna be a bad guy. | ||
| It's Orville with an A, too. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| Jesus, what parents hated him? | ||
| He had a Faubia-esque bargain. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| No. | ||
| So, um... | ||
| This next clip is just stupid, but it's kind of fun. | ||
| They're going to have Democrat governors, Newsom's already said this, even secede. | ||
| And by the way, I talked, I didn't break this last week because I wanted to make some more calls. | ||
| I talked to some folks in Silicon Valley that are well-placed, and they told me specifically about mayors and city councils that they've been in the meetings with, that have been in the meetings with Newsom, where they are planning to basically have California secede. | ||
| They won't call it that, but that's what it'll be in the fine print. | ||
| California's gonna secede in the fine print. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| So it's like, they're not gonna look like... | ||
| I don't know what that means. | ||
| It's not gonna look like they seceded. | ||
| But on a technicality. | ||
| That doesn't... | ||
| But what does that mean? | ||
| Okay, so fine. | ||
| So fine, they do that. | ||
| But does that mean, like, when they get sued by somebody for being too much a part of the United States, they'll be like, ah-ha-ha, we seceded, actually. | ||
| Well, they would have to be getting sued for being too much not a part of the United States, right? | ||
| No. | ||
| Because then they could prove in court, I am not part of the United States. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Look at the fine print. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| That's going to be rough. | ||
| Dumb, some might say. | ||
| Also, at that point, it does feel a little silly to go to a judge and have them be like, aha, you have adjudicated. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| We don't recognize your judge law. | ||
| I'll be damned. | ||
| We're not part of this country. | ||
| Yeah, who is the fine print binding? | ||
| Yeah, for whom? | ||
| Is one question. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Second question, I guess if I had to really play this out in my mind, the only reason to do this would be like... | ||
| We want to secede, but we also want to be sneaky about it because we don't want to piss anyone off. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it would just be to avoid confrontation, I guess. | ||
| Yeah, once you secede, then the fine print is a treaty between two nations. | ||
| Right. | ||
| But it also, like, passport control would have to drastically shift. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Like, there's a lot of things that are just, like, fundamental day-to-day things that would stop happening. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you can't just fine print that shit. | ||
| It would take a while. | ||
| Everyone would also notice. | ||
| Like, Brexit took for fucking ever. | ||
| There's a lot of fine print. | ||
| It didn't happen on day one. | ||
| They really made a meal out of it. | ||
| And it's gone great so far from what I've heard. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No issues. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| I just love the idea of secession in the fine print. | ||
| I do, too. | ||
| So Alex descends into what I would describe as a very long plug, and we're going to join it in media res. | ||
| And a lot of the brands are just raw sea moss. | ||
| This is the equivalent of 40 grams per serving, two capsules, of Irish sea moss in a serving. | ||
| 40 grams is a lot. | ||
| I want to be clear that this is a couple of minutes into the plug. | ||
| And that's just one of the ingredients in it. | ||
| The burdock root, the bladder rack, not pretty names, but powerful. | ||
| They all go together synergistically. | ||
| You want to take it. | ||
| You want to experience it. | ||
| And you go become a member, $30 a month, and then you get $10 extra, $40, and you get your... | ||
| Seamoss every month. | ||
| And then you check out the t-shirts and the knives, a bunch of new products are getting added, and you come back, and that's, you know, wow. | ||
| You know, Jeff Bezos is working with Bill Gates to inject a mutinogenic compound into all the cows where they don't produce methane anymore. | ||
| So that'll, quote, save the earth. | ||
| Of course, it screws up their guts and screws up the meat. | ||
| Why are you supporting him? | ||
| If you start shopping with the Patriots, if you start shopping with people that are fighting the tyrants, you will build the new economy. | ||
| They're so scared of that. | ||
| Separately, then I'm going to go into more news here and get into it all. | ||
| And I want to cover it. | ||
| It's just so much. | ||
| Just go home! | ||
| Because I refuse to just cover the surface. | ||
| But that's better than not covering it. | ||
| No, it's not! | ||
| That's your argument! | ||
| But it's important. | ||
| That's what you say! | ||
| I don't like it. | ||
| You say that! | ||
| Separately, my dad's a great supplement company. | ||
