Unknown Speaker (00:00:00.000)
I have great respect for knowledge fight.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:23.339)
I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys, saying we are the bad guys.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:29.199)
I love you.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:58.960)
Hey everybody!
Unknown Speaker (00:00:59.960)
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:00.960)
I'm Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:01.960)
I'm Jordan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:02.960)
We're a couple dudes.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:03.960)
I'd like to sit around and worship at the altar of Selene and talk a little bit about
Unknown Speaker (00:01:05.640)
Alex Jones.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:06.640)
Oh, indeed we are.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:07.640)
Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:08.640)
Jordan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:09.640)
Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:10.640)
Jordan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:11.640)
Quick question for you.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:12.640)
What's up?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:13.640)
What's your bright spot today, buddy?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:14.640)
Why don't you go first?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:15.640)
Oh, well, my bright spot, Dan, is gonna, it was going to be tennis, because the US Open
Unknown Speaker (00:01:19.040)
starts tomorrow.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:20.040)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:21.040)
Or today when you're listening to this.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:22.040)
So much tennis.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:23.040)
It's so much, it's such great.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:24.040)
We just got done with the Olympics.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:25.040)
It's the last major of the year.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:26.040)
It's gonna be great.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:27.040)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:28.040)
But I haven't spoken at all this year, I think, about Shohei Ohtani.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:33.719)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:34.719)
And the man, the man is a god.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:39.560)
He is not a man.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:41.159)
He's at baseball.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:42.400)
He's transcended, I mean, there's no words anymore for anything that's ever happened
Unknown Speaker (00:01:48.120)
in a sport that is like this.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:50.200)
This has never happened.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:51.359)
It can't happen.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:52.359)
It just can't.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:53.359)
What's going on with that translator?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:55.280)
I haven't kept up with that story.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:56.560)
Oh, I believe he's just in jail now.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:59.040)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:00.040)
I believe he's just in regular old prison.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:01.040)
Sweet.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:02.040)
Just doing all the, whoops, you had a serious gambling addiction and you ruined your life
Unknown Speaker (00:02:06.680)
and stole-
Unknown Speaker (00:02:07.680)
And it wasn't Ohtani's fault?
Unknown Speaker (00:02:08.680)
No, of course not.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:10.000)
Well, good.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:11.000)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:12.000)
That is so funny.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:13.000)
He navigated that scandal.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:14.000)
I mean, it's just, and that's another part of it is like, he's the only person who is
Unknown Speaker (00:02:17.759)
like, yeah, he's too busy hitting a ball.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:21.680)
And throwing it.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:22.680)
And throwing it.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:23.680)
But now here's the thing, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:02:25.080)
Can't throw the ball.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:26.080)
He can't throw the ball this year.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:27.360)
He's not a pitcher this year.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:28.360)
He's not a pitcher this year.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:29.439)
He's just a designated hitter.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:31.719)
All he does is go up to bat and then hit.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:35.879)
And he is going to probably win the National League MVP because he's the most valuable
Unknown Speaker (00:02:41.520)
player who's only doing one thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:46.099)
And he's also the best at the other thing that he does, but he's just doing this thing
Unknown Speaker (00:02:50.560)
this year.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:51.560)
And he's still going to win the MVP without doing that other thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:55.280)
I mean, it's pretty remarkable.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:57.280)
He's doing things.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:59.039)
He's good at the thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:00.120)
He's doing, so he just reached 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:05.080)
And that is for the best pitcher in the league.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:07.919)
40 home runs and 40 stolen bases.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:10.280)
Quite a few.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:11.280)
Quite a few.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:12.280)
And he's going to probably end the year maybe 50-50.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:15.639)
The only baseball player in history ever to do that.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:18.340)
So are we, is he on the juice?
Unknown Speaker (00:03:21.400)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:22.400)
Are people suspecting this?
Unknown Speaker (00:03:23.400)
Nope.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:24.400)
This is, and I mean this, quite possibly the devil.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:29.280)
Because if I was the devil, I would have gotten sick of all this sin and backroom deals and
Unknown Speaker (00:03:35.580)
all that shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:36.719)
I would have been like, hey, I sold that guy's soul and now he's really good at the guitar.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:42.520)
What if I just played baseball?
Unknown Speaker (00:03:44.080)
I tried to get into fiddle contests for a bit.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:46.360)
It didn't work out.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:47.360)
I did the whole thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:48.360)
Trying to find myself.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:49.360)
But baseball, individual sport.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:51.500)
As long as you're a designated hitter.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:52.960)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:53.960)
See, that's what I'm saying.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:54.960)
Yeah, it's a team sport in other contexts.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:57.099)
In all other contexts except for the ones that the devil would be interested in.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:01.240)
And he would play in LA.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:03.599)
He's in LA, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:04:04.599)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:05.599)
He was in the LA for the Angels and then he's in the LA for the Dodgers.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:08.680)
Of course the devil lives in LA.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:10.599)
It all makes sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:11.939)
I think he is the devil.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:13.400)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:14.400)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:15.400)
I'll buy it.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:16.399)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:17.399)
What's your right spot?
Unknown Speaker (00:04:18.399)
I don't watch a lot of baseball so I'll accept your premise.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:19.759)
To sum up, my bright spot is that the devil plays baseball.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:22.879)
What's your bright spot?
Unknown Speaker (00:04:23.879)
That's what I'm going to play on.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:27.480)
So my bright spot, as promised, it's time to talk about the challenge.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:30.639)
Hell yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:31.639)
Now that you have watched last week's episode, spoiler alert for it.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:36.500)
What an episode.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:37.500)
So great.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:38.500)
A lot of shit going on.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:39.500)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:40.500)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:41.500)
I don't know if I actually want this to be my bright spot but I enjoyed it.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:44.560)
It was just great.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:45.560)
We didn't get to talk about it and we teased it at the beginning of the last episode.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:48.959)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:49.959)
It's just...
Unknown Speaker (00:04:50.959)
Sad to see Leroy go first.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:51.959)
I saw that coming a mile away.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:54.439)
Leroy's actually not good at things.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:56.680)
I think he's a very attractive man.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:59.279)
Well built.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:00.279)
Got all those muscles and stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:01.839)
Seems like he's got a great personality.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:04.160)
He's such an awesome dude.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:05.160)
Seems like a good guy.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:06.160)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:07.160)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:08.160)
He's a great character on the show.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:09.160)
Great father, I'm sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:10.160)
All of that stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:11.160)
Not very coordinated.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:12.160)
Just not a hand-eye coordination guy.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:14.079)
I believe that some of my pre-season picks that I was enjoying and interested in seeing
Unknown Speaker (00:05:19.800)
how they played out included Leroy and Nerise and they're both gone.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:23.079)
They're both gone immediately.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:24.079)
I have to rethink everything about how I'm approaching this season.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:27.480)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:28.480)
I miss Ed from Philly.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:29.839)
Totally.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:30.839)
I get you.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:31.839)
Ed is great.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:32.839)
Ed is great.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:34.000)
It's good that Nerise is gone.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:36.740)
As much as I love Nerise.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:39.360)
But I think...
Unknown Speaker (00:05:41.639)
Or it would have been good if Horacio was gone.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:43.600)
The two of them together on the show.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:45.579)
Not good.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:46.579)
You weren't interested in seeing a love story blossom.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:48.240)
They're sick of their making out all the goddamn time.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:50.480)
They're free of each other talking about babies and now one of them can be a challenge monster.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:55.480)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:56.480)
And destroy everybody.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:57.480)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:58.480)
And the other one can cheat like they're going to do so they don't have to worry about it
Unknown Speaker (00:06:01.040)
later on in two years whenever they've, you know, they're a challenge relationship.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:06.319)
Cheat!
Unknown Speaker (00:06:07.319)
So we got all the classics.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:10.000)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:11.000)
We got a pole wrestle.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:12.000)
We got a haul brawl.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:13.000)
Oh yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:14.000)
That was one of the more embarrassing haul brawls in the history of haul brawls.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:19.279)
What was happening when Olivia just decided to evoke to go back?
Unknown Speaker (00:06:23.360)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:24.360)
That was crazy!
Unknown Speaker (00:06:25.360)
But I was watching it and I was thinking to myself.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:27.240)
So the haul brawl, for those who have not watched the challenge, is a hallway, an artificially
Unknown Speaker (00:06:32.379)
created hallway where you're supposed to run at each other and then one person comes out
Unknown Speaker (00:06:36.399)
the other side and hits a bell and you get a point.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:39.040)
Do you think they practice this?
Unknown Speaker (00:06:41.560)
Because it's a classic game on the challenge.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:44.959)
That's a good question.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:45.959)
Do you think like at home or at their gym they have like a like a hall where they run
Unknown Speaker (00:06:51.160)
down it?
Unknown Speaker (00:06:52.160)
I want to ask you this question, all right?
Unknown Speaker (00:06:54.279)
Do you think they practice any of these games, you know, like because American Ninja Warrior
Unknown Speaker (00:06:58.040)
people build the whole course in their in their backyards and stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:02.879)
Yeah, and now like on Survivor it's becoming more common for people to 3D print the types
Unknown Speaker (00:07:07.000)
of puzzles they use.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:08.519)
Crazy.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:09.519)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:10.519)
But do you have a fake hallway?
Unknown Speaker (00:07:12.319)
You get used to running down because I think that it's I think it's hard to run into somebody
Unknown Speaker (00:07:18.399)
in a hallway.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:19.399)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:20.399)
And I think it's also just hard to run down a hallway.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:22.240)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:23.680)
You're not used to going that much of a straight line and gathering momentum.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:27.480)
I think it would be tough.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:28.480)
I think I think they must practice.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:29.959)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:30.959)
Well, I mean, I remember because I played football when I was in the in the being a
Unknown Speaker (00:07:35.519)
child years.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:37.519)
And yeah, that was just like a regular thing that we did as a drill.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:41.480)
Just run at each other and hit each other.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:43.480)
And that's why my neck is great.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:44.839)
But not not in a hallway.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:46.240)
No, no, no, no.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:47.240)
Not in a hallway.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:48.240)
Although it was in some ways a mental hallway.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:50.600)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:51.600)
I mean, you had the sled that you'd like run into.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:53.879)
Sure, sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:54.879)
But this was for another person.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:55.879)
You don't have a hallway.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:56.879)
No, no.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:57.879)
Anyway, excited for this season and what it what it may hold.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:01.839)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:02.839)
So I'm not excited about this episode.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:04.680)
Great.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:05.680)
I made a big mistake.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:06.680)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:07.680)
What did we do?
Unknown Speaker (00:08:08.680)
What do you mean?
Unknown Speaker (00:08:09.680)
Starting the show?
Unknown Speaker (00:08:10.680)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:11.680)
We're way we're years late on that one.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:12.680)
Yeah, it's too late.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:13.680)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:14.680)
But what I what I have prepared for us today is a mistake.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:17.120)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:18.120)
Jimmy Dore had Alex on.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:19.120)
Oh, God damn it.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:20.319)
Anyway, we'll talk about that.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:21.639)
But before we do, let's say hello to some new wonks.

Unknown Speaker (00:09:06.000)
Bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp.

Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:11.879)

Thank you very much.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:19.799)
So Jimmy Dore was, we've talked about him a little bit in the past.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:23.639)
Alex was on his show and it was embarrassing and a disaster.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:28.440)
And he was in town in Chicago for the DNC.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:32.960)
And he did a live show.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:34.120)
Oh my God.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:35.120)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:36.120)
He did a live show.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:37.120)
Um, and it was called, uh, the, what, what is it?
Unknown Speaker (00:09:40.440)
Rumble time with Jimmy.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:42.279)
Oh my God.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:43.279)
Uh, because it's on rumble and his first guest was Alex.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:47.360)
He used to be a comic, you know, he used to just do standup comedy.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:50.919)
We're going to get some good comedy on this.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:52.080)
I disagree.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:53.080)
We are.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:54.080)
We're going to this, this hilarity.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:55.720)
I was, um, not really prepared for what I saw.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:01.039)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:02.039)
Um, I think I might give him and his world a little more credit than they deserve.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:06.759)
Yeah, that probably sounds right.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:08.600)
Um, I think it, it's a bit, it's a bit more overtly like just using right wing talking
Unknown Speaker (00:10:14.480)
points than I realized.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:16.840)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:17.840)
It's pandery in a way that I thought maybe he, because I don't watch a ton of his show,
Unknown Speaker (00:10:23.000)
I thought maybe he was above that a little bit, but nah, I don't think so.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:27.559)
So the panel is Jimmy, he's hosting, uh, Steph Zamorano.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:31.879)
The miserable liberal, as she calls herself, uh, Ross Dobbler, who I have no idea who he
Unknown Speaker (00:10:36.960)
is.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:37.960)
Mike McCray.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:38.960)
I have no idea who that is, but one of them is an impressionist, but you'll never know
Unknown Speaker (00:10:44.159)
which one because we don't have the video.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:45.960)
One of them might be doing an impression of the other.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:47.720)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:48.720)
They could be one guy.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:49.720)
And then there's Kurt Metzger, of course.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:50.720)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:51.720)
Comedian, Kurt Metzger, Jimmy introduces as Kurt Mexican and he's wearing a LGBT CIA shirt,
Unknown Speaker (00:10:58.279)
which was my first, like, okay, this is no good.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:02.000)
Jesus Christ.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:03.000)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:04.000)
T-shirt based humor should just disappear.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:05.840)
If it's a good joke, I'll give it a pass, but this is a, that, that, uh, is a message.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:10.960)
In real life, perhaps, but on a stage you're making the choice to inflict that upon others
Unknown Speaker (00:11:16.639)
and I find it disgusting.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:18.159)
So yeah, his show, it's live Chicago and it's interesting because this title rumble time
Unknown Speaker (00:11:23.960)
with Jimmy Dore, it would suggest that maybe this is going to be a rumble.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:27.559)
Like he's gonna specifically have guests on that he would have a fight with and that's
Unknown Speaker (00:11:31.240)
where the entertainment's going to come from, but he gets along great with Alex.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:35.039)
They've been on each other's show and Jimmy's such a dopey idiot that he just lets Alex
Unknown Speaker (00:11:38.960)
lie to his face regularly.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:40.720)
Doesn't matter.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:41.720)
The name rumble time is not actually about fighting or conflict or ideas or anything.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:46.720)
It's promotion for the streaming platform rumble, which I suspect he has some sort of
Unknown Speaker (00:11:50.159)
a deal with.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:51.159)
I get that rumble is supposed to be this like outsider platform and all that, but it still
Unknown Speaker (00:11:55.159)
comes off kind of loser-y to name your show after it.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:58.759)
Like the NBC news hour is named after NBC and that's fine because it's the network that's
Unknown Speaker (00:12:04.039)
running it.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:05.039)
But presumably the, with Jimmy, the point is supposed to be that the network isn't running
Unknown Speaker (00:12:09.279)
this show and yet it's called rumble time and this seems a desperate, this seems like
Unknown Speaker (00:12:13.840)
desperate behavior.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:14.840)
It's like calling your show, your YouTube show, uh, YouTube time.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:18.399)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:19.399)
I mean, I was going to debut my new show.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:21.879)
I hope Elon Musk likes me time, but, uh, apparently that's a loser thing to do.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:26.960)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:27.960)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:28.960)
I think some people have more or less called their shows that I think you're right.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:32.759)
So, um, that's, that's where we're at.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:35.559)
Um, and we're at rumble time.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:37.679)
We're at rumble time and Alex is going to make an appearance.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:40.960)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:41.960)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:42.960)
We're about 30 seconds away from starting.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:46.639)
Should we just fucking start?
