=== Knowledge Fight Respect (03:47) ===

[00:00:16]  Dan and Jordan, I am sweating.
[00:00:19]  Knowledgefight.com.
[00:00:20]  It's time to pray.
[00:00:21]  I have great respect for the knowledge fight.
[00:00:24]  Knowledge fight.
[00:00:25]  I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys.
[00:00:27]  Shang, we are the bad guys.
[00:00:29]  Knowledge fight.
[00:00:30]  Dan and Jordan.
[00:00:31]  Knowledge fight.
[00:00:34]  I need, I need money.
[00:00:39]  Andy and Pansy.
[00:00:40]  Andy and Pandy.
[00:00:42]  Stop it.
[00:00:42]  Andy and Pansy.
[00:00:43]  Andy in Kansas.
[00:00:45]  Andy.
[00:00:46]  It's time to pray.
[00:00:47]  Andy in Kansas.
[00:00:48]  You're on the earth.
[00:00:48]  Thanks for holding us.
[00:00:49]  Hello, Alex.
[00:00:50]  I'm a fish pin color over here today.
[00:00:51]  I love your room.
[00:00:53]  Knowledge fight.
[00:00:55]  Knowledgefight.com.
[00:00:58]  I love you.
[00:00:59]  Hey, everybody.
[00:01:00]  Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
[00:01:01]  I'm Dan.
[00:01:02]  I'm Jordan.
[00:01:02]  We're a couple dudes.
[00:01:03]  Like to sit around, worship at the altar of Celine, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
[00:01:07]  Oh, indeed we are, Dan.
[00:01:08]  Jordan.
[00:01:09]  Dan.
[00:01:09]  Jordan.
[00:01:10]  I have a quick question for you.
[00:01:11]  What's up?
[00:01:11]  What's your bright spot today, buddy?
[00:01:12]  It's December still, so why don't you go first?
[00:01:14]  December.
[00:01:15]  My bright spot, I think, is since we already know where your bright spot's headed, for the both of us, I will choose our amazing live shows in Portland.
[00:01:24]  What fun.
[00:01:24]  It could not have gone better.
[00:01:26]  It's smoother.
[00:01:27]  We made a lot of comments and insults about the rain on Thursday.
[00:01:32]  Definitely true.
[00:01:32]  It was still a lot of fun.
[00:01:33]  And it wasn't that bad.
[00:01:35]  It was an experience, too.
[00:01:37]  It was an interesting experience, even if it wasn't perfect.
[00:01:40]  And then Friday's show is incredible.
[00:01:42]  Everybody's, it was just great.
[00:01:44]  Yeah, meeting people was a lot of fun and everyone is, I think, I assume everyone had a good time.
[00:01:49]  Yeah.
[00:01:50]  It seemed like it.
[00:01:51]  And but I'll say that my bright spot, my bright bright spot is this.
[00:01:55]  Not to put the venue's business out there, but in times many venues have had to deal with frustrating audience members who are causing problems, right?
[00:02:04]  So they got security and they got all this stuff.
[00:02:07]  And they had asked us whether or not we needed anything.
[00:02:09]  And I told the guys before the show even started, you won't need to worry about our audience, right?
[00:02:13]  People are generally pretty chill.
[00:02:16]  Probably going to be cool.
[00:02:17]  On Thursday, 10 minutes before our show, I'm in the little side there, off to the side of the stage.
[00:02:24]  Alcove.
[00:02:25]  Just looking out, seeing all the people wander in, and an independent security guy, and like just out of nowhere, pops up and he's like, I got to say, your audience is the nicest group of people we have had in here in I don't know how long.
[00:02:37]  Also, here are some cookies someone gave us.
[00:02:39]  Absolutely.
[00:02:40]  Yes, 100%.
[00:02:42]  And it was Thursday, so they're like, even with the rain, even with the rain, we would be like, oh, somebody's mad about it.
[00:02:47]  Everybody was unfailingly polite and trying to help other people first.
[00:02:51]  Yeah.
[00:02:51]  And it's like, very wonderful.
[00:02:53]  It doesn't get better than that.
[00:02:54]  It just doesn't.
[00:02:55]  Yeah, definitely.
[00:02:56]  Yep.
[00:02:56]  The venue was fantastic as a whole.
[00:02:59]  And, you know, they didn't need to fight anybody, but still provided all the security and infrastructure that just let everything go so smooth.
[00:03:10]  It's just awesome.
[00:03:11]  Yeah.
[00:03:11]  You picked a good one.
[00:03:12]  Yep.
[00:03:13]  We worked it out this time.
[00:03:15]  Yeah, just a blast.
[00:03:16]  Also, just, I love to get out of town.
[00:03:18]  Yeah.
[00:03:18]  We need to do more of that.
[00:03:19]  Portland's awesome.
[00:03:20]  Yeah.
[00:03:21]  People are great.
[00:03:22]  Yeah.
[00:03:22]  We got to travel more.
[00:03:23]  Yep.
[00:03:24]  So we should.
[00:03:25]  It's weird because nobody ever asks us to go to where they live.
[00:03:27]  Everybody's like, stay away from us.
[00:03:30]  Don't go to places like Atlanta or anything like that.
[00:03:33]  It's weird.
[00:03:33]  Well, we can't go to Atlanta because of the pyramids.
[00:03:37]  That is true.
[00:03:37]  Right.
[00:03:38]  That is true.
[00:03:39]  That is a thought that we had.
[00:03:41]  Right.
[00:03:41]  And I do have a really good idea for an episode in Atlanta.
[00:03:46]  Yeah.
[00:03:46]  Oh, well.

=== Mature Gouda Revealed (03:51) ===

[00:03:49]  So anyway, thank you for finding the venue, putting all those pieces together.
[00:03:55]  Of course.
[00:03:55]  Crushed it.
[00:03:56]  Thank you, everybody, for coming out.
[00:03:57]  Yeah.
[00:03:57]  And thank you for putting on some great shows, Dan.
[00:03:59]  Good times.
[00:04:00]  Good times.
[00:04:01]  All right.
[00:04:01]  What's your bright spot?
[00:04:02]  Well, it is December.
[00:04:03]  Okay.
[00:04:03]  And even though Advent calendars only last 24 days, I have a leftover cheese here from the Advent calendar because I didn't end up eating all of them.
[00:04:14]  I ate most of them.
[00:04:15]  I didn't eat all of them.
[00:04:16]  Okay.
[00:04:16]  And so we have another installment of cheese.
[00:04:20]  I've had some of the big cheeses.
[00:04:22]  That is really big, folks.
[00:04:24]  This is a big old cheese.
[00:04:25]  That is a really big cheese.
[00:04:27]  Thank you to Morgan for sending in that sound drop.
[00:04:30]  I got here one of the Advent Calendar cheeses.
[00:04:34]  And this, my friend.
[00:04:35]  You know, we've had a mature Gouda.
[00:04:37]  Sure.
[00:04:37]  Is this an immature Gouda?
[00:04:39]  Oh, this is a mature Gouda.
[00:04:40]  That is not an immature Gouda.
[00:04:41]  No, but it's just a Gouda.
[00:04:43]  So that implies that it is not mature.
[00:04:45]  That's a good point.
[00:04:46]  Yeah.
[00:04:46]  If you have mature guts.
[00:04:47]  If you require a modifier, then the modifier does seem necessary.
[00:04:52]  This is youthful Gouda that is just out of control.
[00:04:56]  Right.
[00:04:57]  Doesn't understand the value of a dollar.
[00:04:59]  Nope.
[00:04:59]  Nope.
[00:04:59]  Doesn't think that it'll get old one day.
[00:05:01]  Still smokes a pack a day.
[00:05:03]  Immature Gouda.
[00:05:04]  Yeah, disgusting.
[00:05:05]  But it's immature Gouda with mustard seed.
[00:05:08]  Ooh.
[00:05:08]  So excited to try this.
[00:05:10]  And this is the part where I open this up.
[00:05:12]  Jordan vamps.
[00:05:13]  Well, I am glad to vamp today because at the end of the year, I like to check out people's top music lists.
[00:05:19]  And for the most part, they are usually terrible.
[00:05:22]  And I feel like an old, old man.
[00:05:24]  But there's a new person to me.
[00:05:26]  I don't know if they're new at all, but their name is Anastasia or Anastasia or whatever you want to call it.
[00:05:32]  And they sound like a mixture of Nina Simone and Tom Waits.
[00:05:38]  The album is Tether, and it is one of the best that I've listened to.
[00:05:42]  I don't know how many times in a row now because this voice is incredible.
[00:05:46]  It is astonishing.
[00:05:48]  And I can't stop listening to it.
[00:05:50]  Nice.
[00:05:50]  Yeah.
[00:05:50]  Listen to that voice.
[00:05:52]  I don't love that cheese.
[00:05:53]  I believe you.
[00:05:54]  It's very immature.
[00:05:55]  I think that one of these cheeses with peppercorns, that adds a lot.
[00:06:00]  I don't know if mustard seeds give you the same.
[00:06:04]  I don't know if it compliments as well.
[00:06:06]  Yeah.
[00:06:06]  I don't love it.
[00:06:08]  The peppercorn kind of bursts when you break it.
[00:06:11]  The seed kind of smooshes.
[00:06:13]  A little bit.
[00:06:13]  Doesn't it?
[00:06:14]  Doesn't the seed kind of mush?
[00:06:15]  Yeah.
[00:06:15]  Yeah, it's a difference.
[00:06:17]  Not the best.
[00:06:18]  So I also looked at someone's year-end list.
[00:06:21]  Oh, yeah?
[00:06:22]  Yep.
[00:06:22]  Yep.
[00:06:22]  And I discovered this little indie band.
[00:06:25]  Chicago.
[00:06:26]  You ever heard of them?
[00:06:28]  I have heard of Chicago.
[00:06:29]  They're named after the city we live in.
[00:06:31]  Yeah.
[00:06:31]  Yeah.
[00:06:32]  It's easy to remember their name, really.
[00:06:34]  Very obscure band.
[00:06:35]  Yeah.
[00:06:35]  A lot of horns.
[00:06:36]  Yes.
[00:06:37]  Yeah.
[00:06:37]  Big horn band.
[00:06:38]  Yep.
[00:06:39]  Some awful, awful ballad.
[00:06:42]  Yep.
[00:06:43]  So, Jordan, today we have an episode to go over.
[00:06:45]  All right.
[00:06:45]  We're going to be talking about December 2nd, 2025.
[00:06:49]  Jumping back into normal times.
[00:06:52]  Right.
[00:06:52]  No audience in front of us.
[00:06:54]  Nope.
[00:06:54]  Just doing the work.
[00:06:56]  And because we are back to a normal situation here, we should start with saying hello to some walks.
[00:07:01]  Ooh, that's a great idea.
[00:07:02]  So first, Jules Makes Games, developer of the Outbreak Story.
[00:07:06]  Thank you so much, Joanna Policy Wonk.
[00:07:08]  I'm a policy wonk.
[00:07:09]  Thank you very much.
[00:07:09]  Thank you.
[00:07:10]  Next, Harry Azkarak.
[00:07:13]  Thank you so much, Joan Iowa Policy Wonk.
[00:07:15]  I'm a policy wonk.
[00:07:16]  Thank you very much.
[00:07:16]  Thank you.
[00:07:18]  And the Baron von Ricken Bowen ticking pocket plus one to the poppin' party at Bohemian Grove is reserved for Millika Millika Momo.