| DrJoseNadrills.com, whatever happens to InfoWars, the AlexShoneStore.com, the DrJoseNadrills.com, not owned by me. | ||
| They can't get our sponsors. | ||
| They can't shut down our sponsors. | ||
| That means they can't shut me down. | ||
| He doesn't own those companies. | ||
| All right. | ||
| It's cool. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| It's very cool. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| I wonder about the argument that pretending to be about to cover really important stuff is better than just covering the surface. | ||
| I think competently covering the surface might be more helpful than doing this. | ||
| I disagree, but in the larger sense. | ||
| The people listening are not going to be better... | ||
| For the rest of us, if they have a cursory surface-level understanding, if they have no understanding of anything but noises, that's probably for the better. | ||
| Here's where I'm going to disagree with that. | ||
| I think that if you have a fundamentally sound ability to deal with the surface and information that is on the surface... | ||
| You are more likely to explore deeper on your own and possibly deal with whatever information you find in a competent way. | ||
| Whereas if all you understand is sounds, but you think that you have wisdom bestowed upon you by God, I don't know if you can handle anything. | ||
| I don't know if you can responsibly handle- You can handle sounds. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| See? | ||
| Well, yeah. | ||
| Better for all of us. | ||
| Now, here's where it gets messy. | ||
| Fair. | ||
| All words are as sounds. | ||
| Oh, shit! | ||
| Motherfucker! | ||
| This whole thing just got blown wide open! | ||
| So, I think that if you can competently deal with sound, what you're saying is that the emotions your sounds evoke are true to what you're trying to grunt out. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And we have become disconnected from that. | ||
| I don't think they can handle sounds! | ||
| Yeah, I think that's what we've learned. | ||
| I don't trust them with sounds. | ||
| I think we've gone too far down the rabbit hole to even allow them sounds. | ||
| But I think that we started earlier off in the episode with Alex not really understanding how silly his impressions sound. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| So maybe we don't trust them with sounds. | ||
| I don't think they can have sounds either. | ||
| I think it is purely... | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| It's gotta be American Sign Language. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| I have one jingoistic belief in me and that's that American Sign Language is the top sign language. | ||
| Burdock root. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| You know what another ingredient of that was? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Orville Forbus. | ||
| Orville Forbus. | ||
| Oh, it's Orville Forbus! | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| We got one more clip here. | ||
| All right. | ||
| And, spoiler alert, we don't get to the weather weapons story. | ||
| Do we get to Orville Forbus? | ||
| No. | ||
| I brought him into the proceedings and I regret doing it. | ||
| If only. | ||
| But I will say that I believe the weather weapons story that he's talking about is that someone who's in the Florida... | ||
| The state senate introduced a bill to make it illegal to control the weather and do all that stuff. | ||
| So that is a little bit smaller scale than I think Alex is talking about, but I'm not sure. | ||
| He didn't actually cover the story, so I don't know what he was talking about. | ||
| I don't know if you can really legislate controlling the weather. | ||
| I mean, you can just say, no magic. | ||
| I mean, no, that's fair, but see, I'm just saying that once you can control the weather, there's no legality or illegality that's going to stop man from getting crazy with it. | ||
| Sure, but you can't not introduce a bill that says no magic. | ||
| I mean, there's no reason you can't do that. | ||
| I'm saying there's no reason why you- You must. | ||
| We must be. | ||
| I think on a state to by state, is this a state's rights issue? | ||
| How much magic can be used? | ||
| It will become one in the next four years. | ||
| It will have to be. | ||
| No wizards in this state. | ||
| It was brother against mage brother. | ||
| Now, red states are different because we don't like witchcraft here. | ||
| Because we use fire magic. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Blue states are water magic, goddammit! | ||
| It's- Really obvious. | ||
| It's not that high. | ||
| So, anyway, here's Alex covering a story. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| By the way, in California, Attorney General urges snitches to report stores without gender-neutral children's sections. | ||
| That's beyond grooming. | ||
| Oh, my God, you've got a girl's section with dolls and stuff, and you've got a boy's section over here. | ||
| The mind control, the level of that social engineering, and then the snitching. | ||
| And don't use the word mother or father, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| I mean, that's a cult. | ||
