Unknown Speaker (00:00:49.000)
Hello Alex, I'm a victim caller, I'm a huge fan

knowledgefight.com
Unknown Speaker (00:00:57.000)
I love you
Unknown Speaker (00:00:59.000)
Hey everybody, welcome back to Knowledge Fight, I'm Dan
Unknown Speaker (00:01:01.000)
I'm Jordan
Unknown Speaker (00:01:02.000)
We're a couple dudes, I can sit around and drink novelty beverages and talk just a little about Alex Jones
Unknown Speaker (00:01:05.000)
Indeed we are Dan
Unknown Speaker (00:01:06.000)
Jordan
Unknown Speaker (00:01:07.000)
Dan
Unknown Speaker (00:01:08.000)
Jordan
Unknown Speaker (00:01:09.000)
Quick question
Unknown Speaker (00:01:10.000)
You go first
Unknown Speaker (00:01:11.000)
What's your bright spot this week?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:12.000)
You go first
Unknown Speaker (00:01:13.000)
Oh, we've been together too long, now you're answering my questions before I answer
Unknown Speaker (00:01:16.000)
Uh huh, yes, I'm a psychic
Unknown Speaker (00:01:18.000)
That is, that's my bright spot
Unknown Speaker (00:01:19.000)
I'm a magician, Jordan
Unknown Speaker (00:01:21.000)
No, I have an incredibly dark bright spot
Unknown Speaker (00:01:27.000)
Great, did you start paying Paper Mario?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:29.000)
No, which is that our friend of the show, Molly C,
Unknown Speaker (00:01:33.000)
at socialistdogmom on Twitter, mother of two very cute dogs
Unknown Speaker (00:01:38.000)
is out of lockup officially
Unknown Speaker (00:01:41.000)
She's still got all kinds of legal mumbo jumbo to deal with
Unknown Speaker (00:01:46.000)
It's good that she's out and it's a truly horrifying travesty that she was ever
Unknown Speaker (00:01:53.000)
Like, she has made me create a new stat
Unknown Speaker (00:01:56.000)
Uh huh, what's that?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:57.000)
I call it a murders above replacement person
Unknown Speaker (00:02:01.000)
Like, she could commit two murders and still be better than the replacement person
Unknown Speaker (00:02:06.000)
Do you know what I'm saying?
Unknown Speaker (00:02:07.000)
Three murders, she's not there yet
Unknown Speaker (00:02:09.000)
She's getting there
Unknown Speaker (00:02:10.000)
It's an interesting stat
Unknown Speaker (00:02:11.000)
I think it's great
Unknown Speaker (00:02:12.000)
I don't know if we should use
Unknown Speaker (00:02:14.000)
Still a net positive, do you know what I mean?
Unknown Speaker (00:02:15.000)
I'm not sure if we should get into, like, murder and human lifesaver metrics
Unknown Speaker (00:02:20.000)
Alright, that might be smart
Unknown Speaker (00:02:21.000)
I'm not sure if money murder ball is the way you want to go with things
Unknown Speaker (00:02:26.000)
But yeah, I saw that on Twitter
Unknown Speaker (00:02:28.000)
Yes
Unknown Speaker (00:02:29.000)
And I was very, very worried
Unknown Speaker (00:02:31.000)
Yes
Unknown Speaker (00:02:32.000)
But it looks like
Unknown Speaker (00:02:33.000)
A great amount of support to you, Molly
Unknown Speaker (00:02:35.000)
You are out there on the front lines in the fighting against fascism
Unknown Speaker (00:02:38.000)
Good for you
Unknown Speaker (00:02:39.000)
So, my bright spot, a little different
Unknown Speaker (00:02:41.000)
I actually got a combination looking into the mailbag
Unknown Speaker (00:02:46.000)
Alright
Unknown Speaker (00:02:47.000)
Yep
Unknown Speaker (00:02:48.000)
And also checking in on the year of the
Unknown Speaker (00:02:49.000)
Seltzer
Unknown Speaker (00:02:51.000)
So, first things first, I want to say a big thank you to our audience
Unknown Speaker (00:02:56.000)
This really speaks highly of our audience
Unknown Speaker (00:02:58.000)
That on our last episode I mentioned that I got some unmarked Rishi Seltzers
Unknown Speaker (00:03:04.000)
Yes
Unknown Speaker (00:03:05.000)
And no one falsely took responsibility for sending them
Unknown Speaker (00:03:07.000)
Oh, that's great, that's great
Unknown Speaker (00:03:09.000)
Anybody could have emailed me and been like, it was me
Unknown Speaker (00:03:11.000)
I believe you
Unknown Speaker (00:03:12.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:03:13.000)
No, that was, I got a message from Amy
Unknown Speaker (00:03:15.000)
Thank you so much, I really appreciate sending this sampler pack
Unknown Speaker (00:03:19.000)
I have not gotten a chance to try them yet
Unknown Speaker (00:03:22.000)
But mostly out of fear, because they look like they're fantastic
Unknown Speaker (00:03:26.000)
But also another little side care package from Amy came along
Unknown Speaker (00:03:31.000)
And there's, like, some treats for Selene
Unknown Speaker (00:03:34.000)
And just very excited to plant some of this pet grass that came along
Unknown Speaker (00:03:38.000)
That's fantastic
Unknown Speaker (00:03:39.000)
Also, Ziep got some masks from Brian
Unknown Speaker (00:03:42.000)
We did, we did, thank you very much Brian
Unknown Speaker (00:03:44.000)
Got one for me with chili peppers on it
Unknown Speaker (00:03:46.000)
Oh, indeed
Unknown Speaker (00:03:47.000)
Because I love Anthony Kiedis
Unknown Speaker (00:03:48.000)
Indeed, and I am just a smoke
Unknown Speaker (00:03:51.000)
A smoke boy
Unknown Speaker (00:03:52.000)
I'm just smoke, it looks like I'm smoking as I'm wearing a mask
Unknown Speaker (00:03:56.000)
Noob Saibot
Unknown Speaker (00:03:57.000)
I love it
Unknown Speaker (00:03:58.000)
I believe
Unknown Speaker (00:03:59.000)
I think you're right
Unknown Speaker (00:04:00.000)
So last thing really quick in the Seltzer mailbag
Unknown Speaker (00:04:03.000)
Which is what it's becoming, kind of
Unknown Speaker (00:04:05.000)
So I mentioned on a recent episode
Unknown Speaker (00:04:07.000)
I think it was the last episode
Unknown Speaker (00:04:08.000)
That Aaron sent in polar Seltzers
Unknown Speaker (00:04:12.000)
And I finally drank all of them
Unknown Speaker (00:04:14.000)
And the summer series, I'm here to talk about it
Unknown Speaker (00:04:17.000)
You would think that raspberry rosé
Unknown Speaker (00:04:20.000)
Or strawberry margarita
Unknown Speaker (00:04:22.000)
Would be the ones that I declare the champions of this set
Unknown Speaker (00:04:26.000)
Because raspberry rosé sounds like it would be amazing
Unknown Speaker (00:04:29.000)
They're great flavors
Unknown Speaker (00:04:30.000)
I love raspberries
Unknown Speaker (00:04:31.000)
I feel like the trying to create a wine kind of vibe
Unknown Speaker (00:04:35.000)
I think that's a great idea
Unknown Speaker (00:04:36.000)
Now I'm not going to say that they're bad
Unknown Speaker (00:04:38.000)
They're good, they're very good
Unknown Speaker (00:04:39.000)
All of them are good
Unknown Speaker (00:04:40.000)
Okay
Unknown Speaker (00:04:41.000)
Surprise winner
Unknown Speaker (00:04:42.000)
Surprise victor
Unknown Speaker (00:04:43.000)
Yes
Unknown Speaker (00:04:44.000)
Perfectly plum summer
Unknown Speaker (00:04:46.000)
Really?
Unknown Speaker (00:04:47.000)
The best
Unknown Speaker (00:04:48.000)
Really?
Unknown Speaker (00:04:49.000)
I had no idea this is the first plum Seltzer
Unknown Speaker (00:04:51.000)
That we've had in the year of the Seltzer
Unknown Speaker (00:04:53.000)
I am not going to drink a Seltzer that makes me shit myself
Unknown Speaker (00:04:55.000)
Perfectly plum, 82 out of 100
Unknown Speaker (00:04:58.000)
82 out of 100
Unknown Speaker (00:04:59.000)
It's in the top 5
Unknown Speaker (00:05:00.000)
Is it because it keeps you regular?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:01.000)
No, I don't think I had any bowel related response to it
Unknown Speaker (00:05:05.000)
No, I was just blown away
Unknown Speaker (00:05:07.000)
The flavor is really good, it's complex
Unknown Speaker (00:05:09.000)
It's unlike a lot of the other Seltzers
Unknown Speaker (00:05:12.000)
In terms of, much like passion fruit
Unknown Speaker (00:05:15.000)
It's a fruit flavor that I didn't think I would enjoy
Unknown Speaker (00:05:18.000)
I didn't know what I was getting into with the plum Seltzer
Unknown Speaker (00:05:21.000)
Sure, plum doesn't sound appealing
Unknown Speaker (00:05:22.000)
So good
Unknown Speaker (00:05:23.000)
Alright
Unknown Speaker (00:05:24.000)
So good
Unknown Speaker (00:05:25.000)
Alright, what do we got from the raspberry rosé?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:27.000)
Raspberry rosé was coming in at 77
Unknown Speaker (00:05:29.000)
77? That's great
Unknown Speaker (00:05:30.000)
No, it is
Unknown Speaker (00:05:31.000)
That's only 5 behind the plum
Unknown Speaker (00:05:32.000)
I mean, look, it's not enough for the top 5
Unknown Speaker (00:05:35.000)
No, that's true
Unknown Speaker (00:05:36.000)
At this point
Unknown Speaker (00:05:37.000)
All of them are in danger of Rishi knocking them all out of the top 5
Unknown Speaker (00:05:41.000)
Quite frankly
Unknown Speaker (00:05:42.000)
And as we all know, occasionally there could be a revised ruling
Unknown Speaker (00:05:47.000)
No, there can't be
Unknown Speaker (00:05:48.000)
I was totally caught off guard on my heels
Unknown Speaker (00:05:52.000)
It was the last one of them I tried
Unknown Speaker (00:05:55.000)
Because I was like, I don't know about plum
Unknown Speaker (00:05:58.000)
Sure, sure, sure
Unknown Speaker (00:05:59.000)
I don't think this is going to be good
Unknown Speaker (00:06:01.000)
It was sitting in the fridge
Unknown Speaker (00:06:03.000)
It was late, I was working
Unknown Speaker (00:06:05.000)
I was like, I need a little caffeine-less beverage
Unknown Speaker (00:06:08.000)
See what happens
Unknown Speaker (00:06:09.000)
Fucking see the plum in there
Unknown Speaker (00:06:11.000)
And I'm like, well, alright, here we go
Unknown Speaker (00:06:13.000)
Gotta do it
Unknown Speaker (00:06:14.000)
Blown away
Unknown Speaker (00:06:15.000)
Blown away
Unknown Speaker (00:06:16.000)
So good
Unknown Speaker (00:06:17.000)
And that's coming after a 77
Unknown Speaker (00:06:19.000)
It's not like you were expecting anything to beat that kind of level
Unknown Speaker (00:06:24.000)
No, not at all
Unknown Speaker (00:06:25.000)
And then plum came out of nowhere
Unknown Speaker (00:06:26.000)
I mean, we had like, I think the lowest of them was the kiwi pink grapefruit
Unknown Speaker (00:06:31.000)
But that was still a 68
Unknown Speaker (00:06:32.000)
That's still solid
Unknown Speaker (00:06:34.000)
Yeah, their whole series of summer ones were really good
Unknown Speaker (00:06:36.000)
Really good
Unknown Speaker (00:06:37.000)
But plum
Unknown Speaker (00:06:38.000)
Plum it is
Unknown Speaker (00:06:39.000)
Anyway, this has been my bright spot, is plums apparently
Unknown Speaker (00:06:43.000)
Maybe I gotta fuck around and get some plums in my life
Unknown Speaker (00:06:46.000)
Maybe I gotta fuck around and get some plums
Unknown Speaker (00:06:48.000)
Says a 34-year-old
Unknown Speaker (00:06:50.000)
Yeah, maybe
Unknown Speaker (00:06:51.000)
Maybe I'll grow into aging really well
Unknown Speaker (00:06:53.000)
Maybe
Unknown Speaker (00:06:54.000)
If I love plums
Unknown Speaker (00:06:55.000)
So Jordan, today we've got an interesting thing to go over
Unknown Speaker (00:06:59.000)
We're going to be talking about July 26th, 2020
Unknown Speaker (00:07:02.000)
This is 2020
Unknown Speaker (00:07:03.000)
God dammit
Unknown Speaker (00:07:04.000)
This is Sunday's episode
Unknown Speaker (00:07:05.000)
And what I figured was, you know, our last episode we talked about Alex's special report that he put out on Saturday
Unknown Speaker (00:07:12.000)
I felt like it was kind of, I believe the word he used was perfunctory
Unknown Speaker (00:07:16.000)
Yes
Unknown Speaker (00:07:17.000)
It was lacking a little bit of his show
Unknown Speaker (00:07:19.000)
Very much unnecessary
Unknown Speaker (00:07:21.000)
So I figured, like, let's give him another chance
Unknown Speaker (00:07:23.000)
Shh, let's pretend he's coming back from vacation on Sunday
Unknown Speaker (00:07:26.000)
Okay
Unknown Speaker (00:07:27.000)
Let's pretend he didn't do that
Unknown Speaker (00:07:28.000)
He didn't do that
Unknown Speaker (00:07:29.000)
Mulligan
Unknown Speaker (00:07:30.000)
So we're going to pretend that he's been out of studio
Unknown Speaker (00:07:32.000)
Alright
Unknown Speaker (00:07:33.000)
And just come back in here
Unknown Speaker (00:07:35.000)
I might have also covered Monday's episode, but I kind of got about three-quarters of the way through this episode
Unknown Speaker (00:07:40.000)
And I just got pass
Unknown Speaker (00:07:42.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:07:43.000)
He has a guest on and I was like, I don't even care anymore
Unknown Speaker (00:07:46.000)
What I realized is, like, our show is essentially, like, if you listen to somebody, like a commentator, anybody
Unknown Speaker (00:07:52.000)
And they're like, Soros is a Nazi collaborator
Unknown Speaker (00:07:55.000)
Sure
Unknown Speaker (00:07:56.000)
You know I don't need to listen to this person
Unknown Speaker (00:07:58.000)
They are a fucking weirdo and a liar
Unknown Speaker (00:08:01.000)
Yeah, they're in our government
Unknown Speaker (00:08:03.000)
Our show is essentially, like, what if we didn't take red flags seriously
Unknown Speaker (00:08:08.000)
What if we kept listening to people we should have stopped listening to long ago
Unknown Speaker (00:08:12.000)
Sure, that's true
Unknown Speaker (00:08:13.000)
And it became unbearable after about three-quarters of this episode
Unknown Speaker (00:08:17.000)
He didn't have diamond and silk, he had the cubic zirconia and linen
Unknown Speaker (00:08:20.000)
I don't think that, I think that they're outside of his guest range now
Unknown Speaker (00:08:25.000)
They're too, yeah, yeah, yeah, you might be right
Unknown Speaker (00:08:27.000)
Yeah, I think they've moved beyond Alex Jones
Unknown Speaker (00:08:29.000)
Oh, poor bastard
Unknown Speaker (00:08:31.000)
So, before we get down to business, Jordan, we're going to take a little moment here to say thank you

That'd be great
Unknown Speaker (00:10:08.000)
And what have you
Unknown Speaker (00:10:09.000)
Absolutely
Unknown Speaker (00:10:10.000)
So, Jordan, we start here on Sunday
Unknown Speaker (00:10:12.000)
Alex has been out of studio for a week, and we pretend that he didn't do a special report
Unknown Speaker (00:10:16.000)
that was a disaster on Saturday
Unknown Speaker (00:10:17.000)
I didn't do it
Unknown Speaker (00:10:18.000)
You know, you get back from a trip and you're just a little groggy
Unknown Speaker (00:10:21.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:10:22.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:10:23.000)
You shake the cobwebs off
Unknown Speaker (00:10:24.000)
Yeah, you get a mulligan
Unknown Speaker (00:10:25.000)
You come in, and you start complaining
Unknown Speaker (00:10:26.000)
Alright
Unknown Speaker (00:10:27.000)
CNN, the police dogs of thought crime
Unknown Speaker (00:10:31.000)
Sinclair says it will postpone and rework segment featuring conspiracy theory about
Unknown Speaker (00:10:37.000)
Fauci
Unknown Speaker (00:10:39.000)
And it says that without any proof, though they don't show the piece, they were going
Unknown Speaker (00:10:43.000)
to look at Fauci at the NIH for 45 years, involved in gain-of-function transfers of
Unknown Speaker (00:10:52.000)
weaponized coronavirus during the Obama administration
Unknown Speaker (00:10:58.000)
So here's what happened with Sinclair at the end of last week that Alex is now covering
Unknown Speaker (00:11:02.000)
They did a great job
Unknown Speaker (00:11:03.000)
They did
Unknown Speaker (00:11:04.000)
So Eric Bolling did an episode of his show where he interviewed the woman from Plandemic,
Unknown Speaker (00:11:09.000)
Judea Makovits, and they did a ridiculous conspiracy piece about the allegations that
Unknown Speaker (00:11:14.000)
Dr. Fauci created COVID-19
Unknown Speaker (00:11:16.000)
It was straight-up Infowars shit, and they probably felt really good about it when they
Unknown Speaker (00:11:20.000)
shot the video
Unknown Speaker (00:11:22.000)
But unfortunately, they'd flown too close to the Infowars sun, and people like Oliver
Unknown Speaker (00:11:26.000)
Darcy at CNN took notice
Unknown Speaker (00:11:29.000)
Darcy wrote an article on CNN pointing out how embarrassing this episode of Bolling's
Unknown Speaker (00:11:33.000)
show was, and in response Sinclair decided to postpone the episode and quote, rework
Unknown Speaker (00:11:37.000)
it
Unknown Speaker (00:11:38.000)
Something Bolling did was embarrassing? Oh, that's crazy
Unknown Speaker (00:11:41.000)
They thought that they could put it out and just fly under the radar, but it turns out
Unknown Speaker (00:11:44.000)
that people noticed, and Sinclair rightly realized that putting out this episode would
Unknown Speaker (00:11:48.000)
probably be damaging to their brand
Unknown Speaker (00:11:50.000)
Hey guys, whoopsadoodle on our part
Unknown Speaker (00:11:52.000)
On Monday Sinclair announced that they were giving up on trying to rework the segment
Unknown Speaker (00:11:56.000)
and were just going to shelf the entire thing and not air it
Unknown Speaker (00:11:58.000)
Saying of Makovits, quote,
Unknown Speaker (00:12:00.000)
Given the nature of the theories she presented, we believe it not appropriate to air the interview
Unknown Speaker (00:12:06.000)
So, we're Sinclair, and we were really excited to air this stuff that we believe, 100%, but
Unknown Speaker (00:12:13.000)
you guys realize she's crazy, so we like money more than our lives
Unknown Speaker (00:12:18.000)
Yeah, this is just an example of a brand that enjoys a certain amount of mainstream appearance
Unknown Speaker (00:12:22.000)
going one step too far and realizing they're probably in jeopardy of being seen for what
Unknown Speaker (00:12:26.000)
they are, which is another Infowars
Unknown Speaker (00:12:29.000)
CNN didn't tell them not to air the piece, that's just dumb spin Alex is putting on this
Unknown Speaker (00:12:33.000)
story to make it possible for him to report
Unknown Speaker (00:12:35.000)
And reporting on this story is going to be a challenge for him
Unknown Speaker (00:12:39.000)
And the reason for that actually has to do with that episode of Bowling's Show
Unknown Speaker (00:12:43.000)
Alex has to be in support of Makovits because she's stridently anti-vaccine and she's spreading
Unknown Speaker (00:12:49.000)
all the COVID-19 conspiracies that are Alex's bread and butter right now
Unknown Speaker (00:12:52.000)
He loves it
Unknown Speaker (00:12:53.000)
However, the other guest on that program is going to be an issue
Unknown Speaker (00:12:56.000)
Uh oh
Unknown Speaker (00:12:57.000)
The other guest was Makovits' lawyer, Larry Klayman
Unknown Speaker (00:13:00.000)
That asshole is everywhere
Unknown Speaker (00:13:06.000)
He is, he's like a bad penny
Unknown Speaker (00:13:08.000)
Where does he fucking come from?
Unknown Speaker (00:13:10.000)
For those of you who don't keep up with our sundry weirdos who populate Alex's world
Unknown Speaker (00:13:14.000)
Larry Klayman was a friend of Alex's back in the Obama bashing days, but in more recent times
Unknown Speaker (00:13:19.000)
they've become bitter enemies
Unknown Speaker (00:13:21.000)
Most recently Klayman, along with Jerome Corsi, filed the defamation lawsuit against Roger and Alex
Unknown Speaker (00:13:27.000)
Which is likely doomed to failure, but isn't the sort of thing you expect to see going down between allies
Unknown Speaker (00:13:33.000)
Alex is going to have to somehow dance around the fact that Klayman is Makovits' lawyer
Unknown Speaker (00:13:38.000)
And you've got to assume that this is going to preclude her from ever appearing on Infowars
Unknown Speaker (00:13:42.000)
Roger's not giving you those fucking computers
Unknown Speaker (00:13:44.000)
This is all just very sad
Unknown Speaker (00:13:46.000)
And honestly, I'm super bummed out that I know about the interpersonal dynamics of these con artists
Unknown Speaker (00:13:51.000)
It's like I see her on the bowling show with Klayman as her lawyer and I'm like, wow, she's not going on Infowars now
Unknown Speaker (00:13:58.000)
You shouldn't be embarrassed
Unknown Speaker (00:14:00.000)
You know about the complicated interpersonal conflicts between characters on Degrassi, Dan
Unknown Speaker (00:14:04.000)
True
Unknown Speaker (00:14:05.000)
So let's leave the embarrassment behind
Unknown Speaker (00:14:07.000)
My reality TV show is con artists and their lawyers
Unknown Speaker (00:14:10.000)
I just watch them
Unknown Speaker (00:14:12.000)
Yeah, that's way better than if you're Real Housewives of Beverly Hills-ing it
Unknown Speaker (00:14:16.000)
It's hard to find people to gab about this stuff with
Unknown Speaker (00:14:19.000)
Yeah, well that's true
Unknown Speaker (00:14:21.000)
That's true, this is an isolating hobby of ours
Unknown Speaker (00:14:25.000)
Much more easy to find someone to talk to about The Bachelor than like, hey GU, what's going on with Larry Klayman?
