In this installment, Dan and Jordan loop back to finish up Alex's show on the day that a federal agent killed a citizen, to see him hit the important topics like how hard it is to be white and how great RFK's new food pyramid is.
It is like when I was doing physical therapy, back when we had reached the deductible, baby, the physical therapist used to just laugh whenever he started mucking about.
She got this, I want to say maybe like 14-inch diameter, and it's got like a tire rubber series of things around it, and it gets into each individual spot on your spine.
Anybody who doesn't know what gender they are is someone who you can easily brainwash.
And that makes them a particularly.
If you were brainstorming, who is the group that we could get to be Manchurian candidate murderers and assassins and disruptors and instigators and all the rest, trans would be at the top of the world.
So this just came out from Homeland Security, a press release.
Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers.
You've seen all the video of that.
And one of these violent riders weaponized her vehicle.
Let me run over our law enforcement officers and attempt to kill them.
An act of domestic terrorism.
An ICE officer fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and Pacific Public fired defensive shots.
He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers.
The alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased.
The ICE officers who were hurt are expected to make full recoveries.
This is a direct consequence of the constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults or law enforcement and who are facing 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats.
This is an evolving situation.
We will give the public more information as soon as it becomes available.
Whether it's foreign policy or domestically, Trump's told them, do your job.
We'll back you.
The gloves are off.
I think the left going with the Podesta plan and one battle after another, I don't think this is going to end well for them.
Alex is unquestioningly and supportively reading a press release from the Department of Homeland Security on his show.
The DHS didn't even exist before Bush created it after 9-11, and it's an organization that Alex has been very vocally opposed to over the years.
And not just opposed to their actions, he's opposed to them existing.
If you listened to Alex's show before Trump Times, you would think of the Department of Homeland Security as the enemy.
It was created by Bush and his cronies in order to consolidate power after 9-11 and was the face of the Patriot Act.
It absorbed the responsibilities of other government agencies to streamline executive power, which used to be bad.
The whole idea of Alex's show is that centralized federal government power has to be fought because once it grows to a certain point, you can't fight it anymore.
The DHS was an embodiment of centralized governmental power, which Alex is supposed to be fundamentally opposed to, regardless of what costume that power is wearing.
He was super clear over the course of his career that people seeking to consolidate power want to scare you into letting them take that power.
They created the Department of Homeland Security and passed the Patriot Act based on the fear that you felt about terrorism after 9-11.
The globalists stoked your fears because the more scared you were, the easy it would be for them to justify doing things that the public would never have accepted before.
They could spy on citizens and demographically target Muslims, and their justification would always be that it was to make sure there wasn't another 9-11.
But those police measures were meant to be used against you.
They weren't trying to gain all this power to fight al-Qaeda.
That was the public excuse.
But in the real world, all of this was meant for you.
It was meant to create a prison planet that you were going to live in.
They played on the fear and Islamophobia that ran rampant in the early 2000s, and Alex was begging you to see through it.
That was his whole thing.
This is a point that I cannot make strongly or frequently enough.
Alex's change is not superficial.
It's not something that can be retconned, and it's not something that can be rationalized.
Alex is reading a press release put out by the Department of Homeland Security and demanding that his audience accept that they can kill citizens if they feel threatened.
The audience probably feels a little uncomfortable with that, so it's important to understand that the DHS is fighting something very scary, even scarier than terrorism was in 2002.
It's super normal to change positions on certain topics over time.
People grow up, circumstances change, and sometimes we just learn that the thing that we thought would work doesn't work.
I'll never judge somebody for changing their mind, even if I don't agree with the conclusion that they may come to, which is why it's important to be super clear about what Alex is doing.
He isn't changing his mind.
He's acting exactly like the bad guys he always imagined he was fighting against did.
He never had a problem with the police state and all that shit.
Yeah, it does look to me like a self-defense case that he had reasonable fear for his safety.
I think there'll be probably some misleading video footage.
I'm sure there'll be some AI fakes forthcoming.
So, you know, people make sure you're alert for that.
You get the original material.
But it looks to me like the, and I think what will mislead some people is it appears to veer like it's going in a different direction than at the officer, but I believe that only happens after he shoots.
And so the driver is then dead.
And that's what causes Go to swerve back.
But you notice when it's first coming out, it looks like it's heading right to the officer who appears to be the one who pulled his gun and defended himself.
If you understand what's going on here, Barnes and Alex are trying to find plausible ways to argue in favor of the ICE agent shooting a U.S. citizen.
They're not particularly interested in facts, but just want to find something that's good enough for now.
Barnes comes up with the idea that the victim's wheels only turned from the officer after the first shot, which is not true.
