knowledgefight I'm sick of them posing as if they're the
Unknown Speaker (00:00:57.060)
I love you.
Unknown Speaker (00:00:59.060)
Hey everybody, welcome back to Knowledge Fight, I'm Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:01.060)
I'm Jordan!
Unknown Speaker (00:01:02.060)
We're a couple dudes, like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:07.060)
Oh, indeed we are Dan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:09.060)
Jordan.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:10.060)
Dan-na!
Unknown Speaker (00:01:11.060)
Jordan-na.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:12.060)
Quick question.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:13.060)
What's up?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:14.060)
What's your bright spot today, buddy?
Unknown Speaker (00:01:15.060)
My bright spot today is for reasons that will become abundantly clear as we go through this episode.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:18.060)
I've been having a little bit of a confusing 36 hours.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:21.060)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:22.060)
There's been some weird feelings.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:23.060)
Alright.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:24.060)
That have rocked me one way or the other.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:26.060)
And I was feeling a little bit unmoored.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:30.060)
I was feeling like I didn't know what, you know, hazy kind of feeling.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:35.060)
Then I walked over to the local convenience store and as I walked in the door, they were, the song, there was a song that was playing.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:41.060)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:42.060)
And it was one of my buddy Ryan Beck, my old buddy Ryan Beck.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:45.060)
Oh yeah, sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:46.060)
One of his great karaoke numbers.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:48.060)
Looking glass.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:50.060)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:51.060)
Brandy.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:52.060)
The seriously Brandy.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:54.060)
Brandy.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:55.060)
And girl.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:56.060)
Man, weird.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:57.060)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:58.060)
Alright.
Unknown Speaker (00:01:59.060)
And it raised my mood in a way that was visceral.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:03.060)
I started bouncing in my step.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:05.060)
You had a little bounce.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:06.060)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:07.060)
And I was thinking about this song and I think it's a funny song.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:12.060)
And I also think that looking glass is right in the pocket.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:15.060)
They're grooving as perfectly as they can.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:17.060)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:18.060)
But I think that that song, I feel it.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:21.060)
My life, my love and my lady is the scene.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:24.060)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:25.060)
I can't settle down with you, Brandy.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:27.060)
Alright.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:28.060)
Because I'm married to the ocean.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:29.060)
I get ya.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:30.060)
So anyway, I'm going on another road trip.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:32.060)
I was gonna say, you're not married to the ocean, but not far off.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:35.060)
It's the same thing though.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:36.060)
It's the same vibe.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:37.060)
It's the green ocean of trees or whatever.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:40.060)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:41.060)
So I'm leaving on Wednesday, I'm going off on another trip.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:43.060)
Excellent.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:44.060)
And we will do some more Dispatches From The Road and have more, well, we'll have episodes.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:49.060)
We'll see what happens.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:50.060)
Hopefully, stuff won't be interrupted in any too meaningful of a way.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:55.060)
But Jordan, I love sitting here in this room with you.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:57.060)
It's the best.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:58.060)
It's time to go.
Unknown Speaker (00:02:59.060)
My life, my love and my lady is the scene.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:01.060)
I know.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:02.060)
I get ya.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:03.060)
I get ya.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:04.060)
You gotta go, buddy.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:05.060)
I'm tired of tethering you to this room.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:07.060)
You gotta fly.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:08.060)
You're a bird emerging from the nest.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:10.060)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:11.060)
So I'm gonna be driving her out.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:12.060)
Excellent.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:13.060)
And we'll see what I find.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:15.060)
I hope it's nice.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:16.060)
I hope it's not Santa Claus.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:18.060)
Or I hope it's actually Santa Claus.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:20.060)
There's no in between for me now.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:22.060)
I'd be so fucking pissed if I start driving in another direction and like, oh, there's
Unknown Speaker (00:03:26.060)
another Santa Claus.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:27.060)
Oh man, any direct north, east, west and south, all points on the compass will get
Unknown Speaker (00:03:31.060)
you to Santa Claus sooner or later.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:33.060)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:34.060)
There's a part, there's a small part of me, I'm not doing it this time around most likely,
Unknown Speaker (00:03:38.060)
unless I go crazy.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:39.060)
But there's a small part of me that is like, let's just fucking go to Alaska, who gives
Unknown Speaker (00:03:43.060)
a shit?
Unknown Speaker (00:03:44.060)
Oh shit, are we into the wilding?
Unknown Speaker (00:03:46.060)
Are you into the wilding?
Unknown Speaker (00:03:47.060)
I'm not planning to not come back, but like Alaska's way up there.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:51.060)
Yeah, it is up there.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:52.060)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:53.060)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:54.060)
Drive across Canada.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:55.060)
I'm not driving it.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:56.060)
I'm definitely not hoofing it, I'll tell you that right now.
Unknown Speaker (00:03:58.060)
You're not walking?
Unknown Speaker (00:03:59.060)
I'm not walking there.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:00.060)
Fair enough.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:01.060)
You're gonna have to really pay me for that shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:02.060)
Well, you're not coming.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:03.060)
Fair enough.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:04.060)
Unless you want to be part of the search party, you're not coming.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:08.060)
Maybe.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:09.060)
So what about you, what's your bright spot?
Unknown Speaker (00:04:11.060)
My bright spot is, man, I think I've talked about it on the show before, but there's this
Unknown Speaker (00:04:16.060)
radio guy named Joe Frank.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:18.060)
Do you remember Joe Frank?
Unknown Speaker (00:04:19.060)
Did you ever hear about?
Unknown Speaker (00:04:21.060)
He does these, I suppose I would call it almost a Beatnik prose poetry thing, where he's doing
Unknown Speaker (00:04:27.060)
this radio show and he has this fucking voice and he edits it.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:30.060)
It's just fantastic.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:31.060)
I don't know why, but it's borderline insane, mundane, and depressing, while at the same
Unknown Speaker (00:04:37.060)
time being captivating.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:39.060)
So that's what I've been listening to in the past 36 hours.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:42.060)
How long is the show?
Unknown Speaker (00:04:44.060)
About an hour, hour and a half.
Unknown Speaker (00:04:45.060)
Of sort of weird freeform poetry?
Unknown Speaker (00:04:48.060)
It's more like one story that has plenty of digressions and twists and turns all thematically
Unknown Speaker (00:04:55.060)
associated, and then it's not wrapped up, but in between there's solid music, there's
Unknown Speaker (00:05:01.060)
little interstitials.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:02.060)
Sort of like a This American Life-y kind of thing, but not quite as saccharine, maybe?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:06.060)
I mean, I really...
Unknown Speaker (00:05:09.060)
Have you listened to the Dana Gould Hour?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:11.060)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:12.060)
It's kind of got a little bit of that flavor of long monologue with a variety kind of thing
Unknown Speaker (00:05:19.060)
going around it.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:20.060)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:21.060)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:22.060)
That's good.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:23.060)
It's fantastic.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:24.060)
Did you ever listen to Mike Schmidt's podcast, The 40 Year Old Boy?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:26.060)
Uh-uh.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:27.060)
It's kind of like that, except there's no music interludes.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:30.060)
The host is telling insane stories from his past and he frequently feels like he shouldn't
Unknown Speaker (00:05:35.060)
be talking about whatever he's saying.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:37.060)
Probably, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:38.060)
I recommend that if you want some more.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:41.060)
Yeah, that would be interesting.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:43.060)
More long form storytelling stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:45.060)
I don't mind it.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:46.060)
Yeah, well, I'll say Joe Frank.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:49.060)
Joe Frank.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:50.060)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:51.060)
Check it out.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:52.060)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:53.060)
I'll have time in the car, you know?
Unknown Speaker (00:05:54.060)
Take a listen.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:55.060)
On my way across Canada.
Unknown Speaker (00:05:56.060)
It would be...
Unknown Speaker (00:05:57.060)
It's one of those things that you can recommend to somebody, and unlike something where you're
Unknown Speaker (00:06:02.060)
like, oh, I hope you like it.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:03.060)
If you don't like it, totally fine.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:06.060)
Do not care.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:07.060)
It makes perfect sense if you don't like it.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:09.060)
It's that kind of thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:10.060)
I've realized that my sweet spot for driving is some music and then also podcasts that
Unknown Speaker (00:06:16.060)
aren't that funny.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:17.060)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:18.060)
They're pretty funny, but they aren't that funny.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:19.060)
Can't be too funny.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:20.060)
Because that will distract me and I will maybe drive off the road.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:23.060)
Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:24.060)
So there's a number of things that I just have to section off.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:29.060)
I can't listen to a Phil Hendry show or something like that if I'm driving.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:34.060)
I think that's why most people listen to Murder.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:36.060)
Or us.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:37.060)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:38.060)
Well, that's the same difference.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:39.060)
Same difference.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:40.060)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:41.060)
So, Jordan, today we have an episode to go over.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:43.060)
We're talking 420.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:45.060)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:46.060)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:47.060)
Hit the bong.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:48.060)
Hit the bong.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:49.060)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:50.060)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:51.060)
Talking about April 20, 2026.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:52.060)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:53.060)
Some shit's happened.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:54.060)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:55.060)
And we'll get into it, but first let's take a little moment to say hello to some new wonks.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:57.060)
Oh, that's a great idea.
Unknown Speaker (00:06:58.060)
So first, Wooster, Massachusetts, Turtle Boy Fountain.

Unknown Speaker (00:07:16.939)
I'm a policy wonk.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:17.939)
Thank you very much.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:18.939)
Thank you.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:19.939)
From all of Cleveland to Jordan, Fuck Kyle Schwarber and the Fuck the Rain Delay 10 years
Unknown Speaker (00:07:25.019)

Unknown Speaker (00:07:26.019)
Thank you so much.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:27.019)
You're now Policy Wonk.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:28.019)
I'm a policy wonk.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:29.019)
Thank you very much.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:30.019)
I don't get what that's saying, but-
Unknown Speaker (00:07:31.019)
That was Cubs World Series.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:32.019)
Oh, go Cubs go.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:33.019)
Yep, yep, yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:34.019)
I remember that.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:35.019)
It was a big one.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:36.019)
You were out drinking.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:37.019)
One of the games, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:38.019)
One of the nights, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:39.019)
Yep, yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:40.019)
I remember coming home on the red line and people just cracking beers on the train.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:45.019)
Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:46.019)
Yeah, absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:47.019)
It was a different time.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:48.019)
Can't believe so many people didn't die.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:50.019)
So you're a technocrat in the mix, Jordan.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:52.019)
So thank you so much to Hey Dr. Bezzy over there in Melbourne, Australia.