Unknown Speaker (00:14:30.000)
Socially, options are light
Unknown Speaker (00:14:34.000)
Melissa got voted off, but also Klayman is not getting those computers back
Unknown Speaker (00:14:38.000)
Klayman got four clients, but he also can't practice law for 90 days
Unknown Speaker (00:14:42.000)
Yeah, that might be an issue
Unknown Speaker (00:14:45.000)
Dan, I gotta go, I know you do
Unknown Speaker (00:14:47.000)
No, no, I agree with you
Unknown Speaker (00:14:49.000)
So my cat likes hearing about it
Unknown Speaker (00:14:52.000)
But Alex gets into talking about his conspiracies about Fauci and how Sinclair should be airing this stuff
Unknown Speaker (00:15:00.000)
Of course they should, it's the truth
Unknown Speaker (00:15:02.000)
And so Alex has his sort of beats, his waypoints that he goes to in order to prove his Fauci conspiracies
Unknown Speaker (00:15:09.000)
And they're just headlines
Unknown Speaker (00:15:11.000)
Fauci, at the NIH for 45 years, involved in gain of function transfers of weaponized coronavirus during the Obama administration
Unknown Speaker (00:15:24.000)
Now, Dr. McCamishaw please, look right here
Unknown Speaker (00:15:28.000)
Okay
Unknown Speaker (00:15:30.000)
NIH lifts funding pause on gain of function research
Unknown Speaker (00:15:35.000)
Got em
Unknown Speaker (00:15:36.000)
NIH.gov, and it gets into Fauci and the programs and Bill and Melinda Gates
Unknown Speaker (00:15:42.000)
Does it?
Unknown Speaker (00:15:43.000)
The actual gain of function
Unknown Speaker (00:15:44.000)
No, it doesn't
Unknown Speaker (00:15:45.000)
And that article is not going to help Alex as much as he wants to think
Unknown Speaker (00:15:48.000)
This is a real post on the NIH's website, and Alex is reading the title correctly
Unknown Speaker (00:15:53.000)
But he's neglecting to mention that the date is December 19th, 2017
Unknown Speaker (00:15:58.000)
Which falls just outside the conspiracy timeline
Unknown Speaker (00:16:01.000)
So Obama stopped being president technically on January 20th, 2017
Unknown Speaker (00:16:07.000)
And December 2017 is... Obama's been president this whole time, Dan
Unknown Speaker (00:16:14.000)
No doubt
Unknown Speaker (00:16:15.000)
Fauci was supposed to have done this back during Obama's administration
Unknown Speaker (00:16:18.000)
So if this lifting of the pause on gain of function research is happening during Trump's presidency
Unknown Speaker (00:16:22.000)
That does nothing to help prove Alex's case
Unknown Speaker (00:16:25.000)
This article begins, quote
Unknown Speaker (00:16:27.000)
Today the National Institutes of Health announced that it is lifting the funding pause
Unknown Speaker (00:16:31.000)
Dating back to October 2014 on gain of function experiments involving influenza, SARS, and MERS viruses
Unknown Speaker (00:16:37.000)
Gain of function research is important in helping us identify, understand, and develop strategies
Unknown Speaker (00:16:42.000)
And effective countermeasures against rapidly evolving pathogens that pose a threat to public health
Unknown Speaker (00:16:47.000)
The funding pause was lifted in response to today's release of the Department of Health and Human Services
Unknown Speaker (00:16:53.000)
A framework for guiding funding decisions about proposed research involving enhanced potential pandemic pathogens
Unknown Speaker (00:17:00.000)
If you go and read that paper from the Department of Health and Human Services
Unknown Speaker (00:17:04.000)
You'll immediately realize a few things
Unknown Speaker (00:17:06.000)
The first is that the head of the HHS at that time was Eric Hargan
Unknown Speaker (00:17:10.000)
The fourth of five people that Trump has appointed to that position in his term as president
Unknown Speaker (00:17:14.000)
No, that was December 2017, so he'd only taken office on January 20th
Unknown Speaker (00:17:19.000)
So I assume that must be the first person that he...
Unknown Speaker (00:17:23.000)
There's a number of people who have been acting heads
Unknown Speaker (00:17:26.000)
It was only 11 months difference between them
Unknown Speaker (00:17:29.000)
So you pick a guy for at least a year, right Dan?
Unknown Speaker (00:17:33.000)
Nope
Unknown Speaker (00:17:34.000)
The Department of HHS, which is run by a Trump appointee
Unknown Speaker (00:17:37.000)
And is a department in the executive branch of the government
Unknown Speaker (00:17:40.000)
Which Trump is in charge of, put out this framework
Unknown Speaker (00:17:43.000)
Which led to the NIH lifting the pause on funding this research
Unknown Speaker (00:17:47.000)
All of this traces back to Trump
Unknown Speaker (00:17:50.000)
The second thing you notice is that this framework would never justify or enable creating a bioweapon
Unknown Speaker (00:17:56.000)
There are a bunch of criteria about what kind of research was justifiable
Unknown Speaker (00:17:59.000)
And the idea that that matches up with Alex's theories is just laughable
Unknown Speaker (00:18:03.000)
The third thing that jumps out here is that there's an entire section in this document, this framework, about oversight
Unknown Speaker (00:18:09.000)
Any research that was funded because of this lifting of the pause
Unknown Speaker (00:18:12.000)
Was subject to review by the Department of Health and Human Services
Unknown Speaker (00:18:15.000)
The entity that was funding the research would report on their intention to the HHS
Unknown Speaker (00:18:19.000)
And the Office of Science and Technology Policy
Unknown Speaker (00:18:22.000)
Who would evaluate the legitimacy of the research in question
Unknown Speaker (00:18:25.000)
The HHS would then, quote, develop recommendations on acceptability for HHS funding
Unknown Speaker (00:18:30.000)
Including suggestions for additional risk mitigation measures
Unknown Speaker (00:18:34.000)
And or terms and conditions of award if funded
Unknown Speaker (00:18:37.000)
This is where it's just such a huge problem for Alex that he doesn't read things past headlines
Unknown Speaker (00:18:43.000)
He has an NIH headline that he thinks is a smoking gun
Unknown Speaker (00:18:46.000)
But literally everything about this story doesn't match up with the narrative that he's presenting
Unknown Speaker (00:18:50.000)
And the actual source he's pointing to really complicates the narrative
Unknown Speaker (00:18:54.000)
Once you understand the review process and the oversight that's built into the funding process of these NIH grants
Unknown Speaker (00:18:59.000)
It becomes comical to imagine that what Alex is saying is even possible
Unknown Speaker (00:19:03.000)
There would be so many people that would have to be in on this
Unknown Speaker (00:19:06.000)
And an impossibly long paper trail
Unknown Speaker (00:19:08.000)
The headline sounds good to Alex, though, and that's all that matters
Unknown Speaker (00:19:11.000)
Dear HHS
Unknown Speaker (00:19:13.000)
NIH.gov
Unknown Speaker (00:19:14.000)
I am scientist
Unknown Speaker (00:19:16.000)
I work hard
Unknown Speaker (00:19:17.000)
Please prove my research into a bioweapon
Unknown Speaker (00:19:21.000)
I would address this to the head of the HHS
Unknown Speaker (00:19:23.000)
But unfortunately, I don't know who will be
Unknown Speaker (00:19:26.000)
I don't know which one
Unknown Speaker (00:19:27.000)
When this gets here
Unknown Speaker (00:19:28.000)
Hart
Unknown Speaker (00:19:29.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:19:30.000)
So that headline doesn't work
Unknown Speaker (00:19:32.000)
I think it actually kind of works against his conspiracies
Unknown Speaker (00:19:36.000)
Yeah, 100%
Unknown Speaker (00:19:37.000)
But, I mean, we know Alex
Unknown Speaker (00:19:39.000)
He has more than one headline
Unknown Speaker (00:19:40.000)
Sure
Unknown Speaker (00:19:41.000)
Here's Newsweek
Unknown Speaker (00:19:42.000)
Dr. Fauci backed controversial Wuhan lab with US dollars
Unknown Speaker (00:19:45.000)
For risky coronavirus research
Unknown Speaker (00:19:47.000)
With spliced virus chimeras using weaponized bat viruses
Unknown Speaker (00:19:52.000)
Oh, okay
Unknown Speaker (00:19:54.000)
Oh
Unknown Speaker (00:19:55.000)
So, real important point
Unknown Speaker (00:19:57.000)
Alex is editorializing a little bit on that headline
Unknown Speaker (00:19:59.000)
Oh, yeah?
Unknown Speaker (00:20:00.000)
The actual headline is
Unknown Speaker (00:20:01.000)
Quote, Dr. Fauci backed controversial Wuhan lab with US dollars for risky coronavirus research
Unknown Speaker (00:20:07.000)
So it didn't add the part about
Unknown Speaker (00:20:09.000)
Chimeras
Unknown Speaker (00:20:10.000)
Chimeras and the bat viruses
Unknown Speaker (00:20:11.000)
No
Unknown Speaker (00:20:12.000)
A little bit of that was maybe editorialized
Unknown Speaker (00:20:15.000)
Okay
Unknown Speaker (00:20:16.000)
Comparing the real headline to the one Alex is reporting
Unknown Speaker (00:20:18.000)
Kind of makes clear how he doesn't feel like this story is juicy enough on its own
Unknown Speaker (00:20:22.000)
It needs to make it a little bit sexier
Unknown Speaker (00:20:24.000)
Bat virus
Unknown Speaker (00:20:25.000)
Chimera
Unknown Speaker (00:20:26.000)
Come on
Unknown Speaker (00:20:27.000)
This story is mostly about research going back to 2014
Unknown Speaker (00:20:30.000)
That the NIH helped fund
Unknown Speaker (00:20:31.000)
Which involved
Unknown Speaker (00:20:32.000)
Obama
Unknown Speaker (00:20:33.000)
True
Unknown Speaker (00:20:34.000)
Sorry for interrupting
Unknown Speaker (00:20:36.000)
This research involved a virologist at that lab in Wuhan
Unknown Speaker (00:20:39.000)
Surveilling and cataloging existing bat coronaviruses
Unknown Speaker (00:20:43.000)
In 2019, they began doing some gain-of-function study
Unknown Speaker (00:20:46.000)
But there's no evidence that this is at all related to COVID-19
Unknown Speaker (00:20:49.000)
And again, the NIH is only able to fund gain-of-function research
Unknown Speaker (00:20:53.000)
Like in this case, because of the framework that was put out by the Trump Department of Health and Human Services
Unknown Speaker (00:20:58.000)
Well, there's that
Unknown Speaker (00:20:59.000)
It is true that Fauci supports gain-of-function research
Unknown Speaker (00:21:02.000)
And if you want to have a debate about whether or not the risks outweigh the potential breakthroughs
Unknown Speaker (00:21:06.000)
That's a valid conversation to have
Unknown Speaker (00:21:08.000)
It's not the conversation Alex is having
Unknown Speaker (00:21:10.000)
So I'll leave that debate to be had elsewhere by people far more knowledgeable on the topic than me
Unknown Speaker (00:21:15.000)
The point here, again, is that Alex just has a headline with nothing to go on that's any deeper than that
Unknown Speaker (00:21:20.000)
And it doesn't even match up with what he's saying
Unknown Speaker (00:21:23.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:21:24.000)
So he goes on this, like, it's just really annoying to listen to him try to make points
Unknown Speaker (00:21:28.000)
Because it's so much just shit talk and then just reading headlines and being like
Unknown Speaker (00:21:34.000)
See? See?
Unknown Speaker (00:21:36.000)
I really don't understand how you can just read headlines as if that proves your point
Unknown Speaker (00:21:41.000)
Do you know what I'm saying?
Unknown Speaker (00:21:42.000)
And then misread them and editorialize
Unknown Speaker (00:21:44.000)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, just like, oh, Dr. Fauci, he created a Wuhan virus in the bat lab
Unknown Speaker (00:21:50.000)
And so now he's killing everybody, that proves everything
Unknown Speaker (00:21:54.000)
Newsweek
Unknown Speaker (00:21:55.000)
It's almost
Unknown Speaker (00:21:56.000)
You can't just say that
Unknown Speaker (00:21:57.000)
It's a parody
Unknown Speaker (00:21:58.000)
It really is
Unknown Speaker (00:21:59.000)
But it's not
Unknown Speaker (00:22:00.000)
But instead it's the same as the people who run the government
Unknown Speaker (00:22:04.000)
So Alex is spinning his wheels on that for a little bit and then he starts getting into race issues
Unknown Speaker (00:22:10.000)
No, he should not
Unknown Speaker (00:22:11.000)
He's feeling a little bit about
Unknown Speaker (00:22:12.000)
Don't do that
Unknown Speaker (00:22:13.000)
Well, look man, he wouldn't if white people weren't under attack
Unknown Speaker (00:22:17.000)
Oh god
Unknown Speaker (00:22:18.000)
Every turn
Unknown Speaker (00:22:19.000)
We live in a cult
Unknown Speaker (00:22:21.000)
Look at political correctness
Unknown Speaker (00:22:23.000)
Yes, look at it
Unknown Speaker (00:22:25.000)
What about it?
Unknown Speaker (00:22:26.000)
On YouTube, they get strikes on famous chess channels if White Knight takes Black Pond
Unknown Speaker (00:22:32.000)
Because that could be seen as racist
Unknown Speaker (00:22:34.000)
I don't think that's true
Unknown Speaker (00:22:35.000)
I was telling a lawyer that the other day, he didn't believe me
Unknown Speaker (00:22:37.000)
He pulled it up and his mouth fell open
Unknown Speaker (00:22:41.000)
That's the level of the cult and we've bowed to them so much for so long
Unknown Speaker (00:22:47.000)
They think we're going to bow to them again and forever
Unknown Speaker (00:22:53.000)
Oh no, your mouth fell open
Unknown Speaker (00:22:55.000)
I imagine this is how that went
Unknown Speaker (00:22:59.000)
Did you just give me an Infowars article without a citation?
Unknown Speaker (00:23:04.000)
My mouth has fallen open
Unknown Speaker (00:23:05.000)
Wow
Unknown Speaker (00:23:06.000)
This is a story that Alex is completely misrepresenting about chess
Unknown Speaker (00:23:09.000)
Sure
Unknown Speaker (00:23:10.000)
His version of it is that people who are playing chess are being accused of racism
Unknown Speaker (00:23:13.000)
Because, for example, one move is that a White Knight takes a Black Pond
Unknown Speaker (00:23:17.000)
Uh oh
Unknown Speaker (00:23:18.000)
The actual story that this is based on is about a Sydney-based ABC affiliate
Unknown Speaker (00:23:23.000)
They were working on a segment exploring the idea that chess is intrinsically racist
Unknown Speaker (00:23:27.000)
Because, traditionally, the white pieces always get the first move
Unknown Speaker (00:23:31.000)
This came to public attention on June 22nd
Unknown Speaker (00:23:34.000)
When Australian chess figure John Adams tweeted about being approached for a comment for the segment
Unknown Speaker (00:23:39.000)
Which he responded to with outrage
Unknown Speaker (00:23:41.000)
From what I can tell about this segment, it was planned as an exploration of whether or not this was something that had racist roots
Unknown Speaker (00:23:48.000)
It was trying to come at it without any bias at all
Unknown Speaker (00:23:51.000)
Why is this the case?
Unknown Speaker (00:23:53.000)
Why is it that white people always go first?
Unknown Speaker (00:23:55.000)
Or, you know, just take white people out of it
Unknown Speaker (00:23:58.000)
Why is it the case that traditionally chess always has the white pieces go first?
Unknown Speaker (00:24:04.000)
It was meant to be a supplement to the conversation that was happening about things like the name of the Washington football team
Unknown Speaker (00:24:10.000)
It wasn't meant to be a direct accusation that chess is racist
Unknown Speaker (00:24:13.000)
Man, they are not going to want to hear about Go
Unknown Speaker (00:24:16.000)
Oh, yeah, that came up in articles
Unknown Speaker (00:24:18.000)
Yeah, of course
Unknown Speaker (00:24:19.000)
The ABC anchor who was working on this story, James Valentine, has since tried to tell his side of the story, which is basically as follows
Unknown Speaker (00:24:26.000)
He saw a tweet from a parent who was musing about why white pieces always go first
Unknown Speaker (00:24:31.000)
Based on a question that he'd received from his child
Unknown Speaker (00:24:34.000)
Valentine realized that he didn't know why that was the tradition, so he was working on a piece discussing it
Unknown Speaker (00:24:39.000)
And as part of that, his producers reached out to various chess experts in Australia, including this John Adams
Unknown Speaker (00:24:45.000)
Alright, so they're curious
Unknown Speaker (00:24:46.000)
Adams assumed that they were working on a story with the angle that chess is racist, saying
Unknown Speaker (00:24:50.000)
Quote, the ABC have taken the view that chess is racist given that white always goes first
Unknown Speaker (00:24:55.000)
They're seeking comment from a chess official as to whether the rules of chess need to be altered exclamation point
Unknown Speaker (00:25:00.000)
Oh, boy
Unknown Speaker (00:25:01.000)
Valentine responded in a Facebook post that, quote, I haven't decided that chess is racist
Unknown Speaker (00:25:06.000)
I'm not looking for someone to say that chess is racist
Unknown Speaker (00:25:09.000)
I'm looking to create some conversation that will be fresh and will keep someone interested and will tell us something more about the world and why it is the way it is
Unknown Speaker (00:25:18.000)
Yeah, sure
Unknown Speaker (00:25:19.000)
This is a zero, and it's just yet another example of Alex lying about dumb, misconstrued, trivial human interest stories in order to amplify and spread white victimhood narratives
Unknown Speaker (00:25:28.000)
A serious broadcaster with the level of importance that Alex pretends he has wouldn't waste their time with a story that's as dumb as this
Unknown Speaker (00:25:35.000)
Like, the version that Alex is telling
Unknown Speaker (00:25:37.000)
You know, I don't understand how your reaction isn't the same as my reaction to knowledge that I don't know
Unknown Speaker (00:25:45.000)
Which is like, oh, why is that? I would like someone to explain that to me
Unknown Speaker (00:25:49.000)
Sure
Unknown Speaker (00:25:50.000)
Or I can go look it up right now instead of just being like, see, they're out of control
Unknown Speaker (00:25:55.000)
Yeah, I looked into it and I was going to explain it, but it's not
Unknown Speaker (00:25:59.000)
No, no
Unknown Speaker (00:26:00.000)
The story is not really as interesting as I would like it to be for me to tell you
Unknown Speaker (00:26:06.000)
Right, right, right
Unknown Speaker (00:26:07.000)
It basically is a thing where people would alternate going first and they'd get to choose their colors
Unknown Speaker (00:26:12.000)
Right, right
Unknown Speaker (00:26:13.000)
But then as tournament play came along it began
Unknown Speaker (00:26:15.000)
We need to standardize it in some way so this is an easier way for us to just be like
Unknown Speaker (00:26:19.000)
Instead of being like, well, this time black went first so our annotation has to be altered for that
Unknown Speaker (00:26:23.000)
It was more or less arbitrary
Unknown Speaker (00:26:25.000)
Yeah, of course it is
Unknown Speaker (00:26:26.000)
Great
Unknown Speaker (00:26:27.000)
And it could have gone the other way easily
Unknown Speaker (00:26:29.000)
Could have gone the other way!
Unknown Speaker (00:26:30.000)
I don't know if you want to have a conversation about whether or not back when they made that decision between the black and the white pieces going first
Unknown Speaker (00:26:36.000)
Was there a subconscious bias? Entirely possible
Unknown Speaker (00:26:38.000)
I don't know how you'll ever get to the bottom of that
Unknown Speaker (00:26:40.000)
How could you?
Unknown Speaker (00:26:41.000)
But from everything I can tell it doesn't seem like, you know, we've uncovered any deeply racist story here
Unknown Speaker (00:26:47.000)
Okay, now somehow I feel like Othello might be racist
Unknown Speaker (00:26:50.000)
Who knows
Unknown Speaker (00:26:51.000)
Because Othello, okay never mind
Unknown Speaker (00:26:52.000)
Backgammon
Unknown Speaker (00:26:53.000)
Oh, don't even get me started
Unknown Speaker (00:26:55.000)
So what's really going on here, and the story that Alex is covering, poorly, is that a guy tweeted out a misrepresentation of a planned ABC Sydney story about the history of chess
Unknown Speaker (00:27:05.000)
And then white identity adherents got really mad about it
Unknown Speaker (00:27:08.000)
Of course they did
Unknown Speaker (00:27:09.000)
That's all that's going on here
Unknown Speaker (00:27:10.000)
They are not hard to rile up
Unknown Speaker (00:27:12.000)
No, certainly not
Unknown Speaker (00:27:13.000)
Turns out, no, it doesn't take much
Unknown Speaker (00:27:15.000)
There's a bit of tension going on surrounding protests
Unknown Speaker (00:27:20.000)
Certainly there are things that are going on in Portland
Unknown Speaker (00:27:25.000)
Oh, like what?
