Starting point is 00:00:00 Music It's time to pray. I have great respect for knowledge fight knowledge I'm sick of them posing as if they're the good guys saying we are the bad guys knowledge Knowledge fight Need money Hey everybody, welcome back to Knowledge Fight. I'm Dan. I'm Jordan. We're a couple dudes that like to sit around, worship at the the altar of Selene and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. Oh, indeed we are Dan. Jordan. Dan. Jordan. Quick question for you. What's up? What's your bright spot today buddy? My bright spot today, I warned on the last episode. You did. That the world and you in particular and everybody, honestly, I'm not trying to single you out.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Wait, wait, the world and me and everybody. And everybody. I realized that I had put too much of a focus on you and there's no reason to. It does seem excessive. It's a universal thing. I'm here though. Yeah. I can't talk to the whole world. They're not here. No. Yeah. But everyone's not ready for what my bright spot was last episode. Right. Okay. Are we now? We could be. Oh man, this is dangerous. It's honestly now the ball is in your court. Okay to figure out what it is Something is not as it normally is um is it that you have finished the buttons no No, although I should make a comment on that
Starting point is 00:02:01 Finally got the last of the buttons out. It took forever because expensive, annoying, disheartening to have a bunch of them not show up places, and I didn't know about non-machinable stamps early on in the process of doing this, and so getting that I think probably helped. No, but that is not it. That is not what the bright spot is. All right. Let's see. Oh, I don't know. I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:02:32 You're asking me to notice things and that's the one thing that I'm the worst at. I can give a false one while you think. Okay. About what it could be. It could be anything to me. There's a bakery called Loaves and Witches that's run by witches that I'll give a shout out to.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Okay. Alright. Uh... This is crazy. I don't know. I don't know. Did you get a haircut? No. I'll give you a hint. It has something to do with the Wu-Tang Clan's first single off their Iron Flag album? Are you wearing a ring?
Starting point is 00:03:09 Boom! What are you doing? I got a pinky ring! Why did you get a pinky ring? Why not? Fair enough. Yeah. I have no arguments with you.
Starting point is 00:03:18 But I do think you weren't ready for that. I was not ready for a pinky ring. You didn't notice. I got a pinky ring. I mean, I didn't know that you were a British gangster in the 1930s. So, it was, but now that I've learned that, now we can move forward.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Well, based on my clue, it was either a pinky ring or an Uzi. One of the two. Based on the Wu-Tang title. I was interested for a little bit there, to be honest, if it was an Uzi. I got this pinky ring because I've never accessorized really sure and I'm thinking maybe it's time maybe I should I've always I don't judge other people
Starting point is 00:03:54 for accessorizing but I've always felt like an internal sense of like this is fake sure this is false this is me right know, I'm adding on something for a look naturally or whatever. So the first branching out of it is this this pinky ring is a FFA. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Future Farmers of America. I like it. Yeah. Let me tell you something. First off, I want to applaud you. Thank you. Because the logical step, not logical, the most common step for people in your scenario is earring. And you would have looked terrible with an earring. Well, I also have like this weird lobe on my right ear.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Oh, do you? Yeah, yeah, see that strange little, it looks like someone tore an earring out of my ear at some point. Ah, okay. I have no idea why that's going on. Because did somebody tear an earring out of your ear? Maybe okay, but no I I don't think I would I don't think I would go hearing not because I'm against it sure But because pinky ring I know a little funnier I I don't disagree with you and earring is sadder earring has strong weekend dad vibes to it
Starting point is 00:05:00 You know like oh, we just got divorced and I'm out there again that's kind of thing yeah this doesn't no that has like maybe you owe me hundreds of dollars kind of energy exactly it could go either way British gangster in the 1930s so it's your bread spot did you bet on a fight recently oh yeah okay all right one of the bare-knuckle ones? Okay? Wow not totally bad I mean, I think what's funny about my bright spot is I think it's an equal Affectation is that you got that ghost face killer eagle? No, I'm getting my tattoo finished tomorrow. Oh fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah my my artist we we had
Starting point is 00:05:44 Almost finished it We were a couple hours away, and then she went and had a whole baby on me. Yeah So now I guess they I guess she kept it or it's gone whichever it is that gives her enough time to finish my tattoo I'm excited. That's great. I actually cut I had in my head thought you'd already finished it, so I'm glad to hear you It's just like it's just like a few little bits of color here and there Yeah, but just finishing it getting it all the way done Here's the thought that I have was that if you are a tattoo artist. Yeah, and you have a baby Yeah, do you ever like consider like tattoo that baby exactly? Yeah, what age can you tattoo the baby?
Starting point is 00:06:24 I think you tattoo the baby I think you tattoo the baby at any age no because I have to be able to choose their tattoo they have to I was gonna write things to remember you know I was gonna go full memento with it well I mean if you put their name on the baby that help you can prove that it's them that is for sure yours to yeah, maybe a barcode I would definitely put a barcode We'll get there. Yeah, we'll get there. Yeah, so Jordan today. We have an episode to go over. Yes, we're talking about February 3rd 2025 all right all right this episode ends on a bummer Note that sounds right. It's very sad yeah
Starting point is 00:07:02 But are much like my tease of a of a bright spot We left on a cliffhanger with Alex's tease right of secret information right Trump has given him right right All right, will it pay off will it pay off will we even remember it? We're going to at the end of this episode rank it on from zero to pinky ring Where it falls, I don't know which is good which is bad. I don't either. Okay. Before we get to business let's take a little moment say hello to some new walks. That's a great idea. So first happy 30th birthday Jacob it's wild that there's not been a single day of your life where Alex Jones has not been doing what he does. You'll be forever my bright

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 titty baby.
Starting point is 00:08:38 I don't want to hate black people. I renounce Jesus Christ. Thank you so much. Yes, thank you very much. I really like before the episode I was like it's gonna be so obvious That I have a pinky wearing on you're talking to me No, I understand that and that's that was the game that was going on in my head is like Jordan is deeply oblivious But will he be able to pull it out in the moment? I did. I did. I got there in the end. Eventually.
Starting point is 00:09:05 I bet it took a while. I was put, I was brushing my hair aside, trying to put it right in your line of vision. I was honestly like, what is that on his hair every time you did? And it didn't occur to me that that was the thing. Yeah, never mind. Well, all right. I was like, is he okay? Well, all right. I was like, is he okay? All right.
Starting point is 00:09:25 So we'll start the show here with Alex. And he's talking about Trump's grand strategy that he's employing in this first two weeks in office. Okay. So today, I will early in the hour, get a little bit more into what the Trump grand strategy really is. I'll do it at the bottom of the hour. Come up at about 25 minutes.
Starting point is 00:09:49 But first I wanna talk about the big picture. Trump's been in exactly 14 days. 14 days ago at 1208 Eastern, 1108, the 14 days 14 days ago at 12 08. Eastern 11 08. A.m. 12. 08 p.m. East. He was inaugurated. And And in 14 days, he has way outperformed because of the people he's got helping them. Susie Wiles and Elon Musk and many others. And they understood that they were boldly taking on the corrupt, evil, but also collapsing
Starting point is 00:10:44 neoliberal globalist world order. And that order is done. It will never be reconstituted, no matter what they did. But if Trump doesn't succeed. And that we don't relaunch the American system is an example worldwide through soft power. Direct to a great extent the trajectory of humanity, society and
Starting point is 00:11:03 civilization will break up into a world order. And that order is done. It will never be reconstituted, no matter what system is an example worldwide, there's soft power direct to a great extent, the trajectory of humanity, society and civilization will break up into a bunch of feuding groups and power blocks. And it will constitute a very dangerous global destabilization of its own. So that's the big picture. That's the big picture. That's the big picture? Yeah. In what way is that the big picture?
