Hello, Alex.

I'm a first-time caller.

I'm a huge fan.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:50.359)
I love your work.

Unknown Speaker (00:00:53.359)
I love you.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:58.359)
Hey, everybody.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:59.359)
Welcome back to Knowledgefight.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:00.359)
I'm Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:01.359)
I'm Jordan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:02.359)
We're a couple dudes.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:03.359)
I'd like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene, and talk a little bit about Alex
Unknown Speaker (00:01:05.920)
Jones.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:06.920)
Oh, indeed we are.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:07.920)
Dan?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:08.920)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:09.920)
Dan?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:10.920)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:11.920)
Quick question for you.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:12.920)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:13.920)
What's your bright spot today?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:14.920)
My bright spot today, Jordan, is giving up for about...
Unknown Speaker (00:01:17.079)
So I've been watching the new season of Survivor as it goes, and I have been frustrated over
Unknown Speaker (00:01:26.920)
the course of watching all of the seasons about how far it's come from its original
Unknown Speaker (00:01:32.560)
premise to how complicated the rules are.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:36.760)
If I were to try and explain to you how to play Survivor now, I have no idea how I would...
Unknown Speaker (00:01:42.079)
It would take hours of me being like, okay, so now here's the thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:45.879)
There's a hidden immunity idol, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:48.159)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:49.159)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:50.159)
Fine.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:51.159)
Put that aside for now.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:52.159)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:53.159)
Because there's also a hidden immunity idol blocker that someone can play.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:54.159)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:55.159)
That's not...
Unknown Speaker (00:01:56.159)
This season...
Unknown Speaker (00:01:57.159)
You take that blocker and you shove it up your ass.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:58.159)
And this season, they also introduced a new advantage called the knowledge is power advantage.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:02.519)
What the fuck is the knowledge is power advantage?
Unknown Speaker (00:02:04.920)
If you have this piece of paper, this advantage, at tribal council, you can ask one person,
Unknown Speaker (00:02:12.159)
one question, and it can be either, do you have an advantage or do you have an idol?
Unknown Speaker (00:02:16.479)
And if they do, they have to give it to you, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:02:20.840)
Fucking ridiculous.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:22.020)
This is turning into one of those, like, what is it?
Unknown Speaker (00:02:24.400)
Do you remember those murder games that you would play at a youth group where everybody
Unknown Speaker (00:02:27.960)
would hide for a while and one person was the bad guy, and then you met up at the end
Unknown Speaker (00:02:31.560)
and you gotta be like, oh, this person was the...
Unknown Speaker (00:02:33.520)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:34.520)
But the rules are a maze.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:35.520)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:36.520)
On their...
Unknown Speaker (00:02:37.520)
It's...
Unknown Speaker (00:02:38.520)
I...
Unknown Speaker (00:02:39.520)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:40.520)
It's...
Unknown Speaker (00:02:41.520)
But I was watching...
Unknown Speaker (00:02:42.520)
I guess that's why Squid Games is so attractive to people now, you know?
Unknown Speaker (00:02:44.919)
It's like, they're very simple rules.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:47.000)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:48.000)
Do kids game or you die?
Unknown Speaker (00:02:49.560)
Yes, exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:50.560)
It's clear.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:51.560)
It's very simple.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:52.560)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:53.560)
And I think it was in season one, too, of Survivor.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:55.840)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:56.840)
Like, it was a game where it's like, all right, if I can find some food...
Unknown Speaker (00:02:59.439)
Survive?
Unknown Speaker (00:03:00.439)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:01.439)
What is the problem?
Unknown Speaker (00:03:02.439)
Find some food and see if you have enough calories in you to run this foot race later.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:05.120)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:06.120)
And if you don't, you're gonna vote it out.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:07.120)
You're gonna lose.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:08.120)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:09.120)
Goodbye.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:10.120)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:11.120)
There was a lot more just like, okay, it's a game.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:12.400)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:13.400)
Now, I have no fucking idea.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:15.520)
So last night's episode was the second part of a two-parter, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:03:19.919)
Uh-huh.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:20.919)
So they were supposed to be merging the tribes, but instead of doing that, there was another
Unknown Speaker (00:03:26.879)
twist.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:27.879)
And that was that they split into two tribes and half of them won immunity, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:03:34.000)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:35.000)
But there was an uneven number in the two tribes, so the person who was left over got
Unknown Speaker (00:03:39.639)
sent to the fucking exile island, where Jeff Probst showed up on a bus.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:44.360)
Fine.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:45.360)
On a what?
Unknown Speaker (00:03:46.360)
Or not on a bus.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:47.360)
You can't show up on a bus.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:48.360)
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:49.360)
A boat.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:50.360)
He got on the bus.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:51.360)
That'd be great.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:52.360)
So he showed up on a boat with an hourglass.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:54.360)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:55.360)
Right?
Unknown Speaker (00:03:56.360)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:57.360)
And a hammer.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:58.360)
If you don't break all of your fingers by the time the sand has gone through this hourglass,
Unknown Speaker (00:04:07.319)
you will be dead.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:08.400)
I said-
Unknown Speaker (00:04:09.400)
This is saw.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:10.400)
I said, if I got that, I would chase Probst off the island with a hammer.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:14.039)
No, totally.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:15.039)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:16.040)
So the thing is that she had to decide whether or not to go back in time.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:19.600)
If she decided to break the hourglass, then the other half of the group who had lost the
Unknown Speaker (00:04:27.560)
challenge would get immunity, and the other people would be vulnerable to be voted out.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:32.240)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:33.240)
So she Sophie's choiced it.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:35.160)
I was just sitting there like, why are we doing this?
Unknown Speaker (00:04:37.399)
Oh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:38.399)
Drama.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:39.399)
Drama, Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:40.399)
But it wasn't more dramatic than the game would have been normally.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:45.519)
It's still, the stakes are the same.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:47.920)
It's just confusing people.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:50.000)
I do appreciate.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:51.000)
They're like, okay, well, here's the thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:54.120)
We're going to exile her and we're going to say, pick one or the other.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:57.240)
That's immunity.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:58.240)
It's a very simple explanation.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:00.839)
How do we kind of like survivor that up a bit?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:03.839)
You know?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:04.839)
Come on, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:05.839)
Hourglass.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:06.839)
Thinking wizards.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:07.839)
Hourglass.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:08.839)
Let's go for it.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:09.839)
Hammer.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:10.839)
Let's destroy the very embodiment of time.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:13.199)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:14.199)
I think afterwards, after the episode, I was reflecting a little bit and I think I give
Unknown Speaker (00:05:19.759)
up.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:20.759)
I mean, not on the show, but I like, I give up on caring.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:23.279)
Trying to understand.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:24.279)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:25.279)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:26.279)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:27.279)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:28.279)
Watching this show from now on will be an experience.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:29.279)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:30.279)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:31.279)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:32.279)
It's going to happen to me.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:33.279)
Do you, and I don't know if you recall this directly, but do you remember the end of 1984?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:39.360)
The year I was born?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:41.040)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:42.040)
Oh.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:43.040)
The book.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:44.040)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:45.040)
You remember how he is beaten down so much that he just loves the state?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:48.680)
Mm-hmm.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:49.680)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:50.680)
But I'm not saying I love it.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:51.680)
I'm saying I'm putting up with it and I accept it.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:55.079)
Good.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:56.079)
What about you?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:57.079)
What's your bright spot?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:58.079)
My bright spot, Dan, is yoga.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:01.439)
Been doing some yoga.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:02.439)
You're texting me some things about pain.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:04.360)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:05.360)
It hurts a lot.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:06.360)
It was my second time doing it ever last night and I got in trouble because I was being verbally
Unknown Speaker (00:06:13.600)
corrected on something that I was doing wrong or whatever.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:16.680)
And it threw me, just hearing the voice threw me so much that I just fell and began laughing
Unknown Speaker (00:06:22.040)
and just being like, I didn't hear a word you said, you know, like how I would be.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:26.639)
Laughing is yoga.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:27.920)
See, no.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:28.920)
Oh.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:29.920)
According to the people that are in yoga now or whatever, you're supposed to be all quiet
Unknown Speaker (00:06:34.959)
and shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:35.959)
It's bullshit.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:36.959)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:37.959)
But anyways, it's fun to be reprimanded in a new place for being loud and laughing too
Unknown Speaker (00:06:41.800)
much.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:42.800)
I'm going to hit every possible activity where people can be angry at me for being loud and
Unknown Speaker (00:06:49.399)
laughing too much.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:50.399)
Well, you kind of got to take the rough with the smooth.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:51.720)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:52.720)
I mean, because basically we've created this podcast and people enjoy it somewhat because
Unknown Speaker (00:06:58.160)
you're loud.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:59.160)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:00.160)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:01.160)
No, no, no.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:02.160)
It's a real negative feedback loop.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:03.160)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:04.160)
And then unfortunately in other settings like yoga.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:05.160)
It's very unfortunate.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:06.439)
Knife cuts the other direction.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:07.759)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:08.759)
Well, I'm glad I look forward to you showing up one day to do the podcast and being like,
Unknown Speaker (00:07:13.279)
look what I can do and then putting your leg behind your head.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:15.639)
No, that won't happen.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:16.639)
Or something.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:17.639)
Some weird feat of flexibility.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:19.199)
I've already made this clear to my partner.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:21.560)
I am going to defeat yoga and then never do it again.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:25.199)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:26.199)
I'm going to be good at it.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:27.199)
And then once I am, once I feel like I'm confident, I will say this is dumb and quit forever.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:31.879)
I wish you well.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:32.879)
Thank you.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:33.879)
So Jordan, today we are going back to the past.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:35.720)
Yes, sir.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:36.720)
We're talking about June 24th and 25th, 2003.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:40.120)
And the reason for that is because I don't, I didn't know if we were going to have enough
Unknown Speaker (00:07:46.600)
lead time to do the episode that I wanted to do for Friday, for this episode.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:52.279)
And that is, I realized that Alex is going to be talking almost exclusively about Tucker's
Unknown Speaker (00:07:57.680)
Patriot Purge documentary.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:00.240)
And people have gotten in touch and been like, please do an episode about Patriot Purge.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:04.879)
It does seem like that is our eventual end.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:08.040)
And I've been resistant to do episodes about Tucker Carlson for a number of reasons.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:13.399)
One, I don't want to step on the toes of there's another podcast that does Tucker.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:17.399)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:18.399)
And I don't want to, I don't want to, you know, breach other people's intellectual property.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:21.480)
Hey, can't do it.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:22.480)
Can't do it.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:23.480)
Every time any other podcast has talked about Alex Jones, we, I have obviously been very
Unknown Speaker (00:08:27.399)
furious.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:28.399)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:29.399)
And the other reason too, is that I just don't believe that Tucker Carlson is a sincere actor
Unknown Speaker (00:08:33.360)
and I don't think that he interests me in the same way as Alex Jones.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:38.519)
I don't want to talk about any rich pricks, you know?
Unknown Speaker (00:08:42.320)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:43.320)
I mean like, but that kind of childhood rich prick, you know, that kind of just like, he's
Unknown Speaker (00:08:47.600)
an, I take, he's a take your ball and go home kid and you're just, I don't want to deal
Unknown Speaker (00:08:51.360)
with it.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:52.360)
I've lived long enough to watch his various incarnations and I don't find him to be like
Unknown Speaker (00:08:58.960)
a person with a, with a, with a solid ground underneath his feet.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:03.519)
Let's say.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:04.519)
Integrity or.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:05.519)
Well, but integrity sounds positive and like to the, no, that's what I'm saying.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:10.200)
He doesn't have any.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:11.200)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:12.200)
But to the extent that Alex Jones has integrity, it's that like he, he's done, that's a good
Unknown Speaker (00:09:16.039)
point.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:17.039)
This shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:18.039)
That is a good point.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:19.039)
There's different, you know, different shades of some things throughout Alex's career, but
Unknown Speaker (00:09:22.720)
there's what you could call it a coherent through line.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:26.279)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:27.279)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:28.279)
Like talker or Glenn Beck.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:29.600)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:30.600)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:31.600)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:32.600)
And that's why those people don't, don't interest me as much, but I think that the intersection
Unknown Speaker (00:09:35.639)
is so high here that we'll probably have to do something about Patriot purge.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:42.080)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:43.080)
Uh, and Alex was apparently did background work on it.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:45.879)
So sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:46.879)
Great.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:47.879)
It's kind of now.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:48.879)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:49.879)
Um, so our Canon, so I wanted to do an episode about that, but I realized we probably wouldn't
Unknown Speaker (00:09:54.519)
have enough lead time by the time it was all out and everything before this episode.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:59.220)
So that will be on Monday.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:00.559)
We'll talk about that on Monday.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:02.179)
And for now we're back in the past, uh, enjoying the smooth breeze of 2003, 14 things, which
Unknown Speaker (00:10:11.539)
is don't want you.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:12.799)
That was 2002.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:13.799)
Oh, that was a little bit further back there.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:16.000)
My bad.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:17.000)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:18.000)
Um, so we'll get down to business on this Jordan, but before we do, let's take a little
Unknown Speaker (00:10:20.000)
moment to say hello to some new walks.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:22.000)
Oh, that's a great idea.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:23.000)
So first, uh, Jordan's Africaner accent in the, uh, in episode one Oh four sounds like
Unknown Speaker (00:10:28.519)
Kiwi, Richard Nixon.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:29.960)
Thank you so much.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:30.960)
You are now policy wonk.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:31.960)
I'm a policy wonk.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:33.919)
Now I kind of, I'm hearing Kiwi Nixon in my head, but I don't know how to make it come
Unknown Speaker (00:10:38.120)
out of my mouth.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:39.120)
If I could God, I could do it.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:40.360)
Well, just go back to one Oh four.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:41.840)
I'm working on it.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:42.840)
It's like Selene's adopted pet human Carlton.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:44.919)
Thank you so much.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:45.919)
You are now policy wonk.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:46.919)
I'm a policy wonk.

He was the God of thunder, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:11:02.919)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:03.919)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:04.919)
He was the God of stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:05.919)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:06.919)
Thanks.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:07.919)

Say hello to Selene for me.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:10.919)
I will.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:11.919)
Meow.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:12.919)
There we go.

