Hello, Alex.
I'm a first time calling.
I'm a huge fan.
I love your world.
Knowledge Fight.
alex jones
KnowledgeFight.com.
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple dudes like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Oh, indeed we are, Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
Quick question for you.
dan friesen
What's up?
jordan holmes
What's your bright spot today, buddy?
dan friesen
My bright spot today is, so I've lived in this apartment building for a year or two-ish.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Somewhere in there.
And I get emails from the condo association, and it's always boring.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
They're always stupid things like, I don't know, the elevator's out or something.
jordan holmes
Yeah, reasonable stuff.
House stuff.
dan friesen
I finally got one that I had to open.
jordan holmes
Oh.
dan friesen
And it was an urgent message to not throw things off the balcony.
jordan holmes
That's fair.
dan friesen
And I wanted more information.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
Who threw stuff off the balcony?
jordan holmes
Nobody is suddenly giving you an urgent don't throw things off the balcony unless somebody threw something off the balcony.
dan friesen
Right.
And a lot of things that you can throw off balconies don't really cause a problem.
jordan holmes
Wouldn't even know.
dan friesen
Right.
So this had to have been something that was an issue.
jordan holmes
Sizable.
dan friesen
That someone threw off a balcony.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
Or a pattern of behavior, where a bunch of people are throwing things off balconies.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And I got no information.
But it was exciting to see an email that I actually was curious about.
jordan holmes
Like a regular beer can thing.
You know, like you have a party and people are just tossing beer cans over.
If it's one beer can, nobody's going to send you an urgent email?
dan friesen
Probably not.
jordan holmes
If it's 20, there's going to be a problem.
dan friesen
Yeah, but I...
I feel like that wouldn't be throw things off the balcony.
That would be like littering or something.
You're totally right.
This feels like a couch.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I was thinking table.
My first thought was table.
dan friesen
It's furniture.
It feels like it's furniture.
jordan holmes
It feels furniture-y as a problem, yes.
dan friesen
Which I kind of understand.
Moving's a pain in the ass.
jordan holmes
It is.
dan friesen
But I don't know.
I'll get to the bottom of this mystery.
jordan holmes
I've been angry at a table before.
unidentified
Sure.
jordan holmes
This has got to go.
This is bullshit!
dan friesen
So what's your bright spot?
jordan holmes
My bright spot is yesterday was my birthday.
dan friesen
Happy birthday.
jordan holmes
Thank you.
And it was, I think, my first official, like, old-ass person birthday.
dan friesen
You're not 40 yet.
jordan holmes
Because, not because of age, but because for my birthday, my wife went to a cardiologist.
My back really hurt.
And we were gonna eat dinner, but both of us were like, ooh, I don't know.
My stomach is acid is a little bit off.
So it was essentially a non-day.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Well, I'm sure that a year ago your wife didn't go to a cardiologist.
jordan holmes
No, she did not.
dan friesen
But I'm guessing your back hurt and maybe you had some stomach acid.
jordan holmes
That tends to be.
dan friesen
I feel like your last birthday might have been fairly similar.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but my wife didn't go to the cardiologist.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's true.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I think just saying cardiologist ages you.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So I think that you might need a lazy boy.
jordan holmes
We got a chair.
dan friesen
Yeah, but is it a lazy boy?
No, it's not a cool one.
jordan holmes
Do you know how fucking expensive those things are?
dan friesen
I think I did look it up once.
I think they are crazy.
jordan holmes
Crazy expensive.
dan friesen
Yeah.
What about a not-so-lazy boy?
A very busy boy.
jordan holmes
I mean, for my Christmas present, my wife and her mom bought me a chair, one of those chairs, but, I mean, you know.
I went for the $500 to $800 range.
dan friesen
Right, right.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
You didn't go for the...
jordan holmes
The Lazy Boys are like, four grand.
dan friesen
You didn't go for the old man...
What was that fucking Trump by Grace?
jordan holmes
That chair.
That chair was a chair.
There were two of them, too.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Oh, man.
dan friesen
That's the dream.
That's the hammock.
So, Jordan, today we have an episode to go over.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
We're going to be talking about May 8th, 2025.
Because there's a new Pope.
jordan holmes
Yes, there is a new Pope.
dan friesen
And it happened while Alex was on air.
jordan holmes
That's awesome.
dan friesen
Yeah, so we got to see what happens.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
Does Alex like the new Pope?
Does Alex know who the new Pope is?
jordan holmes
I mean, I didn't know about the new Pope.
dan friesen
You didn't know about our Chicago boy?
jordan holmes
I didn't know anything about the Chicago boy.
dan friesen
Me and this guy go way back.
jordan holmes
Do you go way back?
dan friesen
Yeah, man, we used to be like, we'd go to open mics at High Tops over on Lincoln.
jordan holmes
That sounds true.
dan friesen
Yeah, I would do a tight five about my dick, and he would pray.
jordan holmes
And he would bless everybody.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
He would talk about canon law, you know, like you do.
dan friesen
Yeah, into the early hours of the night.
jordan holmes
I mean, he was the general of the Augustinian order, so you know he's a boss.
dan friesen
Yeah.
No, I knew nothing about him until he became Pope.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
But yeah, it'll be fun to hear Alex's take on things.
And so we'll get down to business on that.
But first, let's say hello to some new wonks.
jordan holmes
Ooh, that's a great idea.
dan friesen
So first, to Salma, liberal lesbians want to eat your brains.
Alex Jones, thank you so much.
You're now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much!
dan friesen
I think it was a quote.
It was an Alex Jones quote.
Next.
Tall Tall Chase in Springfield, Oregon.
Thank you so much.
You're now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much!
dan friesen
Thank you.
And my bright spot is traveling two hours to see a 4K restoration of Princess Mononoke in an IMAX theater.
Thank you so much.
You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
Thank you.
And we had a technocrat in the mix, Jordan.
So thank you so much to Release the Glasgow Show You Cowards.
Love from Craig the Squonk, who missed his flight from Dublin and is still visibly angry about it.
Thank you so much.
You are now a technocrat.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
unidentified
Four stars.
alex jones
Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant.
Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop.
Daddy Shark.
Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent.
He's a loser little titty baby.
I don't want to hate black people.
I renounce Jesus Christ!
dan friesen
Never.
jordan holmes
Yeah, wasn't that the one where we didn't get the audience?
dan friesen
Yeah, the audio of it is troubling.
jordan holmes
Terrifying.
dan friesen
Yeah.
We sound insane.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
And I don't have the capacity or...
I don't want to put fake laughs in there in order to make it sound palatable to the ears.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
But also, I'm going to pretend that the reason that we're not going to release it is because Glasgow did not hold up their end of the bargain, which was kicking the shit out of you.
jordan holmes
I was meant to die.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That was to be my last day.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
We made it out safe.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
And everyone was very nice.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
And that is not what we signed up for.
So we start off here on the 8th.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And I think by the time Alex got on air, the white smoke had come out.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
After he got on air, but he's not aware of it.
Definitely.
He's setting out to just complain about Bill Gates.
jordan holmes
Regular stuff.
dan friesen
Yeah.
alex jones
It's Thursday, May 8th, 2025.
unidentified
And Bill Gates is really at it again.
alex jones
We're about to expose InfoWars.
Tomorrow's news, today.
We are now entering the 108th day of the return of the West.
Via the American Republic, 1776 Worldwide.
I am your host, Alex Jones, coming to you from deep in the heart of Texas Broadcasting Worldwide.
Now, I got up this morning and saw a splash all over corporate media everywhere.
Bill Gates' big comeback, he thinks, or his big assault.
And he has singled out Elon Musk to say, Elon Musk is doing everything that Bill Gates has done.
So it's that classic meme of where you've got Indiana Jones with the Golden Idol, and he's trying to switch it out with the sand.
And that's exactly what's happening here.
I mean, it is incredible.
And what's amazing is, I woke up at 5 a.m. and saw this everywhere, and hours later kept looking, and right before the show went live, was looking, no one even seems to understand what's going on.
Even people that don't like Bill Gates don't understand how he operates, what his foundation does.
And what he's doing right here.
I mean, Bill Gates runs the World Population Control Foundation.
They changed the name in 2000 to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
dan friesen
So we've talked about this in the past, but Alex just got that thing about the name of the Gates Foundation from a meme that he saw on Twitter.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's not true, which would give some indication about how seriously one should take his coverage of this story.
So Bill Gates came out and announced that he was going to close the Gates Foundation at the end of 2045, and in the time until then, he was going to give away virtually all of his money, approximately $200 billion.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I have no interest in deifying Bill Gates, but this kind of makes sense.
Trump has made clear that public health, particularly investing in health in other countries, isn't something that he's interested in funding, which really makes Bill Gates' work hard to do.
He discussed the problem that getting rid of USAID represented earlier this year, saying, quote, getting those people out there in their depth of experience, that's an asset that would be very hard to recreate.
He was essentially saying that if Trump flips that switch, it'll cause giant problems that can't be solved by just reflipping the switch.