Starting point is 00:11:31 Well, I think in essence, he's talking about like Pax Trumpana. Right. You know, like the peace through Trump. Sure. Stability in the world is guaranteed if we control the trajectory of everybody. And I think that's kind of like what I thought the globalists wanted to do. I'm fairly certain he's pulling a God Emperor of Dune right now. But it's soft power.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Like we're directing the entire future of humanity. And if we don't. And if we don't, I mean he's talking about Leto's golden path, obviously. Yeah, I think that's a little unhealthy Also, probably super unpredictable that this would be his mindset. Yeah Yeah, it does. It does give you little bits of like maybe whenever people say anything I should be like Oh, you're talking about what you think right? Especially when Alex keeps coming up with these super villain plots and he's like that's what I would do if I were them
Starting point is 00:12:25 Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah, now that you're fucking supervillain now that you're them. Yeah, that's what you're doing Yeah, yeah, it makes sense I respect the attempt to try and dress it up with these like terms like soft power And you know try and cushion the fall a little bit. I suppose I don't think It's doing the masking job that he wants to I think it's still pretty see-through. Do you really respect it? No Yeah, I didn't think so so something else. I don't respect is Elon dumb fuck musk sure and me and Alex differ on that point Oh, I can't believe it musk in the last week got partial control of the financial records and systems of the federal government
Starting point is 00:13:06 Saturday morning the federal government. The federal government was in the hands of the federal government. Of the financial records and systems of the federal government. Saturday morning, they had a rebellion at the Treasury Department. And over the
Starting point is 00:13:22 administrators that control the Treasury's payment had a record system. They had a record system. They had a government system and records system. So they had those people removed. Others resigned and must got control. Little bit before noon Eastern time. Saturday.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Since then, they have released. Hundreds of hundreds of thousands of documents and thousands of data dumps and just pointed out a selection of the fraud and crime and that itself is a avalanche, a tsunami, a flood, a deluge. So I know Alex is aware of the old Stalin quote that goes like, one death is a tragedy, a million's a statistic, because he's repeated it a ton of times on his show. He knows it. Yeah. The gist of that quote is that when you have a large number of deaths, you begin to lose the ability to see the details of each specific death, and your mind detaches from the reality that it's a ton of dead people
Starting point is 00:14:29 you're thinking about. One person's death can be grappled with as the loss of an individual, which your brain struggles to do with large groups. This dynamic is something that Alex exploits pretty regularly for his content. In this case, I would change that original quote to something along the lines of, one case of fraud is discussable, but a thousand is not. If Alex were just to report on a specific case of fraud that Musk has allegedly uncovered, it would be pretty easy to debunk the case he chose, and it would threaten to collapse
Starting point is 00:14:57 this whole story under its own weight. Because when there's one example, your brain can hold onto the details as an individual case, whereas your brain just can't process the image of a thousand examples of shit that you're supposed to assess. Alex is trying to sell you a pile of things because it's a really large pile, and that's kind of impressive on its own. He doesn't want the audience to look closer and realize it's a pile of shit, so we'll see if he actually provides examples of this fraud that Musk has supposedly
Starting point is 00:15:26 uncovered or if it's just a deluge. It's just an avalanche. You know, here's what I would say, right? Is if the first thing that I would do to like cut down on fraud and all that stuff, too much paperwork. What are we doing with hundreds of thousands of documents? That's too many. That's too many. Smaller paper. First off, maybe Post-it notes. Microfiche. Absolutely. This is the better way to go. We need to conserve paper. This is my main issue with Elon Musk. Wow. You're going to find some problems with Alex on that because he loves printing stuff.
Starting point is 00:16:01 You know that. He really does. He takes down a forest every day. There's one thing we know about Alex. It's that he was attacked by a poltergeist when he was younger and God chose him to fight the devil. If we know two things, it's that and he loves printing things. That is definitely true. So let's see. Let's see if he gets to some specifics about this fraud stuff.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Okay. That in and of itself is irrevocably discrediting and devastating the entire globalist, not just here but worldwide, money laundering, political control system of the tax-free foundations, the NGOs, the CIA, the State Department, and their counterparts in other Western countries. So that in and of itself is seismic historic and we could do 24 hours a day nonstop just covering what's coming out. It's all over the top insane. And we knew what was going on but the specific receipts are even worse than we thought. We're talking about trillions of dollars a year.
Starting point is 00:17:05 This is just like, let's just look at the pile. Look at the pile. Are there even trillions of not like we could do 24 hours a day about this or I could just not do it. I won't even tell you. I can just say shit. I'll say look at the pile. Right?
Starting point is 00:17:21 Yeah. No, I mean, I know the budget is like $2 dollars or something like that some crazy number that I can't possibly Understand right sure the idea that there would be trillions Every year that was outside of said two trillion dollars that was that was going missing. Uh-huh. That seems like too much derivatives Secret money what is secret money? You don't know about secret money? I don't know about secret money. Oh, I don't know how to tell you this There's secret secret money. Wait, does it not affect inflation if you have secret money? It's a different inflation It's a different inflation. They work on a different scale. Well, it's secret place. This is this is how they do it
Starting point is 00:18:00 It's just too complicated for me to follow. Of course you commit crimes whenever it's that complicated. Yeah, and I think that there's also a real disconnect between like, hey, we found government fraud and what you really mean is we found spending we don't like that was public and approved. Yeah, I mean, you clearly define fraud. School lunch programs isn't fraud. Yeah, clearly define fraud. They can't.
Starting point is 00:18:25 It's not like somebody is at an office, like they're not describing somebody in an office like faking shit and spending two trillion dollars. They're just grabbing departments and cutting them. Yeah, and saying like, oh, this is a thing that I wouldn't want to spend money on. Fraud. What? You know what it is? Too much paperwork.
Starting point is 00:18:44 It is. Microfiche. Yep, so Trump is talking tariffs sure and so there's gonna be counter strikes. Okay boarding to Alex Okay Trump didn't just freeze the three trillion in the NGO slush funds last week and then some low-level federal judge blocked it for now and Musk and Trump said that's fine We're already control the payment systems and almost all this is totally illegal. And so we're just blocking all these payments ourselves at the executive level. And we're just gonna expose it all
Starting point is 00:19:15 to the light of day. See how you vampires like that. So that is a huge area will be hitting. And as I speak so much more is coming out, you couldn't cover that in a day area we'll be hitting. And as I speak, so much more is coming out. You couldn't cover that in a day. So we have that. Then we have the big enemy counterstrikes that, oh, Trump's tariffs are going to cause a stock market crash and a new Great Depression, but really it's the corporate media and their BlackRock private central bank Rothschild owners who are desperate to stop this recovery that will then vindicate Trump and have the whole world adopt the American system again. And there goes their neo-feudalistic, tyrannical, you will eat the bugs post industrial hell. But when you actually go in and look at what's happened, the United States gets less than 5% of its goods.
