It's all great.

Knowledge, right.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:22.579)
And she can do it as they feel.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:23.579)
Good guys, shame.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:24.579)
We elect them.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:25.579)
I'm sick of them as a result of their damage to Sankey,
Unknown Speaker (00:00:28.579)
a lack of knowledge.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:30.079)
They wanted your knowledge, fireman.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:32.579)
I need my money.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:34.579)
I need my money.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:36.579)

Unknown Speaker (00:00:47.579)
Andy and Candace, you're on the air.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:49.579)
Hello, Alex.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:50.579)
I'm a fiction-talling huge fan.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:51.579)
I love your room.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:52.579)
Knowledge fight.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:55.579)
Knowledgefight.com.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:58.579)
I love you.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:59.579)
Hey, everybody!
Unknown Speaker (00:01:05.579)
Hey, Portland!
Unknown Speaker (00:01:11.579)
Welcome to Knowledge Fight.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:13.579)
I'm Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:14.579)
I'm Jordan!
Unknown Speaker (00:01:18.579)
We are a couple of dudes who like to go around
Unknown Speaker (00:01:22.579)
to less rainy cities today.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:27.579)
Hang out, talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:29.579)
Oh, indeed we are, Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:32.579)
You need Jordan?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:33.579)
Dan?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:34.579)
Jordan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:35.579)
I have a quick question for you.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:36.579)
How are you doing?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:37.579)
What's up?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:38.579)
What's your question?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:39.579)
What's your bright spot today, buddy?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:40.579)
Why don't you go first?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:41.579)
It's December.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:42.579)
Why do I go first?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:43.579)
Oh, my God, it's December.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:44.579)
It's December, and as is tradition,
Unknown Speaker (00:01:45.579)
you go first in the bright spots in December.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:47.579)
Well, I mean, if I have to give a bright spot,
Unknown Speaker (00:01:50.579)
obviously I'm going to lean in hard
Unknown Speaker (00:01:52.579)
to being the pathetic wife guy I am.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:55.579)
Nice.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:56.579)
And I will let all of you know
Unknown Speaker (00:01:59.579)
that today my beautiful perfect wife
Unknown Speaker (00:02:02.579)
picked up our three dogs and brought them home
Unknown Speaker (00:02:06.579)
and then took care of them
Unknown Speaker (00:02:07.579)
and then took them outside all together
Unknown Speaker (00:02:09.580)
and didn't do a great job, so I'm needed.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:14.580)
I'm needed.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:15.580)
So that's my bright spot.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:16.580)
My bright spot is everybody's happy,
Unknown Speaker (00:02:18.580)
but not without me.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:24.580)
This is an empowered wife guy.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:26.580)
It is.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:27.580)
It's a way of looking at things, for sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:29.580)
You sure?
Unknown Speaker (00:02:31.580)
That's great.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:33.580)
Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:34.580)
How about you?
Unknown Speaker (00:02:35.580)
My bright spot, as is tradition also,
Unknown Speaker (00:02:38.580)
because it is December,
Unknown Speaker (00:02:40.580)
it is time to check in with the cheese advent calendar.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:48.580)
Daddy born, cheesy born, I love lunch cheese.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:57.580)
Dan does like cheese.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:58.580)
Dan likes cheese.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:59.580)
I also forgot to get the name of the person
Unknown Speaker (00:03:01.580)
who sent that in, but thank you to them.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:04.580)
As is our one.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:05.580)
Thank you very much, Tomb of the Unknown Person.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:08.580)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:09.580)
So anybody who was here at our last show last night
Unknown Speaker (00:03:12.580)
will know that I made a critical blunder
Unknown Speaker (00:03:16.580)
on this travel, and that is that I forgot my cheeses at home.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:21.580)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:22.580)
He did.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:23.580)
He did.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:24.580)
He did.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:25.580)
I made a huge deal out of how there would be cheese
Unknown Speaker (00:03:28.580)
here at the live shows, and then on the way to the airport,
Unknown Speaker (00:03:32.580)
I realized, fucking forgot the cheese.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:35.580)
I don't appreciate your attitude.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:37.580)
We could have lied to you.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:39.580)
We could have lied to you.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:40.580)
No.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:41.580)
This is a man in a spirit of openness and honesty
Unknown Speaker (00:03:43.580)
coming to you, and you're giving him booze.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:46.580)
How dare you?
Unknown Speaker (00:03:48.580)
I deserve a little bit of it, and I'll accept a few hisses
Unknown Speaker (00:03:52.580)
and a few boos here and there.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:56.580)
Did you guys go to Boston too?
Unknown Speaker (00:03:58.580)
Jesus.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:59.580)
The rain brought out the snakes.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:04.580)
So here's the good news.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:06.580)
The good news.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:07.580)
As I left these cheeses at home, it doesn't matter,
Unknown Speaker (00:04:10.580)
because the Aldi advent calendar, it would have been
Unknown Speaker (00:04:14.580)
repeat cheeses for these shows, and that's boring as shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:18.579)
It is.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:19.579)
So we got to Portland, and we got some new cheeses.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:25.579)
Tonight, I've got a red apple smoked mozzarella.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:31.579)
Ooh.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:32.579)
Have you ever wondered what it is we're all doing here?
Unknown Speaker (00:04:35.579)
All of you just went, ooh, fuck you, fuck you.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:38.579)
You're all insane.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:39.579)
We're all insane, but that's fine.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:41.579)
Keep going.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:42.579)
And so now, here comes the part of the show where Jordan vamps,
Unknown Speaker (00:04:46.579)
and I open this and take a big bite of mozzarella.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:55.579)
The amount of time it's going to take him to open it
Unknown Speaker (00:04:58.579)
is going to really open things up for me.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:01.579)
But here's what's going to happen, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:03.579)
I'm going to use this time for good, because last night,
Unknown Speaker (00:05:05.579)
we couldn't record the show.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:08.579)
It was a real bummer.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:10.579)
For whatever reasons, let's not say that they're entirely my fault.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:14.579)
Let's blame it on the tour manager, who is me?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:18.579)
So let's do that.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:20.579)
So today, I went and I got a recorder that could work tonight,
Unknown Speaker (00:05:24.579)
but, ooh, that's too big a bite.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:29.579)
That's too big a bite.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:32.579)
That's way too big a bite.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:34.579)
Don't, no, don't, no, no, no, no, no.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:36.579)
Not on the mic. Not on the mic.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:38.579)
No, so here's what's great about this, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:40.579)
Because this is a recording situation,
Unknown Speaker (00:05:43.579)
when I give this shout-out to Platinum Records Lights and Sound,
Unknown Speaker (00:05:47.579)
the guy who helped me was fucking amazing.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:49.579)
He got me everything. He took care of me.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:51.579)
He gave me a nice deal.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:53.579)
He did the whole thing, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:54.579)
And this will be a great piece of advertising if it fucking works.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:59.579)
I'm still grateful if he doesn't, but no one will ever know.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:09.579)
You took the opportunity while my mouth was full of cheese to do an ad.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:14.579)
I did a whole thing. I did a whole thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:17.579)
Every time I come here with nothing, he's like, ah, Jordan never prepares bits,
Unknown Speaker (00:06:22.579)
and then I prepare something, and now I'm an asshole.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:25.579)
I, uh, no.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:27.579)
I just am regretting everything.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:31.579)
About the cheese or life or the show?
Unknown Speaker (00:06:34.579)
No, taking the bite.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:35.579)
That was a real...
Unknown Speaker (00:06:36.579)
That was a bad bite.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:37.579)
That was a big bite, and now there's nothing I can really do with the rest of that.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:40.579)
I'm not going to throw open...
Unknown Speaker (00:06:42.579)
No, no, no.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:50.579)
No, this would be illegal. I could really hurt somebody with this.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:53.579)
I could really fucking hurt somebody.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:56.579)
I give it... you don't want it. You don't want it.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:02.579)
It's open.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:05.579)
So, yeah, I give that a B. That was fine.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:11.579)
The open food capital of the world.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:16.579)
In case you get sick from this, the performers have no liability.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:21.579)
It's not... that's not permission.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:24.579)
This is Portland. That's not permission to do whatever you want.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:29.579)
I think it often...
Unknown Speaker (00:07:30.579)
No, no, no, no. So he stops breathing if you squeeze hard enough.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:33.579)
This is Portland.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:36.579)
Them's the rules here.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:39.579)
So, Jordan, today we're here, not just to eat cheese, but also because we have an episode to do.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:45.579)
Indeed.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:48.579)
And there are people here.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:50.579)
Inexplicably.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:51.579)
And so I would like to open the proceedings by asking you about what kind of relationship you have with music festivals.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:00.579)
I mean, open, first off.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:03.579)
I've been to many and we've enjoyed each other's pleasantly and...
Unknown Speaker (00:08:07.579)
But you're not committed.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:08.579)
Some of them I don't speak to anymore.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:12.579)
I will say that Jane's addiction is no longer a friend of mine.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:15.579)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:16.579)
You got to follow me out?
Unknown Speaker (00:08:17.579)
Yeah, absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:19.579)
Did you go to any hippie jam band type of festivals?
Unknown Speaker (00:08:22.579)
My wife used to go to summer camp all the time.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:24.579)
She used to go to summer camp regularly.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:26.579)
Ooh.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:27.579)
To the four people who know what that is.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:29.579)
There was half of an applause.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:31.579)
Yeah, yeah. Summer camp is like the Bonnaroo for shitty Midwestern people in Chillicothe, Illinois.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:39.580)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:40.580)
So you've heard of it.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:42.580)
Oh, surprising.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:43.580)
Yeah, just imagine just like hazy smoke and everyone's dirty.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:49.580)
And one time, one time...
Unknown Speaker (00:08:50.580)
It's a great time, I guess.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:51.580)
One time Run the Jewels was there and everybody was like, well, now we have a black friend.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:59.580)
That translates. Now we're all on the same page.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:02.580)
Gotcha. Good.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:03.580)
So, Jordan, August 15th, 1969.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:09.580)
5.07 PM.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:11.580)
Richie Havens takes the stage in a field in New York.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:15.580)
Kicking off the most culturally defining rock and roll festival of the modern era.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:19.580)
It was supposed to be Sweetwater that opened the show, but they were late, so Havens got to break in Woodstock.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:25.580)
He got to break it open.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:27.580)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:28.580)
Over three days, you had bands like The Band and The Who changing the world with music.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:33.580)
On August 17th...
Unknown Speaker (00:09:36.580)
Are we doing a Woodstock recap?
Unknown Speaker (00:09:38.580)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:39.580)
Okay. Now I'm in. I just wanted to be clear, Ken Burns.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:45.580)
This is going to be that long.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:47.580)
Okay. No, I'm strapped in.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:50.580)
On August 17th, Jimi Hendrix closed the festival.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:53.580)
And his performance of The Star-Spangled Banner has stood as an enduring image in US political history.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:59.580)
Fun fact, doo-wop throwback act Sha Na Na performed just before Jimi Hendrix, which had to be a crazy vibe shift.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:08.580)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:10.580)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:11.580)
Sha Na Na opened and closed their set with their hit, Get a Job.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:18.580)
But because they're going back to the well and doing the same song again, their actual closing song was a cover of Gene Chandler's absurd Duke of Earl.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:33.580)
Sha Na Na did a cover of Duke of Earl.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:43.580)
Yeah, that's about how it goes.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:46.580)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:47.580)
So they did that at Woodstock.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:50.580)
Every time you think, oh, I bet those people were cool. Remember that.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:59.580)
So people did drugs and they fucked in the mud.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:02.580)
Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:04.580)
Listen to Sha Na Na.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:06.580)
Oh yeah, I can see stars.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:08.580)
Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:12.580)
But then it was over, you know, and it wouldn't be long after it ended until folks started to ask, could we do that again?