Unknown Speaker (00:12:48.639)
Oh, Alex Jones will be here in about 10 minutes, so he's coming in on the zoom, he's coming
Unknown Speaker (00:12:57.840)
in on the zoom.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:59.840)
How's it going?
Unknown Speaker (00:13:00.840)
Mike dude impression.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:01.840)
Hey, you were supposed to introduce me as a Jeff bridges.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:05.159)
I was.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:06.159)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:07.159)
No one told me that.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:08.159)
I forgot to tell you.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:09.159)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:10.159)
We'll do a rambling introduction.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:11.159)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:12.159)
You know, this guy is cool.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:23.399)
So Jeff bridges was on that white dudes for Kamala Harris called the fundraising call.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:29.320)
That's why they're making fun of him because otherwise I don't know why Jeff bridges would
Unknown Speaker (00:13:32.639)
be relevant.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:33.639)
I no longer understand any references that these people make.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:36.700)
And I don't think that this guy has a good Joseph Gordon Levitt or Josh Gad who are also
Unknown Speaker (00:13:41.799)
on those calls.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:42.799)
I don't know if he does a good impression of them, but you got Jeff bridges, but he's
Unknown Speaker (00:13:46.279)
the dude.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:47.279)
That's, I mean, I bet he can't sing.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:50.000)
I've strongly doubt this guy has a, has the Gad voice.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:53.960)
I don't know a whole lot about Gad.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:55.440)
He's just musicals.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:56.440)
He's got a fucking diamond in those, uh, in those pipes.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:00.279)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:01.279)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:02.279)
Good to know.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:03.279)
Maybe I'll have to check out some of his movies.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:04.279)
You'll be fine.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:05.279)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:06.279)
So, uh, uh, this is a kind of like, I get the instinct of like, uh, Hey, Alex will be
Unknown Speaker (00:14:11.279)
here in 10 minutes.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:12.759)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:13.759)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:14.759)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:15.759)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:16.759)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:17.759)
But it feels like giving that to the crowd pretty early of a we've got, uh, we've got
Unknown Speaker (00:14:18.759)
this guy coming on.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:19.759)
Who's exciting.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:20.759)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:21.759)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:22.759)
It feels unconfident.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:23.759)
So, uh, we start off and Jimmy's basically doing a little bit of like a monologue up
Unknown Speaker (00:14:28.320)
top.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:29.320)
He's doing some jokes.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:30.320)
That makes sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:31.320)
It's a live show.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:32.320)
We are officially rumble timing, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:14:34.320)
We're on.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:35.320)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:36.320)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:37.320)
I got a thumbs up from Roy.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:38.320)
Fantastic.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:39.320)
Hey, hello, Chicago.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:40.320)
Welcome to the first rumble time.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:41.320)
It's already a party.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:42.320)
We're having a great time.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:43.320)
We already talked to a guy with cancer and we're here in Chicago.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:06.960)
We're according to Democrats, the violent crime is declining.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:15.840)
We were supposed to have another guy on the panel, but he got shot on the way over.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:21.000)
So that's pretty classic late night monologue structure for a joke, you know, nothing wrong
Unknown Speaker (00:15:25.799)
with that.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:26.799)
Nothing too edgy or ambitious, but it follows the way you introduce a concept then negated
Unknown Speaker (00:15:31.860)
in a slightly unexpected way.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:34.039)
Saying someone on the panel couldn't make it because they got shot isn't the most unexpected
Unknown Speaker (00:15:37.639)
twist, but at least it's the territory of how a comic would write a joke.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:41.320)
The goal of a monologue joke like this is to lampoon what's being passed off as a sincere
Unknown Speaker (00:15:46.320)
message.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:47.320)
Like back when Domino's was saying, ah, we fucked up.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:49.559)
Our pizza's better now.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:50.919)
You might go on stage and say something like, they made their pizza better.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:54.039)
They say that, but I called and ordered a large pepperoni and you know what showed
Unknown Speaker (00:15:57.320)
up?
Unknown Speaker (00:15:58.320)
A medium pie, no pepperoni, but a live pelican.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:02.559)
You're creating a bizarre image to delight the audience and the point behind what you're
Unknown Speaker (00:16:06.159)
saying is that they didn't make the pizza better.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:08.799)
They're telling you they did, but it's a premise that you just blindly accept because of marketing.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:13.419)
In this case though, the point Jimmy's trying to make is kind of not really true, which
Unknown Speaker (00:16:18.600)
is that it's a lie that crime is down in Chicago.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:22.000)
Yeah, yeah, no, it's down.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:23.419)
I'm not sure what Democrats Jimmy is citing who are saying that violent crime is down,
Unknown Speaker (00:16:27.539)
but the reality of this is actually a pretty complicated question.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:31.039)
Data analyzed by the University of Chicago crime lab clearly shows that homicide is down
Unknown Speaker (00:16:35.159)
year over year from 2021 to 22 to 23 and that non-fatal shootings have followed the same
Unknown Speaker (00:16:41.039)
trajectory.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:42.159)
If you look at broader data from the Chicago police department statistics, you can see
Unknown Speaker (00:16:45.919)
that there is an increase in aggravated batteries and theft, 10% and 6% respectively at the
Unknown Speaker (00:16:51.639)
time I'm preparing this episode, and these represent challenges, but the rhetoric of
Unknown Speaker (00:16:55.840)
there's crime everywhere is it's aimed at appealing to be law and order type policies,
Unknown Speaker (00:17:00.919)
which have a long history of trending toward right-wing interests and initiatives that
Unknown Speaker (00:17:05.559)
lead that direction.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:07.240)
We can look at the numbers and say that our approach to policing isn't necessarily working,
Unknown Speaker (00:17:11.880)
and that's a fine position to hold, but the big attack about Chicago is that everyone's
Unknown Speaker (00:17:15.960)
getting shot and killed, and Jimmy's joke is specifically that a member of the panel
Unknown Speaker (00:17:19.980)
got shot, which is a crime that's down, so the premise is flawed.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:24.400)
I mean, you know, it's hard to write a good joke about people getting shot.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:33.680)
I suppose maybe if you were to punch up at the cops doing, what, like 25% of the shootings?
Unknown Speaker (00:17:44.799)
But I think that that is supposed to be underneath it.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:50.160)
I mean, obviously it's supposed to be a criticism of the system, not the people who are shooting
Unknown Speaker (00:17:56.440)
people, I guess.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:57.519)
I think it'd be funnier if you called them democrips.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:00.000)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:01.000)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:02.000)
Well, they do do a Jesse Fentura impression later.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:03.960)
Always funnier.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:05.200)
Always funnier to call them democrips and Republicans.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:08.079)
I think that you're supposed to understand this as a criticism of the system, but the
Unknown Speaker (00:18:15.400)
whole like Chicago is dangerous and full of crime thing is a bit lazy, and the framing
Unknown Speaker (00:18:21.799)
of the joke is leading it in an intentional direction, and that is towards right-wing
Unknown Speaker (00:18:26.180)
ideas about increased policing as opposed to different strategies and approaches towards
Unknown Speaker (00:18:32.019)
policing that maybe would be more effective.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:34.640)
I'm interested in that guy.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:36.720)
That guy who's really wanting to be the guy screaming, oh, is it?
Unknown Speaker (00:18:41.279)
That guy?
Unknown Speaker (00:18:42.279)
I wasn't sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:43.279)
That might've been Metzger.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:44.279)
I'm not sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:45.480)
I was going to say.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:47.119)
Actual crime rates don't reflect how people feel about what crime rates are.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:53.799)
Consistently, studies have shown that people overestimate the amount of crime that happens,
Unknown Speaker (00:18:57.839)
generally because the news reports crimes and doesn't report a crime not happening.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:02.039)
Our perceptions have an underlying bias towards assuming more crime regardless of what's actually
Unknown Speaker (00:19:07.759)
happening.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:08.759)
Jimmy is playing into reassuring that bias instead of challenging it, which I feel is
Unknown Speaker (00:19:13.559)
antithetical to the image that you want to cultivate as a firebrand truth teller, and
Unknown Speaker (00:19:19.440)
so I feel like the construction of this is meant in a way to exacerbate the feelings
Unknown Speaker (00:19:25.319)
that lead towards right-wing views of policing as opposed to the alternative, which I think
Unknown Speaker (00:19:31.579)
you could tweak this joke in a way to make it work as a more anti-authority thing, but
Unknown Speaker (00:19:38.599)
I don't think it works.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:40.079)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:41.079)
But, you know, it's like he's clearly got an audience that is already in on the joke.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:49.000)
In Ultimate, really, they're just in on the rhythm of his language.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:54.039)
It could've been anything.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:55.039)
Blah-da-da-da-da-da-da.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:56.039)
Da-da-da-da-da-da.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:57.039)
Ha-ha-ha-ha.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:58.039)
I think that they're more in on the right-winginess of it than I realize, and hearing the audience
Unknown Speaker (00:20:05.319)
respond the way they do to the things that Jimmy's saying, and the things that Jimmy's
Unknown Speaker (00:20:11.160)
saying, made me realize, like, oh, there's a whole lot of just the same right-wing grievance-kind-of-based
Unknown Speaker (00:20:17.559)
shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:19.880)
So here he expands on this shooting thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:22.640)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:23.640)
You know, the Secret Service is in town this week.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:25.680)
They had their work cut out for them this week, because when a shooting starts, they
Unknown Speaker (00:20:30.640)
have to figure out if it's an assassination attempt, or just a robbery or a carjacking
Unknown Speaker (00:20:35.559)
or a gang war, or a migrant squatter.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:39.799)
So the inclusion of migrant squatter at the end of this list should tell you all you really
Unknown Speaker (00:20:43.559)
need to know about how Jimmy is on board with the right-wing anti-immigrant hysteria.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:48.440)
Putting that as the tag at the end of this list is a choice that's right at home on
Unknown Speaker (00:20:52.180)
Rumble.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:53.180)
Now, that list of crimes he mentions are assassination attempt, robbery, carjacking, gang war and
Unknown Speaker (00:20:58.240)
migrant squatter.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:59.640)
A migrant squatter isn't necessarily a crime, and robberies and carjackings don't necessarily
Unknown Speaker (00:21:04.440)
include guns, but okay, we can work with this list.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:08.119)
I'm not sure how many gang wars there have been in the past year, since I don't think
Unknown Speaker (00:21:12.160)
that's a statistic that's well-kept, but robbery and motor vehicle theft are actually two of
Unknown Speaker (00:21:16.640)
the categories where the rates have gone down in 2024.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:20.500)
The last assassination attempt happened in rural Pennsylvania.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:23.599)
Two of these crime categories have gone down.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:25.720)
One is the plot of the Warriors, and the other is not a crime.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:29.000)
So he's pandering.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:31.119)
This is pandering to the Rumble audience.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:33.319)
Yeah, because any bit about the Secret Service is going to have to wind up with counterfeiting.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:41.079)
That's the joke of the Secret Service, is the inexplicability of them being tasked with
Unknown Speaker (00:21:45.920)
protecting the president and also being like, hey, who's making fake money over here?
Unknown Speaker (00:21:51.019)
That's where your bit goes, not like, because why would the Secret Service give a shit about
Unknown Speaker (00:21:54.680)
a carjacking?
Unknown Speaker (00:21:55.680)
Well, I mean, in terms of the counterfeiting, it makes total sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:59.920)
Presidents are on money.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:00.920)
Oh, that is a good point.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:01.920)
You've got to protect the president at all costs.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:03.799)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:04.799)
It makes total sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:05.799)
I don't know why you're confused.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:06.799)
That's a good point.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:07.799)
But Jimmy's construction of the joke is stupid and kind of belies a little bit of...
Unknown Speaker (00:22:12.559)
It's not funny.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:14.599)
That's not a funny joke construction.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:16.799)
Breaks the rule of threes.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:17.799)
The fifth tag is the worst one, because it doesn't even make any sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:21.359)
And the audience clearly was trying to laugh after the fourth one.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:24.480)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:25.480)
It sounded hot.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:26.480)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:27.480)
Like you could hear at the beginning of the show, the audience is on board and ready for
Unknown Speaker (00:22:31.319)
everything.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:32.319)
So that response is probably a little bit lukewarm.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:34.680)
On your second bit.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:36.079)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:37.079)
That's not good.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:38.079)
So Nancy Pelosi, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:22:39.079)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:40.079)
Here's a bit about her.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:41.279)
Shit on her desk.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:42.279)
Let's go.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:43.279)
I don't know if this is true, but I heard if Biden wasn't going to drop out, that Nancy
Unknown Speaker (00:22:47.559)
Pelosi threatened to 25th Amendment him and she was going to switch out his doctors with
Unknown Speaker (00:22:53.880)
Matthew Perry's doctors.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:55.440)
I don't know if you heard that.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:02.440)
I started lubing up a hammer.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:14.279)
Matthew Perry had a great life.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:16.519)
He packs a lot of fun into those, whatever, 35 years or whatever.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:20.839)
What the fuck is happening?
Unknown Speaker (00:23:24.839)
He looked horrible.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:25.839)
I just thought he looked bad for his age.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:28.759)
That seems so mean for no reason.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:30.880)
What in God's name is going on here?
Unknown Speaker (00:23:33.160)
Matthew Perry had a really public struggle with drug addiction through his career.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:36.680)
He was 54 years old when he died.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:38.880)
And the story that Jimmy is riffing on is how ketamine dealers exploited his addiction
Unknown Speaker (00:23:43.200)
for profit and have been charged in his death recently.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:48.200)
Is Matthew Perry a shit lib?
Unknown Speaker (00:23:50.359)
Was he part of planning the war in Ukraine?