I think that Gates is right here, but I also don't really care about him all that much.
And this is where Alex's show has become deeply pathetic.
Alex isn't really even talking about what Gates did or didn't do.
This is all happening because Gates insulted Elon Musk.
He said, quote, the picture of the world's richest man killing the world's poorest children is not a pretty one.
So Alex has to lead the show with this or else, you know, he won't be doing his job.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but it would be nice to watch the poorest children in the world kill the richest man.
It does go both ways.
dan friesen
Sure, sure.
Eventually, you'd hope that that would be a picture.
jordan holmes
Man, if they just ate him.
Just, oh boy, Lord of the Fly style.
dan friesen
This should be a good opportunity for Alex to reflect a little bit about the kind of coverage that he does, because Gates directly indicted some of Alex's storylines that he's had a hand in promoting.
He said this to the New York Times of Musk's actions with Doge.
Will they go to meet those babies who got HIV because the money was cut?
Probably not.
A recent Lancet study estimated that in the next five years, the cuts to USAID are likely to result in half a million more children needlessly being born with HIV, and that's only one piece of the damage that Trump and Musk are doing.
If you read Gates' interview in The Times, it's pretty clear what his thinking is here.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
We have idiots in charge now, but they won't always be in charge.
Gates believes that him spending more money now to try to fill that gap will make it so that public health issues the world faces don't become unsolvable before a new administration takes back over the government.
Whether you want to believe his motives or not, that is what he's clearly expressing.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
And that makes some sense.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I mean, I'm all for it.
Like, logically, I see where he's coming from.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
But there is a large part of me that says it's 2025, and to hear a billionaire be sanctimonious about anything makes me rabid.
dan friesen
Yeah, I'm not naive enough to believe in fully altruistic motives, but at the same time, I...
I'm not cynical enough to believe this is all just like, I need to hide my money.
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, you know, one part of me says, go for it, and I'm all for it, and the other part of me is foaming at the mouth.
Sure.
dan friesen
But that part of you is always going to be foaming at the mouth.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's never going to not.
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, Bill Gates, he kills children, like he's accusing Musk of killing.
alex jones
So he's accused Elon Musk of killing children with U.S. aid cuts when on record, just pull it up, Reuters, AP, if it had to admit it.
Headline, the majority of polio cases worldwide caused by the vaccine.
dan friesen
Then you read the articles, the document, If Alex had a good argument about this stuff, you really think he wouldn't just constantly go back to this single example of a headline that he's misrepresenting.
If Bill Gates and polio vaccines were really causing so much polio, I would expect that Alex would be able to point to other pieces of data than just this headline.
He can't go any deeper than the headline, because this is a parlor trick Alex is playing, and he knows that any further information reveals that fraud to the audience.
And I just wish he'd get into any numbers.
Even the basic stats, like how there were 16,000 cases of polio in the United States per year before the vaccine was developed, and there were zero.
jordan holmes
That is an issue.
dan friesen
Eradicated.
jordan holmes
That is an issue.
dan friesen
There are only two countries in the world where wild poliovirus still circulate freely.
Yeah.
Freely is even...
Probably not the right word.
jordan holmes
I just, I don't understand people.
I understand all the reasons.
I understand rational stuff.
I understand all of that.
But to me, like, once I found out I could eradicate a disease, I'm building a fucking Avengers team and we're going after all of them one by one.
I don't give a shit, you know?
dan friesen
You may actually like Bill Gates' interview in the Times more than you think that.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Because he talks about how it's criminal to not eradicate the things that can be eradicated.
jordan holmes
I mean, what kind of...
And if Lunatic doesn't think that, right?
dan friesen
Yeah, I agree.
jordan holmes
You don't have to be a crazy or a healthcare CEO.
dan friesen
Yeah, or an Alex.
jordan holmes
Or an Alex, yeah.
dan friesen
So I think he's just mad that he was mean to Elon Musk.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it has to be.
dan friesen
I really think that that's just what's got him all hot and bothered.
alex jones
Because it's very frustrating.
People don't get this.
And even me trying to address how bad he is, I can go 10 hours straight.
I mean, it made the top of my head blow up this morning when I saw this.
Elon Musk is the opposite of Bill Gates.
In pro-human population systems, Gates is the Mr. I-want-to-kill-everybody on record, and now he says Elon Musk is who he is.
I will not stand for it, and you shouldn't either.
dan friesen
I think, like, I get it.
You hate Bill Gates, and that's fine.
You don't have to be like Elon Musk is trying to save humanity.
You don't have to do both of those things.
You could just...
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, the problem with that is obviously like, oh, if Bill Gates wants to kettle pot shit, like the very existence of his billions is a zero-sum game that has absolutely led to...
Poor people experiencing misery beyond misery.
The creation of the inequality that he encourages and embodies is bad for children.
So if you want to do that, then that's fine.
But then you go, well, Elon Musk is exactly the same fucking piece of shit.
dan friesen
But probably worse.
jordan holmes
But probably worse.
dan friesen
Probably way worse.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And also, I think you would like this New York Times interview because Bill Gates talks about that a little bit.
About how he needs to put the money back into the world.
And, you know, whether or not you believe him, that's your business.
jordan holmes
No, again, it's fine.
dan friesen
Yeah, he's not unaware of the dynamic that you're...
jordan holmes
You should be.
He's like 65 years old.
You should be aware of this at this point.
dan friesen
I think he's 69. Nice.
Like the Pope.
jordan holmes
Bo!
dan friesen
Coincidence?
jordan holmes
Not controlling the population there.
dan friesen
So, Alex, he's decided he's going to fucking expose Bill Gates.
jordan holmes
Yeah, about time.
alex jones
I am going to cover all the other incredible news in this hour.
And then when I start the second hour, I am going to expose his ass like nobody else has.
And here's the problem.
What I cover in the next hour, second hour, is...
Is only a small portion.
This guy is so bad.
So evil.
dan friesen
I hear stuff like that and I'm just like, was he holding back before?
Does he think he hasn't said everything he has to say about Bill Gates?
jordan holmes
And what more could you possibly need?
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
Right?
dan friesen
He doesn't have any new material.
I know that.
jordan holmes
But like, once you're like, hey, this guy kills and eats children for their blood.
I don't...
I mean, like, I don't need a...
And also, he's bad.
Like, I know!
dan friesen
He's maybe part of the Council of Twelve or possibly middle management.
jordan holmes
Fine!
We've already reached the point where I'm on your team for getting rid of this guy if that's what we have to do here.
alex jones
Right?
dan friesen
I just...
I think that it would be like if we sat down and we were like...
We're gonna fucking expose Alex.
jordan holmes
It's about time.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
We've been holding back all these years.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We've been trying to make him look good.
Yep.
dan friesen
I've been giving the benefit of the doubt.
Of course.
Now granted, I did eight years ago.
jordan holmes
You did.
We moved on.
dan friesen
Yeah.
I think Alex has fully exposed Bill Gates.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
But thankfully, the Pope news breaks.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
And Alex doesn't have to only have this one plate to spin for the rest of the show.
alex jones
They're neo-feudalists.
Depopulationist.
I can show you their awards galas.
unidentified
Where they go, oh, to the Bill of Melinda Gates Foundation.
alex jones
Actually, in the real name, the Global Population Control Foundation was set up by his father.
Oh, I thought it started in 2020.
Yeah, right.
And his father took over the Thomas Watson IBM Global Eugenics Foundation.
Thomas Watson received the highest award ever given by Nazi Germany.
A special award made by Adolf Hitler for him.
Thomas Watson ran and advised Joseph Mengele.
They just elected a pope.
Let's put that on screen.
I'm going to stop there until next hour.
Oh my god, it makes me so angry.
dan friesen
Really switched gears.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And again, to be clear, Alex just saw a meme where a woman whose name he doesn't know was introduced accidentally as being from the Institute of Population Control, when the MC meant to say the Institute for Population and Reproductive Health, which was a Gates Foundation-funded branch of the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
Some dipshit posted the clip of this introduction and pretended that it revealed the Gates Foundation's original name, and Alex has just run with that because he's a dumb liar.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And this person didn't include the context where the person, even the MC corrects themselves.
Anyway, Thomas Watson was probably a piece of shit and someone who profits over human life, but Alex is overstating things a little bit.
But even if he, Why should he care?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
If he was alive, if Alex was alive during World War II, he would support the Nazis, saying that they were bad and all, but how can you possibly judge them when they're fighting against these evil globalists?
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
You know, when these evil globalists are so mad at white people and not letting the Aryans just live in peace.
jordan holmes
It's ridiculous to be mad at them whenever you should be mad at these things.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Get the branch out of your eye before you speck, you know?
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
There's no such organization as the Thomas Watson Global Eugenics Foundation.
jordan holmes
That would be a weird organization.
dan friesen
Yeah, and I suspect that Alex might be mixing up Bill Gates' dad with Frederick Gates, who's unrelated but was one of the founders of the Rockefeller Foundation.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
I think that's what he's doing there.
unidentified
Gotcha.
dan friesen
I'm not totally sure.
jordan holmes
Gates is Gates.
