Dan and Jordan, I am sweating.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:19.600)
Knowledgefight.com, it's time to pray.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:21.399)
I have great respect for knowledgefight, knowledgefight.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:25.160)
I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys, saying we are the bad guys.

Dan and Jordan, Knowledgefight.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:31.320)
Riddle her, riddle her, riddle her.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:32.320)
Need, need money.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:33.320)
Riddle her, riddle her, riddle her.

Andy in Kansas, Andy in Kansas.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:35.320)
Stop it, Andy in Kansas, Andy in Kansas.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:36.320)
It's time to pray.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:37.320)
Andy in Kansas, you're on the air, thanks for holding.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:38.320)
Hello Alex, I'm a first time caller, I'm a huge fan.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:39.320)
I love your work.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:40.320)
Knowledgefight.com.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:41.320)
N-N-N-N-Knowledgefight.com, I love you.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:59.679)
Hey everybody, welcome back to Knowledge Fight, I'm Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:02.359)
I'm Jordan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:03.359)
We're double dudes, I like to sit around in a hotel room in Austin, Texas.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:08.719)
We worship Celine from afar.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:10.680)
Indeed.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:11.680)
And talk a little bit about Alex Jones, who we saw today.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:18.040)
What are we doing?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:19.040)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:20.040)
It's a very serious question.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:21.040)
We'll get back to this in a second, but we should probably talk about bright spots first.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:24.159)
Yes, that's a good point.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:25.159)
Dan?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:26.159)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:27.159)
Dan?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:28.159)
Jordan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:29.159)
What's your bright spot today, buddy?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:30.159)
My bright spot is I was doing a little bit of work around the shit today after going
Unknown Speaker (00:01:36.200)
to the trial.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:37.200)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:38.200)
And I wanted some food, and I have nothing in the hotel room, so I ordered Jack in the
Unknown Speaker (00:01:42.000)
Box.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:43.000)
Nice.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:44.000)
There's no Jack in the Box in Chicago, and it is something that is beloved of me and
Unknown Speaker (00:01:47.439)
my friends.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:48.439)
True.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:49.439)
Love a Jack in the Box, because there was one on the way to St. Louis, there wasn't
Unknown Speaker (00:01:53.680)
any in Columbia either, and so it was like this real treat that you could pull over and
Unknown Speaker (00:01:57.840)
go to the Jack in the Box.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:59.400)
Get those shitty tacos.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:00.519)
Right, right, right, right.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:01.519)
Two for a dollar.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:02.640)
Just because they're not good doesn't mean that when the heart wants what it wants.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:06.859)
There's a certain pride in liking garbage.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:10.280)
Yes, yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:12.000)
But yeah, so I got that.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:13.000)
I got some of the Jack in the Box tacos.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:15.280)
They showed up, worst delivery experience.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:19.159)
I missed this guy.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:20.159)
I shouldn't complain.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:21.159)
You got hit by a truck yesterday.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:22.159)
That is true.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:23.159)
That is true.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:25.400)
There are differing levels of suffering that we have gone through.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:28.560)
Your situation was maybe a little tougher, but I get the Jack in the Box.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:32.759)
There's no sauce for the tacos.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:35.360)
And so I thought to myself, this is going to be disgusting.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:39.020)
They're already disgusting, but the sauce makes them edible.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:41.800)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:42.800)
But I decided to soldier through, and they were still pretty good.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:46.120)
Nice.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:47.120)
So yeah, that's my bright spot.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:48.280)
That's a significant bright spot.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:49.360)
My bright spot is that the Jack in the Box tacos were not ruined by being sauceless.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:53.319)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:54.319)
So what about you?
Unknown Speaker (00:02:55.319)
Getting hit by a truck?
Unknown Speaker (00:02:56.319)
I mean, my bright spot is, boy, it's been a long cavalcade of shit for me.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:01.960)
My bright spot is I've been really enjoying tweeting about the trial because there's literally
Unknown Speaker (00:03:07.280)
nothing else that's been good so far.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:09.379)
I've been hit by a truck.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:10.800)
I've had to run around this whole fucking town for THC for a soundboard that doesn't
Unknown Speaker (00:03:16.560)
even fucking work half the point.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:18.599)
All of this shit is bad, but I'm having a fun time.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:21.560)
Live tweeting.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:22.560)
It's all you got.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:23.560)
It's all I got, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:24.560)
Don't take it away from me.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:25.560)
We should clarify a number of things because I think people might be confused.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:28.400)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:29.400)
Well, the soundboard issue that you're talking about is we brought a small soundboard with
Unknown Speaker (00:03:35.919)
which to record and did not realize until we got here that it did not have a USB connection,
Unknown Speaker (00:03:42.560)
so it couldn't plug into the laptop and I couldn't play clips through it.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:46.360)
Issue.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:47.360)
Yeah, problem.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:48.360)
Now that's going into a lake.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:49.360)
We're going to throw that into Barton Springs in honor of Alex.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:53.039)
Yeah, we're going to write, Alex, this one's for you.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:56.360)
Then you got a replacement, another one that has a USB connection, and we cannot get it
Unknown Speaker (00:04:01.439)
to work.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:02.439)
I spent three hours plus earlier trying everything I could figure out to do it.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:07.319)
So we're recording this here, but we can't play any clips.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:11.719)
Sorry.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:12.719)
It's not our fault.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:15.180)
We have to take the blame because it's not anybody else's fault, but it is just bad happenstance,
Unknown Speaker (00:04:21.240)
and I had a fun episode really ready to go, but I guess we just have to ruminate on our
Unknown Speaker (00:04:25.759)
experience in Austin so far.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:28.079)
So you got hit by a truck though, but it's not like you got T-boned or run over.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:36.680)
It was kind of a weird situation.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:39.360)
We were driving in a fucking parking lot and my lift driver, I mean my ride share driver,
Unknown Speaker (00:04:46.339)
was absolutely flying in the parking lot, and I was not paying attention whatsoever.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:54.839)
I was like, hey, I'm happy that this guy's moving because I've been waiting here for
Unknown Speaker (00:04:58.000)
a while, and then all of a sudden I am smashed into the passenger side door because we got
Unknown Speaker (00:05:04.279)
T-boned by a fucking lawn scaping truck, one of those huge ass like F4000s or whatever
Unknown Speaker (00:05:10.959)
they're fucking called.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:11.959)
Now I feel bad about saying you didn't get T-boned.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:13.680)
Yeah, no, we got T-boned, and I mean it was like he was going 15, 20 miles an hour, so
Unknown Speaker (00:05:20.279)
all I have is a giant lump on my head.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:22.120)
I didn't have a serious concussion or have to go to the hospital.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:25.160)
Which you made me, you were going to make me feel your head, and I refused.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:29.800)
I wasn't going to make you feel my head.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:31.759)
I offered.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:32.759)
You certainly suggested it forcefully.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:33.759)
I gave you the option, should you so choose.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:36.680)
Do you think that there's a possibility that this bump on the head is what is causing you
Unknown Speaker (00:05:41.279)
to live tweet?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:44.439)
There are so many possible things that the bump on the head could be responsible for.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:48.199)
This could be your super villain shit poster.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:51.480)
Oh no, I'm on the way to becoming Glenn Greenwald.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:55.800)
Oh no.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:56.800)
You become what you hate, Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:59.079)
Aging is the worst.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:00.079)
Quite a path, quite a path for you to go down.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:02.199)
If I go there, we're in trouble.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:04.800)
So what would that make me?
