► 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
We're a couple dudes who 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
Please.
► 00:01:12
What month is it?
► 00:01:13
It's April.
► 00:01:13
Oh, shit.
► 00:01:14
Yeah.
► 00:01:15
Uh oh.
► 00:01:15
What's your bright spot today?
► 00:01:16
There are no traditions anymore for the rest of the year.
► 00:01:18
It was really just the first couple months.
► 00:01:19
It was just those first couple months.
► 00:01:21
Yeah.
► 00:01:21
So I'll just, I'll tell you my bright spot.
► 00:01:23
Okay.
► 00:01:23
It's honestly, I'm conflicted about this.
► 00:01:27
Oh, my God.
► 00:01:29
I said I wasn't going to talk about Survivor.
► 00:01:32
Sure.
► 00:01:32
And I meant to.
► 00:01:34
Right.
► 00:01:34
I meant to not talk about it.
► 00:01:36
You had every intention to not talk about it.
► 00:01:38
Sincere, from the heart.
► 00:01:40
I got to cut this shit out.
► 00:01:42
Right.
► 00:01:42
But I was watching last night's episode of Survivor, and something happened that I got really excited about, and then I felt really disappointed by.
► 00:01:51
Oh, no.
► 00:01:51
So, mild spoilers.
► 00:01:53
I'm not going to say who got voted out or anything like that.
► 00:01:56
All right.
► 00:01:56
But so, Jeff Probst.
► 00:01:59
Yeah.
► 00:02:00
He starts giving a speech to everybody about how.
► 00:02:05
They were trying to come up with ways to use nature to inform the twists in the game.
► 00:02:11
Sure.
► 00:02:12
And that nature had blessed them with a perfect metaphor.
► 00:02:17
Cautiously optimistic about this?
► 00:02:19
Blood moon.
► 00:02:20
Less optimistic.
► 00:02:21
There was a blood moon.
► 00:02:24
And so Jeff Probst is like, there's going to be a twist that will fundamentally shake this game forever.
► 00:02:31
Werewolves are real.
► 00:02:33
That would be one.
► 00:02:35
That would shake everything.
► 00:02:36
Yeah.
► 00:02:37
But it's a blood moon.
► 00:02:39
Right.
► 00:02:39
It's a twist that will change the game forever.
► 00:02:42
Right.
► 00:02:42
How can this not be my big pitch make them bleed?
► 00:02:48
Make them give you a pint of blood.
► 00:02:51
Sure.
► 00:02:51
Sure.
► 00:02:53
I mean, it would be interesting legally.
► 00:02:57
But, you know, on the other hand, they take a lot of shit from people's bodies on reality TV shows.
► 00:03:03
I don't think it would be illegal for Jeff Groves to be like the person who bleeds into this cup the fastest.
► 00:03:08
The fastest immune.
► 00:03:09
Ooh, that's a good question.
► 00:03:10
It can't be voted out.
► 00:03:11
How would you?
► 00:03:12
Here's my question, though, right?
► 00:03:14
So, you're saying it's a speed bleeding challenge?
► 00:03:16
Speed bleed.
► 00:03:17
So now I'm thinking, looking at my own body, where does blood come out the fastest from?
► 00:03:23
I'm chopping my femoral artery, and then I'm dead in 30 seconds.
► 00:03:26
No, okay.
► 00:03:27
Here's where the legally comes into it.
► 00:03:29
Sure.
► 00:03:30
There probably would have to be some sort of rules around where you could cut.
► 00:03:39
I like that in my fantasy, I'm like, oh, here's the trick I'll kill myself.
► 00:03:43
Yeah.
► 00:03:44
That'll be fast.
► 00:03:45
Got him.
► 00:03:45
Got him.
► 00:03:47
I know it's not ever going to happen.
► 00:03:50
Yeah.
► 00:03:50
But it felt like the closest that we were ever going to get to my fantasy version of completely insane Jeff Probst.
► 00:03:57
Yeah.
► 00:03:58
Really going too far with the premise.
► 00:04:00
Yeah.
► 00:04:00
And the fact that it was a blood moon, I was like, it's right there.
► 00:04:03
This is happening.
► 00:04:04
You know, for a minute, I thought, this is fucking happening.
► 00:04:08
We're losing it.
► 00:04:09
Yeah.
► 00:04:09
And then it didn't happen.
► 00:04:10
What happened?
► 00:04:12
What was the theme?
► 00:04:13
They just voted out three people.
► 00:04:15
It's not like.
► 00:04:16
Because of a blood moon?
► 00:04:17
Yeah.
► 00:04:18
Because it was just extra blood.
► 00:04:20
Yeah.
► 00:04:20
Extra bloody?
► 00:04:21
Yeah.
► 00:04:21
Like, the whole speech that Propst was giving was this, like, there's a twist that's going to change the game forever.
► 00:04:27
Yeah.
► 00:04:28
It's something that's never happened on the show before.
► 00:04:30
Like, well, yeah, bleed in a cup.
► 00:04:32
Yeah.
► 00:04:32
Yeah.
► 00:04:33
Just from your hands.
► 00:04:34
Squeeze blood from a stone, literally.
► 00:04:36
Yes.
► 00:04:37
But no, it was just that no one.
► 00:04:38
They've never had an episode where three people were voted out.
► 00:04:41
That was.
► 00:04:42
That sucks.
► 00:04:43
Three tribal councils.
► 00:04:45
Yeah.
► 00:04:45
Yeah.
► 00:04:46
That is a fundamental misunderstanding of what is interesting about that game.
► 00:04:49
It was fine.
