	Oh, oh, okay.
	Wear your shades at night?
	Bro, I will fucking put my shades on.
	Why not?
	I would never do that.
	That's such a weird thing.
	That's such a weird thing to do.
	I mean, we're all fucking weird, bro.
	That's part of the job description.
	You can't just say that to me without looking at me in the eyes.
	We're all fucking weird, bro.
	It's actually of my childhood memories.
	You know how you have a few that just kind of stand out?
	There was a girl I had a crush on in maybe like the first or second grade.
	I was living out in California at the time, and I remember her running up to me and just telling me, you're weird.
	I had no response, and I didn't really...
	How do you respond to that, right?
	Bitch, you're weird.
	What are you supposed to say?
	Without being an asshole.
	Yeah, well, I mean, I didn't even know swear words at the time, so.
	Oh, shit.
	You know.
	I'll tell you what.
	I'll tell you what.
	Nice.
	Sweet, thank you.
	Oh, snap.
	Oh, snap.
	All right, all right.
	I'll tell you what.
	So, another story.
	Okay, so.
	Went from California as a kid to St. Louis.
	And I grew up right around Northern California.
	Actually, notoriously, we talk about this area all the time.
	It's in Vacaville.
	Vacaville?
	Yeah, it's in Solano County, Northern California.
	Kind of, if you were to think about it.
	It's in between Sacramento and San Francisco, if you were to think about it.
	That kind of area.
	And it's typically very dry, very arid, but a cool spot.
	My dad was in the military, flew, and so that's why we were out there.
	And now this little section of land in kind of like this Vacaville, Fairfield area has been purchased by a corporation, and they're trying to make a town, like a smart city in that area.
	And so we talk about it on Infowars all the time.
	It's always one of those things that pops up.
	I'm like, oh, that's really interesting.
	It's right next to Travis Air Force Base, which is why it's kind of concerning, right?
	Greece.
	If you think about it.
	Huh.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So anyways, I moved to St. Louis when I was about 10 years old, and I didn't know...
	My parents were good parents.
	They hid a lot of that stuff from me.
	But it's interesting that, like, you know, I grew up in California and I had no idea about, like, you know, slurs for, you know, sexual orientation.
	That's amazing.
	Right, right, right.
	But you gotta fix that camera anyways.
	Zoom in on two a little bit.
	I didn't know we were recording.
	It's a culture shock.
	So there's your toxic culture.
	I can't believe you didn't know swear words until you were 10 years old.
	No, I knew a couple swear words.
	I knew a couple swear words.
	Like nuts.
	That's a swear word?
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Heck.
	H-E double hockey sticks.
	You know what?
	There was so many stories.
	So many stories.
	So anyways, the first time I got called a fag, um...
	No, I'm kidding.
	So yeah, it was What?
	Are you good over there, Derek?
	We can have both of them scoot over if you need, or is that good?
	No, it's kind of that look where Matt's out of focus, Alright, perfect.
	Focus me out.
	You're perfect.
	Okay, Sean.
	Is Sean still here too?
	Sean's.
	Y 'all can leave that door open if you want.
	Sean's the director.
	We can leave it open so we can hear y 'all.
	We like to keep it open here at InfoWars.
	Yeah, open door policy, duh.
	How else would we have gotten the show off the ground?
	Derek, I don't know.
	We can just go from here.
	You can start at the splash screen.
	I really don't care.
	Yeah.
	Oh shit, we're back.
	This might literally be the last toxic culture transmission ever.
	No, I'm just kidding.
	At least in the Infowars studio.
	I know you've heard the bad news, guys.
	You know, the feds are trying to shut down Infowars.
	We've been here all day.
	They've been live since 10 a.m.
	And, you know, we're just trying to continue telling the truth.
	I have the Infowars crew.
	Hi.
	It's Matt Weber and Yano Rees Sayapkop.
	What's up, everybody?
	We are here to continue the fun and continue giving y 'all what you need.
	So yeah, guys, I just want to kind of bring some of the crew in and have kind of a crew roundtable, and everybody's going to be swapping in.
	We've got two other people out there.
	I just want everybody, you know, we're going to share our good times that we've had here.
	We've had a lot of good times here.
	It's been amazing.
	I've been here five years.
	People have been here longer than me.
	People have been here shorter than me, if that makes sense.
	But we just kind of want to have some fun while we can.
	So yeah, who wants to go first?
	Matt, Reese?
	Reese, Matt?
	Reese Weber?
	I'll go first.
	Let's go, Reese.
	Mr. Syab Cop.
	Your episode is dropping soon.
	What's going on, man?
	Hold on, he wants to play rock, paper, scissors.
	You can't rob him.
	All right, all right.
	We can roll for it.
	That's what I'm talking about.
	All right, all right.
	Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
	Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
	Damn.
	I just NLP'd him.
	I got him with the NLP.
	Before we got started, you saw me throw the scissors down.
	He threw the rock because you'd seen it.
	I NLP'd you.
	I don't meet you.
	Some of that Tony Robbins NLP shit.
	I love you.
	What does that help you?
	Neuro-linguistic programming.
	Neuro-linguistic programming.
	You know, some of the, what is it, Penn& Teller, they actually had a great video on suggestions.
	They would prime people who were unwitting participants in their magic tricks with random strangers ahead of time, and then they would ask them questions during the live show.
	But what the participants didn't know is that Penn& Teller were going to guess their answers ahead of time.
	And you see it happen.
	It's like, whoa, this is crazy.
	But what they didn't know is that they had been approached ahead of time, and people had put that into their subconscious.
	Put it into their minds already.
	Through conversation, right?
	Yeah.
	So they knew what they were going to say just because they planted the seed in conversation.
	But also, I just got lucky.
	Oh, man, that's half of it.
	A little bit of that, too.
	All right, Matt.
	What's up, Matt?
	Introduce yourself.
	Tell the people what you do, how long you've been here.
	Let's start there.
	Yeah, so this feels very like a formal interview.
	Hi, my name is Matt.
	I decided to wear my button-up shirt today.
	I never, I'm always the guy in the hoodie, if you ever watch the American Journal.
	But I'm just a guy here that, like most guys here, and occasionally a few women.
	Occasionally.
	Very occasionally.
	Might be for the good better.
	Yeah.
	I will say...
	McAdoo.
	The end.
	Some tough women.
	Yes.
	Yeah, McAdoo is a big...
	Savannah.
	The end.
	Great, great, great.
	She was great.
	There were others.
	My wife.
	That's how I actually met my wife here.
	That's right.
	Yes.
	Tell us about that.
	Oh, yeah.
	My wife.
	So we were both hired roughly at the same time in 2015.
	Her name's Alejandra.
	Yeah, she's great.
	She's a wonderful woman.
	Hey, there we go.
	Got those pics.
	That's me.
	That's my number.
	That's my go-to right there.
	Pointing at double points.
	Double points.
	We're recording.
	We have some exclusive crew interviews for you.
	It's going to be a great time.
	Y 'all better tune in.
	Bada bing, bada boom.
	Yeah, Ali and I met here.
	Hit it off.
	And hello.
	Office Fling, it was great.
	I was Jim, she was Pam.
	The Panda Company ink.
	You dipped the Painted Company in Dirty Dog.
	He did.
	And the color was magnificent.
	So, hey, you know, uh, we decided to get married and, Was it been like two?
	So, two years of marriage.
	No, I've been married since 2020.
	Damn, 2020.
	Time flies.
	Because, you know, hey, think about like, you know, if you think about like before Christ, after Christ, what were they doing in 2 or 4 AD, right?
	They didn't know it was 2 or 4 AD.
	They're probably like, you know, it was 4 AD.
	They're like, what was that?
	Like two years ago?
	Like, you know, Christ died the other day.
	I saw him just the other day.
	I see him every day.
	Yep.
	I see him every day.
	And they think you're crazy.
	And they think you're crazy.
	See who every day?
	Don't worry about it.
	You missed out.
	Okay.
	This is Matt's time, not Reese's time.
	Fair enough.
	Fair enough.
	I'm not hitting the mic.
	I apologize.
	I like to tap.
	That was my bad.
	That was my bad.
	That was my faux pas.
	All right, Matt, so what has been one of your...
	Because I am kind of jealous if you Google Infowars and Alex Jones and you go to images, your picture is there.
	Derek, pull that up.
	His picture is there.
	We gotta pull that up.
	We have to pull that up.
	I am so jealous that it's literally like...
	So at that time, that was maybe 2015, 2016-ish time.
	So I started out here as a producer.
	Actually, funny enough, so when I started here, I had no idea what InfoWars was outside of seeing an InfoWars magazine.
	And you got to see InfoWars magazines?
	Can we get one of those in here?
	So I got one at, yes, that was, and guess what?
	Look at that.
	Guess what?
	I still have that whole shirt combo and the jeans.
	I still wear all of those same clothes to this day.
	That's not bad.
	It's only six years.
	Matt, walk us through the picture, Matt.
	Tell us what happened here.
	At this point in time, I'm giving Alex his pre-show briefing.
	This is typically what Derek, Rob, yourself...
	Danny and Kevin.
	Danny and Kevin.
	They do the video list.
	Yes, so we are delivering the video list right now.
	We're pre-taping.
	What's up, dude?
	You want to come in?
	We're teaching them how the magic's made.
	He's talking about what happened here with this picture.
	The history, the sauce, everything.
	Yeah, so we're delivering the video list and he looks pissed, right?
	And that's kind of what you're in for, you know, in the morning.
	The thing is, it's ten minutes before the show.
	Did you say same people?
	Oh, same people.
	Yes.
	Ah, yes.
	Yeah, tune in.
	We're about to get the same people.
	Same people.
	Oh, yeah.
	That was the best.
	The best ever, which you guys don't even know about.
	I have no idea what that means.
	Oh, yes.
	I'm rolling with it.
	So now we're going to get now we've got to We're going to now have to hit a flashback.
	So before I started working in Forrest, I actually worked as a news video.
	It was locally owned.
	It wasn't like a Sinclair station or anything like that.
	And it was a CNN affiliate.
	It was a participant in CNN News Source.
	And so I had definitely You know, I'm not going to give you the cliche, I was a Democrat turned Republican type thing.
	You were a centrist?
	No, no, no.
	I mean, I think, like, I was always an open-minded person.
	Definitely an Obama voter.
	Boo!
	I'm just kidding.
	I actually, being as an Illinite, right?
	Oh, that's true.
	Someone who did, you know, grow up in Illinois.
	That was a hometown hero.
	That's true, yeah.
	That propaganda was hard.
	That was some hardcore propaganda.
	I was at a Rod Blagojevich, what do you call it, a celebration party one year when he was elected because one of the judges that ran down ticket of him lived in my neighborhood.
	And she was an appellate court judge.
	Right.
	And so we campaigned for her, went to her victory party, and he was there.
	I got to fist bump Rod Blagojevich, and I thought it was just a common, everyday thing.
	And my dad was like, Matt, it's not every day you meet the governor of the state.
	I'm like, you know, I'm just a young kid.
	How old were you at that point?
	Maybe about 13 or 14. Oh, shit.
	right yeah just doing canvassing that type of work but it was you know it felt like something that was like it felt like someone who was in Right.
	Even though I grew up in southern Illinois and the Pollocks.
	Politics there are radically different than Chicago.
	But that's neither here nor there.
	So I worked for a station that I think would have been considered a little bit more liberal or left-leaning and had no idea of Alex Jones.
	He wasn't on my radar for the hooker stuff, the Sandy Hooker stuff.
	That stripper.
	Had worked in the news industry and never heard of Alex Jones, right?
	And moved to Texas.
	I was a freelancer at the time after, you know, getting done with that station, everything like that.
	You know, hit it off.
	You know, we had a job.
	So my first kind of assignment was going on the road, and I was one of the photographers for Richard Reeves, who was really like, yeah, Richard Reeves and I. We went on, in 2015 and 2016, we went on the campaign trail together, and we got, like, all the Trump footage and stuff like that that we played here.
	And that was when I knew.
	Actually, one of the coolest moments and one of the things that I will probably keep for years are a bunch of media passes that we had obtained from going to Trump events or all the different political events.
	It's very cool.
	Like, token of something that I had participated in.
	But, you know, we did coverage there.
	But one of the coolest things was knowing way ahead of time that Trump was going to, for sure, kick the living turd piss out of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, right?
	It's the first time I've heard turd piss.
	Yeah.
	I just want to say that.
	I mean, it was going to be a beatdown because you looked at the enthusiasm on the ground, like, of her, you know, campaign rallies.
	It was lame.
	And she was trying hard, right?
	Like, you know...
	You know, she was going really hard.
	She was working it.
	Well, you know, I don't remember Pokemon Go to the polls, but I do remember Pokemon Go.
	If we can roll the clip in post.
	Oh, geez.
	Okay, well, I'm about to be boomered here.
	Oh, man.
	It was bad, though.
	It was really bad.
	In between telling you guys that I had voted for Obama, I definitely became a Ron Pauler in 2012.
	I had a great friend in college who was awesome and he woke me up and told me Kyle and I would always riff on Libertarian politics and why the Fed was corrupt and, you know, a lot of things that were wrong with this country.
	Because, again, you know, I graduated high school amid the height of the 2008 financial crash, right?
	Yeah, that's when I graduated 07, so I feel your pain.
	I went to college during fucking the worst economy ever.
	Right, and that in itself...
	Maybe, I mean, that might...
	I haven't actually looked at the numbers, how bad it was in 07, 08 to 2010 compared to now.
	There's a distinct difference now in the sense that the gig economy had not fully formed.
	It was still kind of in its inception.
	And, you know, people were still getting adjusted to getting off of And people are starting to realize, oh, fuck, you know, like I've got to figure this out for myself.
	And not only that, like I've kind of got to start juggling two jobs.
	Right.
	And that's how they inflated a lot of the numbers right then and now.
	Yeah, for sure.
	It's the fact that people were working, but they were working a lot of different jobs and doing a lot of different things, and you're not saving for your retirement at that point.
	And for major corporations who are paying contractors rather than full-time employees, that's huge.
	Yeah, for sure.
	It's huge for them, and it really kind of hurts you.
	So, yeah, I graduated into that.
	And that will wake anyone up to, hey, fuck the Fed.
	Absolutely.
	And it sucks because it jades you very early on.
	If you happen to consume a lot of content on it, you get kind of wise to it.
	And then you start realizing, oh, well, in the wild, in real life, you have these conversations with people.
	You know where it's headed from the offset.
	You mentioned the Fed, you're a crazy person.
	So you've got to tread lightly.