Unknown Speaker (00:23:52.519)
I have no idea why he's getting this kind of shit, but I think Kurt's little riff there
Unknown Speaker (00:23:56.319)
in the middle should tell you a little bit of something.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:59.160)
He's talking about Nancy Pelosi's husband being attacked by a right-wing, media-addicted
Unknown Speaker (00:24:03.640)
idiot wielding a hammer.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:05.039)
Lube up the hammer.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:06.359)
Oh, okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:07.359)
Talk about Nancy Pelosi.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:09.200)
Gotcha.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:10.200)
That makes more sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:11.200)
Now I understood that part.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:12.519)
I was like, okay, all right.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:14.880)
Incidentally, that guy who attacked Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer is doing 30
Unknown Speaker (00:24:18.960)
years in prison for that assault and 20 years of a concurrent sentence for attempted kidnapping,
Unknown Speaker (00:24:24.039)
because that's what his plan was.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:26.440)
He was sure that the 2020 election had been stolen, so he was going to kidnap Nancy Pelosi
Unknown Speaker (00:24:30.880)
and hold her hostage to get the truth revealed.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:33.559)
From a KQED news article about that dude's trial, quote, he told the jury he came across
Unknown Speaker (00:24:38.779)
most of his newfound political ideas after listening to mostly right-wing political YouTubers
Unknown Speaker (00:24:43.319)
for entire weekends at a time and a minimum of six hours per day on weekdays, including
Unknown Speaker (00:24:48.400)
James Lindsay, Jimmy Dore, and Glenn Beck.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:51.480)
If I were named in that trial as one of the radicalizing influences of the perpetrator,
Unknown Speaker (00:24:55.599)
I think I might think it's a good idea to just keep it out of the riff catalog.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:59.779)
Let's not go with Nancy Pelosi hammer jokes.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:02.839)
Man, this is wild because I don't know what funny is anymore.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:08.599)
Like I haven't been on stage for, or we've been on stage, but I haven't been on stage
Unknown Speaker (00:25:12.440)
solo as a comic for a good four or five years, something like that.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:17.400)
And this is trash.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:19.759)
It's rough.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:20.759)
I think people, I thought people were better.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:22.559)
I thought people were good.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:23.920)
I think that there's the, um, no, I mean, look, so here, here's where I'll get defensive.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:28.799)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:29.799)
That's fair enough.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:31.799)
The like, I am, uh, I'm Nancy Pelosi is like, you got to step down or else we'll replace
Unknown Speaker (00:25:42.119)
your doctors with Matthew Perry's doctors.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:44.200)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:45.200)
It has the structure of a joke.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:47.720)
You know what I mean?
Unknown Speaker (00:25:48.720)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:49.720)
It has the bare bones that you need to understand.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:52.599)
This is why he's making this joke.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:55.160)
This is the, the, the, the w what's behind it, where your mind's supposed to go.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:00.160)
I get it.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:01.160)
It's competent as a joke in that sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:04.160)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:05.160)
It's not funny.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:06.160)
No, it's mean.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:07.160)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:08.160)
And he flounders with like, I just think he looks like shit for his age.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:11.720)
This is what I'm saying, he doesn't, there's a shock value that I think he was hoping to
Unknown Speaker (00:26:16.359)
get out of the like, uh, Matthew Perry's doctor reference.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:19.559)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:20.559)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:21.559)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:22.559)
Just tasteful and kind of being right.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:23.559)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:24.559)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:25.559)
Um, and he got a little bit of that, but then didn't know where to go with it.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:26.559)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:27.559)
I mean like this, but it's, what I'm saying is like just technical stuff and giving a
Unknown Speaker (00:26:32.400)
fuck about what you're talking about.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:33.960)
Like if you're going to do that bit, you know, like, Oh, Nancy Pelosi threatened to use the
Unknown Speaker (00:26:38.839)
25th amendment and she hired Matthew Perry's doctors, you know, like she's not telling
Unknown Speaker (00:26:44.160)
him anything.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:45.480)
She's got that in her back pocket.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:47.000)
So it's that kind of thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:48.720)
Why not do, uh, um, like the threatened to use, uh, the 25th amendment if he couldn't
Unknown Speaker (00:26:54.859)
pass a test by Matthew Perry's doctor, something like that.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:58.799)
Maybe where it's not like, cause Matthew Perry becomes like a bud of this joke in a way that
Unknown Speaker (00:27:03.759)
like he's a victim of these doctors.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:06.079)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:07.079)
It's mean.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:08.079)
It's wild.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:09.079)
Cause if you hire the doctors, then you're not, you're not saying like, Oh, it's Matthew
Unknown Speaker (00:27:12.519)
Perry's fault.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:13.519)
You're saying these are murder doctors instead of like, and now we're going to switch them
Unknown Speaker (00:27:17.839)
out for Matthew Perry's.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:19.279)
That makes it sound like it seems weird.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:21.200)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:22.200)
It's, it's fucking wrong, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:23.200)
So what about, uh, what do you think about Tim walls?
Unknown Speaker (00:27:25.119)
What do you think?
Unknown Speaker (00:27:26.119)
Uh, um, our, our boy Tim wall, let's see what the worst bit of the world is.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:31.720)
Did you, did you hear about this?
Unknown Speaker (00:27:32.720)
Do you hear?
Unknown Speaker (00:27:33.720)
He shook his wife's hand.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:34.720)
Oh God.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:35.720)
Oh God.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:36.720)
Did you, did you see this?
Unknown Speaker (00:27:38.519)
So when Tim walls was accepting his nomination to be vice president, he shook his wife's
Unknown Speaker (00:27:46.440)
hand.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:50.400)
Now I don't want to judge somebody, but even the male boxer from the Olympics was like,
Unknown Speaker (00:27:55.200)
Hey, something's off about that guy.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:57.559)
Do you think he has two balls hidden above his vagina?
Unknown Speaker (00:28:06.480)
Even Kamala's Indian mother was saying I could have arranged a better marriage than that.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:14.599)
So this is pretty shocking.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:17.799)
Not because it's like edgy or anything, but because of how thin the facade has become.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:22.440)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:23.440)
That is wild.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:24.440)
That's just, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:25.440)
Look at that joke.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:26.440)
What's happened to the real world is that walls shook his wife's hand, which isn't an
Unknown Speaker (00:28:30.359)
affectionate enough display for door.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:32.680)
Apparently.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:33.680)
That's fine.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:34.680)
But what I'm taking is that walls is maybe gay because he shook his wife's hand.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:37.720)
And then as the punchline, Jimmy signals to the transphobic hysteria that broke out in
Unknown Speaker (00:28:42.559)
the right wing about the Algerian boxer, uh, Iman Khalif.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:46.599)
This there's a pretense here.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:48.440)
Jimmy's just doing right wing grievance comedy.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:51.160)
His opening monologue is hitting all of the hot button culture war issues that you might
Unknown Speaker (00:28:54.960)
hear about on any of these right wing shows or all over social media.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:58.779)
And I kind of struggled to see what makes this perspective any different.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:02.079)
Like what does, what is he doing?
Unknown Speaker (00:29:03.519)
That's any different.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:04.519)
I, what I don't understand about it is because this is, this is the thing that I've noticed
Unknown Speaker (00:29:09.079)
with this concept of like right wing comedy, uh, is like, they just say the thing that
Unknown Speaker (00:29:15.720)
was on Fox news, but then go, eh, like that's it.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:19.279)
It's the same words with a different tone.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:22.599)
And people laugh because they're like, I remember hearing that from the Fox news guy, you know,
Unknown Speaker (00:29:27.279)
and it's, I don't understand where the bit is.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:29.480)
Well, I think, um, so Kamala's mom is Indian.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:33.400)
Sometimes they're arranged marriages in Indian culture.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:37.279)
That one's not terrible.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:38.279)
That makes sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:39.279)
Kamala's mom could have arranged a better marriage between Tim Walz, his wife and Tim
Unknown Speaker (00:29:43.880)
Walz.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:44.880)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:45.880)
Better partners for either of them because Tim Walz isn't affectionate enough because
Unknown Speaker (00:29:49.140)
he shook her hand.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:51.000)
See but that part doesn't make sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:52.920)
Maybe he's a gay or a woman or something.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:55.799)
I mean, cause you could, you can tighten it down and you can be like, Oh, they shook hands.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:59.720)
Uh, probably because they are, uh, cold and bad or something, uh, Kamala's mom could have
Unknown Speaker (00:30:06.119)
arranged a better marriage.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:07.119)
That at least has the structure that makes sense like that.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:09.640)
I have no idea where balls come in.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:12.519)
Uh, and again, it's just like, I'm saying the mailbox or thing that you hear from the
Unknown Speaker (00:30:17.400)
other places.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:18.400)
So you laugh as though that's the joke.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:20.160)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:21.160)
It also just doesn't hit because like, uh, he shook his wife's hand, but he also like
Unknown Speaker (00:30:24.079)
hugged her and kissed her and like Mike Pence already was weird.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:28.480)
Like he already did kind of the standoffish cold with his wife thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:34.920)
Like we already, like the last time around there was already this.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:38.240)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:39.240)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:40.240)
It just doesn't, it doesn't ring.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:41.240)
It doesn't hit.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:42.240)
Bad monologue joke.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:43.240)
This is a thing that gets me is like, I might be a bad person because I will forgive a lot
Unknown Speaker (00:30:49.119)
if the joke is good.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:51.400)
The lucky thing about that is that I just don't have to forgive the right wing.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:55.740)
They don't have good jokes.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:57.440)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:58.440)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:59.440)
You can, you can make up a lot with you, uh, if there's a fair amount of craft and it's
Unknown Speaker (00:31:04.160)
just not, it's not present.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:05.440)
I've seen people be real pieces of shit in all different kinds of ways, but they were
Unknown Speaker (00:31:10.759)
fucking funny, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:12.880)
They were fucking funny.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:14.339)
And this is not, this is not, no.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:17.079)
So I realized at a certain point that what was going on was that Jimmy was doing his
Unknown Speaker (00:31:21.039)
opening monologue and then he was, uh, sort of playing some clips from TikTok, uh, and
Unknown Speaker (00:31:27.279)
uh, complaining about that.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:28.619)
And I kind of felt like, isn't this what his show is?
Unknown Speaker (00:31:31.519)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:32.519)
Why is it rumble time?
Unknown Speaker (00:31:33.519)
It's rumble time.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:34.519)
Episode one.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:35.519)
Uh, when this is just the kind of the same thing as a show, I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:38.440)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:39.440)
Anyway, uh, the riff train is, uh, chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga
Unknown Speaker (00:31:43.019)
chugging along because they found a clip of a person who's a doctor on TikTok saying that
Unknown Speaker (00:31:47.339)
it's not necessarily a bad, if you're overweight, uh, it's maybe not the most important thing
Unknown Speaker (00:31:55.619)
for your health.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:56.839)
You can be healthy if you're overweight.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:59.660)
And guess what?
Unknown Speaker (00:32:01.440)
Not everybody has to be healthy.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:03.859)
It is not a moral failure of some kind if they're, so anyway, they're all like, oh.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:10.180)
Live your fucking life.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:11.319)
They're very upset about this.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:12.940)
And then I would say that the Riff train goes a little bit off the tracks.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:17.059)
I think this doctor's making a killing off of Zempic, that's what I think.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:22.880)
I think she's like a doctor who, I don't know, I don't know, anyway.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:30.319)
Was this before the Paris Summer Osempics that we just had?
Unknown Speaker (00:32:33.480)
I think so.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:34.480)
Boo!
Unknown Speaker (00:32:35.480)
Boo!
Unknown Speaker (00:32:36.480)
Are we ready to go to our zoo?
Unknown Speaker (00:32:40.279)
Not yet.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:41.279)
Not yet?
Unknown Speaker (00:32:42.279)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:43.279)
He'll give you a flash.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:44.279)
He'll give me a flash when Alex is on?
Unknown Speaker (00:32:46.599)
Okay, Alex Jones is stiffing us right now, we'll see what happens.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:51.519)
It's okay, I have it coming, I kind of stiffed him once, anyway.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:59.599)
Someone in the audience yells, we're here for you!
Unknown Speaker (00:33:03.359)
That made me very sad.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:04.640)
That is sad.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:05.640)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:06.640)
That is sad.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:07.640)
Alex isn't on the zoo when he's supposed to, Riff train has totally derailed and come to
Unknown Speaker (00:33:13.220)
a stop.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:14.220)
Combined with Nevermind and the Summer Osempics.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:17.240)
It's a pun.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:18.339)
That is, that is tragic.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:19.960)
Yeah, and the reassurance from the audience is nice, but it felt bad.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:23.440)
No, no, no, I do not want reassurance from the audience, because that means I need assurance
Unknown Speaker (00:33:28.319)
from the audience.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:29.319)
That's the wrong need to have if you're on a stage.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:31.960)
It's a bad place to be.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:33.880)
I kind of, I agree, but I kind of think it's sweet for that person.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:38.960)
Sure, oh yeah, I see what you're saying.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:40.720)
But it's also indicative of things not being where they need to be.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:44.279)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:45.279)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:46.279)
Damning with faint praise doesn't do that justice.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:48.400)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:49.400)
So we get another TikTok clip that Jimmy is upset about.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:52.559)
Jesus Christ.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:53.559)
Another, another person on TikTok.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:54.559)
I wish I was older, but somehow he's older than me and he's playing TikTok clips.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:59.839)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:00.839)
Christ.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:01.839)
And so this, this clip has to do with a woman who wanted some money from another parent.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:08.159)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:09.159)
Because they had a play date and there were expenses.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:12.079)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:13.079)
So this pisses Jimmy the fuck out of me.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:15.400)
Some people saw this already.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:17.239)
It sounds like some people saw this.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:19.019)
So she's going to talk about play dates with her kids and well, buckle up.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:24.320)
I didn't really normalize sending the other family money for play dates.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:28.679)
So recently my daughter had a friend of her and I asked her mom for money and this is
Unknown Speaker (00:34:34.400)
how it went.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:35.699)
So after the play date, I texted her mom and I said, thanks for letting Jimmy play today.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:39.119)
Please help out with your share of the expenses for the play date totaling $15 via them.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:44.320)
Let's do it again sometime.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:47.380)
So she wanted her, her friend to pay $15 cause she hosted her kid at a play date.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:54.239)
And I don't know, can you imagine needing $15 this bad and not being addicted to crack?
Unknown Speaker (00:35:01.980)
Isn't Jimmy supposed to be like really empathetic to the financial concerns of working people?
Unknown Speaker (00:35:07.159)
Isn't he supposed to understand that economic pressures are serious right now and people
Unknown Speaker (00:35:10.800)
are struggling to get through?
Unknown Speaker (00:35:12.840)
Like why is he specifically allotting time on his show to mock someone who's just saying
Unknown Speaker (00:35:16.840)
that it would be nice if parents share the expenses when their children hung out together?
Unknown Speaker (00:35:21.039)
It's pretty implied that she's also saying that she would happily send this other parent
Unknown Speaker (00:35:25.039)
$15 if her kid went over there and there were some kind of expenses.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:29.480)
This really doesn't make sense as something that needs to be mocked.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:33.159)
It's just some person on TikTok, so who cares?
Unknown Speaker (00:35:35.639)
But even if you decide to care, the thing she's suggesting isn't that crazy.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:40.179)
Maybe you believe that the host should always take on all expenses.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:44.280)
That's a fine position to take, and I would have no problem with Jimmy arguing that.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:48.440)
If he's like, it's your house, you pay for whatever when the kids come over.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:51.880)
But it's such a weird angle for him to be like, how bad do you need $15 unless you're
Unknown Speaker (00:35:56.099)
on crack?
Unknown Speaker (00:35:57.099)
Right?
Unknown Speaker (00:35:58.099)
Like what are you doing?
Unknown Speaker (00:35:59.099)
I have needed $15 so bad in so many different reasons and so many different times in my
Unknown Speaker (00:36:06.679)
life.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:07.679)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:08.679)
I know this shit that he's doing now is pretty lucrative and so like he's probably very disconnected
Unknown Speaker (00:36:11.800)
from what that's like.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:12.800)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:13.800)
But mocking the idea of it is pretty fucking antithetical to what he's supposed to believe.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:20.280)
That is fucking... I can't imagine not getting the idea that if somebody needs $15, that's
Unknown Speaker (00:36:29.800)
a more important person than you.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:33.380)
It's just mean too.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:36.480)
It's not like this person did anything to him.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:38.780)
It's just a random person from TikTok.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:40.159)
It's the same thing with the Matthew Perry thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:42.440)
This is mean.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:43.639)
What?