Unknown Speaker (00:11:20.580)
Smash cut to May, 1970.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:23.580)
The Portland Oregonian announces that the American Legion convention would be taking place in the South Park blocks neighborhood of Portland in September.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:31.580)
And President Richard Nixon would be the special guest.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:37.580)
It's about time somebody took it to Nixon.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:40.580)
You guys are on the right side of history.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:42.580)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:44.580)
Protests against the Vietnam war were at an all time high and Portland's a city with a revolutionary protest.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:49.580)
Hell yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:50.580)
Hell yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:54.580)
The powers that be, including Oregon governor Tom McCall were pretty worried about how Nixon coming to speak at this event was going to be a lightning rod for ne'er do wells.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:03.580)
The FBI warned that anti-war groups were already planning elaborate disruptions for the convention and hysteria about violence was growing.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:11.580)
The fear was mostly centered around a group called the People's Army Jamboree.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:20.580)
It's a cool name.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:26.580)
Squares back then imagined them to be a roving gang of violent hippies who were going to arrive in Portland and burn the city down.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:34.580)
20 years later, Reagan did smuggle guns to them though.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:38.580)
That's how, that's how crazy it is, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:12:40.580)
They started out real Jamboree cool and then they're Iran Contra cool.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:44.580)
So, you know, it changes, things change.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:45.580)
They were kind of like in a lot of public mind, they were kind of how we treat Antifa now, except the People's Army Jamboree did exist as an organized entity.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:56.580)
And they had an infrastructure.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:58.580)
Funny story, that infrastructure was facilitated and ultimately destroyed by a $10,000 donation from the heir to the Blue Bell Potato Chip Company.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:08.580)
Which allowed them to get rent and office, but it also led to huge infighting about who got the chip money.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:13.580)
Money is the root of all evil, specifically potato chip money.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:18.580)
So the Jamboree wanted a permit to hold a week long encampment in Washington Park and the city was like, fuck no.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:25.580)
The city commissioner held the position that they weren't going to be allowed to gather in any public space and they better just go find somewhere to rent.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:34.580)
So, so essentially we're John Lithgow and this is Flip Loose.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:39.580)
No dancing in parks.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:41.580)
No Jamborees.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:43.580)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:45.580)
So one of the problems that the People's Army Jamboree had was a lack of message discipline.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:50.580)
I mean a Jamboree is by definition undisciplined.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:54.580)
Nobody's ever been like, oh, this disciplined Jamboree.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:57.580)
This is a rigid Jamboree.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:59.580)
No, yeah, no. This is a very structured Jamboree.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:02.580)
Yeah. It was a big tent situation in the hippie scene at the time.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:06.580)
On the one hand, you had the resolutely political people who were focused on getting a permit to protest the American Legion convention featuring Richard Nixon.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:14.580)
On the other hand, you had a bunch of other folks who were out there just trying to have fun and get weird.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:19.580)
Portland poet and performance artist, Peter Fornara, who's listed as the office manager for the Jamboree on their protest permit.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:27.580)
I'm the office manager for a Jamboree.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:33.580)
Thanks to the chip money.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:34.580)
Who's the HR rep for the Jamboree?
Unknown Speaker (00:14:38.580)
So he was contacted by the media and asked about a rumor that the Jamboree was bringing in 25,000 hippies from around the country to protest.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:48.580)
Well, you're going to need an office manager for that many hippies.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:51.580)
That actually makes it, now I know it. I'm right. The bureaucratic is important.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:56.580)
He told them it was actually 50,000.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:00.580)
Which led to all of the squares freaking out.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:04.580)
Later Fornara would explain his estimate by saying, quote, we heard the Legion expected to bring 25,000 people to Portland, so we just doubled the number.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:14.580)
We made it up out of thin air. The number meant nothing. It was just talk.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:20.580)
But from there it was gospel and it was the image of exactly what the normies were afraid of.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:26.580)
There was misinformation coming from the FBI and troll shit coming from members of the Jamboree itself and things were getting out of hand.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:34.580)
Tensions were bubbling and by August things are so crazy that the mayor of Portland, Terry Shrunk, declared an emergency.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:43.580)
As did Oregon Governor McCall, which included a provision that took the permit for public spaces power away from the city commissioner and he gave it to the mayor.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:52.580)
Right, right, right. So, importantly, let's just pull back for a second and all of this is because hippies might be coming.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:02.580)
Yeah, a lot of them. And they're mad at Nixon.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:04.580)
They might be coming.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:06.580)
50,000 hippies vs Nixon?
Unknown Speaker (00:16:09.580)
You know what, I'm shocked that we have taken a turn toward fascism in this country. It seems crazy.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:14.580)
It seems crazy in retrospect because everybody is so fucking rational all the time.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:18.580)
Yeah, totally. The story only gets less rational.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:22.580)
Unsurprising.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:24.580)
So, seeking to find a compromise, Mayor Shrunk allowed a permit for the People's Army Jamboree to use a different park, East Delta Park, to camp and hold workshops at the time of the American Legion convention.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:36.580)
However, he also gave a permit for the same park to a group called the Free People's Pop Festival, which wanted to do another Woodstock at the same time.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:52.580)
Your mind is putting pieces together, I think.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:55.580)
You know, sometimes when you look back you go, I can't believe they didn't get their shit together.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:00.580)
Can't believe we're here where we are now.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:02.580)
So close. They were right there.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:04.579)
In one set of circumstances, this would represent a disaster for the American Legion.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:09.579)
Now you have the Jamboree being allowed to hold an encampment against their convention in Portland and a potential second Woodstock popping up that's going to draw people from around the country.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:18.579)
It's a perfect storm.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:20.579)
Or so it would appear.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:22.579)
Because none of it is real.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:24.579)
Because it's all pretend.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:26.579)
I'll cut to the chase and tell you that the Free People's Pop Festival is irrelevant and it didn't end up happening.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:30.579)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:32.579)
But keep it in your mind.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:34.579)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:36.579)
It was supposed to happen at East Delta Park and anti-Legion protests at the same place where they were scheduled to happen.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:39.579)
At this point, everyone's losing their damn minds.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:42.579)
The good citizens of Portland are pissed off that the government is making concessions and allowing these hippies to get together.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:47.579)
And a splinter faction of the People's Army Jamboree are starting to worry that like, are we causing a violent thing?
Unknown Speaker (00:17:55.579)
Are we going to... are we part of the problem here?
Unknown Speaker (00:17:58.579)
I want to say that the moment you're in the Jamboree and then you go, we're a splinter faction, you should be like, the Jamboree has gone wrong.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:06.579)
Once a splinter faction starts, things have already gone too far.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:11.579)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:12.579)
So one such worried hippie was Sam McNall, who happened to be the son of Oregon Governor Tom McNall.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:18.579)
Sam had gotten hooked on painkillers at the age of 13 and descended into a bit of a life of crime.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:22.579)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:24.579)
His family had committed a few times and he was known to hang around at a free clinic in Portland called the Outside Inn, where he would meet...
Unknown Speaker (00:18:31.579)
He would meet a guy named Charles... Dr. Charles Spray.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:35.579)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:37.579)
And I only brought him up because I intended to squirt Jordan with a squirt gun.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:39.579)
That makes sense.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:40.579)
I thought I was Charles Spray, but then I bailed on it because I thought it would be me.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:43.579)
Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:45.579)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:47.579)
So Sam and a number of other hippie associates thought that direct confrontation with the American Legion would lead to violence.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:54.579)
And their hippie ideology was supposed to be about higher vibrations, not lower ones.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:58.579)
That's not what the Jamboree stands for.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:00.579)
Nah.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:02.579)
According to this splinter faction, on the other hand...
Unknown Speaker (00:19:04.579)
The Legion protest had a message that it was all negative.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:07.579)
Like it's all this stuff we're against.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:09.579)
Like war.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:11.579)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:13.579)
Where as they could put on an event that would be free to attend, it would be all about showing that there's a different way of life possible.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:18.579)
Like war!
Unknown Speaker (00:19:20.579)
Or fucking in the mud.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:22.579)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:24.579)
That's kind of against the war.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:26.579)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:28.579)
So this dream would lead to the creation of the Vortex One Festival.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:31.579)
Alright.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:33.579)
Whoever came up with that name won.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:35.579)
They hoped for another.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:37.579)
What a great name for the Vortex One. Who are you?
Unknown Speaker (00:19:41.579)
That's a fucking Top Gun name.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:43.579)
Vortex One! What are you doing?
Unknown Speaker (00:19:46.579)
Goose Two.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:48.579)
Right? What have we got? Oh my god.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:50.579)
So right about now you might be asking yourself, wasn't there already a permit granted for the Free People's Pop Festival?
Unknown Speaker (00:19:55.579)
That's actually what I was exactly asking myself.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:57.579)
And you're right to be confused about that.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:59.579)
I've read a bunch about this and the only conclusion that I can come to for sure is that no one is telling the truth about how this happened.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:08.579)
Most of the people are self-mythologizing liars.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:12.579)
Sure, sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:14.579)
The only thing that's certain is that someone came up with a brilliant idea which was for the government to sanction and sponsor a different music festival.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:23.579)
At the same time somewhere else hoping to lure the hippies away from Portland and from the American Legion convention featuring Richard Nixon.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:40.579)
You taking it in?
Unknown Speaker (00:20:44.579)
There's too many hippies coming. What are we gonna do?
Unknown Speaker (00:20:47.579)
I know. The Music Man!
Unknown Speaker (00:20:49.579)
We'll get a band together and we'll take them all from one town to the next. We'll just go together.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:59.579)
And then they're in a different town and we don't have to worry about it anymore.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:03.579)
If you have enough trombones people will just support the war.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:10.579)
You win.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:12.579)
And this is exactly what happened.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:14.579)
Boom!
Unknown Speaker (00:21:16.579)
A weird alliance of some concerned Jamboree members, the office of the governor of Oregon and some community organizations threw together Vortex One as an explicit attempt to separate the culture from the counterculture.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:29.579)
Their hope was to drive a wedge between the serious minded anti-Vietnam protesters and the fun loving music festival lifestyle types.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:37.579)
Which is a winning strategy that we see undermining protest movements still today.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:41.579)
Sure, sure, sure, sure. Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:43.579)
So now we have the People's Army Jamboree planning their encampment at East Delta Park.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:48.579)
And the state of Oregon has given MacIver State Park to the hippies to throw their Vortex One festival.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:53.579)
Which sucked up all the resources that would have otherwise gone to the Free People's Pop Festival.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:58.579)
Okay, so here's what brings me to my...
Unknown Speaker (00:22:01.579)
So there's the Ken Burns explanation of how the Civil War fought and how the military moves around.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:05.579)
And then there's the community episode where basically Ken Burns explains how people moved their pillow forts around.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:12.579)
Somehow this is right in between there.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:14.579)
It's both.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:16.579)
Right? Like this is pillow fort fighting.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:18.579)
But at the same time it's far more real.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:21.579)
Yeah, you're going to be so disappointed at the end of this.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:26.579)
So at MacIver State Park, which is why I wanted to go out there and we would have probably had it not rained.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:32.579)
We would have had it.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:33.579)
You could have been there.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:35.579)
But at that park everyone would be allowed to do drugs and be naked.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:39.579)
And the police had orders not to interfere.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:44.579)
Boys! We're not going near Fuck Park!
Unknown Speaker (00:22:48.579)
None of you go near Fuck Park!
Unknown Speaker (00:22:51.579)
Not you, not you Terry! I know you're going to Fuck Park! Get away from Fuck Park!
