N-N-N-N-N-N-N-Knowledge Fight
Unknown Speaker (00:00:12.880)
Dan and Jordan, I am sweating.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:19.519)
Knowledgefight.com, it's time to pray.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:21.320)
I have great respect for knowledgefight, knowledgefight.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:25.120)
I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys saying we are the bad guys, knowledgefight.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:29.960)
Dan and Jordan, knowledgefight.com, it's time to pray.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:47.039)
Hey everybody, welcome back to Knowledge Fight, I'm Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:01.200)
I'm Jordan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:02.200)
We're a couple dudes who like to sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little
Unknown Speaker (00:01:04.200)
bit about Alex Jones.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:05.400)
Oh, indeed we are Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:06.599)
Jordan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:07.599)
Dan!
Unknown Speaker (00:01:08.599)
Jordan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:09.599)
Quick question for you.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:10.599)
What's up?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:11.599)
What's your bright spot today?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:12.599)
Well, this bright spot is a little moment that was brought to you by an alley.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:15.480)
McBeal?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:16.480)
Oh.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:17.480)
I was walking to-
Unknown Speaker (00:01:18.480)
Is it a dancing baby?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:19.480)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:20.480)
I was walking to the store and I noticed that there was a bit of, like, blockage in an alley.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:25.120)
Like, there were a bunch of cars backed up.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:27.760)
And so, you know, one of the routes that I could go to get to the store was through this
Unknown Speaker (00:01:31.079)
alley.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:32.079)
And so I decided to walk through the alley and see what was going on here.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:35.439)
And it turned out that this lady was trying to get in on a fairly tight turn because someone
Unknown Speaker (00:01:40.519)
had parked in the alley and it made getting into her parking space much more difficult.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:46.439)
Yes, indeed.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:47.439)
And so I noticed, like, oh, this is a problem for a bunch of people.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:50.599)
No one's taking care of this.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:51.719)
And I was like, I guided her, you know, like, you can pull back a little bit.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:55.719)
Well done.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:56.719)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:57.719)
Because I looked and I saw, like, she was clearly, like, overwhelmed.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:00.439)
Mm-hmm.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:01.439)
She had a kid in the back of the car.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:03.159)
I was like, this is the sort of thing where, hey, it takes a couple minutes out of my day.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:07.480)
I can make everybody happy.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:08.840)
Great stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:09.840)
Instead of these dicks who were just behind her honking.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:11.639)
Ah, ah, ah.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:13.319)
Let's not solve a problem.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:14.319)
To be fair, they weren't, like, aggressively honking or anything, but it felt like the
Unknown Speaker (00:02:18.080)
situation that no one was solving.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:19.719)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:20.719)
And it was completely easy to solve.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:23.199)
And I guess the bright spot is just, like, being able to, like, help out and then walk
Unknown Speaker (00:02:27.560)
around.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:28.560)
Well, that's fantastic.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:29.560)
Go about my day knowing that, you know, hey.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:32.479)
Look at me with my Good Samaritan ass walking around.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:34.960)
It's less Good Samaritan and more just like, that was a problem that got solved.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:39.719)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:40.719)
Like you slap your hands, ah, ah, and we did it.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:44.280)
Kind of, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:45.280)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:46.280)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:47.280)
It's a feeling of.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:48.280)
You built a desk.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:49.280)
Mild accomplishment.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:50.280)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:51.280)
Everybody is feeling better at the other end of it.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:53.000)
Of course.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:54.000)
I'm feeling like I helped somebody.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:55.000)
That lady got into her parking space and she felt helped by somebody.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:58.319)
Everybody gets to move on with their day.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:59.599)
The people who were behind that car ended up, you know, it's all because this one fucking
Unknown Speaker (00:03:04.139)
person parked in the alley.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:05.139)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:06.139)
No reason for that.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:07.139)
No, no, no.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:08.139)
Let's all remember who the real villain is.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:09.759)
Everybody comes away feeling better and just like, all right.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:13.039)
That's great.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:14.039)
Sometimes small things should be turned into the sports movie where everybody carries you
Unknown Speaker (00:03:19.360)
on their shoulders.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:20.360)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:21.360)
I should have had a Rudy.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:22.360)
You should have been carried through the alleyway and taken to, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:27.800)
I mean, glad you got there because that's the point I was trying to make.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:32.319)
That's what you were going for.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:33.319)
Yes, I agree.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:34.319)
How about you?
Unknown Speaker (00:03:37.199)
Mine is the successful, as we finished the U.S. Open, or as you finished the U.S. Open
Unknown Speaker (00:03:45.759)
finished.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:46.759)
I didn't finish.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:48.560)
Your anecdote.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:49.560)
Oh, I see.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:50.560)
Almost similar simultaneously.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:51.560)
It was a little bit earlier.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:54.719)
But Dominic Thiem won the U.S. Open defeating Sasha Zverev, who I am strongly against.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:01.759)
Okay, so you like that guy lost.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:03.599)
I like that he lost.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:04.599)
I love Thiem.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:05.599)
I like a good one-handed backhand.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:06.599)
It was great.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:07.599)
It was the first time somebody under the age of 30 has won a U.S. Open in, I don't know,
Unknown Speaker (00:04:12.479)
probably 85 years or however long Nadal's been around.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:15.000)
I'm worried that your bright spots are getting dangerously close to tennis updates.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:19.160)
I'm not going outside a lot.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:20.959)
Yeah, I know.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:21.959)
I'm not going outdoors.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:22.959)
Still, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:04:23.959)
It is becoming like this is the SportsCenter tennis update.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:26.319)
Oh, do you want to talk about plants out here?
Unknown Speaker (00:04:28.839)
Is this the home and garden network?
Unknown Speaker (00:04:30.079)
I mean, now that you mention it, I have some peas coming in that I'm pretty excited about.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:34.040)
See, there we go.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:35.040)
We're understanding our situations here.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:37.319)
Yes, we have interests.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:39.360)
There are very few other things going on.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:40.959)
All right, guys.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:41.959)
Welcome to Plants in Tennis and Alex Jones.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:45.759)

Unknown Speaker (00:05:53.120)
Crikey, mate, that's fantastic.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:54.120)
Have yourself a brew.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:55.120)
How's your 401k doing, bro?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:56.120)
Alright, we gotta go full tilt boogie on this, Watson, alright?
Unknown Speaker (00:06:00.120)
Let's just get down to business.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:02.000)
We ain't making that money off that heroin.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:04.079)
Why you pimps so good?
Unknown Speaker (00:06:06.000)
My neck is freakishly large.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:07.639)
I declare info war on you.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:10.519)
Thank you so much, Lauren, and thank you so much, Hannah.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:13.079)
Yes, thank you very much to the both of you.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:14.720)
If you're out there listening and thinking, hey, I enjoy this show, I'd like to support
Unknown Speaker (00:06:17.199)
what these gents do, you can do that by going to our website, knowledgefight.com, clicking
Unknown Speaker (00:06:20.060)
the button that says support the show, we would appreciate it.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:22.839)
Or, uh, what you could do is you could, uh, I'm sorry, the moment I get into a space where
Unknown Speaker (00:06:30.519)
I'm trying to create something, you started scratching your beard, and I was like, alright,
Unknown Speaker (00:06:34.720)
what you could do is you could take that and scratch your beard with, no, that's not how
Unknown Speaker (00:06:38.079)
that works.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:39.079)
Get a little beard comb, shit, no, take the beard comb to the charity, no, it's a beard.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:45.560)
Dan?
Unknown Speaker (00:06:46.879)
I think you're worse at this than me.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:48.360)
Scratch your beard.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:50.480)
I really think I'm pretty bad at this.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:52.480)
I know.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:53.480)
But I think you're worse.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:54.480)
I'm really taking it to a new level.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:56.639)
What you should do.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:57.639)
Yes, what's that?
Unknown Speaker (00:06:58.639)
Is you should take a class on how to improvise, and then put on a show, and give the proceeds
Unknown Speaker (00:07:07.040)
of that show to charity in the form of the generosity that you.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:10.920)
That's great.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:11.920)
Oh, no it wasn't.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:12.920)
That's fantastic.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:13.920)
It's more coherent than the beard scratching thing, that's for sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:17.079)
You scratched your beard, and it threw me off.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:19.759)
So Jordan, today, I think that there is probably a slight expectation that people might have
Unknown Speaker (00:07:26.939)
that we're going to be talking about Roger Stone, and you know how the media has decided
Unknown Speaker (00:07:33.300)
to cover his.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:34.300)
I'm confused.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:35.300)
He calls for a violent overthrow of the country every other day.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:40.000)
What are we doing?
Unknown Speaker (00:07:41.000)
What are we doing?
Unknown Speaker (00:07:42.000)
Are we busy?
Unknown Speaker (00:07:43.000)
Well, it's, I mean, we're closer to the election, and maybe things are a little bit more explicit
Unknown Speaker (00:07:46.399)
than they have been in the past.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:48.600)
But that's not what we're doing today.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:50.680)
Of course not.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:51.680)
Today we're doing a very special episode, policy wonk Keith got in touch with me.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:56.639)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:57.639)
Reached out and wanted to, you know, it's been a bad year, a lot of negative, a lot of down
Unknown Speaker (00:08:04.680)
feelings.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:05.680)
Sure, sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:06.680)
You know, we got this coronavirus going around, this COVID-19, everybody's had a tough time.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:12.959)
And he and his wife, Laurel, are having their anniversary, and they wanted to go back to
Unknown Speaker (00:08:20.800)
the day of their wedding.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:22.120)
Oh, no.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:23.120)
So today we are going to be time traveling back to September 13th, 2012, to be experiencing
Unknown Speaker (00:08:31.759)
what was going on on the Alex Jones show on the day of Keith and Laurel's wedding.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:37.159)
I think this is a way better one than making a time capsule for someone who's going to
Unknown Speaker (00:08:43.840)
listen to it when they're 16.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:45.639)
I don't know if they'll be really ready to appreciate our show at 16.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:49.419)
But wedding anniversary?
Unknown Speaker (00:08:50.419)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:51.419)
We can do that all day, Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:52.799)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:53.799)
So it's their 8th anniversary, and Keith informs me that they met 21 years ago at, ooh, Alex
Unknown Speaker (00:08:59.399)
is going to hate this, Model UN Conference.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:02.240)
Ooh, we've got the globals of globalists here.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:05.720)
Model globalists.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:06.720)
The Shadow Gate of Gates.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:08.500)
They started listening to the show together a couple years ago when Laurel was going through
Unknown Speaker (00:09:12.600)
getting diagnosed with a pituitary tumor, parentheses turns out to at least be non-cancerous.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:17.360)
Oh, that's good.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:18.360)
Ooh.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:19.360)
Ooh, that would have been-
Unknown Speaker (00:09:20.360)
That's a relief.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:21.360)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:22.360)
That would have been a relief to both Alex and the podcast through the Christmas Eve
Unknown Speaker (00:09:24.919)
episode with the drunken hatchet throwing.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:28.000)
Jordan turned out to be her spirit animal, and she got a lot of emotional relief screaming
Unknown Speaker (00:09:31.399)
at the same things many times a few seconds before.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:34.879)
Since then, it's become a bit of a ritual to keep up with the show, and she's taken
Unknown Speaker (00:09:38.200)
on as a fairly successful personal endeavor to get Infowars listeners to think outside
Unknown Speaker (00:09:44.659)
the Alex box by invading their chat.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:46.879)
I like it.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:47.879)
I enjoy it.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:48.879)
Wow.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:49.879)
Get in there.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:50.879)
I guess.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:51.879)
It's courage.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:52.879)
It's courage.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:53.879)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:54.879)
That's courage.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:55.879)
We applaud Laurel.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:56.879)
You're putting yourself in the-
Unknown Speaker (00:09:57.879)
Am I getting flexed on a little bit that she's yelling a few seconds before me?
Unknown Speaker (00:10:01.799)
Am I doing my bad job here?
Unknown Speaker (00:10:04.639)
I don't know if it's getting flexed on, but maybe your reaction time isn't what
Unknown Speaker (00:10:07.720)
it could be.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:08.720)
Maybe I'm a little slow.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:09.720)
Maybe I'm behind.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:10.720)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:11.720)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:12.720)
So I have a couple out of context drops to start before we get into things.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:16.559)
Here's just something that I thought was really funny.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:19.000)
This new book, I think, is one of the best I've ever read, Democrips and Rebleblicans.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:30.519)
That's just a great sentence.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:32.960)
You can't get better than that sentence.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:35.360)
How could possibly, in any world, the best book you've ever read is Democrips and Reblebla.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:44.600)
Also, it's Jesse Ventura's book.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:48.039)
It's Democrips and Rebleblicans, but it's a problem.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:52.559)
It's a bad name because you can't pronounce it.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:55.639)
Because you can't pronounce it.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:56.639)
Rebleblican.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:57.639)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:58.639)
Rebleblicans.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:59.639)
I think it's one of the best I've ever read, Democrips and Rebleblicans.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:02.960)
Rebleblicans.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:03.960)
Rebleblicans.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:04.960)
He can't pronounce it.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:05.960)
He says it over and over.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:06.960)
It's a tongue twister.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:07.960)
It's a tongue twister.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:08.960)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:09.960)
I would have advised Jesse against that.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:10.960)
That is not a good name for a book.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:14.519)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:16.480)
And then, the second out-of-context drop from today's show is a teaser for what's to come.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:21.919)
As we already know, Jesse Ventura is going to be on this show.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:24.919)
And this should tell you that there are dark times ahead.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:28.000)
I don't want to hear about Ron Paul ever again.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:30.840)
Oh no.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:31.840)
Uh oh.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:32.840)
Oh no.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:33.840)
Oh no.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:34.840)
Is this the beginning of the end for Alex and Ron Paul?
Unknown Speaker (00:11:37.960)
Is this where it begins?
Unknown Speaker (00:11:38.960)
This might have been when Ron Paul shoved ISIS up his dirty asshole.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:41.799)
It could be.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:42.799)
That could be what's going on.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:43.799)
Is that today, huh?
Unknown Speaker (00:11:44.799)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:45.799)
So, we start here where Alex begins introducing the show.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:49.919)
Ladies and gentlemen, it is Thursday, the 13th day of September 2012, former Minnesota
Unknown Speaker (00:11:57.720)
governor Jesse Ventura will be joining us to give us his take on election 2012 and beyond.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:04.360)
I just wanted to put that in there as a timestamp, as if to be holding up today's newspaper.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:09.120)
Yes, yes, I see.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:10.399)
Alex saying that it's that day.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:12.039)
I understand.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:13.039)
So, we can all be sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:14.039)
But you don't get to say 2020, so we're all feeling good about that.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:16.960)
I'm Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:17.960)
This is 2012.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:18.960)
No!
Unknown Speaker (00:12:19.960)
2012.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:20.960)
Yeah, you know.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:21.960)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:22.960)
So, here is Alex discussing what's going to be coming up.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:26.279)
We got Jesse Ventura.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:27.399)
We got what else?
Unknown Speaker (00:12:29.240)
Also going to have open phones here, ladies and gentlemen, throughout the broadcast on
Unknown Speaker (00:12:36.480)
the state of the world.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:37.480)
I mean, you can call in about whatever you want, but if you don't call in about the fact
Unknown Speaker (00:12:43.679)
that the globalists are trying to gear up World War III right now to cover the engineered
Unknown Speaker (00:12:47.679)
financial collapse, see, they're taking over economically, but politically, they need a
Unknown Speaker (00:12:52.840)
war, a global war, a multi-region war, as a political distraction to get people to rally
Unknown Speaker (00:12:59.559)
behind the ongoing takeover.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:01.720)
So, this is just after Benghazi, and so there's this idea that Alex has that they're trying
Unknown Speaker (00:13:07.279)
to trigger wars in order to cover up for the financial collapse.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:11.320)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:12.320)
It's interesting, because that seems like, yeah, that's an Alex narrative.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:16.639)
That's a classic Alex.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:17.960)
Yeah!
Unknown Speaker (00:13:18.960)
That feels right for Alex.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:19.960)
That's a good point.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:20.960)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:21.960)
Because it doesn't make any sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:24.720)
It seems like the distraction is far worse than the problem that they're trying to distract
Unknown Speaker (00:13:28.519)
from.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:29.519)
Maybe, but it also fits with his rogues gallery of classic villains who are all the international
Unknown Speaker (00:13:34.759)
banks.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:35.759)
100%.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:36.759)
And stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:37.759)
It feels like...
Unknown Speaker (00:13:38.759)
And at the end of the day, you gotta buy gold.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:39.759)
It feels like, in that world of conspiracy, this makes sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:43.360)
As opposed to now, with everybody's drinking blood, they're Dracula vampire demons.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:47.720)
Man, we've come a long way.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:49.679)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:50.679)
That's something that you always end up sort of recognizing.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:53.980)
If you look back a little bit, it's like, well, he's still a liar, this is still nonsense.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:57.519)
Sure, of course.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:58.519)
But at least this lane makes sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:01.080)
Yes!
Unknown Speaker (00:14:02.080)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:03.080)
You can see the sort of connective tissue between this and some valid complaint about
Unknown Speaker (00:14:08.240)
the world.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:09.240)
Right, right, right.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:10.240)
Which, you know, you could point...
