dan friesen
Hey everybody.
Welcome back to another tribe.
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, quick question for you.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
jordan holmes
What's your bright spot today?
dan friesen
Why don't you go first?
jordan holmes
Uh, my bright spot is uh oh, I'll tell you what my bright spot is.
unidentified
Okay.
jordan holmes
My I was playing some tennis.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
And my racket broke.
dan friesen
Nice.
You hit it too hard.
jordan holmes
No, no, no, no.
It was bad.
It just one of the strings broke.
But here's what the bright spot about that is.
I was playing like dog shit.
unidentified
Okay.
jordan holmes
I was absolute garbage.
And then the string broken is like, ah!
No wonder I was playing so poorly.
dan friesen
Oh, I thought you were gonna say that it gave you an excuse to stop playing because you were so bad.
Oh no, racket's broken, can't play anymore.
jordan holmes
No, we got a replacement racket that worked.
I started playing a lot better.
Because it worked.
dan friesen
Okay.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
So I can, you know, you can just restring it.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You don't have to be like, I feel bad for being a bad person.
Sure.
dan friesen
Your bright spot is having an excuse.
jordan holmes
My bright spot is having something to fix that isn't my own self-esteem.
dan friesen
Okay.
See, I go the entirely opposite direction with this.
If I'm ever playing a sport and the equipment breaks, it's because I'm too good.
I hit it too hard.
jordan holmes
Too hard.
dan friesen
I I just the angle was too right.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And I just I broke it.
jordan holmes
See, the the problem there is that it's very easy to access people who can hit the ball significantly harder than me.
dan friesen
Right, but not exactly right.
jordan holmes
Ah, that's fair.
dan friesen
It's like the one-inch punch kind of thing.
You know, you gotta just that it yeah.
You uh your swing was look, anywa anyone could break a backboard with a slam dunk.
jordan holmes
Is that true?
dan friesen
In theory.
jordan holmes
Is this like a million monkeys with a million typewriters could break a backboard situation?
dan friesen
I am now setting out to break a backboard to prove this uh uh thesis.
jordan holmes
So I have to sabotage a backboard, is what you're saying.
dan friesen
I would appreciate it if you did medal with a backboard in advance of me trying to.
jordan holmes
Okay, okay, good.
Uh we'll not call it sabotage.
We'll call it rearranging.
dan friesen
I'm just saying that I think the glass half full version of this is that you were too good that you broke a racket.
jordan holmes
Fair enough.
I'll take it.
I'll take it.
I like that.
I like having a glass full.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
What's your bright spot?
dan friesen
Um, so I uh our friend, uh friend of the show and old buddy Daniel Scharr.
He's uh doing his uh not uh near sex for work one man show.
Yeah uh out in New York and uh uh East Hampton, Massachusetts.
Nice in uh early September.
And I wanted to uh give uh give a plug for that.
Tell people if they if they're in the area and they want tickets, they should uh go get them and go check out his fun one man show full of uh filth and heart.
jordan holmes
It's great.
It's really, really good.
I I highly recommend it.
dan friesen
Yeah, people can find tickets to that at uh Danielshar.com S-H-A-R.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Uh so I'd recommend uh if you want to have a nice time out with something a little a little bit uh uh off a little blue, but not that blue.
jordan holmes
I mean, in a in a way, it's the type of blue that is like Yeah, you could say that a clinical picture of a naked body is blue, but it's to to transform like sex into just a a an observational thing as opposed to being uh uh uh a turn-on thing or something like that.
You know, like you're an adult, you've seen that shit.
unidentified
Sure.
jordan holmes
Deal with it.
We all watch it.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
So anyway, that's uh going on check it out.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you should.
dan friesen
So uh today, Jordan, we have something less fun to check out.
That is an episode of Alex's show.
jordan holmes
Oh shit.
dan friesen
We're gonna be talking about August 11th, 2025.
All right, the day that Trump sent troops into DC.
jordan holmes
Right.
Right.
Martial law.
dan friesen
You one might think.
Well, hey, you know it looks looks like a duck.
jordan holmes
It Looks very martial law-e.
dan friesen
Quacks like a duck.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
That shit's not a duck.
Anyway, uh, we'll talk about Alex's response to this and how invalidating it is of everything.
jordan holmes
Everything's in the stand for.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Uh, but first, let's take a little moment to say hello to some new wonks.
jordan holmes
That's a great idea.
dan friesen
So uh first, think globalisty.
Act low-key.
Thank you so much, you're now Palsy Wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.

jordan holmes
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
Uh and these fucking serials are trying to be jacks of all trade, and it's just not working.
I'm not mad at the tiger.
We're going to rebroadcast.
Play one of the old Project Camelot episodes.
Thank you so much, you're now Balzi Wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
Uh, and we got a technocrat in the mix, so thank you so much to in uh episode 12 at the one hour 50 minute mark.
Dan swears that if they quote, get enough donations to this show where we can quit our jobs, I will legally change my name to Scat Man Dan.
Thank you so much.
You're an hour technocrat.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
unidentified
Four stars.
alex jones
Someone, someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop.
Daddy Shark.
Bom bom, bom, bom, bom.
Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black action.
unidentified
He's a loser, little little kitty baby.
alex jones
I don't want to hate black people.
I renounce Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
dan friesen
So that I mean, look.
This is this is fair.
I this has been pointed out to me a number of times.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And here's my here's my blanket response that I'm gonna give now.
I don't fuck with the government.
I'm not gonna legally change my.
I'm not gonna fill out these this paperwork.
unidentified
There is no law.
dan friesen
So I might want to try and make a compromise on this.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
Like maybe get a Scat Dan tattoo or something like that.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
But I don't want to go through the paperwork of legally changing my name.
But I do feel like no one was listening then.
jordan holmes
I mean, it's good to be reminded that we have and had humble dreams.
dan friesen
Back then, no one was listening.
jordan holmes
Nope.
dan friesen
There were like five listeners, maybe.
Um it was a comical idea that anyone would ever listen to this show.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Um, and so I did make that kind of a declaration.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
And I feel like I should follow through in some way.
But I'm not changing I'm not changing my name.
jordan holmes
Nah.
dan friesen
Not doing paperwork.
jordan holmes
Come on, man.
dan friesen
Uh tattoo, maybe.
jordan holmes
I yeah, no, I'd be we can you can change your name in spirit at at any point in time.
The problem is I don't know how to change your name legally.
Maybe you gotta get a new ID.
dan friesen
I could get a tattoo of the scat man.
Or just his mustache.
jordan holmes
I don't think you wanted that.
I could see I the mustache works.
dan friesen
I don't think you want uh a mustache and his hat.
jordan holmes
Like just uh Yeah, yeah, a nice little silhouette kind of thing.
Yeah, I like that.
dan friesen
We'll workshop something.
But uh yeah, consider this address.
jordan holmes
You are the Scat Man.
Yes, you are the Scat Man.
dan friesen
So, Jordan, um I wanted to uh do a little something different today.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Uh, but we're not going to.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
What I wanted to do was I noticed that around this time, at the beginning of August.
Yeah, Alex uh made good on one of his threats, which was that he was gonna start having more shows.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
He was gonna do more.
He's we're gonna go twenty-four hours.
alex jones
Wow.
dan friesen
He's not going twenty-four hours, but he's building up the roster of shows.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And so there's a new show that he's doing uh called Good Morning Info Wars.
jordan holmes
You are joking.
dan friesen
But it's not him who's hosting it.
It's someone named like Brianna Morello.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Who I think did a book about how attractive Melania is.
alex jones
Great.
dan friesen
I think she did like a picture book of give her a show.
Yeah.
I watched it and I I thought it was on unviewable.
There was no no Riz.
Right.
Uh, no juice, just nothing.
It was uh it was an awful, awful uh it didn't even have like a you hear the you hear good morning info wars.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's a Saturday morning show.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You're expecting someone maybe sitting around drinking a cup of coffee.
jordan holmes
Do a good morning America ripoff, yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's not that.
jordan holmes
Why?
dan friesen
It's just someone staring into a webcam and talking about all the same stuff that they talk about on InfoWars.
jordan holmes
Jesus Christ.
At the very least, get a cup of coffee and like a thing.
Like m all morning shows suck, but they suck in the right way.
Everybody likes it.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Comforting.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
They're like, it's breezy out.
jordan holmes
Oh, we've got exactly.
dan friesen
Ooh, we we're gonna have Kid Rock dropping by to give us a brisket recipe.
Of course you will.
jordan holmes
There's no reason for you not to have Kid Rock give you a brisket recipe.
dan friesen
Yeah, so I was hoping we would cover that, but instead, I'm just mentioning it and it's trash.
jordan holmes
That would be it would be so much more fun if you could force the the square pegs into the round holes, like her and Alex doing like uh they're sitting on the director's chairs thing, they're doing a whole thing.
dan friesen
But I say you even just don't don't involve Alex.
Just do this as uh you know how okay.
Someone explained to me that one of the things that Marvel could do but isn't doing as well as it could is just do genre.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
You know, like have uh one of your characters, this is a mystery movie.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
One of your characters, this is a uh shoot 'em up movie.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
You know, that you can fit those like all these Marvel superheroes into different types of film.
jordan holmes
Yeah, George Lucas fit Space Guys into a Kurosawa film.
It'll be fine.
dan friesen
Right.
But under the umbrella of Marvel, you could have every sort of movie uh covered in different tendrils.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And that's what InfoWars should do.
Like, this should be uh Good Morning America, but just also InfoWarsy.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Yeah.
I want to I just want to force one of these people to try and be Regis.
That's what I want.
Because there's been a gigantic Regis hole.
Uh we all know this.
We feel it in the ether sphere at all times.
Uh and and it's just like, what if the what what if Regis was also fucking crazy?
Ah, you gotta win.
dan friesen
What would you do?
James Woods maybe get James Woods to be uh Regis?
That would be fun on InfoWars.
jordan holmes
I don't know if he's animated enough.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
You know?
dan friesen
Yeah, that could be a problem.
jordan holmes
You gotta get somebody with more more uh in your face juice.
dan friesen
John Voigt.
I'm just trying to think who they got.
Kevin Sorbo.
jordan holmes
You're right.
There's a very low ability to bring out a Regis.
unidentified
Yeah.
alex jones
Yeek.
dan friesen
So um we start uh uh instead of covering that morning show.
Uh we're talking about the 11th, August 11th.
Okay.
