indian chances you're on the air thanks for holding
well i like some of your phone call a huge fan i love your work i love you
hey everybody welcome back to knowledge fight i'm dan i'm jordan we're a couple
dudes like sit around drink novelty beverages and talk a little bit about
alex jones indeed we are dan uh... let me ask you a question yeah
uh... now i'm not gonna ask you a question about the whole israel palestine
situation that's a good that's good that it's been it's been ignored a great
deal in the news from what i've heard which is very little i've seen it i've
seen some articles about it but yeah probably not not as many as i feel like
should be happening yeah i don't disagree with that so would you say that i know
a lot about the real palestine situation comparatively yeah and then i know
less than you so in reverse though if you're going to use that same logic to
apply to our show i know a lot about alex jones i don't know anything about alex
jones and i know that was a circuitous route it is it is apologize and i know a
lot about how we're recording this uh... on saturday
is very different because i've got to watch wrestle mania on sunday yeah yeah
and uh... of course nxt takeover new orleans tonight very exciting yep i
really thrilled to see what uh... kind of hijinks these uh... these folks pull
out although it is the potential to be incredibly disappointing we'll see
every single wrestling pay-per-view that you ever told me about has either been
immensely disappointing or yeah it's all right yeah basically
you have never been like this was amazing it's always been the issue i don't
build up is so much better for you than the actual product well that's because
i like the storyline aspects of it right more than i like the execution
i mean i like the the like the actual uh... in-ring storytelling and the
athleticism of it don't get me wrong i'm not sitting on that
but i like imagining what could happen more than i like the actual
and then when the uh... when the probability wave function collapses
into one future you get disappointed yeah and i don't really like wrestling as
much as people may think but be that as it may
all right all right the guy who's about to watch seven hours of wrestling tomorrow
doesn't like wrestling as much as people i mean i'm gonna be playing zelda while i
do it yeah it's not writing articles about alex jones while i watch
all right don't don't i'm gonna be working
um... anyway speaking of working uh... today i'd put some work in
uh... on this show because as we're recording this on saturday there's
not a lot of material to cover from uh... you know since we recorded on
thursday right uh... thursday show was a disaster and then
friday uh... it was basically a best of episode again uh...
he had paul joseph watson in studio playing the hit video but he was
he was hosting for a bit and they played the really long
uh... video that alex made when he went out to ted new jents farm
great and i'm not watching this great yeah let that one go
so friday was kind of like a and there's no show on saturday for us to go over
as always i was you know it's a it's a classic situation where you got a
scramble got to try and figure something out of course
and so i remembered that back in 2006
okay why is that so crazy i just find that you say
uh... it was very difficult so i remembered in 2006 as though this is a
normal train of thought for somebody to go down well i'm i'm getting
particularly interested in some of like the more formative experiences
of alex jones's career okay and i remember that one of the biggest ones
was an interview he did with a guy named erin russo
and uh... i don't know if you know who that is nope but alex has sort of used
it as a foundation of a lot of his narratives
and i realized hey maybe we should go take a look at that and see what it looks
like through our eyes okay so i went back and that's an hour
long interview there's a lot of stuff about 9-11 that i've just sort of left
out i wish you wouldn't there's a lot of a lot of interesting things to say on
9-11 but it's it's it's all the standard 9-11 truth
kind of stuff oh okay why won't they tell us about building seven
all right and it's not it that's not all that fun to talk about
anyway erin russo let me tell you about this general i think it was an inside
job okay yeah you do yeah okay oh yeah i don't know what you mean by inside job
exactly i think it's just more fun if you think it's an inside job whether or
not whether or not that even has a it's more fun until you define what you
mean by inside job oh yeah then it's then it's trouble all the way it's time to
get slippery then you might as well just write a nice
little fiction like i don't think it was perpetrated by the government i do
think that uh cheney set the whole thing up in a in a zodiac style
uh situation no i wasn't saying zodiac i was talking seven
okay see that's what i think is going on dick cheney he was kevin spacey and
kevin spacey from seven okay he is punishing america for their sins so
that is one of the deadly sins what was that that would
avarice uh no i was just gonna go with a
building big buildings too big that's not one of the i'm pretty sure that's one
of the seven that is not one of the building was too tall that's a
pride seven deadly sins that could be pride it could be pride you could say
that anyway right um erin russo yes
gentleman who used to be he's guilty of sloth well
no maybe since 2007 because he's dead but see there you go pretty lazy since
death yeah i'd say um so he used to be a uh
hollywood producer uh that's sort of his claim to fame
and he came out uh before then as uh came to prominence
as a producer for bet middler uh in nineteen seems like a nice guy in 1978
he won a prime time emmy for outstanding special comedy variety or music for
his work on bet middler old redhead is back or old red hair is back now that
that is a seminal uh special for me so that i remember
watching that growing up sure just on a loop that's all
bet middler you have done it again that's the one award that he
has in his imdb credits right to his name although he did also produce trading
places which is really it's a great movie that's a
an amazing movie uh so you produced that but the rest of his resume i would call
ify uh it includes the 1986 joe piscopo classic wise
guys now hold on yeah it's not good not good
did he do the one with uh uh michael keaton where it was the
it was a dangerously johnny dangerously no
oh damn it because then i would really respect but he also did the 1989
cheech marin but not tommy chong stoner movie rude awakening
which he also co-directed oh boy i don't know if you know the plot of that one
but it's cheech marin and someone who is not tommy john
playing hippies who have uh retreated to the woods for years
and then they come back to society to find that all their old hippie friends
are now yippies oh no it's a classic classic fish out of
watertail exactly um so in 19 how was the direction
though i don't know i haven't seen it i think we're gonna have to take a look i
want to see how he places his uh camera to review scores on imdb are not
positive no they're not i think it's like a 4.5 out of 10 or something
but he made seven for directing sure sure seven
generously um in 1991 he made a bit of a pivot in his career and became a
a bit political and he made a film so he was a 9-11 truth or way too soon
this wasn't a 9-11 necessarily but he made what i would call
film in quotes uh called mad as hell which i could not make more than 10
minutes into when i tried to watch it earlier all right i thought it was just
going to be one of these shitty documentaries that people like alex
jones and his crew make uh but it appears to be more like a one-man show
uh okay that's uh being done by someone who has the charisma
and the bitterness of a 15-year open miker great great great great great great
it's him out on a stage let's definitely not name any names of those people
that we know no but i will play you a little clip
from mad as hell to give you a taste of what kind of energy he was bringing to
the table all right 51 percent the majority
can take away the rights of 49 percent the minority that's not
freedom who's ever in office determines
burning is this alex's burning impression like a ping-pong world
bouncing back and forth back and forth one says abortion's legal one says it's
not one says gun control another says no taxes are too high taxes are too low
balance the budget in seven years five years nine years three years one year
18 years affirmative action no affirmative action
speed limit 55 75 it's safer it's not safe well
it's insanity wait there is why are people applauding i told you it's like
a one-man show it's a live thing yeah but i mean
but even if it is a live thing why why are people applauding there's an applause
sign he's in a small theater and it's just like it's like that's a bit i mean
yeah yeah clearly the problem is it doesn't go anywhere or have any
resolution to it no and most of those things aren't things or even have a
point of view attached to it and most of those things that he brings up aren't
voted on in public elections and it's
i don't i don't understand how any of the things he listed
are things where the majority infringes on the rights of the minority
no i i especially speed limits i i guess well you got to throw speed limits in
there though yeah that's the real applause line
so he generally has had a history of just being his that entire thing was
just like some people say one thing
and other people they say a different thing right that was it
it's there's no there's nothing to it he doesn't even draw a conclusion from it
or or have a point of view on it he's just
observing that people disagree on stuff there's no prescriptive quality no
it's just he couldn't even be like maybe we should
have two separate countries like at least there's a thought there a dumb one
but at least there's a thought and let me say that i have to cop to the fact
that i had to turn it off because i was so bored yeah that's awful he may
prescribe a solution at some point right but i did not get to it
so in two thousand now if you saw my movie
where chinch baron goes into the woods we go into the woods
it's true that's a great that's a great end for that uh one-man show
so then in 2006 russo wrote and directed a documentary called america freedom to
fascism which is a foundational piece of alex jones's philosophy
alex sold it on the info wars store he references it all the time i did not
know that he claims in the film uh or he claims that the film had its
international premiere to packed audiences quote during the can film
festival the during part is very different i'm gonna
read to you from the new york times the film was not on the program
it can however not even for screenings made under the
festival's ages uh without being in the competition mr russo the
film's director writer and producer just set up an inflatable screen on a beach