Unknown Speaker (00:14:11.240)
You know, there's a lot of complaints you could make about the Federal Reserve.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:14.080)
Alex's particular brand of criticism is less based in reality, but there are valid complaints
Unknown Speaker (00:14:20.639)
to be made.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:21.899)
And you can see how you could take real world gripes and it could get morphed into Alex.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:28.799)
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:29.799)
What we have now is not that.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:33.399)
It's like when you're watching a movie and you see the conspiracy theorist with his pin
Unknown Speaker (00:14:37.960)
board and he's got all the little things and he's got string tied from picture to picture.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:42.379)
That's interesting.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:43.379)
But if you panned out a little bit and then at the top of that you've just got a big picture
Unknown Speaker (00:14:47.679)
of the devil circled with, like, this is the guy, then you'd be like, okay, well, we're
Unknown Speaker (00:14:52.240)
not interested in this conspiracy theorist anymore.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:54.840)
It's the devil.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:55.840)
True, and if you have a conspiracy board and it's only got a few pieces of yarn connecting
Unknown Speaker (00:15:01.840)
things, you can kind of be like, oh, okay, I get what you're saying.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:04.799)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:05.799)
And the conspiracy theorist just gave you a ball of yarn and was like, it all makes
Unknown Speaker (00:15:09.000)
sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:10.000)
Like, I don't know what I'm looking at.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:11.440)
The devil's in the middle.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:12.440)
What?
Unknown Speaker (00:15:13.440)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:14.440)
I'm going to call it a sweaty ball of yarn.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:16.360)
There's something on that ball of yarn.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:18.000)
You know it's trouble.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:19.000)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:20.000)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:21.000)
So Alex, in 2012, also very full of himself, let's say.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:22.000)
It is so good to be here with you today.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:23.000)
I am so honored to be speaking to millions of my fellow humans, not just here in the
Unknown Speaker (00:15:24.000)
United States, Canada, Mexico, but into Europe, Australia, and the United States.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:25.000)
All over the world, from Antarctica to the Marshall Islands, people are listening to
Unknown Speaker (00:15:46.519)
this worldwide transmission.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:49.419)
It's interesting to hear that Alex thinks he has listeners in Antarctica.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:53.519)
There are no native populations in Antarctica unless you're talking about penguins.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:57.919)
The only humans who you could say, quote, live in Antarctica are the scientists who
Unknown Speaker (00:16:01.899)
are there working on some of the research bases that have been set up.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:05.360)
There are 66 bases in all of Antarctica, and the number of people there varies a bit by
Unknown Speaker (00:16:10.320)
season.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:11.320)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:12.320)
In the summer months, you might have up to about 4,000 people in Antarctica, whereas
Unknown Speaker (00:16:14.919)
in the winter, that number goes down to about 1,000.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:18.179)
September is squarely in Antarctica's winter months, so the number of potential listeners
Unknown Speaker (00:16:22.320)
for Alex is then at its lowest point.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:25.639)
There are often more tourists passing through Antarctica than there are people, quote, unquote,
Unknown Speaker (00:16:29.600)
living there, but the problem there is that tourist season doesn't really kick off until
Unknown Speaker (00:16:33.279)
November, and most don't even actually even advise you plan a trip until like December
Unknown Speaker (00:16:37.559)
or January.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:38.559)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:39.559)
Trying to plan a vacation trip during the Antarctic winter seems like a very unwise
Unknown Speaker (00:16:43.320)
decision, but then again, info warriors aren't really known for being smart, so maybe Alex
Unknown Speaker (00:16:47.480)
is getting a listener who's like, I'm going to go visit Antarctica during the ass end
Unknown Speaker (00:16:53.000)
of their winter.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:54.000)
Just one of the rogue info war scientists out there.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:56.440)
Could be.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:57.440)
Just like, all right, I'm studying climate change, but I don't believe in any of it,
Unknown Speaker (00:17:00.559)
all right?
Unknown Speaker (00:17:01.559)
I don't believe in any of this stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:02.559)
I'm going to get these ice cores from several hundred thousand years ago that obviously
Unknown Speaker (00:17:07.400)
didn't happen.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:08.400)
Earth is only 10,000 years old, of course.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:10.720)
Anyways, this is a long, strange trip of mine.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:13.599)
My point here is that I highly doubt that Alex has any listeners in Antarctica.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:17.000)
Strongly doubt, yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:18.000)
It seems like the indications are not good.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:22.079)
At this point, Alex has a strong belief that the globalists can just like press a button
Unknown Speaker (00:17:28.680)
and then jihad bombs happen all over the world.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:32.680)
That's a fun button.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:33.680)
Well, he believes that and here he is literally saying that.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:37.559)
They can punch a button and Al Qaeda and other jihadi squads that have been allowed to operate
Unknown Speaker (00:17:42.640)
in all our countries will start bombing things.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:47.279)
And then that will be used to take all of our liberties.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:50.079)
You see, people think it's America versus Iran or it's Europe versus Syria or no, no,
Unknown Speaker (00:17:56.480)
no, no, no.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:57.480)
It's global mega bankers financing all sides for conflict and bedlam so they can destroy
Unknown Speaker (00:18:06.140)
once free societies.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:07.559)
See, this makes sense conspiracy wise.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:10.960)
Like this is the, okay, yes, the evil big bad guys are using, uh, we're in a place that
Unknown Speaker (00:18:18.279)
makes sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:19.279)
I mean, it's just basic classic false flaggery, but at least like it's not, it's not an overly
Unknown Speaker (00:18:26.259)
complicated thing that involves other dimensions and demons and like all that shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:31.559)
So like, okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:32.559)
I mean, I still disagree with it and I still think he's basing this on next to nothing,
Unknown Speaker (00:18:37.039)
but at least does the devil apply retroactively to Alex Jones's career.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:43.480)
Now do we have, we have to recontextualize everything that we see in the past through
Unknown Speaker (00:18:48.240)
what it eventually becomes because it must be, this has to be like lost.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:52.640)
You know, there has to have been a plan from the beginning.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:55.299)
That's where things get really difficult.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:57.880)
Where's Mr. Echo?
Unknown Speaker (00:18:58.880)
Where does this begin and where does it end?
Unknown Speaker (00:19:02.240)
Yeah, because I mean the devil didn't just come into play.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:06.240)
He can't possibly have been on the sidelines this whole time and then in 2018 he starts
Unknown Speaker (00:19:12.559)
problems.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:13.559)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:14.559)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:15.559)
So obviously all this is still supposed to be the devil, which makes it difficult because
Unknown Speaker (00:19:18.839)
he doesn't say that.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:19.839)
He was just talking about this in terms of political intrigue and the great game of nations
Unknown Speaker (00:19:27.279)
and stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:28.279)
And it's like, okay, I mean, our ideas are stupid and we can talk about stuff in more
Unknown Speaker (00:19:34.359)
detail when, when we need to, but like at least it's great.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:39.079)
It's real life shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:40.519)
At least it's human.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:42.200)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:43.200)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:44.200)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:45.200)
It's not demonic.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:46.200)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:47.200)
We're not talking about, look, the Lusitania sink.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:48.200)
Uh, but it's, you know, the fucking demons didn't come out from beneath the water to
Unknown Speaker (00:19:52.000)
open the Bombay doors.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:53.720)
He'll say that the globalists hate humans and they want to depopulate and stuff like
Unknown Speaker (00:19:58.519)
that.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:59.519)
But it's not like specifically at the behest of Beelzebub.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:02.599)
It's like, all right, so the globalists have this terrorist button that they can press
Unknown Speaker (00:20:07.759)
and then they causes trouble and then they gain power.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:11.240)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:12.240)
And it's simple, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:13.240)
Even a kid could understand this.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:14.240)
And again, before I get into this news, it's a something a child can understand.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:20.640)
Whenever Revenge of the Sith came out 10 years ago or whatever it is to reply.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:26.599)
Not really.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:27.599)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:28.599)
I guess it was about seven, eight years ago.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:30.240)
Guys look up when Revenge of the Sith came out for me.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:33.039)
Episode three of the cheesy Star Wars prequels.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:37.039)
Not really a fan of those films because of the fact that they have important art types
Unknown Speaker (00:20:41.200)
in them.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:42.200)
But how amazing is that that you condescendingly we're making fun of Alex saying that he's
Unknown Speaker (00:20:45.759)
not really.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:46.759)
And then he follows through with it.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:48.000)
What a dick.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:49.000)
He's very predictable.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:50.000)
Dick.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:51.000)
Even throughout the past.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:52.000)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:53.000)
So say you like Star Wars.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:54.480)
You might as well.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:55.480)
I like Star Wars.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:56.480)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:57.480)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:58.480)
So he's a senator on a little known planet who finances a group to attack his planet
Unknown Speaker (00:21:04.799)
over over trade deals came out in 2005, so seven years ago.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:11.279)
And then he uses that to become prominent in the Senate.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:15.599)
Then he finances groups terrorists to attack the home world, what is it, Coruscant, as
Unknown Speaker (00:21:21.680)
a pretext to then say that there isn't enough of an army, there isn't enough of a police
Unknown Speaker (00:21:28.039)
army to stop the terrorist attacks.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:30.960)
And so then he abolishes the old republic, basically using that and then hunts down,
Unknown Speaker (00:21:39.279)
hunts down the old police force and wipes them out.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:42.400)
Now, when when the movie came out, the media all over the place said, we don't understand
Unknown Speaker (00:21:47.519)
the plot.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:48.799)
We don't know what this means.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:50.920)
I don't think they did.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:52.920)
I think they said this plot is stupid.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:58.359)
It wasn't that we were confused.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:59.359)
No, I don't remember people being confused.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:00.359)
I remember people being like, ugh.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:01.359)
I remember people being bored.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:04.359)
Very bored.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:05.359)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:06.359)
They're very boring.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:07.359)
There was the whole drama about Jar Jar Binks.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:09.359)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:10.359)
That was certainly a difficult period.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:12.079)
Let's not forget the Trade Federation's wonderful accent work.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:16.160)
Nobody was offended by that utter.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:18.680)
Well, there were troubles that were not related to, what does this mean?
Unknown Speaker (00:22:24.480)
I don't understand.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:25.799)
What are you talking about?
Unknown Speaker (00:22:26.799)
An evil man would false flag something?
Unknown Speaker (00:22:29.359)
We're just media people.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:31.000)
We can't understand.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:32.000)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:33.000)
I think on the basis of like, okay, getting the broad strokes of the plot, I think everyone
Unknown Speaker (00:22:39.279)
really could handle it.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:41.160)
You know the bad guy.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:43.200)
He's doing evil shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:44.640)
He's also a magical Sith Lord.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:46.599)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:47.599)
It's interesting, too, that Alex brings up this whole, you know, the prequels and stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:54.880)
First of all, fucking loves prequels.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:55.880)
He's not a fan of Star Wars.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:56.880)
But I noticed something else, and that was like, when he comes in from commercial break,
Unknown Speaker (00:23:01.200)
he plays this.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:02.200)
You are either with the Republic or against it.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:06.799)
One of the big points about the turn of Darth Vader is him thinking in absolutes.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:12.319)
Obi-Wan tells him only a Sith thinks in absolutes.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:16.200)
Sure, sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:17.200)
So Alex has to have seen that movie and seen that point, and he still thinks there's like,
Unknown Speaker (00:23:23.200)
and even one of Alex's real-world bad guys, George Bush, George W. Bush, you're with us
Unknown Speaker (00:23:28.140)
or you're with a terrorist.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:30.140)
These thinking in absolute ideas are traditionally viewed through the prism of that being limited,
Unknown Speaker (00:23:37.640)
and that being a bad way to approach things, yet Alex still thinks, I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:44.640)
But he likes the bad guys.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:46.759)
He doesn't.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:47.759)
He does like the bad guys.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:48.759)
He's a bigger fan of the bad guys than he is the good guys.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:50.960)
He kind of does.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:52.240)
So Alex believes that this whole thing in Star Wars is an allegory for 9-11.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:59.720)
And he believes that George Lucas did interviews where he was basically a 9-11 truther.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:07.519)
And George Lucas did interviews from the Cannes Film Festival and others, and he said, what
Unknown Speaker (00:24:11.359)
do you mean you can't get it?
Unknown Speaker (00:24:13.400)
Criminal elements in the government are staging terror attacks as a pretext to take over society
Unknown Speaker (00:24:19.720)
just like we're seeing today.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:22.759)
So he basically is a 9-11 truther, George Lucas.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:25.519)
Love him or hate him, that's what he said.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:28.200)
He said, just like we're seeing today.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:30.599)
He said at the Cannes Film Festival, go look it up, it was all over the news.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:33.839)
And the news still played dumb and said, we don't know what this means, but children knew.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:41.200)
We don't get it.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:42.559)
So here's a clip of that George Lucas interview that Alex is talking about.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:46.240)
American politics has always been behind these films.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:48.039)
People have read in, from the very beginning they read in the relationship between the
Unknown Speaker (00:24:51.240)
US and the Soviet Union, Watergate.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:53.759)
Now in this episode, without quite being Michael Moore, it is very political.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:58.079)
There are references to have we become what we feared.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:01.480)
There are references to the state of the republic.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:03.200)
How intentional was that for you?
Unknown Speaker (00:25:05.759)
Well, the story, the political back story was written 30 years ago.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:09.319)
It was written during the Vietnam War and in the Richard Nixon era.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:13.160)
I didn't want to do a movie about how people take over democracy, I wanted to figure out
Unknown Speaker (00:25:16.880)
how democracies give themselves over to tyrants.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:20.400)
And after the Roman Senate killed Caesar, why did they turn the whole thing over to
Unknown Speaker (00:25:25.680)
his nephew?
Unknown Speaker (00:25:26.680)
Here's an interesting thing about democracy is if you don't treat it well, if you don't
Unknown Speaker (00:25:30.680)
do your job, especially if you're a representative in the Senate or the parliament or whatever,
Unknown Speaker (00:25:35.960)
you know, the whole thing can go awry because if you're always bickering and not agreeing
Unknown Speaker (00:25:40.680)
on things and doing the people's work who elected you, a tyrant will come in and take
Unknown Speaker (00:25:45.400)
over and do it for you because the people want to get the job done and they will tend
Unknown Speaker (00:25:49.920)
to go where the person who's got the most leadership is.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:54.920)
It seems like a warning about Trump.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:56.880)
Yeah, that's not wrong, that's not wrong.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:00.279)
I don't know if George Lucas was going around Cannes Film Festival yelling, they're false
Unknown Speaker (00:26:06.720)
flagging everybody!
Unknown Speaker (00:26:07.720)
Don't you get it?
Unknown Speaker (00:26:08.720)
My film shows this!
Unknown Speaker (00:26:10.279)
I'm pretty sure that that level-headed response to a question was actually him secretly screaming
Unknown Speaker (00:26:15.859)
on the inside, Bush did 9-11.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:18.119)
Alex can see through the bullshit, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:20.319)
I think all of those words that he said, if you take the first letter of each of them,
Unknown Speaker (00:26:25.039)
it spells out G.W. Bush did 9-11.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:27.759)
I'm pretty sure that's how that worked.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:29.759)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:30.759)
He's very clever, that George Lucas.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:32.400)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:33.400)
So Alex has, you know, obviously there's some feelings about Benghazi and there's some feelings
Unknown Speaker (00:26:40.599)
about various protests that are happening in the Middle East and countries like Yemen
Unknown Speaker (00:26:45.740)
and Egypt and it's interesting because at this point it's pretty soon after the actual
Unknown Speaker (00:26:53.079)
attack on Benghazi and so there isn't a developed narrative.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:58.519)
There isn't a lot of like, Clinton lied, people died, that kind of thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:02.640)
There's no...
Unknown Speaker (00:27:03.640)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:04.640)
And so at this point, all Alex has to go on really is discussing what is said to be the
Unknown Speaker (00:27:11.079)
inciting event of this, which is that movie that the trailer had come out of called Innocence
Unknown Speaker (00:27:17.799)
of Muslims.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:19.400)
And so Alex has some ideas about this, he thinks it's a false flag.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:22.240)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:23.240)
It's meant to get out of hand and now you've got this movie, there probably isn't even
Unknown Speaker (00:27:26.599)
a movie, Paul Watson's got an article on it, it's just a trailer, just like, what was it,
Unknown Speaker (00:27:31.279)
five years ago?
Unknown Speaker (00:27:32.279)
They had the Prophet Muhammad cartoons and all these neocon-controlled newspapers in
Unknown Speaker (00:27:36.799)
Europe ran it to antagonize the Muslims and sure, it's wrong that some of the Muslims
Unknown Speaker (00:27:42.440)
can't deal with free speech.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:44.160)
What?
Unknown Speaker (00:27:45.160)
That's not a debate I'm having, the point is it was meant to antagonize, it was artificially
Unknown Speaker (00:27:49.680)
done and now they're doing it again.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:52.559)
So this film that Alex is referring to, like I said, it's called Innocence of Muslims,
Unknown Speaker (00:27:56.960)
and although Alex is wrong about just about everything else, he's absolutely right that
Unknown Speaker (00:28:01.279)
that film was an intentional attempt to anger Muslims.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:04.119)
Oh, okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:05.119)
It was not the globalists who made it though, or the CIA, or whoever he wants to assign
Unknown Speaker (00:28:10.460)
blame to.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:11.460)
It was Rob Do.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:12.460)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:13.460)
The credit goes to an Egyptian Coptic Christian named Nakula Basile Nakula.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:18.839)
Nakula claimed that he was trying to make a film called Desert Warrior, which was presented
Unknown Speaker (00:28:23.880)
as a sort of past dystopian action-war adventure movie.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:28.079)
In the process of shooting this film, Nakula captured footage of actors that he then re-edited
Unknown Speaker (00:28:32.759)
and imagined as being figures from Islamic history through voiceovers.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:36.759)
The people acting in the film had no idea that they would be used this way and many
Unknown Speaker (00:28:40.240)
were pretty offended.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:41.440)
Yeah, that's not good.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:43.000)
There were outbreaks of protests in countries like Yemen and Egypt, kind of understandably,
Unknown Speaker (00:28:47.319)
after the trailer for this came out, because of its quite negative portrayal of Mohammed
Unknown Speaker (00:28:53.599)
and Muslims in general.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:55.240)
Initially, the attack on Benghazi was associated with the release of the trailer for this film,
Unknown Speaker (00:28:59.240)
but subsequent investigations have called that theory into question.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:02.359)
Nakula, the director of Innocence of Muslims, apparently had a pretty extensive criminal
Unknown Speaker (00:29:06.519)
history.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:07.519)
He was arrested in 1997 with possession of materials used to cook methamphetamines and
Unknown Speaker (00:29:13.960)
$45,000 in a paper bag.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:16.279)
He was charged with intent to manufacture methamphetamines.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:19.480)
Ah, well, you don't know what that $45,000 was for.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:22.920)
He pled guilty and was sentenced to a year in jail and a bit of probation, which he would
Unknown Speaker (00:29:26.559)
go on to violate in 2002 and get another year in prison.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:30.440)
Then in 2010, he, quote, pleaded no contest to federal bank fraud charges after being
Unknown Speaker (00:29:34.960)
indicted in a somewhat intricate scheme involving fake bank accounts created using stolen Social
Unknown Speaker (00:29:41.039)
Security numbers.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:42.680)
That one netted him 21 months in jail and fines amounting to about $790,000.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:47.000)
Damn!
