the Pozo Daily Brief. - All right, we are excited to welcome back here to Human Events for the first time on the Human Events Sunday special, Mr. Primetime99 himself, the host of Primetime with Alex Stein, It is, folks.
Unfortunately, I'm sorry we brought him back.
It's Alex Stein.
Alex, look, you know, we had a snafu.
We had like a much more important guest than you that was going to come on today, but then they bailed.
So, you know, we just kind of called you up to see if that was all right.
That's cool with you, though, right?
Of course, Jack.
You're going to bring me on.
You're going to buck break me immediately.
Oh, I'm the backup guest, but I'm primetime 99 Alex Stein.
I'm a, you know, a pimp on a blimp.
So listen, I'm a good guest.
Anybody else you would have got, you're not going to have the energy, the charisma, or the pizazz that I'm about to have.
You were actually the stunt double for Tariq Nasheed, though, weren't you?
I would have been the stunt double for Tariq Nasheed, but you know, it's funny you say that, Jack, because Actually, I started off a little bit about Alex Stein Cannon, the history of.
I actually started off as an extra in many productions on The Office, on multiple commercials, The Dark Knight, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
So it's funny, though, that you bring that up, the stunt doubles, because I actually did a couple of stunts where I played a football player on Spider-Man and I had to get my ass kicked.
So it's funny you say that because I've actually been a stunt double when I was like 23 years old.
That's hilarious.
I'm actually in I've got two, I've got two of those actually, um, or technically three, I suppose.
Um, so I was, I did BG on as an extra on, um, what was that show?
Veep with, um, Julie Louis Dreyfus.
So if you, did they film that in DC?
Wait, wait, real quick.
Did they film that in DC?
Oh wow.
They did.
Yeah, they did a design.
So, well, of course, cause you need like the DC area stuff.
And so if you remember the episode, but funny enough, the episode I was in was not the one that's in DC.
I'm in the episode.
Where they're going to visit, it's like this, it's kind of like a parody of Google and it's called Clovis.
And she's like running for president.
And I'm one of the security guards who's like walking around with, but I was like with everybody all day.
She's awesome by the way.
She's hilarious.
And, um, people don't realize how cool that is.
You get to have lunch with them.
You're on set with them.
I mean, obviously you're Louis on the totem pole.
But they were, yeah, they were really nice.
Actually.
They were really cool.
They were like, you know, no, no issues.
And then, um, then the other show that I did was House of Cards.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Kevin Spacey.
When Kevin Spacey was still there.
Were you in a scene with Kevin?
I was.
I was.
I am in a scene with Kevin.
Yeah.
So you, if you look, there's an episode there, so they needed military guys.
They're still in the military.
And we took leave and a bunch of us went and we, we showed up in uniform and they, but they gave us these like blue helmets or not blue helmets, like a beret and, So like we were doing this like deployment to some like fake Middle Eastern country, and then he's announcing it standing in front of us with Robin Wright right there, right?
You know, Jenny from from Forrest Gump, you know, and then Kevin Spacey is right there.
It's kind of weird, though, because he kept going to like the younger actors and asking if they could come run lines with him in the back.
Shut up!
No, no, no, no.
Had I seen anything like that, I would have been like, yo, what's going on?
But no, there wasn't even a sense.
Honestly, he was he was really nice, totally normal.
But, you know, like people like that, when there's a lot of people around, you know, not to, you know, do that kind of thing.
Yeah, well, in this industry secret, a lot of people don't realize this either, is that In Hollywood, and that's a place where there's like people that actually do extra work, they join the SAG and they get, you know, they get paid like, you know, 600 bucks a deal.
But this is the thing, if somebody with your haircut, like a short haircut, they could play military or cop, there's endless amounts of roles because there's constantly cop roles.
I'm saying that is like the best thing if you're a background or you have military experience, they'll hire you.
Oh, you're in the military?
Oh, we need you because there's every movie has a freaking military scene, you know?
So it's just funny how there's a lot of, and commercials, every commercial, even if it's a commercial for Doritos, you know, there's always a, we need a cop or military.
So it's just funny how you can actually like do that.
There's people that do that nine to five or whatever their weird hours are.
The one was security, the one was military.
And then the other, other, other, other one that I've done, and I get hit with this all the time, is I was in the movie, when I lived in China, I was in the movie Forbidden Kingdom with Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
Wait, wow, could you see yourself?
You're on camera?
No, and I'm like, oh, I have a line.
No!
Wow!
So this is the one.
So it's Michael Argerano.
And he's the kid from what was he in Sky High and some other stuff.
He was on he was he was on 24 and he got he got he got shot by who's he got shot by?
Who's what's the name of the actor who plays Kumar?
On, you know, from White Castle.
Oh, I know that guy.
Kumail.
No, no.
Who plays?
Kalpen.
Kalpen.
He got shot by Kalpen.
And so he was on with Mike Rogerano.
And then so they were looking for people back when I lived in Shanghai and I was doing my study abroad there.
And they were like, hey, we have this Jackie Chan thing and we're looking for Americans because we need to do this scene that's like in Boston.
And we're looking for like some like Boston toughs, you know, and like Southie or whatever.
And I went out, a bunch of us went out for it.
And so we sat and we watched the, we watched The Departed like three times the night before, like all the, just to get the accent all the way down.
Gotta be extra Boston, you know, you gotta go, you drive for a couple of hours in a car, drive, pack the car, haven't you had, you know, and, and I got it, you know, I got, I don't know.
So I'm in, I'm in a couple of scenes, you know, we beat up this kid and then one of the other guys in the gang shoots Jackie Chan.
And then, so right after he gets shot, I get my, I get my big star turn.
So they shoot Jackie Chan.
He's like the owner, owner of this pawn shop at the time.
And I just look at him and go, the hell man!
