Hello, Alex. | |
| I'm a first time caller. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| Hey everybody, welcome back to Knowledge Fight, I'm Dan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm Jordan. | |
| We're a couple dudes like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| Oh, indeed we are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dan. | |
| Jordan. | ||
| Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Quick question for you. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| What's your bright spot today, buddy? | ||
| My bright spot is there's a new season of the Old People Challenge. | ||
| Ooh, that's right. | ||
| The Challenge All Stars. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| They're rivals. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're in teams of rivals. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| I think that... | ||
| There's a concern that I have that rival-based seasons, where you have to team with your arch-rival, they tend to bring out petty drama. | ||
| Definitely. | ||
| And one of the things that I've liked about the old people challenge is people are a little more seasoned. | ||
| They're a little more grown up sometimes. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. | ||
| And I worry that those two things are going to work against each other. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You know, like old people being mature is not aided by... | ||
| You have to work with the person you hate. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| That is interesting. | ||
| Although, I mean, maybe that's the ultimate test of maturity. | ||
| It could be. | ||
| Maybe we've been spoiled because they haven't been put to the crucible of actually being mature in a situation with the person who makes them most immature. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Maybe it'll be a series of people overcoming their differences and squashing beefs and growing up. | ||
| That would be every single episode is a special episode. | ||
| If it was, I'd be fine with that. | ||
| Everyone working out their differences. | ||
| That would be an interesting show. | ||
| It would be. | ||
| While you jump off a building. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Married in 24 hours or less kind of thing. | ||
| Interesting cast, I guess. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's fine. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I didn't recognize a few of the people, and I've seen every season of the show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I know. | |
| There were some people where I was like, I really think you guys might just be... | ||
| I didn't even really remember Frank. | ||
| If they just put somebody on there and were like, this person's been on the challenge and we're just really strong about it, I think I would believe them, even if they weren't. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think I would just buy it. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So they could lie to me. | ||
| Yeah, why not? | ||
| I also don't know that I thought that Devin and Leroy were enemies. | ||
| We talked a little bit in a little bit, but this might be a setup to get Leroy the win. | ||
| I think that the two of them are a very strong combination. | ||
| Devin's got so many other people who would be his arch rival. | ||
| So many! | ||
| He's not not made any enemies. | ||
| He's pissed off everybody. | ||
| I guess Bananas wasn't available, maybe. | ||
| He could be injured from the Real People Challenge. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Anyway, it's nice that that just started right back up. | ||
| What's your bright spot? | ||
| That we have year-round challenges. | ||
| It's America's fifth sport. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It does seem like they're saying that. | |
| No, The Weeknd has a new album out. | ||
| The Weeknd without the E? | ||
| Without the E. The Weeknd. | ||
| It's quite good. | ||
| It's very good. | ||
| I thought people didn't like him. | ||
| Do people not like him? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh! | |
| I don't know. | ||
| I feel like there was a turn on The Weeknd. | ||
| Well, so The Weeknd's career, the thing I like about the album is that it reminds me of the early days. | ||
| Back whenever he did House of Balloons. | ||
| I can't feel my face when I'm with you. | ||
| No, way back. | ||
| Way back in the very beginning, whenever people didn't even know who he was. | ||
| He was just The Weeknd. | ||
| And you didn't know he had a name. | ||
| And maybe he was from somewhere, but maybe he wasn't. | ||
| He could be anybody. | ||
| That kind of thing. | ||
| He was very mysterious. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| And he had real... | ||
| Still dirty kind of songs that were sexy, but in like a, oh, this is a Coke-filled, like, this is the bad night where you've had too much Coke and you woke up and you're like, ah, this is no good. | ||
| It's dirty, it's a little dangerous, but you survived. | ||
| Yeah, and then he turned into the halftime show, Super Bowl, Michael Jackson. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, trying to do that thing. | ||
| This is kind of more a return back to the dirty sexy. | ||
| I wonder if... | ||
| That was prompted by people not liking him. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| I don't know anything about the guy, honestly. | ||
| Starboy was a pretty good album. | ||
| Motherfucking Starboy. | ||
| But that was like ten years ago. | ||
| Was that him? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I've heard that song in a fucking Walgreens. | ||
| That's the advantage of having the relationship with music that I do, is that I've heard everything in a Target or something, but I have no idea who sings it. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| That's perfect. | ||
| That's the way to go. | ||
| There's like a ton of the sort of college rocky kind of songs. | ||
| I'll hear a song, but I have no idea who did that. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| I'm free. | ||
| Back in the day whenever you used to have to know. | ||
| Brutal days. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Brutal days. | |
| You're just held back by that knowledge. | ||
| Don't need to give a shit anymore. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| So now my knowledge is all about Alex Jones. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| And today we'll be taking a little journey through January 23rd, 2025. | ||
| Wonderful. | ||
| As we continue the march of the time after the inauguration. | ||
| Where Alex is really getting into the weeds and all of the major things that... | ||
| Trump is doing. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| So we'll see what he has to say today. | ||
| But first, let's take a little moment to say hello to some new wonks. | ||
| Ooh, that's a great idea. | ||
| So first, Taco Bell presents the Anunnaki Supreme. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| Thank you! | ||
| Next, Five Iron Frenzy rules and Scott will never die. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| Next, shout out to my girlfriend Emily. | ||
| Also, has Dan made his own mustard? | ||
| He seems like the type. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much! | ||
| Listen. | ||
| Have you made your own mustard? | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| But I did explore it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I did... | ||
| It's on the table. | ||
| No, not anymore. | ||
| Not anymore? | ||
| No, but there was a short stretch of time where I was like, it wouldn't be that hard. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Vinegar. | |
| Mustard. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You know. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I could tweak a few things here and I just never followed through. | ||
| Same with making my own Giardinera. | ||
| I was going to do that. | ||
| Yes, I do remember that. | ||
| It was too many steps. | ||
| It's like four steps. | ||
| That's too many steps. | ||
| We also got a technocrat in the mix, Jordan. | ||
| So thank you so much, too. | ||
| Steph says that if she doesn't get the new technocrat drop back, she will go Donkey Kong, King Kong crazy in an amount of time yet to be determined. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a technocrat. | ||
| This might be the right one. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| I don't like to hype things, but people are designed to hype. | ||
| I am going to paint once a week on air, and I'm going to let callers call in. | ||
| We'll also take emails and request what you want to see me paint. | ||
| One, two, three, Matt Damon! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Matt Damon! | |
| There you go. | ||
| Party time. | ||
| I'm going to get in your guts. | ||
| And the Nazis, in my view, were thugs that shook people down to a lot of really bad things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But they did good things, too. | |
| We're going to stop dissing the Nazis all the time. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm thinking about doing some shows, too, where I run the whole thing myself, just hit record, and sit in the dark with just a few candles and candlelight and talk about the nature of the world universe. | ||
| I mean, you know, a big old juicy ribeye, folks, is as good as, you know, sex with your wife. | ||
| I mean, let's just get down to reality here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm going to go Donkey Kong, King Kong crazy. | |
| In about 45 days. | ||
| America sucks. | ||
| We're all racist. | ||
| It's over. | ||
| Doesn't mean I want to go live, say, in some places in Asia, where you get off the plane over there, folks, they karate chop you. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| I forgot which drop was which, and they're not labeled well. | ||
| No, you nailed it, though. | ||
| Yeah, I got lucky. | ||
| I got lucky. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| That song, Up All Night to Get Lucky, that was the weekend, right? | ||
| No, that was Def Punk. | ||
| I've heard it in a Walgreens. | ||
| Well, there you go. | ||
| So, today, we start off here. | ||
| With Alex and Trump. | ||
| He did a little appearance. | ||
| Made a little appearance at Davos. | ||
| Oh, what? | ||
| Wait, what? | ||
| Gave a little speech remotely at Davos. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| And so this is big, and Alex is thrilled about it. | ||
| Oh, those are air raid sirens. | ||
| And I've aired those for years when we are in danger like the sword's sting glows when goblins are near. | ||
| But the air raid sirens toll. | ||
| Like the bell tolling for the globalist. | ||
| I watched Trump's 18-minute speech, and then the press conference, as of minutes ago, was still going at Davos. | ||
| Oh, having adrenaline rushes and endorphin dumps right now. | ||
| I'm higher than a kite. | ||
| No drugs needed. | ||
| And he just declared them defeated. | ||
| Told them their plan to collapse the planet and starve everybody is over. | ||