Unknown Speaker (00:27:26.000)
Still, there are other cities, Seattle had some flair up
Unknown Speaker (00:27:30.000)
Totally, Charlottesville of course
Unknown Speaker (00:27:32.000)
As you mentioned, yeah, in Richmond
Unknown Speaker (00:27:34.000)
And Austin, there was a guy who was shot at a protest
Unknown Speaker (00:27:40.000)
Which we'll get into in a little bit
Unknown Speaker (00:27:42.000)
In order to ease into that topic, Alex has to discuss another person who was killed recently
Unknown Speaker (00:27:50.000)
Black Trump supporter, executed in broad daylight for holding up a Trump sign in Wisconsin
Unknown Speaker (00:27:55.000)
Leftist pledge, anyone supporting Trump will be murdered
Unknown Speaker (00:27:58.000)
This person who died, Alex doesn't say his name ever, doesn't seem to care about anything other than the optics surrounding it
Unknown Speaker (00:28:05.000)
He's a black Trump supporter, so you don't need to learn his name, Dan
Unknown Speaker (00:28:08.000)
No, and it's awful, this guy didn't need to die
Unknown Speaker (00:28:12.000)
Whatever the circumstances surrounding it, it's awful
Unknown Speaker (00:28:16.000)
It's clearly a murder and should be treated as such
Unknown Speaker (00:28:20.000)
But there's misreporting going on to it
Unknown Speaker (00:28:23.000)
At least at this point
Unknown Speaker (00:28:25.000)
It's unclear whether this guy was murdered because of support for Trump or something else
Unknown Speaker (00:28:31.000)
There isn't any reason that Alex should be reporting this as that
Unknown Speaker (00:28:36.000)
He would speculate about it if he wanted to, but that's not what he's doing
Unknown Speaker (00:28:39.000)
He's reporting it very concretely that it was in retaliation for supporting Trump
Unknown Speaker (00:28:44.000)
He's saying it's a fact
Unknown Speaker (00:28:46.000)
Yeah, and I think that making a bigger deal out of this is in order to help deflect from the fact that
Unknown Speaker (00:28:54.000)
Oh, of course
Unknown Speaker (00:28:56.000)
In Austin, in his own city, there is a very clear-cut case of someone who was a protester, who Alex should support
Unknown Speaker (00:29:05.000)
Who was murdered
Unknown Speaker (00:29:07.000)
Austin protester, allegedly armed with AK-47, I don't know why it says allegedly
Unknown Speaker (00:29:12.000)
He said he had an AK-47, it was a semi-automatic version of that
Unknown Speaker (00:29:15.000)
Shot by a driver while blocking traffic and approaching vehicle
Unknown Speaker (00:29:20.000)
We're gonna get to that first, right now
Unknown Speaker (00:29:24.000)
Listen to what, by the way, look at this guy's background, you talk about a
Unknown Speaker (00:29:27.000)
Why?
Unknown Speaker (00:29:29.000)
I'm just gonna leave it at that
Unknown Speaker (00:29:31.000)
You talk about bizarre and stupid
Unknown Speaker (00:29:35.000)
LARPing out at night, blocking traffic with a gun, pointing it at somebody
Unknown Speaker (00:29:39.000)
A threat, people have a right to defend themselves
Unknown Speaker (00:29:41.000)
But this individual, he's got his name, all the information's on Infowars.com
Unknown Speaker (00:29:45.000)
Here's what he said about 10 minutes before he ran out with a mob to stop cars
Unknown Speaker (00:29:50.000)
Pointed his gun reportedly at somebody and got shot
Unknown Speaker (00:29:53.000)
Here it is
Unknown Speaker (00:29:55.000)
Tell us a little bit about your gun again
Unknown Speaker (00:29:57.000)
It's an AK-47
Unknown Speaker (00:29:59.000)
Why'd you got it out tonight?
Unknown Speaker (00:30:01.000)
They don't let us march in the streets anymore, so I gotta practice some of our rights
Unknown Speaker (00:30:06.000)
Do you feel like you don't need to use it?
Unknown Speaker (00:30:11.000)
Nah, I think the, uh, I mean if I use it against the cops, I'm dead
Unknown Speaker (00:30:17.000)
And I think all the people that hate us and, you know, want to say shit to us
Unknown Speaker (00:30:22.000)
Are too big of pussies to stop and actually do anything about it, so
Unknown Speaker (00:30:28.000)
Why'd you start carrying?
Unknown Speaker (00:30:30.000)
Well, our roommate got arrested and they stopped letting us march anywhere, so
Unknown Speaker (00:30:34.000)
Started carrying
Unknown Speaker (00:30:39.000)
You're a great virtue signaler, so
Unknown Speaker (00:30:41.000)
I'm not sure what Alex thinks that this demonstration proves
Unknown Speaker (00:30:45.000)
That was a guy saying that the police were arresting people he knew for expressing their right to assemble
Unknown Speaker (00:30:50.000)
So he was carrying his gun to exercise his Second Amendment rights
Unknown Speaker (00:30:54.000)
He didn't say that he was planning on shooting anyone, and Alex would be reporting this very differently
Unknown Speaker (00:30:59.000)
If he was reporting, or if he was protesting for some other cause
Unknown Speaker (00:31:02.000)
The protester in question here is 28-year-old Garrett Foster, who was shot and killed by a driver in Austin on Saturday evening
Unknown Speaker (00:31:10.000)
Witnesses have been pretty universal in their telling of the story that the driver was the instigator and aggressor in the situation
Unknown Speaker (00:31:16.000)
Despite accusations that Foster shot at the driver first, and that the driver was only firing in self-defense
Unknown Speaker (00:31:23.000)
In reality, protesters didn't really even surround the guy's car, which was another accusation that was made to justify Foster's murder
Unknown Speaker (00:31:30.000)
Videos have been released which clearly show the guy in the car turning at an intersection, specifically where marchers were crossing
Unknown Speaker (00:31:38.000)
The protesters were marching and the intersection is blocked, which is inconvenient
Unknown Speaker (00:31:42.000)
But this driver drove and accelerated specifically into a group of people, which is completely unacceptable
Unknown Speaker (00:31:49.000)
According to New York Magazine, quote,
Unknown Speaker (00:31:51.000)
Witnesses and police say that the motorist fired on Foster after he approached the vehicle and that Foster did not fire his weapon
Unknown Speaker (00:31:58.000)
But there are conflicting reports about whether or not Foster did anything to threaten the driver
Unknown Speaker (00:32:02.000)
Witnesses have told reporters that Foster kept his rifle pointed at the ground as he approached the vehicle
Unknown Speaker (00:32:07.000)
And that he was not the only protester carrying a firearm at the march
Unknown Speaker (00:32:11.000)
They say that the driver pointed a handgun through the car window and fired at Foster
Unknown Speaker (00:32:16.000)
There were apparently two people who fired weapons, but Austin Police Chief Brian Manley has said that, quote,
Unknown Speaker (00:32:22.000)
The first person who appeared to fire was the driver, and then a second person, not Foster, drew a concealed handgun and opened fire at the car as it drove away
Unknown Speaker (00:32:31.000)
This is a tragic story, and there's no reason that Garrett Foster should be dead right now
Unknown Speaker (00:32:35.000)
For Alex to justify this killing is ghoulish
Unknown Speaker (00:32:38.000)
To say nothing of how much this implicates and calls into question his belief in a citizen's right to bear arms
Unknown Speaker (00:32:44.000)
Like, this should be his big issue
Unknown Speaker (00:32:47.000)
Nope, white citizen's right to bear arms
Unknown Speaker (00:32:49.000)
This dude was white!
Unknown Speaker (00:32:50.000)
That's the only thing he cares about
Unknown Speaker (00:32:51.000)
Garrett Foster is white!
Unknown Speaker (00:32:52.000)
I don't understand! I don't understand
Unknown Speaker (00:32:55.000)
Well, it's because he was there for a-
Unknown Speaker (00:32:57.000)
It's just a lefty
Unknown Speaker (00:32:58.000)
Leftists aren't people
Unknown Speaker (00:33:00.000)
Leftists aren't people
Unknown Speaker (00:33:01.000)
That's so fucked up
Unknown Speaker (00:33:03.000)
That's so fucked up
Unknown Speaker (00:33:04.000)
The Second Amendment is actually negotiable to Alex
Unknown Speaker (00:33:07.000)
Which is maybe one of the things that we were considering the last domino that could possibly fall
Unknown Speaker (00:33:13.000)
Nope
Unknown Speaker (00:33:14.000)
It turns out that if you have different political beliefs from him
Unknown Speaker (00:33:19.000)
You do not have the right to believe
Unknown Speaker (00:33:21.000)
You don't have the most essential right that Alex believes Americans have
Unknown Speaker (00:33:25.000)
To the extent that he will smear you and make you look like the person who is in the wrong after you've been killed
Unknown Speaker (00:33:33.000)
In order to get around that
Unknown Speaker (00:33:36.000)
So Alex doesn't have to defend him as someone who is expressing their Second Amendment right to be armed
Unknown Speaker (00:33:41.000)
In his state, in his home state
Unknown Speaker (00:33:43.000)
In his home town
Unknown Speaker (00:33:44.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:33:45.000)
I have no idea what Alex is talking about when he says that he looked into Foster and that he's a creep
Unknown Speaker (00:33:50.000)
I looked into it, I just don't know what he could be talking about
Unknown Speaker (00:33:53.000)
And one of the only things that keeps coming up that seems like something Alex would be referring to in all of the coverage
Unknown Speaker (00:33:59.000)
Is that he was at the protest with his black quadriplegic fiance
Unknown Speaker (00:34:04.000)
Foster and his fiance had been together since they were seventeen
Unknown Speaker (00:34:07.000)
And in 2011 she came down with a condition that nearly killed her and required her arms and legs to be amputated
Unknown Speaker (00:34:13.000)
Since then he's taken care of her and to quote Foster's mother
Unknown Speaker (00:34:16.000)
Quote, he loved that woman unconditionally
Unknown Speaker (00:34:18.000)
I can find no reason to think that Foster was a creep, Alex needs to justify this
Unknown Speaker (00:34:23.000)
And until he does, I have to assume that Alex thinks there's something intrinsically weird or wrong about this guy
Unknown Speaker (00:34:34.000)
Miscegenation
Unknown Speaker (00:34:35.000)
Sure, or the fact that she was a quadriplegic
Unknown Speaker (00:34:38.000)
Right, maybe
Unknown Speaker (00:34:39.000)
I don't know, whatever it is is really fucked up
Unknown Speaker (00:34:43.000)
Yeah, I don't understand
Unknown Speaker (00:34:45.000)
It is never, I wish we had never even speculated on whether or not there was a bottom
Unknown Speaker (00:34:52.000)
Like from day one on our first episode we should have been like, just so everybody knows, no matter how long this podcast goes
Unknown Speaker (00:35:00.000)
No matter what changes, Alex has no bottom, Alex believes in nothing
Unknown Speaker (00:35:04.000)
We didn't know that then
Unknown Speaker (00:35:05.000)
Nothing
Unknown Speaker (00:35:06.000)
We didn't know that
Unknown Speaker (00:35:07.000)
That's what I would do if I was a time traveler, killing Hitler, nah, can't do nothing
Unknown Speaker (00:35:11.000)
Go back in time, tell me to say something
Unknown Speaker (00:35:14.000)
I mean, I think that would be bad for us because I think that
Unknown Speaker (00:35:18.000)
We would have stopped
Unknown Speaker (00:35:19.000)
Maybe
Unknown Speaker (00:35:20.000)
But also I think that our cynicism and like disgust is earned
Unknown Speaker (00:35:24.000)
Yeah, totally
Unknown Speaker (00:35:25.000)
Because there was benefits of doubt that had been given along the way of like
Unknown Speaker (00:35:30.000)
We didn't know how, like we knew he sucked, but we didn't know he sucked as much as he does
Unknown Speaker (00:35:35.000)
No
Unknown Speaker (00:35:36.000)
And I think that that's what's made this an experience and a learning thing for me
Unknown Speaker (00:35:41.000)
If I had known going in, hey, everything is just going to constantly get more disappointing
Unknown Speaker (00:35:46.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:35:47.000)
Alex is going to give up on every principle
Unknown Speaker (00:35:49.000)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:35:50.000)
Then I don't, I don't know if it would be as interesting for me
Unknown Speaker (00:35:53.000)
Yeah, I can't imagine starting out a show being like, we're going to talk about a man who doesn't believe in anything
Unknown Speaker (00:36:01.000)
You know?
Unknown Speaker (00:36:02.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:36:03.000)
Like that would be a real bummer
Unknown Speaker (00:36:04.000)
Yeah, I don't even know what you could do
Unknown Speaker (00:36:06.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:36:07.000)
So there is likely going to be developments on this story, so we'll see what comes of it
Unknown Speaker (00:36:11.000)
But like if anyone who fired weapons will end up being charged
Unknown Speaker (00:36:14.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:36:15.000)
I don't know
Unknown Speaker (00:36:16.000)
But for now, the available information does not in any way support Alex's reporting on this story
Unknown Speaker (00:36:20.000)
He's just providing coverage that justifies the killing of a protester on the side that he disagrees with
Unknown Speaker (00:36:25.000)
And then he's using the fact that they had a gun to prop up that justification
Unknown Speaker (00:36:29.000)
Which is probably the most cowardly and hypocritical thing I can imagine him doing
Unknown Speaker (00:36:33.000)
And he should be deeply ashamed of himself
Unknown Speaker (00:36:35.000)
He should be getting protested by all the gun weirdos that have been his allies
Unknown Speaker (00:36:39.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:36:40.000)
For the entire time of his career
Unknown Speaker (00:36:41.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:36:42.000)
Larry Pratt should be calling for him to be off air
Unknown Speaker (00:36:44.000)
100%
Unknown Speaker (00:36:45.000)
And all of these fucking Ted Nugent should be showing up at Alex's house and telling him to suck his rifle
Unknown Speaker (00:36:50.000)
You bet
Unknown Speaker (00:36:51.000)
Or whatever
Unknown Speaker (00:36:52.000)
Like it's nonsensical
Unknown Speaker (00:36:53.000)
You might as well say I'm advocating for gun control just for the left
Unknown Speaker (00:36:57.000)
Hey, Alex is a gun grabber
Unknown Speaker (00:36:58.000)
He's a gun grabber
Unknown Speaker (00:36:59.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:37:00.000)
He's a gun grabber
Unknown Speaker (00:37:01.000)
He's a gun grabber
Unknown Speaker (00:37:02.000)
Alex does not believe in the Second Amendment
Unknown Speaker (00:37:03.000)
Certainly not
Unknown Speaker (00:37:04.000)
Whatsoever
Unknown Speaker (00:37:05.000)
Nope
Unknown Speaker (00:37:06.000)
This whole thing, if you believe in Alex, you don't believe in the Second Amendment
Unknown Speaker (00:37:09.000)
Sure
Unknown Speaker (00:37:10.000)
You believe in nothing
Unknown Speaker (00:37:11.000)
Nothing
Unknown Speaker (00:37:12.000)
Emptiness
Unknown Speaker (00:37:13.000)
Like I said, he's trying to pretend that this guy was pointing his gun at these folks
Unknown Speaker (00:37:18.000)
Sure
Unknown Speaker (00:37:19.000)
This guy in the car in order to justify that it's like, yeah, you know, you're going to get shot
Unknown Speaker (00:37:23.000)
Right
Unknown Speaker (00:37:24.000)
And I mean, it's interesting how that isn't applied to the people in St. Louis who were pointing guns at protesters
Unknown Speaker (00:37:31.000)
It's a surprise, so if they had been murdered
Unknown Speaker (00:37:33.000)
I guess Alex would have to justify that
Unknown Speaker (00:37:34.000)
I guess Alex would say that that's fine
Unknown Speaker (00:37:36.000)
Yeah, because they were pointing a gun at these people
Unknown Speaker (00:37:37.000)
They were pointing guns at people
Unknown Speaker (00:37:38.000)
Wow
Unknown Speaker (00:37:39.000)
I'm sure he wouldn't
Unknown Speaker (00:37:40.000)
I'm sure he wouldn't either
Unknown Speaker (00:37:41.000)
But that's a little game that he tries to play
Unknown Speaker (00:37:43.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:37:44.000)
And so he tries to pretend that there's proof of this
Unknown Speaker (00:37:47.000)
Here's the Austin protester with his AK-47
Unknown Speaker (00:37:51.000)
Who runs out, and again, we've got paused still shots on Infowars.com from the video
Unknown Speaker (00:37:59.000)
Showing him with the rifle up to the window of the car
Unknown Speaker (00:38:02.000)
With people beating on it, screaming, going, he's white, he's white
Unknown Speaker (00:38:05.000)
Trying to pull the white person out
Unknown Speaker (00:38:07.000)
And it's white people mainly saying and doing it
Unknown Speaker (00:38:09.000)
You can go to Infowars and they don't have any proof of the sort that Alex is claiming
Unknown Speaker (00:38:13.000)
Wow, that's odd
Unknown Speaker (00:38:14.000)
There's an embedded tweet from an account with 47 followers
Unknown Speaker (00:38:17.000)
That purports to show Foster pointing his gun at this car
Unknown Speaker (00:38:20.000)
Blue checkmark?
