We're a couple dudes that like to sit around, worship at the altar of Selene, and talk A little bit about Alex Joe. Oh indeed. We are Dan Jordan Dan Jordan quick question for you So what's my spot today buddy my bright spot today takes us back to the grocery store that shan't be named Ah ha okay. I was walking around the aisles in the freezer department And I saw something mm-hmm that I thought was cool. Okay. This is a Hot Pocket.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Alright. But it's made by Jack's Pizza. It's a Jack's Pizza brand Hot Pocket. Okay! Now I'm fine, actually, I'm listening. Yeah. Jack's Pizza and I have a long history together. Me as well.
Starting point is 00:01:38 So, I decided to give this thing a whirl. Uh huh. And it's great. Really? You know, it's the crust. There's a water in the crust. they get the crust right it manages to Capture that somehow, and I think it's I find it much better than a hot pocket of course And I may try and fill my freezer with them in case they go out of stock
Starting point is 00:01:59 The problem with Jack's pizzas has always been like you're going to eat it by yourself And it's just too big, but now you got a hot pocket amazing version hero ball microwave a bolt to credible Microwave a ball yeah That's the thing about this grocery store is that like there's a lot of bullshit sure and there's a lot of stuff that it's like You'd never find this at any other store There's these weird brands mm-hmm, but then there's like Jack Jack's pizza find this at any other store. There's these weird brands. But then there's like Jack's pizza randomly pops up here and it's like, did you steal this from somebody? Who has this? Yeah, why is this here? Is this from Japan? Does Jacks have a Japanese brand
Starting point is 00:02:33 that makes these? There's one load of these that'll show up and then they'll be gone. Yeah. And like you, this offense. What truck did these fall off of that you found them in this grocery store? It seems shady, but I'll take them Yeah, I'll go for it. So it's your bright spot. My bright spot is I guess I guess we've So our our upstairs neighbor. Mm-hmm He's doing stuff or stuff is being done to his place And then through the vagaries of time and life Leaks started happening in our bathroom.
Starting point is 00:03:06 From the ceiling, down onto the no good. You don't want that. So we got some people and it turns out we have insurance thanks to the... It was like HOA probably, gotta get involved. No idea. But there's somebody who brought in a humidifier and they brought in like a king size
Starting point is 00:03:24 industrial humidifier. You mean like a dehumidifier? Dehumidifier. It's not, yeah, it's not making more, it's not like trying to make them, if you drip it out the more. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like sweating it out.
Starting point is 00:03:37 We're turning this into a sauna. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But so it's sucking all of the moisture out of the air and they've got to have it running for a while. And I was just looking at it and it's like, this is moisture out of the air and they've got to have it running for a while. And I was just looking at it and it's like, this is good for us because this is going to fix the thing, I guess. But I was watching it turn stuff into literal water droplets, turn stuff, the air. And I was just going like, no, I don't like this.
Starting point is 00:03:59 I think I've turned into some sort of weird Luddite for physics itself. Just like, I don't like all this atoms shit where you can turn air into water. No thank you. No thank you. How do you feel about like snow? I'm against it. Ice? I think I'm against it.
Starting point is 00:04:15 You're against things taking different shapes? I don't like chemistry. I think that's my issue here. I prefer witchcraft. I would prefer things work by magic than understand that they work by minuscule bullshit. Well, now, here's where this falls entirely apart for you. You like cooking. Sure. And anytime you dissolve a seasoning or something like that in a soup or anything like that,
Starting point is 00:04:43 that is exactly what you're doing. You're changing the form of it. So I am the witch. Yeah. Oh God. I don't like this modern world. And now you're going to have to get new cookery. You're going to have to get like a witch pot cookery.
Starting point is 00:04:56 I feel like later on in my life, I feel like I just saw a vision of me at 70 years old. Everything is made out of wood and just like, don't bring your science here. That's what I feel like is happening to me. I'm slowly headed that direction. Because of water vapor. Because of water vapor. That's what's going on. Cool.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Yep. Congratulations. It's gonna be a better bathroom. I think that's the point I was trying to make. That's the win at the end of the day. Yes, yep. So Jordan, today we have an episode to go over. We're gonna be talking about January 29th, 2025,
Starting point is 00:05:24 as we continue the progression of Alex's coverage of the beginning of Trump 2.0. Time moves forward inerringly. Yes. So we'll get down to business on this. This is the day that RFK has his hearing to be confirmed. And so that's fun. But first, let's take a little moment to say hello to some new wonks. Ooh, that's a great idea. So first me ho hen eebus. Thank you so much. You're now policy wonk. I'm a policy wonk Thank you very much. Thank you next it finally happened got up to pee in the middle of the night and God said it was 247 I said back no bitch. It's 219. Thank you so much. You're now policy wonk. I'm a policy wonk Thank you very much
Starting point is 00:06:01 And my phone number is one digit from Alex's old control room phone number and I used to get voicemails for people calling into Alex's show. In 2017 I got a message about shadow brokers and QAnon and that's when I started listening to Knowledge Fight. Thank you so much. You're now a policy wonk. I'm a policy wonk. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:06:19 That's good buzz marketing. That is. We got a technocrat in the mix Jordan, So thank you so much to Sam from Occupied. Austin is looking for allies in the fight against the weather. Thank you so much. You're an hour technocrat. I'm a policy wonk. Four stars.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant. Someone sodomite sent me a bucket of poop. Daddy shark. Bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp. Jar Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent. He's a loser little, little kitty baby. I don't want to hate black people. I renounce Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Thank you so much. Yes, thank you very much. So here, before we get into the episode, is a little bit of an out of context drop from today's show. You want the ultimate sea moss, Irish sea moss, and that's just one concentrated ingredient. It just, your cells gobble it up. What it does is insane. I'm on it right now just yourselves gobble it up. What it does is insane. I'm on it right now. I gobble it. I gobble it. I actually just wanted to cut the I gobble
Starting point is 00:07:13 it part because it's delivered really funny. It is amazing. But I felt like it deserved a little bit more of the line reading. I like I mean it was a delight every aspect of it I wish they were more vaguely threatening ads on on all platforms. Well I texted you the other day that I was watching the episodes of The Critic. Yes. I found some episodes of The Critic online. I can't not watch them. And I'm sure I've discussed rediscovering The Critic at some point over the course of this podcast. At least three or it four times. Yeah. Still incredibly funny. But Alex's read there was very much like the Orson Welles. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Green penis. I now take you to the living will. It's very he has a lot of that energy. Yes. Yeah. So this episode starts with Alex a bit in the middle of watching the the RFK hearings. Yes. Yeah. So this episode starts with Alex a bit in the middle of watching the RFK hearings. Right. And so Elizabeth Warren is asking some questions. And this is where we begin our journey. They are wrecking the globalist. Have a single nominee come through who's made two and a half million dollars off suing one of the and plans to keep getting a take of every well they are so that's what lawyers do they are so scared documentation of every other nominees that's the real takeaway here i've been watching this
Starting point is 00:08:42 morning one har Harrison covered it live American Journal, I mean they are scared they are lying They know the great awakenings here. That's why he has even I Think and I don't know that I want to ask him to get into it, but he has listed his assets and has Gone through a discussion of the responsibilities under the our ethics. What about Fauci? He keeps the money he makes secret off owning part of the vaccines the government pushes. So this episode starts with Alex in the middle of watching the RFK confirmation hearings.
Starting point is 00:09:17 He's yelling about how much he doesn't like Elizabeth Warren. So Warren was asking a question about how RFK has profited off of spreading vaccine misinformation and lawsuits against the very agencies he would end up being in charge of if he's confirmed and how that's a pretty clear conflict of interest. Sure. Alex says that making $2.5 million suing these agencies is just what lawyers do. That's what RFK was doing, but that's not what RFK did. He made this money on referral fees, essentially serving as a spokesperson who would direct people to a law firm called Weisner Baum,
Starting point is 00:09:49 who would then sue these agencies and then RFK would get a cut. Nice. Warren was pointing out that in his ethics agreement, RFK had said that he was going to continue this arrangement for referral fees. Is that a job? I guess so. But it's kind of like someone holding a sign outside of a car wash. I guess, yeah. I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Yeah, sure. It seems like something he could really easily exploit within his government position. He's been pretty public about wanting to remove liability protections for vaccines, which would represent a huge payday for him personally through this kickback arrangement of finder's fees for lawsuits. In order for Alex to present the people that he likes in a good light, he can't even let the basic details of what they're up to or have been up to be discussed. He has to create this like, it's just a lawyer's do.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Crazy. I appreciate what Elizabeth Warren thinks she's trying to do here, but it is more ridiculous to try and be serious if you're asking Homer Simpson a question in real life. Like Homer Simpson, how could you be in front of this courtroom? Like you're the one who's ridiculous here. Elizabeth, come on now. If I were in this confirmation hearing, I would probably hope someone else takes a more serious tack and I would just be like tell me about that bear I I can't know how can you not be like so you cut a bear's you killed a bear and then put it
Starting point is 00:11:14 Do you did you think anybody was gonna catch you and where is the joke? Right, that's what I want to get into what were you on? I get it was a prank. Of course. I get it It's funny who among us has had the idea? Let's talk about why is this funny. I really just get into it. And if I'm him, I'm showing up wearing clown shoes, right? Like, and I'm putting them up on the desk just like, yes, what other questions do you have for me? Change places! Yeah, do you really think anything I say is going to affect votes here? What are we doing? What are we doing here, children? So, RFK gets asked if he's a conspiracy theorist in this clip.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Yes. I got a real quick question for you. Are you a conspiracy theorist? Um, that is a pejorative, Senator, that's applied to me, mainly to keep me from asking difficult questions about... Yeah, they invented it when they killed his dad and uncle. I was told that... That's declassified.
Starting point is 00:12:12 The CIA created it for the Kennedys. So he wouldn't ask questions about them being murdered. That's not true. But I just like the conspiracy theorist label as weaponized against people who ask tough questions. No, it's not. No, you're a dipshit. Nope. No, I think it's actually very interesting that we've all kind of agreed now at the end of the day, like, it's not even that as much of a pejorative as we as you'd like. Now, people are openly like, yeah, of course, I'm a conspiracy theorist. Okay. Yeah, I'd sound crazy. Yeah I think descriptive labels have largely lost a lot of their meaning and a lot of their power like people, you know
Starting point is 00:12:50 Who cares? There's no there's no social cost to being a conspiracy theorist anymore Yeah, cuz no it your beliefs don't have to be rational. There's no you don't lose anything for that Totally if anything, it's like oh, I've accepted that I'm a conspiracy theorist So now I just only go to these YouTube videos now like it's it's almost a relief So Bernie Sanders And he has some he has some questions here this shit See he asks about whether or not RFK believes that climate change is a hoax. Oh yeah. Much like Trump does. Let's do it. I happen to believe that climate change is real.