=== Revealing Racial Insanity (15:30) ===

[00:07:30]  Thank you so much, you're an Iowa Policy Wonk.
[00:07:32]  I'm a policy wonk.
[00:07:33]  Thank you very much.
[00:07:33]  Thank you.
[00:07:34]  And we have Technocrat in the mix, Jordan.
[00:07:35]  So thank you so much to Josh C. Thank you for moderating the Facebook group.
[00:07:39]  You've put in a lot of work to do the most thankless job you can find.
[00:07:42]  Well, here's your reward.
[00:07:43]  You are now a technocrat.
[00:07:45]  I'm a policy wonk.
[00:07:46]  Four stars.
[00:07:47]  Go honky and mother telling you brilliant.
[00:07:49]  Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop.
[00:07:52]  Daddy Sharp.
[00:07:54]  Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent.
[00:07:58]  He's a loser, little kitty baby.
[00:08:01]  I don't want to hate black people.
[00:08:03]  I renounce Jesus Christ.
[00:08:05]  Thank you so much.
[00:08:05]  Thank you very much.
[00:08:07]  So, December 2nd, we are here in the last month of the year.
[00:08:12]  Shit's bad.
[00:08:13]  Nah.
[00:08:15]  It's going great.
[00:08:16]  Trump's covering up the Epstein file stuff.
[00:08:19]  The deadline is a couple of weeks away.
[00:08:22]  Right.
[00:08:23]  The deadline's in the past, and yet somehow we still haven't hit it.
[00:08:26]  Well, we did hit one.
[00:08:27]  And then, yeah.
[00:08:31]  At this point, the imagined deadline is a couple weeks away.
[00:08:35]  And so there's kind of a little bit of breathing room on that stuff, maybe a little bit less poking.
[00:08:39]  Sure.
[00:08:40]  Marjorie Taylor Greene has resigned.
[00:08:42]  Still resigned.
[00:08:43]  Venezuela looks bad.
[00:08:45]  Coming up.
[00:08:46]  And so this is the situation we find ourselves in as Alex is on the show and he starts with a little bit of audio from Trump's press conference.
[00:08:55]  All right.
[00:08:55]  Or no, it's a cabinet meeting that he's doing.
[00:08:58]  Japan a lot.
[00:08:59]  We just had Toyota is going to spend $10 billion they just announced on building new plants in this country.
[00:09:05]  Our workers think it would be our workers.
[00:09:09]  That's the ongoing cabinet meeting he's having.
[00:09:13]  And I just noticed as we were going live, he was talking about how great the economy is and cheerleading American business, which is important to get foreign investment into the country.
[00:09:23]  But for the average American, he told them, oh, I'll be able to cut inflation back overnight.
[00:09:30]  And I said, that's a campaign promise.
[00:09:34]  He's not going to be able to do that very quickly.
[00:09:35]  They can slow it and get a lot of new jobs and get payup, which will balance out, which is the policy.
[00:09:41]  Cool policy or stagflation, depression with inflation, which is the great reset, which is what the globalists want.
[00:09:50]  So instead of explaining that to people, he just gets up and says, we have the best economy ever, best economy in the world.
[00:09:57]  So Alex's take on Trump here is that he's trying to court foreign investment by lying to and gaslighting the American public into thinking that the economy is better than it is.
[00:10:06]  Further, Alex is clearly accepting that Trump rose to power by making cynical false promises about how he could fix the issues that impact the public, just like every other politician in history.
[00:10:17]  Alex didn't say that the fixing inflation was a campaign promise.
[00:10:22]  This is just rhetoric.
[00:10:23]  Nope.
[00:10:24]  That's not what he said at the time.
[00:10:25]  No, in fact, he was promising things during the campaign.
[00:10:28]  Yeah.
[00:10:28]  Rhetorically.
[00:10:30]  It sounds to me like Alex is describing an elitist liar who wants to use the power of the state to enrich multinational corporations while ignoring the economic factors that hurt everyday people.
[00:10:40]  Sure.
[00:10:40]  Which is not surprising for Trump, unless you believed that the version Alex is pretended exists is real.
[00:10:46]  Yeah, I mean, I'm fine.
[00:10:48]  You got bamboozled.
[00:10:49]  We all get bamboozled.
[00:10:50]  You believed it in the past.
[00:10:52]  That happens.
[00:10:52]  You know, what are you going to say?
[00:10:53]  Sure.
[00:10:54]  You made a mistake.
[00:10:55]  Yeah.
[00:10:55]  Change, grow, move on.
[00:10:57]  I just don't understand how, even if you like Trump generally, you would listen to him and go, I should believe what he's saying.
[00:11:03]  Right?
[00:11:04]  Like, if it's something you like or don't like, you should just be like, hey, I don't believe you.
[00:11:08]  I think this guy's the best man for the job, but I don't believe any words he's saying.
[00:11:12]  Yeah.
[00:11:12]  Yeah.
[00:11:13]  Honestly, I mean, like, the lesser of two evils type arguments, they're always pathetic, but it's legitimately the only one that makes sense anymore.
[00:11:21]  There's just nothing else to say.
[00:11:22]  He's a piece of shit.
[00:11:23]  Why the fuck do I hate the other people?
[00:11:25]  What else is there to say?
[00:11:26]  I know he's a piece of shit.
[00:11:27]  Yeah.
[00:11:28]  The world is away from everyone's eyes.
[00:11:31]  Undeniable.
[00:11:32]  This is a turd gleaming in the sun.
[00:11:36]  We all see it.
[00:11:37]  But I guess, what about our emails, man?
[00:11:40]  It could be worse is basically the only sales pitch we have left.
[00:11:44]  Yep.
[00:11:44]  So the base, and I think Alex assesses this fairly accurately, is just kind of tired that Trump keeps lying to them.
[00:11:51]  Yeah.
[00:11:52]  But he really should stop telling people.
[00:11:54]  And I've had Raspberry Simpholsters on over the past.
[00:11:56]  Everybody.
[00:11:57]  This is what pisses people off.
[00:12:00]  And when I criticize Trump, it's to get him to course correct, which they're doing more and more.
[00:12:05]  But man, he just loves to talk about the $18 trillion committed and the $6,78 trillion that's already now being invested.
[00:12:11]  And that's going to be great in a year or so.
[00:12:15]  But it's not here yet.
[00:12:17]  Yeah, they're building these factories, chip factories, car factory stuff everywhere.
[00:12:21]  It's definitely coming back.
[00:12:24]  Trump vowed to end inflation.
[00:12:26]  His voters are growing impatient.
[00:12:29]  Yeah, big time.
[00:12:30]  People are ordering smaller pizzas and fewer toppings.
[00:12:33]  What does that tell us?
[00:12:34]  Oh, no.
[00:12:35]  If you cut through all the bullshit, what Alex is saying is that the base is sick of Trump lying to their face about things that they're personally experiencing.
[00:12:43]  He can crow about how great the economy is, but they're buying pizzas with less toppings on them.
[00:12:49]  So what if some American billionaires are getting richer?
[00:12:53]  The reality of Trump's gold toilet and fraud lifestyle is finally catching up to the folks who have been forced to pretend that his political beliefs were ones that helped the working person.
[00:13:03]  The populist illusion is becoming impossible for the base to accept.
[00:13:06]  And that's a huge problem for Alex.
[00:13:08]  In order to keep supporting him as a media surrogate, Alex needs Trump to tone down the pompous narcissism and act more like a normal president.
[00:13:16]  But Trump never was that and was never going to be.
[00:13:20]  It's stuff like this, where Alex is thinking he can just yell at Trump and he'll course correct that make me suspect that Alex didn't fully understand the game he was playing with Trump and Roger.
[00:13:30]  I wouldn't be too surprised if Alex thought they were going to do all the chaotic stuff and it would be an elaborate strategy to facilitate the white identity takeover of the government and that they would start operating efficiently and smoothly once that takeover had happened.
[00:13:43]  Amazing.
[00:13:44]  I don't think he realized that the chaos and being an asshole thing was never going to stop.
[00:13:49]  That is who these people are.
[00:13:51]  I think he thought like, isn't it a brilliant strategy?
[00:13:55]  The libs can't stop crying.
[00:13:57]  I mean, I don't know how better to describe like or how better to elucidate how bad an idea it is to just like trigger the libs as a political ideology other than to say, look, this is what happens when you're triggering is your entire political ideology.
[00:14:16]  A thief and a con man.
[00:14:19]  That's it.
[00:14:20]  Yeah, and I think that if someone on the left like had no, like not a lot or maybe no substance past like, fuck, the right-wingers are pissed at this guy.
[00:14:30]  What value does that have?
[00:14:32]  I don't think, I really don't think you'd get a lot of traction.
[00:14:35]  No.
[00:14:35]  You might become a social media star or something.
[00:14:38]  You might get like a following on Twitter.
[00:14:40]  Right.
[00:14:41]  But I don't know.
[00:14:42]  I don't know if there's a voter base for just like.
[00:14:45]  You know what?
[00:14:46]  I think you've just, I think you've hit your nail.
[00:14:48]  No, no, no.
[00:14:48]  I think you've kind of hit the nail on the head, right?
[00:14:51]  The limits of social media star on like a quote liberal kind of perspective will not be president.
[00:15:04]  Probably not.
[00:15:05]  On the right-wing, social media star means you could become president.
[00:15:08]  Ed King.
[00:15:09]  Yeah, absolutely.
[00:15:10]  Ed King.
[00:15:11]  I made a haha sound because I realized like Gavin Newsom had been trying to do that acting like Trump online thing.
[00:15:18]  And that was specifically just to make right-wingers mad.
[00:15:22]  Yeah.
[00:15:22]  But I also think there was some backlash from people even on the left.
[00:15:25]  They're like, why are you doing that?
[00:15:26]  What are you doing?
[00:15:28]  You're not making people who you want to like you like you.
[00:15:31]  Yeah.
[00:15:31]  You're an asshole.
[00:15:32]  There isn't governing value in this.
[00:15:34]  No, that's the problem.
[00:15:35]  Yeah.
[00:15:36]  So Alex has a guest coming on, and it's an exciting guest.
[00:15:39]  It's an avant-garde guest, and it's a Nazi guest.
[00:15:42]  God damn it.
[00:15:43]  Nick Fuentez, very controversial individual, will be joining me in the third and fourth hour today to discuss and debate different world events and how he sees the midterms coming up.
[00:15:56]  His analysis of the Trump administration, his take on the fact that Israel and its undue influence in the United States is now one of the major front-burner issues we will talk about a lot with Nick coming up in the third and fourth hour.
[00:16:16]  And you saw the big controversy when Tucker a month ago interviewed him and folks trying to cancel Tucker.
[00:16:22]  You can't have the left saying Christians, Catholics, and whites are inherently evil and bad.
[00:16:30]  And I've got big compilations here of that.
[00:16:32]  You've all seen it everywhere.
[00:16:33]  And then when somebody turns around and says, fine, I'll be race-based back against you, and then say they're the devil.
[00:16:39]  It is the globalists, it is the universities, it is the left that pray to this climate.
[00:16:45]  And Nick Fuentez is mild compared to where a lot of people are going.
[00:16:50]  So Tucker Carlson was, until recently, the highest watched and paid anchor on Fox News.
[00:16:57]  He's someone with a decades spanning career in mainstream broadcast journalism, and he's friends with the president as well as most of the administration.
[00:17:05]  He gives keynote speeches at turning point events in front of arenas and recently held a tour of his own events where he interviewed thought leaders of the extreme right wing like Russell Brand, Alex himself, and Trump's son.
[00:17:17]  There's no equivalent of him that Alex can play in any compilation who's saying that white people or Christians are inherently evil, nor is there any equivalent of him Alex can come up with who's giving friendly interviews to people who say that white people or Christians are evil.
[00:17:32]  I'm sure there's some kind of random people on TikTok or maybe even people with sizable audiences that say that kind of shit.
[00:17:39]  But in terms of a figure who's accepted as part of the mainstream of broadcasting, who's personally associated with all of the power structure and whose dad was apparently in the CIA, there's no one close.
[00:17:50]  If someone online, you know, if they're being racist against white people, that sucks and they shouldn't do that.
[00:17:56]  But it doesn't justify interviewing and being friends with explicit white supremacists.
[00:18:00]  You can't just say they started it and then everything is cool.
[00:18:04]  Yeah.
[00:18:05]  We've been doing this show for a long time.
[00:18:06]  So it's very clear to us that Alex's message has always been rooted in white identity and that Nick is exactly the sort of person he would want to promote.
[00:18:14]  He's struggled to get Nick to speak in more PC-coded language so he wouldn't scare off some of the more normy people left in the Infowars audience, but it's become clear that isn't happening and that Nick has no reason to moderate his message at all.
[00:18:26]  Other figures bend to him, not the other way around.
[00:18:31]  So if Alex wants to continue this association with Nick, the thing to do is explain to the audience how racism is totally cool and loving it doesn't make you a racist.
[00:18:40]  If someone else is racist to you, you get to be racist back as a defense.
[00:18:44]  It makes perfect sense.
[00:18:46]  Anyway, the point here is that Alex can't even really hide what he's doing anymore.
[00:18:50]  Trump won't stop lying and covering up sex trafficking networks.
[00:18:53]  So Alex has to justify lying and covering up sex trafficking networks.
[00:18:57]  Nick won't calm down with his very obvious racism.
[00:19:00]  So Alex just has to justify being cool with racists and hanging out with them and thinking they're right about stuff.
[00:19:08]  He thinks he's hiding a ball with this kind of talk, but he's really just showing people who he's always been.
[00:19:14]  It's just now there's nowhere left to hide.
[00:19:16]  Yeah, it is like when you are revealing that you have to sit down and imagine a scenario that makes this okay.
[00:19:27]  And the scenario you come up with is so cinematically ridiculous that you like literally he's requiring a cigar chomping movie villain to be like, and we will end Christianity in order to justify his friends existing regularly.
[00:19:44]  Right?
[00:19:44]  Like that's insane.
[00:19:46]  That's the only thing that would kind of make it okay for me to do this interview.
[00:19:50]  So that's the world we live in.
[00:19:51]  Right.
[00:19:52]  It hasn't occurred to you that that is so far insane that what you're revealing is how fucking racist you really are.
[00:19:58]  Yeah.
[00:19:58]  Yeah.
[00:19:59]  And how much you know it's inappropriate to be doing that.
[00:20:01]  Absolutely.
[00:20:02]  Like, and like we've talked about before, like, Alex has known the entire time that he's known Nick and the Groypers.
[00:20:09]  He's known that behind the scenes, they fucking love Hitler and they're not joking.
[00:20:13]  Yeah.
[00:20:14]  He knows that.
[00:20:15]  And he has chosen to ignore that because he also wants to expand that message.
[00:20:21]  Right.
[00:20:22]  Right.
[00:20:22]  Here's, see, okay.
[00:20:23]  See, here's why it's okay for us to be racist.
[00:20:26]  I know, I know it seems bad to you right now, but there are aliens who are going to kill everybody unless it's just white people.
[00:20:35]  So do you get it?
[00:20:36]  There's only two options.
[00:20:37]  There's just white people or everybody dies.
[00:20:40]  Well, when you put it like that.
[00:20:40]  I mean, there's no choice, right?
[00:20:42]  We have to have the species continue.
[00:20:44]  So it's not racism, really.
[00:20:45]  Get in Elon Musk's ship quick, right?
[00:20:48]  So there's international intrigue going on.
[00:20:52]  And by that, I mean Trump is blowing up boats.
[00:20:55]  Yeah.
[00:20:55]  And he shouldn't be.
[00:20:57]  It doesn't seem cool.
[00:20:58]  Alex loves it.
[00:21:00]  A lot of really good questions got asked at the Pentagon today by Jack Pesobic, by Breanna Morello, our reporter, and others.
[00:21:07]  We've got a lot of that coming up.
[00:21:09]  Part of the color revolution is falsely claiming that Hag Seth is a war criminal and that blowing up those drug boats is illegal.
[00:21:20]  And of course it's not.
[00:21:22]  That's all part and parcel of this.
[00:21:24]  The argument that's made in favor of blowing up these Venezuelan boats is that they're carrying lots of drugs, which will end up killing U.S. citizens if they aren't blown up.
[00:21:33]  The people on board have no rights because they're trafficking drugs in a way that Trump has decided to make them terrorists so they can be killed indiscriminately.
[00:21:40]  Obviously, I disagree with this, but if Alex accepts that killing people in those boats is just and legal, why did he ever have a problem with the war in Afghanistan?
[00:21:49]  It wasn't the whole story, but folks like Tucker in the past justified fighting the Taliban by pointing out that they were responsible for a large chunk of the international opium production, and that was killing America.
[00:22:01]  It's so totally crazy how often it's okay for people to kill other people as long as they're doing something to us.
[00:22:06]  Sure.
[00:22:07]  Abstractly.
[00:22:08]  Yeah.
[00:22:09]  Maybe.
[00:22:09]  It was to Alex's credit that he didn't accept this as a justification for war in the 2000s.
[00:22:14]  But here we are 20 years later, and it's pathetic to see where he's ended up.
[00:22:18]  If he believes that the United States military can indiscriminately blow up boats and kill whoever it wants, then every criticism that he's ever made of U.S. militarism falls apart.
[00:22:28]  And so many of the things that were like, well, he makes a good point there.
[00:22:32]  It's like, well, no, he clearly didn't mean it.
[00:22:35]  Didn't mean a fucking word of it.
[00:22:37]  That was about something else.
[00:22:38]  Yeah, it is like the concept of thought leader reveals itself to be fucking stupid whenever you realize these people are just following along with what is popular at the time.

