Unknown Speaker (00:01:01.439)

I'm Jordan.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:02.018)

Uh, we're a couple of dudes who like to sit around

Unknown Speaker (00:01:03.759)

and worship at the altar of Celene and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:06.539)

Oh, indeed we are, Dan.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:07.659)

Jordan.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:07.938)

Dan.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:08.218)

Jor-dan.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:08.599)

Quick question for you.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:09.459)

'Sup?

Unknown Speaker (00:01:09.959)

What's your bright spot today, buddy?

Unknown Speaker (00:01:10.858)

Why don't you go first?

Unknown Speaker (00:01:11.578)

Uh, my bright spot today is, uh, yesterday, uh, as

Unknown Speaker (00:01:15.718)

we're recording this, was the first time I played tennis this year.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:18.399)

Hey.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:18.938)

With my cousin, we went out, we played some tennis.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:21.759)

It was supposed to be warmer, and it turned out to be only 40 degrees.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:24.599)

And there's snow on the ground right now.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:25.739)

And there's snow on the ground right now.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:27.039)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:01:27.978)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:28.239)

It was very cold. It was very cold. Uh, but, yeah, we did it. It was great. I'm- I'm an old man.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:33.438)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:33.959)

Everything hurts. Uh-

Unknown Speaker (00:01:35.319)

But, uh, w- rank yourself on a scale of zero to Alcaraz.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:39.819)

I'll tell you what.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:40.539)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:40.558)

Here's what happened, though. And I'm- I'm not gonna put my business out there too much.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:44.239)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:44.659)

This was the first set of tennis I had won off of Ben

Unknown Speaker (00:01:46.998)

for, uh, (blows raspberry) , the entire time we've known each other.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:49.998)

This feels more like you're putting Ben's business on the streets.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:52.078)

Very first time I've, uh, I've won.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:53.739)

Uh-huh.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:54.058)

The very first time. It was great.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:55.418)

'Cause it feels less like you talking about your business-

Unknown Speaker (00:01:57.299)

It was magical-

Unknown Speaker (00:01:57.659)

... than shitting on his game.

Unknown Speaker (00:01:58.718)

No, no, no. I don't wanna... I'm just telling you that I

Unknown Speaker (00:02:00.759)

was, I was amazing. It was truly an incredible per- performance from me.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:03.718)

It's gotta be either you were amazing or he was bad.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:05.539)

He wasn't great. It was not a good day for him. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:02:08.498)

Ooh.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:09.378)

See look at this, talking that shit.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:10.758)

But he's-

Unknown Speaker (00:02:11.278)

One day back on the tennis court-

Unknown Speaker (00:02:12.699)

Exactly.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:12.778)

... and you're already peacocking around.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:14.598)

Well, what am I going to do? Not peacock around? I've never won before.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:17.239)

You gotta do it.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:17.859)

I get one shot.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:18.979)

How did the re-, like, uh, was it, like, uh, three sets?

Unknown Speaker (00:02:22.299)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:02:23.218)

I panicked.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:24.019)

Close enough. I liked it.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:25.098)

I don't know.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:25.378)

It was great.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:25.699)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:25.998)

No, we, uh, we played one set. It was six to four.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:28.419)

Six to four.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:29.218)

Six to four.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:29.919)

25 or 6 to 4, a great song by Chicago.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:32.479)

That sounds true.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:33.318)

It is. That is definitely true.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:34.799)

I don't know about the great song part.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:36.378)

Yeah, it's great.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:36.998)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:02:37.938)

A lot of horns.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:39.299)

All right. What's your bright spot?

Unknown Speaker (00:02:40.459)

Um, I was thinking about how there have been... Like, I haven't had a food thing in a while.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:45.419)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:45.498)

And I think that, uh, there's... It's been slow over at the unnamed grocery store.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:49.179)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:49.699)

And I think that w- what it has to be now, 'cause I think that was unsatisfying anyway, as a 2025 thing.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:56.338)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (00:02:56.959)

D- I'm gonna eat something strange and

Unknown Speaker (00:02:59.799)

d- d- d- diminishing returns.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:00.799)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:01.179)

If people want to send things to the PO box that are fun, maybe,

Unknown Speaker (00:03:05.179)

you know, we could al- I'll try some fun foods and shit that people send.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:08.558)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:08.679)

But, I think more interesting

Unknown Speaker (00:03:11.378)

is 2025 is the year of this pinky ring.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:15.778)

I was literally... You were... You've b- you've been swirling it around.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:19.639)

I have.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:19.799)

You've been playing with it like a m- like a conductor.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:23.098)

And I think that what it should be is-

Unknown Speaker (00:03:25.739)

(laughs) It's just a pinky ring.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:27.299)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:27.699)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:28.079)

But I can review life situations

Unknown Speaker (00:03:32.118)

as someone who's wearing a pinky ring.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:33.479)

With a pinky ring versus without a pinky ring.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:35.758)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:36.278)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:36.598)

And so I can say that I went to the grocery store with a pinky ring.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:40.058)

That is true.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:41.378)

It felt

Unknown Speaker (00:03:42.558)

almost no different.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:43.758)

Almost no different.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:44.679)

Almost no different.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:45.579)

Almost?

Unknown Speaker (00:03:46.239)

Well, I, uh, there was the slight awareness that I was wearing a pinky ring.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:49.579)

There's a little weight. There's a little weight on your pi- (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:03:51.758)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:03:51.758)

Your pinky is slightly heavier.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:53.538)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:53.859)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:03:54.239)

And there was the, uh, walking to the store-

Unknown Speaker (00:03:56.938)

Uh-huh.

Unknown Speaker (00:03:57.199)

... and thinking like, "Am I gonna feel, uh... Is everyone gonna be staring at my pinky ring?" (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:04:01.118)

Do you... It... Okay. That, that is an interesting question.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:03.718)

There was a self-consciousness.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:04.878)

There was a question that I had been avoiding-

Unknown Speaker (00:04:06.639)

Uh-huh.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:06.639)

... about the pinky ring.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:07.579)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:07.959)

Are you inviting attention on the pinky ring?

Unknown Speaker (00:04:10.058)

How would I do that?

Unknown Speaker (00:04:10.899)

I have no idea. You've been swaying it about...

Unknown Speaker (00:04:13.299)

We... In front of, uh, in front... In this conversation, you've been pulling a lot of pinky moves.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:16.879)

I feel like I'm talking-

Unknown Speaker (00:04:18.098)

You Dr. Eviled me a couple of times.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:19.598)

I did not Dr. Evil you.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:20.838)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:04:21.918)

Um, no, I don't think I am.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:24.459)

I don't think I'm bring- bringing attention.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:25.978)

Well, I mean, do you want people to notice the pinky ring?

Unknown Speaker (00:04:27.899)

Not really. I want to experience what life is like, uh-

Unknown Speaker (00:04:31.079)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:31.319)

... within a, a pinky ring prism.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:33.838)

Right. But what is-

Unknown Speaker (00:04:34.459)

Prism, not prison.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:35.838)

Nice. I like that. But, and this is something that I don't know, perhaps you'll discover

Unknown Speaker (00:04:40.838)

obviously, as this is your foray into pinky ringdom.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:43.238)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:43.858)

Uh,

Unknown Speaker (00:04:44.699)

I just have always assumed that if you wear a pinky ring, people are gonna be like, "Oh, hey.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:49.918)

So put that on your pinky?" (laughs) You know, like all the time.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:52.598)

So far, zero questions.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:54.358)

(laughs) Okay. Okay. Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:04:54.939)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:04:56.699)

Just-

Unknown Speaker (00:04:56.858)

Also, no one has given me, like, tribute as if I'm a mob boss-

Unknown Speaker (00:05:00.459)

Fair enough.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:00.778)

... or anything, so-

Unknown Speaker (00:05:01.278)

That's fair.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:01.778)

... I've avoided that.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:02.918)

No tips of the cap? No nothing?

Unknown Speaker (00:05:05.478)

C- I don't know if I've seen many people wearing caps that are, are tippable.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:09.798)

(laughs) Fair enough. Fair enough.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:11.418)

Um, so, uh, I'll keep you up-to-date on various, uh, life situations that I get in-

Unknown Speaker (00:05:16.259)

I like it.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:16.319)

... and how my pinky ring affects or does not affect them.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:19.439)

Excellent.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:20.278)

Um, so today, Jordan, we got an episode to go over.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:22.218)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:22.238)

We're gonna be talking about February 5th, 2025.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:25.519)

All right.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:25.899)

Uh-

Unknown Speaker (00:05:25.899)

Year of the pinky ring.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:27.038)

Uh-huh.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:27.178)

Uh-huh.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:27.879)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:28.259)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:28.538)

That is what it is.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:29.178)

That is what it is.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:30.319)

And the world shall, uh, accept that-

Unknown Speaker (00:05:32.838)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:05:32.978)

... I guess. I don't know.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:35.399)

Um, so this episode, uh, is, uh, interesting. Alex, uh, lies about a fair number of things.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:39.959)

True.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:40.158)

And, uh, is full of shit. And so we'll talk about that.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:43.519)

Uh, but first, let's take a little moment to say hello to some new wonks.

Unknown Speaker (00:05:46.218)

So thank you so much too. I'm Redneck Matt, and my wife thought Alex was calling Jar Jar Binks a loser little

Unknown Speaker (00:06:30.399)

Unknown Speaker (00:06:35.579)

Four stars. Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant.

Unknown Speaker (00:06:39.519)

Someone, someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop.

Unknown Speaker (00:06:42.158)

Daddy shark, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom.

Unknown Speaker (00:06:44.639)

Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent. He's a loser

Unknown Speaker (00:06:50.139)

little, little titty baby. I don't wanna hate black people. I renounce Jesus Christ.

Unknown Speaker (00:06:55.259)

It really does sound like he's calling Jar Jar Binks a loser little titty baby, doesn't it?

Unknown Speaker (00:06:59.439)

I mean, I d- I'd, I wouldn't... If he were to-

Unknown Speaker (00:07:02.978)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:03.499)

... I would not get in the way.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:04.579)

Do you remember who he was calling a loser little titty baby?

Unknown Speaker (00:07:07.658)

Uh, was it Schumer?

Unknown Speaker (00:07:09.879)

Nope.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:10.259)

Was it, uh, was it Bryan Cranston?

Unknown Speaker (00:07:13.658)

Nope.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:14.119)

Oh.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:14.399)

You can keep going if you like.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:15.559)

No, I don't think I want to.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:16.478)

Colin Kaepernick.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:17.478)

Colin Kaepernick?

Unknown Speaker (00:07:18.639)

Yep. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:07:19.139)

Really?

Unknown Speaker (00:07:19.678)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:20.278)

Man, that feels like a million years ago.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:22.899)

It sure was.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:23.598)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:24.319)

So, uh, today, uh, we're jumping off here, and, uh, turns out Trump is, uh, seizing control of the CIA.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:30.598)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:30.718)

And Alex is thrilled about it.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:32.738)

Trump and Musk and us, all of us, we are over the target.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:38.999)

Now,

Unknown Speaker (00:07:39.999)

the developments are so incredible that I am gonna do my very best to go over it all here

Unknown Speaker (00:07:46.579)

and

Unknown Speaker (00:07:47.399)

break the latest information as it comes out.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:51.858)

But

Unknown Speaker (00:07:52.619)

what has been revealed and then what, what Trump's doing, uh,

Unknown Speaker (00:07:56.139)

Trump offered t- t- to have all the employees of the CIA quit

Unknown Speaker (00:08:01.119)

and buy them out.And then if- under the law, if they don't accept

Unknown Speaker (00:08:05.812)

that, he says all of them, knowing it's the bad ones that'll quit.

Unknown Speaker (00:08:10.392)

Then under the law, they have no recourse when he fires them.

Unknown Speaker (00:08:13.952)

That's why he's doing that.

Unknown Speaker (00:08:16.194)

All of the CIA.

Unknown Speaker (00:08:19.454)

That's how you abolish an agency and then of course, Trump won't

Unknown Speaker (00:08:22.233)

completely get rid of it, he'll just put his people in.

Unknown Speaker (00:08:23.752)

This is not a person celebrating a president attempting to make reforms

Unknown Speaker (00:08:28.252)

in the CIA. This is celebrating a hostile

Unknown Speaker (00:08:30.454)

takeover of the country's intelligence community, replacing the CIA with ideologues and loyalists.

Unknown Speaker (00:08:35.832)

Trump's new administration had the CIA send them an unclassified email that listed the past two

Unknown Speaker (00:08:40.852)

years' hires by their first name and last initial, which was a crazy thing to do.

Unknown Speaker (00:08:46.552)

Jim Himes, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said, quote, "An

Unknown Speaker (00:08:50.712)

absolutely unnecessary counterintelligence risk was assumed today." I wish this was more

Unknown Speaker (00:08:56.153)

interesting or complicated than it is, but it's pretty simple. Trump is

Unknown Speaker (00:08:59.774)

taking over the government and purging dissent with the offer of a buyout being the carrot

Unknown Speaker (00:09:03.913)

that's gonna be followed by the stick if need be.

Unknown Speaker (00:09:06.113)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (00:09:06.773)

Also, Trump did this in early February and he's still alive. If the premise is supposed to be that

Unknown Speaker (00:09:11.113)

JFK was killed 'cause he was gonna get rid of the CIA, this kind of hurts the conspiracy.

Unknown Speaker (00:09:15.472)

Like, he shouldn't be able to do this-

Unknown Speaker (00:09:17.253)

No.

Unknown Speaker (00:09:17.533)

... based on everything that Alex's world view is built on.

Unknown Speaker (00:09:21.413)

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it does feel like, first off, if you have

Unknown Speaker (00:09:27.773)

a big bad guy with a super powerful secret intelligence agency,

Unknown Speaker (00:09:31.793)

um, the idea that it would just go, "Oh, the boss says we have to be dumb now,"

Unknown Speaker (00:09:37.332)

Uh-huh.

Unknown Speaker (00:09:37.653)

... sounds crazy.

Unknown Speaker (00:09:38.653)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:09:39.293)

Uh, so, you know it's real because apparently our agencies just go, "I guess we're stupid."

Unknown Speaker (00:09:44.393)

Hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:09:44.893)

The end.

Unknown Speaker (00:09:45.432)

I guess we're being forced to be dumb.

Unknown Speaker (00:09:47.052)

(laughs) We-

Unknown Speaker (00:09:47.913)

This is really unwise.

Unknown Speaker (00:09:48.993)

We're, we're, we're the people who have our tendrils inside the governments of every major nation

Unknown Speaker (00:09:55.033)

on this planet. Oh, sorry, we're dumb now. My bad.

Unknown Speaker (00:09:57.852)

So, the reality and the existence of the present undermines the premise of the past-

Unknown Speaker (00:10:02.793)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:10:03.452)

... uh, in Alex's world.

Unknown Speaker (00:10:05.332)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:10:05.432)

And I think that that's something that I, I can't imagine how he deals with.

Unknown Speaker (00:10:10.753)

Uh, I th- I would actua- you know what? I might even go so far as to say the existence of the present

Unknown Speaker (00:10:15.633)

should kind of re- re- make us think about how we all thought about the past.

Unknown Speaker (00:10:21.793)

I think, sure. No, I definitely think so. I think so.

Unknown Speaker (00:10:25.092)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:10:25.552)

That's, that is a universal thing, um,

Unknown Speaker (00:10:29.013)

but it's particularly pointed in the world of conspiracy theories.

Unknown Speaker (00:10:32.592)

That's true.

Unknown Speaker (00:10:33.352)

Um, and the overpowered, all-powerfulness of like, let's say, the CIA.

Unknown Speaker (00:10:38.153)

Yeah. No, I mean, you know, in a way you could say

Unknown Speaker (00:10:41.373)

that this was the culmination of conspiracy theorists wanting one of them to be true.

Unknown Speaker (00:10:45.732)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:10:46.133)

So they made a conspiracy happen

Unknown Speaker (00:10:48.712)

and then it took over, and now they're realizing that they were never really that smart in the first place.

Unknown Speaker (00:10:53.633)

No. And other ones were true, they just weren't that interesting to this brand of person-

Unknown Speaker (00:10:58.153)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:10:58.533)

... like Alex.

Unknown Speaker (00:10:59.133)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:10:59.893)

Anyway, Doge.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:01.552)

Great.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:02.393)

Great.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:02.873)

I said it.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:03.773)

The present is great.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:05.893)

So, I have, I've been working on a theory.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:09.113)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:09.493)

And that is the second that someone says

Unknown Speaker (00:11:12.952)

"Doge,"

Unknown Speaker (00:11:14.373)

there should be an emergency button.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:16.413)

Like, t- the idea that you would name this bullshit, fake, uh, government oversight thing-

Unknown Speaker (00:11:23.273)

Yeah, absolutely.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:23.913)

... after a meme coin.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:25.052)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:25.452)

Like, it's just crisis. Crisis. Crisis.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:28.072)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:29.393)

No, no, I mean, yeah, the, but one of the big problems that we

Unknown Speaker (00:11:32.153)

have is whenever things are illegal, there is no immediate things happen button.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:35.893)

If, if like Soros was, uh, doing a government oversight thing and it was named after a meme coin-

Unknown Speaker (00:11:42.253)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:42.513)

... that he had, but was doing a lot of stuff that I supported, still an emergency.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:47.513)

Still an emergency.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:48.352)

Still an emergency.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:49.472)

That's how it works.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:51.013)

So anyway, they're in the FBI now. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:11:52.893)

Cool.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:53.972)

Cool, cool, cool.

Unknown Speaker (00:11:55.033)

Then, Doge is inside the FBI. They've been there for two days. I told you, big

Unknown Speaker (00:12:00.692)

stuff's about to break. The FBI has been illegally

Unknown Speaker (00:12:04.812)

paying all sorts of groups, Infiltrate, to set people up.

Unknown Speaker (00:12:09.572)

They paid the provocateurs, they had thousands of them there on January

Unknown Speaker (00:12:12.653)

6th. The FBI director Persinger who's helped in Congress, he's already been caught in lies.

Unknown Speaker (00:12:16.013)

It's a lot bigger than what's already come out.

Unknown Speaker (00:12:19.352)

I mean, for God's sakes, there's video of hundreds of them

Unknown Speaker (00:12:22.072)

in antifa gear putting Trump gear on. I mean, it's ridiculous, and Fed that broke through the windows, fake

Unknown Speaker (00:12:28.712)

arrests and taking their handcuffs off and high-fiving them. We have them.

Unknown Speaker (00:12:33.432)

So you're hearing the media, "Oh, it's about the J6

Unknown Speaker (00:12:35.552)

Committee and the illegal stuff it did, destroying evidence, witness tampering, paying people,

Unknown Speaker (00:12:41.673)

falsifying evidence." No, that's a small part of it. It, it's the people that ran the J6

Unknown Speaker (00:12:48.033)

in Congress with Pelosi, quarterbacked the attack with a special FBI unit.