Her car would need to be going straight and to the left in order to ever make contact with the officer, but video from before she was shot clearly shows her turning her wheel to the right when she was alive.
Previously, the front tires had been pointed left because she was in reverse, angling her car to drive away to the right away from the officer who shot her.
It's important to understand that even though we ended the last episode with Barnes expressing a certain amount of discomfort with seeing the video of the shooting, he gets over it pretty quick and he gets on message.
They are Trump Media Surrogates, and the DHS has put out their press release that it was a good shooting, so now it's their job to sell it.
It doesn't matter how they do it, and no one cares if they lie.
All that matters is the narrative, and they're going to prop it up.
Yeah, I mean, I would hope, personally, and I'm not going to judge anybody's number for what it is, but I would hope it would be like several hundred seconds after I saw a person get murdered where I'd be like, eh, she probably had it coming.
You know, I would want some more distance between when I had stopped watching somebody get murdered and when I had suddenly decided that they weren't being murdered.
So there are two main playbooks Alex can use with people, depending on whether or not he wants to demonize them.
If he's invested in making the audience not care about them, he does what you see here.
A main feature of this treatment and one of the ways that he's able to paint people in a negative light to the audience is through insinuation and appearing very curious.
He has lots of questions like, what did this woman do to make I shoot her?
He asks these questions as a way of pretending that there's an answer that would make this situation okay, and your brain should just fill in the blanks.
Whatever would justify this is what happened before.
In a moment like this, it's important to recognize how severe the editorial slant is for Alex and Barnes.
Whether or not they're on anyone's payroll, they're mouthpieces of the state.
And not even for a second did Alex consider reporting this as an inappropriate shooting carried out by a federal agent against a U.S. citizen.
From the second he heard the news, the only question has been, how can we make this her fault in a way that the audience will accept?
And Barnes has fully come on board with that in a matter of a couple minutes.
So if Alex believes that this is an appropriate way to handle law enforcement, it seems like he really doesn't have much of a leg to stand on if he ever wants to criticize cops shooting people.
This really matters because Alex's ideology is very much rooted in the two events of Ruby Ridge and Waco.
These are incidents where the federal government overstepped and took actions that killed American citizens, and the extreme right wing was galvanized around how offensive it was that they did that.
If you're somebody who really cared about Ruby Ridge and Waco, you couldn't see ICE shooting a person in a car and not feel the same kind of revulsion.
Alex can say that ICE is there carrying out legal orders and that the victim in this case was impeding them, but you could say the same thing about the Weavers or the Branch Davidians.
If the complaint Alex had was ever that federal law enforcement was oppressing and killing U.S. citizens, then he would be required to treat this situation the same way.
And this is where the critical point comes up.
Alex never cared about federal law enforcement killing U.S. citizens.
Randy Weaver was connected with the Aryan nations, and the Branch Davidians were an extremist end times religious cult.
The problem for Alex is that he likes racists and pseudo-Christian fundamentalists, but that's also a really unpopular message, so he packaged his shit the way he did.
If Alex ever cared about federal law enforcement killing citizens, then he would have a different response now.
There are a lot of situations that are pretty complex, but this is pretty fucking simple.
The way he's responding to this incident reveals that he never believed any of this shit to begin with, and this is all an act.
No, their whole justification for the fucking OKC bombing is that it doesn't matter because the government needs to feel the response from what they did at Waco, right?
Like to be here now with those people is fucking ridiculous.
Yeah, I think, I mean, the key is to be wary of the risks and the downside.
And my concern is that some members of the administration are being misled.
So I think they've been misled by that there's a corrupt former general who got who joined Guido in Arguiato, how I want to pronounce his name back in 2019, who got expelled, got arrested, indicted, imprisoned by first the Biden administration, then the Trump administration.
And he's been pitching all kinds of stories about how he can unravel the 2020 election and all this other stuff.
So my concern is if the Trump administration is irrational exuberance and Trump thinking just because his snatching grab went well, that he should then go into.
So that guy that Barnes is talking about is Hugo Carvajal, the guy who wrote a letter to Trump saying that he could spill the beans on the Chavez and Feduro regime.
It's interesting that Barnes is calling him a lying fraud, and Alex isn't challenging that because mere days before this episode, Alex was interviewing Patrick Byrne on his show about how Byrne was pretending to have convinced Carvajal to flip on the deep state.
If we're supposed to take Barnes seriously, then Carvajal is a fraud, and it stands to reason that Patrick Byrne is a fraud.
General Flynn is supposed to be mixed up in Carvajal coming forward, too.
So I guess he's pushing the same hoax.
And Trump mysteriously posted on Truth Social that Alex should talk to Patrick Byrne about the truth about Venezuela.