	And you've got to figure out who is cool enough, who's worth it enough to you in your life to try to have those conversations with, which, you know, unfortunately, you do have to...
	But you do have to have that distinction, right?
	You will encounter people every day who will slander you, who will call you something, right?
	A racist, whatever.
	I'm sure you've been called.
	A thousand hurtful things, right?
	Or hurtful.
	I mean, the funniest one, honestly, they called me a Nazi.
	I thought that was pretty funny.
	Well, sure, sure.
	There's the stuff that we can laugh off, but there are the things.
	I've been called Uncle Tom.
	And it's like that one comment from that one person that's like, ooh, you know, that it does, you know, it's smart.
	It does, you know, it's not going to.
	Yeah, you're right.
	It sticks with you.
	If you only knew, you know what I'm saying?
	Obviously, you're the one who's kind of a basket case because I'm bringing you the truth and you're going to go that far and just call me that.
	I'm coming from a good place.
	And I think that's actually probably the biggest breakdown in society today is the fact that we attribute the worst motives to the other side.
	When we're talking about the Dems, the Libs, the whatever.
	When the Libs are talking about the Repubs, the Conserves, you know, the what.
	We attribute the worst motives to the other people, and that means that that person's probably coming from a place of malice, and that's why there's a huge breakdown.
	That's why we're at each other's throats.
	If we said, hey, you know what?
	It's the fact that, hey, that person over there who's chanting for abortion, right?
	They've had a different life experience where someone they knew or maybe themselves, right?
	They had an unwanted maybe situation.
	And we will never get off this topic.
	I just don't think that many people who are protesting actually went through that process.
	So let me elevate maybe the discussion to the point where I feel like I would like to start off with the abortion discussion.
	Because everyone who's watching this has seen this, right?
	where it's like, you know, we don't want to get labeled and then the discussion starts someplace and then it ends, you know, in a tragically disastrous place.
	It's the fact that we understand that abortion is, Some people need it.
	Some people, you know, I wish that a lot of people who had abortions realized that they don't need it as bad as they think and that good things happen.
	You know, I've seen so many mothers who decided to have a child and they made something of themselves and their lives and their children are wonderful people.
	And that's not always the case.
	And a lot of people look at the opposite end, the bad cases, and they say, "Oh, well, if she's pregnant out of wedlock, well, she must need an abortion." And that's right.
	What I'm saying is that an abortion is a traumatic event, and I wish that we lived in a world where no one would need an abortion.
	Unfortunately, that is not the case.
	And I understand that there are exceptions to the rule, and I think everybody does.
	But everybody, again, we're all primed.
	We're all primed with the national debate.
	We're all primed with where the ball stands on the field in terms of that debate.
	And unfortunately, we have to enter the arena at that point.
	The conversation starts, and it typically never gets very far unless people are good friends and drinks are had.
	But, you know, that's a little bit of that.
	But if we were to circle back around and kind of get back to some of the cooler moments, it was actually a lot of that.
	2015-2016, that magic that Alex Jones was a sleeper hit coming through with all of these people.
	You were here before censorship, right?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, you were here before censorship.
	So you witnessed firsthand.
	The difference, it's like being a 90s kid and then technology hits.
	You know what I'm saying?
	That's how I can feel like a lot of people can relate to where having Infowars on its full steam ahead to where it's just getting cut off like you got amputated and now you have to crawl until your fucking legs grow back or some shit.
	You know what I mean?
	Fill people in on how it was.
	We were talking about this earlier.
	What you were saying earlier is what spawned this whole thing.
	The golden age.
	Tell people how many views Alex was getting.
	Tell people how it was before censorship and how it's transpired out to where we are now.
	If we were to talk about, okay, that day that I was giving Alex a video list, that would have been, We were having a great show.
	We had a bunch of great people, great crew in the mix and everything like that.
	At that point, I'm essentially acting as, I think, an assistant director would be probably the most accurate way to describe it, would be an assistant director.
	I do the videos, and I help to kind of keep an ear out during the show, and I roll the video clips, right?
	I'm working as maybe a master controller.
	Yeah, you're like a video.
	Playback video manager.
	Video operator, I guess you could say.
	And there was a point in time when I strolled into a guy named John Harmon's office.
	He's pretty infamous if you follow InfoWars.
	Harmon!
	He's actually an executive producer of the show.
	Harmy Harm!
	E.P. Harmon had received a report from YouTube about just kind of where the channel stood, the Alex Jones channel.
	We saw that we had like hundreds of millions of hours consumed per month, and that was with a subscriber base of like 2.7, let's say like 2.75 million, right?
	2.75 trillion?
	No, no, almost 3 million, right?
	Almost 3 million people who are watching a four-hour show each day.
	That's fucking wild.
	Say that one more time so people can understand.
	Hundreds of millions of hours consumed on YouTube, just that platform alone, before Alex got censored.
	2.75 million people were watching.
	Those were subscribers.
	Those were everyday subscribers.
	Holy shit.
	And, you know, like, Alex was, you know, he was...
	He's got different eras because he's been at it for so long, but he definitely hit a stride.
	He was a sleeper hit.
	He was underground.
	A lot of people tuned into him but wouldn't tell you.
	Talkers numbers, right?
	They were through the roof in terms of engagement time, right?
	Like, he was orders of magnitude ahead of other talk show hosts that you've heard of that are household names, right?
	So, you know, you take a look at his, like, charisma and his commitment to, you know, what he's doing, right?
	It's like, oh, yeah, like, cult of personality.
	Like, he's the real deal.
	He's something you can't fake.
	Derek, it's toxic culture.
	Who don't give a fuck about making noise?
	Derek's here.
	Make some fucking noise.
	Derek...
	We also got...
	Hello, baby.
	We ain't even hiding it no more.
	He's trying to be subtle.
	Continue, Matt.
	Yeah, you take a look at Alex Jones, like the man, like, you know, really driving home.
	You take a look at, I don't think any one factor can be dismissed, right?
	But one of the most important factors was Alex Jones and his audience, right?
	The engagement that he was able to drive, right?
	And it's crazy because he got one interview with Trump and then his whole, you know, it's really a culmination of Trump's I'm not even really mad at it,
	but at the same time, it's like, come on, bro.
	That's one thing that frustrates me about a lot of the people that we propel into the future.
	They never look back and be like, oh yeah, thank you Infowars.
	Tannis Hoes is one.
	Actually, I'll take that back.
	Maria Z today did a great, great...
	She was one of the few.
	those people also forge their own paths.
	Right.
	So, you know, I, I don't think that like info was actually even necessarily needs like, like that type of, No, we don't, but it's like in good faith though.
	You think people that Sure.
	In good faith, and shout-out Savannah Hernandez and Drew Hernandez.
	Yes, absolutely.
	No relation, obviously.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But they both, I saw on Twitter today, were like, Even Fresh and Fit called in today, or spaced in today, which is crazy.
	There's so many people that actually will take the time to thank Alex, but then there's so many people who just leave us in the past.
	Like, we don't even exist.
	A lot.
	A lot, dude.
	To those people and to those things, I would still say that they are still far downstream.
	From where Alex is.
	Even today, right?
	We talk about Alex Jones as a pioneer and like, oh yeah, like the 90s.
	He prophesied that like fucking 2001 would happen and some shit.
	And no, like he's still doing it, right?
	Like he's still doing that shit.
	And he really is the type of person that is able to tap into the zeitgeist via one way or the other, which is And one of the things that also I'll kind of shut up here for a second because I've been taking a lot of the talk time.
	I know Reese is just sitting here looking pretty.
	It's all good.
	It's all good.
	Everybody will have their time.
	You know, I did go to film school, and I did go to...
	I took writing classes, all this stuff.
	When you look at the antihero, the person who's conflicted, there is something about Alex Jones in the sense that...
	He is methodical, yet he is quick to act on some of those impulses.
	And that does, these things sound like they're at odds, but it's what's...
	The fact that, you know, he does what he wants, yet he has the foundation, right?
	That the hours that were spent...
	We got a preggo in the building!
	Yes!
	The whole crew is rolling up.
	Who dat?
	Who dat?
	The editors are here now.
	Yes, yes.
	Sorry, guys.
	I gotta sprite it because there's new life in the building.
	So you get a lot of that.
	Alex, as someone who was our age, was still very heavy in books.
	Isn't that crazy?
	The stuff he was reading.
	Before Google.
	Before Google could tell you what was up.
	You had to go to the library.
	You had to do that.
	Of all things.
	You don't live in Austin.
	Ruffiche?
	Yeah, well the Austin Public Library is pretty dope, but if you live anywhere that doesn't have a great library Alright, Matt, so before we switch it over to Reese, I want you to tell everybody your favorite Alex Jones moment.
	I want you to tell them, yeah.
	Yeah, them's fucking fighting words.
	We were talking about that tonight.
	I think tonight with Alex's broadcast, we got a them's fucking fighting words, but that was probably one of the best.
	We were doing a money bomb one time, and I strolled up, took over, and Alex was in the middle of one of his epic rants where he addressed the camera directly in the studio that we do American Journal out of now.
	And he was, like, talking to people who had basically called him a Russian agent and everything like that.
	And it was people who were all, like, former FBI, CIA contractors who were in the media, now had media gigs, right, because they're untouchable.
	Alex is like, listen, bitch.
	You know what, my best bud, my best man, one of the reasons why I love this dude, he told me one time, he was like, yo, bro, sometimes when I'm gonna go work out and do, like, you know, heavy squat day, I fucking turn that clip on before I work out, and I'm like, fuck yeah, dude.
	Fuck yeah, dude.
	My homie's based.
	Yeah.
	That's amazing, dude.
	Appreciate your insight, Matt.
	I really, really do.
	Matt Weber, everybody.
	Big asset here for a long time.
	And we're going to slide over to Mr. Syop Cop.
	So what's up, Reese?
	How's it going, man?
	Have a fun day?
	Dude, it's been a wild day.
	Wild day.
	Yeah.
	Well, take over because I've got to use the bathroom and say hi to Aprego.
	Oh, we're definitely taking over.
	Yeah, just take over.
	I'll be right back.
	Bye, Rob.
	Yeah, yeah.
	We totally won't say anything behind your back.
	I guess what I'll say is just kind of how I started here at InfoWars, just to kind of keep things going here.
	I knew the producer, Daria, from an event that taught homesteading skills around this local area.
	And I met her there.
	We hit her off.
	She was really cool.
	Can I stop you right there and say that that's right in line with everything I know about you?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Fair enough.
	Right on.
	At the time, I was kind of at a strange place in life where I was working a job that I wasn't exactly thrilled with, but I still wanted to kind of learn some skills that would be useful to me, like homesteading skills, like how to kill and process a chicken, things like that.
	I was making time to learn those kinds of skills, but I met her there.
	We kept in touch, and I was working construction at the time.
	Those are good skills to have when you work in TV production because the job can quickly turn back into construction.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly.
	It's my safety net.
	Now, I was working construction at the time.
	You were working that lumber.
	Well, not so much lumber, more like Ethernet cable.
	Oh, you were an Ethernet cable.
	Like the polar opposite of lumber.
	Oh, okay.
	I was wondering if you were a concrete guy.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	I was not one of those concrete guys.
	No, I was working construction in downtown Austin off of 5th and Brazos.
	This condo-hotel combination.
	Really weird building.
	And in my off hours on the weekends, I would work on my van that I converted into a camper van that I would live out of eventually.
	Yeah, the one we used to spy on people.
	Yes, exactly.
	That one.
	I know that van, yeah.
	I was working on my camper van, and so on the weekends after my construction job would end, I would do all the carpentry and all that fun stuff with my camper van, and I would actually have on my phone, I would just blast the Alex Jones show.
	And that's when I really started listening to InfoWars and really started getting into it because that was about 2020, 2021-ish when I started really listening to Alex more.
	And I was, you know, being an Austin resident for most of my life, I was...
	Absolutely not.
	Dude, even when you're sanding sawdust?
	Alright, well, alright.
	Fair enough.
	I did wear a mask.
	Okay.
	I did wear a mask.
	As long as you were using it appropriately.
	When you're supposed to wear a mask, I did.
	You know what?
	You got me.
	Fair enough.
	You got me?
	I was doing it then.
	And I...
	and when I was 14 I heard Alex for the first time when I was working my summer job in this city that's south of Austin.
	And it was during our lunch break, and I heard Alex for the first time on the radio.
	I know that you may have mentioned that before.
	is like he used to be mainly a radio kind of guy.
	Not so much band-op video, not so much...
	Yeah, yeah, exactly.
	And so my...
	Alex is a radio...
	Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
	So I had known of Alex.
	I never had any negative opinions of him, but I, um, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
	Yeah, I'd always had a very favorable opinion of him ever since, you know, that time when I was introduced to him.
	He was ranting about California's history of eugenics, which I then looked up when I got home after my...
	That age, 14. Wait, I still think you're like 25. No, I'm 30. Okay, yeah, see, time flies.
	Yeah, and so not to digress, but either way, I had known of Alex for a long time, and so after I was working this job for a while.
	You walked in at the perfect time.
	All I heard before I left was a recent war mask.
	Well, yes, but not in the way you think.
	Only to use a bong, dude.
	Oh, my bad.
	Have you ever done a gas mask bong?
	Absolutely.
	Oh, man.
	The glass is the best.
	I've never had the pleasure, no.
	But anyway, once you get my card, we can go buy one real quick so we can experience.
	Damn.
	That would be pretty tight.
	Don't fucking tell me.
	Yeah, what else can we buy with your car?
	Go to an army surplus store, get a gas mask.
	No, no, you just go to the head shop and buy one that's got a bowl connected.
	Okay, okay, okay, fair enough.
	It's the last time you smoked.
	It's been a while.
	It's been almost a year.
	Either way.
	Continue, continue.
	Either way.
	Before the black interrupted.
	Either way.
	You're black.
	No, I'm white, actually, but...
	Still can't see color.
	Still can't see color.
	He's the Jesse Lee Peterson skin color.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	JLP is my long-lost dad, so you know.
	Absolutely.
	Women think with their thoughts, Owen.
	Owen, Owen, Owen.
	I love JLP.
	So either way, I was familiar with Alex by the time I was, you know, in the year 2021, going through the COVID crisis, going through all that bullshit.
	And I one day...
	And I was just like, you know what?
	I'm done with this.
	I hate it.
	I hate waking up at 4.30 a.m.
	Monday through Friday.
	This sucks.
	I want to actually just do something else.
	I want to work on the morning show at InfoWars.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So I hit up Daria, and I was like basically – Oh, yeah.
	No, that's super cool.
	Dude, it sucked.
	It was awful.