Starting point is 00:13:30 It's an existential threat and it is a healthcare issue. Donald Trump thinks that it is a hoax. Oh yeah, when they cook up a virus, they go, oh, it came out of the jungle because it's warming. No, they made it in the lab. Is climate change a hoax? The third world star of the death case, you had lockdowns for years.
Starting point is 00:13:48 President Trump and I, from the beginning, from our first meeting, agreed to disagree on that issue. I believe climate change is existential. My job is to make Americans healthy again. All right. You believe that, all right. You disagree with Trump. You don't think climate change is a hoax is what I'm hearing.
Starting point is 00:14:06 My job here is to make that good stuff. I'm just asking you that, it's like, you're not at your question. I answer your question. You disagree with the president on that. I answered your question. Okay. Okay. So, do you believe in reality?
Starting point is 00:14:20 I do, but he doesn't, but I work for him and we're just going to agree to disagree on this year. What are you're gonna do right? That's bad. I If I could if I could quantum leap into anybody right now It would be birdie Sanders just and I would go absolutely ape shit on it Just scream and I told you so I would if he were in a confirmation hearing I'm shitting in my hand and throwing it at RFK Junior's face like it's not is not super light on him, but I don't think it's throwing
Starting point is 00:14:52 Levels why not? I think there's something funny about Alex being like he's not he's not gonna be the secretary of energy Yeah, great. The only place where climate's relevant. How does that work exactly? What do you think the Department of Energy does, Alex? Definitely not health. There's no noted correlation between the weather and people's health. That's not possible. So Alex really needs to interrupt because Bernie does make some points and Alex is like, yeah, you know, like, oh yeah, he's not the secretary of energy or whatever.
Starting point is 00:15:24 It gets to a head where Alex is like in crisis. I think the gist of what you're trying to say today is you're really pro vaccine. You want to ask questions. You have started a group called the Children's Health Defense. He wants safe vaccines. Right now, it's not even a vaccine. They changed the definition four years ago. They're not telling me what's called onesies. These are little things, clothing for babies.
Starting point is 00:15:50 One of them is titled unfaxed, unafraid. Next one is no vax, no proxies. They give us five, they give us six or seven. They're full of cancer viruses. They're contaminated on purpose. You can see Alex's instincts really shine here. This is a line of questioning that he cannot engage with at all, and he needs to distract away from it as much as possible. Bernie is asking RFK a question that reveals his primary deception. In a respectable setting, like a confirmation hearing, he'll say that he's a guy who's in favor of vaccines, and he just has some hard questions to ask because he wants to make things better. But in reality, he's selling explicitly anti-vaccine merch to his audience. Essentially, Bernie's question reveals how RFK wants to have his cake and eat it too,
Starting point is 00:16:53 and it should make people think that maybe he's a liar. RFK knows two things. One, his strident anti-vaccine arguments are flimsy, debunked, and would be embarrassing to try to defend in a formal setting like this confirmation hearing. Two, no one is buying merch that says, I support vaccines, but I have some questions about the medical establishment. In order to profit from the audience, he needs to convey one message. Then he needs to moderate and distort that message in order to make himself acceptable
Starting point is 00:17:21 to be close to power. Everybody knows he's lying, but both sides are betting that they're lying in their favor. The people in the confirmation hearing are betting that he's lying to his gullible audience to make money and won't really be an anti-vaccine zealot if he's given power. The people in the audience are betting that he's actually an anti-vaccine zealot, but he needs to lie to the folks in the hearing in order to be confirmed. It's a grim state of affairs and it's unacceptable. Yeah, it is really interesting and it kind of tells you from the jump how this stuff
Starting point is 00:17:54 was designed. Whenever it does feel like a very simple rule to have in a governing body would be like, if you get caught lying, you're kicked out. You know, like, he got caught, you know, like sometimes you lie and you're like, ah, I didn't catch him. You know, I didn't quite get there. Reasonable doubt, that kind of shit. He can hide behind this stuff.
Starting point is 00:18:15 He sells a shirt that says, I hate vaccines. No, no, a onesie for baby. Right, exactly, exactly. It couldn't get, this is a signed piece of paper saying I hate vaccines and I would try and destroy them and do you think this counts? You have been caught sir, goodbye. Yeah, you're comically corrupt and you put a dead bear in the park. Yes. Get out. It's just an automatic rule. It has no party, it has no nothing, it just has, you got caught lying buddy, you can't be here. If we had a little bit of respect for our own government, then that would happen.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I'm not even against it. There's a certain amount of gamesmanship that I would be fine with. See how much lying you could get away with, but if you get caught, you get caught. You're done. On our last episode of The Cat, I talked a little bit about watching Deal or No Deal Island. Yes, a little bit. Your rant reminded me of something on that yeah It's one of the only reality TV game show type things that I've ever seen where they care if you cheat Okay, there was a time where Boston Robb tried to peek over at someone else's board for the solution to something He couldn't figure out yeah, and he got fucked by it. They were like no no no stop the game stop You cheated that's great that happens all the time on like on Survivor or the challenge you cheat people knock over their puzzles once they're finished
Starting point is 00:19:33 So you can't cheat off them of course it's just baked in that everyone cheats totally not on dealer No, Iland dealer no deal island is somehow less corrupt than Congress. Yeah So Marsha Blackburn comes up and has a question. And Alex gets a board. Rural health care is very important to me. And the people of Tennessee, 78 of our 95 counties are rural counties. Now over the last few years, we've seen hospital closures.
Starting point is 00:20:03 So we have focused on access in rural areas. That's illegal aliens wanging it all down. And the rural health agenda, which is... That's on record. That's the number one thing, bankrupting small hospitals, private ones and little ones. ...access points. It focuses on work shortages. And also, Senator Warner and I have together focused on... All right, we'll go back to this when the left attacks. Yeah, we just want to see some fights. I don't really care about this. and I have together focused on. We'll go back to this when the left attacks.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Yeah, we just want to see some fights. I don't really care about this. Yeah. You can see here how Alex just has a model where he sees a problem. And without even thinking about it, he reports that the group in the population he doesn't like is to blame for it.
Starting point is 00:20:36 And it's been proven. It's all proven. Look it up. So in the real world, rural health care is a very complicated thing. And it always has been. For one thing, the population density in rural areas is much lower, so a hospital in a particular area has a much smaller number of potential patients to serve.
Starting point is 00:20:54 This also means that hospitals will be more distant from each other and from the people who need to get to them because having close, easily accessible hospitals for everyone is financially unsustainable. There are a lot of obvious challenges that providing health care in more rural areas presents, and some more complex ones, like how services are just more costly in rural hospitals. So the same payouts from insurance companies actually represent a lower payment for them proportional to the cost of care. That's something that is really hard to solve. Yeah. I've read a little bit about this and it seems like one of the main answers to this would just
Starting point is 00:21:30 be public investment in rural health care. I've seen no one who takes this question seriously blame immigrants for hospitals closing, but that's more or less just an expression of Alex's racism. Alex makes it a little too obvious too that he's just in this for entertainment and memes, though, with the whole, we'll check in when the left attacks things. Totally. He wants to talk about conflict, not any kind of substance. That they're like, these are problems that we would really like the director of the HHS to help solve.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Yeah. No. I'll come back when the left's fighting. I would be, I would be much more comfortable, more comfortable if I'm the right wing, right? And I'm a person who's trying to use the demagoguery, of course, but also I am familiar with how to write legislation and minutiae and that kind of stuff. I figure we have two different hearings, right? We have the TV hearing where everybody's like, ah, immigrants did it.
Starting point is 00:22:24 And then we have the TV hearing where everybody's like, ah, immigrants did it. And then we have the adult hearing. So Alex doesn't get to see the adult hearing because he's just going to get bored. Like all of the people that want RFK Jr. to be in this job don't actually want him to be in the job because they don't know what the job is, right? Like we're listening to what the job is and everybody who wants RFK Jr. to be there is like, boring next show, you know? It's a difficult job made up of weird shit. Yeah, and tons of variables that you don't even think about. They live in the background. They're the things that only people who are in the field really ever have to face or confront. And Alex is just, it's boring.
Starting point is 00:23:08 It's boring. Another worry. You can't be a person who says, shut up, nerd, whenever you hear details about health and human services in rural areas. That would be good. Yeah. So Alex talks a little bit about aspartame here because there's a little bit of like, hey, isn't it strange that you're all about the chemicals and the food and all this stuff and then Trump loves McDonald's so there is a good point
Starting point is 00:23:31 It's strange. It's RFK has to deal with that and it sends Alex on a nonsense rant Let's go ahead and go to clip 22 and 20. These are important. Real quick. He's watching it live and then when he gets bored, he's going to clips. So that's why he's going to a clip. This is how we live.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Yeah. I don't want to take food away from anybody. If you like a McDonald's cheeseburger diet coke, which my boss loves. And you should be able to get them. If you want to eat hostess Twinkies, you should be able to do that. But you should know what the impacts are on your family and on your health.
Starting point is 00:24:17 That's right. He exposed that all over the world, red dye number three, is it's a seriously toxic carcinogen has an infetimen effect. Anybody that's been parents and you go, what was in that when your kid gets, you know, fruit loops or something, and it's highly toxic and has an infediment effect. I mean, I did that when I was a kid, my dad would not let me,
Starting point is 00:24:35 he would look at the back of something, oh, that's got red dye five or three, they all have the same thing. Comes from petroleum. And it's a free country if you're an adult and want to eat that stuff. But we're going to make sure it's labeled. And stuff that's toxic is going to be removed. So he's dead on there. And you know, Trump is not a drug user or drinks, but he is well known to be a fast food goblin. And he likes it. People be gobbling. That's what Trump does.