Unknown Speaker (00:38:21.000)
No
Unknown Speaker (00:38:22.000)
And also the image clearly doesn't show that
Unknown Speaker (00:38:24.000)
It shows Foster near the car with one arm back
Unknown Speaker (00:38:27.000)
But the angle of his gun very clearly appears to be pointing down
Unknown Speaker (00:38:32.000)
It's difficult to explain this without the imagery
Unknown Speaker (00:38:34.000)
But from the angle this picture was taken from
Unknown Speaker (00:38:36.000)
There's literally no way that his gun could be pointed at anything further up
Unknown Speaker (00:38:40.000)
Than the bottom of this car's tire
Unknown Speaker (00:38:42.000)
And the reason for that is there are things behind him
Unknown Speaker (00:38:46.000)
That would have been blocked by the gun's barrel
Unknown Speaker (00:38:48.000)
If it was any further up
Unknown Speaker (00:38:50.000)
Like you can see the back of his arm
Unknown Speaker (00:38:53.000)
So you can see where one point of the gun is
Unknown Speaker (00:38:55.000)
The back, the butt end of it
Unknown Speaker (00:38:57.000)
But it's clearly pointing downwards
Unknown Speaker (00:38:59.000)
Otherwise you would have seen this guy who's standing behind him blocked
Unknown Speaker (00:39:04.000)
He would have been blocked by this
Unknown Speaker (00:39:06.000)
The color of his shirt and his arm
Unknown Speaker (00:39:09.000)
Would not have been a thing that you couldn't see
Unknown Speaker (00:39:11.000)
A black gun barrel pointed through
Unknown Speaker (00:39:14.000)
So it's just impossible
Unknown Speaker (00:39:15.000)
This image itself is exculpatory
Unknown Speaker (00:39:17.000)
It shows that it wasn't pointed at the car
Unknown Speaker (00:39:19.000)
Oh, those 47 followers are going to be pissed
Unknown Speaker (00:39:22.000)
Also the image is not of protesters surrounding an innocent person's car
Unknown Speaker (00:39:26.000)
It's the aftermath of this car driving directly into a group of people
Unknown Speaker (00:39:30.000)
Perhaps at that point the driver felt worried about people surrounding his car
Unknown Speaker (00:39:34.000)
But the car would not have been surrounded
Unknown Speaker (00:39:36.000)
If he hadn't turned and accelerated into a group of people
Unknown Speaker (00:39:39.000)
This is a very disgraceful display Alex is putting on here
Unknown Speaker (00:39:42.000)
He's defaming a guy who was killed
Unknown Speaker (00:39:44.000)
And I think that there's probably a pretty decent chance
Unknown Speaker (00:39:46.000)
He might be opening himself up to some kind of legal action
Unknown Speaker (00:39:49.000)
Yeah, no, fuck that
Unknown Speaker (00:39:50.000)
I wouldn't be too surprised if he's, you know
Unknown Speaker (00:39:52.000)
Because that dude's a private citizen
Unknown Speaker (00:39:55.000)
It's not like Garrett Foster is a public figure
Unknown Speaker (00:40:00.000)
So fucked up
Unknown Speaker (00:40:02.000)
Unacceptable
Unknown Speaker (00:40:03.000)
I don't even know
Unknown Speaker (00:40:04.000)
Like, I guess if he had come to bat for the guy
Unknown Speaker (00:40:09.000)
Maybe I'd be like
Unknown Speaker (00:40:11.000)
Well, at least he believes in the Second Amendment
Unknown Speaker (00:40:14.000)
Or something
Unknown Speaker (00:40:15.000)
You know, like if he came out and was like
Unknown Speaker (00:40:17.000)
Look, this guy was a protester
Unknown Speaker (00:40:19.000)
And I think these people are disgusting
Unknown Speaker (00:40:21.000)
And what they're fighting for is bullshit
Unknown Speaker (00:40:23.000)
The man was carrying open
Unknown Speaker (00:40:25.000)
It was registered
Unknown Speaker (00:40:26.000)
He was doing everything right
Unknown Speaker (00:40:27.000)
And he got murdered
Unknown Speaker (00:40:29.000)
I guess I'd be like
Unknown Speaker (00:40:31.000)
Well, there's something
Unknown Speaker (00:40:33.000)
You know, but now it's just
Unknown Speaker (00:40:35.000)
It feels so empty
Unknown Speaker (00:40:36.000)
When the Second Amendment is gone
Unknown Speaker (00:40:38.000)
For Alex and me
Unknown Speaker (00:40:40.000)
It feels empty
Unknown Speaker (00:40:41.000)
Yeah, it's jarring
Unknown Speaker (00:40:42.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:40:43.000)
Yeah, and I think it's interesting
Unknown Speaker (00:40:45.000)
To try and like fantasy book
Unknown Speaker (00:40:47.000)
Like, what would it be like if Alex had principles
Unknown Speaker (00:40:49.000)
Yeah, exactly
Unknown Speaker (00:40:50.000)
And I think that we would have responded to a lot of things
Unknown Speaker (00:40:53.000)
Over the course of this very differently
Unknown Speaker (00:40:55.000)
And I think that Alex would be in a lot of the positions that he's in now
Unknown Speaker (00:40:58.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:40:59.000)
So, I mean, I think that
Unknown Speaker (00:41:01.000)
Imagining that one singular decision
Unknown Speaker (00:41:04.000)
I guess
Unknown Speaker (00:41:05.000)
Is tough because then we'd be like
Unknown Speaker (00:41:07.000)
There'd be a domino effect backwards
Unknown Speaker (00:41:09.000)
That would affect everything
Unknown Speaker (00:41:10.000)
Well, not everything
Unknown Speaker (00:41:11.000)
But certainly I think there would be a much different picture of Alex
Unknown Speaker (00:41:14.000)
Than what you clearly have now
Unknown Speaker (00:41:17.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:41:18.000)
A soulless husk
Unknown Speaker (00:41:19.000)
Yeah, I think that if you
Unknown Speaker (00:41:22.000)
I think that, you know, obviously
Unknown Speaker (00:41:24.000)
We're never going to see eye to eye with Alex on anything
Unknown Speaker (00:41:27.000)
Right, right, right, right
Unknown Speaker (00:41:28.000)
Especially political positions
Unknown Speaker (00:41:30.000)
And social issues
Unknown Speaker (00:41:31.000)
And stuff like that
Unknown Speaker (00:41:32.000)
Because he's a lunatic
Unknown Speaker (00:41:33.000)
Don't ever really expect to
Unknown Speaker (00:41:35.000)
You think that like
Unknown Speaker (00:41:37.000)
Some things transcend
Unknown Speaker (00:41:38.000)
And it just turns out they don't
Unknown Speaker (00:41:39.000)
No, they don't
Unknown Speaker (00:41:40.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:41:41.000)
They don't
Unknown Speaker (00:41:42.000)
He doesn't live in America
Unknown Speaker (00:41:43.000)
He lives in fictional fascism land
Unknown Speaker (00:41:45.000)
And so he jumps around a little bit
Unknown Speaker (00:41:48.000)
To other spots of unrest
Unknown Speaker (00:41:50.000)
Sure
Unknown Speaker (00:41:51.000)
And he talks a little bit about Portland
Unknown Speaker (00:41:52.000)
And how Mayor Ted Wheeler
Unknown Speaker (00:41:54.000)
Went out to the protest
Unknown Speaker (00:41:56.000)
A little while back
Unknown Speaker (00:41:57.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:41:58.000)
And Alex has an interesting perspective on that
Unknown Speaker (00:42:00.000)
Okay
Unknown Speaker (00:42:01.000)
And all these armchair leftists
Unknown Speaker (00:42:03.000)
Like the mayor of Portland
Unknown Speaker (00:42:06.000)
Went out to support them
Unknown Speaker (00:42:07.000)
Burning down the courthouse
Unknown Speaker (00:42:09.000)
And then they attack him
Unknown Speaker (00:42:11.000)
Because he's an old white dude
Unknown Speaker (00:42:12.000)
They go, look, he's white
Unknown Speaker (00:42:14.000)
They don't even know he's the mayor
Unknown Speaker (00:42:16.000)
Under Soros commanding them
Unknown Speaker (00:42:18.000)
They knew very well that he was the mayor
Unknown Speaker (00:42:20.000)
They knew really well that he was the mayor
Unknown Speaker (00:42:22.000)
Yeah, Alex is trying to turn this into something
Unknown Speaker (00:42:24.000)
Where it's like, oh, he's white
Unknown Speaker (00:42:26.000)
And it wasn't
Unknown Speaker (00:42:27.000)
It was because he's Ted Wheeler
Unknown Speaker (00:42:28.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:42:29.000)
The situation that Alex isn't taking into consideration
Unknown Speaker (00:42:32.000)
Is the fact that
Unknown Speaker (00:42:33.000)
You know, that wasn't just about federal agents
Unknown Speaker (00:42:36.000)
The situation and the protests
Unknown Speaker (00:42:39.000)
In Portland
Unknown Speaker (00:42:41.000)
Have to do with also the Portland Police Bureau
Unknown Speaker (00:42:44.000)
Which is under the aegis of Ted Wheeler
Unknown Speaker (00:42:47.000)
Wait, so you're telling me
Unknown Speaker (00:42:49.000)
That they don't appreciate the guy
Unknown Speaker (00:42:51.000)
Who ordered the cops to mercilessly
Unknown Speaker (00:42:54.000)
Terrorize them for 45 days
Unknown Speaker (00:42:56.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:42:57.000)
And then showed up
Unknown Speaker (00:42:58.000)
And tried to make it into a thing about
Unknown Speaker (00:43:00.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:43:01.000)
It's more of a PR kind of looking thing
Unknown Speaker (00:43:03.000)
For him to show up at the front of this thing
Unknown Speaker (00:43:06.000)
With the federal folks there
Unknown Speaker (00:43:09.000)
When there had been weeks and weeks
Unknown Speaker (00:43:12.000)
Of gassing and beating people
Unknown Speaker (00:43:16.000)
Who were protesting
Unknown Speaker (00:43:17.000)
So I think that the dynamic that is actually there
Unknown Speaker (00:43:20.000)
Is much different than what Alex wants
Unknown Speaker (00:43:22.000)
But he wants just this optical thing of white
Unknown Speaker (00:43:26.000)
Sure
Unknown Speaker (00:43:27.000)
But he's really
Unknown Speaker (00:43:29.000)
He's the one who's running all of Antifa
Unknown Speaker (00:43:31.000)
And they don't even realize
Unknown Speaker (00:43:32.000)
Fuck off
Unknown Speaker (00:43:33.000)
This is childish shit
Unknown Speaker (00:43:35.000)
I don't think he would have the same take
Unknown Speaker (00:43:38.000)
Because here's the same thing that would happen
Unknown Speaker (00:43:40.000)
If Lori Lightfoot, Chicago's miserable, terrible mayor
Unknown Speaker (00:43:45.000)
Showed up at a protest here
Unknown Speaker (00:43:47.000)
And got tear gassed
Unknown Speaker (00:43:48.000)
Everybody would be like
Unknown Speaker (00:43:49.000)
We still fucking hate you
Unknown Speaker (00:43:50.000)
You ordered the Chicago cops to do this shit
Unknown Speaker (00:43:53.000)
So Alex gets into Colorado
Unknown Speaker (00:43:55.000)
There was a shooting there recently
Unknown Speaker (00:43:57.000)
And also he spends most of his time talking about
Unknown Speaker (00:44:00.000)
From last month
Unknown Speaker (00:44:02.000)
There was a different shooting
Unknown Speaker (00:44:04.000)
And so it doesn't really talk about the current day one
Unknown Speaker (00:44:08.000)
But spends a bit of time on the
Unknown Speaker (00:44:09.000)
Whack
Unknown Speaker (00:44:10.000)
Because he already has details on that one
Unknown Speaker (00:44:12.000)
Sure
Unknown Speaker (00:44:13.000)
And we've got Colorado
Unknown Speaker (00:44:14.000)
Another Colorado
Unknown Speaker (00:44:15.000)
Oh wait there's more
Unknown Speaker (00:44:16.000)
Not just yesterday's Colorado
Unknown Speaker (00:44:17.000)
We have another Colorado
Unknown Speaker (00:44:19.000)
Where they shoot the man
Unknown Speaker (00:44:21.000)
Last time I heard he's in critical condition
Unknown Speaker (00:44:23.000)
Brain dead
Unknown Speaker (00:44:26.000)
And it was a liberal white lawyer
Unknown Speaker (00:44:28.000)
Did it and he in his mug shot
Unknown Speaker (00:44:30.000)
He's so proud of what he did
Unknown Speaker (00:44:31.000)
He shot a Nazi
Unknown Speaker (00:44:33.000)
So this is Alex returning to a story we covered a while back
Unknown Speaker (00:44:36.000)
This was about a man in Alamosa, Colorado
Unknown Speaker (00:44:39.000)
Who was shot by a guy at a protest
Unknown Speaker (00:44:41.000)
When we discussed the story
Unknown Speaker (00:44:42.000)
My position was that the shooter was way out of line
Unknown Speaker (00:44:45.000)
And it did not appear that this driver was
Unknown Speaker (00:44:47.000)
Endangering people or threatening to hurt anyone
Unknown Speaker (00:44:50.000)
I don't know any information that subsequently come out
Unknown Speaker (00:44:53.000)
That would make me revise my position
Unknown Speaker (00:44:55.000)
But I remember covering this
Unknown Speaker (00:44:57.000)
And the video does not show anything
Unknown Speaker (00:45:01.000)
Even close to justifiable
Unknown Speaker (00:45:03.000)
That said, I pulled this clip
Unknown Speaker (00:45:04.000)
Because I want to demonstrate how Alex is a complete and casual liar
Unknown Speaker (00:45:07.000)
In that clip he said the last he'd heard
Unknown Speaker (00:45:09.000)
That this guy who got shot
Unknown Speaker (00:45:11.000)
Was in critical condition and brain dead
Unknown Speaker (00:45:13.000)
Weirdly, if you look for an update on Danny Pruitt
Unknown Speaker (00:45:16.000)
Who was the shooting victim
Unknown Speaker (00:45:18.000)
You can find an Alamosa news article from June 26th
Unknown Speaker (00:45:21.000)
Which says that he was discharged from the hospital on that Wednesday
Unknown Speaker (00:45:24.000)
And his lawyer said
Unknown Speaker (00:45:26.000)
He's very pleased to have been released
Unknown Speaker (00:45:27.000)
And very excited about getting to see his daughter
Unknown Speaker (00:45:30.000)
That's not to say that he's fully recovered by that point
Unknown Speaker (00:45:32.000)
But he's on a great path in that direction
Unknown Speaker (00:45:34.000)
To the point where the doctors could release him to recover at home
Unknown Speaker (00:45:37.000)
I don't think I need to say this
Unknown Speaker (00:45:39.000)
But if you're brain dead
Unknown Speaker (00:45:40.000)
You can't do that
Unknown Speaker (00:45:42.000)
No, he was really excited to see his granddaughter
Unknown Speaker (00:45:44.000)
Which you could see on the EKG
Unknown Speaker (00:45:48.000)
George, brain death is irreversible
Unknown Speaker (00:45:52.000)
No, no, no
Unknown Speaker (00:45:54.000)
And it describes when all of your brain functions cease
Unknown Speaker (00:45:57.000)
People in that state can be kept alive with artificial processes
Unknown Speaker (00:46:00.000)
But you will never recover
Unknown Speaker (00:46:02.000)
And you will not be able to go home and heal
Unknown Speaker (00:46:04.000)
Come on
Unknown Speaker (00:46:05.000)
Alex is making up details about this case
Unknown Speaker (00:46:07.000)
Because it makes his political targets look worse
Unknown Speaker (00:46:09.000)
He doesn't care at all about factual, actual reporting
Unknown Speaker (00:46:13.000)
He's just trying
Unknown Speaker (00:46:15.000)
But he's trying to make his enemies look worse
Unknown Speaker (00:46:17.000)
By making damage that they've done seem worse
Unknown Speaker (00:46:22.000)
When just shooting the guy is terrible
Unknown Speaker (00:46:24.000)
I don't have any interest in supporting this guy for shooting that guy
Unknown Speaker (00:46:29.000)
I cannot believe that
Unknown Speaker (00:46:33.000)
I mean, in a court, I guess, like when you're determining sentencing
Unknown Speaker (00:46:39.000)
You're like, he shot him in the leg so that's not attempted murder or something, I guess
Unknown Speaker (00:46:46.000)
As opposed to shooting him in the chest
Unknown Speaker (00:46:49.000)
I don't know, and the punishment's fine
Unknown Speaker (00:46:51.000)
You don't need to add anything after shoots a guy
Unknown Speaker (00:46:54.000)
For me to be like, fuck that guy
Unknown Speaker (00:46:56.000)
Well, in this case, that's not even relevant because it's shooting the head
Unknown Speaker (00:46:59.000)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:47:01.000)
And to be perfectly honest, you could look at it from a consequential perspective
Unknown Speaker (00:47:08.000)
But a lot of it is a little random
Unknown Speaker (00:47:11.000)
Whatever happens after you make the decision to shoot somebody
Unknown Speaker (00:47:15.000)
Sometimes you can get lucky and they don't die
Unknown Speaker (00:47:18.000)
Sometimes you get unlucky and they do
Unknown Speaker (00:47:20.000)
Or whatever perspective you want to have on it
Unknown Speaker (00:47:23.000)
A lot of it's outside of your control
Unknown Speaker (00:47:25.000)
And that's why you shouldn't shoot people
Unknown Speaker (00:47:27.000)
Yeah, yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:47:28.000)
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk
Unknown Speaker (00:47:30.000)
Yeah, it's a good TED Talk
Unknown Speaker (00:47:32.000)
I think it's a simple one, but a really important one
Unknown Speaker (00:47:35.000)
So Alex has a theory, and that is that this guy in Colorado who shot this driver
Unknown Speaker (00:47:42.000)
Actually is Soros
Unknown Speaker (00:47:45.000)
No, he did this because he thinks he's going to get away with it
Unknown Speaker (00:47:49.000)
The man who was driving
Unknown Speaker (00:47:51.000)
By the way, last time I heard that guy you shot was on live support
Unknown Speaker (00:47:54.000)
Is that person even alive?
Unknown Speaker (00:47:56.000)
And you look at the guy that he's been
Unknown Speaker (00:47:58.000)
He's been given a mugshot for capital murder
Unknown Speaker (00:48:00.000)
And he looks like he's having an orgasm
Unknown Speaker (00:48:02.000)
Because he believes he'll be released from prison after the communist overthrow
Unknown Speaker (00:48:05.000)
And he'll be in a gulag over you and your family
Unknown Speaker (00:48:07.000)
Sink again, boy!
Unknown Speaker (00:48:09.000)
Ain't gonna happen!
Unknown Speaker (00:48:11.000)
We'll be right back, stay with us
Unknown Speaker (00:48:15.000)
So yeah, I guess this guy figured he was gonna just get out once there was a communist uprising
Unknown Speaker (00:48:19.000)
So this guy was like, hey, dude, they stormed the Bastille
Unknown Speaker (00:48:23.000)
They'll storm Colorado local prison
Unknown Speaker (00:48:26.000)
I will be the Marquis de Sade of this situation
Unknown Speaker (00:48:30.000)
Me and my three other buddies in the Bastille are gonna get out of here
Unknown Speaker (00:48:34.000)
I don't know, I don't know if that's this guy's plan
Unknown Speaker (00:48:36.000)
I think he might have just been a disturbed individual, maybe
Unknown Speaker (00:48:40.000)
Anyway, some people have brought up that there's this frontline report about Alex
Unknown Speaker (00:48:46.000)
That's going to be coming out
Unknown Speaker (00:48:48.000)
As we're recording it, I believe it airs this evening
Unknown Speaker (00:48:50.000)
Right, he needs to preemptively deal with that, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:48:52.000)
Kind of, but I think he's just more relishing the idea that people are going to be talking about him
Unknown Speaker (00:48:56.000)
Sure, sure
Unknown Speaker (00:48:57.000)
He's pretty excited about that
Unknown Speaker (00:48:58.000)
I don't have any knowledge about this frontline report
Unknown Speaker (00:49:02.000)
I have no idea, I wouldn't know about it unless people had tweeted at me and asked
Unknown Speaker (00:49:06.000)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I would never have noticed
Unknown Speaker (00:49:08.000)
I'll watch it, and if it's interesting, we might cover it for an episode
Unknown Speaker (00:49:12.000)
Oh, that'd be fun, huh
Unknown Speaker (00:49:13.000)
But I don't know, it might just be stupid shit
Unknown Speaker (00:49:16.000)
Are we gonna do how not to cover Alex Jones 4 or whatever number we're on?
Unknown Speaker (00:49:20.000)
Maybe, or it could be good, I have no idea
Unknown Speaker (00:49:22.000)
It could be great, we could have done a great job
Unknown Speaker (00:49:24.000)
I don't want to prejudge, it could be a Megyn Kelly situation
Unknown Speaker (00:49:27.000)
Or it could be a really well done, accurate piece
Unknown Speaker (00:49:30.000)
Time will tell
Unknown Speaker (00:49:32.000)
Let's hope
Unknown Speaker (00:49:33.000)
But Alex is excited about it, which doesn't bode well in my mind
Unknown Speaker (00:49:36.000)
While they simultaneously have Frontline coming out
Unknown Speaker (00:49:39.000)
With a multi-series show of complete fiction
Unknown Speaker (00:49:44.000)
Because I've talked to people that have been involved in the production
Unknown Speaker (00:49:47.000)
Unbelievable
Unknown Speaker (00:49:49.000)
They're actually going to say, I'm told, that Russians fund Infowars
Unknown Speaker (00:49:54.000)
Wonder how much they had to pay people to say that
Unknown Speaker (00:49:56.000)
Look at this headline, United States of Conspiracy examines how three men
Unknown Speaker (00:50:01.000)
Alex Jones, Roger Stone, and President Trump
Unknown Speaker (00:50:08.000)
Helped to lay the foundation for the conspiracy theories
Unknown Speaker (00:50:11.000)
To take center stage in America's national conversation
Unknown Speaker (00:50:17.000)
Fair point
Unknown Speaker (00:50:18.000)
On the front page of their Twitter, front page of Frontline, it's me
Unknown Speaker (00:50:21.000)
At the evil Austin rallies against compulsory mask
Unknown Speaker (00:50:27.000)
How horrible we are
Unknown Speaker (00:50:30.000)
Alex doesn't seem to be too worried or too threatened about this
Unknown Speaker (00:50:33.000)
That makes me think that either he's really miscalculating
Unknown Speaker (00:50:37.000)
Or it won't be anything that is too hard hitting
Unknown Speaker (00:50:41.000)
That's kind of the feeling, because he freaked out
Unknown Speaker (00:50:45.000)
Before Megyn Kelly's piece came out
Unknown Speaker (00:50:47.000)
And that's because I think he was aware that she had something on video
Unknown Speaker (00:50:51.000)
That he was worried about being in the actual piece
Unknown Speaker (00:50:54.000)
Totally
Unknown Speaker (00:50:55.000)
I would imagine that whatever this is
Unknown Speaker (00:50:58.000)
I honestly don't believe that he knows somebody who's involved
Unknown Speaker (00:51:01.000)
Who said that they're going to say that Russia paid him or whatever
Unknown Speaker (00:51:04.000)
I don't believe that
Unknown Speaker (00:51:05.000)
But whatever this is, it just doesn't seem like
Unknown Speaker (00:51:08.000)
I think that he's looking at this as a possible PR win
Unknown Speaker (00:51:12.000)
As opposed to something that threatens his credibility with his audience
Unknown Speaker (00:51:16.000)
In his mind, and probably reasonably
Unknown Speaker (00:51:20.000)
It's not like PBS is going to take away his audience
Unknown Speaker (00:51:25.000)
His audience isn't going to watch PBS and be like
Unknown Speaker (00:51:28.000)
Oh no
Unknown Speaker (00:51:29.000)
It seems unlikely
Unknown Speaker (00:51:30.000)
So the only thing that he can get out of this is
Unknown Speaker (00:51:33.000)
People who don't know anything about him who are like
Unknown Speaker (00:51:35.000)
How dare PBS be mean to Alex Jones and Roger Stone and Donald Trump
Unknown Speaker (00:51:39.000)
And then maybe check him out
Unknown Speaker (00:51:40.000)
And Alex can pretend it says whatever he wants
Unknown Speaker (00:51:43.000)
Of course
Unknown Speaker (00:51:44.000)
And I'm a victim
Unknown Speaker (00:51:46.000)
Bat viruses
Unknown Speaker (00:51:47.000)
Fund the info war
Unknown Speaker (00:51:48.000)
Toss it in there
Unknown Speaker (00:51:49.000)
So Alex starts rambling about Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Unknown Speaker (00:51:52.000)
Of Gulag Archipelago fame
Unknown Speaker (00:51:55.000)
And, I don't know, this is sad
Unknown Speaker (00:51:58.000)
Well the Washington Post says front page
Unknown Speaker (00:52:01.000)
Anyone that doesn't submit to us will serve prison time
Unknown Speaker (00:52:05.000)
Oh, with Antifa jail guards?
Unknown Speaker (00:52:07.000)
You know, I think I'll just go ahead
Unknown Speaker (00:52:09.000)
Yeah, we love guarding jails
Unknown Speaker (00:52:12.000)
And that's all I'm going to say
Unknown Speaker (00:52:14.000)
I guess, oh, I said I'd read this
Unknown Speaker (00:52:18.000)
I've already lost my own Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn quote
Unknown Speaker (00:52:23.000)
Let me just say this
Unknown Speaker (00:52:24.000)
We're funded by you
Unknown Speaker (00:52:26.000)
If you need water filtration, we've got the best
Unknown Speaker (00:52:28.000)
The best price you're going to find
Unknown Speaker (00:52:29.000)
Air filtration, best you're going to find
Unknown Speaker (00:52:31.000)
Oh boy
Unknown Speaker (00:52:32.000)
Panic
Unknown Speaker (00:52:33.000)
Sell
Unknown Speaker (00:52:34.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:52:35.000)
I'm going to ramble about Antifa jail guards at Gulag
Unknown Speaker (00:52:39.000)
I remind myself of Solzhenitsyn
Unknown Speaker (00:52:42.000)
I don't know where that quote is
Unknown Speaker (00:52:44.000)
I've misplaced my Solzhenitsyn quote
Unknown Speaker (00:52:47.000)
Guys, we've got water filtration
Unknown Speaker (00:52:49.000)
What the fuck
Unknown Speaker (00:52:50.000)
Hey, I didn't get lunch today
Unknown Speaker (00:52:53.000)
Antifa guard, what are you doing?