Who gives a shit if they're actually related?
dan friesen
Yep.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
You know who Bill Gates' cousin is?
jordan holmes
I don't.
dan friesen
Benjamin Franklin Gates.
jordan holmes
I did not know that.
dan friesen
Nicolas Cage's character from National Treasure.
jordan holmes
Ah, was that his name?
dan friesen
It was.
Wow.
jordan holmes
Okay, alright.
dan friesen
So we got a new pope.
jordan holmes
Right?
I felt like maybe this is because it came out so close to Conclave.
I felt like we got a new Pope awful quick.
Right?
And I'm not saying that the movie is an accurate depiction of events or anything like that.
But it felt like it was only a day or two.
Don't we normally have like a week of looking for a Pope?
dan friesen
I wondered about this and I didn't look it up and I regret it now because the question has been raised.
But I did feel like the last time it was longer.
jordan holmes
It felt longer last time, but that was because they got Cool Pope.
Cool Pope is going to take longer to get.
unidentified
Sure.
jordan holmes
Everybody knows that.
dan friesen
Yeah.
I don't...
I don't know.
Maybe that's the case.
Or maybe it was that short, and it's been so long that I've expanded it in my mind.
jordan holmes
I have no idea what the reality is, but it just felt soon.
dan friesen
This does feel quick, and I think the conclave of it all really just makes it too zeitgeisty.
There's too much in the air about conclaves.
jordan holmes
It was like one of the best pictures last year, and then the Pope dies?
Did you guys kill him?
Award season is coming up, or maybe it isn't.
I have no idea.
dan friesen
And then on Doughboys, they had a whole big conclave running joke during Munch Madness.
So it's like, there's just so much conclave stuff going on.
jordan holmes
There's a lot of conclave stuff.
dan friesen
It's crazy.
Yeah.
So overall, how are you feeling about the Pope?
jordan holmes
I mean, I guess we talked about it a little bit.
unidentified
We just joked about how he's from Chicago.
jordan holmes
Yeah, basically.
But I do, there is a part of me that's like, You can't have an American Pope.
You just can't.
dan friesen
It does feel a little...
jordan holmes
It feels wrong.
It feels...
Now, then there's another part of me that's like, ah, you can only have a Pope from the Medici family.
It's like, that's also crazy.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
But, I don't know.
dan friesen
When I heard that it was an American Pope, I was like, Cardinals, read the room.
jordan holmes
Right?
dan friesen
Don't have an American guy here.
jordan holmes
Now's not the time.
dan friesen
But apparently a lot of his, like, practice was in South America.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
So, like, he's from America, but also not totally...
jordan holmes
No, he's a global guy.
I guess is what I'm inventing a thing.
dan friesen
He doesn't have just a church in Chicago.
jordan holmes
No, no, no, no.
He has never gotten a hoagie with us.
That's never happened.
dan friesen
Except for that one time outside of High Tops on Lincoln.
Right, right, right, right.
Of course.
Of course.
But those were different days.
So Alex, he's heard that there's a new pope, and so of course he's gonna just start ranting.
alex jones
And now he's coming out all over with a major, giant, paid-for propaganda news blitz.
dan friesen
This is about Bill Gates.
This is not about the Pope.
jordan holmes
I was going to say, when did the Pope do that?
dan friesen
He's jumping around topics a little bit.
alex jones
Bill Gates is where, oh, Elon Musk and Trump are going to kill everybody.
They want to kill poor people.
They're billionaires killing the poor people.
That's who Bill Gates is.
All right, give me the Pope information.
Put it on screen, please.
Okay, so the smoke has come out.
Crowd celebrates the election of a new Pope, so soon we should...
Boy, I hope it's a more conservative traditionalist one and not one like Francis, the black Pope.
For those that don't know, that means a Jesuit Pope, which is under canon law illegal, because you can't have the guardians of the Church, the Society of Jesus, the secret police of the Catholic Church, what they were set up for by Loyola, be able to then manipulate things to put their people in, because then the, quote, guardians become people that take it over.
unidentified
And...
alex jones
In the democratization of the Cardinals electing the Pope, which has now happened.
So the question is, will the Jesuit, globalists, communist, anti-Christ Jesuits, because you say, is there an anti-Christ force in the Catholic Church?
jordan holmes
They're double Jesuits.
alex jones
Hillary's been asked many times, what is your thinking?
She goes, well, I'm not Catholic, but I am Jewitical.
I was trained by the Jesuits.
And so much of the neoliberalism crap you see as the Jesuits.
dan friesen
So this is all pretty stupid, and I've listened to enough old episodes of Alex's show to know that the Jesuit conspiracies, those were generally something that got brought up by callers, and Alex really wouldn't want to get into that too much.
Because I think it was coded in a particular way in conspiracy communities.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And Alex didn't want to get involved.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Much like Aliens and stuff.
Earlier in his career, like, nah, I'm not going to do this.
jordan holmes
I don't remember.
Maybe it's been too long since I've read Death of the Archbishop.
But, yeah, I don't recall a lot of that going on there.
It was just more like a missionary dude, just doing his thing.
dan friesen
Well, you have to read Between the Lines.
jordan holmes
I should have read Between the Lines.
He seemed like a pretty good dude, though.
dan friesen
So all this is just fair game now, I guess.
Like, you just do this fucking Jesuits or the Antichrist.
jordan holmes
How do you even do that?
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
And I liked The Order.
I thought that was a great movie for...
dan friesen
Heath Ledger movie?
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I like Catholic conspiracy movies.
Those are fun.
dan friesen
That was the one with the Sin Eater.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wasn't that fun?
dan friesen
It was great.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah, what about that one with Tom Hanks?
jordan holmes
That's what I'm saying.
The Da Vinci Code?
dan friesen
That's it.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I like seeing what Catholics have been up to, I guess.
Is that what we do?
dan friesen
Pretty amazing I could come up with Sin Eater, but not Da Vinci Code.
jordan holmes
Yeah, one of the most popular books at a time.
dan friesen
Yeah, especially of that genre.
jordan holmes
As opposed to an obscure Heath Ledger spiritual sequel to A Knight's Tale.
dan friesen
Yeah, I worked at a theater when it came out.
unidentified
That's fair.
dan friesen
I think I worked at a theater when Da Vinci Code came out too.
Anyway, there's other news that's going on.
And so Alex touches on some of that.
alex jones
Laura Loomer discovers that the new Surgeon General nominee by Trump is a globalist and doesn't even have a medical license currently.
She exposes it.
RFK's VP, Nicole Shanahan, exposes it.
They call Trump and he says, oh, I made a mistake.
Pulls it back.
We're doing that all the time.
And so, that's why Gates is so angry.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's why he's pissed off.
That's why he's doing this New York Times interview.
jordan holmes
That sounds right.
dan friesen
So, Trump initially had tried to nominate a former Fox News pundit to the position of Surgeon General, but then that nomination was withdrawn after the media started poking around and found out that she had lied about her credentials.
jordan holmes
Wow!
dan friesen
After that, Trump nominated someone named Casey Means to be Surgeon General, and this is the person who Laura Loomer has recently gone after.
Alex is mixing up his unqualified Surgeon General nominees because Means hasn't withdrawn her nomination.
That's still active.
Alex notably likes Casey Means.
I'm almost certain that he's talking about Means in that clip, though, because he said new nominee.
It's the second person.
the first nominee for liking vaccines.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
They've somewhat painted themselves into a corner where now it's almost impossible for them to come up with a legitimate doctor who passes the base's purity test Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Laura Loomer.
jordan holmes
They messed up, because normally what happens is you do the thing, and then once you win, you get to be like, and now we're gonna put all that behind us, and we're adults again, so we're gonna actually have real Surgeon Generals.
But they fucked up whenever they were just like...
All science is bad!
Oh boy.
dan friesen
And I'll kill you if you believe in vaccines.
jordan holmes
And I'll kill you if you believe in vaccines.
dan friesen
Because they're a bioweapon that's meant to kill my kids.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you know, sometimes, maybe, people don't think ahead whenever they make wild outlandish claims during a pandemic for years while everybody's trapped inside.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
People should think about that more.
jordan holmes
People really should.
dan friesen
So Alex is largely watching the feed, I think from Fox, of the people hanging out, waiting for the new pope to come out.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
Yeah, and if they get another globalist pope in, then they'll have a majority of their operatives in, and then you could officially say that the Catholic Church has been captured completely.
By the beast system.
That's my opinion.
I'm not trying to attack Catholics or anybody.
Catholics are great people on average.
Catholics I know are wonderful.
This is just...
I know they're the most concerned people about this.
This is just...
I mean, this is not as important as getting Trump elected, but almost.
I mean, it's a big deal.
jordan holmes
Is it?
alex jones
Half the Christians in the world are Catholics.
jordan holmes
So?
alex jones
And they've got institutions everywhere.