Starting point is 00:25:09 He likes Diet Coke. So does Elon Musk. Diet Coke is highly addictive. It is the chemical secretions aspartame of a toxic species of an E. coli genetically engineered bacteria that was created, the first one ever deployed in the 70s to eat oil residue on giant oil containment facilities. Sounds true to me. And they found that the bacteria secreted a very sweet chemical that's basically concentrated
Starting point is 00:25:42 wood alcohol slash formaldehyde. Why wouldn't I believe you? 87 degrees it breaks down into that and so in your stomach it breaks down and yeah, what alcohol gets you high It has an amphetamine effect also making you blind So that's an interesting story that Alex has about aspartame being E. Coli secretions, but that's not that's not true Yeah in secretions, but that's not true. In 1965, a researcher named James Schlatter was working on compounds that could be made into anti-ulcer drugs. He discovered aspartame by accident when he got some on his finger and he licked it
Starting point is 00:26:14 off, which is an insane thing for him to do and you probably should not have. It's crazy. Hey, you found aspartame. What are you gonna do? He noticed that it was sweet and saw the potential in how sweet it was along with having zero calories. Alex might be combining this with the discovery of saccharin, which was found in 1879. Constantine Falberg was working on things that you could do with coal tar derivatives and noticed that one of these things was really sweet. I think the same way by like licking his hand. It turned out to be benzoic sulfamide, which brought us saccharin. It is true that part about the breakdown process in your body with aspartame that it becomes a tiny little bit of methanol
Starting point is 00:26:54 or wood alcohol. This is the case with some fresh fruits and vegetables though too. They'll break down into methanol in your gut. It's not the same thing as drinking wood alcohol. Methanol itself in some circumstances breaks down into formaldehyde, but this is a small concern with drinking way too much stuff that contains aspartame. But Alex is sensationalizing things a little bit here because I think he wants to be interesting.
Starting point is 00:27:20 That does sound like he wants to be interesting. Yeah, it's working. I wonder if it has so right. So when we watch TV shows that are set in the 1800s, everybody washes their hair. You know, we just all accept that that's not what they actually look like. It's a TV show. But like even in my own conception, I have a hard time putting together whether or not I think maybe everybody has like at least one or two goiters at all times or there's just like pus-filled sacks in armpits like people were covered
Starting point is 00:27:49 in diseases at all times right or maybe they were fine I have no idea but essentially why wouldn't you lick shit off your hand you know what I'm saying you've got it you've got practically a second twin growing out of your neck and a doctor was like I'll give you a haircut you know like what are you gonna do well I think obviously there's a there's a twin growing out of your neck and a doctor was like I'll give you a haircut. You know? Like, what are you gonna do? Well, I think obviously there's a big gap between the saccharin in 1879 and 1965. There's a little bit. With the... So, fewer Gorters in 1965. Standards might be a little bit different in terms of licking your hand in the lab. Fair. But I still think even then, you don't know what this does. Don't lick that. I mean, hey, don't ask me. So RFK has one of his big kind of
Starting point is 00:28:32 angles is that everything is about all of these toxins and all this stuff. Sure. It's causing chronic disease. Right. And all of us in the medical, all you folk in the medical world. Right. You're trying to solve these medical problems and it's rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. You're not focusing on the four humors. We have an imbalance of bile in the green bile and the black bile, everybody knows this. Bingo.
Starting point is 00:28:57 So he discusses that a little bit. The average person who died from COVID, American, had 3.8 chronic diseases. That's right. This is an existential threat economically to our military or health to our sense of well-designed. It's designed to do that. And it is a priority for President Trump.
Starting point is 00:29:15 And that's why he asked me to run the agency. And if I'm privileged to be confirmed, that's exactly what I'll do. You're rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. And that's what the globalists said, Bertrand Russell and others back in the 40s. They said we're going to diet injections and injunctions. We'll make a rebellion by the proletariat, meaning the common people, communist parlance. As futile as sheep rebelling against the practice of eating mutton, which is another name for sheep. Diet injection and injunctions and Aldous Huxley, his brother, ran the UN UNESCO Global Eugenics Society, then changed the name
Starting point is 00:30:04 of the Transhumanist Society, wrote in 61, Brave New World Revisited, a nonfiction book. He said, no, Brave New World that I wrote, he said in 31, was based on our plan to poison you and dumb you down so that you would never know what hit you. Albs Huxley didn't say that in Brave New World Revisited. Alex has played manipulatively edited clips from a speech that Huxley gave discussing his reflections on Brave New World, and that's the basis for this claim here, which is false.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Bertrand Russell did not say that the plan was to make the public pacified by diet injections and injunctions. This is something that Alex is lying about from Russell's book, The Impact of Science on Society. In the book, he's discussing the serious danger that exists from a combination of a dictatorship and a scientifically advanced society. From the text, quote, scientific societies are as yet in their infancy. It may be worthwhile to spend a few moments in speculating as to possible future developments
Starting point is 00:31:01 of those that are oligarchies. It is to be expected that advances in psychology and physiology will give governments much more control over individual mentality than they now have even in totalitarian countries. Fitch laid it down that education should aim to destroy free will so that after pupils had left school, they shall be incapable throughout the rest of their lives of thinking or acting otherwise than as their school masters would have wished. But in his day, this was an unattainable ideal. What he regarded as the best system in existence produced Karl Marx.
Starting point is 00:31:39 In future such failures are not likely to occur where there is dictatorship. Diet injections and injunctions will combine from an early age to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all will believe themselves happy because the government will tell them they are so. Russell goes on to suggest that such a society would eventually sterilize all but 5% of the males and 30% of the females who would be required to spend their lives reproducing.
Starting point is 00:32:16 The genetic divide between the elites and the commoners would expand until they were essentially two separate species, and the idea of revolt among the commoners would, quote, become as unthinkable as an organized insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton. This is all very bad for Russell, though. He's saying this is a bad thing. Yeah. And he says, quote, to prevent these scientific horrors, democracy is necessary, but not sufficient.
Starting point is 00:32:40 There must also be that kind of respect for the individual that inspired the doctrine of the rights of man." So these are the kinds of data points that Alex has behind the arguments that he's making. These are entirely out of context and misrepresented snippets from books that he's never read and he doesn't care to understand at all. But that's fine. He remembers the words diet injections and injunctions. He dazzle people with pretending that he knows anything. You know, I mean, it does help. The reason that we like quotes is because the people who make them have a sense of a phrase.
Starting point is 00:33:18 You know, that's a very catchable, it gets caught in your mind, diet injunctions, injunctions. I like it. Yeah. Sure. Russell had something going there. You should really keep writing. Yeah, I think he's got a chance. Yeah, you could get published. Yeah Yeah, I just I find this stuff such trash Yeah, like I I get it. You got to appeal to some things and Aldous Huxley is famous Bertrand Russell's famous You've got to try and pretend that you know something in and their plans revealed here But it's just such trash. Yeah Yeah, it is it is like I
Starting point is 00:33:52 have to It's not just enough for me to know these people I have to prove to you how smart I am because I truly understand them and the only way to explain that to you is To use your dumb people talk. You know, that's that's very much like mutton. That's another word for sheep, right? You know, thank you I'm at my Ted and Rogan know that because the menus at the rich places that we go and dine but not you commoners leaps Yeah, so I mean look all Alex wants to do is watch people fight and he wants to People fight with Robert Kennedy and he's so bored when that's not happening. It's a damn fact what we're talking about here. They're killing us. It's on purpose
Starting point is 00:34:39 Let's go back to the live hearing see what's happening now I spent 20% of my career working on native issues. My family's been deeply involved with them. My family, father and uncle were big critics of the Indian Health Service, a failure to deliver good health results or healthcare on the reservations. I'm gonna bring a native in for the first time in
Starting point is 00:35:06 history into my central office that all the major decisions get my office. We've got a lot of exchanges where this idiot Democrat senator, which, Seahag, is just flipping out on Kennedy. So bored by the idea that Kennedy has sensitivity to Native issues. Governance is not an exciting thing. Nah. No, elections are exciting, because you're like, ah, we're gonna do something,
Starting point is 00:35:32 and you can imagine all the good things that are happening. Governance sucks. It's a job. I'm not going to entirely ignore the concerns of Native communities. Fuck this, I wanna go watch this which yell that I mean honestly would be like great the idea is And I feel stupid for saying this but the idea is if your team wins the election
Starting point is 00:35:58 Then you are excited about the things they're going to do And if they say something like oh,, we're going to help Indians, you cheer, you know, you're in the cheering section, right? Well, I think they're more excited. Like, and you could get this from Alex in the way he's covering this. He's excited about the things that the people he's put into power are going to do that will anger other people. He wants to elicit that reaction in the same way that he relished watching the Hillary people cry. You know, like he wants to elicit that reaction in the same way that he you know relished watching the Hillary people cry, you know, like he wants that and he wants these people in the in the confirmation hearing to be like
Starting point is 00:36:36 What the fuck they wants them to be he wants to see that reaction. Yep. Yeah, it's just chaos I can't believe I got owned by the right. Ah It's not interesting to I can't believe I got owned by the right. Ah, it's not interesting to hear RFK talking about something that Alex doesn't give a fuck about. Yeah, that actually is a good thing. Yeah. Yeah. So, uh, Steven Crowder shows up. Why analysis? Oh, not, not at the here. No, Alex needs his expert take. It's like, what the fuck is he doing there no okay he's on on air with Alex I really wanted to get Stephen Crowder to pop in today he's
Starting point is 00:37:11 a busy guy good friend of mine fella Texan on just nine days in what he just thinks about Trump what his report card what he thinks is coming next and people need to know this is not like, oh, Republicans got in. This is a global political realignment. Things just get crazier from here on out. This is not where the election comes and things settle down.
Starting point is 00:37:36 You see it, this is a real struggle. Stephen, great to have you on, my friend. Wow, what is your take on the moment we're in in history right now? Well, first off, thank you so much. And I'm sorry, I am a couple minutes late because our clock is a little off. That's my fault.