Unknown Speaker (00:06:06.439)
Would I be Matt Taibbi?
Unknown Speaker (00:06:07.439)
Who would I be?
Unknown Speaker (00:06:08.439)
Yeah, that would make sense, except for, yeah, that would work.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:12.560)
So we're here, we're in Austin, and yeah, so two days in on the trial at this point
Unknown Speaker (00:06:20.079)
when we're recording this, at midnight, because I couldn't get these recorders to work.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:25.319)
We're doing great.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:26.399)
Doing so good.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:27.399)
We're doing great.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:28.399)
Got in on Sunday, Monday was jury selection, and we had the thought, or the belief was,
Unknown Speaker (00:06:38.519)
initially that we would be able to go to that and hang out at the courthouse.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:42.519)
But we were not, we're not able to, so instead watched a bit of that on the old live stream.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:48.480)
Yeah, the judge, I believe, didn't allow any media into the room during the jury selection.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:54.160)
This is what I've heard from other media folk.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:57.160)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:58.160)
When I say other media folk, I mean media folk.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:00.160)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:01.160)
The only ones that are here.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:02.759)
Not trying to pretend that we have press badges or anything.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:06.639)
I did put a little sign in my hat, in my fedora that said press.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:09.800)
What hat?
Unknown Speaker (00:07:10.800)
The bump?
Unknown Speaker (00:07:11.800)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was like-
Unknown Speaker (00:07:12.800)
Put a little sign on your bump?
Unknown Speaker (00:07:13.800)
I was like, excuse me, I'm breaking.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:17.560)
And so, yeah, that first day was a little bit uneventful.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:21.439)
I think jury selection is kind of an arduous process.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:25.160)
There's a lot of repetition.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:26.160)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:27.160)
It's kind of, you get a little bit of insight into some stuff, obviously, but it's not flashy.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:32.879)
Yeah, it was interesting to watch the jury selection in full, just because it appeared
Unknown Speaker (00:07:40.240)
that the defense lawyer was absolutely willing to give up every bit of their strategy in
Unknown Speaker (00:07:45.800)
every single question.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:47.600)
It was literally like, hey, what if I said I want a judgment of one dollar?
Unknown Speaker (00:07:52.319)
Who here?
Unknown Speaker (00:07:53.319)
It was an auction.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:54.319)
Who here?
Unknown Speaker (00:07:55.319)
Oh, number nine.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:56.319)
Who's buying?
Unknown Speaker (00:07:57.319)
Number nine, one dollar.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:58.319)
Number 10, $40.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:59.319)
And then he was-
Unknown Speaker (00:08:00.319)
He asked what everybody's maximum amount would be, and the plaintiffs obviously objected
Unknown Speaker (00:08:06.839)
because no.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:07.839)
Yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:08.839)
That seems-
Unknown Speaker (00:08:09.839)
That's absurd.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:10.839)
It seems like a question you should be able to ask.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:12.560)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:13.560)
Apparently you can't.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:14.560)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:15.560)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:16.560)
That went on Monday.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:17.560)
Let me ask you this.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:18.560)
When you were watching it, obviously I don't want you to give any specifics, but did you
Unknown Speaker (00:08:22.720)
find yourself pulling for any jurors?
Unknown Speaker (00:08:25.319)
Not necessarily for them to be on the jury, but did you find yourself getting favorites?
Unknown Speaker (00:08:30.120)
Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:31.120)
There were a few people who gave responses that were impassioned, were empathetic, were
Unknown Speaker (00:08:41.919)
caring, and were the absolute wrong thing to say if you ever wanted to be on this fucking
Unknown Speaker (00:08:46.139)
jury in your life.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:49.200)
Somebody was describing restorative justice almost to a T, and listening to that I was
Unknown Speaker (00:08:55.480)
like, you're gone, bye.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:58.159)
Get out of here.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:59.159)
Yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:00.159)
It was that fast.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:01.159)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:02.159)
I think the dynamic is kind of fun because you couldn't really see the people, and so
Unknown Speaker (00:09:05.759)
you just had their words to judge on.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:09.080)
You had their words and the face of a lawyer unhappy.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:12.679)
It's like that dating game where you'd have bachelor number one, two, and three behind
Unknown Speaker (00:09:17.919)
a screen, juror number one.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:20.919)
I would have preferred a game of guess who where we could have just slapped off the people.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:24.480)
No beard.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:25.480)
Yeah, exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:26.480)
We've got a whole array, just nope, no glasses.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:29.919)
Is your juror wearing a hat?
Unknown Speaker (00:09:31.440)
Yes, yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:32.440)
It doesn't have press in there.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:34.159)
That's me.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:35.159)
Oh, bam.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:36.519)
So that came to a close, and we went and got barbecue.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:41.240)
Yes, we did.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:42.240)
We went to get some barbecue, which was fine.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:45.399)
That was my first and last food in the past three days, so.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:47.840)
You've got to get it together.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:48.840)
I do, I do.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:49.840)
I, on the other hand, check in the box tacos, barbecue, I got some donuts for tomorrow morning.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:57.399)
You're doing better than me, but I think I could outrun you at this point is the best
Unknown Speaker (00:10:00.879)
I can do.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:01.879)
You can run.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:05.120)
That's good enough.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:06.120)
So yeah, then today was the beginning, the opening statements and a little bit of witness
Unknown Speaker (00:10:16.279)
time.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:17.279)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:18.279)
How did you feel about Mark's opening statement?