Unknown Speaker (00:12:53.793)

We already know the name, we know who did it.

Unknown Speaker (00:12:55.913)

So all this stuff about January 6th is bullshit, but

Unknown Speaker (00:12:58.312)

if Alex has all these names and all that stuff, then he should probably report them. I know he whines about

Unknown Speaker (00:13:02.913)

Ray Epps and all that shit, but based on the level of the case

Unknown Speaker (00:13:05.913)

that he's saying he can make, he needs to provide more details.

Unknown Speaker (00:13:09.533)

I thi- I think that, uh, Alex is telling a stupid story here.

Unknown Speaker (00:13:13.373)

If Nancy Pelosi and the secret, uh, FBI unit here, they planned January

Unknown Speaker (00:13:17.373)

6th, which in Alex's mind is a false-flag attempted overthrow of the country, am I supposed to

Unknown Speaker (00:13:22.513)

believe that they left behind clues that Elon Musk's crack team of young racists are just gonna

Unknown Speaker (00:13:27.192)

walk in and find? If they're willing to go through

Unknown Speaker (00:13:29.832)

so much effort to break the law in secret to get their way, don't you

Unknown Speaker (00:13:33.192)

think they would have killed Trump or Musk by now? They wouldn't just

Unknown Speaker (00:13:36.452)

leave like, "Uh-oh, they're gonna find, they're gonna find the, the, the murder weapon."

Unknown Speaker (00:13:41.212)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:13:41.552)

Please.

Unknown Speaker (00:13:42.133)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:13:42.653)

These globalists in Alex's head have the power to pull off any

Unknown Speaker (00:13:45.513)

fantastic villain plot he can imagine, but are somehow limited by

Unknown Speaker (00:13:49.072)

stupid shit like paperwork. If there's some evidence in the FBI that proves that Nancy Pelosi and a

Unknown Speaker (00:13:54.493)

secret team planned January 6th, they aren't gonna leave it to some possible

Unknown Speaker (00:13:58.052)

court injunction to say that Musk's guys can't look at that stuff.

Unknown Speaker (00:14:02.153)

If they're evil enough and good enough at planning to handle the first part, they

Unknown Speaker (00:14:06.352)

wouldn't handle the second part the way they have. It's character inconsistency.

Unknown Speaker (00:14:12.253)

This is gonna become a major problem for Alex as the second Trump administration goes along.

Unknown Speaker (00:14:17.052)

The opposition that he's built up as being all run by demons and

Unknown Speaker (00:14:20.472)

super competent conspirators has shown itself to be

Unknown Speaker (00:14:22.972)

pretty incompetent against Trump's blitz of seasoned power, which makes no sense.

Unknown Speaker (00:14:27.952)

They're supposed to have superpowers. They can see the future and shit. They've been doing this since

Unknown Speaker (00:14:34.092)

Jesus was alive.

Unknown Speaker (00:14:35.393)

Yes.

Unknown Speaker (00:14:36.293)

As time goes on, we'll likely see the institutional power that exists as an opposition party to Trump lose

Unknown Speaker (00:14:41.913)

a lot of the traction that it has. The Democrats, not all but many, seem to be

Unknown Speaker (00:14:46.753)

unable to navigate this moment politically, which limits the checks on

Unknown Speaker (00:14:50.413)

power that Congress can have, and the Supreme

Unknown Speaker (00:14:52.533)

Court is dubious at best. I imagine that we're gonna see a

Unknown Speaker (00:14:55.812)

lot more grassroots type of entities that are gonna exist as forces, forces actually

Unknown Speaker (00:15:00.373)

pushing back against Trump. So the move you're gonna

Unknown Speaker (00:15:03.072)

see is Alex connecting these things to his existing villains.

Unknown Speaker (00:15:07.232)

He needs to do that for narrative purposes, like how he used those

Unknown Speaker (00:15:10.513)

fake contracts that someone found on, uh, online

Unknown Speaker (00:15:13.552)

to claim that Soros was behind the Black Lives Matter protests.

Unknown Speaker (00:15:16.472)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:15:17.013)

And, uh, that's what's going to happen.

Unknown Speaker (00:15:19.052)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:15:19.072)

You're gonna see

Unknown Speaker (00:15:20.373)

organic

Unknown Speaker (00:15:21.712)

things connected to Hillary Clinton, you know?

Unknown Speaker (00:15:24.893)

Yeah. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:15:25.592)

'Cause otherwise Alex can't tell those stories.

Unknown Speaker (00:15:27.932)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:15:29.812)

Yeah, uh, here, the one thing that I would, I, I think, uh, about these particular people

Unknown Speaker (00:15:35.873)

is I feel a lot more comfortable when they and law enforcement are in a far more, uh, uh,

Unknown Speaker (00:15:43.932)

uh, confrontational arrangement.

Unknown Speaker (00:15:46.533)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:15:46.673)

I do not like them feeling like law enforcement has their back. That's no good. That is no good at all.

Unknown Speaker (00:15:51.852)

You mean folks like Alex?

Unknown Speaker (00:15:52.972)

Yeah. No, thank you.

Unknown Speaker (00:15:54.212)

Well-

Unknown Speaker (00:15:54.472)

No, thank you.

Unknown Speaker (00:15:54.832)

... I think that there is a part of his brain that always kind of thought

Unknown Speaker (00:15:59.793)

like, true law enforcement has my back.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:02.253)

Yeah, absolutely.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:03.273)

Uh-

Unknown Speaker (00:16:03.552)

'Cause true law enforcement is fascism. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:16:05.493)

Sure. And he had some of that.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:07.452)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:07.873)

But in, in, in reality, he wouldn't have any expectation that the police...... are going to-

Unknown Speaker (00:16:13.767)

(laughs) Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:14.807)

And now,

Unknown Speaker (00:16:16.087)

I think you'd have much more of an expectation that like, "Nah, the system is on your side."

Unknown Speaker (00:16:19.966)

Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I, I, I mean, yeah. Now's not the time

Unknown Speaker (00:16:23.567)

to, uh, to be like, "Hey, the FBR sucks." Don't do it now.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:26.587)

Hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:26.647)

Now's not the time.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:27.687)

Well...

Unknown Speaker (00:16:28.087)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:16:29.606)

Yeah, it, it's not not to time though, too.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:31.846)

Fair enough. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:16:32.467)

(laughs) I mean... Anyway, the globalists are done.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:35.527)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:35.907)

They're fucking done.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:36.967)

All right.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:37.227)

Except maybe they're not. They might do a suitcase nuke.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:38.647)

God damn it.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:39.746)

Maybe?

Unknown Speaker (00:16:40.086)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:40.147)

But they're done.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:41.147)

The entire old globalist order is...

Unknown Speaker (00:16:44.706)

been swept away.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:46.386)

And their death throes

Unknown Speaker (00:16:49.148)

are spectacular and also dangerous. And we're now at the maximum point of danger, where the COG

Unknown Speaker (00:16:55.287)

globalist system is being taken over by Trump.

Unknown Speaker (00:16:59.947)

I'd use the analogy of in

Unknown Speaker (00:17:02.246)

2001: Space Odyssey, when the astronaut

Unknown Speaker (00:17:04.307)

gets back here to turn off the AI that just killed the other

Unknown Speaker (00:17:06.707)

astronauts. And he gets in the airlock and he's turning off the brain functions.

Unknown Speaker (00:17:12.686)

And the robot's saying,

Unknown Speaker (00:17:14.707)

"I'm afraid, Dave.

Unknown Speaker (00:17:17.146)

I'm afraid."

Unknown Speaker (00:17:19.586)

And then

Unknown Speaker (00:17:21.086)

as his higher functions just turn off and he goes,

Unknown Speaker (00:17:23.807)

"I'm losing my mind, Dave. Please don't, Dave.

Unknown Speaker (00:17:29.507)

Please stop, Dave."

Unknown Speaker (00:17:33.326)

And then finally, "I am a HAL 9000 computer.

Unknown Speaker (00:17:38.606)

I was manufactured in Chicago, Illinois for the..." I mean, it, it's, it's, it's,

Unknown Speaker (00:17:46.487)

it's

Unknown Speaker (00:17:47.987)

happening.

Unknown Speaker (00:17:49.626)

(whistles) And the globalists could set off suitcase nukes

Unknown Speaker (00:17:53.747)

and blame Russia, Iran. They could kill Trump, blame Iran.

Unknown Speaker (00:17:58.666)

That's the one big screw-up I see, is

Unknown Speaker (00:18:01.366)

Trump saying, "If I get killed, I've put orders behind to

Unknown Speaker (00:18:04.027)

totally obliterate Iran." Oh great, then the deep state kills you and then

Unknown Speaker (00:18:07.106)

blames Iran. And then the public could possibly be convinced that it's true, and then they

Unknown Speaker (00:18:12.086)

have their cake and eat it too. Not good.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:14.507)

Not good.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:15.906)

I, I, uh... Before we go any further-

Unknown Speaker (00:18:18.826)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:19.166)

... I just wanna make sure 'cause I hope, I hope this is true.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:22.567)

Now I'm not sure, right? Uh, the president can't leave, like, "You have to do this if I die" orders.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:28.547)

I, I, uh, no- nothing's stopping anyone from doing that-

Unknown Speaker (00:18:33.146)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:33.186)

... in a free country.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:34.166)

Right, but they can't do that, right?

Unknown Speaker (00:18:35.906)

Uh...

Unknown Speaker (00:18:36.307)

(laughs) Like, they can't do that. They can't

Unknown Speaker (00:18:37.967)

be like, "Well, the president said it before he got murdered, so now we have to do it."

Unknown Speaker (00:18:41.086)

Well, you see-

Unknown Speaker (00:18:41.366)

Like, that's not okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:42.086)

But you're talking about something different. You're talking about whether or not it's binding.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:46.586)

Right, exactly.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:47.586)

Anyone can make-

Unknown Speaker (00:18:48.846)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:49.047)

... these orders.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:49.626)

Sure. Fair enough.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:50.207)

Once a person's dead-

Unknown Speaker (00:18:50.807)

Fair enough.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:51.027)

... you don't have to do it. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:18:51.866)

That's what I'm saying.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:52.606)

Yeah, no. I don't think so.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:52.906)

That's what I'm saying. There are no binding,

Unknown Speaker (00:18:54.707)

uh, y- we have no like, "Oh, he's the president fore- forever even if he's dead" rules.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:58.686)

No.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:58.987)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:18:59.126)

I, I don't think that you could, like, unearth some secret Abraham Lincoln missive-

Unknown Speaker (00:19:04.646)

You don't know that now though!

Unknown Speaker (00:19:06.126)

(laughs) No.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:06.247)

You don't know anymore! (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:19:07.826)

(laughs) I don't think you could do that. But that would be great. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:19:11.707)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:19:12.987)

There'd just be a whole new industry of, like, forged-

Unknown Speaker (00:19:15.106)

Discovering we're all Joseph Smith now. We're all finding-

Unknown Speaker (00:19:18.507)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:18.507)

... golden tablets left and right.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:19.967)

Yeah. Just a bunch of forged executive orders from-

Unknown Speaker (00:19:22.106)

Holy shit.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:22.747)

... dead people.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:22.987)

I've got your Monroe Doctrine here.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:24.727)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:24.866)

Boom! Found it!

Unknown Speaker (00:19:26.027)

The new Monroe Doctrine.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:27.747)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:19:28.586)

Um, yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:29.547)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:29.586)

I think it opens up a

Unknown Speaker (00:19:31.467)

very unsettling-

Unknown Speaker (00:19:32.626)

Probably not a good idea.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:33.507)

... world of possibilities.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:35.106)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:35.586)

But that was a good impression of, uh, Hal.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:37.467)

(laughs) That wasn't terrible, I guess.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:39.686)

So I think that oftentimes, people try to use, um, like, movie metaphors and shit-

Unknown Speaker (00:19:45.487)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:45.567)

... to make th- concepts more understandable to laypeople.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:50.227)

True.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:50.366)

And I'm putting it in quotes 'cause it's-

Unknown Speaker (00:19:51.846)

Yeah, yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:51.926)

... you know, it's a little condescending.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:53.166)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:53.666)

But, like, uh,

Unknown Speaker (00:19:55.467)

i- in Alex's world, he just does

Unknown Speaker (00:19:58.186)

movie stuff.

Unknown Speaker (00:19:59.527)

Like, he's not even trying to, like,

Unknown Speaker (00:20:01.747)

make a hard-to-understand concept more relatable.

Unknown Speaker (00:20:04.646)

Mm-mm.

Unknown Speaker (00:20:05.106)

It's just, "Oh, I thought of that movie."

Unknown Speaker (00:20:07.826)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:20:07.926)

That's it. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:20:08.666)

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:20:09.747)

It's fucked up. He's stupid.

Unknown Speaker (00:20:11.586)

Y- yeah. It's, uh, I think a lot of people want the idea to be like what you described as like, "Oh,

Unknown Speaker (00:20:16.426)

well, I read all this Plato." Right?

Unknown Speaker (00:20:19.106)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:20:19.106)

"But, you know, we're several thousand years later, so we've got a lot of culture built up, so I can kinda

Unknown Speaker (00:20:23.567)

lead you through those ideas through Star Wars or whatever."

Unknown Speaker (00:20:26.507)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:20:27.166)

Alex is like, "I saw a bird outside. That's like that movie. There's a Bird outside."

Unknown Speaker (00:20:31.787)

Birdman.

Unknown Speaker (00:20:32.406)

Yep. There we go. Nailed it.

Unknown Speaker (00:20:33.666)

Um, also, Plato left behind

Unknown Speaker (00:20:37.386)

some things to do after he died. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:20:38.906)

Oh, shit!

Unknown Speaker (00:20:39.487)

(laughing) I just found them.

Unknown Speaker (00:20:40.366)

God damn it!

Unknown Speaker (00:20:41.307)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:20:41.487)

What isn't binding these days?

Unknown Speaker (00:20:43.247)

So, um, uh, Trump is, uh, trying to fire all these CIA people.

Unknown Speaker (00:20:48.247)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (00:20:48.586)

And then he's gonna get rid of the Department of Education.

Unknown Speaker (00:20:51.527)

All right.

Unknown Speaker (00:20:52.086)

For people that don't understand statutorily,

Unknown Speaker (00:20:54.866)

when Trump goes to all these federal agencies and says, "All of you can quit,

Unknown Speaker (00:20:59.467)

anybody,

Unknown Speaker (00:21:00.547)

and I'll give you a one-year buyout of your salary," in the Executive Branch under the law,

Unknown Speaker (00:21:08.886)

there's a lot of people he can just get rid of outright, but, uh, other people, there's a p- procedure

Unknown Speaker (00:21:13.646)

or they can have some legal standing and tie things up in court.

Unknown Speaker (00:21:16.707)

So Trump has initiated

Unknown Speaker (00:21:18.767)

the different laws and provisions that if he gives them a buyout plan

Unknown Speaker (00:21:22.406)

and then they don't take it, they can be fired.

Unknown Speaker (00:21:27.106)

So it's hilarious to watch all this is happening.

Unknown Speaker (00:21:29.866)

Very funny.

Unknown Speaker (00:21:30.166)

And then, of course, they said, "Why are you, you know, putting McMahon in, uh, at, uh,

Unknown Speaker (00:21:37.007)

Department of Education?" He said, "To shut

Unknown Speaker (00:21:38.207)

it down. But first we gotta find out where all the money that's been stolen or the criminals

Unknown Speaker (00:21:41.307)

are, but we'll, we'll be shutting it down and giving it back to the states."

Unknown Speaker (00:21:46.707)

And they just go, "Ugh."

Unknown Speaker (00:21:49.227)

They're like, "You're not gonna shut it down, are you?"

Unknown Speaker (00:21:52.007)

He's supposed to say, "Oh, no, media.

Unknown Speaker (00:21:53.386)

No corporate media. I, I, I... Yeah,

Unknown Speaker (00:21:55.366)

I'm gonna shut it down." And they just go down the list of the agencies that are (whistles)

Unknown Speaker (00:22:03.047)

who are globalist parasites at war with us on record.

Unknown Speaker (00:22:07.426)

This kinda has to feel like an insult if you're Linda McMahon.

Unknown Speaker (00:22:10.846)

Hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:22:11.287)

The only reason that you would be justified as a nominee for the Secretary of Education if-

Unknown Speaker (00:22:15.446)

is if the plan's to destroy the agency.

Unknown Speaker (00:22:18.007)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:22:18.227)

Kinda feels like, uh, maybe she's actually just a super rich person who Trump knows well and is eely, easily

Unknown Speaker (00:22:23.967)

controllable based on the dirt he undoubtedly has on her and her husband.

Unknown Speaker (00:22:28.106)

What could, what dirt could they possibly have on them?

Unknown Speaker (00:22:30.507)

I mean... (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:22:31.386)

Those people are clean as a whistle-

Unknown Speaker (00:22:34.106)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:22:34.247)

... my friend.

Unknown Speaker (00:22:34.987)

Yeah, when you think of pillars of the community, you think of Vince fucking McMahon.

Unknown Speaker (00:22:38.727)

Absolutely.

Unknown Speaker (00:22:39.747)

Um,

Unknown Speaker (00:22:40.846)

come on now.

Unknown Speaker (00:22:41.626)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:22:42.747)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:22:44.846)

I w- I would like that. I think, I think

Unknown Speaker (00:22:47.227)

that would be a compliment to me, personally, if somebody was like, "Oh, the only reason Jordan was hired to

Unknown Speaker (00:22:54.106)

helm this organization was clearly to destroy it."

Unknown Speaker (00:22:56.747)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:22:56.926)

Because that would be like, "Yes, that's who I am.

Unknown Speaker (00:22:59.606)

That's what I'm here for." Right? "You have, you have correctly understood me."

Unknown Speaker (00:23:03.186)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:03.527)

I don't know if that's a compliment for Stephanie McMahon 'cause I think

Unknown Speaker (00:23:06.067)

she thinks she's going to really revolutionize it-

Unknown Speaker (00:23:09.007)

Well, here's the good news.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:09.826)

... and make it better.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:10.267)

Stephanie McMahon is her daughter who got kidnapped by Triple H-

Unknown Speaker (00:23:12.926)

Right, whatever.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:13.186)

... and married in Las Vegas.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:14.707)

Right, right. Linda McMahon is her... Why?

Unknown Speaker (00:23:15.967)

And then was kidnapped by the-

Unknown Speaker (00:23:17.126)

Jesus Christ.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:18.586)

... dark-

Unknown Speaker (00:23:18.866)

Why do we even say Stephanie McMahon?