Unknown Speaker (00:22:57.579)
I know you're itching to give out food tickets, but not this weekend.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:03.579)
You're the only one. Never mind.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:06.579)
To this location it was chosen strategically because there was only one road in or out of the state park.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:14.579)
So once the hippies were there the police would have the advantage of probably being able to keep them there.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:19.579)
So now that there's a plan starting to come together, everyone loses their goddamn minds being pulled this way and that way by propaganda.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:28.579)
The state wants Vortex to be a huge hit, so it'll succeed in luring the hippies away from Portland while Nixon is there.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:35.579)
While it's unclear what role the government had in helping spread these whispers, there were a ton of rumors about huge acts that were going to be there.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:43.579)
They tried to get the message out that this was going to be bigger than Woodstock.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:46.579)
Like Jefferson Airplane is going to be there. John Lennon is going to come in and do a set.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:52.579)
You can just make stuff up back then. You can just make it up. Nobody could even look it up.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:57.579)
Everything was the fire festival.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:00.579)
Every single day you would just go to a fire festival and then it would be like, well you're trapped here.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:07.579)
And you're a slave now I guess. That's America up until the fire festival.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:12.579)
And you kind of had fun at that disaster of a festival.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:15.579)
Well what else were you going to do?
Unknown Speaker (00:24:16.579)
So meanwhile, a rival music festival promoter named Bruce Mackin was trying to stop Vortex from happening because it threatened to destroy his upcoming festival, Bullfrog 4.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:32.579)
He spread vicious rumors about the Vortex organizers and told the police that their vendors were communist fronts.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:40.579)
All in an unsuccessful bid to put them out of business.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:44.579)
While this didn't end up derailing the Vortex festival, it did trickle down to the public in the form of fear.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:51.579)
So when the time for the festival came around, everyone was on edge.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:55.579)
Scared as shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:00.579)
I don't know why we made it this far. I feel like we should all be dead.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:05.579)
And here's the point where you're really going to be disappointing.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:08.579)
Then nothing happened.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:10.579)
Oh god. These fucking people man.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:12.579)
At the last minute, Richard Nixon cancelled his speech at the American League of
Unknown Speaker (00:25:20.579)
Oh my god.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:22.579)
So that kind of took the wind out of the sails of the Jamboree protests.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:26.579)
So we're doing the story of the greatest case of blue balls in Oregon history.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:31.579)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:33.579)
The turnout was good at Vortex, but the lineup sucked.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:35.579)
So it had almost zero cultural impact outside of being the first and almost certainly only hippie music festival officially sponsored by the state government.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:48.579)
That has never happened and probably never will again.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:52.579)
In the end, it was mostly just local bands that ended up playing at the festival, but there was one place where Vortex truly did get one up on Woodstock.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:02.579)
At Woodstock, Shana Na did a cover of Duke of Earl.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:06.579)
But at Vortex, Duke of Earl did a cover of Shana Na.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:09.579)
Jean motherfucking Chandler was there!
Unknown Speaker (00:26:12.579)
Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl, Duke, Duke, Duke.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:17.579)
Brought to you by the governor of Oregon.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:20.579)
Enjoy your fucking and listen to the real Duke of Earl.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:25.579)
I do.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:27.579)
There is something beautiful because you can always recognize it.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:30.579)
We've all seen it so many times in our life when there was clearly a group of people who didn't have any voice from outside that group of people.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:38.579)
And at the end of the day, they all went, that's a great idea.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:42.579)
And if any human being outside of that was like, you're going to set up a rival music festival named Vortex One.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:51.579)
And you're not going to make a comic book about this?
Unknown Speaker (00:26:54.579)
Well, then you're an idiot, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:57.579)
The market may be open.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:59.579)
Yeah, absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:01.579)
So today we honor this completely absurd piece of Portland history by covering a little bit of the period of time on Alex's show when that festival happened in 2011.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:12.579)
Yes, absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:13.579)
The meteoric trajectory of this tangent has finally landed.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:25.579)
And what I love about it is how from the beginning I know this is going to be so disappointing.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:32.579)
It's eventually going to get there.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:34.579)
It's going to lead to nothing and Nixon cancels.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:36.579)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:38.579)
Like all good spaceship crashes, it went up real high.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:41.579)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:42.579)
And then it went real low.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:44.579)
Yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:46.579)
So you're ready to jump into this episode?
Unknown Speaker (00:27:48.579)
I suppose.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:50.579)
Okay, sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:52.579)
What have we been doing up to this point? Is it a bad question?
Unknown Speaker (00:27:57.579)
Preamble.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:59.579)
Ah, I gotcha.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:01.579)
So here we are. It's August 28th, 2011 when the festival was kicking off.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:07.579)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:08.579)
And here's some big stuff that's going on around this time too.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:11.579)
This is a monumental little piece of history for him.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:16.579)
Here's why.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:18.579)
It is Sunday, the 28th day of August, 2011.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:23.579)
And we're now just, what, four days away from the premiere of InfoWars Nightly News, a completely new media operation.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:32.579)
Folks know that I'm dedicated, my crew is dedicated, so that's certainly bellying up to the InfoWars Warfare Bar to sign on to produce five TV shows a week.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:45.579)
You've seen some of the special reports, a lot of production value, a ton of research, hard-hitting.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:52.579)
It's hard-hitting stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:54.579)
We're about to launch the Nightly News.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:56.579)
Wow.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:57.579)
Sometimes when you know the end of the thing, the beginning of a thing sounds crazy.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:04.579)
What had a less exciting trajectory? The story about Vortex One or the Nightly News?
Unknown Speaker (00:29:12.579)
The Nightly News. Woof. What a, what a somehow boring plane crash. A plane crash that happens at negative three miles per hour.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:20.579)
So here we are just days away from the launch of the InfoWars Nightly News, which joins the InfoWars Magazine and the InfoWars Washington DC desk in the pantheon of unnecessary projects Alex took on to make his shit look like a normal news outlet.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:36.579)
It was a good idea for InfoWars in 2011 because the trajectory at that point looked like they were building towards an extreme right-wing alternative to Fox that could last.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:46.579)
In 2025, the idea of trying to build infrastructure seems insane because Alex's show right now is basically leading to a climactic battle with the devil.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:57.579)
Yeah, absolutely. Not like we're going to do news.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:59.579)
I mean, it would be if, if you had intended to battle the devil from the beginning, I would suggest your infrastructure issues would be slightly different.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:08.579)
It would probably involve more holy water, presumably paladin-based spellcasting. I think you would want like at least two d8s between, you know, like, yeah, no, you're in trouble.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:23.579)
And if you're doing a hard hitting nightly news show about how goes the war with the devil, you're going to have to do some pretty weird things.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:30.579)
News from the front! Your children are never going to escape!
Unknown Speaker (00:30:37.579)
Man on the street interview with someone who did battle with the demon. Great.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:43.579)
So this show, the InfoWars Nightly News, it served as a good place for the junior varsity players to get some practice, but ultimately by the time the network went full on for Trump, there was really no need for it anymore.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:54.579)
The Nightly News was designed to be a more calm, prepared, professional presentation of the news, but the entire media space that InfoWars was in had become engulfed in trolling, yelling, and laughing at your enemies, crying and memes and stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:08.579)
This format was pretty much useless to what InfoWars grew into and it ended in 2017 with almost no one noticing.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:15.579)
Yeah. I think, I think whenever we were growing up, right, and our parents would tell us stuff about how they were growing up and we wouldn't be able to relate to it, we would still be able to understand the concept of like, oh, it was slightly worse than what I have now.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:32.579)
I don't think a child now could understand like, no, it was wise at that time to be like less extreme.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:39.579)
There was no advantage to just bating attention out of people.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:42.579)
No, absolutely. Like they just, there's no existence of like, hey, pull it back a little bit. That doesn't exist in 2025.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:49.579)
Yeah. It was harder to start a career just based on starting fights with people on websites.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:54.579)
You know what? It's hard. I would suggest it's probably hard right now to start a career as like America's newsman. How's America's newsman doing these days?
Unknown Speaker (00:32:06.579)
So good.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:08.579)
I don't know if he's doing okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:09.579)
I did. I fell off after he did an interview with Enzo Amore, former WWE wrestler. I was like, what?
Unknown Speaker (00:32:16.579)
And then I was looking at his, uh, his channel and another interview he did broke my heart. It was with Dr. Drew.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:22.579)
So that's not Amore.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:24.579)
Owen Schroyer interviewed Dr. Drew. That's a sad booking for the man.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:28.579)
Owen Schroyer interviewed Dr. Drew.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:30.579)
So Alex is trying to tease the upcoming, uh, the, the nightly news. And so he plays a bit of a field piece that Darren McBreen has filed.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:42.579)
It's all about how utility prices are going up.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:46.579)
With more on these incredible developments, we're joined by info wars.com reporter, Darren McBreen in downtown Austin.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:54.579)
I'm Darren McBreen with info wars, nightly news, and I'm here today at the Texas state Capitol.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:05.579)
And we're about to find out if the people of Austin are aware that they are about to be hit by a wave of utility bill hikes.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:11.579)
New EPA regulations drive up the cost of energy.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:15.579)
What do you think about paying higher utility bills because of the EPA's new regulations against power plants?
Unknown Speaker (00:33:21.579)
You know, there may be some new regulations coming up against power plants at this point, but unfortunately right now, I think that our citizens, uh, statewide and nationwide, basically all over the burden, especially with today's economic, uh, city developments and situations that are going on.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:37.579)
I think rate hikes should be at a minimal to at least try to alleviate some of the burden on our taxpayers and our citizens nationwide and statewide.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:44.579)
I know a lot of people that are going to be not only shocked, but a little bit irritated about that as well. I mean, they're already, I mean, cause it's such a hot summer.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:52.579)
Yeah. Yeah. That's so boring.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:58.579)
Well, but I play it because it's kind of interesting to feel them trying.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:04.579)
I don't know. There was something captivating about how boring it was. Like that's such a reasonable response.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:10.579)
This is the format of the game.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:13.579)
I'm fucking on the edge of my seat. What other rational thing are you about to say?
Unknown Speaker (00:34:17.579)
Wait, rate hikes are bad?
Unknown Speaker (00:34:20.579)
Do you have basic competence? What is happening right now?
Unknown Speaker (00:34:24.579)
Yeah. I mean, like back then they knew at least like we'll bring a camera and we'll go and edit some B roll together or whatever. We'll talk to some people.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:34.579)
It's not just yelling about a tweet.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:36.579)
I mean, it is so, I just feel like it's more and more rare to just hear somebody be like, Hey, maybe just like alleviate some of the prices on us. That got my nipples hard. I was like, yeah, yeah, buddy.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:50.579)
It's a hot summer. This brings me back.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:53.579)
So Alex has one main story that's going on on this show. He's mad that Al Gore, who's, you know, worried about climate change.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:03.579)
He is calling climate deniers racist and Alex will not stand for this.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:09.579)
He's a mobster! Shaking me down with a private corporate tax every time I pay my power bill!
Unknown Speaker (00:35:16.579)
Going in and mothballing all our city-owned utilities to jack up prices, to create artificial...
Unknown Speaker (00:35:21.579)
Okay, start going to the clip where he says you're a racist and it's the new civil rights movement. If you don't pay him carbon taxes, here it is.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:30.579)
If you're going to take that power on, then you have to win the conversation. And that means challenging the climate deniers, asserting your beliefs.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:44.579)
Holocaust deniers!