Unknown Speaker (00:10:19.279)
I thought it was good.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:20.279)
Yeah?
Unknown Speaker (00:10:21.279)
I thought, well, I mean, look, here's the thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:24.659)
When you talk about the opening statements that were made in this case, I think you got
Unknown Speaker (00:10:29.039)
to look at both of them at the same time.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:33.799)
Because I think obviously you could just say that Mark's opening statement was good.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:38.320)
But in order to understand why it was good, you really have to look at the other one,
Unknown Speaker (00:10:42.600)
which was not good.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:44.039)
Amazing.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:45.039)
Alex's lawyer's opening statement was not good.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:48.240)
One of the reasons why is, first of all, it was kind of meandering.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:51.480)
It wasn't very well delivered.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:53.320)
Whereas Mark had a sort of a sincerity behind what he was saying, a pathos.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:00.919)
But more than that, there was an arc to it.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:04.240)
There was a story essentially of like, here are relevant pieces of information that fit
Unknown Speaker (00:11:11.240)
into what happened.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:14.840)
And that was really missing from the defense opening statement, which was just kind of
Unknown Speaker (00:11:19.879)
like, come on.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:21.519)
I mean, Alex apologized.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:24.360)
It was like a series of one, this isn't Alex's fault, even if he did say he did it and we
Unknown Speaker (00:11:29.620)
heard him do it, two, I know you saw those videos, but he didn't actually say that.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:34.320)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:35.320)
Three, come on.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:36.320)
He apologized.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:37.320)
That doesn't count.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:38.320)
And four, it's again, everybody else's fault, but Alex's.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:40.799)
Sue them.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:42.799)
One of the things that the opening statement certainly included for the defense was the
Unknown Speaker (00:11:47.600)
notion of you've got to watch the videos.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:50.039)
Oh yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:51.039)
And that came up a couple of times and I have such a conflicted relationship with that because
Unknown Speaker (00:11:55.840)
I do think you do need to generally.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:58.799)
Well you would have to.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:59.799)
A lot of times there is context that's missing from short sections of videos, but if you
Unknown Speaker (00:12:07.039)
are Alex and you demand people watch whole videos, no one has the time in their life
Unknown Speaker (00:12:13.019)
to do it.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:14.019)
And if that's the standard of being able to judge Alex's intentions, like nobody except
Unknown Speaker (00:12:19.279)
me would be qualified to have an opinion on what he did.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:24.080)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:25.080)
And if that's true, which means that yours is the only opinion that counts.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:29.120)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:30.120)
So I think we've already established the laws.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:31.600)
But you understand someone would just come back to me with like, oh, you didn't watch
Unknown Speaker (00:12:34.919)
this or something.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:35.919)
Yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:36.919)
No, of course.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:37.919)
There's always going to be some standard of something that you're missing.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:40.679)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:41.679)
And that's difficult because I think some people can be done dirty by selective attention
Unknown Speaker (00:12:48.360)
and cherry picking of stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:50.600)
But I don't think that's the case here at all.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:52.860)
Not just that, but in Mark's opening arguments, he played a clip where Info Wars clearly edited
Unknown Speaker (00:12:59.519)
versions of clips together deceptively to avoid playing the full clip.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:05.360)
So Alex is guilty of the thing that he blames everybody else for not doing.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:10.799)
Well, that clip that you're talking about is the one where Owen Schroyer is talking
Unknown Speaker (00:13:16.320)
about Mr. Heslin in his interview on Megyn Kelly.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:19.600)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:20.600)
And they play two clips, one of Dr. Wayne Carver and one of one of the other parents,
Unknown Speaker (00:13:26.159)
and they are edited in such a way as to make it appear that they are saying that they didn't
Unknown Speaker (00:13:31.919)
see the kids and there was no way.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:33.440)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:34.440)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:35.440)
And so the issue is, I don't think anybody can demonstrate that Info Wars edited those
Unknown Speaker (00:13:40.360)
videos.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:41.360)
They may have come in house deceptively edited.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:44.720)
Possible.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:45.720)
So it's still their fault for not finding out what the context is.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:49.320)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:50.320)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:51.320)
Maybe they didn't do it themselves.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:52.320)
Maybe they didn't make the videos, but if you're the ones who play it on Info Wars while
Unknown Speaker (00:13:56.720)
saying that everybody else needs to watch the full clip, go fuck yourself.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:00.159)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:01.159)
Yeah, definitely.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:02.159)
Point Stands just wanted to-
Unknown Speaker (00:14:03.679)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:04.679)
Clarification from the judge.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:06.720)
I'm talking legalese now.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:08.259)
So we showed up prior to these opening statements and I had a nice seat in the front row reserved.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:17.600)
You had to go to the back.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:18.600)
I had to go sit in the back because I am a bad boy.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:22.799)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:23.799)
They thought it would dampen the sound a little bit in case you yelled something.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:28.259)
The first thing that happened when I sat down in the back after Alex walked in-
Unknown Speaker (00:14:33.080)
Well, I was going to get to that.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:34.240)
Oh, okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:35.240)
Sorry.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:36.240)
Thanks for ruining the dramatic reveal.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:37.240)
Sorry.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:38.240)
I'm sorry.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:39.240)
No, see, I sat down.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:40.240)
I was sitting next to Sebastian Murdoch from the Huffington Post who was there.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:45.559)
Very nice to meet him.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:46.559)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:47.559)
And there was this weird buzz of like, is Alex going to show up?
Unknown Speaker (00:14:52.799)
Right, because he wasn't there yesterday.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:54.000)
He wasn't there on Monday.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:55.000)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:56.000)
He had played sick or something.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:58.759)
And so yeah, there was just kind of a feeling in the air of, is he going to show up?