Unknown Speaker (00:23:20.527)

Why-

Unknown Speaker (00:23:21.086)

It's just because.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:21.906)

Because she's-

Unknown Speaker (00:23:22.487)

She's her actual daughter-

Unknown Speaker (00:23:23.547)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:23.686)

... who was kidnapped-

Unknown Speaker (00:23:24.646)

By Triple H and then married.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:26.467)

We're not really gonna allow this to happen, right?

Unknown Speaker (00:23:28.886)

Uh, barely we are.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:31.086)

What if it is all a work?

Unknown Speaker (00:23:33.686)

Have you considered that? What if this is all prof-

Unknown Speaker (00:23:35.787)

The government is now WWE?

Unknown Speaker (00:23:37.747)

... the whole... Yeah, absolutely.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:38.727)

Hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:40.787)

Well,

Unknown Speaker (00:23:42.527)

I think the good news is-

Unknown Speaker (00:23:43.987)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:44.207)

...

Unknown Speaker (00:23:44.826)

that

Unknown Speaker (00:23:45.967)

Trump is a heel.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:48.227)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:48.426)

And they generally lose at the end.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:50.287)

There we go. We've got, we've got positive-

Unknown Speaker (00:23:51.987)

So that's positive.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:52.247)

Yeah, we got positivity going! I like this.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:54.626)

I guess.

Unknown Speaker (00:23:55.527)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:23:57.606)

Uh, but I, I worry that in the world of,

Unknown Speaker (00:24:01.967)

uh, modern time and, and the McM- McMahon family, maybe-

Unknown Speaker (00:24:05.747)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:05.846)

... Trump isn't a heel.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:07.247)

Okay, let me throw this out there.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:08.747)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:09.426)

Undertaker.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:10.527)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:10.987)

All right?

Unknown Speaker (00:24:11.446)

Well, he's Mark now. Mark Caloway.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:12.967)

Supreme Court building.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:14.307)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:14.906)

Top of it. Choke slam.... Trump to the bottom. You know what I'm saying?

Unknown Speaker (00:24:19.470)

Well, I, I, you-

Unknown Speaker (00:24:20.148)

That's dramatic.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:20.989)

You know, there's a thing called Wrestler's Court, uh,

Unknown Speaker (00:24:24.390)

where people would, if they, if they violated the sort of rules of, uh-

Unknown Speaker (00:24:29.249)

Kayfabe?

Unknown Speaker (00:24:29.890)

Uh-

Unknown Speaker (00:24:30.108)

The like?

Unknown Speaker (00:24:30.769)

Yeah, that could be.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:31.689)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:31.729)

Or if they just, uh, were kind of dicks to the other wrestlers, and-

Unknown Speaker (00:24:34.390)

Fair enough. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:34.788)

... they would have to go to Wrestler's Court.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:36.788)

All right.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:37.169)

And Undertaker presided over that. So he could be in the Supreme Court.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:41.128)

Hell, yes.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:41.608)

He has experience.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:42.809)

Hell, yes.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:43.650)

(laughs) Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:44.048)

We have already made a much better country-

Unknown Speaker (00:24:46.970)

Oh, God.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:47.068)

... in such a short period of time.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:48.868)

Yeah. Pack the Supreme Court with legends.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:51.788)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:24:53.309)

(laughs) Stone Cold, he's been there.

Unknown Speaker (00:24:57.749)

I finally found out what Austin 3:16 means, so I'm excited.

Unknown Speaker (00:25:01.108)

That's true, yeah. You now know.

Unknown Speaker (00:25:02.309)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:25:03.108)

So Musk-

Unknown Speaker (00:25:04.068)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:25:04.189)

Elon Musk is fucking great. And we know that 'cause Alex says it every day.

Unknown Speaker (00:25:08.509)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:25:09.128)

And so he can hire anybody he wants, and so he sends in

Unknown Speaker (00:25:13.470)

Elon Musk, that knows how to go into a company. Look what he did

Unknown Speaker (00:25:16.189)

at X. Look what he did at, eh, everywhere. Look what he did with

Unknown Speaker (00:25:20.608)

Tesla. That wasn't doing well till he came in and got it.

Unknown Speaker (00:25:23.689)

Then he slept and lived at the factory for a year till he got it done.

Unknown Speaker (00:25:26.749)

So, no, I mean, Musk is everything you've heard and more.

Unknown Speaker (00:25:30.509)

(coughs) So, so of course he's the guy to send in. Totally legal, totally lawful. So they get

Unknown Speaker (00:25:35.368)

Hakeem Jeffries and

Unknown Speaker (00:25:37.769)

Pocahontas. I've got all the clips here,

Unknown Speaker (00:25:41.088)

saying, "He's in your Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid. He's stealing it all right now.

Unknown Speaker (00:25:46.548)

He's giving it to the Communist Chinese. He, he's in your personal data."

Unknown Speaker (00:25:52.308)

Oh, and all these globalist commies weren't?

Unknown Speaker (00:25:54.648)

He's not in the little data. He's in the big chunks where hundreds of millions here, billions there.

Unknown Speaker (00:26:01.669)

Uh, they just released last night 100 billion

Unknown Speaker (00:26:06.128)

that was given in COVID relief to, quote, "Europe" to all these, quote,

Unknown Speaker (00:26:10.989)

"scammers" that were just set up. And let, yeah, scammers, globalist CIA,

Unknown Speaker (00:26:16.148)

Soros groups, that's coming out now.

Unknown Speaker (00:26:18.669)

And then, oh God, it was set up and they just got 100 billion, all

Unknown Speaker (00:26:21.628)

of it got stolen, every dime. (whistles) Precision incompetence.

Unknown Speaker (00:26:26.409)

Quote, "Europe." So it's interesting that Doge discovered this 100

Unknown Speaker (00:26:31.209)

billion in fraud around COVID relief spending, because an

Unknown Speaker (00:26:34.108)

AP investigation from 2023 found, quote, that, "Fraudsters potentially stole more than $280

Unknown Speaker (00:26:39.588)

billion in COVID-19 relief funding. Uh, another 123 billion was wasted or misspent."

Unknown Speaker (00:26:46.189)

This investigation was made possible by the Biden Administration's Department of

Unknown Speaker (00:26:49.749)

Justice having a Pandemic Response Accountability

Unknown Speaker (00:26:52.269)

Committee, which was overseen by Michael Horowitz, who was an inspector

Unknown Speaker (00:26:55.909)

general. Surprisingly, he wasn't one of the ones that, uh,

Unknown Speaker (00:26:58.689)

Trump immediately fired after getting into office, but he probably won't last, uh, all that long.

Unknown Speaker (00:27:03.368)

Mm.

Unknown Speaker (00:27:03.528)

This huge amount of fraud was facilitated by pandemic relief programs that began during Trump's first term

Unknown Speaker (00:27:10.308)

and were run with almost no oversight. Because the severe need to, uh, aid small businesses

Unknown Speaker (00:27:15.729)

and workers while so many businesses were closed, it just created a situation that was very easy to exploit.

Unknown Speaker (00:27:21.469)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:27:21.628)

It is very unfortunate. According to the Associated Press, the

Unknown Speaker (00:27:24.868)

government has charged 2,230 people for this kind of fraud as of 2023

Unknown Speaker (00:27:30.169)

when this report came out. Doge is itself a fraud.

Unknown Speaker (00:27:34.449)

Since beginning this campaign to pretend to cut

Unknown Speaker (00:27:36.548)

government spending, they've posted a ton of

Unknown Speaker (00:27:38.368)

dishonest numbers meant to make Musk look more competent than he is.

Unknown Speaker (00:27:42.108)

For instance, there have been grants that they've claimed to have canceled within USAID

Unknown Speaker (00:27:46.868)

that have already been paid out. So in essence, they're claiming the value of those

Unknown Speaker (00:27:51.009)

contracts as savings, where in the real world, they haven't saved anything.

Unknown Speaker (00:27:55.368)

In other cases, they've made really simple and intentional errors.

Unknown Speaker (00:27:59.749)

There was a case where Musk claimed that he'd cut three USAID agreements that combined up to $2 billion.

Unknown Speaker (00:28:06.568)

He got that number because they pretended that each program was worth $655 million,

Unknown Speaker (00:28:11.989)

but in the real world, they were all contained within the same $655 million contract, so he was triple

Unknown Speaker (00:28:18.909)

counting it. They're making mistakes like this because Doge and Elon are working from the same

Unknown Speaker (00:28:23.989)

playbook as Alex. They're abusing the cement while it's wet, knowing that

Unknown Speaker (00:28:28.368)

this is the only time when you can make an imprint on it.

Unknown Speaker (00:28:31.628)

You rush out with all these, uh, flashy headlines about billions of dollars, perfect for everyone on

Unknown Speaker (00:28:36.669)

social media to repeat and get all worked up about, because you know that if you

Unknown Speaker (00:28:40.368)

waited until people had access to relevant information, your narratives would have

Unknown Speaker (00:28:43.989)

zero impact on that dry concrete. Alex understands this dynamic, and he's built an empire of bullshit

Unknown Speaker (00:28:50.409)

on it. But now we have a government behaving in the same way.

Unknown Speaker (00:28:53.628)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:28:53.848)

Which kind of helps you understand why, like, there is a gravitational

Unknown Speaker (00:28:58.729)

pull between Musk, Alex, Trump. Like, there's, there's, um, an underlying, very much bigoted worldview-

Unknown Speaker (00:29:07.689)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (00:29:08.048)

... that they all share.

Unknown Speaker (00:29:09.209)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:29:09.269)

But there is also, like, an operational, like, this is the way this works-

Unknown Speaker (00:29:13.108)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:29:13.348)

... kind of, uh, similarity.

Unknown Speaker (00:29:15.409)

Yeah, and now that they've got a situation where they can assert something

Unknown Speaker (00:29:21.209)

and no longer are we worried about, like, a pr- I'm, I'm, I, no- I don't think anybody would be

Unknown Speaker (00:29:26.648)

or should be worried about a propaganda agency

Unknown Speaker (00:29:29.308)

anymore, because they'll just say something and then people will defend them for free.

Unknown Speaker (00:29:33.769)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:29:34.269)

You know, and then the fight will happen and it'll just be the

Unknown Speaker (00:29:36.689)

fight. And it's the same fight that's been going on for 30 years or whatever.

Unknown Speaker (00:29:40.108)

Well, and if you have any concerns about anything, Elon owns Twitter, so, like-

Unknown Speaker (00:29:43.788)

There you go.

Unknown Speaker (00:29:44.368)

(laughs) You know, I think-

Unknown Speaker (00:29:45.028)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:29:45.229)

... he's-

Unknown Speaker (00:29:46.068)

Who gives a shit?

Unknown Speaker (00:29:46.828)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:29:47.249)

Right?

Unknown Speaker (00:29:47.548)

Like, if you're, if you're at all worried about messaging, uh, don't be.

Unknown Speaker (00:29:50.868)

Say something and then it'll be true-

Unknown Speaker (00:29:53.148)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:29:53.148)

... until it's not, and then it won't matter.

Unknown Speaker (00:29:54.929)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:29:55.269)

Huh?

Unknown Speaker (00:29:55.588)

And I, I think that you also should be, like... (sighs) I can't imagine

Unknown Speaker (00:30:01.288)

why anyone would be concerned about, like,

Unknown Speaker (00:30:04.009)

saying something that would get them in trouble. If it, you know, like-

Unknown Speaker (00:30:07.269)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:07.348)

... Elon probably for a lot of these tweets, in a, in a normal

Unknown Speaker (00:30:11.989)

world as we've

Unknown Speaker (00:30:13.568)

understood it-

Unknown Speaker (00:30:14.509)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:14.769)

... as we were younger, you'd get arrested for that.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:17.348)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:18.068)

The, like, it's not so much a free speech issue.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:21.528)

It is a incitement and, uh-

Unknown Speaker (00:30:25.288)

It's a whole mess.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:25.909)

It's a violation of privacy.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:27.469)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:27.469)

It's a violation of all sorts of things. Um, and, and that's just not an issue anymore.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:32.269)

Nope.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:33.548)

So that sucks.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:34.328)

Eh.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:35.348)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:30:35.729)

But it turns out

Unknown Speaker (00:30:37.229)

that Doge-

Unknown Speaker (00:30:38.229)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:38.548)

... is sort of a front organization.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:42.048)

That, oh, okay, mm, nope. Hold on. Hold on. Before we go any further.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:45.709)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:46.108)

Uh, the idea that this

Unknown Speaker (00:30:48.628)

efficiency agency would be a front agency

Unknown Speaker (00:30:51.868)

renders all words meaningless.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:53.909)

Ah, but do you think Alex is in favor of it as a front organization?

Unknown Speaker (00:30:57.729)

Obviously I'm gonna go with the latter.

Unknown Speaker (00:30:59.128)

Yeah, of course, because he loves it.

Unknown Speaker (00:31:00.509)

Yeah. Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:31:00.888)

Now Doge, for two days,

Unknown Speaker (00:31:03.469)

is at the FBI headquarters.

Unknown Speaker (00:31:09.028)

And people go, "Oh, Doge, that's

Unknown Speaker (00:31:11.189)

Elon Musk's computer programmers." No.

Unknown Speaker (00:31:14.108)

That's what the media focuses on, and they're great.

Unknown Speaker (00:31:17.068)

You know, that know, can find the back doors,

Unknown Speaker (00:31:19.209)

where the back doors are. You know, they built the NSA modern system. We've had the former director of it on,

Unknown Speaker (00:31:24.388)

William, many, many times.

Unknown Speaker (00:31:26.489)

With, starting in the '90s when they, quote, "upgraded it" with back doors for all of the

Unknown Speaker (00:31:31.808)

CIA fronts

Unknown Speaker (00:31:33.528)

and contractors, Booz

Unknown Speaker (00:31:35.648)

Allen, you know, all of them.

Unknown Speaker (00:31:38.209)

And that's all getting shut off.

Unknown Speaker (00:31:40.269)

So it's the opposite of what they say.

Unknown Speaker (00:31:43.429)

But, but who's really at the FBI is all of Kash Patel's intelligence people,

Unknown Speaker (00:31:51.469)

and that's from the Department of Doge, where Trump can immediately send his teams in to audit

Unknown Speaker (00:31:57.729)

and then instantly start flooding the corruption out, flooding the crimes.

Unknown Speaker (00:32:03.028)

And you try to even chronicle it, it's literally

Unknown Speaker (00:32:05.009)

thousands of stories just in the last 24 hours. Here's another one.

Unknown Speaker (00:32:09.409)

(coughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:32:10.868)

And I already knew this. I've explained this for years. It's come out many times but, but not the full

Unknown Speaker (00:32:14.848)

gravity. You hear about in Europe where the government

Unknown Speaker (00:32:17.548)

pays the private media, but it's really state-run. You hear about the UK and Canada,

Unknown Speaker (00:32:21.388)

'cause they don't even hide it.Well, just the USAID

Unknown Speaker (00:32:25.919)

fountain, and that's small, but it was the most arrogant.

Unknown Speaker (00:32:31.778)

And the State Department had full control of it, it's statutorily, so it was the

Unknown Speaker (00:32:34.118)

easiest to go into and the most arrogant.

Unknown Speaker (00:32:37.358)

They can tell the State Department's scree...

Unknown Speaker (00:32:38.098)

What does that even mean?

Unknown Speaker (00:32:39.199)

The damn law says State Department runs it and it reports to them.

Unknown Speaker (00:32:43.739)

S- so...

Unknown Speaker (00:32:50.059)

you've got

Unknown Speaker (00:32:52.538)

it coming out

Unknown Speaker (00:32:54.558)

and- i- i- i- the people, it's already devastating.

Unknown Speaker (00:32:57.338)

The New York Times, Politico, all of them,

Unknown Speaker (00:33:01.098)

were getting hundreds of millions of dollars a year

Unknown Speaker (00:33:06.240)

to attack patriots.

Unknown Speaker (00:33:08.699)

Smoking gun.

Unknown Speaker (00:33:10.318)

Mine truly, and Donald Trump, and his whole family-

Unknown Speaker (00:33:12.019)

Smoking gun.

Unknown Speaker (00:33:12.638)

... and Elon Musk, everybody else. Like I told you months ago, it's not just 300 million

Unknown Speaker (00:33:16.838)

that Biden put in a year ago to Reuters, that's MI6, to then

Unknown Speaker (00:33:21.818)

run hundreds of other publication attacks on Elon, his family, his businesses, PIs, harassment.

Unknown Speaker (00:33:28.439)

I said, "It's gonna be a lot more."

Unknown Speaker (00:33:31.338)

And now they found b- b- b- b-

Unknown Speaker (00:33:34.338)

b- b- b- b- billions, over two billion dollars in what they just released yesterday,

Unknown Speaker (00:33:41.298)

of

Unknown Speaker (00:33:42.519)

federal money

Unknown Speaker (00:33:44.999)

given to the corporate media.

Unknown Speaker (00:33:46.479)

So, if I understand Alex correctly, Doge is a

Unknown Speaker (00:33:49.439)

fake organization that Trump created that's full of hackers who report only to Elon

Unknown Speaker (00:33:53.898)

Musk, which serves as a front group for Trump to send in loyalists in the, like, the organizations, uh, like

Unknown Speaker (00:33:59.459)

the FBI, to internally investigate government bodies that they don't like.

Unknown Speaker (00:34:04.419)

If Doge is a way for Trump to send in Kash Patel's people to

Unknown Speaker (00:34:07.558)

subvert the law, it really seems like a flagrant conflict of interest for Doge to be looking into the FBI.

Unknown Speaker (00:34:13.478)

I don't know, I, I, this is all insane and it's just really funny to imagine

Unknown Speaker (00:34:16.858)

2001 Alex Jones trying to justify supporting this shit.

Unknown Speaker (00:34:20.018)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:34:20.719)

But as that clip went along, we saw Alex seeming to get into a specific.

Unknown Speaker (00:34:24.878)

He's covering Elon's revelations of all this supposed illegal

Unknown Speaker (00:34:27.918)

spending by just waving at a giant pile and saying, "He's doing so much, it's impossible to cover it all."

Unknown Speaker (00:34:33.679)

He seems to be continuing to do that here, but then he kind of gets into specifics.

Unknown Speaker (00:34:38.759)

He says that USAID paid corporate media billions of dollars to run attacks on patriots.

Unknown Speaker (00:34:44.918)

So Alex already misreported the story about the BBC getting money

Unknown Speaker (00:34:48.179)

from USAID, which was actually money that went to the BBC

Unknown Speaker (00:34:51.498)

Media Action charity, and he never made a correction about that, so he's not really

Unknown Speaker (00:34:55.338)

starting off from a place of credibility.

