Knowledge Fight. | |
| I love you. | ||
| Hey, everybody. | ||
| Welcome back to Knowledge Fight. | ||
| I'm Dan. | ||
| I'm Jordan. | ||
| We're a couple dudes like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. | ||
| Oh, indeed we are, Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Dan. | ||
| Jordan. | ||
| Quick question for you. | ||
| What's up? | ||
| What's your bright spot today, buddy? | ||
| I'm going to go first. | ||
| My bright spot today is yesterday, as we're recording this, was the first time I played tennis this year. | ||
| With my cousin, we went out, we played some tennis. | ||
| It was supposed to be warmer, and it turned out to be only 40 degrees. | ||
| And there's snow on the ground right now. | ||
| There's snow on the ground right now. | ||
| It was very cold. | ||
| It was very cold. | ||
| But yeah, we did it. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| I'm an old man. | ||
| Everything hurts. | ||
| Rank yourself on a scale of zero to Alcaraz. | ||
| I'll tell you what. | ||
| Here's what happened, though. | ||
| And I'm not going to put my business out there too much. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| This is the first set of tennis I had won off of Ben for... | ||
| This feels more like you're putting Ben's business on the streets. | ||
| Very first time I've won. | ||
| Very first time. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| This feels less of you talking about your business than shitting on his game. | ||
| I'm just telling you that I was amazing. | ||
| It was truly an incredible performance. | ||
| It's got to be either you were amazing or he was bad. | ||
| He wasn't great. | ||
| It was not a good day for him. | ||
| See, look at this. | ||
| Talking that shit. | ||
| One day back on the tennis court and you're already... | ||
| Peacockin' around. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What am I gonna do? | |
| Not peacock around? | ||
| I've never won before. | ||
| You gotta do it. | ||
| I get one shot. | ||
| How did the... | ||
| Was it like three sets? | ||
| I panicked. | ||
| Close enough. | ||
| I liked it. | ||
| That's great. | ||
| No, we played one set. | ||
| It was six to four. | ||
| Six to four. | ||
| Six to four. | ||
| Twenty-five or six to four. | ||
| Great song by Chicago. | ||
| That sounds true. | ||
| It is. | ||
| It's definitely true. | ||
| I don't know about the great song part. | ||
| Yeah, it's great. | ||
| A lot of horns. | ||
| Alright, what's your bright spot? | ||
| I was thinking about how there have been, like I haven't had a food thing in a while, and I think that it's been slow over at the unnamed grocery store, and I think that what it has to be now, because I think that was unsatisfying anyway, as a 2025 thing. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I'm going to eat something strange. | ||
| Diminishing returns. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| If people want to send things to the P.O. box that are fun, maybe I'll try some fun foods and shit that people send. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But I think more interesting is 2025 is the year of this pinky ring. | ||
| I was literally... | ||
| You've been swirling it around. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I have. | |
| You've been playing with it like a conductor. | ||
| And I think that what it should be... | ||
| It's just a pinky ring! | ||
| Right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But I can review life situations as someone who's wearing a pinky ring. | ||
| With a pinky ring versus without a pinky ring. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And so I can say that I went to the grocery store with a pinky ring. | ||
| That is true. | ||
| It felt almost no different. | ||
| Almost no different. | ||
| Almost no different. | ||
| Almost? | ||
| Well, there was the slight awareness that I was wearing a pinky ring. | ||
| There's a little weight on your pinky. | ||
| Your pinky is slightly heavier. | ||
| Yeah, and there was the walking to the store and thinking like, am I going to feel, is everyone going to be staring at my pinky ring? | ||
| Okay, that is an interesting question. | ||
| There's a self-consciousness. | ||
| There's a question that I had been avoiding about the pinky ring. | ||
| Are you inviting attention on the pinky ring? | ||
| How would I do that? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| You've been swaying it about. | ||
| In this conversation, you've been pulling a lot of pinky moves. | ||
| I feel like I'm talking... | ||
| You Dr. Evil me a couple of times? | ||
| I did not Dr. Evil you. | ||
| No, I don't think I am. | ||
| I don't think I'm bringing attention. | ||
| Well, I mean, do you want people to notice the pinky ring? | ||
| Not really. | ||
| I want to experience what life is like within a pinky ring prism. | ||
| Right, but what if... | ||
| Prism, not prison. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| But, and this is something that I don't know. | ||
| Perhaps you'll discover. | ||
| Obviously, this is your foray into pinky ringdom. | ||
| I just have always assumed that if you wear a pinky ring, people are going to be like, oh, hey! | ||
| What's up with that on your pinky? | ||
| So far, zero questions. | ||
| Also, no one has given me tribute as if I'm a mob boss or anything, so I've avoided that. | ||
| No tips of the cap? | ||
| No nothing? | ||
| I don't know if I've seen many people wearing caps that are tippable. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| Fair enough. | ||
| So I'll keep you up to date on various life situations that I get in and how my pinky ring affects or does not affect them. | ||
| Excellent. | ||
| So today, Jordan, we've got an episode to go over. | ||
| We're going to be talking about February 5th, 2025. | ||
| Here are the pinky ring. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Yep. | ||
| That is what it is. | ||
| That is what it is. | ||
| And the world shall accept that. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| So this episode is interesting. | ||
| Alex lies about a fair number of things, and it's full of shit. | ||
| And so we'll talk about that. | ||
| But first, let's take a little moment to say hello to some new wonks. | ||
| Ooh, that's a great idea. | ||
| So first, DD Mega Doodoo, you are the love of my life. | ||
| You make me the happiest wonk alive. | ||
| Thank you for marrying this loser little titty baby. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Next, happy birthday to Tracy, who is one download from God away from her PhD. | ||
| Keep eating your chicken fried steak and you'll be Dr. Tracy in no time. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And the transgender global human rights student who listens to Knowledge Fight while giving black Muslim immigrants government money. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're now a policy wonk. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you very much. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| And we got a technocrack in the mix. | ||
| Technocrack! | ||
| So thank you so much, too. | ||
| I'm Redneck Matt, and my wife thought Alex was calling Jar Jar Binks a loser little titty baby. | ||
| Sorry for exposing you to Alex, honey, but I love you. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| You're an out of technocrat. | ||
| I'm a policy wonk. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Call home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant. | |
| Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop. | ||
| Daddy Shark. | ||
| Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's a loser little titty baby. | |
| I don't want to hate black people. | ||
| I renounce Jesus Christ. | ||
| Really does sound like he's calling Jar Jar Binks a loser little titty baby, doesn't it? | ||
| I mean, I wouldn't... | ||
| If he were to, I would not get in the way. | ||
| Do you remember who he was calling a loser Little Titty Baby? | ||
| Was it Schumer? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Was it Brian Cranston? | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Keep going if you like. | ||
| No, I don't think I want to. | ||
| Colin Kaepernick. | ||
| Colin Kaepernick? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Really? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Man, that feels like a million years ago. | ||
| It sure was. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So, today, we're jumping off here, and it turns out Trump is seasoned control of the CIA, and Alex is thrilled about it. | ||
| Trump and Musk and us, all of us, we are over the target. | ||
| Now, the developments are so incredible that I'm going to do my very best to go over it all here and break the latest information as it comes out. | ||
| But what has been revealed, and then what Trump's doing, Trump offered to have all the employees of the CIA quit and buy them out, and then under the law, if they don't accept that, he says all of them, knowing it's the bad ones that'll quit, then under the law, they have no recourse when he fires them. | ||
| That's why he's doing that. | ||
| all of the CIA. | ||
| That's how you abolish an agency. | ||
| And then, of course, Trump won't completely get rid of it. | ||
| This is not a person celebrating a president attempting to make reforms in the CIA. | ||
| This is celebrating a hostile takeover of the country's intelligence community, replacing the CIA with ideologues and loyalists. | ||
| Trump's new administration had the CIA send them an unclassified email that listed the past two years' hires by their first name and last initial, which was a crazy thing to do. | ||
| Jim Himes, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said, I wish this was more interesting or complicated than it is, but it's pretty simple. | ||
| Trump is taking over the government and purging dissent with the offer of a buyout being the carrot that's going to be followed by the stick if need be. | ||
| Also, Trump did this in early February and he's still alive. | ||
| If the premise is supposed to be that JFK was killed because he was going to get rid of the CIA, this kind of hurts the conspiracy. | ||
| Like, he shouldn't be able to do this. | ||
| No. | ||
| Based on everything that Alex's worldview is built on. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, it does feel like, first off... | ||
| If you have a big bad guy with a super powerful secret intelligence agency, the idea that it would just go... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, the boss says we have to be dumb now. | |
| Sounds crazy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, you know it's real, because apparently our agencies just go, I guess we're stupid. | ||
| The end. | ||
| I guess we're being forced to be dumb. | ||
| This is really unwise. | ||
| We're the people who have our tendrils inside the governments of every major nation on this planet. | ||
| Oh, sorry, we're dumb now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My bad. | |
| The reality of the existence of the present undermines the premise of the past. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In Alex's world. | ||
| And I think that that's something that I can't imagine how he deals with. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I might even go so far as to say the existence of the present should kind of remake us think about how we all thought about the past. | ||
| I think, sure. | ||
| No, I definitely think so. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| That is a universal thing. | ||
| But it's particularly pointed in the world of conspiracy theories. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And the overpowered all-powerfulness of, let's say, the CIA. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, I mean, in a way, you could say that this was the culmination of conspiracy theorists wanting one of them to be true. | ||
| So they made a conspiracy happen, and then it took over. | ||
| And now they're realizing that they were never really that smart in the first place. | ||