So Trump must be pushing this fraud hoax too.
Or you could believe that Carvajal is the real deal and the Byrne Flynn team are on the right side of this thing.
If that's the case, then why is Barnes attacking them like this?
If those dudes are legit and Barnes is trying to call them a fraud, kind of makes him look like a globalist.
Alex sidesteps these hard questions by just pretending to not understand what Barnes is talking about and moving on so the audience doesn't realize how his show is trying to sell them contradictory stories about the overthrow of a federal foreign government.
Also, why is Alex against overthrowing Cuba and Colombia?
I mean, in this, if we're dealing with what he is saying about how it's okay to colonize people again, essentially we're just talking about pushing a sphere of power further and further away from our borders, which is going to swallow up everybody sooner or later.
The issue isn't so much I don't think Trump has any appetite and recognizes the high risk of trying to go in and actually even though he's talking big about boots on the ground.
I can call Barnes up, and he's not been watching my show, and I've been watching his, though we both watched some a little bit.
And I can say, hey, this is what I'm thinking.
What do you think?
And he'll finish my sentence, just like I can do with General Flynn or so many others, because we've got the grasp of the depth of the knowledge.
And we're here trying to get other people to understand how that works because we're not trying to give you fish.
We're trying to teach you how to fish.
And look, I know a lot of you are smarter than I am in many ways.
I'm not up here.
We're talking about the public that doesn't know.
And now, just because we've had this global awakening, we're being lied to, there are a lot of newbies that don't really have depth and they just kind of come up with real conspiracy theories that have no basis in reality.
Or little factoids that don't matter that they build whole things around.
When I said I have to do this, they all spun and said, oh, he's being told to it.
No, I have to because I neurotically, even when people see this, where I like tell the truth and stuff, though, even though it hurts me, I can't help it.
I'm not stupid.
And now I've talked to the internet experts, seen the numbers.
Nobody's had bot push like her.
Nobody's pushed on the algorithm on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
I told the story a few months ago during the eight months ago during the confirmation of Kennedy.
The week he's about to be confirmed, she comes out with Eddie Mercury guy, and they do these shows, and they literally say, Oh, this woman might be Mossad.
He might have given her a card.
No evidence.
He might be in Epstein.
We're about to release it all.
And I went on a hike with my Navy Shield buddy and his buddy.
We all get out of the car that morning and, like, literally my phone, all their phones are being pushed this.
Like, I've never seen before.
So we all hike two hours listening to it.
There's no information.
And I'm like, man, is she an operative?
This sounds like she's trying to take down Kennedy.
I said, I need to look at her.
And I kind of just moved on.
So my main thing's not infighting or focusing on their host.
You know, I'm in raw data.
But you look at that and so much more she does.
I don't know if she's doing it consciously or she's being handled, but I mean, it's right there, people.
I'm banned on YouTube.
I'm banned on Instagram, Facebook.
She is literally force-fed, and all the liberal shows love her.
All the top Democrats are attacking me for attacking her.
Alex doesn't really care about what Candace says or does, as evidenced by him deciding that she was maybe with the deep state when she attacked RFK, and then he just decided to ignore it.
Even if she was a deep state agent in the Trump dipshit media, it didn't really matter to Alex because she wasn't interfering with his game.
As it stands now, she's kind of a threat to Alex's game because she's the embodiment of what he used to be.
Alex sees himself as the Rush Limbaugh of the new Trump New World Order, where he and the people aligned with him are the voice of state power.
What's good for Trump is good for America.
So Alex will always promote Trump's best interests and tell you that it's all about what's best for you.
Conversely, Candace is insane.
She's given up on the need to be associated with the power structure and decided to just be as inflammatory as possible.
From getting sued by the Macrons to blaming Erica Kirk and turning point leaders for being involved in Charlie's death to doing sympathetic jailhouse interviews with Harvey Weinstein about how he's the victim of feminism.
Alex has the same problem with someone like Nick Fuentes, but the calculation is different there.
Alex is certain that Nick is a white supremacist, and he also knows that Nick's audience is full of irony-poisoned cynical Nazis who see him as a net positive.
He can be pretty sure that Nick's audience doesn't pose any threat to him as long as he's racist enough, and that's no problem.
Conversely, he can't be really sure that Candace won't burn him just to put it on her resume.
Yeah, like he can't trust that she's willing to play the game.
Yeah.
And even though Nick is not willing to play a lot of the game, he's clearly not like invested in destroying Alex because he could have by now very easily.
And the more you engage with her in a way that allows her to push a little bit further, what you're actually doing is teaching her more powers in a way.
You know, like, oh, you can do this.
You can get away with this.
You can get away with this.