photographs posted at one of mr russo's websites depict an audience of fewer
than 50 people spread out on a platform on the sand
i love that yeah that is guerrilla filmmaking right it's do it yourself
kind of the shit i'm i'm loving it i respect that more than a lot of the
people who were in the can film festival there's a there's a bit of hustle to it
but it's also like that shitty marketing thing or it's like a debut during can
like i know i know that's that's fun yeah um the film itself is just a
mishmash of all sorts of conspiracy bullshit but it's mostly about how the
federal income tax is bullshit it always comes back to that doesn't it and how
it's illegal these guys just don't like a what a quarter of their paycheck going
somewhere else yeah they just don't get it yeah
in order to make his arguments he engages in exactly the same sort of behaviors
that we saw alex do in endgame he fabricates quotes take sentence
fragments out of context in order to make quotes that appear to say something
but in context mean the exact opposite he treats conjecture in hearsay is the
same thing as facts and just makes up sources
uh one thing uh that he never brings up in his documentary work
or in this interview with alex jones that we're about to listen to
is that in 2006 when he was making anti-tax documentaries
and making sensational claims boy i feel like he is committed a crime of tax fraud
or something like that he has more than two million dollars
there it is yeah there we go there it is thank you very much
he kind of has a vested interest maybe a little bit
so uh we will get to this interview and then along the way we'll learn a little
bit more about uh Aaron Russo but it's important to know those sorts of facts
up front uh yeah to give you a little bit of a
flavor of where this guy's coming from like maybe Scientology is really just
about L Ron Hubbard not wanting to pay the enormous amount of taxes he owed on
his books possibly could be a little to do with that so here's the first clip
where uh Russo talks a little bit about his past and tells a dubious story
in the late 80s i was a pretty big silver trader
and gold trader and uh i don't even have to tell the story on tape before
uh i was a pretty big silver and gold trader and um
the uh i took and i always paid my taxes
and i took what was illegal tax deduction on my silver trades
and uh a few years later i think it was 88 or 89 or something
the uh iris claimed that what i did and other people did as well
was now illegal we couldn't do it anymore but they made it retroactive
can't do that so we're even retroactive it was legal then we do i did what was
legal yeah but it's now we're making it illegal retroactively
no that's against the law that's not good so y'all was 600 or 800 thousand
dollars for what it was legal how could you make something retroactive
change the law backwards in time it makes no sense
well we're doing it and so everybody said they can't do that so he went to court
a class action lawsuit and the judge agreed with the IRS
and said they could do it retroactively and that's when i knew
that there was something wrong in america with the iris in the system
sure dan so listening to that claim uh i can clearly uh surmise that he is
telling the truth so far he has become nothing but a trustworthy man to me
anyone who works with joker piss capo has the highest rating of honesty there's no
doubt uh now i'm sure that you have done research
on this claim and you will absolutely back it up that he is correct well x
post facto laws uh in terms of like you making something
illegal that wasn't illegal before have always been uh
illegal you can't do that in terms of criminal or civil
cases and stuff like that uh in terms of those sorts of laws
and most of the arguments that have been made or people have brought cases up
about this is like sex offender registries
where people have made the argument that when it became required to register as
a sex offender that's adding punitive consequences on that didn't exist
before and courts have consistently been like no
yeah no yeah i'm gonna go no yeah that's not an extra punishment it's uh
i don't know anyway the the issue is that with tax stuff
you can do x post facto laws really but typically speaking that's just because
of the way a government works right so let's say we
have a tax law that ends up getting passed at x point during the year
generally speaking what they will do is back date it to the beginning of the
fiscal year so it's retroactive to the beginning of the year
right that is the only thing it can't go too far
right there's grievous uh circumstances wherein like oh yeah we're gonna make
this back 20 years that would never fly okay that would never fly
so this is from the congressional research service quote
any retroactive tax legislation found to be uh a criminal penalty
will likely be struck down as violation of the x post facto clause
which the supreme court has done on at least one occasion in extremely rare
circumstances tax legislation that seems to target certain
taxpayers might raise concerns under the equal protection guarantees of the
fifth amendment finally it might also be asked whether
such legislation is an unconstitutional bill of attainer
when there do not appear to be any instances of this occurring
it seems possible that a retroactive tax legislation could depending on its
specifics meet the criteria to be a bill of attainer
so those are the only circumstances wherein uh you know you'd have
uh crimes being done by uh by uh retroactive tax right right and so
his story doesn't check out uh all that well i don't necessarily believe
the line that he's spitting i think it's probably a thing where it was like
it's back dated to the beginning of this fiscal year and he's like ah shit
yeah i gotta pay a bunch more than i wanted to pay exactly i'm going to
create a mythology out of this well whatever reality it's just kind of how
the tax code works whenever he said um
i've never told this story before back in the 80s and 90s that was a big gold
and silver trailer trader and uh i always paid my taxes
that's that alex jones moment where you're like ah
you already said that which kind of means that you know that you didn't
right right i have to preload yeah exactly um before i tell you this long
winded fictional story let me start by saying i always paid my taxes that's
just a given he he well i mean he had a two million
dollar tax lien in 2006 but uh so that that begs some questions
a little bit um so whether or not he pays his taxes is a
irrelevant issue to this next clip where he explains that he doesn't believe in
taxes but he's not going to tell people not to pay their
taxes well that's a good legal gray area right there
you don't advise people to not pay and i do the same thing people say well
you're saying it's a scam but you're saying go ahead and pay it
and i like the way you summed it up well it's really fairly simple i mean uh
since making that movie you know many people come to me and ask me whether
they should pay their income taxes or not you know and i never advise people
not to pay and the reason i i tell them i said look i've done a lot of research
there isn't the supreme court has ruled that the irs has no authority the
16th amendment did not give the iris the authority to tax your labor and your
wages that's a fact no the supreme court is the
law of the land you know and the and the iris is not
trump the supreme court however that being the case the fact is if the
mafia would come to you and say we want two thousand dollars a month that we're
going to hurt you i would not advise you not to pay them because you may get hurt
by not paying them whether it's legal or not doesn't necessarily matter
okay interesting now i'd like to read you literally the 16th amendment all right
quote the congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes from
whatever source derived not labor without a pro apportionment among the
several states and without regard to any census or enumeration
i would argue that taxes on incomes from whatever source derived
doesn't include your labor because that would be your income yeah what source is
that though i don't know but so there's a lot of people who have tried in the
years to call out uh and claim that there's
there's problems with the 16th amendment's ratification
one of them is that ohio wasn't a state when it was ratified
oh well then ohio is not uh subject to the rules but at the time you would have
needed 36 states to ratify it to pass as an amendment and they had 41 so it
really doesn't matter but you throw ohio in there
yeah then you have 40 out of yeah see there you go i mean that that's
but that's bunk you have to do the whole thing over again so every
time we get a new state it has to be a do-over on all of our amendment
everybody knows that that's that's the 48th amendment yeah
the do-over amendment let's reconsider it bring it back up and so one of the
most prominent anti-tax petitioners uh who operated on 16th amendment concerns
was a guy by the name of william j benson um he wrote a book called the
like the biggest law that never was or something like that
he's another one of these guys kind of well it's an amendment not really a law
sure uh he's one of these guys who is sort of like in the urwin shiff mold of
like writing books that say you don't have to pay taxes it's really dangerous
uh his sort of rhetoric but his argument was that the text of the
amendments that were ratified in different states varied in so much as
the spelling of words differing capitalization and stuff like that
hey all caps isn't your real human being right it's that all caps is your legal
entity and i've gotten rid of all caps right so he may i'm not mf doom
he made the argument that because of these capitalization and punctuation
differences that the ratification of the 16th amendment was uh it was null and
void see and now we learn children why the semicolon is so important absolutely
if they use if they had used the semicolon yeah we would have to pay taxes but they didn't
yeah so um that was considered back during the ratification times even uh and it was
a criticism that they they took uh and were like this doesn't matter
and so that was already ruled on in terms of like that being a uh valid reason uh to think
that income tax was not legal the ruling was essentially dude have you read this writing
they used commas all over the fucking place back then their f's were s's i don't know what these
people were talking about it's crazy they look at that shit you can't hold them accountable for it
so based on this stupid argument uh he stopped paying his taxes and naturally he eventually
was convicted of tax evasion and failure willful failure to file tax returns uh for over a hundred
thousand dollars of unreported income okay on december 17th 2007 the united states district
court for the northern district of illinois ruled that benson's non ratification argument