And they made me say it like that.
The hell man!
I'm like, that's not a Boston thing at all, but whatever.
So, and then like the kid gets transported to China.
He learns Kung Fu, Jackie Chan and Jet Li fight.
It's a whole thing.
And then he comes back and beats us all up and we run away.
Big fun.
Big fun, man.
I love Hollywood.
People don't know what it's like!
It's sad that Hollywood's dying because everybody should have an experience to go be an extra on a set and kind of see what it's like, because there's good vibes.
Even with your show, even with my production, people that like to create kind of gravitate towards each other.
So it's kind of a fun community when you're low on the totem pole.
Now, if you're like Tom Cruise fighting with some actor to be the lead guy, I'm sure that's totally different.
Just being on a movie set is fun, like on any capacity, even the caterers like it.
So I would encourage everybody to go out there.
If you're, you don't need advice from me, but go sign up to be an extra, just try it.
It is not necessarily a career choice, but you know, it got me though, man.
The, it was the downtime.
The downtime just got me so bad.
Hurry up and wait.
Yeah.
You just sit there and wait, but it's, that's kind of fun too.
So I used to do it.
So I used to get all the 18 to look younger roles when I first moved to California after I graduated college, because they don't have a lot of actors under 18.
And I looked young at the time.
And it would be fun for me because I would sit on set all day and I didn't have any friends in LA, so I'd meet everybody.
So it was almost like a social gathering.
So that's why I really liked it.
But enough about being fake actors, even though you're a real actor.
Tell me this.
So in the Jackie Chan movie, was it a SAG movie?
Since it was filmed in Shanghai, they probably didn't have any union requirements, did they?
That's right.
Yeah.
Right.
So it was actually interesting because it was like, Rob Minkoff was the director.
So like, At the highest level, it was people from Hollywood, right?
But then, like, most of the crew were people from, like, just locals, right?
Like, people from China or Hong Kong that flew up.
We filmed it in Hengdian, which is, like, just south of Shanghai, a couple hours by train.
And then there were just, like, random other people, like me or whoever, to come in.
And what's funny is because after we did it, you know, they were even saying, they were like, Hey, do you want to do like more?
Like we had dinner with Jackie Chan took us all to dinner and like his assistant.
And I think we're still like Facebook friends or something.
And, um, it was like, Hey, do you want to do some more movies there?
We need more people with like this level of experience, like 2006, 2007.
They need American actors in China, I'm guessing.
Right.
Exactly.
So they were like, they were like trying to recruit me into that.
And then I remember a couple of months later and I was still there and they said, I said, hey, Jackie's doing his next picture.
Do you want do you want you know, do you want to do something?
And I was like, what is it?
And they said they said, OK, we're doing a remake of Karate Kid.
And but it's going to be set.
And do you remember this?
And it's it's Jaden Smith plays the actor.
And it's Jackie Chan.
And they're in China.
And I remember I remember at the time being like, well, if this is China and it's Jackie Chan, then it's not karate.
Because Mr. Miyagi, that's Japanese.
That's not Chinese.
You should call it the Kung Fu Kid.
And they're like, no, but we want it to be, we want it to be a remake.
And I was like, well, then that's not the, but it's not Kung Fu.
It's, or it's not karate, it's Kung Fu.
So why are you doing that?
And I was like, nah, I don't want to do that.
And then it was like a total flop and he stopped doing it.
He stopped trying to do this.
I can't believe you're such a method actor that you even know the methodology of the martial arts, you know, wouldn't be the proper martial arts from that country.
I mean, come on.
Kung Fu, Karate.
Kung Fu is China.
Karate is Japan.
Taekwondo is Korea.
We're all idiots!
Jake, but everybody is an idiot.
Nobody even knows anything about anything.
They don't know the difference between China, Japan, Ukraine or Russia or Belarus.
Right, right, right.
It's all the same.
It's all the same.
It's all the same thing, man.
It's all the same.
And I was just like, I don't know, man, that seems weird.
People don't know the 50 states!
Jake, Jake, I'm sorry I'm here, I'm going on a rant, but people don't even know the 50 states, much less we think that they know about freaking Shanghai or China.
You know what I mean?
It's funny.
It's cause like, so like, cause like, you know, Tanya, you've met my wife, like she comes from, from Belarus.
And so she, when she came to the U S she was like, she's like, look, I mean, and she's lived all over the country, which is funny.
But she's like, look, you know, when you're growing up outside the country, outside the U.S., like, you basically know that, like, there's New York, there's L.A., there's Vegas.
And then, like, you kind of have like a general sense of Washington, D.C., but like, and that's it.
And there's a whole bunch of whatever in the middle.
Like, that's basically what people think.
Yeah, you forgot to mention Texas, because your wife loves country music, so she has to at least know the South.
Yes, this is true.
This is true.
And I told you that story in Austin last weekend.
So, yeah, she knows Texas, but I think Like outside the U.S., Texas, Nashville, it's just not it's not as well known.
That's all I'm trying to say.
I'm trying to the foreigner view of America before you get here is like they know Vegas.
They know.
Yeah, I mean, they know Cowboys, right?
They know like.
Cowboys and the cowboys is like the look like if you're an American, you're a cowboy.
That's all.
And people, you know, all the libs will be like, oh, it's actually based on the gaucho.
It comes from the shut up.
Like everybody knows that, like the Marlboro Man is an American, like the Marlboro Man is obviously an American.
There's no question about that.
And so it's it's literally the most American thing you can think of.
So, yeah, that's true.
I would say the cowboy like archetype is known more necessarily than Texas itself, which, of course, Texas is its own country.
So shout out to all the Texans.
Yeah, well, they want to make it its own country, but I don't know that that would be the end of the republic.
So I don't necessarily love the idea of Texas, but I don't like the federal government either.