Unknown Speaker (00:29:48.000)
That's a lot of paper bags.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:50.640)
Yeah, it is.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:51.640)
Anyway, when he got out of prison, he started working on the next scam, which was to defraud
Unknown Speaker (00:29:55.880)
actors into being in a film called Desert Warrior, which he would then re-edit to be
Unknown Speaker (00:29:59.559)
a movie that's specifically designed to anger Muslims.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:02.599)
Unfortunately, he tried to direct the film using an alias, Sam Basile.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:08.059)
Given that his most recent felony conviction had to do with using aliases to commit bank
Unknown Speaker (00:30:12.000)
accounts, one of the conditions of supervised release for him was that he couldn't use
Unknown Speaker (00:30:15.599)
aliases, which he definitely did in the making of this movie.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:20.000)
One job!
Unknown Speaker (00:30:21.000)
You've got one rule.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:22.400)
You just gotta put your name on the film, and you just can't do it.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:26.039)
Can't do it.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:27.039)
Can't do it.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:28.039)
So in late September 2012, Nakula was arrested again on eight charges of probation violations.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:33.039)
He reached a plea agreement where four of these violations were dropped, and then he
Unknown Speaker (00:30:36.200)
went back to prison for a year on the others.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:38.920)
None of the probation violations had to do with the content of the film that he made,
Unknown Speaker (00:30:42.839)
it was just the fraud that he used in order to make it.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:46.720)
Anyway, this movie was not the work of the globalists, it was an extreme anti-Islam agitator
Unknown Speaker (00:30:51.519)
with a rich history of felonies and frauds who did it, and Alex is pretending that it
Unknown Speaker (00:30:56.839)
was a false flag by the globalists in order to anger Muslims into causing violence in
Unknown Speaker (00:31:03.400)
foreign countries in order to justify crackdowns or whatever.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:06.279)
No, it was just a dude who hates Muslims.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:09.000)
It was just a guy who has a history of fraudulent behavior instigating shit against Muslims,
Unknown Speaker (00:31:15.359)
which I think Alex knows a lot of guys like that.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:19.359)
Perhaps almost exclusively guys like that.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:21.920)
He might not have known nearly as many in 2012, though.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:24.640)
Possible.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:25.640)
It does seem like he does not hate, and especially doesn't seem to think that Islam is a uniform
Unknown Speaker (00:31:32.900)
thing in 2012.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:34.440)
Interesting.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:35.440)
He talks about Shia-Sunni distinctions.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:37.000)
Oh, that's right!
Unknown Speaker (00:31:38.000)
I remember he did used to know about those differences.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:39.920)
And he does a bit on this episode, too.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:41.839)
Fascinating.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:42.839)
He talks about, like, oh, you're saying Al-Qaeda's working with Iran, that's nonsense, and that
Unknown Speaker (00:31:47.599)
kind of thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:48.599)
Really?
Unknown Speaker (00:31:49.599)
Yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:50.599)
That's wild.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:51.599)
He has at least some awareness of stuff that he doesn't in the present.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:54.400)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:55.400)
Conveniently.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:56.400)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:57.400)
So, this movie was made to antagonize, and that's correct, but Alex is wrong, again,
Unknown Speaker (00:32:02.680)
about everything else.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:04.240)
Is Muhammad movie a contrived fraud?
Unknown Speaker (00:32:06.640)
I've looked at it, yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:09.279)
I mean, the way they promote it going, rich Jews gave us five million to make this.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:14.640)
The way the press release is written, the way no one knows who's behind it, it's meant
Unknown Speaker (00:32:18.440)
to antagonize the Muslims.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:20.579)
So the claims that the film was financed by wealthy Jews came directly from Sam Basile,
Unknown Speaker (00:32:25.160)
which again, is the alias that Nakula used in order to create the movie.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:29.839)
Okay, so this guy is a real shitster.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:32.079)
Oh yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:33.079)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:34.079)
According to Hype Up the Film, Nakula had claimed that he wasn't Israeli, and that he'd
Unknown Speaker (00:32:37.880)
received five million dollars from quote, wealthy Jewish friends in order to make the
Unknown Speaker (00:32:41.920)
film.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:42.920)
But of course, that was all bullshit, and it's more lies coming from a guy whose chief
Unknown Speaker (00:32:46.200)
occupation seems to be lying.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:48.359)
Subsequent investigations uncovered that the film cost between 50 and 60 thousand dollars,
Unknown Speaker (00:32:52.559)
and that he'd received the money to make it from his wife's family who live in Egypt.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:56.400)
I wonder how they feel about the whole situation.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:58.599)
Probably not great now.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:59.599)
Probably not good now.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:00.599)
Nakula is taking at face value the claims of a con man, which he's then using to establish
Unknown Speaker (00:33:04.240)
his own conspiracy theory about the film that the con man was trying to make.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:09.000)
That's the fucking story of 2020 right there.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:11.480)
Man.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:12.480)
That's how we live now.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:14.180)
It's a nesting doll of bullshit.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:16.200)
Yeah, he takes the lies of a con man who happens to be the president, and packages them into
Unknown Speaker (00:33:20.799)
his own bullshit to resell, and then that sells back to the president, and it creates
Unknown Speaker (00:33:24.920)
a nice little fun feedback loop where we all die at the end.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:27.440)
It's very annoying.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:28.440)
It's great.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:29.440)
Alex believes that the CIA made this, and he's like, man, it's just a shame that these
Unknown Speaker (00:33:35.480)
Muslims are taking the bait.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:37.799)
It's meant to antagonize, you know, kind of their wild redneck version of Muslims to go
Unknown Speaker (00:33:43.039)
out and say, you're not going to insult my God.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:44.759)
I mean, it is pure manipulation, and the Muslims are taking the bait 110 percent.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:50.759)
Why doesn't Alex ever have this perspective when it comes to like the Satan temple trying
Unknown Speaker (00:33:55.299)
to put up a monument somewhere?
Unknown Speaker (00:33:57.000)
Oh, because that's the devil.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:58.960)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:59.960)
But you've got to fight the devil head on, Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:02.039)
You can't give the devil an inch.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:03.559)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:04.559)
He thinks that the Muslims are getting tricked because something sacrilegious to them is
Unknown Speaker (00:34:09.480)
being demonstrated.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:10.480)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:11.480)
Yeah, they're falling for it.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:12.480)
They're taking the bait.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:13.480)
They're falling for that.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:14.480)
Agent provocateurs.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:15.480)
It's the Satanist temple when they are actually-
Unknown Speaker (00:34:17.960)
That's because that's Satan, Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:19.239)
When the Satanist temple is actually fucking with you.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:22.039)
No, that's Satan.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:23.539)
He's tricking you by thinking that you'll be tricked into thinking that he's fucking
Unknown Speaker (00:34:27.599)
with you when this is actually a serious plan, Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:29.960)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:30.960)
I think that the goal of all this sort of thing is generally to make it look like any
Unknown Speaker (00:34:38.280)
complaint that's being levied by groups that Alex doesn't like is invalid.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:42.639)
They're all being tricked into doing it by this evil group that Alex fights against.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:47.679)
Yeah, he's removing agency from his enemies.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:50.800)
They're, again, not people in just a different way.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:53.960)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:54.960)
In a way for him to recontextualize what he experiences as hate, but he doesn't want other
Unknown Speaker (00:34:59.360)
people to.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:00.360)
Of course.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:01.360)
So, again, just to make it totally clear, he thinks that this is the CIA.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:06.000)
I mean, they're calling this, this was made with $5 million by rich Jews.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:11.760)
You could just see MI6, CIA, Mossad, I mean, I'm sure they were all involved in the production.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:18.480)
It may even be an outside merc group just laughing, here, how do we stir these people
Unknown Speaker (00:35:23.199)
up?
Unknown Speaker (00:35:24.199)
I mean, we got $5 million from rich Jews.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:26.199)
Meanwhile, they shot this on a blue screen, you know, on the back acres at Langley, Virginia.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:31.079)
I mean, this is such a low-budget piece of junk, $5 million my foot.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:35.880)
I mean, sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:36.880)
I mean, $5 million is a very exaggerated budget for this film to have had, but just baseless,
Unknown Speaker (00:35:43.559)
baseless wild accusations and claims that the CIA did this in Langley.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:48.599)
Nonsense.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:49.599)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:50.599)
Now, as a character, do we have anybody here who can make a really, really terrible film
Unknown Speaker (00:35:55.599)
that will piss off Muslims?
Unknown Speaker (00:35:56.960)
No?
Unknown Speaker (00:35:57.960)
We got to call Blackwater, then.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:58.960)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:59.960)
We need to hire an outside merc group in order to make our propaganda films.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:04.199)
Nonsense.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:05.199)
That sounds right.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:06.199)
So the problem is, you know, Americans are so dumb now.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:08.679)
They're dumb because we've been dumbed down because of TV.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:11.599)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:12.599)
TV is confusing people.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:13.599)
Wow, that's fair.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:14.599)
This is where, Alex, really, this falls apart pretty quick.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:17.559)
I've seen jaywalking episodes where people can't even find the U.S. on a world map that
Unknown Speaker (00:36:22.360)
doesn't have the name on it.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:23.360)
I mean, I mean, it is a joke.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:25.519)
It is a joke what this country's turned into, and it's television.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:29.519)
You turn on television, all of it is a destructive message.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:32.559)
The new normal.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:33.559)
And people are like, oh, don't you be anti-alternative lifestyle.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:37.840)
That isn't even on my radar screen.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:39.639)
But you know what?
Unknown Speaker (00:36:40.639)
My kids can't watch television because you want to confuse them.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:45.519)
Every time I turn the television on at night to see what's on, it's anti-male, anti-family,
Unknown Speaker (00:36:50.599)
pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-big government.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:54.159)
They're to screw people up, trying to make sure that people get confused, trying to make
Unknown Speaker (00:37:00.920)
sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:01.920)
And what did the government documents, Club of Rome and others said?
Unknown Speaker (00:37:04.280)
They said they would promote homosexuality and all this and end the family so no one
Unknown Speaker (00:37:10.000)
had families to stand together.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:12.059)
It seems like you're trying to make this a really broad, the media's tricking everybody
Unknown Speaker (00:37:18.280)
and stuff, but your focused complaint seems to be on you don't want your kids seeing people
Unknown Speaker (00:37:24.039)
who are LGBTQ and seeing them as normal people.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:27.400)
You don't want to see depictions of them as anything other than like...
Unknown Speaker (00:37:30.880)
Every time I turn on the TV, I see non-straight white males, and I don't understand why this
Unknown Speaker (00:37:36.840)
is happening.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:37.840)
I watch football, but only from before 1964.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:43.119)
That's how I do it.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:44.159)
That's the only way.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:45.559)
It seems like this is a real interesting, I'm being facetious.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:50.480)
It's not interesting at all, but ambitious, it's not really ambitious, but it's an attempt
Unknown Speaker (00:37:55.960)
to masquerade what is just like your discomfort with depictions of people who you are uncomfortable
Unknown Speaker (00:38:03.840)
with.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:04.840)
You're like, oh no, it's a bigger issue than that.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:06.280)
Yeah, it is annoying to hear arguments from fucking the late 1960s about how television's
Unknown Speaker (00:38:12.940)
going to ruin us all, repackage, just so you don't want to see a gay person.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:16.519)
You don't want to watch the new normal.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:17.880)
Yeah, exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:18.880)
So anyway, but Alex doesn't hate people for being gay or anything, I mean, come on.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:23.320)
I don't sit there and hate you because of what you do sexually.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:28.760)
I am angry at the globalist for going in and trying to program you and putting chemicals
Unknown Speaker (00:38:34.699)
in your food that in thousands of studies cause every mammal species to become bisexual.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:42.400)
Look, I don't hate you for being gay.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:44.920)
I mad at the globalist for making you gay.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:51.239)
I don't hate you for being gay.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:53.199)
I just can't acknowledge that there's any possibility you're a legitimate person and
Unknown Speaker (00:38:57.400)
not the creation of my ultimate enemy.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:59.280)
Right?
Unknown Speaker (00:39:00.280)
What is, what do you not understand?
Unknown Speaker (00:39:01.280)
It's not about you, which is an attack on my very masculinity and the structure of the
Unknown Speaker (00:39:06.440)
family.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:07.440)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:08.440)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:09.440)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:10.440)
I don't get it.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:11.440)
Look, I don't hate you for being gay.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:12.440)
I just refuse to believe that anyone is actually gay if they would just eat real food and not
Unknown Speaker (00:39:17.079)
watch TV.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:18.440)
Right?
Unknown Speaker (00:39:19.440)
Duh.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:20.440)
It's not that I hate you.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:21.679)
It's that I don't think you're a person.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:23.920)
I just think you're entirely invalid.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:26.719)
I have the ability to make choices about my own life and you don't and that's why I hate
Unknown Speaker (00:39:31.719)
the globalists and also you should be wiped off the face of the earth, but that's their
Unknown Speaker (00:39:35.559)
fault.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:36.559)
We got to restart and you got to go and we just got, it's cause of them.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:39.760)
It's a really strange, like, I mean that clip is only like 20 seconds long, but it's like,
Unknown Speaker (00:39:44.360)
I don't, I don't hate you for what you do sexually, but you're not a human being.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:52.639)
Your choices are basically just a automaton.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:56.280)
You're a gay bot.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:57.280)
Yeah, exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:58.280)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:59.280)
You've had a computer chip put into the base of your neck and now you're gay.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:02.039)
Why don't you understand that this is not your fault?
Unknown Speaker (00:40:04.239)
Very weird.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:05.239)
Very weird, Alex.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:06.239)
Uh, interesting line.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:07.619)
So Alex teases some news that's going to be coming up.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:10.559)
He's got some special reports and I got to say this, this is really fascinating to me.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:14.320)
We're not going to listen to any of it because it's boring as shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:16.840)
The field pieces that he has, he plays two of them.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:21.260)
They are so much more like local news than the stuff now is just like, yeah, Caitlin
Unknown Speaker (00:40:29.119)
Bennett or, or, uh, before she was gone, Millie Weaver going out and antagonizing people and
Unknown Speaker (00:40:34.880)
then like, oh, they threw something at me.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:36.760)
Why are all liberals stupid?
Unknown Speaker (00:40:38.159)
Why are you throwing things at me?
Unknown Speaker (00:40:39.639)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:40.639)
Right, right.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:41.639)
It's like that.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:42.639)
And you know, like I think, I think part of that, um, I don't know if it happened after
Unknown Speaker (00:40:46.360)
Owen Schroyer came around, but Owen Schroyer before he got hired was like making videos
Unknown Speaker (00:40:51.039)
of himself going to protests and yelling at people.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:53.320)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:54.320)
And I think some of that might've rubbed off and like, I also think that that is what draws
Unknown Speaker (00:40:58.480)
a lot of clicks.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:59.480)
I think that there was a lot of people who were like, this is more entertaining than
Unknown Speaker (00:41:02.579)
let's say Ja'Carri Jackson going out and actually getting sound of interviews on the street.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:09.639)
It was shocking to me the, uh, the field pieces actually having like interviews with people
Unknown Speaker (00:41:15.400)
on the street and like sound clips of, of, yeah, it was, it was weird.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:20.480)
They're boring.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:21.480)
Fascinating.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:22.480)
But, uh, one of them has to do with our buddy, Dr. Ron Paul.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:27.480)
Now coming up later in the broadcast, we have a special report.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:31.440)
Is Ron Paul going to run for governor of Texas?
Unknown Speaker (00:41:36.239)
Our very own reporter, David Ortiz is going to be investigating that.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:41.980)
It's not big poppy.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:43.480)
It's different David Ortiz.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:44.480)
I knew it wasn't him.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:45.960)
I knew it wasn't him.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:47.360)
Turns out Ron Paul, not going to run for governor.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:49.519)
He was still hitting 30 plus home runs a year at 2012.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:52.800)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:53.800)
So we have another, another report that Alex probably wants to pretend didn't happen.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:58.280)
And Dan Badandi goes out and talks to Americans on the streets of Austin about their knowledge
Unknown Speaker (00:42:04.280)
of the constitution.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:05.440)
All of that will air here on the broadcast today.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:08.679)
I didn't hear that one, but I imagine it's not nearly as professional.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:11.920)
The Kraken going out to, uh, asking people about the constitution.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:15.440)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:16.440)
What do you know about the constitution?
Unknown Speaker (00:42:18.920)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:19.920)
What do you know about the constitution?
Unknown Speaker (00:42:21.000)
I'm going to power bomb you.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:22.320)
I plead the fifth.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:23.320)
This is a question for you.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:24.320)
I'm not going to answer that question.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:25.880)
So Alex said at the beginning of this, that he was going to take calls, man, open phones.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:29.360)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:30.360)
And he did tease around a couple of times that he wants calls about his world war scenario
Unknown Speaker (00:42:35.719)
that he's playing out.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:36.719)
But he also said at the beginning, you can call in about whatever you want.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:39.800)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:40.800)
But I would prefer veiled threatening kind of definitely say you can call in about whatever
Unknown Speaker (00:42:45.960)
you want.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:46.960)
Open phone.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:47.960)
So here's the first call in Maine.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:51.159)
You're on the air.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:52.159)
Tim.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:53.159)
Welcome.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:54.159)
How you doing Alex?