Starting point is 00:37:49 I've been watching RFK today and I tell you what, you know, I'm someone who's not completely sold on him, but this is a big deal. What I will say is, and I wanna get into all of it, but he is the first person I've ever seen willingly give his flash of genius moment. What I mean by that is he told everyone there at that hearing, he said, you know what? You all used to be my friends. And now anything
Starting point is 00:38:10 that I say, if Donald Trump supports it, you have to, you have to, you have to denigrate it. He was saying, Hey, you know what? You're wondering where I've had a change of heart. And he provided that willingly. Boy, I will tell you that bought a lot of, that bought a lot of empathy for me. And you know what? He's sitting there asking questions. This is really important right now. Yeah. So that moment that Steven Crowder is describing is actually RFK Jr. not being able to understand that everyone used to just treat him with kid gloves because he was super rich and a Kennedy. It wasn't that everyone used to like what he had to say and they agreed with him. And now that he's with Trump, they all
Starting point is 00:38:43 don't like him. It's just that he was part of the super rich club before so the power structures kind of ignored his insanity. People were generally humoring RFK and now we see what the danger in that is. You all used to be my friends, like no, they were rich. It's just crazy because if you've ever history, there's just no way of knowing that indulging a super rich dilettante throughout their entire life could someday backfire on you. Especially if they're in a sort of aristocracy.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Perhaps even a rulership position. It was, how could anyone have seen this coming? I'd like to try and imagine someone who wasn't Robert F. Kennedy doing the things that he does. Not being a Kennedy. Like leaving a dead bear in Central Park as a prank. As a prank. I don't know how we're, I don't know how the country hasn't stopped to deal with that. Yeah, we should we should figure some Like we at least had a couple of weeks for 9-eleven Mm-hmm, so Crowder is on yeah, and he has some thoughts about how the left operates
Starting point is 00:40:00 Yeah, they just want to give money to institutions The worldview of the left is very clear Grow more money at the same exact structures that exist because that's more compassionate Let's look at this public Department of Education. How many trillions worse results? Let's look at Medicare Medicaid How much more money worse results? Let's look at the DOJ. Let's look at our military more money worse results They however their worldview their dogma precludes them from Revolutionizing innovating it's no no more money will fix the problem plus we need to give them more money because it's compassion of course It's ill-gotten game exactly look at the process they take our money and then say oh school lunches are for poor kids and now it's for everybody You're domesticated
Starting point is 00:40:43 That's not free stuff. They're taking control of us. We're prisoners. In a prison, you get free food because you're a prisoner, Stephen. Right. Exactly. That's their worldview. Some people might say that you also get your meals paid for when you go on a cruise because it's part of the package. Debatably, school lunches might be seen as part of the package we pay for that's provided to children. But maybe, you get free meals isn't the defining characteristic of a prison. This might be superficial analysis that means nothing.
Starting point is 00:41:14 As for Steven's take on the worldview of the left, I think he's stupid. For one thing, he believes that the left is full of Antifa socialist revolutionaries who want to bring in world communism. So that doesn't really seem like the business as usual throwing more money at the Department of Education. Yeah, this is stupid. He's not he's saying that his enemy is simultaneously just wants to fund the Department of Education and be compassionate.
Starting point is 00:41:37 But at the same time, they're fucking revolutionaries who are going to overthrow civilization and turn everything into Chaz. Yeah. Yep. What is it? It is. It is so very frustrating to hear like this kind of bullshit because it's like, yes, obviously the Department of Education, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever you want to say is this sucks. But like if you wanted to solve the problems that you are bringing up, right, then let's then I would have to tear apart each individual strand
Starting point is 00:42:07 and to solve that problem, we would fundamentally remake everything. You know, like there's no way to do that without tearing everything apart and building it back up. And the person who would get in our way the most is you fucks, you know? Yeah, you'll never build anything back up. The reason that we are here is to compromise with you idiots to try and get something done Yeah, that's the idea and
Starting point is 00:42:34 We now see I don't think that that's gonna work. No, no, no, so Stephen's stupid Just straight up. I Don't know any other way around it that I can't look at him the same after the deposition Is this dumb? Really dumb? Yeah, he's dumb. I was just talking about this today, and this is the fundamental worldview difference They say oh we need to fix there some people who are more than 30 miles away from a hospital Let's change the word hospital. We're talking about in-network and HMO and insurance How about we change the word hospital to healthcare practitioner? Do you realize that all throughout human history you had doctors who would go to your house and we mock it now but wouldn't that be better than
Starting point is 00:43:11 nothing? Wouldn't it be better to give people choice so that they can actually have a direct relationship with their doctor? You don't think that in these small towns where they can't go to a giant super hospital there's no healthcare practitioner there who would be willing to help people? Sure he is, but he's not in network. Or my God, he might not be approved by Medicare and Medicaid. Steven just doesn't fundamentally understand the issues that the adults are discussing about things like rural access to healthcare. The in network stuff is a side issue, but that could be entirely solved by single payer
Starting point is 00:43:41 healthcare. So if Steven wants to endorse Medicare for all, he's welcome to. As long as private insurance is a primary driver of coverage, you're going to have in-network and out-of-network issues. It's a byproduct of the combination of the market and healthcare. It's just inevitable. It's business. The larger issue that Stephen is entirely ignoring is that a lot of these folks in rural areas do need a hospital. They don't need a guy to come over and hit their knee with a little mallet, they need an MRI. Some kind of practitioner who comes and makes house calls is
Starting point is 00:44:10 great and you can probably find some of that if you want, but it's not feasible for someone to just bring an MRI over to your house. That needs to exist at a hospital and technicians need to exist to operate and maintain it. With smaller pools of potential patients, it's far more costly for a hospital in a rural area to provide that kind of care that a lot of people need. Folks like Steven love to pretend that the left and the globalists they all hate flyover country, but they really could not care any less about the issues that these communities face in terms of accessing care. Debating providing more money for Medicare payments or providing grants to rural hospitals
Starting point is 00:44:46 to restructure their payment models is super boring, but it would help. What Stephen wants is a little bit less boring, but the end result is going to end up being like, oh, a lot of people die. You're gonna be unable to help a lot of people. And then maybe you'll have some new app where someone brings you soup and you call it health care or something like that'll be your new
Starting point is 00:45:10 Market driven solution. I'm gonna ask you a question because I think I think you did see it I think you saw exactly what I saw whenever he tried to explain his vision of health care You saw a guy wearing an overcoat with a fedora where with the black bag, right? The like weirdly shaped black bag that has all of his doctors pictures 100% Yeah, that's what you saw that's in his mind what a doctor does. Yeah still I do snake oil Salespeople have it so bad. Like why are they so maligned? I People have the choice to inject themselves with cement. Shouldn't people have the choice? Isn't it better than nothing? Why would you deny people the right to cut
Starting point is 00:45:53 their own leg off? I think that the issue that I have with Steven is literally no respect. Like I really just don't think he's even dealing with or aware of the arguments that he's trying to make. No, I don't. He takes himself a bit more seriously, I think, than Alex. And that is where it falls apart. Because Alex is just talking about like E. coli shitting out sugar. Yeah. Stephen's trying to be like, let's talk actual policy. Yeah, Alex cannot not know he's a font of bullshit. Stephen Crowder can't know about himself because he's too dumb.
Starting point is 00:46:35 He's too dumb to understand what it is he's doing. I'm afraid that may be the case. And I find him uninteresting. But we have another guest. I was shocked that this fellow was coming on. All right. The trailblazer, the game changer, the man that's watched at least 10 major political movements, Gavin McEnnis.
Starting point is 00:46:55 They're scared of him. We're two of the most banned men in the world. Totally vindicated. And without Gavin, I can tell you right now, we would not be seeing the giant successes we're having. So he is a real OG in the culture wars. We're going to him in a moment. There's a lot of stuff happening in the world and we're talking to Steven Crowder and Gavin
Starting point is 00:47:16 McGinnis. Wild. Sometimes I really wish that life would provide some closure in the form of like the credit scene for Animal House where it's just like a title card and it's like Gavin McGinnis was never seen from again. That's all I I don't care where I don't care what I don't care Just never seen from again. Yeah, if he's perfectly happy living in some like suburb or whatever Care I don't need him to be in pain for the rest of his life. Shut the fuck up. I hope he's enjoying mowing his lawn. That's fine. Yeah. Never seen from again, please. But instead here he is. Here we go. Here he is. The game changer. Fine. Yeah. So here he is. Okay. I've been watching a lot of the
Starting point is 00:48:00 podcast you've been doing lately. I always watch you, but I've been watching you binging and you just make so many great points. How would you quantify where we are right now? you've been watching a lot of the podcast you've been doing lately. I always watch you, but I've been watching you binging. You just make so many great points. How would you quantify where we are right now? Your report card on Trump and then where you think things are
Starting point is 00:48:17 going and. What you think the globalist are going to do now. Well I'm cautiously arrogant. I'm reluctantly gloating right now because we've been through this before. If you recall 2017, we did have six months of paradise. We used to joke that we got so sick of winning, we were getting winning AIDS. And then the cancel cultures kicked in, Trump derangement syndrome went nuts. And we had a bad like last three years. Bolsonaro revolutionized Brazil, rescued it from the edge of the abyss. And then they got into Silva, socialist stole the election
Starting point is 00:48:53 and Brazil's a dump again. So we need a wall. I love that he's arresting all these illegals. I love this hearing. It looks like it looks more like a fan convention. I'm surprised he's not If there's ever been someone who's evidenced that consequences don't exist, it's Gavin McGinnis. He's a dude who's not really all that funny, and desperately wants to be edgy but really isn't that brave or interesting, so he just kinda lives this existence as a dick. His show was called Get Off My Lawn, which is kinda perfect because that's his energy. He's an old asshole on a porch muttering slurs and complaints about the youth these days, somehow imagining that he's on a crusade to protect his right to do that.
Starting point is 00:49:49 Then he started a violent street gang, designed to start fights with left-leaning protesters that recruited only the best members by making them get jumped into the group while naming cereals. This group was hierarchical, with the only ways to become higher-level members being to stop masturbating and then to assault a liberal protester. This group got entirely out of hand and eventually multiple members of the group planned an assault on the US Capitol meant to disrupt the certification of the 2020 election. But nothing happened to McGinnis. He's still rich and fine, acting like a victim and imagining that he has a sense of humor. What a piece of shit. Yep. A random person posted on Facebook that two January 6 participants who were pardoned by the Trump administration
Starting point is 00:50:30 had been killed in the days after the pardon. But this is just some social media bullshit. Great. On January 26th, Matthew Huddle, a pardoned January 6th rioter, was pulled over by the police. He resisted arrest and was shot and killed by the police. It sucks, and police shouldn't use deadly force like this, but it has nothing to do with him being involved in January 6th. The second death in question was a woman named Tamara Towers Perry who died in October 2024, which is a while before the pardons. She was at the Capitol on January 6th and shot video of herself there but was never charged for her actions. So she's not even a J6er, according to these people. On October 1st, people showed up to her house to serve
Starting point is 00:51:08 her with paperwork most likely related to the fact that her house was in foreclosure. Perry arrived to meet them at the door wielding a shotgun and according to police, one of the men serving this paperwork shot her and killed her. He was not a cop who was serving the paperwork but he did have a gun. She had a shotgun but she had a shotgun yeah she answered the door pointing yeah yeah that'll happen so Gavin wants to paint the image that two January 6 participants were killed in the past week to tell the audience that they're under threat the fact that they were involved in January 6th is supposed to be related to the fact that these both of these people
Starting point is 00:51:40 were killed and it was involved in the fact that they're dead but if you take a second to consider the facts, this argument falls apart. For one, neither death had anything to do with their status as a J6er. Second, one of the deaths happened in early October, not in the past week. Third, though both deaths were probably avoidable and unnecessary tragedies, they both involved circumstances that are not mysterious. One was a guy who resisted arrest and the other was a woman who threatened people serving her with paperwork with a shotgun.