| No, and other ones were true. | ||
| They just weren't that interesting to this brand of person. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like Alex. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Anyway, Doge. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Great. | ||
| I said it. | ||
| The present is great. | ||
| So, I've been working on a theory. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that is the second that someone says... | ||
| Doge. | ||
| There should be an emergency button. | ||
| Like, the idea that you would name this bullshit, fake government oversight thing after a meme coin. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Like, it's just crisis. | ||
| Crisis. | ||
| Crisis. | ||
| No, no, I mean, yeah, but one of the big problems that we have is whenever things are illegal, there is no immediate things happen button. | ||
| If, like, Soros was... | ||
| Doing a government oversight thing, and it was named after a meme coin that he had, but was doing a lot of stuff that I supported. | ||
| Still an emergency. | ||
| That's how it works. | ||
| So anyway, they're in the FBI now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cool. | |
| Cool, cool, cool. | ||
| Then Doge is inside the FBI. | ||
| They've been there for two days. | ||
| I told you big stuff's about to break. | ||
| The FBI has been illegally paying all sorts of groups to infiltrate. | ||
| To set people up, they paid the provocateurs. | ||
| They had thousands of them there on January 6th. | ||
| The FBI director perjured himself to Congress. | ||
| He's already been caught in lies. | ||
| It's a lot bigger than what's already come out. | ||
| I mean, for God's sakes, there's video of hundreds of them in Antifa gear putting Trump gear on. | ||
| I mean, it's ridiculous. | ||
| And feds that broke through the windows, fake arrests and taking their handcuffs off and high-fying them. | ||
| We have them. | ||
| So you're hearing the media, oh, it's about the J6 committee and the illegal stuff it did, destroying evidence, witness tampering, paying people, falsifying evidence. | ||
| Now that's a small part of it. | ||
| It's the people that ran the J6 in Congress with Pelosi, quarterbacked the attack with a special FBI unit. | ||
| We already know the name. | ||
| We know who did it. | ||
| So all this stuff about January 6th is bullshit, but if Alex has all these names and all that stuff, then he should probably report them. | ||
| I know he whines about Ray Epps and all that shit, but based on the level of the case that he's saying he can make, he needs to provide more details. | ||
| I think that Alex is telling a stupid story here. | ||
| If Nancy Pelosi and the secret FBI unit here, they plan January 6th, which in Alex's mind is a false flag attempted overthrow of the country, am I supposed to believe that they left behind clues that Elon Musk's crack team of young racists are just going to walk in and find? | ||
| If they're willing to go through so much effort to break the law in secret to get their way... | ||
| Don't you think they would have killed Trump or Musk by now? | ||
| They wouldn't just leave like, uh-oh, they're gonna find the murder weapon. | ||
| Please. | ||
| These globalists and Alex's head have the power to pull off any fantastic villain plot he can imagine, but are somehow limited by stupid shit like paperwork. | ||
| If there's some evidence in the FBI that proves that Nancy Pelosi and a secret team planned January 6th, they aren't gonna leave it to some possible court injunction to say that Musk's guys can't look at that stuff. | ||
| If they're evil enough and good enough at planning to handle the first part, they wouldn't handle the second part the way they have. | ||
| It's character inconsistency. | ||
| This is gonna become a major problem for Alex as the second Trump administration goes along. | ||
| The opposition that he's built up as being all run by demons and super competent conspirators has shown itself to be pretty incompetent against Trump's blitz of seasoned power, which makes no sense. | ||
| They're supposed to have superpowers. | ||
| They can see the future in shit. | ||
| They've been doing this since... | ||
| Jesus was alive. | ||
| As time goes on, we'll likely see the institutional power that exists as an opposition party to Trump lose a lot of the traction that it has. | ||
| The Democrats, not all but many, seem to be unable to navigate this moment politically, which limits the checks on power that Congress can have, and the Supreme Court is dubious at best. | ||
| I imagine that we're going to see a lot more grassroots type of entities that are going to exist as forces actually pushing back against Trump. | ||
| So the move you're going to see is Alex connecting these things to his existing villains. | ||
| He needs to do that for narrative purposes, like how he used those fake contracts that someone found online to claim that Soros was behind the Black Lives Matter protests. | ||
| And that's what's going to happen. | ||
| You're going to see organic things connected to Hillary Clinton. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Because otherwise Alex can't tell those stories. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| One thing that I would, I think, about these particular people is I feel a lot more comfortable when they and law enforcement are in a far more confrontational. | ||
| I do not like them feeling like law enforcement has their back. | ||
| That's no good. | ||
| That is no good at all. | ||
| You mean folks like Alex? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| No, thank you. | ||
| Well, I think that there is a part of his brain that always kind of thought, like, true law enforcement has my back. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Because true law enforcement is fascism. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And he had some of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But in reality, he wouldn't have any expectation that the police are going to... | ||
| Right. | ||
| And now, I think you'd have much more of an expectation that, like, nah, the system is on your side. | ||
| Oh, yeah, absolutely. | ||
| I mean, yeah, now's not the time to be like, hey, the FPR sucks. | ||
| Don't do it now. | ||
| Now's not the time. | ||
| Well, it's not not the time, though, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fair enough. | |
| Anyway, the globalists are done. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| They're fucking done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Except maybe they're not. | ||
| They might do a suitcase. | ||
|
unidentified
|
God damn it. | |
| Maybe, but they're done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Been swept away. | ||
| And their death throes are spectacular and also dangerous, and we're now at the maximum point of danger where the COG globalist system is being taken over by Trump. | ||
| I'd use the analogy of in 2001 Space Odyssey when the astronaut gets back in to turn off the AI that just killed the other astronauts, and he gets in the airlock and he's turning off the brain functions, and the robot's saying, I'm afraid, Dave. | ||
| I'm afraid. | ||
| And then, as his higher functions turn off and he goes, I'm losing my mind, Dave. | ||
| Please don't, Dave. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Please stop, Dave. | |
| And then finally, I am a HAL 9000 computer. | ||
| I was manufactured in Chicago, Illinois for the... | ||
| I mean, it's happening. | ||
| And the globalists can set off suitcase nukes and blame Russia, Iran. | ||
| They can kill Trump, blame Iran. | ||
| That's the one big screw-up I see is Trump saying, if I get killed, I put orders behind to totally obliterate Iran. | ||
| Oh, great, and the deep state kills you and then blames Iran, and then the public could possibly be convinced that's true. | ||
| And then they have their cake and eat it too. | ||
| Not good. | ||
| Not good. | ||
| Before we go any further, I just want to make sure, because I hope this is true. | ||
| Now I'm not sure, right? | ||
| The president can't leave like, you have to do this if I die orders. | ||
| Nothing's stopping anyone from doing that in a free country. | ||
| Right, but they can't do that, right? | ||
| Like, they can't do that. | ||
| They can't be like, well, the president said it before he got murdered, so now we have to do it. | ||
| That's not okay. | ||
| You're talking about something different. | ||
| You're talking about whether or not it's binding. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| Anyone can make these orders. | ||
| Sure, sure, fair enough. | ||
| Once a person's dead, you don't have to do it. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what I'm saying. | |
| There are no binding. | ||
| We have no, like, oh, he's the president forever, even if he's dead, rules. | ||
| No, I don't think that you could, like, unearth some secret Abraham Lincoln missive. | ||
| You don't know that now, though! | ||
| You don't know anymore! | ||
| I don't think you could do that. | ||
| But that would be great. | ||
| There'd just be a whole new industry of, like, forged... | ||
| We're all Joseph Smith now. | ||
| We're all finding golden tablets left and right. | ||
| Just a bunch of forged executive orders from dead people. | ||
| Holy shit, I've got your Monroe Doctrine here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Boom! | |
| Found it! | ||
| The new Monroe Doctrine. | ||
| Yeah, I think it opens up a very unsettling world of possibilities. | ||
| But that was a good impression of Hal. | ||
| That wasn't terrible, I guess. | ||
| So I think that oftentimes people try to use movie metaphors and shit to make concepts more understandable to lay people, putting in quotes, because it's a little condescending. | ||
| But in Alex's world, he just does movie stuff. | ||
| He's not even trying to make a hard-to-understand concept more relatable. | ||
| It's just, oh, I thought of that movie. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| It's fucked up. | ||
| He's stupid. | ||
| Yeah, I think a lot of people want the idea to be like what you described. | ||
| It's like, oh, well, I read all this Play-Doh, right? | ||
| But, you know, we're several thousand years later, so we've got a lot of culture built up, so I can kind of lead you through those ideas through Star Wars or whatever. | ||
| Alex is like, I saw a bird outside. | ||
| That's like that movie. | ||
| There's a bird outside. | ||
| Birdman. | ||
| Yep, there we go. | ||
| Also, Play-Doh left behind. | ||
| Some things to do after he died. | ||
| Oh, shit! | ||
| God damn it! | ||
| What is it binding these days? | ||
| So, Trump is trying to fire all these CIA people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| And then he's gonna get rid of the Department of Education. | ||
| All right. | ||
| For people that don't understand statutorily, when Trump goes to all these federal agencies and says, all of you can quit. | ||
| Anybody. | ||
| And I'll give you a one-year buyout of your salary. | ||
| In the executive branch, under the law, there's a lot of people you can just get rid of outright, but other people, there's a procedure where they can have some legal standing and tie things up in court. | ||
| So Trump has initiated the different laws and provisions that if he gives them a buyout plan and then they don't take it, they can be fired. | ||
| So it's hilarious to watch all this happening. | ||
| And then, of course, they said, why are you putting McMahon in at... | ||
| Department of Education, he said to shut it down. | ||
| But first, we've got to find out where all the money's been stolen and the criminals are. | ||
| But we'll be shutting it down and giving it back to the states. | ||
| And they just go, oh. | ||
| They're like, you're not going to shut it down, are you? | ||
| He's supposed to go, oh, no media. | ||
| No corporate media. | ||
| Yeah, I'm going to shut it down. | ||
| And they just go down the list of the agencies that are who are globalist Parasites at war with us on record. | ||
