#1013: January 30, 2025

#1013: January 30, 2025 dissects Alex Jones’ bizarre praise of Knowledge Fight, his shaky claims about Roger Stone’s 2016 recruitment (despite prior anti-Trump conspiracy rants), and the January 29th Blackhawk crash—blamed on FAA staffing or hacking, though experts ruled Trump’s policies irrelevant. Jones pivots to suppressed post-9/11 aviation threats, ignoring actual evidence, while Stone spins JFK files as CIA cover-ups, contradicting his own past skepticism. Their focus on fringe theories over Trump’s executive orders reveals a pattern of performative activism and exploitation, undermining credibility even as they cling to power associations.

Hello, Alex.
I'm a fish tin color.
I'm a huge fan.
alex jones
I love your room.
unidentified
Knowledge fight.
alex jones
Knowledgefight.com.
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
I'm Jordan.
We're a couple dudes.
Like, sit around, worship at the altar of Celine, and talk a little bit about Alex Justin.
alex jones
Oh, indeed, we are, Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan.
unidentified
Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
Quick question for you.
dan friesen
What's up?
jordan holmes
What's your bright spot today, buddy?
dan friesen
My bright spot today, I need your help with.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Because it begins with a question.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
What do you know about this guy, this cat, Post Malone?
What do you know about Malone?
jordan holmes
What do I know about him?
I know nothing about him.
I know he did the song for Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
Which was my favorite movie, maybe, of all time.
That's it.
The end.
That's all I know about Post Malone.
dan friesen
I recognize that he is a giant star.
Super huge.
But I also realized the other day, I know nothing about him past a vibe.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
I don't know what his music sounds like.
jordan holmes
He's got a vibe.
dan friesen
I have legitimately no idea.
I assume he's a rapper, right?
jordan holmes
No, I think he's a singer guy.
He's got a good voice.
dan friesen
I don't know anything.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
So what prompted this is I was walking through the store and I saw that he had a new Oreo out.
He had designed an Oreo.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
A post Malone Oreo.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And I was like, I don't know what this Oreo is going to be like.
I don't know what his music would lead me to think it would be like.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And so I got them because I wanted to try it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Now, as I was staring at the packaging, I thought, wouldn't it be fun to listen to his music for the first time while I ate the Oreo?
To have a full post-Malone experience.
jordan holmes
To just really post to like make up for all the non-Post Malone time by cramming as much post-Malone into as short a period of time as possible.
Like you were taking a test tomorrow on Post Malone.
dan friesen
Well, and what if like something about the Oreo is unlocked by the song?
unidentified
Of course.
dan friesen
Or the music.
Maybe you have to understand it in order to get the cookie.
jordan holmes
We are just chemicals floating in space.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So it didn't help me understand the cookie at all.
jordan holmes
No.
Not the cookie.
dan friesen
No.
I also am confused by his music.
Seems like there was a little bit of country stuff going on.
I have no idea.
His vibe confuses me even further now.
unidentified
Right, right.
dan friesen
I have no idea what he's all about.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I didn't dislike it or anything.
I was just, I had nothing to grab onto.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And the cookie is fine.
It kind of tastes a little bit like a pancake with syrup.
Oh.
It's salted caramel and something or other, but it ends up tasting altogether a little bit like a pancake.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
So it's not awful, but it's, you know, it's far from the worst Oreo I've ever had.
jordan holmes
Here's where my head's at.
Two places.
One, is it post Malorio or Postio Malone?
Which do you prefer?
dan friesen
Neither.
jordan holmes
Neither.
Disappointing.
dan friesen
I will not think about it again after I am done with these Oreos.
Probably.
And I don't know.
It was a lot of Post Malone to take in one swing.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah.
But I feel better for it.
jordan holmes
Huh.
And my second thing is celebrity-branded foods now.
They're everywhere.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Too much.
dan friesen
Well, I think that I like it.
jordan holmes
You like it?
Yeah.
People used to have shit.
I don't know what's better or worse, foods or shoes.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, forever we've had like celebrity-endorsed boozes.
Sure.
jordan holmes
Oh, delightful.
dan friesen
But I like the idea of trying to associate some snack with a face of a celebrity.
jordan holmes
Do you know what the one that gets me is?
dan friesen
The Nicholas Cage chips?
jordan holmes
No, but I need to have those.
dan friesen
I don't think they exist.
jordan holmes
Ah, shit.
No, there's this.
dan friesen
Nicholas Cage has his own rap snack.
jordan holmes
Chippolis Cage.
No, no, no.
There's the YouTube guy, the Mr. Beast guy.
He's got the thing, and it's called a Feastable.
And it makes me so angry because I keep being like, it's called a Mr. Beastable, right?
Like, what are we doing?
How can you have Feastable?
dan friesen
I tried one of those candy bars and I thought, what a waste.
What a waste of celebrity branding.
It's not taking a swing at anything.
It's just kind of boring.
jordan holmes
Just disgusting.
dan friesen
Anyway, I hate it.
What's your bright spot?
jordan holmes
My bright spot is we got my dog groomed.
Not groomed to look good, groomed to fix all of the horrible mistakes that we've made.
dan friesen
Oh, not as a spy?
unidentified
No, Prepare it for a life of SPM.
jordan holmes
That's not how it worked.
We didn't raise her from a child to stab things.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
No, and I was just feeling very grateful because my wife's mom can do that, and Fanny needed it.
She got mats in between her toes and got that taken care of.
dan friesen
Well, hey, Bad is running around on the ground all the time.
jordan holmes
And then we brought her donuts and I moved some stuff.
Bartering, much better system.
dan friesen
Oh, I thought you meant you brought the dog donut.
jordan holmes
No, no, no, no.
We brought my wife's mom some donuts.
Okay.
Bartering is a way better system.
dan friesen
Those potato donuts?
jordan holmes
Perfect.
Of course.
I can get a lot of stuff for those potato donuts.
Those are prison valuable.
You know what I mean?
dan friesen
The only problem is they don't hold too long.
So when the collapse comes, you're going to have a good day if you have a stock of them.
Yeah.
But then it depreciates quickly.
jordan holmes
It's a rough three-day hike.
dan friesen
Your barter runs out of juice.
jordan holmes
If you get six, you may have to eat it in a day, and that's going to be bad for you.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Did you get all three dogs groomed up?
jordan holmes
Nope, just the one who needed it.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
And then the other two, they did a good job staying at home by themselves.
We're all very happy.
dan friesen
Oh, sure.
jordan holmes
It's good stuff.
dan friesen
We're applauding that now.
jordan holmes
Yep.
That's what I do.
dan friesen
I stay at home by myself all the time.
jordan holmes
That's what I do.
dan friesen
No one pats me on the back for it.
jordan holmes
No, I actually do pat you on the back for it.
dan friesen
For staying home on the back.
jordan holmes
Yes.
Absolutely.
dan friesen
Oh, Jay, you didn't pee on the rug.
jordan holmes
It's very nice of you not to pee on the rug.
dan friesen
Man, I'm considerate.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
dan friesen
So today, Jordan, we have an episode to go over.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Now, we've been slowly progressing through the time after the inauguration.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
Our last episode, we talked about January 29th.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
What do you think we're doing today?
jordan holmes
I hope.
Wait, was the 20th?
I'm going to go with what we're going to do on January 30th.
dan friesen
That's an interesting theory that you have.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
We are doing that.
jordan holmes
Hey.
dan friesen
But we're also doing the evening of the 29th because Alex did another show.
jordan holmes
No, he did not.
dan friesen
He did.
So we're going to talk about the evening of the 29th and Alex's show on the 30th.
jordan holmes
Why?
dan friesen
I don't know.
Well, I do know.
alex jones
Okay.
dan friesen
Roger Stone was available.
Oh, okay.
So we'll get down to that here in a second.
But first, let's take a little moment to say hello to some new wonks.
jordan holmes
Ooh, that's a great idea.
dan friesen
So first, Rhea and Rowdy in Portland.
Thank you so much, Joanna, Paul Zuonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
Thank you.
Next, Mike from Kansas.
Thank you so much.
You're an Alabama Zuonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
Thank you.
And Evil Noah.
Thank you so much, Joanna Paul Zuonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
Thank you.
And we got a Technocrat in the mix, Jordan.
So thank you so much to Steve.
I suggest we use Dan and Jordan to help inform the selection of our 90s cover band's less popular underground songs from groups like Built to Spill and Failure.
If they mention a song, then we know there's a market for it.
Thank you so much, Joanna Polozuwa.
Technocrat.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant.
Someone, sodomite, sent me a bucket of poop.
Daddy Sharp.
Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bump.
Jarjar Binks has a Caribbean black accent.
He's a loser, little, little kitty baby.
I don't want to hate black people.
I renounce Jesus Christ.
dan friesen
So I don't know about any built-to-spill or failure songs.
jordan holmes
I've never, I will say this.
I was just thinking about it, and I realized that I don't know any built-to-spill songs.
And not because, like, they're in the genre that would be around the wheelhouse of somebody my age 20 years ago, 30 years ago, or whatever, right?
But I just hate the name.
Built to Spill is a terrible name.
I've just always hated it, so I don't listen to it.
dan friesen
It's something that you wouldn't want.
Like, it's obviously a thing that is meant to hold something.
jordan holmes
I don't like it.
dan friesen
It is built to fail in its purpose.
jordan holmes
I don't like the meaning of the words.
I don't like the sounds the words make.
They have a terrible mouthfeel.
I don't like the beginning and the ending of the consonants.
I don't like it.
dan friesen
I am not wholly unfamiliar with these bands.