constituted a quote fraud perpetrated by benson uh that had quote caused needless confusion in a
waste of the consumers and the irs's time and resources i like it yeah so he he he got sentenced
for being a douchebag well because this argument has already been dealt with and if you're using
that as your legal uh backing for your i don't want to pay my taxes shit you're doing that
in full awareness that this question has been settled that and so this stuff like this this
stuff legitimately that erin russo is peddling on the show is is is demonstrably not true and has
been dealt with in the courts over and over and over again to the point where people who have these
anti-tax arguments they sound really good until you look into the actual details and then you
realize that people keep going to court for this stuff and they lose every time it usually happens
yeah they lose every time like those remind me so much of that kind of uh uh what like the the wealth
gospel preachers that go on tv where it's like oh if you just give us a little bit of money your
life will be blessed and he's selling his book under the same premise but if you do what he says
when you buy his book you just wind up going to jail for it uh basically and that was actually even
addressed in the uh in the court oh yeah about how like he's perpet he's perpetrating a scam on people
in such a way that is dangerous to them and he knows he he knows or has reason to know that
that's what he's doing right so there's one case a guy named uh Lloyd Long who always gets referenced
as like he went to court and he made the argument that Lloyd Long yeah where do these people come
from I don't know double L um so he ended up winning a court case uh it was one of the only
ones the tax protesters reference all right um but there's a lot of problems with this because
he ended up losing the civil case that was attached to it and ended up still being liable to pay all
the taxes that he hadn't paid right but he won a case where it was a court a jury case and all
they did was prove or they decided that he wasn't willfully breaking the law and so they they didn't
find him guilty of intentional they found him guilty of stupidity basically yes that that's
long and short of it right and uh subsequent attempts to use that as precedent have been like oh
good god no and so like all of this stuff is so crazy I like I like the idea of using that as
precedent too is just like well that guy was stupid right what do you think I'm not yeah come on man
that's more or less the holy grail of uh these uh tax protesters nonsense arguments um so in this
next clip uh we already got a little bit of a taste of this of uh Russo in his one-man show
that we listen to a bit right the idea that like majority well some people pay taxes and other
people don't well like the majority sometimes you do and sometimes you don't okay I'm I'm
referring more to the majority rule aspect right and he's going to get into that but before he does
he's got to do his best impression of uh I don't know college sophomores sitting around
smoking a joint uh talking politics all right all right here we go the the American people
are living in a matrix they don't understand the truth of how things are working in this country
you know and let me give you an example of what I'm talking about please do the very
fact is that if you if you ask a hundred people on the street what kind of government is America
supposed to be 99% of them will tell you a democracy America's supposed to be a democracy
but that's a lie that's an illusion the word democracy is not written into the constitution
one time it's not in the book of rights okay it's not in the declaration of independence
the founding fathers hated the idea of a democracy which is why they created the
representation of the republic and I agree with them because in a democracy 51% of the people
control 49% of the people if you're part of the 49% you're not free America was found
there's a constitutional republic and in that constitutional republic that we have 99% of
the people can't take away the rights of 1% you have your rights because you were born with them
you have god given human rights I got bad news about republics really also I really don't like
this whole you have rights because god gave them to you think I mean if you want to say he's using
that metaphorically it's fine I know the idea of intrinsic human rights which I'm I support but
you I understand I understand where you're coming from in a republic you could still have the
representatives 51% of them overruling I don't understand I don't understand what you're talking
about like a representative are you saying are you saying that there have been multiple
decisions in the senate where it was a 59 51 to 49 tons of them oh crazy took away people's
rights they took away the rights also supreme court decisions could go five to four there's
certainly instances that you mean where they steal elections right I mean or even like if you go back
I know I have harped on this a little bit before but like I can't remember what year it was exactly
but it's certainly in the mid to later 1900s there was a supreme court decision that upheld
that women couldn't work as bartenders in bars that weren't owned by a male relative yeah but
that just makes sense right but that's taking away a right based on majority rule in a supreme
court decision you know but god didn't give you the right to work at a bar that's true if you're
a woman that's not an intrinsic human right dad well if you're a man it is there you go if you're
a woman no well because women have one less rib or something I don't know I don't know how god works
like that and they bleed they're weak I don't know that's right yeah I don't know I don't understand
because like I don't want to get a drink from anything that bleeds once a month and doesn't
die right like that's the old saying any of his complaints about the majority rule aspect of a
democracy is exactly the same as arguments that could be levied against a majority rule in a
republic now be that as it is an argument against any majority rule whatsoever which is an argument
against against representation yeah it's an argument against government entirely by anything
other than a fascist dictator that stealthily might be what's being advocated yeah pretty much
in spirit I think a lot of these libertarian folk end up accidentally advocating for exactly that
under the fashion under the pretense of individual nothing is more individually free than having
one guy tell you what to do right that's individual freedom Dan right um but I mean like the the
I don't I don't even know how to I don't even know how to deal with that kind of nonsense because
like you couldn't you couldn't vote like let's say you have a right to employment or whatever
you have the right to seek employment okay as a person who lives in the united states yeah
God gave us that one now let's say 50% 51% of the public came out to vote and we're like all right
you can't look for work anymore right that wouldn't fly I don't know I mean like even gun even gun
stuff you couldn't vote on that no one there's no way that would fly no there's a massive majority
for gun control and we still can't get it abortion is not an issue that would be on a ballot and get
get passed no there would be but there's a massive majority that wants abortion
unrestricted right in the same way so like all of this all of this just is is empty to me
it's just his words are empty and when you consider he is not some kind of like judicial scholar
he's not a professor he's a guy who was bet middler's manager well yeah and then directed and
produced a cheech marin yeah but don't you know that bet middler only hires the greatest legal
minds to assist her on anything I could be the PA has argued multiple courses in the supreme court
okay yeah I did not know that that's now that now now she gets coffee um so in this next clip we
learned that the new world order is actually democracy what what but you guys the most intelligent
people what from a government America is supposed to be they'll say democracy because that's that's
that's that they've been brainwashed they've been scyopt into believing that they believe that we're
in iraq they believe we're in iraq to promote democracy the word democracy you hear george
boys saying democracy means freedom real quick um i'll tell you who didn't believe that liberals
in 2002 2003 this is erin russo in 2006 this is already a tired line of rhetoric based on like
protests that i was involved in in columbia missouri that i mean had to have been much bigger in
other cities but like i experienced this that these words of like this democracy thing is a sham
this argument is is nonsense yeah is something that was very uh well traveled territory for
people on the other side from people like um these guys yeah pretty much no democracy equals new
world order democracy equals slavery where democracy is not synonymous with freedom it's the
opposite of freedom if the united states so what's synonymous with freedom if the united states is a
republic in it in the way he's saying it and uh you know democracy is slavery why did we have
slavery for a really fucking long time back when the original founders of our republic were the ones
who were literally ruling the place well why is that the case well god gave them different rights
right oh yeah there you go god given rights democracy is the worst form of government
you can have it's the majority rule and the government can tell you exactly what they
want to tell you to do because the majority wants it i don't care what the majority wants
i live my life as i choose and if i don't commit violence or fraud against another human being
i can live my life as i wish so you can't commit fraud right i got bad news about the show you're
explain to me why it is they always pick the ones they're doing well to be fair that's a pretty
consistent lib or a libertarian uh position position because it's that like if i commit
violence against you then i am encroaching on your rights if i steal something from you i'm
encroaching on your right to property and if i commit fraud against you i'm stealing from you
through uh wordcraft and or whatever simultaneously they hold the belief that it was always out of
self-defense right that shit was mine to begin with right and it's on you to laze fair man come on
suck it up nope totally yeah it's all they tend to not give a shit when it comes down to their
behavior is really all they do it's a big old let's play both sides of this coin yeah of a
mentality yep so but also like it legitimately he's saying there at the end i can't commit fraud
but otherwise i can do whatever i want right you're committing fraud yeah you just as he's talking
you just said that the 16th amendment doesn't apply to the ability for the government to collect