	Hey, Sean, can you press play on this splash screen?
	It's on the laptop.
	It, uh...
	We got clips of me giving Alex Jones...
	Got me of doing the Brain Force Ultra thing when you and I were hosting.
	Yeah, you got that.
	But to just continue and wrap up, I was...
	I would rather work a job that I actually love, that I actually feel like I'm contributing towards something bigger than me.
	And so I had done some editing before then.
	I felt like I was more or less capable around that kind of stuff.
	I knew that, you know, with InfoWars, you've got to know how to cut ads.
	Ads were a big part of the broadcast.
	And so I was just like, okay, I'm going to cut an ad for InfoWars and use that as my resume, so to speak.
	Can I stop you here, right?
	Sure.
	Hey, you know, it's so rude.
	Look at him.
	just walked out.
	Can we just talk about how rude We're just talking to an empty chair.
	He just walked out.
	Unbelievable.
	And now he's giving people directions.
	Unbelievable.
	What?
	Why the fuck y 'all looking at him?
	No, no reason.
	Hey, quit talking shit.
	He just got back.
	Anyway.
	Anyway.
	So on my own, I made an ad that was – Klaus?
	It was Klaus.
	It was Klaus Schwab talking about how he can't sleep at night because he's just an evil bastard and he needs...
	I thought that was a real endorsement.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Oh, okay.
	That's how good you were at your job.
	Damn, all right, all right.
	That's how good you were.
	Well, I cut that ad.
	I sent it to Dariush, who forwarded it to Rob Du.
	And this guy.
	I can edit and stuff.
	They were like, okay, yep.
	And it was right at the window when Infowars was hiring because Owen on the war room had signaled that a couple of times.
	He said, hey, we're looking to expand.
	We're looking to hire.
	I was like, all right, this is my shot.
	Let's go.
	And so I cut that ad at the right time.
	I sent it to Daria.
	It went up to Rob Dewy.
	He's just like, okay, you can hire him, but he's your problem to Daria.
	Yeah, I got that with Thomas.
	Yeah, you can hire him, but he's your problem.
	Boom.
	Exactly.
	That's kind of how it goes.
	And so I came on board.
	Did you ever have someone come at you for something that – Somebody else did?
	Absolutely.
	It happens all the fucking time.
	People listen to the show.
	And then people think I'm asshole because I have to come back.
	It's like, bro, no, I just got my ass reamed and I'm being nice to you about it.
	Like, why are you even questioning it?
	Yeah, believe me.
	It's the whole thing.
	Love that.
	Love being a manager.
	Oh, shit, we're managers?
	We're supervisors?
	Not managers.
	We're producers?
	We're definitely middle management.
	We do something here.
	Middle management's tight.
	It's a tight place to be.
	Very tight.
	It's like the middle class.
	It's like tight, tight.
	It's not like loose.
	It's like tight.
	Oh.
	Oh.
	You're not Workaholics fans in here?
	Are you tight butthole right now?
	Don't be tight butthole.
	Talk about being loose butthole.
	No, tight butthole is tight.
	You're stuck up.
	No, you're not stuck.
	No, no, no.
	That's not.
	That's not.
	I don't know, man.
	You don't want loose butthole.
	No, you don't want the loose butthole.
	But you want the tight one?
	Yes, that's exactly what you want.
	You want the tight button.
	Okay, I got it wrong.
	I got it backwards then.
	Hey, it's Pride Month.
	I might have to throw that clip in here.
	No, no, no.
	Yeah, no loose butthole.
	No loose butthole.
	It's just flowing.
	I mean, it's Pride Month.
	Holy shit.
	It's Pride Month today, so, I mean, you're tracking directly with that right now.
	All right, Reese.
	Fuck Pride Month.
	What's your best?
	Pride moment.
	Yeah, so I just explained how I got hired, and that's how I came aboard.
	No, no, no, I'm just saying.
	I'm wrapping it up.
	I'm just wrapping it up.
	That was 2021, and ever since then, it's been a freaking rollercoaster, wild adventure.
	This has been the best job I've ever had.
	Just, like, a crazy time.
	So incredibly grateful to everyone here, everyone who's given me a chance, all the experiences I've had, the way that I've been able to contribute to the Infowar, and just, like, get all of this out there.
	It's been awesome.
	We couldn't do it without Reese.
	We could not do it without Reese.
	Straight up.
	Well, thank you, dude.
	It's been fucking awesome, man.
	All right, well, answer my damn question.
	What is your favorite moment at InfoWars?
	Fair enough, fair enough.
	So my favorite moment at InfoWars has to be the time that I went out as a cameraman on the battle tank for...
	Which one was the best?
	I was going to say...
	here's the best time on the battle tank, because I've been on like seven or eight.
	It was the time that you...
	Dude.
	What are you, a rookie or something?
	That's it?
	Maybe.
	Battle Tank aficionado.
	Dude.
	I'm actually the Battle Tank veteran.
	He's been on seven or eight times.
	Yeah, I know, but he still hasn't matched.
	100%.
	I'm like Battle Tank up here.
	He's like Battle Tank.
	Fair enough.
	You've earned the right to say that.
	Straight up.
	The best time I've been on the Battle Tank was when actually it was me, you, it was Owen, and security.
	And we went out to the, you know what I'm about to say.
	We went out to, in front of the Governor's Mansion one day.
	I actually thought you were going to say the strip glove.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I was just like, yeah, we went to the landing strip.
	Am I a bad person?
	Am I a bad person if I thought you were?
	We drove it through the wall, Kool-Aid man style, like, OH YEAH!
	We had so many strippers in the back of that InfoWars battle tank, it was fucking unbelievable, too.
	No, we went to, we went in front of, it was a, it was back a couple years ago when the state of Texas was fighting the trans kids kind of legislation.
	Ken Paxton and Abbott were like making legislation against trans kids surgery, right?
	And so this group of like 200, 300 trannies threw a rally in front of the governor's mansion to protest the government's action against trans kids.
	Trans kids, right?
	So we showed up.
	We did some bullhorning classically around the city of Austin.
	We get there.
	Right when we show up to the property, we're already getting like trannies running up to the tank, like attacking us, just like trying to do damage against us.
	We're just driving by.
	Sounds like the DLC to the Alex Jones video game.
	Yeah, straight up.
	No, no, it could have been a level.
	It could have been a level in the Alex Jones video game.
	It was that bad.
	It was that bad.
	It could be a level.
	It should have been.
	That's a great idea.
	Also, if we could get a clip of that right now.
	Well, yeah, we have it on band.video.
	I edited the video.
	We'll find it.
	We got those videos on band.video.
	You fucking heard it here.
	We got the tranny videos.
	An army of trans people attacking.
	And also, I love trans people.
	They're great.
	Oh, really?
	They're good.
	They're people.
	Trans lives matter.
	Everybody's lives matter.
	Okay, fair enough.
	I said that very meekly, but I do.
	Well, what happened was we showed up.
	We got resistance.
	Straight out of the gate.
	They were, like, coming up to the tank and, like, knocking on the tank, just being dicks or whatever.
	Their genitalia, I didn't know if I was.
	Maybe ornery.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And so we get there, and we go on foot, and we just crash this rally.
	That was the best part.
	We crash the rally.
	We walk in.
	We have like two or three security guards with us.
	Owen's like on point.
	Me and Rob are just having a great time.
	We're just like shooting everything.
	And they get up in our faces immediately because they know who we are.
	They're just like, oh, who are you with?
	They're doing the thing where they try to be.
	They put on the air of being diplomatic.
	Even though they hate us and they know they hate us, they're like, um, uh, uh, who are you with?
	And that weird, like, teenager puberty voice they get when they take too much hormones.
	It was, like, everywhere.
	And they're like, um, uh, uh, who are you with?
	Who are you with?
	Um, you can't be here.
	You can't.
	It was just awful.
	They didn't want to be on camera.
	That wasn't for us.
	Oh.
	That event was not for InfoWars.
	Is what you're saying.
	No, it was for us.
	It was for us, because it was gold.
	They didn't know it was for us?
	It was gold.
	And so we go there, and then pretty much immediately, Owen gets into this altercation with this one trainee.
	It was like male to female.
	And he, she, they, whatever, X, Zer, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, gets into an altercation with Owen.
	They're people, too.
	And then just, like...
	And then Owen does kind of a juke.
	He kind of goes, boom!
	And he runs.
	He sprints to get away from Jijer or whatever.
	And then Jijer sprints after Owen and then smacks his phone out of his hand.
	In the video, I edited the point where from the phone's perspective just gets knocked out.
	And then Owen was like, where did they go?
	And then they, zher zher, whatever, ran off into the crowd and disappeared, never seen from again.
	But that whole rally was so insane.
	Everyone was mobbing us, angry, shouting crazy shit at us.
	It was just like a great time all around.
	And funny enough, actually, the fun fact about this event, and then I'll kind of close with this.
	The fun...
	And then I look, and I see this big, like, six-foot-three dude with, like, a big, like, shaved head and, like, a red beard.
	And just, he had a bullhorn, and he was just, like, shouting shit.
	He was, like, on our side.
	And he was shouting, like, like, you guys, you people are fucking sick!
	He was just like going off on them.
	I was just like, And that was the first time InfoWars had actually interacted with him, was when I shot footage of him, and he kind of meandered towards us, and Owen was just like, "Hey, what's up, dude?"
	And he was just like, "Owen, I love you, man!" And he introduced himself to us for the first time, and was just like, "Dude, I'm out here.
	I'm shooting footage here.
	Like, dude, I love InfoWars." And he was just like, he was just all about us, and he was kind of a breath of fresh air.
	when it came to this rally.
	And it was just, I was just like, Reese's best one.
	Chases Owen here in a moment and knocks the phone out of his hand.
	Yeah, there I am.
	Oh, shit, I'm back there, too.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And so Owen is about to do like the juke move that I mentioned previously.
	Look at that.
	Yeah, yeah, tries to do it, and then he just starts laughing, goes, boom!
	He jukes!
	He jukes!
	It chases, and then you can see, BOOM!
	And then it gets knocked out, and it was just like...
	Assault!
	And then Jay Jim just disappears in the crowd, and then it's just over from there.
	Either way, as I was closing with, I was just saying, Alex Rosen was there.
	That was the first interaction the InfoWars network ever had an interaction with Alex Rosen, and I always thought he was freaking cool from day one, the first time I ever saw him.
	Because he was like, Owen!
	InfoWars!
	Owen!
	He was all about us.
	He was like an ally in that crowd.
	Who's Owen?
	Owen, um...
	Owen, um...
	Oh shit, what was his last name?
	Shrayer.
	Yeah, Matt Gaetz talked about him at one point.
	And so, yeah, to kind of close with that, I'm just going to wrap up here.
	This was the most fun day ever because, quite frankly, this day just kind of fueled my chaos, adrenaline junkie side of me where it was just like we are something about going out on shoots like this, going to events like this, it's a really rare opportunity for someone like me who's worked Sean, take Reese.
	Take Reese, Sean.
	See, I told you guys he was pointing fingers.
	Did you see how he points fingers?
	There you go.
	I was just going to say, it was this kind of day that really fed that adrenaline junkie side of me that just really loves being in the shit, being in the jungle, being where the action's at, and seeing how chaotic and crazy the left can be.
	And it was just, like, so much fun, even though it was a little dangerous, even though it was a little chaotic.
	It was just the best day.
	And so we eventually got the footage we needed.
	We exfiltrated out of there on the tank.
	We actually had two guys on motorcycles chase us on the tank while we were getting out of there.
	And we were just recording all that.
	It was so much fun.
	But, you know, as someone coming from working jobs where I was like, you know, working in call centers, working construction, working jobs that really didn't have.
	In that day alone.
	Made up for all the years of drudgery and bullshit that I had to put up with before working at InfoWars.
	And I am, what can I say?
	I mean, I'm forever grateful for this job, just even for that one day.
	And that's one day multiplied by the three-plus years so far that I've been here.
	What can I say?
	Like, seriously, I'm so freaking grateful that I've been able to work here, and it's just been awesome.
	So, yeah, that's it.
	That's it, man.
	Yeah, I 1,000% agree.
	And the guy who's switching the cameras right now.
	Oh, look.
	Yeah, let's do that.
	He's doing a great job.
	Great job.
	Great job.
	Also, we don't pay him to do this, so I don't know why you're pointing at him and snapping in his ear.
	You get what you pay for.
	He's a snapper.
	Who?
	Rob?
	Is it Aueros?
	He's a snapper.
	Hey, man.
	Aueros.
	Listen, listen.
	Stop it!
	Sometimes shit happens.
	I'm kidding.
	So, yes, Sam Copp, that's where you can find him.
	And Matt Weber, you have.
	I am the most awkward person.
	He's a gray man.
	Total gray man.
	I gotta respect it.
	So I appreciate y'all coming on.
	You don't have to go home.
	But I want to bring the switcher out here for my best moment.
	Okay.
	And, um...
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So y 'all want to play?
	So you're saying he has to leave?
	What are we rock, paper, sizzling?
	What are we scissoring for?
	No, no, I'm just going to...
	Yeah.
	That's fair enough.
	Shawty boy!
	I've been booted off the island.
	It's Sean's turn.
	So why are you leaving?
	You're leaving too?
	No.
	What?
	Well, somebody has to switch and...
	Atta, baby.
	Yeah, thank you.
	Shawnee boy, get in here.
	I thought he was switching.
	So this is literally a Japanese fire drill for you guys.
	This is one of the, you know, the oldest studio, but the newest revived studio.
	And it wouldn't happen if it wasn't for the crew.
	Wanting to help me out and do my show.
	So I have two other people who are going to jump in right now.
	And they're taking so long because they're talking to a prego.
	And there's Rob Dew.
	There's an open chair, dude.
	You want to sit down?
	There you go.
	Dew will sit down.
	And Sean.
	Oh, shit.
	Sorry, Sean.
	Sean took too long.
	Look at this.
	You can't keep Matt Weber off.
	No, you can't.
	Are we still live?
	We're still going?
	We're still going.
	Also, can I add an anecdote?
	Do you notice the difference between my best day and Reese's best day?
	Ooh, wow.
	Had nothing to do with trans people.
	Sometimes those are the worst days.
	They're just trying to do their own thing.
	You want to hear my best day at InfoWars?
	Yes, everybody.
	This is Rob Du.
	We wanna know what Rob Dew's best day is.
	My best day at InfoWars was overshadowed by...
	Fuck, the Orlando trans?
	The Orlando trans shooter.
	Pulse, Pulse, Pulse.
	Pulse nightclub.
	Let me ask you this.