Starting point is 00:52:08 If you know the details, then you hear Gavin present the story the way he does, you have to conclude one of two things. Either he knows the details too and is willfully lying about the story for his own manipulative purposes or he's just seen some dipshit post inaccurate information on social media and he doesn't care about this stuff any deeper than that. He'll just repeat whatever works for him. Either way, Gavin McGinnis is a giant piece of shit that no one should take seriously. And honestly, I mean, look, there's no standards, but I think it's embarrassing that Alex is
Starting point is 00:52:40 having him on. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I think Alex should be above this. He's an embarrassing little loser, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I think Alex should be above this. He's an embarrassing little loser, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, well.
Starting point is 00:52:48 Boy, that thing about guns. You know, I think, and I don't think this is a controversial thought. There are very, very, very few and very specific situations where a gun makes things better. The vast majority, see the problem is telling the difference between those very, very, very few, very, very, very specific situations
Starting point is 00:53:11 and all other situations. And when people have guns, they tend to make that confusion a lot more damaging. That's what I would say. I don't think that maybe you, there's, maybe you don't need to answer the door with a shotgun. That's not the most appropriate time for a...
Starting point is 00:53:28 It's probably escalatory. Yeah. I think, granted, you know, it's your own house. You have, you know, stand your ground laws or whatever the fuck. Your home is your castle and all that nonsense. But yeah, it seems like this is going to... It's going to heat the pot. It's going to heat things up.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Maybe just don't open the door yeah maybe I won't open this door it is locked so Alex has a complaint about all the left people on Twitter and stuff and all social media yeah and I think it's an interesting complaint yeah cuz it's about him these women particularly are all over the internet I'm not even looking for it I see see it. They're like, oh, Trump's going down. He's going to get arrested. It's all over or he's going to get assassinated tomorrow. And they are just full on delusional.
Starting point is 00:54:14 The allegations are so mentally ill that I want to like talk to them and understand what the hell they're talking about. So Alex should be careful about this criticism here. It's easy to mock people holding out hope that some magical solution is going to present itself and solve the problem of Trump being president, like people on Twitter thinking that he's going to be arrested or killed. But this mockery cuts both directions. Alex sells his audience exactly the same thing, just in different packaging.
Starting point is 00:54:39 He also spends so much time obsessing about the idea that Trump could be killed. The only difference is that Alex is exploiting his audience's fear as opposed to the other side trying to capitalize on misguided hope. And to illustrate this point, I'd like to take you on a little time travel adventure. Let's take a look. All the way back to six minutes before this last clip that I played. Six minutes before this last clip? Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:01 And if we don't keep pushing, this is not a normal election. This is just us, you know turning the tide Then we're gonna be just like Bolsonaro. They're gonna they're gonna steal it again. They're gonna kill Trump You're really Smart guy on so many fronts and a visionary What are you most concerned about with Trump because he's obviously all in hitting on all cylinders. He's the real deal born again hard Knows that this is his one shot to turn things around but we have to understand we've got to back him what else think the bad guys may pull they're gonna try to kill him they tried to do it twice and they're not gonna
Starting point is 00:55:36 stop that doesn't end you don't get over an assassination and just relax and go well I blew it I guess I won't kill him anymore you ding-dongs are just playing the same game you understand it. You know what you're doing shut the fuck up yep anyway You ever read the New York magazine uh I don't know if I've ever read it from cover to cover But I do know it exists. Yes. Oh, huh. How's it doing well they recently put out a version issue. A version. A version.
Starting point is 00:56:08 And it's gotten the people on the right a little bit mad. Uh oh, what'd they do? Well, apparently they took a picture of a Trump party and they cropped out the black people in it. Motherfuckers. There were so many too, because when you crop a photo, you can crop out individual, you
Starting point is 00:56:26 know, it's not like there would be just one section where all the black people are, and then the rest of them would be white people making it very, very easy to crop out all the... That would be crazy. They'd be intermingled. Well, Gavin has some thoughts about this issue. Oh, okay. And one of the thoughts is that he really wants to fuck the lady on the cover of this
Starting point is 00:56:44 magazine. That'll help and the the New York magazine you're talking about New Yorker The the cruel kids they they called it and they cropped out the blacks as you say and you look at the picture There's no black people there your old instinct would be like wait wait. It's cropped old black people there now You just laugh and you go those those kids look great that chick in the bottom left she's like a 9.2 I'm married but I mean by our God's creature she's luscious can we pull that up please let's admire that one for bid let's just put her on the screen for us to show if my wife was to die in a plane crash God forbid I would obviously go through a period of morning at least a year and then I would maybe be willing to go on a date with
Starting point is 00:57:25 her. Well, look how happy she looks. She's just a goddess. She looks like they got a sticker on top the Capitol or something. She's so healthy. Look how healthy. This is a hit piece you're reading, by the way. This is supposed to make you hate them.
Starting point is 00:57:39 So this is something that Alex has been complaining about for a bit, but I don't really care. The New York Magazine ran a cover photo that was headlined, The Cruel Kids Table, about young Trump supporters. The article covers an influencer party from the night before the inauguration, and it doesn't say that everyone there was white, but that it was almost all white people. There's a wide shot of the cover, what ended up being the cover, that's published in the story and on the online edition of the piece, but it was cropped for the cover, what ended up being the cover, that's published in the story and on the online edition of the piece. But it was cropped for the cover image.
Starting point is 00:58:07 And folks like Alex and Gavin have decided that it was cropped to remove black people to push that narrative, some sort of narrative. The image is cropped how it was for pretty clear reasons. The picture has a natural center, which is a guy in a tux and his friends posing for a picture, which includes this lady that Alex and Gavin have a boner for
Starting point is 00:58:25 Great there are many editorial reasons why the image would be cropped this way But of course these guys know better and it's just another attack on the white man. That'll happen Also, why is Alex pretending he's not in the middle of a divorce? He's free to lust after this young lady if he wants he doesn't have to do this family man schtick The fuck is wrong with him? Ah, I don't know He doesn't have to do this family man shtick. The fuck is wrong with him? Ah, I don't know. And you know, sometimes they just remind you
Starting point is 00:58:47 that if you wanted to like really dig back into the past and the like causes and effects and the causes and effects and just follow that trail, you get back to a little website that's about whether or not your college friends are hot or not. Mm-hmm. You know?
Starting point is 00:59:04 It all goes back there. And then they just bring that back right up to the present day. And you're like, we should have, we could have learned. We could have learned. And we could have cut it off when it was the Facebook. Could have been like, oh, hot or not, unacceptable is what it is. Yeah. Yup.
Starting point is 00:59:20 So they talk a little bit more about this New York Magazine article. And Gavin's just like like I don't know. He's he's trying to be shocking and Offensive sure he's doing the same blah It's another another Allegation is that someone brought a dog and it it went to the bathroom on the carpet Oh, no, and then other people are like jumping through the velvet ropes And she goes I'm sneaking in like a little Mexican or someone else said, ah, this is retarded. And as this it's written by this trans freak. And as he's writing it, he expects that he expects us all to go, oh
Starting point is 00:59:54 my Lord, but those are ancient tropes. Those are all dead. You're talking about meat on a rhino skull that has long been devoured by beetles. And we just laugh when we see it now. So they really are out of steam. I don't know, it is a golden age. What Gavin means is that there's no longer a social cost to being a bigot. That's what he's celebrating. There's no higher value or accomplishment
Starting point is 01:00:19 that's been reached. No one's life is materially better for it. It's just fine to say slurs in public now. There's no reason you should worry about people judging you for expressing hate. There's no social cost." I have no idea what he's talking about with that dog thing, but the other part is referring to this in the article. Quote,
Starting point is 01:00:36 This set's most visible political stance is a reaction to what it sees as the Left's puritanical obsessions with policing language and talking about identity. A joke about Puerto Ricans or eugenics or sleeping with Nick Fuentes could throw a pack of smokers outside Butterworths into a giggle fest. Recounting her time at one of the balls, a woman tells me that she jumped the velvet rope into a VIP section, quote, like a little Mexican. Then she lets out a cackle. This is the posture that has attracted newcomers to the cause.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Quote, six months into Biden being president, I was like, I can't fucking do this anymore, says a 19 year old New Yorker who once quite literally had blue hair and attends Marymau Manhattan, which he describes as 70% women and 23% teesler. He had supported Biden, but quote, I hate watching the things I say. I took a much further horseshoe around this time. Later, a former Bernie supporter who looked like most Bernie supporting people one could imagine with long curly hair and a plaid shirt told me the same. He wanted the freedom to say F and R, but not the-
Starting point is 01:01:42 No, no, I understand. The article itself is actually kind of an interesting discussion about this uptightness about language. I'll read to you one of the closing paragraphs. Quote, it's true that over the past few months since Trump was reelected, I had begun to feel these young conservatives' influence seeping into my own political circles like the substance. We no longer had any patience for the identity warriors on our timelines.
Starting point is 01:02:06 A friend and I started swapping Megyn Kelly on Instagram. We thought they were hilarious. Our favorite was her take on the fires in LA. Quote, the last thing I want to see if I'm in a burning building is A, a woman and B, an obese woman. I was unleashed. The R word fat jokes. No one, not, the R word, fat jokes. No one, not even the bleeding hearts I know, ever seemed to get all that offended. The only time I lost friends in the past year for political reasons was debating the war in Gaza.
Starting point is 01:02:35 And mostly, even if they wouldn't say it themselves, they chuckled. Oh my God, you're tacky for that one, one would text me back in those moments. It felt freeing, empowering, though perhaps in the same way that bullying someone does when you're in middle school. It would do Gavin some good to reflect a little bit on this aspect of his whole thing, but he can't really afford to at this point.