I'm an anti-federalist, I guess you could call myself too, because I think they're so, you know, incompetent when it comes to people management systems.
I mean, do you really think the government is very competent?
I mean, when you see, you know, I mean, that's what I'm saying.
This is what pisses me off is this is a bipartisan thing.
Everybody knows the government sucks on the left and the right, but we're just constantly bickering about drag queen story time, which I'm part of that problem, sadly.
But it's like, why aren't we actually like talking about how we're being overtaxed or how all of our money is being allocated to foreign countries instead of, you know, on our own border where we're having crises like the, you know, like, you know, for Texas and Mexico is having the worst drug trafficking and sex trafficking crisis ever in We get no support, literally.
I think it's like the Department of Homeland Security.
They don't even give them, I don't think they raise their budget.
I mean, they're literally that strained.
It's just insane what's happening, but they don't want to spend any of that money here in America.
I don't get it.
No, because they don't want to spend money.
We talked about this recently on the show where it's like, it's like, we just want to be the globalist American empire, the GAE, and we're going to spend money overseas and we're going to stretch ourselves thin.
And we're going to, you know, we're going to, we're going to make sure that Those drag queen story hours, they're not just happening in the United States.
We need them in Botswana.
We need them in Bosnia.
We need them.
Every part of the world needs to be having the drag queen story hours.
And it's like, it's like, is this America's greatest export?
Libby Emmons from from Human Events and Post-Millennial, she actually said it's kind of like this very same people who will attack Christian colonization or like the Christianization of the world that accompany Western expansion.
Um, they're all doing the exact same thing with Drag Queen Story Hour and Wokeness and the LGBT agenda in general.
They're going and pushing that into like Africa and countries where you literally will get strung up in the middle of town for stuff like that.
And that they're pushing it in the same way because they view it as, as like a religion.
Jack, we have Admiral Rachel Levine.
That is mockery.
I mean, the fact that- The greatest admiral in American history.
Forget about all those World War II admirals.
Bull Halsey, Nimitz.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
What did they ever do?
What barriers did they ever break?
All they beat was Japan.
I mean, come on.
We just dropped the bombs anyway.
That has nothing to do with it.
They never put on pantyhose and a bra, so that's what it takes, dude.
You gotta- You have to be sick, though.
But why why has the military become so trans?
I mean, what the heck?
We have all these leaders.
They show that photo of like our military and China's military.
And you're like, is this drag queen story hour?
Is this like an actual meeting of, you know, government importance?
You can't even really tell what's real or fake when you see this.
Well, I think it's because it's because of what you just said.
Right.
So the government is incompetent, but they're competent when they want to be right.
And so the military, even though we have this like Hollywood view of the military, that's that's perpetuated through so many movies, every other Netflix movie is like the military or honestly, these days, it's more like FBI, CIA, like they're all these superheroes and they they're just saving us from the evil.
And we don't even know how much they do.
We should just always trust them no matter what.
You know, they're just looking out for us in the shadows.
But when it really comes down to it, the military is directly controlled by the federal government.
And so if the government gets controlled by people who believe in social engineering, then they look at the populace of the US military.
And I say this as a veteran, that when you've got the military, you don't only have the you don't only have the people who are serving, you have their families as well.
So the people who are living on base, the people who are being educated on base, the people who go to base health care, the people who are in base housing, the people who shop at the commissary, right, that's all on base, that's all one Insular world that's directly controlled.
You're talking tons of people.
It's it by if I think if you, if you computed it the same way that we compute like, like private enterprises, it would be the largest corporation in the country, the US Department of Defense.
And then that's not even to include contractors, civilians, etc.
So when they have direct control, those are the people that they're going to push the social engineering on first.
And that's exactly what they've done.
Yeah.
It's kind of like, we can only say so much, but I mean, I feel like in the military, people were complaining about the vaccine, but every single, you know, vet was like, dude, I took 35 vaccines in the military.
I have no idea what I took.
So you're right.
It is like, we use the military as a guinea pig and you have to, you know, you know what they do in bootcamp, right?
With the vaccines.
Well, they just make you go through line and they just, I mean, we call it like vaccine alley.
So when I was in boot camp, Navy boot camp, it was like Vaccine Alley and you just, you just walk down and you're just like, you're in line with like a hundred other guys, right?
They're all there and you're in like your skivvies and your, and your t-shirt, you know, and, and you just walk down and they're like, they give you two pieces of gauze and they're like, hold the gauze like this.
And you say, okay.
And then you walk down and this guy's like, "Hey, this is whatever shot." Boom.
And then you put the gauze on.
And you go to the next guy down the line, "This is whatever shot." You go, "Boom." And he puts that on.
And they say, "All right, take that off and do it again." And then you're just doing it shot after shot after shot after shot until the very last one.
And that don't go in your shoulder, that goes somewhere else. - Wow. - That's a very special last shot. - Dude, and you know, this is another bipartisan thing.
Why don't we give vets a free house?
I mean, I know we have the GI Bill or something, but you know, why are there so many homeless vets addicted to drugs?
I mean, these people have serious PTSD, especially the people that had combat duty.
You know, I know it is the biggest corporation, but so it seems like they'd have enough money.
I mean, it seems like they're, you know, instead of buying one of these, you know, I'm just saying one of these nuclear weapons or whatever, why don't we just allocate one of those weapons and maybe buy these people some land, a house, or give them something.
I just, And I'm not saying it's a virtue signal, but just the idea that a lot of the homeless that we see today are vets.
And I'll ask them, like, when you kind of see, and I'm not trying to racially profile because there's black guys too, but like, I'll see kind of like an, you know, just kind of like a normal, youngish looking white guy.
And I'm like, were you a vet?
And oftentimes I always say yes, when I go to these, like, You know, where these drug dens are here in Dallas.