And look, uh Trump has decided that he's covering up the Epstein stuff and the you know bombed Iran and clearly is just a real piece of shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Yeah.
dan friesen
Um but like you gotta kinda you gotta like him.
alex jones
I know it's fashionable to say that Trump's totally screwing over America and gone back on his promises and a total puppet of Israel on and on and on.
And certainly I've had some legitimate criticism of some of the directions he's taken, and I support everybody's right to free speech.
But I gotta tell you, if you actually look at what he's doing domestically and geopolitically.
It is spectacularly good for this country, and he is really going to bat.
For not just the American people, but the people of the world.
dan friesen
If you listen to Alex's show, you start to notice that he keeps calling certain positions fashionable or avant-garde.
You might think that he's talking about whatever's popular on Twitter that day, but if you pay attention, it's pretty much always in reference to the position that Nick Fuentes is putting out.
Whether it's the result he wanted to come about or not, uh, Alex is in a p uh situation where he's lost any real relevance in the media space where he used to be the king.
He used to be fashionable and avant-garde, and now the next generation has made him irrelevant.
Nick is unburdened by the need to defend Trump.
He doesn't owe people a billion dollars for lying about them, and he's half Alex's age.
Nick is legitimately the biggest threat to Alex's entire thing right now, mostly because he's not attacking Alex.
By putting on a friendly face, he's offering the audience an off-ramp that provides an answer for all the cognitive dissonance that Alex's show is creating.
We're supposed to be anti-war folks, but now we want to invade Mexico.
We're the anti-Epstein folks, but we're supposed to just move on from Trump's cover-up of that.
We're the anti-police state people, but Alex wants us to accept Trump taking over DC and putting feds on the street.
Nick has answers for all of that.
Whereas Alex just has excuses and spin.
This media space relies on antagonism and having an other to point to and say, I'm better than them.
For years, the mainstream media worked as this foil, and Alex could brand himself as the truth-based alternative to outlets like CNN.
But now the right-wing media has become so insulated and in another world that it means nothing to compare yourself to CNN.
The thing is uh, you know, these models work, and this antagonism model works.
So it's just kind of being recreated with other players assuming different roles.
In the past, InfoWars was this insurgent avant-garde option standing against the mainstream media, and now InfoWars is basically their version of mainstream media.
It's boring, repetitive, outdated, and is full of voices that are in favor of upholding the power structure.
Nick is the InfoWars of the moment, but it's not because of anything that Nick did or didn't do or any credibility or or you know value that he has.
This dynamic has evolved because Alex was full of shit the whole time.
If Alex and InfoWars had done their job and actually been an avant-garde voice opposing the mainstream media, then he wouldn't have become a Trump sycophant, and he wouldn't have put himself in a position where he'd be getting alpha's by a young Nazi like Nick.
He would have been able to maintain his cutting-edgeness.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
Due to an excessive fealty to Trump and a tragic friendship with Roger Stone, Alex is entirely lost the plot on what his career was supposed to be about.
And the timing just couldn't be worse.
The courts have given a green light to liquidating his assets, so he needs to move his customers over to the new fake company fast, but it feels like a lot of them just might use this crash out as a reason to explore new avant-garde options like ones Alex is presenting them with.
I think I don't it's so hard to know whether or not there's like an intentionality to it.
Sure, but he's acting exactly in the same way that you would if you were intentionally just trying to funnel your audience to more extreme shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean.
It's it's like if you're if you're looking at where Alex exists, it's it's something like he took a job opening.
Whenever he first started, it's not like he created this space.
He walked into a space that was created for him.
If the media were blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, then this space wouldn't exist.
And the same thing is happening with Nick.
He's creating the space for Nick to exist by not existing in that space.
He's created this wall of like, oh, well, Nick can be here, but I can't go there.
Here's where Nick is, but I can't be in that space at all.
And so people are just gonna migrate there as he gets smaller and smaller and smaller.
dan friesen
Yeah, and the a lot of that's uh getting smaller and smaller is self-imposed.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
dan friesen
It's the same way that like Trump's handling of the Epstein stuff is shooting himself in the foot.
Uh Alex behaving this way uh around these issues in the it in the presence of and and while inner g interacting with someone like Nick is shooting himself in the foot.
Yeah, he's just he's making himself clearly appear to be the false uh full of shit option.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
And that's uh it you couldn't ask for better if you're Nick.
unidentified
Which is weird because it's like, man, just fucking take Nick's shit.
jordan holmes
I hate the Jews, just move on, you know?
What are you doing?
dan friesen
I think he's afraid.
jordan holmes
I I mean, absolutely he's afraid.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Which is like that's why you lose in this game of all games.
The whole thing is just fear nothing.
I am as is what I'm saying racist, obviously.
Is it stupid?
Of course.
Is it a lie?
Why wouldn't it be?
And yet I still have the confidence to say it to your face.
dan friesen
I think too much of his career has been spent in a time where there would be real social and financial consequences to being a David Duke type.
jordan holmes
They're right.
dan friesen
David Duke suffered a lot of consequences that Alex was able to avoid largely.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
Um, and I think that I just I don't think he can.
jordan holmes
The winds are changing, yeah.
dan friesen
So uh, you know, Trump, Trump's going after people.
He's gonna indict everybody.
And look, I know that a lot of people thought that was gonna happen in the first term, but if you think about it, Alex really never said that was gonna happen.
alex jones
A lot of you have been listening for 10, 20, 30 years.
Most of you for years.
You've you you've heard me tell you that there was not going to be any indictments for the deep state in the first Trump administration.
Because I knew that Sessions was weak.
I knew Barr was ultra bad.
And I I understood who the players were and who they had at the head of the FBI.
And Trump's admitted he wasn't very sophisticated on how Washington works, because he was not an insider.
And so he's learned a lot.
dan friesen
So this is a fun uh little rewriting of history.
unidentified
Is it?
dan friesen
Yeah.
In the lead up to the 2016 election, Jeff Sessions was one of the first people in Congress to support Trump's candidacy.
And that made him a darling of the media surrogates like Roger Stone.
Early on, Roger was coming on InfoWars to promote the idea of Sessions being Trump's VP, and everyone loved the dude.
He was a guy with principle, which is what the globalists feared the most.
On November 18th, 2016, Alex said, quote, he's now announced that his attorney general, should he be confirmed by the Senate, uh, Senator Jeff Sessions.
That's gonna happen.
Very honorable man.
Could not think of a better choice.
That guy does not deal in politics when it comes to justice.
jordan holmes
Huh.
dan friesen
People better look out, and let me tell you, Hillary is gonna be in big trouble.
Jeff Sessions never compromises, never backs down, and is one of the best people we've got in our government.
jordan holmes
He shouldn't be allowed to go back and listen.
dan friesen
Sessions got into office and then recused himself from the Russian election interference investigation, which turned all of the right wing media folks against him.
They voted for Trump so he would be irresponsible with power the way they liked.
So his attorney general making a move like this was just the definition of weak.
And so the story became that they didn't ever think that Sessions was going to get things done in the first place.
Alex is a little closer to right about his take about William Barr, but that was a no-brainer.
Bar was in the Bush administration and had been involved in Iran Contra, so he was a figure that entered the scene with some baggage.
InfoWars took a much more I don't know about this type approach to his appointment, but they did still keep hope alive that Barr was gonna get some indictments going.
They tried to rationalize that the only reason Trump would appoint someone like Barr is because Barr is a closer and he knows how to get results.
He knows where the bodies are buried.
jordan holmes
I I mean, I thought it was because he was a cover-upper, famously covering up things.
dan friesen
I mean potato.
Potato.
I I'll give Alex a pass about not promising that Barr would lock up all their enemies, but he's absolutely lying about not saying that Sessions was gonna do that.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And that the only reason you do this is because you want like you want that this time I'm serious.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Energy.
jordan holmes
No, I mean, it is it is like I think if I if I boil down what the the general vibe is for me, it's like I have watched Trump run for president for the past decade, and now I'm watching him be the president, and everybody's going, Well, this was a huge mistake.
We should never have allowed that.
We liked it when he was running for president.
He made us feel like something was going to happen.
What he's doing is horrible.
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah, it should it should be it should be seen as pretty universally horrible.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I mean, everybody like I I can't wait for him to demand everyone be vaccinated.
And uh why not the right wing too like you know what?
When you think about what he's done with the border.
jordan holmes
Yep.
Yeah.
dan friesen
Maybe we gotta go with him on this one.
jordan holmes
Here's what we do, all right?
Uh hypnosis.
I think that'd work.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Or just you know, make him fall asleep a lot.
dan friesen
I d I mean he's old.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that should work.
dan friesen
He's probably fairly tired of it.
So uh Alex uh talks a little bit about uh the Trump Putin summit.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
That's happening in uh in Alaska.
Well, which Trump keeps calling Russia.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Um and that's fun.
jordan holmes
But that is fun.
dan friesen
Alex Alex is like, this is the problem with Ukraine is solved.
alex jones
Now, there's also huge news on the Ukraine war front, the biggest yet, and it just confirms exactly what I said because I followed Trump's policies, I've followed his deal making, I followed what he said.
People sit back and don't listen to it.
If Zelensky doesn't take this deal that's already been done, it's already agreed to, he's gonna formalize it Friday in Alaska with Putin and Trump.
Trump is gonna cut off all the military funds, all the intelligence, that's the direction of the missiles and the weapons.
We run that.
We run the war.
And Putin is then going to discontinue to blow the living hell out of the Ukrainian military.
And there will be a coup by Zelensky's generals against him.
One of the top generals we already know the name will be made the interim president.
They will then hold elections.
And then the Russians will pull back.
And that's the deal.
dan friesen
So Alex is solidly in favor of forced regime change in Ukraine, which isn't a surprise or anything, but it's so out of line with who he's supposed to be.
Staying out of war is a reasonable position for him to have on the basis of like non-interventionism.
But what he's advocating for is Trump choosing a winner of the war.
Incidentally, the Trump Putin summit in Alaska ended with no agreement about what to do in Ukraine and resulted in Trump saying that if they don't knock it off, he'll probably put more sanctions on Russia.
jordan holmes
What are you gonna do?
dan friesen
That threat came after Russia bombed a U.S. owned factory in Ukraine that uh produced consumer electronics and had no connection to weapons or the war effort or anything.
Trump did not solve this war with it uh with that summit, and the situation Alex is describing is his fantasy of what uh was going to happen.