Starting point is 00:20:28 For Mexico and less than 5% of its trade is with Mexico. And Mexico has 81% of its trade with us. And guess what? It's the same number, 81%, Canada. And they don't let our products in, they don't let our businesses in, they don't let us do jack crap. So the way Alex is describing Trump at the beginning of that clip seems to be basically a judge said I couldn't do what I wanted, so I took over the accounting department and
Starting point is 00:21:02 then started whining on Twitter. It doesn't come off very strong or like a noble strategy, but I do think Alex is doing the best with what he has to work with, because it's sad. As we've seen since Trump came into office, he's an unstable and unreliable actor in terms of trade. It's only been a few months and he's already promised giant tariffs only to walk them back when the leaders of the targeted countries make it clear that they won't just accept the tariff without imposing their own. Three times now he's made a big show of announcing tariffs which he would then go on to postpone
Starting point is 00:21:32 or limit in some way after backlash. This is all going to lead to chilled trade relations, less trust in the US as a trade partner and increased prices for consumer goods. When those inevitable results come, Alex will be able to portray the consequences of Trump's actions as the globalist counterattack. And that's what he's doing here. He's getting ready for an explanation for bad times. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Also, what's his solution? We take over Canada and Mexico? Probably. I mean, is that, does he want a one- Soft power. I mean, that that does he want a one? Soft power. I mean, that's an interesting question. Does he actually want a one continent country? He's supported, he supported Trump's calls to make Canada a state. So yeah. All right. I
Starting point is 00:22:15 think he would. You know what? He loves colonization but also hates expansion. Sure. No, I say we negotiate and everybody in America's American rule. That would get rid of this whole immigrant shit. Solve that problem. Sure. Done. I don't think Alex wants that, but I think he would like some kind of... It feels like his version of colonialism has him subjugating a population as opposed to bringing them into the... He wants to start a prison planet in El Salvador. Well, I mean, but who does it? Me?
Starting point is 00:22:49 Yeah, that's because you don't have the imagination for a prison planet in El Salvador. I've got such a robust imagination that I got a pinky ring. You can't even put a pinky ring in El Salvador. I... Actually, you could probably get by with that. What about Panama, though? That's a good question. man a plan right a canal Panama is that a palindrome it is that's those like race car right or able I was air I saw Elba
Starting point is 00:23:16 That's not a good no palindrome, but it is one is one that Alex has some thoughts about Panama Palindrome the canals they're in okay So Trump said I don't want to do these tariffs Open up your countries to our stuff And stop shipping the fentanyl and agree to put your troops on the border He's already gone out and deputized the Texas Guard he's deputizing other guards we got a problem They saying help us. We'll help you. She says, screw you. F you. Just like the Colombian president, and he shut up within a few hours.
Starting point is 00:23:55 The Panamanian president just last week said, screw you to Trump. Our deal is we built it. You're supposed to give our military ships free transit and give US ships a discount. Nope. You don't get that We're going to give china free transit and let china come in with their belt and road initiative and take over the country Well less than 24 hours after trump announced these sanctions on Panama The president we have the video did a national address yesterday afternoon and said, we're ending the Belt and Road Initiative.
Starting point is 00:24:32 We're in your hemisphere, Monroe Doctrine. We want to work with the United States and you can bring your ships through for free, US ships, military ships. And what else do you want? So Panama did recently announce that they wouldn't be renewing their participation in China's Belt and Road Initiative. But the exact amount that Trump's trade war has to do with that is unclear. There's been a trend internationally of decreased interest in that initiative as investment
Starting point is 00:24:57 from China into these other parts of the world has gone down. Italy withdrew from the infrastructure agreement in 2023. And there's been some talk of other countries going that direction as well. I understand that Alex has complained about China owning the Panama Canal for a long time, like way back into his early career, so it makes sense for him to celebrate the idea of China's influence waning here. However, he really needs to read past headlines of these stories, or else he runs the risk of sounding like a real dumb dumb. past headlines of these stories or else he runs the risk of sounding like a real dumb dumb.
Starting point is 00:25:25 China operates most of the business at the Panama Canal through a company called CK Hutchinson. They run the Balboa and Creteball terminals which are on each side of the canal through an entity called the Panama Ports Company. The PPC was sold for $14 billion recently to a US consortium. And Alex should know that that's largely funded by BlackRock, the people that he really, really hates and who are the kings of the globalists. Sounds about right. Talks about Larry Fink all the fucking time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Alex doesn't know any of the details of these stories, so when he reports on the Panama Canal no longer being influenced by a Chinese port company, he only sees a victory, because that's all there is on the surface. If he dug even the slightest bit deeper, he'd have to address this story as really being about a Chinese company selling the port to the literal devil, which isn't really progress at all from his perspective. I think this is a good illustration of the kind of information that you can get from Alex and sources like him.
Starting point is 00:26:24 He can pump you up about the feeling around a piece of news, even if the reality of that news should give you the opposite feeling. All he has to do is, and all he can do, is distract you from any of the details in order to get you on the road that he wants. Also, to be clear, C.K. Hutchinson's co-managing director said quote I would like to stress that the transaction is purely commercial in nature and wholly unrelated to recent political news reports concerning the Panama ports so I don't know if this is something that heavily has to do with Trump's actions or not sure but either way Alex is pretending that it's like GI Joe is taking over yeah not Black Rock. Yeah. Yeah No, I sometimes like I understand the complexity of the world. But at the same time I
Starting point is 00:27:11 Just go like wait a second. So a bunch of guys a few thousand miles away owned this thing And then they just sold it to a bunch of other guys and nobody talked to the people who live there Basically, well, I mean, I think it's in coordination with the panama government A lot of local panamanians who are not thrilled. We used to live in the trees. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's where i'm that's where I'm coming back and forward from yeah It is it's I just I can't get over how silly Alex's show appears. Yeah when you get a little bit more information. Yeah, like he
Starting point is 00:27:51 Look, how does he not understand that? This is like Black Rocks behind this. Well, I mean if Ironically in a sense him failing to follow the plan of the devil bolsters the devil's claim to being in charge. You know what I'm saying? The less good Alex is, the less good. The worse Alex is at following the globalist plan, the more credence to the leader of said
Starting point is 00:28:22 plan being the devil, you would have to give it, right? Sure, I guess. But also, there's a possibility that Alex just sucks. There's also that possibility. Yeah. The fact that he can't figure this mystery out might not be an indication that it's a good mystery. That's fair. He may just be a fucking idiot. That's fair. You're not wrong.
Starting point is 00:28:42 So he's also a little bit racist. Sure. And that comes up as Alex talks about Some moves that Trump has made about South Africa great Trump's done a lot more too South Africa is going the way of Rhodesia which then of course Got its name changed and
Starting point is 00:29:04 First they took the white farmers land and they killed and first they took the white farmers land and then they killed them. They took the white farmers land. Zimbabwe. They took it from the white farmers. It's getting really bad in South Africa. Can you imagine? And so Trump said,
Starting point is 00:29:18 well, I'm gonna put sanctions on your ass to their communist government. Their president literally gets up and says, kill all the white people. Well, there ain't many white people left there. And so Trump just said, No. We're not putting up with that. And again,
Starting point is 00:29:38 the globalist left went in there, set it all up, exploited it, destroyed the system that was there that. We're not defending apartheid, either it was Trump, but then you put a communist state in where the whole thing collapses, but the globalists have their military camps and their diamond mines, and then none of the society gets any of the money, only the globalists. The globalists want warlords in charge. So that was a masterclass on how to not sound like someone who supports apartheid.
Starting point is 00:30:05 If you want to convincingly say that you're against apartheid, it's critical that you refer to one former apartheid state by its old name and imply that another was better off when apartheid was going before it was overthrown. It's cool, he sounds great. Trump released a statement that was supposedly in response to South Africa's Expropriation Act 13, which was passed in 2024. This act allows the government to take certain narrowly defined property in order to serve the public good.