And I'm just like, man, it's just sad because obviously you could blame it on the drugs, but a lot of times they're using these drugs as a medicating pain that the government, you know, that they went through in the military.
So it's just sad that we don't give them enough support, you know?
Well, and plus too, you know, when you look at this from like a national security perspective too, we've seen people like, like pilots.
We've seen people who have, cause you've got, you've got knowledge, right?
You've got knowledge of how the United States military fights.
Uh, what the United States military is up to our operations, you've got training and there are times where like other countries, they'll just go hire you.
So China will hire our pilots.
And it's like, why aren't we thinking about this?
Because these people obviously need not just not to mention the PTSD issues, but also these retention issues that you've got a national security question on your problem.
Like, shouldn't there be some job where, okay, if you're a pilot, we're going to make sure you're set up for a commercial flight or.
You know, whatever it is, transportation, flight, um, if you're doing, you know, logistic supplies, whatever, you know, flat cargo plane, I don't care.
Point is that if we were, if we were a serious country, right, which I know that's, that's kind of like the, the main point of this is that we're not a serious country.
We're serious about certain things like drag queen story hour and making sure that everybody gets that.
Actually, one of the last, one of the last trainings I had to do, I actually had to sit through the transgender training in the military.
I did before, right before Trump banned it.
And I remember it was this big room with like a bunch of like crusty old dudes and, uh, you know, guys who had been in the Navy for like 20 years, uh, guys who had been even longer than that sitting there like, uh, am I supposed to just nod my head and go along?
It was like a Sunday morning and everybody had to be there and it was required.
And even the commander who was giving the speech was like given, given the training was just sort of reading the cards.
And I remember there was this one, I was a chief in E7 and he got up and said, so I just want to be clear about how, about this question of dead naming.
And he said, what's, what's that?
And he said, well, so you mentioned that if I commit dead naming, then that's something where I can get written up and punished over.
So if a guy that I've worked with for 10 years, 15 years comes in one week and says, I have to call him a different name than I've called him for the last 15 years.
And I slip up.
Now I'm the one getting rid up.
Now my career's on the line.
If I do that, is that, is that what you're telling?
And you could tell that he wasn't, he wasn't coming at it from a perspective of, of like, like a political perspective of yelling at him.
He was just saying, I don't understand how that's possible.
I don't know.
How am I supposed to protect myself from doing that?
That that seems like an impossible standard.
And the commander said, well, that's the, that's the directive that's been given.
So yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's like, what is it?
What's the greatest, you know, one of the greatest military movies ever?
Gosh, you know what I'm talking about with the guy?
It's that platoon where the guy shoots himself and then he shoots his commander.
You know what I'm talking about?
Full Metal Jacket.
Full Metal Jacket, yes.
Yeah.
And in that one, it's kind of in the sense where, like, instead of punishing the big fat guy for not losing weight, they punished everybody else.
But I want to make this point when you said earlier about foreign countries recruiting our service members.
But it's exactly what they do in the NFL.
It's like when the Dallas Cowboys, they go get some scrub off the New York Giants before they play them and get inside information.
So you're talking about the national security.
That's a big deal.
I mean, you know, people think this is like a joke, but when we talk about national security, it also just pisses me off because you look at the Bidens and I'm not trying to just speak in cliches, but they literally just keep classified documents and sell.
And these probably classified documents don't really have, you know, they're probably not trying to get them and all of a sudden a republic's going to crash.
But still, they literally give this out for influence.
I don't even know if we have much government security anymore with all this espionage going on.
No, not really, because, again, like I said, it's in you.
You got like 20 year old, 21 year old gamers going on discord and leaking documents that tell us the actual truth about what's going on in Ukraine, as opposed to, I don't know, the the journalists and The Washington Post and The New York Times, who are supposedly Supposed to be doing that, but it turns out they're not doing any of it.
And it's like a 20 year old kid.
I said, we're going to arrest him and we're going to go after him and turn him into a whole thing.
When all he did was go to a bunch of guys that he played video games with and said, Hey man, they're lying to us about the war.
And I've got the receipts and you could tell that he didn't really know what he was supposed to do with it.
But you know, and I see even to your point, there's like bipartisan response that, Oh, this kid's evil.
He's a traitor.
We're going to smear him.
He's a Russian.
He's an incel.
He's all these things.
When, You notice that if you compare that to like a Vindman or Daniel Ellsberg or the Watergate papers that when something is a leak, right, when something is a leak that they want, they get called a whistleblower and they get movies made out of them and they get TV shows and everybody's supposed to love them.
But if you're someone who pushes who who puts out something like Julian Assange, oh, no, now you're now you're evil.
You're probably a Russian agent.
We don't have any evidence of that, but you're definitely a Russian agent.
Yeah, I mean, you know, they call us, not that I'm QAnon, but you know, there's just as much Blueanon as QAnon the less with their, you know, weird conspiracies, you know, and I don't know, Jackie, it's kind of, it's kind of a weird situation that we find ourselves in with this war in Ukraine.
Like, it's like kind of Captain Obvious that we know that we shouldn't even be there that I think at the beginning of this war, you know, if they just would have kept the Donbass region autonomous and, and, you know, I'm just saying, Normal people could have solved this problem, but because we want to have the war there, of course the government gets mad when they get exposed that we know that this is a losing fight, we're going to continue to give them resources because we can launder money through it, or we can just build up Raytheon and Halliburton.
So, I don't know, it's a little frustrating that we even have the evidence that the war is a joke.
And then you see the response from the military, you see the response from the law enforcement, how they came on them.
If it wasn't a big deal, if these documents are all fake, they just should have done like nothing or try to sweep it under the rug.
But they had it on live TV, people coming to his house, like they did that to send a message.
And it really doesn't send a great message.