Unknown Speaker (00:15:03.799)
And my conjecture had been, I know I said this to you and I talked to Robert about it
Unknown Speaker (00:15:09.200)
a little bit on the episode that we did, that Alex was going to show up and he was going
Unknown Speaker (00:15:14.039)
to make a scene.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:15.039)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:16.039)
He was going to be a dick outside the courtroom because he couldn't behave like a dick inside
Unknown Speaker (00:15:20.039)
the courtroom.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:21.039)
Correct.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:22.039)
That was kind of my theory if he did show up.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:24.519)
But we didn't know if he was going to.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:26.159)
And so we're there, we're hanging out.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:28.039)
Having a good time.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:29.039)
Minding our own business.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:30.039)
Boom.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:31.039)
In walks Alex in a-
Unknown Speaker (00:15:32.039)
Oh yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:33.039)
Disgusting jacket.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:34.039)
Just gross.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:35.039)
Just gross.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:36.039)
Shlubby fucking jacket.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:37.039)
Not to insult the man based on his appearance.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:38.879)
No, you can insult his jacket.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:40.720)
I'm insulting him based upon respect for the court.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:43.519)
Right, right.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:44.519)
Look better than that.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:45.519)
Not good.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:46.519)
Now I sweat through a shirt that wasn't very attractive at all.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:49.159)
True, true.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:50.159)
But I don't have respect for courts, so that's fine with me.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:52.799)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:53.799)
That you're not there in a position where you have to wear an undershirt.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:02.480)
So Alex walked in and I was in the deposition.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:06.360)
So I've been in a room with him before and I don't know what it was like for you to experience
Unknown Speaker (00:16:12.220)
him in the flesh for the first time.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:14.320)
You know, it was very similar to what you described when you met him for the first time,
Unknown Speaker (00:16:21.559)
which was like, one, you should know who I am.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:25.960)
He does.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:26.960)
Two-
Unknown Speaker (00:16:27.960)
I'm sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:28.960)
I know, I know.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:29.960)
And two, boy, this is really disappointing.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:33.799)
You are a disappointing motherfucker is what it is.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:36.200)
You know what was super weird was that I was surprised by how little the atmosphere in
Unknown Speaker (00:16:41.039)
the room changed when he came in.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:43.559)
You know, there was a part of me that expected this electric thing was going to come in and
Unknown Speaker (00:16:50.080)
it wasn't.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:51.080)
It was just kind of a dude with way too much security.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:53.519)
Yeah, way too much security.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:55.440)
I counted six total.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:56.960)
Yeah, there was a bunch.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:59.679)
And outside, after you had left, Alex was doing a little bit of a small press conference
Unknown Speaker (00:17:05.640)
outside.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:06.640)
He had some other security guards, one of whom may have had a fake mustache.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:10.279)
It is unclear.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:12.920)
Or was he one of the ones from earlier in the day who was kicked out?
Unknown Speaker (00:17:16.200)
No, no.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:17.200)
Definitely a different guy.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:18.200)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:19.200)
But yeah, so Alex shows up and beyond just the atmosphere in the room not really changing
Unknown Speaker (00:17:25.279)
and just being like, eh, he showed up.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:27.880)
Hey, what about that?
Unknown Speaker (00:17:29.359)
Hey, beyond that, the other thing that I was really struck by was how few people were there.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:37.240)
Really not many people.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:38.480)
I say this, and I say this at risk of sounding conceited.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:44.039)
I think there were more Knowledge Fight fans there than Alex fans.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:46.960)
I agree.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:47.960)
There were three or four people who came up to us and thank you for saying hello.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:51.720)
It was really nice to meet you all.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:53.359)
And they were like, we're not here in any official capacity.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:56.180)
We just came to see the shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:59.000)
And very polite and nice.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:01.000)
Totally.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:02.000)
Incredibly good people.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:03.000)
Nice to meet some folks.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:04.000)
And I didn't see anybody who appeared to be someone I would recognize from Info Wars World,
Unknown Speaker (00:18:10.799)
like one of the other reporters.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:15.920)
He could have just had Harrison Smith wait out in the hall for Savannah Hernandez and
Unknown Speaker (00:18:20.240)
then do an interview or something.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:21.960)
Harrison has to wait in the car, okay?
Unknown Speaker (00:18:24.079)
The windows rolled up.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:25.079)
The windows rolled up.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:27.079)
If he lives, if he dies, he dies.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:29.079)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:30.079)
That's Alex's snake handling.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:31.720)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:32.720)
It was not packed really at all.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:38.440)
And that surprised me a little bit.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:40.660)
I thought that, I mean, I don't know what I thought, but I figured Alex would have some
Unknown Speaker (00:18:47.119)
kind of a fan base that would be there.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:49.839)
First off, the first thing that we thought was get there early because we don't know
Unknown Speaker (00:18:53.480)
if there's going to be enough room.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:55.359)
You know?
Unknown Speaker (00:18:56.359)
There was plenty of room.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:58.559)
Now a lot of people were taking up more space maybe than they...
Unknown Speaker (00:19:03.200)
And there were some people, there was at least a few people with equipment, like cameras
Unknown Speaker (00:19:08.720)
or what have you, so that takes up more than one seat.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:13.359)
But yeah, I was baffled by that.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:19.000)
I think that's sad for him.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:23.720)
I don't know, maybe he would actively not want any of his fans in the courtroom on account
Unknown Speaker (00:19:29.279)
of all the truth that he's not allowed to lie about.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:33.480)
Well, but he doesn't have to talk.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:36.279)
That's true.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:37.279)
It's not like he's going to be up on the stand getting debased or anything.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:41.680)
True.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:42.680)
But I think that I have two minds about it.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:45.759)
One is I think that if I were him, I probably wouldn't want my listeners there either.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:50.400)
Not necessarily because of what they would be exposed to, because you can wiggle around,
Unknown Speaker (00:19:55.460)
but because you know that they're going to not be cool.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:01.420)
They're not going to be people you want to meet, probably, for Alex.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:04.119)
He likes to run away from people who like him.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:07.480)
And then second, they're probably going to yell 1776 in the court.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:12.720)
100%.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:13.720)
And that would be bad, I guess, but then here's where the other part of my mind is.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:18.680)
Maybe that would be good.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:19.880)
Maybe that would be what you'd want.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:20.960)
Disrupt the court entirely and have somebody else do it that you don't have to take responsibility
Unknown Speaker (00:20:25.799)
for.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:26.799)
That's true.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:27.799)
You know?
Unknown Speaker (00:20:28.799)
And I guess...
Unknown Speaker (00:20:29.799)
Although that may really prejudice the jury against you if one of your fans busts out
Unknown Speaker (00:20:34.640)
just going, 1776!
Unknown Speaker (00:20:36.920)
I think if I were on a jury, I'd be like, that guy is the bad guy.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:40.440)
The end.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:41.440)
I do think that would bias me if I was on a jury that this person is very passionate
Unknown Speaker (00:20:46.240)
and believes in America.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:48.240)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:49.240)
Sure!