Unknown Speaker (00:42:55.159)
Uh, first I'd like to say I'm a big fan.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:56.599)
I really enjoy your show and I have a suggestion, an idea, uh, that, uh, Ron Paul shouldn't
Unknown Speaker (00:43:05.679)
run for governor.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:07.539)
We should do a writing campaign.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:10.159)
You your listeners, everybody we can get in touch with, uh, just write Ron Paul's name
Unknown Speaker (00:43:15.360)
in and nothing else.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:18.019)
If we can't get him as president, it'll show him that we're not stupid.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:22.719)
We don't want to want your choices anymore.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:25.579)
We want our choices.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:26.579)
Not here yet.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:27.579)
Listen.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:28.579)
Uh, did you hear me ask callers what their take is on the attempt to start world war
Unknown Speaker (00:43:33.840)
three?
Unknown Speaker (00:43:34.840)
I did not.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:35.840)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:36.840)
I appreciate your call.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:37.840)
I appreciate that.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:39.280)
Again, we don't screen your calls, but sometimes I say, Hey, we're opening the phones up.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:43.599)
I said like five times, what's your take on the situation in the middle East?
Unknown Speaker (00:43:51.119)
Alex does not seem to want to talk about Ron Paul.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:55.199)
It doesn't seem like it.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:56.199)
That's weird for me because I've listened to his episodes after 2012 and he's loved
Unknown Speaker (00:44:01.300)
Ron Paul.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:02.300)
I've listened to episodes in 2008 and 2012 during the primaries and the election season
Unknown Speaker (00:44:07.440)
or he's gung ho on Ron Paul.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:09.679)
I know that before he loved Trump, he was pushing for Rand Paul in the 2016 election.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:14.719)
Indeed.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:15.719)
It seems very strange to me.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:17.440)
He's close with the whole, with the whole Paul family.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:19.840)
It's very weird to me that he doesn't want to talk about Ron Paul and I, thankfully he
Unknown Speaker (00:44:26.199)
doesn't let that be a mystery.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:27.519)
Okay, good.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:28.519)
Alex spends a lot of time complaining about Ron Paul on this episode.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:31.440)
I'm going to go back to your calls.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:33.000)
I'm not mad at the caller since you bring it up.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:35.199)
Let's just digress now.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:36.199)
Hell, we know nobody's going to call in about World War Three anyways, nobody cares about
Unknown Speaker (00:44:39.840)
that.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:41.440)
Here's the deal.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:42.920)
I initially, whenever Rand Paul endorsed Romney, enthusiastically got really upset and it was
Unknown Speaker (00:44:48.400)
because I'd watched Jesse Benton behind the scenes, not go after Romney.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:58.119)
And that's now been admitted by Doug Weed, you know, top of the campaign that that was
Unknown Speaker (00:45:02.840)
Jesse Benton's decision.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:05.039)
Jesse Benton can hardly talk folks, I'm not trying to be mean, it's just that, I mean,
Unknown Speaker (00:45:07.920)
he's not that smart.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:08.920)
It's interesting.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:09.920)
So we've got this Jesse Benton guy who worked on Ron Paul's campaign, who Alex seems to
Unknown Speaker (00:45:14.320)
be very mad at.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:15.320)
Hates him.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:16.320)
Hates him.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:17.320)
Um, and, and Alex is, it's his standard thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:20.119)
Like this person can't even talk, can't even barely talk.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:23.239)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:24.239)
That's, that's everybody he hates.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:26.199)
That's what he says about them.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:27.199)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:28.199)
Well, I mean, that's what he said about Hillary.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:29.199)
That's what he says about Biden.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:30.360)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:31.360)
I mean, his job, the only way he can measure success, I imagine is by his own ability.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:35.960)
So he can talk for three hours unabated.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:39.679)
I imagine that's, that's like, that would be your measuring stick, you know?
Unknown Speaker (00:45:43.400)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:44.400)
He can only talk an hour on my show is like, you're, you're 33% as good as me.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:48.559)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:49.559)
That's weird.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:50.559)
That is super weird.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:51.559)
It's just, it's, it seems like a guy who's got like one pitch.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:54.800)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:55.800)
One pitch and it's, I can't talk.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:57.920)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:58.920)
Can't talk.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:59.920)
He's dumb.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:00.920)
Can't make fun of your face.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:01.960)
Make fun of your talking.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:04.360)
Can't just like, he has bad ideas.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:06.480)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:07.480)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:08.480)
So Jesse Benton was working on the Paul's campaigns and he's run a foul of Alex somehow.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:14.519)
And this means Alex is done with the fucking Paul's man.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:18.119)
Really?
Unknown Speaker (00:46:19.119)
I've just got to be honest about this.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:20.280)
I'm done talking about Ron Paul.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:22.019)
I'm done talking about any of it.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:23.360)
I still think they're good guys overall.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:25.599)
I think, you know, Rand's doing some good work in the Senate overall.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:30.260)
But if people call in about Ron Paul, you're not going to get the responses you've got
Unknown Speaker (00:46:35.480)
from me in the past.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:36.480)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:37.480)
I just, you don't want to go there with me.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:40.239)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:41.239)
Because I know too much.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:42.800)
He knows too much.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:44.760)
About what?
Unknown Speaker (00:46:45.760)
This time.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:46.760)
This time.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:47.760)
Well, yeah, but you've always known too much.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:49.159)
What is it?
Unknown Speaker (00:46:50.159)
Yup.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:51.159)
I, I, this is, this is that, uh, things like, yeah, they're good.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:53.760)
You know, they're fine people, but it's not the same.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:56.159)
It'll never be the same as it once was, and it is the same, later.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:01.159)
Of course.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:02.159)
This is very weird.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:03.159)
He's just mad at this Jesse Benton guy.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:04.880)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:05.880)
Why is Paul involved with this?
Unknown Speaker (00:47:06.880)
I mean, I guess they hired him, but he's mad at everybody that anybody he likes hires,
Unknown Speaker (00:47:10.800)
because none of the people that he likes actually do the stuff that he thinks that they're going
Unknown Speaker (00:47:15.099)
to do.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:16.099)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:17.099)
So he blames everybody that works for them without ever realizing that those two, those
Unknown Speaker (00:47:21.000)
are one and the same, and that it's a pattern that happens all the time.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:24.639)
No, and one thing that's actually kind of interesting about this 2012 version of Alex
Unknown Speaker (00:47:28.039)
is that, like, he does wrestle with, like, I'm mad at this Jesse Benton.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:31.800)
I think he's a piece of shit, but I can't morally just blame him.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:36.000)
That's on Ron Paul too.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:37.920)
Like, he, he's going along with Benton.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:40.599)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:41.599)
And so, like, I'm deeply suspicious.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:44.000)
Something's up.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:45.000)
Well, especially considering we know, because it's 2020 as we're recording this, that, like,
Unknown Speaker (00:47:49.039)
Alex does not continue to hate- He can't even, he can't even control that
Unknown Speaker (00:47:52.039)
kind of feeling, that, that, like, that ability to be introspective about whether or not you
Unknown Speaker (00:47:56.960)
can support someone who hires people that you don't like.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:00.599)
Jesse Benton, though, is a villain.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:02.159)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:03.159)
See, I already said mean things about Jesse Benton.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:04.519)
He doesn't matter.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:05.519)
I said two weeks ago, you watch, he's going to go work for the mainline Republican party,
Unknown Speaker (00:48:08.880)
because I knew that from inside.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:10.880)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:11.880)
And now it's all over the news today that he's going to work for Mitch McConnell.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:15.940)
So Jesse Benton did go on to work for Mitch McConnell, and that-
Unknown Speaker (00:48:19.599)
I mean, fuck Jesse Benton, for sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:21.800)
But then, you know, kind of, there was a problem when he got convicted of, quote, arranging
Unknown Speaker (00:48:25.920)
for money to be funneled through a vendor to an influential Iowa state senator who dropped
Unknown Speaker (00:48:30.320)
his support for another Republican candidate in favor of Ron Paul.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:34.159)
There was a whole thing where Michelle Bachman had support from this state senator in Iowa,
Unknown Speaker (00:48:40.480)
and there was some monies that might have gone to him, and it looked like he got paid
Unknown Speaker (00:48:45.719)
to support Ron Paul.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:47.239)
Wow.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:48.239)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:49.239)
That's not something I'm going to go down for.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:50.840)
I'm not going to go down for trying to get Ron Paul anywhere.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:53.559)
Guess what?
Unknown Speaker (00:48:54.559)
Guess what?
Unknown Speaker (00:48:55.559)
Jesse Benton did.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:56.559)
Why would you do that?
Unknown Speaker (00:48:57.559)
So while serving as McConnell's campaign manager, Benton had a bit of chaos unrelated to felonies,
Unknown Speaker (00:49:02.920)
though.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:03.920)
There was a recording of him that got released where he was discussing how he had to, quote,
Unknown Speaker (00:49:08.199)
hold his nose for two years while working for McConnell in order to help ran Paul's
Unknown Speaker (00:49:12.440)
chances in 2016.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:14.920)
This tape was dubbed Nosegate, or Nosewater, and it became part of a campaign to attack
Unknown Speaker (00:49:19.780)
McConnell as not a true conservative in the 2014 GOP primary.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:24.880)
That was clearly an effective strategy, and we haven't heard anything about Mitch McConnell
Unknown Speaker (00:49:28.480)
since.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:29.480)
Yeah, especially not from his conservative bona fides.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:31.239)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:32.239)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:33.239)
The involvement of Jesse Benton in McConnell's campaign apparatus is seen by many as a crucial
Unknown Speaker (00:49:36.619)
element in creating a bit of an alliance between Mitch McConnell's mainstream GOP and the nutty
Unknown Speaker (00:49:41.320)
grassroots Tea Party followers of the Paul family.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:44.719)
Without whatever machinations probably took place behind the scenes, there's a decent
Unknown Speaker (00:49:48.280)
chance that McConnell would not be in office right now because he would have lost the support
Unknown Speaker (00:49:52.800)
of the Tea Party-esque folks that Jesse Benton helped bring along.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:58.199)
Do you know what it is?
Unknown Speaker (00:50:00.239)
It's a lot like, to me, like when a cop is caught planting evidence and then every case
Unknown Speaker (00:50:08.480)
that the cop worked on then has to be reexamined through the justice system.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:13.920)
Like if your campaign manager goes to jail, all campaigns should have to be like, let's
Unknown Speaker (00:50:19.400)
find out where the-
Unknown Speaker (00:50:20.400)
I don't think he actually went to jail.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:21.400)
Okay, fine.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:22.400)
But I get your point.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:23.400)
You know what I'm saying?
Unknown Speaker (00:50:24.400)
You can't just like wave your hands away and be like, hey, you know, you got away with
Unknown Speaker (00:50:29.800)
that one.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:30.800)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:31.800)
If he committed a crime for his state center for Ron Paul's failed campaign-
Unknown Speaker (00:50:36.119)
For the primaries.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:37.119)
Yeah, exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:38.119)
To get support away from Michelle Bachmann.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:40.480)
Do you think this guy is not going to cheat for the big times?
Unknown Speaker (00:50:44.239)
Come on.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:45.239)
Well, also I should tell you this, I don't know if this makes you feel any differently,
Unknown Speaker (00:50:48.920)
but Jesse Benton is technically Ron Paul's grandson since he's married to Ron Paul's
Unknown Speaker (00:50:53.800)
granddaughter.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:54.800)
Okay, great.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:55.800)
So he's a family.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:57.800)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:58.800)
Fine.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:59.800)
And just because this shit is always fun, in March 2016, it was announced that the Great
Unknown Speaker (00:51:02.800)
America PAC, a major Trump super PAC, had hired Jesse Benton as their chief strategist.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:09.000)
In an article about the hire, Doug Weed, who Alex already referenced earlier as a bigwig
Unknown Speaker (00:51:13.940)
in the Paul campaign said, quote, I think Jesse is one of the best political minds in
Unknown Speaker (00:51:18.000)
the country.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:19.000)
He understands the cross section of the insurgent outsider and the political establishment.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:23.960)
Then in October 2016, Jesse Benton was caught in a sting operation agreeing to launder $2
Unknown Speaker (00:51:29.059)
million in donations from a fake Chinese national donor through his consulting company, ultimately
Unknown Speaker (00:51:35.480)
with the money going to support Trump.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:37.380)
It is too easy to trap these people.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:40.000)
Do you know what it is?
Unknown Speaker (00:51:42.000)
This is evidence that the whole fucking apparatus is geared towards protecting conservatives
Unknown Speaker (00:51:47.840)
with a lot of money.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:49.059)
Because it feels like so far, based on every investigation that we've seen that has actually
Unknown Speaker (00:51:53.860)
taken down like a right wing operative, they have been filled with comical errors where
Unknown Speaker (00:51:58.219)
the guys just have to be like, okay, well, we're going to press record.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:01.840)
And then they're like, we love committing crimes.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:03.639)
I'm going to commit this crime.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:04.639)
You want to give me them?
Unknown Speaker (00:52:05.639)
We'll take that $2 million?
Unknown Speaker (00:52:06.639)
It's legal money.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:07.639)
Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:09.199)
It's too easy.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:10.579)
Just put your record button on your phone.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:14.199)
Every time you go see one of these guys, you'll hear them commit a crime.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:17.159)
Does seem like this dude has done a bit.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:20.699)
So Alex hates Jesse Benton because Jesse's actually involved in shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:25.360)
Benton's an asshole and a criminal, but he's actually in the mix in a way that Alex can
Unknown Speaker (00:52:28.960)
only pretend to be.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:30.579)
Jesse was in the Paul campaigns.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:32.280)
He worked to merge the mainline GOP and the Tea Party, and he was willing to commit crimes.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:36.599)
To support Trump and Ron Paul's campaign.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:39.599)
Very, very, very well.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:41.159)
Alex hates him because he's the real deal.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:43.619)
Very willing to commit crimes.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:44.699)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:45.699)
Oh boy.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:46.699)
But he did one thing that Alex cannot forgive.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:49.000)
You know, we've seen the video of it, Paul Fest, that was snubbed by the Pauls and everybody.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:58.920)
We've seen the footage where Peter Schiff shows people the text from Jesse Benton saying
Unknown Speaker (00:53:04.539)
don't go to Paul Fest, it's extremist.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:07.719)
And that's what I can't handle.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:08.960)
It's one thing if the Pauls kind of get married off of the Republican establishment and try
Unknown Speaker (00:53:13.659)
to influence it towards libertarianism and freedom in some way.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:17.119)
I get all that to a certain extent.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:18.739)
You can debate it either way.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:20.239)
But Jesse Benton talking and acting like Southern Poverty Law Center or ADL and the things I've
Unknown Speaker (00:53:28.500)
known have gone on behind the scenes the last few years and all the things that happened.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:36.760)
It's just very sad to see, after all this great work Ron Paul's done and that we've
Unknown Speaker (00:53:41.519)
done supporting him, patriots out there, to just kind of see Campaign for Liberty and
Unknown Speaker (00:53:46.599)
the whole political list of donors, because I now get solicitations from neocons.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:52.780)
The list is out there.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:54.280)
This is what it's actually about.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:56.519)
But it's interesting because I don't know if this Jesse Benton told Ron Paul that Paul
Unknown Speaker (00:54:02.719)
Fest is full of extremists or whatever, but if I were in Benton's position and I viewed
Unknown Speaker (00:54:09.280)
myself as a competent strategist, I would say do not go there.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:12.400)
Hey buddy, that place is filled with extremists.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:14.280)
I wouldn't say extremists necessarily, but I'd be like, hey, that looks bad.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:20.639)
Don't go to that.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:22.159)
I watched a video of a rapper at Paul Fest rapping in a giant room that is maybe one
Unknown Speaker (00:54:29.280)
eighth full and he's wearing an American flag t-shirt and it's embarrassing.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:35.639)
I don't think it would serve Ron Paul's interests, even if he's not running for president anymore.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:40.440)
I still think it would look bad.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:42.800)
I would advise him against going to that as well.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:45.440)
I would advise everybody against going against that.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:47.800)
Unless you're going on some kind of Hunter S. Thompson-esque, like you're doing a bunch
Unknown Speaker (00:54:51.519)
of drugs and reporting on the soul of Paul Fest.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:55.519)
You might lose this one, though.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:58.039)
You might not wake up after this one.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:00.159)
So Alex, it comes down to, he believes that Jesse Benton is being brought into the McConnell
Unknown Speaker (00:55:07.659)
campaign because he has the donor list from the Paul campaign, and that very well may
Unknown Speaker (00:55:13.159)
be the case.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:14.159)
Alex got a text for money and he didn't like it because it wasn't...
Unknown Speaker (00:55:16.960)
Probably.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:17.960)
Yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:18.960)
I mean, there is some reality to stuff like this.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:20.760)
I don't know how much it permeates the world of higher politics in this way, but I do know
Unknown Speaker (00:55:25.800)
that from working as a producer of shows here in Chicago, that people who produce shows
Unknown Speaker (00:55:32.199)
would cultivate email lists that they would be able to use to promote their shows and
Unknown Speaker (00:55:37.360)
things like that, and those were highly valued commodities.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:42.119)
People would talk about other producers who had giant lists that they put together, and
Unknown Speaker (00:55:49.119)
it is something that has capital in...
