Hello, Alex.
I'm a fish trend color with you just saying, I love your room.
unidentified
Knowledge fight.
alex jones
Knowledgefight.com.
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
I'm Jordan.
dan friesen
We're a couple dudes.
Like to sit around, worship at the altar of Celine, and talk a little bit about Alex Jersey.
unidentified
Oh, indeed we are.
jordan holmes
Dean.
unidentified
Jordan.
jordan holmes
Dan.
dan friesen
Jordan.
jordan holmes
Quick question for you.
What's your bright spot today, buddy?
dan friesen
My bright spot today.
Let's get back to MacGyver.
jordan holmes
Let's get back there.
dan friesen
So watch the next episode of MacGyver.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
No kisses.
jordan holmes
No smooches?
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
No ants.
dan friesen
No ants.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
The bad guys in this episode were some fellas who stolen a Brinks truck.
jordan holmes
Are they bad guys?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
All right.
They've taken over an airport, a little small airport.
So MacGyver's going out.
He's trying to go fishing at this place that him and his dad used to go to back when he was a kid.
Okay.
Takes a wrong turn.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Ends up going to this airport trying to get directions.
jordan holmes
What are you going to do?
dan friesen
Right.
It has been taken over by thieves.
jordan holmes
Just so happens.
dan friesen
Tiny little airport.
So they take MacGyver hostage along with the rest of the people.
Huge mistake.
jordan holmes
Huge mistake.
dan friesen
And chaos ensues, and a guy heals from his trauma about Vietnam.
jordan holmes
That's good.
That's nice.
It's wrapped up in a good 45-minute episode.
dan friesen
Most of the story, a lot of it hinges on whether or not this guy is willing to fly a helicopter in order to save everyone there.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Because he swore after Vietnam he would never fly another helicopter.
And so he finally finds it within himself.
jordan holmes
I mean, I suppose that's a positive.
I mean, I like a guy who sticks to his guns, even in the face of adversity.
But I understand the guy sentencing everybody to death is probably not a good TV character.
Yeah.
dan friesen
So instead of kisses, there is sort of like MacGyver being the best guy in the world.
Right.
Because the guy who's recovering from Vietnam is in love with the waitress from this airport.
Right.
And they just can't get it together because he can't get over Na.
jordan holmes
Right.
Right.
dan friesen
And so like by encouraging him to fly this helicopter, he has allowed them to love each other once more.
jordan holmes
It deserves a peck on the cheek at least.
dan friesen
No.
Nope.
jordan holmes
Come on.
dan friesen
Nope.
MacGyver is selfless with the kisses.
jordan holmes
I don't know when smooches became MacGyver's thing, but I like it.
I appreciate it.
dan friesen
Well, I think it was because there were two in the first episode where it was jarring.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that's just too bad.
dan friesen
Now, this episode also features a young Jackie Earl Haley.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
Not that young.
jordan holmes
Not the kid Jackie Earl Haley.
dan friesen
Not like Bad News Bears.
jordan holmes
No, adolescent Jackie Earl Haley.
Yeah.
dan friesen
He plays one of the creeps who's taken over the airport.
One of the criminals.
jordan holmes
Man, did he say that you guys aren't locked up here with me?
I'm like, wait, no.
I think I got it backwards.
dan friesen
You're doing a Rorschach?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No.
He doesn't do that, but he does.
I'm a youth.
He's a lot younger than the other criminals.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Anyway, it was fun.
I'm excited to keep watching, although I will say that this one was a little bit of a meh compared to ants.
jordan holmes
I mean, come on.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Ants are like a season finale.
You can't just ants in the like sixth episode.
What is that?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's way early on.
dan friesen
So what's your bright spot?
jordan holmes
My bright spot is: I met my childhood best friend for lunch.
Yay.
He reached out and was like, ah, I exist.
And I was like, wow, me too.
We were alive at the same time.
And then we went and had lunch.
He's a great person.
Nice.
Which is cool because I was thinking about this afterwards.
I was like, considering where we're from, considering where the world is and how it's heading and how it changed while we were growing up, the chances are much higher for both of us to be horrible people.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
The odds are not in your favor.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
So that the two of us worked out made me think maybe there was truly something of like when we were growing up, we influenced each other to keep us from being pieces of shit later on in life.
dan friesen
I doubt it.
jordan holmes
You know, I kind of doubt that too.
dan friesen
But it was nice to see credit for him being decent.
unidentified
No, no, no.
jordan holmes
I was going far the other direction.
dan friesen
He was responsible for you being decent.
jordan holmes
He's basically kept me from throwing my life away.
Or, I guess, maybe becoming the most popular right-wing podcaster there's ever been.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
There were only two options for me.
dan friesen
Well, one's still available to you later.
unidentified
Sure, sure.
jordan holmes
That'll happen.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's always on the horizon.
jordan holmes
It could be.
dan friesen
But yeah.
I'm glad you had a good time.
And reconnecting is always a little bit scary, a little bit stressful beforehand, but I think it always is nice.
I think it usually is nice.
jordan holmes
I mean, it could have been even, it could have even been fine, but it was great.
dan friesen
That's awesome.
Well, congratulations.
Today is not going to be great.
jordan holmes
That is unexpected.
dan friesen
But it is a meeting of friends.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
And there are some friends that we'll talk about on this episode.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
But first, before we get into any of this, let's take a moment to say hello to some new wonks.
jordan holmes
Ooh, that's a great idea.
dan friesen
So, first, from the king of cats, forget the frogs, stepdad to my bisexual roommate's bisexual cat who gets bullied by my girlfriend, my girl Yannefer.
I'm sorry.
Thank you so much.
You're an Iow policy wonk.
I'm sorry.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
dan friesen
Says I'm sorry at the end.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Next, taking a fist full of super male vitality and backstroking at Barton Springs.
Then hum the jaws theme.
unidentified
Da-dum.
Da-dum.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
dan friesen
Thank you so much.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
And I will karate chop you if you land in Shenzhen or Hong Kong.
And I'm swimming in rare earth minerals here in China.
Thank you so much.
You're now policywonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
unidentified
Thank you very much.
dan friesen
Hey, go.
And we got a technical editor in the mix, Jordan.
So thank you so much, too.
The episode numbers jump from 425 to 427, and I'm filled to the brim with righteous indignation.
Release the 426 cut.
Thank you so much.
You're an Iowa Technocrat.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
unidentified
Four stars.
alex jones
Go home for your mother and tell her you're brilliant.
Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop.
Daddy Shark.
Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb.
Jarjar Binks has a Caribbean black accent.
unidentified
He's a loser, little, little kitty baby.
alex jones
I don't want to hate black people.
I renounce Jesus Christ.
dan friesen
Unfortunately, Todd Snyder owns that episode.
We're not allowed to.
jordan holmes
Well, that was the one where we found out that both our mom's names were Martha.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
And that allowed us to, I guess, connect on a more emotional level.
dan friesen
And we no longer own the rights.
jordan holmes
Right, that's true.
dan friesen
So, Jordan, today, like I said, we're talking about some friends.
And that is, I wanted to branch out a little bit and see what was going on in some of the other people in the Alex Overseas.
unidentified
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
dan friesen
And it just so happened that Alex was recently on his trainer, Sean Johnson's podcast.
Sean Johnson got a podcast.
jordan holmes
Why wouldn't you?
dan friesen
Not Sean Johnson, the Olympic gold medal gymnast who won Dancing with the Stars.
jordan holmes
Yes.
Very different one.
dan friesen
That's not.
jordan holmes
She does not train Alex Jones.
That would be an interesting twist, though.
dan friesen
It would.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It would.
No, this is a guy who's a former enlisted guy.
Sure.
And someone who has no juice.
jordan holmes
Probably in really good shape, though.
dan friesen
Yes.
I think that is definitely fair to say.
He is yoked.
Yep.
But I don't think he has a lot of charisma.
And so I wanted to see what these other figures were like.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
Because we only really know him as a name that Alex brings up.
That's true.
And so, hey, let's see what they're all about.
jordan holmes
I would be delighted to see what they're all about.
dan friesen
So what it turns out they're all about is ripping off Rogan.
alex jones
Are you not entertained?
Is this not why you're here?
unidentified
Rolling.
All right.
alex jones
Rolling, rolling, rolling.
Keep them doggies moving.
shawn b johnson
Episode 23, Alex Jones, the man.
alex jones
Nope, Sean B. Johnson's the man.
shawn b johnson
No, no, sir.
unidentified
No.
shawn b johnson
You're paving the way for young guys like us.
What you're doing is incredible.
Thank you for coming on.
alex jones
You bet.
Love it.
dan friesen
That just feels like a Rogan opening to me.
There's this music.
There's a little sound drop of, are you not entertained?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
You know, Rogan as the train by day, Rogan podcast at night.
You know, like, there's this intro, and then it's as if we're just rolling.
We're just rolling.
We're just starting the conversation.
Like, it just aesthetically is a, it feels like a cheap knockoff.
jordan holmes
It is when you're being an artificial performer, you know, you're acting.
You're saying somebody else's words.
But you're, you know, you're a mechanical person existing within this job, right?
A level of quality is how well you pull it off, how well you make it look like it's not artificial at all.
This is not that.
This is very much artificial as shit.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
This is like an AI making a podcast about, like, make a Rogan show.
dan friesen
Yeah, and I think it's a testament to how heavily influenced all of these people in that sphere are.
Yeah.
That, like, I don't know if they can really conceive of much else but doing another Rogan thing.
And it sucks because they're not Rogan.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, creativity isn't really rewarded in their spheres either.
dan friesen
True.
And at the end of the day, when you really look at it, what he did wasn't that creative.
Like, Rogan wasn't that creative.
jordan holmes
He just got there early.
dan friesen
Yeah, and he was really good at being high.
alex jones
Yep.
jordan holmes
Boy, the world.
dan friesen
So Sean starts off this interview by asking about the recent news that the Supreme Court is not interested in Alex's appeal.
jordan holmes
Not at all.
dan friesen
And so he asks about that, and Alex has a take.
shawn b johnson
I know we wanted to get you back on here as soon as possible because the verdict just came back.
They are not going to hear your appeal with the Supreme Court.
And so I don't want to talk about anything else.
Let's jump right into that.
What the fuck is going on?
alex jones
And we were also layering into the latest on Charlie Kirk, Trump, but it all ties together.
This is a lot bigger than just me.
We've sued them.
It's come out in court that Obama put me under National Security Investigation 2013 and Comey.
Those items were released by the Trump administration about seven months ago.
And they had a drag net and were looking for something criminal to put me in jail.
And even once Trump got in 2016, 2017, it still continued on.
Trump never got control of the Justice Department.
And so they settled, and I've admitted this, on claiming I said and did things concerning Sandy Hook I've never even said.
Years of discovery and then found nothing wrong.
So they claimed that I didn't give them evidence that they claim existed with no proof.
dan friesen
So that answer that Alex gives is interesting, I think, on two fronts.
The first is that he's saying that the courts claim that he failed to turn over evidence with no proof.
He's arguing that they insisted that Alex held a piece of evidence that he wasn't giving them.