| He said that their New World Order is dead. | ||
| This is fabulous. | ||
| Because the repudiation of their system alone energizes our movement from super light speed to warp speed. | ||
| So Trump didn't say much of that stuff. | ||
| I don't know how much Alex watched, but I sat through the full 45 minutes, including the question and answer segment, and I didn't come away with the impression that he was telling them that their new world order system was dead. | ||
| If anything, I think the tone was collegial and it involved Trump discussing how they're all going to do a lot of business in the coming years. | ||
| Good, good. | ||
| In Alex's head and the version of Trump he's built up for the audience to worship, this is a guy who would storm into Davos and tell them all to get lost. | ||
| He would upend the whole thing because it was a corrupt system and he was the redeemer. | ||
| But that didn't happen. | ||
| He gave a speech about his policy ideas, was very polite to the rich elites he's friends with, and then took questions for half an hour. | ||
| The problem is that Alex still needs to maintain the image he's built up for the audience, so despite this being a fairly boring speech Trump gave at the central power hub of the globalists, and the fact that Klaus Schwab literally introduced Trump on stage, Alex has to tell the story as Trump going in there loaded for bear, but it's all just an illusion. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| It feels like just, like, not only should he not be giving a speech there... | ||
| Or if he was giving a speech there, it should be cover for arresting all of those people and... | ||
| Yeah, it should be a trap. | ||
| Yeah, isn't that what Alex wants it to be? | ||
| Like, there should be a giant trap door underneath all of their seats where Trump goes, ha-ha, I've come to say hello, and then they'll fall. | ||
| Well, and that would only make even more sense because Trump did it remotely. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He wasn't even there, so he could have said... | ||
| There'd be like a gas thing that comes down. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Everyone's unconscious. | ||
| Perfect time for it. | ||
| Yeah, but no. | ||
| Instead, Trump actually started the speech, I believe, with a thing of like... | ||
| Yeah, I would have come. | ||
| I would have liked to come. | ||
| I would have loved to be there, but, you know, it's so close after the inauguration, I think it would have looked bad. | ||
| That kind of thing. | ||
| Fair! | ||
| My base wouldn't have allowed me to go travel to Switzerland. | ||
| That's genuinely a very funny thing to say. | ||
| I think that was what he was trying to get across. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, boy. | |
| Well, I mean, it's true. | ||
| So this next clip, I'm not exactly sure what happens in it. | ||
| I've forgotten. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because Alex is having this adrenaline rush. | ||
| He's higher than a kite. | ||
| And my label here is just, Alex makes a bunch of gross noises. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Great! | |
| So prepare yourself for that. | ||
| I am ready. | ||
| We had clips yesterday of the day most groups sing. | ||
| They've lost. | ||
| The whole world hates them. | ||
| There's new clips today! | ||
| They're actually groveling. | ||
| So, I just got a supercharge. | ||
| I mean... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm sorry. | |
| This is not an act right now. | ||
| I can't do the show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. | ||
| I'll have what he's having. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| They're dying right now. | ||
| Their grip has been loosed. | ||
| Cool. | ||
| And now we're going to rip their arms politically, lovingly, non-violently out of their sockets and gouge their eyeballs out with ice picks. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Alright. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Very interesting. | ||
| Hmm. | ||
| You want to see my war face, New World Order? | ||
| You're gonna see it! | ||
| I have thrown my full will against them for 31 years! | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you can mark this day as their tombstone. | |
| That's only about 10% of how wild I can get. | ||
| The real Alex Jones. | ||
| All right, why don't we go for 20 then, dickweed? | ||
| Ooh, boy. | ||
| So that was his... | ||
| Let's see 20. That was his war face and his O face. | ||
| That was great. | ||
| Can you imagine being someone who just works at the office there or something and walking past the studio and he's like... | ||
|
unidentified
|
How stupid do you have to feel? | |
| It does have the same feel of if you're walking past and you've got a brown bag, you'd look at it and then throw it in the garbage can. | ||
| You'd be like, oh, I gotta quit. | ||
| It shows a hell of a day to... | ||
| Ridiculous. | ||
| Ridiculous. | ||
| Like, there's IT people who work there. | ||
| There's, you know, just normal people who probably don't care at all what Alex is saying. | ||
| And you just walk past the studio and he's, like, coming on air. | ||
| Yeah, sometimes I think about... | ||
| Coming, like, violently and stately. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| No, no, no. | ||
| Terrifyingly. | ||
| Yeah, no. | ||
| Have you ever seen the, like, directors for an NFL broadcast? | ||
| They'll do those things where they go behind the scenes and there's somebody who's got, like, 15 different shots Like, hey, can we go to camera three during... | ||
|
unidentified
|
You'd be like... | |
| I would just be sitting there like, Alex, mistime the commercial. | ||
| Can we go to a soft yellow light for this? | ||
| This growl is going a little long. | ||
| So they go to commercial, it comes back, and we got some rock. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cup. | |
| It's alive. | ||
| Ecclesiastically. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Our hands firmly around their necks. | |
| And now, with will and determination, we squeeze and press those carotid arteries in and squeeze. | ||
| Stop the blood from flowing and look into their eyes and say, you want to destroy humanity? | ||
| You want to poison and kill our children? | ||
| You want to destroy our destiny? | ||
| No! | ||
| You will die! | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, maybe we should turn the top of the nail so I can behave myself. | |
| I'd give Trump about a What is happening? | ||
| That's what you fucking got after that? | ||
| What the fuck was that? | ||
| Violent murder fantasies. | ||
| Weird noise. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, I was... | |
| At least somebody's happy, I guess. | ||
| I'm amazed. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| I thought it was a little early in the show for this. | ||
| He was getting pretty deep into growly fantasies and shit a little earlier. | ||
| It's just that adrenaline that you get when you see Trump give a boring speech at Davos. | ||
| But thankfully, as the show goes on, the adrenaline wears off a little. | ||
| Now the massive endorphin dump, the strongest I've ever had, hopefully it's dissipated a lot, but I'm still just... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cross-eyed right now Mm-hmm Thank you, God. | |
| Because I just, I mean, we're being destroyed by these people. | ||
| I mean, they have killed so many of our people. | ||
| They have wounded and abused us. | ||
| They have poisoned the daylights out of us. | ||
| They have just done evils that are so unspeakable right out in the open, normalizing it. | ||
| And they were trying to break our will and flip us into Stockholm Syndrome, all of us, and just make us give up. | ||
| And instead, to see humanity rise, the sleeping giant awaken, with laser beams shooting out of its eyes, is just beyond ecstasy and satisfaction. | ||
| And to really, really, really, really, really, really process that. | ||
| Oh, my heart, my guts, my brain, my bones, even my old injuries just to feel so good. | ||
| Now it's pleasure coming out. | ||
| What? | ||
| And my shattered arthritic hand, my leg, now it's pulsing with pleasure. | ||
| I mean, this is a seismic spiritual flipping right now. | ||
| It happened this morning in the last hour. | ||
| I could feel it. | ||
| They go, hey, you know, he's about to speak. | ||
| And I'm like, yeah, I knew that. | ||
| It's going to be great. | ||
| I was already, like, trying to cover the news, trying to research, and I was just, like, pacing around. | ||
| Because I felt a disturbance in the force. | ||
| A good one. | ||
| The best. | ||
| Trump has made my pain pleasure. | ||
| What is happening? | ||
| It's pretty nuts. | ||
| Okay, okay, okay. | ||
| Maybe, maybe the idea of the God King who was born, who is... | ||
| Prophecied to take down these very people, going to them hat in hand, being like, hey, buds, love ya, is enough to prompt an absolute psychotic break. | ||
| It could be. | ||
| I also have another theory on this. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That will pay off in, like, probably our next episode. | ||
| I'm withholding a little card that I don't know if I... | ||
| Maybe I should just go ahead and tell you. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He does have a bit of a welt on his forehead, and he apparently, like, ran into a door in the middle of the night. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So he might be concussed. | |
| All of this might just be... | ||
|
unidentified
|
He seems just physically incapable of doing his job right now. | |
| He might actually have head trauma. | ||
| You know, that was not even like, oh, this could be anything. | ||
| Head trauma should be specific. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Head trauma should be, yeah. | ||
| It was, it's, yeah, there's... | ||
| On the next day's show, at very least, there's a very noticeable welt on his forehead. | ||
| If you have head trauma and nobody can tell if your behavior is different, that's probably a sign you need something else to happen. | ||
| When you have head trauma and people are like, he's a... | ||
| A little different. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe? | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Do you have an extra cup of coffee? | ||
| Maybe he's just a little on it today. | ||
| That's not good. | ||
| That's not good. | ||
| Nah. | ||
| So Alex has a guest on the show, and it is not someone who got pardoned for January 6th. | ||
| It is a Canadian fella who saw fit to hire Tommy Robinson and Lauren Southern. | ||
| Good stuff. | ||
| Just great hiring decisions made. | ||
| Pillars of the community. | ||
| By Ezra Levant. | ||
| So he comes in because he went to Davos. | ||
| Oof. | ||
| We asked him if he spoke to Donald Trump since the presidency. | ||
| Real quick. | ||
| He put out a video of him bothering Larry Fink. | ||
| Larry Fink was walking around the streets, and Ezra Levant just followed him around, and Fink did not respond to anything. | ||
| So he's pretty proud of that. | ||
| We asked him 70 questions. | ||
| You know which one I forgot to ask him? | ||