► 00:04:50
It's an escalation in terms of, like, yeah, there have been episodes where two people have been voted out before.
► 00:04:55
Sure.
► 00:04:56
That's happened.
► 00:04:56
Yeah.
► 00:04:57
But it wasn't, like, it zigged when it could have zagged.
► 00:05:01
And I think that that was the problem.
► 00:05:04
Like, something really upsetting should have been the twist that will change the game.
► 00:05:08
Yeah.
► 00:05:08
I mean, you can't say Blood Moon without me, without the either straight up werewolf or, like, oh, Blood, sanguination.
► 00:05:18
You're going to take blood from something.
► 00:05:20
I think the idea that they wanted you to feel is like the sacrifice of more players is just a little bit of a challenge.
► 00:05:28
I would have accepted like a sacrifice.
► 00:05:30
Like, you got to go put your hand in some deer blood and like put it on your forehead or some shit like that.
► 00:05:34
I don't know.
► 00:05:35
That's not a challenge.
Sacrifice in Clown Baseball
00:04:54
► 00:05:36
With a box from the other side.
► 00:05:37
Obviously, that's not a challenge.
► 00:05:38
Yeah, absolutely.
► 00:05:39
Get the Gom Jabbar out there.
► 00:05:41
Right, frozen.
► 00:05:41
Shut it, you know?
► 00:05:44
Here's the blood moon.
► 00:05:46
God, that'd be good.
► 00:05:47
That would be good.
► 00:05:48
Anyway, it's fine.
► 00:05:49
I'm not.
► 00:05:50
I got to stop talking about Survivor, and I swear I will, but what's your bright spot?
► 00:05:54
My bright spot is a little abstract.
► 00:05:57
I haven't been able to watch more than like a few innings of a baseball game this year.
► 00:06:01
Oh, no.
► 00:06:02
My beloved Cubs are doing okay.
► 00:06:06
They're not as good as they should be, but there's only been a week of the season.
► 00:06:10
My bright spot, though, is that I'm still following up with all the box scores.
► 00:06:13
I'm following the league, you know?
► 00:06:17
And I felt a direct connection to that.
► 00:06:20
Guy in the 1920s reading his newspaper going over the scores, chomping on a cigar, looking at the zeros and ones.
► 00:06:27
100%.
► 00:06:28
No, totally.
► 00:06:29
Like there's a stock ticker or some shit on that thing.
► 00:06:31
And it's just like, for a brief moment, I was like, a hundred years is no time at all.
► 00:06:36
Yeah.
► 00:06:37
You know, it felt cool.
► 00:06:38
Early, before we started the show, we were talking a little bit and we talked a bit about basketball and how I used to love basketball.
► 00:06:45
And I have vivid memories of that, like looking at the box scores and And reading that, like, absolutely having to figure out, like, okay, this line is this, like, yep, that's exciting stuff.
► 00:06:56
And then I love a box score, just visualizing, like, oh, this was the back and forth of the game.
► 00:07:02
And yeah, there's just something about that.
► 00:07:04
Like, there was a time where you had to imagine, you could not watch a replay, you couldn't watch a YouTube clip, there were no highlights, you just had to see that the box score had six hits versus four hits and two errors, and you had to imagine what those errors looked like.
► 00:07:22
Like, yeah, you know what the problem with an error in baseball is.
► 00:07:25
What's that?
► 00:07:26
It's never as silly as you want it to be.
► 00:07:28
It's not, there are some silly errors, but almost never.
► 00:07:31
Almost, usually, some weird formal thing, yeah.
► 00:07:33
You know, it doesn't, it doesn't, no one's tripping around, yeah, or just a regular mistake, you know, like, oh, I just sailed the ball, I threw it a little too high, so yeah, that's an error.
► 00:07:44
It was like, yeah, but that's not a fun, wacky error, no, no, like someone just like slipping and going, going head over.
► 00:07:52
So, you're saying that we should institute more banana peels on the diamond?
► 00:07:58
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
► 00:07:59
All right.
► 00:08:00
I will take that proposal under consideration.
► 00:08:02
And now I've started thinking could you do a Harlem Globetrotters of baseball?
► 00:08:08
They have one.
► 00:08:08
What?
► 00:08:08
It's called the Savannah Bananas.
► 00:08:11
What?
► 00:08:12
What do they do?
► 00:08:13
They're just a pure clown show.
► 00:08:15
Like, they're fantastic.
► 00:08:16
They're very good ball players, but they have sing alongs.
► 00:08:20
They do crowd stuff.
► 00:08:22
They have these clips.
► 00:08:24
Everybody does dances.
► 00:08:25
Sometimes during the pitch, They'll have a camera set up.
► 00:08:30
So the umpire, the catcher, the batter, the pitcher, and the center fielder and the second base and the shortstop all just start dancing in like what?
► 00:08:42
Synchronized.
► 00:08:43
They're all doing the same motions for like 30 seconds and then they throw the pitch and they just move on with the.
► 00:08:48
It's a whole thing.
► 00:08:50
How do they fake the hits and stuff though?
► 00:08:53
They don't fake them.
► 00:08:53
They're just very good ballplayers.
► 00:08:55
Uh huh.
► 00:08:55
Yeah.
► 00:08:56
They just know exactly where they're going.
► 00:08:57
No, I mean, it's.
► 00:08:58
But if you're good at baseball and everybody's kind of working as a team, you're going to not be good all the time.
► 00:09:05
But there's a lot of stuff that you can control if you and the defense are both kind of on the same team in a sort of way.