| It kind of has to feel like an insult if you're Linda McMahon. | ||
| The only reason that you would be justified as a nominee for the Secretary of Education is if it plans to destroy the agency. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Kind of feels like maybe she's actually just a super rich person who Trump knows well and is easily controllable based on the dirt he undoubtedly has on her and her husband. | ||
| What dirt could they possibly have on them? | ||
| I mean... | ||
| Those people are clean as a whistle, my friend. | ||
| Yeah, when you think of pillars of the community, you think of Vince fucking McMahon. | ||
| Absolutely! | ||
| Um, come on now. | ||
| I would like that. | ||
| I think that would be a compliment to me, personally, if somebody was like, oh, the only reason Jordan was hired to helm this organization was clearly to destroy it. | ||
| Because that would be like, yes, that's who I am. | ||
| That's what I'm here for, right? | ||
| You've correctly understood me. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I don't know if that's a compliment for Stephanie McMahon, because I think she thinks she's going to really revolutionize it and make it better. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, here's the good news. | |
| Stephanie McMahon is her daughter who got kidnapped by Triple H and married in Las Vegas. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Linda McMahon is her daughter. | ||
| And then was kidnapped by... | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| Why did I even say Stephanie McMahon? | ||
| What? | ||
| It's just because. | ||
| Because she's... | ||
| It's her actual daughter who was kidnapped... | ||
| By Triple H and then married. | ||
| We're not really going to allow this to happen, right? | ||
| Apparently we are. | ||
| What if it is all a work? | ||
| Have you considered that? | ||
| The government is now WWE? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Well, I think the good news is that Trump is a heel, and they generally lose at the end. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| We've got positivity going. | ||
| I like this. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| But I worry that in the world of modern time and the McMahon family, maybe Trump isn't a heel. | ||
| Okay, let me throw this out there. | ||
| Undertaker. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Well, he's Mark now. | ||
| Mark Calloway. | ||
| Supreme Court building. | ||
| Top of it. | ||
| Chokeslam. | ||
| Trump to the bottom. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| That's dramatic. | ||
| You know, there's a thing called Wrestler's Court. | ||
| Where people would, if they violated the sort of rules of... | ||
| Kayfabe? | ||
| The like? | ||
| Yeah, they could be. | ||
| Or if they just were kind of dicks to the other wrestlers and stuff, they would have to go to wrestler's court. | ||
| All right. | ||
| And Undertaker presided over that. | ||
| So he could be in the Supreme Court. | ||
| Hell yes. | ||
| He has experience. | ||
| Hell yes. | ||
| We have already made a much better country in such a short period of time. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Pack the Supreme Court with legends. | ||
| I finally found out what Austin 316 means, so I'm excited. | ||
| That's true, yeah. | ||
| You don't know. | ||
| So Musk, Elon Musk, is fucking great, and we know that because Alex says it every day. | ||
| And so he can hire anybody he wants, and so he sends in Elon Musk that knows how to go into a company. | ||
| Look what he did at X. Look what he did at X everywhere. | ||
| Look what he did with Tesla. | ||
| That wasn't doing well until he came in and got it. | ||
| Then he slept and lived at the factory for a year until he got it done. | ||
| So, no. | ||
| I mean, Musk is everything you've heard and more. | ||
| So, of course, he's the guy to send in. | ||
| Totally legal, totally lawful. | ||
| So they get Hakeem Jeffries and Pocahontas. | ||
| I've got all the clips here. | ||
| Saying he's in your Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid. | ||
| He's stealing it all right now. | ||
| He's giving it to the communist Chinese. | ||
| He's in your personal data. | ||
| Oh, and all these globalist commies weren't? | ||
| He's not in the little data. | ||
| He's in the big chunks where hundreds of millions here, billions there. | ||
| They just released last night $100 billion that was given in COVID relief to, quote, Europe, to all these, quote, scammers that were just set up. | ||
| Yeah, scammers. | ||
| Globalist CIA. | ||
| Soros groups that's coming out now. | ||
| And then, oh God, it was set up and they just got $100 billion. | ||
| All of it got stolen every dime. | ||
| Precision incompetence. | ||
| Quote Europe. | ||
| So it's interesting that Doge discovered there's $100 billion in fraud around COVID relief spending because an AP investigation from 2023 found, quote, that fraudsters potentially stole more than $280 billion in COVID-19 relief funding. | ||
| Another $123 billion was wasted or misspent. | ||
| This investigation was made possible by the Biden administration's Department of Justice having a pandemic response accountability committee, which was overseen by Michael Horowitz, who was an inspector general. | ||
| Surprisingly, he wasn't one of the ones that Trump immediately fired after getting into office, but he probably won't last all that long. | ||
| This huge amount of fraud was facilitated by pandemic relief programs that began during Trump's first term and were run with almost no oversight because the severe need to aid small businesses and And it's very unfortunate. | ||
| According to the Associated Press, the government has charged 2,230 people for this kind of fraud as of 2023 when this report came out. | ||
| Doge is itself a fraud. | ||
| Since beginning this campaign to pretend to cut government spending, they've posted a ton of dishonest numbers meant to make Musk look more competent than he is. | ||
| For instance, there have been grants that they've claimed to have cancelled within USAID that have already been paid out. | ||
| So in essence, they're claiming the value of those contracts as savings, where in the real world, they haven't saved anything. | ||
| In other cases, they've made really simple and intentional errors. | ||
| There was a case where Musk claimed that he'd cut three USAID agreements that combined up to $2 billion. | ||
| He got that number because they pretended that each program was worth $655 million, but in the real world, they were all contained within the same $655 million contract, so he was triple counting it. | ||
| They're making mistakes like this because Doge and Elon are working from the same playbook as Alex. | ||
| They're abusing the cement while it's wet, knowing that this is the only time when you can make an imprint on it. | ||
| You rush out with all these flashy headlines about billions of dollars, perfect for everyone on social media to repeat and get all worked up about because you know that if you waited until people had access to relevant information, your narratives would have zero impact on that dry concrete. | ||
| Alex understands this dynamic and he's built an empire of bullshit on it. | ||
| But now we have a government behaving in the same way, which kind of helps you understand why, like, there is a gravitational pull between Musk, Alex, Trump. | ||
| Like, there's an underlying, very much bigoted worldview that they all share. | ||
| But there is also, like, an operational, like, this is the way this works kind of similarity. | ||
| Yeah, and now that they've got a situation where they can... | ||
| I don't think anybody would be or should be worried about a propaganda agency anymore because they'll just say something and then people will defend them for free. | ||
| And then the fight will happen and it'll just be the fight. | ||
| It's the same fight that's been going on for 30 years or whatever. | ||
| And if you have any concerns about anything, Elon owns Twitter. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Who gives a shit? | ||
| If you're at all worried about... | ||
| Don't be. | ||
| Say something, and then it'll be true until it's not, and then it won't matter. | ||
| Yeah, and I think that you also should be, like, I can't imagine why anyone would be concerned about, like, saying something that would get them in trouble. | ||
| You know, like, Elon, probably for a lot of these tweets, in a normal world, as we've understood it, as we were younger, you'd get arrested for that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, it's not so much a free speech issue. | ||
| It is an incitement and... | ||
| It's a whole mess. | ||
| It's a violation of privacy. | ||
| It's a violation of all sorts of things. | ||
| And that's just not an issue anymore. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| So that sucks. | ||
| Eh. | ||
| But it turns out that Doge is sort of a front organization. | ||
| That... | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| Hold on, before we go any further, the idea that this efficiency agency would be a front agency renders all words meaningless. | ||
| But do you think Alex is in favor of it as a front organization? | ||
| Obviously, I'm going to go with the latter. | ||
| Yeah, of course, because he loves it. | ||
| Now Doge, for two days, is at the FBI headquarters. | ||
| And people go, oh, Doge, that's Elon Musk computer programmers. | ||
| No. | ||
| That's what the media focuses on, and they're great. | ||
| They know, find the back doors, where the back doors are. | ||
| They built the NSA modern system. | ||
| We've had the former director of it on, William, many, many times. | ||
| Starting in the 90s when they, quote, upgraded it with back doors for all of the CIA fronts and contractors, Booz Allen, all of them. | ||
| And that's all getting shut off. | ||
| So it's the opposite of what they say. | ||
| But who's really at the FBI is all of Kosh Patel's intelligence people. | ||
| And that's from the Department of Doge, where Trump can immediately send his teams into audit and then instantly start flooding the corruption out, flooding the crimes. | ||
| And you try to even chronicle it, it's literally thousands of stories just in the last 24 hours. | ||
| Here's another one. | ||
| And I already knew this. | ||
| I've explained this for years. | ||
| It's come out many times, but not the full gravity. | ||
| You hear about it in Europe, where the government pays the private media, but it's really state-run. | ||
| You hear about the U.K. and Canada, because they don't even hide it. | ||
| Well, just the U.S. aid fountain, and that's small, but it was the most arrogant, and the State Department had full control of it statutorily, so it was the easiest to go into and the most arrogant. | ||
| What does that even mean? | ||
| The damn law says the State Department runs it. | ||
| It reports to them. | ||
| So... | ||
| You've got it coming out. | ||
| It's already devastating. | ||
| The New York Times, Politico, all of them, we're getting hundreds of millions of dollars a year. | ||
| To attack patriots. | ||
| Smoking gun. | ||
| Like I told you once ago, it's not just 300 million that Biden put in a year ago to Reuters, that's MI6, to then run hundreds of other publication attacks on Elon, his family, his businesses, PIs, harassment. | ||
| I said, it's going to be a lot more. | ||
| And now they found billions. | ||
| Over $2 billion in what they just released yesterday of federal money given to the corporate media. | ||
| So if I understand Alex correctly, Doge is a fake organization that Trump created that's full of hackers who report only to Elon Musk, which serves as a front group for Trump to send in loyalists in the organizations like the FBI to internally investigate government bodies that they don't like. | ||
| If Doge is a way for Trump to send in Kash Patel's people to subvert the law, it really seems like a flagrant conflict of interest for Doge to be looking into the FBI. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| This is all insane, and it's just really funny to imagine 2001 Alex Jones trying to justify supporting this shit. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But as that clip went along, we saw Alex seeming to get into a specific. | ||