taxes right just because they use the irs now as an as a government entity to do that does not mean
that the 16th amendment is somehow being violated and courts have consistently ruled on this this is
like one of those that's a fraud that's a fraud this is like one of those things where a guy is
trying to use the insanity defense and before he actually goes to trial he's trying to act it up
as he's all crazy dude like that's exactly like he's doing the stupidity defense but he's just
throwing it out there like see look how dumb i am that's what erwin you can't say this was
willful i'm stupid look at this interview that's what erwin schiff tried to do at the uh like
in one of his last appeals uh he was trying to say that he suffered from a delusion that he believed
that he was the only person who could interpret tax law correctly all right i like it this got
blown i'm loving it this got blown up in his face because one of his co-defendants in the case
sent out an email to their supporters saying that we hate to have to use this kind of a defense but
so wait what it was like a it was a hail mary kind of thing to try and get him out of prison you
can't email the invalidation of your defense you think that it's only going to your supporters
and they're the only ones who are gonna see it but that's not how that works nope oh boy nope so
anyway that's kind of funny that's where that's where your brain now he should get he should have
gotten off for being too stupid wow if you send an email like that that's the best evidence for
your too stupid to be willing to send it it was the other uh co co-defendant well then throw the
book they also went to prison yeah i would have guessed um so in this next clip uh hey what do you
know uh this uh this fucking erin russo commits another fraud on error great what happens is
now the government borrows money from them to fund the government and the government says well we
have to pay these people interest he's talking about the federal having to pay them interest
let's impose a tax on the American people which never existed before to pay the interest of the
bankers in fact in 1980 ronald reagan said not one red cent uh of your income tax money goes
from the country all goes to phone reserve well go with what that was the grace commission report
that said that uh or not one nickel goes to the infrastructure the country
so that's fun um what do you know about the grace report the grace commission report i don't know
ronald reagan put through i don't know i know it's almost certainly stupid um so this is if it's
if it's associated with ronald reagan it would uh definitely not be uh prosecuted for willful
anything um erin russo and alex jones in that clip both are perpetuating an idea that uh in the
report they found and reagan has said that none of your income tax money goes to paying uh any
programs or anything it all goes to paying off interest to these bankers these international
bankers and the federal reserve oh yeah the federal money from exactly yeah so i'll read the quote to
you from the report because i read way too much on this ronald reagan's voice i can't do that
come on i don't know how to do impressions give it a shot man see nope not good i like it um so
here's the quote from the report that they're misusing quote with two-thirds of everyone's
personal income tax wasted or not collected 100 of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest
on the federal debt and by federal government contributions to transfer payments in other
words all individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services
that taxpayers expect from their government now it's important that what is actually being said
there is more to the effect of everything is getting wasted as you see that at the beginning
there two-thirds of everyone's personal income tax wasted or not collected and it's important to
consider what reagan considered wasting of tax money uh because that's a very important context
human beings so uh building roads uh so this is not remembering anything this is everything
except jelly beans everything except jelly beans it's not a waste yeah so this is not saying what
russo's claim gets saying but it is good that your taxpayer money is uh illegally funding uh i i
read so um the grace commission which itself cost 75 million dollars uh found that there was
424 billion dollars of waste in government spending uh that this quote uh that russo extract
doesn't take into account what it does what it does not take into account uh is that uh that
number is cited in the report now what's the waste what uh what sort of recommendations did this
commission come out with i read the cbo the congressional budget office assessment of the
i didn't want to read the entire commission reports it's like 600 fucking pages long or
something like that no way and there's no way erin russo or alex jones read that either too long
but the cbo assessment found uh and listed off a bunch of the things that uh the uh the grace
commission considered waste and was part of that 424 billion dollars they could just get away with
the department of the interior no that's that's more the energy department that's ron paul stuff
the uh state department clearly we're in that world again so here's some of the suggestions they had
reduce food stamp child nutrition overlap oh i can't have that consolidate student loan programs
sell unneeded public land modify federal employees health benefit program now you kind of get the
sense that some of those are probably code how are you going to save money modifying the federal
employees health care benefit oh you're gonna modify it you're gonna get rid of a lot of i can't
imagine that you're just gonna modify consolidating student loan programs probably let's pinch these
kids or you're gonna modify them right modify it yeah you're just gonna put them together
reduce civil service retirement benefits oh you can't let them have that repeal or modify davis
bacon act which is a 1931 united states federal law that establishes the requirement for paying
the locally prevailing wages for public works progress for laborers and mechanics great get
rid of that great yeah also repeat under bid repeal or modify wash healy public contract act
which establishes minimum wage maximum hours and safety and health standards for workers on
contracts in excess of ten thousand dollars for the manufacturing or furnishing of materials
supplies articles or equipment to the u.s. government so again it's another one of those
let's cut corners by yeah people yeah yeah yeah because it's also for contracts over ten thousand
dollars so you can reasonably assume that the people who are getting those larger contracts
could probably absorb some of that you know but it'll be passed down to the individual laborers
they're getting fucked of course so also phase out v a health care facility construction oh well
you gotta get rid of those get rid of the benefits for the uh v a you can't have that now just put
them in a public hospital they can take care of they fight and die for our country which you find
to be so important but yeah but when they're done they're done right care about them after that
also restrict federal employee disability benefits well and what if they get hurt then
we'd have to pay for it that's bullshit if we get rid of those benefits they won't get hurt
that's an airtight argument dan reduce they just don't have a financial incentive not to get hurt
reduce paid annual leave benefits for federal employees where are they going make them work
more where they going fuck it where do you need to go come on man from the new york times i read
an article from 1984 while this was going on it says quote one of the reason it's not possible
at least at this stage to calculate actual or likely total savings from the commission's work
is that many of these ideas were already under consideration so 75 million dollars was spent
to end up with a lot of conclusions that reagan and his shithead friends already kind of wanted
just to give rationalization to it and the things that you see in it are largely get rid of helping
programs yeah so the idea well that's what the taxpayers don't want to see their money go towards
no but don't you understand this elaborate fraud that is against libertarian ideas that Aaron Russo
is perpetuating with the help very complicit help of alex jones is this idea that all of your income
tax it just goes to pay off the interest on federal debts when that's not the case this report he's
using it goes to pay your friends right exactly yeah that report explicitly doesn't say that it's
fucking bullshit anyway i'm furious about that yeah well you know we all need to recognize reagan
was one of our great presidents sitting on the hill speech one of them is a shining city it was on
that hill and the only way to get up on top of that hill is to stand on top of the dead corpses of
the poor yeah everybody knows this the grace commission report is like it's it being used in
this context is infuriating if you care about people and if you care about the truth right if
all you care about is trying to push bogus anti tax anti federal reserve narratives it's mana from
heaven because it's really easy to misrepresent oh yeah ain't nobody gonna read that 600 pages
not it it's not just easy to misrepresent even if you follow up on it you're like well yeah these
are great ideas you know like that kind of a thing of course of course you want to use the
report that says fuck over the poor and be like see they're fucking over the poor yeah so in this
next clip they talk about how evil it is that taxes are just taken out of your check oh they're
yeah you should have to write them a letter every time indeed and so now that you've been taking
control of the tax the the tax payment itself i mean we really like you're a slave they're taking
it right there when you make it exactly they don't even trust the public enough to send them a check
right so they take that automatically because they know people aren't going to want to pay it
no shit that's my response to that no fucking shit yeah do you understand how difficult it
would be to operate uh any sort of organization with just like yeah good faith you guys will take
care of it like the massive number of people like people who are like alex or like erin rousseau who
just like would destroy with uh let's see if i go away with this even the people and then when i'm
even when the people are filling out their tax returns there's still a shit ton of like i bet if
i just claim that i have a child nobody's gonna ask they can't look into that yeah come on what are
you guys gonna do show up at my house i had a home birth hey but but see like the other thing too
is that like if you had that system in place where it's on you to send in your taxes you would end
up creating a much larger tax system right because then you'd have to have tons of investigators
you'd have to have tons of people who go out and like hunt people down for not paying their taxes