And you saw Catholic Charities, one of the worst so-called Catholic Charities running illegal aliens into the U.S., Europe, you name it.
dan friesen
Not using seatbelts.
jordan holmes
There it is.
alex jones
We need to understand this is important.
The suspense is really bad here.
And they always have him come out before the sun sets behind.
Was it the Basilica, they call it?
So there should be any men in here.
St. Peter's Basilica.
I don't care about some NFL overtime Super Bowl.
That doesn't matter.
I don't have any suspense watching a football game like that.
I have suspense here.
dan friesen
I have no idea why.
And this isn't great breaking news coverage.
I'll say that he lacks a little bit of...
Anything?
jordan holmes
How about who were the candidates?
dan friesen
Well, see, some of the Fox News people were talking about that.
And that's where Alex got the half of Christians are Catholics stat.
He just repeated that from the pundits on Fox News.
jordan holmes
That sounds right.
dan friesen
And so they talk a little bit about people who don't end up becoming Pope, but who are like frontrunners and people who thought, like, this is someone who might get it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But yeah, Alex doesn't know anybody.
jordan holmes
You should know if you want.
Like, I don't know any of the Cardinals.
Yeah.
Because, of course I don't.
And I didn't know who the Pope was going to be, because of course I don't.
And I don't care, right?
But if you're covering it, you should know at least two cardinals' names.
At least, right?
dan friesen
Especially if this is close to as important as Trump's election.
jordan holmes
Right?
unidentified
Yes.
jordan holmes
You should have some basis in anything.
dan friesen
You should look like you care.
jordan holmes
At the very least.
dan friesen
You should not be making weird noises and saying the suspense is killing you very unpersuasively.
jordan holmes
What is the Basilica?
Let's just get into it.
dan friesen
Who really knows?
jordan holmes
Who really knows?
dan friesen
Yeah.
So, Alex, he does know one thing about Catholicism, and that is that Pope Francis sucked.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
That dude was not even a Christian.
unidentified
Oh.
dan friesen
And then he has a great idea.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
I mean, you know, Francis saying to all these communists and leftist leaders, oh, they can have communion even though they're pro-abortion.
It's blasphemous.
unidentified
And...
alex jones
Pope Francis, in my opinion, was a blasphemous person.
I mean, that's really bad when you got somebody representing the biggest denomination of Christians who, in every way, is not a Christian.
By his actions.
But that's how Satan operates.
It captures control of things.
unidentified
Oh, boy.
Mmm.
alex jones
A lot of suspense here.
I should have thought to get him on today.
There's so much going on.
unidentified
Ohhhh.
alex jones
I'm actually sick to my stomach right now with the suspense.
dan friesen
Yeah, it shows.
It really feels like a person engaged.
jordan holmes
Now, maybe my doctrinal understanding is wrong, but I might suggest that for the right hand of God, his representative on earth, to be called not a Christian would be fairly blasphemous in and of itself.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Then to suggest that the devil could capture the Pope, i.e.
suggesting that God wasn't paying attention...
Or can't protect the Pope would also be pretty blasphemous.
dan friesen
Well, I think what it really comes down to is that Alex gets to decide who gets communion.
jordan holmes
I feel like that is what it comes down to a lot.
dan friesen
Alex will tell the Pope what's cool and what's not.
jordan holmes
It feels like maybe he should have a doctorate in canon law before he gets...
dan friesen
He's not even a Catholic!
jordan holmes
He's not even a Catholic!
dan friesen
Why does he care?
Why?
Why does he care who gets communion?
jordan holmes
Why does anybody care who's not a...
dan friesen
But, good instincts trying to get Leo Zagami on.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
That is a home run.
Great thinking.
Alex clearly has nothing to say about this whole Pope thing, and he knows nothing about any of the potential new guys.
So he needs a weirdo with an accent to do some heavy lifting.
I think that you can tell exactly how busy Leo is by whether he shows up and how quickly.
In theory, he's a huge Illuminati Vatican insider, so he should be super busy on the day that there's a new pope.
He should be unavailable.
You can't even get him on the phone.
jordan holmes
At the very least, he should be blowing up.
dan friesen
Yes.
He should be like, if he shows up, he should be like, Alex, I gotta go.
jordan holmes
I just wanted to let you know that I gotta go.
I'm very busy right now.
I'm sure that when I can, I'll get back to you.
dan friesen
I couldn't leave you hanging, but hey, I gotta go.
CNN's calling.
All of the big outlets want to do a hit.
jordan holmes
Or at the very least, I'm talking to my sources.
We're figuring everything out so I can get the full picture of the vote as it happened.
Something.
unidentified
Something.
dan friesen
We want to know who is on what side.
Yeah, he shows up very quick.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's unsurprising.
Unsurprising.
dan friesen
He is available.
jordan holmes
I am sitting at my computer waiting for your call, sir.
dan friesen
I'm watching the same stream as you.
So, Alex, I can't get Leo on immediately.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And so he decides to Google the people who might become Luke.
jordan holmes
Great.
dan friesen
And read off what he finds.
jordan holmes
Great.
alex jones
Petro.
Paralyn, is that how you say it?
From Italy, he's in the betting odds who they think it's going to be.
That's usually accurate.
jordan holmes
It's not.
alex jones
So let's look at him.
Here he is right here.
Pietro Parolin, that's how you say it, is a conservative, anti-same-sex marriage, anti-globalist, and they haven't had an Italian pope in a long time.
But it could also be this conservative Peter Turkson out of Africa, the conservative Gayon and Cardinal leading the African church, a top contender to become the next pope.
And so he's not a globalist.
He's got a good record, they say.
dan friesen
Oh, cool.
Alex does later say that he's just reading off chat GPT.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's okay.
dan friesen
So I think he just plugged in these names and is relying on AI to give him a breakdown of who these guys are.
Are they cool?
Are they globalists?
jordan holmes
Oh, God.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So the betting market is pretty much how he is trying to predict who's going to be a pope.
And that's wrong.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
All of the predictions.
This guy was a real...
Long odds kind of situation.
jordan holmes
The one thing I think I read about the new Pope was like, the betting odds have always been way wrong.
Like, it's never been the guy with the best betting odds.
dan friesen
I think that, I mean, I've only been alive for, you know, a small number of Popes.
But I do feel like every time it's been like, ha, how about that?
jordan holmes
How about that guy?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That was out of left field.
dan friesen
Yeah.
I've never been prepared for the Pope.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I think they like to, I think, you know, Cardinals like to keep everybody on their toes.
You never know what we're going to do.
When you think we're going to zig, that's when we zag.
dan friesen
They're showmen.
jordan holmes
Yep.
Yep.
dan friesen
I mean, obviously, they bring him out in the fucking balcony.
jordan holmes
They wear all red, gigantic robes with big hats, and then they bring a guy out in white with an even bigger hat.
Yes, they're showmen.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
I can respect that.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, the announcement is made, and Alex is like, fuck, I gotta find out if this guy's a conservative.
alex jones
Fuck!
unidentified
And so, as we said before, you know, you saw all the flags and everything out in the square, and now all the Americans are holding their flags.
alex jones
Alright, well, it wasn't the Italian, and I'm not an expert on this.
We're trying to find out, is this guy a conservative?
Let's go back to the feed.
unidentified
The continuation of the evangelization mission of the church.
The priority, yeah.
So you can see still the little pockets of red where all the cardinals are standing on the balconies.
dan friesen
Alex is just basically like, someone tell me.
What direction are we pointing?
jordan holmes
Good pope, bad pope.
What are we doing?
dan friesen
I don't fucking know who this guy is.
jordan holmes
What are we doing?
Are we going to be mean to the pope or are we going to be nice to the pope?
You have to tell me.
dan friesen
Yeah.
I have to listen to this Fox News feed and tell you at least give me a general direction to go in.
And so he does more Googling.
Sure.
And he figures out, uh-oh, this guy hates women, which is good.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But he also kind of sucks.
Maybe he's a globalist.
jordan holmes
Uh-oh.
alex jones
All right, here's the bottom line.
Pope Leo.
Pope Leo XIV, an American cardinal from Chicago.
Is a Pope Francis light.
So, he doesn't think they need to have women priests, so they call that conservative.
That's just standard.
But he's for open borders and all the rest of it.
So...
That is not good.
That's not good.
jordan holmes
Do you think God...
Doesn't transcend borders.
dan friesen
Yeah, I mean, Alex does think there's something divine about borders.
jordan holmes
Right?
dan friesen
Except not.
Just America's borders.
jordan holmes
I feel like he thinks God is a little weak.
I think his God is weak as shit.
That's all I'm saying.
dan friesen
Well, I don't think that you could be Alex and not think that God has some nationalist streak.
jordan holmes
That is fair.
dan friesen
You know?
jordan holmes
That is fair.
dan friesen
You have to respect the arbitrary decisions and lines that we've made.
alex jones
Right?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
At what point in time does God go like, oh, well, yeah, obviously the river's a good border.
Why else would I put it there?
Stay on your side.
unidentified
What?
dan friesen
So Alex needs to find out about this pope.