Unknown Speaker (00:20:50.240)
That's what I would think.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:51.240)
And instills it in their followers.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:52.240)
That's what I would think.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:53.240)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:54.240)
Yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:55.240)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:56.240)
And so the opening statements, like I said, I think we agree on this.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:59.119)
One good, one bad.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:01.640)
It reminds me of relativity.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:04.200)
You know how if you're moving close to the speed of light, time moves slower.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:08.519)
So if you go out at a light year away and then come back, everybody you know is two
Unknown Speaker (00:21:15.400)
years older and you're still the same age, relatively speaking, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:21:20.099)
That is similar to the opening arguments.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:23.000)
Mark went to fucking the Andromeda Galaxy and this dude dug himself a grave.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:29.119)
Well, Mark had a PowerPoint presentation with some clips and context and all this.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:34.880)
And Alex's lawyer had a board to write on.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:39.039)
Big notepad.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:40.039)
Big notepad.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:41.039)
Yup.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:42.039)
That he wrote slowly on.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:43.039)
Yes, it was excruciating.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:44.039)
And most of it was really just like, here's a stretch of time.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:48.799)
And then like one word, like 2016, he wrote on there, it was just Hillary.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:53.319)
Yup.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:54.319)
It's like what?
Unknown Speaker (00:21:55.319)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:56.319)
Why are we what?
Unknown Speaker (00:21:57.319)
Are we here?
Unknown Speaker (00:21:58.319)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:59.319)
But here's what really bummed me out.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:00.319)
What's that?
Unknown Speaker (00:22:01.319)
So when we got in to the courtroom initially, there were some props.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:04.960)
Yes, there were.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:06.680)
Alex's lawyers had some props.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:09.039)
Right in the gate.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:10.180)
One of them was a board that said something to the effect of like Infowars coverage of
Unknown Speaker (00:22:17.160)
Sandy Hook was one fifth of one percent of their coverage.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:21.480)
And then there was another thing that was like, I think it was going to be velcroed
Unknown Speaker (00:22:25.759)
on to the big board.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:26.880)
No shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:27.880)
There was like a magnifying glass in order to demonstrate the...
Unknown Speaker (00:22:31.599)
That's what I thought.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:32.599)
Oh shit, that's what that shape was.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:35.079)
It wasn't unveiled because I was sitting in the back row, obviously.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:38.559)
Front row, you get to see the magnifying glass, baby.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:41.079)
And it wasn't allowed in court.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:42.759)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:43.759)
So I didn't get to know what the oddly shaped thing was.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:46.819)
This was excluded as being something that could be presented, I think for a number of
Unknown Speaker (00:22:51.240)
reasons.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:52.240)
One, tacky.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:53.240)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:54.240)
Two, as I understand it, it was that if you're going to say that, you have to be able to
Unknown Speaker (00:22:59.920)
demonstrate it.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:00.920)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:01.920)
And you can't demonstrate that it was one half of one percent.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:04.680)
It's tough.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:05.680)
Yeah, but here's why I'm pissed off about this.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:09.440)
I wanted those props.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:10.799)
God, they would have been so funny.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:13.000)
I want those props so bad.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:14.940)
I understand the judge needed...
Unknown Speaker (00:23:16.559)
How would I get it back to Chicago, though?
Unknown Speaker (00:23:18.759)
The judge needed to disqualify those on account of this is a courtroom in real life.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:24.119)
She should have confiscated them.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:25.640)
Absolutely, and then given them to you.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:28.559)
But I mean, those are not going to help the defense.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:31.480)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:32.480)
The board that they had, the big sign, that I did get to see a little bit of because it
Unknown Speaker (00:23:39.240)
was unveiled early and it basically looked like the McDonald's over 500,000 hours sold.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:47.799)
Like it was that kind of thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:49.920)
Trying to make a big deal of like, he does a ton of content and this much was about San
Unknown Speaker (00:23:54.200)
Diego.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:55.200)
This guy lies about everything.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:56.200)
What, are you going to hold him accountable for this?
Unknown Speaker (00:23:58.000)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:59.000)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:00.000)
I spent like a million hours.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:02.839)
Only two of them I spent murdering.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:04.519)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:05.519)
What is it?
Unknown Speaker (00:24:06.519)
What are you going to hold it against you?
Unknown Speaker (00:24:07.519)
Such a small amount.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:08.519)
Who among us has not spent two hours we regret?
Unknown Speaker (00:24:11.279)
I want those fucking props.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:13.480)
I got to find, tomorrow morning, I'm going back to the courthouse.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:18.079)
You're going to live tweet and do your business.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:20.759)
Trying to figure out the sound, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:22.720)
But before I go into the courthouse, I'm going to try and find their dumpster, see if it's
Unknown Speaker (00:24:27.119)
in there.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:28.119)
Oh man.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:29.119)
Is it in the courthouse dumpster?
Unknown Speaker (00:24:30.119)
Because what else would they do with it?
Unknown Speaker (00:24:31.359)
Throw it into Barden Springs?
Unknown Speaker (00:24:34.160)
We're going to throw our sound board right next to it and we'll be like, oh my God, what's
Unknown Speaker (00:24:38.579)
happening here?
Unknown Speaker (00:24:39.579)
Then we're going to find Mark's car is in there, the bodyguards all threw it in.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:45.480)
The fake mustache is in there?
Unknown Speaker (00:24:47.440)
Yes, absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:48.759)
Oh God.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:50.480)
So the opening statements go down and actually in between them there's a recess.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:57.279)
And everybody exits the court.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:01.880)
Alex goes out before us and as we're exiting, you can see that a little ways down the hallway,
Unknown Speaker (00:25:09.680)
which is the only way to leave this courtroom.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:12.079)
Can't miss it.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:13.079)
Alex has posted up in front of some cameras and is yelling about how he got jammed up.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:17.799)
Now Jordan, ever the yeller, you decided that you wanted to interfere.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:25.839)
Yeah, I was just-
Unknown Speaker (00:25:26.839)
Disrupt the-
Unknown Speaker (00:25:27.839)
I was just sitting here listening to this bullshit and watching these people in a courtroom
Unknown Speaker (00:25:32.160)
protect him and his ability to say nonsense on camera, which is the whole point of this
Unknown Speaker (00:25:38.160)
fucking trial that he shouldn't be allowed to.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:40.440)
Fair.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:41.440)
And then they're going to come at me for being like, hey, I need to yell at this motherfucker.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:46.519)
You know?