It kind of sends a message of dysfunction more than anything.
Well, right.
And so it's basically like this.
And I've chatted about this with Darren Beatty, where it's, they've gotten to the point where this regime has totally, they used to have the power of soft power.
So they used to have the ability, like you and I were talking about, the Hollywood used to be the end all be all.
The mainstream media, the establishment, they could set public opinion, they could set the narrative.
And I actually remember this, since we're talking about shows and since you're a media guy, I was going to say, I remember that in the post 9-11 era, in that like era when Jack Bauer dominated the TV networks, If you went to conservatives, they would tell you that like every Muslim they knew was planning to blow up the United States and you thought Al Qaeda was down the street every, you know, for every, um, every, every time you saw someone who, who wasn't Christian.
And by the way, I'm not saying that that doesn't mean there weren't sympathies or anything like that.
But what I'm saying is it was this massive media push to make you think that Al Qaeda was everywhere.
And that's why we had to send so many soldiers to Iraq and so many soldiers to Afghanistan because God forbid they get here and something like Jack Bauer comes.
And this was everywhere.
And so many people bought into this for so many years.
And you go back and look at it and it's like, oh, so actually we can just beat them over there.
And then like Trump did in like three weeks.
And then that just goes away.
And like, that doesn't exist anymore.
And it's, it's a question of, So they've lost that soft power because people can see what's going on for real now.
We've got Twitter.
We've got real-time engagement.
We've got people with cell phones everywhere.
They've completely lost that soft power.
So all they have left is hard power.
All they have left are handcuffs and guns and helicopters and all the rest.
Well, what you said goes back to your best friend, Jon Stewart, who even said that today on his show that if he was trying to speak out against the war in Iraq, They would have said that it was disinformation.
So talk about lockstep, because you were talking about how now with Twitter and this new digital media age where we can get news way faster, they had us in such lockstep.
And this is what I talk about, and I make this point a lot.
When you think about 9-11, you think about the pandemic.
Now you and I are so old, even though we're not that old, like there's kids born now, they don't even, they weren't even, have no idea about 9-11.
But my point is, I try to tell them, After 9-11 as a country, we came together.
As a matter of fact, talk about globalism, New World Order, that was probably, we were New World Order there because every country was behind America.
We had sympathy from everyone.
It was actually kind of colic in a weird way.
I mean, if you kind of remember it, I remember the football players with the flags and it didn't matter if you're left or right, we all came together and they riled us together to go after this fake enemy that was quote unquote Muslim people when really Muslim people that aren't radical Islam are very docile, very calm people.
I'm just, you know, I'm just traditionally, but also socially conservative.
That's what I'm saying.
Very conservative and very, you know, family values.
So, so my point is like, we created this boogeyman that the mainstream media worked together and my dad was scared.
You were scared.
I was scared.
People are like, if you go to a concert, you're going to get blown up.
If you get on an airplane, you're going to get blown up.
So that means take off your shoes.
We're still taking our shoes off.
Yeah, but, but like what I'm talking about, the media was so blatant.
It was just like, be scared.
And that, I mean, I don't know.
I don't know if the media can ever have that cohesion anymore because of this digital media age where now Their narrative breaks down pretty fast, but with this vaccine, they've been able to keep the narrative going.
No, that's right.
I mean, I mean, we like we're just good.
I went so far with it that I literally joined the military and went to Guantanamo Bay.
And exactly.
And I was serving down there and we were like, all right, we're going to get these guys.
But it would always be like, OK, and then we're going to go.
It's like, so who are we going after today?
What's the plot?
And they're like, oh, we got this guy and he's in Somalia or he's in Yemen or he's I'm like, So are they about to attack the United States from Yemen?
Like, is this warlord out of Somalia, like, about to come to the United States and do something?
Because that's, you know, that's that's what we were told, like, fight them over here, fight them here.
Like, well, no, not really.
It's like, OK, so couldn't we, I don't know, call up the Saudis and have them deal with it or just like let them know what the intel is?
You know, by the way, like, I want people to be clear, like I'm all for locking up actual terrorists.
You go right ahead.
I have no problem whatsoever with that.
Again, like I literally served at Guantanamo Bay.
But, you know, it's at the same time, it's it's you can't take that and say, OK, these guys were nuts.
But that means that we have to we have to structure our entire life around that and then go start invading countries and making more enemies, which is what we did.
And by the way, to Jon Stewart, you know, saying that, Um, you know, okay, John, are you going to come out and then speak the truth about Ukraine, which is going on right now?
See, that's the thing is they'll say, oh, they're lied about Ukraine.
They lied about Afghanistan, lied about Vietnam.
They lied about, you know, whatever in the past.
So could they be lying about Ukraine?
Oh, that's disinformation.
No, exactly right.
How is the left?
They were just occupying wall street in 2008 and talking about how they hate the big banks and hate the corporations.
And now these people love Raytheon.
They love Halliburton.
Michael Moore made a documentary bashing it.
And now he loves, You know, the war in Ukraine.
So it's just, it's very weird that they've been able to create this like new narrative where we just got to keep on going into pointless wars.
But to what you said is how you were basically motivated to go and serve in the United States military because of what happened.
Look at guys like Pat Tillman, who had a, you know, $50 million or $40 million, you know, don't quote me on it, but a multi-million dollar contract with the Arizona Cardinals and gave that up and then died by friendly fire.
So it's just like, you know, we were kind of sold a Yeah, which they lied about, for sure.
And you know, his wife, I mean, let's get conspiratorial, put on the tinfoil hat, and she's actually spoken out about this, but that she was sent multiple letters saying that he was disenfranchised and that they didn't have a clear objective.
It wasn't even really anti-war stuff.
Like, the letters came out, and it was his wife who shared the letters, and they're not even really, but they've kind of kept it secret, and they weren't even like that he was that mad, but he's just like, no clear objective.