But in reality, this evidence didn't exist.
They were demanding him turn over something that wasn't real.
So this is essentially a trap that he got put into.
In a situation like this, it's very difficult to prove that someone's withholding evidence without knowing what that evidence is.
In Alex's case, though, the court absolutely knows that he withheld evidence because his lawyer accidentally sent the plaintiff's lawyers in Texas part of Alex's phone records.
In Discovery, Alex was required to turn over all communications that he had that mentioned a ton of key terms, including Sandy Hook.
And he turned over a bunch of stuff, but it appeared incomplete.
When his text messages were accidentally sent to the lawyers, there was one where Paul Joseph Watson was warning him that this COVID stuff that he was doing was, quote, Sandy Hook all over again, which should have been turned over in Discovery.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but that one's really incriminating.
dan friesen
Yeah.
The fact that this text wasn't produced in Discovery irrefutably proves that there was material that Alex was required to turn over to the court that he did not.
There is rock-solid proof that he didn't comply fully and appropriately with Discovery.
So when he's saying that they say I didn't turn over everything with no evidence, it's so often very easy to make that argument.
And he is one of the few cases where you can't.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it is, it is like to the point where I feel it escalates to a moral obligation to say, yeah, you got me.
You know, like this was, you got me.
You got, you got me.
Like if we're in a dunk tank, bullseye, you're in the water, you know?
But how is it?
How can we live in a world where he's still allowed to say you didn't get me?
That's bullshit.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Right?
dan friesen
It is.
It is.
It's a refutation of the continuity of reality.
jordan holmes
It makes you question what is real.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
If this is allowed.
dan friesen
He can't possibly ever be held to account for anything if this is not.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's, I mean, it's there.
Like, it makes you scream things like it's there.
dan friesen
So the second thing there is that Alex's story about this case seems to have changed.
For years, it was started by Hillary Clinton because she was too afraid of Alex's connection with Trump.
She wanted to destroy Trump, so she cooked up a case against Alex to attack Trump by extension.
But now Obama started this in 2013?
The fuck are we talking about?
jordan holmes
Yeah, I thought we were in the 2015 region is when she started bringing everything back to the fore.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
jordan holmes
Now it goes deeper still?
How could I believe that?
dan friesen
So this is about some FOIA documents that came out recently that showed that the FBI was assessing, quote, white racially motivated extremists in 2013.
It says nothing about Alex.
It's just kind of understood by all these media figures that he is a white identity extremist.
So this must have been Obama trying to crush him.
I can say this with no uncertainty.
If Clinton, Obama, or Biden were half as inclined toward dictatorship as Trump is, Alex would be in prison right now.
He has committed crimes, and the only thing that's protected him is that his enemies believe in upholding the traditions and protections that our legal system affords.
He is living free because other people believe in the rules that he pretends to care about.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, I know it would be a tough sell, but it would be something where I would consider it much more cleanly if Obama had been like, guys, listen, I get it, but I'm just going to take this one off the board.
This one's me.
I'm just going to take this one off the board.
Come what may.
I think it makes more sense than to go through all of your bullshit.
But you know what?
Chess is the way it is.
Bye.
You know, I would have been able to accept more of that argument.
dan friesen
I believe in the rule of law.
Everything is very important.
Seriously, fuck this guy in Texas.
jordan holmes
Listen, 100%, I am all on board with the law.
I'm a lawyer.
Fuck that guy.
Let's get him.
dan friesen
So Alex believes and argues that there was fake evidence that was used against him in court.
Right.
And so he says that.
And Sean asks him, like, what?
What was the fake evidence?
Uh-oh.
alex jones
They had two show trials produced three years ago where I was already found guilty by the judge.
The judges instruct the jury I'm guilty.
And they put on all this fake evidence.
I'm not allowed to challenge it.
And Texas had a $45 million judgment, and Connecticut a $1.4 billion.
shawn b johnson
What was that evidence?
What's this fake evidence that they put out?
alex jones
Well, when a judge defaults you, then they're still supposed to put on a trial on damages, but even that wasn't real.
So it was just completely rigged.
jordan holmes
That's an impression.
alex jones
Now they've done that to Mike Lindell and my pillow.
shawn b johnson
I just saw that.
alex jones
Where a federal judge said, I decide you're guilty.
dan friesen
Sean doesn't get that he's not supposed to ask a question like that.
He's just supposed to nod along and say, oh my God, they were so mean to you, Alex.
This is the kind of question an actual interviewer might come up with because it's interesting.
And if Alex was telling the truth, it would lead to some good conversation.
Alex is just making up that they presented fake evidence, though.
So if you ask him what the fake evidence is, he doesn't have an answer.
And that kind of reveals the illusion of this whole thing.
He has no answer.
So you can see how Alex has to awkwardly change the subject and see if he can get some momentum going in another direction.
Talking about my pillow.
See if we can get Sean to forget what his question was to begin with.
jordan holmes
Yeah, you'd really think he's had a lot of time to find that fake evidence at this point in time.
Or at least make up some of your own.
Fucking, you're using the contracts that fake George Soros made for Antifa.
Make up a contract for, we're using fake evidence against Alex Jones.
I think Obama signed it.
dan friesen
Well, I think one of the issues that Alex has is he has to stay pretty vague on this because I do think that if he were to say that the lawyers introduced fake evidence and use a specific, they would fuck him.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
You might be able to be able to get him into court real fast with that.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
Right, right.
You can't do it to lawyers.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Then you'll get in trouble.
dan friesen
They're a fake.
jordan holmes
You can do it to parents.
Come on.
dan friesen
I think that I think he understands that the hammer could fall pretty quick if he was accusing them of committing crimes within a courtroom.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And so he used to keep it vague and be like, oh, the whole trial was fake evidence.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, right.
dan friesen
It's fucking nonsense.
jordan holmes
I do like that.
I do like a good.
Hold on, hold on.
This whole thing is imaginary.
unidentified
Oh, all right.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
So Alex rants a little bit here about his forefathers and all of these intellectuals that used to come on his show and coached him and taught him about life.
alex jones
The sick, beautiful irony of this is, even if you guys kill me or put me in prison or whatever you do, you can't stop a signal because now Alex Jones is everywhere.
It's like Spartacus.
We're all Alex Jones now.
Okay.
And the truth is, I only popularized what the former head of the FBI in Los Angeles taught me, what the former head of Air Force Weapons Development taught me, what my uncle, who was in black ops all over Central South America, Iran, contrary, you name that, Southeast Asia before that, everything he taught me.
Everything that all these amazing people taught me when I was a child and a teenager and then an adult.
So the truth is, I didn't discover all this.
I didn't, I know.
I simply got on air when I was 19 and already had the background and then was able to get syndicated and successful by the time I was 21.
And then I got to be interfaced with all the top brains, the Anthony Suttons that ran the Frank Church committee hearings on the deep state.
All of them, the G. Ember Griffins, the Ron Pauls, all of them, all of them, all the inside experts from Reagan, all the head of the Department of Education, Charlotte Isaby.
I got to sit there with thousands of all the best people we've got seven days a week, interviewing them, researching, traveling, being sent documents by them.
And that's why, that's why I've been proven right.
Because all I did was take what all these people that didn't have media and were doing conferences and writing books and trying to warn people and going to Congress and trying to get them to listen.
That Congressman Larry McDonald, the Democrat who was super hardcore and was going to win the presidency, so they killed his ass.
You know, the John Birch Society, William F. Jasper, all these people.
So I stood on their shoulders, but I was able to take this giant brain trust and put it out in an interesting, I guess, entertaining way.
I wasn't trying to, but that's just how it happened.
And so none of the credit goes to me.
It goes to all the people's shoulders I stand on.
But now they were the core.
I was the next big wave, blasted out.
And now this new wave's 100 times bigger.
I'm getting chills.
And it's just everywhere.
unidentified
Woo.
dan friesen
Chills.
So what about the visions from God that Alex got as a child?
Like, what about his gift of prophecy and all the dreams that tell him the future?
I get that Alex wants to make it sound like he comes from a serious line of thinkers and all that, but he just ranted for two minutes about what makes him important.
And there's not a single word about God.
It's almost as if he has a sense that Sean's brand is a little more in the Rogan space than the Tucker space, where it might be a little embarrassing for him to just let Alex make himself the Messiah on this show.
And like, he's his trainer.
They know each other.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
If you were like, God chose me as a child to lead the resistance against the devil, your trainer might be like, hey, man, what the fuck are you talking about?
jordan holmes
We got three sets in of leg presses the other day.
You also didn't fall to your knees and get healed by Jesus.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Come on, man.
I've seen you sweat.
jordan holmes
I wonder if there was a conversation between Alex and God at some point where God was like, listen, let me get out in front of this.
You're going to have to lie to people about me.
I can't, you know, you're not going to be able to sell my brand on other people's shows.
So I give you full permission to omit me from your list of accomplishments, even though, yes, I am God.
Right?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's like, I'm not going to take it personally.
jordan holmes
Right.
unidentified
Right, right.
jordan holmes
I'm God.
I already planned this whole thing out.
I can't be mad at you.
dan friesen
I have to let you know in advance, it's cool.
unidentified
It is cool.
jordan holmes
It has to be cool because he doesn't seem to feel any guilt about it whatsoever.
dan friesen
No, it seems very different than what he says in a lot of other subjects.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Weird.
dan friesen
Also, a small point.
There's no way Alex said Larry McDonald on his show because that dude died in 1983.
McDonald was on a Korean airlines flight to South Korea that was shot down when it entered Soviet airspace.
And because he was a die-hard anti-communist, a John Birch Society guy, it became part of an elaborate conspiracy.
Incidentally, Larry McDonald also ran his own intelligence company called Western Goals.
An article about it in Politico quotes one of its former employees, Mary Joe Buckland, as saying, quote, a lot of funding came from Germany, more than what came from the United States.
A lot of it was kept from us.
The Germans were all a lot of medals and they had a lot of money.
The Germany people never came to the United States.
They would fly Western Goals accountant to Germany.
Something didn't feel on the up and up.
jordan holmes
Western goals, former John Birch Society guy, Germany.
I'm not liking it, buddy.
That triangle doesn't hunt.
shawn b johnson
Yep.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
So that's the people that Alex looks up to.
jordan holmes
That's great.
Good stuff.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Not God.
jordan holmes
I would say 95% racist, explicit and extreme.
5% crypto racists.
Still 0% God.
Crazy.
shawn b johnson
Yep.
dan friesen
So a lot of this is obviously, but Sean's not much of a spark of life.
Not super entertaining.
I think Alex can feel it.
And so he's got to fill space.
And a lot of this is just giving him a platform to complain about the Sandy Hook stuff.
Right.
Because the appeal to the Supreme Court just got rejected.
shawn b johnson
I can't imagine they thought that they would still, you would still be standing strong after this amount of time.
alex jones
I'm stronger.
dan friesen
Yeah.
alex jones
Because I know you're evil.
I mean, I loved in Connecticut when he goes, you know, you know about the Godfather?
You know the movie, The Mafia?
I'm like, yeah, Mario Puzzo's, you know.