And uh it just strikes me the same as like the uh this war will be over in forty-eight hours, you uh uh Zelensky works for Putin, he's already agreed.
jordan holmes
I I mean, I just imagine myself not as like, I don't want to be a big player in any of this, but I imagine myself in the position of somebody who's like a fairly high up aide somewhere around, who's like calling, who's getting things together, and at a certain point, I am like writing something down, and I go Trump and Putin are going to meet to talk about the Ukraine peace thing, and I just go, what am I doing?
What is it what are any of us doing?
Do you know how much money it costs to get these two idiots to this place in the middle of nowhere to do nothing?
Because of course they're not going to do anything.
What is wrong with all of us?
dan friesen
They um uh appeared strong.
jordan holmes
See?
dan friesen
So that's an achievement.
jordan holmes
Is that a is that what I do as an aide?
Is that what I am?
And there's police in DC?
What I'm trying to say is I would get out of there.
dan friesen
Uh huh.
jordan holmes
That would be my my advice.
Stay in Alaska.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I mean, look, it's a harsh tundra.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
Uh the the snow is unforgiving.
unidentified
Uh, but hey, uh never have predictable.
jordan holmes
You'll never have the realization that everything you've ever worked for or believed in is a lie.
dan friesen
True.
jordan holmes
It'll just be cold.
dan friesen
So um, look.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
The summit's gonna happen.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Everything's solved.
And uh Alex has the position that if Trump just ends this Ukraine war, he that makes his presidency worth it just on its own.
jordan holmes
That's an interesting question.
alex jones
This is this is huge, okay.
And if Trump can get this done, that alone is wonderful, and and and it was worth getting him into office and all we've gone through.
But the RFK Jr. stuff, all of it, and I've just been doing a lot of soul searching.
I'm very critical of Trump when he's wrong.
Get on his ass first before anybody else does.
Um, but I cannot sit back and throw the baby out with the bathwater and just become completely disillusioned and just watch the Democrats keep all their stolen seats and keep all their legal alien voters and have the new census and you know, add 30 new seats for themselves, and just the country's done.
And and then they're coming after all of us.
So we need Trump to succeed, and I pray to God there's no real Epstein stuff there.
I've never seen any evidence of it.
Most of the tractors don't believe that.
He's covering it up for Mossad and the CIA, who we know ran it.
That's not even debatable.
We've done that for decades.
That's just one of these groups doing this.
And I said they're gonna stab me in the back, Trump.
And I was told when he first got in seven months ago, you're not gonna get the Epstein stuff, it's not gonna happen, not gonna go on.
I've I've talked to prosecutors, Roger Stone told me that.
He's now since said it on the show that yes, he did say that.
And that's what it is.
dan friesen
So this is the bar that politicians need to clear now, apparently, for Alex.
It's fine if you actively cover up a giant child trafficking and blackmail rings, just so long as you're not involved in it yourself, you're just doing the cover up as a favor to the CIA and Mossad.
This shit sounds so dumb to the point where you have to wonder if Alex can even hear himself.
What conspiracy in his career couldn't be justified by saying that the people in power were covering it up as a favor to the deep state because it being revealed would be too messy.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
This is supposed to be a deal breaker for someone like Alex, and the fact that it's not should make everyone realize that the deal isn't what it appeared to be all this time.
What he's pretended to care about isn't really what matters.
And when that becomes this clear, you can see what really does matter.
And again, Alex is rewriting his own history here.
He definitely didn't say that Trump wasn't going to release the Epstein files, and in fact promised that as soon as Kash Patel got in as the FBI director, they would be out day one.
alex jones
Yep.
dan friesen
He knows that his past positions destroy his current credibility, so he's just pretending that he said something different in the past in order to be like, I'm real I'm this is real this time.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
It's fucking garbage.
Sad.
jordan holmes
I I can't imagine.
Like, okay.
Here is what I thought was the bonus to being a libertarian.
Fuck your baby.
I'm gonna throw this bathwater out and another baby.
That baby's not even in the bath.
I'm gonna throw that baby out too.
Fuck all babies.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Even my own baby.
I don't feel obligated to feed it.
dan friesen
Right.
Yeah, that's that's what the like the Mies institute.
That was their bread and butter was writing articles about how if you're a parent, you're not morally obligated to get your kid clothes.
jordan holmes
It's all fucking bullshit.
Society's trash.
What are we doing here?
dan friesen
Yeah, that was the fun of libertarianism.
jordan holmes
Right?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
What are why how are you defending the government?
dan friesen
Well, because it's really just about power.
jordan holmes
Nuts.
dan friesen
And about power being directed in the ways that Alex wants, particularly those that make his white identity uh class uh feel safe.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
So uh DC, uh Trump uh Trump put some troops, troops on the street.
jordan holmes
I know listen, I know it's awful, but also you also have to note that a lot of those troops are like standing somewhere just going, what are we do?
What are we doing?
Do we have orders?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Do we like arrest people?
What do we arrest?
How do you arrest somebody?
dan friesen
Yeah, there's a fair amount of milling around uh confusedly.
jordan holmes
We don't know what to do.
dan friesen
And it's totally cool.
jordan holmes
Yeah, of course.
alex jones
Breaking Trump places DC under federal control, brings in National Guard to liberate capital from Democrat control.
And this is the exact same type of stuff that Andrew Jackson and others did.
jordan holmes
The Trail of Tears.
alex jones
So it is not the police state.
Trump's releasing nonviolent offenders, you know, all the rest of it, reforming all sorts of you know, drug laws you name it.
He wants the dealers in prison for life or executed, but the people using it no, you know, get him medical help.
The Democrats were the ones training under Clinton and then Obama and happened under Bush, too, to fight constitutional terrorists, and their main mission, the main threat was militias and white supremacists and all this made up stuff.
And then they get him to say the number one crime in America, the it's rampant white supremacist killing black people and Asians.
What?
dan friesen
So the the drug uh people, drug users get the medical help.
I'm sure Alex wants the government to subsidize or pay for those programs to get them that medical help.
jordan holmes
Well, nah, probably not.
I mean, in a sense, medical help could include being put inside of a very small room and held against your will.
dan friesen
Yeah, hypothetical medical help, not actual medical help.
jordan holmes
Yes, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
dan friesen
So I wrote thousands of words and erase thousands of words trying to sum up how fucked up it is for Alex to have the position that he has, but it's just self-evident.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's I there's nothing you can say descriptive.
How do you describe air?
It just i it it's air.
It's fucked up.
jordan holmes
If you and I look at this thing and you see something different, it is not my fault.
dan friesen
No.
Alex supporting Trump taking over DC and his willingness to report this action as being part of quote, liberating the city from Democrats, is so far past what his definition of the police state should be that All he can really do is deny and then start ranting about how past presidents were too mean to militias and racists.
I honestly can't figure out how to say anything to add a point here, other than to say that Alex has no listeners left with critical thinking skills.
They have been the subject to a lot of bottlenecks in the past that have thinned out their ranks, but this isn't possible.
The only people who could possibly be left are super old, super dumb, or Nazis who just haven't gotten the message that it's time to move on from this sinking ship.
Because this is atrocious.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
He, like, I don't know.
There's a lot of things that I think I have in the past said, well, this invalidates his entire career.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
But like, he's made so many films called police state.
jordan holmes
It's literally I mean, it's literally a police state.
Because one, DC is its own state.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
jordan holmes
Right?
It's not a it's not a like un in independent state.
It's its own thing.
Right?
It is in totality covered by police and National Guard people.
dan friesen
From other states, no less.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
National Guard troops from other states who Trump has called in.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, there what else is there to say?
What's weird about it?
Here's what's weird about it, right?
This feels like bad dictatoring.
Because if I'm open with what I want from if I'm dictating, right?
I'm the bad guy.
If I'm open about what I want from these people, I'm getting the oath keepers.
I'm hiring thugs.
What I want is people to feel a general sense of terror, right?
But if I've got professional National Guardsmen who actually give a shit about what they do, they're more gonna be like, How can I help you, man?
Like, that's what they do.
There might be a blend of oathkeepers within Well, see, that's the problem with ice is that I think oathkeepers are getting hired by the millions.
dan friesen
That might be.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I I think I I think if you're if you're a dictator, you might start with this and then bring in.
You know, like you might replace them.
jordan holmes
Sure, get people to trust the people and then replace them with thugs.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's possible.
dan friesen
Yeah, I don't know.
jordan holmes
We're bad dictators.
dan friesen
There's a lot of options.
Well, it's not an interest of mine.
jordan holmes
I haven't me neither.
dan friesen
I haven't really thought about it too much.
So, Alex, one of the things that you notice uh l watching this is like as he's talking about how cool it is that DC's been taken over.
It's super cool.
Um, he can't really talk about it without drifting deep into some feelings about race.
Sure.
And so you know, you already saw it uh in that last clip.
He's already drifting into like feelings about ah, they call us white supremacists, there's no white supremacist murders.
Uh, and and he can't disentangle this.
alex jones
Every once in a while, some crazy white supremacist goes and kill some innocent black people, and man, it is the end of the world.
It's all you ever hear about, but it is it is statistically incredibly rare.
Like I look the numbers up.
If you average out white supremacist killing black people over the last 20 years, there's about five black people a year.
And that's too many.
But I mean, it is it is it is like finding a four-leaf clover or something.
I mean, it it it is rare, err, rare, rare, err, rare.
But now, oh, Marshall Law, oh my gosh, I sits illegal.
They're arresting illegals.
Pellet courts code's completely constitutional.
And DC is scary.
dan friesen
You can see that Alex's views uh that he views Trump's takeover of DC as a racial crime related thing, since he's trying to use the infrequency of white supremacist murders to invalidate the claim that what's happening in DC is the police state.
I think it's important for us to take a moment to think about what the police state means, because on some level, Alex does have a few technicalities that he can play around with here, but he shouldn't be allowed to, and he shouldn't want to.
On a purely technical level, Trump taking over the Metropolitan Police Department is not illegal.
It's within the powers of the president to declare an emergency and federalize it under his authority, and that emergency state continuing past the intended 48-hour window is totally legal because this emergency was declared when Congress was adjourned.
The idea that there's a lot of crime in DC is a it's a thin excuse to declare an emergency.
But if that's what Trump considers an emergency and what Alex is willing to defend as requiring calling in the National Guard, that's their prerogative.
I strongly disagree, and I would argue against that stance, but If that's the position they want to take, then that's where it stands.
Federalizing the DC police and calling in the National Guard to engage in domestic policing in DC is not technically illegal, but I think anyone looking at this honestly would have to say that it's an escalation of the police state.