=== Why Don't They Have To Prove It? (01:33) ===

[00:22:49]  You know, like, oh, oh, no, it's good.
[00:22:51]  We're going to lie.
[00:22:52]  Fuck off.
[00:22:53]  Yeah.
[00:22:53]  It's just ridiculous.
[00:22:55]  And I find it to be really just deeply troubling.
[00:23:00]  Yeah.
[00:23:01]  Because I think that, like, okay, I think that there's no excuse to blow up these boats.
[00:23:07]  Yeah.
[00:23:08]  And I think that arguing in favor of it is something that, like, what can't the military do then?
[00:23:14]  When?
[00:23:15]  Like, at what point can Alex really have a problem with them like doing a false flag?
[00:23:21]  Absolutely.
[00:23:22]  Even.
[00:23:22]  And why don't they have to prove it?
[00:23:24]  Yeah.
[00:23:25]  You know, like, if you're just willing to take them by their word, then what else have they said to you?
[00:23:31]  You know, like, why wouldn't anything be okay?
[00:23:33]  Yeah.
[00:23:33]  There's a lot of criticism that should go around for all kinds of, you know, particularly the violent things that our governments do.
[00:23:40]  Right.
[00:23:42]  And I think that giving a pass on something so awful as this for such an easy, such an easy level to get to to be critical of.
[00:23:52]  Right.
[00:23:53]  It means that you'd sign off on just about anything.
[00:23:56]  Yeah.
[00:23:56]  Yeah.
[00:23:57]  And with drugs, specifically because we have seen them in our lifetime change from legal to illegal and back to legal and back to illegal, right?

=== Muhammad Wrecks It All (05:17) ===

[00:24:07]  Revealing the arbitrary nature of their legality means that this is by no means a moral decision.
[00:24:13]  No.
[00:24:13]  This could be, this drug could be legal tomorrow, and they still wouldn't apologize for blowing up the boats yesterday.
[00:24:20]  It's not a moral thing.
[00:24:21]  Yeah, if the drug were accessed in a different way, it might be illegal tomorrow.
[00:24:27]  Yep, absolutely.
[00:24:28]  And we would treat the problem entirely differently.
[00:24:31]  Either way.
[00:24:32]  Just an easy thing.
[00:24:33]  Again, either way, Donald Trump is murdering people and will get away with it however often he wants.
[00:24:41]  Cool.
[00:24:41]  Yeah.
[00:24:42]  So this next clip is what I would describe as a real anti-Muslim rant that Alex goes on.
[00:24:48]  Good stuff.
[00:24:49]  Pretty gross.
[00:24:50]  Pretty gross.
[00:24:51]  You know, over 80% of the military-age males that have come into Europe, it's the same number.
[00:24:58]  Some countries are up to 90.
[00:24:59]  They never get a job.
[00:25:02]  They either wear track suits or the nightgowns that they wear.
[00:25:05]  Their women wear the beekeeper outfits.
[00:25:08]  And they just create no-go zones and just sit around on welfare and then deal drugs and run sex slavery because we're Kafirs or infidels.
[00:25:18]  And so they're allowed to sell us drugs, put us in sex slavery because we're subhuman.
[00:25:23]  You mean to play a bunch of their newscast, national Islamic TV around the world saying that?
[00:25:31]  I mean, that's what's going on.
[00:25:35]  But they don't allow the jihadis in Saudi Arabia or Jordan or Egypt.
[00:25:40]  No, they're exported here by the leftist NGOs to further destabilize the country.
[00:25:49]  And it's a real shame because the Middle East, until the rise of Muhammad 1,400 years ago, had some of the greatest science, greatest art, greatest architecture, culture.
[00:26:03]  I mean, it was at the top.
[00:26:07]  Just leaps and mounts.
[00:26:10]  And as soon as Rome fell, the Middle East was becoming dominant just through culture and science.
[00:26:17]  And then in comes Muhammad and wrecks it all.
[00:26:22]  That doesn't sound good.
[00:26:23]  Absolutely wrecks it.
[00:26:24]  That seems breeding starts and the low IQs and the deformities and all the rest of it.
[00:26:30]  I find that strange to believe.
[00:26:34]  And the Arabic Muslims went and sacked all the other kingdoms around them where the people looked just like them, but they were cultured.
[00:26:45]  And that's what's so sad about it.
[00:26:47]  It is sad.
[00:26:48]  It is sad.
[00:26:49]  Destroyed it.
[00:26:50]  I don't even care to engage with the bigots Alex is putting out here, but I want to bring attention to one thing.
[00:26:56]  If Alex believes this, I struggle to see why he doesn't just say that being Muslim should be illegal.
[00:27:01]  Yeah.
[00:27:02]  I don't think he sees it as a religion, which means that there wouldn't be a conflict with the First Amendment if he wanted to just come out and say we should ban Islam.
[00:27:10]  Right.
[00:27:11]  Like, I don't understand what.
[00:27:13]  And we should label anybody who is Islamic a terrorist, and we should, anybody who's found holding a Quran should be arrested and et cetera, et cetera.
[00:27:21]  Well, goddamn it, we're Nazis again.
[00:27:23]  Shit.
[00:27:24]  I honestly don't think that there's much err between those two where he's at with this.
[00:27:33]  And I think that sucks.
[00:27:35]  I think he's a real asshole.
[00:27:39]  Here's where I'm thinking, right?
[00:27:42]  At this point, it's 2020.
[00:27:44]  It's about to be 2026.
[00:27:46]  True.
[00:27:46]  This whole America country has been going on for a while now.
[00:27:50]  Some patterns have developed.
[00:27:51]  For instance, a first-generation immigrant from anywhere will be called a welfare-sucking sex worker person monster, right?
[00:28:01]  And this has been true since 1790.
[00:28:04]  Yeah.
[00:28:04]  This has been true since 1680.
[00:28:06]  This has been true whenever a set of colonists were like, oh, we're going to be in Georgia.
[00:28:10]  And they were like, oh, those guys are all rapists.
[00:28:12]  Like, that's it.
[00:28:13]  Yeah.
[00:28:13]  Why don't we have it in our brochure for prospective immigrants?
[00:28:17]  Like, hey, our idiots, we tried.
[00:28:20]  Did we try?
[00:28:21]  Not really.
[00:28:21]  We put them in charge.
[00:28:22]  But anyways, our idiots are going to call you.
[00:28:24]  This is like part of the onboarding process.
[00:28:26]  Absolutely.
[00:28:26]  And you got to do your citizenship paperwork.
[00:28:29]  You got to do that.
[00:28:29]  And then there's the like waiver.
[00:28:31]  There's like, our idiots are just fucking stupid, man.
[00:28:33]  There's nothing we can do.
[00:28:34]  We apologize.
[00:28:35]  They're heavily armed and we stop them.
[00:28:37]  And then we gave them control of the government.
[00:28:39]  So we've made mistakes.
[00:28:41]  Anyways, welcome to Kansas.
[00:28:43]  Sure.
[00:28:44]  I think that one of the funny things about this jag that Alex goes on is that later Nick comes on and he's like, there is no real problem with Muslims in the United States.
[00:28:58]  Oh.
[00:28:59]  It's the Jews.

=== Mutual Respect or Arbitrary Hatred? (04:22) ===

[00:29:00]  Yeah, we're both smart.
[00:29:01]  We're both smart.
[00:29:02]  See, you're dumb.
[00:29:03]  You think it's Muslims.
[00:29:04]  I think it's Jews.
[00:29:06]  We've both arbitrarily chosen people from somewhere else to hate.
[00:29:09]  Yeah.
[00:29:09]  Hooray!
[00:29:10]  But his perspective on that fully takes the wind out of Alex's sails.
[00:29:16]  It's just like, why are you so scared of this thing that I am telling you is not a problem?
[00:29:22]  It is interesting because it's like, who are you scared of off?
[00:29:27]  You know, like, oh man, it's Muslims who are going to kill you.
[00:29:29]  You loser.
[00:29:30]  Muslims can't do shit.
[00:29:31]  It's the Jews who are coming after you.
[00:29:33]  Hey, hey, both of you, shut up.
[00:29:35]  The Indians are coming.
[00:29:36]  Yeah.
[00:29:37]  It's like a debate club kind of thing going on between a debate kid and a drunk guy who's not supposed to be at the school.
[00:29:45]  Yeah.
[00:29:46]  I'm afraid of spiders.
[00:29:48]  You idiot, it's scorpions.
[00:29:50]  Fuck you.
[00:29:51]  Yeah, they have more legs on a spider.
[00:29:54]  More legs on a spider, but the tail.
[00:29:57]  So Nick is coming in, and Alex reveals a little bit about how he likes to think about the boy.
[00:30:03]  The crew made this ridiculous graphic, which I love.
[00:30:08]  I'm Batman, and Nick Fuentez is Robin.
[00:30:13]  Nick's joining us here in about 53 minutes from now.
[00:30:18]  So there you go.
[00:30:19]  That should be an interesting discussion debate coming up in the third and fourth hour today.
[00:30:24]  And I'm going to have them post that image above the live feed on X and point out that Nick's on it about 50-something minutes and that please post your questions in that post under it.
[00:30:37]  And then, guys, print me off some of the questions or comments or statements so that we can do that on air with Nick.
[00:30:45]  We're going to post that again right on top of the live show fee at the top of X.
[00:30:49]  So you see that post.
[00:30:50]  You just put your comments or questions in there.
[00:30:52]  We'll print them off and I'll read those on air with Nick.
[00:30:55]  That way I'm not the one captain of the ship here.
[00:30:57]  You, the listeners, and the viewers are.
[00:30:59]  I want to take as little responsibility for this as possible.
[00:31:02]  Yep.
[00:31:02]  Now, I think that Batman and Robin have a partnership.
[00:31:07]  I think that there's a mutual respect that the two have.
[00:31:12]  Yeah.
[00:31:12]  And I think that Nick does not respect Alex at all.
[00:31:16]  No.
[00:31:16]  I think imagining himself to be Batman to Nick's Robin is insane.
[00:31:23]  Unless you think, like, well, it's Robin's job to steal the Batcave.
[00:31:29]  Yeah.
[00:31:30]  If Batman has associated with Robin for the sake of like turning the Batcave into a Nazi hideout.
[00:31:37]  Right, right, right.
[00:31:38]  Then, yeah.
[00:31:38]  Like the Batman comes home and then slowly over time is like, all this Batman iconography used to have more bat, and now it seems like a bunch of lying.
[00:31:48]  Oh, that's the Nazi symbol, isn't it?
[00:31:50]  Oh, no.
[00:31:52]  I did some remodeling, Batman.
[00:31:54]  But then Robin was like, hey, have you considered, though, that we're kind of exploiting the socioeconomic difference between us and the people that we describe as having a quote-unquote life of crime?
[00:32:03]  And so maybe actually we are the Nazis in the first place.
[00:32:05]  And then Batman's like, you're right.
[00:32:07]  And then they just go back to work.
[00:32:08]  Robin, I noticed that all of your thugs.
[00:32:11]  Why do you have thugs now, by the way?
[00:32:12]  They're thugs, Robin.
[00:32:13]  And they're all bald.
[00:32:14]  Yeah.
[00:32:15]  Is that a coincidence?
[00:32:16]  Yeah.
[00:32:16]  Their heads, I can see the skin.
[00:32:19]  Yeah.
[00:32:20]  So I think that there's a fascinating glimpse there into how the audience, or at least the staff of Inforce, wants to paint Alex's relationship with Nick and how much he wants to sign off on that.
[00:32:33]  Yeah.
[00:32:33]  Yeah.
[00:32:33]  And it's pathetic.
[00:32:36]  Well, I mean, I am Batman.
[00:32:37]  Right.
[00:32:38]  Sure, you are, man.
[00:32:39]  So Alex goes to calls.
[00:32:41]  And one of the things that comes up is the Venezuela situation.
[00:32:47]  And people are pretty reluctant to support this.
[00:32:50]  I think just random blow-um-ups.
[00:32:53]  Alex's audience, I don't think, is super interested in a war.
[00:32:56]  Right.
[00:32:57]  Because they were told this is all like peace candidate.
[00:33:00]  We're really against the war.
[00:33:02]  Yeah.
[00:33:03]  And so Alex has to defend it a little.
[00:33:05]  They are.
[00:33:06]  They are.
[00:33:06]  And we can see how they use the special ops group that went into Venezuela to overthrow Maduro on a secret note.