You are now a policy wonk.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:24.919)
Thank you so much.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:25.919)
You are now a policy wonk.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:26.919)
But you are now a policy wonk.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:27.919)
You are now a policy wonk.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:28.919)
Oh, I'm probably mispronouncing it.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:29.919)
You are now a policy wonk.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:30.919)
I'm a policy wonk.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:31.919)
I'm a policy wonk.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:32.919)
I wonder if there's a liver pueblian candidate.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:35.919)
Uh, what?
Unknown Speaker (00:11:36.919)
Liver pueblian?
Unknown Speaker (00:11:37.919)
Oh boy.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:38.919)
Oh boy.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:39.919)
Isn't that lily pud?
Unknown Speaker (00:11:40.919)
Liliputian.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:41.919)
Yeah, exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:42.919)
That's what we should be going for.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:43.919)
Oh, Gulliver's Travels, that evil, evil book.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:44.919)
No one will ever suspect the tiny man of becoming president.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:48.279)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:49.279)
we are back in the past and I was like oh wait we have figured out what we were
Unknown Speaker (00:11:53.759)
looking for in the past we know that Alex does think he's fighting the devil
Unknown Speaker (00:11:57.919)
literal devil yeah and so it's like well I still want to keep going in the past I
Unknown Speaker (00:12:01.940)
still enjoy this it's weird and so my initial justification was let's see what
Unknown Speaker (00:12:07.360)
he thinks more about Harry Potter this is right right right that is fun
Unknown Speaker (00:12:10.919)
listening over this episode I realized what our new mission is and so we'll get
Unknown Speaker (00:12:14.879)
to that in the middle of this episode but before we do here's an out of
Unknown Speaker (00:12:18.399)
context drop that I just think is kind of cute let's talk to Barney and
Unknown Speaker (00:12:22.279)
Marilyn go ahead Barney you're on the air okay Barney's not there I don't know
Unknown Speaker (00:12:35.799)
why there's something fun yes I really I don't know why but that made me laugh so
Unknown Speaker (00:12:42.039)
hard Barney's I'm so excited I enjoyed that also he's got that Barney Fife kind
Unknown Speaker (00:12:49.519)
of tone to him that's that's perfect so we start here on the 24th and Alex gets
Unknown Speaker (00:12:55.240)
into talking about how the feds they send anthrax around oh sure and we've
Unknown Speaker (00:13:01.279)
talked a bit about the anthrax letters that were sent to me in the wake of 911
Unknown Speaker (00:13:06.240)
right and you know we don't need to rehash that but there's a piece of this
Unknown Speaker (00:13:11.440)
narrative that I don't believe we've gotten into that I think is worth
Unknown Speaker (00:13:14.159)
exploring the feds have been caught mailing fake anthrax letters in a
Unknown Speaker (00:13:19.320)
congressional study that was done in 1999 remember all those powdered letters
Unknown Speaker (00:13:25.639)
that got mailed to businesses and private businesses and government
Unknown Speaker (00:13:29.019)
buildings and the feds then got lots of fear going and said oh we need more
Unknown Speaker (00:13:33.000)
federal funding and then it turned out the CIA actually sent some super
Unknown Speaker (00:13:38.159)
weaponized anthrax for real in 2001 and Bush and his cabinet were on Cipro the
Unknown Speaker (00:13:44.480)
anthrax fighting antibiotic months before month before anybody ever heard
Unknown Speaker (00:13:50.279)
of a case of it well they're just doing it again and and and Bush wants a six
Unknown Speaker (00:13:57.080)
plus billion dollar fund for forced inoculation not just smallpox but
Unknown Speaker (00:14:03.080)
anthrax shots oh they're so deadly so yeah we talked we talked a bit about the
Unknown Speaker (00:14:07.779)
you know the feds sending anthrax narrative but we didn't talk about the
Unknown Speaker (00:14:12.759)
angle of it that is this Bush administration folks being on Cipro
Unknown Speaker (00:14:17.940)
before the letters got sent out right right right which Alex uses this he
Unknown Speaker (00:14:22.360)
talks about it quite a bit it's a pretty consistent thing that he uses as proof
Unknown Speaker (00:14:26.080)
that they had advanced knowledge that anthrax was going to be sent right
Unknown Speaker (00:14:29.519)
right okay okay so here's what happened with this completely insane lawyer Larry
Unknown Speaker (00:14:34.840)
Clayman who is still with Judicial Watch at this point great he in 2002 he sued
Unknown Speaker (00:14:40.440)
the Bush administration for quote access to documents about last fall's anthrax
Unknown Speaker (00:14:44.519)
attacks asserting that top officials may have known that the attacks were coming
Unknown Speaker (00:14:48.799)
so it's based on the fact that you know there had been information that had come
Unknown Speaker (00:14:53.159)
out that people were on Cipro he was also suing them to get a copier back
Unknown Speaker (00:14:56.559)
that administration had taken from him several years ago and he wanted to know
Unknown Speaker (00:15:00.919)
if Bush ever called him an asshole so Cipro is an antibiotic that can be used
Unknown Speaker (00:15:06.639)
as a treatment for someone who's exposed to anthrax but it's not really the kind
Unknown Speaker (00:15:10.639)
of treatment you would want for inhaled anthrax which is what the large concerns
Unknown Speaker (00:15:14.559)
would be with the anthrax in these letters in fact Clayman's clients in the
Unknown Speaker (00:15:19.399)
suit were workers at a Washington Post Office two employees at the facility
Unknown Speaker (00:15:23.679)
where they worked had handled the anthrax letters and they had died
Unknown Speaker (00:15:26.759)
because they inhaled anthrax Jesus which again that's that's why you're really
Unknown Speaker (00:15:30.960)
gonna be concerned about the situation and not so much I mean you could get it
Unknown Speaker (00:15:36.080)
if you have a cut on your hand you could have a different kind of exposure sure
Unknown Speaker (00:15:39.120)
sure sure sure but the death kind is the one you don't want to get sure and the
Unknown Speaker (00:15:43.799)
issue is that it wasn't until after this point after September 11th that the
Unknown Speaker (00:15:49.240)
scientific community they made breakthroughs in terms of anti-toxin
Unknown Speaker (00:15:53.440)
therapies which are really effective against inhaled anthrax like anthem and
Unknown Speaker (00:15:58.200)
Rex Raxibacumab did you just curse me I think I did so yeah Raxibacumab I prefer
Unknown Speaker (00:16:11.799)
anthem yeah you should stick with that one so at that time though after 9-11
Unknown Speaker (00:16:21.480)
these treatments weren't available and the only real option that was on the
Unknown Speaker (00:16:24.820)
table would have been antimicrobial agents and these antibiotics like Cipro
Unknown Speaker (00:16:29.519)
or doxycycline the risk that these members of the Bush administration would
Unknown Speaker (00:16:34.360)
have been taken by exposing themselves to anthrax even if they were on Cipro
Unknown Speaker (00:16:38.360)
would be nuts yeah it's a bizarre conspiracy do you know what's the
Unknown Speaker (00:16:42.980)
weirdest part about this is something that people never talk about those
Unknown Speaker (00:16:45.919)
anthrax letters is they were really well written sure like collectors like that
Unknown Speaker (00:16:50.639)
like letters to a young man to a young poet by Ranier Rilke you know like it's
Unknown Speaker (00:16:55.360)
that kind of calligraphy oh it's amazing yeah yeah so there actually is a vaccine
Unknown Speaker (00:17:00.159)
against anthrax called bio thrax if the folks in the government really wanted
Unknown Speaker (00:17:04.319)
to protect themselves from a false flag anthrax attack that's almost certainly
Unknown Speaker (00:17:07.759)
what they would have used they would well yeah that would make sense so here
Unknown Speaker (00:17:11.119)
is actually what happened in the real world okay on September 11th right after
Unknown Speaker (00:17:15.440)
the attacks George W Bush and many members of his staff were on board Air
Unknown Speaker (00:17:19.000)
Force One one of the people on the plane was White House physician colonel dr.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:23.160)
Richard tub tub was understandably freaked out and he decided to make a
Unknown Speaker (00:17:27.160)
decision just in case the worst-case scenario came true from an interview
Unknown Speaker (00:17:31.359)
with tub quote the thing at that moment I was most worried about was a biologic
Unknown Speaker (00:17:36.400)
attack in the unlikely but high-risk scenario I thought there was little harm
Unknown Speaker (00:17:41.000)
to be prophylaxing the staff with antibiotics it seemed like almost
Unknown Speaker (00:17:45.799)
science fiction I gave everyone on the plane a week of Cipro I hope by the time
Unknown Speaker (00:17:50.480)
they ran out we'd have figured out the fog of war and knew whether we needed to
Unknown Speaker (00:17:55.039)
continue measures right an antibiotic like Cipro wouldn't necessarily be super
Unknown Speaker (00:18:00.160)
effective at preventing you from being harmed by anthrax but you have a better
Unknown Speaker (00:18:03.960)
chance the sooner to right after the exposure you start taking it the reason
Unknown Speaker (00:18:09.079)
that some of the staff were given Cipro is because after 9-11 the White House
Unknown Speaker (00:18:12.400)
doctor wanted to cover his bases because if there had been a biologic attack and
Unknown Speaker (00:18:16.680)
he'd wanted to start the antibiotics because if he waited you couldn't get
Unknown Speaker (00:18:21.279)
that time back sure sure sure I gotcha yeah yeah this is an incredibly stupid
Unknown Speaker (00:18:25.559)
conspiracy theory because it fails to take into account the very clear
Unknown Speaker (00:18:28.759)
explanation for why someone working in the White House might have been given
Unknown Speaker (00:18:32.259)
Cipro around that time yeah there was a fear on 9-11 that they might have
Unknown Speaker (00:18:35.980)
already been exposed right also you see here how Alex is using this story to
Unknown Speaker (00:18:40.880)
drum up fears about forced vaccination that's because he always does that and
Unknown Speaker (00:18:45.759)
it never actually ends up happening when you go back and you listen to him be
Unknown Speaker (00:18:49.240)
wrong about this shit this specific shit over and over again he's being wrong so
Unknown Speaker (00:18:54.319)
confidently you should really use that to inform how you hear him talking about
Unknown Speaker (00:18:58.079)
COVID in the present day right right just another one of these yeah it's the
Unknown Speaker (00:19:02.579)
same thing whether it's real or not outside whether there's a deadly virus
Unknown Speaker (00:19:06.819)
or not vaccines are killing people or whatever yeah and it's interesting the
Unknown Speaker (00:19:11.200)
way you can hear him tell this story because he's like talking about why
Unknown Speaker (00:19:14.720)
would Bush administration people on Cipro months before right the the
Unknown Speaker (00:19:19.559)
anthrax letters and second it wasn't months before and there was a reason
Unknown Speaker (00:19:23.740)
because it was on 9-11 yeah yeah you know like it's it's suspicious the way
Unknown Speaker (00:19:28.559)
he or ticks articulates it but it's not actually suspicious no no no it's very
Unknown Speaker (00:19:33.200)
reasonable yeah yeah so Alex has a big headline for the day this is one of his
Unknown Speaker (00:19:38.440)
varsity stories and it's about the Houston chief of police coming out and
Unknown Speaker (00:19:44.960)
saying there's no justice a little bit of a stretch okay okay chief of police
Unknown Speaker (00:19:52.519)
Houston Texas has gone public saying that you cannot get a fair trial in
Unknown Speaker (00:19:59.839)
Houston that things are hopelessly corrupt at the crime lab publicly is in
Unknown Speaker (00:20:06.160)
the job of operating a criminal syndicate framing everyone not stories
Unknown Speaker (00:20:13.359)
coming up that's quite quite a quote from the Houston police I mean I've
Unknown Speaker (00:20:17.240)
never heard a police chief go that far or that hard yeah the whole system is
Unknown Speaker (00:20:24.859)
out of order you might be editorializing a little bit so what had happened is
Unknown Speaker (00:20:32.660)
that there had been some concerns about the validity of the results that were
Unknown Speaker (00:20:35.720)
coming out of the DNA crime lab in Houston after at least one person was
Unknown Speaker (00:20:39.640)
found to have been wrongly convicted based on inaccurate results from that
Unknown Speaker (00:20:42.960)
lab right this led to an audit of the lab and the results were not good it
Unknown Speaker (00:20:47.640)
turned out that the lab had a leaky roof that they've been trying to get funds to
Unknown Speaker (00:20:51.160)
fix sorry what since 1995 I'm sorry what did you just say to me yeah they had a
Unknown Speaker (00:20:55.880)
bad leaky roof so you're telling me that the fucking thin line between conviction
Unknown Speaker (00:21:01.440)
for 25 to life and exoneration is a leaky roof well that's not the only
Unknown Speaker (00:21:08.200)
issue but that was that was indicative of the troubles and the misallocation
Unknown Speaker (00:21:12.319)
not being able to allocate funds right because I think one of the bigger issues
Unknown Speaker (00:21:16.880)
is there were only two analysts working in the lab which is way too few for a
Unknown Speaker (00:21:20.839)
city as huge as Houston wow that's great yeah that's real great stuff yeah the
Unknown Speaker (00:21:25.599)
audit not only looked at the state of affairs at the lab it also reviewed
Unknown Speaker (00:21:29.200)
historical cases to identify potential flaws with evidence that came out of the
Unknown Speaker (00:21:32.920)
lab the lab was closed in December 2002 and going back to the early 1990s the
Unknown Speaker (00:21:38.480)
audit found quote major issues in 43 out of 135 cases that they looked at that's
Unknown Speaker (00:21:45.279)
too many definitely and it also included four death penalty cases that's a
Unknown Speaker (00:21:51.079)