| Was about his former... | ||
| A corporate video star. | ||
| I don't know if you remember this, but the young man who shot President Trump in the ear one inch away from murdering him bizarrely appeared in a BlackRock corporate video. | ||
| And I forgot about that in the heat of the moment. | ||
| I'd forgotten as well. | ||
| And of course, also he famously says we're going to use BlackRock's ESG control to control everybody's behavior. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| And Alex, how it works here is... | ||
| We're not granted official accreditation to be in the inner sanctum. | ||
| So we're outside the security perimeter. | ||
| But every once in a while, a VVIP walks out of the security perimeter and mixes with us peasants. | ||
| So we're sort of on the street waiting for it. | ||
| That's how we got Albert Bourla a couple of years ago. | ||
| That's how Larry Fink came out. | ||
| So the trick is, you recognize someone, you say, is that Larry Fink? | ||
| And you only have... | ||
| A moment to jump into gear and try and come up with questions. | ||
| You guys, let me tell you, you and your crew, Avi, you guys are the best on your feet. | ||
| I would not do that good, actually. | ||
| I mean, you guys just nail them and nail them and nail them. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| You have such an encyclopedic knowledge of this stuff. | ||
| And I'm not sure if you want to play some of it. | ||
| To me, the highlight or the low light of our... | ||
| Walking scrum with Larry Fink. | ||
| I mean, he really said nothing to us. | ||
| We just asked him questions and his bodyguard sort of shoved us around. | ||
| But there was a moment where I was so frustrated because we were following him. | ||
| He takes a picture of you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He stops and he takes out his personal cell phone, aims it right at my face, snap, does the same to Avi Yamini, snap, does it to our cameraman. | ||
| And I'm thinking... | ||
| I mean, we... | ||
| Is he gonna share this with who? | ||
| Is he gonna send this to some attack dog? | ||
| Is he gonna... | ||
| And it was only later that I remembered that that corporate video he made contained, bizarrely... | ||
| The guy who, almost like I was stumbling into some, maybe BlackRock is so big and dark and nefarious that they have sort of a team of wet work experts. | ||
| Oh, there's no doubt about it. | ||
| They got 80-something percent of the world under management. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| So they got a wet work division, and what they do is they put their assassins in videos. | ||
| So it's predictive programming. | ||
| Galactic contract law requires that their wet work assassins be featured in the background. | ||
| Of corporate videos because I think it was like they were shooting at this guy's school. | ||
| I think it was just a random thing. | ||
| But it probably means that Ezra's going to be killed. | ||
| I mean, listen, from what I know of like, you know, you go back at some oil corporations. | ||
| You know, whenever they murder people, they don't use in-house people. | ||
| You get outside help. | ||
| Nobody has an in-house wet work team. | ||
| That's just begging for emails to lead you back to the source. | ||
| I do think it's probably too direct. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| And it would be really insane to put the person in a video years earlier. | ||
| It would be truly absurd. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Just to have a wet work division alone. | ||
| But this kind of thing is like, oh my god, look at this connection. | ||
| This blows people who watch Alex's shit. | ||
| It's the stupidest shit, but it's like, oh my god, this all makes sense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's crazy. | ||
| What office do you have, what office do you set up for the wet work division? | ||
| Uh, the pool. | ||
| It's got a pool? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| No, it is the pool. | ||
| Oh, it is the pool. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Oh, oh, oh, my god, I didn't even get the fucking wet part. | ||
| If it's wet work, you're working wet. | ||
| If it's wet work, you're working in a pool. | ||
| Well done. | ||
| I'm that stupid. | ||
| Apologies. | ||
| Sometimes I'm too literal. | ||
| You beat me. | ||
| Single entendres are tough sometimes. | ||
| Yeah, it's tough. | ||
| Floated right under my head. | ||
| I think that Ezra is not dealing with the fact that he was harassing this man. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And he took a picture of him probably because he was scared. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I would be maybe in that situation too. | ||
| Look, I got no sympathy for Larry Fink, whatever. | ||
| He's a billionaire. | ||
| Fuck it. | ||
| But I do think as a human... | ||
| It makes sense to take a picture of someone who is stalking you. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Just in case. | ||
| Hey, what are you going to do? | ||
| I mean, you know, he's got a bodyguard team. | ||
| He'll probably be fine over Ezra. | ||
| I think so, but Ezra shouldn't take that as some kind of giant threat. | ||
| No, no, definitely not. | ||
| Anyway, Davos, they've got oligarchs there, and they don't really care. | ||
| There's no big deal. | ||
| What's so interesting is... | ||
| They move a little bit with the winds. | ||
| Like, they invited Javier Millet. | ||
| They invited Donald Trump. | ||
| So maybe in some ways they say, well, look, at the end of the day, we're about ideology, but we all like to get super rich. | ||
| So let's hang out with the cool kids, even if we disagree with them. | ||
| It'll be interesting to me to see, and this is one of the questions I put to Larry Fink, is will he abandon his DEI and ESG rules? | ||
| You know how BlackRock operates. | ||
| It invests in... | ||
| I checked it out, and last statistics I can find, BlackRock has $83 billion worth of shares in Alphabet, the parent company of Google and YouTube. | ||
| So what BlackRock does is it buys a company, invests at a massive scale, but then it says to the company it invested in... | ||
| As your large shareholder, we demand that you have these DEI policies. | ||
| We want you to be woke on transgenderism, on global warming, etc. | ||
| So these companies are sort of injected right in their bloodstream with these woke Marxist ideas. | ||
| So they look like billionaires, but they act like Antifa, and BlackRock is the contagion. | ||
| Ah! | ||
| See, that's an interesting construction, and I would love to see some kind of proof for this conspiracy that Ezra's promoting. | ||
| According to him, BlackRock comes in and invests in a company, and then they demand that the company be woke, or else they'll lose the investment that BlackRock put in. | ||
| Here's what I need for him to present for me to even begin to take this seriously. | ||
| I would need to see internal demands from BlackRock to these companies that they go woke, and Ezra repeating DEI and ESG over and over again, that's not going to be enough. | ||
| I need something that demonstrates that the investment and, quote, going woke are connected. | ||
| To make that piece of the argument stronger, I would need to see examples of companies who were not necessarily woke, who took in BlackRock money and then went woke. | ||
| It shouldn't be too difficult to make a timeline if what Ezra is saying is true, so I would welcome him to present that and show it. | ||
| When looking at this argument, you want to try and find a counterexample that might challenge the faulty premises that Ezra is working with. | ||
| According to his thinking, companies that get BlackRock investment have these demands made of them, so they become woke. | ||
| A good counterexample would be a company that he definitely doesn't think is woke at all who has BlackRock investment. | ||
| These guys all love Elon Musk so much, so just take a look at Tesla. | ||
| It turns out BlackRock manages just under 200 million shares of their stock, and if you add that amount to the amounts held by State Street and Vanguard, the total comes up to over 500 million shares. | ||
| This tends to indicate that it's possible to have BlackRock investment in a company and it not be some kind of a woke shakedown. | ||
| Without that premise in place, Ezra's argument kind of falls apart, and it's shown to mean nothing. | ||
| So, good luck, Ezra, and work with that. | ||
| Yeah, you know what? | ||
| And hey, how about this? | ||
| Disregarding the fact that everything that that man just said was fucking insane. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Alright, so now we do have this perception. | ||
| Alright, so now all these companies abandon woke. | ||
| Does that not prove that they're mercenaries who are just in it for the money anyways? | ||
| And if that's the case, if they were always mercenaries who were just in it for the money... | ||
| Then why did you think that they were ideologically bent towards it? | ||
| It was just a money-making thing. | ||
| If they quote-unquote abandoned Woke and BlackRock still is investing in them, then it means the ideology never really meant anything and you were all just fighting ghosts. | ||
| Everybody's insane! | ||
| Well, these people are. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| You know, sometimes it's like, I know when you're lying about something because you want to convince people of some bullshit, but sometimes that stuff's so crazy. | ||
| I think he believes some of that. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| No, I think he does. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| He hired Lauren Southern and Tommy Robinson. | ||
| That's fair. | ||
| He's a piece of shit. | ||
| He is a piece of shit. | ||
| Anyway, here's a sample of this idiot's amazing journalism bothering Larry Fink. | ||
| I'm excited. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who's more powerful, you or President Trump? | |
| Me. | ||
| Oh, sorry, was I not supposed to answer? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why do you think you're so disliked around the world? | |
| Why are so many U.S. states divesting from your ESG schemes? | ||
| Why are you putting your ideology ahead of your investors with ESG, Mr. Fink? | ||
| Isn't that being disloyal to shareholders? | ||
| Putting your ideology ahead of rate of return? | ||
| Why do you think you're above accountability? | ||
| Is it because you're rich? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just feel like walking with him now because he's big, scary bodyguards. | |
| And, I don't know, Ezra, I just want to make it clear I will not kill myself. | ||
| I have no suicidal thoughts either. | ||
| Mr. Fink's taking pictures of me and Avi Amini. | ||
| I think that's meant to intimidate. | ||
| It's a little weird, though. | ||
| It feels a little thin-skinned. | ||
| So this is all Ezra's video is. | ||
| It's just him and his buddy asking Larry Fink mean questions and him not responding. | ||
| Also, it makes total sense for Fink to take their picture, because what Ezra is doing is very much illegal in Switzerland. | ||