Unknown Speaker (00:35:45.579)
You have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist, you have to be a racist
Unknown Speaker (00:36:15.579)
My generation asked older people, explain to me again why it's okay to discriminate against people because their skin color is different? And when they couldn't really answer that question with integrity, the change really started. Secondly, back to this phrase win the conversation, there came a time when friends or people you worked with or people you were in clubs with, you're much younger than me so you didn't really go through that
Unknown Speaker (00:36:45.579)
with us personally but there came a time when the racist comments would come up in the course of the conversation and in years past they were just you know just natural. There came a time when people said hey why do you talk that way? We'll be back with the next hour, I'll play the rest out, it's unbelievable. Yeah man, so boringly Al Gore said that you're a racist if you like if you're against climate change.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:15.579)
Here's what I feel like, I feel like if I was going to like quantum leap myself anywhere it would be into Al Gore because I feel like everything Al Gore said was 100% accurate but if it was me and if it was instead of him being like you have to win the conversation, you have to win the conversation! Right, you would like poke him. The climate's fucked! You know? His delivery might have been a little soft.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:45.579)
Good point but yell it! Yeah, get in there! You do have to win, see that's the problem, if you're right about you have to win the conversation then you have to win the conversation! Yeah and that, yay. I agree, the structure of how the conversation is happening is precluding you from doing it. But if it weren't for his horrible failures we wouldn't have gotten some great Futurama episodes. So you know it's a worthy trade! Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:13.579)
So this is one of Alex's big stories for the day, that Al Gore said that you're racist if you don't believe in climate change. As is the case so often with the narratives that Alex pushes, the problem comes down to either not understanding basic linguistics or him being willing to exploit that in an audience. Al Gore is saying that there's a similarity between the racists who oppose the civil rights movement and the people who were denying the existence of human made climate change.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:40.579)
Now the similarity these groups have isn't that they're both racist, it's that they both only can make their arguments if the other side humours them politely for the sake of getting along. Eventually the level of racism that exists is kind of dictated by how seriously a society takes racism and the same is true of climate denial.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:00.579)
At the start of the civil rights movement both sides, society didn't fully take racism that seriously and there was a lot of desire on the public to both sides of the issue to reduce conflict. An essential part of winning that conversation was moving away from that both sides mentality and towards a place where if your argument was based on just racism people felt free not to treat it like a valid point.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:22.579)
That's the similarity that Gore is talking about here. We've humoured climate deniers on the basis of assuming that their arguments came from a place of good faith but we've reached the point where that's no longer possible.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:32.579)
At the beginning of the civil rights era maybe you could pretend that you supported segregation for some non-hateful reason but there came a point when all those possible reasons were shown to be bullshit and anyone holding onto supporting segregation was clearly just a racist.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:47.579)
When the conversation about climate change started it was possible that you could have some doubts and scepticism but there came a point where a lot of those doubts and scepticism concerns have been addressed.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:57.579)
It's pretty reasonable to assume that if you're someone who's hostile as hell towards climate change stuff you might have a link to the fossil fuel industry.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:05.579)
Eventually you reach a point where if you had a genuine question it was answered. So if you're still asking questions your real answer is shut the fuck up and go away. Shut the fuck up. But what if oil is good for you? Shut the fuck up and go away.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:23.579)
And that's the point that Al Gore is trying to make and that Alex is saying is him saying that.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:28.579)
And yet because it is a good point but the point involves saying shut the fuck up Al Gore cannot make it well.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:36.579)
Yep. He doesn't have the freedom of yelling.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:39.579)
Yeah it's so brutal. It's just a brutal paradox that the man who was right about everything had to speak too soft.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:47.579)
So that clip it's not really that important of a news story. Alex it's just Al Gore says climate deniers are racist. It's something he'll move on from.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:56.579)
It's not that important but I needed to play it for you because now we're going to take a hard turn into one of the ads on Alex's show.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:07.579)
Ok.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:31.579)
Is that reverse Calc Girl?
Unknown Speaker (00:41:37.579)
It's time to take America back.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:39.579)
Oh boy.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:42.579)
In 2011 Alex was taking ad money from the American third position party which is definitely not a surprise now but it probably should have been dealt with as a bigger issue for him at the time.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:52.579)
Yeah I imagine so.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:53.579)
A3P is a neo-fascist political party that's organized mostly around white supremacy.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:58.579)
Wow.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:00.579)
That was actually America's first position.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:03.579)
I don't know. I think we should all be proud that maybe it got relegated to third but maybe we're lying to ourselves and we're saying it's third. I don't know. I don't know. But it feels like that was number one.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:12.579)
The party started on the neo-Nazi message board Stormfront where a group
Unknown Speaker (00:42:17.579)
Here's what I like. Before we go any further here's what I like. We talked about this a little bit before the show. It is very hard from a physical perspective if you are us to hear a lot of people boo at you and not go I fucked up.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:35.579)
My body is telling me that that's my fault.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:37.579)
Oh shit. We gotta fight. So we respect that all of you genuinely meant that in the spirit of goodness.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:46.579)
So Stormfront. Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:48.579)
Boo. God damn it. Lord you listen. No I'm just kidding.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:53.579)
So a group of. Here's what I want you to do instead. If you feel like booing instead everybody united say thank you Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:00.579)
No. No. Boo away. One two three. Thank you Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:06.579)
Boo.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:08.579)
But thank you. Stop it but I appreciate it.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:11.579)
This is an evil power that I have just gained.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:14.579)
So Stormfront.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:18.579)
I'm going to die. I'm going to go to hell for this. Yep. Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:21.579)
I should have I should have fucking brought this to me. You should have fucking squirted me.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:26.579)
So there were a group of skinheads. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:32.579)
Oh man. They called themselves the freedom 14.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:36.579)
And they decided that they wanted to try and get explicit racist shit into the mainstream political conversation by putting a polite respectable face on.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:44.579)
Sure. In 2009 they launched the Golden State Party to try and stealthily run neo-Nazi candidates in California elections.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:51.579)
Not to nail threes from any distance. No. Completely different party. No. Not this Steph Curry rocks party.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:59.579)
I was trying to think if AC Green ever plays. That is for so few people but that you're here is amazing.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:07.579)
It pretty quickly came out that the chairman of this party was a fellow. So it hurt their chances that the whole polite respectable face part of the plan.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:15.579)
But the Nazis were unfazed and they decided to rename themselves America's third position and make a lawyer named William Daniel Johnson their figurehead.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:24.579)
OK. Johnson had a history of calling for the deportation of everyone in the United States who wasn't white.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:30.579)
Sure. And had written a proposed amendment to the Constitution under the pseudonym James O. Pace in 1987 that would have repealed the 14th and 15th Amendment.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:43.579)
You know. OK. Here's the thing. You've got to remember that pre-internet right. It's remarkable that these things existed because you can go back and you can be like they wasted paper on this.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:58.579)
Everybody you know has written one of these. You know most of the people you've seen on the internet has like. Here's the amendment that I would fucking write.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:06.579)
Do you have like in your drafts do you have like a bunch of them. Oh yeah. Yeah. You don't want to know what some of them are. America's first position is going to be its last position if you know what I'm saying.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:18.579)
Thank you Jordan.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:22.579)
So Johnson ran for office a number of times and he associated with serious racist and Nazi creeps.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:28.579)
There is no reason for Alex or anyone who he's working with to not know who America's third position is in 2011. And it's inexcusable for him to take advertising money from these Nazis.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:39.579)
Anyway William Daniel Johnson was one of Donald Trump's delegates for California.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:48.579)
At the 2016 RNC. You know sometimes sometimes because I'm from sports sometimes it's hard it's hard for people to like who aren't from sports to understand what sports moments really mean to them.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:01.579)
So if you're from sports and you listen to that this would be like a Tiger Woods moment like that was a boom right there. That's what that was. That was a sports. I felt it. I felt good. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:12.579)
That's good stuff. The media reported on him being a super explicit racist. So Trump's campaign tried to pretend that his inclusion as a delegate was the result of a database error.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:24.579)
Which is I'm sure also why Alex took the ad. Was the error that he was in the database. No it's that you saw the database.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:34.579)
Oh you guys saw that we picked a racist shit guy who's in charge of this shit party. So anyway the rest of this episode isn't so great. It's not that interesting. Well but that kind of happens sometimes at music festivals.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:50.579)
Oh my God the tangent just hit. Oh God. A second tangent has hit the Jordan.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:58.579)
Oh my God I got hit from the back. So on the first day you're kind of getting used to fucking in the mud. Yeah. Sure. You don't get the real marquee act. No. So maybe we can just jump to the 29th. We'll see what the lineup is like on the porta potties are a little bit less enticing at this point in time. Oh yeah. Oh for sure. All right. So here's some of the news that we're dealing with.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:23.579)
Burglars family awarded $300,000 in wrongful death suit. This is out of El Paso, Texas. And the family business had been robbed repeatedly. A family business had been robbed repeatedly. So the family stayed up late, stayed in the business.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:45.579)
And when the armed admitted methamphetamine addicts, it's all here in the article, came in, they shot one of them who was armed. And the jury has ruled that, and I'm seeing more and more of this, that they are civilly liable.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:08.579)
My friends, there's a castle doctrine. You can shoot someone if they come in your house and break in period, day or night. Sure. If it's nighttime, you can shoot somebody in your yard.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:21.579)
Well, that's good to know. That's just good to know. I didn't know that. That's good to know. That is affected by daylight. You're going to get no build by the grand jury, even if it's in your yard.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:34.579)
And we see cases of this all over the country where people have been robbed over and over and over again. So they leave their garage door open.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:46.579)
They sit there like they're deer hunting. They shoot them and they kill them. When you have that type of activity, you have much lower crime rates.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:00.579)
Holy shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:04.579)
That is exactly what the rich guy in the most dangerous game would say. All right, so he's coming for me too. All right, so all I was doing was hiding up in the trees in my blind waiting for this guy wearing a robe to run by. But he was trying to kill me, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:23.579)
It takes two to tango. Right? So you can defend yourself on your own property, but what you can't do is wait around like you're hunting deer and then murder people when they try to break in.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:37.579)
So all right, now it was hard to get a general contractor to remove the concrete from our driveway, replace it with sharpened spikes and then cover it over with a very similarly camouflaged looking thing. But you know what? Quality work you have to pay for.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:54.579)
Yeah. You just got it. So a few of the major factors in this civil case that ended up happening was that the guys who did the shooting had previously told people, including the police, that they intended to kill future trespassers.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:07.579)
So that would strike one. Strike two, they chased the burglars and yelled, we're going to get you. And the guy they ended up killing was hiding in a shed with a bullet hitting him after going through a shed's wall. He posed no threat to them at all.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:26.579)
Okay. So if I understand correctly, in this universe, right, we're the people from the hills have eyes that we just like accidentally walked onto his face and then he's like, listen, if you take a step in there, you're going to get eaten by incest babies. That's it. I mean, it's on you.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:42.579)
Castle doctor.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:43.579)
Castle doctor. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:46.579)
I get that the second amendment is important to Alex and all that, but he really shouldn't have this position. And even gun rights folks were critical of this shooting. You can find a lot of conversation from the time about how lucky this dude is that he lives in Texas, because if he'd done the same thing in a number of other states, he would have been looking at murder charges.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:03.579)
Yeah. As it stands, he was just sued by the daughter of the guy he killed and the jury found him responsible for his death. You don't just get to execute people. Yeah. I guess that Alex doesn't agree with that.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:15.579)
Well, I mean, listen, once, once you start liking mounting the heads of things on a wall, sometimes you can get carried away whenever you're just, the spirit takes me and you're like, well, I saw a mounted head on the wall. That's, that's Dave.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:30.579)
Dave was a really nice guy, but his ears were long. So you kind of want to have them on your wall. I get it. No, I get it.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:39.579)
So this is a power that Alex derives the right to kill people from the Magna Carta.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:46.579)
Yeah, why not?