Unknown Speaker (00:55:51.840)
Oh no, the Sanders mailing list after he dropped out in 2016 was incredibly valuable to Hillary
Unknown Speaker (00:56:00.400)
and them.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:01.400)
Now, the extent to which one person has control over it, I don't know, but the idea that McConnell
Unknown Speaker (00:56:08.599)
would bring in Jesse Benton, saying it's just for this list seems reductive, but what Alex
Unknown Speaker (00:56:18.800)
is trying to actually say, which is he wants you, that McConnell wants your support, and
Unknown Speaker (00:56:26.360)
he's selling you, Benton's selling you to McConnell or whatever.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:30.360)
There's kind of a spiritual truth to that a little bit, and I think Alex resents that.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:34.639)
I think he takes it very personally because he owns Ron Paul, goddammit.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:40.679)
Ron Paul has said that his money bombs, most of the support is from Info Wars people.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:47.599)
Alex made Ron Paul.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:49.480)
Wayne Paul was in a documentary that Alex put out, so I think that he's taking this
Unknown Speaker (00:56:54.519)
really, really personally.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:55.519)
I can see that.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:56.519)
Mitch McConnell hires Ron Paul aid to run his campaign.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:01.800)
We're committed to running a presidential level campaign in Kentucky, and that starts
Unknown Speaker (00:57:05.000)
with a presidential campaign manager.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:06.880)
McConnell said in a statement, Jesse is literally the best in the business at building an organization,
Unknown Speaker (00:57:11.440)
conservative grassroots movement.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:12.440)
No, he's not.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:13.440)
He's the best at going on my show and other libertarian and constitutional shows and getting
Unknown Speaker (00:57:18.519)
our money and our support.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:20.559)
And now he's taking that list over to the Republican Party and Mitch McConnell.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:24.119)
That's what went on.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:25.119)
Now I'm done talking about this, and I'm not going to talk about Ron Paul anymore.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:29.239)
When people call him with stars in their eyes, I'm about to throw up on the radio, okay?
Unknown Speaker (00:57:33.559)
So just please don't do it.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:36.719)
Don't do it.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:37.719)
In fact, I know a lot more folks, and I'm not going there.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:40.800)
Ron Paul shoves ISIS up your dirty asshole.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:42.880)
Jesus.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:43.880)
Tell me what you know.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:44.880)
Ron Paul shoves Mitch McConnell up your dirty asshole.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:46.920)
Right?
Unknown Speaker (00:57:47.920)
What are you doing?
Unknown Speaker (00:57:48.920)
What are you doing?
Unknown Speaker (00:57:49.920)
If he was drunk, that's how this would sound, probably.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:52.119)
Yeah, it is nice to see he's still professional back then to the point where he's mad, but
Unknown Speaker (00:57:57.519)
he's not throwing a drunk tantrum.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:59.679)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:00.679)
This can come off as like, I mean, if you look at it and you think about it a little
Unknown Speaker (00:58:05.360)
bit, it is a little bit petty.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:07.480)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:08.480)
But at the same time, the pettiness has underpinnings of some ideological something to it, some
Unknown Speaker (00:58:15.639)
betrayal.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:16.639)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:18.639)
I agree with him.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:21.360)
There's a part of me that's like, you understand how these people work, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:58:27.199)
You know, like this guy's job is to sell your information to many different people, any
Unknown Speaker (00:58:31.920)
of whom might buy it or not.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:33.480)
He doesn't care.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:35.079)
It's his job.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:36.079)
He's not going to run a campaign for Mitch McConnell or he's going to run a campaign
Unknown Speaker (00:58:38.480)
for Ron Paul.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:39.480)
He doesn't give a shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:40.480)
And we know from Nosegate that this dude, Jesse Benton, even when he was working for
Unknown Speaker (00:58:46.599)
McConnell was privately indicating that he thought it was the best thing to do to help
Unknown Speaker (00:58:50.920)
Rand Paul in 2016.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:51.920)
He's Ron Paul's grandson.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:52.920)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:53.920)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:54.920)
This guy's still on the team, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:57.000)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:58.000)
There's an argument that could be made that Alex is taking like an incredibly narrow view
Unknown Speaker (00:59:02.320)
of this, but which is something that people don't say about Alex, but it's just really
Unknown Speaker (00:59:10.360)
funny to hear him say stuff like this.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:13.519)
The Paul's got starstruck.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:14.880)
Ron Paul got old, whatever.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:17.360)
They sailed off in the sunset and they're hooked up with the Republican Party.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:22.280)
And Jesse Benton is a genius.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:24.619)
And I'm an extremist.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:25.619)
OK.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:26.619)
And you're an extremist.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:27.619)
And all those families at Paul Fester scum.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:29.920)
I'm going to stand with those families, OK?
Unknown Speaker (00:59:32.440)
OK.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:33.440)
That's who I'm with.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:34.440)
I'm with the American people, not with Mitch McConnell.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:36.440)
We'll be right back.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:37.440)
I'm not going to crawl up his rear end.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:40.760)
You will.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:41.760)
Oh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:42.760)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:43.760)
It's going to be a long crawl.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:44.760)
You're going to get all the way up there.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:46.400)
Oh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:47.400)
Oh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:48.400)
Huh.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:49.400)
It's interesting because like what Alex is talking about is like, I'm with these Ron
Unknown Speaker (00:59:54.159)
Paul families and all this stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:56.039)
I'm not with the GOP.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:58.320)
But because of the work that people like Jesse Benton did and the people who worked to merge
Unknown Speaker (01:00:03.239)
the GOP and the fringe Tea Party stuff, that is the work, the hard work that enabled Alex
Unknown Speaker (01:00:11.280)
to now pretend that he's not doing that.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:15.159)
His fringe weirdos have taken over the GOP.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:19.519)
So that's one of those ways in which I'm like, Alex hates the guy who's doing the thing that
Unknown Speaker (01:00:24.079)
he pretends to do.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:25.079)
He doesn't like the long game.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:27.019)
The long game is very hard and it involves plans and like all kinds of things.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:32.679)
It's funny how brilliant he sees the globalists are and how their plans are infinitely long
Unknown Speaker (01:00:38.559)
and thousands of years and obviously the devil is running them and all this stuff.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:43.000)
But anybody on his team who has a plan that lasts longer than like scream for a bit, he's
Unknown Speaker (01:00:47.440)
like, no.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:48.440)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:49.440)
I hate you.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:50.440)
Yup.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:51.440)
Oh, boy.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:52.440)
So, Alex, like, I mean, I think that he's making some fair critiques of the polls.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:59.599)
One of them is that they pretended to be more serious about their chances in order to make
Unknown Speaker (01:01:04.960)
money.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:05.960)
That's fair.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:06.960)
But if somebody I don't know does me wrong, it's not personal.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:10.519)
I don't get upset.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:11.519)
That's just life.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:13.239)
When we've worked and been passionate and defended and done so much for someone and
Unknown Speaker (01:01:20.920)
to watch them really turn their back on the liberty movement.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:27.880)
But rope a dope, keep everybody going along like he was going to be president when Rand
Unknown Speaker (01:01:32.800)
was already announcing, you know, five months ago that it was a done deal.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:36.639)
Last time he was on this show that, you know, that, you know, things had already been decided.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:42.079)
It was it was all just an exercise in capitalizing on a political list and raising money.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:48.920)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:49.920)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:50.920)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:51.920)
Buddy.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:52.920)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:53.920)
Wow.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:54.920)
Man, it's weird to realize that I was more jaded eight years ago than Alex was towards
Unknown Speaker (01:02:03.400)
the political process.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:05.320)
Somehow I was like, oh, man, we got Obama in.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:08.199)
And then a year later, I was like, oh, shit, this whole thing is a lie.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:12.920)
Everyone's full of shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:14.800)
He's not going to do fuck all.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:16.719)
Tim Geithner, all that shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:18.960)
And even if everything isn't a lie, there are still just sort of realities of intricacies
Unknown Speaker (01:02:25.539)
and complicated ways in which things can be done that maybe you can't capture in a campaign.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:33.039)
There's disappointments that aren't necessarily deceit.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:36.480)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:37.880)
Alex is realizing that Ron Paul was fundraising.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:40.760)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:41.760)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:42.760)
Wow.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:43.760)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:44.760)
Good work, buddy.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:45.760)
So he doesn't want really thought Andrew Yang had a chance to be the Democratic nominee.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:47.360)
I think he really had the chance.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:48.840)
So he doesn't want out Ron on the show anymore.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:51.719)
Oh, sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:52.719)
So the Ron Paul revolution had to get derailed to a great extent because some punk married
Unknown Speaker (01:02:59.280)
Ron Paul's granddaughter.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:00.280)
I'm done.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:01.559)
Don't call my show folks about Ron Paul.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:03.480)
I don't ever want to hear about him again.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:05.280)
OK, we don't ask him on the show.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:07.000)
We don't want him on the show.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:08.280)
Go hang out, hang out with your Republicans, because Ron Paul, I know you know about all
Unknown Speaker (01:03:13.360)
this.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:14.360)
I don't want just I'm done.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:15.900)
You don't want us.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:16.900)
We don't want you.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:19.079)
We don't need you.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:20.480)
Oh, boy.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:21.980)
It's so petulant.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:24.559)
It's a whiny little baby.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:26.039)
It's really annoying.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:27.039)
You want to play with Jesse Benton?
Unknown Speaker (01:03:29.280)
You know what?
Unknown Speaker (01:03:30.280)
I'm done with you.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:31.280)
I'll never do anything for you again except for support you in your and every presidential
Unknown Speaker (01:03:36.659)
campaign for the rest of my life.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:38.639)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:39.639)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:40.639)
So Rand Paul is going to get some buckshot here, too.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:42.239)
You know, Rand Paul would talk about the Bilderberg group on my show.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:44.699)
Now when he's asked about it, he won't talk about it because he has parties with Bilderberg
Unknown Speaker (01:03:48.000)
members like Peter Thiel.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:51.599)
And OK, all right, I get it, that guy says he's a libertarian, so when billions of bucks
Unknown Speaker (01:03:56.800)
comes along, people tend to want to be nice to him.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:59.079)
But it's just like, I don't want to go there.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:00.760)
I have bigger things to discuss, like Trump's connections with Peter Thiel.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:04.639)
No, no, no, no, no.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:05.639)
Don't worry about it.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:06.639)
Don't worry about it.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:07.800)
I can't imagine being where Alex is right now and having somebody like play him an episode
Unknown Speaker (01:04:13.639)
from back then.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:14.639)
Yeah, it's parody.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:15.639)
And not having like, if it was me, I would listen to myself talk and either like have
Unknown Speaker (01:04:20.400)
a complete meltdown or be like, you know what?
Unknown Speaker (01:04:23.380)
I liked that guy way more.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:25.199)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:26.199)
I'm going to go do that guy again.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:27.199)
Fuck me.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:28.199)
I would have to be like, I would need a redoubt.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:31.300)
I'd need a like an island fortress to flee to after hearing these old things of myself.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:39.239)
Oh my God.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:40.239)
Oh my God.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:41.239)
What have I become?
Unknown Speaker (01:04:43.280)
So Alex gets around to having Jesse on and Mike down for this because it's very, very
Unknown Speaker (01:04:47.920)
familiar how this begins.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:50.780)
And then we'll also get into his take on the new world order being announced openly.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:55.159)
We're going to play some clips of the news, saying that and get his take on 2012 and all
Unknown Speaker (01:04:59.920)
this hubbub.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:00.920)
Jesse, great to have you back with us.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:04.480)
We just had him and I think we lost him.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:12.559)
Go ahead and get him back on.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:13.559)
That phone line's been dropping.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:14.559)
Go ahead and get him back on.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:16.199)
That was a, that was a good buildup and then not have the guests there.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:19.780)
These phone lines are weird.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:21.039)
Sure are.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:22.039)
Sure are weird.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:23.440)
How many years can you handle that many phone mishaps?
Unknown Speaker (01:05:26.280)
Eight years of just constant like...
Unknown Speaker (01:05:29.679)
Nonstop.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:30.679)
Well, no way to fix this.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:32.039)
Well, I guess we'll just have to cross our fingers and hope it works tomorrow.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:36.519)
I got to say, I mean like this is one of the only shows where this is such a constant problem.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:41.239)
Nonstop.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:42.239)
Nonstop broadcasts seem to have these kinds of things ironed out fairly well, particularly
Unknown Speaker (01:05:47.920)
with like guests who maybe used to be the governor of a state.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:51.480)
You know, and it's noticeable whenever somebody with a professional show has a call drop.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:56.360)
Everybody like the whole show kind of halts.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:58.519)
Everybody's like, oh no, this is a nightmare.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:01.840)
Not like, well, this is a, this is Wednesday.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:06.800)
This is the third time we've had this happen.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:09.480)
Yes, the phones are weird near MSNBC.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:12.840)
It doesn't anger him nearly as much at this point though.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:15.039)
Oh, that's true.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:16.039)
But I mean...
Unknown Speaker (01:06:17.039)
Oh, it doesn't have eight years to build up on it.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:19.039)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:20.039)
So Jesse comes on and I've noticed this thing and I mean it shouldn't be too surprising
Unknown Speaker (01:06:24.280)
since he, you know, thinks talking to Alex is a good idea, but I end up losing respect
Unknown Speaker (01:06:30.159)
for Jesse every time I hear him.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:32.960)
Like I think he's one of these guys who benefits from people having a picture of him in their
Unknown Speaker (01:06:38.000)
head.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:39.000)
Not based on reality.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:40.000)
No, no, no.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:41.000)
Like if you just think that he's a guy who likes weed and doesn't like spying and thinks
Unknown Speaker (01:06:45.920)
that both parties suck.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:47.639)
If you just think that, then you could be like, yeah, fuck yeah, Ventura.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:52.320)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:53.320)
You didn't like special interests when you were the governor.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:55.199)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:56.199)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:57.199)
You were great in predator or whatever.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:58.199)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:59.199)
We all love Adomian's impression of you.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:00.599)
Love it.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:01.599)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:02.599)
That's great.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:03.599)
But then when you start to get into like more specifics and you're like, oh wait, you suck.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:07.599)
And there's where I stand with Ron Paul completely.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:11.559)
We need to cut off foreign aid to any foreign country and we need to do it for not only
Unknown Speaker (01:07:16.840)
those reasons, but the economic reasons.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:20.119)
Alex, our country's broke.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:22.519)
So yeah, cut off all foreign aid like Ron Paul wants.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:25.599)
That's great.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:26.599)
That's a great, it's a great, realistic consequence free kind of idea, Dick.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:31.599)
You know, I say a lot of, I talk a lot of shit, Dan.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:35.599)
I talk a lot of shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:36.599)
I have a lot of bad ideas.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:37.960)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:38.960)
But I don't hold onto those bad ideas, you know?
Unknown Speaker (01:07:41.960)
Whenever this stuff happens, whenever I'm, it's like, eh, we should cut off all foreign
Unknown Speaker (01:07:45.760)
aid.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:46.760)
They keep saying that.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:47.760)
It's never pointed out to them like five minutes later.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:50.079)
Policy for them.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:51.400)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:52.400)
Like, no, if I said we should cut off all foreign aid to you, you'd be like, okay, well,
Unknown Speaker (01:07:56.280)
here's what would happen.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:57.280)
And I go, ooh, that's a bad idea.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:58.800)
Let's not do that.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:59.800)
As someone who's worked with you for a number of years, I can vouch that typically when one
Unknown Speaker (01:08:05.219)
of your ideas is shown to be bad, you're like, well, that was a bad idea.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:08.000)
Then you move on.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:09.000)
That was a bad idea.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:10.000)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:11.000)
I have bad ideas.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:12.119)
Not so much these Jesse Ron Paul types.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:15.039)
It might be one of our big differences, I think, between me and most of the right wing.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:19.840)
Jesse Ventura.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:20.840)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:21.840)
Although he would not be on the right.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:22.840)
Because he thinks that there are Democrats and Republicans.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:26.319)
And look, I mean, it would be wrong to say that everything that Jesse brings up is dumb
Unknown Speaker (01:08:34.279)
or bad.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:35.279)
But, I mean, advocating cutting off all foreign aid is something that's pretty tough to balance
Unknown Speaker (01:08:41.039)
the scales on.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:42.039)
Like, if you believe that, it's going to take a whole lot of good opinions, maybe an impossible
Unknown Speaker (01:08:47.640)
number of good opinions.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:49.279)
I think we should stop world hunger, and I think we should cut off all foreign aid.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:53.079)
I don't think those two work well together.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:55.039)
Well, but like I said, it would be dishonest if I didn't say that he actually has some
Unknown Speaker (01:08:59.079)
good points.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:00.079)
And one of them is that, yeah, you can complain about Obama a ton, but a lot of what you're
Unknown Speaker (01:09:04.260)
complaining about is the remnant of things that were done during Bush.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:08.079)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:09.079)
And Alex, because he's talking to a high status individual, agrees.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:12.880)
Our idiot memories of the people of this country, they can't think back that far.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:17.079)
You know, they got about a year that they can remember.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:20.000)
And they don't realize that it was Bush that did the first bailout.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:23.760)
It was Bush that started all the wars.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:26.399)
People need to understand this, and I speak from experience here.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:29.439)
Yeah, on the economy, it's decisions made about four years ago that affect it today.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:36.279)
So when the economy went sour in 2008, it was decisions made back in 2003, 4, and 5
Unknown Speaker (01:09:43.880)
that caused that to happen in 08.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:46.000)
It does not happen overnight, because it's so big and large that it takes about three
Unknown Speaker (01:09:51.640)
years or four years for decisions to have their impact on the economy.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:56.680)
Well, I agree with you.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:59.199)
Do you?
Unknown Speaker (01:10:00.199)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:01.199)
That's interesting, because now, whenever Trump does something, the week later, he saved
Unknown Speaker (01:10:06.319)
the economy.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:07.319)
Yeah, yeah, he did.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:08.319)
He saved it.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:09.319)
And all the stuff that happened during Obama's years, Trump actually did that before Obama
Unknown Speaker (01:10:14.680)
was president.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:15.680)
Totally.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:16.680)
So Alex asks Jesse, because the interview kind of becomes a little bit weird, because
Unknown Speaker (01:10:21.199)
Jesse's being like, yeah, why would you vote for the Republican candidate?