problem oh fuck me so many of the labs potentially flawed pieces of work had
Unknown Speaker (00:21:56.619)
ultimately been confirmed by independent testing so a number of them the errors
Unknown Speaker (00:22:01.160)
that they made that were major issues sure some of them were not about the
Unknown Speaker (00:22:06.000)
accuracy of the results right just the process and recommendation and stuff
Unknown Speaker (00:22:10.359)
like that after sending this to the varsity team they actually got it right
Unknown Speaker (00:22:13.680)
and they confirmed that surprise we also got it right but fuck if we knew we were
Unknown Speaker (00:22:17.319)
going to we might have in it unreliably got it right right all right but
Unknown Speaker (00:22:23.279)
unfortunately there was that one definitive case where they were
Unknown Speaker (00:22:27.640)
responsible for this wrongful conviction and also this audit uncovered a total of
Unknown Speaker (00:22:32.359)
52 cases that they had on their books that hadn't been confirmed by outside
Unknown Speaker (00:22:37.079)
testing and doing so at that point would likely be impossible right and thus quote
Unknown Speaker (00:22:41.799)
the possibility of other wrongful convictions resulting from DNA analysis
Unknown Speaker (00:22:45.559)
during this era cannot be dismissed yeah it's a big big problem yeah a lot of the
Unknown Speaker (00:22:51.559)
other areas of the Houston Police Department labs were found to actually
Unknown Speaker (00:22:54.240)
be pretty solid in the audit the areas for toxicology trace evidence and
Unknown Speaker (00:22:58.680)
firearm testing did a good job but that DNA part was a serious serious problem
Unknown Speaker (00:23:03.720)
yeah you know the thing that everybody uses to convict people and says is
Unknown Speaker (00:23:09.000)
smoking gun evidence you know that that that small part of the the process you
Unknown Speaker (00:23:14.119)
know DNA you know the small part the Houston Police Department suspended the
Unknown Speaker (00:23:17.880)
lab and internal affairs reviewed any criminal and administrative violations
Unknown Speaker (00:23:21.680)
that could have been made in the running of the lab and this resulted in a fair
Unknown Speaker (00:23:24.599)
amount of house cleaning like a bunch of people resigned the DA opened two grand
Unknown Speaker (00:23:28.759)
juries and possible criminal charges for the labs operation but neither ended up
Unknown Speaker (00:23:32.480)
returning any indictment sure sure sure at the point that Alex is on air talking
Unknown Speaker (00:23:36.599)
about this there's a massive review going on into the errors that have been
Unknown Speaker (00:23:39.960)
made in the past but the lab was not still operating and I'm certain that the
Unknown Speaker (00:23:44.839)
police chief Clarence Bradford said nothing really close to what Alex's is
Unknown Speaker (00:23:49.279)
alleging I do like the idea of a police chief just snapping and just being like
Unknown Speaker (00:23:55.720)
you know what fuck it I'm gonna tell everybody everything this this blue wall
Unknown Speaker (00:23:59.559)
of silence I'm fucking done with it that motherfucker killed six people yesterday
Unknown Speaker (00:24:04.480)
I don't even know I did see some comments that he'd made about like
Unknown Speaker (00:24:09.039)
prosecutors wanting to win as opposed to seeking justice and I think some of that
Unknown Speaker (00:24:15.440)
might have been affected by the fact that he got in trouble with the law and
Unknown Speaker (00:24:22.279)
he had just had a case against him for like perjury sure well I mean who hasn't
Unknown Speaker (00:24:27.880)
perjured a little bit so when you have somebody who's being critical of the
Unknown Speaker (00:24:31.480)
justice system even though they're the chief of police right it's kind of
Unknown Speaker (00:24:34.819)
relevant that they had just had a brush with the law right yeah I don't know
Unknown Speaker (00:24:38.720)
that does tend to be a board anyway that lab shit is very serious like it's a
Unknown Speaker (00:24:42.519)
really it's a really serious story and the way Alex is covering it does a real
Unknown Speaker (00:24:45.920)
disservice to the reality so any of the hard work that people were doing within
Unknown Speaker (00:24:49.920)
the audit and you know the Innocence Project type organizations that we're
Unknown Speaker (00:24:55.079)
trying to make sure whatever information that could be gleaned from this could be
Unknown Speaker (00:24:59.119)
used to free people who had been wrongfully convicted no it's not
Unknown Speaker (00:25:02.440)
surprising whenever I mean a genre of true crime is railroaded and put in jail
Unknown Speaker (00:25:08.079)
unjustly you know like it's not like we have a small number of those
Unknown Speaker (00:25:12.119)
documentaries just floating around out there that shit is pumped out on the
Unknown Speaker (00:25:16.839)
regular for Netflix so yeah so Alex has a bit of a mistelling of this this
Unknown Speaker (00:25:23.079)
Houston crime lab story and I think again this is one of the points that I
Unknown Speaker (00:25:27.319)
really want to make is like this is a serious story and Alex turns it into a
Unknown Speaker (00:25:30.880)
joke by reporting it poorly the Houston crime lab has framed thousands publicly
Unknown Speaker (00:25:37.359)
and they think it's funny they plant DNA or makeup DNA results or plant hair or
Unknown Speaker (00:25:45.559)
fibers and it's just pandemic this is a disservice to actual reporting yeah and
Unknown Speaker (00:25:53.200)
the story like this requires actual reporting because it's it's a big big
Unknown Speaker (00:25:57.920)
deal police chief here we've never convicted a guilty man not once right
Unknown Speaker (00:26:03.559)
zero time we frame thousands of people everyone and we laugh about it at the
Unknown Speaker (00:26:09.960)
Christmas party that's what it's all for yeah I mean it's it's turning this into
Unknown Speaker (00:26:14.119)
a cartoon story absolutely yes yeah do anything about you just makes you mad
Unknown Speaker (00:26:19.559)
yeah it's to make you mad it's the villains from Captain Planet you're
Unknown Speaker (00:26:23.200)
fighting against it's a half rat man yeah okay fine sure so Alex he's worried
Unknown Speaker (00:26:28.039)
about crime naturally but there's no justice in Houston but Texas is great
Unknown Speaker (00:26:34.160)
because they allow you to have guns uh-huh Alex doesn't know how he would
Unknown Speaker (00:26:37.839)
live in a state where he couldn't protect himself in his home from the
Unknown Speaker (00:26:41.640)
roving gangs of crackhead or breaking into everybody's house I'm gonna throw
Unknown Speaker (00:26:45.400)
this out at you super easy so easy I have zero guns so now after that Alex
Unknown Speaker (00:26:52.160)
gets into talking about how in Texas I don't know if you know this I don't know
Unknown Speaker (00:26:56.839)
interesting phenomena okay when people break into cars in Texas specifically in
Unknown Speaker (00:27:02.839)
Texas in Texas okay what they do is they only break into cars that are parked on
Unknown Speaker (00:27:08.319)
the street like if it's outside your house that's on the street it'll break
Unknown Speaker (00:27:11.240)
into it right it's in the driveway they won't okay so we're operating on safe
Unknown Speaker (00:27:16.759)
zone rules traditional tag rules you know like I'm in the base got to explain
Unknown Speaker (00:27:21.799)
why in this clip that's good I can't imagine what it'd be like sleeping in my
Unknown Speaker (00:27:25.799)
house without firearms and in bands of crackheads and heroin heads running
Unknown Speaker (00:27:33.319)
around busting down doors raping and killing I mean they don't do that in
Unknown Speaker (00:27:40.079)
Texas because they know what happens they these crooks by the way are smart
Unknown Speaker (00:27:46.200)
in my neighborhood they've had a lot of cars getting broken into there has not
Unknown Speaker (00:27:52.400)
been one car broken into that I know of I've talked to all the neighbors and
Unknown Speaker (00:27:55.759)
that we've been robbed as well all of the neighbors not been one person who's
Unknown Speaker (00:27:59.880)
been robbed when the car is parked in the parking lot you park it on the
Unknown Speaker (00:28:03.279)
street and that's what happened to us they will come after you do you know why
Unknown Speaker (00:28:07.359)
because they know that Texans know that we can't kill them if they're robbing
Unknown Speaker (00:28:13.640)
our cars on the street but you come on my driveway I can kill you and I will by
Unknown Speaker (00:28:21.000)
the way if I ever I got cameras up and if I see somebody in my car I'm gonna go
Unknown Speaker (00:28:25.720)
out and I'm going to I don't know I don't want the trouble of killing them
Unknown Speaker (00:28:28.960)
I'll probably just tell them to get on the ground if they try something with a
Unknown Speaker (00:28:31.359)
weapon I probably shoot them and this was I don't really nice of you but plus
Unknown Speaker (00:28:36.559)
I don't really know if somebody just robbed my car needs to die but that is
Unknown Speaker (00:28:41.119)
legal and lawful and if you feel threatened in state law go ahead and do
Unknown Speaker (00:28:45.559)
it and I'll back you that's a strange sort of weird discussion with himself on
Unknown Speaker (00:28:51.480)
air yeah yeah to figure out the ethics of shooting someone for rifling through
Unknown Speaker (00:28:56.599)
your car it did have a little bit of a philosophy class kind of vibe to it
Unknown Speaker (00:29:01.339)
where he's going like okay so all right I do think it's right to protect my
Unknown Speaker (00:29:06.519)
self however is the value of the objects in the car worth a human life on the
Unknown Speaker (00:29:12.960)
other hand does that mean that there are any valuable objects that are worth a
Unknown Speaker (00:29:17.480)
human life should it be $30,000 is that what I should kill a man for I I was a
Unknown Speaker (00:29:23.079)
philosophy minor in college yeah and I can tell you that usually you'd explore
Unknown Speaker (00:29:28.559)
a little deeper than what Alex was doing this is not a good philosophy class very
Unknown Speaker (00:29:32.680)
superficial and you'll hear that he before he got to the point where it's
Unknown Speaker (00:29:36.720)
like I don't know if it's worth killing someone if they're robbing my car the
Unknown Speaker (00:29:39.480)
first thing he thought of was the hassle yeah yeah it is true that his biggest
Unknown Speaker (00:29:43.440)
problem was I'll have to go to court and I'll have to be like I didn't do it on
Unknown Speaker (00:29:47.680)
purpose I don't know if it's worth the trouble yeah yeah that's the that's the
Unknown Speaker (00:29:52.000)
real problem with killing people yeah it's just a whole fucking thing
Unknown Speaker (00:29:55.160)
afterwards but we know that Alex has killed a lot of people wow I mean he
Unknown Speaker (00:29:59.039)
hasn't killed nobody he's killed a lot of people that's how he knows how much
Unknown Speaker (00:30:04.839)
of a hassle it is he's stopped guts out people died slow that's true he's a sick
Unknown Speaker (00:30:10.920)
motherfucker likes to kill he is really fucked up so yeah he talks about some of
Unknown Speaker (00:30:16.920)
his stories of fighting here in this next clip sure which is really weird it's
Unknown Speaker (00:30:21.599)
really weird to hear him talk about stuff like this when we know that later
Unknown Speaker (00:30:25.000)
he'll tell these stories about how he killed people yeah it's real quaint back
Unknown Speaker (00:30:30.240)
in 2003 and Scotland the tagging of a child would be considered in cases where
Unknown Speaker (00:30:35.839)
the youngster had already broken an antisocial behavior order see it's now
Unknown Speaker (00:30:40.759)
antisocial behavior yelling cussing fist fighting kids have been seen wrestling I
Unknown Speaker (00:30:48.200)
mean who didn't that was never a big potty mouth but um we certainly would
Unknown Speaker (00:30:55.200)
would would would go play baseball after school in a field in the neighborhood
Unknown Speaker (00:31:00.920)
and and there were fistfights almost every couple weeks I wasn't always
Unknown Speaker (00:31:06.279)
involved in them but I mean you know fistfights did take place somebody hit
Unknown Speaker (00:31:09.759)
a baseball we played baseball and it would hit somebody in the head they'd
Unknown Speaker (00:31:13.519)
say you did that on purpose and there'd be a fistfight that happens now you get
Unknown Speaker (00:31:17.519)
tagged you go to jail you get into the system leaving out the murder part Wow
Unknown Speaker (00:31:22.359)
or the I was constantly jumped by all the black and this telling he's just
Unknown Speaker (00:31:28.519)
kind of a kid yeah who gets into fights whenever stuff goes wrong in a baseball
Unknown Speaker (00:31:32.519)
game it's like a little bit of a rough sandlot yeah it is very much erupts there
Unknown Speaker (00:31:37.359)
was a fistfight in sandlot sure that's normal sure you know what man when you
Unknown Speaker (00:31:42.359)
get into fights and the coaches at school would hear about it they would
Unknown Speaker (00:31:46.160)
punish you and just a folksy ass way I know this we didn't have all the school
Unknown Speaker (00:31:50.160)
shootings and all the problems because people would work it out in a fistfight
Unknown Speaker (00:31:54.480)
and and if the coaches in school caught you fighting they'd say okay you've had
Unknown Speaker (00:32:00.319)
your fight but they'd stand there and let you fight they go okay now that
Unknown Speaker (00:32:03.960)
you're done fighting how about we go run until you puke your guts out I got in a
Unknown Speaker (00:32:08.980)
few fights not a lot of fights and I remember then walked out to the
Unknown Speaker (00:32:12.680)
football stadium around the track and the coach sitting there drinking
Unknown Speaker (00:32:18.920)
lemonade filling out doing test scores you know the all-talk classes I remember
Unknown Speaker (00:32:26.720)
running around the track for an hour hour and a half now with the coach
Unknown Speaker (00:32:30.720)
yelling faster every time we rounded the bin and and and and and scoring homework
Unknown Speaker (00:32:36.200)
assignments and you didn't want to get in a fight again after you had oh and
Unknown Speaker (00:32:43.000)
then generally they would catch you doing something small the next time and
Unknown Speaker (00:32:48.440)
they take you in and give you four or five swats you'd have a big old bruise
Unknown Speaker (00:32:52.440)
across your hind end where's the murder I was gonna say it but what's the time
Unknown Speaker (00:32:57.559)
that this is 2003 yeah so it takes about anywhere from 15 to 20 years to go from
Unknown Speaker (00:33:03.720)
when I got into a fight my coach man make me ran run suicide to I curb stomp