By fighting with her, you're only making her stronger.
That she is a witness about federal election fraud.
She is, they can use the rid of habeas corpus to go to federal court to get it, but they haven't done it because Todd Blanche keeps stonewalling him, keeps derailing him.
He keeps sabotaging him because he wants to be liked by the New York Times crowd.
Tina Peters is in jail for granting unauthorized access to voting machine information to a bunch of QAnon dipshits who went on to post it on message boards, which is a gigantic breach of sensitive data that also didn't prove any voter fraud.
I understand that there's a slight levity to this exchange that they're having, but this isn't an idea that can be floated on InfoWars in jest in the past.
It's just ridiculous.
These are the fingerprints of how far off the rails this thing is.
That they can just be like, Yeah, let's send in the Delta Force to get a person out of a state prison because Trump can't pardon them.
There is no more fundamental betrayal of the concept of states' rights than, like, well, we can keep them here.
You know, like if your level of sovereignty is such that the federal government can just go in and grab whomever they want from wherever they want, then you do not have rights.
And Governor Waltz would love to see a riot out here as well because it's the only way they're going to be able to distract from all of the rampant fraud that's going on out here.
So that is part of the plan.
Spark this up, set the city on fire because people will start talking about that instead of the rampant Somali fraud that they're all involved in.
So let's assume that Nick Sortor and Alex aren't completely full of shit and that everyone is trying to cover up the extravagant levels of Somali-based fraud.
Does that make ICE shooting someone in the face okay?
If I'm following their logic, there's a lot of Somali-related fraud in Minneapolis.
So ICE is there to arrest a bunch of people, whether or not they're from Somalia or have anything to do with fraud.
The globalists don't want ICE to deport all their minions, so they're fomenting protests against ICE, which then led to ICE killing a citizen.
If that's okay, then I don't know who ICE could not justify killing.
It seems like you could pretty easily reverse engineer justification for them doing almost anything if this is okay.
I'm kind of glad that these people are just this fucking stupid now, and don't even for a second consider that it would be possible for them to continue supporting ICE, continue to terrorize migrant communities, and also be against this shooting.
In the past, they would feel obligated to pretend that they cared, which would just be annoying at this point.
I mean, it is so fundamental to the, like, how would I put it? The corrupt nature of the entire organization.
Because if you were at all sincere about what your stated purpose was as a government organization, you could just go, oh yeah, that guy murdered somebody.
Yeah, that's why you all have to have your fucking cosplaying social media ass administration figures talking like they're fucking King Leonidas or some shit.
And if you zoom in on it a little bit, you can clearly, I don't know if you guys can do that live like that, but clearly you can see her hitting the agent with the vehicle, right?
So the footage that Nick is talking about is a wider shot from further away down the street from where the shooting happened.
It's partially obscured by trees and another vehicle in between the person taking the video and the incident.
It's also shot from above and to the right of where the cars are on the street.
So the perspective makes it look much more like the agent who shot the woman is in the path of the car.
But it's not if you look at other angles.
Just to be crystal clear about this, Nick Sordor is calling Alex mere hours after the shooting, peddling unconvincing videos and arguing this woman got she deserved to get shot in the face.
Is this journalism?
He went to dinner with these guys and they're on edge.
This is outrageous, but because we have the video and you have hundreds of people attacking ICE, they're there just arresting illegal aliens with huge rap sheets, murderers, rapists, you name it.
But because we have this so quickly, they're screwed.
Because even when the footage came out from behind, it was clear he looks like he jumps out of the way.
No, he's hit.
He's boom and literally has.
I mean, this is insane.
This guy should be like a wide receiver or something.
Boom, he's hit and shoots her.
I mean, God almighty.
I mean, I've never seen such reflexes.
So this is wild.
Nick Sordor.
Wow.
What are they going to do now that we have this frontal footage showing she indeed hit him with the car?
I mean, they're going to try to suppress this, aren't they?
These dudes are jacking off on air about how the globalists are going to suppress this video, but they seem to just be ignoring that the video they're playing is watermarked from ABC.
They stole this video from the mainstream media, and now they're making up a fun story about how the mainstream media is never going to let anyone see it.
To be fair, though, Alex has cropped the video at this point, so you can't see the ABC thing.
Well, they were trying to pull her over because she was going after Ace Asia, like following them around and harassing, which is a dangerous situation to begin with, right?
When they're trying to conduct operations.
So they were just, they were trying to make contact with her and get her out of the vehicle.
So Nick is reporting to Alex that the woman who was shot had been following ICE prior to the shooting because presumably this is what ICE agents who he's friends with and went to dinner the night before with him told him.
This is allegedly journalism.