Yes.
But if I were to have a 90s cover band and you were choosing songs, I think that one of the things you need to do is you need to give people songs that they don't know they want to hear, but they do.
One of these that I would king of wishful thinking is one of them.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
People never know they want to hear that song, but they do.
When it starts playing, oh, they're into it.
jordan holmes
People do enjoy it.
dan friesen
So that's my tip.
King of Wishful Thinking.
jordan holmes
King of Wishful Thinking.
dan friesen
So here's an out-of-context drop from today's show.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
I mean, these are the times people say you find out who you are in a crisis.
And holy shit, what the fuck's going on with Trump?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
dan friesen
I mean, I agree.
We're coming at it from different angles, but I agree with Alex.
jordan holmes
That's a very relatable statement to make.
Yeah, I feel very obscene.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So, like I said, they did a show on the 29th, and it's in the evening.
Sure.
No reason to do this except that Roger is available, and there's JFK talk in the A.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
So I wanted to get Roger Stone on because everybody's like, where's the JFK files?
Well, it takes 15 days under law, and Trump signed it nine days ago, the first day he was in office, part of those hundreds of executive orders.
So in the next five to six, seven days, they should start releasing it.
Roger's an expert.
He knows Trump well, and he already has a really good idea of what's in there.
I'll leave it at that.
He's going to give us a first look on this coming up in about 30 minutes.
dan friesen
So that's very exciting.
We're doing a JFK teaser report with the expert Roger Stone.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Now, we live in the future.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
So we know what files were redacted or released six days after this.
It takes 15 days.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I mean, what are we doing here?
What is the point of electing the guy you elected if it's not to get rid of all those times whenever you'd be like, we have to do this?
Ah, but it takes 15 days from the government.
That's the main thing you want him there to do is to make it so things don't take 15 days.
dan friesen
Right.
And he already was in office and didn't do the thing that you want him to do.
But he also feels bad about not doing it last year.
jordan holmes
How is it possible?
How is it possible that Americans do not learn?
It's amazing.
dan friesen
Well, ask Linda McMahon, nominee for the time we had a real leader in there.
So there's some other headlines to cover before Roger is on.
alex jones
Just in the USDA Inspector General was physically removed from our office by Federal Security, had refused to comply with Trump's firing per Reuters.
Trump's given his orders.
They're not negotiable.
You're fired.
Get out.
This is mutiny.
And she's bragging how she did it, saying his actions are illegal.
Obama, Reagan, the Clintons, they all fired these inspector generals that came around in the 70s.
It's Congress trying to take over another branch of government.
You don't see Congress law.
It's insider trading having an inspector general over them.
Oh, no.
And then they won Inspector Generals over the federal courts, the Supreme Court.
So that's the fox watching the hen house there.
dan friesen
Alex is using his normal trick here, pretending that all presidents fire inspectors general because he really needs to convince the audience that it's no big deal to replace all oversight bodies with loyalists and that that isn't a huge red flag.
The IG of the USDA, Phyllis Fong, was fired by Trump's new administration, and she refused to comply with the firing because she didn't believe that it had been done by proper legal channels.
According to the law, she is entirely correct.
You can't just fire IGs on a whim.
If you could, there's basically no reason for them to exist.
Fong wasn't arrested, but she was escorted out of her office.
Interestingly, Fong's office investigated Elon's company, Neuralink, in 2022 over allegations of animal welfare violations in their testing of brain implants.
The company had passed a series of inspections by the USDA, but there were definite concerns about their treatment of animals, so the IG, Ms. Fong, was opening a review of the USDA's review itself.
To be clear, it's very unlikely that Fong was fired in retribution for this.
The USDA has pretty weak enforcement records, and even if Musk was held responsible for mistreating animals in his brain chip research, it would just come down to him paying a fine.
I'm not bringing this up to use as like a reason to explain the firing, but to flesh out how Musk is a person with a ton of conflicts of interest, and he shouldn't be anywhere near decisions relating to government oversight.
Also, Fong is one of the IGs who are suing the government over their termination and will likely succeed in that suit because the law is pretty clear and it was violated.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that won't matter.
dan friesen
Maybe not, but, um...
jordan holmes
No, it's like when I was fired by the coupon place, you know?
It was against the law for him to do that, but then the choice at the end of that was either you can take the job back with a giant red X on your back waiting to have the hammer nailed into you, or...
or you can just be fired.
That's it.
There's no real recourse there.
dan friesen
But that is recourse.
I suppose in a fashion.
Yeah.
So, Alex, there's some news that is broken.
And that is that Trump wants to put deported persons in Guantanamo Bay.
Now, Alex has already celebrated El Salvador becoming a prison planet for immigrants.
And this really, he shouldn't have this tack.
alex jones
Now, Trump has also signed an executive order to use Guantanamo Pay to hold over 30,000 illegal aliens that other third world countries won't take.
That's a message to the Venezuelan gangs, the Colombian gangs.
Oh, you think you won't get deported because your country won't take you?
We'll put your ass in Guantanamo Bay.
And he's got Bukele in El Salvador about to make a deal to take him as well.
That'll stop this dead in its tracks.
That is real dad taking his belt off hardball.
dan friesen
So take everything else away from this story and just listen to this moment really closely.
alex jones
Executive order to use Guantanamo Pay to hold.
dan friesen
Alex can't fully hold in a laugh while reporting that Trump is going to send people he's deporting to Guantanamo Bay.
Alex is laughing because his career grew out of exploiting one of the darkest pieces of modern U.S. history, the detaining and torture of people at these prisons like Guantanamo.
He's fighting back the laugh because he's come full circle, where now he's the guy justifying rendition and this prison planet that he wants to build in El Salvador.
He's laughing because he knows his audience is too far gone to care how obvious it is that his career has been a farce.
He's the cheerleader for the very people that he made millions warning his listeners were coming.
Trump claimed that he was going to send just the hardened, the most hardened criminal immigrants to Guantanamo Bay, but unsurprisingly, that hasn't been the case.
The folks who have been sent there so far are not even people with criminal records like a lot of them, and many have alleged mistreatment by guards, including beatings, refusal to access to showers, and not letting detainees speak to lawyers.
NPR reported that some of them attempted a hunger strike, and it seems to me that this is a situation that can only get worse.
And it's crystal clear if you know anything about Alex and followed his career anyway, he knows better than to support this.
jordan holmes
I mean, yeah, yeah.
This one's Obama's fault, though.
I'm going to have to put this one on Obama.
He said he was going to close it and then he didn't close it.
That's on him.
dan friesen
Sure, I guess.
unidentified
I mean, how is it not closed?
dan friesen
So there's one thing that there's no question about in the world.
It's that Alex loves Elon.
jordan holmes
Yes, he does.
dan friesen
Everyone does.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
The world does.
And he deserves prizes for how good he is.
alex jones
We have Solomon Rushdie getting a prize for free speech from the Nobel laureates.
We've had Alexander Sholtzenitzen, Gulag Archipelago, decades in a gulag for being anti-communist.
And then he came over here for a while and found out the same thing that Joseph McCarthy found out: that there were globalists in our country who actually created the communism over there.
Communism didn't come from Russia, it came from the UK and the U.S., not bashing our country.
It's just a fact.
And it's made a joke out of the Nobel Prizes now, giving Henry Kissinger and Obama and all these scumbags peace prizes for starting wars.
It's like giving Hitler an ADL award or something.
And they could, though, get their good name back at the Nobel Society of Philanthropy if they did do this.
Elon Musk nominated for Nobel Prize, Peace Prize for Free Speech Advocacy.
Elon Musk has been nominated for the 2025 Nobel Prize for his stance on free speech.
Slovenian member of the European Parliament, Ranco Grimms, put the name forward.
unidentified
Wait, wait, wait.
dan friesen
Who is that who nominated Elon for the prize?
Was that a member of the European Parliament?
jordan holmes
I wasn't that royalty?
Isn't that royalty?
dan friesen
Might be.
jordan holmes
They're all royalty.
dan friesen
Unelected bureaucrats.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
That's weird.
That's strange that this guy.
Anyway, Solomon Rushdie never won the Nobel Prize.
Alex thinks he did because there was a fatwa declared on him over the Satanic Verses, but this didn't result in a Nobel Prize.
Soltzenitsyn did win the Nobel Prize in 1970, but it was for literature.
There isn't a defense of free speech category in the Nobel Academy.
Alex, his examples are two people who would be in the running for Nobel Prizes for literature, which Elon definitely isn't going to get.
This one guy nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize, which is fine, but it's going nowhere.
Elon's literally a giant war profiteer, and Alex is a huge little worm.
Huge little worm.
jordan holmes
Can't anybody nominate you for a peace prize?
dan friesen
Yeah, there's a bunch of people who are nominated.
jordan holmes
You could just like fucking right at the gate.
dan friesen
I don't know if you could.
jordan holmes
Why not?
I demand the power to nominate for peace prizes.
dan friesen
You know how it's like you have to be this tall to ride this ride?
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
The European Parliament.
The royalty from Europe, European Parliament membership.
jordan holmes
This is you.
dan friesen
You have to be that tall.
jordan holmes
Ah, this is what Alex is saying.
You're all about the unelected bureaucrats.
dan friesen
I may be, but it's mostly out of not knowing who can nominate somebody.
jordan holmes
That's a fair point.
dan friesen
Think that you have to have made a movie to be nominated for an Oscar.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
So you have to have made peace to be nominated.
dan friesen
Hold on.