I'm like, that's a great story about.
He was going to go speak at a college, Mario Puzzo, who'd never written anything, never done anything, and he just hung around as Italian in New York and actually knew all the real mobs.
So he put a fiction thing on him, actually with real people.
He just changed the names.
It's actually a documentary, literally.
And he writes it, and he's going to go speak at a top college on top college screenwriting.
jordan holmes
Not one of those lower college.
alex jones
You can pull this up, the story's in the interviews.
And they say to him, they say, so they want him to go address the whole class of writers and film students on how to screenwrite.
So he goes to the bookstore to buy the best-selling book on screenwriting.
And the whole thing's about the godfather script in Mario Puzzo.
I didn't know that.
But the funny thing is, like, you know what the godfather is, Sonny?
And I'm like, yeah, I'm like, yeah, the Mario Puzzo book.
He goes, no, no, the movie.
unidentified
You know, the Godfather, the mafia, you know what that is?
alex jones
And I'm like, oh, do I know what it is?
You know what the real mafia is, jackass?
Anyways, and so called good people.
Did you mess with long enough, you find out?
But the point was, he's like, well, that's who we are, and you're going to lose no matter what.
So I'm going to talk.
But the point was, he's like, yeah, kid.
Once you learn we're thugs, once you learn we're crooks, you're going to go piss on yourself.
No, it's why I'm waging war on you.
I know.
The idea these people play these fucking games.
I'm coming for you.
You're not coming for me.
jordan holmes
Are you though?
alex jones
You understand that?
I'm not locked in here with you.
You're locked in here with me.
jordan holmes
Hey!
alex jones
Five points turned against you, and you're on the wrong side of history.
They know it.
shawn b johnson
You should have saved that for the end.
That would have been the end right there.
We've still got so much farther to go.
alex jones
Well, here's the thing.
I haven't talked about this as much as I should.
It's just built to a head now.
shawn b johnson
Oh, I know.
I know.
alex jones
But I mean, I feel great about it because, you know, oh, God, you get a website and you shut down our building.
Ooh, well, you just go work for other people.
Already got my crew, new, new management, new everybody.
And then I've just got a job there that they chase me around.
And I don't give a shit.
I'm not a high roller.
So, I mean, what's he going to do?
dan friesen
So this is fun, but Alex doesn't realize what his actual appeal is.
If he has to sell Infowars and go work for somebody else, it pierces the entire premise that his career is based on, which is that he's totally free.
He's his own man, and no one can tell him what to do because he runs the whole thing.
If he closes up shop and goes to work for Bigley, then he can get fired.
Bigley obviously supports the political ideology that he pushes, but they're first and foremost a money-making operation.
They sell shit.
And if he does something that makes it impossible for them to make money selling shit, he's no longer worth employing.
Alex can take on this posture that he doesn't need to be flashy and living a ritzy lifestyle.
And that's fair enough.
I do think that he would accept a certain amount of diminished luxury and continue doing what he's doing.
But this isn't about that.
It's about his soul and being free.
At InfoWars, Alex is free because it's a one-talent business built entirely around him.
If he wants to get drunk and cry about demons on his show, no one can stop him.
If he wants to pretend that an Ebola outbreak is about to happen in Denver, no one can stop him.
If he wants to continue to harass the Sandy Hook plaintiffs and cover new stories in ways that mirror how he behaved to get those lawsuits started in the first place, no one can stop him.
But Bigley isn't a one-talent business.
They may like Alex and see a profit in him, but they run stores for tons of shitheads in the right-wing media and they don't need Alex.
The audience may not immediately understand this, but the idea that Alex is an employee of someone else's thing will become a problem for them.
In the back of their minds, the audience gets that in order for Alex to make money, he can't own any business ever again.
And that makes his position vulnerable.
Bigley may be better than him going to work for like Fox News, but ultimately it's not that different.
He's giving up his independence and putting himself in a position where corporate interests can very easily exert pressure on his content or fire him.
So all this talk about victory and all this bluster is fine.
And I'm sure it feels good to do these rants and talk about Mario Puzzo.
But underneath this, Alex almost certainly knows that it's not just a website or studio he's giving up.
It's the entire idea of his career.
Now, he can't go back again.
He's like, he's going to be in a pocket.
Whoever's pocket it is, it's still a pocket.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's no way to either reveal that everybody already knew that you were doing what you were told from, you know, Trump or whatever it is, and they didn't, and they don't care that you work for somebody else now, or you are revealing that even though you quote unquote work for somebody else, it's a bullshit arrangement and you should have all of your shit stolen from you again, right?
dan friesen
Like you're either ruthlessly independent or you're safe from the bankruptcy.
It's one of the two.
jordan holmes
That's the whole point.
dan friesen
Can't have both.
jordan holmes
Being Alex Jones is you get to pick one.
unidentified
Yep.
jordan holmes
There's no amping.
Everybody else has to live with like, oh, maybe I should do this or maybe not in this situation.
Maybe I should.
No, you're Alex Jones.
You do the thing.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And if you're who Alex pretends to be, it's an automatic decision that you maintain.
jordan holmes
Every decision is an automatic decision.
dan friesen
Ruthless independence.
Right.
And the fact that he doesn't speaks to how this is all fake to become.
Yep.
So Sean, he's a young gun on the Rogan impersonator scene.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And so he wants to ask Alex for some like advice for other people in this media.
jordan holmes
Should I do like 20 bicep curls or 30?
dan friesen
No, no, no.
That's the advice that he gives out.
shawn b johnson
Oh, okay.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
This is the other way.
jordan holmes
All right.
shawn b johnson
So a lot of these other kind of, I guess, fringe influencers that are out there, quote unquote fringe.
What are some like warnings you would give to them based off of what you've had to live through?
alex jones
I never put out sensational stuff for attention.
I genuinely, and I've been wrong some and gotten things wrong.
I had people on it were wrong, but never intentionally.
I see a lot of people just jumping on bandwagons because the public has woken up to their being lied to, but they haven't woken up to exactly what's going on.
So just because you got the general public that wasn't awake yet, it's kind of like there's a fire alarm.
You wake up, you don't know where the fire is.
You're kind of like in the dark.
So you got to flip the light on and get your bearings.
So we have the Great Awakening happening.
It's part of the fourth turning.
It was predicted decades ago.
It's here.
But you got a lot of people now that don't have enough depth or sophistication or context.
And I see what they're doing.
And they will just jump on things just because they know it's clickbait.
And Whereas the globalists lie in the seed for their power and control, there's an organization to that, and it's still very destructive.
But because they've been proven to be liars, now Hillary Clinton could walk out in a blue sky day and say the sky is blue, and people wouldn't believe her.
And so then there's also a danger that people then think everything's a lie, everything's a conspiracy, everything's a scam.
And then I get to hear, oh, you're the guy who thinks the earth's flat, or you're the guy that thinks reptoids really run things.
I'm like, no, that's somebody else.
dan friesen
No, no, no, no, no.
Alex doesn't believe in reptoids or flat earth.
Those are just the things his friends believe.
And he does clickbait interviews with them about those things.
alex jones
Right.
dan friesen
And how dare people try to associate Alex with such silly ideas?
He only covers the real, hard-hitting, not disputable facts, like how God gave him 200 prophetic dreams about Gene Hackman in the year before his death, and Alex just ignored them for some reason.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Or how God tells Alex what time it is in the middle of the night so he can prove that it's God talking when he tells Alex that he needs to slow down on the booze.
jordan holmes
And also that it's okay he doesn't tell people about God.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
dan friesen
Alex absolutely lies and does clickbait on purpose, but I think that he doesn't even register it like that.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
I think he just doesn't care what's true or not.
He's not lying to the audience because truth is irrelevant to how a headline can be used in order to push what he thinks is a larger, more important truth, which is that white Christian men should hold all the power in society.
Yeah.
And so I think in service of that larger truth, he allows himself to lie or imagines that God has given him permission.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I would say that, like, whenever he says those types of words, I think he's more meaning it in like a, this is a successful decision or a failure decision based upon how much money or influence I received from it.
Right.
So yeah, I've gotten some things wrong because people got mad at me and didn't give me more stuff afterwards.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
But all the things that I'm right 99% of the time, look, I'm rich.
dan friesen
Yeah, I think that there is like, I think there's an irrefutable argument that comes down like this.
He's the stupidest motherfucker in media.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He's been wrong about almost everything fairly constantly.
Yep.
And he is still here in this place where people are willing to take him seriously.
Jesus Christ.
And that is a success in a way.
jordan holmes
I agree.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I agree.
It has nothing to do with truth or falsity, but there's an achievement somewhere.
Or, or I guess, like, I mean, it's not really an achievement for water to fill the open space, right?
Like, if there's, if you pour water, it's going to fill up the open space.
So maybe he's just a fucking bowl of water that got poured in the right area, and he's just, that's where he's going to be, you know?
dan friesen
Yeah.
And people didn't do a good enough job of setting up whatever sandbags would be needed to stop this flooding or whatever.
jordan holmes
This is fucking Katrina.
alex jones
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's what it is.
dan friesen
So Alex talks about some good stuff that Trump's doing.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Which is surprising because there's a lot of really bad stuff that he seems to be ignoring.
alex jones
We have to get engaged and we have to be in charge by leadership.
jordan holmes
I do.
alex jones
Not by deception, not by theft, not by lies, but by election and by example and by quality, whether it's in businesses, corporations, everything is a vote in this world.
And we have to hang our shingle out and we have to advertise that we are superior to these globalists and we want prosperity and goodwill.
And Trump definitely wants that.
He's definitely for a renaissance.
I mean, you saw what he did two weeks ago.
He pressured Saudi Arabia to basically double oil output.
No one's ever done that.
Now think, people.
He's got us as the number one producer in the world.
We're number three under Obama.
He cut it off.
Cranks us up to number one, beating Saudi Arabia.
And then Biden comes in, prices double, which is the ultimate tax on people's energy cost.
And then Trump skyrockets it back in just a few months to number one producer again.
And then he tells U.S. oil companies, I want you to work even harder to cut prices.
And then he goes to Saudi Arabia and says, I want to help the whole world.
So you know this is going to hurt U.S. oil producers.
The whole world's connected, which is true.
I want to lower energy prices for everybody because this is a global problem.
And my economists explained that to him.
He already knew it.
So he got the Saudis who they went.
Actually, you're right.
Everybody collapses.
We're screwed.
So they did the biggest increase in oil production ever.
Wow.
Now that is how you fight inflation is the base level.
dan friesen
So the Saudi government did agree to increase their oil production in the last months of 2025, but part of that agreement was also to not increase in the first quarter of 2026.
A lot of this does have the optics of a win for Trump, but the larger picture here is that OPEC understands that Russian oil companies are under sanctions.
So raising production is a move that's designed not necessarily to lower prices, but to be more stabilizing on the supply end of the supply and demand.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
A lot of experts view it as a kind of risky move, but one that's not very surprising.
More to the point, though, shouldn't Alex think this is the government getting involved in price fixing for commodities?
I feel like everything about his political ideology should be against the federal government getting another country to change its energy policy in order to manipulate prices.