Starting point is 01:02:56 His entire business model is built on the foundation of being a middle school bully, so the way that this article in the New York magazine is actually kind of wrestling with, uh, you know, uptightness about language, the ways in which people who seem to really relish this are really just kind of enjoying bullying people. It's, it's unhealthy. It's freeing in an unhealthy way, maybe. I mean, nobody's ever, nobody's ever stopped you. You could always say the words. You could say them right now if you wanted to. Yeah. Why? And Gavin always has. Yeah like what it's just there's no reason to or not to. Right. Like it's okay I get that you're you're not allowed to say fuck on TV, right? And then whenever we're doing stand-up, there were people who would be like you shouldn't say fuck you can't work blue
Starting point is 01:03:48 Which great whatever I can't believe that we lived back in those days But yeah, so that happened and it's like it it doesn't mean anything more or less. No, you could say F slurs on stage, but not fuck. Mm-hmm F slurs on stage, but not fuck. Mm-hmm It's just you could still say fuck on stage But there would just be different things that happened like it didn't matter right you weren't cool or not cool You were just saying it We're not saying the the battle that Gavin and his dipshit friends have been fighting is essentially removing this social costs of saying
Starting point is 01:04:28 fighting is essentially removing the social costs of saying these slurs and behaving in these ways because they're acting like it's a free speech thing and everybody should be able to say whatever they want. But in reality, it's basically meant to mask people having really serious intention of excluding certain groups of people from the public space. And you can pretend all he wants that like it's we're being funny. The concept behind it that they're undermining that they obviously wouldn't understand because they were lying is that they were the ones who were being excluded. You're excluding us by getting rid of us just because we love calling you slurs. That's rude.
Starting point is 01:05:10 We're being excluded. And now that we're in the other situation, they're like, isn't it great we get to call people slurs and they can't do anything to us? Like, what are you doing? Yeah. And I mean, if he'd read that full article, he would have heard this perspective of It looks you know my friends aren't really all that offended by any of this nonsense No, and and no one really is all that sensitive right generally speaking But they are sensitive to you know the public you're not being edgy. No no one gives a shit There's not there's not really that much edge here. This is your identity. This is about you. Yeah. Stop
Starting point is 01:05:49 making it about other people. Yeah. I mean you have censored dot TV is your website. What are we doing? That's all you need to know. Grow up. So Paul F. Tompkins probably. Sure. Bob Odenkirk maybe. Of course. David Cross. Definitely three people who did some work together possibly with another person who was at January 6th John Ennis Not him. No, no Tom Kenny. No Tom cats not there Marylyn Raj cup definitely not she was in 24 Let's see who Was in one episode of mr.. Show Jack Black was in a couple sure sure
Starting point is 01:06:30 Scott Aukerman sure BJ Novak absolutely No, none of these people at J6. This is a list of people who will not stand up for Jay Johnson Hollywood and not just the elites like even the cool hipster crowd, there was a benefit for comedians who were suffering. And they didn't include Jay Johnston, even though the people who were doing the benefit were members of his show, Mr. Show. And they excluded him from the Jay Sixer, even though no one needs more money in the Hollywood comedy scene than him. And they excluded him from the J6er, even though no one needs more money in the Hollywood
Starting point is 01:07:05 comedy scene than him. So all of these cool Hollywood comedians, they will be the last to give it up. Of course, judges in our polluted justice system. Like with Nick Oakes, who I believe you've had on, Nick Oakes has been, he beat the case. It wasn't pardoned. This is before pardoning. He beat the case. And now his judge is saying, well, okay, you beat that charge.
Starting point is 01:07:27 I'm going to bring nine new charges. This has never been done in American history where a dead case all of a sudden comes back to life with new random charges thrown in. Because our justice system is Venezuelan. No, you're right. You're right. It's going to be the law fair and the fake charges, but he's purging the just department. That's good. the He says, Captain America has nothing to do with America, doesn't represent America. Let's say Michael Jordan isn't associated with basketball. I mean, what the hell?
Starting point is 01:08:09 He just ruined his movie. And cause he's clinging to this, he assumes by the way, that everyone else hates America as much as him, and this won't hurt the sales. Dude, you just tanked your movie to virtue signal. To virtue signal, man, I'd like to apologize. It was BJ Porter, not BJ Novak. I was gonna say, I realized that later. I was like, no, that's to virtue signal man. I'd like to apologize. It was BJ Porter. Not BJ. No, I was gonna say
Starting point is 01:08:28 Yeah, so there's no reason that people on mr Show need to support Jay Johnson if they don't want to be part of his whole trying to overthrow an election thing It's kind of comes off as whiny entitlement from Gavin here. And I feel like It's kind of against his brand. There's a slight difference in being like, oh, let's do a benefit for comedians who are struggling in the aftermath of one of the worst natural disasters that they've ever had to experience. And then like, but also we should support a comedian who tried to overthrow the United States government.
Starting point is 01:08:58 Now, I guess if Jay Johnson lost his home in a fire. Like then maybe he should be part of a beneficiary of the funds that people were raising money for. Of course, regardless of what happened to Jay Six, but you're asking for- You don't have to help him raise his legal fees. These are the consequences of your actions, not of fire. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:20 So also Gavin is lying through his teeth about Nick Oaks. He didn't beat his case. I'm just going to read you hear this from the DOJ press release. Okay. Quote, Nicholas Oakes, 36 of Honolulu pleaded guilty on September 9th, 2022 in the District of Columbia to obstruction of an official proceeding and was sentenced today to 48 months in prison, followed by 36 months of supervised release. Oakes entered the Capitol unlawfully. He recorded himself smoking cigarettes in the Capitol. He recorded his friend writing, murder the media on the Chestnut Gibson Memorial door
Starting point is 01:09:53 to the Capitol. That'll happen. He rummaged through a cop's duffel bag and stole a pair of handcuffs. And then he recorded himself saying, quote, sorry, we couldn't go live when we stormed the fucking US Capitol and made Congress flee. In retrospect, That does sound bad It looks bad. Yeah, Nick was super guilty and that's why he pled guilty Yeah, and then Trump pardoned him so Gavin's wrong and lying about everything here
Starting point is 01:10:14 Wow as for these new charges him and his friend were charged with a new superseding conspiracy charge based on some new evidence Some of the new information that was learned from this case, Nick threw smoke grenades at cops at the Capitol. Sure. In advance of the day he texted his friend quote the odds are with us because of the Supreme Court boys I'm pro-violence but don't blow your load too soon. Well he also live streamed himself saying quote viewers we have some good news we have just peeked through this window and on the television the headline reads that Congress stopped the vote when we stormed the Capitol and as we've been saying all day we came here to stop the steal that really goes a long way toward proving conspiracy intent
Starting point is 01:10:57 premeditation planning all of that shit also Oaks is the founder of the Hawaii branch of the proud boys. So yeah Yeah, that one does track now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I guess I guess my my vibe has always been like All right, so you're the rebels, right? You're trying to defeat the Empire you lose You don't take down the Death Star. You get captured. The moon base explodes. Everybody's fucked. And then you, but they're not like, well, why did we get in trouble? The law says, no, you fucking tried. Eat it. You know, you win or you die. This is the problem. This is the problem with the Game of Thrones, Dan. No, that's not the problem. Exactly. this is a problem with the game of Thrones Dan
Starting point is 01:11:50 No, that's not the problem exactly. That's the one problem the game of Thrones does not have yeah The most important rule seems to have been lost on us I mean There's a piece of me that agrees with that But then I got lost in thought when you're comparing them to the rebels of how fucking sad I got lost in thought when you're comparing them to the rebels of how fucking sad It would be if there's just like a hologram of someone being like Gavin Mcginnis. You're our only hope How fucking much of a bummer let's not think about the future cat turd we like you for now long long time ago Need RFK
Starting point is 01:12:29 Bomber so Gavin has some complaints has some complaints about arguing with the left. Sure. I think a little bit of this is projection. I don't like how we have to know their misconceptions. They'll bring up things in a debate and you'll go, wait, what? I never heard that. And then you have to go look it up and realize, oh no, that's BS. Like Trump reads Hitler before he goes to bed. Like Obama apprehended 10,000 illegals and deported them. Like Obama had the greatest success rate out of any president ever. Liberals lie so much,
Starting point is 01:12:59 and it's so disingenuous, that you end up after a debate with a homework assignment. No, you're right. They have all these canons that aren't based in truth. Alex Jones peed on graves or sent people to, and we get them on the stand to go, who peed, we don't know. Somebody told me, well, who told you, I don't know. And it's just a cannon. It's just a, Trump said all Hispanics are evil.
Starting point is 01:13:17 Where's the video? So now you have to know what they're talking about. Like when they said all that stuff that the Howard Stern guy imitating you said, you have to be familiar with that Howard Stern episode now and say, no, no, no, that's a misconception. That was a comedian doing an imitation of me. I never said that. Wow, you're sophisticated. I never told that story because I forget about it. Yeah, one of the myths that I did all this was Howard Stern himself and a guest sat there in my voice
Starting point is 01:13:46 saying horrible things about the dead kids and then that just becomes something too. It shows up in court. So it really feels like this would be a good time to bring up a podcast that's been running for over eight years which includes a host who consulted with one of the Sandy Hook cases but oh well. Yeah, it doesn't seem important. Gavin and Alex are engaging in pure projection here. The only way they're able to make any points at all is by creating an entirely imaginary
Starting point is 01:14:09 world that their arguments get to live in, full of code and lore that no one outside of this bubble understands. If you're someone who took human trafficking seriously but didn't engage with right-wing misinformation circles and social media, you'd have no idea what they were talking about when they started grandstanding about 300,000 missing kids from the border. It's shorthand for Alex and Gavin, but if you don't know what their narrative is about this, it's very difficult to respond to it on the fly. They exploit this dynamic as a matter of policy, and now I guess Gavin wants to pretend everyone
Starting point is 01:14:41 else is guilty of it. But essentially, he's describing what the experience of listening to Alex's stupid show is yeah You have a homework assignment because you all this nonsense Shit, he's rattling off. Yeah. Yeah some of the examples that are used here are that like Alex peed on someone's grave No one's ever seriously alleged this one of the parents of a child who was killed at Sandy Hook Testified that they'd received harassing mail claiming that the person had peed on their child's grave and that they were going to dig it up.