► 00:09:11
If the pitcher isn't trying to get one past you, they can put it where you need it to be to hit it where you.
► 00:09:17
Right.
► 00:09:17
But sometimes it's the time for the pitcher to show off.
► 00:09:20
It's a little bit like an all star game.
► 00:09:22
Sometimes the pitcher goes, ah, I'm going to strike you out.
► 00:09:25
Or sometimes the hitter's like, ah, I'm going to hit a home run.
► 00:09:28
That kind of thing.
► 00:09:28
Do the Savannah Bananas have a Washington Generals?
► 00:09:32
They do.
► 00:09:34
There's a whole league.
► 00:09:36
And they kind of barnstorm.
► 00:09:38
A whole league?
► 00:09:39
There's like four teams, I think.
► 00:09:41
Something like that.
► 00:09:41
They've just expanded to like four teams Clown Baseball League?
► 00:09:44
Yeah, 100%.
► 00:09:45
They barnstorm.
► 00:09:46
They've filled out arenas.
► 00:09:47
They've filled out stadiums.
► 00:09:50
They'll show up.
► 00:09:51
They, yeah, they'll sell out 100,000 seats.
► 00:09:55
So hold on.
► 00:09:55
But if they have four teams, then are three of them the losers to the Bananas?
► 00:10:00
Or are two like, is there another bananas?
► 00:10:03
I do not specifically know how comedy leagues of baseball work in terms of season wide rankings.
► 00:10:12
I just know that the Savannah bananas started it as like a thing a while back and it's just grown.
► 00:10:18
It's gotten big.
► 00:10:20
It seems like there's so many more opportunities for things that aren't wildly unsafe in the context of basketball and clowning.
► 00:10:27
Yep.
► 00:10:28
But hey, you know, the sky's the limit.
The Barnstorming League
00:15:23
► 00:10:30
I'm glad.
► 00:10:30
I'm glad they're trying.
► 00:10:31
Yeah, it is fun.
► 00:10:33
It's fun for baseball because for the longest time, every single person who's ever picked up a bat is like, you got to do it the right way.
► 00:10:40
There's not rules.
► 00:10:42
And these guys are like, what if I did a backflip all the time?
► 00:10:46
Now, hockey seems like that would be tough with boys and stuff.
► 00:10:50
There have only been like three skaters who've ever done a backflip on skates, I think.
► 00:10:54
I think incorporating that in clown business could be trouble.
► 00:10:58
So, Jordan, today we have an episode to go over.
► 00:11:00
All right.
► 00:11:01
We're going to be talking about a little bit of something.
► 00:11:03
And before we do that, let's take a moment to say hello to some new wonks.
► 00:11:07
Oh, that's a great idea.
► 00:11:08
So, first, shout out to Amanda, Mary Alice, Stuart, and all the good people in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
► 00:11:13
Keep fighting the good fight.
► 00:11:14
From Cullen, thank you so much.

I'm a policy wonk.
► 00:11:17

► 00:11:18

► 00:11:19
Next, happy January birthday to Nick, my weekly bright spot and favorite cat, Dad.
► 00:11:23
Love, Jillian.
► 00:11:24
Thank you so much.
► 00:11:25
You're now a policy wonk.
► 00:11:26
I'm a policy wonk.
► 00:11:27
Thank you very much.
► 00:11:28
Thank you.
► 00:11:28
And put on your casual boots and slather up a ketchup sandwich, because Because, snip, snip, it's the lobster man, and I'm coming for your green walls and 5,000 hats.
► 00:11:37
Thank you so much.
► 00:11:37
You're now a policy wonk.
► 00:11:38
I'm a policy wonk.
► 00:11:40
Thank you very much.
► 00:11:40
Thank you.
► 00:11:41
And we got a technocrat in the next one.
► 00:11:43
So, thank you so much to Augustine, Illinois.
► 00:11:45
You are now a technocrat.
► 00:11:47
I'm a policy wonk.
► 00:11:48
For star, don't honk your mother and tell her you're brilliant.

► 00:12:07
Thank you very much.
► 00:12:08
So, Jordan, I'm back from the road and all that.
► 00:12:12
We're adjusting back into normal.
► 00:12:15
There's a lot of stuff going on over at InfoWars, and we're going to get into some of that stuff on Monday.
► 00:12:20
Yeah.
► 00:12:20
Today, I wanted to ruminate on something.
► 00:12:24
And before, or just as a little bit of an introduction, I'm going to play you this clip of Alex from 2005.
► 00:12:30
All right.
► 00:12:31
Yeah, this is about survival.
► 00:12:33
One thing holding us back is so many so called alternative truth leaders or patriots are just complete psychopathic power trip individuals.
► 00:12:40
I mean, you see them at public events, they get off on crowds, they get off on being told how great they are.
► 00:12:46
And I think there's something wrong with somebody that really gets off on that and likes that.
► 00:12:50
What they're hungry for.
► 00:12:51
That's what they're looking for.
► 00:12:52
We're not doing that, folks.
► 00:12:53
We are truly disgusted by what's happening.
► 00:12:56
So, on Wednesday night, Trump asked all the major networks to let him break into their normal programming to address the country, and it was one of the most bleak pictures I've seen in a very long time.
► 00:13:07
For one thing, it interrupted Survivor, and I finally kind of made peace with the new season, so it was a bit of a setback for me.
► 00:13:13
Right, right, right.
► 00:13:14
That's why it ended up being a bright spot again.
► 00:13:16
Woof, yeah.
► 00:13:17
But it was also disgusting.
► 00:13:19
I feel like I keep getting tricked.