Unknown Speaker (00:52:55.000)
I'm ideologically opposed to you being in here in the first place
Unknown Speaker (00:52:58.000)
Get on out of here, buddy
Unknown Speaker (00:52:59.000)
Come on, man
Unknown Speaker (00:53:00.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:53:03.000)
I don't know
Unknown Speaker (00:53:04.000)
Anyway, Aleks, like I told you at the beginning of this episode
Unknown Speaker (00:53:08.000)
About three quarters of the way into this
Unknown Speaker (00:53:10.000)
I lost my will to live
Unknown Speaker (00:53:12.000)
And that's largely because Aleks is rationalizing
Unknown Speaker (00:53:15.000)
The killing of a protester based on the fact that he had a gun
Unknown Speaker (00:53:19.000)
That Aleks is claiming he was pointing at people
Unknown Speaker (00:53:21.000)
But the photograph that he provides as evidence of this doesn't show that
Unknown Speaker (00:53:24.000)
Which really, really hurts his second amendment positions
Unknown Speaker (00:53:27.000)
And then
Unknown Speaker (00:53:29.000)
He has a guest
Unknown Speaker (00:53:31.000)
But I was just returning from New York
Unknown Speaker (00:53:34.000)
Where another great family spent a fortune to get me and the good senator
Unknown Speaker (00:53:39.000)
Good congressman Clay Higgins
Unknown Speaker (00:53:41.000)
To a pro-law enforcement rally
Unknown Speaker (00:53:44.000)
A pro-law and order rally
Unknown Speaker (00:53:46.000)
The biggest one, it was purported to be the biggest pro-law enforcement
Unknown Speaker (00:53:50.000)
Law and order rally in the history of America
Unknown Speaker (00:53:53.000)
They were expecting over 10,000 people
Unknown Speaker (00:53:55.000)
Because Uncle Ted was going to bring my six-string weapon of mass construction
Unknown Speaker (00:53:59.000)
And perform a fire-breathing
Unknown Speaker (00:54:01.000)
T.R.'s make a banner for the troops and boost their morale
Unknown Speaker (00:54:04.000)
At a time where the Marxist Democrat Antifa MS-13 Black Lives Matter
Unknown Speaker (00:54:09.000)
Monsters have destroyed the morale
Unknown Speaker (00:54:13.000)
Of the law enforcement sheepdog heroes across this country
Unknown Speaker (00:54:17.000)
So Ted Nugent's on to complain about losing a gig
Unknown Speaker (00:54:20.000)
That's what's going on
Unknown Speaker (00:54:22.000)
Do you know what's terrible?
Unknown Speaker (00:54:23.000)
What's that?
Unknown Speaker (00:54:24.000)
A few days ago I watched an interview that he did
Unknown Speaker (00:54:28.000)
I was trying to think of another reverse situation
Unknown Speaker (00:54:32.000)
I watched an interview he did with Eric Bolling
Unknown Speaker (00:54:35.000)
Oh wow, Worlds Collide
Unknown Speaker (00:54:37.000)
I will tell you something right now
Unknown Speaker (00:54:39.000)
Word for word he said that on One America
Unknown Speaker (00:54:42.000)
Word for word
Unknown Speaker (00:54:44.000)
That's practice
Unknown Speaker (00:54:45.000)
That's Black Lives Matter, MS-13
Unknown Speaker (00:54:49.000)
Yeah, anybody not white
Unknown Speaker (00:54:51.000)
So he lost a gig at a pro-cop rally
Unknown Speaker (00:54:55.000)
It was a rally that was in Long Island
Unknown Speaker (00:54:58.000)
Cop scratch fever?
Unknown Speaker (00:54:59.000)
Come on, come on now
Unknown Speaker (00:55:01.000)
That's not bad
Unknown Speaker (00:55:02.000)
I'll take five points
Unknown Speaker (00:55:03.000)
So that rally still went on just as planned
Unknown Speaker (00:55:05.000)
But people were mad about Ted Nugent being booked to appear
Unknown Speaker (00:55:09.000)
So they complained
Unknown Speaker (00:55:10.000)
And his invitation was no longer there
Unknown Speaker (00:55:13.000)
The organizers released a statement saying
Unknown Speaker (00:55:15.000)
Quote
Unknown Speaker (00:55:16.000)
The purpose of this demonstration is to bring people together
Unknown Speaker (00:55:18.000)
In support of the men and women of law enforcement
Unknown Speaker (00:55:20.000)
While we wholeheartedly appreciate anyone who supports the men and women in blue
Unknown Speaker (00:55:24.000)
Including Mr. Nugent
Unknown Speaker (00:55:26.000)
The controversy over his appearance is contrary to the objectives of this demonstration
Unknown Speaker (00:55:30.000)
Who knows exactly what it was about Ted Nugent that made him unpalatable for people
Unknown Speaker (00:55:35.000)
Honestly, could have been any number of things
Unknown Speaker (00:55:37.000)
Could have been
Unknown Speaker (00:55:38.000)
From the accusations of him assaulting minors
Unknown Speaker (00:55:40.000)
To his songs about how he likes to assault minors
Unknown Speaker (00:55:42.000)
There are those
Unknown Speaker (00:55:43.000)
Hard to say
Unknown Speaker (00:55:44.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:55:45.000)
But since Ted is on our radar again
Unknown Speaker (00:55:47.000)
Now is a great time to learn more about why Ted Nugent's a complete pile of shit
Unknown Speaker (00:55:51.000)
We've discussed a lot of his creepy, very clear indications that he's a predator
Unknown Speaker (00:55:56.000)
Like his song titled, I'm a Predator
Unknown Speaker (00:55:58.000)
That one is a little bit damning
Unknown Speaker (00:56:00.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:56:01.000)
That one's a little damning
Unknown Speaker (00:56:02.000)
But let's look at some of his thoughts now, Jordan
Unknown Speaker (00:56:04.000)
That's almost like
Unknown Speaker (00:56:06.000)
If you were in court and they were like
Unknown Speaker (00:56:08.000)
How do you enter your plea?
Unknown Speaker (00:56:10.000)
Hold on, before you respond with guilty or not guilty
Unknown Speaker (00:56:13.000)
We're going to play this song, I'm a Predator
Unknown Speaker (00:56:15.000)
And you think about what you're going to say
Unknown Speaker (00:56:17.000)
That's like imagining the defense lawyer for sea murder
Unknown Speaker (00:56:20.000)
And he was on trial for homicide
Unknown Speaker (00:56:22.000)
It's like, what's your client's name?
Unknown Speaker (00:56:24.000)
Ooh
Unknown Speaker (00:56:25.000)
Uh, okay
Unknown Speaker (00:56:27.000)
I'd like to point you to the sea murder lyric
Unknown Speaker (00:56:29.000)
You take the sea out of my name and you're left with a homicide
Unknown Speaker (00:56:32.000)
Right
Unknown Speaker (00:56:33.000)
It's going to be an uphill battle
Unknown Speaker (00:56:34.000)
Alright, so I'm going to struggle with this one
Unknown Speaker (00:56:36.000)
Mr. Nugent, did you write the song Jail Bait?
Unknown Speaker (00:56:38.000)
Plead the Fifth
Unknown Speaker (00:56:40.000)
So I'd like to talk to you now, Jordan
Unknown Speaker (00:56:43.000)
About Ted Nugent's thoughts about apartheid
Unknown Speaker (00:56:46.000)
Sure, great
Unknown Speaker (00:56:47.000)
I'm sure they're fantastic
Unknown Speaker (00:56:49.000)
What is he, Elon Musk now? Christ
Unknown Speaker (00:56:51.000)
There's an interesting article
Unknown Speaker (00:56:53.000)
That interviewed Ted Nugent back in 1990
Unknown Speaker (00:56:55.000)
From the Detroit Free Press
Unknown Speaker (00:56:57.000)
And man, this stuff has not aged well
Unknown Speaker (00:56:59.000)
Oh boy
Unknown Speaker (00:57:00.000)
As it happens, back in 1990
Unknown Speaker (00:57:02.000)
Ted Nugent had a ranch in South Africa
Unknown Speaker (00:57:04.000)
That he used for bowhunters
Unknown Speaker (00:57:06.000)
Really?
Unknown Speaker (00:57:07.000)
Yup
Unknown Speaker (00:57:08.000)
What?
Unknown Speaker (00:57:09.000)
He's that guy?
Unknown Speaker (00:57:10.000)
Oh yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:57:11.000)
He's a fucking
Unknown Speaker (00:57:12.000)
Jesus Christ, did he write a song called
Unknown Speaker (00:57:14.000)
I Love Rhodesia too?
Unknown Speaker (00:57:16.000)
Might as well have
Unknown Speaker (00:57:17.000)
Christ
Unknown Speaker (00:57:18.000)
When asked about his ranch and apartheid
Unknown Speaker (00:57:20.000)
Ted said, quote
Unknown Speaker (00:57:21.000)
My being there isn't going to affect the political structure
Unknown Speaker (00:57:24.000)
Besides, apartheid isn't that cut and dry
Unknown Speaker (00:57:26.000)
All men are not created equal
Unknown Speaker (00:57:28.000)
Oh boy
Unknown Speaker (00:57:29.000)
The preponderance of South Africa is a different breed of man
Unknown Speaker (00:57:33.000)
Whoa
Unknown Speaker (00:57:34.000)
Okay, so let me, let me, let me, actually
Unknown Speaker (00:57:37.000)
You know what, let's point this, let's get this down to the very brass tacks, Dan
Unknown Speaker (00:57:41.000)
Uh huh
Unknown Speaker (00:57:42.000)
Alright
Unknown Speaker (00:57:43.000)
Apartheid is incredibly cut and dry
Unknown Speaker (00:57:45.000)
Not according to Ted Nugent
Unknown Speaker (00:57:46.000)
In fact, you could say
Unknown Speaker (00:57:48.000)
That this is a situation
Unknown Speaker (00:57:50.000)
That is a black and white issue
Unknown Speaker (00:57:52.000)
You're either good or bad on apartheid
Unknown Speaker (00:57:54.000)
Well, I mean
Unknown Speaker (00:57:55.000)
Zero middle ground
Unknown Speaker (00:57:56.000)
I mean, he said literally right after that
Unknown Speaker (00:57:58.000)
All men are not created equal
Unknown Speaker (00:58:00.000)
Exactly, so it's not, it's not, there's no murky understanding
Unknown Speaker (00:58:03.000)
He literally understands
Unknown Speaker (00:58:05.000)
I thought that that truth was self-evident that all men were created
Unknown Speaker (00:58:07.000)
Well, hold on now, one second
Unknown Speaker (00:58:09.000)
Uh huh
Unknown Speaker (00:58:10.000)
Not in South Africa
Unknown Speaker (00:58:11.000)
So he says, the preponderance of South Africa is a different breed of man
Unknown Speaker (00:58:15.000)
And then he follows that up by saying, quote
Unknown Speaker (00:58:17.000)
I mean that with no disrespect
Unknown Speaker (00:58:19.000)
What?!
Unknown Speaker (00:58:21.000)
That?
Unknown Speaker (00:58:23.000)
God damn it, somebody, somebody, god damn it
Unknown Speaker (00:58:26.000)
Nugent went on to say, quote
Unknown Speaker (00:58:28.000)
They are still people of the earth, but they're different
Unknown Speaker (00:58:30.000)
They put on, they put bones in their noses
Unknown Speaker (00:58:33.000)
They still walk around naked, they wipe their butts with their hands
Unknown Speaker (00:58:36.000)
And when I kill an antelope for them, their preference is the gut pile
Unknown Speaker (00:58:40.000)
That's what they fucking want to eat, the intestines
Unknown Speaker (00:58:42.000)
These are different people
Unknown Speaker (00:58:44.000)
You give them toothpaste, they fucking eat it
Unknown Speaker (00:58:46.000)
I hope they don't become civilized
Unknown Speaker (00:58:48.000)
Hmm, you know
Unknown Speaker (00:58:51.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:58:52.000)
You know
Unknown Speaker (00:58:53.000)
The article also mentions that his upcoming tour of Japan is called the quote
Unknown Speaker (00:58:57.000)
Japwhack tour
Unknown Speaker (00:58:59.000)
Which Ted explains thusly
Unknown Speaker (00:59:01.000)
Oh no
Unknown Speaker (00:59:02.000)
Quote, I mean no disrespect
Unknown Speaker (00:59:03.000)
Okay, now stop right there
Unknown Speaker (00:59:05.000)
Here's how you end that thought
Unknown Speaker (00:59:06.000)
He says that, he says that a bit
Unknown Speaker (00:59:07.000)
The end
Unknown Speaker (00:59:08.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:59:09.000)
I mean no disrespect and no follow up
Unknown Speaker (00:59:11.000)
No follow up
Unknown Speaker (00:59:12.000)
You say N in the next sentence
Unknown Speaker (00:59:14.000)
No
Unknown Speaker (00:59:15.000)
It's a hard N word
Unknown Speaker (00:59:17.000)
Hard N word
Unknown Speaker (00:59:18.000)
Oh boy
Unknown Speaker (00:59:19.000)
Quote, I mean no disrespect
Unknown Speaker (00:59:20.000)
I'm sure the Japanese are wonderful folks
Unknown Speaker (00:59:22.000)
And if I'm with a bunch of guys
Unknown Speaker (00:59:25.000)
We may talk about babes in a certain way
Unknown Speaker (00:59:27.000)
I use the word N a lot
Unknown Speaker (00:59:29.000)
Because I hang around a lot of N's
Unknown Speaker (00:59:31.000)
And they use the word N
Unknown Speaker (00:59:33.000)
And I try to use words that communicate
Unknown Speaker (00:59:35.000)
I'm a fun guy, not a sexist or racist
Unknown Speaker (00:59:38.000)
Man, everybody who's bitching about cancel culture now
Unknown Speaker (00:59:41.000)
Right
Unknown Speaker (00:59:42.000)
Needs to go back in time and see what people got away with
Unknown Speaker (00:59:45.000)
Which is the same shit they're getting away with now
Unknown Speaker (00:59:47.000)
Yeah, and I mean every time that I said N
Unknown Speaker (00:59:49.000)
In the article, it's Ted Nugent saying
Unknown Speaker (00:59:51.000)
Straight up
Unknown Speaker (00:59:52.000)
Hard R's
Unknown Speaker (00:59:53.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (00:59:54.000)
Weirdly, later in the article, Ted explains that whack
Unknown Speaker (00:59:56.000)
Is specifically a word that he uses to describe killing animals
Unknown Speaker (01:00:00.000)
And that his quote hunting buddies are known as whackers
Unknown Speaker (01:00:03.000)
Nugent, of course, is the whack master
Unknown Speaker (01:00:06.000)
Seems like Jap Whack becomes a really weird name for a tour
Unknown Speaker (01:00:10.000)
Given that context
Unknown Speaker (01:00:11.000)
I mean, no disrespect
Unknown Speaker (01:00:13.000)
Ow
Unknown Speaker (01:00:14.000)
Also, for all of his false and faux performative patriotism
Unknown Speaker (01:00:18.000)
This passage about Nugent dodging the draft seems pretty ironic
Unknown Speaker (01:00:22.000)
Quote, Nugent wanted no part of Vietnam
Unknown Speaker (01:00:24.000)
He claims that 30 days before his draft board physical
Unknown Speaker (01:00:27.000)
He stopped all forms of personal hygiene
Unknown Speaker (01:00:29.000)
The last 10 days he ingested nothing but Vienna sausages and Pepsi
Unknown Speaker (01:00:33.000)
And a week before his physical, he stopped using the bathroom altogether
Unknown Speaker (01:00:36.000)
Virtually living inside his pants, caked with his own excrement
Unknown Speaker (01:00:39.000)
Stained by his urine
Unknown Speaker (01:00:41.000)
That spectacle won Nugent a deferment, he says
Unknown Speaker (01:00:44.000)
Though the free press was unable to verify his draft status
Unknown Speaker (01:00:47.000)
I think he's full of shit
Unknown Speaker (01:00:49.000)
Ah?
Unknown Speaker (01:00:50.000)
But also, also pun and absolutely intended
Unknown Speaker (01:00:53.000)
I'm sure
Unknown Speaker (01:00:54.000)
But also, that's a pretty novel way to dodge the draft
Unknown Speaker (01:00:59.000)
I think it's awful
Unknown Speaker (01:01:00.000)
To be totally clear, I think it's okay to not want to go to war
Unknown Speaker (01:01:03.000)
And to not want to be part of the draft
Unknown Speaker (01:01:05.000)
If they brought back the draft at any point in my life
Unknown Speaker (01:01:07.000)
I would not submit myself to it
Unknown Speaker (01:01:09.000)
But I also wouldn't try to subvert the process
Unknown Speaker (01:01:11.000)
By shitting my pants a bunch
Unknown Speaker (01:01:13.000)
There are countless conscientious objectors
Unknown Speaker (01:01:15.000)
Who, for ethical or religious reasons
Unknown Speaker (01:01:17.000)
Refuse to participate in any kind of war
Unknown Speaker (01:01:19.000)
And sometimes they pay a penalty for it
Unknown Speaker (01:01:21.000)
But they accept that as part of their political statement
Unknown Speaker (01:01:24.000)
What Nugent did was be a cowardly dick
Unknown Speaker (01:01:26.000)
And the idea of being a coward
Unknown Speaker (01:01:28.000)
Was to be a cowardly dick
Unknown Speaker (01:01:30.000)
And the idea that he would look back on this and brag about it
Unknown Speaker (01:01:32.000)
As an adult is pretty sad
Unknown Speaker (01:01:34.000)
Don't forget, he is a cowardly dick covered in his own shit
Unknown Speaker (01:01:37.000)
That's true
Unknown Speaker (01:01:38.000)
So he's not going up the ladder
Unknown Speaker (01:01:40.000)
Yeah, and into apartheid
Unknown Speaker (01:01:43.000)
Okay, okay, alright
Unknown Speaker (01:01:45.000)
So if I understand this correctly
Unknown Speaker (01:01:47.000)
A sex predator
Unknown Speaker (01:01:49.000)
Racist
Unknown Speaker (01:01:51.000)
Misogynistic
Unknown Speaker (01:01:53.000)
On top of being, you know, even worse
Unknown Speaker (01:01:56.000)
Who owns property in South Africa
Unknown Speaker (01:01:59.000)
Gets to become famous
Unknown Speaker (01:02:02.000)
Rich
Unknown Speaker (01:02:03.000)
And spend the rest of his life in the public eye
Unknown Speaker (01:02:06.000)
Because he wrote a
Unknown Speaker (01:02:08.000)
Because he's a one hit wonder
Unknown Speaker (01:02:10.000)
That seems unfair
Unknown Speaker (01:02:12.000)
I think fast ball should be still around
Unknown Speaker (01:02:14.000)
If we're measuring by this shit
Unknown Speaker (01:02:16.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (01:02:17.000)
And I think you've kind of touched on my main point
Unknown Speaker (01:02:19.000)
And that is that Ted Nugent is a racist predatory monster
Unknown Speaker (01:02:22.000)
Who is the brain of a weapons obsessed child
Unknown Speaker (01:02:24.000)
And hasn't even ever had an album or a single
Unknown Speaker (01:02:27.000)
Reach the top ten on the charts
Unknown Speaker (01:02:29.000)
And has never had a number one single
Unknown Speaker (01:02:31.000)
And his highest peaking album was Scream Dream
Unknown Speaker (01:02:33.000)
Which reached number 13 40 years ago
Unknown Speaker (01:02:36.000)
He's a worthless sack of shit
Unknown Speaker (01:02:38.000)
Who's not even relevant in his primary occupation
Unknown Speaker (01:02:40.000)
Which is music
Unknown Speaker (01:02:41.000)
So yeah, it makes sense that people wouldn't want him booked at an event
Unknown Speaker (01:02:44.000)
Regardless of the event's character
Unknown Speaker (01:02:46.000)
He makes your event look bad
Unknown Speaker (01:02:48.000)
Because if he's there, it implies that you paid him to be there
Unknown Speaker (01:02:51.000)
And if you paid him to be there, you're an asshole
Unknown Speaker (01:02:53.000)
Whiny ass Ted
Unknown Speaker (01:02:55.000)
Coming on Infowars to complain about losing a gig
Unknown Speaker (01:02:57.000)
Because of his long and very overt past
Unknown Speaker (01:02:59.000)
Of being a piece of shit
Unknown Speaker (01:03:01.000)
So toxic that even a pro cop rally
Unknown Speaker (01:03:03.000)
Had some reservations about being associated with him
Unknown Speaker (01:03:05.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (01:03:06.000)
What a bunch of babies
Unknown Speaker (01:03:08.000)
All, uh, ATAD
Unknown Speaker (01:03:09.000)
Uh, all Ted's are bad
Unknown Speaker (01:03:11.000)
Ted Wheeler, Ted Nugent
Unknown Speaker (01:03:13.000)
Ted Nugent, we got two bad, three
Unknown Speaker (01:03:15.000)
Three for three on Ted's
Unknown Speaker (01:03:17.000)
I'm sure there's some good Ted's out there, what about the movie Ted?
Unknown Speaker (01:03:19.000)
Uh, movie Ted, not good
Unknown Speaker (01:03:21.000)
I mean, better off Ted was pretty good
Unknown Speaker (01:03:23.000)
That was a pretty clever sitcom
Unknown Speaker (01:03:25.000)
Yeah, uh, drop dead Ted
Unknown Speaker (01:03:27.000)
That is the, I don't think that's the one
Unknown Speaker (01:03:29.000)
Was Martin Shorten drop dead Ted?