National Guard troops and federalized police are patrolling public transit and district streets.
They've set up checkpoints in multiple locations, they're confiscating guns, and they're arresting people for petty crimes and doing immigration roundups.
This is the police state.
And if Alex wants to defend that on technicalities and pretend that local crime in DC is a good reason to declare an emergency requiring multiple states' National Guard forces responding, then that's on him.
He can take that stance if he wants.
It's easy for him to just say, no, this isn't the police state stuff.
But I've watched his documentaries.
There's multiple that include the title police state.
I know what he thinks about this.
jordan holmes
Just building a big road was part of being a the police state.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Or like FEMA doing their job.
Sure.
Alex is very stupid and really lazy, so I often give him more benefits of the doubt than he deserves because a lot of the time it doesn't really matter whether he's operating from a place of idiocy or malice.
The effect is the same.
He deserves zero leeway on this and should recognize that him making excuses for Trump taking over DC is a stain on his entire career.
This is the moment his character was made for.
If you look at uh the world, this is when Alex Jones uh why you have one.
jordan holmes
Well, there's a pedophile billionaire in the White House with a very small group of other pedophile billionaires who run the world.
dan friesen
Who's creating a fake emergency in order to militarize the police in the Capitol.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Like this is the point of having somewhat like putting up with the negative externalities of having an Alex Jones in the world.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
And that and because these circumstances are coming to bear, you can see how fake it was the whole time.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Never meant any of it.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
Just wanted power and uh white identity.
jordan holmes
I mean, ironically, what's so funny is that he is proving true something that he's often said is like, you know, if I was right, they would kill me.
If I were anything but what I am, I would be dead by now.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I would be on this is the perfect time to kill me.
I'm very killable at this exact moment.
dan friesen
But it turns out I'm not that scared.
jordan holmes
It's it is one of the things that I hate the most.
Like throughout my life, one of the things that I hate the most is just not being willing to take responsibility for wanting to and being that guy.
Like he wants to be and take and be the guy who's like, eh, it's all right if he does that shit.
But he doesn't want to take responsibility for being that guy.
He doesn't want to be accountable for being that guy.
He just wants to vacation there so he can get away with this bullshit and then go back to being whatever he fuck I hate that shit.
I hate that shit.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Just do it.
dan friesen
The person that he pretends to be and wants to be is someone that it has to make really, really difficult choices, and oftentimes they go against what would be in their direct self-interest.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
He does not want to make those choices that go against his own self-interest, but wants to still wear the hat.
Which is it's sad.
jordan holmes
Which is like in a gestalt sense, you are making the wrong choice.
What is the choice that's for your best interests is the choice that paradoxically looks like it's not the choice for your best interests at this moment in time.
dan friesen
Right.
Yeah.
Like Bill Cooper dying the way he did is the right choice.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
For him.
Even though it is a horrible horror.
jordan holmes
Even though it's wrong, it is the right choice.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Because it completes the totality of the man.
dan friesen
He doesn't have to uh continue on in a career that will m you know make him into what Alex is now.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
You're there just you're defending the thing that was the devil for your whole career.
jordan holmes
I mean it's insane.
dan friesen
Stupid.
jordan holmes
It's just insane.
dan friesen
But DC is scary.
There's crime.
alex jones
I've been in Detroit.
And they say it's super scary.
I've been in the different areas.
No, not really.
Statistically, you know, crime.
I grew up in Dallas when it was the murder capital of the US.
Off and on between Chicago.
So I mean they have like fourteen murders a day when I was a kid, and so I mean it was like mugging's all over and carjackings and home invasions and not I mean it was pretty wild.
And DC's scarier than growing up in the Dallas in the eighties.
So, in my opinion.
I mean, let me tell you, you don't go around walking around at night, you sure as hell look over your shoulder.
And and if you want to be if you want to have some racist stuff said to you because you're white, you that's the place to go.
jordan holmes
Oh my God.
alex jones
It's gonna happen.
dan friesen
So a few years back I was seeing someone who lived in DC, so I spent a fair amount of time there, and I'll say that this does not match my experience of DC, but again, you can see how much of Alex's feelings about Trump taking over DC has to do with his feelings about race.
He thinks that the black people in DC aren't nice enough to white people, so you gotta call in the National Guard.
That's basically what he's saying.
jordan holmes
I mean, you know, you eat in the same restaurant, and then here we are.
dan friesen
As to his point about growing up in Dallas, uh, like, first off, there was absolutely not 14 murders a day in Dallas in the 80s.
1988 was the year of that decade that had the highest total number of murders, and it was 366 for the whole year.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But the question there is would Alex have supported the National Guard coming in to police Dallas when he was a kid?
Is he expecting me to think that his John Birch society ass family would have been cheering on the feds, taking control of the city because crime was out of control?
No way.
jordan holmes
Man, 14 dead a day is a lot, though.
dan friesen
But it's not real.
jordan holmes
No, I understand I understand it's not real, but that would be that would be maybe crazy enough that you're like, whatever's going on right now is not working.
dan friesen
You know.
jordan holmes
That's uh that's so many.
dan friesen
It is a lot, it's a lot.
It's it's quite a few.
jordan holmes
Um again, hypothetical, because none of this was happening.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
So of course it would be insane to do that.
dan friesen
Yeah.
I I also think that uh, you know, it's it's hard to wrap your mind around numbers because of like the vastness of cities.
jordan holmes
Sure, absolutely.
dan friesen
Um, but 14 would still be pretty high.
jordan holmes
Fourteen, like what?
What's that?
Almost uh three three thousand, five thousand people a year?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
In a city like Dallas?
You know somebody who's been murdered this year, if that's who you are.
You know what I'm saying?
Like you, it is affected you.
You're one out of eight people who know somebody who's been murdered.
That's the statistics on that, right?
dan friesen
Almost like COVID.
jordan holmes
Yeah, everybody would be like, Jesus Christ, there's so many fucking murders.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
So Alex thinks that this is gonna work.
jordan holmes
I I mean work to do what?
What is the goal, though?
dan friesen
Scare homeless people.
jordan holmes
There we go.
alex jones
No, instead, they're out actually aiding the police, eyes and ears, and just their presence is gonna make crime drop dramatically.
And Trump sells the homeless.
We're not rolling out the red carpet anymore, and most cities do that.
Places like Austin, San Francisco and DC advertise it's the place to come.
And so it's like Day of the Dead in Austin, Texas, since they did this six years ago.
Day of the dead.
All over the place.
Homeless people constantly in my parents' backyard, banging on my daughter's condo door, trying to get in all the time.
It's not even a bad area.
It used to be a nice area.
And now it's like zombie land.
And Hispanic homeless, black homeless, white homeless, all have been in my parents' backyard.
High as kites, crapping, throwing garbage everywhere.
Oh, yeah.
You get a schizophrenic one comes up to your door, looks like Charlie Manson with crap running down their legs, and all the NGOs giving them all the money.
dan friesen
So I guess Alex thinks that the Feds should come take over Austin, too, then, right?
I mean, like he's what he's describing as like this is out of control.
jordan holmes
This is that's what you need the National Guard for.
dan friesen
Yeah, there's too many scary unhoused people around.
So you gotta get troops on the street bothering everyone.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
This uh this is a real cool libertarian, yeah, cool, small government, anti-federal, states' rights kind of dude.
jordan holmes
Because it's like it's not like the Metropolitan Police Department isn't armed equally as well as the National Guard.
Like they've got they're outfitted, they've got tanks and shit.
dan friesen
Well, I mean, yeah, that's a lot of the police state stuff that Alex used to be quite critical of.
jordan holmes
We're all very unhappy that the military sold all their useless war of Iraq shit to all of our cops, right?
Because now they have a lot of weapons.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Right?
So like, what are you guys up to, man?
What are you gonna do?
Um what are you gonna but like seriously?
As a as an ultimate, okay.
How about this?
How about we do this?
We make a bet, right?
Like, we're gonna just let you do this shit.
You do the National Guard shit.
I don't give a shit about the law.
Do the National Guard shit for a year.
We study it.
We everything is perfectly mapped out.
And if it works, then it's fine.
But if it doesn't work, we can never do it again.
dan friesen
Well, I think I think you'd run into everyone bickering about like what the stats are, what they mean.
I think you I think you would end up with uh kind of maybe an unfortunately meaningless data set that wouldn't tell you if this actually achieved whatever goal you want it to or not.
An argument could be made in both directions, probably based on whatever the results are.
jordan holmes
It'll have to be me.
You can't do it anymore.
Ever.
dan friesen
Okay.
There we go.
This also might be dicey.
jordan holmes
Not yet.
dan friesen
Um I I just think that Alex uh just wants poor people uh to be rounded up.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
dan friesen
Cool.
jordan holmes
At least we're spending money on them somehow.
Now, admittedly, it's not helping them, it's paying somebody else to hurt them.
But we are investing in our population, if you think about it.
dan friesen
That's that's a very optimistic view.
jordan holmes
See, I'm an optimistic guy.
dan friesen
So look, there's tyranny in the world.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
But what about the tyranny of crime?
Maybe we need someone to free us from the tyranny of crime.
jordan holmes
I think it's possible.
I think it's impossible to be crime tyranny because the law is the tyranny.
dan friesen
Well, no, not anymore.
jordan holmes
Oh, okay.
dan friesen
Crime is the tyranny, and Trump is gonna save us.
jordan holmes
Okay, all right.
alex jones
In LA places the cops get in trouble if they arrest people dealing drugs.
And it's got like that in Austin with Jose Garza, our open communist Soros DA.
So, yeah.
No, no, the tyranny is the crime explosion, and our reporter getting executed by some Mexican and a black supremacist who all bragged about it.
We kill that white son of a bitch, ha ha ha.
Viva La Raza, kill the cracker.
It's in the indictment.
Carjackings all the time right around the studio six years ago.
Almost no crime.
Nice area.
jordan holmes
hellhole.
alex jones
And the state police aren't trained right.
When the governor put them in, they just write tickets.
You know, well, you do we're five miles over the speed limit.
Let's pull you over.
And I'm just like, I'm going to give you a warning, Alex.
But I'm like, can't you go?
They're selling crack a mile down the road right here.
I know.
We're just here to patrol.
And we pull over a lot of cars to stop.
We caught some people, we pull them over.
I'm like, great.
Thanks a lot, man.
Yeah, I mean, come on.
You got literal crack heads up 50 yards away, actually, in the in the woods.
And you're gonna pull me over five miles over the speed limit.
Okay, whatever.