► 00:13:21
By these Trump speeches, where there's some buzz and anticipation around it, where everyone convinces themselves that he's going to say something important and then it just falls flat.
► 00:13:29
He didn't say anything that mattered.
► 00:13:31
There was no clarity that was provided about the war in Iran.
► 00:13:34
I feel like I know less after watching him talk because he's such an obvious liar that hearing him talk just gives you new things to doubt.
► 00:13:42
Past leaders were orators who gave speeches that calmed a country when times were tense, and it's remarkable how Trump is really the opposite.
► 00:13:49
Everything could be going well, and hearing him speak would make me feel off.
► 00:13:54
But the reason that I'm saying that it was disgusting was because a lot of the speech was dedicated to talking about how he's killed so many people in Iran.
► 00:14:01
A lot of it centered around bragging about killing Iranian government officials, but the reality is what he actually was talking about involves a ton of civilian death.
► 00:14:11
And seeing him talk about it in such a brazen, flippant way, it felt like it trivialized life itself.
► 00:14:18
I was feeling really put off, and as I explored that feeling, it dawned on me that this type of shit isn't as uncommon as how it made me feel.
► 00:14:26
Bush bragged about his acts of war back when he was president.
► 00:14:29
Hillary Clinton famously said, We came, we saw, he died, about the Obama administration's attacks on Libya.
► 00:14:36
My feeling came from a place where I like to imagine that our administration, like the leaders, are generally circumspect about killing and talking about our wars as if they didn't actually want to do them.
► 00:14:47
I like to imagine that our leaders dislike the idea of international conflicts, but, you know, it's inevitable and some people are going to get killed.
► 00:14:55
But Trump doesn't let you think that.
► 00:14:57
It's super clear that he's proud of dropping bombs and he loves threatening to drop more.
► 00:15:02
Like, he was talking about how if Iran doesn't do what he wants, he's going to take them back to the Stone Age.
► 00:15:08
Yeah.
► 00:15:09
Like, it's fucked up.
► 00:15:10
Yeah.
► 00:15:11
Obviously, I don't mean to say here that both sides are equally bad or anything like that.
► 00:15:16
Just that this overt bloodlust that Trump was displaying wasn't as unfamiliar as my revulsion wanted it to be.
► 00:15:22
Yeah.
► 00:15:23
So these thoughts sent me into a contemplative depression, and I could barely enjoy the rest of Survivor when he came back on after Trump's speech.
► 00:15:32
So, in Survivor, there are a number of traditional paths to victory.
► 00:15:35
And one of the most time tested is becoming friends with the worst, least charismatic person out there and trying to get to the end with them.
► 00:15:43
If you vote together, that doubles your influence.
► 00:15:46
And if you make it to the jury, you make it to the point where they're deciding the game, no one's going to vote for that other person because they're the loser.
► 00:15:53
Right, right.
► 00:15:54
You only have to be faster than the other person running against you.
► 00:15:56
Exactly.
► 00:15:57
That's a great strategy.
► 00:15:58
Yeah.
► 00:15:58
That strategy has fallen out of favor in modern times because savvy players can see it developing fairly early and they nip it in the bud.
► 00:16:07
Now, in season 50, there's no real losers that could just fit into that role.
► 00:16:12
Some people are more liked than others, but there's no real mopes.
► 00:16:16
No one's just around as someone who's going to get played because they're stupid.
► 00:16:22
Right.
► 00:16:23
It's just not going to happen.
► 00:16:24
Right.
► 00:16:24
So, as I was thinking about this and Survivor, it made me think about a recent thing that Trump said in a speech that he gave at the Future Investment Initiative.
► 00:16:36
So, Mr. President, what is the one leadership trait?
► 00:16:41
The world is missing right now.
► 00:16:43
What is missing in leadership?
► 00:16:44
Well, it's winning.
► 00:16:46
You've got to win.
► 00:16:46
You know, I've watched a lot of people, leaders, great leaders.
► 00:16:51
And, you know, the one thing about sports is you break it down into, you know, a two hour period, something nice.
► 00:16:57
You don't have to wait a lifetime to find out if somebody is a winner or a loser.
► 00:17:00
You've got a lot of losers, mostly losers, fortunately.
► 00:17:03
It's a good thing to have a lot of losers.
► 00:17:05
I always like to hang around with losers, actually, because it makes me feel better.
► 00:17:09
Oh, my God.
► 00:17:10
I hate guys that are very, very successful, and you have to listen to their success stories.
► 00:17:15
I like people that like to listen to my success.
► 00:17:19
But I find, and I found this, and I'm only kidding.
► 00:17:24
I want to say that sort of.
► 00:17:26
I'm only kidding.
► 00:17:27
But I'm not.
► 00:17:28
So Trump has said a lot of crazy shit in the past few weeks, and a lot of it we really haven't touched on.
► 00:17:34
But this was something that I felt needed its own moment because it directly intersects with Alex in a devastating way.
► 00:17:41
Prior to teaming up with Trump, Alex was able to maintain his support for capitalism by insisting that there was good capitalism and bad capitalism, which was secretly just communism wearing a wig.
► 00:17:52
The good capitalism was the real capitalism that wanted everyone to succeed because a rising tide lifts all boats.
► 00:17:59
And the bad capitalism was the kind that was predicated on a smaller group of people succeeding and placing themselves apart from the rest of us.
► 00:18:08
But then Trump came along, and Alex had a serious problem on his hands.
► 00:18:13
Trump represented All of the characteristics of bad capitalism in the way that Alex preached it.
► 00:18:18
Trump put his name on all of his buildings.