Unknown Speaker (00:34:57.639)

The next media outlet the people were posting a lot about was

Unknown Speaker (00:35:00.159)

Politico, which was not propped up by government funding. USAID had paid, uh, Politico $44,000 in

Unknown Speaker (00:35:07.139)

2- uh, 2023 and 2024 for subscriptions to Politico Pro, which is a policy tracking site.

Unknown Speaker (00:35:14.259)

The government paying for those subscriptions is like how your job might cover your access to Microsoft

Unknown Speaker (00:35:18.778)

Office. Like, this is just grasping at straws. Then Elon Musk made a

Unknown Speaker (00:35:23.219)

lot of noise claiming that the New York Times was essentially state funded by posting a screenshot

Unknown Speaker (00:35:27.898)

that appeared to show tens of millions of dollars being given to the Times. This was a

Unknown Speaker (00:35:32.219)

fraudulently presented screenshot posted by notorious

Unknown Speaker (00:35:35.099)

idiot and social media troll, Ian Miles

Unknown Speaker (00:35:37.119)

Cheong, that included all spending listed on the,

Unknown Speaker (00:35:40.099)

uh, website, USA Spending, uh, when you searched for the words, New York Times.

Unknown Speaker (00:35:44.699)

Newsweek reviewed this and found that it included a bunch of unrelated spending

Unknown Speaker (00:35:48.059)

to things like the New York Genome Center, so right off the bat, this story is a fraud.

Unknown Speaker (00:35:52.878)

As it turns out, uh, in the past 17 years, the New York

Unknown Speaker (00:35:55.998)

Times has received approximately $3.1

Unknown Speaker (00:35:57.918)

million in government spending, almost entirely on subscriptions for employees.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:02.199)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, obviously.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:03.159)

The thing to understand here is that Elon Musk is the person who's supposed to be working around the clock to

Unknown Speaker (00:36:08.039)

save all this government money, and he's amplifying bullshit tweets from known idiots that

Unknown Speaker (00:36:12.739)

lie about what the government is spending.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:14.958)

He doesn't care ab- at all about the core issue he's pretending to engage with. This is just a

Unknown Speaker (00:36:19.759)

matter of finding things that shitheads online can misrepresent

Unknown Speaker (00:36:23.139)

in order to provide cover for the real agenda that's going on that's being carried out behind the scenes.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:27.818)

Yep. Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:27.878)

That's the whole thing.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:29.539)

Jangle keys over here-

Unknown Speaker (00:36:31.039)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:31.179)

... kill everybody over there.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:32.259)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:32.478)

It's very uncomplicated.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:33.498)

Yeah. And Alex is, uh, as he has wished to be, uh,

Unknown Speaker (00:36:37.539)

i- irrelevant.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:38.518)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:38.898)

He is superfluous-

Unknown Speaker (00:36:39.798)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:39.958)

... he doesn't matter. All he's doing is sit arou- sitting around and reading the tweets.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:43.798)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:44.159)

F- fuck off.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:45.398)

I mean, yeah. I...

Unknown Speaker (00:36:47.099)

I wish to be obsolete. Congratulations.

Unknown Speaker (00:36:49.099)

You know what? To a certain extent, I will say this, there's a, if, if I'm him, right?

Unknown Speaker (00:36:55.838)

I would really be mad at the Democrats right now for not having a better resistance.

Unknown Speaker (00:37:01.398)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:37:01.659)

'Cause what else am I supposed to do? Just read tweets?

Unknown Speaker (00:37:04.199)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:37:04.938)

What are they doing? Fucking nothing!

Unknown Speaker (00:37:06.958)

Yeah. All-

Unknown Speaker (00:37:07.518)

This is wasteful.

Unknown Speaker (00:37:08.498)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:37:08.938)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:37:09.179)

And, and it's, it, I don't even think that you can credibly

Unknown Speaker (00:37:13.639)

come up with too much of a storyline that involves peril-

Unknown Speaker (00:37:18.239)

No.

Unknown Speaker (00:37:18.298)

... to the, to Trump and-

Unknown Speaker (00:37:19.918)

Absolutely not. What are they... Oh, they're gonna vote? Really?

Unknown Speaker (00:37:22.878)

Are they gonna vote? 'Cause I bet it won't matter.

Unknown Speaker (00:37:25.239)

I...

Unknown Speaker (00:37:25.659)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:37:26.298)

It's, if, if you're in Alex's position, it's, there's no credible bad guy kind of thing-

Unknown Speaker (00:37:31.759)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:37:31.759)

... to do anymore, except for,

Unknown Speaker (00:37:33.978)

I guess, a suitcase nuke might happen or something.

Unknown Speaker (00:37:36.719)

Like, can you even imagine trying to paint Chuck Schumer as a bad guy now? Or like...

Unknown Speaker (00:37:43.219)

I, I mean as, as a-

Unknown Speaker (00:37:43.739)

You know, like-

Unknown Speaker (00:37:44.518)

... i- incompetent or like-

Unknown Speaker (00:37:46.398)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:37:46.759)

... as, as someone who's not doing a good enough job, yes.

Unknown Speaker (00:37:49.239)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (00:37:49.599)

But, like, the way that Alex try... (laughs) I mean, it was

Unknown Speaker (00:37:52.199)

only like six months ago that he was screaming about Chuck Schumer not knowing how to cook meat-

Unknown Speaker (00:37:56.219)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:37:56.539)

... (laughs) and, and stuff, but that feels real silly now.

Unknown Speaker (00:37:58.559)

These masterminds no longer feel very mindy or mastery.

Unknown Speaker (00:38:02.159)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:38:02.559)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:38:03.079)

So, um, Alex has, he- he's touched on this USAID spending.

Unknown Speaker (00:38:07.998)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:38:08.259)

And it's all about how the media is all controlled, the government's paying off all of the corporate media-

Unknown Speaker (00:38:13.059)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (00:38:13.418)

... and all this, um, and so he talks about his experience with that.

Unknown Speaker (00:38:17.179)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:38:17.579)

And he is full of shit.

Unknown Speaker (00:38:18.739)

They'll put out corporate news and you'll notice at the timestamp when they have an attack on me.

Unknown Speaker (00:38:24.679)

Sometimes thousands of articles a day, 2017, '18, '19.

Unknown Speaker (00:38:31.239)

And they would all have the same exact, to the second time code, and the articles were all very

Unknown Speaker (00:38:35.418)

similar, because they all have agreements with each other too, that, "Well, we're all getting the same

Unknown Speaker (00:38:40.978)

money. We, but we do want the ratings, so

Unknown Speaker (00:38:44.239)

we all agree to publish at the same second." These are totally

Unknown Speaker (00:38:47.978)

illegal, coordinated attacks. It's illegal for the federal government to censor somebody,

Unknown Speaker (00:38:54.798)

but it's really illegal to have them pay people

Unknown Speaker (00:38:59.039)

to do that.

Unknown Speaker (00:39:00.458)

Musk just posted, "Not for long. This was obviously a huge waste of taxpayer money."

Unknown Speaker (00:39:05.518)

Uh, that's an understatement.

Unknown Speaker (00:39:07.398)

It's not just Politico, the Associated

Unknown Speaker (00:39:08.858)

Press has been raking in millions of dollars in government money for years.

Unknown Speaker (00:39:13.639)

The AP's bias also makes perfect sense. The bias?

Unknown Speaker (00:39:20.039)

It's not a bias, it's a weapons system operation mockingbird of the CIA 2.0.

Unknown Speaker (00:39:26.199)

But you guys have that now.

Unknown Speaker (00:39:27.798)

Yeah, when you get 2,000 articles published the same second, that you go to kids' graves and piss on it,

Unknown Speaker (00:39:34.139)

when you never did it and no one ever did it, but

Unknown Speaker (00:39:36.239)

they don't care, that people are like, "Come on, Alex, there's not

Unknown Speaker (00:39:38.438)

2,000 articles that say that you peed on graves."

Unknown Speaker (00:39:40.898)

This feels very specific.

Unknown Speaker (00:39:42.099)

Yeah, that's not fake.

Unknown Speaker (00:39:44.079)

Come on, Alex, there's 500 articles there that you

Unknown Speaker (00:39:47.059)

beat up your employees and there was a fish tank with a fish in it that belonged to

Unknown Speaker (00:39:51.438)

one of the employee's nieces and you grabbed it and ate it.

Unknown Speaker (00:39:55.998)

Never had a fish,

Unknown Speaker (00:39:57.878)

never killed the fish.

Unknown Speaker (00:40:00.458)

Got a fish tank at home, a saltwater tank, I love my fish. Got some fish been alive

Unknown Speaker (00:40:04.039)

11 years, my little cutie. There's actually a name for it.

Unknown Speaker (00:40:07.199)

Is this necessary?

Unknown Speaker (00:40:07.199)

But the point is, is that...

Unknown Speaker (00:40:11.139)

But my fish's name is Top Secret.

Unknown Speaker (00:40:13.418)

The point is,

Unknown Speaker (00:40:15.958)

is that that's from

Unknown Speaker (00:40:18.139)

The Wolf of Wall Street

Unknown Speaker (00:40:20.759)

and Finding Nemo, they combi- they're so lazy.

Unknown Speaker (00:40:23.358)

Ah, so lazy.

Unknown Speaker (00:40:24.239)

So lazy.

Unknown Speaker (00:40:24.858)

It's interesting how this is like a compounding

Unknown Speaker (00:40:27.159)

lie.On the first level, Alex is lying about what people have accused him of.

Unknown Speaker (00:40:31.760)

No one claimed that he ate an employee's fish.

Unknown Speaker (00:40:33.760)

His former employee said that he threw away a goldfish that another employee had brought to the

Unknown Speaker (00:40:37.320)

office in a bag. Alex has attached the Wolf of Wall

Unknown Speaker (00:40:40.121)

Street thing on, to create a straw man to pretend his

Unknown Speaker (00:40:42.501)

enemies have accused him of something in a movie. Similarly,

Unknown Speaker (00:40:45.521)

no one accused him of peeing on any child's grave.

Unknown Speaker (00:40:47.820)

We've been over this a ton of times but Alex has created this accusation up

Unknown Speaker (00:40:51.780)

so he can defend himself from a fake charge and ignore the reality of what he did and how his actions

Unknown Speaker (00:40:57.300)

have affected people in deeply traumatic ways.

Unknown Speaker (00:41:00.380)

These accusations aren't real and they weren't published in the corporate media, let alone in

Unknown Speaker (00:41:04.541)

thousands of articles that were set to release simultaneously to the second.

Unknown Speaker (00:41:08.442)

This is a further, uh, layer of the lie that

Unknown Speaker (00:41:10.762)

Alex is trying to perpetuate. I think

Unknown Speaker (00:41:12.800)

it's believable that some random people on Twitter accused Alex of eating a

Unknown Speaker (00:41:15.942)

fish or peeing on someone's grave, but that would be

Unknown Speaker (00:41:18.221)

the result of them not reading the actual stories about these subjects. It feels like,

Unknown Speaker (00:41:22.900)

like it's often the case that Alex doesn't touch any real

Unknown Speaker (00:41:25.360)

stories, choosing instead to complain about social media while pretending that he's

Unknown Speaker (00:41:29.221)

upset about something real. So, he might

Unknown Speaker (00:41:31.440)

see somebody say something in a tweet and be like, "Oh, the corporate media is accusing me of this." No.

Unknown Speaker (00:41:37.561)

No.

Unknown Speaker (00:41:38.121)

Nope.

Unknown Speaker (00:41:39.221)

It's not real.

Unknown Speaker (00:41:40.041)

It's like that joke, uh, you know, like, uh,

Unknown Speaker (00:41:43.400)

but you fuck one goat and they call you a goat fucker forever, right?

Unknown Speaker (00:41:46.521)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:41:47.081)

But it's like, he's the only one saying it. It's like, you're the only one calling... What are you doing?

Unknown Speaker (00:41:52.001)

Hm.

Unknown Speaker (00:41:52.061)

Nobody's calling you a goat fucker, man. Why are we t-

Unknown Speaker (00:41:54.621)

we're calling you a guy who hit that kid 'cause you're a monster, like, what are we doing here? Now.

Unknown Speaker (00:41:58.780)

Well, the reason, I m- it, I think in this case, it's fairly clear, and that is because

Unknown Speaker (00:42:04.681)

the reality is that these parents received harassment

Unknown Speaker (00:42:07.981)

that included someone saying they peed on their kid's grave.

Unknown Speaker (00:42:10.481)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:42:11.320)

And Alex knows deep down in his heart, he knows

Unknown Speaker (00:42:17.900)

that he facilitated that.

Unknown Speaker (00:42:19.780)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:42:20.161)

And he knows that he profited off of what led to that.

Unknown Speaker (00:42:23.760)

We did a whole thing.

Unknown Speaker (00:42:24.661)

He absolutely knows that he made a choice

Unknown Speaker (00:42:28.300)

to promote Wolfgang Halbig, who was

Unknown Speaker (00:42:30.740)

actively harassing these parents, and is part of the inspiration for why people

Unknown Speaker (00:42:35.880)

would have g- sent them a message in a letter that says that, "I peed on your kid's grave."

Unknown Speaker (00:42:40.161)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:42:40.860)

Uh, Alex knows that, and he can't allow

Unknown Speaker (00:42:45.581)

that part of his actual guilt to have any air to breathe.

Unknown Speaker (00:42:49.380)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:42:49.860)

So you create the fake accusation to accuse, uh, to, to defend yourself against,

Unknown Speaker (00:42:54.400)

uh, which is fun, and I hope he's happy.

Unknown Speaker (00:42:56.820)

Okay, let me throw this out at you.

Unknown Speaker (00:42:58.541)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:42:59.780)

What if

Unknown Speaker (00:43:01.101)

Alex was in the movie The Cell starring Jennifer Lopez?

Unknown Speaker (00:43:06.280)

Um, what abo- I don't think I've seen The Cell.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:09.800)

Oh, you haven't?

Unknown Speaker (00:43:10.641)

No.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:10.740)

Oh, man.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:12.201)

Gotta see it. It's really good.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:13.481)

I- is it about A, a prison cell, or B, a cell of a body, like a, like a, d-

Unknown Speaker (00:43:21.481)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:21.780)

... like a skin cell?

Unknown Speaker (00:43:22.681)

What happens is, Jennifer Lopez goes inside your mind-

Unknown Speaker (00:43:25.420)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:25.501)

... as like a therapist kind of thing, and then you see, uh,

Unknown Speaker (00:43:28.320)

and then it's a serial killer's mind, uh, and it's Vincent D'Onofrio-

Unknown Speaker (00:43:32.101)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:32.260)

... so it's all super cool, and it was made by the guy who made The

Unknown Speaker (00:43:34.981)

Fall or something. I don't know, I don't remember it, but it's a great movie.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:38.340)

And the point is, inside of Alex's subconscious would be a series of escalating monster tropes, uh,

Unknown Speaker (00:43:44.420)

that would keep you from learning about the truth of what he knows about himself-

Unknown Speaker (00:43:48.721)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:48.860)

... psychologically.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:49.880)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:50.300)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:50.541)

That's apt.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:51.340)

Yeah, that would be a better way of going about it.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:53.240)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:53.300)

If, if you had seen The Cell-

Unknown Speaker (00:43:54.501)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:54.501)

... th- we could have had a nice conversation about it.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:56.061)

Absolutely.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:56.420)

Would have been great.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:56.960)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:43:57.380)

This is now a mess. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:43:58.521)

Yeah. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:43:59.860)

I think you explained it all right, though.

Unknown Speaker (00:44:01.260)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:44:01.280)

I get, I get the point that you were making.

Unknown Speaker (00:44:03.460)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:44:04.041)

But I should probably see that.

Unknown Speaker (00:44:05.101)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:44:05.760)

Um, so Alex, uh, i- i- he's continuing on about this, uh, like, Politico had millions of government funding-

Unknown Speaker (00:44:12.561)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:44:12.661)

... and look what happens now.

Unknown Speaker (00:44:14.280)

Ugh.

Unknown Speaker (00:44:15.380)

Politico faces payroll issues amid revelations of US government funding.

Unknown Speaker (00:44:21.661)

O- o- oh,

Unknown Speaker (00:44:23.041)

Politico can't make their payroll because Trump froze just USAID,

Unknown Speaker (00:44:31.521)

and let me give you a newsflash, my friends, that's a small piece of this.

Unknown Speaker (00:44:35.880)

So Politico had a payroll issue on February

Unknown Speaker (00:44:38.780)

4th, which they say was caused by a technical glitch that led to a delay.

Unknown Speaker (00:44:42.141)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:44:42.561)

By the morning of the 5th, when Alex is doing

Unknown Speaker (00:44:44.701)

this show we're listening to, employees had already been paid, but because Elon and

Unknown Speaker (00:44:49.081)

Trump have been targeting the media, and Politico is one of the

Unknown Speaker (00:44:51.721)

entities that they've made erroneous claims about, the dipshits on

Unknown Speaker (00:44:54.880)

Twitter began connecting imaginary dots.

Unknown Speaker (00:44:57.641)

"This payroll issue must be because Elon stopped their money and now there's no money."

Unknown Speaker (00:45:02.601)

This is right wing and online idiots engaging in

Unknown Speaker (00:45:05.041)

a large-scale creative writing exercise, where

Unknown Speaker (00:45:07.760)

they're coming up with the reality that they want to impose on everyone else. Effects

Unknown Speaker (00:45:12.360)

happen, and then the cause is decided based on

Unknown Speaker (00:45:14.940)

whatever the loudest voices on Twitter want it to be, and that becomes reality. But

Unknown Speaker (00:45:19.900)

in the real world, USAID paid about $44,000 for subscriptions to Politico in the past two

Unknown Speaker (00:45:25.101)

years, and it's estimated that Politico

Unknown Speaker (00:45:27.061)

Pro subscriptions accounted for about $100 million in annual revenue, so

Unknown Speaker (00:45:31.320)

I don't think that ending these USAID

Unknown Speaker (00:45:33.260)

accounts would make that much of a, a dent in their ability to pay, uh, their payroll.

Unknown Speaker (00:45:38.001)

It would leave the government workers without access to an important information

Unknown Speaker (00:45:41.541)

tool and make their jobs harder, but

Unknown Speaker (00:45:43.740)

the people who are now coming into the government

Unknown Speaker (00:45:45.760)

aren't interested in doing those jobs anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

Unknown Speaker (00:45:49.041)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:45:50.240)

Yeah, sometimes you do just see in real time, like, a

Unknown Speaker (00:45:55.460)

caveman 20,000 years ago, like, doing a thing, then lightning striking and being like, "That was God."