In order to be nominated for an Academy Award, someone in the Academy has to nominate you.
alex jones
Okay.
dan friesen
I mean, I assume that's how it goes.
jordan holmes
I have no idea.
dan friesen
So someone who's connected to the Nobel group somehow has to nominate you.
jordan holmes
Gotcha.
dan friesen
It can't just be you.
jordan holmes
That makes more sense.
dan friesen
You have to apply.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, I get that's the, you know, that's the problem with the Nobel Peace Prize is that, you know, with literature, you got to write a book.
Those are the rules.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
You just got to.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
There's no like negotiation on what if I just didn't write a book and I just really felt like a good book.
No negotiation.
Peace prize.
Anybody could win that shit.
dan friesen
It's vague.
And I think that, you know, Alex's criticism of, you know, people who have supported wars getting peace prizes does kind of cheapen the value of it.
jordan holmes
That doesn't help.
dan friesen
But that doesn't mean that all of them are bad.
Like all Nobel Award winners are bad.
Sure.
I don't know.
So Roger Stone comes around and he's there to talk about the JFK stuff.
jordan holmes
Sure.
alex jones
And he knows Trump very well that I tried to kill at least twice we know of.
He's got a very good idea on what's about to come out.
Also Trump's view on it.
And people are saying, why has it been released yet?
It's an executive order.
15 days to develop the plan to release it.
And then more on the RFK, MLK, and more.
But first off, Roger, you've got the floor.
Wherever you want to go.
The dizzying successes, the enemy off balance.
How are they going to strike back?
Let's not get too confident.
dan friesen
Yeah, so this is a nice benefit to being in the future.
Like, Alex is really trying his best to keep the audience strung along that Trump is about to blow the JFK thing wide open, but it takes 15 days.
Patience, everyone.
Well, we're more than 15 days in the future from this, and these files have not been released.
I don't particularly care if these files are released because most folks who know a lot more about it than me are pretty clear that there's no bombshells waiting to be revealed.
If they release everything, fine.
If it stalls forever, that's not ideal, but fine.
The worst thing possible for Alex is if the files are released and it's a dud.
So that's the outcome he definitely doesn't want.
The good news is that all of this is a game.
So when Trump says that he's going to release stuff then doesn't, it's because of the 15-day holding period.
When that time runs out, if nothing's released, then oh no, the globalists left behind in the government are meddling with the release.
If Trump does release everything and it's a disappointment, oh no, the globalists did the real documents to make Trump look bad.
It doesn't matter what happens.
Reality is going to be bent to conform to the narrative that Alex is invested in pushing.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Great.
jordan holmes
They should, it would be, it would be better.
Here's my pitch.
All right.
Don't actually release the real shit.
Nobody would ever believe that.
What you do, you release a JFK dick pic and say that's why you haven't released it.
Everybody would be like, oh, yeah, that makes perfect sense.
We'd all move on.
dan friesen
Especially if it's like bigger than LBJ.
jordan holmes
Yeah, well, nobody's dick is bigger than LBJ.
That's just a scientific fact.
dan friesen
But see, that's why it would have been never released.
And that's why LBJ.
jordan holmes
They murdered him.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Murdered him for the dick.
It's a tale as old as time.
dan friesen
This would make sense.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It'd be unsatisfying for some conspiracy theorists, probably.
jordan holmes
I think it would probably be the most satisfying answer for everybody.
dan friesen
So Roger is on.
I don't really care about the JFK stuff.
It's well-trod material between them.
He's written a book on it.
Who cares?
Right.
What I'm more interested in is revealing some details about Roger and Alex's relationship.
alex jones
And you're the expert of experts.
I mean, I'm not just saying that.
He's not just an expert on politics.
He's JFK.
That's how I first met him like 14 years ago, and then again, 12 years ago.
And he said, hey, Trump's getting ready to run.
10 years ago, and that's how I got on board.
He said, oh, this is a real deal.
He's totally dialed in.
We had meetings, but I'll leave it at that.
Hey, Roger recruited me in.
And I was literally sitting there thinking about it.
My son, Rex, says, no, Dad, you need to do it.
This is like before Trump was going.
But the point is, let's just stop here and finish up with all the news, what he's done, what's coming next.
dan friesen
We've always known this, but I'm not sure I've ever heard Alex say that so clearly.
Roger recruited Alex to the Trump campaign, essentially.
This makes the entire time that Alex was coming to Trump incredibly dishonest.
Behind the scenes, he and Roger were having what amounts to negotiations to get Alex to support Trump while Alex was pretending to cover the primary and the election.
The first time that Alex interviewed Roger is a complete, like, it's a suspicious event in this context.
And Roger getting Trump to come on Alex's show is clearly part of a deal that they struck.
There's a negotiation here.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
That's really messed up.
jordan holmes
Yeah, the only reason Roger showed up there was to sign the agreement, right?
They must have, hey, okay, we pay you this exact amount.
Roger fucking rat fucking.
dan friesen
Let's take money slightly out of the equation because maybe that's not the case.
Maybe it's access.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
He's going to win, and none of these other people are going to take you seriously, Alex.
You can cash in on this.
jordan holmes
Not one.
dan friesen
You'll have the appearance of proximity to power.
jordan holmes
Boy, at the end of this, Alex is going to realize that Roger Stone Rat fucked him too.
He's just, it's just a matter of time before you realize that Roger Stone Rat fucked you.
dan friesen
But it's pretty crazy to imagine that Alex would have no qualms with saying this in front of the audience.
You know, like Roger recruited me.
jordan holmes
Maybe nobody, maybe there's just nobody listening.
Maybe it is all robots talking to each other.
dan friesen
I don't think anybody could have been listening during that 2015 section and hear Alex say this now and not think, oh, wow, that's shady shit that was going on back then.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You're talking about how you know about Trump's history and he's a mob boss.
He's a front man for consortiums on the East Coast.
And then mysteriously all of your tune changes and all the stories are different.
Yeah.
It's, I don't know.
jordan holmes
It's probably one of those things where you can just believe, ah, now, see, what you got to do is you got to learn how to read.
Even he teaches you that you have to learn how to read between the lines.
dan friesen
Mix stuff up.
jordan holmes
Whenever reality doesn't conform to what you believe.
So even for them, they're like, oh, well, yeah, Alex has to say that because this conspiracy.
So it all just gets wrapped up in another conspiracy.
dan friesen
I get that.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But God told him the future.
Like, that didn't start in 2016.
He didn't get magical psychic powers when he decided to join up with Trump.
Like, he's had that since he was a kid.
jordan holmes
Yeah, there is that.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
It's tough.
It's tough.
Harry Potter can't be wrong if he's like doing the weather, right?
Because he's magic.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You got to get it right if it's magic.
dan friesen
He should.
He should.
So they talk a bit about Trump and they say something I think is dumb.
roger stone
And I can just tell you that something dramatically changed about him right after the events at Butler, Pennsylvania.
A serenity came over him, a sureness, a strength, a total recognition that his life had been spared by God for a greater purpose.
You know, Nixon was deeply religious, but he would never talk about his religion because as a Quaker, he'd been taught by his mother that this was a private matter.
And Trump was always a believer, but he was never comfortable talking about the Almighty because he didn't think it was a political matter.
But that all changed in Butler, Pennsylvania.
dan friesen
This is a cute story, but that's a load of shit.
Trump was fully exploiting religion for political purposes through his entire run back to 2015.
He knew that the evangelical base was one of his best hopes.
So you saw him do all those staged photos with the prosperity gospel preachers like Paula White Kane praying over him.
You saw him do that photo op at the church near the Capitol where he held the Bible upside down.
All that shit was before Butler, and Roger knows that.
He also knows that that like road to Damascus moment is a really powerful trope in evangelical circles.
So he's writing that legend for the followers to apply onto Trump that, like, oh, he had the brush with death.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
There's really no evangelical movement that doesn't require a constant updating of the time that you really came to Jesus.
dan friesen
You mean it this time?
jordan holmes
Yeah, the last few times you came to Jesus, those were pretty important, but this one, this was a revelation.
dan friesen
And that explains why he was holding the Bible upside down before.
jordan holmes
That doesn't mean that he was a baby.
He was putting his fingers crossed behind his back.
dan friesen
Right, but then he got shot.
jordan holmes
Well, because that's real religion.
dan friesen
And then he means it.
jordan holmes
You don't even know if you mean it until you mean it.
And that's when you know you mean it.
So even if you did mean it before, you didn't mean it because you didn't know you mean it.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And when people say they mean it, you got to take a word for it.
And when Roger Stone says that you mean it, it's true.
That means something.
jordan holmes
Scientific fact.
dan friesen
So we jump to the next day because I don't care.
LBJ did it.
jordan holmes
He did it.
dan friesen
Because of the dicks.
jordan holmes
It's true.
It's true.
dan friesen
And so on the 30th, there's some news that's broken.
And that is that a plane crashed into a helicopter over the D.C. airport.
And so Alex knows he needs to address this.
unidentified
Right.
alex jones
Again, it is Thursday, January 30th, 2025.
The first major challenge to the new Trump administration took place last night over Washington, D.C. At Ronald Reagan International Airport, when a U.S.
Military Blackhawk flew into the flight path of the airport in a landing aircraft that had authorization to land and had control of the Airspace.
And we have the flight logs.
We have the FAA tower reports.
We have it all here.
And they were telling the helicopter that they were in danger and to stop the path they were on.
And right now, it looks like something went on on the helicopter.
We don't know.
But instantly last night, after the Black Hawk collided into the American Airlines flight, 63 people on board, three soldiers on helicopter, no survivors.
Reagan airport closed.
Airline CEO blames Army.
Trump blames Biden.
Well, here's the facts.