Knock yourself out.
So, yeah, we're just showing some images of Austin.
So thank God for Trump.
And he's doing the right thing, and it's beautiful, and it's all constitutional.
Here's what he had to say today.
donald j trump
Very serious.
Something's out of control, but we're gonna put it in control very quickly, like we did on the southern border.
I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor.
And worse.
dan friesen
So one of the people arrested for killing Alex's reporter, Jamie White did record a song that mentioned killing that white guy.
But because it's Jamie White's last name, it's very difficult to tell if they were referencing his skin color or his name.
Alex has naturally taken it as a racial attack because that's how he experiences everything, to the point where I guess Mexican supremacists and black supremacists were working together to kill his employee.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
It's bridging a gap.
jordan holmes
I mean, you know, it's nice to see people working together.
dan friesen
Overcoming their differences.
jordan holmes
Yeah, absolutely.
It's kind of an inspiring story if you think about it.
dan friesen
So we can tell from Alex's actions that police state stuff really isn't that important to him.
Because if it were, this would be a bridge that he just couldn't cross.
Fill in the blank with whatever explanation you want.
But the bottom line is that he if he ever really cared about this stuff from a principal standpoint, his behavior would be different now.
From that data point, it's helpful to go back and see what insight you can uh have about other positions that he used to push around this stuff.
If Alex really never cared that much about police state stuff and federalizing of the National Guard, then what was actually what was he actually mad about?
What were the actual positions that he was trying to hide behind that facade of police state outrage?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Spoiler alert.
It was mostly just racism and attacking public spending to protect the wealth of the elites.
Um that's basically what all of this was a mask for.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I mean, there's no other way to say it, but if ever there was going to be a universal, like, well, January 6th wasn't that bad of an idea.
It's gotta be now.
Like, there's it's a police state in DC.
What do you want?
What do you want?
unidentified
No, you know, whatever argument you want to have, what do you want?
dan friesen
The real police state was Trump not winning in 2020.
jordan holmes
That you hey, if that's what you want to say, that's fine.
But do you know what that also includes?
This right now.
That it still includes this right now.
dan friesen
Trump is gonna save us from the tyranny of crime.
jordan holmes
But that's what I'm saying.
But even then it still includes this right now.
So all of the things that made you do January 6th, right, are now but more.
dan friesen
Right.
But also, let's uh take a little moment to step back and realize that the reasons they did January 6th aren't what you're waiting.
jordan holmes
Hold on.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So okay.
I don't think they were telling the truth.
dan friesen
No, I think they might not have been on the level.
jordan holmes
I think they might not have been on the level.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Almost like all these fucks are liars.
Oh my god.
Anyway, uh Trump talks here a little bit.
He he's he's giving his announcement.
And I like uh that he he says that the Capitol has been taken over by wild youths.
jordan holmes
Sure.
donald j trump
Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged out maniacs and homeless people.
And we're not gonna let it happen anymore.
We're not gonna take it.
alex jones
Yeah, I live in a pretty good part of Austin.
And I'd rather work sometimes at five, six in the morning, and and they'll just be people running half naked with baseball bats just across the highway.
unidentified
Warriors and then I hope out of the office.
alex jones
And I mean, I've seen people running around like machetes, baseball batch, just attacking each other on the side of the road.
And I and I mean some mornings when I guess they're really wound up.
I mean, I'll see it multiple times, like I'm in grand theft auto.
I'm just driving along, I've got my gun out.
And I'm and I'm probably all that red light going to red light, oh, there's two crazies right there.
I'm just like, oh, I'm gonna get my gun.
I don't want to have to shoot anybody, but I mean it is.
They are on fentanyl methamphetamine.
dan friesen
That sounds insane.
alex jones
Wow.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Man, here's what I love about everybody who's ever been like, oh, Chicago, there's so much gun violence.
Man, I have never felt like I should drive around with a brandished gun out the window.
dan friesen
When you drive over here to record, never once never once was that.
You're not just holding.
jordan holmes
I just better be I just better have this pointed out the window.
Because who knows what could happen.
dan friesen
Well, but here's the thing.
Alex isn't either.
jordan holmes
No, of course not.
dan friesen
He's making this up.
jordan holmes
Of course.
This is ridiculous.
dan friesen
So many videos that he's shot himself of him driving around.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's not holding a gun.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
He's casually driving around.
jordan holmes
In a nice car.
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's he's trying to create the image of that uh the LP video, deep space nine millimeter, where everybody's got a gun too.
jordan holmes
Yeah, everybody's just pointing a gun at each other all the time.
dan friesen
This is what it's like.
jordan holmes
This is what this is how it has to be in order to keep the peace.
dan friesen
It's not.
You're driving around recording yourself, posing on Twitter.
You're fine.
jordan holmes
There is no way that the writer of death uh uh Death Wish should become the president.
You know what I mean?
Like Charles Bronson going around solving crime by himself as the fever.
unidentified
Oh God.
dan friesen
I didn't realize that.
I must have known and then forgotten.
But the Bruce Willis.
jordan holmes
Bruce Willis?
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Bruce Willis will never beat Charles.
Bronson was perfect for that.
dan friesen
Yeah.
It also this is a crazy thing to say.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
But the remake looks so much more violent than the first one.
jordan holmes
Yeah, which is weird.
dan friesen
The first one is really not that violent.
jordan holmes
No, he's not.
dan friesen
He doesn't kill he kills like I think one or two people.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I mean, it's in anything in any way you could describe it, it's more like a probably an overreaction, but an understandable one.
Death Wish 2 is when it's like, oh, this guy's just a murderer.
dan friesen
Correct.
jordan holmes
Is it Death Wish 3?
dan friesen
Three.
jordan holmes
Three is whenever he's just basically mowing people down like hot shots part due.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Three is where it gets out of hand.
jordan holmes
Gotcha.
dan friesen
But I think I saw the trailer for the uh the remake because I was thinking about watching it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I was like, I think what they just must have done is compressed all of them into this remake.
I think that sucks.
Um anyway, uh, Alex does think seem to think that he's living in the Warriors.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that sounds right.
dan friesen
Nuts.
jordan holmes
That sounds fun.
dan friesen
And he also thinks that all of these other gangs in New York, all these fun dressed up gangs.
Yeah, they all just hate him because he's white.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that makes sense.
alex jones
So this all ties together.
I want to just get this on record because it's absolutely true.
And I thought, ought to give this to McBreen or somebody.
We ought to take this guy's video like we like to do and upgrade it and just add history and documents to it so you know all the specifics.
He does a good job, but I mean, I could you can make a whole movie about this, but notice there really aren't any movies.
There's like one movie about it.
Because that doesn't fit the narrative.
You know, well, the only place slavery's still around is in some places in the Middle East in Africa and Somalia.
They're famous slavers.
Ilon Omar comes from a famous noble family in in in their doesn't even see African.
They see blacks in the Quran as quote raisin heads.
And they would they would take the black men and cut their genitals off as slaves.
That's the Muslims, okay.
But they preach Islam in the in the in the prisons.
The imam don't read that part of the Quran to you.
jordan holmes
Naturally.
alex jones
And I'm not trying to attack blacks that want to be Muslims or whatever, but just please.
My point is please, please stop saying I'm a white devil.
Because of the color of my skin.
Actually, kind of a pink devil.
A little bit of a red devil, actually.
The point is is that I'm tired of it.
And I'm not gonna bow down to it.
But it's the globalists and the media and Hollywood doing this to get us to kill each other.
And it's stupid.
But you have large groups of young black men who really believe it's open season on whites because of the culture and the media.
Remember when they had some of the Afrikaners, only 80 of them coming here, and they had all these black commentators on TV that's supposedly educated saying, they try to be racist to me, I'm gonna beat the hell out of them.
This is going well like the Afrikaners get off and go, you work for me, black man.
jordan holmes
That is what they do, yes.
alex jones
They hide out on their farms and totally scared to death and have a bunch of black people that love them that are Christian that defend them.
unidentified
Hoo boy.
dan friesen
So just a little side note.
At the beginning, Alex is literally talking about stealing and improving a video made by a black life coach about how white people didn't create slavery.
Yeah.
Like he has no concern about intellectual property that this guy might have.
And also, I really do think the funny it's a funny idea conceptually, just that he's like, I can do that better.
alex jones
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
It is an exemplification of the very thing that is it's it's impossible to wrap your head around, really.
dan friesen
So this is also very instructive because this is still an offshoot of the conversation about Trump taking over DC.
On a very basic level, Alex supports Trump taking over the city because he sees it as predominantly black.
So this extension of the police state is going in the direction that he supports.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
I've said it many times and I'll say it again.
Alex does not care about the idea of a tyrannical state as long as he feels like the groups that he considers himself a part of are not targeted by it.
If the government is worried about militias and Nazis, then the police state is the biggest issue in the world, and something as minor as FEMA trying to prepare for a natural disaster is proof of an evil plot.
If the government is full of militia types and Nazis, then the police state isn't that big of a problem, and it's fully justified by how much crime Alex sees people post videos of on Twitter.
And it's just nonsense.
Pretending there's anything much deeper than that to his like core beliefs is a fo like it's a little I mean that there's the National Guard is called into DC to cover the place.
jordan holmes
How do you not just go like ah fuck?
Like that would be my whole show.
That would be my whole show.
Everything up to this point, I'd be like, ah, I tried with the Epstein stuff.
I gave it a shot.
You know, I tried to light it through that.
And then what about the butter?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, the butter's a problem, you know, the devil's an issue.
But you know what?
Fuck, man.
Fuck that.
That's just it's comically far.
dan friesen
Yeah.
No, it's it's too far.
jordan holmes
It's it's almost personal.
It feels like if I was if I was Trump and I was like, you know what would really make me fucking laugh is to sometimes just every now and again watch a clip of Alex Jones having to defend the absolute worst shit I've ever done.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
That'd be hilarious.
dan friesen
I imagine it would be really funny if Trump did like the State of the Union and he just made two frogs kissed.
Absolutely.
Totally pushing frogs up against each other.
jordan holmes
If I would I would support if the next president just wanted to antagonize one person through all of what he does, that would be better than what we have currently.
And so I will, according to the rules of Hillary Clinton, vote for the lesser of two evils.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So Alex was talking a little bit about the uh Afrikaners there.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that was great.
I think you should talk more about the Afrikaners if you're a white supremacist.
dan friesen
Well, good, he does.
jordan holmes
Great.
alex jones
And then roving bands of non-Christian communists come and kill the blacks and the whites of South Africa.