yeah but we could afford it if we didn't have to pay them minimum wage or take care of their benefits
see it all makes sense at the end of the day have roving tax collectors breaking six dollars an hour
and then you're good what he's at zero government waste what he's accidentally advocating for is the
diametric opposite of what he wants he wants a smaller tax system and that would create a huge
tax system but these are all that would lead to audits having to happen for almost everybody
on a regular basis yeah because they i guess they just don't want to pay these yeah exactly just say
you don't want to pay taxes i mean they are yeah that's true it's just the stupid intellectualizing
of it right goes back to these ideas that are bogus that are misrepresenting actual cases it's so much
of the christian response to evolution like whenever they like if you go to the creation museum it's
not just like well we reject their science it's like their science is wrong haha we fooled you
yeah they thought they knew science with their doing it and we can just we lived at the same
time as dinosaurs you saw the Flintstones yeah there we go so god jordan are you ready for this
to take a huge turn i i'm not because i really think that every time somebody with the southern
accents says the word slave they should have to pay a dollar fair i think that's a reasonable
thing reduce government waste exactly um so in the next clip everything i'll pay somebody minimum
wage to go around and collect dollars from people in the south saying the word slave sure uh
everything changes in this next clip you we've talked a lot about taxes up till this point
yes and now everything changes we get back to the new i had a friend nick rockerfella
okay who's one of the rockerfella family all right and he uh uh when i was running for governor
in Nevada he came to me introduced himself to me through an attorney and uh we became friends
we started talking about things and um i learned an awful lot from mr rockerfella and one of the
things that we used to talk about was the ultimate plan of the banking industry what they wanted
to accomplish so what do you think about that my friend well i mean the rockerfella was clearly
recruiting him for the globalists and this is a this is while he's running for governor correct
ah see now alex is going to correctly call him out on his bullshit and he's gonna say no
you were recruited by the globalists what do you have to say about that erin erin you have tried
to take over through globalist means clearly you have learned something from this and now
you are coming back to me alex jones to rectify this makes mistake you're gonna tell us the
secrets behind the globalist and how it is that they recruit people like you people who clearly
have good ideas and they're twisting and turning these good ideas into something evil what do the
banking industries want to do what did what globalist secrets did rockerfeller tell you
you're on to some interesting threads that will continue as we go along um but uh what you should
know is uh this guy nick rockerfeller may or may not exist as uh as erin russo describes him
from what is there a nick rocker from what is available research because there is a picture
of him with a guy who is uh purportedly and it seems to be a guy named nick rockerfeller
who is a lawyer that is not enough he's a lawyer that's not enough evidence he may or may not be
a member of the council on foreign relations but it's not clear whether he is a term member or a
permanent member he might just be someone who joined for business context or something like that
right because the if you look at the role of members it's a ridiculously huge list of people
that doesn't prove shit uh to me at all uh there's no evidence that i can find that he's related to
the rockerfellers there's there's where we run into an issue here yeah that could be a big deal
that's a big issue that might be a big deal i also cannot find any evidence that he's on
rockerfeller records all right all right you all right dad so i'll stick to the facts
that's what everybody wants you for they don't need you for rock aware now in 1998 erin russo
ran for the governorship of nevada as a republican uh russo placed second in the republican primary
winning about 26 of the vote he would go on to endorse the democratic candidate in the general
election who would go on to lose to kenny guin who would beat russo in the primary so he's
all over the place there in 2004 russo he's uh he takes things personally and he was like
that guy beat me fuck that guy it's possible that was the motivation i have no idea i'm here and
i'm listening to erin russo's voice and he's a guy who takes things personally it's possible
so in 2004 he tried to run for president as a libertarian he won the first round of voting
in the libertarian primary by two votes which was not a large enough margin to name him the
candidate coming out of the convention so they had another ballot and he would go on to lose the
final ballot by 89 votes 423 to 344 so huge the libertarian party in 2004 at that point he'd already
been diagnosed with bladder cancer okay and that's what and he ends up dying a year after
or about a year after this interview with alex jones he'd already been uh suffering uh from
cancer struggling with cancer for years right and i think that might inform some of the claims he's
making because he has a two million dollar tax lien and uh he has uh been battling cancer for years
i think that that not to say boy it sure seems like he would benefit from more government spending
on health care it would also instead of perhaps uh being unable to afford both health care and taxes
it would also appear that he would stand to benefit from creating a documentary that's poorly
sourced called america freedom to fascism and then creating a niche market for himself by going
on alex jones' show and saying that he knows a Rockefeller who told him all the secrets it seems
like that is a pretty good gamble to make that you're going to make a lot of money from that now
and i believe he may have now proved to me that larry nickels existed before 2006 i think i can i
think erin russo faked his own death and became larry nickels no i can hear it in the voice no
because of larry nickels involvement in the early clinton scandals and trooper gate and stuff like
that where was erin russo at the time i don't know we was running for governor through nevada
he was uh you've never seen him in the same room as my point dad he was producing a uh
cheech marin joint that's what he was doing larry nickels wrote jingles the same thing holy
same thing we've seen the connection toward the movie that's probably not the case larry nickels
did ghost write most of bet meddler's songs though so in his next clip uh we get to learn a little
bit of what this mysterious nick rockefeller told erin russo yes about uh the globalists plan
although you notice not using the term globalist let's talk about international bankers right
so uh the ultimate goal that these people have in mind
is the goal to um create a one-world government being run by the banking industry run by the
bankers where and and they're doing it in sections the the european currency the euro and and the
european constitution is one part of it now they're trying to do it in america with the
north american union right and they want to create a new currency called the emero right and uh the
the whole agenda is to create a one-world government where everybody has an r or an rfid
chip implanted in them gotta all money is to be uh in those chips it's all like an argument to go
back on a gold standard from a former gold salesman and all money will be in your chips and so any
so and that instead of having which are provided by ruffles anytime you have money in your in your
in your chip they can take out whatever they want to take out whatever they want to so that's
that's the plan i find is disappointing slightly you know why uh mainly because i
one i'm pretty sure we do to some extent have an international uh one-world government that
is run by the bankers and so far as the entire economic system of the world is interconnected
through bankers some of that's inevitable though like yeah i mean even in a perfect
uh very mindful way of organizing society like the the way that you know capitalism exists
that is an inevitable conclusion of it because eventually you need to get into other markets
then i mean capitalism has a has a vested not even interest it has a necessity of growth
that is entirely what it's about and because of that you can't ever like at the highest levels
of it you can't just limit yourself to your area and and even even if you did you'd still need
trade yeah capitalism is resources from other places capitalism is a uh is almost a disease
like it spreads and it only has like one desire yeah it's a lot like bladder cancer yeah and then
it pees all over our assholes right i i mean you know what you know what also how bad of an idea is
a one-world government and how bad of an idea is the rfid chip well rfid chips wouldn't work for
that purpose just based on the technology of course but the the spiritual idea behind what it is
they're saying it's like having a fucking debit card you know i mean pretty much exactly like
having a debit card if i lose my debit card i'm fucked you know what i mean like i can't buy or
sell without a debit card and that's not something evil i can also use it to get currency out of
an atm yeah or whatever you know like it there's convenience issues that it does address but i
think it would never i think no self-respecting world government would ever go for that just
because of how hacky it is you know what i mean it is hacky it's the kind of thing it's like well
this is going to trigger the most aggressive angry gun toting uh right right let's not go down that
right let's give it to them in something they can hold well i mean see is how all of our debit cards
have computer chips inside of them that function in the exact same way as what it is he's describing
and there's all and there's already chips in like uh passports now yeah stuff like that so i mean
and what is your what is your business with like i think the only lot of people a lot of people's
pets have chips in them right so i mean i think the only issue with the one world government
is what government it is right like i don't want a one world government run by shijing ping
you know right i don't want a one world government run by those guys i don't want to run one world
government run by the united states either no but like the problem is that's the problem with one
world government is that most governments around the world are shit well that's and that's i mean
even if you take the world government aspect out of it like i don't want our government being run
this way i don't want china's government being run that way it's not an issue of scale it's an