This stuff happens in a complex, crazy world.
dan friesen
That's amazing.
alex jones
That's sad.
dan friesen
That's amazing.
jordan holmes
Those are the facts.
Are those all the facts?
dan friesen
This response should be all anyone needs to understand that Alex is a piece of shit and a liar.
He's the king of suspicion.
Everything is a conspiracy until proven not to be.
Or at least that's how things go when there's an advantage in it for him to position himself against the power structure.
Take, for example, all the things that happened when Biden was in office, like the Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore or the hurricanes, Helene, and Milton.
Those were immediately suspicious and likely false flags.
Maybe even weather weapons were being used here.
An accident at a bridge and two natural disasters were reported on in such a way that you could create blame that could be assigned to the Biden administration and the globalists and the government as a whole.
But now Trump is in charge.
They've all made a big deal out of ending DEI practices.
And one of the main areas that the right-wing media has agitated about this in terms of pilots and air traffic controllers, they've gotten their way, and we see a big airline crash in basically the first week of Trump being in office.
In this situation, Alex has two choices.
One option is to say that the deep state did this attack in order to make Trump look bad or something.
The globalists knew that Trump was trying to clean up the FAA, so they did this false flag in order to derail that.
This option helps deflect from Trump having to take any responsibility, but it also introduces some liabilities.
For one, a bunch of people died in the crash, so Alex needs to decide if they were real people or not.
If not, he's in danger of getting into the crisis actor storylines and risking more lawsuits.
But if he does say that they're real, then he needs to accept that Trump is so out of control with his own administration that the remaining deep state folks are murdering civilians in plane crashes, and he can't do anything about it.
There aren't a lot of good outcomes for him down this path, which is why he seems to be taking the second path.
This is the path where he just accepts that the world is complicated, and sometimes bad things happen, and no one planned them to be that way.
It's an explanation that would suffice for the majority of the news that Alex ever covers, but then pretends are false flags, which is why it's strange to hear him use this approach here.
Alex does not want Trump and Musk's power to be questioned.
So his instinct towards suspicion just kind of disappears here.
When it would be an overdrive if Biden was still in office, there would be an elaborate story to be told about this.
jordan holmes
Hey, what you going to do?
You know, sometimes planes just crash into Blackhawk military choppers.
That happens.
dan friesen
This happens in a complex society.
jordan holmes
That happens all the time.
Why are you complaining about it, you idiot?
This is like a regular occurrence.
You can't even shit on a military base without an exploding Blackhawk helicopter.
dan friesen
Look, there are bad things that happen, and I accept that.
jordan holmes
Life's bad?
dan friesen
I accept that as an explanation and something that I could hear from another human being who I would interact with socially.
jordan holmes
The penguins on the climate, it's terrible what happens to the penguins.
And that's just like this.
You know, life is just crazy and unpredictable.
You'll never know.
dan friesen
Well, hold on.
I think, like, you know, sometimes a train goes off the tracks.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And it's an accident.
jordan holmes
It is.
dan friesen
Sometimes a train goes off the tracks, and it's because no one has kept up the infrastructure.
jordan holmes
Could be.
dan friesen
I think that those are two different things.
But at the same time, neither is like, hey, someone planned to derail this train.
jordan holmes
Sure, but you don't know if maybe a giant grabbed it with its big hands and then put it off the train and then created a fake little crash scene to hide up their giant's tracks.
See, you can never trust anything.
The world's crazy.
unidentified
There's just no way to know what makes anything happen.
dan friesen
I don't accept.
So Alex is like his worldview is like, oh, you call me a conspiracy theorist?
I call you a coincidence theorist.
jordan holmes
Crazy.
dan friesen
Right?
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
So you don't get to play this card now, though.
No, the complex world shit.
jordan holmes
It's a little late.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So he has to be pretty defensive about this.
And I was just very surprised with the angle he decided to take.
alex jones
Air travel is, depending on the country, on average, about 20 times safer than automobiles.
Okay.
But it's not as glamorous when people are chewed up and wounded and dead on the highway.
And by glamorous, I mean it's so commonplace that it doesn't get people's attention.
And of course, when you do have an air disaster, it has a much higher rate of fatality because you're moving faster and you're high up in the air generally.
So our hearts go out to all those that died.
But before we knew anything last night, I have the timestamps right here.
The entire corporate media came out and blamed Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Doge for simply stating the fact that the majority of federal employees rarely ever go to work and do almost nothing.
Unless they're like the Border Patrol who busts their ass.
I've seen it.
That's a hard job.
Customs people, that's a hard job.
So the law enforcement angle works their butt off.
But the bureaucrats, the bureaucracy, I mean, across the board, there's whole studies and governmental and corporate grading of it.
But it's a joke, and we all know that.
And Trump is demanding they come back to work.
And if they won't work or secretly have another job, they're going to be fired, obviously, and probably criminally charged.
He said that last night, and that's true.
So cutting the waste and fraud and abuse out did not cause this.
They haven't even gotten to it yet.
dan friesen
So I think it's very striking how defensive Alex is about this story, and I think I understand why.
I'm pretty sure that Alex understands a real serious problem.
There's a bunch of them that Trump and Musk's plans are going to cause.
Things like greater incidents of plane crashes, foodborne illness outbreaks, predatory scams being carried out on consumers.
These are some of the fruit of what the government is doing right now.
It's going to end up happening.
Alex believes the ends justify the means here, but he also knows that the means involve common people getting hurt in really bad ways that he can't defend.
He wants what's on the other side of this, but he does not want to take responsibility for the path that leads there.
jordan holmes
Right.
Well, I mean, just because when they put seatbelts in, people stopped flying through their windshields so much doesn't mean that seatbelts led to people not flying through their windshields.
You can't prove that.
dan friesen
It's a complex and mysterious.
jordan holmes
Never understand it.
Never understand it.
dan friesen
So as these consequences start happening, he's going to be in a position of minimizing these things, carrying water for and justifying the powers that be, because he believes that doing so furthers the larger good goal, which I guess is colonizing space with white people.
The Associated Press reported that the staffing at the airport on the day of the crash was, quote, not normal, and that one air traffic controller was doing the work of two people.
Complicating matters, Elon Musk had called on the head of the FAA to resign around when Trump was inaugurated.
He did so, but there's no clear replacement.
It might be Chris Rushlow, who's an interim administrator, but Reuters reported on January 30th, the day of this episode of Alex's show, quote, the FAA for 10 days has declined to say who is running the agency on an acting basis.
Michael Whitaker was the previous FAA head who quit when Trump came into office.
That's not that crazy of a thing to happen, and replacing him would have been fine in the changing from one administration to another.
One of the reasons this is messy, though, is because in 2022, the FAA imposed fines on Elon's company, Starlink, for quote, violations of safety protocol.
Musk claimed that the FAA was harassing him, and then he was fined again in 2024 directly by Whitaker for, quote, alleged violations of its government license in two rocket launches, according to The Guardian.
There's no way to know exactly what's going on in people's heads, but these circumstances represent another massive conflict of interest for Musk being anywhere near the levers of power for the government.
He has immense personal interest in making these bodies unable to operate because when they work correctly and in the public interest, he gets fined a ton of money.
Alex understands all this, and his career is supposed to be based on fighting against the unelected bureaucrats who had outsized power in our government.
He spent his whole life yelling about George Soros, and yet here he stands, making his career entirely about defending Elon Musk.
And Alex knows how bad this looks to the point where he's willing to call something a coincidence.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's crazy.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
You know, it is one of those things where it's like they're going after that shit.
And the regulations weren't even that tight.
You know, like it's just one of those pieces of evidence of like either go hard against them or you might as well not even have it because they're going to try and the SEC hasn't really affected the stock market in a million years.
And yet they're still going to try and destroy you.
You know, like, it doesn't matter if it's weak capture or strong capture.
Just that you exist at all is a check on their power is what makes them hate you.
You know, it has nothing to do with how much you do against them or not.
dan friesen
Right.
You know what it just dawned on me is like, Alex is calling this a coincidence.
That's insane.
jordan holmes
It's a coincidence.
dan friesen
You know what I you know what I just realized that Elon has Alex's Twitter DMs.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
Very weird.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Coincidence.
dan friesen
I think that there's some bad stuff in there.
jordan holmes
I bet.
There's reasons to kill JFK in there.
dan friesen
That's all I'm saying.
I bet that might be a simple, simple explanation for Alex's throwing his entire career away in order to defend Elon Musk.
Anyway, Trump has a belief that DEI caused the crash.
alex jones
But Trump just came out a few minutes ago and a press conference is still ongoing and blames DEI for weakening FAA in aftermath of Reagan national plane crash.
And there's no doubt that's true that DEI and corporate corruption at Boeing and other areas in the studies has really caused the massive increase of problems and bad service and breakdowns and disasters and near collisions, mid-air collisions going way up.
And this idiot FAA official that said we're going to hire schizophrenics.
I mean, seriously.
And people that see pink elephants.
And I remember that broke a few years ago and I said, is that even real?
And sure as hell, it was him and hearing.
He's like, yep, we're hiring mentally ill people.
They deserve to fly planes, too.
dan friesen
I have no idea why Alex would be worried about people who see pink elephants flying planes.
He sees demons and he's allowed to do a radio show, which I think is probably infinitely more dangerous to the general population.
Maybe the pink elephants are interdimensional flying assistants that only the really good pilots can see.
Like, who's Alex to judge another person's hallucinations?
That's not cool.
So in the real world, the FAA did not say like they want people with active hallucinations to be able to fly planes.
There's a long-standing problem with the FAA where pilots were afraid to utilize mental health resources that could be available to them because doing so could risk their job.