Starting point is 01:15:10 Alex knows this is monstrous stuff, and that the person who was terrorizing this parent this way was doing so because they were convinced of conspiracies about crisis actors that he profited from promoting. It would be a serious blow to Alex's ego to accept that he did that, and that this is a side effect of that, that his parent experienced something that no one should ever have to feel. So instead of taking that blow to the ego, he's come up with a fake version of the accusation that he uses as a strawman to defend himself. Alex says that he's never peed on a child's grave because it's unrelated to what he's actually accused
Starting point is 01:15:42 of and it allows him to portray his critics as sensationalists And I can say with a great deal of certainty because I've seen a ton of the evidence and discovery material Nothing that Alex was accused of in any of these lawsuits traces back to something that an impressionist said on Howard Stern's show He's this coward bullshit. Yeah fucking seriously come on guys. Yeah. Yeah, this is ridiculous. What are you doing? I mean, I do think that he points out a very obvious problem with debate culture though and seriously, come on guys. Yeah. Yeah, this is ridiculous. What are you doing? I mean, I do think that he points out a very obvious problem with debate culture though. It's very simple and easy to go like, yeah, yeah, that's a massive flaw. Maybe we shouldn't do that.
Starting point is 01:16:15 Yeah. No, it's, it is, he, he, he points to why there will be no sort of friction between false realities or unshared realities. If there is no reality, then my version of it stands. You've got your guys, I've got my guys. When I read my guys, they make me sound smart. When you read your guys, they make you sound smart. Never the twain shall meet.
Starting point is 01:16:40 And I'll yell at you about my guys when we encounter each other and then hooray. That'll be it. No one gets anything done. Nope. Everyone gets hurt. Yep. So these people are cool.
Starting point is 01:16:52 They're actually very cool and it's very important you know that. And socially forward thinking. Of course they are. Yeah. They drive the culture. They don't really care what you do in your bedroom. Absolutely not. Progress is about killing the...
Starting point is 01:17:05 Wait, what were we talking about? I think Gavin might accidentally reveal he cares a little bit. Oh yeah? Yeah. A big thing this cult does too is they start with these really simple motherhood statements, these platitudes like love is love. And you go, that sounds reasonable to me. So a gay man loves a gay man, shouldn't they be able to be together?
Starting point is 01:17:25 And I think we're all pretty socially liberal in 2025. So we go, yeah, I mean, as long as they're not hurting anyone, sure. And then you start seeing the corruption creep in where they're terrorizing some Christian baker or some Christian venue for weddings. And you realize, and their divorce rate is like 95%. And they don't, they're not interested in- And they're adopting kids in many cases
Starting point is 01:17:44 to rape them and put them in sex rings. And you go, wait a minute, you lied. rate is like 95% and they don't, they're not interested in the kids and they're not monogamous. And they're adopting kids in many cases to rape them and put them in sex rings. And you go, wait a minute, you lied. You said that love is love. I believed you. So love isn't love then. So that was, you don't believe, you're not, you don't believe that, that was all a trick, right?
Starting point is 01:18:02 That's what your position is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You fooled me by making me believe that you were like me, but it turns out you're corrupt and evil. So all the things that I feel like I wanted to do to you back then that I felt bad about wanting to do to you. I should do those. Now I feel very justified in doing them all because of something that has nothing to do with you whatsoever.
Starting point is 01:18:23 I have created a system wherein my bigotry is justified so I don't have to feel bad about all this shit It is really funny how that was Congratulations. Yeah Wow and who would have thought it would take a genius like Gavin to come up It is so crazy how it turns out that the smart thing Here's what's crazy about all of these people that I've experienced so far up to this point Is it's so crazy how it turns out the thing that they want the most in life also happens to be the smartest thing that only rational people would believe. And the only right thing.
Starting point is 01:18:54 The only right thing. In fact, it's obvious that the thing that they want specifically for them that would hurt a ton of other people, of course, but for their own good, it's also the smartest and best thing to do. Right. And like, this formulation that he's making is like, ah, yes, it sounds like a path someone might go down. I'm such a reasonable person. But like, you didn't think love is love sounded right to begin with.
Starting point is 01:19:19 Nope. You were mad about that then, and now you've figured out a way to justify, and there's no social cost for being just outwardly homophobic. Nope. In this way so you can just do it. Yeah. You know I wonder how much of this really is like a lot of what we're experiencing is a reaction to the internet. It's a reaction to people some of it who would otherwise never have known these other people existed suddenly being forced into the same public square and realizing that we should not live together.
Starting point is 01:19:52 Well, I think probably there's some little piece of that, but then there's another piece of it that more closely implicates Gavin, which is like the internet has allowed a lot of people who are vapid and really not that talented to create attention grabbing stuff. There's a way to hijack people's attention and make a lot of money off that. And Gavin's an example of someone who does that in a way that it tends towards bigotry. Yeah. So, and the internet wouldn't exist without the internet. It's the people who have an instinct towards exploiting anything
Starting point is 01:20:36 that found exploiting the internet to be the greatest gold mine that's ever been. Yeah. So Gavin is a little bit worried. Yeah. But not about not about Trump. Not really. Not worried about all that. He's worried that his enemies are too weak. Oh, that sucks. I hate it when that happens. Yeah. I'll tell you what, I'm more concerned about the liberals. I want a better sparring partner. I'm embarrassed for them.
Starting point is 01:20:59 Say you knew a gang like the Hells Angels and their their worst adversary, their biggest rival was a bunch of eight year olds on BMX bikes. That would look bad on the Hells Angels and their worst adversary, their biggest rival was a bunch of eight year olds on BMX bikes. That would look bad on the Hells Angels. And right now our enemies are such complete losers that it's almost making us look bad. Like, hey, liberals out there, focus on our weak points. We are awarding CEOs like $800 million when they bankrupt a country and this is when the employees of that company can't feed their kids. That's a good attack on us and capitalism.
Starting point is 01:21:30 Talk about our incompetent healthcare system that both the left and the right is terrible at. Republicans haven't fixed healthcare. Why don't you attack us on that? Attack Trump on infrastructure. Half the roads in this country look like they're in Iraq. Do we even fix the Baltimore Bridge yet? What is that? Is it a rope bridge? There's intelligent leftist things. I'm at the point now where Bernie Madoff, who is just a special needs person
Starting point is 01:21:55 who doesn't know what a calculator is, he's the intellectual of the left. That's how bad things are. So guys, come on is with something good. I think you met Bernie Sanders But that that makes way more sense. Yeah, cuz I was like really confused about that very I thought my my news Yeah, okay, so this is cute, but Gavin's kind of giving up the game here There are plenty of people on the left who criticize the government for all of the things that he's bringing up He's pretending that voice doesn't exist and it's a shame because he could really use that tool to keep his debating skills sharp. But the reality is that he exists in a no man's land of ideas. Very few people who take any of this shit seriously would ever talk to him, which leaves
Starting point is 01:22:36 his sparring partner roster filled mostly with people who do this stuff primarily for attention and clicks. That pool is probably going to be largely disappointing, and if Gavin wasn't Gavin, he might have access to a better list of folks to debate, but he has to understand that the low quality of people who would associate with him is kind of his own fault. He's an embarrassing dude, to the point where even winning a debate against him is kind of a net negative, because you had to be there. You had to be involved in the head with him, and that, I don't know, there's a lot of people who you had to be there. You had to be involved in that with him and that,
Starting point is 01:23:06 I don't know, there's a lot of people who really want to do that. Yeah. You know, I was thinking about this because this reminded me of the Greenwald conversation, the whenever I harassed Greenwald for a while. It reminded me of that because it's like only an idiot would fight with me. So the only people who want to fight with me are idiots. You know, like, yeah, Gavin, I understand that you don't hear intelligent arguments a lot, maybe, if that's your even premise. But that's because nobody wants to speak to you. So whomever is speaking to you, it's a very self-selected pool of arguments that you might
Starting point is 01:23:46 get. Right. And like, he also is self-selecting and then he doesn't want to have like a serious dry conversation with someone who will push back accurately on these points and the things that are a problem about him. He wants to go and like yell at destiny or something like that. That's fine. I want to feel smart for saying things. I don't want to have to think about him. He wants to go and like yell at destiny or something like that. That's fine. I want to feel smart for saying things. I don't want to have to think about things. Yeah. That's the level of, don't lament it. That's the course that you've taken.
Starting point is 01:24:16 That's the thing that you like to do. Yes. Like the idea of like, oh, learning something is not something they like to do. Right. Gavin exists to be the third interview that Ye does after he decides he's a Nazi and starts wearing a... That's what you're for, buddy. ...mask over his face. Yep. He's the third guy that Ye will go to. Is he wearing the mask again, Ye?
Starting point is 01:24:39 No, I don't think so. Ah, shit. But back when he did, Gavin was number three. Number three. So close to number two. but sorry, Tim Poole is higher up on the ladder. Man, what a sad life. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 01:24:50 So he talks a little bit about who really got Trump elected. Okay. And yeah, it's a little bit. Aliens? No. Oh, you know, the guys who got Trump elected, you said I helped at the beginning of the show, and I'm sure that's true,
Starting point is 01:25:04 but who really pushed him over the edge is these kids that no one's seen. They're predominantly white. They're mostly Christian. You know, they don't drink that much. They're like 18 to 22. And the only time you saw them during up the election was that one kid who was screaming at the mayor of, was it Philadelphia? I forget the town, but he was, the mayor was trying to play with the barricades to stop people from having this Trump rally. And this guy was probably 19. He was tearing the mayor a new ass.
Starting point is 01:25:36 And I met these kids. I hung out with them. They didn't want to party as much as I did. And they were working like 19 hour days, nonstop the whole time. They set up MSG, they set up all the rallies, they're the ones behind the scenes and they were workaholics who got that made sure that the trains run on time during that campaign and these cruel kids at the table are our future and we have to sort of humble ourselves and say hey you guys are winning the
Starting point is 01:26:04 culture war what should we do? he mentions the cruel kids at the table which is the New York magazine article that they were so mad furious that the article said that there was mostly white people yeah but Gavin just said that these are mostly white well they're mostly white people and then he he's like they're the people who set up the Madison Square Garden rally which was a very obvious homage to Nazi bond now, and then he said he made the trains run on time Yeah, that was very reverence to another not another fascist. Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious what he's saying It does feel very I don't know if you've ever watched you know what I like I like Penn and Teller's fool us show
Starting point is 01:26:44 Where magicians show up on stage, and they try I like Penn and Teller's Fool Us show where magicians show up on stage and they try and fool Penn and Teller. They've got years of experience in magic. You can't fool Penn and Teller. You can though. Sometimes you can, you know? But if you can't fool Penn and Teller, then Penn will give you like a little speech at the end where he'll be very complimentary, but it'll sneak in a bunch of like, oh, I see that that was a facepalm thing. And you're like, ah, he knows that he's palming cards. That's how he knows the thing that's going on. It does not take several decades of expertise
Starting point is 01:27:15 in history or magic or really it takes having seen like a Bruce Willis movie to be like, oh, that's Nazi shit right there. It's really, it's pretty overt that he's like the Hitler youth did it. Yeah. That's about as Nazi shit as it gets. shit right there. It's really, it's pretty overt that he's like, the Hitler youth did it. Yeah, that's about as Nazi shit as it gets. Yeah. Great. There you go, buddy. So Alex loves one thing. Elon Musk. God damn it. I hate that we live in this world. Now here's the problem. Yeah. He's the worst.