=== Trump's False Flag Strategy (15:34) ===

[00:33:13]  I just, like you said, we need to send the military in there, and we just need to stay away from the special forces because I think that's where the PSYOPs are going to take.
[00:33:23]  Well, it's not just the special forces, it's the CIA advising him to set them up.
[00:33:26]  Overall, Trump has the power to do regime change.
[00:33:28]  It's constitutional.
[00:33:29]  My problem is the setup.
[00:33:31]  I'm getting bad intel from the CIA.
[00:33:33]  And yeah, the setup that happened about three weeks ago where they put a fake group in and then rolled it up, embarrassed Trump.
[00:33:39]  Absolutely.
[00:33:40]  You know, that's the issue.
[00:33:41]  Thank you.
[00:33:42]  So Trump has the ability to do regime change.
[00:33:45]  He can do regime change.
[00:33:47]  He, not the government or like an act of Congress, can declare war.
[00:33:52]  Nothing like that.
[00:33:53]  Trump can do regime change.
[00:33:56]  Alex just doesn't want the CIA to trick him and make him look bad or something.
[00:34:00]  I don't, I can't imagine this squaring with the views that Alex is supposed to have.
[00:34:05]  Yeah.
[00:34:06]  Here's okay.
[00:34:08]  Now, this wasn't on purpose.
[00:34:10]  I'm not ascribing this to anybody's brilliance or capability whatsoever.
[00:34:15]  Not even competence.
[00:34:17]  But I find it interesting that because of the propaganda that's gone on for so long about Obama being a dictator during those years where everything was ascribed to him, it was Obamacare.
[00:34:29]  It was why is Obama doing this?
[00:34:31]  Why is Obama?
[00:34:32]  You know, like all of that reinforced for the people who consumed it that the president is the king already.
[00:34:40]  Right?
[00:34:40]  So one section of the world got news that only said, well, the president is a king.
[00:34:45]  And then the rest of us got news that was like, Congress is keeping him from doing stuff.
[00:34:50]  You know?
[00:34:51]  Yeah.
[00:34:51]  And I think what you're saying, I think, is a danger that we still exist in.
[00:34:56]  Sure.
[00:34:56]  You know, like with the Trump is kingly in a lot of ways.
[00:35:00]  Right.
[00:35:00]  In his behaviors, but he's not just a unitary, like a single thing.
[00:35:05]  Exactly.
[00:35:05]  And so I do try to be conscious of saying like the Trump administration.
[00:35:09]  Sure.
[00:35:09]  You know, that collective noun that was used as Obama.
[00:35:13]  Right, right, right, right.
[00:35:14]  I do think you're right that there is like an amount that that plays into how justified it feels to do right now.
[00:35:22]  Why wouldn't we do it?
[00:35:23]  They were doing it first.
[00:35:24]  Right.
[00:35:24]  To normalize.
[00:35:25]  Now, regardless of the fact that they fucking weren't and that it was all a gigantic lie perpetrated to get us to this exact point that we are now.
[00:35:33]  Yeah.
[00:35:34]  Sure.
[00:35:35]  And I think that that's the danger that you have with like, you know, doing it again.
[00:35:39]  Yeah.
[00:35:39]  Is like you justify worse governance next.
[00:35:44]  Yeah.
[00:35:45]  You know, or whatever.
[00:35:46]  And then the next thing you know, you're saying stuff like only a king can kill a king.
[00:35:49]  And then you're like, ah, fuck, we're too far gone.
[00:35:51]  Unless we get dragons.
[00:35:52]  Yeah, then dragon dragons would make up a lot of the difference.
[00:35:57]  So we get another call, and it's a guy who's like, did you know that Trump is actually a Jewish supremacist and a member of the Masons?
[00:36:04]  I did not know that.
[00:36:05]  And Alex has been talking to this guy for a really long time, and so he can't be mean to him.
[00:36:11]  And so that's not good.
[00:36:13]  Alex, the problem we've all had, and the reason we're pulling our hair out trying to figure out is Trump with us or against us is that he flew under a false flag to get into office.
[00:36:25]  He said he was MAGA, but he's hopelessly conflicted.
[00:36:29]  He is a member of Chabad, a Jewish supremacist organization, as Henry Makow points out in his book, Illuminati 4.
[00:36:40]  And he's also a Freemason, which also is Kabbalah light.
[00:36:46]  So his allegiance is first and foremost to Israel, which is why he went ahead and bombed Iran, despite the fact that he had no congressional cover to do that.
[00:36:58]  I mean, it was a war crime, actually, to bomb a country that had done absolutely nothing to us.
[00:37:07]  By the way, Mike, aren't you a doctor?
[00:37:10]  You've been on calling for like 25 years, right?
[00:37:13]  That's right.
[00:37:14]  Yeah.
[00:37:14]  So you're a smart guy.
[00:37:16]  You've been calling 25 years to hear from you.
[00:37:20]  Trump is a Mason.
[00:37:21]  Where's the proof of that?
[00:37:25]  Again, it's from Henry Maikau, who was himself in these organizations.
[00:37:29]  He knows what you're speaking of.
[00:37:31]  That Trump is on board.
[00:37:35]  You also have to understand, as he points out, Maikow does in his book, a former member of Chabad, a former Freemason, that Netanyahu was trained from his birth in Philadelphia by the Rothschilds using satanic ritual abuse.
[00:37:54]  He's on a suicide mission for Israel.
[00:37:57]  And I don't know if the Israeli people understand that, what he's doing here, just indiscriminately slaughtering Palestinians.
[00:38:06]  And I don't know if Trump understands that either.
[00:38:12]  Well, nothing against Henry Macau, but people write books saying I'm Bill Hicks.
[00:38:18]  So Henry Macau is an anti-Semitic fuck and an idiot.
[00:38:22]  But Alex has gotten himself into a strange predicament here.
[00:38:26]  Yeah.
[00:38:27]  Because this caller is somebody who's called for 25 years.
[00:38:30]  That's insane.
[00:38:31]  He's a doctor.
[00:38:32]  Alex is also insane.
[00:38:34]  Giving him credibility.
[00:38:35]  That's insane.
[00:38:36]  But he's saying something that Alex cannot accept.
[00:38:39]  Because it's insane.
[00:38:40]  Trump flew a false flag into office.
[00:38:43]  Insane.
[00:38:44]  Because if we accept that as a possibility, you know who else was flying that flag?
[00:38:48]  You bet.
[00:38:49]  Alex.
[00:38:49]  You bet.
[00:38:50]  Roger Stone worked for him.
[00:38:51]  You got it.
[00:38:52]  There's no chance that Trump could fly a false flag and Alex not be aware of it.
[00:38:57]  I wouldn't be guilty by association.
[00:38:59]  I would be an accessory.
[00:39:00]  I am part of the crime.
[00:39:02]  Yes.
[00:39:02]  And so Alex is like, that's not good.
[00:39:05]  This is not a call to take.
[00:39:07]  No, I think this is emblematic of how bad I am at like, I guess, maintaining a con or a lie or something.
[00:39:18]  You know, like, if it was me, I would be like, man, buddy, I got my money from you.
[00:39:23]  Now we got to stop it.
[00:39:25]  It's all bullshit.
[00:39:26]  This is all bullshit, man.
[00:39:27]  I've been, this is bullshit.
[00:39:28]  I'm out of here, right?
[00:39:30]  And they would be, because this call is so sad.
[00:39:33]  You've been listening for how long?
[00:39:34]  25 years.
[00:39:36]  And you've said that to me.
[00:39:38]  I think it's.
[00:39:39]  You've been listening to me talk for 25 years, and then you said that to me?
[00:39:44]  Yeah, I think.
[00:39:45]  Well, I think that there's something about the incremental change that has to play a role in it.
[00:39:51]  Because if you've listened to this show for 25 years, then you've just heard Alex saying that the president can do regime change and that it's fine to blow up these boats.
[00:40:00]  And if you've listened for 25 years, that's out of sync with the positions you're supposed to hold sacred.
[00:40:08]  So you have to be changed by the content that you're listening to over time to stay into it.
[00:40:16]  You can't listen for 25 years and have a consistent position.
[00:40:19]  Yeah, here's what I find here.
[00:40:20]  Okay, maybe this is an actual fascinating insight into where we are in the present, right?
[00:40:27]  This guy has been listening through all these years.
[00:40:30]  He's not like us.
[00:40:31]  He hasn't been like, ah, I hate you.
[00:40:33]  He's been in it, right?
[00:40:35]  And now here we are.
[00:40:36]  And his response to all of this change and all this stuff is the brain scramblies.
[00:40:42]  Trump was never even MAGA the whole time.
[00:40:44]  Like he's gone.
[00:40:46]  It's too far gone.
[00:40:47]  There's nothing.
[00:40:48]  It's the desperate need to add a new layer onto the conspiracy that explains away why you feel totally confused for it.
[00:40:55]  Full on gone.
[00:40:55]  Full on gone because I've invented Trump as a secret Masad Mason who is fake MAGA.
[00:41:01]  Yeah.
[00:41:01]  But Alex can't really do much with this guy because you can't be that mean to him because they've been buddies for decades.
[00:41:08]  And so he just gets a little bit frustrated and reveals how dumb he is.
[00:41:12]  So where is Trump converted to Judaism?
[00:41:15]  Where is Trump a Mason?
[00:41:17]  I just want to write some books saying it.
[00:41:21]  He went to the funeral celebration, the death anniversary of the Lubabature Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, put on his kippah, Trump did, and placed his hand on whatever monument is there to Schneerson.
[00:41:41]  This marks him as a member of Chaba.
[00:41:45]  Boom.
[00:41:45]  I mean, why would a Christian president put on a kippah and celebrate the death of a crazy, an obvious rabid Jewish supremacist who wants to kill most of the Gentiles on the face of the earth so that the Jewish race can come into its own?
[00:42:09]  So let's just say what you're saying is true.
[00:42:11]  So we should like, we should vote Democrat.
[00:42:15]  No, no, you know, don't put words in my mouth, Alex.
[00:42:17]  I'm not.
[00:42:17]  I'm not.
[00:42:18]  I'm asking, what do we do about it?
[00:42:19]  Let's just say it's true.
[00:42:20]  He's a Mason.
[00:42:23]  This caller has nothing and can't defend his points past dumb shit that Henry Macau is whined about in his anti-Semitic books.
[00:42:30]  But this exchange is fascinating because it reveals how little Alex has.
[00:42:34]  He thinks that pushing back and saying anyone can write something in a book is going to be good enough to shake this guy.
[00:42:40]  But then the caller comes back with this story and Alex can't really engage with it.
[00:42:44]  He's condemned so many people for so much less than what this caller is describing.
[00:42:49]  And he's based his recent career on yelling about spirit cooking and satanic rituals.
[00:42:54]  This caller has Alex on the back foot with this because if he tries to minimize the seriousness or relevance of this Jewish funeral anniversary or whatever, it threatens to break the Kfabe that Alex's show exists in.
[00:43:06]  And so all Alex can say is, what, you want to vote Democrat?
[00:43:10]  That's all he has left in the tank.
[00:43:13]  He's more pathetic and lost than any vote blue, no matter who MSNBC anchor that he would make a whole day out of making fun of.
[00:43:20]  He can't argue with this caller who's accusing Trump of being a Jewish supremacist Mason, so his only refuge is lesser of two evils rhetoric.
[00:43:29]  Alex has trapped himself in a box where the opposition to Trump is the greater of two evils by definition because they oppose Trump.
[00:43:37]  Yep.
[00:43:38]  This has been the cornerstone of his content for years.
[00:43:41]  The idea that you know a person by their enemies and the devil hates Trump.
[00:43:45]  I think it's a big part of what makes him unable to break with Trump.
[00:43:49]  It's one thing to turn on him and be critical, but then what does that mean about all the demons who have been saying the same shit for years?
[00:43:57]  If virtue is determined by whether or not someone supports Trump to the point where you call people the pejorative never Trumper, that's a term that's an insult.
[00:44:07]  Do you have to reassess everything when you start not supporting him?
[00:44:11]  Yes.
[00:44:12]  Yeah, you have to get from scratch.
[00:44:13]  How could those demons have been right about this thing that I'm wrong?
[00:44:17]  Yep.
[00:44:18]  If I defined you being bad by you being against Trump, do I now have to think maybe you weren't bad?
[00:44:25]  Right.
[00:44:26]  Uh-oh.
[00:44:27]  It unravels everything.
[00:44:28]  It should.
[00:44:29]  It should.
[00:44:30]  But that's the great thing about America is that there's a real short memory for shit like that.
[00:44:34]  True.
[00:44:35]  So a lot of people can just give it a year or two and then be like, yeah, actually, I was nice to you the whole time.
[00:44:41]  Remember how in 2016 in the run-up to the election, when I was like super nice to you about Trump all the time?
[00:44:48]  Remember how nice I was and I was like, hey, man, I don't know if I trust this guy, but at least he's not Hillary.
[00:44:53]  You know how I never went further than that?
[00:44:55]  You know how I was never like, oh, let's spend the next eight years of our lives trying to destroy the entire nation?
[00:44:59]  I'm such a cool guy now, right?
[00:45:01]  You know how I never cried about Trump on air said I would give my life for him.
[00:45:06]  I never did that kind of stuff.
[00:45:07]  Jesus Christ.
[00:45:08]  I never said I was a media surrogate for him.
[00:45:11]  I never hung out with Roger Stone.
[00:45:13]  Here's what I love.
[00:45:14]  Here's what I love about people, and it's something that they'll never be able to truly understand, right?
[00:45:20]  It sounds totally reasonable to be like, what are you going to vote Democrat?
[00:45:24]  It doesn't sound utterly insane to them that a line is just like, what, are you going to pick a different guy for four years?
[00:45:31]  Like, that's it.
[00:45:32]  Like, it's like you've lived how many years?
[00:45:36]  I honestly think that some people don't sound insane saying that.
[00:45:42]  I think that it, well, it depends on your level of engagement with stuff.
[00:45:46]  It's also, I think it comes into intersection with like how much do you want to care about politics?
[00:45:55]  Sure.
[00:45:55]  Maybe for some people, that is enough engagement.
[00:45:59]  But for Alex, for someone who's like a political futurist and analysis, who cogitates with his brain, I agree it's pathetic there.
[00:46:11]  But that's the thing.
[00:46:12]  Like at the very least, if you had the slightest bit of imagination or integrity to it, you could be like, you know what?
[00:46:19]  Here's what we do.
[00:46:20]  We vote Democrat in certain places to send a message because we have to send a message.
[00:46:25]  Because guess what?
[00:46:26]  Me yelling at Trump through the internet isn't doing it.
[00:46:30]  No.
[00:46:30]  Right?
[00:46:31]  Like, at least have another idea other than like, well, there's nothing else we can do.
[00:46:34]  But I think that risks breaking the KFAB in the same way as being like some ceremonial shit isn't ritual or isn't like magic, evil devilry or whatever.
[00:46:45]  It is a pure, like at a fundamental level, the way we think is either going to change or we are going to go down with this ship.
[00:46:54]  And I think that there is a commitment to staying the course on Alex's side for sure.
[00:47:00]  It feels like it.
[00:47:01]  So Nick Fuentes comes around, and I think right out the gate, Alex seems grovelling.
[00:47:11]  I think that he is.
[00:47:12]  So gross.
[00:47:13]  Yeah.
[00:47:14]  By the way, I did not come up with me as Batman and Nick Fuentez is Robin as if I'm the boss.
[00:47:24]  The crew did that.
[00:47:25]  It's absolutely ridiculous.
[00:47:28]  More like I'm George Washington and he's Andrew Jackson.
[00:47:34]  It's a generational thing.
[00:47:36]  And Nick is having a generational run.
[00:47:38]  It's true.
[00:47:39]  I met Nick over nine 10 years ago.
[00:47:41]  I thought he was very intelligent, very smart.
[00:47:43]  Wasn't as, quote, radical as he is now.
[00:47:46]  Yes, yes, he was.
[00:47:47]  He was much more secret about it.
[00:47:49]  And Alex knew that because Millie Weaver hung out with them and told him about it and told him not to hang out with her.
[00:47:56]  But he did anyway.
[00:47:58]  I think that there's something really pathetic about the way he that Batman and Robin image when Nick's not there.
[00:48:05]  Yeah.
[00:48:06]  Pretty fucking cool.
[00:48:07]  Yeah.
[00:48:07]  When Nick is there, hey, I'm not trying to say that listen.
[00:48:10]  I'm not trying to say that you're subordinate to me.
[00:48:13]  Come on.
[00:48:14]  Cool, man.
[00:48:15]  Yeah.
[00:48:16]  I guess Alex watched the Tucker interview and realized that Nick's as big as Alex.
[00:48:21]  Sometimes when you are watching one of those old medieval age set movies, those old sword and fighting movies, you know, and there's all the kings and stuff, and you're like, man, this dialogue is really terrible.