There was a culture of silence that had grown around mental health issues in the field where if you admitted that you wanted to or were seeking treatment for depression or anxiety, you could risk losing your livelihood.
That created an atmosphere where people were suffering but were afraid to get help.
In 2023, the National Transportation Safety Board held a summit called Navigating Mental Health and Aviation that was meant to explore this dynamic and see what could be done to better serve people's needs.
In response to this conversation, the FAA began to make moves to broaden their rules about mental health treatment.
By making guidelines that better address the actual situation pilots are in, the hope is to destigmatize manageable mental health conditions and get appropriate help for people who are experiencing conditions that would make it actually unsafe for them to fly.
Previously, the system relied on self-reporting by pilots and by reports filed by the aviation medical examiners.
The AME had a list of conditions that they were required to report, which put a person at risk of being grounded.
In 2024, the AME empowered their doctors to rely on their own judgment when it came to a list of conditions, including generalized anxiety disorder, situational anxiety, social anxiety disorder, postpartum depression, situational depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, PTSD, and some general categories for unspecific anxiety and depression.
This is the real-world version of what Alex wants to attack.
The other end of it is that the FAA doesn't discriminate in hiring based on disability status, and that was clear in their posted materials in sections around DEI.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
This is about the aviation development program, which requires that, quote, participants meet the same qualifications as any other applicant.
People with disabilities can receive a Schedule One application, but this isn't just like a shortcut to any job.
You still need to be qualified for the job you apply for and able to do what the job entails.
The issue here is that Alex just strongly supports discrimination, and that's what's at the core of all of his messaging.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, that's such like that brutalist 50s logic that sticks with us to this day.
Oh, you're depressed, you can't fly, you'll try and fly the plane into a building.
Just nope, done.
So everybody has to be quiet about it forever and lock it up inside until they want to fly a plane into a building.
dan friesen
I feel like there's some sort of catch that this is similar to, but I don't remember which one.
jordan holmes
I haven't read books before.
dan friesen
No, books are evil.
jordan holmes
You know, it's just a coincidence that books have words in them.
That's what I've heard.
dan friesen
So, you know, Alex had Roger on yesterday.
And, you know, what do you know?
Trump listened.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And he loved it.
jordan holmes
Loved it.
unidentified
He loved it.
alex jones
He's doing those gaggles where he stops with reporters.
I mean, I can't even keep track of it.
And it is exhilarating, but also exhausting.
And then he's got time to watch me and Roger last night and call us up and tell us how much he likes the show and invite us to the White House for dinner soon.
It was already big news when other people called and said, hey, come to Mar-longo.
When do you want to come to the White House?
That was just people in his operation.
I just mentioned it came a big top news story yesterday.
Oh my God, the evil Alex Jones.
And again, I haven't really pushed that or even asked for that stuff because I don't want Alex Jones to be a diversion.
But at the end of the day, from the overall agenda, it's also a litmus test to say, screw you guys.
We're pardoning all the J Sixers.
Screw you guys.
What you did to Alex Jones was made up, exaggerated.
He didn't do anything.
We're not buying into your crap anymore.
Yeah, Don wrote about it, and Drudge took it as the top story.
And it was just my phone was ringing off the hook.
And I'm just like, I guess that elicited Trump to come watch the show and then say he liked it.
And Roger's saying, yeah, I just talked to Trump.
He says the stuff they're declassifying proves the CIA, you know, was involved killing Kennedy.
And then it got millions and millions of views, like 10 million views on the clip from the show.
And I saw people commenting, where's the proof?
What's your source?
And I've got Bloomberg going, what's your source?
You've been invited to the White House.
It's like, come on, people.
dan friesen
Got my people.
So the only thing that I think is really actually important about that clip is that Alex said that the night before, Roger was doing this episode with him, and then Adon Salazar wrote about it, and it went on Drudge.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Now, that reveals one thing to me, and that is that Adon Salazar is still working at Infowars.
unidentified
That's cool.
jordan holmes
He's crazy.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Who is paying him?
dan friesen
Because, I mean, like, if you know anything about the path through the Sandy Hook stuff, you could easily scapegoat him.
jordan holmes
I mean, he has just slid under the radar somehow.
dan friesen
He is probably him and Rob Dew could have a competition for who was the most energetically pursuing the crisis actor shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But Adon Salazar was a huge part of the problem.
And him trying to get Drudge to cover their stories is even another part of what the big problem was.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's no good.
dan friesen
So the fact that we're here in 2025 and Adon Salazar is still working at Infowars is nuts.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it kind of tells you how devalued the written word is.
You know, people don't even care enough that it's your fault that the whole thing started.
dan friesen
Yeah, or at very least, it's like, hey, you suck at this.
You're bad.
You get me in trouble.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I can throw you overboard.
jordan holmes
What are you going to do?
Come on back to work.
What does it take to get fired in terms of like failure?
Like, there's no job performance issues.
There's only just like, oh, well, he said I'm a prick.
Got to get rid of him.
dan friesen
I don't know.
I mean, I think probably not liking Alex might get you fired.
jordan holmes
I mean, in all honesty, you could probably.
dan friesen
Standing up for yourself.
jordan holmes
Adon Salazar and company failed so hard, the entire business is gone.
And they're still working there.
dan friesen
Probably working for Chase now over at Alex Jones Live.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's probably that's job security.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
So Alex realizes that maybe he was talking a lot out of school about getting invited to the White House and stuff.
So he realizes he's got to.
jordan holmes
Maybe he should walk that back.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
Oh.
dan friesen
But he's got to bring it back to the center.
alex jones
Wow.
And I mean, I don't even have time to barely eat dinner with my seven-year-old daughter or wife.
I'm eating dinner like once a week with them now.
And they understand.
I barely have time to see my parents.
My dad's been sick.
I still get over there once or twice a week because history's happening now.
I have to do this.
So the left all thinks I'm like somebody that wants to be in the cool club and, ooh, let's all make a big story and put pressure on Trump to stop him from having Alex Jones around.
That'll just make Trump send a jet to get me.
Just in case you don't know.
Okay.
So, so, and I don't even want to make myself the big story.
I could definitely make myself the big story.
I could be hanging out at the White House all day, but that gets in the way of Elon that has moved into the White House, into the Lincoln bedroom, and is running doge out of it, working 20 hours a day at least.
The guy sleeps like two hours a day.
He's not there so he can act powerful.
He already is.
He's there to make sure the mission gets done.
So, no, I don't need to be hanging around the White House distracting people.
I'll continue at my post-attacking.
Now, I'll go up if he really keeps pushing it and have dinner with him.
Ian I and Roger have a private dinner.
That's what he wants to do.
Great.
I'll do that.
But the left doesn't understand.
I want to dominate you and stop you and crush you.
You lying scum that have tried to destroy my country and my family.
That's my mission.
That's the brass ring.
That's the focus.
Nothing else even compares.
And I like eating dinner with my wife and daughter and playing board games.
I like going on hikes with my adult children.
I like going to seeing movies and comedy clubs and eating fine steak dinners.
It's all been put on the side.
Because the war for the future, destiny of humanity is now and we're winning.
And I'm not about to sit on the sidelines and rest on my laurels and think we got this in the bag.
Not until their entire globalist transhumanist death cult's been dismantled.
Not until the new world order is in chains.
unidentified
Sure.
alex jones
And then I'll take some time off.
dan friesen
Alex has taken multiple vacations in the last few months.
His show is basically just him taking time off because he doesn't prepare at all and he just rants about dumb shit he saw on Twitter for a job.
I'm conflicted about this Trump dinner thing because I don't know why Trump wouldn't associate with Alex at this point.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Alex is super embarrassing, but Trump's hanging out with Musk.
He made RFK the head of HHS, and he recently made dipshit radio host Dan Bongino the deputy director of the FBI.
There's no reason that Trump should think that it would be a negative for him to hang out with Alex.
At the same time, Alex's whole thing about not wanting to be the cool guy hanging out with Trump is complete bullshit.
He would trip over his feet if Trump or Musk offered him an audience with them at any time because the association with power is basically all Alex has left other than a social media account at this point.
Consider the fact that the only reason this conversation is even happening on a public radio show is that Alex needed to brag about how Trump allegedly called him after the show with Roger the night before.
Alex didn't need to reveal that information, but he did it because it made him look like a big boy.
All of this rant is really just Alex's internal struggle between his desperate need to be associated with the other cool kids and his awareness that his brand requires him to be above that kind of vanity and how those two things are deeply at odds with each other.
jordan holmes
You think Adrian Dittman could be deputy treasurer?
I think we've got that.
I think that's available.
dan friesen
I think Musk would call him like the master of coins.
jordan holmes
Totally.
Yeah, I think that's the way you go.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And it's a dork-ass title.
jordan holmes
Especially if he's not real.
That's the best way to do it.
You hire somebody, call him Adrian Dittman, move on with our lives.
He doesn't even have a South African accent.
That would make it perfect.
unidentified
Sure.
jordan holmes
You hear him talking and he's like, ah, I've been deputy treasurer before.
unidentified
You know, you'd be like, ah, I think he's Elon.
dan friesen
What we did is we plugged in all of the intelligence of past Treasury department folks.
jordan holmes
That's the trick.
dan friesen
And we have created a super treasurer.
jordan holmes
Chat GP treasurer.
There we go.
Did it.
dan friesen
Didmin it.
Nope.
So Alex, he's gone with a conspiracy coincidence angle on the plane crash.
Sure.
But maybe there's something suspicious.
jordan holmes
Come on.