Unknown Speaker (00:36:44.639)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:45.639)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:48.000)
I think they go on to play more of this and there are some things that are kind of mockable
Unknown Speaker (00:36:54.000)
about what she's claiming as expenses.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:56.719)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:57.719)
So like she says a dollar for wear and tear on the couch, which is kind of bullshit.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:02.320)
But then there's other things that are like things that were consumed and stuff like that.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:07.320)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:08.320)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:09.320)
Like you would want everyone to share expenses.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:14.960)
It makes sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:16.559)
It's not that weird.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:17.559)
The thing that's mockable is some of the specifics of the expenses.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:24.519)
But the premise itself is like you would start going down this road and then be like, eh,
Unknown Speaker (00:37:29.880)
it's not worth it.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:32.219)
Whatever fun you can get out of the wear and tear on the couch or whatever, that kind of
Unknown Speaker (00:37:36.559)
idea.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:37.559)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:38.559)
You have to get there.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:39.559)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:40.559)
Because in order to get there, you have to mock the premise of people needing $15.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:44.559)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:45.559)
And they must be crackheads or else it's not okay to be poor.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:49.760)
It's just weird.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:50.760)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:51.760)
I mean, I don't... Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:54.239)
This is an unusual person with an unusual request.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:58.039)
That's why you're watching it in the first place.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:00.079)
You wouldn't be watching this TikTok.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:01.820)
This TikTok wouldn't have come to your attention if it were a usual person.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:06.519)
So that's already disqualifying towards you being like, why does this person... No, this
Unknown Speaker (00:38:12.340)
is a very specific person.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:14.119)
There's no need for you to generalize whatsoever.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:17.079)
But even still, if you are going to generalize, what makes generalizations funny is when you
Unknown Speaker (00:38:22.599)
are specific.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:24.400)
That's how you get to that generalization without being just a dick who's like, hey,
Unknown Speaker (00:38:28.699)
have you seen that this group of people does this?
Unknown Speaker (00:38:31.239)
You go like, ah, this is a person who has $1 worth of wear and tear on her couch.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:36.719)
What costs what for wear and tear?
Unknown Speaker (00:38:39.099)
What if I came on her couch?
Unknown Speaker (00:38:40.239)
How much does that cost me?
Unknown Speaker (00:38:41.519)
I'll give you about 20 bucks for that.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:43.440)
You know, that's-
Unknown Speaker (00:38:44.440)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:45.440)
They do get to the J.D. Vance of it all.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:46.440)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:47.440)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:48.440)
You get there eventually.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:49.440)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:50.440)
And that is where there can be some fun, which is like line items on the invoice.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:53.000)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:54.000)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:55.000)
I think, yeah, that like how much is wear and tear, that's a kind of fine territory
Unknown Speaker (00:38:57.920)
for a joke.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:58.920)
But in order to get there, you have to mock the premise of this person having a financial
Unknown Speaker (00:39:04.639)
hardship.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:05.639)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:06.639)
And it's, I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:07.639)
No, it doesn't make sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:08.639)
It's not worth it.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:09.639)
It doesn't make sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:10.639)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:11.639)
So anyway, something else that doesn't make a whole lot of sense is Andrew Cuomo.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:14.960)
They're complaining a lot about Andrew Cuomo.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:16.960)
Are we dead?
Unknown Speaker (00:39:17.960)
We're doing it.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:18.960)
We get an impression.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:19.960)
God damn it.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:20.960)
I do, Jimmy.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:21.960)
I remember that very well.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:22.960)
I was going to be the next president of the United States but someone else had other plans.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:34.960)
So he gave this speech and this is one of the most pandering, unbelievable, I'll display
Unknown Speaker (00:39:42.159)
it for you.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:43.159)
Let's enjoy it.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:44.159)
And that as a New Yorker, I am a Muslim and as a New Yorker I am Jewish and as a New Yorker
Unknown Speaker (00:39:52.400)
I am a refugee and as a New Yorker I am black.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:00.159)
Oh no.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:04.599)
You can't, you can't fucking say you're black.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:08.599)
You could not do that as a rich white guy of privilege your whole life.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:12.119)
The son of a governor.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:13.239)
I am black.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:14.239)
No, you can't say that.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:15.840)
He's a black refugee, Jimmy, it's different.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:20.079)
This is fun and all, but that was a speech that Cuomo gave in 2017 and it was at a press
Unknown Speaker (00:40:25.760)
conference in response to Trump's attempt to bar people from seven Muslim majority countries
Unknown Speaker (00:40:30.219)
from coming to the United States.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:32.199)
That impression was fire though.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:35.039)
I mean, hey, listen, if, if these guys are ready, I am also ready to dust off that Monica
Unknown Speaker (00:40:42.780)
Lewinsky material, buddy.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:44.519)
We're close.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:45.519)
It's time.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:46.519)
We are quite close.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:47.519)
30 years, about time to bring it back.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:50.599)
Jesus Christ.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:52.159)
And the premise of this bit seems to be, oh, aren't the woke scolds going to be mad about
Unknown Speaker (00:40:59.079)
this?
Unknown Speaker (00:41:00.079)
But you're imagining people being mad about it to be mad about.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:02.280)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:03.280)
I mean, yeah, it's a fairly innocuous sentiment to express.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:06.800)
Like if you're a New Yorker, then it transcends other stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:11.400)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:12.400)
There's a connection that we have despite differences because we're New Yorkers.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:15.920)
Yeah, absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:16.920)
It's like that scene in Spiderman.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:17.920)
Yeah, totally.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:18.920)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:19.920)
It is so that he's just doing that.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:21.920)
Are you mad at Spiderman?
Unknown Speaker (00:41:23.239)
No, he's mad at the imaginary people who are mad about this.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:26.039)
They won't let Cuomo say something like this.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:28.159)
Fuck Cuomo.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:29.159)
So I'm fine with that.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:30.400)
What are we doing?
Unknown Speaker (00:41:31.400)
Or the complaint is that it's pandery and maybe, but it's also not.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:36.519)
It's also from 2017.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:37.519)
It's a fucking speech from a politician.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:41.119)
What do you expect?
Unknown Speaker (00:41:42.559)
Hard hitting facts.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:43.880)
Maybe.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:44.880)
I think it's just basically fodder for the rift train.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:47.800)
Oh God.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:48.800)
Keep the rift train rolling.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:49.800)
This is awful.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:50.800)
And as a New Yorker, I am poor.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:51.800)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:52.800)
That's fair.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:53.800)
That is fair.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:54.800)
As a New Yorker, I am a bullshitter.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:55.800)
Listen, your money doesn't go a long way in New York.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:56.800)
I can tell you that.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:57.800)
And as a New Yorker, I am homeless.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:58.800)
That's true also.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:59.800)
As a New Yorker, I am poor and homeless because my governor cut Medicaid for me.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:10.800)
As a New Yorker, I am poor and homeless because my governor cut Medicaid funding right before
Unknown Speaker (00:42:15.719)
a pandemic.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:16.719)
No, I'm homeless because I got kicked out of the governor's mansion.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:22.719)
And as a New Yorker, I am an elderly person that I killed.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:27.360)
As a New Yorker, I stand on my yacht, flipping off poor people, fuck you.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:35.199)
So they really made a meal out of this seven year old Cuomo clip, which seems relevant,
Unknown Speaker (00:42:39.719)
but the larger issue I have is that Jimmy is so indignant there at the end about Cuomo
Unknown Speaker (00:42:43.840)
mocking the poor from his yacht, but he just spent his own time on stage shitting on a
Unknown Speaker (00:42:48.079)
random person on TikTok who suggested parents share the financial burdens of hosting play
Unknown Speaker (00:42:51.900)
dates for their kids.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:53.500)
He's literally mocking the idea of not having $15 to spare as something that only makes
Unknown Speaker (00:42:57.320)
sense if you're on crack.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:58.840)
He has no coherent position here.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:00.420)
It's all just bluster and sure, shooting on Cuomo is fun and I have no interest in defending
Unknown Speaker (00:43:05.159)
him, but Jimmy lacks a core here.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:07.360)
There's no point to this.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:08.539)
There's no point of view.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:09.719)
They also seem to be mocking Cuomo from 2017 about decisions he made in 2020, which I guess
Unknown Speaker (00:43:16.500)
is why it's important to pretend that this video is current and that's why you're upset
Unknown Speaker (00:43:19.619)
about it.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:20.619)
But I think it just maybe made the rounds on right wing social media.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:23.800)
I just, what are those riffs, man?
Unknown Speaker (00:43:29.400)
Y'all supposed to be funny.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:30.760)
You're all supposed to have been doing this for a long time.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:35.239)
Yep, I think there's just more anger maybe.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:38.559)
I mean, it's hard to be funny.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:42.840)
It's hard.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:43.840)
I'm not going to be funny because I'm terrible, but I mean, this is just tragic.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:52.519)
There's some problems.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:54.519)
Jesus Christ.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:55.719)
Thankfully business picks up about an hour in.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:58.320)
Oh my God.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:59.320)
An hour in?
Unknown Speaker (00:44:00.320)
Alex was supposed to be there at 10 minutes.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:01.800)
I know, but he shows up about an hour in.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:03.760)
And so Jimmy kisses his ass a little bit in the introduction.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:06.920)
Oh my God.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:07.920)
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we've come to that magical moment where our guest has arrived
Unknown Speaker (00:44:13.159)
and everybody's excited, I'm sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:17.960)
The most censored man in all of social media, the man who is, he is like Crescan in a soothsayer.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:25.840)
Everything he says at some point comes true.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:29.199)
He's about 10 and a half million times more accurate than CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and New
Unknown Speaker (00:44:34.840)
York Times.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:36.840)
Let's hear it for the one and the only Alex Jones is here, ladies and gentlemen.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:40.840)
Can you see me?
Unknown Speaker (00:44:42.840)
Can you see me, brother?
Unknown Speaker (00:44:45.639)
Well, I want to be on with you, but...
Unknown Speaker (00:44:51.599)
Alex, can you turn on your video?
Unknown Speaker (00:44:55.639)
Do you know how to do...
Unknown Speaker (00:44:56.639)
I've been trying to connect for a while, but I'm too stupid.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:59.239)
You know, like you said, I make all the predictions, but I can't seem to do that.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:02.599)
I've been trying to do it here for about 10 minutes.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:04.599)
Sorry I'm late.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:05.880)
Can you turn Alex on the monitor?
Unknown Speaker (00:45:07.599)
Because I can't hear him.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:09.599)
Can you turn him on?
Unknown Speaker (00:45:10.599)
Here he is.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:11.599)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:12.599)
My bad.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:13.599)
You got me.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:14.599)
I missed on.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:15.599)
My bad.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:16.599)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:17.599)
Here he is.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:18.599)
There he is.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:19.599)
What a build up you gave me.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:20.599)
It's very...
Unknown Speaker (00:45:21.599)
Nice to be here.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:22.599)
Yeah, so we got Rex for a second, and then Alex is sort of choppy, cutting in and out,
Unknown Speaker (00:45:29.000)
but he's there.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:30.000)
They got him.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:31.000)
Oh boy.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:32.000)
They got him.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:33.000)
The soothsayer.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:34.000)
I think being on a screen on stage is my nightmare, you know?
Unknown Speaker (00:45:40.400)
Like that combination of being trapped in a weird little room by yourself and the pressure
Unknown Speaker (00:45:45.699)
of trying to make a large group of people laugh, who you will then not receive the laughs
Unknown Speaker (00:45:51.000)
from?
Unknown Speaker (00:45:52.000)
That's awful.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:53.000)
Yeah, that's awful.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:54.000)
Yeah, but apparently, Alex spent all his travel budget on going to California to pretend to
Unknown Speaker (00:45:58.239)
cover Bohemian Grove, so he couldn't come to Chicago for the DNC.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:00.840)
Yeah, there is that.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:02.000)
So yeah, that's nightmarish.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:04.280)
I agree with you.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:05.360)
And also, I don't know how to deal with the way that Jimmy's introducing him.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:10.760)
Is that a joke?
Unknown Speaker (00:46:14.480)
What is Rumble time?
Unknown Speaker (00:46:15.800)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:17.599)
Is the joke supposed to be that Alex is, like we're saying he's 10 million times more right
Unknown Speaker (00:46:24.000)
than all of these other places, because you're supposed to understand that he's not.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:28.639)
But I don't think that's the case.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:30.599)
No, I mean, hyperbole is generally, I like to engage in hyperbole in order to demonstrate
Unknown Speaker (00:46:37.719)
the opposite of something being true.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:40.039)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:41.039)
Otherwise I would just say an accurate thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:42.639)
Otherwise, you know, it's a waste of everybody's time.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:45.280)
In this case, I think it's hyperbole meant to just be like, you're supposed to believe
Unknown Speaker (00:46:48.199)
he's 10 times more accurate than the...
Unknown Speaker (00:46:50.480)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:51.480)
I don't know, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:52.480)
Oh, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:53.480)
It's strange.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:54.480)
Jesus.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:55.480)
So here's where we start with their little interview session.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:57.559)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:58.559)
I wanted to ask, I wanted to get your take.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:01.519)
You know, I just saw the new released body cam from Trump's assassination attempt.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:08.199)
And did you see that where the one police officer was saying, aren't we all on the same
Unknown Speaker (00:47:13.159)
frequency?
Unknown Speaker (00:47:14.159)
And they warned you, there was a guy up here, how come nobody did anything?
Unknown Speaker (00:47:17.400)
Let me just get your take on all that.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:19.840)
What do you think actually happened at Trump's assassination?
Unknown Speaker (00:47:22.239)
Well, it was 100% a total stand down on record.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:27.800)
We know that now you have all these coincidences lining up like this.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:30.599)
You've had the deep state openly saying they want to kill Trump.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:34.519)
And you know, the fact is, they're patchy failed.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:37.519)
So they are just in complete and absolute total panic mode right now and just don't
Unknown Speaker (00:47:43.199)
know what to do.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:44.199)
But yeah, I mean, you added all the others.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:45.199)
You have the Secret Service deputy head, who's now the head, and it turns out was in charge
Unknown Speaker (00:47:48.960)
of never sending the actual security team that actually commanded controls to the Secret
Unknown Speaker (00:47:53.760)
Service and the police.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:54.760)
So they didn't send the brains to the operation.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:56.960)
And then they left the roof completely open, he was running around for 90 minutes.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:01.960)
So I guess since Jimmy introduced Alex the way he did, he must really want his audience
Unknown Speaker (00:48:06.639)
to view everything he says as accurate.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:08.760)
Alex has always proven right about everything and is a psychic, the most trustworthy source
Unknown Speaker (00:48:12.880)
for information around.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:14.519)
In the context of this introduction, unless you take it as a joke, every question could
Unknown Speaker (00:48:19.000)
basically be rephrased as, tell my gathered followers the secrets about this topic.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:24.480)
If you're establishing Alex the way that Jimmy did in the intro, aren't you kind of stupid
Unknown Speaker (00:48:28.760)
if you then disagree with anything he says?