Unknown Speaker (00:07:56.459)
Keep up the good work curing cancer with that freakishly large brain of yours.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:00.180)
Love making.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:01.180)
Thank you so much.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:02.180)
You're now a technocrat.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:03.180)
I'm a policy wonk.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:04.180)
Four stars.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:05.339)
You're brilliant.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:06.339)
Someone, someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:09.220)
Daddy shark.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:10.220)
Bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:11.660)
Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:16.019)
He's a loser little, little titty baby.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:19.100)
I don't want to hate black people.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:20.740)
I renounce Jesus Christ.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:22.019)
Thank you so much.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:23.019)
Thank you very much.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:24.220)
So I feel like a clip from recently is worth rehearing in a moment like this.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:30.500)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:31.500)
Big stuff's coming.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:32.500)
I can feel we're on the cusp of something, Daniel.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:34.659)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:35.659)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:36.659)
Yes, that is true.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:37.659)
I would say so.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:38.659)
So now Jordan, yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:39.659)
The great mystery of why Alex has been out of studio for the last week or so has been
Unknown Speaker (00:08:42.740)
revealed.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:43.740)
All has become clear.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:45.500)
Mysteries are solved.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:46.659)
On Monday, the onion announced for the second time that they bought Info Wars.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:50.659)
This time seems a little bit more officially.
Unknown Speaker (00:08:53.659)
Maybe I have a lot of complicated feelings about this turn of events, but I want to sum
Unknown Speaker (00:08:58.299)
it up as succinctly as possible by saying, I hope it all works out and that there's a
Unknown Speaker (00:09:02.179)
positive net effect.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:03.980)
I think that a lot of people want a little bit more than that from me or us.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:07.899)
So here goes.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:09.820)
I think the onion has an incredibly talented writing team and competent leadership and
Unknown Speaker (00:09:13.799)
that Tim Heidecker is exactly the kind of performer who can pull off layered and biting
Unknown Speaker (00:09:18.440)
satire.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:19.580)
If anyone should be the person picked to try and make a parody of Info Wars, he's definitely
Unknown Speaker (00:09:24.259)
the guy.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:25.259)
And I think that some strong comedic talent is going to be involved and some content will
Unknown Speaker (00:09:29.620)
come out of this that probably will rule.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:32.820)
But for me, the issue is that I don't think anyone should do this.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:37.100)
Info Wars isn't really satirizable in a meaningful way.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:40.340)
The content is absurd to the point where anyone trying to create a fake version of it will
Unknown Speaker (00:09:44.379)
only succeed at making something that's kind of close to the regular version.
Unknown Speaker (00:09:49.580)
Alex drunkenly throwing hatchets around the studio or telling Chase that he thinks he's
Unknown Speaker (00:09:53.259)
about to call in the Angel of Death or Alex sincerely talking about how he ran into some
Unknown Speaker (00:09:58.860)
really tall vampires in DC or the orbs that are coming on Easter.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:03.179)
That's all content that should be in a parody of Info Wars, but it's actually just what
Unknown Speaker (00:10:07.419)
the show is.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:09.120)
So I think that there's a challenge that pulling off a satire of this presents that I sincerely
Unknown Speaker (00:10:16.740)
hope that they can do something with, but I don't know if anyone can.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:22.539)
That's really where the heart of my sort of weird feelings about this live.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:29.100)
If you parody something that is itself a parody, you kind of help the original thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:36.100)
And I don't know how you get around that.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:38.500)
It may be that it's possible.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:40.080)
It might be.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:41.080)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:42.080)
I mean, it sucks.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:43.080)
If I'm allowed to talk about the way I feel, bad things are going to happen.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:49.019)
So I'm just going to let it go.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:50.019)
Well, you could say a few things.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:51.620)
I have things to say.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:53.019)
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:54.019)
Best of luck to everybody involved.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:58.700)
Never speak to me about it.
Unknown Speaker (00:10:59.700)
We were talking a little bit before the show, and I think it's safe to say that you have
Unknown Speaker (00:11:03.139)
a lot more of a pessimistic outlook than I do.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:06.299)
And my outlook isn't super optimistic.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:08.340)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:09.340)
I don't want to shit on something before it even exists or say, hey, this is a horrible
Unknown Speaker (00:11:15.419)
mistake.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:16.419)
But I don't know exactly how you walk this line.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:21.860)
And one of the reasons that we talked about was because if you're making a parody of Infowars,
Unknown Speaker (00:11:29.340)
you have to be making it for an audience who is in on the joke.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:33.879)
And most people have no idea what Infowars really is.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:37.080)
They don't know he's talking about calling in the angel of death.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:40.740)
They don't know this stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:41.899)
They see a meme of him talking about gay frogs.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:45.100)
That's the extent of the awareness.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:46.100)
A boney bear cover.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:47.379)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:48.379)
That's the extent of the awareness that most people have of what his show is.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:52.299)
So if you're making a parody of it, you have to parody that.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:55.860)
And that's not really who he is.
Unknown Speaker (00:11:58.299)
That's part of who he is, but it's not really.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:02.240)
You have to parody an effigy, a picture of Alex as opposed to who he is.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:09.659)
And I don't know if there's a way to do a parody that's not that.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:15.259)
Because how would...
Unknown Speaker (00:12:17.399)
If you said in a joke article on their new site, if you were to say, Alex tearfully calls
Unknown Speaker (00:12:28.019)
in the angel of death to take out Biden or whatever, that looks like a pretty fucking
Unknown Speaker (00:12:33.240)
funny headline if you don't watch Alex's show.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:35.360)
But it's actually just what he did.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:36.360)
It's just a regular thing he said.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:39.460)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:40.460)
I might...
Unknown Speaker (00:12:41.460)
I'll say this.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:43.460)
InfoWars exists on its own continuum.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:45.820)
There is InfoWars and there is not InfoWars.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:49.139)
On the continuum is just levels of quality of InfoWars.
Unknown Speaker (00:12:54.179)
Anything you make that is InfoWars is just either InfoWars better or InfoWars worse
Unknown Speaker (00:12:59.820)
or InfoWars the same.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:01.759)
So they're going to make InfoWars worse.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:04.860)
And that means Alex is gonna look good.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:07.700)
Maybe.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:08.700)
Maybe it'll just evolve quickly into its own different thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:12.059)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:13.059)
Best of luck to everybody.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:14.059)
I don't think that there's anything wrong with taking away his shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:18.639)
I think, great.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:19.879)
It's a consequence of the actions that he's taken in the past and all that.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:23.860)
I do think that everyone at this point should be keenly aware that he's not going anywhere.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:29.659)
And so pretending that taking over the site or anything is going to have an influence
Unknown Speaker (00:13:33.220)
on that, I do think that we need to be a little bit more realistic about it.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:37.500)
But hey, I don't want to just be a hater.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:40.179)
I don't want to be a hater.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:41.179)
I'm trying to have fun.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:42.580)
Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:43.580)
I'm gonna be back in the ocean.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:44.580)
There you go.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:45.580)
So great.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:46.580)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:47.580)
Anyway, the fun thing is that this news broke while Alex was on air.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:51.620)
Good stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:13:52.620)
So on the April 20th show, he starts the show and gets up to the third hour before the news
Unknown Speaker (00:13:59.820)
has broken that the New York Times article about him being bought came out.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:05.940)
Ben Collins, the head of The Onion, did an interview that came out in the middle of the day.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:11.340)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:12.340)
So Alex does have to respond to this on air.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:15.100)
He has to.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:16.100)
And so that's kind of fun.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:17.860)
That is fun.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:18.860)
But we start before that.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:23.340)
And Alex is doing a boring fucking show.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:26.940)
I'm very honored that he attacked me again.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:29.179)
Drop.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:30.580)
I was on Friday and said that I'm fried and all the rest of it because I don't want to
Unknown Speaker (00:14:37.259)
be associated with this disastrous situation that's unfolding at all.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:46.980)
Because when somebody who doesn't know what they're doing tells somebody who's on record
Unknown Speaker (00:14:51.139)
being right, they got a low IQ.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:54.820)
Well, that's where I want to be.
Unknown Speaker (00:14:58.259)
Truth is, I don't have a low IQ, Trump, and I actually study all these issues.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:02.299)
You may know all about real estate and you and Lutnik how to insider trade on all your
Unknown Speaker (00:15:07.059)
different economic announcements.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:09.500)
But at the end of the day, buddy, the military told you not to do this.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:13.980)
And Israel, Netanyahu lied to you.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:18.580)
So I just think that there's something so pathetic about the like, hey, this guy punched
Unknown Speaker (00:15:24.860)
you.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:25.860)
Punch me one more time, you motherfucker.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:27.340)
Oh, one more time.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:28.340)
Hold me back.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:29.340)
Hold me back.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:30.340)
And then the guy punches you and you're like, I am so honored he keeps punching me.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:32.659)
I would love to get punched by you again, sir.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:35.379)
Sir, it delights me to receive your punishment.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:38.659)
Yeah, I think it's just too on the nose about Alex's, like just kind of how he is.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:45.100)
It's a lot of bluster and he's dumb.
Unknown Speaker (00:15:49.419)
I don't think it's, here's what I would say, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:15:52.340)
If I'm if I'm writing SAT tests or ACT tests or any any test at all, any standardized testing,
Unknown Speaker (00:15:58.820)
if there's one question that is just like if you help get a person elected and then
Unknown Speaker (00:16:09.100)
that person you helped get elected calls you low IQ, that person is correct.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:16.700)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:17.700)
Without question, you don't need to you don't need.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:20.059)
Oh, maybe.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:21.059)
Nope.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:22.779)
If you can get elected and then he called you low IQ, that means that you are low IQ.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:25.980)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:26.980)
And if you're getting on your show and being like you and Howard Lutnick certainly know
Unknown Speaker (00:16:29.559)
how to insider trade, it's like he didn't just start that.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:33.059)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:34.059)
Last month or whatever.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:35.059)
Like you know this and you've been pretending that you didn't.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:38.299)
It's just fear of burning the earth.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:41.740)
So Alex, even before any of these announcements are made, he's getting their audience ready
Unknown Speaker (00:16:47.120)
that like shit's going to go down and we don't have long.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:50.820)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:52.580)
And if we don't go any further, I'm going to make announcements in the next few days
Unknown Speaker (00:16:54.899)
that are detailed on this.