Unknown Speaker (00:51:47.579)
I don't think the punishment fits a crime, but still it's a castle right. An ancient pre-holder right. Magna Carta 1215 right. If somebody comes on your land, especially at night, you can kill them. People should know this.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:01.579)
Especially at night.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:02.579)
You should know this.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:03.579)
You should know this.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:04.579)
Especially if no trespassing signs are posted. And they were.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:07.579)
Yeah. If you got signs up, kill.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:12.579)
But now I think that this position is one that Alex can have. Yeah. Because he doesn't steal stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:21.579)
You know, if you steal stuff from people, then maybe you're going to get castle doctrine, Magna Carta, you get shot.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:26.579)
Unfortunately, Alex gets lost in telling a story about stealing stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:30.579)
I don't think the punishment fits the crime. I don't think it's good that he is dead. I'll be honest. I was never a big thief, but I grew up on a golf course and I learned from older friends how to go up to the country club and the golfers would have a big container, a nice chest on the back of their golf carts full of beer.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:57.579)
And I only did it a few times, mainly when older kids would say, come on, it's your turn. Come on. You want some beer? I'd be like 12, 13, 14 years old. All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:07.579)
I remember going to, just like in Caddyshack at the country club. Wasn't as fancy as the Caddyshack country club, but you'd have all the adults at the country club drinking.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:18.579)
They'd leave their drink sitting there half drunk, just like in Caddyshack where Spalding is going down the bar, taking a drink out of each one and then he drinks one that has a cigarette in it and goes out and vomits on the guy's Porsche.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:33.579)
All right. I'm digressing.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:35.579)
I wouldn't want my child doing what I did, grabbing some beer or grabbing some watermelons.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:43.579)
In fact, I have some cousins that told the story of just for fun, stealing some watermelons and they were running off with them and here came the shotgun pellets and they were too far away for it to penetrate, but it sure hurt them. The old timers knew how to do it.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:02.579)
Yeah, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:03.579)
Whoa.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:05.579)
Those old timers knew how to do it.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:07.579)
Your conclusion at the end of all of that was those old timers knew how to do it.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:12.579)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:14.579)
They knew how to shoot it kids. Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:16.579)
I can see why it was more difficult to learn lessons in the past.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:21.579)
Those old timers knew how to do it also included. I mean, I feel like he drugged somebody. I feel like this story involves him putting something in somebody's drink.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:30.579)
Yeah. I mean, it's a country club. He's stealing booze. He should have been shot.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:35.579)
I don't like it. I think he should have been shot.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:37.579)
By his own standards. If he was shot, we would have to say like, man, what are you going to do?
Unknown Speaker (00:54:42.579)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:44.579)
Oh, well.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:46.579)
So Jordan, on that thought of his life may have ended at a golf course at 13 for stealing beers.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:54.579)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:56.579)
Let's go to a commercial.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:57.579)
I think we need to see what else is going on besides Nazi advertising.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:01.579)
Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:03.579)
Hey Brian, if you could do just one thing today to ensure your family's food security, what would it be?
Unknown Speaker (00:55:08.579)
That's easy, Bill. I'd head straight to soupbeansurvival.com.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:13.579)
Soupbeansurvival.com? I know, Bill, it sounds crazy, but this ancient secret has been around for over 8,000 years.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:21.579)
And it truly is nature's super survival food.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:24.579)
Really, Brian? The number one survival food? Well, certainly the forgotten survival food.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:30.579)
Absolutely, Bill. The folks at soupbeansurvival.com scoured our planet to find the very best heirloom seeds to truly find nature's super survival food.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:42.579)
Brian, these aren't grocery store beans, are they?
Unknown Speaker (00:55:44.579)
Oh, wait, bro. You're not going to find these beans?
Unknown Speaker (00:55:46.579)
So yes, they are 100% grocery store beans.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:49.579)
Well, you may or not, they are 100%.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:51.579)
Visit soupbeansurvival.com.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:54.579)
How do you think soup is spelled?
Unknown Speaker (00:55:57.579)
I've got to, here's what bothers me. Here's what bothers me. I think all of you agreed with me.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:04.579)
We immediately went soupbean, beans for soup.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:09.579)
None of us went, oh, they just couldn't be bothered to add an R to superbean.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:15.579)
Or they couldn't get the URL. Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:18.579)
It is actually soup, S-O-U-P.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:21.579)
Oh, okay. All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:22.579)
That's somehow still worse.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:25.579)
What kind of an idiot would name something soupbean? Oh, God.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:29.579)
The only way to survive is a soupbean.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:31.579)
Soupbean survival.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:33.579)
So if you go to their website, you'll find that it's a guy named Bill, who's one of the characters in that commercial.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:38.579)
Naturally. Who wants to sell you beans.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:40.579)
Are they grocery store beans?
Unknown Speaker (00:56:43.579)
Fuck you. No. They are totally grocery store beans.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:45.579)
He is so serious about these beans.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:48.579)
Nobody would have asked that question if the answer weren't yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:52.579)
They're getting ahead of it.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:54.579)
So...
Unknown Speaker (00:56:56.579)
Did you fuck that goat? Who said I fucked the goat?
Unknown Speaker (00:56:59.579)
Come on.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:01.579)
So they found a magical bean that is almost extinct.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:05.579)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:07.579)
It's only grown in the Sacramento Valley by a mysterious farmer who Bill has dubbed the bean doctor.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:22.579)
The bean doctor.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:24.579)
It doesn't matter where you are or what time there is. There's always a doctor group.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:30.579)
There's always a put a little Ebola in your drink.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:33.579)
There's always a fucking guy who's like, I'm going to heal your dumb asses all day.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:39.579)
With a magic bean.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:41.579)
Jesus Christ. Hold on to that Ebola curer, because he might come up later.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:44.579)
God dammit that. Health Ranger!
Unknown Speaker (00:57:46.579)
So here's a description of the bean doctor from the soupbean website.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:52.579)
Quote, the bean doctor is not a traditional farmer.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:57.579)
What?
Unknown Speaker (00:57:59.579)
He's a little quirky, a little secretive, and he only grows rare heirloom beans.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:06.579)
He isn't just a farmer. He's also a historian, anthropologist, an explorer all rolled into one.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:13.579)
He's the Indiana Jones of beans.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:15.579)
Show him a bean he's never seen before and he's excited as if he'd won the Powerball lottery.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:22.579)
This is a guy who is pumped about beans.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:25.579)
He's into beans. I'm getting it. I'm getting it.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:28.579)
But you might be asking yourself, who am I to prepare these types of rare beans?
Unknown Speaker (00:58:32.579)
I wasn't asking myself that at all.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:34.579)
I'm no chef. I can't handle these rare beans.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:37.579)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:39.579)
On the website, quote, and don't make the mistake of assuming because these are rare beans they require fancy preparation.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:45.579)
Oh, thank you. My first question was do these rare beans require fancy preparation?
Unknown Speaker (00:58:50.579)
They don't.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:52.579)
Great. Good news. My second question was, is this entire thing fucking fake and are these grocery store beans?
Unknown Speaker (00:58:57.579)
Fuck you, man. They're not grocery store beans.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:59.579)
All right. Well, I'm glad that they don't require any special preparation.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:02.579)
So every year the lineup of beans changed.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:06.579)
That's so crazy.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:08.579)
In 2011, here is some of the lineup of beans you could get from soup beans.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:13.579)
Oh, gods.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:15.579)
The Christmas Lima bean. Lima bean.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:16.579)
Quote, this bean is nothing like the Lima beans your mother made you eat.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:22.579)
So, so, so it's exactly like the Lima beans.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:26.579)
It's similar. Another one is the Hutterite soup bean.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:30.579)
The Hutterite soup bean.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:32.579)
The Hutterite, Hutterite, whatever.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:34.579)
Quote, this bean isn't much to look at, but don't let the dull appearance fool you.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:39.579)
What beans are much to look at?
Unknown Speaker (00:59:41.579)
This is a shabby bean.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:42.579)
What, what beans are like, Oh, hello.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:47.579)
Another one. Another one. Jacob's cattle.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:50.579)
That green bean is long. All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:53.579)
That's suggestive.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:55.579)
Okay. Okay. A little thin for my taste, but who knows?
Unknown Speaker (00:59:57.579)
So we've got Jacob's cattle.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:59.579)
Quote, the origin of this heirloom bean is somewhat of a mystery.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:03.579)
Some historians claim the bean came from Prince Edward Island.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:07.579)
Others claim German settlers brought the bean to the Americas in the 1700s.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:12.579)
There are very different things to claim that it's almost like it doesn't matter what anybody claims.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:18.579)
No matter how it got here, we're just glad it did.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:22.579)
Cause it's a great bean.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:25.579)
I spent so long being obsessed with beans, preparing this episode.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:30.579)
I want to say that when I, uh, one of my closest friends from the early days of comedy, uh, I'm delighted to shout about Matt Elfre.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:38.579)
One of the things that he did, he's, he's a big fan of absurdist comedy, but one of the things he did that was just for us is he made a website that was about logs and it was a log blog.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:51.579)
And at the end of every blog about a log, it would just say, overall, a very satisfying log.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:57.579)
And it made, it was for four people.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:00.579)
And every time he blogged about a log, we laughed our balls off.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:03.579)
It's fantastic because do you know what? At the end of the day, overall, it was a very satisfying log.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:10.579)
That's how it is for me and beans.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:13.579)
Exactly. Yeah, no, I'm, I'm finally entering the episode from a genuine place.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:19.579)
There was another bean called the goat's eye bean.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:21.579)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:23.579)
Quote, gray with a dark stripe. It's true to its name. This bean really does look like the eye of a goat.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:29.579)
It doesn't sound great. It doesn't sound appetizing.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:31.579)
I don't want to eat goat eyes.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:34.579)
So, uh, we move along into the episode and Alex gets preoccupied thinking about secret science programs.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:42.579)
Sure. Well, I mean, that's wise.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:44.579)
Government's doing all kinds of crazy shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:46.579)
They're always doing crazy shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:48.579)
Military industrial complex has developed with their unlimited trillions of US taxpayer money.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:58.579)
A lot of super science.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:01.579)
He uses a science fiction term.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:04.579)
Captain America.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:06.579)
They created artificial suns 30 years ago. They created black holes 20 years ago.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:11.579)
Boring!
Unknown Speaker (01:02:13.579)
Japanese for the first time make a black hole, you know, three years ago.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:17.579)
The singularity boo!
Unknown Speaker (01:02:19.579)
The DARPA test decades ago.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:21.579)
They have done incredible things in cyclotrons and superconducting super colliders.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:27.579)
There has been a 60 year deep base program that's admitted, but the details aren't known.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:34.579)
I've gotten some pieces of that from military personnel and others.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:38.579)
It's very credible.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:42.579)
Are they grocery store beans?
Unknown Speaker (01:02:45.579)
Fuck you.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:46.579)
There's a lot going on we don't know, but we have examples of the SR-71 Blackbird in service in the mid fifties.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:54.579)
They're saying it's the fastest plane in the world still today.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:57.579)
Does anyone really believe that?
Unknown Speaker (01:02:59.579)
Well, it's not.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:01.579)
It's the fastest manned air-fed engine plane.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:06.579)
He's acting like other innovation didn't happen.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:09.579)
It's crazy.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:11.579)
I mean, I respect everything that you're saying, but like, okay.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:14.579)
If you're a physicist who gives a shit about what a black hole is, the idea of just being like,
Unknown Speaker (01:03:20.579)
eh, we've made a black hole before, and they're lying about how fast that plane was,
Unknown Speaker (01:03:24.579)
is way not understanding the importance of a black hole.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:29.579)
I feel like there were, I think I've run into like a couple black hole since.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:35.579)
Space and time have inverted at a single point and we'll never know what is or isn't real.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:40.579)
But anyways, this plane is slow?