| Perhaps Ezra and Alex don't care about things like national sovereignty, but Switzerland has a very different understanding of freedom of speech and press than we do. | ||
| Specifically, in Switzerland, as a member of the public, you have a right to not be photographed without your consent. | ||
| You own the right to your own image, so a person taking your picture has to get permission in order to use it. | ||
| According to Swiss law, Ezra is brazenly harassing Larry Fink, and now he's illegally publishing his image without consent. | ||
| Like, there are even stipulations in Swiss law about, like, if you take a crowd shot, that's okay, but if someone sticks out in that crowd, you have to get that permission. | ||
| If you want to use it, especially in, like, a commercial setting. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| And it's not like Davos is in different places. | ||
| It's the name of a city. | ||
| It's there. | ||
| So this dynamic should be crystal clear. | ||
| It's like, hey, when you're there, you can't photograph people without their permission. | ||
| You know, and it feels like an evolution of the dashboard videos where they're like, I'm about to go through this checkpoint and we're going to see if they're going to respect my Fourth Amendment rights or whatever. | ||
| And then they're just yelling at the guy and he's like... | ||
| Go on through. | ||
| And that's it. | ||
| It's a little disappointing. | ||
| It's anticlimactic for sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| And it's funny because, you know, Ezra and his buddy just badger Larry Fink for minutes on end. | ||
| And Ezra has the gall to come on the show and suggest that... | ||
| I think Larry Fink has a temper. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, this guy does not... | ||
| I think he's got a temper. | ||
| The fact that he abides his bodyguards is one thing, and then taking the photo is another thing. | ||
| Abides his bodyguards. | ||
| I think this guy gets through life as a kind of bully who has never had anyone stand up to him. | ||
| I mean, I know a few billionaires, not closely, but what's so amazing is how everyone around them is so... | ||
| They're incredibly determined to say yes to the billionaire no matter what they want, to make life so easy and smooth for them. | ||
| And so there's a real risk that these billionaires only have yes-men who surround them. | ||
| By the way, Elon, that's key again, Elon, that's why I love interviewing you, Elon has said for decades, but all the time, he tells his managers and crew... | ||
| I want you to tell me bad news. | ||
| I want you to disagree with me when you think I'm wrong. | ||
| I want to be challenged because that's the opposite of being stagnant. | ||
| But he talks about all these other corporations and government. | ||
| They only want yes-men around them and how dangerous that is. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| Elon Musk fired. | ||
| Everyone agrees with him at Twitter. | ||
| They only kept dissenting voices. | ||
| I mean, sometimes you just wonder if, like... | ||
| Like a hat pin through the ear all the way to the other side. | ||
| Call it a day. | ||
| That's fucking crazy. | ||
| It is. | ||
| That is fucking crazy. | ||
| But I think it's crazy so tactically, because the criticism of billionaires is probably pretty accurate, but they love Elon Musk, so they have to make him immune from that criticism. | ||
| It's very defensive in nature. | ||
| I mean, yeah, I just... | ||
| I guess I'll never understand. | ||
| But this is the human race for fucking forever. | ||
| I'll never understand being like, oh, my king is better than your king. | ||
| No kings, buddy. | ||
| Kings are all bad by virtue of kinging. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| The end. | ||
| But what if your king is actually... | ||
| Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha. | ||
| Already done. | ||
| I said it in quotes. | ||
| What if he's just a really rich guy? | ||
| See, there you go. | ||
| Who's really cool and does memes. | ||
| Oligarchs are wrong. | ||
| Well, not my oligarchs. | ||
| No! | ||
| What? | ||
| What are we doing? | ||
| So, uh... | ||
| I have to say, I don't care about Larry Fink. | ||
| I think he deserves a fair amount of criticism. | ||
| BlackRock does have investment in way too many things. | ||
| There should be some sort of anti-trust actions that are taken market-wide. | ||
| But, I think that Ezra and his friend are little babies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And I base that on this level of complaint they make. | ||
| We asked him 70 questions and he had no answers. | ||
| 70 questions? | ||
| Not that we did any damage to him. | ||
| I mean, we haven't affected his wealth. | ||
| We haven't affected his power. | ||
| We just hurt his ego. | ||
| And who knows what he'll do to punish us. | ||
| But here, there's a couple minutes more, including when one of our cameramen falls on the ice and the bodyguard says, ha, karma. | ||
| As if our cameraman was doing anything immoral by filming. | ||
| I mean, imagine the mindset that anyone who asks you a question deserves pain by slipping and falling on ice, and that's karma. | ||
| You know karma as in the universe balancing itself out. | ||
| Yeah, you report yourself saying you deserve this. | ||
| How do they know it's not as a cameraman you hired? | ||
| Are you fucking kidding me? | ||
| Somebody fell on the ice and the bodyguard said, that's karma, and you're taking it to a fucking radio show to complain about this. | ||
| Can you imagine the mindset that someone would have to be in? | ||
| Fuck you. | ||
| Like, the people who he endorses are people like Lauren Southern and Tommy Robinson. | ||
| Grow the fuck up if you're going to complain about someone laughing at someone who slips on ice. | ||
| Please. | ||
| I have no words. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I have no words. | ||
| It's comical, this level of trying to police someone's reaction. | ||
| Or, what it is, is he's an instigator. | ||
| You know, as a little man to somebody who goes out and he agitates, and you want to create compelling content through that. | ||
| You want to go out and get into a fight with Larry Fink. | ||
| But guess what? | ||
| He's not responding to your stupid ass. | ||
| So you get nothing. | ||
| This video is nothing except you and your friend looking like idiots. | ||
| So you have to find something to complain about, and all you've got is the bodyguard said something kind of glib when one of your cameramen slipped on ice. | ||
| This is a zero! | ||
| Yeah, that's no good. | ||
| You can't justify your travel expense on that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is no good! | ||
| I can't imagine not, like, debriefing after the, like, hey, how do we think we did? | ||
| And not having everybody go, a terrible job! | ||
| We did a bad, objectively, what we did was bad at what we do. | ||
| There was nothing electric. | ||
| We got no response. | ||
| Like, maybe we should make more personal insults next time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Something. | ||
| This is shit. | ||
| And then the pitch was like, how do we save face? | ||
| The bodyguard made a joke about the guy who fell? | ||
| That's what you've got? | ||
| And it wasn't even that mean of a joke, but can you imagine the mindset of somebody who would do something like that? | ||
| You know, okay. | ||
| It's just, I can't believe society has gotten to this point. | ||
| Here's what I like. | ||
| Here's what I like about, and I don't like it, but here's what is at least appreciable about the new mafia system that we live within, right? | ||
| In a real mafia system, if somebody comes to the boss with shit that week... | ||
| You're fucking gone, man. | ||
| There's serious consequences. | ||
| This is the fucking mafia. | ||
| You can't come to me with that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right? | ||
| This, this, what is this? | ||
| What is this? | ||
| I think that Alex and Ezra are both yesterday's news in terms of, you know, like, the new agitation media. | ||
| Sure, sure, sure. | ||
| So I think that, you know, Alex, he's not bringing this to the Bob Boss. | ||
| He's bringing this to the guy who might be concussed. | ||
| This is not the quarterly reports that you want to give. | ||
| Yeah, that's fair. | ||
| So maybe Ezra's got something else. | ||
| Maybe he's got something else. | ||
| So he's got another story that he discovered while he was over there. | ||
| Wargaming this, what are you concerned about? | ||
| Because you're a smart guy and I'm really focused on not being too overconfident here. | ||
| I'm going to steal 30 seconds first and show you something. | ||
| And forgive me for delaying answering your question. | ||
| This is a energy bar that was being handed out on the streets of Davos today. | ||
| Cocoa cashew flavor has protein in it. | ||
| The word insect or bugs is nowhere on this, but this is insect protein energy bars. | ||
| And there was a man giving these out by the hundred today. | ||
| They really want you to eat the bugs. | ||
| This is not a conspiracy theory, Alex. | ||
| I couldn't believe it. | ||
| I took it And I asked the guy, where does it say bugs? | ||
| He said, oh, it's right there. | ||
| Alphatobius diaparinus in the ingredients. | ||
| That's the Latin phrase for the insect. | ||
| It's mealworms. | ||
| They ground up worms to make this. | ||
| There is no warning label at all. | ||
| This is legitimate for sale. | ||
| Warning label! | ||
| In Europe, they really are selling bugs to be eaten. | ||
| That is not a conspiracy. | ||
| That is not a fable. | ||
| The conspiracy isn't supposed to be that there are some products that use insect-derived protein. | ||
| It's that the globalists want to force you to only eat the bugs by banning the sale of things like beef and chicken. | ||
| Proving that there are insect-derived energy bars being sold by companies in Europe does zero towards establishing this conspiracy. | ||
| So the company that Ezra is talking about is called Pumba, and in big letters on each bar, it says, quote, If Ezra cared at all, he would know that this is a term used to describe taking things that would often otherwise be waste and making them into nutritious foods. | ||
| That should have been his first tip-off. | ||
| The second thing he should have noticed is that in the ingredients section, things are in Swiss and French, because this is a Swiss company. | ||
| It says on the ingredients list, in bold letters, Alphatobus dipernis, followed by Insectamel, in parentheses, which translates to Insect Meal. | ||
| It says insect in the ingredients, you dipshit. | ||
| Fair, that's true. | ||
| His complaint is that it doesn't say that there are bugs in this thing, but it's in the ingredients list, and the bar is labeled Upcycled Food. | ||
| On their website, they say, quote, Pumba's mission is to bring the best insect-based foods to people around the globe, promoting both personal well-being and environmental stewardship. | ||
| This isn't something they're hiding. | ||
| What the fuck are you doing? | ||
| This is a really good encapsulation of how pathetic this conspiracy ecosystem is. | ||