Unknown Speaker (00:48:30.880)
It has to be that.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:31.880)
Like, I get it.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:32.880)
It's fun to pretend that Alex is some kind of a prophet, but you know if you sign on
Unknown Speaker (00:48:36.320)
to this premise, you're signing on to theocratic end times fascism, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:48:39.840)
I mean, like, this is what you're endorsing.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:42.320)
And yeah, the secret service wasn't on the same radios as the local police, it turns
Unknown Speaker (00:48:46.679)
out.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:47.679)
It's a fuckup that's been reported on where the local police offered radios for the secret
Unknown Speaker (00:48:51.440)
service to pick up, but they failed to do so.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:54.019)
It's unclear if this is something that's happened before but has never been an issue until now,
Unknown Speaker (00:48:58.320)
or if it's a huge anomaly, but it's not the smoking gun that this whole thing was a setup,
Unknown Speaker (00:49:02.480)
the way that Alex and Jimmy are presenting it as.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:06.119)
Like I was reading an article about it and I'm like, oh yeah, that makes total sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:09.679)
It's like, you can't just let there be one radio band that everything is on.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:16.480)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:17.480)
Because then everybody can hear it.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:18.480)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:19.480)
It's like, oh wait, that makes total sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:20.480)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:21.480)
It's like a super special encrypted radio frequency.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:23.719)
And yeah, you can't just let anyone into one.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:27.000)
It's much more complicated than it appears to be, but if you just look at it from a really
Unknown Speaker (00:49:31.780)
superficial level, it's like, ah, why weren't they all in the same little hole?
Unknown Speaker (00:49:36.340)
I have a question.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:38.400)
Is the comedy portion over or was it always supposed to be never this?
Unknown Speaker (00:49:43.239)
Do you know what I mean?
Unknown Speaker (00:49:45.360)
What is this show supposed to be?
Unknown Speaker (00:49:48.400)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:49.599)
I mean, I obviously don't think that the beginning comedy portion was not going to happen.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:57.079)
I think maybe most of that was supposed to happen after Alex because they do get back
Unknown Speaker (00:50:02.280)
to that after he leaves.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:05.360)
But I think, I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:07.199)
I don't know, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:08.199)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:09.199)
So this is-
Unknown Speaker (00:50:10.199)
This is an interview segment for sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:11.199)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:12.199)
So this is our just totally straight faced interview segment, but we've been funny and
Unknown Speaker (00:50:16.800)
derogatory towards all these people.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:18.400)
So we've got that context.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:20.079)
Now we've got Alex fucking Jones there, which to me is like, there's only one way to combine
Unknown Speaker (00:50:26.699)
those two, which is to say that we're going to make fun of Alex Jones.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:31.860)
It could be.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:32.860)
I mean, it would be a way to go about it.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:34.780)
Another way to go about it would be get Alex's take on how ugly Matthew Perry was.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:40.719)
Get Alex in on the beating up people unnecessarily.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:42.800)
Oh my God.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:43.800)
Oh God.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:44.800)
No, that's the last thing we need more riffing.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:46.559)
No, I think it's, hey, this is an interesting guy.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:50.559)
It'll excite this live audience.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:52.360)
Where are we?
Unknown Speaker (00:50:53.360)
Chicago.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:54.360)
No, I mean, where are we in Chicago?
Unknown Speaker (00:50:55.599)
What's the venue?
Unknown Speaker (00:50:56.599)
I don't remember.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:57.599)
Fair enough.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:58.599)
It's on Halstead somewhere.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:00.599)
Oh, okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:01.599)
I don't remember.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:02.599)
Fair enough.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:03.599)
So, but I think it is just a straight up interview.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:05.840)
So this guy was totally protected.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:07.840)
He was trained at a major Homeland security training facility.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:11.199)
The train's on land security.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:13.000)
He was there 40 plus times.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:15.360)
So yeah, I mean, when you have all these coincidences all lining up the same way, they're not a
Unknown Speaker (00:51:20.360)
coincidence.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:21.840)
And so what do you make that they already burned his body?
Unknown Speaker (00:51:25.000)
Yeah, they cremated his body and notice there were no press conferences.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:30.920)
So like the whole thing here is laundering Alex as a prophet and that he's right about
Unknown Speaker (00:51:36.039)
stuff and taking him seriously.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:38.039)
Like if you're one of Jimmy's fans and you hear Alex say the shooter was trained at a
Unknown Speaker (00:51:41.280)
Homeland security facility, you've already been told by Jimmy that this dude sees the
Unknown Speaker (00:51:45.260)
future and he's always proven right about stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:47.119)
So this must be a big deal.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:48.800)
I bet you'd imagine some kind of documents that Alex has about the program where this
Unknown Speaker (00:51:53.239)
guy was trained at a military installation or some kind of base.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:56.880)
He wouldn't just make this kind of claim about meaningless pieces of trivia, but that's exactly
Unknown Speaker (00:52:00.880)
what he's doing.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:02.059)
Being trained at a Homeland security facility is a claim that Alex can back up by showing
Unknown Speaker (00:52:05.800)
that the shooter went to the Clarion Sportsman Club, that 2000 plus member shooting range,
Unknown Speaker (00:52:11.460)
which also has law enforcement agencies use it for shooting training from time to time.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:15.780)
This is the most inconsequential piece of evidence that's being used to make a very
Unknown Speaker (00:52:19.619)
unsupported claim.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:21.179)
And Jimmy has more or less insisted that the audience should blindly accept Alex's version
Unknown Speaker (00:52:24.920)
of the story.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:26.719)
Alex's body, the shooter, was turned over to his family, as pretty much always the case
Unknown Speaker (00:52:30.960)
with these sorts of things.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:32.559)
The police and FBI collected and processed the evidence they needed and then 10 days
Unknown Speaker (00:52:36.199)
later he was released to the family so they could do what they needed to do for themselves.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:41.599)
This is all normal, but the whole thing that Alex and Jimmy are responding to is based
Unknown Speaker (00:52:45.579)
on Representative Clay Higgins deciding he should go to Butler and poke around the site
Unknown Speaker (00:52:49.219)
and play detective for himself.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:51.139)
When he found that the body was gone, he made a big stink about it and idiots like Alex
Unknown Speaker (00:52:54.539)
and Jimmy are turning it into proof of a cover up.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:56.940)
This is nonsense.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:58.420)
So his body was cremated because the family decided to because the FBI released the body
Unknown Speaker (00:53:02.340)
to the family.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:03.340)
It's nonsense.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:04.340)
I mean, so what they would prefer is that he was buried so then they could exhume him,
Unknown Speaker (00:53:13.460)
presumably, and that would be dramatic, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:53:16.460)
I mean, I guess they'd probably find a way to have a problem with that, too, because
Unknown Speaker (00:53:19.380)
the family probably wouldn't allow them to.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:21.460)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:22.460)
So why?
Unknown Speaker (00:53:23.460)
Because it's a cover up.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:24.460)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:25.460)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:26.460)
Everything that every little piece of detail that conforms to your conclusion is evidence
Unknown Speaker (00:53:32.219)
and it's exaggerated into being smoking guns.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:34.940)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:35.940)
And anything that is inconvenient is just proof of how elaborate the cover up is.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:39.380)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:40.380)
Like when you can never, ever prove anything is a false flag like Alex, that's just a testament
Unknown Speaker (00:53:45.780)
to how good they are at covering up false flags.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:48.380)
It's perfect.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:49.380)
It's a great system.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:50.380)
Like they know that like bodies decompose, you know, like, I mean, sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:54.300)
But how long do you keep it in the freezer?
Unknown Speaker (00:53:58.019)
You know what I'm saying?
Unknown Speaker (00:53:59.019)
Like, how long do you get to keep the body in the freezer before you're like, hey, we
Unknown Speaker (00:54:01.900)
got the attempted assassin guy.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:04.260)
Are we going to send him home at a certain point in time?
Unknown Speaker (00:54:07.780)
Weeks later, if somebody decides that they want to do their own little investigation,
Unknown Speaker (00:54:12.139)
that's not how that works.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:13.139)
You'll Poirot this thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:14.300)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:15.300)
Then it turns out any time before that is too early.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:17.920)
That seems crazy to me.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:20.179)
It does.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:22.900)
Just what do you want?
Unknown Speaker (00:54:23.900)
I want you to freeze this body.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:26.059)
So anybody at any point in time in the future can randomly go, ha ha, the fingernail.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:31.500)
Well, because everyone is entitled to do their own investigation of every crime.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:37.500)
That's true.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:38.500)
Obviously we all know that I've seen a law and order.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:41.219)
It's wild.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:42.219)
That is crazy.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:43.219)
So the topic of Biden comes up, of course.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:46.260)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:47.260)
And so Jimmy, Jimmy asks him a little question.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:50.260)
So do you have any inside info on what happened with Biden and his reported medical emergency
Unknown Speaker (00:54:58.219)
in Las Vegas?
Unknown Speaker (00:54:59.219)
Well, I was told, well, Charlie Kirk told the people that I know, like the day it happened
Unknown Speaker (00:55:07.099)
that a medical emergency and then weeks later it came out that there was a medical emergency
Unknown Speaker (00:55:11.420)
and then Biden was flown to Delaware for seven, eight days was seen.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:15.380)
And then now he was close.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:16.380)
He's covered her butt and said, well, I saw the letter from my, the resignation didn't
Unknown Speaker (00:55:19.699)
look like it was from him.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:20.699)
Well, it didn't even have a presidential seal.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:23.380)
The signature was standing.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:25.380)
So it looks to me, I mean, speculate that they didn't get him the drugs normally on
Unknown Speaker (00:55:29.179)
or they slipped being something we had a real medical emergency areas, medical problems.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:34.539)
And then they just basically held him until he agreed.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:36.659)
Then he showed up seven days later, he kind of shuffled on to Air Force One in Delaware
Unknown Speaker (00:55:41.420)
and they said, well, why did you stand down?
Unknown Speaker (00:55:43.739)
You know, why are you giving up?
Unknown Speaker (00:55:45.340)
He said he didn't even agree to it.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:47.500)
And now he's on interviews and said he's basically forced out by the Democratic Party.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:51.099)
So I mean, we can talk about the fact that if you're still in the election, you can still
Unknown Speaker (00:55:56.300)
debate that.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:57.300)
You can't debate that Kamala Harris got as many votes in the primary as Ronald McDonald.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:02.739)
So Jimmy asking the question like, hey, what are your inside secret info about this?
Unknown Speaker (00:56:08.559)
Like the question presupposes that he's willing to believe that Alex has some of that information,
Unknown Speaker (00:56:14.340)
which is already starting off on the wrong foot.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:17.179)
You shouldn't even trust Alex to accurately convey publicly available information, let
Unknown Speaker (00:56:21.079)
alone mysterious behind the scenes gossip that he's probably just getting from social
Unknown Speaker (00:56:24.659)
media.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:25.699)
So on July 5th, noted bigot and loser Laura Loomer posted on Twitter that Biden had a
Unknown Speaker (00:56:30.059)
medical emergency on board Air Force One.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:33.139)
There's no evidence that this was the case, but it was exciting.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:35.500)
So people reposted it and it went around.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:38.340)
People denied Loomer's bullshit, but she shot back that it was all true because Biden was
Unknown Speaker (00:56:43.199)
canceling events mysteriously.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:45.860)
And the event that he canceled was a July 7th National Education Association staff union
Unknown Speaker (00:56:50.300)
meeting, which he decided not to attend after the union announced it was going on strike.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:54.820)
It was solidarity and not crossing a picket line that canceled that event, not this medical
Unknown Speaker (00:56:58.900)
emergency.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:00.019)
Biden still did other events in the same timeframe, but it doesn't matter.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:04.460)
The narrative stuck with the right wing dipshit crowd and they all kind of just ran with it.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:08.900)
There are some real problems with Alex's timeline that he's presenting here.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:13.320)
So this was on July 5th when this was supposed to have happened, which is easy to get conflated
Unknown Speaker (00:57:18.059)
with July 17th, which is when Biden announced that he tested positive for COVID, which is
Unknown Speaker (00:57:22.780)
also easy to get mixed up with July 21st, which is when he announced he was stepping
Unknown Speaker (00:57:26.960)
aside in the 2024 race.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:29.699)
In order for Alex's premise to have any plausibility, they would need to have been drugging up and
Unknown Speaker (00:57:34.780)
holding Biden hostage from the 5th to about the 21st, demanding that he step down or else.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:41.440)
And that didn't happen.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:42.659)
There was a NATO summit between those times.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:46.340)
That whole thing that he was there for.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:47.900)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:48.900)
And Alex covered on his fucking show.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:50.460)
Also, Alex references that Pelosi said a particular letter didn't sound like Biden.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:55.820)
He wants you to think that she was talking about the letter where Biden dropped out of
Unknown Speaker (00:57:59.500)
the race.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:00.659)
In the real world, Pelosi was talking about a prior statement that Biden had released
Unknown Speaker (00:58:04.980)
signaling his intention to stay in the race.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:08.460)
That's the one that she said didn't sound like him.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:11.900)
Alex is playing a little bit of sleight of hand here.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:15.579)
He's mixing up these details because what really happened is meaningless to him.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:19.300)
Jimmy is encouraging his free thinking oriented audience to engage with reality the same way
Unknown Speaker (00:58:23.420)
Alex does, which is pretty sad and not connected to anything.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:27.099)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:28.099)
It's fun.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:29.099)
I don't understand.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:30.099)
I suppose I just don't understand.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:31.099)
Like, I mean, OK, maybe it's just like we got to fill content somehow, you know, but
Unknown Speaker (00:58:36.099)
like Biden's what are we doing?
Unknown Speaker (00:58:39.420)
What are we doing still?
Unknown Speaker (00:58:40.420)
What are they doing talking about Biden?
Unknown Speaker (00:58:42.019)
Like, you're wasting all of your time and energy because they're afraid that there's
Unknown Speaker (00:58:45.940)
a decent chance that Kamala will win and they need to invalidate her presidency somehow.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:50.860)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:51.860)
And they're trying everything.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:52.860)
They're trying the she wasn't born here, but stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:55.539)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:56.539)
They're trying.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:57.820)
She stole the nomination.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:59.579)
They.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:00.579)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:01.579)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:02.579)
But I mean, like, who cares?