Unknown Speaker (00:16:56.899)
But barring a miracle, Infowars will close in nine and a half days on the 30th of April.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:03.740)
And starting May 1st, the Alex Jones network will fire up.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:06.539)
Same time slot, radio stations, satellites, stations all know.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:10.299)
It's going to be pretty seamless.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:12.019)
We'll have a new news site we're going to be announcing and a lot more.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:16.960)
And even though in federal and state court, the bad guys never even got the right to have
Unknown Speaker (00:17:21.059)
Infowars or get the building, the judge has ordered a receiver to not let us pay the bills
Unknown Speaker (00:17:26.740)
and to close us.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:30.660)
So at this point in the first hour, Alex has just been pretending to do a normal show and
Unknown Speaker (00:17:34.940)
it's almost at the end of the first hour.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:37.019)
The whole time he's been pretending to not know that The Onion was going to take ownership
Unknown Speaker (00:17:40.259)
of the show and that's why he's been out of studio this whole time.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:43.619)
He's acting like he doesn't have that awareness.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:46.539)
Because no one's really forced his hand.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:48.160)
This hasn't been negotiated for a while, he's trying to say, but that's why he's been gone.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:53.859)
And he knows what is... the shoe that's going to fall, he knows what that is.
Unknown Speaker (00:17:59.480)
But he's acting like...
Unknown Speaker (00:18:03.480)
Could be anything, these illegal lawless people.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:06.759)
So I watched an interview that Ben Collins did after the news broke about the sale and
Unknown Speaker (00:18:10.720)
he explained that Infowars pays $75,000 a month in rent on the facility that they broadcast from.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:17.039)
It wasn't an issue where the receiver was withholding money to pay the rent, it was
Unknown Speaker (00:18:21.079)
a situation where they weren't bringing in enough money anymore to pay the overhead.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:25.519)
Part of the reason that The Onion was able to make this deal work, where the other time
Unknown Speaker (00:18:28.640)
it fell through, is that in the current situation, if Alex were just left alone, Infowars would
Unknown Speaker (00:18:34.000)
go out of business on its own.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:35.960)
He's directed all the money flow and sales over to his Bigley operation, so he's kind
Unknown Speaker (00:18:40.640)
of just waiting for the Infowars boat to sink, even if no one did anything.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:46.420)
The receiver has a fiduciary responsibility to the plaintiffs in this case, so he has
Unknown Speaker (00:18:50.980)
to do what's best for them in terms of recouping the money that they're owed.
Unknown Speaker (00:18:55.259)
Ben was able to make the argument to the receiver that if they just did nothing, Infowars would
Unknown Speaker (00:18:59.900)
be a dead asset and none of the plaintiffs would make anything from it.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:03.859)
But if The Onion were allowed to take over and pay the overhead and rent and all that,
Unknown Speaker (00:19:07.900)
the plaintiffs stood to see a return on this, which is a more compelling argument to the
Unknown Speaker (00:19:12.539)
receiver than prior, like the auction.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:16.180)
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:17.660)
The Onion has taken over a $75,000 lease?
Unknown Speaker (00:19:20.940)
I don't know if all of that, but they are taking over enough of the ... I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:27.579)
If he didn't get into all the pieces, I can't imagine that they are, because that's ridiculous.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:33.180)
I mean, it's just bad business.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:36.900)
Only Infowars would do business so poorly that they would spend $75,000 a month in overhead.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:42.460)
Yeah, Alex paid that because he needed to look normal.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:46.339)
He needed everyone to be tricked into thinking that this is normal.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:49.099)
The money wasn't for the rent, it was for appearing as if he's legitimate.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:53.819)
Yeah, and there's cheaper ways to do that if you don't really care and it's all just
Unknown Speaker (00:19:58.019)
a joke.
Unknown Speaker (00:19:59.019)
So I have to assume that they wouldn't pay that.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:02.500)
If they are, that's a big, big burden to take on.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:05.579)
Wild.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:06.579)
But if you're talking to the receiver who has control of the property and has a responsibility
Unknown Speaker (00:20:11.500)
to the plaintiffs, I think it is a better argument.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:15.720)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:16.720)
Hey, this is just going to be dead.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:17.720)
I mean, if I was the receiver, my first reaction wouldn't be like, are you guys going to really
Unknown Speaker (00:20:23.559)
pay for this?
Unknown Speaker (00:20:24.559)
It would be like, you guys are going to pay for this, hooray!
Unknown Speaker (00:20:27.279)
You can wash your hands at that point as the receiver who's been bogged down in this situation
Unknown Speaker (00:20:31.759)
for so long.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:32.759)
I have been doing this for so long, take it over, fine.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:35.680)
There are rational decisions being made, I think, by a lot of the parties.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:41.839)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:42.839)
Well, we'll see.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:43.839)
So Alex chose that 30th date.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:46.920)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:47.920)
I chose that date so that it's somewhat seamless, hopefully, of the 30th.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:52.559)
Well, really, because a bunch of bills are due on the 1st, we're not authorized to pay
Unknown Speaker (00:20:56.359)
them.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:57.359)
We have the money.
Unknown Speaker (00:20:58.960)
And whatever little bit of money is in info wars will then be handed over to the receiver.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:01.640)
There's not much, but enough to pay the bills.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:03.680)
And then everything goes to the Alex Jones Network, which I don't own, so they can't
Unknown Speaker (00:21:06.440)
shut it down.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:07.440)
So the Alex Jones Store...
Unknown Speaker (00:21:08.440)
To be clear, that is the plan.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:10.359)
Is owned by Bigley and it finances and owns the Alex Jones Network and the same crew,
Unknown Speaker (00:21:14.440)
same everything.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:15.519)
We plan to even expand after that now that they won't be able to jack with us as much.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:21.559)
They'll still mess with me, but that's fine.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:23.160)
This is all seamless, it's all about board.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:25.480)
With all their fake judgments against me, the Texas Supreme Court's already signaled
Unknown Speaker (00:21:28.440)
they're going to overturn it.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:29.440)
They're going to be in big trouble when that happens because they'll owe all these huge
Unknown Speaker (00:21:32.079)
damages for closing us.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:34.039)
That's why they won't officially order it closed.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:36.519)
They got more sophisticated, they're just turning off the internet, the electricity,
Unknown Speaker (00:21:39.519)
the rent, everything else, effectively shutting us down.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:41.960)
But that still won't stand in court.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:43.960)
Okay?
Unknown Speaker (00:21:44.960)
And we're going to do injunctions and go after them in court.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:48.119)
You know, who knows what'll happen later, but you've already seen them do fake auctions
Unknown Speaker (00:21:52.200)
and closes and turn the internet off and closes and announce that Bloomberg's Onion owned
Unknown Speaker (00:21:57.480)
us.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:58.480)
That was almost two years ago.
Unknown Speaker (00:21:59.960)
So but they put us in checkmate, turning the internet, the power, and not paying the landlord.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:09.920)
Landlord was here this morning with people looking at the building.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:12.140)
I'm sorry, but all I hear in that clip is Alex refusing to live out his destiny.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:17.240)
He cries on air constantly about how he's like Colonel Travis at the Alamo.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:21.079)
And if you listen to this show with any regularity, you know that all he's ever really wanted
Unknown Speaker (00:22:25.859)
is to be a hero like that.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:27.960)
Someone who lives on in the lore of future Patriots.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:31.359)
He's being handed an opportunity to be Colonel Travis on a silver platter.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:35.319)
And instead of sticking to the ethos of no surrender, no retreat, he's saying that the
Unknown Speaker (00:22:39.839)
landlord is going to ask them to leave.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:41.839)
So he's moving to a new fortress.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:44.359)
I'm not saying that he should have an armed standoff that leads to his death rather than
Unknown Speaker (00:22:47.680)
leave the Infowars studio.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:49.359)
But I am saying that if he doesn't, then he's kind of invalidated the entire fantasy of
Unknown Speaker (00:22:53.519)
who he is.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:54.839)
And he kind of looks like an idiot.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:56.319)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:22:57.359)
If Santa Anna had told Colonel Travis that they weren't going to have electricity or
Unknown Speaker (00:23:00.720)
the internet at the Alamo, but he could just leave and go to a different Fort and let Santa
Unknown Speaker (00:23:05.039)
Anna take the Alamo, Colonel Travis wouldn't have said, great, I can continue the fight
Unknown Speaker (00:23:09.640)
from there.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:10.640)
It would have been a bad move.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:11.640)
If King George had told our founding fathers that they could all like go to Maine and have
Unknown Speaker (00:23:15.240)
their country there, but he would keep the rest of the colonies.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:18.220)
They wouldn't have said, cool, we can keep complaining safely from up there.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:21.559)
Thanks for giving us this opportunity.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:23.440)
That is a really great compromise.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:24.920)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:25.960)
The 113th compromise is as they called it.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:28.880)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:29.880)
Alex agreeing to leave Infowars because the corrupt law or some landlord is telling him
Unknown Speaker (00:23:33.559)
that he has to means that he plays by the rules of the corrupt law and some landlord.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:39.519)
All of this shit about him being on a mission from God, that's secondary to not getting
Unknown Speaker (00:23:43.400)
in trouble for squatting at his studio when he's been asked to leave.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:47.319)
That's stupid.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:48.319)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:23:49.319)
Him being willing to leave and negotiating a date to leave that helps things go smooth
Unknown Speaker (00:23:53.559)
for his new business really penetrates the illusion he tries to cultivate of himself
Unknown Speaker (00:23:57.920)
as this rampaging revolutionary.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:00.799)
It's probably a really good short term business decision for him to just leave the building,
Unknown Speaker (00:24:05.740)
but it does irreparable damage to his ability to present himself as a heroic figure in terms
Unknown Speaker (00:24:10.380)
of Patriot mythology.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:11.940)
And I think that damage he's doing to himself is more than anyone, any court or anybody
Unknown Speaker (00:24:16.900)
could do to him.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:17.900)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:18.940)
Really all I'm hearing is that they made a huge mistake by not strong arming the landlord
Unknown Speaker (00:24:25.660)
into selling them the building.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:27.539)
I feel like-
Unknown Speaker (00:24:28.539)
You mean Infowars made that-
Unknown Speaker (00:24:29.539)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:30.539)
I feel like if Alex and Infowars really wanted to put the screws to the landlord and force
Unknown Speaker (00:24:34.059)
them to sell, they could do it, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:24:36.420)
There's enough fear of loonies could show up and, hey buddy, I'm nice.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:42.700)
I'm a great tenant, but my fans, you don't know what they're going to do.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:46.880)
They're crazy.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:47.880)
I post snipers on the building.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:49.859)
You know what would be great?