Unknown Speaker (01:03:31.000)
No, that was Clifford
Unknown Speaker (01:03:33.000)
Oh, gotcha
Unknown Speaker (01:03:35.000)
So it wasn't that the pro cop rally
Unknown Speaker (01:03:37.000)
They rejected Ted
Unknown Speaker (01:03:39.000)
Per se
Unknown Speaker (01:03:41.000)
Although they and the organizers
Unknown Speaker (01:03:43.000)
Seemed alright with it
Unknown Speaker (01:03:45.000)
Once he wasn't coming
Unknown Speaker (01:03:47.000)
The issue came down to something else
Unknown Speaker (01:03:49.000)
Which is that Ted Nugent got threatened
Unknown Speaker (01:03:51.000)
By Andrew Cuomo
Unknown Speaker (01:03:53.000)
And I literally was threatened
Unknown Speaker (01:03:55.000)
By Mary, by
Unknown Speaker (01:03:57.000)
Governor Cuomo
Unknown Speaker (01:03:59.000)
And his hand picked
Unknown Speaker (01:04:01.000)
Marxist health department Nazis
Unknown Speaker (01:04:03.000)
That if I set
Unknown Speaker (01:04:05.000)
Foot in New York
Unknown Speaker (01:04:07.000)
To play the national anthem
Unknown Speaker (01:04:09.000)
And thank the law enforcement heroes
Unknown Speaker (01:04:11.000)
If I dare enter
Unknown Speaker (01:04:13.000)
His communist New York
Unknown Speaker (01:04:15.000)
Area, I would be put under
Unknown Speaker (01:04:17.000)
House arrest and quarantine
Unknown Speaker (01:04:19.000)
For 14 days
Unknown Speaker (01:04:21.000)
Thereby destroying
Unknown Speaker (01:04:23.000)
The only chance
Unknown Speaker (01:04:25.000)
To have a morale boost by the heroes
Unknown Speaker (01:04:27.000)
Of the NYPD
Unknown Speaker (01:04:29.000)
And boy are they
Unknown Speaker (01:04:31.000)
Pissed
Unknown Speaker (01:04:33.000)
I'm pretty sure that Andrew Cuomo didn't personally threaten
Unknown Speaker (01:04:35.000)
Ted Nugent
Unknown Speaker (01:04:37.000)
In this article in the Long Island Press
Unknown Speaker (01:04:39.000)
They say that Nassau County executive
Unknown Speaker (01:04:41.000)
One of them said
Unknown Speaker (01:04:43.000)
The reason for his absence, Ted
Unknown Speaker (01:04:45.000)
Is that because he was
Unknown Speaker (01:04:47.000)
Reminded of New York State's quarantine orders
Unknown Speaker (01:04:49.000)
And Nassau County's protest protocols
Unknown Speaker (01:04:51.000)
Travelers to New York from over
Unknown Speaker (01:04:53.000)
30 states with significant community
Unknown Speaker (01:04:55.000)
Coronavirus spread are required to quarantine
Unknown Speaker (01:04:57.000)
For 14 days per Governor Cuomo's
Unknown Speaker (01:04:59.000)
Executive order
Unknown Speaker (01:05:01.000)
It's not specific to him
Unknown Speaker (01:05:03.000)
He's from Texas
Unknown Speaker (01:05:05.000)
This is a convenient way for everyone involved to save face
Unknown Speaker (01:05:07.000)
The quarantine rules exist
Unknown Speaker (01:05:09.000)
And Nugent is coming from Texas
Unknown Speaker (01:05:11.000)
Which is an at risk state currently
Unknown Speaker (01:05:13.000)
Where New York covers their base
Unknown Speaker (01:05:15.000)
The city council in Long Island
Unknown Speaker (01:05:17.000)
Obviously didn't want Ted coming
Unknown Speaker (01:05:19.000)
So they solved that problem
Unknown Speaker (01:05:21.000)
The rally organizers realized that they were going to look real bad
Unknown Speaker (01:05:23.000)
If they have Ted at their rally
Unknown Speaker (01:05:25.000)
So that solves that problem for them
Unknown Speaker (01:05:27.000)
Ted probably would have liked to go
Unknown Speaker (01:05:29.000)
But this is just as good
Unknown Speaker (01:05:31.000)
He gets to play the victim and yell about Cuomo
Unknown Speaker (01:05:33.000)
Trying to personally bar him from the state
Unknown Speaker (01:05:35.000)
Everybody gets what they need out of this situation
Unknown Speaker (01:05:37.000)
And no issues are really resolved
Unknown Speaker (01:05:39.000)
When there is a big issue that needs to be
Unknown Speaker (01:05:41.000)
And that is that Ted Nugent has no place
Unknown Speaker (01:05:43.000)
In adult society
Unknown Speaker (01:05:45.000)
If he wants to live out his days being a racist creep
Unknown Speaker (01:05:47.000)
Shooting arrows at animals privately
Unknown Speaker (01:05:49.000)
I can't stop him from that
Unknown Speaker (01:05:51.000)
But there's no reason that anyone should ever accept the notion
Unknown Speaker (01:05:53.000)
That he's a voice worth having in the public sphere
Unknown Speaker (01:05:55.000)
His music career is embarrassing
Unknown Speaker (01:05:57.000)
Compared to his contemporaries
Unknown Speaker (01:05:59.000)
And his existence as a political figure is basically
Unknown Speaker (01:06:01.000)
Just him yelling that Obama needs to suck his rifle
Unknown Speaker (01:06:03.000)
At this point, people need to treat him
Unknown Speaker (01:06:05.000)
Like who he is
Unknown Speaker (01:06:07.000)
A loser Infowars guest
Unknown Speaker (01:06:09.000)
Some event is booking him
Unknown Speaker (01:06:11.000)
It's not because he's a draw or because he's good at guitar
Unknown Speaker (01:06:13.000)
It's a political statement
Unknown Speaker (01:06:15.000)
They're supporting his brand of racist extremist politics
Unknown Speaker (01:06:17.000)
So quite honestly
Unknown Speaker (01:06:19.000)
Anytime Nugent has a show anywhere
Unknown Speaker (01:06:21.000)
It should get protested
Unknown Speaker (01:06:23.000)
He shouldn't be welcome as a public figure
Unknown Speaker (01:06:25.000)
Full stop
Unknown Speaker (01:06:27.000)
He has worn out his welcome long ago
Unknown Speaker (01:06:29.000)
And he should be treated as such
Unknown Speaker (01:06:31.000)
Anytime someone has him on
Unknown Speaker (01:06:33.000)
It's not because
Unknown Speaker (01:06:35.000)
Wango Tango rocks
Unknown Speaker (01:06:37.000)
I mean like hey sure
Unknown Speaker (01:06:39.000)
If he's doing a concert
Unknown Speaker (01:06:41.000)
Or something
Unknown Speaker (01:06:43.000)
Maybe that's not a political statement
Unknown Speaker (01:06:45.000)
It's some theater to book him on his tour
Unknown Speaker (01:06:47.000)
Or whatever
Unknown Speaker (01:06:49.000)
Whatever, it is what it is
Unknown Speaker (01:06:51.000)
But for this rally
Unknown Speaker (01:06:53.000)
To have him come do the national anthem
Unknown Speaker (01:06:55.000)
That's different
Unknown Speaker (01:06:57.000)
I think I completely disagree with you on that
Unknown Speaker (01:06:59.000)
I might also
Unknown Speaker (01:07:01.000)
I mean if it was a comic
Unknown Speaker (01:07:03.000)
And they were
Unknown Speaker (01:07:05.000)
A racist piece of shit
Unknown Speaker (01:07:07.000)
Predator
Unknown Speaker (01:07:09.000)
And they got booked at a club
Unknown Speaker (01:07:11.000)
I'd be like
Unknown Speaker (01:07:13.000)
You're making a political statement
Unknown Speaker (01:07:15.000)
Which is that it's okay to be a comic
Unknown Speaker (01:07:17.000)
And be a racist predator
Unknown Speaker (01:07:19.000)
You may be right
Unknown Speaker (01:07:21.000)
Fuck you
Unknown Speaker (01:07:23.000)
That might be true
Unknown Speaker (01:07:25.000)
I guess I hadn't given a whole lot of thought
Unknown Speaker (01:07:27.000)
To the music business
Unknown Speaker (01:07:29.000)
Well that's fair
Unknown Speaker (01:07:31.000)
Maybe it is more of a
Unknown Speaker (01:07:33.000)
Something Ted Nugent does
Unknown Speaker (01:07:35.000)
He should just be yelled into bow hunting
Unknown Speaker (01:07:37.000)
Privately for the rest of his life
Unknown Speaker (01:07:39.000)
He should be called a whiny loser
Unknown Speaker (01:07:41.000)
Every time he walks out his door
Unknown Speaker (01:07:43.000)
And everybody should remind him
Unknown Speaker (01:07:45.000)
Of him banning guns at his own concert
Unknown Speaker (01:07:47.000)
Totally
Unknown Speaker (01:07:49.000)
You're a whiny loser who doesn't
Unknown Speaker (01:07:51.000)
Believe in your own bullshit
Unknown Speaker (01:07:53.000)
So shut the fuck up and go away
Unknown Speaker (01:07:55.000)
And stop it with this bullshit too
Unknown Speaker (01:07:57.000)
Where he's trying
Unknown Speaker (01:07:59.000)
You can hear it in that last clip
Unknown Speaker (01:08:01.000)
Where it's just like, well the real victims
Unknown Speaker (01:08:03.000)
Are the great policemen who don't get to hear
Unknown Speaker (01:08:05.000)
Me play the national anthem
Unknown Speaker (01:08:07.000)
My buddy flew me back home and I got out
Unknown Speaker (01:08:09.000)
My bow and arrow and my fishing rod
Unknown Speaker (01:08:11.000)
And I spent a wonderful couple days with my dogs
Unknown Speaker (01:08:13.000)
On my miraculous paradise here in Texas
Unknown Speaker (01:08:15.000)
So they didn't hurt
Unknown Speaker (01:08:17.000)
Ted Nugent at all
Unknown Speaker (01:08:19.000)
I mean, are you kidding me? What can they possibly do to me?
Unknown Speaker (01:08:21.000)
And I'll tell you what, nothing
Unknown Speaker (01:08:23.000)
But you know what they hurt?
Unknown Speaker (01:08:25.000)
They hurt the spirit
Unknown Speaker (01:08:27.000)
And the morale of the
Unknown Speaker (01:08:29.000)
York Police Department heroes
Unknown Speaker (01:08:31.000)
And their families
Unknown Speaker (01:08:33.000)
Well that's the next thing is, they're open season
Unknown Speaker (01:08:35.000)
The left wants to brutalize the police
Unknown Speaker (01:08:37.000)
Not to get rid of them, but to take them over
Unknown Speaker (01:08:39.000)
Oh no, what will the police morale
Unknown Speaker (01:08:41.000)
Be without Ted Nugent playing
Unknown Speaker (01:08:45.000)
I think the phrase I'm looking for is
Unknown Speaker (01:08:47.000)
Delusions of grandeur
Unknown Speaker (01:08:49.000)
I think that's the one I'm looking for
Unknown Speaker (01:08:51.000)
I think it's partially that
Unknown Speaker (01:08:53.000)
And I think it's partially also just like
Unknown Speaker (01:08:55.000)
This is a way I can acceptably talk about this
Unknown Speaker (01:08:57.000)
What I need to do
Unknown Speaker (01:08:59.000)
Self aggrandize
Unknown Speaker (01:09:01.000)
You know who's the victim here?
Unknown Speaker (01:09:03.000)
I didn't get a check
Unknown Speaker (01:09:05.000)
And people didn't get to enjoy my sweet licks
Unknown Speaker (01:09:07.000)
You know who's the real victim here?
Unknown Speaker (01:09:09.000)
At the end of the day, once again
Unknown Speaker (01:09:11.000)
South Africans! What the fuck is he doing?
Unknown Speaker (01:09:13.000)
I don't know if he still has that ranch
Unknown Speaker (01:09:15.000)
That article was from 1990
Unknown Speaker (01:09:17.000)
Fuck him
Unknown Speaker (01:09:19.000)
I would say that
Unknown Speaker (01:09:21.000)
I can't find any articles that are like
Unknown Speaker (01:09:23.000)
Ted Nugent profusely apologizes
Unknown Speaker (01:09:25.000)
For equivocating and supporting
Unknown Speaker (01:09:27.000)
Apartheid, saying it's not
Unknown Speaker (01:09:29.000)
A cut and dry issue
Unknown Speaker (01:09:31.000)
That leads me to believe that he maybe didn't have a personal
Unknown Speaker (01:09:33.000)
Evolution on the subject
Unknown Speaker (01:09:35.000)
Very much doubt it
Unknown Speaker (01:09:37.000)
Not good. So here, Ted
Unknown Speaker (01:09:39.000)
Nugent is expressing his belief
Unknown Speaker (01:09:41.000)
That a bunch of different groups
Unknown Speaker (01:09:43.000)
They're all really just the same thing
Unknown Speaker (01:09:45.000)
By the way, there's no difference between
Unknown Speaker (01:09:47.000)
Democrats, Antifa,
Unknown Speaker (01:09:49.000)
MS-13, the jihadists,
Unknown Speaker (01:09:51.000)
And the Black Lives Matter
Unknown Speaker (01:09:53.000)
They're all
Unknown Speaker (01:09:55.000)
Dedicated to destroy the very
Unknown Speaker (01:09:57.000)
Well that's my next question for you
Unknown Speaker (01:09:59.000)
We only got you one more segment here and I appreciate the time on this Sunday
Unknown Speaker (01:10:01.000)
They're all the same, man
Unknown Speaker (01:10:03.000)
All these groups are the same
Unknown Speaker (01:10:05.000)
Cool. Very dumb. Very dumb
Unknown Speaker (01:10:07.000)
Very stupid child
Unknown Speaker (01:10:09.000)
It should not be taken seriously
Unknown Speaker (01:10:11.000)
In any capacity
Unknown Speaker (01:10:13.000)
So he starts talking about this
Unknown Speaker (01:10:15.000)
New initiative that he has called Hunt the Vote
Unknown Speaker (01:10:17.000)
Earth Defense Force
Unknown Speaker (01:10:19.000)
Oh, that'd be great
Unknown Speaker (01:10:21.000)
Hunt the Vote
Unknown Speaker (01:10:23.000)
Hunt the Vote
Unknown Speaker (01:10:25.000)
Which sounds fucking scary
Unknown Speaker (01:10:27.000)
Well in the 90s we had Rock the Vote
Unknown Speaker (01:10:29.000)
And now here we are
Unknown Speaker (01:10:31.000)
It sounds like he's going to go to inner city precincts
Unknown Speaker (01:10:33.000)
And voting centers with a bow
Unknown Speaker (01:10:35.000)
It sounds like when you say Hunt the Vote
Unknown Speaker (01:10:37.000)
No
Unknown Speaker (01:10:39.000)
It doesn't sound the same as Rock the Vote
Unknown Speaker (01:10:41.000)
No, what he's going to do is
Unknown Speaker (01:10:43.000)
Calmly track individual voters
Unknown Speaker (01:10:45.000)
And get them in his
Unknown Speaker (01:10:47.000)
Sites and then convince
Unknown Speaker (01:10:49.000)
Them to vote for Trump
Unknown Speaker (01:10:51.000)
Using rhetoric that he's very good at
Unknown Speaker (01:10:53.000)
The issue that I find is like
Unknown Speaker (01:10:55.000)
Hunt the Vote is
Unknown Speaker (01:10:57.000)
You know, the object of
Unknown Speaker (01:10:59.000)
Hunt is the thing that is killed
Unknown Speaker (01:11:01.000)
And is attacked
Unknown Speaker (01:11:03.000)
Rock the Vote, when you rock something
Unknown Speaker (01:11:05.000)
You're making it better
Unknown Speaker (01:11:07.000)
You're rocking the venue
Unknown Speaker (01:11:09.000)
You're having a great time
Unknown Speaker (01:11:11.000)
When you say Rock the Vote, it's kind of like
Unknown Speaker (01:11:13.000)
We're having a good time
Unknown Speaker (01:11:15.000)
We're going to get mud honey to play
Unknown Speaker (01:11:17.000)
Rock the Vote
Unknown Speaker (01:11:19.000)
Fucked up
Unknown Speaker (01:11:21.000)
Here's what I'm going to call it
Unknown Speaker (01:11:23.000)
The most dangerous vote
Unknown Speaker (01:11:25.000)
I think this is very dumb
Unknown Speaker (01:11:27.000)
Also I went and checked out their website
Unknown Speaker (01:11:29.000)
And it does not seem to be working
Unknown Speaker (01:11:31.000)
How's it going?
Unknown Speaker (01:11:33.000)
They want people to pledge to vote
Unknown Speaker (01:11:35.000)
And what it is
Unknown Speaker (01:11:37.000)
Is obviously a data gathering
Unknown Speaker (01:11:39.000)
Operation
Unknown Speaker (01:11:41.000)
We want people to put in their personal information
Unknown Speaker (01:11:43.000)
And then pledge to vote
Unknown Speaker (01:11:45.000)
Obviously so you can contact them with a mailing list
Unknown Speaker (01:11:47.000)
Or something
Unknown Speaker (01:11:49.000)
And their goal is 500,000
Unknown Speaker (01:11:51.000)
It's like, I don't know if you're going to swing the election with that
Unknown Speaker (01:11:53.000)
You're going to sell a lot of
Unknown Speaker (01:11:55.000)
Email addresses with that
Unknown Speaker (01:11:57.000)
They were at like 10%
Unknown Speaker (01:11:59.000)
Or something when I checked
Unknown Speaker (01:12:01.000)
I don't know how long it's been, but yeah
Unknown Speaker (01:12:03.000)
It doesn't seem to be getting the traction that they're looking for
Unknown Speaker (01:12:05.000)
But Ted tries to promote this
Unknown Speaker (01:12:07.000)
These people need to just stop
Unknown Speaker (01:12:09.000)
Referring to history
Unknown Speaker (01:12:11.000)
It's not good
Unknown Speaker (01:12:13.000)
Because it is
Unknown Speaker (01:12:15.000)
Huntthevote.org
Unknown Speaker (01:12:17.000)
Just register
Unknown Speaker (01:12:19.000)
And get to the front lines
Unknown Speaker (01:12:21.000)
This is the Alamo
Unknown Speaker (01:12:23.000)
We need to shoot Santa Ana's men
Unknown Speaker (01:12:25.000)
Huntthevote.org
Unknown Speaker (01:12:27.000)
Absolutely, we've got to go to break
Unknown Speaker (01:12:29.000)
We'll do one more segment and please come back for longer in the week
Unknown Speaker (01:12:31.000)
Because things are so hot
Unknown Speaker (01:12:33.000)
You lost the Alamo
Unknown Speaker (01:12:35.000)
The Alamo was a failure
Unknown Speaker (01:12:37.000)
So now they're being hunted
Unknown Speaker (01:12:39.000)
By the Mexican army in this situation
Unknown Speaker (01:12:41.000)
But I mean
Unknown Speaker (01:12:43.000)
You've got to stop being like, this is the Alamo
Unknown Speaker (01:12:45.000)
Because you're just saying we're going to lose
Unknown Speaker (01:12:47.000)
And one of the main reasons we're going to lose
Unknown Speaker (01:12:49.000)
Is that we shouldn't have been there in the first place
Unknown Speaker (01:12:51.000)
We have
Unknown Speaker (01:12:53.000)
Invaded not our territory
Unknown Speaker (01:12:55.000)
Poorly managed this situation
Unknown Speaker (01:12:57.000)
Put absolute idiots in charge
Unknown Speaker (01:12:59.000)
Colonel Travis is a drunk
Unknown Speaker (01:13:01.000)
And now it's time to really step up
Unknown Speaker (01:13:03.000)
This is a good metaphor for us
Unknown Speaker (01:13:05.000)
Oh boy
Unknown Speaker (01:13:07.000)
Yeah, I feel like they could do better
Unknown Speaker (01:13:09.000)
Maybe they can't actually
Unknown Speaker (01:13:11.000)
It's more apt than you would expect
Unknown Speaker (01:13:13.000)
So Ted gets to talking about
Unknown Speaker (01:13:15.000)
The state of the world
Unknown Speaker (01:13:17.000)
And the things that are happening
Unknown Speaker (01:13:19.000)
Around the country
Unknown Speaker (01:13:21.000)
And I just felt like, hey Ted
Unknown Speaker (01:13:23.000)
Your racism might be showing a little bit here
Unknown Speaker (01:13:25.000)
I was there in 67
Unknown Speaker (01:13:27.000)
When all my
Unknown Speaker (01:13:29.000)
He's talking about in Detroit
Unknown Speaker (01:13:31.000)
Black musician friends
Unknown Speaker (01:13:33.000)
We always jam together and collaborate
Unknown Speaker (01:13:35.000)
We always hung out together
Unknown Speaker (01:13:37.000)
Friends of every imaginable ethnicity
Unknown Speaker (01:13:39.000)
And color and creed and walk of life
Unknown Speaker (01:13:41.000)
And then in 67
Unknown Speaker (01:13:43.000)
Oh, you have black friends?
Unknown Speaker (01:13:45.000)
They burnt down the city
Unknown Speaker (01:13:47.000)
The riders went berserk
Unknown Speaker (01:13:49.000)
And burnt down their own city
Unknown Speaker (01:13:51.000)
This beautiful architecture
Unknown Speaker (01:13:53.000)
So I have a good perspective of the good will
Unknown Speaker (01:13:55.000)
And the positive brotherhood that existed
Unknown Speaker (01:13:57.000)
Amongst all of us in Detroit
Unknown Speaker (01:13:59.000)
And then a lunatic fringe segment
Unknown Speaker (01:14:01.000)
Went nuts, much like precursors
Unknown Speaker (01:14:03.000)
To add to Faben
Unknown Speaker (01:14:05.000)
When the Rodney King verdict came in
Unknown Speaker (01:14:07.000)
And once again the idiots
Unknown Speaker (01:14:09.000)
Committed cultural suicide
Unknown Speaker (01:14:11.000)
And destroyed their own neighborhoods
Unknown Speaker (01:14:13.000)
And lives and viciously
Unknown Speaker (01:14:15.000)
Attacked and murdered people
Unknown Speaker (01:14:17.000)
So what I'm seeing today
Unknown Speaker (01:14:19.000)
It breaks my heart to admit
Unknown Speaker (01:14:21.000)
But it's bigger and worse
Unknown Speaker (01:14:23.000)
And uglier and more evil
Unknown Speaker (01:14:25.000)
That just is absurd
Unknown Speaker (01:14:27.000)
I mean like, what you have
Unknown Speaker (01:14:29.000)
There is a guy who's
Unknown Speaker (01:14:31.000)
Very committed to not recognizing
Unknown Speaker (01:14:33.000)
What came right before those things
Unknown Speaker (01:14:35.000)
No no no, not interested
Unknown Speaker (01:14:37.000)
Not interested in discussing
Unknown Speaker (01:14:39.000)
I was there in 67 and randomly
Unknown Speaker (01:14:41.000)
For no reason at all
Unknown Speaker (01:14:43.000)
What happened in the early 60s?