This isn't the free market that Alex loves and yells about being so important all the time.
Trump is very manipulating here.
jordan holmes
Yeah, with these types of things, it's when you know that you're so starved for a victory that what is actually a huge, horrible loss, because in the moment seems like you've got a big fist up in the air, you call it a victory anyways.
Like there's no situation where in the long term, Trump has done the country good.
You know, like this is just a couple of days for him to go, oh, look at how great I am.
And then we move on with getting shittier.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's it's a little it's a little blip of, hey, hurrah.
But I don't know if it's as impactful as Alex wants it to be.
Nope, but you're right.
It's because all the other surrounding stories are like, what the fuck?
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, it is wild to consider that part of the decision making for a government like the United States is includes what can I make us look good about tomorrow on the paper.
dan friesen
Half of these fucking people who are in prominent positions are media figures, right?
jordan holmes
So of course.
It doesn't mean anything like, oh, do people get to have more roads?
I don't care.
dan friesen
No.
jordan holmes
That's six months from now.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And who cares about roads?
All that's important is whatever I can say in a media hit about roads.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
I got a promise for a thousand roads.
Great.
dan friesen
Cool.
Great.
So Alex talks about how he would do this for free.
He loves it.
He loves the fight.
jordan holmes
I bet.
alex jones
And they got a non-dischargeable debt, okay?
Which means even with bankruptcy, it never goes away.
So to them, it's just a way to harass me and stalk me and have me be a hunted man and come after me.
And they somehow think that means anything to me because it doesn't.
I mean, I will live under the bridge.
I mean, I will live on the roof of the new studio they're building.
I'll live, seriously, I'll live on a couch.
In fact, I'll do it for free.
I'll do this for free.
And there could be a charity and I just give them my food.
I literally don't give a shit.
So, I mean, they can put a gun to my head.
I'm not going to stop.
They think this does anything to me.
dan friesen
So Alex in 1999 might have been willing to do this shit for free and live under a bridge.
But hearing him say this in 2025 is a little much.
It's important to understand that the reason that he set up these fake companies like Dr. Jones Naturals and the Alex Jones Network are to make sure that he can still profit from his very easy job.
If he really didn't care about being poor or living under a bridge, then he wouldn't be doing everything he can to protect his assets and wealth from the bankruptcy, up to and including giving away his autonomy.
Yeah, Alex can say that he would do this for free and that he would live under a bridge if it meant that he could get the truth out, but his actions are all in service of making sure that he's able to maintain his wealth and doesn't have to resort to some kind of harder job than being a guy who yells and makes shit up to piss people off.
So I don't know.
I find it unconvincing.
jordan holmes
You know, I guess it is technically true that you could say, right, I would live under a bridge.
I'd do this for free.
As long as you keep in parentheses, so long as I have exhausted every available fucking option to not do that, I will then do that.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
But I will do every single thing, including die, before I do that.
So would I really do that?
dan friesen
Right.
And I'm pretending that I'm so committed to the fight and being this person that I am that I would suffer the you know, like living under a bridge in order to stay that.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And unfortunately, all of Alex's actions are like, okay, I'll give up on being that kind of a guy if I don't have to live under a bridge.
alex jones
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Absolutely.
dan friesen
So it's kind of easy the opposite.
jordan holmes
Every temptation to give up a piece of his integrity was taken.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's why we have none left.
dan friesen
So go under that bridge.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Good luck.
dan friesen
Yeah.
I think his riddles would be bad if he was a bridge troll.
jordan holmes
I mean, that's a good question.
Would they be harder to answer because they would be more incomprehensible, or would they be easier to answer because they would be as easy to understand as he could?
dan friesen
I think they would be half and half.
Some would be so fucking easy.
Right.
Like, I open a door.
What am I?
Right.
You're a fucking knob.
unidentified
Right, right.
dan friesen
Or like a key.
Okay.
It was so easy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then others would just be like using concepts no one's ever heard of.
And like, this is, there's no way I could ask this.
jordan holmes
Two men go down the road.
The sky is green.
What is your name?
unidentified
Uh, uh, uh, uh, Fred dead.
alex jones
Ah, shit.
dan friesen
Yeah, I think they're half and half.
unidentified
Yeah.
Okay.
dan friesen
So, uh, Sean asks Alex, uh, like, hey, you're going out of business.
How do you feel about that?
jordan holmes
How do you feel about that?
dan friesen
He feels great.
jordan holmes
Does he?
shawn b johnson
How do you feel about this?
alex jones
This will probably be shut down within about three weeks.
shawn b johnson
This next chapter in your life.
Okay, they shut you down in the next three weeks.
alex jones
I mean, I told you we're going to do it.
I said, I feel great.
Well, you tell him what I said with the audience.
shawn b johnson
Yeah.
alex jones
You tell him what I said.
shawn b johnson
Well, I want you to tell him.
I want you to tell the audience, like, this, like, you're literally turning the page.
Infowars, done, moving over to AJ Live, right?
alex jones
Well, here's the deal: it'll make the term InfoWar, but it's just generic bigger than ever.
shawn b johnson
No, I understand.
alex jones
They'll have a website, but no, actually, Alex Jones Network.
shawn b johnson
But I'm talking to you.
Like, how do you feel closing a chapter, a really long chapter in your life, and moving to the future?
Are you feeling reinvigorated?
alex jones
I feel great.
shawn b johnson
Is this because it's obviously something you were trying everything to avoid, and now it's here?
alex jones
Well, I pledged to do it, and they want the name to misrepresent act like they're me and a bunch of other harassment, which is fine.
And when I say I'm going to fight and support the listeners, they buy so much product at the authorshore.com and support us that I was 100% not pulling punches.
I was fighting as hard as I could.
But then there's something when you know you've been in a rigged game like the movie Gladiator, but you still get them at the end.
This is their defeat, and we're only going to get bigger out of this.
And now they can target me all day instead of targeting my organization, trying to shut it down.
Now I'll work for other people.
unidentified
Yeah.
alex jones
And then now the money can go not to legal most of it, but to new crew and more hosts and going like basically 24 hours a day, at least 20 hours a day.
So, yeah, I'm excited in that I fought the fought, left it on the field, you know, exposed them, won the court of public opinion, and now they basically, I got a tug of war, think they pulled something out of my mouth and run away with it.
I know it's a lipstick of dynamite.
To paraphrase, but you went down to the bottom of the bottom.
jordan holmes
Is that a tug of war?
alex jones
It's kind of like Wiley Kylo thinks he's going to get the Roadrunner.
It's the opposite.
dan friesen
Yeah, to paraphrase a cartoon.
Yeah.
unidentified
Okay.
jordan holmes
All right.
So like this whole thing that we've been through is a lot like Wiley Coyote.
Not a horrible tragedy that we have existed in for fucking ever.
dan friesen
Oh, okay.
I don't think that Sean seems convinced by Alex's answer.
I think that there is an internality that he'd like to discuss of like, how is this affecting you, this change of era in your career?
And Alex is just unwilling to give him an inch.
jordan holmes
I appreciate this because this is unexpected for this guy.
He is a personal trainer, and somehow he's like, you are very shallow in an emotional sense.
I would like you to open up and reveal more to me.
I'm a sensitive soul.
dan friesen
Well, maybe like some of the things you say when we're exercising or hiking, maybe there's something that you've let me in on and you are not giving any of it.
jordan holmes
Do you cry a lot when you work out?
Is that what we're really finding out?
dan friesen
That would be great.
That would be great if it was just an intro to this interview.
All right, I just need you to know Alex cries a lot.
jordan holmes
He cries every time we do fucking lat workouts.
It's crazy.
dan friesen
So instead of crying, they laugh.
jordan holmes
Oh.
dan friesen
And they laugh a little bit here, reflecting on Alex's depositions in the Sandy Hook and stuff.
alex jones
It feels good because men are supposed to crush tyranny.
We're supposed to crush scum.
And that's what we're supposed to do.
And it feels good to be doing what I'm supposed to do.
It just feels good.
Like a mountain morning or a beautiful sunset.
It's just, or you're toddler, running around the backyard, playing with bubbles or whatever.
It just feels like what you're supposed to do.
shawn b johnson
Yeah.
alex jones
Just smash.
That's when they asked me on the stand of the show trial.
They go, is always being accurate and telling the truth your number one mission?
I said, no, crushing globalists.
unidentified
Because they were going to come out with, oh, such a legendary situation.
alex jones
It's funny.
And where they go, you claim high-powering politicians are smuggling and trafficking children.
How outrageous.
Tell us about that.
I go, you mean like the Clintons and Epstein?
It's like they just walk into this stuff.
dan friesen
I think at this point, it would probably be best for Alex to not even bring up Epstein anymore.
His actions have thoroughly demonstrated to anyone paying attention that he does not care about the actual crimes that were committed, and it's all just a prop that he uses to attack his enemies.
So the less attention brought to it now, the better.
He's taking a victory lap for bringing up Clinton and Epstein in his deposition many years ago, but seems uninterested in holding Trump in any way accountable for the very obvious connections that he has with the guy.
By continuing to pretend to care about this when it involves Clinton, but giving Trump a full pass on it, you run the risk of the audience catching on that you really don't care about crimes against children.
You're just happy to exploit people's revulsion about the subject for profit, and you kind of look like a real asshole.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Hey, but at least they're having fun with it.
dan friesen
They are.
jordan holmes
You know, they're just doing laughing, you know.
And I don't think it's fair personally to be Alex Jones having gone through the verbal Lashings, the exanguination via word that he's gone through to then be like, these stupid guys, here's how I zinged them.
Here's how I zinged them.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You know, like, I can't imagine some of those places that I remember doing in stand-up.
If a guy went home after that night and told his wife, like, I got him, I would want to have witnesses.
I want audio.
I want cameras.
You did not get me, my friend.
dan friesen
Also, I recall that, like, the deposition when Alex brought up Epstein.
Mark was like, we will get back to that.
Yeah, exactly.
I promise you.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
We will be coming.
Don't you worry.
dan friesen
We'll cover this topic a little bit later, but answer the question that's in front of us.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
dan friesen
He was not like, hey, don't talk about this.
Derek, oh my God, I have been dunked upon.
jordan holmes
If you paid somebody 30 grand because people made fun of you too much, you don't get to talk about how you zinged the lawyers.
dan friesen
Yeah, I think that's you should reflect.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So this is one part of Alex's, I think there's a media push.
This is definitely something that was in his Tucker interview to this idea of like focusing on Todd Blanche.
He's the evil guy.
jordan holmes
He's the bad guy.
dan friesen
Right.
Ed Martin was trying to get Alex, like the DOJ, to help him go after the Sandy Hook plaintiffs.
jordan holmes
Because fuck it.
dan friesen
And then Todd Blanche was like, shut it down.
jordan holmes
That's the thing.
We're not that crazy.
Are we that crazy?
dan friesen
So now Alex is on the warpath against Todd Blanche.
alex jones
He was against letting out Jay Sixers.
These guys are foaming.
Can you believe it?
Elitist leftist going, oh, Alex Jones's friend's a horrible person.
unidentified
We don't protect him.
alex jones
Oh, little peasant down there.