| He's covering Elon's revelations of all this supposed illegal spending by just waving at a giant pile and saying, he's doing so much, it's impossible to cover it all. | ||
| He seems to be continuing to do that here, but then he kind of gets into specifics. | ||
| He says that USAID paid corporate media billions of dollars to run attacks on patriots. | ||
| So Alex already misreported the story about the BBC getting money from USAID, which was actually money that went to the BBC media action charity, and he never made a correction about that, so he's not really starting off from a place of credibility. | ||
| The next media outlet that people were posting a lot about was Politico, which was not propped up by government funding. | ||
| USAID had paid Politico $44,000 in 2023 and 2024 for subscriptions to Politico Pro, which is a policy tracking site. | ||
| The government paying for those subscriptions is like how your job might cover your access to Microsoft Office. | ||
| Like, this is just grasping at straws. | ||
| Then Elon Musk made a lot of noise, claiming that the New York Times was essentially state-funded by posting a screenshot that appeared to show tens of millions of dollars being given to the Times. | ||
| This was a fraudulently presented screenshot posted by notorious idiot and social media troll Ian Miles Chong that included all spending listed on the website USA Spending when you searched for the words New York Times. | ||
| Newsweek reviewed this and found that it included a bunch of unrelated spending to things like the New York Genome Center. | ||
| off the bat, this story is a fraud. | ||
| As it turns out, in the past 17 years, the New York Times has received approximately $3.1 million in government spending, almost entire on subscriptions for employees. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, obviously. | ||
| The thing to understand here is that Elon Musk is the person who's supposed to be working around the clock to save all this government money, and he's amplifying bullshit tweets from known idiots that lie about what the government is spending. | ||
| He doesn't care at all about the core issue he's pretending to engage with. | ||
| This is just a matter of finding things that shitheads online can misrepresent in order to provide cover for the real agenda that's going on, that's being perpetrated. | ||
| carried out behind the scenes. | ||
| That's the whole thing. | ||
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Django keys over here. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kill everybody over there. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's very uncomplicated. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Alex is as he has wished to be a Yep. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He is superfluous. | |
| He doesn't matter. | ||
| All he's doing is sitting around and reading the tweets. | ||
| Fuck off. | ||
| I mean, yeah. | ||
| I wish to be obsolete. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
| To a certain extent, I will say this. | ||
| If I'm him, right, I would really be mad at the Democrats right now for not having a better resistance. | ||
| Because what else am I supposed to do? | ||
| Just read tweets. | ||
| What are they doing? | ||
| Fucking nothing. | ||
| This is wasteful. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I don't even think that you can credibly... | ||
| Come up with too much of a storyline that involves peril to Trump. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| Oh, they're going to vote? | ||
| Really? | ||
| Are they going to vote? | ||
| Because I bet it won't matter. | ||
| If you're in Alex's position, there's no credible bad guy kind of thing to do anymore, except for, I guess, a suitcase nuke might happen or something. | ||
| Can you even imagine trying to paint Chuck Schumer as a bad guy now? | ||
| Or like... | ||
| I mean, as incompetent or, like, as someone who's not doing a good enough job, yes. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But, like, the way that Alex... | ||
| I mean, it was only, like, six months ago that he was screaming about Chuck Schumer not knowing how to cook meat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And stuff, and that feels real silly now. | ||
| These masterminds no longer feel very mindy or mastery. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| So, Alex, he's touched on this USAID spending, and it's all about how the media is all controlled. | ||
| The government's paying off all of the corporate media and all this. | ||
| And so he talks about his experience with that, and he is full of shit. | ||
| They'll put out corporate news, and you'll notice at the timestamp when they have an attack on me. | ||
| Sometimes thousands of articles a day. | ||
| 2017, 18, 19. And it would all have the same exact to the second time code, and the articles were all very similar, because they all had agreements with each other, too, that, well, we're all getting the same money, but we do want the ratings, so we all agree to publish at the same second. | ||
| These are totally illegal coordinated attacks. | ||
| It's illegal for the federal government to censor somebody, but it's really illegal to have them pay people to do that. | ||
| Musk just posted, not for long, which is obviously a huge waste of taxpayer money. | ||
| That's an understatement. | ||
| It's not just Politico. | ||
| The Associated Press has been raking in millions of dollars in government money for years. | ||
| The AP's bias also makes perfect sense. | ||
| The bias? | ||
| It's not a bias. | ||
| It's a weapons system operation mockingbird of the CIA 2.0. | ||
| But you guys have that now. | ||
| You know, when you get 2,000 articles published the same second that you go to kids' graves and piss on it, when you never did it and no one ever did it, but they don't care, that people are like, come on, Alex, there's not 2,000 articles a day that you peed on graves. | ||
| This feels very specific. | ||
| That's not fake. | ||
| Come on, Alex, there's 500 articles a day that you beat up your employees and there was a fish tank with a fish in it that belonged to one of the employees' nieces and you grabbed it and ate it. | ||
| Never had a fish. | ||
| Never killed the fish. | ||
| Got a fish tank at home, a saltwater tank. | ||
| I love my fish. | ||
| Got some fish that's been alive 11 years. | ||
| My little cutie doesn't have a name for it. | ||
| But the point is, is that my fish's name is top secret. | ||
| The point is, is that that's from the Wolf of Wall Street. | ||
| And Finding Nemo, they're so lazy. | ||
| So lazy. | ||
| So lazy. | ||
| It's interesting how this is like a compounding lie. | ||
| On the first level, Alex is lying about what people have accused him of. | ||
| No one claimed that he ate an employee's fish. | ||
| His former employee said that he threw away a goldfish that another employee had brought to the office in a bag. | ||
| Alex has attached the Wolf of Wall Street thing on to create a straw man to pretend that his enemies have accused him of something in a movie. | ||
| Similarly, no one accused him of peeing on any child's grave. | ||
| We've been over this a ton of times, but Alex has created this accusation up so he can defend himself from a fake charge and ignore the reality of what he did and how his actions have affected people in deeply traumatic ways. | ||
| These accusations aren't real, and they weren't published in the corporate media, let alone in thousands of articles that were set to release simultaneously to the second. | ||
| This is a further layer of the lie that Alex is trying to perpetuate. | ||
| I think it's believable that some random people on Twitter accused Alex of eating a fish or peeing on someone's grave, but that would be the result of them not reading the actual stories about these subjects. | ||
| It feels like it's often the case that Alex doesn't touch any real stories, choosing instead to complain about social media while pretending that he's upset about something real. | ||
| So you might see somebody say something in a tweet and be like, oh the corporate media is accusing me of this. | ||
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| It's not real. | ||
| It's like that joke, you know, like, but you fuck one goat and they call you a goat fucker forever, right? | ||
| But it's like, he's the only one saying it. | ||
| It's like, you're the only one calling, what are you doing? | ||
| Nobody's calling you a goat fucker, man. | ||
| We're calling you a guy who hit that kid because you're a monster. | ||
| Like, what are we doing here? | ||
| Well, the reason, I think in this case, it's fairly clear. | ||
| And that is because... | ||
| The reality is that these parents received harassment that included someone saying they peed on their kid's grave. | ||
| And Alex knows, deep down in his heart, he knows that he facilitated that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And he knows that he profited off of what led to that. | ||
| We did a whole thing. | ||
| He absolutely knows that he made a choice. | ||
| To promote Wolfgang Halbig, who was actively harassing these parents, and is part of the inspiration for why people would have sent them a message in a letter that says that I peed on your kid's grave. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Alex knows that, and he can't allow that part of his actual guilt to have any air to breathe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So you create the fake accusation to defend yourself against. | ||
| Which is fun, and I hope he's happy. | ||
| Okay, let me throw this out at you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What if Alex was in the movie The Cell starring Jennifer Lopez? | ||
| I don't think I've seen The Cell. | ||
| Oh, you haven't? | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| Gotta see it. | ||
| It's really good. | ||
| Is it about A, a prison cell, or B, a cell of a body? | ||
| Like a skin cell? | ||
| What happens is Jennifer Lopez goes inside your mind as a therapist kind of thing. | ||
| And then it's a serial killer's mind. | ||
| And it's Vincent D 'Onofrio. | ||
| So it's all super cool. | ||
| And it was made by the guy who made The Fall or something. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't remember it. | ||
| But it's a great movie. | ||
| And the point is, inside of Alex's subconscious would be a series of escalating monster tropes. | ||
| That would keep you from learning about the truth of what he knows about himself psychologically. | ||
| That's apt. | ||
| That would be a better way of going about it. | ||
| If you had seen this out, we could have had a nice conversation about it. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| It would have been great. | ||
| This is now a mess. | ||
| I think you explained it all right, though. | ||
| I get the point that you were making. | ||
| But I should probably see that. | ||
| So, Alex, he's continuing on about this like Politico had millions of government funding, and look what happens now. | ||
| Politico faces payroll issues amid revelations of U.S. government funding. | ||
| Oh, Politico can't make their payroll because Trump froze just U.S. aid. | ||
| And let me give you a newsflash, my friends. | ||
| That's a small piece of this. | ||
| So Politico had a payroll issue on February 4th, which they say was caused by a technical glitch that led to a delay. | ||
| By the morning of the 5th, when Alex is doing this show we're listening to, employees had already been paid. | ||
| But because Elon and Trump have been targeting the media, and Politico is one of the entities that they've made erroneous claims about, the dipshits on Twitter began connecting imaginary dots. | ||
| This payroll issue must be because Elon stopped their money, and now there's no money! | ||
