In this installment, Dan and Jordan tune in to watch Alex Jones defend Trump taking over DC and try his best to pretend that it's totally not a police state move, while he also advocates for the military taking over the civilian government.
Knowledge fight Dan and Jordan, I am sweating Knowledge fight dot com, it's time to pray I have great respect for knowledge fight Knowledge fight I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys saying we are the bad guys Knowledge fight Dan and Jordan Knowledge fight Need money Andy and Pamphy Andy and
Pamphy Stop it Andy and Pamphy Andy and Kansas Andy It's time to pray Andy and Kansas you're on the air Thanks for holding us So Alex, I'm the first Tim Collins to be here today and I love your work Knowledge Fight Not knowledgefight dot com I love you Hey everybody, welcome back to Knowledge Fight I'm Dan.
We're a couple of guys like to sit around, worship at the altar of Celine and talk a little about Alex Joe Oh, indeed we are Dan Jordan Dan, I have a quick question for you Uh huh?
So I, our friend, friend of the show and old buddy, Daniel Scharr, is doing his not new year Sex for Work one man show out in New York and East Hampton, Massachusetts nice.
in early September.
And I wanted to give a plug for that.
Tell people if they're in the area and they want tickets, they should go get them and go check out his fun one man show full of filth and heart.
I mean, 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 transform like sex into just an observational thing as opposed to being a turn on thing or something like that.
You know, like you're an adult, you've seen that shit.
And we got a Technicrat in the big, so thank you so much too.
In episode twelve at the one hour fifty 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 Scatman Dan.
I know it's fashionable to say that Trump is totally screwing over America and gone back on his promises and that he is.
is 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.
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, Alex is in a 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 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.
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, 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 In info wars of the moment, but it's not because of anything that Nick did or didn't do or any credibility or 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 alphaed by a young Nazi like Nick.
He would have been able to maintain his cutting edgeness.
Due to an excessive fealty to Trump and a tragic friendship with Roger Stone, Alex has 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.
Many of you have been listening for ten, twenty, thirty years.
Most of you for years.
You've heard me tell you that there wasn't going to be any indictments of the deep state in the first Trump administration because I knew that Sessions was weak.
I knew Barr was ultra bad.
And 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.
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 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 18, 2016, Alex said, quote, He's now announced that his Attorney General should be confirmed by the Senate, Senator Jeff Sessions, that's going to happen.
Very honorable man.
Could not think of a better choice.
That guy does not deal in politics when it comes to justice.
People better look out.
And let me tell you, Hillary is going to get big trouble.
Jeff Sessions never compromises, never backs down, and is one of the best people we've got in our government.
He shouldn't be allowed to go back and listen to 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.
Barr 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 going to get some indictments going.
They tried to rationalize that the only reason Trump would appoint someone like Barr is because Barr's a closer and he knows how to get results.
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 going to do that.
And the only reason you do this is because you want like you want that this time I'm serious.
No, I mean, it is, it is like I think if I, if I boil down what 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.
Now, there's also huge news on the Ukraine warfront, the biggest s s s.
And it just confirms exactly what I said because I've followed Trump's policies, I've followed his deal making, I've followed what he said.
People sit back and don't listen to it.
If Zelenskyy doesn't take this deal that's already done, that's already agreed to, he's going to formalize it.
Friday in Alaska with Putin and Trump, Trump is going to 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.
There will be a ceasefire before the elections, and then the Russians will back.
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 a 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.
That threat came after Russia bombed a US owned factory in Ukraine that produced consumer electronics and had no connection to weapons or the war effort or anything.
Trump did not solve this war with that summit.
and the situation Alex is describing is his fantasy of what was going to happen.
And it just strikes me the same as like the this war will be over in 48 hours.
I mean, I just imagine myself not as lick, 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.
And if Trump can get this done, that alone is wonderful, and it was worth getting him into office and all we've gone through.
But the RFK junior 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.
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 add 30 new seats for themselves and just the country's done.
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 his attractors don't believe 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 going to stab me in the back, Trump.
And I was told when he first got in seven months ago, you're not going to get the Epstein stuff.
It's not going to happen.
Not going to go on.
I've talked to prosecutors.
Roger Stone told me that.
He's now said it on the show that yes, he did say that.
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?
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 hising 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.
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, this is real this time.
I know, listen, I know it's awful, but also you also have to know that a lot of those troops are like standing somewhere just going, what are we doing?
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 them medical help.
The Democrats were the ones training under Clinton and then Obama, and it happened under Bush too, to fight constitutional terrorists and their main mission, the main threat was militias and white supremacists, all this made up stuff.
And then they get them and say, The number one crime in America, it's rampant, white supremacists killing black people and Asians.
So I wrote thousands of words and erased 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.
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 is impossible.
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.
Every once in a while, some crazy white supremacist goes and kills some innocent black people, and man, it's the end of the world, it's all you ever hear about, but it is statistically incredibly rare.
I looked the numbers up, if you average out white supremacists killing black people over the last twenty years, there's about five black people a year.
And that's too many, but I mean, it is rare, rare, rare, rare, rare.
But now, oh, martial law, oh my gosh, Ice is illegal, they're arresting illegals.
You can see that Alex's views, 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 forty eight 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 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 guards.
State's 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.
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 the world, this is when Alex Jones, why you have one.