Starting point is 00:30:32 It's kind of like eminent domain laws in the United States where the government can seize your house if they need to build a highway through where you live. It's not a great thing, but that kind of like allowance for the government exists in a lot of countries. And the further issue with this particular statute is that it was specifically meant to replace the expropriation act 63 from 1975, which was a piece of apartheid state legislation. The new act from 2024 was an attempt to take this bill and make it more in line with the
Starting point is 00:31:01 actual constitution of South Africa. It's impossible to understand any of this outside of a broader context, and the fact that black people in South Africa were subject to the Native Lands Act of 1913, which restricted them from owning property outside of specified reserves. The result of this and other discriminatory legislation passed over the following decades was that a very small white minority in South Africa owned upwards of 85% of the land in the country and controlled pretty much all of the wealth. Crazy. This was a radical expropriation of land in and of itself and the ripple effect of this are what people are still
Starting point is 00:31:36 dealing with today. The white supremacist movement and white nationalist groups worldwide have never been happy that the states that operated with full-on white supremacy like apartheid-era South Africa and Rhodesia aren't allowed to be that anymore, so they have a habit of misrepresenting stories around the subject in a way that's meant to argue for a return to apartheid without directly saying that. Also, it's probably important context that Elon Musk's wealth originates from his father owning multiple emerald mines in Africa and that he grew up in South Africa during apartheid. Musk's dad described Elon's mother's side of the family as being quote very fanatical in support of apartheid. This is all very relevant context that's missing from
Starting point is 00:32:15 Alex's analysis because there is no analysis. An apartheid state run by white people that steals the land in a country, that's just freedom and the market. While people asking for white people that steals the land in the country, that's just freedom and the market. While people asking for white people to give that land back, that's evil communism. Okay, sure. It's shallow. I mean, I find it fascinating the level of group think that humans are capable of engaging in, where you can say something like, they took the white farmers land. That takes a lot of effort, a lot of years, a lot of education, a lot of reinforcement from the people around you.
Starting point is 00:32:56 And then to say it out loud where everybody can hear it and not even think twice, not even think twice. They took these white farmers' land. It's to deny that history exists before a certain point. Because it's too complicated when you do and you're not allowed to have these kind of takes that Alex has. It would be more intellectually honest for them to just be like, we took it by murdering people, so I guess it's okay if they take it by murdering us back But that means it's okay for all of us to murder each other might made right then but then not anymore
Starting point is 00:33:32 No, no, no, no, they're mean. Yeah, it's too too complicated. Mm-hmm So the point is that Trump's having these victories lots of victories. I don't okay. Yeah, okay No, no Trump's already having big victories Panama says it won't renew Belkin Road agreement, which totally turns over their infrastructure to China and the Panama Canal Announcement came after a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio during which Rubio Tackled the issue of Chinese influence over the country the particular the Panama Canal Panamanian president made the announcement on Sunday saying that although the agreement is not due for renewal for the two years, his
Starting point is 00:34:11 administration would be looking to terminate it sooner. We're going to study the possibility of whether it can be finished earlier or not. I think it is due for renewal in one or two years. Now again, the globalists were running China made a deal decades ago to hand over Panama to them. Then the Chinese double-crossed the globalists. Trump's come in and pushed the globalists aside and saying, we're going back to the American system.
Starting point is 00:34:35 That's all this is, is back to the future. But you really don't hear a lot about this in the corporate media. Oh no, Trump's failing. Trump's going to get us all screwed. Would Alex be able to present this as a big victory for Trump if the audience knew that Trump and Rubio were essentially turning the Panama Canal over to a BlackRock-funded consortium? Like, they're the big villains of the conspiracy world now that Klaus Schwab is kind of a little boring. So this seems like a giant problem for him. But it's not. Because who cares?
Starting point is 00:35:03 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah man Black Rock owns too much shit true yeah yeah if that means a problem it's a different kind of problem than Alex presents it as but it's not a non-problem nope so we think about eggs. Easter's coming up. Sure. There was a, there's a MST3K short that talks about farming eggs. And it's very detailed. You gotta milk the chickens. It's amazing what they used to make in the like 1950s where they'd be like, hey, if this chicken sells more eggs,
Starting point is 00:35:46 that's a good chicken. But if it eats more food than it makes eggs, that's a bad chicken. Right. And then the narrator is like scolding a child about the chickens. Totally. Yeah, you idiot. Yeah, it's amazing. So egg prices. Sure. Maybe not Trump's fault, maybe his fault, who knows. Could be. But you know, what's definitely not his fault is that helicopter that crashed into a plane That was is that his fault. No, I didn't think so. It was DEI. Oh, okay. Well that makes you a microcosm
Starting point is 00:36:12 Helicopters are too woke of how they're taking everything That the globalist policies did and created and the the policies did and created. And then trying to do a pull fast one. A shell game. Where they then suddenly go. No eggs are record high and in shortage because of Trump.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Here's a short clip. the president's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the
Starting point is 00:37:10 the the the the the the the the
Starting point is 00:37:18 the the the the the the the the the the the Trump saying he was going to cancel DEI for the helicopter crash last week. Then they wouldn't tell you who the pilot was and try to keep it secret. But it came out. She was a Biden
Starting point is 00:37:32 official who was just in ROTC a few years ago and is now commanding missions in COG. missions in COG and you saw the rest of the story. And she's a big LGBT person or was. Boy, no wonder they didn't want us to know about that. No wonder. Now you see the rest of the story. So there were three people in that Black Hawk helicopter at the time of the crash that Alex is talking about and only one of them was a woman. So we know that Alex is referring to Rebecca Lobach here. Alex says that she was a Biden official who
Starting point is 00:38:10 was just in the ROTC a few years ago. She was not a Biden official although she was a social aid for the White House and the capacity of helping with Medal of Honor and Medal of Freedom ceremonies. That does not make her a Biden official. She was in ROTC when she was in college while she was simultaneously training with the North Carolina National Guard as an active member until she was called up to the Army graduating in 2019 in the top 20% of her class. Alex is saying that she was a Biden official to smear her as the enemy and saying that she was just in the ROTC as a way of saying that she was inexperienced and she shouldn't have been in that helicopter. Isn't it suspicious that she's just in the ROTC as a way of saying that she was inexperienced and she shouldn't have been in that helicopter.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Isn't it suspicious that she's in that helicopter? Underneath it all, he's just saying this because she's a woman. He has nothing to say about the other two dudes in that helicopter because according to Alex, they belong there. She was just there because of DEI. No one was trying to keep her identity secret as part of a conspiracy. Her family had requested the military not release her name initially, which was honored while the family prepared a statement.
Starting point is 00:39:10 I'm not sure what Alex means when he says that she was a big LGBT person, but I suspect it's in response to her obituaries mentioning that Rebecca was a passionate victim advocate in the Army Sexual Har assault response and prevention program. I don't know anything about her sexual orientation or anything and I don't, it's not relevant, but this is something that's brought up a bunch in her obituaries and I think that it makes Alex mad. That makes sense. Nothing but monster shit here from Alex. Metaphorically pissing on people's graves in order to make a quick buck.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Like this is disgusting shit I don't even really care that much about like you know patriotism or or Military or like show some respect for the military or anything like that, but like the person who just died You're just shitting all over them. Yeah It's it's there's no reason to do this. Yeah, it's loser shit. It's real sad Yeah, I find it ugly. I feel like I feel like the misogynist would be like, ah, these two men, they should have manned it. You know, that's what you should be doing. I also have no idea about like the structure of these kinds of missions and stuff. Oh, I bet they're so structured. So she was a captain. One of the other guys was a staff sergeant.
Starting point is 00:40:26 And the other one was a warrant officer, second class. Sure. And I don't know what that means in terms of rank. No. But I did look into it a little bit and I know that like a captain and a staff sergeant, one is a commissioned officer and the other isn't. Sure.