There's something suspicious.
He's there.
Come on.
alex jones
Everybody understands this.
We have new listeners all the time.
I want to be very clear.
Within 30 minutes, the corporate media was blaming Trump and Elon Musk and then Hegseth.
Saying they made cuts.
Trump made cuts that haven't even been implemented yet.
Judges are trying to block it, as you know.
It'll get overturned.
Blaming them for this when they didn't even know what had happened.
And now we know they had fully staffed air traffic controllers, the passenger plane, American Airlines, with all the finger skaters, Russian American, coming in, was authorized, doing its job, had control of the airspace.
It was their airspace.
And the tower was saying to the helicopter, you're going to crash.
You're coming into a collision.
And we have the video of their telemetry screens, because they record all that, released within hours.
So it was the helicopter.
We don't know what happened yet, but it had nothing to do with problems at the FAA.
It was a malfunction.
jordan holmes
Wait.
alex jones
Somebody hacked the helicopter.
That can happen.
I'm speculating.
But it was the helicopter.
dan friesen
So within 30 minutes of the Sandy Hook shooting, Alex blamed Obama and the gun grabbers.
Within 30 minutes of Hurricane Helene, Alex blamed Biden.
His claim that the media blaming Musk and Trump isn't even true.
But if we pretend that it is, he has no leg to stand on.
He's just doing defensive spin instead of what he usually does, which is attacking spin, smearing his imaginary enemies by exploiting tragedies.
As far as what Trump did or didn't do, part of the problem is that the chaos he's causing makes it very difficult to tell exactly what effects are due to what.
For instance, a few days after getting into office, Trump offered all federal workers the option of a deferred resignation where they could quit and then continue to get paid for about the next nine months.
It's unclear what level of staffing changes that could have caused.
Also, Trump put in place a hiring freeze, which has been challenged by the courts, but it also obviously had some effect.
Reporters who have looked into it aren't sure if the freeze itself applied to air traffic controllers because that's not spelled out.
Add to that the absence of an acknowledged head of the FAA, and you kind of see how this is, you're unable to solve any problems that might come up.
The media wasn't saying that Trump's actions caused the crash.
In fact, here's what PBS said.
Quote, Trump in his first week in office did announce sweeping personnel changes, including a hiring freeze.
But aviation experts said there was little that Trump did that could have precipitated the crash between a commercial jet from Wichita, Kansas, and a military Blackhawk helicopter.
There simply was too little time, less than 10 days after Trump was sworn in, for any of his broadly worded executive orders to have an effect, experts said.
Alex is seeing people on social media blaming Trump for the crash and then just pretending that's what the media is saying.
And that makes a lot of sense.
Alex considers himself to be the media and all he does is scroll through Twitter.
So every other idiot on Twitter is the media to him.
Like journalism doesn't exist as a concept.
He's just getting mad at Twitter and other dipshits on social media.
Like, who knows who any of these people are that he's mad about what they posted?
jordan holmes
You know, okay.
So here's the problem with this, right?
You can't prove it yourself that it's not the FAA's fault because you already said it's black people at the FAA who aren't good at their jobs, right?
So you can't be like, oh, it turns out it's not the FFA, the FAA's fault.
Because then you're just, you're obviously a racist.
You immediately went, ah, it's black people.
And then you're like, hey, guys, it's not our fault.
Like, so it's, if it is your fault, it's black people.
Since it's not your fault, it's not our fault.
dan friesen
Well, it's a complicated place for Alex to find his racist mind.
jordan holmes
It's a coincidence.
dan friesen
And, you know, that's why you start off this path with like, maybe the world is complicated and things happen.
And, you know, accidents happen.
And then you dig around a little more and you're like, you know what?
Maybe I can swing at this ball after all.
Maybe I can make something out of this.
jordan holmes
Not even your racism is genuine, man.
Dark, dark days.
dan friesen
So we end up with maybe someone hacked the helicopter.
jordan holmes
That sounds right.
dan friesen
That's probably what happened.
jordan holmes
Sounds true.
alex jones
And for decades, all the Blackhawks, all the commercial aircraft have systems that aren't just autopilot, but can be remotely accessed by the airlines.
And that's in the documents.
Bush talked about it right after 9-11.
They shut up about it real quick.
Well, if you have those systems, somebody can hack into them or they can malfunction.
And a lot of experts, and I've got the articles and reports here, are saying, let's investigate that.
We're not saying that's it.
I'm saying it should be looked at because it makes no sense that just here comes this helicopter.
Let me just fly over one of the most busy airports in the world with a bunch of runways with two different large aircraft coming over their landing lights on.
Let me just fly right in front of that big giant aircraft with huge lights all over it.
When you're in a helicopter, you ever been in a helicopter, folks?
I mean, you see everything.
Here, let's just go.
I mean, you don't get near an airport like this.
jordan holmes
Full frontal.
alex jones
Telling them way out where you're coming from.
And I'm telling you, helicopters don't get priority over big airliners.
None of this makes sense.
But what does it have to do with Trump?
dan friesen
So Alex just can't resist conspiracy thinking.
His angle is supposed to be that accidents happen because that's the correct defensive position for Trump and Musk.
But he knows that's boring.
He yearns for the elaborate plot and the boogeyman he needs to be pretending to fight.
Like he can't get out of his own way.
And that's something I think is really interesting about this episode as just sort of a snapshot is like you can almost feel him talking himself into like, can we put some garlic in this?
jordan holmes
It's got to be there.
It's not a coincidence.
dan friesen
We got to season this.
jordan holmes
I know it's my job to say it's a coincidence, but I just can't.
dan friesen
It's the most expedient route to get Trump and Musk off the hook.
And that's why my instinct is to go this direction, but my muscles won't allow it.
jordan holmes
You know what's crazy is that if you're asking Alex to do that, you're wrong.
Of course he's going to turn a conspiracy into it, right?
It's just that Alex himself is forcing himself to try the beginning part where he's like, nah, it was just a coincidence.
And then just can't do it.
Like if he had a boss who said, don't do the coincidence or do the coincidence thing, he wouldn't be able to do it.
You would be a bad boss for even asking him to.
He's a bad boss to himself.
dan friesen
Well, I think it's a cycle of oppositional defiance.
Sure.
Because he gets on Twitter and he sees people saying, like, oh, Trump caused this plane crash or whatever.
And then he's like, ah, that's what the media is saying.
And so then he needs to have a knee-jerk reaction to that.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
If it were Biden in office, it would be, no, Biden did this on purpose.
It's a false flag or whatever.
It's very simple.
But he's like, ah, shit, that path on the tree, the logic tree, doesn't work because Trump is in office and he's already taken over all of the globalist infrastructure and all this.
So what do I do?
If accidents happen, man, come on.
jordan holmes
It's not black people.
I don't know what caused it.
dan friesen
Accidents happen.
But then as he starts talking down that route, his oppositional defiance to himself kicks in.
jordan holmes
Got to do it.
dan friesen
And he has to talk himself into a conspiracy.
alex jones
Interesting how the media was ready to really jump on this within 30 minutes.
dan friesen
Hmm.
alex jones
You know, I've said the globalists could hack in, take out the power grid, turn off the energy grid, blame it on Trump.
Once he got in, I said cyber attacks.
I mean, I've been predicting that.
I'm not saying that's what this is, but you don't normally see Blackhawk crews just decide to go on an unscheduled flight through some of the most busy airspace in the world, right over one of the most busy airports in the world with a whole bunch of airplanes coming in for landings.
And you don't get anywhere around those unless you're authorized and already have a plan to be landing there.
You usually file it long before.
dan friesen
So all of this is like building a case.
He's talking himself into it's not a coincidence.
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
Accidents don't happen.
jordan holmes
No, this is him trying to be like, no, I never said anything about Sandy Hook.
I never said that there were questions.
I mean, I have questions.
There are tons of questions.
Have you seen any of that shit?
That didn't happen at all.
dan friesen
There's so many anomalies.
jordan holmes
It takes 10 seconds.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
It's just, he can't not.
dan friesen
Nope.
And so he tries to defend this a little bit.
And some of the cornerstone is like this idea that the media all said Trump did it.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But he fails.
He just falls right on his face.
alex jones
And here's some articles and videos from Sikorsky or Lockheed Martin demonstration of their autonomous Blackhawk helicopters in Washington just before the U.S. election.
And then you've got the community notes on there on action people are attacking Musk and Trump.
They explain the Aviation Safety Committee was disbanded, but the committee members working for federal government were not fired from their primary jobs.
They advise the TSA, not FAA, on their security functions, which isn't typically relevant to mid-air collisions, LA Times source.
But still, the corporate media in most places is trying to say that it's all Trump, Elon Doge, Hegset's fault.
Headline, the first big challenge to Hegset, why did this happen?
Well, he better put out why it happened.
They better find out.
But how do you find out when the helicopter's a pile of ashes and the people are dead?
Hmm.
Why this helicopter just take off when Trump's dominating the globalists, dismantling them, and just magically flying the most busy airport ever ride into a passenger plane?
And the corporate media is all ready to blame Trump.
dan friesen
So Alex has just presented some tweets as his primary evidence for things.
Like one claim was that Trump's firings leading to these safety advisory positions being vacant, right?
That was something that had a community note on it.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that was supposed to be the important thing.
dan friesen
And the community note that Alex reads refuting it is sourced to the LA Times, which is part of the corporate media.
jordan holmes
Bummer.
dan friesen
All of the examples he's providing of real media sources seem to be people clarifying that it might not be good to just blame Trump.
That seems counter to the entire premise that Alex is running with, and that's because his premise is a lie.