| This is right-wing and online idiots engaging in a large-scale creative writing exercise where they're coming up with the reality that they want to impose on everyone else. | ||
| Effects happen, and then the cause is decided based on whatever the loudest voices on Twitter want it to be, and that becomes reality. | ||
| But, in the real world, USAID paid about $44,000 for subscriptions to Politico in the past two years, and it's estimated that Politico Pro subscriptions accounted for about $100 million in annual revenue, so I don't think that ending these USAID accounts would make that much of a dent in their ability to pay their payroll. | ||
| It would leave the government workers without access to an important information tool and make their jobs harder, but... | ||
| The people who are now coming into the government aren't interested in doing those jobs anyway, so it doesn't really matter. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, sometimes you do just see in real time, like, a caveman 20,000 years ago, like, doing a thing, then lightning striking and being like, that was God. | ||
| There we go. | ||
| I connect to those two things. | ||
| I better not do that thing anymore. | ||
| Very obvious that it was God who did it because I did the thing. | ||
| Done. | ||
| We're moving on. | ||
| Everybody, don't do that thing because it's God. | ||
| And then, yeah, it's like... | ||
| You are a caveman. | ||
| What are we doing here? | ||
| But this is even, like, kind of more dorky. | ||
| Oh, it's way more dorky. | ||
| It would be a lot cooler if there was lightning. | ||
| Yeah, and it's like the effect is Politico had a payroll glitch that got resolved quickly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then the cause is your god doing something on Twitter. | ||
| Yeah! | ||
| Talking some shit. | ||
| It's not even, like, instructive for how you should behave. | ||
| It's just background noise. | ||
| In the fantasy, these people are like, oh, we're like Norse... | ||
| Viking people, we worship like Thor and Odin and shit, and then in real life, it's Elon Musk. | ||
| Jesus, that's sad. | ||
| The value of lightning striking and you telling yourself, God did that, I can't do the thing I was doing when lightning struck, is to protect yourself from being struck by lightning in the future. | ||
| It is a coping mechanism or something in order to gain control over your own actions and outcomes. | ||
| If you are looking at this through the same prism, Politico had a payroll issue. | ||
| And that's the lightning strike. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I am not worried about being in that position. | ||
| Oh, yeah? | ||
| But you have to appease the god, which is Elon Musk. | ||
| It's sad. | ||
| It's very sad. | ||
| Everybody should do something else with their time. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So Elon has taken over the government, and that's totally cool, because Alex loves that. | ||
| Doge is inside the FBI. | ||
| And... | ||
| How they do it is Elon talks to all the experts, talks to all Trump people, talks to the intelligence people. | ||
| He says, all right, well, we're waiting for you to get confirmed. | ||
| Give me your top people. | ||
| And then they literally march in like an army. | ||
| And then Musk puts one of his managers in there that just stands above and is constantly reporting back. | ||
| And Musk has got like two, you know, two phone earpieces in his ear. | ||
| You know, just running around in battle joy, because this is a real war, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| I went home at 7 o 'clock last night, and I was mad at myself, but I was cross-eyed tired, and I just said, I gotta rest. | ||
| Trump is a beast. | ||
| Elon Musk is a beast. | ||
| This is a fantasy version of what Elon's doing, but it's unbelievable to think that Alex could say this with a straight face. | ||
| I get that he's in favor of what Elon and Trump are doing, but based on the entire premise of his career, there's no way Alex shouldn't think that this is anti-democratic tyranny. | ||
| Like, what he's describing is so on-its-face fucking illegal and just taking over. | ||
| Like, it's a coup. | ||
| What he's describing is... | ||
| Before people are confirmed to be the heads of organizations, give me your top guys and we'll send an army in to force these agencies in line. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Imagining that Alex could support that is... | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| If you replaced Musk and Trump with Soros and Obama, it becomes a little easier to understand what a sellout Alex is. | ||
| Except he's not really. | ||
| This is in line with everything he's always wanted. | ||
| The problem and the confusion comes from the fact that he spent all of those years pretending to support liberty and democracy. | ||
| The John Birch Society could hardly have dreamed of a better turn of events. | ||
| A billionaire who's deeply indebted to the government to enable the accumulation of his wealth is taking over the government and running propaganda campaigns against government spending that he doesn't like on the social media platform he owns. | ||
| The opposition party can't do anything to stop it, apparently, and the ruling party is just entirely capitulated to the billionaire who's reshaping the government in front of our eyes. | ||
| Corporate interests will reap huge benefits in terms of tax breaks and relaxed or eliminated regulations and worker protections, and everyone else is going to get fucked. | ||
| This is going to cause huge problems, but Elon owns Twitter, and I think he's kind of banking on being able to use that to divert blame onto other people for the consequences of his actions. | ||
| And, like, I just can't, I can't imagine someone who pretended to be Alex being this. | ||
| Except that none of that pretend was real. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah, it is an interesting thing because it feels like... | ||
| It was very obvious to me anyways, but I guess that's not how it was taught to these people in school. | ||
| But the Great Depression didn't happen in spite of the government regulating nothing and giving robber barons all of the money. | ||
| It happened because of the government not regulating anything and giving barons all of the money. | ||
| But here's what happens when we completely distort everyone's ideas of cause and effect. | ||
| It doesn't matter anymore. | ||
| That is a good point. | ||
| Well, I'm going to say, now, just going off of recent history, this is probably going to lead to some sort of negative economic outcome. | ||
| I'm just going to throw that out there. | ||
| I think you're not even nearly alone in that assessment. | ||
| So Elon tweeted something. | ||
| Great! | ||
| I think that could probably be the sub-headline of every story that Alex has. | ||
| In other news, Elon tweeted something. | ||
| Here's a thing Elon tweeted about. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And this one's particularly dumb. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh-oh. | |
| Oh, Elon put out a tweet last night, and I read it on Owen's show. | ||
| Get it for me again, where he says, I bought into America hook, line, and sinker. | ||
| I believe every jingoistic piece of it, and we're going to make it real. | ||
| And in that statement, and I butchered it, because I'm teleprompter free, is everything. | ||
| Oh, we've been taught how bad America is. | ||
| Why did everybody want to come here? | ||
| Because it was the best. | ||
| House in a terrible neighborhood. | ||
| And it was the flower of the Renaissance. | ||
| And its ideas, if executed, empower us, and you've seen that. | ||
| And it's a dream, but what we dream, we can do. | ||
| Like Musk in 10 years with SpaceX. | ||
| Musk said yesterday, 12 or 12 p.m. | ||
| I love America. | ||
| I loved every bit of the jingoistic propaganda. | ||
| By the way, propaganda never means negative. | ||
| It just means ideas that propagate your ideas. | ||
| Operate you. | ||
| It just means promoting. | ||
| Doing that, huh? | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I loved every bit of jingoistic propaganda. | ||
| I believed it. | ||
| Hook, line, and sinker. | ||
| Now let's make it all real. | ||
| So I think that there's a misunderstanding that people have with propaganda. | ||
| Almost anything that's meant to convey a point can be described as propaganda after the fact. | ||
| But not everything is propaganda in the casual sense of the word, the way people generally mean it when they say it. | ||
| That definition is more like stuff that's designed to make a point by obscuring some aspect of reality because it's inconvenient to getting the message across. | ||
| It's generally stuff that's deceptive, and you can definitely argue that some deceptive content has been used, and it's made to further positive goals. | ||
| So you can make that distinction and argument about propaganda, but Alex is... | ||
| Kind of making a dumb point. | ||
| Whatever you like. | ||
| The important thing here is the fact that Musk tweeted out that he bought into American jingoistic propaganda, because that is a word that has a meaning. | ||
| It's not about the U.S. being the pearl of the Renaissance or whatever dumb shit Alex can riff out. | ||
| Jingoism is inherently belligerent and militaristic. | ||
| Jingoism is aggressive, and it starts shit. | ||
| The U.S. overthrowing the Hawaiian monarchy to make it a state is jingoism. | ||
| Alex was supposed to be this big peace guy. | ||
| You know, Trump's the peace candidate. | ||
| And he's over here beating off about Elon tweeting that he loves jingoism. | ||
| When Musk says that he bought into the U.S. jingoistic propaganda, he's saying that he's an idiot who bought into colonialist ideologies. | ||
| That's what he wants to make real. | ||
| That's what he's expressing in this tweet, and what Alex is celebrating. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| Nailed it. | ||
| Real sad. | ||
| Real shit. | ||
| That's pathetic. | ||
| But, if we all just buy into it... | ||
| I don't even like school spirit, man. | ||
| I don't even like it whenever a high school is like, go team. | ||
| Fuck these people. | ||
| You don't know them. | ||
| They don't live with you. | ||
| They're not following you later on in life. | ||
| I don't do school spirit, man, let alone jingoism. | ||
| Shit! | ||
| I mean, it's one thing to be like I bought into U.S. patriotic propaganda. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Then maybe you're thinking about hot dogs and Fourth of July fireworks. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Picket fences and what have you. | ||
| The Statue of fucking Liberty and shit. | ||
| U.S. jingoistic propaganda is like, it's a different sort of thing that he's signaling to. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And he's either, he means it that way, or he's too stupid to understand what his messaging is. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In a very dangerous way. | ||
| But if we buy into it. | ||
| I feel like people have watched Starship Troopers wrong. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| That's mainly what I'm feeling right now. | ||
| I know Alex has. | ||
| I know he has for 100. | ||
| It's interesting you bring up Starship Troopers, because that's in space, right? | ||
| It is in space. | ||
| Now, if we all... | ||
| It's not all in space. | ||
| Or, in another way, everything is all in space. | ||
| That's true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| Non-Earth space. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| There is... | ||
| If we all buy in... | ||
| Yes. | ||
| ...to Musk's fantasies about how the world should be run... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| ...guess what happens in 10 years? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I would like to know more. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Let me just give you a little tease. | ||
| Moon vacations. | ||
| Now I'm in! | ||