Starting point is 00:40:42 So it's impossible to even like apples and oranges it. you can't even compare them really in terms of hierarchy yeah I don't know who's commanding this mission I don't know it just seems like why why are you gonna do this man yeah I mean it I I would I just it bums me out that he tries to use words to say it you, like he's using all of these horrible words to imply shit when it's like, man, just say, I don't understand. This is their thing. I hate women. I don't want women in authority. Yeah. Right. There was a little lady over there and that's why this happened. And now I'm angry because a woman was in a power, a place of authority. But I'm also more mad because I know that I can't really just say that. Yeah, like it feels, this is what I'm saying about like we used to live in the trees.
Starting point is 00:41:30 This is a monkey man who's beating his chest because there's a grown female making decisions, right? This is a monkey man. But also like you can just buy a canal. Like it's crazy to live in this time period. It is disorient. Yeah, so this this lady who Alex is Very respectful of yeah, she was just there cuz she was a DEI hire, right? Great
Starting point is 00:41:53 But but it's not that she's a woman Yes, it is even she's a big LGBT promoter that they've scrubbed all her social media and her family social media and really quick But we got it It's that a smaller pool of women try to go be pilots the pilots or fabulous snipers. Women are just as good as shots as men statistically. It's that there's less of them and then they go and recruit women who really don't have the skills and then they lower standards and then you see what you get. So they tried to blame Trump for going after D E I even though he hadn't put the policies in yet. And then
Starting point is 00:42:51 this lady is D E I all the way for folks that don't know. In five years, you don't go from R O T C to commanding C O G missions over the busiest airport in the world. I've studied COG missions and the types of people they have doing it, and they are the best of the best of the best. Well they aren't anymore.
Starting point is 00:43:14 They were white men, damn it. Yep. There's no evidence for any of the stuff that Alex is saying. He sees a woman in a position that he feels like a man should be in, and his explanation for that is that they must have lowered the standards in order to get a woman into that position because of woke. Alex hasn't reviewed Rebecca's track record, he knows nothing about her qualifications, all he knows is that he's seeing a woman where he doesn't think she belongs.
Starting point is 00:43:38 So he's created an entire social narrative about why that's happening, about lower standards, all of this shit, that's just from his head. Pete Hegseth, noted piece of shit and Secretary of Defense, said that the helicopter was on a routine training mission involving COG or continuity of government. This makes some sense in that plans are in place in case of an emergency that requires senior members of government evacuating from the DC area. If you're part of the military, you wouldn't want that emergency to come up and then everyone is just kind of winging it.
Starting point is 00:44:09 I don't think that it's at all suspicious that a person who graduated from military training then rose to the rank of captain would be involved in a COG type exercise within five years. She wasn't planning who would be the designated survivor. She was practicing flying at night in case that was necessary in a crisis. The only thing I actually think is kind of fucked up about this whole aspect of the story is that Hegseth publicly said that the accident happened because the helicopter was doing COG training.
Starting point is 00:44:37 He said it was part of quote, routine annual retraining of night flights on a standard corridor. That seems like if you're trying to protect the continuity of government, like in the possibility of the US Capitol coming under attack, it isn't the best idea to say like, we practice using the same corridor for evacuation. Yeah, seems like information a potential enemy might want to know and use that seems kind of strange. Whatever. But the way Alex is covering the story. I just think is disgusting Yeah, yeah, yep. Yep. Yep. That's fucking nuts. Mm-hmm. That's just fucking nuts man. Yep
Starting point is 00:45:13 anyway, who Drop is doing his trade war sure victories Boy, we can have opinions about tariffs and at the same time beat our chests like a monkey man. Mm-hmm. Very strange! Well, the monkeys had tariffs. That may be... have we studied monkey tariff law? Hmm. Cause we've been doing English common... English Commonwealth law, right?
Starting point is 00:45:36 That's what we keep talking about. Monroe Doctrine. Also, we can just say Monroe Doctrine. Yeah. And that means... I did. That just means things. Did you see how my posture changed?
Starting point is 00:45:44 I saw it! You said Monroe Doctrine and I was I was like whoa shit just got real my back straight man just said Monroe doctrine now he's he's he's cited something can be no questions okay fair enough I have not seen all of the new Planet of the Apes sure I did they get into tariffs and any of those man that would be such an interesting way for that franchise to go To really go the full Phantom Menace now. This is about trade disputes. Sure. Yeah, why not? Well, I think is they want to make a compelling interesting movie to watch
Starting point is 00:46:15 Oh that well, then what are you saying about Phantom Menace that it's not good Ah, so Alex talks a little bit about the headlines covering Trump's trade war sure There's hundreds of these articles. I see every day Trump launches a baffling trade war against Canada and Mexico Yeah, I mean It's totally one-sided. They won't let our goods in particularly Canada Won't even let us banks operate there That's just we're wide open to them terror. Well, that's just we're wide open to them. Same thing with Mexico, very protectionist. And then all Trump wants is them to stop letting fentanyl pour in and let them manufacture
Starting point is 00:46:53 it there. I mean, Trudeau lets them manufacture it, lets people use it up there. He's super unpopular. And so the media is just demonizing Trump like he's crazy big, super unpopular. And so the media is just demonizing Trump like he's crazy. It makes no sense. Why would he say we built the Panama Canal? Don't give it to China. Why? Why would he tell the Mexican government? Hey, you better put troops on your border and stop this invasion operation that they've been running with the U. N. Or I'm gonna put tariffs on you and then oh their president talked big but as soon as the rubber met the road and Trump
Starting point is 00:47:26 Called her bluff. She rolled over Donald Trump says America could feel pain thanks to tariffs on Mexico, Canada, China And he went on to say yeah, it doesn't mean you we won't feel something But you've already been feeling the trade war you've been under And he went on to say, yeah, it doesn't mean we won't feel something. But you've already been feeling the trade war you've been under. Here's another one out of the Wall Street Journal. The dumbest trade war fallout begins. So now they tell you the economy is going to crash, hoping you buy into it.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Well, they're the ones that already crashed the economy. Trump's move to put tariff hikes ahead of tax cuts has spooked almost everyone. you buy into it when they're the ones that already crashed the economy. Trump's move to put tariff hikes ahead of tax cuts has spooked almost everyone. Wall Street Journal, oh, be spooked. Here's another one. The Great Depression lesson about trade wars, lots about Great Depression. Car prices face 3,000 increases, tariffs hit auto sector. Yeah, well, you'll just buy American.
Starting point is 00:48:26 So Alex says that the auto industry that took a big hit, but that's fine. You'll just buy American cars, damn it. As it turns out, Trump ended, what he did was he exempted auto manufacturers from his tariffs. Well, that'll happen. Partially because the terms of his threats would have violated the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement that Trump signed in his first term, but also because it's very clear that imposing those tariffs broadly would destroy US car companies.
Starting point is 00:48:52 Trump leads as a bully. He makes threats and he usually gets his way because he's a super rich asshole who doesn't care about other people. This is the style he's cultivated over the years as a businessman and as a celebrity, and he's carrying that over into governing, which is a huge problem. When you're a billionaire real estate guy, you can just treat an employee or contractor like shit, and then if they stand up for themselves, you can pull out the old catchphrase, you're fired, and then the problem seems to magically go away, like, it's the episode of The Apprentice
Starting point is 00:49:19 and the credits start rolling. Everything is good. But governing doesn't work like that. Trump is trying to bully all these other countries with these threats of giant tariffs and they're just saying back like, all right, we'll tariff your stuff back. Everyone knows that the threats being made only work if the other side relents and the other sides here aren't really relenting. And to the extent that Alex is saying that like they rolled over or whatever, a lot of times it's symbolic concessions and stuff they're already doing that Trump is then repackaging as a win.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Yeah. Says dumb, childish shit. Yeah. US banks can operate in Canada. They're just required to follow some regulations. Wow. That's then it's not really US banks now is it? Alex just saw Trump tweet that US banks can't operate in Canada, and like a good little
Starting point is 00:50:08 servant, he's repeating the master's words unquestioningly. He's a real, real idiot. I mean, in a sense, they can't really operate, you know? Not US style. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, like US banks want to go in there and really steal everybody's shit, and they're just not allowed to. Well it's the same way that like Tim Hortons or A&W can operate in the US but it's not the same because we allow worse ingredients.