It's a lie that he needs in order to create fascination and intrigue around this story if he plans on reporting it as a conspiracy.
He's dipped his toe into that water, and you can see the old tricks he pulls coming out.
If this is just a situation where accidents happen and it's wrong to blame Trump for it, you can just move on and say that it's not his fault.
But Alex is addicted to the game, so he starts talking about the story, and it's not satisfying to just move along.
There's too many vague points that won't be understood for months until there's a full investigation of this incident.
All of those vague points, those anomalies, for Alex, those represent profit.
That's money that's being left on the table.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
He's introduced too many conspiracy elements to this story and started to incorporate his past predictions, like attacks on the power grid, into the narrative as a whole.
It's gaining momentum, so now it's important to dress things up with the normal suspicious patterns.
Isn't it weird the media all had their script so fast?
It's almost like they knew what was going to happen in advance.
This is a type of reporting Alex does that's based on feelings.
He's creating the feeling that the media all had their story straight in half an hour, and that's suspicious.
The goal of creating that feeling is to give the listener a reason to accept the conspiracy explanation for events that have happened before it's too late for actual explanations to be available to them to have answers to these questions that are now just quote-unquote anomalies.
Alex knows that this is the way that he makes money.
Tragedy happens and he comes up with interesting explanations for why the big, bad, imaginary enemies are totally secretly to blame for it.
And the only way that things will ever get better is if you accept this interpretation and buy his CMOS.
He understands that game and that's why he can't just leave this well enough alone and say that accidents happen.
It would be an act of him robbing himself.
So you can, it's fascinating to me that like it's a perfectly acceptable defense to say accidents happen.
Any other human could lead the show with this is a tragedy.
Our hearts go out to everybody who is involved.
But Alex can't.
jordan holmes
Can't do it.
dan friesen
It's directly counter to every money-making instinct that he has.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Yeah.
dan friesen
He must exploit tragedy.
jordan holmes
And it's smart.
It's smart because what he's doing is the same thing that, you know, he's doing Twitter engagement, essentially.
Some asshole posts it's all Trump's fault for doing the FFA or FFAA thing.
dan friesen
You're hung up on the future farmers of America.
jordan holmes
Yeah, right.
And then some other asshole is like, no, it's not.
And then they fight.
And then the LA Times gets a little community note.
And then they fight.
And then Alex says, see, they're all saying the same shit.
And then it's out here.
Yeah, right.
dan friesen
And what's interesting to me about that is that, like, I perfectly conceive of how this is working on Twitter and racking up views and numbers and stuff like that.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But as a radio show, it's not good.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
It's.
jordan holmes
It feels like a one-sided Twitter argument.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And as a continuation of Alex's career, I think it's tragic.
jordan holmes
Not good.
dan friesen
So that's fun, honestly.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, it is like there was a certain amount of creativity back before instantaneous news, you know, where you'd have sports talk radio and they'd really have to spend like an hour discussing something that could be like five minutes long.
Like, oh, yeah, he needs to shoot better.
Boom.
They got to spend an hour.
Ah, his girlfriend, you know, like that whole thing.
But now, you know, there's that like, oh, I don't even need to provide context.
This guy sucks.
Next one.
This guy's, you know, there's just so much constant information that it doesn't require the same creativity that it used to.
dan friesen
You know, no, not at all.
jordan holmes
He's just responding to somebody.
Oh, the media always has it.
Spend some time in there.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And like, you know, for like what you're describing, like back these sports talk shows would be like, we're getting word from trainers that here's a situation with an ankle or whatever.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Now it's just like some asshole said.
dan friesen
Yeah, with a like no picture on Twitter and an anonymous person.
jordan holmes
Some asshole.
dan friesen
Yeah.
What does this have to do with the ankle?
jordan holmes
It's not even fun to do like Twitter handle at blank, blank, blank 69, 420 anywhere.
It sucks.
They are, they're just everywhere.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Boo.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Boo.
Yeah.
dan friesen
Come on.
jordan holmes
I say boo to the Twitter.
dan friesen
So Roger is back on because Trump called Alex and keep doing it.
And the JFK files are going to come out any day now.
So Roger has some excuses for why the JFK files aren't out yet.
alex jones
Last night, you did an emergency broadcast from me that's gotten tens of millions of views.
Thanks to listeners for watching out of the Alex Jones Network studios.
And you were very clear that Trump told you five years ago at the first declassification of 80% and then the new one he signed last week that has 15 days for them to develop the planet or law to release will, quote, seal the fate of the CIA and the deep state that we're still fighting basically the grandkids of, and that Trump said to you, it is just so horrible that he didn't release the first time and then went on CIA involvement.
And I love most of the listeners know you're good friends with Trump and all the rest of it.
And Trump's even made some of those statements public.
They said, what's the source?
It's the president.
But then you got a call and other folks.
And we got, you know, without getting into all that, it's ridiculous for the idea that we would be saying something, you would be saying something when you're a known confidant of Trump and it would be something that we were just making up.
But Roger, recap all the history and then what you're expecting and what you've heard.
This is obviously classified, so you can just give your scalps of it about what is about to come out and why they're so scared.
roger stone
Well, Alex, I think you've got it exactly right.
Back in the late 90s, a law was passed that mandated the release of all the declass and the declassification of all the materials pertaining to JFK's assassination.
The date they set fell early in Donald Trump's first term in 2017.
And I brought it to his attention in a phone conversation.
I said, you know, this is coming up.
What are you going to do?
He wasn't aware of the deadline, but he said he'd check into it.
Then he got back to me and he said, you're right.
This is all set to happen.
What do you think I should do?
And my recommendation was to release it all.
It'd been more than 50 years.
There's nobody involved who is still alive, by and large.
And if elements of the government were involved in the murder of American president, well, the American people should know that.
So he told me he was going to think about it.
And I got the strong impression he's going to release everything.
And then he released about 80% of it.
Now, we found out some very significant things in what he did release.
For example, the KGB had run their own investigation.
They had determined that there was a conspiracy, a plot, and that Lyndon Johnson was the centerpiece of it.
The French intelligence had also run their own investigation, come up with the same conclusion.
But then, ultimately, he released about 80% of it, held back about 20%.
And when I asked him why he did that, he told me that Mike Pompeo, then the head of the CIA, had convinced him that it was too explosive and it would expose the agency's methods and sources.
So then I said, well, but you've seen it all.
What is it?
And he said, it's so terrible, I can't tell you.
I just can't tell you, but someday you'll know.
dan friesen
Oh, wow.
Trump sounds like shit then.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
This doesn't make Trump sound good.
jordan holmes
Here's what I got for you: Mike Pomporios.
Next flavor.
dan friesen
You know what?
Has he put out an album?
jordan holmes
Ooh, that's a good point.
dan friesen
I don't want to.
jordan holmes
No.
I walk it back.
dan friesen
Change it.
I don't need it.
No, I'm going to save it.
I'm going to save this.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
Mike Pompeo Oreos.
And then I'll watch a speech that he gave at the Council of Foreign Relations.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
You know, I'll eat the Oreo while listening to him wax on about foreign policy.
That works.
Look, that sounds bad.
jordan holmes
It doesn't sound good.
dan friesen
I think, you know, you're trying to make a hero out of this Trump character.
And I think that what you've shown is that he is weak and malleable and subordinate and maybe a fabulous.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
You know, maybe he's telling you, oh, you don't even know.
It's so crazy.
Maybe he's a liar and weak.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it does feel like a lot of the times what they do is they just say the worst possible things, but they make it sound like it's good.
dan friesen
If I look, maybe I have a Devil May Care kind of streak to me, but if I am in Trump's position, I fuck around, accidentally become president, I find out about the JFK stuff, and I'm willing to tell a dear, dear friend of mine that it's so horrible.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Oh, it's so horrible.
jordan holmes
It's the worst thing I've ever seen.
dan friesen
I would risk my life to release that.
And if the CIA had said you can't do it, I would say, well, we're at an impasse, and this is coming out.
jordan holmes
Yeah, then you're dead.
The CIA kills the president all the time.
dan friesen
Then I lie to Pompeo.
jordan holmes
There haven't even been four presidents who have ever made it to term.
They all get killed halfway through.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Replaced by a CIA spy.
dan friesen
I think that what Roger is somewhat describing, though not putting it this way, is that Trump failed a test.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Trump failed a very, very serious integrity test.
Right.
And we're trying to create the appearance that that is a sign of character.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And I think that sucks.
jordan holmes
Right.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
I mean, in their world, showing moderation and restraint is not a sign of good moral character.
No.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
It's the wrong move.
dan friesen
Being convinced to not blow the lid off JFK assassination stuff at the behest of Mike Pompeo is not a flex.
jordan holmes
It would be really nice if they just got it out of our fucking system.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
It would be nice if we were just fucking done with it.
dan friesen
That's the only strong feeling I have about the declassification stuff.
When I said I didn't care earlier, I do mean that I don't particularly care.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But that argument that you're making is the only.
jordan holmes
It's the only thing that makes it.
What are we hiding?
We've committed like two genocides since then.
Move on.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
Let's go.
We've accepted whatever.
dan friesen
And this like specter of what could be in there is so fucking annoying.
And it allows Alex and Roger to play these games.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So Alex, back in the day, he interviewed LBJ's mistress.
jordan holmes
That sounds right.
dan friesen
And Alex tells the story about it.
And then Roger accidentally reveals that Alex might be remembering a Geraldo piece that he saw.
jordan holmes
That might be.
alex jones
Madeline Duncan Brown twice on my access TV show and once on my syndicate radio show in person.