Unknown Speaker (00:59:03.579)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:04.579)
For for them, like they're talking to they're not talking to me.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:08.800)
They're talking to their crowd.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:10.300)
No, they're pre they're laying track in advance for bullshit, trivial Senate inquiries down
Unknown Speaker (00:59:17.300)
the road.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:18.300)
If Harris wins in order to clog up the system and make sure that nothing gets done.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:23.420)
That's the kind of thing that these narratives serve.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:26.579)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:27.579)
I think.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:28.579)
Gotcha.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:29.579)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:30.579)
I'm not entirely sure what Jimmy's interest in all this is outside of like Alex is a lightning
Unknown Speaker (00:59:34.980)
rod for attention.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:36.219)
Yeah, I'll get some of that.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:37.980)
I mean, did people go to this venue to hear an interview with Alex like they knew one
Unknown Speaker (00:59:45.420)
person yelled.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:46.420)
We came to see you.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:47.420)
So I assume they came to see Jimmy Dore.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:48.940)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:49.940)
Like, I don't I just don't understand, like, tell me I understand it if there's a good
Unknown Speaker (00:59:58.179)
story like Biden's actually been dead for two years.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:01.980)
This is a clone.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:03.639)
He's plumping like any number of different exciting things.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:06.880)
You know, if there's a health emergency, that's when they switched him out for the for the
Unknown Speaker (01:00:10.900)
real one or the not real one or whatever.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:13.460)
Well, Metzger seems to think that there is a couple of things.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:16.900)
That's great.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:17.900)
That's fine.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:18.900)
Because then I guess it's just a fun thing to talk about.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:21.099)
But if it's like an attack on the political system, like you're late, it is late.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:27.579)
You're a month late, man.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:29.460)
I think I think that I don't I think that you could almost take a really, really cynical
Unknown Speaker (01:00:38.559)
approach to Jimmy having Alex on the show.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:42.739)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:43.739)
I think that, you know, obviously when Alex has been on Rogan or when he's done Tucker
Unknown Speaker (01:00:48.019)
Carlson, you know, you do see a huge boost in these kinds of numbers.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:53.219)
And I think the first episode of Rumble, right.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:55.699)
And I think that you probably have an expectation that, like, OK, this will work well in my
Unknown Speaker (01:00:59.860)
advantage.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:00.860)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:01.860)
And then Alex, like, it's obvious what his agenda is.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:04.900)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:05.900)
So I think that they're using each other.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:07.940)
Kind of.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:08.940)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:09.940)
I just man, I wish that their agenda was similar to ours in so far as it should be to put on
Unknown Speaker (01:01:18.059)
a good show.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:19.059)
Yeah, they didn't do that.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:21.260)
They don't feel like it doesn't feel like they're trying.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:23.460)
No, it's it's not a good show.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:25.000)
But there's a there's the appearance of trying to make some agenda overlap.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:30.539)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:31.539)
And I think that that's where I find any kind of interestingness.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:34.059)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:35.059)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:36.059)
Because Jimmy does have this brand of like, I'm attacking from the left or whatever.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:41.260)
I guess.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:42.260)
But he's not.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:43.260)
No.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:44.260)
He's very much not.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:45.260)
No.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:46.260)
His co-host is sitting there in an LGBT CIA shirt.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:49.539)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:50.539)
They're making transphobic jokes.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:51.900)
They're talking everything is incredibly about exclusion of folks.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:56.699)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:57.699)
There's beating up on people for their poverty.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:00.380)
Like this is not a politics that I that I associate with the left at all.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:04.199)
But there isn't there is a feeling of that is where he's supposed to be coming from.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:08.980)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:09.980)
And so I think that there's there's an attempt at it.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:12.179)
It's very dissonant.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:13.179)
It's just wild because they're just regular as 1950s racists.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:18.139)
I don't understand.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:19.139)
I mean, I feel bad for the people who wanted to go see a show.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:23.500)
I think they got what they wanted.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:25.099)
You're probably right.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:26.420)
So there was there's a couple of moments that I think are really interesting that transcend
Unknown Speaker (01:02:31.519)
how stupid both of these people are and have done this conversation.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:35.860)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:36.860)
And this is one of them.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:38.059)
And it's Jimmy asking Alex, hey, Trump didn't do any of the shit that you wanted him to
Unknown Speaker (01:02:43.400)
do.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:44.400)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:45.400)
So you support him.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:46.400)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:47.400)
Do you actually think he's going to do any of the shit that you want him to do?
Unknown Speaker (01:02:48.619)
Good question.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:49.619)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:50.619)
When Trump actually was president, it seems to me he didn't do many of the things he said
Unknown Speaker (01:02:57.460)
he was going to do.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:58.460)
He didn't give everybody health care.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:59.739)
He said he would.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:00.900)
He didn't bring back jobs to America like he said he would.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:03.980)
He didn't drain the swamp.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:06.199)
In fact, what he did was he put them all in his goddamn cabinet.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:09.820)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:10.820)
So any he didn't pardon Snowden.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:14.019)
He didn't pardon Julian Assange.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:15.980)
And he didn't release the JFK files and he didn't lock up Hillary Clinton or prosecute
Unknown Speaker (01:03:21.219)
any of those people.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:22.539)
He didn't do anything, he said.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:25.380)
So what do you think is if he becomes president?
Unknown Speaker (01:03:29.260)
Do you think that he's going to do any of those things in his second term?
Unknown Speaker (01:03:33.900)
Look, I'm not giving Trump a pass.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:37.500)
Yes, you are.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:38.500)
He's not from the washing machine.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:39.980)
He was open about how as a major real estate owner, he gave money to both parties and he
Unknown Speaker (01:03:44.219)
was very, very ignorant and naive when he came in that these politicians and politicos
Unknown Speaker (01:03:49.579)
lied to him and said that they were going to be loyal and do what he wanted, that they
Unknown Speaker (01:03:52.420)
were actually that.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:53.420)
So he pulled from the system.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:55.420)
And I mean, I think now he's going to be different.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:57.059)
But certainly Trump has major blind spots.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:58.739)
He supported Operation Warp Speed, the poison shots and all the rest of it.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:03.940)
So I'm not I don't think Trump is some some panacea here.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:07.820)
But permanent Washington, the Republican and Democrat establishment does not like Trump
Unknown Speaker (01:04:12.780)
because he's an outsider.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:14.619)
You know, Nixon had big problems, but the system got rid of him because he tried to
Unknown Speaker (01:04:18.500)
be president.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:19.500)
And so the primary bureaucracy doesn't like presidents, they're actually presidents.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:22.380)
They like puppets, you know, like a Biden who doesn't even know what planet he's on.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:26.980)
So they can do whatever they want and then just use a front man, you know, coming in
Unknown Speaker (01:04:31.539)
the suit as a placeholder.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:33.139)
Not Kamala Harris is a perfect example of that.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:37.980)
I don't think Trump worships Trump.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:40.019)
I didn't believe the whole Q thing that he was invincible and there's all these good
Unknown Speaker (01:04:43.260)
guys in government.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:44.260)
And I think we're in the latter stage of the decay of an empire right now.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:48.780)
And I do think Trump is better on cutting back on war than the Democrats and the neo
Unknown Speaker (01:04:55.139)
con.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:56.139)
So because of that, I overall support Trump.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:58.099)
So you can see how Alex engages differently with different audiences.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:02.059)
I think he has enough instincts and not enough apple juice in him to know that if he started
Unknown Speaker (01:05:07.500)
rambling about how the literal devil is trying to terraform the world so his demonic minions
Unknown Speaker (01:05:11.920)
can breathe in a carbonless atmosphere and how Trump will save the world by burning more
Unknown Speaker (01:05:15.780)
fossil fuels and polluting more, the audience is probably going to think he's an insane
Unknown Speaker (01:05:19.659)
idiot.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:20.659)
So he moderates his image to become more acceptable and in doing so, he has to take on the mantle
Unknown Speaker (01:05:25.539)
of a lesser of two evils guy.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:28.380)
This is the guy Jimmy wants to sell to the audience too.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:31.500)
So he doesn't mind Alex lying to the audience's face or quite honestly, Jimmy probably has
Unknown Speaker (01:05:35.519)
no idea what Alex actually believes.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:38.139)
More likely, Alex knows that the version of himself Jimmy wants to be there, he knows
Unknown Speaker (01:05:43.059)
what that is and he's being that because this shit's a game.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:46.519)
And sure, Trump didn't do a lot of that stuff, but you're a goddamn idiot if you're just
Unknown Speaker (01:05:50.579)
sitting there trying to pretend Trump didn't do anything in his term.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:53.800)
He may not have done all the things that he did to keep the dumb dumbs chanting and clapping
Unknown Speaker (01:05:57.539)
on the campaign trail, but he definitely appointed three unacceptable Supreme Court justices who
Unknown Speaker (01:06:02.559)
overturned Roe v. Wade, along with countless other decisions they've made and will make
Unknown Speaker (01:06:07.420)
that roll back all kinds of civil protections Jimmy's supposed to care so much about, most
Unknown Speaker (01:06:11.980)
that play into the advantage of corporations, which Jimmy is supposed to be opposed to.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:17.860)
Jimmy is invested in making Trump out to be just another politician because that's an
Unknown Speaker (01:06:22.420)
improvement in his image.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:24.900)
Treating Trump like a threat to all our public safety makes him a pretty much unsellable
Unknown Speaker (01:06:29.099)
candidate which sucks for him.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:31.019)
The whole brand is shitting on Democrats and pretending to attack them from the left, but
Unknown Speaker (01:06:34.820)
with right-wing positions.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:36.800)
So the thing that the Democrats are fighting can't possibly be something that you actually
Unknown Speaker (01:06:41.059)
need to fight too.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:42.659)
It has to just be an illusion, just another politician with big promises that doesn't
Unknown Speaker (01:06:46.300)
do anything.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:47.659)
With Trump, for most of Jimmy's audience, that's a comforting thought.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:52.340)
With Harris and the Democrats, the audience fears that they would just be another normal
Unknown Speaker (01:06:56.539)
politician.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:57.539)
They would say the right things and inspire hope that things could be better and then
Unknown Speaker (01:07:01.099)
just be another establishment hack.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:03.420)
With Trump, the fear is that he's not.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:06.320)
The fear is that he means what he's saying and will try to assert dictatorial-type powers.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:11.539)
By lambasting Trump as just another politician, Jimmy's actually doing amazing PR work for
Unknown Speaker (01:07:16.539)
Trump among this kind of disaffected, pretending to be left-wing audience.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:21.860)
Because it's like, okay, yeah, on this one side we have the things that we want to hear
Unknown Speaker (01:07:26.900)
and the disappointment of all those things not magically happening.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:30.579)
On this side, we have a normal politician would be like, ah, he's just talking shit
Unknown Speaker (01:07:34.940)
about all the stuff that strips people of rights and is all scary.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:39.300)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:40.300)
I'm just, I'm blown away.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:41.900)
I have no idea where everybody is coming from here.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:45.219)
I don't know who's, what is everybody, you know, like I want to know what people want
Unknown Speaker (01:07:51.300)
out of this.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:52.300)
Like if Jimmy Dore is trying to launder Alex, right, what does he want?
Unknown Speaker (01:07:57.179)
He wants like numbers or whatever.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:59.780)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:00.780)
I guess.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:01.780)
So that's why you have Alex on.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:02.780)
Alex wants to get some of Jimmy Dore's audience.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:06.039)
And create a theocracy, basically all political motion towards that while selling pills.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:13.340)
Sure, sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:14.340)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:15.340)
But what is up with these people, man?
Unknown Speaker (01:08:16.340)
What are they up to?
Unknown Speaker (01:08:17.579)
I think that a lot of them probably have some positions that aren't well represented by
Unknown Speaker (01:08:23.979)
some parties.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:25.260)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:26.260)
And some of them are right-winger than they realize, probably.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:29.539)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:30.539)
But I also think that what is going on here, the essential dynamic that I find interesting
Unknown Speaker (01:08:35.119)
is that you have the same, I think the motivations come from the same place as a lot of the media.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:41.779)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:42.779)
You know, a lot of the media is invested in making a horse race out of the presidency.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:46.260)
Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:47.260)
And the election because, you know, you're selling a product.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:50.979)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:51.979)
They're going to work hard to make Trump palatable for us.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:54.260)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:55.260)
As much as some of the race is fairly close, it will be closer in the eyes of the media
Unknown Speaker (01:09:02.060)
because that is in their best interest for ratings, all kinds of things.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:05.500)
Totally.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:06.500)
I've seen this play out over and over again when Trump should be dealt with in a way that
Unknown Speaker (01:09:10.500)
is much harsher.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:11.500)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:12.500)
The reality of what he does and how he behaves, the things he says are unacceptable within
Unknown Speaker (01:09:17.239)
this realm.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:18.239)
And the fact that he is even treated as a viable person who people should be rallying
Unknown Speaker (01:09:23.180)
behind is the bias.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:26.180)
This is the same thing, I think, with Jimmy.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:29.899)
Making Trump just another politician is a way to make it closer to a horse race between
Unknown Speaker (01:09:35.859)
these two options.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:38.619)
They're both bad in the same way as opposed to they're both viable alternatives to each
Unknown Speaker (01:09:43.300)
other in the media because otherwise, what is the content you're going to make?
Unknown Speaker (01:09:47.260)
You know, you have to make there be some sort of tension.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:50.539)
And the only way to do that is to make Trump a viable option, and Trump's a viable option
Unknown Speaker (01:09:56.659)
if everybody's shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:58.420)
Yeah, you know, I think maybe we gave them too much of a pass in 2016 because it was
Unknown Speaker (01:10:07.420)
like, for most of us, it was the first time we had experienced this level of Nazi washing?
Unknown Speaker (01:10:13.539)
I don't know what to tell you.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:16.020)
But I mean, for them to do it now, that's egregious shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:20.140)
That is truly egregious.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:21.979)
Yeah, and to play this game that Alex is trying to play with like, oh, I just kind of, you
Unknown Speaker (01:10:26.939)
know, on a balance, I think he's less likely to make war.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:30.020)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:31.020)
So it would be insulting if you're Jimmy to accept that, except for he doesn't care.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:37.779)
Yeah, I think one thing that is amazing about Alex is that it is through having no respect
Unknown Speaker (01:10:45.420)
for Alex, and hating him, that I have learned to have no respect for everybody else in the
Unknown Speaker (01:10:50.579)
media too, and hate them as well.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:52.979)
Yeah, I guess.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:54.260)
He's got an amazing ability to point out how idiotic everybody else is.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:58.739)
He does, he is a teachable example about a lot of problems that exist in many places.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:05.020)
It is unfortunate.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:06.060)
So obviously, these folks, Jimmy's audience, are quite anti-Israel, and some of them are
Unknown Speaker (01:11:17.020)
anti-Israel for understandable reasons, and some of them are not.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:23.100)
But either way, this is a quite anti-Israel audience.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:25.579)
Yeah, I imagine that would be the intersection.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:28.659)
There's, I very strongly doubt that there are people there who are like, let's go!