	You want to give Reese shit about his best day being at a trans rally, but yet you know the name of the nightclub that the trans shooter shot up.
	I bet you know the name of the trans shooter.
	I don't commit those people's names to memory.
	Who was it?
	Michael Hastings?
	No.
	He's dead.
	He can't even sue me.
	We'll have to figure out why you're tossing shade at Michael Hastings.
	That's the first name that came to my mind.
	But do you know the video that I shot before?
	I was at Bilderberg in Dresden, Germany.
	Oh shit, that's right.
	And I'm sitting there and I'm interviewing a guy that looks like the gyro pilot from Mad Max.
	He had one of those hats on with goggles.
	And he was getting hassled by the cops for chalking messages on the street.
	That's how you guys communicated at Davos?
	No, listen.
	This is Bilderberg.
	And then who jogs into view but General Petraeus?
	And I go, I'm sitting there, I go, gotta go.
	And I run over, and I go around the car, and I, boom, I get it.
	General Petraeus, one quick question, and that was all he needed to start running.
	And then I started running.
	He was running for you.
	Oh, and I started running after him.
	That's what he trained for his whole life.
	I had our camera guy positioned literally at the right spot who gets us running by like this.
	He's like panning as we run by like a race car.
	And I'm going, one quick question.
	It was like a cross country race.
	General Petraeus.
	And I had my suit on and my jeans and I'm running after him.
	In full pursuit.
	Yeah, full pursuit.
	Another guy got two photos of it that I turned into a postcard, actually.
	Because I'm like, yeah, so it's got two sides on it.
	It's ridiculous.
	Anyway, I chase him up to the entrance and he goes in.
	And basically I asked him if Hillary Clinton should resign because she had an email scandal and he had an email scandal and he resigned.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	In fact, at the time, I didn't even have a question in my head until I saw him.
	I'm like, oh shit, I have to come up with a question as I'm chasing General Petraeus.
	And it was wild.
	But that was one of those moments.
	And then...
	And I remember I got a shot of Alex Karp.
	I go, when do you guys take over the world?
	And he smiled.
	He thought that was funny.
	And then this other lady, I'm riding up the escalator with him.
	Alex Karp is the CEO of Palantir, which is this company that wants to see into the future.
	And he's been a Bilderberg member for a while.
	But I remember riding up with this other lady, and I think I asked her, I go, did y 'all have babies on the menu?
	Because she was laughing about it.
	I was like, well, did you?
	She was like, baby what?
	And then while we were shooting this video, that Pulse nightclub shooting happens.
	But for us, it's the daytime.
	For you guys, it's the nighttime, the night before.
	Yeah.
	And so we shot some videos on it, put it out there.
	There's General Petraeus right there.
	He's a jogger.
	Big time jogger.
	In fact, you can find the video if you go to my channel, Funky Boy PD.
	You can find my channel, and I put it to Chariots of Fire, and it loops for the entire song until the very end.
	One quick question, General Petraeus.
	So it's funny, there's a guy named Tillman.
	Pat Tillman?
	No, no.
	His name was Tillman.
	I can't say his last name.
	It's like Konectil or something.
	Pat Tillman's dead?
	Yeah.
	But Tillman got a couple Bilderbergers at the train station in Austria.
	Like, confronted them and was like giving them the third degree.
	And then he gave us all this footage, and we put it on InfoWars, and he interviewed him, and we drank some beers, some Austrian beers.
	But it was...
	And so Bilderberg's going on right now.
	In Austria, we're in the middle of nowhere at Telfs, which is like where they do, there's General Petrae.
	That was actually, that was probably Tillman going after him.
	Yeah.
	Because that's in Germany, and that's what he's, that's his jogging stuff.
	So everybody, look, he takes off jogging.
	So I get him later.
	I get him later.
	If you guys look up my channel, there he goes.
	That's the exact clothes he was wearing.
	He takes off.
	Huh?
	What's the channel?
	Funky Boy PD on YouTube.
	And then you've got to scroll down to find the Chariots of Fire.
	Yeah, hopefully that one doesn't get bad.
	It used to be on Alex Jones' channel, but it got, you know, deleted.
	But that's the exact clothes he's wearing, taking off jogging.
	But see, I kept up with him.
	In fact, I slowed down my pace just to make it look good.
	Of course you did.
	For the cameras.
	This is going to give me epilepsy.
	I can't watch this.
	You know what I like?
	Look at Germany.
	Germany's got these brick-paved roads.
	This whole square is paved in bricks.
	It's amazing.
	This is Dresden.
	This was bombed by the United States.
	How do you call Funky Boy PD?
	Just like you said.
	F-U-N-K-Y-B-O-I-P-D.
	And then look for channels.
	B-O-I.
	B-O-I.
	It's been a long...
	Not BOI.
	What are you...
	Oh, this is my stuff right here.
	Chariots of Fire version.
	This is it.
	So look, you saw him in the same clothes.
	There he is.
	Look, there's the shot.
	There he goes.
	Look at that shot.
	Classic InfoWars shirt on.
	You can do Iron Man.
	And I had my jacket shoved in my camera bag.
	Chasing him around the corner.
	And we just repeat it as it goes on and on.
	But yeah, one quick question, General Petraeus.
	When you go to the end of it, you see me talking to the guy who was from Mad Max, the gyrocopter captain.
	I'm literally talking to the gyrocopter captain from Mad Max.
	It's so freaking weird.
	And that was just one of the many adventures in Europe I've done with InfoWars.
	But yeah, that's the former head of the CIA.
	Right there.
	I'm chasing his ass, trying to get him to answer a question, and he doesn't want to answer it.
	And I get all the way up to the door at the end of this clip, and the guy goes, uh-uh-uh.
	And I stop.
	But, like, right here, it's all, like, Charlie Skelton and people sitting over here watching us chase them.
	And so this one guy's got these amazing photos of it that I turned into the postcard.
	I like how you didn't cut the corner there.
	That was really challenging.
	Yeah, you know.
	Well, you know.
	You could have cut the corner.
	I don't want to, like, kick his legs out from under him.
	He's a former CIA agent.
	He could probably poison darts.
	Like one of those teeth, you know, that he just breathes a breath.
	And I think he had little hand weights as he was running.
	But that's, you know.
	Betraeus, Betraeus, right there.
	Look how wide his legs are.
	I'm a jogger.
	Jogging's tight, actually, though.
	You know, I don't jog.
	I'm a swimmer.
	I'm a biker and a swimmer.
	I'm a biker and a swimmer because my knees are bad.
	I have bad knees.
	Tell the fans how many miles you bike when you go out for one ride.
	Between 18 and 22 is what I did.
	The last time you showed me on your phone was at 26.7.
	I could have been.
	I do long ones.
	I haven't done it in a while.
	Because I've been swimming.
	Now that the pool's warmed up, I'm swimming.
	He's going to start competing.
	You know what I'm doing, right?
	I'm already practicing for the Senior PGA Tour.
	Right here, watch.
	You sound like you're super serious about it.
	Look, gyrocopter.
	Gyrocopter right there.
	That's the guy from Mad Max right there.
	Holy shit.
	And I'm sitting there interviewing him, and he's getting hassled by the cops for drawing shit on chalk.
	And then I'm like, excuse me, I gotta go.
	And then I come around this, and boom, I come around here, and there he is.
	One quick question, General Petrae.
	And he tries to outrun me, and I come around.
	Not today, bitch.
	You thought you were going to get away from me?
	He was taking out his headphones.
	He's like, nope, they're going back in.
	I'm running.
	Nothing is better than chasing someone who's running away from you.
	That's the best feeling.
	I hate to say it, but it's like, someone's running away from you.
	It's like, come here.
	Here's my shot.
	It's going to cut to my shot here in a second as we chase him around the corner.
	There you go.
	And look, he's going to go in.
	He's going to run in.
	There he goes.
	There he goes.
	No, no, no, no.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	And that was like, what's the date on that video?
	I don't even know.
	2016?
	No, that was a little later than 2016.
	It's like 2015, 2016.
	Was that pre-Trump?
	I don't think that was pre-Trump.
	I think that was post-Trump, right?
	That was a post-Trump rally?
	Post-Trump Bilderberg meeting?
	No, no, no.
	Seven years ago, which is 2017.
	Yeah.
	2017?
	I thought it was 2015, 2016.
	I might have put it up in 2017 after it got removed.
	Hey, I'll tell you about one time when Saurabh was like, oh yeah, I didn't have an idea of what I was going to ask him until I was on the road.
	One time, I folded really hard.
	Is this same people?
	We're going to talk about same people.
	This is good.
	So, OK.
	So I alluded earlier in the interview to being on the road with a Richard Reeves.
	And Richard Reeves is like a gorilla guy who really had – He's not a journalist.
	He is an activist, really, ahead of a journalist.
	And so I actually came into the job, you know, as a guy who was a cameraman, and I was never, like, to address, like, the people that I was filming.
	You know what I mean?
	I didn't really want to interact with my subjects or anything like that.
	But anyways, I'm there.
	we're on the rope line and Jeb Bush is like asking him 9-11 questions, like right there after Bush, like gives like a, a, a presidential debate, I remember the Warhawks.
	Kacinich, you know, was there.
	And, you know, he gets off after talking, and Richard Reeves gets at him, right, about the 9-11 questions.
	And Jeb Bush is like, who you work for?
	And Richard Reeves is like, infowars.com!
	And then he goes, he turns to me and he goes, who do you work for?
	Well, no, he answered Richard's question, and then you asked the question.
	He goes, who do you work for?
	Oh, I go, oh, same people.
	You know what I mean?
	We gave Weber so much shit for that.
	At least those who were watching that were like, same people?
	Same people?
	What the fuck is same people?
	But I was caught off guard.
	And he asked again, and that's when I realized, oh, I've got to muster up my courage right now because I'm talking to Jeb Bush.
	So you hear it in my voice.
	I kind of buck up a little bit.
	I'm like, Infowars.com.
	That's the way I said it.
	I sound like such a dork.
	It was too late.
	We already got up with same people.
	Same people.
	I was such a dork.
	That was his nickname for a while, was same people.
	Same people.
	What's up?
	Same people.
	What's up, same people?
	It's just one of them things.
	It just happens, man.
	'Cause everything happens on the fly so fast here all the time.
	At night, you think to yourself like, oh, if I had confronted If I could go back and do it again, Yeah.
	Right at every time.
	10 out of 10. But no, no, I was a little dork.
	So green at that time.
	I was green.
	And you were there as support for Richard Reeves.
	Well, you know, so I was this camera guy and everything like that, but it was interesting because it was like the difference in what journalism is today.
	And what, you know, it is that people are looking for today versus, you know, what I thought, you know, my idea of what journalism was, right?
	Richard Reeves was actually doing something where he was going and making the elite uncomfortable, right?
	which is something that's a tenet of journalism, right?
	There's a saying about, you know...
	Right.
	And, you know, there are just, there are very few people who will go out of their way to ask an uncomfortable question.
	To, you know, try to get someone on camera, you know, telling you the truth.
	And it just, that's not the way that a lot of mainstream journalists operate nowadays, right?
	they are willing to play the game and climb the ladder, right?
	Whereas people here at Infowars...
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	They throw softballs.
	We throw fast curveballs.
	We throw a splitter at your ass.
	Yeah.
	At your face.
	At your face.
	Yeah, it's going to break off to the fucking strike zone, bitch.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, that's InfoWars.
	InfoWars is the Kenny Powers of MLB.
	Absolutely.
	Kenny Powers.
	I love Kenny Powers.
	So, there's a new pitcher.
	He's like a rookie.
	They had him on Let's see.
	Wow, they have a lot of shit updated since I saw this this morning.
	Sometimes I feel like that's actually just...
	So they posted this on Citizen Free Press.
	Sometimes I think dude.
	No, I do like it, though.
	Citizen Free Press.
	Citizen Free what?
	Press.
	Oh.
	I feel like it's a dude's name.
	Is that a.com or a.org,.net?
	It looks like a Drudge Report.
	It's like Drudge Report, but for real conservatives.
	Oh, the Citizen Free Press.
	Yeah, Citizen Free Press.
	The guy named Kane runs it.
	literally the first time.
	He posted a video of a pitcher from the Pittsburgh Pirates who was like, Like, incredible amount.
	He was striking.
	I think the first six batters he faced, he struck out.
	But they were saying conservatives love this guy, and I don't know anything about him.
	Oh, we have to figure it out.
	Find his name and we'll fucking And I can't see anyway.
	Hey, look up Pittsburgh.
	Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher.
	Yeah.
	Fuck it, never mind.
	I'll get it right here.
	I'll get it on my phone.
	Hold on, hold on.
	I'll get it right here.
	Doc him.
	I'll get it right now.
	I love the crew, but...
	I love Alex.
	I love the crew.
	Oh, shit.
	He does love the crew.
	He does.
	I think.
	So I'm telling you, man, my...
	So when you watch shows from like 10, 12 years ago...
	Like 10, 12 years ago, it was a couple cuts, maybe a video if he threw to it, but it wasn't B-roll, it wasn't many articles.
	There were some articles, but not like the articles that we're doing now.
	It would be like the article he was covering.
	Now it's like 10 articles about what he's talking about, plus some B-roll and maybe a volcano shot with a drone.
	It's so epic, and it's all on the fly.
	That's what I...
	We do all this shit on the fly, guys.
	I'm one of the researchers back there.
	There's two or three of us.
	They get that we do it on the fly.
	Guys, we do this shit on the fly.
	Alex asked for something.
	And when he says, oh shit, the crew brought that up.
	Yeah, we did.
	And sometimes we don't get it in the time frame he wants.
	Yeah.
	Well, and you're working against a search engine that is, like, working against you.
	Exactly.
	Like, the search engine is not your friend at this point.
	That's the biggest thing that I think.
	The search engine used to work.
	It used to work.
	Until about 2018, 2019, you could search something and you would find it.
	There we go.
	They still work okay.
	What?
	They work okay.
	Pirates, Fino.
	Oh, yeah.
	Paul Skinny's.
	Yes.
	Plans on Serving Country and Military.
	Oh, wow.
	Look at that.
	Look at that.
	So MLB on YouTube put...
	And he's striking people out left and right.
	Back in the day, I was an all-star.
	First baseman.
	In my younger days.
	Yeah, I was a first baseman.
	I was left-handed.
	I totally thought you were a shortstop.
	He looks like a shortstop.
	I'm a left-hander.
	I'm a first base.
	I was good at stretching.
	I could catch things off the hop.
	Off the hop?
	Off the hop.
	You gotta catch it off the hop.
	I would catch stuff off the hop when my head turned.
	Atta, baby.