And they've kind of kept it secret, like the NFL's never really talked about it.
So they just think it's weird that he started to feel really disenfranchised with it before, and his family actually thinks that You know, something, you know, nefarious may have happened.
So it's just, it's just weird.
I mean, I, I'm not even trying to, I love conspiracies.
You know, I'm a nut job like that, but I'm talking about more of the bigger problem.
It's sad.
What is it?
This is what they say.
It became a problem that they had to make go away.
They just made, just make it go away.
Just make the whole thing go away.
Yeah.
Well, this, this is like how it works.
It's like Mussolini or Hitler.
I hate to quote them, but they say like one death is a tragedy.
A million deaths is a statistic.
And that's kind of like what this is.
It's like, we kind of just like whitewash of all the millions of people that died in the Middle East.
You know, we don't even really, the fact that we were blowing up weddings and, you know, you know, Afghani funerals, it's just really kind of sad that we don't even care.
And how do we care?
Like, how do we care when we find out that something's not safe and effective?
How do we like go back and rectify it?
I don't know if there's a way to rectify it.
I guess just put it in the memory roll and move on.
Yeah.
But I gotta, I gotta ask you, I gotta ask you, you know, cause we're moving to our, like our last segment here.
I gotta ask you, you know, Why?
So, you know, this transgenocide that's been going on.
So you are obviously the leader of the transgenocide.
The Alexine death squads have been marching up and down the United States left and right.
The, you know, the razor wire that you've been erecting.
Why did you launch the transgenocide and how do you see it going as of right now?
You know, it's so funny, Jack.
I love the, I love the joke, but I was talking to, not trying to name drop, but I was talking to Benny Johnson about this.
And he was like, Alex, you were, you were on the forefront of exposing a lot of these drag your kids to pride events.
And that was this summer where they got really emboldened and they started putting on the flyer, like all ages welcome, drag your kids, like all this kid stuff.
But this is what, this is what the God's honest truth, where I feel kind of guilty.
Now, because of these restaurants, see how much clout they get, even though they get a lot of hate, even though in some places like Florida and Texas, they're getting investigated.
Now these basically, these gay friendly venues are just saying it's all ages invited just to get the clout, just to get the people like me to protest against it.
That's what's happening here in Texas.
I can roll out these facilities.
It's a marketing strategy.
It's a marketing strategy!
I'm sorry I'm yelling, but that's what makes you mad.
It's like, they're using little kids, they're using the sexualizing of little kids to create drama so you go to their brewery and buy a beer.
And the worst of it all is that a parent will actually take their kid there, and I see it all the time, but Jack, this is a thing they're not talking about.
Of course there are crazy parents, but what I've noticed when I see this, I don't see a lot of nuclear families.
It's oftentimes like two guys or two girls Sometimes it's oftentimes a couple and they break up.
They'll transition their child to spite their ex-husband or ex-wife or somehow to get back at them.
I see that with Jeff Younger, who his wife is transitioning one of their twins.
And I see that over and over and over again.
It's almost like Munchausen by proxy.
They're purposely making their kid sick.
To get back at somebody else, because there's no logical reason that you'd ever tell a child that they're born in the wrong body.
You just can't.
I mean, you can maybe, it'd be hard to convince an adult, like you're born in the wrong body.
I'm an adult, I do what I want.
But a child, a kid that can't get a tattoo, you're not born in the wrong body.
So the thing is, like, like, like, so my son, he's four, he's going on five, be five in a couple weeks here, birthday's coming up.
At this age, he's so impressionable and like, it's not just impressionable.
It's because he wants to impress mom and dad.
He loves when he's able to show like, look, I was able to ride my bike by myself.
I was able to like, I made my bed.
Um, I figured out the puzzle or the game, whatever it is, right?
Whatever it is.
I was able to do it by myself.
He loves to be able to impress us and to, and to make us happy.
Right.
Um, look what I did.
He's very proud of that.
So if I start telling him that it's going to make me happy, If he plays with these toys and not those toys, and if I use that influence that I have over him in an undue way, like you say, Munchausen is my proxy, then it wouldn't be hard for me, and if you watch this years later, I'm sorry, but it wouldn't be hard for me to start doing that, because when you're at that age, you're like these skulls full of mush.
And what's funny to me, though, is he came in, Tye and I were watching a movie the other day, Like at night and he came in because he had a bad dream or something and we were watching John Wick and he comes in and he's like, what's that?
And I said, oh, that's John Wick.
And then she goes, don't let him watch that.
I said, no, he can watch some.
And he came in and he loved it.
He was like, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Look at him fighting those guys.
Look at him beating those guys up.
This is awesome.
And when you're that age and you see an action movie and you're a little boy, And it's not like I told him that he should love that stuff or be into that stuff.
He's into it because he's a dude and he's got dude genes.
And that's the kind of stuff we love.
And you feel the exact same way if I put on like, I don't know, fast.
What are those like action?
Michael Bay, Fast and Furious, you know, go down the list.
Any of the Transformers movies where, you know, Michael Bay always says, like, I'm making these for 12 year old boys.
I'm not trying to make like cinema verite or whatever here.
This is these are made for little kids and they love them.
And I'm saying that's not something that I pushed on him.
That's something that he has because, dirt to dirt, he was born that way.
And to your point, and this is another thing, if you're a girl and you like John Wick movies, that doesn't mean you're a boy!
You know what I mean?
No, I'm not saying you're saying that, but that's it.
They're good movies, yes.
Yeah, but what I'm saying is there's sometimes girls that are tomboyish.
Like, I remember Megan Somerville, a girl I played, she was awesome at basketball.
She was, you know, one of our better high school basketball players.
When she was really young, she could sometimes beat the guys.