Unknown Speaker (01:10:26.000)
Like, they are the ones who started these wars, and the first bailout that everyone's
Unknown Speaker (01:10:32.039)
so against.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:33.039)
Good point.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:34.039)
Ruining the economy is the work of the policies that were put in place.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:37.260)
So everybody's complaining about the economy, and they're thinking they're going to vote
Unknown Speaker (01:10:40.439)
for Romney.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:41.439)
That doesn't make sense.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:42.439)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:43.439)
You know, you don't want to vote for Obama.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:44.439)
You should vote for a third party person.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:45.699)
That's a serious train of thought that someone can have, yes.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:48.079)
Yeah, and Alex has a difficulty with it, because at the end of the day, he's like, maybe he
Unknown Speaker (01:10:53.659)
hates Romney, but he's an anti-left show.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:57.079)
He's an anti-Democrat show.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:59.439)
And so he can't really, you know, he wants to get onto other topics, and he's like, yeah,
Unknown Speaker (01:11:03.640)
what's going on?
Unknown Speaker (01:11:04.640)
What do you think the big bad guys are going to do?
Unknown Speaker (01:11:07.699)
They've got TSA now in all 50 states on the highways, train stations and bus stations
Unknown Speaker (01:11:12.039)
starting to pop up.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:14.119)
We've got the military admitting they're preparing for civil unrest.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:19.140)
What do you think they're gearing up for?
Unknown Speaker (01:11:22.359)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:23.359)
Obviously, something very bad, and we'll transition to my TV show now, if we may, which will tie
Unknown Speaker (01:11:29.279)
into this.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:30.279)
The new season starts November 7th, 10 Eastern, 9 Central on TruTV.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:36.960)
And one of the interesting shows we show you this year is in Ozark, Missouri.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:41.920)
There's a complete underground city.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:43.779)
We discovered it.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:47.199)
And I've really wanted to investigate that.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:49.199)
I'm glad you guys did.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:51.720)
That was a jarring transition to promotion.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:56.279)
I'm glad you brought that up, Dan.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:59.239)
And we're going to continue talking about this on my new show on TruTV, Wednesday, 9,
Unknown Speaker (01:12:04.239)
8 Central.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:05.239)
What do the globalists have planned?
Unknown Speaker (01:12:06.960)
They have a lot of bad things they're going to do.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:08.960)
Well, I'd like to tell you about my new season of Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura, which
Unknown Speaker (01:12:14.079)
you are on.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:15.079)
I do like that as a response to a really terrible, dumb question.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:18.760)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:19.760)
Yeah, I like that.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:20.760)
So there's an underground city in Ozark, Missouri.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:23.840)
Is there?
Unknown Speaker (01:12:24.840)
There's barely an above-ground city.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:29.039)
So I remember this episode.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:32.119)
I saw this episode of Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura, which is, I mean, that's a
Unknown Speaker (01:12:37.239)
good show if you want to get high and go like, ooh.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:42.000)
It's not a good show as a whole, though.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:44.319)
If you want information, it's not great.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:46.500)
And I think one of the things you can tell is like, right here, it's like, okay, go fuck
Unknown Speaker (01:12:49.840)
yourself, Jesse.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:50.840)
Well, one of the interesting things, here's an interesting thing we found out in Ozark,
Unknown Speaker (01:12:56.640)
Missouri.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:57.640)
Now, the only new construction there, except for this big 72,000 square foot single family
Unknown Speaker (01:13:03.760)
dwelling on top of the hill that led us there, that's another story.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:09.239)
But the only new things happening in this little town in Missouri is the only thing
Unknown Speaker (01:13:14.479)
being built are banks, tons of banks.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:18.180)
And we found the statistics.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:19.180)
And it goes something like this.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:22.640)
There's one bank for every 11,000 people in New York City.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:27.039)
There's one bank for every 9,000 people in Los Angeles.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:31.199)
In Ozark, Missouri, there's now one bank for every 51 people.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:36.399)
Incredible.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:37.399)
Incredible.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:38.399)
Is it?
Unknown Speaker (01:13:39.399)
That's ludicrous.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:40.399)
Is it incredible?
Unknown Speaker (01:13:41.399)
It doesn't feel incredible to me.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:42.600)
The population of Ozark, Missouri is approximately 17,800.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:46.600)
So if there's one bank per 50 persons, that's about 350 banks in that town, which is comical.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:52.739)
That seems like a lot of infrastructure going to waste.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:55.640)
One of the things I can tell you as a former Missourian is that outsiders often use the
Unknown Speaker (01:14:00.159)
word Ozark weirdly.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:02.199)
For one thing, there's that city called Ozark.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:04.359)
But there's also a separate county called Ozark County.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:07.699)
On top of that, there's a big reservoir called the Lake of the Ozarks in the center of the
Unknown Speaker (01:14:11.800)
state, which has an adjacent city called Lake Ozark.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:14.699)
This is because the lower half of the state of Missouri and part of Arkansas is covered
Unknown Speaker (01:14:18.560)
by an expanse of the Ozark Mountains, which have been really instrumental in defining
Unknown Speaker (01:14:22.560)
the culture of those areas in the Midwest.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:25.600)
Oftentimes the term of the Ozarks is used to describe the lower half of the state of
Unknown Speaker (01:14:29.640)
Missouri, but that term really has no administrative or border significance.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:34.239)
It very well might be that what's going on here is that Jesse's taken the number of banks
Unknown Speaker (01:14:38.479)
in the Ozark region and compared it to the population of the city that's called Ozark,
Unknown Speaker (01:14:43.819)
and then decided that a small town in Missouri mysteriously has 350 banks.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:48.000)
That would make sense.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:49.119)
Or it's possible that, like, throughout the southern half of Missouri, there's one bank
Unknown Speaker (01:14:53.319)
per 51 people because there could be a bank in a city that's got, like, no population.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:58.840)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:59.840)
Basically, like a farmer's bank or something, you know, like, that don't...
Unknown Speaker (01:15:03.479)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:04.479)
I grew up in a town of 7,000, and I'm trying to think of, that's, you know, a little under
Unknown Speaker (01:15:09.520)
half.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:10.520)
Mm-hmm.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:11.520)
But, man, I don't even know if there were 350 total, like, civic buildings, period.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:17.520)
Yeah, I don't...
Unknown Speaker (01:15:18.520)
You know, outside of homes and shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:19.720)
I'm not entirely positive that I would be comfortable saying that there's, like, 350
Unknown Speaker (01:15:25.199)
banks in the, like, bottom half of Missouri.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:27.479)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:28.479)
Or whatever.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:29.479)
That seems maybe even, like, a wonky statistic.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:31.960)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:32.960)
But, like, the idea that this town, Ozark, Missouri, has 350 banks, ridiculous.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:38.479)
That's a real tulip situation.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:40.159)
It's ridiculous.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:41.159)
I mean, we only sell banks here.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:43.680)
So why would there be that many banks?
Unknown Speaker (01:15:45.880)
Why would there be that many banks?
Unknown Speaker (01:15:46.880)
What possible reason could there be to overwhelm a small town with bank branches?
Unknown Speaker (01:15:51.399)
What conspiracy is he even hinting at?
Unknown Speaker (01:15:54.039)
I suspect that what he's getting at is that there's this underground city, which is the
Unknown Speaker (01:15:57.640)
people who these new banks are serving, but this doesn't make sense at all.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:01.260)
Why would the underground people need to go to the surface to bank?
Unknown Speaker (01:16:03.960)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:04.960)
They could do all that digitally.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:05.960)
So that's kind of the angle that we're here on?
Unknown Speaker (01:16:08.399)
I think.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:09.399)
Because they're building all these banks, and isn't that suspicious, who's using those
Unknown Speaker (01:16:13.560)
banks?
Unknown Speaker (01:16:14.560)
Where are all those people going?
Unknown Speaker (01:16:15.560)
They must be underground.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:17.279)
I think.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:18.359)
That is a train of thought that I would not have expected.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:21.079)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:22.079)
Well, because it makes...
Unknown Speaker (01:16:23.079)
But I'm just guessing that that's the conspiracy.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:25.920)
It's silly.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:26.920)
Old people, rise to the surface world, we must make a withdrawal.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:30.960)
It's silly.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:31.960)
It's legitimately dumb.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:33.600)
Like, okay, let's imagine that they... okay, so, look, they have an ATM down there.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:41.159)
They could have an ATM down in the underground city, but it would run out of bills, eventually,
Unknown Speaker (01:16:46.039)
right?
Unknown Speaker (01:16:47.039)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:48.039)
Why can't you get a Brinks truck to go to the underground city?
Unknown Speaker (01:16:50.319)
Why can't you just dig a hole and drop it down?
Unknown Speaker (01:16:52.560)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:53.560)
Why not?
Unknown Speaker (01:16:54.560)
Or...
Unknown Speaker (01:16:55.560)
I would like to make a withdrawal, please.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:56.560)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:57.560)
Can I have an address?
Unknown Speaker (01:16:58.560)
Below you.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:59.560)
Hey, buddy, guess what?
Unknown Speaker (01:17:00.560)
This is a secret underground city.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:02.039)
They don't need money.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:05.020)
They could have everything digital and it'd be totally fine.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:09.319)
There's no reason to have bills down there.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:12.520)
There's no reason for change.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:14.720)
We have the capability of building a perfect underground city, self-sustaining, but where
Unknown Speaker (01:17:21.439)
are we gonna bank?
Unknown Speaker (01:17:23.060)
We just didn't think of that.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:24.479)
We didn't plan ahead.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:25.479)
We're gonna need 350 banks put in in Ozark, Missouri.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:30.680)
This is so stupid.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:37.279)
And the idea that Jesse is entertaining this is some kind of...
Unknown Speaker (01:17:41.239)
Isn't that suspicious?
Unknown Speaker (01:17:43.239)
No.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:44.239)
It's pretty good evidence that either he's checked out on the critical thinking aspect
Unknown Speaker (01:17:47.859)
of his TV show, or he's just leaning into things that are almost like conspiracy clickbait
Unknown Speaker (01:17:54.720)
kind of.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:55.720)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:56.720)
Yeah, I can see him just being...
Unknown Speaker (01:17:57.720)
He's a professional entertainer.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:58.720)
He's been an entertainer since he was young.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:01.279)
This is just part of that selling the shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:03.880)
There's one part where he's like, we have one episode where...
Unknown Speaker (01:18:07.279)
I'm doing an Alex impression.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:09.960)
There's one episode...
Unknown Speaker (01:18:11.279)
I can't do it.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:12.279)
Come on, you can do it.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:13.279)
I can't do it.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:14.279)
You're...
Unknown Speaker (01:18:15.279)
You're...
Unknown Speaker (01:18:16.279)
He talks about how on one episode they're going to look into whether or not the government's
Unknown Speaker (01:18:20.680)
making a humanzee, and Alex is dead silent, because if you believe Alex's conspiracies,
Unknown Speaker (01:18:28.880)
of course...
Unknown Speaker (01:18:29.880)
They've already done that.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:30.880)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:31.880)
For years they've been doing that.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:32.880)
It's insulting that Jesse would make an episode about that, because Alex has proven it 100
Unknown Speaker (01:18:37.000)
times over.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:38.000)
Of course.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:39.000)
So it's weird.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:40.000)
Yeah, that is...
Unknown Speaker (01:18:41.399)
That is fun.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:42.399)
It's not like this is the first time he's ever transparently sold obvious garbage with
Unknown Speaker (01:18:47.079)
his positive, I'm a sales... you know, I'm a professional entertainer.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:50.760)
You mean Jesse or Alex?
Unknown Speaker (01:18:51.760)
Yeah, Jesse.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:52.760)
Yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:53.760)
Yeah, like he's spent his whole career selling shit that he's been in movies before, he's
Unknown Speaker (01:18:55.760)
like, I think there's a really great movie.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:57.760)
You know?
Unknown Speaker (01:18:58.760)
I'm like, no.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:59.760)
You know it wasn't.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:00.760)
Now, there is a line, though.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:01.760)
What's that?
Unknown Speaker (01:19:02.760)
Wow.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:03.760)
I think this season's going to be even more entertaining for people to watch, because
Unknown Speaker (01:19:08.520)
we also get into your buddy Ike.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:11.039)
Ike, or whatever his name is.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:13.880)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:14.880)
I wish you guys wouldn't have got into it.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:16.840)
Tell us what happened.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:17.840)
Well, you know, I wouldn't have did it, except it was on Time Magazine's Top 10 Conspiracies.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:24.760)
I mean, people believe this, and you know, we're also there to show the conspiracy, but
Unknown Speaker (01:19:29.880)
we're also there to show if the conspiracy we believe is a fraud.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:34.399)
You know, we play both sides of the...
Unknown Speaker (01:19:35.720)
So you don't believe the queen is a five and a half foot reptoid?
Unknown Speaker (01:19:39.680)
Do I believe it?
Unknown Speaker (01:19:42.000)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:43.000)
No.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:44.000)
They're making fun of David Icke.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:45.000)
Oh, boy.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:46.000)
And Alex, now, is really buddying up with David Icke now.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:50.720)
Oh, boy.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:51.720)
Jeez.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:52.720)
So in 2012, Alex was still in the David Icke is a turd in the punch bowl mentality.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:58.760)
So they're plugging the show pretty good, pretty good and hard.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:01.119)
And that makes sense, because Jesse's on a promotional tour.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:04.159)
He's on Alex's show in order to promote Demigrips and Republics, and also the new season of
Unknown Speaker (01:20:12.800)
his show.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:13.800)
So he's promoting these things, and in order to help get more buzz, he has a particular
Unknown Speaker (01:20:20.600)
strategy that he employs that everyone fell for.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:23.920)
I got hot news for you, and I'll tell you this for all your listeners.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:29.359)
Please.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:30.359)
I stated that if a grassroots campaign took place across America, grassroots and didn't
Unknown Speaker (01:20:35.560)
cost any money, if they got me ballot access in all 50 states, and if the grassroots campaign
Unknown Speaker (01:20:43.800)
could guarantee that I would be in the debate, that I will give serious consideration 2016
Unknown Speaker (01:20:50.439)
of running for president.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:52.680)
Are you breaking that here?
Unknown Speaker (01:20:53.680)
Well, I've said it a couple of places, but you're pretty well, they're all the same day,
Unknown Speaker (01:20:59.399)
so you're hearing it the same day.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:01.600)
Wow.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:02.600)
Well, thank you for announcing that, because our show is...
Unknown Speaker (01:21:05.039)
It's up to the people of the United States of America.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:08.760)
That is such a transparent attempt at creating buzz for his products.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:14.800)
That's brutal.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:15.800)
Now, what's funny to me about it is, if you actually listen to what he said, he said nothing.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:22.239)
He said nothing.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:23.640)
Uh-uh.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:24.640)
He said that if he's guaranteed to be on the ballot in every state, and he's guaranteed
Unknown Speaker (01:21:30.760)
to be in the debates with no money out of his pocket, he'll consider running for president.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:37.960)
If I am 75% elected already, I will consider taking the next 25% of the steps to get there.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:46.680)
I'll think about it.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:47.680)
But you guys have to already pre-elect me the president, essentially.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:51.079)
Yeah, and that's the thing that's really funny to me, is Alex asks him to really reiterate
Unknown Speaker (01:21:56.659)
what he's saying.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:57.659)
And if you pay attention to this, it's really clear that he's like, I will show up and yell
Unknown Speaker (01:22:02.479)
at people at the debate if everyone else does the hard work for me.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:06.399)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:07.399)
100%.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:08.399)
That's what he said.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:09.399)
If everyone else does the work, I'll do the fun part.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:10.399)
My show's big enough that it'll probably end up breaking nationally here that you said
Unknown Speaker (01:22:14.399)
on this show.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:15.399)
So, Governor Ventura, please make your announcement.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:17.399)
Well, I said that it's a grassroots effort, not a money effort.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:22.239)
I don't want millions of dollars raised, and I don't want to do all that.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:26.760)
But if there's a grassroots, blue-collar effort out there and people do the legwork to get
Unknown Speaker (01:22:32.039)
Jesse Ventura on the 2016 ballot for president, and if they can likewise guarantee me, because
Unknown Speaker (01:22:40.199)
I've got to be in the debates, I won't do it if I can't have an opportunity to win.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:46.119)
And the only way you can have an opportunity to win is you must be included in the debates.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:51.920)
If they can guarantee me the debates and guarantee me ballot access in all 50 states, I will
Unknown Speaker (01:22:58.239)
give very strong consideration to running for president in 2016 as a complete independent.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:04.039)
What a dick.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:05.039)
Very strong consideration.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:06.479)
What a dick.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:07.479)
Even in your imaginary world that is not possible, you're still waffling in the middle of it?
Unknown Speaker (01:23:13.239)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:14.239)
Look, if hundreds of thousands of policy wonks email Comedy Central's head of programming
Unknown Speaker (01:23:21.199)
right now telling them that I deserve a half-hour comedy special, I will strongly consider recording
Unknown Speaker (01:23:28.640)
a half-hour comedy special.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:30.680)
Probably.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:31.680)
Maybe.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:32.680)
Well, I mean, the thing that's comparable between those two is they're taking out the
Unknown Speaker (01:23:36.560)
difficult part.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:37.840)
Like the hard part-
Unknown Speaker (01:23:39.439)
If hundreds of thousands of people will work at my stand-up comedy career for 10 years,
Unknown Speaker (01:23:45.920)
building a fan base of their own.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:49.279)
The hard part about a grassroots movement is organization and mobilization.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:53.760)
Like a lot of-
Unknown Speaker (01:23:54.760)
That's why you pay people to do it.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:56.159)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:57.159)
But ideally you would want a candidate who's engaged with that part of the process.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:03.439)
And Jesse says, no.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:05.760)
But that, I mean, it's so transparent to me looking back at this as like when Alex is
Unknown Speaker (01:24:11.079)
like, oh my God, are you breaking that here?