=== Alex's Defensive Hell (00:57) ===

[00:48:34]  But I would bet you five bucks that guy's got his head on a spike by the end of this movie.
[00:48:39]  And you're like, let's just skip ahead.
[00:48:41]  Skip, dip, dip, dip.
[00:48:42]  That's what this feels like.
[00:48:43]  It feels like, Nick, just put a head on a spike already.
[00:48:46]  Come on, man.
[00:48:46]  Yeah.
[00:48:47]  Let's just move on.
[00:48:48]  Yeah, it's taking too long.
[00:48:50]  It is.
[00:48:51]  Yeah.
[00:48:52]  And hey, maybe that has something to do with the bankruptcy and Alex's shit being kind of unattainable.
[00:48:58]  He can't close down even if he wants to.
[00:49:02]  So Nick can't put him out of his misery.
[00:49:05]  We're all trapped in hell now.
[00:49:07]  So there's something that Alex is very defensive about, and that is that everybody is so negative about Trump.

=== Why We Complain About Trump (12:15) ===

[00:49:13]  Maybe we should be negative about the Democrats sometime.
[00:49:15]  Sure.
[00:49:16]  And I think that when he brings this up as a question to Nick, Nick has a great answer.
[00:49:22]  Big picture, answer this for me.
[00:49:25]  Because they can take clips out of context.
[00:49:29]  Trump's doing something good, I see you promote it.
[00:49:30]  When he does something bad, you put pressure on him.
[00:49:32]  But paradoxically, my listeners just want to complain about Trump all day, which is fine.
[00:49:36]  We take their calls, we do it.
[00:49:38]  But how much time should be spent on the Democrats, BlackRock, the globalist, Islam?
[00:49:43]  Because I also get to saying, whenever I cover something with Islam or China or anything, it's like, why aren't you exposing Israel?
[00:49:51]  It's great to expose Israel.
[00:49:53]  It's great that that taboo is over.
[00:49:56]  The spell is broken.
[00:49:57]  But then now as we enter this new era, we're not just exposing foreign controlling influence.
[00:50:03]  How do we then promote a new system?
[00:50:06]  And then what does that stand for?
[00:50:07]  What is America first?
[00:50:09]  That's a big question, but I'm sure you can answer it.
[00:50:12]  It is a good question.
[00:50:13]  And I get asked this question a lot because I spend all my time attacking Republicans and the right wing and Trump in particular.
[00:50:20]  And people say, well, why don't you focus more on the left?
[00:50:23]  Or why don't you focus exclusively on the left?
[00:50:26]  And to that, I would say we're in power right now.
[00:50:30]  We, the Republicans, the Trump movement, are in power.
[00:50:32]  Trump is in the White House.
[00:50:33]  Republicans still, as of right now, control the House and the Senate.
[00:50:37]  Allegedly, in the first term, they engineered it so that we could control the federal judiciary, the Supreme Court.
[00:50:44]  So without a doubt, we have all the cards.
[00:50:46]  We have all the power.
[00:50:48]  And I think that when that is the case, especially, maybe it's a different story when Biden was in charge.
[00:50:54]  I was certainly far more critical of the Democrats when he was the president.
[00:50:58]  But when Republicans are in charge, I really believe we have a special obligation to put the heat on Trump and to light a fire under them to get the things that they promised to do finished because we don't have that much time.
[00:51:10]  See, I think this marks a big division between Nick and Alex.
[00:51:15]  Alex, his shit is so based on victimhood and aggrievement that he can't really acknowledge that they have all the power.
[00:51:23]  Yeah.
[00:51:24]  Everything is coming up Republican right now.
[00:51:27]  And I think Nick can.
[00:51:29]  I think he can acknowledge that and say it's masturbatory to fuck around and like complain about AOC all day or whatever.
[00:51:37]  Like that's not impacting and moving the ball forward.
[00:51:42]  We have this small window of time where we have all the power.
[00:51:45]  Literally all the power.
[00:51:46]  And all we can do is make demands that that power be wielded.
[00:51:50]  Yeah.
[00:51:51]  Otherwise, we're just biding our time until Democrats get more power.
[00:51:55]  Yep.
[00:51:55]  And it become, then the people like Trump have more excuses not to do the things we want them to do.
[00:52:01]  So like, I think his answer makes total sense.
[00:52:04]  Yeah.
[00:52:04]  Yeah.
[00:52:05]  There's just there's there's one criticism for Democrats right now, and that's when there's a dragon, it reveals who is willing to fight it.
[00:52:14]  And none of them are willing to fight a dragon.
[00:52:16]  So that's where we're at.
[00:52:18]  Maybe not none of the, maybe not none of them are willing, but maybe everyone, anyone who's willing has does not have enough backup and is not equipped.
[00:52:26]  The greater the villain demands a greater hero, and we have no greater heroes.
[00:52:31]  That's the better way of putting it.
[00:52:32]  I do feel like it feels that way.
[00:52:34]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:52:35]  It stinks.
[00:52:36]  And that's not, that's the, if that's your only criticism, yeah.
[00:52:40]  Heroes are tough to come by, buddy.
[00:52:42]  You guys are a bunch of assholes.
[00:52:44]  But to the, to the clip, though, like, Nick has a clarity of, like, this is real.
[00:52:49]  Yeah.
[00:52:49]  Like, what he's talking about is the reason that I am much more critical of Republicans is because they have all the power right now.
[00:52:58]  Yeah.
[00:52:59]  And that is who can do the things I want them to do.
[00:53:01]  Yeah.
[00:53:02]  That's in the real world.
[00:53:04]  Alex is not.
[00:53:05]  Yeah.
[00:53:05]  The two of them talking to each other just makes Batman seem delusional and Robin seem like a real gymnast.
[00:53:13]  Okay.
[00:53:14]  How about this?
[00:53:15]  Let me let me throw this by you.
[00:53:16]  All right.
[00:53:17]  Now, Alex is from a generation of right-wing grifters that existed at a time where everybody kind of assumed that the adults were in the room, right?
[00:53:28]  So their goal was never going to be the exercise or use of power at all.
[00:53:33]  Always going to be about appearing to do something.
[00:53:36]  That way the adults in the room can have, you know, can have their way with our poor asses, right?
[00:53:43]  But Fuentes is from a generation of right-wing commentators that grew up where everybody looked around and was like, are there?
[00:53:50]  And then the answer was no.
[00:53:51]  Right.
[00:53:52]  Right.
[00:53:52]  So power is something that you can take and can use.
[00:53:56]  Yeah.
[00:53:56]  It's something that can be accrued democratically, as to say, without the businesses and stuff.
[00:54:02]  Right.
[00:54:03]  Online.
[00:54:04]  You can accrue this kind of power.
[00:54:05]  Right.
[00:54:06]  And he also was pretty young when he was at the Unite the Right rally.
[00:54:10]  And like, I know that I've been to big crowds of people.
[00:54:13]  Yeah.
[00:54:14]  And there's something anarchic about it.
[00:54:16]  Absolutely.
[00:54:16]  And if this is more the model of, you know, like I can get power and then we can fuck shit up.
[00:54:22]  Right.
[00:54:23]  You know, like we can use the power to fuck shit up as opposed to in the meantime.
[00:54:27]  Yeah.
[00:54:28]  Guess what?
[00:54:29]  Power and money are basically the same thing.
[00:54:31]  Yeah.
[00:54:31]  Yeah.
[00:54:32]  Whereas I think, yeah, I think Alex's model is far more like, I know that he wants social change, but he also wants to be the chronicler.
[00:54:43]  Right.
[00:54:43]  You know, he wants to be the storyteller that is telling you.
[00:54:46]  We all want social change and yada yada yada.
[00:54:50]  We all want that stuff.
[00:54:51]  But, you know, that takes time and we'll make money in the meantime.
[00:54:55]  Whereas Nick Fuentes is like, no, if you get power, watch this.
[00:54:58]  I can blow up a Venezuelan boat and no one will stop us.
[00:55:02]  Venezuela can't start a war with me.
[00:55:04]  Right.
[00:55:05]  And if you get that power, all of the money that you're making selling these supplements is nothing compared to what you would be able to pick your beak into.
[00:55:15]  Venezuela.
[00:55:16]  Right.
[00:55:16]  Yeah.
[00:55:17]  And I think that there's a part of it that's cynical on Nick's part.
[00:55:22]  Sure.
[00:55:23]  But it's more connected to the real world than Alex ever could be.
[00:55:26]  I think it shows.
[00:55:27]  Right.
[00:55:28]  So Alex asks Nick, like, what do you want?
[00:55:31]  And he's like, I want a lot of deportations.
[00:55:34]  So, what does Trump need to do right now?
[00:55:36]  I mean, if you were the president, what would you do?
[00:55:40]  If I'm the president, I'm going to do mass deportations.
[00:55:43]  I'm going to do everything in my power to deport as many people as possible immediately.
[00:55:48]  And no excuses about we need to spin up the personnel.
[00:55:53]  And I get it.
[00:55:54]  I talk to people that are in government and I understand some of the problems, but we need like a Herculean effort to get those deportations up immediately.
[00:56:01]  Do you like Trump saying that he's going to total ban on all turn roll immigration?
[00:56:08]  I thought it was the best statement he's had in probably five years, but it's just a statement.
[00:56:13]  We need to, if he turned that into policy, I'd be happy as a clam and I would be, you know, Magonite at the White House.
[00:56:19]  It would be 2016 all over again.
[00:56:21]  We're never coming down.
[00:56:22]  But the problem is we always just get these like statements.
[00:56:25]  Trump gets in trouble in the polls.
[00:56:27]  He gets in trouble with his favorability.
[00:56:29]  And then we always see that he brings out the red meat and he throws this out to the base.
[00:56:34]  And it's sort of disturbing that he knows exactly what to say.
[00:56:37]  Like that was a perfect statement that I would love.
[00:56:40]  And so you say to yourself, oh, so you do know how to make us happy.
[00:56:44]  He knows how to excite the racists and get the base all excited.
[00:56:49]  Yep.
[00:56:49]  Now, this is another interesting difference between Nick and Alex.
[00:56:53]  And that is that Nick is kind of indicting Alex.
[00:56:57]  Yep.
[00:56:58]  Alex is the person who takes those statements and treats them as policy.
[00:57:03]  He is the one who's distracting the base from whatever the negative poll, whatever Trump is in trouble for.
[00:57:11]  Nick is calling out the game in front of Alex's face a little bit.
[00:57:14]  Yeah.
[00:57:15]  That's pretty.