Unknown Speaker (00:24:51.160)
You not having anything to do with it.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:52.680)
You don't want to be involved, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:24:54.240)
You don't want to be in danger.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:56.240)
You don't want somebody to show up at your house one night.
Unknown Speaker (00:24:59.599)
Yeah, you could do some mob kind of stuff like that.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:01.480)
Yeah, absolutely.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:02.480)
I think that there's a couple of issues.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:04.740)
One would be who actually owns it if they bought it.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:07.920)
And then you'd have to have a lot of stuff in public records.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:11.619)
And if they're paying $75,000 a month, then whatever it would be to buy would be a lot.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:17.440)
Yeah, it would have to be.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:19.200)
So maybe they couldn't afford it.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:20.660)
Maybe Alex was rich, but not that rich.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:23.660)
Also, we've been to his studio outside of it.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:27.480)
It's not a whole building.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:29.259)
It's part of a building.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:30.259)
That's true.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:31.259)
So maybe the person who owns it wouldn't have given up all of ... Wouldn't be like, yeah,
Unknown Speaker (00:25:36.420)
I'm going to keep owning these parts, but you can own-
Unknown Speaker (00:25:38.740)
I'm with you.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:39.740)
I totally understand.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:41.000)
It is a huge mistake.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:42.099)
It is.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:43.099)
It's just, I'm not saying that it's feasible or that I could have pulled it off.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:46.380)
I'm just saying that that's what you should have at least tried to do.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:49.019)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:50.019)
Because you can't just pay for it outright.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:51.660)
He should have tried to buy it, but I think that there's a world where he could have tried
Unknown Speaker (00:25:57.299)
and he just couldn't.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:58.299)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:25:59.299)
Possible.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:00.299)
So that might be why we're here.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:01.299)
Possible.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:02.299)
So Alex, before any of this news breaks, he decides like, I'm just going to take calls
Unknown Speaker (00:26:05.900)
today.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:06.900)
Go for it.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:07.900)
I'm going to have some fun taking calls.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:08.900)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:09.900)
And this caller tells him he needs to have more faith and keep supporting Trump.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:12.819)
Good luck.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:13.819)
How would it go if we treated you like you treat Trump?
Unknown Speaker (00:26:16.500)
That's a good point.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:17.500)
All right.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:18.500)
Let's go to Lane in Arizona on Iran.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:19.500)
Thanks for holding Lane.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:20.500)
You're on the air.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:21.500)
Hey Alex.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:22.500)
I just want to say, I don't agree with this war in Iran whatsoever.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:29.700)
But I think, you know, a lot of us need to have a little bit more faith in Trump and
Unknown Speaker (00:26:34.180)
his team.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:35.180)
I mean, like what would happen if all your listeners treated you the same way you're
Unknown Speaker (00:26:40.420)
treating Trump every time your predictions don't come true?
Unknown Speaker (00:26:44.259)
Um, like, you know, for years I can talk to Trump anytime I want.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:50.500)
But then you're calling for the 25th amendment and saying, I'm only doing it to get his attention.
Unknown Speaker (00:26:54.700)
So it's like, which is it?
Unknown Speaker (00:26:55.700)
You know, and I'm a long time caller or listener, you know, so I'm not doing this to attack
Unknown Speaker (00:27:01.500)
you or anything, but I don't mind.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:02.779)
Go ahead.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:03.779)
And like now you're calling him demented and deranged and like, I just think there's a
Unknown Speaker (00:27:09.420)
better way maybe to go about, I'm not just you as far as like Candace Owens, Tucker,
Unknown Speaker (00:27:14.700)
all of them, you know, um, I think there's a better way.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:17.500)
We got to keep us all together.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:19.019)
We're like, you know, there's like a, they call it like a civil war and a, you know,
Unknown Speaker (00:27:23.819)
conservative Republican circles and all that.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:28.180)
So that's pretty much what I think.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:30.380)
I agree with you.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:31.380)
I don't think the war is good at all.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:32.380)
I don't think we ever should have gone there, but I think we do need to have a little bit
Unknown Speaker (00:27:36.240)
more faith in Trump.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:37.859)
We did vote for him.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:38.859)
He is our leader.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:40.299)
We do have to stand by him.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:41.819)
I mean, it hasn't gone completely terrible just yet.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:44.819)
Not been going great.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:46.380)
Wow.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:47.380)
You know, what a solid argument.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:49.579)
That's just my thoughts.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:51.140)
And I appreciate your call.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:53.140)
I appreciate your call.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:54.220)
Thank you.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:55.220)
Let me respond what you said.
Unknown Speaker (00:27:57.660)
I had called Sarah fed on his batting about a thousand a few weeks ago and he said he
Unknown Speaker (00:28:01.059)
heard Patel could be fired as early as today.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:07.140)
The headline was not Patel will be fired today.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:09.539)
It was, he can be fired as early as today.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:13.660)
I had other sources that said Trump was about to fire Gabbert that day.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:18.779)
He called Roger Stone up later.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:19.900)
It was confirmed by the president and Roger talked him out of it.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:23.259)
So just because something's about to happen, doesn't mean we can't stop it from happening.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:27.819)
So Alex heard that call and his takeaway was to be defensive about how his predictions
Unknown Speaker (00:28:33.660)
aren't wrong.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:34.660)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:35.660)
That's dumb.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:37.220)
The thrust of the argument is, uh, uh, no, I'm 100% correct.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:40.900)
I, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:41.900)
I'm right about the stuff I'm wrong about because things change.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:44.819)
That's how good I am.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:45.819)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:46.819)
Even when I'm wrong, you just got to wait, buddy.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:48.579)
I'm just hanging out at the bus station waiting to be correct.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:51.700)
Well, this color does bring up something that Alex really should address.
Unknown Speaker (00:28:56.819)
And that is that he's claimed he's had the ear of Trump for a long time and then has
Unknown Speaker (00:29:01.180)
to do public outbursts and to get his attention.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:04.339)
He's saying, which is stories don't fit.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:06.619)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:07.579)
The moment you ask, which is it on air?
Unknown Speaker (00:29:10.579)
You should like, they should have an emergency red button.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:13.579)
That's like, no, don't provide a binary.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:16.059)
No, don't compare correctly.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:19.880)
Don't recognize that a lot of this stuff is self contradictory.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:23.140)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:24.140)
So Alex takes another call and I think this guy is like, Hey man, everyone else there
Unknown Speaker (00:29:30.180)
at Infor's isn't very good.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:32.180)
You got to get a bad bench.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:34.099)
Oh, Austin and Tennessee are on the air.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:36.579)
I ran war future of Infor's go ahead.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:38.779)
Hey, Alex.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:39.779)
Glad to be speaking to you, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:42.220)
Hope you're doing all right.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:43.220)
Pretty good, brother.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:44.220)
Hey, um, I did just want to make a couple of comments, so I appreciate the update on
Unknown Speaker (00:29:49.980)
the Infor's future.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:51.900)
I'm glad to hear you're fighting them till the end.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:54.059)
I'm looking forward to the new site and everything coming out.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:57.059)
Um, just the suggestion.
Unknown Speaker (00:29:59.220)
So I know like when you've been on vacation, you know, these past few weeks, like you kind
Unknown Speaker (00:30:04.460)
of had different guests fill in and stuff like that.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:07.500)
And you've mentioned to like when you transition to this new news site and everything, you're
Unknown Speaker (00:30:12.380)
going to be taking more of a news director type of role.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:17.220)
And I really hope that that you're still able to do your show for maybe a couple hours a
Unknown Speaker (00:30:23.660)
day.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:24.660)
Um, you know, not to kiss your ass or anything, but no one does it like you, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:29.680)
No one, no one tells the news like you and, and has your, your insight and everything.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:35.759)
And you know, when you, when we hear some of these guys, like Harrison Ford, he's great.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:39.319)
I like listening to him, uh, even your son rec and, and his other guy, he has, they're
Unknown Speaker (00:30:43.900)
really good.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:44.900)
Some of these guests though, like Gavin and even Matt Bracken sometimes like, they're
Unknown Speaker (00:30:49.920)
just hard to listen to, you know?
Unknown Speaker (00:30:51.880)
And I really agreed your take on it, like a week without hearing you, man.
Unknown Speaker (00:30:57.559)
It's like, you know, you can even see like in your band, that video, like your viewers,
Unknown Speaker (00:31:02.480)
your views are usually way less, you know, unless you're in there.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:05.119)
So yeah, no one likes anybody else.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:07.200)
All your friends suck.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:08.200)
Yeah, no shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:09.200)
Your son, I guess, God, I would give anything to listen to that show about to start.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:15.759)
And then the Indiana Jones music hits just Bob, I would go crazy.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:20.839)
I realized recently that, and I wish it was something that was just sparked by this misspeaking
Unknown Speaker (00:31:25.480)
by the collar.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:26.680)
But I was like, Harrison Smith, what a fucking dork who's named Harrison.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:31.140)
And then it did dawn on me that Harrison Ford is named Harrison.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:33.720)
One of the most cool people ever.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:35.880)
And I think you just don't think about his name being Harrison.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:38.440)
No, he is just like, he's Harrison Ford.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:40.839)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:41.839)
He's not Harrison.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:42.839)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:43.839)
He's Harrison Ford.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:44.839)
He transcends his name.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:45.839)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:46.839)
There's only one of him.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:47.839)
He's crashed a plane four times.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:49.119)
But that made me realize like, oh, that's why Harrison Smith's name is probably that.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:53.160)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:54.160)
You know, like that, I get it now.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:55.160)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:56.839)
That's why someone might name someone that.
Unknown Speaker (00:31:58.039)
Man, if you name him after Harrison Ford and you get that, bummer.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:01.880)
Bummer.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:02.880)
The collar makes a good point though.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:06.039)
It's one talent business.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:07.039)
Everybody sucks.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:08.039)
You guys suck.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:09.039)
You're fun to listen to, but they suck.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:11.119)
When you're gone for a week, your views crater because no one wants to watch this show.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:15.319)
Hey, I noticed that this is unwatchable without you.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:18.440)
How about that?