Unknown Speaker (01:03:42.579)
Bullshit!
Unknown Speaker (01:03:44.579)
So Alex brings this stuff up and he's very lucky because he goes to calls
Unknown Speaker (01:03:50.579)
and he gets a call pretty quickly from a guy who used to work at Area 52.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:58.579)
I worked at Area 52 in Nevada about the 30-90s.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:02.579)
And the rumors were that there was Star Trek type technology that was being suppressed.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:07.579)
You know, I think I saw the Aurora in the 70s actually fly over my head one night.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:13.579)
Maybe.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:15.579)
Area 51 or 52?
Unknown Speaker (01:04:18.579)
I worked at 52. I was right next to 51.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:21.579)
And, you know, first there'd be lots of rumors flying around about what was going on at 51.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:29.579)
And, you know, like I said, it was Star Trek type technology, holographic technology,
Unknown Speaker (01:04:33.579)
and all kinds of things that they were...
Unknown Speaker (01:04:34.579)
Well, we know they've got that and have been testing it where they can project flying saucers,
Unknown Speaker (01:04:38.579)
Buddha, Mohammed Christ, whatever they want.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:41.579)
That much has been admitted.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:43.579)
And now we have the New York Times and others calling for a fake alien invasion to unify the world.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:49.579)
Yeah. No, that was the comic book The Watchmen.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:52.579)
No, no, it's New York Times.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:54.579)
No, that was the comic book The Watchmen.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:56.579)
They finished getting us, you know, interested in the war in Iraq
Unknown Speaker (01:05:00.579)
and then they're like, we need a fake alien invasion.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:02.579)
Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:05.579)
And I think I want to express this and I think we should all truly be jealous of it.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:09.579)
Because none of us will ever know that true fear in the moment of going like,
Unknown Speaker (01:05:14.579)
I worked at Area 52 and just hoping to keep going.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:18.579)
Right? Like, can you imagine just like the moment of just going,
Unknown Speaker (01:05:22.579)
I worked next door and then continuing. What?
Unknown Speaker (01:05:26.579)
And I've seen some planes, but like I don't really know much.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:30.579)
I've just heard talk. That's all he has. He's just heard things.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:33.579)
I'm very modestly lying to you right now about pretend magic.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:38.579)
Yeah. So this caller is not very important,
Unknown Speaker (01:05:42.579)
but it sets the stage for something that I think is monumental.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:48.579)
I have never seen on Alex's show before and I thought had never happened.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:53.579)
Alex is talking to this caller and then pulls his dad into the studio.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:00.579)
You know, it's funny. I was talking about my dad just getting back from vacation in Montana.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:10.579)
Mainly after looking at fossils and going to dinosaur digs.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:13.579)
And then I go out of the studio and he had to drop some stuff off.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:18.579)
I forgot at his house this weekend. I was over there for my grandmother's birthday.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:24.579)
And so I drug my dad in here. Now he didn't want to be on camera.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:27.579)
He didn't want to actually be in there. I actually physically grabbed him
Unknown Speaker (01:06:30.579)
down on the scene. Yeah. I buy that.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:33.579)
I did not realize that there was an interview with his dad.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:38.579)
I thought he'd never given it up. Wasn't that the height of like Bam Margera's popularity?
Unknown Speaker (01:06:43.579)
When he was like beating up his dad. Everybody on MTV was like breaking into their dad's place
Unknown Speaker (01:06:48.579)
and like ripping him out of bed at night and being like, ah, you shouldn't have had children.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:52.579)
Wasn't that the life that we all lived at the time? I'm pretty sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:06:56.579)
Yeah. Alex kicked down his dad's door while he was sleeping,
Unknown Speaker (01:06:58.579)
yelled at him with a bullhorn and threw Beyond Tangy Tangerine on him.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:03.579)
Police state three! Yep. Which is not a joke. Nope.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:08.579)
So Alex's dad was doing a dinosaur dig? Yep. Which kind of makes sense because he's a dentist.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:17.579)
And dinosaurs had teeth.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:19.579)
Can't get out of that logic. I mean I can't dispute it. Yep. On a one to one level.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:31.579)
So Alex's dad has seen some alien stuff maybe. Sure. Who fucking knows?
Unknown Speaker (01:07:36.579)
The most he's going to talk about on the show though is that he saw that blackbird SR-71, the fastest plane.
Unknown Speaker (01:07:44.579)
Bullshit. Not that fast. Black holes are gay. Back when he was...
Unknown Speaker (01:07:49.579)
Sorry, this was that time period. Tell us your experiences. Like once when we were six, seven years old,
Unknown Speaker (01:07:56.579)
we were driving back from East Texas on 45. We looked out the window and flying low were three things that looked like super stealth fighters,
Unknown Speaker (01:08:03.579)
but more advanced than anything you've seen today. Almost like a stealth SR-71, but they were like gray and looked like something out of a science fiction movie.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:12.579)
When you were a kid you saw the blackbird there in East Texas, but tell folks about both those experiences,
Unknown Speaker (01:08:20.579)
but also what you just saw in Wyoming or was it Montana?
Unknown Speaker (01:08:23.579)
Well it was in northern Wyoming, not far from Montana, but in Freestone and Leon County they used to do a lot of testing.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:30.579)
They would drop chaff out of airplanes and everything and one time I was early morning walking up to our school
Unknown Speaker (01:08:35.579)
and all of a sudden a delta winged airplane that was black went over, looked like 50 feet over the building with a sonic boom.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:45.579)
And at that time I wanted to be the first kid on the moon and I drew pictures of it and it literally was the blackbird
Unknown Speaker (01:08:52.579)
and so lord knows what they have now.
Unknown Speaker (01:08:55.579)
How cute is this dude? He wanted to be the first kid on the moon.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:00.579)
Not the first person on the moon, not the first adult. He wanted to be a kid on the moon.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:06.579)
I wanted to join Peter Pan on the North Star and get all the way to the moon.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:11.579)
Because of that blackbird. Because of that blackbird. Oh that's beautiful. That is very beautiful.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:16.579)
So anyway, he's a Nazi. It's unfortunate.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:20.579)
There we go. Yeah, I knew it.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:23.579)
Yeah, I'm... Look, there's no way around it.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:25.579)
I wanted to be the first kid on the moon but then I wasn't! Nein! Nein!
Unknown Speaker (01:09:32.579)
I wanted to be the first... There will never be another child on the moon!
Unknown Speaker (01:09:37.579)
I wanted to be the first kid on the moon to reunite with the Nazis that have a base on the dark side.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:43.579)
I wanted to join my people. It was a Nazi phone home is what we're saying.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:49.579)
I think that's where we're at.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:50.579)
So they talk a bit about how the globalists want to reduce the population and all that.
Unknown Speaker (01:09:57.579)
And they don't think that it's worth doing. They don't think the globalists need to be doing that.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:03.579)
And that there's plenty of space. We're not overpopulated.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:06.579)
Then they say something dumb.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:08.579)
We are just barely utilizing the potential...
Unknown Speaker (01:10:12.579)
Well humans are like fish. We stay in little reef areas. That's where commerce is.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:16.579)
And so we tend to congregate so people have this false illusion that we're overpopulated.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:23.579)
Well it's just like people saying that cows are a problem with global warming due to methane.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:29.579)
I think if someone did a study there's probably less commercial animals alive now than when the buffalo's roamed.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:34.579)
It'd be a very interesting study to do.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:36.579)
I think they've actually done a study around the same number of buffalo they believe in that work cows now.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:41.579)
It doesn't matter. There's always been creatures running around passing gas.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:43.579)
And they sell us on the fact that we've got to pay Al Gore money or the cow farts are going to kill us.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:49.579)
That sounds ludicrous but there's truth to it.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:52.579)
Yep. Yep.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:54.579)
That is a great Alex's dad line.
Unknown Speaker (01:10:56.579)
Yep. That sounds ludicrous but there's truth to it.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:00.579)
Stop humor in your stupid kid.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:04.579)
So Alex thinks that they've done a study and found that there's as many cows around now as there were buffalo back in the day.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:10.579)
They did a study. Who did that study and who paid for it?
Unknown Speaker (01:11:13.579)
No one.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:15.579)
But someone did do a study and there's so many more cows alive now than-
Unknown Speaker (01:11:20.579)
Obviously!
Unknown Speaker (01:11:22.579)
A very conservative estimate would put the US population of domestic cows at over double the amount of wild cattle that ever lived in North America.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:29.579)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:31.579)
Add that to the amount of livestock that are raised in other parts of the world where buffalo and bison weren't native and you have increases in these populations of like a hundred times.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:37.579)
Yeah. And then of course you have the Stegosaurus steaks from the Flintstones. Those should also count. Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:43.579)
These guys are supposed to know stuff and be like Texas cattle dudes.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:48.579)
So the idea that they can think that there are like less cows in 2011 than before factory farming is fucking stupid.
Unknown Speaker (01:11:55.579)
Also the idea of being like, there were more commercial bison back then.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:00.579)
What- from what commerce are we talking about?
Unknown Speaker (01:12:04.579)
Well commerce is like fish.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:07.579)
That really should have been- there are some things that should be met with like an automatic gigantic hand slap hit you in the face where you're just like, oh yeah, people are like fish in a reef.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:18.579)
Wham!
Unknown Speaker (01:12:20.579)
It's a commerce system. Yeah, exactly. That makes sense.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:23.579)
So, um, they- I think basically through this appearance I figured out why Alex's dad doesn't want to be on his show much.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:31.579)
And that is because he might be dumb.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:33.579)
That sounds ludicrous, but there is truth to it.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:37.579)
No, that doesn't deserve it, but I'll take it.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:45.579)
So Alex's dad and Alex, they, uh, they only have a little short time on the show together. So Alex dragged him in there.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:53.579)
And it ends with Alex making a promise.
Unknown Speaker (01:12:57.579)
Where I live in the country, all the animals are coming to my house because we're irrigated.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:01.579)
I have like 50 turkeys in the backyard.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:02.579)
You ought to hear him when he's getting fights over a worm or something. You ever heard of turkey fight?
Unknown Speaker (01:13:07.579)
Yeah, I have. Nothing more frightening than a raccoon fight.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:11.579)
That's right, you got a bunch of them bringing your house together.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:13.579)
Yes, I have 11 visitors.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:15.579)
Because it's so horrible, you're an evil human. Dad, I love you, I'm gonna try to give you even more grandkids.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:20.579)
That's what makes the globalist laugh. We'll be right back.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:23.579)
We're on the march. The empire's on the run.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:26.579)
I'm gonna give you more kids, I'm gonna fuck more.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:29.579)
It's a very, it's a very different tone than his like, I killed your kids.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:36.579)
Yeah, absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:38.579)
I have committed abortion, get out of my house.
Unknown Speaker (01:13:40.579)
I mean, it feels weird that I'm, what I'm hearing is that their main conversational overlap is like, what type of animals do you think are crazy when they fight?
Unknown Speaker (01:13:51.579)
For me, it's turkey, but for you, it's raccoon. What else do we got to say? I don't know, I'm gonna give you more kids? Wow.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:00.579)
I'm old fashioned. I think any two animals fighting is pretty interesting and scary.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:11.579)
If it's mismatched, then I'm super uncomfortable watching. But if it's, you know, animals about the same size, then I'm scared.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:19.579)
You know, here's an interesting, this is a thing that I hadn't considered before. We have all grown up in an era of unlikely animal friends being something that we just have access to.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:30.579)
Like sometimes you can just go on the internet and be like, that crow and that hippo are friends? The world is great! Right? But these people didn't have that.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:39.579)
They just had, let's watch turkeys fight or fuck. That's all we've got.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:43.579)
That's where Alex's dad comes from. That and wanting to be the first little boy on the moon. It's an innocence that bred Nazi shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:14:54.579)
So Alex's dad coming on, I honestly thought this is like groundbreaking stuff. And what a git for a music festival. Like that's a headliner. You got Alex's dad in the studio?