	Close your eyes.
	No, no, no.
	Off the hop?
	Oh, you know what?
	I went to high school with a kid, got caught with a ball off the hop, and his eye swole up, you know, super bad.
	And the first thing he said was, I think I lost my contact.
	Jimmy.
	Could be stuck to that.
	That's not what you need to be worried about right now.
	When I played tee ball, I was right-handed and I was playing catcher.
	And I really remember, let's see, going to catch the ball with this hand and it, And I went back.
	I went back, and I remember looking up, and my coaches were there looking at me like, you okay?
	You okay?
	That was T-ball.
	And I'm like, oh, I'm no good.
	I can't play this game.
	And then the next year, I went, and a coach goes, I think you might be left-handed.
	And he switched me around, and boom, that was it.
	It was like, oh, eureka.
	But it's weird.
	So that sort of thing happens.
	You're working with an older person, a younger person, and he sees something.
	He's like, wait a minute.
	Why don't you do it this way?
	And there's a lot of things you could apply that to.
	Sure.
	Of course.
	But, you know, in that case, it was baseball, and it was, like, going from right to left-handed.
	And when I went to left-handed, I was hitting the ball, I was catching the ball, I was throwing the ball.
	It was completely different.
	But I write right-handed, so I don't understand how it all works.
	Actually, I'm a left-eye.
	Vaccine brain damage.
	I'm a left-eye dominant person, but I'm a right-handed person, which, like, whenever I'm shooting or doing things like that, it's, like, it's really weird because a lot of times I like to line up with my left eye.
	Rather than my right.
	That's how right handers shoot.
	Like, you don't really shoot, like, right?
	Like, you're on the scope?
	I use my left eye.
	I don't think I use my right eye.
	I don't even use the sights.
	Fuck that shit.
	Oh, you're a fucking gangster, huh?
	No, yeah.
	Double eyes.
	Double eyes.
	Shotgun, Sal.
	Straight up.
	Straight up.
	So there's a trick.
	Use the nose.
	That's the trick.
	Oh, the nose knows?
	Well, you know, when you're projecting down like a barrel and you've got both eyes open, right, you know, that kind of...
	Yeah.
	You'd be surprised at how good you are.
	Okay.
	Let me try that out.
	You'd be surprised.
	Bro, we have some legends in the building.
	Wes just showed up.
	We got Wilson back there.
	We got Greg on the switcher.
	I jumped back on it.
	Derek is somewhere.
	Alex is still sleeping, taking a nap.
	This is fucking great.
	Derek's back there.
	24-7.
	Also, hey, can we delete this?
	I uploaded the video, by the way.
	You can go to it.
	Just cut me out.
	I'm not cutting you out.
	This is going in raw.
	Same people's going in.
	Don't worry.
	We don't cut shit out.
	Is this InfoWars last broadcast?
	Patriots rally behind Alex Jones and crew.
	Hey, my name is Adrian Dittman.
	Signing off.
	Wow.
	Breaking deep state attempts to shut down InfoWars headquarters last night.
	You getting out?
	You know what time is it?
	It's 9.38.
	Eastern time?
	It's been a long day.
	No.
	Okay.
	You fucking Chicagoan?
	Get out of here!
	What do you mean?
	It's central time in Chicago right now?
	You said eastern.
	Hey, before I leave, can I talk about something that I'm actually truly passionate about, which is standard time?
	I wrecked all this one.
	What does it mean called InstaHart?
	Have you ever heard of it?
	Well, we're going to get to that, but it takes a second.
	It takes a second.
	It takes a second.
	Just wait.
	All right.
	Matt has a standard time rant for you.
	No, it really is just that.
	Okay, yeah.
	We should, out of all the things I am most actually, like, I think we can accomplish in my lifetime, And that's the way it ought to be.
	That's the way things ought to be.
	And it's a goal.
	It's a goal.
	And I think if we set goals that we can attain, we are going to take our country back.
	And we're going to start with standard time.
	Standard time.
	Hold on.
	What is standard time?
	Hey, you can take this principle and you can apply it to your life.
	You set the goals that are within reach.
	So everywhere it's 7 a.m. at the same time?
	No, no, no.
	Standard time is not daylight savings time.
	Oh, right, right, right.
	It's remembering daylight savings time from the equation.
	Daylight savings time is a...
	No, we don't want to do that.
	We fall back and we're done.
	I like fallback.
	We like that fallback.
	You're not going to get as much evening.
	You're going to get the same amount of light.
	I'll tell you what.
	I'm not going to rip you off on the light factor.
	Say, man, I'm a grower.
	I need 12 hours of light and 12 hours of sun.
	You know what I'm saying?
	It's going to happen if you live.
	The vegetative state needs 18 hours.
	Certain days.
	The flowering stage needs 12 hours.
	I'm not ripping you off on the light with the David Savings site.
	But standard time is the white.
	I'm going to hold you accountable.
	And guess what?
	Mexico.
	did it before we did.
	Mexico is actually doing pretty great.
	Also, wild story.
	Hey, for toxic culture, I'm going to give you the shock awe that you tuned in for, right?
	You guys want shock factor.
	Guess what?
	I just went to Monterey and AV is audio-video, guys.
	Yeah, that's what it means.
	And so sometimes I send things to people, and it's cables that are like a bundle of cables that someone could trip over on a stage, and it's really nothing that's ever really that big of a deal.
	10, 12 days ago in Monterey, runner-up for mayor.
	Is on stage with nine other people.
	The wind.
	No, no, no.
	This isn't the gun violence.
	This isn't the gun violence.
	This is an AV thing.
	There is a stage and the wind, there's a sudden gust of wind that comes, that sweeps through this town, blows everything, and then the stage just straight up collapses.
	Oh, you were there for that?
	Kills nine.
	No, I rolled up into Monterey where this whole thing went down like four days after it happened.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	The stage collapses like it's nothing.
	Right.
	Oh, well, what had happened was that it had been anchored...
	Right.
	Which, you know, that's also another thing I'm crazy about.
	Matt is very big on safety chains.
	Every time I'm about to hang a light, make sure you have a safety chain on there.
	Every light that I hang, I think that someday...
	What is this like with no diffusion?
	That one doesn't have diffusion.
	You gave me that light, so this is on you.
	Wild.
	Take that principle.
	Apply it to your life.
	Anything can happen at any time.
	Don't take it for granted.
	You could be the runner-up for mayor in a Mexican villa.
	And you could get shot in the back of the head.
	Or the stage will collapse on you.
	InfoWarriors, be good.
	Love you.
	Thank you.
	In post, in post, in post, add that.
	Add that video.
	It's very shocking.
	Actually, lead with that.
	Lead with this clip.
	I'm going to try.
	The same people Jeb Bush clip?
	Same people.
	Alright, Shawty boy, where's Sean at?
	What the fuck?
	Alright, that's fine.
	So, I will say I have quite a...
	I have white privilege.
	I don't know if you've noticed, but I got white privilege.
	You got raw privilege.
	And I have quite a few memorable moments.
	My very, very favorite, I'll wait until Sean gets in here because it's so wholesome.
	It just shows how Alex is such a great person.
	It's crazy.
	But my second favorite, I guess, was the Million Magamarch.
	And I'm in...
	We're going to a cross street.
	Is this in November or December?
	November.
	Okay, the first one.
	The first one, yeah.
	And I'm in...
	And we go to this cross-section.
	He's like, hey, Rob, get a shot of that!
	And he looks back, and he looks right at me, and his face goes like, you're not Rob, but you're Rob.
	And I'm like, no problem, boss!
	So I get the long view of the street where there's so many people out there.
	But it was just so funny.
	He said he just thought a Rob was there.
	And he thought it was you.
	turns around and it's me and it's just like...
	He didn't even flinch.
	I did get a good shot of that, which is, But when we were up at the Supreme Court looking down, and this is an hour after Alex had spoke, there were still people walking up.
	And it was amazing.
	In tight, pulling back, and you keep pulling back.
	See, that's the shot you probably wanted, and I was just like, wait, what, me?
	Oh, okay!
	Well, you probably had it with an iPhone.
	I did.
	I had it with the Sony HD camera.
	Yeah, for sure.
	I'm a big purveyor of having both the iPhone and the Sony HD camera to get Yeah, it's Warhammer.
	In Warhammer, you've got to go with two cameras.
	Yo, what's up, bro?
	Yeah, I'll put you on right now.
	Yeah, you're on the microphone.
	Is that Harrison?
	Yeah.
	This is toxic culture.
	We do whatever the fuck we want.
	Hell yeah.
	But I'll meet you if you want to talk.
	I don't have the wrong one.
	What's up?
	Yeah, basically, I just think I left something there.
	I was wondering if you could check for me.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	I got you.
	You got new and Sean taking over for me.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	Okay, here we go.
	This is InfoWars last broadcast.
	Thank you for watching.
	This has been the InfoWars last broadcast.
	Thank you for tuning in and being a viewer all these years.
	If people don't know, American Journal, he is the voice of American Journal.
	You're listening to the American Journal.
	With your boy, Sean Mitchell.
	Your B-O-I.
	Your boy.
	B-O-I.
	What is it?
	It's Funky Boy.
	B-O-I.
	Funky Boy, so Funky Boy Productions is my What do you mean?
	Why are you laughing at it?
	No, it's the best name ever.
	It's catchy.
	It's catchy.
	I have the best logo.
	It's Gollum playing the bass guitar wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses.
	He jumps down and plays a fucking badass bass lick.
	He jumps down?
	Nobody can touch that.
	Nobody can touch that.
	And if you go to my channel, you can see it.
	Okay, okay.
	It's there.
	We've successfully hijacked the show.
	No, no.
	Grundyans has their own channel.
	Okay, okay.
	You should plug Grundyans.
	Well, I haven't started season three yet.
	What gave you the idea for Grunga?
	Where was the inception?
	Many, many, many, many, many years ago.
	So this is before John Kerry ran for president.
	Against George Bush.
	I'm tracking.
	That was before I was born.
	We're at the beach.
	And me and my sister find these little trigger puppets.
	I have the dolphin and she has the killer whale.
	And we're getting them to talk.
	But we're making voices.
	Did you buy them in the SkyMall magazine?
	No, no, no.
	We bought them at the beach.
	And so I bought them.
	And I had like, I don't know, like eight of these.
	And I had them in a box.
	And I wrote on the side, grunnions.
	And then I put it up in my shelf.
	And it sat there literally until the pandemic.
	So I remember telling a friend of mine.
	My friend, the Space Pope.
	I think I missed something there.
	Yeah, no, that's a long story in itself.
	Anyway, we're driving to Is that the logo?
	No, no, no, no.
	That's just a thing.
	But you can find my...
	It's white with the guy coming in.
	And you can find it.
	That's just my channel.
	That's my channel logo because I had nothing else going on.
	But that's like one of my bands were playing at a show.
	Oh, for real?
	Yeah.
	A long time ago.
	This is in mini DV.
	Oh.
	Mini DV.
	Kick my feet up here.
	So, so, I'm like, I want to do this political puppetry stuff with these puppets.
	He's like, oh, that's great.
	Never did anything with it.
	Then, the pandemic happens.
	I'm in my garage in 2020.
	And I'm like, oh.
	And I pull out the thing, and it said Grunion's on the side.
	Oh, shit.
	And I opened it up, and I'm like, oh, shit.
	Time capsule.
	I go, well, I'm going to do it tonight.
	So it was like at 1 a.m. at night, and I do the pilot, which is talking about Melinda Gates' upside-down cross when she wore that upside-down cross during the thing.
	And it's Sean.
	The killer whale, which at the time I didn't have him named Sean, but he talked like he was a surfer.
	And then Alan Grunion, who kind of talks like this.
	And so they were looking at Melinda Gates' Upside Down Cross and then reading the Snopes thing.
	I just did it all on the fly.
	Boom, put it together.
	I think Owen showed it.
	Why didn't you ask me to voice my part?
	Well, at the time, he wasn't named Sean until...
	Well, that's, that's Happy Gilmore.
	But that's, you know, you can expect much more.
	Sean's a little more laid back, man.
	He's not stupid.
	He's just got a little bit of a lisp and he believes in this woke shit.
	You know, that's how it goes.
	For sure.
	For sure, man.
	So then I did that episode, and then the next episode was all about masks, and it was with Karen Karanofsky doing her talk show.
	And then the third episode is when I'm like, oh, I'm going to do a story.
	And then the story was all about racism for season one.
	Season two, the Grunians, the Dimtardians come down from Planet Dimtard, and they give everyone free health care.
	They give everyone free health care.
	So Dimtardian free health care.
	I've been keeping it warm for you.
	Season three, we're going to finish up on that because I kind of died in the middle.
	You die in the middle of the season?
	Well, I don't remember that.
	I had like, I've had like two or three relapses of COVID, not nearly as bad as my first one, but I've had a couple where I'm like, Yeah, well, you know, this shit works in mysterious ways.
	This COVID stuff, whatever.
	But I have so much medicine now, I just start That's always worked.
	It's worked since I started taking it, yeah.
	I might not feel good, but instead of being out for two months, I'm out for not even a day.
	Real note, though.
	The nebulizer.
	Oh, my God.
	The thing that you told me about.
	Okay, hey, save me.
	Yeah, and even also just a touch, a couple of drops of silver.
	You can do silver.
	And iodine.
	Iodine?
	Yeah.
	Hydrogen peroxide.
	Hydrogen peroxide.
	Yeah, that's what Mike Adams recommended.
	Hydrogen peroxide with iodine and silver.
	Dude, Mike Adams thought it was going to be the end of the world, man.
	But that nebulizer, though, whenever you do have, it is a noticeable difference.
	That is the worst type of cold to have.
	It's like the chest cold.
	The one where you're coughing all the time.
	And you can't sleep.
	Oh, the worst, right?
	Because you can't sleep to recover.
	Did you guys find my logo?
	Canembulizer's where it's at.
	Take that as a God, no.
	That's bad for you.
	You don't want to use hand sanitizer.
	No.
	No, no.
	We huff that.
	That's for huffing, yeah.
	We inhaled the bleach.
	Do you guys drink the bleach?
	Do you guys drink the bleach?
	I've never drank the bleach.
	Chlorine dioxide?
	I'm taking a shot.
	I've done, I've done the chlorine dioxide.
	Okay.
	That's how I say it.
	You never know.
	I'm drinking bleach.
	I don't care.
	I don't care what you say.
	Your system's better for it.
	Hey, it's like it disinfected.
	The bleach.
	The bleach smell.
	I still think it's good.
	I like the bleach smell.
	I like the gasoline smell.