Unknown Speaker (00:25:47.519)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:48.519)
So instantly after I said something, the court officer just walks up to me, gets right in
Unknown Speaker (00:25:54.299)
front of my face real close and goes, that's a warning.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:57.440)
And it's like, fuck you, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:58.720)
Well, there's two things.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:00.119)
I don't think it was that intimidating.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:01.720)
I was there.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:02.720)
No, he wasn't intimidating.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:03.880)
And his motion wasn't as intimidating as you were.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:06.039)
You're trying to make it sound-
Unknown Speaker (00:26:07.039)
Well, I'm taller than him.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:09.759)
And then second, I think that I see both sides of this.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:13.240)
I get where you're coming from and I think in a cosmic scale, yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:17.839)
I agree.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:19.319)
But in the sort of the individual, like actual real world of it, like we're there and it's
Unknown Speaker (00:26:25.839)
a disrespect to the court, what he's doing and you'd be adding to it.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:29.960)
Of course.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:30.960)
If you, if you yelled at him.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:31.960)
So I'm glad, I'm glad that, uh, calmer heads prevailed and my stealth strategy worked,
Unknown Speaker (00:26:38.599)
which was stand behind him and just stare into the camera until you're there on Fox
Unknown Speaker (00:26:47.839)
7.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:48.839)
So my goal was insert myself in some entirely where's Waldo ass in the background kind of
Unknown Speaker (00:26:57.599)
way.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:58.599)
And you were.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:59.599)
Photobomb his news conference.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:01.079)
Perfect.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:02.079)
And so, you know, if Alex watches himself on the news, he's now going to see me behind
Unknown Speaker (00:27:05.440)
him.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:06.440)
And that, uh, that worked out okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:08.720)
I don't think I was in all of the shots.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:10.559)
No, you were in quite a bit of it.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:12.000)
I watched a little bit of that segment and we were both, well, I will tell you this,
Unknown Speaker (00:27:16.519)
my sweaty pits were, uh, prominently featured, uh, in, in many, uh, clipped, I also got sidetracked
Unknown Speaker (00:27:24.440)
with glad handings, bill walked by and a reporter I'd met, uh, so, you know, a lot of, a lot
Unknown Speaker (00:27:31.359)
of hello.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:32.359)
Um, so that happens and I thought for sure Alex was going to leave, I thought like, okay,
Unknown Speaker (00:27:42.200)
he's done his beast.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:43.200)
He's going to leave.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:44.200)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:45.200)
So he, he ended up staying for his own, uh, opening statement.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:49.519)
Um, and, uh, at that point, the, uh, judge warned him about doing the, what he had done
Unknown Speaker (00:27:58.880)
in the hallway rightfully.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:01.160)
And maybe, uh, a little late to warn, maybe that should have been immediate.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:05.160)
Do you think?
Unknown Speaker (00:28:06.160)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:07.160)
I'm not going to talk to the judge too bad, but a little bit late is the story of this
Unknown Speaker (00:28:11.799)
trial.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:12.799)
Well, you know, I think, I think when you're dealing with somebody like Alex, you got to
Unknown Speaker (00:28:16.519)
give as many benefits of doubt as you can, because the argument is always going to be
Unknown Speaker (00:28:22.079)
that you jammed this person up and you got to cover all your bases to make sure that
Unknown Speaker (00:28:27.359)
those things are flimsy appearances that could be knocked down super easily.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:32.160)
And I understand.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:33.160)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:34.160)
But I think that if you're somebody who has like some kind of an awareness of how Alex
Unknown Speaker (00:28:37.599)
operates, you can't do many press conferences would have been like ground rule.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:42.960)
I mean, we're on year what now?
Unknown Speaker (00:28:45.920)
He did that during his like the custody hearing.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:48.960)
Yup.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:49.960)
This is what he does.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:50.960)
Yup.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:51.960)
Anyway, I should be allowed to give an impromptu press conference outside.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:54.480)
I mean, I think that's fair.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:56.240)
If he's going to be a giant asshole, I think I should be allowed to as well.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:59.680)
Well, but you would have then gotten, uh, told to leave.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:02.720)
I was basically told to leave.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:04.839)
You were not.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:05.839)
You were like, I'm going to leave.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:07.720)
I'm too sweaty.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:08.720)
I am way too sweaty.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:09.720)
Your pits told you to leave.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:10.720)
Oh man, man, extreme anxiety is not fun.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:14.200)
Yup.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:15.200)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:16.200)
And not realizing that weed isn't legal here until you get here.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:18.359)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:19.359)
It is.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:20.359)
It is weird to have extreme anxiety and have treated it successfully with THC for a few
Unknown Speaker (00:29:26.920)
years.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:27.920)
And then just all of a sudden people are like, no, your meds are illegal.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:31.759)
Like, Oh, okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:33.339)
I guess I'm just going to sweat my balls off in this courtroom then.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:37.759)
That is tough.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:38.759)
And uh, I was mentioning that to somebody about how, uh, you know, it's tough, you know,
Unknown Speaker (00:29:44.640)
weed's illegal here.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:45.640)
You know, we're from Chicago.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:46.640)
You can just go get it.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:47.640)
And he's like, you know, we, you can get it here too.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:50.279)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:51.279)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:52.279)
If you know someone or if you go get Delta H shit, man, I've been doing THC for too long
Unknown Speaker (00:29:58.200)
to believe that Delta, well, I, I sucked down an entire vape cartridge of Delta eight and
Unknown Speaker (00:30:04.640)
uh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:05.640)
I think that was part of your sweating.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:06.640)
No, no, no, no.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:07.720)
That was, that was yesterday.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:09.119)
I ran out.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:10.119)
Oh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:11.119)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:12.119)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:13.119)
So, um, Alex gets reprimanded and told, Hey, cut it out with this bullshit, uh, shenanigans.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:18.839)
And um, you know, I, I, I regretted maybe staying, uh, for the, the second part.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:26.599)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:27.599)
Uh, his, uh, opening statement was pretty boring, but then yeah, it took off to, uh,
Unknown Speaker (00:30:32.720)
come back here, uh, come back to the hotel to do some work and watch the, uh, the stream
Unknown Speaker (00:30:37.799)
from here.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:38.799)
And the, you missed out on this.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:42.000)
You had already left and outside, uh, outside of the courtroom, Alex showed up outside,
Unknown Speaker (00:30:51.440)
in order to do another mini press course, because he had told, he was told he can't
Unknown Speaker (00:30:56.119)
do one in the room.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:57.799)
And so he did it out in front of the courthouse and he put on that like Info Wars bumper sticker
Unknown Speaker (00:31:03.180)
over his mouth.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:04.180)
Wow.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:05.180)
And then just took it off.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:06.180)
Basically when he realized that there was nobody out there, there was nobody.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:11.119)
What a message.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:12.119)
He had no fans hanging out.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:14.539)
There was no press.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:16.440)
Here's who the press was.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:18.279)