Unknown Speaker (01:14:45.000)
What happened in Detroit that led up to that
Unknown Speaker (01:14:47.000)
That riot?
Unknown Speaker (01:14:49.000)
What happened in the lead up to the LA riots?
Unknown Speaker (01:14:51.000)
I don't know
Unknown Speaker (01:14:53.000)
What happened in the lead up to the situation that we're in now?
Unknown Speaker (01:14:55.000)
What is the larger conversation that these flash points exist within?
Unknown Speaker (01:14:57.000)
I just can't think of anything
Unknown Speaker (01:14:59.000)
Are you interested in any of that at all?
Unknown Speaker (01:15:01.000)
Or are you just wanting to look at this
Unknown Speaker (01:15:03.000)
From an optics perspective
Unknown Speaker (01:15:05.000)
And be like, black people burn their own things
Unknown Speaker (01:15:07.000)
Honestly, no
Unknown Speaker (01:15:09.000)
What he's saying is like
Unknown Speaker (01:15:11.000)
Every now and again
Unknown Speaker (01:15:13.000)
Black people act crazy
Unknown Speaker (01:15:15.000)
And I don't know why
Unknown Speaker (01:15:17.000)
That is the presentation that he's putting forth
Unknown Speaker (01:15:19.000)
And it's like, wow
Unknown Speaker (01:15:21.000)
So
Unknown Speaker (01:15:23.000)
Ted Nugent coming on
Unknown Speaker (01:15:25.000)
If he had any principles
Unknown Speaker (01:15:27.000)
And believed in anything that he
Unknown Speaker (01:15:29.000)
Perports to believe in
Unknown Speaker (01:15:31.000)
He should be dressing down Alex about
Unknown Speaker (01:15:33.000)
His argument earlier in the show
Unknown Speaker (01:15:35.000)
About a guy having a gun at a protest
Unknown Speaker (01:15:37.000)
Somehow making it like, oh well
Unknown Speaker (01:15:39.000)
You get shot
Unknown Speaker (01:15:41.000)
But it turns out
Unknown Speaker (01:15:43.000)
Ted Nugent also
Unknown Speaker (01:15:45.000)
Seems to think that if you have a weapon
Unknown Speaker (01:15:47.000)
You're no longer a protester
Unknown Speaker (01:15:49.000)
Only they called them
Unknown Speaker (01:15:51.000)
Peaceful protesters
Unknown Speaker (01:15:53.000)
Peaceful protesters don't destroy buildings
Unknown Speaker (01:15:55.000)
They don't have Molotov cocktails
Unknown Speaker (01:15:57.000)
They don't kill retired cops
Unknown Speaker (01:15:59.000)
And they don't wear helmets
Unknown Speaker (01:16:01.000)
And have weapons on them
Unknown Speaker (01:16:03.000)
That's not a peaceful protest
Unknown Speaker (01:16:05.000)
Well, I mean, the retired cop in St. Louis
Unknown Speaker (01:16:07.000)
We have a conversation about
Unknown Speaker (01:16:09.000)
How that was a murder
Unknown Speaker (01:16:11.000)
And that wasn't necessarily protesters
Unknown Speaker (01:16:13.000)
There's a larger situation going on there
Unknown Speaker (01:16:15.000)
But leaving that aside
Unknown Speaker (01:16:17.000)
When he says there, if you have weapons
Unknown Speaker (01:16:19.000)
You're not a peaceful protester
Unknown Speaker (01:16:21.000)
Bad news about every second amendment protest
Unknown Speaker (01:16:23.000)
That has ever happened
Unknown Speaker (01:16:25.000)
Meaning that it is okay for us to
Unknown Speaker (01:16:27.000)
En masse kill them because they are walking
Unknown Speaker (01:16:29.000)
Around with guns
Unknown Speaker (01:16:31.000)
Or that it's fine if we did
Unknown Speaker (01:16:33.000)
No, I mean, he's articulating a point
Unknown Speaker (01:16:35.000)
Very poorly, because he doesn't recognize
Unknown Speaker (01:16:37.000)
What the implications of his statements
Unknown Speaker (01:16:39.000)
Are. He doesn't recognize
Unknown Speaker (01:16:41.000)
That condemning these protesters
Unknown Speaker (01:16:43.000)
For having weapons
Unknown Speaker (01:16:45.000)
Or being armed
Unknown Speaker (01:16:47.000)
Opens up the criticism
Unknown Speaker (01:16:49.000)
To everything that he supports
Unknown Speaker (01:16:51.000)
Yeah, no. He just doesn't recognize
Unknown Speaker (01:16:53.000)
It because it doesn't matter to him
Unknown Speaker (01:16:55.000)
It isn't a principle to him
Unknown Speaker (01:16:57.000)
It is a weapon that he can use
Unknown Speaker (01:16:59.000)
Against the people he doesn't like
Unknown Speaker (01:17:01.000)
That is all
Unknown Speaker (01:17:03.000)
I mean, he doesn't care
Unknown Speaker (01:17:05.000)
About the second amendment
Unknown Speaker (01:17:07.000)
No, it's disgusting
Unknown Speaker (01:17:09.000)
God, if we lived
Unknown Speaker (01:17:11.000)
In a reasonable world, every time
Unknown Speaker (01:17:13.000)
He went on a show, they would just play that clip
Unknown Speaker (01:17:15.000)
And be like, so you don't believe in the second amendment
Unknown Speaker (01:17:17.000)
At all, and he'd be like
Unknown Speaker (01:17:19.000)
And then they'd kick him off
Unknown Speaker (01:17:21.000)
That's it
Unknown Speaker (01:17:23.000)
You believe in nothing
Unknown Speaker (01:17:25.000)
If your threshold for what is or is not
Unknown Speaker (01:17:27.000)
A peaceful protester
Unknown Speaker (01:17:29.000)
Is, I mean, we could take
Unknown Speaker (01:17:31.000)
The damaging property stuff
Unknown Speaker (01:17:33.000)
And discuss whether or not that's violence
Unknown Speaker (01:17:35.000)
I don't want to have that conversation with Ted Nugent
Unknown Speaker (01:17:37.000)
But it is a conversation that you
Unknown Speaker (01:17:39.000)
It's a conversation that you could have
Unknown Speaker (01:17:41.000)
Where people could have differences of opinion
Unknown Speaker (01:17:43.000)
I would not say that damage to property
Unknown Speaker (01:17:45.000)
Is inherently violence
Unknown Speaker (01:17:47.000)
But be that as it may, leaving that aside
Unknown Speaker (01:17:49.000)
His threshold
Unknown Speaker (01:17:51.000)
Seems to be that if you have a weapon
Unknown Speaker (01:17:53.000)
You're not a peaceful protester
Unknown Speaker (01:17:55.000)
And I would challenge him
Unknown Speaker (01:17:57.000)
On that
Unknown Speaker (01:17:59.000)
He would challenge him on that
Unknown Speaker (01:18:01.000)
I would like to see you debate him
Unknown Speaker (01:18:03.000)
And again, it is now nine days
Unknown Speaker (01:18:05.000)
God damn it Rand Paul
Unknown Speaker (01:18:07.000)
Since Rand Paul has refused to debate you
Unknown Speaker (01:18:09.000)
You know what, now I want to hear what Rand Paul thinks about this
Unknown Speaker (01:18:11.000)
Is Rand Paul going to defend the second amendment
Unknown Speaker (01:18:13.000)
Or is he going to go along
Unknown Speaker (01:18:15.000)
Like a coward
Unknown Speaker (01:18:17.000)
And noted predator
Unknown Speaker (01:18:19.000)
Racist monster Ted Nugent
Unknown Speaker (01:18:21.000)
Or noted predator
Unknown Speaker (01:18:23.000)
Racist monster Alex Jones as well
Unknown Speaker (01:18:25.000)
I don't know, we'll see
Unknown Speaker (01:18:27.000)
Rand Paul, we will see
Unknown Speaker (01:18:29.000)
If you get the guts
Unknown Speaker (01:18:31.000)
Coward
Unknown Speaker (01:18:33.000)
Now that Ted Nugent has fully embarrassed
Unknown Speaker (01:18:35.000)
Himself and indicated that he is also a gun
Unknown Speaker (01:18:37.000)
Grabber
Unknown Speaker (01:18:39.000)
He leaves
Unknown Speaker (01:18:41.000)
That's where I kind of was broken
Unknown Speaker (01:18:43.000)
In terms of my interest in this
Unknown Speaker (01:18:45.000)
I don't know
Unknown Speaker (01:18:47.000)
You lose a little steam
Unknown Speaker (01:18:49.000)
Whenever one of these seemingly
Unknown Speaker (01:18:51.000)
Like the pillars
Unknown Speaker (01:18:53.000)
The keystones seem to fall
Unknown Speaker (01:18:55.000)
Like, ah, guns
Unknown Speaker (01:18:57.000)
Some people shouldn't have them
Unknown Speaker (01:18:59.000)
No, it's totally
Unknown Speaker (01:19:01.000)
I feel like
Unknown Speaker (01:19:03.000)
I'm not mad at you
Unknown Speaker (01:19:05.000)
I'm disappointed
Unknown Speaker (01:19:07.000)
You have failed on a level that I cannot even comprehend
Unknown Speaker (01:19:09.000)
And you didn't need to
Unknown Speaker (01:19:11.000)
You had no reason to
Unknown Speaker (01:19:13.000)
Sure, you could not talk about it
Unknown Speaker (01:19:15.000)
Or you could talk about it in a more robust way
Unknown Speaker (01:19:17.000)
You could talk about it with a little bit more
Unknown Speaker (01:19:19.000)
Nuance where you can protect your gun
Unknown Speaker (01:19:21.000)
Position while at the same time condemning
Unknown Speaker (01:19:23.000)
Protests if you so need to
Unknown Speaker (01:19:25.000)
You don't need to come at this
Unknown Speaker (01:19:27.000)
If you're Alex from a position
Unknown Speaker (01:19:29.000)
Of this guy had a gun
Unknown Speaker (01:19:31.000)
And that justifies him being shot
Unknown Speaker (01:19:33.000)
You don't need to
Unknown Speaker (01:19:35.000)
If your principle is so
Unknown Speaker (01:19:37.000)
Gun absolutist
Unknown Speaker (01:19:39.000)
The way Alex is, it seems dumb
Unknown Speaker (01:19:41.000)
It seems
Unknown Speaker (01:19:43.000)
It
Unknown Speaker (01:19:45.000)
Denotes to me
Unknown Speaker (01:19:47.000)
A lack of
Unknown Speaker (01:19:49.000)
Solidity
Unknown Speaker (01:19:51.000)
That's not the right word
Unknown Speaker (01:19:53.000)
Solidarity? No
Unknown Speaker (01:19:55.000)
Well, certainly
Unknown Speaker (01:19:57.000)
Foundation
Unknown Speaker (01:19:59.000)
That's the thing I'm trying to
Unknown Speaker (01:20:01.000)
Evoke
Unknown Speaker (01:20:03.000)
There's a lack of anything that's grounding
Unknown Speaker (01:20:05.000)
These arguments that he has
Unknown Speaker (01:20:07.000)
They're all just branches with no trunk
Unknown Speaker (01:20:09.000)
It's
Unknown Speaker (01:20:11.000)
It's a bummer
Unknown Speaker (01:20:13.000)
In a certain sense
Unknown Speaker (01:20:15.000)
I kind of, so
Unknown Speaker (01:20:17.000)
My armchair bullshit on this
Unknown Speaker (01:20:19.000)
Is part of me thinks
Unknown Speaker (01:20:21.000)
That
Unknown Speaker (01:20:23.000)
Because they lived through Obama
Unknown Speaker (01:20:25.000)
And they're so racist
Unknown Speaker (01:20:27.000)
And they weren't allowed to just say, we hate him
Unknown Speaker (01:20:29.000)
Because he's black
Unknown Speaker (01:20:31.000)
And we don't like that
Unknown Speaker (01:20:33.000)
They made every argument in bad faith
Unknown Speaker (01:20:35.000)
Every argument they made
Unknown Speaker (01:20:37.000)
Was in bad faith
Unknown Speaker (01:20:39.000)
So they only know how to make bad faith
Unknown Speaker (01:20:41.000)
Arguments at this point
Unknown Speaker (01:20:43.000)
They don't have anything that they believe in
Unknown Speaker (01:20:45.000)
Because what they believed in
Unknown Speaker (01:20:47.000)
During Obama's years was just
Unknown Speaker (01:20:49.000)
We don't like him because he's black
Unknown Speaker (01:20:51.000)
And you're not allowing us to say that
Unknown Speaker (01:20:53.000)
So we have to make up some bullshit about
Unknown Speaker (01:20:55.000)
He's grabbing guns
Unknown Speaker (01:20:57.000)
That's a bad faith argument
Unknown Speaker (01:20:59.000)
And so now when we're in this situation
Unknown Speaker (01:21:01.000)
I don't even know if
Unknown Speaker (01:21:03.000)
He probably doesn't believe that
Unknown Speaker (01:21:05.000)
Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't
Unknown Speaker (01:21:07.000)
But if you were to sit him down and just really get to the point
Unknown Speaker (01:21:09.000)
In private
Unknown Speaker (01:21:11.000)
It's like
Unknown Speaker (01:21:13.000)
You know you're making a bad faith argument
Unknown Speaker (01:21:15.000)
To these people
Unknown Speaker (01:21:17.000)
In order to justify the violence that you want
Unknown Speaker (01:21:19.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (01:21:21.000)
I can see where you're coming from
Unknown Speaker (01:21:23.000)
But I disagree with you
Unknown Speaker (01:21:25.000)
I would say that maybe people got accustomed
Unknown Speaker (01:21:27.000)
To this kind of behavior throughout Obama's years
Unknown Speaker (01:21:29.000)
But the stuff you're talking about
Unknown Speaker (01:21:31.000)
Those same sorts of arguments predate Obama
Unknown Speaker (01:21:33.000)
Yeah you're right
Unknown Speaker (01:21:35.000)
It's not like they had some kind of
Unknown Speaker (01:21:37.000)
Vested interest in
Unknown Speaker (01:21:39.000)
Masking their racism behind gun
Unknown Speaker (01:21:41.000)
Grabbing arguments
Unknown Speaker (01:21:43.000)
In the 90's you can just say that shit
Unknown Speaker (01:21:45.000)
The idea of
Unknown Speaker (01:21:47.000)
Clinton coming for guns
Unknown Speaker (01:21:49.000)
Or Alex making
Unknown Speaker (01:21:51.000)
Terror storm documentaries in the
Unknown Speaker (01:21:53.000)
Bush years
Unknown Speaker (01:21:55.000)
Those things pre-existed
Unknown Speaker (01:21:57.000)
Now
Unknown Speaker (01:21:59.000)
Fascists always make bad faith arguments
Unknown Speaker (01:22:01.000)
Like dig
Unknown Speaker (01:22:03.000)
Incredibly deep into
Unknown Speaker (01:22:05.000)
The fertile soil of
Unknown Speaker (01:22:07.000)
The
Unknown Speaker (01:22:09.000)
Anti-communists?
Unknown Speaker (01:22:11.000)
Sure the
Unknown Speaker (01:22:13.000)
Terrifying crossroads of anti-communism
Unknown Speaker (01:22:15.000)
Anti
Unknown Speaker (01:22:17.000)
Multiculturalism
Unknown Speaker (01:22:19.000)
Pro
Unknown Speaker (01:22:21.000)
Corporate interests
Unknown Speaker (01:22:23.000)
That intersect there
Unknown Speaker (01:22:25.000)
I think you could probably make
Unknown Speaker (01:22:27.000)
A certain case that a lot
Unknown Speaker (01:22:29.000)
Of these arguments that do
Unknown Speaker (01:22:31.000)
Go back to
Unknown Speaker (01:22:33.000)
Older times
Unknown Speaker (01:22:35.000)
They do have a racist element to it
Unknown Speaker (01:22:37.000)
100%
Unknown Speaker (01:22:39.000)
But the way that you're describing it with trying to make up
Unknown Speaker (01:22:41.000)
For arguments that they had that were bad faith
Unknown Speaker (01:22:43.000)
About Obama
Unknown Speaker (01:22:45.000)
I don't think that works
Unknown Speaker (01:22:47.000)
More like they don't even know how to have
Unknown Speaker (01:22:49.000)
An honest discussion
Unknown Speaker (01:22:51.000)
Like they genuinely just can't do it
Unknown Speaker (01:22:53.000)
Everything is filtered through this prism
Unknown Speaker (01:22:55.000)
Of bullshit
Unknown Speaker (01:22:57.000)
Really
Unknown Speaker (01:22:59.000)
I would say that there's
Unknown Speaker (01:23:01.000)
Also a possibility that
Unknown Speaker (01:23:03.000)
They don't see a point
Unknown Speaker (01:23:05.000)
In having a real conversation
Unknown Speaker (01:23:07.000)
Boy you're probably 100% right
Unknown Speaker (01:23:09.000)
There's a utility
Unknown Speaker (01:23:11.000)
And clearly
Unknown Speaker (01:23:13.000)
It works to just do bullshit
Unknown Speaker (01:23:15.000)
So maybe they just
Unknown Speaker (01:23:17.000)
Don't see the real
Unknown Speaker (01:23:19.000)
Why have a foundation anymore?
Unknown Speaker (01:23:21.000)
It doesn't matter
Unknown Speaker (01:23:23.000)
No on a fundamental level you are
Unknown Speaker (01:23:25.000)
Getting somewhere closer
Unknown Speaker (01:23:27.000)
To the truth than I can imagine
Unknown Speaker (01:23:29.000)
But my point isn't to say that I'm right
Unknown Speaker (01:23:31.000)
I'm saying that there are other
Unknown Speaker (01:23:33.000)
Options
Unknown Speaker (01:23:35.000)
What you're saying could be right
Unknown Speaker (01:23:37.000)
Or it could be an entirely
Unknown Speaker (01:23:39.000)
It's a red herring
Unknown Speaker (01:23:41.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (01:23:43.000)
Your theory
Unknown Speaker (01:23:45.000)
That they can't
Unknown Speaker (01:23:47.000)
Have a conversation about
Unknown Speaker (01:23:49.000)
Anything real
Unknown Speaker (01:23:51.000)
Also
Unknown Speaker (01:23:53.000)
It's possible that they're completely aware
Unknown Speaker (01:23:55.000)
Of how trivial and bullshit this is
Unknown Speaker (01:23:57.000)
And there's like why try
Unknown Speaker (01:23:59.000)
I don't know
Unknown Speaker (01:24:01.000)
Why try
Unknown Speaker (01:24:03.000)
Really makes it tough on you
Unknown Speaker (01:24:05.000)
And the thing that makes it also really difficult
Unknown Speaker (01:24:07.000)
Is that we just have these
Unknown Speaker (01:24:09.000)
Public facing pieces of
Unknown Speaker (01:24:11.000)
Information to go from
Unknown Speaker (01:24:13.000)
And quite frankly this show would look exactly the same
Unknown Speaker (01:24:15.000)
If Alex was incapable of doing a good job
Unknown Speaker (01:24:17.000)
Or knew that it's expedient
Unknown Speaker (01:24:19.000)
And easier for him
Unknown Speaker (01:24:21.000)
To do a bad job
Unknown Speaker (01:24:23.000)
It would look exactly the same so I have no fucking idea
Unknown Speaker (01:24:25.000)
I know that Alex is stupid
Unknown Speaker (01:24:27.000)
But I know that he's also not as stupid
Unknown Speaker (01:24:29.000)
As like
Unknown Speaker (01:24:31.000)
Like
Unknown Speaker (01:24:33.000)
Carpe tonk
Unknown Speaker (01:24:35.000)
Who knows if he's even
Unknown Speaker (01:24:37.000)
What I mean is he's not as stupid
Unknown Speaker (01:24:39.000)
As like the caricature that you could
Unknown Speaker (01:24:41.000)
Have of him based on how stupid he is
Unknown Speaker (01:24:43.000)
Sure sure sure
Unknown Speaker (01:24:45.000)
So anyway Ted Nugent's appearance on the show
Unknown Speaker (01:24:47.000)
Took away my will to live
Unknown Speaker (01:24:49.000)
And we just have a few clips left
Unknown Speaker (01:24:51.000)
Of the rest of the show
Unknown Speaker (01:24:53.000)
Alex is excited because
Unknown Speaker (01:24:55.000)
Joe Rogan has fully announced now that he's moving
Unknown Speaker (01:24:57.000)
To Texas
Unknown Speaker (01:24:59.000)
And unfortunately
Unknown Speaker (01:25:01.000)
Alex also has to recognize
Unknown Speaker (01:25:03.000)
That like yeah
Unknown Speaker (01:25:05.000)
Rogan has come out and said that
Unknown Speaker (01:25:07.000)
Stuff that I said about him wasn't true
Unknown Speaker (01:25:09.000)
Now it is true that I told you
Unknown Speaker (01:25:11.000)
He was going to move to Texas
Unknown Speaker (01:25:13.000)
He is but I did make up some stuff
Unknown Speaker (01:25:15.000)
Really? I made up some stuff
Unknown Speaker (01:25:17.000)
What a son of a
Unknown Speaker (01:25:19.000)
But uh
Unknown Speaker (01:25:21.000)
I don't know Spotify went
Unknown Speaker (01:25:23.000)
Completely crazy when Joe told me I could
Unknown Speaker (01:25:25.000)
Say all that stuff but then I kind of
Unknown Speaker (01:25:27.000)
Elaborated
Unknown Speaker (01:25:29.000)
On it and kind of
Unknown Speaker (01:25:31.000)
Added some hyperbole probably
Unknown Speaker (01:25:33.000)
Because you know I took what Joe said
Unknown Speaker (01:25:35.000)
While he's standing up to YouTube standing up to censors
Unknown Speaker (01:25:37.000)
You know the stuff he told me
Unknown Speaker (01:25:39.000)
But uh
Unknown Speaker (01:25:41.000)
I'm not going to pontificate on that
Unknown Speaker (01:25:43.000)
Right now
Unknown Speaker (01:25:45.000)
I just said you lied
Unknown Speaker (01:25:47.000)
Yeah that's a good idea
Unknown Speaker (01:25:49.000)
He said he probably lied
Unknown Speaker (01:25:51.000)
Hyperbole
Unknown Speaker (01:25:53.000)
I probably made up some stuff
Unknown Speaker (01:25:55.000)
Because Joe Rogan is one of the
Unknown Speaker (01:25:57.000)
Only things that makes me relevant
Unknown Speaker (01:25:59.000)
To people who aren't completely
Unknown Speaker (01:26:01.000)
Nuts
Unknown Speaker (01:26:03.000)
And I really want to play up
Unknown Speaker (01:26:05.000)
My connection to him
Unknown Speaker (01:26:07.000)
He's basically my best friend
Unknown Speaker (01:26:09.000)
I'm going to be honest with you
Unknown Speaker (01:26:11.000)
When people talk
Unknown Speaker (01:26:13.000)
I hear
Unknown Speaker (01:26:15.000)
So it's really hard for me to relay
Unknown Speaker (01:26:17.000)
Information from other conversations to you
Unknown Speaker (01:26:19.000)
Because it's all made up in my head
Unknown Speaker (01:26:21.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (01:26:23.000)
Very weird very weird
Unknown Speaker (01:26:25.000)
So Alex is selling a new product
Unknown Speaker (01:26:27.000)
That isn't actually a new product
Unknown Speaker (01:26:29.000)
But he's trying to pretend it's a new product
Unknown Speaker (01:26:31.000)
I think he's trying to clear out the warehouse
Unknown Speaker (01:26:33.000)
Separately ladies and gentlemen
Unknown Speaker (01:26:35.000)
We've got a solution to tyranny
Unknown Speaker (01:26:37.000)
It's only one part of the overall solution
Unknown Speaker (01:26:39.000)
And it funds the info war
Unknown Speaker (01:26:41.000)
It's very effective
Unknown Speaker (01:26:43.000)
We've tested them out
Unknown Speaker (01:26:45.000)
They're one of the best units out there
Unknown Speaker (01:26:47.000)
Sometimes right up next to a cell tower
Unknown Speaker (01:26:49.000)
It'll still penetrate through and be able to ping your cell phone
Unknown Speaker (01:26:51.000)
Track your location and steal your data
Unknown Speaker (01:26:53.000)
Stop Bill Clinton
Unknown Speaker (01:26:55.000)
What?