Because I'm an old school InfoWars listener, I know to question authority and not just automatically trust the things that federal agents say.
And that served me well because I didn't just fall for this bullshit like Nick did and then pass it along to Alex and disseminate nonsense.
The woman was shot at 9.37 a.m.
And we know that she dropped her child off at school at approximately 9.
From all available information, her car pulled up at the location where the shooting happened a couple minutes before the incident.
And it does appear that she moved her car in a way that looks like it's blocking traffic, like perpendicular to the flow of traffic.
However, the same video shows that her car was positioned this way and a bunch of cars drove past her.
So the argument that she was capable of physically blocking the street doesn't hold up.
The same video that shows her in any way impeding traffic shows that she wasn't.
Further, videos from right before the shooting clearly indicate that she was moving her car out of the road.
You can see from cases like this how Alex's brand is built on weaponizing curiosity.
If a bunch of kids get shot at a school, that's a mystery that no one wants to answer the hard questions about, even years after all those questions have been answered.
In cases like this, where Alex has to defend the state killing a citizen on the street, there's a lot of less anomalies that he's hung up on.
You're never going to have to find a Wolfgang how big about this one.
You're supposed to be curious about the things that Alex wants you to think are fake and accept whatever flimsy explanation he comes up with for the things you're supposed to ignore.
That's why they're so effective at their operations.
That's why they're so laser focused and are very good at what they do.
Muscular dudes.
And you know, the female agents are typically assigned to other roles, not apprehensions, which just makes sense.
And so, messing with these guys in general is a bad idea.
And some of the rioters, I'm going to start calling them rioters that are out here now because I've been forced off the scene due to their physical aggression against me.
I'm going to need backup out here by tonight.
I'm just telling you.
They were trying to go up and push these ice agents.
Nick needs security because he's an agitation agent.
He's not a journalist, and it would be generous to even call him an activist.
He's a piece of shit attention seeker who has no coherent ideology.
And the direct result of his actions are that less people are safe.
He puts people in danger.
I strongly suspect that he doesn't even understand what he's doing, not being journalistic, and how it has no merit because he was 10 years old when James O'Keefe's Acorn video came out.
It's very notable to see how much someone like Nick seems to have no thought that the tide could ever turn on him.
He seems very naive, kind of like a social media dipshit who's in way over his head and is a little high on feeling like the state power structure likes him.
I don't see a long career here.
This guy is Ray Romano-ish in the voice and corky Romano-ish in the action.
Because it's a newer agency Trump's got to control.
It is the FBI.
I'm not saying they're all bad, but God help us.
I mean, this is just insane.
They should just disband the FBI and just roll over the good agents and call them DHS.
We don't need two federal law enforcements.
I'm serious.
It's time to get rid of it, folks.
I mean, this is a complete joke.
We get nothing but execution by DHS and Tom Omen and nothing but horse shit from the FBI that's sitting around a bunch of politically correct lawyers with their thumbs up their asses.
Alex should think that neither the DHS nor the FBI should be allowed to engage in policing.
The FBI has law enforcement roles, but they can't enforce state laws.
This kind of statement coming from Alex is just fucking insanity.
And anybody who has any familiarity with his show should hear that and immediately recognize this dude has lost it.
Him saying that the FBI should be closed, that's totally fine.
And it fits with the character that he's been playing, but he should also want the DHS gone.
I'm starting to suspect that Alex's audience is largely artificial because no one who listened to him before 2015 could possibly accept this.
And most of the people who started listening to him after Trump have to have moved on to the harder stuff by now.
I know that when I went to the Tucker event in Pennsylvania, there were a ton of people in InfoWars shirts there, but I'm beginning to think that it's all just a brand.
None of them watch this shit.
They've just, they have an idea of who Alex and Infowars are in their head, and that's what the shirts mean to them.
Alex can come on stage and do the catchphrases and they'll cheer, but I can't imagine that there's an actual audience for this show, let alone one that could support a business.
I mean, in a way, I do, I would accept the interpretation of like part of the reason people support his show is so they don't feel like they need to watch it.
Therefore, it seems insane to call somebody a soy boy and then also be like, and they're willing to stand up and shove a gigantic ICE agent, and then they're mad that they get shot in a tear gas.
Well, what I can tell you, Alex, is these ICE guys aren't leaving because some soy boy mayor goes on TV and says something edgy, says the F-word on live TV so that he can have his cute little sound bites.
You know, it is interesting to me because what's unspoken amongst all of these people is that local law enforcement is de facto an arm of federal law enforcement.
Well, I think that, you know, in the same way that when there was the, you know, the razor wire at the border, you know, there is this moment of what happens when there's conflicting federal and state policy.