issue these are these are i don't think countries are anywhere near as important as their shitty
governments that are fucking everybody over and that's why even if having a central one world
government would be necessarily not the worst thing ever it's a very bad thing to look for now
because of the unevolved state of all the world's governments exactly the uh with the exception of
something some places in like scandinavia the only the only difference between a one world
government now and what we have is that instead uh everybody in the world would just be fucked over
in the same way see instead of in their own unique ways see that touches on what uh the fear is uh
the capital f fear of the one world government that alex and his ilk have and that is that if
there is a unified one world government there's nowhere you can go so like if fascism took over
in america and it became a horrible authoritarian state you could still run away to europe or something
like that right whereas if there was a unified one world government then you would never be able
to escape it without getting off the planet which at this point you couldn't do as a citizen
ah so that in 2006 in alex jones world in 2018 of course you can absolutely mars basis right
absolutely well no not really no that's don't that's don't paint him that's one space world
government yeah don't paint him with that brush okay um but like so i get that fear and that for
and for similar reasons uh to what you were espousing about most governments being flawed i don't
support the creation of one world government but just from very different reasons than alex
and i don't think it's going that way no i don't think the fact that the euro exists is evident
i think it's going hard the opposite way currently there has not been sincere efforts to create uh
at the amaro i know it's been discussed but it's always been roundly rejected just based on the
the complications that would come from how currency works well and the the differences of opinion
between countries like canada america mexico there's no there's no way they'd be able to come to a
agreement about how it should be uh you know laid out right just wouldn't it every time it gets
suggested it's like no well and that's not least of which because countries themselves are not
unified blocks like so you know as much as your identity may be uh i'm american or i'm canadian
the guys in canada who are like government isn't real are more in the same country as uh
the guys in america who are like government isn't isn't real as opposed to sure uh people along
those lines like the country isn't the difference between those two people and that's an argument
for globalism because our borders are abstract ideas that i think it's an argument for segregation
and i don't like it now well i don't i just i disagree with your your your assessment all i'm
saying is that we should put people like alex into one camp well no no no because like but think about
it let's give him a state let's give him a state let's give him arizona look if you don't think
there should be a government you get arizona there's no government there you guys figure your own
shit out and everybody else will be fine the ultimate irony would be if like there was a north
american union that ended up happening and because texas is so bullheaded they're like all right we
secede right and then they are the thing that links uh the entire thing would just be like you have
one little sovereign state in the middle that blocks uh the rest of the united states from
mexico to a certain extent that almost to a certain extent california that almost makes
other states that almost makes sense because then if you were one of those assholes living
in canada you'd be like well i could just go to this non-government place right but because i'm
staying here i'm tacitly admitting that government is a good thing i don't know if we're going to
come to a resolution of this but it is more fun than talking about arizona i think i think arizona
is shit and let's give them uh whatever they want arizona has some delightful rock formations i've
enjoyed it many times in my life i love it i love it we should uh we should take back their land
okay uh in this next clip uh we get to hear a shocking revelation of erin rusos that comes
from mysterious nick rockefeller ah eric you be specific about when you met rockefeller
how it happened in these discussions i met rockefeller to a female attorney i knew who called
me up one day and said uh one of the rockefells would like to meet you i'd made a video called
man as hell and uh he'd seen the video and wanted to meet me and knew i was running for governor
in avada so sure i'd love to meet him and i met him and i liked him and uh he was a very very smart
man and uh we used to talk and share ideas and thoughts and um he's the one who told me uh
11 months before 9 11 ever happened that there was going to be an event
never tell me what the event was going to be but there was going to be an event
and out of that event uh we were going to invade afghanistan woodstock 99 to run uh pipe launch
on the caspian sea we were going to invade iraq you know to take over the oil fields establish a
base in the middle east and make it all part of the new world order and we go after chavez in venezuela
and uh sure enough later 9 11 happened and i remember he was telling me how
how you're gonna see soldiers looking in caves for people in afghanistan and pakistan and all
these places was he a psychic and there's going to be this war on terra which is no real enemy
and the whole thing is a giant hoax you know but it's a way for the government to take over
the american people he told you was gonna be a hoax oh yeah oh yeah there's no question
he says that there's gonna be war on terra and he's laughing there's no who we fighting i mean
why do you think 9 11 happened and then nothing's happened since then nothing um so anyway that's
a that's a little silly um here's the problem with this uh here's the problem i think i know why
9 11 happened um but also nothing happened since is a ridiculous thing to to argue and if you're
just saying that why haven't they taken over more planes i don't know because the fucking security
got clamped down real fucking hard now the other thing is all of this also it became hack all of
the stuff that he's saying in this interview in 2006 is stuff that has happened since 9 11 he's
just using his awareness of what has happened since then and pretending that he knew it 11 months
mysteriously didn't tell anybody before 9 11 he wrote it down in an envelope he put it in a bank
vault waited five years after 9 11 didn't tell anybody and then brought the story out mysteriously
around the same time that he released a movie called america freedom to fascism weird and he has
two million dollars in tax liens and has a vested interest in really trying to sell this movie how
do you sell it i know a secret Rockefeller guy who told me about 9 11 ahead of time therefore
everything in my movie must be based on totally real stuff now i'll read to you from a new york
times review of his documentary from freedom to fascism okay quote near the film's beginning
mr russo says and others appear on screen asserting that the irs has refused every request to show any
law making americans liable for an income tax on their wages yet among those uh thanked in the
credits for their help in making the film is anthony Burke an irs spokesman mr Burke said that when
mr russo called him asking what law required the payment of income taxes on wages he sent mr russo
a link to documents including title 26 of the united states code citing the specific sections that
require income tax to be paid on wages title 26 says on its face that it is a law enacted by congress
but mr russo denied this fact oh okay so he's just completely lying about it oh also the new
york times review also include that bet midler should get a best picture not absolutely yeah yeah
the film the film also includes a brief interview with sheldon cohen who was an irs commissioner
in the johnson administration mr cohen said that mr russo used editing that quote twist my views to
create a false impression yeah so you get these sense that there's multiple people who were involved
with this fucking stupid documentary that he put out who have come out publicly and said oh no i did
send him those documents that very clearly answer the question he asked and in the documentary says
oh no one will respond to my request and give me documents right or you have someone else who comes
out and says hey this guy lied about me using editing and now he's coming on alex joneson show
who has a staunch staunch credible reputation as a truth teller right he's coming on here in
saying all this bullshit that's completely unverifiable about a guy named nick rockefeller
who doesn't even appear to be a member of the rockefeller family that's saying using him because
that's my favorite twist because that's his name he's using him to say oh i knew about 9 11 almost a
year before but yet i didn't do anything which also probably makes you culpable for the deaths of 3000
people which isn't great that's right you didn't do a goddamn thing about it you want to criticize
bush for not stopping it based on prior intelligence what the fuck did you do also why didn't you tell
alex jones back then why don't you tell someone else who could do something scream about it
anyway my point is this guy's a con man yeah this guy is a big old con man yeah and uh it's so
foundational for alex jones's worldview that it this definitely deserves uh being talked about
now there's a lot of other stuff in the interview that we're just for the sake of time we don't
really have uh the time to get into um but suffice it to say the rest of the stuff is mostly like
this yeah um so in this next clip uh he said he uh makes a brave pronouncement about the war on terror
look this whole war on terror is a fraud that's a farce it's very difficult to say it out loud
because people are intimidated against saying it because if you say it they want to make you into
a nutcase but the truth but the truth has to be the truth has to come out that's what i'm doing
this interview the fact that the matter happens to be that the whole war on terror is a fraud
it's a farce the other's a war going on in iraq because we invaded iraq people they're fighting
you know but the war on terror that's a joke again you could have uh gone to any protest yeah
yeah i mean he's he's right and and he's not he's not just right at the time if you said the war
on terror was a fraud and the news media would be like ah you're a nutcase you're a lunatic
that whole thing i disagree well i don't know if the news is going to cover what erin russo says
oh yeah no no absolutely erin russo is a nutcase but the war on terror is also a fraud but that is
a very common very middle of the road position in most uh liberal uh activist communities predating