You don't know anything, dumbass.
The blacks are all battling to prove themselves and go live on the farms with the white people.
They're like they're Amish dumb bows.
That's literally what they are.
They went to America.
They went to South America.
They went and found Hawaii.
The King of Hawaii gave Amish on the island.
They called the forbidden island.
Look it up.
They're Amish there today.
And only the Amish and the natives live there.
With no electricity.
I was invited out there.
I don't have time to do it.
Amish leader.
dan friesen
So this isn't true at all, but it speaks to Alex's belief in white supremacy and his fundamental support for the world of colonialist times.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
Afrikaners are not Amish.
They're descended from mostly Dutch settlers who were servants of the Dutch East India Company.
On account of the Afrikaan that being a Dutch Reformed Church made a foothold there in South Africa, but over time a split developed in the church, and a new Dutch Reformed Church of South Africa began, which was distinct in many ways.
At the root, though, reformed churches are churches that are inspired by Calvinist doctrine and are built around the idea that man is a slave to sin and cannot escape by choice or will.
alex jones
Sure.
dan friesen
Only those who God has chosen to help can be saved, and these are the elect.
These teachings were introduced by John Calvin, a French theologian who was a ri uh alive in the early 1500s.
Conversely, the Amish grew out of the Anabaptist Reformation that went down in Switzerland also in the 1500s.
The radical departure that the Anabaptists made was the uh from the existing church uh was that the they only practiced baptism of believers, which is to say, you had to be an adult to be baptized.
The act of being baptized is a holy agreement between yourself and God, and when you're a child, you can't possibly enter that agreement by your own free will and understanding.
So child baptism is meaningless.
The Calvinist tradition practices infant baptism and is not part of the Anabaptist tradition that spread into the Amish and Mennonite churches that Alex would be vaguely familiar with.
Beyond the fact that their histories and theological line lineages are completely separate, there's also just fundamental differences between what these churches believe and how they practice their faith.
The forbidden island in Hawaii is Ni'ihao and it's privately owned.
The census says that there's a hundred and seventy people living on the island, but it's entirely under the control of the Robinson family, who are descendants of a rich Scottish farmer named Elizabeth Sinclair.
She bought Niihau from the Kingdom of Hawaii for ten thousand bucks in gold in 1864, and it's passed down through the family ever since.
They are somewhat conservative, but I really don't think they would have invited Alex to visit the island.
It just doesn't seem right.
It's a complex thing here where this family has complete control over the island, and they make a bunch of money letting the military have a post there, but the flip side of it is that they're conservationists, and part of their ownership involves allowing the native population on the island to continue to live there unimpeded and rent-free.
Over the years they've allowed half-day visits to the island for tourists and hunters for a Price, but it's always been strictly forbidden to interact with the locals who would be on the other side of the island from where any visitors would be anyway.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
It's kind of bullshit because the family also imposes a bunch of artificial rules on the native population, like not allowing drinking or smoking and not allowing men to grow beards.
So what they're doing is more or less allowing an artificial remnant of Nihao culture to remain as long as it conforms to what they want it to be.
jordan holmes
Oh God.
dan friesen
A lot of these people on the island work to maintain the military installation, so it's not a wholly benevolent act for the family to allow them to live on the island, since if they didn't do that, they'd have to find another source of labor to facilitate the base that allows them to get the rent.
So there's a lot of speculation that the 170 number on the census is an overcounting, and there might be only like 50 people living on Ni How so it could be the case that a very significant portion of the population is employees there to maintain the base and keep the family getting the rent from the US government and contracts and and all that stuff.
jordan holmes
I like the I like the idea of calling them somewhat conservative.
That's funny to me.
Because to me, the there's no line once you go, I should keep holding this island.
Like if you are fully on the other side of the you know, I don't need I don't need a somewhat in there.
Well, you own an island and have roughly speaking, somewhat enslaved its people.
dan friesen
I'm judging this based sort of on the fact that they're still uh people who live there are technically still U.S. citizens and so can vote.
jordan holmes
Sure, sure.
dan friesen
It's a very small number of people who end up voting.
Yeah, and uh they they have voted pretty pretty Republican.
jordan holmes
Funny how that works.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Funny.
dan friesen
It's all very messy, and I don't trust any of this.
But whatever the case is, Elizabeth Sinclair was not Amish, and neither are we Alex just likes colonialism, and he's tying himself into knots to explain it in some other way than just we white people should be running everything.
jordan holmes
I mean I I genuinely just will never understand anybody who's like, Oh yeah, this island should be mine.
dan friesen
I don't know.
I don't I I I see both ends of it.
I think my idealistic side agrees with you.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
But I also like I don't know.
Once we start entering into that conversation, like all landownership becomes dicey.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it does.
dan friesen
And and doesn't it?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
No.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I agree.
I agree in in in idealistic terms.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
Uh uh with a lot of that, but functionally, I don't know where how we get there from here.
jordan holmes
I'm fine with that.
We don't need to go too far.
How about this?
We compromise on you can't just have your own island.
dan friesen
Sure.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I think that was fair.
dan friesen
Except Epstein.
Let him know.
jordan holmes
Yeah, he gets to keep it.
Weirdly enough.
dan friesen
So Alex has a guest on the show.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And it is a fellow we haven't seen in a little bit.
Uh real nutbag.
Uh, and he kind of he's the kind of person who gives me hope that Steve Pachanik could make a response.
Could come back because this guy was gone for a while, too.
alex jones
All right.
Patrick Byrne is a very interesting person.
He's worked on US intelligence and a lot of high-level stuff.
He's also uh started and you know huge successful multi-billion dollar companies.
Dr. Patrick M. Byrne, Patrick Byrne on action, deepcapture.com, major films made about his uh work and his very intriguing life.
And I'm not gonna go over uh his lengthy uh please don't curriculum.
But all the rounds he's here to talk about Venezuela and how it ties into the Democrat overall plan to steal elections and how it ties into the gerrymandering, the redistricting.
dan friesen
You can't be any less serious than interviewing Patrick Byrne in 2025.
We haven't talked about him in a while because he was a little too out there for Alex to associate with during the fallout of the 2020 election conspiracies.
He was way too closely connected to people like Sidney Powell, who were getting sued all over the place and becoming punchlines, so he became a much less important figure in this media.
To give you a little refresher on him, uh Byrne founded Overstock.com, but he resigned in 2019 when it came out that he'd been in a relationship with Russian spy Maria Batina.
She pled guilty to conspiracy uh to act as an unregistered foreign agent, infiltrating organizations like the NRA on behalf of the Russian government and creating back channel connections between these figures and the government.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
She and Byrne were involved, which he claimed only happened because the FBI had asked him to date her, a claim which the FBI strongly denies.
jordan holmes
Well, no, that sounds true.
dan friesen
She served a few months in jail and then was deported to Russia in 2019, where she went on to work for RT.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
In 2021, she was elected to the Russian Duma, but her candidacy was almost derailed by revelations made by now dead Alexi Navalny that Byrne was still sending her large sums of cash in 2021.
So what's she gonna do?
Patrick Byrne is a fucking mess.
And Alex better hope he's paying for this airtime.
Because the alternative is that he actually wants to talk to Patrick Byrne about Venezuela conspiracies.
jordan holmes
I mean, it feels like this is out of the blue.
It feels like if I'm booking my show and what's going on is going on right now, and Patrick Byrne is like available with Venezuela talk, I'm like, buddy, not the time.
But if Patrick Byrne is available with a lot of money and Venezuela talk, you got all the time in the world.
dan friesen
Yeah.
I think that uh the way the vibe that this uh uh interview goes to is that like uh Alex does not seem that engaged at the beginning and then realizes I can work with this.
All right, and becomes like pretty excited as he realizes like, oh wait, the Venezuela stuff connects to all the smartmatic and dominion conspiracy.
jordan holmes
You can fold your shit into my shit.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
And so he he gets on board more as it goes along, but it does feel like uh I'm just talking to this ding dong at the beginning.
jordan holmes
That's why you get the crazies, though, because then you can fold in some real craziness, you know.
He doesn't have the creative juices anymore.
These people are coming out of nowhere with uh fringe ideas.
dan friesen
What about the butter?
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
So uh you want a fringe idea?
jordan holmes
Hell yeah.
dan friesen
Here's a fringe idea.
jordan holmes
Let's do it.
alex jones
Well, that's what and and I mean Vance, I I know Vance, and people he's a he's a very serious guy and very smart person.
Is he and very measured, but he doesn't go on Fox News and say no, a bunch of people are getting a dotted is happening.
patrick m byrne
And and and so I think the only thing to do is to replace the top 3,000 people in the government with ex-military from SOCOM or the Marines.
alex jones
And there is there's a whole layer of all the lawyers, the politicos, they're just all soft scum.
patrick m byrne
The first rule is you gotta get the right people in place, and the only people you can trust at this point are ex SOCOM or Marines, I think.
unidentified
Historically speaking, I mean this is this is good.
jordan holmes
Historically speaking, when the top 3,000 people in your government are all military or ex-military, you're gonna have a good time.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
No, it works.
jordan holmes
You're gonna have a grand time.
dan friesen
They're the trustworthy people.
Um I think just that conversation happening is fucking stupid.
jordan holmes
You know what I think?
Military junta.
How you feel?
dan friesen
I mean, someone like Alex, who really worries about the police state, really worries about uh tyranny small government.
jordan holmes
Right.
Well, this would be a smaller government of just three thousand people, all of whom I think, oh we well I think that would be more than three thousand.
Sure, sure, sure.
I you know, they would keep the other people on.
unidentified
I assume those people would want to work for the military until I don't know if want comes into it.
jordan holmes
That's a fair point.
dan friesen
So um Epstein comes up.
Sure.
And uh Alex is like, uh, this Trump and Epstein stuff.
Uh and uh Patrick Byrne is I mean, he was a really rich guy.
He ran over stuff.
Absolutely.
unidentified
Like so he reveals that he knew Epstein?
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
Oh.
dan friesen
He almost went to Epstein Island.
He almost did it as an assassination mission.
jordan holmes
Oh, hell yes.
alex jones
Epstein.
Um, I've never seen any evidence of Trump.
And and anything to do with that.
And then his behavior the last 37 days, creating a strides and effect, he's not stupid.
What the hell's going on there from your sources?
patrick m byrne
I don't think he would I don't think he's I don't think he's been filmed on Epstein Island.
You know, I I've seen about two months before he was arrested, tried very hard to get me to come to Epstein Island.