► 00:18:20
He lived a lifestyle that flaunted his affluence in people's faces.
► 00:18:24
And he had a long running TV show where his catchphrase was, You're fired.
► 00:18:27
Yeah.
► 00:18:28
He was the avatar of wealth exclusion.
► 00:18:31
He was super rich and he wanted to make sure you knew it.
► 00:18:34
And it could, he could either welcome you into wealth if you pleased him or fire you if he didn't like what you were up to.
► 00:18:42
Yeah.
► 00:18:43
As we've talked about in the past, Alex even said on his show that.
► 00:18:46
Trump was a mob front man whose wealth was a complete facade.
► 00:18:50
He understood what Trump represented and he took on the job of making that asshole palatable to his audience.
► 00:18:56
Yep.
► 00:18:57
And when he was in that state, that need, one of the only things Alex could rely on in order to try and present this image of Trump is like, yeah, sure, sure.
► 00:19:10
He's a billionaire guy.
► 00:19:11
Yeah, sure, sure, sure.
► 00:19:12
But he's not like those other guys.
► 00:19:14
He loves to hang out with successful people.
► 00:19:17
Right.
► 00:19:17
Right.
► 00:19:18
The globalist will walk past a tenement slum building or whatever and be like, Oh, I'm so much better than them.
► 00:19:25
Not Trump.
► 00:19:26
Trump is a man of the people.
► 00:19:29
And competition.
► 00:19:30
He loves it.
► 00:19:31
He wants people to be better than him.
► 00:19:32
Everybody should be successful.
► 00:19:34
So when you have him giving a speech and he's saying this stuff, it's just, it's such a shocking, a wrecking ball to Alex's image of this.
► 00:19:46
Of course he loves hanging out with losers.
► 00:19:48
Yeah.
► 00:19:49
It's so blunt.
► 00:19:51
They don't threaten his superiority.
► 00:19:54
Yes.
► 00:19:54
That's pretty much the concept.
► 00:19:56
Yes.
► 00:19:57
It is.
► 00:19:58
I am amazed.
► 00:20:00
Every time I feel.
► 00:20:02
Because I've successfully managed to avoid 99.998% of all the things that he said in the past couple of years.
► 00:20:09
But every time I hear one thing, one thing, I'm like, it would be so easy to 25th Amendment this motherfucker.
► 00:20:17
There's no words that aren't crazier than that.
► 00:20:20
We have an amendment.
► 00:20:21
Specifically to the Constitution, that's like, hey, crazy pants like this guy, get him out!
► 00:20:25
Right.
► 00:20:26
It's not complicated.
► 00:20:27
No, and I think that there's a certain amount of whimsy and amusement they can have.
► 00:20:32
Like, I like to hang out with losers because they make me feel good.
► 00:20:34
I guess.
► 00:20:35
Sure.
► 00:20:37
But he broke into network coverage primetime, Wednesday night, in order to say, hey, what I'm doing in Iran's great.
► 00:20:48
We killed a ton of people.
► 00:20:50
Yep.
► 00:20:50
Gonna flatten the fucking country.
► 00:20:51
Yep.
► 00:20:52
And also, hey, it'll be done soon.
► 00:20:55
Whatever.
► 00:20:56
It's not as bad as other wars.
► 00:20:57
Those went on really long.
► 00:21:00
He gave no definite information.
► 00:21:02
That, to me, I think is much more 25th-able.
► 00:21:07
I would say: here's a question that I have.
► 00:21:10
If you are.
► 00:21:12
Okay, right.
► 00:21:15
Sure, Bush lied us into war and all of the lies and stuff there were lies, right?
► 00:21:22
But still, Congress did all the stuff and they wrote all the laws and they were like, yeah, you go fucking murder those people left and right.
► 00:21:28
It's legal for you to do that.
► 00:21:30
As far as I am aware, it is illegal for Trump to do this stuff, right?
► 00:21:35
Like, it is actually illegal.
► 00:21:37
That's my understanding.
► 00:21:38
Right, right, right.
► 00:21:39
So, if you are illegally murdering people, we would just call that regular murder, right?
► 00:21:46
Yeah.
► 00:21:46
I mean, it's damn close.
► 00:21:49
Right.
► 00:21:49
I don't think there's any other way to describe the act of going to somebody's house and then killing them without them knowing that they were going to die as anything but a murder.
► 00:22:00
Yeah.
► 00:22:00
Right?
► 00:22:01
Yeah.
► 00:22:01
And apparently, you know, it's the grand version of I could kill someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it.
► 00:22:09
Yeah.
► 00:22:10
You can drop bombs on people, and everyone gets it.
► 00:22:13
It's illegal.
► 00:22:14
So if you murder one guy, that's bad.
► 00:22:16
Sure.
► 00:22:16
We all accept that that's bad.
► 00:22:18
Yeah.
► 00:22:18
If you murder like 20 guys, everybody's like, you're a serial killer and you must be stopped.
► 00:22:23
And let's make a documentary about how we didn't stop you.
► 00:22:26
Right.
► 00:22:27
This seems like too many murders.
► 00:22:29
It does.
► 00:22:30
It does.
► 00:22:30
And I think it's going to look very insane in hindsight.
► 00:22:35
I think that everyone's behavior is going to be, maybe not everybody, but almost everybody's behavior is going to be looked at as like, what the fuck was going on?
► 00:22:44
And I'm sure we'll all take comfort in some like, hey, look, COVID was crazy.
► 00:22:48
Everyone.
► 00:22:49
Everyone kind of went a little silly after COVID.