2006 right so this this idea of you know the media sold the war on terror in the first place
i'm not saying that i'm just saying that as a larger as a larger concept during this time
i remember clearly that so many people who are like this is bullshit would be you're an american
and you're a lunatic and all that stuff i don't i i think you still don't think that makes it hard
to say no no no well i don't alex jones is fucking show no of course not for him on alex's show but
at the time if you there were plenty of people whose political careers were ruined by coming out and
saying that this is bullshit name one uh david okay he's in my he's he works i t yeah
david from it makes a repeat of god david of david from it i don't know anyway um in his next
clip uh we get some more news from the rockefeller guy okay about women's lib oh why would you jump
there and he started laughing he said erin what do you think women's liberation was about
and uh i said i had pretty conventional thinking about it at that point i said i think it's about
women having the right to work getting equal pay with men just like they want the right to vote
you know and he started laughing said you're an idiot and i said why am i an idiot he said you
want let me tell you what that was about we rock a fellas funded that we funded women's lib you know
and we're the ones who got all over the newspapers and television the rockefeller foundation
he says and you went away so there were two primary reasons and they were one reason was
we couldn't tax half the population i think that's probably legitimate but the second reason was
now we get the kids of school at an early age we can indoctrinate the kids how to think
but so it breaks up their family the the kids that look at the state as the family as the school
as the officials as their family not as the parents teaching them and so those are the two
primary reasons for women's lib which i thought up to that point was a noble thing so we all
know that public school didn't exist before women's lib right uh so there's that yeah but they didn't
they they got into schools later right the kindergarten had to be uh yeah brought in which
kindergarten taken from the woman word kindergarten yeah where they were they garden children right
see there you go um i would i would say we funded women's lib well i think that you they're like a
central because i think if you do look back on it like after like even just as another example
like after margaret sanger had already been uh you know putting her crusade for women's health
for years and years with no help uh rockfeller foundation did come in and fund her a little
bit later good but uh so you couldn't fund all of women's lib though no no no but you can probably
find examples where they did support uh like causes or gave grants endowments stuff like that to people
like margaret sanger uh throughout history you could probably find that but that doesn't mean
that they funded women's lib or it was some sort of fake thing right now you take the example of a
fake thing you have people like edward bernay's with his uh campaign to get women's smoking
and stuff like that now that is a fake co-opting of women's lib type uh ideas but that's not like
the bigger picture of it wasn't that and to to a much finer point this is grossly patriarchal
like this sort of idea that he's selling because well he thought that women's uh liberation was
a noble thing and then he discovered that men should rule the world i guess but like even if
like all like there were women who didn't want to go along with the idea of i need to have kids
and uh i should have a career right and the idea that he's sort of invalidating those people's
perspective is saying like oh no no it was all Rockefeller funded it was all these elites that
i'm imagining uh that pushed this through it takes away a lot of the agency of the women
who actually did fight for change yeah and also it didn't quite get pushed through so not entirely
yeah so this once again the globalists are uh not real and bad at their jobs again he's not
calling them globalists which is interesting um so in this these next two clips we get to hear
Aaron Russo say some stuff that's shockingly familiar okay and i'm gonna i'm just gonna tell you this
up front and i hope this doesn't color the way you hear this clip uh but i got chills when i was
listening to these clips because i believe that what he's about to say alex has stolen his bit
i i think that did he meet three men in a hot tub uh no no that would be amazing
i this is i was with these three men in a hot tub and then a globalist came up to me
i think alex heard this in this interview Aaron Russo died shortly after this and he just took
it on as his own backstory because it's very familiar to us nowadays but i mean i don't know
i haven't listened to a ton of alex from like 2004 2005 uh i don't know if this was a piece of his
his past back then but i imagine it wasn't i think it just comes from this okay i killed no
as to say you know that i never really did that because well that wasn't where i was coming from
you know as much as i like you nick you know your ways in my ways were the other were the
opposite side of the fence you know i don't believe in enslaving people you know and um
and he would come back with oh i do well be more like you know it's better for the one that's more
like you know um how i put it it was like
what do you care about them what do you care about those people what difference does it make to you
take care of your own life do the best you can for you and your family what are the rest of the
people mean to you that don't mean anything to you that just serves they're just people
you know it was it was just a lack of caring you know and that's just not who i was it was
just sort of like cold you know it was just like cold you know and uh i just said what what's the
point of all this you have all the money in the world you need you have all the power you need
what's the point you know what's the end goal and he said the end goal is to get everybody chipped
so you hear that silly but you you hear a weird conversation you hear there him talking about how
nicholas rockefeller was trying to recruit him in so many people they were trying to recruit him
in but he couldn't do it because i don't want to disrespect the humanity of other people now this
does next clip where i talks about it even more and this is even more familiar i was gonna get
offered ten million dollars maybe because that's the ballpark so it's in the ballpark successful
the movie business and i saw the truth what was happening i try to express it to the people
and rather than having me express it to the people they want me to join this side because
so real quick already already i could have been glenn beck or could have been glenn beck
maybe i had million dollar movie deals he's already been in movies oh yeah he's been in so many big
movies he's offered tons of movies they're trying to reach out to me they're trying to get me in
but i don't want to do it so anyway because i was a mover and a shaker and rather than me
opposing them to join them it was real simple and uh he tried to recruit me into that situation
and um i didn't go for it did he get angry when you didn't go for it no no and uh you know it's like
you know i may want already i have to think that first of all it's very clear that alex stole this
because his response wasn't that happened to me too yeah so anyway my my thing that i'm amazed
at right now is alex is a way better interviewer in 2006 yeah i mean he's asking leading questions
he's not he's letting his guest talk and he's fucking he's doing it i think what he references
he's not a good interviewer but he's a better interview he references that they had a conversation
the night before and i have to assume the night before he told him some of these bombshell
pieces and so he knows that like let's not step on this i'm going to get a fake rockfeller story
out of this right right right right one time he said to me you join us so you have an id card
there and you know you have a chip and your chip will say kma on it and uh so what does kma mean
he said it means kiss my ass oh it stops you a cop whatever and you show them your car to your chip
and uh they'll they'll not leave you alone because you one of us you know and uh you know why why
are you fighting for the people for what what is that about the people just you know that they
have to be ruled they have they have to be you know the the constitution what we what you're
standing for is only for a few people selling through the visuals that can live that way
you know and uh we believe that this best society to be ruled by an elite people who
control everything this is so this is so alex's shit man yeah insane right up the alley i didn't
even down to the stupid we're gonna put kma on your chip right right like okay all right i mean
alex alex talks a lot about like getting an offer of like you have a free pass yeah you'll be one of
us why do you care about these sheep these and there's always a stupid code that is obviously
stupid like a fucking put badass motherfucker on your wallet and that's the same bullshit that
there's more or less uh mr officer i believe i'm a badass motherfucker
oh i apologize what's in the case i mean it's the same sort of thinking that leads you to like
those people who are selling the laminated don't vaccinate me cards yeah you know like i have this
card you can't do it you can't plug me haha you fooled uh i have a postcard that i spent 25
dollars on with the fit what what what was it the phrase that got you out of it yeah the phrase that
pays yay so i was uh i this is a perfect example of something that i definitely watched like
10 years ago or something like that you know seven eight years ago i have watched this interview
before but knowing that what i know about alex now i saw it through completely new eyes yeah
like that story to me was horrifying to hear because i know from other looking into this guy
that he's a liar right and then i know what alex has sold about his life story since then
so i i i have really strong confidence that what happened was this is erin russo's pretend bit
if you're a comic that's his bit and then he you know he's not super mainstream he never
got on comedy central something like that he dies a year later you're like i'm gonna do that bit
right it was a good bit right that's a great bit he robin williams did the idea that the globalist
have reached out to me and tried to get me to join their team explicitly that's a good bit
and he's just stolen that bit it's a good bit it's a great bit i mean it's bullshit but it's a good
bit i mean he should have paid for it yeah absolutely help him out with that tax lien
exactly right come on man i'm not sure alex had the money in 2006 look people buy bits it happens
there's nothing to be ashamed of yeah so we have one more uh... uh...