Unknown Speaker (00:46:01.101)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:46:01.460)

"There we go. I connect those two things."

Unknown Speaker (00:46:03.101)

"I better not do that thing anymore."

Unknown Speaker (00:46:03.900)

"Very obvious that it, it was God who did it because I did the thing. Done, we're moving

Unknown Speaker (00:46:07.800)

on. Everybody, don't do that thing 'cause it's God."

Unknown Speaker (00:46:10.521)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:46:10.601)

And then, yeah, it's like,

Unknown Speaker (00:46:12.260)

"You are a caveman. What are we doing here?"

Unknown Speaker (00:46:14.320)

But this is even, like,

Unknown Speaker (00:46:16.181)

kind of more dorky.

Unknown Speaker (00:46:19.920)

Oh, it's way more dorky.

Unknown Speaker (00:46:21.021)

Because-

Unknown Speaker (00:46:21.021)

It would be a lot cooler if there was lightning.

Unknown Speaker (00:46:22.641)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:46:23.041)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:46:23.320)

And, and it's like, uh, the effect is, Politico had a payroll glitch that got resolved quickly.

Unknown Speaker (00:46:29.561)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:46:30.300)

And then the cause is, uh, your God-

Unknown Speaker (00:46:33.501)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:46:33.681)

... uh, doing something on Twitter.

Unknown Speaker (00:46:35.721)

Yeah. Oh, man.

Unknown Speaker (00:46:36.641)

And talking some shit.

Unknown Speaker (00:46:38.121)

It's not even, like, instructive for how you should behave. It's, it's just

Unknown Speaker (00:46:43.601)

background noise.

Unknown Speaker (00:46:44.581)

In the fantasy these people

Unknown Speaker (00:46:48.121)

are like, "Oh, we, we're like Norse Viking people. We

Unknown Speaker (00:46:52.340)

worship like Thor and Odin and shit." And then in real life, it's Elon Musk.

Unknown Speaker (00:46:56.880)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:46:57.400)

Jesus, that's sad.

Unknown Speaker (00:46:58.541)

Well, the val- the value of lightning

Unknown Speaker (00:47:00.141)

striking and you telling yourself, "God did that, I can't do the thing I was doing when lightning struck"-

Unknown Speaker (00:47:05.041)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:05.141)

... is to protect yourself from being struck by lightning in the future.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:08.101)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:08.400)

It is a coping mechanism or something in order to gain control over your own, uh, actions and outcomes.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:14.860)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:15.981)

If you are looking at this through the same prism, Politico had a payroll issue.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:20.661)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:21.701)

And that's the lightning strike.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:23.820)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:24.940)

I am not worried about being in that position.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:27.521)

Oh, no?

Unknown Speaker (00:47:28.061)

But you have to appease the God which is Elon Musk.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:32.101)

It's sad.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:32.641)

It's very sad. Everybody should do something else with their time.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:36.141)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:36.501)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:36.860)

So Elon has taken over the government and that's totally cool-

Unknown Speaker (00:47:39.440)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:39.440)

... 'cause Alex loves that.

Unknown Speaker (00:47:41.521)

Um, Doge is inside the FBI,

Unknown Speaker (00:47:47.400)

and

Unknown Speaker (00:47:49.701)

how they do it is, Elon talks to all the experts, talks to all Trump people, talks to the

Unknown Speaker (00:47:53.521)

intelligence people, and he says, "All right, well, we're waiting for

Unknown Speaker (00:47:55.840)

you to get confirmed, give me your top people."

Unknown Speaker (00:48:01.201)

And then

Unknown Speaker (00:48:02.601)

they literally march in like an army,

Unknown Speaker (00:48:06.541)

and then Musk puts one of his managers in there

Unknown Speaker (00:48:08.541)

that just stands above and is re- constantly reporting back, and Musk has got like two, you know,

Unknown Speaker (00:48:12.940)

two phone earpieces in his ear, (imitates siren) you know, just running around in, in battle joy

Unknown Speaker (00:48:23.721)

because this is a real war, ladies and gentlemen.

Unknown Speaker (00:48:26.860)

I went home at seven o'clock last night and I was mad at myself but I was cross-eyed tired

Unknown Speaker (00:48:32.081)

and I just said, "I, I, I gotta, I, I gotta rest."Trump is a

Unknown Speaker (00:48:40.630)

beast.

Unknown Speaker (00:48:41.791)

Elon Musk is a beast.

Unknown Speaker (00:48:43.811)

This is a fantasy version of what Elon's doing, but it's unbelievable

Unknown Speaker (00:48:48.090)

to think that Alex could say this with a straight face. I get that he's in favor of what Elon and Trump are

Unknown Speaker (00:48:53.152)

doing, but based on the entire premise of his career, there's no way Alex shouldn't think

Unknown Speaker (00:48:57.931)

that this is anti-democratic tyranny. Like, what he's describing is so on its face

Unknown Speaker (00:49:03.731)

fucking illegal-

Unknown Speaker (00:49:04.952)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:49:05.231)

... and just taking over. Like, it's, it's a coup.

Unknown Speaker (00:49:08.192)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:49:08.192)

What he's describing is

Unknown Speaker (00:49:10.231)

he... Before people are, are confirmed

Unknown Speaker (00:49:13.431)

to be the heads of organizations, "Give me your top

Unknown Speaker (00:49:15.632)

guys and we'll send an army in to force these agencies in line."

Unknown Speaker (00:49:19.351)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:49:19.731)

(laughs) Like, it's crazy.

Unknown Speaker (00:49:21.331)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:49:21.751)

Like, uh, imagining that Alex could support that is... (clicks tongue) It's funny.

Unknown Speaker (00:49:26.190)

If you replaced Musk and Trump with Soros and

Unknown Speaker (00:49:28.452)

Obama, it becomes a little easier to understand what a sellout Alex

Unknown Speaker (00:49:31.632)

is, except he's not really. This is in line with everything he's always

Unknown Speaker (00:49:35.811)

wanted. The problem and the confusion comes from the fact that he spent all of those years pretending to

Unknown Speaker (00:49:40.831)

support liberty and democracy. The John Birch Society could hardly have

Unknown Speaker (00:49:44.911)

dreamed of a better turn of events. A billionaire who's deeply indebted to the government to enable the

Unknown Speaker (00:49:49.911)

accumulation of his wealth is taking over the government and running propaganda

Unknown Speaker (00:49:54.070)

campaigns against government spending that he doesn't like on the social media platform he owns.

Unknown Speaker (00:50:00.411)

The opposition party can't do anything to stop it apparently, and the

Unknown Speaker (00:50:03.771)

ruling party is just entirely capitulated to the billionaire

Unknown Speaker (00:50:06.911)

who's reshaping the government in front of our eyes.

Unknown Speaker (00:50:10.090)

Corporate interests will reap huge benefits in terms of tax

Unknown Speaker (00:50:12.791)

breaks and relaxed or eliminated regulations and worker protections, and everyone else is going to get

Unknown Speaker (00:50:18.411)

fucked. This is gonna cause huge problems, but

Unknown Speaker (00:50:21.331)

Elon owns Twitter and I think he's kinda banking on being able to use that to divert blame

Unknown Speaker (00:50:25.811)

onto other people for the consequences of his actions. And like,

Unknown Speaker (00:50:30.130)

I just can't... I can't imagine someone who pretended to be

Unknown Speaker (00:50:35.210)

Alex being this.

Unknown Speaker (00:50:37.891)

Except that none of that pretend was real.

Unknown Speaker (00:50:39.990)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:50:40.931)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (00:50:41.971)

Yeah, it is, it is an interesting thing, because

Unknown Speaker (00:50:46.090)

it feels like... It was very obvious to me anyways, but I guess

Unknown Speaker (00:50:49.851)

that's not how it, it was taught, uh, to these people at school, but, like, the Great Depression

Unknown Speaker (00:50:54.731)

didn't happen in spite of the government regulating nothing and giving robber barons all of the money.

Unknown Speaker (00:51:01.550)

Hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:51:01.951)

It happened because of the government not regulating anything and giving barons all of the money.

Unknown Speaker (00:51:06.931)

But here's what happens when we completely distort everyone's ideas of cause and effect.

Unknown Speaker (00:51:12.771)

Hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:51:13.311)

(laughs) It doesn't matter anymore.

Unknown Speaker (00:51:14.911)

That is a good point. Well, I w- I'm going to say

Unknown Speaker (00:51:18.791)

now, just going off of recent history, this is probably going to lead to some sort of

Unknown Speaker (00:51:23.851)

negative e- economic outcome. I'm just gonna throw that out there.

Unknown Speaker (00:51:26.710)

I think you're not even nearly g- alone-

Unknown Speaker (00:51:29.130)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:51:29.490)

... in that, uh, assessment.

Unknown Speaker (00:51:31.670)

So, Elon tweeted something.

Unknown Speaker (00:51:32.951)

Great!

Unknown Speaker (00:51:34.610)

I think that could probably be, like, the subheadline-

Unknown Speaker (00:51:36.851)

The name of the... Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:51:37.590)

... of, like, every story that Alex has.

Unknown Speaker (00:51:39.731)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:51:40.090)

"In other news, Elon tweeted something."

Unknown Speaker (00:51:41.690)

"Here's a thing Elon tweeted about."

Unknown Speaker (00:51:43.070)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:51:43.471)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:51:43.690)

S- And this one's particularly dumb.

Unknown Speaker (00:51:45.170)

Uh-oh.

Unknown Speaker (00:51:45.911)

Oh, Elon put out a tweet last night, I read it on Owen's show. Get it, g- get it for me again where he says, "I, I,

Unknown Speaker (00:51:51.070)

I bought into America hook, line, and sinker. I believe

Unknown Speaker (00:51:53.610)

every jingoistic piece of it, and we're gonna make it real."

Unknown Speaker (00:52:01.791)

And in that statement, and I butchered it,

Unknown Speaker (00:52:05.391)

'cause I'm teleprompter-free,

Unknown Speaker (00:52:08.670)

is everything.

Unknown Speaker (00:52:10.911)

Oh, we've been taught how bad America is. Why'd everybody wanna come here? Because

Unknown Speaker (00:52:14.251)

it was the best house in a terrible neighborhood,

Unknown Speaker (00:52:18.771)

and, and it was the, the flower of the Renaissance.

Unknown Speaker (00:52:23.530)

And its ideas, if executed, empower us, and you've seen that. And

Unknown Speaker (00:52:31.771)

it's a dream, but what we dream, we can do,

Unknown Speaker (00:52:35.811)

like Musk in 10 years with SpaceX.

Unknown Speaker (00:52:39.510)

(sighs) Musk said yesterday

Unknown Speaker (00:52:43.931)

at

Unknown Speaker (00:52:44.971)

12:12 PM,

Unknown Speaker (00:52:48.590)

"I love America.

Unknown Speaker (00:52:51.090)

I

Unknown Speaker (00:52:52.170)

loved every bit of the jingoistic propaganda."

Unknown Speaker (00:52:55.911)

By the way, propaganda never means negative, it just means

Unknown Speaker (00:52:58.690)

ideas that propagate your ideas, operate you. It just means-

Unknown Speaker (00:53:02.070)

Wow.

Unknown Speaker (00:53:02.311)

... voting.

Unknown Speaker (00:53:03.090)

Doing that, huh?

Unknown Speaker (00:53:03.650)

"I loved every bit of jingoistic propaganda.

Unknown Speaker (00:53:08.490)

I believed it

Unknown Speaker (00:53:09.951)

hook, line, and sinker.

Unknown Speaker (00:53:13.650)

Now, let's make it all real."

Unknown Speaker (00:53:15.451)

So, I think that there's a misunderstanding that people have with propaganda.

Unknown Speaker (00:53:19.030)

Almost anything that's meant to convey a point can be described as propaganda

Unknown Speaker (00:53:22.771)

after the fact, but not everything is propaganda in the casual sense of the word, the way

Unknown Speaker (00:53:27.570)

people generally mean it when they say it.

Unknown Speaker (00:53:30.050)

That definition w- is more, like, stuff that's designed to make a

Unknown Speaker (00:53:33.590)

point by obscuring some aspect of reality

Unknown Speaker (00:53:35.931)

because it's inconvenient to getting

Unknown Speaker (00:53:37.510)

the message across. It's generally stuff that's deceptive, and you can definitely

Unknown Speaker (00:53:41.791)

argue that some decept- uh, deceptive content had, has been used

Unknown Speaker (00:53:45.670)

and it's made to further positive goals, so you can

Unknown Speaker (00:53:48.490)

make that distinction and argument about propaganda, but Alex is

Unknown Speaker (00:53:52.451)

kind of

Unknown Speaker (00:53:53.371)

making a dumb point.

Unknown Speaker (00:53:54.271)

Whatever you like.

Unknown Speaker (00:53:54.971)

The important thing here is the fact that Musk tweeted out that he bought into American

Unknown Speaker (00:53:59.210)

jingoistic propaganda because that is a word that has a meaning.

Unknown Speaker (00:54:03.771)

It's not about the US being the pearl of the Renaissance or whatever dumb shit Alex can riff out. Uh,

Unknown Speaker (00:54:08.931)

jingoism is inherently belligerent and militaristic.

Unknown Speaker (00:54:12.751)

Jingoism is aggressive and it starts

Unknown Speaker (00:54:15.050)

shit. The US overthrowing the Hawaiian monarchy to make it a state is jingoism.

Unknown Speaker (00:54:19.911)

Alex was supposed to be this big peace guy. You know, Trump's the

Unknown Speaker (00:54:22.931)

peace candidate, and he's over here beating off about Elon

Unknown Speaker (00:54:25.451)

tweeting that he loves jingoism. When Musk says that he bought into the

Unknown Speaker (00:54:29.210)

US jingoistic propaganda, he's saying that he's an

Unknown Speaker (00:54:31.610)

idiot who bought into colonialist ideas about subjugating what he thinks

Unknown Speaker (00:54:35.291)

are inferior countries and cultures. That's what he wants to

Unknown Speaker (00:54:38.471)

make real. That's what he's expressing in this tweet, and what Alex is, uh, celebrating.

Unknown Speaker (00:54:42.851)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (00:54:43.190)

(clears throat)

Unknown Speaker (00:54:44.130)

Nailed it. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:54:44.891)

Real sad.

Unknown Speaker (00:54:46.650)

Real shit.

Unknown Speaker (00:54:47.911)

It's pathetic.

Unknown Speaker (00:54:49.110)

But

Unknown Speaker (00:54:50.411)

if we all just buy into it.

Unknown Speaker (00:54:51.891)

I don't even like school spirit, man.

Unknown Speaker (00:54:54.731)

I didn't e- I don't even like it whenever, uh, a high school is like, "Go, team!"

Unknown Speaker (00:54:59.351)

Fuck these people.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:00.471)

I-

Unknown Speaker (00:55:00.590)

You don't know them. They don't live with you. They're not

Unknown Speaker (00:55:03.570)

following you later on in life. I don't do school spirit, man, let alone jingoism.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:08.170)

Uh-huh.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:08.710)

Shit!

Unknown Speaker (00:55:09.090)

I mean, it's one thing to be like, "I bought into US patriotic propaganda."

Unknown Speaker (00:55:14.130)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:14.690)

Then maybe you're thinking about hot dogs and 4th of July fireworks and-

Unknown Speaker (00:55:18.731)

Great.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:19.010)

... picket fences and what have you.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:20.891)

The Statue of fucking Liberty and shit.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:22.990)

US jingoistic propaganda is, like, it's a different sorta thing that he's signaling to.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:29.070)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:29.451)

And he's either... He means it that way or he's too stupid to understand what his messaging is-

Unknown Speaker (00:55:36.371)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:36.811)

... in a very dangerous way.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:39.570)

Um,

Unknown Speaker (00:55:40.931)

but if we buy into it...

Unknown Speaker (00:55:42.570)

I j- I feel like people have watched Starship Troopers wrong.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:47.150)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:47.791)

That's mainly what I'm feeling right now.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:49.670)

I know Alex has.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:50.610)

I know he has, or would 100.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:52.550)

And it's interesting, it's interesting you bring up Starship Troopers-

Unknown Speaker (00:55:54.331)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:54.331)

... 'cause that's in space, right?

Unknown Speaker (00:55:55.791)

It is in space.

Unknown Speaker (00:55:56.650)

Now, if we all-

Unknown Speaker (00:55:57.530)

It's not all in space, or in another way, everything is all in space.

Unknown Speaker (00:56:02.610)

That's true.

Unknown Speaker (00:56:03.371)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:56:03.851)

Non-Earth space.

Unknown Speaker (00:56:05.150)

Yes. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:56:06.010)

There is, uh, uh, if we all buy in-

Unknown Speaker (00:56:08.751)

Yes.

Unknown Speaker (00:56:08.971)

... to Musk's fantasies about how the world should be run-

Unknown Speaker (00:56:11.411)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:56:11.650)

... guess what happens in 10 years?

Unknown Speaker (00:56:13.510)

I don't know. I would like to know more.

Unknown Speaker (00:56:14.971)

Okay, let me just give you a little tease.

Unknown Speaker (00:56:17.010)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (00:56:18.070)

Moon vacations.

Unknown Speaker (00:56:19.391)

Now, I'm in.

Unknown Speaker (00:56:20.811)

If we just

Unknown Speaker (00:56:23.110)

cut off the parasites and the saboteurs that use crisis for control,

Unknown Speaker (00:56:27.911)

we will have

Unknown Speaker (00:56:30.291)

unlimited resources, unlimited energy. We'll be interplanetary (snaps fingers) like that.

Unknown Speaker (00:56:36.630)

If everybody got on board...... the average middle-class family, in 10 years would be able to go do

Unknown Speaker (00:56:46.585)

a cruise around the moon

Unknown Speaker (00:56:48.344)

and go spend a couple of days at a moon base.

Unknown Speaker (00:56:54.804)

Wow.

Unknown Speaker (00:56:56.626)

They've got all these cancer cures. They've already got all of it, folks.

Unknown Speaker (00:57:00.784)

And I can tell you, take one look at Trump, he's on it.

Unknown Speaker (00:57:05.945)

They had brain boosters

Unknown Speaker (00:57:08.724)

that are

Unknown Speaker (00:57:10.945)

viral 30 years ago.

Unknown Speaker (00:57:13.465)

Oh, viruses are amazing.

Unknown Speaker (00:57:15.405)

Remember the Bourne-

Unknown Speaker (00:57:17.405)

Don't.

Unknown Speaker (00:57:17.784)

... the third Bourne movie? For- Fourth Bourne? I forget what it was. The-

Unknown Speaker (00:57:22.045)

where, where, where they, they give him a virus that

Unknown Speaker (00:57:26.585)

goes in and recontours the brain

Unknown Speaker (00:57:28.744)

and it- and, and, and, and super advances your intelligence and also your

Unknown Speaker (00:57:32.445)

physical abilities? They have that.