She never beat me, but we never played that much.
But I'm just saying, She was just physically a little more gifted, but she wasn't a lesbian.
They weren't saying, oh, you're transgender because she was really good at basketball at a young age.
So it's just kind of weird how like, it's okay for these kids to, you know, I guess, you know, go towards what they're passionate, but these parents aren't, you know, they're pushing them.
These kids aren't naturally going, you know, to what they want.
It's these parents that are manufacturing like you so that they can get approval.
You know, these kids want to do the same thing with my dad.
I want to do whatever he wanted me to do because I want approval of my parents.
But, but this one's good.
This one goes back to the real problem of society today.
And it's in BLM's manuscripts or in their manifesto.
It's the denuclearization of the cohesive family.
The fact that we are so separated.
The fact that they want us, you know, raised by a single mom who's struggling, who's in debt.
So you can just go to school and be basically a ward of the state.
So that's the big problem is that these kids don't have a parent to even try to get approval from.
So then you really don't have any structure.
So it's crazy.
So much of it is fatherless behavior.
So much of it is fatherless behavior.
And We actually know through just archaeological findings that the nuclear family, okay, mom, dad, kids, is probably the oldest institution on the planet that we actually have evidence of.
It predates Christianity.
It predates governments.
It predates everything.
It predates towns and villages.
When humans were living in the caves, when the Neanderthals and the Cro-Magnons were getting it on, You know, in Europe, etc., that they lived in families and they lived together.
And we found evidence of this.
So you're literally talking about something that has worked for tens of thousands of years.
And yet you get these people come on and say, you know what?
Let's try something a little bit different.
Let's try mixing it up and see what we can do here.
Let's try changing around things that should be immutable.
And it's like, um, yeah, just because we have the technology to, to, to cut things off and twist things around, you see, I ended up doing the forearm stuff, man, that they're doing out there.
And they're saying that's empowering.
Uh, uh, uh, no, these are bad, bad moves.
And we had, we had a couple of, of the, um, the, uh, detransition activists on Ali London and Chloe Cole.
They've talked about how.
Uh, just, just horrific.
The experience was for them because they're messing with your head, especially when- They told Chloe Cole's parents!
Jack, they told Chloe Cole's parents she was going to kill herself if they didn't do it.
She, she, she came on here.
And so there was a point in that interview where I wanted to ask the question from the position of a parent, because it's, it's hardwired.
I think of everything as a parent.
Like I'm, I'm terrified of that happening to my kid, you know?
And I said, but how could parents ever go along with it?
And I asked her the question.
And I said, you know, we were talking about it with the producers here.
And I said, I said, we'll see if I can get her to like on that track.
You know, we're going to like open up with it.
Right.
But I got her and she was talking about when she was in high school and she felt like she didn't fit in.
And it's like, yeah, nobody feels like they fit in in high school unless you're like top of the food chain.
Everybody feels awkward in high school.
But usually you don't start not attacking her, but usually you don't start like undergoing surgery because of it.
Usually you just go to like hot topics.
And, you know, to dye your hair or something.
You're not like committing, you know, permanent fraud.
But then again, it's also because the doctors were doing that and telling her that she needed to do that.
Then I said, well, how did the parents go?
And they said, well, my parents were told that I was going to kill myself.
And I got to tell you, you know, as a parent, that's that's the scariest possible thing you could ever hear of your child being a danger.
Your child may not make it out of something.
And it's like, What would, and so the question that becomes, what would you, what would you do?
And they know this, what would you do or would you be willing to do to save your kid's life?
And you're like, yeah, I'd rather my kid have a mastectomy than be dead.
But I mean, it's just, that's so evil.
And then we even have them on tape.
It's pure evil.
It's pure evil.
Yeah.
Well, Billboard Chris, you know, he got it.
He exposed that video from Boston Children's Hospital where they said that they like gender dysphoria because once they get an early diagnosis, they have a patient for life.
So, I mean, if you can't see the amount of pediatric gender reassignment clinics that have opened up from 1950 to today, I mean, there was like zero in 1950.
As a matter of fact, the only reason any of these surgeries or hormones actually exist, and I remember learning this my sophomore year of college in a sociology class, but they taught us about, it was a gender studies class course, we learned about trans and all that stuff, but they told us about what is called, some people are born intersex, or their genitals are, you know, some sort of deformity with their genitals.
And oftentimes these people usually can't, you know, procreate, they don't have reproductive organs 'cause they have some sort of malfunction.
So the families would be put in a tough situation back.
This would happen in the fifties, sixties or whatever.
Very rarely.
I mean, very rarely.
I mean, point zero, zero, zero.
I mean, one out of a million.
Yeah.
This is not like some widespread.
Yeah.
This is, yeah, this is not some common thing.
This is almost like the medical books.
Like a vestigial tail or something.
Exactly.
Or whatever.
Yeah.
They still have their tail.
You know, sometimes people were born seven fingers.
They have to get it removed or something.
It's just very rare.
It's kind of like people don't know that you actually have webbed feet.
Yes, I do.
But that's what made me swim faster.
And that's why I'm trying to compete against the women.
But that's neither here nor there.
It's not about my trans swimming.
Oh, gosh, what was I just talking about?
Now you got me sidetracked with the trans swimming.
Yeah, the intersex.
Sorry.
So the reason why these clinics and the science exist.
is because there are a very small amount of people that needed like the gender reassignment surgery or they would actually give them hormones so that as early as possible so in this doctrine in these books that was like the medical procedure as early as possible to you know get the the baby acclimated to its gender so they've taken that they like extrapolated this thing which was in a way maybe based on science if somebody's born intersected be good for them to identify as their sex earlier but now they've taken that well now it's basically they're just giving mastectomies and and bottom surgery to any 16 year old
that's willing to do it basically.