	I like all the smells If you sniff them too much, it would make you go really dumb.
	I mean, you know, it's definitely something you've got to watch out for.
	I've never been too susceptible to smells.
	Like some people in the office?
	Can we talk about the worst employees ever?
	There was a guy.
	We're not going to say his name.
	I didn't bring him to anybody.
	He's going to come for you, dude.
	He did have a particular odor.
	Who?
	Someone who we cannot name because we're not trying to be mean.
	But if you've ever had a stinky co-worker.
	Well, I might be one of them.
	Having to tell someone that they're stinky.
	It's the worst.
	No one wants to break that news, right?
	Hey, you got bad breath.
	You know what I mean?
	That's not fun.
	I heard that story from multiple people being like how you had to lay it down on them.
	And then I guess he came back and it was still a problem.
	And we knew what the source was.
	We knew what the source was because he was bringing it to work with him in the form of lunch.
	In form of the only thing you ever ate?
	An unleavened type of...
	No, not Unleaven.
	Unleaven would be But it was a weird bread.
	And he was into making it himself.
	It was like his own dough.
	He was contributing to the dough.
	And made him smell a little bit spicy.
	Spicy.
	I guess it just gets into your skin, you know?
	We almost had to deodorize him.
	Shake him down.
	Listen, listen, listen.
	People in this profession aren't always concerned about being into...
	There it is, right there.
	See what I tell you?
	Golem playing the bass guitar.
	I had to show them.
	Funky Bowie.
	This is a Funky Bowie production.
	Funky Bowie production.
	That's it.
	That's Boom.
	That's it.
	Boom.
	Play that music.
	And look, this is like mini-DV.
	This is old school.
	My sister drew that picture, though.
	I like that picture.
	You said that was Golem?
	Yeah, from The Hobbit.
	Lord of the Rings?
	Yeah.
	That's Golem?
	Yeah.
	That looks like a, I don't know, a frog dude.
	I can take that as a Golem.
	If you watch Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit, the Rankin Bass Hobbit from the 70s, that's the same.
	Wow.
	I don't know.
	When I see that, I don't think Golem.
	He seems cool.
	He's got the jacket, you know?
	Yeah, no.
	He's like a cool Golem.
	In this one, he's not bad.
	He's not trying to get the ring of power.
	He's trying to play the funk.
	Okay.
	I can see it.
	It's Quality Creature.
	Quality Creature.
	Funky Golem.
	Funky Golem.
	Yeah, Funky Golem.
	Anyway, like, I just wanted to prove it existed because they were like, the crew back, the crew's great, but they couldn't find it for shit.
	God, do you have me to pull it up by our cell phones?
	Text them the link.
	Yeah.
	Forget it.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Anyway, Rob, are you coming back in?
	Are we done?
	Are we wrapping this up?
	How many hours have we been on so far?
	We're all silly here.
	And we would like to call this segment today, we can title the show, Throwing Away Our Futures.
	Well, you know, we are what we do at the end of the day.
	And, you know, if people don't like the work we do, that's fine.
	Fuck them.
	Yeah, that's how I feel.
	You know, because we're kind of wounded in critical condition.
	One camera only has nine minutes left.
	Oh, shit.
	We probably have nine minutes.
	Oh, because it's on battery power.
	Yeah, we do.
	All right, well, fuck it.
	We're just going to go until we can go.
	Hey, Sean, what's up?
	Hey, how's it going?
	How long have you been here?
	Since nine.
	55 minutes?
	You've been sitting in that chair for 55 minutes.
	Alright, so now it's time for us to share my favorite story.
	And it's my favorite story because you were a part of it.
	So you can actually, you have testament to it.
	I got testings?
	I hope so.
	You're a fucking male, right?
	You're a white male!
	Do you have microplastics in your testings?
	Mine are free.
	Free?
	Microplastic free.
	Oh, yeah?
	You don't?
	Oh, it must be nice.
	I got it.
	I got it taken out.
	You got your testes taken out?
	I'm just kidding.
	But anyway, okay.
	So one day we were here and I was finishing editing and I was like, all right, Sean.
	I was like, we should go.
	We need to go get some food.
	It's time to fucking eat.
	I'm fucking hungry.
	Sean is like, he clocks out and you hear the loud ass clocked out.
	And Sean's like, oh, hold on, hold on.
	I can't go.
	I don't have my wallet.
	And all of a sudden, Jones just emerges from his office.
	He's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	Who was that?
	You could tell he was dead asleep.
	And the clocked out woke him up, and he was like, who's that?
	Sean and Rob?
	Hold on, hold on.
	Come here, come here, come here.
	No, no, no, no.
	You're fine.
	And he proceeds to, he's like, dinner's on me tonight.
	He gave us $200 to go have dinner that night.
	Straight out of his wallet.
	Wow.
	And he gave it to Sean.
	I'm like, Sean, hold on, bro.
	That's one of those for me.
	You know that, right?
	Hold on.
	I'm the one who woke him up.
	Friend tags.
	Did you go to FOGO?
	No.
	Where did we go?
	I don't even remember where we went.
	Triple A, maybe?
	No.
	That's a Derek thing.
	888.
	Tripple.
	Tripple.
	I think we went to...
	Maybe one of the bars.
	It's my favorite spot.
	No.
	Moore.
	We went to Moore.
	Oh, Moore, okay.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Austin, Texas will love more run by Russian.
	Yeah, that was about two, three years ago.
	Wow.
	But, yeah, Alex Jones woke up from a dead sleep, heard our voices, knew exactly who it was, and was like, no, no, no, dinner's on me tonight, boys.
	Here, here, here.
	All right, I'll see y 'all later.
	I just walked away.
	Everybody who wants to hate on Alex and says he's such an asshole or he did this, he's one of the biggest hearted people I've ever met in my entire life.
	I'm grateful for everything that I've been able to do.
	We're literally recording out of the very first studio that was here at InfoWars.
	He was like, I know you're building a studio.
	Why don't you just build it over here so that way we can do this?
	And, I mean, he's brought...
	His whole ideology was, I'm going to wake up everybody so that way I can fade to black and everybody else can keep pushing on the movement.
	And I know we're not...
	InfoWars is very hard to kill.
	People have tried to kill it, and it's very hard to kill.
	InfoWars will never die.
	Right when I started was when we were banned.
	It could die, but it's hard to kill.
	It's not going to go quietly in the night.
	It's not going to go with one video.
	It's not going to go with one court case.
	It's going to take a lot to get rid of it.
	But, you know, hey, it's been around for 27 years.
	It might not be around forever, but people need to realize that what they need to do is grab the videos.
	When you see a video you like, download it.
	When you see an article you like, take a screenshot of it.
	Because it might not be there.
	It might not be there in a year.
	And that's the sad part of that, but that's the way it is.
	And, you know, take the information.
	Here's the interesting thing.
	When I used to look up stuff for articles, like anything I would look up, I'd find exactly what I wanted immediately.
	Now, you can't find it anymore.
	Like, this shit is hidden.
	No, no, no.
	Everything is hidden by fact checks.
	You have to have the exact headlines.
	That you can search, and it'll pop up.
	But who searches exact headlines?
	Nobody.
	They search keywords.
	Right, right, right.
	Keywords don't work anymore.
	Keywords take you to fact checks.
	And so you have to be way more adept to find the information that used to be very easy to find.
	But that's how they're doing it now.
	Because they want to steal.
	The collective consciousness of the world and make it in their own image, which is basically to make everybody dumb and make everybody compliant.
	And it's crazy that that's their agenda.
	Like, who the fuck, what the fuck are these entities that want to enslave the human population?
	Well, from their perspective, it's like, you know, they're somewhat...
	You're talking about their minions.
	You're not talking about them.
	You're talking about the people who you're talking about.
	they didn't know the FDA and the vaccines would cause side effects.
	We're talking about the people who actually put that FDA notice out there knowing that these things would cause side effects.
	Yeah, so you know who these people are.
	It's like there's an actual line where they cross...
	They just don't know.
	They just follow the next current thing.
	So there is an entity that exists that is trying to annihilate.
	Like Yuval.
	They really think that you're going to merge with machines and then you're going to live forever.
	That's what I'm saying.
	Those are the people we're talking about.
	Klaus Schwab says you're not going to own anything.
	I'm going to own something.
	Not in their land.
	That's not going to happen.
	And that's the other thing is like now that even if Jones goes off air, there's like, you know, hundreds of other people now that are vocal and ready to- Oh, yeah, yeah.
	This is Tame Impala.
	Who?
	But it's like the Beatles' Let It Be, but he has a song called Let It Happen.
	Let it happen.
	And it's funny because he performs all the instruments, so it's just all pictures of him.
	You want to hear the song?
	I made this shirt.
	Dude, it hates you right now.
	I was just going to say he sounds gay.
	Dan made it for me.
	I bet he did.
	I helped him design it.
	Dan's awesome.
	Dan made a sticker for my time machine.
	Dude, that sticker is pretty dope.
	I've seen it.
	You should sell it.
	You should sell it.
	I'm going to go find a sticker.
	Tell everybody what the time machine is.
	What made you come to wanting to...
	Get into time travel.
	Well, I used to go to this festival called Flipside, which is like a Burning Man subgroup.
	So it wasn't Burning Man, but it was like an Austin Burning Man.
	So I went there since like 2000.
	And what was interesting was, as long as Trump wasn't in office, everything was fine.
	But I didn't go until, I went from like 2000 to 2012.
	2012, their theme was called Freaky Deaky Time Machine.
	I said, you know what, I'm going to make a time machine.
	And so when I made it, it basically encompassed all the years of Flipside from 2000 to 2011.
	You can go back and visit.
	How'd you get that footage?
	I had a lot of it, but a lot of it I found.
	It used to be a lot of people put stuff on Facebook and all that, and you could find stuff really easily.
	So it was a combination of videos and photos.
	Love you, bro.
	See you tomorrow.
	Spin around in a circle.
	You might be able to find it on Instagram.
	That's a horrible description.
	I've had to sell this to many people, and I've learned to...
	It is.
	What happens is you get into a chair from a 1984 van.
	Chevy van.
	Chevy van.
	You put a fighter pilot helmet on.
	A Vietnam helicopter pilot helmet.
	Yeah, okay.
	And it's got a projector on top, and it projects onto a screen as you're sitting in this chair, and we spin you in a circle.
	On a rotating platform.
	On a rotating platform.
	So we're spinning you around in a circle while you're watching any decade that you want from the 40s?
	The 30s is the oldest, right?
	Yeah, depending on what you're looking at.
	Yeah, we go from the 30s to the 40s, 50s, 60s, any decade you want.
	And then you can go to any time period within the Utopia Fest that we go to.
	And it is like, they don't even know what Utopia Fest is.
	It's another festival.
	Anyway, so this thing was created.
	So as you're turning in a circle, you're feeling weightlessness and then you're seeing these projections and you're hearing music inside your helmet.
	You know, a lot of people don't realize that until they put on the helmet.
	They're like, oh shit, I'm hearing stuff.
	Yeah, so you hear the video as you see the video, and you're going in a circle, and it's like you're actually in a time machine.
	It's really, really epic.
	I think it's just Flip Time Machine.
	Jesus Christ, how many times have you been there?
	It's all your footage.
	And you don't even know the handle.
	This fucking guy.
	Look, the problem with...
	But anyway, I made this thing.
	I'm telling you, you should sell those stickers, dude.
	Those will sell.
	What's awesome is, so I set it up for New Year's and Halloween in my driveway.
	And what I found out, I think it was in 2020.
	No, 2019.
	I figured out that Because the children of these parents at this music festival were the only ones that wanted to run it.
	And they would literally run it from 7 to like 12.30 at night.
	And they loved it.
	And they would organize it.
	And they would have people.
	And they would, oh, you're next.
	And I would just kind of sit back and watch them.
	And it was great.
	Because I originally, I made it for people on psychedelics.
	Adults on psychedelics.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	You're saying that Well, you know, people happen.
	It happens.
	Naturally, children loved it.
	Well, what's crazy is children like the pushing people in circles and seeing the images and stuff.
	Not the psychedelics.
	What's funny is the kids like how whoever they're pushing is having a good time.
	Yeah.
	Like they enjoy making somebody else happy, which is...
	So you have two people, you have a pusher and a rider, and the pusher can go as fast as they want, but they can only go as fast as they can go.
	So at some point, they get tired.
	They get tired, and then they're like, oh, I've got to slow down.
	And then you're like, okay.
	So it's got its own built-in governor, because you can only push this thing in a circle so many times before it dies out.
	And that's just the way it is.
	But it's an interesting little art piece that is still living in my garage.
	It's great.
	Dude, every year I'm blessed to be a part of it.
	Rob's been out there for a few times.
	And I love it, man, and I'm so for it.
	And I will do it as long as I am able to, for sure.
	It should be a staple at every festival.
	Absolutely, it really should.
	But we can't clone each other, so, I mean.
	Yeah, we have to work.
	We have to work.
	I mean, time traveling, it's pretty hard science to get down.
	Exactly.
	We're only doing it for that one day.
	Don't wish that evil upon me, Ricky.
	All right, it's 10 o 'clock.
	Are we going to cut this out?
	You got to go?
	Well, I have to go.
	I'm supposed to leave tomorrow.
	What, are you trying to go on a vacation?
	We got Derek in there on the Blazers.
	He's been waiting to come on.
	Oh, yeah, let's get Derek in.
	I'm going to swap.
	I don't know.
	He's been trying to hide out, I think.
	Yeah, come on, Derek.
	Get in here.
	I got to say bye.
	Well, hurry up and sit down so I can leave.
	Dude, don't leave until I go out there.
	Yeah, Derek, get in here so the host can leave, dude.
	Yeah.
	Because you look better than the host.
	I don't know.
	I have an Infowars shirt.
	Yeah, why don't you go in there?
	This guy's in a fucking blazer.
	Fucking putting me to shame today.
	Everybody, if you don't know.
	I just felt like I had to dress up today, Rob.
	I don't know what you're talking about.
	As you should.
	As you should.
	Dude, I was literally in the middle of doing something and they said, get your ass here.
	And I was like, I'm right there.
	I just, I didn't even finish what I was doing.
	What were you in the middle of?
	I was actually cleaning my house.
	Oh, you were being responsible?
	Yeah, and I was supposed to go meet my parents.
	I was going to meet with my mom, and they'd meet with my dad and see my grandparents.
	And then, hey, so this shit's going down.
	And I was like, all right.
	I didn't even finish sweeping.
	Actually, I didn't finish sweeping.
	I almost didn't.
	And I was like, I told my dogs, I'm sorry, guys.