You had, uh, Sebastian from the Huffington post.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:21.559)
You had Liz Williamson from the New York times and that might've been it.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:25.119)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:26.119)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:27.119)
That sounds about right.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:28.119)
There were more security guards than there were press and fans combined.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:30.759)
True.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:31.759)
It was so sad because Alex was holding his, his like little thing and you could, I was
Unknown Speaker (00:31:36.319)
watching from afar and I could tell that he was doing his, they will not let me defend
Unknown Speaker (00:31:41.359)
myself.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:42.359)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:43.359)
And then he realized that the reporters were people that he knew and didn't like him and
Unknown Speaker (00:31:47.920)
you could see like a little bit of a, ah shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:51.579)
So then he posed with his lawyer, uh, with the bumper sticker over his mouth.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:55.119)
Oh my God.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:56.119)
What a pathetic loser.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:58.000)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:59.000)
Then he took off.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:00.000)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:01.000)
That's, that's tough.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:02.000)
It was hilarious to watch because there was such a impotent showmanship.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:08.160)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:09.160)
It was a showman without a crowd and that was fun.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:13.599)
God.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:14.599)
If somebody had played the curb theme song, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:32:17.559)
Well, that was what I was saying I wanted to do instead of yelling at Alex was just
Unknown Speaker (00:32:23.119)
put on the cantina theme from Star Wars and dance around.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:29.839)
Wailing jizzles here.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:31.200)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:32.200)
Just to just dance around behind him.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:34.440)
Oh God.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:37.279)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:38.279)
I, I, um, I think, I thought there was something really sad about that.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:43.400)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:44.400)
And it kind of hit me that, um, you know, that electricness that you didn't feel when
Unknown Speaker (00:32:49.720)
he walked into the room, uh, I noticed that you could kind of get a little bit of that
Unknown Speaker (00:32:55.859)
sense when he was in front of those cameras.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:58.519)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:59.519)
There was there, it wasn't the vibe in the room didn't change because he didn't turn
Unknown Speaker (00:33:04.839)
himself on.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:05.839)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:06.839)
Like he can just turn himself on and off and whatever.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:11.000)
And he just was like, I'm here.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:13.000)
Just catatonic.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:14.000)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:15.000)
No, he's, he's a, I mean, after the, I don't know, you couldn't, you couldn't see this
Unknown Speaker (00:33:19.440)
because you left the courtroom, but on the feed after the opening arguments, Alex and
Unknown Speaker (00:33:26.079)
his lawyer were laughing.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:27.319)
The lawyer essentially said, you know, I think we've got half the jury because he's a moron.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:32.119)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:33.119)
And then he's an optimist and then, well, I listened to him talk, you decide, uh, and
Unknown Speaker (00:33:39.480)
then Alex, he was an optimist thinking those props were going to fly.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:42.920)
That's true.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:43.920)
That's true.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:44.920)
And then Alex looks directly at the feed camera and then gives it finger guns straight up,
Unknown Speaker (00:33:51.400)
double finger guns and laughing like, wow.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:55.039)
I feel like if it wasn't Alex Jones and it wasn't in a courtroom, I could kind of dig
Unknown Speaker (00:34:00.680)
that.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:01.680)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:02.680)
No, no, no.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:03.680)
Same.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:04.680)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:05.680)
I wouldn't, I would have appreciated it more if he had done that to the judge, but I think
Unknown Speaker (00:34:07.079)
that would have gotten him a charge.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:08.480)
Now let me sink.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:09.480)
Now watch me sink this three.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:11.039)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:12.039)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:13.039)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:14.039)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:15.039)
I, I, from what I understand from what you were saying that there was a bit in the, um,
Unknown Speaker (00:34:20.159)
a bit of things that you could see in the feed because they didn't realize that the
Unknown Speaker (00:34:24.119)
mics were still on because you could hear half of what they were talking about.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:28.199)
Hopefully not anything like important strategy wise.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:30.639)
Uh, I, I mean there were some things where if you really dug in and like tried to catch,
Unknown Speaker (00:34:37.519)
cause you could hear just like little bits and pieces of sentences and there, there were
Unknown Speaker (00:34:41.480)
some things where, where I really did think that I don't think they want this to be public.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:47.119)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:48.119)
I don't think they want this on the stream.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:49.119)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:50.119)
Um, well bad news.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:51.119)
We'll see.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:52.119)
But, but I think there is a, a transitory feel about that too because you're not allowed
Unknown Speaker (00:34:56.900)
to record, uh, any of that stuff, which is why we'll never have clips of the court hearings
Unknown Speaker (00:35:02.360)
or anything.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:03.360)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:04.360)
Um, but yeah, I, I, I, I, it's one in the morning now, uh, because I, I was, uh, I,
Unknown Speaker (00:35:11.440)
sort of ball parking it when I said midnight.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:15.239)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:16.239)
Um, we have to, uh, get to the courthouse tomorrow morning and I'm excited about that.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:20.760)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:21.760)
Cause there's gonna be more witnesses and I think day three is going to be, you know,
Unknown Speaker (00:35:25.960)
more interesting.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:27.159)
And I think that, um, Alex probably won't be there.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:30.519)
And I think that'll create less of a like severe discomfort.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:34.639)
Well, the judge and, uh, the lawyers were, were very, the judge was very clear that Rob
Unknown Speaker (00:35:40.559)
Dew is supposed to be there tomorrow.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:42.599)
Well, like he is supposed to be there.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:45.440)
We will see if they do.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:46.440)
We will see.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:47.440)
We'll see if they do the Dew.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:48.440)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:49.440)
We will see if the Dew does you.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:50.440)
Um, if so, I hope he's wearing his Kangol hat.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:53.880)
Um, yeah, I, I, I, I, I wonder how tall he is in person.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:58.800)
I wonder if the room changes when Dew walks in.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:01.960)
What if Dew is like, whoa, you don't, Dew's here.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:05.280)
You don't know it, but he has like just a, just a animal magnetism.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:09.480)
Like everybody's like, holy shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:12.159)
Watch out.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:13.159)
This is like a young Bill Clinton walking into the room.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:15.519)
He can just put his eyes on you and you feel special.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:18.039)
Rob Dew just breaks out of sex, starts wailing on it.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:21.360)
Um, yeah, so I think that'll be interesting and hopefully, uh, you can get this audio
Unknown Speaker (00:36:25.559)
fixed because I would, I would like to be able to play some clips.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:29.760)
We're going to do our best.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:30.760)
I don't feel like we're at our strongest when we're just relaying things, you know what
Unknown Speaker (00:36:36.119)
I mean?