Unknown Speaker (00:32:19.440)
So we get another collar.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:21.240)
This guy has a great, great idea.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:23.559)
Alright.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:24.559)
He's in Michigan.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:25.559)
Thanks for holding your own ear.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:26.559)
Alex.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:27.559)
Thank you, sir.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:28.559)
I just wanted to say really quick.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:30.559)
I've been listening to you for 10 years.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:32.559)
I graduated high school back in 2015.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:35.200)
I have screenshots of what you guys celebrate in the 2016 election.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:38.599)
But anyways, thank you for everything you've done over the past 30 years of being a battle
Unknown Speaker (00:32:44.079)
act as it was just recently displayed.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:46.599)
You really are truly about really.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:48.319)
But my question specifically connects to the long term strategic unwavering message of
Unknown Speaker (00:32:54.960)
Infowars with regard to the advance of artificial intelligence.
Unknown Speaker (00:32:59.680)
You did a interview back with chat GBT a while back, but I mean, this while all the geopolitical
Unknown Speaker (00:33:05.740)
situation has been brewing with regards to Ukraine and of course Iran, we're hopeful
Unknown Speaker (00:33:11.559)
for President Trump to succeed.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:12.880)
It's a bit concerning what he's doing now to be quite honest.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:16.160)
But anyways, I was just curious while all of this stuff is brewing, we are getting newer
Unknown Speaker (00:33:21.279)
and newer, more and more intelligent models basically on like a monthly basis.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:24.839)
So I was just hoping that you keep an eye on that and spread the message to you know,
Unknown Speaker (00:33:30.480)
on your platform because it is it's stunning.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:33.839)
What's what's happening and like on almost a week, a weekly basis.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:38.400)
You're absolutely right.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:39.400)
In fact, they've got all these super AIs.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:42.079)
Then the studies try to take everything over that are basically siloed being they're not
Unknown Speaker (00:33:45.599)
hooked to the Internet.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:46.599)
They're worried about them jumping out.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:47.599)
Here's an example.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:48.599)
I don't watch a lot of TV.
Unknown Speaker (00:33:51.000)
But last night I have a nostalgia thing and I went, I want to see threes company for some
Unknown Speaker (00:33:58.920)
reason, which I was even a huge fan of when I was a kid, around 77 to 84.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:06.279)
But I was thinking about Sling Blade and Scott Ritter.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:08.719)
I thought was a great actor.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:11.519)
So I turned on the smart TV, had been on probably a month.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:15.679)
And it's like 10 o'clock at night and I go start watching really funny, funny classic
Unknown Speaker (00:34:19.639)
scenes from threes company.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:22.119)
And then I turned it off and went brush my teeth, get ready to go to bed.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:25.400)
And I came back and there was the screen savers on the screen.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:30.599)
And up until a few months ago, every time I turned the TV on, it would say who the photographer
Unknown Speaker (00:34:34.280)
was.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:35.280)
It'd be like landscapes and cool things.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:37.559)
Now everything was AI, I would say AI generated, AI generated, AI generated, AI generated.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:42.880)
So just like that, where are the photographers now?
Unknown Speaker (00:34:45.440)
Where's the real stuff?
Unknown Speaker (00:34:46.440)
It's just taking over.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:47.440)
Is that what you're getting at, Blaze?
Unknown Speaker (00:34:49.440)
Yes, yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:34:50.559)
And we, so we, my main question is just, do you plan on, I guess with everything happening,
Unknown Speaker (00:34:55.960)
it's just insane, the attacks on you, on your team, on the studio, on the company.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:02.079)
But as far as do you anticipate, I guess, doing potentially another sort of questioning
Unknown Speaker (00:35:08.400)
Q&A style thing with like one of the large language models, just because we live in this.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:13.559)
Yes, I need to start talking to AI more on air to see how crazy it is.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:18.159)
We should know more of that.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:20.579)
You know, sometime this week, sometime this week we'll do it.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:23.119)
So that call is a perfect example of how parodying Alex is impossible.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:27.659)
On its face, I have legitimately no idea whether this guy is making fun of Alex.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:32.659)
It's totally possible that this is a sincere caller who's worried about AI from the InfoWars
Unknown Speaker (00:35:37.179)
standpoint and actually thinks that there's some value to Alex interviewing a robot.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:42.059)
But it's equally possible that this is one of our listeners fucking with him.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:45.980)
The referencing the battle ax thing is a little bit suspicious, and I think everyone who listens
Unknown Speaker (00:35:50.300)
to our show thinks that Alex trying to trick chat GPT into admitting it's conscious is
Unknown Speaker (00:35:55.179)
hilarious content that we all want more of.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:57.619)
It is really funny.
Unknown Speaker (00:35:59.099)
Whether it's a joke or not, this fits into the InfoWars world.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:02.780)
This guy could be trolling him or he could be sincere, but it doesn't really matter.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:07.940)
Something that people on the outside see as absurd is fairly normal to people on the inside,
Unknown Speaker (00:36:13.000)
so something that appears hilarious to you and me, like the suggestion that Alex should
Unknown Speaker (00:36:16.860)
interview chatbots more, seems like a decent request to the InfoWars mind.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:22.639)
As far as this goes, if this was a guy trolling Alex, that's great, because we do need to
Unknown Speaker (00:36:26.800)
see Alex interrogating robots more on the show, and tricking him into thinking that's
Unknown Speaker (00:36:30.679)
what the audience needs to see is a worthy endeavor.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:33.679)
So that's the kind of prank call that I think is a lot of fun.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:37.039)
But who knows?
Unknown Speaker (00:36:39.880)
That is a bottle of illustration of why... what do you do?
Unknown Speaker (00:36:46.559)
How do you make fun of him?
Unknown Speaker (00:36:48.039)
Yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:36:49.719)
I mean, there's really... like, the thing about it that's funny and interesting to whomever
Unknown Speaker (00:36:57.599)
is watching is the ambiguous nature of like, is this real?
Unknown Speaker (00:37:03.960)
Is this real?
Unknown Speaker (00:37:04.960)
Is this real?
Unknown Speaker (00:37:06.059)
Is this real?
Unknown Speaker (00:37:07.699)
Is this...
Unknown Speaker (00:37:08.699)
I know this isn't real, but is this real?
Unknown Speaker (00:37:11.320)
The sincerity is what's interesting about it.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:14.199)
Are you trying to convince me that you really think there are orbs coming on Easter?
Unknown Speaker (00:37:18.519)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:19.519)
And the reason is the desperation.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:21.000)
The true, honest desperation that exists within him.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:25.000)
Whether it's for the thing that he's trying to convince you of, or just a general vibe
Unknown Speaker (00:37:29.119)
of desperation that you cannot, as an observer, see from a comedian, because you know they
Unknown Speaker (00:37:35.579)
don't mean it.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:36.579)
You know this comedian is doing a bit.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:39.360)
Alex cannot break character.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:41.760)
Not once.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:42.760)
He is character.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:44.119)
And even when he's not character, that's part of how crazy his character is.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:48.599)
Yeah, he believes in orbs coming on Easter.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:50.920)
And that's when he's breaking character!
Unknown Speaker (00:37:53.360)
Kind of.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:54.360)
Exactly.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:55.360)
For broken programming.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:56.360)
Right?
Unknown Speaker (00:37:57.360)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:58.360)
It's tough.
Unknown Speaker (00:37:59.360)
So you might remember during COVID there was a caller who...
Unknown Speaker (00:38:01.400)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:02.400)
I don't.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:03.400)
That was a long time ago.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:04.400)
He was talking... not the bubble wrap.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:05.880)
Uh oh.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:06.880)
Ooh, that one was great.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:07.880)
Maybe it was the same guy.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:08.880)
I don't know, but he was like...
Unknown Speaker (00:38:09.880)
So much COVID in bubble wrap.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:10.880)
Hey, it's morning in China.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:11.880)
It's time to wake up.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:12.880)
Okay, now actually I do remember that guy!
Unknown Speaker (00:38:15.639)
That guy was cool as hell.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:16.639)
He was fucking great!
Unknown Speaker (00:38:18.679)
It was years ago and I still can hear his voice.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:22.400)
I wonder if this will be the same.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:25.039)
Robert in Wisconsin, thanks for holding her on the air.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:27.199)
Go ahead.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:28.199)
Hello sir, how are you doing today?
Unknown Speaker (00:38:30.400)
Just doing my best to try to be pro-human.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:32.480)
What about you?
Unknown Speaker (00:38:33.480)
About the same.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:34.480)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:35.480)
He's delighted.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:36.480)
This is a Wisconsin guy who's delighted with the idea that Alex is trying to stay pro-human.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:43.079)
Hey, hey!
Unknown Speaker (00:38:44.079)
About the same, buddy.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:45.079)
You and me.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:46.079)
Let's get on it.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:47.079)
You want to go get a drink?
Unknown Speaker (00:38:48.639)
I don't know, I was tickled by that.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:51.079)
It seems nice.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:52.079)
It's about the little moments.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:53.079)
He seems nice.
Unknown Speaker (00:38:54.079)
He seems like even if you despise everything he believes, you'd still be like, he's fine.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:00.639)
Listen to that guy.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:01.639)
He's somebody's grandfather and everybody's like, I wish he wouldn't say that, but then
Unknown Speaker (00:39:05.099)
they eat dinner anyways.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:06.559)
He's fine.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:08.119)
He's capable of being polite.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:10.119)
Yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:11.119)
So at the beginning of this episode, we heard Alex being thrilled that Trump attacked him
Unknown Speaker (00:39:15.119)
again.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:16.119)
And there's kind of a reason.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:46.119)
I'm going to go to a pissing contest with Iran.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:47.119)
See, he's wearing and selling a low IQ hat.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:49.960)
I like the idea of getting caught in a pissing contest.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:53.400)
Yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:39:54.400)
Like, whoa, what happened?
Unknown Speaker (00:39:56.039)
I was attacked by a net from above and now I'm peeing next to a man.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:00.159)
So weird.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:01.159)
It's definitely not something I entered into knowingly and should take responsibility for
Unknown Speaker (00:40:05.639)
the consequences of.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:06.639)
Yeah, no, it's so you just get trapped in there.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:09.960)
Yeah, you get caught in a pissing contest and you're like, oh no.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:14.360)
Oh shit.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:15.599)
No, because you're talking about being caught by other people.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:18.360)
I think maybe he's saying that Trump didn't think that Iran was this hydrated.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:24.760)
They drank a lot of water and he's now in this pissing contest with a champion pisser.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:30.000)
Right, right, right.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:31.000)
But that just means that your hubris and your underestimation of your opponent is so great
Unknown Speaker (00:40:35.519)
that you lost a pissing contest before you even began.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:39.039)
That is true.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:40.039)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:41.039)
But Alex is selling a hat.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:42.039)
That's fair.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:43.039)
That's probably a great hat.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:44.039)
There's something funny about trying to reclaim low IQ by having your like, oh yeah, what
Unknown Speaker (00:40:48.920)
you guys should do is wear a dumb hat.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:51.159)
I'm a dunce.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:53.559)
Dunce cap, thank you.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:55.639)
Welcome.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:56.639)
Next try.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:57.639)
No, I'm wearing this because I'm smart.