| If we just cut off the parasites and the saboteurs that use crisis for control, we will have unlimited resources, unlimited energy. | ||
| We'll be interplanetary like that. | ||
| If everybody got on board, an average middle-class family... | ||
| In 10 years, we'll be able to go do a cruise around the moon and go spend a couple days at a moon base. | ||
| They've got all these cancer cures. | ||
| They've already got all of it, folks. | ||
| And I can tell you, take one look at Trump, he's on it. | ||
| They had brain boosters that are viral 30 years ago. | ||
| Oh, viruses are amazing. | ||
| Remember the Bourne? | ||
| Don't. | ||
| The third Bourne movie for Fourth Bourne, I forget what it was, where they give them a virus that goes in and reconturs the brain and it super advances your intelligence and also your physical abilities? | ||
| They have that. | ||
| The problem is it kills a percentage of people that do it. | ||
| That is a problem. | ||
| The point is, ladies and gentlemen, is that fabulous things can happen. | ||
| This fucking idiot thinks that middle class people are going to have moon vacations. | ||
| Like, no one can afford housing, but we're going to have vacations on the moon. | ||
| Are you kidding? | ||
| Come on, with this utopian-ass bullshit. | ||
| He complains about how, like, Obama... | ||
| Talking about hope is some kind of brainwashing with expectations of, oh, I promise you food and you'll fall in line with me. | ||
| He's saying fall in line with Elon Musk and you'll vacation on the moon if you're middle class. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Fucking crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It feels like the pyramids, right? | ||
| Okay? | ||
| But at least, this is what I would think, if I'm an Egyptian, I'm thinking, well, at least the pharaoh... | ||
| Has the decency to say that we're all gonna spend our lives building this thing. | ||
| Just so he can feel good forever. | ||
| Just so he can vacation on the moon. | ||
| We're up front about this, right? | ||
| He didn't have the balls to be like, hey, no, we make this one and then everybody will have a pyramid. | ||
| Fuck you, Pharaoh. | ||
| We'll all have pyramids. | ||
| Fuck you. | ||
| Great. | ||
| You know we won't. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is pathetic on Alex's part. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I'm glad to see that he studied up on science by watching the third or fourth Bourne movie. | ||
| One of them. | ||
| I'm not sure which. | ||
| Seems to me like if they have all this magic shit, like, why didn't Biden use any of it? | ||
| How could Biden have had that debate performance if they've got super Jason Bourne viruses? | ||
| Why is George Soros getting super old? | ||
| I guess it's probably because it kills a bunch of people who take it, so they just aren't as brave as Trump. | ||
| But then, if Trump dies, is Alex going to entertain magic Jason Bourne virus as a potential cause? | ||
| This shit is stupid. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Here's what I've got for you. | ||
| Alright? | ||
| Here's what I'm pitching. | ||
| If I'm Alex. | ||
| Alright? | ||
| Trump's dead. | ||
| Oh no! | ||
| Surprise! | ||
| We have all this technology. | ||
| Downloaded his brain. | ||
| Uploaded it into a different guy. | ||
| That guy's now Donald Trump. | ||
| And we just... | ||
| Everybody just moves on. | ||
| Doesn't matter if it's true or not. | ||
| Anthony Atamanik? | ||
| Yeah, we've set it up so enough people will believe it. | ||
| Just go. | ||
| It doesn't matter if it's real or not. | ||
| Anybody could be anybody. | ||
| I mean, if Alex is gonna... | ||
| Try and pass off moon vacations and Jason Bourne. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Why not? | ||
| Who gives a shit? | ||
| Yeah, nothing matters. | ||
| Nothing has to be connected to reality. | ||
| We do not need to worry about whether or not we can download famous people's brains into an AI. | ||
| We can just say we did, and if there's Alex and his whole cronies with their full throats behind it, it's true! | ||
| It's as good as true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Crazy. | |
| So I think that that also illustrates a really, like when I was talking earlier about how people are, you know, they try to... | ||
| Take concepts and illustrate them through movies to make them more relatable. | ||
| This is what Alex does. | ||
| He takes movies and then pretends they're real. | ||
| He's not making a concept more understandable to you. | ||
| He's pretending movies are real. | ||
| Even if he doesn't know what movie he's talking about. | ||
| It's one of those two. | ||
| Perhaps especially if he doesn't know it. | ||
| It's not the second one. | ||
| Was Matt Damon the one in it? | ||
| Was he in it? | ||
| No, it wasn't the Jason... | ||
| No, John... | ||
| No. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Renner? | |
| Renner. | ||
| Jeremy Renner. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| No, it wasn't that one. | ||
| Could be any of the board movies. | ||
| Oh, well. | ||
| We'll probably never know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Until we get these brain viruses. | ||
| So anyway, we're like Atlantis and shit. | ||
| Sounds true. | ||
| I'm in. | ||
| And it doesn't mean there's not going to be big obstacles in the future, and this power is dangerous. | ||
| We have Promethean fire. | ||
| That's not just a Greek legend. | ||
| This is it. | ||
| We are the new Atlantis. | ||
| Whether Atlantis existed or not, we are Atlantis. | ||
| Look around you. | ||
| Fish people. | ||
| There's been other advanced human civilizations which blew each other up before. | ||
| And this time, we don't really want to do that, do we? | ||
| So... | ||
| That's where we are, and there are people that are scared of the Atlantean moment and saying we will blow ourselves up, so they want to bring in, cull everybody, suppress technology except for a very tiny elite, and that'll never work. | ||
| That's probably what caused the last war that blew everything. | ||
| Probably. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now, I couldn't learn about it. | |
| Laissez-faire. | ||
| Open the floodgates. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Let's go, let's go, let's go, like Elvis says. | ||
| A little less talk, a little more action. | ||
| Come on, baby, let's go, let's go. | ||
| Grab your coat and let's start walking. | ||
| Little less talk, a little more action. | ||
| Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. | ||
| Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. | ||
| Come on, come on, come on, come on. | ||
| Come on, come on, come on, come on. | ||
| I think Elvis does it better. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| Fun fact, that song's about Atlantis. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, and how they could have avoided blowing themselves up if they just went laissez-faire. | ||
| I didn't know Elvis was that deep in his songwriting. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, definitely. | ||
| When he was doing Blue Hawaii, when he was on that movie, he started to learn about islands and stuff. | ||
| I've always been like, oh, I think his lyrics are very surface level. | ||
| It feels very easy to understand, but now that I'm seeing there's a whole Atlantis undertone, I hadn't even considered that. | ||
| And instructions on how to avoid the next, like, world-destroying war. | ||
| Well, yeah. | ||
| I mean, if I was going to keep those instructions anywhere, I would keep them in Elvis' lyrics. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Obviously. | ||
| You Ain't Nothing But a Hound Dog is actually about Julius Caesar. | ||
| Holy shit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is game-changing. | |
| So this is just stupid. | ||
| Yeah, there's really nothing else to say to that. | ||
| I find myself periodically just wanting to yell, shut up! | ||
| Shut up! | ||
| So dumb. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So we get back to some real world stuff as opposed to fantasies about moon vacations in Atlantis. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And it has to do with more of these things that Musk is uncovering. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Now, look at this. | ||
| Can someone explain to me why the Department of Defense provided... | ||
| Look at that number. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look at that number. | |
| $9,147,000 to Reuters for active social engineering defense. | ||
| A-E-A-S-E-D. | ||
| Active social engineering defense. | ||
| Large-scale social deception. | ||
|
unidentified
|
LSD. | |
| Look at that document they just released. | ||
| Now, I didn't even know about these terms. | ||
| I mean, I know about a lot of them, but we're learning some very nice new terms. | ||
| Active Social Engineering Defense. | ||
| That's what they call the Department of War, Department of Defense. | ||
| Every day, so the name changed. | ||
| And Father of Modern Propaganda, look. | ||
| Active Social Engineering Defense. | ||
| A-S-E-D. | ||
| I've always told you it's social engineering, weaponized social engineering. | ||
| And then, look. | ||
| Large-scale social... | ||
| Deception. | ||
| Alex is just cold reading a tweet and reacting to it. | ||
| Like, he doesn't know anything about this story, including the fact that he's covered it already on his show. | ||
| Great. | ||
| He doesn't know what's breaking news because all he's doing is reading tweets and then ranting about them. | ||
| On a very basic level, he doesn't even understand what information he's covered in the past or hasn't. | ||
| This is all just noise. | ||
| He's just getting stimulus in the form of these tweets that someone printed out and put in front of him, and he's reacting. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| I feel like if I had one instant thing I could do. | ||
| Like, instantly everything changes. | ||
| It would be any question that begins with, could somebody please explain to me, would immediately be answered with, yes. | ||
| Somebody can. | ||
| The problem is not that somebody can't explain it to you. | ||
| It is that you do not give a fuck. | ||
| So shut up. | ||
| And you're dishonest. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In the way you're... | ||
| Can somebody please explain? | ||
| Yes, they had to. | ||
| That's why it's on a piece of paper with an explanation for why they could do it. | ||
| There was a check written. | ||
| Somebody went to somebody else. | ||
| There was a proposal written out. | ||
| Then they had to go up to their boss. | ||
| And that guy was like, I don't know if we have enough money this year. | ||
| And the other guy was like, no, we should cut this program so we can afford to do... | ||
| Yes, someone can explain to you why that money is there. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I think that maybe we should reorganize the world in such a way that people actually can separate who wants an explanation from who's playing, I'm just asking questions, games. | ||
| Because those people are really toxic. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| So, Alex has been talking on this episode about Al Green putting out impeachment against Trump. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| And it's kind of funny, because if you pay attention to this clip, you will see very clearly that Alex did not know why Al Green had suggested impeachment. | ||
| And when he realizes he is no longer interested. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| Just giant developments everywhere. | ||
| This reportedly has already been done, but we haven't seen it yet. | ||
| We're checking. | ||
| Texas Democrat to bring first articles of impeachment of Trump's second term. | ||
| He's done this many times, but this is the latest in this administration. | ||
| Democrat Rat, Representative Al Green of Texas, said today that he has just brought articles of impeachment against Donald Trump over the alleged threat. | ||
| Of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. | ||