Well, there's a pedophile billionaire in the White House with a very small group of other pedophile billionaires who run the world who's creating a fake emergency in order to militarize the police in the capital.
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, 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 fucking hates that shit.
The person that he pretends to be and wants to be is someone that has to make really, really difficult choices and oftentimes they go against what would be in their direct self interest.
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.
I've been in Detroit and they say it's super scary.
I've been in different areas.
No, not really.
Statistically, you know, crime.
I grew up in Dallas.
It was the murder capital of the US.
Off and on between Chicago.
So, I mean, they had like 14 murders a day when I was a kid.
So, I mean, it was like, you know, muggings all over., car jackings and home invasions and not, I mean, it's pretty wild.
And DC is scarier than growing up in 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 if you want to have some racist stuff said to you because you're white, that's the place to go.
As to his point about growing up in Dallas, like, first off, there were absolutely not fourteen murders a day in Dallas in the eighties.
1988 was the year of that decade that had the highest total number of murders, and it was 366 for the whole year.
Right.
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, instead they're out actually aiding the police eyes and ears and just their presence is going to make crime drop dramatically.
And Trump told the homeless, this city isn't here for you.
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 and 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 their legs?
Well, I Yeah, I think you'd run into everyone bickering about like what the stats are, what they mean.
I think you would end up with kind of maybe an unfortunately meaningless dataset that wouldn't tell you if this actually achieved whatever goal you wanted it to or not.
An argument could be made in both directions, probably based on whatever the results are.
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 say if they were referring to 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.
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 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 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 he actually mad about?
Positions that he was trying to hide behind that facade of police state outrage.
Yeah, I mean, there's no other way to say it, but if ever there was going to be a universal like, well, January 6 wasn't that bad of an idea, it's got to be now.
Like there's it's a police state in DC.
What do you want?
What do you want?
unidentified
No, you know, like whatever argument you want to have, what do you want?
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.
He doesn't have any idea conceptually, just that he's like, I could do that better.
Alex doesn't 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.
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 core beliefs is a little I mean, the National Guard has called into DC to cover the place.
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 then watch a clip of Alex Jones having to defend the absolutely worst shit I've ever done.
If I would support a 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.
The 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.
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 alive in the early fifteen hundreds.
Conversely, the Amish grew out of the Anabaptist Reformation that went down in Switzerland also in the fifteen hundreds.
The radical departure that the Anabaptists made from the existing church was that 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 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 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 Nihao and it's privately owned.
The census says that there's one hundred 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 Neihau from the Kingdom of Hawaii for ten thousand bucks in gold in eighteen sixty four, 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 have 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.
It's kind of bullshit because the family also imposes a bunch of artificial rules on the indigenous 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 Nihau culture to remain as long as it conforms to what they want it to be.
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 fifty people living on Neihau.
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 all that stuff.
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.
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, Byrne founded overstock dot com, but he resigned in 2019 when it came out that he' had been in a relationship with Russian spy Maria Bettina.
She pledged guilty of conspiracy 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.
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.
She served a few months in jail and then was deported to Russia in 2019 where she went on to work for RT.
In 2021 she was elected to the Russian Duma, but her candidacy was almost derailed by revelations made by now dead Alexei Navalny that Byrne was still sending her large sums of money in 2021.
So what are you going to 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.
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.
I think that the way the vibe that this interview goes to is that like Alex doesn't seem that engaged at the beginning and then realizes I can work with this.
I had this plan to go out and I figured, well, I figured I'll accept it and go out and murder him.
And then we'll go for a long swim.
I'm a little I like long distance swimming.
I feared if I would get him out swimming I could drown him.
I got in a pool with a guy about my size and it turned out to be really a lot harder to drown someone 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, so they were going to try to blackmail 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.
I imagine what actually happened was that Patrick Byrne had done a little too much coca and tried to drown someone in a pool and now he's come up with a story to explain that helps.
He told me when Robin Trump got re-elected, he said, You're never gonna get it because the CIA was involved with your buddies, the Mossad, and they don't want to come out.
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.
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 has 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 do like it because 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.
It was really funny when I was listening to this, I was like, as soon as he said that, I was like, Alex is not going to like that.
Alex is not going to like.
And then when you 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 going to happen.
This feels very called into the general manager's office at a McDonald's or something like that, you know, like, Hey, you know, you can't you can't tell people the food's bad.
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 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.
So we got one last clip here because after he talks to Patrick Byrne, he has his gold sponsor in, and this episode seems like a lot of paid programming.
Yeah.
But I thought that Patrick Byrne admitted to something that Alex should be really worried about in this clip.
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 20, Flynn said jokingly, he said, you know, Trump's going to have you, well, parachute into the mall as he's giving his inauguration speech for certain things I did that are not out yet.
I knew that was an exaggeration, but I thought on january 20 I'd start getting some help.
You can't believe, on january 21, 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 10 because there are so many people within the government.
Yeah, there's people from the Green Berets who go on to Wall Street, they learn Wall Street and such, they learn finance, let them come and staff the Treasury building.
Let us reestaff the top of the government out of the Green Berets.
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 crazy.
It's just like 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.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I can't figure out how to just say what is self evident.
Yeah.
Anyone who's ever paid attention to what his career means and what it's built on Yeah.