Starting point is 00:50:34 You get a different experience across the border and banking is the same. So if I, am I to understand, here's what I think And I could be wrong about this But it might understand that tariffs are functionally like sanctions in a sense that it's like it We we make the people feel like shit, so they'll put pressure on their government to not do the thing I mean, I don't I don't know how much you need to know more than that But yeah, I guess it's it's sort of it's supposed to be a lot based on industry though, right? Because let's say we have You know America and Canada both make cars sure we charge extra for the cars that are coming in from Canada in order to encourage The price is by American. Yeah, totally get that's the theory In essence the way it's being used is very much like weapon Alex even read that it's economic violence
Starting point is 00:51:31 Yeah, yeah one person says okay, we text this and then they go fine But you guys buy a lot of this so we'll text it and then we're just gonna watch except for you're fucking with real people's lives Yeah You're like a bunch of children and the people who are going to be affected by it are the people who get consumer goods, where the, you know, that's where the buck rolls down to. It's not going to affect Elon Musk and Trump. Or even Alex. Yeah. I've always been interested in that. That's always fascinating to me. The governments are always like, ah, we'll get the poor people. And that'll change things. But, you know, eventually, there's
Starting point is 00:52:06 the promise of like, after this hurdle, things will be better. There always seems to be. Yeah. But also, I think Alex is really, really thrown off by the headline that he read, where Trump said that Americans are going to feel pain from the tariffs. Yeah? That's tough to spin.
Starting point is 00:52:22 I think he gave it his best shot, and I think it didn't work. I mean, yeah, the idea there is that you have to spin. I think he gave it his best shot and I think it didn't work I mean, yeah, the the idea there is that you have to go you have to go full JFK You have to be like, yeah, we're gonna paint it up so we can win Canada's cars What you can do for your totally yourself ask what you can do for your country It makes perfect sense for us to think that that's not an incredibly insane thing to say Mm-hmm. Yeah, so Alex is not smart. Yeah, we know this that's true from experience
Starting point is 00:52:50 Uh-huh about a thousand or so episodes of experiencing him not being smart sure and now he just comes out and says it what? I'm not that smart People continue to say how the hell does Jones knows things years The globalist war game they think tank they talk about their plans It's come out in the new doge releases of USAID and these other out-of-control Agencies look at that pile with trillions a year out of control Trillion corporations and to their operatives and to themselves Talking about fomenting riots corporations and to their operatives and to themselves talking about
Starting point is 00:53:25 fomenting riots anywhere in the world where somebody doesn't do what they want and overthrow governments, including ours. That's coming up next hour. And so John Podesta said again in the fall of 2020 before the election in a big war game the Democrats had, and the New York Times reported on it, that they were going to have blue states secede, create a civil war of Trump won, calling it a race war. Now obviously they're going to need to kill a bunch of brown people and blame Trump. Well, they came back again and said, if he wins this time, we're going to do it again.
Starting point is 00:54:04 And then I said, you'll have the illegal aliens protesting with they came back again and said, if he wins this time, we're gonna do it again. And then I said, you'll have the illegal aliens protesting with the Democrats in mass. You've got governors and mayors saying stand up, fight back. You've got
Starting point is 00:54:19 Pritzker up in Illinois. Signed a law just last week. To change the name and give new identities to illegal aliens, including felons. You got the governor in New Jersey just came out and said, you know, we're going to house these people, we're going to protect them, we're going to all this crap. That's a rebellion against federal law. That's illegal. That's aiding and abetting. That's organized crime. That's obstruction of justice. It's true that Alex isn't very smart, but it's cool that he loves federal law now so much.
Starting point is 00:54:52 The rest of the nonsense that he's talking about there, it's all bullshitting. It's all disconnected from reality. We've talked about those talking points that he's hitting in the past, but that New Jersey one is new. I don't know if you know about this one. So the governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, was at a speaking engagement and he said, quote, I don't want to get into too much detail, but there's someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they're trying to get to. We said, you know what, let's have her live at our house above our garage and good luck
Starting point is 00:55:21 to the feds trying to come in and get her." Obviously, he was speaking at a left-leaning event with mostly college-age attendees, so he wanted to seem a bit more confrontational than he really is. There was backlash on right-wing social media, and the story made it to Fox News, where border czar Tom Homan threatened to investigate the governor for hiding an undocumented immigrant. But then stuff got really weird. Murphy began to walk back his statement, and his spokesperson said that his comments were writing an undocumented immigrant. But then stuff got really weird. Murphy began to walk back his statement and his spokesperson said that his comments were just a hypothetical.
Starting point is 00:55:50 The woman in the story didn't really exist. Or maybe she did. As the New York Times reported, quote, an aide to the governor clarified on Monday that the woman in question was in the country legally and had never lived on the Murphy family's property. The aide did not make clear what sort of relationship, if any, the woman had with the governor or his wife. To be clear, the headline for that story in the New York Times is, quote, a governor's bizarre comment made him a target of Trump's border czar.
Starting point is 00:56:19 The top line of that story is how weird it is that Murphy seems to have just made up this hypothetical situation to pretend that he's more defiant than he actually is. Yeah. Because that's very strange. So I'll agree with Alex on this one that this is very weird. But if he was actually housing someone who was being hunted down by the borders, I don't think that that would be bad. This is all very weird. It is
Starting point is 00:56:47 Everybody is making terrible decisions here. Mm-hmm. First off if you are hiding and Frank do not tell people I would hide in Frank don't do that, right? But the hiding is not the problem. No The problem telling people first off. That's a huge problem When you're hiding somebody, don't tell anybody. Right. And then if you're not, don't tell anybody. Don't make it up that you are. Super weird. In order to like sort of pump your chest in public. And then you know what? Let's do this. If you're the media, don't go looking for Anne Frank. What are you doing? What are you doing? She's hiding, man. What are you doing? Yeah, I agree with you as a general guiding principal.
Starting point is 00:57:29 In this case, something very strange is going on. I'm on your team. This is all fucking idiotic. Everybody needs to go home. Yeah, but it is yet another talking point of Alex's that just... Everybody do something else. On this story specifically, I want every
Starting point is 00:57:46 single person involved. Alex, just do something else. Well, maybe you'll get your wish. I hope so. Maybe Alex will start giving you a timeline of the false flags that are going to be carried out. That would be nice. I would like a schedule. You're in luck. Okay. They're going to try to crash the stock market. They're trying to frame Trump. Then the truck bomb mass shooting of the illegal aliens protesting that are now, as I said the last
Starting point is 00:58:20 few weeks, going to get more and more violent. More and more intense as the NGOs give them the orders of the Soros radio stations tell them to go out and be violent. That's confirmed About all the key spanish-speaking ones. Oh, come on so they can hype everybody up. Here's where ice is go get them Block this highway do that And then when the military goes out Well, trump's a dictator And then the state sends professional teams to kill Trump. And Trump understands that and knows that and they're ready and we're
Starting point is 00:58:52 way ahead of the enemy now. We're not naive now. This is fun storytelling. So I guess Zoros bought up all the Spanish language radio stations so he can send completely undecodable messages to the foot soldiers. It's impossible. This is a stupid plan. You would have to learn Spanish to understand these. And who can do that? Nobody.