Unknown Speaker (01:15:07.579)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a lot like getting Charles Manson at Woodstock. Yeah. It's a lot like that.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:15.579)
So I had to come down after experiencing this and thankfully there's a commercial that can help us do that.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:21.579)
I lost 20 pounds. I lost 40 pounds. I lost 55 pounds. I went from a size 14 to a size 8.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:29.579)
Their secret is Ambiren, the revolutionary formula for women over 40 that balances hormones naturally. The leading cause of weight gain over 40 is hormonal imbalance.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:40.579)
Until you balance your hormones, losing weight can be practically impossible. But Ambiren restores hormonal balance naturally. So the weight can just fall right off, even that stubborn belly fat.
Unknown Speaker (01:15:50.579)
Plus, Ambiren eliminates other symptoms of hormonal aging like hot flashes, night sweats, low libido, difficulty concentrating and more. Be one of the first 50 callers right now and they'll send you a complimentary risk-free trial with a 30-day supply.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:06.579)
What you just heard is legitimately a crime.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:09.579)
I was about to say, all of that, one of my favorite things to do is to, right now I like to study perimenopause because my wife is going through it.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:18.579)
So it's always fun to just be like, hey, surprise. I know about stuff, right? Why not? Surprise.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:25.579)
So I do like listening to commercials like that because I'm like, nope, nope. No, no way. No chance. Nothing can do that shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:34.579)
That commercial cost the company $40 million.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:39.579)
That sounds right. Thank you, Dan.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:44.579)
I didn't file the suit. The makers of Ambiren were sued by the Federal Trade Commission in 2015 over reported false claims that their supplement could help women lose weight.
Unknown Speaker (01:16:55.579)
They had no evidence to back up these claims. So they were forced to stop lying to customers and made quote, subject to a $40 million judgment, all but 250,000 of which will be suspended based on their inability to pay.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:12.579)
We would fuck you guys up, but you're broke.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:16.579)
Yeah, you're too broke to pay the $40 million. Problem solves itself. Stop doing this.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:20.579)
We would be meaner to you, but you failed.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:24.579)
You're not even good at lying.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:26.579)
It's really interesting to go back and listen to this stuff because you'll see that the people who were paying him ad revenue back then were mostly Nazis and health fraud.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:35.579)
And now the people who he supports politically are pretty much Nazis and health fraud.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:40.579)
Yeah. Yeah. Which is probably a coincidence. I don't know if there's a line between these things.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:49.579)
Thank you.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:50.579)
So, um, Alex talks a little bit about a high school memory.
Unknown Speaker (01:17:56.579)
Sure. And we've already learned in this episode. Too much about his past.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:00.579)
He stole beer and should have been shot at the country club. 100%. When he was 13.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:05.579)
And in this clip, I learned another important thing. And that is that he went to high school for five years.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:11.579)
Every other country has immigration controls but us. We're a joke. We're a joke. The country is collapsing.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:18.579)
Okay. That's all I have to say on the subject. And you heard the Hispanic American guy earlier, you know, say, no, I admit it.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:24.579)
It's massive amounts of Hispanics are like La Raza get the gringo. Okay, well, let's just get it out in the open.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:30.579)
Point is, I'm not going to sit here and play along with this game that the government foundations didn't engineer this in the universities and high schools.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:37.579)
It was taught where I was. I went to Anderson for two years here in Austin.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:41.579)
I was taught white people are evil by the white teachers. This is Lori Conquista. The Hispanics will get you. The whites are evil.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:48.579)
I was taken to the University of Texas in art class and taught by their one of their Chicano studies guys that America was bad and then I was bad.
Unknown Speaker (01:18:56.579)
And I said, I don't agree with this. Mexico had its own atrocities and problems and new history.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:00.579)
And they totally freaked out at a meeting and came up and said, how do you know history? And who are you?
Unknown Speaker (01:19:05.579)
And it was like they found a leprechaun or something that I was 18 years old. I was in high school five years.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:11.579)
Didn't really go the first year. I'm going to shut up now because Mike Adams is here.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:14.579)
Yeah, Mike Adams is here. That's a lot. That's a lot to take in.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:19.579)
That was a journey to go on. That was a journey of increasingly makes me believe you lessable things.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:28.579)
Just every little addition to that. I was there for five years like, ah, you fucker.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:36.579)
So this art teacher was telling you that you're bad because you're white.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:41.579)
They had a meeting.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:42.579)
No, because they were scared.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:45.579)
Let me try it. So in this, like you can just say they had a meeting, but from what I understand, based upon him saying, you know, Mexican people did stuff.
Unknown Speaker (01:19:55.579)
People in power got together and were like, holy shit, this fucking kid, he found a book.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:02.579)
He found a fucking book. Where did he fucking find that shit?
Unknown Speaker (01:20:06.579)
Convene the board.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:08.579)
Get everybody together.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:10.579)
This is a crisis.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:12.579)
Put up the nerd signal. No, didn't work.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:16.579)
So, uh, I don't believe any of this and I'm not shooting on Alex for going to high school for five years. I dropped out of high school.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:23.579)
I'm not trying to like be a dick about that. It's just a piece of lore that we didn't know before.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:29.579)
And so I thought we'd add it to the compendium.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:32.579)
Add it into the things that may or may not be true and we'll never know the truth of.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:35.579)
Yeah. The rest of that clip I'm sure is not true.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:37.579)
No, absolutely not.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:38.579)
So one thing that is totally true is that Mike Adams is here.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:44.579)
Oh God. Oh, the health ranger.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:48.579)
The health ranger. He cured Ebola by putting Ebola in with some whiskey.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:54.579)
And uh, yeah, he's a, he's a real piece of shit. He sucks.
Unknown Speaker (01:20:58.579)
Um, but he's all about unity, right?
Unknown Speaker (01:21:02.579)
He thinks that all of their, their movements, they're not in competition with each other.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:08.579)
So that's the message that he wants to spread on this episode.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:12.579)
He wants people to stop thinking he's like the green ranger and start thinking he's like the white ranger.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:17.579)
Yes. Yes, exactly.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:19.579)
Alex's dad signed off on that.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:21.579)
And also it turns out Mike Adams isn't maybe a doctor. No, he's not. He's a blogger. He's a website guy.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:29.579)
And now he has a new career.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:31.579)
This is about Patriots, you know, banding together to put the truth out there.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:35.579)
There's no competition. It's total cooperation about informing people, educating people.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:41.579)
I mean, we cover more health and food freedom.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:43.579)
They're murdering people knowingly. These are cold-blooded handlers.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:46.579)
Exactly. Exactly. We all got to rise up and just play a role in this.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:50.579)
Whenever we are called to play a role, we got to jump on that end.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:53.579)
That's why you're getting into music. Let me tell you, you're talented.
Unknown Speaker (01:21:56.579)
My wife likes that genre of kind of pop rap and other people in the office and they say that's good.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:02.579)
I mean, I know that most of it tortures my ears.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:05.579)
I like some of the old school stuff, but yours, I actually enjoyed it.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:11.579)
Hey, thanks, man. Hey, thanks, man.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:13.579)
What a compliment. Mike Adams has started a musical career.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:19.579)
Yeah, I think he's probably going to, I think it's going to pay off.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:22.579)
Living in the future as we now do, I can see that it worked out.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:26.579)
Pop rap. Pop rap.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:28.579)
Stuff usually offends Alex's sensibilities.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:30.579)
You know, I can't help but compare that to our earlier Al Gore clip and just imagine hearing Al Gore be like,
Unknown Speaker (01:22:37.579)
well, you have to win the conversation. They're fucking murdering your family, aren't they right now?
Unknown Speaker (01:22:42.579)
Al Gore, your rapping's amazing.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:45.579)
Yeah, Al Gore's starting a rap career.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:47.579)
Hey, and most of the time that hurts my ears, but your stuff's pretty good. Hey, thanks, man.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:52.579)
If we went from Clinton's saxophone to Al Gore's bars, I think we would have a very different country.
Unknown Speaker (01:22:58.579)
Yeah. I think that is the case.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:01.579)
So I explored a lot of Mike Adams' music.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:14.579)
Most of the interview that he does is just about how he's discovered a new vaccine conspiracy.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:21.579)
Sure, sure, sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:23.579)
Let's hear some music.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:24.579)
Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:26.579)
This is a music festival. This is Portland, the anniversary of Vortex. Mike Adams is headlining.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:32.579)
Everybody put some Ebola in your hola!
Unknown Speaker (01:23:39.579)
So the first song I'm going to play for you, we're not going to listen to these songs in completion because they are a disaster.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:46.579)
We couldn't afford the rights.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:48.579)
We don't want to get sued by the Rangers.
Unknown Speaker (01:23:50.579)
Well, it's interesting you say that because this one should get him sued by a good friend of mine, Carly Rae Jepsen.
Unknown Speaker (01:24:20.579)
Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-
Unknown Speaker (01:24:50.579)
You can take VersCollege campus of 80 minimum and get aApart from here 32. Ada University LCU University Apparently Got Awards for twelve thousand dollars for the first time ever Oh JEEEEEEREEEREE for... Atlas NEW
Unknown Speaker (01:24:56.180)
FAfrican and for out of Hi XD
Unknown Speaker (01:24:59.399)
alert
Unknown Speaker (01:25:01.699)
Do you know what...
Unknown Speaker (01:25:03.140)
Do you know what? No no No!
Unknown Speaker (01:25:05.140)
Here's what... Here is what we all need to remember
Unknown Speaker (01:25:07.140)
What we all need to remember is that we have, we are living through terrible times
Unknown Speaker (01:25:10.319)
But imagine this
Unknown Speaker (01:25:11.720)
Imagine Hitler doing a remix of gangnam style
Unknown Speaker (01:25:14.680)
Right?
Unknown Speaker (01:25:15.159)
Like...
Unknown Speaker (01:25:16.079)
at least we skipped over the part that Hitler is like
Unknown Speaker (01:25:18.600)
Yeah! Gangnam style! You know, like, that's better. That's better.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:22.199)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:22.699)
Jesus Christ.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:24.000)
But it happened, and now we all have to deal with it.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:27.199)
And now we all have to have that in our minds. We're all gonna go home. Like that.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:31.399)
So yeah, that was like, uh, trying to shoot on unemployed people and say they're dumb and lazy.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:35.600)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:36.399)
Which is cool. It's a cool message.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:40.399)
So we got another song.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:42.399)
I think it says moral superiority. Quite like making a parody song about people maybe being lazy somewhere else.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:50.399)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:51.399)
Waking up too late.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:53.399)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:53.899)
Come on.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:54.399)
Oh my God.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:55.399)
So when we flew here from Chicago.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:57.399)
We did.
Unknown Speaker (01:25:58.399)
And we went through the TSA.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:01.399)
Yes we did.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:02.399)
And everything. And I did not have the experience of anyone feeling up my, you know, grabbing me.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:08.399)
No.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:08.899)
I didn't get shaken down.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:10.399)
Not this time.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:10.899)
But here is a song about how you can't do that.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:13.899)
Uh oh.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:40.899)
Don't touch my junk. Don't touch my junk. I'll have you arrested.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:45.899)
Don't touch my junk. Don't touch my junk.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:48.899)
It's Saint Joseph's daily love.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:51.899)
Don't touch my junk.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:54.899)
My man junk.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:58.899)
That's good stuff.