And quick.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
And so he's like, fuck Catholics, Catholics, Catholics, Catholics, Catholics.
Mel Gibson.
I'll call Mel Gibson.
jordan holmes
No!
dan friesen
He doesn't, but he thinks about it.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
We can open the phones up in the fourth hour if Catholics know more about this than I do.
I mean, I know quite a bit, but not as much as traditional Catholics out there I know that are really up on all this.
Hey, let's see what Mel Gibson thinks.
I wonder if he said anything yet.
I know he's really on top of everything.
So is his son.
So we will...
I guess I could call them, try to find what they think.
But Robert Francis Prevost, born September 14, 55, is an American Catholic.
He has been the...
Prefect of the Diocastria Bishops and President of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America.
He was the bishop in Peru in 2015-2023.
He has made a cardinal in 2023 by Pope Francis.
He was born in Chicago, Illinois.
All right.
Well.
His eyes don't look evil.
jordan holmes
What?
alex jones
Francis.
I mean, Francis looks evil to me.
I mean, not just the action.
He looks like an evil dick.
jordan holmes
Oh, he's dead.
alex jones
You have to go with your gut, too.
So he doesn't look evil.
Now, those aren't really evil eyes, are they now?
unidentified
A little bit.
Mm-hmm.
jordan holmes
What are we doing here?
alex jones
Well, we're gonna have to see the actions.
dan friesen
Yeah, killing it with the analysis.
The eyes.
I like that he's like, I know Mel Gibson.
I could call Mel Gibson.
I'm not gonna do that.
I'm gonna just read from ChatGPT and then start rambling about eyes.
jordan holmes
I mean, to be a person who is confident enough to just be like...
Eh, you can tell the Pope is evil because of his eyes.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
But this Pope's eyes are ambiguous.
dan friesen
Not sufficiently evil to notice immediately.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, right.
dan friesen
But maybe evil.
jordan holmes
Which should call into question your previous assumption about eyes, right?
If you can't immediately tell all evil or good through eyes, maybe you were wrong about the previous eyes.
dan friesen
Yeah, maybe.
Or maybe some people's eyes are just fucking evil.
jordan holmes
I mean, you know what?
Hey, what do I know?
dan friesen
And then there's a little bit of a middle ground.
You know, some things are hot.
And then some things are warm.
jordan holmes
Okay, so then let me ask you this question.
The devil's captured the papacy.
Francis is in there.
And then Francis dies.
Did the devil, like, lose the papacy?
dan friesen
No, no.
Because Alex is...
The way the ball seems to be breaking is this is a Francis light.
jordan holmes
Right.
Which means demon pope.
dan friesen
Right.
Well, Alex already said earlier that if they don't get a conservative in, then the Catholic Church has basically taken over.
jordan holmes
Basically been taken over by the devil.
That's fair.
dan friesen
So now that that news has happened, he must think, oh shit, the Catholic Church is gone.
jordan holmes
Right.
And now half of all Christians are actually devil worshippers.
dan friesen
That is tough.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Now what do we do?
dan friesen
Complain about Bill Gates?
jordan holmes
That makes sense to me too.
dan friesen
That's safe harbor.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
alex jones
When that's exactly what his stated goal and aim is, that he's given himself awards at their foundation that's really named the Global Population Control Foundation.
jordan holmes
Why would you name it that?
alex jones
Bill Gates accused Elon Musk of killing children with U.S. aid cuts.
Gates nukes Musk, world's richest, killing poorest.
Close quote.
Oh, yeah, it's not Bill Gates killing people and saying he wants to.
It's all Elon Musk's fault.
The picture of the world's richest man killing the world's poorest children is not a pretty one, said Gates, who told the Times that he loved for him, Musk, to go in and meet the children.
They have now been infected with HIV because he cut American aid that had been going to hospitals in Mozambique.
Why are the children getting HIV?
They're putting up the shots.
They've been caught.
Pull up.
Reuters.
Majority of global polio cases from the UN's polio vaccine program, and Bill and Melinda Gates program, run that.
Reuters, AP.
dan friesen
It should be really embarrassing for Alex to put on this kind of display.
He has so much nothing here that he has to pull out that polio article again while trying to pretend that children in these countries are getting HIV from vaccines.
This isn't a person with any grasp on the material he's presenting, and it's just way too obvious that this is about Musk.
jordan holmes
Yeah, this is pathetic.
dan friesen
I'll just cut through some of the bullshit and explain the game that Alex is playing here.
Bill Gates came out and made a very good point, which is that the actions that Trump and Musk are taking in terms of slashing public health funding around the world are going to have serious repercussions, many of which will lead to increased death, particularly of women and children in poorer countries.
Another possible consequence of this is being completely unprepared for a new pandemic that could emerge, which would also lead to a ton of death.
Alex knows that this is possible, and if or when that happens, Trump and Musk are going to get blamed for it.
It's all fun and games to support Doge when it's all memes and Musk's got his chainsaw, but when the impact of these cuts start happening, Alex is worried that they're gonna lose a ton of the normies.
We're gonna see a lot of the...
Actual consequences.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I'd be pretty shocked.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
These aren't supposed to have effects.
dan friesen
Yeah, no.
It's just fun.
jordan holmes
It's supposed to be, you know, being men.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So he's coming up with this storyline that explains everything ahead of time.
If Alex can have an explanatory narrative in place, he may be able to take some of the heat off of Musk and the consequences of his actions when the time comes.
This is what the information war really comes down to for Alex.
Bill Gates is doing this interview to put out his storyline, which is that Musk's cuts have been very damaging and they'll lead to increased death.
Alex is responding to this by pushing his narrative, which is that Gates is gonna release a bioweapon to blame it on Musk Which is gonna lead to increased deaths These are both just explanations for why there's going to be more death But a very important difference is that one of them is based on bullshit memes and misinterpreted headlines.
So I think it's pretty clear who the sincere actor in the information war in this case is.
But that's what this whole coverage of Gates is about.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
If I stand up and I see a billionaire on my team, I think maybe I might be on the wrong team.
I don't know why you would run interference for one.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
That's crazy.
dan friesen
I think that you can, incidentally, be on the same side as a billionaire.
That's possible.
But if you're going out of your way to cheerlead for them...
Something's wrong.
jordan holmes
Yeah, if the billionaire is on my side, it's either because the billionaire came over to me or I'm sneaking in the bushes.
There's no like, oh, hey, you're going to be mean to this billionaire?
Yeah, I'm fine with that.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So we get Leo Zagami in.
And it did not take long.
He was not busy.
He shows up.
And a little refresher, we haven't seen Leo in a little bit.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
For those who have not heard all of our back catalog, Leo Zagami created a religion called Matrixism, where he was Neo.
He was the savior of this religion.
Then he got kind of tired of that and decided that he was Jesus.
jordan holmes
Yes, he did.
dan friesen
And that he had been accepted as Jesus by the Catholic Church.
jordan holmes
Secret Catholic Church.
dan friesen
Yes.
And then he did 9-11.
jordan holmes
He did do 9-11, which was a swing.
dan friesen
Him and Osama bin Laden were working together.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
And after 2010, he swore we would understand why he did it.
jordan holmes
He did!
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
It'll all make sense.
jordan holmes
Has yet to make sense.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And we're way past 2011.
dan friesen
So he was also, in real life, a DJ in Rome.
jordan holmes
Which makes more sense.
dan friesen
In the house scene.
And was known as a lunatic.
And now he has rebranded himself as an Illuminati Vatican insider who pretended to have done 9-11.
jordan holmes
And I respect that.
I think I've fallen into most of my jobs.
I didn't set out to become a hearing aid guy, and yet here or there I was.
I didn't set out to do a lot of the things that I've done in my career.
So I can understand just falling into the Vatican insider Illuminati game.
dan friesen
Yeah.
I don't begrudge it as an improv exercise.
Sure.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure.
dan friesen
I worry that he might believe some of his own shit at this point, but he's the guy you're going to get if there's a new pope, if you're Alex.
And here's where they begin.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
So Leo Zagami, we have the first American pope being brought in.
From my first glance, I'm an expert like you, he appears to be globalist Francis Light, at least on the surface, Light version of Francis, agreeing with most of it.
But they build Francis as a moderate.
Of course, you document that he's not.
But you are the Vatican expert of experts.
What is your take on this individual?
And were you expecting this, Leo Zagami?
And best-selling author, researcher, I should add.
Go ahead, Leo.
leo zagami
Thank you, Alex, for having me on.
This is, of course, a pivotal moment and a turning point in the history of the Catholic Church, following, of course, the teachings and what was already outlined by Pope Francis, who, just before he went into hospital, was working with the U.S. Bishop Conference on yet again waging war against the Trump presidency.
This is a sign by the cardinals that rather than choosing somebody from Asia or from Africa, they wanted to actually insidiously nominate and elevate to the pontificate somebody who is American.
It's the first time in history, but Robert Francis Prevost is no friend of Donald J. Trump.
dan friesen
Oh, man.