Unknown Speaker (00:57:38.025)

Wow.

Unknown Speaker (00:57:39.704)

The problem is, it kills a percentage of people that do it.

Unknown Speaker (00:57:41.945)

That is a problem.

Unknown Speaker (00:57:42.585)

But

Unknown Speaker (00:57:43.804)

the- (laughs) The point is, ladies and gentlemen, is that...

Unknown Speaker (00:57:52.126)

fabulous things can happen.

Unknown Speaker (00:57:53.864)

This fucking idiot thinks that middle-class people are gonna have moon vacations.

Unknown Speaker (00:57:57.985)

Like no one can afford housing, but we're gonna have vo- vacations on the moon. Are you

Unknown Speaker (00:58:02.744)

kidding?

Unknown Speaker (00:58:03.625)

Come on with this, this utopian-ass bullshit. He complains about how, like Obama, uh, talking about hope-

Unknown Speaker (00:58:11.505)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:58:11.585)

... is some kind of a brainwashing with expectations of, "Oh, I promise you, uh, food

Unknown Speaker (00:58:18.405)

and your, you'll fall in line with me."

Unknown Speaker (00:58:20.525)

He's saying fall in line with Elon Musk and you'll vacation on the moon if you're middle class.

Unknown Speaker (00:58:25.264)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:58:25.565)

Fucking crazy.

Unknown Speaker (00:58:27.085)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:58:28.186)

It feels like the pyramids, right? Okay. But

Unknown Speaker (00:58:32.545)

at least, this is what I would think if I was- if I'm an Egyptian, I'm thinking, "Well, at least the pharaoh

Unknown Speaker (00:58:37.744)

has the decency to say that we're all gonna spend our lives building this thing

Unknown Speaker (00:58:42.304)

just so he can feel good forever."

Unknown Speaker (00:58:44.385)

Just so he can vacation on the moon.

Unknown Speaker (00:58:46.304)

Like, yeah. We're upfront about this, right? He didn't have the

Unknown Speaker (00:58:48.724)

balls to be like, "Hey, no, we make this one and then everybody will have a pyramid. Fuck you, Pharaoh."

Unknown Speaker (00:58:54.284)

"We'll all have pyramids."

Unknown Speaker (00:58:55.465)

"Fuck you."

Unknown Speaker (00:58:56.144)

"Great."

Unknown Speaker (00:58:56.605)

"You know we won't."

Unknown Speaker (00:58:58.144)

Yeah. This is pathetic-

Unknown Speaker (00:58:59.385)

This is pathetic.

Unknown Speaker (00:58:59.724)

... on Alex's part.

Unknown Speaker (00:59:00.505)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (00:59:00.864)

But I'm glad to see that he's studied up on

Unknown Speaker (00:59:03.005)

science by watching the third or fourth Bourne movie, one of them, I'm not sure which.

Unknown Speaker (00:59:08.324)

Seems to me like they- if they have all this magic shit, like

Unknown Speaker (00:59:10.744)

why didn't Biden use any of it? How could Biden have had that debate performance if they've got

Unknown Speaker (00:59:15.565)

super Jason Bourne viruses? Why is George Soros getting super old?

Unknown Speaker (00:59:20.385)

I guess it's probably because it kills a bunch of people who take it, so they just aren't as brave as Trump.

Unknown Speaker (00:59:25.005)

But then, if Trump dies, is Alex going to entertain magic

Unknown Speaker (00:59:28.565)

Jason Bourne virus as a potential cause? I feel like he's been saying that the globalists are trying to

Unknown Speaker (00:59:33.264)

kill him desperately, but now Trump's given himself a presumably very deadly virus

Unknown Speaker (00:59:38.425)

in order to gain superpowers. This shit is stupid.

Unknown Speaker (00:59:42.005)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:59:42.945)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (00:59:44.864)

Here's what I've got for you.

Unknown Speaker (00:59:46.045)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (00:59:46.284)

All right? Here's what I'm pitching

Unknown Speaker (00:59:49.144)

if I'm Alex. All right?

Unknown Speaker (00:59:51.304)

Um,

Unknown Speaker (00:59:52.585)

Trump's dead. Oh, no! Surprise. We have all this technology,

Unknown Speaker (00:59:57.264)

downloaded his brain, uploaded it into a different guy. That guy's now Donald Trump.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:01.864)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:02.025)

And we just- everybody just moves on. Doesn't matter if it's true or not.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:05.445)

Anthony Atamanuik?

Unknown Speaker (01:00:06.405)

Yeah. We've, we've set it up so enough people will believe it.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:10.385)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:11.364)

Just go. It doesn't matter if it's real or not. Anybody could be anybody.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:14.684)

I- I mean, if Alex is gonna tr- try and pass off moon vacations and Jason Bourne, like-

Unknown Speaker (01:00:19.144)

Right?

Unknown Speaker (01:00:19.364)

... why not? Who gives a shit?

Unknown Speaker (01:00:20.985)

Why not?

Unknown Speaker (01:00:20.985)

Yeah. Nothing matters. Nothing, nothing has to be connected to reality.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:24.545)

We do not need to worry about whether or not we can download famous

Unknown Speaker (01:00:28.204)

people's brains into an AI. We can just say we did, and if there's

Unknown Speaker (01:00:32.025)

Alex and his whole cronies with their full throats behind it-

Unknown Speaker (01:00:35.744)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:36.045)

... it's true.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:37.224)

It's as good as true.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:38.525)

Crazy.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:39.425)

So I think that that also illustrates a

Unknown Speaker (01:00:41.425)

really, like when I was talking earlier about how people are, you know, they try to

Unknown Speaker (01:00:44.925)

take concepts and illustrate them through movies-

Unknown Speaker (01:00:47.224)

Yes.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:47.224)

... to make them more relatable.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:48.364)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:48.625)

That's- this is what Alex does.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:51.105)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:51.505)

He takes movies and then pretends they're real.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:54.045)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:54.364)

He's not making a concept more understandable to you. He's pretending movies are real.

Unknown Speaker (01:00:59.284)

(laughs) Even if he doesn't know what movie he's talking about (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:01:02.224)

It's one of those two.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:03.364)

Perhaps especially if he doesn't know.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:05.684)

It's not the second one.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:07.085)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:01:07.905)

I don't- Was Matt Damon the one in it?

Unknown Speaker (01:01:09.784)

Matt D-

Unknown Speaker (01:01:09.864)

Was he in it?

Unknown Speaker (01:01:10.385)

No. It was, it wasn't the Jason, uh, no. John R- No.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:14.485)

Renner?

Unknown Speaker (01:01:14.724)

Renner. Jeremy Renner. That's it.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:16.465)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:16.485)

No. It wasn't that one.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:18.244)

Hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:18.625)

Could be any of the Bourne movies.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:20.045)

Oh, well.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:20.664)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:20.744)

We'll probably never know.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:21.664)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:22.324)

Until we get these brain viruses.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:24.204)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:01:25.065)

So anyway, we're like Atlantis and shit.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:26.764)

Sounds true.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:27.385)

Um-

Unknown Speaker (01:01:27.844)

I'm in.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:29.164)

And it doesn't mean there's not gonna be big

Unknown Speaker (01:01:30.425)

obstacles in the future and, and this power's dangerous. Th- that- we have Promethean fire.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:35.704)

Now, that's not just a Greek legend. The- this is it.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:39.244)

We are the new Atlantis. Whether Atlantis existed or not, we're-

Unknown Speaker (01:01:42.405)

Disney's Atlantis.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:42.804)

We are Atlantis.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:48.344)

Look around you.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:50.224)

And of course, there were-

Unknown Speaker (01:01:50.945)

Fish people.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:53.065)

There's been other advanced human civilizations-

Unknown Speaker (01:01:55.204)

Obviously.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:55.204)

... which blew each other up before.

Unknown Speaker (01:01:57.385)

And, uh, this time,

Unknown Speaker (01:01:59.364)

we don't really want to do that, do we?

Unknown Speaker (01:02:02.485)

So

Unknown Speaker (01:02:05.605)

that's where we are.

Unknown Speaker (01:02:07.585)

And there are people that are scared of the Atlantean moment

Unknown Speaker (01:02:10.545)

and saying, "We will blow ourselves up," so they want to bring in, cull

Unknown Speaker (01:02:13.505)

everybody, suppress technology except for a very tiny elite,

Unknown Speaker (01:02:18.585)

and that'll never work. That's probably what caused the last war-

Unknown Speaker (01:02:22.565)

Oh.

Unknown Speaker (01:02:22.704)

... that blew everything up.

Unknown Speaker (01:02:23.485)

Probably.

Unknown Speaker (01:02:24.224)

Probably.

Unknown Speaker (01:02:24.864)

Probably.

Unknown Speaker (01:02:26.985)

Now, I could learn about it.

Unknown Speaker (01:02:29.664)

Las affaires, open the floodgates, let's go.

Unknown Speaker (01:02:34.125)

Let's go, let's go, let's go, like Elvis says.

Unknown Speaker (01:02:37.344)

Little less talk, little more action.

Unknown Speaker (01:02:39.885)

Come on, baby, let's go, let's go. Grab your coat and let's start walking.

Unknown Speaker (01:02:46.744)

Little less talk, a little more action.

Unknown Speaker (01:02:51.405)

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,

Unknown Speaker (01:02:55.385)

come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:01.344)

I think Elvis does it better.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:02.644)

Yeah, for sure. Um, fun fact, that song's about Atlantis.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:06.704)

Really?

Unknown Speaker (01:03:07.125)

Yeah. And how they could have avoided blowing themselves up if they just went les affaires.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:10.784)

I didn't know Elvis was that deep in his songwriting.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:13.244)

Yeah, yeah, definitely. When he was doing Blue Hawaii-

Unknown Speaker (01:03:15.985)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:16.065)

... when he was on that movie-

Unknown Speaker (01:03:17.184)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:17.405)

... he got, uh, you know, he started to learn about islands and stuff (laughs) .

Unknown Speaker (01:03:20.224)

You know, I've, I've always been like, oh, I think his lyrics are very

Unknown Speaker (01:03:23.264)

surface level. It feels very easy to understand, but now that I'm seeing

Unknown Speaker (01:03:25.905)

there's a whole Atlantis undertone.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:27.545)

Oh, yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:28.025)

I hadn't even considered that.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:29.065)

And, and instructions on how to avoid the next, like, world-destroying war.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:34.545)

Well, yeah. I mean, if I was going to keep those instructions anywhere, I would keep them in E- Elvis lyrics.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:40.284)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:40.664)

Obviously.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:41.244)

You Ain't Nothing But a Hound Dog is actually about Julius Caesar.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:44.445)

Holy shit.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:46.485)

This is game changing.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:48.264)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:48.664)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:03:49.644)

So this is just stupid.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:51.364)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:03:53.985)

Yeah, there's really nothing else to say to that.

Unknown Speaker (01:03:55.804)

I find myself, like, periodically just wanting to yell, "Shut up!"

Unknown Speaker (01:03:59.724)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:04:00.605)

Shut up.

Unknown Speaker (01:04:03.105)

So dumb.

Unknown Speaker (01:04:03.804)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:04:04.565)

So, uh, we get back to some real world stuff as opposed to fantasies about moon vacations and Atlantis.

Unknown Speaker (01:04:09.625)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (01:04:09.925)

Uh, and, uh, it has to do with, uh, more of these things that, uh, Musk is uncovering.

Unknown Speaker (01:04:16.304)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (01:04:16.684)

Now, look at this. Can someone explain to me why the Department of Defense provided... Look at that number.

Unknown Speaker (01:04:28.965)

$9,147,000

Unknown Speaker (01:04:32.284)

to Reuters for active social engineering defense,

Unknown Speaker (01:04:35.625)

AESED.

Unknown Speaker (01:04:38.324)

Active social engineering defense.

Unknown Speaker (01:04:41.684)

Large-scale social deception.... LSD.

Unknown Speaker (01:04:46.815)

(whistles) Look at that document they just released. Now, I didn't even

Unknown Speaker (01:04:50.054)

know about these terms. I mean, I, I know about a lot of them, but we're learning some very

Unknown Speaker (01:04:53.516)

nice new terms. Active social engineering defense,

Unknown Speaker (01:04:57.135)

th- that's what they call the Department of War, Department of Defense,

Unknown Speaker (01:04:59.554)

every day since the name changed, and

Unknown Speaker (01:05:03.074)

father of modern propaganda. Look. Active Social Engineering Defense,

Unknown Speaker (01:05:07.914)

ASCD. I've always told you, it's a social engineering

Unknown Speaker (01:05:10.675)

weapon, eye-to-eye social engineering. And then look, large-scale social

Unknown Speaker (01:05:14.635)

deception.

Unknown Speaker (01:05:15.815)

Alex is just cold reading a tweet and reacting to it.

Unknown Speaker (01:05:19.295)

Like, he doesn't know anything about this story, including the fact that

Unknown Speaker (01:05:22.135)

he's covered it already on his show.

Unknown Speaker (01:05:24.235)

Great.

Unknown Speaker (01:05:24.715)

He doesn't know what's breaking news, because

Unknown Speaker (01:05:26.635)

all he's doing is reading tweets and then ranting about them. Like, on a very

Unknown Speaker (01:05:30.755)

basic level, he doesn't even understand

Unknown Speaker (01:05:32.974)

what information he's covered, uh, in the past or hasn't. This is all just noise.

Unknown Speaker (01:05:38.175)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:05:38.514)

He's just getting stimulus in the form of these tweets that someone printed out and put in front of him-

Unknown Speaker (01:05:43.396)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (01:05:43.775)

... and he's reacting.

Unknown Speaker (01:05:45.014)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (01:05:45.175)

(laughs) That's it.

Unknown Speaker (01:05:46.434)

I, I feel like

Unknown Speaker (01:05:48.974)

if, if, if I had one, like,

Unknown Speaker (01:05:51.695)

instant thing I could do, like instantly everything changes, it would be any question that begins with,

Unknown Speaker (01:05:57.335)

"Could somebody please explain to me..." would immediately be answered with, "Yes, somebody can."

Unknown Speaker (01:06:02.034)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:02.275)

The problem is not that somebody can't explain it to you.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:04.795)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:05.094)

It is that you do not give a fuck.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:06.474)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:06.494)

So shut up.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:07.155)

And you're dishonest-

Unknown Speaker (01:06:08.295)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:08.474)

... in, uh, the, the way you're...

Unknown Speaker (01:06:10.175)

"Could somebody please explain..." Yes, they

Unknown Speaker (01:06:12.014)

had to. That's why it's on a piece of paper

Unknown Speaker (01:06:14.255)

with an explanation for why they could do it. There was a check written.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:18.114)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:18.534)

Somebody went to somebody else, there was a proposal written out.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:22.074)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:22.375)

Then they had to go up to their boss, and that guy was like,

Unknown Speaker (01:06:24.974)

"I don't know if we have enough money this year." And the other guy was like, "No, we should cut this program-"

Unknown Speaker (01:06:29.175)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:29.355)

"... so we can afford to do this program."

Unknown Speaker (01:06:31.295)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:31.474)

Yes, someone can explain to you why that money is there.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:34.335)

Right. Yeah, and I think that, uh, like,

Unknown Speaker (01:06:38.014)

m- maybe we should reorganize the world in such a way that people actually

Unknown Speaker (01:06:42.255)

can separate who wants an explanation-

Unknown Speaker (01:06:44.494)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:44.494)

... from who's playing, "I'm just asking questions..."

Unknown Speaker (01:06:46.974)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:47.074)

... games.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:47.775)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:48.054)

Because those people are really, uh, toxic.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:51.135)

Absolutely.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:52.155)

So, um, Alex has been talking on this episode about Al Green, uh,

Unknown Speaker (01:06:56.014)

putting out, uh, uh, impeachment against, uh, Trump.

Unknown Speaker (01:06:59.994)

Right. Right, right, right.

Unknown Speaker (01:07:00.574)

And, uh,

Unknown Speaker (01:07:02.195)

it's kind of funny, because if you pay attention to this clip,

Unknown Speaker (01:07:06.275)

you will see very clearly that Alex did not know why

Unknown Speaker (01:07:10.815)

Al Green had suggested impeachment.

Unknown Speaker (01:07:13.454)

Hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:07:13.835)

And when he realizes, he is no longer interested.

Unknown Speaker (01:07:16.554)

Uh-oh.

Unknown Speaker (01:07:17.434)

Just giant developments everywhere. Uh, this reportedly has already been done, but,

Unknown Speaker (01:07:21.514)

uh, we haven't seen any yet, we're checking.

Unknown Speaker (01:07:23.775)

Texas Democrat to bring first articles of impeachment

Unknown Speaker (01:07:27.434)

of Trump's second term.

Unknown Speaker (01:07:29.434)

He's done this many times, but this is the

Unknown Speaker (01:07:32.534)

latest, uh, in, in this administration.

Unknown Speaker (01:07:35.375)

Democrat rat, Representative Al Green of Texas, said today

Unknown Speaker (01:07:40.295)

that he has just brought articles of impeachment against Donald Trump

Unknown Speaker (01:07:43.914)

over the alleged threat of ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Unknown Speaker (01:07:47.795)

On Tuesday, Trump said during a news conference with Israeli

Unknown Speaker (01:07:50.755)

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, United States wants to take over the Gaza

Unknown Speaker (01:07:54.155)

Strip, drawing backlash from some lawmakers and praise from others.

Unknown Speaker (01:07:58.355)

"The movement to impeach the president has begun.

Unknown Speaker (01:08:00.894)

I raise the announcement that I will bring articles of impeachment against the President

Unknown Speaker (01:08:04.974)

for the dastardly deeds

Unknown Speaker (01:08:07.155)

proposed

Unknown Speaker (01:08:08.414)

and dastardly deeds done," Green said Wednesday. All Trump did was propose it

Unknown Speaker (01:08:13.255)

and pay people, give them money to move somewhere nice.

Unknown Speaker (01:08:15.574)

So you can actually, you can definitely tell that Alex had no

Unknown Speaker (01:08:18.914)

idea why Green proposed impeachment before he started reading that.

Unknown Speaker (01:08:22.375)

Alex is not ready to defend Trump saying that the US should take over the Gaza

Unknown Speaker (01:08:26.095)

Strip, and you can tell because the best he's got, uh, in terms of defending ethnic cleansing

Unknown Speaker (01:08:30.614)

is, uh, calling it, quote, "Paying them to move somewhere nice."