But I mean, that's, but he's, but that's the point that Nick Sortor is making correctly, saying that there's nothing that this mayor can do about it is because the only thing that the mayor can do about it, they won't do.
I think that there is like something really ominous about Nick Sortor pretending to be a journalist, coming onto Alex's show that pretends to be about news and being like, ICE isn't scared of you.
Nobody is actually threatened by this guy, but what he is doing is he is positioning himself to be able to say, when one of these leftist goons that he has empowered out here that goes and, God forbid, kills an ICE agent that he hopes so badly will happen, he'll be able to say, yep, I told them they should leave.
It's their fault.
They should have left when I told them to leave.
So it's their fault that one of my lefties went out and killed an ICE agent.
Notice the talking point before Trump even got back in is ICE is going to go kill the illegals, but because they've been so restrained under attack, it happened.
So now it's like, you're going to die if you don't.
And now finally she's ramming them with a car.
She dies.
And he doesn't wait to see what happened.
He immediately says, this is your fault.
No, it's your fault for running an invasion against this country.
He wants us to believe that 97 police in some unnamed city were involved in a murder for hire scheme where they kept computers and lists of all their past hits in a safe house.
He was always about wanting the government to do a certain thing, namely kick out all the non-white people from the country or be so hostile towards them that they want to leave.
He's always wanted a white nationalist infrastructure of government that caters to what he believes to be the natural order, which prioritizes the desires of straight white men over the rights of everyone else.
However, early in his career, that sounded bad.
Back in the day, you'd get treated like David Duke if you said things like David Duke, and that was no way to get rich.
Even more than getting rich, Alex desperately needs to be accepted and think that everyone thinks he's cool.
And he was smart enough to recognize that if you were openly Pat Buchanan, people were going to treat you like Pat Buchanan.
So he hid.
He made his criticisms appear to be political, when in reality, they were just kind of based on racist vibes.
Alex was more successful than pretty much anyone ever in terms of pretending that his hatred of the government was based on some bullshit ideas about states' rights or posse comitatus, when in hindsight, it was an awesome gamble that he took.
That gamble would always pay off as long as there wasn't a federal government in place that might make your dreams of a white country come true.
Until that point, you can hide all of your bullshit behind criticisms of the state and how tyrannical DUI checkpoints are.
But now the government he's always wanted is in place and they're achieving the results he's always wanted through the means he's always pretended to oppose.
He can't just tell the audience that he was fucking with them about that police state stuff because that might actually get him killed.
And even if it didn't, it would severely impact his self-image.
He's a liar, but as long as he pretends not to be, he can feel like he's not.
He wants the audience to stop calling him a hypocrite because to the thing that mattered to him, he's not been hypocritical.
All the stuff he's transparently hypocritical about, that's all just the stuff he was using a mask to hide his core values.
So it's kind of annoying that his audience would get caught up on that and be like, hey, man, I thought you didn't like the police state.
I mean, it is interesting that to this day, no matter how many different iterations of this story there are, at no point in time does the genie show up and he's like, I'll grant you three wishes.
And the guy goes, no, I've seen this shit before.
I don't want any fucking wishes.
Go back into your lamp.
Leave me alone.
Leave me the fuck alone, right?
But somehow we still are like, I'll wish for this.
Well, I mean, Robin Williams being a genie really takes a lot of the ironic punishment out of it that was a pretty important part of the story for a long time.
Finally, we stand up and say we're going to deport all these people with huge criminal records.
And he's throwing fetch saying, get out of here.
You're the ones that did this.
No, you and your party did this, invading this country.
And we're not guilted by your political correctness anymore.
Though I had, oh, God, without even looking for it, I saw a bunch of videos in the U.S., Australia, you name it, where little five-year-olds go to public school for the first time.
And they're crying and saying, I wish I wasn't white.
I learned I'm a bad person today.
I hate it.
That happened.
I got four children.
When I'm still little, I've been to one of my kids a year ago.
Imagine little kids are teaching them their bad because they're white.
Trying to, and I play you all the clips of the administrators like, we need to teach whites they're bad.
It's all insane, folks.
It's all divide and conquer.
And Mondani saying, yeah, whites can't own their own homes.
We're going to take white people's homes and give them to other people.
They're not going to give brown people anything.
They're just selling you on tyranny to get you to accept it.
So Alex will see a tweet that's lying about something that someone who works in Momdani's office says, and he'll twist it and report it as Momdani saying that white people's homes are going to be expropriated and given to brown people.
That's not true, but it's true to how Alex feels because he's a racist.
Kids at school being taught about non-white historical figures or them learning about colonialism isn't them being taught that white people are bad, but it feels that way to Alex because he's a racist.