This is bad for Trump.
jordan holmes
Okay.
leo zagami
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's interesting.
That is an interesting kind of conception of the choosing of a pope is like, oh yeah, we'll get an American pope so it'll be more reasonable when he says Trump sucks?
dan friesen
No, I took it more along the lines of like, they're trying to sucker Trump into thinking that it's an American, an America first pope.
jordan holmes
Oh, they're trying to trick Trump.
dan friesen
Trump is notoriously stupid.
jordan holmes
There is that.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
There is that.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
It's not a bad process.
dan friesen
Yeah, I mean, people chant USA for just about anything.
jordan holmes
Just about anything.
dan friesen
I think that, yeah, maybe that's what Leo's expressing, that they're hoping.
jordan holmes
Okay, I can see that.
unidentified
But don't be fooled.
dan friesen
Don't be fooled.
jordan holmes
What a strange thing to do when choosing a pope, but okay.
dan friesen
Yeah.
This is a level of everything is about Trump, like, that it's beyond parody.
I think a lot of people in Alex's sort of area, they talk about Trump derangement syndrome.
And I can't imagine anything being a better example of that than being like, the election of the Pope is about my online politics.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
Yep.
So Pope Francis rigged the election.
Of the popes.
jordan holmes
I'm sorry?
When?
steve kirsch
After?
dan friesen
Before he died.
jordan holmes
Before he died.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Are we sure?
dan friesen
Yeah, he worked it all out in order for this pope to carry on his work, which is finishing Vatican II.
jordan holmes
Okay.
leo zagami
It's not a great thing.
And I have outlined in my new book that just came out how Pope Francis has rigged this conclave which nominated his successor so he could have, of course, 80% of the cardinals on his side and nominate somebody who will follow in the policies of Vatican II.
Those policies that Pope Francis said were only completed by 50%.
There's another 50% that will, of course, not only...
We'll only destroy the remains of Christianity, but then eventually will bring us to the integration with other religions, because now the next thing this pope will do will step down from his role of...
Pope and rather be perceived as a bishop amongst bishops to favor the unification of all Christian churches.
unidentified
What?
leo zagami
It's going to be a war against Trump waged by the church every day.
dan friesen
See, Trump is going to save the church.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
From the church.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
Yeah, see, the church...
Is going to try and become too much church.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
They're all going to unite as one church.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And Trump is going to stand against that.
jordan holmes
Boy.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
jordan holmes
I just don't understand.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
I just don't understand.
Like, ultimately, like, even when I'm trying to get into the brain of somebody who might believe some of this stuff.
What?
dan friesen
Yeah.
unidentified
What?
dan friesen
It's tough.
It's tough.
The whole thing about the conclave and all this stuff is ceremony.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, all of it is so much tradition and all this stuff.
jordan holmes
It goes way back before there even was an America.
dan friesen
Yeah, there's no way that he's going to be like, hey, there's no popes anymore.
I'm a bishop among bishops.
What?
jordan holmes
What are we doing?
dan friesen
That undoes the point of the pageantry.
jordan holmes
And even then, okay, so this is all about Trump.
Fine, I guess.
Because that's just who you guys are now, is just little masturbatory Trump things.
Okay, so the Catholic Church is going to wage war on him.
What does that even look like?
dan friesen
Trying to unite all of the Christian churches as one.
jordan holmes
Okay, what does that mean?
dan friesen
Well...
You know, hey, if you're a Baptist, you can come to Catholic Church.
jordan holmes
Right, or Catholics can go to all borders or borderless churches now, right?
dan friesen
I've got a terrifying bit of reality for these people.
Anyone can go to any church they want.
jordan holmes
At any time!
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You don't even have to agree!
dan friesen
There's not a blood test for if you're a Catholic.
jordan holmes
Honestly, most churches like to have you in there.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
As long as you're not disruptive, you're fine.
You're fine!
Yeah, I don't know.
I think, obviously the New World Order kind of stuff has the one world religion piece of it.
And so that's what he's signaling to.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But I don't see this as being very feasible.
I don't think it's realistic under this pope.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I don't understand the, like, part of faith has always been my understanding of it, is that I don't know what is going to happen.
Right?
But my faith says that because God is in control of stuff, even though I may disagree with what this Pope has said in the past, he is the Pope.
So I have to have faith that he is going to do what he's going to do.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
And if what he does is something I don't agree with, I have to have faith that that is what is important to have happened.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah, that's where the...
Vatican II of it all comes into it.
Leo doesn't really believe that the popes since the 60s have been real popes.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
They've not been real popes.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Which is like, just stop being Catholic then.
dan friesen
He can't.
jordan holmes
Because he's...
dan friesen
It's in his blood.
jordan holmes
Brutal.
dan friesen
And they don't blood test you for Catholicism.
They really don't.
jordan holmes
They don't.
They should.
dan friesen
He does say a couple times how he refuses to leave the church because it's in him.
unidentified
Fine.
dan friesen
He also brings up his new book a lot.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that sounds right.
dan friesen
Good timing, Leo.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it is a really good time to have written a book about the Pope.
dan friesen
Yeah.
A twelfth of Confessions of the Illuminati.
jordan holmes
One for each Illuminati.
It makes sense to me.
dan friesen
Probably way too many pages to try and fill.
So Alex is like, hey, you know what would be great?
I got another guest coming in.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Talk about Bill Gates and stuff.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Can you come back later?
I've almost, I don't think I've ever heard him do this to a guest.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, I gotta talk to this other guy.
But I do really want to talk to you.
The Pope just, we've got a new Pope.
I would love you to come back.
jordan holmes
Just to be clear, what I'm trying to say is...
dan friesen
You're not going anywhere.
jordan holmes
You're not going anywhere.
dan friesen
And this other guy might have paid for the time.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
So, can you come back later and take Catholic calls with me?
alex jones
I've got to go to break, but could you come on at like 2.15 Central so we can take some calls?
And then you could respond to the Catholics because you obviously know, like, they do a lot more than I do?
leo zagami
Absolutely.
I mean, and like you said, my new book also explains why the Luciferian court made up of Illuminati, pre-Mason think tanks from the...
unidentified
Hold on, stay there.
alex jones
I've got to go to break.
Do five more minutes with us.
Steve Kirsch is coming on to respond to all this Bill Gates stuff and some new shocking studies confirming the mass death from the shots.
But stay right there.
We're going to break in a minute.
We'll come back to you for five minutes to talk about the book.
Then we'll have you back on in the fourth hour, and we're going to go right to your calls.
So Zagami is going to be here to respond to you and answer any of your questions.
You may disagree with him, you may agree, but Zagami knows his stuff.
We'll stay there, Leo.
We're going to break.
Oh, worse than Francis.
I'll take his word for it.
That is bad.
But is it just because it's the progression of their takeover, or is it because he himself is worse?
This is just stunning.
And then we're supposed to celebrate just because he's an American.
jordan holmes
Are we?
alex jones
Let me say something about the war on Catholics by the Democrats?
Conservative Catholics?
We're going to go to break.
We'll be right back with Leo Zagami for five more minutes and then our special guest joining us.
Please remember, we had a huge sale on methylene blue, even though it's flying off the shelves.
dan friesen
Don't you dare bring up your book.
I'm going to plug.
You think you're going to bring up your book?
I'm going to plug this methylene blue.
jordan holmes
You didn't buy for this.
You didn't spend for this time.
All right.
All right.
dan friesen
Now, granted, you did show up on short notice.
jordan holmes
There is that.
dan friesen
And I'll give you a little plug on my time.
jordan holmes
A little kickback.
dan friesen
Yeah, when I choose.
But yeah, Alex has Steve Kirsch come in and his gold guy.
So I think that that was like a block of time that he couldn't move around.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So you got to get Leo back on later in the show.
So we got that to look forward to.
jordan holmes
Yep.
You would have to think that...
God.
Fucking God.
Of the universe God.
Is interested in the United States electoral politics when choosing a pope.
Right?
dan friesen
No.
Well, maybe, but not necessarily, because the Vatican II.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
The devil is interested in American politics.
But maybe not God.
jordan holmes
The devil of the universe.
Of existing for all time fame.
dan friesen
Keenly interested in Trump's polling numbers.
jordan holmes
Man!
They're not even president for that long!
dan friesen
Nope.
jordan holmes
In terms of existence.
dan friesen
Well, a day to God is a thousand years.
jordan holmes
Jesus Christ.
And a thousand years is like a day.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
What you gonna do?
dan friesen
So I'll tell you what, listening to this next guest, it was like a thousand fucking years.
unidentified
Nice.
dan friesen
I hate this dude.
Steve Kirsch.
jordan holmes
Steve Kirsch.
dan friesen
He's the anti-vax guy who's got a sub stack and he writes a bunch of dumb shit.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Apparently he's uncovered a new study that is big news.
unidentified
Sure.
alex jones
It's just incredible, not just the insurance actuaries that have been out for years and all the other numbers and global life expectancy dropping, particularly where the shots are rolled out or the government.