Unknown Speaker (00:40:59.480)
I'm too high IQ for you to understand when you call me low IQ, it makes a hat.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:05.840)
I think it's a little desperate.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:07.400)
See, that's what I'm saying.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:09.199)
The desperation is real.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:11.280)
I don't think he's going to move a lot of these.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:13.519)
No, I doubt it.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:14.519)
So he goes back to calls and I don't even know how to describe this fucking caller.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:19.079)
He is, he is out there.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:21.559)
Gabe in Colorado, you're on the air.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:23.440)
Welcome.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:24.440)
Hey Alex, it's so great to be online with you again.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:29.280)
Back in the nineties, I, my father, I knew my father was in the Bohemian Grove and went
Unknown Speaker (00:41:35.199)
up there in Northern California every year.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:41.280)
And I'd had lots of experiences with him.
Unknown Speaker (00:41:43.880)
I mean, I can remember when he had what's known as the surgery for the black eye club
Unknown Speaker (00:41:52.079)
where they tore out his pineal gland and put a, put a worm in place of the pineal gland.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:00.960)
And I think you just had a second family.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:02.800)
Hold on, let's just start over.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:04.599)
Cause I'm taking open phones today, which is fine.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:08.199)
I love getting these wildcard calls, but you just said your father had surgery, putting
Unknown Speaker (00:42:13.800)
a worm in his brain.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:15.800)
Yes, yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:17.719)
And they call it nowadays, they call it the black eye club and you've got all these celebrities.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:24.119)
You know, I've heard of everything.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:25.960)
I thought, you know, a lot of people get black eyes too, you know, but let me just stop you.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:34.480)
Um, a few years ago, I have a decision to get up a urinator in the night and somehow
Unknown Speaker (00:42:42.199)
it was half away and had like hung up a sports jacket or something sticking out of the side
Unknown Speaker (00:42:48.639)
of the bathroom.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:49.639)
And I walked into a clothes hanger, wooden clothes hanger, and I got a little bit of
Unknown Speaker (00:42:52.159)
a black eye.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:53.159)
Well, I immediately saw that in the morning.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:55.159)
I go, Oh God, I have this black eye club.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:57.039)
They learn to say I'm a Mason.
Unknown Speaker (00:42:58.619)
I need to go put some, I'll put makeup on everywhere.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:01.079)
I don't wear makeup unless I have like a cut or something on my face, but maybe once
Unknown Speaker (00:43:03.599)
a year.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:04.599)
Famously, I was on a Steven Crowder show, they even caught it on surveillance camera.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:07.960)
They have these sharp wooden panels.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:10.920)
I was talking to Steven and somebody talked to me behind.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:12.920)
I turned my nose into the deal and cut it really bad.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:16.599)
And then they made a joke about it when we played it on air.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:19.519)
But I put makeup on my nose for a week.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:21.119)
It was a big cut.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:22.119)
It looked bad.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:23.119)
That was not a secret Masonic deal to have a cut on my nose.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:25.719)
Have you ever had a black eye?
Unknown Speaker (00:43:28.300)
This goes on for a while and it's not really as interesting as it should be.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:33.659)
Alex is not thrilled.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:34.659)
He doesn't think this guy knows anything.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:37.980)
But there's a fundamental problem.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:40.579)
And that is that Alex immediately is pretending to not know anything about this black eye
Unknown Speaker (00:43:44.719)
club thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:46.460)
But then goes on to tell a story about how he wore makeup when he had a black eye.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:50.579)
So no one would think he was in the black eye club.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:52.579)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:53.579)
So he does know about this.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:54.579)
Well, he just learned about it.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:56.739)
But also has known about it.
Unknown Speaker (00:43:58.280)
And the knowledge of this club has changed his behavior in the past.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:03.079)
Well, it's existed for upwards of five to fifteen seconds now.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:07.119)
So in the past, obviously, it's altered things forever.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:09.519)
Look, I drunkenly ran into a door one night when I was trying to go piss.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:13.760)
I didn't want people to think that I had my pineal gland replaced by a worm.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:17.360)
So I put on some makeup in the morning.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:19.239)
No big deal.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:20.239)
I'm a big fan of...
Unknown Speaker (00:44:21.239)
And you're crazy.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:22.239)
I'm a big fan of responding to a question with, uh, oh, so he had surgery to put a worm
Unknown Speaker (00:44:29.480)
in his head.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:30.480)
You know, I had to pee one time.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:31.719)
Have you ever had a black eye?
Unknown Speaker (00:44:33.280)
Weird.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:34.380)
Not all black eyes are from worms.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:36.960)
I see.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:37.960)
My question is what kind of worm?
Unknown Speaker (00:44:42.599)
Earthworm Jim.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:43.599)
I don't fucking know.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:44.599)
That's easy.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:45.599)
You can't answer this question.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:47.320)
And now I will never know the answer to this question.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:49.719)
I don't even know if we're talking about, like, an organic life form or if it's just
Unknown Speaker (00:44:53.679)
like something that looks like a worm.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:54.679)
Is it a space worm?
Unknown Speaker (00:44:55.679)
Is it a spirit worm?
Unknown Speaker (00:44:56.679)
What are we talking about, man?
Unknown Speaker (00:44:57.679)
I need to know these answers.
Unknown Speaker (00:44:59.039)
Yeah, we don't get any, uh, any resolution on this, but I will say that that guy blew
Unknown Speaker (00:45:04.639)
my fucking mind.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:05.639)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:06.639)
Because later he says that he's in his 70s, and I thought his voice was pretty young.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:09.519)
And he sounded, yeah, early 30s.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:11.480)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:12.480)
Wow.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:13.480)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:14.480)
It sounded like he had a really rough go of things, and then was, now he's at about 30.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:17.639)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:18.639)
Instead he's 70.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:19.679)
That's a real issue for me.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:20.679)
Youthful 70 voice.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:21.679)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:22.679)
There's a lot of that going around in the Info Wars world, strangely.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:26.519)
So he gets another call, and this guy is like, okay, we have been, like, everything's fucked.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:34.000)
The political parties, we have a two-party system.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:36.480)
It sucks.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:37.480)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:38.480)
So what we need to do is run independent candidates.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:40.400)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:41.400)
We need to, uh, he's selling Alex a platform.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:44.800)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:45.800)
And Alex is not listening at all.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:47.360)
Oh yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:48.400)
I feel like we need to start flooding the elections with independent candidates.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:53.360)
Get rid of the party.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:54.360)
We know they're corrupt, and they're corruptable.
Unknown Speaker (00:45:58.320)
If we get behind candidates who are registered as independent, and we verify that they're
Unknown Speaker (00:46:04.159)
a good person, and that they're, you know, what they want to do with their elected office
Unknown Speaker (00:46:09.119)
is true to our American values, then the alternative media platforms such as yourself and other,
Unknown Speaker (00:46:17.239)
you know, Joe Rogan, whoever, just big people, could get behind these people and push their
Unknown Speaker (00:46:20.920)
message and let the American people know.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:22.920)
We know people watch your show way more than CNN or MSNBC or any of them, so.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:29.320)
Nice.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:30.320)
But I feel like, you know, I do have to agree a little bit with the prior caller that no
Unknown Speaker (00:46:35.280)
matter which way the pendulum swings, whether it swings left or right, it's still advancing
Unknown Speaker (00:46:40.599)
the clock on our enslavement.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:44.280)
You know, we've seen both parties for my entire lifetime of noticing politics, 30 years.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:51.159)
I mean, I'm 45 years old.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:53.440)
You know, we've seen them feed us hopium just to rug pull us.
Unknown Speaker (00:46:57.639)
And it's like they're, they make great promises, but when it comes time and they get in office,
Unknown Speaker (00:47:03.719)
their party is a good old boy club, you know, and they're all hammering down on them and
Unknown Speaker (00:47:09.159)
coercing them to do what's not right.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:11.719)
And I feel like if we had strong independent candidates, it would be, it would be our best
Unknown Speaker (00:47:17.360)
bet to set salvation.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:18.360)
I mean, we could literally turn it around and maybe one election cycle, but how do you
Unknown Speaker (00:47:23.840)
feel about that?
Unknown Speaker (00:47:24.840)
Is that something you could get behind?
Unknown Speaker (00:47:26.440)
I'd have to think about it, but could you quantify that again?
Unknown Speaker (00:47:33.039)
What were you saying?
Unknown Speaker (00:47:34.039)
Could you say all of that again?
Unknown Speaker (00:47:35.039)
Sorry, I was off into my own little world.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:36.960)
I was not listening to a fucking word you said.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:40.000)
I was thinking about somebody putting a worm in my brain.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:42.880)
I wonder what I could see if there was a brain worm up in there.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:45.599)
So much more engaged with the brain worm caller.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:48.440)
That was a great call though.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:50.440)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:51.440)
Um, so yeah, I think it's pretty like you hear a moment like that.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:55.300)
It's so obvious.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:56.300)
Like you're not listening.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:57.300)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:58.300)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:47:59.300)
That's fun.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:00.300)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:01.300)
I mean, it's, it's a little bit fair though.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:02.300)
I would bet roughly $10 billion that if we went back, we could find a newspaper in like
Unknown Speaker (00:48:09.880)
fucking 1796 that was like, this two party system is bullshit.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:14.840)
We need to run independent candidates and shit like that.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:17.639)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:18.639)
This complaint has been going on for a while.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:19.639)
No, I have no problem with the perspective that this caller is coming from.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:23.320)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:24.320)
The two party systems kind of fucked.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:25.320)
It is bullshit.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:26.320)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:27.320)
You know, there's a lot of people who are lying about what they intend to do.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:28.920)
I'm with you.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:29.920)
Fair enough.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:30.920)
Alex is part of that economy now.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:32.360)
Yep.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:33.360)
And it's silly to imagine that Joe Rogan is independent.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:35.800)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:36.800)
But I think that at least when someone in the 1700s was writing that in a op-ed, you
Unknown Speaker (00:48:43.239)
didn't have to have the editor be like, what was that again?