Unknown Speaker (01:08:35.095)

Alex doesn't care about the Palestinian people at all, and

Unknown Speaker (01:08:37.814)

any attempt to pretend to care about this issue previously was mostly based

Unknown Speaker (01:08:41.734)

in not wanting to risk losing the deeply antisemitic ends of

Unknown Speaker (01:08:44.694)

Trump's base before the 2024 election. He wouldn't care if Israel killed

Unknown Speaker (01:08:49.234)

and displaced every Palestinian person, he does not give a

Unknown Speaker (01:08:52.015)

shit at all. And you can... Like, what I'm saying, y- y- like, he didn't know why

Unknown Speaker (01:08:56.994)

this impeachment was suggested before starting that. It, it's so clear

Unknown Speaker (01:09:01.935)

if you listen to just the rest of how it goes.

Unknown Speaker (01:09:04.694)

During Trump's first term, 2017 to 2019, Green, who represented the Houston

Unknown Speaker (01:09:10.515)

area unsuccessfully, attempted to impeach the president on three separate occasions.

Unknown Speaker (01:09:15.435)

So,

Unknown Speaker (01:09:17.015)

they are beyond scared.

Unknown Speaker (01:09:20.295)

Um, look, I know our audience knows they're lying, you know the law, but I wanna go

Unknown Speaker (01:09:25.975)

over it some here and I wanna play some of the clips

Unknown Speaker (01:09:29.675)

of the unprecedented

Unknown Speaker (01:09:33.694)

hoaxing

Unknown Speaker (01:09:35.074)

that is going on right now by Chuckie Schumer,

Unknown Speaker (01:09:40.015)

Pocahontas,

Unknown Speaker (01:09:42.654)

Hakeem Jeffries, all of them. They're all over corporate news, they're all over press conferences

Unknown Speaker (01:09:49.255)

saying, "He's in your private info. He's gonna give it to the Chinese hackers. He's gonna..." Their, uh,

Unknown Speaker (01:09:53.574)

people aren't getting their Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. All of that's a lie.

Unknown Speaker (01:09:58.414)

You're not gonna get those payments if we go bankrupt, which we already are.

Unknown Speaker (01:10:02.295)

We have to shut this down, grow the economy, or we're screwed. And that starts with cutting energy

Unknown Speaker (01:10:09.614)

prices by half within one year, and Trump can do it. He did it before.

Unknown Speaker (01:10:12.414)

So you can tell that Alex is eager to go onto another subject.

Unknown Speaker (01:10:15.935)

Very quickly.

Unknown Speaker (01:10:16.274)

He just moves right along.

Unknown Speaker (01:10:17.114)

Very quickly.

Unknown Speaker (01:10:17.675)

He thought that the Green impeachment was gonna be about something

Unknown Speaker (01:10:20.814)

fun that he could yell about, but as soon as he realized that it was about

Unknown Speaker (01:10:23.755)

Gaza, he bailed. There's a lot of window dressing on his next point, but the

Unknown Speaker (01:10:28.435)

thing Alex is trying to argue is that the Dems are lying when they say

Unknown Speaker (01:10:31.715)

that Elon's meddling will affect their Social Security payments. One of the benefits

Unknown Speaker (01:10:36.574)

to us being a little bit in the future is we know that Alex is very much wrong. He's entirely wrong-

Unknown Speaker (01:10:43.475)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:10:43.515)

... about the Democrats lying about this.

Unknown Speaker (01:10:45.015)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:10:45.734)

An 82-year-old man in Seattle named Ned Johnson was erroneously declared dead, which

Unknown Speaker (01:10:50.074)

led to him losing his Social Security benefits. This was in the context of Elon

Unknown Speaker (01:10:54.595)

gaining access to Social Security records and Medicare data

Unknown Speaker (01:10:57.835)

and making a big deal out of how many dead people are receiving benefits.

Unknown Speaker (01:11:02.074)

This is a guy who was alive and receiving benefits, but

Unknown Speaker (01:11:04.755)

could easily have, uh, been accidentally seen as a case where someone was scamming the system

Unknown Speaker (01:11:09.255)

and shut off from the things they need.

Unknown Speaker (01:11:12.314)

This is one person, but his case illustrates something that

Unknown Speaker (01:11:14.994)

could happen and might very well be happening to a lot of people.

Unknown Speaker (01:11:18.795)

Beyond that, the funding cuts that Trump and Elon are pushing

Unknown Speaker (01:11:21.574)

have led to shrinking of the workforce, which necessarily means less Social Security reps and offices

Unknown Speaker (01:11:27.194)

to serve the people who rely on it to survive and have paid into it their entire careers.

Unknown Speaker (01:11:32.755)

Doge aimed, uh, to close 47 Social Security

Unknown Speaker (01:11:35.914)

offices, justifying it by saying that

Unknown Speaker (01:11:37.795)

hearings that were done there, like, they were in-person hearings, and these can just be done virtually.

Unknown Speaker (01:11:43.314)

Simultaneously, Trump's administration has created new

Unknown Speaker (01:11:45.875)

anti-fraud rules that require you to apply for benefits in person

Unknown Speaker (01:11:49.734)

and do things like change your direct deposit information in person as well.

Unknown Speaker (01:11:53.274)

If you wanna make these changes, you gotta go in.

Unknown Speaker (01:11:55.635)

It's almost like they're trying to destroy this thing by making it impossible to use.

Unknown Speaker (01:12:01.055)

Social Security is an incredibly powerful and beloved government

Unknown Speaker (01:12:04.074)

program that keeps countless retired people out of poverty.

Unknown Speaker (01:12:07.234)

Everyone knows that it's politically toxic to touch it, because it works

Unknown Speaker (01:12:11.055)

and g- it gets rid, uh, uh, of a lot of poverty, and, uh, getting rid of it would kill a ton of people.

Unknown Speaker (01:12:17.835)

That's why there's been a bit of mixed messaging from Trump on the issue.

Unknown Speaker (01:12:21.555)

He's a political figure and needs to get

Unknown Speaker (01:12:23.295)

voted into office, so he's sworn that they weren't gonna take Social Security, they're just gonna make it

Unknown Speaker (01:12:27.854)

better. At the same time, uh, Elon Musk has constantly tweeted th- s-

Unknown Speaker (01:12:32.095)

and said that it's a huge Ponzi scheme and he wants to destroy it.

Unknown Speaker (01:12:35.454)

The administration is incoherent because Trump still kind of needs to be

Unknown Speaker (01:12:39.475)

liked as that figure and Elon doesn't.

Unknown Speaker (01:12:42.595)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:12:43.015)

And

Unknown Speaker (01:12:43.935)

so you get this.

Unknown Speaker (01:12:45.175)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:12:46.261)

... and the true face is Elon.

Unknown Speaker (01:12:48.341)

Yeah. I mean, the problem, I guess, would- would be

Unknown Speaker (01:12:51.561)

that, you know, naturally the people who are most going to be affected by Social Security are also, uh,

Unknown Speaker (01:12:57.560)

majority of the people (laughs) who voted for Trump.

Unknown Speaker (01:13:00.042)

Uh,

Unknown Speaker (01:13:01.161)

and it's just not going to bounce back on him-

Unknown Speaker (01:13:03.680)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:13:03.761)

... because they have complete control over what those people think, you know?

Unknown Speaker (01:13:06.440)

Well, I think... Yeah, and I think that

Unknown Speaker (01:13:08.042)

to the extent that it is going to bounce back, it'll be, uh, too little too late.

Unknown Speaker (01:13:12.881)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:13:13.301)

Uh, or i- i- the damage will be done by the time there is any, any bounce back or consequences-

Unknown Speaker (01:13:19.240)

Totally.

Unknown Speaker (01:13:19.641)

... uh, in terms of political capital for the GOP.

Unknown Speaker (01:13:22.740)

Um, and that is really, really sad because people are going to be severely hurt by it.

Unknown Speaker (01:13:27.541)

Yeah, yep.

Unknown Speaker (01:13:28.662)

Uh, between the people who are directly hurt by these cuts and making these, uh, things more unaccessible,

Unknown Speaker (01:13:36.060)

uh, and their children who may need to, uh, take on

Unknown Speaker (01:13:40.881)

new financial burdens in order to help keep their parents alive, uh, it's just a load of shit.

Unknown Speaker (01:13:46.220)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (01:13:46.381)

And, uh, they're- they're doing this

Unknown Speaker (01:13:49.600)

willingly and knowingly. They know exactly what they're doing.

Unknown Speaker (01:13:51.980)

Yeah, yep.

Unknown Speaker (01:13:52.900)

Um, but you could see there that... how much Alex is just like, "Whoops," and moves along.

Unknown Speaker (01:13:57.921)

Yeah, yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:13:59.720)

I wouldn't wanna talk about it. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:14:01.261)

I feel like h- you know, he, he had made a big deal of it earlier in the episode, uh,

Unknown Speaker (01:14:06.041)

with no context, just that Greene had announced some impeachment thing.

Unknown Speaker (01:14:09.801)

Yeah, yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:14:10.440)

And, like, he screams about all of the attempts to impeach Trump.

Unknown Speaker (01:14:14.240)

This is just like, "Oh,............................"

Unknown Speaker (01:14:15.900)

Let's just, uh, let's leave this in the rear view mirror.

Unknown Speaker (01:14:18.020)

It's notable.

Unknown Speaker (01:14:18.680)

As long as people stop talking about it, maybe it'll go away.

Unknown Speaker (01:14:21.740)

So Alex... I mean, like, this show, like, legit is just cold reading tweets.

Unknown Speaker (01:14:26.360)

Jesus.

Unknown Speaker (01:14:27.421)

Elon Musk just posted this, and it's right

Unknown Speaker (01:14:30.280)

here in the federal documents they've been releasing. This is just to the public.

Unknown Speaker (01:14:33.541)

"Can someone explain to me why the Department of Defense provided

Unknown Speaker (01:14:36.900)

$9,147,000 plus

Unknown Speaker (01:14:39.900)

to Reuters

Unknown Speaker (01:14:41.140)

for active social engineering defense, ASCD, and large-scale social deception, LSD?"

Unknown Speaker (01:14:50.121)

That's how

Unknown Speaker (01:14:52.100)

in the grants

Unknown Speaker (01:14:54.940)

at usspending.gov,

Unknown Speaker (01:14:58.480)

Department of Defense,

Unknown Speaker (01:15:00.320)

Thomson Reuters Special Services, that's

Unknown Speaker (01:15:03.860)

MI6, if you look it up.

Unknown Speaker (01:15:09.480)

Remember the 300 million targeting Musk last year

Unknown Speaker (01:15:11.381)

from the Biden administration? The... A lot of this isn't even hidden.

Unknown Speaker (01:15:15.820)

And you can read

Unknown Speaker (01:15:18.381)

all about it

Unknown Speaker (01:15:20.140)

right here.

Unknown Speaker (01:15:26.421)

About how to brainwash

Unknown Speaker (01:15:28.421)

the public

Unknown Speaker (01:15:29.801)

under

Unknown Speaker (01:15:32.360)

social engineering,

Unknown Speaker (01:15:37.541)

defense system electro- electronics communication,

Unknown Speaker (01:15:43.940)

North American

Unknown Speaker (01:15:46.060)

industry classification system, active social engineering

Unknown Speaker (01:15:52.100)

defense, large-scale

Unknown Speaker (01:15:54.520)

social

Unknown Speaker (01:15:55.640)

deception. (laughs) Zoom in on that.

Unknown Speaker (01:15:59.440)

Look at that.

Unknown Speaker (01:16:01.100)

Just look.

Unknown Speaker (01:16:02.180)

Alex is just reading tweets that Elon's posting, and I

Unknown Speaker (01:16:05.921)

think if you listen to that, you don't have any

Unknown Speaker (01:16:07.820)

additional information, so you don't understand what any of this is about. You just know that

Unknown Speaker (01:16:12.480)

Elon tweeted something, and there's a bunch of these words in there that sound kinda scary.

Unknown Speaker (01:16:16.100)

Totally.

Unknown Speaker (01:16:16.581)

Large-scale deception. Ooh, scary, scary stuff.

Unknown Speaker (01:16:20.780)

So also, like you pointed out, this premise and the framing of this is entirely

Unknown Speaker (01:16:25.520)

bullshit. Elon's posting about this contract saying, "Can someone tell me why

Unknown Speaker (01:16:29.621)

the DoD gave Reuters this money?" He's not looking for an explanation. He could go ask somebody.

Unknown Speaker (01:16:34.961)

This isn't looking for a reason that the money was spent. It's throwing red

Unknown Speaker (01:16:38.341)

meat to the crowd and saying, "Come up with

Unknown Speaker (01:16:40.240)

fun explanations to keep yourself entertained for a while while I steal all your shit."

Unknown Speaker (01:16:44.881)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:16:45.581)

Thomson Reuters has a company called TRSS that they run that offers software and information

Unknown Speaker (01:16:50.440)

services. In 2018, when Trump was in office, the government offered up a contract that involved preventing

Unknown Speaker (01:16:56.301)

large-scale social manipulation online, including through cyberattacks.

Unknown Speaker (01:17:00.520)

The contract was competitive, and TRSS won the contract and served as the testers on a defensive platform.

Unknown Speaker (01:17:07.121)

Alex and his ilk are pretending that this is about

Unknown Speaker (01:17:09.381)

Reuters, the news service, being paid

Unknown Speaker (01:17:11.341)

to engage in social manipulation and engineering, but that's because they're malicious and stupid.

Unknown Speaker (01:17:16.400)

And Musk gives up the game when he says that,

Unknown Speaker (01:17:18.980)

"Can anyone tell me why this money was spent?" when he does that, because it's transparently dishonest.

Unknown Speaker (01:17:24.280)

He's playing the same f- game that folks like Alex have for

Unknown Speaker (01:17:26.780)

years, where you pretend to ask questions when in reality

Unknown Speaker (01:17:29.541)

you have a very firm answer that you're pushing, and again, this goes back to the, like, the ways that

Unknown Speaker (01:17:37.220)

these people do make sense together.

Unknown Speaker (01:17:39.360)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:17:39.881)

They play similar games-

Unknown Speaker (01:17:41.801)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:17:42.261)

... uh, even if

Unknown Speaker (01:17:44.520)

the boards they're on are very different.

Unknown Speaker (01:17:46.701)

Yeah, and it's predicated almost entirely on a, a power imbalance that

Unknown Speaker (01:17:50.560)

keeps people from applying the same shit back at them.

Unknown Speaker (01:17:53.100)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:17:53.520)

Like-

Unknown Speaker (01:17:53.841)

It's predatory.

Unknown Speaker (01:17:54.360)

... the idea of Elon Musk saying, "Can somebody

Unknown Speaker (01:17:57.261)

tell me why this money was spent?" without somebody else going,

Unknown Speaker (01:18:00.060)

"I will hit you in the face for all the things that you have spent money on, you waste of humanity."

Unknown Speaker (01:18:04.081)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (01:18:04.360)

"What are you fucking... Can somebody

Unknown Speaker (01:18:05.881)

tell me why there's a hole underneath New York or whatever the fuck it is?"

Unknown Speaker (01:18:09.440)

It's- it's-

Unknown Speaker (01:18:09.860)

You know?

Unknown Speaker (01:18:10.121)

... the, "Can somebody tell me why this" is,

Unknown Speaker (01:18:14.261)

"I'm going to workshop and just sort of, uh, snowball this on Twitter

Unknown Speaker (01:18:19.581)

with a bunch of random people coming up with angry-"

Unknown Speaker (01:18:21.740)

"Hey, I'm trying to get a mob coming together. Anybody want in on?"

Unknown Speaker (01:18:24.360)

Exactly.

Unknown Speaker (01:18:24.360)

"Yeah."

Unknown Speaker (01:18:24.740)

Yeah. There's-

Unknown Speaker (01:18:25.520)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:18:25.520)

... there's no, there's no benefit that is brought to anything.

Unknown Speaker (01:18:28.600)

Nope.

Unknown Speaker (01:18:28.621)

There's no further understanding, and there will be no correction

Unknown Speaker (01:18:31.881)

when, uh, it's like, "Oh, here's what happened here."

Unknown Speaker (01:18:34.560)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (01:18:34.881)

"Oh, thanks, someone explained it to me."

Unknown Speaker (01:18:36.581)

Some well-meaning person wasted their life spending time-

Unknown Speaker (01:18:40.640)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:18:40.740)

... explaining to you a thing that you don't wanna know.

Unknown Speaker (01:18:43.740)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:18:44.041)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:18:44.301)

It's, it's incitement without, like, owning the incitement.

Unknown Speaker (01:18:48.081)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:18:48.240)

It's cowardly incitement, uh, hiding behind

Unknown Speaker (01:18:52.140)

the, uh, mask of curiosity-

Unknown Speaker (01:18:55.421)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:18:55.680)

... and, like, "Oh, can somebody, uh, just get to the bottom of this?"

Unknown Speaker (01:18:58.161)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (01:18:58.621)

Fuck you.

Unknown Speaker (01:18:59.220)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (01:18:59.900)

So anyway, uh, Reuters has some payroll issues-

Unknown Speaker (01:19:02.501)

Hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:19:03.060)

... as we, we've already learned.

Unknown Speaker (01:19:03.980)

Lightning strikes.

Unknown Speaker (01:19:05.560)

Let's see that

Unknown Speaker (01:19:09.081)

in function here.

Unknown Speaker (01:19:13.761)

Oh, look right here.

Unknown Speaker (01:19:16.520)

Politico faces payroll issues amid revelations of US government funding.

Unknown Speaker (01:19:22.640)

That's today.

Unknown Speaker (01:19:25.581)

And they're funding the BBC with your tax money, secretly.

Unknown Speaker (01:19:29.921)

And they can't make payroll.

Unknown Speaker (01:19:32.240)

Staff at Politico did not get paid

Unknown Speaker (01:19:35.940)

for their last pay period. The company just sent several emails to employees saying

Unknown Speaker (01:19:39.940)

it believes there was a financial error

Unknown Speaker (01:19:43.541)

and is looking into how to fix the issue.

Unknown Speaker (01:19:46.680)

And that's the theft they're talking about, Musk cutting off all this illegal crap,

Unknown Speaker (01:19:52.421)

because the president has that executive power

Unknown Speaker (01:19:54.761)

when he believes it's fraud, and- and now they're gonna try to defend

Unknown Speaker (01:19:57.841)

in Congressional hearings, you know, are coming,

Unknown Speaker (01:20:00.261)

that Trump's cut off the money to carry out, quote,

Unknown Speaker (01:20:04.461)

"active social engineering defense and large-scale social deception." (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:20:10.520)

(laughs) He's just making shit up.

Unknown Speaker (01:20:16.940)

Just, he's just making shit up.

Unknown Speaker (01:20:18.121)

Yeah. That's absurd.