Unknown Speaker (00:33:10.440)
six people while surrounded by the fucking Denver for Broncos and let me
Unknown Speaker (00:33:15.880)
tell you I liked it was the best I liked it because I was demonic at the time my
Unknown Speaker (00:33:21.920)
hands in their blood and wiped it on my face to prove my warrior strike yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:33:28.079)
this story really it's pirate it's like starting with a 1950s idyllic we play
Unknown Speaker (00:33:38.599)
stick ball in between the streets and whenever a car would drive by we would
Unknown Speaker (00:33:41.799)
shake our fists at it you're running the game it's starting with like me and my
Unknown Speaker (00:33:47.640)
friends would chase a hoop down the road and then like a couple years later the
Unknown Speaker (00:33:52.200)
story is fucking sweet game I was forced to kill my friends die every year one
Unknown Speaker (00:34:02.079)
person had to die in order to keep the school open yes yes they were the
Unknown Speaker (00:34:07.319)
sacrificial lamb yes of course like in the good old days I think that the 2003
Unknown Speaker (00:34:12.400)
version of these stories is a lot more believable it's very believable sounds
Unknown Speaker (00:34:17.639)
like an actual story it's certainly relatable I remember when I played
Unknown Speaker (00:34:21.119)
basketball in junior high mm-hmm I dropped to the coach's ring he was a
Unknown Speaker (00:34:26.800)
football player he was on the NFL oh shit he had a Super Bowl ring oh shit I
Unknown Speaker (00:34:32.039)
dropped it down a well no just awesome it was on some carpet nothing had but
Unknown Speaker (00:34:37.800)
he was like you're running yeah you're running or I'm picking you up by the
Unknown Speaker (00:34:42.679)
throat which do you prefer there is that fun relationship between a boy and his
Unknown Speaker (00:34:53.119)
coach where the coach just looks at you and you go all right fine and start
Unknown Speaker (00:34:56.840)
running away yeah yeah um and you know what I you know it now that I actually
Unknown Speaker (00:35:01.360)
articulate this and say this out loud I wonder if that actually was a Super Bowl
Unknown Speaker (00:35:06.159)
ring because I bet it wasn't yeah I bet it was something else I find it now
Unknown Speaker (00:35:10.880)
looking back as a 37 year old person mm-hmm I find it almost inconceivable
Unknown Speaker (00:35:15.079)
that he brought a foot like a Super Bowl ring to a junior high basketball
Unknown Speaker (00:35:19.320)
practice that does seem odd although it would impress the hell out of everybody
Unknown Speaker (00:35:23.159)
they're hard not to say that too I do know that he did win a Super Bowl that
Unknown Speaker (00:35:27.360)
is true okay yeah he absolutely did with who I think the Giants it was Jerome
Unknown Speaker (00:35:32.760)
Sally Oh Sally yeah oh my god yeah yeah yeah he he was he was a tough all right
Unknown Speaker (00:35:45.199)
kids I coach Steve Young now let's go get eight points today yeah I also had
Unknown Speaker (00:35:51.199)
an issue too with like he went to the same church that I went to so he knew me
Unknown Speaker (00:35:55.199)
before he was my coach and that also kind of led to him having a little bit
Unknown Speaker (00:36:00.039)
of a discomfort he picked on me a little bit yeah I don't like it it was fun it
Unknown Speaker (00:36:04.079)
was it was it was a fun time mm-hmm but yeah I I look back on that like I had to
Unknown Speaker (00:36:09.400)
have been some other sort of ring yeah I know that I dropped a ring that was of
Unknown Speaker (00:36:13.139)
sentimental value and in my head I thought it was a Super Bowl sure sure
Unknown Speaker (00:36:17.000)
maybe it wasn't and then I ended up running forever right right I didn't
Unknown Speaker (00:36:20.039)
throw up though and then I murdered a lot of people that does sound like my
Unknown Speaker (00:36:24.079)
memory of you telling me this story several years ago for the first time I
Unknown Speaker (00:36:27.559)
remember we were hanging out at a bar after we recorded the show and you were
Unknown Speaker (00:36:31.320)
like I can't believe I can't wait to tell you this story
Unknown Speaker (00:36:34.000)
dropped a Super Bowl ring murdered six people now my coach was actually in the
Unknown Speaker (00:36:38.699)
Super Bowl so I told you at the beginning of this episode that we have a
Unknown Speaker (00:36:44.320)
new reason to stay in the past and that is that I had forgotten the timeline
Unknown Speaker (00:36:50.239)
exactly but 2003 is when Gray Davis the governor of California sure has a recall
Unknown Speaker (00:36:56.920)
against him okay it is just starting up here oh boy and that leads us to
Unknown Speaker (00:37:02.659)
something very important I'm sitting here reading Arnold Schwarzenegger's bio
Unknown Speaker (00:37:09.760)
or a possible run for governor of California and they like him over there
Unknown Speaker (00:37:14.920)
he's for gun control he's a good Bush Republican he is for massive gun control
Unknown Speaker (00:37:21.360)
so I'm sure that you will all enjoy that and he also of course is pro-abortion
Unknown Speaker (00:37:29.719)
so he's a good neo-con so it won't matter if you get rid of Davis you'll
Unknown Speaker (00:37:34.400)
just have some creature like Arnold Schwarzenegger Alex hates Arnold
Unknown Speaker (00:37:38.820)
Schwarzenegger and I believe that this period where there is the runoff
Unknown Speaker (00:37:43.320)
election yeah the recall excuse right I think that this will be I think he's
Unknown Speaker (00:37:48.960)
gonna go nuts I think that I think it's gonna be a really really interesting
Unknown Speaker (00:37:52.559)
period I am surprised he hates Arnold Schwarzenegger uh-huh I am I don't know
Unknown Speaker (00:37:58.840)
why I feel like there's something about Arnold that he should enjoy like he
Unknown Speaker (00:38:03.719)
should see something in Arnold that reminds him of masculinity of some sort
Unknown Speaker (00:38:08.559)
right sure it seems like he would be attracted to that yeah you you'd think
Unknown Speaker (00:38:11.960)
that they're just based on that yeah on the testosterone alone I'm sure he
Unknown Speaker (00:38:16.000)
wouldn't want to articulate to somebody how attracted he is to strong men but I
Unknown Speaker (00:38:19.920)
think that would be odd I don't know exactly what the the bone that he's
Unknown Speaker (00:38:26.159)
picking yes but I know that he had a website that he was running that was
Unknown Speaker (00:38:31.000)
like Arnold exposed like he goes all out against Arnold Schwarzenegger yeah and
Unknown Speaker (00:38:35.440)
does Jesse hate it does Ventura hate to hate Arnold I'm not sure I actually
Unknown Speaker (00:38:41.000)
haven't heard Alex bring up Jesse Ventura much this in this 2003 period
Unknown Speaker (00:38:45.360)
interesting yeah I know they probably I don't know when did Ventura run that's a
Unknown Speaker (00:38:49.920)
good question yeah I don't remember it's hard to remember the crazy governors
Unknown Speaker (00:38:54.480)
from each state just like how in Texas there's no such thing as justice because
Unknown Speaker (00:38:59.360)
of all the DNA tampering so every state has had a super insane governor at one
Unknown Speaker (00:39:05.719)
point or another Jesse Ventura had just stopped being governor his term ended in
Unknown Speaker (00:39:11.400)
2003 right so this would have been the rise of Michelle Bachman sure this would
Unknown Speaker (00:39:19.800)
have been the beginning of the beginning of the end of a reasonable communication
Unknown Speaker (00:39:26.079)
I don't know yeah so I am now staying in the past under the guise of tracking
Unknown Speaker (00:39:32.480)
Alex's coverage of the Arnold Schwarzenegger gubernatorial run hmm
Unknown Speaker (00:39:36.960)
that's what I'm excited about now and to see you're gonna have to come up with a
Unknown Speaker (00:39:40.159)
good name for this investigation yeah I'll come up with a pun the sixth day
Unknown Speaker (00:39:45.679)
collateral damage yes I also am still interested in seeing when Alex gets
Unknown Speaker (00:39:52.880)
accepts reality about the bath party oh yeah that would be interesting that's
Unknown Speaker (00:39:56.920)
something else that I'm still tracking so we're gonna say in the 2003 time
Unknown Speaker (00:40:01.059)
where to God the next episode we do in the present he's gonna be like and the
Unknown Speaker (00:40:05.079)
bath party is still in power in Iraq mm-hmm yeah and they've taken over the global exactly
Unknown Speaker (00:40:10.360)
so Alex talks here about a cousin of his I think it's Buckley maybe it is could
Unknown Speaker (00:40:16.239)
be I don't know probably he's got a big family well Confederate royalty well if
Unknown Speaker (00:40:20.000)
this is Buckley his resume is much larger than house DJ and former infowars
Unknown Speaker (00:40:26.039)
employee okay because he did some real serious business okay I've gone in and
Unknown Speaker (00:40:30.519)
I've looked at when I first heard this I mean I actually I was stationed on a
Unknown Speaker (00:40:34.440)
Bergstrom Air Force Base as in the 12 tactical intelligence squadron you're
Unknown Speaker (00:40:38.760)
familiar with that well now Bergstrom isn't is the airport but but my
Unknown Speaker (00:40:43.920)
cousins they're merging the army with the police right now I'm sorry what I
Unknown Speaker (00:40:49.880)
tell you what I was an Air Force intelligence and one on 9-1-1 I'm
Unknown Speaker (00:40:53.800)
watching the TV and I'm thinking this is absolutely impossible there's absolutely
Unknown Speaker (00:40:58.440)
no way this could happen without them letting it happen or being part of it
Unknown Speaker (00:41:02.079)
that's when I want to search and that's when I found you and I'll tell you what
Unknown Speaker (00:41:05.199)
I like to tell it just like it is so I don't know if Buckley merged the police
Unknown Speaker (00:41:09.320)
and the military but he might have been doing that at the airport I mean if it
Unknown Speaker (00:41:12.760)
was Buckley's job that would explain why it didn't happen hmm and when when
Unknown Speaker (00:41:17.920)
people say that Alex is like CIA and shit like that this is the kind of the
Unknown Speaker (00:41:22.800)
reason why some of those people get those theories is he's like my cousin is
Unknown Speaker (00:41:27.079)
merging the police with the military how can you maintain that level of like
Unknown Speaker (00:41:33.559)
familiarity with your cousin if your cousin is literally implementing what
Unknown Speaker (00:41:37.400)
you think is the fucking end of the world cousin is killing hey buddy listen
Unknown Speaker (00:41:44.239)
I think what you're doing is wrong anyways we'll see you Thanksgiving you
Unknown Speaker (00:41:46.679)
gotta agree to disagree so come on so also this caller really touches on an
Unknown Speaker (00:41:50.420)
important dynamic in response to a national tragedy like 9-11 he convinces
Unknown Speaker (00:41:55.119)
himself there's no way that something like that could just happen it had to
Unknown Speaker (00:41:59.039)
have been a conspiracy he decides so reaching that conclusion that happens
Unknown Speaker (00:42:03.280)
before he goes out looking for information so what he's actually doing
Unknown Speaker (00:42:07.400)
is less about seeking truth and more about finding someone who will help him
Unknown Speaker (00:42:10.760)
feel secure in the conclusion that he's already come to he wants to be the choir
Unknown Speaker (00:42:14.920)
for someone else to preach to and Alex fills that role quite well yeah almost
Unknown Speaker (00:42:19.480)
no one gets convinced to follow Alex or believe what he says because if they
Unknown Speaker (00:42:23.320)
were using the rational parts of their brain or they were engaging with the
Unknown Speaker (00:42:26.320)
information he puts out it'd be almost impossible to take him seriously the
Unknown Speaker (00:42:30.340)
path is often more like what this caller is describing where there's actually no
Unknown Speaker (00:42:34.199)
persuasion necessary Alex doesn't have to do any convincing he's just saying
Unknown Speaker (00:42:38.619)
the things that these folks are craving to hear someone say based on the
Unknown Speaker (00:42:42.400)
feelings that they have surrounding I don't know not feeling comfortable with
Unknown Speaker (00:42:47.619)
the randomness of life right right right that dynamic is also really really active
Unknown Speaker (00:42:53.760)
in the present-day stuff about COVID it's something that is is worth
Unknown Speaker (00:42:57.960)
thinking about yeah I can't accept a chaotic universe is ultimately the
Unknown Speaker (00:43:02.239)
fundamental problem with everything that we do right now it does it does lead to
Unknown Speaker (00:43:06.579)
a lot of like bad thought patterns mm-hmm so one of the products of the
Unknown Speaker (00:43:11.619)
chaotic universe that we live in is that there have been tied what one of the
Unknown Speaker (00:43:16.400)
products of the literal product oh another one is that there have been a
Unknown Speaker (00:43:24.519)
hundred different versions of the Hulk that's true so many so many versions of
Unknown Speaker (00:43:31.599)
the Hulk oh man he hadn't even seen Avengers by this point I'm still back on
Unknown Speaker (00:43:35.480)
Edward Norton's Hulk he hadn't been almost cast at the event no that was
Unknown Speaker (00:43:41.260)
Guardians of the Galaxy aren't they part of the Avengers they are part of the
Unknown Speaker (00:43:44.239)
Avengers universe there you go that's true that's true
Unknown Speaker (00:43:47.360)
so Alex saw the Hulk yeah he has some thoughts okay but let me give you a
Unknown Speaker (00:43:53.480)
really good example of mind control I went to saw a late night edition of the
Unknown Speaker (00:43:58.559)
Hulk last night and the bad guy in the movie he is anti world government he's
Unknown Speaker (00:44:06.400)
anti corrupt government sounds like you got a siren in the background I should
Unknown Speaker (00:44:11.840)
call Sam I appreciate it and thanks for that information what just happened they
Unknown Speaker (00:44:16.000)
go in and they you know at the end of the movie the bad guys against big
Unknown Speaker (00:44:22.800)
government see it's always that message the bad guys against big government and
Unknown Speaker (00:44:27.280)
the you watch the daytime talk shows the Jerry Springer's they'll have some
Unknown Speaker (00:44:33.719)
toothless clam guy up there calling black people all these horrible names
Unknown Speaker (00:44:37.239)
then he'll add to it by the way it's a New World Order New World Order and
Unknown Speaker (00:44:42.159)
he'll speak out against the New World Order and taxes and regulation in the UN
Unknown Speaker (00:44:46.440)
so now when I mean they would never have me on one of those shows cuz I bring