► 00:22:51
Sure, sure, sure.
► 00:22:52
You can't expect people to behave rationally after they've been trapped inside.
► 00:22:55
I'm sure that will give a pass to a lot of this.
► 00:22:58
Sure.
► 00:22:59
But yeah, it's fundamentally insane.
► 00:23:02
Yeah.
► 00:23:02
And Trump was, when he killed Ayatollah and launched that attack, he did the Bane thing of like, Iranians, rise up and take your country.
► 00:23:15
That is exactly what he did.
► 00:23:16
And in the speech that he gave last night, it was so clear that he was like, hey, look, we don't even need the Straits of Hormuz.
► 00:23:23
Yep.
► 00:23:24
All you people who want it, go and take it.
► 00:23:26
I don't know.
► 00:23:27
We did the hard part.
► 00:23:28
We killed a bunch of people.
► 00:23:29
You guys just go in and take that straight.
► 00:23:33
Just do it.
► 00:23:34
Yeah.
► 00:23:34
And there's a part of me that feels like an honest person would say, hey, I did.
► 00:23:44
We can't finish this.
► 00:23:45
Yeah.
► 00:23:46
We started something that we can't finish.
► 00:23:48
We realize, hey, but instead, it's like trying to make it someone else's problem.
► 00:23:54
You finish the job.
► 00:23:55
I mean, it seems crazy to me how.
► 00:23:58
How fairly simple it would be, and how, and I presume the reason that it's not being done is because people are worried about either a revolution or a military coup, right?
► 00:24:09
That has to be the only reason.
► 00:24:11
But it seems fairly obvious that if like five senators were like, hey, let's just not do this anymore, Trump's gone, sorry, Iran, we're going to help you rebuild some shit, we fucked up.
► 00:24:23
Everybody would be fine.
► 00:24:25
Hmm.
► 00:24:26
Hmm.
► 00:24:27
Yeah, I don't know.
► 00:24:30
I don't know.
► 00:24:31
Right.
► 00:24:31
You have to be afraid that there's a military coup or that the right wing is going to overthrow the government because otherwise there's no reason not to do it.
► 00:24:40
It seems to me almost impossible to figure out what the motivations are for things not radically changing.
► 00:24:49
Yeah.
► 00:24:49
The status quo not radically changing.
► 00:24:51
It is, I mean, I don't know how to describe it.
► 00:24:54
I think that the two possibilities that you're talking about, like a military coup or revolution, Sure, I could see those as being fears.
► 00:25:02
There's probably other options that I don't understand or know about, but there's something, there has to be some reason that this isn't stopping.
► 00:25:12
We have mechanisms for this situation.
► 00:25:17
It has been planned out.
► 00:25:18
Hey, guys, what if somebody goes crazy on the space shuttle?
► 00:25:22
Tie them up.
► 00:25:23
Don't let them go around.
► 00:25:24
Don't give them the control to the spaceship.
► 00:25:28
Damn.
► 00:25:29
So I was thinking.
► 00:25:31
Thinking about this thing that Trump said, yeah, of like, and hang out with losers because it makes him feel good.
► 00:25:37
Yep.
► 00:25:38
Jesus Christ.
► 00:25:39
So I just want to play a couple of clips of Alex.
► 00:25:41
Oh, fuck me.
► 00:25:43
From the past, like in Trump promoting times.
► 00:25:46
Yeah, okay.
► 00:25:47
We can really just reflect on.
► 00:25:48
All right.
► 00:25:49
I'll tell you a secret for people I know that know Trump and researching.
Believing Trump's Lies
00:11:39
► 00:25:54
He's extremely OCD, he's basically autistic, and he doesn't like not seeing people prosperous.
► 00:26:03
He doesn't get off on seeing poor people.
► 00:26:08
He doesn't like poverty.
► 00:26:14
Trump is a real man.
► 00:26:16
I mean, they say Trump's crazy.
► 00:26:18
He's completely crazy.
► 00:26:20
And that he just is so positive.
► 00:26:26
And that's why anybody that's actually been around Trump picks that up and gets it.
► 00:26:30
And so I guess he is crazy.
► 00:26:33
Because, you know, in a world of psychos and control freaks and folks that want to screw people over and think if I'm going to win, you got to lose.
► 00:26:39
To run into somebody like Trump that just wants to totally build the pie and expand everything, he's nuts.
► 00:26:44
It's true.
► 00:26:47
Yeah.
► 00:26:48
He just doesn't like poverty.
► 00:26:48
He wants you to be rich because he doesn't like poverty.
► 00:26:51
Makes sense.
► 00:26:53
I do.
► 00:26:53
Here's what I'll say about something like that, right?
► 00:26:56
I will say that I don't really blame Alex for it, right?
► 00:27:00
That's just a regular old lie.
► 00:27:03
If you believe that, if you are like, well, even though I know everything about rich people in the United States has always been exactly one thing, Maybe this time it won't be that thing.
► 00:27:15
I kind of think it's your fault now.
► 00:27:16
I think we're into the range of like, absolutely, he's lying.
► 00:27:20
But also, come on, buddy.
► 00:27:22
You should know that you can't actually eat a mushroom and grow six feet taller like Super Mario.
► 00:27:27
Well, that's what they say.
► 00:27:30
See, that's what I'm saying.
► 00:27:31
Alex said that I could.
► 00:27:34
I think that there's a subtle thing that's going on here that's behind the lie, which we might be able to interrogate a little bit further.
► 00:27:43
But yeah, if you look back at this, and this is like 2018, and yeah, if he believed that, this is embarrassing.