Right and so so right and they're normalizing this they do this by the way they do the same thing with so many things in history where they'll take something And they'll say, hey, there was this horrible incident that took place like in the South or in the past or colonial, whatever it was.
And they'll act like that was the norm.
And then they're teaching kids this and saying, oh, this is the norm throughout all of time.
And so if you want to demonize something or if you want to normalize something, you make it look as that if that one incident, which, OK, admittedly may have been bad, but acting as if that's the total norm for everything that's going on right now, we saw this in this situation out in Kansas City.
The same thing where they play with statistics because they blow up one thing where they'll say, "Okay, here's an 84-year-old man, and there was a black kid who came to his home, and we don't know exactly what happened, but there was a shooting that occurred, and then it's everywhere." It's the only thing you see, President Biden's getting involved, all this stuff's happening, But if you look at the actual data, you can see this is like such an it's an outlier to an outlier.
It's a side show to a side show.
And you are the ones who are amplifying it and making it exist as if there's some normal behavior when it's obviously just a horrific series of mistakes that took place.
And at the same time in upstate New York, the very same day or at least the same weekend, the same thing happened to a white girl who was up with her friends and a white guy.
And they pulled into his driveway and it was like out in the woods.
and they thought it was some party house, but it wasn't.
And he shot her with a shotgun and killed her.
And yet that story, that's not anywhere.
You know, a couple of clicks on the website, but Joe Biden's not calling them up.
That's not wall to wall coverage on CNN.
No.
So it's the same trick that's so smart that you brought that up, because what they do is they take a statistical outlier and they act as and they amplify it to the point where people think it's normal.
Yeah, that's exactly what they do.
They, what is it, Bill Gates' favorite book, How to Lie with Statistics, basically.
I mean, that's what they can do.
They can use numbers and they can formulate any hypothesis and say, but this is really what it comes down to, and you know this, and to kind of wrap things up.
The problem is it's like problem, reaction, solution.
Like the solution is for, you know, these people to, you know, the new world order or whatever, you know, whatever the end plan is.
And so they, they, They have to make us react a certain way.
They have to use fear.
And that's the problem.
That's what gets me mad, is that they use this fear, what I call trauma-based mind control, to scare us into compliance.
And that's what happened during the pandemic.
And that's what's going to happen with this climate change.
Now all these climate change activists are like, dude, you don't care about it.
And if these polar ice caps are melted, why is Bill Gates and Barack Obama buying beach houses?
They're all full of crap.
Yeah, I saw some people pointing out, they're like, what's the carbon footprint of SpaceX?
that Tesla's supposed to be, and I'm not saying that as an attack or whatever, but Tesla's supposed to be over helping climate change, but then you see SpaceX and 33 mass, and I think it's great.
I think SpaceX is wonderful.
I think we need too much attention, but where's the- - What I'm saying, it doesn't matter.
We're not even the most pollutant country.
You know what I'm saying?
None of this climate stuff makes sense.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm not even worried about John Kerry in a private jet.
I'm not worried about Elon Musk rockets.
I don't really think that's making the ozone layer thinner and that.
You know what I'm saying?
They have to use fear.
They have to make us think that we're going to have this apocalyptic event.
And actually, as a matter of fact, I got to write my monologue for my show tonight, and I guess I'll kind of run it by you.
I was thinking about Well, I was thinking, people want the apocalypse.
Jack, when we were young, when we watched every movie, we were talking about movies, you can wrap up this whole thing, and whether, in a way, it can also be based biblically because everybody likes Revelation, everybody reads Genesis and Revelation in the Bible, so it's like we kind of want this apocalypse.
By the way, the Greek word for revelation is apocalypse.
That's when you're saying apocalypse, you're saying the word revelation in Greek.
And so it's kind of this weird thing.
It's like the Christian right wants it, but then like the left kind of wants apocalypse too.
They want to see everybody burn and they love the pandemic.
So it's kind of this weird thing.
It's like, I want, I want it.
And I'm not a preacher.
I'm not a role model.
I always say this, do the opposite of me.
I'm an idiot.
But it's like, we got to have, I guess, more gratitude instead of like hoping for the end, you know, it's like, we almost want this big kaboom and we want like everything to fall in with this, you know, not civil war.
We don't want, but you know what I'm saying?
We want the bubble to burst.
And this is the point that I was trying to make, too, and this is my problem with crypto bros.
I have a little bit of crypto, but all the people that are in crypto, I'm not hating on you, but you want our money system to collapse!
I don't want our money system to collapse!
I want my money to be worth it!
You know what that's going to do to so many working class people and those families, people who are living paycheck to paycheck?
They're done.
They're done if the US dollar collapses.
Done.
And it's like, and what?
You know, you're just going to throw some NGMI, bro!
NGMI!
Your kids are starving, NGMI!
Nah, man, that's not good.
But people want this, though, Jack.
People want this.
And I do want some change, but I don't want the change to happen because the world collapses.
I still believe in, you know, I still have American pride.
I still, like, want to help people.
And I still want to help people.
I think, like, the idea that, I don't want to be a socialist country, but the idea that we have social services and want to help people, that's great.
I actually am not against that, but let's just not waste that money in the Ukraine.
Let's help American citizens.
Let's help veterans.
Let's help families that are struggling.
Let's help single moms.
Instead of people that don't need it, like, no offense to these illegal immigrants, but they come here.
And listen, I see, you see Kamala Harris's house, there's 20 illegal immigrants there.
They're like, oh my god, this is the craziest thing.
I'm in Dallas, Texas, Jack, every day, Baughman Lake, it's near the airport.
I see 20, 30 You know, they're like El Salvadorian or something.
They have their mask on.
They have like a new Walmart shirt.
You can just tell they got here and they're walking around like, where do I go?
So I'm saying these people are getting more help.