Unknown Speaker (00:44:51.079)
people together to defeat the New World Order to expose the threat sure the times
Unknown Speaker (00:44:55.320)
that Alex has been on shows he certainly was bringing people together yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:44:58.440)
comporting himself like a respectable gentleman yeah really bringing the
Unknown Speaker (00:45:02.000)
information to the table not just screaming plugs for infowars calm you
Unknown Speaker (00:45:05.599)
know I think when I think of Alex I think there's just not been anyone so
Unknown Speaker (00:45:11.000)
much like Fred Hampton in my life stuff in a lifetime you know somebody who can
Unknown Speaker (00:45:14.239)
bring together all of the lower class doesn't matter what race doesn't matter
Unknown Speaker (00:45:18.360)
what Creed bring them and that's that's Alex is a unify unifying force
Unknown Speaker (00:45:23.119)
absolutely yeah um I think that I have some bad news for Alex and like the
Unknown Speaker (00:45:28.119)
people who are super racist and also are against the New World Order so they
Unknown Speaker (00:45:35.079)
aren't plants no they're just there's a lot of racists in your community yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:45:40.280)
yeah I think Alex's real problem is more that they pick a racist without teeth he
Unknown Speaker (00:45:46.400)
would he would prefer that he were to go on these shows so he could be the racist
Unknown Speaker (00:45:50.639)
screaming about the new suit and he'd have a really nice teeth he'd have
Unknown Speaker (00:45:54.400)
gotten braces oh yeah these people are being too publicly contemptible yes yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:46:01.920)
whereas if I were to go on there yeah yeah yeah yep and the Hulk apparently is
Unknown Speaker (00:46:09.239)
mind control sure what about the other one what about the next one what what
Unknown Speaker (00:46:14.000)
what other one the next Ang Lee one is before this or after I think this I
Unknown Speaker (00:46:18.800)
think he must be talking about the Ang Lee one because I think the Ang Lee one
Unknown Speaker (00:46:22.119)
came before the Edward Norton one and that came before what's his dumb face
Unknown Speaker (00:46:27.239)
took over as the Hulk for the Avengers uh-huh you know the Ang Lee Hulk was the
Unknown Speaker (00:46:31.900)
2003 one nice yeah so that's the Eric Bana yeah yeah okay so let's see
Unknown Speaker (00:46:38.960)
Norton would have been in what like 2008 or 9 or something like that was a far
Unknown Speaker (00:46:43.659)
away 2008 is the Incredible Hulk yeah right
Unknown Speaker (00:46:47.199)
the Edward Norton one yeah Wow crazy Marvel has dominated by adult life
Unknown Speaker (00:46:54.039)
hey no kind of brutal fashion and pretty shocking that you nailed both like both
Unknown Speaker (00:46:59.019)
of those no it's really it makes me question my sanity yeah yeah I know that
Unknown Speaker (00:47:03.280)
I watched those I don't remember them here's the word I was bored here's the
Unknown Speaker (00:47:09.699)
worst part yeah never saw both of those I've never seen one of the Hulk movies
Unknown Speaker (00:47:14.880)
that is rough that is weird yeah yeah so Alex take some calls as you heard the
Unknown Speaker (00:47:19.420)
siren in the call those guy who's on the phone and Alex gets a little bit upset
Unknown Speaker (00:47:25.840)
at this next caller who brings up a certain radio host hmm I was like who is
Unknown Speaker (00:47:30.760)
this and Alex doesn't give me very many clues see the neo cons will take some
Unknown Speaker (00:47:35.039)
issue that has some importance but is dwarfed by all these other issues I
Unknown Speaker (00:47:39.280)
heard that same host on Monday saying Harry Potter's good and it's not the
Unknown Speaker (00:47:44.280)
occult and it's not a problem oh yeah they just released it on the summer
Unknown Speaker (00:47:48.460)
solstice folks right folks I mean come on and you can't see that you're blind
Unknown Speaker (00:47:52.840)
yeah yeah now if you can't see that Harry Potter is demonic because they
Unknown Speaker (00:47:58.119)
released one of the five books on the solstice right you're blind I mean it
Unknown Speaker (00:48:04.059)
tracks to me so apparently some host was on the radio right there's a neo-con was
Unknown Speaker (00:48:09.320)
talking about how Harry Potter isn't evil yeah demonic yeah and Alex does not
Unknown Speaker (00:48:14.079)
enjoy this it turns out I believe this is Michael
Unknown Speaker (00:48:17.860)
Savage explains a bit more about Michael Savage throughout this he gets another
Unknown Speaker (00:48:23.380)
call from somebody who's like hey you know I was trying to turn my friends on
Unknown Speaker (00:48:27.199)
to your show ah and I told this guy to listen right and so I told him and then
Unknown Speaker (00:48:31.599)
he told me that I did listen and I called the FBI cuz that dude's crazy
Unknown Speaker (00:48:35.920)
yeah he tells this story twice okay then Alex brings in his guest for the show
Unknown Speaker (00:48:42.940)
which is Ray McGovern ah it's a guy who's been on quite a bit like an old
Unknown Speaker (00:48:46.480)
intelligence analyst sure sure and Alex wants the caller to tell Ray this story
Unknown Speaker (00:48:52.559)
it's just it's he tied the story so many times and it's it's not even a good
Unknown Speaker (00:48:58.039)
stuff terrible right I just wanted to illustrate that because I hear this
Unknown Speaker (00:49:01.519)
national talk show host here locally in Austin say every day I mean I tune in
Unknown Speaker (00:49:05.559)
probably ten times I've heard it five times anyone that disagrees with the
Unknown Speaker (00:49:09.159)
government should be arrested and put in a camp were you aware of what Michael
Unknown Speaker (00:49:12.260)
Savage is saying no I'm afraid I I'm allergic to listening to those things
Unknown Speaker (00:49:17.239)
Alex it's I'm not aware of it but I'm not surprised yeah so this caller has
Unknown Speaker (00:49:23.159)
told this story for the third time right and now Alex is like yeah there's the
Unknown Speaker (00:49:29.199)
FBI call it the FBI they want to put me in jail like Michael Savage yeah yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:49:33.760)
it metastasized instantly I find it fascinating that Michael Savage is so
Unknown Speaker (00:49:41.519)
hated by Alex at this point and like in the future Alex will be like he's always
Unknown Speaker (00:49:47.400)
been a great hero yeah yeah it's like you with survivor you know you just he's
Unknown Speaker (00:49:52.019)
just been beaten down by so much Michael Savage over the years he's like hey he
Unknown Speaker (00:49:55.719)
says enough of the stuff I like to hear don't think that's analogous but fine so
Unknown Speaker (00:50:01.119)
Alex has this interview with Ray McGovern for about the like rest of the
Unknown Speaker (00:50:05.960)
show and I find it very boring it's basically just hey Iraq sucks like not
Unknown Speaker (00:50:11.280)
Iraq the country the right it's bad and sure sure sure sure why not yeah war is
Unknown Speaker (00:50:17.480)
bad yes I'm with you and Ray McGovern expresses that he feels bad for the
Unknown Speaker (00:50:21.619)
people in Iraq and yeah good yeah that's totally the right take but then he says
Unknown Speaker (00:50:26.599)
something that I would have thought Alex would freak out about and it's kind of
Unknown Speaker (00:50:29.880)
disappointing that he doesn't I feel incredibly angry Alex not only at what's
Unknown Speaker (00:50:35.239)
going on but but what's being done not only to these children to the Iraqis but
Unknown Speaker (00:50:40.440)
what's being done to the souls of our troops we really can't blame the troops
Unknown Speaker (00:50:45.280)
you know they signed up most of them from the inner city most of them from
Unknown Speaker (00:50:49.159)
the farms they hope that the army we give them away into an education and so
Unknown Speaker (00:50:53.000)
forth they didn't bargain for this and now they're being trained to be
Unknown Speaker (00:50:55.880)
bloodthirsty psychopaths they're gonna come back here and become our police
Unknown Speaker (00:50:59.159)
officers and if somebody says oh you don't support the troops shut up hey a
Unknown Speaker (00:51:02.920)
unit of Delta Force came back and in one week killed four of their wives folks
Unknown Speaker (00:51:07.239)
something's happening to their souls go ahead right so that's a really important
Unknown Speaker (00:51:11.119)
aspect of all this as for you know as for what what needs to be done well
Unknown Speaker (00:51:16.760)
clearly this needs to be internationalized we can't pretend to
Unknown Speaker (00:51:21.280)
have the answer to these things we had no plan going in we had that we had no
Unknown Speaker (00:51:25.119)
plan for what would happen after the war so we need to get the UN in there and we
Unknown Speaker (00:51:30.239)
also need to invite the UN inspectors back so that should be something that it
Unknown Speaker (00:51:34.719)
leads to fireworks that's yeah no Alex should have been like yeah like he's
Unknown Speaker (00:51:40.719)
like well we should bring in the devil yeah exactly that's what that is and it
Unknown Speaker (00:51:45.599)
doesn't lead to a fight it's really disappointing we're gonna need the
Unknown Speaker (00:51:48.639)
frontman for evil to step in and fight this battle for you need to
Unknown Speaker (00:51:52.440)
internationalize this I can't believe that somebody would say that to Alex's
Unknown Speaker (00:51:56.480)
face and Alex would not react like that yep I think part of it is at this point
Unknown Speaker (00:52:00.880)
ray McGovern is kind of somebody who has some credibility and I don't think Alex
Unknown Speaker (00:52:06.280)
wants to lose that once again we get into status imbalance leading to Alex
Unknown Speaker (00:52:11.760)
being a scaredy-cat yeah at this point Alex is incredibly low status
Unknown Speaker (00:52:16.920)
compared yeah and I think that's that's why he does point he does speak up and
Unknown Speaker (00:52:22.159)
is like oh the UN is actually bad yeah and ray isn't having any of it but it
Unknown Speaker (00:52:26.760)
doesn't lead to a fight it just it just leads to them talking yeah like having
Unknown Speaker (00:52:31.079)
separate conversation essentially like Alex says one thing right kind of
Unknown Speaker (00:52:34.880)
ignores it and says another yeah I wanted it to be a fight that's such a
Unknown Speaker (00:52:39.119)
that and that's also one of those things with Alex that's such a tell for me and
Unknown Speaker (00:52:43.239)
is is like regardless of all the other shit like somebody who's so that aware
Unknown Speaker (00:52:49.239)
of how status imbalance should change the way that they to the point where
Unknown Speaker (00:52:53.800)
it's so obvious he's just a bully yeah you know like that's what the every
Unknown Speaker (00:52:58.199)
interaction with a status imbalance shows is Alex is just a bully mm-hmm
Unknown Speaker (00:53:02.119)
that's it but he's also a bully with a bad radar yeah that's true he also
Unknown Speaker (00:53:05.880)
thought that he could bully like Bill Ayers that is true and that is true that
Unknown Speaker (00:53:09.559)
blew up in his face yeah but that's because Bill Ayers is a lefty socialist
Unknown Speaker (00:53:14.280)
monster so it should be easy when you have the power of the Lord behind you to
Unknown Speaker (00:53:19.440)
say get behind me say right bad radar bad radar bullying right yeah I also
Unknown Speaker (00:53:26.199)
think that there's something I just I just feel like if you believe that the
Unknown Speaker (00:53:32.400)
UN is an instrument of trying to explicitly from the beginning has been
Unknown Speaker (00:53:38.400)
about bringing in the New World Order a one-world government which is going to
Unknown Speaker (00:53:41.960)
be run by the Antichrist and Satan right if somebody is they like well I think we
Unknown Speaker (00:53:47.559)
need to bring in the UN in order to fix this mess that is happening in Iraq and
Unknown Speaker (00:53:52.320)
international solutions are necessary you should not be able to move on to any
Unknown Speaker (00:53:57.400)
other subject until this is cleared up and if you have a fundamental
Unknown Speaker (00:54:01.079)
disagreement you should be like thank you very much I cannot talk to you right
Unknown Speaker (00:54:03.960)
because you believe in the devil right right right exactly doesn't do that
Unknown Speaker (00:54:07.039)
because that's not serious yeah what I did what I do and somebody says
Unknown Speaker (00:54:11.079)
something like that is I scream uncontrollably they're barking like a
Unknown Speaker (00:54:14.480)
dog yeah yeah he has like a political opposition to you know international
Unknown Speaker (00:54:21.000)
solutions to problems and he masks that with it's the devil because it's more
Unknown Speaker (00:54:26.199)
interesting and fun and it pokes his listeners emotional buttons brutal yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:54:30.360)
yeah anyway we move on to the 25th because the Ray McGovern interview is
Unknown Speaker (00:54:34.360)
not really all that good Alex starts out the show saying something that is really
Unknown Speaker (00:54:39.199)
funny really silly welcome my friends welcome to another live edition of the
Unknown Speaker (00:54:45.519)
Alex Jones show where we talk about real issues that actually sorry like you and
Unknown Speaker (00:54:51.199)
your family now I'm sorry we're not going to discuss how stupid Hillary
Unknown Speaker (00:54:57.360)
Clinton is or how dumb Jesse Jackson is or how the Democrats are traitors we
Unknown Speaker (00:55:04.000)
already know that we're going to address on this show the neo cons that are
Unknown Speaker (00:55:11.199)
expanding government grabbing our guns getting rid of our borders selling us
Unknown Speaker (00:55:16.880)
out to a world government and then claiming they're conservative wait a
Unknown Speaker (00:55:22.800)
couple years and see how much you talk about Hillary being snow shit Jesus man
Unknown Speaker (00:55:27.559)
I like that that's an issue that is not relevant to his callers and their
Unknown Speaker (00:55:31.320)
families at this point and then becomes the only relevant issue that's the only
Unknown Speaker (00:55:35.960)
thing that's ever been important she's been working with the devil since she
Unknown Speaker (00:55:38.920)
was born Alex saw it in a dream prophetically and that's why he can say
Unknown Speaker (00:55:42.719)
fuck it you don't need to pay attention to Hillary Clinton fine yeah so almost
Unknown Speaker (00:55:47.440)
the first hour of this episode is Alex yelling about how he's the one who
Unknown Speaker (00:55:51.679)
really supports the troops and honestly I don't want to split too many hairs