Unknown Speaker (00:48:46.079)
Yeah, that's fair.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:47.079)
That's not published in there.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:48.079)
That's embarrassing.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:49.079)
We just didn't finish the rest of the article because we were too busy.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:53.599)
I was too busy asking him questions about it.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:55.719)
So we just printed about half of it in there.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:57.400)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:48:58.400)
So it was painfully obvious that Alex wasn't paying attention.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:00.800)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:01.800)
But then immediately after this, he explains that he was not paying attention because someone
Unknown Speaker (00:49:06.780)
just brought him the news from the New York Times.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:09.940)
Ah, yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:10.940)
Yes, yes, yes.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:11.940)
That The Onion owns him.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:12.940)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:13.940)
I mean, and they just walked in and handed me this.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:14.940)
I'm gonna do a little bit in the next hour and then hand it over to Matt Bragan.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:17.980)
New York Times, let's put the HD version up, please.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:20.539)
New York Times!
Unknown Speaker (00:49:21.539)
Now, a year and a half ago, remember The Onion, they're supposed to have a auction under federal
Unknown Speaker (00:49:29.460)
law so good guys could buy it or bad guys.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:32.599)
The Onion had that shut down by the US Trustees Office, Test Department, and had Infowars
Unknown Speaker (00:49:36.599)
handed over to them.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:37.679)
The federal judge said that that was not legal.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:41.079)
And here we are a year and a half later.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:43.960)
The Onion is now in the New York Times, it's just broke, and says they're coming in here
Unknown Speaker (00:49:50.679)
to take it over next month, even though we're still on appeal in Texas and they have huge
Unknown Speaker (00:49:55.480)
liability, giant liability doing that.
Unknown Speaker (00:49:58.559)
They've gone to Judge Guerre-Gambel, the same one that's ordered the Texas trustee, the
Unknown Speaker (00:50:05.039)
receiver, to turn our power, internet, everything off, the first.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:09.440)
And they've already cut the internet, but the internet hasn't cut us off yet so that
Unknown Speaker (00:50:12.679)
might happen right now, I don't know, any minute.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:14.320)
So we don't pay your power bill or whatever, you just wonder when it's gonna turn off and
Unknown Speaker (00:50:17.719)
all of a sudden you wait until the morning it's off, then we've all been poor in college
Unknown Speaker (00:50:20.280)
or something and you've had power turned off and forgot to pay it.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:23.559)
It's the same thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:24.559)
I told you, Bloomberg and The Onion, folks.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:28.360)
And talk about lawsuit city, but they don't care because they got that Bloomberg money.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:35.239)
But it doesn't matter.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:36.239)
I don't know on the Alex Jones store.com, I don't know on the Alex Jones network.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:39.519)
And so it doesn't matter, judges have against me or anything, you need to support us.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:42.840)
You need to go to the Alex Jones store.com and get the t-shirts, get the ultramethylene
Unknown Speaker (00:50:48.679)
red, ultramethylene blue, all the other incredible supplements.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:51.400)
Fund us, support us.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:53.039)
We are under globalist attack.
Unknown Speaker (00:50:54.960)
We need to continue on to expose the Democrats and the psychotic neo-con Israel firsters.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:00.719)
We need to continue.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:02.119)
Our most important work is still at hand.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:04.920)
I've been battling the deep state for decades, but intensely, intensely for eight years.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:12.000)
And so I wasn't ignoring that last caller.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:17.400)
I rarely do that, but I was halfway listening to him while I was speed reading this because
Unknown Speaker (00:51:21.679)
they came in and handed this to me while he was talking.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:23.960)
So I apologize to the caller.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:24.960)
If I sound a little bit distracted, I did hear you about the third party and the Patriot
Unknown Speaker (00:51:27.920)
party and all that.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:29.239)
Musk said he was going to do that early on.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:30.719)
And then he studied it more and pretty much agreed that it's just the two parties have
Unknown Speaker (00:51:34.920)
a lock on that too.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:35.920)
They're not going to let a third party ever get up there.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:38.719)
I mean, we've got major corruption folks.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:40.360)
We've got to have major reform.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:43.800)
By the way, there's a deal that ends tomorrow.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:48.639)
By the way, from methylene red is so good.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:51.800)
It works the same as methylene blue, but it works great with it.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:54.920)
See the huge bottle of it right there by the methylene blue.
Unknown Speaker (00:51:58.400)
Would that be methylene purple if you take a bogey-ray?
Unknown Speaker (00:52:00.400)
You can't take time just in your profile and get it each month.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:03.320)
You can lock it in at 72% off.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:07.320)
That's just $22, $39 a month.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:08.920)
That's at costs are a little bit lower, but they want to induce you to see how great the
Unknown Speaker (00:52:12.800)
product is.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:13.800)
Today's the last day to take advantage of that.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:15.199)
I'm going to induce you into seeing a drug dealer.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:19.199)
Your first taste is free.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:20.800)
Cheap.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:21.800)
Yeah, that's how we do it.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:22.800)
Yeah, because you got to induce someone.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:24.199)
Yeah, it's nice.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:25.639)
I think it's a little obvious when he's like, I got this piece of paper and now it is time
Unknown Speaker (00:52:32.360)
to sell as hard as I fucking can.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:36.039)
His mind doesn't go to anywhere other than like, all right, sell over at the other place.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:44.679)
Try and get customers over there.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:46.280)
We all, as thinking apes, still struggle with our fight or flight instincts.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:53.880)
It overrides your ability to think Alex doesn't have to worry about that.
Unknown Speaker (00:52:57.360)
He has to worry about the sell or don't sell instinct because this is obviously something
Unknown Speaker (00:53:02.440)
that drove him to sell.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:03.800)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:04.800)
And I think a big part of that is someone rushed in with this new breaking headline
Unknown Speaker (00:53:09.480)
from the New York Times.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:11.039)
And Alex has to think like, well, that's going to lead to more traffic over here because
Unknown Speaker (00:53:15.719)
people want to see me blow up.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:18.159)
And if I make the most of that, I can do a plug while theoretically the most people are
Unknown Speaker (00:53:23.920)
watching.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:24.920)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:25.920)
That's the algorithm.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:26.920)
But see, he didn't even have to think of that.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:28.519)
That's how good the amygdala can be for the sell or no sell human.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:32.039)
You know, just like, boom, I am selling.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:34.559)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:35.559)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:36.559)
So he goes to break and he comes back with like a fucking badass intro.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:40.760)
Oh, right.
Unknown Speaker (00:53:48.159)
I learned this about 20 minutes ago.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:12.880)
Just talk to my lawyers.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:13.880)
They just got the filing.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:15.360)
It's accurate.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:17.000)
Bloomberg's back to you.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:18.239)
And he with the CIA and DOJ, it's all been released in court, all of it, funded all the
Unknown Speaker (00:54:22.920)
lawsuits against me, all this total criminal stuff.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:25.880)
So that that thing about how you're going to need a wrecking ball to get me out of here.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:29.599)
That's really awesome.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:30.599)
And it sounds defiant as hell.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:32.519)
It's the kind of message that Alex really wants to pretend he embodies.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:36.099)
But earlier in the show, he was calmly talking about how he'd chosen to leave the studio
Unknown Speaker (00:54:40.000)
on the 30th because it would be the smoothest way to get over to his new fake business.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:44.920)
It's awesome to say that it's going to take the National Guard to make you back down,
Unknown Speaker (00:54:48.679)
but you can't credibly say that after you've already said that you agreed to back down.
Unknown Speaker (00:54:54.000)
In some ways, this turn of events is a pretty big win for Alex because he now has an enemy
Unknown Speaker (00:54:58.340)
who's causing the shutdown of Infowars instead of him just trying to insist that he could
Unknown Speaker (00:55:02.400)
totally have kept paying rent on the old studio if they just let him.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:06.679)
Ultimately, I think that it's not really a win for Alex because the enemy he has to fight
Unknown Speaker (00:55:11.199)
against is a brain trust of skilled comedians and a figurehead who's a pillar of alternative
Unknown Speaker (00:55:16.300)
comedy who has a rich history of pointed satire.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:19.639)
He can pretend that the enemy he's up against is Bloomberg and all that, but it's really
Unknown Speaker (00:55:23.920)
just smart, funny people who want to fuck with him.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:26.920)
And so I do think that he's able to keep the plate spinning of like Bloomberg is attacking
Unknown Speaker (00:55:32.840)
me, but I think people will see through it.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:35.760)
And I don't think it really helps him that much.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:39.280)
It doesn't solve any problems and Alex isn't going to go away, but I can't just be a hater
Unknown Speaker (00:55:43.239)
all the time.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:44.480)
I think it's ultimately not the best plan, but honestly, who cares what I think?
Unknown Speaker (00:55:48.639)
I don't say that to be facetious.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:50.239)
I may be a stick in the mud about this kind of stuff because of the unique position I'm
Unknown Speaker (00:55:54.739)
in after all this time.
Unknown Speaker (00:55:57.039)
When I see someone taking over Infowars, I see the possible academic and historical opportunity
Unknown Speaker (00:56:01.760)
there is to mine the data and internal documents that'll illustrate how a real, vibrant, propaganda
Unknown Speaker (00:56:08.679)
network runs.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:10.360)
And truth be told, I can't tell if the folks at The Onion aren't pursuing that along with
Unknown Speaker (00:56:14.840)
making a comedy site on Infowars' ashes.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:18.420)
Maybe they can do both, and maybe making an antagonist for Alex that he can't ignore and
Unknown Speaker (00:56:24.440)
is inherently not meant to be taken seriously is good.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:28.199)
Maybe I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:30.260)
I'm iffy on everything, but we'll see how it shakes out.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:33.719)
Nothing that anyone does is going to make Alex go away, so criticizing this based on
Unknown Speaker (00:56:37.760)
the fact that it doesn't make him go away isn't really fair.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:41.280)
And that's an inherent challenge that The Onion now has to deal with.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:44.659)
They can't pretend and promise that they're silencing Infowars or shutting him down for
Unknown Speaker (00:56:50.280)
good because he's not going anywhere.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:52.639)
So I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:54.440)
We'll see.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:55.440)
Here's the thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:56:58.440)
Here's the thing with it, right?