I mean, it's disgusting.
So listen, it's not about me.
unidentified
Okay.
alex jones
It's that if obviously Todd Blanch was to protect the FBI and DOJ because they ran this illegal crap against me.
It's cover your ass time.
And I waited a week.
I said, well, they're just doing that to cover my ass.
Let me see if he talks smack.
Oh, he talks smack.
Which is good because I already knew what he was.
And I'm like, good.
You just, for everybody, just came out and said Alex Jones is scum.
Good.
Good.
We already knew that.
We already knew what you thought.
You just told us who you are.
Thanks for the confession, buddy boy.
So you'll stack yourself up against me with the general public.
And now everybody's investigating you and all the stuff's going to come out.
And we're going to get rid of you up there.
We're going to get better people in.
And if they don't tell the line for the truth, we'll get rid of them too.
It's called public pressure.
You're like, oh, God, he's dangerous.
He can indict you.
They've already tried a whole bunch.
Whatever.
shawn b johnson
I've always been an active guy.
Training, pushing myself.
But once I learned how Catherine forces your body into that fight or flight mode, I realized that it's wrecking my recovery.
I get the boost, but I couldn't really rest.
That's when I came across Methylene Blue.
dan friesen
Now, obviously, like, I'm someone who's fairly opposed to advertising in most of its forms.
Pretty much all of them.
Pretty much all.
I will be against.
I'm not interested in it.
I don't expect the rest of the world to follow exactly the standards that I would set for myself and my behavior.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
I think that this is embarrassing.
If you must do an ad, do an ad.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Don't do it like this.
Don't edit it like this.
Find a natural point in the episode to just like, okay, here is where the subject changes.
We can insert the commercial there.
This and Tucker, it's disrespectful.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I will say this.
I think what happens with these things now, all right, is I've heard of a few companies that have like an automated, we insert the ad thing.
You know what I'm saying?
dan friesen
I'm sure.
jordan holmes
So they probably don't even listen to the show.
It's just like at minute blank second, this ad goes in.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I think automatic.
And I think that that is horrifying.
jordan holmes
That is maybe meaning you don't really give a shit about your show at all.
dan friesen
Yeah.
I would, I, I, and, and, God, I mean, obviously we don't get any ad revenue from anything, but like if some platform was inserting commercials on our shit, I would hope someone would tell us so I could like address that.
I mean, like, if I were creating the show like this, I would feel really bad about this being the product.
Like, I understand you've got to insert the ads wherever they go.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Have a little bit of thought about it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like back in the day, back in the day of broadcast television, you would plan around commercial breaks.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And it's better.
jordan holmes
You would know way in advance.
Yeah.
You would have segments that were almost religiously to the second.
Yes.
Yep.
dan friesen
We need to go back to broadcast TV.
jordan holmes
I mean, I don't.
How do I?
Because I don't want to be too much of one of those guys.
But there is just a craft to making a show, man.
Like, if you're not interested in making a good show, if you're not even interested in asking people who make good shows, like, hey, should I cut off things mid-word?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
You know?
dan friesen
If part of your process for making a show is understanding and accepting the possibility that a passionate rant that Alex is in the middle of could get cut off by a commercial, I think you don't care about the product.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I think you don't care about the show.
jordan holmes
How could you sell me on caring about the show?
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
I don't know what word you're going to finish the sentence with.
dan friesen
What if Alex was just about to confess to a murder?
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
We got to do an ad.
Sorry.
Nothing we can do.
It's not like this is not a live product at all and something that we can edit over and over and over again.
dan friesen
Yeah, it shows a lack of care.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
Just care about making a show.
dan friesen
Yeah, he's a personal trainer.
I'm sure he cares about that.
jordan holmes
I mean, that's fair.
dan friesen
So Sean asks Alex about Charlie Kirk's murder.
Right.
And Alex, unprompted, I think he brings up something about Tucker Carlson that I think is very illegal, if true.
shawn b johnson
What do you think about the whole Charlie situation going on right now with all the people and all the question marks surrounding this?
And a lot of people are not believing the narrative.
alex jones
Well, when I was up at Tucker's last Monday in Maine, he was going to dinner that night about to jump on a jet up to Maine over to D.C. to have dinner with the vice president and with Charlie's widow, Erica Kirk.
And I was talking about all these things with him and he said, well, the way Kash Patel and them haven't been releasing more videos and more documents and putting their narrative out, he's talked to him and Mongino, and they're like, well, we don't want to give the case up.
And Tucker's been his first job as a crime reporter.
He goes, you guys always put out the narrative of what's there.
That's not true.
And he said, that's what's generating all of this.
And, you know, he literally just had.
Did he tell me that?
Was that off-record?
God, they tell you so much stuff.
I better just not say it.
But the point is, Tucker's dialed into everything.
I mean, I mean, everything.
A little more than meets the eye with that guy.
So he's like the secret.
I mean, this is known out.
He's like the secret U.S. ambassador of the world.
Flies around constantly.
World leaders meet with Trump messages.
dan friesen
Oh, man, that's super illegal.
jordan holmes
I mean, I can't think of anything less legal than unofficial ambassadors.
dan friesen
To the world.
jordan holmes
From the president of the United States.
dan friesen
Right.
And the sort of leaders that he seems to be sending messages to are like Putin.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I mean, listen, Kissinger was evil, but at least he was hired to do the evil job, right?
You know, he wasn't like suddenly there.
Like, oh, I'm just Kissinger.
I'm just here causing hell all the way.
dan friesen
He's in an appointed position that is theoretically like Congress can do something.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You know, it's not like we sent Dan Cortez over to negotiate with the Contras.
jordan holmes
At the very least, later on, that stuff will be written down somewhere.
Or there will be a recording of something.
You know, something.
Not just like, oh, Tucker was there.
That's no good.
I don't want that for history.
dan friesen
No, and it also, like, I don't know the extent to which I believe this.
But if you're someone like Alex who is distrustful of power, and you have a guy who has a weird media show, and he also is the ambassador to the world, a lot of power carrying secret messages to world leaders on behalf of the president of the United States.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
dan friesen
I would be careful.
jordan holmes
You know, if you were carrying secret messages from the president, a notoriously elderly man who says and talks a lot of shit that he doesn't mean and won't take back or will take back at a moment's notice, maybe you think I could change some of the words to what I want them to be.
dan friesen
Well, sure, that is a possibility.
But I think more realistically, if you're this guy, if you're Tucker, and like Alex is doing an interview on his trainer's podcast where he reveals that you tell him a bunch of stuff that maybe he can't repeat publicly, maybe you stop telling him stuff.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I mean, on the other hand, there is a little bit of a waggle.
There's a little bit of a dick waggle to just be like, yeah, go on your trainer's podcast and say all kinds of national secrets.
alex jones
No one will believe you.
dan friesen
I got attacked by a demon.
jordan holmes
Right?
Exactly.
Believe whatever you want.
You can't trust me.
dan friesen
So all of this just has a little bit of that feel of like Alex has been seduced by the cool kid crowd.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
And he doesn't even realize how much he's unrecognizable from his past self.
alex jones
JD Vance is good friends with him.
When I was up at TPUSA last year, three months before Vance was announced, I was back there with Vance and Kirk in the green room.
They called me in there.
Oh, and I was talking to Vance been a listener for a long time.
I was like, hey, I hear your problem.
He goes, yeah, I got it.
And even, he didn't even say, don't tell people.
He's just, yeah, I got it.
It's me.
I was like, wow, that's the weird thing.
Is he just, I'm like, I did ask that on record, off-record.
So I went ahead and said, oh, JD Vance, he's got it.
But they're all buddies back there drinking ginger ale and high-fiving and watching YouTube clips and X clips of people.
Like they're like us.
jordan holmes
Then fire them.
alex jones
I drink beer.
And so, and so, I mean, these people are like goodie tissues.
Yeah.
I mean, like, there's the rumor, oh, Don Jr. is a drug addict.
No.
I mean, Trump doesn't even like his kids drinking.
So the point is, is that these are, I mean, Erica Trump is an actress.
Erica Trump has done thousands of these events.
So when her husband gets killed, she gets up and executes and does a great job for him because that's what you do in those times.
dan friesen
It's an interesting slip that Alex calls Erica Kirk Erica Trump twice.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Let's not think about it.
jordan holmes
I don't want to think about anything anymore.
dan friesen
Also, I love the angle that Don Jr. can't possibly be on drugs because his dad doesn't want him to.
jordan holmes
Nobody's ever made more sense to me.
dan friesen
He's 47 years old.
He's not a fucking teenager.
jordan holmes
Somebody's ancient father doesn't want their middle-aged child drinking.
So obviously they don't.
dan friesen
Yeah, he can't possibly.
Of course not.
I think that there is a weird prism of infantilism that Alex works through.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There is an amount of like if the world works like the way you think it does, it should collapse.
Yet somehow, because the world works the way it does, you're allowed to think that the world works the way you think it does, and it doesn't collapse.
Wild.
dan friesen
Yep.
I think that he wants Trump to be his dad.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And I think he projects the daddliness onto everybody else, like he's my dad, too.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
Whatever.
That's sad and gross.
But it makes sense.
I mean, it runs through like Tucker's dad's home.
He's going to shake you kind of shit.
jordan holmes
We can't complain too much.
Just about, I would say maybe 75 to 80% of all great literature kind of rolls around daddy issues.
So, you know, what are you going to do?
dan friesen
No, I get it.
I think having issues with your parents is totally fine.
And I think that there's better ways to channel it from bringing back the Nazi Party.
jordan holmes
Write a book.
But not one that brings back the Nazi Party.
Don't write mine comps.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So Sean brings up that, like, you know, Trump didn't, he didn't seem all that emotional about Charlie Kirk getting killed.
jordan holmes
Because he doesn't give a shit.
dan friesen
Well, no, no, no, no, no.
jordan holmes
Oh.
dan friesen
Alex explains.
He cried privately.
jordan holmes
Oh, of course.
Of course.
You can't see it.
alex jones
So Trump was devastated.
It looked like hell.
You go back to the, he was like, and then Trump gets over things.
They're like, oh, how are you feeling about Charlie?
And a week later, he's like, well, it's okay.
Look how great we're rebuilding this over here.
shawn b johnson
Yeah, everybody flipped out.
alex jones
That's what Trump does is he moves on.
He's not like a liberal.
Oh, God.
Oh, help me.
jordan holmes
Tallest building in New York, I believe.
alex jones
These people cry behind the scenes.
And that's just what people do.
I mean, I have to tell you, the implication is, and I've heard this, and I want to be very clear.
People have a right to say this.
Just like I had a right to say what I wanted about Sandy Hook, I just didn't even say the things they said I said.
It's a First Amendment.
Okay?
So what you're getting at, and let's just say it, is what now five weeks into this, what people are telling me two weeks into it, all these Green Berets, Delta Force, sniper experts, medics, unless they release the HD and we see a bunch of blood on the ground, and I'm sure that's the case, and other stuff going on here, they're saying Charlie Kirk didn't get killed.
And that's what all this builds towards.