He's a sensitive loser who helps other sensitive losers feel okay about their inability to cope with the modern world.
It's a bunch of fat white women and weird fat gay guys and a couple of black ladies going, yeah, we used to help everybody, but we don't help white people now.
And you're just like, if I was at FEMA, I'd help anybody.
Yeah, some racist dipshit on social media posted that claim, and the backup for it was FEMA's 2022 to 2026 strategic plan, which articulated a policy of, quote, the consistent and systemic, fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals.
FEMA said that their goal was to treat everyone equally, but to Alex, that feels like them saying that they're not going to help white people because he's a racist.
This is loser stuff.
That's really, I think, what you know how effective it was when people started calling people Trump weird for a little while.
So Alex is making an interesting and entirely made-up point here, but because he brought it up, I should tell you that the entire reason we have a tipping culture in the United States is because of sub-minimum wages that were a holdover from slavery.
If you go to other countries, it can be seen as rude to tip people in service industry positions because it implicitly assumes that their job is worth less than some other job that you wouldn't tip someone for.
We've taught ourselves that it's just a nice thing to do, and obviously tipping someone is better than not in our current economy.
But let's not kid ourselves here.
We wouldn't have a service industry where labor costs are subsidized by customers if it weren't for business owners in the South looking for ways to continue to enslave people after the Civil War.
Anyway, I'd love to see the studies that Alex is citing here.
I imagine it's a paper published by Grand Theft Auto University.
There have also been a fair amount of studies that have been done about implicit tipping bias that disfavors black people in the service industry from both black and white customers.
Naturally.
There's a pretty healthy body of analysis and research that's been done on that.
So I just think Alex is stupid.
And maybe he follows a bunch of racists on Twitter, and that's where he sees a lot of stuff.
So it's fairly obvious from pictures of the scene that there's a bullet hole in the car's windshield, but that doesn't prove anything.
The officer fired multiple shots, and the hole in the windshield is about as far to the driver's side edge of the window as you can get.
But more importantly, you can't tell the angle that shot was fired just from the picture.
It's notable that there's only one bullet hole in the windshield, though.
If you take the one hole to be proof that the officer was right to shoot at this person, then you have to take the fact that there's only one hole in the windshield as proof that he fired multiple shots after he was no longer in any danger.
So Alex accepting this, great in the moment, but upon reflection, maybe it looks bad.
I hope all those We Are Change people and the 9-11 truthers who really hated the Iraq war are excited about how Alex is so deep in the weeds supporting a tyrant that he has to retreat to pretending God tells him to support the guy.
So analyzing Trump, everywhere he's got executive power, he's making the really good moves.
He runs into brick walls, the DMG, and that invincible corruption.
And Thomas Siska is a great producer here, a great researcher, really smart.
And I wanted to get him in here to talk about this.
Trump just came out.
Blackstone craters at where Trump teases institutional ban on single-family homes.
So you've got, not just here, but in Europe and other places, the big banks, Blackstone at the center of it, which is a subsidiary of BlackRock, buying them all up for 40%, 50% what they're worth to literally drive the market up and enslave the people.
Alex knows nothing about this story, but he shouldn't be for it.
Trump posted on social media that he wanted to ban large institutional investors from buying single-family homes, which is completely against the free market stuff that Alex is supposed to love.
Trump posting about this caused Blackstone's stock to drop immediately, which under other circumstances might be seen as someone manipulating the stock market, but I guess that's cool now.
Also, Blackstone is not a subsidiary of BlackRock, although they do sound similar because they both start with black, and then Stones and Rocks are the same thing.
It's fascinating how Alex works 20 hours a day and gets visions from God, but still has to make up lies to cover for the fact that he doesn't know basic details about the stories that he's lying to the audience about.
And now he's set to go to Davos in two weeks and tell the globalists directly to their face that there's a new sheriff in town and all this is coming to an end.
And Americans are going to be able to afford to buy houses again.
We know that the 50-year mortgage was not taken well when he announced that 50-year mortgage.
So I get that Alex is trying to move on pretty fast there, but did he just say that Trump suggested 50-year mortgages because someone told him to say it and he wasn't paying attention?
I used to have anger towards something, and now it is developed into a deep and abiding sadness at tragedy.
Like the idea that your brain would have been so warped and so fucked up, and you would be so stupid that you're like, Trump is going to keep these billionaires from exploiting the housing market.
He's already got energy prices cut, but he's only turning it back a little bit when it comes to overall inflation.
But this issue of where BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, Blackstone literally are just buying up millions of houses and just sitting there empty to drive up prices and F with us.
They're not doing that in other parts of the world.
They are literally screwing us on purpose.
They do it in Germany, too.
And it should be illegal.