Unknown Speaker (00:55:57.559)
about this because most of the point that he's making is fine and that is if
Unknown Speaker (00:56:03.119)
you do support the troops you should not support sending them into an unjust war
Unknown Speaker (00:56:07.119)
where people are going to get killed yeah and forcing them to be in a
Unknown Speaker (00:56:10.159)
situation where they could kill civilians and have that on their
Unknown Speaker (00:56:13.599)
conscience and yeah that's not an arguable thing yeah he's like you know
Unknown Speaker (00:56:18.420)
and if you support the troops you should support health care for veterans and you
Unknown Speaker (00:56:23.639)
know like all this stuff like yes fine point right good job good job but it's
Unknown Speaker (00:56:28.699)
about the almost the whole first hour so here's a little taste supporting the
Unknown Speaker (00:56:33.119)
troops doesn't mean using them like well like birdcage liner and loving America
Unknown Speaker (00:56:43.199)
doesn't mean you know ah again I talk about plastic Chinese desecrated
Unknown Speaker (00:56:47.559)
American flags I am offended I'm the type of guy who would get a tear in my
Unknown Speaker (00:56:52.599)
eye during the Star Spangled Banner during the Pledge of Allegiance and I
Unknown Speaker (00:56:56.880)
still do in fact even more so because I think of how this country is being
Unknown Speaker (00:57:01.079)
ruined by fake shallow phonies who are so stupid politically that they don't
Unknown Speaker (00:57:07.960)
even know that they are ultra liberals the liberals are so liberal now and so
Unknown Speaker (00:57:13.119)
mind control that they call themselves conservatives holy shit man Wow he's
Unknown Speaker (00:57:17.980)
really above the left-right paradigm above it yeah yeah but I think at that
Unknown Speaker (00:57:22.159)
it really is a clear articulation of what he believes his politics to be and
Unknown Speaker (00:57:26.119)
that is that the left is super evil super bad and the conservatives are
Unknown Speaker (00:57:30.880)
actually just the left they're pretending to be exactly the right but
Unknown Speaker (00:57:34.800)
they're the left yeah he conceives of himself as just like being conservative
Unknown Speaker (00:57:39.880)
when he's extremely far to the right right right the problem with the
Unknown Speaker (00:57:43.900)
neocons is that they're Democrats and Democrats are the problem yeah so it
Unknown Speaker (00:57:47.860)
doesn't matter what you call yourself anybody I don't like as a Democrat yes
Unknown Speaker (00:57:51.400)
yeah his problem with the left and the right isn't that like they each have
Unknown Speaker (00:57:55.880)
problems and things that there are like okay this is where you're wrong here a
Unknown Speaker (00:58:00.559)
little bit it's that they're the same thing and they're all to the left of him
Unknown Speaker (00:58:04.960)
yeah yeah that's what it is I'm so far right everything is to the left of me so
Unknown Speaker (00:58:09.840)
I hate everything yeah and he's able to trick people into thinking that he's
Unknown Speaker (00:58:13.840)
above this sort of dichotomy and he's able to trick people into thinking he's
Unknown Speaker (00:58:17.739)
sensible because he has sensible positions like this supporting the
Unknown Speaker (00:58:21.519)
troops doesn't mean supporting them being used to have this nonsense war
Unknown Speaker (00:58:27.440)
right and also I think he's a little bit of a blowhard I get a tear in my eye oh
Unknown Speaker (00:58:32.500)
my god I hear the star-spangled banner and I cry fuck off Jesus ridiculous cry
Unknown Speaker (00:58:38.599)
imagine crying saying the Pledge of Allegiance as an adult as an adult
Unknown Speaker (00:58:43.679)
single-tier oh my god let me pledge allegiance to this thing destroying me
Unknown Speaker (00:58:48.719)
Christ I only think that that could happen if it was the culmination of like
Unknown Speaker (00:58:54.119)
a really traumatic experience or something like that like I'm in a movie
Unknown Speaker (00:58:58.519)
kind of experience maybe I live Independence Day the movie the movie
Unknown Speaker (00:59:03.320)
independence day at the end we say the Pledge of Allegiance then I might cry
Unknown Speaker (00:59:07.400)
right so I will have had to leave this attack of these aliens right so so Bill
Unknown Speaker (00:59:12.420)
Pullman is just given his big this is the independence day for the world
Unknown Speaker (00:59:16.380)
speech then we got a we got the dude flying up into the thing the whole thing
Unknown Speaker (00:59:21.360)
explodes and then Bill Pullman leads you in the Pledge of Allegiance tear tear I
Unknown Speaker (00:59:25.260)
get it I get it in those circumstances that's okay
Unknown Speaker (00:59:28.679)
Will Smith comes up behind you and hugs you yeah yeah no totally I get it
Unknown Speaker (00:59:32.559)
uh did Jeff Goldblum survive? Yes, Jeff Goldblum survived, he made it into the sequel
Unknown Speaker (00:59:38.760)
oh that's right yeah talk about a status imbalance Will Smith did not what about
Unknown Speaker (00:59:45.199)
I can't remember who else is in that movie so we get to a little more Harry Potter
Unknown Speaker (00:59:50.559)
talk yeah so Alex gets a call from a guy who's like hey man hey man what if the
Unknown Speaker (00:59:56.360)
release of Harry Potter is just a distraction now this is a oh shit Alex
Unknown Speaker (01:00:00.800)
says no okay John you're on the air yes is the Harry Potter rollout on the
Unknown Speaker (01:00:06.960)
summer solstice designed to divert attention from Bohemian Grove and the
Unknown Speaker (01:00:10.659)
Franklin cover-up I don't think so but I don't know the Harry Potter books do get
Unknown Speaker (01:00:18.199)
kids into witchcraft it is a fact don't deny it fact just like a Christian book
Unknown Speaker (01:00:22.639)
is designed to get kids into Christianity and they do roll the books
Unknown Speaker (01:00:25.719)
out on winter or summer solstice and it is a cult and that's basically what this
Unknown Speaker (01:00:31.719)
is all about getting us away from our Christian values and anybody that denies
Unknown Speaker (01:00:36.480)
that just hasn't studied it oh right okay so witches do the exact same thing
Unknown Speaker (01:00:41.840)
this Christians do but which is their cult Christians aren't a cult that's
Unknown Speaker (01:00:45.079)
completely different because we're right about things because God is real he
Unknown Speaker (01:00:48.119)
gives us the powers to banish demons control magic and you know the whole
Unknown Speaker (01:00:52.559)
thing right huh yeah I what sort of Christian book are you talking there's a
Unknown Speaker (01:01:03.320)
lot of books that are sold at Christian bookstores that are like persuasive or
Unknown Speaker (01:01:07.320)
like Bible study kind of books yeah there's a book and it's just about a
Unknown Speaker (01:01:11.320)
character who happens to be Christian I don't think it wouldn't necessarily be a
Unknown Speaker (01:01:15.840)
persuasive book towards like evangelizing right in the same way that
Unknown Speaker (01:01:20.480)
Harry Potter isn't trying to get you into witchcraft it's just a child who
Unknown Speaker (01:01:24.960)
goes to a school because he's a fucking wizard right but isn't he kind of
Unknown Speaker (01:01:29.159)
implying that a book written by a Christian similar to Harry Potter would
Unknown Speaker (01:01:35.920)
specifically have the unspoken you should join Christianity element to it
Unknown Speaker (01:01:42.440)
unless he's applying that instantly to a Harry Potter book because it only makes
Unknown Speaker (01:01:48.719)
sense for him if that's the case for Christians to do it why wouldn't the
Unknown Speaker (01:01:52.179)
witches be doing I mean it's possible but I think one of the other things too
Unknown Speaker (01:01:55.360)
there's an undercurrent that I think Alex is lamenting and that is that if
Unknown Speaker (01:01:58.840)
this book was about a child like Harry Potter mm-hmm who is destined to go to a
Unknown Speaker (01:02:05.440)
monastery sure or something sure become a monk sure okay it wouldn't be as cool
Unknown Speaker (01:02:11.440)
as Harry Potter right right and so you get the kids who are like freaking out
Unknown Speaker (01:02:17.079)
about like oh my god I love this book where the kid becomes a monk what if
Unknown Speaker (01:02:23.079)
Umberto Eco wrote Harry Potter with all the Christian iconography interesting I
Unknown Speaker (01:02:30.880)
think I think it would it would have a tougher time catching on not because of
Unknown Speaker (01:02:35.079)
an aversion to Christianity and pop culture yeah just because that's not
Unknown Speaker (01:02:39.480)
being a monk isn't as cool to kids as being a wizard because there's magic
Unknown Speaker (01:02:43.960)
true and semiotics professors don't necessarily relate to the the children's
Unknown Speaker (01:02:49.079)
trends these days mm-hmm so this same caller is like hey man hey man yeah
Unknown Speaker (01:02:55.360)
anyone going to the Grove this year you're gonna go check out the grove
Unknown Speaker (01:02:59.159)
Alex says anything Friday you go to the grove Alex says no oh and then this
Unknown Speaker (01:03:04.159)
caller break break some important news okay am I gonna go out there with video
Unknown Speaker (01:03:09.079)
this year well I snuck in three years ago three years July 15th it'll be three
Unknown Speaker (01:03:14.280)
years and I don't know I certainly won't ever be going back there I gave copies
Unknown Speaker (01:03:21.239)
of that tape and your 911 tape to Ralph Nader and Congressman John Duncan
Unknown Speaker (01:03:26.199)
Republican and the law professor RFK jr. yeah so at this point I'm thinking wait
Unknown Speaker (01:03:35.280)
you know Ralph Nader it does seem like he is like hey Ralph mm-hmm sends him a
Unknown Speaker (01:03:40.840)
little text message I got this thing to get you yeah yeah I thought that was a
Unknown Speaker (01:03:44.360)
little bit interesting the story goes on okay so they're all seem to be pretty
Unknown Speaker (01:03:50.559)
impressed with that wait wait so you heard back from I'm sorry so you're
Unknown Speaker (01:03:55.000)
telling me that Ralph Nader sent you a message saying like whoa Alex cat
Unknown Speaker (01:04:00.599)
really did find something yeah yeah they got together and we're talking about
Unknown Speaker (01:04:04.119)
seatbelts right naturally of course RFK jr. is there uh-huh and they're like
Unknown Speaker (01:04:10.000)
that Alex video is pretty good okay I was like wow this caller this is a bit
Unknown Speaker (01:04:13.960)
this is a big deal wait a second is this where RFK jr. goes crazy oh no did he
Unknown Speaker (01:04:19.679)
give him the Alex thing and that's the beginning of it all you never know oh
Unknown Speaker (01:04:23.800)
man this could be his cue you say they were impressed with it yeah they say
Unknown Speaker (01:04:30.760)
after after they watch it they seem to change their their attitude on
Unknown Speaker (01:04:36.599)
television it may just be coincidence maybe they never watched it but Oh Nader
Unknown Speaker (01:04:41.119)
did jump ship from the Green Party and is now apparently running for Republican
Unknown Speaker (01:04:47.400)
presidential nominee and he's attacking Bush on C-SPAN really hard and that's
Unknown Speaker (01:04:52.239)
disappointing he just like mailed them the video and then he saw something
Unknown Speaker (01:04:58.119)
Nader said on TV the next couple weeks ago and he's like well clearly Nader saw
Unknown Speaker (01:05:02.760)
the thing gotta be yeah about me sending him Alex's tape yeah yeah this is
Unknown Speaker (01:05:06.840)
definitely not me talking to the TV that would be crazy no ha ha ha and Ralph
Unknown Speaker (01:05:14.400)
Nader did not run for Republican he went independent for the the 2004 election
Unknown Speaker (01:05:19.619)
and a big part of that was the Republican far wasn't right enough for
Unknown Speaker (01:05:23.159)
him they weren't far right enough for Ralph Nader right yeah it was an
Unknown Speaker (01:05:26.659)
electoral strategy they used yeah it was it wasn't so much that Alex Jones
Unknown Speaker (01:05:32.739)
his video blew his mind and he left the Green Party oh man Ralph Nader yeah
Unknown Speaker (01:05:40.300)
leaving the Green Party because of Fahrenheit 9-11 I think it's really fun
Unknown Speaker (01:05:46.440)
the way that Alex responded to that caller hmm because there was a moment
Unknown Speaker (01:05:51.280)
where he thought like oh you know Ralph Nader Ralph Nader really did like my
Unknown Speaker (01:05:55.239)
yeah so disappointing oh man yeah yeah a certain point he's got to learn not to
Unknown Speaker (01:06:02.920)
get his hopes up yeah that's a terrible idea don't take any of these callers
Unknown Speaker (01:06:06.679)
seriously you know a lot of the times 99% of callers to most shows don't
Unknown Speaker (01:06:13.119)
really have any information and 1% whoa they really are on it a hundred percent
Unknown Speaker (01:06:18.480)
of Infowars callers are going to lie to you about knowing whether or not the TV
Unknown Speaker (01:06:23.119)
is speaking to them and interestingly 99% of Alex's callers have a career in
Unknown Speaker (01:06:27.559)
intelligence so weird it's so weird yeah it's so weird they're all in Space
Unknown Speaker (01:06:31.679)
Command so we talked on a recent 2003 episode about Alex's conspiracy about
Unknown Speaker (01:06:36.599)
UNESCO wanting to destroy the family and how that's bullshit but apparently they
Unknown Speaker (01:06:41.119)
they do want to destroy oh they do yeah okay and again we have UNESCO that Bush
Unknown Speaker (01:06:46.039)
just signed on to saying I read it last week their official document the family
Unknown Speaker (01:06:50.400)
is the enemy is a disease official UNESCO documents posted at Newsmax we
Unknown Speaker (01:06:57.000)
link to it I've read it right out of the UT textbooks the Calhoun reader the
Unknown Speaker (01:07:00.639)
family's the enemy we will destroy it this is how you do it it's not a
Unknown Speaker (01:07:05.239)
stereotype it's a unit of survival and strength your kid is four to five times
Unknown Speaker (01:07:11.079)
more likely to end up in prison on drugs if they do not have a man in the house
Unknown Speaker (01:07:14.639)
doesn't work to have two women doesn't work to have two men we are genetically
Unknown Speaker (01:07:19.519)
engineered by God to follow a certain pattern and they know it that's why
Unknown Speaker (01:07:24.639)
they're trying to destroy it yeah so Alex's belief in family systems being
Unknown Speaker (01:07:31.840)
heteronormative and you know one man one woman right it's not it's it's it's not
Unknown Speaker (01:07:37.360)
based on something that's changeable it's based on his belief that God
Unknown Speaker (01:07:41.960)