I believe he got shot from a higher angle.
I was the first to get the information from the head of TPUSA because he put out a little bit and he called me when I said it sounded crazy that the 30 odd six didn't go through.
He said, no, it came down from an angle, went down his vertebrates, bounced back up.
Shrapnel, that's now been said by the doctor.
And they say they're going to release it at the end of the month.
The autopsy, that better happened.
So I'm giving the benefit of the doubt.
I don't think the doctor's lying.
I don't think Charlie Kirk's best buddy's lying.
And all of this, though.
But people have a right to say the moon's made of cheese.
People have a right to say, you know, that didn't happen.
That's an American right.
And you brought this up to me.
You don't believe it.
There's got to be some other explanations.
But what you and I, what you said to me two, three weeks ago is what during the breaks when I'm talking to these green berets and all these guys are like, you're like, man, it just, you know, if they don't release that HD or at least, you know, show it because if there's not blood down there and it's just a squib pack, because that's how they do it in stunts, is it pops and then pops the back of the movie to make it look like it's real.
And I'm not saying that happened.
Alex Jones does it again.
But here's what's different.
jordan holmes
You're doing it again.
alex jones
There are a bunch of people saying this weeks ago.
Nobody's even attacking him because nobody believes anything anymore.
dan friesen
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I guess no one does believe anything anymore.
jordan holmes
How could you when you're listening to that man speak?
dan friesen
Exactly.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So apparently, I think Sean doesn't believe that Kirk got killed.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
So he's still alive.
Or somebody else or the government killed him?
dan friesen
Or.
I think he must still be alive.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
But I don't know what the end game is in that.
jordan holmes
Yeah, now I'm interested to know what when does Charlie Kirk coming back like Gandalf the White solve a problem for us?
dan friesen
Well, I mean, he could be the Antichrist.
jordan holmes
I mean, CK.
unidentified
Oh, boy.
dan friesen
Louie.
Free associating.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but he's just doing, let's just go.
Let's just roll.
dan friesen
I think that this might dovetail with that idea that, you know, like, is it Kosh Patel said, I'll see you in Valhalla.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And, like, that's the resort in New Zealand or whatever.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right.
Oh, that's right.
I remember that one.
dan friesen
Yeah, so I think that might dovetail with this.
Like, Charlie retired essentially, and they made a martyr out of him or whatever for Trump and the right wing to use.
Right.
I feel like that.
He doesn't fully explain what the reason for faking the death would be, but that's the best I can come up with.
jordan holmes
Okay, so the idea is, here's our plan.
unidentified
All right.
jordan holmes
I'm coming to you.
Here's my pitch.
Charlie, we need a murder, or we need a martyr.
dan friesen
A murder martyr.
unidentified
A murder martyr.
jordan holmes
We need a martyr to get murdered.
But we don't want to kill you.
For some reason.
dan friesen
You're too cool.
jordan holmes
We kill so many people according to these people.
dan friesen
Well, you know so much about us that we want to keep you alive.
jordan holmes
Probably.
It makes the most sense.
And we want to give you more incriminating evidence.
dan friesen
Like the fact that you're alive.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
And that we've made a big deal out of it.
Yeah.
So then, yeah, we'll just fly you to New Zealand.
I don't, this is.
This feels like what people really believe whenever you're like, oh, they went to live on the farm.
Like, no.
That dog's dead, man.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Because, like, Charlie's power and leverage, like, he ceases to have the same power that he had the second everyone thinks he's dead.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But he has a very different power.
jordan holmes
Massive power.
dan friesen
And the only thing he has power over is you.
jordan holmes
That's the problem.
If I'm leaving, if I'm a guy who's against loose ends, I'm not, I'm blowing up New Zealand before I'm moving him to New Zealand.
dan friesen
All the shit that Charlie is useful for alive stops once he's believed to be dead.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So like the only way that this conspiracy would make sense is if they like told him they were going to fake the death and then actually shoot it.
Right.
And then that kind of.
jordan holmes
But even then, that would only work if then you're the one telling Sean Johnson this information.
Like, hey, we didn't actually kill him.
dan friesen
I don't know, man.
jordan holmes
And Sean Johnson believes you.
dan friesen
I don't see a world where there's a reason to do this.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
Like, to fake Charlie's death.
I don't see who has an advantage there.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I could see it being some sort of Dada as terrorism.
You know, like a true, this will be inexplicable for all time.
dan friesen
A joker?
A joker?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I don't know if that's inexplicable.
dan friesen
He's crazy, man.
jordan holmes
I think it's fairly explicable.
dan friesen
I am willing to say that Charlie is probably more useful now than he was before.
Sure.
Like, he is an incredibly potent symbol and martyr that these folks can use.
jordan holmes
They're having a grand time.
dan friesen
I don't think that justifies killing him.
And it wouldn't be served by faking killing him.
unidentified
Well, there's just doesn't make sense.
jordan holmes
I mean, you could, if you've got him already on the we can kill you tip, right, but then pick a better time for it.
There's, I mean, I'm not saying he's not a murderer, but it didn't feel like there was that much to change the world with in July or whatever, you know?
dan friesen
Well, I mean, it was deeply traumatic.
Sure, it was deeply traumatic, and some like professors lost their jobs and shit, but well, yeah, I don't, I just, I don't, I get the sense that this is what happens when you talk to a conspiracy theorist's trainer.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Is that this is the kind of shit that you entertain.
It's like, oh, yeah, they faked Charlie's death.
Like, what do you think?
I mean, even you're forcing a conspiracy.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Like, I mean, it's not even like your conspiracy is they're going up to the other side in some way, right?
So it's not even like they got a congressperson fired, right?
Like, or something like that.
They didn't get a high-value target out of it.
dan friesen
Yeah, I don't know.
So Alex, he doesn't want to talk about, he doesn't want to say that this is fake or anything.
jordan holmes
Sure, right.
dan friesen
So instead, he wants to do is prompt Sean to discuss the anomalies.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
alex jones
No, I mean, look, Trump got shot.
I know real stuff when I see it.
We all know fake stuff when we see it.
I thought we could tell fake A. Charlie Kirk blasted.
But I get why people look at all the weird anomalies because it all points towards that.
You do a good job laying them out.
You want to lay them out?
shawn b johnson
What, as far as what I'm going to do?
alex jones
Well, proviso, you're not saying this.
You're just recounting what.
shawn b johnson
Well, listen, when something like this happens, you have to look at what are the possibilities of the actual motive and who did this.
In my opinion, it's like, okay, option number one, what they're telling us is absolutely correct.
It was Tyler Robinson.
He shot him from the roof, and everything else is just weird.
The second option is there was a second gunman, and maybe they used Tyler as a decoy, and we're kind of seeing what looks to be, I mean, to me, it looks like they're covering something up, and I don't quite know why.
I don't know why they took the narrative and ran with that so quickly.
I don't know why Erica Kirk was giving Tyler forgiveness so quickly after the investigation was still ongoing.
Why are you giving forgiveness to somebody that just killed your husband and you don't even know if he's the actual guy?
They haven't finished the investigation.
dan friesen
So I feel like this is a really good encapsulation of how Alex likes to do business.
He talks to a person who's willing to say some crazy shit, and then if the audience is into it and it drives traffic and sales, it slowly becomes the InfoWars position while Alex pretends to have not endorsed these ideas himself.
Sean is painfully uninteresting in this interview, and this anomaly that he comes up with is idiotic.
Erica was forgiving the guy who killed her husband because that was what she was required to do to perform the character of a saintly Christian, which is the brand that she's inherited from Charlie.
Sean is acting like there needs to be a conviction in the courts before you forgive someone, which is fucking dumb.
If this is part of your group of arguments why you think maybe Charlie's death was fake, you are grasping at straws.
And that makes sense.
You're a conspiracy theorist's trainer.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I do like the presentation.
All right.
The way I see it, there's three options.
Option number one, they're telling the truth.
Option number two, they're lying.
Those are all three options.
dan friesen
Well, no, there is a third option that he's going to express, which is just that it's fake.
jordan holmes
Oh, well, I'm not.
dan friesen
The second one is they're covering something up like a second shooter, and then the third one is like, it's all fake.
jordan holmes
Right.
But here's the here's the thing about possibilities, right?
He doesn't have a reason for these being possibilities.
dan friesen
Nope.
jordan holmes
These are the three things that I'm thinking.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Right?
dan friesen
Here's the three fantasies that I've decided to cover all possible scenarios.
Yeah.
unidentified
Cool.
jordan holmes
You haven't explained why it's possible there was a second shooter.
dan friesen
Erica forgave him.
jordan holmes
See, that's not an explanation for why there's a second shooter.
dan friesen
What?
jordan holmes
I mean, Erica, it could be evidence that something happened, but why is second shooter a possibility in this situation?
dan friesen
Well, it's just weird.
It stinks.
That smells.
There's too many anomalies.
jordan holmes
That's fine, but that would mean there's more than three possibilities at the very least.
dan friesen
There's so many possibilities.
jordan holmes
If something stinks, it could be anything.
dan friesen
Right.
But I think that the three possibilities actually do kind of cover everything because they're so vague and meaningless.
jordan holmes
Right, right.
dan friesen
There's like, they're telling the truth.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
The government is.
jordan holmes
Which covers everything.
dan friesen
Well, that covers one thing.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Then there's like, there's a second shooter and they're covering that.
All the shooters.
There's a half cover-up.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
That's one slice.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And then the other slice is it's a full cover-up.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
We're doing Goldilocks and the three conspiracies.
dan friesen
But a million stars could be in that right sky.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, right.
It's the hierarchy of infinities.
dan friesen
So there's the third possibility that everything is fake.
shawn b johnson
The last option, and there's only one option that answers every single question mark that all of these influencers have that are floating out all of these theories and all these video angles and everything.
There's only one answer that answers all of it.
And this is fake.
This was all staged.
alex jones
And that like why'd you send people their houses to harass them?
shawn b johnson
What's that?
alex jones
Why'd you send people to his house to harass this family?
Why'd you pee on their graves?
jordan holmes
Are you falling asleep?
alex jones
No, no, no, that's what they'll do.
jordan holmes
Are you drunk?
alex jones
They're not.
Kirk's not going to do that, but imagine now.
Why'd you send people their houses to harass them?
All you did was ask questions.
Why'd you pee on the grave?
Why'd you make $300 million off that?
It's like, you just made $300 million by saying that.
unidentified
Yeah.
alex jones
No, but that's how it works.
But see how the world's moved on?
That's totally reasonable.
And a bunch of the military people are saying what you're saying.
They're saying, looks real when he gets shot.
Where's the blood?
And then all the rest of it.
And then where's all the footage of him on the roof?
They got all these cameras.
Why are we showing only him running?
And then all the weird anomalies there.
shawn b johnson
What does he go to?
alex jones
The point is, it's good you're asking those questions.
It's American you're asking those questions.
And it's not just okay.
We're supposed to do that.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
shawn b johnson
Even if we're wrong, it's okay.
Dig into this.
As long as you're not going to hinder the investigation that they're doing on Tyler for this case that.
dan friesen
That's your bar?
shawn b johnson
Like, right?