| And we know that $500 fines when you don't have all of it mixed together. | ||
| As if any parent doesn't take their sons and daughters to the toy store. | ||
| Or when you go to the hardware, you know, the grocery store, you go to the drugstore and your child goes, let me look at the toy aisle. | ||
| It's just they don't look at all of it. | ||
| And then your daughter... | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| Toy, little toy robot, and she also wants the doll. | ||
| And you just get them what they want because they did their chores for the week. | ||
| And then your son, he wants the Hot Wheels and the toy gun. | ||
| And the boys never want the doll. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Even if they're raves in a single home, unless the mothers try to make them. | ||
| Now, the little girls, they like everything. | ||
| What is happening? | ||
| You look at my youngest daughter. | ||
| You look at her toy boxes and stuff, it's frisbees and footballs and dart guns and dolls and blocks and... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got three daughters and a son. | |
| The sons never want the girl toys. | ||
| The little girls want all the toys. | ||
| Especially if their father sits down and shows them how much fun it is to... | ||
| No, she wants to spend time with you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Take her fishing. | ||
| For God's sakes. | ||
| Alex is so close to getting that the sample he's generalizing on with his kids, they all have one thing in common, and that is that their dad is a fragile-ass chauvinist who clings desperately to the way that he publicly demonstrates his masculinity. | ||
| Maybe in that scenario, his son would be discouraged from embracing anything that his angry father considered feminine, whereas his daughters would be encouraged to respect and revere traditionally masculine things. | ||
| Maybe he's laying out an amazing case that his influence is driving his children away from valuing feminine things. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| You know, if you leave off the part where the little boys don't like that. | ||
| Dot, dot, dot. | ||
| Because I hit them. | ||
| That'll change things. | ||
| That changes the context around your statement maybe a little bit. | ||
| Well, we know from when he was talking to Chase that he doesn't have to hit his kids. | ||
| He just screams at them. | ||
| Yeah, well, I mean, that's true. | ||
| So we know that. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| That's not scary. | ||
| The way he can physically expel air at people is very similar to the fail of a spank. | ||
| What is that hero? | ||
| Banshee? | ||
| Banshee sounds right. | ||
| You can use sound. | ||
| Or you could just go with direct the ghost Banshee. | ||
| So I think we were covering a story there before Alex got off on his tangent about his children. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So the California Attorney General put out a press release that did warn holiday shoppers that they are welcome to report stores that don't have gender-neutral children's sections. | ||
| This isn't because of some woke agenda or anything, though. | ||
| If you read the press release, this is part of AB1287, which banned businesses from engaging in what they call a, quote, pink tea. | ||
| This is the practice of taking identical products and marketing one to women at a higher rate, which you do see a lot if you pay attention. | ||
| As an extension of this bill, they passed AB1084, which required department stores to have gender-neutral children's departments so consumers could more easily identify instances of these price differences. | ||
| If they would like to. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| These stores can also still have a boys and girls section if they want to. | ||
| There's nothing that bans them from doing it. | ||
| They're just required to have a gender neutral section as part of consumer protection. | ||
| Alex legit needs to fucking grow up. | ||
| I think just everybody's doing a great job. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Everybody involved. | ||
| Everybody's making perfect sense. | ||
| You know who's not? | ||
| The fucking Joker. | ||
| That guy's a punk. | ||
| Man, I'll tell you what. | ||
| He's making more and more sense. | ||
| So I thought it was fun to make a little return, jump back in, and see Alex waste all of the time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This was a monumental spectacle of a guy who does not want to get to the point. | ||
| It's hard to wrap one's head around the dedication that it would require to do it for this long. | ||
| And I'm just, again, I just think everybody involved is doing a great job. | ||
| Cheers. | ||
| I think it's awesome that he's on the air. | ||
| I think everybody's doing, just high fives all around. | ||
| Valuable work being done by a competent person who is totally sober. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Anyway, we'll be back for another episode. | ||
| 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. | ||