| Ezra is on to complain about how Larry Fink didn't answer his questions, and he drops this bombshell that a company in Switzerland uses alternative protein sources for its energy bar. | ||
| Who gives a shit? | ||
| Like, what? | ||
| This is a wasted trip, bro! | ||
| I fully believe now in the Apollo rules for all media. | ||
| If this happens, giant cane, boom, you're gone. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Just gone. | ||
| No. | ||
| Everybody boos. | ||
| You're done. | ||
| You don't got it. | ||
| You're done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Get the fuck out of here. | ||
| Next act. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It should be. | ||
| That's just the general rule for all media now. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Ezra is... | ||
| Yoink. | ||
| Get the fuck out. | ||
| He's not making it. | ||
| He's getting the gong. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| So Alex now has had the idea of eating bugs introduced to him. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So we gotta talk about it. | ||
| Bug insect exoskeletons, that's what they have. | ||
| We have an endoskeleton. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Or just bug chitin protein, highly carcinogenic, also fries your guts. | ||
| I mean, there's a reason you look at a strawberry and want it, or a piece of beef and want it, or a banana and want it. | ||
| You're meant to eat that. | ||
| You're not meant to, and there are some cultures that do it. | ||
| And in Africa, they'll eat big grubs because they don't have a lot of chitin in them. | ||
| And so they're not as toxic. | ||
| But that's Africans digging holes because they're starving and eating beetle larva. | ||
| There's the National Library of Medicine, Bugs and Food, a recipe for cancer. | ||
| So, if you go strictly by the, if it looks good, I'm supposed to eat it rule, I don't know why anyone would eat lobsters, mushrooms, mollusks, or all sort of things that are perfectly acceptable foods. | ||
| Bugs of the sea? | ||
| I think Alex is just being stupid here. | ||
| However, he pulls up a headline that says, quote, bugs and food, a recipe for cancer. | ||
| And the first thing I would point out is this ends in a question mark. | ||
| This is not a statement, it is a query. | ||
| This is an article published in the journal Cell Metabolism in 2014 and based on how Alex is talking about it you would think that this is about how having a diet that includes bugs will lead to an increase in your risk of cancer. | ||
| It would have to be. | ||
| However, if you read the article, it's about something else altogether. | ||
| The paper involves cancer risk in mice and questions some conventional understandings about obesity and cancer. | ||
| Specifically, the understanding at the time that was being examined was that when mice have a high fat diet, they develop obesity and inflammation, which then leads to cancer. | ||
| However, the analysis these researchers came to was that the development of cancer actually preceded the obesity and inflammation in the mice that were fed a high fat diet. | ||
| So there must be another contributing factor. | ||
| They posit that this other factor is microbial makeup inside the mouse's guts. | ||
| These bacteria and microbes are the. | ||
| Right, right, right, right, right. | ||
| Alex has no idea what information he's presenting to the audience, and he doesn't care. | ||
| That headline appears to make the point that he's trying to make, so it's presented fraudulently in order to make that point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Gong. | |
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay, so eventually we're all going to eat the bugs. | ||
| Let's just move on from that. | ||
| We're all going to get there. | ||
| How do you sell it? | ||
| You know, like when you're Alex and you've already invested all this stuff, he finally has a bug food sponsor. | ||
| How is he going to start selling it? | ||
| The same way you sell Elon. | ||
| These are the good bugs. | ||
| No chitin. | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| Who gives a shit? | ||
| These are the good bugs? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| These are the bugs that look good. | ||
| They look like food. | ||
| They look like food. | ||
| Man, it shouldn't be that easy. | ||
| It shouldn't be that easy, Dan. | ||
| It will be a slam dunk. | ||
| Make it not that easy. | ||
| We have gathered the best scientists in the world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| You've spent 20 years! | ||
| We've perfected the methods of chitin removal. | ||
| But you said that it was... | ||
| Yeah, but this is the only good one. | ||
| You know how iodine's the good halogen? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| As opposed to fluoride. | ||
| You know that old sales pitch? | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| This is the good bug. | ||
| We're just never gonna get free. | ||
| Hashtag the good bug. | ||
| No! | ||
| Don't hashtag it! | ||
| You son of a bitch! | ||
| Now it's true! | ||
| It's not that far off, I'm sure. | ||
| You know you're probably right. | ||
| If the opportunity were to arise, I'm sure, that it would be manageable for him. | ||
| Yeah, I bet. | ||
| So he reads a couple headlines here about bugs. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Immune response to eating chitin linked to better health. | ||
| Oh, look. | ||
| Oh, your body has seen it, and they've got their spin out there, too. | ||
| Huh? | ||
| What spin? | ||
| So, bugs feeding the world. | ||
| 12 companies selling edible insects. | ||
| I wonder who funds them. | ||
| So the first thing Alex did there was read a headline that says the opposite of what he's saying. | ||
| And then his only rebuttal is, ah, they got their spin. | ||
| I guess so. | ||
| Cool, man. | ||
| And then there's a telling moment there for Alex that I think really should inject concern among his fans. | ||
| He sees this article, the second headline that he's reading, is from the NewYorkFoodPolicy.org website. | ||
| And he mutters, I wonder who funds them. | ||
| Why doesn't he know? | ||
| He's supposed to work 20 hours a day on this shit, and he's definitely not just cold reading headlines and riffing on them. | ||
| If he cares at all, he should know who the sources are for the things that he's reporting. | ||
| The New York Food Policy Center is run by Hunter College. | ||
| There's tons of information about them that's easily available if Alex cares, but he doesn't. | ||
| If he looked into it, that would require work, and the information he'd find wouldn't really be that useful for him. | ||
| He gets so much more mileage off just making vague insinuations like, I wonder who funds them, than he ever could from doing his job. | ||
| Because now, in your head, Alex wonders who funds them. | ||
| He must know something. | ||
| Fuck the New York Food Policy Center or whatever the fuck. | ||
| They're globalists! | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| It's probably Schwab. | ||
| I'm not going to be able to get past that it's out of Hunter College. | ||
| Hunter College. | ||
| That's going to fuck with my head. | ||
| Hunter Gatherer College. | ||
| I mean, I couldn't stop being like, don't make a Gatherer College joke. | ||
| Don't make a Gatherer College joke. | ||
| I can't not. | ||
| It's in my head. | ||
| Is it nominative determinism or is it just fucking coincidence? | ||
| I think you should have just let it fly. | ||
| I have to get to the bottom of it. | ||
| Was somebody in the past fucking with us? | ||
| No, I think it's named after a person, I would assume. | ||
| Oh, that person's probably fucking with us. | ||
| I bet they never even hunted. | ||
| Well, one of their ancestors must have, right? | ||
| That's how you get the name. | ||
| That's what I've been told. | ||
| That's what I would assume, but now you don't know! | ||
| I don't. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| So Alex is talking a little bit about the idea of Trump getting rid of birthright citizenship. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And he's all for it. | ||
| Shocking. | ||
| Great. | ||
| This just happened in the last hour. | ||
| Judge says he will block Trump's blatantly unconstitutional executive order that aims to end birthright citizenship. | ||
| Anchor babies. | ||
| And if you read the Constitution, it's a fact that it's natural born means your parents are either legally here or citizens. | ||
| You can't get off an airplane eight months pregnant and then wait in a hotel for a month or some leftist flop house. | ||
| Well, they all sign you up for, you know, welfare and the rest of it. | ||
| And then you go into the hospital and we pay for your baby. | ||
| And then now mommy can stay and daddy can stay. | ||
| And then the chain migration, the rest of your family comes in. | ||
| This is a weapon of replacement migration. | ||
| And Trump is shutting it down. | ||
| So this, this to me is just, I mean, there's just hate. | ||
| It's not, it can't possibly be as big of a deal as. | ||
| Like, how many people are doing that? | ||
| How many people are coming in in the eighth month? | ||
| I swear I... | ||
| And people, leftists, funding all this. | ||
| No, I remember eight years ago, I remember reading something specifically about this whole concept and just being like, oh, what we found is that none of that happens, but there are fucking, like, ten Russian people who've done it in the past hundred years, and you're like... | ||
| That's not even a thing! | ||
| I don't think it's as minor as that. | ||
| As I recall from looking into it, it is something that happens, but it happens on such a small level to be, like, what you're really doing is hurting people. | ||
| You gain much more kind of by just being like, alright, some people are going to exploit whatever, who cares? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| No, it is so much like if you can get people focused on a not-a-real problem, then you can avoid actually having to deal with any real problems. | ||
| Yeah, or make the underlying problem worse. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| So, Alex, I will say, I gotta give it up to him. | ||
| You know, like, sometimes you just have to. | ||
| Like the Somali pirates? | ||
| He has criticisms of ICE. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I bet they're totally genuine and probably not about how they're not violent enough. | ||
| Well, shit. | ||
| And I want to raise this now without saying any names because I've seen a bunch of people doing it without even looking. | ||
| It's all over the place. | ||
| Attacking Tom Homan, the new border czar, and attacking Trump when Tom Homan goes on TV and says, we're going to target the worst people first. | ||
| And then taking that, meaning they're not going to get everybody. | ||
| You better get the worst people first. | ||
| I mean, if you're in a small town and there's six, seven cops on duty at midnight and a bunch of calls come in, somebody is shooting up the local country dance bar and another call comes in of a domestic dispute. | ||