Unknown Speaker (01:20:18.980)

And you start to notice, obviously, like, if you watch enough of his shows, he kind of is just

Unknown Speaker (01:20:23.680)

doing laps. You know, like you get these same tweets-

Unknown Speaker (01:20:27.461)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (01:20:27.581)

... uh, kind of in a cyclical fashion.

Unknown Speaker (01:20:29.560)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:20:30.121)

And that's because he's got nothing else.

Unknown Speaker (01:20:32.161)

Yeah. It feels, it feels so much like

Unknown Speaker (01:20:35.520)

when I was working the graveyard shift at a hotel, um, every

Unknown Speaker (01:20:39.480)

morning at, like, the 4:00 AM hour, ESPN would show the old, uh, uh,

Unknown Speaker (01:20:45.541)

Mike and Mike, uh...... radio show-

Unknown Speaker (01:20:47.534)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (01:20:47.994)

... uh, on TV 'cause whatever. It was the early thousands. We did that back then. Um,

Unknown Speaker (01:20:54.095)

and it would have just like the list of topics that was

Unknown Speaker (01:20:56.954)

a r- it was a circle. Every hour, they would go through the same like,

Unknown Speaker (01:21:00.954)

"Hey, by the way, last hour we talked about this but this hour it's like

Unknown Speaker (01:21:04.595)

how's fucking Kevin Youkilis doing this year?" You know, and it was like,

Unknown Speaker (01:21:08.255)

it was just a rotation. It was the same thing over and over and over and over again.

Unknown Speaker (01:21:12.895)

That sounds insufferable.

Unknown Speaker (01:21:13.914)

It, they had to fill time.

Unknown Speaker (01:21:15.454)

Yeah, but at least they were honest about it like by showing the loop-

Unknown Speaker (01:21:19.074)

Totally.

Unknown Speaker (01:21:19.074)

... as opposed to Alex who pretends that these are all new stories.

Unknown Speaker (01:21:21.515)

No, I, yeah, absolutely, like they, they just

Unknown Speaker (01:21:23.175)

had it out there so it's like, "Hey, by

Unknown Speaker (01:21:25.015)

the way, I don't give a shit about NASCAR right now. I'll come back in five minutes." You know? Like-

Unknown Speaker (01:21:29.274)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (01:21:29.376)

... I don't need to hear him read a tweet about NASCAR.

Unknown Speaker (01:21:31.734)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:21:32.175)

It's, it's almost, it's almost like

Unknown Speaker (01:21:34.835)

more, it's, it's worse because it's obvious (laughs) about what it's doing

Unknown Speaker (01:21:38.175)

and at the same time it's better 'cause it's letting you know how to plan your time.

Unknown Speaker (01:21:41.675)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:21:41.795)

You know?

Unknown Speaker (01:21:42.114)

So, uh, I guess we have moon vacations coming up-

Unknown Speaker (01:21:45.734)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (01:21:45.854)

We've got all this. As long as we just submit to

Unknown Speaker (01:21:48.336)

Elon Musk, uh, gutting out and reforming the, uh, government

Unknown Speaker (01:21:53.135)

to exactly what we want, hooray, we're the new Atlantis. Uh, a little bit later on the show, Alex has a guest.

Unknown Speaker (01:21:59.375)

What are we gonna do on the moon?

Unknown Speaker (01:22:01.395)

Pfft.

Unknown Speaker (01:22:02.994)

Ha.

Unknown Speaker (01:22:03.875)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:22:04.015)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:22:08.954)

I couldn't decide, like in that moment, I couldn't decide whether to play the role of

Unknown Speaker (01:22:15.234)

like really mean response-

Unknown Speaker (01:22:17.215)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (01:22:17.335)

... of like, "You do anything you want on the moon."

Unknown Speaker (01:22:18.956)

Right, right, right, right.

Unknown Speaker (01:22:19.814)

Or just be like, "Uh, you walk on it."

Unknown Speaker (01:22:21.796)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:22:21.895)

I couldn't, I couldn't figure out which role to play and instead I just laughed.

Unknown Speaker (01:22:25.654)

Like is it, has it-

Unknown Speaker (01:22:26.414)

Because of course you could do anything.

Unknown Speaker (01:22:27.734)

Well, but I mean it's, it would take longer than 10 years to build something for

Unknown Speaker (01:22:31.715)

people to do touristily on the moon.

Unknown Speaker (01:22:34.194)

Mm-hmm. Yep.

Unknown Speaker (01:22:35.895)

Okay.

Unknown Speaker (01:22:36.795)

Also, like, I guess,

Unknown Speaker (01:22:39.154)

you know, it, it's just being there.

Unknown Speaker (01:22:41.675)

No, it's not! It is an empty rock in space.

Unknown Speaker (01:22:44.914)

No, but I'm, I'm, I'm saying that if you took a vacation to the moon,

Unknown Speaker (01:22:48.494)

just being there would be enough 'cause you're on the fucking moon.

Unknown Speaker (01:22:51.515)

I don't know if that's true anymore.

Unknown Speaker (01:22:53.195)

I think that's true for a lot of people 'cause I was thinking about it, I'm like, "You know what would take

Unknown Speaker (01:22:57.435)

almost no time to make on the moon? A swing set." And I'll go do a little swing set on the moon.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:03.615)

Okay. All right. This is an interesting test.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:06.895)

(laughs) Right.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:07.335)

Uh,

Unknown Speaker (01:23:08.175)

is, is this a gravity-based test or like a space space test? (laughs) Like, nobody's getting in my way-

Unknown Speaker (01:23:13.355)

Hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:13.435)

... (laughs) while I build a swing set.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:15.595)

I just think it's k- like on a construction level, it's pretty simple.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:18.694)

It's lighter.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:19.414)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:19.914)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:20.215)

And pretty easy to set up.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:21.414)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:22.034)

Um,

Unknown Speaker (01:23:22.994)

and I think it doesn't rely on, on

Unknown Speaker (01:23:25.615)

increased difficulties. Like if you, a basketball hoop would be really easy to set up on the moon.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:30.534)

Oh, that's true.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:30.555)

But then using it would be hard.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:32.015)

Ooh, do you know what else you could do on the moon?

Unknown Speaker (01:23:33.796)

Hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:34.074)

With a swing set?

Unknown Speaker (01:23:34.935)

What could you do?

Unknown Speaker (01:23:35.534)

Cold welding

Unknown Speaker (01:23:37.296)

because there's no, uh-

Unknown Speaker (01:23:38.994)

While you're swinging?

Unknown Speaker (01:23:40.115)

No, no, no, what happens is if you've got two pieces of the same metal-

Unknown Speaker (01:23:43.074)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:43.295)

... uh, and they touch in space, they immediately become one. It's cold welding

Unknown Speaker (01:23:47.314)

because there's, uh, it has something to do with atoms and shit.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:49.795)

I think that was in the third Jason Bourne movie.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:52.215)

It does sound like that's true. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:23:53.875)

Yeah. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:23:53.875)

It does sound like that was a, it wasn't Moonraker, the original novel though.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:57.975)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:58.195)

Before they'd go (laughs) to space.

Unknown Speaker (01:23:59.376)

Well, that was all the globalist plans.

Unknown Speaker (01:24:00.854)

Yes.

Unknown Speaker (01:24:01.255)

So anyway, Alex has a guest-

Unknown Speaker (01:24:03.296)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:24:03.595)

... on the show. He should stop having this dude on.

Unknown Speaker (01:24:05.854)

Uh-oh.

Unknown Speaker (01:24:06.395)

Victor Bout is a Russian businessman.

Unknown Speaker (01:24:08.175)

Great.

Unknown Speaker (01:24:08.335)

He was arrested by the DEA sting operation famously in Bangkok 2008.

Unknown Speaker (01:24:12.395)

He was illegally transferred to New York City Metropolitan Correctional

Unknown Speaker (01:24:15.034)

Center November 2010, went on trial, and was sentenced to 25

Unknown Speaker (01:24:18.615)

years. He spent 10 years in the infamous CMU Unit, United States Penitentiary

Unknown Speaker (01:24:23.375)

Marion. In December 2022, he was exchanged for prisoner swap with Brittney Griner.

Unknown Speaker (01:24:30.154)

He is now a deputy

Unknown Speaker (01:24:31.814)

in the regional legislature, a member of the High Council LDPR Party, and

Unknown Speaker (01:24:36.354)

I wanted to get his Russian perspective. He's also spent the last few weeks on the war front, uh, in

Unknown Speaker (01:24:43.015)

western Russia and in Ukraine, which is Russia, uh, and, until Lenin gave it away, and-

Unknown Speaker (01:24:48.475)

Oh, boy.

Unknown Speaker (01:24:49.095)

... that's what's going on-

Unknown Speaker (01:24:49.734)

How about it?

Unknown Speaker (01:24:50.595)

... right now.

Unknown Speaker (01:24:51.296)

Ladies and gentlemen. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:24:52.574)

So he can start with the Russian view on what he sees here in America.

Unknown Speaker (01:24:54.336)

Our second American Revolution is in

Unknown Speaker (01:24:56.354)

full swing, baby. And we're winning. Or he can start with the war. He's got the floor.

Unknown Speaker (01:25:03.034)

Uh, Victor, it's good to see you, my friend. A, Trump

Unknown Speaker (01:25:05.435)

survived, he got in, he's delivering in

Unknown Speaker (01:25:08.716)

my view. I get chills at the, at the speed of this. This is, this is, this is incredible.

Unknown Speaker (01:25:12.496)

But I then I want to think, "Oh, but what are the bad

Unknown Speaker (01:25:14.555)

guys gonna do?" And I get really concerned. So you can start wherever you like. Thanks for joining us.

Unknown Speaker (01:25:18.675)

Thank you. Uh, you're absolutely right. It's not only looks but it sounds like revolution.

Unknown Speaker (01:25:25.895)

Yay, it's a revolution.

Unknown Speaker (01:25:27.315)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (01:25:27.914)

So Alex is once again interviewing the merchant of death.

Unknown Speaker (01:25:31.296)

Yep.

Unknown Speaker (01:25:31.614)

Former arms dealer Victor Bout. Like, this is crazy. This is like,

Unknown Speaker (01:25:37.475)

I think that if you're a peace guy like Alex likes to pretend to be, the only interview

Unknown Speaker (01:25:42.975)

you can have with this guy is incredibly confrontational.

Unknown Speaker (01:25:46.274)

It would have to be.

Unknown Speaker (01:25:47.215)

Uh, but instead it's just kissing his ass

Unknown Speaker (01:25:49.614)

and talking about how Western Ukraine is actually secretly Russia.

Unknown Speaker (01:25:52.975)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:25:53.654)

Uh, cool, man.

Unknown Speaker (01:25:54.935)

Yeah, that's real cool.

Unknown Speaker (01:25:56.095)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:25:56.914)

Incidentally, at the end of last year, it came out that Bout was back in the weapons business-

Unknown Speaker (01:26:00.935)

How about that?

Unknown Speaker (01:26:01.414)

... he's brokering deals with the Houthis in Yemen.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:04.534)

The Wall Street Journal reported that he sold about $10 million worth of small arms to the Houthis, uh, with

Unknown Speaker (01:26:09.795)

what appears to be the approval of Moscow.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:11.814)

Well, it would have to be.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:12.975)

So that's interesting because just the other day

Unknown Speaker (01:26:15.654)

as we're recording this, Trump carried out a large-scale attack on Yemen meant to take out the Houthis.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:21.274)

Weird.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:21.694)

Trump said, quote, "They will be completely annihilated." So

Unknown Speaker (01:26:24.994)

I, I just don't understand where anyone's head is

Unknown Speaker (01:26:27.395)

at. Like, Alex is supporting Trump, who's the peace candidate-

Unknown Speaker (01:26:30.755)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:31.135)

... who's bombing Yemen in order to fight the Houthis-

Unknown Speaker (01:26:34.255)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:34.515)

... who the guy who Alex is, uh, interviewing as like a really cool guy-

Unknown Speaker (01:26:39.135)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:39.494)

... uh, selling arms to.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:41.114)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:41.475)

Huh.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:42.715)

What would Alex think about that in the past?

Unknown Speaker (01:26:45.614)

What would 2001 Alex say?

Unknown Speaker (01:26:47.534)

That's an interesting question.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:48.975)

He wouldn't love it.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:50.135)

Probably not.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:51.095)

No.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:51.555)

Probably not.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:52.935)

I have another question for you.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:54.194)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:54.755)

Um, and this is a question that is, has just occurred to me.

Unknown Speaker (01:26:58.335)

Is it

Unknown Speaker (01:26:59.675)

possible that Victor Bout is very good at the act of selling weapons

Unknown Speaker (01:27:05.954)

as like a salesman? You know, some people are good at selling-

Unknown Speaker (01:27:07.895)

You kind of have to be-

Unknown Speaker (01:27:08.994)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (01:27:09.135)

... if you're in his position probably.

Unknown Speaker (01:27:10.734)

Right. Or is it that there are so few people who are just willing to straight out-and-out be a weapons dealer-

Unknown Speaker (01:27:16.335)

Well, he-

Unknown Speaker (01:27:16.795)

... that like people are already looking for weapons and you've got weapons?

Unknown Speaker (01:27:19.935)

Yeah, that's-

Unknown Speaker (01:27:20.335)

You know what I'm saying?

Unknown Speaker (01:27:20.994)

Yeah. That's kind of a little bit where my head goes. I think weapons largely sell themselves.

Unknown Speaker (01:27:25.015)

That's what I was thinking!

Unknown Speaker (01:27:26.234)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:27:26.414)

They need weapons, they have weapons. You just need a guy in between-

Unknown Speaker (01:27:29.875)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:27:30.114)

... who doesn't need to be like, "Hey, how can I get you into an extra set of weapons today?" You know?

Unknown Speaker (01:27:34.675)

No, no, but I think whatever those used car dealer traits that are used to like move cars onto people-

Unknown Speaker (01:27:41.034)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (01:27:41.335)

... I think they're used to not die.

Unknown Speaker (01:27:43.274)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (01:27:43.614)

I think- (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:27:44.074)

Up-selling. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:27:45.234)

Yeah, it's, it's-

Unknown Speaker (01:27:46.375)

Up-selling to life.

Unknown Speaker (01:27:47.335)

In the arms dealer business-

Unknown Speaker (01:27:48.994)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:27:49.015)

... you have to use that charisma in order to survive-

Unknown Speaker (01:27:51.774)

(laughs) I mean-

Unknown Speaker (01:27:52.095)

... 'cause you're dealing with some shady fucking people probably.

Unknown Speaker (01:27:54.215)

At the end of this, I'm gonna leave this room.

Unknown Speaker (01:27:56.475)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:27:56.654)

That's my sale-

Unknown Speaker (01:27:57.515)

(laughs) Yes.

Unknown Speaker (01:27:57.774)

... right here, is I live at the end of this conversation and I'm not shot in the head by my own weapons.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:03.135)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:03.494)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:03.755)

And I think a lot of that might come down to you're also a real bad dude who-

Unknown Speaker (01:28:07.274)

Probably a real bad dude.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:08.675)

... who scares the other people who, uh, sell weapons.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:10.954)

Because you sell weapons. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:28:12.114)

Maybe to the point where they make a movie about you starring Nicolas Cage called Lord of War. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:28:16.614)

Sure, that does make sense.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:17.975)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:18.074)

That does make sense. Very movie-like. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:28:20.914)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:21.055)

Just to broker weapons.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:22.694)

This is just such bullshit.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:23.774)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:24.154)

Just such bullshit.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:25.574)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:26.335)

How... I, I just can't even, uh, believe

Unknown Speaker (01:28:29.475)

that Alex can look himself in the mirror when he, he, he's, he's become this.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:34.595)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:35.175)

It's sad, it's shameful.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:36.774)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:37.614)

Anyway, uh, we'll see what he's up to later.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:40.475)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:28:41.114)

But I don't care about him interviewing a fucking arms dealer.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:43.614)

I, I, see now, this is the problem for me is now I have an in on the arms dealer.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:49.255)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:49.534)

Because I remember being in sales, I remember going to

Unknown Speaker (01:28:51.954)

conferences where there would be all these salespeople-

Unknown Speaker (01:28:54.435)

Sure.

Unknown Speaker (01:28:54.574)

... all in a room together, all just sales talking into each other about,

Unknown Speaker (01:28:58.534)

"Uh, I hit this blank number," or whatever it is like that.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:01.395)

Mm-hmm.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:01.734)

The idea that there would be a weapons dealer conference-

Unknown Speaker (01:29:04.935)

I don't think there is.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:05.994)

... where th- where like guys like Victor Bout are like, "Dude, I cleared two billion in weapons just-"

Unknown Speaker (01:29:11.335)

No.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:11.375)

"... generalized weapons."

Unknown Speaker (01:29:12.454)

No. I'm gonna, I'm gonna guess that there is not like a con at a convention.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:16.555)

Probably not. Probably not.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:17.435)

And one of the reasons is I think that, um,

Unknown Speaker (01:29:19.814)

there's a difference between when you're, you know, selling hearing aids and stuff.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:23.135)

Sure, sure.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:23.975)

Getting the material is legal. It's quite legal.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:26.654)

That's true.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:27.295)

And what you're selling is quite legal.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:29.055)

Tends to be.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:30.175)

On his side, he's got some, probably a lot of illegal shit.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:34.395)

Gray area most of the time.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:36.854)

Right.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:37.194)

Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:37.494)

In the same way there's not like heroin conventions.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:40.635)

Sure. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:29:41.175)

(laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:29:41.435)

Sure. I imagine... You know what?

Unknown Speaker (01:29:43.994)

I don't know if that's true. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:29:46.454)

I've, I've, I'm pretty confident there's not heroin

Unknown Speaker (01:29:48.635)

conventions. Although if someone wants to correct me, they're welcome to, uh-

Unknown Speaker (01:29:51.034)

Yeah. Yeah. (laughs)

Unknown Speaker (01:29:51.935)

... let me know.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:53.395)

So, uh, we'll see where, uh, where things go from here but it's not gonna be good.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:57.034)

Nope. Doubtful.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:57.814)

Uh, but until then, we have a website.

Unknown Speaker (01:29:59.114)

Indeed we do. It's knowledgefight.com.

Unknown Speaker (01:30:00.555)

Yep. Uh, we'll be back but until then, I'm Neo, um, Leo, I'm DZX Clark. I am the mysterious professor.

Unknown Speaker (01:30:06.055)

Woo, yeah! Woo! Yeah! Woo!

Unknown Speaker (01:30:08.774)

And now here comes w- the sex robots.

Unknown Speaker (01:30:10.975)

Andy in Kansas, you're on the air. Thanks for holding.

Unknown Speaker (01:30:14.994)

Unknown Speaker (01:30:18.274)