| On Tuesday, Trump said during a news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the United States wants to take over the Gaza Strip, drawing backlash from some lawmakers and praise from others. | ||
| The movement to impeach the president has begun. | ||
| I raise the announcement that I will bring articles of impeachment against the president for the dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done. | ||
| Green said Wednesday, all Trump did was propose it. | ||
| So you can definitely tell that Alex had no idea why Green proposed impeachment before he started reading that. | ||
| Alex is not ready to defend Trump saying that the U.S. should take over the Gaza Strip, and you can tell because the best he's got in terms of defending ethnic cleansing is calling it, quote, paying them to move somewhere nice. | ||
| Alex doesn't care about the Palestinian people at all. | ||
| And any attempt to pretend to care about this issue previously was mostly based in not wanting to risk losing the deeply anti-Semitic ends of Trump's base before the 2024 election. | ||
| He wouldn't care if Israel killed and displaced every Palestinian person. | ||
| He does not give a shit at all. | ||
| And you can, like, what I'm saying, like, he didn't know why this impeachment was suggested before starting that. | ||
| It's so clear if you listen to just the rest of how it goes. | ||
| During Trump's first term, 2017-2019, Green, who represented the Houston area, unsuccessfully attempted to impeach the president on three separate occasions. | ||
| So, they are beyond scared. | ||
| Look, I know our audience knows they're lying. | ||
| You know the law. | ||
| But I want to go over it some here and I want to play some of the clips. | ||
| Of the unprecedented hoaxing that is going on right now by Chuckie Schumer, Pocahontas, Hakeem Jeffries, all of them. | ||
| They're all over corporate news. | ||
| They're all over press conferences saying he's in your private info. | ||
| He's going to give it to the Chinese hackers. | ||
| People aren't getting their Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. | ||
| All of that's a lie. | ||
| You're not going to get those payments if we go bankrupt, which we already are. | ||
| We have to shut this down, grow the economy, or we're screwed. | ||
| And that starts with cutting energy prices by half within one year, and Trump can do it. | ||
| He did it before. | ||
| So you can tell that Alex is eager to go on to another subject. | ||
| He just moves right along. | ||
| He thought that the Green impeachment was going to be about something fun that he could yell about, but as soon as he realized that it was about Gaza, he bailed. | ||
| There's a lot of window dressing on his next point, but the thing Alex is trying to argue is that the Dems are lying when they say that Elon's meddling will affect their Social Security payments. | ||
| One of the benefits to us being a little bit in the future is we know that Alex is very much wrong. | ||
| He's entirely wrong about the Democrats lying about this. | ||
| An 82-year-old man in Seattle named Ned Johnson was erroneously declared dead, which led to him losing his Social Security benefits. | ||
| This was in the context of Elon gaining access to Social Security records and Medicare data and making a big deal out of how many dead people are receiving benefits. | ||
| This is a guy who was alive and receiving benefits, but could easily have been accidentally seen as a case where someone was scamming the system and shut off from the things they need. | ||
| This is one person, but his case illustrates something that could happen and might very well be happening to a lot of people. | ||
| Beyond that, the funding cuts that Trump and Elon are pushing have led to shrinking of the workforce, which necessarily means less Social Security reps and offices to serve the people who rely on it to survive and have paid into it their entire careers. | ||
| Doge aimed to close 47 Social Security offices, justifying it by saying that hearings that were done there, like they were in-person hearings, and these can just be done virtually. | ||
| Simultaneously, Trump's administration has created new anti-fraud rules that require you to apply for benefits in person and do things like change your direct deposit information in person as well. | ||
| If you want to make these changes, you've got to go in. | ||
| It's almost like they're trying to destroy this thing by making it impossible to use. | ||
| Social Security is an incredibly powerful and beloved government program that keeps countless retired people out of poverty. | ||
| Everyone knows that it's politically toxic to touch it because it works and it gets rid of a lot of poverty and getting rid of it would kill a ton of people. | ||
| That's why there's been a bit of mixed messaging from Trump on the issue. | ||
| He's a political figure and needs to get voted into office, so he's sworn that they weren't going to take Social Security. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| a huge Ponzi scheme and he wants to destroy it. | ||
| The administration is incoherent because Trump still kind of needs to be liked as that figure and Elon doesn't. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so you get this. | |
| And the true face is Elon. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, the problem, I guess, would be that, you know, naturally the people who are most going to be affected by Social Security are also a majority of the people who voted for Trump. | ||
| And it's just not going to bounce back on him because they have complete control over what those people think. | ||
| Well, yeah. | ||
| And I think that to the extent that it is going to bounce back, it'll be... | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| any bounce back or consequences in terms of political capital for the GOP. | ||
| And that is really, really sad because people are going to be severely hurt by it. | ||
| Between the people who are directly hurt by these cuts and making these things more unaccessible and their children who may need to take on new financial burdens in order to help keep their parents alive, it's just a load of shit. | ||
| And they're doing this willingly and knowingly. | ||
| They know exactly what they're doing. | ||
| But you can see there how much Alex is just like, whoops. | ||
| It moves along. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I wouldn't want to talk about it. | ||
| I feel like, you know, he had made a big deal of it earlier in the episode with no context, just that Green had announced some impeachment thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And, like, he screams about all the attempts to impeach Trump. | ||
| This is just like, oop, we're moving along. | ||
| Let's just, let's leave this in the rear view. | ||
| It's notable. | ||
| As long as people stop talking about it, maybe it'll go away. | ||
| So, Alex, I mean, like, this show, like, legit, is just cold-reading tweets. | ||
| Elon Musk just posted this, and it's right here in the federal documents they've been releasing this, just to the public. | ||
| Could someone explain to me why the Department of Defense provided $9,147,000-plus to Reuters for active social engineering defense, ASED, and large-scale social deception, LSD? | ||
| That's how... | ||
| In the grants, at usspending.gov, Department of Defense, Thompson Reuters Special Services, that's MI6. | ||
| You can look it up. | ||
| Remember the $300 million targeting Musk last year from the Biden administration? | ||
| A lot of this isn't even hidden. | ||
| And you can read all about it right here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| About how to brainwash the public under social engineering, defense system, electro, electronics communication, North American industry classification system, active social engineering, defense, large-scale social... | ||
| Deception. | ||
| Zoom in on that. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Just look. | ||
| Alex is just reading tweets that Elon's posting, and I think if you listen to that, you don't have any additional information. | ||
| You don't understand what any of this is about. | ||
| You just know that Elon tweeted something, and there's a bunch of these words in there that sound kind of scary. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Large-scale deception. | ||
| Ooh, scary, scary stuff. | ||
| So also, like you pointed out... | ||
| Thomas& Reuters has a company called TRSS that they run that offers software and information services. | ||
| In 2018, when Trump was in office, the government offered up a contract that involved preventing large-scale social manipulation online, including through cyber attacks. | ||
| The contract was competitive and TRSS won the contract and served as the testers on a defensive platform. | ||
| Alex and his ilk are pretending that this is about Reuters, the news service, being paid to engage in social manipulation and engineering, but that's because they're malicious and stupid. | ||
| And Musk gives up the game when he says, can anyone tell me why this money was spent? | ||
| When he does that, because it's transparently dishonest. | ||
| He's playing the same game that folks like Alex have for years where you pretend to ask questions when in reality you have a very firm answer that you're pushing and again this goes back to the like the ways that these people do make sense together yeah they play similar games yeah uh even if the boards they're on are very different yeah and it's predicated almost in Mm-hmm. | ||
| It's predatory. | ||
| The idea of Elon Musk saying, can somebody tell me why this money was spent without somebody else going, I will hit you in the face for all the things that you have spent money on, you waste of humanity. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What are you fucking... | |
| Can somebody tell me why there's a hole underneath New Yorker? | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| I'm going to workshop. | ||
| And just sort of snowball this on Twitter with a bunch of random people coming up with angry... | ||
| Hey, I'm trying to get a mob coming together. | ||
| Anybody want in on? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's no benefit that is brought to anything. | ||
| There's no further understanding. | ||
| And there will be no correction when it's like, oh, here's what happened here. | ||
| Oh, thanks. | ||
| Someone explained it to me. | ||
| Some well-meaning person wasted their life spending time explaining to you a thing that you don't want to know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's incitement. | ||
| Without owning the incitement. | ||
| It's cowardly incitement. | ||
| Hiding behind the mask of curiosity. | ||
| Can somebody just get to the bottom of this? | ||
| Fuck you. | ||
| So anyway, Reuters has some payroll issues. | ||
| Lightning strikes. | ||
| Let's see that. | ||
| In function here. | ||
|
unidentified

Oh, look right here. | |
| Politico faces payroll issues amid revelations of U.S. government funding. | ||
| That's today. | ||
| And they're funding the BBC with your tax money secretly. | ||
| And they can't make payroll. | ||
| Staff at Politico did not get paid for their last pay period. | ||
| The company just sent several emails, employees saying it believes there was a financial error and is looking into how to fix the issue. | ||
| And that's the theft they're talking about must, cutting off all this illegal crap, because the president has that executive power when he believes it's fraud, and now they're going to try to defend, in congressional hearings, you know we're coming, that Trump's cut off the money to carry out, quote, active social engineering defense and large-scale social deception. | ||

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. | |
| He's just making shit up. | ||
| He's just making shit up. | ||
| Yeah, that's absurd. | ||
| And you start to notice, obviously, like, if you watch enough of his shows, he kind of is just doing laps. | ||