genetically engineered humans to be that way yes that's the only system that
Unknown Speaker (01:07:47.119)
works yeah it's and to do otherwise is an affront to God right because God
Unknown Speaker (01:07:53.639)
could not have thought ahead and saw people not acting like the way you
Unknown Speaker (01:07:58.159)
wanted him to write that's crazy so what you could do is you could I don't know
Unknown Speaker (01:08:02.760)
find statistics about two-parent households where you know it's a woman
Unknown Speaker (01:08:07.440)
and a woman or man and a man or sure sure and they would show obviously that
Unknown Speaker (01:08:13.079)
you're four to five times more likely to be you could find that that's not the
Unknown Speaker (01:08:17.720)
case oh there's relative similarities and
Unknown Speaker (01:08:22.079)
outcomes I mean in in in households and it wouldn't matter to Alex you could
Unknown Speaker (01:08:27.119)
have any statistic you want because that's just statistic has nothing to do
Unknown Speaker (01:08:30.399)
with disproving that God genetically made us I was gonna say did God write
Unknown Speaker (01:08:35.560)
those statistics right it's it's it's it's a way that this argument can never
Unknown Speaker (01:08:39.920)
really actually be had nope but Alex will throw things in like four to five
Unknown Speaker (01:08:44.399)
times more likely to end up in prison if you don't have a man in the in the home
Unknown Speaker (01:08:48.720)
then what about two men it's you know here's what's fun here's what's fun
Unknown Speaker (01:08:55.640)
about this type of stuff have you ever noticed how the answer ultimately will
Unknown Speaker (01:09:02.760)
always be because God said so yep and yet somehow there are so many things
Unknown Speaker (01:09:08.079)
that they also want to say on top of that right you know if your ultimate
Unknown Speaker (01:09:11.920)
answer is because God said so why are you telling me that there are
Unknown Speaker (01:09:15.260)
statistics to back it up because you don't want to start with that because
Unknown Speaker (01:09:18.119)
then you sound like a crazy religious zealot you got it right yep
Unknown Speaker (01:09:22.039)
anyway the Washington Post apparently has an article about how they're gonna
Unknown Speaker (01:09:25.640)
outlaw the Bible okay did you hear about that the Washington Post is going to
Unknown Speaker (01:09:30.479)
outlaw no they let's call them UNESCO sure yeah the Washington Post is savagely
Unknown Speaker (01:09:38.079)
basically attacking Mel Gibson risk film about Christ the ADL says a description
Unknown Speaker (01:09:43.840)
and going from the King James Version actually reading out of the Bible is the
Unknown Speaker (01:09:49.920)
text of the film is maybe a crime I'm gonna read this article the next hour
Unknown Speaker (01:09:55.640)
they're calling for it to be changed they say showing the Pharisees calling
Unknown Speaker (01:10:01.119)
for the death of Christ is anti-semitic and I read the BBC news article last
Unknown Speaker (01:10:05.760)
year there may be a ban on the New Testament in large areas the Old
Unknown Speaker (01:10:10.079)
Testament so again this is the new system as well oh wow I would switch
Unknown Speaker (01:10:16.720)
that around I assumed that the band would be on the Old Testament so the
Unknown Speaker (01:10:20.880)
Passion of the Christ wouldn't actually come out until the next year but at this
Unknown Speaker (01:10:24.680)
point many advocacy groups like the ADL had been given copies of the script they
Unknown Speaker (01:10:29.079)
were a little bit concerned with the way that this story was being told for one
Unknown Speaker (01:10:32.920)
thing Mel Gibson was taking a great deal of artistic license seemingly mostly in
Unknown Speaker (01:10:37.979)
ways that painted Jews as being evil and bloodthirsty well you know in the
Unknown Speaker (01:10:41.960)
horizon given Gibson subsequent behavior I would say it's probably not an
Unknown Speaker (01:10:46.399)
accident no also I didn't realize this until I was checking in on the passions
Unknown Speaker (01:10:50.520)
release date but they're actually making a sequel that's due to be released next
Unknown Speaker (01:10:53.840)
year wait what yeah and this is in our time yes it's 2022 they're making a
Unknown Speaker (01:10:59.079)
sequel to the Passion of the Christ about the resurrection oh I was gonna
Unknown Speaker (01:11:02.840)
say I was like you can't repassion that Christ no no it's the next sort of story
Unknown Speaker (01:11:07.399)
within that million yeah so this is gonna be a huge mess I think considering
Unknown Speaker (01:11:14.399)
that Jim Caviezel is set to play Jesus again and in the year since the first
Unknown Speaker (01:11:18.199)
one he's gone completely insane and is now a big QAnon star has risen beyond
Unknown Speaker (01:11:23.800)
what even Jesus could have hoped he's particularly big on promoting
Unknown Speaker (01:11:27.800)
adrenochrome related conspiracies which of course are really just a modern-day
Unknown Speaker (01:11:31.439)
rehashing of the blood libel I do not look forward to this movie coming out
Unknown Speaker (01:11:35.920)
because whatever accusations that were about anti-semitism in the first one
Unknown Speaker (01:11:39.640)
yeah I can't imagine how amplified they're going to be this is fucking wild
Unknown Speaker (01:11:45.199)
yes we are going to make a movie about the most famous Jew of all time to make
Unknown Speaker (01:11:52.319)
sure everyone hates the Jews yeah I think there's even just a fundamentally
Unknown Speaker (01:11:59.239)
offensive thing about like Jim Caviezel playing Jesus again at this point oh I
Unknown Speaker (01:12:03.520)
did well sure that's yeah there's an element of that there too but more more
Unknown Speaker (01:12:08.840)
to the fact that he's an active promoter of anti-semitic conspiracy theories it
Unknown Speaker (01:12:14.600)
seems fraught yeah I mean but but even then the Mel Gibson was part of his I'm
Unknown Speaker (01:12:22.079)
sure he was part of his dad's church at this point in time and they were
Unknown Speaker (01:12:24.760)
violently anti-semitic so it's not like anti-semitism has caused a problem in
Unknown Speaker (01:12:30.600)
for his career mm-hmm you know yep I'm not looking forward to this movie
Unknown Speaker (01:12:36.880)
coming out I'm not looking forward to it no no I'm gonna be a good time I also
Unknown Speaker (01:12:40.960)
think that in 2004 when that movie came out we weren't nearly as crazy as a
Unknown Speaker (01:12:45.680)
society as we are now right right right that could that could really do some
Unknown Speaker (01:12:50.680)
public damage oh yeah no that would not be good might kill each other over that
Unknown Speaker (01:12:54.640)
movie I really hope not yeah I hope I hope not too but first movie I remember
Unknown Speaker (01:12:59.439)
churches bussing in groups of people to go see the movie that's like hey this is
Unknown Speaker (01:13:03.439)
cool I mean we got to get kids to see this we need children seeing this yeah
Unknown Speaker (01:13:08.119)
yeah now it's gonna be like we need children killing the people who hate
Unknown Speaker (01:13:11.800)
this movie as I recall I was in college at the time and my dad I was a religious
Unknown Speaker (01:13:18.800)
studies professor had written a sort of a letter to the editor to the local
Unknown Speaker (01:13:23.600)
paper yeah about the passion of the Christ not being right great right right
Unknown Speaker (01:13:28.079)
right yeah and I remember walking on campus one day in the preacher brother
Unknown Speaker (01:13:33.560)
Jed who was like this campus preacher sure yell whore yeah yeah you know the
Unknown Speaker (01:13:37.960)
good guy yeah he I remember walking by and hearing him yelling about my dad
Unknown Speaker (01:13:43.319)
that's hilarious because that's really funny took issue with this letter to the
Unknown Speaker (01:13:48.880)
I was like whoa I think it's worthwhile getting angry over a movie yeah yeah
Unknown Speaker (01:13:56.720)
especially especially a movie that by your own book should be considered
Unknown Speaker (01:14:01.000)
insanely blasphemous I didn't I didn't have enough awareness of like what
Unknown Speaker (01:14:05.760)
campus preachers were kind of like at that point and so I waited until he
Unknown Speaker (01:14:09.279)
stopped yelling and I I went over as like hey you know that's my dad you know
Unknown Speaker (01:14:13.520)
please just stop yelling bullshit about my dad about my family yeah and then I
Unknown Speaker (01:14:18.319)
like with there's a little bit of a beat and then he called me a seed of Satan
Unknown Speaker (01:14:22.840)
and started screaming I love it this is point that's good stuff yeah yeah so
Unknown Speaker (01:14:34.960)
Alex gets another call here a lot of calls on this episode sure the first
Unknown Speaker (01:14:38.359)
hour is just like hey supporting the troops means something different than
Unknown Speaker (01:14:42.239)
they say right then it's a lot of calls and there's one guy he is calling in to
Unknown Speaker (01:14:48.439)
tell Alex that he has had he's been pulled over a couple times and this last
Unknown Speaker (01:14:54.279)
time the police wanted to search his car right and he said yeah sure go ahead oh
Unknown Speaker (01:14:59.239)
that was a wrong move Alex says that too yeah but also it turns out that they
Unknown Speaker (01:15:02.880)
didn't end up searching his car okay well then this story is over there's no
Unknown Speaker (01:15:06.979)
point in telling it it's a very boring story no no no what this is part of a
Unknown Speaker (01:15:10.720)
conspiracy news in New York they're stopping people randomly giving them
Unknown Speaker (01:15:15.159)
tickets for everything it's about squeezing us sir and they've got a lot
Unknown Speaker (01:15:19.939)
of new mandates they've been given federally so they're increasing their
Unknown Speaker (01:15:23.239)
activities to fund them right but the fact that they didn't search your car
Unknown Speaker (01:15:27.680)
three times when they pulled you over the third time would you point out this
Unknown Speaker (01:15:30.859)
is the third time why are you doing this I did and they said they said that it
Unknown Speaker (01:15:35.279)
was coincidental yeah sure but you say that you work in a software company that
Unknown Speaker (01:15:40.800)
does work for the government yeah it's it's all contract work and you did a
Unknown Speaker (01:15:46.039)
bunch of four-year requests Freedom of Information Act request correct
Unknown Speaker (01:15:50.840)
probably a call came down just to harass you but that's I mean I wouldn't let
Unknown Speaker (01:15:56.039)
that stop you oh great okay this is good thinking fucking how do you get to be
Unknown Speaker (01:16:02.159)
that psychopathically confident you know just like oh you know what that sounds
Unknown Speaker (01:16:06.479)
to me like they're doing the regular old thing they do somebody gave the call
Unknown Speaker (01:16:10.119)
down to harass you obviously yeah sure by not searching your car when they ask
Unknown Speaker (01:16:18.680)
and you give them consent to yeah weird yeah yep this is so stupid Wow say
Unknown Speaker (01:16:25.220)
you're white without saying you're white I gave them consent to my to search my
Unknown Speaker (01:16:28.619)
car and they didn't I do I do think that there's something really toxic about
Unknown Speaker (01:16:33.800)
this interact this kind of interaction with this listener who obviously views
Unknown Speaker (01:16:37.920)
Alex as a credible sort of person a source of information like to tell this
Unknown Speaker (01:16:44.399)
story and then Alex's response be like oh yeah obviously a call came down and
Unknown Speaker (01:16:49.000)
they're probably just trying to harass you for the foyer requests that you're
Unknown Speaker (01:16:51.800)
making I just think it's unhealthy yeah it leads people down a bad path yeah
Unknown Speaker (01:16:56.640)
yeah that's it is like you're you're calling in for you know you could get
Unknown Speaker (01:17:03.800)
two things when you call in you know you can get one or the other thing you can
Unknown Speaker (01:17:08.079)
get confirmation or you can get comfort and there you know Alex is always for
Unknown Speaker (01:17:14.560)
confirmation you know just that like hey I think there I think the government's
Unknown Speaker (01:17:18.840)
out to get me and kill me and my entire family and Alex could just be like you
Unknown Speaker (01:17:23.479)
know what I am the conspiracy guy and guess what I can tell you this one time
Unknown Speaker (01:17:28.279)
you're totally fine you're safe they're totally safe this is amazing you're the
Unknown Speaker (01:17:32.319)
safest person in the history of the world government it has no idea who you
Unknown Speaker (01:17:35.439)
are or you can be like I guess what you're totally right you're going to be
Unknown Speaker (01:17:39.239)
murdered at any time go into the forest buy my food and the evidence of this is
Unknown Speaker (01:17:43.039)
something that could easily be a coincidence totally absolutely oh boy so
Unknown Speaker (01:17:48.039)
one of the things that's a hallmark of this period of time for Alex on his show
Unknown Speaker (01:17:53.760)
is that he is obsessed with the idea that neoconservatism has its roots in
Unknown Speaker (01:18:00.600)
Strauss Strauss thought okay right sure he talks about this article that the
Unknown Speaker (01:18:07.079)
headline is neoconservatives dance a Strauss Ian waltz right like he talks
Unknown Speaker (01:18:11.199)
about this all the fucking time right and so this caller calls in he wants to
Unknown Speaker (01:18:16.520)
talk about Irving Kristol right Bill Kristol's dad okay one of the leading
Unknown Speaker (01:18:21.279)
thinkers in the neoconservatism right world right and listen carefully to this
Unknown Speaker (01:18:27.800)
clip because I think that this clip clearly reveals to people who don't know
Unknown Speaker (01:18:33.039)
anything about what they're talking about but don't want to let the other
Unknown Speaker (01:18:36.279)
one know they do realize okay the founding well one of the the most
Unknown Speaker (01:18:42.159)
prolific neoconservative writers with Irving Kristol now the father of the
Unknown Speaker (01:18:47.680)
yeah yeah right crystal and when you alluded to Strauss you are not alluding
Unknown Speaker (01:18:52.760)
to Leo Strauss correct no okay do you know anything about Leo Strauss he's
Unknown Speaker (01:19:00.119)
dead now I am familiar but not enough to really make any comments all right well
Unknown Speaker (01:19:05.840)
I'll tell you this if you want a really fun intellectual exercise for the
Unknown Speaker (01:19:10.300)
weekend do what you can to find information on the Straussian school of
Unknown Speaker (01:19:16.899)
political theory because this stuff that you're talking about is that University