Unknown Speaker (01:11:34.779)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:35.779)
And so Alex is disappointed with the way that Trump has behaved on this issue.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:42.539)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:43.539)
Yeah, I'm disappointed in Trump and his carte blanche support of Israel.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:47.579)
I'm never an anti-Israel guy.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:48.579)
I mean, I think it's just another corrupt government.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:49.579)
And I certainly don't support Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:50.579)
I mean, it's all just, you know, terrible.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:51.579)
It's like, just ask me what porta potty I want to eat.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:52.579)
If I'm showing 20 porta potties, which one do you want to choose, I don't like any of
Unknown Speaker (01:12:03.779)
them.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:04.779)
Maybe use an analogy like that, but Trump's slavish support of Netanyahu is dangerous.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:12.180)
And people say, well, wait, Alex is a big Israel supporter, but he also has criticized
Unknown Speaker (01:12:15.859)
Israel.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:16.859)
No, I'm just not an anti-Israel guy.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:17.859)
I was thinking I'm not anti-America, and I don't like the corrupt government you've got.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:21.340)
I think Trump's better on Ukraine, but he has been slavish on this situation with the
Unknown Speaker (01:12:28.779)
ongoing bombing of Gaza.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:30.960)
So I mean, I've been against that from day one.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:32.460)
I mean, I said Israel can carte blanche the whole place and maybe win, but they're going
Unknown Speaker (01:12:35.500)
to disappear in victory because they're going to lose in public opinion.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:39.000)
That's weird.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:40.000)
So it makes sense why the audience might have applauded Alex expressing disappointment with
Unknown Speaker (01:12:43.979)
Trump's support of Israel, but it would be really helpful for Jimmy to ask a follow-up
Unknown Speaker (01:12:48.180)
question here about why he's disappointed.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:51.439)
Alex doesn't care at all about the Palestinian people, which I would assume is a concern
Unknown Speaker (01:12:55.859)
that a lot of the people who are applauding have.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:58.220)
You would assume.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:59.220)
Alex's problem is that it'll bring immigrants here who scare him.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:03.579)
Further, Alex realizes that the killing of civilians in Gaza looks really bad and people
Unknown Speaker (01:13:07.739)
don't like it.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:08.739)
So the PR of Trump wanting more of it is not good for Trump.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:12.680)
These are the fundamental realities of Alex's position, which I think Jimmy's audience might
Unknown Speaker (01:13:16.460)
be less quick to applaud, but I might have them wrong because I didn't think that a lot
Unknown Speaker (01:13:21.779)
of this other stuff would be what his show is.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:24.579)
I'm blown away.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:25.779)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:26.779)
I'm blown away.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:27.779)
So maybe I'm too idealistic.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:30.380)
The idea of allowing somebody to be like, ah, you see, the problem is the optics are
Unknown Speaker (01:13:34.460)
bad.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:35.460)
That's beautiful.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:37.460)
You could carpet bomb the whole place and win, but then people wouldn't like you.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:41.579)
It just doesn't get better than that.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:44.539)
Because I think that fundamentally, Alex would be totally fine with an extermination of a
Unknown Speaker (01:13:50.699)
people if there wasn't consequences like immigration.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:55.140)
Yeah, 100%.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:56.140)
I mean, why else?
Unknown Speaker (01:13:57.420)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:58.420)
That's something that comes through in his comments.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:01.180)
So Jimmy wants to know about, we're going to have another COVID, we're doing COVID again.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:06.220)
Oh my God.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:07.220)
Well, Alex, I wanted to ask you, do you have any inside info?
Unknown Speaker (01:14:11.140)
They're ramping up their fear mongering again about COVID and monkey pox.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:16.699)
So do you have any other insight on any of the incoming deep state plans that we're in
Unknown Speaker (01:14:22.500)
for?
Unknown Speaker (01:14:23.500)
This is a bit, right?
Unknown Speaker (01:14:25.500)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:26.500)
I mean, I do because they always telegraph what they're doing beforehand.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:29.619)
And so they said, we'll have another pandemic.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:31.739)
So they're trying bird flu and monkey pox, any amount of fear they can for control.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:35.340)
They want to pass the U.N. treaty and take control of our bodies and all the rest of
Unknown Speaker (01:14:39.779)
it, and as bad as Trump was on COVID, he's been better on saying he should have a right
Unknown Speaker (01:14:45.020)
to not take the shots and he was against the lockdowns once we got in the middle of it.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:49.699)
But yeah, I mean, so much of the inside info is just watching the establishment corporate
Unknown Speaker (01:14:54.579)
media pre-program was coming.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:56.539)
So I don't, I mean, if it's not a bit, Jimmy's coming off like a real dork asking for inside
Unknown Speaker (01:15:00.939)
info from Alex.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:02.779)
He appears to have personally bought in on an embarrassing level to Alex's shtick.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:08.060)
I think you're not going to be able to stammer your way through this one on a both sides,
Unknown Speaker (01:15:12.979)
lesser of two evils kind of thing, because Trump supported and brought us the vaccine.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:18.159)
These people have seen such a profit motive in demonizing the vaccine and creating hysteria
Unknown Speaker (01:15:22.899)
around it.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:23.899)
And people took that seriously.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:25.859)
People died because they believed the right wing storylines about COVID and now Alex wants
Unknown Speaker (01:15:29.539)
to pretend, well, Trump's pretty good on the issue.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:32.340)
It's not an issue.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:33.420)
It's a mass murder biological weapon plot.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:36.420)
I think that it's pretty likely that one of Trump's biggest liabilities is the anti-vax
Unknown Speaker (01:15:41.260)
fervor that his base has rallied around.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:43.680)
It was so profitable and so easy to organize around that, that they couldn't resist it.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:48.380)
But now it's also disqualifying for the candidate that they want to defend as the lesser of
Unknown Speaker (01:15:53.899)
two evils.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:54.899)
And it just doesn't, it doesn't work.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:56.739)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:57.739)
That's the one, this is the one that is amazing to me that they got, that people get like
Unknown Speaker (01:16:02.100)
twisted up on, because it, to me, it just like, I get, you know, the morality of being
Unknown Speaker (01:16:09.020)
like, ah, foreign wars are bad.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:10.380)
You know, that's how it works and people should do that stuff.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:13.359)
But ostensibly the idea of borders and nations is that sooner or later, there'll be our enemy
Unknown Speaker (01:16:18.100)
anyway.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:19.100)
So who fucking cares?
Unknown Speaker (01:16:20.100)
What matters for your government that you're choosing is that they don't poison you.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:24.859)
Like isn't that the number one, like, hey, first off, government don't poison me, right?
Unknown Speaker (01:16:31.220)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:32.220)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:33.220)
I mean, that's a big one.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:34.399)
Like I don't go murder other people.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:36.939)
That's bad.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:37.939)
I understand that.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:38.939)
But you know, the government is our government and there are other people.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:42.739)
Not responding in an ideal way to foreign tensions and things that happen around the
Unknown Speaker (01:16:49.539)
world that sometimes you have an influence in, and sometimes you wish you had more of
Unknown Speaker (01:16:53.279)
an influence in, or whatever.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:55.060)
Not responding in a perfect way, obviously you want to be against.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:59.659)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:00.659)
Not creating a bioweapon and then attacking the entire, it's a different kind of thing.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:06.779)
It seems insurmountable to me and somehow they're surmounting it.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:10.619)
No, it is for a lot of people and I think that's why Trump's not going to get all of
Unknown Speaker (01:17:15.100)
RFK's followers.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:16.100)
Yeah, you're right.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:17.100)
I think that because it was so profitable and because they were able to use it so well,
Unknown Speaker (01:17:23.460)
a lot of people are true believers in a way that Trump cannot reach now.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:28.380)
And I think that's sort of the way that the knife cuts the other direction, a little bit.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:32.500)
Yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:33.500)
It's crazy.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:34.500)
So Jimmy has another decent question and that is that, hey, Trump wants to make this whole
Unknown Speaker (01:17:40.979)
border thing.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:41.979)
Do you think that's just going to be an excuse to do surveillance shit?
Unknown Speaker (01:17:45.699)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:46.699)
And Alex, this should, he should be worried about this.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:49.579)
This is being so disqualifying.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:50.579)
So do you fear that if Trump becomes president and he goes to secure the border, he's going
Unknown Speaker (01:17:56.380)
to do it with what Whitney Webb talks about with surveillance and facial recognition.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:02.500)
It's going to be an electronic wall instead of an actual wall, which is just going to
Unknown Speaker (01:18:06.779)
mean mass surveillance for everybody.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:08.659)
Do you fear that?
Unknown Speaker (01:18:09.659)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:10.659)
I mean, Ron Paul always said when they build a wall, it's going to be to keep us in and,
Unknown Speaker (01:18:17.380)
but you already go to the airport and try to make you face the end to get on an airplane.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:21.380)
So this stuff's already here, so I'm not saying we should capitulate to it, but we have to
Unknown Speaker (01:18:26.460)
cut the incentives off to tell the world they can just come here for free and go bankrupt.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:30.859)
We have corporations want cheap labor and you've got the different thing, you know,
Unknown Speaker (01:18:35.739)
the different NGOs that are making a lion's share of the money off servicing all of these
Unknown Speaker (01:18:40.300)
migrants.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:41.300)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:42.300)
So that's the way that Alex answers this question.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:43.819)
Fuck immigrants.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:45.420)
Wild.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:46.420)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:47.420)
Wild.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:48.420)
That's a, that's a tough question for Alex because everything about his career should
Unknown Speaker (01:18:54.699)
lead him to say, yes, and it is too risky to ever allow someone like Trump to put something
Unknown Speaker (01:19:02.300)
like that in place.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:03.300)
We assume good intentions.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:04.300)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:05.300)
Oh, sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:06.300)
But everybody does right before everything goes wrong.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:09.960)
It shouldn't just be that, but like, Hey, if you have your guy do a thing, it's also
Unknown Speaker (01:19:15.819)
important to remember that four years later, a different guy might then have that same
Unknown Speaker (01:19:21.279)
power to do that same thing and you might not like that guy.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:24.659)
True.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:25.659)
That's the idea.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:26.659)
And Alex's career is largely based on all kinds of absurd, uh, well, if we allow this,
Unknown Speaker (01:19:32.300)
then what kind of thing, um, and for him to be like, they already face scan you at the
Unknown Speaker (01:19:37.739)
airport.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:38.739)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:39.739)
I mean the opposite of what is, uh, his entire world is based on.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:43.180)
It is so why, like, I want, I want to have some sort of shot collar installed in me now
Unknown Speaker (01:19:50.659)
that I can program, uh, because like, this is everything like just listening to this,
Unknown Speaker (01:19:58.600)
this is everything that he is not supposed to be.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:01.100)
I mean, everything is not supposed to, yeah, exactly.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:04.739)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:05.739)
I'm, I'm, I am, I have to like have a shot collar now just to make sure that at no point
Unknown Speaker (01:20:09.779)
in time in the future will I slide into this trash.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:13.420)
Trump murdered everyone with the vaccine, but he met well and he was tricked by everyone
Unknown Speaker (01:20:17.140)
around him.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:18.140)
So we should give him another shot.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:19.140)
He is the lesser of two evils in terms of war and stuff like that.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:22.899)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:23.899)
Um, but also he's probably gonna do a bunch of, um, yeah, sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:28.260)
Um, there is a high tech surveillance tyranny that is going to be implemented by the border.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:34.340)
You're the mark of the beast guy.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:35.619)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:36.619)
But look, they already scanned you at the airport.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:37.619)
You're the mark of the beast guy.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:39.939)
Oh, well.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:40.939)
You see, this is just, it's just crazy.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:42.579)
It reveals the insincerity of a lot of the positions that Alex has built his entire brand
Unknown Speaker (01:20:47.140)
around.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:48.140)
Totally.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:49.140)
Um, and I don't think that Jimmy is meaning to reveal these things or anything, but it
Unknown Speaker (01:20:53.460)
lays it pretty bare.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:55.420)
Um, so, uh, Jimmy talks a little bit about how Trump's, he's not the outsider that he
Unknown Speaker (01:21:00.060)
once was.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:01.060)
Cause he was already the god damn president.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:02.619)
That's true.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:03.619)
Um, and I would describe Alex on his back-est of back feet.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:06.979)
Dave Smith tweeted out today that he thought it was a mistake for, uh, well here he says
Unknown Speaker (01:21:12.779)
the problem with Trump calling the Democrats communists and Marxists, aside from being
Unknown Speaker (01:21:18.300)
inaccurate and making him sound like a grandpa arguing in the 1940s is the framing he says
Unknown Speaker (01:21:24.659)
between his position on Israel COVID and even his praising of the secret for service.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:30.180)
What Trump calls his opponents Marxists, he positions himself as a defender of the establishment
Unknown Speaker (01:21:35.819)
guarding against the radicals.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:37.979)
That was never the appeal of Donald Trump.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:40.359)
People supported him because he represented a repudiation of the Bushes, the Clintons,
Unknown Speaker (01:21:45.039)
the Obamas and the corporate media.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:47.720)
He was a giant middle finger to the establishment.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:53.359)
So do you think it's, go ahead.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:56.220)
I mean, I know where you're going and I think it's very fair to say this is a more establishment
Unknown Speaker (01:22:01.779)
Trump than we saw eight years ago or four years ago and I think that's his advisors
Unknown Speaker (01:22:07.859)
telling him to be more of an establishment Republican and I don't think that's, that,
Unknown Speaker (01:22:12.420)
that's wise.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:13.420)
I think it should be the bomb thrower politically for the media quotes me on that, you know,
Unknown Speaker (01:22:17.699)
the term bomb thrower being, he should be the outsider, the populist, the maverick,
Unknown Speaker (01:22:22.659)
which he never, as you said, fully delivered on, but the system sees him as that and now
Unknown Speaker (01:22:26.819)
he is definitely, you know, I mean, he's been going after Tamala Harris and Biden for getting
Unknown Speaker (01:22:35.539)
almost all the big corporate donations and you know, all the big black rock money.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:40.380)
And instead he is acting like, you know, they're Bernie Sanders, you know, and then some left
Unknown Speaker (01:22:46.020)
to see university and that's not who they are.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:48.020)
I mean, they are military industrial complex puppets.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:51.220)
So the big appeal of Trump was being, you know, anti-war compared to them and going
Unknown Speaker (01:22:56.859)
against the establishment.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:57.859)
That's still the big appeal that they've tried to put him in jail and take him off the ballot
Unknown Speaker (01:23:01.020)
and kill him.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:02.520)
But that is being outweighed in many ways by what, what you're saying.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:07.460)
And I tried to be a big Trump supporter, but, but I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm not, you know, loyal
Unknown Speaker (01:23:11.220)
opposition or whatever.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:12.220)
I just sit there, you know, talk about him, but, but, but, but don't criticize him.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:18.220)
I mean, I really am concerned and a lot of my listeners are concerned about Trump and
Unknown Speaker (01:23:25.180)
the different turns he's made.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:26.659)
Hey man, you're fighting the devil.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:28.979)
What is happening?
Unknown Speaker (01:23:29.979)
Right?
Unknown Speaker (01:23:30.979)
I feel insane right now.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:31.979)
I do too.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:32.979)
I feel legit crazy.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:33.979)
I feel like I've been sent into a different universe where everything's fucked up and,
Unknown Speaker (01:23:38.659)
and all that happened is I just, I just listened to this shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:41.420)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:42.420)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:43.420)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:44.420)
This is crazy.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:45.420)
I'm taking a point that is good about what made Trump's brand really viable in 2016 and
Unknown Speaker (01:23:55.100)
why him winning sucked and why it didn't work and why it ruined 2020 and why it's kind of
Unknown Speaker (01:24:01.659)
falling apart now is that he is supposed to be the bomb thrower.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:05.479)
He's supposed to be the guy who is fighting against the system.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:09.479)
He gets in power and you have to create this entirely insidious other system that he's
Unknown Speaker (01:24:15.720)
supposed to be fighting and now that system is really the system or it's just, it's too
Unknown Speaker (01:24:22.020)
much.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:23.020)
He's supposed to retake the reigns for the sake of civilization.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:26.060)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:27.060)
Really?