	You were being responsible as fuck, dude.
	Yeah, I really was.
	It was kind of weird.
	It was a good graduation night for some people, so I had to make sure I did my duties at home before I went out to do these duties.
	Dirt, tell these people who you are, tell them what you do, and tell them how much they should love you.
	Look at that, he's so socially awkward with people.
	It's amazing.
	That's bullshit.
	I know, I brought him out of his fucking circle.
	I'm not bragging or anything, but I'm the reason this guy got married.
	It's true.
	It's true.
	Rob hooked me up.
	My name is Derek.
	I go by the moniker of Rick Nuggs.
	Rick Nuggs.
	And Rick Nuggs has my favorite song in the entire world that I could sing my fucking lungs out to.
	It's not as good as Hi-Rez, but...
	Hi-Rez is like Eminem and you're like...
	I was wondering where you're going, though.
	But now Derek's here.
	So Derek, before we actually...
	I went to say bye to Rob Dude, but he left.
	Oh, wow.
	He's gone.
	I don't want you to superimpose on Sean.
	But Sean, tell people what you do here if you want to.
	If you want to, you know, spill your guts out, go right ahead.
	Whatever you want.
	But tell people who you are, what you do, and how long you've been here.
	What's your favorite moment?
	Hmm.
	So my name's Sean.
	I do a lot here.
	Started as an audio guy.
	He's a hole filler.
	That's always what I like to tell people is I do fill holes by whatever is needed.
	I have seen Sean do everything here.
	Well, production-wise.
	I think all three of us have seen each other do everything.
	I think that Sean is a good learner.
	He just picks up this and that and then he applies it to his own style or something.
	I'm trying to do things like, you know, in my own fashion or trying to improve in my own way.
	I've seen Sean cut cameras today.
	He cut cameras like a boss.
	Yeah, I was switching.
	He was switching my show too?
	Yeah, I was over there.
	Yeah.
	He switched the war room on my day.
	I've seen Sean pull up some awesome B-roll.
	I've seen Sean mix audio.
	I've seen Sean cut audio with his fucking vocal cords.
	You're tuned in to the American Journal.
	Yeah, this voice might sound familiar.
	You're listening to the American Journal.
	Yes, do one for toxic culture real quick.
	What do you want me to say?
	You're listening, dude.
	Whatever.
	You're tuned in to the...
	You forgot the name of the show!
	Damn!
	I messed up because it's not the...
	the toxiculture.
	I was going to say...
	That's me!
	Yeah, that's a great job, dude.
	You have to say you're of our lord.
	It is June 1st, 2020.
	See, this is why I like to pre-record, because I mess up a lot.
	Okay, dude.
	Well, maybe not a lot.
	Oh, you mess up a lot?
	It's easy.
	That's why I don't like being on-airs.
	That's the one thing I haven't done, you know?
	No, no, no.
	You have done a couple on-airs.
	We did a couple live rejoins with Owen.
	Oh, that's true.
	You definitely did that.
	I did the doc.
	Remember that?
	Yeah, yeah.
	The dark.
	Oh, my God.
	The Doc.
	You remember The Doc?
	And, Sean, you were on air before you were even thinking about InfoWars.
	Like, you were an on-air personality in college.
	Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah.
	I had, like, a radio show there.
	But, I mean, you know, it's, like, definitely not.
	No, it wasn't a radio show.
	It did video.
	I've seen you on video.
	Oh, no, yeah, yeah.
	Okay, well that's a separate thing.
	That was like a news, You were cutting the news?
	Dude, he was in a suit, in a tie.
	What?
	That's what I'm saying.
	The only time I've seen you in a student tie was at my wedding.
	No, it was straight up like a news channel that would go out to San Marcos and they'd go live at like 4. Yeah, dude.
	Every Wednesday or something.
	What?
	I did not know this.
	Yeah, you have a whole bunch of pre-produced stuff.
	I was pretty good, actually.
	I'd be looking at the cameras.
	What happened?
	It was, again, this kind of thing, though, like working in college media.
	You kind of...
	Yeah, yeah.
	The whole filler.
	Yeah.
	You can fill it holes your whole life, huh?
	That's what you wanted?
	There's ladies present here.
	Oh my god.
	Yeah, my whole filler is totally different than your whole filler.
	your whole filter went like this honestly honestly when I say that I've never even really thought about that No, yeah, no.
	You just went around telling girls, I'm a hole filler.
	I didn't tell girls that.
	I don't just go up to people and tell them, hey, I'm Sean, I'm a hole filler.
	You should.
	You should.
	You need some holes filled, honey?
	I'm the man.
	Yeah, let me know, though.
	We got a hole filled with Sean here.
	Derek!
	Sean's about to start blushing.
	Sean's blushing.
	Once I turn red, I don't go back.
	Should we call you Redskin?
	No, I'm just kidding.
	All right, Derek.
	Tell the people who you are, what you do, and how you do it.
	No, no, no.
	That's not true.
	The first time I heard of you, Rob, you were on air with Owen, like, exposing some, like...
	We did the drag queen story time?
	No, no, no.
	In San Antonio.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And we were connecting to you.
	So it was like, right?
	I'm pretty sure.
	You were talking to him?
	I went to my only friend's house that had clear internet and I was like, hey man, I'm going on your phone wars.
	I need the clearest connection I can have.
	And I posted it with my phone, and I was just like, And I was just like, oh shit, I'm smiling too much.
	I can't stop smiling.
	No, dude, I'm telling you, we had, I think we connected to you like three or four times just Um...
	That does?
	I feel like you filmed Owen in the Belly of the Beast like migrant center.
	And then another time it was like, we were connecting to you to do Like doing a flag wave or something.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Right?
	Well, how I kind of got discovered was I would put on events, the same kind of events Owen would put on.
	Because at that point, we had Infowarsarmy.com or dot something.
	It was the forum that we had.
	So I would set up events like Owen would.
	It got hijacked.
	Not really.
	It's just a wild west.
	a lot of people started hating.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, I would set up events on InfoWars Army that And it was cool.
	And one time, I wouldn't even tell Owen we were doing this.
	Just do it.
	And he would drive by like, oh shit, like what is this going on?
	And he'd go out there and he'd film us.
	So yeah, the very first time I got on is with Owen.
	So I set up the event and of course I worked.
	So I was like kind of late to the event.
	And I was the last person getting interviewed at that point.
	And I literally picked up a random sign.
	And I was just like, he was like, hey man, what's your sign say?
	"What is this?" And I was like, I was like, oh, you know, pizza game.
	They're trying to say that child trafficking isn't real.
	I just fucking went ham on it.
	And that's how I kind of met Owen for the second, third time.
	Oh, you're the one putting all these events?
	I was like, yeah.
	And then, yeah, we went out and hung out after that at Terry Black's.
	It was so funny.
	Everybody's like, "Oh, Owen's here!
	Owen's here!
	He's in line right now!" And I'm just like, "You already let Owen stand in line." Oh my god!
	I'm getting all jealous, man!
	No, no, no, no, no!
	I didn't get jealous!
	I was like, "You already let Owen stand out there by himself in line." All of them were waiting for him to come inside, and I was like, "I'm gonna go stand out there with him." So I just went out there.
	They were just, like, scared of him?
	Yeah, they were.
	And I was just like, "I've already fucking seen this guy." I don't know.
	If I didn't really know Owen, maybe I'd be a little, you know...
	It might be oil and I'm fucking diving, oh shit, that's not, let me get out of here.
	But I was like, fuck it.
	I went in there and we started talking and shooting the shit.
	At Terry Black's.
	At Terry Black's.
	Here in Austin.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Nice, man.
	And it was crazy because the event that I put on...
	He's like, alright, well, fuck it.
	I'll be there.
	And it all happened so organically and off a riff.
	Nothing was planned on that day other than people showing up to the...
	Yeah, yeah.
	And yeah, then he got his information and I was like, hey, this is going on in San Antonio with the Congolese.
	And he was like, well, send me footage.
	And I sent him footage.
	And then Rob Dew texts me.
	He's like, we'll be there in an hour and a half.
	I was like, oh, okay, shit.
	I bet.
	So then they came and that's when I met do I met I met Drew.
	I think that was it.
	Owen, Drew, Drew, and Greg Reese.
	Yeah.
	They opened a door a crack and Rob broke it wide open.
	Wide open.
	And then there was a drag queen story time thing that we went in and infiltrated.
	I remember that one, yeah.
	And after that, that's when they were like, so, what's up?
	What do you want to do?
	I can only offer you this.
	I'll take it right now.
	I don't care if it's part time for this.
	I don't care.
	I remember Rob's first day walking into Studio B and shit.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You had the backwards cap.
	And your hair was, like, long.
	Yeah, dude.
	It's wild to be seeing you from back then, or the videos and stuff.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I used to have long hair.
	It was great.
	Yeah.
	Fucking Goldilocks.
	You want to talk about your transition?
	I mean, for viewers at home, Rom doesn't have cancer, so.
	Oh, my God.
	No, I decided to cut my hair.
	It went the opposite way.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, my head absorbed my hair and it went from on top of here to down to here.
	Now I have this luxurious beard.
	A very wise young man.
	Yeah.
	Very, very wise.
	Starting to go gray.
	Yeah, working at InfoWars is really great.
	No.
	Come on, man.
	No, I don't.
	Are you stressed out or shit, bro?
	Right here.
	You can't even tell on the camera.
	You really can't.
	If you turn that way with the light hitting you.
	Right there, yeah.
	Dude, nah.
	I like it, though.
	It's like you got a little highlight, you know?
	Yeah, you got a highlight.
	What are y 'all trying to do to us right now?
	Bro, this is Chad's shop!
	Oh, shit, dude.
	Damn!
	You need to talk about that, dude.
	So, yeah, my first...
	Dude, that was a death.
	Yeah.
	For real.
	Yeah, my first mission, we went to the Chaz Chop Zone.
	This is Seattle or Portland?
	This was in Seattle.
	Perfect.
	I hope he comes in.
	I have a whole bit waiting for him to come in.
	I really do.
	I actually can't wait.
	Oh, should I go get him?
	But anyways, yeah, this is the Chaz Chop Zone.
	And we went to the Autonomous Zone in Seattle.
	And I honestly can't believe they were like, yeah, you could go.
	You just got to fund yourself.
	I was like, alright.
	Say less.
	I'm going.
	We're going to be there.
	Yeah, it was crazy seeing leftists, seeing these lefties in their environment.
	In their natural environment.
	Well, you're talking about the most liberal.
	Yeah, it's in Seattle, the most liberal place, other than Portland.
	Portland's pretty fucking...
	I think Portland might be the epitome.
	It is important to note, though, that there was always this festival that would take place every year at that location.
	At the same time frame.
	Oh, so they just usurped it or something?
	But they just kind of used that as a way to take over the whole section of where they would normally block off.
	Thanks, John, for ruining my heroic interaction out there.
	You can still talk about it.
	That it was all a hoax.
	I didn't say it was a hoax.
	No, it really was.
	That's what people have to understand.
	These festivals, these zones, these encampments they have at UCLA.
	All this stuff happens in certain time frames.
	That way he doesn't throw off the rest of the city.
	Oh, look at that young homie.
	Yeah, look at that.
	What hat is that?
	What hat is that?
	Is it a Texas one?
	Yeah.
	Huh.
	At that time, I think I'm actually interviewing the actual leader.
	He had the background.
	His name was King.
	Look at that.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	Joey Gibson.
	Joey Gibson, yeah.
	He was there.
	The street features were there, but in the background, I'm interviewing the guy who is actually running the entire thing.
	Dude, this is like interview-ception right now.
	Look at how intense your face is.
	Is this Sam recording these guys?
	Sam's recording these guys, and I'm in the background recording the actual leader of the encampment, and he's telling me, this is right before we actually got a tour.
	This was Raz, right?
	You mean Capital Sam?
	Capital?
	Yeah, it's Capital Sam.
	Capital Sam.
	Yeah, that's right, man.
	The Italian Zone was one of my first trips, and it was crazy.
	You guys did a good job with that.
	That was good coverage.
	I think we connected with you guys twice.
	Yeah, you got on Jones.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It was good.
	I remember that time I had to run from a...
	So we were in the middle of the interview, and this guy, Sam is talking, and this guy comes up behind me.
	He's like...
	What?
	Holy shit, what are we going to do to y 'all?
	because y'all are surrounded right now.
	No, it was just me and Sam.
	Yeah, so I looked at him and it was an Antifa dude and he had like five other people in masks blacked out and I was just like, hey Sam, we gotta go.
	And we just started running.
	He was like, what?
	I was like, we have to go.
	So, yeah.
	Yeah, look, this is...
	They're so fast.
	I don't really know how they fucking pull this shit up.
	What do they know?
	How to use a keyboard and type into a computer?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Shut up, Sean.
	It's hard sometimes.
	I know, I know.
	I'm just kidding.
	This is the one of the guys that surrounded you or what?
	Nobody's laughing.
	But yeah, no, no, no, not this time.
	This is before we got a tour.
	You're the only one laughing.
	This is before we got a tour of the Chaz Chop Zone.
	Oh, to the moon back, Rob.
	What do you know about the moon?
	Kennedy.
	This was like peak lunacy, honestly.
	Oh, lunacy.
	You don't remember them?
	You just saw the guy with the moon shirt.
	No, no, no.
	I'm thinking of the background.
	I think we're going to go through the garden.
	Yes, the garden.
	They tried to grow fans on the cardboard.
	What?
	They got bad intel.
	That shit was crazy.
	When city folk tried to farm, shit goes haywire.
	We're going through this at my place.
	We're doing the landscaping.
	Okay.
	You're supposed to...
	I know what you're talking about.
	But then you're supposed to cover it.
	So you're not supposed to just, like, put the cardboard down and put dirt on the cardboard?
	Oh, here it is.
	Here it is.
	Look, look, look.
	Here it goes.
	I was just showing the cardboard.
	They got some raised beds, dude.
	Yeah, they did.
	I forgot about the raised beds.
	I honestly can't believe I got a fucking tour of the whole place from the fucking...
	Yes.
	And then after, they didn't even fuck with me after.
	The secret Asian rhyme.
	Because when they, when they, after that very, or like an hour later, It's like, yeah, we're trying to fucking tell the truth so people don't distort what your story is.
	We want to give it to you raw, unfiltered, unedited.
	Everything is going to be live.
	Look at his street art, though.
	And he's like, oh, shit, you're right.
	You think that's still there?
	And then they loved us.
	Maybe.
	Yeah, you'd be racist if you painted over it.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, this was a...
	So you got this guy to take you around?
	Yeah, his guy's name is King.