[00:57:16]  I mean, it's the same with Alex having to be like, okay, well, here's why it's 4D chess for him to not release the Epstein files.
[00:57:25]  Whereas Nick can just be like, no, he's in them.
[00:57:28]  He's a pedophile.
[00:57:30]  Fuck him.
[00:57:30]  You know, like, God, I don't understand how people don't.
[00:57:34]  I reserve the right to say fuck you to anybody for any reason.
[00:57:38]  No shirt, fuck you.
[00:57:39]  You know what I'm saying?
[00:57:40]  Like, no service.
[00:57:42]  I don't understand this concept of fealty.
[00:57:44]  I don't.
[00:57:45]  I don't think it's fealty.
[00:57:47]  I really don't.
[00:57:48]  I can't think it's fealty at this point.
[00:57:51]  Like, I don't think, I think Alex is trapped somehow.
[00:57:54]  Yeah.
[00:57:55]  There's no explanation for the level of fucked upness that he needs to go to to like keep supporting Trump.
[00:58:03]  No, it's crazy.
[00:58:04]  Like, I don't think there's a blackmail tape or anything like that, but like, there's some financial reason or something because it's ludicrous that he wouldn't recognize that like society is fucked in the brain.
[00:58:18]  Yeah.
[00:58:19]  Social media is a total waste.
[00:58:21]  Yep.
[00:58:22]  It's fucked everyone up.
[00:58:23]  We can make another dictator.
[00:58:25]  Yeah.
[00:58:25]  We can do that.
[00:58:26]  We can totally do it.
[00:58:27]  Humans have been doing it.
[00:58:28]  There was another one like yesterday.
[00:58:30]  We'll get a ton of them.
[00:58:31]  Yeah.
[00:58:31]  Yeah.
[00:58:32]  This whole war against the globalists, we can transfer that on to some other person.
[00:58:37]  Right.
[00:58:37]  We can do this.
[00:58:38]  Right.
[00:58:38]  It's not the end of the world if we just get rid of Trump.
[00:58:40]  He's become way too much of a problem.
[00:58:42]  We pack up, we learn our lesson.
[00:58:43]  We bide our time for 20 years.
[00:58:45]  Everybody's going to forget that we're crazy.
[00:58:47]  Then 20 years from now, we'll be like, haha, we figured out how not to say the N-word.
[00:58:51]  Then we'll be president again.
[00:58:52]  It's how it works.
[00:58:53]  And Alex is such a stupid, like, his show is dumb.
[00:58:56]  No, like, people who are listening to it and that take it as really serious information, I don't think that they're all that critical.
[00:59:06]  That guy just said something about Trump being a secret bazada agent or whatever.
[00:59:09]  Because of Henry Macau's blog posts or whatever.
[00:59:13]  So I don't think that it's going to be too hard to wag the dog on that.
[00:59:19]  Sure.
[00:59:20]  Bring the audience along wherever you need them to go.
[00:59:22]  And he's such a sensational dick that like he'll just do a publicity stunt of some kind to get attention.
[00:59:28]  Yeah.
[00:59:29]  Like he can, he doesn't need to do this.
[00:59:32]  And I don't think it's fealty.
[00:59:33]  It's absurd.
[00:59:34]  I think that he's just on a hook somehow and Nick isn't.
[00:59:38]  And the fact that they exist here in the same space and are doing this show makes it so clear.
[00:59:45]  Nick is like, when Trump gets in trouble, he panders to us racists.
[00:59:51]  And Alex is just, when Trump gets in trouble, I help him pander to racists.
[00:59:56]  Here's what I want, right?
[00:59:58]  Because we can't do it in real life on account of we'll all probably die.
[01:00:03]  So, you know how sometimes in those movies where they'll have the person who like was at the scene of the crime, but then there was a bomb or whatever.
[01:00:11]  So they take him to the fake hospital room and they've got the whole like fake TV show like, oh, the president has died.
[01:00:18]  And the guy's like, ah, our plan succeeded and reveals all the evil plans, right?
[01:00:22]  I want to do one of those for Alex, but just have a succession of the worst Trump things you could possibly imagine.
[01:00:30]  Like Trump goes to your house and fucks your wife in front of you and him be like, you know, that's a really good plan.
[01:00:37]  Like, where is the bottom?
[01:00:39]  Yeah.
[01:00:39]  Where is the bottom?
[01:00:40]  Well, based on, based on like the idea that, you know, international incidents and war crimes are within the purview of the president.
[01:00:48]  He has the right to regime change.
[01:00:50]  Yeah.
[01:00:50]  Like, I don't know what there would be.
[01:00:52]  I don't know what the bottom would be.
[01:00:54]  Right?
[01:00:54]  Yeah.
[01:00:54]  Like, that's my only true mystery now about this show is like, is it possible for a human being to, one, not have a bottom?
[01:01:04]  Like, is it possible to just eat an infinite amount of shit if so asked?
[01:01:09]  I think that's, that's the exploration at this point.

=== Outflanking the Left on Economic Populism (05:10) ===

[01:01:11]  Right?
[01:01:12]  Yeah.
[01:01:13]  And watching somebody who thinks they're Batman hang out with someone who he thinks is Robin, who is actually Bane.
[01:01:21]  Yeah.
[01:01:22]  And Alex isn't Batman.
[01:01:23]  No.
[01:01:24]  But Alex is a little baby.
[01:01:25]  Bane also can break that baby's back.
[01:01:28]  Bane can break all kinds of backs.
[01:01:30]  It's just there won't be a comic book about it.
[01:01:32]  No, no.
[01:01:33]  It'll be a weird note in a newspaper.
[01:01:35]  And a tripod.
[01:01:35]  Bane breaks another child's back.
[01:01:37]  Yeah.
[01:01:38]  So Bane, Nick, he has a number of points that are good.
[01:01:45]  Yeah.
[01:01:45]  That actually make sense and are tactically sound.
[01:01:49]  Right.
[01:01:50]  If the right wing does the things that he wants, there would be a benefit.
[01:01:54]  Right.
[01:01:54]  And here is one of them.
[01:01:56]  I think the task of the right is to outflank the left on economic populism.
[01:02:02]  That's just the answer.
[01:02:03]  It's literally that simple because the left has a lot of internal contradictions.
[01:02:09]  It's not so easy for them because, you know, there's going to be this like Josh Shapiro, Zorhan Mamdani problem is what I would call it.
[01:02:16]  On the right, we really just need to capitalize on the fact that the left is sort of being dragged down by the identity politics for them.
[01:02:23]  It's like the anti-white grievance politics, the radical stuff, the anti-FUD, transgender stuff.
[01:02:30]  It's really hurting them with a lot of their people, but the right just needs to get out of their own way.
[01:02:34]  They need to deliver on affordability housing.
[01:02:37]  They can't be telling the voters, if you can't afford to live in your city, you have to go and move somewhere else and work on an oil rig.
[01:02:44]  Like that's not going to work.
[01:02:45]  So there's opportunity for the right, but they have to listen to people like me, people like you, people like Tucker.
[01:02:50]  They need to kind of hear that we're at a red alert.
[01:02:54]  Big opportunities, but also major risks if we don't make the smart decisions.
[01:02:59]  So that's sort of my crystal ball for 28.
[01:03:02]  I think that, you know, the left is still not completely fortified yet, not consolidated, but they can, and you can see it, they're rallying because the right is making a lot of unforced errors.
[01:03:13]  No reason it should be like this.
[01:03:15]  What do you make of Newsom being their main frontrunner?
[01:03:18]  So to be clear, I don't think that the good point is that the left is mired in identity politics or stuff.
[01:03:24]  No, no, no, it's to outflank them on economic populism.
[01:03:26]  Absolutely.
[01:03:27]  Absolutely.
[01:03:27]  Easy.
[01:03:28]  And the translation of this really is we need our messaging to go away from the attacking identity politics.
[01:03:35]  Yep.
[01:03:35]  Because that's not really working for us.
[01:03:37]  Nope.
[01:03:38]  We have all the power in the world and we're not solving the problems that really matter to the American public.
[01:03:44]  And we're not going to just be able to scream about bathrooms or Drag Queen story time and get our way out of this.
[01:03:52]  If we expect to win the midterm, we must take that position of economic populism.
[01:03:58]  Yeah.
[01:03:59]  Yeah.
[01:03:59]  No, I mean, it makes, okay.
[01:04:01]  So it is the twin combination, right?
[01:04:04]  If you want to be a permanent majority for the Republicans, you get the racists, and then you actually provide on like, hey, guess what?
[01:04:12]  Everybody makes like 50K and the taxes are low, whatever.
[01:04:15]  We're fine, right?
[01:04:17]  And if you're the Democrats, you're like, hey, we can do like a monumental change or gradiations of change or whatever, but also we're going to point the guillotines at the right people.
[01:04:27]  Like those are the two.
[01:04:29]  If you can get somebody on either side who can do those two, you'll be all right.
[01:04:33]  You think so?
[01:04:34]  Yeah.
[01:04:36]  I don't know.
[01:04:36]  Maybe.
[01:04:37]  I mean, the person who does that will win, not we will be all right.
[01:04:42]  Oh.
[01:04:43]  I strongly disagree with that.
[01:04:44]  Okay, yeah.
[01:04:46]  The person will have a better electoral advantage if they're able to combine those two things.
[01:04:52]  That's probably true.
[01:04:53]  As opposed to we're going to be better off.
[01:04:55]  Wrong conclusion to draw from that.
[01:04:57]  Okay, that's an important clarification.
[01:04:58]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:04:59]  I realized where that was coming from.
[01:05:02]  I think that Nick has a fine point for the 28 midterms, though, or 2028 election and the midterms.
[01:05:10]  Sure.
[01:05:10]  You know, like that they need their messaging to be like real world.
[01:05:15]  It needs to not be like, oh, look at these crazy Democrats or whatever.
[01:05:21]  And I think that that's a message to Democrats running, quite frankly, is that appeal to people who might be inclined towards Trump on the economic populism level and make sure that he's not able to trick people into supporting him with it.
[01:05:38]  Yeah.
[01:05:38]  Because he's not going to be able to provide that.
[01:05:41]  No, and I, I mean, I'm still blown away that like it was only a short time ago that everybody was going apeshit because gas prices were so high.
[01:05:50]  And there was a Biden bill that was going to lower gas.
[01:05:53]  And now gas prices are lower again.
[01:05:56]  And nobody's taking credit or calling it a problem or anything.
[01:05:59]  Alex is taking credit.
[01:06:00]  Right.
[01:06:00]  But that's what I'm saying.
[01:06:01]  Like there is something there.
[01:06:03]  There is something to be done about like the actual stuff that people give a shit about.