You don't want to hurt the case.
Like, if, because if.
alex jones
All I know is, though, since when can he like he's supposedly confessed three times and all this.
shawn b johnson
Yeah.
alex jones
Why would they put the confession out?
They always do that.
shawn b johnson
Yeah.
dan friesen
On certain level, yeah.
If the families of turning point workers like Erica Kirk get harassed by people who have been incited by Sean's coverage of the shooting, then they should be able to take legal action against him.
He's not just playing around with interesting ideas.
The interesting ideas he's throwing around require that Erica Kirk be involved in gigantic crimes.
These aren't just theories.
They're also accusations.
And that's the piece of this that folks like Alex have worked so hard to obscure.
The implications of their dumb fuck conspiracies.
That's why people harass those folks.
jordan holmes
If I say, why did Erica forgive him so fast?
Right.
I am not asking you.
Yeah, exactly.
It is like, okay, well, obviously Erica's in on it.
Is she paid for it or is she a happy idiot?
It's that.
It's like, are you in on it or are you a useful idiot?
I have now gotten rid of all that.
dan friesen
It's quite obvious that you're in on it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
How dare you say there's three possibilities?
There's two possibilities, a half cover-up and a whole cover-up.
This is not a fucking original recipe chicken.
dan friesen
Only one that one explanation that explains everything.
jordan holmes
It's all sad.
dan friesen
And think about it on this level.
Yeah.
I don't know what the end game is here for faking Charlie's death.
But just on a really simple level, you have defrauded thousands of people with that memorial service that they held.
The president spoke at the fraud memorial service.
jordan holmes
Yeah, at the very least, he should be morally judged for such behavior.
dan friesen
Well, no, and I think there's crimes involved in that.
jordan holmes
I would have to think so.
It's like a fully, it's like they isolate this incident so that this incident can be analyzed and all of these theories can be made, but these theories cannot have any effect on the larger world, despite the fact that this incident only exists because of its relationship to the larger world.
dan friesen
Yeah, it's removing continuity of reality.
jordan holmes
Right, right, right, where it's like, no, no, no, it's okay for Erica to have been in on it.
It's not.
No.
You can't be in on a massive cover-up and still be a good guy.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And it would stand to reason that the entire Trump administration is also in on it.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
And everyone involved in the memorial.
jordan holmes
You would have to be.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Yeah.
On another level, though, like, yeah, who cares if dipshits are asking stupid questions that aren't really questions?
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
If they aren't interfering with the investigation, all they're doing is wasting everyone's time.
jordan holmes
That's true.
dan friesen
There's no law against wasting time.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
The consumers of this media would be wise to ask themselves: at what point do questions demand answers, and at what point are they not really questions?
The game that Alex and Sean engage in is pretending to be asking questions that demand immediate answers, but the answer that satisfies their question and gets them to say, well, that explains that, that doesn't exist.
If the police don't release the confession, then that's suspicious.
If they release the confession, why did it take so long?
jordan holmes
Because it's suspicious.
dan friesen
If there's an explanation for the delay, then why does this one word in the confession seem weird?
There's always going to be another question to replace the last one because these aren't sincere questions.
They're excuses to believe something idiotic while still pretending to be rational and making money off it.
And it's really important, I think, if you're consuming this kind of media to understand that dynamic and reject people who play those games.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
I've got a new.
Here's another thing I've got.
All right.
Here's my new, here's my new thought.
Can't restrict free speech.
dan friesen
Trump has.
jordan holmes
Right?
Whatever, legally.
I am going to tack on to free speech, right?
If you say it's the First Amendment, you have to say the entire First Amendment.
That is now a rule.
That's a law.
I'm not going to restrict your free speech.
You can say First Amendment all you want, but if you say First Amendment, you have to say, for the government shall not make a law infringing upon the right for people.
You have to do the whole thing.
dan friesen
And then you have to recite pie down to 20 decades.
jordan holmes
Absolutely.
We're going to amplify this to the point where people who say it's the First Amendment aren't allowed to talk at all.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And then you have to, periodic table, you have to say something about absolutely.
jordan holmes
What a noble game.
There are no gases, right?
Are there seven?
Are there four?
dan friesen
It's so sad that we both immediately just went to the noble gases.
jordan holmes
The noble gases.
What are you going to go to?
Fucking uranium?
dan friesen
I don't know.
So Candace Owens has been blaming Israel for Charlie's death.
jordan holmes
Sure, why not?
dan friesen
And so Sean wants to know what Alex thinks about what Candace has been up to.
And Alex doesn't realize what he's asking.
Uh-oh.
shawn b johnson
What do you think about Candace?
What do you think about her stance on all of this right now?
Because she has fucking backed herself into a corner and she's fucking got the claws out.
She's fighting.
alex jones
Well, that's, I like Candace Owens.
We really discovered her.
I like her too.
I was like Paul Watson, my husband.
We're the first to really ever get her on air.
You know her origin story?
shawn b johnson
The red, what is it?
Red, pill, black, or black, pill, red.
alex jones
Well, she was in a sort of social media for women.
And then the liberals wanted to get control of it.
So they were false flagging her, threatening her, like white supremacist stuff, but it was the women in the group doing it.
So that's kind of how she woke up as a liberal because they were like Jesse Smolletting her.
They were staging stuff.
So, and my lawyer, Norm Pattis from Sandy Hook, up in Connecticut, where she's from, he actually represented her and got her a big settlement where she did go through racist stuff in high school stuff.
So I know all about Candace Owens.
I think she is a good person.
I think she means what she says.
shawn b johnson
You think there's any truth to what she's saying?
alex jones
Well, you've got to give me the latest because all I know is this.
She came out a few weeks ago and it's like, he was shot from the front and it goes through the vertebrae and all that.
And everybody's like, oh my God, Candace Owens, I'm not lessening it.
I'm like, I broke that.
Like three weeks before that.
I'm not a part.
I'm glad that whatever she says, everybody pays a lot of attention to it because that was true what she said.
And then they had the details was the TPUSA head guy says, oh, you know, he's got my number.
He calls me up 30 minutes after I do a post on X and he's like, oh, 30 odd six.
And I said, no way at that angle.
And then, so he called me and gave me the full details of what later came out.
And what he said, you know, which Candace is saying, you know, actually happened.
My point is, she's going off what they say.
We haven't gotten a coroner's report yet.
Does that make sense?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
alex jones
So she's talking to the same people.
Yeah.
shawn b johnson
She thinks this was an Israeli hit, correct?
alex jones
Oh, is that what you're getting at?
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Oh, oh, ouch.
Gonna have to redo that one.
Can we take that from the top?
alex jones
And I guess day one, everybody said it was Israel.
So my thing is, the Israel thing is something that sucks all the oxygen out of the room.
So I wasn't being coy earlier when I'm like, well, what is she talking about?
She said so much stuff.
dan friesen
She said so much.
This lady talks so much shit.
I didn't know the clear question you were asking me.
jordan holmes
Sean, I need you to understand something.
You're the person who listens to all of us talking shit.
dan friesen
You're the conspiracy theorist's trainer.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
We talk shit.
We don't listen to each other talk shit.
Why would we talk?
Why would we listen?
dan friesen
Mostly just know when something becomes a problem.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I'm an annoyance.
dan friesen
Yeah, so I like the.
You know, I discovered her.
You know, she stole that news from me.
I mean, I'm trying to ask you about her saying that the murder was an Israeli hit job.
jordan holmes
You know, I'm pretty.
Have you considered how great I am in this question about somebody else?
dan friesen
Yeah.
Pretty great.
jordan holmes
I'm pretty great.
I'm pretty great.
What did she do?
I'm sorry.
dan friesen
So one of the things that's really great about Alex is that, you know, you have people like Candace Owens saying that the murder was an Israel hit job.
jordan holmes
Sure, because why not?
dan friesen
And, you know, that's a representation of how Candace is a sincere actor in this space who has criticisms about Israel.
jordan holmes
She believes it.
dan friesen
Now, Alex early in his career learned how to tell anti-Semites from people who have concerns.
unidentified
That's good.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I bet he did.
dan friesen
Yep.
alex jones
Okay, but there's all sorts of groups and organizations like that, but I don't sit there at night jacking off like, I hate the Jews.
You know, that stuff just gets really old.
So, well, that's what a lot of these guys that hate them do.
I mean, they literally, look, maybe I have an allergy to it because I've been on here 30 years plus.
And I was on here just a few months.
And like, I'd have guys come down the studio and go, you're talking about the new world order, but you know, it's the Jews.
And here's some pamphlets.
We want to come on your show.
They'd be up there the next week.
I've been on here like a month, 31 years ago.
They're like, I noticed you didn't call me back.
I guess you work for the Jews.
And my friend, I was like, no, I hadn't read the stuff yet.
I was like in the back of my car.
I'm like, yeah, Joe's is kind of a Jewish name.
We'll be watching you, boy.
So my first experience was like, these people are like, just, I was like, whoa, they're the worst ambassadors there are because they're the little club that's good, and everyone else is not pure.
And all leads, all roads lead to the Jews.
dan friesen
Smash cut to Alex hanging out with Nick Fuentes.
jordan holmes
Fuentes.
dan friesen
Shaving a Hitler mustache with Sean Johnson.
jordan holmes
With Sean Johnson.
dan friesen
As a bit.
It's so funny.
I think that what he's describing about this Nazi that he interacted with a month into his career is literally exactly the same thing that happened with Nick.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
Alex was not being hard enough on Jewish people.
And Nick took to his show and said that Alex was a fat drunk who got a call from Israel and he worked for the Jews.
And now they're good buddies.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
What an idiot.
jordan holmes
It's just one of those patterns.
It's just like Alex, Joe Rogan's fucking liar, and I'll gut him like a pig.
And now we're best friends.
dan friesen
And it's their kids on the playground.
They just need to blow off some steam sometimes.
jordan holmes
Man, these guys.
dan friesen
Yep.
jordan holmes
I hope Sean Johnson is a really good trainer.
dan friesen
I mean, look, I don't know how much of it is all organic.
You know, like, I don't know if Alex got on the shot or whatever.
I don't know.
Yeah.
He did lose a lot of weight.
I mean, and like, if Sean Johnson is the trainer responsible for that, he's not bad.
jordan holmes
No, I think that might be where we're, I think this might be our issue, right?
He succeeded too well at his good job that made him think I could also do Alex's job, right?
I'm skinny.
He's skinny now.
He can do a radio show.
I can do a radio show.
Makes sense.
dan friesen
I think that there's a lot of people who are in like some proximity to Alex that get the idea that what he does is super easy because it is right.
They just don't realize that without the past, like the bullshit of the past like 20 years, no one cares about the easy shit that Alex is doing.
You're just another streamer.
jordan holmes
Right.
It is, it is like, it is super easy because I'm me.
It's impossible for you.
dan friesen
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's impossible to stand out as conspiracy theorist trainer.
Right.
So Alex, he lists off here some suspects that could be behind the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
And I think if you have this wide of a net, you don't really know anything.
alex jones
You know, for me, Candace can, you know, talk about how she thinks Israel did it.