Unknown Speaker (01:26:57.000)
Hillary Clinton and their global initiative
Unknown Speaker (01:26:59.000)
With the NIH and the UN WHO
Unknown Speaker (01:27:01.000)
Running the contact tracers
Unknown Speaker (01:27:03.000)
Or beta testing in blue cities
Unknown Speaker (01:27:05.000)
As early as next year
Unknown Speaker (01:27:07.000)
They've already got your data
Unknown Speaker (01:27:09.000)
Google and Apple admit they're doing it together
Unknown Speaker (01:27:11.000)
Four months ago
Unknown Speaker (01:27:13.000)
Everything is tracked
Unknown Speaker (01:27:15.000)
And so when you put your phone in this
Unknown Speaker (01:27:17.000)
It's a way to control it
Unknown Speaker (01:27:19.000)
It's a way to not let it run your life
Unknown Speaker (01:27:21.000)
It's a way to not let it dominate you
Unknown Speaker (01:27:23.000)
And it slips right in your pocket
Unknown Speaker (01:27:25.000)
It's a thin Faraday cage
Unknown Speaker (01:27:27.000)
They have units out there
Unknown Speaker (01:27:29.000)
That are similar to this one
Unknown Speaker (01:27:31.000)
They're selling for $35 online
Unknown Speaker (01:27:33.000)
Amazon sells them for like $22
Unknown Speaker (01:27:35.000)
And you know they always try to have the lowest price
Unknown Speaker (01:27:37.000)
These cost us almost $12 a piece
Unknown Speaker (01:27:39.000)
So the $8 comes in to fund our operation
Unknown Speaker (01:27:41.000)
But I want you to get these
Unknown Speaker (01:27:43.000)
Think about how evil these cell phones are
Unknown Speaker (01:27:45.000)
They're so evil these cell phones
Unknown Speaker (01:27:47.000)
This is not a new product
Unknown Speaker (01:27:49.000)
For Alex but he's acting like it is
Unknown Speaker (01:27:51.000)
He had, this was like a junior
Unknown Speaker (01:27:53.000)
Varsity product that he'd have like
Unknown Speaker (01:27:55.000)
Owen sell
Unknown Speaker (01:27:57.000)
It was the Block It pocket that he had for
Unknown Speaker (01:27:59.000)
Like a while but he wouldn't
Unknown Speaker (01:28:01.000)
Dignify it with like
Unknown Speaker (01:28:03.000)
Pushing on his show unless
Unknown Speaker (01:28:05.000)
It's like a really heavy 5G
Unknown Speaker (01:28:07.000)
Period
Unknown Speaker (01:28:09.000)
We're really going hard
Unknown Speaker (01:28:11.000)
Or like
Unknown Speaker (01:28:13.000)
I don't know, I would imagine that like
Unknown Speaker (01:28:15.000)
When Snowden went on Rogan
Unknown Speaker (01:28:17.000)
Maybe Alex tried to sell some Block It Pockets
Unknown Speaker (01:28:19.000)
But it's not
Unknown Speaker (01:28:21.000)
I hear this and I'm like wow
Unknown Speaker (01:28:23.000)
You're really trying to move those
Unknown Speaker (01:28:25.000)
Gotta get rid of them
Unknown Speaker (01:28:27.000)
That seems very sad to me
Unknown Speaker (01:28:29.000)
Alex wouldn't even waste his time
Unknown Speaker (01:28:31.000)
Trying to sell it in the past
Unknown Speaker (01:28:33.000)
Yeah, oh you know what he even did?
Unknown Speaker (01:28:35.000)
He had his son selling it back when
Unknown Speaker (01:28:37.000)
He was like 17, 16
Unknown Speaker (01:28:39.000)
He was like yeah all the kids love their cell phones
Unknown Speaker (01:28:41.000)
What I do is I have a
Unknown Speaker (01:28:43.000)
Faraday cage
Unknown Speaker (01:28:45.000)
You got a product relegated to
Unknown Speaker (01:28:47.000)
Nobody listening
Unknown Speaker (01:28:49.000)
Gets to sell it, that's bad
Unknown Speaker (01:28:51.000)
So now Alex is doing it himself
Unknown Speaker (01:28:53.000)
Eh, whatever
Unknown Speaker (01:28:55.000)
So one thing I think is really interesting is that
Unknown Speaker (01:28:57.000)
Alex really wants
Unknown Speaker (01:28:59.000)
To insinuate himself with
Unknown Speaker (01:29:01.000)
The story about Sinclair and Eric
Unknown Speaker (01:29:03.000)
Bowling. He really wants everyone
Unknown Speaker (01:29:05.000)
To know that like
Unknown Speaker (01:29:07.000)
Maybe I'm the source on this story
Unknown Speaker (01:29:09.000)
Sure, maybe
Unknown Speaker (01:29:11.000)
Sinclair, bigger than Fox News, thousands of stations
Unknown Speaker (01:29:13.000)
Across the country
Unknown Speaker (01:29:15.000)
Says it will postpone and rework segment featuring
Unknown Speaker (01:29:17.000)
Conspiracy theory about Fauci with the
Unknown Speaker (01:29:19.000)
Eric Bowling show
Unknown Speaker (01:29:21.000)
I personally sent bowling articles about this
Unknown Speaker (01:29:23.000)
Last few months, he knew all about it already
Unknown Speaker (01:29:25.000)
And what did he cover?
Unknown Speaker (01:29:27.000)
NIH.gov
Unknown Speaker (01:29:29.000)
NIH lifts funding pause on
Unknown Speaker (01:29:31.000)
Gain of function research with coronaviruses
Unknown Speaker (01:29:33.000)
Dr. Fauci backed controversial Wuhan lab
Unknown Speaker (01:29:35.000)
With US dollars for risky
Unknown Speaker (01:29:37.000)
Coronavirus research at Wuhan lab
Unknown Speaker (01:29:39.000)
Newsweek, Newsweek, look right there
Unknown Speaker (01:29:41.000)
That's Newsweek
Unknown Speaker (01:29:43.000)
New scientist
Unknown Speaker (01:29:45.000)
Lab-made coronavirus triggers debate
Unknown Speaker (01:29:47.000)
Obama and Fauci transfer weaponized
Unknown Speaker (01:29:49.000)
Coronavirus chimera from bats to
Unknown Speaker (01:29:51.000)
China to 2015
Unknown Speaker (01:29:53.000)
This is the reality
Unknown Speaker (01:29:55.000)
That might have been editorializing
Unknown Speaker (01:29:57.000)
But what you see is the way
Unknown Speaker (01:29:59.000)
That he covers news
Unknown Speaker (01:30:01.000)
He just reads headlines and then starts rambling
Unknown Speaker (01:30:03.000)
About stuff that isn't in those articles
Unknown Speaker (01:30:05.000)
That you might assume could be
Unknown Speaker (01:30:07.000)
In the article based on the headline
Unknown Speaker (01:30:09.000)
Or the warped version of the headline
Unknown Speaker (01:30:11.000)
That Alex is editorializing
Unknown Speaker (01:30:13.000)
He essentially plays whose line is it anyway?
Unknown Speaker (01:30:15.000)
Every day
Unknown Speaker (01:30:17.000)
But with like really fucked up
Unknown Speaker (01:30:19.000)
Topics
Unknown Speaker (01:30:21.000)
And he screams about murder a lot
Unknown Speaker (01:30:23.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (01:30:25.000)
Oh that was
Unknown Speaker (01:30:27.000)
Ryan Stiles was big on murder
Unknown Speaker (01:30:29.000)
For a while there
Unknown Speaker (01:30:31.000)
Colin Mockery was the one who would defame people
Unknown Speaker (01:30:33.000)
That's why
Unknown Speaker (01:30:35.000)
It's not on the air anymore
Unknown Speaker (01:30:37.000)
That would do it
Unknown Speaker (01:30:39.000)
Look
Unknown Speaker (01:30:41.000)
I know it happens all the time
Unknown Speaker (01:30:43.000)
But whenever he
Unknown Speaker (01:30:45.000)
Screams it like
Unknown Speaker (01:30:47.000)
That's Newsweek
Unknown Speaker (01:30:49.000)
As a way of legitimizing the paper
Unknown Speaker (01:30:51.000)
You know like everybody's like
Unknown Speaker (01:30:53.000)
See? Even Newsweek
Unknown Speaker (01:30:55.000)
Is saying it
Unknown Speaker (01:30:57.000)
Is him saying that's a reliable news source
Unknown Speaker (01:30:59.000)
Yeah and all it really does
Unknown Speaker (01:31:01.000)
Is highlight how unreliable he is
Unknown Speaker (01:31:03.000)
Exactly
Unknown Speaker (01:31:05.000)
This isn't my dumbass saying this
Unknown Speaker (01:31:07.000)
Exactly 100%
Unknown Speaker (01:31:09.000)
I know you know that I make shit up
Unknown Speaker (01:31:11.000)
Listen
Unknown Speaker (01:31:13.000)
But Newsweek has editors
Unknown Speaker (01:31:15.000)
I'm not linking to a video of this show
Unknown Speaker (01:31:17.000)
I'm linking to a real paper
Unknown Speaker (01:31:19.000)
Now if they print anything I don't like
Unknown Speaker (01:31:21.000)
Who's bullshit controlled by the globalists
Unknown Speaker (01:31:23.000)
Obviously they're still more trustworthy
Unknown Speaker (01:31:25.000)
Than me
Unknown Speaker (01:31:27.000)
So we have one last clip here and it's
Unknown Speaker (01:31:29.000)
Alex talking about how he thinks that
Unknown Speaker (01:31:31.000)
Deaths are going to go up soon
Unknown Speaker (01:31:33.000)
Wow
Unknown Speaker (01:31:35.000)
And I think he's trying to get ahead of this
Unknown Speaker (01:31:37.000)
Because that might be something that he's going to have to spin
Unknown Speaker (01:31:39.000)
Yeah
Unknown Speaker (01:31:41.000)
And this is a weak effort
Unknown Speaker (01:31:43.000)
The cases are skyrocketing
Unknown Speaker (01:31:45.000)
The deaths are going way down
Unknown Speaker (01:31:47.000)
I predict they'll go spiking again when the numbers
Unknown Speaker (01:31:49.000)
Go up because July is when the new doctors
Unknown Speaker (01:31:51.000)
And nurses come in
Unknown Speaker (01:31:53.000)
For their residencies and they call it
Unknown Speaker (01:31:55.000)
The July Effect
Unknown Speaker (01:31:57.000)
I get into real statistics
Unknown Speaker (01:31:59.000)
Real information, real research
Unknown Speaker (01:32:01.000)
The July Effect is a real thing
Unknown Speaker (01:32:03.000)
That people discuss
Unknown Speaker (01:32:05.000)
But there isn't really a consensus on whether or not
Unknown Speaker (01:32:07.000)
It is actually a real thing
Unknown Speaker (01:32:09.000)
I'll read to you here from a 2017 article
Unknown Speaker (01:32:11.000)
In the Canadian Association of Medicine's
Unknown Speaker (01:32:13.000)
Journal, quote, a 2016 analysis in the Journal of Patient Safety pooled data collected between 2011 and 2015 from nearly 120 academic medical centers and more than 333 affiliated hospitals from all geographic regions in the United States
Unknown Speaker (01:32:30.000)
It concluded that there was no evidence to support the July Effect on survival outcomes at U.S. academic medical centers
Unknown Speaker (01:32:37.000)
Studies focused on specific specialties and patient populations have indicated mixed results
Unknown Speaker (01:32:42.000)
Despite this lack of strong supporting evidence, a national survey of U.S. academic leaders in internal medicine published in 2016 in the American Journal of Medicine revealed that most internal medicine residency program leaders believe in the potential for a July Effect
Unknown Speaker (01:32:58.000)
A 2013 article in the Harvard Medical School Review says, quote, a new study published October 23rd in circulation by researchers at Harvard Medical School, Stanford University Hospitals, University of Southern California, and the Rand Corporation has found that while the so-called July Effect is negligible in most cases, it is a serious concern for high-risk patients
Unknown Speaker (01:33:20.000)
That isn't too surprising, given that experienced doctors have more experience in high-intensity dangerous situations, but also the discrepancy isn't something that should make people avoid getting healthcare in July
Unknown Speaker (01:33:32.000)
This is an issue that only relates to teaching hospitals, where there are residents, so that's one factor
Unknown Speaker (01:33:39.000)
Other studies have shown that, quote, patients at teaching hospitals have a lower risk of dying than at non-teaching hospitals, but in July, the risk at teaching hospitals rose to the same level that patients at non-teaching hospitals faced
Unknown Speaker (01:33:52.000)
So it comes up to about normal
Unknown Speaker (01:33:54.000)
Sure
Unknown Speaker (01:33:55.000)
Something tells me that Alex doesn't get into the real research about this
Unknown Speaker (01:33:57.000)
Ah, come on
Unknown Speaker (01:33:58.000)
Instead, maybe like he saw a meme about it and then wrote a story in his head about cartoonish versions of med students killing people at hospitals every summer
Unknown Speaker (01:34:05.000)
Yeah, that sounds right
Unknown Speaker (01:34:06.000)
Real research
Unknown Speaker (01:34:07.000)
Yeah, like a resident is walking in, acting all wacky, you know, like forgetting all kinds of stuff in the surgery
Unknown Speaker (01:34:16.000)
Oh no, I was supposed to use a scalpel, I accidentally hit this person with an oversized hammer
Unknown Speaker (01:34:20.000)
Oh no! I was going to use this, but then, you know, it was a rose and it squirted on his face, it was terrible
Unknown Speaker (01:34:29.000)
Yeah, it's an interesting thing to look at, I mean, because you would expect that for people who are in really serious conditions that maybe are more difficult to diagnose or difficult to handle
Unknown Speaker (01:34:42.000)
Someone who is not as experienced could, even with supervision, could be less capable of taking care of that situation
Unknown Speaker (01:34:50.000)
Sure
Unknown Speaker (01:34:51.000)
You could imagine that being the case, it's possible
Unknown Speaker (01:34:54.000)
From a number of the things that I was reading, the issue seems to be where there can be a problem, it's administrative
Unknown Speaker (01:35:03.000)
It's not a factor of whether or not residents can handle medical situations
Unknown Speaker (01:35:10.000)
Sure
Unknown Speaker (01:35:11.000)
It's more a circumstance of like, is this hospital supervising people appropriately?
Unknown Speaker (01:35:15.000)
Right
Unknown Speaker (01:35:16.000)
And so, you know, it's not a magical thing where there's like tons more deaths in July
Unknown Speaker (01:35:22.000)
Sure, sure, sure
Unknown Speaker (01:35:23.000)
Alex is just trying to find a way to preemptively explain away why, uh oh, we might see some spiking deaths soon
Unknown Speaker (01:35:30.000)
Yeah, now it's obviously the July effect, it's not because as we see cases rise and we know that it's kind of a two week issue kind of deal
Unknown Speaker (01:35:38.000)
The lagging indicator
Unknown Speaker (01:35:39.000)
Then that would suggest that after we see all these cases rise in a short period of time, we will then see deaths rise appropriately
Unknown Speaker (01:35:46.000)
I predict that if that is the way things go and we see deaths start to rise, this will be Alex's spin
Unknown Speaker (01:35:53.000)
It's a July effect
Unknown Speaker (01:35:54.000)
Which is going to be interesting come August, but we'll see what happens
Unknown Speaker (01:35:57.000)
Brutal
Unknown Speaker (01:35:58.000)
Anyway, Alex's return to studio was worse than Saturday
Unknown Speaker (01:36:02.000)
It was not a home run
Unknown Speaker (01:36:04.000)
Saturday was boring
Unknown Speaker (01:36:05.000)
I long for the Saturday
Unknown Speaker (01:36:07.000)
Saturday was unimpactful and uninspired
Unknown Speaker (01:36:11.000)
Didn't have Ted Nugent
Unknown Speaker (01:36:13.000)
That's a win
Unknown Speaker (01:36:15.000)
And the loss of Alex's second amendment beliefs
Unknown Speaker (01:36:18.000)
That's also kind of, ugh
Unknown Speaker (01:36:20.000)
I know it shouldn't be, but it really does kind of feel like that's a blow
Unknown Speaker (01:36:24.000)
I don't know why, I don't know why
Unknown Speaker (01:36:26.000)
Well, because I think it's one of the last things that isn't racism with him, or like white identity
Unknown Speaker (01:36:31.000)
It's one of the last pillars that is kind of, you know, arguably, like I don't believe in gun absolutism in the same way that he does
Unknown Speaker (01:36:41.000)
But I definitely agree with people's right to protect themselves and be armed
Unknown Speaker (01:36:46.000)
I think that there is a valuable point to be made in defending the second amendment
Unknown Speaker (01:36:52.000)
To what extent? That's where the debate is
Unknown Speaker (01:36:56.000)
But I think that it's one of the beliefs that Alex has that's so central to himself
Unknown Speaker (01:37:02.000)
That you could look at as a political belief that you could have a conversation about
Unknown Speaker (01:37:07.000)
Like what's left is white identity and lies, and both of those things I think have no place
Unknown Speaker (01:37:14.000)
And so when the crumbling comes of the second amendment
Unknown Speaker (01:37:19.000)
You just got whiteness and lies
Unknown Speaker (01:37:24.000)
Congratulations, Alex
Unknown Speaker (01:37:27.000)
Yeah, you almost reached bottom
Unknown Speaker (01:37:30.000)
Now all you gotta do is get rid of whiteness and lies, and then you're really empty
Unknown Speaker (01:37:35.000)
Well then it'll be an interesting one-hand clapping
Unknown Speaker (01:37:38.000)
Yeah, it'll be a true empty vessel
Unknown Speaker (01:37:40.000)
Like there's nothing in there, anything could come out
Unknown Speaker (01:37:43.000)
Anyway, Alex, you should quit
Unknown Speaker (01:37:45.000)
Absolutely
Unknown Speaker (01:37:46.000)
Please do
Unknown Speaker (01:37:47.000)
But we'll be back on Friday
Unknown Speaker (01:37:49.000)
Indeed
Unknown Speaker (01:37:50.000)
We'll see what we got going on then
Unknown Speaker (01:37:52.000)
But until then, Jordan, we have a website
Unknown Speaker (01:37:53.000)
We do have a website, it's knowledgefight.com
Unknown Speaker (01:37:55.000)
Yep, we're also on Twitter
Unknown Speaker (01:37:56.000)
We are on Twitter, it's at knowledgefight.net, go to bed Jordan
Unknown Speaker (01:37:59.000)
Yeah, we're also on Facebook
Unknown Speaker (01:38:01.000)
We are, we're looking to download the right review, and if you could please find a local charity
Unknown Speaker (01:38:07.000)
Or bail fund especially in your area and help out people doing the Lord's work
Unknown Speaker (01:38:12.000)
Yep, we'll be back, but until then, I'm Neo, I'm Leo, I'm DZX Clark
Unknown Speaker (01:38:16.000)
And is there a war on Western civilization?
Unknown Speaker (01:38:18.000)
Alex, why did you interrupt me? I was in the middle of saying the nicknames that I used at the end of this episode
Unknown Speaker (01:38:23.000)
I was trying to do my bit, and no, there is not a war on the West
Unknown Speaker (01:38:27.000)
Listen, I don't know if I support this
Unknown Speaker (01:38:29.000)
Thanks for holding
Unknown Speaker (01:38:32.000)
Hello Alex, I'm a first time caller, I'm a huge fan, I love your work
Unknown Speaker (01:38:35.000)
Thank you