Starting point is 00:59:10 So this traces back to a 2022 right-wing social media hysteria about two Spanish radio stations in Miami, which were purchased by a group called the Latino Media Network, which is not run by Soros, but has received some funding from his affiliated groups. The big issue was WAQI or Radio Mambi, which is an AM station that's primarily attracted a Cuban-American audience. In Florida, the Cuban community is a fairly anti-communist and Republican-leaning group, so naturally there was outrage at the possibility of a non-right-wing aligned radio group buying a very prominent radio station that caters to this community.
Starting point is 00:59:47 The fear was that it was an attempt to sway politics and hurt Trump's 2024 chances in Florida as well as Marco Rubio's run for Congress. Complaints were made to the FCC who looked into the sale and found no problem with it and it went ahead. To be clear, I'm opposed to big companies owning a bunch of media entities. I think that media consolidation is largely a force of ill in the world and that no one should own multiple radio stations or newspapers. So I'm not in favor of Soros owning a bunch of stations.
Starting point is 01:00:15 I'm just saying that Alex is not really reporting this story accurately. And I think part of the reason he can't do that is because if he did, he'd have to talk about how his entire worldview is essentially propped up by that very same force of market consolidation. If it weren't for the widespread ownership of radio stations all over the country by groups like Cumulus Media and Salem Radio Network, right-wing talking head shows wouldn't have had the market saturation that they did in the 80s and 90s, which is directly responsible for creating the atmosphere where shitheads like Alex can thrive.
Starting point is 01:00:47 In some ways, Alex is afraid of the idea of Soros buying up a bunch of radio stations because he knows that's what his guys did, and it's pretty effective, or it was in that era of time. And I think that he knows that, and that's why he can't really... Yeah, yeah, it makes you despair of ever learning a lesson. You know, like, because it feels like that whole, maybe don't give all of the media to a very small group of people with all the money, and then also let them own other stuff. That feels like a lesson we've already learned. It does.
Starting point is 01:01:20 It feels like we've moved past that one. We should've. We should've. We've learned the lesson, but not implemented the lesson. Because it's not like it was a new lesson, you know? Like it goes way back. It does. We've got all these books where it's in there.
Starting point is 01:01:35 Books where there was like ten guys. There was only like ten guys and even then they were like, can't let one guy have all of this stuff. So uncomplicated. Yeah. Oh well. What are you going to do? So I remember at the beginning of this episode, well first of all, we're supposed to find
Starting point is 01:01:51 out what Trump told Alex. I do recall that. Yeah. Yeah. We haven't really talked about that. Sure haven't. No. But I also remember that Alex was going to give insight into the grand strategy and that
Starting point is 01:02:04 Trump, his whole thing. Sure. So he comes back from break and I'm going to play this entire segment in pieces. But I'm going to play the whole thing. Each clip overlaps with the next. Because I think this is important. All right. I said I would get into what the Trump grand strategy is last hour.
Starting point is 01:02:29 And I got into it some, but I think it's really important to spend a few minutes on it because I haven't really seen it defined by anybody properly. I know the American system. I've studied it. Trump has made a lot of references to it. You can see it's it's in everything he's doing. When he commissioned the last four years, expert historical societies to have his 1776 project, which I really agreed with and thought was great. He said, I intend to implement this. And people think to think, oh, that's what happened. And that's what meant this. And people think
Starting point is 01:03:07 that's 17 76. That's 250 years ago. That's an old system. No it was the Renaissance and the very best thinking that the world ever produced. And those philosophies applied to modern times. Work even better than it's back to the future. It's the latest best system. We've just been abandoning it since
Starting point is 01:03:26 the end of World War II and then didn't just completely abandon it became to a great extent the opposite of it. This all means nothing. That's just a bunch of filler words that amount to zero. I'm curious about what Alex is trying to succinctly describe as Trump's philosophy, but this just feels like a padded book. Monroe Doctrine. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:03:48 Like that's nothing. Get to it, Dick. What is it? What's the American system? Renaissance. It's the American system. Back to the future. It's the best thinking anybody ever came up with.
Starting point is 01:03:59 Cool. What is it? It's the best thinking. All right. Please, go on, Alex. Thinking more. You have all the time you need sure We've just been abandoning it since the end of World War two and then Didn't just completely abandoned it became
Starting point is 01:04:14 To a great extent the opposite of it But pulling out of this suicide death cult of this suicide death cult is not going to be easy. And I saw a Babylon B joke piece that Elon retweeted, reposted yesterday, and it basically said, you know, MSM begs Trump to slow down because he's exhausting them. It's not exhausting me. I'm frustrated that I can't fight as hard as I want to.
Starting point is 01:04:55 And that's because I don't have a big enough crew. and I want to work 18, 20 hours a day. And I expect people can't do that all the time. The crew has been working 12, 14, 15, 18 hours a day. And I have a lot of big original research stories that are extremely important. and I just can't release them because I'm not gonna release some half-ass. So this is all still saying nothing like he's supposed to be crystallizing Trump's philosophy and so far we've got blowhard platitudes about the Renaissance and then Alex complaining that his staff doesn't work hard enough. This is dead air. Yeah. This is nothing.
Starting point is 01:05:46 Yeah. You know, I think, here's what I'm thinking, all right? Do you remember when Leno used to do headlines? Yeah. And he would just put closeups of typos in newspapers on the television and then would repeat them. What do you think about that?
Starting point is 01:06:04 And then everyone would laugh. They would be like be like ah that's not where a tee goes That was supposed to be a pee right mm-hmm I feel like that's where we're at now with all headline based humor like I don't even know what is there a joke there? in like MSM Bay Trump to slow down because they're exhausted. That feels like a reasonable headline these days, honestly. Right? But it's funny.
Starting point is 01:06:31 It's not though. It's not really. It's not at all. No. Yeah, I mean, yeah. And there's a other layer of it that is Alex's, like his version of Jay Leno doing that. Yeah, it's just looking at tweets Yeah, they aren't even really headlines
Starting point is 01:06:48 No, because I think some of the fun of the Jay Leno bit is that no one caught this and it went to print I guess and that that has to get over that hurdle before it's funny See look anybody could have tweeted anything right right right it takes away the exclusivity of it. Yeah, because there was an element of elitism bashing with the headlines of like, see how smart people even make mistakes? That kind of thing. Maybe a little bit.
Starting point is 01:07:16 Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is not that. No, but I want to know what Trump's philosophy is. And I feel like we've taken a hard turn into Alex not having enough money and his staff doesn't work hard enough Yeah, and nothing really could have prepared me for the direction that this takes I Really felt bad This made me really fucking sad. Oh boy in a way that's also I'm laughing Okay, I hate this piece of shit fair enough, but it's also really sad, okay? I
Starting point is 01:07:49 Have a lot of big original research stories that are extremely important and I Just can't release them because I'm not gonna release some half-ass and I'm tortured because our enemies are very easy to beat. And when I get up here over the years and say we've done one of the best jobs fighting the bad guys, that doesn't mean I'm saying I've done a great job. That scares the fucking shit out of me.
Starting point is 01:08:24 I mean, we're up against horrible open demons that want to kill everybody and have a plan to incrementally cut everything off until we're to that point. And wherever they get control of a third world country, they outright do it. And the fact that I've done one of the best jobs. And the fact that more prominent people didn't join us in this fight is insane. Now you've got Elon and Trump in there wrecking them.
Starting point is 01:08:53 And I see the enemy coming in with their counter attack. And I see so many conservatives and populists and people that wanna live, good people celebrating and everything's fine, and we're unstoppable. And that enthusiasm is great. And we should be thankful. But I mean, they're getting ready to crash stock market. And they're getting ready to blow up and shoot up a bunch of illegal aliens. So, you know, people better get their heads out of their asses and get that straight.