It's absolutely.
And so the fact that Daniel Trump does what he says, the fact he's doing this, this is so exciting.
So he also didn't sign that executive order, but Alex really shouldn't be for this.
I get that everyone is being hurt by the horrible economy that folks like it only works for people like Trump.
And it's pretty impossible to deny socialist-leaning policies.
But if this is okay with Alex, then what is the line in terms of planned economies?
I get that Thomas is saying that Trump is going to bring back ownership, but he's doing it by depriving the institutional investors from being allowed to own things.
I know it sucks that they own everything, but why should we penalize them for being so rich and successful?
So obviously, the reason that we should encroach upon the rich people's rights in this case is because they've accumulated that wealth unfairly and because they're using that amassed wealth in a way that's detrimental to the public good.
The market's never going to correct itself, so Trump has to step in to use the government to make sure that the individual little person has a fair shot.
But if you accept that, then why stop there?
Insurance is a pretty fucked up market that's totally out of control and not serving the public good.
So how about a president just wave a magic wand and fix it with an executive order?
Student debt loan debt is bullshit.
Payday loans are a criminal racket.
And tons of companies get away with treating their employees like shit.
If you think the president could just ban institutional investors from buying homes, then there's no reason to think that they can't do all this other shit too.
And basically, we're doing this, then we're communist, right?
Yeah, I mean, and it would be the barest attempt by any of the other fucks to just be like, hey, maybe let's put a cap on how much we can get fucked by billionaires would lead to these fucks going absolutely insane.
So President Trump is saying, all United States defense contractors and the defense industry as a whole, beware.
While we make the best military equipment in the world, no other country is even close.
Defense contractors are currently issuing massive dividends to their shareholders and massive stock buybacks at the expense and detriment of investing in plants and equipment.
This situation will no longer be allowed or tolerated.
Also, executive pay packages in the defense industry are exorbitant and unjustifiable given how slowly these companies are delivering vital equipment to our military and ours.
Then a little bit later, he tweeted, quote, I've determined that for the good of our country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our military budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 trillion, but rather $1.5 trillion.
And just like that, the big defense contractors' stock started going up again.
Got to imagine someone made a lot of money off that.
There's actually an old South Park episode where they, that was the whole premise is that Eric Cartman has a vision from Aunt Jemima, and she says, they lied, child.
It's the pyramid.
The pyramid.
They lied.
And then he has a vision.
The pyramid turns upside down.
And that solves the whole crisis that they were in.
Something that I find endlessly fascinating about folks like Alex and the people who work for him is their inability to understand fiction, but specifically Cartman.
There's something about Cartman that shuts their brains off.
And I think a big part of it is that they're jealous of his freedom.
He's an asshole who's wrong about pretty much everything.
And the rest of the kids just have to put up with him.
They wish that they could be so loudly racist, sexist, and generally a piece of shit without everyone just deciding, I don't want to talk to you anymore.
It is a, I would say it's a thing that most people I have found to disagree with politically have in common is an inability to interpret fiction as a language only as something that they can then have.
You know, like, I have this thing that was made for me, and so I can make it whatever the fuck I want, as opposed to somebody has made something and a way of opening a conversation with me.
You know, we are both together creating this as we go forward.
I think there's something about Cartman that, like they like people like Alex and and his milieu, they see um, like the consequences of his actions, like people being like you suck yeah, and they feel bad for him yeah, as opposed to like recognizing that he sucks, right.
They feel because they've felt that in their life.
Yeah, they've felt people not want to hang out with them because they won't stop calling them a Jew or whatever right.
You know, I would prefer, personally, to live in like a North Korea kind of situation because then I wouldn't even have to bother trying to talk myself into why Fearless Leader is a genius for flipping the food pyramid upside down.
I'd just have to eat different.
I could just be told to eat different.
I wouldn't have to be like, holy shit, what a genius.
I mean, the fact that we're so fucking scrambling to the point where I think black rocks should have to die blessed with shit kind of tells you exactly how much that lady got murdered.
And then he spends like 15 fucking minutes ranting about how black people had it better under Jim Crow and how the Godfather is real and how he wants to play a clip from the Godfather.
And then he has people Google it and try to pull it up and it's really hard for them to find.
But I think, you know, but I think even beyond like not evolving, he's devolving.
Yeah.
I think that I think that it's necessary, though.
Well, he's being presented with a choice of get the racist fruits that you always were trying to sow or cut down this tree because it's growing in ways that you said are demonic.
If you are going to describe the goal of the show as to render all of your emotions towards the shooting inert, regardless of what you may philosophically feel about it, if your emotions are completely neutralized, especially if you're an Infowars listener, then tomorrow's a different day.