And that's the big popular thing to think.
And I think she really believes that.
It's kind of like, you know, those ink blocks where you kind of see what you want in it.
And I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that a weird RNC alliance that wanted control of the group because it was bigger than the RNC now and bigger than CPAC with Israel, you know, didn't use Israeli operatives because they're very competent assassination to do it.
That's a possibility, pure speculation.
The DNC knows he got two and a half million people to vote for Trump was the reason he won.
And they're the ones calling for him to die, celebrating when he died.
And then you got all these other transifa, trans antifa out blasting people every week and you know shooting up.
I saw him like, I'm like, yeah, DNC, RNC, Israel alliance.
jordan holmes
Makes sense.
alex jones
And then could it have been?
I mean, if you got to sit there and start speculating, could the Chi Coms do it?
dan friesen
Now, here's the twist.
You actually don't have to engage in rampant, idiotic speculation about every event that happens, desperately chasing clicks and attention.
If you really think that it's possible that all these different groups could have been involved in an elaborate assassination plot against Charlie, then you have no evidence about any of it because you sure as shit haven't ruled out any of these suspects.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
The truth is that Alex has nothing to say, which is why he has to say so much.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
This is so dumb.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
You don't have to do this, and it's kind of embarrassing too.
jordan holmes
I mean, it's what it should really prove backwards thinking, right?
Is how few people, especially nations, want to assassinate anybody.
Right.
Because if I'm a nation, like say I'm just like a regular ass, say I'm Luxembourg, France, right?
How do I want to get on the map?
I'm just going to start assassinating people and they'll blame it on Israel.
Like there's no, why wouldn't you?
dan friesen
Well, Luxembourg France works for Israel.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
But this is what I'm saying.
Like if you do some shit now, it will be blamed on Israel by these crazy people.
dan friesen
I mean, it's exactly what Alex was saying earlier.
No one believes anything anymore.
There's yeah, and I think that one of the things that's really shocking too is that like I don't think that Charlie Kirk's assassination was that hard to pull off.
jordan holmes
It looked very straightforward.
dan friesen
I don't believe that you would need elaborate conspiracy in order to have done that.
Nope.
And that reveals a really like a kind of comforting thing in that like this could be happening all the time.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And the fact that it's not kind of means that most people don't want to kill each other.
jordan holmes
Nobody wants to assassinate anybody.
dan friesen
Right.
And I think that that is, I hate to say a silver lining of this event, but it is kind of like, well, this would be happening a lot more if the world that Alex lives in was the real world.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
Oh, and not just that, but every, like, the most common part of all major political assassinations is very simple and straightforward.
Any complications, almost every one of them is foiled.
The moment, even, even if you've got two guns and you're trying to kill Andrew Jackson, it's going to get foiled.
dan friesen
Right.
Once you call the Chinese.
jordan holmes
Right.
What are you talking about?
It's done.
You're done.
It's over.
You have a gun.
You're a guy.
You walk up close.
You shoot him.
That's as good as you're going to do.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And like the bottom line, I feel with this kind of interview and this tone is like Alex is coming up with fun, fanciful things to be like, well, maybe they did it.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But he's also saying like, if I were forced to speculate, like you force yourself to speculate.
You don't have to do any of this.
jordan holmes
If I were forced to speculate.
If somebody were going to ask me in my professional expert opinion.
dan friesen
If speculating about nonsense and making shit up were the only way that I could make money, then I would say that maybe the Chinese or maybe the Trans Antifa gone to my head.
jordan holmes
It could be literally anybody I don't like.
And for good measure, it might be people I do.
Yeah.
dan friesen
But it might be the kind of people who I do like who I also don't really like.
jordan holmes
It could be both.
dan friesen
Rhinos.
So the interview comes to an end and Alex is trying to drive home this message that Todd Blanche sucks and needs to go.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
alex jones
I don't own the AlexShowstore.com, so they can't shut that down.
That's got the best supplements, t-shirts, all of it.
That's funny, the new thing we're doing.
And so much, you know, very, very exciting things happening there.
And so I just thank people for their support, their word of mouth.
And thank you so much, Sean, for helping get me back in shape.
shawn b johnson
Thank you, brother.
I appreciate you for coming on.
And I'll end it with still no Epstein list.
So all you know is chaos we've been talking about.
Still no Epstein list.
alex jones
You know who's over, not releasing him?
Todd Blanche.
shawn b johnson
Oh, that's weird.
alex jones
The guy that went and interviewed Gislane Maxwell and then put her in a minimum security prison, the best of the country.
shawn b johnson
Yeah.
alex jones
He's a nice man.
unidentified
Yeah.
shawn b johnson
And he's Trump's right-hand man right now.
So, anyways.
alex jones
Yeah, that implicates Trump.
I mean, here's the deal.
They had that high-level whistleblower that was the head of the case the first five years that they caught on tape going, no, Trump's not involved.
Which we already know.
But it doesn't matter.
After the fact, he's been convinced for the CIA and Masad, who are both involved, to cover it up.
unidentified
Yeah.
alex jones
And so, and who is there?
Todd Blanche.
shawn b johnson
Yeah.
alex jones
So, and now that he's got that, now that he's over that case, he feels invincible that he can then deep six anything else he wants.
shawn b johnson
Maybe he has something over Trump's head.
Never know.
jordan holmes
Epstein.
shawn b johnson
All right, brother.
I love you.
Let's do this again soon.
alex jones
People can find me on Exit.
Real Alex Jones.
Find the live feeds there and so much more.
Thank you, Sean.
shawn b johnson
Thank you, everybody.
Bye.
dan friesen
So we impeach Trump then?
jordan holmes
Like, what are we talking about?
Absolutely insane way to end and not go like, we're crazy, right?
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
We have accepted all fanciful things and nothing means anything because I'm both like, hey, Epstein should come out.
But also I'm like, but I don't care.
Fucking crazy.
dan friesen
Well, and I think that this reveals a system that could be threatening the conspiracy community a little bit.
And that is like Alex and his brand of shit.
It's similar to the way that some of the more mainstream right-wing talking heads, radio show hosts would work in the past.
And that is for the friend group, we scapegoat someone.
So like nothing is Trump's fault.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
It's Bill Barr's fault.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
It is Todd Blanch's fault.
We find this other person.
He's the one who the Epstein stuff definitely totally mad about that, but it's his fault.
jordan holmes
We do not let the buck stop with Trump.
dan friesen
Right.
Whereas with the other side, every single underling, everything they do is Obama's fault.
Everything is Clinton's fault.
Clinton actually orchestrated all of these little downstream decisions and everything.
And I think that some of the more like newer wave conspiracy folks, they don't buy into that same old right-wing mentality of protecting where the buck stops.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like Sean seems entirely willing to be like, well, that fucking means that Trump is involved in this.
And people like Nick Fuentes isn't willing to just be like, yeah, Trump gets a pass.
We'll just blame the guy at the DOJ or whatever.
And I think if they can't get on the same page about that, that's going to be a problem.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I mean, I think in our lifetime, I can only point to examples of them essentially circling the wagons, being like, listen, sure, we've yelled about this for a while, but now that we know we're not going to get any traction with this, we're just going to pretend it didn't happen.
We're just going to move on like, bah, ba, ba, ba, bay.
Yeah, sure.
They caught this guy doing whatever.
Didn't happen.
We're moving on, you know, because we've already agreed that we're going to let Trump off the hook for it.
So if we've already done that, then let's not like pick it a scab.
Right.
dan friesen
Yeah, totally.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And that's what this ending feels like.
jordan holmes
Exactly.
dan friesen
It feels like Alex kind of trying to be like, hey, look, we've already kind of litigated this.
Yeah, we moved on.
We don't care.
jordan holmes
He lost.
He gets to do whatever he wants.
He can rape kids.
I don't care.
He was right.
He can shoot a guy in the street and we'll be like, you get to be more president.
dan friesen
Yeah.
And I think that There's, I don't know exactly how it plays out because I think that people who are willing to call out the hub of power or whatever and not be like, well, let's blame the scapegoat.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I think that they have possibly more of a moral indignation behind them.
unidentified
Sure.
dan friesen
And I think that they can sell their argument better to people who aren't like already in.
And so I feel like that would be ascendant.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But then, like, who's going to fucking listen to Sean Johnson?
jordan holmes
I mean, that's, I think that's probably the, if, if, if we had, let's say, a fair marketplace of ideas, I think maybe Sean Johnson's point of view would get more traction overall.
But since the overwhelming money can put its put a hand on the scale to like, hey, Trump gets to do whatever he wants.
It's Blanche, you know?
dan friesen
Yeah, but the problem is like the marketplace of ideas, like if it were just like a free and open marketplace, like the guy who's like, no, we still need to blame Trump is also the guy who's like, I don't know.
I think Charlie Kirk's assassination might have been faked.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
So like, what kind of quality of ideas are we working with?
jordan holmes
I mean, I think here's my problem.
I agree with you.
I think that's probably because we're downstream of those guys already.
You know what I mean?
Like, if we had gone back to a place before where they have poisoned us all in this horrible well of bullshit, then maybe we would have Sean Johnson be like, you know, I have questions about regular government.
unidentified
Where did Texas go?
dan friesen
What's a bill?
jordan holmes
What is a bill?
Can we start with what is a bill?
dan friesen
Is there a song I could listen to that explains how a bill becomes a law?
jordan holmes
I mean this very seriously.
When you are writing a bill, what words do you use?
Are they in French?
dan friesen
Anyway, I regret this.
I think that Sean is boring as shit.
I think he I don't know, man.
These people, like InfoWars is thin.
Yeah.
I don't even think that he works for InfoWars.
I think he's just a Jason.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And like, this is the kind of like media talent we've got around.
It's bad news.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I watched a couple of Owens shows and they're terrible and pathetic, right?
But I think there's something interesting going on there.
There's nothing going on with this guy.
jordan holmes
No, this is brutal.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
This is emptiness.
dan friesen
So I will not return to the Sean Johnson well.
jordan holmes
I bet his triceps are great.
unidentified
So good.
jordan holmes
I bet they are fucking tight.
dan friesen
And you know what?
I would love it if he was my trainer.
Yeah.
Because I think it would be adversarial.
jordan holmes
And I think that that might be able to get that might get you an extra couple of sit-ups is being like, I gotta tell you, you suck.
unidentified
Yes.
jordan holmes
I gotta tell you, you suck.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
I gotta tell you, you suck.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So, Sean, I'd like to hire you.
My trainer.
jordan holmes
All right.
dan friesen
But I'll never listen to this.
But we'll be back with another episode about some other dumb bullshit.
Indeed.
But until then, we have a website.
jordan holmes
Indeed, we do.
It's KnowledgeFight.com.
dan friesen
Yep, we'll be back.
But until then, I'm Neo.
I'm Leo.
I'm DZX Clark.
I am the Mysterious Professor.
unidentified
Yeah, and now here comes the sex robot.
alex jones
Andy and Kansas, you're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
andy in kansas
Hello, Alex.
I'm a first Tim Caller.
I'm a huge fan.
I love your work.