=== Vance's Strategic Moves (15:43) ===

[01:06:08]  And occasionally people do.
[01:06:10]  Yeah.
[01:06:11]  I don't know.
[01:06:12]  So they talk, Alex is, you know, on the end of that last clip, he was like, hey, what about Gavin Newsom running for the Dems?
[01:06:21]  And then they get off on the subject of who's next for the Republicans.
[01:06:26]  Right.
[01:06:27]  And it's JD Vance.
[01:06:28]  And Nick has some thoughts.
[01:06:30]  So who do you think the frontrunners on the Republican side of this big question?
[01:06:34]  Oh, it's Vance, without a question.
[01:06:37]  It's Vance, and he's the one that's polling the highest.
[01:06:40]  And he's the one that's favored in the betting markets.
[01:06:42]  And it makes sense.
[01:06:43]  He's the vice president, so he's sort of the heir apparent.
[01:06:46]  You know, he's right now the favorite.
[01:06:49]  But I think it's the same thing with him.
[01:06:52]  You know, he's, I'll give it to him.
[01:06:54]  He's a good politician.
[01:06:55]  And I think he's making a lot of strategic moves.
[01:06:58]  He leaped in front of the Charlie Kirk funeral.
[01:07:00]  And I don't want that to sound like a cynical, but I do think that was a political move, even if it was sincere in some ways.
[01:07:06]  I think it was smart.
[01:07:08]  He's also leapt in front of, for example, the issue of Antifa, of the National Guard being deployed, immigration.
[01:07:15]  And when he was in Israel, he went to the church instead of the wall.
[01:07:18]  Very calculated.
[01:07:19]  And I think he's sort of been grooming the so-called dissident right.
[01:07:24]  He's telling them what they want to hear.
[01:07:26]  I think he's paving the way with the right-wing culture.
[01:07:28]  It's not about credit.
[01:07:29]  It's true.
[01:07:30]  People that don't know you had your big split with Shapiro and all them in the last nine years.
[01:07:36]  And then Groupers basically took over TPUSA, was Eminem.
[01:07:40]  And now you look at Vance getting questions.
[01:07:42]  It sounds like you wrote his responses.
[01:07:44]  So I think actually the criticism, whereas he attacks you publicly, I think he's actually listening to you in policy.
[01:07:51]  Well, I don't know that he's listening to us, but I think it's strategic because, you know, you look at his actual policy, and I'll never forget this, and other people shouldn't either.
[01:08:03]  And this is a concern.
[01:08:05]  I'm always listening and I'm always open-minded.
[01:08:07]  But last year, Vance made a very intentional choice during the election to go to an anti-war think tank called the Quincy Institute.
[01:08:16]  And they're not isolationists, but they're prioritizers.
[01:08:20]  And there's a book by Barry Pose, and it kind of gives their ideology.
[01:08:23]  And they talk about prioritizing China or the Western Hemisphere.
[01:08:27]  He goes to a think tank, which is very much against the Middle Eastern wars.
[01:08:31]  And he gives a speech about putting a pro-Israel spin on America first and justifying the relationship with Israel on the basis of missile defense or arming them to fight Iran or integrating them into an Abraham alliance that can kind of share the responsibilities in the Middle East.
[01:08:47]  And that was like a very intentional signal.
[01:08:49]  He was signaling allegiance and loyalty to the Israel lobby.
[01:08:52]  Well, it's double-ended.
[01:08:54]  He says, we're going to officially get out of the Middle East, but we'll back Israel as the proxy.
[01:08:59]  Right.
[01:09:00]  And, you know, and I don't know if I agree with that necessarily because I don't think that that's even possible.
[01:09:06]  And I think that this year has sort of shown the limitations of that idea because Trump is trying to extricate us from the region and Netanyahu wants us to fight Iran.
[01:09:16]  And so I don't know how simple that is to say, well, we're just going to hand it off to Israel.
[01:09:20]  I think Israel's always going to kind of need our help and they're always going to demand more.
[01:09:24]  So it's just, it's a question.
[01:09:25]  And I think that Vance is acutely aware of the fact that public sentiment is turning against Israel.
[01:09:30]  And that's why he didn't condemn Tucker.
[01:09:32]  That's why when he was asked about it, he actually went and quote tweeted some Jewish journalist who was attacking Buckley, Tucker's son, who works for Vance in the press office.
[01:09:42]  That was a very telling response.
[01:09:44]  And so now Vance is pivoting and now he's signaling to the Groyper aligned Gen Z or the Grouper Aligned millennials and Xers who are very critical of Israel.
[01:09:54]  And I think that's a very strategic choice.
[01:09:55]  I guess the question is in 2018.
[01:09:57]  There's a think, it's not about shooting your horn because, you know, it's a wave you wrote in on, but you were so much of the wave as well.
[01:10:04]  You didn't just surf in.
[01:10:05]  You were a big part of the wave.
[01:10:07]  I can tell you, I've met with people at the highest levels of government, highest levels of tech, and they want to talk about you.
[01:10:13]  The door closes, and I have these private meetings.
[01:10:15]  I'm not selling out to folks, have these meetings.
[01:10:19]  They want to talk about you.
[01:10:20]  So we come back.
[01:10:22]  I'm going to talk about where this goes.
[01:10:24]  You're all right, man.
[01:10:25]  That was weird.
[01:10:25]  Yeah, that was weird.
[01:10:27]  I'm not selling out.
[01:10:30]  So I think that Nick is somebody who, like, if Alex had any kind of like JD Vance was possibly like interested in him or, you know, could be argued that Alex had shaped his thinking.
[01:10:44]  Yeah.
[01:10:44]  It would be talking about that non-fucking stop.
[01:10:47]  Whereas Nick is like, I think it's strategic on his part to try and tap into my audience by pretending to be Nazis.
[01:10:55]  And I don't know if he's sincere.
[01:10:57]  If he does Nazi stuff, then I'll know.
[01:11:01]  I mean, it's hard not to think that that is a just rational and reasonable outlook to take on future possible politics.
[01:11:10]  And it makes Alex look crazy.
[01:11:12]  Yeah.
[01:11:13]  Because this person, Nick, is saying, like, yeah, Vance is saying some good shit.
[01:11:19]  Yeah.
[01:11:19]  But I don't think, I don't trust that this is sincere.
[01:11:23]  Trump is saying this stuff that the racists want to hear, but put it on paper, man.
[01:11:27]  Do the thing.
[01:11:28]  Right.
[01:11:29]  And then I'll be happy because you've lied to me over and over again.
[01:11:32]  Right.
[01:11:33]  This is exactly what Alex said at the beginning of the episode.
[01:11:35]  Right.
[01:11:35]  That Trump's base is sick of him lying to them.
[01:11:39]  Now, I will say that Alex does have one thing going in his favor from that otherwise very rational response that Nick gave, which is that Nick is not allowed to say certain words because he cannot say them descriptively.
[01:11:53]  They can only be said pejoratively.
[01:11:55]  Like in Nick's mouth, it should be the J-word.
[01:11:59]  He should not be allowed to say.
[01:12:00]  You can't be like, oh, he's a Jewish politician.
[01:12:02]  That doesn't exist for Nick.
[01:12:04]  He's a, you know, like, I don't even want to repeat it.
[01:12:07]  Yeah.
[01:12:07]  So, yeah, I can see why you would want to pull back the language a little bit to get your point across.
[01:12:14]  What a wild, wild racist asshole.
[01:12:16]  Yeah, and I think it's a very interesting position because I think that Nick is clearly, he's been bolstered by Tucker interview, by all of the fucking attention.
[01:12:32]  And now, like, he was on Piers Morgan.
[01:12:35]  Jesus.
[01:12:36]  And, like, all these people are falling into the trap of engaging with him.
[01:12:41]  And he's, like you said, he's perfectly situated to exploit all of this shit.
[01:12:47]  And I think that Alex has to recognize that.
[01:12:50]  He knows that he's on the fall.
[01:12:53]  Nick is on the rise.
[01:12:55]  And them being next to each other, like, if I'm Alex, I don't know how you live in that moment.
[01:13:05]  This person is shitting on your business model.
[01:13:08]  No, I mean, fucking, I, at the very least, slap him because he's a child saying these things to you.
[01:13:16]  Right?
[01:13:16]  Like, even if you agree with him, just be like, you also, you're a child, slap.
[01:13:20]  Like, that's crazy to allow him to speak to you that way.
[01:13:24]  This is part of why Alex needs to be drunker.
[01:13:27]  Yeah, I agree.
[01:13:28]  I agree wholeheartedly.
[01:13:30]  You would hate this guy's youth if he was drunk.
[01:13:32]  I hate to say this.
[01:13:33]  I hate to say this.
[01:13:34]  But in many ways, because his decision-making is on the whole zero in terms of a score, you know, like his decisions are always bad.
[01:13:44]  At least when he's drunk, some of those decisions are more fun.
[01:13:48]  They're more interesting.
[01:13:49]  There's a chaos to them.
[01:13:50]  Yeah, absolutely.
[01:13:51]  So in this next clip, they start talking about how the media takes them out of context all the time.
[01:13:58]  Sure.
[01:13:59]  And Alex decides to say something possibly defamatory about Jared Holt.
[01:14:03]  All right.
[01:14:06]  We have the Southern Property Law Center.
[01:14:08]  Hire one of our employees who've been over 10 years.
[01:14:10]  Infiltrate, jack into all the cameras for a year, found nothing corrupt watching us.
[01:14:15]  We don't have like in the rooms, but in the hallways and outside.
[01:14:19]  And they just publish it all.
[01:14:20]  Totally illegal, totally criminal.
[01:14:22]  We're filing suit on them.
[01:14:23]  Like, probably within a week, all of them.
[01:14:25]  But civil rights violations, conspiracy against rights, all run with the DOJ.
[01:14:30]  But I saw you a clip from you a few days ago on when you did it, but I watched a live show.
[01:14:34]  Son of using his clips.
[01:14:35]  You were explaining, like, they go through and they hire these people and they, like, Jared Holt, and they just, and then they contact everybody in your family, everybody you know.
[01:14:45]  They find somebody to then pay them off to go lie about you.
[01:14:49]  I mean, this is people, and we're not playing victim here.
[01:14:51]  You just need to know how nasty these people are.
[01:14:53]  And people say, oh, why don't more people stand up?
[01:14:55]  Because when you come prominent, folks, they literally come after you and stalk the living hell out of you.
[01:15:00]  So Alex used Jared's name there and is accusing him of crimes.
[01:15:04]  Sure.
[01:15:04]  So I think that if Jared would like to, that's probably actionable.
[01:15:08]  Go for it.
[01:15:08]  But maybe it's a moot point because Alex says he's already suing him.
[01:15:12]  I mean, you'll get your day in court.
[01:15:15]  Somebody will be able to afford somebody's day in court.
[01:15:18]  It's foolish of Alex, I think, to use names.
[01:15:22]  I think that as long as he just talks about the SPLC and the ADL and stuff, you have a sort of umbrella of like, I'm not talking about an individual person.
[01:15:33]  Sure.
[01:15:33]  And that not good.
[01:15:36]  Not great.
[01:15:37]  I do like the other way of describing what they just said, which is that these people are thorough and I'm lying.
[01:15:44]  These people reach out for comment.
[01:15:47]  So whenever I just say something, they're going to go follow up on it.
[01:15:50]  What a bunch of stalking creeps.
[01:15:52]  That's kind of like journalism is harassment in a way.
[01:15:55]  I mean, I'm not disagreeing with that as a concept from a distance.
[01:15:59]  Yeah.
[01:16:00]  So these guys, they keep being taken out of context with these clips that the SPLC and Media Matters will put out.
[01:16:08]  And it's just, it's a constant attack.
[01:16:11]  I've been sent this article like three times the last day.
[01:16:16]  Not this with the one before.
[01:16:17]  Oh, Nick Fuentez is two-faced.
[01:16:20]  Nick Fuentez says one thing on one show, one thing on another.
[01:16:22]  No, I say stuff.
[01:16:24]  They take it out of context.
[01:16:25]  And they say, oh, look, but he said this over here.
[01:16:27]  I know what you do.
[01:16:28]  Sometimes you make jokes and stuff, take it out of context.
[01:16:30]  But now they're going to this thing of like, he's deceiving people because you have, you know, these multiple faces.
[01:16:39]  And they've tried that with me as well.
[01:16:40]  You want to explain that?
[01:16:42]  Yeah, I saw that in the free press.
[01:16:44]  I couldn't even read it because it's behind a paywall.
[01:16:46]  But I've been getting this for 10 years.
[01:16:48]  It used to be on my Wikipedia page, and they would say he uses jokes and irony to conceal his real viewpoints.
[01:16:56]  He really is a Nazi, but you'd never know it because he acts like a really nice guy and has reasonable viewpoints when you talk to him on a show.
[01:17:04]  And it's almost like you have to then go back and explain the concept of like jokes or context.
[01:17:12]  And, you know, Ben Shapiro did this a couple weeks ago.
[01:17:14]  He played some of my clips on his stream, and every single one was about four seconds.
[01:17:21]  I think the average duration of the clips he played was between four and six seconds.
[01:17:26]  I do a three-hour stream five nights a week for 10 years.
[01:17:31]  And what happens in a show?
[01:17:33]  Newsflash, if you're ever watching a show, my show, anybody's, and you're seeing three, four, five, six seconds, you're being deceived.
[01:17:41]  That's why the average clip he plays like three minutes.
[01:17:43]  Folks, that is the ultimate way to deceive.
[01:17:46]  And they've done that over and over again.
[01:17:48]  Expand on that.
[01:17:50]  We're so right, and it should go without saying.
[01:17:53]  I play clips.
[01:17:54]  I mean, come on, man.
[01:17:57]  It's almost like by, I mean, it is in a way ultimately the highest compliment that we are paid, which is that no one will ever acknowledge that we exist.
[01:18:07]  They're having a conversation about people taking them out of context by playing short clips.
[01:18:12]  It's such prime territory to be like, and there's this one fucking podcast.
[01:18:17]  These motherfuckers.
[01:18:18]  They even, here's the problem.
[01:18:20]  I have my excuse, and then they take that away from me.
[01:18:23]  Ah, shit.
[01:18:25]  It is a little bit of a dubious compliment.
[01:18:28]  I mean, I will say.
[01:18:29]  It feels bad.
[01:18:30]  I will say, right, that maybe sometimes you don't need more than six seconds if that six seconds consists of, I hate all the Jews.
[01:18:39]  I think they're evil, and I think we should shoot them into the sun.
[01:18:42]  I don't need more than that.
[01:18:43]  You nailed it.
[01:18:44]  Unless the person has intentionally cut off at the beginning, you saying, here's something I would abhor some of that.
[01:18:49]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:18:50]  You know, like then, yeah, sure.
[01:18:51]  There's a context.
[01:18:54]  See?
[01:18:54]  Yeah, I get it.
[01:18:55]  Yeah.
[01:18:55]  Yeah.
[01:18:56]  And the whole idea of his humor and stuff is like, yes, that is a tactic that he has effectively used throughout his career.
[01:19:03]  The joke is it's not a joke.
[01:19:05]  Yeah.
[01:19:05]  That's what's funny about it.
[01:19:06]  Well, there's that end of it that is the humor.
[01:19:09]  And then there's the other humor where he will make a joke about six million cookies being cooked during a certain amount of time in order to make a joke about Holocaust denial, which is his actual position.
[01:19:22]  Right.
[01:19:22]  His position is being masked by that joke.
[01:19:25]  He understands what that criticism is.
[01:19:27]  Yeah.
[01:19:28]  It's just to his best interest to be like, they don't understand jokes.
[01:19:33]  People understand jokes.
[01:19:34]  No, no, no.
[01:19:34]  Everybody understands jokes.
[01:19:36]  And it's smart for you to say that people don't understand jokes, but you're a Nazi.
[01:19:40]  So let's just cut the shit.
[01:19:41]  Yeah.
[01:19:41]  Calm down, dude.
[01:19:42]  Calm them down.
[01:19:43]  So they go on about this people taking clips of them.
[01:19:48]  Oh, assholes.
[01:19:49]  Yeah.
[01:19:49]  It's really annoying as someone who takes clips of them.
[01:19:52]  Yeah.
[01:19:52]  I would never take a five-second club just to, you know, just to have a big hit and lie about somebody because I don't want to be discredited.
[01:20:00]  I want to actually be honest, but it's really a big problem.
[01:20:04]  It's a huge problem.
[01:20:05]  And the good news is I think people are starting to wake up because I see these kind of out-of-context clips and I see all the comments are saying, oh, nice.
[01:20:13]  You edited down to eight seconds.
[01:20:15]  What's that all about?
[01:20:17]  So I think people are starting to become aware.
[01:20:19]  That being said, I don't think that that will ever go out of fashion because the vast majority of people have such a limited attention span and are quick to judge and everything like that.
[01:20:30]  It's just a tragedy of the comments.
[01:20:32]  This is just how people are.
[01:20:33]  Tragedy of the masses of the goy.
[01:20:36]  You know, that's just how they operate.
[01:20:37]  So what is the context of that?
[01:20:42]  That doesn't seem good.
[01:20:44]  Seems interesting.
[01:20:45]  Man.
[01:20:46]  Contextually.
[01:20:47]  I, you know, eventually, he probably does.
[01:20:51]  Maybe he already knows about us.
[01:20:52]  Maybe he doesn't.
[01:20:53]  Eventually, he will probably know about us.
[01:20:56]  Sure.
[01:20:57]  Right.
[01:20:57]  And I'm disappointed because that really makes me want to fucking punch.
[01:21:04]  Yeah, man.
[01:21:05]  Yeah.
[01:21:06]  I mean, it's such a it's it's such a very intentional.
[01:21:14]  It's come in close, sir.
[01:21:16]  It's bait.
[01:21:16]  And one of the things that's so fascinating about it is that it exists within this context of a conversation of people playing short clips to take them out of context.
[01:21:27]  And in context, he is saying that the Jews use out-of-context clips and short things in order to attack the goy.