Unknown Speaker (01:26:59.899)
Sometimes I like to imagine Q-tips killing people.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:02.899)
I don't know why I've thought of that immediately.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:05.899)
But I don't think hip-hop would be appreciative of that.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:09.899)
Usually this sort of music hurts Alex's ears. But this shit is legit.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:13.899)
Don't.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:14.899)
Mmm.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:15.899)
This is so good.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:16.899)
Don't touch my junk. Don't touch my junk.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:19.899)
My man junk.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:20.899)
Which kind of junk though?
Unknown Speaker (01:27:21.899)
Man junk.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:22.899)
Ah, that's the worst kind.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:23.899)
He was gonna miss his flight.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:24.899)
Don't touch it.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:25.899)
Don't touch his junk.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:26.899)
Don't touch his junk.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:27.899)
If I have one piece of advice to give everyone here in Portland.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:30.899)
You see Mike Adams, don't touch his junk.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:33.899)
He made a song about it.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:34.899)
And he literally wrote the song on it.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:37.899)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:38.899)
So I listen to a lot of his music.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:41.899)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:42.899)
And I only thought it would be appropriate to subject people to three songs.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:46.899)
Because at a certain point we're really risking this being too much of an indulgence.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:54.899)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:55.899)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:27:56.899)
So he's trying to say that he's doing a socially conscious pop rap kind of project.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:02.899)
That's what he's trying to say.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:04.899)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:05.899)
With what he has created for us, if you look back and he says, look at what I've made for you.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:10.899)
That's what you're supposed to conclude he did.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:12.899)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:13.899)
And it's like the dumb and lazy is like, hey, get a job.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:16.899)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:17.899)
Like, right.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:18.899)
Help me.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:19.899)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:20.899)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:21.899)
Don't touch my junk is about the TSA.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:23.899)
Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:24.899)
It's important.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:25.899)
But he also made songs that are just kind of sad love songs.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:30.899)
So this is a song that he did called, I just want you to know my name.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:34.899)
No.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:35.899)
This is a real bummer.
Unknown Speaker (01:28:37.899)
Oh, God.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:04.899)
Oh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:05.899)
I really want to say the words, the words.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:08.899)
They always slip away.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:10.899)
Once you sign on, it's hard to tell me.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:14.899)
Tell me.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:15.899)
I'll tell you.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:16.899)
I could only find the words to say to you.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:21.899)
It's almost baffling.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:23.899)
You.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:24.899)
So the truth is still afraid to talk to you.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:28.899)
He's afraid to talk to somebody.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:31.899)
That's the song.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:32.899)
It's a love six song of like, I just want you to know my name.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:36.899)
He's married.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:38.899)
He's the health Ranger.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:41.899)
What are you doing?
Unknown Speaker (01:29:44.899)
Get away from me.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:48.899)
So I feel like he made that to like identify with his teenage daughter, and I don't feel
Unknown Speaker (01:29:55.899)
comfortable about any of that.
Unknown Speaker (01:29:58.899)
So the real question is, I guess, what is more painful for you?
Unknown Speaker (01:30:01.899)
Would it be that love song or don't touch my job?
Unknown Speaker (01:30:04.899)
What do you think has less artistic boy?
Unknown Speaker (01:30:06.899)
I was thinking that don't touch my junk was a low, but little did you know it was a high
Unknown Speaker (01:30:14.899)
point that feels like a like if I'm walking by somewhere and I hear some of that, I'm
Unknown Speaker (01:30:21.899)
like, oh, well, that's clearly a true crime documentary that's happening in the background.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:26.899)
The only explanation for that is later on.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:28.899)
There was a murder, so I'll just leave that behind.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:33.899)
I think that these all went platinum.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:36.899)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:38.899)
So there's plenty more where that came from.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:40.899)
And if you want to look for more of his music, it's all out there.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:44.899)
And there's a couple of songs that he did that are straight up attempts at being blink
Unknown Speaker (01:30:49.899)
one 82s, Adam's song.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:52.899)
He has multiple songs about how you shouldn't kill yourself, which is weird proportion.
Unknown Speaker (01:30:57.899)
Really?
Unknown Speaker (01:30:58.899)
Because he hasn't done that many songs.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:01.899)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:02.899)
You know, sometimes sometimes you you're like, OK, I've got a handle on what these guys are.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:07.899)
And then you hear a little bit more about them and you're like, maybe aliens are real.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:12.899)
Is that what my problem is?
Unknown Speaker (01:31:13.899)
Is that like I just haven't opened my imagination up enough to the Nazis also being like, man,
Unknown Speaker (01:31:18.899)
I really got to get my feelings out.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:20.899)
You know what?
Unknown Speaker (01:31:21.899)
It makes me think.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:23.899)
Alex's dad might have been the first kid on the moon.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:28.899)
What if he brought some aliens back?
Unknown Speaker (01:31:30.899)
That would make sense.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:32.899)
So, yeah, his music sucks.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:33.899)
And it's really funny, though, because he is trying.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:37.899)
He like that is not something that felt genuine.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:39.899)
No, that felt heartfelt.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:41.899)
That was that was real.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:42.899)
Again, it's clear that he laid down like multiple tracks of vocals.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:46.899)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:47.899)
And he probably wanted this album to move.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:49.899)
You wanted to get a Grammy.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:50.899)
I have no doubt he had a conversation with somebody where he was like, I know, but I feel like my voice is there.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:58.899)
Like I'm hitting my range.
Unknown Speaker (01:31:59.899)
I just had a really shocked face that some of you might have noticed.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:03.899)
And it's because I think we could get Mike Adams to E-God.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:09.899)
If we force it, we can get him an Oscar.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:13.899)
He's got to be in some documentary.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:14.899)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:15.899)
Well, police day four is not a joke.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:17.899)
I don't think he's in.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:18.899)
That's definitely true.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:20.899)
The Tony might be hard.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:22.899)
What musical vaccine?
Unknown Speaker (01:32:25.899)
The musical Wicked for Bad.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:28.899)
How I cured Ebola.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:30.899)
The musical.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:33.899)
RFK Junior hero.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:37.899)
So we actually only have one last clip for folks.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:42.899)
It's because, you know, we've we've come to the I love all of you so much.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:47.899)
So confusing.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:49.899)
I love all of you so much.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:52.899)
I don't we don't deserve you.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:54.899)
We just don't.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:55.899)
So we're doing a music festival here on day two.
Unknown Speaker (01:32:59.899)
We just got a hell of a musical.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:01.899)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:02.899)
And so now all there really is time left to do is thank the sponsors.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:07.899)
Do a little bit of advertising.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:09.899)
Apologize for trapping you on an island.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:11.899)
Alex has a commercial here that he's doing for info wars team, which is their multi level marketing scheme that they used to.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:20.899)
There are some details in here that I would call into question.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:23.899)
Oh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:25.899)
There are limitless ways to go into business for yourself.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:28.899)
Probably involve substantial capital and risk.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:31.899)
Our info worst team dot com operation is different.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:35.899)
We promote premium quality health, energy and skin care products using dynamic, caring personalities and state of the art media technology to spread a powerful message of health, wealth, longevity and freedom.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:48.899)
This low cost business opportunity is designed for full time or part time so you can work as little or as much as you like.
Unknown Speaker (01:33:55.899)
It is you that defines the reward level, whether you are seeking a few hundred extra dollars per month or a six or even seven figure annual income.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:04.899)
It's up to you.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:05.899)
What the fuck are you talking about?
Unknown Speaker (01:34:07.899)
A seven figure income, a seven figure income from info wars.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:14.899)
Oh my God.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:15.899)
Do you know what's crazy?
Unknown Speaker (01:34:16.899)
So so what you're saying is that there is somebody out there who's like, holy shit, I made so much more money than info wars today.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:24.899)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:25.899)
Fucking I blew info wars out of the fucking park with info wars today.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:30.899)
If you're making a seven figure income as a sales person for info wars team, then like, why isn't Alex doing that?
Unknown Speaker (01:34:38.899)
Alex works for you.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:41.899)
He's accidentally revealing that he has a seven figure salary from this and all of those.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:47.899)
Oh my God.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:48.899)
That's that's balls.
Unknown Speaker (01:34:50.899)
You know, you know, sometimes when you hear it out loud with a group of several hundred people, you think that might be too good to be true.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:00.899)
I think that one might be that might be over selling a little bit.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:04.899)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:05.899)
I'm trying to lure you into being an active part of my multi level marketing.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:08.899)
See, but I'm too hot.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:10.899)
It's too much.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:11.899)
Would you like to make so much money but not do anything?
Unknown Speaker (01:35:16.899)
Don't we all?
Unknown Speaker (01:35:17.899)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:18.899)
I went to a Cutco presentation when I was younger.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:21.899)
They're trying to get me to sell their knives.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:23.899)
They didn't tell me I was going to be a millionaire.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:26.899)
They were like, you could afford a suit.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:28.899)
Listen, buddy.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:29.899)
At the end of the day, you're still selling knives.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:32.899)
Come on.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:33.899)
Get out of here.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:34.899)
Your family won't like you and you'll have too many knives.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:38.899)
Do you do you want to alienate friends but also have sharp things around you at all the time?
Unknown Speaker (01:35:46.899)
Got just the solution.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:47.899)
Do you want to be extremely lonely and surrounded by blades?
Unknown Speaker (01:35:53.899)
And probably in a couple of years, get a weird pet.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:57.899)
Because you need something else for the personality.
Unknown Speaker (01:35:59.899)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:00.899)
So much like a lot of music festivals, you might leave before the whole thing comes to an end.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:07.899)
Because after about two days, you just want to go home.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:10.899)
Traffic is going to be harsh if you leave at the same time as everybody else.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:13.899)
So eventually Alex launches the InfoWars Nightly News and that's a couple of days later.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:19.899)
But who gives a shit?
Unknown Speaker (01:36:20.899)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:21.899)
So how do you feel?
Unknown Speaker (01:36:23.899)
How do you feel about what you've learned and been presented with today?
Unknown Speaker (01:36:27.899)
How do I feel overall?
Unknown Speaker (01:36:31.899)
You got a lot of steps in.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:32.899)
I'll say that for sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:34.899)
This has been a, I would say, complete performance.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:40.899)
We've had a full variety show.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:42.899)
We've had music.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:43.899)
We've had Alex's dad.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:46.899)
We've had Nazis of all shapes and colors.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:50.899)
We've had colorful Portland history.
Unknown Speaker (01:36:53.899)
And then somehow we ended it all with a guy who was like,
Unknown Speaker (01:37:00.899)
come on, just drink a little Ebola.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:02.899)
Don't touch my junk.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:05.899)
Don't touch my junk.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:07.899)
That's the real message.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:09.899)
What an album.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:12.899)
I think if...
Unknown Speaker (01:37:15.899)
I mean, here's the crazy thing though.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:17.899)
That's the most progressive message he really has.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:20.899)
That's really what he's got.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:21.899)
I agree with it.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:23.899)
Don't touch my junk.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:24.899)
Fair enough.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:26.899)
So we're coming to the end of our show here.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:30.899)
I'd like to, before we end, give a big round of applause for everybody here at the theater.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:36.899)
Thank you so much.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:37.899)
Here at Aladdin, it's been so wonderful.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:39.899)
This has just been an absolute treat.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:41.899)
The crew, the security, the staff, everybody has been truly amazing.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:44.899)
This has been an amazing weekend.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:46.899)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:47.899)
Thank you so much for Portland.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:48.899)
And thank you all so much for coming.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:50.899)
This has been an absolute dream.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:52.899)
Thank you.
Unknown Speaker (01:37:53.899)
Thank you so much.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:07.899)
Thank you.
Unknown Speaker (01:38:37.899)
Thank you.