Unknown Speaker (01:24:13.119)
And he's like, I've said it in a bunch of places, but all today, because he's going
Unknown Speaker (01:24:17.000)
on a bunch of interviews.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:18.939)
He's doing a bunch of press.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:19.939)
He's doing a junket.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:20.939)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:21.939)
And part of his press strategy is indicating that if people want him to be president and
Unknown Speaker (01:24:26.680)
guarantee him all this, he'll consider it because that'll make a headline.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:30.619)
And it did.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:31.619)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:32.619)
What a dick.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:33.619)
It's not.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:34.619)
It's not hard.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:35.619)
It's just not hard.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:36.619)
Nope.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:37.619)
It should be harder to manipulate media.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:39.239)
Did you know that there are a thousand banks in Ozark?
Unknown Speaker (01:24:42.800)
I have heard that there are one bank for every 6,000 mole people.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:47.720)
True.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:48.720)
So Alex has another guest on this episode.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:52.479)
And this was like, uh, this is going to make people think that I'm a witch again.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:57.000)
Oh no.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:58.000)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:59.000)
He came to visit me in town a couple of days ago to just talk about the state of the world
Unknown Speaker (01:25:05.399)
and what they were going through.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:06.399)
And I said, you've got to come on air and talk about this.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:10.159)
And Steve Shanks said, all right, I've been your sponsor for about eight years because
Unknown Speaker (01:25:13.579)
I shopped around to find the best durable foods and found out he was the trailblazer,
Unknown Speaker (01:25:17.800)
the grandfather of it all 30 plus years, you know, the biggest company, the best company,
Unknown Speaker (01:25:22.880)
all of that.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:23.880)
You've got all these fly by night people now coming in to storeable foods because people
Unknown Speaker (01:25:28.279)
realize, hey, you need to be independent.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:32.359)
Two things about this, actually three things about this.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:35.199)
One, Alex knew that Steve Shank was going to be on to plug his foods at the end of the
Unknown Speaker (01:25:40.880)
episode, which puts into context his desire for calls to come in about World War III and
Unknown Speaker (01:25:46.960)
the financial collapse that's coming.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:49.420)
He wanted to create that tone for the episode in order to pay it off towards the end with
Unknown Speaker (01:25:55.479)
this.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:56.479)
Steve, we've just heard from all of our callers that World War III is coming and that the
Unknown Speaker (01:25:59.680)
financial collapse is coming.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:01.439)
Steve, do you have anything that people might want if the financial collapse is coming?
Unknown Speaker (01:26:05.880)
Second thing, he's talking about this fly by night people are coming into the space.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:14.000)
They're not around anymore.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:16.159)
They're eFoods Direct and Steve Shank.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:18.760)
They're not.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:19.760)
They're gone.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:20.760)
As best I can tell, I can't find any evidence and I've found a bunch of people who are saying
Unknown Speaker (01:26:24.600)
that they are not in business anymore.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:27.600)
Interesting.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:28.600)
And third, they're not Alex's sponsor anymore.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:32.920)
Alex now has my Patriot Supply.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:35.039)
He has a completely different food sponsor.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:38.560)
It's interesting.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:40.140)
It's interesting to see like this very similar behavior being engaged in in order to push
Unknown Speaker (01:26:45.199)
survival food in the past.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:47.960)
Yeah, it's almost like the callers were the three man game.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:51.720)
You know, it used to be him, Ted Anderson, and what's his dumb fuck selling gold?
Unknown Speaker (01:26:56.479)
Bob Chapman.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:57.479)
He's trying to put the callers in the Bob Chapman role of look at what horrible things
Unknown Speaker (01:27:02.000)
might come.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:03.000)
Yeah, let's dwell in that space a bunch and then discuss this.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:08.079)
And honestly, looking into it, trying to figure out what was going on, seeing if I could figure
Unknown Speaker (01:27:12.199)
out why Alex doesn't have E Foods Direct as my Patriot Supply, is it the same company
Unknown Speaker (01:27:17.159)
that's rebranded?
Unknown Speaker (01:27:18.159)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:19.159)
You know, whatever.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:20.159)
Trying to look into that, I got really fucking depressed.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:23.159)
And I think that there's an aspect of survival food sales that we don't take into consideration
Unknown Speaker (01:27:28.720)
that much and how ripe for abuse it is.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:33.399)
Oh yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:34.399)
Because the premise is you're buying food that you won't eat for five years.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:38.680)
If you're somebody who's running a con and don't expect to be in business in five years,
Unknown Speaker (01:27:43.079)
you could sell whatever the fuck you want because most of those people are not going
Unknown Speaker (01:27:46.680)
to eat that food.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:48.039)
It could be bad and then it might not have the shelf life that you're claiming that it
Unknown Speaker (01:27:52.760)
has.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:53.760)
And by the time that they, anyone learns that you're out of business, you've disappeared,
Unknown Speaker (01:27:58.680)
there's nothing they can do.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:00.119)
I found so many complaints on websites from people who had bought food from E Foods Direct
Unknown Speaker (01:28:07.680)
and you know, it's got a 25 year shelf life and like let's say a hurricane hit or something
Unknown Speaker (01:28:13.000)
or even more tragically now in 2020 with the situation that people are finding themselves
Unknown Speaker (01:28:19.720)
in.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:20.720)
They're like, oh, we have survival foods.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:22.600)
Thank God we do.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:23.920)
They open it up and it's rancid.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:26.439)
It's completely spoiled.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:28.039)
The food is no good.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:29.859)
One person I found a complaint from was saying that there's an intrinsic problem that their
Unknown Speaker (01:28:35.039)
foods don't have bug proof bags.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:37.800)
So they just, all of the food just had bugs infested.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:42.000)
Lava and shit everywhere.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:44.520)
And I don't know if that's universal and you know, I generally try to err on the side of
Unknown Speaker (01:28:50.960)
not taking angry online comments too seriously because they're easy for people to create
Unknown Speaker (01:28:58.680)
you know, like campaigns against the company or whatever.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:03.399)
But it was over a long stretch of time these complaints and they were also a lot of them.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:10.840)
It made me think that maybe there was something to some of the complaints that they were making
Unknown Speaker (01:29:15.159)
and it really, really depressed me because of that angle on it.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:19.640)
The fact that like you're basically selling people comfort that they may not have in the
Unknown Speaker (01:29:28.079)
future.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:29.640)
And these people, like it's not cheap, like it's a lot of money that people were paying
Unknown Speaker (01:29:38.399)
like thousands of dollars for you know, a family of five, a year's worth of food.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:45.439)
And then maybe it's shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:48.340)
Maybe it's useless.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:49.880)
And now you're out that money and you've been deprived of that comfort that was what you
Unknown Speaker (01:29:55.800)
were being sold in the first place.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:57.640)
And it really made me more angry because on some level, I totally understand the idea
Unknown Speaker (01:30:03.720)
of preparation.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:04.720)
I mean, we've talked about this before, like when I was younger, we lived in Missouri and
Unknown Speaker (01:30:09.720)
there's tornadoes.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:10.720)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:11.720)
So my parents had some canned food and bottled water in the basement in case.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:15.439)
I understand it's something that if things go as bad as they possibly could, it's not
Unknown Speaker (01:30:21.880)
irrational to have something.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:25.760)
And when a company exists that's promising you the relief of those potential fears and
Unknown Speaker (01:30:33.560)
anxieties, when that's what they exist to do and they take advantage of it, it's really
Unknown Speaker (01:30:40.279)
bad.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:41.279)
It's really evil to me, I think.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:43.760)
I mean, I would say adding, you know, just on that merit, yes, it's disgusting when you
Unknown Speaker (01:30:49.779)
add the fact that they are then stoking and exacerbating the fear in order to sell more
Unknown Speaker (01:30:56.119)
of their shit, then now you're not just saying, oh, they're exploiting somebody's reasonable
Unknown Speaker (01:31:02.119)
fears.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:03.119)
What they're doing is they're ratcheting up reasonable fears into something insane in
Unknown Speaker (01:31:07.439)
order to sell more of their food because that's how capitalism works.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:12.520)
And from what I understand, I think eFoods Direct was also a multi-level marketing.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:18.479)
They had an angle of it that was that, you'd sell food to people around you.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:23.079)
So it's even more exploitative and like just all of the indications that I can get are
Unknown Speaker (01:31:28.239)
like this is a really, really gross thing that Alex was engaged in.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:32.399)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:33.399)
Hey, you know what's funny?
Unknown Speaker (01:31:35.319)
Food business is predatory.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:38.039)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:39.840)
And that's-
Unknown Speaker (01:31:40.840)
You didn't laugh.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:41.840)
No, because I'm too depressed.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:43.399)
I know, that's very sad.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:44.659)
And that's the other thing too, is that like Alex is talking about this in terms of like,
Unknown Speaker (01:31:49.560)
yeah, there's a bunch of people who are getting into the emergency food game because people
Unknown Speaker (01:31:53.960)
want to be independent, but that's an illusion.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:56.960)
That's an illusion.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:58.000)
You're creating a dependency on your company for this survival food.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:03.479)
And if you can't promise or if you can't deliver what you're promising, it's so depressing.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:11.079)
It's just a bleak picture of like Alex selling x-ray goggles in the back of his magazine
Unknown Speaker (01:32:18.039)
or whatever.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:19.039)
Totally.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:20.039)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:21.039)
It's just such charlatanry that I find it offensive that so much of his career is clearly
Unknown Speaker (01:32:28.359)
staked on this.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:29.359)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:30.359)
Like it's so clearly based on this con of these people who trust him and it sucks.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:37.000)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:38.000)
It's hard to believe.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:39.000)
It's still hard to wrap my mind around.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:41.640)
Just like how many different terms, idioms, descriptors, stories, and all of this stuff
Unknown Speaker (01:32:49.520)
about con men are just littered throughout just American history, let alone the world
Unknown Speaker (01:32:56.840)
history.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:57.840)
And yet it is still impossible to convince a significant portion of people that con men
Unknown Speaker (01:33:02.800)
exist.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:03.800)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:04.800)
You know?
Unknown Speaker (01:33:05.800)
Con men are so good at convincing you everybody else is trying to con you.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:08.520)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:09.520)
That you wind up buying storable foods.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:11.319)
All these other storable food people are con men.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:13.479)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:14.479)
Except for me.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:15.479)
What are you talking about?
Unknown Speaker (01:33:16.479)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:17.479)
And it's interesting because this experience of preparing this episode really sort of umbrellaed
Unknown Speaker (01:33:22.779)
out my distaste.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:24.079)
Because so much of it before was what you were talking about, the exacerbating fears
Unknown Speaker (01:33:29.359)
in order to push product.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:30.600)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:31.600)
Because I had some kind of a just maybe naive belief that what they were selling was actually
Unknown Speaker (01:33:36.920)
good.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:37.920)
Good thing.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:38.920)
But then looking at these fucking complaints, it just like, and it's not just complaints,
Unknown Speaker (01:33:43.960)
there were pictures of their food that had gone bad and it's gross.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:48.920)
And it's like, I just, it just adds such a, another layer to it that is just, I feel so
Unknown Speaker (01:33:56.920)
bad.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:57.920)
I mean, yeah, not least of which because just as if you want to, like, let's call it market
Unknown Speaker (01:34:03.960)
capitalism and the market will do the stuff.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:07.340)
What incentive do you have to sell good storable food?
Unknown Speaker (01:34:12.600)
Like, what incentive is there?
Unknown Speaker (01:34:14.600)
I mean, in theory, you'll get sued in 25 years.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:17.840)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:18.840)
You're not going to be, most businesses aren't in business 25 years and if you're a storable
Unknown Speaker (01:34:22.399)
food business, your bottom line is there won't even be a business in 25 years.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:29.520)
You're going to need our food.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:31.239)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:32.239)
We won't exist by the time you need to be mad at us.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:36.319)
It's, it's, it's honestly something that I think that it might be a space that calls
Unknown Speaker (01:34:41.000)
for regulation.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:42.319)
100%.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:43.319)
I think it may call for greater regulation than even just like regular food market because
Unknown Speaker (01:34:48.960)
of those added elements.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:50.840)
Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:51.840)
Because of the, the sort of liability that you get yourself out of based on the nature
Unknown Speaker (01:34:56.239)
of the business.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:57.239)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:58.239)
And of course, we're some politician, obviously it would be someone on the left, to suggest
Unknown Speaker (01:35:04.319)
these kinds of things Alex would be able to say that it's an attack on the idea of storable
Unknown Speaker (01:35:08.359)
food.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:09.359)
Obviously.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:10.359)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:11.359)
When in, when in fact it's just a loophole that is really fucked up.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:15.279)
Yeah, it is really, I just, I didn't really consider it fully before, but it is a business
Unknown Speaker (01:35:20.720)
based around by the time you use my product, I will not exist.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:25.079)
I will be out of town.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:26.359)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:27.359)
In the old sort of parlance.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:28.359)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:29.359)
It's a monorail.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:30.359)
The salesman will have moved on.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:31.359)
It's a monorail.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:32.359)
Yes, it's totally a monorail.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:33.359)
Well, the business won't even exist because we're all dead.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:36.640)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:37.640)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:38.640)
Wow.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:39.640)
It's a, it's a bummer.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:40.640)
That's a real bummer.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:41.640)
And I think the reason that we don't consider these things or hadn't thought about it in
Unknown Speaker (01:35:43.880)
those terms before is just a, I, again, naive faith that like, at least-
Unknown Speaker (01:35:50.640)
Well, they're a business.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:51.640)
They should do-
Unknown Speaker (01:35:52.640)
They're a business.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:53.640)
They're a business.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:54.640)
There's gotta be rules.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:55.640)
They have to be doing something.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:56.640)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:57.640)
If you sell people storable food that goes bad 10 years before its expiration date, obviously
Unknown Speaker (01:36:02.239)
you're gonna get sued.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:03.560)
Of course.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:04.560)
You're out of business by then already or there's no recourse.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:07.520)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:08.520)
So yeah, it's-
Unknown Speaker (01:36:09.520)
Wow.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:10.520)
That's a great way to launder money.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:11.600)
Has anybody figured that out yet?
Unknown Speaker (01:36:13.520)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:14.520)
That's interesting.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:15.520)
Anyway, Alex is like, look, sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:18.500)
This guy, Steve Shank, he's here and he runs my fucking survival food business, but he's,
Unknown Speaker (01:36:24.439)
we're not here to plug.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:25.439)
Uh-uh.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:26.439)
We're here to talk about news.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:27.439)
Of course.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:28.439)
He's having to buy food out a year or two ahead just so he can give you good food at
Unknown Speaker (01:36:31.920)
the lowest price.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:32.920)
When other folks are selling you things that the cardboard has more nutrition, literally.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:36.479)
See, I'm already running on here.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:38.220)
We're not talking about efoodsdirect.com.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:40.439)
He does not want to talk about that.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:42.039)
He came here to talk about the news.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:43.760)
So now that's an interesting premise.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:45.800)
He's here to talk about the news.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:47.520)
He's not here to talk about efoodsdirect.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:49.680)
Now, it might be interesting to see what kind of news he wants to cover.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:54.239)
Here's what he brought.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:55.760)
Reuters, world food prices jumped 10% in July.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:59.520)
World Bank.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:00.520)
Boom.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:01.520)
That's hyperinflation, folks, not just the droughts.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:04.039)
Food stamp used climes to record 46.7 mil, but you add in the rest is over 50 mil.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:10.439)
Bloomberg, hot long summer since food price is soaring.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:13.119)
So it's all about stories that are designed to make people more inclined to buy your survival
Unknown Speaker (01:37:19.319)
food.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:20.319)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:21.319)
How is that not an infomercial?
Unknown Speaker (01:37:22.319)
No, it's not.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:23.319)
He's just there to talk about the news, Dave.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:25.039)
Please.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:26.039)
He's just there to talk about the news.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:27.039)
Such bullshit.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:28.039)
Come on.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:29.039)
He's got a lot of things to say about Ron Paul, I imagine.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:30.520)
This is about as unethical as it fucking gets.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:33.359)
And the presentation of like, oh, Steve doesn't want me to plug.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:36.720)
I'm going to plug whether he wants me to or not is such bullshit.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:40.279)
It's insulting.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:41.279)
Yeah, it is.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:42.279)
It's really insulting.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:43.279)
And I'm going to plug it.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:44.279)
He can't stop me.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:45.279)
efoodsdirect.com, the place to get your storeable foods.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:49.079)
They're laughing about that, the concept that like he's rebelliously plugging.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:54.079)
He's told me not to.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:55.079)
We're going to plug anyway because it's so good.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:57.199)
Fuck you guys.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:58.199)
That's mean to me.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:59.199)
Fuck you.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:00.199)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:01.199)
You know what's even worse is like, I mean, obviously I can't trace this, but like I can
Unknown Speaker (01:38:04.720)
just imagine that somebody who's listening to this show in 2012 bought that food and
Unknown Speaker (01:38:10.399)
then they were the people complaining on the websites that I...