Unknown Speaker (01:19:20.680)
of Chicago Strauss Strauss is not with the University of Chicago he's not with
Unknown Speaker (01:19:27.159)
the the Chicago School of Economics or anything like that listen I gotta go I
Unknown Speaker (01:19:31.079)
gotta let you go man okay a bunch of callers here thanks for the call that is
Unknown Speaker (01:19:34.199)
a damning conversation Wow so Irving Kristol father of Bill
Unknown Speaker (01:19:38.680)
Kristol is one of the big figures in neoconservatism he's also someone who had
Unknown Speaker (01:19:43.039)
Straussian leanings earlier in his life when people talk about Strauss they are
Unknown Speaker (01:19:47.680)
100% across the board talking about Leo Strauss so Alex saying he's not is
Unknown Speaker (01:19:53.520)
ridiculous yeah that is a clear indication that he knows the word
Unknown Speaker (01:19:57.720)
Straussian but he doesn't know what he's talking about I I assume I assume Alex
Unknown Speaker (01:20:04.319)
thinks that neo cons play the violin really well I'm guessing that's it yeah
Unknown Speaker (01:20:08.439)
yeah also Strauss did teach at the University of Chicago and he's very much
Unknown Speaker (01:20:12.520)
associated with that school so this caller is off base and what he's even
Unknown Speaker (01:20:15.880)
talking about the confusion I think is based on the fact that there's also an
Unknown Speaker (01:20:19.319)
economic philosophy called the Chicago School of Economics based on the work of
Unknown Speaker (01:20:23.119)
people like Milton Friedman this is a term that is used mostly to describe
Unknown Speaker (01:20:26.640)
economics professors at the University of Chicago which isn't necessarily
Unknown Speaker (01:20:29.760)
related to the scholarship of Leo Strauss who taught political science at
Unknown Speaker (01:20:33.880)
the same University because this caller and Alex don't really know what they're
Unknown Speaker (01:20:37.960)
talking about it's impossible for them to disambiguate these terms so they're
Unknown Speaker (01:20:41.920)
basically just talking at each other and it's really it's really strange that
Unknown Speaker (01:20:46.520)
they're really telling damning things are the caller saying you're talking
Unknown Speaker (01:20:51.199)
you're not talking about Leo Strauss and Alex says no he is yeah the fact that he
Unknown Speaker (01:20:56.359)
doesn't know that right is a problem that's a huge problem and then when the
Unknown Speaker (01:20:59.840)
caller says do you know anything about Leo Strauss not enough to comment right
Unknown Speaker (01:21:03.720)
which means no no absolutely not cuz nothing on so much
Unknown Speaker (01:21:07.560)
shit he knows nothing about everything I comment on I know nothing about yeah so
Unknown Speaker (01:21:12.079)
it really is a fascinating glimpse into how poorly he grasps the basis of this
Unknown Speaker (01:21:20.880)
subject yeah his big conspiracy about the neo-conservatives is that they're
Unknown Speaker (01:21:25.880)
all secretly Democrats and liberals based on this Straussian ideology right
Unknown Speaker (01:21:31.079)
that's behind it he doesn't even understand any of that shit no his basis
Unknown Speaker (01:21:35.119)
for attacking neo-conservatives is nothing he has a house built on sand
Unknown Speaker (01:21:40.760)
yeah essentially when he's trying to to talk about this I'm always interested
Unknown Speaker (01:21:46.000)
when Alex instinctively knows he's in weird territory for him you know like
Unknown Speaker (01:21:52.439)
more than willing to talk shit for forever but if he gets something where
Unknown Speaker (01:21:57.000)
he's like I know I'm supposed to know this and I know I don't mmm so I'm gonna
Unknown Speaker (01:22:03.960)
try and let you I'm gonna try and tease out what it is I'm supposed to know from
Unknown Speaker (01:22:08.600)
you and then I compare it back to you so you think I know what I was talking
Unknown Speaker (01:22:13.000)
about from the beginning or I can let you talk for a while I'll find
Unknown Speaker (01:22:17.960)
something inaccurate that you say right I'll latch on to that invalidate your
Unknown Speaker (01:22:21.840)
point change the conversation on yeah yeah I think that there is also a
Unknown Speaker (01:22:26.239)
dynamic that's at play here that is unique to whenever he's on the phone
Unknown Speaker (01:22:30.840)
with somebody I think that he has a pretty good radar in terms of like if
Unknown Speaker (01:22:36.479)
someone's gonna be a problem yeah like if they have information that could be a
Unknown Speaker (01:22:40.159)
problem yeah yeah yeah yeah and that is what you see there right that's why they
Unknown Speaker (01:22:44.420)
call ends abruptly right that's why I was like oh if this caller talks more
Unknown Speaker (01:22:50.039)
it'll reveal the depth to which I don't know any of this exactly and yeah that's
Unknown Speaker (01:22:55.239)
just just good it's good instinct on his part it is yeah no alvers up his
Unknown Speaker (01:22:59.920)
ignorance quite quite well oh man Alex just being like I I know some things but
Unknown Speaker (01:23:07.920)
not enough to talk about it could not be more of a tell it could not mean
Unknown Speaker (01:23:14.199)
anything mm-hmm more then I have no fucking clue yep so that article that
Unknown Speaker (01:23:21.119)
Alex was talking about from the Washington Post about banning the Bible
Unknown Speaker (01:23:23.920)
apparently that was really just an article about Mel Gibson and the
Unknown Speaker (01:23:28.199)
Passion of the Christ being dicey sure but they're gonna ban the Bible next you
Unknown Speaker (01:23:32.159)
don't like that movie you have to ban the Bible right and Alex's defense of
Unknown Speaker (01:23:35.960)
that is an article that he read in the BBC from a year before okay and I
Unknown Speaker (01:23:41.039)
remember the BBC article British Broadcasting last year mr. bagels and
Unknown Speaker (01:23:47.000)
Old Testament could be bad was the headline mr. bagels is a World War one
Unknown Speaker (01:23:51.239)
comic book character who shoots down German aces and says I don't like
Unknown Speaker (01:23:56.319)
Germans and they're discussing banning that the xenophobic and they say the Old
Unknown Speaker (01:24:01.760)
Testament has comments by Jews about destroying other tribes under orders
Unknown Speaker (01:24:07.119)
from God and they say that's hateful now there's a discussion of banning the New
Unknown Speaker (01:24:10.760)
Testament so there was a anti-racism framework that was being discussed by
Unknown Speaker (01:24:15.039)
the EU in 2002 and there's one guy named Lord Scott opined that the framework
Unknown Speaker (01:24:20.439)
would outlaw the Old Testament as well as the very what I'm gonna call of its
Unknown Speaker (01:24:25.359)
time series of that's a good way of putting big goals yeah somebody says
Unknown Speaker (01:24:34.680)
there's something wrong with Tintin I have no idea what they're talking about
Unknown Speaker (01:24:37.439)
yeah yeah it's fun to just say that he didn't like German that's the problem
Unknown Speaker (01:24:45.520)
yeah also you might note that it's 2021 and all this stuff is still very much
Unknown Speaker (01:24:50.359)
legal yeah this stuff happened I mean it would be it would be interesting if
Unknown Speaker (01:24:56.560)
somebody was like hey all right we don't want any books in schools or you know
Unknown Speaker (01:25:02.560)
that promote genocide and then you're like okay well yeah Canaan and they're
Unknown Speaker (01:25:08.720)
like well I mean the Bible's fine of course come on man
Unknown Speaker (01:25:12.800)
it's all right father did yeah it's all good so you you may notice that like the
Unknown Speaker (01:25:18.119)
ADL is complaining about Mel Gibson and the Passion of the Christ and you know
Unknown Speaker (01:25:24.039)
all this is gonna lead to obviously the outlawing Christianity sure and so
Unknown Speaker (01:25:28.119)
therefore the ADL is coming after that is a very sharp slippery slope this is
Unknown Speaker (01:25:33.520)
it you know you think it's you think it's the ADL just going after the Klan
Unknown Speaker (01:25:36.319)
and people know going after the Bible which was written by the way by Jews
Unknown Speaker (01:25:44.000)
okay most of it got him so I don't know that's just this is the craziness you
Unknown Speaker (01:25:53.600)
heard from the EU government they're gonna ban TV shows plays movies where
Unknown Speaker (01:25:58.800)
women or men are shown in stereotypical roles that's women in dresses anything
Unknown Speaker (01:26:03.140)
like that it's a hate crime now not just in the workplace but on the street so
Unknown Speaker (01:26:07.279)
it's total control by the politically correct and Bush is signed on to the
Unknown Speaker (01:26:10.880)
group pushing all this known as UNESCO Wow so yeah apparently women can't wear
Unknown Speaker (01:26:17.279)
dresses in TV shows and plays and and and stuff now it's a hate crime this is
Unknown Speaker (01:26:24.520)
real stuff this is why they're so good at obstructing progress because they
Unknown Speaker (01:26:29.920)
don't even give a fuck if it's actually progress if it's even like a fake
Unknown Speaker (01:26:35.279)
imaginary thing that someone might do the cacophony of howling screams of
Unknown Speaker (01:26:41.640)
whining is so loud yeah that you can't even be like no I mean who gives a shit
Unknown Speaker (01:26:47.399)
about the well it's like you know a lot of the petty grievances and nonsense
Unknown Speaker (01:26:53.680)
that Alex brings up it does remind me of the Phantom Tollbooth remember that
Unknown Speaker (01:26:59.520)
book yeah terrible trivium the guy who made Milo move a pile of sand grain
Unknown Speaker (01:27:05.159)
at a time yep that's basically what Alex is a lot of the time yeah each grain of
Unknown Speaker (01:27:11.520)
sand that you have to move over is a distraction that's not really based in
Unknown Speaker (01:27:15.600)
any reality right but somehow you're expected to clear it up right and it's
Unknown Speaker (01:27:20.020)
just to slow you down so you can't free rhyme and reason oh if you want if you
Unknown Speaker (01:27:24.560)
want gun control you're gonna have to start with proving to me that guns even
Unknown Speaker (01:27:27.779)
exist uh-huh yeah and that means that Steve Pachannik is the spelling bee all
Unknown Speaker (01:27:36.899)
right Info Wars Phantom Tollbooth go okay Joel Skousen sure is the horrible
Unknown Speaker (01:27:43.500)
din okay okay who is the conductor who would like make this the sunrise come up
Unknown Speaker (01:27:49.079)
do you remember his name I mean the moment you ask me for a name is the
Unknown Speaker (01:27:52.079)
moment the name has gone forever uh-huh you know like if I had if I could have
Unknown Speaker (01:27:56.800)
been like oh you know like the conductor five seconds ago then you asked me the
Unknown Speaker (01:28:00.680)
name and I'll never remember Alex is Milo Roger Stone is talk maybe Steve
Unknown Speaker (01:28:12.840)
Pachannik is talk because he's been on info Wars for so much longer longer in
Unknown Speaker (01:28:17.680)
the path I'd say the Trump years was true oh no the current day of the the
Unknown Speaker (01:28:23.000)
kovat stuff is the doldrums no you are in the doldrums yes yeah they're having
Unknown Speaker (01:28:31.279)
a fantastic time you think Alex is bored by it too that's probably true who was
Unknown Speaker (01:28:37.319)
the conductor this is gonna bother me yeah I'm regretting this strongly I
Unknown Speaker (01:28:46.239)
feel like I short-circuited you who is the cop who cares we gotta go all right
Unknown Speaker (01:28:52.000)
anyway there's no more clips oh yeah we've come to the end of this oh no
Unknown Speaker (01:28:58.479)
wonder you were so willing to go on the Phantom Tollbooth refer I'd also like to
Unknown Speaker (01:29:02.439)
talk about the Phantom Tollbooth yeah well that's about right the the rest of
Unknown Speaker (01:29:05.960)
the episode is just Alex doing his news blitz at the end of the show which is
Unknown Speaker (01:29:10.000)
just him reading the same headlines he's already talked sure sure sure the recap
Unknown Speaker (01:29:13.920)
yeah yeah it's quite boring hmm um so yeah I think I think that also let's not
Unknown Speaker (01:29:19.560)
just leave unsaid that that's a bit anti-semitic the idea that the ADL is
Unknown Speaker (01:29:25.840)
going after yeah yeah how could they how could the ADL go after a book that was
Unknown Speaker (01:29:30.100)
written by the ADL I mean not all Jews are exactly the same but that's what I'm
Unknown Speaker (01:29:34.680)
saying yeah and it's it's the it's the it's the conception of this like they're
Unknown Speaker (01:29:39.319)
pretending that they're a advocacy organization anti-defamation league but
Unknown Speaker (01:29:47.079)
what they're really about is crushing Christianity yeah and that that has some
Unknown Speaker (01:29:51.720)
some narrative roots in archaic tropes of anti-semitism so I mean we get to the
Unknown Speaker (01:29:57.159)
end of this and you know there's not there's not like a ton of stuff that
Unknown Speaker (01:30:00.560)
happens there's some interesting things so certainly trends that are important
Unknown Speaker (01:30:05.859)
to point out things like the way Alex covers that Houston crime lab story is a
Unknown Speaker (01:30:10.079)
disservice to the reality of the story right and you know it's important to
Unknown Speaker (01:30:15.520)
understand the ways that Alex is actually actively doing the opposite of
Unknown Speaker (01:30:21.560)
helping yeah in cases like that yeah in terms of the news yeah he gives people
Unknown Speaker (01:30:26.079)
a worse idea of what's going on than if they knew nothing right and that sucks
Unknown Speaker (01:30:31.479)
leaving them in a more manipulatable position yes yeah but more importantly
Unknown Speaker (01:30:36.140)
perhaps huh Harry Potter is still going on true is still mad true still mad
Unknown Speaker (01:30:40.720)
about Harry and we found the new thing to be tracing in 2003 which is the
Unknown Speaker (01:30:45.680)
Arnold Schwarzenegger gubernatorial run yeah which I will I promise you I'll
Unknown Speaker (01:30:49.479)
come up with a pun with I would really like specifics like if Harry Potter is
Unknown Speaker (01:30:55.279)
leading you to become a witch what in Harry Potter is real and what's not like
Unknown Speaker (01:31:00.319)
our Giants real our centaurs real like well what are we talking about you know
Unknown Speaker (01:31:04.279)
that Alex does believe the Giants are real because quail has told him about
Unknown Speaker (01:31:08.039)
it that is true Giants yeah he's written a couple books are good yeah yeah okay
Unknown Speaker (01:31:13.960)
what else um I mean Dobby pixies or pixies real sure how selves how so okay
Unknown Speaker (01:31:21.199)