| And another call comes in about a car wreck. | ||
| And then what do the cops do? | ||
| The police station, whoever's on duty and charge, calls out and says, respond to that first. | ||
| So you might make a joke at some point of like, yeah, his criticism would be that they're not deporting enough people. | ||
| And that kind of is, you know. | ||
| Exactly what it is. | ||
| Yeah, well, Alex is defensive about other people having that complaint. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's saying, they're reporting plenty. | ||
| I mean, I guess... | ||
| We'll get to everybody? | ||
| I guess, you know, because a reasonable conversation for them would have to be something along the lines of like... | ||
| If you really want that, then we have to devote all of the budget to hiring new ICE people. | ||
| I think they'd be fine about it. | ||
| Hiring more lawyers, more everybody, more all of this shit. | ||
| Forever. | ||
| It's a physically impossible thing to do. | ||
| You just want to do it because it's racist. | ||
| So just be like, hey guys. | ||
| We're being racist enough, okay? | ||
| Yeah, that's sort of Alex's point. | ||
| Like, what is happening? | ||
| We have to prioritize with the way that we exert our racism. | ||
| We all want serial killers out of here, obviously. | ||
| But, come on, what, do you want to just go after everybody? | ||
| Yes! | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| That's what you told us! | ||
| So Alex is trying to justify the fact that there are, you know, ICE, they're taking people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure, sure, sure, sure. | |
| Some non-criminals. | ||
| It's already happening. | ||
| And so Alex is trying to justify some of that by distracting with another story. | ||
| Here's another video. | ||
| Earlier today, NBC crews filmed multiple federal agents. | ||
| Rounding people up from apartments in Boston, and we already showed some of that. | ||
| And they've got it in Los Angeles. | ||
| They've got it in Houston. | ||
| Trump deportation plan begins to take shape as immigrant communities face fear and uncertainty. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| Look at this photo. | ||
| At the U.S.-Mexico border, migrants experience the reality of Trump's first few days, and they're crying, and it's a woman. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Amos International says 80-plus percent of the women and girls that come across that border have been raped on the other side, not here, by the smugglers. | ||
| So send them back? | ||
| It's all, oh, look, she got told to come up here, and now she just can't waltz in and have her baby and have it all paid for, be a Democrat, live on welfare, and fly her foreign flag. | ||
| No. | ||
| What about this guy? | ||
| Oh, look, she's crying. | ||
| Poor thing. | ||
| What about Border Patrol agent was killed in Vermont and he worked at the Pentagon during 9-11 AP? | ||
| U.S. Border Patrol agent was killed in Vermont during a traffic stop near the Canadian border, was a military veteran who worked security duty at the Pentagon during 7-11. | ||
| Notice, the article's not about how an illegal alien with prior violent convictions that had been ordered deported but wasn't deported by the Biden system because they would just bureaucratically block it. | ||
| They don't even get into his... | ||
| Name or any of it until you dig deeper because they want to make it all about he just got killed. | ||
| I mean, how long do I got to read here until I find out this guy did this? | ||
| Keep skimming. | ||
| You'll figure it out eventually. | ||
| Cold reading this. | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| So you see here Alex trying to make the audience not feel bad for a person being caught up in an ICE raid by distracting them with a story about how this Border Patrol agent was shot in Vermont. | ||
| Alex knows nothing about that story, and he's just adding in some details in order to make it fit its narrative, like the whole storyline about how this person who shot the Border Patrol agent was an undocumented immigrant with a prior violent conviction that was supposed to be deported, but that was stopped by Biden. | ||
| All of that is from Alex's imagination. | ||
| As it stands now, they've not said who actually shot that agent, which brings up the kind of sad possibility that he might have been shot by friendly fire during the standoff. | ||
| What we do know is that it's pretty unlikely that the man who's from Germany, Felix Backholt, was the one who shot him, because he was in the process of pulling a weapon when he was shot and killed. | ||
| The police and Theresa Youngblood, the woman from Washington, were the ones who got off shots. | ||
| As far as I can tell, Bockholt doesn't have a history of violent convictions and wasn't ordered deported. | ||
| He came from Germany to Canada to attend university in 2015 and then came to the United States and overstayed a visa. | ||
| This story is unfolding in a very crazy way, but I don't think it works in any way that Alex needs it to. | ||
| At this point, the details are kind of sketchy, but it looks like it's possible that this killing of this Border Patrol agent could be connected to some other murders. | ||
| There's also some insinuations that the people who carried out the shooting might have been trans and vegan, so I would expect this to pivot from being an immigration narrative into being an anti-LGBTQ one, if Alex continues with it at all. | ||
| It has all the makings of a completely insane story, but Alex knows nothing about any of the details and doesn't care. | ||
| Doesn't care to learn who gives a shit. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| It's a border patrol agent who was shot, so I can use that to distract from your feelings of genuine empathy that you should have for seeing these people mistreated. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Okay, here's my new pitch, alright? | ||
| We don't need to outlaw guns. | ||
| What we need to do is make it mandatory to always be wearing hockey gloves. | ||
| All right? | ||
| So now we're all wearing hockey gloves, and that means that whenever Alex says something like that, I can just drop my hockey gloves, and we are in a fight. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| We're in a hockey-style fight. | ||
| Everybody knows what the signals are. | ||
| We've got a social kind of thing going on. | ||
| And because you're wearing the hockey gloves, can't mess with a gun. | ||
| Here's a couple issues. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| One. | ||
| Can we make them those finger things where you can use a phone with a hockey glove? | ||
| Like, can you still use a touch screen? | ||
| Ooh, that is a good question. | ||
| No, because I also don't want people being on their phones while they're crossing the crosswalk. | ||
| Okay, second pitch. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is kind of just going back to slapping someone with a glove times. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Because all you're actually wanting is someone to, like, there's an indication that it's go time. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah, we're all on board here. | ||
| We all understand the process. | ||
| Maybe we just slap with a glove as opposed to everyone has to wear hockey gloves all the time. | ||
| It's not American. | ||
| It's not American to slap with a glove. | ||
| Hockey is close enough. | ||
| Hockey is close enough. | ||
| It's better than the alternative. | ||
| I think that it would be tough to do a lot of things like drive or cook. | ||
| Or sleep with hockey gloves on? | ||
| We would have to fundamentally restructure society, but I think that would be a far cheaper option than allowing guns to continue, I guess. | ||
| I feel like we should just limit the availability of guns and have people slap each other with gloves to indicate that it's on. | ||
| As far as compromise is concerned, I'm with you. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So Alex is in favor of Trump and another action that he did, which is declaring that the cartels in Mexico are... | ||
| Terrorist gangs, terrorist groups. | ||
| Great. | ||
| That's one stack. | ||
| Oh, I'm sorry. | ||
| There was two stacks in that. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Now you're seeing how I'm trying to move quicker. | ||
| It's a lot. | ||
| Imagine getting ready to cover this. | ||
| That takes a lot of time, too. | ||
| Here's the New York Times. | ||
| When I first saw this headline, it was just a screenshot on X. I said, is that fake? | ||
| And I went and clicked, and no, it wasn't, of course. | ||
| Almost as silly as the headline in 1906, it'll take a million years for men to fly, and a week later the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk documented it. | ||
| It happened before. | ||
| How labeling cartels terrorists could hurt the U.S. economy. | ||
| And I'm like, is that real? | ||
| Yeah, here it is. | ||
| How labeling cartels terrorists, I mean, if anybody's terrorist, it's them, could hurt the U.S. economy. | ||
| And have you seen the carnage, the death, the fentanyl, the stuff they do? | ||
| And you read it, and it's like a joke. | ||
| And then they give their excuses. | ||
| It doesn't even... | ||
| It's like humanizes the cartels. | ||
| And now the Mexican pesos dropping and all the rest of it because he runs that country. | ||
| Trump-designated cartels, terror groups, could hurt the U.S. economy, New York Times warns. | ||
| Mexico-based New York Times reporter argues Trump order could have a major impact on U.S.-Mexico given their deep economic interdependence to their admitting Mexico runs off dry. | ||
| Is that what they were admitting? | ||
| Why Trump's designation of drug cartels is terrorist alarms in Mexico, Washington Post. | ||
| Here's Trump's executive order. | ||
| order on it, designating cartels, other organizations as foreign terrorist organizations, as specifically designated global terrorists. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Let's keep going. | ||
| So I'm not interested in supporting or defending drug cartels, but I do think that Alex's position is entirely inconsistent with his previously stated beliefs, and pretending that people oppose Trump labeling cartels as international terror groups because they want to defend the cartels is a cowardly dodge for him to make. | ||
| There are a number of issues here and a compelling reason why no other president has ever made a move like this. | ||
| The first is that the mainstream economy of Mexico is deeply penetrated by the cartels, in a way that a lot of normal businesses are used as fronts to launder money. | ||
| Because this is the case, most analysts believe that it would be almost impossible to discern which businesses are cartel-connected and which are not, so when you label these cartels as international terrorist groups, it could now be considered materially supporting a terrorist group if you invest in the wrong company in Mexico. | ||
| You introduce a lot of legal issues, and one of the downstream results is that people just stop taking the risk of investing in any businesses in Mexico in fear that they might unknowingly be supporting terrorism. | ||