	It looks like a festival.
	That was their kitchen.
	See, and they're like, hey, no recording.
	He's like, no, no, they're good.
	They're with me.
	That's a dude.
	That's a trans dude back there who's trying to tell him what to do.
	He's like, no, no, this is what's going on.
	Oh, shit.
	Do you see that flag?
	Yeah.
	Good night, white pride.
	And it's a dude getting like...
	He's getting face stomped as he has a turd on his chest.
	Okay, that's where he's going for the stomp, I guess.
	No, it's not.
	That's where you say you should shoot him.
	Oh, there's another guy that's in the bush about to shoot him?
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Did you go into the...
	Yeah, sure.
	Did you go into the station?
	I forget.
	You know, the cop station they took over or whatever?
	We have footage of it, but it...
	I think we did see cops here.
	Hey, is it just y 'all two out there now?
	Yeah.
	Holy shit.
	I want you to come sit in this chair.
	What you want?
	Maybe.
	Maybe.
	I'm getting a little cold, bro.
	You're getting cold?
	I'm not used to being in the studio this long.
	Yeah, I know.
	My wife works here now.
	Oh, yeah, okay.
	Cool.
	We got your pregnant wife working for sure.
	Oh, yeah.
	Absolutely.
	Did you hand those stickers out, or what's the deal with the stickers?
	You want a flip-time machine sticker?
	Oh, hell yeah.
	Dude, right when you talked about it, I wanted it.
	Did you know about that?
	Just because.
	Oh, look at Wilson.
	I said fast hair.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, you're lucky to have to.
	Well, I mean, I wouldn't have done it if I...
	Did you know about that, though?
	The time machine?
	Yeah, I did.
	You ever been on the flip time machine?
	No, no, I haven't.
	Okay.
	Come get your seat back.
	I was just keeping it warm for you.
	We might have to go make another run for it.
	Oh, you definitely need another beer on.
	Yeah.
	Oh, we're out.
	Damn, man.
	That's the last one.
	If you want to, that'd be great.
	Yeah, take a seat.
	Take a seat.
	Y 'all are bringing beer and food?
	She's so mad.
	She's like, no, Rob!
	Shut up!
	I'm fucking trying to go home!
	I got a baby in me.
	I want to fucking lay down.
	I want to fucking be here.
	I got you.
	I'm working for free.
	And we love you for it.
	And we love you for it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	If you want to bounce, if y 'all have to go, Nah.
	We got 15 minutes, y 'all.
	Yeah, we'll go 15 minutes more and then we'll grab some fucking dinner.
	How will we know when it's over, though?
	I have a very good time management.
	What are you on?
	Some kind of show that has to do with time?
	I show up to work on time every day.
	I'm never late.
	Is that true?
	Listen, man.
	The grievances are being aired.
	You haven't learned the word delegate yet.
	These two guys, man, they're together like all day.
	Every day.
	It's crazy.
	Who?
	You two.
	Me and Rob?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Not even close, dude.
	You all were, like, so close.
	Like, every day there for a while.
	No, no, dude.
	But then the jib came along.
	It's only like...
	The jib came along and then...
	It's not even that much, dude.
	Yeah, it's not that much.
	I don't know.
	It's only a quarter of the day.
	It was just a normal printer.
	It was just a normal printer, right?
	Yeah, it was a normal printer.
	You print out your articles and then it gets it.
	That's right, Poncho.
	Poncho and Lefty.
	We had two printers.
	Kermit's there too.
	Oh, yeah.
	Kermit, I never printed to Kermit.
	I did.
	I did a couple times.
	He's a racist.
	He's being green.
	So we had these printers that were just normal printers.
	Shut up, Sean!
	I'm trying to tell us about my printers!
	So we used to have to staple every article that Alex Jones wanted for the morning.
	And we printed out InfoWars, Drudge Report, Zero Hedge, Gateway Pundit, and Town Hall.
	I think that was it, right?
	And for anybody who watches the show would know that he only has only a few articles on the desk from day to day.
	Yeah, Alex doesn't have very many articles on his desk.
	A few hundred, you know.
	It's about 150 average, I think.
	Yeah, so we would have to print out 150 to 200 articles every day and we used to have to staple every single one of them.
	We'd have to staple every single one of them.
	So we would get here at like 9.30.
	9 o 'clock, and Derek would get so mad at me because I get here at 9.45.
	You get here at 10. Or at 10 when the articles are supposed to be on the desk.
	And he'd be so mad at me.
	Sorry, Derek.
	I'm just going to be running late.
	That's just what it is.
	So then we got to a printer that stapled for us.
	And Derek fired me.
	Derek fired me.
	Derek said, hey Rob.
	I recognized Rob's ability to download and edit videos.
	That is true.
	That I asked him nicely to go do something else.
	So I was fired.
	So we going in here at 9.45 and being fired, 10 o 'clock and being fired turned into what it is now.
	But we've all grown.
	We've all evolved and grown.
	But Derek, at the end of the day, tell these people who you are and what you do here and why we love you so much.
	My name is Derek Hoover.
	I grew up in the middle of nowhere, Ohio.
	Shelby, Ohio!
	Shelby, Ohio!
	It's the greatest city out there in Ohio.
	All natural.
	All natural.
	Best city.
	Best mobile homes.
	All the milks are organic.
	Everything is great.
	You heard about heaven.
	That place ain't so great.
	But Shelby, Ohio might be the next best thing.
	Anyways, go ahead, Derek.
	Go ahead.
	Yeah, I grew up in the middle of nowhere, Ohio, and then I graduated from audio engineering school.
	He's a badass.
	And I...
	One thing led to another.
	I met Matt, who was on here earlier.
	Weber!
	And he got me a job here.
	Weber!
	I hardly know her!
	I had to throw a Chase joke in there.
	Chase was on the show today, right?
	Shut your mouth.
	And I was jumping at the chance to grind.
	Yeah, Derek is definitely a workhorse.
	Grind you can here.
	Grind is more than welcome.
	He's a workaholic.
	Sean's a workaholic.
	I'm a workaholic.
	Everybody who's still here doing what we're doing right now, we're fucking workaholics and we're going to hold this place fucking hostage.
	So Derek, what is your best moment, your most favorable moment at InfoWars?
	Oh, shoot.
	At InfoWars?
	Boil down your time here to one moment.
	There might have been a shouting match.
	I don't know.
	I'm chatting.
	Chill.
	You know, honestly, the first, when you say that, the first moment that comes to my head is when I think we were still doing, we were doing the, And Alex came in and tossed his hat to Owen.
	Oh, shit!
	Yes, and we got that on camera!
	We just fucking got it.
	We got it.
	I don't know.
	It was like one of those...
	That happens a lot when you're like doing nonlinear editing.
	Okay, we're in this thing for like three hours, four hours sometimes.
	And like whatever happens makes it to tape.
	And that's what makes the final cut.
	Yeah.
	And it was like one of those moments It doesn't matter.
	It does not matter.
	It doesn't matter!
	It just matters that we got it, I guess.
	Yeah, Alex was walking away and he was wearing his hat.
	Well, he used to do that thing.
	He still does it somewhere.
	Was it like a drudge hat?
	Was it a drudge thing?
	I don't know.
	But he was on the other side of the studio.
	And he just fucking throws the hat like a frisbee.
	He's like 10, 15, 20 feet away.
	And he's just like...
	And just fucking catches it on him.
	Catches that shit.
	That was fucking great.
	That was wild, dude.
	That's in the War Room is Raw, right?
	Isn't it?
	Yeah.
	I might have to go pull that up so we can watch that.
	I don't know.
	Just little moments like that come to my mind.
	Anything when you feel like the whole world's watching.
	Yeah.
	I mean, that's the weird thing that I hear from people who work in media all the time, especially, like, podcasting nowadays, is, like, it's hard to fully realize, like, who's watching, like, how many people are, like, tuned in.
	Because when you're in it and you're doing the show, it's like you're not really thinking about the audience so much.
	But, like, you know, there's potentially thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people out there watching, and it's pretty crazy when you really, like, hear feedback from people.
	Especially with Spaces now, I feel like we've opened up a new portal to have a wider audience.
	That's what I was going to say.
	I remember that week, it was like we were about to get back on X. Yeah, that was huge.
	And it just opened up a whole new portal or something.
	It's a whole new audience.
	Yeah.
	That was exciting when we got back on X. Yeah.
	Me and Louis were in that room over there, and we heard Jones go, the Sith will once again rule.
	No, we did not!
	Oh, man.
	Oh, here we go.
	It's about to happen.
	That's the one?
	Oh.
	Oh.
	Y 'all can't tell, but yeah, okay.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh, shoot.
	Oh, wow.
	Yeah.
	What brought this up?
	We were talking about our favorite moments, and I just talked about the first thing that came to my mind.
	Well, it's like one of those things.
	Yeah, right there.
	Yeah, the gold fit, yeah, I mean.
	Were you all here when Alex traded punches with Gavin McGinnis?
	I've seen it.
	I wasn't there.
	Oh, my God.
	He showed us his shoulder.
	So, like, Gavin came in to do the Jones show.
	Right?
	And I guess they traded punches.
	Yeah.
	And then he came in for the war room, and he showed us his shoulder.
	It was like, messed up, dude.
	I think Gavin boxes a bit.
	Whoa.
	How do you take one of those punches?
	Well, Jones is always trying to get people to punch him.
	I punched him once.
	Like as hard as you could?
	Yeah.
	And I've been waiting for a while to get this title for this video.
	I thought you were going to say you've been waiting a while to let it.
	And so I did.
	He's like, oh, that extra is pretty hard.
	I got a bony little knuckles thing I got.
	Nice.
	Okay.
	Yeah, I mean, you know, it's like you get so many people to punch you, you just kind of get used to it after a while.
	Just walking down the street, just get some random guy to punch you.
	Yeah, that would be hilarious if you just saw Jones walking up to you in the street.
	Wilson, sit forward.
	Oh, there you go.
	You're out of focus.
	Sit forward.
	Awesome.
	I was just keeping this warm.
	All right, Sean.
	Later, Wilson.
	What's your favorite moment?
	I've got a couple.
	Close it out.
	Let's go.
	First one is whenever...
	I think it was with COVID.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And he was gone for like a week.
	And I don't know, I just got in my head, like, even before that, I was thinking, like, man, I should, like...
	go to Home Depot, buy like some...
	Just in case, you know.
	And buy masks.
	Buy masks.
	'cause I kinda figured that shit was gonna hit the fan.
	Yeah, we went to Home Depot.
	So we went to Home Depot, we bought a whole bunch of suits, everybody dressed up, and it was just cool.
	It's like one of those things where you have an idea and it comes to fruition and it's And yeah, I don't know.
	Another one is One thing I like to do, this is like a separate tangent thing, but I like to bring in these fake snowballs and then we just have snowball fights in the control room.
	And that's, I don't know, something I always look forward to now.
	I use that in one of my ads because I threw the snowball right at the control room camera and it hit it perfect.
	So I use that in one of my ads.
	But anyway, one year.
	I think it was last year?
	I don't know.
	Maybe two years ago.
	But I, again, just had this idea to be like, huh, let's just buy everyone some Santa hats.
	And we're all going to wear Santa hats, but one person isn't going to know that we're all supposed to wear Santa hats.
	And that person was Derek.
	Nah.
	So we all, I got everybody on a break to all put on these Santa hats.
	And gave no context to Derek, and he's just, you know, at the switcher, focusing on that.
	And, like, we keep, like, messing with him, like, hey, like, throwing shit, like, look over here, you know?
	And he's just, like, honed in.
	And then I got the security guard to walk by and, like, just tap him, you know?
	And he had the Santa hat on, too, and then he looked around and was like, oh.
	What?
	Did I miss something?
	Oh, what?
	And, like, even Owen participated, so it was like everybody was in on it.
	Everybody had to say that, but you.
	I don't know, you know, it's one of those things that, like, I guess when you kind of explain it, it doesn't really sound all that, you know...
	Crazy.
	You brought the humanity.
	You brought the fun.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	That's what I'm trying to always...
	All right, this could be your last message to the fans.
	What do y 'all got?
	What would you call this time we're at?
	The quickening.
	No, no, no.
	Is it already out?
	Aw, damn.
	It's all good.
	Go ahead.
	We would not be here without the fans.
	We would be nothing without y 'all.
	It just feels really good to send this message out.
	Thank y 'all for supporting us.
	Keep spreading the message.
	It's what Alex says.
	Spread the links.
	Just be yourselves, y 'all.
	Seriously, this is a crazy time.
	We would be nothing without y 'all.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, I mean, coming into this community, it was definitely, like, not something I was really expecting, but, you know, you take enough phone calls here from people, and you really just kind of start to get to know people.
	Oh, that's right.
	Y 'all are like the phone call.
	Yeah, me and Sean always take all the phone calls.
	Even when the show was done.
	Yeah, we're saying bye to people.
	Yeah, I mean, I will honestly...
	And if you want to say anything, you know, like I tried to hear you out and I definitely feel good about how, you know, like at most programs, like they probably don't really give too much attention.
	You know, they're just trying to get content.
	But I feel like for us, it's like they really, we really care about, you know, these people.
	And I appreciate everything that y 'all have given us to be able to work with here.
	It's kind of amazing, all things considered.
	Like, 20, 30 years ago, none of this would even be possible.
	Yeah, that's for sure.
	And I take that full-heartedly, man, because...
	It's something that I've listened to since 2008, 2009.
	And then, you know, it's like, you know, when you see things on TV or you see things in movies that you don't think are kind of attainable.
	And then when you're actually able to attain it and be part of it and become part of it, it's.
	And then being able to talk to the fans, that was probably one of the best parts of my day, is calling up and like, oh shit, is this Rob?
	I saw you on the battle tank.
	It's fucking, it's mad.
	It's you at your heart, man.
	You're a fan at heart.
	I am.
	Until this day, this is why I'm still, that's why we're still here doing this and going to put this out.
	Who knows how many other...
	We still might record later.
	And it's just...
	So, at the end of the day, all I can say is thank you.
	Alex thanks you.
	All the crew thanks you, and we just wouldn't be here without you guys.
	So, I can't wait to see what's next, and I can't wait to, you know, go on the next endeavor, because Infowars will never die.
	That's what you have to understand.
	Infowars will never die.
	And I am one person who will never let it die.
	So, I don't know, from the bottom of my heart, I just say thank you guys and I love you.
	And I guess we'll see you on the next one.
	Ten seconds of that up front.
	And this concludes your episode today of Toxic Culture.
	June 1st, in the year of our Lord, 2024.
	Love you guys.