Starting point is 01:27:39 Well, yeah, to the second problem. Gavin's still not back on Twitter. Oh. Thanks for having me, Alex. I'll definitely hook up with you when I'm in Austin accent compound censored is on Twitter, but I'm still banned Gavin under storm McKinney's still banned still too controversial. Wait a minute. You're still banned on on X Yeah, my company's in but Gavin personally I had quarter million followers and Elon thinks I'm too controversial I don't think it's come to his attention. I think I'm going to go out about this. Like please do.
Starting point is 01:28:10 Oh yeah, please. You can't possibly know about that. Elon loves free speech. Yeah. Shit. Gavin Mcginnis is still blocked. Oh no, it shouldn't be that hard. It shouldn't even be an ally.
Starting point is 01:28:24 Alex should just be like oh, yeah He doesn't give a shit about you. Yeah, you're nothing to him right you're Gavin McGinnis. Shut the fuck up. Yep. Yep But now we're gonna beg Elon now to get Gavin back on don't do it And then we get the announcement of another very exciting gas, okay Everybody needs to contact at Elon and nicely say hey Gavin has been set up he's a good guy just like Alex Jones set up just say bring him back on cuz you're a Nazi nice moderate because you wake people up Gavin talk to you soon thanks Alex all right Joe bigs I believe oh my god you he called us the night he got out and said look I'm just too freaked out I got
Starting point is 01:29:04 to see my daughter family in Florida but it as soon as I'm ready, I'll come on you first. So I think we've been on a show we know but I believe it's his first interview. True political president or true deep state hostage. It's like he's been in, you know, North Korean or North Vietnamese torture chamber literally the last three years and all the hell he's been through. Good friend of mine. He's coming up. I don't care about Joe Biggs. I don't care about Rambo Joe. He seems like someone who's had a rough time. He never was great to begin with. Back when he was an employee of Infowars back in the day and what have you, he never seemed like he had the best head on his shoulders.
Starting point is 01:29:46 But, he now, like, the conversation that they have, he seems like he had a tough time being in prison. Sure. Which is understandable. It's not an easy experience to go to prison. They're not great places. I think he might be processing some of that. Sure. The being away from his family. You know, I wouldn't be too shocked if he has some level of PTSD from the whole experience.
Starting point is 01:30:09 It's borderline why they do it. And I don't really want to mock that, necessarily. Sure. I think that Joe Biggs is not relevant in any way outside of he used to work at a low capacity for Alex and then became the leader of a street gang. Yeah, he's not explicably He's not that interesting. He doesn't bring a ton to the table Probably wasn't a great leader of that street gang to be honest, right? And so when he's on with Alex He's talking a bit about how like he met a bunch of people in prison and he wants to dedicate Moving forward to helping give them a voice Okay, as if all these men that he met are all wrongly incarcerated. And like, look, I don't think that's true.
Starting point is 01:30:50 I don't think that's real. Sure. I think a lot of the people in prison also are probably lying to him about like how they got jammed up. Sure. Or whatever. For sure.
Starting point is 01:30:59 But if he just wants to deal with like, carceral reform, I'm not gonna be, I don't wanna be a dick about that. Yeah If in the same way that when Alex got a DUI and he's like, I'm going to crusade against unjust DUIs, it's like, well, you're full of shit. But I don't have a problem with what you're saying. Yeah. I mean, I, in a certain sense, there is a part of me that's like, well, I mean, listen, it's not like these are career criminals who are like making a life of robbing banks or anything. There was a very specific reason that they committed that crime.
Starting point is 01:31:34 And without that reason, they probably won't commit the same crime on account of you can't. Well, but I don't actually, I don't agree with that line of thinking because I do think that there's still a danger that people like Enrique Tarrio Oh for sure! with short roads and Oh no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no But whatever, I feel like I don't have any say or stake in Trump giving them a commutation of their sentences. Sure. And as long as he's out, if he's not fighting with people, I feel like get back in touch
Starting point is 01:32:16 with your family, grow, whatever. I don't care. But- Title card, Never Seen From Again. Why is Never Seen From Again not a perfectly acceptable way to go yeah so it was a little bit strange listening to joe's interview um but alex is not treating this with the respect that he should i mean he did spend a lot of time in prison he did for joe yeah and he used to live he used to work with him for wars Wars their buddies. Yep So here's here's just a little taste of that. Okay, just just having that
Starting point is 01:32:48 I'll never forget the the day that the rally was happening though in Pennsylvania I actually didn't know that that was going on. We were on lockdown and I'd been probably stuck in my cell for going on a month and We got the TV turned on and I see Trump out there at a rally speaking and then I look away and then when I look back I see everybody around them and they're like around somebody and they're moving and I look at myself and I go man there must be some dumb guy in there trying to start something they're pulling that guy out of there. I guarantee you the Secret Service is going to beat that dude up. And then it goes, breaking news, President Trump assassinated or something like that. And I go, what? And it goes back
Starting point is 01:33:35 to a replay and it shows him drop down to the ground. And I literally screamed, my knees gave out and I was like, and I fell down in my like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I
Starting point is 01:33:48 was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was
Starting point is 01:33:53 like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like,
Starting point is 01:33:57 I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, this is so powerful go back to that moment again this millisecond millisecond, you know your
Starting point is 01:34:05 Future literally of justice and wronged and the lies and the fraudulence everything's hanging in the balance on this man and the American people rallying behind him and then Yeah, they're announcing he's been killed and then when they knew they failed and they said oh, no, he wasn't killed He wasn't shot at and Google a month and a half later would even say it happened So yeah, they were really intended to get him that day. Go back to that moment. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it. I mean, it was, it was, it was a, it was a horrible day for me. Um, you know, everybody came up to me throughout the day, uh, and asking, like checking on me,
Starting point is 01:34:39 you know, when, uh, they would walk by the cell, you know, what's going on, you know, do you have any more updates? Do you know what's going on? Have you seen anything or people come up and tell me, hey, I think he's okay. So there was a lot of support. But I'll tell you when I saw that replay and I saw him grab his head and drop to the ground,
Starting point is 01:35:00 I just, I sank down to my knees and I thought that was it. I thought my life was over. You knees and I thought that was it I thought my life was over you know I thought that was that was it and it was frightening what was it like very scary what was it like a minute later when he popped back up Alex is eating lunch I mean god it's disrespectful what's crazy is that that really is now that I've heard it like I hadn't considered it from his point of view before now that I've now that I've thought about it through his eyes, that's a incredible thing to feel like to actually be a person who's who can say like my Legitimate future depends on whether or not this man becomes president. Yeah, and then to see him potentially assassinated
Starting point is 01:35:44 What a fucking moment. Well, sure. I mean, like, crazy. Well, because Joe Biggs has the awareness of what Joe Biggs did. Right. He knows, like, right. If everything goes sensibly, I'll never get out of this now. Well, I mean, you know, I should be dead. I should be dead based on the crimes that I committed against the country that I live in. Right, right. My coup failed. I know what I did.
Starting point is 01:36:09 All my buddies know. According to us, it's treason. So if we were reversing the situation and the leftists tried to... They'd be dead. Now, we got this long shot that the guy that I tried to overthrow the government for could get back into office and he would let me out of prison crazy it's my movie living in that headspace would be very strange it is interesting and it's there is a there is a part of listening to Joe that is pretty
Starting point is 01:36:37 compelling from that standpoint but now if you take the other element of it where Alex is listening to this guy describe this shit and he's just eating his lunch. I mean it's just it's he's not taking him seriously. That's the part that is mind-boggling to me is that and I think it's indicative of who they... You care more about Joe's story than Alex. No I that's but that's indicative of who is at the core of this of the problem. Like, based on just what Joe said, I can factor in all the things that he's done throughout his life to like, listen, we're not gonna hang out or anything like that.
Starting point is 01:37:14 But that story is something that brings about such a huge amount of curiosity for me because you are still a human being in this obscene situation. Like an incredible situation. And you can't, like if somebody else told me, oh, whenever Trump went down, I screamed and I fell on my knees, I would be like, that's stupid.
Starting point is 01:37:37 You're being overly theatrical, except for not him. But in this case, yeah, that's your only hope, man. And the fact that Joe is able to really identify that, like, he's my only way out of here. Yeah. He's aware of it. It's amazing. That is a really interesting story.
Starting point is 01:37:52 And if I were Alex, I would be far more empathetic. Then I'm more just curious. I would be like, how does it feel? You'd think, because they're friends. Yeah. But then on top of that, I'd be extremely curious. Yeah. That's crazy. And it's catching up with an old buddy like like instead
Starting point is 01:38:09 Wants Joe to fill time so he can chew totally I was I've been reading this this biography on Joe Cahill and like he did time while he was in the IRA and just hearing those stories about The stuff that they that that that the outside world would happen during World War II, and it would just be like a thing that happened before phones, before TV, before anything, and you would just not know, you know? What a fascinating thing to know in real time.
Starting point is 01:38:40 That could be my only chance at getting out of prison. Just got shot in in that that's crazy Yeah, that's crazy, and then when he's not dead it's like back from the day. I know There'll be you have a heart attack. What a crazy. That's crazy. It is yeah, it is yeah, so anyway I don't really care about the rest of Joe big nope fuck off But I thought that was disrespectful yeah, and I feel bad for Joe Great I feel bad for us. Yeah, we're not getting a really interesting story out of him Damn, I think there's a lot there probably yeah, if you're a good interviewer. You could probably tease it out
Starting point is 01:39:15 So there's a lot going on in the world sure and I don't know if we got into a whole lot of it I think we nailed it Alex got mad that the RFK hearing was boring. 29th, yep. Steven Crowder, Kevin McGinnis, and Rambo Joe Biggs all stopped by to be full of shit. What a world. Yep. So we'll see if we'll get to some real meaningful stuff
Starting point is 01:39:38 in the next episode, but until then, we have a website. Indeed we do, it's knowledgefight.com. Yep, I'll be back. But until then, I'm Leo. I'm Leo. I'm DZX Clark. I am the mysterious professor. Woo yeah woo yeah woo!