Databases that have come out proving all of it from New Zealand to the United States.
And then now all the big developments with RFK Jr. overall doing a lot of really good things, but also big pushes to roll out more COVID shots that he's trying to block by making him actually study it.
But this new study by a very respected MIT scientist is out.
Pfizer recipients face 37% higher risk of death than Moderna recipients.
Well, we'd always heard that...
Moderna was stronger in the same thing as the Pfizer.
Very interesting.
Study of 1.47 million Florida adults by MIT scientists and surgeon general finds significantly higher all-cause cardiovascular and COVID-19 mortality after Pfizer vaccinations.
So this is the surgeon general of Florida with all the government resources coming out with this.
dan friesen
So this is a non-peer-reviewed study published by a professor from MIT and Ron DeSantis' Surgeon General in Florida.
jordan holmes
Seems nice.
dan friesen
The headline might lead you to believe that this shows some kind of super high death toll among people who got vaccinated, but it really just shows that people who got the Pfizer vaccine had a higher incidence of mortality from all causes in the following 12 months after their second vaccination than people who got the Moderna shot.
You literally can't tell anything else from this data.
You have no data in that set for people who didn't get vaccinated.
So it could very well be that both the Pfizer and Moderna recipients had lower all-cause mortality rates than non-vaccinated people.
We just have no idea.
jordan holmes
Because it's not in the study.
dan friesen
Yeah.
From this study, the all-cause mortality rates were about 847 per 100,000 in the Pfizer group and 618 in the Moderna group.
In 2021, the all-cause mortality rate for everyone in Florida was 829.6 per 100,000, and even after COVID slowed down, it was still 738.4 in 2023.
These numbers really don't seem all that out of sync with the general population, and the Moderna number is actually a bit lower.
But even what I'm saying doesn't really mean anything.
I only bring up those numbers to illustrate that these rates aren't really higher than you'd expect.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And you don't have any of that context from the study or these headlines on Steve Kirsch's dumb sub stack.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Also, this doesn't work for Alex.
Or, I mean, in real, if you think for five seconds, it works even less for him.
Because if it's all about killing people, then there should be no difference in efficacy.
What does efficacy matter between Moderna and Pfizer if the goal...
dan friesen
Little ingredients.
jordan holmes
Right?
What does that mean?
dan friesen
Well, the globalists want to learn.
You know, so they're testing shit out.
jordan holmes
But that's what I'm saying.
So it suggests that there is some sort of competitive element or some sort of experimental element that each of these are doing independent of each other, which wouldn't make sense if it was everybody trying to murder you.
dan friesen
Well, I think that we haven't quite figured out poison.
You know?
jordan holmes
You may be right.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
It's not in this MIT study how many of those people were poisoned by vaccines.
dan friesen
So you might look at these numbers that are in this study and think that this at least proves that the Pfizer vaccine is more dangerous than the Moderna one, but it doesn't really show that either.
There are far too many possible confounding variables in terms of who got which vaccine.
Like, if one of them was released before the other, and obviously higher risk populations would have had priority of who got the shot, and maybe that would have skewed the data towards more of them dying.
There's a whole lot of possibilities.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, this is a meaningless study.
dan friesen
Yes.
This is a little messy for Alex, though, because as he mentioned in that clip, he's been saying that the Moderna shot is more dangerous for a while, and this flies right in the face of that, so it's counterproductive for him.
Right!
jordan holmes
None of this means anything, though!
dan friesen
Nope.
But Steve Kirsch, you know, maybe paid for his time or didn't, so we gotta get through it.
jordan holmes
Gotta get it.
steve kirsch
You know, they looked at seven different parameters to match the groups.
And so what they did is they said, you know, the people in Florida, there are a bunch of people in Florida who got the shots.
Let's take one and a half million of those people and try to match them together.
Let's match 750,000 with 750,000 who took, you know, Pfizer 750,000 versus Moderna 750,000.
And let's try to match them down to...
Ideally, they live on the same block that they got Pfizer or Moderna in the same week at the same vaccination center.
Basically, they try to make everything look the same in terms of matching these cohorts.
And to some extent, these cohorts are matched better than what you would get in a randomized trial.
dan friesen
Huh.
Why don't you always do that then?
So the researchers did try to match people up based on these seven variables and include things like age group and sex in order to try to eliminate confounding variables.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
They didn't consider comorbidities, though.
They literally say in the study, quote, But you just said that it could.
So maybe it did.
jordan holmes
It doesn't appear to.
But it could.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Means even less to me.
dan friesen
And it also seems pretty relevant.
Pretty fucking relevant.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
They also say that, quote, it is possible that the finding may not generalize to segments of the excluded population, and that, quote, some of the health outcomes, such as COVID-19 deaths and cardiovascular deaths, could be subject to misclassification due to errors on death certificates.
So who really knows, honestly.
jordan holmes
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
dan friesen
There's not enough to go on here, which is why it's a pre-print, non-peer-reviewed study.
And Steve is overselling this.
He's right on brand for his sub-stack COVID grifter shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So here we are.
jordan holmes
This is the Surgeon General, and this is made for propaganda.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
This is a propaganda thing.
dan friesen
Yeah, and Steve actually even says that he was responsible for getting made.
Because he put a little thought in the Surgeon General's mind.
He suggested something about looking at these death numbers.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We could exploit that.
We can fake shit about that.
dan friesen
Can we work on something like that?
Maybe you create that, and then I'll write a Substack article about it and go on Alex's show.
jordan holmes
I do think...
I think that now we should be...
Like, okay.
That, it is...
It's still going on.
We're still getting a flood of this, like, vaccines are going to kill you kind of thing.
It has to be constant.
It's because if you don't get it for even a second, you're like, yeah, vaccines are obviously better than not vaccines.
For all the bad stuff that they are, like, just pure numbers-wise, it would be absurd to suggest that vaccines are bad.
dan friesen
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You have to have a constant drumbeat of that.
unidentified
Otherwise...
dan friesen
Yeah, you have to have someone who's constantly making you forget about how much less polio there is.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, it's so obviously that vaccines are better.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
I mean, it's just not...
I'm sure there are bad vaccines.
No, and if you want to tell me about all the bad things that have happened, like there's this contaminated vaccine for all that stuff, and I'm like, yes, totally, we gotta fix that.
But seriously!
dan friesen
Yeah.
And it's depressing.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Because none of this shit holds up to scrutiny for even the shortest amount of time.
Nope.
And you have people like Steve who are just saying this dumb shit.
steve kirsch
Now, what's important to realize, and it's not brought out in the paper, is that vaccines in general, there has not been a vaccine that has ever reduced your non-disease all-cause mortality.
In other words, vaccines aren't designed to make you live longer.
The vaccines are only designed to take whatever risk you have from a particular disease and bring it down to ID.
ideally zero for that disease.
It's not designed to increase your lifespan.
So that means- We can assume that Moderna isn't increasing your lifespan.
unidentified
What?
steve kirsch
I don't know anybody takes Moderna and is living longer.
So let's give Moderna the benefit of the doubt.
unidentified
What?
steve kirsch
And let's say that Moderna doesn't increase your all-cause mortality at all.
In other words, Moderna's perfectly safe.
alex jones
Well, let me make this point.
You're the scientist, but I'm a layperson.
The reason Kennedy wants to bring placebo back that they've gotten rid of overall is because if they...
Did this roll out and then had actually given, say, a third of the people a placebo, we would have the real floor, but now we don't know with the Moderna under the Pfizer because there's nothing to gauge it by with a placebo.
steve kirsch
That is exactly right.
I'm going to give you an honorary degree to be a scientist from that.
That is exactly right.
dan friesen
Ooh, Alex, I'll give you a little pat on the head.
Aren't you a big smart boy?
You have a placebo group if you want.
It's the unvaccinated population, and Steve and Alex are welcome to use that as their baseline if they want.
Go ahead, ding-dongs.
jordan holmes
I mean...
dan friesen
It's deeply unethical to pretend to give someone a treatment in the midst of a pandemic, so this kind of placebo study should never be done.
No, I mean, this is, this is like...
jordan holmes
I don't know how it's still around, but whatever explanation you have is equal in making sense to what it was to burn a witch.
Like, same thing.
They float.
Fine.
That's the same quality of thinking as vaccines don't make you live longer, dum-dum.
They just eradicate a disease like a good person would do.
What?
dan friesen
Yeah, they don't extend your life.
jordan holmes
Ah, but I didn't ask them to.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And also, even if we accept the premises of the argument, it still doesn't mean that Pfizer shortened your life that much.
jordan holmes
That doesn't make any sense.
dan friesen
No.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
This is just someone who's not thinking that great.
jordan holmes
It's not life extension, and therefore it is life de-extension.
dan friesen
Right.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I hate him.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
And he sucks, and so I'm not going to talk about him more past this study.
Alex has his gold guy on, which is definitely broker content.
jordan holmes
Very ethical.
dan friesen
It's almost 100% spawn caught.
Yeah.