| The second is that the United States has a terrible track record of dealing with terrorist groups. | ||
| The last 20 years has been marked by us calling something a terrorist group and then using that as a justification to bomb people. | ||
| Labeling the cartels as international terrorist groups creates a fear that this is going to lead to more of that. | ||
| Trump could demand that they be addressed militarily, and if Mexico's response isn't satisfactory, it's easy to imagine him accusing them of harboring terrorists and we need to go in and take care of it ourselves. | ||
| This could easily be seen, uh, you can see how... | ||
| Turn into justification for needing to send boots on the ground to fight the terrorists. | ||
| Alex should know this. | ||
| He's been around the whole Iraq war period. | ||
| He knows this shit. | ||
| It's impossible he doesn't understand that. | ||
| This move is counterproductive, which is what people oppose in it. | ||
| That's when they say they oppose this kind of declaration. | ||
| That's what they mean. | ||
| Alex is just incapable of conversations about news that go any deeper than a headline. | ||
| And so this is... | ||
| This is the kind of coverage you get. | ||
| It's so shallow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I'm getting the feeling like maybe we should do a moratorium on those headlines and just replace it with being near United States geographically alarms Mexico. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, like, don't bother with blank alarms Mexico. | ||
| Just us being near them. | ||
| Alarming. | ||
| Proximity unsettling. | ||
| Yeah, justifiably so. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So Alex does some more coverage, gets some nice hitting all the news. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| This is really nice right here. | ||
| I like this a lot. | ||
| He didn't just pull 52 of the neocon and globalist leftist that worked against him and didn't just block the Hunter Biden stuff, but they ran a crossfire hurricane, all of it, and a lot of them are neocons. | ||
| A lot of the top ones are. | ||
| So John Bolton lost his security clearance. | ||
| And now Pompeo. | ||
| Oh, that guy's a snake in the grass. | ||
| Reuters. | ||
| Trump revoked security protection. | ||
| Yeah, they're also pulling their security. | ||
| You don't get that. | ||
| Like, Fauci needs to have his pulled. | ||
| He was getting it illegally. | ||
| 15 agents, 24 hours a day. | ||
| I think it was like, it was some giant number. | ||
| It was like in the tens of millions they spend on Fauci alone. | ||
| Trump revokes security protection for Pompeo and a former aide. | ||
| Good. | ||
| Pure gold. | ||
| John Brennan bellyaching about his security clearance being pulled over laptop intel letter. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Pompeo is a big leaker. | ||
| He's a bad man. | ||
| Bad. | ||
| Bad man. | ||
| Here's some more border news. | ||
| So John Brennan's security clearance was revoked in 2018. | ||
| Alex adding that in with these headlines is a little bit confusing. | ||
| I imagine he just forgot that that happened in Trump's first term. | ||
| Alex is also mixing up his stories. | ||
| John Bolton had his security clearance revoked, but Mike Pompeo had his security detail pulled. | ||
| This is a concern because there have been rumblings for years that Iran very much wants to assassinate Mike Pompeo because he played a role in the killing of Qasem Soleimani. | ||
| So without that security detail, that task would be a lot easier. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And that's the issue that people are talking about. | ||
| But Alex seems to think that it was that he got his security clearance pulled. | ||
| He's adjusting mid-cold reading these headlines. | ||
| So he was going to take calls on this show. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But he decides that he's not going to. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| And I think that the reason that he gives is revealing. | ||
| And I said I'd take calls, but I also have a total commitment because I really love your calls. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you? | |
| You take us different directions. | ||
| Wild card. | ||
| I just have to cover all this, so I won't take calls. | ||
| I'm going to do some extra nighttime shows that are calls. | ||
| I'm going to set that up today. | ||
| I'll tell you soon. | ||
| And I'm going to do not just a Sunday show. | ||
| I'll do a Saturday show, too, and take calls. | ||
| And we do the next spaces, too, because I really want to hear from you. | ||
| It's just that we take this show, and we take each one of these things I cover, and we put out 30, 40 clips, as you know. | ||
| And on average, they're getting like 5 million views apiece. | ||
| And it's moving the needle. | ||
| So it's exhausting to do this much news, but it hurts them. | ||
| Quite frankly, I find it more interesting and have fun just hearing from you. | ||
| I mean, I'm just a regular guy. | ||
| Sitting up here talking by yourself is satisfying to get the bad guys. | ||
| So it's satisfying, but it's also... | ||
| It's beyond exhausting. | ||
| You know what it's like. | ||
| Do we? | ||
| It's a responsibility to really be dynamic and accurate. | ||
| And I can kind of just, you know... | ||
| Respond to the call. | ||
| Give them an answer that takes some thought the best I can. | ||
| But it's more interesting and stimulating. | ||
| I'm kind of in a jail cell in here just talking to myself. | ||
| But it doesn't matter. | ||
| I'm going to go to break and we're going to come back. | ||
| I forgot to plug this hour. | ||
| I'm the problem around here. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Incredible products. | ||
| We're blowing the globalist up. | ||
| If you want to keep winning, support us. | ||
| Big sale going right now. | ||
| A lot of new products in the store. | ||
| So Alex hasn't gotten deep into any of the new subjects that he's touched on on the show, but if you pay attention to what he's saying, this makes total sense. | ||
| He's not going to take calls because he needs to spend more time on the show covering subjects that his staff can then cut into clips that they can use as clickbait on Twitter. | ||
| That's moving the needle as much as he sees big... | ||
| this is a smart thing for him to maximize. | ||
| He has more fun and would rather take calls, maybe, but the way he believes he can make the most money is to make clickbait bullshit that flies around on Twitter. | ||
| It's a terrible strategy, and I'm therefore glad that Alex thinks it's a good strategy. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| He can run with that. | ||
| Yikes. | ||
| That's just... | ||
| That's dark thoughts about your own... | ||
| Existence. | ||
| This is what we are... | ||
| He's in a jail cell talking to himself. | ||
| Not even questioning, like, should we do this? | ||
| Or, like, should we purposefully eschew this? | ||
| Because it is a sign of a decaying... | ||
| Nah, fuck it. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Well, and I think that there's something really sad to think about that is Alex's metrics for his own, like... | ||
| His brilliance and his own relevance and all of this is just tied to Twitter views. | ||
| If something should happen and Elon decides you're not in my good graces anymore and bans Alex from Twitter, he's spent so much time building up the hundreds of millions of views that they're getting on there. | ||
| Now all that goes away. | ||
| His identity is dependent on Musk's grace. | ||
| Sure, sure. | ||
| That's what you think. | ||
| Okay, so when you give a single person, usually megalomaniacal, an absurd amount of power over you, then whenever they whimsically change their mind, as they are known to do, there are lots of protections. | ||
| Oh, no, there aren't. | ||
| There's no protections at all. | ||
| No, but Alex could then just start lying about how many more radio stations he's on or something. | ||
| He'd find a way to self-soothe. | ||
| Running away from reality is very soothing. | ||
| Yeah, it's dangerous. | ||
| So Alex is going to make some of those. | ||
| Clips. | ||
| He's going to cover the news so he can get into the clips. | ||
| But he's not. | ||
| He's actually going to do it later. | ||
| Oh, great. | ||
| We're not playing around with the globalists, as I've told them. | ||
| And they know that. | ||
| They can smell defeat in the spirit of this transmission. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
what they feared has now come true. | |

You want a war? | |
| You got one, don't you? | ||
| We're never going to stop. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Plus, radio stations don't carry this segment, so I'm having a little fun here because I want everybody to hear what I'm going to be covering. | ||
| I am locked. | ||
| I am loaded. | ||
| I am going to explosively, with precision, kick all of this. | ||
| James O 'Keefe's had another stunning coup. | ||
| Senate confirms John Ratcliffe, Trump's CIA director. | ||
| We got the big news on J6. | ||
| We got the information coming out about what's really going on with this Stargate AI mRNA stuff. | ||
| And we have got a lot more on top of that. | ||
| I'm going to get into what to expect from Trump's visit to California tomorrow. | ||
| And I'm not laughing about the carnage. | ||
| That's terrible. | ||
| Trump's got the mushroom in Super Mario Bros. | ||
| right now. | ||
| So nothing says tip of the spear quite like openly and constantly acknowledging that you don't even really give a shit about the first six minutes of every hour because it doesn't go out on the tiny number of radio stations that air your show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| 400 my ass. | ||
| Definitely the most effective use of that time is getting hyped up about all the news that you're going to cover later. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| John Ratcliffe is a terrible choice for the CIA, seeing as he was a Bush-era anti-terrorism chief in the Department of Justice and ran a law firm with John Ashcroft. | ||
| Since then, he's shown a lot of loyalty to Trump, so Alex is cool with it. | ||
| Who cares? | ||
| Incidentally, Alex can laugh all he wants here, but Trump's actions in California were almost a huge disaster. | ||
| He sent the Army Corps of Engineers to open up dams to increase the flow of water, which local authorities said would have caused severe flooding. | ||
| A Politico article says, quote, Local officials had to talk the Army Corps of Engineers down. | ||
| Victor Hernandez, a water manager in the area, said he'd not seen anything like it in 25 years on the job and that it was, quote, The release of that much water that quickly would have the risk of damaging the channels, of causing flooding of farmland and communities nearby, and creating shortages of water meant for irrigation later. | ||
| This will have no effect on firefighting ability, has potentially disastrous consequences, and is at best kind of a waste. | ||
| The point of doing something like this is the exercise of power. | ||