Did I ever try that one?
unidentified
No.
patrick m byrne
I had this plan to go out and I figured, well, I f I figured I'll accept it and go out and murder him.
And then and we'll go for a long swim.
I'm a low, I like long distance swimming.
And I figured I would get Him out swimming and I could drown him.
I got in a pool with a guy about my size, and it turns out to be really a lot tougher to drown somebody than you think.
And then I found out about the cameras that there were cameras everywhere, and they said you're never gonna get away with it, so I didn't go murder him.
But he tried very hard.
And that's because the CIA knew what I had and what I already knew, and they didn't they won't so they were gonna try to blackmail us me.
So about a month before he got arrested, I had very three very strong overtures.
People came all the way to Utah to say, gosh, this Jeffrey Epstein, don't believe what you hear about him.
He's a wonderful guy.
He's got this big trading room, he really wants to meet you, Pat.
He really wants you to come out and talk to you.
By the way, he's really good friends with Bill Gates.
Don't believe what you hear in the he's he's very he's tied into all these elites.
You gotta come see his trading room.
He really wants to meet you.
dan friesen
This dude's nuts.
jordan holmes
Here's what I like about that story.
And I hope you caught what I caught.
dan friesen
Let's see.
jordan holmes
All right.
Um in his I'm gonna drown Epstein story.
The reason he does not drown Epstein is because he got a large man in a pool, comma.
Turns out it's very hard to drown someone, comma.
That's why I didn't go murder.
dan friesen
Well, no, that's not actually true.
You're you were not listening closely enough because this large man in a pool is a difficult.
This is a challenge.
But he could have risen to that challenge.
jordan holmes
I don't know.
dan friesen
It was the cameras.
The cameras were why he didn't do it.
jordan holmes
Sure, I think the cameras are a good way to say that, but come on.
The camera you're out, you're a long distance swimmer and there are cameras out that far.
Listen, if you had the gumption and the ability to strangle a large man in a pool, Epstein would have been dead.
No, that's all I'm saying.
That's all I'm saying.
He was afraid and he was weak.
dan friesen
No, see, this is this is glass half full, glass half empty kind of thinking.
I I think that if he hadn't found out about the cameras, sure, he would have worked on his drowning scope.
jordan holmes
Okay, okay.
I I'm not saying that you're wrong.
dan friesen
It's the cameras that were the deal breaker.
jordan holmes
Not I won't argue.
dan friesen
Not that it's hard to drown someone in a pool.
Patrick Byrne is an achiever.
unidentified
No, no, no.
jordan holmes
I understand.
He started a multi-billion dollar business.
I get you.
What I think is funnier about that is not that he could or could not have drowned this man.
It is that he had the idea, I'll go drown Epstein, but he's not going off half cocked.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
We're gonna practice first, of course.
dan friesen
Right, you don't want to get out there and realize in the moment this is too hard.
jordan holmes
Shit, I can't drown anybody.
dan friesen
Yeah.
That's embarrassing.
jordan holmes
So he's so if we're talking about a premeditated attempted murder, it doesn't get more obvious than when you've got a man in the pool trying to drown him for practice, drowning people.
Right.
Yeah.
dan friesen
I imagine what actually happened was that Patrick Byrne had done a little too much coke and uh tried to drown someone in a pool, and now has come up with a story to explain that helps.
I was practicing for Epstein.
jordan holmes
That would be listen, that would be of all the reasons to get fake drowned.
I think I might accept that one.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So uh Alex talks about how like Roger told him all along that Trump was never gonna release the Epstein stuff.
Just wasn't happening.
alex jones
No.
Why would Trump come out and create a Stryzhan effect and say uh he killed himself and don't ask questions or you're dumb.
Uh he has to know that would create a giant streason effect.
unidentified
Why?
patrick m byrne
Well, I don't think he's in the tapes, and his lawyer and all kinds of people who would know have said he's not involved.
alex jones
Oh, yeah, even Cohen hates him who says he's not.
Yeah, I think he worked there a decade and said he never heard a call from Epstein.
Maybe there's other people involved, and uh that's what I was told by Roger Stone off record.
Now he's been public.
He told me Robin Trump got re-elected.
He said, You're never getting it because the CIA was involved with your buddies the Massad, and they don't want to come out.
patrick m byrne
Yeah, I that would be my guess.
alex jones
Yeah.
patrick m byrne
That would be my guess.
But I don't know.
I don't have any side-in-side information on that one.
dan friesen
Well, I just know it is the fiasco fiascos and so this is an explanation that Alex is offering for how it's possible that Trump would cover up the Epstein stuff, but not be directly involved in it.
But I don't think he understands how unacceptable this explanation is.
If Trump is covering it up, then he's complicit with these people.
He's chosen their interests over justice and disclosure because holding the people involved responsible would be too disruptive.
This is horrible shit, but Alex is able to present it as exonerating Trump because the alternative is considering that maybe Trump was best friends with a serial child predator for a number of years.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
I don't know if it means anything, but I was fascinated by Alex's telling of what Roger told him.
Like, why does Alex say that Roger called Mossad your buddies?
I get that it's a joke, but it's a weird joke.
jordan holmes
It is a weird joke.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
It's not really a joke.
It's not funny.
I guess it's absurdist or like no, I don't get it.
dan friesen
Well, it hinges on either Alex hating Massad or working for them.
jordan holmes
Right, exactly.
dan friesen
Those are the ways that a joke could be leveraged.
jordan holmes
It would have to be.
dan friesen
And I don't know what the I don't know what the angle is.
jordan holmes
Maybe it's because people say he works for Massad, and that's his Roger fucking with him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That works.
dan friesen
But then if it's Roger fucking with him, then why is Alex repeating that in his telling of the story?
jordan holmes
It's weird.
They're such weird people.
dan friesen
They are.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But they're salesmen.
jordan holmes
That is true.
dan friesen
And so it comes time to get some of the methylene blue sales going.
alex jones
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Um, and uh man, Patrick fucks up.
jordan holmes
Oh.
dan friesen
This is no good.
alex jones
And then there's so much other news I haven't hit.
Now, you want to do the plug, and I appreciate this.
donald j trump
I do.
patrick m byrne
I came out.
alex jones
Because you came in saying I want more methylene blue, and then I looked over when you went on the air, you'd already slurped some down.
Your mouth was blue.
I said, Your pop is smurvious.
So so Peter Burn.
patrick m byrne
How much is the correct amount to put in?
About that much?
alex jones
Yeah, but Kennedy does three robbers.
This is really strong.
patrick m byrne
You gave me some last time, I think you gave it on air, and I thought it was a gimmick or you know, snake oil.
You totally feel the difference.
I used the bottle you gave me, it's great.
It totally makes it you can feel it.
It uh it it just keeps your energy level up and plateaued without bonks.
So I love it.
alex jones
I used the bottle you gave me, and I came back to Austin just to pick up an always get it at the Oliction Short.com, but we'll certainly give you all you want.
We also have the capsules, but we have the strongest medical grade.
dan friesen
So Patrick thought that what he was doing was saying that Alex's products aren't like the other things you find in the market, which are all snake oil.
What he failed to realize is the implication here is that when Alex suggested something, Patrick didn't take it seriously.
alex jones
Right.
dan friesen
Patrick's known Alex for a long time.
So his first assumption when he hears Alex selling a product is that it's snake oil and that it's a gimmick, and I don't care.
I'm not interested.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
He meant well, because he didn't realize this is what he was saying.
But it doesn't sit well with Alex.
So after they plug their way out to a commercial, they come back from a pre-recorded methylene blue ad, and then this happens.
jordan holmes
They're gonna do a second take.
dan friesen
Oh no.
They're gonna have a little therapy session.
jordan holmes
Uh-oh.
alex jones
Patrick, I'm not trying to get you to plug, though I I mean I am now.
You got cut off of the break.
You were saying as we got cut off.
You didn't come here to do a plug.
I wasn't thinking about methylene blue.
patrick m byrne
I brought it up and said, Alex, would you let me tell your viewers what an experience I had?
alex jones
Well, I I I love you, and you're a really smart guy, and you've been totally vindicated everything you've ever said, so I'm really impressed.
I always liked you, but you've got to tell you were spook before it ever came out in the news.
I was still always a little paranoid about any of that stuff.
But uh, I'm a little hurt though.
You're like, oh, I because I remember you're you were you're reticent.
I said, You want to try some of this?
You're like, really?
What is it?
You know, it's like, no, no, no.
And I'm a little hurt though that you would think that I it would be snake oil.
patrick m byrne
I I knew it wasn't snake oil, but I No, no, I understand, I understand.
alex jones
But I mean, listen, uh everything we sell, I want is is working and is good.
That's what I want.
I mean, I'd be like, I'm gonna serve dog shit to people there to come back.
But I mean, this thing is the most dramatic, quick album, and it's good for you.
It's just insane.
And if I could just get a few more percentages of the audience to buy it, all our problems will be solved.
You know, I'm back in state court Wednesday.
unidentified
Okay, this is coming off a little weak.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's amazing.
dan friesen
A little defensive.
jordan holmes
I do like I do like it.
Cause the old, you know, the it's a common trope in marketing.
The the like, well, I was skeptical too, but now I'm a believer, you know.
But there's a way to do it, and then there's a way to be like, Alex, you're a lying piece of shit.
But you know what?
This works.
dan friesen
No, the way you're supposed to do it is I've tried other methylene blues.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
And I just, you know, it didn't do what that it promised.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
I took yours.
I didn't think it was gonna work because of my experience with other versions of this product.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
Not, hey, Alex, you suggested something and I thought it was snake oil.
jordan holmes
Every time I buy something from you, it's bullshit.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
So I assumed that the next time I bought something from you, it would also be bullshit.
dan friesen
Or like, let's take the buying away from it because I don't necessarily believe anything.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
I just am on this side of the business, so I'm not an idiot.
I don't fall for your shtick.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Um, and so I wasn't expecting much, but this actually was good.
jordan holmes
There's plenty of ways to do it, but you've very clearly given up the game.
Alex is a lying piece of shit.
dan friesen
It was really funny when I was listening to this, I was like, uh the f at when the f as soon as he said that, I was like, Alex's not gonna like that.
And then when he came back from break and had to have this little heart to heart with him, I was like, Yep, that's exactly what I thought was gonna happen.
jordan holmes
This feels very called into the re uh general manager's office at a McDonald's or something like that.
You know, like you know, you can't you can't tell people the food's bad.