But then, the weirdo, Leo Zagami, comes back.
unidentified
Hey!
dan friesen
And he's talking about how this is all just about the memes.
jordan holmes
Oh, wait, what?
dan friesen
Trump and his memes.
jordan holmes
Oh, God.
alex jones
So they knew Francis was about to die.
They accelerated him into Cardinal and just brought him right in.
leo zagami
Yes, because this is really about challenging Donald J. Trump.
And that's why Trump, prior to this, did that meme, which looked like a joke, but in reality was a clear message to a conclave, which, of course, with 80% of progressives, was about to elect somebody else that will bring the church closer and closer to communist China.
Because, of course...
This pope is also a supporter of the Vatican-China deal.
alex jones
Wow.
dan friesen
Wow, indeed.
jordan holmes
Wow.
dan friesen
Yeah, so Trump put out that meme of himself as the pope.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
And the conclave took notice.
jordan holmes
Of course they did.
dan friesen
Of this.
And they were like, oh, shit.
This is fun.
It's a fun way to look at it.
jordan holmes
I guess.
I guess.
I mean, it's more fun than just like, oh, a bunch of these old dudes voted for a guy.
I mean, yeah, that is better.
I get it.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And actually, I kind of...
I mean, I obviously don't hope that Leo's right, but I think it would be kind of funny if what he thinks is coming is coming.
leo zagami
And there will be those forces, those conservative forces within the Catholic Church that will suggest a schism.
And, of course, if we are no longer, it's no longer possible to relate to a pope like this and to a church that, for the last 12 years, has seen empty churches, empty seminaries.
It's a little bit like the woke military that Hexet took on.
Now it's being repopulated, but during the presidency of Job...
Biden was going the other way.
So this church is going further into wokeism.
I don't think that we will find any solution.
I mean, in April 2025, this present pope retweeted a post highlighting the thought of auxiliary bishop Evelio Meviar.
For the condemnation of the deportation of a U.S. resident questioning, and he said this, and I quote him, Do you not see the suffering?
Is your conscience not disturbed?
How can you stay quiet?
So this means that people like Tom Oman, who is a friend and who is a Catholic, will of course be attacked and will find themselves in a very awkward position, as well as those hundred priests that went to Mar-a-Lago, those traditional priests.
It's about time.
To really think about the future of us as Catholics and see if it's maybe the time for a schism that will lead us away from this heresy which has now become the Church of Rome.
dan friesen
What if Leo Zagami leads a schism in the Church?
What if this becomes a defining moment in Catholic history?
jordan holmes
I wonder if...
dan friesen
Trump destroys the Catholic Church?
jordan holmes
I mean...
If Luther's theses were actually just, like, memes, I guess that would be similar, you know?
dan friesen
It's a retweet.
jordan holmes
Yeah, the Pope retweeted something.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, the Pope are, you know, it's not like it's new that the Pope had a Twitter account.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
That's not new, but it does feel different when it's scrutinizing pre-Pope tweets.
Like, I don't know what Francis was tweeting before.
He became Pope.
jordan holmes
I don't...
Like, y 'all, isn't God supposed to be in charge of this whole Pope thing?
I feel like it's very much like a bunch of dudes now.
We're not even giving lip service to, like, it's God's Pope.
Now it's just like, hey, maybe it's time for us to get rid of the woke half of the Catholic Church?
Is that what I understand correctly?
dan friesen
Well, this is the Vatican II of it all.
jordan holmes
It's time for Vatican III.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
The return of Curly's Gold.
dan friesen
And we got Mel Gibson.
We got Alex Jones, who's not even a Catholic.
We got Leo Zagami.
jordan holmes
Yep, yep.
dan friesen
It's gonna be a party.
jordan holmes
The Zagamian church is, uh, yeah, I could see that.
Why not?
Let's do it.
dan friesen
It's Matrixism.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's finally here.
jordan holmes
It's time for us to get rid of the woke Catholicism and move on to Matrixism.
dan friesen
Where Leo is Neo.
So we have one last clip, and it's from one of the calls.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Most of the calls are just people who are like...
Oh my God, the Catholic Church is evil.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Whatever.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
The Masons.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that makes sense.
dan friesen
But there's one guy who I think made a point that Leo Zagami does not enjoy.
jordan holmes
Oh.
alex jones
Let's go to Jake in Ohio.
You're on the air.
Go ahead.
jake in ohio
Yeah, so I had an African priest that was from Ghana, and he tried to tell me that he did not know about Lalibella in Axum, in Ethiopia.
I'm 44. I've known about since I was 15. So that sent me down this, you know, just...
My BS detector went off.
So this is why I think he chose the name Leo.
And this is about something called Yaldabaoth.
And Yaldabaoth means little boy, come here.
What she produced came to be something material like an aborted fetus.
It took shape from the shadow and it became an arrogant beast, something resembling a lion.
So that dude is just...
leo zagami
Yeah, well, I mean, I can't not say that you are right.
dan friesen
My name is also Leo.
jordan holmes
My name is Leo.
I am Leo.
So I'm not going to say that everybody named Leo is an aborted fetus that has been turned into a shadow of a lion.
dan friesen
I'm not really going to go along with you on this Leo being a demonic name thing.
Speaking as a Leo.
jordan holmes
That's just poor improv.
You gotta yes and that and double up.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You don't even want to know what it means backwards, mother...
dan friesen
Oh, God.
That's just great.
I think that there's a moment of, like, I want to humor these callers with their nonsense, but there's a line.
jordan holmes
I...
You know...
dan friesen
My own name.
That's the line.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I think there is something incredibly unacceptable about the need for some people to suddenly be experts on bullshit.
Like, the idea of suddenly being like...
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've known this guy from way back.
What?
Fuck you.
You have not known this cardinal who's only been a cardinal since 2023 who is a fucking Peruvian guy for whatever length of time in South America.
You don't know shit about this guy.
Don't act like you're an expert on this guy just because he's the Pope today.
dan friesen
Fuck you.
I say that about the callers.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I say that about Alex.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I do not say that about Leo Zagami.
jordan holmes
That's true.
He knew that guy.
dan friesen
I just...
I know he doesn't.
But it's more fun to live in the world where he knew all about this fucking guy before Alex called.
It's the same thing we were talking about with liking to imagine Bill Cooper with a typewriter and a cigarette.
I like to imagine he's studying the fucking Cardinals.
All of them.
He knows all their connections.
jordan holmes
No, I want him to be like an NFL draft guy who's like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've been watching this guy in fucking Ole Miss.
And you're like, well...
Obviously, I don't know anything about Ole Miss.
I live in Illinois.
dan friesen
He's got fucking scouting reports on all of the bishops.
jordan holmes
Yeah, what's this guy's god above replacement cardinal?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, what's this gark?
dan friesen
I like to believe that.
I know it's not true, but that's a fiction that I'll allow to exist in my head.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Popermetrics.
Money Pope.
dan friesen
Yeah, money Pope.
jordan holmes
Yep, okay, gotcha.
dan friesen
So, yeah, we got a new Pope, and I think...
After experiencing this, I thought like, well, when the last Pope got in, Alex wasn't there.
He wasn't in studio.
And maybe that was for the better.
jordan holmes
Probably.
dan friesen
I don't think he had a whole lot to say other than he hates the Pope.
And we already knew that.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
If it was somebody who was more of a Mel Gibson's dad kind of Pope, Vatican II hating kind of guy, maybe he'd be into it.
But other than that...
jordan holmes
I guess whenever the other pope got in, everybody was very quick to be like, oh, this is liberal pope.
This is woke pope for sure.
dan friesen
Well, it was also like a really weird situation because Ratzinger had stepped down.
jordan holmes
He'd stepped down.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which popes can't do on account of the god thing.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And so that threw everything into a bit of chaos, whereas at least Francis died.
jordan holmes
Francis did have the courtesy to die.
dan friesen
If you believe the news.
jordan holmes
Like, shouldn't you think that...
Never mind.
Never mind.
No, no, no.
I'm not going to try and understand it, because now Catholicism is woke, which is something I never thought I was going to hear about.
dan friesen
Woke-tholicism.
jordan holmes
Woke-tholicism.
Never thought that was going to happen.
dan friesen
So, we will check in to see how Alex is going to build on the new Pope.
Now that the Catholic Church is gone, it has been taken over fully.
Yep.
Half of Christianity is...
jordan holmes
Devil-worshipping monsters.
It's time for Matrixism.
dan friesen
Shit is tough.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's tough out there.
dan friesen
So we'll see how he holds up, but until then, we have a website.
jordan holmes
Indeed we do.
It's knowledgefight.com.
dan friesen
Yep, we'll be back.
But until then, I'm Neo.
I'm Leo.
I'm DZX Clark.
unidentified
That's...
dan friesen
Neo, Leo?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
That's our guy.
Yeah.
I'm the Mysterious Professor.
jordan holmes
Woo, yeah!
And now here comes the sex robot.
alex jones
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
unidentified
Hello, Alex.
jordan holmes
I'm a first-time caller.
unidentified
I'm a huge fan.