| That is it. | ||
| And Alex celebrates that. | ||
| That's why he's laughing. | ||
| That's what he's interested in. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Bummer. | ||
| No arguments. | ||
| But what do you think about the mushroom? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump's got the mushroom. | |
| I think he means the star. | ||
| That's what I think. | ||
| I think he means that Trump has the star. | ||
| That's interesting. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| Hold on to that thought. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Trump's got the mushroom in Super Mario Brothers right now. | ||
| And he's running over bad guys. | ||
| And if that arrogant, snot-nosed Patrick Bateman thinks he's got problems now, Trump is going to flame-throw him. | ||
| He's going to melt. | ||
| Like the witch in Wizard of Oz. | ||
| What in God's name is he doing here? | ||
| So I think you're right that he does think it's the star because he says he can run over bad guys. | ||
| Yes! | ||
| Which you need the star for. | ||
| You still have to jump on them if you're... | ||
| The mushroom. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But then he says flamethrow. | ||
| Right, like the fire flower. | ||
| You need the mushroom. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But then he says like the witch of the Wizard of Oz who died because of water! | |
| Right, so then you would need that backpack that Professor E. Gadd made in Sunshine. | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mario Sunshine. | |
| I'm gonna shit. | ||
| I think that Alex doesn't know anything about Mario. | ||
| It's very frustrating. | ||
| Yeah, that really bothered me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Don't bring up Mario if you don't know the power-ups. | ||
| I mean, not even that. | ||
| Just don't bring up Mario if you don't know the power-ups and then bring up one that is in active opposition to then the reference to the Wizard of Oz that you... | ||
| He's misunderstood 18 different references in the same sentence. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| It's very frustrating. | ||
| And we don't even need to bring in Spring Mario. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or Cat Mario. | |
| What if we started talking about the status effects from Paper Mario? | ||
| We don't even want to deal with this. | ||
| Tanuki suits? | ||
| You don't want to get poisoned. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| So, you remember a little bit ago? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| There was a really strong argument that Alex was having that presidents have immunity. | ||
| Because if you don't... | ||
| Then once you get out of power, why would anything not turn into a witch hunt? | ||
| That's why Trump couldn't be prosecuted before. | ||
| Makes perfect sense to me. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| Also get the clip ready of Trump on Hannity talking about, isn't it interesting, Biden pardoned everybody that was doing stuff for him for his crimes but didn't pardon himself. | ||
| Obviously talking about going after him because he's no longer the president and doesn't have immunity. | ||
| Has to be when you're president. | ||
| Show. | ||
| Oh, that's a different argument than you made before. | ||
| That is a very different argument. | ||
| That's convenient. | ||
| That is very convenient. | ||
| What a dipshit. | ||
| All right. | ||
| That's just, I mean, it's just infuriating. | ||
| You know, I wonder if maybe we just shouldn't have an automatic trial at the end of a presidency. | ||
| That's an interesting option. | ||
| Just an automatic one. | ||
| Like an exit interview kind of thing. | ||
| Yeah, the fear is going to be it's used for partisan purposes. | ||
| Just make it a nonpartisan thing. | ||
| You have to have a trial at the end of your presidency. | ||
| Sort of like defending your life. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Why bother with being like, oh, this guy says you're evil. | ||
| I haven't seen a president in my lifetime that's gotten out of office that shouldn't be on trial at the very least. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's fair, and I think it would be interesting and maybe healing for a country. | ||
| Could be. | ||
| I think it would be a little bit humiliating, too, but whatever. | ||
| Humiliating to the president would not be a bad idea either. | ||
| But also to the public. | ||
| And then it's like, this is what your leader has done over the last four years. | ||
| I think we could stand to have some humiliation. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| The thing that I think I want to put my finger on and point at here is Alex is saying that you don't have that immunity when you're out of office. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's exactly the opposite of what he was arguing when Trump wasn't in office. | ||
| And the reason that I think that this is important is don't take liar's word. | ||
| He was lying before. | ||
| Don't pretend that he means this. | ||
| This argument will change when it's convenient. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think we need about 16 or 17 more headlines about how Alex is finally sorry for defaming people. | ||
| We've got a thousand episodes of him illustrating he's a shithead. | ||
| There's just no way of knowing. | ||
| I'm assuming we'll see more. | ||
| So we've got one last clip here because Alex is covering more of the big Trump names. | ||
| Great. | ||
| We're not going into a new dark age. | ||
| We're not going to eat the bugs. | ||
| And now? | ||
| Are you sure? | ||
| He just signed the executive order ordering all of the remaining JFK files to be released. | ||
| Previously, they slow-rolled it. | ||
| Trump is ordering them released today. | ||
| If they aren't, he'll send in the federal marshals. | ||
| Trump orders the release of the final JFK assassination documents. | ||
| And just... | ||
| A week and a half ago, we aired the exclusive audio from 1971 of the former head of the DNC and LBJ's business manager and Billy Saul Estes talking about LBJ ordering the murder of JFK. | ||
| Talk about smoking gun. | ||
| That interview got over 100 million viewers and listeners on Real Alex Jones. | ||
| Smoking gun. | ||
| So that means it's true. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Now, Billy Saul Estes has been making these kinds of claims for the last 40 years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Someone claiming to be his grandson released a tape of him talking about it, but that doesn't really add to the conversation about the theory that LBJ killed JFK. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's just a recording of someone talking shit in a way that they have publicly talked shit a bunch of times. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| As for the declassifying of JFK files, that's a real dud. | ||
| Trump probably should do it, because until someone does, it'll hang over everyone's head as some kind of weird conspiracy MacGuffin, but it's super unlikely that there's anything left to declassify that means anything. | ||
| Most stuff has already been declassified, and people who study this subject will generally tell you that the remaining classified material is mostly only still classified because it contains sensitive personal information. | ||
| This is an action Trump can take to really excite the base, but they'll quickly lose focus from the fact that the declassified documents don't really reveal anything they hope they will, and they'll move along and just be like, Trump told us all the truth about JFK. | ||
| What truth? | ||
| Yeah, but here's what would be fun, because this is the way he made it sound. | ||
| If we don't do this, I'm going to send in the federal marshals. | ||
| So, in this scenario, they decide not to do it. | ||
| And then federal marshals have to go. | ||
| Like, does that mean that there's some sort of Knights Templar group within this classification who's like, we have to protect the JFK documents with our lives, man. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If the federal marshals come get you, burn it to them. | ||
| Like, what? | ||
| What is happening? | ||
| Yeah, there's a self-destruct failsafe. | ||
| Is that what's going on? | ||
| In what world does sending in the federal marshals improve things? | ||
| Well, because that's how serious these secrets are. | ||
| It doesn't make any sense. | ||
| Even if they are secrets that are serious, the people who work there would have to go rogue on their own or be part of a secret society. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Presumably. | ||
| Because everybody who would be involved in any of the stuff that's in the documents is dead. | ||
| They're dead, yes. | ||
| So these are like, they're sentenced with tattoos of crosses on their chest. | ||
| See, now that's fun. | ||
| It is fun. | ||
| That's fun. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's more fun. | |
| It's much more fun than realizing that, like, there's personal information that people just... | ||
| Oh, it's just, like, her hair color. | ||
| Medical records or something. | ||
| Yeah, what are we doing? | ||
| Why are we doing this? | ||
| I think, yeah, let's make everything... | ||
| This is what we need to do. | ||
| We need to create a way to make them all be on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and not actually governing the country. | ||
| You know, like... | ||
| We should have scavenger hunts set up for all of these people. | ||
| Like Trump, oh, we gotta go get this. | ||
| Yeah, and go get it. | ||
| Go get the national treasure, boy. | ||
| Go get it, you know? | ||
| Or we could invite Alex to an escape room that isn't an escape room. | ||
| And then just leave him in a prison cell screaming to himself. | ||
| It would be no different from what he is now. | ||
| That's what he said. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Honestly, I was thinking about this just because I said it. | ||
| You know, you invite him to an escape room that's like a trap. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But you wouldn't actually have to. | ||
| He'd never make it out of an escape room. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| Unnecessary. | ||
| He could not possibly focus. | ||
| Well, you would have to reinforce things. | ||
| Oh, so he can't just punch through a wall? | ||
| Exactly, yeah. | ||
| You would have to either enforce the rules so heavily that you're forced back into the escape room if you just punch through it. | ||
| In which case, it would still be a prison. | ||
| Shop collar of some sort might work. | ||
| Ooh, that might be good. | ||
| Thick neck, though. | ||
| Losing weight, though. | ||
| Head trauma, though. | ||
| This is a good conversation. | ||
| I am enjoying it. | ||
| Anyway, we'll check in on where Alex is at with Trump's new rule, his reign. | ||
| But until then, we have a website. | ||
| Indeed we do. | ||
| It's knowledgefight.com. | ||
| Yep, we'll be back. | ||
| But until then, I'm Neo. | ||
| I'm Leo. | ||
| I'm DZX Clark. | ||
| I am the mysterious professor. | ||
| Woo! | ||