► 00:27:51
Yeah, exactly.
► 00:27:52
But I don't think that he believed it.
► 00:27:54
I think he believed it would work.
► 00:27:56
I think he believed in the effectiveness of this, and maybe he was able to get himself, he worked himself into a shoot a little bit, as they say in wrestling.
► 00:28:06
But yeah, on paper, I don't think he believed that stuff.
► 00:28:10
I mean, you know, people can, what is it?
► 00:28:12
People love the truth.
► 00:28:13
If you can fake that, you got it made?
► 00:28:15
Something like that?
► 00:28:16
So here's another clip of Alex talking about Trump loving everybody succeeding.
► 00:28:22
Okay.
► 00:28:24
They call him 45.
► 00:28:30
You want to stop tyranny?
► 00:28:31
Well, so does he.
► 00:28:33
Live from the Infowars.com studios, it's Alex Jones.
► 00:28:38
Our species makes it a couple hundred years from now when we've got giant off world colonies, you name it, the face of the free market.
► 00:28:46
Humanity's gone to the next level.
► 00:28:48
We're living to be 500 years old.
► 00:28:51
We want to look back and say, Old 45, he delivered.
► 00:28:58
Donald Trump, Old 45.
► 00:29:01
Trump wants that name just like perfectly.
► 00:29:04
He needs to be known as Old 45.
► 00:29:07
There's two different philosophies.
► 00:29:11
The parasites don't want you free and empowered because they're scum and don't want to compete.
► 00:29:18
But then there's those that want renaissance and want to see everybody flourish and who get off on prosperity and success.
► 00:29:24
Hey, your wife's super beautiful.
► 00:29:26
Wow, you can play great music.
► 00:29:27
Wow, you're amazing.
► 00:29:28
You're a great writer.
► 00:29:28
I don't hate you because of that.
► 00:29:30
I admire you.
► 00:29:30
You add to the richness of our humanity.
► 00:29:32
That's why they hate Trump.
► 00:29:34
Trump, he's not out to get you.
► 00:29:37
He wants you to succeed.
► 00:29:38
He's not out to, Trump, he's not out to get you.
► 00:29:41
Then Trump from his own mouth.
► 00:29:42
I love hanging out with losers because they make me feel good.
► 00:29:46
Because I can comparatively feel like I'm a winner.
► 00:29:48
Yeah.
► 00:29:50
I think that, okay, so there's two things that are going on here.
► 00:29:53
Yeah.
► 00:29:54
One is that Alex has just created this image of what the globalists are, which is that they get off on the idea that you're poor and that they're better than you.
► 00:30:04
Right.
► 00:30:04
And all Alex has done is imagine that Trump is the opposite.
► 00:30:07
Yep.
► 00:30:07
So he's created a fictitious character to project onto Trump that is just the opposite of what his imaginary villains are.
► 00:30:15
Yeah.
► 00:30:15
So that's going on.
► 00:30:16
Yep.
► 00:30:17
But Trump allows it.
► 00:30:18
And Trump, he makes it possible because he does hate poverty.
► 00:30:23
Yep.
► 00:30:23
He really does.
► 00:30:25
It's just not in a way that he wants to help you escape it.
► 00:30:29
Absolutely not.
► 00:30:30
He hates poverty and the way that he wants to chase unhoused people off the street.
► 00:30:37
Yeah.
► 00:30:37
He wants to make it harder for you to exist and survive.
► 00:30:41
Yeah.
► 00:30:41
I imagine exterminating the poor is also hating poorness in its own way.
► 00:30:49
You know, like I hate the caste system, but only because I want to destroy all castes other than my own is not quite the same thing.
► 00:30:56
Right.
► 00:30:56
Yeah.
► 00:30:57
But now.
► 00:30:58
Here is the other twist.
► 00:31:01
Trump likes poor people existing.
► 00:31:04
Right.
► 00:31:05
He likes that because it makes him feel rich.
► 00:31:09
How could you be rich if there were not poor?
► 00:31:11
Exactly.
► 00:31:12
That is the conundrum.
► 00:31:13
He likes to hang out with losers because they make him feel better.
► 00:31:16
He likes the existence of destitute people struggling to get by because that makes his life luxurious.
► 00:31:22
Yeah.
► 00:31:22
Also, he likes sad, pathetic radio hosts who have to lie about how he's not the things that he is.
► 00:31:31
Yeah.
► 00:31:31
Because he gets to be the things that he is while they have to lie about it.
► 00:31:34
Right.
► 00:31:35
That's sad.
► 00:31:36
It is.
► 00:31:36
Yeah.
► 00:31:36
I would want to hang out with those people, they would make me feel real cool.
► 00:31:40
I would be like, man, at least I'm not that guy.
► 00:31:44
Yeah, there's a certain amount of this that is, you know, you look at it and be like, how could anybody have bought that?
► 00:31:54
Yeah.
► 00:31:55
Like, how could anyone have bought this notion of Trump as populist?
► 00:31:59
Yeah.
► 00:32:00
As like, he wants you to do better because then the free market will be thriving and we'll all live to 500 and go to space and we'll all remember old 45.
► 00:32:10
Like, who, like, I get Alex is a liar.
► 00:32:15
And it's a lie.
► 00:32:16
Yeah.
► 00:32:16
It's a lie that he's selling.
► 00:32:18
So it makes sense for him to be saying it.
► 00:32:20
Right.
► 00:32:20
The idea that anybody could have bought into this is fucking insane.
► 00:32:25
You know, like, I think that, okay.
► 00:32:29
Yeah.