Unknown Speaker (01:24:28.060)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:29.060)
Listen, Obama did the hope and change right in 2008 and then when he didn't do either
Unknown Speaker (01:24:33.020)
of those things, he didn't continue doing hope and change in 2012.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:36.420)
He was like, Hey, come on, I'll be better than that guy.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:38.659)
Come on, bud.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:39.659)
You know, like Trump, that's all you get on your second term whenever, because you never
Unknown Speaker (01:24:43.380)
deliver on shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:44.560)
We already tried.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:45.560)
Cause you're a trash human being.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:46.560)
You became the president, you're worthless.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:48.779)
Your slogan when you're being reelected is we've done all right.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:52.939)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:53.939)
What?
Unknown Speaker (01:24:54.939)
We'll try and do more.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:55.939)
Fuck off.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:56.939)
Great.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:57.939)
But if you've had four years off in between, it's really hard to like have any kind of
Unknown Speaker (01:25:00.899)
idea of like, Oh, well keep the ball rolling.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:03.340)
What?
Unknown Speaker (01:25:04.340)
You know?
Unknown Speaker (01:25:05.340)
No, you can't.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:06.340)
It's no good.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:07.340)
No.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:08.340)
It is about optics and it's about the brand that everyone bought into with Trump.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:13.899)
The appeal to the supporters was based on wanting to give a middle finger to the man
Unknown Speaker (01:25:19.140)
or whatever.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:20.420)
And now it, it really isn't the same.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:24.100)
There's still an anger that, that, uh, Trump embodies for a lot of his followers, but trying
Unknown Speaker (01:25:30.220)
to pretend that it works on some kind of a like Clinton, Obama insider versus Trump level
Unknown Speaker (01:25:37.100)
just feels false.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:38.779)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:39.779)
And, and for Alex to be so sort of stammery about his support of Trump is hilarious.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:47.340)
It is.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:48.340)
It's so wild.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:49.340)
Like I, I appreciate, I appreciate how everybody got into this place, you know, because for
Unknown Speaker (01:25:56.539)
the longest time we were like, what if everybody was just the worst possible candidate?
Unknown Speaker (01:26:01.380)
And then we'll choose, you know, but then Biden stepped away.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:05.420)
So now you have to, the rules are different now.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:09.680)
Now it's not two dying old men, which one was going to be more of a monster to you?
Unknown Speaker (01:26:14.699)
You know, like the rules have changed.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:16.539)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:17.539)
And I think that Alex may be representing something that is really important for him.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:24.979)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:25.979)
Which is, you might need to get rid of Trump.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:29.039)
You have to.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:30.039)
He can't even give a strong defense of Trump in front of Jimmy fucking doors audience.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:36.619)
I mean, that's tragic.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:38.340)
Like this is, you don't have to tell the truth.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:41.380)
This is a weak man.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:43.140)
This is very weak, but he should be weak.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:46.180)
Like he shouldn't be defending Trump, but he also should be because it's only like two
Unknown Speaker (01:26:49.840)
months till the election and he's supposed to be fighting the devil.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:53.720)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:54.720)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:55.720)
You just, you know, his heart's not in this.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:57.260)
You just can't do it.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:58.500)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:59.500)
Like the only thing maybe that they got is they should go hard on trying to convince
Unknown Speaker (01:27:06.579)
everybody that Kamala tried to kill Trump.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:13.000)
I think you push the picture of him with a bloody fist, you tie it to all of the Democrats
Unknown Speaker (01:27:19.920)
and you say, they're going to kill all of you next.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:22.220)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:23.220)
Right?
Unknown Speaker (01:27:24.220)
Like that's your only hope.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:25.220)
And the idea of creating all of these ways that you can sort of slow down the process
Unknown Speaker (01:27:30.779)
and create bullshit inquiries in Congress and stuff like that, you know, create a, create
Unknown Speaker (01:27:35.979)
that kind of havoc in advance.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:39.340)
I think those are probably your top priorities.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:42.180)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:43.180)
Cause you can't, you just can't do the other stuff.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:46.100)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:47.100)
It's over now.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:48.100)
There's a chance that Trump will win and that is not in, that's not a foregone conclusion.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:52.220)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:53.220)
There's a chance that he could win and if he does, great, but there's also a chance
Unknown Speaker (01:27:57.579)
that he could lose and you don't want to be holding the bag.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:01.739)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:02.739)
And I think that Alex needs to do some work on that in two months.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:06.020)
And this is one of the first times that I really felt like maybe he's expressing like
Unknown Speaker (01:28:11.739)
a, uh, like, oh, yeah, I think it's so funny.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:17.399)
I think it's so funny just that like we're in a space where it's like Trump could still
Unknown Speaker (01:28:23.420)
win, but the only way he's going to win is with a massive amount of help from the media.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:28.779)
And that's what we're all waiting for.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:30.939)
And they're going to deliver.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:31.939)
It's amazing.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:32.939)
I don't know if they can resist.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:35.659)
They just can't.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:36.659)
They need money.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:37.659)
They love money more than they want us to live.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:43.300)
So this interview, yeah, it lasts only about 12 minutes.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:49.060)
You're joking.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:50.060)
No.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:51.060)
Fuck me.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:52.060)
It's very short.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:53.060)
I mean, I support him because the system's trying to kill him, but that said, I'm going
Unknown Speaker (01:28:57.260)
to be a supporter so that I can put his feet in the fire on issues and, you know, try to
Unknown Speaker (01:29:01.579)
get better policies out of it.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:03.579)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:04.579)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:05.579)
Well, Alex, I just want to say I appreciate you taking time off your evening to share
Unknown Speaker (01:29:10.460)
with me and my audience.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:11.859)
Let's hear it for Alex Jones, ladies and gentlemen.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:16.140)
Why?
Unknown Speaker (01:29:17.140)
So afterwards, he's not like, Hey, that guy was an idiot, right?
Unknown Speaker (01:29:24.220)
Like he doesn't, uh, so there's no reveal of like, this is a joke or anything.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:29.260)
So I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:30.260)
I think it was sincere.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:31.260)
I think it's a sincere interview and I think maybe it would have gone longer if Alex would
Unknown Speaker (01:29:34.739)
have been at the time that he was supposed to be there.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:38.220)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:39.220)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:40.220)
So I think maybe that that was right.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:41.979)
I don't, I don't know what happened, but it was very short and disappointing.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:45.699)
Um, and then afterwards they go back to watching some clips.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:50.260)
You're joking.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:51.460)
What is this fucking show?
Unknown Speaker (01:29:52.939)
You want to hear another clip?
Unknown Speaker (01:29:55.380)
We're going to play a game with this clip.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:56.939)
Yeah, I do.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:57.939)
Try and figure out when this clip is from.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:00.180)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:01.180)
Here's her platform right here.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:02.180)
You know, we have to stay woke.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:05.180)
Like everybody needs to be woke.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:07.180)
And you can talk about if you're the wokest or woker, but just stay more woke than less
Unknown Speaker (01:30:14.140)
woke.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:15.140)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:16.140)
Is she, she wouldn't be president or captain of the enterprise.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:22.699)
What does that share?
Unknown Speaker (01:30:24.979)
Does she mean more meth and less fentanyl because hey, you know what's not woke wearing
Unknown Speaker (01:30:31.979)
three inch heels and a pantsuit.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:33.819)
I think equality starts with not balancing your entire body on a centimeter of a stiletto.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:42.699)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:43.699)
What?
Unknown Speaker (01:30:44.699)
That didn't land.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:45.699)
Did they write, did they write this?
Unknown Speaker (01:30:47.939)
I'm not sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:48.939)
I have no idea.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:49.939)
Oh God.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:50.939)
So I turned it off.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:51.939)
They're taking turns as though they like, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:54.579)
We're going to have a little bit of a, we're going to play tag.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:58.060)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:59.060)
So what do you think that clip of a Harris was from?
Unknown Speaker (01:31:01.500)
I want to say 2019, 2017 both the clip of Cuomo and Harris are both for 2017 oh my God.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:10.260)
What is wrong with that one was making the rounds on right wing social media.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:13.659)
So I think that Jimmy must've seen it on there and been like, we can riff on this.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:17.220)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:19.220)
In practice, no, the confidence.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:22.539)
I mean, man, I feel like, how about this?
Unknown Speaker (01:31:27.659)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:29.060)
You have, you have Tommy John surgery, all right.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:31.939)
You lose your fastball.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:33.739)
You don't have the same confidence as when you had the fastball.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:37.180)
You know what I'm saying?
Unknown Speaker (01:31:38.180)
Jimmy Dore has long since lost that fastball.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:41.579)
I don't understand the confidence with which he is behaving.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:44.300)
Well, that's the, that's the kind of thing that I'm, I'm, I'm dealing with is that like,
Unknown Speaker (01:31:49.500)
I get everything except for like when he says the, you know what's not woke, we're in a
Unknown Speaker (01:31:56.779)
pantsuit with his heels.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:58.739)
And then the audience doesn't laugh.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:00.460)
Nothing.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:01.460)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:02.460)
Like if the audience laughed, I would get all of this.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:04.819)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:05.819)
I don't get where the, it doesn't even at times when Jimmy starts yelling and shit,
Unknown Speaker (01:32:11.939)
the audience is into it.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:13.300)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:14.300)
So there are those moments where he's like Bernie Sanders is a fucking sellout hack.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:18.060)
He went on Theo Vaughn's podcast and said that we should still vote and people like
Unknown Speaker (01:32:23.420)
that.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:24.420)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:25.420)
But in terms of the humor, no, I don't think there's, it doesn't land.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:28.579)
I can tell you, like, I can tell you what, like at our Toronto show, I can tell you at
Unknown Speaker (01:32:36.939)
least three things that I said that did not land the way I wanted to, and they didn't
Unknown Speaker (01:32:40.699)
go bad, but they didn't land the way that I wanted to.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:43.340)
And I wanted, like, I was like, Oh my God, what am I doing with my life?
Unknown Speaker (01:32:48.060)
Do you know what I mean?
Unknown Speaker (01:32:49.060)
Like the idea of, and you know, cause I'm a comic, I put it back up there, got the confidence
Unknown Speaker (01:32:54.380)
back, but the idea of being able to just like get dead silence and then just be like, ah,
Unknown Speaker (01:33:00.140)
I'm still great.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:01.260)
No idea.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:02.260)
No idea.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:03.380)
No idea.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:04.380)
Well, I think you have to maybe have a different system of how you judge things then, you know?
Unknown Speaker (01:33:13.180)
I guess.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:14.180)
And I don't know, I was looking at his YouTube channel and I did notice that there were spikes
Unknown Speaker (01:33:22.060)
in traffic or a spike is in views for the Alex's videos.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:26.500)
So like, Oh God, that's cool.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:28.140)
I mean, you know, you have, you have, um, here we go.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:31.420)
What do we got?
Unknown Speaker (01:33:32.420)
RFK also very popular videos about RFK get a whole lot more views than, than a lot of
Unknown Speaker (01:33:37.579)
his other ones.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:38.579)
Wild.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:39.579)
You have like a, you know, 30,000 ish normal views and then Alex video 60,000.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:46.460)
But he doesn't, does he, do they do like live shows a lot or have they, have they like maybe
Unknown Speaker (01:33:51.739)
what's happened is they've retreated to the, like, all we are is in a studio kind of environment
Unknown Speaker (01:33:56.380)
with each other.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:57.819)
So we just talk like that and we don't actually know what makes a crowd laugh anymore.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:01.859)
I don't think so.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:02.859)
I think Jimmy still performs.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:04.380)
Oh my God.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:05.380)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:06.380)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:07.380)
I think this is one of the problems that we have is that first of all, we don't know Jimmy
Unknown Speaker (01:34:12.000)
all that well.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:13.000)
No, that's true.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:14.000)
Uh, as his show.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:15.000)
That's true.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:16.000)
And then second, this is the first episode of rumble time, man.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:20.300)
So there is no context for what this is.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:23.260)
Y'all gotta make that the last episode of rumble time.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:26.220)
I'm excited for episode two.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:27.739)
I am not.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:28.739)
We are definitely going to cover it.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:30.100)
We are not.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:31.100)
I told you I made a mistake and I think I made a mistake.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:35.579)
I think so too.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:36.579)
But I also think I like, here's the thing though.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:39.899)
This is kind of mind blowing.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:41.659)
This whole thing, again, I feel like I'm in an alternate universe and he's just saying
Unknown Speaker (01:34:46.140)
the normal stuff.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:47.539)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:48.539)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:49.539)
I feel like a, like a normal like person who thinks about political things and that kind
Unknown Speaker (01:34:54.460)
of shit is bizarre.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:56.579)
And so him pretending to be that is bizarre.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:59.220)
And then I really do think that there is something that is fascinating about the way that Jimmy
Unknown Speaker (01:35:06.539)
needs to make Trump just another politician in the same pursuit as the media trying to
Unknown Speaker (01:35:12.460)
make him another politician.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:15.100)
They make Trump a credible politician in order to facilitate the horse race.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:20.659)
And Jimmy's making him just another politician for the, for the same reason.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:24.300)
Cause it justifies this kind of a both sides thing.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:28.899)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:29.899)
This is wild.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:30.899)
I mean also like Alex, it's more fun to not be the lesser of two evils person.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:39.579)
Do you know who has no fun being the person who's like, let's be responsible.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:43.659)
That's not a fun position.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:45.140)
No, no.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:46.659)
But when your alternative is yelling about the devil in front of a crowd of presumably
Unknown Speaker (01:35:52.300)
hip Jimmy door fans, that's what I'm saying.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:55.079)
They wouldn't judge.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:56.079)
That's a show.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:57.079)
No, but they'd be laughing at him.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:59.180)
That's what he's supposed to be.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:01.180)
No, he doesn't like that.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:02.180)
Oh my God.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:03.180)
He doesn't.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:04.180)
He used to, he used to be fine with people laughing.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:06.779)
He used to have a brashness that could withstand people laughing at him.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:13.340)
And now I don't know if that's the case, but I think he could probably, if it wasn't a
Unknown Speaker (01:36:16.819)
live show, like, yeah, if it was just him and Jimmy sitting around, he could talk about
Unknown Speaker (01:36:20.699)
the devil.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:21.699)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:22.699)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:23.699)
But the live show aspect of it, probably it's a nightmare to be trapped in a screen with
Unknown Speaker (01:36:26.659)
a, an audience that can't talk to you.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:29.060)
That's true.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:30.060)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:31.060)
So anyway, um, we'll be back another episode, but until then we have a website indeed we
Unknown Speaker (01:36:34.340)
do.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:35.340)
It's knowledge fight.com.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:36.340)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:37.340)
We'll be back.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:38.340)
But until then, I'm Leo.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:39.340)
I'm Leo.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:40.340)
I'm DCX Clark.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:41.340)
I am the mysterious professor.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:42.340)
And here comes the sex robots.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:44.340)
Andy in Kansas.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:45.340)
You're on the air.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:46.340)
Thanks for holding.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:47.340)
Hello, Alex.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:48.340)
I'm a first time caller.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:49.340)
I'm a huge fan.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:50.340)
I love your work.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:51.340)
I love you.