=== Exploiting Low Attention Spans (07:15) ===

[01:21:36]  Yep.
[01:21:36]  Because the goi have low attention spans that are being exploited.
[01:21:40]  Yeah.
[01:21:41]  It's crazy.
[01:21:42]  It makes me, it really takes me back to some, like, like, this is shit that should have been handled when you were young.
[01:21:49]  This should have been, like, this feels like something that a coach would take you under the bleachers behind and be like, listen, I'm going to explain this to you politely and kindly one time.
[01:21:56]  Yeah.
[01:21:57]  Then we're going to have a serious issue.
[01:21:58]  Then you're going to be running laughs.
[01:22:00]  Yeah.
[01:22:00]  Then we're going to be in trouble.
[01:22:01]  You know, like, that seems like the time to deal with that because now it's metastasized and he's rewarded for it.
[01:22:07]  Yeah.
[01:22:07]  You know?
[01:22:08]  A career.
[01:22:08]  Yeah.
[01:22:08]  It's got to, yeah, that shit's got to, that can't fly.
[01:22:11]  Yeah.
[01:22:12]  And Alex knows what he's doing and he's he's totally fine with and endorses.
[01:22:18]  So, yeah, as I'm listening to this, this discussion about people taking clips of them as a person whose job it is to independently take clips of them and yell about them and go to Portland to do sold-out shows playing those clips.
[01:22:37]  Right.
[01:22:38]  Sold out.
[01:22:41]  It's just fucking insane to me that I'm like, they should be talking about me.
[01:22:45]  Yep.
[01:22:46]  And they're not because really, at the end of the day, this is just about them trying to attack Jewish voices in Republican media.
[01:22:54]  It's just a tragedy of the commons.
[01:22:56]  This is just how people are.
[01:22:57]  Tragedy of the masses of the goy.
[01:23:00]  You know, that's just how they operate.
[01:23:02]  So on some level, we're always going to have that.
[01:23:04]  I think people are starting to smarten up and see what's going on because that kind of stuff just doesn't have the same currency anymore.
[01:23:11]  And I think that we should play the same game.
[01:23:13]  You know, we do the same thing.
[01:23:14]  The difference is we take people at their word.
[01:23:18]  When Mark Levin goes up at RJC, which he did a few weeks ago, and he says, you know, well, we're going to make our decisions.
[01:23:26]  We're going to see who's associating with who.
[01:23:28]  And we cancel people all the time.
[01:23:30]  It's like, okay, so we're going to take that clip and we're going to blow it up everywhere.
[01:23:34]  And the difference is that is true to what you're actually saying and actually believing that.
[01:23:38]  It's a two-minute clip.
[01:23:39]  Yeah, it's in context.
[01:23:41]  So let me raise that point.
[01:23:43]  How pathetic is it for Mark Levin and Shapiro, who literally have 5% of their previous audience?
[01:23:49]  They even admit that.
[01:23:51]  What must it be like with all their billionaire backers to know the whole world's turn against them?
[01:23:55]  Instead, they double down and become a stereotype.
[01:23:59]  It has to be very sad.
[01:24:01]  I can't imagine what it's like working in one of those offices, a daily wire, because you got to remember, and I know you do, Mark Levin and Shapiro, these guys were on top 10 years ago.
[01:24:10]  Certainly Mark Levin, you had a huge radio show.
[01:24:16]  They were supporting Taking Me Off the Air.
[01:24:18]  I'll never forget it.
[01:24:19]  Based on Alex's telling of the story, they were not on top 10 years ago.
[01:24:23]  That's not supposed to be.
[01:24:24]  Nope.
[01:24:24]  So to this, but retconning that story.
[01:24:26]  But yeah, this is legitimately just a piece of something they are trying to use to attack Jewish figures in the right-wing media space.
[01:24:37]  They are trying to destroy Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin.
[01:24:42]  And it isn't over a difference in belief about policy towards Israel.
[01:24:48]  It isn't about some actual political difference.
[01:24:52]  It is Nick's intolerance towards Jewish people.
[01:24:58]  And that's great.
[01:25:03]  It's tough.
[01:25:04]  Yeah.
[01:25:04]  It sucks.
[01:25:05]  Yeah.
[01:25:07]  We're a little bit out of the rhythm because we took this trip.
[01:25:11]  Yep.
[01:25:11]  And here's what I'll tell you.
[01:25:13]  Okay.
[01:25:14]  I decided when I was getting this episode ready.
[01:25:16]  Yeah.
[01:25:17]  Fuck you.
[01:25:18]  Yeah.
[01:25:18]  Fuck you.
[01:25:19]  Sorry, buddy.
[01:25:20]  Well, no, what I'm trying to say is I turned it off.
[01:25:26]  Yeah.
[01:25:26]  I said, I'm good.
[01:25:28]  Not the day for it.
[01:25:29]  No, it's just, I get what you're doing.
[01:25:32]  I get the game that is being played throughout this.
[01:25:36]  And I resent that you're talking about people taking clips of you and you're not talking about me.
[01:25:40]  Yep.
[01:25:41]  I take you at face value.
[01:25:43]  I take, like, I assume whatever you're saying is something that you mean to say.
[01:25:49]  Yep.
[01:25:50]  I give the benefit of the doubt all over the place.
[01:25:52]  I play longer clips.
[01:25:54]  Yeah, I mean, it is interesting.
[01:25:57]  It is interesting for a couple of reasons.
[01:25:59]  Because the first thing that he's saying is essentially like, look at how bad these things are.
[01:26:05]  And then he's saying, and we should start doing it too, right?
[01:26:09]  Both of these things preclude the fact that everybody's doing it and already has been, right?
[01:26:13]  And most of the right-wing media is built upon it.
[01:26:16]  Built entirely upon it.
[01:26:17]  So what they should be doing, or in essence, what they are doing with a language that doesn't say it is thanking people for doing this.
[01:26:26]  So that gives us something to say that we're victims by.
[01:26:30]  And the reason that they can't talk about us while saying that people should be doing what we're doing is because we're fucking worse.
[01:26:38]  We're way worse.
[01:26:40]  Well, because the worst thing you hear from them is a little clip.
[01:26:43]  You hear us go through your fucking life.
[01:26:45]  But that's not even it.
[01:26:46]  It's because they're worse in context.
[01:26:48]  That's what I'm saying.
[01:26:49]  Yeah.
[01:26:49]  Well, I mean, yes, yes.
[01:26:51]  It's because it does them a favor to take them out of context.
[01:26:54]  You should, they are, in essence, thanking those people for taking them out of context.
[01:26:59]  Look at what we get to do right now about that.
[01:27:01]  Yeah.
[01:27:02]  Because if they were actually mad about it, they would then point to people who don't do that and say, look at why this is better.
[01:27:09]  And they do not do that.
[01:27:10]  No.
[01:27:10]  Pointing to look at why this is better would be a disaster.
[01:27:13]  Isn't this a much more interesting exploration of the things that I do and put out on air?
[01:27:19]  It is, demonstrably.
[01:27:22]  Anyway, you know, we're coming to the end of the year.
[01:27:25]  Yeah.
[01:27:25]  And maybe I'll be petty.
[01:27:27]  Let's be a little petty.
[01:27:28]  Maybe I'll take a little petty moment.
[01:27:29]  Christmas pettiness.
[01:27:30]  Right.
[01:27:31]  Yeah.
[01:27:31]  That's my gift to myself.
[01:27:32]  It's a little pettiness that I feel like a little scorned that they're not thanking me.
[01:27:37]  Absolutely.
[01:27:40]  I agree.
[01:27:40]  I agree.
[01:27:41]  I agree with me for doing the kind of coverage they wish Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin would do.
[01:27:46]  It bothers me.
[01:27:47]  It wouldn't bother me as much if I didn't know they know about us.
[01:27:50]  That is frustrating action.
[01:27:51]  That they do know about us and then still say things like this is just so fucking annoying.
[01:27:56]  It's just so fucking annoying.
[01:27:58]  Oh, well.
[01:27:59]  Anyway, we'll be back with another episode that won't end pettily.
[01:28:05]  Or will it?
[01:28:06]  Maybe it will.
[01:28:07]  Could 2026 be the year of petty?
[01:28:09]  Tom Petty.
[01:28:10]  Tom Petty, Richard Petty, Petty Behavior.
[01:28:13]  Sure.
[01:28:14]  These are the three pillars of 2026.
[01:28:17]  Well, maybe.
[01:28:19]  We don't know yet.
[01:28:20]  We don't know yet.
[01:28:21]  I like the immediate sound of it.
[01:28:23]  But I don't want to commit to any.
[01:28:24]  No, no, no, no.
[01:28:25]  So we'll see.
[01:28:26]  Maybe pettiness will rule.
[01:28:27]  But we'll find out later when we're back for another episode.
[01:28:31]  But until then, we have a website.
[01:28:32]  Indeed, we do.
[01:28:32]  It's KnowledgeFight.com.