She still lived here in Austin.
She was the admitted main mistress of LBJ, had a son with him.
dan friesen
The main one.
unidentified
And she did have her.
roger stone
Like him was a dead ringer for LBJ.
alex jones
Yeah, but she was on record.
It's not even debated.
And she said, you know, she was there a few days before in Dallas.
And he came in to have sex with her in the hotel room.
And she told me this right there, you know, in the studio.
And he said, that son of a bitch, Kennedy, will never embarrass me again when he gets here in a few days.
And then she heard him talking to other men saying, I want that son of a bitch dead.
roger stone
All of that is accurate.
It's interesting that I was in a green room with Geraldo Rivera at Fox.
This was after I wrote my book.
And I told him that I had seen his iconic interview with Madeline Brown, in which she tells him that the night before the assassination, she had an assignation with LBJ in the Fort Worth Hotel.
And he squeezed her hand.
jordan holmes
That's a similar story.
roger stone
Tomorrow, I won't have to put up with those Irish sons of bitches ever again.
alex jones
Yeah, that's the exact quote.
And she told me that we've got to find the video.
roger stone
And when I asked Geraldo about that, he said, who's Madeline Brown?
jordan holmes
He's done a lot of stuff, and I haven't.
dan friesen
That's almost insulting.
jordan holmes
I mean, to say it to Alex's face instead of just going with, how about that?
I'm going with, how about that?
Right.
dan friesen
And I think that there's something to be said for, like, oh, yeah, you know, after you did that interview, she was also on Geraldo or something like that.
But to retell the exact story and refer to it as something that happened in an iconic Geraldo interview.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Or an iconic.
jordan holmes
The use of the word iconic is incredibly insulting.
He chose that word very specifically.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I think there's a passive aggression at very least that's at play.
jordan holmes
I think he should give out pens.
You've just been rat fucked by Stone.
You know, like just boom.
There you go.
dan friesen
Welcome to the story.
jordan holmes
I said iconic.
Bam.
There you go.
You got fucked.
That's the way you should do it.
dan friesen
That's the smartest.
Well, he had those autographed stones.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but that's really fucking stupid, and he should be embarrassed about that.
dan friesen
I have one of them.
A listener sent me one.
jordan holmes
Yeah, no, I understand.
But you didn't come up with the idea of signing a rock.
dan friesen
No, but it's a good idea if your name's Stone.
jordan holmes
Is it?
dan friesen
Yeah, Oliver Stone did it.
jordan holmes
Did he?
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
God damn it.
People with the name Stone got to get their shit together.
dan friesen
His son, who I've forgotten his name, but is on an Infowars sometimes.
jordan holmes
Stone, not a very creative groupage of names.
dan friesen
So we got one last clip here, and it's Alex trying to get into the weeds with Roger about this helicopter story.
And Roger, eh, doesn't care.

What do you make of this helicopter thing?
I had a bunch of FAA experts on.
They say none of it makes sense.
If you look at how all this works, stuff was turned off.
This is the most busy airspace in North America.
And this helicopter for minutes are saying, stop, stop, stop.
It's like flying around in the flight path.
What the hell is that?
roger stone
Well, first of all, we have to pray for all those victims of both aircrafts.
The whole thing is so horrific, just horrific.
In all honesty, today, because of our great show last night, I've been completely immersed in JFK, RFK, and MLK because of the media inquiries that our show last night generated.
So I've read a little bit about this.
My son, as you know, is a very accomplished pilot.
He told me, Dad, something's not right here, but I haven't had a chance to have an extensive conversation with him.
alex jones
Well, as soon as you're able, I want to have you hit any other points.
But I love the president really liked last night's show, too.
roger stone
I heard that.
Yes, I heard that.
dan friesen
From who?
alex jones
Well, I'm just, I mean, I'm flattered who's watching.
roger stone
The president is a big fan of yours, Alex.
He knows that you've stuck with him through thick and thin.
You've taken some criticism.
I remember when I first went to you, we met during the JFK memorial celebrations, and I said to you, you know what, Donald Trump's going to be president.
And you said, well, you know, Ted Cruz is a Texan.
He's been talking to me.
And I've been thinking about maybe supporting him.
I'm not that political, really.
And I said to Alex, Donald Trump is going to be president.
And you have huge influence with Republican primary voters because of the giant audience of conservatives who watch Infowars.
And if anyone will read my book, The Making of the President 2016, which you can find at stonezone.com.
alex jones
No, that's totally true, but I'd met you a few years before at another JFK deal.
But I remember you saying, hey, I'm coming to Austin.
Trust me, he's me the president.
And I knew you were a serious guy.
I said, well, come on.
And you got me on board.
dan friesen
This is like Steve Pieczenik telling Alex, like, I've misled you for 20 years.
jordan holmes
The whole thing.
The whole thing.
dan friesen
I'm fascinated by the energy difference between the two of them, though.
Like, Roger knows he's connected to Trump.
And so he kind of has a little bit of big dick energy.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure.
dan friesen
You know, there's a little bit of like, I don't have to prove anything.
jordan holmes
He's very relaxed.
Yeah.
dan friesen
And Alex is desperate to demonstrate this connection and use Roger to validate it.
jordan holmes
Yeah, his desperation is delectable.
dan friesen
Yep, delectable and loud.
unidentified
Yes.
dan friesen
So also, the way he's describing their relationship is shady.
Roger is telling Alex that Trump is going to win, so he should get on board.
Like, it sounds more like a negotiation than trying to get someone to support a candidate.
jordan holmes
A little bit.
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
That is bad.
jordan holmes
Oh, I mean, boy, just hearing the words like, oh, you were telling me I'm not very political.
Like, wow.
dan friesen
The InfoWars guy?
jordan holmes
Yep.
Not very political, huh?
dan friesen
The guy who worked for Pat Buchanan's campaign before he was on the pair that tried to get Ron Paul elected for Decades.
jordan holmes
I don't really care about Ted Cruz.
You just never know.
How would the president?
dan friesen
How would the presentation on Alex's show in 2015 have been different if he was like, I'm talking?
jordan holmes
I'm a higher gun.
dan friesen
I'm talking to Ted Cruz about maybe supporting his campaign.
But hey, this Roger Stone guy is coming around and he's making some pretty compelling points.
Hey, I'm up for grabs.
How would that be different than the way he actually tried to present himself on air?
jordan holmes
Well, because his whole thing is everybody else takes a big bag of money to say whatever it is that they're saying to you.
And it would look real bad if he said, I took a big bag of money to say this to you.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
And a metaphorical big bag of money.
It might not even be big.
jordan holmes
It's not even big enough.
dan friesen
Validation.
jordan holmes
Whatever amount it was not big enough.
dan friesen
Hey, Roger, will you play along while I pretend that I'm Trump's best friend?
Yeah, sure.
I'll do that for you.
jordan holmes
I've got that.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yep.
You'll be that close to power.
Yeah.
You've always wanted legitimacy.
It has been given to you.
And then like the ironic genie wishes of old.
dan friesen
Ted Cruz isn't going to give a fuck about you.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
I'll still come on and be passive aggressive with you and give you a pen.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
You got to get pens.
That's the way to go.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Man.
jordan holmes
It really adds insult to injury if you get handed a pen.
Because a card, sure, but that could be anything.
A pen, that's a man who's got 48 cents to spend.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And you should probably make it like a funny font on the pen.
jordan holmes
If anything, it should reveal a naked Roger Stone whenever you flip it over.
dan friesen
Oh, that would be good.
jordan holmes
That's the way to do it.
dan friesen
That'd be good.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
That's our next merch.
jordan holmes
Yep.
Making Roger's Stone pens.
That's the way to do it.
Welcome to the Stone Bone Zone.
dan friesen
Right.
Yep.
So anyway, there's a lot going on in the world, and I feel like we are not capturing a great deal of it.
jordan holmes
Not here.
dan friesen
I feel like there's almost like an ability to cover a thing.
You know?
Sure.
There was the plane crash, and Alex was able to try and struggle with that.
Yeah.
I just, I was looking through like a list of Trump's executive orders and shit, and it's just baffling the amount of stuff that is not being addressed on his show at all.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But what do you expect, I guess?
jordan holmes
I mean, he doesn't have time to get into.
Am I sure that it was in a coincidence?
He doesn't have time for that.
How could he get into 200 executive orders?
Just not possible.
dan friesen
Well, do I think this is just the way things work in a complex world?
jordan holmes
Do I think it is?
dan friesen
I think that's something that if he did the level of preparation that he pretends to, he maybe should have come to a conclusion before getting on air about that.
jordan holmes
You know, but that's the thing about this funny mixed-up world of ours.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So complicated.
He didn't have time.
dan friesen
No, he couldn't think about whether cause and effect.
jordan holmes
Normally he has time, but this time, out of nowhere.
Coincidence.
dan friesen
So anyway, we'll be back with another episode.
See where, oh, we might get into February.
jordan holmes
Ooh, very exciting.
dan friesen
Super Bowl's around the corner.
jordan holmes
Getting there.
Oh, that'll be great.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I'm looking forward to that.
dan friesen
So that'll be down the road.
But until then, we have a website.
unidentified
Indeed, we do.
jordan holmes
It's SnowdFight.com.
dan friesen
Yep, we'll be back.
But until then, I'm Neo.
I'm Leo.
I'm DZX Clark.
I am the Mysterious Professor.
alex jones
Woo, yeah, woo, yeah, woo.
dan friesen
And now here comes the sex robots.
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
jordan holmes
I'm a first-time caller.
unidentified
I'm a huge fan.
jordan holmes
I love your work.