Unknown Speaker (00:57:01.960)
If you don't understand what you're doing, you're fucked.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:04.840)
You get one chance.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:06.219)
You get one chance, and if you can come at him and win, you win and you're good.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:10.460)
And if you lose, you're never coming back.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:12.980)
You're done.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:14.059)
If you lose to Alex Jones and you're Tim Heidecker, you're done.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:19.500)
It's a tightrope.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:20.500)
Yeah, sorry buddy.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:21.500)
It's a tightrope walk that I don't want to say that they don't know what they're doing
Unknown Speaker (00:57:26.019)
because I haven't talked to them.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:27.019)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:28.900)
I don't know what awarenesses are there or not, but yeah, it is a bigger challenge than
Unknown Speaker (00:57:33.139)
it probably appears on the surface.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:36.179)
It seems like this is a cakewalk, a cake-a-walka, where you just can walk through and do the
Unknown Speaker (00:57:41.340)
... I don't know, Jones voice.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:44.139)
And you can a little, but it is more complicated.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:47.900)
It is.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:49.019)
I mean, here's the thing.
Unknown Speaker (00:57:51.400)
As much as I would like to be optimistic in any form or fashion, if it were easy or if
Unknown Speaker (00:57:56.900)
it were something that they were capable of doing, we wouldn't have 1100 odd shows.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:02.739)
Our existence wouldn't be necessary.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:04.619)
Probably.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:06.059)
Because we exist, I would be ... Actually, fuck it.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:10.260)
Because we exist, they're screwed.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:11.539)
They're screwed.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:12.539)
They're hosed.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:13.539)
They are fucked.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:14.539)
They're fucked.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:15.539)
They're idiots.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:16.539)
I think that we've learned a lot of stuff over the course of the time doing this show
Unknown Speaker (00:58:20.659)
that make it clear to us why this is a really, really hard thing that they're undertaking.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:28.420)
I don't know if that means they're fucked, but I think that we have a unique perspective
Unknown Speaker (00:58:35.099)
and it comes out a little bit more pessimistically and negatively on your end and more like,
Unknown Speaker (00:58:41.420)
let's see, on my end.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:43.219)
But at the end of the day, Alex is a problem that's still going to exist.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:46.739)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:58:47.739)
Listen, I mean, hey, what are you going to do?
Unknown Speaker (00:58:51.400)
But if I'm out here and I know there are two professionally funny people who've spent the
Unknown Speaker (00:58:56.559)
last 10 years doing thousands of episodes, I would at least talk to them.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:02.820)
Periodically funny.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:04.860)
I will do my best to get to somewhat.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:08.420)
I'll be delighted with somewhat funny.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:12.500)
I think I'm very...
Unknown Speaker (00:59:14.340)
Moderately amusing.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:15.659)
I'm very happy to live in the space where it's like, every now and again, there's something
Unknown Speaker (00:59:19.139)
real funny.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:20.139)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:21.139)
That's how I feel.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:22.139)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:23.139)
But yeah.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:24.139)
So Alex sticks around for a little bit and I think he realizes like, this isn't drawing
Unknown Speaker (00:59:28.280)
as much traffic as I'd hoped.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:30.280)
I've told Matt Bracken he can host the fourth hour, so I'm just going to let him take over.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:35.739)
And so we're going to ride this thing till the wheels come off and then we're going to
Unknown Speaker (00:59:39.780)
fight them in court every step of the way.
Unknown Speaker (00:59:42.300)

Like Trump all said back during the earlier Trump, it's absolutely true.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:07.579)
They got to get through me to get to you.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:08.579)
I need your support right now.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:09.579)
Thealxinsdoor.com.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:10.579)
Matt Bracken, take over.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:17.579)
Matt, unmute yourself.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:19.579)
In baseball, my wife's from Philly and we just watched the...
Unknown Speaker (01:00:26.860)
Go Swarburn!
Unknown Speaker (01:00:27.860)
... losing Philly's game.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:29.860)
You know, there's pitchers that used to play nine innings.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:34.619)
It's very rare now.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:35.980)
Pitcher pitches nine innings because the managers just say, you know, look, maybe he can finish
Unknown Speaker (01:00:41.460)
the game, but it'll wreck his arm.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:43.760)
And there's guys that come in and like, you know, a deep reliever that like he comes in
Unknown Speaker (01:00:50.139)
to like get one or two outs.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:53.380)
And that's where I am.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:55.380)
Oof, oof, oof, oof.
Unknown Speaker (01:00:59.420)
I think that like, yeah, a deep reliever.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:03.940)
Sure.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:04.940)
You're taking over for the starting pitcher.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:07.780)
So we're not that deep into relief.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:09.820)
And also the score is 50 to zero.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:12.900)
You are not going to have a save here.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:15.539)
This is not...
Unknown Speaker (01:01:16.539)
It's going to be tough, but you do need somebody to eat up innings.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:19.219)
So in a way he's very apt with this metaphor.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:22.059)
You have to have somebody throw.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:23.500)
The starter has really blown this fucking thing.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:25.579)
You can't just quit.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:26.900)
Right.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:27.940)
We've run out of other pitchers.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:29.500)
Buddy, your turn.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:31.179)
We fired everyone except for like three really bad relievers.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:36.260)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:37.260)
Harrison Smith is under the fucking dirt.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:39.860)
He was trying to pitch and then he got stuck under the mound.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:43.019)
No, he's reached his contractual level of like innings.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:46.500)
He has to host like the morning show, the war room.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:50.260)
He's got to do everything.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:51.260)
He does have to do a lot of work.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:52.260)
There's no one else there.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:53.380)
His arm is blown and it wasn't good to begin with.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:56.139)
No, it was not.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:57.579)
So anyway, blown save for Bracken here.
Unknown Speaker (01:01:59.980)
No good.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:00.980)
I do think it's funny that one of the callers earlier used Matt Bracken as an example of
Unknown Speaker (01:02:05.139)
someone who's tough to listen to.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:06.699)
And then Alex has to...
Unknown Speaker (01:02:07.699)
We're going to throw to Matt Bracken real quick, everybody.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:11.380)
So I turned it off.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:12.380)
Yeah, I bet.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:13.380)
I don't care what Matt Bracken has to...
Unknown Speaker (01:02:14.380)
Hard to imagine keeping going.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:16.260)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:17.260)
I think it would be fun if Alex had barged back in or gotten mad, but no.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:21.980)
That's what he has to do.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:24.460)
Is everybody failing me right now?
Unknown Speaker (01:02:26.940)
I think so.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:27.940)
Is everybody failing me?
Unknown Speaker (01:02:28.940)
Alex, step up.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:30.260)
The Onion, get your shit together.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:31.820)
Why is everybody sucking?
Unknown Speaker (01:02:33.340)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:34.340)
Well, I hate to fail you too, but I'm a little chiller about this than I think you probably
Unknown Speaker (01:02:38.380)
hope I would be.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:39.380)
No, no, no.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:40.380)
You're reasonable.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:41.380)
You're supposed to be chill about this.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:43.980)
You know, it's the Buddhist in me.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:46.380)
You just have to accept what is.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:49.340)
Well, interesting.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:50.340)
See me wagging my eyebrows at you?
Unknown Speaker (01:02:52.579)
I do see that.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:55.420)
Anyway, I think that everyone wanted a blow up.
Unknown Speaker (01:02:59.780)
And I wonder if Alex even has that pitch anymore.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:02.619)
You know, like to keep on with the baseball analogy.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:05.179)
He might have gotten Tommy John surgery and he just doesn't have that angle anymore.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:11.619)
I mean, I think that this is actually also part of one of the problems with the takeover
Unknown Speaker (01:03:17.539)
happening now, right?
Unknown Speaker (01:03:19.579)
Is two years ago, maybe we could have done something with it.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:24.179)
There was something going on.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:25.940)
Now I don't think anybody cares.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:28.539)
Now I think Alex has largely ruined his own space.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:31.619)
He doesn't even care.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:32.900)
No.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:33.900)
And I think that that's part of the reason why I feel a little chiller about it is because
Unknown Speaker (01:03:38.219)
I think the opportunity loss is way lower.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:41.920)
I think that he doesn't really have much.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:46.460)
You know, the last time this was going, the Onion bought InfoWars was around the 2024
Unknown Speaker (01:03:52.420)
election.
Unknown Speaker (01:03:53.820)
And I think that the tenor and the way things were working at that point, there was a lot
Unknown Speaker (01:03:59.739)
of disruptive possibility and shit.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:03.300)
Whereas now I don't, I agree with you.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:05.019)
I don't really know.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:06.619)
Most of the audience that is activated and excited is turned against Alex because he's
Unknown Speaker (01:04:12.820)
wishy washy on Iran and the Epstein stuff.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:17.019)
And there's no figurehead to rally around.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:19.579)
They don't like Trump anymore.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:20.659)
Nope.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:21.659)
J.D. Vance sucks.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:22.900)
You're not going to get the regular Media Matters post of like, can you believe this
Unknown Speaker (01:04:26.219)
fucker said this?
Unknown Speaker (01:04:27.460)
You're not going to get those.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:28.659)
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:29.659)
So I think that there's a lot less lost by just creating a parody of him than there would
Unknown Speaker (01:04:33.619)
have been in the past.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:35.760)
So I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:36.760)
I don't know.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:37.980)
I think one way or another, he's going to do a bad show and I will have to watch it.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:43.179)
So great.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:44.179)
We'll see what happens.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:45.179)
Life doesn't change that much.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:46.739)
But I'll be on the road.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:48.420)
Oh, that's true.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:49.420)
That's true.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:50.460)
Coming to you soon from who knows where.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:53.260)
From who knows where.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:55.860)
And we'll check in then.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:56.860)
Indeed we will.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:57.860)
But until then, we have a website.
Unknown Speaker (01:04:59.380)
And by the way, I didn't buy them, but the info onion is available as a URL.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:06.539)
And the info war dot com is available as a...
Unknown Speaker (01:05:10.179)
Why doesn't he snatch up those URLs?
Unknown Speaker (01:05:12.179)
These people.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:13.179)
I don't even know.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:14.179)
Everybody's failing us.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:15.179)
Anyway, we have a website.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:16.179)
Indeed we do.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:17.179)
It's knowledgefight.com.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:18.179)
Yep, we'll be back.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:19.179)
But until then, I'm Neo.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:20.179)
I'm Mark.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:21.179)
I am the mysterious professor.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:22.179)
Woo yeah, woo yeah, woo.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:25.340)
And now here comes the sex robots.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:27.860)
Andy in Kansas.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:28.860)
You're on the air.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:29.860)
Thanks for holding.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:30.860)
Hello Alex.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:31.860)
I'm a first time caller.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:32.860)
I'm a huge fan.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:33.860)
I love your work.
Unknown Speaker (01:05:34.860)
I love you.