| You know, like you hit these same tweets kind of in a cyclical fashion. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's because he's got nothing else. | ||
| Yeah, it feels so much like when I was working the graveyard shift at a hotel every morning at, like, the 4 a.m. hour. | ||
| ESPN would show the old Mike and Mike radio show on TV, because whatever. | ||
| It was the early thousands. | ||
| We did that back then. | ||
| And it would have just, like, the list of topics that was a circle. | ||
| Every hour they would go through the same, like, hey, by the way, last hour we talked about this, but this hour it's like, how's fucking Kevin Euclid doing this year, you know? | ||
| And it was like, it was just a rotation. | ||
| It was the same thing over and over and over and over again. | ||
| That sounds insufferable. | ||
| They had to fill time. | ||
| Yeah, but at least they were honest about it, like, by showing the loop. | ||
| As opposed to Alex, who pretends that these are all new stories. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely! | ||
| Like, they just had it out there, so it's like, hey, by the way, I don't give a shit about NASCAR right now. | ||
| I'll come back in five minutes, you know? | ||
| Like, I don't need to hear him read a tweet about NASCAR. | ||
| It's almost like more, it's worse because it's obvious about what it's doing. | ||
| And at the same time, it's better because it's letting you know how to plan your time, you know? | ||
| So, I guess we have moon vacations coming up. | ||
| We've got all this. | ||
| As long as we just submit to... | ||
| Elon Musk gutting out and reforming the government to exactly what we want. | ||
| Hooray, we're the new Atlantis. | ||
| A little bit later on the show, Alex has a guest. | ||
| What are we going to do on the moon? | ||
| I couldn't decide, like, in that moment, I couldn't decide whether to play the role of... | ||
| Like, really mean response of, like, you do anything you want on the moon. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| Or just be like, you walk on it? | ||
| I couldn't figure out which role to play, and instead I just laughed. | ||
| Like, has it... | ||
| You don't of course could do anything. | ||
| Well, but I mean, it would take longer than ten years to build something for people to do touristly on the moon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| Yep. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Also, like, I guess, you know, it's just being there. | ||
| No! | ||
| It's not! | ||
| It is an empty rock in space. | ||
| No, but I'm saying that if you took a vacation to the moon, just being there would be enough. | ||
| Because you're on the fucking moon. | ||
| I don't know if that's true anymore. | ||
| I think that's true for a lot of people. | ||
| Because I was thinking about it. | ||
| I'm like, you know what would take almost no time to make on the moon? | ||
| A swing set. | ||
| And I'll go do a little swing set on the moon. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| This is an interesting test. | ||
| Is this a gravity-based test or, like, a space-based test? | ||
| Like, nobody's getting in my way while I build a swing set. | ||
| I just think it's, like, on a construction level, it's pretty simple. | ||
| It's lighter. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Pretty easy to set up. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And I think it doesn't rely on increased difficulties. | ||
| Like, a basketball hoop would be really easy to set up on the moon. | ||
| But then using it would be hard. | ||
| Ooh, do you know what else you could do on the moon with the swing set? | ||
| What could you do? | ||
| Cold welding. | ||
| Because there's no... | ||
| While you're swinging? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| What happens is if you've got two pieces of the same metal and they touch in space, they immediately become one. | ||
| It's cold welding. | ||
| Because it has something to do with atoms and shit. | ||
| I think that was in the third Jason Bourne movie. | ||
| It does sound like that's true. | ||
| It does sound like that was a... | ||
| Was it Moonraker? | ||
| The original novel, though, before they'd gone to space. | ||
| That was all the globalist plans. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| So anyway, Alex has a guest on the show. | ||
| He should stop having this dude on. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| Victor Boot is a Russian businessman. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Great. | |
| He was arrested by the DEA, staying in operation famously in Bangkok 2008. | ||
| He was illegally transferred to the New York City Metropolitan Correctional Center November 2010, went on trial, and was sentenced 25 years. | ||
| He spent 10 years in the infamous CMU unit of the United States Penitentiary, Marion. | ||
| In December 2022, he was exchanged for prisoner swap with Brittany Greiner. | ||
| He is now a deputy in the regional legislature, a member of the High Council LDPR party. | ||
| And I wanted to get his Russian perspective. | ||
| He's also spent the last few weeks on the war front in Western Russia and in Ukraine, which is Russia, and until Lenin gave it away. | ||
| Oh, boy. | ||
| How about it? | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| So he can start with a review on what he sees here in America. | ||
| Our second American revolution is in full swing, baby. | ||
| And we're winning. | ||
| Or he can start with the war. | ||
| He's got the floor. | ||
| Victor, it's good to see you, my friend. | ||
| Hey, Trump survived. | ||
| He got in. | ||
| He's delivering, in my view. | ||
| I get chills at the speed of this. | ||
| This is incredible. | ||
| But then I want to think, oh, but what are the bad guys going to do? | ||
| And I get really concerned. | ||
| So you can start wherever you like. | ||
| Thanks for joining us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| You're absolutely right. | ||
| It's not only looks, but it sounds like revolution. | ||
| Yeah, it's a revolution! | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So Alex is once again interviewing the merchant of death, former arms dealer Victor Boot. | ||
| Like, this is crazy. | ||
| This is, like, I think that if you're a peace guy, like Alex likes to pretend to be, the only interview you can have with this guy is incredibly confrontational. | ||
| It would have to be. | ||
| But instead, it's just kissing his ass and talking about how Western Ukraine is actually secretly Russia. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Uh, cool, man. | ||
| Yeah, that's real cool. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Incidentally, at the end of last year, it came out that Boot was back in the weapons business. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| He was brokering deals with the Houthis in Yemen. | ||
| The Wall Street Journal reported that he sold about $10 million worth of small arms to the Houthis with what appears to be the approval of Moscow. | ||
| Well, it would have to be. | ||
| So that's interesting, because just the other day, as we're recording this, Trump carried out a large-scale attack on Yemen meant to take out the Houthis. | ||
| Weird. | ||
| Trump said, quote, they will be completely annihilated. | ||
| So I just don't understand where anyone's head is at. | ||
| Alex is supporting Trump, who's the peace candidate, who's bombing Yemen in order to fight the Houthis, who the guy who Alex is interviewing as a really cool guy is selling arms to. | ||
| Huh. | ||
| What would Alex think about that in the past? | ||
| What would 2001 Alex say? | ||
| That's an interesting question. | ||
| He wouldn't love it. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| No. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| I have another question for you. | ||
| And this is a question that has just occurred to me. | ||
| Is it possible that Victor Boot is very good at the act of selling weapons? | ||
| As, like, a salesman. | ||
| You know, some people are good at selling. | ||
| You kind of have to be, if you're in his position, probably. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Or is it that there are so few people who are just willing to straight out and out be a weapons dealer that, like, people are already looking for weapons and you've got weapons. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? | ||
| Yeah, that's kind of a little bit where my head goes. | ||
| I think weapons largely sell themselves. | ||
| That's what I... | ||
| I was thinking, they need weapons, they have weapons, you just need a guy in between who doesn't need to be like, hey, how can I get you into an extra set of weapons today? | ||
| No, but I think whatever those used car dealer traits that are used to move cars onto people, I think they're used to not die. | ||
| Right! | ||
| Upselling! | ||
| Upselling to life! | ||
| In the arms dealer business, you have to use that charisma in order to survive. | ||
| Because you're dealing with some shady fucking people. | ||
| At the end of this, I'm going to leave this room. | ||
| That's my sale right here. | ||
| I live at the end of this conversation and I'm not shot in the head by my own weapons. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And I think a lot of that might come down to you're also a real bad dude. | ||
| Probably a real bad dude. | ||
| Who scares the other people who sell weapons. | ||
| Because you sell weapons! | ||
| Maybe to the point where they make a movie about you starring Nicolas Cage called Lord of War. | ||
| Sure, that does make sense. | ||
| That does make sense. | ||
| Very movie-like. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| To broker weapons. | ||
| Such bullshit. | ||
| Just such bullshit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I just can't even believe that Alex can look himself in the mirror when he's become this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's sad. | ||
| It's shameful. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Anyway, we'll see what he's up to later. | ||
| But I don't care about him interviewing a fucking arms dealer. | ||
| See, now this is the problem for me, is now I have an in on the arms dealer. | ||
| Because I remember being in sales. | ||
| I remember going to conferences where there would be all these sales people all in a room together, all just sales talking into each other about, I hit this blank number or whatever it is like that. | ||
| The idea that there would be a weapons dealer conference. | ||
| I don't think there is. | ||
| Where like... | ||
| Guys like Victor Boone are like, dude, I cleared two billion in weapons, just generalized weapons. | ||
| I'm going to guess that there is not like a con of a convention. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| And one of the reasons is I think that there's a difference between when you're selling hearing aids and stuff. | ||
| Getting the material is legal. | ||
| It's quite legal. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| And what you're selling is quite legal. | ||
| It tends to be. | ||
| On his side, he's got some, probably a lot of illegal shit. | ||
| Gray area most of the time. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| In the same way, there's not like... | ||
| Heroin conventions. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I imagine... | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I don't know if that's true. | ||
| I'm pretty confident there's not heroin conventions. | ||
| Although, if someone wants to correct me, they're welcome to let me know. | ||
| So, we'll see where things go from here, but it's not going to be good. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| But until then, we have a website. | ||
| Indeed we do. | ||
| It's knowledgefight.com. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| We'll be back. | ||
| But until then, I'm Neo. | ||
| I'm Leo. | ||
| I'm DZX Clark. | ||
| I am the Mysterious Professor. | ||
| And now here comes the sex robots. | ||
| Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. | ||
| Thanks for holding. | ||