Unknown Speaker (00:36:37.119)
We're, we're having fun.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:38.539)
We are less practiced at just relaying things.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:41.820)
And so I think it feels a little bit different, uh, since, but I mean, which is not to say
Unknown Speaker (00:36:46.360)
that clips are a, are any sort of crutch or necessity so much as it is, we're just not
Unknown Speaker (00:36:51.400)
practiced at this.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:52.400)
700 episodes in, you know, we kind of have a, have a rhythm of some things that we're
Unknown Speaker (00:36:57.400)
used to and I think the audience has become accustomed to.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:00.280)
I agree.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:01.280)
Um, and they'll be back.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:02.800)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:03.800)
But, uh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:04.800)
You have any, any other thoughts about the experience thus far?
Unknown Speaker (00:37:07.579)
I will tell, I will tell one story, uh, that, uh, when Alex walked into the courtroom and
Unknown Speaker (00:37:13.739)
his security detail followed him, uh, two of them went and stood at the back of the
Unknown Speaker (00:37:19.000)
room right next to me where I was sitting in the, what I will call a pew.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:23.519)
It is a pew.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:24.880)
Yeah, that's what it is.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:26.880)
And I looked over and I saw their, their earpieces and I was like, Oh my God, are you guys Alex's
Unknown Speaker (00:37:32.559)
security detail?
Unknown Speaker (00:37:33.559)
Do you want to sit next to me?
Unknown Speaker (00:37:35.300)
They did not respond and then went and sat over on the other side and just started talking
Unknown Speaker (00:37:39.920)
amongst themselves.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:40.920)
And every now and again, looking back at me like I was a threat of some sort.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:44.039)
You texted me very scared.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:45.920)
I was not happy about why you were sweating so early in the morning.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:49.480)
My extreme anxiety is already kicked in because I'm in a courthouse where I'm not supposed
Unknown Speaker (00:37:53.280)
to be unless I'm going to go to jail.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:55.320)
That's the way I think of it.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:56.320)
You know, that's usually why people are there.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:59.159)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:00.159)
So in my head, I was already going to be accidentally convicted of Alex's crimes.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:05.800)
And then I've got two former Blackwater motherfuckers.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:09.679)
Like I think only one of them is former Blackwater, but the, that is fun.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:16.000)
Like that idea that you're like, man, if I screw up, this is all going to be about me.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:22.920)
This is what I'm trying to explain about extreme anxiety.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:25.280)
This was an elaborate trap to jam me up.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:29.000)
It is nice to think that I'm, oh Jordan, you're so ridiculous, but it's not me.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:35.199)
I'm not thinking that now.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:36.960)
It's the sweet, sweet intersection of narcissism and anxiety.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:41.920)
That's that.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:42.920)
Oh man, thy name is Jordan.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:46.280)
So we got a lot to enjoy over the coming days and week.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:54.760)
There will be episodes probably more regularly than normal, but also I don't want to, it
Unknown Speaker (00:39:02.400)
all depends on how good you are at getting texts out.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:04.360)
Yeah, I know.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:05.360)
Honestly.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:06.360)
Isn't that the issue?
Unknown Speaker (00:39:07.360)
That is the issue.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:08.360)
It's coming down to me.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:09.639)
So hopefully I will, for once in my life, step up to the plate.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:13.679)
I certainly hope you're not like Casey.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:17.079)
He struck out.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:18.079)
Yes, I understand.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:19.079)
The whole town, very sad.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:20.280)
Oof, brutal.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:21.280)
But we have Glenn Greenwald and Alex Jones doing the Q and A.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:24.280)
Oh yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:25.280)
We got that coming up.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:26.280)
Oh yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:27.280)
We got Alex's War, the documentary about Alex coming up.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:29.079)
You got it.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:30.079)
We got some, probably going to have some chats with some folks who are here.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:33.960)
There's some folks here.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:34.960)
Why not talk to them?
Unknown Speaker (00:39:35.960)
Uh huh.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:36.960)
Maybe I'll find Rob Do tomorrow and be drawn in by his charisma, get a job at Info Wars.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:42.280)
Could happen.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:43.280)
Um.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:44.280)
You'll sit right next to Alex and you'll keep him from getting sued again.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:46.960)
That's your job is just to bite him whenever he says something scary.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:51.719)
I feel like from a monetary perspective that might be worth it for him.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:55.519)
That might be worth several hundreds of millions of dollars depending on the judgment in the
Unknown Speaker (00:39:59.760)
case.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:00.760)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:01.760)
My price is not cheap.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:02.760)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:03.760)
Because he doesn't look like someone who you want to bite.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:05.280)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:06.280)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:07.280)
Not for free anyways.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:08.280)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:09.280)
So Jordan, I guess we'll be back.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:11.519)
But until then, we have a website.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:13.280)
Indeed we do.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:14.280)

Unknown Speaker (00:40:15.280)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:16.280)

Unknown Speaker (00:40:17.280)
We are on Twitter.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:18.280)

I'm Leo.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:22.280)
I'm Leo.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:23.280)
I'm DZXClark.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:24.280)
I am right behind Alex.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:25.280)
I'm standing right there.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:26.280)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:27.280)
Don't turn around.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:28.280)
Andy in Kansas.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:29.280)
You're on the air.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:30.280)
Thanks for holding.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:31.280)
Hello Alex.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:32.280)
I'm a first time caller.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:33.280)
I'm a huge fan.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:34.280)
I love your work.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:35.280)
You're so brilliant.