Unknown Speaker (01:38:14.579)
Six months ago.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:15.579)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:16.579)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:17.579)
They opened it up that we got the food.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:19.199)
It's a good thing.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:20.199)
Everybody, you know, that was when the markets, the shelves were all empty.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:23.720)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:24.720)
Target had no toilet paper down the way and they're like, fuck it.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:28.600)
We're going to open up this storeable food and then they get maggots and shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:32.239)
Or even if it's just a thing where, okay, things are looking like they might go bad.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:36.800)
Let's try this food out and see what we've got.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:39.479)
And then you're like, oh, we don't have anything.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:41.720)
Like I know that obviously I can't draw a direct line, but it's really too hard for
Unknown Speaker (01:38:47.800)
me not to think that somebody bought food because of this disgraceful display.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:55.840)
And maybe some of them were disappointed.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:58.840)
Oh man.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:59.840)
Such a fucking bummer.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:00.840)
That is a bummer.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:01.840)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:02.840)
Anyway, this is where it becomes like really go fuck yourself with this.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:06.699)
This isn't an infomercial.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:08.279)
You can't do anything about the earthquakes and the storms and things that are happening
Unknown Speaker (01:39:12.880)
as a result of the 2012 thing.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:15.479)
You can't do anything about what's going to happen.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:18.159)
Also by the way, Steve Shank might be a Mayan apocalypse guy.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:21.279)
We're a Mayan apocalypse guy.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:23.000)
That sounds Mayan apocalypsing.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:25.079)
He's vaguely Mayan apocalypsing.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:27.119)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:28.119)
I don't care who gets into office right now with this election.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:31.439)
It doesn't matter.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:33.039)
Neither one of them can do anything about, and we as individuals, Joe lunch bucket out
Unknown Speaker (01:39:38.079)
there can't do anything about what's going to happen with all of the goofiness that's
Unknown Speaker (01:39:42.039)
going on with government and the takeover of the food.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:44.760)
And we're going to talk about Michelle Obama and her interest in tracking all the food
Unknown Speaker (01:39:49.119)
that we've got a little bit later on.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:50.800)
Oh yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:51.800)
I meant to cover that yesterday.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:52.800)
Will you guys reprint me that?
Unknown Speaker (01:39:53.800)
Go ahead.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:54.800)
Go ahead.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:55.800)
Anyway, you can't do anything about that.
Unknown Speaker (01:39:57.560)
Now Alex, you are a master at going in and finding all of the goofy stuff that's going
Unknown Speaker (01:40:04.520)
on, all of the inappropriate stuff and you expose it and all of us, we've got people
Unknown Speaker (01:40:09.140)
out there that would not miss one of your programs that actually take notes when you
Unknown Speaker (01:40:13.659)
bring up what's going on with Obama, when you bring up what's going on with the Chinese
Unknown Speaker (01:40:18.119)
taking over our farmland, when you bring up what's going on with ethanol and the various
Unknown Speaker (01:40:22.000)
things that we've talked about.
Unknown Speaker (01:40:24.500)
But I got a question for you.
Unknown Speaker (01:40:25.939)
You've got food in your garage under air conditioning.
Unknown Speaker (01:40:30.560)
What can you do about Obama and the weather and what can you do about all of the things
Unknown Speaker (01:40:36.520)
that we've talked about?
Unknown Speaker (01:40:37.520)
You can't do a stinking thing.
Unknown Speaker (01:40:39.060)
And all of these people that are taking notes and are saying, my gosh, Alex really hit it
Unknown Speaker (01:40:43.840)
today.
Unknown Speaker (01:40:44.840)
What have you done for him?
Unknown Speaker (01:40:46.859)
What can they do?
Unknown Speaker (01:40:47.859)
No, it's like-
Unknown Speaker (01:40:48.859)
There's one thing they can do.
Unknown Speaker (01:40:49.859)
So it's like the Titanic is listing, the food is the lifeboats is what you're saying.
Unknown Speaker (01:40:55.079)
Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (01:40:56.079)
No, I agree.
Unknown Speaker (01:40:57.079)
Listen, that's parity levels of infomercialing.
Unknown Speaker (01:41:03.479)
Wow.
Unknown Speaker (01:41:04.979)
That's like, hey, Alex, you're great at getting people all juiced up, but hey, at the end
Unknown Speaker (01:41:08.800)
of the day, there's nothing they can do, but the only thing they can do is buy my product.
Unknown Speaker (01:41:14.119)
In ad copy terms, that is a call to action.
Unknown Speaker (01:41:16.960)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:41:17.960)
Hey, the Titanic sinking, my product is a lifeboat.
Unknown Speaker (01:41:21.760)
The only lifeboat.
Unknown Speaker (01:41:23.239)
Jesus.
Unknown Speaker (01:41:24.239)
Embarrassing.
Unknown Speaker (01:41:25.239)
I can't imagine a better way to stop listening to Info Wars than if somebody was like, here,
Unknown Speaker (01:41:33.359)
here's what you do.
Unknown Speaker (01:41:34.659)
Take notes every day for a week.
Unknown Speaker (01:41:38.140)
That's kind of how this show started.
Unknown Speaker (01:41:39.399)
I know, right?
Unknown Speaker (01:41:40.399)
Isn't that kind of that like, if you just take notes on a weekly basis of, or no, for
Unknown Speaker (01:41:46.520)
one week, take notes of what he says day to day to day, and then compare them from just
Unknown Speaker (01:41:51.880)
what he says in one week, you will find at least 30 different things that he's on both
Unknown Speaker (01:41:56.020)
sides about.
Unknown Speaker (01:41:57.020)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (01:41:58.680)
If you choose the right week, you're probably right.
Unknown Speaker (01:42:00.960)
But some weeks he's kind of boring, and he doesn't stray too far off any paths.
Unknown Speaker (01:42:06.520)
You could definitely find weeks that are like, none of this makes sense.
Unknown Speaker (01:42:10.520)
But even if you just take notes over a day and track down the things that he says, and
Unknown Speaker (01:42:16.399)
like, if you go into it with an open mind and actually look for information, you could
Unknown Speaker (01:42:23.119)
not possibly continue listening to him.
Unknown Speaker (01:42:26.159)
Yeah, absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (01:42:27.159)
The only reason you would ever maintain being an Info Wars listener is passivity, just sort
Unknown Speaker (01:42:36.039)
of unquestioning this.
Unknown Speaker (01:42:37.199)
I don't say that in any nefarious way.
Unknown Speaker (01:42:39.380)
It doesn't mean anything bad about a listener if they're not questioning what they're hearing.
Unknown Speaker (01:42:44.560)
Because it's easy to get-
Unknown Speaker (01:42:45.560)
It's easy to get captured.
Unknown Speaker (01:42:46.560)
Yeah, it's easy to get locked into patterns of accepting X, Y, or Z as reputable.
Unknown Speaker (01:42:52.199)
But yeah, if there were listeners- I mean, there are listeners who are taking notes,
Unknown Speaker (01:42:56.720)
obviously.
Unknown Speaker (01:42:57.720)
I'm sure there are.
Unknown Speaker (01:42:58.720)
Well, yes, of course.
Unknown Speaker (01:42:59.720)
Of course.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:00.720)
And the only way that holds up is if you don't do anything with them, it's just sort of a
Unknown Speaker (01:43:03.760)
compulsive exercise.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:04.760)
If you throw them away at the end of it like a fucking box score.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:08.159)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:09.159)
Alex, Steve, excuse me, mentioned in that last clip that Alex has a bunch of food under
Unknown Speaker (01:43:15.560)
air conditioning.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:16.560)
Yes, he does.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:17.560)
Which Alex says he does.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:18.560)
And he's got more than just that.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:21.119)
Everything, it's all coming true.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:22.960)
I am so unpleased that we were proven right.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:25.340)
But I agree with you.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:26.680)
People need to have good friends and family and medical supplies and food and water filtration
Unknown Speaker (01:43:31.439)
and firearms.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:32.840)
And I've gotten out of the city.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:34.199)
Listen, I lived in town.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:35.520)
I like living in town.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:36.520)
I like being able to drive a quarter mile of the movie theater or a quarter mile of
Unknown Speaker (01:43:40.119)
the grocery store.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:41.119)
Not now.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:42.119)
I got to drive 10 minutes to get anywhere.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:45.439)
And I went and read strategic relocation and I found the one area in the hill country in
Unknown Speaker (01:43:49.880)
Texas is probably one of the few safe areas are safer.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:52.520)
I mean, I've made preparation.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:53.920)
I've put in the well.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:54.920)
I'm putting in the solar power.
Unknown Speaker (01:43:56.119)
I mean, because this is real and I hope people will go to the one place to get their food
Unknown Speaker (01:44:01.920)
that I there may be other good places, but a lot of them are bad.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:04.920)
This is embarrassing.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:09.079)
Flash forward eight years.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:10.720)
Alex saying, I'm finally going to have to find a bunker or like it just does this lying
Unknown Speaker (01:44:16.119)
piece of shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:17.119)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:18.119)
It's so real right now that I've had to dig out wells.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:21.199)
I'm getting solar power eight years later.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:23.399)
It's so real right now that I'm going to, you know, stock food up in the country.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:27.600)
I'm going to put some guns out there.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:29.479)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:30.479)
It's just a way of George Foreman actually had one of his own fucking grills.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:34.399)
I'm sure he had one.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:37.039)
It's a way of performing the severity of the situation that requires you to buy the product.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:43.680)
Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:44.680)
It's just gross.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:45.680)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:46.680)
That's not good.
Unknown Speaker (01:44:47.680)
And here's where it gets even grosser for me because this touches on like a lot of my
Unknown Speaker (01:44:52.279)
belief of things going bad and Alex is wearing my belief as a hat and I really, I disrespect
Unknown Speaker (01:45:02.239)
this.
Unknown Speaker (01:45:03.239)
You don't just need food for yourself.
Unknown Speaker (01:45:04.520)
You need it for your family and your neighbors.
Unknown Speaker (01:45:06.800)
Flash forward to 2020, my super powers being honest, I've extrapolated this out and I won't
Unknown Speaker (01:45:12.439)
have to for a few years as I got food and stuff, but I'm literally looking at my neighbors
Unknown Speaker (01:45:16.399)
now and going, I'm ready to hang them up and got them and scan them and chop them up.
Unknown Speaker (01:45:20.359)
You know what?
Unknown Speaker (01:45:21.359)
I'm ready.
Unknown Speaker (01:45:22.359)
My daughters aren't starving to death.
Unknown Speaker (01:45:23.359)
I'll eat my neighbors.
Unknown Speaker (01:45:24.359)
So the reason that I'm personally offended by this is that I do think that, um, any kind
Unknown Speaker (01:45:29.600)
of a perspective that you have towards things going bad, to the extent that you're able
Unknown Speaker (01:45:35.039)
to should take into consideration the people around you.
Unknown Speaker (01:45:38.600)
You should never be looking at, um, you know, like getting a weapon to protect yourself
Unknown Speaker (01:45:43.359)
from your neighbors.
Unknown Speaker (01:45:44.439)
You should think about getting a weapon possibly to help protect your neighbors from any threat
Unknown Speaker (01:45:49.560)
that might be there.
Unknown Speaker (01:45:51.439)
Community minded, uh, approaches towards, uh, anything that could go bad or are so much
Unknown Speaker (01:45:57.479)
more helpful than, um, views where it's like, uh, uh, I'm the only survivor, you know, and,
Unknown Speaker (01:46:05.359)
and Alex, Alex knows that in 2012, he's sitting here saying you need food for your neighbors
Unknown Speaker (01:46:11.159)
and yeah, you know, if things go bad, if you have a bucket of food, it's great because
Unknown Speaker (01:46:15.600)
then you can help your neighbors survive.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:17.979)
That is something that's really awesome.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:19.359)
If you're able to afford that and are in such a position where you can do that, that's great.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:24.699)
And Alex knows that, but he doesn't mean it.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:27.619)
He doesn't mean it.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:28.619)
He wants to eat his neighbors.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:30.319)
Furthermore, furthermore, just historically, cooperation has not been like one of the strategies
Unknown Speaker (01:46:37.520)
to survive.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:38.520)
It has been the only successful strategy.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:40.460)
It's the best.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:41.460)
That's why we're still here.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:42.460)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:43.460)
It's the best adaptive strategy.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:44.460)
Obviously.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:45.460)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:46.460)
And, and finding people around you to create a cooperative community with will make you
Unknown Speaker (01:46:49.960)
far more successful than if you are sitting alone with a fucking gun, basically holding
Unknown Speaker (01:46:55.399)
your family hostage.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:56.399)
Eating rancid mashed potatoes.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:57.800)
Yeah, exactly.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:58.800)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:46:59.800)
Like what are you guys doing?
Unknown Speaker (01:47:00.800)
I need this gun to protect this bad food that I overpaid for.
Unknown Speaker (01:47:04.000)
Oh man.
Unknown Speaker (01:47:05.000)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:47:06.000)
It's a, it's a real bummer because it's a, it's a like a presentation of something good
Unknown Speaker (01:47:13.880)
being used in service of everything bad.
Unknown Speaker (01:47:15.840)
Totally.
Unknown Speaker (01:47:16.840)
Totally.
Unknown Speaker (01:47:17.840)
And I really fucking hate that.
Unknown Speaker (01:47:18.840)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:47:19.840)
I mean, it's, it's kind of like when you are influenced too much by media and culture and
Unknown Speaker (01:47:27.640)
books and all that stuff, then you, your steady drumbeat of dystopias are always, you know,
Unknown Speaker (01:47:34.119)
it's the person surviving the dystopia.
Unknown Speaker (01:47:36.920)
Dystopias are never like, okay, we're going to build a community together and we're going
Unknown Speaker (01:47:40.260)
to get all this stuff together and we're going to do some of the dystopian aspects.
Unknown Speaker (01:47:43.560)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (01:47:44.560)
You're creating just a regular old society in a shitty place.
Unknown Speaker (01:47:47.239)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:47:48.239)
You know?
Unknown Speaker (01:47:49.239)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:47:50.239)
I mean, you look at like the sort of the marquee things you have, like, it's, I think it's
Unknown Speaker (01:47:55.199)
cause it's also, it's an easier story to tell.
Unknown Speaker (01:47:57.479)
Like the...
Unknown Speaker (01:47:58.479)
Fewer characters.
Unknown Speaker (01:47:59.479)
You don't have to pay as many actors.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:01.479)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:02.479)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:03.479)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:04.479)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:05.479)
Fuck all this shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:06.479)
I hate Alex.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:07.479)
I hate him so much.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:08.479)
I hate him so much.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:09.960)
What's so interesting is you go back to this like 2012 and you're seeing this exact same
Unknown Speaker (01:48:14.039)
behavior, but like kind of even grosser because of like little wrinkles to it.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:19.279)
It's a different food sponsor.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:20.859)
We know that they've probably gone out of business after getting tens of thousands of
Unknown Speaker (01:48:25.380)
dollars of profit probably from these people.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:28.319)
That's gross.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:29.319)
But it's the same behavior.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:30.319)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:31.319)
You have Jesse Ventura coming in and just like using Alex as a platform to promote his
Unknown Speaker (01:48:35.960)
products and using a vanity false start run for president as a way to, to, to push that.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:47.760)
Real gross.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:48.760)
Real gross.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:49.760)
And you have Alex having a little petty fight with Jesse Benton and by virtue of that saying
Unknown Speaker (01:48:54.960)
he's done and doesn't want to talk to Ron Paul ever again.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:57.800)
Such a weird world.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:58.800)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:48:59.800)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:00.800)
Such a weird world.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:01.800)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:02.800)
It's wild.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:03.800)
You have to get live in the present where all kinds of weird shit happens and day to
Unknown Speaker (01:49:07.279)
day nothing makes any sense, but it's all vaguely familiar and then go into the past
Unknown Speaker (01:49:11.720)
and the same weird shit happens and it's vaguely everything is everything on Info Wars is uncanny.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:17.680)
Like it's vaguely similar to something that you know from the real world and yet it's
Unknown Speaker (01:49:22.880)
not.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:23.880)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:24.880)
That's how the like field pieces are.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:26.199)
It's like, that's like local news, but man, it's so close, but it's not that thing.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:30.439)
What are you doing?
Unknown Speaker (01:49:31.439)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:32.439)
Why is it, why are real things there and you are what you are?
Unknown Speaker (01:49:35.520)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:36.520)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:37.520)
The thing that's really weird to me is like just how much more grounded his conspiracies
Unknown Speaker (01:49:42.000)
are.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:43.000)
Yeah, that's fair.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:44.000)
And I think part of that is because he doesn't have to wrangle with the devil.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:47.239)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:48.239)
You know, you can, you can do political conspiracies and intrigue all day.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:52.159)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:49:53.159)
You could sit me down and yell at me about JFK theories for like an hour and I'd be like,
Unknown Speaker (01:50:00.000)
okay.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:01.000)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:02.000)
You know, maybe look into stuff and see where roads lead, but wouldn't be like, get the
Unknown Speaker (01:50:06.399)
fuck out of here.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:07.399)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:08.399)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:09.399)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:10.399)
You start yelling about the literal Satan.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:11.399)
Devil killed JFK.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:12.399)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:13.399)
And also JFK Jr is still alive.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:14.399)
I gotta go.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:15.399)
All right, buddy.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:16.399)

Unknown Speaker (01:50:43.000)
your anniversary.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:44.000)
Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:45.000)
And, uh, the Wonk nation.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:46.000)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:47.000)
And the world.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:48.000)
We all celebrate it.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:49.000)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:50.000)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:51.000)
Think about that.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:52.000)
That's fucked up.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:53.000)
You guys.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:54.000)
That is kind of fucked up.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:55.000)
Keith.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:56.000)
Keith.
Unknown Speaker (01:50:57.000)

Yes.
Unknown Speaker (01:51:00.000)
You too.
Unknown Speaker (01:51:01.000)
There are thousands of people around the world who are either actively or passively right
Unknown Speaker (01:51:06.520)
now wishing you a happy anniversary.
Unknown Speaker (01:51:07.960)
That's true.
Unknown Speaker (01:51:08.960)
How fucked up is that?
Unknown Speaker (01:51:09.960)
That's kind of weird.
Unknown Speaker (01:51:10.960)
Weird.
Unknown Speaker (01:51:11.960)
That is weird.
Unknown Speaker (01:51:12.960)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:51:13.960)
Let's not focus too much on what we're capable of doing.
Unknown Speaker (01:51:15.119)
It kind of creeps me out, Dan.
Unknown Speaker (01:51:17.119)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:51:18.119)
We can get people to think happy anniversaries for people.
Unknown Speaker (01:51:21.079)
That's the extent of the way we want to abuse our powers.
Unknown Speaker (01:51:23.399)
I think it's a great way to abuse our powers.
Unknown Speaker (01:51:25.199)
Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (01:51:26.199)
Yes.