Yeah like you just can't like we're I understand maybe we're a fast food restaurant, maybe you're you prefer to be in all these fancy restaurants, but you know, you you can't tell our customers that the food they're buying is bad.
dan friesen
Yeah, look, I'm I'm legitimizing you.
I'm telling everyone that you've been vindicated about everything.
I'm holding up my end of the bargain.
Don't piss in my juice colour.
jordan holmes
Come on, man.
Yeah.
dan friesen
So um the the two of them, they they uh they're they're fine with uh with the whole federalizing DC thing.
jordan holmes
Sure, of course.
dan friesen
And it's mostly I think I think a lot of their feelings come down to like the homeless are too cocky.
jordan holmes
That'll happen.
alex jones
Trump's definitely taking the gloves off with things like federalizing DC.
patrick m byrne
Yeah, right on.
Right on.
We should have pride in our nation's capital.
I don't think that homeless people are be punished, but there's been a general breakdown in civility and an understanding of rule of law, you know, for anything.
alex jones
Well, they've taken advantage, and then the NGOs that run the homeless make money off of it.
They have like barbecue pits out, and they're just injecting drugs right in front of everybody and breaking into our houses.
Austin's been turned into a hellhole by these people.
patrick m byrne
I know.
I've I heard you talking about it.
alex jones
What about our rights?
patrick m byrne
I used to come to Austin to see the Grateful Dead whenever they played here.
Love that you got great things.
And Austin was such a jewel.
I'm talking decades ago, and even even ten years ago I came here to see.
alex jones
It all changed six years ago.
patrick m byrne
Yeah.
alex jones
They inv the NGOs for all the homeless to come here, and now it's like an open toilet.
dan friesen
Oh my god.
So uh yeah, you uh I mean, one of the things about Alex is like consistency.
And you never hear him complaining about this kind of stuff six years, seven years ago.
Like before that, he was totally chill.
Um that is not true.
Is a piece of shit.
They have they have barbecue pits.
jordan holmes
Why does it happen?
It just happens to everybody.
Like every man turns into this some form of this piece of shit at at some point.
Like, like it's when I was younger, it was kind of cool to grow up in a dangerous place.
You know, like you had you had something cool going on, and then later on when you were out of that dangerous place, you could be like, I grew up in a dangerous place.
Don't fucking treat me like I'm from the suburbs, you know, but you live in the suburbs, and then you become Alex Jones being like, There's too many homeless people in the suburbs.
Like it just stop it.
Put give him a place to live or something, but just don't be an old man that bitches about it all the time.
Right.
dan friesen
And and I think that the mentality that they're approaching this with is so fraudulent because Patrick's like, I don't want the people to be punished, but everything about society is punishing them right now, and you want it to be worse on top of it.
Right.
Yeah.
A large portion of what they're experiencing is is societal punishment.
Yeah.
And the way you solve this is definitely not take away their uh barbecue pit or whatever.
There is a path that involves alleviating this, reducing harm in hopes of reintegrating, getting people stability.
jordan holmes
Uh just that just that idea.
Just that idea of like, oh, there's a schizophrenic in my backyard, and I want them to be punished.
Like at no point in time do you think like, oh, this is a person with a disease who needs treatment.
dan friesen
But what's fascinating about that is out of the other side of his mouth, Alex is pretending that Trump is trying to get medical help for drug uh drug users, and it can't possibly be a police state if he's trying to do that.
It's nonsense.
jordan holmes
You it like I don't want to help people, but I don't want them to feel good.
dan friesen
It's a pr it's a pretend empathetic approach.
Yeah.
And what's really behind it is a desire to see these people who are in vulnerable positions and have essentially no power in society be crushed and just taken out of his view.
I don't want to see this.
jordan holmes
But it's not even that.
It's even more fucked up than that.
Because if you were to just provide an actual fucking solution of like, hey, we got empty places, we're gonna put them there.
We're just gonna get them out of your you were mad that you see them.
So now they have a place to live.
dan friesen
That's socialism.
jordan holmes
They'd be like, no, that's not fair that they have a place to live.
And it's like so hand out.
So you just want to view people in a worse situation than you, and then whenever things get worse, you want them to be even worse off than you are.
dan friesen
Yeah.
As an excuse.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
It's disgusting.
jordan holmes
It's disgusting.
dan friesen
So we got one last clip here because uh after he talks to uh Patrick Byrne, he has his gold sponsor in, and this episode seems like a lot of paid programming.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Um but I thought that Patrick Byrne admitted to something that Alex should be really worried about in in this clip.
jordan holmes
Continuing to love the Russians.
patrick m byrne
This stuff is finally happening, so I don't want to jinx it.
It's finally happening as it should.
It should have happened, I thought January 21.
I thought on January 20th, Flynn said jokingly, he said, you know, Trump's gonna have you, well skydive in to the mall as he's giving his inauguration speech for certain things I did that aren't out yet.
I knew that was an exaggeration, but I thought on January 20th, I start getting some help.
You can't believe on January like 21st, I was bouncing around on the roof of a catamaran off Bahamas in a terrible storm because I was setting up to smuggle some people into the United States.
I got no help until about March 10th, because there's so many people within the government.
What do you do?
I wish Trump would replace at least the top 1500 with you know there's all kinds of military.
alex jones
Yeah, we need a real purge.
patrick m byrne
Yeah.
There's people from Green Berets who go on to Wall Street, they learn Wall Street and such, they learn finance.
Let them come and staff the f the treasury building.
Let we restaff the top of the government out of the sc Green Beret.
alex jones
Yeah, let's be clear.
We already have a globalist coup.
We're not gonna fix it playing patty cake.
dan friesen
Hey, bro, are you a human trafficker?
jordan holmes
What is happening?
dan friesen
Yeah, dude.
jordan holmes
I was about to smuggle some people into the United States and I didn't have any help for obvious reasons.
How is that?
How why would you expect help when smuggling people into the United States?
Why would you expect help from the United States when smuggling people into the United States?
dan friesen
I I understand that there are, you know, some people uh you know, there are circumstances where it's like refugees or something.
Maybe you can make an argument for why it's not a you know hideously immoral act to smuggle people.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
But it is still human trafficking, it's still the movement of people illegally works.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
What are you talking about, Byrne?
jordan holmes
What are you are you a coyote?
alex jones
A catamaran coyote.
jordan holmes
Is he out here?
What how did you how do you find yourself in this situation?
All right, so here I was trying to smuggle people in.
dan friesen
Look, I had an idea for overstock.com.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Shit got way out of hand.
alex jones
He got way out of hand.
jordan holmes
I'm I'm in love with a Russian spy.
Then I'm smuggling people in.
dan friesen
She didn't love me.
jordan holmes
And what I want is for the Green Berets who went to Wall Street to rule the world.
dan friesen
All they have to do is read a book.
jordan holmes
Why not send the Wall Street people to Green Beret school?
Probably because they'd die.
dan friesen
Maybe.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Um, so yeah, I thought that was really silly.
And Alex, if uh if he was paying any attention, should have been like, uh, hey man, uh what did you just admit to?
jordan holmes
How can you just say that and not get any follow-up questions about that?
What did you just I'm sorry?
This whole show is over.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You and me, you're smuggling people in.
Why?
How?
Who hired you?
Are you hired?
Do you do this for free?
Where are you from?
dan friesen
Is this check gonna clear?
Um boy.
So yeah, I thought that was silly.
And then the fact that it all just kind of pivots into like, yeah, you know what, the military should be in charge of the government is is crazy.
Uh Trump's actions in DC are totally fine.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Uh Alex wants to purge the government and replace them with military.
jordan holmes
Everything's going great.
dan friesen
And he wants to invade Mexico.
This does not insane.
jordan holmes
Sound at all like 1930s uh Italy.
This is not no, nothing at all like that.
dan friesen
Um it's just uh like uh what I come back to over and over again is like trying to find the words that articulate how much this is comical for it to be what Alex is doing.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
And I can't I can't figure out how to just say what is self-evident.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Anyone who's ever paid attention to what his career means and what it's built on, yeah, would see this and be like, this is a farce.
unidentified
It it let's what would I say?
jordan holmes
It defies the word hyperbole.
There cannot be any hyperbole about a situation that is as extremely itself as it's possible to be.
Right?
Like you can't be like, oh, this would be like if Alex said that it was okay to be in a police state.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Because this is Alex saying it's okay to be in a police state.
Like what else is there to say?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I don't know.
jordan holmes
I will see here's what it here's what there is to say.
You can learn something from anybody.
And what we've learned today is that if you're gonna go try and drown somebody, practice in a pool first.
That's a good piece of advice.
dan friesen
Can I be honest with you?
jordan holmes
What's that?
dan friesen
I really pictured him in a kiddie pool.
jordan holmes
I did you I here's my imagination, right?
Because I know he's a rich guy.
So my imagination is he's basically got an Olympic sized pool in like his backyard.
And he's got a guy he's like, hey buddy, let's go for a swim together.
And they're going for a long swim and yeah and the big guy starts to get tired and he's like now I got him.
Boom and he jumps on and then they the guy realizes that he can stand up in the water.
dan friesen
I um I picture Byrne as a bit of a cartoon character.
jordan holmes
I see that.
dan friesen
And so my mind went to him and a big guy in a kiddie pool and wrestling in with a kid is fucking hard.
jordan holmes
Yeah that works.
dan friesen
Wearing like a propeller beanie yeah of course naturally I I think he is a tremendous shithead.
But he has the potential to have some swings.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
You know like there's there's an energy that we've missed of the I was planning to murder Epstein.
jordan holmes
I was planning to murder Epstein is the best way to start any conversation.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
There's another clip uh in here that I didn't cut out where he was explaining why the Venezuelan government has a bounty out on him.
Uh and so like he has big stories like Steve.
I love it.
jordan holmes
I love it.
dan friesen
I want more of that energy 100% more of the fake butter.
Let's do it.
We're getting back into shape.
jordan holmes
So I was out here I was gonna murder Epstein I had this whole huge plan and then I tried it out and it's hard to I that's amazing.
That's just amazing.
dan friesen
Again it was the camera.
So amazing amazing so uh we'll be back and see how Alex uh gets more and more acquainted with and uh falling in love with a police state but until then uh 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 I am the mysterious professor.
unidentified
Woo yeah woo yeah woo and now here comes the sex robot.
alex jones
Andy and Kansas you're on the air thanks for holding Hello Alex I'm a first time caller I'm a huge fan.
jordan holmes
I love your work.