► 00:32:31
Believing that Obama would save the world and bring peace to the extent that anybody believed that, right?
► 00:32:38
That was that's insane, right?
► 00:32:39
The Nobel Prize committee, but believing that he would do a decent job as president, not very reasonable, very rational.
► 00:32:46
He's got a track record, we can follow up on his legislation.
► 00:32:49
He's probably going to be the same guy.
► 00:32:51
Not great, not the worst.
► 00:32:53
Yeah, yeah, believing that Trump would be a decent president is insane, it is truly insane.
► 00:32:58
And believing that Trump would bring about space colonies and this kind of shit.
► 00:33:04
Is equally insane.
► 00:33:05
Yeah.
► 00:33:05
They are the same.
► 00:33:06
Yeah.
► 00:33:08
It would make the only people who voted right based upon the current situation are the people who are like, I think Trump is going to destroy the world.
► 00:33:17
Like accelerationists.
► 00:33:18
Yeah, they nailed it.
► 00:33:20
They got it right.
► 00:33:21
Yeah, I remember a cab driver I had who was expressing that.
► 00:33:24
And I was like, well, I guess I can't argue with you.
► 00:33:27
I mean, if you believe that's going to happen and you want it to happen, I suppose that is.
► 00:33:31
He brought up supporting Trump, and I smelled weed in the car.
► 00:33:35
I was like, something's not right here.
► 00:33:36
And then he explained that, like, yeah, I think that he's the guy who's going to bring this shit down the fastest.
► 00:33:41
I was like, well,.
► 00:33:43
I can't disagree with it.
► 00:33:45
I think that that's not a great thing to pursue.
► 00:33:47
Maybe.
► 00:33:48
Right, right, right.
► 00:33:49
Dangerous, certainly, but I can't agree with your premises.
► 00:33:52
Sometimes it's an argument I don't want to have, not an argument that I can make.
► 00:33:58
So I just think there are some special moments sometimes when Trump is talking and the existence of him as a person and who he really is fundamentally punctures an illusion that Alex has worked a decade to build up and is crumbling right in front of his face.
► 00:34:15
Yeah.
► 00:34:16
And I think that the extent that anybody, no one's going to give Alex a pass.
► 00:34:23
And no one's going to be like, oh, great, you're against the Iran war now.
► 00:34:27
Welcome to the resistance, Alex Jones.
► 00:34:31
No one's going to do that.
► 00:34:32
But other figures are going to have a little bit more malleability.
► 00:34:36
They're going to have a little bit more fluidity.
► 00:34:39
And we have to not let that happen.
► 00:34:41
Nope.
► 00:34:43
We have to be mindful and vigilant of, like, This is the baggage that you will carry for the rest of your time.
► 00:34:53
You can't be credible.
► 00:34:54
Yeah.
► 00:34:55
I mean, if we're just going to do one to one Nuremberg trials, Rubio's going up too, my man.
► 00:35:03
Sorry, buddy.
► 00:35:05
Sure.
► 00:35:05
You know, like there is a real one to one comparison between things people are doing.
► 00:35:11
Like, I get that this feels like Iran, but I bet Poland felt like Poland.
► 00:35:17
You know, like this is not the end.
► 00:35:20
We're not done.
► 00:35:21
So.
► 00:35:22
Yeah, yeah.
► 00:35:26
And there's, you know, there is a feeling that I have that is, ah, shit, it's fucking insane that we've gotten to this point.
► 00:35:34
Yeah.
► 00:35:35
But the gift of the present and the gift of being in the time that is current is that you have a certain amount of agency.
► 00:35:44
Sure.
► 00:35:44
So whatever comes down the line isn't inevitable.
► 00:35:48
There is, I don't know what to do and I don't know what anybody can do.
► 00:35:52
So don't let me sit here and tell you, like, what.
► 00:35:55
You should be doing, or what anybody should.
► 00:35:58
We do live in a time where that doesn't have to happen.
► 00:36:01
The next steps don't have to happen.
► 00:36:03
Yeah.
► 00:36:04
But, yeah, you know, I was just thinking, I don't know if this is meaningful at all, but I was just thinking about like just the timing of things and where we are when we are when things happen.
► 00:36:18
And it's like, I don't think we would be where we are if Biden hadn't been defending the Palestinian genocide.
► 00:36:26
Probably not.
► 00:36:27
You know, like maybe we'd be in the Palestinian genocide.
► 00:36:31
Right now it would be happening.
► 00:36:33
Do you know what I mean?
► 00:36:34
And it's like, it is a question of, am I doing what I should be doing?
► 00:36:39
You don't know the result of what you're going to be doing.
► 00:36:42
So you can't make a real smart choice of, like, well, I know this is going to happen.
► 00:36:47
You can make as informed a decision as you can.
► 00:36:50
And you have to believe that you're doing what you think is right, I guess.
► 00:36:55
Yeah.
► 00:36:57
Yeah.
► 00:36:58
And.
► 00:37:02
I don't, it's a bad vibe.
► 00:37:07
It's rough.
► 00:37:08
It's rough out there.
► 00:37:09
Yeah.
► 00:37:10
So we've come to the end of this little mini episode.
► 00:37:14
And I hope you all enjoy this little taste of Trump loving losers and Alex.
► 00:37:21
A little amuse boosh.
► 00:37:23
Sure.
► 00:37:23
For what's going to be a more in depth Monday, I imagine.
► 00:37:27
Yep.
► 00:37:27
Yeah.
► 00:37:28
We're going to steamroll right through Alex having a crisis.
► 00:37:32
Oh, boy.