sort of bullshit thing that uh... russo says before we wrap this up and uh... here's that
he even mentioned to me once uh... they have a real problem trying to solve the israel
um... palestinian problem and he talked to me once about uh... they were playing with the idea
of bringing israel to arizona you know and i like that i do israel and give everybody million
dollars and setting up israel in the state of arizona
unbelievable
it is unbelievable that's pretty wild i like that i like that yeah i like the idea of
judyism just being like guys we got the math wrong our holy land is actually arizona
our bad our bad guys it's also kind of insulting that it's like hey fuck it uh we'll give him a
million dollars and then it's arizona now consider that that's that's almost anti-semitic and like
that the jews will take the jews will just take money instead of now consider in 2006 the population
of israel was seven million people give them each a million dollars uh put them into arizona as
millionaires and that will somehow fix the israel palestinian issue done it doesn't solve anything
does it no are you sure i mean you know what there are a lot of ideas that you don't know are bad
until you try well here's here's why i wouldn't solve that because first of all yeah give me give me
a reason dad well the people because i can't see any the people who believe in israel the most uh
aggressively would never take that deal because it's not about like uh just being like oh we can
have arizona great it's not about that it is about the holy land that exists there it's kind of pretty
important geographically based so even if you got rid of let's say two million of the seven million
people that are there you're still going to have a lot of people who are still um enforcing the
apartheid government and that's a lot of money yeah it's going to come into money it's going to come
into money you know what that's that's even if you have two million dollars that's two trillion
dollars more than that yeah much more than that is that much more than that yeah that's a thousand
dollars oh yeah oh boy yeah i don't even know what that number is called no millions of millions
a trillion is a hundred thousand dollars per person so i guess it would be a quadrillion dollars
yeah i guess so yeah yeah now our math is bad it's not important because this is all bullshit um but
i mean i guess a secondary issue would be then what are you doing bringing seven million more
people into arizona how is that going to affect the demographics well the arizona's love jews everybody
knows that oh certainly yeah that's one thing one thing that arizona is famous for loving jewish
people i'm not even saying from a demographic standpoint that way i just mean adding seven
million more people into a state would throw everything into complete chaos how many people
although i don't know of the seven million isn't that big for arizona of the seven million
that are in israel though too you got to assume that like that's including palestinians so i
guess it wouldn't be all of them well and they would have to take their rock with them so i would
or their dome they might they might pick one or the other uh in 2006 the population of arizona
was six million see there you go so you would double the population nobody even lives there
yeah this is kakamemi nonsense give him a give him a lake the idea that he's saying that rockefeller
make rockefeller right is saying this to him makes me believe that rockefeller might just
be a guy who likes to talk shit he's just a lawyer guy who uh russo has assumed is part of some
elite faction because of his last name uh and is like yeah i like i i really like that idea
i like that idea as fiction right the idea of just like like that's a great alternate history
fiction book is instead of instead of after the holocaust we create israel's estate we're just
like have arizona right it's both they're both deserty it's nice deserty yeah you guys get it
so i mean this brings us to the end of another investigation of a side con man in the uh info
war's lineage but i want to bring one thing sharply into focus at no point during any of this
interview does erin russo or alex jones bring up george soros in any way they don't reference him
that is a good point they don't talk about him at all zero soros and we're in the rockefeller
territory soros is right up there exactly but this this is a time when soros was not a thing
that alex thought about or cared about interesting it's all rockefeller stuff for foundation perhaps
maybe you'll get a plug in there yeah it's interesting to me that you have someone who
he's purporting as being on the inside and knowing a arch globalist family member and
having the invitation for them he's coming in and spilling the beans and at no point
does soros the open society foundation come up at all nope wonder why interesting i wonder
why fascinating right more on that to come in all right all right dan tease your balls off
i'm not teasing anything because i don't actually know the answer to this question but it's fucking
it's not right you know it's yeah based on alex jones's own reporting of his skeptical history
that he should absolutely be like what do you know about soros right if he thinks he's a nazi
collaborator you know uh if you know a rockefeller the rockefellers know soros they're
intimately involved yeah they're all globalists they go to their meetings or whatever and pretending
that in 2006 he didn't rank is bullshit that's bullshit used very actively involved in politics
very actively involved in funding foundations and shit like that in 2006 it's nonsense we'll see
i will see i want to learn more about it absolutely but it's fucked up this is if anywhere there
should be a fingerprint of soros on alex's past it's when he's interviewing this guy who told him
he knew about 9 11 ahead of time probably you would think that the you would think that soros
would have been like the main boogeyman from the start you would think or that there would have been
an investigation like our like if like when we go back through 2015 and do that whole long ass
investigation if soros then comes up it seems like there would be a corroborating info wars
investigation during that time of like well we looked into the rockefellers we looked into the
ford foundation and we found another guy we found a guy that's behind there you would think they found
some reason instead of just a narrative emerging whole cloth out of nowhere but alex doesn't do
any research as you see when he brings up the grace commission like he doesn't he doesn't understand
what they actually said he just thinks like oh i'll take that soundbite of no money what all of it
went to the interest when it's actually saying all the stuff that we didn't consider waste went to
paying off the interest when waste is something that very debatably is not waste no not just very
debatable alex doesn't do any work he doesn't do any research and you can see that even in 2006
i was hoping we'd go back and he'd have a much more strong grasp on on information and stuff
like that but no he's playing the same fast and loose games he does with uh with stuff now so he
can uh he's just more different he doesn't have the he doesn't have the same ego no no no not at all
no because the globalist hadn't uh imaginarily reached out to him yet ah that's true erin russo
hadn't died and he hadn't taken that on as part of his back story he didn't discover how important
he really was right right until after he stole erin russo's backstory right exactly um so anyway
if you'd like our show you can go to our website knowledgefight.com you can uh you can follow us
on uh twitter at knowledge underscore fight that's correct also we're on facebook uh what
else you can go to itunes yes i do you go to itunes you could download our download our podcast
indeed you could go to the you could go to the internet and just like i mean i don't know how
the internet works but write a letter and send it to the internet and tell people about our show
yeah that's a good idea tell the internet people give give yourself a return address write internet
and the the post office will get at that absolutely uh uh but before we end this i'd like to say that
i'd like to say uh you'd like to say that you'd like to say i want not uh for erin russo to be
the person you tell to fuck himself i know i don't think i don't think i i'd got the feeling that
erin russo wasn't the guy he's a con man for sure right he i mean he he should fuck himself on some
level but i do feel sad that he died yeah but me almost immediately after that not immediately but
shortly after this interview bladder cancer fucked him really well and he'd been you know he'd been
diagnosed for years so i think that he knew that the stakes were lower right for him to come on
alex's show and say crazy shit yeah um he's playing with house money i would say maybe
i mean reagan's in the running oh reagan can go fuck himself all right andy and chansas you're
on the air thanks for holding so alex i'm a first time caller i'm a huge fan i love your work i love you