Starting point is 01:09:28 But I mean, I got these federal documents and I'm not even gonna release them. We'll fuck it up, doesn't matter, fuck it. I mean, seriously, I mean, I just, I got total proof of the whole deep state, everything. We'll just fucking fuck it to fucking shit. Everything's fucked. I'm so sick of fucking Chuckie Schumer.
Starting point is 01:09:48 Wow. That's really depressing. So in case you can't translate Alex's language, what he's saying is that celebrating victories doesn't make money. Keeping the audience scared about the devil being just about to attack does. The benefactors of the devil being just about to attack does. The benefactors of the right wing are getting exactly what they wanted right now. Public spending is under attack, they're going to gut social security and Medicare, regulations meant to keep corporations from profiting by predatory means are going to be removed. There's really nothing but celebrating to do if you're living in the real world of the
Starting point is 01:10:23 GOP. They profit from the destruction of the state and the empowerment of companies, not by keeping idiots terrified so they buy CMOS. They have real power now, so it's kind of dumb to keep pretending that some shadowy group is just waiting in the wings to strike. It was us! That's Alex's job, though, and that's a big part of why the folks who were seeking power thought he was useful enough to put up with. In case the stock market crashes, it's good to have a guy like Alex around who is screaming about how it wasn't your fault. If there's a domestic terror attack against people defending immigrant rights, it's really
Starting point is 01:10:56 useful to have a guy like Alex yelling about how a false flag was coming. When you need him, it's good to have him around, but on the day to day, it's really embarrassing to act like this. And I think that this is some of the tension in the aftermath of the inauguration. Alex has to know that his team doesn't need him now that they have real power to work with, and his only real value is to continue to yell that the sky is falling and that it's all the globalists' fault so he can be used to help make a scapegoat for the consequences of what they do now when they have real power. I feel an emptiness and that shot out to break is grim. Gone is the Alex who was ready to go pretend to get arrested rather than give his fingerprint
Starting point is 01:11:38 at the DMV and now here we have an Alex who has secret federal documents given to him by the president that would blow the lid off the deep state and prove all his conspiracies, but he's not going to cover it because he would just fuck it up. He's right in a hypothetical sense. There isn't a big story here, but if he did have a big story, he would fuck it up. He would fuck it up. It's just wild to think that he actually knows that. He understands how incapable he is of being a journalist. Yeah. I just fuck this up.
Starting point is 01:12:08 I'd fuck everything up. All I could do is... Yeah. I mean, it does feel like he should be living in a moment. The moment that I think I've had where you realize I am making my own position obsolete. That was a huge mistake to not have negotiated a next thing. If I am ending my own job.
Starting point is 01:12:31 I had that at an office where I trained my replacement and as it was happening I was like, this isn't going to end well. This is not good. This is not good. I should just leave. Alex should carve his own path. This is pathetic and I think that there's some awareness that he has that's like
Starting point is 01:12:52 They'll come back if they need me right, but they don't fucking need me now they have power right all right There's he has to know I I what I find fascinating Right is that you know like I know a lot of people who are too poor, but somehow we also give money to people who can't properly enjoy it. And so you have shit like this where it's like, man, don't do this. Don't do this. I know so many people who could live just a super happy life on like one tenth of what he has and somehow he hoards it and still can't live a happy life.
Starting point is 01:13:31 Yeah, he's just straight up miserable. It is insane to me. And I think that's because, you know, it is the way that he's making that money that is corrupt. Hmm, like he's Shitting on people and hurting people and exploiting that like I think he I think that that's just a bad ecosystem and I Think the fruits of it are you're just gonna be miserable and I'm glad I mean it's earned The misery is earned. Yeah, I'm very conflicted because on the one hand as an empathetic human being I hear somebody who's saying stuff like I
Starting point is 01:14:14 You know I can't report on the devil I have all the pressure, but I just fuck it up sure and I feel bad for that person sure because that's a Keep your chin up Alex that kind of thing You know you don't like to see a guy in that kind of state But on the other hand I fucking hate him and I would like him to feel like that I mean, I'm becoming of the opinion that misery is a consequence Mm-hmm, and if you stay miserable then that's on you. So fuck you There's the idea is if you're miserable Fuck you. I, I, I, I, many people are just gonna get bigger and not grow up
Starting point is 01:15:11 Mm-hmm. There's a lot of those people Sure. Sure. He's a child. I feel like if I hear a clip like that. Mm-hmm I never would have been curious about this person. Yeah, I don't think yeah I think that there's something so interesting about Alex, the guy who wouldn't give his fingerprint at the DMV. Yeah, like there's something really bold about that. And they're like, even though it's full of shit, and he's faking all this, and it's mostly bravada. Yeah, like, there's still something that is enticing about this character. The guy who has proof of the devil that the president gave him who is too whiny to fucking get to it, that's not interesting.
Starting point is 01:15:53 That is a pathetic husk of a person. And yeah, I don't know. I mean, I have another clip here, but I don't even know if you need to play it. It's just when he comes back from break, He tries to self-soothe by describing violent fantasies and then accusing That New Jersey governor of being a pedophile. Yeah, I think we'll be all right But it's just interesting that that's what he can do. Yeah, you know that you return to that Yeah, that's his sucking his thumb. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He has this little bit of an outburst and then is just like ah Yeah, he has this little bit of an outburst and then is just like ah
Starting point is 01:16:30 The black people are gonna get shot at a rally. What do you got to do to a kid to make racism? Sucking their thumb, you know Hmm, like what is it that you do to a child that later on as an adult they go? Oh People that have different skin color are worse than me. Unfortunately, his dad won't be on the show, so we can't find out. I do feel like there should be a study. Well, I mean, I've read some of the John Birch Society literature, and I think I have some clues. I mean, I'm sure Dr. James Dobson is somewhere involved.
Starting point is 01:16:59 Yeah. So anyway, cut out here. And just everyone can feel bad about Alex being a Feel great about it. Yeah, feel great about it. Yeah, that guy. What a great moment. He could do anything else He could I I just I I don't know you could do anything. I bet he could probably fix a car. Here's what I would say I think if you have Secret information. Yeah, and you can't reveal it, don't tell people you can't reveal it.
Starting point is 01:17:31 Because you look weak now. If you're hiding Anne Frank, don't tell people that she's going to be above your garage. Right. Or if you have proof of the devil's giant conspiracy, you are now covering for it. Yeah. You are now part of the cover up, Alex. Absolutely. Then I know.
Starting point is 01:17:50 Just do something else. Go to the woods. That would be nice. Just be a woods guy. Mm-hmm, sure. Those guys exist. They just live out in the woods. Woods guys.
Starting point is 01:18:00 Be one of those guys. Sure. Yeah. It would be good. I mean, I also wouldn't mind doing that myself. I'd like to go to the woods. Sure. Yeah. It would be good. I mean, I also wouldn't mind doing that myself. I'd like to go to the woods. Sure, we're all getting there. But hey.
Starting point is 01:18:11 You still live in the trees, buddy. And shall again. Back to the future. Right? That was when we had our best ideas. So, we'll check in and see if Alex has some other better ideas later and see if we find out what his federal documents are.
Starting point is 01:18:27 Jesus Christ. But on a scale of zero to pinky ring, where is it? I feel like we're going to have to stay at a zero. Yeah, I think so too. Anyway, we'll be back, but until then, we have a website. Indeed we do. It's knowledgefight.com. Yep, we'll be back.
Starting point is 01:18:40 But until then, I'm Leo. I'm Leo. I'm DZX Clark. I am the mysterious professor. Woo, yeah, woo, yeah, woo'm Leo, I'm DZX Clark, I am the Mysterious Professor.
